The ZM Podcast Network. Hey everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast where there's no Claudia, COVID, and there's no Ella, suspected COVID. Just me and you and fill-in producer, Megan. Are other countries still like... There's big waves in Australia and obviously a big wave here at the moment too. I've started wearing my mask on the bus again. Have you?

Just because you don't want it. Yeah, but then I thought about it. I was like at two The Killers concerts last night, so I was like, what's the point, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that Friday Jams Live gig. Yeah. We stood out the back of the mosh pit though.

Intentionally? Yeah. Really? Yeah, because I'm short and I couldn't gig. Yeah. Yeah. We stood out the back of the mosh pit though. Intentionally? Yeah. Really? Yeah, because I'm short and I couldn't see. Mainly that reason. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay.

And to dance. I still haven't, and I don't say this to brag because I don't want it and I don't want to tempt fate. I still haven't had it. You probably have. You just don't know. You reckon? Yeah.

Some people literally don't even know that they've had it. Like me? Yeah. Like Megan didn't know that she had it. Until day eight or nine. Oh, really? Yeah. There's people who don't know they're pregnant until they're sitting on the toilet and they're like, oh, God.

I feel like that could never be me. There's a story that we didn't do on our show today about a lady who knew she was pregnant, but found out at the seven-month mark that it was triplets. What about all the scans that they have? It didn't come up. That's wild. Isn't it? Yeah.

I guess maybe the person was looking for one heartbeat, found it. They're like, all right, don't bother looking anymore. At seven months, when they'd already bought one cot and one pram and one car seat they're like, yeah, triplets. Oh my god, I thought you meant when she was giving birth and she popped out one and then they're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That happens though.

That has happened in the past, but no, no they were still up inside of her. Have you ever thought to yourself Yeah, that was weird. Have you ever thought to yourself, like choice of words. Yeah, that was weird. Have you ever thought to yourself, like, imagine if we were like dogs and we had like... Litters. We had eight nipples and we had eight babies at a time. I haven't thought of that before.

Dogs are built, and cats, and obviously a lot of animals, but let's just concentrate on dogs and cats, are built with eight nipples they come equipped with. Big nipples. Yeah. What's the most number eight nipples they come equipped with. Big nipplers. Yeah. What's the most number of nipples you would like? Two. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's a good point. Harry Styles has four.

Does he? Yeah. Really? What are they called when you have, are they called nubbins? I'm not sure. Real nipples? Yeah. Really?

Yeah. They're real tiny though. Yeah. Smaller than mine No Yeah, yeah Like his extra ones Oh, his extra ones are smaller than mine Yeah, not his normal ones

No one has that small of nipples I'd be fine with no nipples As a man You don't need them They're just markers at this stage They're just to show your mid-chest region Do you think if girls had no nipples But still like the boob They're just markers at this stage. They're just to show your mid-chest region. That's all they're for. Do you think if girls had no nipples but still, like, the boob,

that we would be able to walk around topless? Great question. That is a great question. How amazing. Do you think if you had no nipples, men would still be obsessed with them? Well, they're still, like, bouncy. Imagine. Fun bags.

Like, how. Trademark term How superior Are our nipples to your guys nipples Our nipples create Food technically You could milk yourself in the morning If you ran out of milk Your nipples are superior they're useful

Ours are useless Ours are just a hangover from I believe it's before the embryo decides Whether it's Isn't it right? Yeah Yeah I think so Before it

Because does that Is that it? It's good to have options Up until a certain point You know Good to have an option So where's your wanger? You know

If they're hanging onto the nipples How come you didn't get Temporary donger? Or maybe you did And it's what turns into Something else Maybe I don't know That stuff is quite fascinating What about the woman That we also nearly talked about really donger. Or maybe you did and it's what turns into something else. Maybe.

I don't know. That stuff is quite fascinating. What about the woman that we also nearly talked about on the show today? Or not the woman, but a baby was born from a 30-year-old embryo. This one's crazy.

Yeah. So this couple used this frozen embryo from 1992. Crazy. Isn't that mental? So it's not theirs, obviously. The couple look like they're in their early 30s. The embryo from 1992. Crazy. Isn't that mental? So it's not theirs, obviously. The couple look like they're in their early 30s. The embryo is about as old as they are.

So that egg was fertilized at the same time they were. That's wild. I think it was Nick Cannon's. Sorry, that wasn't very good. A kid comes out With a yo-yo Wearing tearaway pants From the embryo He's like

Hey guys What time is Ninja Turtles on And they're like Sit down man We've got a lot of shit To catch you up on That's wild Because do you think

It was someone that Had obviously Their embryos In storage And then Yeah Obviously And then never got to use it

And then donated it I guess yeah Do you have to pay To keep it on ice That whole time It's so expensive Yeah It's very expensive

Because I know people Who They've finished having their kids And they still had two Embryos left Yeah On ice And they started

Offering them around They were like We're not going to use these Oh they're good people But we don't want them On ice anymore Because that would save people We don't want to pay A shit ton of money And you don't going to use these. Oh, they're good people. But we don't want them on ice anymore. Because that would save people a shit ton of money. And you don't have to use them either.

It's like a storage locker. You just have to take over the payments. You pay for the, yeah. You know, one of my friends back home in Aussie, he actually works in radio too, was I believe one of the first IVF babies in Australia. That's amazing. That's cool.

Yeah. And so he'd be in his 30s now. Yeah. Yeah. They used to call them test tube babies, eh? Yeah. So inhumane to call them that. When he told me that, I was like, whoa.

I was like, that's blown my mind. Can you imagine when they figured that technology out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like science. Yeah. Like there was no options, nothing like that for people yeah you know back in the day yep that's amazing now all they've got to do is eradicate the man part and you guys don't need us at all you can impregnate yourself you can feed yourself they they came up with a thing where they

believe they can grow a fetus outside of the womb yeah i. What? Like the Matrix. Yeah. Apparently there is technology where it's not like super advanced, but they have, yeah, like started creating that technology. Jeez, if you started listening to this podcast and you were a bit stoned, I hope we haven't tripped you out too much. Not a good podcast intro to listen to.

Fuck, man. I feel like I don't have much to add, but I'm happy to be here. Let's go, everybody. Enjoy the podcast. We'll catch you guys back tomorrow. Bye. Bye.

I'm coming in. Well, howdy, pilgrim. Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Brian Clint Show. Clint, how good is Black Friday sales? Oh, I'm fizzing for it. Have you found good ones? Yeah, I think so. Well, I've just had the realisation I do all my Christmas shopping now.

