Yes, hello. Good afternoon. No place I'd rather be. Clint, well, he'd rather be at home today. He's a bit under the weather. He'll be back tomorrow for a Friday, but I've got the gal pals in, producer Ella and Brooke from the late late show.

Gide, Goulde, good to be here. Happy Gullible Day. What? It's happy gulable day. It's gullible day. Is this how we're going to start the show? No, it is. Happy gullible day.

Look, I know you guys are Gen Zs and I am a millennial, but I'm not fooling for your crap this afternoon, all right? It's also red it on the ceiling. All right, that's enough. Coming up on the show, We've got heaps to give away, actually. We've got Beast of a Feast tickets.

We'll do that after 5.30. Also, we're taking more entries for our Lord box. This is a sold-out show in Christchurch. And if you want to be in the corporate box, we'll be there. All you have to do is text Lord and what you can add. What are you bringing? I said duct tape and that wasn't enough. Oh, that's good.

I mean, I do love a good role of duct tape. It does everything, does it not? But Brooke, these are corporate. box tickets. I'm talking free food, free drinks all night. A siggy. Wait. Wait. No. No, I don't believe we can do that in the corporate box. No. But we will have some of the best seats in the house to watch Lord. Oh, I'm fizzing.

It's going to be incredible. Heaps of good entries coming through. Some that I don't think legally. A child? I don't know if we can redeem that. Yeah. Yeah. We will look into the T's and Cs. But get your entries in for that. Lord. and what you can bring to the corporate box. Also, what's the plot is worth $1,100. I must say, you have done so well because the whole premise is you go hit to head with another caller.

Yes. And you try, guess the plotline of a movie. You, for the past, how long now, have, like, bit so many callers? 22 weeks. Unbelievable. She, 22 weeks. It could go today, though. It could easily go today.

We're a bit in disarray. There's people away. so it could be yours, $1,100.100. We'll do that around 4.30. And right now, Trady versus Lady, 50 bucks, up for grabs, thanks to KFC. If you want it, come and get it. 0,800 dials at M right now. The ladies are head by one. Play Z-Eames, Bree, and Clint. It's time to play Trady versus Lady. It's Trady versus Lady. Three, two, one. Let's go.

I mean, it is the tightest game in radio at the moment, guys. The tradies on 85, the lady's on 86. We really can't split them. But we will today. Let's meet our lady. She's from Parmy North. She's 22. And she was born without pinky knuckles.

Please welcome to the show, Paige. Hi, Paige. Hello, hello. So what does that mean for the use of your pinky fingers? Well, they don't. Like, they're kind of social distancing from the rest of the fingers. They don't, like, it won't go in. And I've got a very small pinky.

And I've got obviously a lopsided, like, when I have a fist, it's lopsided. And I went to the doctors when I was younger. He just said I'm weird and to be careful when I punch stuff. He didn't say don't punch stuff. He said, just be careful. You just be careful when you do. Yeah. So, yeah.

And I mean, let's be real. The pinky finger. Who cares? If you had to sacrifice one. Oh, guys, you're going to take your pants. I'm thinking Michael's for granted now because I tell you, it's actually horrendous. How are you going to Pinky Promise? Oh, that's true.

Oh, but it's still there. Right. Page is like, I still got him. I still got him. I just can't bend them. Very interesting fact, Paige. Let's see who you'll be taking on the Trady this afternoon. Hales from Wellington, 37, and he can name all the countries of the world.

Please welcome to the show. Charles. Gide, mate. Oh, God, I've called all up. That is quite incredible. How many countries are there? Oh, no, we've lost him. We've lost Charles, and we've got Paige back.

Yeah, it just hung up, so I think he might do the same. Sorry, Paige. One sec. We'll get Charles back in a second. Here are the rules. Your buzzer is Lady, Paige. Charles's buzzer will be tradie. When you think you know the answer, please shout out your buzzer.

First to get three correct, we'll take home the win. I think we're just getting Charles back now. We are ready to go. Sorry, we're a little bit short-staffed here. Charles, are you back? I'm back. Thank you, mate. Did you hear the rules?

You buzz in with Trady when you think you know. First to get three right will win. Everyone ready? Here we go. Question number. I don't know if we've got page on air. One sec. I'm here.

Paige, you there? Charles, you're here? Now we've lost Charles. I don't know how to get one at the same time. That's the problem. Oh, no. What do we do? What do we do?

Hang on. We can figure this out. I think we might go to a song. Sorry, we're short-staffed here. We'll go to a song, figure out how to get boat. There we go. Well done, under pressure, producer Ella. God, we press on.

