The ZM Podcast Network. ZM, Brie and Clint. Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show. G'day guys, happy Monday. The sun is shining, the vibes are good. We're on the home stretch to Christmas. To Christmas, to summer. How many days till Christmas? Off the top of my head, I'd have to say 40...

43? 42. Oh, shit, I was almost there. Oh, that would have been such a big win for me. That would have been, I would have rode that one. 47. The whole show, the whole show I would have just been going, remember when I knew how many days to Christmas

on the top of my head? Meanwhile, I've actually got a 60-day Advent calendar at home that I've just been opening the doors on every day. What I like to do is I get two Advent calendars and I tape them together. Do they make bigger Advent calendars? There might be a market for that. They should.

Make like a two-month Advent calendar. Why not go a 365-day Advent calendar? Yeah, a 12-month Advent calendar with a little prize in it every day just to keep you going. So it's on Boxing Day. I'm going to get a gin one. The gin ones look great. Have a little gin every day.

We talked about those. They're gin baubles, and you pour the gin out of them, and you drink the gin, and then you hang the bauble on your Christmas tree. Makes you feel like less of an alcoholic because you don't have 25 gin bottles in your recycling bin on Christmas Day. Well, you do, but you also have some nice Christmas baubles.

Yeah. So it's good. So it's easier to explain. Let's rip into it, shall we? A fresh round of tradie versus lady. Are those scores up to date? They are up to date. Ready to roll. 96 to the Tradies.

101 to the Ladies. If you want to play, give us a call now. 0800 dial ZM. The Tradies could draw even this week, but they'd have to win five in a row. It's time for Tradie vs Lady. It's Tradie vs Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

Yep, we like to test your general knowledge every day on this show, and we're keeping score. The Tradies on 96, the Ladies are out in front still on 101. I think my math is correct that if the Tradies win all five games this week, they will, for the first time this year, draw level with the Ladies on 101. Yeah, could do. But it's a big ask to win five in a row. It is a big ask to go five in a row, but it can be done.

Ladies first. From Southland, she's 23 and she loves dogs. She even has one. Welcome to the show, Paige. G'day, Paige. Hello. What kind of dog do you have and what's its name? I've got a staffie named Moose.

Oh, cute. Staffies are the best. You're taking on our tradie today from Taranaki. They're 25 and they are really excited for Christmas. It's only 42 days away. Welcome to the show, Liam. G'day, Liam. G'day.

a snake? Lady. Yes, Paige? Snake? That's incorrect. Liam? Dolphin. It's actually a turtle. I don't know if it's all turtles, but there's some turtles that do. Turtles are butt breathers.

Yeah. Wow. Does that mean they fart out their mouth? They could do. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, no points there for anyone. Question number three.

Yes, Liam. Silence. Silence. That's a good guess. Paige, you want to have a guess? No idea. Bit of a riddle. I promise.

I promise. Tricky to put a riddle in there. Sometimes I like to change it up. Question number five. We're still one apiece. Who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic? Was it Meryl Streep, Joan of Arc, or Amelia Earnhardt? Trady.

Well, I'm going to say Liam just got in. C, whatever her name was. Amelia Earnhardt, that's correct, yeah. He knows his history. Nice work. It's two to the tradies, one her name was. Amelia Earhart, that's correct, yeah. He knows his history. Nice work. It's two to the tradies, one to the ladies. You need this one page to stay in it. Question number seven.

Cheers. Cheers. Nice work, Liam. We'll get that $50 cash in out to you. Cheers. Thank you. Have the Tradies started the great comeback of 2023? Bree and Clint.

Zen and Bree and Clint, that's Paramore. They're here this weekend. Is it this weekend, Paramore? This weekend. It's going to be good. It's sold out.

I know, I'm gutted. It's going to be a great show. I always piss around with tickets, eh? I'm like, ah, I'm going to get some of those. No, you always hold out for free tickets.

Tell the truth. When was the last time you bought yourself tickets? When? I am planning on buying some tickets. To? Incubus in Christchurch next year. Well, there you go. Well, I can't go to Paramore because...

You didn't get free tickets. No, it's more complex than that. It's more complex than that. Okay. I got free tickets to see Coldplay in Perth this weekend. Listen to you. So I couldn't... It's lucky I didn't buy tickets to Paramore.

Isn't it? It's lucky I didn't buy them because now I have to go... I've got to bloody go all the way to Perth to see Coldplay. For free. For free. That you're not paying for. Yes. Oh, God.

I feel so bad for you. But yes. But that Paramore show is going to be excellent. It will be great. You are very lucky if you got tickets. It will be very, very good. I want to talk about this story that's going viral at the moment because a woman is being ripped out for her order at Subway.

Okay. The guy that was working there on that day said that her order was so weird that he needed to take a photo of it. Sure. And he's uploaded it and it's since gone viral and people are really, really like... How weird can a Subway order be? Well, this is the thing.

It's pretty standard. You should get him to strain the meatball sauce out, remove the meatballs, and then drizzle the sauce over the tuna. Look, I'm not... Who's getting tuna? Who's getting tuna? I've never have,

but God, I've been craving a tuna sandwich lately. Have you? Or a tuna melt. Have you ever had a tuna melt? Yeah, I have. Which I guess you could get at Subway. All right, you changed my mind. Anyway, tell me about this order.

So apparently on the Subway was not very many things. It was black olives, cheese and cucumber. That was it. Do we know what type of bread? It doesn't say. But I don't think it matters at this point. No, it doesn't. No.

But there's better and worse breads to have that on. Like if she got it on just the wholemeal. Wholemeal sucks. That's the saddest sandwich I've ever heard. You know, I hate to say it, but the rye also average. The white, good. But I always feel too guilty just getting straight white. Italian herbs.

Italian herbs and cheese. That's it. That's the only bread you should get. That's the green flag. You're taking someone on the first date to Subway. If they don't get Italian herbs and cheese, run. Some people are very particular about their orders, though. You know, they know exactly how they like to have their thing

and which way from which restaurant, and it goes for all of them. People have specific KFC orders. They can go anywhere. Like for me, like when I go to KFC, I have such a specific order now. Like over the years, it's developed more and more,

but I like a supercharged Zinger burger combo. What's supercharged? Oh, it's where you get like the supercharged sauce. Okay. Oh my God. I don't know about this. Oh, you're not a spice man. No, I'm a spice man.

