The ZM Podcast Network. Let's go for it. Hi everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast. If you're going, where the hell have you been? Bitch. Well, we decided to take a day off, and then the day after that was a public holiday, so... Oops. Oops. Oops. Slipped and fell into a four day weekend.

Oops. Oops. Slipped and fell into a four-day weekend. Oops. Say less. Did you drink all four days of the four-day weekend? That's a very personal question. You did, didn't you? Maybe. I had a cup of tea last night instead. Oh, I didn't drink.

Oh, no, I had one beer yesterday. I had one beer. I was like, I had one beer yesterday. I had one beer. I was like, four nights in a row? Yeah, I, to be honest, feel a bit crap now. I know. I quite a sent it. Did you? My long, long weekend, and I was away at the beach.

Do we still think, this is quite an honest question. Yeah. In a night, do we still consider a bottle of wine a lot? In one night? Yeah. A weeknight? No, a long weekend night. Oh, no, that's fine.

Yeah, all good. Oh, it depends what type of wine, I think. Red. Red might be good. A bottle of red is a lot more sturdy, a bit more hefty. I love it. It's heavy, yeah. That's a decent amount.

But you open it with dinner. It's dinner at four o'clock? Well, funny you say that. Five, actually. Five. Okay, well. Five when you have children. Gives you a bit more time.

You can start drinking early because you've had children all day. Do you chill your red wine? No. Oh, you're missing out. But I don't mind that when it's really hot. I love a chilled red wine. Yeah. Yum.

So no was the answer. Cool, great, just checking. Yeah. That's fine. I can't remember the question. Is a whole bottle of red wine to yourself a lot? I'm not asking you for a doctor's take on it. I'm just... Yeah, how annoying's take on it. I'm just.

Yeah, how annoying is it when you go to the doctor and they always ask you, okay, so how much alcohol would you have a week? And you say, like, and you always lie. You always lie. You always lie. And they know you're lying. Who is telling the truth when they ask that question? No one is telling the truth.

Because if I were to tell the truth and would say, oh, on a Saturday night I'd probably have eight or nine drinks over a period of a number of hours, they would be mortified at that. But they know. They're not stupid. They know. My doctor knows. So when you

say, when it's eight or nine and you say four, they'll round it up to eight but then they they give you the advice that you shouldn't have more than i don't know what's it's not more than three a week whatever it is whatever the number have they rounded that advice down because they know that you're gonna double it so they're like so is the real number more like because i always eight or nine because i always want to ask my doctor like is it an average thing or is it like a thing that, you know, because some weeks I'll have no drinks at all.

Like I can go two weeks without drinks. And does that mean like in the Saturday night, can I have all eight drinks? I listened to a really confronting podcast with a neuroscientist the other day and they asked him straight up. They said, what is a safe amount of alcohol to drink? And he goes, none. And they go, boring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah and he goes but i know that's a boring answer so and i'm going to

be really honest with you guys it's two two a week two a week but what if you don't drink for like say you don't drink for two weeks yeah does it roll over yeah do you do you know you don't get credits no you can't have a month off and then just absolutely slam yourself. Oh, this is bullshit then. Which is the issue with things like Dry July and Sober October is, yeah, you do 30 days of no alcohol, which is really good for you. But it doesn't matter if you're- And at the end you get absolutely wrecked.

So you ruin that four weeks of work you just did. I reckon town on the first Friday at the end of dry July, hectic. Oh, should we do a party? Yeah. What's the month after July? Do we want to encourage that? August. August.

Sloppy August. August. First of August is a Tuesday. The fourth of August is a Friday. We'll do it on a Friday. Yeah, we do it on a Friday and we invite everyone who's done Dry July to come down and we'll buy their first drink. That's so bad.

Why? It's encouraging drinking. What, one drink? One drink would be fine. You wouldn't think the 22-year-old would be the fun police. I know. Oh, shut up. I'm not the fun police.

Woo, woo, woo. You are a calm tree. I'm in my tree. I heard this real fun game from someone I know the other day, and I think we should do it. Yeah. So this is the situation. So we all dress up as farmers, right?

