I don't recommend it.
I'm hoping to do that.
I hated every second of it.
Oh, I can't wait then.
I quite enjoyed Tongariro crossing, but I said that to my wife and she said, are you
stupid?
I hated it. One, the main but I said that to my wife and she said, Are you stupid? I hated it.
One, the main reason I didn't like it,
there was so many people.
Oh, it's really busy these days, isn't it?

We are all tied up here in the sixth.
What a game for a Tuesday.
Here it comes, the last question.

It couldn't get much tighter than that but boys you've come away with the win and 50 bucks nice work.
Thank you. It was all Ben. He listens every day. It was all Jimmy I mean. It was all Jimmy.
All Jimmy. Long time listener, first time caller, hold the damn phone.
He's come through in the clutch. And what a way to be a first timetime caller to win tradie versus lady well done lads
Are you someone who's good at RSVPing?
It's gonna sound like a cop-out. Yeah, my wife usually does it for us, right?
Yeah, so you don't have to think about it, but there's stuff here at work that like a cop out. Yeah. My wife usually does it for us. Right. Yeah.
So you don't have to think about it.
But there's stuff here at work that we get invited to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll do that.
Do you RSVP?
Yeah.
They make it very easy.
You just click yes or no on the email.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They do make it easy.
I feel like.
I usually, this is bad too.
I usually just click yes and then deal with it later.
What do you mean?
Like I'll just go, yeah, like Claudia will send us through all kinds of stuff like interviews or meetings mean? Like I'll just go, yeah, Claudia will send us
through all kinds of stuff, like interviews
or meetings or things, and I'll just go, yeah.
Wait, you don't read those?
No, I'll just deal with them on the day.
I know you'll remind me later.
That's true.
You are very good at reminding us.
Clint's actually really good at RSVPing
because you'll ask him if he wants to go
and he just says no straight away.
Yeah, I feel like you're pretty like definite.
You're like, nah, not going to that.
As someone who has organised a few social events
for my friend group, it is very frustrating
when people don't RSVP in a timely manner.
Because you're trying to plan numbers, right?
You're trying to organise things.
Which is like the cost comes into it and certain activities. Number of bids. Yes, all that kind of stuff. And I don't
care if it's yes or no, but just RSVP. I just need to know. An answer. Yeah, yeah. I agree.
There's a mum that's going viral at the moment. In People are 50-50 about which side that they're
on. Okay. When she has forgotten to RSVP for
her son who got invited to a kid's birthday party. And then, well, the
family decided that they would just say that the party was cancelled. Take a
listen.
Put a finger down if one of your children got invited to a party, you text one of
their parents on the invitation, bearing in mind it was a couple
of weeks later saying that your child was really looking forward to coming for them
to respond and say the party had now been cancelled. This said party took place yesterday
all of my child's friends were texting him so the parent loyed and said the party was
cancelled. Like they all go to the same school what did you think was going to happen? I
think it's disgusting behaviour.
She Lloyd.
The mother Lloyd.
Sounds like a character from Little Britain.
Okay, my first take.
Yes.
That woman sounds like a punish.
I reckon they just didn't want her at the birthday party.
They're like, oh, we can deal with the kid,
but what kind of person goes on social media to call out another parent
from school?
If you think it was awkward at school, pick up.
Oh my god.
It's going to be very awkward after this video has gone viral.
It is an example of how lying catches you out though.
They should have just been honest.
They should have said, hey, sorry, we asked you to RSVP by this date.
It's a booked thing.
It's probably at a go-kart place or something.
Yeah, see that's a totally fair enough response.
It's fixed numbers, we've booked it now, we're full.
We didn't hear from you.
Yeah, we wanted you there but sorry it's all full now.
Yeah, tough titties.
Yeah, apparently, because I looked into it more, the person that lied, they doubled down
on the lie, because this woman asked her, why has it been canceled?
And the woman said that the venue that they had booked
got double booked.
And so their party got canceled.
We talk about this a lot in our show.
What she's done is she's given up the moral high ground.
The mum having the party has given up
the moral high ground by lying.
Exactly, you've lost your power.
She's opened herself up to criticism because before that she was in the right.
Yes.
Hey, I'm so sorry.
You've missed the time to RSVP.
You've missed the cutoff.
We'll save you some cake or something.
I hope to see you there next year.
If you RSVP late, you RSVP late, you know?
But you can't lie.
How awkward.
If you're gonna lie, you've gotta get all the kids
and all the other parents in on the lie.
And you've gotta go, when everyone gets to the party,
you've gotta go into the party room and you go,
nothing leaves this party.
No photos, no text messages, nothing.
God, that sounds like an absolute riot.
Invite me to that party.
Have you never had a secret party before?
I've been to a secret-
Where they're like, don't tell such and such?
Weekend away, yes.
Where certain people were invited.
And it was only because there was only enough room,
and obviously that person was Claudia.
Didn't make the cut.
No it wasn't Claudia!
How dare you?
She's going to second guess and they'll actually think we had a secret weekend away.
Do you guys have a group chat without me?
Well yes we do have that.
We definitely have that.
I need to plan your birthday present and stuff.
Put it in the secret group chat that Claudia's not in. Yeah, we definitely have that. I need to plan your birthday present and stuff. Put it in the secret group chat that Claudia's not in.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, just put it in there, we can discuss.
What's it called?
Does it have a fun name?
No Claudia's allowed.
Very creative. Claudia Friso.
Claudia smells.
The real friends group chat.
For those that don't know, I have recently become a dog owner, a dog guy.
How long?
Six months.
Six months ago.
We've had the dog for six months. He's three and a half. He's huge. He's a golden retriever.
How many kilos?
He's 40, but we're on a weight loss journey. I reckon he's a little bit less now.
Aren't we all? Yeah, aren't we all?
He's on a restricted diet.
I feel like as a new dog owner,
I'm about to fall into a trap
that you've already fallen into before.
We had a puppy come over, a friend's puppy come over
for like a play date yesterday.
Very cute golden retriever puppy.
Should be, how old are they when they're allowed
to leave the nest? 10. 10 weeks? Yeah. This puppy's probably... Eight to ten weeks. Thirteen weeks
old. Very cute. Very small. And my dog just lit up. It's like a different dog. He had
so much fun with her. Yeah, he tried to hump her once or twice, but you know, we sorted
that out. Okay, we sorted that out very quickly. We said, not yet bro, play it cool, play the long game.
And afterwards, all my wife and I have talked about is,
do we need to get a dog for our dog?
And so now within the space of six months,
I'm at risk of going from having no dogs
to potentially getting two dogs.
And my question is, does my dog need a dog?