Clint has pepper on his sandwich and he'll be like, this is too spicy. No, I enjoy a Zinger burger. That's about the extent of it though. Yeah, you got to get the sauce. And then I've got extra lettuce, extra mayo, and then I always get a coleslaw on the side. Okay. And then extra salt in my chips. Yeah, okay.

That's good. I'd be fine with that. If you came through my drive-thru with that order, that'd be fine. Okay. It's not like you've asked me to remove the chicken patty from the Zinger burger like this person at Subway. We should send someone over to order that

and find out how much it is. Yeah, that's interesting. It probably is a lot. How much is a Subway that just has cucumber and olives on it? And cheese. No sauce. How much is a Subway that just has cucumber and olives on it? And cheese. No sauce. How dry would that thing be? I thought we could ask people, because it's quite interesting,

if you've got a really intricate order from a place. It might be your coffee order. Yeah, like how intricate is your coffee order? And is it like super specific? I saw a person whose wife has a really, really specific Starbucks order. Okay. And what he has done is he's got her to just record it into his phone as a voice memo. And you know how in the States you can get drive-thru Starbucks?

Oh, and she just plays it. And he goes, look, hey, welcome to Starbucks. Can you order? And then he pushes play and his wife on his phone just goes, can I get a mocha frappuccino with extra grundy? That's smart. And then he turns up in the drive-thru and they're like, wait a second. Whoa, ladies voice, man.

Whoa, what? What's going on? Oh, $800 at M. Text us on 9696. We want to know how specific is your order. From anywhere. Food, coffee. Can be anything.

The way you like to have your spray tan applied. That is a big thing. Yeah. Yeah, I like to go butt cheeks tan applied. That is a big thing. Yeah. Yeah, I like to go butt cheeks and then... Inside the butt cheeks out. And then front cheeks. Butt cheeks and front cheeks. Yeah.

Down through the middle. Exactly. We're asking you if you've got a really specific order for something. Well, like a really weird order. Yeah, like... People hear it and they're like, ugh. They're like, why are you ordering that? It's just strange. Out of the

ordinary. A lady at Subway gets olives, cucumber and cheese. That's it. No sauce. I'm trying to think if it could be nice. No. Black olives. Black olives, cucumber. Really thinly sliced cucumber and cheese.

Where's the lubricant? There's no sauce. Where's the... I get three sauces when I go to Subway. I get my money's worth. Most people get their money's worth, eh? They're like, these flavours don't even go together, but just load that mother up.

Do you have to pay extra for more sauces? You get three for free, I think. Oh, do you? I think. That's pretty good. I think. You don't need more than three. Helen's here with her weird coffee order. Hi, Helen. free, I think. Oh, do you? I think. That's pretty good. I think. Yeah. You don't need more than three. Helen's here with her weird coffee order.

Hi, Helen. Sorry, Hayley. Hi, how's it going? We're good. Thanks, Hayley. What's your weird order? So I order a large soya flat white with two equal cinnamon on top, extra hot. A large soya with two equals flat white with cinnamon on top, extra hot.

Yes. Do you go back to the same place every time just so that you know that they know what you want? Or do you go to, like, when you go somewhere different, do they kind of look at you and be like, that's quite complicated? Uh-oh, weird coffee lady. Yeah, they do look at me like that. I've actually got one on an automatic BP. Smart. That's the do look at me like that. I've actually got one on an automatic BP. Smart. That's the way to do it.

That's the way to do it. To be honest, I think you've nailed it. Sounds like a good coffee order to me. No, it doesn't. It does. Extra hot soy milk. Yeah. What does soy milk go a bit gluggy? Trevor's here. G'day, Trevor.

Hi, Trev. Yeah, how are you going? Good, thanks. This is your grandson's order, is that right? That's correct. I have a wee grandson called Henry who's five. Okay. What does Henry get that's unusual?

Well, we went to Macca's on the weekends and I hadn't had him there before. And, you know, you do the tell-and-order thing and he's like, cheeseburger. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Right, but no onions, okay? Take out the onions. No pickles.

Okay. Okay, no pickles. All right. Yeah, no ketchup. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. And we'll have no patty.

What? Wait, the only thing that's left is cheese at this point and the two buns. Correct. And so you've got cheese between two buns. And the person beside me commented you could have made him a cheese sandwich at home. Yeah, exactly right.

The good thing is, though, Trev, as granddad, you're not in charge of his nutrition, you know? Like, if you were his dad, you'd have to be like, oh, I need to be getting some protein and some bloody, all this into you. You're granddad, you're fun food, you know? If he wants to have a cheeseburger that's just cheese, that's par for the course.

That sounds like not fun at all, though, to me. It's taken all the fun stuff off, and it's the most blandest burger ever. Did it look good, Trev, when he got it? He ate it. It looked totally dry to me, but he ate it all. It could have been as dry as anything.

Thanks, Trev. Someone texted and said, my stepdad had his first Subway this year. He ordered ham. Just ham. No one's ordering ham. Nothing else. I walked out. How weird. Can you imagine the people at Subway? They would have been like, what is this guy doing?

Just ham and bread. No sauce, no lettuce, nothing. Someone from Subway, I know someone said, my Subway order, white bread, just the meatball sauce, cheddar cheese. No meatballs, just the sauce. Just the sauce. They're cheese no meatballs just the sauce just the sauce they're just ladling out the sauce for you buzzy someone said i hate to be this person but it sounds like in my order sounds like a five-year-old's but i love a good chicken and cheese subway no sauce no veggie wait what type of chicken are we talking chicken fillet we talking

chicken teriyaki no it'll, it'll be the dry one. It'll be the chicken bits. What's that called? Chicken pieces. Yeah. Chicken bread. Because like chicken teriyaki and cheese on bread wouldn't be bad. Yeah, it's fine.

