Just to set the scene for those who don't know, you've recently got married for the first time. Moved out of mum's home. Now we live in our friend's basement. And it's going good. With your current husband? Yes. Thriving.

Thriving! Wait you moved out of your mum's house into your friend's basement? Well she's got like a lounge and a bathroom and a room. Is there a bedroom down there? Yeah. Oh yeah. But we share the kitchen. We're saving money man. Yeah yeah yeah. Oh girl no judgment. No judgment as long as you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Girl, no judgment. No judgment, as long as you're out of mum's house. I know. You know? We're good, guys.

But you said you've got a dilemma, you've got a problem. Yeah, I do. I had a shower this morning, as we all do, and I looked down at my wedding rings, which I love to look at, and I gasp! One of the stones has gone!

Already! Two months in. You've only been married two months and you've lost a rock out of your ring. What sort of rocks are in your ring? I got a green sapphire, which is the one that disappeared, and then the rest are like little mosa nights. Am I saying that right? I don't know. Mosa nights? Yeah, they're cheaper than diamonds. Oh yeah, okay. White sparkly ones. Yeah, they look like a diamond and then the center ring is the green what? Green Sapphire green Sapphire and that's gone. Yes, the main rock is gone. Well, it's the wedding ring and yeah Yeah, part of it. Yeah has disappeared like I can it's so small. I want you to find it anywhere

No, no, no, so don't you fear I have done big girl thing and not just ignored it I've called the the place I got my ring Yeah, and I've booked an place I got my ring and I've booked an appointment to hand it back and I've been like I hope it's under warranty. Oh that's a good way of doing it. I don't know the thing about that but of course the stone should be in there two months. That stone should be in there in 25 years. Right? Like I mean I'm not whacking it around. Rings are on your fingers forever. Yeah yeah yeah yeah um what are the-

What? You can't just say whacking it around. I'll get your head out the gutter. Um what did the ring place say? They say yeah come in at 11. Is it a rude question? Jeweller? Is it a very expensive ring?

For me yeah I'll just tell you spent like a 1500. Oh yeah it's a good quality ring? For me, yeah. I'll just tell you, I spent like $1500. Oh yeah, it's a good quality ring. Yeah, definitely. It's not like a fake. No, it's real. Oh, get in there. It's gold. Get in there.

No, I actually spent my hard earned money on this. Exactly right. Yeah. I'm worried when she brings it in, they're going to be like, and where's the gem? Like, we're going to put it back in, where's the gem? Oh, you think they expect you to have it? Nah, that's on them. That's that's on them surely surely there's at least

consumers guarantee two months in on a ring I must have signed something that said that do you have any idea where it could be no Jim because it was like I believe I look at it around I've been like I think I look at it a lot so I would say 24 hours last 24 hours. Oh you reckon you would have noticed? Yeah definitely. If you noticed in the shower maybe that's exactly where it fell out.

Oh shut up. Did you check the trap in the shower? No, I actually should. You should have a look in there. Yeah, cause I was whacking it around. Shower! Shower! Shower!

Shower! Shower! Wedding ring nightmares happen. I'm particularly interested when they happen early in the relationship. I lost my wedding ring within the first year of our marriage. And it's like, mine's like a family heirloom.

Well, it was my dad's ring. And then I lost it, so I felt extra guilty. Found it inside the rubber seal, inside the dryer. What? Randomly. Maybe it was in your jean pocket or something. Probably, because I wouldn't have been used to wearing a ring so I would have been taking it off all the time and probably stinging it in my pocket and

Most of it was clean. And dry. And dry. But I'd love to know some wedding ring nightmare stories. Where did you lose the ring? When did you lose the ring? How much was the ring worth? Did your partner get really angry at you for losing the ring? Did you lose part of the ring and the people refused to repair it for you? I don't know. But if you've got a wedding ring nightmare story that you want to share with us, 0800DALESZM, or you can text your story in to 9696, maybe it was a family heirloom ring that you were put in charge of looking after and you lost it at the school ball. I don't know. But you can tell us about it. That is Franklin. We were just talking to our producer Ella who has lost the rock out of her wedding ring two months into the

marriage. You said you lost a green sapphire. Someone texted and said you can't get green sapphires. Have a Google, you can. Can you? Yeah. They said greens and emeralds, blues a sapphire. You can get a green sapphire. Yeah you definitely can. I'm just checking, I'm hoping someone didn't sell you a fakey. Oh, no, you literally have a Google. I did double check. Yeah. Okay, good. All right, just checking. They exist. We want to know your wedding ring nightmare stories this afternoon and Paul's called up. Kia ora Paul. Hey mate, how's it going? We're good. What happened? Was it your ring?

Well, yeah, yeah, but I was coming back from one point up my wife had already lost hers. Oh right okay. My one was I just arrived in London so I was kind of quite tired and things in my wedding ring I'd ordered from an online website overseas and it never quite fitted properly. Big night out in London town and just cutting shapes on the dance floor, pulling out plenty of lawn mowers and jumping on the motorbike and doing the sprinkler and so forth. I think it's just flying off at some stage throughout the night. Paul was your wife there the night that you lost your wedding ring?

