Stays at 3pm. Bri and Clint. Oh, you can't. ZM's Bri and Clint. Salve a lave, everybody, and welcome to the Bree and Clint show for Tuesday. G'day, guys. Thanks for having us. We've just been sampling the Double Down. So one of the benefits of having a show sponsored by KFC is we get KFC deliveries to the studio. I say we, I actually haven't tasted them yet. You've just tasted both of the new options.

No, I just tasted one. Oh, which one? The Korean one. Good? Mmm, yeah, quite a little bit of spice in there. I loved it. Very nice, and there's a hash brown one. Have you shared a Double Down with a friend?

Is that a single down? Yeah. Yeah. Mmm, I think so. Claudia said before, should we split a Double Down? Do you want the top or the bottom? Which I thought that was the most outrageous way

to share a double down. Wouldn't you cut it down the middle? That's what I said. Vertically? I was just joking, guys. Now you're joking. I wanted the top half. I also saw her eat the double down from the side.

Yeah. I saw her eating a banana from the side. And a burrito. Exactly, like a burrito. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just your everyday way to eat food. I saw her eating a banana from the side. And a burrito. Exactly, like a burrito. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just your everyday way to eat food. I saw her eating an ice cream from the bottom of the cone up. I usually eat the stick first.

I saw her eating a triangle sandwich from the corner. Isn't that correct? No, from the back corner. Oh, the bottom corner. Yeah, yeah, she's an animal. She's an animal. Outrageous. We have the International ATM on our show at four o'clock

today, we'll give you three different amounts of money in three different currencies. You have to quickly pitch which one you would like, pick which one you would like, and we'll give you the corresponding amount of New Zealand dollars. It is a bit of fun and there's a lot of cash up for grabs. So four o'clock be waiting for that.

But right now, tradie versus lady. If you want to play, the tradies are still behind, but not crazily. It's 33 to 40, 0800 dials it in. We're looking for a tradie and a lady right now. Play ZM's Bree and Clint. It's tradady versus Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

All right, score update. If you're playing along, Trady's on 33, the Lady's out in front on 40. Our Lady is in the winterless north in Whangarei. She's 48 and her favourite animal is a monkey. Welcome to the show, Sam. G'day, Sam. What kind of monkey, if you had to be specific?

I am not specific I just love them all. Like a capuchin? Like a baboon? An orangutan? No this is all really cool. A sea monkey? Oh a sea monkey. Oh, a sea monkey. Oh, no. Not so much. Yeah. Sea monkey, do monkey. Do you guys reckon sea monkeys were a big rip-off? Yeah, weren't they just bacteria?

I think they just... they pretty much fed on the poor children that weren't allowed a real pet. You know? That didn't cost much though. Yeah. Yeah. You're taking on our trading today from Wellington and at the ripe old age of 33 they've already got five kids.

Welcome to the show, James. G'day James. Howdy, howdy. You've been bloody busy haven't ya? Yep, yep pretty much. Have you got a favourite out of the five? Oh I do but I shouldn't say that out loud. Yeah that's a good idea.

Does it change or does it stay the same? No have you got a least favourite? From time to time, depending on the score report, and then the year and shit like that. Yeah, that's fair. James, your buzzer is tradie. Sam, yours is lady. The first of three correct answers will win $50 cash this afternoon.

Here we go. Question number one. Which big cat is known for having the longest canine teeth relative to body size? Is it? Oh sorry, I was, yep, go James. No, no, can I back out of that? Yeah, because you paused. I feel like I paused.

Yeah, I did pause. Okay, here are your options. Both of you are back in if you want to buzz in. Lion, Siberian tiger, clouded leopard. Lady. Sam's in. Um, the second one. Siberian tiger, no. James?

Um, the leopard. The leopard, yeah. The clouded leopard is the one. Where did you get that question? The internet? Yeah, right. I've never even heard of a clouded leopard. What? And are they canine teeth if they're on a cat?

You've never heard of a cl- wait there's a few things to unpack there. Yeah The ca- a canine- we have canine teeth. The incisors. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Anyway, I've got the answer. I can't believe you've never heard of a clouded leopard. Look it up, they're so cute. I'm gonna google them. They're really cute. Question number two, name one of the titles from the Harry Potter series other than the first one. Yes, James. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Yeah, nice, well done.

One to the tradies, no two to the tradies, sorry. Clouded Leopard's a good looking cat. Yeah, they're beautiful. And they're called Clouded Leopards because their spots look like clouds, they're beautiful. And they're called Clouded Leopards because their spots look like clouds. Yeah, no, I got that. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, huge teeth. I think they're called canines. Question number three, two to the tradies. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. While the streams are hot. James for the win. This is a wild guess, Taylor Swift. Oh, he's got it. Where'd you pull that one?

Well done, well done. We have $50 cash coming your way, James. That's $10 per child. No, it's going to go fast. Yeah, I'll say. You're welcome. Thanks guys. You're welcome.

Fangs, wouldn't you call them fangs? Fangs, all gonna go fast. Yeah, I'll say it. Let's talk on Fangs, guys. You're welcome. Fangs, wouldn't you call them Fangs? Fangs or canine teeth? Yeah, right. Cause like, everyone has it, it's just the name of that tooth. Yeah, but it's weird for canine teeth, cause canine is dog, for canine teeth to be on a cat, isn't it?

But we have them too. Yeah, okay. It's just the name of the tooth, isn't it? I don't know. I've got big ones, look at mine. Dracula over there. ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. My wife's out of the country at the moment. She's in Sydney so she cannot hear what we're

about to say. What stuff are you going to say behind her back? Well there's just like I enjoy a wonderful marriage. I really do. It's effortless. My wife is a beautiful person. Good, this is good. You build it up with all the nice things and then wha-ha! She cares for our children with all of her heart and she puts up with me, which I mean... That is a big thing. We're talking saint-level behaviour right here.

I mean, I do as well, but I get paid for it. You don't have to sleep with me though. Yeah, it's true. That was in my contract actually. You did that voluntarily. I do not. Excuse you. She's contractually obliged.

