The ZM Podcast Network. ZM, Brie and Clint. I'm gonna see you. Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show. Guys, I feel like the Brie and Clint show, we're in our silly era. We're in the departure lounge because we're having a holiday next week. So everyone's a bit silly here at the Brie and Clint show. You know the week before you have a holiday and you're sort of...

Oh, you phone it in. You're excited for the holiday. You phone it in. You phone it in for sure. But you're also sort of clinging on for dear life. You're like... Just got to get there. Just got to get there.

The finish line. It's right there. I said to get to the finish line. You're nearly there. So welcome to three days of phoning it in, everybody. But it's going to be the best, funnest, silliest phoning-est in you've ever heard. Hey, that's when the loosest stuff happens and that's my favourite. Yeah, Bree's going to say four cuss words on the show today. Stop that, Clint. We're like silly, but we're not that silly. That was you drinking tea.

I'm trying to create an illusion. I told you the wheels are off. So silly. So silly. You know what's not silly is a double pass to Taylor Swift and that will be given away at four o'clock.

That is deadly serious. That is. It's not funny though, is it? It's serious. It's real serious. We've also got Cassie Henderson performing live on the show today. Cassie's going to come

in at 4.30. She has broken a New Zealand record and she is going to perform her hit song, Whatever For Us, live on the Brianne Clint show at about 4.30 this afternoon. That's super exciting and we're going to kick off the show with $50 cash thanks to KFC. If you want to play Tradie vs Lady with us

the number to call is 0800-DIALS-IT-M. You've got to call now. Bree and Clint. It's tradie versus lady. Three, two, one, let's go. We've been keeping score all year, and the ladies are pulling away again.

They're on 78 wins for the year. The tradies still can't get off on 69. They're stuck on a 69. They are. They're stuck 78 wins for the year. The tradies still can't get off on 69. They're stuck on a 69. They are. They're stuck 69ing. Worst places to be. Oh, absolutely. I don't hear any of the tradies complaining.

But let's go to a tradie first for a change. They're calling from Pukekohe. They're 22 and they have... Is it really their fact? They've never indoor gardened before. Shall we say it that way? Welcome to the show, Brett. G'day, Brett. You might be just the guy

to get the tradies off of 69. Oh, yeah, naturally. And up onto 70. Just stop pounding away in the background there for a minute so we can play the game. Let's meet our lady. She's calling us from Auckland. She's 24 and she loves dogs, but she doesn't have one. Welcome to the show, Emma.

G'day, Em. Hello, how are you? Good, thanks. What's your dream dog that you would get? Oh, it has to be a Black Lab, eh? Oh, they are pretty cute. Pretty damn cute. It's a good answer. Okay. Emma, your buzzer is Lady.

Brett, yours is Tradie. First of three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash from KFC. Here we go, guys. Question number one. Which member of the Avengers was played by actor Chris Evans? Come on, guys. Just name an Avenger. Any Avenger.

Buzz in. Brady. Yeah, okay, Britt. I wouldn't have a clue. Okay, great answer. We're looking for Captain America. Oh, that's been one of the best answers of the week, Britt. I like that.

I like that. You gave it a go. Question number two. What is the flavour of the sauce in a classic tin of Waddy's baked beans? Lady. Yes, Emma. Tomato sauce? It is tomato.

Nice work. You're on the board. One to the ladies. Question number three. Guys, buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Lady. Yes, Emma. It's the object check.

I've lost it. You've lost it? I've lost it. Oh, it was right there too. You were on the right track. Brett, do you want to give it a go? Tones and I. Well done, Brett.

Nice work, Brett. Well done. He's come from nowhere with that one. Look, I'm not going to lie. I didn't have faith, but you've absolutely blown me out of the water. It's one apiece. Question number four. In a game of cricket, how many bales are on top of the stumps?

Brady. Yes, Brett. Yeah, technically two sets of wickets, four bales. I thought it's two. On each set of wickets. Yeah. Yeah. But there's wickets at four bails. I thought it's two. On each set of wickets. Yeah. Yeah. But there's wickets at either end.

Oh, I was thinking just one set of wickets. Okay, so is Brett right or wrong? In a game of cricket, how many bails are... Oh, no. Yeah, in a game of cricket... I think he caught us on a technicality. Yeah, we'll have to give it to Brett. That is correct.

Question number five. We would have accepted two as well. Yeah. Put him in the black caps. Two to the tradies, one to the ladies. Question number five. The Pentagon Government Building is located in which American state? Is it Kansas, Texas or Virginia?

Tradie. Yes, Brett. Kansas. No. May as well give it a go, Emma. All right, I'm going to go Virginia. Well done. It is Virginia.

We're all tied up here this afternoon. Question number six. This is for the win. How many slices of bread are there in a club sandwich? Ready? I'm going to say Emma just got in. Three. That is correct.

She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. Tight game, Emma. Another win for the ladies. Congratulations. Oh, thank you very much. Well done. Bree and Clint.

I wonder if anyone would give up having a wedding if we gave them the Taylor Swift tickets. What, they'd leave their partner for Taylor Swift tickets? No, they don't have to leave their partner, but they can just, like, say they're going to have a wedding. They have to give up the wedding. That's the deal. We say cancel that wedding.

Yeah. Disappoint your parents. You have to, yeah, cancel the wedding and you get to go to Taylor Swift, A Reserve. Yeah, I think they would. You reckon there would be people? Yeah. Yeah, I reckon there would be.

If they haven't paid for the wedding yet, yep. Oh, yeah, see, that's where it would come into it. If they haven't paid their deposits and stuff, then absolutely. That's where it would come into it. The reason I ask is because I feel like there would be too because there's this new trend that's happening amongst millennials. So the trend that's taking off with millennials is having a quickie. Okay.

And when I say a quickie, I mean a quickie wedding. Oh, like a shotgun wedding. Not a shotgun wedding. Not like an elopement at the courthouse. But like a step up from that. Okay. So there's a company, and I believe there's other companies around the world as well, but there's a company in Brisbane that specializes in micro-wedding, micro-weddings.

Micro-weddings. That's what they call them. So it's called Wham Bam Thank You Sam, and they literally have a wedding package called the Quickie. Okay. So for $1,900, this is what you get. You can wed in front of 12 guests at a Las Vegas-themed event space. Wham Bam Thank You Sam will provide confetti cannons that explode upon the first kiss.

Yeah. And the whole affair is done and dusted in 30 minutes. Wait, $1,900. Do I get any booze? A couple of bottles of bubbles or something for me and my 12 guests? For a bit more cash, couples can opt for one or two hour ceremonies that include more traditional wedding staples such as catering, booze and a bridal bouquet. Because all you want, you just want one glass afterwards so you can toast. Because then I imagine you're going to get the hell out of there

and go and do your own thing. Yeah. You go have your own party. I quite like it. It's quite smart. So let's talk about, it says here in this article that the average couple spends about $36,000 on one day on the wedding. So $1,900 is significantly less.

