Show requested, so here it is.
As long as you've got da-da-da-d-da.
It's ZDem's Breanclin, thanks to the KFC hacker,
a $499 snack box, $999 lunchbox, or two zingers for just $14.99.
Go, let's go.
I think I met you in a dream last one.
Zedams, Brie and Clint.
And for the first time in like, I don't know, 43 years,
Everybody's here on the Bree and Clint show.
Hooray!
The gang's all here.
Bree's back.
Clint's back.
Claudia is still here.
We've been here the whole time.
Ella, she's still here too.
With my beautiful brows.
Oh, Ella's eyebrows.
It's Bree's first day seeing Ella's eyebrows.
I feel like they should go back on our Instagram story today.
Oh, no.
But let me post a hot photo.
I'm known for a very defined brow and I take a lot of pride in my brows.
You do.
Big, bushy brown brows.
I say big brown energy.
The big brown bush is the way to go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ella has gone for bleached, skin color bleached eyebrows
to the point that they look non-existent.
I just don't get it.
And I'm not going to say, you know, that they look awful.
But she's not going to say they look good.
I probably won't say I love them.
That's okay.
So I'm like neutral.
That's fine.
Which is a bit like your eyebrows.
Shut up.
She has...
No, don't know.
He's going.
No, go on.
But you said you've been colouring them in now.
A little bit.
Just like a little darker, like, gel.
Yes, because her face ID doesn't work anymore.
Can I ask, who was the inspo?
I don't know.
Just all these divas on TikTok we're doing it.
Ariana Grande has been bleaching her eyebrows.
But this is the thing.
It's like when I tried to get a Dane Rumble hair.
haircut. That's Ariana Grande. She can do it.
But that was also for a movie role. It's hard to, it's hard to bleach your eyebrows or to
spike your hair up like Dane Rumble and then just go and do your office job. You know?
Mm-hmm. I think you pull it off. Thank you, baby. Nice to have you back,
you're only saying that because I'm being so awful.
I don't care. We've got it, you know, the yin and yang.
Yeah, it needs to be ying and yang.
We have a fun show on the way for you guys today. Not Alice eyebrows, they're just one of them.
Sorry.
Yang and yang.
It's just yang and yang.
Let's get into Trady versus Lady, where the scores today are not what it says up there,
but it's almost 9591.
Who won yesterday, Claudia?
The Ladies.
It's 9592.
That's the score.
Still bloody close.
If you want to be a part of it, call now.
Oh, 800 dial Z-M.
We'll get you on.
Play Z-N's Brie and Clint.
Time for Trady versus Lady.
It's Trady versus.
Ladies
Three, one, let's go
Yes, welcome back to Trady
versus Lady, where the tradies are currently
in the lead on 95,
the ladies right behind, though, on 92.
Our lady is in Hawks Bay,
she's 17, and she has a
pet.
Budgie?
Oh, budgie.
Is it budgie?
Is it budgie? Does that say budgie?
Emma, is it a pet budgie?
Is it a pet budgie that you've got, Emma?
Yes, I sure.
right because producers that says budge
sorry says she has a pet budge
I can't spell and usually I do the spelling
then Claudia checks all my spelling
so I'm going to blame Claudia for that
welcome to the show Emma
what's your budgie's name
my budgie's name
berry the budgie
what colour? Blueberry color
oh it's classic yeah that makes sense
you're taking on our tradies today from South Auckland
they are 39 and she
went to watch lawnmower
racing on the weekend.
How, yeah.
I didn't even know you could do that.
Welcome to the show, T.J.
Hi, T.J.
Hey, guys.
Right on lawn mowers, I assume.
Yeah, but they're not just a bunch of dads.
They look more like go-karts.
Yeah, yeah.
It'd be boring if they were.
Well, I thought maybe it was dads like pushing lawn mowers around.
It was a race to see who could mow the lawn the fastest.
What lawn mower took it out, T.J.
Oh, it was green.
Oh, nice.
John Deer, maybe.
John Deer, yeah.
We should enter.
We should.
We should build our own lawn mower.
I can.
And enter into the lawn mowing race.
Hell yeah.
We might be there next year with you, T.J.
You can be in our pit crew.
Okay, let's go with names as buzzers today.
T.J.
Emma, those are your buzzers.
And the first person to give us three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go.
Question number one.
Jeff Bezos is known for owning which global company?
Emma.
Yes, Emma.
Amazon?
It is Amazon.
Started out just selling books online.
Out of his garage.
Was it?
Yeah, that makes sense.

18's correct.
She's got it.
It's the ladies' day.
Not one question was wrong.
Not one answer, sorry, was wrong.
From anybody.
From anyone.
Yeah, no duds.
It's a great game.
Yeah.
Thanks, everybody.
That was fantastic.
Ladies get it, which means there are only two points behind the tradies now.
Congrats, Emma.
We've got 50 bucks coming your way, thanks to KFC.
Well done.
Z.M's Brie and Clint podcast.
Bree and Clint.
And Bree's back today.
Yeah, my first day.
So be kind, be nice.
Let me ease and do it.
Always. I just bought you a Mokicino,
single shot, just like you like.
Thank you very much.
It was delicious.
You'll be excited to see everybody now that you're back too
because you've been away for a bit,
including our friend Claire, who works here at ZM.
Yeah.
She, lovely Claire, who we love.
I saw her out in the kitchen on her crutches.
Oh, Claire.
She broke her leg on her big Vietnam trip.
Yeah, she fell off a bicycle.
So she's on crutches for the rest of the year
And she's also got this wheelchair
Which I'm so stoked she bought in
Because I wanted to do wheelchair races on it
We should
They've given her one of the wheelchairs
That you can't wheel yourself
It doesn't have the large
I asked her about that
Large wheels that you can wheel
So because they need to put this extra piece on there
So that her leg can be elevated
Yeah
The other wheelchair doesn't work
Because the tyre would hit it
Right
So she has to have that one
Well we can race in her wheelchair
We'll just need to push each other
Okay
Okay.
Anyway, she's out there hobbling around the kitchen,
trying desperately and somewhat pathetically to make her own lunch.
And God, you can't help her feel sorry for someone in that situation.
Yeah.
And Ross Boss comes out and he goes, oh, there's the nan that's had a fall.
That's how he described her, the nan that's had a fall.
Ross.
Ross.
Think it.
Don't say it.
You leave her alone.
Okay.
And she said.
She's our nan that's had a fall.
Yeah.
She said, hey, I'm not the.
nan of Z-M, that's Brie.
No, I take it back.
She's on my list, I'm going to break her other league.
She said, I'm going to break the other one.
You hear me, Claire?
I know you can hear me out there.
