Starting point is 00:00:00 Everyone wants to be seen to be environmentally conscious in our agricultural industry, but who is actually walking the walk? Not all suppliers of bale wrap into the NZ market participate in the collection and recovery of their plastic, leaving it to others to take care of. Can you be certain your supplier is also contributing to the cost of collection? Leave the right legacy for future farming generations. To find out if your supplier supports the Plasback scheme, head to

Starting point is 00:01:49 Yeah, yeah. Is it James Earl Jones or something or is he the Darth Vader one? Apparently a guy named Peter Cullen. Yeah. Claudia, have you got the answer for us? Well, I've got the answer for James Earl Jones. He's the Darth Vader Mufasa side of things.
Starting point is 00:02:04 That's the connection. But not Optimus Prime as someone else. What's the story that you've heard about it? James Bay Transformers. Oh, maybe the story I heard is that the guy who voices Optimus Prime in the James Bay Transformers was also
Starting point is 00:02:19 the guy who voiced Optimus Prime in the cartoons back in the day, in the 90s. And then Chris Hemsworth has voiced Optimus Prime in the cartoons back in the day, in the 90s. And then Chris Hemsworth has voiced Optimus Prime in the new Transformer movie. Has he? Yeah. Yeah, right. In the one that's about to come out, the cartoon movie.
Starting point is 00:02:33 He's also the voice of Thor. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard that. Cool. So we'll get Chris Hemsworth? Is that what we decided on? Chris Hemsworth.

Watch out for question number five today then, Josh. Yeah, maybe try and get it done before question five or it's not going to be good for you, okay? Please, no maths ones. Well, just letting you know at the top.

Starting point is 00:06:32 As long as you don't have to do that pisky maths question, eh? Yeah, I know. That's what I'm more happy about. Yeah. I don't care about winning. I just care about not doing a maths question. He's got to win for the tradies. ZDM'sie and Clint podcast.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Famous guy, funny guy, Dak Shepard, who hosts the podcast Armchair Expert. Yeah. Very popular podcast. He's married to Kristen Bell. Bell, not Stewart. Kristen Bell. Word.
Starting point is 00:07:01 There's a lot of Kristen. There's a lot. Kristen. Kirsten Dunst. He's married lot of Kristen. There's a lot. Kristen. Kirsten Dunst. He's married to Sarah Marshall. Yeah, he's married to forgetting Sarah Marshall. Anyway, they've got a couple of daughters together and on his most recent podcast he was talking about a moment with his 10-year-old daughter where she asked him a question
Starting point is 00:07:24 that he didn't quite know how to explain. Yeah, yeah. And essentially he was saying that her favourite album is the short and sweet album from Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah. And her favourite song is Juno. If you love me right, then who knows? I might let you make me Juno. So they apparently were in the car listening to this song and she goes,
Starting point is 00:07:50 you know, this is my favourite song from this album, Dad. And he's like, oh, that's good. And she goes, but do you know what Juno is? And apparently Dax Shepard was like, no. And she said, well, it's a movie. And then he said, the movie Juno. And she's like, yeah, it's a story about a girl who gets pregnant. And then apparently he didn't know what to say.
Starting point is 00:08:18 He's like, oh, that's a bit nasty. And she's like, what's nasty about wanting to have a baby with someone? Good point. Anyway, in the end, they eventually talked about quite a difficult one to explain to a 10-year-old. Yeah, yeah. He doesn't know if he did a good job or a bad job. Nah, nah. And effectively, it's the birds and bees conversation brought about
Starting point is 00:08:43 by a Sabrina Carpenter song. A lot of people would have had to have the Juno code word explained to them though. Like it's not obvious in that song what I might let you make me Juno is. No. You know? No, it's not. I remember having to explain that to my wife actually. She goes, what's Juno?
Starting point is 00:08:57 I think you explained it to me. But questions from kids that catch you off guard. You can't be prepared for them all. I've got kids. I've got a five-year-old and a three-year-old, and they're starting to come thick and fast, those questions. We talked the other week on the podcast about one day where I got a bunch of questions that I couldn't answer.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I got, Dad, what does it feel like to die? That's a hard one to answer. Dad, I know. And that's my answer. I said, I don't know. I've never died. And then the follow-up question was, what happens to you when you die? Where do you go?
Starting point is 00:09:31 Yeah. I was like, oh, get your mother for that one. I don't know either. And then in the car that same day, I got, Dad, how come dads never have the baby? Oh, that's a great question. That's a really good question. It's because we don't have the body parts. That's a special thing that only mums can do.
