Show requested, so here it is. As long as you've got da-da-da-da. It's ZDem's Breanclin podcast. Zedem's Breanclint, KFC's Zinger, Stinger is back. Grab yours for just 1499. Go, let's go. I think I met you in a dream last one. Zatem's Breanclint.

Blavonaka, everybody, and welcome to the Breanclint show this wonderful Tuesday afternoon. We are Breelis again today. She is off for the. rest of the week. But the rest of the crew are here. Hello, everybody. Hi.

I'm usually Breelis by the time I get home, too. Yeah, we're Breelis and Bralus. You know what I mean? Nice. Me too. We've got a very excited ZDM office at the moment counting down to this Taylor Swift thing, mysterious countdown on her website,

which is pointing to 12 minutes past four. We're going to go live at 12 minutes past four. We'll come on at 10 past four so we can reveal it the second that it comes out. Really? This is the dream job. We still don't know what it is? Probably a new album, I'm hoping. Everyone thinks it's a new album, right?

T.S.12. Yeah. Do we think it's going to come out at 12 minutes past four? Oh my gosh, if it did, that's crazy. If it is, we have to go home. That's baller, right? Taylor Swift doesn't need to do an album. No, she doesn't. She doesn't need to do a...

We're going to have to throw the whole show out if she does that. She doesn't need an album campaign, right? No. She can just do it. And also, artists only release albums on Fridays. What's today? So it'd be very badass. It'd be very badass to then go and do it on a Tuesday. You know what?

You know what, I'm, I'm effing Taylor Swift. Honestly, my theory is though, when Taylor Swift has had a gap of music, this is when other artists should be, like, posting your music. Would we call it a gap? Didn't she have an album like 18 months ago? That's a long time. I mean, this is the longest gap we've had in a couple of years. Wow, okay, well, 12 minutes past four, all will be revealed live on ZM. We'll also play Secret Sound at 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock today.

Those guesses are coming in thick and fast. Remember you can send us a guess via the IHeart Radio app on the talkback feature if you search up ZDM a guess like this one. I am so certain that the secret sound is the very old school retro cameras when you wind them up

and then the sound is the shutter of the camera when it clicks after you've wind it up. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I can kind of hear it. I can kind of hear that if you're the first one to submit a correct guess on the IHeart radio app. There's $1,000 for you. And today, if you guess it on here, $10,000. Bloody goods.

Let's get into a round of Trady versus Lady next, where the ladies took it out yesterday, didn't they, Claude? I think it was a Lady win. I think we're looking at 67 ladies, 60 Trades. Play Z-Eames, Bree and Clint. It's Trady versus Ladies. Three, two, one. Let's go.

No, Bree. She's off this week, so I'll run the show. Our scores for the year, the tradies are on 60. The ladies are on 67, picking up another win yesterday. Our lady today is from Auckland. She's 26, and she has won three spicy eating competitions. Welcome to the show, Tasha. Hello.

What are we eating, Tasha? Are you going straight for the Carolina Reaper Chili's, or is it like a spicy curry type situation? Yeah, definitely the Reaper. You've done that. I eat it for fun with food. I did that once for a radio thing, and I felt like I was going to die. I felt like that episode of The Simpsons where Homer eats the chili, the gumbo, and he goes insane. Yep, yep.

I do it for fun, so I just got to get in there and do it. You'll build of different stuff. Okay, you're taking on our Trady today, who will be intimidated by that. That was actually good from you. They are calling from Taranaki. It's a father and son duo. Please welcome to the show, Hamish and Carter. Hi, guys.

Hi, cream. Yeah, no, a little bit intimidated without eating chilies for fun. Yeah, what's the spiciest thing you reckon you could handle Hamish? A mild butter chicken. Me too. Yeah. Kiwi, kiwi hot. Kiwi hot, hot, ha, da, ha, da.

What number of stars are hotels usually rated out of? Lady. Tasha. Is it five? It's five. Five. You get the odd six-star hotel, but I feel like that's a bit of a scam. Faw.

Hanish. Tough star. Yep. We don't want a down-trow. You don't want a down-trow. You've got to at least get on the board, yeah? You've got to show Carter what you can do. All right, come on.

What do we got? Music question. Buzzin. Oh, no. Yeah, no. you can get this one. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.

Lady? Hamish. Will Smith. There he is. It's not going to be a down trow. Question number four. Who invented the telephone? Curveball.

Anyone know who invented the telephone? Can I guess? Yeah, you can have a guess. You've got to buzz in. Lady Tasha Is it Alexander someone It is but

where people are revealing why they did or didn't take their partner's last name when they got married Yeah, for a single person I'm getting a lot of like couple content and the one that's coming up at the moment Is that real salt in the wound type situation?

rubbing it in a little bit The one that's coming up a lot at the moment is like the title is are you excited to take his surname and it's the reasons why and why not for example this one says are you excited to take his last name

and it shows his name, his name is Harvey Willie and her name is Millie Waters and she said no because I will be Millie Willie or if they hyphenate she'd be Millie Willie Willey Waters. Just match works. That's so a wabby!

