Starting point is 00:00:14 from the text machine Someone has texted in to say Guys, I was born on the 4th of January which is World Braille Day And how could you That's what your parents were hoping for weren't they? That's every parent's tree.
Starting point is 00:00:27 It's the most significant day. Brie will be gustavis. be gutted that she was born two days before World Braille Day. Oh yeah, she missed it. So close, yet so far. Yeah. Oh, well. How many?
Starting point is 00:00:39 How many? That's a good amount. I was trying to think of a braille joke. I was trying to feel it out. I didn't see any jokes there. Oh, Ella. Sorry, that was bad. This is how many.
Starting point is 00:00:56 The game you win, if you have the most something, Becker is going to play with us today. Kura Becker. Hello. We have 50 KFC chicken dollars on the line for the person who has the most number of schools that they attended as a child. For this, and I need to get consensus from the team, we're accepting primary schools, intermediates and high schools, not universities or politics, correct?
Starting point is 00:01:19 Correct. I would agree, yes. Okay, good. Wait, Kendi? No. No, not Kendi. Okay, primary and up. Not kindi, Becca, okay?
Starting point is 00:01:26 Okay. I don't know how many kindis you got. kicked out of as a kid, so we can't, you know, we can't accept that. Let's start with you, Becca. How many schools did you attend? I attended five different schools. Whoa. That's good.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Why? Just due to moving around. I never got kicked out of school, but I moved around a little bit. Nauty. You got expelled in, you, Becker. Definitely not. Do you have lots of friends or not many friends from having moved around so much? I would say both
Starting point is 00:01:58 I'd say I've got a lot of friends but when you move away they don't always stay in touch and maybe less lifelong friends right? Yeah yeah okay well we could we could heal that hurt with 50 KFC chicken dolls this afternoon
Starting point is 00:02:14 if you have the most schools who do you want to go head to head with who do you think you've been to more schools than Producer Claudia, producer Ella or me Clint I reckon you Clint You're going to be into more than me? Yeah, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Okay, okay. Lock me in then. Let's go to Claude. How many schools, Claude? I only went to two schools. Only two? Yeah. Did you skip high school?
Starting point is 00:02:39 Yeah, I did. Can you tell? Were you homeschooled? Did you do homeschooling for high school? Your dad, your ball date. Oh, you would have been a lovely ball date. You would have won if you chose Claudia, but you didn't. Let's go to Ella.
Starting point is 00:02:53 How many schools for you, Ella? You would have won with me too. Becker, I went to three. Three schools. Yeah. Only got kicked out of one. Not including Sunday school, eh? No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:02 It doesn't count. Well, Becker, it's just me and you. And for all you know, I could have been a real shitbag who was kicked out of multiple schools. Oh, you were definitely, definitely kicked out. No, you're a goody two shoes. But I wasn't. I was a goody two shoes who only went to two schools. Becker, you win.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Whoa. Yay. I went to a combined intermediate in high school. Oh, brag. How did you? You only do two. It was also combined. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yeah, there's only one Catholic school, so they're like, well, we'll just do it all. All the one. Well done, Becca, we've got 50 KFC Chicken Dollars coming your way. Awesome, thank you. No problems. Play Z-Eams, Bree and Clint. We're very excited for this film. I know the girls are lucky to be going to hoity-to-to-y, la-di-da, VIP media premiere tonight, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:03:52 So you guys will get to see Wicked tonight. Yeah. I'm going to tell you all this. Spoilers. No, don't tell me the spoilers, because I'm genuinely excited for this one, and I won't see it until it comes out on Thursday, because I'm a man of the people, unlike you. Oh, shush, you love your VVIP. Eluminati. I've set Claudia the job of looking at the stuff that has come out of the press junkets for Wicked so far. Because Ariana and Cynthia, because we interviewed them last time, Brie and I did, and they were fantastic. They also seem slightly batshit crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:23 They are. They're like on a level of their own. but they're both on the same level, which I quite like. Yes. Like, they're both in on whatever this thing is. And often that stuff can seem contrived. I don't think it is. But they might feel like they're just vibrating on the same. Yeah, frequency.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah, they're holding space. They're definitely holding space. So what are you got for us, Claudia? Well, you were away last week. Did you see the moment where on the carpet that guy came out of nowhere and just got like all up in Ariana's space? Yes. So the facts that I came up with last week, his name is Pajama.
