Episode Date: August 19, 2025

Did your parents tell you you were great at something?  Taskmaster Jeremy Wells joins us to chat the new season (which features Bree (his fave contestant!).  Producers Claud and Ella have a surprise for Bree and Clint.  TikTok star Christian Hull spent HOW MUCH without knowing??  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Show requested, so here it is. As long as you've got that, da, da, da. It's ZDEM's Breanclint podcast. Go, let's go. I think I met you in a dream last month. Zedems, Breanclent. Back now he said me, they were green. Afternoon, everybody.

Welcome to the Brea and Clint show. Welcome, guys. Sorry, we're getting distracted by Jeremy Wells. That's not the first time a woman has said that. It happens a lot. He's just hanging out in the studio. Yeah. What's he doing here?

I don't know. He hasn't said anything. He just kind of just... He just kind of sits there and smolders. No one's going to believe us that he's here. But, Ella, can you get a video to prove that he's actually... He's making us look stupid. He's just sitting there and not saying anything.

Does he know how radio works? Is he done radio before? I think he is. Is this the first break of the day? There he is. Is this the first break of the day? Is this what Hillary Barry's dressing room is like? Just Jeremy Wells hanging out in the corner.

Do I get press the buttons on Trady versus Lady? Yeah, mate. You can, you can, you can. You can play for the tradies. Or the ladies. All the ladies. I'd be happy. Either all.

Why not? It's Jeremy Wells' favourite segment. I love that segment. Tradie versus lady. I know that at the moment the ladies are up. What is it? 6960 or something. God, you're not far off, 69 to 63.

Yeah, I'm up with it. The lady's got their big 69 yesterday. It was momentous. Well, there was a guy the other day who called up and he was trying to be a tradie, but he was a young man and you thought he was a lady, but he's actually a guy. You missed this. Yeah, we put him live to air and we said, welcome our lady Connor or whatever his name was. And he goes, I'm not a lady.

He was a tradie. Hey. I'm betraying my own kind. You're welcome to play for whoever. He did it well, though. We don't mind. Yeah, yeah. And that's what we're going to kick the show up with, actually.

If you'd like to compete in Trady versus Lady, we have two spots available right now. Unless Jeremy Wells takes one of them. But I think he's got to go. You've got places to be, don't you? Yeah. It's got things to do. He works two jobs, this guy. Well, three jobs.

Three's. You count the Taskmaster, which you definitely count. Yeah, we do count that. We'll talk Taskmaster with Jeremy later on in the show today. Play ZDEM's Bree and Clint. It's time for Trady versus Lady. It's Trady versus Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

Right, here we go. Let's kick into gear with Trady versus Lady. The Trady's on 63. The ladies on 69. Our lady is calling from Taranaki, she's 25, and her and her hubby own a 63 Cadillac. Welcome to the show, Violet. Hi, Violet. That is a bit cool.

When did you guys purchase that? About five years ago. Okay, and did you purchase it all done up, or have you done bits and bobs to it? We have done absolutely nothing to it. Perfect. But it's all original. I love that. That's what you want.

Otherwise, you'll never get it out there, you know? Yeah. We'll be a get-around to it type thing. Fun, you're taking on our trainee from Dunedin. He's 27th, and he once shot himself with a nail gun. Welcome to the show, Matt. Matt. Dare I ask where you shot yourself?

Went to my thumb. Ooh. That's nasty. Not on purpose, I hope. Like, not for a deer. Excellent, but yeah. Did it go through the bone? No, luckily it didn't.

I had to go to hospital and get next row. God, you were lucky. God, you would have known how Jesus felt. Yeah. All right, Matt, your buzzer is Trady. Violet, your buzzer is Lady. The first to three correct answers will win $50 cash from KFC. Here we go, question number one.

What does the P stand for on the gear shift of an automatic car? Matt. Matt? Park. It is, of course, Park. He's away in flying. One to the Trades. Number two. What country is Kylie Minogue from?

Lady. Violet's in. Australia? Australia with a question mark is correct. Some would think she's from the UK because they love her so much. But no, she is an Aussie. Got her start on neighbours, actually. Back in the day.

One a piece. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Violet. it. George Esra. Well done. It is George Esra. Two to the ladies, one to the tradies.

Question number four. Which Williams sister has won the most Grand Slam titles? Ready. Yes, Matt. Serena. Serena. It is, of course, Serena. She's won 23.

And Venus has won seven. God, slack from Venus. Which is crazy to think. Only seven. That's slack, but seven is a wild amount to win. When you put it next to Serena, it's crazy. Question number five, this is the tiebreaker. What three colors would you find in a classic traffic light drink?

Lady. Violet for the win? Reed, orange and green. She's got it. She's a lady. Oh, whoa, she's a lady. The ladies break the 70 barrier for the first time this year. Congratulations, Violet.

$50 cash coming you away. Thank you. Very, very well played. Good game from both. And sorry you couldn't pull that off. Matt, stay off the nail gun, okay? Yeah, we'll do. Yeah, sweet.

Close game. Very close. ZD.M's Bree and Clint Podcast. There's a brand new season of Taskmaster. It was out last night. It's on again tonight, isn't it? It is on again tonight, TV and Z2. We've got the Taskmaster himself in studio, Jeremy Wells.

Hello, sir. How are you? I feel like I should curtsy or something. That's good. good that you still feel that way towards me. I do. You're the all-powerful taskmaster. Would you say all-powerful or would you say just sort of sitting there in a suit looking fancy but not really? I don't know. You hold it well. It's this sort of weird authoritarian kind of...

