You tapped it, so we're playing it.
It's Zidim's Brean Clint, the podcast.
Zidim's Brean Clint, thanks to KFC.
Zidim's Brean Clint, there's no raise I'd rather be.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Welcome to the Brean Clint Show.
Hello, guys.
Happy Monday.
A little bit of a sad Monday, though, here.
Why?
First show without producer Ella.
Oh, yeah.
God, you've moved on quick, haven't you?
No, it's because.
I've been at a funeral and I'm wearing funeral clothes
and so I thought you were talking about that.
Everybody I keep seeing, so I walk around the office,
every single people I see, they go,
oh, you're looking nice today.
And then I have to go, thanks, I've been at a funeral.
And then they go, oh God, oh, I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I was in one of those conversations.
It was quite awkward.
I just went to get a coffee before and the lady goes.
Your funeral clothes though, very nice.
Thank you.
I've been at a funeral.
I was getting coffee and the lady goes,
looking suave.
and I went thanks, I've been at a funeral.
She goes, oh.
So sorry.
But yes, it is also sad because Ella's not here.
Oh, yeah.
It's like a funeral.
Now I've been pulled into the vortex.
Yeah. Well, she's not dead.
She's just dead to us.
Lovely black polo you're wearing, though.
What material is that?
It's wool.
Ooh, fancy.
What's cold outside?
Marino.
Let's get into the show, shall we?
Let's just move this.
What have we got for the people, Clint?
What have we got?
Zidem's World Tour returns.
We got two chances for you to get in the draw for Zidim's World Tour this afternoon.
We could send you to Morocco.
Ooh, that's fancy.
Who would they see in Morocco?
I don't know.
Why?
Who are you going to see?
I thought like the World Tour is where they go and see like a act or something.
Okay, you'll see Morocco's leading boy band.
Morgan and the Moroccans.
We've got an activator for you at 5 to 4 and 5 to 5 if you want to get in that draw with Intrepid Travel.
We also have a double pass to Empire of the Sun up for grabs.
Listen up, millennials.
How cool is that?
We're going to do that in the 5 o'clock hour.
Yeah, when you hear Walking on a Dream, you can call 100 dollars at M and spoils over double pass.
No, don't play it.
I want you to do the little rendition.
Walking on a Dream.
It's like I'm there.
Talking to myself.
Fantastic.
What a great cover.
Will I see it again?
It gets better.
We are always walking on the thrill of it, the thrill of it.
Always pushing up that here, looking for the thrill.

So close.

That's our scores for the year.
ZDM's Brie and Clint Podcast.
I feel like we should make this a weekly segment after the stories I have been seeing of horror in-law stories.
Oh, okay.
It's a trend now online where people are taking text conversation with their horror in-law or in-laws.
Okay.
And they're turning them, they're getting AI to turn them into songs.
All right.
It's quite funny.
The story, however, is not.
I've got one for you this afternoon.
Right.
Here it is.
I am picking up the baby tomorrow.
My baby, yes.
Mark and Linda are begging to meet her.
I'm taking her to the country club.
You are not taking my month's old child to meet people I do not know.
She's my baby too.
No, she is not.
She is your grandchild.
You don't make decisions for her or make plans for her to meet random people.
You are awful.
You know that.
She's my baby, too.
That's very funny.
So a month old baby, the mother-in-law wants to take her to meet a couple of her friends that they've never met.
Yeah.
To meet them at the country club.
Yeah.
And the mum says, you're not doing that.
No, you're not.
Absolutely not.
And then the mother-in-law says, well, you're awful.
No, the best line is, it's my baby too.
It's my baby.
And she's like, no, it's not.
It's your grandchild.
It's your baby.
Yeah, that's a lot.
That's a lot.
The mother-in-law, the in-law dynamic, J-S.S.
Freudian, isn't it?
Can be tricky to navigate, can't it?
Not in my situation.
I'm very privileged to have wonderful in-laws.
Which is great.
Who I love and respect, and I feel have the same for me.
Yeah.
But not always the case.
Not always the case.
And I would love to ask you the people this afternoon,
has this happened to you?
Maybe it's from a past relationship.
Maybe it's in your current relationship.
Yeah.
Do you have a horror in-law story that you can share with us?
And look, we understand that this is a tense situation.
Yeah.
So we can keep you anonymous.
You can remain anonymous.
And we can keep them anonymous as well.
Unless you want to out them on the radio.
Which I don't know if we want to be a part of that beef.
Yeah.
You don't want to go open that canna worms.
We can give them fake names.
Yeah, true.
Like Cheryl.
Yeah.
That's believable.
Probably their real name, isn't it?
Probably 50% of the names.
Yeah, probably.
0,800 dials at Em or you can text us on 9-6-96.
Do you have a horror-in-law's story for us?
Dead is Franklin.
We're asking for your horror-in-law's stories this afternoon.
After I came across a TikTok where a mother-in-law said that she wanted to take her grandchild out
to meet random people when she was a month old.
No, no, no, no.
Don't tell the story.
Let the song recreate it for you.
I am picking up the baby tomorrow.
My baby, yes.
Mark and Linda are begging to meet her.
I'm taking her to the country club.
You are not taking my month's old child to meet people.
I do not know.
She's my baby too.
No, she is not.
She is your grandchild.
You don't make decisions for her.
Or make plans for her to meet random people.
You are awful.
You know that.
People say AI is evil.
That's a bagger.
It's quite a good use of AI.
That is a banger.
I'd listen to that.
Stella theftie would be all over that.
That's her next single, actually.
Yeah, she would cover that well.
So we want to know your in-law horror stories.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
Hello.
Good, thank you.
Tell us you have some horror in-laws.
Yeah, no, not anymore.
But at the time, yes, we didn't think much of them after that.
What did they do?
So, basically, we were on the phone.
and I was just, my father-in-law was messaging me and asking me to drop some vegetable off.
And I quickly said, oh, yeah, do that, please.
Thank you so much.
And then they didn't realize that they didn't put the phone down.
And the audio message on WhatsApp went off.
And basically they started talking about us saying that we don't do much for them
and we don't show our appreciation.
Oh, my God.
So they were having a good old bitch behind you.
you back and then it sent it to you on WhatsApp.
Oh, that is my worst nightmare.
And I always do this when, if I'm talking about someone,
I check to see that my phone is not,
I haven't accidentally rang them.
And every time I do, I'm like, no, you're being paranoid.
You're telling me anonymous it can actually happen.
It can actually happen.
I want people not to do that.
Please don't do that.
Oh, my God.
I wasn't so malicious in the end.
They did apologize to me.
And we made it right in the end.
And now we just talked about it.
Yeah, only because they got busted.
They only apologize.
because they got busted anonymous.
Wow.
Wow.
Horror in-law stories.
Someone said my mother-in-law
wore white to our wedding.