Question number one. The only way is up from this point. Beyonce is married to which other famous, yes, Charles? Jay-Z. It is, of course, Jay-Z. Well done. One to the Trades. Question number two.

What is the name for a group of sheep? Trady. Yes, Charles. Flok. It is a flock. I also would have accepted a herd or a fold is another name for a group of sheep. Okay, two to the

tradies. Paige, you need this one to stay in it. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Charles just got in there. It's Linda on. And that is the win. God, once we got there, you were

away and flying, Charles. Sorry, Paige, you didn't get a look in. It's all right. I also don't have a pinky knuckle. I can't win. Hey, Paige, you're a winner in our eyes. But, Charles, you are technically the winner and 50 bucks is coming your way. Nice work, mate. Oh, thank you. Sorry, Paige. Oh, good sportsmanship. It's all right, man. Good sportsmanship. You've got the name of my cat.

Paige, you're a Puzzy G. ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast. Clint away today. The girls have given me a hand. I saw this interesting video that was talking about a workplace. that has quite a full-on rule. I'm not a big rule person. No, there's obviously like, not rules, but like protocols. You know, it'd be a good person. Which is another word for a rule.

Do you reckon? Is this a soft rule or a hard rule? This is a hard rule. Like, I'm all for, like, soft, like, manageable rules, but this one I feel like is just next level. And unnecessary. So essentially, I believe the gist of it, It's a company where everyone is remotely working.

So they're all working from home essentially. Is that you have to have pants on at all times? Yeah, see, I wouldn't take that job. You have to wear a tie. Because that's, that rule's just ridiculous. I'm so happy we don't have that here. Yeah, same. And it's cool that it's at the office as well.

Yeah, I like your little pink undies there. That's an HR issue. Anyway, this person started working at this company and found out about this very strict rule. I'm going to read you this email. Hi, I noticed there's a delay in your response on our chat earlier today. We have the five-minute rule. I just wanted to check in to make sure everything is okay and to remind you of our policy. If you're stepping away from your desk for a break or any other reasons such as going to the bathroom,

please notify the team so we're aware of your availability. This helps us stay aligned and ensures nothing is missed. Thank you. This helps us stay aligned. Corporate speak. Does corporate speak like that? Get in the bin. So essentially, they've made this a rule.

I believe so that people can't not do any work. Because it's work from home. So it keeps people strapped to their laptop. Yeah, well, that is like, it's an unspoken rule of like you work from home. You kind of can do the work. and watch a bit of YouTube right wait what just a little bit I mean we do that at work no I don't do that yeah but like yeah surely why are you winking at us I'm not winking don't you don't you do that I feel like it should be measured on isn't it always measured on the amount of work that you're doing

anyway whether it's do the work you're still checking boxes I feel like if I was the boss right I would give people a certain amount of work and if you get your work done then yeah I don't see why you have to be then strapped to your laptop but I mean I'd be a cool boss let's be real yeah you'd be super chill it'd be a cool and hot box also what if I was replying to other messages and I didn't reply to your message within five minutes

maybe I'm doing other work five minutes is hecked is way too hectic five minutes I feel like 20 half an hour an hour is that how long your YouTube shut up steps run for it's actually a neon

I'm watching neon how long's an episode yeah and if you're going to monitor five minutes like then monitor my lunch break so it's perfectly half an hour. Don't be messaging me on my lunch break now, Nancy. That's a great point. I feel like five minutes, way too short.

It got me thinking about other workplaces where they just have ridiculous or stupid rules. Micromanaging. Yeah, I want to know from people this afternoon. Did you work at a workplace? Maybe you still work there. You can be anonymous if you want. I just want to know what the stupid or outrageous

ridiculous rule was at your workplace. where you were like, why? My sister gave me this, that she, on her birthday at her workplace, has to bring food in. What? The birthday person? Like, it's, oh, it's my birthday this week. Wednesday will have pizza. What?

Yeah, weird, eh. But also, they get masseuses. Oh, yeah, so I feel like it's giving time. I mean, pros and cons, pros and cons. 0,800 dials at M, or you can text us on 9-696. What is the stupid, outrageous rule at your workplace or somewhere you? used to work. There is, Franklin.