There's also this one like Are you excited to have his last name? So her name is Brooke Marshall and his name is Jake Horniebrook. No, that is not a last name. You're kidding. You know what? This is a real green flag, red flag, test if you get together with a man

with an objectively bad last name that's okay. The test is whether he thinks in any world you would opt to take that last name. He's willing to give it up. He's like, well if we got married, obviously you'd take my name. Yeah, you've got to understand. Your name's Rinklebottom.

Who is it? Honestly, I would be a wrinkle bottom. You'd be a wrinkle bottom? Claudia Rinklebotton. Well, actually, no good point. Shout out to all our wrinkle bottom. Is that actually last night? No, you're kidding. It will be.

It will be. My favourite one of these that I came across. So her name is Becca Taylor. And his name is Matthew Swift. So they have to hyphenate so that she becomes Becker Taylor Swift. Oh, that's the dream. If you give up that opportunity, like what a waste. You're presenting this gift.

Oh, you reckon you do it. You reckon you do it. I reckon it would get old. No, you do it. It's your name. It's not a joke. It's not a joke. You're right.

I'm serious. It's like how Taylor Lawtoner married Taylor Lawtoner. Yes. She wasn't Taylor Lawtoner. She was Taylor something else. She could have kept her name, but she took Launtner. She did it for the joke. Taylor Taylor.

And if Taylor Loatner and Taylor Swift had got married. Yeah. And he took her name. He could have been Taylor Swift. Yeah, he could be Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift. What could have been. We want to talk to people this afternoon who either did or didn't take their partner's last name for a funny reason. Okay.

I get the idea of doing. it because you're like, oh no, I like my name, I want to keep it, that's different. If there was a funny reason why you chose to take their name, to abandon your last name, or to, I don't know, to reject their last name, I think a lot about one of my best friends whose last name is Gooch. Oh. Yeah, and I did not expect his partner to take the last name. But I just checked on Facebook the other day, it looks like she's taking it.

No way. She's Mrs. Gooch. Yeah, she's up the gooch. One of the worst ones I've heard Hey, he's one of my Hey, only I make fun of my friends Shout out to all the Gucci The Guccis are a fine family

Thank you very much 0800 dial ZEDM Text your story into 9696 of whether you did or didn't take their last name for a funny reason We're asking you the question Did you or did you not take your partner's last name For a funny reason

and there are lots of funny ones coming through on this topic. Like the person who said, my great-aunt Muriel became Muriel, Muriel, when she got married. If your name is Muriel, you don't take the last name Muriel. Or at least you didn't, I guess back then you had to take it. So you just don't date a man whose last name is Muriel. What if your wife happened to have the last name Clinton? I feel like you would be...

My wife. Yeah. And then you could take her name. I feel like you would have been stoked with that. No, that would be the dumbest thing to do. No, you would have loved. that. No, she should take, she should take my last name in that situation to at least cancel out one of the Clintons. But you'd love to be Clinton, Clinton. Otherwise, she'd be Lucy Clinton, wife of Clinton. No, it doesn't work.

Muriel, Muriel, when she got married, that would have been Muriel's wedding. My husband's last name was Cochran, and my name is Harry. I did not take it. If you get that one, you get that one. We're not going to explain that. at 3 o'clock. I'm a Smith and my family's maiden name is Black. We're contemplating to Smith Black just to piss people off. I love that one.

But you could have gone with Darren is here. Hi, Darren. Hi, Darren. What did we do? Did you take the last name? Or did you avoid the last name for a funny reason? I took the last name. Okay, what's the name? The name is Brain. Brain? So I'm now, yeah, like the

brain. So I'm now Dr. Brain. Oh, wow, that's good, Dr. Brain. Yeah. And I've heard all the jokes. You were already a doctor before marriage? Yes, yeah, I was. Brain, just so we clear, brain like Pinky and the. Yeah.

Wow. Dr. Brain, I'd trust Dr. Brain. Wait, are you a brain doctor? No. That'd be the ultimate, right? That would have been really good. Very good. Thank you, Dr. Brain.

We appreciate it. Someone said I didn't take his last name because I don't like his mom. that's savage and I wonder if you told him and I wonder if he told her and I wonder if everyone knows or you just told us if you did thank you for trusting us with your secret I chose to take my ex-husband's name

I became Angela Angel because it's lovely and you know what it is that is lovely double angel we got divorced and I've kept the name that's your prerogative absolutely my fear this is a little blue

this one's a little blue but I feel like if we say it quickly, we can get away with it. My fiancé said she won't take my last name. It's Moorcock. She won't take. My auntie's last name is Park, and she married a guy with the last name King. So their name together is Parking.

