Rhythm and Alps. Rhythm and Alps. Absolutely, you should go. What's your other option? Sit at home and do nothing. There was another festival on Waikiki Island that a few friends of mine are going to, which sounded pretty good. But then R&A sounds pretty.

Well, you're not going to get to party in the Cadrona Valley. You can party on Waikiki any weekend. Like, actually going to R&A makes it an actual event for the year, whereas like... Yeah, plus the line-out that they've got. It's like, you know, one-nine. It's like, eh. Whitehiki can be awesome, but that Rhythm and Alps line-up and location. I'm looking at last-minute flights.

Yeah, that's your problem. That's my only issue. You haven't put in the Mahi early. But you know me. I'm not a big New Year's person. Yeah, but you were. for Zidium, I'm sure we can get you free tickets to the concert at least. Just pay for the flights.

The tickets I'm not worried about, they're reasonable, they're good. The flights where I'm like, oh. Well, 9-6-96, do you guys think, make Bree's decision for her? Yes or no. Is she going to Rhythm and Alps? Are you going to Rhythm and Alps? Convince me I should come as well. Yeah.

Like, what are you most excited for? And should she get a tattoo while she's there? Whatever you guys decide is legally binding, she will do. No, no, no. Well, it depends. If someone wants to pay for my flights, I'll get a tattoo. That's not a bad deal. I'll get a tattoo of rhythm and some Alps.

For my five flights. Get a tattoo of rhythm on your Alps. For flights to rhythm and Alps. Yeah, music notes. Fun show on the way today. After 5 o'clock, if you're sticking around that long, we're going to search for the 50th time. We will go searching for a name in a haystack.

If you've never heard that, it's a crazy. challenge that we've set ourselves where we call a random business with a name in mind and if the person with that name answers the phone they win and it goes up every week and we're at two and a half thousand dollars cash today it's incredibly unlikely hence why we're up to game 50 with no luck no luck we've come close once um but could we do it today lucky number 50 that's ages away though that's at 530 let's get into tradie versus lady right now where the ladies are inching back into it. They're at 95 and the tradies are at 97. We had a really good lady win yesterday. So do they have the momentum this week to go in front?

They're really quite convincing, aren't they? Like this text here, it says yes to Rhythm and Alps. Brie, I am also an old woman. I'm 35 years old. Come on. If I can commit, you can. Make sure Zidim pays for a VIP upgrade too.

See? I like what that person's about. At 35, you're in the window of people who require the VIP upgrade. Because you need somewhere to sit down. 100% I do. I'm not going unless I know there's a seat for me. You need easy access to a clean toilet. Yep.

I really like this text as well. brie you need to go i work there behind the bar three or four years ago was honestly the best time ever you won't get this chance again it's a special year you'll make the money back but you won't get this chance oh my god oh my god see that's so convincing enough and i know bray she cannot resist peer pressure so on the worst if you want to see her at rhythm and alps if you're going especially nine six nine six keep them coming in spend brie's money it's treaty versus

Guys it's time to open up a haters in the building A chance for us to vent something You feeling hateful I'm feeling just a tiny little bit It's okay I know for a fact once I get this off my chest It's the only hate I have in my heart right now And that's what the speecher exists for

You know As a little pressure release a little psh, the psh, let the psh, let the hate out. Once I let this go, I'm good to go for the holidays, I think. Oh, yeah, you're going to clear the lines early. Yeah, yeah. You know, flush the lines out. Just don't go anywhere near a mall.

Otherwise, it'll build back up. That is true. It'll just build back up. So, what do I have a problem with? This morning, I went to a cafe. Great, good time. New cafe, haven't been there before. Even better.

Love going to try new things. Went with my partner. We sit down and I go, I'm not ravenous, but I'm a little bit pickish. Okay. And on the menu, I've looked at the menu. There's the full meals. They all look great.

But I was like, I just don't feel like I'm going to eat a whole meal. Right. And then I see it. The holy grail down in the bottom right hand corner of the menu, kids menu. And I think, you know what? That would be perfect for me. Treat myself.

That would be lovely little kids meal. I have the episode of a child. You know? A couple of eggs. A bit of bread to dip in my eggs. Perfect. Anyway, they come over. I say, oh, I'd like the kids, blah, blah, blah.

Sorry, you have to be 12 and under order from the kids menu. And I'm not having it. Why? as a fully grown adult, can I not order from the kids' menu? I don't want to be wasteful. I don't want to order a whole meal. I know I'm not going to eat it.

I want the bloody kids thing. Sometimes at a restaurant, I want chicken nuggies. I want the nuggies in the chips. Did you consider telling them that you identify as a 12-year-old? Or I did consider saying that my child was waiting in the car because they'd be naughty.

Did you tell them that you have the reading age of a 12-year-old? If it got me the kid's meal, I would have said that. Right? I just think we need to move on. I agree with you. I agree with you. We need to move on. If you've got it on the menu...

Yeah, yeah, it should be available. It should be available. No, I agree with you. Why not? Yeah, and I've been using those kids of mine to get away with bloody murder menu for years. Why should that be a privilege that's only afforded to me? And now, I'm thinking maybe I just need to have a kid so I can order from the kids menu.

That's the right motivation, actually. And that is the right reason to have a kid. Feel better? Yeah. I do feel better. Wonderful. I have one. Yes.

And it was a shocking realisation that I made. What do I enjoy having in the studio in the afternoon that I often share with you in here? And I'll bring in a little cup. No, not that. Little cup of... Little cup of... Sometimes I'll give you some...

On nuts. Mixed nuts. Yes. Today I googled. I don't know why I googled this. Oh no. But I googled how many calories in half a cup of nuts? What do you mean?

607 calories in half a cup of mixed nuts. I thought nuts were healthy. 607 calories for half a cup of nuts. It's good fats, though. It's nut fats. It's not the fats. Yeah, it's the oils. It's nut oils.

600 and half a cup. Look, I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty annoyed at you because you've been fattening me up with those nuts for a year. Here, do you want to share some of my nuts? Yeah, do you want 15 calories per? nut. Claudia, are you feeling particularly hateful?

Well, I'm feeling outraged now that you've said that. Isn't that nothing outrageous? That's crazy. Yeah. The thing that's really getting me at the moment is there's so outside my house, right? Put yourself on the street.

You're outside my house. There's road parking right out the front. Street parking. Street parking. Got it. There is enough space for exactly two cars. Okay. And what everyone does is they place themselves in the middle.