Starting point is 00:04:56 on Instagram. He's a serial guy for doing this. He does it all the time. He's a serial red carpet jumper. He did it to Katie Perry. He did it to the weekend. He's done it at the Cricket World Cup. At the Olympics, there was, I think, a football world cup.
Starting point is 00:05:09 He's done it all the time. But he's just been charged. And it was apparently over $3,000 New Zealand dollars. But that's all. It's just money. I thought there'd be more to it. He's got to go funding on his page weirdly. He didn't assault them.
Starting point is 00:05:21 I mean, it's not not not assault. He ran at her. Put his arms around her. I'd love to hear that in court. The judge is like, well, it's not a salt. Well, it's not a salt. Okay. One of the most important things to remember in Wicked
Starting point is 00:05:34 is that everything they sing in the movie is live. So none of it is trash. That's right. They treated it like an actual stage show, doesn't they? A Broadway production. Exactly right. Which only Cynthia Arrivo and Ariana Grande could do. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And also hugely risky because if you muck up one of the takes, you've got to start all over again and that costs a lot of money on a production like that. True. Yeah. I found a clip from when you were in Bree spoke to them last year, and it was basically them explaining why they decided to go with live singing. I'm obsessed with the hat parade that's been happening.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Not that one? This one. Both of us love to sing so much, but also I think the material demands it. It needs it between the comedic elements and the emotional integrity. It just, you never know what you're going to feel each time you're doing a take. It can feel different We like to surprise each other And also this has been live on Broadway for 21 years
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah There are women who are singing at eight shows a week We have to honour our sister witches And sing it live as many takes as required I forgot how much Ariana Grande sounds like a parody of Ariana Grande On this tour you know She sounds so little
Starting point is 00:06:44 I know she is so little I feel like she's a method actor A with this movie She becomes her characters a bit doesn't she Yeah Okay yeah fair enough And there's actually a clip that went out over the week from the wicked social channels
Starting point is 00:06:54 and it was a behind-the-scenes view of them actually singing while it was being filmed. Which is better than I will sing in my entire life. Oh, that's better than I sing in a shower, of course. 100%. So they sing live during the takes, but then is it dubbed over in post? I imagine it's mixed.
Starting point is 00:07:23 but they think all of the audio that they've used is from on set. So they'll mix it afterwards. That's quite incredible. It's amazing, eh? And a great point that women do this every night on stage, you know? So why not do it in front of cameras? Well, you can do it to get retakes.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Yes, but the stage thing, there's not an expectation that it is perfect, perfect. Yeah, but it's Ariana Grande and Cynthia Revo. They got it. Yeah. And while I was digging through. You got me there, Claude. How are you going to rebut that, huh?
Starting point is 00:07:51 While I was digging through some of the interview that you guys did last year, I found one of my favorite bits when you kind of embarrassed yourself in front of them. Oh, about the hats. Yeah, about the hats. I'm obsessed with the hat parade that's been happening on the press store so far. There's a reason. Yeah, of course. Hats and everything.
