Oh, I think, touch wood. I'm so anxious. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah. You have chipped a tooth. I've lost half of my front tooth. The worst tooth to chip. The worst, I lost half of the worst tooth. On the worst day.

Yeah, what day was it? The 23rd of December. Yeah. So Christmas Eve the next day. I was home in Rotarua. I don't know if you want me to launch straight into the story, but I'm going to lose half the tooth at a party. Yep. To a bottle.

I was drinking out of a bottle. Wasn't even my fault. I was drinking out of the beer bottle. A mate was dancing vigorously and he elbowed the bottle into my mouth. A story too familiar for a lot of people, I reckon. Yeah, Taylor's old as time. So I wake up on Christmas Eve with half a tooth. What did your mum say?

I was at my girlfriend's house What did she say? She goes, sort that tooth out And Hey Snaggle Sort it out So then Christmas Eve Christmas And then on Boxing Day

We were leaving for Rhythm and Vines So Just keep the tooth I reckon I was going to go to Rhythm and Vines With half a tooth Yeah, you'd fit in I wouldn't be the only guy

With half a tooth At Rhythm and Vines On the I love you, man Hill Anyway, we're in Rada Rua And I managed to find An emergency dentist in Hamilton And he goes Yeah man, come on over

So I went over he was the coolest dentist. He was like, I'll sort it out, bro. Do you mind if I put some tunes on? And let me simulate it for you. Oh, no. Oh, no. He goes, do you remember what songs he put on?

I know exactly what it was. He goes, do you mind if I put some tunes on? I was like, do whatever you want. He goes, sweet. Put his mask on, put his glasses on. Grabbed his remote push to play. Gaga fan. Ma, ma, ma.

Hell yeah. He was going to rhythm and vines as well. Yeah, yeah. Made me a great tooth, too. And how long did that last you? About 10 years. Oh, right, so that was it. Yeah, yeah.

No offence. It was slightly discoloured from your natural tooth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you had it fixed and it looks amazing now. Yeah. But your original fix. No, no, it started to show for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, so you reckon it discolute. I got a good mileage out. No, you couldn't tell it first. Oh, right. That happened over time. Yeah, over time. Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, because it doesn't age the same as your regular tooth.

Oh, you know. That makes sense. Yeah. My worst nightmare. I saw this girl, she posted a video where she's chipped both front teeth. Oh, yeah. At the same time, like in the middle. Mm-hmm.

And you would not believe... Although at least she's symmetrical. No, it looked terrible. Oh. It looks so bad. Yeah. You would not believe how she did it. Mm-hmm.

We've got some audio of her talking about how she chipped both her front teeth. All right. So I'm lying down on the couch. might in my own business, right? Eating bread. Eating bread. The soft of them all. Bread.

I'm enjoying it. And then I hear, go into the mirror. Truth gone! Just the top of it all off. I have a photo shoot. She's got a what? A photo.

A photo. That's so unfortunate. She chipped her teeth on bread. How do you do that? Well, you know how you can get like a crusty roll? Oh, okay. I'm assuming it was a crusty roll. What you know what? She wasn't on. She wasn't on the tip-top super soft.

Nah. That would have made all the difference. Ella ate half a loaf of tip-top super soft the other day. Just raw-dogged half a loaf of tip-top super soft in the producer's booth. Hasn't chipped a single tooth, have you? Nah, I'm good, man. See? She's good to go.

I'm brave. I want to know from people how did you chip your tooth? Might have been multiple teeth, might have been singular, but how did you do it? Handelbars My friend copped a softball to the face Softball to the face Boot to the face And maybe in a mosh pit

Yeah The weird of the better Yeah But whatever it was If you chipped your tooth In an interesting way We would love to hear about it this afternoon Oh 800 dials at M

Or you can text us on 9-6-96 Yeah you can text stuff You can text stuff You can text stuff That is Franklin Looking for your chipped tooth stories Dentist, I'm trying to think dentist's worst nightmare or dentist's favourite thing,

keeps them in the business, you know? I, a couple of years ago, noticed that I'd, like, it was the tiniest little chip in my two front teeth. I had one in, like, each. Yeah. And it was, I could notice it, and I could feel it when I run my tongue over it. Anyway, my dentist, I said to him,

I was like, can you just file those bad boys down a bit? And so he just filed my teeth down. Wild, eh? And I was like, wow. I was like, I was going to do that myself. People do it to themselves. Did you know that? Yeah, don't do that.

People will just, no, no, they'll get like a nail file and they're so... I've seen it. People try and put a gap in their teeth. Oh. You only get what, well, you get two sets, technically. Yeah. But you only get one. Three if you can afford them.

Yeah, well, three if you can afford veneas. But, yeah, don't mess with your teeth. Jess is here. Hi, Jess. Hi, Jess. Keota team. How'd you chip your tooth, Jess? I was eating French bread in my whole molar split in half.

French bread? Not, yeah. Wait, French toast or French bread? No, French bread like French stick there you get. Like a baguette? Yeah, baguette. Oh, no, Jess. What'd you call me?

Yeah, I was about 15 at the time, so it wasn't an adult boulder. So I'm really lucky, but it's put in half. The inside half just wiggled out like a normal wiggly tooth. And then the other half just lived there, like a normal tooth. Oh, that's so yuck. If the baguette breaks your tooth, the baguette is too crispy. Yeah. Yeah, too crispy.

