nationwide now. How good. ZDM's Bree and Clint podcast. Nationwide now. How good. I know this about you, but I'll ask for radio purposes. Are you a big reader? I know that you're not. Yeah, I am. You're not. I'm very well read.

I am. That's why I've got these glasses. Yeah, for reading, hey. For reading, yeah. Because you're doing so much reading. Are you going to ask me? I read captions on TikTok. Are you a big reader?

No. Nah, I don't think I've ever read a book from back to front and I blame my ADHD. Oh okay. It doesn't allow me to concentrate. I would much prefer watch the documentary or movie version. Damn it. You get to blame that. What do I get to blame? Just being lazy. Yeah. I have picked it up a bit but not to an impressive level. Don't lie. I have. Okay. You're not there. You don't know. Okay. You don't know. I'm gonna text your wife and ask her. I set myself, no no. I set myself a goal. You can't lie to me. Reading is cool okay and we shouldn't try and make not reading cool. I set myself a goal last year to read 12 books across the year. And how many did you get through? Two.

Hey, two's great. But it was two more than the year previous. Exactly, hey, and I'm not saying that reading's not cool. I wish I could read. I wish I could read. Wish you could read. I can read! I just can't read.

She's literate, she is literate. I am literate, I just can't read full books. I don't have the attention span. There's a story doing the rounds about Sarah Jessica Parker obviously she plays Carrie in Sex and the City and and just like that where she apparently at the moment is reading two books a day a day she's reading two books and not like picture books she's reading like actual novels. Cause I mean, I could read two picture books a day.

Not the, not the room on the broom, not the Gruffalo. She's reading actual novels. While things are, she's like read it. That's wild. Apparently it's because she's preparing to judge the Booker Prize. Oh yeah, big literary prize. I think about this sometimes when like on the weekends I'll listen to, like if I'm listening to an interview, where

like say a Hosking or someone like that is interviewing someone about their new book, they read the book before the interview. Yeah. I'm like, so they get the book that week and then they interview the person that weekend and you read that person's whole book? I'm like how do you read a book in two days? Remember we had that person call through once and they read, I think it was 15 books a month. It was something ridiculous. Yes, I do remember.

Do you remember? I was like, do you have time to do anything else? I believe our producer Ella is the the bookworm. The readiest reader on this team, would you agree? Sure, yeah. How many books are you getting through? It's not hard.

No. It's not hard. We are making it. It's not hard for you. It's hard for some of us. No, fair enough. And I agree, there's stages where you go through book slumps.

I'm trying to get back into like- I'd love to know what your book slump is compared to ours. Yeah, a little bit better. What's your average month? Oh, okay, one a month. And I feel like that's- Hey, that's good. Not crazy. Like I'm not a crazy crazy reader I want to

yeah TikTok's fun though. I know this is the thing. That's the problem. Do you guys know this is a confession I need to make you know how you get your weekly report on your phone and it tells you the hours you've been on your phone? Yeah. Worst week of my life last week? What's that?

Last week in the last seven days I spent 24 hours on social media. Wait, say again? In the last seven days, I spent 24 hours on social media. So how much is that a day? That's what, it's an entire day a week on social media. You'd rather spend that on the toilet. Or in a book! Oh yeah, or reading a book yeah. Anyway we're

wondering if we can find New Zealand's biggest mega reader. Yeah do you want to have a little bit of a boast on the radio today and be like I read a lot of books. Because I've got so many questions where do you get all your books from? How do you know what to read next? Recommendations. Yeah do you read the same book twice? Can you quote a book? Have you read a book so much that you can quote it? Can anybody beat Sarah Jessica Parker's two books a day? I doubt it. I doubt it. You'd have to not have a job. Like if you're reading two books a day, like you'd have to be retired. You'd have to be sitting down all day. Yeah. Can't walk around and read it, can you?

Does an audiobook count? No, surely not. But I'm technically like listening to her. Two big dummies who don't read. Hey, you speak for yourself. I am. You read. I'm speaking for us. Okay, good. The idea that people like Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and the City can read two books a day, makes our situation worse. Yeah, she is reading two books a day. That's what she said on her social media and it's all to get ready because of some book competition that she's judging. The Booker Prize. I've never heard of it. Yeah right. Ella goes, maybe she's just reading a summary of the book.

But you can't judge a book from a summary. No, I think she's reading the whole book Ella. I tried to get a book summary app last year there's an app that does it and it summarizes the books for you. I just I mean you get the information. Is it the gist of a book? Yes, the gist of a book. You may as well just watch a movie. Yeah, or read. Not every book is a movie. Most books? No, that's... Okay, name a book. Most every book is a movie. Most books. No, that's... Name a book. Most books. Name a book.

Rich Dad Poor Dad. Never heard of that book. Name a book we've heard of. Well, those are the books I was interested in reading, you see. So they're not all movies. Name another book you're interested in reading. Oh, Clint, say Brie Thomas's book. Brie Thomas's book.

There's a book. There is a book. Harry Potter. When's the movie coming out? Harry Potter, there's a movie. Hunger Games, there's a movie. Guess what, To Kill a Mockybird, also a movie. My one claim to fame is I have read The Hunger Games. We want to find New Zealand's biggest reader and that could be you, Sarah. Hi. Hi Sarah. Hi. Come on, lay some steps on us. How many books are you dropping book wise? I just finished a big 600 page and it took me about four days. Wait you

read a 600 page book in how many days? Four days, I've started the next one now it's so good. It's 150 pages a day. I'll go to bed and if I do pick up the book I'll be stoked if I get through four pages. Do you just love it Sarah? Have you always been like that? Yeah, always. Like when I was little, I used to have a huge wardrobe of books and eventually my mum made me stack them along the line and tell me I had to like get rid of them. Sacrilege. Here's the person to ask. Sarah, what is your top two recommendations bookwise? The ones I've just started, the court of thorns and roses. You're on that side. We know what you're reading, Sarah. No wonder you're getting through so many pages a night. Yeah, honestly. Yeah, good for you, Sarah. We're trying to find New Zealand's biggest reader and it could be Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Hi.