No, all that to say, there's just this one thing. There's just this one thing. And it's not a big thing, but you know, when you realise that you have to live with someone, no, excuse me, let me rephrase that, when you have to live with someone no excuse me let me rephrase that when you get to live with someone for the rest of your life. Better, better. We'll cut that part out hey Claude. Yeah yeah don't put that bit there. Yeah she'll cut that part out. The things have a way of building up you know like a blockage in a river over time it becomes a dam and one day that dam shall burst. If you can't admit that

there's these little tiny things that just get on your nerves in relationships then there's bigger problems. You know, if you can't admit the little things then there's obviously way bigger problems. And you might be listening to this going Clinton this is a conversation for you and your wife. Where is the communication? I've talked to her about it. How many times? Every time I see it. And I feel like it's now got to the point where

Oh, what is it? I wanna know what it is. I think it now happens because Because she doesn't in spite. I think maybe, I think maybe. I wish that my wife would stop putting the good knives in the dishwasher. I have heard you talk about this. Really rubbed you the wrong way.

Last weekend I actually went out of the way to sharpen the knives, re-sharpen the knives, get them back, you know, get them back to fighting strength so they could at least cut through tomatoes. You know, so you could at least go through tomatoes. This is a full set of knives by the way. What kind? Remember those smeg ones that you got from New World a few years ago? Oh yeah. Pretty good knives. Pretty good knives. A lot of stickers to get those knives. They're full stainless steel? Yeah. Because I was going to say she's not putting the real fancy knives, the ones with the wooden

handles in them. Oh no no no. But she'll put a wooden spoon in the dishwasher. You don't do that! Breeds bacteria. Anyway it just it's just one of those things and I'm sure there's things that I do as well. Of course there is that's what a relationship is. But if I knew if I knew. You probably wouldn't change it. No I would. Would you? I'd make an effort to change it, yeah. I can take feedback on board. If it made or created more work for you, Yeah. Would you do it? Oh.

See? Yeah, yeah. And I'll have to say, But the amount of work. Who's cleaning up the knives the most in your household? Probably your wife. No, she's literally not because she's just

sticking them in the dishwasher. That's what I mean. You're asking her to change something that creates more work. You know I'm not, you know I'm actually not. I've said to her, just leave them in the sink. Just leave them in the sink. That's how much it means to you.

To the point that I said to her on Sunday before she went to Sydney and I was doing the dishes, and I said, oh, the knives are looking forward to you going to Australia this week because they're gonna get a bit of a break from going in the dishwasher. There's a soft little stab. Yeah. So to speak.

All relationships have these things. Yeah they all do. And it means nothing but it means everything. Yeah oh totally. My partner and I we've been in a silent battle or we were in a silent battle for many years over which way the toilet roll went. Oh yeah. I'm an over. Mm-hmm.

And apparently my partner is just a whatever. It's just, it's a game of charts. Not to mention my partner, I'm so sick of her drying her hands on my bath towel. Oh! How do you know she dries her hands on your bath towel? Because I can see it! Because my bath towel sits on the top of the towel rack, right? Do you guys have a hand towel?

Yes! Right, and she still opts for your bath towel. No, so I started putting a hand... I went and bought hand towels, put the hand towel there, somehow my towel's still wet. Someone's just texted and they said, why can't knives go in the dishwasher? If that is my wife texting from Australia. Wait, let me put the number into my phone. You can't put knives in the dishwasher because it makes them go blunt. It does, it actually does.

It does. What else can't go in the dishwasher? You shouldn't put wood in the dishwasher. No. Wooden chopping boards, wooden spoons. Pots, certain pots. Okay, someone else, that person's just texted back and they said, but how?

Explain how it makes them go blunt. Okay, now I genuinely believe that that is my wife texting in. Probably is. Someone said, I put wood in the dishwasher. Well, yeah, okay. No, they said my wood. That's very different.

Someone said, same to me, same Bree, and wiping the face after brushing teeth, can I remind you where I dry myself with that towel? Oh God, I feel you. I feel that pain. And my towel always ends up getting smelly, you know why? Because you're drying your hands on it every time you wash them. The person advocating for putting the knives

in the dishwasher has texted again and they said, I'm a wife but not yours. Do you want to be? Yeah. He might be looking for a new one soon. Are you saying that putting knives in the dishwasher is exclusively a wives trait? Look, let's not get into the semantics of it, okay?

Let's broaden this out and let's go to the people for a bit of a pressure reliever. Let's release the pressure this afternoon and ask you, what is the thing that you kindly asked your partner to do or not do, but they refuse to do it or not do it for you, even though you asked them nicely? If you want an example, someone has texted through a perfect one that says,

"'My partner puts the shower head as high as it can go, and I like it halfway down. he sometimes puts it down for me but then sometimes leaves it up high and for some reason it really bothers me. I feel you. I'll $100 or text your thing into 9696 and we will have a bit of a group therapy session together. Someone said to me at least your partner is washing her hands that's a great point. It could be worse. Daddy's Franklin. God we've opened a can of worms with the thing that you asked your partner to do but they just won't do what you asked them not to do but they just keep doing it even

though you asked them. Bree with her partner and not wiping their hands on her towel and me with my wife and the good knives in the dishwasher. There's a lot of knives in the dishwasher defenders texting in. Yeah a lot of people saying, I think a lot of people that just don't want to wash up their knives. Yeah. So they want to hear it. Short-sighted in my opinion. Yeah. You're robbing future you from sharp knives. Mmm. You know? Yeah you are. Short term gain, long term pain. Exactly. Someone texts her and said, why don't you just swap your towel to the bottom rung and put her towel on the top and then she'll technically just dry her hands on her towel. So I've done that. I have tried that in the past. But then come shower time, because I'm

so used to my towel being on the top, I would accidentally just use her towel. Yeah right. Have you guys thought about reducing down to a one towel household and then that solves all the problems there is no yours and my towel. Sophie's here, hi Sophie. Hello, how are you? We're good. Good thank you. We're a little irate but you know nothing nothing a good vent won't fix. Tell us what's the thing that you asked your partner to do but they won't do it? Oh, for years and years and years, we've been married for five years now, together for nine,

and he constantly leaves his dirty undies right next to the laundry basket on the floor. Just the undies, Sophie? No, well, everything, but mainly the undies. Because you don't want to be touching the undies? Oh, I just take a photo and send it to him and say, this is my life. This is an important question, Sophie. What colour are the undies? Oh, they're just their whole range.

Normally like a dark grey, you know. Okay. And Sophie, on a scale of one to... One to a lot. One to a lot. One to a lot, how badly soiled do they get? Oh no, there's nothing too bad like that. It's just more the fact that they're right next to the laundry basket instead of being in the laundry basket.