As the oldest woman of ZDM,
Bree is the nan of our radio station.
So I've done the research for you.
Because I was like, wait a second,
surely not, surely not the youthful, effervescent beauty
that is Brie Thomas.
Stop trying to sugarcoat this.
Can't be possible.
So I've done the rounds of the matriarchs of our station.
Claire.
Definitely one of them.
Yep.
May 1st, 1990.
Okay.
Yep, I'm older than her.
And then I thought about Haley.
We're the same year.
You are the same year.
Haley, 8th of October, 1989.
No, I'm before that in the same year.
And Bree Tomicel
January 3rd
I mean there's a couple of months in it
Big deal
Big deal
Big deal
Haley and I are the same year
Yeah most people have two nans
Why can't we have two nans of ZM
I only bring this up
And rich of me
The only way I can bring this up
Is because I feel like a
Bonafide Spring Chicken
Around the likes of Fletch
Vaughn and Rospos
You know?
Yeah we need to get some older birds up in here
Don't we?
Yeah
Yeah
Why aren't we hiring the older ladies?
Where do we get some older ladies from?
Do you think they're not good enough for ZM, Ross?
Do you think that the older ladies don't have a place here at ZM?
I thought, because you are the nan of ZDM.
Can you stop calling me that?
Because I think I have quite a useful energy.
No, you absolutely do.
I'm very immature, which makes me seem younger.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah.
So I wouldn't say I'm the nan.
No.
but your driver's license would.
Yes, that's the only thing.
Yeah, and it doesn't mean you behave like a nan.
And my hip that gets sore when it's damp.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and that wonky knee of yours.
Yeah, they crack when I bend down.
And that one sandal that has to be thicker than the other sandals
so that you don't, so you don't hobble along.
That's, they're not, that's not a medical sandal.
It's called an espadryl.
Why do you only wear one?
We want to know, are you the nan of your workplace?
Are you the eldest, oldest person in your job by how much?
And what do you do?
Like, what industry are you in?
And is it hard to relate to the youth within the workplace?
I'm down with the youths.
Yeah.
Yep.
Like Ella's in the brooks.
Like Ella's bleached eyebrows.
Yeah.
I love it.
You're hopping on next week, aren't you?
I'm doing it next week.
She's going to do it.
Yeah.
I'm going to shave a side part.
I'm going to shave side of my head.
Are you?
Yeah, I'm buying a pair of jorts too.
Skin jorts.
Say six, seven in the office a lot.
Six, seven.
Oh, I hate myself.
Oh, 800 dial Zidim.
Are you the nan or the granddad of the place that you work?
And was it always like that?
And are you still?
You found yourself at some stage.
You're like, oh my God, I am the oldest goddamn person here.
And are you still super young like me?
Yeah.
Can I also just say, I'm not the oldest at ZM, though?
Absolutely not.
Yeah.
It'll always be Fletch.
on your fletch
Zatins
Franklin
shocking revelation
on the show today
I don't think we need to
reiterate
I think we just move on
are you the oldest
in your workplace
let's take calls
respect your elders
and if that's what you want to do
Nan
that's what we will do
You are my elder
yeah but you're the nan
of ZM is what we found out today
I'm wiser
yeah you are
and you're more authoritative
because you're
I definitely
who do you
is more authoritative out of you and I.
You. Are you in the same room?
You.
Are you in the same room as me?
Okay. Okay, sorry, it's me.
Shut up.
We want to know, are you the nan of your workplace or the granddad?
And Neil's called through.
Gidey Neil.
Hi, Neil.
Hey, mate.
Are you the granddad of your workplace?
Oh, very much so.
Okay, how old are you, first of all?
because it's shocking to find out that Brie is the nan of Z-M at just 35.
Oh, yeah, but I can give her half of my age and she'll still be younger than me.
See, I like this, Neil. Tell me more.
Yeah, so I'm 70.
Okay.
And it's time to retire.
Yes.
But I'm having too much fun.
Oh, I love that, Neil. Then don't retire, Neil.
I'm not going to retire just yet.
What do you do for work? Where do you work?
I'm a project manager for IT.
for IT, okay. And what would you say as the average age of your co-workers?
Oh, 2030.
Really?
Wow. Do you struggle to understand them sometimes, Neil?
Because I don't know what producer Ella's saying half the time.
Absolutely. Way out of my death.
So as the granddad of your workplace, and you must have been that for a long time,
what's your advice to Bree as the nan of ZM?
How can she navigate her way through this confusing young world?
Any good creams you can recommend, Neil?
Make sure that you get your birthday banger up.
That's the first thing.
Oh, yeah.
So you've got to have that.
Would you?
I mean, you're a great job because, you know, you get constant lots of people,
lots of fun, lots of laughter.
Keeps you young, right?
Yeah, that's the way to go.
Yeah, okay.
I like what you're saying, Neil.
Have we done your birthday banger, Neil?
Oh, I'm afraid to say I'm guilty.
Yes, you have, and I can't remember what it was.
Oh, no, wait there.
We'll get the girls to figure it out for you.
Can you hold the line for us?
Hold there, Neil.
Okay, thank you.
We asked people to contact us if they were the nan or granddad of their workplace.
And we've had nothing but the opposite apart from Neil.
Everybody's messaging through who is the baby of their workplace
and what it's like to work with people like you.
Stop putting me in a different boat to you.
You're older than me.
It just feels so good for a change.
Someone said, bro, the oldest guy at my workplace is 68.
I'm the youngest at 34.
That's double your age.
Yeah, wow.
Yeah, they could learn a lot from you and you could learn a lot from them.
Yep.
Okay.
Someone said, guys, hire me.
I'm old and radio seems way better than working in a funeral home.
Yeah.
Come on down.
Yeah, come on down.
Come on down.
We'll take you.
I'm not the oldest.
We'll take them if they're a woman and they're older than me.
That's the new hiring criteria for ZM.
Yes, they have to be older than me.
Yeah, and a woman.
And a woman.
Okay, good.
That's it.
I don't think we can get in trouble for that.
You're hired.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not the oldest, but I am the youngest by nearly 30 years, and I'm the manager.
Oh, wow.
That's interesting.
I'm not the nan, but I'm easily 20 years younger than my workmates.
It's so weird.
They're all talking about menopause and adult children, and I'm like,
I have a cat.
Yeah, it'd be quite difficult at the water cooler, wouldn't it?
Well, this is the thing.
You have to find common ground, don't you?
But then I feel like some of the best friendships are the age gap friendships.
Totally.
They're the best because you learn so much more from them because they have a different perspective.
We've got Neil back and we've actually managed to figure out Neil's birthday banger.
Are you there, Neil?