I mean, dogs do love company.
Yeah.
They do.
They're definitely a pack animal.
Yeah.
You know?
And they love having company and you feel less guilty
when you leave them at home.
Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
So yes, there's a lot of pros. To getting another dog. To getting another dog. You did it what I'm worried about. So yes there's a lot of pros to getting
another dog. To getting another dog. You did it. You got one dog. Yeah. And then
you got another dog. Mm-hmm. And? Would you get a puppy? I don't know.
Ideally not but it's very cute. Puppy was very cute. Puppies I don't I think I will
avoid I mean I don't even want to talk about where my dogs go because
I can't even because I'll cry. Sometimes I just think about how... After they go. After they go.
Sometimes I just think about how they've only got this. I can't even think about it anyway,
but I will never ever get another puppy. Yeah, right. Because it's too hard. Nightmare. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Absolute nightmare. And I've never had a puppy. This dog that we adopted, he was three.
Oh, you don't even know.
Nah.
He came basically with a diploma.
He was so grown up.
It is a nightmare.
Yeah, yeah.
Do not recommend.
Your life will be living hell for months.
Claudia, you're a one dogger.
You were never tempted to go double doggie.
Oh, I would love to get a second dog,
but I mean, I'm not in a position to, so I won't,
but I feel like my dog would love having another dog around.
Your dog would love a dog.
All dogs would, eh.
Yeah, but it's not on the cards at the moment.
Yeah, Ella, you've got a mature family dog.
Yep, 12 years old.
Has he ever had a dog?
She has not.
She has not had a dog.
No.
Hey, sorry for misgendering your dog, by the way.
That's okay, Clint.
You did not know.
But, oh, you go, Bree.
I was just saying, someone on the text machine said
I got my dog a cat.
Oh, you already have one though.
I talked about this on my Instagram account yesterday
and I got this message from someone,
which could be a cautionary tale,
but could be like a Sky's the Limit type situation.
They said, I got my cat a cat.
And she didn't like him because it turns out
my cat doesn't like cats.
So I got the second cat a cat and now I have three cats.
I guess what I'm trying to say is maybe you'll end up with three dogs and a cat
because we already have a cat. Or two dogs and three cats
because you felt sorry for your cat because she didn't get a friend as well.
Because if we get the dog a dog do we have to get the cat a cat?
Oh my gosh it keeps going.
I will say as well when you put dogs together they are way more mischievous.
Oh yeah.
They get together and they obviously feel like you know because they have their little buddy.
Yeah yeah. They can get away with anything.
They get into more trouble and they create more chaos. Double the fur, double the pose, double the chewed up stuff,
double the trouble, but double the fun
and double the cuteness.
Of course, it's a dog.
Someone said though, here's a bit of advice.
I wanted a puppy, promised to look after it, feed it.
We got the puppy, he was cute and now I hate him.
What?
And I hate looking after him.
Now we have three bloody dogs and he's my least favourite.
Okay what I'm hearing is do not get a puppy. But maybe I could get another dog.
SPCA? Yeah, get a rescue. Rescue, rescue. So many adult dogs that need a home.
And let us come and visit.
And then your dog will have an adult friend.
Because trust me, your dog would get over the puppy vibes.
Oh really?
It's like anything.
Adult dogs eventually are like, oh this younger dog is so annoying.
Maybe we'll just offer that other puppy to come around and visit every now and then.
You could do that too.
It's a lot more cost effective too.
ZN's Brian Clint. The Tea. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean a lot of stars were at the Bezo Sweating but how much was the wedding?
Oh my goodness I hope you're sitting down wherever you are pull up your car because it was a $50 million wedding. Let me set the scene for you. So what do you get for $50 million?
I heard Elton John and Lady Gaga performed.
That is what I've heard.
I haven't had it confirmed.
It might've been like a secret performance or something,
but that is what I heard here in town.
Lauren Bezos, I guess it is now,
she had 27 different outfit changes.
27 outfit changes.
Everyone was floating on private jet.
Like we didn't see any of this
because it was done so stealth and so well planned.
But they had, like they would do groups of people
that were kind of friends.
So like they'd have like Oprah
and like her little group of friends would do one jet.
Then you'd have the Kardashians did another jet.
They all got floating on jets from all around the world.
People, did you see those, so people in Venice were very upset about this, there was lots of protests,
because it was, the protest was around the extreme excess of wealth, you know, spent, you know, so
yeah, that's what the protest was around, like really? So yeah, like they had a good time.
Like Leonardo Capri was there,
Orlando Bloom was there.
Apparently he was photographed with Sydney Sweeney.
I don't think anything's happening there.
I think that's a photo.
You know, Ellie Goulding was there.
I bet she didn't take that guy that cheated on her.
I bet he'd be kicking himself.
He'd be standing by.
What's his name?
You would have loved to have been there, Aiden.
God, you really need to kick a pill on that. You would have been like have been there, Aideen. God, you really need to be on there.
You would have been like a pig in shit
if you were at that wedding.
I was gagged.
I was like, why didn't I go and become a valet in Italy
in a week or something?
You have to be a boat valet because it's in Venice.
Yeah, literally, on the water.
To put it into context as well, $50 million
and people will be thinking,
oh, there would have been a thousand people there was you were saying there's only 200 people that
was only a 200 person wedding I mean that's a big wedding by anybody's
standards but but for a guy who's worth 237 billion dollars it's not that much
really as well as friends though like how much is that per head you know you'd
always do it's two and at the wedding? 50 million?
It's two and a half million dollars.
No, no it's not. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no God, you'd be wanting both options like steak and fish. I'll have both.
Imagine the bar tab right now.
And Chief Peasless is like, cash bar now guys, cash bar.
Cashy bar, they're still beer and wine.
I'll tell you one interesting fun fact about it.
So one person who was there was Donald Trump's daughter,
Oh, Ivanka?
Yeah, Ivanka.
So her being there, you'd think that the security would have already been excessive,
but she actually had to have an extra security detail.
Like, there was millions and millions spent on security.
Yeah, the whole thing's disgusting.
The guy doesn't pay any tax.
It's outrageous.
It's insane. It's the most gratuitous display of excess the world has ever seen.
And I don't think there were any cool moments that came from it.
So not really.
Dad Am's Brian Clint podcast.
Welcome to a new segment which we're labelling the most negative, negative radio game in the country.
It's all negative.
On the airwaves.
It's called Haters in the Building.
Haters in the building.
Yeah. It's all negativity. On the airwaves. It's called Haters in the Building. Haters in the building. Yeah!
Based off yesterday's conversation
where everybody texts in the thing
that they just can't get behind,
like our producer Claudia, who hates art.
