ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. It's our radio show, but wrapped up in a neat little package just for you. It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. ZM's Brie and Clint, thanks to KFC's new Nashville Zinger FLG rep. You want to go? What happens at 3pm? Stays at 3pm. Brie and Clint.

They're all in the kitchen. ZM's Brie and Clint. Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Brie and Clint show. Without Brie today, she's off. So it's just us kicking it. It's a real country of two halves at the moment up here in Auckland and otherwise, Northland, up in North Island,

we're experiencing probably the worst weather we've had since winter. Like it's really bad, but I mean, I don't think anything that bad has happened yet. Anyway, it's grim. But then I heard that the South Island this morning, beautiful. Parts of Queenstown, Otago, absolutely stunning. So we are experiencing different things at the moment.

Up here they're talking about closing the Harbour Bridge. So you know, that's what we're dealing with. But it's a Thursday that feels like a Friday, so we're going to have a good show. Are we putting people in the drawer for the Lady Gaga trip today, Claudia? Is that happening? You know what, don't ask me.

Why aren't we just talking about it? Better both, I think. Yeah, right. If you haven't heard, we will have a trip to Sydney to see Lady Gaga perform live on the Mayhem Tour. And we might put some people in the drawer. We don't know. Oh, Ella knows. We'll tell you how to get into the drawer. Your notes are right there. Okay. Well, I'll look at those when it's time to tell people how to get into the drawer. Oh, perfect. I've got a proposition for the show. Interesting.

You have my attention. Yeah, I feel like we need attention is what we need. Oh, I feel that we need to do something, you know, to break the monotony, to celebrate Easter weekend. Are we going to cause a scene? Maybe, but only if it's what the people want. And it's, are we doing Friday jams today on a Thursday? We're not are we?

No, we haven't. So there's really a, it's a part missing from ZM of the day before a long weekend. What is essentially Friday today? My proposition is if we get 500 texts we play Creed. Oh. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. But only if we get 500 texts to 9696 saying I want Creed. Alright.

I've got my phone out, I'm texting him. Oh you want Creed do you? Yes, I've got my phone out, I'm texting him. Oh you want Creed, do you? Yes, I would love some Creed. Yeah, I thought I'd read the mood of the people. Is that Sofrock Thursday you mean? It's Sofrock Thursday, it's Easter, so I mean Creed fits the bill, doesn't it?

Yeah. But I don't know if that's what the people want, that's why it will only happen if we get 500 texts to 9696 saying the people want Creed. I've sent three. Did you send? No. Okay.

We'll see how it goes. Okay. We'll see what the people want. First though, we'll do tradies vs ladies. If you would like to play and stand up for your team, the tradies or the ladies, you can call us now on 0800 DIAL ZM. And yeah, we'll go head to head next. 26 tradies, 34 who's gonna come out

on top today? Jeez there is a strong need from the people for Creed put it out there 500 texts to 9696 saying we want Creed and we will be forced we'll be forced to play Creed the day before Easter we're not at 500 but we're not we are not far off so if that is what the people want we will absolutely give the people what they want if they text us on 9696 to say yeah we want Creed so keep them coming in.

If you are currently nude and in the process of getting dressed, if you're about to get dressed, stop what you're doing because Claudia has important information that she's got for us from the internet. That's such a funny way to introduce it.

Yeah. If you are nude, text us on 9696 and let us know. Yeah. I love a conversation where it's something everyone can relate to. Yeah. But everyone does things slightly different. I saw this thing on TikTok, it was a couple of guys, the question was, after a shower, what order do you put things on, like all of your clothes?

And the answer that they gave was just cooked. Really? Yeah. I think they're rage baiting. Right. I think it's real. Well, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's take a listen.

What order do you get dressed out of the shower? Socks, shirt. No, wait, stop it. Stop, stop. Socks first? Socks. Socks first. No way.

So I thought I'd put it to you guys. Socks then shirt. Right. So you're like Donald Duck. Donald Duck is around the house. Literally Donald Duck. He's got those little leather covers on his webbed feet and he's got a top on, he's got a shirt on.

It's the moment before the shirt that concerns me more when it's only socks. Sure you've still got the towel on though. I'd hope so. But what if you don't? You've done towel time and now you're just in socks. Yeah, you've still got to go in and out of the wet area too much to put the socks on. Oh I've assumed they're already in their room. That's a whole other combo. Yeah, do you get changed I've assumed they're already in their room. That's a whole nother combo. Yeah, do you get changed in the shower, bathroom, or in your room?