No she was back in New Zealand. Yeah see that's a bad, that's bad man. That's bad to go out on the pizzo in a foreign country without your partner and then in the morning be like oh babe I've lost my wedding ring. Yeah it wasn't a good look but like I said I was coming back from one up. Yeah you just leveling the score weren't you? Yeah exactly. Are you both Sans wedding ring now or did you both go out and get new wedding rings? We claimed insurance on her one but I just stopped wearing one. Fair enough mine doesn't fit properly so I don't wear mine either. I'm terrified that it's going to come flying off so that's a good reminder that that can

happen. Thank you. We're talking wedding ring disasters and Sandra's here. Hi Sandra. Hi how are you going? I'm good. What happened to your wedding ring? So it was actually my daughter's engagement ring and she's a food tech teacher and she was

doing food tech with the kids and noticed it was gone and fallen off somewhere. Yeah and we cleaned the whole kitchen on our hands and knees and looked through all the drains and so forth and it's nowhere to be found. Didn't go in the food did it? Well we don't know because we've never found it. She didn't bake it into a banana loaf and someone swallowed it and then pooped it out did they? Yeah someone's banana cake was worth more than five bucks. Oh no! What happens in that situation? Do you get insurance for it? Yeah, we got insurance. She was pretty upset because it was only like six weeks after she got engaged. But we got insurance and got another one. She hadn't even got married yet. She hadn't even made it to the marriage bet. No.

Bad omen, Sandra. I don't know, the wedding's going, the marriage is going alright. Yeah, right, okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You never know. Thank you, Sandra. We appreciate it. Renee's here. Thank you Sandra we appreciate it. Renee's here as well. Hi Renee. Hi. What was your wedding ring disaster Renee?

So I had taken my ring off it was my engagement ring and I had it on my bedside table and we used to have a Roomba vacuum, the robot ones you know. It wasn't there when I got up in the morning and I had like convinced myself that the Roomba had eaten it somehow and then I've tipped it in the rubbish and it's just gone forever and could not find it anywhere and I went back to the jewelers and they actually ended up remaking me an entirely new ring that was exactly the same because they had made the first one. Wow okay. To then about probably a week and a half later I found the original.

Of course you did but you wouldn't have found that original if you hadn't gone to the trouble of getting a replacement mate that's how these things work. So what do you do in that situation do you just have two rings now or did you put one on marketplace? No well I've kept the other one and I thought maybe my daughter or something might want it when she's older. Or maybe you'll need a backup ring. You know, maybe you'll lose a ring again. I've got the chance in case I lose it.

They need to put AI into those robot vacuum cleaners. I'm terrified of them for lots of reasons, like if they run over like a cat poo or something like that and then drag it around the house. But I never thought about them sucking up valuables and then going himself emptying themselves I never thought about that Renee that's a really good point yeah okay thank you for the story we appreciate it someone said my ex-husband told me my ring was worth about five grand so I went and got it valued for insurance turns out the diamond was fake and it was only plated in cheap gold and the whole ring was worth about 80 bucks.

Completely fake. A little bit like our marriage, the texter says. Thank you. It's a good text there. I was given my mum and dad's ring when I was a kid. They got divorced. Sorry to laugh at that, but they're like, oh you have the rings. I wore them from the age of 13. Anyway, I had a nightmare where the diamond would come out. Around 40 years later while visiting friends in New York City I looked down and the diamond was gone. I stood up and it was on the seat where I was sitting. Unbloody believable.

It had gone into a bag and got... I put it in the bag and it got reset when I got home. That's crazy to look down at the seat the second after the diamond had come out. You must have known, like you must have been so attuned to the weight of that ring or something. Such a large diamond, the weight being not on your hand, you're like, something's wrong. I love the idea of mum and dad both giving you their rings after they get divorced. Yeah. They're like, oh, I don't want this stupid ring. Melt it down, make a new one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for your stories. That ends Brang Clinton. The show is brought to you by KFC. The Double Down is back at KFC for a good time, not a long time right now. Time to go to LA and get the tea with Dean McCarthy. The Tea, live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Look, Dean, one of the biggest releases of the month is that Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson movie The Materialists but I keep seeing mixed things about it online some people saying it's great and they loved it and some people saying it's a total letdown so what's your opinion should we be going to see The Materialists? Yeah, okay, well let's start with the first one. The plot is basically Dakota Johnson is this like matchmaker in New York City, but she meets a billionaire played by Pedro, but she's still kind of half in love with her ex who's this hot broke actor. You know, just a typical kind of weekend in New York City. But here's the thing, right? So the

marketing makes it look like it's a rom-com kind of like Made in Manhattan or the girl gets stripped away by the billionaire. It's kind of even got that music. It even has music of a rom-com TV trailer kind of thing. But the movie itself is actually much grittier and darker and more layered. It's kind of more talks to like real uh real like themes of like you know social class and like it's kind of like social drama and it's quite deep it's much deeper it's not

a playful funny rough yeah she ends up with the hot actor and they run off into the distance so that's why people are feeling off because they feel like it was marketed differently but the movie itself is actually getting strong reviews if you go into it not thinking it's not JLo marrying a millionaire on the street of Manhattan it's it's it's deeper than that yeah okay that's interesting because our producer Ella has seen it and she said it's not a rom-com it's not funny you didn't find it funny did you no apart from one scene which lasted maybe 10 seconds where I chuckled, but apart from that, nothing. Did you say there's... There's like a domestic violence storyline in it as well?

