The ZM Podcast Network. ZM 3 and Clint. Afternoon everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint Show. G'day guys, happy Monday, not long to go now. Not long to go now, you're almost there. Well, I hope you're almost there. Yeah, some people have it rough and they work up until the day before. Some people don't go off at all. Yeah.

I've said it before. We've got to start closing these hospitals over Christmas. You know? Yeah, I agree. Give the doctors and the nurses a break. Yep. We've got to start shutting these hospitals down. Just do it.

Everybody agree. Just for a week. No getting sick and no having babies from... Yeah, it's easy. 20 seconds, nice round number. That's a Friday. Yeah. Through to what?

The third? Twelfth? Twelfth, you reckon? All right, cross those legs, people. But we're going to crack shit into it. We're still here. We're on deck. We are not in the departure lounge.

We refuse. We refuse to take our foot off the gas on the brain function. Nah, I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty in the departure lounge. And I'm We refuse to take our foot off the gas on the brain function. Nah, I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty in the departure lounge. And I'm here for another two weeks. So strap in. You know what? Tradie vs Lady is still going on.

Sure, it's just for fun. The tradies blew their chance at taking out the year. On Friday. They can't win it. They can't win it. No, they can't come back. It's 105 to 111 and there's only five rounds left for the year. They can get awfully close if they win every game, though, from here. Yeah, there's pride on the line.

We might play next week, so who knows? Oh, okay. There still could be a chance. Oh, wait, there is a chance then. There could be a chance. Well, the tradies would have to really put their nose in front right now. If you're a tradie or a lady and you want to play tradie versus lady and win 50 KFC chicken dollars, now's your chance.

0800 DIAL ZM. It's tradie versus lady. We're counting down the games left of tradie versus lady for this year. And we've been keeping score. The lady's out on 111. The Tradie's trailing on 105. Let's go to our Lady first in Wellington. She's 33 and her kidneys are joined together.

Please welcome to the show, it's Rosie. Hi, Rosie. Are you a medical marvel? Is that quite rare? I don't think it's that rare. But, yeah, I had, like, blood in my urine one time and went for an ultrasound and found that out. It was a bit weird. Oh, my God.

Wow. It doesn't cause any issues. It's just one of those things. So is it like you have one super strong kidney? It's apparently just a bit of extra tissue between the two connecting them. But, yeah, it's always my go-to fun fact. It's kind of easy. It's good. It's interesting. Could you donate a kidney if you wanted to or you can't?

I don't think so. I haven't looked into it, but it would be cool if I could. Good excuse, Rosie. Good excuse. I think I'd have to give them both away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If some family member comes knocking, you're like, sorry guys, mine are attached.

Well done, mate. Good job. Hot news from the knitting circle. Producer Claudia attended one last week and said it's a happening thing. What were you knitting, can I ask? It's not just hot goss.

People are on the piss, too. People there are hot. Yeah, what were you knitting? It actually ended up being macrame instead of knitting, but we were making little fancy knots. Usually you make it like a macrame plant of knitting but we were making little macrame it's like fancy knots usually you'll make it like a macrame like a plant holder i like it yes okay yeah i know what you can have a macrame wall hanging too very very 90s but very cool my favorite is how you described it it's fancy knots it is you're right that's actually how i'd describe it we're trying to make a christmas decoration macrame correct me if i'm wrongame, good, it's like knitting for people

who are scared of needles. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. Because it's all just your hands. Yeah. Knitting's not real needles, though. No, I know, but still. People are scared of knitting needles?

Maybe. I don't know. God, you should have seen my nonna back in the day. She was like lightning on those things. Missing up a storm. Makrame, it's like knitting, but it's knotty. It's knotting. It's knotting.

So anyway, Claudia's at knitting and came back with some hot goss for us. Yeah. Who's hooking up with who in the retirement village? I'll tell you off here. Who's sleeping with whose ex-husband because the wife died? I reckon it was Ed, Nuring, Cliff. If I know Ed, Nuring, Cliff. Little scamps.

No, I was talking to this girl. So it ended up being like a bunch of mums and all their daughters. So I was like, cool, people my age. Great. Yeah, it was awesome. And we were talking and I don't know how we got to the conversation but we started talking about her dog and she was like, yep, we've adopted this rescue dog. His name's Alex.

And we were like yeah like human name for a dog love it love it but she said the weird part about this is her dad's name is also alex but this is a dog like he's a few years old now you can't change their name and but they know because they come they come to their name yeah they already know their name but they put them in this crate and so they said owner a owner, Alexander. And then it said, dog, Alexander. So it looks like. They actually extended it. So it looks like Alexander, the man, has named the dog after himself.

Oh, my God. I didn't think about it that way. That's what it looks like. Ah. Alexander Jr. So who did they get first, their dad or the dog? I would assume their dad. Yeah, true.

I think the dad. What came first, the dad or the dog? I'm going to dad. Yeah, true. I think the dad. What came first, the dad or the dog? I'm going to say the dad. Dad in this situation. Not always, but yeah. Unfortunate. I would almost adopt a different dog. What?

To avoid that. Yeah. What if that's the perfect dog? It's not the perfect dog because it has the same name as the dad. Oh, who cares? So you wouldn't adopt a dog named Clinton? No. Oh.

Would you be worried it would have the bigger balls out of the two Clint's? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd worry my wife would like that Clint more than... Yeah. It's just confusing. It's confusing at dinner time. It's confusing around medical procedures. Like if you say, oh... Well, they would know that

if, you know, who's getting the snip? Is it Clint or Clint? They would know it was the dog because you've already had yours done. Yeah, true. You know, you just use common sense. What SNAP, is it Clint or Clint? They would know it was the dog because you've already had yours done. Yeah, true. You know, you just use common sense. What about if there's medicine in the pantry and then one of you gets sick and you go to get the antibiotics, you're like, shit, is this the dog antibiotics or the man antibiotics?

That's why you give the dog a different middle name. Oh. True. And then you're safe. The hardest part would be calling them back at the park. Wait, wait, stop, stop, sorry. Wait, stop. Do dogs have middle names?