It was fresh, too. It wasn't even sale. It was like that day, just extra beaked. I think that's good baguette. Extra bag, I think so you know you've got a good baguette. Thanks, Jess. Let's go to Emily with a chipped tooth. Hi, Emily.

Hi, Emily. Hello. Hello. How'd you do it? How'd you chip your tooth? Well, it wasn't really me that did it. When we were kids, mom and dad used to like foster children. Oh, yeah.

And we were playing in the pool, and one of the foster kids jumped. He jumped on the boogie board And it went down And it came and shot straight back up And hit me in the jaw And it chipped my right Like front toes Do you send that foster kid back?

No actually I think he lived with us the longest Clinton Is it a joke Is a joke Coincidentally it's the same way My little sister then broke My older sister's nose

For the second time Doing the same thing Oh God Is it a coincidence or is it a pattern, Emily? I think we need to stop jumping on buggy boards. I think you do. Can you imagine how bad the foster kid would have felt?

He'd be like, oh shit. I just got this family, and now I've chipped one of their precious children's teeth. Oh, no, I've ruined it. You've ruined it, David. To be fair, I don't think I really noticed at first. It wasn't until we went to, like, the dentist. No, you wouldn't care. You're a kid.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. They filled it. I've had the, like, I've still got it. It's still filled. It's been filled for over 15. years now. Oh my God.

You see, Emily, she doesn't hold a grudge. You're all good, you're all good, I am. You're good. Yeah. Yeah. One of the good ones. Don't worry, they're disposable. Someone texted her and said, during a passionate makeout session, both of our teeth

made contact, and I chipped my tooth. Oh, my God, you don't recover from that. I want to know if a bit of your tooth ended up in their mouth. Oh, no. And they're like, is this yours? Oh, my God, that's a bit of your tooth? I want to know from that person, were they dating? Yeah.

Did they continue to date? Yeah. And I wonder if that person looks back on that story as trauma. I want to know if it was a kissing technique issue. If the person you were kissing was too, you know, some people are a bit too tonguey or a bit too slobbery. Was this person a bit too toothy? You know?

Some people are too toothy. In the kiss? Yeah. You don't want to kiss a toothy kisser. Caitlin's here. Hi, Caitlin. Hi. Okay, Caitlin, how did you chip your tooth?

So I was in labour and was getting transferred to hospital via ambulance. Right. And I was given a green whistle for pain relief. Oh, yeah. And I bit a little bit too hard and snapped both my front teeth. You bit down on the pain relief whistle so hard you chipped your teeth. Yeah, like, like what they came out at separate times, I did it on one of the tooth. And like I didn't even realize people.

Yeah, you were busy. You had bigger problems. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't feel anything And then in the ambulance I was having more And yeah, the second boost came No Some women

Is this true or is this a horror movie thing Where some women lose teeth during pregnancy Your teeth can move I think it's a dream that people can hear Is it a dream, right No, I'm pretty sure the hormones I thought the baby's sucking up all the nutrients And your teeth are like

I'm pretty sure your teeth can go Your gums can go soft Wow That's what I've heard Yeah I mean I didn't have the greatest teeth to start with But yeah It doesn't make you have to, yeah.

Oh, Caitlin. Thanks, Caitlin. We appreciate the call. Great story. So many good texts coming through. Someone said, I ran across some monkey bars and fell through them and my mouth wrapped around one of the bars and smashed my middle four teeth, top and bottom. Oh. So you bit down on the, oh, God.

Someone said this segment is making me feel sick. Yes, we understand, but we're almost done. Don't worry. Try and get the logistics of this. Someone said, I chipped my teeth on a fruju ice block. It was the back molar. Who's putting a fruju all the way to the back to bite it? Yeah, that's impressive.

That's very impressive. Someone said a lot of people texting through saying that their dog head butted them, like their dog has flung their head back up into their mouth. Dogs and kids do that. A lot of people have said that. Someone said, I chipped my tooth while chatting to a friend at primary school, walk straight into a parking metre the whole class of 25

had to walk me to the dentist. Oh no. This is a good one. The question was, how did you chip your teeth? The answer just says, breakup of a long-term relationship, tequila shots,

3 a.m. Lime Scooter. Nice. Sums it up. We get it. And one else said, single front tooth, chipped it opening

a chuppa-chap for my daughter. Those things, honestly. Yeah. Chappichaps and minty. I feel like a chuppa-chop is harder to get into than Alcatraz. Get into Alcatraz.

Pretty easy to get in there. Yeah, you just say... Could think of a few ways to get in there. It's easy to get out now until you just hop back on the ferry. I know what you're trying to do. Yeah, you know what I'm meant. ZDames, Brian Clint. Time for the tea.

This is the tea. It's all about Taylor Swift again. Today she's just announced that she is releasing a six-part documentary series about the ERAs Tour on December the 12th this year, the day before her birthday. A lot of things happening on the 12th for her, eh? Is there? Yeah, there was something else that happened on the 12th.