Just full stop. Just art.
I hate art. She's outright, she hates art.
Just a deep art, OK?
I like surface level art.
Oh yeah, she doesn't like arty art.
That's her day, you don't like arty art.
Pretentious art. That's her day, you don't like arty art.
Pretentious art. So we're offering three spaces for haters in the building this afternoon
and the first one is going to you Celia. Hi Celia. Hi Celia. Hello, how are you going?
Good thanks. What do you hate Celia? Okay so you're watching a movie or a TV show and
the actors have empty takeaway coffee cups. Oh!
Pretending that they're filled with coffee.
You can tell, eh Celia?
Yeah.
I hate it.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's bad acting or bad props department.
I think both.
Do you reckon you could-
Oh, totally both.
Do you reckon you could-
Just look at them down and you can hear that they're empty.
But do you reckon like you could act like you had a full cup, Bri?
No.
I don't think so. It's weird, eh?
And that's just not even like physically, also emotionally, couldn't either.
Couldn't act like you had a full cup.
Okay, thank you Celia, we appreciate it.
Do you feel better?
All good.
There's a new segment.
Oh, so much better.
You feel better?
Yeah, thank you.
Good Celia.
We've actually just had a spot open up.
We're only giving three spots.
We've just had one spot open up, if you would like it on 0800 dials at M. But Cameron's here.
Hi Cameron. Hi Cameron.
Good afternoon. How are we? Are you usually a hater or is it just this one thing that
just sends you into a tizzy? I'll keep that as a maybe.
Got it. Got it. Okay. We don't need to know the background. We just need to know what do you hate right now?
The easiest way to explain it is cyclists that ride on the road.
I'm sorry, being a truck driver and working in town.
We build bicycle lanes for all the bikes out there.
They don't even use the things.
You reckon you see cyclists just not even using
the bike lanes?
Yeah, I nearly hit one this morning.
Well don't do that.
Don't do that, Cameron.
No, I don't.
It's not on purpose.
I don't aim to, but they're just idiotic
and don't know how to ride a bike.
They come out of nowhere.
Yeah, yeah.
I just hold my horn down, mate. They move. I bet. Yeah, yeah. I just hold my horn down mate, they move.
I bet they do, Ken.
Do you feel a bit better, Ken?
Yeah, yeah, until tomorrow morning to us then.
Until you see another god damn sight.
That all the hate will come back.
Yeah, yeah, fair enough.
We can't help, we can't help with that.
No we can't.
We can only relieve the pressure.
For now.
For now.
For now, which is good to get it off your chest
like Alicia's gonna do.
Hi Alicia.
How are you?
We're good, you're our final hater of the afternoon.
Oh, that's exciting.
What are you hating on, Alicia?
When you're in the car, driving, listening to music,
and the passenger princess is scrolling
Facebook videos on loud.
Oh!
My wife does this all the time.
She describes it. You're live!
She describes it as her one floor.
Her one floor?
She'll interrupt the music with her Instagram reels.
Oh!
Yeah, I know.
I can't stand it. I know, I know.
You're like, I am here.
I am sacrificing myself to drive safely and carefully
while you just sit there doing whatever you want interrupting the only bit of joy I get on this road trip the
music yeah that's the feeling isn't it Alisha? 100%. Is it you that does it or
are you not the passenger princess? Oh no I, I'm always the driver. Oh Nice Alicia. No, it's nice. Um, thanks Alicia. We appreciate it. No way. Sweetest
I
Really like this one that's come through on the text machine
I know we said three spots, but these are tech so it doesn't count. Someone said I hate diarrhea
Yeah I hate diarrhea. Yeah. Well, it's relatable, isn't it?
It's relatable.
There's certain, I feel like I hate certain types of diarrhea more than others.
Oh, no, we don't need to drill into that one.
No, but you know like surprise?
You know like when's the surprise?
And like you don't know and then it's too late.
Alright. The ZM Podcast Network. Our producer Claudia came to us with a
flatting conundrum. She said can you hook up with your flatmates? Yeah. And you guys
said yeah better not. She said can I save rent by screwing the crew we can we can share a room do I
only occupy one spot on the chores roster if I'm sleeping with a flatmate
yeah if I'm out all the time do I have to do chores yeah yeah yeah it's great
it's great question the conundrum is so the one of my flatmates is moving out so
if you know what's it you deliver me I've got a room coming up message me. No, it wasn't my fault. It's apparently he wants to save money. Okay
Now is who has to fill the room that he's leaving from oh
I have a strong opinion about it
Ella about it and we have very different opinions. My first question
My first question I need to know and we have very different opinions. And I thought there was one option. Same!
My first question I need to know,
so we have the information is,
how long is his lease?
Like is he breaking the lease early?
Technically, I think it's one of those indefinite
not timed leases he can just go and ever.
Right, so he can just leave whenever.
It wouldn't be a sublet.
You're in a situation where people have moved in and out and in and out, and no one has
been there for the same amount of time, right?
You didn't all move into that flat together at the same time.
No, we were a bunch of randoms.
Tricky.
Yes.
Why is it tricky?
My thing straight away would be your flatmate would need to find someone to cover his room
or take his room.
And I think that's weird.
I don't think so. I don't straight away, I think that's weird.
I don't think so.
He's not going to be there.
It has nothing to do with him after he leaves that flat.
He's out.
Did he give you a fair amount of notice?
Yes, he's given four weeks notice.
There you go.
There's a whole month and he's pretty flexible with it too.
So he doesn't need to leave at a specific time.
So there is time.
I would say, and as hard as it is, it has to be a
joint decision with all the remaining tenants. I agree. I think the people that remain in
the house are the ones that are responsible to find it. So you're going to be living with
them. Exactly right. So Ella, your theory that the person moving out has to fill the
room is probably the worst because they have no interest, care factor about who goes into
that room.
They have no skin in the game anymore.
No, no, no.
All they want to do is fill the room so that they can stop paying the rent on it.
They could put a psychopath in that room with Claudia and it's not their problem anymore.
I agree.
So this is the way you do it.
You would, as the person leaving, put it up on Facebook group pages,
take this flat, da da da, all that info,
organise the people to come around,
and then you let the flatmates know,
hey, I've got about five people coming,
can some of you be there?
You guys get the overall say.
So they do all the admin and then we get to make the calls.
Unfortunately, I just don't think it's that person's
responsibility. Really? That's what I did. I think it's that person's responsibility.
That's what I did.
I think it's their responsibility to give a fair amount of warning.
I think four weeks is the minimum.
Yeah, I think that's not a heme of time.
I thought two weeks would have been the minimum.