Like it's Boxing Day. Is that why they exist, Black Friday sales? Could be. Is that why they do it? It could be. I was in America for a couple of Black Friday sales, and it is... Chaos, eh? Mayhem.

Yeah. Yep, just absolute chaos. Is it meant to be the day after? It's the day after Thanksgiving. So is Thanksgiving always on a Thursday? I don't know. How does that work? It's a great question.

Is Thanksgiving a floating date? You and I have talked about Thanksgiving before. What day is Thanksgiving? What a punish to have to have an extra, an extra, like a month out from Christmas. We have to see your family again. Cook a whole Thanksgiving dinner. And then a month later, cook a whole Christmas dinner.

I think it might be the last Thursday of November. Is it? Yeah. So it is floating. Thursday the 24th of November. So do Americans get Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving? I think so, yeah. Right, you get a four-day

weekend. I think it's a four-day weekend, yeah. What a weird country. I mean, I wouldn't say no. Thursday, turkey with your family. Friday, head down to the shopping centre and murder somebody to get a flat-screen TV. I remember one year, this friend of mine really wanted certain things

and we all liked that episode on Friends. She gave us all whistles and then she was like, this is the plan. Once the doors open we spread out to find the things and if you locate one you blow the whistle. Well thank God you can do most of it online now.

We will be celebrating Black Friday with the warehouse before 5 o'clock. We're going to play Black Friday Jinx. We've got two really good items up for grabs. Yesterday we gave away a barbecue and a flat screen TV. Yeah, and it actually worked. Both of them said a different item, so they each got to take that item home. Do you reckon, just a quick one.

Yeah. Do you reckon we can stop calling them flat screen TVs now and just call them TVs? It's just a TV. Because the other ones don't exist. It would be more novel if we were giving away a box TV. It would be. Should we bring the box TV back? How?

How would we do that? They don't even have an HDMI input. You can't plug anything into it. Mate, record players came back. We should bring back the box TV. Right, okay. You might be pushing shit uphill there. People are like, it's the bad picture quality

for me and the tiny screen. That's what I really like. It comes with a built-in VHS player. Those were iconic. We're going to play Tradie vs. Lady next, though.

If you want to win $50 cash, thanks to KFC, you should give us a call right now on 0800-DIAL-ZM. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.

Yeah, a few hurdles there. Okay, you're taking on our tradie today. He's also from the Tron. He's 37, and he can hold his breath underwater for three minutes. Welcome to the show, Mark. Wow. Mark, that is very impressive. Are you a free diver or something?

Yeah, I did a bit of diving as a young fella. Did you used to do that trick, like if you were in the pool and your family were sitting around where you'd just go face down and lie there and try and convince them that you drowned and just lie there until someone came over? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Classic gag, eh? Classic gag.

Okay, you are taking on, sorry, your buzzer is tradie, Paige, yours is lady. First three correct answers goes home with $50 cash from KFC and the tradie versus lady title. Good luck. Good luck, guys. Here comes question number one. I don't mean to alarm anyone, but it is 33 days until Christmas.

What is the traditional date to wait for until you put your tree up? Lady. Yes, Paige. 1st of December. That is correct, 1st of December, although some people do go early. I'm going early. I'm going this weekend. Mine was up two weeks ago.

Yeah, there you go. Yep, why not? Why not? Question number two, one to the ladies. Hit TV show The White Lotus is back for season two on Neon. It's amazing. It stars Jennifer Coolidge. Whose mum did she play in the iconic American Pie movie series?

I'm taking the dog, dumbass. Question number three, one apiece. Hey, Stifler, how's the pale ale? Stifler's mom. Anyway, the jelly tip ice cream was released in which decade? Was it the 50s, the 70s or the 90s? Trady. Mark, just.

70s. Oh, no. That is correct. Paige, the 50s or the 90s? 50s. That is on the money. Two to the ladies, one to the tradies. Question number four.

What was this Macklemore protest song written about? I can't change. Yes, Paige. Same-sex marriage, same-sex relationship. That is correct. Marriage equality. And that's the win. Oh, that's the win.

Well done, Paige. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. Mark's like, oh, I didn't even realise we'd started. Neither did we, Mark. Hey, well done, Paige. Some days you know them, some days you don't. That's right, man.

That is all the money, Mark. Give it another go. The ladies needed a win, and Paige, you've done it. There's 50 bucks cash coming to you from KFC. Well done. Awesome, thank you. Nice work, Paige. Good game today.

Bree and Clint. I love these stories. I used to, really when I was a kid, I'd go and take advantage of this. It's when a company accidentally prices something wrong and you pounce on it. You're like, oh, oh, got you, got you. Mistake.

You've got to honour the price that you put it up for. That's the law. If you put the price up, you have to sell it to me for that price. And I used to live off that. I would like buy shit that I didn't even want just because it was discounted. And I was like, no, you have to. It's Consumer Guarantees Act.

You have to sell it to me at that price. Some Reddit users last week found this one, posted it on Reddit, shared the love, I guess. Okay. They're like, I've already cashed in on this one, baby. on Reddit, shared the love, I guess. They're like, I've already cashed in on this one, baby. Everybody else get in there before they take it down. They reported that a medium McChicken combo at McDonald's was selling for $4.50 on Uber Eats. Is that, that's cheaper?

Because normally it's like what? Well, the usual price is $13.70, so you tell me if it's cheaper. Whoa, that's a lot cheaper. You tell me if that's cheaper. That's like... Well, a usual price is $13.70, so you tell me if it's cheaper. Whoa, that's a lot cheaper. You tell me if that's cheaper. That's like $19.90 prices. It is. Pretty much. A combo for under $5.

And Uber Eats, they always jack up the prices for delivery. They do, eh? And they just put extra on to pay people, yeah. So that was in the Uber Eats app. I wonder whose balls up that was. Was that McDonald's or was that Uber Eats mistake? Who's copping it? I reckon both companies are fine.

I reckon they'll take the loss and they'll move on. I don't think it's going to cripple them. I don't know if they'll go under from that mistake, but you'd be in trouble, that's for sure, whoever did it. The Reddit user, the whistleblower, said that the deal had actually been in place for three days by the time they reported it. Oh, he's such a vigilante. I reckon by the time it hit the internet, though, it came down pretty fast.