It'd be all right. It reminds me of my dad though. My dad is sauce phobic. He can't handle a sauce. So he'll go to a restaurant and he'll say, he'll order a burger and he'll go, no sauce. And they'll go, okay. And he'll go, no aioli. And they, he'll order a burger and he'll go, no sauce. And they'll go, okay. And he'll go, no aioli. And they're like, do you mean aioli?

He's like, yeah, yuck. Yeah, that. Okay. It's a very dry burger, so yeah, that's how I like it. Thank you. Not ideal. No mayonnaise. Someone texted through and they said, whenever I used to go out

to dinner with my brother-in-laws, we had a running joke of the most outrageous drinks we could get. Mine was a raspberry and Coke with more Coke than raspberry and three ice cubes. To this day, I still order it just for shits and gigs. More outrageous would be more raspberry than Coke, wouldn't it? Yeah. If it was three quarters raspberry with a dash of Coke.

Imagine, though, if someone goes, exactly three ice cubes. And I'll be counting. And I will count them. Brie will count them It's time for the latest From iHeartRadio This is the latest Live from LA with Dean McCarthy Dean the Swifties are going berserk over this She's changed a lyric at one of her live concerts

Talking about Travis Kelsey What's gone down? She's in Argentina performing and she changed the lyric to, Karma is the guy on the chiefs coming straight home to me. And as you can imagine, fans singing along, no one saw it coming, right? They've lost their mind. Travis has actually flown to Argentina. It was an off week for his team. And so he'd flown there or she'd flown him there actually on a chartered private jet

actually. That's what really happened. Anyway, he's there and then... Oh no, he's a big boy. He could have got his own flights. She wouldn't have chartered him a flight. She wouldn't have chartered him a flight. I think she's paid the bill. I think she's getting the bill. I don't know.

But anyway, so she's there. And at the end of the show, obviously, everyone's losing it. There's a camera on him when she sings that lyric. He obviously didn't know she was going to sing that. And he's quite, like, chuffed. And then at the end of the show, she runs off. And then there's people, like, spot her in the corner, giving him a big hug and a big embrace afterwards.

So they're very, very into each other. Very into it. Here's a little bit of it. This is the lyric as it went out on stage in Argentina. Yeah! I am obsessed. I love it. I just got goosies.

It's so exciting. I reckon they're really in love, Dean. Or it's the greatest publicity stunt in the world. Look, if she wasn't so famous, I could think it's a publicity stunt. She doesn't need a publicity stunt. No. She's sold out.

People were quitting their jobs just to try and get tickets online and stuff like that. She's so famous and successful that I with you, I would think it's PR but I think she's the one person in entertainment who probably doesn't need it. You should see the clip because someone's filming him when it happens.

I've seen it. And the look on his face where he just has the biggest grin on his face, it's very cute. Well, from those of us who are in a long-term relationship, can you guys get a room, please? They're so cute. Can I come to the room? You're way too in love with your new love relationship.

Can you tell me the number of the room and I will meet you there? That's the latest out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. Voting is officially closed for Bird of the Century. It closed yesterday. Did you get your vote in? Of course I did. Vote for your four birds. I've talked about it on this show a few times. I'm very, very passionate about

who I think should be Bird of the Year. Me too. Hold on to that thought though. There's only one. There's only one. We're in agreeance on that. Yep. You and I agree. We were supposed to have the winner of Bird of the Year today. It was meant to be announced today. But the winning bird is in coalition talks with David Seymour and Winston Peters.

They're counting up all the... The whole thing's being dragged out. They've got to count up all the votes from overseas. No, they had to delay the results because US television talk show host John Oliver launched a global campaign for the Pu Teke Teke, which has caused an influx of literally hundreds of thousands of votes. In a competition that usually gets 50,000 votes,

they've been overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of votes. So the whole competition has gotten way out of hand. So to help us make some kind of sense of this crazy situation, please welcome Bird of the Year spokesperson, Ellen Rikers. Hi, Ellen. Hi, Ellen. Kia ora, thanks for having me. What a shamozzle.

This has gone crazy, hasn't it, Ellen? It has been a very wild week in the Forest and Bird offices. I bet it has. Did the website actually shut down? Like, was it able to take on all these votes from around the world? What had some struggles was our voting verification system. So we

require all voters to verify their votes with a valid email. As you should. We managed to get that sorted just in time for John Oliver's appearance on Jimmy Fallon last week, which was, you know, seems another huge surge of votes our way. Can he cut it out? I know it's good publicity for Forrest and Bird,

but I feel like he's rigging the system. Yeah, he's taking it too far this time, Ellen. I feel like he's disproportionately used his influence on Bird of the Year. You must be getting a bit of that feedback. Definitely. There are some people who are a bit salty about it. And, you know, as he said it's a great American tradition for

you know American money and that nice HBO money to interfere in foreign elections Fair enough. Can we Alan, spokesperson for Bird of the Year can we talk about the Kiwi sized elephant in the room here and Bree and I are in agreeance on this

we're united. If the Kiwi does not win Bird of the Century in Aotearoa, New Zealand, home of the Kiwi and the Kiwis, this whole thing is a farce. I'm going to have to differ with you guys on that one. I think the Kiwi is a great candidate

and it definitely had a lot of big names backing it this year. But there are totally some other fantastic deserving candidates and we'll just have to see what... No, no, Alan. Wait a second, Alan. Wait a second, Alan. We're not talking about if it was Bird of the Year, fine, great.

It can be any other bird. Share it around. Share it around. We're happy for that. Everybody deserves some attention. We're talking about Bird of the Century here in New Zealand. You're saying that the Kiwi isn't up there for the top number one spot. Everything is named after the Kiwi.

We've got Kiwi Bank. We've got the rugby league team, the Kiwis. We've got, what else? Instant Kiwi scratchies. We've got, I mean, there's a million things. They're all going to have to rename their stuff if another bird wins. I mean, it's definitely a top contender for that title. But, hey, I mean, we have a kākāpō that went to worldwide fame

because of its shenanigans on a documentary. We have a bird that's come back from one single female, the black robin. There were only five left in the 1980s. The black robin! A kākāpō? More like a kākāpūpūkēs! Okay, Ellen, this is getting heatedapoo poo-poo cares.