Talking about weird or stupid, ridiculous rules you had at a workplace after this story has come out about a workplace where everyone works remotely and apparently you, if you're leaving your laptop for more than five minutes, you need to tell people where you're going. I'm going to be away doing a poo for eight minutes. Do you really want their message? Like, come on, guys. There's some text coming through. someone said five minutes is nowhere near long enough we agree

the lights in our bathrooms at work are on a five minute timer I can confirm nowhere near long enough for a toilet break sometimes and a doom scroll on the loo isn't that outrageous that they've put a timer on the lights we have that at work do we I don't think it's five minutes it's not five minutes yeah and I've had to message a friend to come in and wave their arms because it's dark is it pitch black in there

Pitch black. Oh, no. Do they do that so they know how long you're going? Or is it like an energy saver thing? Probably that. Or sometimes you don't want to see what's going on in there. That too. Let's talk to Jack on 0800 dials at M.

Gidey, Jack. How's going? Good, thank you. Do you have a stupid rule at your workplace, Jack? Yeah, it is a bit like that. Every morning we have a meeting, no matter what morning is. Okay. Yeah, at least half an hour, sometimes up an hour.

Yeah. Is it pointless? Is that the annoying part? Why, is it just a meeting to have a meeting? Yeah. Yeah, 90% of them are pointless. Oh, gosh. Do you remember what happened in this morning's meeting, Jack?

Hi, yeah, actually, we talked about the movie Trong. Oh, one of those meetings. You're kidding. And does it throw your day out, Jack? What do you actually do for work? I'm a shepherd, so, yeah, it's very different. So you're out on the farm being a shepherd. So you're technically working from home.

Like, you're not in the office. So do you have to drive to the office? Yeah, yeah, we drive across the boss's yard and we'll meet here and take our meeting and then go and do our work. Is that your boss just wanting to micromanage you a bit, Jack? I think so, yeah. Maybe have a yarn.

Just wants his two cents in, you know? Just what's going on for the day? Just be across stuff. Appreciate the call, Jack. Let's talk to Anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hello. I'm intrigued.

What is the stupid rule at your work? Well, it's actually a previous workplace. Okay. We weren't allowed to talk about non-work-related stuff with our co-workers during work time. What? Yeah. Not about non-work-related stuff. We had a supervisor they bought in who was pretty horrible.

And, yeah, her little office was just off our workroom. And, yeah, she'd listen to us. Oh, my gosh. anyone would come in and try talk to us about non-work related staff or see us talking to them she'd tell them to not talk to us But you get a little spray bottle and spray you're like cats

That is the weirdest rule Can we ask what type of work or will that incriminate yourself? Yeah Yeah, fair enough That's so ridiculous So how would they police it The supervisor would just listen into your conversations And then she would what, go tell on you guys

or tell you to stop. Pretty much tell us to stop. Or there was one time one of a girl I worked with came in to talk to me and she ended up following her out and saying, I don't talk to them. Wow.

I bet you didn't last at that workplace very long. No. Think about it. What's that? You would go on a Monday what did you do on the weekend or you have a birthday or you're pregnant or whatever it is.

Be a normal human being at work? Yeah. Yeah, I left because I said, this isn't right, this is toxic. Absolutely, and I bet you're better off. Thanks for the call, Anonymous. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Someone texts through and said, we have a compulsory rule that you have to reverse into the car parks at my work. Hey, I don't hate that rule. Don't hate that rule. That just widows out the week. Someone said no sticky notes on the monitor

looks unprofessional. I agree with that. That does look tacky. What a weird rule though. Get that down. Such a weird rule. This one, this one in rages me. It says, anonymous please. If I have a medical appointment, my manager makes me take

an entire day off work using my sick leave rather than just a couple of hours of sick leave or allowing you to make up the time owed later. I don't know if you can legally do that. You reckon. I don't think you legally can force someone to take a whole day. If they've got a doctor's appointment and let's say they go, oh, I need to take three hours off in the afternoon to go to this appointment, you can't be like, well, you need to take the whole day off. Because you're not sick the whole day. Yeah, I don't know if you can. No, and I also feel like I'd do more work

without people breathing down my back. You know? If that person's still listening, I would look into the laws and regulations around that. That's good. A. J.D.N.'s. The tea. Live from L.A. with Dean Dish me the tea on who is the big 2000s pop star that is making

a comeback. I was going to make you smile. Lily Allen. I did it there? I mean, he's good. He's good. Brilliant. She is so good.

Now, I'm just great to tell everyone about this because this is a shock as well. She basically sat down and wrote her last album, a secret album they're calling it a three, in ten days.

