Hey, it's Free Chicken Tuesday, I've just decided. So if you'd like some free KFC and you don't currently follow the Brie and Clint Instagram page, you can do that today. Someone who follows the Brie and Clint Instagram page today is going to score themselves 50 KFC chicken dollars. That is buckets of chicken.

That's what you were saying the other day. What are you up to? Are we going to play Tradiverse Lady? Oh! Have we not done that yet? I was like, uh-oh, she's in break mode. I can tell. Have we not?

No, we haven't done shady versus lady. No, I'd rather talk about this. We can skip it if you want. Are you a groomsman at that, Woody? It's shady versus lady. Three, two, one, let's go. Maybe I should think about taking that ADHD medication. Oh, nah.

I'm fine, eh? Where's the Oh, nah. I'm fine, eh? Where's the fun in that? I'm fine, eh? Where's the fun in that? Yeah, I agree. We'll just do a quick trade-in verse, lady. You hold that thought, and then we'll be back to that conversation. I'm really interested.

Our lady is from Rotorua. She's 35, and she owns a holiday park. That sounds like so much fun. Welcome to the show, Kelsey. G'day, Kelsey. You want to give your holiday park a shout out? I sure do. Blue Lake Top Ten Holiday Park.

I was going to ask if it's Blue Lake Top Ten. That one is awesome. It's directly across the road from the lake where we had Float Bree. Oh, yeah, that's a good spot. Yeah, we're very, very lucky. Do you have a slide? We don't. Do you still have the kayaks that people can take out on the Blue Lake?

Oh, why are you highlighting the things we don't have? No, we don't have that anymore. We can't highlight the things you do have, Kelsey. You've got a big inflatable bag you can jump on, don't you? We do have one of those. Oh, I do love jumping on the bag. Yeah, my friend Jordan was just there. I don't know what Bree said.

I love bouncing off the bag into the water. Toe poor. Another Great Lake area. He's 54 and he owns 10 bikes. Welcome to the show, Glenn. G'day, Glenn. Hi. Bicycles?

Motorbikes? What type of bikes are we talking? We've got mountain bikes. We've got road bikes. We've got too many to ride. What is your rarest bike, Glenn? I would have to say it is my giant mountain bike. Your giant mountain bike.

Yeah. Yeah, love it. It's seen a lot of work and a lot of jumps and a lot of trails. Nice. He's a bike man. How many bikes you got at the Blue Lake Top Ten, Kelsey? No bikes. Oh, I'm so at the Blue Lake Top 10, Kelsey? No bikes. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, guys. I was trying to give it some gas. Don't worry, Kelsey. This isn't live. We can cut all this out and then we'll come back and we'll put in all the stuff. It's still a great place to go, guys. It's still a great place to go. Kelsey, Lady, Glyn, Trady, let's get on with the game.

Kelsey, does the park have beds? It's called beds. Yay! God, sounds like a great place to stay. All right, guys, here we go. Question number one. What is the name of Sabrina the Teenage Witch's cat? That black talking cat

from the TV show. Darts with an S. It's where they held the witch trials. Salem is what we were after. Are you kicking yourself, Kelsey? Yeah, I am. I feel like that was

in your pocket. That seems really obvious. Yeah. Alright, question number two. No points there. Which New Zealand singer collaborated with Gautier on the hit song Somebody That I Used To Know? Lady.

Yes, Kelsey. Was it Kimber? It sure bloody was. And it's back in our playlist because it's been... The Dochi version. ...used in that new Dochi song. All right, one to the ladies. Question number three.

Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Glenn. Sabrina Carpenter. Well done. That was quite incredible. I love it. One to the tradies, one to the ladies. We've got a game.

Question number four. How many national anthems does New Zealand have? Lady. Yes, Kelsey. One. No. No. Okay.

Glenn. Three. Also no, it's two. What are our two national anthems? Well, obviously the English version and the Te Reo version. Oh, but it's the same anthem. It's the same anthem. I think they counted as two.

No, I want to give that to Kelsey. How many? That's one anthem in two different languages. Correct. As New Zealand have. Let me check. Yeah, okay. Two official national anthems of equal status.

We've got to go with the rules. Sorry, Kelsey, I tried for you. Sorry, guys. I'm just going off what the internet says. Here we go. Question number four. No, question number five, sorry. Excluding The Hobbit, how many Lord of the Rings films are there? Lady.

Yes, Kelsey. Three. Well done. Nice. She's back on the board. Two to the ladies and one to the tradies. Here we go. Question number six.

Where in New Zealand would you find a beehive that no bees live in? Lady. Kelsey for the win. Wellington. Wellington. She's got it. Well done. She's a lady. Well done.

She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. Unbelievable stuff. That is a hotly contested game. Glenn, you held your head high, mate. You did a bloody good job. Fantastic job. From the Blue Lake Top 10, you're our Tradie vs. Lady champion. Thank you so much.

And you got a great ad for your business, all whilst playing Tradie vs Lady, Kelsey. Glenn, you should take your giant mountain bike to the Blue Lake Top Ten and ride around the lake. Please do, Glenn. See you, Kelsey. Well done. Well played.