If you want them to. If you want them to. Does your dog have a middle name? My dog, technically no, but because I've named both my dogs after real people, technically their middle names are the real people's middle names. So what's Whitney Houston's middle name? I'm pretty sure it's Elizabeth. Oh yeah, okay.

And then Meryl's I'm pretty sure is Marie. Meryl Marie Streep. Don't quote me. The dog. Was I right on either of those? Whitney Houston, Elizabeth. I thought so, yeah. Meryl Streep, Louise.

Oh, I was so close. You know why I know Whitney's? Because when she's in trouble, which is a lot, she always gets Whitney Elizabeth Houston. I want to know how common this is. I want to know how common it is for family members to share the same name as the family pet. You know what I want to know?

Yeah. I want to know the situation. Like did it go down in your family where someone's gotten a pet and they've given it your name? Yeah. And you weren't happy? Yeah. Or maybe you told them your favourite baby names

and they went and got an animal and named it one of those baby names before you had a baby. Before you could have the baby. And how did that go down? Or do you have a cat that you hate that you named after your auntie that you don't like? You know?

Yeah. 0800 dial ZM. Or you can text them to 9696. We want to know does your pet have the same name as a member of your family we're asking you the question does the family pet have the same name as a family member and why is it like a passive aggressive thing is it a fun thing or was it a complete accident? Yeah, there's a lot of text coming through. Someone said, we adopted a French bulldog and we renamed her Janet.

Not after anyone in particular, but she does share a name with our Aunty Janet who does demand the manager a lot. Aunty Janet's a bit of a bulldog. Janet's like, did you name that dog after me? They're like, no. Let's go to Monty on 0800 Dials of Dim. Hi, Monty. Hi, Monty.

Hi, how are you? Or should we say Monty, Monty, Monty, Mon? I get that a lot. Oh, damn it. Not original. Not original, sorry. I'll put 50 bucks in the jar here, Monty. That was a bad taste joke.

Should put some Monty in the jar. But to be honest, I loved it. Monty, which family member shares the name with a pet? Okay. We had a cat and we got this kitten and this is going back to like early 90s. Okay. Right. And my husband, he was sort of had just, he was a big fan of New Kids on the Block.

Okay. Love that for him. A bit weird, but you know, whatever. Yeah. And one of the singers in the group was Geordie. Geordie. Okay. So he was like, I'm going to name this kid Geordie.

Love it. And I went, okay, fine. I can deal with that. And then a year later, we had a baby. Oh, no. And he had known my son as Geordie. Your husband really loves new kids on the block. God, like, really, really loves it.

Yeah. It was like, this is getting weird. We had a conversation. Okay. So to clarify, Monty, you had a cat and... A son. A son with the same name. Yeah, so the cat would get, well, it would get really confusing

because, like, you know, the cat would jump on the table and we were like, you know, Geordie, get down. And the baby's like, what, I'm not doing anything. I didn't do anything. Geordie. Thanks. You got to go poo in your little box. People are like,

are you talking to the cat or your son? Oh, money's shit in my handbag. Let's go to Todd on 0800 DARS at him. Hi, Todd. Hi, Todd. G'day, how we doing? We're good, thanks. Todd, who are the family member

and the dog that had the same name? My father actually bought a working dog named Ben. Okay. And about a year later, my mum decided her firstborn son had to be named Ben. Why though? Why did it have to be? I don't know. Who was the, was it your wife you said named the kid Ben?

No, no, no, my mother and father. Your mother and father, oh right, okay. In your mum's defence, Ben is a kid's name, not a working dog's name. Nah, it could be a working dog's name. Nah, I don't think it is. Yeah, definitely. Ben the dog. The thing about a working dog

though, and you would go with me on this Todd, is that when you get it, the name is so ingrained in its mind and it's so trained. Oh, okay. Yeah, so it's kind of hard to go changing the name. Yes. But we did the minimalist thing and called him Len. Len. The dog or the baby?

The dog. The dog, okay. So the dog, Ben, became Len. The funny thing is that that dog lived to the ripe old age of about 22. No, you're kidding. You're like, it'll be over soon? Your brother would have been like, oh, my God, is this dog ever going to pass away?

Yeah. He was kind of deaf and blind by the last sort of five, six years of his life, so he didn't really know what a day was. The dog or the... Poor Len. Thanks, Todd. What about this message? We have two cats, Jack and Larry.

Our cousin named their child Jack, and one of my good friends named their kid Larry, specifically after our cat. I love that. Very cute. This one's also pretty funny. This happened to me, but it was a bit of self-sabotage at play. I decided that my future daughter would be called Olive.

I struggled to get pregnant for ages, so used the name for my cat just to find out a few weeks later I was pregnant and the kicker, I was having a girl. Oh, my God. I mean, great news, but how unfortunate. Yeah. Oh, my God, another Ben dog situation. My parents had a dog called Ben, but my brother's name is also Ben,

so they renamed the dog Ken. It's good. It's good. Oh, my God, wait, another one. They named it Sven. Popular name for a dog. Taryn's here. Hi, Taryn.

Hi, Taryn. Hi. Hi. Tell us, babe. Which family member had the same name as an animal? Popular name for a dog Taryn's here Hi Taryn Hi Taryn Hi Which family member had the same name as an animal? Kind of So my great uncle My nana's brother He had a farm And he'd name all his pets or livestock

After family members And you could tell how he felt about you Depending on what animal was named after what What did your nan get, Taryn? My nana got one of the horses. Oh, that's good. That's cute. Yeah, but one of his sisters, Robbie, he named the pig.

He did not like her. He had like some goats. He had a couple of pigs that he named after a few family members he didn't like, but mainly they were goats and horses. And then when my brother was born, he was the first male, so he got the dog, the Pride and Joy dog. Yeah. And what was your brother's name?

Liz. Liz. Oh, that's a good one to get. Liz, yeah. Liz the dog. Like, if you're getting named after the dog, you're like, man's best friend. Thanks, Taryn. What a great topic.