There is a long list of things
that she has done.
We keep our distance.
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
It says it all, really.
Someone else said,
my mother-in-law used to ring
and talk about her indoor gardening life
with my father-in-law.
I put a stop to those calls pretty quickly.
Oh, she thought you were besties.
I don't want to hear about that.
She's like, girl.
Let me tell you what we did last night.
With your husband's dad.
Dad.
When my baby was a reasonably newborn, I was in the bath
and my mother-in-law just rocked on in to have a chat with me.
No, don't need that.
Oh, she obviously feels comfortable with you.
Don't need that.
Someone said, my first mother-in-law caused two arguments with me
and one with my mum at my wedding to her son.
She left bruises on my arm when I tried to walk away from her.
and told my kids I was a terrible
terrible mother because I didn't
bake every week.
Oh my God.
The projection, eh?
These are horror in-law stories that you guys
have texted in.
Someone said, Anonymous, please.
This was a long time ago.
My in-laws offered to babysit.
And when we got home,
our three, five and six-year-old
were locked in the house by themselves.
They had put them to bed
and gone to their own house next door.
That one's quite...
Serious.
I was ropeable and words were said and it never happened again.
Yeah.
As in they never were allowed to babysit again?
Because I feel like that's warranted.
I hope they would back down and go, okay.
We messed up here.
Our bad.
Yeah.
That's crazy lack of...
A three, five and a six-year-old and you thought it was okay to leave them in the house by themselves.
Oh, there's some dark ones here that we can't read out.
Can I say, Rochelle, yours is too dark to read out.
But if there was a prize, you would win it.
Yeah, that one.
It's dark.
What about this?
It says, Anonymous, please.
My mother-in-law, at my wedding, told my best friend,
I don't know why he's marrying her.
He's the diamond in the rough, though, in that family.
I haven't seen the in-laws in four years.
He visits by himself each Christmas.
We've been together 23 years, married nearly 16.
He visits by himself.
The gall of the mother-in-law to go to her best friend and say that is wild.
That is crazy.
My ex-ist mum told me it was my fault that her son cheated on me.
Wow.
What about this one?
After having my daughter, my mother-in-law came around to meet her.
I was having a sleep on the sofa and my husband was prepping breast milk and cleaning the breast pump.
And she said you need to wake that lazy bee up because that wasn't his job.
Off!
Oh!
Oh!
Wow!
Wow!
Obviously he didn't take after his mum.
Yeah.
Wow.
Good stories, guys.
Some of these are just...
Some of them cannot be read out.
What about this one?
It says, my mother-in-law sat all the daughter-in-laws down to her son, so all the
daughter-in-laws, and said, I hope you are looking after my boys in the bedroom.
I got up and walked out.
Oh, my God.
I'd love to know the thought process in her mind.
She's like, okay, today's the day.
How many, how many of you?
Like, how many daughter-in-laws did she have?
That's insane.
ZD.N's brain clint.
I feel like the mood around, or our opinion on voice notes has changed substantially
in like, even the last two years.
I remember you and I having a conversation a little while ago going,
oh my God, people who send voice notes are so annoying.
Now, man, I bloody love sending a voice note.
It's so much easier than writing out a whole text,
message. It is. I feel like it's great for the person sending it. Still a bit annoying for the person receiving it, especially if you're doing like a minute long voice note. You know what I like about a minute long voice note or longer is for friends who live overseas and you don't have, you're on the same time zone. Yeah. And often, well, not often, but when you get around to it, I'll send them a big long voice note about everything that's happening in my life. And then when they get around to it, they'll send one back, you know? And then, because you can't line up the phone calls different time zones and stuff. Yeah, it's a bit hard.
Anyway, this is a fun hack to do with voice notes that we can use.
Okay.
Did you know that you can change the voice?
What?
On a voice note?
No?
This is cool.
Okay, so this is an Instagram DM.
Can you pick like a famous person's voice?
Well, let's see.
I'm going to send you a voice note, Bree.
Okay.
Okay, so it's a normal voice note.
Hi, Bree.
Just checking in to say that your bulk pack of emotium has arrived.
Oh, good.
48 tablets.
When you're ready, just pop it.
in store and collect those. Thank you.
I'm so glad they've arrived, but I've been
desperate for them. So now, how do we
want this to sound? That can come
through as a pirate.
Hi, Bree.
Just checking in to say that
your bulk pack of emotium
has arrived
48 tablets.
Not particularly piraty.
Why does it kind of sound like Vaughn?
Is Vaughan a pirate? Is he?
Should we try Grandpa?
Hang on this.
This is the same voice as Grandpa.
Hi, Brie, just checking in to say that your bulk pack of emotium has arrived 48 tablets.
That's creepy.
Isn't that good?
That's so creepy.
That can come through as a princess.
Hi, Bree.
Just checking in to say that your bulk pack of emotium has arrived 48 tablets.
Not very princessy.
I'd say more receptionisty, that one.
Yeah, that's not very Disney princess, is it?
Oh, and then we can go T-Pain, auto-tune mode as well.
What does that sound like?
Hi, Bree.
Just checking in to say that your bulk pack of emotium has arrived.
48 tablets.
That's it.
That's a hit.
Just pop up in store and collect those.
Thank you.
That's a bag-up.
So all you've got to do is record the voice note and Instagram,
and then there's a little star thing that you can push,
And you can choose.
There's all kinds of different things in there.
I like it.
It scares me though.
Why?
Because I feel like someone can use that for evil.
Really?
You know, disguise their voice.
And imagine the scammers.
Yeah, right.
They'll have a field day with that and you'll think it's like your innocent,
like an innocent grandpa.
True.
Poor Bree will think she's met a wealthy grandpa.
Yeah.
Who wants to take her on a date and buy her nice things.
Which, I mean, that's my dream.
There's actually some Nigerian bloke.
It is my dream to be a sugar baby.
Yeah.
And the next minute, it's just you on the other end.
Well, if you get a DM.
Trying to steal my money again.
If you get a DM from T-Pain, just look for the blue tech, okay?
Look for the blue tech before you do anything.
Damn's Bree and Clint podcast.
Time for the tea.
This is the tea.
This was the news no one was expecting, but Lady Gaga has welcomed her first baby into the world.
I don't know Lady Gaga was having a baby.
No.
Neither did anyone.
No one knew.
She has been spotted with her fiancé, Michael Polanski, in California,
with a baby in a baby carrier on her chest.
And people are like Lady Gaga had a baby.
Wait, a normal baby carrier or like a Lady Gaga,
leather studded baby carrier.
A normal baby carrier.
Nah, that's not cool, Lady Gaga.
She has laid pretty low since wrapping her Mayhem Ball tour back in April
and hasn't really been seen in the public,
apart from, I think a fan ran into her and took a photo,
but the photo was very cropped.