Yep. Significantly less people that you get to celebrate with though. Yeah, I know. But how many people do you actually really like? Like, you know. It's a good question. And these are the questions you have to ask yourself when you're planning a wedding.

And then it's not awkward. I mean, it can be awkward because then who are those 12 people they get to go? Well, you can just have 12 people at the ceremony and then you can go to the rugby club or the surf club or... The RSA is where it's at. You can meet people. You could book a school hall if you wanted to.

Yeah. And you could have the party there afterwards. I do quite like it. It's very different. Like, it's not the wedding that a lot of people will want but it will appeal to some people. I think it's smart especially because we're in the cosy living.

Cry cry. The cry cry, the cosy live as I'm calling it. People are trying to save money where they can and instead of having a $36,000 wedding, they might put it towards a house or something. Yeah. Be able to get into their first house.

I thought we could ask people this afternoon on 0800DIALS at M, did you have a no frills wedding? Okay. Or have you been to a no frills wedding? Yeah. Everything's stripped back. Yeah. Maybe the food at the wedding was buffet, kind of bring a plate.

Oh, like a bring a plate. Oh, like a potluck. Yeah, a potluck wedding. Potluck wedding is great. Yeah. Backyard wedding is great. Beach wedding. Beach wedding.

Yeah, beach wedding is great. Do you have to pay to have a wedding on the beach? I'm not sure, but you have to get council permission. Yeah, but that shouldn't cost too much, should it? But if you shotgun it, if you get in, do the wedding and get out. What are they going to say? What are they going to do? They're not even going to know you were there. The tide will literally wash away all evidence.

Okay, can you even tell us how much your no-frills wedding cost? Oh, $800 at M, or you can text it in to 9696. We'd love to hear from you this afternoon. Maybe some people will get some ideas on how to do a cheap wedding. What was your no-frills wedding like? Anna's called up. Hi, Anna. Hi, Anna.

Hello. Was it your wedding that was a no-frills wedding? Yes, it was mine. How much? Do you remember how much your wedding cost? I do. It was about $7,500. Okay.

Okay. But that was for 120 people. Jeez. You did 120 people for seven grand? How? In my backyard. In your backyard, okay. How big's your backyard?

Two acres. Wow, okay, that makes sense. Right, okay, so you live rurally, is that right? Yeah. And so what was your biggest expense? Was it food or booze? Booze cost us two and a half, and we hired in a chiller to keep it all in.

My brother-in-law built us a bar. Okay. And what about shelter? Did you have a marquee? There's old greenhouses on my property. Okay. I was going to say the marquee, not for that price, you're not getting a marquee.

No. My sister had her wedding. We nearly did. Yeah. My sister had her wedding in my parents, like on my parents' property, and the marquee cost like $13,000. For a tent?

Yeah, for one day. Yeah. Now, we were quoted $30,000 for one. Okay, for 120 people, that's pretty good. Yeah, but it was good. It was a great day. Yeah, it sounds like a great day. Have you considered going into wedding planning and offering $7,000 wedding packages?

Because I reckon right now there's a market for it. Well, listening to you guys' story earlier, I was like, maybe I could on our property. It's pretty. Start the business, Anna. Yeah, you could call it Greenhouse Weddings. Yeah, exactly. I've already got the bar.

Why not? Okay, thank you very much. Anna, let's talk to Rochelle. Did you have a no-frills wedding, Rochelle? We had a nobody wedding, so we eloped and we didn't invite anybody at all. Love it. Love that, Rochelle. Where did you go?

Queenstown. So we went and got married on top of a snowy mountain July last year. Don't you have to have at least two witnesses there at the wedding, though? Yeah, you do. So the photographer and the pilot, they were our witnesses. Okay. Whose idea was it Rochelle? Was it yours or your partner's or did you both just feel the same about the situation? You both wanted to elope? Yeah, so we both felt the same. So we got engaged seven years ago. Neither of us wanted

a normal wedding. So we kind engaged seven years ago. Neither of us wanted a normal wedding. So we kind of just sat in limbo. Like, what do we do? We don't want to go to get married at a courthouse. And then we heard about a low ping and found all these packages and decided, why not? Did you ski down? No, we didn't. No. So with the mountain that we were on, you can't. So you've got Cecil Peak and quite a few other ones in Queenstown. Jeez, that exclusive. Can I ask, what did your friends and family think

when they found out that they weren't invited to your wedding? Oh, my dad wasn't happy. We didn't tell him at all. So only my sisters knew because I needed a babysitter for the kids and my little sister. Yeah, so my sister's new, but we didn't tell my dad or anybody. Everyone kind of just found out afterwards.

Yeah. They weren't happy. Oh, well, it's about you guys anyway. So nomad of you, Rochelle. I love it. Yeah, well done. Okay, cool. Thanks for sharing.

Someone texted through and said, My wedding was $300. My in-law was the celebrant. It was beautiful. Shame I came out as a lesbian six years after. But, hey, lucky you didn't spend a ton on it, you know. Someone else said my wedding was actually free because I got married with ZM 18 years ago. Oh, wow.

So we must have been giving away a wedding. Yeah, thanks for the invite. I mean. We weren't here. Yeah, exactly have been giving away a wedding. Yeah. Thanks for the invite. I mean. We weren't here. Yeah, exactly right. Thanks. I wasn't alive. In 2003.

Yeah, I'm 18. Gina's here. Hi, Gina. Hi, Gina. Hi. How are you guys going? Good, thanks. Your sister had a no-frills wedding.

Yeah. So this was about four years ago. They had a young family and stuff. And they were busy. They're farm managers family and staff and they were busy, their farm managers. And they actually got married, I don't know if you know with Castle Pointers. So they had a farm at the top of Castle Point. So they got married at the top of the farm under a beautiful archery made out of natives and stuff. And there was probably 24 people there, like immediate family.

Yeah, wow. And myself and his sister did all the photos. Perfect. Her dress was the most expensive part aside from the alcohol. Yeah. That came second. Yeah. And we just, they decorated their garage

and we had a beautiful big dinner. It was like crayfish and all sorts like power and all that fancy stuff and just got on the piss and just all hit golf balls at their house. That sounds like my type of wedding, Gina. I love that. We actually went hunting as well and we got some meat and stuff

and it was great and they still don't recruit a thing. There's all these people that message me like, oh my gosh, did Kate get married? It's like, yeah, but every situation is different for people. It's about them at the end of the day. I love that. That's great. It's about them and it's about the people that are around you on the day.