Well, why did he put it up on the internet? At either McDonald's or Uber, to share the love. This person can only eat so many $4.50 McChicken combos, Brie. I could have eaten a fair few in three days. I reckon as soon as it hit the internet and it started popping up, someone at HQ, I like to think of them as like Tom Cruise in Minority Report and they're like

moving deals around on the swipe board and they're like Boss, we're seeing a severe spike in McChicken combos. We have an issue at the Uber Eats centre. We have an issue. Jesus Christ man, it's been discounted by 67% for three days! McDonald's

is going to go under! We talked about this beforehand and fill-in producer Megan piped up and she said, I got a ripper of these when I was a kid. Megan, you want to tell us about the mispriced discount that you took advantage of? So I went to the warehouse Of these when I was a kid. Megan, you want to tell us about the mispriced discount that you took advantage of?

So I went to the warehouse and I was looking for a skateboard and there was some there. Shaka bra. And like the... Pop a kickflip. I mean, I can't. A little pop shove it. Obviously trying to live.

A little bit of an ollie. Yeah. And then I looked at the price tags and it said $200 on the little metal bit. But when I actually picked up the SpongeBob skateboard, it had a check mark on it that said $20. Whoa. Okay, so you take it to the counter? And they just sold it to me for $20. Mate, that is money in the bank.

Well done. I mean, I used it once and then I went away for a week, and mum had sold it. So she probably made profit on it. I was going to say, at that kind of discount, that's crazy. That's 90%. It should have stopped up. That discount is 90% off.

It should have stopped up. Your mum bought a house in Christchurch from the profit she made off that skateboard. To be fair, I feel like $200 for a SpongeBob skateboard is mispriced as well. It seems like a lot. In the other direction. It seems like very expensive.

I mean, this was like a decade ago. Yeah, still. But yeah, it's no like push scooter. I remember I went to a garage sale with one of my mates a few years ago and she was an avid garage sale attendee. She used to love it. I went with her this one day and she used to have her things. She would actually make money off stuff she would buy.

She was a hustler. That's why she would go. Anyway, she found this, it was a set of, they were like trading cards. There was baseball cards in there. There was Pokemon cards and there was all different types of cards. And on it, it said $1. For the set? No, $1 per card.

Oh, yeah, okay. But it didn't say that. And she goes, $1 for this whole box. And they go, no, it's $1 per card. She goes, no, you didn't write that. It's $1 for the whole thing. And I was like, let's go, let's go. It's an old lady trying to sell some stuff. Yeah, that's just a

family trying to make ends meet. I ended up having to rip her away from the deal. This old lady selling her grandson's heirlooms begrudgingly because she can't keep the power on. I felt so awkward. I was like, stop trying to haggle with this poor old lady.

Yeah, that's different, I reckon. That's not the same. We want to know this afternoon, when did you take advantage of a pricing error? Like you saw it and you're like, oh, I know that is the wrong price. I'm going to get a good deal here. They have to sell this to me. Consumer guarantees.

They made a big mistake. Oh, $800 at M? Or you can text it in to 9696. Bree and Clint. When you do this, you know you're being a little bit cheeky, but sometimes it feels good, right?

Sometimes it feels like you're getting one back on the big guys. Yeah, unless it's not the big guys and you've taken the small businesses to the cleaners,

then... That's a whole other story. Maybe you should think twice. What we're asking is, when did you take advantage of a pricing error? You store it on the shelves and you're like,

there's no way. There's no way that that is meant to be that cheap. Not a chance. And you take it it on the shelves and you're like, there's no way, there's no way that that is meant to be that cheap. Not a chance. And you take it up to the counter and you go, honour my rights, you advertised it, you have to sell it to me for this price. There's so many coming through on the text machine.

Someone said, I got three pairs of children's high top converses for $9.99 a pair. Whoa. They were supposed to be on special for $59.99 like the other colours were. Thanks, Platypus Shoes, for honouring that. Good on you, Platypus, for following through. Good on you, guys. I like the one you just read before.

Which one? Oh, I'll read that one. This one's so good. Someone goes, here's how I picture them to talk. Six months ago, Pack and Save had rosemary and garlic butter sticks for 96 cents instead of $3.96. So thinking to myself, a bit of a glam moment, I bought half a dozen and I don't even like garlic butter sticks.

They said, it's not really a deal then, is it? That's so good. I would have done the same. Eve. Eve's called up. Hi. Hi, Eve. Hi.

What was the pricing mistake that you took full advantage of, Eve? It was a bit of a miscalculation actually at the counter. I was getting sushi and it was like $18 or something, but she didn't put enough zeros in and she charged me for $1.80. And I saw it on the machine and I just tapped my card and then I left. Oh, Eve. So you knew. So you knew.

Yeah. That's like the modern day equivalent of when they give you your change back, but they give you more than what you gave them. An extra note by Mr. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you have a mild ethical dilemma before you tapped your card, Eve? You're like, am I stealing from the sushi shop? Nah.

Okay, that's between you and your God, Eve, so thank you for calling. Let's talk to Millie. Hi, Millie. G'day, Millie. Kia ora. What was the pricing mistake you took advantage of, Millie? My husband and I, we went on a shopping spree and we found some red Air Maxes.

Oh, yeah, nice. Yeah. They tend to go for like $200, $250. Okay, wow. Anyway, it was the last two pairs in the country, I think, and they scanned them up for us and they were $19. What? $19?

Was that a mistake? Yeah. I think they make it heaps cheap if it's the last pair, which makes no sense to me. Yeah. You're like, that's scarcity, baby. Drive those prices up. Oh, yeah.

Unless it's like a really, like, you know, unique size, like a US size three ladies or something. No, it was pretty mainstream sizes. It was 2.11. So I got a pair for my husband and one for my dad. And he still thinks that we paid full price. Yeah, nice. How good did you look, Millie?

And you just took all the credit. I love it. You've got to ask yourself, did you want red Air Maxes? At that price, you definitely do, eh? $19. I want red Air Maxes. This text is so good. Someone said,

when I was at uni, we learnt about the CGA. Then I found a ring on Meadowlark's website for $0, purchased it, paid shipping only, then got an email pleading with me to cancel the order. Guilt got the better of me

and I cancelled the order the next day. Yeah, see, even though the CGA, the Consumer Guarantees Act is on your side, it's like you said before with the small business thing. That ring cost Meadowlark a lot of money.

You know? Yeah. Probably the most expensive one on the website. But I mean, zero dollars, great deal. Someone said, not me,

it was my mother. She saw a $250 rug mispriced for $65. They tried to sell her no, but she bought up the Consumer Guarantees Act. They eventually caved, so she bought two of them for $65. How did she walk out of there with two for $65?