Oh, bless. Lovely. ZDM's Bree and Clint podcast. It is time to play tradie versus lady. Oh, wait, no, we already did that, didn't we? I was asking you before because you were saying the other day you just went to a Bucks night. Yeah.

Which is like the last. Hoorah. Hoorah, like the last Bucks of your friends, kind of. Could be is what I thought. Could be. There can't be many left. Are you a part of the groomsmen, the bridal party? No.

For that wedding? Not for this wedding, no. Not for that one? Yeah. You're having a night off? Well, no, just not part of the type five, you know? Yeah. Is that what it is?

Is there five groomsmen? No, but usually guys will have a type five and you select from your type five. Oh, I just thought that was what you saw at a comedy club. Oh, a type five minute set? Yeah, type five. No, your type five is your core group just thought that was what you saw at a comedy club. Oh, a type five minute set. Yeah, type five. No, your type five is your core group of five friends, isn't it? I don't even have five type friends. You told us the other day that you have multiple best friends.

Yeah, like three. Right. Well, you've got a type three then. Type three. Extra tight. Super tight. Are they the ones you would choose when you got married? Would they be your grooms, brides, people?

I don't know if I would have groomsmen or bridesmaids. Right, okay. I don't think I want that at my wedding if I ever got married. Well, that's why you don't have five friends then. No, I just think it's, I mean, it's easier. You're a lone wolf. It's easier. Yeah.

I don't know. I'm not very traditionalist maybe. And maybe this is a story that will push me further in that direction. Sure. There's a fight that's broken out between a bride and one of her best mates when she is informed, one of her best mates, that she will not be a part of the bridal party. Yeah. Because the bride explained that she is only having family members. Oh, okay.

As a part of the bridal party. Yeah. Now, wait for the details because I was like, okay, well, if she's got two sisters, then you can't really be angry. But it's not two sisters. It's her sister-in-law that she's known for a couple of years. Yeah. Her sister. Yeah. And her cousin. Oh, okay. Cousin got called up over the best friend.

Sounds like she was looking for an excuse. Yeah, maybe, eh? Yeah. See, I would be upset at that. Sometimes people do that so that you can, like the best friend is a sacrificial lamb because you don't want to have other friends in there. Like I went the other way

because I didn't want to have one of my brothers because I don't like him. And it's nothing weird to just... But so you went friends. Just can't stand the bloke. Yeah, but I do like my other brother. Yeah, right. So I had to say to my brother, hey.

But it makes it weird if you have one brother and not the other. Yeah, that's why I said to him, hey, I would have you. But if I ask you, then the other one will get weird. I should have just asked him in hindsight, but I didn't. And I bet your other brother was fine with that. Which one? Oh, the one that I like. Yeah, the one that you said, hey, I would want you but you get it.

Yeah. Right? And he was. He was like, don't worry, bro, I get it. How many groomsmen did you have? He said, don't worry, bro, I get it. I won't be asking you either. Hey, keeps it simple.

I had two. It's great. I had two. Yeah, I think that's nice. Two's a good amount. I thought we could ask because I feel like it always, I don't envy people that have been in that situation. Like when you're picking.

You have to cut people. Which is probably why I'm just like, I just would have no one. Nah, you've got to think of yourself on your day. You've got to go, what do I want? Like I said, that's what I wish I had done. I wish I had asked my brother that I wanted there because I wanted to. I wish I hadn't tried to put other people into the mix and just thought about what I want on my wedding day. But life's not that simple. It is on your wedding day. Yeah, right. I wish I hadn't tried to put other people into the mix and just thought about what I want on my wedding day.

But life's not that simple. It is on your wedding day. Yeah. Yeah, that's the one day. I feel like it just makes it easier where it's no one. Yeah, yeah. You know, and you can still have friends involved in the wedding. Like you could have someone as the friend as a celebrant.

And an emcee. And an emcee and a DJ. Yeah. By the way, can you do mine for free? Anyway, I thought we could ask this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM, did you get shafted when it came to the bridal party? And you thought

that you were going to be a groomsman or a bridesmaid? You should have been in there. You felt like you should have been in there and for some reason they shafted you. You know what often happens? You have them in yours and then they don't have been in there and for some reason they shafted you. You know what often happens? You have them in yours and then they don't have you in theirs. That's happened.

I've seen a friend of mine who everyone had her in their weddings and I was like, what are you going to do? Yeah. Oh, yeah, multiple times. You know? Yeah, yeah. And you go, I've got to have nine bridesmaids now because I've been in nine other friends' weddings. Like what is that movie? 24 Dresses. Oh, yeah. You go, I've got to have nine bridesmaids now because I've been in nine other friends' weddings. Like, what is that movie?

24 Dresses. Oh, yeah. 27 Dresses. 27 Dresses. Yeah. 24's the sequel. Dead Ends for Franklin. Did you get shafted

from the bridal party and you really thought you deserved to be in there? Yeah, you thought, I'm a shoo-in for this. Yeah, next minute. Didn't get the call-up. Or you got asked

and then rejected after that. Imagine that. You're in and then you're out. That's worse, isn't it? Grace for this. Yep, next minute. Didn't get the call up. Or you got asked and then rejected after that. Imagine that. You're in and then you're out. That's worse, isn't it? Grace is here. Hi, Grace. Hi, Grace. Hi, how are you?