Starting point is 00:09:46 And I should have stopped there, but I said, but dads help. And then the instant follow-up question was. Was your wife there? No. Oh, you're lucky. Straight, it was like a 10-second silence, and then I got, how do dads help? And I panicked. Oh, my God, I panicked.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I went with, oh. Yeah, what did you say? I said, it sounds cliche, but I said, well, when a mum and dad love each other, they get together and then they decide to have a baby. And for a five-year-old, that was enough. She went, okay. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah. So they have a Zoom meeting. Yeah, they make the decision. They schedule it in. And then there's a baby. Oh, yeah, in stupresto. I thought we could put it out there this afternoon and ask you guys what is the question a child asked you
Starting point is 00:10:32 that was quite a tricky one to answer? Yeah. What was the question that the kid asked you? It might not even be an awkward question. It might just be a question that you don't know the answer to. You go, oh, my God, I'm an adult person and I don't have this answer for you. What kind of existential question are you asking me to answer right now?
Starting point is 00:10:50 Oh, $800 at M or you can text them into 9696. The questions from kids that you couldn't answer this afternoon. For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr Asia Syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Clark would have threatened
Starting point is 00:11:12 him. Go and kill him. If you don't, I'm going to kill you and your wife and your son. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. We're asking you what are the questions you've been asked from a kid where it was quite difficult to explain or answer the question.
Starting point is 00:11:37 We're getting a lot of correspondence from teachers. That one who said, I am a teacher and guys, trust us, we get asked questions we don't know the answers to on the daily. You would, because you're conditioned to ask teachers questions. Teachers are on the front line. Yeah, you know everything. You're the teacher. They get peppered with all the questions. Let's start with Jessica.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Jessica, what was the question from your nephew? He asked me why I have so many boyfriends. Well, all at once. Gee, shade. No, he asked me why I've had so many since he's been born. Why have you had so many? How many do you reckon you've had, Jess?
Starting point is 00:12:15 I haven't had that many. I've had four and he's 12. Okay, so that's pretty normal. Was that the answer you gave him? No, I said that he wouldn't like them because they didn't make me very happy. Oh, that's a good answer. Yeah, it's a great answer. Why have you had so many boyfriends, Jess?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Because they're cheaters. It's not Jess's fault. It's not Jess's fault. She's out here trying to find a life partner. Jeremy's here. Hi, Jeremy. Hi, Jeremy. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Tell us, who was the kid that asked you a question that was hard to explain? It was my daughter. She's six, and she asked, how come your nipples can't make milk and only mummy's? That's a good question. That is good, yeah, yeah. It's a great question. I think I've had that one.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Why don't dads do the breastfeeding? How did you answer it, Jeremy? Well, I was caught off guard, so I just said, because they don't. Stop asking. You could say, because daddy's nipples are quite sensitive. Oh, no, I went with, oh, mine are too hairy. Yeah, or mum's got... Oh, no, she did say that.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yeah. Yeah, right. It's a good thing they don't, because the baby would get all the hair in their mouth. Yeah. Titchy. Smart kid, Jeremy. This text is quite good. It says, questions from my youngest.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Just today I've been asked, am I allowed to marry the cat? My three-year-old asked me where his older sister's penis was. And why do we bury people when they die, but when a cow dies, we eat it? Those are great questions. Really good questions. Especially the marrying the cat one. Why can't you? Tracy's here. Hi, Tracy. Hi, Tracy. Really good questions. Especially the marrying the cat one. Why can't you?
Starting point is 00:13:45 Tracey's here. Hi, Tracey. Hi, Tracey. Hi. Hi. Mine feels really insignificant now, but a few years back, I unfortunately lost my breast to breast cancer,
Starting point is 00:13:56 so I had to go in a six-year-old way, explain, you know, that one day I'll get a breast back because they do it from, you know, my body and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. He interpreted that to say, oh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:14:03 I think I was going to grow back when to tell the kid who's got no arm at school and he'd say, hey, guess what? You know, I'm and stuff like that. Yeah. He interpreted that to say, oh, yeah, a cow is going to grow back. We need to tell the kid who's got no arm at school. Then he'd say, hey, guess what? You don't have those bags on the mother's boots. It's going to grow back. Oh, Tracey. That was a fun conversation with the school and the mum of the child.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Tracey, Tracey, you really set us up there. You said yours was insignificant. No, no, yours was quite significant. I don't want to know why you can't marry a cat. I'm now wondering it. Oh, right, that's the big one for you. Tracy's all caught up on the cat one. Hey, bro, your arm's going to grow back,
Starting point is 00:14:34 and then you're going to grow some breasts. Oh, God, so you made your child believe that we're like lizards and we grow our limbs back. Yeah, it's just going to grow back. So thank goodness he's now 11 and he knows a bit more. Oh, that's so funny, Tracy. That was a really hard conversation. It's like, how do you say that to a six-year-old?
Starting point is 00:14:49 No, I know. Yeah. It's hard to explain. You want to protect them, also you don't want to explain too much because questions lead to questions. Yeah, good on you, Tracy. Someone said,
Starting point is 00:14:59 I had a four-year-old ask me if I had a baby in my tummy. I did not have a baby in my tummy. That one stings. I got not have a baby in my tummy. That one stings. I got asked, does a mouse have eyebrows? That is a great question. That's a great question. And something we probably can't answer. What about this one?