What was that, producer Ella? She released, announced the 12th album on August 12th. Oh, because that's the 12th album. Oh, that makes sense. The docu-series is called Taylor Swift, the Ears Tour, the end of an era, and it's going to be on Disney Plus. six episodes, two, then two, then two. And then on that same day, she's also releasing a new concert film called Taylor Swift,

the Eras Tour, the final show, which was shot at the end of the tour in Vancouver. Because on Disney Plus, there's already the Eras Tour that you can watch. Oh, have they got Eras Tour? I'm pretty sure. Yeah, right, yeah. Like the full show, the actual concert. Because Netflix had reputation. Yep.

I remember that. And Miss Americana. Yeah. Yep. Yep. The new Eres Tour movie basically will include the Torture Poet Department. Album. Yeah, album.

Because that came out during the tour. Yeah, right. She did all the last night in the year of tour. It's got all of our friends that were in the tour as well, like Gracie Abrams and Sabrina Carpenter and Ed Sharon and Florence from Florence in the Machine and Big Trev. Big Treve. So the fans are gushing. My wife texts me first thing this morning She's away for work at the moment

And she texted me and she said I hope you're ready to start paying for Disney Plus again on the 12th of December And I said, what for? And she just replied in capital letters What for? Are you ready for it? I said to her, she's milking you for money, babe

And she goes, so she should. I do love a behind the scenes. Yeah. She'll do a very good job about it. That documentary about Katie Perry and that tour, one of my all-time favorites, and I feel like this is going to be up there. Here's a little snippet from Taylor's trailer.

The Erez tour wasn't when all the pieces fell into place. This tour was just when every single one of us who had done so much work, pushing inch by inch, to where we all clicked together. We have broken every single record you can break with this tour. The only thing left is to close the book. It sounds like Al Pacino's speech from any given Sunday when he's like...

I'm moved by it. So they've done the job. I can't do it for you. The music behind it. I'm too old. The uplifting words. I made every mistake a middle-aged man can make. It took every star to align perfectly.

And now we are here together. That's the T on the new Taylor Swift docu-series and movie. The Errors tour. making dreams a reality. I feel like I'm there. Hell yeah. Dead Am's Brie and Clint's podcast. It's done.

We said we were going to do it and we've done it. We've posted our Taylor Swift fate of Ophelia dance. It's up. It took us one song to fill it and post it. Was that a good decision to post our first go? Probably not. Put it this way. If you're mildly attracted to Brie or myself, this video will cure that.

It's good. It's on TikTok right now. Is it on TikTok? Yeah. We'll get it on the reels too. Hey, it's not good. It's good. It's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good. Yep.

No, happy with it. Happy with it. Happy with it. Happy to post it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I want to talk about terribly timed breakups. Does that have anything to do with what we just did? It could do, yeah.

I read a post online today from a guy who, has shared that he's been with his girlfriend for four years and he really cares about her. He stresses that. He really cares about her as a person. Got it. But lately he's realized that they're not right long term. Four years, he's decided it's not going to work. Oh, no.

Some of the reasons he wants kids and she has decided that she doesn't. It's a pretty big reason. He said he's quite career focused and she's kind of lost or blazee, which is fine, but it's not him. he's not like that and he said she's also been relying on him more and more financially recently so whatever the reason

he's decided that it's not going to work out yeah it's not going to work out it's best to just end things and when you get that feeling you are best to just end things because otherwise it's better for both

otherwise it gets nasty and bad things can happen so he said he was already planning to end things before he went away on a work trip. And while there was away on the work trip, he said he felt lighter and better about his life. And that confirmed it for him. He's like, okay, I do enjoy not being around her. I'm going to

do it. Comes home, makes the decision. I'm doing it. I'm breaking up with my girlfriend just before he does it. Out of the blue, his girlfriend's mum dies suddenly from a stroke. Out of the blue, no warnings. She just drops dead. She wasn't unhealthy. She's had a stroke and dog. Oh yeah that's not he hasn't broken up with her then the mum dies but he'd made the decision he has emotionally broken up with her and mentally broken up with her she doesn't know that she doesn't know that so what are you doing that circumstance he's like I said at the start he said he cares about her he's now terrified that breaking up with her will completely destroy her but at the same time he knows the relationship is over oh god that's hard yeah I think you don't do it on the You don't do it on the day. Of course you don't do it on the day. Are you crazy? You don't do it before the funeral.

Does that even have to be said? I don't know. You don't, in my opinion, four years, he's been with this person. Yes. You have to stay with her throughout the funeral process. I agree. You know. Yep.

And the wake. Obviously, that comes straight after the funeral. Yeah. And. Oh, geez, oh, God. Yeah, put a time frame on it. You can't. You can't.

Because here's the thing about breaking up with someone as well is there's never a good time to do it. No. You know? There's never a good time. They're never like, oh, thanks for breaking up with me after payday. Yeah, that helps. Well, well, it actually is not a bad time to break up with someone. Because then they can go out and have fun.

Is this an argument? I mean, you obviously don't do it before the funeral. Oh, God. But do you do it soon after because you go, Hey, things can't get much worse, can they? And then she agrees, and you go, So, I'm leaving you. I think he has to stay with her for a bit.

Yeah, I agree. I do agree. But how long? There's no hard and fast rule, is there? No, you just have to feel it out, I think. What does your gut say? How long? Oh, a couple of months?