Good, thanks. Did this happen to you, Grace? Yeah, it definitely happened to me. So I married my husband and had my three sisters. Okay. And my brother. I really wanted my brother and my three sisters. Okay. And my brother. I really wanted my brother and my three sisters as part of our wedding party. Yeah.

And my brother was engaged to his fiancée, who happens to be my husband's sister. So let that sink in. Right. Okay, got it. Okay. Your brother was marrying your husband's sister. Oh, my God. Yeah.

All connected. They weren't married yet, but she was going to be like a double sister-in-law. So she's my sister-in-law, but she's my husband's sister. Oh my God. All connected. They weren't married yet but she was going to be like a double sister-in-law so she's my sister-in-law but she's my husband's sister but also my brother was going to marry her. Oh my God,

yeah, you're right. She's a double sister-in-law. So I decided to have her as well because I just thought, you know, that's really nice blah, blah, blah. And then later down the track,

maybe a year or so later they got engaged and married and she chose my younger sister who's probably about 15 years younger than her and her best friend. And not you. No. You had her and her husband

in your bridal party, but she chose to have your sister instead of you. And I was a double sister in life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Grace, question. If you had your time over, would you do it different?

Nah. Family. Family, eh? Family. Yeah. It was a hard decision because I've got a big family. Did you ever bring it up with her? Did you ever bring it up? No. Just talk. Yes, move on.

You must have had your reasons. Oh, she missed out. Yeah. Fair enough. Thanks for sp No. No, just took it. Yes, move on. You must have had your raisins, so what about... Oh, she missed out. Yeah. Oh, fair enough. Thanks for spilling, Grace. We appreciate it. Quite juicy, eh? Someone texted her and said,

my sister is getting married and I'm not a bridesmaid because I am best friends with her ex-best friend. I'm not even allowed to see her wedding dress. Because your bestie's with her ex-bestie. She's cut you from the wedding. I need answers. How did that even come about? Like, how did you become best friends with her ex-best friend?

And is she your sister's ex-best friend because you're friends with her? Did she get jealous? I need more answers. Anonymous is here. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. Why'd you get the cut from the bridal party, Anonymous?

So I have a twin sister. We're non-identical. Yeah. And she got married and she said I wasn't allowed to be a bridesmaid because of how I look. What do you mean? Is it in terms of you look the same or other reasons? We look very different. Yeah.

And she thinks that I was going to take the line right away from him. Oh, you're the hot twin. Are you the hot twin? Congratulations on being the hot twin. Because that's some solace for you. You go, I understand that I can't be in the bridal party. I am the hot twin. It's the price I have to pay for being so goddamn hot.

It's hot tax, Anonymous. It's hot tax. That seems a bit silly though, doesn't it? And you say to her, don't worry, you'll be in my bridal party because you are the Duff sister and I will look better by comparison. Don't call her twin sister the Duff sister.

That's so mean. I didn't. Anonymous did. Didn't you, Anonymous? Anonymous, did you call your twin sister the Duff sister? Oh, I didn't say anything. Don't. Did you call your twin sister the Duff sister? Oh, I didn't say anything. Your silence is deafening. Actually, you know what?

You're allowed to be salty because your sister shafted you from the bridal party. I'm saying she's not allowed to be salty. She has to take it on the chin. It's hot tax. What you lose in being in the bridal party party you make up for by being so hot. Yeah, to be honest, Anonymous, how good not being in the bridal party if you're that hot? Yeah, yeah. Like you pick being that hot over bloody having to buy your own bridesmaid dress any day, wouldn't you?

Yeah, exactly. I'm stressed with that, so I'm not complaining. Bree talked the other week on this show about something called pretty privilege. I guess this is pretty disadvantage, isn't it? It does exist. But only for the hottest people. It's the pretty handicap. Alright, hey, thanks Anonymous. That's fascinating. We appreciate it.

Yeah. Well, no worries. Very interesting. I wonder how hot she is. Oh, you always want to know. That's the power of radio. Just imagine that she's so hot. We can all just picture it. Like me and Brie. Just imagine. What?

How hot we are. I think people have seen photos. Have they? Yeah, I think that illusion died years ago. And people still tell me I have a face. For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague.

Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Clark would have threatened him. Go and kill him. If you don't, I'm going to kill you and your wife and your son.

ZDM's Brain Inclin. I need to talk to you guys about something because it's something that has been on my mind and it infuriates me. Oh, yeah. An item that is just out there now every day that people are using and I think it needs to be eradicated. The new item?

It's always existed. I think it's more so in the last like five years. Yeah, okay. It's become more popular and not because it's a good product. I think because it's more environmentally friendly. Oh, we're using it because it's environmentally friendly. I think so. And I'm over it.