Starting point is 00:08:10 What is the reason? She's the way to get rid to the west. What is? He's a beginner. That is the reason. There is a huge thing that she puts on her head. in this thing I promise I saw the film
Starting point is 00:08:23 I promise I was there magical you know I'm subtle not to to the hat we'll get him there yeah yeah I'd seen
Starting point is 00:08:31 wicked for the first time eight hours before that interview so you're like so what's up with the hats I don't I don't get that have you recovered
Starting point is 00:08:40 what's the green thing all about you know anyway Thursday Wicked for Goods Woohoo Book your tickets early because I reckon
Starting point is 00:08:49 that whole first week is it going to be booked out. It's one of those movies, right? It's huge. And no spoilers. No spoilers, please. ZDM's Brie and Clint Podcast. Please welcome to the studio. Our friend who works here at Zedem, it's Macal. Hello, Clint. How are you? Or should I say, Merry Christmas, Macal.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I found out today that you, Macal, who lives, is it one bedroom apartment? Two bedroom apartment? Yeah, it's a one bedroom apartment. How many Christmas trees you're running, Macal? Three. Three Christmas trees I'm totally normal Three full-sized Christmas trees
Starting point is 00:09:25 They're six foot but they're quite narrow Yeah that's a full-sized Christmas tree Long but not so thick You can't really see the tree either Because there's so many decorations on them Are you a Christmas a hollock Is that why you're running three Christmas trees? Yeah I just
Starting point is 00:09:41 Yeah I really love the tackiness of Christmas And how many weird decorations I can put on the tree Yes You also told me just before we came on here that you've already done all of your Christmas shopping and it's all wrapped. Yeah, because it makes the tree look nicer if you've got... To have gifts underneath it, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:57 You're not running any of those fake gifts like the shopping centres where you just wrap up an empty box to make it look good? I know, no, they're all real gifts and I'm completely done for the year. Wow. Why three Christmas trees? Because I can't fit my decorations on one. Yeah. Are you a Christmas decoration connoisseur?
Starting point is 00:10:13 So you collect good Christmas decorations? Yes, and tacky, from all over the world. From all over the world. I love a super. store. Yeah, yeah. So it's kind of like my Christmas tree trees. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Like a souvenir store has just spewed up all over them. Okay. Well, that's a bit better of a reason to be running three Christmas trees. They're three display stands, really, aren't they? Have you considered just getting a girthier, slightly taller Christmas tree that we could fit all of the decorations on? I have not considered that. Or are you a more as more person?
Starting point is 00:10:40 I'm as more as more when it comes to Christmas. Which is good, because this afternoon we're going to try and find the person who has New Zealand's most Christmas trees. And I reckon if you are in the three plus Christmas tree category, your trees are definitely up. Like your trees are up on. What date is it today? The 17th of November.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I think mine went up in August. August? It was like a good school holiday activity with the nieces. I've been running on this show for the last couple of years that November 1 should be the acceptable date to put the Christmas tree up. I don't know about August. Yeah, it was a good activity. The nieces had a slumber party.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Oh, yeah. You know. Yeah, but they would have been like, bro, why are we putting Christmas trees up? Yeah, there was a bit of resistance, but I lie when people tell me, asking about it. Okay, so we're starting the bidding at three Christmas trees. That's what McCall from ZDem has got in her apartment. Can you beat it? Do you or your mum or your crazy auntie or somebody you know have more than three Christmas trees?
Starting point is 00:11:41 Real or fake is interesting to me as well. You've got to have fake because then you can fit as many decorations on. there as possible. Well, you've got to have fake if you're putting them up in August as well. That's true. Otherwise, you've got these dead husks by the start of November in your house. What can we find? Oh, 800 dial Z-M, or you can text yours through to 969696 if you think you or someone you know could be a contender for the New Zealander
Starting point is 00:12:03 with the most Christmas trees. Dead is Franklin. Right now, though, we are trying to find the person who has New Zealand's most Christmas trees. We just spoke with our friend McCall. who lives in a modest one-bedroom apartment in which she has three six-foot Christmas trees. And to me, that's quite a lot.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Do I think it's excessive? No, because I feel like even in a one-bedroom apartment, she could space three Christmas trees out. But she's right on the verge, because they're full sizes. So we're looking this afternoon for New Zealand's most Christmas trees. Let's start with a text machine. My step-mom has six Christmas trees. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yep, golf clap. Not bad, not bad everybody. Six Christmas trees. Then they replied and they said, Oh no, make that seven. Yeah, this is what someone with multiple Christmas trees will often do. They'll put a little miniature in the toilet just on top of the cistern. Just in case you're taking a wee and you forget Christmas is coming.
