The ZM Podcast Network. Are we a seven-day-a-week podcast now? Or is that a hypothetical thing we want to achieve? People don't want that. People probably, some people do want that. I might as well start now, right? I want a break from us come the weekend. Yeah, I want a break from myself. Should I see if Ross tells me to do it but not ask him? Should I just wait until he comes to me?

This is how I operate. That's a great idea to do that. Somebody tells you they want something done and you go, cool, just put it back on them. You give me the info. And then it's great idea to do that. Somebody tells you they want something done and you go, cool, just put it back on them. You give me the info. And then it's on their to-do list. Yeah, you let me know. It's off your to-do list.

It's on their to-do list. It usually buys you at least a week. Yeah, 100%. So I'll just wait and see. And then just hope they forget. That's a great idea. Can you send me the details and maybe an appointment in my diary and I'll sort it out.

I hate when people do that i get so many emails and it's always like okay cool if you could just do this one thing and i'm like do you do the thing and then put it in my diary i hate doing things too claude things too many things speaking of things you guys will be so proud i did an hour and a half to two hours of admin this morning. Do you want to say of walking? Me too. No, of admin that I've been putting off for weeks. Did you feel good? I felt so good.

But now it's just there's a bunch of emails in my inbox because everyone's replying to all the emails I sent. Did that impinge on your walking time today? It did. Yeah. So there's a trade-off, eh? There are only 24 hours in the day. It really did. I only got to. There's a trade-off. There are only 24 hours in the day. It really did. I only

got to go for a 20-minute walk. I'm just coming around to see how many unread emails you have. You're not going to like this. Whoa! Where does it say? Oh, there. So I thought I had a lot at 153. Is this work or personal? This is Gmail

personal. Oh, God. We're not even fucking opening Bree's work emails. She can't open that thing. Bree has... 1,720. 1,720. Oh, that's nothing. Wait, wait, wait.

Do you want to do my work email? We'll need another drumroll. Okay, cool, yeah. Bree's work email. 3,200. There we go. So we're at 5,000. Bree's work email. 3,200. There we go. So we're at 5,000 total. Ish.

Yeah. Oh, I've got 1,498 unread work emails. Yeah, there's so much crap in there. Yeah, it's just a lot of, like, Microsoft stuff. It's a lot of, like, do this security bloody seminar. Careful, careful, careful. I tried to shun the security people. I got added to a watch list.

I always do mine. Clint never does his on time. I do now. I don't want to be on a watch list. They're watching you. You're all tough about it and then they put you on the list and you're like,

oh, sorry, I'll do it. Sorry. I want to get on the IT bad side. I'm what's known. They are smart. I'm what's known technically as a little bitch. Little bitch. Little bitch.

To his first words, weren't they? Little bitch. To his first words. That's actually how Claudia and I first bonded. She brought that up and I was like, I remember this. And then we laughed about it. The little bitch video. Me and my partner talk about it all the time.

I changed. No, it wasn't to, partner talk about it all the time. I changed. No, it wasn't Tui. Because you'd played her first words. I wouldn't mess with her first words. It's her second words. It was the second time you'd done it. I think Tui said her second words. I was like, yeah, time to mess with this.

Little bitch. Little bitch. It's the best thing you've ever done. Ever. It makes them. Just imagining like a baby saying it. Is it still on the system? I've looked for it.

I can't find it. The video is on our Facebook page. Yeah, the video is on our Facebook. So funny. Little bit. I'm going to watch that. I'm going to find out. Tui's a badass.

Don't mess with Tui. She'll get you. She'll cut a bitch. She will. All right. Should we GTFO before anybody tells us to do any more work? Don't mess with Tui She'll get ya She'll cut a bitch She will Alright Shall we GTFO Before anybody tells us

I've got like show things to do. What are you doing tonight? Working really hard. Tonight I'm looking at a car for someone else. I don't know anything about cars. I'm going to ask about gear sticks. No. Oh, come on, man. What do I got to do to be taken seriously as a car guy?

How many goddamn cars do I have to buy to be taken seriously as a car guy? Just because you buy the cars doesn't mean you know much about them. You know what it is? I know how much they cost. It's because you've never bought a new car.

That's why. I am a chainsaw guy. I've bought a new car. Would you like to ask me? I'm a car guy. Specifically Mitsubishi. What's a cool car question to ask people

to make them think I know about cars? Do you know the service history of this vehicle? Okay, cool. I'll write that down. Oh, but Okay, cool. All right, then. Oh, but that's boring. You should ask them.

Is this New Zealand new? You should ask them stuff like, how loud is the exhaust? It's a $3,000 Mazda Demio. Buy it or not. You should say, is this a 1.8 or a 2 litre engine? What's the gas?

Ma'am, this is a bicycle. How many miles to the 100 kilometres does this car get? Ma'am, this is a horse. This is a bicycle. How many miles to the 100 kilometers does this car get? Ma'am, this is a horse. This is a trike. How many horsepower does this car have? One. It's a horse. They're like, not many.

I don't think a horse even has one horsepower. A unicycle? How many tires does this thing come with? One. How many horsepower does a horse have? Has this got a spare in the back? Or a safety tire? Do you guys know how to change a tyre?

Yes. I don't. You should learn. You know what's an interesting thing, though, is a lot of cars that are, like, new past a certain date, it's nearly impossible to get the nuts off the actual tyre. Excuse me? Is that a car term?

It's impossible to get the nuts off. I agree. I don't get it. I don't have the same problem. If it's too old. You just have to screw the nuts off. I agree. I don't get it. I don't have the same problem. If it's too old. You just have to screw. If the car's too hard. You just have to screw as hard as you can and the nuts will get off.

Get some oil in there. We're leaving. Bye. Enjoy the podcast. 15 horsepower, by the way. 15? That sounds like a shit box. No, a horse is 15 horsepower.

Huh? That's fucking incredible. Wait, one horse is 15 horsepower? Yeah. That makes no sense. No sense at all. No incredible. Wait, one horse is 15 horsepower? That makes no sense. No sense at all. No sense. Goodbye. G'day everybody. Welcome

to the Brie and Clint show on ZM. How you going? I like our new opening music because you know what it sounds like? It sounds like the radio version of Love Island. Exactly how I feel about it. Play it again from the start and just picture like you're watching Love Island

and you'll be there. You ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Previously on Love Island. Brie Thomasel's making her third trip to the fridge this afternoon. What are you looking for, Brie? Anything I can get my hands on. You know you're lactose intolerant. It's skim milk.