Oh, I hate this. room for one car and so I get home I'm like oh great there's only one car at the front nope there's room for half a car at the front and half a car at the back you drive a Suzuki Swift though why don't you just drive it a nose first I could actually oh that would that would enrage me as well Ella you feeling hateful oh I am gone and it's directed at you three okay oh what what have we done I understand that I'm born in the 2000s I understand that you guys get upset when I don't know a certain song, movie, reference, that's quite old. But I wasn't born.

We don't get upset. We're just embarrassed to know, to be associated with you. Well, yeah, and I understand it. That's fine when it's like iconic cultural celebrities. Yeah. But what my haters in the building is today is when, it's more of like a niche artist. Who's the artist? I don't know, but it's a niche.

Who's the artist? Name one. A niche movie and you go, you haven't heard of this person? No, I was born in the 2000s. I wouldn't call Janet Jackson a niche artist. I can admit there's good things to learn. Guys, did you guys know that she was Michael Jackson's sister? What?

That's not what I'm saying. It's wild. I'm talking about Nisha stuff, okay? If you would like to get something off your chest this afternoon, the haters in the building line is open and available to you. To use for free. But you do need to do it now because then we close it up

and go back to being positive. Okay, no more complaining after this. Bring on the negativity. Dead is Brinclint. Haters in the building. Kater's in the building. Bree's vented about not being able to eat from the kids menu at a cafe.

Claudia has vented about somebody parking in double parking spaces and taking them both. And I vented about how many calories there are in half a cup of nuts to which someone has just texted in and said, now I'm annoyed. Thanks, Clint.

Last night alone, I ate a whole 500 gram bag of salted peanuts. I've just Googled. Do you know how many calories there are in 500 grams of salted peanuts? Yeah, it's good fat. 2,800 calories. That's more than the entire caloric intake for an adult man for a full day. One bag of peanuts. Well, I guess it's half a kilo of peanuts.

That's a lot of peanuts. It is a lot of peanuts, actually, yeah. It is a hell of a lot. Jade's here. Hi, Jade. Hi, Jade. Hi. You feeling hateful? Yeah, no, I am actually.

Yeah, go on, Jade. What are you angry about? Okay, so I'm like, I'm going to do one grocery shop, and that's it for the week. I know the smelling. So I'm going to go in the grocery shop, and I'm like, okay, I'm going to have some chicken for dinner. I go to get some chicken breasts. There's none. Absolutely none.

I have a chicken breast with the skin on it, and no one wants that. Who's buying that? No one. Well, I don't know It's just a waste of money You take the skin off And you got less sick in I agree

And now I'm like Okay, I'll go get some cream There's no cream There is no cream Only the big bottles of cream I don't need a big bottle of cream I don't need a big bottle of cream And then I'm like

There's no chicken drumsticks either And I want to do a chicken drumstick dinner Like what is this What is going on here? And so then I'm like Okay, surely there's cheese Yeah No, there's only the small

No cheese Jade, Jade. No, no, let it finish. Okay, sorry. Go on, Jade. Keep going. Yes. No, my partner eats cheese, like no tomorrow, willy-nilly.

And I'm like, come on, man. Do you know how expensive cheese is? Jade, at the start, I was on board with you. I was like, oh, that's so annoying. And then the second one, I was like, oh, man, that's so inconvenient. The third one, I was like, wait a second. And then when the fourth thing you wanted at the supermarket wasn't there, I think you need a new supermarket.

Yeah, I'm for you. I love my countdown though You know Oh no That's your problem I got my card Get my points Yeah get those points

Jade Jasmine's here Hi Jasmine Hi Jasmine Hi You want to vent this afternoon Yeah I was listening to the radio

Of course And this popped up And I remember this It happened a little while ago Obviously But What are you a few In about jazz

I was once charged For hot water at a cafe for my baby's bottle. What? For hot water? $2.00. $2 for hot water. Let me just, I said to check,

that wasn't the only thing that you got at the cafe, was it? Like, were you getting something for yourself? Yeah, me and my husband and my other son got breakfast. And then they charged you an extra $2 for hot water? Yeah, I went back out and asked for it if I could get some hot water for my baby's bottle

and they tried to make $2. Nah. Oh, nah. Jazz, whereabouts in the country was this cafe? Fine a day. Really? No, they're not going to be around much longer with policies like that, Jasmine. Outrageous.

That's not on. Even if they hadn't awarded anything. And Jazz walks in there and says, I need some hot water for my baby's bottle. You give them the hot water. You hook it up. You know? You hook it up.

It's just good business. Haters in the building. I'm a teacher, and people get mad at me for having so many holidays. like, I'm sorry that you chose the wrong profession. I respect that teacher. I like it. So it doesn't mean we're not going to keep complaining about how many holidays you get.

Because we're jealous. We are jealous. Haters in the building. Can I vent about how often you guys play Olivia Dean? No, that's no. Can't do that one, sorry. Someone said, my complaint is that I've been told I need $3,000 worth of dental work done.

Why is it dentistry subsidised by the government. It's 2025 for crying out loud. Oh, ha, ha. That's crazy. Some people calling us stupid for not knowing how many calories were nuts. But Brie kept telling me that it's the good fats. Yeah, good fats.

Every time I have another spoonful of peanut butter, Brie was like, it was a good fats. Yeah, but no, see, peanut butter has got good protein in there, you know, good amount of protein. Anyway, we're feeling better. We all got that out, got it out of our system. I feel great. Feeling good? Mm-hmm. Feeling good?

Feeling good. ZD.M. Branklant. I was reading this article today, which talked about how many crunches you should be able to do based on your age, which I always find interesting. Not one of these bloody fitness tests again. Well, the good news with these ones is the older you get, the easier it gets, you know? Well, yes and no. The young you are, the more you have to worry about. Yeah, but yes and no, because the older you get, the harder it is to do these exercises.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The story's on The Herald. and it breaks it down into decades. So your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, your 50s, your 60s, and if there's anyone listening in their 70s, I've got the numbers for you too.

Great. And we, before the show, have all done max crunches. We've all done the best that we can with our crunches. Against our will. None of us wanted to take part, but we did for science. None of you enjoyed the competitive nature of... I enjoyed it. I just made me do so many fitness challenges on the radio.

Yeah, Claudia has done them all. I've done almost every move you can do. All these breaks are just a ruse to covertly personal train, Claudia. Thanks, I appreciate it. Here's the numbers, okay? If you're in your 20s, 20 to 29. So that's producer Ella. That's producer Ella.