Okay. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, Squid Game, The Challenge, the reality show that is taking over the world at the moment. There's goss out about how the winner hasn't received the money yet. This is a spoiler alert. I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

Don't say their name. Don't have to say their name. Don't say their name. Okay. Okay. I won't say who. Well, what I'll say is one of the challengers, one of the contestants in the reality show for Squid Game,

wins an enormous amount of money, $4.5 million. Crazy. And they have still not received the money. So it's been 10 months since the finale of the challenge $4.5 million, and they have still not received the money. So it's been 10 months since the finale of the challenge was filmed. Some of the people on the show have become very famous. I'm not sure if I follow a couple of them. There's one that's super good-looking and everyone's now following. I can't say their names.

They don't want to ruin everything for everyone. But $4.5 million the winner received and apparently has not got one cent of it in the bank yet. So I don't know how they have managed to go this long, but you kind of won half that check, right? I read a bit deeper on this, and they did sign a contract at the start of the show that said they will be transferred the money after the finale airs, And the finale just aired. It came out on Wednesday last week.

I'd be wanting it the minute it airs. Correct, correct. I believe it's going into their account this week. But there's a scene at the end of Squid Games where the winner goes and checks their bank account and sees all the money in their account, which is clearly staged. It's just like the original drama series.

But you see them in nice clothes and they've got nice hair and you're like, oh, my God, they've had a $4.5 million glow up. Turns out, no, they haven't had a cent of that money. Ten months they've been waiting for that money. How weird would the last ten months be for that person? I also read somewhere that the contract that all of the contestants signed, can you imagine the legalities and the T's and C's that would go into this when there's $4.56 million on the line?

I read that in that contract, it states that none of the contestants are allowed to give any of the money to any of the other contestants. Yeah, right, they can't do a deal. They can't do a deal, so there's no point in trying to, you know, make a deal, like, let's go together to the end or let's do this,

and that was how it was. They're recruiting for season two at the moment of Squid Game reality TV show, $4.5 million. You'd go on it, wouldn't you? Dean, you've done worse for less. So much worse for less. I have done so much worse. $4.5 million, pretty much anything I wouldn't do for that, really.

Dean, I reckon Dean would be quite crafty. Me too. He'd be quite good. He'd be really good at it. That's the latest. Brink. Brink and Clint. Every year about this time,

Google release a list of what New Zealanders have been Googling the most over the year, which really seems like a breach of privacy. Can I say, how do they know? How do they know? Are they like me personally? Are they looking at mine? Well, they could. Yeah, they could. Could they? Yeah, they could. Who? say, how do they know? How do they know? Are they, like, me personally? Are they looking at mine? Well, they could.

Yeah, they could. Could they? Yeah, they could. Who? Google. Who's they? Google. Like, people at Google?

Yeah, I guess. I'm sure they could. I'm sure they could. If your browser is logged into your Google account, I'm pretty sure they could. Yeah, they're going to get a rude awakening when they see my search history. Anyway, they haven't gone as far as releasing

everybody's individual search history. Although a lot of people believe that that will come one day. That your entire digital footprint will be released attached to your name. So everything you've done online over... They should do it after people pass away. That should be a thing. They should do it like 50 years after you pass away. No, they should do it straight after and that's like a part of the funeral. So then some people

will be happy instead of sad because they would have been like, oh, granddad's a freak. Anyway, do you want to know what New Zealanders have been Googling this year? Yeah, of course. There's a bunch of categories. I'm just going to give you the top three in each. The biggest news things we Googled this year, the election number three,

Yeah. Is it a thing? Yeah. No, wait. We're going to wait here. Just Google why was the chainsaw invented. Okay. And we're just going to get Clint's live reaction.

If you know, you know. Why were chainsaws invented? Don't read it out. Some people might make them a bit queasy. Clint's reading. He hasn't tweaked yet. Oh. Yeah.

Pretty. Don't you love being just another great reason why? Just another good reason to be a lady. If you know, you know. Don't Google it. Don't Google it. Poor ladies, eh? We're going to attempt something this week,

which I believe is a radio first. Some people will say that we've run out of ideas. I say no. I say we're leaning into Christmas. And we're trying something new. And we're trying something new. Yeah. And we're revolutionising radio.

So don't come at us with, you guys have nothing left to talk about. Yeah, because it hurts our feelings. This week we're going to attempt to do a whole week of radio phone topics about the movie Love Actually. Which I feel like will be easy because if you haven't seen the movie Love Actually, the brief overview is that it's a bunch of different stories about different people that kind of all intertwine together. Exactly right.

Yeah. It's a treasure trove of talkable topics. And it's such a great Christmas movie as well. It's constantly in the top ten of all Christmas movie lists. And we're doing it because it's the 20th year anniversary of the film. That's exactly why we're doing it. Good point. So it's the perfect time to do it.

We definitely thought about that. That's definitely why we're doing it. Today, for our topic, I've picked today's topic. Okay. I would like to focus on Mark from Love Actually. If you don't know, Mark is Peter's best friend. He's the one who creepily shows up to Peter's house on Christmas Eve and tries to steal his wife,

Keira Knightley, away. And he holds up the signs. Holds the signs. And he tells her to be quiet. The song's playing on the CD player on the boom box. Say it's carolers. He says to her, say it's carolers. So lie to your husband.

And then directly after that he holds up a sign that says, at Christmas, we tell the truth. Come on, Mark. Hypocrite. You're a walking contradiction. Mark is the one that made the creepy, stalkerish, almost psychopathic video of Juliet, Keira Knightley's character, on her wedding day.

Where he just filmed images of her and nothing else. He was hired to be the videographer, but he just kept zooming in on her. Mark's the one that you also might recognise as the main character, Rick, from The Walking Dead. I'm always like, God, he looks different. Yeah, and Snape's on this movie too. Yeah. And Bilbo Beggins is on this movie as well.

And Mr Bean. Bean. Such a good movie. And thebo Baggins is on this movie as well. And Mr Bean. Bean. Such a good movie. And the lady from Pirates of the Caribbean is on this movie too. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Keira Knightley. Our question, our Love Island, no, Love Actually, Love Island. Our Love Actually themed question

and it's going to kick off the whole week of Love Actually questions. The question is, do you still hate Alan Rickman for what he did? No, that's Friday's question. Okay, sorry. We'll wait until Friday.

