ZDM's Brie and Clint. I change your life if you just live on me tonight. Good, everybody. Gee, big afternoon in the news for the invasive species. First of all, a gold clam sounds delicious. It does sound yum. Like a gold kiwi fruit. You know, there's regular kiwi fruit, and then there's the gold kiwi fruit.

The gold kiwi fruit just took kiwi fruit to a new level. Yeah. Don't you reckon? No, no, as a traditionalist, I don't agree. But I know that people, I like original variety, yeah. Yeah. I actually like original variety clams, but I've never had a gold clam, so. And then that yellow-legged hornet can piss off.

Oh my God, the last thing we need is another hornet. What a hornet spring to the environment anyway? What a wasps spring to the environment? environment. Same with wass. Get rid of the wasp. Get rid of the hornets. Bees? You're all good with me. Bees. Bees? Bees, we all g's. Hornets, you can fur... Cornet.

Yeah. Right? That was nice. And wasps. Don't get me started on wasps. The thing I don't like about wasps is how evil is it that they can sting and sting and and sting. You know, if a bee stings you, it's its last resort. because it's like, it's like a kamikaze pilot, isn't it? I got stung. The bee's like, I'm going in and I know I'm not coming out alive,

but this means so much to me, I'm going to do it. The death mission. Wasp is just like. Whatever. I got stung by a bumblebee once, and then someone goes, bumblebee don't sting. And I said, what do you call this? Yeah.

And it stung me right in the armpit. Ooh. Look like I had a third boo. Right in the milk duct. Right in the milk ducts. I had three milkers that day. Breed had bee venom coming out of nips. I had a unibou.

Um, God, what do we got? Six shows to go. Um, fun one though, fun one today. Let us, let us briefly re-impress upon you the importance of Trady versus Lady today. Oh, yeah, we're back into that today. It's 105.99. 105 Trades, 99 ladies. It is not over for the ladies, but the ladies have to.

Here we are. Can you feel at the pressure? It's high stakes, Trady versus Lady. It is very high stakes. Couldn't get any higher for the ladies. They're sitting on 99 wins for the year. The Trady's on 105. The ladies must win, or they're. They're out of it.

There's very little pressure on the Trades, except for the fact that if they win, they can put their feet up for the rest of the year. Yep. But that's not pressure. That's not pressure. Because you've got make-do after make-do after make-do, you know? Exactly.

Let's not focus on that. Let's just focus on the game and the people at hand. Our lady is in Hamilton. She's 34. She has three children. Please welcome to the show, Amber. Hi, Amber. Hello.

Amber, you all good? I feel like it was ragged. I called out a few times and I felt like I wasn't here. I know. We heard you. We absolutely heard you. There's this thing where you hear Sally after we hear Sally, because it's got to go up to the radio station and then back down to your phone. But I promise you, if you listen to the podcast, you would hear what we heard and Sally got in first.

Oh, good. Sorry, Amber. Oh, good. You should call back tomorrow and play a game without the pressure. Win the 50 bucks. Call back tomorrow. Okay, thanks guys. Bye, Amber. Hey, well done, Trades. That's it. That's a year well played. the year. Good on your tradies. Let's talk about relationship gripes because I feel like when you're in a long-term relationship

little things start to annoy you. Let's talk about you and I were saying last night that we are miserable. What in our relationships? Were we? Yeah. Oh. We're saying, God, it's good to vent. I don't know if I was saying that.

Oh, no, me neither. Yeah. It wasn't for the room. No, just kidding. We're joking. I read this story about this newly married couple where the man has a petty relationship gripe. What would I call it petty? I don't know if I'd call it petty,

but just something that his wife does. I don't know if you get to gripe as a newlywed. What do you mean? I reckon shut up. If you're newly, suck it up. What if it's her grok? Honeymoon period. Suck it.

Oh. Are you thinking back to when you were newly married? Well, it's meant to be the honeymoon phase. Just be grateful that she said yes and she married. Exactly right. No one wants to hear your gripes when you've just been married. Because if you gripe, I'd be like, well, why did I buy you that wedding gift? Why'd I spend all that money to come to your destination wedding?

Hear me out. Let's talk details. This is what he said. My wife and I recently got married and we moved in together. She has a bathroom habit that really irks me. Oh. She likes to leave we in the toilet and not flush it. each time to conserve water.

I believe she picked up this behaviour from her mum. Okay. He then complained that every time he walks into the bathroom, that it smells like we, and he's over it. He doesn't want to save a penny on a gallon of water. No. It's yuck, flush to the toilet.

So, first of all, let's address our tank water listeners. I think you guys are excluded from this conversation. 100%. Because I've got tank water family members. and every time you go over there, they remind you, by the way, it's good to have you here just so you remember, if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down.

Normally, they have a sign over the toilet. Yeah. I mean, I grew up. And that's different, because you're living in old-worldy times. I grew up in a tank water family. And when I go home for Christmas, my family's still on tank water. You, worse, you grew up in a rural Australian tank water situation when you never knew whether the tank was going to get refilled or not.

We were more often in drought than we were. in drought. Did your parents encourage you, because if you had boys, you would, but did they encourage you as the girl to pee outside? No. Because of ours rural. Yeah. And I had boys.

My brother peed outside a lot. And I'd tell my son he was a hero every time you did it. I'd be like, you're saving the family. Keep doing what you're doing. You know, what's interesting is we never got told not to flush our whys, but our whole family would bath in the same bath water. Well, much less water and a flush than a bath. Someone's just text in and they said, tank water user here, guys, that's yuck, just flush it.