His parents were worse, this is Mr. King, because they gave him the middle name Joe. Oh, you're joking. Joe King. Yeah, Joe Parking. doesn't really work. Joe King is good. There you go. Lots of reasons to take and not take your partner's last name. Do whatever you

want. Bree's of the opinion I remember this because we've talked about a similar topic before. She's of the opinion that you can make up your own name when you get married. Oh true. You don't have to take either of them. You don't have to take either name. You can change your... You could be a wrinkle bottom if you want. You can be a wrinkle bottom. You can be puddle duck if you want

to. Oh, that's really cute. You guys can go what do we want our family to be called? Damn it. And create your own story. I know missed opportunity, Ella. I had known that. Rinklebottom would have been it. You could be wrinklebottom puddle duck. Oh, I love it. ZD.N's Branklin. Our producer Ella had, how would you describe it?

An unhappy experience at the vet today? Yeah. Oh, it was fine. Do you know what? I'm growing up and I think if people aren't what I expect them to be, it's not my fault. Or it is your fault for expecting too much of them. Exactly. So I'm just going in with a chiller vibe.

However, I did go to the vet. I'm fostering cats. I had to drop them off to get there, snip, snip. And I was just... Do you have to pay for that? No. No. Now, that's all the organisation.

But this is your second batch of neuterings you've done in the last month. I'm so close to keeping one. You should get a stamp card. It's like the 12th neutering is free or something. Anyway, sorry, yeah. So you take the cats in. Yeah, and I don't know why, but unintentionally, or without realizing it, I think I just expect all vet nurses to be super lovely.

because animals are endearing, their scientific evidence that they improve your mental health. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah. And I'm sorry to this lady, but she wasn't the most welcoming person.

Mm-hmm. And she didn't do anything. It's just she wasn't... Just a vibe. Yeah, she wasn't overly welcoming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In her defense, she could have just put down

a whole family of puppies. You don't know. Oh, my gosh. She could have had something awful happen in her day, you know? We don't know. You don't know what's going on in someone's life, but I understand what you mean. Every vet I have met has been one of the most wonderful people I've ever met.

And I know, like, it got me thinking into like there's kind of the stereotype of certain jobs that people have and then the outside society expects them to be a certain way. So off the stereotype, you can say you expect vets to be warm and welcoming? Yes. Yep, fair. I've got some other jobs for you. You give me the vibe. You guys give me the vibe you expect.

Um, nurse. Kind. Kind, gentle. They obviously like helping people. Yes. But again, they could have had a shit day too. You never know. Dentist.

Creepy. Creepy. Yeah, don't think about these. Tell me what comes to your mind straight away. Creepy. I just don't love teeth. Who would want to like play with teeth all day? It freaks me out.

And they're also really chatty for having people that can't. Chat back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like a doctor, but more fetishy. Yeah. I just want to do the math. Um, police officer. Strong.

Serious. Serious. Brave. But sometimes, authoritative. That's the vibe I expect from my police officers. Sometimes real down to earth though. Because I never want a police officer where I'm like, help, help, there's a problem. What should be doing?

I don't know. I don't know. What do you think we should do? What do you want for dinner? Mechanic. I'm scared of mechanics. It could go either way. Sexy or like.

Every mechanic I've ever met has been so lovely, but I'm scared of them. Okay. So you expect them to be intimidating. Because they're so smart about a niche that we know nothing about. Cars are not a niche. They are. They are. I do not know what it is.

Teachers. Authoritative, but usually either really mean or really nice. I think they want to make a difference in the world. Yeah. Selfless. Yeah. Teachers, eh? Most teachers.

Modern teachers. When I think back to my teachers, I'm like, ball breakers. No, I wasn't smacked. How old do you think I am? I don't know when that stopped. Barman. Sexy.

Flirty. Flirty. Mysterious. Yeah. And tired. Plummer. Buckcrack. Buckcrack.

That's the vibe. Yeah. I was going to say inappropriate. Yeah. But they're like, oh, I'll come over look at your pipes. Love it. Lock up your pipes. Oh, loose.

And librarian. Sexy. Sexy. Yeah. Harry Potter. Okay. Well, if your job, was in there.

Sorry. Or you're welcome. Especially the butt crack plumbers. ZAM's Bree and Clint podcast. Right now, though, a classic game of Let's Get Classical, although not classic, because classic would be Bree and I versus Ella. And today is not that because Bree's away. It's just you, V, me, Ella.

Go on J.B. They'll sort us out. The ZD.M. Podcast Network. Now, a new segment which we're launching today, it's called Brooke Explains. Ooh. It's all official in one-night. Brooke explains. Each day this week I'm going to set Brooke a new topic that I don't fully understand for her to research and explain to the general populace as well. And today I want to talk about Labuboos because, boy, I'm seeing a lot of Labuboos.

What is your understanding of the Labibu? Nothing? Creepy doll. Yeah. Maybe like a modern version of a troll doll. Okay. Do you remember the troll doll? No. They had the fluorescent hair that stuck out the top of them.

They were all plastic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So start from the start, for those who don't know, what is a Lubbubu? A Labubu is an artist who actually designed them as illustrations and made books on them. Yeah. Called the monster. The artist's name is Kassing Lang. Yeah.