What are your numbers like? How old are you, Sandy? 11. 11. And how many books are you reading? I've read, I can read 20 in a week. What? 20 books? 20 books?

Yep. What kind of books? Like novels. Really? Wow. What's the most recent novel you read? Oh, I don't know. I've read too many. What's your favourite? What's your favourite novel that you've read? Probably one of the Harry Potter ones. Yeah. Fair enough. You get through 20 books like a Harry Potter a week? Yep. Do you go to school? Yes. God, you have time

for school and to read 20 books a week. My mum always tells me Sammy for goodness sake put the book down. That's not what parents are meant to say Sandy you're doing the right thing. Yeah. Good on you Sandy. Let's go to Helena. I couldn't even read when I was 11. Hi Helena. Hi Helena. Hi how you going? Good. How many books have you read this year so far? Oh, I haven't kept track this year, but last year it was over 100, and the year before over 100, and then good old lockdown year was 207.

207 books? We were all pretending to work from home during lockdown, but you took it too far. You read 207 books. And that wasn't counting the rereads. Yeah it was just completely new books. 207 new books and you reread some books as well. Yeah. What are you what are you rereading Helene? Like what are the books at the top of your list where you're like oh that was so good I'm

gonna read that again. Well it's more like they make movies and TV shows of books. I had to read all the British and I had to read them again. My wife did that, she re-read one day when we watched the TV show one day. I'm like, how can you re-read them? Anyway. It's like me with The Last of Us, I had to go and re-play that PlayStation game when the show came out. It's the same thing. Have you run out of books yet, Helena? Have you read the Bible? Yeah, read the Bible. You read the Bible? Oh yeah, read the Bible. You've read the Bible! Helena, you need to chill.

Have you read the dictionary? No, that's not fun. I just get a whole lot of books out of the library. They've got a great reserve system because I'm too broke to buy them. I love how you're introducing us dummies to the concept of a library. I'm just going to keep them in business.

Wait, here's a test. Helena, have you read my book? I haven't read your book yet, Bree. I'm gonna send you one. I'm fly, I don't know. Sorry, Bree. No, no, Helena, hey producers, can you get her details? I'm gonna send you one of my books,

so then you'll have to read it. Oh, peer-appreciate, thanks Bree. And then, if you do read it, you will have read the book before Bree has. Yeah. Oh, there you go. I'll have to leave a review for you, Bri. Can you please? Let Bri know what's in it, that'd be great. Yeah that'd be awesome. Someone said I'm currently reading one to two books a week. I'm trying to beat last year's goal of 53, we're way past those numbers. I've read 43 books so far this year, how about this text? Someone said I read four to six books a week and six I read a

book in six to ten hours. Far out that is what you know what you know what's hard for me and I think reading I never knew this when I was younger but I'm a very slow reader like I am a very slow reader and obviously knowing now that I've got ADHD I can't concentrate and then I'll have to go and reread something I just read. Me too, I reread each line that I've read. So I'm just like, oh, it's too frustrating for me. And watching a movie is just way easier.

But I always find people who read lots of books quite sexy. Definitely. You know? Absolutely. You know, Helena just then being like, I read 207 books. I'm like, oh oh hot. Someone just texted I read

255 books last year. Wow, that's five books a week for the whole year God Okay, I literally if I had to let's say Someone magically appeared and they said right if you read 255 books this year give you a million dollars give you a million dollars I don't know if I could do it no I don't think I could get there I think I'd be like you keep your million bucks and I'll keep my sanity. I'm not gonna set myself up for failure.

As I get older I realize that I'm a huge fan for a social experiment okay like because they make a lot of TV shows now where they do social experiments and I'm a huge fan for a social experiment. Okay. Like, cause they make a lot of TV shows now where they do social experiments and I'm so on board. Like Married at First Sight. Yeah. They call that a social experiment, don't they? Yeah, not so much that one anymore. What are the ones you made?

I loved this show, it was an Aussie show where they had people from a nursing home interact with kids from a kindy where they got to hang out and they played together and built relationships with each other over like eight weeks to see if it improved the mood of the people from the nursing home and improved their overall mental health. It was so interesting and it did. Yeah, wow. There's another one I've been watching though

and it's where they get five year olds and they essentially put them in a situation where they should probably tell a white lie to save someone's feelings. Oh, okay. So it's really testing out whether or not five year olds will tell a white lie if it's- To spare someone's feelings. Oh, okay. So it's really testing out whether or not five year olds will tell a white lie if it's- To spare someone's feelings.

Exactly. Right. So the situation is, I've got a bit of audio here. So the first group is the girls, and a woman has come in and given them all jelly, but they've put heaps of salt in the jelly. Oh. And so the kids are eating the jelly and let's hear if the five-year-old girls will tell

a white lie. Yeah, it does smell good. Smells good. What do you think? It's amazing. Do you like it? It's a bit salty, but I like salty. I felt sorry for her.

Why? Because we don't really like her jelly. It's a bit salty, but I like salty. I felt sorry for her. Why? Because we don't really like her jelly. Oh. So there was cutaway shots where they were talking to them afterwards, asking if they told a lie. Yeah. And all of the girls told a lie.