We always flush our whys. Okay. So it's not my place to say. I do have toddlers who often don't flush their wee. And even though they can't, and I should be accepting, even when I go in there, I'm like, oh, yuck. You guys like yuck. Drink more water. Yeah, there's a bit of that.

Yeah. Because you know exactly how hydrated your partner is. Yeah. Remember that partner I had back in the. day, not my current partner who definitely flushes the toilet and is perfect in every way. But my ex never washed her hands after using the toilet. Oh, that's right. And it grossed me out bad.

Like, this is when we were at home. Yeah. Like at home, after we's, no washing of the hands took place. And it just weirded me out. I just didn't like it. Someone's just texted in and they said, apparently, it cost 20 cents. to flush a toilet. What?

Really? Well, look, not everywhere pays for water. Not everywhere has to pay for water. Auckland does. Totanga does. I know where I grew up in Rotorua, we didn't pay for our water. Really? Yeah.

Yep. Really? Wow. Here's a question. Back to the peeing on the lawn. Yeah. You know how, like, dogs, it can kill the lawn. Yeah, yeah.

Can human wees kill the lawn? I guess it depends on what you've been drinking. I don't know. The answer to, that. I've never seen a patch on the lawn after I've done a wee on it. Okay. But I generally wee inside. Someone said, Clint you should just pop to a cafe. No, okay? We've had this, no.

No, Clint only goes to the cafe when he needs to go number twos. He doesn't like to do number twos at home. Yeah. Just at cafes. And I'm always waiting in a queue behind three or Ella. If you see Clint at a cafe, make sure you go up to him and be like, enjoy your number two's. I will die. I would die. What do you want to know about this guy's gripe? He's angry because his newly weird wife won't flush the toilet.

What do you think? Should he say something to her? Yeah, I feel like if you've got one toilet in the house... Hey, can you flush your toilet? Hey, hey, I'll pay for it. Hey, love you. I'll pay for it. I'm excited to spend the rest of our life together. But if I have to flush your whee's for the rest of my life, I'm going to go insane.

I think that's okay. Yeah. Please flush the toilet. I will pay the extra. It's not a personal attack, is it? No. It's just personal preference. What you shouldn't do is go on Instagram and do an Instagram story and be like, look what my wife does in the toilet. Ew.

That's different. There's ways to approach it, isn't there? There is indeed. I thought we could ask, and it's a good place for people to get something off their chest if they do have something that's irking them about their partner. Oh, okay. Like what's the little thing. So instead of what I said, do go public with it.

So go public on the radio. Yeah, but we're not going to know who they are or who their partner is. We don't care about the repercussions either. No. so that's up to you guys but vent it to us this afternoon what is the little thing that irks you for me it's when my partner

dries her hands on my towel just be grateful you've now got a girlfriend who will wash her hands that's a good point actually I retract my comment I've got one you got one I've talked to my wife about this so I feel like I can talk about it on the radio she just dumps all of her shit on the kitchen bench like everything gets dumped on

kitchen bench and it just stays there and every day i get up and i clear the bench because i need the bench clear so that i can feel calm uh-huh and then she'll she'll have the audacity to say to me oh where did you put my stuff where did you put my knitting where did you put my magazine that i was reading i was using that i was like just i just put it away okay i put it away not on the kitchen bench where we prepare food it's yuck anyway other than that perfect angel so we want to know in your relationship. What's the gripe? Welcome to the show Sophie. Hi Sophie. Hi. This isn't a relationship one, but it's about your flat. Yes. So my flat mates seem to like leaving the lights on in every room when they're not in the room. How much is your electricity bill? It's hard to say

There's four of us, but it feels like a lot, and I think it's pointless leaving a light on. Obviously, if you're coming in and out of the room, that's fine, but if you're not actually in the room... Sophie, and do you feel the burden of being the flat mum? Like, you want to be fun and cool. You want to have a good time, just like everyone else. But they are forcing you to be the light police in this situation, aren't they? They are, but the awkward thing is that I'm the newest flatmate. So do you say anything or do you suffer in silence?

Other people haven't been able to handle it and they've left, Sophie? No, I haven't seen them then. I just turned them off. It's going to eat you alive, Sophie. Has anyone told you that you're turning into your dad, Sophie? No, but I'm probably turning into my mum. Yeah. I just remember my dad always, he'd come in.

Like, if we were sitting in a room and he'd come in and turn all the lights off that didn't need to be on. Yeah. Go. You paying for this? Like dramatically, eh? Yeah, yeah. Turn them off.

Oh, turn them off. Very good, Sophie. Let's go to Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Hi. You got a small, minor, little tiny gripe about your partner. Oh my God, there's just so many, but the one that's the one that's the really the most annoying to me is the drawers being left open and the cup is being left open.

So like the drawers, there's nothing sort of like a stair-like formation that I'm quite worried our toddler will climb. And then the doors, the cupboard, I have to go along closing like I'm the lady on the wheel of fortune. Yeah. Like we're talking about like small and significant things. I think you're well justified in that one. Your husband leaves. It's a safety. It must look like there's been an earthquake in your house after your partner has used the kitchen.

Yeah. Anonymous, anonymous, not to speak out of turn, but that is a classic trade of someone with ADHD. Has he been tested? Yeah. No, he hasn't, but I definitely think he's probably going to a little bit of that. A little bit of a touch of the ADHD. Don't get him diagnosed Anonymous because then that'll be his excuse. No, I can't help.

