ZM's Brie and Clint
Good afternoon everybody
Happy Friday, and welcome to the Bree and Clint show,
Sands Bree for just one more day.
She's back with us on Monday.
No super sub today, no Ruby Toey.
Just us.
Just me and the gals.
Hey, girls.
What's up?
Hey, champ.
What's up?
Claudia hates gals as a greeting.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, champ.
How you doing, dude?
Hey, boss.
Hey, chicky.
Happy Friday.
Happy Friday.
Indeed, it's going to be a good Friday.
We're going to have two stabs at the Secret Sound.
Everyone who guesses it is going to win themselves a neon subscription this afternoon.
So that's bloody good.
We're also going to smash out a bunch of Friday jams before 5 o'clock.
If there's anything anyone's really feeling like hearing, it's got to be a good throwback.
But you can text it into 9-6-96.
We can work some magic.
I don't know why, but I've got Mariah Carey in my head today.
Which one?
Which one?
Too early for Christmas music?
No, not Christmas, Mariah.
That's the only one I know.
Sorry.
Sacrilege.
It's true.
Like, I would love to hear her
Ariya Carey.
Her one other song.
What, which is?
Fantasy.
Oh, I know that one.
Sweet, sweet fantasy, baby.
Is that it?
Offensively.
Close her two songs.
Close.
But that's all to come.
So Texan, if you're really feeling a Friday jam
to round out your week, we can get something happening.
But first, Trady versus Lady,
the ladies have been looking for a 69.
The whole week, actually, they stuck on
68, but today could be the day
if they do it, but not if the tradies have anything
to do with it. They're on 61, they can't
go ahead, but they can hold off the
69 for one more day.
So if you're up for it, oh, 800 dollars
and then we need a tradie and a lady
on the phones. There's 50 bucks
cash from KFC up for grabs.
Play Z-Eams, Bree and Clint.
It's
Trady versus
ladies.
Three, two, one, let's go.
Yeah, it is.
And it's the last game of the week.
The ladies are on 68, looking for 69.
The tradies are on 61.
We don't know who's going to take it out, but we will very shortly.
A lady is calling from Auckland.
She's 32.
Her daughter's 10.
They're playing as a mother-daughter duo.
Welcome to the show, Monique and McKenzie.
Hi.
Hi, guys.
Bye.
Hi.
Who's going to be the smarter one of you two?
Who's going to be the bigger asset in Tradyverse Lady?
that's hard
When it comes to music
McKenzie knows her stuff
Okay well there is a music question
in there McKenzie
so we'll be hoping for you to buzz in on that one
You guys need to beat our tradie from Hamilton today
He's 23
And he likes book versions of Game of Thrones
Welcome to the show
Riley
Hello
Are the books the same as the TV series
Like did they end the same way?
Books are way better
Books are better
They muffed to the end of that show
the last couple of seasons were garbage.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Yeah.
That's why I haven't bothered watching it.
I can't handle watching something that I know has either been cancelled or ends badly.
I'm like, why would I waste my time?
Riley, your buzzer's Trady, Monique and McKenzie Lady.
The first team with three correct answers going home with 50 bucks from KFC.
Good luck, guys.
Question number one.
The All Blacks are back in action this weekend.
Who are they playing on Sunday morning?
I'll give you a quick multi-choice.
Australia, South Africa, Argentina.
Trades.
Riley.
South Africa.
No.
Monique and Mackenzie, free guess.
Australia?
No.
Argentina.
Nobody gets the point.
Question number two.
Also the name of one of her albums,
what year was Taylor Swift born?
Lady.

Question number five. Who played... Have I got the score right, Claudio, do I?
Yeah, two tradies, one lady. Who played Rose in the film Titanic?
Oh, I don't know. She wouldn't let Jack on the door. She was also in the holiday.
Three, two, one.
Kate Winslet is who we were looking for there.
That's okay.
Question number six.

Trady.
Yes, Riley for the win.

The answer was in the question.
Hey, Monique and McKenzie, that was a good game, guys.
Sorry you couldn't pull off the win.
But Riley, you've done it for the Trades.
They needed it, and you've come through in the clutch.
50 bucks cash coming your way for the weekend.
Thank you very much.
Sweet is.
ZDM's Bree and Clint podcast.
Bree and Clint.
Bree's off.
She's back on Monday.
We were having another chat, as we do from time to time,
about awkward doppelgangers at the pub today.
Because, Claudia, you've been given another one.
It's something I realized about myself.
Oh, no, that's the worst, because that's when you know it's true.
Yeah.
Like, I don't mind getting a bad doppelganger reference from someone that I barely know.
But when you see yourself in something and you're like,
but when it's someone who knows you really well and they're like, oh my God,
has anyone ever told you you look like Stephen Seagal?
And you're like, wait, you know me.
But then for you to say it about yourself, that's a whole lot further.
I was watching a movie with my flatmates and I was literally worried
they were going to look between me and the screen and go, oh my God, that's you.
Oh, my God. I need to know who this is.
So the way that I've been wearing my hair recently, I've got more of a fringy situation.
Wait, can we guess?
Yeah, I know
Al already knows but you can guess
Claudia said this to me yesterday
and I about nearly fell off my chair
Because it's so accurate
It's uncanny
Just imagine it with the little fringe
kind of down wavy
Oh
I feel like you haven't seen
Owen Wilson
No
This is a dangerous game
But I mean not
Well I know that it's one that she doesn't want
So I feel like I've got free range
To go
Anything else
It's to do with her hair
Chad Kroger
Oh that's not bad
From Mickleback
It's rude
but not inaccurate.
The doppelganger you saw in yourself.
I look like a hobbit.
I look like Samwise Gamji.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was not the fat one who loved potatoes, was he?
He is that one.
And I look like not Frodo, but any of the other three.
Who's the third one?
So there's Samwise, there's Frodo, and who's the other one?
Mary and Pippin.
I either look like both of them or I look like Sam.
I don't look like Frodo purely because of the hair color.
But with the fringe, with the wave in my hair,
And the placement of, like, you've got little bits.
I can see Pippin.
The little bits at the front.
Like, I just, and I love Lord of the Rings.
I love the Hobbit, but I don't want to look like him.
No, you don't want to be called a Hobbit.
No.
But it's 100% accurate.
I've talked about this a lot on this show, the day that I was told that I looked like Ricky Jervais.
Yes.
I don't see it at all.
Thanks.
That's nice of you to say.
However, once it was said to me, I do see it.
To the point that I think I could do, if I shaved in a goatee, I think I could do Dave
David Brent for Halloween.
Do you want this comparison?
No.
Okay.
Especially at the time of life, too.
I thought they were going to say Calvin Harris.
You wish.
It was these two sassy gay guys and they were like, you know, me and my partner have been
saying about you for ages.
You know who you look like?
And I was like, Calvin Harris.
Yeah, and you're going Brad Pitt.
George Clooney.
Ricky Javees.
Not a compliment.
Ella, do you get compared to anyone?
Yeah, I told you, Beyonce.
Oh, that's right.
she's the spitting image
Queen B over here
guys put your phones away early
Destiny's child
to be honest not really
Catnus no no one's ever said that about you
that's an ambition not a reality
also it's Brie who claims the Jennifer
Lawrence tag she should not claim that
it's mine no
Jennifer Lawrence
Bree's always like guys it's so awkward
how people keep comparing me to Jennifer
Lawrence she's read it aura
oh yeah yeah yeah
It's a vocal doppelganger.