Starting point is 00:13:08 And you forget that it's Christmas while you're urinating. That's correct. My colleague has five full-sized Christmas trees and at least ten decoration mini trees. They all get a theme per tree each year. Now that's the bit that would drive me insane as if the trees weren't
Starting point is 00:13:24 cohesive. Oh! You know, it's the... It needs to be a theme overall for you. I feel there's got to be some kind of overarching theme that ties them together. We can't have like a white tree, a black tree, a green tree. Diverse.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Yeah, I guess you can. I guess you can. But I get what you're saying. I hate a white Christmas tree. Oh, me too. Yeah, it's something wrong. Because it's not snowy. And we just got rid of our black Christmas tree too.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah, that was a real choice. We're talking about trees, by the way, here. But I, no, it wasn't a choice actually. Thank you, Claudia. Was it a gift? No, it was COVID. And I wanted my child to have a Christmas tree. You could have just put a tree like one of the outside trees.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Their first Christmas. So we went to Midd attending. The only tree they had left was black, okay? Dominique is here. Hi, Dominique. Hello, how are you? I'm well. Merry Christmas.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Merry Christmas, although it's a bit early for me, to be honest. Yeah, yeah. Is it you who is running multiple Christmas trees? Absolutely not. Not you. Okay, I take back the Merry Christmas then. I thought I was talking to an overtrier, so I take it back. No.
Starting point is 00:14:29 No, it's actually one of my best friends. Okay, what are we talking? 18 Christmas trees. 18 Christmas trees? Yep, and all of them are full of decorations too. Full, so, so, so, so, so, so trees big enough that they can be decorated. Absolutely. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:14:47 It would be like a, their house would be like a forest. It almost feels like it. Like you literally walk into winter wonderland. Where do you keep 18 Christmas trees 11 months of the year? Are they up now? It's the 17th of November. Are those 18 Christmas trees all up and decorated now? No.
Starting point is 00:15:08 No, 1st of December is the working big day. Jeez, what, it is a big day to get 18 trees. Okay, your friend is in the lead, Dominique. Thank you very much. Yeah. I have 10 Christmas trees. This is on the text machine. So another three to go.
Starting point is 00:15:25 I have 10 Christmas trees up and another three to go. That's from Kay. Thank you, Kay. We're looking for the most Christmas trees. I don't even have a Christmas tree. I decorate my house plants. It's a money tree slash jade plant. I like that.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I like that. That's eco. Mum had 15 Christmas trees. Oh, and here it is My nan has 64 Christmas trees 64 All in the same house How?
Starting point is 00:15:55 Is it wallpaper? Like, be for real Do you just get rid of your furniture And fill the room with trees? That's kind of cute There's no room for a couch With 64 trees You'd need a storage locker
Starting point is 00:16:05 Yeah Just for Christmas trees It'd feel like it would take as long Like six months to put them up Six months to take them down Just leave them up Yeah What if they work on a Christmas tree farm
Starting point is 00:16:14 and they're just joking. Like Taylor Swift's parents. Oh my God. Magical. Brian Clint, we're going to do a birthday banger next. If you would like to know, the number one song on the day that you turned 16, well, let's bloody well do it, shall we? The phone lines are open and we need three people to call through now.
Starting point is 00:16:32 You tell us your birthday. We tell you your birthday banger. ZDames, Brian and Clint. We would just talk about Christmas over decorators before and multiple Christmas trees. And just to be clear, I'm not anti yet, by the way. I was just looking for the record holder and we found it it was that person's nan
Starting point is 00:16:47 with 64 Christmas trees someone's texted and they said Christmas and festive happy people with excessive decorations don't annoy me nearly as much as the other crowd the ones who extend
Starting point is 00:16:58 the happy new year way too far into the actual new year and I feel like that would resonate with you producer Claudia 100%. So what is the cutoff date for a happy new year? I say like a week is very
Starting point is 00:17:11 appropriate Yeah. Mid-Jan, like you're pushing it. Okay. And then, I mean, even if you haven't seen them that year and it's February, no, you're past it. I feel like, this is what I feel with it. I feel like you're good for all of January,
Starting point is 00:17:27 so long as it's the first time you've seen that person that year. Okay, yeah. Yeah. It's still, I'm giving it a week, a comfortable week. Really? Yeah. So January 8. Am I a New Year's Grinch too?