I can't. It was my ADHD. My brain doesn't allow me. Thanks, Anonymous. I complained about my wife leaving stuff on the bench. We've had a text that's come in that says My gripe is my husband moving my bench pile I think that could be your wife

Could well be my wife Do not give it a name Do not give it a name The bench pile is not a thing Okay I can't have it become a thing Someone else said my boyfriend P's sitting down

It's a mega ick He also calls Farts Whiz Pops Oh Can I say I'm all for the lads having a sit-down way. I think, you know, why are you so into it?

I just think it's unfair that that's toxic masculinity. Why can't they have a sit-down wee? What if they're tired in the morning? Like when you kind of just wake it up and you're like, oh, I'd love a sit-down way. The whiz-pop thing I can't get around. That's weird. All right.

Well, start a group. Someone said, my partner, after eight years, we are gay men, wears my favourite clothes. I'm six-foot. He's five-sixth. So he looks stupid. in my clothes anyway, but I've told him a hundred freaking times

not my favourite clothes, you, S-O-B. That's so spot on. I always thought the best part about being gay would be a shared wardrobe. My partner wears my hats. Drives me bonkers. Oh, my wife wears my hats.

And she makes them smaller for her tiny little lady hair. Same, because that's how I know that she's worn them. The biggest thing that I hate is she wears my good hats to, like, mow the lawn or go walking, and then then they get sweaty. You don't wear the good hats.

Does she wear your train driver hats? No, she knows not to touch those. No one's touching those. Someone said, My partner always mixes up the sugar coffee tea containers and always spills the sugar. Buzzy. My husband leaves food uncovered in the fridge and it all dries out.

Was your husband raised by wolves? That one would really... Who doesn't cover food in the fridge? That's yuck. Does he think that elves just come and cover up the food? That's irked me and I'm not even living in your household. Who's raw dogging the fridge? That's so off.

All the stuff from the fridge just goes into the food. That's yuck. Not my partner, but my flatmate leaves his clothes and piles in the bathroom after his showers. Nah, that's criminal from a flatmate. Yeah, not cool. That's flatmeeting type stuff. Someone else said might irk about my partner and my son. They don't rinse their dishes after using them.

It makes it harder to clean when it comes to doing the dishes. Yeah, that's annoying That's the bare minimum The rinse Yeah Like if you're not washing the dishes Like rinse your plate Well I hope everybody feels better

I think I feel worse Do you? Are you more worked up? Might go do a whiz pop Feel better And a sit down way Sit down way and a whiz pop And I'll be back to normal

ZDN's brainclin The T Live from LA with D McCarthy MacChy Mac makeup, are they still cool? I don't know what's cool in the makeup world. Is Mac still cool? I think there's a lot more options, but yeah, they're still up there.

Back in 2012, it was the makeup, right? To go and get your makeup done it, Mac was all the girls talked about. It was the tippity top when Kylie Jenner wore that Mac lipstick. It's sold out around the world. Lord wore the really dark, purply one. Lord was in there too, yeah, the dark purple. Well, they're at it again. They're trying to get big.

Well, they are big. I'm not trying to talk down to them. They've got a new global ambassador on board. Ooh, who have they got? Which is what you do when you want to appeal to a new audience, right? Mm-hmm. They've selected Chappell Rhone as the global ambassador for Mac Cosmetics. Great choice.

Which is a great option because she uses so much makeup. Yeah, like that is a part of her. Even if she doesn't sell any, the amount of product they'll be able to use on her face will be out the gate. Are you trying to make funny jokes? You know a whole shawl? is that she puts on like drag makeup. Is it?

Because she plays like a, for her, Chapel Rhone as a character. Yeah, I was trying to be funny. Okay, yeah. I was, yeah. Ready, go again. I'll react how you want to me to react. It's good that they got Chable Rhone

because, man, she wears a lot of makeup. Shit, you're funny. She said that the partnership with Mac feels full circle. She said, the brand has always made space for me. They have embraced art, drag and self-expression. I've built a special relationship with the Mac team over the years and they've been amazing, thoughtful collaborators in this new journey

and they're paying me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I was going to say, they must be paying her a fortune. But good on her. I'm sure it is a very lucrative deal. Also, an artist like Chabell Rhone is surely a year away from releasing her own line of makeup. You reckon? Maybe. Maybe. They all do it these days, don't they?

Well, she should. She wears enough. Am I cancelled yet? That's a T, Brea and Clint. Have you heard about the mystery Christchurch hum? I have not heard about this. How long's it been going on? I hadn't heard about it either, but I read about it today for the first time.

In certain parts of Christchurch, there's this. frequency, constant hum, vibration sound that seems to rise out of the ground, mostly at night. It's in the news today, but apparently it's not new, and it's been happening in Christchurch for years, and no one knows what the mystery hum is. What in the world? I need to know. Yeah.

Some people who are sensitive to sound said it keeps them awake at night. People have moved house to get away from the mystery hum because it's driving them mental. Is it worse in some areas than others? So it's been heard, this is what I've read today, it's been heard in New Brighton out by the beach and then in surrounding suburbs up to 10 kilometres away from New Brighton.