Yeah, right. Yeah, well, oh yeah. Our bathroom's connected to our bedroom, so we can kind of go back and forth. But yeah, I appreciate what you mean. If you're in a flooding situation, once you're done in the bathroom, get out of the bathroom

and let someone else ever turn in the bathroom. Exactly. That's not how it works for me. No, neither. What do you do? Undies first, and then deodorant. Because I need to give deodorant maximum amount of time to dry because I'm a roll on guy. And then I will pick the pants

and I'll choose the shirt to match the pants. So I go undies, pants. Because then I can, if I want to take a break, I can walk around the house topless for a bit and just undies and pants. You haven't picked your outfit before the shower? No. Oh. Have you? Yeah always. Well I laid it out. No I take it to the toilet put it on the toilet. Oh okay so you get dressed in the bathroom. Well yeah but you you even haven't picked your outfit. No I swung around.

Donald Duck around. Very leisurely. No not not Donald Ducking the opposite of Donald Ducking. Okay, sorry cuz I put my duck away first Claudia what's your order? See I do a lot of towel time so I get out of the shower and I do my skincare But in a towel and then I spend a long time in a towel Yeah, and then I would do you sit on the edge of the bed and like de-associate Yeah sit on the floor and I like my mirror I just sit in my mirror and do my makeup. How do you get the towel to stay up though?

Cause my towel just opens up. You sit facing the mirror in just a towel. Yeah, it's a long towel. But it's my special skill is putting a towel on and making it really secure. You're not crossing your legs are you? Yeah, that's what I was worried about. No, it's a long towel, there's nothing out. And only I get to see.

I know, but do you want to see no I don't want to say so after towel time I remedy that situation undies sorry I'm too distracted yeah I can't listen to yours anymore Ella what are you getting dressed yeah no it's pretty boring I think undies if I'm in the mood it will go pants first! And then bra, shirt, and then I get bored. No, no, no, we figured it out. Pants, then undies. No! T-shirt, bra.

Then top, then bra. And then I get bored. Then shoes, then socks. And then a nice little hat. And then I get dressed halfway in the lounge so I can talk to people. Because I get bored. But when do you put your socks on? Uh, first.

Forgot about that part. When do you sit in front of the mirror nude for a bit? Oh, I take all my clothes off and then I do that. Yeah, yeah, first. Forgot about that part. When do you sit in front of the mirror nude for a bit? Oh, I take all my clothes off and then I do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get pre-dressed and then take them off. Pre-shower. That's before the shower. Yeah, that's right. That is Franklin.

Claudia has come to us today with a theory that some birthdays make sense and some birthdays don't make sense. Is that fair? Yeah. There's a guy on TikTok he's got the fanciest name I've ever heard his name is Benedict Townsend. I'd believe a man with the name Benedict Townsend. I feel like he's got the authority on this. Yeah but he's basically just run through. I wouldn't believe Ben Townsend. Nah. But Benedict Townsend. Benedict Townsend. I like it. He's run through a couple of different birthdays and some of them I think he's right

some birthdays just don't make sense Okay, not here are some more birthdays that do and don't make sense May the 13th Fine don't love the mouth feel but fine 9th of July bad. Oh, yeah curse day 31st of March. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah live with that 12th of October I can live with that. 12th of October bad. No! No, I like 12th of October. I like 12th of October. 12th of October's got good mouthfeel. It fills the mouth.

What about yours, Clint? It's not all about mouthfeel though. Surely it's partly about vibe as well. For me it's also like the number and the month have to have the same vibe. Like they have to go together. Yeah, they've got to gel together. Yeah, yeah. I believe mine has very good vibes. Go. The 1st of February.

Yeah, no, I like that. 1st of February. I'd like it more if it was the 2nd of February. Yeah, no, I like that first of February. I'd like it more if it was the second of February. Me too, to be honest. Two of two. But I'm one too. That's nice. The first of the second, one too. Summer birthday.

All good. Always got to have a pool party for my birthday when I was a kid. Oh, lucky. It's a good birthday. Okay, that's fair. What's yours? 30th of October.

I like it. I like it because it's 3010. It's clunky to me. No, I like it a lot. It is a little, but with my- 30th of October. I like it. I like it because it's 3010. It's clunky to me. No I like it a lot. 30th of October. Factor in the year 2000 and then it's a lot of zeros. Oh okay that flattens it out a bit. Yeah. I think. 3010 2000. I think you got a neutral. Okay. I think you got a neutral birthday. Claude? It's nothing personal nobody take this personally please. Yeah it's nothing to do with you. you. It just happened to be born on a bad day. Now this is where it gets interesting everybody Claudia thinks she has a birthday that doesn't make sense but we both believe that you have the perfect birthday. Mine's yuck. No. Mine's the 15th of June and I like where it is

It is the middle day of the middle month I like that a lot, but I just feel like the number 15 with June. I don't roll with that. I like it I'm proud of my birthday. It just doesn't feel good. The 15th of June. 15th of July would be best. I like the 20th of June. That's nice. Yeah. 15th. Maybe it's the 10th. 10th. I think you're nitpicking. I think it's a good birthday. My wife has a great birthday. Okay, go. It's the 11th of November. Oh, the 11th of the 11th. Oh, the 11th? She has the perfect birthday. And as someone she's into numerology right? She's crushed it. She's dangerously into numerology.