Starting point is 00:15:16 I'm a teacher and my six-year-old student asked why his mum had hair on her lady parts. I responded that it's normal for people to have hair or not. It's the grown-up's choice. This conversation started after swimming when another child asked why girls don't have penises.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Yeah. I mean. They're very normal questions. Very normal questions. Can you imagine, like, take yourself back to when you were that age and you'd be figuring all this stuff out. You'd go, phew, that doesn't look like mine. You're like, wait a second, why have they got different parts?
Starting point is 00:15:49 My brother had his first sex ed class, and the first thing he asked mum when he got picked up from school was, when will I have my first wet dream? They sound awesome. That sucks. And that's when mum goes, ask your father. Yeah. That's one where you send them to dad.
Starting point is 00:16:05 That one dad can handle. What about this one? I remember my niece asking me, how come auntie kisses auntie? That was a hard one, but we answered it. Today she understands. Yeah. Once a kid came up to me and asked me about the meaning of life. The strange part was I had never met this kid before.
Starting point is 00:16:24 That's one of those kids, eh? That's one of those. I'd just be like, who are you? What about this one? Once a five-year-old kid came in my class while cutting some papers, said in their high-pitched voice, Jenny, what's quantum physics?
Starting point is 00:16:40 I'd freak out. I'd be like, who is this kid? My three-year-old nephew asked me why the vet killed our cat as we drove past the vet months after the cat had to be put down. Why did that vet kill my cat? Yeah, I mean, that's hard to answer, isn't it? That's why, you know, a lot of animals go to the farm. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:17:02 You know? My nine-year-old asked my mum how long did it take her to get to her age? God, that's a good question. Yeah. I mean, you can answer that one, can't you? You can answer that one. Yeah. But will they understand it?
Starting point is 00:17:14 My son, who's eight, asked me yesterday morning if I knew what a strip club was. And do you? I'm guessing they probably do. Yeah, that question didn't come from nowhere, eh? Yeah, like where have they got that from? Yeah, yeah. That's what I'd be thinking.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Did they find your showgirls money? You're like, why does this money look so different? And it's sticky. My kid asked, is it normal for a boy to have three balls? Zed-Anne's Brain Clench. I saw this story today which suggests that there is a rise in people having tattoo removal, going and getting their tattoos taken off their bodies. The biggest example of this currently is Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live who's done a shirtless photo shoot where it's clear to see he's had
Starting point is 00:18:05 all of his tattoos removed. And he had a lot of tattoos. Yeah, I don't think that photo shoot's real, though. Really? Nah, they've covered them up with makeup. Well, he went on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and they talked about it and he showed his body and stuff. Like, I know he's getting them removed.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah. But I just don't think that, I don't know, do tattoos ever really get completely removed? That's a good question. Because you can't see scarring or anything on his body, can you? Yeah, like he had some really dark tattoos on his chest and I just don't think it would completely remove it. He had some really bad tattoos too, like a shark biting off his nipple.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Yeah, I quite like that one. Oh, bad's in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? Remember when he was dating Kim Kardashian and he got a bunch of Kim Kardashian tattoos? Did he? He got a tattoo for Kim Kardashian that said, my girl is a lawyer. That's right. Remember that one? He did too.
Starting point is 00:18:59 That's gone. There's a New Zealand tattoo business in the news as well because alongside their tattoo business, they also run a tattoo removal business. Isn't that clever? Like it's one and one. You get them on the way in, you get them on the way out. And they've said that they're looking to expand their tattoo removal business, not their tattoo business.
Starting point is 00:19:20 What, because more people are getting them removed? Well, I guess that's, I don't know, but that's where they see the business opportunity at the moment. Is it a great business model because are they doing bad tattoos on purpose? Yeah, yeah. So then the person, they hit them twice so they put the bad tattoo
Starting point is 00:19:36 on them and then they have to go get it removed. Genius. Yeah. Genius. You're the cause and the solution of the problem. Double consumer. Yeah, exactly right. I thought we could take some calls from people this afternoon who have had a tattoo removed. You've never had any of yours removed, have you? No, I probably would get one of them.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I was going to say, do you want any of them removed? Why do you say it like that? I've only seen one of your tattoos. I've got three. Yeah, I know. That's what I mean. I know you've got three. I've only seen one.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Have you? Which one? The ankle one. What's it of? Like a lotus flower or something. Oh, you haven't seen the other one on my other ankle? No, what's on the other ankle? Live, laugh, love.