Because we were talking about beach weddings before and I said to you, do you have to inform the council? Someone from the council has texted through. Okay. And they said, I work at the council and we'd rather not know about beach weddings because you can't exactly reserve a section of the beach. No. It's best to just go ahead and do it. Council only needs to know if you're going to drive or disrupt normal beach goers.

And that's the official word from the council. See? A free venue. It's a free wedding venue. It is a free venue. Free in Clint. I don't mean to alarm anybody, but New Zealand is staring down the face of a very serious food shortage. A widespread shortage of frozen chips.

Oh, I didn't think it was frozen chips. Did you see the other one? Mm-hmm. That apparently there was a, maybe it hadn't gotten here to New Zealand yet, but somewhere overseas there was a shortage of salt. Oh. People were panic buying salt. How are we short of salt? Just bloody get it out of the sea.

Mate, I don't know. Have you seen that mountain of salt that's in Mount Maunganui? It's huge. Big pile of salt. Massive. Plenty of salt. No, this is hot chips, which need salt, ironically. Yeah.

Because of the floods early this year, all the potato stocks like out in Pukakohe and stuff like that. Well, I saw the onions caught it. Rooted. Absolutely rooted. Literally, uprooted. Uprooted. Bluff fish and chip owner, Diane Williamson, has been told,

this is how serious it is, she's been told there's just four or five weeks of frozen chip supply left. You're kidding. Coming into summer, New Zealand is about to run out of frozen chips. Frozen chips are one of my major food groups. I prefer them cooked but yeah, absolutely. Nah, I'll eat them anyway. I'll take

what I can get. She said that she's been told after this supply runs out, she's going to have to ship her chips from overseas, likely from the Netherlands. We're going to have to ship her chips from overseas, likely from the Netherlands. We're going to have to get our chips from the goddamn Netherlands. That's so far. That means that the frozen chips that you would get at the fish and chip shop, well, they wouldn't be frozen when you get them, they'll be cooked.

The hot chips that came frozen, they will have gone from Europe to Australia, then to Littleton Port in Christchurch, and then to Dunedin, and then to Invercargill, and then to Lyttelton Port in Christchurch, and then to Dunedin, and then to Invercargill, and then to Bluff. Oh, my word. If you want to buy them from Diane. They'll be yuck. Well, who knows? Have you ever left?

The problem is not the freshness. It's the cost. It's how much it's going to cost, how much it's going to cost the fish and chips up. Have you ever found an old potato that's been left in the drawer? Yeah. It is one of the worst smelling things I think I've ever smelled. When a potato, a stray potato. It's the spindly bits that they start growing

and the potato's like searching for light and nutrients. That's the bit that freaks me out. The spindly bits are fine. They're, you know, that bit's fine. It's when it starts to go black. When it grows the spindly bits, I'm like, this potato is alive. Yeah, it's trying to escape. Yeah.

Yeah, literally. Well, I don't mean to alarm anybody, but it's time to panic. What could we offer up? Because I'm not compromising on hot chips. I'm not giving up hot chips. What are you willing to give up? Where are we going to save our potato? Yeah, like what giving up hot chips. What are you willing to give up? We're only going to save our potato. Yeah, like what's something that's good that you're willing to give over?

Made of potato. No, not made of potato. So we can redirect the potato into... Yeah. Yeah. I'm willing to give up mashed potato for hot chips. Oh, yeah, I'll give up mashed potato for hot chips. Are you fine with that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Not hash browns, though. I'm not willing to compromise. No, I'm not giving up hash browns. No. I'll give up potato top pies. yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll give a... Not hash browns though. I'm not willing to compromise. No, I'm not giving up hash browns. No. I'll give up potato top pies. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. I can give up those. It's like a whipped potato. We just kind of like mashed potato. Yeah, yeah. What other types of potato? I'm not giving up chips. I'm not giving up...

Like potato chips. I'm not giving up crunch... No, chips. Crust. No, I'm not giving up that. What? We need one more. I'm not giving up a potato frittata.

I'm sorry. No, I'm not giving that up. I'll give up a jacket potato. Oh, yeah. I'll give up a jacket potato. Oh yeah. I'll give up a jacket potato. I mean, how often are you eating those? Not often. You take the jacket potato, we'll take the hot chips. Alright, I think we might have solved that. Bree and Clint.

Zed and Bree and Clint. It's Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift, the heiress tour, live in Sydney. What is this, day 8? We're giving away Taylor Swift tickets. Weiress Tour, live in Sydney. What is this, day eight? We're giving away Taylor Swift tickets. We're doing it for four whole weeks, every single day, Monday through Friday, a double pass to The Heiress Tour in Sydney. If you can tell us the three songs that play on ZM at 8, 12 and 4 o'clock.

That's right. The first person through on 0800DIALZM today is you, Devin. Hello. Hello. You're on the air. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Who have we got there, guys?

Who's there? Oh, this is Devin and Bianca, her mum. Devin and Bianca. Who's mum and who's... Okay. Devin is the... Bianca's mum. Devin's my daughter. Devin, okay.

Oh, guys. Devin, how old are you? Ten. Ten. And if you win Taylor Swift tickets, is your mum, Bianca, going to take you to Taylor Swift? Yes. Okay.

Devin, how much do you want to go see Taylor Swift live in Sydney? Oh, my God. I can't even tell you how bad I want to go. I love her so much. Did you try and get tickets and you weren't successful, obviously? We spent about eight hours in the waiting room trying to get tickets. It was crazy. Okay.

Okay. All right, guys, compose yourselves because you've done the hard work, but there's one step to go. You need to give us the three songs that we played today at 8, 12 and 4. Okay. Okay. Okay. 22, Should've Said no and in game.

Devon, congratulations. You've just won Taylor Swift tickets. You're going to see her, Devon and Bianca. I'm assuming you'll be there too, live in Sydney in a reserved seating. Oh, my God. Thank you so much. Oh, there's tears.

Oh, my God. Thank you so much. You are so welcome. This is what it's all about, giving you guys the opportunity to see someone you love so much. Devon, are you so excited? Yes, really. Who's the first person you're calling to give them the news that you're going to Taylor Swift? Probably Katie.

Of course Katie. She will be absolutely ecstatic for you. Well done guys. We'll leave you to soak that in and book your flights. Congratulations. Nice work. Thank you so much. Thank you. You're very welcome. Oh, I love this part. That's what it means, right? Yeah. That's what it means to people. So,

it's going to be you tomorrow. That's what you have to manifest. That's what you have to keep telling yourself. It's going to be you tomorrow when we give away another double pass. Eight o'clock, Fletch, Fonda and Hayley will play the first song. But you know that. You already know that. Also, a lot of lovely messages coming through for Devin on the text machine.