Okay, Ellen, this is getting heated. We're pretty passionate, Ellen. You can see why this has gone global. And I mean, this is great publicity for forest and bird and all conservation within this country. So it's serving its purpose. We understand that. But you're here talking with us. Voting is closed.

Can you give us the inside word on what the top three, top four birds are? Just tell us the key ways in the running for this. What I can say is that when we did the voting poll, an interim poll just before John Oliver, the Kiwi was in the top three. So it's really, the title is up for anyone. Ellen, I'm going to play you a sound right now and tell me this is not the most soothing,

beautiful bird call you have ever heard. I mean, that sounds like a winner to me. That is a winner. That's the sound of a winner. That's the sound of a whingy, whiny kiwi. You're talking to some of them right now on the radio and that's the sound that the bird makes. Do the right thing, Ellen, okay? When these

results come out on Wednesday, we need you to do the right thing. Do the right thing, Ellen, okay? When these results come out on Wednesday, we need you to do the right thing. Do the right thing, Ellen. We will ensure the integrity of our bird democracy and go with what the people vote for. God, she's good. She would do well in Parliament. She could be the next Prime Minister. Ellen Rikers, you've

stood out on slot excellently and we can't wait to find out that the Kiwi is the rightful bird of the century this Wednesday. Thank you so much. Thank you. We just got one last thing to say from the Kiwi. Please

vote for me. It's crazy how you can make out what it's saying. I know, it's so distinctive. People in the UK have been polled. They've been asked, what are the most common food items on the dinner table for Christmas? Oh, yeah.

What has every Brit got on their table? Surely a turkey. I've seen that episode of Mr Bean, you know, where he gets the turkey stuck on his head? Yeah, I love that episode. He was British, so I feel like that's historically accurate. Super common in America too. I feel like even like probably more common in the States.

Turkey? Turkey. Yeah. Or is that Thanksgiving? I think it's both. Where does the ham come from? Because surely one is one person's tradition. Because you don't only have a ham and a turkey.

We do in our house some years. Do you? Yeah. We always have two, like either a, you know. Okay. Like a roast chicken and a piece of pork or. Okay. Well, what are the Brits into?

So the Brits. Candied yams. No, I think that's American as well. I've never had a candied yam. Delicious. Or a pumpkin pie. So yum. Both.

Very good. But the most common things that these people said that are on every table at Christmas in the UK, mince pies. Fruit mince pies? Yes. Fruit mince. Fruit mince pies.

Christmas puddings. Pigs in blankets. What is a pig in a blanket? It's bacon wrapped around something. I thought a pig in a blanket was a sausage and bread. No. Claudia at the research desk, can you please Google what a pig in a blanket is for us?

I'll confirm, but I'm pretty sure it's a sausage wrapped in bacon. Yeah, that's what I thought. Sausage wrapped in bacon. Roast potatoes. Yum. On every table in the UK for Christmas. Yum. Roast chicken or roast beef. Yeah. Roast potatoes. Yum. On every table in the UK for Christmas. Yum. Roast chicken or roast beef. Yeah. Roast turkey.

Oof. In Brussels sprouts. Okay. Yeah. Winter over there. Winter for their Christmas. Yeah, you've got to think it's cold. Controversial.

I could take or leave a turkey. It's just a dry chicken. I'd rather a lasagna. Yeah, yeah. This is something that took me a while to get used to with you. I'd rather a lasagna. Yeah, yeah. This is something that took me a while to get used to with you. You need to get on board. The Christmas lasagna. We always have a Christmas lasagna.

That is the one common thing. How big is the Christmas lasagna? Enormous. Is it a multi-dish lasagna or is it one dish? Have you got one dish that's big enough to do the whole family? One dish, but it's huge. Oh, and now my partner's, my partner's, no, my brother's fiancé, she's gluten-free, so there's now two lasagnas.

Oh, Christ. It's a lot of work. She'd have her own lasagna. She's got her own bloody lasagna. Because none of your Italian family will want to touch the gluten-free lasagna. Yeah, I'm thinking of faking some sort of, like, thing so I get my own lasagna. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm allergic to something that's not.

Oh, everything's good in it. Yeah, so you've got to pick something bad. I can't say dairy because I'll miss out on the bechamel. Bechamel. Say you're allergic to, what sort of dish do they cook it in? Is it like a glass dish? Say you're allergic to glass. Okay.

Yeah, I've got an allergy to glass dishes. Yeah, I need my cooking foil. Can we confirm what a peg in a blanket is? Yeah, sausage wrapped in bacon. Yeah. I've got an analogy to glass dishes. Yeah, I need my cooking foil. Can we confirm what a pig in a blanket is? Yeah. Sausage wrapped in bacon. Yum. It's a lot of meat. How weird when you think about it.

It's meat on meat. Yeah. Also, where's the pig? The pig is the blanket. Correct. What is... Maybe it's a pork sausage. What is it when you get celery and you put the peanut butter through it and then you

put like little sultanas? Like ants on a log or something. I thought that was a pig in a blanket. Ants on a log? I think it's an American thing. Yum. It's yum. Sounds yuck.

Well, except for the sultanas. Can we just get rid of sultanas altogether? Why? What's wrong with the sultanas? I'll take the sultana over the celery. They ruin everything. They ruin apple turnovers. They ruin fruitcake.

Yeah. Our Christmas, pretty stock standard, turkey or ham. Turkey or ham. And then all the usuals, the roast potatoes. Yes. Mum does a good trifle. Mum's trifle would be a Christmas tradition. Can I?

Yeah, I mean trifle, very common, isn't it? Yeah. Kiwi Christmas, got to have the trifle. Yeah, and my mother-in-law's Christmas cake't it? Yeah. Kiwi Christmas, got to have the trifle. Yeah, and my mother-in-law's Christmas cake that only me and my father-in-law eat, and she keeps topping it up with brandy to keep it moist. And you get drunk. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, we're the only ones who eat it. Can I ask, so your family is a roast potato family on Christmas. Yeah. I would argue a lot of Kiwi homes do a potato bake for Christmas. Really? Quite a potato bake for Christmas. Really? Quite a common, or no. How many Kiwi homes have you been in on Christmas? A couple.