Today's question, just like Mark, the worst best friend in the world. Such a bad best friend. Did your bestie steal or try and steal your partner? That's the relatable Love Island, no, Love Actually question we're going to ask you this afternoon. 0800 dial ZM or you can text

us on 9696. You can remain anonymous, but did your bestie try and steal or did they actually end up stealing your partner? Yeah. And is watching Love Actually a bit triggering for you now? Because you're like, oh my god, it's my life. Love Actually. That's what I said.

Oh. I think. Let's see what we get. We are attempting a radio first this week. We are trying to do a whole week of topics about the Christmas classic, Love Actually. And it's off to a ripping start.

Today's question is, just like Mark, the worst best friend in the world who tried to steal Peter's wife, Juliet, aka Keira Knightley. And he didn't, he wasn't even successful. But what about the bit where Keira Knightley walks out into the lane and gives him an extended kiss on the lips?

Maybe she was just testing the waters to see. And then walks back into her husband like nothing has happened. I reckon my theory, she's ran out there, she goes, I better just give this a whirl. Just dip the toe. Give it a hoon. Yeah. And had a kiss and then went, eh, I like my husband better. And then Mark goes, enough.

A pretty crappy kisser I reckon Mark was. Couldn't seal the deal. So our love actually phone topic for the day is, did your bestie steal or try and steal your partner, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your wife, your husband, whatever it was. And we've got some callers.

This person wants to remain anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Which is fair enough. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, guys. How are you? Tell us the situation, Anonymous. Who was it? So I'm going back to roughly about 2003.

Okay. I was going out with a guy, and I had a best friend. Okay. Who I thought was my best friend at the time. They went out together to a club. I had no idea they were going. I had no idea at all what was going on. So it was behind your back?

Got to get it behind my back. Yeah. And then I got a message to tell me, pretty much text message to say that it was over because I'm going out with your best friend. And I'm like, oh, okay. Did your best friend ever, like, say anything to you or actually own up to it?

No. How old were you in 2003, Anonymous? How old were you when this happened? I was 17. Oh, so pretty serious relationship then. Well, I thought so because I was only young. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't matter if it was a serious relationship or not. That was her best

friend. No, you're right. It doesn't. It doesn't matter. Okay. Thank you, Anonymous. You've got us off to a ripping start. We appreciate it. What about this text? Yep. My best friend, who I lived with for three years, was sleeping with my partner of 10 years behind my back.

They are now married and he's still sleeping around. Really? Scandal. Well, what goes around comes around. Are you allowed to say that? Once a cheater, always a... Something. Cheater.

This person wants to remain anonymous, and that's fair enough, because they're dobbing in a family member. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. What's the deal? Who tried to steal whose partner,

just like in Love Actually? So my auntie used to date my dad, and then he met my mum, and they got married. And wait, were your auntie and your mum good friends? Yeah, yeah. They got over it. Wait, wait. Wouldn't your auntie and your mum be sisters?

Yeah, they are. Yeah. But like good friends as well. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah. They're really good friends friends even to this day. Really? So it's not awkward at Christmas or anything like that?

No, it's not awkward. Dirty old dad, eh? I have a question. No, he did it dirty. Anonymous, how long do you know was your auntie and your now dad going out for before your mum swooped in there? Yeah, good question. I think about a year, maybe two. That's a fair while.

So he'd been to a Christmas, he'd been to a Christmas and it was enough for your mum to go, ooh, I like what my sister got for Christmas, I want that. Well, they broke up

and then they got together. Right. Oh, there was a brief intermission. Yeah, a tiny bit, but yeah. I really like that family, how do I get back in there? Have you ever sat dad down and on a missing gun level with me, dad?

Yeah, well, he was the one that told us the story. Really? And my auntie was a bridesmaid at my mum and dad's. Last question. Does your auntie and your mum, do they have any other sisters? No. Okay, well, it's end of the line then for your dad. Last, last question. Do your auntie and your mum look anything alike? Identical.

Wait! Are they identical twins? No, they're about three years apart, but they look so similar. Which one's older, your mum or your auntie? My mum's older. Okay. He likes a went up the range A mature woman

Yeah Spicy Anonymous Thank you very much Oh that was a great story Thanks Anonymous See ya See I told you I told you this was a great idea

I'd give my dad And my auntie So much shit At Christmas time If that was the same In my family Yeah yeah I'd be like

Dad remember when you Had a hoon on auntie Julie Alright day one Of our week long Love Actually I'd be like, Dad, remember when you had a hoon on Aunty Julie? All right, day one of our week-long Love Actually radio phone-a-thon complete. Done. If you've got a question you'd always wanted answered from the 2003 Christmas classic Love Actually. Let us know. Let us know.

We can provide that service for you this week. We can do that. And it's not because we've run out of ideas. It's not. We've got heaps of stuff to talk about. We just need to kick stuff out of the show to do that. We just really like Love Actually. Yeah.

And we feel like we're doing the nation a service. Okay. Time for a round of Guess the Noise. Formerly Guess the Voice. I think I like Guess the Noise better. It's reinvigorated, hasn't it? Yeah. Just a change of one word. Giving it a few more legs, I think.

That was funny It was fun That was good I liked it That was fun Claudia It was fun Stacey Morrison Has a brand new season

Of her podcast Up to Speed With Te Reo out today And she joins us in studio For a korero about it Right now Kia ora Stacey Morrison has a brand new season of her podcast Up To Speed with Te Reo out today and she joins us in studio for a korero about it right now. Kia ora Stacey. Kia ora. Kia ora. Hello to you too.

Congratulations on a second season of your podcast. Ah thanks, my timing's awesome eh? Isn't it? The conversation around the reo at the moment, you actually couldn't have picked a better time to release a podcast like this. I didn't pick it, I just mucked around for a bit. But the thing is, it's second series. Yes.