What? How does someone go seven years without dropping a single thing and all of a sudden, ten days, smashes out a full album? I'll tell you how. Has a marriage?

break up. Remember, she was, of course, that's how you get it? You make it the good albums. I don't even mean that just sound as dark as it came out. But, you know, she was obviously in her relationship with David Harbour. It ended really badly with lots of vicious rumors around his behaviour, and she's come out with this album. And what's really cool, Bree, because I'm a fan of Lily Allen. You like Lily Allen. I love Lily Allen, yeah. She has actually signed on with record label BMG. Now, this is major. They are Kylie Minogue, they're Rita Orra. They do lots of big...

big artist. So I think the album must be pretty good if BMG are taking her on and rolling it out to get ready. It's the secret album. Oh, that's so exciting, Dean. It's got all the right ingredients, like you said. It's got the breakup. It's with a big record label. And she's had a lot of time off. So I feel like all of her creativity is just going to be put straight into this album. So I am pumped. Me too. I'm excited for her. Like, you know, it's still the lining of the breakup. It's still the lining. Absolutely. glass half full Dean. Hey, that is the tea

live from Hollywood with Dean McCarthy. Thanks, mate. Thank you. Dead Am's Bree and Clench, podcast. Cleanse away, but it doesn't mean we don't have hate in our hearts. And it is time. Hate is in the building. This is a segment that we created

which allows us the space to be able to be negative. Otherwise it gets bottled up and then you lash out at some old lady on the street. Exactly. And you don't want that. You don't want that. This is the time where if there's something that's really just been ticking you off

where you're like, I want to just release it out into the world and then we can move on as our happy positive selves. Amen. Okay? I have bought this to the table because I have something, so I will kick us off. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Okay.

I can't stand rainhead showers. Who bloody invented those? You know who didn't invent him? Woman. Exactly. Someone who doesn't have to wash their hair. A woman. She didn't, she's not invented a rainhead shower.

Rewind, go back, go back. You're saying the ones coming out of the ceiling. Yes. Are you kidding me? Where you have no option to not get wet here. Have you heard of a shower cap? But then how do you wash your place? Are you wearing shower caps?

Yes. Actually, I've been in a new shower. shower catch. I often do you wearing a shower cap. Like when I don't want to get my hair wit. And I really love shower heads. But you know what? But you know what? And this is, that's a great point that you bring up, Brooke.

It's the point of when there's no other option. Yeah. You know? Because always there's the rainhead normally and then you've got the out of the wall the OG original shower head as well. Love them. But I've seen recently, one of my friends just installed a new bathroom. It's fancy. It's

nice. There's no wall option shower head. It's just coming from the ceiling. I feel like that's the point. It's meant to look luxurious and oh my God, such a nice, but what amazing. It's like it's rain. Wow. I feel like I'm in the forest. But my hair is wet every time I use it. I am still not over the fact that you use shower caps. And also, also let me just say, even if I'm whacking on a shower cap, right? Let's say I'm going back to, it's cozy, and I'm putting a shower cap on. Even if I'm doing that and it's a rainhead shower. Yeah. Awful feeling.

No, it's really nice. It feels like it's raining and you're just like all snugly. Oh, that's not for me. They've also got like an 80% success rate. Yeah, there's water getting through those things. 100%. Anyway. That was full on hate breath.

Who's next? Ella, let's have it. Here we go. Mine is, when you're at a red light and you're in traffic, you can see because you're quite behind you're not at the front of the line is what I'm saying. You get the green light so you're like, it's my time to go

and the light phase is like five seconds and so you barely get to the front why? Who sets those timets? I need to talk to them. A.T. Are you listening? I feel you on that. Yeah. I feel you. It is frustrating in peak out of traffic. Yes. I feel like it does happen when you're running late as well statistically more likely to get a short ring.

You're like how is the long? You're like, how is the long, from the other way on for five minutes green and then we get three seconds. Thank you. Thank you for feeling my pain. It is. Mama Mia. Yeah, good.

And Brooke, finish us off. It was hard to pick one, but my haters in the building at the moment is YouTube ads. Two 30-second unskippable YouTube ads is diabolical. Oh, the unskippable ones, yeah. Actually, boys my blood, I've been looking at YouTube premium because I'm over it.

No, don't give in. Don't give in to the big man. Just shut your eyes. Shut your eyes when you're watching the ads and then that way consumerism doesn't win. Also, the ads are so bad. There's like real AI, like ads. You know what I do love though? What?

It's radio ads. I'm talking about the TV. Yeah, we're talking about YouTube. Yeah, YouTube ads. Because it's normally when I'm trying to watch an ASMR video to go to sleep and then it's like, Lily from Big Say! Fasty, click click now, now, now. And I'm like, oh, I'm what I don't know.

I love a radio jingle. That's fun. You can't beat it. That'll wake you up. I wish we could go to some ads now actually, but we can't. We can't. I mean, we all wish that we could. This is where we open it up to the floor.