And then they went from, I think, they teamed up with Pop Mart, who you know, Pop Mart. They did the pop vinals? Potentially. Is that they... You see them in the mall? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They teamed up with Pop Mart and made a real-life version of one of his drawings. Thus, the Labubu was born.

Okay. How much do Labubu's cost? Because I see them hanging off the side of Louis Vuitton bags, which cost $4,000. Yes. So you're not dangling a cheap piece of crap off there, are you? No, but some people are. This libubu that I'm holding, which would be your average labubu, around $60. Okay.

Yeah? Yeah. That's around $60. It's a lot of money for a doll, but still that's more affordable than I thought. It's funny because I remember Kim Kardashian saying you wouldn't put a bumper sticker on a Bentley and she's hung a Labubu on a Louis Vuitton bag as well. So it doesn't really add up. But they can, the bigger Labubos, they can go for thousands.

And the limited edition coloured ones, they can go for like 15. 15 grand? Yeah, yeah, big bucks. How do you get a limited edition color one? A blind box, which was part of the addiction, which was part of the craze, other than the celebrities that we saw Rihanna Dula Leeper wearing these Laboos. Blind boxing, where you get a box and there's six or so. characters and you're going, I want this one

specifically, oh, I'm going to shut my eyes, which one did I get? Oh, I didn't get the one that I wanted. So you buy the box for a set price and you might get a lububu that's worth tens of thousands? Yes, I believe there is a male equivalent with like a gaming, like you can do this on games where you're like

a blind box of a weapon and it might be worth quite a bit, so this is the kind of female version of that but feels more realistic. Oh, can boys not have a labobo? Boys can definitely, anyone can have a laboobo. I've seen really, really young people have a libubu. Do you have a libubu? I do not have a labubu, but I have a friend who got a libubu before libubu's were big. So I'm friends with an OG libubuer. Oh, okay. And is that their

claim to fame? That's their claim to fame. That's their whole personality. They were cool. I like them before they were cool. Yeah, I like them before they were cool. Okay, how do you get one? If you're listening to this and you go, okay, I get it now, I think I want one. How do I get a libubu? You would probably go to a pop mart or I would suggest looking on Facebook marketplace because it's that consumption thing. People are probably sick of their labubu by now or they've brought new one. Yeah. They've upgraded their Labibu.

So there might be a few flowing around on Facebook marketplace. There will be. Are there Ali Express and Timu Lububis? That touches on the Lafufu.

Which is... I'm not touching on anybody's Lafufu. Normally we don't. The Lafufu is like the Timu knockoff. And what you'd see on the website is a Labubu and it comes and it's like a piece of paper Labibu.

Really? That's the like Lafufu. Yeah, yeah. So you scam yourself essentially. Oh yeah. If you're paying under $20 for a Labibu, babe, that's a

a lo-foo-foo. That's not a l'a-boo-boo. Well, that was very informative. Thank you very much. Brooke, there's our first inaugural episode of Brooke Explains. Brooke explains. If you have any topics, anywhere in the zeitgeist that you don't understand, text them into 9-6-96. We can set Brooke on it to try and explain them. It's Z.M's Bree and Clint podcast. Claudia was talking to me today about nicknames that she hates.

Is this a recent thing? Did someone drop this nickname on you? It's been throughout my entire... It's a work thing. It's not my entire life, it's my entire career. And it's just a real pet peeve of mine. Okay, you don't like this nickname in the workplace. I don't like it used for me personally.

Oh, okay. Do you use it for others? Never. Okay. I would never. I really get miffed. When people go, hey gal. That is so silly.

Hey gal. And I'm like, you don't know me like that. It's friendly. Okay, okay, let's drill into it. You don't want... gal in a professional sense? Honestly, even if in my personal life of someone Hey gal'd me.

What if you're getting added to a group chat about a hens do? And they're like, hey gal, it's $120 each. Collective gals? That includes the stripper. Oh, okay. If there's a stripper involved, you can call me gal. Okay. That's good.

But corporate speak, you'd rather that than hey gal. Yeah. Even if I get lumped in at work with a, like there's two girls in the email. So they go, hey gals. I feel like gals love a gal. And it's exclusively gals dropping gals. on the gals. There's no guy dropping a gal on a gal, is there? Historically, all the people that have hey, galed me have been the mean girls,

and I find it really patronising. There it is. We got to the core of it. It feels like I'm being bullied. We got to the core of it. I listened to a podcast today where one of the guys says, you can't call me brother until we have been through the trenches together. He goes, we need to have done some shit together before you can hey brother man. You've got to earn it.

You've got to earn brother. Maybe it's the same with gal. Is there any for you, Ella, that you don't like? Crazy vegan. Yeah, come here. I didn't like Child Bride, to be honest. Child Bride. I hated that.