I love the planet. I love turtles. I do my bit recycling. Got my compost. But this thing needs to go. I know what it's going to be. Needs to bloody get in the bin The recycling bin

Because I Can't stand Wood utensils Oh I thought you were going to go in on the paper straw And I was going to say Can't actually recycle those We all know we hate the paper straws What is this crap?

I hate it. I hate them so much. It gives me splinters in my mouth. Who came up with this? I don't know. I also, I'll go on the record and say I don't enjoy a wooden spoon. You don't like it? No.

Wooden fork? Or wooden knife. Wooden knife? No. It's all crap. I don't enjoy the popsicle. Wooden fork? Or wooden knife. Wooden knife? No. It's all crap. I don't enjoy the popsicle stick and that's what that reminds me of. Any ice cream where I get down to the stick

gives me the gag reflex. But spoon in particular, like I can handle wooden knife and fork to a degree. The issue with the spoon is you have to purse your lips and drag it through your lips and it's that feeling. It doesn't

slide through your lips, does it? It's literally like dragging hot razor blades across the sides of my mouth. A little bit far, but... No! I'm not taking it too far. This needs to go. Producer Claude? It's so funny that you've brought this up today of all days. Why? Because I

never really buy my lunch. I went out, bought my lunch today. I bought a salad. Whenever I go to that place, I specifically use their fork. And for some reason, I'm like, yes, wooden fork time. This is amazing. Like, the only place I get it, I grabbed it and I was like, oh, everyone hates

wooden forks. I grab it on purpose. I, like, for some reason, really enjoy it. And like, I ate my lunch with my wooden fork and I had a great time. Oh, you enjoyed your wooden fork? Yeah. Nah, wooden forks for me, especially for a salad, they can't stab.

They're not sharp. I just feel like I don't get the same experience with a metal fork with just this meal. Everything else they can get in the bin. Oh, no, no, no. No, no. Metal fork above all other forks? Surely.

You're putting wood fork above metal fork? Yeah. Which, for literally nothing else, but for this wood fork above metal fork? Yeah, which for literally nothing else, but for this meal, I'm like, yes, it needs, it's part of the experience is having the wooden fork. There needs to be tests run on you. You need an intervention.

You need professional help. You need to wooden fork off. I will say I don't like anything else though, like wooden chopsticks even. Like, no, I don't like that. No, no, wooden chopsticks are fine. Wooden chopsticks are fine. You don't get the same splintery kind of nerves? Not like this.

No, because you're just placing the thing in your mouth. Not like from these bloody things. A wooden fork and a wooden spoon have to be dragged through your mouth. Well, what about like an ice cream with a wooden spoon? Like in a cup? No. No? No, just it all needs to go in the bin.

I kind of like it. It all needs to go in the bin. I kind of like it. It all needs to just, we just need to move on from it, create something better than this. Paper. No. How do you think a paper spoon would go if a straw can't even hold up? Okay, if we're giving controversial takes, I don't mind a paper straw. Oh, for the first couple of minutes, they're okay.

Yeah, drink your drink faster. Who am I working with? Drink your drink faster. Honestly. Or just don't use a straw. People who need a straw, unless you are disabled, like you can live without a straw. What am I meant to do when I'm drinking a frozen Coke? What am I meant to drink?

Am I meant to scoop that out with my lips, am I? Wooden spoon, I think. We do love this game because we get to judge. Yeah. Well, right. I don't think there's any judgment involved. No, it's judge. Is there?

Not in that way. Yeah. Not as in we're being judgmental, but we're judging whether your name is a young or an old sounding name. Yeah, correct. And everyone has a name and we're just the ones who are willing to be honest with you about it. Exactly.

And whatever you get rated, whether it's an old name or a young name, neither are bad. No. You know? No. Unless you desperately wanted to have a young or old name. Yeah. But you'll live. You'll move on.

We can come up with a new name for you on the spot if you like. How much do you care about some loser radio host opinions anyway? Exactly. When have you ever cared what we thought? Caller One has called up to play the old or young name game. Hi, Caller One. Hi, Caller One. Hello.

Bree, it's one new 50 KFC chicken dollars. Well done. Let's go, Rachel. Man, Bree, all day, every day. Yes, babes. I've got you. I've got you. We'll get that KFC out to you, mate.

It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. I want to talk about fitness influencer Ashton Hall. Okay. Who is making headlines around the world and being slammed for his extreme morning routine that starts at 4 a.m. Okay. Or just before 4 a.m. actually. Do you want me to take you through what this guy's doing every morning? Yeah, what does morning look like?

Or supposedly doing every morning. Yeah, what does morning look like? Or supposedly doing every morning. So Ashton kicks off his morning just before 4 a.m., wakes up, takes off his mouth tape. Oh, yeah. I got some mouth tape recently. Does it work? Yeah, but it's harder if you've got a moustache. Because it sticks in your moustache.