The Consumer Guarantees Act. I would not like to marry into that family. I feel like it'd be hard to win an argument. Finally, Jeremy, what was the pricing mistake that you took advantage of? My partner and I were going to Europe a couple of years ago and my partner was walking through Sylvia Park and one of the travel agencies that's no longer there

was advertising return flights to London for $7.99. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, $7.99. Oh, whoa. Yeah, yeah, $7.99. So we went in. We'd already planned a big trip anyway. Yeah. So we tried to make them work with those dates, but they weren't going to work with those dates.

So we said, stop it, we'll go anyway. So we went in, we asked them. It took them nearly two days to say, yeah, we're going to give it to you. We're going to honour it, yeah. A lot of convincing on our behalf about the consumer guarantee. And yeah, they honoured it. So they didn't meet up with the trip that we wanted to do.

So we did a trip to London and Portugal for two weeks. And then we came back in five weeks later, we went and did the trip that we'd actually... I love that. So you actually didn't get a deal at all. You ended up paying money that you didn't intend to spend just because the price was so good.

You're like, we're already going. I'm losing money if I don't buy these flights. I'm wasting money if I don't. Time to head over and get the latest from our Hollywood correspondent,

Dean McCarthy. From iHeartRadio, this story really is in full flight now. We covered it last week. Joe Lycett, the comedian, said he would shred $10,000 of his own money if David Beckham didn't stand down from being the face of the World Cup that's in Qatar at the moment. He shredded the money on livestream, but he's now released another statement. He has.

And here's the thing. When he shredded $10,000, which he said, I'm either going to shred the money or donate the money, depending on how David Beckham responds to being an ambassador for the World Cup in Qatar. Well, he shredded, in inverted commas, the money. Now, when he shredded the money, the backlash Cup in Qatar. Well, he shredded, in greater commas, the money. Now, when he shredded the money, the backlash was so intense.

People were like, why would you shred $10,000 when you could have donated that to, you know, let's be honest, countless, countless charities. Have a listen to this because he's now revealed that don't worry, chill out, everyone.

He didn't actually shred cash. Check this out. This is my final message to David Beckham. I told you I was going to destroy £10,000 if you didn't end your relationship with Qatar before the first day of the World Cup. And then, when you didn't end your relationship or even respond in any way,

I streamed myself dropping 10k into a shredder. Or did I? In fact, the 10 grand had already been donated to LGBTQ plus charities before I even pressed fact, the ten grand had already been donated to LGBTQ plus charities before I even pressed send on the initial tweet last week. I never expected to hear from you. It was an empty threat. In many ways,

it was like your deal with Qatar, David. Total bullshit from the start. This is your Attitude magazine cover from June 2002. The first ever cover of a gay magazine with a Premier League footballer on it. I asked Attitude if I could shred it and they were more than happy to oblige.

Wow. So he did shred something. David Beckham's gay icon status. He's made, he's done what, even though David Beckham didn't pull out I think Joe Lysette has achieved what he set out to achieve with this

because he's drawn attention to it. And he's got a conversation started. That's what his goal was and he has done it. What do you think, Dean, about this whole David Beckham being the face of the World Cup? First of all, just like you said, the way that Joe handled this is so brilliant because he did get everyone talking about it. No one, I mean, very few people would have even realized

that this was all playing out had he not drawn attention in this way. I am obviously very disappointed in David Beckham. I'll tell you why. Because he doesn't need the money. No. He makes that money in like a week, right? They're so rich. I'm very, very, very surprised because, as you may know,

he's extremely close friends with, like, Elton John and David Burnish. And I know that from just their social circles and that, that you can see through the press, they have a ton of gay friends. He is a gay icon. He's always been a gay icon. And even being the first big athlete to be on the cover of Attitude was such an awesome thing for him to do.

So for him not to pull out, doesn't need the money, doesn't need the relationship, doesn't need the fame or the press. He's got all that. So I am disappointed that he hasn't reacted, to be honest. Even though it sounds like he would bend it, I just think he should have bent to it. Nice. Perfectly

put, Dean. I agree with you completely. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. Macquarie Dictionary, which I think is an Aussie dictionary, but we all know what a dictionary is. They run a competition. We all know what a dictionary is.

The Australian one has more things like cobber and mate. Yeah, and crikey. And suck up the salve. Stuff like that. They have a thing where they run a dictionary People's choice word of the year Oh yeah And this year there's quite a few rip snorters in there

Okay And I thought we could go through a few of the words And essentially what it is Is I believe words that have become popular in that year And the people's choice words get added to the dictionary? I think so. I think that's how it works. Seems risky.

You know when they've left things up to people in the past? We've ended up with Boaty McBoatface and Plainy McPlainface and Trainy McTrainface. I just feel like some people would abuse the privilege. But let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Talk to me about some words of the year. Some of the words of the year that are included in this year's finalist, yassify and yassification.

That's where you like face tune the hell out of yourself, eh? How did you know that? I didn't know that. Yeah, people meme quite a lot. They yassify the cast of Friends. I didn't know that. Yeah. People meme quite a lot. They Yarsify the cast of Friends. I didn't know that. And they Yarsify the Kardashians who arguably have been Yarsified in real life. Yarsified.

So they have made the list. Actually, Megan would be quite good at this. Megan, do you reckon you could Yarsify a picture of Brie and I? Yeah, I could do that like in the next five minutes. Oh, cool. Okay, yeah. I'd love to see a Yarsified photo. Yeah, easy.

Let's Yarsify ourselves for Instagram. Thank you. Appreciate that. Some of the other ones, there's serious ones and then there's funny ones. One of the other ones that's in there is Bossware, software installed on an employee's computer which allows their employer to remotely monitor

and measure activity and productivity. That was huge in COVID. All these people finding out that their boss, because their boss is like, hey, yeah, work from home. Take this laptop. Don't use your own. Use this one. That's terrifying to me.

I've got my own laptop. And they're like, yeah, this one's better. This one's better. It's like being a kid and having your parents put on spyware onto the computer and stuff. Did your parents do that to you? Not to me, but I know parents did do that. My parents barely knew how to work the computer. Well, not that I know of.

My brother put spyware on the computer. Did he? Yeah. Just to see what you were Googling? Just to record my... So then he could blackmail you later on. It was for blackmail reasons, but it was more to record my MSN Messenger conversations. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. Jeez. Boss wear. Okay. Another word that is on the list as a finalist this year is Barbiecore. Okay. What's Barbiecore?

Which is the all pink fashion trend inspired by Margot Robbie's character Barbie. Jeez, that movie's not even out yet and she's already defined a fashion category. But there is one particular one that is my favourite that stands out for me and I feel like this is the word that would have my vote. It's actually a term. Okay. And the term is bachelor's handbag. I love a bachelor's handbag.