These are not nicknames. There's a slurs. I was like, I am 24. I am not a child. I'm a grown-up. Yeah, I'm big girl. No, yeah, I think it's that with a passag of like, are you going to do this thing? Guys hate a champ.

Come straight out. Guys hate champ. Sport. I don't love boss. Oh, it's just the patronising element. Yeah. Hate him, boss. You're going good, boss.

Do you... What can we... Buddy is up there. What's the nickname? It's not even a nickname. It's just like, what do you call it? The term of not endearment. The endearment.

The term of resentment. How do you hate being greeted is what we want? They're going to put a really quick list together. So text them into 9-6-96. Or if you feel particularly passionate about it, why don't you call 0-800 dial Zat-M gal and I'll get you on. Oh, oh. A-oh. A ZM's Brinklin podcast.

We're just trying to whip up this list of nicknames or names or greetings that you hate on the back of Claudia railing against gal. She does not want to be, she does not want to be greeted as a gal. No, don't call me gal. Hey gal, no, don't be mean to me. So we've asked, and boy, this has triggered some people. Yeah, we really hit a nerve here. I hate being called chick. Me too.

Hey, chick. Oh, I hate it. That's girl on girl too. It's not good. Guys might refer to. a group of girls as chicks. I don't like that either. No, I know, but there's no malice in it.

But someone to call you Czech singular, I feel like that's girl on girl. I feel, oh. Don't make it kidding. I saw that's what you meant. I hate being called Dear by anyone under the age of 65. Hello, dear. Hi, dear.

Sweetie, do we like that? Isn't that one nice? Isn't Deer nice? If it's an old person, that's cute. This one Claudia hates too. I hate Hon with the O. not hun hon That is exactly what I said too

Hun it's marginal it's fine But hon I hate being called queen Yes queen Yes queen go off queen About hating queen I hate being called chickadee Who's calling you chickadee?

I love all of these What about I hate the term mate We are not mates We do not know each other Do not like it Mate is an interesting one Because mate can be used Hey mate

With grace or malice You don't want to be Old mate, though. What's going on here, mate? Old mate down there. Bro. I hate being called the C word. Yep, fair enough.

That's valid. What else called? I can't even keep up with these. I'm Catherine, and I hate any shortening on my name. People just assume it's okay to call me Kath or Kathy, and I hate it so much. I'm not 90 years old. What about Cat? Cat's kind of cool.

My middle name is Catherine, and I was like, if anyone ever decided that Kathy was a name associated to me, I'm like, that's not, it's not my name. It's Catherine. They give different vibes. Very different. I hate. Babe or Hun by anyone other than my partner. Can you guys imagine if I started calling you Babe?

Hey babe. Hey babe, can you get me the... Well, are you okay? You're all good mate. Hey, hon, gives me multi-level marketing scheme vibes. It does. Yeah, that's fair. But what do we?

What's the solution then? Just use people's full names, government names only. But I want to... That's my way. It's a good point. It's a good point because guys have bro. We have bro. I can start any text with, hey, bro.

we have man Hey bro Hey man What's up Dude What do girls have Well all of this But it turns out

Not everyone likes it Can you use sis Oh that's debatable You'd have to be close to me to call me Cis Hey sis Just use my name I had a huge fight with someone

At Spark Who kept calling me MAM Oh you would They put me on hold Yeah That doesn't make I'm gonna put you on hold

MAM until you calm down Okay Don't you dare put me on holds Don't you maim me I feel like you just need to know, like, specific nicknames for specific people. Guys, I've got dude as well. It's so...

You can call me dude if you want. Okay, dude. All right, bro. All right. I'd rather get duded than honed. All right, brah. Play ZDems, Bree and Clint. It's a Tuesday, which means we're going looking for a name in a haystack.

Thanks for the BVs. Of course. Breeze away. Breeze away. Usually she would do those. And this has been our mission for the last. Just, oh, 35 weeks. That's a long time.

It's a long time. The idea is we randomly generate a name and we randomly generate a business. And if a person with that name answers the phone at that business, today they're going to win $1,700. It goes up and up and up and up. And it has never been won. This segment has never been successful. And I think that's why I like it so much.

I'm scared about the day that it happens. Like, we're not going to be ready for it. So if it happens today, Bree will have done 35 weeks with us and will not be present for the payoff. So that's the thing. When someone is away, you kind of don't want it to go. Because I want everyone to be here. I don't know what I want anymore.

But I do, what I do one is a name? And who's giving that this week? Me! Ella, what is our name? I'm going for this type of energy, a Carly. Carly. Yeah. Coli.

Random. Do you know any Carly's, Claudia? Yeah, I know one Carly. Carly Binding. Lovely lady. Oh, two Carle's. Yeah. I Carly, that's three Carleys. All right, and where does Carly work, Claudia?

Hopefully Carly is at reception at Hampton Downs Go-Carts. I love the Hampton Downs Go-Carts. I did a stag do there the other week. It was so good. And if Carly's going to work anywhere. That's very good. I'll tell you what, when we went there, there were several women that worked there. Okay.