So a fairly big area. But New Brighton is the main. The main area. No, not necessarily. No one knows where the main area is. They haven't pinpointed it. The council, journalists and residents have all tried to track down the mystery hum, but no one knows what's causing it. They haven't been able to find someone that's drilling, some kind of pump, some sort of like heavy machinery that operates in the evenings, nothing.

There's just this hum that people are hearing and it's driving people in Christchish. That's creepy, man. Mental. It's real creepy. It's real creepy. I reckon it obviously sounds like it's in the ground. Someone's just texted in and said it's in the east side of Christchurch, which is still a pretty messed up from the earthquakes, they said.

And I guess you would be like, is it tectonic plates? Is it something like that down there? Someone texted in and said it could be a volcano. Okay, look, Christchurch doesn't need a volcano. That's the last thing that Christch needs. It's not say it's a volcano. Especially under that new state. stadium that they've almost finished.

Don't even suggest that, okay? It's not that. But the noise would drive you mental. And if even the scientists and the council can't figure out what it is, it's real stranger things type stuff. I wonder if certain people can hear it and others can't. Or like, you know how, like, kids' ears are different to adult ears?

Yeah. And, like, dogs' ears are different to, you know? Like, I wonder if... Or young people, yeah, yeah, even, like, young adults who can hear that high-frequency noise that older adults can't. I went to a restaurant recently and there was this high-pitched noise

and me and my brother were like man that is ear piercing what is that? And I said to the server I said what is that noise and he goes oh it's our bird deterrer Can you hear that? I was like yeah it's really quite an awful noise

He goes oh we use it to keep the pigeons off the outdoor seating area I was like well it sounds awful Can you turn it off and he's like Yeah yeah we'll just turn it off Could he hear it? Obviously not. Weird.

I was talking to my mum literally just before I got to work today and I was like, what are you up to? And she goes, oh, I'm just at Bunnings I'm buying a Christmas present. Yeah. And I was like, oh, what are you buying? She goes, oh, I'm buying these snake deterrence.

You put them in the ground and they cause like a vibration, like hum almost and it's meant to keep the snakes away. And I wonder if some people can hear that. Yeah. But then you go, what other animals can hear it that are being kept away kind of thing? We're getting texts about the mystery Christchurch noise. Someone said, we can hear it all the way out in Ranghi Orra.

Someone else said, about the hum. I'm east and hear nothing. Okay, well, that's good. That's good. Maybe not everybody can hear it. Someone said, I'm so glad you're talking about the hum. I'm 36-year-old female. I live in Halswell.

It drives me nuts, but my partner can't hear it. Weird. Oh, that would drive you even more crazy. If you were lying there awake and they can't even hear the noise that's driving you crazy. You can't hear that? That's some real sci-fi shit. And is it that females can hear it and males can't? Someone's got to look into it.

Someone's got to start investing. We need to start just pouring money into this. Yeah, yeah. If the government's listening. We need to get Calvin Crookshank from sensing murder onto it. He just survived a heart attack. I'll give him a break then. We'll get Deb Weber from sensing murder onto it.

Yeah. Yeah. Have we got any other psychics? Have we got any other famous psychics in the country? Or is that it? Could we get the wizard on it? The Christchurch wizard. Maybe it is the wizard.

And he's understudy. Maybe it's like a revenge thing from the wizard because they stopped paying him. I want to talk about mystery noises this afternoon. The mystery noise that nearly drove you insane. There was a story last year about a big new apartment building in downtown Auckland. And a bunch of the residents were being driven crazy by a knocking noise that was coming through their walls every night. Oh, no. It was like donk, don't, don't, like an irregular knocking noise at certain times.

Did they get to the bottom of it? Yes, it was a resident who had purchased a knocking machine online and fixed it to the wall of the apartment to send it through the structure of the apartment just to mess with other people in the apartment building. It was intentional. Is that a true story? That's a true story. Look it up. It's called a knocking machine. Yep. It's a true story.

That's outrageous. That person needs to be studied. I remember one stagdo that we went on All the guys that slept in the lounge Were driven insane by a mystery beeping noise They like got up They like unplugged the oven They took the washing machine plug out of the wall

And they could not sleep with this beeping noise I got up in the morning I went into the kitchen And they'd left the fridge door open Oh Duh Just slightly a jar Duh

That similar thing Similar story It was a bunch of I was on a softball trip and we were staying at this hotel and there was like three of us in this room and we were like what is that noise it was just like a beep yeah yeah we could not figure it out anyway some of the other girls in our team was staying in the apartment next door one of them had left their hair straightener on and eventually once a hair straightener has been left

on for too long it just go beep beep beep like turn me off just turn it off just turn it off just turn yourself off yeah i know if you can beep just turn yourself off your dumb hair straighter The ZM Podcast Network. We're talking about the Christchurch mystery noise, which has actually made quite a few people in Christchurch happy that it's being talked about because they've been hearing it for a long time and it's driving them crazy,

or they hear it and their partner doesn't hear it, and that drives them even more crazy. Someone said the Christchurch hum is terrible. There's a whole world of people who hear it, and there is international research going on looking into it. Look it up, guys. God, the people with the hearing aids and the cochlear implants are just laughing.

Yeah, just turn them off. Turn it off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's giving lost a little bit. Remember that TV show, Lost? Seems a little bit like that. Anyway, we asked, what is the mystery noise that nearly drove you insane?

And Rachel has called through. Hi, Rach. Hi, Rach. Hi, Rach. Good, thank you, mate. What was the mystery noise that drove your nuts? Well, first of all, I'm in Christch, and I have not heard the humming sound.