And if you don't know what that is, a bachelor's handbag is another term for a takeaway roast chicken. Yep. I love it so much. Because in recent times, they didn't used to do this. It used to come in a tray that you put in that foil paper bag. But in recent times, it now comes in a plastic bag. It's a great idea. Which has a handle on top of it.

And as a bachelor, you'll go and grab the bachelor's handbag and that will be your dinner for the next two nights. Yeah. It's my favorite term on there. I don't know who came up with it, but someone did. The bachelor's handbag. Someone did. The bachelor's handbag.

I thought we could open up our platform this afternoon and give people an opportunity to share a slang term, a word, something that they think they've come up with or maybe they've heard that they think is very unique. It's now in your vocab but you find from time to time people go

what the hell is a bachelor's handbag and you go, oh I forgot that that's not a normal thing to talk about. It's actually a hot chicken from the supermarket with handles. The bachelor's handbag. I'll throw one in the list that I only learnt at the start of this year. Yeah. And look, I'm not saying I came up with it, but I hadn't heard it before.

Yeah. And it's one of my favourite terms that I've heard in recent years. So, you know when, this one's for the ladies when you're out and about and it's quite hot and you're getting sweaty and there's a particular cleavage area that gets quite sweaty. Yeah.

That's called humidity. Humidity. That is my favourite. I love it so much. Oh, $800 at M. Or you can text them in to us on 9696. We can read them out for you as well.

We want to know the slang word that you either came up with or it's just too good for you to not use. Yeah, what's the unusual or different one that you've heard lately? We'd love to hear them text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. Okay, we're about to use our platform to spread the word about new words and terms

that people have heard. Yeah, this will update your vocab. This will really give you some new words to take into Christmas, you know, with the family and really make them go, what are you talking about? What is wrong with you? What are you on about? Is this what TikTok has done to you?

And you say, yes. You say, yas, queen. Yasify. I used it in the wrong way, didn't I? Yeah, that was the wrong way. I'm going to yasify this. Yeah, you could yasify a situation. Could you?

Yeah. Okay, great. I'm going to use that. We've asked you, what are the words that you either made up or you've come across that are so good you just can't not use them? Like this person who texted in ambidextrous, which is a guy that swings both ways. So a bisexual man is ambidextrous.

I like that. It's good. That's good. What about someone said, lots of names for a cold beverage, but my fave is Denzel Frothington. Yeah, I like it. That's good. Carolyn's here. Hi, Carolyn. Hi, Carolyn.

Hi. Yours is breast-based. What's the word you came up with? Niplash. Niplash. Carolyn, I love this one. What's niplash? So, niplash is when you're feeding your baby and they get distracted or interested in something else and they rip themselves right off. Niplash. People with a nipple piercing could get that when it gets stuck on a towel. and they get distracted or interested in something else and they rip themselves right off. Oh, yeah.

Nip lash. People with a nipple piercing could get that when it gets stuck on a towel. Oh. Yeah, nip lash is a great one. Thank you. I'll add it to my humidity titty boob phrase line-up. No. Oh, my God.

I just read a disgusting one. I'm not. What one was it? I want to read it. Prison wallet. Oh, no. You didn't have to one was it? I want to read it. Prison wallet. Oh, you didn't have to say it. You asked me to say it.

Don't read out the definition of that. Okay. No, I'm definitely not. I can, I can picture what it is. What about someone

just texts through and is it anxitement? Like anxiety and excitement? Oh, anxiety. How would you say that?

Anxietement. Anxietment. Anxietment. Yeah. Wouldn't it be? I'm anxited. Kind of like anxiety, but excited and anxious. I'm not an alcoholic.

I'm an alcoholigan. I think you might be an alcoholic. Lynn's here. Hi, Lynn. Hi, Lynn. Hi. Hi. Tell us, Lynn,

what's the new word or term that you've heard? Oh, my daughter has come up with the term neuro-spicy. Neuro-spicy. Okay, what's neuro-spicy? Well, she's neurodiverse, and she thinks some of the things she does is pretty cool, so they're neuro-spicy.

I love that. That's good. I like it. And I love that she came up with that herself. That's excellent. She's very neuro-spicy. Is she very neuro-spicy, Lynn? Oh, yeah.

Very. Oh, you've raised a good one there, Lynn. I like it. Love it. Someone texted and said, Sauvignon Blanc is referred to in our house as cougar juice. Oh, yeah, that's good. Someone said,

My word is confuzzled, confused and puzzled. I feel like, yep, I have heard that before. Fake empathy is fempathy. I like it. When you're faking empathy, you're showing fempathy. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to read it.

Did you see the other one? Oh, the woman who swings both ways? Yeah, we can't read that one out. No, you can't. It's not even, it doesn't even, like, rhyme. Is that the same person? I'm going to check. Is that the same person texting that through?

Anyway, I think we've got some goodies in there. There's lots that we can't read out, but we appreciate your input, even if it didn't make it to a year. Brian Clint. Last night, the Killers played two shows. Not one, they played two shows in Auckland. They did their regular show at Spark Arena,

and then they went and did, like, a did their regular show at Spark Arena, and then they went and did like a crazy 1am show at the Auckland Town Hall as well. Very intimate gig, once in a lifetime kind of deal. Yeah. And everyone's talking about the show and how amazing it was, but they're talking about one man in particular. His name is Taylor Johnson. He's 22. He got on stage and drummed with the Killers,

and he joins us on the show right now. Hi, Taylor. G'day, Taylor. Hello. How does it feel to be the most viral drummer in the country today? You're everywhere. Yeah, it feels like feeling. It feels like feeling.

I bet it would feel quite surreal, because tell us exactly how it happened. You actually made a sign and you were holding it up in the crowd. Is that right? Yep, that's the one. I made a big sign and said, I'm Taylor from Wellington. I want to drum for Reasons Unknown. So, you know, no potential for miscommunication there.

You've got to shoot your shot, Taylor. So you said For Reasons Unknown, which is one of my favourite Killers songs. Good on you. Had they already played that song by the time Brandon Flowers from the Killers saw your sign, or were you lucky enough that it hadn't come up in the set list yet? Nah, I don't actually think they were going to play it at all.