And great news that I'd already recorded a bit about government agencies and their Māori names. So there's a podcast on that. But the thing about it, even though the direction now is to not use the Māori names, I actually caught one of the MPs on that side saying, waka kotahi, and then he kind of went, New Zealand Transport Agency, backed himself off. Really? But the thing about it is,

for one thing, they use terrible acronyms like MFAT. You know what MFAT is? Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade? Yeah, but listen to your voice. You barely know anyway. No. So sometimes, you know,

when they use acronyms, don't understand those anyway, but even if you just go waka and kotahi, is it handy to know those? Yes. So waka means vehicle, vessel. Kotahi means one or together in unity. So I just decided to keep that one

because I figured, you know, the whole thing about this podcast is about reo Maori that you're hearing. Yes. And I just want people to feel up to speed and go, oh, actually, I did wonder about that. Like, what does that part mean? What's the difference between a pōwhiri and a whakatau?

How come there's macrons on some versions of that word and sometimes there's not? Not to dwell on it too much, because we're talking about the podcast and we're being positive, but the thing that devastates me so much about the government side of things is the reasoning for it is that we don't understand it, but isn't it such a great opportunity to learn something

new? And you don't understand anything until you give it a go. And these little government agency things were just a way of just sliding a little bit in opportunity to learn something new. And you don't understand anything until you give it a go. And these little government agency things were just a way of just sliding a little bit in there and learning something new. Because learning something new is actually a really good thing. And they have both words on there anyway. Exactly right. Kainga Ora, New Zealand Homes and Communities. And Kainga U is on Celebrity Treasure Island, aren't you? And that's the thing, Stacey, is I think, and people don't know this probably, but behind the scenes, you have been such a massive support for me on that show because when I moved to this country I was starting at

zero like I hadn't grown up in New Zealand I knew nothing so it was quite overwhelming for me at the start but I feel like to the point where I've gotten now with your support and just learning little bit by little bit I feel like I actually am at a point now where I'm quite confident with a lot of words and I'm actually really proud of myself that I'm at this point. Oh, I'm proud of you too. And it just like rolls out on Celebrity Treasure Island

and most of the world is bilingual. It's good to know you. I learn new words all the time. I learned about Riz the other day. So, you know, we're all learning. Who is this podcast for? Up to Speed with Te Reo Māori. Who specifically should be or would benefit from this podcast?

Well, it's people who have heard Māori words around and they go, oh, I'm a bit scared to ask. So I want to know, I want a way that I can quickly find out, break it down for me. So I'm really just offering to anyone who's interested, and you don't have to, just if you're interested to kind of learn a little bit more really quickly, five to eight minutes in a podcast. So it's actually for everybody.

There's even sort of slightly higher level stuff, you know, because I've made sure that I've used audio from all around. But, you know, you don't have to be a reo expert to be a champion for te reo Māori. I kind of see it as the ultimate protest to what is going on. To go out there and to learn the reo in the face of what is going on at the moment, it's kind of the ultimate middle finger, right?

It's very ZME, eh? But I think the thing about it is... Oh, you don't want me to use the language? Well, I'm going to become fluent in the language. Yeah, well, it's yours. It's yours. It's ours. It's part of this whenua, part of this land.

And so, kia kaha te reo Māori. Well, it's yours. It's yours. It's ours. It's part of this whenua, part of this land. And so Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori. I actually am just welcoming people in. So if you're here for it, cool. If you're not, then don't worry. Didn't even get public funding for it. Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori. I like it. The podcast is out today on iHeartRadio.

We'll review your podcast. If you want to listen to it, it's called Up To Speed with Te Reo. It's hosted by Stacey Morrison. We love you. Thank you for coming in. I actually love you guys. I love you too. If you want to listen to it, it's called Up To Speed With Trio. It's hosted by Stacey Morrison. We love you. Thank you for coming in. I actually love you guys. I love you too. I've got to go.

See you soon. Bree and Clint. I saw a really interesting TikTok yesterday, which made me think and it made me realise that this is a question I want answered. Right. So essentially, this woman was talking about how her and her mum were having

this conversation about showering and they discovered that each of them shower in a different way. Mother-daughter. Yeah, so each of them, they came to the conclusion that there's two different types of showers.

And I'm not talking about morning and night showers. No. I'm not talking about hot and cold showers. Yeah. I'm talking about forward-facing or back-facing showers. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got some audio here of the girl talking about what they discovered. I've been informed by my mom that there are two ways people shower,

and we just realized that we both do the opposite thing. So when I shower, the shower head is behind me, so the water is, like, on my hair and down my back. Of course, I'll turn around occasionally. She showers primarily facing the shower head, so the water, like, hits her in the face and down her body. And she's shocked that I do the opposite, and I'm shocked that she does the opposite.

Is anyone else surprised by this? I'm shocked that anybody does it the other way to else surprised by this? I'm shocked that anybody does it the other way to me as well without revealing which way I go. Well, this is the thing. Which way do you swing? You and I go first. Okay. Are you ready for this? So face towards the water or away from the water

are our options, right? Okay. Three, two, one. Towards the water. Yes, my people. Oh, my God. Claudia's really shocked. Are you a back-facing? You put your face towards the water? Yes.

How do you breathe? I've got a theory on it, and I think it works for you, too. It's because I'm tall enough that my face is above the water stream. So it's hitting you in the chest? Yeah, it hits me in the chest, and I can dip my face in and out of it. No, I'm an avid face away from the water. Top of my head. Oh, buzzy, Jay.

Every time you have a shower, your hair gets wet. Yeah. It doesn't have to. You can lean forward so it touches your back. You tie your hair up. Ella, you're about four foot three. You're a face towards the water. I am not.

You'd just be, everything's a rain head shower to you, eh? No, I am not four foot whatever. Like you're in a waterfall. I'm a normal height, thank you. She's at least five foot. Thank you. At least. Yeah. No, I kind of, I'm a disco ball. I do whatever I feel like, but usually face the water.