Can we do awkward, unfortunate doppelgangers on the phone this afternoon?
Did you get told you look like someone famous?
And it wasn't a compliment.
Do you look like the count from the Muppets?
I was going to say, Pig.
Which one's he's from?
Cammy the Frog.
Kermit.
Or what's the pig, little princess?
Miss Piggy.
Miss Piggy.
Do you look like a Muppet in general?
Oh my God, I'm actually getting told you look like Miss Piggy.
Do you know what iconic?
I would take it.
Yeah.
Miss Piggy's fantastic.
I mean, but compared to a pig.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd rather be a hobbit.
Yeah.
Dead is Franklin.
We're actually talking about unfortunate doppelgangers at the moment
after Claudia doppelgangered herself with one of the hobbits.
Or all of the hobbits.
All of parts of the hobbits.
Yeah.
Could be worse.
It's just hair-based.
It's not like...
Yeah, I don't have the same face.
You don't have hairy toes, do you?
Oh, a little bit.
Right.
You should see them, actually.
Yeah, I'll whip them out if you want.
If you did, if you did, would you shave your toes?
No.
I shave my spikies.
I shave my toes.
Do you?
Yeah.
Shut, girl.
Well, it's normal.
I guess you were.
Is it?
I don't know.
I'm out of my depth here.
We asked about your unfortunate doppelganger that you've been given, and Jess is here.
Hi, Jess.
What do you get, Jess?
We can't see you, so we don't know how accurate it is, but what's the one that you get?
So when I was like 19 or 20, I had quite an unfortunate haircut.
Okay.
And I was told I looked like Sigourney Weaver, who's the scientist from the Avatar movie.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so she was like probably 40 or in her 40s at the time of this comparison to me as an 19-year-old.
Yeah, right.
Because I was going to say, Sigourney Weaver's an icon, but you were getting called 40-year-old Sigourney Weaver when you were 19.
Yeah.
Are you ginger?
No, I'm blonde.
I just had a really bad haircut, and I think, like, the jawline and the haircut.
Yeah, I have a photo.
I'll send it through to Ella.
Send it through, yeah, send it through.
You're put off me now because I don't, it's not what I love.
Yeah, when you're closer to 40, it's not such a big deal.
But when you're 19 and getting told you look like a famous 40-year-old,
that's the worst thing possible, isn't it?
Right, yeah, it's not great for the ego.
No, not for the ego.
Thanks, Jess.
Natalia's here.
Hi, Natalia.
Hello.
This was about my dad.
Yeah, who's your dad's unfortunate doppelganger?
The guy that acts in that movie, um,
Good Morning, Vietnam!
Oh, Robin Williams
Yeah, dad looks like him
Robin Williams is awesome
What's wrong with being told you look like Robin Williams
I dislike my father
Oh, you look like your father
No, I dislike my father
Oh you dislike your father
So he's now destroyed every movie of Robin Williams
Oh my God, this is so complex
So we like Robin Williams
We don't like your father
And having people go
Oh my God your dad looks like this awesome
person is a bad thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I can't help you there.
I can't even say anything mean about Robin Williams.
It's just not possible.
We asked who's your unfortunate doppelganger.
Someone texted and said,
A Tinder date told me that, look, I look like a sexier version of Susie Kato.
Was it the knitted jumper?
But it was it the crop?
Was it the big glasses?
Was it the disarming demeanor?
Was it the way you sung?
Let's go to Ben. Hi, Ben.
Goody, Tim. How you doing?
We're good. You're a baldy, Ben?
I am. I am.
Okay, and what did you get?
I will preface this by saying I'm a teacher for the intellectually disabled.
Okay.
So the social filter is a bit lacking.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
But yes, no, with a straight face, one of my students looked to me and said that I looked like Voldemort.
Yeah.
I mean, Sir Gorney Weaver and Robin Williams sound pretty good at the moment.
I was going to say, have you got a bung nose, Ben?
No, I didn't, but I did immediately, as she told me, I pushed my nose in and said,
how about now?
Do I even look more like it now?
And she thought that was hilarious.
Yeah, that's good.
And then I gave it back to her and said, well, I don't spend any money on shampoo and you don't, so.
Yeah, exactly right.
Who's winning there?
The bad thing there is, you talked about the no filter.
You know they're speaking from the heart.
Exactly.
You know, they're not trying to roast you.
You know they've genuinely seen a likeness of Voldemort in you.
and they needed to tell you about it.
Exactly.
Although I'm like,
I don't really have a green complexion
and, you know, I don't have like a vainy face.
So it's a little bit unfound.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fair enough, occupational hazard for you.
Someone said, I'm a cop.
Whenever a criminal is arrested
and they remind us of another cop,
the more unfortunate the better,
we print out their mugshot
and stick it to that cop's locker.
That is so good.
That is, I always enjoy hearing
little inside tidbits
of how the police operate behind the scenes
with that kind of thing.
I think that's a victimless crime
that you guys can do.
I've been told that I look like Winston Peters.
You know, young Winston Peters, very handsome.
Like, strikingly handsome.
If you've never Googled young Winston Peters.
Did they specify which Winston Peters?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, yeah, 2025 Winston Peters.
I get Bridget Jones,
not Renee Zellwiger, specifically.
Bridget Jones, so do with that what you want.
We're talking about unfortunate doppelgangers that
you've had. Someone said, we had a girl at
school who looked just like the count from
Sesame Street.
And we used to compare my husband's
old boss to Gru from Dispicable Me.
Which ones grew?
These are the man, the bald head
and the long nose. Oh, with the scar?
Yeah, very good.
That one. Thank you guys for all
your unfortunate doppelgangers. We appreciate them.
This is The Tea.
Brocks in with the Tea.
There is a big Kanye documentary coming out which documents all of the chaos and downfall of what was once a great artist.
I want to say, yeah, like this is raw footage, but it feels like every video you watch of Kanye is kind of just raw footage.
There doesn't ever seem to be real filtered or media trained videos of Kanye.
I'd love it if it was a bit more filtered.
I think I would appreciate that a wee bit more.
Yeah, because he just goes off script.
No filter that man
Yeah
Crazy so it's called in whose name
It follows the last six years of Yay's life
Like the last six years of his crash out I guess
Which would get his bipolar
Do you remember when he was going to be president
For a little bit as well
Yes
He had that phase
Obviously his fallout with Kim Kardashian
Who she does feature in the trailer
I'm off my meds for five months down
Your personality was not like this
A few years ago
It's a calling by the universe
Yeah
I just don't get the point of releasing it
because he is still in a very vulnerable state.
It's not like he's mended and well now.
No.
So why put it out?
It's an interesting one with Kanye because obviously you've got to be really sensitive to people with a mental health condition
and you've got to be sensitive around that stuff.
But he's gone to another plane with the stuff that he has put out to the point that he has
offended and upset so many people that I feel like a lot of people are like, well, we're just done.
We're just done with you
And he's like, I'm off the meds
Like no meds, me, I'm here
And it's like maybe this is good proof
As to why you should get medicated
Totally
For what you have
A hundred percent
And I don't know enough about that
Or or help trying to help someone in that situation
I don't know enough about it
But when someone is selling merchandise
With swastikas on it
I feel like it's very hard to still
Compassionately want to help that person
It's going into cinemas
So who's going to go, yeah, who's going to go watch that?