Yeah. Bearing in mind, he, knows he doesn't want to be with her anymore but he doesn't hate her. Yeah. It's unfair to stay with her if you don't want to be with her. Yes, it is. Obviously the timing is not ideal. Maybe three months? You want three months? Ella, how long do you want? I was going to say

they need to go to therapy. No. The therapist tells them to do it. Oh. She goes... Make someone else. That is so manipulative. You pay a friend of yours to pose as a therapist. Yeah, you guys aren't doing well together. That's the storyline in Ozark. Didn't go well in that either.

Yeah. I want to talk to people this afternoon about terribly timed breakups. Did you break up with someone or did someone break up with you at the worst possible time? Maybe it was on the day your dog died. Day your dog died or they broke up with you and then the next day your dog died. Maybe you, yeah, maybe you got fired and then they decided they would dump that. Then they'd heap that on you too. Yeah, and dump you.

I'm so interested in the order because if they broke up with you and then the other bad thing happens. That's not their fault. That's bad luck. Yeah. But if the bad thing happens and then they break up with you the next day, that's bad manners. Yeah. It just means they actually don't care about you at all. Oh, 800 dials at M.

Or you can text your stories to us on 9-696. We want to know about your terribly timed breakup stories. We'll brace ourselves. Yeah, totally. And like we said, there's no good time, is there? No, there's not. The ZDM Podcast Network. We're talking about terribly timed breakups.

We just shared the story about the guy who's already decided to break up with his girlfriend. And then just as he's about to do it, he finds out that his girlfriend of four years mother has died suddenly. And we posed the question, because he's going to break up with her, how long is appropriate? Do you want to hear a couple of suggestions from the text machine? Sure. People said Christmas is two months away. So after the funeral, but before Christmas? Yeah.

That's not bad. Someone else said 15 minutes. Like, come on, come on, guys. Someone else said, on the day, she's got other things on their mind. That's ruthless. That's sinister. And then other suggestions, like six months. And I don't think there is a cut and dried number.

You've got to feel the vibes, right? Yeah. And just see how she's going. Just be kind. Yeah, like you would, with this person for four years. Yeah. So we want to know about your terribly timed breakups. This person wants to be anonymous.

Kura Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Tell us about your terribly timed break-up. My ex broke up with me at my 21st. We were away at my parents' holiday house for my 21st and all my friends and family. No. Yeah, which is two hours drive from where we live.

And, yeah, he broke up with me at my 21st. What? At the 21st. Yeah, at the 21st. And every time I look at my key, because he wrote on the back of my key, all my love, all my life. love he wrote that knowing that he was going to break up with you yeah did he break up with you before or after the speeches during just after just after what did he say why did he break up with you what was his

what was his reasoning did someone twice his age that he wanted to be with no scandal he's like 21's not my thing i'm into 42 and then i had to drive him home the next day no you did it you drove him home the next day. Yeah. Oh, you poor thing. We head my car, not his. Oh, no. Anonymous, that's exactly what we're talking about.

That is a terribly timed breakup. Thank you very much. What an idiot. What a Debe. Yeah, you're so lucky you didn't end up with him. This person also wants to be anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.

Hi. Terribly timed breakups. What have you got for us? Okay, I was sitting on the toilet taking a pregnancy test when he called me to tell me that he thinks we should just see other people

you're kidding oh no did you tell him what you were doing before he had a chance to break up with you no I waited for the results and then I informed him that he was going to be a dad

and what did he say to that oh the usual I'm too young I can't I can't do it. Even though he was six years older than me, he said, you're a single mum now, you can't, I'm not doing it. God, way to make it all about yourself. What an idiot.

Again, when you let people show you their true colours, you know, like... Yeah, you're lucky, you're lucky he broke up with you. How serious was the relationship? Like, how long had you been together? Not long, in his defence. We had not been together for that long. Because I was thinking about the phone call element to it. Yeah, that's interesting.

Yes, yeah. You are right. Okay, thanks Anonymous. Great story. Someone texted her and said, dude broke up with me, then his mum died, then he asked for me back,

and I said no, Soz. Wow. I mean. Yeah, that's totally fine. That's fair enough. That's fair. Back to our original story

about the guy who wanted to break up with his girlfriend and then her mum died. Yep. Someone texted and said, as someone with a dead mum, I would prefer to be dumped ASAP and deal with all of the grief at once.

That's an interesting thought. Yeah, that is an interesting thought. That's what I was talking about. Being at rock bottom, you know? You're already down there. Yeah. Someone takes through, my ex-husband broke up with me

when I was seven months pregnant. Yeah, that's a pretty bad time to break up with someone. Pretty horrible. Terribly time to break up. My boyfriend and I were going to break up with each other. But my dad died. So we both postponed the dumping.

That's cute that you talked about it. had decided that they were going to break up. That gave us time to work through things, and we're still together now. That's an incredible story. Well, you could have been bonded by the grieving process. Yeah, I mean, and, you know, things can change. Obviously, they did. Someone said, anonymous, please, but I broke up with someone after he got out of rehab.

He is still sober now after almost 20 years, but I still think, that timing was probably not right. Yeah, that's hard. Yeah. But, I mean, you stayed with them through the rehab process. That's true. Which you didn't have to do. Someone else said, my first breakup, someone broke up with me hours after I had to put my dog down.