Completely unqualified we're now going to go through some people and decide whether your birthday makes sense or not. Mackenzie welcome to the show. Hello. You understand this is not personal right? Yes. If you tell us your birthday and we go, Ugh, yuck! You can't take it personally, it's not about you. No, no, I won't. Mackenzie, please reveal to us what your birthday is. The 2nd of November.

It's perfect. I like it. The 2nd of November. Yeah, I really like it. Yeah, it is hot. That's hot! That's a hot girl birthday. Can I take that personally? Yeah you can.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah that's how this works you get to take all positive feedback personally but you have to reject all negative feedback. Thank you Mackenzie you've kicked us off well. Luca is here. Hi Luca. Hi. How old are you first? Um I'm 11. Okay now you especially can't take this personally okay okay? Okay, are we allowed to tell them? What does she want to say? Thank you, Luca and sister. That was the cutest one we've had. Okay, Luca, we got to get down to business. What's your birthday? Yeah, um the 10th of April 2014. 10th of April.

I'm not really factoring in years I'm just going with the vibe of 10th of April. I like 10th of April. 10th of April. I like it too. The vibe of the 10th, the vibe of the April. It's bouncy. They match. 10th of April.

I like it. Luca you got a good one okay? Yeah. Yay and it's coming up. I don't know how it's been. Wait, what month are we in? It was a week ago. Yeah, it was last week.

Happy birthday, Luca! Happy birthday, Luca! Oh my gosh. Where are we? I thought we were still in class. What year is it? Maddie is here. Hi, Maddie.

Hello. Hello. What's your birthday, Maddie? 17th of May. Ew. I like May. Eww. I like May. My gut reaction is eww. But I don't like the 17.

I don't vibe with May. It feels like mine where I don't vibe with the number but I do vibe with the month. My mum is May. I like May. May feels really feminine and classy. Yeah it does feel feminine. I wouldn't respect a man who had a May birthday. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But what did you say, 17th? 17th. 17th, yeah. It's just hanging out there in the middle of nowhere, 17th. It's like not halfway, it's not at the start of May, it's not even close to the end of May. Nah, sorry. Nothing personal though.

Nothing personal, Maddie. I don't like you, you seem wrong. If you could choose a birthday, Maddie, what would you choose? Um, a summer, summer birthday. Something summer, like 1st of February, right? For example. For example, yeah.

Something summer, yeah. Something perfect like that. Okay, thank you Maddie, we appreciate you and you accepting our criticism. Ella is here, hi Ella. Hi. How old are you? Um, I'm 17. Oh, you're good to go.

We can roast you. Yeah, we can roast you. You can handle it, eh Ella? Yes, we can. You won't necessarily get roasted. You might have a perfect birthday. So Ella, please, when you're ready, can you tell us what is your birthday? April 20th. Ooh, April 20th. I like it. How she said it as well. April 20th. Oh, April 20th. I like it. April 20th. April 20th feels important. You didn't say 20th of April. No. You said April 20th and I like that. April 20th. It feels like a landmark date. April 20th. It feels like something important happened on the April 20th. Like Ella was born. Like a signing of the declaration of...

Yeah, some sort of historical thing going on. It's got mana. Ella you get, yes, that's what it is. Ella your birthday's got mana. Yes. Thank you. Thanks Ella. James is here, hi James. Good afternoon Mr Roberts, I'm also a February child. Oh welcome brother, it's good to have you here. Thank god you don't have a May birthday, birthday already said I don't respect men with a May birthday Before we do yours, do you feel like we've been largely getting it, right? Yeah, I do yeah, I agree mostly right My one actually feels like a bit of a mouthful. Okay. Okay. Um, there's like a long one James 18th of February February February 18th of February. Yes, sorry, it's February 18th of February. 18th of February. February 18th. The 18th of February.

I think it works for me because for some reason I'm associating with shapes. 18 feels like a square, February feels like a square, they go together. Oh God. Wow your brain's amazing. You know who we need? We need someone with synesthesia in this conversation as well. I think I've just developed it. It gives me the colour red. Your date. Yeah no that's true. Okay know who we need? We need someone with synesthesia in this conversation as well. I think I've just developed it. It gives me the colour red. Your date. Yeah, no that's true. Okay. Yeah, it's a red square.