You should be able to do 50 crunches. Okay. If you're in your 30s, 30 to 39, you should be able to do 40 crunches. Okay. If you're in your 40s, 40 to 49, you should be able to do 30 crunches. Okay. 50s, 20 crunches, 60s. Geez, gets easy.

in your 60s, 10 crunches. A piece of cake. And if you're over 70, you should be able to do five crunches. Yeah, nice. Here are the numbers achieved by the Bree and Clint team today. Let's start with our overachiever Bree, who is 35. And at 35 requires 40 crunches. She did 50.

Let's go, baby. Let's go. Well done, Bree. Very good. Thank you guys. We then go to producer Claudia, who is 32. and she also requires 40 crunches. She achieved 31 crunches.

No, of course. Still good. Still good. Come on. Still bloody good. Well, she's nine crunches short, but... Still bloody good. Okay, yeah.

She can easily get nine more. She'll get them. She's got something to work towards, yep. We then go to me, Clint. I am 38. I require 40 crunches. I did exactly 40 crunches. Very good.

Very good. And finally, our spring chicken, Ella. I'll be quiet. 25, right in the prime of life. Physically, peaking. You know, she's right. It's never going to get better. Never going to get better.

It's all downhill from here, Ella. Cool. Trust us, we know. In your 20s, you require 50 crunches. Ella achieved 32 crunches. Hey. She is 18. crunches short.

I did walk up a hill today and I wasn't puffed and I was proud of that. I am getting fitter, okay? 15 of Ella's 32 crunches involved her feet leaving the ground. Twelve of Ella's crunches involved her throwing her arms and her legs.

I'm not a cardio girl. And one of the crunches was made up. It's not cardio. What is it? It's cardio. It's strength. Strength. Yeah. Well, I am a little weakling, but I thought that was pretty good.

Hey. Hey. Not too bad. It's good for you. It's what, how many? 32. 32. It's what a 40-something year old? No, they'd be stoked.

Yeah, yeah. Do you know what it is? I've been eating too many bowel buns. That's what it is. That's what it is. That got me. How good's a bowel bun though? I'm just getting a little round, but that's okay.

You have the crunch strength of a bowel. a 45-year-old. Are you calling me old? No. Never. Hey, you should be stoked. I think we all did well. Some did better than others.

Some whole better. ZADM's Brean Clint podcast. Shows brought you by KFC. The menu's been hacked by the Colonel Hacker. You can get four pieces of cookie dough for just $4.99. The tea. Live from L.A. with Dean McCarthy. Big news for Billy Eilish fans, Dean.

She's partnered with one of the greatest directors of all time for her next film project. She certainly is. She went straight to the top. Okay, so let me tell you this. She is working with James Cameron, as in Titanic, Avatar, probably the biggest director of our time.

I don't know, let's be called, but big director. Here's what he's done, right? They've worked together on what's called the Hit Me Hard and Soft 3D concert movie. She shot it over four nights in Manchester when she was on tour, and it is going to be for theatre release,

cinema release and you'll be able to watch her concert and some behind the scenes part of it all in 3D. Like is that not the most wild? Dean, I'm not sure if you can hear Bree's audible eye roll. Look, I'm on board. I think it's fantastic.

Bree is just very anti-anything 3-D. Can I just remind everyone when they bought out 3D TVs and we all got excited and people who could afford and bought them and they never use them because the technology is awful. It is awful, except for James, like James Cameron got it right.

Avatar, they got 3D right. You'd have to admit, wouldn't you? And how were that, yeah? I never wanted to watch the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp in 3D. That seemed a bit pointless. Avatar is the exception. Yeah, so that's what they've done. So how are they going to make Billy Eilis?

Like, what are they going to make 3D? Like, I can think of a few things. No comment But do you know what I mean? Like avatar makes sense There's things flying through the air And jumping out of you Whereas like Billy Elish is on stage

She's amazing I love Billy Elish I just don't see it Yeah Oh my God Haters in the building part too I'm just saying What everyone else is thinking

Also Why are Billy Elish Isn't that a random story? I think that's Bree's point as well Yeah it's a random thing to make 3D Can we just focus on the fact she's doing a concert film? That's what you're excited about, aren't you Ella? You want to see this tour, you want to see the film of it,

just like Talassook in the Ares tour. And see, I'm excited about that. It doesn't need to be 3D. I think it is this new, like now, this new form of technology. Hopefully 3D is better than what it was in the past. It won't be. I'm hopeful, you idiot. The actual movie, the concert movie will be great.

The 3D will be crap. I'm not listening to you anymore. That's the tea with. D McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent. The ZM Podcast Network. This is one of our favorite topics, actually. Welcome to people whose name matched their jobs round 17. Previous highlights include Bree's lawnmower man.

Doug. Doug the lawn man. He's the lawn guy. Doug the gardener. And Claudia, who the police officer that Claudia met at the James Blunt concert, whose name was... Officer, Officer. Officer.

James Officer. I love it. Who was a police officer. So, yeah, it'd be officer officer, officer. Officer, officer. And Doug the lawn guy. It's very good. Well, I've got a new one.

I've got a big old tree at my house that needs removing. So I called an arborist and I received an email with my booking. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Can we all have a guess? Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah. Because that's quite fun game. What's the name of my arborist? What's the name of the guy coming to cut down my tree?

Was his last name? name Trunk? No, but good guess. Claudia, you got anything? Was his name Cody Woodman? Cody Woodman would be an excellent name for an Arboros, but no, it's not Cody Woodman. Ella? Kyle Leif.

Kyle Leif. Kyle Leif's good. No. Is his first name, Axe? Oh, Axel. Axel. Axel? Yeah.

You'd go by Axe, wouldn't you? Or is it chainsaw? Stole your joke. Sorry. Last name's still. Yeah. No, I received an email with my booking, letting me know that my arborist,

Zach Fell, would be over soon to chop down my tree. That's good. You don't get it? Because trees fall? Yeah. Well, close. The act of chopping down a tree is called felling, a tree. Clever.