I think you're going for the cheese more than the milk, to be honest. Yeah, I wish there was cheese in the work fridge. Also, skim milk is not lactose free, by the way. Don't tell my stomach that. I've tricked it. All right. Let's get this thing happening, everybody. We've got a round of Google Down.

No, sorry. A round of Tradie vs. Lady to play straight away. The ladies are in front for the first time in, I think, maybe nine months. The ladies are ahead on the scoreboard, but only by one point. That's right. So we need two people to call.

Go head to head. $50 cash is up for grabs as always. Thanks to KFC. If you want it, you got to call now. 0800 dial ZM. You watching Love Island, by the way? Yeah. It's pretty good.

It takes up so much of your life. Like I'm liking it. I'm enjoying it. I always say that. And then I was like, what else am I doing with my life? Well, that's a great point. It's either that or... I'm thinking your time's so valuable, man.

It's either that or watching Sex and the City for the 20th time. Bree and Clint. Time for a round of Tradie vs. Lady. Bree and Clint. Tradie vs. Lady. Here we go. As Clint said before, the ladies, for the first time in a while, have taken the lead.

Only by one game, though. They sit on four wins for the year. The tradies are on three. Ladies are going to cement that lead today. Oh, they're coming. They're going in hard. They're going strong. Let's meet our lady.

She's from Tāmaki Makaurau. She's 30, and she hates the feeling of toothbrush bristles. Right. Okay. Welcome to the show, Ella. G'day, Ella. Might be a silly question. How do you brush your teeth?

I still do it, but I do truly hate it. You still like it? No, I hate it. Are you all right with flossing? I still dislike it, but like I do it, I just hate the feeling of it. Wow, I wonder if there's a name for what you have. There would be. Maybe.

Some kind of mouth phobia. Okay. I hate the feeling of microfiber towels. Oh, yeah. Yuck. They make me feel like my hands are covered in tiny little hooks. Same. Yeah.

Ugh, hate it. Okay, you're taking on our tradie today. He's from Napier. He's 19 years old, and he loves sausages. Welcome to the show, Nick. Oh, Nick. Don't we all? Hello.

Are we talking the saucy and bread or just, you know, the raw dog sausage? Straight up saucy, yeah. Just any kind of saucy. I love the ones with cheese in it. Yeah. Oh, yes, Nick. It is an underrated food group because it is so broad. Do you guys have cabana?

You can put anything in a sausage. Do you have cabana here? What's cabana? Oh, it's like that sausage you buy in the deli, like the one Nick's talking about. It's got cheese in it. Oh, it's called a sizzler here. Oh, it's called a sizzler, yeah.

Yeah. Delicious. Fun fact, not a real sausage. Okay, Nick. Is anything in a sausage real? Yeah. If you get good sausage from the butcher, that's good stuff, mate. Anyway, we could talk about sausages all day, but let's get into our game.

I mean, Nick's loving this chat. That's what you came for, Nick? Pardon? Don't worry. Your buzzer's tradie. Ella, your buzzer is lady. First to three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash. Thanks to our mates at KFC.

Where did the martini first originate from? Is it the USA, France, or Italy? Trady. Yes, Nick. Italy. It's a great guess, but no, that's incorrect. Ella? Italy.

I mean, not as good a guess as when Nick said it, but... Oh, no. We were looking for USA. Apparently, some sources say... Oh, can I guess? Can I guess? Italy? No, unfortunately, we were looking for USA.

That one's been guessed, Ella. Bree and Clint. You know what one of my favourite games is? Monopoly Deal. I love that game. Oh, Monopoly Deal. I love that game. Oh, Monopoly Deal. So good. No, yelling things at producer Claudia or asking producer Claudia

to get me either music or sound bites like five seconds before we're about to go there. Did you do that just then? Yeah. I just did it to her too. Did you? Yeah, but I couldn't hear you because I had my headphones on. So fun, isn't it? Wait.

What did you say? What did you say? Claudia, what did... I only heard Bree. What did you say? What did you say? Claudia, what did... I only heard Bree. What did you ask for? I said, can you get me the Back to the Future theme song, please? Oh, yeah. I got it.

What did you want? A cow noise. Oh, yeah, I'll find it. A cow mowing. Yeah. Well, obviously we know who producer Claude listens to the most. Yeah. Okay, well, we've got them both now, so this is going to be a perfect radio break.

This is going to be a solid radio break if This is going to be a solid radio break. If I could just find what we're talking about. There we go. Guys... That cow moo doesn't look long enough. Is that the best one you can find? I can do a cow moo. Just put a bit of effort in, please.

If you want. I can do a solid cow moo. Okay, that's good. That's how we call the cows. You can just put that on a soundbite if you want, Claude. Thank you. We need those two things because this next story is taking us into the future for the butcher's world.

The cow noise. Solid. This is good radio This is radio on the fly This is how it should be Yep This is how it was back in the day None of this pre-prepared Nah

Bull-tucky None of that stuff You should have said Bull-sh Yeah I did That's Oh right I just

What did you say? Bulltucky? Yeah. Anyway, let's move on. This is going into the future because I saw this. All right, settle down. All right, girls. I've lost control of the sound of pigs.

Claude. Guys, can we have a single line, please? I'm going on my break. I've had enough. God, Jersey cows are hard to control. I've got them under control. I've reined them in. People are like, what are you guys talking about?

Whoa, doggies, you think that was weird? Wait until Bree tells you what she actually wants to talk about. This is actually really interesting, okay? So bear with me for a second. I came across this online yesterday where it blew my mind. So get this. It was a video of a guy who is the owner of a 24-7 self-service butchery. Okay. Which means you can go into this store where no one works. No one will be there except all the products there.

Yeah. No one works there and you can go in at any time of the day or night and buy stuff from this butchery. So is it like an honesty box system? Like I could steal the meat if I wanted to? Could I? Well, technically yes. You don't really want to steal from a butcher but they have a lot of knives.