I'm into it. So we all dress up as farmers. I've all dress up as farmers so we need a bigger group than us for so we need to include like you know probably the wider zm team people so you get a group of say 30 people right and then everyone you all decide on an amount that everyone has to put into the kitty so let's say it's 30 bucks each. So everyone puts in $30 each. So everyone puts in $30 and then you have this one pool of money. So then out of a hat, everyone's name goes in a hat, you draw out the farmer that is going to be chased, right? So let's say we draw out the name and it's my name.

So that means I take all the money that's in the kitty and I go to whatever bar that I want to within a certain radius down to the viaduct, if that's the area you pick. So I pick whatever bar. You guys don't know what bar that I've picked though, but it's within a certain radius. So we give you like a head start. Yeah.

So I go down there, I pick a bar in a certain radius and I start drinking using the money in the kitty. Love it. Right? The rest of the farmers have to break up into groups and they have to find me. But here's the key. Here's the key.

So if you walk into a bar with, say, you're in partners, you walk into a bar and I'm not there, you have to sit down and have one drink. Love it. So you have to sit down and have one drink. it so you have to sit down and have one drink and so everyone is doing this until the person who has the kitty money is found and they're just drinking as many drinks as they can so when they find you do they get to start drinking from the kitty as well and so the other farmers don't know slowly but surely find you yes and you need to get

to the farmer before the kitty is exactly so the. So the faster you find the farmer, the more there is in the kitty for you to drink with. That's so good. Yeah. Fun. I'm on board. It might seem like an obvious question. Why are we dressed as farmers? Oh, just because it's fun to put a flannel on?

And they're quite recognisable? I was like, where does the farmer bit come in i don't know it is funny to have a group of farmers like running around town where is she have you seen this woman but yeah you could dress up as anything couldn't you anything could be anything you dress up as characters from mario you wanted to. I found a loophole. What's a loophole? Look through the window. Don't actually go in.

Don't go in. See? See, again, fun police. You're not invited. You're not invited. Oh, you'd look so good as a farmer. You just suck the fun out of farmer wants to get inebriated. I don't want to be known as the fun police. Oh, we could call it farmer wants a beer.

Yeah, sure. Ella's like, oh, but, you know, not everyone. What about people who don't like beer? I like Farmer Wants to Get Inebriated. I want it. Yeah, no, I'll join. Honestly, I'm there for it. I got drunk on Saturday, so

there you go. She's trying to build herself a resume. Guys, I can be fun. Guys, come over to my house and I'll organise some fun. I can do fun. I can do fun. I paid outside. That's fun.

Too fun. Too fun. Sorry. I'm coming in. Well, howdydy pilgrims We're here, it's Wednesday And we're ready to start a fresh week of the Brian Clint Show God, I don't know about you guys But that long long weekend took it out of me

Me too actually, I'm knackered It takes Just on the roads yesterday. Yeah. Just driving. We took Monday off and I messaged my friend group, our group chat, and I was like, hey, guys, just letting you know, I didn't work today, so let me know if you had to work and I'll make sure that I have a beer for you tonight.

And my mate, who's a schoolteacher, messaged through and he goes, yeah, we had to work today. And I said, not you. You've just had 14 days off. Okay? You don't count. You had to go back to work for one day. No beer for you. I'm not drinking a beer for you. Why are you saying

no to beers? I still drink a beer. Yeah, I was gonna say. But it was the principal. Yeah. It was the principal. I would have definitely just drunk the beer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. Poor old teachers, eh? Did they get two weeks off for? School holidays. Off school holidays, of course, which is over Easter end. Yeah, and then school holidays ended on Monday and then Anzac Day on Tuesday.

So they went back for one day. Some went back for one day. Then a day off yesterday. And some schools took a teacher-only day. Oh, no. After two weeks of holiday, they're like, we need a day just yesterday. And some schools took a teacher-only day. Oh, no. After two weeks of holiday, they're like, we need a day just for the teachers. To get back into the swing of things.