Like, because the thing that, the thing is, he put out bangers back in the day.
He had good.
He's one of the most important hip-hop producers of all time.
Yeah.
Of all time.
But he's completely sullied his own legacy.
Yeah.
Something a little bit funny on it, though, is his album, The Life of Pablo.
You know that album.
Yeah.
There's a theory online.
Kanye's last great album.
Okay.
In my opinion.
There's a theory on it that now Taylor,
Swift, who they iconically have
beef, is finally getting like cold
served revenge with her life of a showgirl
because now when you go to search up
Life of A, showgirl will come up on top of
Life of a Pablo to show that Taylor is...
Life of Pablo. Yeah, right. She wouldn't stoop
that low, but I do like that conspiracy.
You don't... Nah.
No, she wouldn't. She's... She rise above, right?
That's... It's just a wild coincidence.
Well, and they're both orange too, so...
Take with that.
How deep is the...
rabbit hole go.
I don't know if I'll watch the Kanye doco.
I'll watch bits and bobs online and see what comes out of it, but yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
That's the tea with Brooks.
Z&M's Bree and Clint podcast.
We're having lunch before the show today, and our newly married, 24-year-old producer Ella said she's recently been living with a baby.
Mm-hmm.
Not mine.
And you've got new insights into parenting, right?
I do.
Context.
I really want kids.
Yes.
Too soon now, but one day.
So I'm really in the parenting scope where I am living with two kids upstairs.
Yeah.
One's a baby.
One's three years old.
And then online, I'm like...
Any adults?
Yeah.
Oh, right.
Like the parents are my friends.
They moved out already.
That's amazing.
Alice is just subletting a house owned by a couple of babies.
I've got to feed them, bath them.
They're not mine, no.
Yeah.
No.
And also online.
It's all my, on my whole feed is...
Babies, babies, babies.
Babies. Babies, babies, babies, babies.
It's the universe telling you you're ready for a baby.
Exactly.
So I thought I'd bring to the show today my top four parenting discovery.
Woo!
All right, Ella.
What are they?
What have you discovered?
I've discovered a lot.
It's hard to nail it down.
But first one, if you have a fussy eater, make the treat that you want them to eat.
And make it.
Eat it yourself in front of them.
So you're not even going, eat this, carrot.
Yeah, yeah.
You just eat it slowly in front of them watching TV or something.
And they'll be like, Mom, I want some.
Yeah, either that or tell them they can't have any.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, that's not a terrible parenting hack.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty good.
We'll give that one to you.
What else have you got?
Okay, this one I love.
I've realized that the three-year-old loves us.
So he'll do anything we ask him to.
Yeah.
So we make chores fun and he'll do them.
Like what?
What chores do you get him to do?
You go, hey, do you want to come put the rubbish out?
Let's go put the rubbish out.
And it's like my cat's poop, you know, and all of that stuff in the rubbish bin, obviously.
And he goes, okay, let's go.
And then he does what we don't want to do.
He does it for us.
All right, good in theory.
I'm not sure about getting the three-year-old to handle cat poo.
So I'm not going to give you that one, sorry.
Next one.
Okay, I've got my notepads here.
Oh, you can make anything fun, anything boring fun by turning it into a song.
So, for example, the parents that I live with, they turn brushing your teeth into like a fun, almost concert.
They turn the lights off, they have flashing.
This is an age old technique.
Yeah, this is good.
What's the toothbrushing song?
I can't remember, but I would make it up and go, let's brush our teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth, let's brush our teeth.
Yeah, you've stumbled on an absolute hack there.
They love it.
We've got a song in our house called Spaghetti Fork, which only comes out when it's time to finish your spaghetti.
And the whole song goes, Spaghetti Fork, Spaghetti Fork, Spaghetti Fork, Spaghetti Fork, Spaghetti Fork.
Creative, very good.
Okay, last one, you're two from three.
Thank you.
Okay, if you're sick of your child or someone you're looking after.
Yeah, good start.
You've had enough playing.
You want to go to sleep.
Rip up a whole bunch of pieces of, I can't talk, whole bunch of pieces of paper.
Yeah.
On one of them
Put a smiley face on it
Scatter it all around the room
And go find the one with a smiley face
And then you get to go have a nap
What, just leave the kid there
While you go and have a sleep
They're still in your sight
You're a like sleeper
Two from four
It's not bad for someone without children
No, it's not the end of the world
Thank you
What you have picked up early though
Is it most of parenting
It's just the art of manipulation
That's what it is
It's slight of hand
It's trickery, it's deception.
It is.
Thanks for that, Ella.
You're welcome.
If you want any more advice, come to me.
If anyone's looking for a semi-qualified babysitter, 9-6996.
The Z-N podcast Network.
If you won that, you could have a lot of fun with that money.
It's also fun when you realize that being an adult means you can spend your money on whatever you want as well.
I love and hate grown-up money.
Yeah.
There's a lot of fun you can have, but it's also like you have to manage it yourself.
You have to manage yourself.
But also when you step back and you go,
oh my God, I haven't done anything fun with my adult money.
That's a lot of pressure too.
I saw an Instagram reel of someone who's definitely using their adult money properly today.
They posted about the Diet Coke vending machine that their husband purchased for their house.
Like full-sized drinks machine?
Full-sized 80s or 90-style vending machines,
the ones that are like six-foot tall and they've got like a picture of a huge Coke can on the front.
of it and the big plastic buttons.
If they want anything out of it, do they have to put like $2.50 in it?
I don't know.
They didn't post that detail.
But surely you'd just put a bucket of coins next to your vending machine.
And then just like rotate it.
They wrote, it's been one year since my husband showed me this full-sized Diet Coke vending
machine on Facebook Marketplace.
We bought it and its forever home is now our garage.
It lights up our garage every night and lights up my life every day.
Oh, wow.
You know the buttons on the side where you tap the drink, the can that you wanted to come out?
Oh, yeah, the buttons.
Yeah, and they lit up as well, and they've got the little picture of the brand of what it is.
Do you want to know what they've got, what they've loaded it with?
Because you can load your own vending machine with whatever you want.
I'm ready to judge their choices.
Orange juice.
So they've got Diet Coke, obviously.
They've got Sprite, Fanta.
Great.
I think they're American.
They've got that Minute Made orange juice.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
And they've got Diet Cherry Cola.
Oh, I don't know about that one.
That one's quite a sexy flavour, though, isn't it?
Huge missed opportunity not to have some alcoholic options in there.
True, you could just put cans of anything.
Can a beer, can of pals.
Oh, yeah, you could do that kind of canned.
They keep it cold, right?
The whole thing's cold?
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah, it's a refrigerator.
It's, it's essentially it's a refrigerator with buttons.
It's not just a glorified storage unit.
I'm surprised it still works.
Because people shape that thing if it doesn't work.
Yeah, I wonder if there's any for sale in New Zealand.
Can you jump on trade me, Lord?
and just go Coke vending machine.
I'll go on Facebook Marketplace.
Yeah, let's see what we can find.
And I want to talk to people this afternoon
about what I'm calling unconventional purchases that you've made.
You know, things that are not meant to go in your house,
but they're awesome.
