Starting point is 00:00:22 ZM's Bri and Clint. Hello everybody and welcome to a Wednesday that's technically a Thursday. Woohoo! I do love a short week. Yeah me too. As I'm sure everyone loves a short week. It's important not to get ahead of yourself early in a short week though, because if you start celebrating the short week on like Tuesday, you're like oh my god. Yeah but two days you can, you know, half arse it.
Starting point is 00:00:47 I know, but if you sort of leave it to tomorrow, then it'll feel really short. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like if you start celebrating too early and then you're like, oh, I've still got four days to go. Celebrating? What are you celebrating? The death of Jesus? I thought you were going to say... Before we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Isn't that what Easter is? I thought I was celebrating that the Easter bunny comes on Sunday. Oh yeah, that's what I mean. That is worth celebrating because chocolate is expensive. The end of Lent, that's what I'm celebrating, the end of Lent. Yeah, Good Friday. Can finally eat fish again. I wonder if the Easter bunny is having to take out a loan considering how much chocolate
Starting point is 00:01:27 prices have gone up. Oh my god. Yeah. Well we're lucky that we've got the Easter Bunny. Yeah. To supplement the cost of chocolate. Exactly. Like it's the only time our household has chocolate these days.
Starting point is 00:01:38 God my girls are excited for the Easter Hunt. How good is an Easter Hunt? I know. Nothing better than an Easter Hunt. Especially in the middle of the school holidays too. Keep the kids occupied for a bit. Hell yeah. And you hide the eggs in really hard places. Keeps the kids occupied for hours. The key though is tell them how many there are. That is the key. And when they come in with eight eggs you go there's definitely ten out there. There are still two out there. There's still two out there.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Don't come back in until you find them. I'll be at the pub. Let's rip into another show. We've got Trady vs Lady up first. The ladies keep storming ahead, 34-25.

I don't know why I'm doing this. Are we getting paid for the Rev Four company? I'm not. I'm definitely not. Willing to but not. I'm willing. Yeah yeah. Ready and willing.

Starting point is 00:06:53 Great game and what a comeback from you Hamish. Congratulations mate, we've got 50 bucks cash coming your way. Awesome, love it. Yeah. The boys love it. But you have to split that with your two other guys in your bedroom so you get, I don't know, about... I won't be seeing it. $17.50 each.
Starting point is 00:07:11 24 guys in one flat. School holidays, week one at the moment. This will be helpful for anyone who's got kids at home at the moment. I saw a post, they were titled mum hacks, but I guess you could also call them questionable parenting techniques. But I mean, so long as no one gets hurt then. I feel like that was my whole childhood. Yeah, if it works.
Starting point is 00:07:38 When you grow up on a farm, most parenting techniques are questionable. Like learning to drive a car when we were nine. Yeah, but needs must, right? How else are you gonna get dad home from the pub? Well, it was normally just to drive the tractor around or drive it back from one property to the other. Here's some that I found on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:07:59 These are questionable parenting techniques slash mum or dad hacks. One mum wrote, whenever it's bedtime and they are still watching Netflix or similar, I change the language setting to Greek or Polish. And when they don't know what's going on, I say, you can't understand the words anymore because you're too tired.
Starting point is 00:08:19 You need to go to bed. That only works up until a certain point. Yeah up to a certain point. But good. I told my kids that if they go to school all week they can have the weekend off. That's good. That's good deal. You've got to do that from the minute they start school though. You can't let up. Make them believe that normally would be seven days. Other kids go Saturday and Sunday. My mum used to tell us she was allergic to loud noises so when she was overstimulated she would say she was having an allergic reaction. This worked on me until a doctor asked me if I had
Starting point is 00:08:59 any allergies that ran in the family and I said noise. How embarrassing. Someone said if you want some peace from the kids tell them mum's gonna go and have a lay down for a few minutes and I need you to make sure that you get me up in 10 minutes so we can all start cleaning they will leave you alone for ages. That's my favorite one so far. Isn't that good? Yeah that's good. I told my oldest child that he could have an M&M whenever the baby used the potty. He basically potty trained my second child because every five to ten minutes he would ask the kid if they needed to go to the potty so he could have an M&M.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Genius. Genius! Get the other kid to do the work for you. There's a questionable parenting technique. Someone said I gave my daughter a bag and told her to go shopping for toys at our house. Five minutes later she had picked up everything off the floor and put it in her bag. Genius. Genius. Very good. My mum hid all of my dolls and stuffed animals and said they ran away because my room was
Starting point is 00:10:01 dirty. And then she sent me a postcard from my toys from another kid's clean room. I cleaned my room and all of the toys came back. Genius. That is, it's creative too. It's the extra mile, it's the postcard. Which you don't actually have to post,
Starting point is 00:10:18 just write it and put it in the letterbox. It's the extra manipulation and lying that really sells it. It's the attention to detail. We want to ask you guys this afternoon, what is a questionable parenting technique that you had used on you as a child? What did your parents do that now that you're a bit older you go, wait, that's not completely legit. That's not in the parenting manual.
Starting point is 00:10:41 My dad, because like I said before, I grew up on an apple orchard and my dad, and I fell for it every time, every school holidays would say if you come out and help me work on the farm, which is hard work, picking apples and doing all that stuff, I will pay you a normal workers wage. I never got paid a single dollar from my father for any work that I did. He paid me in electricity that I use. Oh okay I see yeah. He just took it out of your bill. But every time, every time I'd be like, but you need to pay me money if I come in and
Starting point is 00:11:19 he'd go yes, yes, I'm gonna do that. Yeah yeah. You should invoice him for back pay. I should eh Yeah, yeah. You should invoice him for back pay. I should, eh? Plus interest. Plus interest. Plus inflation. Yeah, yeah. So good luck with that.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Let me know how you go. Then he'll invoice me for all the money I cost him. Oh, $100 and then we'll text 9696 with your questionable parenting technique. That is Franklin. We're asking for your questionable parenting techniques which some people might find useful during the school holidays. Yeah, totally. Someone texted and said, my mum told me that coke was made from dead ants.