No, you can't split and go in two weeks because it doesn't give the other flatmates long enough
to organise.
You need longer.
Because you also got to give the existing flatmates the opportunity to re-calibrate
and go, well do we want to fill that room or do we want to absorb that person's rent
and have a games room?
Yeah.
Oh I would love a games room.
Yeah.
I thought you said a gays room then.
I was like that sounds fun.
Oh I thought that's what we said.
Sure.
Again, if that's how the flatmates want to recalibrate, then that is an opportunity
that you have, you know?
You know?
Yeah, that is a discussion.
I've got that covered with my room.
We're good.
You're in the gays' room.
I've got the gays' room.
It's actually red.
It's painted red.
Yeah, it's the most fabulous room in the house.
I thought your room was the red room.
It is literally the red room.
Saucy.
Yeah, I don't think it's the person who's leaving's responsibility.
That's wild.
This whole time in my life, 25, four years.
How many times have you flood it?
One, two, three, four, five?
Four.
Wow.
And I've always found a replacement.
Are you counting all the times you move back
to your mum's house?
Yeah, living with your mum isn't flooding.
Your mum isn't counted as a flatmate.
Does your mum make you fill the room
when you move out of home each time?
No, we got a Swedish person living in the inner.
Did you find them on the car?
Did you have to find them?
No.
Someone said on the text machine, they said,
it would be like resigning,
then doing interviews for your replacement.
Exactly.
Resigning?
Resigning, sorry.
Resigning.
Resigning.
It's the same word.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it just doesn't work.
I feel like as the remaining flatmate, I would rather do the admin and find a non-weirdo.
There's caveats though. Like if the person took the room and then two months later was like,
I'm out of here, then they have kind of left you in the lurch.
That is different.
I feel like there's kind of an obligation on them to keep contributing for a bit until you find somebody.
But even then, not really.
Within reason.
Yeah.
Because every time I've had a flatmate move out
or I've moved out of a flat,
I've given the four weeks notice and it's always the case,
the rest of the flat are like,
oh, we better get onto that, we better sort it out.
No one does.
No one does until like the week you're moving out.
And then like, oh God, we don't have anyone to fill Clint's room. That is
when it is great to live with a type A person. An organiser. Yeah. Yeah. But
probably the only time it's good to live with a type A person. Now if you like
your bills paid on time. Oh that's good too. Yeah. No actually there's a lot of
gross. If you like your grocery shopping done once a week. Yeah. Yeah. Toilet paper stocked up. If you like the flat, clean, organised.
If you're skimming a bit of money
off the top of the flat account, it's not good.
Because they notice everything.
It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast.
Let's get classical. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh It's Mam Brie versus Ella guessing pop songs that have been reimagined in a
classical style. Claudia you used to work for the National Broadcaster Radio New
Zealand. Do you think that you would be able to sneak one of these classic cool
remixes on to like Concert FM with the with the listeners of Concert Notice if
they were actually listening to Benson Boone on a piano. I think if I chose the right one because some of them have like layers
There's like pianos and violins and just like a whole orchestra. Yeah, you could totally get away with it
It's wild to think of why this game came about on our show and it's because when the big bosses remember
Do you guys remember this they came down and they said look
Your guys show is pretty lowbrow. Yeah
They came down and they said, look, your guys' show is pretty lowbrow. Yeah.
They did say that.
We need something to class it up a little bit.
We need to make it a bit more sophisticated.
They called us gutter trash.
They did.
And they were spot on the money, I reckon.
Got kicked in the stomach.
But fun fact, this has brought up our prestige and class level, I think at least half a point.
And the average age.
Yeah.
We drink coffees with our pinky up now.
Okay Claudia, let's get into this game.
Okay cool, you guys know the rules, buzz in with your name, I need the artist and the
name of the song.
First team slash Ella to two points takes home the win.
Are we ready?
Oh I'm nervous.
Ready. Good luck, I've Oh, I'm nervous. Ready.
Good luck, I've made it fun this week.
Ready.
Breathe.
Breathe.
It's one or the other.
I'm gonna go anxiety dochi.
And you'd be right.
Come on.
Oh, that's worth the gamble.
Somebody is watching me, is my anxiety.
Anxiety, anxiety, put your heart on.
My anxiety was through the roof on that one time
That's fast from you, I didn't even hear it
I heard it straight away
Oh yeah, would have got it there, yeah yeah
But this way around it just sounds like Baba Black Sheep
I can't hear anything else
Baba Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yeah right, okay Yes sir, yes sir.
Okay one point to Team Brian Clint, here's another song.
Ella!
Holy!
Whoa!
Vampire, La Vie en Rigo.
Yes!
Yeah.
That was good.
Oh we are fast this week guys.
Yeah.
That was so quick Ella. For those who want the
opportunity to actually play.
Did everybody have that music teacher at school which kind of led the singing
assemblies where they could recreate any song on the piano and they're like
here's where you need to be singing it
what did you have that at your school? No! Oh we did. That's so cool. We had music teachers with beds.
Shout out Mrs. Tewihi if you're listening. My music teacher was hot.
Miss Hennessey. Oh yeah. Okay one piece one point a piece. Yeah one point a piece
this is your last song. Good luck.
That is raw Katy Perry.
It sure is.
That's what I was going to say too.
You're a referee in this game like Ford.
Time out.
Are you even playing?
Time out Ella.
He's a good support system for me.
We're a team.
I'm like a good bra.
Sophie, well done.
You correctly picked team Breanne-Clinnen.
You've got 50k of sea chicken dollars coming your way.
Well done, Sophie.
Hey, thank you so much.
Never doubted you.
Did you?
Yes.
We could feel it, Sophie.
We believe you.
Did you get any of those songs?
I did.
I got anxiety.
I feel like that one was easy.
Don't we all, so she always got anxiety.
Can I go home?
No, I didn't get the other one.
Yeah, Ella was so quick.
That was very impressive on the Olivia Rodrigo.
Yeah, I was so excited.
I was so excited.
I was so excited.
I was so excited. I was so excited. I was so excited. I was so. Yeah Ella was so quick.
That was very impressive on the Olivia Rodrigo.
Not good enough though.
That's a red card.
Clint, our team is humble.
We're humble.
He's not humble.
But next week she'll be back.
Thanks Sophie for listening.
We'll get that cave C out to you, babe.
Thanks guys.
See ya.
Good luck baby.
Good luck baby.
Good luck baby.
Good luck baby.
Clint, you're the hero of the video.
You're the hero of the video.
We are humble, our team is humble.
He just did the finger at me.
He did the double finger.
You're on a sin bin, get out of here. You can't prove that.