And Zach Fell's job. Nice. How's it spelled? Tree felling. F-E-L-L. It's good Very clever It's very good

Well not clever Coincidental isn't it Or is it or is it Or is it? He could have easily changed his name Because back in the day Your last name reflected the job that your family did Like Smith was often a blacksmith Do you not know that Ella

Your last name is Shepard What do you think your family did? Am I a descendant of Shepherds? Yes Am I related to the three wise men? Almost well I don't know about that But almost definitely Wait so I played

I used to play soccer with a girl and her last name was but. Yeah. Yeah. That's a true story. What does she used to do? I know what her family used to do. Butt stuff. Bud stuff, for sure.

What about, um... Oh my gosh. No, don't say that one. So keep that one to yourself. Filter. The mine was a real one. So was mine. Bullshit.

Remember Al who used to work here? Oh, yeah. There we go. I do. Last name, Coburn. Yeah. Spelt C-O-C. B-K-B-U-R-N.

What did his family do? Things that they shouldn't have been. And ouch. There's a cream for that. We want to hear from more people whose name matches their job. Could be you. Could be the job that your dad did.

Or could be like me, somebody that you hired to come around and do a job. And you're like, sorry, your name is what? And when you heard it, it really just tickled your pickle. Yeah. Did you have a plumber? His name was Dwayne Pipe.

So good. You know? That's the sort of thing that we're looking for this afternoon. I mean, that's the double whammy. Oh, that's the Holy Grail. That's the Holy Grail of this game, which is very rare. But we'll take just

one name. But if we get it, Cody, what did you say before? Cody Woodman would be the ultimate. That's a double. Yeah, that's the double whammy. Oh, 800,000. Or text your person whose name matches their job. It's Z.m's Brie and Clint

podcast. We're talking about people whose name matches their job. after, what was his name, was coming to my house? Zach Fell was coming around to my house to cut down a tree. I've had a very intelligent text, and I like these, because it shows that we have smart people that listen to our show from Jono. He said, the term for a job that matches a person's name

is an epitronym, while the theory that people are drawn to professions that match their name is called normative determination. nominative determinism. Like I said, we have smart people that listen to this show of dumb people doing a show. It sounded like it was going to be so intelligent when I read it in my head.

Anyway, we want to know, does your name match your job? Like this text from someone who said, we had a Tyler named Tyler. That's good. It's simple, it's clean. You know, he never will forget what he does. No. And so it makes sense.

And you know what the name for that is, Bree? That's nominative determinism. That was the best one you did. Tyler, the Tyler. That was the best one you did out of all of them. Blaise is here. Gide, Blaze. Hi, Blaze.

Hi. Is it you whose name matches their job, Blaise? Are you a marijuana farmer? Not quite, but I think it does match my job. Oh, are you an arsonist? No, I've had that before. Okay. What do you do, Blaze?

Do I have to give you a hint Or is can I just say it? Oh no, let's keep guessing Okay, yeah, give us a hint Blaise. I thought I had it with marijuana farmer. Blaze, Blaise, Blaise. I deal with all kinds of people. Okay.

Are you a social worker? Not really. Okay. Do you do something with the weather? Are you a meteorologist? No. Do you deal with all kinds of people when your name is Blaze?

She's a firefighter. Oh, are you a firefighter blaze? Oh. Gosh So thought Bree headed Blaise Please reveal to us What you do for a job

I'm a teacher You're a teacher Yes And instead of going by miss or misses I go with fire So fire blaze That's good That was the missing link there

Blaise That's the bit that we were meeting Yep Thank you Fireblaze We appreciate your call We've asked the question Does your job match your name I love this one

It says My boss's name is Doug drink water and he's a specialist in drinking waterworks. Drinking waterworks in the water industry. It's like normative determination. Sometimes they're hard to read. Drinking water works. Drinking water.

Yeah, got it. Oh, got it. Yeah. Yeah, got it. Okay. It's been a long year. Sorry, guys. Are we getting dumber?

No, we definitely are. Does your name match your job? here's a text nice and simple. I had a doctor for many years and his name was Dr. Nurse. Very good. Very good. That's a good one.

I like that one. Belinda is here. Hi Belinda. Hi Belinda. Hello. We asked for the double. Yours is a different kind of double. You had two teachers

whose job perfectly matched their names. Three. Three. Okay, we're ready. Go for it. So our sewing teacher was Mrs. Button. Brilliant. A cooking teacher was Mrs. Curry.

Even better. And the meter work teacher was Mr. Steele. No. Shut up, Belinda. No way. Shut up. Wow.

Crazy. Yeah. What's your last name? Um, mine is a name that is to do with boats. Shipman? No. Seaman? No.

It begins with Botey McBoatface. Yes. We've got it. Thank you, Belinda, Boaty McBoatface. We appreciate your call. Someone takes her and said, um, I know someone, their name is Mary Death, and they're a funeral celebrant. I've heard of that one before.

That's brilliant. I've heard of the death family who are in the funeral business. How could you not be? How could you not be? Well, you couldn't be a doctor, could you? It can't be Dr. Death? There have been. My last name is Wood and I am a builder.

See, that's normalitative determination is what that is. You were actually drawn to that job. Either that or porn was your... future career, predestined. This one's great. A florist in my small rural township is called Daisy Gardner. That's the double. That's the double!

That's the double! That's the holy grail in this game. How could you do anything else? With such a delightful name, you'd have to do a beautiful profession like floristry, wouldn't you? You couldn't do anything else. Imagine if Daisy Gardner was a real, like, grumpy. A-hole. Yeah.

Sunniest name ever, and they're a total B-wall. Ross Galt locksmiths has an employee named Rob Keys That's good That's good I mean you can't It's nearly the double too You can't not hire that person Because you need to get a locksmith in when you've been robbed

So you get Rob Keys Or if someone's robbed your keys You need to see Rob Keys It's close to the double My pastor's last name was Cross Yes That's good What about this?

My dad's decking guy is called Declan Very good Oh, this one's not real. Dicklin Wood would be good. But I wish it was real, but I'm not buying it. You tell me. Someone said an arborist called Timber. Timber.

I don't buy it. But it would be great. But I don't buy it. We need it corroborated. I'm a priest. My name is Neil. I like it. Simple.

It's good. Neil before the Lord. Someone said, a family of farmers and their last name was Field. Yeah, that's good. That's quite good. Back in the day, look, we've had this one a few times, but this has got backstory, so I'm choosing to believe it.