But no details yet on birth date of baby, gender, name.
We got none of that.
We just have the photos of her with the baby.
So anyone made the joke about it being a little monster yet?
Yeah, no, that's happened.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyone made a joke about her being mother monster?
Yep, yep.
No, that's been done.
What about she, what did they say?
She is mother?
Yep.
Yeah, that's been done.
Yep.
Yeah, right, okay.
Also, jokes about the baby being born this way.
Oh, it's born this way?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which way?
We don't know.
Born which way?
We don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
None of those details.
Hopefully not breach.
I'm so excited that I have a baby the same age as Lady Gaga.
Yeah.
There's a lot of similarities between her and I.
Italian?
Yep.
Stephanie.
We both have that name in our name.
Oh yeah, you do too.
And she's also getting married next year, same.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yep.
What else?
Can we get a fourth?
Love's a gay bar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah, that's about it.
Okay, cool.
Anyway, I'm very excited for her and her fiancé.
This was some audio I remembered from an interview she did with Stephen Colbert.
last year.
You've continued to act.
Is that something you want to continue to pursue?
Would you like to do Broadway?
I would like to do many things.
Yeah, I mean, all of these things are open.
But what I really want is to be a mom.
That's my next starring role, I hope.
I love her so much.
It's not called a whisper in interviews,
if I was interviewing someone and they were like,
that's a really good question, Clint.
Do you reckon she was whispering?
What?
What?
Listen.
You've continued to act.
Is that something you want to continue to pursue?
Would you like to do Broadway?
I would like to do many things.
Yeah, I mean, all of these things are open.
Maybe.
What I really want is to be a mom.
That's my next starring role, I hope.
Maybe she was conserving her voice.
Yeah.
Oh, way to bring down the mood on Lady Gaga's baby youths.
Geez.
We didn't give me...
Clint and I are both very happy for Lady Gaga.
We are. We send our regards.
We're sending a...
Name? What do you reckon the name's going to be?
Gavin.
Something really normal.
Imagine.
Yeah, yeah.
Imagine it's just like a run of the mill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Kelly.
James.
James Gaga.
That's the T.
The ZDM Podcast Network.
Election time, in it.
All those ugly billboards are going up around the country.
Visual pollution, if you ask me.
Bit of an eyesore in each suburb, aren't they?
But necessary, I guess, to get the message out there.
Some of them do it better than others.
Have you ever, have you ever driven past and went,
oh, that billboard has just gotten my vote?
No, in fact, I think the risk is the opposite.
Like, you're more likely to go, that's a bad billboard.
Not going to vote for you.
If I had to say what the worst ones are this year,
I think the Labor Party using pink in their billboard is confusing.
I think Chloe Swarbrick on the Greens Party billboards kind of,
she kind of dressed like a, like she's just landed as an early settler in the
country and maybe she's like a missionary
settling one of the villages and the
National Party billboard
they just look like the stiffest
people on the planet.
I feel like they all look the same though.
They've been really, the way they've been clear cut
in Photoshop on the National Party
ones. You know what really
would have got people talking
for the National one? They should have
AI'd hair onto Christopher Luxem.
You know?
Like do something different.
Luxon, the way they've clear cut them,
Luxon's particularly thumby.
Very thumby.
There's a MP by the name of Ryan Hamilton in the news today.
And, you know, look, this publicity, he's getting, he's getting their time out of this.
He is running in the upcoming general election.
And most, like most politicians and aspiring politicians, he has had his billboards vandalised Brey.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Now, they're very, the...
What have they gone with?
Have they gone with the blacked out tooth or the mustache or the devil?
horns what they're gone for?
No, they've gone with a four-letter word
on Ryan's billboard.
I can guess what that word is.
Don't take it from me. Take it from a video
that Ryan Hamilton has posted
on his Facebook page today.
See you next Tuesday.
Real funny. Just beside a sign that's been tagged.
Someone probably comes around
in the middle of night in the shadow of darkness
coward with a hoodie on and the spray paint can.
Why don't you give me a call or an email
and we'll talk about it instead of being a coward's.
Because I've got plenty more signs.
I'm not going to be inseminated by it.
So I'm going to keep coming.
We're determined to fix the basics and build the future.
That's the first time I've heard a politician sound like he wants to fight someone.
Holy smokes.
He sounds like that was a one-outs.
I think Ryan might be a bit but-heard over it.
Coward?
You coward?
How dare you?
You coward?
How about you come and say it to my face?
did you not realize that putting up a billboard meant it was going to get tagged?
That is literally what happened.
I don't think he did.
With that,
by the sound of that video,
I think he's very hurt by it.
I like the idea of,
won't you sound to my face?
Yeah, go on.
Or send me an email.
I bet you're a coward though,
so you wouldn't do that.
In the darkness of the night,
you come out here with your sprake heads.
One of the great clips.
We shouldn't mar.
Oh, no, we should.
Hey, we've had billboards of us deface.
We have.
Most, very creative and funny.
And you know what stands out more than a billboard?
A defaced one.
A defaced billboard.
Yeah.
I mean, we wouldn't be talking about him unless this was happening.
The best part of this whole thing, though, is that Ryan Hamilton is the MP for Hamilton East.
How good.
So, once again, we are asking you, New Zealand, does your name match your job?
So good.
Ryan Hamilton from Hamilton?
I mean, it's perfect.
Ryan Hamilton, the MP for Hamilton.
What would make it even more perfect is if he was starring in like a small community.
Production.
Production of Hamilton.
Of Hamilton.
Yeah, that would make it even more crem d'a crim.
Ryan Hamilton in Hamilton from Hamilton, MP for Hamilton.
Yeah.
That would be fantastic.
Some examples, some thought starters for five.
These are real people, by the way.
There is quite a well-known expert gardener
and author of several gardening books here in New Zealand.
His name, Jonathan Spade.
Love it.
It's the perfect job for him.
It is.
There's a woodwork teacher at Tainui Intermediate.
Oh, it used to be in Tokoroa.
His name, Mr. Forrest, the woodwork teacher.
So good.
Bonus.
He also had a wooden leg.
No.
Did he really?
That's a real story.
And I wonder if he made it himself.
Oh!
He could have.
Yeah.
And each year the task for the year 11s was make me a new leg.
Yep.
Who can make me the best leg?
The best leg gets worn by me for the next 12 months.
I'll never forget.
And I mean, he's still around.
He's still with us.
But one of my dad's friends from back in the day was a firefighter.
Yep.
First name Gary.
Second name hose.
No.
Gary Hose.
You know, there's a name for this.
What is it?
It's something like normative determinism
where you are exponentially more likely to do the job that your name suggests.
Like subconsciously.
Yeah, yeah.
Like if your last name is Baker,
you've got a way higher chance of growing up to be a baker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like if your last name is...
No.
I feel bad for the strippers of the world.