0,800 dials at M or you can text through on 96-96. Don't hold back. Don't you dare hold back. This is your chance to vent. We want to hear what is really just grinding your gears. There's no problem too small either. There is not. No, it's not insignificant.

That little thing in the back of your tooth? Tell us about it. Our ears and text lines and phone lines are open. The ZDM Podcast Network. Can people say people's names? Like there are haters in the building, my flatmate? Yeah. Or is that, oh yeah, that's welcomed?

I mean, yeah, I mean, if that's your vibe. No, that wasn't me. That was someone, text through 966. Oh, yeah, sure. Just seeing if that was allowed. The winks are winking. We have opened up the phone lines. The text machine is open.

And someone texts through and said, I hate it when radio hosts, and then they put in brackets, Clint, start talking over the end of popular songs. Let the song finish first, please. And I thought, I mean, a few people say this from time to time, but when you go to radio school, I mean, that is a big part where they teach you how to back announce over the song.

So, for example, we just played Post Malone, and I back announced it like this. Post Malone. Rockstar on Z-M with Brie and Clint. Nice. You know, and that's back announcing the song. And then we start talking even though the music's fading. Yeah, we kind of go into the next bit.

Whereas, I mean, let's test it out and just see how the other way would sound. Post Malone Rockstar on ZM with Brian Clint. I mean, it's personal preference. It peaks and pits to both. Peaks and pits. Someone texts through and they said, my haters in the building is people who speed up in the damn passing lane. Don't get people started on traffic, eh?

It's a slippery slope. There's so many traffic ones because Ella's one was traffic. Oh, sorry. Now people are losing it. They're like, not happy. Good. I have to use a public toilet with the awful toilet paper. Yeah.

Not good. Hate to the two-ply. Yes. Cardiwether and narrow door handles getting caught up way too often and autocorrect changing words that aren't wrong. Yeah, you're bloody coating yourself in a cardigan. That gets you. And it hurts. It does. Occasionally. It does.

Someone texts through and said, can I just say my manager is really grinding my gears at the moment? Yes, you can. You can. You can definitely do that. You sure, bloody can. Someone said of your haters in the building, Bree, sometimes if my husband annoys me I stick the rainhead shower on

he hates it and never expects it I mean it's a great burn Someone said I hate unnecessary meetings Yep God I hate a nice I can't remember the last time we had one of those Definitely not this morning It's in the building

It's ZAM's Brie and Clint podcast Once upon a time There was a girl She was smart Debatable, talented, eh, athletic, not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot line that she can do.

countries shower the most per week. Right. So I want you guys, I've got the top 10 here and I want you to throw out a country that you think is in the top 10 for showering the most. All right. I'm thinking Sweden. Sweden. That's lovely. Aren't they

Australia? Australia is in the top ten. Nice. And I think a part of it would be the heat. Oh, I see. Yes. Australia comes in at number three with eight showers a week. Oh, boom, baby.

Eight showers a week. Okay. Think of hot places then, Brooke. What else? God, you've absolutely crushed it. They're number one. Oh! That was teamwork, right?

They are number one, showering 14 times a week. Per person? According to this study. So that's the cult, I guess they're a culture of their shower. It's normal to shower morning and night. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Are you guys morning and night showers? I'm a night gal. It depends on my mood. It can be the night, can be the morning. God, change it up. I'm quite fun. You know what I have been rocking? A dark shower.

I feel Yeah Okay what else Which other countries So we've got Brazil number one, blank, number three. Chili? No.

Not in the top ten. No, Bangkok. Bangkok is so hot. Bangkok, not a country. But do you want to lock in Thailand? Where did you go on your honeymoon? Thailand. Not in the top ten for the most showers per week.

Are the rest of them notorious for being hot countries? I wouldn't say so. Antarctica, let's go wild. Because they're cold and they want to be warm. Who? Who? The polar beers? I mean, I see the point you're trying to make.

The scientists who are studying in there or something. Anything Scandinavian? Not really. America. America is in the top ten. They're at number four, seven times a week. Oh, yeah. Is Altiro in there top ten?

It's not, but I feel like, I feel like seven times Yeah It's probably an average In New Zealand Yeah Skip one or two Six or five

Yeah depends It's fine Yeah yeah Roll in the mud It's all good Where else Mexico India?

Mexico India is not on the list Mexico is number two Oh Brazil Also eight times Okay give us the full list I just want to know now

Okay so the full list It goes Brazil 14 times per week They're showering according to this study. Mexico, eight times. Australia, eight times. USA, seven times. Then we've got France, seven times. South Africa, seven times. There's a lot of, like, I feel like, ties. Spain, seven times. China, six times. Germany, six times. And the United Kingdom comes in number ten with six times. I totally forgot that one. Do you reckon it's because we're showering with each other?