Yeah, like a sexual... Oh yeah, right, okay. ...storyline as well, which isn't funny! No, it's not! You know? Yeah. What the heck? Nothing.

God, why do they set themselves up for failure? Okay, so you reckon Dean do go and see it It is getting well reviewed but change your expectations about what you're gonna get from the materialists Yes, it looks like date night playful bubbly. Yeah, low kind of movie. It's not okay not funny rom-com She doesn't run off with the I feel like that's an important important watch out. Yes, Ella important important watch out yes Ella. If you do know Celine Song the director yeah and you've watched her other movies then you go in with a better expectation. What's some of her other movies? Give me two seconds it's very big. Past Lives which was in 2023. Yeah right okay yeah there you go that's the tea

with Dee McCarthy he's our Hollywood correspondent that's the goss on the materialists. This is the goss on the materialists Dad Am's Bree and Clint podcast This is the number one sign that your marriage is gonna end in divorce Apparently which is a which is a bombshell headline, isn't it? But you know got to get people's attention these days and it got mine Arthur Brooks is an expert in social science I don't know what that means to be an expert in social science. Is that just the study of people interacting? Science, technically.

Maybe, I don't know. Is that a white collegeie? If you stalk people on Instagram a lot, are you also an expert in social science? I don't know. Anyway, he seems credible, and he has spoken on a podcast about what he believes is the number one sign that your relationship won't last.

Listen up Ella. Yeah, listen up Ella. And you. And you. And me. Shame. You are married too. Thanks for reminding me. Jesus, I keep forgetting. You have two children. One day in the Princess Diana shorts and I'll meet anybody. So this is more for long-term couples and couples with kids but I feel like it's relevant for newer couples too. Should I zone out right now? No you're here too. Nah it's not for sad singles. She'll find love.

And then I'll need to know when it's going to end. Nah you can always better yourself. I'll use these tips. Claudia work on yourself, okay? Before you put that shit on someone else. Exactly. Do you guys want to know what it is? Yes, come on.

So Arthur says, one of the greatest predictors of divorce is partners who are lonely while living together. Amen. Oh, that's so sad. Oh, bombshell. Oh, I see that. He just hit us with realness. He said like if you've got kids, the only thing that you may have in common is those kids. Or even if you're a long term couple who doesn't want kids but you have a dog and all you have in common is the dog

and all you talk about is the dog. Or the mortgage. But how good is it talking about your dog? And how good is it talking about your mortgage too actually? So fun. Finance. They said when that one point of commonality disappears, like the kids or the dog or the mortgage I guess, and you're sitting across the table blinking at each other during dinner and not talking because you literally have nothing else to talk about. It's literally the best friend theory or fact like you've got to stick at being friends

and being best friends. So that is such a that's such a timely observation Ella. Thank you. He said the goal of your marriage is not passion like some people think they should be like red-hot rip your clothes off every day. It's not. It's friendship. He said the goal is you and your partner must be close friends. You should ideally be best friends. That's the goal. Are you and Lucy besties? Yes, we are.

Why? What have you heard? Yes, we are. Yes, yes, we are. She's definitely my best friend. Oh, that's cute. He said you've got to work at having things in common and continuing to have things in common. Yes, yes we are. She's definitely my best friend. Aw, that's cute. He said you've gotta work at having things in common and continuing to have things in common. That's the thing, cause some couples,

and I'm not an expert obviously, but it's good having your boundaries and doing stuff for yourself and having alone time. But again, you wanna have a hobby together. Common things, common interests, yeah. And it can be, I feel like it can be as simple as having a project. Yeah, heck yeah.

Like a renovation that you're both invested in or a trip that you are both saving up for or a TV show that you are both enjoying something. Yeah, no one watches it illegal. Yeah, no one watches it without the other one. And you're both into it. One of you is not just pretending to be into it but actually going on your phone while it's on like when my wife wants to watch Love Island

and I'm like yeah we can do another season of Love Island I guess. So there you go I thought we could flip this this afternoon and you could call us with the thing that you're on the verge of leaving your partner over. Not in a super serious way, but not actually, but like, I mean, if you could, it would be close. For my wife, for example, she's given me the list. She keeps me informed of the list. Yeah, she said it would be my footsteps when I'm walking. Oh, are you a stopper?

My breathing when I'm sitting on the couch. The way that I sneeze. All of these are loud things The way that I sneeze. Oh look these are loud things. How do you sneeze? Like a- Do you sneeze like a dad? Yeah I do dad sneeze, yeah.