You know, we've got to do some lesson planning on whatever we do. Speaking of getting back into things, we're going to kick the show off with Tradiverse Lady. $50 cash up for grabs. The ladies are two wins in front for the year. If you want to play, call now 0800-DIAL-ZM. They're just holding on to that lead ever so slightly. They just won't give it up.

Is it because it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere? I don't know. Is that what it is? Everyone's going into hibernation. Yeah, could be. Could be. It's like when Lorde released her album and she released it.

It was for the Northern Hemisphere. For the Northern Hemisphere. So it was real summery and we were in the middle of winter. Which was for the Northern Hemisphere. For the Northern Hemisphere.

Awesome. Thank you, guys. Fun fact, Bree and I only ever write seven questions, so when it gets to number seven, we get really nervous. Yes. Our undies start to get eaten. Bree and Clint. Imagine if you had the same first and last name.

So your name would be Clint Clint. Or Roberts Roberts. Don't say that too quickly. Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint. Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint. You'd be Brianna Brianna. Yeah. G'day, Brianna Brianna. The name's Brianna. Brianna Brianna. Yeah. G'day, Brianna Brianna.

The name's Brianna. Brianna Brianna. My email, yeah, it's briannabrianna at gmail.com. No, you get one of those Apple ones. It's brianna at brianna.me. People are like, what? What? Say what?

It's bri.anna at brianna. At brianna.co.nz. Look, this, we laugh and joke about it. One in or two? Two ins. Always two ins. Across both Briannas or each Brianna? First and last name exactly the same.

Yeah, just text me. Yeah, both got double in. We laugh and joke, but this has happened to a woman where she has the exact same first name as her last name. So she wasn't like, her parents didn't hate her and give her this name because that would just be cruel. But because of the man that she's married, who had the exact same last name as her first name,

she now has identical first and last names. So her husband hates her. Yes. Yeah. Because he's forced her to take his last name, which clearly not the right situation. If you love... He should have taken her last name. Yeah, he should have taken her last name.

If you loved her, you wouldn't make her do that. No. Should we listen... Let's hear... I want to know so bad. Let's hear her explain. Does he have a lady's name for a last name? You just have a listen as to what this woman's full name is.

That is Miley Cyrus, best of both worlds. What was that? Oh, play that again. That was quite a tune, actually. I've got a new computer here. We're having some technical issues. Okay, here it is. Okay.

Okay. This is the lady with the same first and last name. Let me introduce myself to you. First name is Bailey. My husband's last name is Bailey. It's all exactly the same. And so in 2020, when we got married, I became Bailey Bailey. Bailey.

Bailey, what are you doing? It's not even spelt different. He should have taken your last name. Bailey's not even a name that you can shorten either. She couldn't be like Bales Bailey. Well, I guess she could. Be Bailey. Bay, bay, bay.

Bailey. Lee? Could she be Lee? Yeah. Lee Bailey could be Bailey. Bay, Bay, Bay. Bailey. Lee? Could she be Lee? Yeah. Lee Bailey? Lee Bailey. That still doesn't sound good, does it? Love it if her favourite drink is a Bailey's. Yeah, right?

I mean, that would just be ideal. Can you imagine? The waiter comes, I've got a Bailey's for Bailey Bailey. Imagine her filling out forms and stuff. She shows her driver's licence in the video when she's talking about it and her name on her driver's licence is Bailey Bailey. You know, it's quite nice sometimes to hand a name down to your child. Not her. Not her kid.

She can't be Bailey Bailey, mother of Bailey Bailey, can she? No. Bailey Bailey Junior. I want to go on the hunt, Clint. Could she have hyphenated her name? Like if her original name was Smith, could she be Bailey Smith Bailey? See, that's still bad. It's still not like ideal, is it?

I want to talk to people. I want you to call 0800 dials at M. Maybe it's you or maybe it's someone you know that has the same first and last name. Brie wants exact and I'm saying they don't exist because I said to her. Bailey, Bailey exists. Yeah, she's an anomaly. I said to her, oh, yeah, it'd be great to hear from Michael Michaels

and Brie goes, no, no. If they want to call up, their name needs to be Michael Michaels. And then I softened a bit and said, okay, fine. Michael Michaels will do. You'll take Michael Michaels. We'll take... What else could you have? Grant Granson. Grant Grant.