Yeah, we are. So that would lower the medium down. New Zealand, notorious for sharing a shower. I would have to put my hand up and say I'm completely against saving water. No, I have really short showers. I grew up in the country. I'm very aware.

But a joint shower. I love it. You had to like penguins. Yeah. Yeah, but it's not nice. Like I'm in there for business reasons. I'm in there for any 60 times. To clean my bits and pits and shower

properly, you know, I'm not in there to dawdle around, because there's always one person that's cold. That's true. That's why you had to like penguins. Unless you have a shower that facilitates a dual shower. Yeah, that's why you, that's why I have a shower cap because you put that on and then you do huddle like a penguin. Not the bloody shower cap again. And you still, you share this soap. You clean your bits and pits, but it's fun together. I also just think the lower back of yours has never been scrubbed. Mm, got to get that back. I would, I would confirm.

I'm not like scrubbing my lower back often. That's why you've got to get someone else in there. Hey, can you come here and reach my lower back for me? No, I can reach it. I can reach it. Oh, you can. But I wouldn't say your lower back is notorious for smelling bad.

You wouldn't know, you know, it's on down there. That's my face. I used to have a shower. When I first moved to New Zealand, I lived in this very nice apartment. and the shower, I lived in the main bedroom and the onsuit had four shower heads. What the heck? Yeah.

That's like a standing spot. Two rain shower heads, which I'm not a fan of. And then two ones coming off the wall, I must say that I got eight people in there. What are you doing on Saturday night? I told you, there was eight people in my shower. Play ZDM's Bree and Clint. Right now we're talking old dad.

or daddies, whatever you like. 93-year-old man over in Australia had a baby last year with his wife, making him a very old dad. I can say that. Yeah. Yeah. That's an old dad. That is an old dad. 93.

That is an old dad. That is an old dad. So we're asking you, do you have an old dad or do you know an old dad? Let's talk to Anonymous first. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Do you know an old dad? Yeah, actually my dad.

Oh, your dad. You're not just saying that to be mean, being like, my dad's old dad. He's up on the radio. He knows nothing. Suck it, dad. That's why I'm anonymous and trying to do this quick so he doesn't come back. Tell us. Let's do it quickly.

Why do you think he's old? How old are you? How old is he? I am 13 and he is 51. Okay. Let's do the math on that. So he would have been in his 40. when you were born?

Yeah, 42. 42, okay. Anonymous, I think he's older. I don't know if he's super old. He's not like granddad. I mean, he's the Crip Keeper now being in his 50s and you're 13.

It'd be like talking to an alien. But we understand. Thanks for calling you through Anonymous. All good. Someone else texts through and said, my dad's 75 and I'm 33. So I feel like that's about the same. It sounds bad on paper.

40s to me, not old. That's not an old dad. That's pretty bloody normal. I feel like he's focused on his career a lot. You know? Yeah, maybe. He's like, I want children. Yeah, totally.

Someone else said, my uncle is 69 with a five-year-old. And he has his first child, he had his first child at 17. So he had his first kid when he was 17. And now he's 69, nice. And he's got a five-year-old. That's pretty, that's late. Yes. Yeah.

For another baby. Someone else said, great-grandfather had a baby at 76 with his younger second wife so my dad's uncle was 40 years younger than him yeah that's buzzy as it is i wonder how you relate to a parent maybe it doesn't matter but if they are a lot older than you when you're a kid like does it is there a difference is there an impact i feel like it's all it's all the same it's all the same like they'd have definitely different punishment techniques smack if you had a father that you're up around. Whoa, World War. Slander.

What? Slander. That's a good point, bro. Someone said, my grano had a child with his wife at 90. And his child is one right now. So he's 90 and the kids won. Is this all in like your swimmers go on a bank? Or is this just coming straight from the... I want to know if that's actually biologically his.

From the pipe. Because that's quite the medical marvel. Someone else said, I had an old dad. I was born. when my dad was 51. Wow. I would say that's, yeah, getting up there. And my mum was 31 when I was born.

This story's wild. It says my uncle became a dad again at 70 to twins. He already had two sets of kids to two other wives. Wow. Three kids in his 20s that I grew up with. Then another two kids 20 years later to another wife. and then this is his last whoopsie to his twins. Oh no, I think they're meant to say this is his last wife.

And then this is his last wife, twins. They are now age seven and he's the best dad to them, third time lucky maybe. That's the bottom line. Throwing shade. How many kids is that? Wow. That is. Enough for a rugby team, seven aside.