Yeah. But I'm saying hypothetically. Let's take a listen. We've got a little clip of the owner here talking about his self-service 24-7 butchery. So customers get their unique PIN code once they sign up to be a member. And then once they enter their code, they gain access. This is open 24-7, 365. And all this meat we grow on our regenerative farm 10km up the road. When you're in, you use an app on your smartphone called Express Checkout

to scan the frozen produce and add it to your shopping cart. You get paid, use your debit or credit card. We're doing around $3,000 revenue a week, and in two years we've had zero theft and zero shrinkage. Zero shrinkage. That's a good sign. I don't know why I put that personal detail in there. Plus I've never had shrinkage. It must be an entrepreneur

business term that we don't know. He's cracked it. You can't steal from them. Because you have to put in your unique pin number to enter the butchery so they know that it was you. They'll know it's you. No, plus they have like a heap of high definition cameras in you. They'll know it's you. Yeah, right. No, plus they have like a heap of high definition cameras in the store. Yeah. So they know it's you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like I said, don't steal from a butcher. No. He will cut you. Mate, he will with his big cleaver. Yeah. Yeah. This is the future, mate.

This is crazy stuff. We talked about this last year where there's a bed store in Auckland that does the same thing. There's no people that- That's dangerous. I know. Is it 24-7? It's 24-7. There's no one that works in there. You go onto the website and you say, I want to come

in and try out some beds. I know. They give you a unique code. Late night, you're with someone, you're like... That's exactly what I thought. Should we go back to your place? You go to the bed store, you key in your unique pin so they know it's you in the store and then you just go in there after hours because the idea is that it's too awkward to lie on beds in front of store, you key in your unique pin so they know it's you in the store, and then you just go in there after hours. Because the idea is that it's too awkward to lie on beds in front of people,

and you go in there after hours and try out the beds. I think, yeah, it is awkward. And how are you meant to tell if the mattress is for you with 10 minutes of laying on it? You know? You're not meant to spend the night, but yeah, interesting. Right, okay. So that's why we played the theme again in the cows. Here it is.

The future of butchering. Great Scott Sheffillet. Scotchfillet. That was close. I just didn't execute enough. Do we need to cross to our show's vegan correspondent for a review of that story or? Nah.

That'll really suck the joy out of it, won't it? Brian Clint. I want to talk about this next story because I feel like people will be able to relate, especially if you have a name that's spelt in an unusual way. And it might be a super common name, but just spelt in an unusual way. Yeah. Which I mean... Your parents took some creative license they're like let's call him peter but spell it with a y and three z he's not a normal peter he's a cool peter let's name her epony ray spelt e double p double e hyphen double e double n

lovely beautiful um look a woman has spoken out because she's real angry. She's actually gobsmacked is the word she's used after realising her husband has been spelling their five-month-old baby's name wrong. His own kid? Yeah, his own baby. Classic dad move. I mean, he's not far off. He's not far off.

But let's delve into the details and then we can make our judgments. So apparently he is blaming it on autocorrect. He's saying it's not me. It's autocorrect. Yeah. Because of the way. Yeah, because there's a fruity spelling and his phone's correcting it to the traditional spelling. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So apparently she noticed that he was spelling their son's name wrong, obviously through text, so every time he would talk about it. But you know what alerted her to the fact that he was spelling it wrong? The birth certificate. Well, no. The birth certificate is spelled.

Sometimes dads take care of the birth certificate and they get some details wrong. No, it is what it is on the birth certificate and he's spelling it a different way. She noticed that he was getting it wrong because whenever she talked to his friends or text with his friends, they would spell it wrong. Okay. I need to know the name and I need to know the spelling.

Yeah. So, I mean, it's not that unusual at all. Like it's pretty stock standard. So the name of their son is Isaac. Okay. Right? And apparently he is spelling their son's name Isaac. I-S-S-A-C.

Wait, wait, sorry, sorry. Say it one more time. I-S-S-A-C. One A. Got it. One A. How does she spell it? She spells it standard I-S-A-A-C.

Oh, just the other version? Yeah. Okay, easy mistake to make. Pretty easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it's not that unusual, right? Not that unusual, but she's ropeable about it, which I think this would happen quite a lot.

That kid has one of those names that's going to get spelled wrong for their entire life, just like you. A lot of people will text us regularly asking to talk to Bree, B-R-I-E. Yeah. Like the cheese. Which I'm not mad about it, to be honest. I would love to be named after a cheese, so I'm fine with it. But also my real name, Brianna.

Brianna. People always spell it a bunch of different ways. B-R-E. Yeah. One N, two Ns. Yeah. An I. Yeah.

Someone's already texted and they said, my little one's name is Jaden, spelt J-A-E-D-Y-N. Wait, say it again. J-A-E-D-Y-N. Oh, that it again. J-A-E-D-Y-N. Oh, that's unusual. Jazzy, eh? Yeah, that's unusual. That's what I want to ask people.

Especially when J-A-D-E-N exists. Yeah, I mean, that is a name that exists. This is what I want to ask. I want to ask people right now, do you have one of these names or do you know someone that has a name that is spelt in a really unusual way? Get this text that's just come in. I am 50 years old and my dad still spells my name wrong. From Mary Ann.

M-A-R-Y-A-N-N. Do you reckon he puts an E on the end? Yes. Yeah. Or he spaces it out. Mary Ann. You're like, damn it, Dad. There's no E.

For God's sake. Someone just texted and they said, because we're talking about names that people will always spell wrong, they said, imagine being called Caitlin. Spelled C-A-I-T-L-I-N. Why, how would you spell it? I feel like I'd spell Caitlin like that. Some people would check a Y in.

Or K-A-I-T-L-I-N. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, someone else said, my hubby also is called Justin with a Y-J-U-S-T-Y-N. Justin? My son's name is Casey, spelt K-A-Y-C-E. My dad's name is Neil, N-E-A-L-E, Neil. Well, there's so many texts.

I love it. This is blowing up. Paige, have you got the Paige one? Yeah, Paige. My niece is called Paige, P-A-I-J-E, never spelt correctly. Yeah, because that's not a common way to spell Paige. Put those parents in jail. Oh, God.