Starting point is 00:20:15 No, thank God. I would have got that removed. No offence to anyone who has live, laugh, love. I'm sure it looks great. I think you can make fun of Live, Laugh, Love. Do you reckon anyone... No, what's your other tattoos? I've got the 13 on my other foot.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Oh, that's right. Yeah, that kind of looks like a B. Yeah, for Taylor Swift, eh? No, not for Taylor Swift. Oh. It's my lucky number. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and she copied me.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And where's your third tattoo? I can't talk about that one. Yeah, I thought there was one. No one will ever see that one. Is it ribs? No. We did that nude shoot last year, me and you. How did I not see the third tattoo?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Claudia, did you see it? I was trying not to look. I was trying to be polite and not look. I didn't see it that day, but I saw it a different day. What? What? No, I actually have no idea where it is. Yeah. Wow. Well, it's not on her breasts, put it that day, but I saw it a different day. What? What? I actually have no idea where it is. Wow. Well, it's not
Starting point is 00:21:08 on her breasts, put it that way. Glad we covered that. Not that I looked. We want to know, on 0800DARLSATM, have you had a tattoo removed, and why? Why did you get it taken off your body? I feel like there's going to be a lot of exes' names removed.
Starting point is 00:21:24 A lot of bad, drunken decisions maybe. You regretted it, so you had it removed. 0800 DALESATM or you can text your story into 9696. We'd love to hear about your tattoo removals this afternoon. ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. Apparently, the trend
Starting point is 00:21:40 is to have your tattoos removed. Not if you're watching Married at First Sight. The trend on Married at First Sight is more, more, more tattoos. Please can I get some more tattoos? Just bring on the tattoos. Who's the guy that's married to the girl? Oh, this is a terrible way of asking. The Italian girl?
Starting point is 00:21:57 Karina. No, the other Italian girl. She's Greek. Oh, she's Greek, the other one? Yes, Jamie. Who's her partner? Dave. Dave.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Oh, blimey, he's got a lot of tattoos. He's covered. So Pete Davidson, not that he wants to have his tattoos removed, but if he did, Pete Davidson having all of his tattoos removed would give Dave hope, wouldn't he? Yeah, if he wanted to get his tattoos removed. If he wanted to get them removed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:19 So we've asked you, why did you get your tattoo removed? Moniece is here. Hi, Moniece. Hi, Moniece. Hi, Moniece. Hi. Long time listener. Wait a second. There she is.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I thought there was some kind of cheeky giggle about you, Moniece. I was like, what secret is she hiding? We have chased you for years, Moniece, and finally you call us. Thank you. Thank you. I'm honoured to be on the show. No, no, no. The honour is all ours.
Starting point is 00:22:47 We are honoured. Can you tell us what tattoo did you have removed and why? Yeah, so it wasn't offensive or anything. I just, when I was 18, got a small outline of New Zealand on my wrist. Okay. And it was, you know, visible. Tasteful? And, yeah, yeah, you know, not that.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Patriotic? Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. And I really wanted to become a flight attendant. But when I was 20, I think, is when I did the flight attendant training. Oh, and you can't have visible tattoos if you're a flight attendant. Yeah, yeah. So this was like 12 years ago now. So back then, yes.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I feel like they've changed the rules now. I think I heard that too, yeah. Yeah. So you got it removed? I got it removed, yeah. The tattoo cost me $60. Okay. It took 12 sessions to get it removed at $150
Starting point is 00:23:46 a session. Wow. But was it all worth it? Was it all worth it for your flight attendant career? I never became a flight attendant. Oh no. My niece. This is so weird to ask. I regret getting it removed because I liked it. Normally people
Starting point is 00:24:04 say do you regret getting the tattoo? Do you regret removing your tattoo? I do. I do. I loved it. Oh, that sucks. It was nice. It's a bit weird if Air New Zealand wouldn't let you be a flight attendant
Starting point is 00:24:15 because you had a tattoo of New Zealand, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I know. Like if you had a Qantas kangaroo on your forehead, I could understand. Kind of fit the bill. Okay, thanks, Moniece. That's good perspective. Someone's texted in and they said.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I love this text. About that, because I said. Live, laugh, love. Live, laugh, love. Someone said, oh, my God, shout out to Lucy Newton from Dunedin with live, laugh, love on her hip bone that she got done in 2011 in Wellington as a fresher at uni. She wishes she got that one removed.
Starting point is 00:24:49 To make it worse, it's now stretched and looks crap apparently. That's a bit harsh. We also got matching bow tattoos on our wrists when we were 18 in 2010. I've had mine removed now. She hasn't, but we still remain really good friends. God, in a 12 month run in the 2010s you got live, laugh, love and a bow
Starting point is 00:25:12 tattoo on your wrist. That's peak 2010s tattoo, isn't it? Yeah. The only thing you're missing is a moustache on the inside of your finger. Oh, that was the classic. That's the millennial set. And everyone was also getting YOLO. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:26 That was another common one. I'll never forget. Regretting your YOLO tattoo has like a perfect irony about it, doesn't it? It really does. Yeah. It's kind of, yeah, kind of nice actually. It's like regretting your no regrets tattoo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yeah. I'll never forget this day. Two of my best friends, they went on this wild weekend it was like a girl's weekend and we're all really young i didn't go normally i would have went but i was like oh i had something on anyway they came back and i was like how was the trip and they both kind of looked at each other and they're like yeah it was good i was like what happened and they're like oh we can't match him tattoos and apparently apparently this one night things got out of control and they got these tattoos both on their ribs, right?