You definitely do. I can see it being some people's kink, you know? Yeah. I feel like, you know, what you say goes and that's what gains respect. Like I learned very early on, first episode, once you give out the scores, There's no turning it around. You have to just accept what the Taskmaster says. See, this is what makes Brie a great broadcaster. She learns very quickly. And no, you're dead right.

Because otherwise you sit there arguing over points the whole time. And it's like, okay, well, we could all sit here and argue with the points. But firstly, it won't make the cut. No. And so you won't see it on the television program. So we're just wasting your time, my time, the audience is time, everyone else's time, the editor's time. There was a lot of wasting time. It's pathetic because, like you said at the time,

start of this new season, it doesn't matter. Like, these points don't matter. No. Well, weirdly enough, though, Clint, I actually do matter because the first year I didn't, I kind of thought, oh, yeah, I'll just, I'll just judge some things as I can't, on vibe on the day. Sure. And then I'm told, I didn't read about it, but I'm told by the people that I got absolutely

destroyed by Taskmaster fans around the world. Yeah, right. They're diehards, aren't they? Oh, just my, me, but playing, playing loose with the points. And it's like, mate, this guy's taking it seriously? Who the hell does this guy think he is? All these people are doing these tasks and he couldn't even judge it properly. So in the seconds, he's like, oh, hold on, I actually need to really put some effort into this and judge it properly.

I said it at the start, I'll say it again, pathetic. Yeah, well, you know. Well, I mean, I kind of understand it. You've got to at least have a reason why you're going to say what you're going to say. Yeah, yeah. And so. And that's what I respected about you. You always backed it up with a reason.

or you just simply said what our parents have always said to us because I said so. Yeah, yeah. Or try harder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, Bree took every decision well, I have to say, of all the cast members, you know, my favorite, my favorite cast member. And everything that I said to, everything I said to Bree, she was like,

it's almost like she took on his drive and thought, you know what, I'm going to take that on board and do better next time. The thing was it was all recorded, so you couldn't. You know, we'd already recorded. I'm glad you say that Brie's your favourite because I'm going to ask you the same question we asked Jack Anset yesterday Who's your least favourite member of the cast this season?

Jack Anset Funny, he said you Did he? That's funny, isn't it? He got quite aggressive towards you a few times, didn't he? Well, it's that generation, isn't it? Yeah, they just expect everything.

He's, you know, he's 22, he's making his way in the media. This is very important to Jack Anset. I know. Yeah. He's just, he has to, hasn't been knocked down enough, you know? It's not like, man, I've had so many knocks over the years.

You just, you get thicker skin, whereas he's got very thick, that generation, very thin skin. They never got strapped at school, you know? They hardly got a detention. Yeah, I think we should, we should bring some of that back, you know, the cane back at school. I agree, I think we should whip Jack Anset. I think you're absolutely right.

All right, bring him in. You just tell kids that just, they never, they never got a little tap on. a bum when they were younger. He never got one. We have a challenge for you, Taskmaster, this afternoon. Your own task, per se. Have you heard of the game sitting or standing?

No. We're going to call somebody, and you have to guess before they aren't, whether they're sitting or standing. Very simple game. You have a choice between Jackie Van Beak from this season of Taskmaster. You want to kick it off with Jackie Van Beak?

Or your least favorite member of the cast, Jack Anset. Let's call Jackie Van Beak. Okay. Okay. We're going to place the call through to Jackie Van Beak now. We need to know from here. Sitting or standing. Okay, so I just need to work out whether Jackie's sitting or standing straight away. You know, you tell us now.

Straight away, lock it in. Oh, I have to lock it in before she answers. Jackie Van Beak will be standing. Standing. Okay. I feel like that's a good decision. She's a standing type of woman. She got a lot of energy.

Yes, she does. She does. Fidgety. Hello. Jackie Van Beak. Hello. How are you? Guess who I've got on the line.

Oh, God. Jeremy Wells, Jack Ansex, Justinda Adirn. I mean, you had it in one. All of the Jays. All three of them. We have the taskmaster, Jeremy Wales, standing by. He can't talk to you until we know one piece of information from you, Jackie Van Beak.

Are you currently sitting or standing? I am standing staring out a window. Whoa! I knew you'd be standing, Jackie Van he's good. Man, he's good. You are a stander from way back. God. Oh, yeah.

I rarely say, like the studio shows very hard to me. And just strap her into the chair. I can imagine that. Okay, well that's all we need you for. Jackie. Thanks, Jackie. Okay, thanks guys.

See you, Jackie. Okay, bye-bye. Episode two of the brand new season of Taskmaster is on tonight on TVNZ2 at 730. It's on TVNZ Plus. Jeremy Wells, great to see you. Thanks so much. Thanks for having me.

Thank you, Taskmaster. Pleasure. Dead is Franklin. What age your parents should start being honest. with you about your capabilities. I think from the get-go. Nah, there's got a bit, nah. Yeah, knock them down from the start.

There's definitely a line and there's definitely an age and there's definitely a point at which telling your kids that they're really, really, really good at something becomes detrimental to them long term, I feel. Yeah, because they start to believe it. And a good example of that is our producer Ella. Hi, Ella. Hello.

Oh, no. What did your, what's your mum told you that you were good at? I have just found this out now for context. You found this out now, like recently. My whole world's changed. Ella's 24 and you've just realised your mum was lying to you about... Netball. Apparently, growing up, I thought I was amazing at Neatball.

I thought I could be a silver fern if I tried. Don't you laugh. I thought I'm a good, I'm short, but I was a good defense. You know, like I'll do it now with Claude. She was definitely a WD. Did you see that defense? Amazing. It's the world's lowest defense that I've ever seen.

Well, I'm pretty good at it. What were you playing netball with ants? No. Anyway, so we're watching my sister's netball game. She's in a club team. And we're with my mom and my, well, her boyfriend. Her boyfriend, who's new to the family, goes, did you ever play netball ella?