If your names are the same, call us. If you've got a similar... Call us. We'll decide whether it passes or not. Yeah. If you think it matches, just call us. We're still looking for the Holy Grail, though. Lee Lees?

Lee Lee? Yep. Lee Lees. Lee Lees? I'll take it. L-E-E-L-E-I-G-H. Would rather Lee Lee, but I'll take Lee Lees. We'll see what we can get, okay?

0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696 if you've got the same first and last names. Let's talk to Kindle. We're looking for people with the same first and last name. Kindle, are you Kindle Kindle? I'm not, thankfully. Okay, but do you know someone with the same first and last name? Yes, so I have a mate and his name is Wilson Wilson. That's good.

But unfortunately for him, he's in a career where they use their last name a lot. But when he introduces himself by his first name, he has to explain every time. No, my name is actually Wilson Wilson. Yeah, and so he should. So he should complain and explain every time, to be honest. It's not a normal thing. You know how on some school rolls or formal documents they put the last name first?

It doesn't matter for that guy. Can you imagine? They'd be like, what's going on here? My name's around the wrong way. It could be worse, Kendall. He could work at a volleyball company. That's true. Wilson Wilson of Wilson's.

Yeah. I'm the CEO of Wilson. My name's Wilson Wilson. So they said my cousin's daughter is Morgan Morgan. Learning to play the organ. No, that's not true. No, but the Morgan Morgan, but it's true. But that is the rhyme that kids would come up with.

I like this one. My mum either worked with or went to school with a guy called Alistair McAllister. I mean, it's not exactly the same, but it's very good. My uncle is Donald McDonald. Who did that? Who are the parents that did that? My grandparents actively gave him that name by choice. It's like, screw this kid.

Someone else takes through. My best friend married her husband, Daryl Rose last year. Her name is now Rose Rose. Rose Rose. Beautiful name twice. So nice they named her twice. Let's talk to Simon.

Simon, are you Simon Simon? No, that would be pretty bad. Simon, who do you know with the same first and last name? A guy in my university hall. His name was Hugh McHugh. Why would the parents do that to him? Yeah.

I think he was studying medicine as well. Hugh McHugh. Oh, no. He's never going to be taken seriously. Was the last name pronounced, you know how McHugh is often pronounced McHugh? Yeah. So was he Hugh McHugh? No, no, it was spelt like McHugh. Yeah, right. Right.

Oh, poor guy. What's Hugh short for? Anything? Is it? I don't know. Hewitt? Hewitt? Hewitt?

Hugo? Oh, Hugo. I thought you said Hugett. Thanks, Simon. Simon, we appreciate you said Huget. Thanks, Simon. Simon, we appreciate the call, man. Thanks, Simon. Simon, there's so many of these on the text machine. Someone said, I know a John Johnson.

Someone else said, I went to school with a Philip Phillips. Brilliant. Someone else, I had a client called Tracy Tracy. My neighbor Gay married Mr. Day. She is Gay Day. Oh, that's awesome I love that One more from Kate

Kate surely you're Kate Kate No I'm not Sorry to disappoint No that's okay I did this with a guy Whose name was James James The third Kate that's brilliant

So he comes from a long line of James James He does He does Yeah his dad was James And his grandfather was from a long line of James James He does His dad was James and his grandfather was James And they're all James James They're all James James together So was he James James Like Junior Junior Yeah the third yeah

His dad must have been James James Junior And he's James James Junior Junior Yeah he was Jim James Imagine the family tree. It would just be James, James, James, James, James, James, James, James. It'd be so hard to find any files on them or anything. Finally. Oh, that's so good.

Thanks, Kate. Thanks, Kate. There's also the all-black captain, Andy Leslie, whose wife is also Leslie. Leslie Leslie. Oh, she Leslie Leslie. Yeah. Oh, see, why? Why do that to her?

Someone said, I know Richard Richards or Dick Dicks. Dick Dicks. Oh, no. Bree and Clint. If you think you've got a bad boss, well, then listen up. You might not have as bad a boss as this person. And then you'll really know what real pain is. No.

