They go to 57. Trady, stay on 53. ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Clint, one of your favourite pastimes is correcting things I say wrong. You love it, it's a hobby of yours. It is not. You do love it.

It is not. I, excuse you, I let a lot of them slide. I just pipe up when I feel like you are making a fool of yourself. Excuse you. And I just let you go. There's been plenty of times and I'm like, nah, he'll figure it out eventually. It made me think of you because there's this girl who I saw who's mortified after she's learnt something that she has been calling people

and saying to people she thought was one thing and turns out it means something else. Take a listen. So I've just realised that a diamond in the rough doesn't mean what I think it means. And I've been saying that to a lot of people, like, oh, you're a diamond in the rough. Like, I thought it meant like you're a good thing amongst a bunch of bad stuff, but it actually means like you could be good if you like refined yourself and you like made yourself

better than you currently are. Like you have potential, but you're like not good right now. I've said that to so many people. Not to be the guy who corrects everyone but she's got it wrong again. What she's talking about is a rough diamond. Yeah, but I'm confused now because I've done some research like I always do when you correct me and diamond in the rough by definition it says a person who has talent or other good qualities but isn't polite, educated or socially skilled. Oh, see, I would say that's a rough diamond.

A Diamond in the Rough, I thought, is like, you know the movie where the coach goes to the school of underprivileged children and finds like a naturally talented sports person. Diamond in the rough. That's a diamond in the rough. It's a diamond in the rough. Literally a gem amongst. Yeah and if that person is a bit rough around the edges, they're a rough diamond. Yeah. They're a rough diamond in the rough. Producers do you have any idea because it's quite confusing now. Well the only reason I know're rough diamond in the rough. Producers, do you have any idea? Because it's quite confusing now. Well, the only reason I know the words diamond in the rough is because of the movie Aladdin.

And he was someone with a lot of potential. Yes, diamond in the rough. Diamond in the rough. It's so true. It's him amongst other people. It's him himself as the diamond on the inside and rough on the outside. And there's a lot of pre-credits. Like what she was saying, that second definition she gave.

No, he was a diamond in the rough because he was just hanging out in the bazaar. No, I think Cordie is right. He was a street rat. I think Cordie is right. You had a lot of potential. You're a diamond, but you're rough around the edges. Yeah, that's a rough diamond.

No, I think that's a diamond in the rough. Because diamonds become sparkly. Guys, I'm not willing to be wrong. Listen to me. Diamonds get a lot of pressure, right? To become diamonds. It's the pressure. No, Cole gets a lot of pressure.

You've gone too far now, Ella. It says here... Pressure makes diamonds. The dictionary states a diamond in the rough, a person who is generally of good character, but lacks manners, education or style. Like a man. Well style like I'm not gonna argue with the dictionary Am I I don't know I'm confused now. I think just believe Claudia. I believe When in doubt saying that girl wanted was oh you're a gem

Yeah, isn't it? That's what she actually wanted. Yeah. Yeah. What about your a rose amongst thorns? Probably. Yep No, why not? No, A Rose Among Thorns is complimenting someone while insulting the people around them. So to describe you as A Rose Among Thorns is to say you're special and me, Claudia and Ella are, oh but shit. But isn't that a diamond in the rough as well?

Yes. Nah, that was her use of diamond in the rough. You know what I mean? It's the same thing. What are you talking about? Clint just caught himself out. He's like, yes, and wait. He didn't tell me I was wrong, but he also then agreed with me.

Guys, I'm a rough diamond. Can anyone clarify on the text machine? 9696? Because the rails I've been using... Clarify what? can you clarify what you weren't clarified I want someone to clarify what does the term diamond in the rough actually mean yeah and if we get any contradictory information we're just gonna have to decide yeah it's's right if you want to 9696.

We'd love to get some people to call through who have realised they were using a word or saying incorrectly for years, for ages. It was part of your vocab until you realised, oh Christ, that's not what that means. It's like when I realised, was it last year that it's not mid drift? Oh yeah.

It's mid riff. Mid riff. Mid riff. Mid riff. Yeah no but I'm breaking it down so the people know the difference of what I'm saying. Stop correcting me! It's just saying it wrong again and it's really hard to hear. It's really hard to hear.

I corrected myself! Mid riff. What's the word or saying you were getting wrong and you found out what it really meant share it with us 0800 dials at M or you can text it through to 9696 because we're all learning aren't we? We're all just rough diamonds. Or diamonds in the rough. Or that. Rose amongst thorns where? That is Franklin. I think we're in the process of trying to become less confused. We've all become more confused.

I think I've figured it out. Do you? I think I've figured it out and the answer is, and I mean, this might be hard for you to hear, you were wrong. Huh? Huh? In saying that, I also was wrong,

but I mean, I didn't think I was right. But I think we both you and I have both been using the phrase a diamond in the rough wrong. Okay give me the definition and where is the definition from? So I've asked chat GPT and I said what does a diamond in the rough actually mean when you say it? Chat GPT says the phrase a diamond in the rough refers to someone or something that has great potential or value but lacks refinement, polish or development. So for example the new intern seems shy but I

think she's a diamond in the rough, super talented once you get to know her. Buzzy, okay so that is what it means. Yeah, so basically it's a compliment, but with a suggestion that with a little work or time, you'll have even more potential. So it says someone or something. Let's say I go to a car wreckers yard, looking for parts, and I just happen to find a full version of my car

with all the parts that I need in perfect working order, I've found a diamond in the rough, right? Kind of. Because it's surrounded by rubbish. A better example would be you go to a house and it's got great bones, but there's a lot of work that probably needs to be done to it. This house is a diamond in the rough