Someone says, I'm a little bit hurt, but Devin sounds like so sweet. Well deserved. I get that, right? Every time it's not you, it must sting a little bit. But I think everybody that we've managed to give the tickets to has seemed really deserving. Like true Taylor Swift diehard fans. That's what it's about. And a lot more chances to go yet.

So stay hopeful, stay positive, because we'll do it all again tomorrow. Bree and Clint. We just gave 10-year-old Devin a double pass to Taylor Swift. Devin, congratulations. You've just won Taylor Swift tickets. You're going to see her, Devin and Bianca. I'm assuming you'll be there too.

Oh my God, thank you so much. Ten-year-old Devin, I feel like that's got to be better than Christmas. There's a text here that says I didn't get them, bro, but don't worry, I'll get them tomorrow, bro. I feel like that text was meant for someone else, but it's come to us. No, I've been texting

them. But I like the positivity. I've been texting that person every day. Oh, they're texting you. Are you bro? Yeah. Oh, yeah, bro. Yeah, that's my bro. Well, bro, you will get them tomorrow, bro. It's alright, bro. Get back on the bandwagon tomorrow, bro. It's going to happen. Got to visualise. Absolutely. Hey, Austria, the country, is offering

free train travel for a whole year to anyone who gets a tattoo. No thanks. Hey, I haven't even told you what the tattoo is yet. Okay, I'll hear you out. Okay, it's a dick and balls. No. No, no.

No, no, no. No, if you get a tattoo of the, it's called the klima ticket, which means climate ticket. If you get a tattoo of the ticket, then they'll give you the ticket for free for a whole year. Just a year. I feel like I want it for life if I've got it tattooed on me. You can ride the train as much as you want for a whole year.

It's like getting a, if you live in Auckland, a hop card tattooed on you. You know? They said it's worth a thousand euros, this ticket. Or in New Zealand dollars, about $1,800. So you get this tattoo and then you get to... A tattoo for $1,800, I don't know. Yeah, well, free trains.

You get to ride the train for free. I don't think so, eh? You're not keen? I don't think I'm keen. No, I wasn't keen either, but I was wondering if you would be. No. It'd have to be a lot better than that for me to get a tattoo. You only have a couple of tattoos. So I wonder if someone like

Ella, who has quite a lot of tattoos, She's not doing that. and she's sick of paying for parking as well, would you get a tattoo of a train ticket for free train tickets? I mean, they are doing cool fine line postage stamps at the moment. So if you can make it cute, then why not? Oh, my God.

If you can make it cute, then why not? I can't wait to talk to you in 10 years and be like, how much do you regret a lot of your tattoos? Because it's like a government initiative, they're being criticised quite heavily. They're saying you're using human flesh as marketing. Casinos have done that in the past. Yeah, you're preying on young vulnerable people

who don't have the money to say no at the moment to get your message across. But they're all taking it way too seriously. Just a bit of fun, guys. Imagine you get on the train. Can you get the tattoo anywhere you want on the body? Yeah. Yeah, you can.

Imagine you get on your butt cheek and the guy who clips the tickets coming down the aisle on the train and he's like, tickets, please. He's turned around and he's mooned the guy. And he goes, oh, very sorry, madam. Absolutely. As you were. What if I say I've got it on my foof and I'm not willing to show you in a public area? Yeah, well, you might have found a loophole there.

Yeah. Big loophole or any on my privates. Well, I don't know how big that loophole is. Yeah. No. Well, it would fit. It would fit. Just.

This is niche, but I want to ask the question, is there anybody listening right now who has got a tattoo so that they could get a free something? A tattoo so they could get concert tickets? A tattoo so they could get free Dolmio sauce for a year? I saw a thing on TikTok. I don't know if it was real, but a radio station was, they said, playing a prank. Yeah. And they offered something free if someone would get their radio station

name tattooed on their forehead. And this guy went and got a massive tattoo on his forehead. On the forehead? And then they were like, nah, bro, that was a prank. Oh. We weren't actually going to give you the money. And so he took them to court. Yeah, good.

Yeah. I mean, idiot, but good. What an idiot. Did he get the money I don't know oh man it was a long video I didn't sit through it

alright well let's see what we can get have you got a tattoo of anything even if you didn't get the thing did you get the tattoo so that you could

win something you know to put yourself in the draw for something yeah oh $800 at M or you can text to 9696 as well

and we'll read your story out did you get a tattoo for something free free and Clint we're asking Did you get a tattoo for something free? Free in Clint. We're asking, have you got a tattoo for something for free? Because at the moment in Austria, you can get free train travel for a year if you get the train company logo ticket tattooed onto your body. It sounds stupid, but it's real. It's actually real.

It's something that the government is offering up as a way of promoting the train. I remember there was a place, I think it was in Australia, was saying if you got a tattoo of a coffee cup, you got free coffees for a year. Okay. Which is about, oh, carry the one with how much coffees are, about eight grand.

Yeah, okay. And I mean, if you love coffee, then you just have a coffee cup tatted on you. I think that one's quite a good one. You could get a cute little coffee cup. I found the radio station guy that you were talking about. Oh, you found it? I found it.

The radio station that he got tattooed on his forehead, because all radio stations in America are like a combination of letters, much like Zedon, to be honest. K-B-W. Yeah, this radio station was called K-B-W. Yeah. This radio station was called K-R-U-D. Crud.

K-R-U-D. K-R-U-D-F-N. Oh, no. So he's got crud tattooed on his forehead. And it went to court. Right. And he won. He won. The DJs who said, do it and you'll win, I think it was like $250,000.

It was an April Fool's prank. They said it on April Fool's. And the guy went and did it and they ended up having to pay him. Didn't he sue them for like over half a million? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Please do not get our radio station logo tattooed anywhere on your body. The number of texts that are coming in right now. Unless you want to.

No. The number of texts coming in right now from people saying they'll get ZM's logo tattooed on their body for Taylor Swift tickets is insane. It's insane. What do you reckon they would get? The ZM logo? Wouldn't they just get the Z and the M? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

You could get that quite small. Yeah, you could. It's not that bad. I've seen worse. Do you remember that casino that was getting people to tattoo their website on their forehead? No. I think it was called Golden Palace or maybe it was a porn website.

No, it wasn't. It wasn't. website no it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't i just googled it jeez i'm so glad what's the golden palace i don't know what move is that i literally just had this thought where i was like is that a casino or is that an adult website um it says here uh the online casino golden palace.com um don't google it no it, the online casino, goldenpalace.com. Don't Google it. Oh, it's an online casino. A woman got, yeah, goldenpalace.com tattooed on her forehead for money. Okay. Do we know how much money she got?