Yeah. Well, no, you've got to start waxing your moustache every morning. Anyway, carry on. Sorry. They say it's for sleep apnea moustache. Yeah. Well, no, you've got to... It's like you're waxing your moustache every morning. Anyway, carry on. Sorry. They say it's for sleep apnea and snoring and those kind of things. Anyway, then he brushes his teeth before drinking a bottled sparkling water. He then moves on to his early morning workout. So at this stage, it's 4.20 in the morning. After that he journals for several minutes,

followed by watching a motivational video, then dunking his head in a bowl of ice bottled water. Bottled, iced bottled. Iced bottled water. At 6 a.m. he dresses in gym gear and heads off to the gym where he starts on the treadmill. Wait, but he's already done his workout. Yeah, but this is his second workout of the morning.

Oh, okay. Yeah. He then works out from 6 a.m. till 7.30 in the morning before he heads to the pool, swims for about 10 minutes before dipping into a plunge pool. Like an ice bath? Yes. Okay. At 8.20, he goes home, showers, eats a banana before wiping the skin

all over his face. And then at 9 a.m. Wait, wait. Wiping the banana skin on his face? Yes. Okay. At 9 a.m., he dunks his face in ice water again and then sets up his laptop before he eats a smashed avo, scrambled eggs,

and toasts for breakfast at about 9.25. Yeah. Anyway, all up, this is and toast for breakfast at about 9.25. Yeah. Anyway, all up, this is about a five-hour morning routine. Does he have a job? I think he's an influencer. Oh, so no. So he does bits and bobs. Yeah, right.

Yeah. So he just goes and does all this and then documents. I guess that is his job, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Essentially. But he's not having to get it all done so he can be in the office by 8.30 kind of thing. No.

Yeah, yeah. No. I would be asleep by 10 o'clock. I'd be dead asleep. These people who get up at 4 a.m. And there are lots of people who do get up at 4 a.m. They don't show you the other side, which is bed at 8 o'clock. If not earlier.

Yeah. Because you have to. I don't know how you'd survive. Well, 8 o'clock would give you eight hours Yeah. Because you have to. I don't know how you'd survive. Well, 8 o'clock would give you 8 hours of sleep, 8 till 4. But if you're doing two or three workouts a day, you might need more. Yeah.

That's an intense morning routine. No shade. But should we contrast that guy's morning routine with our producer Claude's morning routine? Yeah, I'd love to hear it. Claude, what time does your morning routine begin? Hi, thank you. I actually wake up earlier than I used to,

so my alarm goes off at 7.50. I get out of bed at 8.20, I'd say. So you're not even getting out of bed. And then I putter around and have breakfast, and then at 9 o'clock I walk my dog. Yeah. Shower at 10 and then at 9 o'clock I walk my dog, shower at 10, and then head to work. Jeez, that's nice.

God, that sounds so relaxing. No shade. No shade at all. Sometimes I go to the gym, and that would be at 9.30. 9.30, oh, yeah, okay. Oh, God, how do you fit that all in? I know, it's tight, but someone's got to do it. Yeah, but they're not showing you as the bedtime on the other side of that. True.

What time are you going to bed? Oh, respectable 11.30. And what time are you going to sleep? That's a different question, isn't it. Yeah, but they're not showing you as the bedtime on the other side of that. True. What time are you going to bed? Oh, respectable 11.30. And what time are you going to sleep? That's a different question, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. Depends how many reels I've got to watch. I think balance is somewhere between those two, somewhere between that guy and that girl.

If you're working out more than twice a day, I just don't think we have anything in common. Like, good for you. Like I am amazed at people like that. Yeah, yeah, discipline. But I have none of it. I can't get over rubbing the banana skin on your face. Yeah, apparently it's good for your skin.

I'm stoked if I just exercise once a day. Yeah, that's fine. That should be the goal. I feel proud of myself all day if I exercise myself. Walking the dog or going to the gym or going for a swim or a run or something. No, that's fine. That should be the goal. I feel proud of myself all day if I exercise myself. Walking the dog or going to the gym or going for a swim or a run or something. Yeah, like just do anything, like a little bit of it. Yeah, that includes a walk. Yeah.

Anyway. Some of us have, well, we can't say we've got real jobs. No, not this job. Some of us, not us, have jobs. Play Zed Eames' Bree and Clint. We've all dreamed of having that Hollywood plotline meeting, you know, of your lover, your partner. There's so many great movies that have, like, such intense meetings.

What's the one where Julia Roberts, she goes into the bookstore or something? Notting Hill. Notting Hill. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. She's a movie star, eh? And he just works in a bookstore.

You forgot to mention she's like an A-list movie star. But she's also just a girl. Standing in front of a boy. Asking him to love her. Such a good movie. Fantastic film. Would you believe I've never seen it?

I re-empt. By the way, if you're new to this show, Fantastic film Would you believe I've never seen it? I regret By the way, if you're new to this show The dynamic is, I've never seen movies It infuriates Brie It never gets old It literally never gets old You don't deserve You don't deserve Notting Hill

No Well, that's what I've been telling myself I don't believe I deserve any of these movies Oh, well, don't be I deserve any of these movies. Oh, well, don't be that hard on yourself. It's okay. There's a girl who shared a story about how she met this young gentleman and she thinks there's a lot of similarities between how they met and one of my all-time favourite rom-coms, The Holiday.