It's ZM's Brinklin podcast.
This lotto story is from Norway.
It's about the Norwegian lotto.
What are they doing over in the Norwegian Powerball?
First of all, pop quiz, what does the Norwegian flag look like?
We talk a bit on this show about how we we can't really tell the difference between
Norway
Sweden
Switzerland and
But I can picture the Finland Finland Finland in there. You know what sucks is Austria
I can picture the Swedish flag, which is red and white read with a white cross
Yeah, red with a white cross. No is it not?
No no no that's the one I'm sure of it's a blue background with a yellow cross.
Oh blue background yellow cross is who? Sweden. I thought that was... Oh we're doing Switzerland
is Switzerland white cross red background. Yeah white square red cross. Oh yeah cause Swiss army knife.
We've never sounded dumb enough. Sorry so back to my point. What's the Norwegian flag, guys?
Red, blue, and white, like red backgrounds.
Blue and white cross.
Blue cross with white outline.
Yeah.
Wait.
Oh yeah, okay.
I mean, they're pretty close.
Is Finland yellow with blue cross?
Yes.
Google Finland.
I actually don't know.
Yes. Finland yellow blue cross. No, white blue cross. Google, Finland. I actually don't know. Yes!
Finland, yellow, blue cross.
No, white, blue cross.
White, blue cross.
White, blue cross.
Over my colors.
Who's yellow, blue cross?
Yellow, blue cross flag.
Yeah, who's that?
Swedish.
No, he did that the other way around.
What the hell?
Inverted.
Oh my God, I'm so confused.
Inverted.
Guys, did we just fall into some weird matrix glitch?
All those flags are pretty much the same,
but colours are interchangeable.
Yeah.
I think that might be on purpose.
It's so dumb.
What do you mean it's on purpose?
Because they're all in Scandinavia, right?
They're all neighbours.
Oh, don't come at us with that Claudia.
We don't know.
They also have their own identity. Nah, they're all the same. Just because they were all in Scandinavia doesn't mean they
don't want all unique flags. Where's Ikea from?
Sweden. And they're blue and yellow.
Blue and yellow. Which is the colours of Ikea.
So back to the Norwegian lottery. Major. And the Norwegian flag is? Red with a blue cross
with a white outline. Nice! They've had a major issue with their lottery over there.
A whole lot of people were told they won a whole lot of money, but they didn't. These
numbers are crazy. Holy. These numbers are crazy. These numbers are crazy.
They published the incorrect prize amounts
from people that won one of the lower divisions in the lotto.
They sent a notification out to 47,000 people.
They not only posted the wrong amount,
they sent a notification to everyone.
47,000 people.
They told them that they had each won 1.2 million kroner which is
the equivalent of a hundred and ninety five thousand New Zealand dollars instead
of what that actually won which was 125 kroner or the equivalent of 20 New
Zealand dollars they they were told they'd won $200,000. That actually won 20 bucks.
Oh my god, I'm fuming for them.
I don't- I'm fuming!
I don't understand how that happens, but essentially-
Someone had a bad day at work is what happened.
The prize money, to calculate their winnings,
the prize money was meant to be divided by 100.
Right.
And the person multiplied it by a hundred.
Do you reckon that person's coming in on Monday?
No.
I think that person's going to find another job.
Oh yeah, true.
Is that strike one?
Is that a written warning?
Yeah.
How does that work?
Yeah, like if I'd mucked up that badly,
is that me getting fired?
Yeah, you've gone.
Is that like Ella giving away the secret sounds?
Yeah, too early. What would you guys rather? what would you rather, would you rather be that person where
you've completely ruined a lot of people's I mean because how excited would you have been a lot a
lot of excited people? Emotional roller coaster. You've changed people's lives with that amount of money.
$200,000, yeah.
Would you rather be that person
where it's just like a short amount of time
where you know that you have completely destroyed people?
Yeah.
Or would you rather be a parking warden for life?
Or a tow truck driver.
Yeah, or a tow truck driver.
I was wondering where that was going.
Which one would you rather?
Tow truck.
I think I'd rather be the...
Toe track.
It's hard because a toe track driver is to serve a purpose.
They also rescue people.
Can I just say...
But parking wardens, it's not personal this comment,
but you just know that you are going to work every day and you are hated.
You ruin people's lives and I understand you've got a job to do,
but you know what pisses me off even more these days is that the slimy
parking warnings don't even get out of their car these days.
They drive around in that little car with all the cameras, the 360 cameras.
We've got a camera car in Auckland now.
Oh, God.
And very shortly it'll be an autonomous robot, which is good because then we won't have a person to hate. We'll hate the robot.
Outside of your profession, I'm sure I'd get along with you and I would like you. But when you're in that profession, I hate you with a passion.
We need to get those meter maids that they've got on the Gold Coast, those bikini babes that go around and put money in the meters for people.
How good. I mean, they'd be a bit cold. They'd in Auckland, yeah. They'd be a little bit cold, yeah.
This next story is for anyone who doesn't really enjoy
being corrected when they say a word wrong,
which is probably everyone, isn't it?
I think it's everyone.
It's everyone.
Especially in a public setting, like...
Like in a meeting?
Like in a meeting or like...
Or on a radio broadcast.
On a radio national broadcasted show.
Fair, it's fair, it's fair.
According to a new report,
the people who criticise other people's pronunciation
are often guilty of snobbery and hypocrisy.
Hey, you said it.
It says more about the person doing the correcting
than it does the person who made the silly whoopsie in the first place.
Yeah.
Dr. Amanda Cole is a linguist at Essex University and she said
mispronunciation is a part of how the English language evolves. People getting words wrong
collectively is how the English language takes shape. It moves, it changes
over time and she says that if something is mispronounced enough, eventually that
becomes the correct pronunciation of the word. Yeah, mikrowave is a great
example. If enough people start saying mikrowave, that's what it will be
called and history will go in the 2000s people
referred to the micro wave as a microwave and people would go what a
stupid name for the macro wave yeah it's not a microwave microwave it's always
been micro wave everyone knows it's micro wave look I'll be honest I feel
like you're the biggest offender of this.
Like in my whole life actually, like in my circle of friends, I feel like you are
the leader of correcting me. And not just me, I feel like you love correcting
anyone that is around that slightly mispronounces something. Well, I want
everybody to be the best version of themselves they can be.
Is that the reason? Or...
I want to bring everybody up.
Or do you want to make yourself look smart?
Perhaps, but...
I have an opportunity for you this afternoon.
Okay.
Okay?
I have put together something I'm calling Breeze,
Can You Say These words good? Quiz?
Oh this is going to be a disaster.