Okay. Back in the day, in little old Harwara in Taranaki, there was a plaster whose name was, Plastera, whose name was Phil McCracken. And he had a red van with Phil McCracken, Plasterer services. And I'm not buying it. He's either. He's either.

the victim of nominative determination or he loves a laugh that guy. And he's just decided to make a van to get a laugh out of people. It's great marketing though. Because you're always going to remember the van that drives past Phil McCracken's van. True. Actually, if you're going into the plastering business, you better to change your name because you'll stand out. My last name is McDonald's. My first job was at McDonald's.

I like this one. My last name is Whale, W-A-L-E. and I'm currently pregnant. And the person who texted hoping that Blaze worked at a crematorium, how do we not think of that one? That would have been good too. How do we not think of that one?

One more. There is a life insurance broker in Todonga, whose name is Lawrence Deadman. There you go, Lawrence, a bit of free promo for you. Going into the holidays, a Lawrence. It's ZM's Breinclin podcast.

We were just talking about names that match your jobs and we were saying the double is the ultimate of the first and last name. It's the holy grail. That's the holy grail. And we have one more. Someone's just texted and said, my mum's gardener's name is Rose Lawn. I wonder if that person changed their name. Rose Lawn.

Oh, you know, they may have married into the Lawn family. Yeah. Well, yeah. Or they've changed their name because they're a gardener to match their job. I feel like it's unlikely that people would do that. It's too perfect. Yeah. Like it's just too good.

No one's changed their name to match their job since Bob the Builder, have they? He's the original. That's true. Rose could have married into the Bush family. Rose Bush. She could have married into the Thorn family. Mm-hmm. She could have married.

Is there a stem popular last name? Let's just hope she didn't marry into the Bud family. Yeah. What's wrong with that? It's nice, isn't it? Yeah. Is there something that I don't understand about Rosebud? If you know, you know.

Oh, okay. Let's move on. Okay. Play ZDM's Bree and Clint. Let's get classic. Oh! It's the game where we go head-to-head guessing songs in classical style. Team hairy, hawk and turkey skin are Brian Clint.

And Team Mad Dog is Ella. Hi. If you're new to the show and you're like, Is she just a one-person team? It's because she's got the upper hand. She's naturally better at this game than us. So we combine powers to take her on. Yeah.

Yeah. It doesn't stop us bragging when we win. Even though it's two-on-one, we still act like it was a fair playing field. Yeah. When I win, and we go into ads and songs, you guys just continue on planning the show, planning what your next's going to say. And I go in your studio, run around, make a racket. Celebrate with me.

Yeah, there's nothing. You just move on. Well, it's like tennis, Ella. You're a solo athlete. It's lonely. It's lonely. We're trying to teach you. We're trying to teach you how to be a humble winner because you have no skills in that area.

No skills. Are you leading by example? You're the worst. The worst wins. Did you see yourselves last week? We always lead by example. We do. Absolutely not.

We are the picture of decorum and composure. Humble winners ever. Well, may the best one win. May the best one win today. Claudia, let's do this thing. Let's do it. So the game's called Let's Get Classical. I've taken songs from the ZDM playlist, pop songs,

and I've reimagined them in a classical style. It's your job to guess what they are. Buzz in with your name and tell me the artist and the name of the song. Got it, Claude. You got it, sister. Are we ready? Are we zen? Yeah, we are.

Okay, here's your first song. Ella! Oh my God. buttons, pussy kit dolls there's the one well done I didn't even hear anything I had nothing

I could hear it after Ella told me what it was you know once your brain knows what to look for do you want to hear it again I'm I don't know my buttons babe

and keep froninin you're what you're going to do to me Oh, okay, I've had enough of that now. I can't hear any of these two. That was a lot. Okay, one point for Ella. Here's another one. Ella.

Ella? She starts humming immediately. Three, which is against the rules. Two, one. I know it. You cannot play the song. You have to go off that. Mm.

Um. Quick guess is a good guess. Benson Boone. No. Is it Sabrina Carpenter? Owah! Calm down. Sorry, I've just got it.

Manchild? It is Sabrina Carpenter, Manchild. Where did you get that? I don't know. It was the dicks of my brain. You got it? You got it wrong. I'm going to give her a point anyway, because that's my bad.

Thank you, Claudia. This isn't Manchild, eh? She's already given us the point. We'll take it. That's on me. So you got the artist right, and that was very impressive. That was a gift to us. Are we going to win without getting one even, without having given one right?

That's how good we are. That's bullshit. Okay, this is Match Point. This is the last song. Okay. Here it is. Hello. I had nothing.

No, neither. I wasn't even close. It just hurts the two that she got her such millennial bangers. Guys just acknowledge her victory and then she might settle down. Ella, congratulations. We're so proud of you. Such a good job from you this week, Ella. Thank you.

Let's go to Eva. Who voted for me to win? Well done, Eva. You correctly voted for Mad Dog. So you get $50 cash thanks to Neon. Eva. You're so welcome, Eva. That is our pleasure.

Eva, darling, let's do the victory bark. Three, two, one. I don't mind that. Eva's like, this is not worth the KFC. ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast. Guys, have you not realized something? There is an epidemic. Oh.

Not that type. This is just my thoughts and my feelings So long as it's not a pandemic Because I don't know if I can do that again Well, what's the definition of an epidemic? Great question. Because my understanding of an epidemic is where there's an influx

Of one particular thing taking over And it's everywhere. The difference between an epidemic And a pandemic An epidemic is something that spreads rapidly In a localized region. A pandemic is an epidemic that is spread globally.

Okay, I take it back. There's a pandemic. Oh, it's a pandemic? It's a pandemic, guys. Okay. There's another one. It's happening. And the pandemic is to do with foods that have protein in it.

What is going on? And I know there's so many people listening right now that goes, yeah, when did this bloody start? Yes, you've got a protein bar. Just consumed an afternoon protein. But this is the thing, right? Protein bars, been around for a long time. They're not really part of this protein pandemic, but I have done my own research. Okay. Because I have noticed over the last, I want to say, couple of years, everything in the supermarket

now has protein bloody versions. So these are the protein versions I've found during my research. So obviously there's protein bars. They've been around since forever. Pretty standard. Then with protein shakes are there? original, aren't that? Protein shakes, protein bars, stock standard protein products.

Then we started seeing protein yoghits. Protein yoghits. Which is branding because yoghurt is protein. Yeah. But only until recently have they started putting that on the packaging. They've been selling it as protein yogurt. Protein yoghurtes? Have you guys seen protein chips? What?

Protein chips. I don't know I could get protein chips. And this is why consumerism will never What's a protein chip made from? Who knows? Who bloody knows? How do they get the protein? No, wait, mate, there's more.