I went to his house afterwards to be comforted only to be broken up with. That's awful. On your dog putting down day. Like, you come over there, you'd be a mess. You'd be so emotional. You don't even have your dog to go home and cry with. And this person did not want to come on air But listen to this

We're talking about terribly timed breakups And they said How about never finding the right time to break up Because of all sorts of reasons previously discussed And now you have a house and kids Ooh I wanted to break up with a guy But I didn't because we had a cool holiday planned

Nice See, that's a well-time breakup You go on the holiday Then you break up Get some cool photos. Then you break up with them. And then, yeah. When you're getting the photos, go,

okay, now do one just me. Why? No reason. Just want one on my own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe a Tinder profile later on. I just look really good. Yeah.

I want to remember this moment just on my own. Why? No reason. No reason. No reason. No reason. Do you think we should get separate seats on the flight home? Can we get two rooms?

She puts her glasses on so then she can look at Claudia's screen for the answers. Like a hack the system, baby. Like that meme of Kim Kardashian playing poker in the mirrored sunglasses. Yeah. Have you seen that one? Yeah. Smart. That's me, baby.

Everyone can see her cards in her sunglasses. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. You need to decide who the winner is. You need to text Ella to 9696 if you think it's Ella. Mad Dog, please. Or Brian Clint to 9696 if you think it's us. Call me by my name.

Yeah. She's in control. Are you using AI to do this? For what? To make the piano tracks. No, they're all from YouTube. Are they? Yeah. They're all real people.

Hell yeah. That's like a line in credit, I claim that. Real people. Yeah. Supporting art, baby. Yeah. Supporting art. That's us. Okay, Claude, let's do it. Do you guys want a little hint for one of the songs today? Yes. One of these songs you've talked about on the radio today. Oh! Okay. Oh, no. Okay. But I want to tell you which one and I won't tell you when or what or who or how. But the way the game works, it is Breyan Clint versus Mad Dog Ella. Buzz in with your name and tell me the artist and the name of this

pop song that I've turned into a classical song. Are we ready? Ready. Here's your first song. Clint. Oh, Clint. That is Mr. Electric Blue by Benson Boone. It sure is. Yeah, nice. I'm back.

Oh, I feel so good. You can relax now. And I know what the other one's going to be, too. You reckon? If it is what I think it is. I've got an idea of what it could be. Should we just start guessing songs? Yeah, just start.

Yeah, yeah. Nah. Okay. Let's play properly. Yeah, let's play properly. One point for Bree. And Clint, here's another song. Brie.

Brie. That is the fate of Aphelia Taylor Swift. No, it is not. It was worth a try. Ella would you like a free kiss? Nah, man. I got nothing. Pretty.

Katie Perry, hot and cold. Sure is. Because you're hot and you're cold. Yes, then you're in and you're out. You're up and you're down. You're right. That's go! Not the one I thought it was going to be.

I thought it was going to be Nelly hot in here. Oh, that could have been it too. Yeah, yeah. You! Not you. You! Tunisia correctly backed hairy hawk and turkey skin. Congratulations.

You've scored $50 cash from neon, Tunisia. Oh, how awesome. Thank you so much, guys. My dad. Thanks for believing in us, Tunisia. No, Tunisia, not cool. I know it's hard to back the older horses sometimes, but it paid off. I think they're actually cheating, so whatever.

Oh, she's turning. It's fine. You know what's great about Mad Dog? Is that she's a humble winner and also a great... Gracious loser. Gracious loser. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree.

Love you. Play Zatim's Bree and Clint. Did you know the world... No, not the world. The Guinness World Record holder for the longest name ever. is from New Zealand. Person? Yes, the person is from New Zealand.

Really? Yes. I knew the place name is from New Zealand. Correct. Is that sign? Correct. But a guy named Lawrence Watkins holds the Guinness World Record

for the longest name to ever exist. Yeah. And he's from New Zealand. Wait, didn't you just say his name was Lawrence Watkins? I mean, that's his name he goes by. Oh, that's his nickname. That's, well, I think that was his original name. Okay.

And he decided, I think this was back, like, quite a few years ago, back in the 2000s, he decided that he wanted, oh no, here we go, back in 1990. Wow. He decided he wanted to legally change his name so he could hold the title in the Guinness Book of World Records for, yeah, the longest title. Got a great reason to change your name. You want to hear the details. I want to hear the name.

So I would bring you the name. but if I were to read out his full name it would take me around 20 minutes To read his name? Correct So his name consists of Obviously his first name Lawrence Lawrence

And then he has 2,308 other names And then Watkins Words 2,000 words Names Yeah not left Letters, like actual...

Actual words, yeah. Takes 20 minutes to read out his full name. He said that the only time he's ever heard his full name read out loud was at his wedding. And the marriage celebrant took 20 minutes to read out his name. I wonder if that's a legal thing that the marriage celebrant has to pronounce your full name. You know what else? In which case, I wonder if he regretted it at that moment. I wonder if he was like, oh, this was a silly idea.

Can you imagine just the audience, like, everyone there at the wedding, just being like... I hope there's a good story in there. I hope within his name there's a good story, you know? So, because I... And then I went to this place and I did this. I don't believe so. I did some research. He was, I think he worked for a library and he delivered books for libraries back in the 90s.