The way that I leave little bits of beard on the basin. Oh yeah. But I don't. But it's like a fleck, it's like a tiny fleck. That's a fireball offence. Meanwhile I'm pulling literal Chewbacca level woman hair out of the shower drain. As you should. But I can't leave one little crumb of beard.

You put that seat down while you're in there. Little ginger beard. So what is it in your marriage or relationship? What is the thing that if your partner doesn't stop doing it? Split spill. Can I just ask Claude, did you learn? Did you better yourself? No. I've got time though. She doesn't need to. I like myself just as I am. I'm allowed to be messy.

She's a cat lady now. No I'm a dog lady now. 0800 DAILS at M or text to 9696. The thing that your partner does that could just honestly be the straw that tips you into Divorce Bill. You can text it to 9696 as well. Use it as like a you know like a therapy venting session with us. The ZM Podcast Network. Taylor Swift Wildest Dreams. Taylor's version on ZM. Do we still have to play Taylor's version? We don't have to anymore, eh? You can listen to whatever version you want.

Whichever one you prefer. If you prefer the originals, you can go back to the originals. Yes. You can, eh? Correct. Yeah, with a clear conscience. Yeah, like people were waiting for reputation Taylor's version because they weren't listening to it. Whatever.

Now they can. They were pretending they weren't listening to it. We want to know what's the thing that's about to tip your relationship into divorce. Not actually, but you know, some days it feels like it. We talked about a social science expert before who said if you're not best friends with your partner that's a clear sign that you guys are headed for trouble. But what are the other signs? What are the things that your partner is doing that just drive you up the freaking wall?

Somebody has texted and they said oh my god when he finishes a sentence And it's like he has a buildup of air that he still had to get out and he just exhales After the sentence and it drives me mad right like just breathe normally and quietly Please don't finish your sentences and then say It's infuriating guys. You know, you can you communicated the inferior infuriating nature of that Living with someone if you find something small annoying and then you live with the person that thing is just going to Yeah, it's like a stone in your shoe Levi's here hi Levi how's it going guys we're good is it something you do or your partner does something my partner

does bold of you to call up and tell us what it is but go on what's the thing that might break you guys up so I'll clarify like we're best friends and everything but there's them cotton buds when she does her makeup. Yeah. I find them in the pockets of the dressing gown and the pockets of the hoodies. Is she wearing your dressing gown and hoodie? We share hoodies and dressing gowns. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, those grotty cotton buds. They haven't been in her ear, have they? No, no, just the makeup ones. Yeah, right. Is that it? That's the only thing? That's the only thing, yeah. Because I feel like your marriage or relationship could be saved with one more hoodie and one more dressing gown? Oh potentially. Yeah but it's not about that is it Levi, it's the principle. It is yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. And your perfect day? No I'm not perfect at all, I'm just at every way. Thank you Levi, this person wants to be anonymous. Hi anonymous. Hi. What is it? What's the thing in your relationship that could be the thing that spells divorce? So my husband used to do really rank farts and they were to the point where they used to make me stew

and I threatened him multiple times that if he didn't stop them I would leave him. Are you exaggerating when you say they actually made you spew? No they actually made me spew. Unfortunately he's now my ex husband but yeah. And is that what it was? Is that the thing that broke you guys up? No it wasn't the thing that broke us up but... I feel like he should see a doctor. That's not... That's probably... That's not normal. What was that man eating?

Dairy. I'm sure he's lactose intolerant. He just doesn't admit it. Well, I'm glad you got some clear ear anonymous in more ways than one. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tasha's here.

Hi, Tasha. Hi there. We're heading these things off at the bend, you know, we're talking about them now to relieve a bit of pressure and hopefully it doesn't end in separation but what is the thing that your partner does that might tip you over the edge? Leaving the scrub daddy sponge in the sink instead of putting it on the scrub daddy holder that I bought for a reason. He just does the dishes,

which is great, he's done the dishes. But then the sponge belongs on the holder so that it can drain and not sit there and get disgusting. This is brilliant. And this is perfect because it's something that, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't matter, but it does because it's important to you. Isn't it? I mean, friendship, yeah, friendship, whatever.

But, you know, can you put the sponge back? Can you just put the sponge back? Why can't you put the sponge back? Why don't you revoke his scrub daddy privileges? Because scrub daddy... Look, I've got to do the dishes. Oh, it's a catch-22. Yeah, totally. So that's why I don't complain about it, but it drives me insane.

Inside you're seething. Bre and I have talked on this show about silent wars in relationships. Where one partner is furious about something but they haven't actually told the other person. So that's your silent war. It is silent. Well, kia kaha to you and your scrub daddy and your real... Thank you. I feel like this text could have been written by my wife. It says,

Mine and my husband's relationship mirrors Clint and Lucy's that's my wife I've always thought this we are best friends and I love my husband but God the sneezing the loud breathing the snoring the beard hair the not hanging the hand towel back up properly like bro it goes over the rail not shoved in a ball on top of the rail and also stopped trying with the PDA. We have kids and people know we're together. That's plenty. I actually screenshotted that and sent that to my wife because I feel like she will feel seen.