Yeah, yeah.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
profession.
Yeah.
But, you know, you're destined.
What other job?
Drug dealer.
Yeah, that's quite a common Scottish name.
Is that?
Yeah.
Drug dealer.
I think this is how it's pronounced.
It's ZAM's Breeneclint podcast.
Ryan Hamilton from Hamilton is upset because his billboards have been defaced.
He's an MP.
He's called them out.
He's called them cowards.
And to come and say it to his face.
Or write a.
in an email.
So we asked, does your name match your job?
Just on the billboard thing.
Yeah.
I said before that we have billboards.
Yep.
And we're used to them getting defaced as well.
Someone said, I feel every time I see your guy's billboards, that show looks average.
I won't be listening.
Well, what are you doing here now?
And you're listening?
Yeah.
Are you saying our show is better than our billboards?
Someone who's seen Ryan Hamilton's billboard said, the funny thing is that billboard is right.
outside the university and it gets tagged
every lunchtime. So in broad daylight.
So that's why he's so upset. Because he
was saying that the cowards must go
in the darkness of night. In a hoodie.
Yeah. Yeah. And no,
turns out. I reckon it's the wrong
place for a billboard then. I think
they're trying to tell you something.
We asked as your name, Max, your job. Someone said
my name is Harmer and my family are
farmers. Love that. The Harmer Farmers.
What are they farming?
Harmers. My name is Max Ler.
Law, I'm a cop in Arrowtown.
Oh, Max Law.
You should be either a cop or a lawyer.
Yeah, you could be either all.
Max Law, Attorney at Law, you'd hire.
Max Law is such a great name.
It is, isn't it?
It's a famous person's name.
What about this?
I work at a sawmill, and my boss's name is Nick Wood.
That's good.
World Champion, New Zealand Arborist with the name Scott Forrest.
That's good.
Yeah.
When they say World Champion.
It should be Scott D.
Like New Zealand arborist?
Yeah.
What are they doing?
Is that like wood chopping?
Yeah, I imagine it's those guys who go up and, what, do you race to take down a tree?
Yeah, like, do you climb the tree and chop it up the top?
Like, I don't, what is the world champion arborist?
The fastest arborist, I guess.
Yeah.
My name is Cure.
My parents were quite disappointed that I became a bus stripper and not a doctor.
Clint asked me, what's a bus stripper?
And he was picturing like a pole on like a public transport.
Bus.
Not public.
No.
Like a party bus.
And I said, I'm pretty sure it's the people that strip the ads off the back of the buses and the sides of the buses and stuff.
Bree told me about a party bus.
She went on and they got an 18-year-old male stripper on the bus.
That was this year.
You used the words buzzkill.
I said to him when he got on the bus, I said, are you of age?
Like, I thought he was underage and I felt real awkward about it.
He goes, no, I'm 18.
And I was like, oh, that makes it better.
Can you grow any facial hair?
He didn't have one hair on his body.
Yeah, I just don't want to.
Other than his eyebrows and eyelashes.
Does your name Matthew, match your job?
Someone said, the ultimate version of this is Usain Bolt being the fastest man alive and his
surname being Bolt.
It was the perfect name.
That's his real and last name, isn't it?
Yeah, I believe so.
I believe so, yeah.
Is it, Claudia, can you check?
Can you check if you, it's his real last name?
Someone said, surely the harmers that are farmers, farm, farm,
Lamas.
Oh, the hamas that are farmers of llamas.
The harma-lama farmers.
Yeah.
Hi guys, my maiden name used to be Emma Wood, and I'm a gardener, and my brother is a builder.
That's good.
Yeah, it's good.
Someone said, my boss's last name is Shearer, and she is our manager for PGG Wool.
Shear.
Yeah.
Good Sheela, Shearer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My good friend's name is Zach.
fell and he owns a company called tree tops arborists.
I know Zach fell.
He came to do our tree at our house.
God, that's not a good name for a...
Zach fell.
No, it's the perfect name for an arborist.
That's what an arborist does.
I was thinking that he, like, fell from the tree.
No, that's Zach fall.
Yeah, fell.
Gotcha.
He fell's a tree.
Zach fall.
Yeah.
Terrible name for an arborist.
Someone said, I worked with a guy called Ben Gardner.
He was a mechanic.
No, I'm just kidding.
It says he's a gardener.
If you guys like the harma farmers, you'll love the Rama Rama Rama.
Who's that?
Wait, there's a llama farmer and ramarama.
Who the hell?
Called the Ramahama llama farmer.
That's good stuff.
My uncle is a mechanic and his surname is Ford.
Yep.
Love it.
I've been a teacher for a long time.
The best name ever was Helen Beard.
What?
Helen Baird.
Helen Baird.
I don't get that one.
What about this?
I'm an amenity horticulturist.
horticulturalist
and my horticultural manager's last name was flower.
Yeah.
That's spot on.
They could have been a few things.
Flower.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My last name was McDonald's.
When I was looking for a job as a teenager,
I made it my mission not to apply at McDonald's.
Oh, come on.
Why not?
I reckon you go to the front of the queue.
Nah, best thing ever, go get a job at KFC.
The Rama Rama Lama Farmer.
That's a radio jingle if I'd ever heard one.
It's ZM's Breinclin podcast.
We're looking for a small-town big deal.
Breanclin's small-town big deal.
I know one, I know one.
Who?
Me.
Well, yeah, actually, odds on, it is you.
This is where we take turn calling each other's hometown
to see if anyone there remembers of us.
Neither of us have lived in our hometowns for many years.
Many years.
Many years.
That doesn't mean that they don't remember us, right?
But we're loyal to the soil.
But are they loyal to us, you know?
I like that tagline.
Loyal to the soil.
Ten toes down.
It's your turn.
So we're going to call country Queensland.
Okay.
There's an issue because we've been doing this game for quite a while now.
Yes.
We may have run out of businesses in Stanthorpe.
We may have called every local business in that town.
So today we're taking a short drive to Toowoomba, okay?
Neighboring town, or as you like to call it, the beach.
smoke.
Yep.
And we'll see if anyone in Toowoomba has heard of you instead.
Oh, I don't like my odds.
We are calling the Irish Hotel.
Okay.
Asking if they've heard of Brianna.
I love the Irish.
Thomasel.
You got the Irish.
This is Adam.
Gidey, Adam.
How you going?
Good, buddy.
What can I do for you, me?
Just a real quick question for you.
I just need to know.
Have you guys in at the Irish?
Have you heard of a lady called Brianna Tomicel?
No.
No?
Do the mum and daughter bit?
know, they're from Stanthorpe.
You know Stanthorpe?
Yep.
She's sobering Stanthorpe.
She's Diane Tomicell's daughter.
Yep.
No, I'm not familiar, sorry.
Not familiar?
She's, I just got a catch sign.