Literally. Seven kids. So far. So far. He's still going. Someone else said my friend was much younger than her. her siblings this text is so i always wanted that growing up though i always wish that i had such a huge age gap sibling like a did you want to be the old or younger yeah my brother's you know

can you buy me out come yeah yeah yeah absolutely they said my friend was much younger than her siblings her dad was so old that when he came to pick her up from my house one night he didn't see the pavers leading to the front door he went around the back of the house and my mom saw him in the backyard and yelled out someone's granddad's here Is he okay? That's sad. Could it be a tactical move though Because at that age you can share nappies

You know if you've got a young kid, grandpa What? You'll both be teething at the same time You'll be eating soup and soft foods Teeth Look, it is time for birthday banger The 800 dials at M If you want to know the number one song when you turn 16

You could have powder finger. Yeah. You sure could? You could have that song. What's a powder finger song these days? Something about being happy? Happiness. Hey, I quite like powder finger.

Big fan of powder finger myself. Bernard Fanning. Interviewed him one time. He was a bit of a dick. Oh, no. Yeah, it was quite devastating for me. Not Benarn Fanning. No.

He wouldn't expend it from Bernard. Birthday bang, and we do love it. ZDN's Brinclent. We're about to talk about the chase. Who doesn't love the chase? I mean, every nan and her dog. If I'm a nan, then... I love it.

The Chase Australia, big news for them. They had their biggest ever final chase amount won. Oh. Don't you love a successful episode? I do love it. Because that show can end in disappointment. A lot of the time. My sister can't watch it.

She gets so upset. She's like, that sucks. I've spent half an hour watching it and then no wins. Yeah, it does happen often, but not for this episode because the final amount, the record prize amount that was won, was $141,000 Australian dollars. Which I've done the math, 161,000 New Zealand. That's unbelievable. Divide it, how many people?

I think it was $4,000. Still, really good. I believe it was four. The chaser that lost out was the governess. See, I feel for the chasers sometimes, because that's their one job to protect that money, and then they have to waddle back down that hallway. Because they're getting paid, regardless, right?

And to be honest, I mean, it's one against four. Yeah, yeah. So you feel pretty good. I thought this afternoon, girls, both Gen Z is in the room. Oh, no. I would test you guys with the question. that were used in the final chase. So it'll be me versus you two in the final chase.

Are you ready to play? Let's go. Oh, yeah, the music. Here we go. Here we go. Question number one. Who won the 2025 Japanese F1 Grand Prix? Pass. Pass.

Japan? Max Vastappen. Question number two. to Japan. Carl Lagerfeld led the... Pass. Led the revival of which French fashion house. Gucci.

Great guess. It was Chanel. Question number three. Despina and Larissa are the moons of which planet? Come on, Brooke. This is you. I'm going to say Neptune. That's right.

Get it in! Question four. The jackal belongs to what class of animals? Jackal. Deer? Bird? It's a mammal. Question number five, Illustrator is a graphic software made...

That's right! Question number six, which friend's actress stars in the film The Parenting? Corny Cox. Rachel. Worth a shot, it's Lisa Cudrow. Question number seven. The word incommunicado is borrowed from which modern language? Latin?

What's modern? Modern's not Latin? The chase. The chaser actually answered Latin. and I'll give you one more guess. Spain, Spanish! It is Spanish! Yes!

Oh my God! My God! How much money is that? I'm rich! I'm so rich! You got three out of seven, which means you would have lost, but hey, not bad.

I'm sweating profusely. Do we go on the chase? Do we give it a whirl? A dopey. What did you get? I got Neptune. Hell yeah, baby. I like how at the start of this,

Brooke, was like, Nans. And look how invested she is now. The Chase Australia, You've got to love it. The girlie's in the studio giving me a hand. Speaking of hands, a very, very concerning study that was conducted by the Food Safety Information Council. Sounds very official. Yeah, I'll listen.

Has found that a large percentage of people have admitted to not always washing their hands after using the toilet. You're one of them, aren't you? What? How dare you? Is that what you're talking about it? How dare you spread these malicious lies? How do you spread your germs? I actually dated someone once that wouldn't wash their hands after doing wheeze.

And it made me feel icky. Gave me the ick a little bit. Fair enough. But wasn't a deal breaker. Wasn't a full deal breaker, but we definitely had discussions slash arguments about it. Yeah. Where I was like, do you not wash your hands? What was it reasoning?