I'm still here hanging around.
Okay, so we haven't got the numbers for you.
but Claudia's figured it out.
What is your birthday, Neil?
25th of March, 55.
So 1955.
Okay, that means Neil.
You were 16 in 1971.
And here's your birthday banger.
I will know.
Have you ever been?
Oh, Neil, it's a banger.
That is an absolute banger.
Credence, Clearwater.
Yep, we're libel.
Neil, this is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Yeah, Neil, you're a hoot.
You're a hoot, and we would like to officially ask you to be the granddad of ZM instead of Fletch.
Are you keen?
I'd have to come to your office.
Yeah, we'll have you.
Yeah, come, because Brie can't get into her email, so she needs an IT person.
That's actually a true story.
Yeah, but I get young IT people to help.
Yeah, so does Brie.
And I still can't do it.
Z&M's Brie and Clint.
Time for the tea.
This is the tea
Robbie Williams
Man Robby Williams is in the news
A lot at the moment
Yeah, he has been
He had that doco come out
That he had the movie come out
Where he was a monkey
Yeah, he's touring
He's touring again
He's also on what he calls
The Fat Jabs
Which is the weight loss injections
What does he call him?
Fat Jabs
I didn't realize he'd been taking
OZMPIC
Me neither
You never know though do you
with celebrities, or anybody, I guess.
He is saying that he believes the fat jabs in his words
are making him go blind.
It's probably a good reason not to take him.
He said he went to an American football game the other night
and the players were just blobs on a green field in front of him.
And he said, what the F is happening?
Now, bear in mind he's 51
and people have put it to him that he's just getting old
and his eyes are going.
Yeah, but if it's drastically changed,
then it could be from that.
Yeah, yeah.
So he reckons it's one of the side effects.
And this is the thing about these new drugs
is nobody truly knows long term what the side effects are.
And I'm not saying you shouldn't take them.
I'm not a doctor.
You should never listen to a radio presenter's advice on anything.
They do say that.
But we don't know.
It's like vaping.
Nobody knows the long-term effects.
There's not enough research.
Did I hear right there's something called OZempic?
O-Zempic downstairs for men.
Like wear it.
Really?
Where it makes it really hard or not, actually.
I've not heard, yeah, I've not heard that.
But could it also, I don't know if you've got a thicker one,
could it make it thinner?
I don't know.
That's a great question.
You know your feet, you know your feet, if you lose enough weight, you lose sizes.
In your feet?
In your feet.
Well, yeah, when you get pregnant, you can gain a shoe size.
Yeah, wild.
We just don't know, Bree.
We just don't know.
But what you just said is enough to scare me out of taking it for life.
That's the T.
Dead Am's Breed and Clint podcast.
I saw this article on the New Zealand Herald website today,
and the title was,
What to Do If You Hate Your Son's Girlfriend, and She Can't Stand You Too.
Which I found interesting for a few reasons.
Firstly, why just son's girlfriend?
Why not do you hate your daughter's boyfriend?
Yeah.
Or your son's boyfriend.
Yeah.
Or your girls or your daughter's girlfriend.
Yeah.
Have we covered everyone?
I think we've got everyone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, some of the advice that it includes,
and I believe this article is speaking specifically to mums who hate their son's girlfriend.
Yeah, because no one will ever be good enough for their sons.
Well, that's the stereotype, isn't it?
That's the stereotype.
And that's who I believe this.
article was directed at. Okay. Some of the advice included, so this is to the mums who hate the
girlfriend. Right. Reflect on why you dislike her. Mm-hmm. Respect your son's boundaries.
Communicate calmly and respectfully. Yep. Try to understand their perspective. Mm-hmm. And pick your
battles. All good advice. I mean, it is all pretty good advice. Seems simple. Yeah. But it's not
always that simple. And it also isn't always logical.
Like, I don't know, I haven't been in this situation, but maybe it's like an irrational hatred.
Has any of your girlfriend's mum's ever hated you?
No, I've always been pretty popular with the...
Well, that's what you think.
You wouldn't have known.
Well, no, you get a vibe, you know?
Yeah, sometimes you do usually know.
There was an SNL sketch the other week about missing your ex's dad.
I think it was for guys
and it was about like
when you broke up with someone
and that feeling of missing
because you get along better with their parents
Yeah
and you're like oh I miss them
You bond with your girlfriend's dad
and you guys would have had beers together
and watched rugby together
and things like that
And then after the breakup you're like
I don't miss her but man I really miss her dad
Is it wrong to still hang out with your ex's parents
Like if you were friends with them
You know
Such a good question
Like is that frowned upon?
Yeah yeah I think about my ex's parents
regularly.
Yeah, like, what if you wanted to catch up with one of them for a beer?
Oh, totally.
I'm like, I wonder what Judy and Brad are up to.
Love those guys.
I'm over for a canastanite with Judy and Brad.
And that is nothing against my current in-laws.
You know, love them too.
Yeah.
You could have two sets.
It's really like going out on the boat with Brad, you know?
You should give Brad a call.
I should call Brad.
I should call him.
I thought we could speak to people this afternoon
whose partner's parents don't like them.
Are you the hated?
so-and-so who stole mummy's special boy away from her.
Or maybe it's warranted and you've done something naughty.
Oh yeah, maybe you're a total shit bag.
Yeah.
Maybe you're like an ex-con and...
Maybe you cheated on their...
Yeah, maybe you cheated on their son or daughter.
On their son or daughter.
And they took you back.
But not before they went crying to mum and dad and told them everything.
See, that's always the risk.
And they said, we never liked him.
And you said, thanks, mum.
And then next week you got back together with them and now it's awkward.
And it's all out in the open.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Are you the person whose partner's parents dislike?
And why?
And why?
And maybe there is no why or maybe you don't know.
Maybe it's irrational.
Yeah, you don't know why.
Yeah.
But we want like receipts, like things they might have said to you that back up your claims.
Yeah.
How do you know that they don't like you?
Yeah.
Did they say or do something?
Do they buy?
Sometimes they make it really obvious.
Do they leave you?
out of the secret Santa
and everyone else is included.
Do they intentionally call you the wrong name?
Oh, yeah.
Do they call you by their child's previous partner's name
who they did like?
Mm-hmm.
0800 dial Zat M where you can text to 96696.
We can keep you anonymous this afternoon.
We want to know if your partners' parents
hate you.
The ZM Podcast Network.
The question we've asked this afternoon is,
your partner's parents not like you?
And why?
And why?
What's the reason?
Maybe there isn't one.
Yeah, maybe it's totally irrational.
Nobody wants to come on air and talk about this, which is understandable.
It's a very touchy subject, but we have received quite a lot of texts.