I hear you. Well, he wouldn't be leaving them on the floor if they were soiled. Maybe he thinks he's doing you a kindness by not letting his dirty undies touch your clothes in the washing basket. Maybe, I think he just doesn't want me up now. Yeah, yeah, this is the thing, this is the knife situation.

It's because you've made it a big deal, so it has to stay a big deal. Someone texted her and they said, he's my ex now, but I wanted him to wash his face every day. He's a farmer and said, I break out, I break out more when I wash my face because the dirt just goes straight back on my face the next day. The huge blocked pores on that man's nose. Yuck. PSA wash your damn face. That one ended a relationship. Reese is here. Hi Reese. Hi Reese. How we doing team?

Good thank you mate. What's the thing you asked your partner to do but they won't do? Oh, I ask my wife every time, you know, she puts her dirty washing in the machine to at least like turn it in the right way. Oh. You know, you take a hoodie off and it's in the wrong way and then it doesn't dry properly.

You know, it just makes the whole process of folding washing worse at the other end. So, you know, it just streamlines the whole thing if you turn it in the right way first. And Rees, what does it do to you when she leaves like you know she obviously takes her shirt and her hoodie off at the same time and the shirt's stuck inside the hoodie. Yeah yeah yeah no it's all stuck together. What if she takes her gym tights off and the undies are still in them? Yeah yeah that happens yeah socks on the inside you are still in them. Yeah, yeah, that happens. Yeah. Socks on the inside. You find socks in a hoodie pocket.

You never know what you're going to find. Yeah. So true. So true. That's your life now, Reese. Okay. Make peace with her. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. Reese, this is called a relationship and being an adult. Yeah. Yeah. It's give or take, you know, there's probably things I do that aren't as good as well. Of course we all have our things. No, you sound like an angel, Reese.

I wouldn't say that. And to be honest, Reese does sound like an angel because you're obviously doing most of the washing. He's doing the washing, yeah. I asked my boyfriend to mow the lawn before every flat inspection. Every single time he does not mow the lawn before the flat inspection. And it's the only thing that we get told off after our flat inspection. Oh no.

That would drive me insane. Me too. Someone else said, my partner likes the plates rotated in the cupboard so they get equal use. I just chuck them in a pile. Yeah, now that's different I feel. Some things are too far, like some requests. That's, yeah, too far.

Is that a too far request? For me, in that situation, I feel like I would say, if you would like the plate rotated, then you can rotate them. But don't bring me down with you. But I will not spend my life rotating plates for equal use. They are not tires. I will not do it. My husband leaves multiple pairs of shoes in the doorway. That is a classic. That is a classic. What about this one? The way my partner

makes the bed? Criminal. Top sheet? Barely there. Ends tucked, not sides. Sheets? Don't match. And he's just raw dogging the duvet with no duvet cover. And you have to share it. You have to share a bed with that person. Don't let him take you down. Yeah, okay. Everybody feel better? Everybody feel a little bit better? I feel better.

Little bit better? Yeah. Yeah, cool, okay. Brian Klin brought you by KFC's Double Down. It's back, it's available in the OG, the new Korean mayo, or the cheesy hash. It's here for a good time, not a long time. The Tea Live from LA with Dee McCarthy.

Dean, they have released the stats on how much Harry Styles made per day last year. Yeah, so I'm gonna run to sit down and you're about to feel very poor. Let me tell you how much this guy makes in a day. $259,000, which would $1.8 million per week. Now, where is Harry Styles getting almost $2 million a week? Well, obviously, his very successful album, Harry Styles, and of course, the final date for his very successful global setting to us. So,

I mean, good bank. I think he's going to be right now relaxing as you would. As you would. That's crazy. Last year, you're telling me last year Harry Styles made nearly a hundred million dollars in just one year from being Harry Styles. Yep. That is, I've talked about this to you before. I would find it very hard to keep working after that. Yeah, like what motivates you? Yeah.

The next 100 million? The pursuit of a billion dollars? I can tell you. I can tell you what does. They go broke. Justin Bieber's blown 500 million dollars and is now literally almost broke. Wait, Justin Bieber has blown through 500 million dollars, Dean. On what? Justin Bieber has blown through $500 million Dean on what? Yes and on everything you can imagine everyone private jets and his houses and his family houses and back in December he sold his music catalog for $200 million because he had to. He owes Peter Braun almost $40 million. That's sad that Justin Bieber is selling his music catalog so young.

Like Bob Dylan sold his recently, but that makes sense. You know, he's near the end of his career. I was going to say life, but that's a bit grim. But Justin Bieber, that's sad. He's not even 30. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe he can re-record it and do Justin's version.

I could do, yeah. That's a great idea. You should tell Taylor Swift about that. Yeah, she'll love it. That's a great idea you should tell Taylor Swift about that. Yeah she'll love it. That's the tea with Dean McCarthy he knows what all the celebs make and spend. ZM's Breanne Clint podcast. Breanne Clint on ZM. We got a text from someone just before I said you guys have ruined the Tate McCray song for me time she says, I need a minute, I just imagine her on the toilet. So do we. Mm-hmm.

It sounds more like, I need a minute! I need a minute! I need a minute, lad, hey! I need a minute! Go away! And the song's called Revolving Door. Like, I feel like we've unlocked the hidden meaning of that song.

Yeah. You know? Claudia, our producer, was talking to us recently about when you know you've got too many people in the bridal party. Yeah and I feel like we kind of have an idea of what a big bridal party is but the story blows that out of the water. So there's this couple in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the bride getting married, she kind of decided that almost everyone that she knows should be in the bridal party. You're joking but that's how many she's got. Yeah, I think I'm kind of being serious she couldn't decide and so she

just started handing out invites to everyone. Yeah. She ended up with a bridal party of 95 people. No. That's a joke. Oh my god. They're all wearing like kind of the same color scheme, they all have different dresses but she has... Are all of those women in her bridal party? Yes and so the age range was from like six years old to like 80 years old so I think everyone she's ever met made the cut. Why? Why would you do that? I don't know. Imagine the speeches. It would go for a week. We all know those people who don't know where to draw the line. You know, like they'll be having a birthday party and they were like, but I have to invite Sarah. I worked with her three years ago. You know? You know that sort of person? They're like, oh I have to invite such and such because-

And if you're inviting Sarah, you have to give her a plus one, who you've never met before. Your bridal party though? Like, did she give a present to all the people in her bridal party? You know how they do that? Did they all sit at the head table?