Okay. I've had a couple of Kiwi Christmases. Yeah. In Australia, if you don't have prawns, you're not doing it right. Christmas prawns.

Someone said, I'm a British-born Kiwi. We have to have Yorkshire pudding and potato bake for Christmas. There you go. Potato bake for the win. Must be an eaten mess. Someone else said, Christmas isn't Christmas in our family without KFC in the park. Oh, I know so many families that go for the default KFC Christmas and I rate it. No dishes, no prep, no fuss.

There's no stress. Yeah. You know? We should give away KFC Christmas. Claude, can you talk to KFC? We'll give away KFC Christmas. That sounds great. That's a great idea, right?

Genius. We'll shout some KFC Christmas. Someone said salmon, Christmas, chop suey, taro, oysters, but definitely ham and turkey with salad and rice vegetables as well. Yum. Well, that sounds great. Oh, this is so Kiwi Christmas. Whitebait fritters.

So many ambrosias coming through. There you go. Merry Christmas, everybody. It's time to play Guess the Voice, but this week it's Guess the Noise. That's right, Guess the Noise. Can I ask? Yep. How does this differentiate from ZM's secret sound?

It's easier. Oh, it's easier. I was going to say, because the secret sound takes months. The secret sound is that these noises are way more common. Should be more familiar. More familiar. And we're getting more than a nanosecond of them too. Exactly.

You would have heard it many times, but I should not be talking because Claudia has loaded the sounds and I actually have no idea. Yeah, you have no idea what I've done. Is she right? Maybe I just went into the microphone and you have to guess what that is. Fart. Claudia's fart. No, you're right. These are sounds that would have come up in your life at one point

or another. You should know all of them. But out of context, it might be a bit harder. Okay. Well, we're going to bring some teammates on to help us. Rhys, you're going to be on Bree's team. Hey, Rhys. G should know all of them. But out of context, it might be a bit harder. Okay. Well, we're going to bring some teammates on to help us. Rhys, you're going to be on Bree's team. Hey, Rhys. G'day, Rhys. Hey, guys. How's it going? You good with noises, Rhys? I'd like to think so,

but we'll wait and see. Yeah. And Debbie, you're going to help me. We're a team, okay? We're going to be working to win you some KFC this afternoon. G'day, Deb. Okay. Good luck, mate. Good luck. Okay, so Brie and Clint, you guys are going to go first. All right.

This is just a noise. So tell me what the noise is. It can't hurt you. It's just a noise. It's just a noise. Don't look it in the eye, though. Okay. So buzz in with your name if you can tell me what it is. First team to three points will take home the prize.

Here's your first one. Clint. Clint. Clint. Tinder? No, not Tinder. Again? I know. I've heard that sound.

Pokemon? No. I can give you a hint. It is from an app. Yeah, I know that. I can tell. Bejeweled? The app isn't as popular anymore.

Candy Crush. No. It's a social media app. Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint. Be real. Be real. What happened to be real? Some people are still being real.

It was a crappy idea and it eventually died out. Yeah, actually what Brie said. All right, dear, we're on top here. You've got to keep us going, Come on, Brie. Okay. Okay, so buzz in with your names if you can tell me this one.

Brie. Brie. Netflix. Oh, yes, get in, Brie. Get in. That was a sitter. Nice work, Brie. Nice work, Brie.

Oh, I know it. Is it a Uwe Boo? That's actually a really good guess. Thank you. No, it's not. It's the TikTok sound. It is. Yeah.

Oh, of course it is. You know when you download a TikTok video and then you- On the end of a video. Yeah. Download it to your Instagram story. Yes. Deb, we're back in it. You've got to keep us in it, Rhys.

No. This one's a bit of a random one, but Rhys, Debbie, this one's for you guys. Ah! Debbie, how did you get? Okay, Debbie, yeah. What a scream. What scream, sorry? What a yeah. Lord of Screams. Which Scream, sorry? Lord of Screams.

I don't know what... Oh, the Wilhelm Scream. Is that what you said? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, correct. Is it? Yeah. That's what it's called.

What even is that? It's the sound, like, it started in, I think, Star Wars. They used it in every single movie. Wow. You'll hear it in every movie. It's a universal scream that you can use in your movies. Debbie, that was incredible. How did you know that?

Just a guess. I've watched a lot of Star Wars movies. Yeah. Wow. It's like the children's laugh that they use in every single movie. Yeah, correct. Yeah, and TV show. You should listen out for it.

You'll hear it in like pretty much everything. I've never heard that one. One more time. You would have heard it. You'll hear it now. I have heard it from my past, that's for sure. Debbie, you've scored yourself 50 KFC chicken dollars. Can we get a Wilhelm scream to celebrate?

No. Go on, Deb, go on. Just a little one, Deb. Oh! Yes, Debbie! That was spot on from Debbie. I can guess the noises making a comeback. That was good fun.

Great I want to talk about this story I saw where a woman Is getting revenge On her high school bullies Oh yeah Years later They haven't been at school for years

How many years are you talking? It doesn't say exactly But but with how she talks about them, I want to say it's a good probably six or seven years later. Okay, yeah, so they're all adults now. So they're all adults, and so here's what she said. I was bullied viciously in school by a group of three girls. This lasted for over a decade. They went out of their way to make my life miserable

and I had to skip days of school on a weekly basis because I was so afraid of them. That's awful. So it was obviously really bad. Yeah. Real bad. Yeah. She said that she saw two of her tormentors.

She gave them names. Katie and Becky had gotten degrees. She tried to look past that but got angry when she found out what subjects they had studied. So apparently Katie had gotten a degree in animal care and Becky had got a degree in mental health. Get off the grass. She got a degree as a mental health nurse she said i thought it was just a joke but i was wrong i didn't know what i was going to do at first but once i started i couldn't stop i wrote a long status on facebook about what i've endured at their hands i tagged them both in the post and mentioned their names many times. The woman said that a lot of the replies people were posting were like,

you're too old to be doing this, take this down. And then some people were very supportive. Out of nowhere, she gets a message from Becky. Which one is Becky? One of the bullies. Is she the animal care one or is she the mental health one? I think she's the mental health nurse. She asked me if I could take down the post

and that she'd grown as a person since those days and she apologised and said she wished she could go back and not do any of it. I was contemplating taking down the post, but not even a day later I found out her true intentions. What was that? Apparently, Becky has been trying to get a job. Oh, and they do like a social media search on them.