There's a boss that's making headlines around the world today after he posted, well, he didn't post, one of the employees posted a picture of a note that he put up around the office. Got it. So this is what the note says. Attention, employees. Work is not meant to be fun.

This is your job do not dedicate work time to discussion of non-work topics do not facilitate relationships during work hours exchange phone numbers and slash or hang out after work is complete you can reach me at this number if a co-worker is having a non-work discussion on company time. How is this person? Ebenezer Scrooge? What an absolute wet sandwich. They sound like

a parody of what a bad boss would sound like. Yeah, it sounds like it's made up. Or a character from Bad Bosses 2 or something like that. The idea that I get bosses being pissed off if employees are taking the piss and just watching TikTok videos

or filming TikTok dances together all day. You're describing our office. Yeah, a little bit, yeah. But to go out and say openly that work is not meant to be fun, I think it is meant to be a bit fun. Come on, mate. It needs to be a bit fun. Do on, mate. I think it needs to be a bit fun. Do you want people to be miserable the whole time?

Do you remember that boss we talked about who used to have a thing on people's computers so everyone was at their desk and at their computer and their toilet break would be timed? My friend. Was that your friend? My friend worked for a call centre. That was wild.

For a big power company and if they wanted to go to the bathroom, they had to log it. They had to send a message. And the supervisor who was also on another computer would go, okay, how many staff are taking a toilet break at the moment? Yes, you can go. And then you would get a prompt on your screen saying, toilet break starts now.

And then you go and you do your toilet break. And if you're not back to click that you're back at your desk by the end of the toilet break then you get like investigated i am so if you get investigated what a horrible place to work i'm so interested what is the time limit like do you have to say i'm only doing a number one or i'm doing a number two? Do you get a different amount of time for a number one versus a number two? I'll tell you what you do if you've got a male supervisor and you're a female. You go, I've got my period, okay? I need to change my tampon four times a day. Do you want to talk about it?

Come on over here and I'll log a full diary entry for you. We talk a bit on this show about, you know, like thrift store purchases, secondhand store purchases that end up being crazy valuable. These things do happen. They do happen. Very rarely. But I think it's everybody who goes into like a Selly Army or a St. Vinny's, that's the dream, right?

Yeah. You're going to accidentally purchase a Picasso. What about that one where they purchased an old handbag and in the lining of the handbag was heaps of money? Yeah. That's the dream as well. You get a coat and it's got like a wad of bills from the 1940s in there or something.

Yeah. Well, a woman who purchased a sculpture of an ancient Roman guy's head. You know those sculptures? Like the Statue of David. That's a whole body, just the head. But yeah, like the Statue of David guy's head. You know those sculptures? Like the Statue of David? That's a whole body, just the head. But yeah, like the Statue of David, but the head. Yeah, but you know the sculptures that are just the head? It's called a bust.

Oh, why is it called a bust? Wouldn't that be of the chest? That would make sense. No, but it's just the head. She purchased it from a second-hand store for $35. Bargain? Yeah, she has to give it back to Rome. What?

She bought this bust of this ancient Roman guy. You can see on the screen, Brie, it looks like white, kind of looks like white marble or something, eh? Yeah, it does. She bought it from Goodwill in Texas in 2018 because she thought it looked cool. Turns out an American soldier likely stole it and

bought it back from Europe after World War II. No. At the end of the war when everything was crazy and the Nazis were kicked out and there was all this art that had been stolen and the soldiers were like, well, I love that. Can you imagine lugging that thing?

It looks like it weighs a ton. Lugging that thing home in your rucksack? Can you imagine? Not much else would have fit. She thought there was something cool about it when she bought it for $35. So she took it to an art place and they're like, yeah, it is cool. It's 2,000 years old. What?

And that is the sculpture of Roman military leader Sextus Pompey. Give it back. So she just has to give it back? Yeah, gutter day. Oh. I feel like she shouldn't have to give it back. They should at least give her her $35 back. At least.

You know? What happened to finders, keepers, losers, weepers? You know? She didn't steal it. Imagine if like all the bigwigs from Italy, someone from the government calls up and goes, hey, you need to give that back to our country. And she goes, finders keepers, losers weepers.