I feel like she'll be like, oh my God, it's not just me. Vindication. Oh my God, I'm not the only one. Look, it's all good guys. Vindication. Oh my god I'm not the only one. Look it's all good guys it's all good as long as we are continuing to laugh about it then surely surely surely I don't know we're talking about it that's right we're talking about it. True, it's out there now. It's about communication. You can't bring it back. Nah. It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. I saw the new Formula One movie, the new brand

Pitt movie last night, comes out on Friday and no spoilers but at the very end of the movie... It sounds like a spoilers about to be said. No no it's not a spoiler there's an Ed Sheeran song, a new Ed Sheeran song at the end of the movie. Spoilers I didn't know that. It's very good. Oh okay. Very rocky. Remember that Chris Stapleton song that he did? Rock Sharon. Yeah. Ed Sheerock. It's like very electric. It's like... He's back I think. Ed-lectric. Yes! With this album he's doing... he's sort of touring the world right? He's doing... A bit of everything. A bit of everything. That's got Indian elements to it, that song.

And Aziz had Persian, I believe. Yes. I wonder if this is like Bluegrass, the one that I heard. I don't know what Bluegrass is. I hope so. Neither. Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway, the song is very good. The soundtrack of the movie is very good.

And the movie? Garbage. Nah, it's awesome, it's really good. This is Let's Get Classical where there's no Brie, so it's just me going up against Ella. My ideal situation.

Sorry. Well, I won. Next, stick around because Claudia's got a life hack for us to do with zips coming up. And you'll either know it or you'll be like, what? Oh my, that's crazy. Better living everybody. Hey, if you're a fan of zips do not go anywhere if you own clothing with zips I do not appreciate your tone dude stay people are gonna this is gonna be a life changer for some people stay tuned. It's ZM's Brooklyn podcast. Our producer

Claudia has a life hack for us to share I I love a good life hack. I love a good life hack. This for some people will be a great life hack. I feel like the term life hack, like everything, gets watered down and people you know they're like, didn't you know that you can, this hole in the middle of your pasta fork as a one serving of pasta, that's not a life hack. Well, it kind of is. That's also wrong. Yeah. Every spoon has a different size.

And don't tell me how much pasta to eat. Yeah, don't tell me what a serving is. How very dare you. How dare you. A pasta shame me. So you said this life hack was news to Ella, but won't necessarily be news to everyone. Oh, shut up.

Yeah, I get the feeling it won't be news to you but I saw it online and the reactions I saw from people were like what and then the other half were like yeah duh. When you're ready give us your life hack about zippers. So my life hack is about zippers if you're wearing a pair of jeans right now feel free to try it out. With the zipper when it is fully zipped up if you take the end piece of the zipper and fold it down it's locked and will not come down if you pull it apart and if it is an not in the downward locked position that's when your fly opens and you can easily pull

it apart isn't that incredible play the explosion sound effect isn't that amazing Ella didn't know that I'm sure and which Ella didn't know that and I feel like a lot of people wouldn't know that so if you have a problem with your fly being open all the time Make sure when you pull your zip to the top that you lock it into position. I feel like we have an honest relationship and I can tell you that I knew that But I'm interested to know who didn't know that. Did you not know that just before you learnt it recently? Was it news to you? I knew that and I thought it was quite obvious but the other people reacting to it were like

this is brand new information. People don't know how zips work anymore? No! But also I don't think I was ever specifically taught that. I think I just figured it out. No one told me this and also does it work on jackets? It'll work on any zip. Except those loosey goosey like bag zip. Oh no, not any zip. Not the ones with the little U-hook on top of it where the zip, the thingy flips around. Not on any zip. No, not any zip. It's specifically a locking zip, but it will work on all flies.

All jean flies. Any zip that looks like jean zips. Yeah, amazing. You know, I had a pair of jeans that I like jean zips if there's a jacket. Amazing. You know I had a pair of jeans that I really liked where the zip broke. Shut up. What colour were they? The zip thing broke and it wouldn't stay up. So what I did was I threaded a hair tie through the end little hole in the zip tab and I looped it through itself and made a knot.

And then I would twist that hair tie around the dome of my jeans to keep my zip up. You know what else you could do that might be easier? You put a key ring and then you just put the key ring around the button. Oh yeah with the key ring over the belt loop. And then you could put decorations on it as well you could have a labubu. Like carabiner style. Yeah. I did know your life hack I didn't realize this that you could take your jeans to like one of those Alteration stores in the mall and they can put a new zip in them for you Did you not know that either well that makes sense, but I like that I have just this oh my god

This is never mending clothes. I've never heard of altering clothes. I Have recently lost some weight and a lot of my pants don't fit anymore. I took three pairs of pants into the mall to the look smart place. I'm gonna be like a whole new man. That's a great idea. Yeah I know. Reuse and recycle you know. Anyway. Someone's asked on the text machine what's a labubu. Care to explain?