That's a good question. Some people just don't care, eh? How much do you think you'd be- How much would I do it for? Yeah, how much would you do it for? How much would I get golden Palace on my forehead for? Yeah. A million dollars. She accepted 15,000.

Claudia, I think we've got an issue. There's somebody who is rampantly texting us to get the ZM logo tattooed on their body for a free cheeseburger. All they want is a McDonald's cheeseburger. Yeah, get the tattoo then. Claudia! No, I'm joking.

Don't get the tattoo. Please don't sue me. Oh, well, I guess we could afford a cheeseburger. Someone texted in who we couldn't get hold of. They said, I know someone with a Colonel Sanders tattoo and they get free chicken from KFC. That's pretty good. That's a great deal.

What, do they just go like the drive-thru And show them the bucket of chicken on their leg or something They would have had to give them an ID card of some sort Right they would have had to give them like a What do you mean To confirm it and go Oh No I'm assuming they just went out and got a KFC tattoo

And now they go to KFC and they go Look at my KFC tattoo can I have a free Oh just depending who's on they go Bro that's sick you can definitely have some free... Oh, just depending who's on, they go, bro, that's sick, you can definitely have some free chicken. Yeah, give me a piece of free chicken. I've got a tattoo on my body. Louis Davis from TikTok got

the... He had a photo for his wedding outside of KFC and it went so viral that it made it look like him and his wife actually got married at KFC. Yeah. It went so viral that KFC saw it and sent them to Kentucky, to the home of KFC. Yeah.

They sent them on a holiday to Kentucky. What a good deal. Yeah. I'd love to serve KFC at my wedding. It's starting to sound like there's a lot of things you can get for a tattoo, but you need to confirm with the business first that that is the deal. Don't get the tattoo and then try and negotiate the deal. Don't do what that guy did. I feel like that's risky business. Have you seen the tattoo and then try and negotiate the deal. Don't do what that guy did.

I feel like that's risky. Have you seen the tattoo on his forehead? Yeah. It's enormous. Yeah, it's huge. And it says crud. Could be worse.

Could say dick. Yeah, could say, he could have got it for D-I-C-K radio. Let's be real. That is exactly what that guy was. It's my second favourite radio station. Bree and Clint.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the show a good friend of the Bree and Clint show. It's my second favourite radio station. Bree and Clint. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the show, good friend of the Bree and Clint show, it's Cassie Henderson. Hi, Cassie. Hello. G'day, mate. Let me throw some stats out here

to really blow some people's minds. The song by Cassie Henderson is the most played New Zealand song on the radio for the fourth week in a row. Maybe even fifth week in a row now. That's huge. It's massive. It's the first time a female artist has achieved that here in New Zealand since Lorde.

What? In 2017. That's crazy. Get off the grass. That's some serious girl math right there. Yeah. That really is. When that happens, does Lorde call you and go, hey, I've got the plaque.

Do you want me to come and drop it off at your place? Is that how that works? I wish. No, I literally saw a tweet. I was going through my Twitter the other day and I saw a tweet of me in 2013 tweeting Lorde. No way. What did you say?

I was like, I think Royals was playing on like 4TV or something. It was when they'd play all the music videos. And I was like, Royals was playing on like 4 TV or something it was when there was like they'd play all the music videos and I was like Royals is playing on the TV like hashtag crazy Thursday nights and that was it but

oh god and then I was like this is the biggest full circle moment I've ever had in my life like I'm mentioned in the same sentence

as Lord which is insane it's huge you've got to be careful in a country as small as New Zealand because eventually if she hasn't already, she will see that tweet.

Yeah. Like, I remember when she first started. And Guy Williams said that she was a bad Lana Del Rey. Because she wasn't famous at that stage. And then, like, literally a year later, she was in for an interview because Royals was the biggest song in the world. How embarrassing, Kim.

And she just started the interview with, so bad Lana Del Rey, am I? No. Did she actually? Because she saw it. Oh, my God. That is so funny. Yeah.

We were just talking about it off air. How bloody cool is it? You were playing down at the Cloud, which is the fanfare event for the FIFA Women's World Cup. You played there quite a few times. What was that like? Yeah, I moved in. I brought my sheets and pillows. No, it was so cool because I used

to play soccer when I was younger. And so even to be slightly involved with the FIFA Women's World Cup, especially in the wave that it's been, like the impact it's had on women's sport and sport in general, it's cool to just be involved. And like, I just come on and jump around and try and hype everyone up for 15 minutes and then back to the game. So it was good. How cool that, you know,

girls are kicking goals and you're kicking goals down at Fanfare. That was pretty awesome. Oh my God, yeah. Yeah. Literally kicking goals. Love it.

Love it. Yeah, it was very cool. What does your summer look like? Where's Cassie Henderson playing over summer? It's busy summer. It's summer this summer. So,

yeah, I've got a few festivals Has it been announced yet? Not fully busy summer. It's summer this summer. So, yeah, I've got a few festivals lined up. Has it been announced yet? Not fully. Okay. Not fully. Are you going to RMV? RMV is such a special place in my heart.

Yeah. Especially that hill. Are you going as a punter or a performer? Both. Both. Why not both? I'm hoping to be going as a performer as well. But, yeah, it's going to be a busy summer.

Okay. And I'm really excited because it'll be the first summer that I've put out more than like one song. So, yeah. This is it. This is the summer for Cassie Henderson, big time. Yeah, hope to get the ball rolling and we'll see how we go. Have you got the same guitar as Ed Sheeran?

Well, this is actually a very special story. Yeah. I bought this guitar when I was in school. Yeah. And it's the limited edition ones that he put out. No way. So it is an actual Ed Sheeran guitar? Yeah, so it's the Plus albums one.

Yeah, it's got the Plus at the top. Yeah, so it's the Plus albums limited edition guitar. Bree and Clint. Time to play Google Down, guys. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk.

All right, let's give someone 50 KFC chicken dollars and the title, the glory of winner of Google Down for the week. Here's how it works. So I'm going to read out questions that I've put into Google. If you are the first person to yell out the correct answer, the most common answer that comes up for that exact question, you'll receive a point. If you're wrong, you're out of that question.

First to three will win the game. Got it. Who won last week? I feel like it was Claudia. Was it you? I think Clint did, yeah. How can none of us remember? It was irrelevant.

It must have been me then. If it was irrelevant, it was definitely me. All right, guys. Is everyone ready to play? I'm ready. You're all playing for someone that texts through your names on 9696. I'm doing it for Alex. Let's go.

I'm doing it for Billy. Let's go. Come on, Dion. All right, here we go. Question number one. In what age did Vikings exist? The Viking Age. 1793 to 1066.