And they do a social media search, and that's going to come up on her social media search. If she was really sorry, she wouldn't be contacting her asking her to take the post down. She'd be contacting her and going, hey, I've seen the post. I'm here to apologise. Just that. Yep.

You know? You lead with, I'm sorry. I understand how I made you feel now and I'm sorry. Yeah, I agree. Because if the post is truthful, you don't have to take it down. Yeah. You don't have to take it down. How ironic that she's gone on.

Is it ironic or is it kind How ironic that she's gone on. Is it ironic or is it kind of disturbing that she's gone on to a career in mental health? Yeah, I know. That's weird. And you know what? Do I believe people can change? Yes. Of course. I do believe people can change and people grow up and, you know, people make a lot of

mistakes when we're young. Yeah. Because sometimes we don't know better. And it's a lot of people's own insecurities coming out when of mistakes when we're young. Yeah. Because sometimes we don't know better. And it's a lot of people's own insecurities coming out when they're bullying in those situations. Yeah. Absolutely. I confronted a high school bully.

Oh, yeah? And where I confronted them was at my sister's engagement party. Probably not the best place to do it. Did you cause a scene? No, no, no. I didn't cause a scene at all. But it'd been a number of years. I got bullied, horribly bullied by this one boy in our grade at school.

Yeah. So much so that physically he hurt me quite a few times. Oh. Where, yeah, and bullied me terribly. And he's one of my sister's um husband's friends right and then at their engagement party obviously he was there and i hadn't seen him in 10 years but as soon as i saw him it made me feel all the feelings that i had felt in grade nine yeah which is quite horrible but jarring and obviously you're very different yeah you know and i'm sure he'd be very different

but i just couldn't help it and i said something to him like you know in a quiet way where i was Horrible. But jarring. And obviously you're very different. Yeah. And I'm sure he'd be very different, but I just couldn't help it and I said something to him. Like in a quiet way where I was like, you know those things that you said to me and that you did to me really affected me and continues to affect me in my adult life. And he didn't know what to say. What did he say? He ended up, I remember he looked at me

and just didn't really say anything for a while. And then he said, he goes, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize how much of what I was doing affected you. He goes, you know what? At the core of it, I was jealous of you. And because I played a lot of sport and did a lot of stuff. And he goes, and I was jealous of how good you were at some sports. Insecurities. People's own insecurities.

Yeah and then it was fine. And It wasn't fine but I went my way and he went his way. But did you get closure from it? I think so. I think I closed like that chapter. You know? You've said your piece. Yeah. You don't need to do the Facebook status update. No. I'm not going to do that

but I thought this might be my only opportunity. Yeah. And it might make him a better person in the future. Who knows? Yeah, quite possibly. Make him reflect on, because if he doesn't know how badly it affected you. Yeah, exactly. Let's put it out there this afternoon and ask people if they ever went on to confront their bully later in life.

Did you get to a place in life where you were like, yeah, you know what? I'm actually going to tell this person how I feel and what they did. Maybe you ran into them, like not planned, and you couldn't help but say something. Or maybe you were the bully and you've had this revelation later on in life and you've contacted some people that you hurt. Yeah, right. I'd love to hear from you guys as well.

0800 dials at M or you can text to 9696. Did you ever confront a bully later in life about what had gone on and how did it go and can you tell us about it this afternoon? Bree and Clint. I want to talk about bullies. Did you ever bump into one later on in life or were you the bully and did you have an epiphany later on where you thought, I need to apologise to some people? Did you get revenge on someone?

On one of your high school, primary school bullies? Did you see them when you were in your 30s and you're out at a bar and you're like, that's them, and you went over to them and just fully downtrout them and their undies came down as well at the same time and their willy was out in the bar and they were talking to someone, they were trying to hit on them. Were you a bully in school? Because you seem to know a lot about this kind of stuff.

I don't know. It sounds like fun though. Let's go to M10800Diles. Hi, M. G'day, M. Hi, yes. You got called out by somebody for being a bully. Is that real?

Is that true? I sure did. What happened? I had my fair share of bullying at high school as well. Okay. But I had no idea. I was just a bit unaware until the year after high school that I also... Oh, no.

We're losing her. We'll come back to Em. We'll just put you through to Claudia. I really want to hear what's going on. See if we can move you into a spot where we can hear you. We'll go to Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah.

Hi. How are you? Good, what's what's the go sarah were you bullied in school and then and got to talk to your bully later on yes i was so um all through uh primary school intermediate college you know i was the the tomboy very quiet shy, you know, the girls were very, very mean to me. You know, the name stuck most of my life. And obviously when social media come about and people started finding each other and, you know, all of that, they would add me and be like, oh my God, look at you, you're amazing, you know,

and just try and be my friend. And one of them like was really mean to me. And I was like, you know what? You actually really affected me even to this day and even some of the boys as well were really really nasty and she's like look I'm so sorry um and we're friends now obviously you really to the thing because she was like you know my childhood was horrible and you know I had a lot of things going on she's taking it out on you trying to fit in yeah exactly and and hey I've been that person too um you know, I had a lot of things going on. She's taking it out on you. Yeah, exactly. And, hey, I've been that person too, you know, growing up.

Totally. Everyone's got a story growing up. So, you know, you kind of forgive and forget. But there are some people that if I'd ever seen in the street, I would just like, oh, they make me cringe. You wouldn't want to go near. You're a down child like I talked about, right? You'd pull their pants down.

Sarah, can I just say good on you for being able to forgive someone that affected you in that way. That's big of you. And become friends with them. That's what I mean. We managed to get Emma back. We got her back online. Hey, Emma, are you there?

Here we go. Sarah, no, let's go. Emma, are you there? Yep. Em, we need to know, what are the details? You were a bully in high school or primary school and someone called you out about it? They sure did.