Oh, Brianna.
You've ever seen those videos before?
I've no idea what you're talking about.
Sorry.
No, no, clearly.
That's okay.
Brie Thomasel.
Last chance, Breed Tomicel.
You don't know that one?
Come on, Adzi.
You haven't got a VP.

Sorry, but, so what's going to, hang, I'm just going to save a customer.
I'll wait in a moment.
No, so I'll let you go.
You have a good one.
Heru, all right, see ya.
That one's done.
He was confused and mad.
Yeah, he was like, what the hell are you guys wasting my time with now?
And you know what, people in Irish bars, normally got a lot of time for you.
Not today.
That's how annoying that was.
Not today.
That's my third loss in a row.
To be fair, we weren't in your town.
But you really took a swing for the fences there.
Well, I need a spreadsheet of businesses that remain.
Mate, we haven't called the post office in Stathorpe yet.
You reckon they know you at the post office?
I'm positive they know me at the post office.
All right.
Yeah.
When it's my turn next, can we call the Stanthor Post Office please?
Tell her to come and collect their bloody mail.
She got parking tickets up the wazoo.
Play ZDM's Brie and Clint.
Most of the time I'm on TikTok and I'm scrolling and I'm scrolling.
And, you know, it's a bunch of videos.
I don't take much notice until a video stopped me in my tracks.
Oh, okay.
And I couldn't help but watch this video a couple of times.
And then I was led to these people's profiles.
And I was absolutely a taking aback with the talent.
Right.
The TikTok I'm talking about is called Mum and Me Busking.
Right.
And it's of a mum and a daughter.
The daughter's age nine
And they sing together
And it's absolutely amazing
Take a listen
That's a lot of
And they join us on the phone
She's on the phone right now
Hello girls
Hi!
Hi!
Oh my God, I feel like Ellen DeGeneres uncovering a super talented child right now.
I feel like these are the next big artist in New Zealand.
Ellie, you're incredible.
Thank you so much.
How long have you been singing for, Ellie?
Well, I started busking around last, the end of lunch year, but singing,
oh, probably since I was around about four.
Mom always taught me.
I listened to her singing.
Yeah.
This is pretty cool, because I've talked to you a little bit on the socials,
and Jessie, you and Ali go around New Zealand busking.
Yeah, that's right.
We were heading on a trip up north.
I was actually taking Ali to go and visit my grandparents,
her great-grandparents up north in Fungara and the Udu Par.
And then I said to Al, should we just bust on the way up?
And it's kind of eventuated from there, really.
Oh, my God.
That's so cool.
Did it cover your gas money for the trip up?
Yeah.
Wow.
It actually covered all our hotels.
No way!
You must be good then.
Ellie, where do you reckon is the most generous place in the country to busk?
Who's got the most money?
Oh, I'm going to say Naruawahia or Auckland.
Naruahuahia?
Yeah.
Good to know.
That's where you guys are from, right?
Yes.
That's amazing.
What are your favourite artists to cover, Ellie?
I quite enjoy...
You're right into Madonna.
Yeah, I go to Madonna and Cindy Lohan.
Cindy Lauper.
Cindy Lauper?
Yes, yes.
And newer singers I like to sing some Justin Bieber, Billy Eilish.
I like to sing new songs.
Sometimes I sing one direction.
I've seen your page.
You guys can really do it all.
You would clean up on the wedding scene.
Yeah, we'd be like official wedding singers.
It'd be hilarious.
We just enjoy singing all genre.
Are you all good, Jessie, because you're the mum.
Are you all good being the backup singer?
Because I feel like Ellie's got the limelight here.
I realize she's really, she's the star of the show.
I absolutely am.
I think I was nearly ready to hang the microphone up, to be honest.
And then she came along and re-sparked a little, you know, something in there.
So I'll hang around for as long as she'll have that.
No offense.
She's Nicole Scherzinger and you're the Pussycat Dolls.
Yes, I'll take it.
Yeah.
It's all right.
I don't mind doing BVs for a living.
Yeah, cool.
I just think you guys are so fantastic and it's so cool to see a mum and daughter do their thing
and do something different and chase their passions.
I have a bit of an offer I'd like to throw out to you.
you guys.
Yeah.
We have a platform here at ZM and we're all, we love local talent and we love to give them
a platform.
I would love it if you guys were open to coming into the studio and doing a performance
for us and for our audience.
Oh my gosh.
Yes, please.
You'd be live on the radio, Ellie, and your performance would be broadcast around the whole
country?
Would you be okay with that?
That was amazing.
That sounds absolutely amazing.
We're just grateful to even be chatting with you guys today.
What a blessing.
I feel like you guys are born for this.
I'll bring a $2 coin.
You put the hat down.
I'll throw it in there while you're performing.
I know the deal.
Oh, cheap.
You can do a $5 note, point?
Well, I'll see how we go.
Let's sort this out.
Let's organize it.
They can do an acoustic corner at ZM.
Oh, yeah, we can get you in the acoustic corner.
We'll get the microphone set up.
We'll get it all.
It'll be your own official tiny desk.
Yes.
It'll be great.
You up for it, Ellie?
Yes.
Deal.
I'm so excited.
I'm shaking hands through the radio with you right now, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
No worries.
Can't wait to meet them later in the week.
Oh, my God.
How good's that going to be?
Imagine when she makes it big, cracks the big time.
We're going to be like, we discovered this.
Yeah, you'll be looking for a cut, won't you?
Not a big one.
On the weekend,
a friend of mine said,
hey, can you drop me to the airport?
It would save me 50 bucks.
And I said, I guess so.
I wasn't doing anything with this.
and a half of my weekend.
Yeah, it's not like I've got a six-week-old newborn at home.
Sure, I'm a good friend.
I'll step up and I'll take you to the airport.
I know the person it would have been too.
You do.
They can get a freaking Uber.
It's not even like they earn good money.
They earn good money and they're in management at the company.
Just put it on the company Uber.
Anyway, I stepped up to the plate and I was like, okay, fine.
I went and picked them up from Westmear, a very nice suburb.
in Auckland.
And...
You had to pick them up as well?
Yeah.
I picked them up.
No.
Pick them up. Door to door service.
Jeez.
Okay.
Went and picked them up.
And as we were heading back towards the highway,
I spotted from quite a while away a celebrity.
Okay.
And you know at first when you see a celebrity,
I'm talking like quite a big name celebrity out in the wild.
Yeah.
My brain initially went, that looks like,
such and such.
Yeah.
And then as...
But the rational part of your brain goes,
no, there's no way.
There's no way.
There's no way.
And as we got closer, I was like,
oh, nope, that is them
because there's this celebrity partner
standing next to them.
Oh, you got the double?
Got the double spotting.
Okay.
As we were driving,
I spotted
Hollywood celebrity
Tyke Waititi
and his partner,
Rita Orra.