It's a red square. Are we down with a red square? I'm not. I'm neutral on a red square. But I like James. You like James. I like James too, but that's why this is really hard. Yeah, you have the final say Mr Roberts. I don't rate it. I don't think it's good James. I'm sorry. We were fast. Yeah, you have the final say Mr. Roberts. I don't rate it. I don't think it's good James.

I'm sorry. We were fast. And I wasn't vibing the red square. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, yeah. We're not taking it personally, eh, James? We're not. Nah. Nah, good one. Hopefully your birthday bang is better. Have we ever tried that yet?

Oh, we're going to do that with you. You'll see at 5.30. Yeah, yeah. Call us back. You'll see at 5.30. Yeah, yeah, call us back. ZN's Brang Clint. I had one of those moments today where you go, oh my god, I'm still learning. There are things yet for me to learn. Simple things too, like simple spelling of words.

Claudia, you've already heard this because I got you to load the audio in for me. But when you heard it, was it news to you or did you know genuinely? Funny enough, I actually knew. You knew. But it wasn't something I've thought about. Like, I was just like, yep, that makes sense. But then I was like, I've never really looked at it and been like, oh. I don't know this.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever spelt this using all letters. I think I've used a combination of numbers and letters. I don't think I've ever written it down to be fair. What word? Ella, did you know this? Okay, I need an honest reaction. I don't think I've ever written it down to be fair. What word? Ella, did you know this? Okay, I need an honest reaction. I just drove past 12th Avenue and that's the first time I've ever seen the word 12th written. I thought 12th was T-W-E-L-T-H. 12th. There's an F in it. 12th. No there's not. Where the F?

12th. No there's not. Where the F did the F come from? There is. 12th is spelt T-W-E-L-F-T-H. No, let me Google this. Ff. 12th. I'm asking how to, hang on. You can believe, don't worry, we've researched it. I don't believe it. You can believe it. There's no f.

How to spell tw. It's got the word elf in the middle. Because how I think I've been spelling it my whole life, if I've ever needed to write 12th, which I don't think I ever would, would be one, two, T, H. Yeah. I feel like if they left that letter blank,

I would have been like, I would have wanted to put a V before I put an F. 12th. 12th. 12th. 12th. It makes me like it. I do like the F in it. It's kooky. It's fun.

It made me realise I have seen it before at school when we were studying Shakespeare's 12th Night. Oh, of course. But I thought that the F in there was a kooky Shakespeareism. That he had taken some creative license. Like hints. Yeah, and he had put an F in there to make it Shakespearean and kooky. But actually, no, that's how you spell it. It makes me realise that all words are just made up. Like that one looks fake. Well, interestingly, Shakespeare made up a lot of words that we use today. A lot of the words that he used were originals. So did he make up the spelling of Twelfth? So let's put every letter possible 12th. Where did the F come from?

It's unnecessary, but it's cute. It looks like Phoebe Buffay from Friends. Oh, it does. Yeah. It does have that vibe about it doesn't it? Anyway, news to me but cars, e-scooters or food delivery. The screenshots that people are sharing is of a new Uber feature which is called Uber Walking Buddy. Yeah, Uber Walking Buddy. So the concept is if you have somewhere that you need to walk alone, like say you need to walk to the supermarket or you need to walk from work to the train station or whatever, I guess it doesn't matter where you need to walk to, you can book a person who will show up and walk with you. No car, they'll just show up. The screenshots show that it's cheaper, obviously, than getting a car.

But would you get an Uber walking buddy, Claudia? Is that something you think you could use? I mean, if I worked very different hours, like if I was on the breakfast show and walking from my car to the office and I didn't feel safe maybe I could like have someone because they'd be a trusted person you know exactly who they are. I get it from the safety perspective but then you'd want the walking buddies to be vetted super hard. True. Like I'm not paying to walk with someone who's gonna be a creep. Or if I'm lonely on the weekend. Loneliness is a real thing but even then, like you know how in

Ubers a lot of people won't talk to their Uber driver. No I don't actually, that's a very good point. Yeah they don't talk to their Uber driver and they go well I'm paying for this ride so I don't need to engage in conversation. He's not my friend, he's my driver. That's not necessarily how I feel but I think that's the logic behind it. Does the same logic apply for Uber walking buddy? Did you walk in silence? Someone shows up and they go Uber for Claudia and you go yep, and then you just start walking and you don't talk. Do you hold hands so you don't lose each other?