What's this one? Oh, that is not. My daughter's name is Kindle, K-E-N-D-Y-L, God. What's this one? Oh, that is not. My daughter's name is Kindle. K-E-N-D-Y-L-L. What about this one? Someone said, a child at my kid's school's name is Jason, spelt J-A-Y-C-E-O-N. Nah, shut up.

What? Do that again. Jason. J-A-Y-C-E-O-N. Jay-C-E-O-N. Jay-C-E-O-N. Jay-C-E-O-N, dear ruler.Y-C-E-O-N. Jayceon. Jayceon. Jayceon, dear ruler. Jayceon.

My daughter's name is Dallas, spelt D-A-L-L-I-C-E. Dallas. Oh, yeah, that's nice. Well, I guess you've tried to feminise Dallas. No, it's nice. It's different. It's unusual, that one. My cousin's called Liam, L-E-E-A-M.

Someone said, is Clint actually spelt with a K? No, it's spelt with a U. We want to know, do you have an unusually spelt name? And can you laugh about it? Yeah, like pretty common name but unusual spelling. Bree and Clint. This is such a funny topic. This is blowing up.

People are texting through. We've asked you the question, do you or someone you know have a name? That's quite a common name. Not super unusual, but it's spelt in a really unique way. That's how we should say. Unique. It's a unique spelling. Someone's texting.

They said, my name's Tracy. Spelt T-R-A-S-I-E. Oh, yeah, that's unusual. I went through Heathrow Airport. They deal with millions of people every day. And even they commented they had never seen Tracy spelt like that. Nice, Tracy. You're unique.

What about this one? Someone said, my name is Melissa. Standard name, but with two I's and two S's. Like Mississippi. Melicia. That's how I and two S's. Like Mississippi. Melissia. That's how I'd say that name. Melissia. My cousin's name is Ryan, spelt R-H-I-A-N.

Oh yeah, never seen that before. I wonder if that's a cultural. Kind of like rhino. Yeah, very similar to rhino. Similar to rhino. So we want to know do you have an unusual unusually spelt name? I knew we were going to Rhino. Similar to Rhino. So we want to know, do you have an unusual, unusually spelt name? I knew we were going to get one. Caitlin's here.

Hi, Caitlin. G'day, Caitlin. Hey, guys. How are you? Are we talking to a Caitlin with a C or a Caitlin with a K? It's a Caitlin with a C. Okay, Caitlin with a C. Give us the spelling of your name, Caitlin.

Okay, so it's C-A-E-T-L-Y-N. Whoa. Oh, yeah. And can I ask, is that a cultural thing or is that just your parents taking some creative license? I don't know if I can say this on the radio, but basically my sister's name starts with K and my brother's name starts with K

and my dad's name starts with K. And my dad's a cop, so I'm a C. Yeah, they didn't want... Right. No, no, we get what you mean? We understand what you're saying? Yeah, I forgot what I'm putting down. The Kardashians didn't abide by that rule, did they? Yeah, they're all K names, aren't they?

Yeah, okay. Thank you, Caitlin. Thank you, Caitlin, with a C. That's right. Appreciate it, Caitlin. Someone texted through because we were talking about earlier a dad getting the name wrong on the birth certificate. Couldn't spell it right. Someone said

you're talking about dads getting names wrong on birth certificate. My husband slash ex-husband got my daughter's spelling wrong so her name has been spelled incorrectly her whole life. On her birth certificate. It says we have adapted and her name is now Leticia,

spelled L-E-I-T-C-I-A. You didn't need the extra I. Give Dad a break. That is a bloody hard name. It was after her great-grandmother. No! So he's not even allowed to say he doesn't like the name? He has to go, oh, yeah, beautiful name.

I changed it slightly. Ellie's here. Hi, Ellie. Hi, Ellie. Hiya. This is about your neighbour. Your neighbour has an unusually spelt name? Yeah, so they're a little girl living down the road,

and her name was Olivia. Olivia, beautiful. Okay, pretty standard name. And then when I saw her mum post her birthday on Facebook, it was A-H-L-Y-V-I-A. So, wait, say that. Wait, you're going to have to slow this down for us. Go again.

A-H-L-Y-V-I-A. No. Ah. No. Ah, Livia. Ah, Livia. No. I was like, who's this?

Really? I was trying to think of what variations you could do with Olivia. I never thought about changing the O. That never even crossed my name. I don't think I could even look at that spelling and go, oh, yeah, Olivia. It's like that TV show. Oh, it was good for a chuckle. Ah, real monsters.

Oh, God. Ah, Olivia. Very funny. Thank you very much, Ellie. We appreciate it. Someone said, my hubby is Kyle spelled K-I-E-L Kyle

Yes good My boyfriend's name is Jacob spelled J-A-K-U-B Jacob We've had a message from a teacher they have a Lincoln spelled L-Y-N-K-O-N They also have a Lincoln spelled L-Y-N-K-O-N.

Link. They also have a Lincoln spelled L-I-N-K-I-N. And then they also have a Lincoln spelled L-Y-N-K-I-N. They said it's never ending. Oh, they've got so many variations for Brianna as well. Do they? What are the variations? B-R-E-Y-A-R-N-A.

Oh, no. Brianna. Briannaarna Why? If you were born on a pirate ship that's how we'd spell your name Briarna If something ain't broke don't fix it Rebecca's here, hey Bec Hi how are you? I believe it's your kids names that you've spelt differently Bec

Yeah my daughters are called Maeve and Alva Oh beautiful, Irish names? called Maeve and Alva. Oh, beautiful. Irish names? Yeah. Yep, yep, okay. Maeve, M-A-E-V-E. How have you spelled it? M-A-E-B-H. Oh, yeah. That's Irish though, isn't it?

That's the Irish spelling. Yeah, I think that's fine. That's okay. It's like Neve. Yeah, yeah. Okay, and what's the other one? Then Alva is A-I-L-B-H-E. B? B? Yeah, A-I-L-B-H-E. B? B? Yeah, A-I-L-B-H-E. But it's Alva.

Yeah. Not Alba. Have you just... That's a beautiful name. Have you just accepted that people are going to spell your kid's name wrong on every goodie bag party they ever attend? Yeah, and as a Rebecca, I've also had the misspelling, so it's only fair. How do you spell Rebecca?