Which is a positive of us. Do you remember any names? No. Because I could change one. I barely remember your name. Claudia, please connect us to the Hampton Downs go-karting track. We're today, if Carly answers, she'll win $1,700. Good afternoon, Hampton Downs.

You'll speak with Stacey. Oh, my God. Hi, Stacey. It's Brian Clint calling from ZM radio station. How are you? I'm good, thank you. How are you? Good.

We were hoping, we play this game could name in a haystack, where we call these random places. And today, if your name had been Carly, you would have won $1,700 cash. My name can be Carly. I know it could be Carly. My name could be Bob McShlobunob for $1,700. You know, I could be anything you want,

but it doesn't work like that, unfortunately. So wait, is this live on the radio now? Yeah, yeah, we're on the radio. Oh, wow. Anything you want, anyone you want to shout out to? Come on down to Hampton Motorsport Park Hell yeah That's what I've just been saying

I said we did a stag do there And it was excellent Oh wow you've got to come on back down It's a great great place Just checking There's not a Carly that works there There is no Carley However I could be a Carle

Yeah yeah There's no Carl No no Carl No it's a fail this week Thank you Stacey We appreciate your time All right take care Sweet as, see you later.

Bop-b-b-b-w-womp-wom. Wamp-it. I feel like those names are in the same realm. They have the same energy to me, Carly and Stacey. That's why I was so disappointed when she answered the phone. She sounded like a carly. Do you know what?

If we hit the year mark and we still haven't given it away, can we then ask, do they have siblings, a mother or father? Do they like the name? We start dilusing it. Please. Well, it will return next week when Brie returns. we'll go for $1,750 in Name and a Haystack. Here's a hypothetical question for you.

Is there an age where a man needs to stop wearing a backwards hat? Claude's shaking her head. I think you're wrong. And I say that as a man who still enjoys wearing a backwards hat. Convents us. At what age? Well, 30-ish. Hypothetical for you guys.

Is there an age where? a man can no longer wear a backwards hat. Do you age out of that? The reason I ask is I saw a clip from a podcast today. It's called Dad Pod, and two dads discussing when they as men need to stop turning their hat around backwards. Just have a listen to their thoughts,

and then we can discuss. If I'm 33 backwards hat, is that okay? Yes. 33 backwards hats. 33 with hair. With hair. Yes. 40.

Backwards hat. Hair? Yes. Fat? Chubby. No. No. No. You're so right about this, okay? You're a fool. That's as deep as they go on the parameters, but according to them, 40 with hair, fat, no. No. You can no longer wear a backwards hat. Which I don't know how I feel about that.

But, but, look, some people will say things like, oh, age is just a number and where whatever makes you happy. But there is an age. I know there's an age. And the reason I know is because if my dad, who is mid-year-old, 60s, showed up to my house and walked up the stairs with a backwards hat on, I would think he was having a mental breakdown. Really? Yeah. Do you think, though, that's just because of who your dad is? Because I'm imagining my dad, who's 65,

wearing a backwards hat. Cool. Does he surf? No. Has he got hair? Yes. Is he fat? No. Well, maybe that's what it is. It's an attitude thing. He's a cool guy. It could be an attitude thing because my mind went to Brad Pitt,

who's 61. Oh, I'm a man He could definitely do a backwards hat. He could do like a backwards trucker cap, couldn't he? And if people age out, do they then age back in? Because I feel like an 80 year old with a backwards hat, cool again. No, an 80 year old with a backwards hat is that Steve Bouchimi meme where he's got the skateboard and he says, hello fellow kids. Honestly, I've said it on here before and I'll say it again. A backwards hat on Ryan, my husband, hot A.F. Like super beautiful, love it. I'm great. I put my hat on backwards and Ella went, whore. I just wanted, like Clint, you look great right now. You've got a back of hat.

I've got my hat on backwards. You guys can't see it. My hat's on backwards. I'm still a backwards hat wearer. So this is not coming from a place of hate. No. This is coming from a place of hope. You decided you weren't a hat guy anymore and now you're back with a backwards hat.

Animal. Animal. Oh, that's what it is. It's the mullet, the moan in the backwards hat, which Ryan has two out of three of them. Is that the Holy Trinity? Yeah, you've got all three. You've got to work all the third. Backwards hat, mullet, mo.

Yeah, bag. What does it take a man up if it's out of 10? and does it take him up one point, two points? Oh, well, I'll put you down to five, and now you're a ten. You went up five points. Wow, you just insulted me and complimented me in one bread. I'm joking, you're a handsome fellow, Clint, but... He's clearly a six.

It makes it handsomer, if that's a word, if I may say so myself. The 80-year-olds, maybe not. I think it's cool. I love it. I think it's attitude, right? I'm very aware what you want kind of person, though, so don't come to me. It's just, it's just if you've never done a backwards hat, or cap

it can give midlife crisis have you had that experience where you're shopping and you're trying on something new e.g. like a hat style that you've never worn before and you just think people know that you've never done that before. Like when I wore that fluffy hat. That's confidence

you can tell when someone's not wearing something confidently. The text are pouring in on this. Someone said I'm 36. I've only just been a backwards hat guy for the last few years. Please do not take this away from me. Someone now said a backwards hat is work mode.