Okay. Which if you haven't seen The Holiday, which I'm assuming Clint probably hasn't. You know what, I actually have seen The Holiday. Well there you go. Two or three times. Why wouldn't you just watch Notting Hill instead of watching The Holiday again? I know, well yeah. Anyway

in the movie The Holiday, Cameron Diaz's character who lives in LA switches houses with Kate Winslet. Kate Winslet's character who lives in LA switches houses with Kate Winslet's character in London and then they each meet a person whilst they're staying at kind of like Airbnb and they both fall in love. Anyway, this woman has rented a place, I believe, just outside of London and she has met someone during that stay. Take a listen.

Put your finger down if you were really stressed after experiencing California fires. So you book an Airbnb in England and the host says that her son can give you a ride from the train station. Great. So you arrive and you see this really attractive man and you drive back to the Airbnb. You're laughing and getting along really naturally as if you've known each other for years. He then says that there's not a lot of places nearby that you can eat and he'd be happy to drive you. And so you go to dinner and then he drives you back and you see that his last played song on Spotify is starting over by Chris Stapleton, which is one of your all-time favorite songs. And then he tells you that it was his

number one played song on Spotify. Then at the end of the night you're talking about how weird the day has been and unexpected and then he asks uh you if he can kiss you and you say yes and then the next morning he comes and brings you coffee and breakfast now you're here the following weekend uh not as an airbnb but just going to visit him oh my god is that not the greatest story ever? That. I'm deeply obsessed with it. I don't know if I'm a particularly romantic person, but that was so romantic.

What song did she say? Chris Stapleton. Chris Stapleton, Getting Over You or something? Starting Over. Like that's. Oh, Claudia's got it for us. Oh, she's good, isn't she? This is what they were listening to in the car.

This is a sign. This is the song they, this is their first dance at their wedding. Yep. Starting over. She was starting over. She left the wildfires so she could start over. And she finds him who is going to heal everything. Yep.

You can't write this stuff. It's meant to be. While I love this, God, it sets the bar high for romance, doesn't it? It really does. Because people listening to that, they'll just go, single people, they'll go, is that too much to ask?

And people will not settle for less. Why should I settle for less? I want that exact same meeting. I want. I want Delta Goodrum to play me in the movie. I want what Cameron Diaz had in the holiday. I'll even settle for what Kate Winslet had with Jack Black if I have to. Yeah, I mean, both were good.

I'll take either or. I thought we could ask people this afternoon, for those exact situations, have you had one of those absolute Hollywood meetings? Yeah. What do they call them in the movies? A meet cute. Meet cutes.

Yeah. Do you have a Hollywood-style story of how you and your partner met or got together? And what movie does it parallel? Can you tell us the movie as well? Or doesn't the movie exist yet? Should it be a movie? Because your story will be turned into a

movie. That's how good it is. Okay, can you give it to us? You have to give us the elevator pitch. It's got to be snappy because we want to get through a few of these. But do you have a Hollywood-style romance? Yeah, was the meeting just like out of this world where you're like, I can't believe all these things have aligned and this should be a Hollywood plot line?

Honestly, I don't know if I can handle these next stories. They're pretty good, the ones that are coming in. They're pretty bloody cute. We asked you, do you have a Hollywood-level meet-cute, the way that you and your partner got together? Could it be a movie? It's making me depressed. I don't get this reference, but you might,

because have you seen The Breakup? I have seen The Breakup, yeah. Someone said, my relationship is based on The Breakup. I've been with him since i was 15 i'm 33 now and we're still going what happens in the breakup i'm pretty sure the breakup's the one with jennifer aniston and vince vaughn oh yeah and they are together for a long time and then they break up are they going to go to each other's families for thanksgiving or something no that's that's for holidays and that's with Reese Witherspoon. Ah, but Vince Vaughn.

Vince Vaughn, yeah, yeah, yeah. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. Hello, do you have a Hollywood-level meet-cute in your relationship? Oh, I wouldn't say Hollywood-level,

but, you know, like, it's pretty cute for a New Zealand situation. Yeah, let us know. So my partner and I, we met on one of the online dating platforms and then we had our first date and it was a really cute first date and, like, we had a really insane connection, got along really well. And then after a couple of weeks of messaging back and forth, he just stopped replying after he had gone on holiday.

Right. And, yeah, came, ended up not talking for ages and I was like, oh my gosh, this guy has completely ghosted me. Yeah. Ended up that like a month or so later he ended up walking into the same gym that I go to and we looked at each other and it was kind of like a

spark fire connection across the room and yeah. History of it. Oh my god. Wait, it wasn't awkward because he'd ghosted you? No, well, it turns out that he had lost his phone while he was over in Bali. Oh. Anonymous. Because we had only been messaging through, yeah, only been messaging through our dating app. Yeah.

Yeah, right. So are you together now? Yes, yeah. Wow, so how long have you been together now? Probably seven months, eight months. Nice. Oh, wow, there you go. All right, it worked out for you guys.