And they'll go, damn it, she got us again. She knows the rules of finders keepers, losers weepers. Someone get the Prime Minister on the phone. She's got us here in a corner. This is how Rome fell the first time. Someone get the Prime Minister on the phone. She's got us here in a corner. This is how Rome fell the first time. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is

the latest. The rumour mill is swirling with this one, Clint, because over the last couple of weeks, there is a massive rumour flying about Taylor Swift and who she's rumoured to be secretly dating. Oh, is this why she broke up with old Mr. What's-His-Face?

I don't believe so. But the rumor mill is just saying that this could be a new romance. The Spanish F1 driver, Fernando Alonso. Cool. Yeah, so he's 41. And apparently these rumors have been, you know, flying around for a couple of weeks now and he has made comment on the rumours where he has posted a video of him to this song by Taylor Swift

called Karma. And he's looking at the camera and winking. That's good from him. He's captioned the post, race week error. Race week error. Obviously alluding to, you know, the errors tour of Taylor Swift. He's letting the rumours burn wild. He's absolutely adding fuel to the fire on this.

Whether it's true or not, it hasn't been confirmed or denied, but the speculation about the couple began on the popular Instagram account Blind Item, where a lot of different celebrity couples have kind of started on that platform.

Strap in because this information bomb I'm about to drop on the show is potentially going to blow your mind. Well, especially if you're a Miley Cyrus fan. This is wild. So obviously Miley had a massive hit song earlier this year, Flowers. Such a good tune and such a good secret message as well. Such a banger, right? Yeah, yeah.

There's this theory that's going around at the moment that Miss Miley Cyrus could be pulling a real-life Hannah Montana. And if you don't understand what I'm saying, Hannah Montana was the show she rose to fame on where she secretly was this big-time pop star and she'd wear a wig and she'd have all these amazing songs and money, but then she'd take the wig off and she'd live her normal life as Miley. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, she was living a double life. Was Hannah the famous one? I never watched it. Hannah was the famous one. Hannah was the famous one and Miley was the normal one. Yes. Yeah, right, yeah. Yeah, she was living a double life. Was Hannah the famous one? I never watched it. Hannah was the famous one. Hannah was the famous one and Miley was the normal one. Yes. Yeah, right. Exactly.

Banger. Banger. Did they play this at Coachella? Let me rock out the show. You get the best. The strap in. This is the theory that is going around at the moment. People are saying that Miley Cyrus has released a whole entire album under a fake name and profile.

Get off the grass. So here's the deal, right? Apparently, the rumour is, so the profile is under the name Clara Pierce. Yes. And it's got a profile picture on it. It's definitely not Miley. It's on Spotify, right? Or at least it has been.

Well, it has been, but a lot of the music has been pulled down. Suspicious. So you can't listen to it anymore. We have done some digging. So here's the information that I've gathered together that I have done research on. So apparently the album from Clara Pierce was released on the exact same day as Endless Summer Vacation, March the 10th. And people are only just discovering it.

Yeah. So they're saying Miley released her album on March 10 and this album from Clara Pierce was also released on the exact same day. It's just been there. No one knew to look for it. Right. I also found that people are saying that they reckon it was an album that was scrapped back in 2020 called She Is Miley Cyrus.

It was meant to be her seventh studio album but ended up being canned. Right. For whatever reason. And people are saying that this album from Clara Pierce is that Miley Cyrus album. Has Miley Cyrus got more than seven albums? That's incredible. Yeah. And people are saying this is the scrapped one and she's just uploaded it and released it.

Just for fun. Yeah, for fun. All right. So as I said, a lot of the music has been taken down. I don't know if people are in panic mode now and now they're just taking all this music down. Weird that they would take it down. Yeah.