Okay. It doesn't exist. I'm just saying, I haven't heard it. Okay, good. Count yourself lucky, Rach. But I did hear a noise in my car, and so we bought a new car, and it was making a weird rafting noise every time we'd go over 100Ks or up the hill,

but I was the only one that ever heard it. Okay. And so I was like, winding the window down and saying to my partner and my kids, like, can you hear that sound? And they're like, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. We've been a mechanic. They're like, well, we can look into it for you.

And so they held on it for about a week, and it turns out it was just a faulty part, and I wasn't going insane. They did hear it. Oh, vindicated. Thank God. Vindicated, Rach. Yeah. Imagine if they'd come back and they're like,

there's nothing wrong. There's nothing here. There's absolutely nothing. I'd sell the car. I'd get rid of it. You'd have to. Otherwise, it would drive you insane. Yep.

Absolutely. Okay, that's a happy ending, Rach. Thank you. Someone said there's a hum and Todanga that they've been hearing for months, but no one else can hear it. Oh, God, I'd hate to be the first person to hear the hum and have to build the community around me

of people who hear the hum, you know? That's what the TV show could be called. The hum. The hum. Someone said, guys, it sounds like tinnitus or tinnitus. Oh, that's where you have that condition in your eardrum. Yeah. You'd hate that, though, if you were certain there was a hum and people like, oh, it's probably you're...

But there's multiple people saying that they hear it. Yeah, but multiple people can have tinnitus, can't they? Yeah, I feel like if we're talking about it and it's become like a thing. Tinitus, tinnitus? Tinnitus. Tinnitus. Tinnitus. Tinnia. Different. Yeah.

Someone said, my uncle has a pacemaker and I can hear it as clear as day everywhere we go. You can hear pacemakers? Wow. What does it sound like? I thought a pacemaker just shocked your heart back into rhythm when it got too fast or too slow. So you must be able to hear it doing that. But is it shocking his heart that much? I don't know enough about pacemakers, but I thought it was like a,

I feel like pacemakers work quite often Like it's not just like every now and then You know how I feel for Is the partners of people who have CPAP machines Sleep apnea masks Because if you've got the mask If you've got the mask, you're asleep Yeah

If you're the partner of the person with the mask Although you're not sleeping Although you're probably welcome reprieve from their snoring You know? You'd have to have a separate room Yeah Someone said guys The Mystery Hum in Christchurch

Is the brown grass grubbe or hatching and coming out at night. That's terrifying. Yuck. Do you guys have cicadas here? A lot of cicadas? Yeah, summertime. Cicators, cicada time.

Holy smokes. In Australia, like where I'm from. Everything's bigger and louder in Australia. The cicadas are deafening. Like, deafening. And have you ever seen one up close? Yeah. Awful looking creature.

Yeah, yeah. Awful. This is my category, guys. I had a noise in my ear for two years. On and off. It sounded like an. Owl, hooting. Countless checkups, no answers.

One day, it was hooting, and then boom, all of a sudden, it stopped and never came back. And they never found out what it was? I'd live in fear of the hoot coming back. You'd always be on edge. Topuki's got a hum, apparently. What about this one? I heard a very annoying hum and vibration at my work for weeks. Then I discovered that my deskmate had a secret fridge in her cupboard.

That's so funny. Hell yeah. Then she cuts you in. She's like, don't tell anyone about the goddamn fridge. You can put your diet coax in here. Don't tell anyone. How about this text, guys?

I have misophonia so I can hear everything and certain sounds create a flight or fight response. Anyway, one night I'm in bed and I can suddenly hear this high-pitched squeaking sound and I'm like, what the F is that? I searched high and low, and then I found myself with my ear against the ranch slider listening to the sound of a snail on the other side sliding down the grass.

The slime, the slime from the snail was creating a noise. I shit you not. That snail got sent on a little flight. What's misophonia? I need to know more about that. Misophonia, M-I-S-O-P-H-O-N-I-A. Is that when you have like superhuman hearing? Sounds like it, yeah.

That's wild. What about this one? Because we were talking about cicadas before. Yeah, yeah. This person said, if I'm around cicadas going off, it makes me talk with a lisp. Cicators make you talk with a lisp? Like if they're going off,

like if they're making their buzzing noise. Cute. So you're like, guys, can you hear the thaketives? Where did the thaketathe around here? Oh my God, a cicathe season. Hey, guys, can you hear the thaketathe? I'm so excited. The thaketives are back.

It's pretty cute. Someone else said, when I was pregnant, I could hear my phone charging. Screw that. Superhuman. Screw that. You can't get your phone charging? Give me the Thiccada Lisp any day. I'll take the Thaketa Lisp. It's ZM's Bree and Clint Podcast.

When was it? A couple of weeks ago, I came to you guys with the idea of putting together an original Brie and Clint Christmas song. Yeah, to fill the gap in the market of a not enough new Christmas song. songs coming out. I saw that gap in the market and I thought we could fill that. There's an opportunity here for us and over the last couple of weeks no one has done diddly squat about the Christmas song. Hey. We've all kind of forgot about it. Let's be real. Hey no, we crowdsourced the topics. That was like two weeks ago. And then I said I think it should be country and you said no. I said that's not the vibe. So that's not the vibe.