Like this one.
My partner is still super close with his ex's parents, and it does my head in.
Oh, that's about our other topic of can you still be friends with your ex's parents.
Yeah.
So this person would prefer that their partner wasn't still friends with their ex's parents.
It would be a bit strange.
Yeah, but you can't be jealous of the parents.
No, but then it would just be weird to navigate that.
You'd be like, oh, I'm going over to Sue and Dave's.
Yeah, and you go, do you mean your ex-girlfriend's house?
Yeah.
And you go, no, she doesn't own it.
Oh, well, Dave, Dave asked me to go around for a barbecue.
What's your game?
The league's on.
Yeah.
My husband's mum stopped talking to him because he won't leave me.
Oh.
Wow.
She's fully emotional blackmailing her son into leaving his wife.
Not just his girlfriend, his wife.
Yeah.
And that's on the mum.
That's on the mum.
That's on the mum.
What?
What?
I'd love to know why.
Yeah.
I'd love to know why.
And text us back and be honest.
Like if there is a reason.
Did you do anything?
But if there's not.
Or if you don't know, yeah, text that through.
Someone said, she doesn't like me.
My partner's mum doesn't like me
because she wanted him to end up with her best friend's kid.
Oh, she'd already done the matchmaker thing in her head.
What a crappy reason not to like you.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Like, obviously, you just wanted her son to get with her friend's daughter
so that they could have more wines and have more Christmases
together. But they can still do that.
I helped my husband develop a spine
and now he doesn't jump
whenever his mummy says jump.
And I bet the mum is like
he's changed ever since she
came into his life. She's poisoned
him against me. He's
totally different now. Someone else
has texted in and said, guys, this conversation
is why I like being single.
Yeah, I mean fair.
You know it is simple being single, isn't it?
Yeah. Um, so
Someone said, in my early 20s, my first girlfriend's mum never liked me.
Never really found out why, but I was a bit of a dumb-ass dude back then.
So in hindsight, I'm not surprised.
The ex is now my best friend and her mom is still the only partner's parent to ever hate me.
Interesting.
Good track record then.
Yeah, it is.
And I mean, if you can self-identify yourself as a dumb-ass dude.
Yeah.
Then you know what?
That's a very likable trait.
I feel like she should have, you sound like quite a likable dumb-ass.
I wonder if she likes them now.
Now that they're besties.
Yeah.
My partner had to ring his mum for some paperwork
so that he could get a passport.
And he said, I miss my mum.
And she said, if you're still with her,
there is no future for us.
That's wild.
That was seven years ago.
That's awful.
We've got a caller here whose mother-in-law wants their partner to leave her.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hi Anonymous.
Oh, that was my text you just read out.
No, the seven years hasn't talked in seven years.
Correct.
Why does your partner's mum, is it a partner or husband?
Husband.
Husband, why does your husband's mum dislike you so much that she wants her son to leave you?
So from my point of view, we had a mutual falling out with one of his siblings.
He had his own reasons and I had mine.
Yeah.
But she put it all under the same category.
that I was the reason.
It was you.
Oh, God.
Have you since reconciled with that sibling?
Nope.
No.
Yeah, and obviously the mum has just automatically took that sibling's side.
Yeah, oh yeah, they're a very good happy family.
Yeah.
And it's me, my husband and my children, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Yeah, no, good on you, anonymous.
That sucks, though.
Family stuff, right?
Eh, hell off, not ours.
Every family's got that stuff.
100%.
You know?
Yeah, yeah.
Where things just get complicated.
Yeah.
Okay, well, as long as you guys are happy Anonymous,
it's a tricky situation to have to be.
Sounds like it's funny, isn't it?
People don't know what to say, but, you know.
Anonymous, to me, it sounds like you guys are better off
without that relationship in your life.
And as sad as my husband will tell you the same thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's hard.
I think people struggle when it's family and your blood-related.
It's hard when it's your mom.
So you put up with being treated.
She did badly, but yeah, obviously you've made the right decision.
That's how you broke the cycle.
Yeah.
I'll listen to you, Anonymous.
You've got it worked out Anonymous.
Very emotionally mature.
Get this one.
My ex from six years ago, okay?
I'm Chinese and she's Korean.
Her mum hated me after one meeting.
She wanted her to break up with me.
Eventually, she went on a hunger strike.
What?
Until we broke up after four months.
Okay, that's actually ridiculous.
Your ex-partner's mum went on a hunger strike so that they would leave you.
Because they mentioned in the text that their Chinese and she's Korean,
was it because of that, do you reckon?
It sounds like it.
Like if they've mentioned that.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
That's crazy.
Real old-school stuff, hey.
That's so old school.
Oh, and the dumb-ass dude is text back.
Oh, what they say?
From the start.
Yeah.
Because he said his girl, just to recap, his girlfriend's mom always hated him.
Yep, and it's because he was a bit of a dumb-ass dude when he was younger.
But they've since broken up and every partner since their mom has loved him.
She's the only mom to ever hate him.
And then I said, because he's...
And they're now best friends.
And I said, does the mum love him now?
Because obviously he's still in that girl's life.
Dumb-ass dude here, she still hates me.
What did you do?
You haven't been able to come back from it?
He said, he's like, I did some dumb-ass shit.
Unless you didn't go on a hunger strike.
Yeah, true.
Way to make it about yourself, eh?
Wild.
It's ZM's Brea and Clint Podcast.
Back to our topic from before, but not the one we were doing, the topic from before the topic,
the one about whether it's okay to still be friends with your ex's parents.
Like, do you still hang out with Gary and Susan?
Yeah.
Without your ex there.
Even though you broke up with Jessica.
Yeah, you still want to hang out with Gary and Susan.
You still go and see Gary for a beer in the man cave.
This text, my mum is still super close with my ex.
Even though he's got a new partner and I also have a new partner.
And it is super weird having him brought up in daily conversations with my mum.
That is bizarre.
That one's even more bizarre to me because it's a, it's a mum ex-boyfriend relationship.
You know what it comes down to for me?
What?
It comes down to how long...
Sexual attraction.
No.
God, is that all you think about?
I feel like it's on your brain 24-70.
No, every now and then I take a break to play another Olivia Dean song.
Oh, yeah, true.
Or think about the world wars.
Or the Roman Empire.
Yeah.
And that's probably about it.
Yeah. Very sexual, the Roman Empire.
Those bathhouses.
Don't get me around a Roman sandal.
I can't control myself.
Don't get me near an aqueduct.
God, as soon as they...
I gush over an aqueduct.
As soon as they put on...
Oh, the Trojan horse, talk dirty to me.
What was I saying?
I have no idea.
It comes down to how long the relationship was.
