Starting point is 00:06:09 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.
Starting point is 00:06:25 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
Starting point is 00:06:44 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
Starting point is 00:07:01 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
Starting point is 00:07:10 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
Starting point is 00:07:21 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.
Starting point is 00:07:34 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:08:05 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.
Starting point is 00:08:21 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.
Starting point is 00:08:35 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.
Starting point is 00:08:50 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
Starting point is 00:09:02 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
Starting point is 00:09:19 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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.
Starting point is 00:09:49 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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.
Starting point is 00:10:12 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?
Starting point is 00:10:22 No. I shave my spikies. I shave my toes. Do you? Yeah. Shut, girl. Well, it's normal. I guess you were.
Starting point is 00:10:30 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.
Starting point is 00:10:51 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.
Starting point is 00:11:13 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.
Starting point is 00:11:29 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.
Starting point is 00:11:41 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
Starting point is 00:11:58 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
Starting point is 00:12:17 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.
Starting point is 00:12:33 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?
Starting point is 00:12:51 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.
Starting point is 00:13:07 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?
Starting point is 00:13:28 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.
Starting point is 00:13:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:13 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:48 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?
Starting point is 00:15:04 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.
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:15:52 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
Starting point is 00:16:04 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.
Starting point is 00:16:21 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
Starting point is 00:16:48 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
Starting point is 00:17:01 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?
Starting point is 00:17:19 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.
Starting point is 00:17:37 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
Starting point is 00:17:47 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.
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:23 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?
Starting point is 00:18:42 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.
Starting point is 00:18:54 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.
Starting point is 00:19:03 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.
Starting point is 00:19:15 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?
Starting point is 00:19:31 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.
Starting point is 00:19:50 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.
Starting point is 00:20:04 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.
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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.
Starting point is 00:21:31 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
Starting point is 00:21:48 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
Starting point is 00:22:00 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.
Starting point is 00:22:14 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.
Starting point is 00:22:36 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.
Starting point is 00:22:54 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.
Starting point is 00:23:19 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?
Starting point is 00:23:46 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.
Starting point is 00:24:03 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?
Starting point is 00:24:14 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.
Starting point is 00:24:26 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 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?
Starting point is 00:24:59 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.
Starting point is 00:25:16 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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.
Starting point is 00:25:41 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.
Starting point is 00:25:48 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.
Starting point is 00:25:59 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.
Starting point is 00:26:20 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
Starting point is 00:26:41 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.
Starting point is 00:27:07 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?
Starting point is 00:27:28 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.
Starting point is 00:27:40 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 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.
Starting point is 00:28:31 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.
Starting point is 00:28:45 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.
Starting point is 00:28:58 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?
Starting point is 00:29:13 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.
Starting point is 00:29:31 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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?
Starting point is 00:29:57 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.
Starting point is 00:30:08 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,
Starting point is 00:30:30 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?
Starting point is 00:30:52 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.
Starting point is 00:31:07 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.
Starting point is 00:31:17 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.
Starting point is 00:31:25 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
Starting point is 00:31:39 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
Starting point is 00:31:55 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
Starting point is 00:32:06 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
Starting point is 00:32:19 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.
Starting point is 00:32:29 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
Starting point is 00:32:40 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
Starting point is 00:32:51 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.
Starting point is 00:33:08 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.
Starting point is 00:33:30 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

Starting point is 00:38:55 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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.
Starting point is 00:39:26 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
Starting point is 00:39:42 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.
Starting point is 00:39:59 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.
Starting point is 00:40:18 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.
Starting point is 00:40:30 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.
Starting point is 00:40:41 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.
Starting point is 00:40:51 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.
Starting point is 00:41:10 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,
Starting point is 00:41:32 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.
Starting point is 00:41:51 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.
Starting point is 00:42:01 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.
Starting point is 00:42:16 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.
Starting point is 00:42:28 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
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:42:56 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.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Costa Rica. Number three, I've been here. Peru. Oh, fun. Number two, Brazil. Brazil? And number one, New Zealand. Wow.
Starting point is 00:43:15 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
Starting point is 00:43:30 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
Starting point is 00:43:46 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.
Starting point is 00:44:00 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.
Starting point is 00:44:13 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:46 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?
Starting point is 00:45:04 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
Starting point is 00:45:16 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?
Starting point is 00:45:30 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.
Starting point is 00:45:56 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.
Starting point is 00:46:14 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.
Starting point is 00:46:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:39 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.
Starting point is 00:46:51 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.
Starting point is 00:47:10 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.
Starting point is 00:47:22 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.
Starting point is 00:47:45 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.
Starting point is 00:47:52 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?
Starting point is 00:48:13 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.
Starting point is 00:48:33 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.
Starting point is 00:48:43 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...
Starting point is 00:48:53 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?
Starting point is 00:49:03 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.
Starting point is 00:49:19 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.
Starting point is 00:49:31 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.
Starting point is 00:49:44 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.
Starting point is 00:49:54 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.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Kura Tane. How are you? Going well. How's your week been, Tane? Yeah, not too dead. Yourself. Good. A good old week.
Starting point is 00:50:12 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.
Starting point is 00:50:33 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.
Starting point is 00:50:55 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.

Starting point is 00:51:19 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.
Starting point is 00:51:42 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.
Starting point is 00:51:59 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?
Starting point is 00:52:14 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.
Starting point is 00:52:26 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,
Starting point is 00:52:53 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?
Starting point is 00:53:06 Oh, honestly, they're all three. They're winners. Yeah. Triple play? Triple play! No. Double play? Pre-word.
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:53:29 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.
Starting point is 00:53:47 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.

Starting point is 00:54:18 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.
Starting point is 00:54:41 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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.
Starting point is 00:55:23 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.
Starting point is 00:55:34 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
Starting point is 00:55:51 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
Starting point is 00:56:02 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
Starting point is 00:56:11 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.
Starting point is 00:56:25 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.
Starting point is 00:56:39 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
Starting point is 00:56:52 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
Starting point is 00:57:00 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
Starting point is 00:57:12 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.
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.
Starting point is 00:57:38 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.
Starting point is 00:57:47 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.
Starting point is 00:58:05 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
Starting point is 00:58:19 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.
Starting point is 00:58:35 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.
Starting point is 00:58:55 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.
Starting point is 00:59:14 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.
Starting point is 00:59:32 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
Starting point is 00:59:53 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.
Starting point is 01:00:16 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?
Starting point is 01:00:33 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?
Starting point is 01:00:51 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
Starting point is 01:01:11 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.
Starting point is 01:01:32 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?
Starting point is 01:01:48 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.
Starting point is 01:01:59 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.
Starting point is 01:02:12 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.
Starting point is 01:02:28 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?
Starting point is 01:02:40 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.
Starting point is 01:02:54 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.
Starting point is 01:03:08 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.

Starting point is 01:03:39 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.
Starting point is 01:03:52 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.
Starting point is 01:04:08 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.