You said it was going to be
disappointing than it is.
Hey!
Hey!
I would say they're big time celebrity.
No, they are.
Have you seen Tyker in the wild with Rita?
Yes.
Where?
Lots of places.
Play in touch.
I have.
Where?
Playing touch at Cox's Bay.
Well, whose party was that?
Why wasn't it I invited to that party?
Sounds like a good time.
Yeah, right.
Okay, yeah, okay.
Let's put it into perspective here.
Yes, they are Hollywood A-listers.
Hollywood A-listers.
Saw them.
But they're our Hollywood A-Listers.
listers. So? I've never seen them in public. I've heard that they live around Point Shev.
Guys, I saw a Grammy award winning musician and you're like, oh my God, who? And you go, Lord, and you go,
I'd still be pretty excited about that. Would you? Yeah, remember that time? I couldn't
shut up about seeing her at that cafe in Ponsonbury. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Whereas people who
go to that cafe are like, oh, she comes here all the time. Yeah, but still exciting for me.
Yeah.
And even more exciting, I saw these A-list celebrities, Tyca Waititi, and Rita Oura doing very normal people things.
Okay, what were they doing?
They were lugging their suitcases and Tyca was tetracing them in the back of the car like we all do.
An Uber or was it his own car, you reckon?
Can't be sure.
What sort of car was it?
It looked like an expensive SUV.
Okay, could have been this.
Yeah, it could have been.
but I mean I thought that was pretty cool
I remember my A-list celebrity encounter
outside of like doing an interview or something
I was on a flight back from Los Angeles
and Anna Pacquin was on the flight
Yeah that's pretty cool
By herself, well not by herself
But solo parenting on the flight with her twins
Oh that poor woman
And she had to get
And they were toddlers at this stage
First class or even less
No
Because she needed to sit in a row
of three.
So she had to sit back in Povow class with the rest of us.
Cattle class.
Yeah.
So that she could have the row of three seats because they don't have that.
And you don't want screaming babies.
But I was like, oh my God, do not pick one.
And so no pick one's on the park.
Let's feel a pick one from true blood.
One of my favourites that I remember from my very early days in radio is I got word that
Lady Gaga was coming in for an interview.
And this was early days for her.
But I mean, Just Dance was out and it was huge.
And I had turned up to the station late, so she had left, and I was devastated about it.
And they said, oh, she might be, because where the station was, it was attached to this shopping center, this particular station.
Right.
And they said that apparently her and her team had asked where they could go get a bit of food, a bite to eat.
Oh, okay.
And they told them that if they walk across this bridge area, they could get to the shopping center and there's a food court in there.
And I was like, stuff it.
Did you see Lady Gaga
at her a St. Pierre's sushi?
I saw Lady Gaga with, I believe it was a Chinese fried rice.
Oh, okay.
From the food court at the shopping centre.
Yeah.
And that's just a classic Lady Gaga.
I mean, she's a woman of the people.
We don't want your regular celeb sightings this afternoon.
We want to see, we want your celeb sightings of celebs doing normal things.
Yeah.
You know?
Who's the celebrity that you saw, but they were doing completely normal people things?
And you're like, oh my God, Gwyneth Paltrow is just like us.
Yeah, she's taken out the rubbish.
Yeah.
She's at discount day at Gull, getting her 12 cents off a leader.
I mean, you're not going to miss that.
Dead is Franklin.
Over the weekend, I made an A-list celebrity sighting.
As I was driving through the suburbs of Auckland, I saw Tyca Waititi and his Mrs.
Retora packing their car with big suitcases.
As New Zealand's leading Rita Aura impersonator.
Hello, it's me, Rita Orra.
That was weird.
They must have been like seeing Superman and Clark Kent in the same place.
Yeah.
I mean, I tried to yell out to her out the window, but I thought better not.
So we asked, did you see a celebrity doing a normal thing?
Abby's here.
Hi, Abby.
Hi, Abby.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
What celebrity?
Who did you see?
She's a, you know, local, but Dan Carter.
Yes.
He came, so I was working at a pet food shop at the time.
Yeah.
And he was like the rest of us was buying pet food.
Yeah.
Love that.
You don't expect Dan Carter to have to buy dog food, do you, Abby?
No, I feel like that should be run through the all-black.
Yeah, they should be doing it.
I need to know, Abby.
Was he buying the top-quality food or was he a bit of a sting?
Yes.
I was working at a bougie raw feeding shop.
DC from memory has a very cute Swedish velhund.
Oh, he didn't have his dog with him.
Yeah.
I've seen this dog on the gram, Swedish velhound.
Oh, adorable.
Oh, adorable.
And 10 out of 10 breed knowledge, Clint.
But anyways, the issue was that I saw, well, I saw a customer and I was chatting to him like a regular person buying dog food.
And then I asked for his phone number for the receipt.
Yeah.
For it in his account.
Yeah.
And I look at it and I go, holy shit.
And then out loud, I go, oh, my God, it's Dan Carter.
Yeah.
Everybody turns and looks at me.
Oh.
More like, oh my God, I just got Dan Carter's phone number.
13 year old me was screaming
Abby between us did you secretly save the number in your phone?
Yes no I should have I should have
And all I was able to figure out what to say to him
Because I was shocked and can't live and recognize him
My mom has a really big crush on you
He would love that
It's perfect
Sandra's here, hi Sandra
Hi Sandra
Hi yeah
You saw a celebrity doing a normal thing Sandra
I did
It was a head-turning moment
My husband and I were
and our kids were in an amusement arcade in the States in Santa Monica.
Okay. We were looking at, my husband and I were looking at each other going, is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, is that Nicholas Cage?
Whoa.
Well, I was Nicholas Cage with his wife and little child and they were just playing ski ball, like a normal couple.
That's so cool.
And embarrassing me, so we did go up to him and ask for a photo and he was amazing. He was absolutely lovely chance.
Oh, that's good to hear.
Are you sure it wasn't Nicholas Kaye?
playing a version of Nicholas Cage?
You know what?
He does speak like Nicholas Cage.
Yeah.
Be sure it wasn't John Travolta in that movie Face Off?
Yeah, do you know what I mean?
Like he does speak like himself on the movie.
Amazing.
That's a good one.
That's such a good one.
Justine's here.
Hi, Justine.
Hi, Justine.
Hello.
Who was the celebrity you saw doing a normal thing?
So, after uni, I worked at a Skefield in the States in California.
And we had a number of celebrities come through, Adam Sandler,
the funny guy from Full House that I can't remember the name of,
not Uncle Jee or Daddy.
Uncle Joey.
Yeah, the one that cheated on Alanis Morissette.
What an idiot.
Yeah.
But the best one was I sold her tickets to a group of people,
and the woman went and paid and her card declined.
I was like, yeah, no.