That is right, Claudia. I'm going to give you the point. I also would have accepted the Middle Ages or the Viking Ages. Right, I skipped over that bit. But Ella, you were also on the right track, but I did say what age. Cool, half a point. Thank you. Right, one to Claude.

Question number two. How old is Christopher Luxon? Leader? 53. Oh, jeez. Claudia is on fire. Oh, yeah. Damn it.

53 is on the money. I've got the age for Crick Lucon, if you want it. Yeah, how old's he? 53 as well. No way! Should have just gone with it. Really? What are the odds of that? Alright, two to Claude.

Ella, Clint, you need this one to stop her. Question number three. In what year did the Rugby World Cup first start? 1987. Nice work. It? 1987. Whoa. Nice work. It is 1987.

Obviously, you knew that one. Because, Rouse, if you Googled that, that was the quickest Googling ever. Finally, a question for me. Okay, now do the Hunger Games next. I knew that. Here in New Zealand, won by the All Blacks. Question, well, hence why you remember. Of course you're going to remember that.

Well, I don't remember it. I wasn't there. Yeah, you were. Was it remember. Of course you're going to remember that. Well, I don't remember it. I wasn't there. Yeah, you were. Is it on all the jerseys on the sleigh? Yeah, I thought you were there. Didn't you go to the game? It's on one of the 28 jerseys he owns. Yeah, correct.

Question number four. One to Clint, two to Claude. Who invented the electric kettle? Arthur and Leslie Lodge. I'm going to give a point to both of you. Can I have a point too? No. I didn't yell at you.

You said nothing. In 1891. It was Arthur Leslie Lodge. A point to Clint and a point to Ella because I couldn't separate the both of you. That means Clint's on two, Claudia's on two, Ella is on one. Question number five. Where did the food baklava originate? That's right, Claudia.

Off the top of my head. Jeez. That was her Rugby World Cup. That was her Rugby World Cup and she takes it out in stunning fashion, which means, Billie, you're taking home the 50 KFC chicken dollars. Yay, thank you. No worries. You enjoy that.

Claudia. Well done, Claudia. I feel like that was quite a good win. Oh, thank you. It was. I've had baklava in Turkey, so just want to throw that out there as well. Because I feel like you could have easily said Greece. Oh.

Yeah, no, don't fear. Like, you could get it mixed up. Not me. Where does Turkish delight come from? Greece. Greece, 100%. Portugal, I believe. Bree and Clint.

Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go, birthday banger for your Wednesday. Happy hump day is where we take your birthdays and tell you what was the song that was number one when you had your sweet 16. Let's start with Cassidy. Hi, Cassidy. Hi, Cassidy.

Brian Clint. ZM, Brian Clint, that's One Direction. And Drag Me Down, The Wonder of Birthday Banger. For Raya from the year 2015. Yeah, I like that. I like it a lot. Hey, I want to talk about this crazy story.

Did you see on the news the helicopters that had to rescue all those people on the zipline? No. You didn't see this? This was wild. So apparently on Tuesday, eight people, including six schoolboys, were trapped in a cable car. Okay. You know, like a cable car, like the same cable cars that you would get in to go up, like, the mountain in Queenstown?

Oh, yeah, like a gondola. Yeah, a gondola. They were trapped inside for 12 hours, and they had to use all different types of rescue techniques to get them out. Yeah, wow. It was wild. At one point, I think they were propelling down the cable that the cable car was on to get into the cable car to get them out. Have I told you the story?

Have I told you about my gondola rescue experience? No. I've done one of these. So I used to work at Skyline Skyrides in Luturuwa and the one time the gondola has ever broken, that happened, this big weight at the bottom broke and the gondolas, they dropped like a couple of metres, but they sort of just sat there

and we had to go up on belay lines and abseil people out of the gondola cars. Wait, you were the rescuer? I wasn't allowed to go up onto the cable, but I was the guy who stood on the ground and held the rope. Were you trained? Yeah, we did.

You held the rope. We had to do training for it. Like once every three months, we had to come in before the gondola opened and trained for it. And everyone was like months we had to come in before the gondola opened and trained for it. And everyone was like, this is fun. We love doing this. We will never have to use this skill in our life.

And then one day we actually had to use it. I feel like that's something that I thought they would outsource for. Yeah. Well, yeah. Well, who are you going to get? The fire service came and they were working with us. But there's like 20 gondolas and everybody wants to get out of their car because they're all terrified.

Absolutely, as you would be. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. It was wild. I love how you were the guy on the ground holding the rope. That's an important job, though. I was 17. Yeah, that's an important job.

Yeah. Because if you're not concentrating, the person you're holding, terrifying. Anyway. But you imagine that. because if you're not concentrating, the person you're holding, terrifying. Anyway, all the- But you imagine that. You're inside the gondola and some guy with a helmet just comes like climbing out along the rope. He's like,

come and get you guys. Climbs onto the rope. There's like a lever. They open the door through the emergency thing. He swings into your gondola carriage and then he's like, okay, what I'm going to do is I'm going to tie this rope around you

and then we're going to lower you down to the ground. And that pimply 17-year-old boy over there, he's going to help. And then they go, aren't you the guy that just put me on the luge? Yes. The same guy. Aren't you that same dude? The same guys. And you're like, yes. Yes, I am. Everyone was

okay, thankfully. Yeah. They were all rescued. I thought we could ask... Everyone was okay in our one too, by the way. Yeah, I assumed. I assumed that they rescued. I thought we could ask... Everyone was okay in our one too, by the way. Yeah, I assumed. I assumed that they were. I thought we could ask people this afternoon for their stories of being rescued. Have you ever gotten rescued

before? And it could be in any situation. Yeah. Like it could be maybe a surf lifesaver rescued you. My nan got rescued from a house fire. Oh, wow. Her whole house caught fire and she got stuck in the kitchenette. And someone came in there and rescued her.

Her neighbours, the absolute heroes, came, smashed the window beside her front door, and luckily she always left the key in the deadbolt. So they were able to put their arm through the broken window, under the deadbolt, crawl under the smoke to her and then drag her out of the house. It's amazing they could even find her in the house. Because they knew her house so well.

They couldn't see anything. Yeah. But from being her neighbours for 20 years, they could find her. Terrifying. Yeah. Good family friends of ours, like close family friends, were on a holiday in Iceland, like a family holiday, and they were going across this bridge and the car crashed and went down off this bridge into this icy lake.

Yeah. And our family friend, the dad, climbed down this bridge into the icy water and pulled four people out of this car. Jesus. Yeah. What a hero that guy was. Yeah. Anyway, we want your stories of the times you were rescued

maybe it's someone you know maybe you were the rescuer yeah okay oh 800 dials at m or you can text us on 9696 we'd love to hear your stories were you in one of those gondolas in gotoro in 2002 needle in a haystack yeah we have been. Did we rescue you that day? And am I remembering the story correctly? Bree and Clint. Just talking about that crazy story about those eight people who got stuck in a gondola and

were in there for 12 hours and they had to use helicopters to propel down to get them out. Yeah. Wild. Everyone was safe. Everyone's safe. Everyone is okay though, which is, I mean, a great story, but terrifying. Imagine being in there for 12 hours.