Did they all stand at the front of the aisle? The head table is just like one long banquet table. Yeah, I want to know how many groomsmen there was. I can tell you. Can you? How many? So next to her 95 bridesmaids, eight groomsmen. See, in any other situation, that's too many groomsmen. Way too many.

But at this situation, he seems like a minimalist. A friend of mine, a good childhood friend of mine, got married over the weekend and she posted the photos and there was, hold on, so six bridesmaids and six groomsmen, so 12 in the bridal party. Including the couple there's 14 people standing at the front. And I just looked at that and went oh that's way too much. I've been to a seven, a good friend of mine had seven and she had seven. And this might be a hot take, but I feel like the more you have, the less it means. 100%.

Oh yeah. It dilutes. Yeah, because you're giving it out to everyone. It cheapens the honour. If I was ever lucky enough to get married, which it's looking more and more grim, I don't think I'd have a bridal party. Oh, you've said this.

Yeah. I just, I don't think I'd have any, no. Like I'd have certain friends as a part of the ceremony. Like I'd have like, as in to... Get Claudia to do some juggling. That would be good. I'll back flip down the aisle. You know, you can DJ. I'd have like a friend, what's it called? When they do the ceremony? Celebrants? MC?

Yeah, I'd have like a celebrant as one of my friends. But I don't think I'd have a bridal party. Why not? I just don't see the point. Yeah, okay. Like, and I feel like it's an extra thing, costs more money, it puts more pressure on my friends to buy certain things, and I just don't want to do that. Okay, yeah, when I got married we had two and I feel like two is a great number.

Three is the upper limit for me. I mean it's your wedding, have as many as you want. I feel like zero is the new cool trendy thing. Well when we went to Maddie McLean's wedding. Zero. Well actually zero but also not zero. They said they were each other's best man. Wasn't that cute? No that was yuck. I'm just kidding I'm just kidding their wedding was adorable but yeah they had no one in the bridal party did they? No they didn't. And I loved it. I thought this is cool. We want to ask you guys, I know at $100.00 ZDM, how many did you have? Were you pushing the

upper limits of how many you could have in the bridal party? Or do you want to dob a wedding you went to in? Were you at someone's wedding and you went oh this is getting ridiculous? Or were you recruited to be on a bridal party and you found out that you were number 11 of 11? You know? And you did it obviously but you're like bro you don't need all of us. Could have been number seven. Could have been. Could have been in the crowd. Someone on the text machine said any more than three bridesmaids is gluttonous. Gluttonous. I'd have to agree. It's a good word.

Oh, $800 a day would text us on 9 6 9 6 with your experiences. We want to know how many were there in the bridal party on on either side of the aisle in the wedding that you went to. Maybe it was big on both sides. I feel like they have to be balanced. I hate when it's not balanced. I know. But we'll see. Let us know. The ZM Podcast Network. We want to know how many people were in the bridal party. Claudia brought us a story about a lady from Northern Ireland who had 95 bridesmaids. That is ludicrous. Yeah, it's comedic. It is. Her husband to be had eight, which, what a joke. Too much. Yeah, so in total they had over a hundred. A hundred people in the bridal party. I hate it.

So we want to know what did you experience. In someone's text and they said, I'm a wedding planner and I decided to have none. But we had a big brunch at the house prior and then I told them all to leave so I could get ready by myself. Perfect. Hey, if that's what you like, then go for it.

Someone else has texted through and said, that's the part they couldn't do. They're getting ready on their own. Yeah, but you don't have to get ready on your own. You can still have your friends and stuff around. My first wedding there was no wedding party. My second wedding we had three on each side and I had very close friends as a very close friend is the celebrant. The second wedding was way better. The whole getting ready thing on your own isn't cool. So just it's personal preference, right? Yeah, someone said I wanted three bridesmaids, but my mother-in-law insisted I add an extra.

It was too many. I need to know, please. I hope that person is still listening. Who did the mother-in-law want? Was it like her daughter? Her daughter or? Or did the mother-in-law? Or was it one of her son's wives? Yeah. Was it her? Did she want herself added? Yeah, who did your mother-in-law want to be in your bridal party? Or did she just insist that you added another one for some reason?

This person wants to be anonymous, but they work at a wedding venue. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. You're at the front lines. You're in the trenches when it comes to weddings. What are you seeing as far as numbers in the bridal party? It varies, it's huge. It's like, I mean we have 18 sometimes

and it's like, so that's the bride and the groom plus you know, eight on each side, no nine on each side. Or yeah, eight on each side plus bride and groom. Anonymous, what's your feelings about that? Yeah. Genuine feelings, how do you, what's your feelings about that? Yeah. Genuine feelings. How do you feel about a bridal party that big? I think it's overkill.

Yeah, 100% it's overkill. Are you even set up to accommodate that many people? Yeah, the biggest problem that we have at our venue is trying to get everybody at the bridal table. Yeah. You can imagine it's crazy. Yeah, or even to get them in a line at the front of the aisle, you know? Like that's 18 people standing in a row.

If your bridal party can play a full softball game, like you've got two teams, like it's too many. We do have several places at the venue, locations on the venue that people can choose to get married at so it's quite spacious so there isn't really an issue in that department but I mean I can imagine other places that yeah it's like where does everybody stand. If you and your groomsmen can't fit in the same Toyota Previa you've got too many. Yeah I agree. Anonymous question for you like because

you would see weddings all the time do you reckon you're seeing more weddings with no bridal parties or no? No I don't think so. It's not a trend yet. Some people choose to not have them all sitting at the head table like at the bridal table at the reception, and so their bridesmaids and groomsmen and that would sit amongst the guests. Interesting to see which ones get demoted and promoted. Yeah, that's awkward. Because then in that case you go, well you should have just left me out of the bridal

party, I'm clearly a tier two bridesmaid. Well then they call that a sweetheart table and then they just have the two of them sitting at the front of the place. It's all about them, isn't it, on the day? Isn't it. Okay, thanks, Nonos, we appreciate it. Here's a flip side, there's a positive take on it. They said, I had eight bridesmaids and eight groomsmen.