Like weird that Clara Pierce would take her own music down. It's strange, isn't it? Right? It's strange, but we have managed to find some of it. So this is the first song we managed to grab. This is off the Clara Pierce album and people are saying that this is Miley Cyrus. Then I saw my old future in your eyes All I really want is to be

Yeah, that's Miley Cyrus. If that doesn't convince you, because some people might say, yeah, it kind of sounds like her, listen to this other song that we have managed to find. We've only got a short clip of it. But if this isn't Miley Cyrus, I will eat my own hat. That's Miley Cyrus. That is not Clara Pierce. That is Miley Cyrus, damn it. That's Miley Cyrus. That is not Clara Pierce.

That is Miley Cyrus, damn it. That's Miley Cyrus. Is there a chance that it's AI? The other theory is people are saying that it could be AI, but there's too many similarities where she's released it on the set. Well, it also kind of sounds too good to be AI. I know that Drake and Weeknd song was really good, but they're just more kind of like,

21, can you do something for me? This is a lot. She's like actually singing. This is a whole thing. Yeah. This is a whole thing. I would just love to know, because I mean, if her song Flowers is anything to go by,

she loves like an Easter egg. She loves to drop like little secret things But what happens now? Because it's been taken down Do they want it just to be this fan thing that exists in the background And if you know, you know Yeah, I don't know I'll keep you updated if I come across anything else

And if Brie mysteriously goes missing in the next 24 hours You know that Miley Cyrus record label has heard this break. And if they are listening, if they are listening, I will take bribes. Brian Clint. Brian Clint. Brian Clint.

It's time for a birthday banger. Brian Clint. Seamless. It was seamless. Brie and Clint, it's time for a birthday banger. Brie and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Seamless. That was seamless. It's one of our better transitions, I feel. No one noticed a thing. Not a thing. Are we on air?

We're on now. We're live with your birthday banger. Woo! This is where we take your birthplace and we figure out what was the number one songs when you were turning 16 and then we play our favourite one. Let's kick it off with Nicole. Kia ora, Nicole. G'day, Nicole. Hey, how you doing? Good, thanks, Nicole. I want to

ask everyone that's on Birthday Banger today, did you take the Monday off for a four-day weekend, Nicole? I sure did. Yes, you did. How good was it, Nicole? Oh, really nice. Yep.

Why not make the most of a four-day weekend? I'll say every weekend should be a four-day weekend. How good. Although I already feel like nothing can be achieved this week because it's only three days. I'm like, oh, well, this week's a write-off. Can't do much this week. We'll just see all the next week, yeah.

What we can do is your birthday, Banga Nicole. What's your birthday? It's 30th of November, yeah. What we can do is your birthday, Banga Nicole. What's your birthday? It's 30th of November, 1971. All right, that means you were 16 in 1987. And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top. Yes, I've got to have faith. Oh, Nicole. Love it.

Banga. Who doesn't love George Michael? Who doesn't love George Michael? Who doesn't love George Michael? Especially this song too. Such an uplifting song. I'm happy with that one. That's awesome. You should be, Nicole.

Okay, wait there, Nicole. We're going to do a birthday banger for Jack. Kia ora, Jack. G'day, Jack. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. Did you take Monday off for a four-day weekend, Jack? Nah, it's work.

What do you do? What's your job? I'm a builder. You're a builder. Oh, bugger, Jack. work. What do you do? What's your job? I'm a builder. Oh, bugger, Jack. Do you guys get yesterday off? Yeah, I had the day off yesterday. Nice. Jack, what's your birthday, mate?

30th of October, 2001. Alright, that means you were 16 in 2017. And Jack, we've done the calculations. This is your birthday banner. I've been poppin', poppin', man, I feel just like a rock star. All my brothers got that... 21 Savage and Post Malone, rock star.

You a Postie fan, Jack? I was probably back when that song came out, but I feel like I've outgrown a bit, but it's still a good song. Yeah, fair enough. I saw Posty when he opened for the Chili Peppers earlier this year. Yeah. So good. He's so good.

He's such a good singer, but also such a great entertainer. Yep, so good live. Highly recommend going to see him. One more birthday banger for Mirren. Kia ora, Mirren. Hi, Mirren. Kia ora, team. How are we doing?

I like your energy, Mirren. It feels like you've had a four-day weekend. No, not so much. I was there at work on Monday. What are you doing? What's your job, Maren? I'm a veterinary nurse in Haslock. We need you at work.