Is it I'm pretty sure that's what a stunning house on a bad street would be a diamond in the rough See, that's what you and I both thought and that's what this girl in the audio has been using the phrase as as well Yeah, but I think we're all wrong and it's like Claudia said in the movie Aladdin He was the diamond in the rough he was rough on the outside rough around the edges but he thought he was searching for an actual diamond yes right but he had great potential is that right Claude something like that I think the way to think about it is the one object is both the diamond and the rough there's no yes that's the bit that's

tripping us all up. We're using it too. Because you're thinking of one thing amongst a lot of bad things. Which is where I think rough diamond works better. I guess so, yeah. I think it means the same. You're a diamond still in all of your rough. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's catchy. I like that. Sure. What's the saying that you were getting wrong, Nicola? You know the little charms on crocs? Oh yeah? Jiblets. Yeah, I thought they were giblets, they're not, they're gibets. No, they're giblets. Jiblets is the bits out of like, you know, the innards of like chickens and...

Nicola, I'm going to need you to agree with me that it's giblets because I have been training my children to say giblets for about three years so that one day they go to school and they say giblets and everyone's going to go to them. Don't add to this problem of Clint always thinking he's right. I learned that it was wrong on TikTok when somebody younger than me was telling me about it and I'm like, that's not how you pronounce it and everybody else is, yes it is. You guys are missing what I'm trying to do.

I'm intentionally misleading my children. It's a long burn to set them up for failure later. Why don't you tell them it's like, call them a bidet then, so at least it's drastically different. You know? Like, say that a napkin is actually a beach towel. Yeah, true, these are all great ideas.

Wipe your mouth with your beach towel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? All right Nicola, we'll leave you and your giblets to it. Thanks, appreciate it. No worries at all. We're asking what's the thing that you were always getting wrong?

Someone said my hubby who knows everything thought resting on your laurels literally meant leaning on your elbows. Lol. That's so funny. Someone else said, I recently found out that it was nip it in the bud and I've been saying nip it in the butt. I feel like a lot of people-

That's a common one, yeah. Yeah, have been saying that. But nip it in the bud, it's sort of talking about get to it before it's a problem. So before it blooms, the flower- Yes, so get it before it blooms. Go and cut it out before it blooms. 100% right? I mean, what do we know? We've just spent the last 20 minutes getting this saying wrong, but take our word for it. Rory is here. Hi Rory. Hi Rory Janey, hi. Hi. What's the what's the word the saying you guys been getting wrong? My god, that's the cutest thing.

What, one more time, what is it? Ananananami. Like a sea ananananami. It's hard to say. The thing underwater, the sea nanananami. Sea nanananami. Is that the thing, is that what we're talking about, we're on the same page? Yes. No, I think you're getting it right.

Can you say it again for us? I think that's it. That's how you should always say it, forever. You know, it's a hard one to get right, especially when you're doing it and you're tired. When you're doing up your house, revenerate. Renovate. Renovate. Renovate.

Renovations. Renovate. I always. Renerate. Renovate. Renovations. Renovate. I don't think I've ever stumbled on renovate. Really? Interesting. Well aren't you perfect. Someone said, I just found out that it was double ganger and not double ganger.

I mean it kind of makes more sense. Oh my god, I've found you a double ganger. Makes more sense because it's the double of someone. So yeah I get why you got that confused. What about this what does lucked out mean? I've heard it used in a positive and a negative sense so I wonder which is right. So yeah when someone is lucked out. To me my gut straight away my reaction is that run out of no negative. Oh mine's run out of luck. It's positive. No, negative.

Oh, mine's positive. They've run out of luck. Oh, mine's positive. Because if you won lotto I would have said that you lucked in. No, well, I feel like, you know, if someone has lucked out that means like, oh... Angry spot response coming from the bloke. You're just making things up now. You're making it up.

Lucked in. You would not say that. When have you ever said that? It's a good thing. It's a positive. For me it's also a negative. Use it in a negative way. Oh, she's lucked out there. Nah, you're really lucked out with that.

You're playing a game of Rugby League. You've kicked three from three. And the fourth one is to win the game and you missed it. Oh, she's lucked out there. See, I've never heard it used in that context. Use your positive one, Bree. Oh, OK, so let's say the same thing, the same version. Let's say the kicker hasn't kicked any and they were like,

oh, he's not very good. And then today's kickings been pretty average. Kicks the last one to win. He goes, oh, he's lucked out. Oh, I like that. That's where I would have thought. Yeah, OK, we can't leave this, we can't leave this. I'm just gonna quickly ask Chet G. What is Chet G? Is lucked out a positive or negative? God now people are just asking all different ones. We don't know, we're not the right people to ask. Someone said- Meaning to luck out. Oh shit. To luck out.

Wait, wait, wait, I can't wait for Clint to tell me I'm right. Guys. Yeah? Turns out I have not lucked out. To luck out means to get very lucky or to succeed by chance. So- I really lucked out and got last minute tickets to the sold out show.

So with what all just happened, is there anything you wanna say? You wanna say, starts with an S. So chat GPT is very useful. Lame. So anyway, so who was right in that situation? Maybe he doesn't know what sorry means. Ask chat GPT. Ask chat GPT.

Ask chat GPT. How do I say sorry in a way that doesn't actually mean sorry? You know what's funny is someone else has text her and said, please tell me what double down means. And I think Clint is displaying that very well right here. Yeah. What doubling down actually it's a good display. So I think you've done well there. Well, I'm sorry.