I loved it. It was 20 years ago in Mauritius. I have a big family. Yeah, I feel like if you're getting married in Mauritius, you've got to go big. Where's Mauritius? Isn't that like one of the islands? Yeah, it sounds it. Yeah, like big, I'm picturing like Greek, Italian, like Mauritius, like big family vibes like that.

Yeah, I originally had four bridesmaids, but one convinced me not to have one on there. So I went with three. I've regretted it ever since. No, that sucks. Well, I wonder why obviously one bridesmaid didn't like the other bridesmaid. Or did three convince you to get rid of one? Was it three on... Oh.

Yeah. Someone said, I'm with Bree, we're getting married in November, been together 17 years, just having our two girls who are three and eight as flower girls for our bridal party. I love that. That's cute. That's very cute. Yeah. Also, their dresses are so much smaller

they'll be so much cheaper. Yeah and the shoes are quite small too. They won't drink anything. They won't throw you much of a hens party though. Nah that's the one downfall. It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Bri and Clint let's get classical. Let's get classical. Let's get classic. Cool.

Yeah. Absolutely we can. We can definitely do Pitbull at least. It's ZM's Bre and Clint podcast. To those who are sticking around waiting for the community theatre radio production of

Lord of the Rings, it's coming, okay? We're just getting our costumes ready. It's taking a lot of work to put this together. Bre needs a convertible costume that allows her to both play Gandalf and Legolas. Yeah. Some would say very different characters. I would say both in my range. I'd say both blondes. Yeah true. It's coming okay just stay with us. It's coming and you may say why do you need costumes for a radio production to which which we say, good point, but it's coming. Just give us time.

It helps for the energy and the vibe that comes through the microphones. First, I wanna workshop a new segment I'm calling Hot Takes. In fact, Claudia, could you do a live intro for Hot Takes for us? Just see what comes off. Ah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Hot Takes.

I like it. And here is today's hot take. Let's see what we think. At the end of the day, you're only left handed because you want attention. Like we see you. Whoa! That is a hot take. Hit the sting Claudia.

Ah da da da da da da da hot takes. The second one didn't sound as convincing. Yes, because she's shocked by the hot take. You're only left handed because you want attention. What in the world? That can't be true because I'm not left handed. Yeah right. My Nan was naturally left handed but she was raised, she went to a school that was run

by nuns. They tried to breed it out back in the day. They beat her until she would write with her right hand and she had the world's most shocking handwriting because her brain did not want to write with her right hand. Isn't that horrible? Like what is the big deal? The poor lefties have to just live in a bloody righties world. Yeah. And now there's people like this woman saying that they choose it.

Lefties are not doing it for attention, okay? Why would you pick the harder choice? Yeah, they're not doing it for attention, okay? Like gluten-free people. That's a hot take from you that I'm gonna, I'm gonna, da-na-na- stick. I'm distancing myself from that comment. Or vegans. Na na na na na na hot take.

I don't know if I like this segment. But hey, you did say... Makes you feel something away. You did say that it was called Hot Takes. Yeah, they weren't called Mild Takes. Big news for New Zealand today. The Kiwis have taken a Guinness World Record. Officially.

It's marked down, it's in the book, and it's all because of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movie set, which has been crowned by Guinness World Records as the largest purpose-built movie set in the world. Congratulations, Hobbiton. Wow! It's pretty incredible. Still attracts people to the country too. Yeah, so the set was created back in 1999 and it took nine months. Isn't that amazing? And yet, like you said, to this day a lot of it still stands. In Matamata, yeah.

Yeah. It's such a big tourist attraction. Sam Smith went there last time. You take me seriously. Now, I can't take you seriously, but no one else can see you. Yeah. You need to explain what is happening. Look, we thought to celebrate this momentous occasion for New Zealand, this momentous occasion for New Zealand, we would as a tribute delve back into our community theatre roots and perform for you a scene from the iconic Lord of

the Rings this afternoon. And look, we're not even going to charge you for it. This is free of charge as community radio theatre is. Better background for you. Pexy and Brie have never seen Lord of the Rings. I've seen the first one. Pixie's dad worked on Lord of the Rings and she's never seen it. Never seen it, no.

I saw the first one, but I was quite young, so can't really remember it. In the scene that Claudia has selected for us, I will be playing the parts of Boromir and Aragon. I will be playing Legolas. Boromir and Aragon. I will be playing Legolas and Gandalf the Great. Claudia I'm gonna be Gimli. Mm-hmm and Pixie. I'm allegedly Frodo. Oh you're such a Frodo. You're such a Frodo. You're Frodo adjacent. Okay are we ready everybody? I think so. I think so. Okay break a leg.

ready everybody? I think so. I think so. Okay break a leg. One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep and the great eye is ever watchful. It is folly! Have you heard nothing? That Lord Elrond has said... The ring must be destroyed! And I suppose you think you're the one to do it? And if we fail? What then? What happens when Sauron takes what is his?

I will be dead before I see the ring fall into the hands of an elf! Do you not understand? While we bicker among ourselves, Sauron's power grows! No one will escape it! You will all be destroyed! Your homes burnt and your families put to the sword! Sent her? Sorry, Zofredo. No, you guys gotta argue and yell. Give me the ring! That's crazy! We gotta do something about this!

I'll take it! I'll take it! I'll take the ring to Mordor! Wait, is that Frodo? I don't know! Zofrodo, I do not know the way! Is it my turn? Put your hat back on, go. Gandalf, get in there.

I will help you bear this pardon, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear. If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword. And you have my bow. And my axe. You carry the fate of us all, little one.

Sane. And sane. Wow, guys. Yeah. Oh no. The top. And seen. Wow guys. Wow. Oh no. The top six. Wow.

If I have to be critical, it would probably be a Frodo. Sounded like wee Willy Winky. Yeah. I don't know what Frodo sounds like. I don't know what he looks like. Sounds like he likes berries and cream. Shit, I'm happy to get away with that.

I don't know what he looks like. Sounds like he likes berries and cream. Shit, I'm happy to get away with that. Your performance shone next to Frodo, to be honest. I couldn't hear because I couldn't get my headphones back on. So I missed out. Frodo sounds like the shrimp in a shark's tail. Well, congratulations to Hobbiton, the new Guinness World Record holder. Oh, and what a tribute that was.