Starting point is 00:11:52 That's what gives it its black colour. I only just stopped believing this and I'm 35. What? How have you not Googled that? Well, but would you Google it? Unless you doubted it, you'd have no reason to google it. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:08 It's like chewing gum being made out of horses, hooves. Did you ever hear that one? Yeah, not chewing gum, but like jelly lollies, I heard that. Yeah, because gelatin. Is that true? Yeah. Yeah, gelatin. It's not true, though. No, it is true. Are you sure?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Well, that might be different now. There might be synthetic gelatin, but yeah, it's made from horse's hooves. Yeah. And dog food. Don't want to know what that's made of. I'm not eating the dog food. No, it's good. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. I don't want to give out misinformation. Can you Google the horse hoof gelatin thing for us please? Sorry anonymous are you there? Yes I am. What's the questionable parenting technique that you got told? Oh I'm so embarrassed. So we used to have a pool in the backyard and back in the day I'd do a lot of sunbathing. Yeah right. And my mum told me that I'd get a much better, much faster deeper tan if I did the weeding.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Oh, like keep moving. Yeah, keep moving. Get that all over tan, yeah, do some weeding. I don't understand the train of thought behind that though. It's questionable on multiple levels, isn't it? Because she's lying to you, but also she's not telling you to just go and put sunscreen on? No I think it was more around being closer to the sun. Yeah right. You get a better tan.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Yeah right. I can tell Anonymous you think back on that and go oh it's such an idiot. Yeah totally right. It took me years to work it out. Thanks anonymous. Claudia what's the update on the horse hooves? I was fully convinced that it was horse hooves. It's not but it's just as gross. It's collagen from in the bones and the skin and the connective tissue and all the good stuff. Oh okay. Well that's what collagen powder is that everybody's taking. Yeah apparently collagen is what makes gelatin. And that's why it can't come from hooves because hooves are made of keratin. Who's still taking those collagen powders?
Starting point is 00:14:08 I just started taking one. And you look amazing. Thank you, sucker. Look how thick my hair is. Absolute sucker. It's all a load of hooey. Let's go to Tam. Hi, Tam.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Hi, Tam. Hi. What's the questionable parenting technique that your dad used? Oh, sorry, hold on. parenting technique that your dad used? Oh, sorry, hold on. My dad used to make flags that he would put on all the dog poo on our front lawn, which was a lot because all the neighbourhood dogs apparently used to like pooing there.
Starting point is 00:14:37 And we would come home from school and be excited to see all the flags and collect them and get 10 cents per flag. He'd stick flags in the dog poo and then give you 10 cents per flag. It's a lot of effort to go to when he could have just picked up the dog poo. He's there putting the flags in it. Yeah. Putting the flags in, not picking it up. But not picking it up. Yeah. Was he above picking up the dog poos? Oh, nice to see him. But not above collecting flags from children that have been stuck into dog poo. Let's talk to another anonymous caller. Hi, anonymous. Hi, how you doing? We're good. What's the questionable parenting technique?
Starting point is 00:15:13 My grandpa gave me a cent for every car that I counted when we went on holiday, just to shut up my pay hole. How much was the most you made? Oh, it was never over a dollar. No, because you count to a hundred cars and then you'd lose interest and it's only cost your grandad a dollar. That is worth every part of that dollar for some peace and quiet. Yeah yeah. Yeah that's fine.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Clever from grandad. My mum once pretended to be a policewoman and called me when I was being naughty. She put on an accent and everything and I didn't find out it was my mum until I was a teenager. That's going the extra mile for mum, isn't it? That's wild for mum. Mum must have good characters. Mum needs to check herself. Well, she wrecks herself.