Yeah.
Like, if it was like a 10-year relationship...
Yeah.
It's hard because, of course, the mum would have had
an actual full decade relationship with your ex.
Yeah.
So it's hard to just let that go.
But it is a real mark of solidarity to ex-community
to excommunicate that person to sort of stand with your child, you know,
and go, as much as we loved Clint, I promise we won't talk to him for a while.
But let's just say, no one did anything wrong.
Yeah.
You just fell out of love?
Yeah.
And it was all amicable.
Yeah.
Like, still, read the room.
Like, if they...
Can we call my mum?
I want to know if she's still hanging out with any of my exes.
Yeah, that'd be a great question to put to them.
To her, yeah.
Oh my God, all these texts are coming in.
We've got to do this as a topic.
I'm still maxed with my ex's dad and all of his friends.
We go for beers sometimes.
There you go.
I freaking love that so much.
The dad is now a part of their friend group.
Okay, 0,800M if you want to play, let's get classical.
Oh, we've got Mama Di here.
Oh, Mama Dies.
Jeez, that was fast.
Hi, Mama Di.
Hi, Mom.
I'm on speed dial.
Yeah.
Are you listening?
No, I'm not to be honest.
Okay, we've got a very simple question for you.
You don't need any context for this one, okay?
No, just a simple yes or no.
So just think about all of my exes from the past, Mum.
Think about all my exes?
Yes.
Are you still friends with any of them?
Oh, not friends as such, but I'm more than having.
happy if they ring me or I ring them.
Do they ring you?
Do you ring them?
No.
Have you seen any of them recently?
I better stop and think about this because it might be...
That's not a good sign.
No.
Probably there's one, I suppose, maybe.
Which one?
I feel like I'm being cheated on by my own mother.
Which one?
No, don't get her to name them.
You said it would be yes or I know.
So that's yes.
Yes.
That's the answer.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, we need to have a conversation off air, Mum.
I need to know who.
Let me clarify something.
It's not my fault that Brianna goes out with the most fabulous people.
So how can I not be friends with them?
Oh my God.
That was a beautiful way to navigate that.
Yeah, now I just love you even more, Mum.
Yeah.
Oh, she does.
She goes out with beautiful people.
and then she expects me to break it off.
Yeah.
This is what I was saying.
It's hard.
If you date someone for a long time,
you bring these people into your family's life and then you rip them away.
Also, your mum's really making it sound like you've dated so many people.
Your mum's like, that's wonderful giggle of people.
Well, she hasn't dated that many,
but I can honestly say out of the one she's dated,
there's probably one that wasn't suitable for her.
I'm not saying she wasn't a lovely person.
Yeah.
Are you friends with that one?
No.
No.
Did you always, like, have these feelings where you were like, oh, this one not good?
But you never said that to me until we broke up?
Yes.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And that's fair enough.
But what she did to you...
Why are we having a therapy session on air?
Well, what I'm saying is at the time, she was wonderful, but I knew long term, it just, yeah.
You know what it was, Mum?
You know what it was, and I know you're not saying it, but I know why you didn't like it.
Because she was vegan.
Ah, that's probably one of the reasons.
Yeah, there we go.
We got to it.
Hey, thanks, Mama Di, we appreciate you so much.
Love you, bye.
Love you.
See you.
I don't believe me.
Bye.
Bye.
What the hell.
What just happened?
What just happened?
Whatever happens on this show?
I don't need to...
I need to cancel my therapy appointment this week.
I just had it.
A ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.
Classical, let's get Classical.
The game where we guess pop songs and classical style,
it's you and me, Bree,
against the evil producer Ella.
Good morning.
Ah, your evil highness.
Hello.
Ha ha ha.
If you've text in backing a team, either Team Bree and Clint or Team Aller, you could be in the running for, I got it wrong before, $50 cash, thanks to Neon.
Even better, cash money.
So still time to get those texts in.
Claudia's in charge of this game.
Hi, Claudia.
Hello.
How are we?
Good, thanks.
Good morning, thanks.
Good morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Yep, that too.
Is everyone feeling very zen today?
Yeah.
I want a nice, clean game from everyone.
In the zone.
It's lovely to be up for the sunrise.
Oh, that's so nice.
Okay, the way the game works,
these are pop songs that I've redone in a classical style.
You guys just need to buzz in with your name
and tell me the name of the song and the name of the artist.
Got it.
Are we ready?
Yes, my lovely friend.
Here's your first song.
Clint.
Clint, very quick.
Oh, Ella.
I know it.
I know it.
He buzzed in for us.
I buzzed in too.
Clint, you've got to say something.
Oh, come on.
Clint, Eminem Rihanna, the monster.
Well done.
That was close.
It was there.
It was right there.
It was right there.
You had to have that one.
You buzzed in, and then your face immediately was like, oh no.
Oh, no.
Okay, well done.
You pulled it back.
Nice, very nice.
One point for Team Brean Clent, but here's another song.
Ella! Ella! She's done the same thing as Clint, and her face has dropped.
I've got about as much of it as she does.
What have you got?
Sorry.
Love to dance?
No.
No.
Free guess for us?
Quick guess, though.
Three, two.
Let's go for free.
Nicky Minaj.
It's not that.
Yeah, go for it.
It's free.
It's not super bass.
It's the other one.
Star Ship.
Star Ship.
It's correct.
She's ready to do it.
Hannah, well done.
We've got $50 cash coming your way.
Thanks to Neon.
Yeah, let's go, Hannah.
You won, Hannah.
Well done.
Sorry, I didn't even realize you were just talking to me.
Yeah, it's you.
Yeah, you're on, Hannah.
I had so much space on you guys.
Thank you, mate.
Glad we could deliver.
You know my birthday?
You know my favorite type of pants?
Shut.
A down trail.
Don't say it.
Stop!
That's your back sore Nana Bree?
We pulled her jorts down and spanked her.
Breancloth, my back after this.
Play ZDM's Brie and Clint.
Claudia's got a question for everybody.
Claudia?
Kiyoda, what's up?
Is that the question?
How are you?
Is the question?
Yeah, good.
Good?
How are you?
No, I actually have a bigger question than that.
Okay.
I was doing, as everyone does, my nightly TikTok scroll.
And this video came up, and it's all.
about how you remember the north, south, east, and west, like, which direction is which.
Yes.
And the little sentence that they were using for north, east, southwest.
Yeah, there's like a little saying to remember how it goes.
Everyone has a saying.
And I just assumed that, I mean, I guess it's regional, but I assumed we all had the same
saying, but these guys' ones I've never heard before, which makes me think, does everyone
have something different?
I was going to do something.
Should we listen?