Starting point is 00:17:38 I think you're in Christmas and New Year's Grinch. I think you're just a 24-7. How are you just a group? Brahingling. All I want through my birthday is a birthday banger. Bah, humbug. This is birthday banger where we tell you the number one song on the day that you turned 16 years old. And Aisha is going to go first.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Cutta Aisha. Hi. How is your weekend? Oh, my weekend is good. Yeah. You get good weather? Yeah. Yeah, it feels like summer.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Let's do your birthday banger. Aisha, what's your date of birth? 25th of March, 2009. Oh, okay, this is going to be a recent one. You were 16 this year on the 25th of March, and on that date, this was the number one song. Kendrick and Sizer from his Grand National album. That's Luther. Do you like it?
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. Yeah. Love Kendrick, love Sizer too, so that's a good one. One wait there, Aisha. We'll do Sophia. Sophia. Yeah, Sophia. Hi, Sophia.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Hi, how are you guys? I always get confused these days because Bree's partner's name is Sophia. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's so weird. But because she's the predominant S-O-P-H-I-A in my life, it's defaulted to Sophia now. But actually, she's the only Sapphire I've ever met. So, Sophia.
Starting point is 00:19:07 I live in Rotorua, and people say So-FIA, and I'm like, no, it's Sophie. but there's a street down here called Sophia. Sophia Street. Yes, there is. I'm from Reddmore as well. Oh my God, I forgot all about that. Oh, there we go. Yeah, so they call it Sophia, and I'm like, no, Sophia.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Sophia. Yeah, it's just throws them off. Yeah, it's the FIA. All right. Well, it's all about you right now, Sophia. Yeah. What is your date of birth? 7th of December 1999.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Okay, you, Sophia, were 16 on the 7th of December 2008, and on that day, this was number one. And if you had snuck into Lava Bar on your 16th birthday This is the song that you would have heard Love it It's a banger It is a banger I actually have a t-shirt from Kmart That's got Lady Gaga's face on it
Starting point is 00:20:00 So it's perfect It is, it couldn't be more perfect, Sophia Yeah Wait there, wait there, wait there We're going to do one more birthday banger for Janelle Who's birthdays today? Happy birthday, Janelle Thank you. What are you doing for your birthday, or did you do it over the weekend?
Starting point is 00:20:15 No, we just pulled up to Burger Fuel for dinner. Oh, yes. Nice. Okay. Is it a birthday of significance? I'm just looking at your numbers. No, not really. 35.
Starting point is 00:20:25 35 is good. I read an article today that 35-year-olds are buying more houses than anybody else in the country at the moment. So maybe you'll get a house for your birthday. Oh, that would be the dream. Wouldn't that be good? Okay, Janelle, the birthday girl. What year were you born? 1990.
Starting point is 00:20:46 1990. Could have worked that out. 2006, you were 16, and this was the number one song. Very good. Justin Timberlake. From arguably his best era, future sex, that's My Love. Do you love it, Janelle? Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I agree with you. I agree. And because it's your birthday, we're just going straighter. No discussion. You're the winner of birthday banger today. Well done. Oh, thank you so much. No worries. Enjoy your burger fuel. Thank you. Brian Clint, from the year 2006. Here's a birthday banger from JT. Z.M.'s Brean Clint podcast. Justin Timberlake and T.I. On Z.M. Brin Clint, that's a birthday. Day Banger for Janelle, whose birthday is today.