There's more. I know you're big into the protein. These are the other products you can buy. Okay. There's protein bagels. Really? Protein bagels available. Protein ice coffees.

They're on the shells. Protein cookies, which have been around. Protein peanut butter. Not just peanut butter. Protein peanut butter. Mm-hmm. High protein granola. I've seen that one.

Yeah, I've seen that one. Goes to me on the weekend. Hey, do you want to have some protein granola with me? I was like, can't we just have normal bloody granola? I had a bowl of protein granola with a scoop of protein yogurt in it the other night after dinner. It's outrageous. You know why? Because there wasn't enough protein in my dinner.

There's high protein low carb raps. Yep. That's a thing. Again, I don't know how they get the protein into those, but yeah. There's sparkling water protein now. I have heard of protein water. And then also just normal. It sounds disgusting.

Also just normal protein water. Yeah, water might be where I draw the line. You can get protein sparkling water, protein normal water. I also saw that there's a product called NutraGrain High Protein. Nutra grain, but it's extra protein. It's Iron Man. There's protein rice, protein coffees, protein cheese, protein ice cream, protein milk, protein bread. The list goes on and on.

We had for dinner there. other night high-protein pasta. The pasta was made from lentils and chickpeas and it was actually quite good. It was actually quite pulling. It was. Don't be bringing that

crap in here to... It was gluten free too. I'm out. Nah. Nah. My nunna would be rolling in her grave. Yeah. Imagine if I went

around to my nunna's out. with a protein pasta. Hey, Nona, I know you've made this recipe and it's from hundreds of years of, you know, families. You bought it over from Italy with you on the boat. But can we use some protein pasta in there instead? Well, who knows? How much grandma would have been able to lift

if she'd been having protein pasta? You don't know. We will never know, unfortunately, because she lived before the era of protein pasta. Just eat something. else. Don't ruin the pasta. Leave pastor alone, you know?

Anyway. So much protein. Cottage cheese? You can pretty much put it in anything. God, they're worried about the cows, you know, doing the farts. Soon the people are going to be the problem.

I've already got Gooseys. Already got them from reading the text about people's saving other people's lives. There are some incredible messages coming through, some real right place, right time things. And then some people who just seem born to save lives, like this text, Hi, I've saved five people's lives on five separate occasions. I'm not sure if it's luck or what.

I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. What? I need to know. The five different occasions you save someone's life. Let's talk to Jody on 0800,000. Hi, Jody. Hi, Jody. Hi. Are you a lifesaver, Jody?

I am Okay, tell us about it What happened? So during my nursing training I was just at the supermarket one time And I came across this guy Just on the floor And I ran to him

And he wasn't breathing He had no pulse And it was only because of my I had to get first date My nursing training Yeah, of course I do What to do

and, yeah, for like five minutes, man, there's other guy just kept pushing on his chest. So you did CPR on him and you brought him back? Yeah. Oh, my God. He is so lucky that you were the person that happened to be walking into the supermarket at that moment. Because if it was me, obviously you'd give it a go,

but I don't know the ins and outs of CPR. Your best shot. You know? I had no idea what I was doing. Oh, my God. That's incredible, Jody. Thank you very much for your call, Jody. That's great.

you just imagine at the supermarket, they'd be like, CPR and IL-3? C-P. Sorry, I get uncomfortable and I make jokes when I'm like, you know, hear an amazing story. We're getting a lot of blood donation texts which should not be overlooked because every time you donate blood, you get a text that says, thank you very much, you've saved a life. But this person is over and above. They said, I've donated 307 loads of plasma.

That's incredible. What, 307? Yeah, I'm just trying to wrap my head around. That's the liquid gold stuff that comes out of your blood. Because it takes time for your body to regenerate. To regenerate that. I think you can donate plasma more than you can donate blood, though. Really?

Are you sure? Don't quote me on that because I've never done the plasma one, only the blood one. Kyla's here. Hi, Kyla. Hi, Kyla. Hi. Are you a lifesaver, Kyla? It's actually not me.

It's my dad. Oh, tell us about it. So in 2011, he was a truck driver, and he was doing a longer haul down the coast. Okay. And he actually came across a car that had flipped upside down, gone off the road into the ocean. Yeah. And so him and another guy pulled over and saved a toddler and a mum from this car that was upside down and sinking in the ocean. Oh, my whole body just got chills, Kyla.

I've got goosies on my face. Oh, it was the toddler bit. Yeah. He got a police medal And honestly he has been an absolute hero To all of us Yeah Like he's amazing

What an absolute legend That's unbelievable And that's your dad, Kyla That's my dad That's amazing Give him a shout out What's his name? I can't say that unfortunately

Sorry He's one of those heroes who works under cover He's like Batman Yeah Okay No fair enough Kyle Thank you very much How about this text about someone else's dad

They said, my dad pulled a lady out from an upside down car after she crashed. She was more worried about her handbag, even though the car was on fire. By the end, he was so frustrated with her, he told us he should have just left her in there with the handbag. Cool, Dad. But he didn't. That's the main thing. He didn't. He pulled her out.

This one's amazing. It says, I was on a kayak with a friend leisurely paddling in the board. Blue Lakes in Rotorua. We noticed a random floating paddleboard and thought that was odd, about 100 metres away. A few seconds later, we saw a head barely popping out of the water. Realised the person was drowning. We had to paddle really hard to get to them as soon as possible. As we got to the guy, he took his literal last gulp of water, not air, and started sinking. My friend, who was a very small build, put her hand out to the, guy, and he grabbed it so tight, she still has a hand bruise there years later.

Oh, that's terrifying. She held him, and I had to paddle the kayak back because there was so much drag pulling because he was pretty much dead weight. But yet, we definitely saved a life. Was an overseas tourist who wasn't wearing a life jacket? Jeez. Got goosies everywhere. That's incredible.

If there's one thing I know, though, Those kayaks were not from the Blue Lake Top Ten Holiday Park. They don't have, they don't have kayaks. They've got everything else. Sorry, I get nervous as well and I make jokes. Like this text, you won't believe this, guys, but last night a DJ saved my life. No way.

I wonder which DJ. You can donate plasma every two weeks. My mum did the Heimlich maneuver on my daughter. These are all texts from people who have saved lives. Someone said, my friend saved my life when I died of cardiac arrest, even though she didn't know CPR. Wow, you owe that friend. Every time you go to a cafe, you're like, oh, I'll get your coffee.