Okay. Yeah, no, we haven't done a lot. Well, I wanted to retract that because I feel like I've done quite a lot in the last 24 hours because I thought I can't let this opportunity pass me by. I promise the people a Christmas song. I need to get the ball rolling on this and I feel like if I put in the work up front, you guys will then jump on the back and we'll all ride it into the sunset. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So my original idea is that I wanted to make a D&B Christmas song. And because you haven't been here, because you haven't been here because it doesn't exist. Name a DMB Christmas song. True. Fair. You know? Even bigger gap in the market. I feel like DMB, big in New Zealand. The Carewees

love it. It is. You're right. So, because you weren't here, I've taken creative control and we have gone down the DMB route. Okay. I'm very interested to see what you've done with this. Look, I don't want to say that it might be one of the greatest Christmas songs ever. But you already have? but I will say it might be up there. Hey, I haven't even heard it but I think you would be safe to say it could be the greatest drum and bass Christmas song ever.

Because it might be the only one. Yeah, exactly right. You ask for a little sneak peek. I know it's not ready yet. It's not ready. But it's been so long and we've been teasing this for so long I feel like we need a little bit.

Do we have 10 seconds loaded? We do. So this is, I just want to preface this with saying it's not finished, it's not polished. This is the lead. in to the chorus just before the drop. Okay. But you don't get the drop.

Right, okay. And it's the chorus in the drop, or is the drop the chorus? So it gets to the top. Is this the chorus or the pre-chorus? This is the pre-chorus. Pre-chorus. Pre-chorus, okay. Okay, is everyone ready?

More than ready. Okay. Here we go. Brian Clint's Christmas song, not finished yet, but it's a start. Prickles in the grass, gas bottles empty again. If you hear, has been. in the peat, come on, come on, everyone, shake your tinkle tits. Whoa!

Do my ears deceive me, or did I just hear the lyric, come on, everyone, shake your tinsletits? It might be the main part of the song. Wow. I am, I think I'm naming the song. Tinsletit. Shake your tinsletits. If your gear has been in the pants

Come on, come on, everyone, shake your tickle kids Wow Does it make you want more? I mean, I'm DJing at the races tonight And I feel like I need it I feel like I need it. Mate, you wait till you hear the rest of it. It just...

Is this Sam? What's that? Our producer Sam. Sam and I have been cooking this up together. Okay, I'm excited. When do you reckon we get it? Early next week. She's like, early 2026.

I'm aiming for Wednesday next week. Yeah. No promises. Maybe even Tuesday. Okay. Early reviews, 9-6-9-6. We'd love to hear your thoughts. I mean, obviously it's too late to change anything.

Yeah. If you got any feedback, we'd love to hear. I was not too late to change stuff. That part there's locked in. Okay, cool. I am really settled on the tinsel tits part, so you can't change my mind. Great. Okay.

This morning, I got woken up in an awful way. Isn't that the worst? It's the worst. The absolute worst because it starts your day. Yeah. So this morning, it was about 5 a.m. And I woke up. And I kind of was a bit confused.

I was like, why am I awake? Because it was obviously still dark. Yeah. And then all of a sudden I realized that I was super. super itchy in all these different places on my body. Okay. And I was kind of like lying there and then all I could hear, it was completely quiet except for...

And it was a mosquito flying around my head. Uh, yeah. And so I get up eventually and I realize that a mosquito has bitten me like seven times. Wow. All over my arms, all over my hands. It bit me so much. woke me up. You're a human mosquito buffet.

Do you reckon it was just one? I reckon it was one mosquito and just kept coming back for more. I reckon it died from how much blood it got from me. Or you've just had a spray tan done. Maybe it died from fake tan. I have not. I have not had a spray tan. That mosquito is like, this is gradual tanning moisturiser.

Thank you very much. It's oh natural. Yes, that is an unfortunate way to wake up. Awful way to wake up. I had one on Monday night. I woke up with a double leg cramp. both legs at the same time and in my dream

I got cramp at the gym and I was like oh this is awful and then I was like oh god it's not it's like when you dream that you're going toilet in a dream

but actually you're wetting the bed when it was the last time that happened to you oh no I just hear that it can happen mm-hmm mm-hmm and the smoke alarm is another terrible way to wake up

good way to move it along smoke alarm's a shocker yeah producers you got woke it up in a bad way. My brother woke me up once literally just by touching me on the forehead and it gave me such a fright that the first thing I did was burst into tears. The last time I was quite hung over and fell asleep on the couch,

my kids came running into the lounge and they went, wake up, Dad! You deserve that. And my wife was like, he deserves that. Yeah. Get him again. She's like not even trying to hold them back. She's like, go, kids, go.

Go get him. What about you, producer Ella? You've been woken up in a bad way. Well, you get up at like 10 a.m. Don't you? Yeah, I do. I mean, no. 738.

If we're being real. I don't know. I just feel like when you've got jet lag and you have to wake up to like... Okay, she can't contribute. She can't relate. What do you mean?

She's never said an alarm in her life. No. Do you set an alarm? No. No. Oh, wow. What a life. Yeah.

It's when we do breakfast shows that I sit an alarm and I die. Yeah. No, you can't contribute. Is that a baguette in the corner? What? Yes. Can you focus?

Can you focus? What the hell? I haven't taken my riddle in today. There is a baggett behind Ella for those. Can I have some? Can you focus? Sorry. From the late show.

Yeah, that's a way I would like to be woken up. I hate waking up to a barking dog. I hate waking up to a vomiting cat. Vomiting cat's the worst. A message from Clint's the worst. You hate waking up to a message from Clint. Sorry that I missage you at half past nine some morning. Let me sleep.