R-E-B-E-C-C-A. Yeah, there's heaps of ways to spell Rebecca. Thanks, Jake, we appreciate it. I mean, Beck, you just tell people, oh, you're uncultured, you don't get it. You swine. Oh, what about this? My friend's name is Caleb, spelled K-Y-L-E-A-B.

Oh, yep, okay. What about this? Leighton, but it's spelt, oh, that's not true. Le, yeah. Okay. What about this? Leighton, but it's spelt. Oh, that's not true. Leighton. L-8-N. No, that's a lie. You're not allowed to register names with numbers.

Are you sure? No, I'm not sure, but I'm hoping. Bree and Clint. Oh, there's a lot of controversy swirling around this video online at the moment, Clint. Because a woman has spoken out about what she thinks is fair when it comes to how much bridesmaids or groomsmen pay to be a part of your big day. I've told you before, nothing.

They pay nothing. What about the hens or stag? Oh, yeah, they pay for everything. She said no. Oh, really? They pay nothing. Not even the hens and stag do? No. Oh, really? They pay nothing. Not even the hens and stag do? No.

Oh. Who funds that? The bride and groom? Yes. Oh. See, now you're not on board. Yeah. So let's listen.

Well, stag dos in particular are very rarely anything to do with the stag. Like it's just an excuse for everybody else to have a party. That's true. I would say the stag probably doesn't need to pay for his stag do Like it's just an excuse for everybody else to have a party. That's why I would say the stag probably doesn't need to pay for his stag do. But I'm open to suggestion. Let's discuss. Let's listen to what she has to say. She's getting married in August so I guess that's why she's

talking about it and how she is approaching it. Is she the bride? She's the bride. Okay cool. Let's take a listen. I'm getting married in August and I don't expect my bridesmaids to pay for a single thing, including the hen's party. Your wedding is not your bridesmaids' financial responsibility. If they're in your bridal party, they're paying for a lot of stuff.

Bridal shower, hen's party, makeup, hair, if you're paying for that, a dress, and a wedding gift on top of that. You're essentially asking for them to pay for your financial responsibilities, right? It's your wedding. You want to have a wedding, and yet you're expecting them to put their finances to the side to make way for your wedding. She's very right.

She's got a good point, eh? She's very right. It is your wedding and your responsibility. Like, technically, your bridesmaids or groomsmen have really not made any decision. We can cut some of these costs straight away, by the way. Bridal shower? Oh, get rid of that.

What even is a bridal shower? It's just an excuse to get more gifts. It's gifting, eh? You gift at a bridal shower. Yeah. But it's not the hen's do. No. It's another thing.

Well, I don't know. Yeah. I think sometimes people combine them. Yeah. we can get we can get rid of that straight away that's gone okay

um I I don't I don't believe I don't believe that anybody in your bridal party should have to pay

for what they're wearing on the day I've seen that one before and like here's the dress we're getting ladies it's $200 and you all have to buy

this exact one yeah I don't agree with that no no no no no you want them to wear that you200 and you all have to buy this. Yeah, I don't agree with that. No, no, no, no, no, no. You want them to wear that. You buy what you want us to wear. You clothe them. Including, like in my opinion, including the shoes, jewellery, you pay for the hair and makeup.

Yeah. Like because at the end of the day it is your wedding. You don't have to go to the hen's party though. So if you don't want to pay for it, you don't have to go to that. I think this is how I look at it for the hen's party because I totally get what she's saying. But you are – They do get out of control.

That part is actually fun. So let's think about it logically. I think a fair way to do it would be maybe you pay for the accommodation. For? For? For the hen's party. Yeah. Oh, yeah, okay.

And then everyone pays for it. Just for your bridesmaids? Yeah. Or are you putting everybody at the hen's party up in the hotel? No, for the, oh, yeah, it's hard. No, I was thinking maybe you get a house like an Airbnb and everyone stays there or something. I don't know.

Yeah, yeah. But, like, I mean, it's hard. It is hard. It just sounds expensive. Everything sounds expensive. Weddings are so expensive. But that lady is right in saying that it's your wedding. So it is your responsibility.

But like at the end of the day, it cost me a fortune when my sister got married and I was in the bridal party. And the next minute I was getting- Well, you had to fly there. I was getting- well, you had to fly there. Well, I had to fly there and then I had to get gifts and then I had to pay for a lot of the stuff for the hen's night. I feel like you don't have to give a gift if you're in the bridal party. Yeah, but then I'm her sister.

Even less reason to have to give a gift. I feel like the gift is my flights, my airfares. Your presence is your present. Exactly. Should we ask people? We want to ask you what you were asked to pay for at a wedding. Did you get like an absolutely massive bill? Yeah, yeah.

It doesn't, like, probably if you were in the bridal party, this is more likely to have happened. But were they like, did they ask you to pay to attend the wedding? Did they say, this is what we're wearing, it's a $1,000 suit and you all have to buy one? Yeah, this is how much hair and makeup costs, this is the shoes you have to buy. I think, is it okay if the bride or the groom goes,

look, I don't have enough money to pay for your outfit, but you can choose whatever you want to wear. Yeah. But you have to pay for it. So long as I'm allowed to wear something that I already own. Yeah, fair enough. Like if I've already got a nice suit and I can wear it. Yeah, that's fine.

Yeah. That's fine. Yeah, just pretend like you just bought it. Okay. Oh, $100,000. We want to know. No, this is new. Isn't it Helen Stein's catalogue 2013 that you're wearing?

Why can't you do up the pants? Bree and Clint. I think she's so right. Can I just say, though, she sounds rich. She kind of sounds rich. Well, I think she's quite young. I don't think she is. She?

Well, I don't know. I don't know her personally. She sounds, just going off her voice. Oh, you reckon you can tell how rich someone is based on their voice? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but look at what I can do. She sounds healthy and wealthy. Ready?

Look at what I can do with my voice. I'll close my eyes. Ready? I sound like, you know, working class, you know, ridgy didgy. And then I'll be like. Bogan. I've got you, Bogan. Okay.

Oh, hello there, Clint. It's so nice to meet you. Could you please get to the packages from my Range Rover? Yeah, you sound rich, but you don't talk like that. But I could talk like that. Yeah, you could. You could. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, hi, Clint. How are you? This is beside the point, okay? My husband, Graham, he's a plastic surgeon. I'm about to get my knees done. This is so far outside what we're talking about. Let's focus. Focus, everybody.