What a fitting tribute. If I know the Lord of the Rings like I don't, that was spot on. They'll want a copy of that, absolutely. ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. We're just talking about a legacy contact, which is something you can set up on your phone that if you or your partner or your mum and dad or someone was to pass away, that you can actually take ownership of their phone account

and like their Apple ID or their Android and you can get into their account if you're set up as their legacy contact on your phone. It does mean that you could learn something about this person after they've passed away. You could also learn something that needs more explaining but the person's already gone. So it could be really frustrating or traumatizing or upsetting or angering. There's so many people calling through. We've asked you guys what could be quite a grim question.

It's what did you find out after somebody died? Laura's called up. Hi Laura. Hi Laura. Hello. Who was it? Who was the person? So it's my granny.

My granny passed away. Okay, and how old was granny when she passed away? Oh granny lived a good life. She was 95. Wow, good innings from granny. And what did you find out? So, my mum received an email from a sister that Granny had been hiding. Oh, a secret sister?

A sister, yeah. Full blood. Like your mum's sister? Yeah, mum's sister. Oh! Not Granny's sister? No, no, no. My mum's sister sister and you said full blood same mom and dad Yeah, how do you get you get around something like that? What did your mom think of that? We're still working on it Um, mom, well granny was a little bit What's the word you're gonna use

Different she lived an interesting life. Exactly. And so it was a shock, but also it helped mum to understand a lot about her life. Okay. Wow. So she adopted her out. Is that how it happened? Well, just within the family, so no paperwork.

Wow. So there was no trace. Passers-by on the side of the road. Laura, has your mum and her sister met? Like do they have a relationship now? They had a relationship, but it's all online because the sister's still in the UK. Oh, fascinating.

God, you'd love to have a conversation with granny about it, wouldn't you? Oh, you so would. You have so many questions. Yeah. Is there a point where they will meet? Like, is that the goal? Oh, we're working on it, yeah, hopefully.

Hopefully, they want to come here, so. Fascinating. I'd love for that to happen. Thanks, Laura, how about this one? David Lomas is just listening to this lick in his lips. We asked, what did you find out after they died? Someone said, we found out mum left $60,000 of credit card debt for my stepdad

because she knew that he was cheating on her While she was dying of cancer Wow she hit it all and we only found out once she'd passed She was clearly pissed but never said a bad word about it Wild I mean Kind of love that from her. Oh, she was scheming. Yeah, that's great. If she knew the debt was only gonna go to him. He deserved it. Kayleigh's here, hi Kayleigh. Hi Kayleigh.

Hello. What did you find out after somebody died, Kayleigh? So I found out, well the family found out that my man, so my mum's mum, she and her, my mum and her two brothers all have different dads and none of the dads are my granddad. Whoa! So who's granddad? He was just someone who came in after. He was the third guy. No, so he was actually raised the kids, so my nan's kids.

But the kind of theory that we have is that my granddad was actually sterile at the time so he couldn't actually have kids. Oh, right. So potentially he was aware. And so what, granny just went out and? Got it done. Yeah, back in the day it was like, oh you need to have kids with your husband kind of thing.

Yeah. Yeah, you never know what kind of pressures or arrangements, you know, you just don't know. Especially if you find, you just don't know. Yeah. Especially if you find out after they've already died. Yeah, and Granny's like, I can take care of this. Yeah, Granny was around town, so we don't even know who the dads are. Granny's like, I know a guy.

You haven't figured that out yet, Kayleigh? No, we're just on the ancestry DNA. That's how we found all this out. Wow, fascinating. But we don't have to trace it back. Yeah, yeah. That's incredible. Another all this out. Wow, fascinating. Yeah, yeah. Okay, that's incredible. Another wild granny story. How about a wild granddad? When granddad died we found out about a very, very long affair that resulted in two extra kids that we had no idea existed. That's wild. What about this one? Hi, I found out that my husband had a Tinder account two months

after he died. Went through his phone and saw that he had downloaded it. That would be so upsetting to find out. Especially because you'd be, I feel like you would have to open the Tinder account wouldn't you? And you'd have to see how, because your gut would be like well how active was the Tinder account? It would maybe help you like get over him quicker. Is he matched with anybody that I have met? Yeah, maybe it would speed up the grief process. Let's talk to Hazel on 0800.ZM.

Hi Hazel. Hi Hazel. Hello. Tell us Hazel, who was it that you found out something about them after they died? My dad. Your dad. Okay Hazel. First of all, sorry for your loss.

Thanks, it's been 13 years. 13 years. She's not fresh anymore. No, what did you find out about dad? We found out as we were going through all of his paperwork that he was listed as a dangerous person. No way. Dad's a bad boy.

Not so much a bad boy, he just was a dangerous person. No way. Dad's a bad boy. Not so much a bad boy, he just was a bit reckless. And he was a farmer, very like, you know, switched on or switched on, but he was switched on. Did he have a criminal record, Hazel? Ah, yes, he did. Oh, interesting. And you never knew this about him when he was alive? I knew he was into some things he shouldn't have been doing.

Okay. He used to drive past police cars and he would be like, what are you gonna do? I'm driving without a license. Yeah okay. But he used to always tell us that if you grab onto an electric fence hard enough and then you grab the person, you won't get a shock but they will. And so obviously, you know, he's had a few drinks, he's driving without a license and police are trying to pull him over and he decides that he's not gonna stop for them and he carries on and then he crashes his car, he gets out and he runs and he grabs onto the electric fence and electric shocks the policeman who's running after him. This sounds like a movie plot.

Sounds like an action scene from a movie, Hazel. I got to read the whole report. Yeah, wow. Did your mom know all the stuff about him? No. Wow. No, my mom and dad separated when we were like three. Yeah, right. All right. It was very entertaining. There were like three. Yeah, yeah, right.

Alright. It was very entertaining. There were a lot of things in there, but that was probably the most shocking of them. Has it rubbed off on you? Whenever you see a police officer, are you like pulling the fingers below the window or anything like that? I work on the same side as them. Oh, you are a police officer?

I'm not a police officer, but I work in the same sort of area. Wow. God, okay. Well plot twist I guess. Not following in your dad's footsteps. Yeah, no, I don't think dad would approve. Dad's up there just shaking his head, he's like, oh lord I raised you right Hazel. Is that how you found out the information about your dad? No, no, no, no. It was just through going through paperwork. You know, as you do when

someone has passed away you've got to go through all the... Totally. All right, thanks for sharing, Hazel, we appreciate it. Thanks Hazel. No worries. There you go, you think you know someone. Yeah, isn't it crazy? It'd be so weird.