Yeah, that's what it is. Kind of like Crocs have got sports and safety mode. Definitely no backwards hat once you're out of your 20s. Oh, Clint, you're gone. You're out, mate. Wow. Nah, I can imagine 40, that's all good.

I think if you're showered, you look after yourself. It's a nice addition. Oh, we have to shower as well. You're asking a lot here. These are unachievable beauty standards you women are putting on us fellas. Wash yourself I put a hat on they can't tell your hair's greasy 966 if you've got to take a night

I think we've solved nothing Except that maybe It is wear what you want But but have the confidence to do so Don't listen to the haters No, don't nervously wear whatever you want Don't sit there in your boots shaking Yeah don't put one toe in

Yeah hard Alright birthday bang a next Spring cleanse All I want from my birthday birthday banger Welcome to birthday Banger where we find out the number one song on the day that you turned 16

and Holly is going to go first. Kura, Holly. Hello, how are you? Good. How's your day been? Yeah, not too bad. Lovely. Okay, let's do your birthday banger, Holly. What's your date of birth? The 19th of September,

1936. All right, Holly, you were 16 in the year 2012 and on the 19th of September 2012 this was number one. Huge banger from Guy Sebastian and Lupe Fiesco. Do you like it, Holly? Yeah, the one is not too bad. Yeah.

Reminds me of playing our Friday Oakey's to Guy Sebastian last week. Major cringe for us and him, I think. But it's a good song. Wait there, we're going to do Stu's birthday banger. Hi, Stu. Good, guys. How's the going? Good, mate.

How's your day been? Oh, you know, just another day, another dollar? Another day, another dollar. Are you on your way home? Yeah, just sitting in traffic in Wellington, just heading home now. Beautiful. All right, Stu, let's get you through Wellington traffic with your birthday banger. What's your day to birth?

The 15th of December, 1984. Okay, Stu. You were 16 in the new millennium, the year 2000, and on the 15th of December, this was number one. The Baha men and who let the dogs out? What do you reckon? Oh, yeah. I'll say that other guy Sebastian, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I, um, my daughter is six years old, and I DJed her school disco the other week. This song's true, I can tell you, still goes off at a school disco. Oh, 100%. I guarantee it. Yeah, they love it. Okay, wait there, we're going to do one more birthday banger for Sophia. They're doing their mum, Laura's birthday banger. Hi, Sophia.

Hi. How old are you, Sophia? I'm 12. 12. Okay, you can do birthday banger in 2029, but now we'll do Mum, Laura's. What's Laura's date of birth? The 27th of Jan. Yeah.

Do you know the year? 1994. Well done, Sophia. That means Mum was 16 in 2010. And on her birthday, this was number one. Our City Fireflies You weren't born But this was an absolute banger

When it came out, Sophia Do you know it? I don't I think you'll like it if we play it Just wait there We've got to decide between our city Lupé Fiasco Guy Sebastian and Bahamas The Millennial in me is learning towards fireflies

Yeah, that was my ringtone, you know? Was it? In 2010. Do you remember how much she paid for it? Oh, $1.29, I believe. Worth it. Oh, that's nothing. I think that's how much it was on those little button phones.

Really? But it was the money that you charged when you accidentally hit the internet. That was the problem. Oh, the Watt browser, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is the one. Sophia, you just won birthday banger for your mum. Well done. Yay, thank you.

You're very welcome. From the year 2010, here's our signature. Fireflies on ZM, Brian Clintz. You would not believe your eyes if 10 million fireflies. Zed-A-Branclint. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep because my dreams are bursting at the sea. El City, on ZM, Brinclin, that's a winner of birthday banger today for Sophia's

mum, Laura, from the year 2010. Zet-Ams, Brianclint. The story comes out every year But I feel like they have to put it out every year Because the amount of money will change Especially with the way things are going up in price At the moment Inflation and all that shit

So the list is It's the classic How much money do you need to earn To be happy And these lists always say It's less than you think You know They're like

You think you need to be a millionaire But actually the number that you need Less than you think But if I was a millionaire Yeah. It'd be pretty nice. What did that song say? Money can't buy me happiness,

but I sure am happy when I can buy what I want. Research is from the University of Otago. So this is a New Zealand study, okay? They have recently published research, which shows people are happier living a simple life. That's what they've said. They said take all the clap trap out of it, take all the fanciness out of it.

That's the key to happiness. So what's a simple life? Do they just describe that? Harris Hilton lived a simple life and she was a millionaire. Did she though? The simple life they're talking about is living within a community, not living beyond your means. And the example they used was if you live a simple life,

you would have a community of people who, if you needed a tool, you would borrow it off someone. Oh, I like that. Rather than I need a tool, I'm going to go to Bunnings and buy a new tool. You would have a community to lean on and they in turn would lean on you and there's a sense of fulfilment that comes from that.