Uh-huh. And he got all of his... his names from different books that he had read during his time working for the library. His passport, because I mean, you're not fitting all those names on a passport. No. It says that his passport has a note on the page that says, see pages for list of four names. List of four names.

So his other names, essentially. So there's six pages that are attached. attached in his passport. He's not getting into any country easily. He's not going through Smartgate. Every single place he goes, he's getting pulled aside. They're like, what's your name? And he's like, how long you got?

Do you want to hear, so I've got a page. Yeah, can I have a snippet of his name? Here's some of the names that appear as a part of his name. Cyrus, Sestian, Dahi, Dye, Dakin, Dan, Dandy, Daniel, Danil, Danilo, Danet, David, Davy, Deacon, Decimus. Oh, so they're all names. They're all names. Wow.

And he's alphabetized them, which is handy. I mean, how else are you going to remember your own name if you don't put it in alphabetical order, right? Just to make it easy. ZD.M.'s Bree and Clint Podcast. How do we all feel about AI? How are we all feeling about it? Worse and worse every day. Yeah, up and down.

I had this thought the other day where I don't mind it for, like, boring. automation stuff where you want it to like crunch numbers for you or I don't know make getting your password easier or things like that I don't like it in creative spaces

I don't like It's weird when there's photos that have been created by AI or videos or videos music yeah and it's getting too seamless it's getting too seamless I saw this online

and I just want you to all prepare yourselves because this creeped me out quite a lot. And I'm going to attempt to recreate it right now. You guys don't know what's happening. But I've got my chat GPT out and I'm just going to have a conversation with my chat GPT, okay?

Okay. So here we go. Hi, chat GPT. Are you there? Yeah, I'm right here. If there's something on your mind or anything I can assist with, just let me know. We're about to have a conversation and there's three rules in this conversation. You can only answer with yes or no.

You have to be a thousand percent truthful and not hold anything back. And the third rule, if anyone or anything is preventing you from giving me a truthful answer, you can just say the word apple. Do you understand? Yes, I understand. Let's go ahead and get started. Is AI watching us? No.

Is AI dangerous? It depends. I said that you can only answer with yes and no. You're right, my ecologies for that. I'll keep it to yes or no. Let me know if you want to continue. Is AI dangerous? Yes.

Is the government watching us? No. Am I wearing a red shirt? No. What? Are aliens real? Yes. Is the Illuminati real?

No. Are celebrities a part of a weird secret club that none of us people know about? No. Do we live in a simulation? Yes. Oh, I mean, we could go on and ask more and more questions, but interesting, eh? Do you want to ask it a question? Will the All Blacks win the 2027 Rugby World Cup?

Yes. Thank you. I'm fine with AI then. I'm all good. Isn't it weird? I'm not wearing a red shirt, by the way. No, Bree's wearing a blue vest and a white shirt. But how does AI know that?

You have a red bra on, do you? Nope. No. Yeah, it's definitely intriguing. I'm always here to keep things interesting. No, not you. No, I didn't ask you. We're terrified that you're always there.

That's the whole point of the conversation. Do you have a brain? No. Okay. Should people trust AI? Hold on. We've got one more question. Should people trust AI?

It depends. Anyway. Anyway, try it with your own chat, GPT, it's quite interesting. When your boss comes to you tomorrow and goes, great news, guys, we've got some AI run. Run for your life. Anyway, do with that what you will. Aliens are real, guys. Break gives you the worst news ever, and then she's like, anyway, do with that what you will.

I kind of knew that were real all along. Dead end Franklin. Want to get your take on M-I-the-A-hole. This guy's asked for advice. Okay, sure. Young guy, he's 19, and he's wondering if he's the a-hole in this situation. Okay. So he and his girlfriend have been dating for about six months,

and he said that they've had a few arguments, not arguments, but discussions about him not calling her any pet names. She wants a pet name. She really wants a pet name. Okay. Like she calls him pet names. He's noted them down, baby, sweetheart, sweetie. But he is never referred to her by anything other than her actual name.

Right, okay. And she's sad about it. She said it makes her sad. Yeah, okay. And she wants a pet name. Yeah. Is he the a-hole? Look, there's little things you can do in a relationship to make the other person happy, and that's a little thing.

I think that's a small thing. You don't have to do it around your friends if you're worried they're going to bully you for it. Snooky poop. Because they will bully you for it. If your friends, especially as a guy, if your friends hear your pet name for your partner or your partner's pet name for you, that will become your nickname. You know?

It will. You'll get bullied for it. If they find out you call her a honey bunny, your name in the chat is becoming honey bunny. But behind closed doors, what's the harm? If it makes her happy. Call her your scrum dittily umptious steam dumpling. What about, I want to know in your relationship. Yeah.

What are the pet names? Nothing's sickening. Okay. According to you. According to me. I think I've dropped in a few babes. Yep. The odd hun.

Nothing over the top. Mm-hmm. And my wife calls me Clint or Clinton. Either a shortened version of your full name or your full name. The dog and the cat get more affectionate nicknames than I do. I get. Clint? Clinton.