A list of commonly mispronounced words, words that are commonly mispronounced by people,
and some that are just commonly mispronounced by you.
Okay? You will receive the word, you are allowed to ask for a definition if you don't know the words.
You will pronounce the word, I will not correct you.
You're not allowed to say a word.
I will not say anything.
You're not allowed to say anything.
I will not say anything at all.
Okay, do you know that, and have you corrected me before
with any of these words?
Some of these I have, some of these people have.
Okay.
Okay.
So when we're ready Claudia, you can kick off the slideshow with the first word.
I do like having the floor where he can't correct me.
The palace of Versailles.
Otherwise known as the palace of Versailles.
Which I think still I stand by it's better.
Palace of Versailles.
No comment.
The hyper, hyperbole? Hyperbole. Hyperbole. Do you know the word? No idea. Would you like a definition? Yeah, definition
please. Someone who exaggerates and likes to indulge in? Hyperbole. Great. Hyperbole. Word number three. Word number three. Foygra. A definition? A food
product made from the liver of duck and geese. Pate. No, this is specifically one that's been fattened up. It would be...
Foie gras.
Very good, very good, very good.
Okay, next one.
Next.
Oh, I know this one.
This one's easy.
Definition?
An embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social situation.
Is a faux pas.
Not to be confused with a faux pas which is very different
these are commonly mispronounced words that i will not correct Brie on the pronunciation
the next one is a fashion designer that you enjoy wearing a lot yes um otherwise known as
known as a neen bing isn't it you love a neen bing yeah it's killing him okay next word a definition something that is irritating and causes... frustrating that's frustrating
frustrating frustrating how am I say it?
frustrating it's quite frustrating
however you want to say it today is correct
frustrating I think it's frustrating I do say frustrating I like my way better. However you want to say it today is correct. Okay, frustrating.
I think it's frustrating.
I do say frustrating, don't I?
How many more have we got, Claudia?
No, no, I want to get...
Okay, I reckon I got this one, but do you have a definition?
Okay, yes.
Having the same meaning as another word or phrase in the same language.
Synonymous?
Well done. I mean, sure.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Obviously that one was right.
I'm not commenting.
Okay, I feel like people correct you on this one.
Performance.
What a performance.
Lovely.
Okay.
I don't know if I'm getting them right or wrong.
Okay.
Oh, I think I got this one, but a definition?
An act of speaking one's thoughts aloud, a technique often used by Shakespeare.
A soliloquy?
A soliloquy.
Got it.
Soliloquy.
That's actually pretty good, yeah.
Yes.
I feel like I had some good ones.
I had some not so good ones.
And I feel like I had some good ones, I had some not so good ones, and I feel like I improved
some.
Is that the end of the list, Claude?
That's the end of the list.
Well done.
Thank you guys!
Thank you!
That was Bree's list of words that she may or may not be able to say good.
And if you correct someone for mispronunciation, we've learned you are the a-hole.
Yeah. You're a bit of a snob.
Yeah.
And stop doing it.
What did the study say? You're guilty of snobbery and hypocrisy.
Yeah. Just let it go.
Go, man.
Let it go. There's bigger problems.
No matter how frustrating it is.
It is very frustrating.
I'm glad you brought that to my attention. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha last week while you were away. Yes. You'll be excited to know. No luck. Hey not to
obviously want you guys to do well obviously want to see you guys succeed.
Yes. But I would have been devastated. We said the same thing. We were like should
we intentionally throw it? Because you need to be here for the big reveal. But we
said no that's not in the spirit of the game. No that is not the game. It was
so I'm glad you failed on your own accord.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because this game is so hard to win
that it was never gonna come off.
It is a name in a haystack.
In essence, we call a random business with a random name
and if the person who answers the phone has that name,
we will have found a name in a haystack
and today that person will instantly score $1400 cash.
It's getting up there and to make it completely at random,
our producers choose one of the two things each week.
Producer Ella, what are you choosing this week?
Southbound Records.
Oh, okay.
So you're choosing the place.
Yes.
What's Southbound Records?
A record shop, Clint.
Yeah.
Oh cool, whereabouts?
Obviously, but where?
Where and what?
That's in Auckland. It's all in Simon's Strip.
So I'm being cheeky. Auckland. You're being cheeky.
Okay, we're calling a record, we're calling a record, thanks Ella. We're calling a record store in Auckland.
And Claudia, who are we looking for? I feel like the name I've chosen isn't cool enough to work at a record store.
Yeah. No offence, Deanie Michaels out. You can change it.
What would you think, um... I'd say something like Harrison.
Wallace.
Harrison, I reckon, works at a record store.
It's my brother's name and he's not the coolest person.
Marty.
Oh, Marty's cool.
Chad.
Ooh.
Chad.
What were you thinking?
I was going to go for Michael.
Yeah, Michael works.
So would we accept Mike?
Mike, Mikey.
Mikey. Michael. Mikael. Miky? Yes, Michael works. So would we accept Mike? Mike, Mikey. Mikey.
Michael.
Michael.
Mickey?
Mickey, yes, Mickey.
Mikael?
Not Mikael.
Okay.
Claudia, when you're ready, please connect us to Southbound Records where today if Michael,
Mike, Mickey or...
Mikael.
Or whatever answers, they'll get $1400.
Oh my gosh!
Southbound Records, Hugo speaking. Oh, sorry, what'll get $1400. Oh my gosh! Southbound Records, Hugo speaking.
Oh, sorry, what was your name?
Hugo.
Hugo, g'day, it's Bryn Clint from ZM,
the radio station, how are you?
Good thanks, how are you?
Good thanks, mate, we play a game on our show
called Name in a Haystack, if your name
hada been Michael, you woulda won 1400 bucks.
Okay.
Does anyone at the store have the name Michael? No. We're
trying to think of what the name of a guy who works in a record store would be
and it's Hugo. It's obviously Hugo. Yeah, Hugo is cool. What's the hot vinyl at the
moment? Have you got the Lord Virgin vinyl? We do have Lord Virgin in. We've got
the blood copy left and we still have the standard edition.
Do you have the CD?
Oh, have you got the CD?
We have one CD, yeah.
Alright, I'll produce it LLP in shortly.
Thanks Hugo!
Thanks Hugo!
Appreciate it.
There you go.
He was kind of fun.
Yeah.
Damnit.
He even sounded cool, like he worked.
He sounded like he worked in a record shop.
He sounds like his pants are really baggy.
Like he cared about the music but he didn't really care about anything else.
He's cool, yeah.
He didn't care about the money.
He cared about the art.
The $1400 didn't pique his interest but when we started talking about music...