Thank you. Have a listen to some of these text message ones that have come in. My granddad was in the British Navy and met my grandmother when they docked in Wellington. They wrote love letters to each other when he went back to the UK. He came back to New Zealand the following year and he jumped ship for her. Wow. Which I pretty sure that means you... He didn't get

back on the ship. You leave the ship. You leave the Navy. Got married and he got sent to jail for some time for jumping ship. Now 86 years old, happily married with three children, six grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and three great, great grandchildren. That might be the cutest text we've ever received. That is bloody adorable.

I said I hope they have a notebook ending. They are each other's first and only loves. That is a movie plot. They could make a movie about that. Yeah. I can't believe he went to jail for your grandma. I love how back in those days, though, they would have been like, he can go to jail for a bit and then let him free.

Put him in jail for a bit and then let him out. So he knows, he learns his lesson and then let him free. Come on, Sarge, the guy's in love. What about this? I'm not currently with him, but I did briefly reconnect with my first love after we ran into each other on top of the Empire State Building. Neither of us lived in New York City and had no idea the other would be there. What?

Your first love? You bumped into your first love on the top of the Empire State Building? I don't know if you know this already, but that's a sign that you should be with that person. What is the movie where they say, if you're still single on this date and I'm still single. My Best Friend's Wedding. Is that it? Yeah.

I'll be on top of the Empire State Building. Oh. When Harry Met Sally? I don't know. I think so. And then it shows the person, they're waiting, they're waiting and they're waiting and then the person. I think it's When Harry it shows the person, they're waiting, they're waiting, and they're waiting, and then the person. I think it's when Harry met Sally.

Yeah, right. What about this text? We met at airport security when both of us got pulled aside due to our luggage. We spoke briefly. At passport control, the staff thought we were travelling together, so they made us present our passports and stuff together. He puts up a u.s diplomatic passport okay we get talking we share a glass of wine my flight gets delayed we share another two

glasses of wine and he walks me to my gate i'm getting paged over the pa at this point he then lifts me up and kisses me so passionately before I board the plane. We ended up together for a while, but sadly distance got the better of us. What? That's like that one where the guy walks in in his Navy uniform and picks the lady up and – He lifts you up? Officer and a gentleman.

At the gate? Yeah. Oh, my God. So many texts coming in. The movie was Sleepless in Seattle. I knew it was one or the other. Yeah. There's one I wanted to read out.

We asked if you have a Hollywood level meet cute. They said, I met my husband when we were working together behind a bar. I farted the loudest rip roarer ever right on his leg and then I disappeared out of sight, leaving him there mortified, yet highly impressed to take the blame. We have been together for 20 years. That's my favourite text out of all of them.

What's that movie called, though? Yeah, what would that movie be called? Barfarter. I don't know if that would be a rom-com. No, it's romance. It's a love story. Yeah. Dark romance.

Dark brown humour. Thanks for your texts, guys. Oh, there's so many more that I wish we could read out. There it is. Franklin. Time for a birthday banger. Franklin. All I want for my Time for a birthday banger. Bray and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.

It's Name in a Haystack! Where we go searching for a random name at a random business and today, if that name answers the phone, they will win $750. But more importantly, we will have created Radio Magic Breath. Some say it can't be done and some weeks we believe them. Well, it hasn't happened. But we press on and we continue the good fight. And we are missing a producer today.

So, Producer Claude, you will be picking the business. Not both? No. You don't want to give me all the duty? No. Because it's not as random then, is it? Yeah. We don't want it to happen today and then you, and by association us, be accused of rigging it.

Either way, it wasn't Craig, so. No, it wasn't Craig. Definitely wasn't anywhere near Craig. We press on. People are so nice when we waste their time on the phone, aren't they? I know. The ZM Podcast Network. Quick rant.

Let me have a quick rant before we go anywhere. I was reading this article today where it's talking about how New Zealand has the most expensive pub beers in the world. And I believe it. I believe it too. But I've never seen it written down like that. where it's talking about how New Zealand has the most expensive pub beers in the world. And I believe it. I believe it too. But I've never seen it written down like that. I've never seen anyone who's actually gone into the data and looked at it. I feel like the only place that would give New Zealand a run for its money is Australia

because they love to drive up the price of alcohol there. I reckon I can go to Aussie. I feel like I go to Aussie and I go to the bar and I'm like, two skewers, copper, and he's like, that'll be 10 bucks, fella. And I'm like, on ya. That's my memory of Australia anyway. Maybe 30 years ago. This article I read said the only place, places where beers in the bars are more expensive

than New Zealand is like Muslim countries where it's like frowned upon to drink and it's all but illegal. and so it's really expensive and that sort of thing. Yeah. But we're not that. There's a bar in Christchurch that got interviewed about their $16 pints in the news today. $16?

And is that across the board, like all different types? Well, they said that they charge $16 for pints because they serve full pints, like British pints, 560ml pints. Okay, right. Where you and I go, the pub we go to, we're paying $14 for a pint. We do, eh? We pay 14 bucks a pint.