Someone texts through and said my dad once woke me up by Rick rolling me at max volume. It was on my Alexa. When I turned it off, he'd turned it right back on. He thought it was hilarious. I disagree.

Nah, that's funny, ad. That's a funny way to wake someone up. That is very funny. Someone said, guys, how about a toy being thrown at your head by a toddler? I remember. Yep, not ideal.

we go. Yeah, try and contribute. We were camping and I was asleep and my little sister put her pinky up my nose and it gave me a blood nose. Okay, yeah, I'll take it. That was bad. That was not very nice. The one time Ella's been working up. Yeah, not good. My husband knows, stay away. The worst that ever happened to me as a kid, my cat, Calicoe used to sleep in my bed

with me and my mum would always leave the door ajar so she could get out, you know, whenever she wanted to and this one night I think the wind blew the door closed and so I woke up to a cat pissing on my bed Oh Wow My room never smelt the same after that

That's right It was awesome It was ripe Oh 800 dial I don't feel so bad about my one now What's the worst way You've ever been woken up? What's your worst memory

of being woken up? What is the worst waking up you've had? Never use the toilet in a dream, guys. That's all I can say. Play Z-Eams, Bree and Clend. What was the awful way you got woken up? God, there are some stories coming through. Someone said, I get woken up at 5am every night by my flatmate's new dog.

I'm moving out this weekend. Jeez. 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. every night. That's the worst. Someone said, my 14-year-old son woke me up at 5.5. 5 a.m. earlier this year with a massively swollen testicle. He needed emergency surgery for a 900 degree torsion. Oh!

It had gone around 900 degrees. It had gone around three times. Yeah, that's a bit, that's very, very twisty. We want to know your worst wake-up story. Let's go to Jess. I know 800 dials at him. Hi, Jess. Hi, Jess.

What was it? So it was about 14 years ago now. I woke up when, well, it was middle of the night. to my cat swishing her tail back and forth over my face and I discovered she'd shatten my hands and it was just incredibly

lucky that I didn't react the same way that the night before I'd had a daddy long legs crawling across my face and I slapped myself and tore it off and it was just incredibly lucky that I didn't react the same way to her tail If the cat's tail was tickling your face, the natural reaction is to rub your face. Swish it away, yeah.

It's just incredibly lucky. How evil is that cat, that it knew that's how you would react, and it did a shit in your hand and then tickled your face. That cat's trolling you, Jess. Yeah, no, evil personified. Yeah. Have you still got it? No.

No. Jess is like I got... It wasn't because of that. No, sure it wasn't Jesse. That's okay, we won't tell. That cat went to a big farm upstate. Kelly's here. Hi, Kelly.

Hi, Kelly. Hi, guys. How are you? We're good. You woke your brother up. Yeah, I did. So I'm not much of a sleep worker, but this time I always sleep walking, and I just walked up to him, punched him in the face. How long ago?

How long ago was this, Kelly? Oh, gosh. We were like kids, so it must have been, I believe, like 15 years ago. You can come clean now, then. the truth, Kelly. You weren't sleepwalking. Yeah, and then no, I really was. And then he punched me back and I just started screaming.

Because you're asleep. Yeah. And, well, they just say you're not meant to wake up a sleepwalkers. You're not meant to punch a sleeping person either, so tip for tat, I guess. You've both, to be fair, you've both punched each other while you're asleep. I didn't believe a word she said. I reckon

she had it out for her brother. From the start. She was like, I'm going to go say I'm sleep walking out. Yeah, yeah. She should have been faster with her defense. That's her problem. Angels here. Hi, Angel.

Hi, Angel. Oh, hi. Tell us, Angel. What's your worst wake-up story? Oh, so I was having this dream one night that someone was brushing my hair, which I like having my hair brush. I was like having my hair brush. Which was horrifying.

That is awful. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, yuck. How old was your son? Only about two. It was a few years ago now. Oh, no. What do you do? Did you get up and have a shower? Yeah, I got up and ran to the shower. Better than if he was brushing your teeth with the toilet brush?

Yeah. Lucky it was just my hair. Yeah, you'll take the hair brush over the... Well, it's just your hair that you know. You could have been asleep for the rest of it. That's true. Yeah, well, the dream was quite long in my hair being brushed. So, who knows. Angel. God, how good mother's... motherhood, eh?

Great. It's beautiful. All the joys. I woke up to the smell of dog fart, but it wasn't dog fart. It was dog runny poo all through the room. Ew. Yuck.

Oh. Someone else said, I woke up to my toddler standing over me saying, I feel sick, then vomiting on my face. I woke up to a mouse in my bed under my pyjama shirt after my sister's cat brought it into my bed. It was inside your

pajama shirt That's so yuck Someone else said I was in hospital With a broken back And I got woken up by a very senior gentleman That had just had a hip replacement Having a piss next to my bed

All over my bag Fun times And you've got a broken back Yeah what are you You just have to watch The old guy piss on your stuff What can you do Someone said

I just heard a story about two brothers being woken up by a shark bumping into their small boat out at Great Barrier Island two weeks ago. Whoa. That's scary. Yeah. Verascara. Someone else said, I woke up to my daughter opening my eyelids. She's five.

I can just picture a five-year-old doing that. The cat poo in the hand is my favourite. And then the face tickle from the cat. Sinister. Just shows what cats are capable of, you know? Lots going on their heads. Like how smart and evil they can be. ZDN's Bree and Clint podcast.