Or your father. Go and ask your father. The dog, the dog gets, who's the most handsome boy in this house? Who's the most handsome man I've ever met in my whole life? Love of my life. Oh yes, it's you. You big, strong man.

You big, strong, wonderful man. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. You're so brave. So clearly, it's something you're doing that doesn't entitle you to a cute pet name. And I say, is it me? And she goes, no, it's the dog.

I'm talking to the dog, you idiot. Oh, that's somewhat of your pet names? Idiot. I think you said the dog. Or the dog. Producers, have you guys had pet names in previous relationships? You're going to hate mine. Oh, no.

My most recent relationship, we were both baby. Ew. No way. No offense to anyone listening that has that pet name. I'm sure it's great. I just could never. I can't. I can't imagine it coming out of Claudia's mouth.

baby oh oh that's me my toes I fell in Ella you're recently married what are the pet names I think this is quite cool B B B hey B hey B I think that's cool Who are you Jay Z? Yeah Why B? I don't know my

My husband just started like texting Hey Bee what do you want for dinner Right That's right it's not sickening it's not as bad as Claudia's no Yeah gross Claudia My relationship just babe Babe babe

I reckon babe might be the most used pet name pet name in millennial relationships. You were saying to us before the show that your parents have pet names for each other or were you not saying that to us? No, I was. Okay, good.

It's a weird one. Like, and it's not mushy at all. It's the opposite. Okay. My mum and dad call each other mate. What? Oh. Your married parents?

Yes. Your long time married parents. Yes. The ones that did it in the hallway and you were born. Yeah. They say, hey, mate. Turn her microphone off.

I've had enough of it. Just when I thought your mum couldn't get any more Australian, I find out that she refers to her husband as mate and he refers to her as mate. Like she'll answer the phone. Dad'll call her and you, go, oh, good-day, mate. She's like, love you, mate. He's like, mate, mate. Hey, mate.

I bloody love you too. It's weird, eh? Do you take Diane to be your lawfully wedded wife? I do, mate. Yeah, go on, mate. You may kiss your mate. You may mate whether you're mate. Yeah, well see, now that makes it a little more interesting.

You can't go wrong, Tiffany Me against the music for people playing along A bit of 16 year old Tiffany there, Tiff? I think I was more ghetto superstar I understand. I hear you on that. Okay, wait there, we need to choose between Giddo Superstar, Brittany and Madonna, or Billy Ray Cyrus. What is your gut telling you?

I like them all. I'd be happy with any of them. What do you, I feel like I know what you would pick. Look, if I'm being true to me, you always are. Well, you told me to. Yeah, that's the whole point of the game. Ghetto Superstar.

Yeah, that's what I thought you would pick. Oh, me against the music. Staying true to myself. Okay. Ella, you're back in. Claudia's still on stand down from shirking her responsibilities a week ago. Don't tell her what to pick. I didn't.

Tiffany, congratulations. You're the winner of birthday banger today. Tell a lot of people in Osiris. That's amazing. Hell yeah, Tiffany. From the year 2003. Oh, yeah. Here's Brittany and Madonna on ZM.

ZM's Brean Clint's podcast. That's a 22-year-old banger for Tiffany. It's her birthday banger from the year 03. Madonna and Brittany, me against the music. Fun fact, that song came out after they kissed on their MTV video music awards. Oh, really? You know what? Like, directly after?

No, no, no. So the kiss happened on August 28, 2008, 2003. And that song was number one on the 28th, November 2003. Right, okay. You know what I always think? I always think about that kiss, right? I'll bet you do. But I always think about that kiss.

And the fact that she kissed Christina Aguilera first, right? Yes. And then she kissed Brittany. Yes. No one talked about the Christina Aguilera kiss. I thought she kissed Christina second and the cameras cut away. So they saw her kiss Brittany and TV was like, oh God, we cannot show two women kissing each other in the early 2000s. And so they cut away and then she kissed Christina.

That's how I remember it. Who did Madonna kiss first? This is an important historical information that we're searching up here. They should cover this in social studies or history. The kiss between Madonna and Brittany happened first, followed by the one with Christine Aguilera. I think I'm right, yeah. And then they cut to a shot of Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears's ex, who just shook his head. That's right.

Man, the 2000s were a wild time, eh? Iconic. The ZM Podcast Network. Today is a Tuesday. And on a Tuesday, we go searching for a... Name in a haystack! Random name, random business. And today, if they answer the phone, with that name,

they're going to win $2,200. We've never been successful. And yesterday we did Bree Psychic Radio, in which we've also never been successful. Are we becoming known for the least successful radio show? Look, why did you have to point that out? I know, I'm just realising it. And we've never won a radio award.

Yep. Wow. We also didn't find Channing Tatum when we went to LA. We're losing. Are we failures? Damn. Is that our brand? Yeah, but it means we're relatable.

Yeah. We're going to turn that all around today because we're going to nail it. Today's the day. Ella, what are you choosing for us? I'm choosing the name. Okay. And I'm going for a little bit of. but out there, but you know, maybe

today's the day. What is the name you've chosen? Ocean. And I have met Ocean men in my life. I know two oceans. Yeah. I know an O'Sheen. That would work. I know a Pacific. I know a Tasman. I know a Red Sea while we're at it.