And so the guy sent forward, handed his card over.
I looked at it, and it said Justin Timbley.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
Sign this credit card receipt.
That went in my pocket, not in the tilt.
Justine.
Incredible.
That's amazing.
We asked, did you see a celebrity doing a normal thing?
Someone said, we saw Richie McCaw getting groceries.
Again, you don't expect Richie McCourt
to have to do his own groceries, do you?
No.
What about this?
I saw Leonardo DiCaprio in line for a coffee in Queenstown.
Queenstown's like another world.
Isn't that?
You know?
Because it is New Zealand, but it's also.
also not New Zealand.
How crazy is that?
Leonardo DiCaprio is a list.
Jamie Dornan from 50 Shades of Grey is in Wellington right now
and I saw him hitting leg day at Simplicity Fitness the other week.
He looked very normal.
Well, I'd feel so bad about myself if I turned up to the gym
and he's like, I'm waiting for Jamie Doren to do his set.
I'm like, oh God, can you hurry up, man?
Billy Connolly, a long time ago, eating ice cream walking in the Wellington CBD.
So good.
Iconic, that's great.
Someone said, I got to serve Sir Anthony Hopkins out for a wee dinner date with his wife
in a little restaurant in Invercargol when he was here filming the world's fastest Indian.
That's so cool.
That's amazing.
Jack said I want a trip to Jason Dorolo live in Sydney and I ran into Prince Harry at 4am at the Star Casino at the Pocys.
Amazing.
But I didn't know it was him.
That's incredible.
How sure are you that it was Prince Harry and it was not just some ginger.
guy. Oh, Prince Harry having a slap on the pokies, eh? But at 4 a.m. in a casino, it could
have been anyone. It could have been anyone. Yeah, it really could have been. I saw Mike McRobberts
doing shitty parking in Kelston and pissing people off. Someone else said, I saw Mark Zuckerberg
walking his dog in San Francisco. Like a robot. I wonder if he had a, like a, I just
picture him to have security around him all the time. I saw Brett McKenzie from Flight of the Concords at
the breakfast buffet at the Quarters a couple of weeks ago.
We were toasting our bread together.
My friend walked past and whispered in my ear,
You're standing next to Brett McKenzie?
And I hadn't realised.
I wanted to fan out, but my friends wouldn't allow it.
I had to play it cool like a regular Kiwi.
Yeah, nice.
What about this?
I saw Rachel Hunter buying a meat pie.
Sick.
The only thing to be better than that would be Rachel Hunter buying a trumpet.
I saw Austin Butler getting cash out of an ATM on Ponsonbury Road in Auckland.
That's amazing.
What film did Austin Butler do in New Zealand?
I don't know.
What about this?
I spotted Johnny Knoxville at the beach in Malibu
whilst on holiday with my family.
He was holding up a towel for a girl
who I assume was his daughter
while she was getting dressed.
That's cute.
I saw Josh Thompson from seven days at the chemist
and I thought I knew him
and I awkwardly went over to say hi.
And then I went,
oh, sorry, I've just realized that you're not my friend.
You're a famous person.
Someone else said I saw Stanley Tootchy on the London Tube.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
I saw Lewis Capaldi sweating like everyone else getting off the tube in London.
Oh, relatable.
Yeah.
Someone said my ex-partner was in Tony's Steakhouse and David Bowie got a siggy of her and bought one back the next day for her to her stall in Cook Street.
Tony Steakhouse.
Wait, so David.
My favourite steak restaurant in Auckland.
Across the road from the new train station.
He's bummed a siggy off of someone there and then bought one back to her the next day.
That wins.
That wins.
That's pretty cool.
Z-Dems, Brinclent.
Bringin'clock.
All I want from my birthday to the birthday banger.
Here we go, your birthday banger's number one song's when you turn 16.
Let's see what we get today.
Otto's going to do mum's birthday banger.
Gay, Otto.
Hi, Otto.
Hi.
How old are you, mate?
I'm 12.
You're 12.
and you're here to do mum's birthday banger.
What's mum's birthday?
She is the 27th of May 1980.
All right, Otto.
That means your mum was 16 in 1996.
And here's her birthday banger.
Ah, banger.
Oh, yeah.
Tupac and Dr. Dre.
Do you reckon your mum would be into that, Otto?
Oh, yeah, 100%.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
All right, wait there.
We're going to do a birthday banger for Thomas.
Kura Thomas.
Hi, Thomas.
How's it going?
Good, thank you, mate.
You've had a good Monday?
Yeah, can't complain, day off.
Oh, what?
Oh, okay.
How come you had the day off?
I just don't work the Mondays.
Oh, I like that, Siri.
How bloody good is that?
Hey, what is your birthday, mate?
23rd March, 1993.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2009.
And on that day in 2009, this was at the top.
Oh, do you like it, Thomas?
Oh, be honest.
but the misses will.
Yeah.
Yeah, the misses will be well into it.
I like it.
No, you don't.
Yes, I do.
No, you don't.
That's a classic from Taylor Swift.
It's played out.
You reckon it's overplayed?
I don't know.
I reckon it's a classic from her.
Let's go to Deborah.
Hi, Deborah.
Hi, Deborah.
Hello, how are you guys?
Good.
How's your day being?
Good, good.
What have you been doing, Deborah?
Yeah, Debra.
What have you been up to, eh?
No, just working, nothing too much.
I have an answer about why Austin Butler
was in Auckland.
Oh, go on.
Yeah, because someone said they saw him at an ATM in Ponsonby.
Yeah, he was filming a TV series called The Shinarah Chronicles,
and then he dated Vanessa Hudgens.
What?
She was filming in New Zealand at the same time.
Wow.
Okay, all of that went over our head.
What year would this have been, Deborah?
And how do you know?
Did you work on the production?
No, I watched the show, and then I googled it.
So it was kind of when he wasn't really that famous.
Yeah, right.
It was about 2016 or 17.
Okay.
All right.
Thanks for the Intel, Deborah.
We appreciate it.
I love that you, Deborah, was listening and you're like, I know why it was here.
It's my specialist category.
Thank you.
What's your day to birth, Deb?
15th of March, 1980.
All right, that means you was 16 in 1996.
And on that day, this was number one.
Oh, yeah.
Oasis Wonderwall.
They are at the moment teasing another.
World Tour for 2027.
Are you a fan, Deb?
I'm a fan of that song, not necessarily of them,
but that particular song definitely takes me back to some good night.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to choose between two 90s bangers in Dr. Dre and Oasis
and Taylor Swift's love story.
What are you choosing?
Wonderwall.
Love story.
Claudia, what's the winner?
Oh, I feel like I've got so much power right now.
You can choose all three.
Any.
Any?
Or Wonderwall.
I feel like you can't pass up Wonderwall when it comes around, you know?
I mean, they're all good.