Should we all do ours at the same time?
Yeah, we should all do ours at the same time.
Because I believe we've all got the same one.
I reckon we've all got the same one.
Well, Ella, maybe not.
I do.
Okay.
I'm just confident.
Ella's all have something to do with the Lorax.
No, okay, here we go.
You ready?
Yeah.
Three, two, one.
Never eat soggy wheat picks.
Yay.
We've all got the same one.
We've all had the same upbringing.
Hey, there is balance in the world.
Okay.
You should hear what these guys say, though.
I had to do never eat shredded wheat real quick.
What?
You had to do what?
You don't know that trick for directions
Never eat shredded wheat
Yeah, but to remember
Never eat soggy waffles
Oh, never eat soggy waffles
Yes, that's what we had
We didn't have shredded wheat
Wait, wait
Both of them
Yes
I love how the first guy says something
Completely random
And then the other guy's like
No, it's this
And it's still not right
Well, to be fair to them
They don't have wheatbicks in America
And are wheatbicks
Shred Wheat? Because if they are
Because technically...
If they are, that's buzzy that it has transcended...
Is that like a really buffed weekbicks?
Shredded wheat.
Imagine how dry that would be.
You know what's confused me the most is they say never eat soggy wheatbooks?
But isn't that the exact way to eat them?
Yeah, that's how I eat my wheatbacks.
Yeah, that's the best way.
Wait, okay, hold on.
Some people eat them crunchy though.
Okay, hold on.
They pour cold milk on and then they just go...
Oh!
Isn't that what you do?
That is animal behavior.
Yeah, no, no.
Especially the people who eat the multi-grained wheat picks.
How are you eating wheat picks?
I want to know everyone's wheat picks method.
I've told you, and it really makes you mad.
You eat yours with water.
Boiling water.
Water?
My mom did that as a kid.
I don't mind that.
Are you insane?
No, it's nice.
Put a little bit of sugar on.
You know what's nice?
You put the milk in the bowl, you heat the milk up in the microwave,
so it's just nice and toasty.
Then you drop your wheat picks in,
and then you put the most sugar you've ever seen
on top of your wheat picks.
That's how you eat them.
Now, don't get angry when I say this
because I know that you weren't,
but in my house we called that
rich family wheat packs.
Oh yeah, I never had that as kids.
I have it now.
Yeah.
Guys, there's so many different options.
I'm so rich.
Back to the north-south and week-ex.
There's so many options coming through
on the text machine that I've never heard before.
Wait, are there other ones?
Nauty elephant squirt water.
Someone said I teach my class,
never eat slimy worms.
Never, that doesn't work.
Oh yes, one of the worms.
Someone said, never eat wet sausage.
That one doesn't work.
No, I think that was for another topic we were doing earlier.
That doesn't work.
It's meant to follow its way around the compass, clockwise.
Never eat wet sausage doesn't work.
Nauty elephant smash windows.
Never ever smoke weed.
Never ever smoke weed.
That works.
Never ever smash windows.
I've never heard of any of these.
Someone goes, did you know that's why it's called the news?
north, south, east, and west and south?
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
That's one of those ones where they go,
did you know that the hole in the middle of the pastor strainer
is exactly one serving of pasta?
No, that's a coincidence.
What you're talking about is a coincidence.
It's like the one, another one of those is the weather
when you look it up and if it says 35% chance
and people are like, yeah, that means it's going to rain
in 35% of the area.
It's not.
Never eat Sophie.
Walker, my name is Sophie Walker.
Oh, poor Sophie Walker.
It's a Tuesday and when we're all here, and actually even when we're not, we go looking for a
name in a haystack, the hardest game in radio.
So hard, it's never been successfully completed.
We call a random business looking for a random name, and if the person with that name answers
the phone brie. Today they'll win
$2,450. It's our
49th attempt at getting this right.
Jeez, we've tried our best
and our best has not been good enough
but it could be today. It could be today.
It could be today. Wouldn't that be a nice way to bring the show
back together? God, that'd be lovely.
Claudia, what are you choosing for us today?
I'm doing the name. Okay, what is
the name? The name today. Fill it with good
juju please. Okay, good energy. Don't pick
the name juju. Yeah, don't pick the name
Ju-Ju. Okay, I'll cross that off the list.
That was going to be next week. No, this week
positive energy, very happy to say
Ryan. We're looking for Ryan.
That's a solid name.
I think it's quite common. It's also Ella's
husband's name. Sexy name.
And he works from home so
Ella, you can't make the workplace, your house.
Oh, damn it.
Yeah. We can't call your
work bench, okay? Fine.
Now, I want to go to Nelson
at the Vic Public House.
The Vic Public House.
A little pub in Nelson.
Ryan sounds like a nice bartender.
Okay, Cordia.
Please connect the call to the Vic Public House in Sunny Nelson,
where today, if Ryan answers the phone, he'll get $2,400 ford-dollar.
Oh, that I feel good.
I feel good about this.
Big Public House, I'm speaking.
Hi there.
Who are we speaking with, sorry?
This is Sandra.
Hi, Sandra.
It's Bree and Clint calling from ZM Radio Station.
Hi, Sandra.
Hello, how you doing?
We're well.
Thanks.
There's not someone called Ryan.
Ryan, who works at the Vic Public House, is there?
Ryan.
Ryan.
Like Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling?
Let me check.
Okay.
All right.
There definitely was a Ryan Gosling, for sure.
No, it doesn't have to be him, but...
No, I mean, if he's there, we definitely would like to talk to him, though.
I don't have a Ryan.
No Ryan.
Okay, no Ryan's.
Yeah, unfortunately.
If there was a Ryan and he'd answered the phone, Sandra,
he would have won $2,450 cash this afternoon.
Just by having the name Ryan.
Well, my second name, as it turns out, it is Ryan.
Oh my God, is this Sandra Ryan Gosling?
That was good from you, Sandra.
That was good.
Hey, can you hold the phone?
We've got a little consolation prize for you, Sandra.
That's funny stuff.
You hold that.
She wants the money.
She's not going anywhere.
Yeah, you hold the line.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, thank you, Sandra.
I was quick from Sandra.
I almost bought that, too.
Yeah.
It could have been.
Family name.
That's crazy.
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah, I wouldn't do it to put him on the phone.
Ryan Gosling from Nelson.
I heard he pours a crappy pint.
Oh yeah.
It's all head.
And he can do a Guinness, but real badly.
Yeah.
Can't split the G.
No head.
No head.
No head on his Guinness.
The Goss is not splitting the G.
But he has shops every night.
Shouts the whole customer.
Anyone else want to get any more jokes
Anyone wants to do before we wrap this up?