Starting point is 00:26:12 And it was a birdcage with birds flying out of the birdcage. But the birdcage, like where the door was, the guy had drawn bars into that part so it there was nowhere the birds would have been able to fly out so it's an impossible cage it was the worst tattoo i've ever seen and they both and they both had it they both got it i would have looked at the first girl and gone i'm not getting that like if you're going if you're going sick and i'd go i know we made a deal but i'm not getting that i'm gonna get something else no you have to get know we made a deal but I'm not getting that. I'm going to get something else. No, you have to get it. We made a pact. If my tattoo sucks, your tattoo sucks.
Starting point is 00:26:48 I would so pull out. Also, sage advice here from someone. They said, don't have your tattoos removed. Have them covered up with other tattoos. Yeah. Bigger, darker tattoos. Live, laugh, love. The ZM Podcast Network.
Starting point is 00:27:07 That is the superior version of that song I believe I think so too, I agree It's twice as long as the other one But it's much better Way better Dochi Sampling Kimbra and Gautier It's Anxiety on ZM
Starting point is 00:27:19 Do you reckon they get paid for that? Kimbra and Gautier? Yeah They will now that Dochi has officially released it. Got it. When it was just like a, what does she do it on? Does she do it on TikTok? You wouldn't get paid for that.
Starting point is 00:27:32 But once you release it as a single, yeah, I think they get half. Half? I think so. Wow. I think that's how it works. God, that's pretty good. Yeah. Good royalties on that.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Good for Gautier. Yeah. And Kimbra. They would have made bank off the original one good. Yeah. Good royalties on that. Good for Goatee, eh? Yeah. And Kimbra. They would have made bank off the original one too. Yeah. They would have got so rich off that first version. How much?
Starting point is 00:27:52 What was that song called again? Somebody That I Used To Know. Somebody. Here we go. You should have put this question in Google down. I still can. It doesn't really say. Doesn't have a definite answer.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Well, Dochi's on board now, so re-up. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down Punk. Remember there was that fun fact, though, how he didn't monetise the YouTube video? Oh. Of that, and it got millions and millions of views.
Starting point is 00:28:28 But he never put it in monetised mode. And he missed out. Also, unless Kimbra is on that version, like Kimbra's voice, Kimbra won't get paid for Don't You Using It. Because it's Gautier's track. Gutted. Yeah. Yeah, because she featured.
Starting point is 00:28:41 She featured on it, yeah. That's right. It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Let's play. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Here we go, Google Down time,
Starting point is 00:28:56 which could win you KFC chicken dollars if you've backed the winner, which will be one of these people, Clint, Claudia or Ella, and all they have to do is be the fastest Googler, yell out the correct answer, be the first to three points and they'll take home the win. Are we all ready to play? I'm in a relaxed stance. I'm in a relaxed mood.
Starting point is 00:29:17 And I'm very tense. Me. Let's go. All right, here we go. Are we all ready? Set. Here comes question number one. How many kids does Anne Hathaway have?
Starting point is 00:29:32 Three. Two. I have no idea. Two. I didn't finish. I didn't go period with three. I said three, two. I'll give it to you, but this is a warning.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Okay, thank you for your warning. But I will give it to you. Two sons. It is two sons. Okay. Thank you for your warning. But I will give it to you. Two suns. It is two suns. One to Ella. Just by the skin of her teeth. I'll take it. John and Jack. John and Jack.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Where's Jill? They went up the hill, didn't they? To fetch a pen of water. Question number two. What is the population of Tokyo, Japan in 2025? 37 to 40 million people. 37 million.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I'll give it to you, Claude. 41 million. Thank you. What I had was 37. My God. I'll give it to you. Thanks, guys. You're on the board.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Question number three, how old is Kendrick Lamar? 37. 37. Oh, dang. God, that was close, but Claudia just got in there. Two to Claude, one to Ella. Too old for Drake. Question number four. Who invented triple cooked chips?
Starting point is 00:30:42 That's so niche. Heston Blumenthal. Oh, I got that too. Chef Heston Blumenthal. The science guy from MasterChef. Is correct. He owns, I think it's called the Fat Duck Restaurant. Don't get that wrong.
Starting point is 00:30:59 And that is the win. The dat. I was careful. Dat fat. Nicole, you backed Claudia, and you were right to do so. You've picked up 50 KFC chicken dollars. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Oh, awesome. Thank you so much. Well done. We'll get the KFC out to your toot sweet. I didn't get a single one. Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything. Not one. Can you make it interesting next week, Claude? I gave Ella one. Nah, I wasn't going to say anything. Yes. Not one. Can you make it interesting next week, Claude? Like at least... I gave Ella one.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Nah. Nah. Ella's not having that. She won that fair and square. I remember I lost my mojo for a while and I'm finally back. So now next week I'll just do it from my noggin. No phone. Who are you hooking up with?