Oh, tomorrow we should do what did they tell you on their deathbed? Okay, yeah. What'd they tell you? What'd they confess to on their deathbed? Deathbed convictions, I don't hate it. We'll give it a go tomorrow. If you want to do a birthday banger... That is Breeinclance. Breeinclance. Breeinclance. All I want from my birthday is a birthday banger.

Let's do a birthday banger time. You call us up, tell us your birthday. We do the calculations for what song was number one when you were 16. Natasha's here. Hi Natasha. Hi Natasha Hi, how are you?

And here's your birthday banger. ["Misca was Girl"] With the song to match. What a tune. Can't go past this one from Nelly Furtado. What do you reckon, Natasha? Oh yeah, that brings back memories. Yeah.

What a time to be a 16-year year old on your restricted licence driving around. Natasha, were you wearing the singlet with the belt over the top that wasn't in any belt loops? Yeah, the Supre one. Yeah, yeah. We all were wearing that. With the pink Supre bag. God, we look good, didn't we?

Lovely. All right, Sam. All we need is your birthday. 30th of June 1995. All right, that means you were 16 in 2011 and back in 2011 this had a number one. We could have had it bad But we never had bad news

In the days of time gone We were rolling in the deep She was everywhere in 2011. Adele rolling in the deep. What do you reckon? It's not my first folk bar, I'll take it. I mean it's a huge song, like you're never gonna not remember that song. Yeah exactly. Yeah. Song actually goes off when you're in a big group and you've been drinking.

Totally. You wouldn't think Adele does, but this does. This slaps. Okay wait there Sam, we're gonna do one more birthday banger for Jake. Hi Jake. G'day Jake. Hello. What have you been doing today Jake?

Oh I just got a work and just coached the kids in the circus this afternoon. Oh, lovely. They have a win? I just practiced. Oh, nice. I just practiced. Lovely, Jake. What is your birthday?

17 September 1988. Right, that means you were 16 in 2004 and on that exact day this was number one. A-D's in a Redner getting stronger. What do you reckon Jake? I thought I might have had some Kings of Leon or something like that. Oh yeah. It's still a very good song. Yeah. I have to admit. This is your first A-D's isn't it? Yeah it's my first A-D's. I might have had some Kings of Leon or something like that. Oh yeah. It's still a very good song. Yeah. I have to admit.

This is your first A.D.'s isn't it? Yeah it's my first A.D.'s. Never heard that before. Yeah yeah it's a lovely song. And I've lived here for ages. Yeah yeah well it's 2004. They haven't had a hit recently. Yeah I know but all the other stuff I've grown to love and learn and I've but I've never heard that before.

Still more to learn. Um I like it. I'm not going to vote for it though. I'm going to vote for the Nelly Furtado track. I think I'm voting Adele, rolling in the deep. Oh, okay. I think. I don't hate that.

It all goes to Claudia. She has the ultimate say because we can't agree. So Claudia, you can choose from all three songs. What is it going to be? I adore that Adele song, but I don't think it's the right vibe. Otherwise I would have chosen it. It's a bit slow. I think I'm gonna go Adele.

It's been a while since I've heard that one. I think we're all happy with that. Yeah. I don't mind it. Yeah, it's a vibe. Sam, you just won Birthday Banger. Congratulations. Oh hell yeah.

Woo! Love it Sam. From the year 2011, this is your birthday banger on ZM. ZM's Brian Clint. But you played it, you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat. Adele, the winner of birthday banger, Adele beat Nelly Furtado and Adeze this afternoon. Nuts. Don't say Adeze nuts nuts okay, shows some respect.

Anna Radner. Hey next on the show it's Tuesday so we're going to attempt to find a name in a haystack where today if we can get someone with the random name that we pick at the random business to answer the phone the person who picks up the phone will win $1,100. If you've been following this journey from the start I believe this will be the 22nd week we are attempting this. You don't want to miss the one where we get it. It's the hardest game in radio. It is the hardest game in radio. You want to be there so you can say I heard when they got the name in a haystack. We'll give it our best shot next. ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. Time for a name in a haystack. Our quest to find a random name on the end of a random

phone line. Yeah we say it's the hardest game in radio and it's proving to be so. It really is. Today, if our random person answers, they will win $1,100. Which means how many weeks have we tried this now? That means we're on week number 22. Yeah.

I reckon this is the day. We keep it random by getting the name and business that we're going to call from different people. Claudia, what are you choosing for us today? This week I'm doing the name. You're doing the name? Okay. What is our name?

My strategy here is to go for a unisex name. Good, because then you've got double the chance. I'm going for Jamie, I think. Yeah, okay. I feel good about it. If we going for Jamie, I think. Yeah, okay. Okay, yep. Yep. I feel good about it. If we're going Jamie, do we accept James? No. No.

Different name. No, it's a different name. It has to be Jamie. Okay. Yeah. Pixie, where does Jamie work? I reckon it's the Boat Cafe and Bar in Wellington. Oh my God, that's so specific. Why the Boat Cafe and Bar in Wellington?

It's where Freddie Gander did his pop-up show last year. Okay, okay do you know, have you got insider knowledge? Do you know that there's a Jamie that works there? I do not but I've got faith. If someone named Jameson answers does that count? If they sometimes go by Jamie. Okay if their nickname to some of them, to some people, is Jamie then we'll accept that. But we have to ask them before we offer them the money because they're just going to say yes otherwise. Exactly yeah okay. Okay Claudia when you're ready please connect the call to the Boat Cafe in Wellington where Fred again did a pop-up gig and we're looking for Jamie. Hi, is that the boat cafe? Yep.

Who was I speaking with, sorry? Uh, this is Erin. Erin, oh. Hi Erin, it's Bre and Clint calling from ZM. We were hoping to have someone called Jamie answer the phone. Hi Erin. Hi, how are you?

Good thanks. Is there a Jamie that works there Erin? No so there isn't any Jamie here. No. Okay. Is there a Jamie dining in the cafe at the moment? There is one guy, one customer here. Would you mind asking what his name is? Would that be a huge hassle? Yeah sure. Okay thank, thank you. Why, why did they do that? I don't know, I don't know. Imagine if it is, imagine if it's Jamie. My name's Gary. Just trying to enjoy a panini.