Starting point is 00:16:01 My parents told me when I was hanging out the washing, I had to match the colour of the pigs to the clothes. Why? You see, you're just trying to suck up time. You're just trying to make the kids- Just trying to entertain them for more than a minute. Oh, fresh text and someone said gelatin is made from pigs. Oh, there's a lot of-
Starting point is 00:16:17 You're never gonna know. A lot of different stories floating around. You're never gonna know. ZN's Breanne Clint. Got a bone to pick. I wanna ask the Breanne Clint group, and got a bone to pick. I want to ask the Breanne Clint group and anyone listening actually you can weigh in on this. Yeah. Is it our responsibility to fill out surveys and give feedback on everything we do? Because I am over it. Uh-huh. Can I have an
Starting point is 00:16:40 example? Some examples from the last couple of months in my life. Yeah. Every music festival I've been to they send a survey for feedback. The Airbnb we stayed at last weekend, Claudia, feedback. The Uber Eats, there's feedback. It's feedback just 24-7 and to be honest I can't be bothered. I feel like it's not my responsibility or should I feel bad? The one that has sparked this thought in my mind is the Airbnb had sent out an email asking for feedback. On the accommodation or on Airbnb itself? For the accommodation. Okay yeah. And if I'm honest the accommodation was fine, but I'm was indifferent
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah, I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. It was just kind of yeah Yeah, be a five out of ten all of the ratings should be right in the middle. It was it was good We had a fight. Yeah, it was fine. Um Look, I think you're I don't think you have a responsibility to do it and I also don't think you should feel bad about it I think the reason you would do it is if you cared about the experience next time. So like a festival for example But is that my responsibility for the whole entire festival? No, it's not but it's your way of affecting change for the next festival The reason I say it is it's hard to be bothered doing that for an Airbnb because you will literally never stay at that Airbnb again. Like in my entire life I've never stayed in the same Airbnb
Starting point is 00:18:09 twice. Yeah I can't say I have either. So I can't really find the motivation to give any feedback unless I felt particularly bad about the experience. That's when you'd give feedback and that's you'd give feedback. And that's the problem with feedback. And see, that's hard, because I don't like people that do that either. I don't think it's fair. If you're not giving feedback when you love something,
Starting point is 00:18:34 then you don't deserve to give feedback if you hate somebody. And this is my one gripe with Google reviews, which is all we have to rate some things, Google reviews. The only people who review things are people who fricking loved it or freaking hated it yeah you just have reviews at both ends of that spectrum I just don't care no I don't want to spend my time so you can't bother like the music festival survey yeah I'm not exaggerating when I say it was over 10 minutes long oh no it was
Starting point is 00:19:02 that long with that much detail and I'm kinda like, I can't really. If we're complaining, the ones that I hate are the ones that come to your inbox and it says, oh, how many stars would you give this thing? And it's got the picture of the stars there for you to click on and then you click on the stars and the stars was just a link and then it takes you
Starting point is 00:19:20 to a website to actually do the survey. No, I was just clicking on the stars in the email. Thank you very much. Yeah, they get you. What do the survey. No, I was just clicking on the stars in the email. Thank you very much. Yeah, they get you. What do you reckon, producers? I love surveys. Do you? I genuinely, I love filling in forms.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Do you? I really do. How come you never fill out the peak on survey here at work then? Excuse me, I'm the first person to do it out of all of y'all. The star feedback form. And especially if they're the ones that are like,
Starting point is 00:19:45 fill in this form and go in the drawer for a gift card. I'm like, yeah, I love gift cards. Here's a question, have you ever won? No, no, but I did one this morning, actually. It was a review on what I bought. And it was like, if you do a review, we'll give you a $15 voucher. And I got it, woohoo.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Thank you everyone. So that's worthwhile if you incentivise me. I don't ask me for any details, but I'm pretty sure there's websites that you can sign up to and you can do surveys and get paid to do them. Don't worry babe I'm already on it. Are you doing it? Yeah you get like a dollar twenty per survey. But a lot of them they're like we have enough people like you we don't need you so you do the first half. Oh so you've got a certain demograph. Yeah you do the first half, it just suss you out and then they go, no yuck.
Starting point is 00:20:23 What do you reckon Ella? I agree what Clint was saying it's very like when do the first half to just suss you out and then they go, no, yuck. And they get rid of you. Right. What do you reckon Ella? I agree with what Clint was saying. It's very like when you're passionate in a good or negative way, you tend to leave a review. So if like- Cause it's the only power you have sometimes.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Well yeah, and if you have like the best meal of your life, of course I'm gonna leave a raving review. So it is like- Yeah, but people don't always. And that's where I don't like it. I feel like if you're the type of person that's leaving a review when it's really bad, that's fine But then you should be forced to leave a review when you really love it. I just had an idea Do you think that apps like tinder should bring in a review type situation?
Starting point is 00:20:58 So after you go on a tinder date with someone the app sends you a link to review the person that you've just dated So that there's information there and a rating for the next person who's going to date them. Like an Uber. Like an Uber rating. More feedback. That's giving me no no-boss. Sometimes there's too much feedback in the world. Do you want a survey on that? Someone just said you guys are asking for feedback right now. Oh my god. Oh we've become the thing we hate the most. If you could text 9696 the feedback. How many stars do you give today's Bre and Clint show? ZM's Bre and Clint podcast. I saw the story today about these two ladies who have been sending the same birthday card back and forth to each other for 81 years. God that is the epitome of cheap. They're in their 90s, 94
Starting point is 00:21:55 and 95 I think these ladies are. So when you say they've been using the same birthday card I'm assuming one will write a message to the other and send it and then the other one will write a message to the other and send it, and then the other one will write a message in the same card and send it back, and it's gone back and forth for how long did you say? 81 years. Wow. Close, you're close with that.
Starting point is 00:22:14 They had the foresight, I don't know how they realised this tradition would last this long, but they had the foresight to not write a whole message in there, because they would have run out of room in the car decades ago. All they do is sign their name with the date next to it and then they send it to the person in time for their birthday. And then that person keeps it until the next person's birthday comes up, then they write their name in, sign it and they send it back. And when you do yours, you cross the last person's name out. That's the tradition anyway. The card was purchased in 1944. God that's a well-made card to last that long. It's got a cartoon dog on it with a big red bow and it says he is wishing you a birthday that really is colossal because it'll be a long long time before you're
Starting point is 00:23:05 an old fossil. Do you reckon the joke is just as funny now as it was when they first got it? No I reckon it's less funny and more serious because each year that it goes on they are one year closer to being a fossil. Fossils. You know? No offense to our 90 year old listeners. Of course no offense intended but in 1944 they were like we're gonna live forever. Woohoo! And now they'd be like. This joke's hilarious to us
Starting point is 00:23:29 because we're so young and youthful. Cool that they both ended up living for so long, you know? Yeah. Like it's not everybody that gets to live into their 90s. It's because they're obviously, you know, battling it out to see who gets to sign the card last.
Starting point is 00:23:44 They're staying alive out of spite, you're right. But. Because see who gets to sign the card last. They're staying alive out of spite, you're right. But... Because the winner gets to keep the card. When one of them passes away, that means tradition is over. I know, isn't that sad? Because they don't have a birthday anymore. Yeah. Do you, as one of the daughters or grandchildren, do you take it over?