They're like, should I pay for the coffee this week? Or do you still owe me from the time that I literally saved your life? Yeah. What about this one? The Bulls Fire Brigade kept my daughter alive until more help came. She would be dead if they didn't do what they did. That's amazing. Shout out to those guys.

My dad revived the toddler next door when she drowned in the spa. Oh! Yeah, again. That's amazing. Again, you've got cat sitters for life. Your neighbours will, whatever you need. Oh, that's amazing. Someone else said, I saved my dad's life, donated him one of my kidneys when I was 28.

It's our 14th year anniversary on Sunday. That's so special. That's amazing. Thanks for your text, guys. We say this a lot, but those were little. literally incredible. Yep. Very cool text to read.

Out the gate. ZD.N. Time for birthday banger. Bring and clen. All I want through my birthday is the birthday banger. Here we go. Birthday banger is the number one song when you turn 16. We'll figure out yours and we'll play our favourite.

This is Kim's big day on birthday banger. Hi Kim. Hi Kim. Hi. What's the best thing that's happened to you today, Kim? Um, probably ringing up the rainbow. Oh, it's stupid, Kim. Well, it is an honour to be the best part of your day, Kim.

Let's see if we can make it even better. What's your day to birth? 21st of August, 88. All right, that means, Kim, you was 16 in 2004. And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top. I've been watching, I've been waiting in the shadow. The Rasmus. One hit wonder

The Rasmus It's a great one though, Kim You like it? Do you remember it, Kim? Yeah, I was just banging away to it I like it, Kim It's a goodie You are what? You heard

I did hear Wait there, Kim, you could be our winner today Kim's little laugh just then He goes Serena's here to play birthday banger Hi Serena Hi Serena Hi, Serena

What's been the best part of your day Serena? I'm just kicking back right now, being driven around by my 16-year-old, so it's pretty cool. Oh, okay, restricted driver's license, Serena? Not quite, very soon, hopefully. Amazing. She got on birthday, bigger. Wait, are you being driven around by an unlicensed 16-year-old?

No, she's only learners. Loeners. Oh, okay, right. What's your 16-year-old's name, Serena? Aisha. She got on last week, and she's inspired me to ring. Oh, nice. Amazing.

Okay, shout out to Aisha. What is your birthday? 11-11-82. All right, that means you were 16 in 1998. And on the 11th of November 98, this was number one. Everybody get up. One, two, three, four. Yeah.

Yeah, Serena. Oh, it's a goodie, Serena. What does the road code say about mum being on the phone to radio stations while you're practicing on your lunus license? He is probably not encouraged. I've got one eye on her. I'm going to say it's frowned upon, but not illegal. It's a grey area.

We'll do one more birthday banger for Ryan. Gidey, Ryan. Hello, Ryan. Day team, how's it going? Good, thank you, mate. Best part of your day today, Ryan. What was it? Literally just finishing work, getting in the car

and getting through to the radio for the street sign. We love that, Ryan. We appreciate you calling through. What is your day to birth? The 19th of July, 1985. Right, Rysey. That means you were 16 in 2001. And let me take you back to your 16th with this one.

Follow me, everything is alright. I think I'll be the one who took me in at night. I'm called Cracker. Quite a funny name. What do you reckon, Ryan? Do you like it? To be honest, I actually, that song itself I do like, it's nice and mellow, but I think I know which song should win, but I'm going to keep that to myself. Oh, no, give it to us. What's your opinion?

My opinion out of all the songs that I've heard, I'm not going to lie, but the song by five is probably the best one. Interesting, because that's the one I was going to vote for as well, Ryan. So I'm happy to do that. I'll vote five. I'm honest, I'm just being honest. No, I like it, Ryan. We love the honesty.

Because, see, my gut was leaning towards the Rasmus. The Rasmus. That is a really good song, too. It's just being those two, I think. Yeah, see, I like that, Ryan. You're supportive. I'm going to have to split it. Claudia, what's the winner of birthday banger today?

Oh, no, I was really hoping you guys would decide. Normally I would say the Rasmus, but I feel like Serena's enthusiasm for her song kind of pushed me over the edge. Serena, congratulations. You're the winner of birthday banger today. Yay, thank you. You are welcome.

And good luck with that 16-year-old learner driver on the way home. From 1998, here's 5 on ZM, Brie and Clint. Z&M's Brean Clint podcast. Hypothetical question for everyone listening and you guys here in the room. And I think it's a question, I want to say 90% of the population has thought about or ask themselves this question at one point. And the question is, how much money would you have to win to quit your job?

This is the question. And the reason why I'm asking the question is because there was a study where they asked over 400 people this particular question. and I've got the results. Okay. Quite interesting, actually. Do you want to talk about what it is for you and then we'll see where you fit? Sure, I can give it to you nice and quickly. I love my job and not everybody gets to say that, so it kind of comes into it a bit.

Like, I have a really fun job with great people who I enjoy seeing. I'm a wedding DJ. But at the same time, if I could spend more time with my children while they're young, I don't think you can, you know, like, is that weird? worth coming in to hang out with you lot every day? But how much would it take? 10 million. 10 million? 10 million? 10 million? 10 million. I'm selling myself short then.

That's my number. No, go with what you thought, Claudia, to quit your job. Don't let mine color yours. Tomorrow. So you've got no children to hang out with. That's true. I have very similar feelings though. I love my job and I know that if I quit my job and didn't have enough, I'd have to find a different job. Yeah, yeah. And I would love it. If I quit, I don't want to have to come crawling back. Yeah. So it's got to last.

Exactly. that being said my initial thought was one million but then I took it down to half half a mill no you're no that's stupid half a mill you're selling yourself way too short I just know you could I could I could do so much with it you could but it's not enough to quit your job unfortunately not half a mill not these days unless you hate your job Claudia no I definitely don't hate my job then you would quit for half a mill Ella what's your number you'd quit for I was going to say the same just say the one that's in your head well I was I was going to, shut up.

If the numbers going down. Just say something. I was going to say. Just say something now. Just tell us. She's going to do it for free. All you have to do is just say the number. Just say a number.

Oh, don't worry about that one. Let's move on. Bleak me, Claudia. The number's getting spoiled. She's not going to have to quit her job at all. She's going to get five. Guess what? You get to leave for free.

Look out. I'm happy about that. Look out. Bring your number? My number would be 10. 10 million. 10 million. 10 million.