Can you hold hands? If you want. Can you request hand holding? Cute. Can you request arm linking? Could they bring a little speaker so you can listen to music on the way? Could you share an air pod? Cute.

It's like Uber date. Yeah but the other thing is how do you know which one is your uber because with the car you see the number plate and you go oh FLJ that's me. Little t-shirt with a barcode or something on it. Or like a big backpack with a flag that sticks right up so you know exactly who you're waiting for? Uber have said that it's not real, that the screenshots are fake, but there's quite a lot of them. There's quite a lot of different screenshots and prices and things like that from different cities around America. And I don't know. I mean... I wonder if... I mean it's not happening, but if it happened, would they get paid the same amount? Because it would take so much longer than driving.

I tell you what, if you wanted to be an Uber Walker, it'd be great for you. You make money and you get fit. You could bring your dog along too. You could bring your dog. You could. Oh, you couldn't scooter, could you? You could have one of those collapsible scooters. So you could scooter two jobs.

Oh, that's a great idea. Like your Hansel from Zoolander. Invest in some rollerblades or something. Yeah but then you take them off because if I pay for an Uber walking buddy you walk. Invest in two pairs of rollerblades. I don't want to keep up with a guy that's rollerblading as well. Invest in two pairs of rollerblades. The ZM Podcast Network. I came across How To Dad's post. He was talking about hot cross buns. Have a listen to this. Hot cross buns are yuck. They leave a really strange aftertaste in your mouth

and I'm really weirded out as to how you and so much of the world don't taste what I taste. I'm thinking it might be a coriander thing. There's no coriander in a hot cross bun, but you know how people either love or hate coriander. I'm on the hate side. Here to defend his radical stance, which I'm calling an Easter hate crime, is Jordan Watson, aka How To Dad. Hello Jordan.

There's nothing to defend. It's fact. It's taste bud fact. If you don't taste it, there's something wrong with you. Okay? Something wrong with you. I got nothing to defend. It can't. It's like plastic. They pour plastic into the ingredient mix, they're mixing it up and it gives you a plasticky aftertaste. So there's people out there right now nodding and going like, amen.

Thank the Lord there's someone that finally agrees with my taste buds. It can't be fact when so many people are gobbling up hot cross buns by the six pack at this time of year. It's the most wonderful time of the year hot cross bun season. It wasn't in that clip but can you explain the plasticky thing to me? What I get with hot cross buns is a strange, like yeah you can bite into it and you're like okay this is alright something and then once you swallow there's a very strange plasticky petrol like aftertaste that sits in the mouth and you're like yeah I don't think I need to get into the hot cross bun spirit of things I'm just gonna stick to

the chocolate. Are you sure you didn't just get hurt by a bad hot cross bun once? Like have you revisited them? Since I was a child and I hear people say try the chocolate. I've tried all, because look, the kids like them, my wife likes them, they buy them. And now and then they'll bring home one of the new funky ones where they're trying to zhuzh it up a bit. And it still leaves this foul taste in my mouth. I'll stick to cream eggs and the giant hollow eggs.

Have you done the bougie ones? We got a text last week to say that in Queenstown at the moment, Nadia Lim is selling a $34 six-pack of Hot Cross buns. That's ridiculous no I'm a tight you know me I'm a tight ass I would never ever ever do that but I posted the video and I'm gonna die a happy man there's so many people out there that agree with me and someone said yeah it's like a petroleum weird plasticky aftertaste. Someone's just text in a very important point Jordan and they said does he know that you need to take them out of the packaging first?

No you don't because the plastic in the microwave is what keeps the condensation as you heat them up in the microwave. There's one or two texts coming in to say that they're yuck, but I still think that you're in the minority here. It could be a coriander thing, but I've never heard about that before. Are there any other baked goods that cause you this much issue? No, no, just a big old cross on top of a bun once a year gets my taste buds in a tizzy. Yeah right, okay. Well we are going gonna go looking for a community this afternoon. If you have the same problem with all cross buns as Jordan HowtoDad has,

then definitely call us on 0800 dials. Or if there's another food that everybody else loves, but you just can't stand, you're like, how do people like this food? Can you tell us what that is as well? On 0800 dials. Or text it into 9 6 9 6 and we can read it out. Everybody loves, I don't know, Christmas ham, but you can't

get on board with it. So you just, what, what, oh chocolate. You're fine with chocolate for Easter Jordan. That's what you'll be consuming. I'm sorry. Did you make me just sit here and listen to all that big stuff you did? I thought, I thought I'd go on. I thought you'd hung up. Oh no, you're still here. What was your question? to all that big stuff you did. I thought I'd go on. I thought you'd hung up. Oh no, you're still here. What was your question? I don't know. I've got no co-host today, man. It's just nice to have someone to talk to, you know.