Starting point is 00:31:38 I think that's the source of all your powers. I'll never tell. It's ZM's Brinklin Podcast. I'll never tell. Have you seen that trend that's doing the rounds where people call their parents and make it out like they're about to have their debut in the NRL? I saw it this morning. So good. I love it.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Does anyone's parents ever fall for it? Well, I think it started because there was some real ones where people actually filmed themselves making that phone call and then obviously people that are going to never have that opportunity were like, oh, whatever, go. Yeah. It's cute if your parents do believe in you enough that you, a mid-30s woman with no experience, could make your NRL debut,
Starting point is 00:32:24 you know, just off the bench? Yeah. I reckon my mum believes in me enough that if I call her now and tell her that I'm making my debut, she'll probably just, yeah, she'll buy it. We'll put that to the test now and see. Do you reckon she's going to be supportive? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:40 I don't know. The only reason that I think she probably won't is because she is an NRL fan, and so she knows what's required. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'll say NRLW because that's a little bit more believable. Oh, you're not debuting in the men's competition? Well, I mean, you never know.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Maybe get the call up for the Warriors. Who knows? But, okay, we'll make it a little bit more believable. Let's put in the call to Mama Di. Mama Di, are you there? Hi, how are you going? I'll just pop you off speaker. How are you going? Yeah, good. Are you sitting down?
Starting point is 00:33:13 Yeah, I am sitting down. This is, you're not going to believe this, but when I tell you, this is a big moment for me. Okay. Is it good news? It's good news, Mum. You've won the lotto. Mum, next weekend... Yeah?
Starting point is 00:33:33 I'm going to make my debut in the NRLW. Oh, Brianna! You're not, are you? Mum, it's... Eh? I just wanted... Is Dad around? I just wanted to call and just wanted to say thank you guys so much for everything,
Starting point is 00:33:53 all the sacrifice you guys... Are you going to go in Cameron Smith's shoes, are you? I have been selected as 5'8". And look, Mum, when I tell you this other news, don't get upset. I will be debuting next weekend for the Manly Sea Eagles.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Oh, that's bullshit. That'll be your last, your first time and your last time. Don't, don't pander to her, Di. Don't even pretend for a second that you thought it was possible. You knew. At least it's maroon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Mum, you believe that, hey, mum, if you, though serious, if I called you and was like, for real, you'd believe it, eh? I have the talent. Yeah, but I don't feel like going over for a hospital trip anytime soon. What are you saying, Mum? I could run straight at any one of those girls in the NRLW. Yeah, but they run back at you. You just have to remember that.
Starting point is 00:35:04 It's a social media trend, Di, where people call their parents and pretend they've had the call-up to the National Rugby League. What would you believe? Like, that's not believable, and God bless you for entertaining the idea. What would you believe from Bree if she called you and she said she'd been selected for what? Oh, I'd believe if it was probably one of two things, probably softball or soccer.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Oh, yeah, okay. Or as a part of the line up at the police station. Yeah, possibly. Even basketball. Hot dog eating competition. Yeah, probably. Yeah, I'd say so. Oh, she should have went with hot dog eating competition.
Starting point is 00:35:41 I know. She would have taken that hook line and sinker. Oh, well, you're too supportive. We love you. Thank you. Love you, Mum. Appreciate the support. Make sure you have it on the telly next weekend, okay?
Starting point is 00:35:51 Debut NRLW. Let's go, Seagulls. Let's go. Play Zed In's Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint's gaydar. Let us rock. Right now it's time to put our Gaydars to the test. Second round.
Starting point is 00:36:07 We've only played this once. It was a hit last week. It was a hit on social media, Gaydar. People asking for it to come back. There was people texting. There's text messages coming through every day. When's Gaydar coming back? Simple concept.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Brie has quite a good Gaydar as proven last week. Five out of five for you. Could have been a bit as proven last week. Five out of five for you. Could have been a bit of a fluke. Five out of five. You reckon? Maybe. There's nothing fluky about me getting one out of five. I got four wrong in a row,
Starting point is 00:36:34 and then the last one I just copied you and got it right. So room to improve for me. There's only down for you. Yeah, I know. Not great, eh? If you missed it last week, here's how gaydar goes. First contestant here to play gaydar is Jacob. What do you do for work, Jacob? I know. Not great, eh? If you missed it last week, here's how Gaydar goes. First contestant here to play Gaydar is Jacob. What do you do for work,
Starting point is 00:36:48 Jacob? I work in IT. Three, two, one. No. Yes. Gay. Not gay. Gay. I am not. Welcome to Gaydar, Coco. Hey, Coco, do you own a pair of Doc Martens? No. She's not gay.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Etc, etc. Yeah, we'll talk to you a little bit and then we'll run our gaydar over you to guess whether you are straight or... Gay's an all-encompassing word in this game, isn't it? Yeah, if you're a part of the queer community. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But obviously yeah, the fun term is
Starting point is 00:37:21 gaydar. So if you want to play we'd love you to call through now 0800 dial ZM and we'll just guess if you're gay or not we need a mix we need a mix of people from all colours of the rainbow whoever you are we'd love you to play
Starting point is 00:37:38 and people who are not even in the rainbow got so many people so many people calling through already gaydar is jamming. What about me? What about me? Am I a part of the queer community? We had former celebrity weatherman,
Starting point is 00:37:50 Maddy McLean, come in and visit us before the show today. And he was criticising my gaydar quite hard. But I will tell you, it was going off while he was in the room. Yeah, I didn't get much. Really? Nah, he was giving me straight masks. Surprises me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:06 ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. I reckon she could be gay. I reckon you could be right. Yeah. Chablerone on ZM. Brie and Clint's gaydar. Let's rock. That's us.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Between us, we will figure out whether you're gay or not. And we will put our gaydars to the test. Yeah, yeah. We're putting our gay reputation on the line. Are you a part of the queer community? Wait, that came out wrong. That's all right. Everyone is welcome to play.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. But we will be guessing if you are a part of the queer community. Let's see how we go. Jay's here. Hi, Jay. Hi, Jay. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Before we start, can I ask who you've got more faith in? Whose gay day you trust more? We have Bree, who is a part of the queer community, and me, who is not. Who do you think is going to correctly pick you this afternoon? Probably Bree, I reckon. Okay. He's just going off past track record.