And if they're for sale, you could put them in there.
Yes, Ella, what have we got?
We have, on Facebook Marketplace, a Pepsi one,
440 drinks machine for $450.
And for $125, you could get a cigarette.
vending machine, I've trade me.
Really?
I mean, that sounds bad.
It'd be very expensive to fill
a cigarette vending machine.
There's also for $40,
a hot nut vending machine.
What the heck?
If you're interested.
Funny, that was my nickname
at University.
You wish.
You're the opposite of a hot nut.
You're a cold...
Can you look at, because I don't trust Ella,
I don't trust her judgment
because she's not from the 90s.
The pipsy vending machine she's looking at?
Yeah, it's a classic.
Is it legit?
It's a perfect, classic one.
Do we get it for the studio?
It's like a giant Pepsi can.
I think we get it.
Yeah, we should.
How much?
How much?
450.
450.
Do you want to go 30s on it?
I reckon we can lowball them.
True.
It holds eight drink types.
Oh, I reckon we get that for 250.
Surely.
Shall I flick a message through?
Yeah, let's get in touch.
And can you guys get in touch with us about the unconventional purchases you've made?
Prime example of this.
My friend Mike loves to play the pokies.
But obviously it's not the.
the best hobby to have for your financial or mental well-being.
So what he did is he got three or four vintage pokey machines installed in the basement
of his house.
Oh, it's such a good life hack.
And he's got a little bar down there.
And when friends come around, you go and you play the pokey machines at his house.
And then it's just for fun, right?
Yeah, except the money that you put in, I feel like he might be running a bit of a racket
where he gets the money that you put in.
So he's bought pokey machines.
I want to talk to people who have bought, like can you imagine if you bought one of those
commercial hand dryers that they have in the bathrooms
that blow a hot air. I would genuinely love one of those.
Imagine having a dice and airblade in your own house.
When we were in Thailand, this shop
of like, it was like a cafe, had
PS1, you know, like the old old PS1
and the TV that was tiny, square, big box at the back.
Oh yeah. It was awesome. It was authentic
PS1 experience. It worked. Yeah, there you go. I want that at home.
We're just talking about unconventional purchases you've spent your adult money on.
We got hugely tempted by this person who's posted the Diet Coke vending machine they've purchased for their own garage.
We then instantly found a Pepsi vending machine.
Producer Ella found it on TradeMe.
It's $450 currently, isn't it?
Yeah, I've asked for $200.
We'll see.
Did you make an offer?
Yeah, low ball.
On the work card.
Yeah.
On the work card?
Surely.
Well, you say that, but you might be right.
There could be precedence for this.
Shelby's message through. Hi, Shelby.
Hey, guys. What have you heard that's going on on this very radio station's breakfast show?
Hey, listen, I don't want to stitch Haley up too much, but I'm going to.
So this morning, they were mentioning that they've brought a life-size ceramic German Shepherd to make that as worse.
It's in Christchurch as well, so they've got to figure out how to get it back to Auckland, obviously.
There's a key detail, Shelby, in this situation.
How are they paying for the life-sized
German Shepard that requires shipping from Christchurch?
Well, look, allegedly it was on the work card.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got them.
That means we can do something dumb.
Did they say how much they spent on the German Shepard?
Oh, about 1,200.
Hey!
What?
I reckon that's fear that you guys now get your Pepsi machine.
Remove the low ball offer, Ella.
Yeah, we're going full price.
We are paying full price.
That's crazy.
And at full price, we are still.
all coming in at a third of the cost of the German Shepherd.
And then we can get drinks, we can get some pals and bears.
Oh, we've got budget left for drinks.
Shelby, don't think of yourself as a narc.
I don't want you to think like that.
You have helped facilitate even more joy here at ZDM.
Look at it that way, okay?
Wow.
Damn.
I like it.
Good intel.
We want to know what did you spend your adult money on.
Lewis is here.
Hi, Lewis.
Hey, how are you?
We're good.
What was the unconventional purchase you spent your hard-earned cash on?
Luckily, it wasn't really unconventional purchase,
but I got given a claw machine from the owner of the pub down the road.
A claw machine?
Yeah, because they're obsessive.
Like, every time they go on the mall or anywhere, that's a core machine, claw machine.
This is such a dad life hack.
Because they go to the mall and they go,
Dad, can we use the claw machine?
And you go, no, we've got claw machine at home.
Yeah, we've got it at home.
And we just put our own toys in there and get the money back out.
That's genius.
I've always wondered with these claw machines.
Can you adjust the sensitivity?
Yeah, you definitely can.
Right.
So you can make it easier for the machine to actually pick things up.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm trying to hack my way for a Chinese manual at the moment, which I've got no idea.
And you should chat GPT.
Take a photo.
Put it in chat GPT.
Oh, chat GPT for life.
Yep.
Yeah.
One last question about the claw machine.
Has it made you really good at operating claw machines?
And do you reckon you can ace the other ones?
No, no, no.
Fascinating.
It's luck.
It's half luck.
and then half the control at the bottom.
Fun, though.
What a great, that's such a great.
That's exactly what I was looking for in this situation.
Justin's here.
Hi, Justin.
Hi, guys, how are you?
We're good.
What's the unconventional purchase that you've got at your house?
Oh, look, it's definitely adult money spent that probably shouldn't have been.
I was in Disney a couple years back and saw this little prop from the Monster Think movie,
the scream canisters, but they had them as water bottles.
and I'm like, oh yeah, that's kind of cool.
But then when you open it, it screams.
I'm like, oh, my God, that's so cool.
I walked away without buying it and regretted it ever since.
So I just recently bought the most expensive water bottle in the world for $150.
Wow.
How do you manage to get one of those when you're not at Disneyland?
Did you get it on eBay or something?
Yeah, yeah.
I managed to dig one up on eBay.
So every time you want to have a drink out of this water bottle, it screams at you?
Well, no, when you fill it up,
You open it up, it screams for you.
You know what?
I rate it.
You're an adult.
That's your prerogative.
That's, if it brings you joy, Justin, how good?
Absolutely.
That was my idea.
Yeah, brilliant.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
Darren's here.
I know at 100 dials at him.
Hey, Darren.
Good, Glenn, how you go, matey?
Good, good.
It's your money.
It's your life.
It's your choice.
What's your unconventional purchase?
Well, I'm an accountant, so I'm a tight board.
Yeah.
And, you know, I'd like to call it before.
I'd already had a call it.
claw machine. I took it to the next
level with the kids and we got those
ride on animals that you see
also at the mall. Yes!
So we had a ride on hippo and
we had a ride on lion as well.
What does one of those machines set you back?
They were
$450 each. Money well spent.
We've subsequently, yeah, we've
subsequently sold it off as well
for 450 so throughout
the kid's entire life there
cost us absolutely nothing. The classic one
is the horse, the quite western
looking horse.
They used to have them
if you're really old
like me, you'll remember
Decker, and every Decker
had a ride-on horse
outside it.
Do you remember that one, Darren?
I don't, but what I didn't remember,
and it had the stirrups
and it had the bridle and everything.
Absolutely, there was a racing game
that I'm still looking for
called Final Furlong,
which was like my own
end-ball machine.
Yes.
I want to get one of them
as well for adults.
My dream would be to get a Seeger Daytona.
That would be the ultimate for me, I think.