I'm good
I think that's it
Alright next Brie has a mystery break for us
Oh yes there's someone on the team
That I found out recently
Doesn't know how to do a really basic life skill
Is it me? Because I've already admitted to not being able to cook
No it's not that
But I'll tell you what it is next
Okay
One of my favourite things about doing this job
is that our little team, the Brian Clint show,
you and me, Clint, producer Claude, producer Ella,
we're a tight-knit fan.
Oh, yeah.
You know, we know a lot about each other.
We spend a lot of time together.
We do, we're up on each other's grill
for about six hours, seven hours every day.
We spend more time with each other than our partners.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's how I like it.
Me too.
But rather it that way.
It's the secret to a successful marriage.
I feel like we just know so much about each other.
do it at this stage, yeah.
But there was something I learned about
someone in the team, and this is a few
weeks ago, like before I went away
on my secret missions,
I learned this about someone in the team
and it hasn't left my mind
because it blew my mind
so much. Right.
And the thing that I
learned was that someone
in our team, in the Brie and Clint
show, doesn't
know how to do sarcasm.
Oh.
Interesting, right?
And I see your face where you're like, how?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, it's definitely me that doesn't know how to do psychics.
Oh, yeah, well, you think it's me?
It's definitely me.
I bet it's not Ella.
100% not Ella.
Oh, no.
What say you, producer Ella?
Definitely not me.
No, that's not it.
I can't do it.
You're right, dude.
I had discovered this about myself a couple months ago.
The other day, a couple of weeks.
No.
We were trying to teach her, like, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't understand the concept.
No, I get the concept.
No, you get the concept, but you couldn't execute.
Does she get the concept?
Could you explain the concept of sarcasm to us?
Oh, here we go.
It more comes off the cuff.
You can't, like, make it up, like a joke, like a stand-up.
And it's more like a dig where you say something that's like the opposite.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
I believe you understand the concept.
So you're pretty much, it's the way you say it, which is sarcastic.
That makes it sarcastic.
Because if you don't use the right inflection, then it's not sarcasm.
So let's test it.
Let's give Ella something to say and you'll say it normally.
And then we want you to say it with sarcasm.
I'm going to give you a question, okay?
This is really easy.
I need you to respond with sarcasm.
Okay.
Is that good?
Oh, okay.
Ella, have you had a good day today?
Yeah.
Oh, am I meant to do sarcasm?
Yes.
Okay, say it again.
Ella, have you had a good day today?
Been really good.
No, I don't know.
Okay.
How else can we test this?
So I reckon she should try and do sarcasm.
That's mocking us being like, oh, yeah, like I really don't know how to do sarcasm,
guys.
Oh, it's so hard.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, so Ella, tell us sarcastically that you do know sarcasm.
You would like that, wouldn't you?
No?
No.
Okay.
I also don't know when it's happening when other people do it.
I like struggle to get it.
I love you so.
It makes me love you so much more.
You'll come into work and someone and go, wow, nice,
and you'll go, my God, thanks. Thanks.
Thank you so much. And you know what, Ella, I think it's better to live
how you're living. Thank you. You know? I got one.
That's, okay, yeah.
Nice hat, Clint.
Is that good? That's still not. That was just, that was just, that was just,
that was just mean. That was just plainly mean. That was just blatantly mean.
No, this is just a bit. Good hat. That was, that was really bad, wasn't it?
No. See, what I made, she doesn't, she can't do it. It's quite bamboozling, how bad she is
at it. And then it confuses my
Like listening to her try and do it
I love you
It's very cute
They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit
So maybe
Maybe
Ella is the smartest one of all of us
Oh yeah she's definitely the smartest
Yes Claudia
She's got such a high IQ
Thanks guys
ZDN's Brinclint
All I want from my birthday is a birthday banger.
Do your birthday bangers for a Tuesday.
Number one song when you turn 16.
We'll start with Mad, Mad, Mad, Maddie.
Good afternoon, Maddie.
Hi, Maddie.
Hey, how are you?
Good maid.
How's your day been?
It's great.
How about you?
Yes, good, thank you, Maddie.
Hey, all we need is your birthday, Maddie.
My birthday is the 11th of July, 1994.
All right.
That means you were 16 in the year 2010.
We've done our calculations, and this was number one.
Oh, it's a bop from Katie Perry.
It's got to be Katie Perry's biggest song at the time.
Huge.
Not bad.
I like it, Maddie.
I've got my seven-year-old boy here, and it's his first time on the radio,
and he's super excited.
We're getting a big thumbs up from Lakin here.
Pop Lakin on.
Can we talk to Lakin?
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi, Lakin.
How are you going?
Good.
Do you like Mum's birthday banger?
Do you like that Katie Perry song?
Yeah.
Do you reckon we should vote for it to win?
Yeah.
Or it's in with a shot.
We'll take that into account.
Hold there, guys.
We've got to do a birthday banger for Karen.
Hi, Karen.
Hello.
What have you been doing today, Karen?
Oh, I'm just sitting in traffic, or actually to the side of traffic
because I've been at cricket training with my son.
Oh, is he a better or a bowler?
More of a bowler
More of a bowler
Love it
We love to see it
Hey Caz
What's your birthday?
26 of August
1983
Alright that means you were 16
in 1999
And on that day
This had number one hit
Oh yes
The boys are back together
And touring as well
That's five
And if you're getting down
Do you like it Karen?
Love it.
You know what?
You've just revealed something to me about parenting that I never realized.
Like, I always had sympathy for the parents of cricket kids.
And on the Saturdays and sitting there for so long at the cricket games.
I never thought that you had to sit there through training as well, Karen.
And in the rain.
Oh, Karen.
Yeah.
Oh, well, only 12 years to go, Karen.
You know there's indoor sports, Karen?
Yeah, well, it was training inside.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Still.
Could be at home on the couch, you know.
How long does a cricket game go, like a kid's cricket game?
How many overs do they play, Karen?
I've got two sons.
First son plays 20 overs in the morning.
And then my other son plays a 30-over game.
Karen!
You got both of them in there!
You're doing 100 overs of cricket every weekend.

tomorrow. The ZD.M. Podcast
Network. Had this clip
come up in my feed today from
the diary of a CEO
podcast, which is
Steve Bartlett. Do you know Diary of a CEO?
I've seen it. One of the biggest podcasts
on the planet.
Last week or the week before
he had Kamala Harris.
Did he? Her first
proper podcast
interview. No, she did
call her daddy. Oh, did she?
Yeah, when she was running for...
No, no, since losing.
Oh, gotcha. Yeah. Her first big one since losing.
Okay.
And I got halfway through it
and it's very long, you know?
long? Like an hour and a half.