You get to live through the experience. It's a great story to tell. Yeah. So we're asking you this afternoon on 0800-DIALS-IT-M, were you rescued? Monique's called up. Hey, Monique. Hi, Monique.

Hi. Was it you that was rescued or yeah, what happened? So I almost drowned when I was about five years old. Oh no. Yeah, I still remember all the bubbles. Do you really? Yeah, I do. It was pretty traumatic. And who saved you? A surf lifesaver or just like a patron? No, just I think another person that was at the pools. So it was at the pools?

Yeah, at like hot pools. Oh, right. And like I kept sometimes bobbing up. I couldn't swim at that age, obviously. No. And I kept bobbing up and I could see my parents in the distance, but they didn't notice. And then these arms just reach in and grab me out.

Oh, Monique. You're like a god. I still remember this man who seemed massive to me, but he was probably just a normal-sized man. To me, he was like my hero. And do you have a fear of water now, Monique? Luckily, I don't. I only have a fear If somebody might

Hold me under Yeah right Yeah then I totally Freak out Yeah fair enough I actually love the water Yeah Oh good

Okay great story Monique Thank you for sharing We appreciate it Let's talk to Keita Kia ora Keita Hi Keita Hi Was it you that got

Rescued Keita Yeah Um It was an elevator Event during Kifu Hi. Was it you that got rescued, Keita? Yeah. It was an elevator event during FIFA. An elevator? You got stuck in an elevator? Yeah. Me and a few of the FIFA locals. I'm a security guard.

Okay. And we went on to, during the matches, we went on to use our main elevator. So I think it's like a five-level building, and we were going up in our service elevator, and before we knew, like before we got in the elevator, we had no knowledge that the elevator had problems. How long were you stuck in there, Keita?

He was stuck in there for about an hour. Oh, no. We're struggling to hear you a bit on this phone line, unfortunately, Keita. It sounds like you're stuck in an elevator. But how did they get you out? Did they have to take you out through the top of the elevator? Did they have to push the doors open? Or did they just get it working?

When the doors opened, we were actually between levels. Oh, you were between two doors. Oh, that's my worst nightmare. And you had to climb out? So, yeah,

they ended up getting us a little bit further down enough to climb under the door. Oh, nah, screw that. Yeah, no, thank you. Not for me. Yeah, okay.

Thank you, Keita. We appreciate it. We're asking for your stories about times you were rescued. This text is wild. It says, my dad was an avid surfer in South Africa. One day the shark alarm went off and everyone rushed out of the water except one surfer. A great white shark attacked the surfer and bit his arm off.

My dad rushed in and paddled out to the surfer, picked him up out of the water, put him onto his surfboard and paddled him back to shore. The man was so close to bleeding out, but because of my dad, he made it to the hospital in time. That is terrifying. That is a true hero. Like to put yourself in harm's way where you know.

Against a great white shark. There is a shark out there and you've pulled this person. Oh, my God. Finally, Pauline, you were the rescuer. Is that right? Yeah, it was my grandfather, yeah. What happened? They had a farmhouse beside a camping ground and it was in a valley

and there was a massive downpour and it actually turned a nearby camping ground and it was in a valley and there was a massive downpour and it actually turned the nearby camping ground into like a full-on river rapid and there was a bunch of caravans there. A lot with elderly people there. It was actually summer, so we're not really sure why it was raining.

So that's Auckland. And we had to wade out through like chest-high water to bring some of these people in and they had families in there. It was pitch black because it was, like, way out in the west. It was really, really dangerous. There was, like, planks of wooden things going past,

and there was, like, 85 or so people that we managed to, like, get up. What? We don't have the biggest house, so some of them stayed in the shed where the cows stay in winter, so it was, like, with all the hay and stuff. Oh, my God. Because we actually thought it was, like, a good time. In hindsight, you look back and think, like, probably, like...

Yeah, you were in shock. You were just doing what you had to do in the moment, right? Well, 85 people. So it was high season. There was lots of people. A lot of them get free season every year because they have, like, permanent caravans. Yeah.

Was that the Auckland floods at the beginning of this year? No, this was, like, when, like, 20 years ago. Oh, okay. That's incredible, Pauline. And did they all chip in for accommodation or for Pizza Hut? We all helped out the next day to get everything cleaned up. Oh, good. Yeah, everyone hung out after that,

but it was one of those things that you just remembered forever. And our parents weren't super stoked when we went back to town because they weren't happy when they realised that we, as the kids, were helping rescue. Oh, they'd be terrified. They'd be so scared. They would not be impressed. Not impressed.

Great story, mate. Thank you for sharing. We appreciate it. Thanks, Pauline. Wow. That's a lot of people to rescue, 85. Yeah, and put them in one place. Yeah.

85 people. My house could not fit 85. Bree and Clint. Let's be real. The Cozzy Lives, it's taking over the cost of living crisis and people giving stuff up. I read today that it's 2025 before Kiwis will start to see things getting better. What are we at?

Middle of 2023. Yeah. Oh, that's ages away. It's quite literally ages away. Yeah. This Reddit thread is going bonkers at the moment where people are adding in their things that they're just cutting from their lives because of the cost of living crisis.

Okay. And I thought we could go through them as a group. So producers, you jump on board and we'll decide if this is something we're willing to cut from our lives because of the cost of living crisis. Yeah, I'm into it. So number one on the list, these are real, by the way. These are what people have written in.

Someone said, thing I'm cutting from my life is my health. You're just cutting out your health? Anything to do with my health, I'm cutting it out because it's too expensive. The gym is so expensive. So the gym, supplements, fresh food, fresh food and veg. Vegetables, yeah. No, I'm not willing to cut health from my budget.

Health insurance? Get rid of it. No. I can't cut it any more than I have. Yeah, I can't do it. As long as my pets have pet insurance, cut the insurance. Okay, alright. That seems a drastic one to start with. I can't wait for what's next. That was one. Someone said I've given up buying farmer

friendly brands. What's a farmer friendly brand? Is it like free range eggs or maybe organic stuff? Ah, yeah, right. So like organic brands always cost more. Yeah. That's not really farmer friendly though and

free range is not really farmer friendly either. It's more like animal friendly. Or is it like brands that pay their farmers better? Yeah, okay.