Good chat for tomorrow. Call us up. Based on your voice, we will pick if you're rich or let's focus. Focus, everybody. Good chat for tomorrow. Call us up. Based on your voice, we will pick if you're rich or not. Write that down, producers. When is your ADHD appointment? Honestly, we need to bring this thing forward. Let's talk to Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.

Hi, Anonymous. We want to know what you've got to ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you pay for it. My wife and I, we had 17 in our bridal party. We paid for it all because it was our day. And if anyone didn't agree with us, then they could piss off. Wait, who paid for it?

We paid for it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No one's going to disagree with you if you're paying for it. I'm going to be very on board. You're like, accept this free outfit or piss off. Also anonymous, 17 in the bridal party. That's a big bridal party.

Can I try and pick the split? She had 10, you had 7. Is that right? I had 9 and she had 8. 8, wow. Mouldy family, you can't get away with more. Oh, yeah. You've got to have them all.

Fair enough. Did that cost you a fortune? Our wedding was about 40K, but we saved for two years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, good on you. That was 15 years ago. Yeah, wow.

Well, I like it, Anonymous, because you're like, nah, it's our day. We're asking you to be a part of it, so we'll pay. Where did you get your suits from? We bought ours at, oh, it was a place here in Christchurch, but I can't remember the name of it.

Yeah, right, okay. Quite nice. Yeah, yeah. Okay, all right, well, well done. So you're hard on this. You pay for everything, right? Sure. Okay, cool, got it.

But my story is actually, I came back for a wedding from England, and it was 2,000 pounds for my flight, six grand New Zealand. Yeah, yeah. And I turned up at the stair ground, and some of the groom's whanau wanted me to buy their drinks, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no. I brought drinks for people who brought me drinks, but I wasn't buying for pre-loapers.

People are so ignorant, aren't they? He pre-loaded on the plane to cover his costs. What about this text? Thanks, anonymous. Someone said, got a $900 bill to go to a mate's wedding to be a part of the bridal party. Charged him nothing for my own wedding. Even got him a suit for my wedding day.

What did he charge them $900 for? I think to be a part, like whatever. To be in the wedding? Not for the stag do? No, I think, yeah, to like for the suit or whatever, you know, goes with it. And he said he pulled out of the wedding. Good on you.

Take a stand. Holly's here. Hi, Holly. Hi, Holly. Hello. What did somebody... We're good. What did someone make you pay for for their wedding?

Well, technically, I've been in a few weddings and I've actually always had to pay for the dresses because I was in the bridal party. So when I got married, I didn't have any bridesmaids, no husband, no bride or son, no hen's do, and we did a destination wedding where we paid for everything apart from accommodation. I love that.

Can I just say, Holly, you know how to get it done right, my friend. Wait, did you pay for all the guests to go to your destination wedding? Well, we actually gave them petrol money because we got married in the COVID time. So you were only allowed 25 people. Oh, yeah. Okay. Interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Where was it you said? Queenstown. Queenstown, yeah. Oh, beautiful. Yeah, lovely. Okay. See, that's how I want it. All the weddings I've been to, I'm like, I'm not putting people through this.

You've done it. Can we just check it on you? Were you annoyed every time you had to pay for your own dress to be a bridesmaid? Because I don't imagine it's a dress you wear every day. No, I guess I wasn't annoyed because they were my friends and my family. But I must admit, I actually have worn the dresses again. Okay, that's good. I just cut them and wore them to town.

Yeah, good. So your friends who got married were kind and didn't put you in the ugliest dress they could find. Finally, Anonymous, who made you pay a lot of money to attend their wedding? Hello? Anonymous, tell us, how much was it? So it was one of my friends that I worked with and I wasn't even part of her bridal party,

but I ended up paying about $1,800 towards her hen's party. What? For what? $1,800? For what? Yeah. For a workmate? So she had two bridesmaids and she wanted to do a slumber party for her hen's night.

Yeah. Neither bridesmaid wanted to host it at their house, so I offered to host it at my house because I was a guest at the wedding, just wasn't part of the bridal party. Yeah. And so we had like a little... Did you order 12 strippers? Like, where's the...

What is going on? We've got to go. So where did the $1,800 go? Well, I made gift bags and stuff for each of the guests, and they actually charged the guests $50 each to attend the party, but I didn't get any of the money back to them. So these other two bridesmaids just skipped off of all the money. Yeah, that's not a good time.

They didn't even put anything towards it. So it was the bridesmaids that were the dirty dogs. Weddings are so complicated. If you're getting married this year, congratulations. What did she put in the gift bags? Airpods? It's time to play Google Down. Yeah, it is.

Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... Here's how the game works in 2023. I'm going to be reading out questions I've put into Google. The team here are going to be competing against each other for who can answer the question the fastest. First to get three right will win,

and you guys need to back the winner. 50 KFC chicken dollars up for grabs. All you have to do is text in the name of who you think is going to win. Is it Clint? Me. Producer Claudia? Hello. Producer Ella? Me. You can text now. Text to 9696. We will only

accept texts before the first question is answered. Got it. Because obviously or else that's unfair. So if you want that KFC, text through now, 9696. No spelling my name with a U either. You're disqualified if you do that. Claudia or Ella.

All right, here we go, guys. Question number one. What is the average shoe size for a woman? Five. 8.5 and a nine. That's right Ella Great God you are so far off

It's ridiculous A five I don't know how women's shoes work A five It's the same as you It is not It's pretty much the same Same but smaller numbers right

It is not Pretty much it's like a size and a half difference Yeah but a woman's nine is not a men's nine Yeah a woman's nine is pretty much like a men's ten and a half. That's what I mean. Yeah, so it's pretty much nearly the same. I don't know. So you wear a size, what, 12?

Yeah. So you think, like, Claudia, Ella and I are wearing a five? Yeah. Okay. Well, I thought you were more of an eight. I'll take that. I'm a ten. I've got a big foot.

All right. Producer Ella is on one. Question number two. What year did they release the video game Fortnite? What year? 2017. That's right, Claudia. Just before Clint there, you get a point.