They all said, oh, yum. It's salty, but it's still good. Yeah, we love salty jelly. It's our favorite. Yeah. And then it came to- I feel like that's what my wife does with my cooking. It's like, oh, it's a bit disgusting, but it's our favorite yeah and then it came I thought that's what my wife does with my cooking oh it's a bit disgusting but it's still nice so good thanks then it came time for the five-year-old boys to be put in the same

situation why is there salt in this do you think I should give it to the other kids then you can take it home I told her it was not good. Why did you tell her that? Because it wasn't good. Straight to the point. Just straight down the middle. What would you prefer? It's a weird one. At what age do you really grasp the concept of telling a white lie in the right situation.

Yeah, because on the flip side of that you're told not to lie. Exactly. We don't lie in this house. But obviously there is certain situations. What a weird concept to have to grasp as a kid. It's so hard to actually understand that. Like at what age do we actually learn that? I don't know.

What would you prefer from an adult? Would you prefer them just to tell you? What was it about? Your cooking, let's say you're cooking for example, and it's not good. Would you prefer? Oh, my cooking's always good. Okay, bad example.

Um. Is it something how I look? Yeah, let's say it's your makeup. Okay. It's your makeup and it looks a bit. Can I fix it in that moment? No. So there's nothing I can do to fix it? No, there's nothing makeup. Okay. It's your makeup and it looks a bit. Can I fix it in that moment? No. So there's nothing I can do to fix it?

No, there's nothing you can do. I'd rather you lie to me then. If I can fix it, like if it's something like I've got something in my teeth where I can fix it, then tell me, obviously. But if we're at the thing and you look the way you look already. And there's no change in it,

then you lie your pants off to me. Just don't mention it. i don't think i could lie just say nothing like hey you look like you now now that i think about it every big awards thing i said this to claude the other day i was like clint never tells me that i look nice he's never ever said you look nice or you look great. Isn't that right Claude? I said that to you cause Claudia said to me, Clint told me I looked like, what'd you say? Claudia, I love your outfit. Claudia, it was between us.

Wait, the radio awards, when was it? Two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. What'd you think of my outfit? I thought it was really nice. I don't know if I believe you. I thought it was really nice. You looked really good. You did.

Uh huh. You looked good. You looked like... You're overcompensating now. I like the way Ella had on. Here's Paige on ZM. Rude. ZM's Bri and Clint podcast.

Bri's doing an impersonation of a Galapagos tortoise. Tortoise? Tortoise? Tortoise. A confused turtle and tortoise. Tortoise and you can buy them. Because Goliath, the 234 kilo. Oh good name foros tortoise has just

become a dad for the first time. The first time? The first time. At 135, god he left his run late, didn't he? Didn't he? He's at Zoo Miami in Florida and yeah, he's made it all the way through to 135 before he's decided, you know what, I think I'm ready. I thought he would just be releasing dust at this point. He's flower. He's arguably still a spring chicken. In captivity, Galapagos tortoises can live up to a hundred and

seventy-seven years. I feel like that's cruel. Like do they want to live that long? I've often thought about it because you see like a picture. Like I don't want to. There's a picture I saw of Charles Darwin with a tortoise and they're like that tortoise is still alive because then the tortoise every so if it's in captivity every trainer or what do they call them what's a good someone who tends Galapagos tortoise? Handler. Friend? Yeah. Die. Yeah. They all die. You would just lose everyone they all die you get close to. Yeah the closest thing to being a vampire, isn't it? Or like that movie Age of Adeline.

Yes. With... Blake Lively. Blake Lively. Where she outlives everyone she lives. She lived forever. Yeah. She's like a Galapagos tortoise.

Anyway, that's an old ass dad. And we thought this afternoon we could try and find New Zealand's oldest dad. And I guess we want to know the age at which he became your dad. Like how old was your dad when you were born? Because that's the metric, right? There's gonna be people who are in their 40s now who have got a 90-year-old dad, but that's not what we mean. No, I mean that is technically, yes, an old dad,

but that's not the old dad that we're looking for. We want people in their teens who have a 90-year-old dad. Yes, you know, that's an old dad. but that's not the old dad that we're looking for. We want people in their teens who have a 90 year old dad. Yes, you know, that's an old dad. What do you think is old? Well, I've gone into the archives here. What do you think is the cutoff? What do you think should be the cutoff where the dudes should just hang up, hang up, hang up the balls? Like, think about it.

I reckon you're done. I reckon... What do I reckon? What do I honestly reckon? What do you honestly reckon? It's not unusual for guys to become dads in their 50s these days. I'm not saying what's unusual or what's different. I'm saying what do you think?

I'd find 60 weird. That's when you think it starts to get weird at 60. No offense to our 60 year olds but I'm sure most of us... That's who I'm trying not to offend our 59 and below dads. But I know for a fact most of our 60 year olds would go hell no I don't want to be having kids at 60. Do you want to know the oldest man to ever father a child? Yeah. Verifiably, this is the oldest one they can verify, the oldest man to ever father a child? Yeah. Verifiably, this is the oldest one they can verify, the oldest man to become a father was an Aussie guy named Les Collie and he had a son with his third wife at the age of 92 in 1991. It should be

illegal. Yeah. Like that should be illegal. Yeah. Because like he's gonna, he's probably not even gonna know It's not gonna be around for much. No, no What maximum even if he makes it to a hundred the kid will be eight? Yeah Yeah, with a hundred year old dad so sad anyway, how old can we get? How old was your dad when you were born? Do you know okay? Basically? What's the age difference between you and your dad? That's how we'll work it out. When did you realise that you had an old dad?