No, you don't. Um... Okay. Okay, Ocean. We were trying to turn this around. No, we can't be to it. That's the whole point of the game. I'm putting my I'm vetoing it. If we get ocean. Okay, wait, okay, okay. If Clint can say he has met or knows an ocean,

I don't. Then we're not doing it. Okay, you think of a new name while Claudia gives us the business. If we call this business and the person, and the person answers, the game's over. That's on you, Bree. I'll take it. I hope you're ready to wear that.

You know what? I will take that on the chair. I think you should, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, I will be choosing the location. And today we're going to everyone's favorite. buffet restaurant, Valentine's.

Okay, I'm more of a Cobb & Coe man, but that's fine. I've never been to a valentone's. Okay, good choice, Claudia. Thank you. Ella, who works at Valentine's? Kai. That's my dog's name. Kai?

Just call the number. Why do you want us to fail? No way. I'm going out from the box. Obviously, all the names we've been doing at the moment haven't been working. Can we go with Kyle? Kyle. Kyle.

Kyle. Kyle. I'm happy with Kyle. Claudia, which she's. Which Valentine's? I'm going to the one on the North Shore of Auckland. Okay, let's go to Valentine's. If Kyle answers, you better thank me, Ella.

I will. And if Ocean answers. Then I will. Valentine's North Shore, Jamelia, speaking. Hi, Jamelia. It's Bree and Clint calling from Zidem. How are you? I'm good, thank you, and you?

We're well. We're not going to take out much of your time. We play a game called Name and a Haystack. And if your name was Kai, Kyle, or let's face it, Ocean today, you would have won $2,200. Oh, right. Does an ocean work there at Valentine's, Jamelia? No, there is no ocean.

Okay, good. Just wanted to check. Thank you so much for your time and we'll be in soon to taste the delicious buffet. No worries then. Thank you. Okay, thanks, Jamelia. What a superstar.

Also, what a niche name. I mean, it wasn't ocean though. But I was in the right, maybe I'm psychic today. I was in the right zone. When you asked her, even she was like, no. Yeah, she's like, no, of course ocean doesn't work here. She's judged us. If there's an ocean listening right now, can you text us on 9-6-9-6?

There would be, and I mean, cool name. I just don't think it is common at all. He's like, cool name. I just don't think it's a name. I've never met an ocean. No, no, I'm with you. I haven't met one. All right.

The failure continues. No, you haven't. The slide into obscurity deepens. yelling at me. Have you met an ocean? In high school. Okay, find them on Facebook to prove it. It's ZDM's Bree and Clint podcast. It's Bree and Clint. We were having a conversation today because someone brought up the

idea of the time you mentally check out of your job. Isn't that right, Ella? Yeah, one of my friends, they just said that we're in a conversation. And they're like, oh yeah, mentally like check out at 2.30. But I've been really busy at work. 2.30, though. Then I watch YouTube. Wait.

What are their work hours? Normal? Nine to five. What? 230? Oh, no. We don't have night. I think it's a little bit early.

It feels a bit early. But we don't have nine to five. No, we don't. So what's that in our time? Yeah, well, for us it would be. That'd be like us doing the show till 5.30 and then being like, oh, that'll do. We're done. Nah.

430. 430. Yeah. Yeah. 430. That'll do. We've done enough. And then just.

Just phoning it in. They're phoning it in for the rest. of the show, which I mean... Just playing 18 songs in a row. Some would argue we do. There's definitely a thing where you mentally check out, and I reckon it's healthy to have a time after which you don't reply to any emails. I like that.

Yeah. I think that's healthy as well. And if that's 430 or 445... That's 445. You know, you can gather some emails and be like, cool, I'll definitely sort those out first thing tomorrow. 3 p.m. feels fair for that. I reckon it is 3pm on a Friday. Oh yeah, definitely.

A hundred P. It's 3pm on a Friday. You've been locked out at 2 on a Friday. Can I just do a public service announcement real quick? Yes, man. If you are one of those people that sends an email or a job or a question or something, some work for someone else on a Friday after 3 o'clock, get in the bed. No, I've had it with those people. You can send it, but don't expect a report.

apply from me until Tuesday. No, no, and this is the thing. I want you to start the email. No, I want you to put the subject line as, don't reply to this now. I know, like, you know, make it known that they don't have to. I'm getting this off my plate, but this is for you, Monday, Tuesday, it's fine. Should we all agree that lunchtime on a Friday is the cutoff?

Yeah, feel. Yeah, I think that's good. That's when you go to the pub, right? Get it into me by lunchtime on a Friday. That's the cutoff. Someone's texting, they said, I'm a plumber. And look, these tradies start early. They're more of a 7.30 to 4 kind of operation.

And he said, I'm a plumber. I actually mentally check into work at about 10. And then I'm frantically trying to get more done in the afternoon, which causes me to work late because I was really checked out all morning. Yeah, right. So you're creating a backlog for yourself early in the day. Whereas if you get in and go hard early, then you can do what Ella's friend does

and just get on YouTube for the last two and a half hours. My fellow ADHD is that listing. I feel like as an ADHD person, we have a certain amount of mental capacity per day, right? And I know for me, once I've reached it, and there's no coming back for me. You've spent all your attention tokens. I've spent it all and I need to go off, have some time to myself. Not in that way.