Starting point is 00:21:41 That song was number one on this day in 2006. And I think we forget how good that era of Justin Timberlake was, that 2006 window when he was the biggest artist in the world, you know? Well, I don't, I don't forget. You know what? I don't forget. I think about it daily. We were talking before about what the cutoff is for saying Happy New Year randomly.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Claudia, our New Year's Grinch, I wonder if you agree with this text. It says it has to be January for the cut off. And ideally in the first half of January, all these big holiday takers coming back with their happy New Year vibes when the rest of us have been back at work since the 6th of January and completely effed our New Year's resolution a week ago.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Did I write that? From Karen. You may as well have been. I agree with that 100%. I think that person has summed up the vibe perfectly, haven't they? Because there's a certain amount. amount of bitterness um from the from the crowd that have been back at work for so long and you're like no what it was a happy new year yeah we've started the year two weeks ago we're in it now
Starting point is 00:22:49 where you and brie actually claudia and i get here to work and you and brie like hello welcome late to the party guys sorry guys i'm busy listening to 2006 justin timbrelake the zm podcast network brie's away she's back tomorrow we're We should all be back together tomorrow.

Starting point is 00:26:19 No, please don't. No, quickly. Of getting the five tiny little kittens, epic. But once they grew and started getting excited and climbing on things, five, I can admit, was too much. And you know what? That's growth. Both in the cat and, you know, maturity stakes.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yes, well. Look, the five cats in a small unit is one thing. Your husband's, I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say permission because you don't need a man's permission. No, but when you share a space. But you should have at least consulted him before you adopted the five kittens. I literally did two seconds after saying yes. Okay. Anyway, my main concern was that you were going to bond with the kittens and then not be able to say goodbye to them.
Starting point is 00:27:06 and Ella what has happened over the weekend Oh my gosh I was uming and a ring Do I keep Cookie Cookie and I bonded He was this little cute Fluffy black cat And he head bumped me
Starting point is 00:27:18 And we connected It was like a sole cat Even Ryan My husband got into it as well But I did make the call Not to keep him I even made a TikTok Go and convince my husband
Starting point is 00:27:30 To let me keep him And I cried in the office On Friday I didn't keep him You didn't keep him No Why not? That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Because I was worried you were going to want to keep all five. You don't currently have a cat. No. I don't see what's wrong with you adopting one. No, neither, to be honest. The only thing is we do want to travel sometime soon, maybe next year. Yeah. And it's just like, obviously, we're adults now.
Starting point is 00:27:55 It's not like my mom can look after the cat. This is a responsibility. And if I'm preaching it when people adopt these cats, I have to take it on myself and go, well, it's not fair on the kitten. my friend and my friend who said she'd look after it when we go away for a couple of months at the end of the day it's just not fair right or should i have kept it oh my god first adult decision you've made in this entire cat fostering saga it sucked it sucked well well done well done i know it sucks and it would suck if it sucks saying goodbye to any animal that you have bonded with the good thing is the people that took cookie and cocoa so two little boys got to go
Starting point is 00:28:33 home. They have three other cats at home. Some cat ladies out there with five cats now. In the meantime, word on the street is that you've been blacklisted from the cat fostering company where you've been getting these cats from. Because you said you signed up straight away for three more cats. Yeah. So developing story is that we got a message this morning. There's a group chat of us on the shore. I put my hand up to be like, I can do it. But obviously I've had a lot quite, like, recently where other people wanted to turn. But the good news is, Clint, that you don't know
Starting point is 00:29:09 about, and not as my husband, is I'm getting three more fosters tomorrow. Tomorrow. I literally want someone in that group chat to reply with, Jesus, Ella, save some pussy for the rest of us.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I wish the group chat was a little bit more bantery like that, because it is ridiculous. Did you ask your husband this time? No, I'm going to. to rock out. So 8 a.m. I'm going to pick them up and I'm going to go, Ryan. You haven't told him. You've said yes to three more and you haven't told him.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I'm going to walk through the doors with the kittens tomorrow morning. So he can't say no. I'll video it. It's good for my TikTok. I'm called Foster. That's not the right reason to foster these kids. Jesus Christ. It's fun.