Yeah, we got that vinyl, we got this, we got that.
Hey Claude, do you want to see if Michael's...
Oh no, not Michael, Hugo's single.
He sounded kind of cute.
He could be.
He might have the Lord single.
That's another game where we call stores and find out if they're single and they want to
date Claudia.
Yeah, I think that's a totally non-creepy way to meet someone Claude.
Yeah, I think that's totally right.
I think that's smart.
That's an even harder game.
That's a very hard game.
I'll give them $1400.
If you would like.
Daddy Franklin.
Just a bit of breaking news before we do.
Birthday banger.
The Herald is reporting that Jaffas are going to be discontinued.
What?
The lolly Jaffas.
They're going to stop making them.
You mean the chocolate on the inside, like the red on the outside?
Orange candy on the outside.
Jaffas, kind of an iconic Kiwi lolly.
Have we lived this experience before?
Nah.
I thought this already happened.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When the Cadbury factory,
I believe when the Cadbury factory in Dunedin closed down,
we were like, we couldn't get them anymore.
But then RJ's bought the license to make them.
RJ's make great confectionery.
So good, they stepped in as the heroes.
They said no one's buying them.
They said they can't continue to make Jaffas. Even though they the heroes. They said no one's buying them. They said they can't continue to make Jeffers because no one's buying them.
I have to, I gotta admit, times moved on from the Jeffer. There's so many better
lollies than a Jeffer out there. I mean I do love a Jeffer. Do you? I can't say that I
go out and buy them a lot. The issue is though, without, if Jeffers don't exist,
what are we gonna call Aucklanders now?
You know?
We have to find another rude name for us.
We should call Aucklanders by our other name.
What's that?
Arseholes.
They're gonna say wanker.
That too.
It's universal.
RIP Jeffers, let's get into birthday banger, the number one song on your 16th birthday

Donald Trump has said he would like to be added to Mount Rushmore.
Of course he has.
If you don't know Mount Rushmore it's the big US landmark where presidents George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt have their
heads carved into stone and Trump's like I should be up there. It's all the
presidents that people considered to be the best. Well, someone did.
Someone did.
Someone considered them.
At some point in time.
Interestingly, there is space for one more head up there.
Is there actually?
But they can't because if they carve into the stone again,
it's gonna fracture the existing heads
and they said to give Donald Trump a space,
it might cost Abraham Lincoln a nose.
Well, that's the story they've told Donald Trump,
the President. Oh, sorry, Mr. President. There's a good reason we can't put you out there.
There's a big social media trend at the moment, especially with AI, because you can get Chet
GPT to do it for you.
Yes.
Where you say you're Mount Rushmore of things.
I've seen a lot of Mount Rushmore of All Blacks and Mount Rushmore of sports players and things
like that.
It can be any category you want, right?
It can be anything at all. So I thought this afternoon we could each present our Mount Rushmore of sports players and things like that. It can be any category you want, right? It can be anything at all.
So I thought this afternoon we could each present
our Mount Rushmores.
Okay.
Things we're passionate about.
Ooh.
And I would like to start.
Okay.
With my Mount Rushmore of beers.
Oh, beers!
Are we talking like actual type of lagers or ales
or are we talking where you're having the beer,
like a shower beer?
The latter. Okay. My Mount Rushmore of beers, where you're having the beer like a shower beer? The latter.
Okay.
My Mount Rushmore of beers, and you're welcome to criticise, but it is my list and I won't
be taking feedback.
And this is like they're all on level playing field.
They're all on the mountain.
Airport beer.
Great beer.
I've replaced shower beer, I know you said shower beer, I've replaced shower beer with
beer by water beer.
So any-
Controversial.
Yeah.
Are you in the water?
You could be, you could be in the pool.
You could be by a lake.
You know what is good?
You could be in the bath, you know what is good?
You could be in the shower.
A spa beer.
Yes, spa beer.
When you're hot and then you bring a cold beer
into that situation.
Beer by water beer.
Number three, first beer of the summer holidays.
It's good.
And my fourth beer, the third beer.
What?
The third beer is good.
Cause you don't always get to the third beer
cause you got responsibilities.
That's the Goldilocks zone.
You don't have to drive.
You decided screw it, I'll get an Uber.
Yeah.
The third beer.
That is my Mount Rushmore beer.
Thank you very much.
Very good.
Very good.
Who would like to go next?
I've done two different Mount Rushbills
and you guys can pick which one you want to hear more.
Okay, my first Mount Rushmore is Dragon Ball Z characters.
That one.
Okay, and the next one is the most superior Apple varieties
I'll take Dragon Ball Z place. I'd vote Apple. I'll go Dragon Ball Z. Okay Dragon Ball Z wins. Okay, we're starting off strong
You can't go past it. He's my
Character on fortnight Goku Goku is no doubt in my Mount Rushmore
Mount Rushmore for Dragon Ball Z characters next on the list list, some might not agree, and if you don't, you'd be wrong, Vegeta.
Yeah, 100%.
Vegeta is on the list.
It's Goku's brother.
I mean, he is maybe one of the greatest villains in-
He is in a Decredible Redemption arc.
In TV history.
Correct.
He does.
Next on the list, I had like an attraction, like a weird attraction to this character.
Oh, it's not Krillin, is it?
Is it Trunks?
Trunks. Got to be on my list.
Crazy to put him on Mount Rushmore, but okay.
Yeah. And I'm going to round it out because, you know, and I know none of you will agree with me,
but the true fans of Dragon Ball Z will get it on my Mount Rushmore is Piccolo.
You put Trunks on there and Piccolo over Gohan?
He stuffed Gohan! He's never gonna be Goku!
It's your Mount Rushmore. Claudia, what's your category?
I'm going chips is my category.
Oh, flavors?
No, types of chips.
Okay.
Starting strong with a potato wedge. Yeah, okay. Do you not like a wedge? Well, this is my Mount Rushmore. It's yours, types of chips. Okay. Starting strong with a potato wedge.
Ugh!
Do you not like a wedge?
Well, this is my Mount Rush one.
It's yours.
My next is Kumara fries.
Just, we just have very easy to muck up.
Like, they can be very potato-y.
They're dry.
They're too big, the little crunchy ones.
Controversial opinion.
Kumara fries.
I know you hate them.
This is my Mount Rush one.
They're so shit compared to why would you choose those
when you can choose a normal hot chip?
Anyway, okay.
My third chip is crunchy ice chips.
I love crunching ice.
Oh, that's smart.
So ice chips are so good.
I nearly swore.
I know I said the F word.
What are you, giving birth?
I nearly.
Good call, Cod.
And then my last chip is a poker chip.