And I was like, you've got me. Yeah. I want to read this. It says here that there's been previous research done that found that 52% of women started acting like their mothers when as young as 33. Wow, okay. Yeah, as younger than I thought. So mirroring some of their habits and preferences they had.

Yeah, from 33. Can I just say, if you are lucky enough to have a great mother, what a privilege to turn into such a wonderful woman. How delightful. And if you don't have a good relationship with your mum, that sucks. It sucks, man, when you hear yourself saying things that she used to. to say. You're like, oh no, I'm becoming her.

I'll do anything I can to avoid this. But we both have great mums. Yes, we do. This could be great news. This could be good. So let's go through some of the things on the list. It says here, you never go anywhere without a coat. Is that you?

That's me. But I feel like that's responsible. Oh, that's one for you. I feel like that's not me yet. Really? You grow up. I'm getting there. I'm getting there, but it's not quite there yet.

You don't know any of the celebrities or musicians that the youths are talking about Oh, I'd have to check in with our producers How are we on that one? Are we still in touch with the youths? Do we know what the... You guys are pretty current and in? I feel like...

I can get a pass on there. Oh God, that did not make us sound of current or in. Yeah, yeah. But we know Edison, Ray, we're good. I feel like with our job... Yeah. It's definitely a leg up. Not us.

Okay. You use some of your mum's... philosophical sayings. Oh. I don't think my mum's particularly philosophical. I feel like I definitely do this from time to time. Yeah? Yeah.

Okay. What will be will be. That's one. You know? Stuff like that. That's one for you, yeah. You collect plastic containers and bags. Yes.

Yes. They might come in handy. You don't know. They're not making any more plastic bags. our mums would say and the last one on the list signs you're turning into your mum you tell yourself you have food at home

I definitely do this well in this economy in this economy everyone is turning into their mother they've been forced to by the interest rates I saw this article today on the Herald which is from a doctor

and he has talked about the science backed schedule for the best day The healthiest day, the best way you can structure your day, according to science. No arguments. If it's getting up at 4 a.m., no. It's not. Okay, good. Which you'll be glad to hear.

Good. I'd like everybody in on this because we have conflicting schedules as a team, to put it lightly. Is that fair to say? We have different ways of approaching our daily routines. Some of us like to get up and attack the day. I like how you were there. Different routines, Clint. Some of us like to lie in bed and rot on a weekday.

I'm not rotting. I take a while. Wild to wake up. So here is how you should be living your day, according to science, okay? 7 a.m. Waking up in the morning. Outdoor exercise, then shower. What?

At 7 a.m. Outdoors. Walk the dog, go for a run. Did you write this? No. Are you doing that? I do mine at 6 a.m. Oh, my laddie, darling.

Nah, I like to, I'm not awake enough at that time in the morning to get enough out of the exercise. I'm not interested in your opinion. I'm just giving you the fact. I'm awake at that time. I'm just not wanting to exercise. 8 a.m. High fibre breakfast, high protein breakfast and coffee. Okay.

I don't have breakfast. 8.30 to 9 a.m. Work commute or settling if you work from home. That doesn't work for us though. Claudia. Don't be so selfish. This is the ideal way to live your life, okay, according to a doctor and science. Nine to noon, no distractions.

Do your work. Oh my gosh. This is, this is, this is the block of time where you are most productive every day. The time, I'm live. What about morning tea? They said turn your phone over so you don't get any notifications. Don't get distracted, no scrolling. Nine until 12.

What about my morning poo? Lock in. I watch big brother usually in the morning. Lock in. When's time for that? 12 o'clock, eat with a friend, family member or colleague if you can and take a 15 to 30 minute walk in your lunch break. Okay. One to four, work, but also do some dilly-dallying on your life.

admin as well. Is that what it says? It says you're not that productive in the afternoon. So you should work, but also if you have jobs to do, like if you've got to go to the post office or whatever, one to four. In the afternoon. That's when you do it. Okay. 5.30? Dinner. What? 530 dinner?

530 dinner. What are you a toddler? We're on air. Science says you should be eating within an 8 to 10 hour window a day. You should only be eating between for 8 to 10 hours a day. So if your first meal is at 730, your last meal should be at 5.30. Well, what if I, my first meal's at 10 o'clock? Good to go.

Well, then you're living your life wrong, according to science. I don't like it. 8pm, minimise screens, dim lights in your house. No more screen time after 8. What are you supposed to do? I watch Tilly. Same. Then your bedtime begins.

Oh, here we go. Avoid alcohol. No vigorous exercise. I can get behind that. Nine. Nah, that's my time to shine. I see now. I quite like this.

Yeah, I quite like this now. 9 p.m. take a warm bath. What the hell? Or slip on some cozy socks to start regulating your body temperature. I don't have a bath in my house. So what am I meant to do? I'm just telling you what the ideal is. You want me to wash in the bloody sink?

Because I'll get in there if it's the ideal way. 10 o'clock? Lights out, lights out, 10 o'clock. Both the TV's still on. No, TV is not on. But, like, lights out, but TV on. No, TV on. No, lights out.

No, sleep mask on. Go to sleep. Lights out, but scrolling. You honestly suck. I hate that. All right, guys. I'm off home to go run myself a nice warm sink. You're behind schedule, Bree.

You're behind schedule, Bree. I'm at this dinner time. Play ZDM's Brea and Clint on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