Starting point is 00:39:01 We've only played once. Jay, what part of the country do you live in? Christchurch. Christch in? Christchurch. Christchurch. Christchurch. He's a Christchurch boy. What do you do for work? I'm a transport manager.

Starting point is 00:39:43 Do you own a vest? Yes. Sleeveless vest. The problem is, is that the vest has come into fashion recently. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the question... There's vests and there's vests, though. Is it button-up or is it a pullover vest, Ella?
Starting point is 00:40:03 I have both. She's gay. Going off everything you've taught me about vest wearers. I have taught you a lot about vests. Namely, producer Claudia. My gaydar is screaming, Ella, that you're gay. She's gay. Ella?
Starting point is 00:40:20 I am. Yes. Yes, you are. I'm on the board. Thanks, Ella. We appreciate you. Let's go to Sam on gaydar. Hi, Sam. Yes, you are. I'm on the board. Thanks, Ella. We appreciate you. Let's go to Sam on Gaydar. Hi, Sam.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Hi, Sam. Sam, are you there? Yeah, can you hear me? There you are. Okay, Sam. We got Sam. Question for you, Sam. How many piercings do you have?
Starting point is 00:40:43 Six total. All in the ears? Yes. Okay. Oh. Interesting. Sandwich you had for lunch? I'm just trying to get a vibe.
Starting point is 00:40:54 This doesn't mean anything. I'm just trying to get a feel for you. I'm trying to just hear a bit of your on-ear so I can get my gaydar going, you know? For lunch, I had a chicken salad sandwich roll. Chicken salad sandwich roll. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's like chicken and mayo with walnut. What's your favourite vegetable? My favourite vegetable? Yeah. I love an epimami. My, my... I'm not getting
Starting point is 00:41:26 I'll just be honest because we've got to be honest in this game. It's all we've got. I'm not getting a gay vibe from Sam. Neither. Really? Oh, I'll be so excited if this is right because I said it first. I'll just say No, don't hit your bits. Go with your
Starting point is 00:41:42 gut. Okay, no. No. Sam, we think you're straight. Correct. Yeah! It was the edamame answer for me. Nothing gay about edamame. Screams heterosexual. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Sam. Although I love an edamame. Thanks, Sam, you big hetero. Let's go to Jess. Hi, Jess. Hi, Jess. Hey, how's it going? Good, thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Question for you, straight out the gate. Who is your female celebrity crush and who is your male celebrity crush? Well, probably at the moment, Chappelle Rhone is my female celebrity crush. Yeah. And my male was, let's go Jason Momoa. Ooh, both good picks. I had it after Chapel Rhone. Like if I, if I.
Starting point is 00:42:35 What are you thinking? I think gay. My gaydar says gay. She took too much time to answer who her male celebrity crush was. And then she kind of just threw it out there. She's like, no, I might as well just go with Jason Momoa. If I had to pick, I guess everyone else says Jason Momoa, so we'll go with that.
Starting point is 00:42:55 So I'm going to say gay. Gay, Jess? You're very correct. Yes! Thank you for playing Gaydar with us. God, you're four from four. I'm three from four. God, we're having a good week.

What would you do if you found out that the person organising the hens or stag do that you were going on was profiting from the hens or stag do. Skimming some off the top, telling everyone it costs more and then keeping the profit. This is a dodgy one. This is a story that I found today. Have a listen to the details.
Starting point is 00:51:54 It says, I have a bachelor party in Las Vegas coming up next weekend and I was excited until we got the price breakdown. It seems overpriced and confusing. One of the groomsmen lives over there and he's actually a Vegas bachelor party planner.