Starting point is 00:24:00 Maybe. Or start your own? We start... I don't know. There's something special about friendship traditions, especially original ones that you and your friend have started. My friend Adam and I have started a tradition. Yeah. Because we don't see each other very often anymore. He's my best friend from school, but
Starting point is 00:24:17 we're probably lucky if we see each other twice a year these days. He lives in Christchurch. But we've decided, so what we've done is we've gone through and we've each picked what we believe are the 25 best All Black games of all time and we've decided that we will commit to watching one of those historic All Blacks games every year and if it gets towards the end of the year together one of us has to book flights we go and watch the game and we review it and then we will know by the end it could take us 25 years to do this but we'll know what the greatest All Blacks game is of all time. When did you start that? Last year. And have you done it this year yet? No. Did you do it last year? No we made the plans for it last year. So you haven't done it once? I've got till the end of this year to do it.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Yeah right. Okay. This is a good reminder. Yeah totally. Yeah. Don't drop the ball in the first year. Well I just messaged them before and I said we need to get onto this. And what did he say? He said yeah we do. He's like I'm pretty busy. Yeah we are both pretty busy but we want I need to get around to it. A good friend of mine I always get really jealous of her because her and her friend group have this really lovely tradition every year and I always, yeah so jealous, she says to me that so they go on a duck shooting trip every year, right? Her and her friend group. So it's all this particular friend group, they go on this duck shooting trip, no ducks are shot, they just call it a duck shooting trip and they go to some cabin
Starting point is 00:25:44 or something to where other people might do it but they literally just have all these other traditions like none of them are shooting ducks. It's got nothing to do with guns. It's got nothing to do with duck shooting but they call it a duck shooting trip and they have all these games and stuff that they play. Yeah that's awesome. And because duck shooting season is the same time every year. They go the same time every year. Exactly so it's in the calendar. It's in the calendar you know to keep that weekend free. Yeah. I like that. Pretty fun. We want to know if anyone out there
Starting point is 00:26:12 has a friendship tradition that you're maintaining. Something that's specific to you and your friends that you guys do. We're not talking about your snap story streak. No. No I don't think snap Story streak counts. That's not a tradition. Unless it's snapchatting each other like when you go overseas like a nude from a from a like a historic tourist location like if your friendship tradition is Well if your friendship tradition is like a manjina from the Coliseum or the Eiffel Tower or whatever. I just, I think get another new tradition. Nah, I think, no I think keep doing it. I think if you've started it keep doing it.
Starting point is 00:26:54 You reckon? Yeah. You don't want to get a fruit basket from the Truvy Fountain? Do you do those very often? What, manginas? Yeah, do you like look at yourself, like do you ever like do it in the mirror and have a look? Nah, it would have been years. You haven't done it in years?
Starting point is 00:27:09 Nah, it'd be years since I've done a mangina. You know what? What? You're gonna do it tonight. Absolutely. Yeah, you're gonna go home. You planted the seed. You're gonna go home.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yeah, yeah. You're gonna be like. And do you guys want a photo or not? Absolutely not. I think I'd rather a photo of anything else. Careful what you wish for. No, like anything else. The ZM Podcast Network. Talking about friendship traditions, there's a couple of ladies in their 90s in the news today because they've been sending the same
Starting point is 00:27:40 birthday card back and forth to each other for 81 years. Very cute. Very cute. I just remembered a tradition my friend Ali and I have from back home. We don't get to see each other hardly ever because she's in Aussie and I'm here. But when we get together, we always go for a night out and we go to whatever club we can and we order bottle service. Yeah, that's nice. To make ourselves feel fancy. What if it's just like a local pub or hotel you just have to get a bottle of something? Yeah. Yeah nice. Yeah. I like it. You can do it anywhere. You can do it
Starting point is 00:28:15 anywhere. The bottle will vary in price and quality depending on where you are. Joe's here with a Friendship Tradition. Hi Joe. Hi Joe. Kia ora. What is that? What do you and your friends do? So my two friends from school, we've been friends for 45 plus years now. Yeah, and one of them found a video about some friends who do Wednesday waffle and so every Wednesday we do Wednesday waffle which involves each one of us recording about a two-minute video about waffling on about what happened in the last week. We post that into our group chat and that just allows us to actually have a connection
Starting point is 00:28:50 week to week by what's happening in each other's lives as opposed to getting together once or twice a year where we only get the highlights of things. We've been doing that for about six months now. That's a great tradition. And even if you, even if there's not much going on, you have to get up to two minutes because something will come out. Something comes out and also because my
Starting point is 00:29:08 friends are in the States and I'm here I always start it off because Wednesday here of course it's Tuesday there so I'm the reminder. Yeah. Joe I don't mean to scare you but it's Wednesday. Yeah I know I haven't done my Wednesday waffle yet. You need to get waffling. You need to get on the ball Joe. Yeah yeah absolutely. Someone's texted, thanks Joe, someone Tixson and said long story short but I buy a fake piece of fruit for my friend every year for her birthday. That is such a weird tradition but I'm into it. But it makes sense to you guys. I love this one it says we lived with our close friends in our early 20s. When we moved out of the house there was a can of turkey spam at the back of the pantry
Starting point is 00:29:46 that neither of us wanted. That same can has turned up at each other's houses in more and more obscure locations over the last 10 years. I like that. It's so good. You go and open the washing machine, there's a can of spam in there. You're like, oh, damn it, I've been spammed.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Nicole, I've been spammed, that spammed. Nicole's here, hi Nicole. Hi Nicole. Hi. What's your friendship tradition Nicole? There's three of us and every year on each of our birthdays we go out for lunch together and do tequila shots. Tequila shots. That's a good one. Has it ever gotten hard to do the tequila shot? The only way that it's hard is that some restaurants don't really like serving tequila at like 11 o'clock on a Tuesday. You say my body, my choice.