And I go, yes, I was. I was pretty good. I'm quite a talented netball player. I don't play it now, though. And mom starts laughing. Could have been a silver third. Yep, I could have. I could have made it.

I could have went all the way, played for the country. Yeah, honestly, what could have been? But mom started laughing, and I go, hey, no, you said I could have been Temapara George. Yeah, yeah. That's a big deal. And I was like, like, as a, as a six-year-old, she called me her little Temapara George. As a 10-year-old, my little Timapara George. And I was like, oh, my mom's so nice.

Turns out, she started laughing. She goes, oh, sweetie, you weren't actually that good. So. Mum's picked the shortest silver fern she could think of in Temapara George. And I think she's genuinely tried to build you up to keep you in the sport, you know. Did you ever wonder why your career in netball ended at a certain point though? Yes. Like did you ever realise you were like, okay, this is...

Yeah, why aren't they picking the young Timapara George? Yeah. Yeah, because I started catching the ball with my face. I mean, not traditional, but... So, what conventional? So the age that your mum has decided to be honest with you, 24. 20 freaking four. Yeah.

I'm not okay. I do think I need to process it for a few more business days. I think if you had said to her, you know, when they go, when your parents say to you, what do you want to do when you leave school? If you had said, obviously I'm going to pursue netball as a career, I think that she would have needed to be honest with you then. But if it was not going to impact your career opportunities, she could let you live with it. Well, it doesn't matter. No, but that's awkward.

What if she, like, went around to all of her friends? and she was like, I'm a bloody good netball player, blah, blah, blah. And then at a certain point, she has to fill in for a mixed netball team. And everyone goes, your shit. This happened. I tried it for a club team with my sister. And it was a disaster and I didn't get picked. It's like if you have a child and they say that they want to be a Hollywood star,

they want to be an actor and they're going to pursue their career. And you know, you know, objectively, they can't act to save themselves. Do you have a responsibility, to be honest, that card. It's like what your parents have done to you when it comes to musicals, you know? Wait, did you do musicals? Where do you think he's got that unwarranted confidence that he's good in musical? All parents do it. I feel like

my parents always tried to instill in me that I was really good at maths and at a certain point in high school I realised when they had to put me in the certain class. I'm not going to say what type of math class. Cabbage maths. Maybe the one up from that. Yeah, right. But it was, you know, it was the base.

basic maths. I was like, they've lied to me. Wow, one up from cabbage maths. Lucky you appreciated that. Hey. Is that what you thought of it? According to me, if you do the math, better than the one below. ZD.N's brain cleanse. We've been told there's a surprise for us, courtesy of our producers, Ella and Claudia.

They're very excited about this. I'm nervous now. I'm nervous. They're grinning like chisha cats. It's fun when you're behind like a little secret. It's a real quite fun. It's a real trust. from us, Brey.

Yeah, we don't normally let this happen. It's a gift. It's a gift. It's a good. It's a gift from us to you. It was your seven-year anniversary a month ago. A little bit late. But like it's tradition to be a little bit late. It is tradition. So this is for your seven-year anniversary. Something to surprise you with.

It's a song, as you can tell. Brie writes one every year, but we figure, Brie never gets one. So this is a gift to both of you together. Fun. It was a team effort from the ZDM office. Yeah, the ZM office. If you hate it, it was Ross's idea. Okay.

He did the lyrics. And if you love it, it was ours. Okay. Here it is, everyone. There comes a time when you should just withdraw. When your hopes of winning are done. You are always crying. It's time to get a grip.

Awards. You want a call. We can't go on. Pretending day by day. There's some year you'll beat Dunkin'J. You're both a part of radio's big family. You know a watch just out for Brie and Clint You are the worst

You are the losers Seven years on the radio And still not winning And there's a choice you're making You're pooing in the sea That's why you don't win the trophy Well, Fletchhorn and Haley Keep winning every year

And they even Gave one to intern Pigtzy As the judges have shown us But I choose the mammothead Thursday banners slash A Friday old he never left You're the worst You're the losers

Seven years on the radio And still not winning And there's a choice you're making Like who win in the sea That's why you don't win the trophy while you try putting your ass on television and getting glasses to make yourself look smart well realize

all that your best isn't enough and you get more attention by filming our thoughts You are the worst You're actually awesome You are the Luther I'm rigged anyway Seven years on the radio And still not winning

Don't let awards be your validation There's the choice you're making To kick it in that day We love you We're sorry crazy Yeah My head hurts from smiling. I'm tearing up.

There was a lot. I was so... Wow. That was beautiful. Yeah? That's a solid roast. That is a solid roast. Someone on the text machine just said...

Just turned on the radio. What the hell is going on? Magic, baby. Someone said, put that song in rotation. Yes, okay, seven years, no awards. Not a single award for the Bri and Clint show. Seven years. Not a one.

Even for a promo. You know what's going to be ironic if we end up winning an award for that? Oh, that would be incredible. That would be very ironic. You're welcome. No, we love you. Happy seven years. Don't you dare try to make up for it now.

Don't you dare? No, I just want to say thank you, Dev. We're involved in that. I heard a lot of voices from the ZM office. People that I have heard them say, I will never sing ever on your show. and they obviously put themselves out there and we can see why you said you would never see. But you know what?

It's the thought that counts and I loved it. Very good. It had very, what is it, Band-Aid. It's, what is it? USA for Africa, baby. Is that what it is? Yeah, that. It had those vibes for sure.

We'll take it. Z-N's brain and cleanse. A little while ago we spoke to Rupol's Drag Race winner, Spanky Jackson, who was selling her sceptre that she won from the show. Yeah, fallen on hard times. Fallen on hard times to pretty much pay for her drug problem. Ah, no. It wasn't for that.