Did you guys hear that? Claudia, can you isolate that audio? And now if you can just say we were right. You were right. You were right. Oh my God! Goosebumps, I've got goosebumps! Guys, we lucked out. This is better than Christmas.

Enjoy that guys, it's not gonna happen for another seven full moons. ZN's Brang Clint. You know before how we were talking about cool girls? Yeah. I'm trying less cool girls. I thought of another one. Raven Lennay?

Oh no. Olivia Dean. Olivia Dean, cool girls. I thought of another one. Raven Linnae? Oh no. Olivia Dean. Olivia Dean, cool girl. Cool girl. Emma Chamberlain. Emma Chamberlain. Redhead? No, blonde.

Emma Chamberlain. You guys don't agree? I agree, I've grown up with her. People are kind of sick of her a little bit. I don't- Oh, wool shade. Did you know this? No. Because she's in LA and she's not talking at all

about anything going on in LA. Guys, I don't know who that is. What? I've never seen that girl before in my life. No, shut up, she's done YouTube and now she's on- Don't worry, because Ella's already canceled her. Yeah, right, so there's no point in me getting to know who she is.

According to Ella, we're over her. No, I'm not over her, I really like her. That's ruthless. I'm giving you the, I really like her. That's ruthless. I'm giving you the internet's vibe right now. But I think she's cool. It is interesting, we're influencers. What's her talent, what does she do? She's a very good influencer, no, not that word.

She's an influencer YouTuber, content creator. She's a very good interviewer, very good at editing and making quite nice YouTube videos. Like red carpet hosting as well. I've only got space for one and the call her daddy girl I've already like welcomed her in. She's cooler than that. Alex. Wait she's cooler than call her daddy. I like her. She's cooler than call her daddy but you also think that she's over. No I'm just saying the internet is discussing influencers wanting to... You Gen Zs confused me. Don't try.

Let them talk. The rate at which things go out, they're like, nah, done with that now. I've got... Like one minute, like, oat lattes are in and then the next day, oat lattes are so yesterday. Are we, Ella, are we over Chicken Shop Girl 2? Is she gone? Am I allowed to talk? Yeah.

I think she's over you more not that she's over Liam. Shut up. Oh, we did it. We got it. We got it. We got it. She's cool. I really like Amelia, the Chicken Shop Girl.

Thank you, Gen Zed, soul arbiter generation of cool. We appreciate it. Thanks for cutting me off. You're welcome. What are we going to talk about? We're going to talk about weddings, disaster weddings. Because obviously there's so much pressure on a wedding day. I've never had one, I'm open to having one,

if anyone is keen. But I've never had one, but from the vibe I get, you've had one, it's a lot of pressure to be perfect. It can be. Because there's a lot of money going into it. It's the special day and it's the big lead up. It's important if you're feeling the pressure, can I do some wisdom? If you're feeling the pressure you should remember that the pressure is all created by you. If you just... Or judgmental relatives. Oh yeah, and if your parents are paying

for it then I'm going to put that to you. So there is a lot of pressure on it right? For it to be perfect. I think what I'm trying to say is remember it's your day, do what you want, take the pressure off and just go what do you and your partner want. Yeah, but even like that aside, like even on the day like you don't want someone tripping over or someone getting sick, you know, like these are all things you just can't control. Totally. Because you want it to be things you just can't control. Totally. Because you want it to be perfect. You can't control the weather?

No. Yeah. You don't want it to rain. There's a couple in Australia where a video from their wedding has gone viral because they're walking into the wedding reception, right? And obviously it's big, like there's a huge wedding. It looks really fancy.

And there's like fire and like sparklers and there's drums playing and the couples coming in and all of a sudden This big flower arch in the background catches on fire Their wedding catches fire. Yes, so the wedding this is inside by the way, so it's inside this venue The flower art arch has caught fire and no one notices for like a good two minutes. Cause they're all focused on the bride. Exactly. They're all standing around in a circle, you know, bashing the drums and having a good time. And next minute, the video cuts to obviously like 10 minutes later after the

sprinklers have been turned on and just drenched every wedding guest including the bride and groom. First of all it's a bad omen for your marriage. Second of all I hope the sparkler cannon was put in by like a wedding planner that was hired so you're not getting the bill for burning down a wedding reception. Because that costs so much money. And third of all I know this is really hard to do, but I hope they didn't let it ruin their day. Yeah. I think it would have ruined it a little bit.

No, I hope they kept a good attitude. The bride didn't look super happy. She looked very wet. Okay, fourth, I hope they took their photos before. See that's glass half full. I like that. I thought we could ask people, did a moment

like this happen, maybe it was at your wedding or maybe it was at a wedding you went to where you just can't write this stuff but something like a disaster happened. Wedding day disasters. The best day turned into the worst day instantly. What about that friend of ours at their wedding, the bridesmaid coming down the stairs? Oh yeah, we had a bridesmaid tumble down two flights of concrete stairs. Just faceplant it. Yep. I know someone who had a death at their wedding.

At the wedding? At the ceremony? At the reception. Oh, that's the worst spot. Just after the speeches before the dancing. At the reception. Oh that's the worst spot. Yeah just after the speeches before the dancing. No. Yes, yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yes, producer Ella's got a question. Did someone die on the dance floor? No. Yeah didn't Sophie Ellis-Baxter wrote a song about it? Oh yeah there was murder on the dance floor yeah yeah. No they died, they were dance floor adjacent.

Call us, text us with your wedding day disasters. No one's gonna call. We'd love to hear about them. Here's Morgan Wallen and Tate McCray on ZM. Kate's here. Hi Kate. Hi Kate. You witnessed a wedding day disaster, didn't you Kate? I kinda did, yeah. What happened?