Starting point is 00:30:35 That's brilliant. We all have matching tattoos as well. So we've got a lemon, a salt shaker and a shot glass. Wow. So it's that big of a tradition. Yeah, it's going to be tough if one of you gives up the booze, isn't it? What if one of you gets pregnant? Oh, yeah, we're just hoping that doesn't happen.
Starting point is 00:30:57 No, time your pregnancies, you know, you don't be rude. So you can only just have one year off. Have your baby between tequila shot sessions, you know. True. My friend and I started at primary school on the same day, our fifth birthday. We always get together on our birthday. We're now in our sixties. That is the cutest text. Yeah. That's so lovely. You would have seen everything in each other's lives over those 55 years. You literally have grown together. Leah's here. Hi Leah. Hi Leah. Hi Amy. What is your friendship tradition Leah? So in COVID times me and my best friend Amy,
Starting point is 00:31:34 shout out to Amy. Shout out Amy. We started up a journal and we would drop it off into each other's letter boxes even though we weren't allowed out of the house and basically journal everything of our life and we've been doing it ever since. We've been friends for six or seven years now so we pass it back and forth every week or two. And do you read each other's entries? Yeah 100% we use like tape and stickers and we put photos in there and like we are every time we're together we kind of reminisce through the book. This is like the sisterhood through the book and it's pretty cool. This is like the sisterhood of the traveling pants,
Starting point is 00:32:07 but with a book. Pretty much, yeah. I used to have that similar tradition with a couple of my friends, but we'd pass back and forth, you know, like a bottle of vodka. Oh yeah, sisterhood of the traveling bottle of vodka. Yeah, like I'd have a sip.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Leah's slightly more wholesome, but yours sounds more fun, you know? All good things. Thanks Leah. Someone said we've got an annual girls tennis tournament in Mangafai. We get Padi Marty from Hamilton to come with his teppanyaki set for the post tennis dinner.
Starting point is 00:32:36 He tells the same jokes and one liners every single year and it's brilliant. I'm so jealous of that one. I would love to go to the annual tennis girls event. I've asked for Pāti Mātis details and they've just sent back a laugh emoji. No, I want Pāti Mātis details. Yeah, I'd love Pāti Mātis details. I want to book them. Me and my friends have a tradition. We go out and get on it every weekend.
Starting point is 00:32:58 That's a good tradition. It is good. Yeah. And whatever works, you know, whatever makes your friendship unique. Keep it fun, keep it exciting. It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. Let's play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well do ya? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down Punk. Welcome along everyone to Google Down.

Starting point is 00:33:39 Be honest, do you care if they're willing? No. They have to do it anyway. Exactly, because I said so. And you're playing for people at home. The winner will pick up 50kfc chicken dollars for whoever backed them in for the win on 9696. And here's how it works. I've put these questions into Google.
Starting point is 00:33:57 When I ask you a question, first person to yell out the correct answer wins a point. First to three takes the game are we ready to play yeah my fingers are ready here we go question number one how much did it cost to make each episode of season two of the last of us how much did it cost to make each episode 10 million Ella well done told you I was ready fingers 10 million an episode it well done. Told ya, spinny fingers! 10 million an episode!
Starting point is 00:34:26 It was between 10 to 15, but I'll take Ella's answer as 10. If you think about it though, zombies are pretty hard to find. And you have to pay them a lot. Yeah. It's the supply and demand issue. They're pretty flaky, I heard. Don't have really good work ethic. They're always wandering off. 10 to 15 million per episode.
Starting point is 00:34:46 If that doesn't wanna make you wanna go watch the show, I don't know what will. Not many lines for a zombie to learn though. No true, it's pretty easy work for them. Yeah. Ahhhhh. A lot of demands though in their trailers. Their riders are huge.
Starting point is 00:34:59 No makeup though. Lot of human brains on the riders. Yeah, it's hard to feed them. All right, one to Ella, question number two. Who is the richest woman in New Zealand? Anna Mowbray. Ella started first, but I finished first. It's not the answer I have.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Oh, who have you got? Lynne Ercig. Lynette Ercig is who I've got, but I'm going to buzz. Is she richer than Anna Mow'm gonna buzz all of you out. It says here they've got 20 billion the Mowbrays. They're the Zuru toy people. Yeah, interesting. That's pretty cool. I'll have some. But that's okay, we'll buzz it out. No one, no point.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Buzz it out, I'm not going to give it to anyone. I don't even want it anyway. Question number three. What is the most popular Easter egg? Those Cadbury ones? More specific. Cadbury cream egg. That is right. I should have gone for that.
Starting point is 00:36:15 I was thinking of those little hunting pop boxes that you get. Cadbury cream egg. Clint comes in in the clutch. One to Clint, one to Ella. A cream egg's still good? No. They changed the recipe, eh?
Starting point is 00:36:28 I don't like them at all. I don't like caramel, apart from banoffee. The cream egg isn't caramel. Oh, the caramel egg is caramel. It's like a cream. It's a sugar syrupy. Yeah. Ella doesn't eat eggs.
Starting point is 00:36:40 It tastes like pure sugar. It's got the egg inside. Chocolate or otherwise, yeah. Okay, one to Clint, one to Ella. Question number four. What was the number one song on August 3rd, 2022? Oh no. Break My Soul, Beyoncé. As it was, Harry Styles.
Starting point is 00:37:00 About Damn Time by Lizzo. Clint gets it. How come we all got a different song? Weird that you all got a different one, but yeah, About Damn Time. Maybe it was the different countries, maybe. Yeah. But About Damn Time is what I had got on Google.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Two to Clint. Oh no, I'm in the choke zone. One to Ella. None to Claudia. Joke. Stop saying it like that. Here's the point, here's the one. None to Claudia.