I was waiting for someone to chime in. It was good chat, guys. Happy Easter. That's How To Dad. Get in touch with your food crimes. It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. We just talked to How to dad Jordan Watson from Instagram. Said he can't stand the taste of hot cross buns. Said they taste like plastic in his mouth which I don't understand but I guess everybody is different. I wonder if your taste like the things that you don't like I wonder if it relates to like past trauma if he's had a bad experience with a hot cross bun or whatever the thing is that you don't like. Is that what it is?

So we've asked, is it hot cross buns or something else that everybody likes that you can't vibe with? Tina's called up. Hi, Tina. Hi, how are you? I'm good. What's the thing that you can't stand but everybody else seems to like? I hate baked beans. My wife hates baked beans. Yeah. What is it about baked beans? Is it the texture?

It's the texture you make from that horrible, disgusting tomato sauce they put them in. They're just horrible. Have you tried having the fancy ones? Like have you been to a cafe and they do like the homemade baked beans with like the bits of bacon and stuff inside it? Yeah, I've been to,

I've tried pretty much every baked bean in a can. I've been to places and had brunch and they're just disgusting. Can you do a tin spaghetti? No, that's as bad. Yeah right. Well I mean you know, it's not going to impede your life too much is it? Like hot cross buns, it's hard to go to the supermarket at Easter time without being confronted. You can get away in your day-to-day life avoiding baked beans can't you Tina?

Absolutely and that's exactly what I do. Yeah good on you. Okay. Thank you for calling. We appreciate it. This text is so good they said I think the hot cross buns are the worst thing to ever happen to Easter and yes I'm including the whole crucifixion thing Yeah, thank you for your text Sheefa is here. Hi Sheefa. Hi. Hi, what is the food for you that everybody loves but you're like, no thanks? Banana or just like any mushy fruit? Oh my god, my wife hates bananas too. I don't mean to keep bringing everything back to my banana but to my wife. To my wife, not my banana. Can you do banana flavored things like

banana milk? No, anything banana just turns my stomach. What about banana lollies that actually don't taste like banana at all? They're just shaped like a banana? No, I don't like those either. Wow, okay and it doesn't relate to anything? You didn't have a bad experience with a banana growing up? No, I've just never liked them. No, okay well fair enough. Or any mushy fruit. Banana cake? Banana cake? Banana loaf? No, no.

Wow, okay sweet as. Thank you. Someone said I'm from a family of ethnics. We are Eastern Europeans and it's apparently against the law that I don't like lamb on the spit. It always causes drama at Easter. Yeah right, well they're probably taking it personally, they think you're denying your heritage or something like that. I do wonder if you could eat a roast lamb, like if they were to not buy the entire unbutchered lamb, if they were to go and get a leg of lamb one year to take you into account and do that in the oven, if that would okay for you but then I guess that would ruin the whole experience for them wouldn't it so you wouldn't.

Mariah is here, hi Mariah. Hello. What is the food that everyone loves that you're like bro that's yuck? Onions mate they're foul. What is it? Onions. Oh onions, onions are in everything. I won't touch it. What if you go to Bunnings and they're doing a sausage sizzle and there's onions on the grill? You don't get them, but the sausages have been cooked on the grill with onions. That's fine, but if my food has onion in it, I won't eat it. Really? What if you didn't know there was onion in it? Would you know? I can taste it. Can you? I can smell it. What about onion powder? Cause that's in a lot of things.

No. Really? No, I order my mac is without onions. Yeah, right. Oh, you're missing out. Onions are great. Nah, okay. All right, thanks Mariah.

There's so many of these. Someone said, Fijo is a rank. There's a reason that they're free. Someone else said, everyone loves cheese and I can't stand it. Oh what a sad life if you can't eat cheese. Cheese is like nectar of the gods but if you can't eat it you can't eat it. Someone said shaved ham to me smells like chlorine. That's devastating. Eating a bit of shaved ham straight out of the packet was one of my favorite pastimes as a kid. Someone said raisins are a hate crime. A few tomato sauce

haters. Someone said bring it back to your banana Clint. No that was a slip of the tongue okay I didn't mean to say that and someone said they can't eat meat if it's still on the bone. So is that you Claudia? You can't eat meat on the bone. I mean, as a reformed vegetarian, it's yeah, yuck. I used to, as a kid, drumsticks were just the most amazing thing.

But now I have to like, I can't even cut it off the bone. What about wings? No, yuck. What about wicked wings? No, I can't. I get the boneless ones. Yeah.