Yeah, because it would have been normal for you, for ages. Was it when you saw him taking Metamucil? Yeah. You know, like you were having like fruit loops and he was just having like a bowl of all brand. You had a class trip to Waiheke Island and dad goes. Oh, that's good I get that ferry for free on my gold card like what?

Yeah, or was it that you realize your dad was in the Second World War Like he fought in the Second World War. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, or your dad Charles up. Yeah, maybe your dad was like I remember the day that the Titanic sank. Can we find New Zealand's oldest dad? The ZM podcast network. Goliath the 135 year old Galapagos tortoise has just become a dad for the first time at a hundred and thirty five years old so we're trying to find New Zealand's oldest dad. The age at which... Human dad. Human dad.

Human dad. Very good point. There'd be some tuatara out there. Yeah. Who are giving that Galapagos... We don't want the tuatara calling through again. I'm so sick of the tuatara jamming up the phone lines on the station. They're such prize reptiles aren't they?

They're absolute prize reptiles. They're cold blooded winners. Yep. They really are. They almost ruined that Taylor Swift competition. So can we find some old dads who became dads at an old age? Let's have a look at the text first.

Someone said, Dad was 50 when I was born and he was in World War II. There you go, Bree. What? We got it. That person's 47 now. Does that check out? World War II was like a long time ago.

Yeah, it was less than 100 years ago, so yeah, it works out. They didn't have the kid during World War II. They just had, they went to World War II, then they came back, and then when they got to 50, they had this person. And that person is now 47. Yeah, that's wild.

That's crazy that you're only 47 and you're a one generation link to World War II. That is crazy. That's pretty crazy. Someone said my dad was a second time around dad when he was 56. That's when I was born. And yes, he also served in World War II.

There you go. What? Wow. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. G'day,. G'day. We're looking for old dads. You've got an old mum. Well yeah I've got a sister on 57 and I've got a sister who's 20. Wow. So how old was your parents? Your mum? Mum was 58. Wait a second, Anonymous, your mum was 58 and she had a baby? She did. How? Is that like possible? The normal way, well it wasn't, it was IVF.

Yeah okay so it wasn't her egg? No. Yeah gotcha. Or it was but it was an embryo that had been in the freezer for a bit. Wait, Anonymous, can you just clarify, was it her egg or was it a donor egg, but then your mum carried the baby and had the baby? I think it was my stepdad's egg, but I'm not sure. Wait, where did he get an egg? Well, he's just a little bit older than I am. Well, he's just a little bit older than I am. Yeah, right. Maybe. Yeah, I just know that, well, she had a child at 58. That's wild. I love how you didn't even ask your mum that many questions anonymously.

You're like, oh, good point. I'm not sure. Well, would you ask your mum that sort of question, mate? Well, no, well, yeah, I guess fair point, actually. That's it. Your mum is quite the medical marvel I will say. I know the question you wanted to know though like was it an egg of hers that had been in the freezer? Yeah. But was that possible then? I guess it was only 20 years ago. No I mean IVF's been around since the 70s. Yeah yeah. Since yeah like the early 70s. This person also wants to be anonymous. Hello. Hi, anonymous.

Hello. What's the age gap between your husband and his dad? At 59. What? Wait, so your husband's dad was 59 when he was born? Yeah, and he also was in World War II as well. What the hell? He was in the J-Force, so the tail end end and I believe he lied about his age so he could go.

Yeah right. He was only 16 I think and he lied. And does your husband's dad have other kids? Yes, with another, obviously another wife. And are they older than your husband? Yes, all right. So this is a second time around situation. Yeah. How old is your husband? Yes. Alright. Yes, this is a second time around situation. Yeah.

How old is your husband? He is 39. Yeah, right. Wow. And his dad was born in 1927, I think. That's... Can we ask, Anonymous, is your husband's dad still with us? No, we were 20 and we were playing a funeral.

Oh, see that's so sad. Yeah, that's the downside of having a dad for old. Yeah, they don't last very long. And our time at home when we're in our tweens. Yeah, that's so weird. Yeah, yeah. Okay, thanks Anonymous. Thanks Anonymous.

Fascinating. Some people are texting in to defend the use of metamucil. Look that's okay. It's okay. It's not the core of what we're getting at here. Oh I love some, me myself, I love a good bit of metamucil. Do you? Yeah. It's good for your stomach and someone if you've got upset stomach like me and dairy intolerances, very good for that. Someone said World War II ended 80 years ago this year. So I'm getting confused.

So World War I, there wouldn't be anyone who was at World War I that's still around. World War I was 1914 to 1918. World War I, everyone who fought in that war would be dead. Correct. Yes. And but World War II Yeah, there's still obviously heaps of people. No probably dead as well. No, but Also, all those people that just called up and saying that their dad fought in World War II But the dad was 80 years ago, but then to go to the war you would have needed to have been like 16 as well So you need to be you could be 96 if you were in the very tail end of the war. So they could still be alive technically. They would be very old though.

Yeah, sorry, yeah, I should take that back. There'll definitely be a few World War II veterans out there. Not many though. Yeah, like you said, they'd be 96 or older. Yeah, and back to our original topic, if those veterans had a baby now, they would be in the running to be New Zealand's oldest dad. Nice, we got there. Yeah, it was a good full circle, wasn't it? Wasn't it? Yeah, lovely. We went off the rails a bit with the Metamucil, but we're back.

And that's what we can do in this show, you know, professionals. Hey, that's all you can do. That's all you can hope for. It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. How many? How many? How many? How many? That's a good amount.