Starting point is 00:37:24 And none for Claudia. None for Claudia. None. You go, Claudia. Question number five. When did the first Adidas Sambas come out? 1949. Oh, she's coming. 1950.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Right at the end there. She's got one. 1950. I got 1950. I'll assume you're both wrong. 1949 is the answer I got. I got 1950. I'll assume you're both wrong. 1949 is the answer I got. Mamma Mia. We move on to question number six.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Who invented the modern zoo? What? Emperor Franz I. Holy. What was there a couple of answers? Karl Hackenbeck. Emperor Franz I. One of you is right and the person who's right is Ella Carl Hagen back was the answer I got which means Ella you're on
Starting point is 00:38:17 to this is crazy it's giving two answers you got to go with you got you just got a trust Brin's on. Clint's on two. Claudia's on one. It's the AI overview that's killing me. How do I turn off the AI overview? You can still be in. Yeah, I don't know. Question number seven.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Where in New Zealand is Rebecca Gibney from? Who's that? Manawatu. Dunedin. Levin. Clint comes in at the. Dunedin. Levin. Clint comes in at the end and takes it. Levin. She's in the Manawatu region.
Starting point is 00:38:50 She lives in Dunedin now. She's living Levin, bro. But when you ask where someone is from, you normally say... No, no. The town. You are looking for the answer that Google gives. And that is the answer I'm afraid that Google gave me.
Starting point is 00:39:05 It is Levin, which means Clint is the winner today. And that means Debbie, you backed in Clint. We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars for you, Deb. Cool, thank you very much. Good one, Clint. Thank you. I was so sure I was going to choke, Debbie. When you go 2-0 up against someone like Claudia, that's when I feel most threatened.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I really choked today though. Yeah, yeah. Debbie, we'll get you that KFC. Thanks for backing me. Okay, thank you. All good. Hey Clint, this is a special message for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Bit gassy that one. That's all. Thanks guys, good to be amongst friends. Trade wars are on at the moment, America vs China and everybody else. Which is why we've all got to be friends, right, the rest of us, we've all got to be friends, we've got to have as many allies as we can to survive. Yeah, keep the peace. You know, if we can't buy or sell anything from
Starting point is 00:40:05 America we need to be we need to be closer with everybody else. Don't be the cat amongst the pigeons. Like our old mates across the ditch in Australia, you know we need to be thok as thoves with the Australians. Take a chill pill. Which is why this is so concerning, the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese aka Elbow, mm-hmm, may have accidentally started a trans-Tasman war with New Zealand. What has he done? He was being asked about a, quick backstory, a Canadian ban on Vegemite that's happening
Starting point is 00:40:37 at the moment. Why are they banning it? Oh, it's like an FDA thing where there's an issue that Canada thinks there's a vitamin that's been added to Vegemite that's not allowed in that country. Vitamin B. Is it vitamin B? Yeah, vitamin B is in Vegemite. Vitamin V, I don't know. Anyway, so in the news at the moment is a possible Canadian ban on Vegemite. So Albo has jumped in to defend Vegemite and then intentionally or unintentionally New Zealanders caught stray shots. Have a listen.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I can confirm here today that I am pro Vegemite and indeed I actually put a lot of Vegemite on my toast when I ate bread. I love Vegemite, that's a good thing. I did hear the report on that, it's rather odd that they're letting Marmite in, which is rubbish, frankly. Let's be clear here. Pro-Vegemite, anti-Marmite, that's my position. Whoa, whoa, whoa, elbow. There's no need to come for our Marmite, okay? You can be pro your Vegemite without being anti our Marmite. It's all the same, isn't it? Wow, some people...
Starting point is 00:41:41 It's all the same stuff. Some people are very tribal about it. Pro-Mite, Vegemite, Marmite, it's all pretty similar. Pro, you could be pro-promite. To be honest, I'm not a pro-mite fan. No, I'm not a pro-mite. Why are you bringing pro-mite into this? I don't know. I don't know why I bring it into this. And no one, don't bring British Marmite into it either,
Starting point is 00:41:58 in that stupid round jar. That's different altogether. We're not talking about that either. We're talking about Vegemite versus New Zealand Marmite. Vegemite and Marmite, very similar. Very similar, but people feel a certain way about which one. Well, it's what you grow up with, isn't it? And what are you?