Do you know those racing machines,
the Daytona's?
I do know those ones
and there's lots of them on trade me at time
so good luck with that purchase
Yeah thanks Darren
We appreciate it
We're talking about adult purchases
I talked about my friend
I did say his name
I might not say it again
Who is into the pokies
So he got some pokey machines
Installed on his basement
Vintage Poking Machines
And I may have said
That people were allowed to have a play on them
When they come around
Someone texted and said
Bro you just outed your mate
For running an illegal gambling operation
Pokies are a class four gambling
machine which requires all venues and operators to be licensed.
So I just want to take this opportunity to publicly say that
wasn't, that I was lying and that never happened.
It's just a fun car game.
Yeah, it's just, yeah, I was joking.
Someone said they've got beer taps installed in their butler's pantry
for their partner's homebrew.
See, that's, that is living your adult life to the max, isn't it?
That's, this is great.
This is good inspiration for the next reno.
M's Breene Clinton Podcast
It's the one second
You only get one second of a song
No hesitating
You only got one second
A one second song challenge
And with Bree away this week
I need a new adversary
And today that's you, producer Ella
You have called in the big gums
Yeah you're excited for this right?
A little bit, yeah
You will be working together with Lisa
Kiyora Lisa
Hi! Hi!
Kiyota, how are you feeling Lisa about your songs?
Usually I'm pretty good.
Yeah, there we go.
You two will be looking to take down me and Cody.
Kiotr, Cody.
Hello.
You feel like some KFC for the weekend, Cody?
Oh, I would love a little bit of KFC, I reckon.
Wouldn't it?
Imagine a $50 splurge at KFC.
Yes, please.
Claudia's going to give us the rules.
Claude.
It's pretty simple, so I'm going to start a song,
start a song from the beginning.
you just need to buzz in with your name
and I'm looking for the artist
and the name of the song
every week there is a theme
and of course the most topical news story
this week, Taylor Swift's announced a new album
Oh no
No, it's not going to be Taylor Swift, don't worry
It's being produced by Max Martin
Oh no
Who has historically done some of the world's biggest bangers
So I'm basically going into Max Barton's back catalogue
Hutes things that he's written or produced
You may not know they were from him
But you will know these songs
I never pay attention to who produces the music
Unusual.
Not paying attention to producers.
As usual.
Something you'd like to get off your chest.
No, I'm joking.
Okay, let's do this.
Okay, Ella and Clint, you guys are going first.
Make sure you buzz in with your name.
Here's the first song.
Clint.
Oh, Ella.
Clint.
The weekend?
Ella.
I can't feel my face.
It is.
That was tight though.
Damn, he's hot on his heel.
Max Martin.
Yeah.
Banger
Banger?
Did he make the song on the weekend?
Oh, funny.
That is one point for Team Clint.
So Lisa and Cody, we're going over to you.
Here's your song.
Cody.
Lisa, Lisa.
Cody was first.
Hit me, baby, one more time.
Let me spare.
Well done.
Well done.
Cody.
And I can hear Lisa absolutely spitting tacks over there
Because you knew that, didn't you, Lisa?
Yes, I did.
It's got to be one of the most iconic pop intros of all time, eh?
That was not a bad impression.
Thank you.
Okay.
It's not over yet, though.
That is two points for Team Clint.
So Clint, if you get this.
Early for match point.
Yeah.
If you get it, you're going to win.
So Ella, you have to get this one.
Okay.
Lock in.
Here it is.
Ella!
Ella, do you know what that is?
Yeah, it is.
Teo Cruz.
Dance.
Oh, you're so close, but I can't give it.
Give me a step.
Give her a step.
Yeah, Lisa, do you know what it's called?
Dynamite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ella was going to sing every word until she got here.
Thank you, Lisa.
Very charitable.
us wasn't that Cody
Cody's like what are you doing bro
I want my KFC
and they say chivalry is dead
okay Lisa
and Cody
Lisa you need to keep this one
to stay in the game
but here's your song
Lisa
That was Lisa
I didn't hear anything
I heard Lisa
It was Lisa
It was Lisa
California girls
Katie Perry
Well done
Get a crazy duke's bikinis on top
Some kiss
Get so hot
Comeback of the century
All right
All right well tie break I guess
This is a great game though
I'm so sweaty
Tie break which means everyone is in for this one
So anyone can buzz in
Everyone just test their buzzes
Yeah test your buzzes
Clint
Ella
Yeah we're good
We're good
We're good
You see you're hot on that button
This is it guys
Match point
This is for the win
Ella.
No freaking way.
Ella.
No freaking way Ella.
Lisa, this one's for you.
It's blank space.
Taylor Swim!
Woo!
What are my favourite?
I will concede the loss.
But because
we let Lisa and Ella back in
without Cody's permission,
I'd like Cody to get some KFC as well,
please.
That's only fair.
Yep. KST here for everyone.
Yay.
Yes.
You okay?
Yeah.
Two of the most competitive people in the world
against each other right now.
Look at this text.
Clint was definitely first on that last one.
You weren't here in the room.
It was definitely me.
Yeah, Cody heard Clint as well.
No, no, no, no.
I'll check the tape, but we're all winners here, guys.
You won't accept me.
Play Z-Ems, Brean.
Look, this bloody tough being a Kiwi at the moment can't afford butter, can't afford
mints, can't afford houses, what else can't we afford at the moment?
Tamarillo's are expensive.
Oh, tamarillos are out the gate.
Tell me about it.
Actually, I don't know if I've ever bought a tamarillo.
Holy heckers, I've never eaten a tamarillo.
What?
I don't know that I've ever eaten a tamarillo.
Get out of the gate.
They are the best fruit.
Well, what a terrible time to pique my interest in tamarillo's if they're as expensive
as you suggest they are.
Well, you bought a house and they're expensive.
Well, that's true.
I can't live in a Tamarillo though
Can't raise my children in a Tamarillo
We can't try
We need some good news is my point
And I've got some for you guys
New Zealand has just been named
The top adventure destination
For travellers aged 18 to 22 years old
Wow
Hoorah!
We beat off 69 other countries in the list
We did what?
We beat off 69 other countries
Damn, that's impressive
We were number one out of 70.
Wow, that's actually really impressive.
It is.
They scored the countries out of 100 on things like safety,
which I feel like is very important,
especially if you're 18 to 22,
it's your first time flying the nest, you know?
And if you want to know your kids are going somewhere safe
for their first travelling experience too,
so safety was a big one.
Scenery, oh, yeah.
Oh, we've got it.
Just stay out of Auckland.
I mean, Auckland's.
White Tucketries.
Oh, yeah.
Stay out of Central Auckland.
Stay out of Central Rode Rua.
Stay out of Central, Wellington.
Just avoid the big cities.
Just stay out of Central.
Just stay out of Central.
Head for the mountains.
Go down south.
Yeah.
They scored us on things to do.
Plenty of things to do.
What?
Again, get out of Central and there's lots of things to do.
A walk and road trips.
Yep.
What's many.
How nice the people are.
Yeah, give us that.
And we got a score of 70 out of 100, which, again,
That feels like a barely a pass mark and we won?
Uh-uh, 51 is a pass mark.
We came in first at 70.
It's like a B-minus, right?
Never mind.
I mean, hooray.
First is first.
What a dumb break this is.