Like I need, I can't even cut it off the bone myself I give it to someone else like a baby. Isn't that meant to be juicier on the bone? Isn't that the whole idea of serving it on the bone? 100% but I just yeah not for me. No bone for Claudia. No Bri today so I'm gonna try and figure out these birthday bangers all on my lonesome starting with Michelle. Hi Michelle. Hi. Going into a good Easter break are you gonna have the weekend off?

See, I missed Jump Jam by like a year as well. Ella, is this Jump Jam, this song? That's a yes. It is, eh? That'll be why it's got school disco vibes. Oh, it's either that or Akon, and I'm not anti the Akon song, but you know.

Sometimes you gotta change things up a bit. It's not his biggest banger. It's the only reason I didn't vote for it. This is a great Akon song, bro. It is great, but it's just a bit slow. For what is essentially a Friday. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah okay yeah. I mean we set the bar high earlier in the show when we played Creed so. We should have played Nickelback. Oh we should have played Nickelback. We should have just thrown it out the window and played more Creed. We should have played more Creed.

We should have played My Zagre Advice. ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. No Bree today. Claudia and Ella, I need you to weigh in on this. You go into a potluck dinner and the host says, don't bring anything. Listen to this example that I found that someone posted. They said, last week, a close friend hosted just a casual potluck and told us to each bring something if we could. I let her know that I'd be coming straight from work and might be rushed and she

said don't worry about bringing anything she said she had plenty of food and she just wanted me to be there so I showed up empty-handed planning to help clean up later and contribute in a different way but during the dinner she made the comment, someone said this food is fantastic everybody and she made the comment well not everybody contributed but we're still glad that she showed up. People laughed I felt like it was a subtle dig I don't think it was subtle and even though I tried to brush it off I was embarrassed and uncomfortable in that for the rest of the night now I keep thinking about it about it it doesn't seem fair especially since she

explicitly told me not to bring anything and I'm not sure if I should say something or let it go should I have bought something she should say something that's not nice she should she should say something. So mean. That's not nice. She should say, can't talk right now. So fired up. Ella's fired up, yeah. Take time, get your words straight, girl. She should definitely catch up with this friend and go, hey, what was that comment you make

and engage this person's reaction. Yes, yes. If they get a bit awkward, I go, what reaction? And genuinely, it could have been a joke. So you figure it out then, and then you don't overthink. Or if there is a freaking issue, you figure it out. You nip it't overthink or if there is a freaking issue you figure it out You nip it in the bud Yeah because when people say don't bring anything

Especially if it's a close friend Exactly I go thank you okay cool I will take that on board might bring a drink Yeah okay okay yeah Claudia Oh it's so awkward I have it drilled into me that I can't arrive empty handed Yes That's so awkward. I have it drilled into me that I can't arrive empty-handed. Yes. But if they say food's all sorted, then I'm like, cool, the alternatives, bring a wine, bring some drinks, or bring something sweet, a little sweet treat for after dessert. And even dips are good.

Yeah, chips and dip. Yeah, yeah. I'm the same. I can't not bring anything. Yeah, but you shouldn't be singled out and made fun of if you've specifically been told not to and you don't. Especially if it is a big event. But even if you're just coming from work grab a bottle of wine. Yeah. Grab a bottle of wine and say hey this is for you. Box of scorched almonds. It's not enough for everybody but this is for you to say thank you for having us. You say it's for you and then you get a glass of it yourself. Of course you do. The bottle gets opened everybody drinks the bottle. And you drink most of it. And then you're done. Yeah. yeah you know also isn't this why they invented cabri favorites? 100% you know they say not to bring it you go cool yeah sweet I won't bring anything which means I'll it is genius I love good marketing that's so clever because you go I'm so sorry I was rushed so good I've got dessert right there in your brain like could you could you what forefront. Could you, could you?

What? I'm trying to think, could you bring like ice cream? Yeah, I would love that. If you bought, if you bought, Magnums? Cause if you don't, yeah. If you don't have time to cook anything, it is weird to just get something

from the supermarket pre-made, but it's not weird if you go, okay, there'll be eight people there, I'll get two boxes of Magnum mini, mini magnums. One of my favourite friend traditions we always, every time we get together we do the dinner like as an actual thing but then someone's in charge of dessert every time supermarket apple pie and ice cream. Yes like the Sarah Lee one and ice cream. Or get a different brand every time and try every variety of pies. It's genuinely

my dad's favourite meal, supermarket apple pie and ice cream. And a great for a dinner party. So have we decided that this lady was in the wrong and she did need to be called out because she should have bought something. I'm going off the fact that her friend did say you don't need to. It was a dick move to put her on the spot. I think she's hit neutral points, if she brought something she'd'd be in the positive, but she's not in the negatives. She doesn't owe anything. No. She's been told not to bring anything.