I was a bridesmaid to my best friend's wedding in December and their reception was at their parents' house just like in their court. Yeah. The best man was like six foot five. He was kind of prone to fainting. Okay. And we think his tie was too tight.

And so he fainted himself and landed through a glass window. Oh no. Oh my God. He'd cut off the circulation to his six foot five brain. Yeah, because of gravity was not on his side. Gravity was not on his side. Wait, so he fell into a glass window, did you say? Yes, he was standing in front of the bride's parents' bedroom ranch slider.

Was this during the ceremony or after the actual ceremony? During the ceremony. He fainted through a plate glass window during the ceremony? Yes. Was he okay? Did he get cut? Yeah, they had rental type CEOs and he tore it up a bit, which wasn't too good. But through all the photos, he managed to make it through them and he looked a bit gay.

So we think he had a bit of a concussion. But he wouldn't get sick. He's like, I may have a concussion, but I'm still getting on it. This is my goddamn wedding. That's a good story, Kate. Thank you. That's a crazy story. We're asking for wedding day disasters,

someone said we had a power cut at our wedding which lasted two hours, but the silver lining was that the candles made the venue look amazing. That's glass half full right there. That is glass half full. I hope you hired an acoustic performer for your wedding. And he was able to just. Oh my god, can you imagine what it would have been magical?

Because the DJ wouldn't have been able to do much. Unless he had a UE Boom. Unless he was a tap dancer. Come DJ. Play the spoons. Imagine. He gets out the spoons. This is another glass half full.

They said, great wedding, but my brother died unexpectedly about 36 hours before the wedding. Buzzkill, mind you, we didn't care about the silly stuff, like whether the flowers or the weather was gonna be okay. Yes, we still got married and it's 20 years ago now. I love the idea of describing your brother passing away suddenly. Buzzkill. 36 hours before your wedding is a buzzkill.

They've obviously got a good sense of humour. Because or else how do you get through something like that? That's the ultimate prank that a brother can play on their sister isn't it? Die before their wedding. Yeah that is the ultimate prank. This one's so good. It says my mother-in-law's dad's phone rung on full noise, not once, not twice, but three times during our 15 minute ceremony.

The kicker, it was his partner ringing, who knew he was at the wedding. Wow. I would be fuming. Yeah, I'd snap. Like one happens. But you know when someone, like if you're at an event and someone's phone rings on loud, then everyone checks their phone and turns it on silent.

Totally. And usually the MC asks you to do that as well. And most normal people's phone has never been off mute once in the last 15 years anyway, except for the mother-in-law's dad. That is the most boomer behaviour I've heard in a long time. This is a ripping wedding day disaster. Someone's texted and said my cousin who was the groom was stopped by police on the way to the ceremony and he was over the limit. He'd been drinking a lot the night before his wedding and he had two whiskeys before leaving the house. He was taken to the police station for blood

tests. It delayed the wedding by five hours. Imagine turning up five hours late, fresh out of the cells. It ruins the day. How do you bounce back from that? Five hours is enough to ruin the day. Yeah. Let's say most wedding ceremonies happen at two o'clock. Mm-hmm. So you're not having the wedding ceremony until 7 p.m. It's probably almost dark. People... There's no time for speeches. You know the hardest thing too in that situation, everyone at that wedding would then know what happened.

You'd have to tell them. Yeah. People would be like, what's going on? Otherwise they'd think the worst. Well, worse than that, which is also pretty bad. Someone said, the heels on my wedding shoes broke right after the ceremony. So at the reception, I had to carefully dance our first dance with broken shoes. Oh but, but it's a there's a metaphor in there somewhere. Yeah.

Dance through the, marriage is about dancing through the pain. No. No, keep going, keep workshopping. Life, life is like a broken pair of heels. It won't always be beautiful but you can do it girl. You were so close. You were so close. I can see that on a tea towel in someone's kitchen. I want a royalty if that happens. The ZM Podcast Network.

We were just talking before about wedding day disasters. Someone texted and said, my stepson took a bite out of the top layer of the wedding cakes before any photos were taken. Locked the bartenders out of the bar and was running wild, shirtless while my mother-in-law tried to catch him. Legendary status. That kid is a party animal in the making. Or he was trying to rebel from you guys getting married.

Like, I don't want this! Yeah, either that or he's a diagnosis waiting to happen. ADHD! It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Time to play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Here we go, Google Down time where we endeavour to find out

who is the fastest Googler out of the team. Is it Clint? Is it Claudia? Is it Ella? Text who you think is going to win to 9696. You could pick up some KFC. Here we go guys, are we all ready to play? I'm ready. First game back with everyone. So this should be good.

I put these questions into Google. I'm looking for the most common answer. The first answer that comes up. If you yell it out first, I'll give you a point. First to three takes the win. Here comes question number one. How many weddings were there in New Zealand in 2024? Oh, 20,383. I'm gonna give it to Ella.

Really? I'll take it. Clint started with 2,000 so he was out and I feel well you guys be honest who was first because I feel like no idea but Ella can have it. You can have it. Nah you have it. Listen to Claudia's voice. Claudia was the least okay with giving that to Ella. It's like vinegar. No I'm genuinely that's fine. It's fine guys move. It's fine. Genuinely. Question number two. What is the most popular breed of dog in the world? French Bulldog.

Labrador Retriever. French Bulldog. Nice Claudia. Thank you. It is the French Bulldog. Has been for a number of years. Is it French Bulldog? According to Google. With all of their problems.