They said food and living costs are rather expensive, understatement of the year.
That's that 30 points that we didn't get.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But there are many beaches, hikes, caves and viewpoints that are all freely accessible.
but you'll probably need a car,
which I feel like it's a fair way to some New Zealand up.
I'd get a little minivan or like a, yeah,
one of those things to truck it down the country.
Whenever I see us getting,
and this is probably the wrong thing to say,
but whenever I see us rating well in these things,
I'm always like, yeah, but have you guys been to Australia?
Yeah, but you don't know what you have when you have it, you know?
This is the thing.
We're so used to it that we're like, this is just what it is.
I'm like, have you guys been to Bondi?
It's sick.
Really?
Lily Bondi doesn't compare.
No, I feel like our beaches are better.
It's packed.
It's not beautiful.
Yeah, isolated beaches.
Glamorous because it's on TV.
I'll give you guys the top 10.
Mm, yes.
These are the top 10 countries to travel to for 18 to 22 year olds.
Adventure destinations.
Number 10, Iceland.
Wow.
Number nine, the Philippines.
Lovely.
Number eight, Chile.
Number seven, Australia.
We got, Claudia.
You've thumbed your nose at 70 out of a hundred.
Australia only got
57.
That's a barely a past month.
Do you know what I reckon screwed it for them?
That movie Wolf Creek
where the backpackers get
kidnapped and skinned alive.
Yeah, that might do it.
Which I don't even know if that's a true story
but I feel like it's done terrible things for tourism
whereas our movies are like
Hunt for the Wilder people and Boy.
Right of Whale.
Number six, Finland
which fun fact is different country to Iceland.
Five, Belize.
What?
You better Belize.
Belize it.
Number four, Costa Rica.
Oh, these are great places.
Are they?
What's your favorite?
What do you want to do in Costa Rica?
Beaches.
Oh, yeah, okay, fair.
Yeah.
Costa Rica.
Number three, I've been here.
Peru.
Oh, fun.
Number two, Brazil.
Brazil?
And number one, New Zealand.
Wow.
No Europe places.
Again, this may be, maybe I've got imposter syndrome.
But I don't feel like we are number one.
No.
I always feel, I always feel, and I wonder if people
relate to this. I feel like when tourists
come here, I'm overly
friendly to them because I don't want them to
feel like they've wasted their money coming here.
You know, like, I
know most of the things are about shit, but
have you tried steak and cheese
pie? We have lolly slice.
Yeah, exactly. Would you like a Lamington?
Yeah, yeah. It could be a bit more patriotic, though.
Like, I know what you're saying, but New Zealand
is, like, remote,
we're an island. Have you traveled? Clint? Have you seen
the rest of the country? I haven't been to
Iceland or Finland.
To the rest of New Zealand?
Do you guys want to know the worst ones on the list?
There's worse ones, yeah.
Well, there were 70 countries on the list.
Who are we?
So those were the top 10.
Oh, right.
Here's the bottom five going down.
So I guess 66 down to 70.
Turkey.
What?
32 out of 100.
Turkey's incredible.
Guyana, 32 out of 100.
Pakistan, 31 out of 100.
China, second to last.
Really?
No.
This is for 18 to 22 year olds.
China.
You just go to like Shanghai, somewhere where they do speak English, so it's not too difficult.
Yeah.
And amazing food.
You've got to know where to go.
Yeah, okay.
Do the research.
And the worst place to travel to, according to this list, for adventurous 18 to 22-year-olds, Saudi Arabia.
Fair.
It's got only 23 out of 100.
I've never been to Saudi Arabia.
Where's Switzerland in there somewhere?
It'll be somewhere in between 10 and the bottom five.
Yeah.
You've done Switzerland?
Yeah, expensive but beautiful.
You did that in your 18 to 22s as well, didn't you?
I did.
I actually cried on one of the mountains.
Nice.
Very nice.
Cried with joy?
Yeah, let's say that.
Okay.
This is a bit negative, but we're going to do it anyway
because I feel like it's information shared.
Call you Nancy.
What?
Negative Nancy.
Oh, negative Nancy.
Yeah, yeah.
It's almost as bad as my walkie-talkie joke.
What's your least favourite country you've ever travelled to?
ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast.
New Zealand has beat off 70 other countries to come first
in a poll of the best countries to travel to
for adventure tourism for 18 to 22-year-olds.
So it's quite a niche list, but, you know, it's always good to come first.
Take it, right?
We want on safety friendliness.
seeing in things to do.
Yeah.
And they said, yeah, it's a bit expensive.
I feel like it's probably the most expensive.
Oh, Switzerland was crazy.
We ended up doing a, like, a supermarket dinner.
Oh, yeah?
Which is what you do on holiday when you like, oh my God, we're blowing the budget at restaurants.
Let's go get a cheap, picky dinner from the supermarket.
I was up there, maybe a hundred bucks.
Like, and it was bread, a couple of...
I bought up supplies from the deli.
And it was $8, New Zealand dollars for the cheap little pot noodle.
In Switzerland?
Yeah, they get away with it
because it's so stunning.
Wow.
I know.
We were bagging out in New Zealand before,
or at least we were questioning our worth.
You were.
Like, how are we first?
I'm patriotic.
No, no, I'm patriotic.
Stop dogging in New Zealand.
It's stunning.
But you're lying if you haven't had that feeling
if you're like,
what's so good about this place before?
When people are here in Auckland,
we're like, you should go somewhere out.
Maybe that's what it is.
Maybe that's what it is.
It's when I see them like...
They get off the airport bus
right in the middle of town and it's like, oh.
Yeah, there's a lot of instructions.
I was talking to some Germans once at a bar in Kingsland after an All Blacks game.
And I was, and they were like, they're like, where do we go after this?
And I'm like, I don't know.
I don't think there is anywhere else to go.
No, no, no, no, they meant that night.
Like, what do we do for is the rest of the night?
Thompson Bee.
Yeah, it's like, this is it.
This is pink.
That's family bar.
Yeah, we're not really like nightlife.
But here's some perspective for us.
Someone's texted and said, as an American who moved here in 2019, New Zealand deserves the top spot.
It's nice.
It's good to hear.
Someone else said, I came to New Zealand on holiday in 2011, and I loved it so much.
I immigrated here in 2012.
That's exactly what happened to my dad.
He literally traveled here in the 80s.
He's like, I'm just going for a look.
From where?
England.
Okay.
And he was supposed to be here for like, I don't know, a year?
Yep.
And he never left.
Wow.
Okay.
And now he's been.
here for 40-ish-odd, probably more years.
It's like that old Fred Dagg song, eh?
We don't know how lucky we are.
And I guess you're right, unless you've travelled.
And how'd you know?
And all I've done is a few con-tickies.
We asked, what a country do you hate and you're never going back to?
Someone's in Denmark.
It's flat and boring and everyone is way too good looking.
It breeds insecurity from Phil.
I love that.
what's the number, I'll have to ask you to search, what's the number one thing to do in Denmark.
The main things that comes up, funnily, of amusement parks and Lego land.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But it also has that, um, the little mermaid statue.
Do you know that one?
That's right, yeah.
It's like in the harbour.
Where the story of Ariel comes from, right?
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, okay.
Um, someone else said, uh, Austria, boring.
What?
These ancient European countries can't be boring.
There's no way.
Austria.
Austria.