Rich with friendship. Yeah. Like when you run out of eggs or milk or my guess tofu, you go to the neighbours. Yes. You go to the neighbours house for tofu. Can I be curious?

Hey, you guys got any tofu? No. The sign says no vegans. They said the research was clear that beyond a certain point having more money didn't reliably boost happiness but they also believe

there is a point. There's a point that you need to get to. which I find interesting because you know some of the happiest people I know live in a van by choice not out of necessity so how much is it do you guys want to guess gosh there's so many numbers going around

on my head I'm like thinking 90K 100K but then like 200's also quite nice Is it just for you or are you supporting a family It doesn't say Oh no it does it does it does sorry It's a household income Oh okay It's a household 100

It might be lower 200. According to the University of Otago, the annual salary required for peak happiness is $180,000. But split it across two people, 90? 90, which I mean... That's going to take me 10 years to get there. It's still nice. Yeah, yeah. The median household income in New Zealand last year, so that's the household income, whether you're a single, whether you're a couple. If you're a thruple, you guys need to work a bit harder if you're making this number, $122,000.

That's the median income in New Zealand for a household. So our median is below the happiness threshold. It's below. Our median is below the happiness threshold, which means happiness is in a minority in this country. By these numbers. According to our salaries. Well, that makes sense, like based on the mood.

I thought it was winter, but turns out. It's poverty. Z&M's Bree and Clint podcast. You guys have all seen the pub that's for sale in the Cadrona Valley near Wanaka. They're actually right near where Rhythm and Alps is, which we talked about today. It's the creamy coloured with the red riding Cadrona pub.

I feel like it was on a spate's ad back in the day. Oh, it would be perfect for that. And they got divorced and the wife took half the building. Do you remember that? That's a song. She took two thirds of the building and she left the bar behind. Like literally two thirds of the building. The physical building.

It was an ad. Oh. Yeah, yeah. I thought this was the legend of the Cadrona Hotel. I think it's part of the folklore of it. Anyway, it's for sale at the moment. It's 160 years old that pub. How much?

So it's so famous that they haven't used a real estate agent to sell this pub. They've just hucked it up on Trade Me. That's, yeah. And it's closing soon, and they said they have got plenty of interest, and it will sell. Yay. The rumours are it'll go for between $20 and $30 million. Oh, my goodness. New Zealand dollars.

Yeah. What? Oh, wow. It's a pub come hotel. So you can stay there And it's iconic It's like a tourist It's an icon

Attraction That's my dream Is to own that place Run it Live there You know What a lot of life We were just talking

Before about the simple life That's the simple life That I want But there's no way Like 20 to 30 million dollars It's not in the budget I'd have to win lotto And then blow it on a pub

That sounds fun That's a lot of work Having a pub and a hotel That's not only washing glasses, but also washing sheets. Yeah, sheets. There is another opportunity like that available at the moment, though, and you don't need millions of dollars for it. In fact, for this opportunity, they'll pay you. There's a small central Otago town called Ophir.

I think that's how you say it. O-P-H-I-R. Yeah, it would be. You'd be Ophia? O-F-A. Is it Greek? O-F-F-E-O-F-E. I don't know. It's 20 minutes inland from Alexandria.

and they're looking for a new postmaster. Yeah. That's a hot title too. They need someone to run the post office. The lady who has run the Ophir Post Office for the last 26 years is retiring and they've advertised the job. It's an old mining town. The post office building itself is 140 years old so it's been there almost as long as the Kidrona.

Ghosties in there. If you take the job, it's paying between $57,000 and $66,000, but you will, only work Monday to Friday 9 until 12. Sign me up. There's only a hundred people who live in Ophia. You wouldn't have much mail then. And they're not all getting mail every day. What are you going to do? I'm sorry.

And also this is like those Netflix shows where you know you move to a small town. You meet the love of your life. You spend the summer in a lake. Everyone comes in, I reckon everyone comes into the post office to get their mail and you know everyone by name. And then you're done with work by, would you say midday or three? Midday. nine it's three hours a day you go up for lunch every day

go up for lunch you're 15 hours a week 25 work week 25 hour work week wait no three hours a day right it's 15 hours

oh my gosh yeah you're right the first time oh my gosh amazing I'd do that I'd change my name I'd move there I'd change my name I'd become a completely different person

I'd create an entirely new back story wrinkle bottom I'd grow a beard yeah you'd call me Cliff wrinkle bottom do I need any qualifications to be be a postmaster?

I think you need to be able to read. I can read. And not have a criminal record. I don't have a publicly available one. Yeah, exactly right. Anyway, if you can Google it, Ophia, Ophir, O-P-H-I-R, you're looking for a postmaster-master-slash-mastress. The Z-M-P-Kodcast network. That is the end of the Bree and Clint Show.