Time for a round of how many, the game that you win if you have the most something. And the something today is gonna be what exactly? Hours since you last showered. Ooh. Brooklyn's here. Brooklyn, can you confirm for us that you have bathed in the last 24 hours? No, sorry, I can't.

Ooh. What? Okay. You haven't had a shower in the last 24 hours, Brooklyn? Oh, I've been busy, I've been busy. Have you? That's fair. It is winter. If you went uni, I'd be like every night or two, but at home I'd just take off, I've been busy, I've been busy. Have you? That's fair. It is winter. If you went uni, I'd be like every night or two,

but at home I sort of slack off, I don't do much. Are you on uni holidays? Yeah, yeah, just going back on Thursday after. And are you just rotting in bed at home? Bed rot. No, no, no, I'm out, I'm out. Ooh, but you're out unshowered, Brooklyn.

Not in public, I'm out on the farm, so that's fine. Oh, okay. Oh, that's all good. Yeah, you're good to go. Well, you might winhowered, Brooklyn. Not in public, I'm out on the farm, so I'll spoil it. Oh, okay. Oh, that's all good. Yeah, you're good to go. Well, you might win this thing, Brooklyn. Yeah, you might just win. Well, hopefully.

How many hours since you last showered? Can I say morning? Thir- what? Wait, wait. No, I'm having one tonight. I'm having one tonight. I'm having one tonight. Brooklyn, Brooklyn. Are you telling us

the truth, Brooklyn? Yeah, no, I'm being, I'm having one tonight. I'm having one tonight. I'm having one tonight. Brooklyn! Brooklyn! Are you telling us the truth, Brooklyn? Yeah, no, I'm being, I'm legit being serious. Did you say Thursday morning? Yeah, I got back home on Thursday night. Holy Toledo! This is important. Thursday, what's not? Because you're going to win. Thursday morning or Thursday night? When I had a shower.

Thursday morning with I left uni. Thursday morning. So we've gone Friday morning, Saturday morning, Sunday morning, Monday morning, and now 12 hours on to Monday afternoon. It's a lot. It's over a hundred hours. Are you in a relationship at the moment?

No. Oh yeah, okay. Cause I was gonna say, have you? Brooklyn, have you? No. Oh yeah, okay. Yeah, because I was going to say, have you? Brooklyn, have you? No. You've changed clothing items, haven't you Brooklyn? Oh yeah, like twice a day, yeah. You're changing undies, eh? Yeah, of course. Okay, good. Pick the person you want to go head to head with. You need to have more hours under your belt. Do we need to? Yeah, you do. We need to follow through process. Just give her a prize. Yeah, just give her the prize. Do you want Ella, Claudia, me or Brie?

I'll go Brie. Brie, how many hours since you last showered? Um, it's probably about 19. Oh, you showered yesterday night? Because I'm a night shower. You're a night shower. Yeah. So I'm going to say off the top of my head, carry the one, plus minus.

I think Brooklyn has blown my time out of the water. Brooklyn, mine was five, five hours ago. You were like a hundred and four. You know, I would have assumed you guys would shower often because I don't like work publicly. So like I don't have to shower. If I work publicly, I'd shower all the time. I wish I didn't work publicly

because I feel like I'd be in Brooklyn's boat as well. Can anybody in the producers booth beat Breeze19? I know we're not going to beat Brooklyn but... No, I'm proudly on six. Six hours? Yeah, I was 9pm last night. Yeah right, you're on top of that. Oh so you're the same as me.

What's the math? You're the same as me. Wow Brooklyn, you stinky sausage. We've got 50k ofFC chicken dollars coming your way. I think that's amazing. Thank you guys. I don't think anyone has won so convincingly as Brooklyn. No, that was a definitive victory.

Yeah, yeah. That was well done from you. I'm horrible at showers when I'm home. This game is susceptible to lying, but I 100% believe Brooklyn. Yeah. I do. No doubt in my mind. I believe it. Hey, you enjoy your first shower since Thursday tonight, okay, Brooklyn? Perfect. Thank you very much. No worries. Make sure you get all your fragrant zones twice, okay? See you Brooklyn. See you guys. I love her. She's on the farm. Aye it's honest. She's on the farm.

You know? It's winter. Yeah. It would be way worse if it was the heat of summer. I reckon I could go 48 hours max. Before you got whiffy? Oh no, before I couldn't handle it anymore. How long do you reckon before you got whiffy? 15. Oh No, 24. We should test it. Let's test it. You can do the sniff test.

Hey, someone has broken something at a museum again. Why do they leave really valuable things out in the open? I know it's so that people can enjoy, but we can't be trusted. We can't be trusted. This is why we can't have nice things. No. You're right. People need to be able to connect with history for it to be relevant, but people just prove

time and time again that... They're idiots. Yeah. We're all idiots. Yeah, all of us. Yeah. This one has happened over in the UK. A chair dubbed the Van Gogh chair by an Italian artist. So it's not actually he didn't have anything to do with it.

Van Gogh didn't make the Van Gogh didn't have he didn't make the chair. But the Italian artist by the name of Nicola bowler Made it because of that famous painting that he did of the chair. Okay, but here's the thing it's covered with hundreds of Swarovski crystals and is extremely fragile and delicate and also is worth around $50,000. It's worth a whole lot of money and it's dedicated to Van Gogh.

I love how some artists has, because I've had to Google the Van Gogh chair. You know the chair. I kind of recognise the painting. Yeah. But then some artists has gone and just gone a tribute to it. He's just put out a vegezzled Van Gogh chair.