Yeah, I had a Google.
History, culture, natural beauty.
So if you're in...
The pictures are amazing.
Yeah, stunning.
And I have been to Austria.
What are you do in Austria?
You go hit the mountains, don't you?
Yeah.
Hiking in the Alps.
Even just go into the cities because they look so different to ours, you know?
Yeah.
If you're European, probably same, same, but different for us.
Which is what I feel like New Zealand doesn't have.
No, we don't have.
You're like, oh, there's the leaky homes.
Yeah, right.
There's the abandoned ghost tower in downtown Auckland.
There's the destroyed cathedral in the middle of Christchurch.
The mushrooms in the corner of the flat.
There's the town hall.
in Wellington that no one's allowed to go into.
Why? What?
Yeah.
I guess it's about perspective.
Yeah.
We should buck our ideas up actually.
This is too negative.
Well, if you like hiking.
Yeah.
There you go.
New Zealand is a good place for that.
So is Austria.
Swimming, tanning, wine, wahiki.
I should be a New Zealand advocate.
Yeah, you should.
I'm really feeling passionate.
We should send you around the world just to talk to people and just be like,
hey, guys.
Hey, guys, it's me.
Come on, Deion.
to New Zealand.
Yeah.
That is
Franklin.
All I want from my
birthday banger.
It's still our final round of
birthday bangers for the week
and we'll kick it off
with Tain.
Kura Tane.
How are you?
Going well.
How's your week been, Tane?
Yeah, not too dead.
Yourself.
Good.
A good old week.
Looking forward to a nice
relaxing weekend too.
So let's send you in there
with a banger.
What's your date of birth, Tane?
15th of June
1998.
Right, you, Tane, was 16 on the 15th of June 2014, and this is your birthday banging.
This is Ella Henderson, it's called Ghost.
She won X Factor UK, I believe, in 2014.
Do you know it and do you like it?
Not a bad tune.
Not a bad tune, yep.
She's on a car.
couple of rudimental songs.
Great singer, that's a banger.
Let's do Jared's birthday banger.
Kura Jared.
Good day, mate.
How are you?
Doing well.
What's your plans for the weekend, Jared?
I'm going to celebrate my birthday tomorrow,
and my wife and my kids have spoiled you with the Waz tonight.
Are you off to the Waz tonight?
Yeah.
8 o'clock Mount Smart Stadium.
Up the Wars, they've got to do it tonight, Jared.
It's got to be done.
They better do it.
They better do it for your birthday, right?
For sure.
Okay, so your birthday's tomorrow, 16th of all.
August, what year were you born?
In 1982.
Right.
Jared, you were 16 in the year, 1998, and on the 16th of August, this was number one.
Can I tell what the world to see me?
Because I don't think they're paid and this.
The Gugu Dolls and Iris.
I'll say you what.
They can bring me back some memories.
Yeah, right.
It's no secret that the Brean Clint show a big Gugu Doll.
fans.
Well, then choose it then.
Put your money where your mouth is, Jared Rikins.
Wait there.
One more birthday banger for Michaela.
Hi, Michaela.
Hi, how's it going?
Good.
What's your weekend look like?
Pretty chill, actually, but I'm stoked this Friday.
It's a gorgeous day in Christchurch, where I'm calling from.
Oh, how good's Christchurch?
Christchurch is bloody excellent.
I know.
I know.
Let's do your birthday banger, Michaela,
and see if you've got the winning track.
your date of birth?
20th of March, 92.
Right.
Michaela was 16 on the 20th of March 2008.
And in 2008, this was number one.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's solid.
Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown.
You're clearly into it, Michaela.
Clearly, it's a real, you know,
sing in the car kind of song.
On a crisp, clear Canterbury evening?
Yeah, beautiful.
Okay, you're painting the picture.
Wait there.
I genuinely don't know today,
so I'm going to have to go to my brains trust to deliberate.
Have you got any strong feelings, Claudia?
Oh, honestly, they're all three.
They're winners.
Yeah.
Triple play?
Triple play!
No.
Double play?
Pre-word.
Shut up, but you won't.
No, by double or triple playing,
you reduce the potency of the actual win, you know?
I have made a decision, though.
It's like everyone gets a participation medal.
It's not the same.
I went to Montessori school.
I know what that's about.
What's your decision?
I want no everything.
I think Michaela had a great point.
It's a perfect sing-in-the-car kind of song.
Okay, that's your case, Ella?
I want to counter that and say Iris is a great sing-in-the-long car song.
Also true.
Yep.
And it is Jared's birthday tomorrow.
Come on.
This could be the first time ever, but I agree with Ella.
Why?
I don't know how to feel right now.
Jared, birthday boy tomorrow.
You're the winner of birthday banger.
Oh, good one.
Good stuff, guys.
Happy birthday.
Up the whiz.
Up the whiz.
If I give up forever to touch you.
Zed-Ans, Brian and Clint.
That's the Goo-Goo dolls.
It's the winner of birthday banger today for Jared,
whose birthday's tomorrow is number one
pretty much this day in 1998.
We've been fact-checked on Ella Henderson.
She did not win X Factor.
She came sixth in 2012.
James Arthur won.
Ologise to the nation.
Oh, the whole nation.
You got the fact wrong.
Oh, sorry, guys.
You're naughty boy.
Oh, well, you have them days.
Z. Adams, Breed and Clint, podcast.
Time for a new round of Brooke Explains.
Brooke Explains.
The new segment that we just invented this week, which I really like.
Some of these topics should be like,
oh my God, how do people not know about Labuboos,
which you have covered this week?
But at the same time, loads of people out there will be going,
oh my God, thank you for explaining Labuboos to me.
I felt too dumb to ask.
But also a lot of the reason to things nowadays is just because.
Yeah.
A lot of explaining could be just been done.
Yeah, because.
That's fine.
And if it ever is, it's not that deep, then you should just tell us.
It's not that deep.
It's not that deep.
It's not that deep.
It is deep.
Today's one is deep.
Today's topic is K-pop Demon Hunters.
Are your kids obsessed with this?
No, because I haven't let them watch it.
My kids are four and six.
And I know if they did
I've seen it other kids
It's like a crack epidemic
You know
Once they get a taste for it
Can we watch Cape Demon Hunters
Can we watch K-pop Demon Hunters?
They're fine with
They're fine with Bluey
And just the Erez Tour on repeat
Oh okay
To be honest
Do you know what?
I feel like there's this
Like same thing
Chemical gets released in your brain
When you watch the Ares Tour
To when you watch this
It's like the colour or something
So start at the start
These are the biggest songs
In the country at the moment
that all over the top 40 chart,
what is K-pop Demon Hunters?
K-pop Demon Hunters, this is the first ever anime.
I've watched this.
So this is the first ever time that I've watched anime.
It's a K-pop group, which you know Korean pop music, by day,
and Demon Hunters by night, which you can kind of assume by the name.
But they're not real, right?
It's not a real band.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's an AI band.
Sorry to break some heart.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a real, legitimate band.
Yeah.
Because that's what I'm interested in.
It's not, because I know K-pop.
I know Si and I know
BTS and Black Pink and that kind of thing
but they're real acts
They are and they're on the charts
Yeah
So they are real voices
Okay
On a chart
Yeah
But it's not a legitimate band
Right
Because they're also demon hunters
So can I tell you the law
Of why they have to live like this
Yes please
So demons steal these human souls
In every generation
There's three people that protect
The village to not have their souls
sucked by these demons
Yeah
And they do that
By protecting their country
by making this music that protects them.