Starting point is 00:42:13 Well, I'm an Aussie, so I grew up with Vegemite. To be honest, I'd never tasted Marmite until... Until you got here. And to be honest, tastes pretty similar. Claudia, what are you? Controversially, they can both go on the burn. Really? Yuck, I really don't like them.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I didn't grow up with that. Oh, grow up. Send her back to where she came from. Grow up. Clevedon? Ella, what are you? Ah, Vege. And my mom does it.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Vegemite? Yeah. Are you a Vegemite girl? Are you a Vegemite girl? Are you one of me? I think so. I don't know, they kind of taste the same, but I like Vegemite. And you- Just to be clear, Vegemite girl? Are you one of me? I think so. They kind of taste the same, but I like Vegemite.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Just to be clear, Vegemite is the yellow one and Marmite is the red one. Yeah, yeah, the yellow one. So you're the yellow one. Yes, because you get Olivani or whatever butter and then you spread them nicely and nice and even straight away when they come out of the toaster. And then when you have your piece of bread
Starting point is 00:43:01 instead of cutting it in half, you do little soldiers. Hell yeah. There's about four little pieces. Especially when you're sick, it's the perfect. I find Marmite to be sweeter than Vegemite. I always found Vegemite to be sweeter than Marmite. Someone on the text machine said main difference between Vegemite and Marmite is that Marmite has sugar and Vegemite doesn't.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Can I confess something, as a lifelong Marmite user. You've been eating Vegemite,'t. Yeah, can I confess something as a lifelong Marmite user? You've been eating Vegemite, I know you have. I've switched. Why did you switch? Because they sent me a jar with my name on it. That's what always gets you. They do have great merch. Like those Coke cans you can get that has your name on it, you can get Vegemite jars with your name inside the Vegemite thing. So I've got a jar of Clint at home. Yeah I've got the same jar but obviously I've got a jar of Brie and people are like oh I didn't know they put cheese in a jar. Yeah yeah yeah. Anyway, um. Few people with you Claudia, few people saying thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:44:04 What do you have when you're hungover? Like just butter if I'm having toast but just butter. What the hell? I'll have something else, I don't know, hash browns. I couldn't live without Vegemite. No me neither. I love it. I was an Nutella kid growing up, I've got such a sweet tooth.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I love Nutella as well but like I have. It's a completely different food group. Yeah it's not in the same category. It's a completely different thing. Give me just the, if it's like cheese, butter, pesto. Someone on the text machine said, have you guys tried Promite? We've been through this. Shut up about Promite.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I've never heard of Promite. It's crap on bread. Maybe that's the one for me. I'm knocking it. I've never tried it. Yeah, neither. I've never tried it either. I want to get something like Vegemite, but stronger. If that's what Promite is, then maybe I'll give it a go.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Bree and Cri-Cri-nt? Play ZM's Bree and Clint. Time for Gator. Bree and Clint's Gator. Let's rock. Simple game. You call gaydar. Bre and Clint's gaydar. Let's rock. Simple game, you call us up. We ask a couple of questions. Non-pointed questions, by the way.
Starting point is 00:45:11 They gotta be vague. Gotta be vague questions. We get a vibe from you, and then we guess if you're a part of the queer community or not. Jess is here, hi Jess. G'day Jess. Hi guys.
Starting point is 00:45:23 You ready to be put through our Gada Jess? I sure am. Yeah okay. Okay Jess okay. Jess when you were growing up what kind of gaming console did your family have? Oh PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2. Okay. Not Nintendo 64? No not that old. Interesting. What's a gay gaming console? Sega Dreamcast. We had a Sega Mega Drive. No, that's fine. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Jess. What's your favourite colour? Purple. Jess, you gay. Jess is gay. Jess? Yeah. Yeah! Just because I'm purple. Well, you know, it's a vibe. It's a vibe, Jess.
Starting point is 00:46:08 I mean, it's got a vibe from you. And you know what it is, Jess? It's because you had a cool vibe about you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And that's what it is. Jess doesn't want it to be that obvious. She's like, how did you pick me?
Starting point is 00:46:16 It's your laugh, Jess. Gave it away. Let's go to Cassie. Hi, Cassie. Hi, Cassie. Hi, Cassie. Hi, Cassie. Hi, Cassie.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Hi, Cassie. Hi, Cassie. Hi doesn't want it to be that obvious. She's like, how did you pick me? It's your laugh, Jess, gave it away. Let's go to Cassie. Hi, Cassie. Hi, Cassie. Oh, hi. We're on a winning streak, Cassie. We're one from one. Oh, hi, Cassie.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Hi. And you're next. Cassie, Cassie, Cassie. What sort of car are you driving at the moment, Cassie? Cassie, and it's a Ford. A Ford? A Ford? A Ford what? I feel like yeah you can't ask further questions because that...
Starting point is 00:46:49 No but I didn't ask what make of car, I asked what type of car. Yeah she said Ford. No that's not enough because there's a big difference between a Ford Cougar and a Ford Raptor. I feel like that's a pointed question. It's a pointed question. You asked what Jess's favourite colour was. You know you answered your own question right there, Clint.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Is it a Raptor? No, it's a Kuga. It's a Kuga, okay. Are we still talking about cars? And it's not your best mum's friend either. I don't even know what a Ford Kuga is. And asking what type of car someone drives, definitely a more pointed question than colour. Colour is very like, you know.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I disagree. Cassie, what do you do for work? I work in a bank. Hmm. OK, do you like that job or do you find it a bit boring? It's alright. I think Cassie is not gay. I think you're right. There you go Cassie. You took too long Brie.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Alright next, who's up next? Becky g'day mate. Hi Becky. Hiya. What was the last music festival you went to Becky? A Fletcher concert. You gay? She's gay. I don't need my question.
Starting point is 00:48:10 You're gay, Becky? Yes. Yeah. I think I was at that concert. That was a good one, wasn't it, Becky? It was a fantastic concert. Literally one of the best. Did you go to that concert because you love that song? Becky So Hot?

Starting point is 00:49:00 You don't eat steak and you don't like a Disney princess. Yeah. It seems like you're a bit all... Like you can just... All over the show? Yeah, maybe you're bisexual. You just have a bit of everything. Don't give it to us yet. For the purposes of this game, that would fall under the catch-all of gay.
Starting point is 00:49:20 I'm going to say Kate is straight. So don't tell us... You're going straight as well? Yep. Kate? No, I'm straight. Kate is straight. So don't tell us, you're going straight as well? Yeah. Kate? No, I'm straight. Yeah, straight Kate.

Starting point is 00:54:08 Set me free And let me out of this misery Anastasia, I'm out of love. Absolute bop. I don't know if you know this, Cullen, but mum would and she would love it, I reckon. Yes, she was dancing along to it. Oh, that's good. That means she loves it. Okay, wait there. We're going to choose between Justin Timberlake, Sierra and Anastasia.