Covered in crystals. Crystals. But it was at the museum, in any way, these two people's walking through the museum, it's all caught on CCTV. At first, she, it's a husband and wife by the looks, she kind of bends down to look like she's getting a fun photo where it looks like she's sitting on the chair but she doesn't actually sit on the chair. Hilarious. That one will go in the photo album when they get home. And then he walks over and he decides he actually wants to take a seat on the chair. He's a big boy. He is quite a big boy and the chair...

Oh it's folded. Is flattened. It's like that scene out of Shallow Hell. The chair just gave way, the legs went out. Oh, then they just gap it. Yeah. Oh, they just leg it after destroying the artwork. Apparently, the chair has been fixed after quite a lot of money. He also, as the chair has collapsed, he's fallen into the painting

that's behind the chair. What an idiot eh? Two for one. Did we know if he was asked to pay for it? Is it like a you break it, you board it type situation? It doesn't say. It doesn't say. How humiliating. It is awkward though. Yeah. I wonder what the rules are around that. Like he's clearly had a seat. We've done a few of these stories before where children have destroyed priceless artifacts

and artworks. Yeah, that's different though. Kids don't know better. Adult man with his wife. Have you ever, I mean, side note on that, have you ever sat on a chair and broke it? Yeah I was at a barbecue one time. Oh it happened to me this summer. I was sitting on a deck chair at my brother-in-law's house and it was one of those ones where it's like a recliner. After Christmas or before Christmas?

After Christmas. I was feeding his cat and it was one of those ones with a bit of material that's kind of slung and the material supports you and it's got a frame that holds it at either end and I lay in it and I was on the phone to my friend and then just a short sharp crack and I hit the deck. But no one else was around? No one else was around. Oh see that's so lucky. Why? Because there's nothing more embarrassing in my opinion. That someone's. Especially, I feel like it's just there's more weight on it. I shouldn't have said weight. Well that's what it was essentially. Like as a woman like I have broken a chair and it was at a barbecue with multiple people around

and it's just so humiliating. People try to make you feel better eh? It was one of those, oh I was old, it was old. It was one of those green plastic chairs and that's exactly what people were saying, oh it's so old. It was brittle, it was brittle, they break all the time. It's obviously deteriorated over time. Here let's get you a nice firm concrete surface to sit on. Yeah let's sit you on the ground. Let's get you a load bearing retaining wall to sit on. Don't go near my lazy boy chair, I love that chair. bearing retaining wall to sit on. Don't go near my lazy boy chair I love that chair. Play Zed Eames, Bree and Clint. 49 year old man has asked reddit if he is in the wrong for abruptly ending a relationship with a woman after finding out about her debt. Oh okay. He said that they'd been dating for a fair while, I believe over a year.

Yep. And he knew that she wasn't in a great financial situation. She's got five kids that she's raising on her own, two of which still live at home. But he learned that she is about $200,000 in debt. And he said, no, don't like it. I'm ending the relationship. That's not what I want. It seems a bit cut and dried. It does, doesn't it? Like... You know what? Because I always look at the comments. I always want to see what the vibe is. And a lot of people are saying, yep, I would have done the same thing. Yep, you've done the right thing. But it says in here, he says,

he actually says, I love her. Like I'm in love with her and she's a great person. Like he's the victim. He's like, this hurts, this pains me to do. Yeah. And I'm like, you're the a-hole. It depends on what the debt is too like is it mortgage debt? I believe it's um yes I did look that up so if it's after pay debt that's pretty hectic. Has a student loan yeah um so she obviously went to uni. Yeah that seems fine. Medical bills are some of it yeah uh there is a bit of credit card debt and she is paying off her car as well. Right okay. Yeah still like I mean anybody with five kids

would be in some level of debt in 2025 and you kind of would know that when you get together with someone if he's been with them for a year. Yeah of course people... Maybe she lied about it and he was a bit miffed about that. Yeah, it doesn't say that she did. This is what he says. Cause he talks about how being fairly financially savvy and stress free and good with his money is important to him, right?

And then he says, I've worked hard to get to where I'm at and can't stand the thought of marrying someone in this kind of financial shape. I do love her but the stress that would go along with it all just isn't worth it to me. Oh god she's better off without this guy. I don't know, I find that real yuck from him. He's looking at it then that once you marry someone their debt becomes your debt. Unless you've got a prenup but we've talked about how romantic you and I Yuck from him. He's looking at it then that once you marry someone, their debt becomes your debt. Unless you've got a prenup, but we've talked about how romantic you and I find those.

So romantic. Yeah, it seems a bit cold. Yeah. It does seem a bit cold. I mean, you're saying that you love this person, but oh, sorry, you've got debt? Oh, I can't deal with that. Because being in debt is not...

It's a part of life, in my opinion. Like, we're all in debt. We're all in debt. In some way. Like, whether it be a car loan, whether it be a mortgage. If her debt is getting bigger and, like, if she's like, oh, I just can't stop... If it's like confessions of a shopaholic.

And she's just running up the credit card and they've talked about it, that's different. That's very different. But we don't know we don't know this is right that he has gone He obviously let a ball someone takes her and they said he obviously doesn't actually love her Yeah, I agree if he actually truly was in love with her. It's not a for better or worse situation Is it not not saying he should? but Hey, did you ever date someone that

had debt? No. Apart from the usual like student loan stuff like like the same kind of debt that most people have but I didn't I didn't I've never been in a relationship with someone who was drowning in like credit card debt or something. Yeah right a friend of mine was in a relationship this was pretty hectic actually this is back in Aussie so they won't hear it if like credit card debt or something. Yeah, right. A friend of mine was in a relationship. This was pretty hectic actually. This is back in Aussie, so they won't hear it if I'm talking about it.