It's a very trendy keyring essentially. It's a troll doll. It's an overpriced troll doll key ring. Yeah google it. It's quite cute. They're ugly. Someone said that doesn't make sense what locks it. I don't know. It's just the way that- It's zip magic okay. Yeah it's zip magic. It's zip magic. We can't explain zip magic. We're not here to explain zip magic. Let me try. It locks into place. It locks into place. You just push it so it's sitting. And then someone else said, I thought we all knew the zip thing.

I thought so too. I think it's 50-50. I think it's 50-50. I figure if one person doesn't know it, there's chances are many people don't know it. Then you provided a service. Exactly right. And also I can alter your pants for you if you want.

I have a sewing machine at home. You stay out of my pants. Play ZM's Bree and pants. Today is a Tuesday and on Tuesdays we go looking for a NAME IN A HATE STAG! Thank you for not making me do that on my own. Yeah yeah, Brie's not here today and usually we would do that together so good to have some BVs. If you've never heard this what we do is we call a random name and we have a pre-decided random... No, I've got it the wrong way around.

Nothing's pre-decided. We pick a random name and then we call a random business and if the person with that name answers the phone, they win. And today the prize money is jackped up to $1,350. It gets up quick eh? Because we will have found a name in a haystack. Yes this is big money. Damn.

Especially if you're not listening to the radio and then the phone randomly rings and we just go hey because your name is Sarah you now get all this money. You almost wouldn't believe it. No. This is a scam. Yeah scam I'm not giving you my bank numbers. Yeah yeah scam. I'm not giving you my bank numbers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, part of me doesn't want it to go today because Bree's not here.

Can you imagine how gutted she would be if it went while she's not here? So does that mean do I go for a real crazy wild name? No, I reckon we still gotta play the odds. It's hugely unlikely that it's gonna happen. Oh, what if it did? Now I feel nervous. I'm like, hey. In this mindset, I'm like, it's never gonna happen. This is just for fun.

That's when it happens. Yeah. Ella, what is the name? I'm going for Josie. Josie. Josie Grossie. Josie Grossie. Claudia, where does Josie Grossie work?

She's a pharmacist and she's at a Unicam. Okay, specifically a Unqiem pharmacy. Yeah I just googled pharmacy and it was the first one that came up so I was like this is fate. A Uniqiem life pharmacy? It just says Uniqiem. Okay sweet ass. Yeah. Alright when you're ready Claudia please connect the call and if Josie at Uniqiem answers the phone she'll get $1,350. Hi there, who was I speaking with, sorry? Iona? Iona, did you say?

Oh hi, Iona, it's Bree and Clint calling from ZM radio station. We were looking for someone called Josie. Oh, are you calling to 262 Unigame Cruiser? Yeah, yeah, there's no one called Josie that works there? No. No, it's a silly game, it's just if someone called Josie that works there? No. No it's a silly game it's just if someone called Josie answered the phone they would have won $1,300 this afternoon. Oh was it from 260 Unicam Quay Shui? We just made up the location it's it's like a random thing but I'm sorry I know this is very

confusing but all good we'll we'll leave you to it. Thank you for your time. Oh, thank you. Okay. Thanks, bye. Why did I make that so awkward today? I don't know, you made it so uncomfortable. Why did I make it so... I felt like saving you.

Oh, good. She was trying to help me. She was like, are you sure you're at the right unicam? I'm like, no, no, that's not how the game works. It's just like a quick... Oh, dear. And then usually you pretend to have the name that we were looking for and then we have a little laugh.

Oh, that's my middle name. Oh, Josie's right here, hello. Oh, it's Josie here. Oh well. Good, that's what we wanted. We didn't want it to go today. We wanted not Josie, but now we really wanted Josie.

Yeah, yeah. Well, we'll be back next week when Brie is back and we will be searching for a name in a haystack for $1400. Oh! I know. I'm gonna rag it next time. Next on the show, have you seen the trend where people pretend to put olive oil in their engine

and then tell their dad that they've put olive oil in their car's engine? Ella's gonna call her mum next and tell her that she's put olive oil in her car's engine. It's believable! Instead of engine oil. I've never met someone's engine It's believable instead of engine oil I've never met someone where it is more believable Yeah this is good Let's do it That ends Brie and Clint podcast

No Brie today, she's back on Monday You may have seen this trend online at the moment where people are calling We're not calling, they're getting mostly their dads and telling them that they've put olive oil in their car's engine instead of engine oil to see how their dad will react. They haven't actually put the oil in, they're just testing their dad. Like this. Well it's oil.

It's f***ing cooking oil, it's not engine oil. It's all the same dad. It ain't, it's totally different oil. I just assumed oil. How much did you put in? Well it was half empty. Oh my. Oopsie.

What do I do? Well, now I'm going to have to service because it's got too much oil in it. My dad would shit the bed if I put olive oil in there. Not just because I would have wrecked the car, but because he'd be like, do you know how expensive olive oil is? Yeah, how dumb are you?

How dumb are you? Um, this afternoon, we thought we would call your mum. Yeah, because she, this is perfect. One, I'm not a car girl. No. Bit ditzy. And two, she always tells me to fill up my car with oil. Does she, would she know what oil to put in your car?