I thought you were about to say, 20 minutes.
No, no, no, it's a big one.
Anyway, it's not about that. I saw this clip come up today where Stephen Bartlett is talking to
a CEO of a company.
Okay.
She's a female CEO.
I don't know her.
You might.
Her name is Natalie Dawson.
She talks about how she fires people from her company if she finds out that they are cheating
on their partner.
Take a listen to this.
publicly shared a TikTok about firing somebody because I found out that she was cheating on her significant other and the other person also had a significant other and as soon as I found out about it, I terminated both of them immediately. I can't have this in my environment, especially somebody close around me. People trust me and should trust any leader to help them mate their success easy. One would say that's none of your business, what they're doing. It happened to be around work. But if it wasn't at work, you still wouldn't even if it was, I would fire the person immediately. So you'd fire someone for cheating? That person.
person is a liability to the environment.
I don't consider that to be my business.
Oh, it's absolutely my business.
That's controversial.
Yes, disgust.
How do we feel about that?
Do you think it's appropriate?
Like, for example, let's talk about it in our space.
If Ross Boss found out that Ella was cheating on her new husband, should Ross Boss, if he could,
he can't in New Zealand legally, but if he could, should he fire Ella?
No.
I don't think so.
No?
No.
Thank you.
I mean, if Ella, if Ella was a priest, maybe.
Yeah, I'd be like that is a fireable offence if you're a priest.
Unlike the industry you work in, it would depend.
Depends on the job.
Yeah.
If Ella's job was not cheating on her husband.
Then yes.
And then we found out she was cheating on her husband.
God, how do I get that job?
How much do I get paid?
I'm already doing that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're cheating?
Oh, I'm not.
She's not cheating and she's not getting anything out of it.
Yeah, so if I can do it as a...
If I can do it as a job, and I'd love that.
I obviously agree.
I just find it an interesting topic.
I don't think that your personal life
should have anything to do with your professional life
and so long as you're not breaking the law.
Unless you are cheating, well, this is one circumstance where I...
What if you're cheating?
on your significant other with someone that you work with.
So that's what was happening in this example.
Okay.
So the person in this example was cheating with someone else at work.
The two people worked in the company.
Both of the people that were in the, that were doing the cheating.
We're at the company.
We're at the company and they both had partners outside of the company.
Got it.
But that woman said that she would have fired them regardless of whether it
involved cheating with a co-worker or not.
She would have fired them on the basis of being
a cheater. Okay. See, I think that
does change it a little bit.
It does. Because it creates...
Well, you can lose your job in New Zealand
if the company says that you can't
have relations with people
at the work. Yeah, but it's also just like
drama and chaos you don't really
want in your work environment.
Yeah. And what if one of the
cheaters is like a boss
or a manager within
the relationship? The power and balance.
Power and balance.
Yeah, so that's a whole different.
That would not be good.
I'm thinking, what is the saying?
Don't shit where you eat.
Don't chit.
And I have a lot of shit that work.
And guess where I have lunch, guys, right here at work.
Shit and clap, baby.
Claudia, you've been very quiet in this conversation.
You either, you either think that you should be fired for cheating or you're a cheater.
Which one is it?
open to anything. I'm very single.
Claudia's not saying much.
A chance would be nice.
Just any opportunity at all.
Text us your thoughts, 9696.
Also text us if you'd like to cheat on your partner with Claudia.
It's ZAM's Bree and Clint Podcast.
We're not going to delve back into it because it's too deep.
Maybe we could go into it tomorrow.
But can I just say the majority of the text we've received on the should you get fired for being
a cheater, the majority of the texts say, yeah, you should get fired for it.
Yeah.
Which is wild.
Which is quite interesting because you and I were kind of like, you probably shouldn't
get, you're not getting fired for that.
Yeah.
I was definitely, and you and I were both considering cheating on our partners.
Yeah, I know.
And now I'm like, oh, I can't lose my child.
Now I'm like, oh, I've got a mortgage to pay.
Maybe I won't.
So thanks for that, guys.
Yeah, thank you guys.
Hey, something about me from my childhood, a very, very important.
movie, one of my all-time favorite movies growing up was...
Pocahontas.
Close.
101 Dalmatians.
Okay.
It was one of my all-time favorite films.
Yeah.
Which is why I feel like when I think about a villain character...
Oh, she's right up there.
Cruella DeVille, for me, is...
She wanted to murder innocent dogs and turn them into a coach.
She's one of the most ultimate villains.
She's up there with Ursula from The Little Mermaid for me.
For sure, for sure.
And if you've ever watched, not the cartoon version,
but the real version of 101 Dalmatians,
Glenn Close plays Cruella DeVille.
And it was a performance for the ages.
Like, I feel like she bought that character to life even more.
And I saw this clip of her where,
because she has the iconic Cruella DeVille laugh.
And I saw this clip of Glenn Clow.
close recently, seeing if she could still do it.
Do you want to hear?
Yeah.
Take a listen.
Can you still do the Cruella laugh?
Yes.
You want to do it right now?
I mean, yeah.
Boy, yes.
I'm on camera.
I need it.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Every homosexuals, very happy about that.
Iconic.
I thought we could all give it a go.
Sure.
This afternoon.
God, this is good.
It's so.
It's got the rasp of a smoker in there, and Cuella Deville did smoke.
Remember, she had the long cigarettes that she smoked?
It sounds like a villain.
Ella, are you ready?
No.
Step up to the plate with those blonde eyebrows.
You've been wanting us to do theatre sports for a while.
Not this one. Here it comes.
You just got the 101st dog.
Got him.
She's not even trying.
That was good.
And she doesn't get a second chance.
Claudia.
Okay.
You ready?
I hope so.
Do it for the homosexuals.
Come on, Claude.
Not bad.
Mine was better.
No, that was better than yours.
Yeah, Claudia took it up a notch.
Took it up a notch for sure.
Okay, I'll go next.
Can we hear it one more time if people...
Oh, you're a bit of inspo, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just the laugh.
Yeah.
Do we have Just the Laugh, Claudia?
Nope.
Oh, bugger.
No.
I can find it for you here.
And you still...
Ha.
Okay, I'm ready.
Come on.
Come on.
Ah.
Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Very good.
That was good.
Nice.
Okay.
I kind of see it now.
That's good.
I like that.
It was a good.
It was good.
slightly scared, which is what you want.
I thought you actually stole the dog.
Okay, over to you, Bree.
The last one.
We want your best correlative to laugh.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
So silly.
Very good.
It's quite deranged that one now.
Well done.
It's quite fun.
Should we all go steal a bunch of Dalmatians?
Yeah, let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
Yeah, let's go skin some dogs.