Starting point is 00:54:35 We're not choosing Justin Timberlake. No. So it's out of Sierra and Anastasia. I'm going to vote for Sierra and goodies. Me too. Are you? Yep. Oh, look at that. Oh, Oh yeah. Bailey you've just won birthday banter congratulations. Awesome thank you. You are welcome Bailey. From the year 2004
Starting point is 00:54:52 here's Sierra on ZM Brinclint. ZM Brinclint. I want to talk about something called communication accommodation theory. Something I've recently learned and it was where I learned all the things I've learned lately, TikTok. Turns out that's not just you being easily influenced or spending a lot of time together. It's actually science and it's actually really cute. There's a thing called communication accommodation theory that basically shows that when we really like someone, we start subconsciously mirroring their speech patterns. Same tone, same pace, same wacky phrases. What's happening is linguistic
Starting point is 00:55:33 convergence. And it's literally our brain's way of saying, I like you, I want to be close to you, so I'm low key going to start acting like you. Yeah, right. Interesting. Makes sense. Makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Like when you enter a new friend group and they've got Yeah right. Interesting. Makes sense. Makes a lot of sense. Yeah like when you enter a new friend group and they've got like sayings and jokes and jokes. I guess the ultimate example of it is regional accents. Yeah where everyone kind of has their own little specific things from their region. I find the English regional accents really interesting because England is so small and each different part has its own accent. Yeah there's so many different accents. Apart from Southland it's not really the case in New Zealand is it? Nah, not really. I was thinking
Starting point is 00:56:17 about this theory in the context of our show because we spend a lot of time together and I do find... Just the four and I do find just the four of us. You and I, producer Claud and producer Ella, and I do feel like we start talking like each other in some ways. Do you think? I think so. Do you think? Do you think? I see where this is going. Do you think? Honestly though, do you think? Yeah, I think so. is going. Do you think? Honestly though, do you think? Yeah, I think so. I agree. I've noticed it in my daily life and Ryan calls me out for it, my, oh, husband.
Starting point is 00:56:51 That's the first time this happened. Ooh. Nobody goes, Ella, you say this all the time. One, choosies, thanks to you, Bree. Oh, that's a Bree-ism for booties. That's a Bree-ism that I brought into it. And I'll just bring it up. Oh yeah, Chizzies. Can you use it in a sentence for us in a way that you would use it with your husband?
Starting point is 00:57:09 Um, hey babe, look at my Chizzies. Don't they look good? And he's like, what does that mean? Sula? That's the wrong thing to say after your partner says, look at my Chizzies. Yeah. Sula, that's another breism. Which I thought was Italian, but it's not.
Starting point is 00:57:28 That was so funny. Yeah, Sola for people listening that don't know what it is, is sweaty upper lip alert or sweaty upper lip areas when you have a sweaty upper lip. And then what Claudia does is she laughs when she's not really paying attention, but gives you a petty laugh. Oh, she does do that. And I do it too! Not on purpose! Really? Oh that's cute one! There's a phrase that she's also picked up from Clint. Oh yeah. Which she was like where does it come from? And then once was like oh I heard Clint do it, that's where I got it from.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Oh what's the phrase? When I'm telling a story and I go get this guys. Get this guys Get that and you'll be on your phone. You go get this Do I yeah notice it and now you're using it I've also picked up a Clintism when I say hello to people I do it the way you do sometimes you walk in you Just go So when I feel like being confident Hello.

Starting point is 00:58:58 so she'll be talking and whatever and then I'll be like, all right, mum, I've gotta go. All right, see ya, bye. And she goes, bye. She does too. And I love it so much. Leaves you wanting more. Yeah. And then you walk away from a conversation with her going, why am I a bit turned off?
Starting point is 00:59:17 Yeah, what is going, me and my partner, now we do it to each other, where I will go, bye. Look at that. I love it. For the word for it, if you are trying to figure out why you're starting to sound like your partner or your colleague or your best friend.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Is the communication accommodation theory. Perfect, we gotta go, we'll be back soon, but we're gonna do the Whitney challenge soon. We'll play some music and be back in a second, so, bye. Bye. Oh! Oh! Zaydeen's Brian Clint. It's time for the Whitney Challenge. We got a text yesterday because we've been doing this a lot. When I say we, Clint's been doing it a lot
Starting point is 01:00:00 because we've already done ours. We've completed it. Clint has been struggling his way through, still yet to hit the beat spot on. But for those of you who don't know, the Whitney Challenge is all about getting the timing right on that beat. They hit a drum, we've got a bell. Yeah, so we're trying to hit the hit the bell right on the Last week we started it producer Ella got it first go She was done done with the challenge couple of days later pretty biggie Couple of days later Claudia and I got it on the same day and then Clint has been trying ever since Languishing in last place.
Starting point is 01:00:47 This is the last one. Do you remember the deal that we've made? Oh! Which Claudia's very excited about. I haven't stopped talking about it. Have you told Ella? Yes, I told Ella. Oh my god, yes!
Starting point is 01:00:59 I want one too. What is it? So if you don't get it today, you're buying us all Easter eggs. Oh, Easter eggs, yeah. We should have said lunch, but we settled for Easter eggs. Yeah, why don't you say lunch? Always lunch. I'm excited about it. There's no group lunch this week because of the short week. Someone just texted and said, so how does it work? We just have to hit the beat. We play the Whitney Houston song and then it gets to the point where it goes silent Houston song and then it gets to the point where it goes silent and then there's a significant beat like that part there.
Starting point is 01:01:30 And you have to ring the bell, you have to hit that bell on that beat. It's not as easy as you think. No. That's why Clint is still here trying. We have, we all agreed that we wouldn't practice in between rounds so. Yes. So someone pointed out yesterday that I've done it so many times now that I've had a lot of practice.