Oh, 100%. She'd know. She's good at that stuff. She's a strong independent woman. Yes. Okay. When you're ready, yeah, just call her and say, hey, I reckon you say like, hey, I've put the oil in my engine

and it's sounding really weird. Okay. And she'll be like, oh, and then just tell her that you've put like extra virgin. Yeah, I did the expensive oil. Yeah, put the extra virgin in. Yeah. Okay, all right, connecting to Ella's mum now

to tell her there's olive oil in her engine. Good luck. Hi. Hey, sorry, do you have a second? Yeah, as long as I'm not going on TV. No, no, no, no, I just had to run out of work quickly because I was using Ryan's car and it's making weird noises. Yeah, I did the oil thing that you tell me about this morning.

What, you checked it? Yeah, and I filled it up. Like the expensive- Well, when did you fill it? I used the stuff we have at home, Ryan's expensive oil that he uses for cooking. What? It's not working.

I'm really scared to tell Ryan. What oil did you use? Like the expensive oil Ryan uses to cook. They're like the virgin oil. What a good joke you are! Mum, I'm not joking! I thought it was... That is funny, you're a dick.

You think I'm gonna fall for that? DAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHEE put the good stuff and she put she put um she put the extra virgin olivani in there. It's an Italian car so she used the Italian oil. You thought you got me. Damn it! You know Ella's mum, it's actually a good thing that you didn't believe her because she wouldn't do that, would she? She wouldn't do something so stupid. Yes, she would.

She would. The minute she said though that she put it in somewhere in the car and knew it wasn't right because Ella would have no idea what it was. Oh, shut up. I do. I know how to check my oil. She's so stupid. She put it in somewhere in the car and I knew it wasn't right because Ella would have no idea where to put it. Oh, shut up. I do. I know how to check my oil. Oh, she's so stupid. Well, we're very sorry. I know we said we weren't putting you on the radio, but we lied. Can we just circle back? I'm not stupid. She just said she's so stupid.

Here's Katy Perry's California Girls on ZM. The winner of Birthday Banger today from Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg, California Girls, which careful if you're not sitting down and you're an elder millennial or any kind of millennial actually, it's hard to believe that song is 15 years old. 1.5 decades ago. How can that song be 15 when I'm 15? How can that song be 15 when it literally came out two years ago? Yeah, what? Wait, when did it come out? Like yesterday? I'm 15. How can that song be 15 when it literally came out two years ago? Yeah what? Wait when did it come out? Like yesterday? I was 10. That's a new song isn't it? I was 9! Same. That's new music isn't it? Brand new from Katy Perry. Will it age? No it's not. 2010 was a big

year for music I think. Didn't 10 A's dream come out the same time? How do you measure time? fireworks? I measure my time in significant events. Me too. I measure the 2000s by 9-11. So life is pre-9-11 and post-9-11. And then the Rugby World Cup in 2011. Oh yeah, right. Those are my stop points. My stop points, I've got the turn of the millennium,

so 2000. And then I've got when I left high school, when I left uni, and then the rest is a blur. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then suddenly it, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then suddenly it's now. And then now, yeah. 2025.

I'm the opposite, it's when I started school, so 2014. You started school in 2014? High school. Get out of this workplace. But you started high school in 2014 when I was leaving uni. You guys are old, man. Yeah, I was leaving uni.

Yeah, I was leaving uni too. I was going to talk about some PTSD for millennials about clubbing here, but I don't know if we've got it. So now I'm going to have PTSD. I know that's okay. We can do it tomorrow. We could just fill it in and then let Claude paddle like a duck. No, cause there's a little, there's edits that need to be made. This way, we're, you don't want me to paddle like a duck? No, because there's edits that need to be made. They're swear words.

You don't want me to paddle like a duck? I don't want you to paddle like a duck. Or whatever Ella says. I don't know, you know how ducks do it. Can you tell me, Ella, you're a Gen Z'd. Yes, question. Do you guys go clubbing? No.

Did clubbing die? I feel like COVID might have killed clubbing. Maybe. The 18 year olds definitely hit like town. Town, yeah. Call that clubbing. I've never felt more out of touch asking this question by the way but I was thinking about it the other day and I was like, do you get your town clothes on and do some pre-loading? Town clothes are just normal clothes now. And then, isn't that insane? They're not wearing their business attire to the clubs. They don't have to wear leather shoes to the clubs.

It's ridiculous. Although I think Christchurch has a weird shoe policy. It's a dress code. Sorry. A dress code. But yeah, I agree. I agree. I would have never worn my town shoes anywhere but town.