It was for a good reason. I'm creating the Jackson Effect, which is a multi-use creative space for me to inspire other people and give local people a chance or smaller artists a place with no fees that they can perform, artists, jamborees and all sorts of other things.

And I just want to give back to the community. So sometimes you're going to let something that you love free to, you know, do something better for the world. And you wouldn't believe this, Clint. The SEPTA has sold, and we've tracked down the crazy buyer who purchased it. Please welcome to the studio, Christian Hull. Yay! Yay!

I have no money! I have no money! Glob-trotting Sipter buying Superfan? Yeah. Oh, it's shiny, it's sparkly, and it's from Spanky Jackson, and I had to have it. And it was for such a beautiful call. and Spanky is a friend of mine. I mean, sure, I've only met Spanky for 45 minutes,

but I call her my best mate. Yeah. Now, you're an Aussie, you make content, and you've been doing this series where you purchase things without looking at the price tag, correct? Yeah, so for those that don't know me, I've got my fame guessing paint colours in 2020.

Don't ask questions. And I'm asked a following on TikTok, and that has made me a decent amount of money. And now I just go into shops, and I go, like Michael Jackson, Remember that documentary? Yes. Maybe don't compare myself to my production.

But he walks in a few points to those objects and he doesn't ask the price. That was the doco that bought them down. Do you remember? Yeah, I'm really glad I brought that up. Yeah. Anyways, I've started doing that. So I bought some cushions recently. Okay.

I didn't look at the price. How much were the cushions? $300. $300.00 cushions. Yep. But are they nice cushions? Oh, they're gorgeous. Yeah, who cares them?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell us about the chair. How much is the chair? I bought a peacock chair. Yes. $1,600. I didn't like... Is there a number that if you took it up to buy it

because obviously you don't look at the price, if you took it up to buy it and they gave you a number that you would say actually no. No, they don't even give him a number before he buys it. I just have a card, take the receipt home and then go, how much do I spend? What is your credit card limit? That's high.

Wow. You've got a problem. We are absolutely dying to know how much you paid for Spanky Jackson's Scepter from winning Rupall's drag race. Everyone take a deep breath. First of all, do you know, how much you paid or are you finding out when you collect it? No, I've paid for it and I

checked the statement. So I do know that I spent $5,000. Oh! Plus flights? To get here and collect it? I didn't spend $5,000. What? Play the drum roll. What? Play the drum roll.

Where you spent... Seven and a half thousand. Oh my God! My God! Stop! Stop! Stop! Guys, sit down, play the drum roll. Didn't spend seven and a half thousand. I actually spent 10,000. That's 10 grand.

It's for a good cause. It's for a good cause. It's a tax write-off because I'm here. I'm doing work while I'm here. It's tax. Yep, you know, I love Spanky Jackson. And if mum's listening, I'm so sorry. Oh, my God.

I feel sick. What are you going to do with it? I mean, there's only one thing you can do is hold it. Yeah. It's a sparkly sept. What else am I going to do? But I sit on my peacock chair with my strawberry cushions and hold my acceptor. What's that? $15,000 worth of stuff that I've got to surround it. Are you medicated?

No, I'm unmedicated. That's why. Obviously. Yes. Good cause. Guys, it's for a good cause. Yay. Yay. That's such a good decision. All right. Round it up. Let's go to a song. Let's not think about it. When we talk to Spanky about selling this, I was like, I don't know how much they're going to get for it. I don't know what the market is. We found the market. Tell me, honestly, when you found out how much you had spent because you didn't know. What was your first thought? Hold on. I'll just stand up.

Okay. Oh, fuck. It's for a good cause. It's for a good cause. I don't think you can air any of that. Oh my God. Good cause. And I love Spanish.

Yeah, it's a great cause. A Palmer's a North is now a community centre. Exactly. Our country's in recession. We're looking for financial backers to come and invest in the country. Oh, well, that's what I've done. I'm a venture capitalist, I guess. Yeah, yeah, you are.

Do you want some property while you're here? Oh, I kind of do. Is it's expensive to buy? Buy a house next. And you don't know the price. You don't know the price. Send me a link to one. Let us know when that happens.

An apartment. Yeah. The new owner of the $10,000 scepter from RuPaul's drag race. Don't need to mention the price. Okay, just the very reasonably priced. Great deal. A bargain. Highly useful item.

Wasting money if you didn't buy it. Christian Hall. Wasting money. Good to see you. Jesus. Does anyone want to buy a septor? Can we option? Dead Am's Bree and Clint podcast.

Do you ever think about the fact that at one point, your name was original and the only time it was used in history? No, I don't, no. You know that it was so weird when for the first time someone would have called their baby Clint and everyone would have went, what the hell? What the hell? What the hell is a Clint? That's a weird name. Yeah, yeah. And I guess that's true for everyone except for the people that have the real bog standard biblical names, your Marx, your Luke.

your John's, your Matthews, your Matthews, your Davids. Your Sheryls. What are the girl biblical names? Mary, Mary. Mary's one. Yeah. Any other woman in the Bible? Pamela.

Oh, you're Pamela. She's definitely in there. And Letitia. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that was a big one. And Latresia. Latresia of Babylon. Yep.

That's right. I asked the question because I came across this video of this woman who is copying some heat online for what she's called her son. Okay. And she had the argument that at one point, you know, every name was original and unique and unusual. And strange, yeah. And strange.