I was happy with Annie.
Deb, you just won birthday banger.
Woo-hoo.
Whoa.
Thank you.
I hope they choose New Zealand for their tour this time.
I have a funny feeling they won't, which will be devastating.
Here it is.
From 1996, it's Oasis on ZM.
Today is going to be the day that they're going to throw it back to you.
Z&M's Breed and Clint podcast.
A lot of bad press for AI, I feel like.
Especially in the last week or so.
What's the last week or so?
There's a whole bunch of high up execs and a couple of the big ones who are resigning
because they have said that.
This is dangerous.
Yes.
I have seen those headlines.
Yes.
They said the way that it is going.
They're like, this is bad news for the world.
It's not safe for people and I don't want anything to do with it.
Well, this might add to that bad news.
I definitely feel like it does.
New data has found that two in five people were open to swapping human intimacy for AI relationships.
Two in five?
Two in five.
It says 17% admitted to already having done so.
Gen Z, so those aged between 14 and 29,
led the charge in these results with almost one in three
in a relationship with an AI bot.
What?
Yeah?
According to these results.
In a relationship with an AI.
In a full-on relationship with an AI bot.
A third, so 31% of those dating,
said they have used AI.
Oh, this is different.
That's fine.
Said they've used AI to optimize their dating profiles, but that's fine.
That's different.
Everyone's doing that.
Yeah.
But the alarming statistics for me are just how many people are actually dating.
Dating a robot.
Yeah.
It's like it is literally that movie that Joaquin Phoenix was in.
Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlet Johansson was the voice of the AI and he was in a full-blown relationship.
Yeah.
How, I've got to be my...
too judgmental. It's my new thing. I'm trying not to be such judgmental.
You're struggling though, aren't you?
Oh, wow. What a wonderful opportunity for people to feel love from a computer.
Here's the thing. Does your AI girlfriend still get mad at you if you go out with the boys?
No.
Right. But what if it did?
Well, actually, I don't, how am I supposed to know? I haven't dated an AI bot.
Does your AI girlfriend...
I would say though, in my experience of using AI, AI is always on my side.
Yeah.
I've never...
Yeah, there's a real...
You're right, there's a real sort of...
You know, I've never been met with pushback from my AI.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
My AI's never told me to pull my head in.
If you said to AI, should I get a bob, it would go, wonderful idea.
I support this.
You have the facial structure to support this.
Which is a lie.
Like, no one does unless you're bloody...
Who's got a good Bob?
Um,
um,
um,
um,
um,
um,
who's got a good Bob?
Who does that?
Margo Robbie?
I mean,
she could pull it off.
It's a lob.
Oh,
it's scary.
Two and five seems crazy.
That seems outrageous.
No,
two in five said that they would.
Oh,
would.
Would.
And then the other statistic was
Gen Z.
They just haven't met the right AI yet.
Gen Z,
which is those age between 14 and
29,
said that,
one in three was already in a relationship with an AI bot.
Oh, well, that's worse.
Yeah, it is worse.

Big train news.
You've been on the new train yet?
Not yet.
I don't want to go on the new train.
I wanted to wait a little bit for, you know, die down because I feel like it would have been packed.
I don't reckon it's going to die down.
I reckon it's just it now.
I reckon this is it.
I reckon this is it. That's what they want.
This is it.
And there's so many ways they're trying to get you on the new train now, too.
Like how?
like influences riding on the train and making videos of it.
I saw Chris Parker did a video on the weekend.
Yep, slashing people's tires.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Real talk, I think they are going to bring in a congestion charge
so that you can't drive on the motorway unless you pay at certain times.
What?
To push people onto the train.
What do you mean?
They want you on the train, okay?
And this is a good way, I think, to get people on the train.
So this is the new city rail link in Auckland.
Okay, the big underground subway thing.
Have you heard of the city Ale link?
No.
So it's a passport that you get, like a card,
and you get on the train at Brittermart,
and then at each of the stops from the Altier one,
up to K Road, up to Mount Eden,
then Kings and then Morningside.
You get a free beer.
No, not a free bear.
But there's a pub at each of the stations,
and you get off and you have a beer at each of the pubs
along the new train line.
So it's like a train pub crawl.
It's a train pub crawl.
I like that idea.
Because the worst part of a pub crawl, let's be real, is the walking.
And the worst part of a train is the sobriety.
Yeah.
So this is genius.
If you get all five stamps in the passport, you get discounts and benefits at the pubs that offer it.
It's pretty good.
So you go again, I guess.
But this is five points subsidised by public transport.
No Uber.
No Uber.
Oh, I guess you've got to get home somehow.
Yeah.
Can't you catch a train?
Well, you catch a train back and you hit all the pubs on the way back.
Five pints on the train?
Yeah.
Don't tempt me with the good time.
I'll say.
One of them goes straight past Eden Park, so you could do it on the way to Eden Park for a game.
And on the way home, hit them all the way back on the way home.
Oh, to do the 10-pinter?
Yeah.
Responsibly.
Responsibly, of course.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, if you've been on the train, nine-six, six.
9 6.
What's it like?
I really want to go on the train.
Mate, we know how you do love to ride that rail.
Yeah.
So get your ass on the train, people.
That's big train news.
Chuk, chika, chica, chica, chica, chica, chica, chica, chica.
Was that me?
That was you.
What the hell?
A ZM's Breinclin podcast.
And that's the end of us for the day.
We're done.
I am keen to go home because I am ravenous.
Are you?
What a great word.
Ravenous.
I feel like it really encapsulates how you feel.
Yeah, it's a real vibe.
You know, when you are ravenous.
Me, on the other hand, I've had two lunches and two boiled eggs.
I knew you were a bit wiffy.
I know.
I went into a different room to peel them.
Did you?
The fart aroma from a pre-boiled egg in the workplace.
It's pungent, isn't it?
It is.
But it reminds me of home.
Yeah.
God, you know what I, can we?
Can we have a deviled egg party in the studio?
Oh, how good's a deviled egg?
How underrated is a good deviled egg?
I don't mind a curried egg either.
Same.
Yeah, yeah.
Both vibes.
These are all the foods we can enjoy now that our vegan producer Ella doesn't work here.
Devil Deg is the one that's wrapped in meat, eh?
No.
What's that?
Deviled eggs where they...
Oh, I'm thinking of a scotch egg.
Oh, scotch egg is also good.
Oh, yeah, where they wrap it in meat and then they breadcrumb it.
Yes.
And they deep food.
fry it. A deviled egg is where they
hard boil them and then you take
out the yolk of all of them. Yeah. And then
you put stuff with the yolk. Oh, that's a curry dig.
Oh, yeah, but just... Yeah, deviled egg, curry
deer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, same thing. Oh, the world
is our oyster. And don't get you started on oysters. The world is our egg.
See you guys tomorrow.
Boy.