I was devastated. I had absolutely no idea. Yeah. The whole time we had been best friends. What did they say? I got a lengthy Facebook message from my high school best friend. Oh, so it was your best friend. Yeah.

So I was absolutely mortified. I had no idea that. I think it was kind of a personality clash. Yeah. So I was absolutely mortified. I had no idea that... I think it was kind of a personality clash. Yeah. I was very, you know, like, outgoing and, you know, kind of covering up a whole lot of other issues. Yeah. It caused a setting.

Yeah. Yeah. And she told me that she used to go home and cry every night. No! And I was... Oh, you would go home and cry every night after school. No. And if I was... Oh, you would have been mortified reading that, Em. How did it make you feel and what did you say back to her when she kind of, you know, opened up to you?

I was, yeah, I was mortified. I can't remember 100% what I said back to her, but I said, look, I'm said, look, I'm really sorry. I absolutely was not doing this on purpose. I just wish you'd called me out earlier because there's nothing I can do about it now. No, she's apologising. You're like, I wish I was aware of it. Good on you, Em, for listening. And taking it on board because some people would get quite defensive.

What about the text where someone said, I was gay and went to a country school. I got bullied all the time because I was the only one that was different. Years and years later, a few of those guys who had bullied me at school have actually approached me because they are now at that stage of life where they're curious. Ironic how the world works in mysterious ways. Yeah, I reckon that's a really common situation. I agree.

Normally the ones bullying you about something like that, normally they're having their own inner struggles. Someone said, I have a birthmark. My bully ended up having a child that also had a birthmark and that's when they apologised years later. Interesting. That's so interesting. Not the right motivation to apologise, but at least they did.

And someone else said, a girl who bullied me horrifically when I was 14 messaged me on Facebook about 10 years later and apologised. That's good. I thought you were going to say they messaged you on Facebook 10 years later and asked if you wanted to sell Arbonne. Well, yeah, I've gotten those messages as well. Those would be quite common too.

Someone else said, to be honest, I was the bully all through primary and high school. I'm now 34 and I've probably sent six to seven long apologies to people that I was really awful to. Doesn't make what I did any better. I now have children of my own and would hate for them to experience half the things that I did to others. Well, you know what?

It just means that you've grown as a person and you're different now because you've realised those things. Because a lot of people never do. No. No, go through life just. Kind of like, oh, yeah. Oh, good. Everything's all good.

I was a top bloke back in high school. Everybody loved me. Yeah. Bree and Clint. Okay, you know about girl math, right? The way that you justify any purchase to yourself using girl math. We know how it works. You know about boy math?

Well, you might not. It's out there anyway. Yes, boy math's out there. Gay math. Gay math. I've seen mum math. Mum math. Where mums justify purchases.

This one's not so much about purchases, but it is math-based. A woman named Dana Phillips has come up with the new term millennial math. Oh, here we go. And as two elder millennials ourselves, this is particularly... Wait, can we not call ourselves elder millennials? Oh, okay. We're millennials. We're first-generation millennials.

No, I would argue I'm in the middle. Did you used to watch movies on VHS tapes? Yes. You're elder millennial. What? You're elder millennial. Is that millennial math? Claudia's a young millennial.

She's just turned... No, I'm in the middle. I'm in the middle. I never had a cassette player, but I did have a dissonant. Does it matter that you're in the middle of millennial math? Okay. Okay. That's the point of millennial math. Okay, you're the middle. I never had a cassette player, but I did have a dissonant. Does it matter that you're in the middle of millennial math? Okay. Okay. That's the point of millennial math.

Okay, you're in the middle. Okay. You're in the middle. Okay, good. I'm a top. She's a bottom. Yeah, I'm a switch. Here's how millennial math works.

Have a listen. We've talked about girl math. We've talked about dog math. But have we talked about millennial math? Probably, but I watch most of my TikToks on Instagram, so I'm behind. All right, we'll start with the easy stuff. 1970, 30 years ago. 1980, 20 years ago.

Anyone born after the year 2000 is a baby, like a literal infant or toddler. Once you turn 34, are you 34 or are you 33? Or are you 35? When you turn 36, you are either 37 or 35. Once anyone turns 40, this included your parents, they are 40 forever. Yes. Until they are like at least 70.

And lastly, they cannot remake the movie Mean Girls yet because that movie is only five years old. She's 100% right on every single one of those topics. Yeah, the Asher Confessions album was only like five years ago. Correct. Yeah. It's not an old album. No.

It's not a great... No, it's still relevant. People are like, I listen to old school music. Oh yeah, what do you listen to? I listen to Eminem and Usher. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I've been doing some more millennial math. Okay.

I've worked some more out. What millennial math have you been doing? Steve Irwin. Do you remember him? Crocodile Hunter. Steve Irwin. Passed away in 2006. No, he passed away within the last 10 years. Within the last 10 years. Well, yeah, 2006, but he passed away within the last 10 years.

There's no way that Steve Irwin passed away almost 20 years ago. No, it was 10 years ago. Within the last 10. Yeah. Like, for example, I was at high school 10 years ago. Correct. Me too. That's millennial math. Millennial math, I was at high school 10 years ago. We were was at high school 10 years ago. Correct, me too. It's millennial math. Millennial math, I was at high school 10 years ago. We were both at high school 10 years ago.

I think it was my second to last year. Everybody, this is millennial math, everybody remembers 9-11. Yeah, everyone. We were at school. Yep. We literally watched it happen on TV. Yeah. Everybody...

If you don't remember it, you were a baby. Oh, there were some babies. Yeah. But they're the only ones... But they're the only ones that don't. And you were a baby oh there were some babies yeah but they're the only ones but they're the only ones that don't and they're still babies they're still babies

they're still babies if a car is from the year 2000 or beyond if it's if the year of the car starts with a 2 that's a new car

yeah brand new that's a nice modern car yeah brand new that's not like a 1990 Toyota Corolla that's a flash car anything in the 2000s that's millennial math that's a nice, modern car. Yeah, brand new. That's not like a 1990 Toyota Corolla. That's a flash car.

Anything in the 2000s, that's millennial math. That's a nice car. Jennifer Aniston, still in her 40s. Yeah, just. Just. Is she 40? Yeah, she just turned 40. Is Jennifer Aniston from Friends 40?