I'm going to play you this piece of audio. She doesn't say what she's named her son, but I want you to listen to this and then you can have a guess at what she's named her son. Have a listen. The name bear. When someone first called their child bear, people would have been like that is so odd that's like calling your child buffalo or kangaroo or something but i love the name bear it's become so common that it's seen as normal now it was definitely a time where that name was seen

as like unusual because it was uncommon okay she's given the example of the name beer yeah of the name can i just go to the low hanging fruit has she called her kid kangaroo no platypus i mean platypus great name it's strong is it an animal name yes it is i'm gonna say it's not wolf because there's a few famous wolves out there now. Pretty common name. But it wasn't. But it wasn't at one point. No, but every name wasn't at one point.

Yeah, I know, I know. But Wolf's quite common, I would argue now. Otter. Has she gone with otter? No. Because Otto exists. I've never met an otter. Have you ever met a hawk?

No. Hawk? But I feel like, I think let's bring in hawk. And the pantheon of modern names, I feel like hawk isn't that outrageous. No. Giraff. Nah. There'll be a panda out there, weren't there?

There'd be a little baby panda. I'm sure there would be. Yeah, there was that singer. A little Chinese baby. Oh, no, they did the song, panda. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, this woman has... Horse, horse.

Little baby horse. A little horsey. Yeah. When it's a baby, they call him pony. She's named her son, Grizzly. Oh, okay. Yeah. So you can see how it's...

Grisly bear. Similar to her to bear. Grizzly bear. But she's like at one point, you know, no one was naming their kids bear. There's a very famous former coach of the All Blacks whose nickname was Grizz. Okay. And that's as close as we get. I feel like you're asking for trouble.

Yeah, I think it was more like gris because he was grizzled. I feel like grizzly I like more than gris for obvious reasons. Oh, gris too close to. Yeah, too close to things that you don't really want to be. close to. Grizzly, I would never name Mike hit it, but I don't hate it as a name.

It's interesting. It's definitely unique and original. Maybe in 10 years, it won't be though. And here's my question, Clint. I want to hear from the people this afternoon that had names that were originally

original. Yeah. So at the time, it was out there. It was out there. It was unique. and unusual, but these days, not as unusual. Run of the mill. Yeah, yeah, very normal. Originally, original.

There's now a kindergarten full of children bearing your name. Yeah, rainbow. Piston. Piston. Piston. Your dad, Clint, has got an interesting name. No, he's got a made-up name. Or is that still not popular?

I don't know if I would say that's mainstream. There are five or six people with his name. Ever? And they're all in our family. What's it again? Aeson. Aeson. Yeah.

Like Jason, but no J. With an A.J. Aeson. Yeah, his doesn't count. Well, I guess it does. Yeah, originally, original. Yeah, but it's, no, but originally it was original. Oh, yeah, but now it's mainstream.

Yeah, yeah, true, true, true, true, true, true, true. Because I never gave it to my kids. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You, it was lost with you. I broke the generational curse. The ZM Podcast Network. We're asking you an interesting question.

Was your name originally original? So when you got it, it was pretty out there as a name. There was no one else around with that name. But over time, it has become common. You were at the cutting edge of names when you were named. And to be at the cutting edge is tough because it will come with a little bit of, oh, why would you go with that name? I feel like a name that would fit the bill would be like Arrow.

Arrow. You know, like probably more recently, like has become a lot more common. Do you reckon? Yeah, I haven't met too many arrows. How many arrows have you met? I've met quite a lot of darts, but not arrows. I think Lisa has a perfect example of this. Hi, Lisa.

Hi, Lisa. Hello, hi. What's your originally original name, Lisa? Well, it's not arrow, but it's close. Our 20-year-old is called Arlo. Arlo, 20 years ago, would have been quite revolutionary. Oh, people used to look at us strangely and we'd have to spell it out to them. And then, they would be like, why?

Why did you call it? But we loved it. And now it is so common. Oh my God, Arlo's are a dime a dozen these days, aren't they? The perfect example. Yes. I mean, I should take it as, you know, as a good thing. You're a trend setter.

Absolutely, people copied us because it's so cool. Except, except the problem is, your 20-year-old Arlo, everybody would assume that he's like six. Because it's the hot six-year-old name at the moment, Lisa. That's how ahead of the trend you were, Lisa. That's right. I know. We're too cool. Thanks, Lisa.

Perfect. Let's talk to Carolyn. Hi, Carolyn. Hi, Carolyn. Hi. Tell us what is the name that you think at the time? It was original, but it's become a lot more common now. So I'm the same as the previous caller.

I've got a 22-year-old now. We named a Piper. Piper. Okay, so 22. So what year was your Piper born? 2003. 2004. Yeah.

2004, but I feel like Piper became quite popular from that show Charmed. Yeah, so at the time, we went with Piper because that's where the name came from, but most people at the time went with Page. Ah. Yeah. So there's like a thousand pages her age. She went to school with so many pages, but it wasn't until she was probably about 10, that the name Piper sort of became a little more popular.

And now I actually work at a school, and we've got Piper's on the roll. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone's Piper. It's a very normal name now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting.

Okay. Thanks, Carolyn. We're talking about names that were originally original. Now they're commoners. Emily's here. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily.

Hey, guys. How you doing? We're good, thanks. What do you got for us, Emily? It's not super common still. My three and a half year old is called Raven. Raven. Raven.

Raven. Raven. Raven. Yeah, exactly right. Did you like that show? Is that where it came from? Team Titans. Team Titans.

Oh, yeah. Of course. Yeah. Of course. How... Also, first time caller, by the way. Oh, my God. First time call.

We finally got up. First time caller. It was good. Very good to have you on board. Raven stands out. I can see that one. And again, it's back into what we talked about. It's an animal name.