Right. Whoa, that's even cooler, Taylor. Did you select a song that you thought might not be in the set list for that reason? Well, I actually, funny story, I selected it because I've actually done it with them once before. What do you mean? Tell us the story. In a pretty much identical situation, they came to Wellington back in 2018. Yeah. And I knew they were playing it on that tour

and I wanted to play it then. So again, I made a sign that said, I can drum for even some known. And waited outside from like 9am. And yeah, every time Brandon Flowers came over to our side, I held it up in his face because I've got nice long arms so I can reach over. Yeah. Yeah, and when it over to our side, I held it up in his face because I've got nice long arms so I can reach over. Yeah.

Yeah, and when it came to that song, they saw me. It's like, yeah, right, get up there. Yeah. No way. So I reckon they remembered you from last time. Yeah, 2018's not that long ago. You did an incredible job. The crowd was so into it.

Here's a little bit of crowd iPhone footage of you drumming with the Killers at Spark Arena last night. Yes, Taylor! You even got the pauses in the right place. Living your best life, mate. I need to ask, obviously you've done this twice with the Killers. Is there anyone else that you would hold up a sign and hope to drum with in the future?

Yeah, because My Chemical Romance are coming to New Zealand next year. Yes. Yep. What's the My Chemical Romance song you're choosing? Ooh. Helena. I was? Ooh. Helena. I was going to say Helena.

I was just about to say that exact same song, or I'm not okay. Okay, well, Tyler, you must still be on Cloud 9. Congratulations. He's on The Herald. The video of him drumming with the killers is on The Herald right now. He's the serial fill-in drummer for anyone that comes to town. Thank you, Taylor, for chatting with us. Thank you.

There we go, everybody. If anyone's looking for a drummer, hit up Taylor. He's available. He knows what he's doing. Bree and Clint. That's not appropriate. You know, I could literally take you to HR for what you just did. That's off air.

I could literally... Mate, the amount of things you've showed me. Bree just showed me a picture of a cat's penis going in and out. I'd never seen one before. I'd never seen one either. That was very confronting. It looks like a very sharp lipstick. I mean, we're used to dogs. Like, you've seen that. I'm not that

used to the dog one. When it comes out, I didn't know that it came out because I've never had a dog before. Oh, didn't you? I thought it was just that hairy tube. Comes out less when they've had the old snipperoo. I thought that hairy, like, turret, but I'm making a really bad gesture at the moment. Yeah, why are you doing that?

I'm going to take you to HR now. Let's call it even. Don't make that gesture at me. Okay, we're even. We had a weird chat this afternoon about rooms that were never meant to be bedrooms and yet you ended up having that as a bedroom. Yeah.

Because you had a flatmate that had it, right? Yeah, a flatmate of mine. We all lived in this flat and there was three bedrooms in the flat. It was like a townhouse. And she moved out and went overseas for six months. And when she came back, she was like, I don't want to live anywhere else. I want to live here. But you'd replaced her.

We've rented out your room. You can't live here. And she goes, well, how about I go to Ikea, I pick up a few bits and pieces, put a bit of a floor down, and I can make the garage my bedroom. Love it. Love it. And then I'll pay more rent so everyone's rent goes down. Anyway, so we made this makeshift bedroom in the garage,

which is against the law. Yeah, it's definitely against the law. It's not insulated. No. And so there's the washing machine. It's not even lined. And dryer. And then we put sheets up over that.

And then every time we had to have an inspection we would have to take up the whole room yeah her whole bedroom but you know the worst part was is that one of our the flatmate that used to park in the garage yeah for the first couple of weeks she kind of would forget that bed. Open the garage door. And she would press the garage door and it would open, but her bed was sitting in front of where the garage door would come up. That is so funny. Oh, to be in your early 20s again, eh?

I had two examples of this. When we flatted in Christchurch, my brother came down to live with us in the second year of university. And in this flat, there were five bedrooms. There were already five of us staying there. Right. There was a sewing room. It was real small.

You could only just fit a single bed in there if you like really manoeuvred it in. Okay. And your feet had to be like up against the wall. Totally. Yeah. But we did it and it made our rent so cheap having another person in there. I bet. But we had the same problem.

Wait, how much did he pay for a room that barely could fit a single bed? $45 a week. Oh, yeah, that seems about right. And he didn't have to live at home. He's like, oh, sick, man. Yeah. We had the same problem. Whenever we had an inspection, we would just take all his stuff out

and leave the bed there and say, oh, we just use it as a day bed. If someone wants some alone time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When they came around, we had to hide my brother. So we put him in the wardrobe and it never occurred to us. Put him in the closet. You shouldn't do that.

But it never occurred to us that he could just like go to McDonald's or go into town. Or go see a friend. Or just be in the lounge and be like, oh, my brother's visiting for the day. He's here. Yeah. We hid him in the wardrobe. That is so, like, makes you look so guilty.

The other one was my cousins and their mum moved in with my nan. So they moved into her house. And as the girls got older, they wanted their own rooms, but there weren't enough bedrooms so my nan, bless her, rest her soul turned the kitchenette into a bedroom but it was right next to the kitchen and it had one of those things

you know how the 70s houses used to have like Like a butler's pantry she turned into a room Imagine living in the butler's pantry It was like a really small dining room It was just off the kitchen. But it had those 70s kitchens where it had cupboards on the bottom and then cupboards on the top.

And there was like a really thin like servery through the middle. So you could just look through there into her bedroom. Not much privacy. Sheets up so that you couldn't go. Not ideal. So she slept in the kitchenette for like four or five years. I mean, good for late night snacks. Very good for late night snacks. Very good for late night snacks.

Best place to be. Let's ask people. Let's put it out to the people. 0800 dials at M. What was the bedroom that wasn't actually meant to be a bedroom? Yeah. Like where was it? For whatever reason, it ended up being a bedroom.

I reckon it's happened a lot in flatting situations. Imagine if a guy called Harry calls. Converted under the stairs. Yep. Yeah. Yep, we know who that is. 800-DIAL-ZM. Or you can text it in to 9696.

We want to know the room that was never meant to be a bedroom. Bree and Clint. This is quite a funny conversation topic. We're asking you, what was the bedroom that was never meant to be a bedroom? And did you sleep in it? You should have seen when my family we went to Queenstown this was years ago for a family

holiday and my mum invited her twin sister and their immediate family. So there was heaps of us and we booked this one big house but it wasn't big enough for everyone and me and my brother had to sleep. So there was like this big hallway and there was a desk where computers were and my brother and I had to sleep under the computer desk.

And we were 27. So we're asking you that very same question. What was the bedroom that was never meant to be a bedroom? Hi, Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin. Hi. What was it for you? So my partner, actually my partner, was living in a flat at the time.

Oh, no. And his bedroom was the laundry. He lived on an air mattress. On an air mattress. It gets worse, Caitlin. What did attract you to him? Technically, I met him before the laundry situation. Gotcha, okay.