Yeah, yeah. I genuinely go off that. Just bring something. Yeah. Wait, so when you've hosted your parties, not, I mean. Oh yeah, if you hosted us, and Ella turned up with nothing,

cause you've told her to bring nothing. Do people do that? Um. Well don't bring anything, we've got it all sorted. Um, no, if I said I've got it all sorted, then I've got it all sorted. Would you be judging the person showing up with nothing? Yeah, bring me a bottle of wine. That's what we just talked about, or a box of Cadbury favourites.

So bring nothing means bring wine. Wine and chocolate. Perfect. Oh my god. Daddy's brain-clenched. No, Brie, today Ella has bad news. So welcome to the new segment I'm calling Bad News with Ella. Oh, that's fun. I could be like Brad News' Brad in the mornings and talk about tariffs like he does.

Oh yeah, okay. Go on then, talk about tariffs. Oh, Trump has introduced tariffs. And tariffs are a massive tax on things we buy. Can I nail it? a massive tax on things we buy. Can I nail it? Pretty much. Pretty much. Damn, wow.

Well, honestly, that could be the reason what I'm about to share with you today. That could be the catalyst of what- Could be the cause, yeah. Could be the cause. So I did see in my scrolling, like a news article pop up. And I was like, what? Something caught my eye.

Coffee could be predicted to go up from, let's say. Could be or is predicted. It was predicted with the times we're in. With the economic times that we're in. From about $7, $6 that we're paying now, a flat white, to $15. When when don't ask me when oh Ella you can't just come in here with a number like 15 and not have a time frame this is partial news Ella yeah this is uh you go do the rest of the research i'm just no headline no i don't want

the headline that's the problem with today's society. People only read the headline. I need the detail. Did you not read the article? Because if you said to me that coffee could be $15 in 30 years time. No, not 30 years. You know, we did do a story on this show about three years ago, just towards the end of COVID, and we talked about how coffee was predicted, the cost of a flat white was predicted to go up to seven dollars fifty And people were like are you kidding? It'll never happen. It'll never happen. Well it's here. It's here. Yeah, you can you can't I mean it's that's the upper end if I If it was more than seven fifty I would shit the bed. I get mad.

I still I still balk at anything in the sevens for a coffee. That's freaking insane. You know what hurts the most? I love an iced coffee. Why does its for a coffee. That's freaking insane. You know what hurts the most? I love an iced coffee. Why does it cost more? For ice. When it's less effort. It takes less time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You probably use more milk, but it's literally like you do the espresso shot and then you pour some milk in. Yeah, you're right. You don't even steam it. It's a bit more milk, but yeah, sure. You've got me something I need to rant about and this is the perfect space to do it. I order moccaccinos, oat moccaccinos and

when I go I would like to have it in... Like a baby. Sorry. It's yummy. It's a gateway drink. Yeah, yeah, you're having your moccaccino. But when I have it in the cafe I'm now getting it handed to me in a glass cup not a mug cup. All those little ones. Yeah. what's that about? They're othering you for your beverage choice. That's a water cup, that's a cold cup. I know the one you took me to. Give me a mug. If you order oat milk, do they give you a marshmallow? No, I don't like marshmallows anyway.

Me neither. They're yucky. Oh. Yeah, they're just nothing. Yeah, yeah, but why wouldn't you get a marshmallow with oat milk? I assume they would assume that you're a vegan and they wouldn't give you the marshmallow. A marshmallow is not vegan.

They're not vegan. They're not vegan. They're not vegan. But yeah, that is the news. Possibly predicted. If these times continue, the economic and the tariffs and all that, blah, blah, blah. Kiwi saver and all of that. Possibly predicted with no timeframe whatsoever.

Coffees could get more. I was gonna call this bad news with Ella. This is now called vague news with Ella. I like that, that should be a statement. This is called news, question mark, with Ella. Let's start the segment and then I'll go on my honeymoon for five weeks as well. Perfect.

ZM Branklin. Borderline on ZM Branklin, that's called When It's Raining. Very appropriate for what's going on in the Upper North Island at the moment. And that's the end of the show. ZM Brie and Clint. For a bit too, we're taking those bonus days in between Easter and Anzac,

so we're having 10 days off, we're back. I don't know, not next week, but next week. But you will be okay, trust me. I hope you are okay in this weather. There's no power at our house but I mean as soon as the wind gets up past the light breeze the power goes out at our place so hopefully it's all good where you are. Our podcasts are out soon, we'll be back as a full team, Bree and I, Monday week. We'll catch you guys then. Have a great long weekend. Bye!