Yeah. I like it. Yeah. And she's very blonde, very fiaski. so it's kind of the opposite to what people expect. Even cooler. My daughter, Terry, is also named after a bird, so there's precedent. But there are birds you couldn't use, isn't there?

Like, I've never met a baby seagull. Oh, well, now you've ruined my chances of naming my kid magpie. Oh, I've got a daughter called Maggie. We call them magpie, so... Thank you, Emily. We asked, was your name originally original? Someone said, my name is Perla. Perla? I haven't heard that before.

I've never met another one. A pearler? Yeah. Oh, like a pearler potato, yeah. My husband's name is definitely original. His name is Stratt after the Jimmy Hendricks guitar. Strat. A Fender Strat.

Someone else said, Elise Shiva is not a common name. Yeah, but it hasn't become common. That's the difference, right? We're looking for originally original. Yep. I've recently heard of someone naming their baby girl Sandal. They went for the spelling, S-A-N-D-A-L-E.

So people would probably get sandal confused with Sandale. Oh, Sandale. What about this one? is called Baxter. We never met any other kids with that name, but we have met a lot of cute dogs called Baxter. A lot of dogs called Baxter. Baxter, my little gentleman. So good. There was a really good one down here somewhere. Oh, so many people texting through now. My name's Porsche. I actually think that's a good example. Yeah, depending on how old this person is. Yeah. That would have been originally original. They would have gone, what, like the car.

Or Mercedes? Mercedes, yeah. At one point, like someone would have went, what? What? Oh, we've got to get some baby Teslers out there. Little baby Teslers. Yeah, little baby B-Y-D. Oh, little baby squatter.

Little baby Great Wall. Oh, how cute's little baby squatter? Little baby, ordy. It's Z-M's Bree and Clint podcast. Temple Rhone. She got away. On ZM, Brie and Clint's. Rumor has it.

That song's about Renee Rath. Oh, really? No, I just made that up. We talked about it when you were away She revealed in an interview She's never been to Saskatchewan It's like when... She just put it in there because it rhymes

It's like when Dasher Do you remember that song Dasher had? The country song. Yes, what was it? Austin. Austin. She'd never been to Austin. Yeah, yeah.

Taylor Swift hates the color red. What the heck? Apparently, yeah. Start that rumor. This is Let's Get Classical where we go head to head with producer Ella to guess songs in classical style. Mad Dog, thank you.

Sorry, Mad Dog Ella. Mad Dog Millionaire. Yeah, that's me, baby. Shake it. Claudia, you're in charge, so good luck. I sure am. Thank you very much. I've whipped out my piano for this one,

so these are all pop songs done on the piano in a classical style, and you guys need to guess what it is. I would say you've got more keyboard hands, but it's just observant for me. I just was embellishing. It's not a piano. It is a keyboard.

But that's good for you. I knew it. I looked at your fingers and went their keyboard fingers. Not in this economy. Is this a underlying joke? Yeah. Unlost. I think we get on with the game.

Yeah, let's get on with the game. So it's Brian Klan versus Mad Dog Ella. Buzz him with your name. I need the artist and the name of the song. Are we ready? Ready. Here's your first one. Okay.

Bree. That is Alex Warren. It's taking me ordinary. Well done. He's in the country right now. If he's listening, feel free to call 0,800 dials at him. If Alex Warren's listening, Breyan, I want to do a video

with you where we carry you home. Yeah, I reckon we can do it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we'll double team you. Oh. Jill's up in the sky. Piggy back style. One point, Brian Clint's.

Correct. Here's another one. Oh. Ella. She just said, oh. Yeah? No, no, no, no, I don't want to... Brey. Three.

Quickly. That is Ariana Grande. Shosh. Give her a second. One last time. It is. Talking over me. That's not it.

I know my Ariana Grande's. Man, we're good. A solid win. For us. A winning team. Wow, that. Solid win from us. Solid win.

And Becky, because she's a solid win. you backed us. You win the KFC. Nice work. Awesome. Thank you. I had no doubt that you guys would win now your bakery. Yes. Come on, Becky. Yeah, we're stronger as a team. Last week I voted, last week I voted for Ella. Wow.

Becky was a good shot. So your motto is anyone but Clint, Becky? Well, I mean, come on. Yeah, I know. Don't know. I understand. I love her. She's honest. Come back over to my side next week. Hey, don't be trying to steal our supporters. Yeah, shut up, loser. I will do what I can.

Yeah, no, that's fair. Great work on the piano there, Claude. Thank you very much. Yeah, lovely. There's stumpy little fingers coming in handy. Yeah, slash keyboard. As ZM's Brinklin podcast. Last night I went to my friend's house for his birthday.

Shout out to my friend, Dan. Happy birthday for yesterday. Happy birthday, Dan. Happy birthday, mate. Went over there and, um, I, I learned of a very, very good coincidence. Okay. I think it's top tier.

Yep. But I thought I would share the coincidence with you guys and people listening. And you guys tell me out of 10 how good the coincidence is. Spooky coincidence? Were you like, whoa? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, a little bit. But you guys decide.

So here's the situation, right? So my friend Dan lives with two other people. Right. None of them had ever met before. All strangers, but they ended up living in the same house. So it's just him and these two other people. So three people in total living in the house. So my friend Dan celebrated his birthday yesterday, which was the 18th of August.

Right. His other flatmate, one of his other flatmates, Poppy, celebrated her birthday the day before on the 17th of August. Whoa, that's cool. His other flatmate, Tom, celebrates his birthday today on the 19th of August. All strangers. All strangers have never met. And then obviously they have learned. I think.

Just flatmate ads? Yeah. And then they just found out that they have their birthdays. They have their birthdays. They have their birthdays. And sequential order. Exactly. Yeah.