Do you mean like a disused laundry? So they'd taken out the washing machine and the dryer and the laundry powder? No, absolutely not. They used the washing machine and the dryer and the laundry powder? No, absolutely not. They used the washing machine and the dryer while he was sleeping. I don't mean to laugh. The poor bugger. How did he end up in the laundry on an air mattress? He had to leave the flat that he was in,

and there was my cousin's house it was, so he moved in there. Eventually, when someone else moved out, he got a bedroom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's only temporary, bro, but in the meantime, I've got a lot of washing to do, so please, can you lean your earmatches up against the wall? Someone leaves their laundry in the washing machine and the whole room just stinks of that wet laundry smell.

Oh, Jane's here. Hi, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hello. How are you? We're good. What was the room that was never meant to be a bedroom, Jane's here. Hi, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hello. How are you? We're good. What was the room that was never meant to be a bedroom, Jane? Okay, so it was a flat that had a lockable door at the bottom of the stairs

that opened into what was actually underneath the house. So it was the dirt underneath the house. Gotcha. And so it was my first flat. It was me and two of my male friends. And it was on like a sloping section. So underneath the flat was like a kind of sloped, you know, dirt situation. Jane, they didn't make you sleep under the house, did they?

No, no, no. I didn't sleep under there. Who did? Who's still one of my best friends. I'm not going to say his name. I'm not going to say what his name is. Say his goddamn name, Jane. He slept under the house in the dirt.

He slept on the dirt. Well, he didn't sleep on the dirt. What he did was, because he's a very innovative chap who now owns quite a bit of real estate in Wellington. Yeah, because he was traumatised from having to sleep under a house. He said, one day I'm going to own one of these things and I vow to sleep inside most nights of the week.

And he took cardboard boxes and opened them out and made like a floor and walls and we painted them and all kinds. I'm just picturing you down there with a paintbrush going, it's not so bad.

It's not so bad. It'll be fine. Jane's like, oh, wish I could sleep under the house. Unless it rains, then you're really in trouble. And we used to hide the key because when the landlord came from inspections, we used to say we lost the key to that door. Please tell me, I need to know one thing. The guy that slept under the house in the dirt,

you didn't make him pay rent, did you? Oh, yeah. Oh, Jane! It wasn't my idea. It was his freaking idea. I don't reckon it was. I reckon Jane's like a master manipulator and she's like, you told me, you told me you want to sleep under here.

I gave you the option of a master bedroom. I wanted to sleep under the house, but you forced me to have a bedroom. You get quite sweaty at night time and it's a nice breeze down here. Thank you, Jane. Finally, Anonymous, what was the room that was never meant to be a bedroom? What was it? Hey, similar story to what you were saying before. I was overseas for six months, came home,

and ended up sleeping in the toilet for the rest of the year. You're kidding me, Anonymous. It was, please tell me no one else had to use that toilet. It was just your toilet. No, there was two in the house. It was like a laundry toilet. So before I got home, the rest of the guys had demolished the wall between the two rooms. It was just big enough to fit a bed in there and I stayed in there for the rest of the six months.

So would sometimes you... Yeah, sorry, go on. We had intended to rebuild the wall, but I came home one night and there was a bonfire on the backyard and all of the timber and the door and everything had been chucked on. Just quickly, Anonymous, sometimes would your flatmates come in and do a big dump in your bedroom slash toilet? Absolutely not, mate.

Right, okay. Hey, Anonymous, I can just picture you get up, you know, the morning, you're sitting there having breakfast and your flatmates are like, how'd you sleep? And you're like, yeah, a bit of a shitty sleep. Well, the funny thing was, like, the next year, I actually managed to upgrade to a bedroom and we managed to find a person who willingly did it for a year.

No! How much did you charge? How much did you charge for that? $30 a week. Not bad. Hey, pretty cheap. Not bad. I'd think about it for that price.

Such good stories. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, here we go. Your birthdays. The songs that were number one on your 16th,

and we'll play our favourite one. Coincidentally, the same age that the government wants to lower voting to. 16. Very coincidental. I saw that on the news last night. Looking to put through at the moment. Do you think you would have voted responsibly as a 16-year-old? Absolutely not.

I was dumb as a doornail. You'd be like, who is a legalised cannabis party? as a 16-year-old? Absolutely not. I was dumb as a doornail. You'd be like, who is the legalised cannabis party? But I mean, I don't think you should go off me as a person. No. No, I feel like if you are inclined

to vote as a 16-year-old, then you should. Because if you give enough of a crap, then go for it. If it's something that you care about and you want to vote, then go for it. I saw a really interesting argument about it.

I'm going to park this, by the way, we're going to talk about this. But one kid said, don't give us the vote. Leave us as, let us be children for as long as possible. Don't put the burden

of voting on us. And others were like, I mean, it's a good argument. And it's pretty good. Others were like, no, it's going to be our world to inherit very shortly. Give us some say.

But the kid was like, leave me alone for a little bit longer. Yeah, I still haven't, I'm world to inherit very shortly. Give us some say. But the kid was like, leave me alone for a little bit longer. Yeah, I still haven't. I'm late to hit puberty, so I'm still dealing with that. Yeah, and they said that puberty thing on the AM show. It was very brave. Let's do a birthday banger for Dina.

What? Really, Sarah? I know J-Lo, but I haven't heard that song. Haven't heard that one. Okay. It's a good J-Lo song. Okay, wait there. We've got to go back to Dina. Dina, are you there with us?

Probably J-Lo, actually. Probably J-Lo, yeah. What would you pick, Shannon, if you had your choice of the three? Probably J-Lo, actually. Probably J-Lo, yeah. Yeah, me too, I'd say. The question is, have we played it too many times now? Oh, you've never played J-Lo too many. I agree. Never. Never. Never. Yeah, Shannon. Hey, Sarah, we tried to give your

birthday banger to Dina, and then Shannon chose it as the winner, but it's yours, and you've won birthday banger, so congratulations. And then Shannon chose it as the winner. But it's yours. And you've won birthday banger. So congratulations. Yay. Sarah, what a mess. But we got there in the end, mate.

Nice work. Bray and Clint, birthday bangers at M. You had my love and I gave you all my trust. But you come for me. Bray and Clint. Clint, let's talk tight ends. And I'm not talking about the NFL. No, you're talking about tight asses.

Yeah. Different from a tight end. Same thing. Is it? Tight ass is a tight end. Is it? No, a tight ass is a tight end, but someone who's cheap is not a tight end. They're a tight ass.