Yeah, exactly. And then you're at parties and like, let's go to town spontaneously. And then you're like, I don't have my town shoes. My dress tipping shoes. No, no, going to town was never spontaneous. It was always the objective. That's the difference. So you show up to the party in your town clothes and your town shoes

Because the objective is to go to town. Well, what was your like the epitome of your town outfit? slip on leather shoes socks with a with a semi pointed toe Brown leather like a tan leather. How much are the shoes? As cheap as possible because they just get covered in club gunk. Skinny jeans, obviously. Did you have the rips in the knees? No, no rips. So you're nice skinnies. Like pretty tight t-shirt. Like a dress shirt? Oh a dress shirt in Rotorua. But then once I got to the Big Smoke in Auckland you could get away with like a v-neck t-shirt. Like a really deep V. A really deep V from like um, from industry. The deeper the V the

smaller the P. Or something. So they say. And then, and then, and then, how much else eh? What was your town outfit? A lot of... Feature necklace? Yes, statement necklace. Statement necklace. A long necklace, ideally an owl or a leaf on the necklace. Classic.

Generally, nice top and a pair of jeans. Or... Nice top and jeans. Yeah, jeans and a nice top. Jeans and a nice top. Blazer? Blazer? Blazer. Or like a skirt with a blazer and like wedge Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jeans and a nice top blazer blazer blazer blazer blazer with a blazer and like weird shoes. Big heel. Yeah. Would you, were you in the era of heels? Yes. Oh, yeah.

Everyone wore heels, but they were always wedges and they were like suede and you'd wear them one time and they'd get club gunk. Club gunk. And yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I never cleaned my town shoes. No, you don't. No, but they lasted. Yeah. Yeah. They're held together with club gunk. They're held together with, yeah. I never cleaned my town shoes. No, you don't. No, but they lasted Together with clubgum they're held together with yeah and your hopes and dreams Well, I'm glad I just hit Ponce and be up to be honest. That sounds like a lot Oh, you're so classy. You're so much better than us. No, I'm not wearing your flat shoes dead by a tree Was that your objective not my objective, you know, it's a good night if I'm dead by a tree. Yeah well that's fun.

Alright well join us at this time tomorrow when we revisit Millennial Nightclub memories with the audio. The ZM Podcast Network. I saw this post today which has gone pretty viral actually to the point that you know when someone does something and they coin a term like it's a post that goes so viral you go oh my god that's the name for that thing now. I can't think of an example of it right now, but. Girl Math.

Girl Math. There you go. Girl Math, that's a perfect example of it. The post that I saw, someone just wrote this on their video on the screen, it said, I overheard someone call a diet Coke a fridge cigarette, and nothing has been more true to me since the idea of a diet coke and when you hear that you go oh my god that's what it

is you don't even need to explain this you don't need to explain that I'm not a diet coke girly but I understand the place that a specifically a diet coke holds advice yeah yeah it's like I'm having a hard one I I need a diet coke. I need to pop out for a fridge cigarette. They talk about the crack of the can being like the spark of the lighter and then the sparkly fizzy sound of bubbles and then the mouth feel when it first hits your system and then suddenly all of your cares are gone, which I don't smoke either, but that's what I imagine the first drag of a cigarette is like when you need one. Right? I was trying to think about other things that could be considered fridge cigarettes as well,

because I'm not, like I said, I'm not a Diet Coke person. No, I never got into the DCs. I'm not a cigarette person. No. So what's my fridge cigarette? What's my thing? Yeah thought a bit about it. I think for me one really cold beer straight out of the fridge. Oh when you're hot? When you're hot or you've had a hard day. You've done a big day. Or you've done the mahi like mowing the lawns or something and you feel like you've earned it and then just the... With the lime? And then no not, not a lime. Oh, I love a lime.

Oh yeah, okay, well it depends on the beer, I guess. For a Corona. Yeah, yeah. Is it a freezer beer as well? Because that's also dangerous. No, no, it's a fridge beer. Okay, just a... It's a fridge beer, it's perfect temp.

And you drink about a third of it on the first drag. Ooh. Yeah. It's either that or a processed cheese slice in the plastic wrapping. I was just about to say cheese. Yeah, like a... Brian talks a lot about eating shredded cheese out in the plastic wrapping. I was just about to say cheese. Yeah, like that. Brian talks a lot about eating shredded cheese out of the bag.

And I experienced that properly for the first time recently. And I was like, I get it. Cheese from the bag. But this is less classy than cheese from the bag. I'm talking like a Chesdale cheese slice or a better by bigger cheese slice. Probably isn't even cheese. It's not cheese, it's plastic. And you take the plastic off the plastic cheese

and then you might roll it up like a cigarette and put it between your fingers too, and then that could be my fridge cigarette. Anything else? I'm like that with a good cup of tea. Like it's not from the fridge, but like, you know, when it just hits man. Well it hits so much.

That's a Nan cigarette. Yes, Nan cigarette. Straight away, hot sauce and hummus come to mind. Get that hit straight away. Don't do the silent thing. Don't know. It's good. Immediately lost your audience. Shut up.

You know cigarettes are vegan, eh? You could just have a cigarette. Well I don't mind a vape. When that hummus hits your lits. Craving some hummus. Now I want some hot sauce. Sometimes I'll just eat the chickpeas raw and tip the olive oil in my mouth. You guys wouldn't believe what I did last night. You guys are.

I'm going to be a fit 40 year old man. I'm going to be covered in cheese. Yeah, I'm going to eat some more cheese.