But they dated for like, it was like four years they'd been in a relationship. And then my friend eventually found out that they had, their partner of four years had like a quarter of a million dollars in debt. To what? And you know why? Gambling problem. But had hit it so well. Yeah and a lot of people do. Yeah but was in the hole for $250,000. People who are addicted to gambling, that's a horrible thing. Isn't it? What's the word? It's insidious. Horrible. Doesn't have to be debt but we want to know if you have been involved in a breakup

because of money. Maybe. Maybe it was money the deciding factor. Yeah maybe you were dating someone and they just ended up being so cheap. Yeah. Like I've had friends of mine where they've broken up because, and it's just because you don't align when it comes to that type of thing. You might have broken up with someone because they refused to get into debt. They're like, hey, you know, we can, we can get a house. So you can't move forward. No, no, I just, I just won't do it. Yeah. Well, maybe you broke up when somebody came into

a lot of money and they changed as a person. If money was the deciding factor in the end of a relationship you were a part of, we'd be keen to hear about it this afternoon. Yeah. ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Ooh, lot of people have something to say about breakups that had something to do with money.

Yeah. I mean, money is always a big point of contention. Yeah, and it depends on your relationship with money too. If you're from money, if you're not from money. Let's start with this text. It's nice and simple. They said, our washing machine shed itself. He didn't want to have to buy a new one.

So we fought about it and he dumped me. That would not have been about the washing machine. Yeah, no. Surely. Well, I mean, who knows? Someone said I dated a cheap guy who had heaps of passive property income and wouldn't even buy a full price Barker shirt to attend my family dinner. So many other issues but the day he did that I was like... The day he didn't buy the shirt?

Yeah he was like no we drove to visit my family in my car so I put him on a bus back home. Send him home on the bus. This person wants to be anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hey guys, first time caller. Wait a second. Yeah. Wait a second.

Hold on. First time caller. Oh, mate, wait. Call me off guard. And you could call back again with your real name and you could do it again Anonymous. Anonymous you were involved in a breakup that included money, tell us about it. So this was actually like one of my best mates of many years, we'd school with them, but it was just kind of when you guys were talking about that it hit me out of the blue and I was just like felt like it was a good good example. Basically they'd been like high school sweethearts for years etc. They were together for like five, seven years by the end of it

and they just had a kid together and like I'd heard things from him on and off but it turned out at the end that they broke up because that whole time that they've been together he bought a house and was paying off a mortgage and she was living with him, not paying any rent, like just helping with bills occasionally. But for five to seven years, she did not build up any savings. Yeah, right.

So they were both working full time, like, you know, looking at starting a family. Yeah. I know, I heard that they'd had some discussions around credit card debt before. Yeah, right. And she was supposedly like getting a handle on it and she was supposedly-

So they're on different pages when it came to money. Sounds like very different. Did you say that they had a kid together? By the end of it, just before, just as this happened and he found out that she'd like had no savings and did have credit card debt still and it hadn't changed. But by then she's the mother of your child and that's the house that your family lives in. Yeah it's a bit different then. It changes things. I guess what this comes down to is you need to be on the same page.

You need to be on the same page of the person that you're with. You need to align with everything, essentially. This one's quite interesting. It's an inheritance one. Okay. It says, I dated a guy who inherited half a million dollars when I met him and when I left he had only $50,000 left. He spent it all on very illegal things so I won't elaborate.

I didn't get with him or leave him because of the money though. He blew $450,000. On what? On illegal things. Was there any man left by the end of that? Yeah I don't know if there'd be much of him left. This person wants to be anonymous too. Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous.

Hello, how's it going? We're good. Did you break up because of money, Anonymous? No, I got broken up because of money. Oh, okay. Give us the details. So I ran a pest removal business in Australia. Okay. And I took out a 15K personal loan

to further the equipment, buy a new vehicle and whatnot. My partner at the time, her parents owned a massive law firm and she's getting a pretty good inheritance of $10,000 per week. A week? Yeah, a week. She was getting $10,000 of money from her family's law business. From her parents. How rich were the parents?

They were bowling at a $10 million mansion on the Gold Coast. Obviously. Right on the estuary. Yeah. That's half a million dollars a year. That's crazy money. It is. Okay. Yeah. It is. And so I was making a fair bit for my pest removal business. So I'll pay for our getaways, I'll pay for lunch, I'll pay for whatever, you know, pretty casual stuff. And she probably only contributed about 5% of the time, which, you know, I didn't mind too much. And yeah, her parents gave her the ultimatum of either break up with me because I had a loan or, you know, she gets her money cut off. What? No way. And did she choose the money? She chose her money cut off. What? No way! And did she choose the money?

She chose the money. But aren't you glad though, Anonymous, that that did happen? True colours. Because you see the true colours and you're better off. Oh definitely, and I always felt our place going to gatherings at their family's house, you know, all of them were massive

jobs and... That is like some movie plotline shit,, where the parents, like, but normally they'd come up to you, don't you wish they came up to you and they'd be like, we'll offer you $20,000 to leave our daughter. To never speak to our daughter again. Honestly, I would have declined it if that was the case. Yeah, because you're a good person. Yeah, because you'd be like, I want 50. I know you're giving her 10 a week. Yeah, I want're a good person. Yeah, because you'd be like, I want 50. Yeah. I know you're giving her 10 a week.

Yeah, I want at least 50. My partner of five years left when his father's inheritance came in. He moved to Thailand a month later, leaving all contact behind with dad's inheritance. Do you think that's true? I wonder how much the inheritance was. Someone said, is the pest removal guy single? We can find out for you. Yeah, we can find out.