Just to keep it fun.
Nice. You lost me at ice chips. I feel like she was trolling us. And then my last chip is a poker chip, just to keep it fun. No!
You lost me at ice chips.
I feel like she was trolling us.
She didn't even do potato chips.
She did not even do a hot chip.
I did a potato wedge.
Oh, potato wedge can get in the bed.
No!
Ella, round us out.
Your Mount Rushmore is?
Best Kisses.
Oh, okay.
Ready.
First one, obviously.
The most best kiss of my life was with Ryan first kiss
The first kiss the first person you know the first kiss with someone with Ryan yeah, yeah
With Ryan because none of us have experienced that. First kiss with Ryan. Okay, very personal. Yeah, and
This is my Mount Rushmore. Yeah, okay kissing my cat Billy. there's nothing like going into her fur and sniffing her neck.
That's my cat.
The end scene in the movie Proposer was Sandra Bullock.
Oh, that is a romantic kiss.
When they're in the office and he's like, I love you.
That's pretty nice.
And lastly when Katniss kisses Rue's forehead after Rue dies.
Oh, so sad.
How, how, how have you not put in there the notebook kiss?
Because I haven't watched it.
Or the Spiderman kiss.
Or the Spiderman kiss!
No, these don't provoke emotions like these ones do.
Thanks guys. I regret opening this to the producers.
I feel like they didn't quite get it.
The ZM Podcast Network.
I don't know if you guys are ready for this incredible story I'm about to tell you, but
I'm going to tell you it anyway and then we can all just sit in awe of these emergency
service people.
Okay.
For the absolute miracle that they pulled off in, this took place in Tasmania over in
Australia.
Yeah.
Where they saved a 66 year old Lithuanian adventurer
by the name of Vlaldas.
Okay.
He was whitewater rafting, so he's a kayaker,
and he was whitewater rafting with a bunch of other kayakers.
So I think there was about 11 of them.
And this is something that him and his friends do.
They travel around the world.
He's not new to it.
No, no, it's not a new thing. This is something they've done for many, many years and they
travel around the world and they whitewater raft in their kayaks. Anyway, a freak accident
happened in November last year when he slipped. So he wasn't in the kayak. So he was walking
across rocks where I think they were looking at the rapids and where
they wanted to go and just checking out everything.
And he was walking across some rocks when he slipped and fell, right?
He slipped and fell and wedged his leg between rocks and fast running water because it was
obviously on the river.
Yeah, yeah.
You know?
So he's fallen into this like little dip and he's wedged his leg into this rock.
What followed from there was his friends obviously tried to get him out, which they spent about
two hours trying to get their friend out of this situation.
Oh my god, he didn't chop his own leg off like James Franco
in that movie, did he?
No, but the group of 10 fellow rafters panicked.
They tried for at least an hour and a half.
They were like, we can't get him out.
And it is getting dark, it's getting cold.
So they used a phone to, a satellite phone
to communicate with emergency services.
When they got in touch, all these people then came out.
There was doctors, there was air rescuers, surf lifesavers, paramedics.
All these people then spent the next 24 hours trying to free this
kayaker from-
He was stuck in there for 24 hours.
24 hours he was stuck in this position
where his leg was just so wedged between this rock.
And they then had to, I know you joked about it before.
They did not amputate his leg.
They had to make a decision on the spot
where this 66 year old guy, right? They had to make a decision on the spot where this 66 year old guy, right?
They had to make a decision where they were like, this guy will either die here.
Yeah.
Hypothermia had already set in. He's in the water and he's been out.
It's running water.
It's running water and he's gone through 24 hours of this.
They were like, either we try and save him and amputate his leg,
or he dies here.
They then got this doctor out who was willing to try
and amputate this guy's leg as he's stuck.
A bush amputation.
A bush amputation, right?
A river amputation.
The story gets even crazier.
The doctor comes out, he slips, falls, breaks his wrist.
Jesus Christ.
They then go, okay, well he can't do it.
They fly another doctor out.
They end up knocking this kayaker out with ketamine.
They knock him out, he's fully sedated.
His leg is under the water.
They amputate this guy's leg.
They put him on the helicopter.
He survives.
Jesus.
What in the world?
Is that not the craziest story you've heard in a while?
Can you imagine being the kayaker trapped in the river?
You've just made the heartbreaking decision to remove your own leg, have your leg removed.
And like, we've got the doctor and he shows up
and he's like, don't worry, I'm here to, oh!
And he falls and breaks his wrist.
Do you then have to spend another how many hours?
At that moment I'm gonna be like, well, I'm meant to die.
I'm meant to die here.
The guy, he was from Lithuania, like I said,
he talks about, because I think
they've done like a bit of a documentary about this guy's story and he talks about how he
was like, I feel like I'm meant to die out here. I know this is bad taste to ask. Yeah.
What happened to the leg? It's a great question. Because if they couldn't get it out attached
to the man, were they able to get it out after? I don't know.
You could apply some more force then, like you could hook it up to a quad
bike and link it out or something. Surely. Wild. Okay cool. And to wrap up the story,
he's okay right? He's okay, he's recovered, he's now planning a trip to go
back to the same river and finish what he started.
No terrible idea.
I understand getting back on the horse.
No, I feel like you've been given a sign from God to stay away from that river.
This guy's like, I trapped your leg.
I paralysed the doctor that came to save you.
What more?
What other sign do you need that you're not meant to be in that river?
God, what a story.
Here's where we camped, that's where I lost my leg.
Oh, and there's the leg.
ZM's Brainclin podcast.
And I think that's enough rubbish for one day.
I think so. We're all rubbished out.
I'm going to go see the new F1 Brad Pitt movie.
You're going to love it.
Because you've seen it, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm so keen.
It's an epic.
It's a blockbuster.
You said it goes for two and a half hours.
Yeah, I said it's an epic.
What is it?
Lord of the Rings of F1 racing?
Well Formula One races are quite long, so.
Two and a half, don't you reckon we just need to put a,
we need to put a rule, we need to put a limit
on how long movies can be these days?
Just checking the runtime for you.
I feel like they're just starting to take the piss.
I thought I was overestimating it.
No, two hours 36, yeah.
Oh my God!
Someone said there needs to be a word
for the feeling you get when you go to watch a movie
and you see the runtime is 90 minutes.
So good.
Yes, so good.
Nothing better.
The movie people are listening.
That's what we want.
You know we're the number one show for the movie people.
Yeah.
Yeah, 90 minutes.
That's what everyone wants.
I think car movies are just long.
Ford versus Ferrari was two hours 30 as well.
Yeah.
Anyway, have fun.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Bye bye.