Nice work. Question number three. What was the name of the city Ed Sheeran was born in? Halifax. That is correct. Claudia in West Yorkshire. That's where

Ed Sheeran was born in the country at the moment. It's so frustrating because I see it and I can't get the word from the moment. Shout out. It's so frustrating because I see it. I know. And I can't get the word from the screen into my brain and out my mouth fast enough. That's the hard part. Yeah. Because there is also the risk if you say the wrong answer, you're out of that question.

I wouldn't mind being out. I'd just like to answer something. All right. Well, you got another chance here. Here we go. Two to Claude, one to Ella, zero to Clint at the moment. Question number four. How many mammal species live in the Amazon rainforest?

How many mammals? 427. That was Clint. Nice work. There you go. Well done, Clint. See, he's got to manifest it. Damn, that's a lot of mammals.

That is a lot of mammals. That's species, not individual mammals. Yeah. Yeah. All right, one to Clint. And we learnt from Noah's Ark there's at least two of each. That's species, not individual mammals. Yeah. Yeah. All right, one to Clint. And we learnt from Noah's Ark. There's at least two of each. Two to Claude.

Yeah, that's where I get all my scientific information from. The story. Ye olde testament. The story of Noah's Ark. All right, one to Ella, two to Claude, one to Clint. Question number five. Who wrote the song S&M by Rihanna? Who wrote the song?

Sandy V. Esther Dean. That is correct. And Claudia, that means you have taken out the game. Wow. But good game. Everyone was involved there. Oh, Ella got so many votes.

Did she? What the? Maybe they're getting you and her mixed up. Probably. I think so. Yeah, it must be her. I do that all the time. Yeah,'re getting you and her mixed up. Probably. I think so. Yeah, it must be it. I do that all the time.

Yeah, me too. We will pick out a text. We will call you back. You have picked up 50 KFC chicken dollars if you backed producer Claudia. Bree and Clint. Right now, maybe some helpful information for you going into, you know, the workplace. New year. Fresh start. New year, fresh start. Maybe you're starting a new job and you can implement some of these things.

Because a woman by the name of Valerie who has worked in the HR department for over 10 years has posted online some advice to employees with some of the things that you should never do at work. Before you give them out, are these really obvious? No, I don't think so. Right. It's not like, don't steal a stapler from the stationary cupboard. But we laugh, but there are a lot of really obvious things

that people don't do in the workplace or do that they shouldn't do these days. Yeah. Well, maybe some of them. I'm not naming anybody in particular, but remember that person who got sanctioned for wearing track pants to work too much? That's right. Don't name any names. Track pants and jandals.

They're like, hey, you're doing a great job. Just need you to bring the vibe up a little bit, just in the clothing department. Maybe wash the tracksuit pants is a good idea. Especially the grey ones. No, not obvious things like that. Let's take a listen. Here's the first thing that Valerie from HR says you shouldn't do

at work. Number one, do not be too personal. Sharing too much does not do you any good at any point in your career, especially when you know that you're trying to move up. You're trying to establish yourself as a reputable person within a company do not overshare it will only come back to haunt you well we're screwed brie talked about her dog's diarrhea on the show yesterday i don't know what's left to share when you know i basically did a live cross from my vasectomy so there's not much left i think she's talking about like – Maybe we've reached the end of our runway. I think she's talking about like within the office,

don't become super, super close with all your colleagues. Leave your baggage at the door. You're getting paid to do a job. Be a cold robot. Exactly. Don't even talk to people. Don't even look at them. Or another way to look at it, be mysterious.

People are like, who is she? Is she stealing from the company? Is she not? and talk to people. Don't even look at them. Or another way to look at it, be mysterious. Yeah. People are like, who is she? Is she stealing from the company? Who is she? Is she not? Okay, that's number one. How many cats does she have? That's number one.

Here's the second one. Number two, you will never catch me being humble ever again. I used to think being humble was going to get me far. People would appreciate me and say, oh, she's nice. So many successful women I work with are far from humble and will literally make sure that they enter a room and their presence is felt that's so american that is so american and it i feel like over there it's like a normal thing but in new zealand it Zealand it's a bit harder. Nah, I kind of get what she's saying. Pretty much what she's

saying is, obviously, in New Zealand it is a bit different. Don't like big note yourself. In New Zealand you're like, hey, I hit my target this week at work. And they're like, oh, okay, bro. Oh, cool. Workaholic loser. Oh, calm down, bro. Bloody big head over there. How'd you

put your head through the door, you bloody big head? No, no, knock you down a few pegs, you tall poppy. You be ugly. Oh, calm down, bro. You've got a bloody big head over there. How did you put your head through the door, you bloody big head? No, I knocked you down a few pegs, you tall poppy. You'd be ugly. Oh, so good. Oh, you're so good at your job. That's cool. You've got a stink car, though. But you know what she's saying.

I do. I do. I do. I do. And that's what LinkedIn's for. Yes, absolutely. This is advice from someone who's worked in HR for 10 years on what you should never do at work.

Yes. And here's the last one, which I feel like is quite an easy one to do. Take a listen. And number three, you will not catch me at company functions like happy hours, holiday parties for longer than an hour and a half. The truth is people start drinking, stuff starts happening, and I do not want to be associated. I mean, she's not wrong.

Yeah, yeah. I saw the pictures of Brie after I left the last ZM Christmas party. Wait, I left before you. No, not that one, the one before. Oh. Yeah, yeah. I didn't even get in the pool at that one. Excuse me very much.

It kind of, all that advice there kind of sucks the fun out of work. Don't have friends. She's right from a professional point of view. Yeah. But she has sucked the fun out of the workplace. Yeah, don't have friends at work. Talk about yourself and big note yourself. Yeah.

And don't go to any of the parties after it gets fun. Tell you what, if you do the second and third thing, you won't have to worry about friends at work because no one will want to hang out with you. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. Alright, here we go. Your Birthday Bangers. You call us up and tell us your birthday and we figure out what was the number one song on your 16th and then stick around for everyone else because we'll play one of those songs in full.

Hey, Christelle, what's your birthday, mate? The 10th of April, 1993. All right, that means you were 16 in 2009. And on that day, this would have been number one. Oh, Krista, it's a banger. The best Taylor Swift song of all time? I know my dad likes it. Are you not a fan of the old Swifties?