Starting point is 00:52:12 We've heard of those. Okay. Party planners in Las Vegas. Yeah, makes sense. We can get you into this club and we can get you into this club. And they do everything. He claimed he got us really great deals,
Starting point is 00:52:20 but one of his close friends revealed that he's actually making a profit while also charging us extra so he has to pay nothing himself for the stag do i would be fuming i'm now considering opting out i also work in entertainment planning and i would never profit off my friends just last month i spent weeks planning a bachelor party for the same group and we all split the costs evenly. That's what you do for friends, not turn it
Starting point is 00:52:50 into a business opportunity. See, that makes it hard because I was going to say he did organise the whole thing so if he, you know, discounted his a little bit for organising everything, but this guy's saying he did the exact same thing. Am I being
Starting point is 00:53:06 stingy? Should we be covering his costs? Am I an a-hole if I call him out for this? Nah, that's a dog move. It is a dog move. It's meant to be your best friends. Like what you said, I've organised friends' stag do's before, and you still have to pay your share. Of course you do.
Starting point is 00:53:21 But I have given myself a certain luxury, like I made sure I had a bed at the accommodation. I was like, I organised the goddamn stag do, I get a bed. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. That's fair. But I wouldn't be making money out of it.
Starting point is 00:53:35 No, he's making them pay for his. Yes. And he's making a profit on top. And he's getting kickback. Yeah. I'd be fuming. Dog move, eh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:43 So what do you do? Do you hit the guy up publicly in the group chat? Do you talk to him on the side and go, hey, or do you just not bother? If I think give him a chance so I don't stoop to his level, I pull him aside first and say, hey, I've found this out, and just see how he reacts. Be like, look, not cool. The right thing to do is probably, you know, give everyone's money back.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Look, you can say that you've gotten a discount on something and then distribute the money back to everyone and it can stay between us. Yeah. And then just see what he does. And then if he doesn't do anything about it, then you out him can stay between us. Yeah. And then just see what he does. And then if he doesn't do anything about it, then you out him in the group chat. Yeah. Makes the whole thing real awkward though, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:54:32 It really does. And that's a way to avoid. The awkwardness. Yeah, you give him a chance first. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:54:42 It's kind of cursed information. Like I'd rather have just not known. I'd rather not know. You know, and then pay and go, oh, this is expensive, but then you never know. I wonder if that's happened to anyone. Yeah, I wonder if it happened to Ella's hen's party over the weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Did everyone pay up Ella? Well, she wouldn't have been collecting the money. No. No, people paid themselves. Your sister was carrying around a lot of cash and so was producer Claude actually. What? I may have skimmed a little off the top. Excuse me?
Starting point is 00:55:15 The ZM Podcast Network. The NASA astronauts are finally back. They're back. After nine not planned months in space, they have touched down in the Gulf of America, just off of Tallahassee in Florida.
Starting point is 00:55:33 They landed and dolphins were swimming around them. Yeah, pretty amazing welcome home, eh? Yeah, well, about time NASA put on a bit of a show because they deserve it after nine extra months in space that weren't planned. Were they meant to be there for four days or something? I think it was a week. A week. Yeah, they were meant to be there for about a week
Starting point is 00:55:53 and it's been nine months. I'd be so pissed off. But I wonder this all the time because we've had semi-regular updates about the astronauts. Would we have been so interested if it wasn't a man and a woman astronaut stuck up there? Oh, it made it very complicated, I think. Doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:56:11 Because both of them, I believe, have partners on Earth and they told their partners, I'll be gone for a week. Yeah. And the partners were fine with that. And then next minute they're up there for nine months with this other person. Are you guys familiar with the term trauma bonding? Yes. Where you bond with someone over a shared trauma.
Starting point is 00:56:34 That's them. That's nine months. That's all they had for nine months was trauma bonding. They were stuck in a capsule in outer space as far away from everybody they know and love as they could possibly be and all they had was each other. Nothing brings you closer together than a bit of trauma bonding. It's the only bonding I do. Yeah. It's the one that means the most.
Starting point is 00:56:54 So can you imagine? They could die at any minute. Yeah. They could die at any minute. They need to make the most of their time left on Earth. I mean left in space. Do you want to die wondering? There's all the ways you justify it to yourself, hey?
Starting point is 00:57:10 What if we never... There's going to be some very... What if I never feel the embrace of another human being ever again? It's going to be some very tough conversations, I think. I've thought at length about the situation because, yes, they are up there. Yes, they are alone. But at the same time, there must be a camera.
Starting point is 00:57:28 There must be multiple cameras operating in there and audio transmitting back to Earth because if something suddenly happens, mission control need to know exactly what's happening. And what if mission control just hears one of the astronauts put on some romantic music on Spotify? Can you get Spotify in space? Or a CD, whatever he took up there.
Starting point is 00:57:47 And you just hear the space suit. And then you hear, oh, Sonny. Houston, I've got a boner. Play ZM's Brianne Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