I think it says here, I always read labels to check where ingredients are sourced and I try to buy locally owned wherever I can. But now my fridge

and pantry are full of just generic supermarket brands. Nah, I prefer my farmers in a battery cage. So I'm fine with that. I'm willing to give up organic at the moment. Let's be real.

I'm willing to give it up. I prefer my farmers in a sow crate. I had to buy organic tahini the other day and it was so expensive. No one has ever had to buy organic tahini. There was no other option. It was the only option. Oh, mate, this cost of loving grass has got a to buy organic tahini. There was no other option. It was the only option. Oh, mate, this Cosy Living Christ has got a long way to go. I was like, where's my regular tahini?

Jeez, I'll make my own. Ground up some bloody sesame seeds. Okay. Number three things people are cutting because of the Cosy Lives is a social life. Oh, yeah, that's going to kick in. Yeah, honestly, yeah. You're not actually going to have to cut your social life, but it's going to drastically change.

People are saying it feels like I'm living like my early 20s all over again. The Sunday brunches will become Sunday like. Monthly. No, no, you'll do them at people's houses. That's actually smart. You'll go around for eggs, Benny, at a friend's house. I'm already doing stuff like that. My social life is like dinners at people's houses.

Yeah. And we'll like swap who's hosting. It's going to change. I've been doing that. I've been doing that for years. Even my partner for Mother's Day, for her mum, we invited her over to our house and just cooked a meal. And I bet she loved it.

Yeah, she did. It was great. I'm happy. I'm willing to do that one. It was great. Number four, streaming services. Oh, you've got to know which ones you're not watching. Yeah.

You've got to do an audit on those. You've got to cull. Yeah. You've got to cull. And here's my tip. If there's a particular show that you need to watch, just get that subscription for that little bit and then you have that for however many months

and then you move to another one. Do you know what my hack is? If you have to sign up to a streaming service to watch anything, sign up and then instantly end your subscription. This is not illegal. It's not illegal. Because then you're subscribed. You've paid for a month. You'll get a month. You've got

a month to watch your show. And then at the end of that month, if you haven't finished the show, you can just sign up for another month. True. It won't auto-renew. If you cancel straight away, then you get the month that you paid for and then you can pay for the month by month. The streaming services won't like this because we're getting savvier.

Yeah. We're on to them. Yeah, we're on to you guys. Well, I mean, they're taking away sharing, so, you know. Number six, eating out or Uber Eats? Oh, yeah. Takeaways. We've already cut that out.

I feel like I've cut back my Uber Eats massively. What's massively for you? Once every three weeks, maybe. Okay. Yeah. Takeaways on Uber Eats. That makes sense. There's just so many fees that are attached.

It's so expensive. So, number seven, these are things on a Reddit thread people are cutting out because of the cost of living crisis. All my hopes and dreams is another one. Gone. Those went ages ago. Done. They went during COVID.

They're off into the sunset. Number eight, new clothes. Oh, yeah, that's good. This is a good one. It's good for the environment, good for the wallet. Yeah, and even if you treat yourself to one new piece of clothing every day, then you're good treat yourself to like one new piece of clothing you know every day then you're good to go treat yourself to a piece of clothing that's in the back of your drawer that you haven't worn yet that's a great life hack it's a great life hack uh number nine going to restaurants slash

pubs food delivery and cheese cheese no we're not giving up cheese you can take away anything else but not cheese. Also, support your local bars and restaurants where you can. That's people's jobs. That's important too. I'm not doing that one. No, no way. Number 10, flavoured milks.

What? It's just a luxury that you really don't need. I haven't had a flavoured milk since 2012. What? You know Megan, who works at ZM here, had a flavoured milk since 2012. What? You know Megan who works at ZM here has a flavoured milk every day. No, I'm fine with giving up flavoured milk. If that's what's going to get me through, then I'm done. There's two more. Red meat is out of the question these days, people are saying. Too expensive. No, I'm not

giving up red meat. Red meat once a week or once a fortnight I think is fine. You can get cheap cuts of steak. That's true. And the last one on the list, things that people are giving up because of the cost of living crisis, being happy. Is the last one? This last one is so depressing. Which I think is really connected to giving up the cheese.

Like that one for me is directly connected. All right, we'll see you guys in 2025 I guess What a rush What a rush You know what movie I watched last night? Was it Rush? It was such a rush Have you guys ever seen the film The Impossible?

No Oh my god what a gut wrenching film It's about the tsunami that hit Oh the Boxing Day one? The Boxing Day tsunami that hit the Boxing Day tsunami that hit Thailand. Wild.

The story that they actually, it's a true story based on a true story and it's about this family, this English family that were holidaying in Phuket. Oh, well, don't give it away. It's just so gut-wrenching. Like, just, oh, my God, such an amazing movie.

It's on Netflix at the moment. Oh, okay. It's just been added to Netflix. Yes, Claudia? Did you realise that the kid in that is Tom Holland? Yeah, of course. With his little mole? Oh, my God, it's so weird.

Cam from The Night Show was over and we were watching it and I said, does he have a mole on his chin? And then Cam was like, I feel like I watched an interview where he talked about when he got it removed. Yeah. And it was just before he did the first Spider-Man film. He did Enrique. Yeah, he got this mole off his chin removed.

He's so fantastic in that movie. Oh, he's so good. How old do you reckon he'd be? Oh. He'd be like 10. 10, 11? 11 in this movie, yeah. And Naomi Watts is in it. Ewan McGregor? Yeah. Oh, I love that movie be. Oh. He'd be like 10. 10, 11? Yeah. He was little. And Naomi Watts is in it.

Ewan McGregor? Yeah. Oh, I love that movie. Great film. He didn't want to have a spider mole. Oh, yeah, there it was, right in the middle of his chin. Yeah. He's been a fantastic actor since he was young.

He's so good. I find it sad when people feel the need to get rid of their moles. You know? Why? Well, it's part of who he was. I don't even recognise him anymore. Do you have a mole? No.

Yeah, do you have any moles? Oh, yeah, I've got some moles, yeah. Where's your moles? I've got one on the back of my neck. Show me. I've never seen it. I think it might actually be a skin tag, but yeah. Anyway, this is not about me, okay?

No, well, I made it about you. Oh, you can do a mole map on me after this. I'm actually due one, so. Yeah. They're so confronting doing mole maps. Oh my God, there's nothing more invasive than a mole map. Where they look at every time. I mean, it is great to do them.

The first mole map I did, I was like, I'll just tense up. I'll just tense up while they do this. It takes so long. It takes ages. Nobody can tense up for a whole mole map. You can't. They look at all your nooks and crannies. They're important. Go and get your mole map.

They are. Go get your mole map. They're not as bad as I'm saying. They're not that bad. One day they'll be used to find treasure. Mole map. Follow the moles. ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok and live follow the moles