Nine options, sorry. You're a swing shower. You face the water, yeah. I have to face the water because one, I mean, I don't want to get my hair wet every time, but two, I have this weird shower habit that can only be done facing towards the water where i open my mouth and then all the like my mouth fills up with water and then i kind of let it go and then i spit it back on myself

and it means i am warmer for longer people do that guys people do that it's not that weird people do it. You spit the water onto your body? Yeah. Like I just will sit there and like catch it in my mouth and then like spit it back. It's not spitting. It's not spitting because it's just water.

It's like when we learned former producer Anastasia used to chew crackers and then regurgitate it onto another cracker. I'm normal. Like crack a paste and then eat it. Yeah. I'm normal. I reckon there'd be heaps of people that do what I just said. Well, we're going to poll the people.

What do you want to know? Do you gargle your own shower water onto your body or do you face towards or backwards? Can you text us on 9696? Do you do that thing where you fill your mouth up full of water and then let it run back out? Yeah, like I've done that, but not every time. Not every time.

Like what? I do it every time. Every what? I do it every time. Every time. Every time. You do weird bathroom things. Why? What's the other weird bathroom thing I do? Oh, we had to report back.

Update. Update. So if you're a long-suffering listener of the Bree and Clint show, you will know that Bree revealed to us What is happening? that when she goes to other people's houses, she sniffs their towels. Before I use them.

Before she uses them. On the weekend, Bree very kindly hosted us at her house for the Christmas party. Yes. And I went to Claudia and I said, should we sniff the towels? And I wasn't brave enough to do it. However, I did receive a message from Claudia

after I went home from the Christmas party. And this is what it said. It said, Clint, I sniffed a towel at Bree's house. And? And oh my God, they smell amazing. Amazing. Yes. She passed

the sniff test. Definitely freshies. Thank you, Claude. And I put them out on purpose. Always got to put out fresh towels, I guess. Can I just say, there's so many texts coming through saying that they do the same thing I do in the shower. The water gurgling. 100% I do that.

No worse than washing your dirty hair and the water falling over your body. No, no, I didn't say it's bad. I got your back, Bree. It 100% depends if I'm washing my hair or not, but in general routine, around in circles. Or like Ella, like a disco ball. Someone said, you've got to wash your mouth too. That's what I think.

Brie and Clint. Time for a birthday banger. Brie and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. All right, birthday banger time. You tell us your birthday. We tell you what was the number one song when you turned 16. Let's talk to Tara on 0800 DARS.

Only know you've been ha-ha-ha. Only lose the sun when it starts to snow. Do you like it, Karen? It's not too bad. It's alright, yeah. What would you pick, Karen, out of interest out of those three? Probably Fergie. Fergie.

Symphony in the Domain is back. And if you tell us what song you want to hear at Symphony in the Domain at ZM Online you're in the draw to win a VIP experience for you and three mates plus return flights and accommodation. You can go register for that at ZM right now.

ZM Online rather. It's thanks to Manuka Farm. Manuka, but not as you know it. There's an Aussie bride Farm. Manuka, but not as you know it. There's an Aussie bride that's making headlines at the moment, Clint, because she was discussing on a popular podcast called She's On The Money last week how she thinks that guests who cancel last minute and don't turn up to a wedding should be charged a no-show fee. Oh, interesting. Quite an interesting conversation to have.

Yeah. So she said this has all stemmed since a bunch of her guests that were invited to her wedding did this to her. So one of the guests, the couple, there was a couple that actually RSVP'd, you know, way in advance. Said they were coming, yeah. Said they were coming, yada, yada, yada.

And then a week before messaged her and pretty much said, hey, we've just realised we can't afford to travel interstate at the moment. We're going to have to pull out. Oh, okay. A week before. You're not booking flights a week before. Not being able to afford to attend a wedding is a legitimate excuse, but you surely understood that when you RSVP'd.

Exactly. You were like, okay, we'll have to put this much aside. Yeah. She said within the last week, 10 guests who previously rsvp'd uh said that they had to now cancel saying that it was too expensive for them to travel interstate 10 look um 10 guests is a lot of people to pull out of your wedding yeah it is this lady do anything and then run up to a wedding maybe it's not because maybe it is a huge wedding. Right.

Because in the scheme of things, if it is a really big wedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then maybe not so much. Yeah. I just think if you're pulling out like a week before, you better have a really good reason. Yeah. Because you know for a fact that the couple who you RSVP'd, say you're going to their wedding,

are covering your costs. They're covering your food, your drinks, and part of the venue hire for the night. And what they've also done is they've put a seat aside for you that could have gone to another person. Exactly. Because there's always people who you can't invite to your wedding because there's just not enough room or you can't afford to invite everybody. So you are taking someone else's seat.

Yeah. And if you cancel land, it's hard to call somebody up because imagine getting the call two days before the wedding. You don't want to get the call up. But then you also don't want to just pay $200 a head for someone that's not going to turn up. I'd be pissed. There are a few really good reasons you could pull out of the wedding,

like baby arriving. There are great reasons. Medical reasons. Yep. Death in the family. Death in the family. Death in the family. COVID. COVID?

Yeah, you have to pull out for COVID. Yeah. But you can't say. Couldn't find anything to wear. You can't RSVP six months earlier and then the week before say, hey, it's just too expensive. So here's a question. If you are going to pull out of a wedding, close to,

and by close to I mean within eight weeks of the wedding, should you? Oh, I would say that's not even that close. That's not that close? Okay, if you're going to pull out within a month of the wedding? Yeah. Should you offer to pay for your seat at the wedding? I would. Should you go, hey, I know this is a pain in the ass.

I'd like to pay what it costs for my dinner or whatever it is because I know you guys have already paid for it and you can't get it back. I would. I'd offer to pay for mine. Interesting thought. And I don't think that's really a thing, is it? No, it's not. It's not really a.

And I don't think many people would accept it. But you should offer. You should offer. You should do the right thing and offer, depending on what your excuse is. Or should you offer to fill the seat? Should you go, hey, I can't make it. But I can find someone. But I'm going to make Dave, who is crack up at weddings. Life of the party.

Life of the party. He'll get the dance floor going. He said he'll come, yeah. He'll be hot on that dance floor. Bree and Clint. Oh, this text are so good. It's really tickled my pickle this afternoon. Where did this come from, Claude?