But those are US pints. Those are 425 mil pints. So there's pints and then there's pints. So the ones that this bar is selling is bigger than the ones we get. But get this. The bar in Christchurch, which is selling $ bigger than the ones we get. But get this, the bar in Christchurch, which is selling $16 pints, they believe that's the price for

a full-size pint, and they said strap in because pints in New Zealand soon will be $18. For a beer! For a beer at a bar! God, we should just start, you know, reverting back to what we did when we were real young.

You know, we all go buy a 12er from the Bottle-O. Yeah, and we drink it in a car park. And we go down to the car park and sink a few. You joke, but that's why people do it, eh? Yeah. That's why everybody did it when they were young because no one can afford to drink in the bars. And so you're not drinking in a safe and controlled environment. And you're not drinking socially.

You're power chugging at the house so that you're steamed enough to last in the bar without buying a drink, but just sober enough that you can make it past the bouncer. Yeah, you're 100% spot on. It's mental. I know we've got to drink responsibly and maybe an $18 beer is meant to encourage you to drink less,

but it just doesn't seem right. It's like actual gold. Yeah. It feels like you're paying for actual gold at this point. I don't know what the point of the rant is, but if you're a bar and you serve reasonably priced drinks, can you text us how much a pint is in your bar and we will give you a shout out.

Yeah. We will give your business a shout out if you are charging what? Less than? Oh, less than. 12 bucks. 12 and under? 12 and under. You're charging 12 bucks for a pint?

Yeah. We will give your business a shout out. 100%. Yeah. Okay, good. That's good. That's good news to the radio. There was a point.

There was a point to the pint. I think this is what the radio was invented for. I think so too. It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. I saw this article today which talked about whether you eat too fast or not and it pricked my interest because I eat too fast. That is you. You get burps on the hiccups. I eat like a dog and it's a problem.

You threw up one time here at work because you ate too fast. Okay. You don't need to go into all the details, but yes. This is what we're talking about. I feel like I need one of those lick mats that you get for the dog. My dogs have them. And you like smear their food into it and then they have to lick the mat to slow them down a bit.

You know, you know what you need. You need a slow feeder bowl. I need a slow feeder bowl. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, I read this article today which talked about how long it should take you to eat a meal. How long do you reckon it takes you to eat your dinner? Like if you sit down to a nicely home-cooked dinner, how much time are you spending eating it?

Depends obviously what type of meal it is. Yeah. But I'd say ballpark 15 minutes. Yeah, right. Well, according to this, you're too fast too. And I know that I'm too fast. Yeah, okay. But that sounds reasonable to me.

15 minutes sounds reasonable. 15 minutes or so. I reckon they're saying half an hour. If you regularly polish off your breakfast, lunch or dinner in less than 20 to 30 minutes, you're eating too fast. You want me to spend an hour and a half a day eating my meals. Who? Who has time for that in 2025?

I mean, it's not a bad thing because, I mean, eating is fun. So if you want to just prolong your eating, I always think about this because I'm the type of person, I'll eat my dinner in 15 minutes and then I'll be like, still hungry. Yeah. And then I'll go back and get seconds and I'll scoff that down. And then in like another 15, 20 minutes, I'm like, oh, too full. You've actually got it spot on.

It says here it takes 20 minutes for the stomach to communicate to the brain via hormonal signals that the stomach is full. So when you eat too fast, your brain misses the signals and you eat beyond the point of fullness. Yeah. That's not the problem that I have. I eat the meal that I've got, and then that's it. It's gone. And I'm like, I wish there was more of that, but I just leave it at that.

Should we put a zap collar on him? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what that should be. Zap him if he's eating too fast. My theory is I get too hungry. Like, I leave it too long to eat, and then when the food goes in front of me, I'm like, oh, God, I've got to get this inside me as quick as possible.

You also grew up in a family with multiple siblings. I feel like anyone that grows up in a family with multiple siblings. That was definitely the case at fish and chips night. You have to scoff your food. Because we would put the fish and chips down on the lounge floor and we would all sit around the paper and put our tomato sauce and stuff on the paper and have a corner of that. And you're right.

It's like feeding time at the zoo. You eat fast or you miss out. Yeah. People who eat quickly are likely to swallow too much air, which leads to bloating and indigestion. Not chewing your food properly also compromises your digestion, meaning that you don't get all the nutrients out of the food because you haven't mushed it up enough in your mouth first.

This might sound stupid. I'm learning this stuff right now. Untuned pieces of food get stuck in your esophagus. Who would have thought that we'd be here learning how to eat food properly? I know. You know? And studies show that people who eat quickly have the highest risk of being obese, while the slowest eaters were likely to be the least obese.

Nothing more punishing than a slow eater, though. Yeah, there's definitely a line. Oh, like especially if you go out to a restaurant and there's old slow poke across the table. Yeah. And you're waiting there and everyone's like waiting for this person to finish so you can go. They're like, what? I like to enjoy my meal. Yeah, it's not my fault that you all scoff your food.

And I'm in the corner like, I finished 15 minutes ago. I've got indigestion. And then I'm like, we've been here for four and a half hours. Let's go, mum. Anyway, slow down tonight, everybody. Brianne Clint. Play ZM's Brianne Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok. And live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