Designer. Designer dog. You could say that's Barkin mad. That's Barkin mad. Question number three, one to Claudia, one to Ella. What is the national flower of New Zealand? Poppy. Corphi.

Corphi. Of course it is! Crack! He bided his time. Me too. John and Zach. I guessed to get that, but I should have waited for the result to come through because I was in the box seat because I'd already wasted theirs. It would have been a smart decision.

But I just wanted you guys to know that that was a guess. Cool man. Do you want to tell us that off air as well? Yeah, if you have time later, could you tell us that story again? I want to hear that story again. See, that was the right moment to use, Sunila. Proud of you. Corphi.

Yellow. Correct. Did you not know? Yeah. Kea kaha. Here we go. Question number four, one apiece. How many times has Mel B from the Spice Girls been married?

Three. No way. Is that a guess? No, that's knowledge. Because we talked about it last week. We did talk about it last week because she got married again for the third time. And Claudia takes that point.

Oh, mate. Bringing her to two. Proud of that. Ella on one, Clint on one, still anyone's game. That was a guess, Clint. That was off the top of my head. No, it wasn't. It wasn't a guess because you just told us

that you already knew it. So an educated guess, would you say? Question number five. How long in metres do anacondas grow? 8.8. Three to five days. Nine. What am I looking at?

I'm going to have to give it to Clint. She says begrudgingly. No, because I mean, Claudia 8.8 is close, but the most common answer on Google is nine meters. OK, fine. 0.8 is close, but the most common answer on Google is nine meters. Okay. It's fine. My anaconda don't want Claudia to have a point. That was good.

That was cool. Two to Claudia, two to Clint, one to Ella. Question number six. How many to Ella? One to Ella. Which NFL team has won the most Super Bowls? New England Patriots. Damn it.

I was going to guess it and I was going to say that. Well, you did it. Don't waste the guess because it's too high pressure. Is it even right? Yeah, it is. New England Patriots. And the Steelers. I did say that though. Eleven. I'm waiting.

What are you waiting for? Pittsburgh Steelers! And? And the New England Patriots! I'm gonna give it to Ella. Haha! Woo! She was the first person to say both. Woah! Twisting the tale. And I was making sure I was listening,

but she was the first one to say both. I'm so happy. Damn. Which means we move to a three-way tie break. A three-way. A three-way. Question number seven. It ain't gay in a three-way.

This is for the win. How many Oscars has there been? It ain't gay in a three-way. This is for the win. How many Oscars has there been? 3,000. How many? 97. 97. Claudia wins, typically. Ella had already answered, which means I need to take it from Claudia. I'm not. Claudia wins, technically. Ella had already answered,

which means I need to take it from Claudia, and she comes through in the end to take it. I didn't even Google it, I waited for her to say it. I'm not proud of that, but I will take that win. I Googled it, but didn't say it. Can I have the point? Not today. Why didn't you say it?

Guys, that was a messy game, but very fun. It was a good game. And Claudia, you take out the win which means Jeremy, you backed in. Claude, you get the KFC. Thank you. Never had a doubt with you. I doubted a couple of times in that game. I also doubted most of the time. 3000 Oscar ceremonies.

God, I wonder if Jesus went to the Oscars. Maybe. He couldn't have hosted the first ones. It was a thousand years before he was born. It's just the T-Ring. I'm so confused. It's a caveman. Was the dinosaurs before Jesus or after Jesus?

Actually, that's a good Google. Well, how did you not win? He went, Jeremy's laughing. Be nice, Jeremy. Be nice, Jeremy. Be nice, Jeremy. We'll get that KFC out to your tooth, sweet, alright? Thank you. Sweet as.

We were going to have a conversation this afternoon about people who have almost famous names. Yes. Like your name is like a syllable or a letter away from being a famous person It's super close and people will comment on it, but it's not the actual famous person's name based off someone You went to school with Claudia. Yeah, so I went to school with Jackie Chen. That's so close Not Jackie Chan, not Jackie Chan, the famous movie star. Mm-hmm Jackie Chen

It itches my like, you know when you hear something and you're saying it wrong. Yeah, you automatically think of Jackie Chan. It's like tibbing my tongue, yeah. Yeah, yeah. When, what, was this primary school? High school. Worse.

Why? Worse, because kids are old enough to make the joke. They're like, oh, where's Chris Tucker? Who's that? The guy Jackie Chan was in Rush Hour with. Nice. What it isn't good for. I'm gonna stay out of this break, I'm not gonna know any references. I'm removing myself. Didn't you have another one as well Claudia?

Someone else said, I know a guy named Alan John. That's good too. Elton John, Eldon John, Ellen John. They're probably friends with Bolivia. Not sure if this counts, but my last name is Dobby and it's pronounced the same way as the well-known house elf from Harry Potter. That counts.

That counts. Yeah. I went to school with a boy named Paul Rudd. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah. I know a Sophia Richie instead of Richie spelled R-I-T-C-H-I-E, it's R-I-C-C-I. That's so close. I went to school with a boy named Ellie Cabebra. No, they didn't. My brother went to school with Peter Pan. No, he didn't. I went to school with a Jimmy Bond. Pretty sure it was actually James though.

It's been a few weeks since we've done this. Did you do it last week when I wasn't here? We did. Oh you did? Claudia has always wanted to play, so she got her wish. How did she go? It took a second for me to warm up, but I got there. It was pretty fun,

either way. It's really fun. She had fun experimenting. Yeah, totally. Don't we all? Yeah. As usual. Hey, dip your toe in. Yeah, that's why I enjoy it so much. Try anything once. If you're wondering what we're talking about, we're talking about Gator. Bree and Bree. Blinks Gator. Let's rock.