So he says Callum, not Jamie. Callum. His name is Callum, oh okay. Hey, thank you so much, we appreciate your help. Thanks Erin. Have a lovely day. Have a great day. Thank Oh, okay. Hey, thank you so much. We appreciate your help. Thanks Erin. Oh yeah, no worries. Have a lovely day. Have a great day.

Thank you, bye. See ya. She doesn't even know what she missed out on. I know. Poor guy. Oh, we didn't even tell her. Yeah, I feel like it's mean to tell them. Yeah.

I mean, I still enjoy doing it. I just forgot to do it that time. Yeah, me too. I wonder if that was my brother Callum who was dining in that cafe. Oh, can we call her back and find out? Call her back. Yeah, call her back. Because us as a guy have Harry Potter glasses and a mullet. Because I believe there's only one Callum that lives in Wellington.

Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, it's got to be him. Well, we didn't find our name in a hashtag. So next week, we will resume the search for $1,150. The hunt continues. The ZM Podcast Network. I was watching this interesting video on TikTok yesterday and it was about this guy, Dr. Daniel Amon.

Have you heard of him? No. He's a psychiatrist and specialises in brain disorders. Oh, okay. And so he studies the brain, essentially. And they were talking about, and this is quite interesting, because I feel like I've talked to you before about how you see the months of the year. Do you see it from, like, does it go from left to right? Does it go

from top to bottom? Does it go round in a circle? Top to bottom for me. Top to bottom. See, see mines left to right yeah what about you guys how do you see the months of the year when you look at it I think I see it like a calendar they're like stacked on each other right what about you Pixie just like a burning pile of turds probably left to right like a timeline good. Probably left to right, like a timeline, yeah. Like me, left to right.

Cause it reminded me, that reminded me of this, where they were talking about how you see your life when you think about like your past, your present, your future. Like when you think back to a memory, like are you seeing that from, so these are the different options. Essentially are you seeing your life go from left to right? Is it right to left? Is it from the back, like back to forward? Oh the past is behind you and the present is ahead of you.

Or is the past in front of you and the future's behind you? Whose past would be in front of them? What are you guys seeing your life as? Mine is left to right and it looks like a loading bar. Like I can see it. Interesting. I'm changing my answer. Future's in front, I think. Yeah, future's in front.

Moving forward. Yeah, right. I feel like mine's left to right as well. Yeah. It's like that whole, like how do you see the calendar? Like some people see it in a circle, some people see it as actual like months, some people see it left to right. Paxi, where were you 45 seconds ago? We literally just discussed that.

And you answered the question as well. I thought that was seeing the life. That's why I said I's why I said I'm changing my question, I'm changing my answer. No that's exactly what we're talking about. We get the brain doctor to study Plexi. Oh he'd have a heap to study. This is the second time you've done this in two days by the way. I can remember what it was yesterday but there was something else. You let it slide yesterday. Yeah I did. Not today. Now it's a pattern. Have you been... Now it's a pattern. Have you been? Have you been diagnosed? ADHD? Are you looking to maybe get a diagnosis? I got dropped as a child again.

Might be worth looking into ADHD. Anyway, and this is a little bit grim, but he said if you are someone who sees your past in front of you and your future behind you, it can mean this. I see the past behind me. My wife sees the past in front of her. And that's often what you see with trauma. Oh, trauma. So if you have had trauma in your past, this guy says often people will see the past in front of them.

Like Pixie being dropped as a child. Like that would be trauma. That's head trauma. A hell of a lot of trauma going on. Isn't that interesting? What does it mean to left or right then? We just got no description. Yeah, I'd have to look into that.

My five year old said to me the other day at breakfast, Dad, what if today has already happened? That's one of those creepy things kids say and you're like, mmm. And my wife, who is all about this kind of thing, just she jumped out of her seat and she said, yes girl, get it. That's what I'm talking about. Time is not linear.

That's my girl. Time is not linear. That's not how time works. Give me some more. God, she's going to love the movie The Truman Show. Good movie. Time Traveler's Wife. Also another great film. Anyway, something to think about. Quite interesting. Ask your friends and family.

I always find it, I think the most interesting one is yeah, how you see the months of the year. Yeah. Like is, I want, did any, did we meet anyone that saw it in a circle? No, but we could ask Pixie again. Yeah I'd have a different answer this time. Claudia you bought this to us a new trend where men are calling their friends to wish them a good night. It's so cute all the like dude bros are calling their dude bro friends and just being like hey man just want to say good night. I'm like they really like it so cute. Reese Mastin started this trend years ago. Did he? Yeah.

He's looking for a good night home. Should we try and get Reese Mastin's number and wish him a good night? Wish him a good night. Yeah. Yeah, we definitely should. I think he'd appreciate that. I think he would too.

This is the trend. I just want to call you and let you know I'm going to sleep, all right? All right, have a good night, okay? All right, good night, brother. Good night. Yeah, I just want to call you and let you know I'm going to sleep, all right? All right, have a good night, okay? All right, good night, brother. Good night. Yeah, I just want to call you to let you know I'm going to sleep, all right?

What happened? I just want to let you know I'm going to sleep. All right, good night. All right, good night, peace. Sweet friends. Yo. Yo, I just want to say good night, I'm going to sleep. All right, I love you.

All right, good night, love you too. That's nice. Cute. It's not wholesome, it's so cute. The sun has gone down so I feel like it's an appropriate time for me to call my friend Adam. It's like 10 past 6. Hopefully he's not going to bed at 10 past 6. Nah, but you know, I'll get in early. I'll get in early with my goodnight.

Hello, Adam, speaking. Hey, it's Clint. Oh, I'm cutting for the news news I can't do it today. No no no it won't take long I'm just not gonna get a chance to call you later so I just wanted to call now and say wish you a good night. Good night. Yes thank you. Have a good sleep. Have a lovely night. Have a good sleep okay. I will. You go. Alright, love you. Love you. See ya. Bye. He's a serious, he's a serious journalist, okay? I like how he was like, I don't have time for this shit. I've got a real job.

Well, he said it, okay? He said, I love you. Yeah, he did. He begrudgingly. He said goodnight. I think he just said it to get you off the phone. I'd do it with my dad, but I'm pretty sure he's already asleep.

No, I think he would be. He'd be tucked up in bed already.