I can't remember Save water mate It wasn't obviously a good enough reason But let's get into the details So it found that 28% of men And 18% of women Who took this survey Said they don't always wash their hands

After going wheeze But then this is the one that's really concerning 13% of men and 11% of women Don't always wash their hands I don't say it. A poo! No! You think about all the hands, you do handshake or, you know, and you touch your face and your mouth and your food.

Unless you are using a bidet and not going back there with your hands, then even then I'm like, just wash your hands. I do. I will admit I do wash my hands a little bit longer if someone's next to me in the bathroom. You show washer, you show washer. Me too. Yeah. I think we all do that.

But I wash my hands. Do you, Brookeie? Sometimes I get up the forearm after a number two, you know, like, you don't know. What are you doing in that? You just don't know. No. You don't know. Because then you touch the handle again in the soapbox and you're like, well, I wonder

who didn't wash the hand. Oh, now I've got to go in here. This is even more concerning to me because it says here 43% of men and 49% of women also admitted that they didn't wash their hands before handling food. Do you think that's just because women are cleaner in general that they're like? I mean, the stats are pretty similar. Yeah. But still, it's just concerning that nearly 50% of people think, oh, if I'm cutting up some raw chicken that I'm going to touch, I probably should wash my hands.

Honestly, I'm thinking of getting into Parliament and putting this as a law. I think it's necessary. How are you going to police it? What's the fine for not washing your hand out of the wheeze? 200 bucks, I reckon. When they walk out, there's like a sensor and they'll sense if there's like moisture on your hands because, you know, you got wet hands. The future. Is that good? I see the future of the government. Saving the world.

I thought we could run through a few of the things that the council have stated where you should be washing your hands. And you guys have to answer truthfully, as will I. Hand over heart. Whether you do wash your hands when you're doing these things, okay? Before handling, preparing and eating food. Yes. Rinse with water. Yeah, I'm washing my hands.

Maybe not always, like if I'm getting like takeaways in the car. Like a little sneaky takeaway? Actually, it always reminds me Every time I'm in the car and I'm handling food I'm like, I would love some dittle, you know? But I never do. Yeah. Next, after touching raw meat, including eggs.

Yeah, for sure. No, I never do that. Well, Ella's vegan. Yes, I have to wash my hands. After using the toilet, attending to children's or other toileting and changing nappies. Well, that doesn't really apply to us.

I live with a baby. Yeah. And no, I don't do that. You're just washing her. If I'm going to the toilet, in the bathroom, anywhere in and around a toilet, I'm washing my hands. Yeah. After blowing your nose.

No. Oh, no. Is this one we should? Yes. Oh. I can't say that I always do, but I always feel the sense that I should. Yeah.

Just like snot on your hands. Yeah. But there's kind of a barrier between you and the snod at least. It's the tissue. I love how COVID seems like such a distant memory to us now. Yeah. We're like. Hacking away.

People's hands were red raw from washing their hands. After patting animals or cleaning up after animals, examples, pee-poo vomit or cleaning litter trays. Ella, you've got a heap of cats at your house. Can't say I do. Ella. But now that you pointed out, I might. What do you mean you might?

I'll think about it. It's too fine in the bathroom. I think we end it there. I think we've incriminated. at Ella, way too much. The ZDM Podcast Network. Well, no Clint today, but the girls have done an amazing job. Brooke, Ella, thank you.

Brookie on the buttons. And you're doing a double shift. Yeah. Stick around, folks, because it's only getting better from here with ZDM's later. What's your best hook for people to stick around? My left hook. Mine's my right. Yeah, actually, same.

Yeah, you're right-handed. I am right-handed. Aren't you left-handed? No, I'm right-handed. I'm left-handed. Couldn't you tell? Shut up. They're all lefties, a bit of...

You can't be the same, eh? You're unique. Thank you. Can't you tell her she's got a septim pearsing? She does. I'm cool. No, what's on the show? Any new songs you're playing on the show tonight?

We do. We've got this versus that, so it's one new song, one throwback song from the art. Labyrinth? Labyrinth. Love Labyrinth. Dabble in a bit of labyrinth, especially with his stuff for Euphoria, the TV show. Oh, how good. He would suit doing music for that show.

so much. Yeah, they should definitely get him on. What's his older song you're putting up against the newest song? Can I play it for you? Yes, I'd love to hear the two songs. It's jealous. I'm jealous of the Banga. If you feel like a wang-weer crying. Yeah. Could be happening next.

Okay. Well, stick around if you want to cry. Brooke is up next with the Late Late Late Show. She loves to make you cry. On ZM. We'll see you tomorrow for a Friday. Bye. Play ZM's Brianclint. On Instagram's, Facebook, TikTok. And live weekdays from three on Zed. Thank you.