The game where we ask one simple question and from there Bree and I will use our Gator to figure out whether you are straight or not. That's pretty much the gist. Today a very random question and Kate is going to go first. Kate, first of all, hi, how are you? Hi Kate. Hi guys, I'm good thanks, how are you? Good. Good. Kate, the question we're asking Gator, if you've only just joined us and if you haven't heard this before, isn't a leading question. No, it can't be, we've decided.

It's just to get the vibe of our participants. So Kate, our question for you today is what is your favorite Tom Hanks film? Favourite Tom Hanks film... I think it's Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump. Oh, it's a great one. It's a classic. It's a great movie. Pretty safe answer. I mean yeah, no one is going to disagree that Forrest Gump isn't a good movie. Is there a gay Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump, gay Tom Hanks movie? I don't mean literally. I mean, like, yeah, I know what you're saying.

I know what you're saying. I don't know. Let's go off Kate though. I think Kate is straight. Straight Kate. What do you say, Bri? I think she's straight. Straighty Katie.

What do we got, Kate? One minute rhyme, so must be true. It is. Hey! Straight Kate. Thanks, Straighty Katie. We appreciate you. One from one in this week's Gator.

Let's go to Paige. Hi, Paige. Hello. Hello. What would you say is your favourite Tom Hanks film? Well, to be completely honest, I know who Tom Hanks is, but I don't know any of the movie season. Okay, I like the honesty. We appreciate the honesty. I just switched it up and I will say maybe Toy Story 4 he voiced in it. Okay, that is correct. He does voice Woody.

Oh wow, that's even better. That might be the gayest film he's done actually, now that I think about it. No, someone just texted in, it's Philadelphia. Oh, of course, yeah. Yeah. Paige, did you say your favourite Tom Hanks movie was Toy Story?

Yeah, yeah, that's what Google told me. Gay. I reckon she's gay. Paige? I am ridiculously straight, thank you. Oh! Yeah, yeah. That's what Google told me. Gay. I reckon she's gay. Paige? I am ridiculously straight. Oh, not just straight, ridiculously straight. Yeah, relationship for five years, still going. I'm playing top.

Okay. I was a girl, I rung up about him leaving cups everywhere and I have a word to pick with you guys. I am not here to pick up. I love you Paige. You're the cup collector in the relationship. You're so much more than that Paige. Don't listen to him. Don't listen to Clint.

No, never. You tell him. You tell him. We didn't get Paige so we are one and two. Let's see if we can get back on track with Briar. Kia ora Briar. Hi Briar.. Hey how's it going? Good thanks. Favourite Tom Hanks movie, Brian? You know the one when he's younger, is it big? Big. Yeah, it's got big yeah. And he talks to the Zoltar. Yeah and he goes to the toy store and plays on piano.

Plays the piano yeah with his feet. One of his very early films. He plays on piano. Plays the piano, yeah, with his feet. One of his very early films. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I'm getting nothing out of your answers. I'm getting nothing. I've gotta go off the vibe of you, Briar.

And we can't ask you any more questions. Isn't that unfortunate? It is very unfortunate. Got an extra question. The name Briar is giving me gays, so I'm gonna say gay. Yeah, she's Briarsexual. Briar, giving me gay, so I'm going to say gay. Yeah, she's Briarsexual. Briar, you're gay.

Well, I don't know what my name's got to do with it. But... I'm ridiculously gay. Yes! Thank you, Briar. The name has nothing to do with it, by the way, Briar. It was just the vibe the name was giving off. Yeah.

OK, we're two from one. Why, no, what? Two from three? Two from three. Mary Kate's here. Hi, Mary Kate. Hi we're two from one. Why no what? Two from three. Mary Kate's here. Hi Mary Kate. Hi how are you guys? Oh she's a lot younger than me that's for sure. Mary Kate and Ashley. Mary Kate what's your favorite Tom Hanks movie? Doesn't probably show my age rather than my sexuality but the Da Vinci Code I reckon. The Da Vinci Code! Wasn't even on my radar, the Da Vinci Code. But such a huge part of the movie landscape.

Yes. Mary-Kate, I'm getting... I'm not getting much from Mary-Kate. I'm not getting any gay vibes. You're not getting any gay vibes. No, and I'm going straight for Mary Kate. Hold on Mary Kate, don't say a word. I need to put my two cents in.

Remember straight Kate, this is Mary Kate, okay? It's a tough question though, it's a really tough question. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say she's had a dabble, which I'll include that to be gay. Okay, if you have dabbled, but you identify as straight for the purpose of this segment, you have to answer gay. And I'm saying you're straight and Bree saying gay. Mary-Kate, what are you?

I'm not gonna admit to anything live on radio, but I am straight. Oh, that sounds like a dabble. I think she gave us the answer without giving us the answer. Thank you Mary Kate. Thank you Mary Kate. No, I'm straight. We've deciphered your Da Vinci code Mary Kate. Hey Mary Kate, you don't need to convince us.

As long as you've convinced yourself over the years. I think I hear, but dabble wasn't one of the things. It's gay, straight, or... That's true Mary I have, but dabble wasn't one of the things. It's gay, straight, or... That's true, Mary Kay. That's dabble da. We'll do that later. And we were moving the goalposts in yours.

We get what you're saying. Let's do one more, even though we're marking that down as a victory. 100%. I think for both of us, we'll count that. James? Hi, James. Yeah, g'day.