Just turned 40. She looks, I mean, she looks younger, but just turned 40. This is controversial millennial math. What? And it's not going to legally hold up in court. Two beers in the first hour and one beer every hour after that and you're good to drive. That's not good advice.

That's millennial math. No, that's not good advice. Two beers in the first hour and then one beer every hour after that and you're still good to drive. That one's not going to hold up, by the way. No, it's not going to hold up. Also, lolly mixes. Yeah. Still 50 cents. Yeah, it's not going to hold up. Also, lolly mixes. Yeah.

Still 50 cents. Yeah, and a dollar for the good ones. A dollar for the good ones. If they cost more, then you're getting ripped off. Yeah. Like that's not a thing. That's not a thing. If it's a $2 mix, it better have like three carblueys in it. Yeah. Seriously. It better have some gold bullion in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For $3. And this is the

biggest piece of millennial math to me that I haven't quite worked out yet. Millennial math is taking out a $35,000 student loan that takes you 15 years to pay off, but then somehow you're going to take out a $500,000 mortgage that you're going to pay off in 30 years. So $35,000, 15 years. $500 pay off in 30 years so 35 000 15 years 500 000 30 years yeah i don't know how it works but it works that's what we're expected that's how we're

expected to operate yeah i totally agree and if you you're paying um like houses uh should cost around you know 500 000 no for a good one for a good one. For a good one. Yeah. For a good one. That's a nice three-bedroom, two-bathroom in a nice suburb. Yeah, yeah. That's what they cost. $600 for a pool. $600 for a pool. Yeah.

And then maybe $750 for a pool, tennis court, mansion. Two-story though. Two-story. That's a two-story. Yeah. Millennial math. It holds up. It's a real thing.

It does, yep. We process things differently. We do. And it makes sense to us. It totally makes sense. It does. Because every generation believes that they are right. Because we are.

That's right. Bree and Clint, that felt good to get off our chest. Bree and Clint. I have a first world problem and I need my friends to help me sort it out. Now, wait a second. Just before you said it's a first world problem and I need my friends to help me sort it out. Wait a second. Just before you said it's a first world problem for most people, but for you, it's just an everyday problem. No, you've misinterpreted me.

I said, while it is a first world problem, it's still a problem for me. It's still something I need sorted out. Oh, I did misinterpret that. So when are your friends getting here? You are my friends. Can we just say we distance ourselves from the opinions and whatever's about to be said

by Clem Roberts. The only opinion that I need to state at the start of this is that I understand this is not a life or death situation. That doesn't make it better. That doesn't make it better.

Do you want to help? Actually, we don't know what it is yet, Claudia. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. We're giving you the benefit of the doubt. The floor is yours. So this weekend, I'm flying to Perth to see Coldplay. Oh, come on.

I'm off. I am very lucky to be being flown to Perth to see Coldplay perform. For free. Yep. It was very nearly Bree's trip. She lost it in a game of rock, paper, scissors. I lose everything. I feel like I get the raw end of the deal a lot. You're going to get the next one. Yep. It was very nearly Bree's trip. She lost it in a game of rock, paper, scissors. I lose everything. I feel like I get the raw end of the deal a lot.

You're going to get the next one. Okay. Okay. And then I'll help you with your dilemma. Probably to, you know. Quite a long flight. Probably to Caboolture in Queensland. Yeah, we can get you there.

It's quite a long flight to Perth. It is a long flight. Seven and a half hours to Perth. And I have on my Air New Zealand account, because I'm flying Air New Zealand, I have one upgrade that I can use. So I can upgrade my flight either going there or coming back. I feel like this is sounding more like a rich person problem. You haven't even heard the dilemma yet.

The dilemma is the promoter of the concert has bought me a premium economy ticket flying back already. So my first world problem is... It's getting worse. Oh my God. Do I upgrade my flight there to be a premium economy flight or do I rough it there and upgrade my premium economy flight back to business class

which holy shit I have you have never sounded more unrelatable in your life I know oh my god Claudia are you listening I just just bear in mind. Should I upgrade one of my dreams to business or should I just go both premium economy to the concert that I'm going to for free and I'm not paying for anything? What should I do? Should I be fancy or extra fancy?

I guess that's what it is, isn't it? And just bear in mind that neither of these options will cost me any money. Okay? I know exactly what to do. Okay, Claudia. If I was in your shoes and I had free tickets at Premium Economy, upgrade to business. Upgrade to business?

You're never going to fly business, right? No. Well, we would never fly business, Claudia. Have you just listened to this story? Can I ask one question? I did get the business flight back from Perth earlier this year and it was very nice. See? I thought it was more relatable that you'd never flown

business and this would be like your only chance but okay, never mind. Wait, so is the flight I'm going to try and actually give advice now. So is the premium economy flight on the way back? Yes. That's the flight that you want to be comfortable. That's the one that gets on the

five o'clock in the morning. You're already tired. Can you just save your upgrade for something else? You don't have to use it. For my next free flight. Yeah, for the next trip. He's probably going to get a free trip to Vegas and we'll all have to sit here and just like watch him fly and wave him goodbye.

We're like, where are you going to now? And Clint's like, oh, a company called me and they've given me tickets to see Usher in Vegas. Someone's got to review Usher in Vegas and who better than me? No, it's my turn next. You say Bree's going to get the next one, but it'll be like, oh, you can drive yourself down to Lake New Plymouth. It's so will be.

Watch this space, everybody. Whatever seats I choose, I'll post about them on Instagram I'm on the edge of my seat And just know Clint That all of our thoughts and prayers are with you In these hard times I'm going to put notifications on right now Is that seat that you're on the edge of

Is that premium economy Shut your damn mouth And that's the end of our show That's us We've got to get out of here Go and enjoy the daylight savings There's still sun And that's the end of our show. That's us. Boy, we've got to get out of here. You know, go and enjoy the daylight savings. There's still sun.

Yeah. Are you making the most of your daylight savings? Yes. I go straight home, close the curtains, and sit on the couch. Oh, nice. What do you do? Very similar. Go home, sit on the couch.