I feel like I could be happy. I could do some smart things, live off some interest, you know, that kind of jazz. I'd make tin mill work, you know? I feel like I'd be fine. You would, you and I had the same answer as 20% of the people said that they would quit their jobs for 10 million. Yeah. 11.9% said they would. resign after winning less than a million.

So the girls, that's you. 19.23% said they would quit their jobs if they won just over a million. Yeah. And 21.5% said it would take 50 million for them to quit their jobs. Mama Mia. 50 million, you'll never see me again.

Oh, you will never see me again either. Does that mean I could buy a boat? I could buy a boat with that. You could buy a boat with 50 million. You could. God. You can do a lot of things. The most popular answer was $5 million.

$5 million, 27.2%. Well, there's a lotto draw tomorrow night. How much? I'm just looking at how much it is $6 million. Good to go. Good to go. Well, the girls won't be back. You and I will be a slave and away.

The ZDM Podcast Network. Look, yesterday I said to you guys, because I know everyone in here is addicted to their phone. Guilty. All of us are addicted. Clint, you say quite. often how much it worries you and bothers you how addicted you are. I'm more addicted to my phone than Ella is addicted to vaping in the

workplace. And that's a lot. And she's addicted. That's not true. All of us are addicted to our phones, right? And there's always things that come up from time to time that you can try and be less addicted to your phone. And the latest one is the grey scale that is now available on smartphones. You turn it on. It takes all the colours out of your phone.

It makes it way less appealing. You don't get the dopamine hit that you normally get when you look at all the bright, fancy colors on your phone. This hack has existed for a few years, but you were showing me yesterday that I've updated it where you can make it gradual. You can take some color out and then more color out and it's just over time you make it less vibrant until you work your way down to full black and white, which I would call cold turkey if you go straight black and white. Yeah, because I mean, back in the day, like when phones first existed, it was black and white.

That's what it was. It was way less appealing, hence why we weren't so addicted. I mean, there's a lot less you could do on your phone back then, too. But I think it's smart. I think it could work. 24 hours in, I'm pleased to announce my phone is still completely black and white. And I haven't taken it off black and white once, not even to check something, not even to look at a photo, nothing. And man, it's hard.

It's awful. Like I am really struggling. I got to say, I'm not enjoying using my phone, which I think is the point of this. I think you'll make to... No, that is the point. Okay, let me rephrase. That's the point. Yes, that is the point.

Groundbreaking stuff. But like we talked about yesterday, it's going to... You're not going to instantly be unaddicted to your phone, are you? No. So you've got to go through this... What do they say? Is it... How many days to...

Two weeks makes a habit? No, 60 days. 60 days. 60 days. Makes a new habit. Do you know, one of the challenges I've found... Yeah. Is some of the apps...

use colours to give you notifications like WhatsApp for example I actually can't tell if my friends have read the message or not anymore because the ticks would go blue if they'd seen it Yeah That makes

Surely if they've seen it they reply God that might be the biggest First World problem Yeah totally So these things are not insurmountable But there's little things like that Yeah I

It kind of made me think last night I was like, is this what, like, people with colourblindness? Yeah, I thought that too. Is that how they go through life? Because I love those videos of people getting, who have colour blindness, and they get those glasses. Yeah. I love watching those videos.

And for the first time you can see these people. And now we're forcing ourselves to have dullness in our lives. Ella, have you, I know Bree, she's like five days into this. I'm 24 hours in. Ella, have you managed to stick with it? Yeah, I've stick to that. I didn't go full black and white, but it's like halfway in between. And how are you finding it?

I actually am angry at my phone. Yeah. So I've read this morning. Yeah, it's not enjoyable to use, is it? It's really horrible. Like you, Clint, you can't see messages that have been seen. I struggle with the photos because that's my job. I took photos at my daughter's athletics today.

And the photos look really arty because they're all in black and white. But I don't know if they're good or not. Like I don't know if that's a good photo. Yeah, I feel like out of any way. anyone Ella probably can't do this. Yeah, but it's still good to... Maybe she could do it on the weekend when it's not her job. Yeah, like because it's her job to make sure things look good on social media.

Twist my arm. Claudia, how... Ella's like, yes. How are you going with the phone grey scaling 24 hours in? Listen, I'm going to answer your question and I'd like the floor to remain mine. Okay. I'd like a platform to explain myself. We'll see how it goes.

So what happened was, you were talking about it and I did, I changed the setting and I was like, oh, that's interesting. and then I put it straight back and I never kept it on. But... So you didn't do it. Wait, wait, wait. I didn't realize we were doing a thing.

I thought you were just showing us instructions and I took one look at it and went, not for me. Okay, so do it now. So do it now. You can do it now. Brie can run you through the instructions one more time because you may be listening to this and going.

Maybe I do want to give it a go. Maybe I do want to make my phone a little bit less dopamine triggering and a little less appealing so I can break the addiction. So you can go into your settings app. It's in accessibility, display and text, and you need to go to the color filters section,

and you can turn that on, and that's where it'll allow you to pick what grey scale you want. That's iPhone. I've got an Android and pre-founded in my accessibility section as well. In Android, yeah. There you go. I've done it. You've done it?

I've done it. 24 hours minimum, Claudia. Okay. Your dog's black and white. Oh, he always was, though. Yeah, you've got a black and white dog. So it doesn't really affect your life in any way. My bottom background still looks great.

It's ZM's Breinclin podcast. That's the end of the show. We are out of here. I'm going to the premiere of a film that a friend of mine wrote and directed. Oh, talented friend. Yeah, it's a big deal. It's an independent film. Yeah, I know, right?

He has been trying, because it's just a little indie film that they're trying to do big things with. That's so cool. He's been trying. all week to get Tyker to show up to the premiere year. Right. Any luck? Don't know. We'll find out tonight. He's had people tagging Tyca on social media. I mean, I'm sure Tyca Waititi gets this shit all the time.

But if he did show up, can you imagine what that would do? It would just be like... Well, I mean, what if Tyker sees the film and then goes, oh, this guy's got talent? Exactly right. Go on give it a shout out. What's the name of it? The name of the film is The Tavern. It's by Matt Hicks, a Cambridge superstar. And I can't wait to see it.

How bloody cool. Have a great night, everybody. We'll catch you back tomorrow on the Bree and Clint show. Bye-bye. Play ZM's Bree and Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok. And live weekdays from three on ZM.