Yeah, g'day. Yeah, g'day, James. Let's go straight up the guts. What's your favourite Tom Hanks movie? Freaky Tales. Which one? Freaky Tales. Freaky Tales.

Sweetie Tales? Yeah, an old one. Freaky Tales. Freaky Tales. I'm just Googling it here. Freaky Tales. Oh. Back in 1987 it came out.

There's a remake coming out of it. Yeah. It's a remake. It's a remake. It's a remake. It's a remake. It's a remake in 1987 it came out. There's a remake coming out this year. It came out this year. Okay, we don't know it. So you've gone alternative. James Wyrm. Oh, I just need I need something else from James. What do you know?

Where do you where were you born? No, you can only ask him a question to do with the movie. Okay. What do you know? Where were you born? You can only ask him a question to do with the movie. What do you like about it, James? It was just a good movie and I've just changed my voice. Your voice did just change there James. Are you a fan of Tom Hanks, James? Would you say you like Tom Hanks' work? Tom Hanks was not bad.

Freaky Tales is a new movie. Came out this year with Pedro Pascal. It's set in the 1980s. Oh. Means nothing. James is gay. James is gay. He's trying to throw us off. James, you gay? No. Oh. Oh, you really, you really confused us, James.

We couldn't get you at all, James. I tried to, but you know how it goes. Yeah, well so long as we're the ones confused and not you James, then we'll believe you. That's all that matters. Totally not confused. Okay, very good. Not bad from us. I think we got three out of five. Three out of five. I wasn't really keeping the score but I think that's what we got. Three out of five.

Three out of five. Three out of five. Next week we're definitely including dabbling. Yeah, dabbling is included, even if it was one time in college. That's a dabble. What are the traits that a cool person possesses? According to science, or a study rather by the American Psychological Association they attempted to answer that. Can science

quantify cool? It's a great question. You know is cool measurable? Well maybe not science but I think when you're if you're surveying a bunch of people yeah and there's a consensus there'd be similarities right yeah you get a big enough sample size I think so yeah do you think 6,000 people is a big enough sample size yeah yeah there's quite a few yeah out of 6,000 people how many do you think are cool there'd be quite a few cool people within 6000. And they also... A thousand?

Yeah, maybe. One in six? Yeah, I reckon. One in six people? Could be. Depends. Depends who these people are. I found it interesting though is that the participants were from different countries.

So they included people from multiple different countries. And cool is regional, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So there's six attributes that these 6,000 people, these were the most common things that they said were attributed to a cool person. Okay. So do we want to go through them and then we can discuss?

Because people listening, you can decide if you're cool based on these six traits. And then I reckon we decide here on the Brinklin show who is the coolest. So keep counting your head of how many attributes you believe you have. Okay. So the first one is to be extroverted. A cool person is extroverted, otherwise known as outgoing, sociable. Dumb.

That type of vibe. Interesting, I don't like that. Sounds good to me. What about introverted extroverts? Yep, no, yeah, yeah, introverted extroverts, yep. Is that counted? But not extroverted introverts. Yeah, I. Yeah. Yeah. Introverted extroverts. Is that counted? But not extroverted introverts. Yeah. I think you have to include both. You do. Yeah. Because a part of their

personality is extroverted. I would argue and say introverts are really cool. Me too. I think introverts are cool. No, I'm not even being jokey. Since I get a point and we move on. What about powerful? Oh, this is by extrovert. And by that, I will give you a definition. Strong, influential. I was going to say influential for powerful. Influential and in control. Yep.

Can refer to personal strength, confidence, social status or the ability to make things happen. Cool. Clint's obviously giving himself a dick for that one. No, not necessarily. I don't know if I'll give myself a dick for that. What about adventurous? Oh, Clint.

Oh no. Am I not adventurous? I would say you're the most beige. No. Run of the mill. Like, you know what I would say you are? Consistent. Which is not. It's not a bad thing. Cool. No. Run of the mill. Like you know what I would say you are? Consistent.

Which is not. It's not a bad thing. Cool. Not a bad thing to be consistent. Okay, just one more time that attribute was. Adventurous. Adventurous. Okay, yep.

Next one, open. Oh. Which means. Can you elaborate? Receptive to new ideas, people or experiences, not judgmental and often creative or accepting of difference and change. I'll give myself a tick for that. I'll give myself a point for that one.

What if you used to be open? But age has grizzled you closed. No point. No point. Autonomous. What does that mean? Which means independent and self-determining. Self-directed. Someone who values freedom, makes their own decisions, and doesn't like being told what to do.

Clint, you definitely get a point for that. Although, I feel like... You don't think a person who thinks for themselves is cool? And does what they want is cool? Yeah, they do what they want is cool? Yeah, they do what they think. She just doesn't think that you're cool, and if you get a point for that, she doesn't think it's cool. Yeah, you're conflating the two, you're conflating me and cool.

Yeah, no, I think someone who's like laid back and goes with the flow is quite cool. You've got to let go of your definition of cool and just go off this definition. Sorry, continue. If you just joined us, these are the six traits according to a survey that are attributed to cool people. And the last one, hedonistic. Hedonistic. Hedonistic. Yeah, which means focused on pleasure and enjoyment.

Someone who seeks out fun, comfort, and sensory experiences. Think food, travel, parties. See, hedonism is, and being hedonistic can sometimes be considered a bad thing because they're like, oh, you're only interested in your own satisfaction and self gratification, that sort of thing. But that's saying that that's quite cool. Yeah. Yeah, I see what you're saying. But I don't think I

have that one. Do I? No, I wouldn't say that that would be an attribute. I would say you would be at the top for me. No, anybody? When describing you. No, not really. I like trying new food, actually. Yeah, but that's not quite it.