We can find out for you. Someone, we can find out. We can find out for you. Someone said my ex would steal from me. I'll never forget looking for my last $20 for petrol and he had stolen it. Okay, that's a great reason to break up with someone. If they're actually legit stealing from you, probably time to move on. Yeah, I think. I don't know much about red flags. But that's a big one. But I reckon. The number one for hit music, Zed M. Probably time to move on. Yeah, I think I don't know much about red flags, but that's a big one

The second one is Timmy Trumbas. Dance Monkey. Kimbra and Gotye, Carly Rae, Foster the People, And X is a nose. That's it. Oh, there's some box in there, isn't there? Shotgun Carly Rae Jepsen called me, baby. Shotgun Walk the Moon. Shotgun D&ZE.

Shotgun! Somebody that I used to know. Okay, good. Okay, good. Oh, that felt good. So, um... What just happened? Yeah.

I panicked. That was scary. All back to horse. And none of us are against each other. Oh yeah, they're all in different battles. Oh really, so we could all go through. Shut up and dance is against freaks. No, you shut up. Sorry. Dance monkey is against somebody that I used to know.

Call me maybe is against pumped up kicks. Wasn't this fun? We didn't even mean to do that. And Picked by the Ocean is against X as in O. Oh, this is great. I feel like holding hands and jumping around in a circle. The downside to that is, all four of our songs could be gone tomorrow. Oh, that's such a good point. I don't believe it.

I don't believe... Wait, should I... Do you want a very early, early date? Yeah, preliminary results. Okay. I could move to Pumped Up Kicks if you want. You're jumping... The first battle, the first battle, Shut dates. Yeah, preliminary results. I could move to pumped up kicks if you want. The first battle, shut up and dance, which is you, Clint. And freaks.

And freaks. It is 50-50 on the money right now. I encourage people to go and vote for Walk the Moon, shut up and dance right now. You can't separate them. Dance Monkey, Tones and I versus somebody that I used to know which is you Ella Somebody that I used to know is killing it See you in the finals and Call me maybe Carly Rae Jepsen pumped up kicks Carly Rae's 58%

So it's in front at the moment, but still tight And cake by the ocean is taking down X's and O's L King. 56 plays 44%. We didn't research or discuss but we have picked very well. This is awesome. Good horses everyone. We could all be in the final tomorrow. Feel free to text us. Now if you think you know what the overall winner is going to be. What do you think is going to take it out? The biggest and best one hit wonder from the 2010s. Five o'clock Thursday. Yes. Is when we will know the winner. So it's anyone's game at this stage. Anyone could win. Except maybe Dance Monkey.

Yeah, Dance Monkey's pretty out at this stage. It's done well so far. Yeah. Do you want to know a wild stat about Dance Monkey that I read today? Well, give me a second and I'll find it. Because it was a hit in 2019 and just from the Spotify streams Tones and I made 12 million dollars. On Spotify, that's my Dance Monkey fact. It's a good fact. On Spotify, Dance Monkey became the most streamed song by a female artist ever, surpassing 3 billion streams. It was also

named the most shazamed song of all time by Guinness World Records. So on numbers it probably is the biggest one hit wonder of all time of the 2010s. What about Call Me Maybe though? I think this is bigger. Because Kali Rae didn't get to experience streaming when it came out. Has Call Me Maybe had how many? How many did you say? Three billion for Dance Monkey. This has 1.7 billion. Still huge.

Who is listening to Call Me Maybe that much? It's on my playlist. Is it? Yeah. You know? Well it's your song so. It's on my, when I'm doing legs, strength. Oh is it?

When I'm doing weights. Does that one get to you up? Yeah. You know? Yeah. I thought you'd have Cake by the Ocean for your squats. That too. On the deadlifts, you know.

The ZM Podcast Network. Time for the tea. This is the tea. Katy Perry be buying her Katy Katz drinks over in Aussie. So she's there at the moment touring. She's on her world tour that isn't going amazing but hey she's doing it she's out there she's doing it living her life it's not it's not garnered the reaction that she'd hoped no this new album and tour right unfortunately it

hasn't but I would say I don't know if she cares but I would say respect to her for still doing it yeah because she has fans that want to see it and it would be very easy like Drake did just just to cancel the tour. Exactly, but no, she's out there. Not only is she doing that, she's also being spotted at Melbourne night clubs, buying everyone in the club a drink. Oh, that's good press. See, that's great press.

It's good PR, KP. That really is. So she was spotted at a very popular Melbourne Pooftoff and yeah, bought everyone in the place a drink, but she also, people- What's a Pooftoff? A Pooftoff is like, you've never heard of a Pooftoff? No.

It's like a gay club. A Pooftoff? Yeah, and it's a type of music, like a Pooftoff. Yeah, right, okay, yeah, yeah. And obviously Katy Perry's a big fan. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, obviously Katy Perry's a big fan. It's a lot of fun. It's a big party. But she was spotted without her engagement ring on.

That's the other big rumour, isn't it? Her and Rolando are on the skids. God, how arrogant are we pitying Katy Perry at the moment? We're like, oh, good on her for doing her world tour. She's fricking Katy Perry, okay? Yeah, she'll survive. She's worth tens of millions of dollars. She's a multi-platinum artist. I hate to say it though, if the breakup rumours are true, I feel like the next album will get her out of flop-tropicana. Club-flop-acana.

Yeah. Like I feel like, you know what I mean? Like a breakup album might send her back in the right direction. She needs to do her Adele album. Yes. Well, that's the tea.