Well, not that one. Okay, fair enough. A more reputation era. It was a banger back then. Okay, fair enough. Okay. A more reputation error. Yeah, yeah. It was a banger back then. Okay, okay. Chris has an age, well. Let's do one for Rebecca. G'day, Rebecca.

G'day, Bec. Hey. How's your week going, mate? Oh, not bad for a Wednesday, you know? Yeah, not bad for the old hump day, Bec. Yeah. Get over that hump. It's a downward slide from here.

Gotta love a dry hump day. Yeah. All right, Bec, what's your birthday? It's not raining is what I mean. Yeah. 13th of March, 92. All right, that means you were 16 in 2008. And on your birthday in 2008, this was number one.

Jordan Sparks, No Air, Beck. It's a bit of a sing song, you know? Chris Brown as well. That was huge, that song. I see Chris Brown and Rebecca goes, ooh. Ooh. Ooh. He went to his concert probably when I was 16.

Did you? Okay. Did you? Well, there you go. That fits the bill. He was very popular back then. We'll do one more birthday banger for Max.

Hi, Max. G'day, Max. Hi. How are you going? Good. Whereabouts in the country are you? I'm just driving on Auckland.

In the car in Auckland. Oh, yeah, nice, Max. All right, well, let's figure out your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 20th of March, 2000. All right, that means you're 16. Pretty easy math here. 2016.

And, Max, here's your birthday banger. So we'll piss off the neighbours In the place that feels the tears The place you lose your fears, yeah Zayn, Malik from One Direction and Pillow Talk. I love that song. What do you reckon, Max? Is that a good birthday banger? Yeah, I think it is.

I like it. That was a good song from Zayn Malik. You've always liked that. Definitely has. Brie puts her sexy face on when that comes, where her lips kind of go in. It was like, yeah, I like this song.

Bit of pillow talk. Wait there, Max. We're going to figure out the winner. I think it's the Taylor Swift song for me. I like Love Story. Yes. Krista, Love Story, even though she didn't like it.

Let's just say it's for your dad, Krista. Yeah. My dad is a good person. Well, that's good. And it is a nice song in itself. I just don't like it. For Krista's dad. The winner of Birthday Banger, Brian Clements.

When I first saw you, I closed my eyes And the flashback starts, I'm standing there On a balcony in summer air Bree and Clint This story has rocked the internet today You might have heard Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Talking about it this morning It's the woman who said for two years

She went on six dates a week With different men every day All so she didn't have to buy groceries. She must have the best chat to be able to organise a date six nights a week for that long. Do you mean in the lead up to the date? Yeah. Right.

You reckon that's hard for a woman to do? I feel like if a woman just said, hey, I want to go on a date. It's been a while since I've dated. I feel like men would just jump at it. They'd go, yeah, I want to go on a date it's been a while since i've dated i feel like men would just jump at it they'd go yeah i want to go on day two yes please it's a lot of admin she'd need like a personal assistant to organize her bloody calendar it would be hard to keep tabs of names yeah who's who's tonight jacob john mark luke um she ate for free for six nights a week on those dates her Her name's Vivian Tu. She says, between 2016 and 2018, I did not buy groceries once.

I saved around $150 a week. That's, I mean, I feel like this would enrage a lot of people. We'll debate the ethics of it in a second. Here's the details. She moved to New York City. Jeez, expensive place to live. Very expensive. And she quickly found that, that oh i can go and have a fun tapas restaurant dinner probably for free or i can spend my own money on food at the grocery store that i will still need to cook and it's

probably not going to taste as good what would you do yeah i mean i get what she's saying she says even though she was earning 9595,000 a year. That's a good salary. It's enough to buy your groceries. But not in New York City. Yeah, true. Rent is very expensive. She said her living expenses were very high because it was New York.

She lived in the Hell's Kitchen area. So she went on dates. You'd have to date a different person every night because surely the guy's only paying for the first date or the first couple of dates. And then he's like, hey, you're going to take me on a date? I'd feel so guilty. Like I'm not a you pay on the first date type of person. I'm like a, I think whoever invites the person on the date

pays for the first date. That's a nice way to look at it. Yeah, so it just depends who invites who. Or it's 50-50 down the middle. This might sound old school, but if I'm going on a date, I'm paying, like regardless of the situation. What, all the dates? I think that's just old school.

All the dates. Chivalrous. No, first at least. Second. Yeah, until it becomes weird Third Yeah Fourth

Yeah I think so Fifth When do you stop though? Um I don't know How long do we have to keep going on these dates? A while if you want to have a relationship Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I just think there is nothing less romantic than splitting the bill on a first date I think it's 2023 Split the bill down the middle Nah that's a job interview. I just think somebody needs to stump up and go, I'm going to get this. Someone needs to grab the reins. First date.

And it might be old school to say that in a male-female date, it should be the man. I think it should be. I definitely think it should be the man in that situation. I don't need no man to pay for my date. I don't need no man to pay for my food. Who paid on your first date with your current partner? Do you remember?

You? Me, because I did the inviting. You did the... So I paid. And you picked the venue? Yes. Yeah.

The second date, I didn't pay. She did? Yeah, it just goes back and forth. Yeah, that's a good way to look at it. Yeah.

Do you... A relationship is a partnership to me. No one should be taking the full burden. No. But don't go 50-50 on the first date. Not on the first. But after, I think after the first date,

it's okay. This woman, back to her, the six nights a week dating, that's so much admin just to have free dinner. Like you have to sit through two hours of conversation.

You have to make small talk with these people. It's not worth it it'd be exciting for a little bit but then after a while you'd be like just good to see if you could get six dates but i can buy my own subway sandwich yeah i that sounds like an actual nightmare to me like imagine you're so right it is not worth all of the awkward chit chat. I want to know why she stopped. She stopped in 2018. Probably the pandemic.

It really hurt her business model. I had hopes that maybe she fell in love but actually the whole city got shut down. Probably the pandemic. Can you imagine? She would see people like dudes out on the street all the time. She'd be like, dated him, dated him, dated him. That him, dated him.

That's my Friday night. That's my day. Hey, I bought you dinner and you never text me back. You're like, what's your name? Sorry, I'm moving on to the next. Oh, Big Mac Combo Guy. Good to see you. Bree and Clint.