But yeah. No, I feel like that one is like I am thinking of people I know that are like that. What about one of the girls that used to work here? She went to Burning Man. Oh yeah. And she was cool. And then recently she went to Bali.

She was cool, yeah, she was cool. She's hedonistic. Okay, what did everybody get? How many did everybody get? One. I think I got four. I got four. I think I got four.

Oh, same. Oh. Good work, guys. We're equally cool. Yeah we are two thirds cool. I think this whole conversation has just made us very uncool. It's been incredibly uncool actually. ZM's Brian Clint.

There'll be people who listen to that, that'll be their first time ever hearing that. Yeah, I reckon. And you know what? Go investigate some other run DMC songs. And go investigate some other Aerosmith songs. All of the above. There's a great back catalogue. The ZM Podcast Network.

Here on the Brian Clinch show, we're always looking for cheat codes when it comes to exercise, right? Absolutely. We're still waiting on that pill. Mm, no, it's here, it's an injection. Oh yeah. It's called ozempic. It doesn't make you fit though, it just makes you thin. Yeah. It doesn't make you strong, does it? Yeah they need to invent another. It just withers you

away to nothing. Another injection for the muscles. Oh no wait, steroids. Oh steroids. Yep. Oh that exists. Okay and then you've got to have another injection for the boys after the steroids because that shrinks your testes. Does it? Steroids, yeah yeah. Are you speaking from experience? No but I've looked into it.

You described them off air, they shriveled to be raisins. Not mine but yes that's what happens. Who showed them to you? No no no, no no no, no, no. No, no, no. Don't try and set me up like that. How many men's balls do you think you've seen in your lifetime? Like, serious question. Yeah, yeah. Um... Not a lot.

Not a lot? No, not a lot. What about like in, like, you used to play rugby? Yeah, yeah. And in like in the locker room, in the showers? Yeah, I'm from a pretty modest generation as far as locker rooms go. It was showering your undies type thing. No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Were the boys showering in the undies? Yeah. Were they? My rugby generation were, yeah. And then you would have the odd older bloke join the team. And by older, we were 24, the older guy was probably 32. And he would come and he might be from the UK or something. And he'd come into the

showers buck naked. And everyone else is showering with their undies on. And then it was just, and he was like, oh, well, I guess we don't do that here. Awkward for him. And so those are the balls that I've seen. What his? The guy from the UK, your dad's? Your two brothers? Oh, yeah, yeah. You would have seen them?

Yeah, I don't have any sons. No sons. So that's at least four. Guy from the UK, your dad, two brothers. Anyone else? Mine. Yours, that's five. Who? Who had the biggest sin out of those five?

How did we get here? There's a new type of walking, which could be good if you don't like exercising. It's called Japanese walking. It's blowing up on TikTok at the moment. This is essentially it. The Japanese discovered a walking method that's way more effective than just counting steps.

It's called interval walk training. Three minutes of slow walking, three minutes of brisk walking, repeat for about 30 minutes. walking method that's way more effective than just counting steps. It's called interval walk training. Three minutes of slow walking, three minutes of brisk walking. Repeat for about 30 minutes. In just five months, people saw 20% better aerobic fitness, 50% lower depression scores and big improvements in blood pressure. 50% lower depression scores. What a load of BS.

What a load of... Oh, I'm walking fast and I'm walking slow. My depression is cured. I feel like they've ruined it by overstating its benefits. But I mean, it's fundamentally sound. It's just interval training, but it's just walking version. People who remember former Prime Minister Bill English will remember when he tried to become more relatable

by doing social media. And he made Facebook videos about his run walks. What were his run walks? will remember when he tried to become more relatable by doing social media and he made Facebook videos about his run walks. What were his run walks? Where he would run a power pole, walk a power pole. Oh yeah. Run a power pole. Which is pretty old and it's pretty relatable.

Yeah. Um, and so that's what it reminds me of a Bill English walk run. It makes sense to me. Like when I, cause I've seen this all over my Tik Tok, it's trending. I'm like, oh yeah, that makes sense. I can't do it though. Why not? Cause I'm walking my dogs when I'm walking, I'm walking my dogs because I would never

do that to them. I would never go for a walk and not take my dogs. Cause that's like sacrilege. That's a hate crime. And my dogs, and I got told this one time, they sniff and they go with their scent. They love to just sniff around and they wee and they poo and they do all that. So it would just interrupt my intervals.

My dog would be the same. He wouldn't be able to compute the bit where you walk and the bit where you walk fast and the bit where you walk slow and. They'd be like, what the hell's going on? And you never wanna interrupt when a dog is sniffing. Don't you? Because no, you know why?

And this might change your view on it. You know when a dog, they want to sniff everything. That's like their TV. Yeah, right. That is their entertainment. I heard someone describe it as that's them checking their news feed. Yeah, it's them checking Instagram.

It's the better joy they get. But then I had a dog trainer who said to me that your dog should feel like they are coming on your walk. The walk shouldn't belong to the dog. That's mean. Your dog should, for a well-behaved dog, they should know that they are on your walk. Yeah, but my dogs know that I definitely wouldn't be walking if it wasn't for them.

You're like, look at this woman. You know? We've got to get her out. She needs to go for a lap. You're like, man my dogs really need a walk and your dog's like, this woman really needs a walk. She needs to get out of here. We've got to go.

Let's pretend that we enjoy sniffing stuff just to get her out of the house.