It's pretty good, isn't that? I looked it up. I looked it up. What are the odds of this happening? Which I don't know if this is right. I feel like this seems low. What did you search? I put it into chat GPT. Yeah. And what did you ask? I can't remember. What is the likelihood of three people having three birthdays in a row?

Yeah, but it's not just that. They've all ended up living in the same house together. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. What have you asked? I don't think I put that in. I don't think I put enough information in. Yeah. But it said one in 133,000. Yeah, see, that's good. Yep. Go with it.

I thought it was better than that. Don't ask you. That question, not too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not to go airy-fairy on it, but they're all Leo's. And I feel like no one loves a Leo like a Leo. Oh, my God. Like a trait, right?

Oh, my God. Are they a pride? They're a pride of Leo's. Pride of Leo's. Not to be woo-woo about it. Yeah. But I feel like they were meant to live together. They all do complement each other really well,

and they love living with each other. Are they from the same year? No. Not from the same year. Are they from three sequential years? Are they 38, 39 and 40? No. Are they like two two?

I feel like there are three different generations. I feel like one's a gen X, one's a millennial and one's a Gen Z. I thought Dan was a boomer. Oh, he's on the cusp. He's on the cusp. That is pretty wild. That's crazy. Is that a good coincidence or what?

It's good coincidence. Pretty good. It's like when we have birthday banger and like we just get, we get a list of three people and there's all some similarity in their birthday. There's always something. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I love those things.

I would have been so fun the day you realized that your birthdays went bang, bang, bang, and how did it come about? They're like, hey, I'm going to have people over for my birthday tomorrow. They're like crazy. It's my birthday the next day. And then the other one would have went, hey, it's my birthday today after that. Oh my God. Someone texts through and said my dad is the same, but it's him and his two best friends. friends the third the fourth and the fifth of july oh it's so cool is this a new theory that's wild

that birthday neighbors you attract yeah you attract birthday neighbors what about what about this one my brother has three children and they all share one birthday the twin boys so that's not that unusual but the twin boys were born on their big sister's birthday damn well pretty unlikely how we do a minor one because that's because of twins it's only two. Yeah. If it was three siblings though all on the same day that's pretty good. There's a little one. Um, whereas all my groomsmen were born on the 17th, 18th and 19th of March. What the? Wow. Wow. We've got another one. My daughter was born on the 19th of August. My husband is the 18th and I am the 20th. That's good too.

I like that. Oh, this is me. So my sister's Birthday happens two weeks after on the same you know like week day is me

two weeks after that is Ryan my husband two weeks after that is our friend no no no not as good

Richo. Ricko. Where does Ricky work? Producer Claudia? I'm hoping that he works at the National Aquarium of New Zealand in Napier. Oh, okay.

National Aquarium. Erica speaking, how can I help? Hi, Erica. It's Brian Clint from ZM. How are you? Good, thank you. That's good. Hey, a little bit of bad news.

Your middle name's not Richard, is it? No, it's not. Not Dick? No. Not Richy Rich? No. Damn it. If your name had been Richard, Erica, today you would have won $1,750.

And we're not joking. Oh, that's very unfortunate then. Any Richards that work at the National Aquarium in Napier? No, I don't think so. No. What's the best fish you've got on display there? What's the hot fish at the moment? What's everyone coming to see?

Good porpoises or? Currently, I think it's the puff of fishes that they're. I've been wanting to see the stingrays as well. I mean, I do love a puff of fish. Very cool fish. Yeah, yeah. Very cute.

Have a good day. You too. See you later. She was lovely, wasn't she? She was, but she wasn't Richard. And that means she doesn't win $1,750 bucks. So next week, we'll be looking for a name

in a haystack again, and it will be up to $1,800 cash. Imagine when we hit the 2000. Oh my God. The 2K, the 2K. Measure when we hit the 10K? I'm still going to be here. I have a feeling we might get there.

TVM's Brie and Clint podcast. All I want from my birthday. Birthday banger. All right, number one song is when you turn 16. That is your birthday banger. And we're about to figure out three. Samantha is going to go first. Kura Samantha.

Hi, Samantha. Hello. Would you say you are the most like Samantha on Sex and the city? I actually haven't watched it. You and Bree can't be friends, Samantha. Oh my God, Samantha's like, no loss. Tell us, mate, what is your birthday?

16th of December, 1996. All right, that means you was 16 in 2012. Are you sure? You've never watched one episode. No, I haven't. Not watching Sex in the City as such a Samantha thing to do, though. Such a cement. That's a Samantha thing to do.

You get James Arthur's impossible as your birthday banger, Samantha. What do you reckon? I mean, it's not a bad tune. This was huge. He was from X-Fractor. Yes. UK? Yes.

I think maybe he won 2012. Yeah. Yeah, what do you reckon, Samantha? I mean, I know the song. That's all right, eh? That's a start. That's a start. Well, I'm glad you know that, but you've never watched sex in the city.

Ellie's going to go next. Hi, Ellie. Hi, Ellie. Hi, guys. Please tell me you've watched sex in the city. I have. Not a very long time, but decent at a way. But you've watched it, right?

You've watched it. Yeah. You know the girls. Who would you be most like? Yeah, probably Samantha. Oh, you're a Samantha. I love it, Ellie. Okay, cool.

What is your birthday? 12th of April, 1989. That is such a Samantha birthday. It really is. You were 16 in 2005 and here it is. That's right. A Samantha birthday back in to go with it. Whoa.

What do you reckon, Allie? 50 cent candy shop. You like it? Fabulous. My teenage son doesn't look too impressed, but that's okay. Hey, you let mum drop it low if she wants to drop it low. If mum wants to take an afternoon trip to the candy shop, you let her. She had a hard day.