So the music that they sing is literally like protection.
It's their defence.
Yeah, and it's the only defence.
It's their last line of defence against these demons sucking their souls.
Okay.
So they have to sing.
They have to make music.
And when they come to their concerts,
that's them like protecting their and they're singing along
and there's a seance and no, we're going to be safe.
But they don't know that the people's singing.
It's just the three people in the band.
Selflessly singing the music to protect the community.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's quite...
This could actually be happening in real life.
It's quite involved.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As a storyline.
So it's on Netflix.
You have watched it.
Yes.
Is it objectively good?
What does objectively mean?
Like, did you enjoy it or were you like, oh, I can see why?
Yes, I can see why it has the hype that it has.
Okay.
I feel like for an adult watching it, you feel kind of youthful childlike.
It's playful, it's fun.
Yeah.
But then as a kid watching it, you feel mature.
Like, no offence, it's no bluey.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
I know what you mean.
It's that in between awkward.
teen stage, which I feel like no one really makes anime for teens in that awkward stage of
your life.
Or is that exclusively who anime is made for?
No, because I think anime has become really cool for adults.
Yeah.
And for young kids is what young young kids as well.
Yeah, fair enough, fair enough.
So, and it's breaking records, yeah, because they're also, they're dominating on Netflix.
Yeah.
And on charts.
It's pure genius.
Because it's not like tacky, we're going to save the world, we love you kind of singing.
It's actually like, wait, this song actually, that's bars.
They're like airworms, aren't they?
They are.
They are.
They overtook BTS on the charts.
I, um, highlight of my DJ career, DJed my daughter's school disco again the other week.
Oh, yeah?
It's all they requested.
Really?
This is all they requested.
And that's going to be job titles as well.
You know how kids used to want to be like pilots and stuff?
They're going to be like, I want to be a K-pop demon hunter.
Yeah, yes, producer Ella.
Is this going to be like a new band then, looking forward?
Are they going to start touring?
Could they tour?
Outside of the show slash music?
Could they do like a guerrillas style animated performance?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think it would be, it would just be like a movie, going to watch a movie though.
But because the music is doing so well, I wonder.
They'll find a way.
Yeah, they'll find a way.
Yeah, if it makes money, they'll find a way.
They'll find a way.
There you go, that's Brooke Explains, K-pop Demon Hunters, everybody.
And it's on Netflix if this piqued your interest
K-pop Demon Hunters
Would you be open to give it a five-minute go?
Yeah, I guess.
I've got a busy weekend.
Yeah, all blacks are on.
The ZM Podcast Network.
International Playboy and the guy who doesn't date anyone older than 27,
Leonardo DiCaprio has opened up about how hard it is dating at the age of 50.
and also being Leonardo DiCaprio.
Yeah, I don't really feel bad for him.
Well, you haven't hurt what he's got to say yet.
All right.
Okay, give the man a fricking chance.
I'll be honest jury. Go ahead.
You're in his demographic, so you're being lost enough.
Yeah, you're actually the only one here that he would date.
Do you think he would if he could?
Yep.
Yeah, he'd date you.
Leonardo DiCaprio told Esquire magazine,
turning 50 creates a feeling like you have a desire to just
be more honest and not waste your time.
What the heck?
That's normal people at 24.
Is he looking to settle down then?
Finally.
I don't know.
I don't know.
He said being more upfront and risking having things fall apart
or risking the disagreements or risking going your separate ways
from any type of relationship in life,
that's what's important now.
So he's saying he needs to just tell the person that he's dating
what he wants in life and not be a year.
Yes, man, and not fear that that person is going to leave them.
Is that what he's been doing by dating young models up until now?
Which is rich, because there's nothing that any of his former girlfriends could have said
that would have stopped him leaving them the day they turned 27.
The day.
The day.
The day.
He said, you have to be much more up front.
It's almost a responsibility because so much of your life is now behind you.
There's more of your life behind you than there is in front.
front of you.
Very philosophical.
I feel like he might be having a midlife crisis.
I'm going to say that.
Do you know what?
This is not a bad midlife crisis thing to have.
You know why this is the midlife crisis?
It's because he's already got the cars.
He's already got the bikes.
He's already got the girls.
He's already got the girls.
So now he has to be philosophical.
Yeah, fair.
Because I was going to say people cheat and buy cars and stuff.
But this is not a bad midlife crisis.
I think he's very up front about his.
He'll just drop you instead.
Yeah.
Drop kick you.
Which arguably is better.
Better option.
Yeah.
Yeah, probably.
Like, you can hate all you want, but he is who he is, right?
He's not lying.
He's like, hey, I date models.
He's like, this has been fun.
Leonardo fricking DiCaprio, and this is what I do.
I don't know.
Maybe he is going to settle down.
And if he is, I don't know, is he going to date someone his own age?
I just, I don't know.
I doubt it.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Would you?
Would I date him or would I believe it?
Would you date him?
Oh, young Leo.
You're outside his demo.
For the story, absolutely.
You date 50-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio?
Yeah, I would, because he's Leonardo DiCaprio.
And he probably has a boat.
Yeah, right. I'd rather Kate Winslet, to be honest.
That's fair.
She's great.
Have you seen that girl?
Well, yeah, well, it wasn't one of the options I was offering you, but that's good to know, too.
If she's on the table, I'll take Kate as well.
No, she'll be on the door.
Yes.
Yes, Ella.
Well done.
Oh, you've got it good.
It's Z.M's Brie and Clint podcast.
That is the end of the show, and the end of the week without Brie.
She's back with us on Monday, which will be nice to have everybody back
and back to a level playing field.
What's everybody doing this weekend?
I know.
Yeah.
I'm signing up for Big Brother Australia.
Oh, good for you.
Yeah, I've decided I'm going to give it a go.
Yeah, you can do your audition tape?
I have to send that through.
Sure.
Surely you do?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they'll want to see you.
The only thing is, I'm from Queensland because it's Australian citizens only.
For Mama dies a dress.
She'd harbour you.
Oh my gosh, yeah.
Okay, fun.
Claudia, what are you doing?
I'm going to learn how to do a backflip, I think.
What's that?
Sick, good idea.
She can do front, forward flips.
Remember when Jason Dorlo broke his neck back flipping?
Did he?
Yeah, and Jordan Sparks nursed him back to health, and then as soon as he was healthy again, he cheated on her?
If I do a backflip and hurt myself, will Jordan Sparks nurse me back to health?
Yeah, that's what she does.
Yeah, okay.
Do you're doing it.
Twice hasn't put out songs for ages.
Yeah, right.
She's too busy nursing black.
Backflip patients.
What?
Back flip patients.
Careful.
Black, backflip patients.
Yes, you are right.
What are you doing this weekend?
I'm watching the all blacks on Sunday morning.
Warriors on this weekend?
Warriors on tonight.
Oh, the was.
So if they lose this game, are they out?
No, ball.
They're already out.
No, ball.
How dare you?
I'm so confused with this game.
No, do you.
In fact, Jordan Sparks, don't even think about helping Claudia.
Have a great.
Great Weekend, everybody. We'll see you guys on Monday.
Bye!