Right, yeah, same, same. Okay. It's same, same. Cheapos, we're talking about cheapos. Cheapos. Yeah, I saw this video of a girl who talked about a relationship she used to be in where there's a few red flags that pop up for me as she's talking about this ex-boyfriend. But there's one main story that she covers where her boyfriend could not let it go.

This particular thing. Take a listen to how much of a tired ass her ex-boyfriend was let's start with my ex-boyfriend so we dated for three years okay and i met his family once during that time the trip was fine we mostly did our own thing but we did eat with the mom for dinner one night and for breakfast one morning me and my boyfriend ended up paying for that dinner because it was a little bit expensive and we wanted to treat his mom we get home from the trip and a few days later i get an email from my boyfriend ended up paying for that dinner because it was a little bit expensive and we wanted to treat his mom. We get home from the trip and a few days later, I get an email from my boyfriend that had an Excel document in it. The Excel doc was all of our shared expenses from the trip, which was fine.

That's how we normally did things. But I did notice there was one line in the Excel document that I was kind of confused about. And the line just said, breakfast for 3.23. And he looks at me, deadpan, and goes, oh, well, that's for the banana and piece of toast that you ate at my mom's excuse me sir? he's like yeah well like you ate that so you know you owe me and my mom money. This man was dead ass trying to

charge me for a banana and a piece of wonder bread and I paid it alright I gave him the $3.23 you give him the $3.23 and you get the hell out of there. And you leave. You leave you cut your losses. You give them the $3.23 and you get the hell out of there. And you leave. You leave. You cut your losses. You do not fight a man like that over $3.23. You pay her and you leave.

There's a couple of things in there. The Excel spreadsheet. Oh, invoicing your partner on an Excel spreadsheet? That is a bit strange to me. I'm sure there's, you know, times where it is a good idea if you're doing budgets and you're married and blah, blah, blah. Not when you're doing it, when you're in a relationship and you go on a weekend away.

Not when you're invoicing them for the food they ate at your mum's house. Especially $3.23. Do you reckon he's then subtracting that $3 and transferring it to his mum? Like, is she getting the money? If he's doing an Excel spreadsheet. Did mum send him an invoice and all he's doing is passing on the cost? That was my mum's food. I'm related to my mum.

You owe us $3.23. There's no such thing as a free breakfast. That's ridiculous. So ridiculous. Let's ask people, are you in a relationship with a tight ass? Or have you been in a relationship with a tight ass before? And what were the signs that showed you, wait a minute, I think this person's a bit of a tight ass.

I think I might be dating an El Cheapo. Dobman, you can use your name if you want. We don't care. And there's a difference. There is a big difference, can I just state, between someone who is frugal to a tight ass. What's the big difference? You can tell.

Gut feeling? You can tell. You know when it's the difference, I'm telling you. 0800 dials at M, text us on 9696. We'll try and get some of these on before 6 o'clock. We want to hear your stories about who was the tight ass in the relationship. 0800 dials at M or text us on 9696. Bree and Clint.

We're talking about tight wads in a relationship. Twit. After a... George Costanza's. Yeah, girls TikTok'd about how her boyfriend invoiced her for a piece of bread and a banana that she had for breakfast at his mum's house. $3, was it $3.23? It might have been closer to $3.90.

Which, how do you justify that for a banana and a piece of bread? She didn't have a loaf of bread. I mean, yeah, it seems quite tight to me. Someone texted through and they said, I dated a girl who paid for nothing, literally nothing. Four months in, she booked us a trip on the train to her mum's house for the weekend. It was about 30 quid.

We broke up the following week and she messaged me asking for the train fare. I sent back an invoice for 50% of every date we'd been on over the four months and subtracted the train fare. She owed me about 2,000 pounds. Funnily enough, she said not and subtracted the train fare. She owed me about £2,000. Funnily enough, she said not to worry about the train fare. And just call it quits. Funny that.

Oh, jeez. Someone else texted through and said, was married to an absolute tight ass. I think we've got him. Oh, yeah, nice. I think that's anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous.

Hi, how are you? You are or you were married to a tight ass? Was married. Was married. Was married. Is this a key reason why the marriage broke down? One of the many, yeah. Really anonymous. Tell us what were the key things that your ex-husband did

where you were like, oh, this guy's so tight? They kept a tally of the, kept all the grocery receipts and they'd leave them on the bench despite earning pretty much double what I did would leave all the grocery receipts on the bench after he'd gone and done the groceries which props to him for doing

Wait, were you married at the time Anonymous? Yes. Why did he leave them out there? Did he want you to spontaneously go I'll just transfer half of that? Was that the goal? Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Right. Okay. And always half, no matter what was on the grocery list, always half? Pretty much, yeah. Yeah. I get being even in a relationship. I do get that. But in a marriage, in the grocery business,

when you're earning double what your wife is? Yeah, that seems very tit-for-tat to me. How did birthdays and Christmas go down in that marriage, Anonymous? Oh, no, they were okay. They were okay? They were fine. All right. Just with certain things.

It was just the groceries. And we still, you know, despite being together for a long time and not, and then getting married, we still operated the one joint account, which was called the Flash account. And you transferred your fair amount of... Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's amazing. We were expected to contribute exactly the same.

So, yeah, there you go. And they were married. Someone texts through and they said, my sister is such a tired ass that she always makes sure she is the first one to leave a lunch or dinner at a cafe or restaurant and she will just hand cash to leave a lunch or dinner at a cafe or restaurant and she will just hand cash to someone else and say, this is for my part, but it is never enough to cover her part.

People know. Oh, no. People know that you're that person that does that. Oh. And can I just say, if you're leaving the cash, you need to leave too much. Yes. Because someone else is going to sort out your admin. You actually need to leave slightly more cash.

Just in case. Just in case. Oh, that's so bad. Finally, Katie's here. Who is the to sort out your admin, you actually need to leave slightly more cash. Just in case. Just in case. Oh, that's so bad. Finally, Katie's here. Who was the tight ass in your relationship, Katie? My partner at the time. What did they do, Katie? So we'd written a grocery list,

and we got to the supermarket and got to the broccoli section. And there was one broccoli on the list and then I said, oh, why don't we get an extra? And he's like, oh, but it's not on the list. What, he hasn't budgeted for two broccolis? No, yeah. One broccoli. What year was this?

Because in 2022, I kind of get it. Broccoli's out of control, man. Wait, was it Clint that you were dating? Because it's sounding a lot like it was Play ZM's brand Clint On Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live Weekdays from 3 on ZM