You let her back it up. She wants to lick the lollipop. Get out of the way, because she's backing this thing up. That'd be an awkward car ride for you and your sons. Mums can like lollipops too. Absolutely. No. Staking his head, no.

Wait there, Ellie. We got one more birthday bangor to do for Teresa, whose birthday is today. Happy birthday, Teresa. Hi, Teresa. Hi guys, thank you. I am doing a bit of a happy birthday for today, by the way. Thanks, thanks. And I mean, I need to, I'm doing a poll. Have you seen sex in the city? Yes or no? Unfortunately, I have not.

I mean, it's a one in three. It's not good numbers for the sex in the city girls. That must be why they cancelled the spin-off. Yeah, could have been. Hey, have you got any good birthday gifts yet? I've got some new shoes, so that's great. Were they Manolo Blonix? Sure. I'm really hammering the six in the city stuff. I'll stop now.

Hey, Teresa, what is your birthday? What year? 19, 1993. Okay, that means you were 16 in 2009. So on this day back in 2009, this was at the top. It's a banger and it still goes off. Acorn and David get a sexy check. For the birthday girl.

It's her birthday today. And in 2009 on this day, that was the number one song. That weirdly is one of those songs that I remember where I was the first time that I heard it. You know some songs get burnt into your mind? I don't know why that is one of them, but I know exactly where I was. Who were your open-mouth kissing? Trying.

Yeah. I was at the grumpy mole in Tauranga. You don't call women that anymore. It's not fair. No, no. All the moles at that bar were very happy that night, actually. Oh, were they? I was on the, they had like the stage,

which is kind of like stadium seating, and you could do, like, dancing on multi-level. And I remember the DJ dropped sexy check. What in the world? And I looked at my friend Dom and I was like, are you hearing this, bro? And he's like, bro, I'm hearing this. This is revolutionary.

This has changed everything. This has changed the game. Acon, done it again, bro. Anyway, shout out Grumpy Mole, RIP. BATM's Brie and Clint podcast. Accusations that we don't do enough shark news on the Brie and Clint show. And we take those allegations very seriously. So I'm here to remedy that today with some shark news.

shark news for the team. Good on you. Shark fans. We all shark fans in this group. Yeah, I'm a shark fan. I love a shark. Yeah? Sympathetic to a shark's cause.

You know when you see the Aussies and they go shark killing in the summers to keep them away from the beaches? I always feel a bit bad for the shark. Yeah, I think they get a bad rap. What's your favourite shark? That's my favourite question to ask about sharks. Can't go past a great white. Oh, basic.

Really? Really the greatest apex predator on the planet? I mean, it's good. It's good, but everyone's going to say great one. What do you like? I'd have to go with Tiger. You like Tiger Shark? Yeah, like it's got the cool markings and it's fast.

Oh, can I have a backup shark? Yeah. Hammerhead. I was going to say Hemmerhead is my first shark. Hammerhead sharks are like the Danny DeVito or sharks. Fine, I'll pick a whale shark. Or is it a whale or is it a shark? Yeah, I like it.

I like a, I'm Googling. I like a silky shark. That was a silky shark. It's a gray whale. Whaler shark, olive shark. There's lots of different types of them. A grey nurse shark. I may have your new favourite shark in shark news today.

Is it Amy? No, it's not Amy Shark. It's not a shark vacuum cleaner or a shark hairdriar. Damn, I love those. The world's first ever orange shark has been discovered in the Caribbean. Whoa, that just brought up a photo. Yeah. That is a cool shark.

You are looking at a, you're looking at a nurse shark, a 1.8 metre nurse shark, and it is the world's first orange-coloured shark. Wait. It's not lightly orange, it's not slightly orange. It is bright, fricking orange, this shark, isn't it? The first they've ever seen? Yes, the world's first ever observed orange shark. It's literally a ginger.

What do they reckon happened to it? I know. That shark strunk way too much barocca. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. No. Fanta. Thus saying it's some kind of gene mutation and it's a type of albino shark.

Because they're meant to be grey. Yeah, right. Something about the pigmentation has turned this one orange. But I think more seriously we need to be asking the question, has the promo for Taylor Swift's new album gone too far? I think it is. I think you're dead right. Is this one Easter egg too much from Taylor Swift

and the marketing showy album? Spray painting a shark. He's a bit too far from Taylor Swift. There's a little bit of glitter on it as well. And you say, you say coincidence. I say no. I say, why has this shark arrived the same week that she dropped to the podcast releasing the album?

It's true. There are no coincidences when it comes to Taylor Swift. The old phantom pants shark has arrived at the exact same time. Coincidence? I think not. Either that or a billboard for Ed Sharon's new tour, but either way, it's orange and it exists. Oh my gosh, it's the new run in Harry Potter.

If they did a shark version of Harry Potter. Yeah, yeah. Yep. That would be Ron Weasley. Man, we're good. Google it. I don't know if you can say sharks are cute, but this is quite a cute shark. It is a cute shark.

Isn't that? It's very cool. That's shark news. I liked it. More shark news on the show? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, you're all right. We'll work on it.

And that is the end of our show. Thank you, everybody, for joining us. Thank you so much, guys. We must rush home because there's a... another episode of Taskmaster. Back-to-back episodes. Do we know if it's going to always be Monday and Tuesday night? I don't know.

We don't know, do we? I don't know if it's just for the launch week. It might go to just Monday nights, but it could just be Monday Tuesday for the next however many weeks. Who cares? Yeah. It's on and it's good. And I think Bree's currently sitting in third place.

I mean, middle of the pack is where you want to beat. You don't want to pick too early. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Something like that. 730 TV2, you can also catch it on TV in Z Plus, and we'll catch you guys back tomorrow. Bye-bye.