It came from you had an awkward interaction when you were in a bathroom recently. Yeah, I was at like an event at someone's house. So I see lots of people around. There's kind of only one bathroom that everyone has to use. So I've waited. The door's been shut for ages. It's finally my turn. I've gone in. I'm in there for- Drop a to use. So I've waited. The door's been shut for ages. It's finally my turn.

I've gone in. I'm in there for- Drop a deuce. Drop a deuce. I'm in there for 20 seconds. Yeah. And then I hear, and I'm like, I've realized I actually don't know what to say. Oh, you need your go-to say.

How do you not have a go-to line? I have a go-to, but it's not the right one. What is it? Oh, what is it? Okay, wait, wait, wait. Let's role play. Okay. Okay, ready? Okay, so we're trying to figure out what do you say when you're in the toilet.

What is the best thing to say? And someone knocks on the door. Claudia. Hello? That's like inviting them to talk back. It's very common, though, I think. I don't want someone to talk back to me when I'm in the middle of my business. The problem then was it's such a short short word and I was so weird about it.

It was so quiet, but it was loud outside. They then tried the door. No! It was lops, it was okay. But just that horrifying moment of the rattle of the door handle. You're sitting there like, I can't do anything. And then you always feel awkward when you have to leave because then you're like, the person that's going to be out here

that tried to get in. I agree. I knew hello was the wrong thing. Yeah. I didn't know what the right thing was. Yeah, no, hello is not the right thing. Okay, we can find the right thing together this afternoon. Okay.

Ella. Yes. You're in the toilet. Yes. And someone comes knocking on the door. What do you say? I'm in here. Engaged.

Get out. No, not the laugh line. Too much. I'm in here. Probably just like, hi. You don't need to have a full-blown conversation with the person. I'm in here. My name is Ella. I'm 23, and I grew up on the North Shore of Auckland.

How are you? What's your star sign? You know the moon's in retrograde? Pretty good, I think. Brie, you're on the toilet. I like to go with a classic from Ace Ventura. One more time, ready? Do not come in here!

Usually scares people away. That would make me run a mile. And that's the whole point. Especially if they got to see the facials. Exactly. Yeah. I hope they won't. Okay, you ready?

I'm on. Yeah. I think I'm a hybrid. Here we go. Yoo-hoo. No. That's creepy. Who are you, Mrs. Doubtfire?

Yoo-hoo. Yoo-hoo. Yoo-hoo. Yoo-hoo. My biggest issue. You actually say, Yoo-hoo. I get really awkward Do you actually say Yoo-hoo? I get really awkward like Claudia as well.

You're the campus straight man I know, eh? The biggest issue Thank you, I take it as a compliment. It is a compliment. I love it. This scenario,

it's always you on one side of the door. Yes. Very vulnerable. Nude from the waist down. And hands down. And it's always a stranger on the other side. Yeah. If they're knocking, they're either like, you know, you're a host family. Itude from the waist down. And hands down. And it's always a stranger on the other side.

Yeah. Like if they're knocking, they're either like, you know, you're a host and it's family. It's worse than a stranger. It's a mystery. Yeah. You don't know who it is. It's a mystery. So talking to anyone when you're in that position feels strong.

I don't want to talk to anyone with my hands down. Also, if the door's closed, just wait. Okay. Let's go through some scenarios. We've got lots that have been text through by people. We're trying to find the right thing to say when you're in the toilet and someone knocks on the door. I've got to go. This text made me laugh so much.

And this is my favourite. This is what I think I'm going to use from now on. Okay. Come back with a warrant. I am obsessed with that one. Okay. A few more from here. Captain's log. What does that mean?

I think it's a Star Trek reference. Oh, I like it. I like it. Someone, a lot of people just saying occupied, occupado. Occupied, just a moment. Someone said if it's immediate family, if it's not immediate family,, occupied, just a moment. Someone said if it's immediate family, if it's not immediate family, then it's just a polite, I'm in here. And if it's your family, then you get, what?

What do you want? Someone else said that they say seats taken in a Forrest Gump type fashion. I like that one. Seats taken. Seats taken. Someone said they reply with, oh yeah. No, can I just say no to that one? Oh yeah.

No. I like that. That's my new one. Not a good time for me. What about this one that's just come through? You're in the toilet, someone knocks on the door, and you respond with, hey, I'm pooping here. Hey, hey, I'm pooping here. Hey, I'm pooping here.

All right. Well, whatever you do, just make sure you say something. No one enjoys having the door open on them and no one likes opening the door on somebody. I still love, Come back with a warrant. What percentage of New Zealand do you think are currently vegan?

Oh, full vegan. Full, true blue vegan. Yeah. No animal products and no meats, obviously. Low, I reckon. Like what percentage would you think though? Less than 5%. Less than 5%? Yeah.

I am quite shocked by these results because the New Zealand Health Survey has released some data around these type of questions. Yeah. And I'm quite shocked by the results. I'm not going to lie because they are saying that 93% of New Zealanders eat red meat. Yep. 2.89% do not eat red meat but do eat seafood and poultry. Okay.

So chicken. Yep. 1.4% are pescatarians. So no red meat, no poultry, but they do eat fish and seafoods. 2.04% are true vegetarians, so no meat or seafood at all. Only 2% of people. Only 2%, they're saying.

Full vegetarian. A full vegetarian. Yeah. And only 0.74% are true vegans. So no meat, no seafood, no products from animals. And she works for us. 0.7% of the population. We found her.

Oh, my goodness. We've got one of each. I'm a diamond. Ella the vegan, welcome to the... Are you shocked by that, girls? I am. I want to ask your guys' perspective. Are you quite shocked at how low those numbers are?

Because I am. I don't think I am. I am because maybe it's just out my circle. But I know a lot of vegetarians and a lot of this and that and this. Isn't that the way of the world, though? Yeah, it is. You are surrounded by what your normal is, and so you think that it's often more common than it is.

It's an echo chamber of social media and all of that kind of stuff. Yeah, right. Yeah. I'm just trying to figure out how many people that would be. So you guys talk, I'm doing some math.

Okay, you're doing some math. No thanks. Because yeah, I mean, we work with you guys and vegetarian, vegan, so maybe that's why I thought it was more. Yeah, true.

Like when you're more like around, you know. And then like you think high school friends, family members. Yeah, but we live in Auckland. Yeah, true. Yeah, Auckland. I think it's 35,000 people. Who are vegan.

Yeah, true vegan. Do you know what I'm happy? That's no one. Out of five million. That's like nothing. Isn't it? That's a lot. I don't know.

I feel like it's really like people might have that mindset of yeah it'd be nice but it's really hard or scary to get into it well you know like because i was vegan for a little while yeah not by choice not by choice um what by relationship but it was just easier yeah um but the thing that i really struggled with was cooking or having ideas when you're not educated and you don't really know, you know, what you can cook. Like I'd always have this like panic of like what can I actually cook? Because Ella hasn't been vegan forever and for a long time here she just existed off hummus and carrots.

Once I wrap my head around it though, there's heaps of stuff you can eat. Yeah. Heaps of stuff. Yes, and I'm actually really enjoying the journey of trying to find yum meals. Yeah, you've added celery to your diet now too. Have you just started eating celery? And peanut butter. Oh my Lord.

I forgot it existed for a bit. Yeah. Someone said data or data. Is that how Bree pronounces data? Wait, how do you guys pronounce it? Guys, that's not the conversation. We're talking about vegans here. No, but this is also interesting.

Data. Data. Data. Data. Yeah, data. Data also interesting. Data. Data. Data. Data. Yeah, data. Data's American. Data. Did I say data?

I think so. I think I panic sometimes. What was the vegetarian number again? Only 2% of New Zealanders. The vegetarian, 2.04%. That's crazy to me too. That feels low, yeah. Because the vegetarian movement, the alternative meat movement seems...

I don't think that's right. I think it's gone backwards. I think it peaked and I think it's starting to go backwards. I don't think that number's right. Just 2%? I think the New Zealand Health Survey have got it wrong. I didn't get polled. Did you?

No, I didn't get polled. I didn't. But was it in your census that we did at the start of the year? Was it in the census? 100,000 vegetarians. Oh, okay. Out of 5 million. Out of 5 million.

Not many. I've been. Out of 5 million. Out of 5 million. Not many. According to that. I've been offered a vegan cookbook. Eden vegan cookbook apparently is good. Crazy that no one wanted that and they just wanted to give it to you. No, no, no. Not to give it to me. Just get it.

Shut up! Bree and Clint. Big news for the vapists among us. The rules are changing on December 21st. It's all changing around the vapes. Vape retailers in New Zealand right now are encouraging people to stockpile the disposable vapes and the high nicotine vapes

because of the law changes that are coming into place next week. That's not us. It's not us encouraging you to stockpile. We're not saying to do that. Don't stockpile anything. Yeah. Leave some for the rest of us, okay? It's not us. It's not us encouraging you to stop. We're not saying to do that. Don't stockpile anything. No, yeah. Leave some for the rest of us, okay? From December 21st, this is how the rules are changing.

Disposable vapes can no longer be sold. Those are the single-use ones that you get. You can't recharge them. You can't refill them. They're terrible for the environment. Terrible. Horrible. And really cheap, which I think is part of the issue because...

Ten bucks here, ten bucks there. Take the environment out of the equation. I think it's become really easy for people who don't want to commit to a life of vaping to just be like... I'll get one. I'll just grab one for tonight. Yeah. And that'll be fun.

And then before you know it, you're... Well, that's the thing. You're chuffing away on your drive to work in the morning. Vapes from December 21st have to have maximum nicotine limits. They have to have removable batteries and they have to have like a child safety lock on them. Kind of like the barbecue lighters and things. That is smart. It is a good idea.

That is very smart. But I've seen a kid unlock an iPad at age two. I'm pretty sure they're going to figure out how to do the vape lock, you know? They'll eventually figure it out. Unless the vape has like a facial recognition software built into it, the kids are going to find their way into the vape. I mean, I'm thinking of really young kids though. This is what I'm talking about too, but yeah, absolutely.

You've got to start somewhere. But like it's the same as like, you know, a pill bottle. They can't get into those usually. Nah. Usually. Yeah, yeah, true. Like it's not same as a pill bottle. They can't get into those usually. Nah. Usually. Yeah, yeah, true. It's not technology-based. They're like, what is this?

From March, the rules change again. So March next year, all vapes will be limited to generic flavours. I guess that's your mint, your- Tobacco. Golden tobacco. All the yuck ones. Yeah. All the ones that actually taste like what they are.

Yeah, exactly. Just straight nicotine, you know? So you won't be able to get- They should just bring out nicotine flavour and no one would want it. Yeah. You won't be able to get your watermelon ice. You won't be able to get your guava. Yeah, all the kid flavours.

You won't be able to get bubble gum, all of those. And that's the idea. They've got to make them less appealing to kids. Yeah, they really have to. You're not going to be allowed to have pictures of toys or cartoons on your vapes from March, which is crazy that you even can have that now. Yeah. Like imagine if, I don't know,

bourbon, for example, had a picture of the Paw Patrol on it. Fun. Like drunk Paw Patrol. Yeah. At the moment, with these law changes that are happening next week from December 21st, a lot of vape stores around the country are selling off their vapes as cheaply At the moment, with these law changes that are happening next week from December 21st, a lot of vape stores around the country are selling off their vapes as cheaply as they can.

Really? There are disposable vapes at the moment going for $2. What? And some vape retailers are giving them away if you buy something else. They'll give you the disposables for free. But they've got to get rid of the stock. Yeah, and it's hard because they shouldn't be allowed to do that because that is just not a good idea. But then it's also kind of like, did these people who own the vape shots know that this was going to happen

or has it kind of just been bought in at the last minute? No, no, no, it's been coming. Oh, right. Yeah. Because or else I'd feel bad for them in a way where I'm like, if they've spent all this money and then they've sprung it on them. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, yeah.