Safe. Good people, good energy. As someone who had to go to the emergency vet over Easter, any day you can get in there that's not a public holiday, it's very important. So thank you, Maren. We appreciate your service, Maren, looking after all our babies. It's a very important job.

Okay, well, let's do something for you then. What is your birthday? It is the 24th of Feb, 1997. All right, that means you were 16 in 2013. And let me take you back there, your 16th birthday, and this was number one. Oh, cool. It's a banger.

It's a huge banger. A bit of Will.i.am and Britney, you a fan? Oh, yeah, I do. I do love a bit of Britney, I have to say. So do we. So much so you just turn British like Britney does on this song as well. Maybe she got a weird British accent on this song. Yeah, it's strange.

That's my vote. I'm voting for Scream and Shout, Will.i.am, Britney Spears. Yeah, I'm going to go with that. You're in? Yeah, a bit of Scream and Shout. Always a great tune. Hey, Mirren, well done. You just won Birthday Banger. Oh, no way.

That's awesome. Put it on your resume, Mirren. Straight out of 2013. Here's your Birthday Banger on ZM. Bring the action. When you have this in the club, you're going to check, turn it up. You're going to check, turn it up. You're going to check, turn it up.

When we up in the club All eyes on us Bree and Clint Oh, hell, hell, rock and bit Will.i.am and Britney, bitch ZM, Bree and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger from Will.i.am and Britney Spears from 2013 is Scream and Shout. An absolute tune. I want all of us to weigh in on a situation and people listening as

well and want their opinion on this. I came across this story where a woman is wanting advice and this is what she says. I'm recently engaged and having a hard time wrapping my head around how my partner and I are going to split the bills once we move in together. Okay. My partner says, let's keep it simple and we split everything down the middle 50-50. He's a doctor making around $600,000 a year and I work in education and make around $50,000 a year. Okay. How should we split the bills? First of all, quite unorthodox these days that you're engaged but you still don't live together

Yeah, I mean that's their situation but yeah Yeah, like surely you want to do a test run before you marry this person You definitely want to live with someone first What if they leave skitties in the toilet? Yeah You know, who are you moving in with? But on the bills front, the doctor who earns $600,000 a year wants to spit the bills 50-50. And you go, that's funny you say 50-50 because that's all I earn.

Literally. Literally. I feel like that's a bit rough coming from him. Like if you're engaged, like which means you're set to make a set to make a commitment that you're going to be together forever forever forever you know that surely like if that's me and i see that my partner earns way less than me then of course i'm going to step up and go i can pay this or i can pay that because you know know. Yeah. I understand that you shouldn't have to, you know, bankroll somebody in a relationship.

But if you're getting married and you say split the bills, that means even if you're going 50-50, you, the doctor, are only going to spend a maximum of $50,000 on the bills, which means you've got $550,000 a year over here. What are you doing with it? Yeah. What is happening? You're married to this person and you share a house together

and you're like, I might go to the Maldives. I feel like. I might get another car. Do you want to come or you only earn 50K? You can't come. I guess I'll go without you. You told me about a really interesting situation. Where was that from?

So friends of mine. Okay. And they decided to go on their OE together. He was a really well-qualified lawyer. Okay. So earning good money. Earning really good money and was offered by his firm to go and work in the UK.

Right. Really good money. Great deal. And he was like to his girlfriend at the time, you should come with me. She was like, yeah. We'll have a great time. We'll be in Europe.

When they got there, he wanted to live a certain lifestyle. Okay. Didn't want a flat with other Kiwis. Wanted their own apartment. And she... So she had... And he was like, we'll go 50-50 on the belts.

She's like, okay. I kind of need a flatmate. I don't really have, I'm looking for a job over here, but okay. And there's like 50-50 on the groceries, 50-50 on everything. And it just didn't work because then they were like, oh, let's go and travel around Europe. Because when you live in London, you can just shoot off to Greece for the weekend. She's like, I have no money.

I'm spending all my money on like, I have no money. I'm spending all my money on rent. I have no money. Because you have asked me to come over here with you. And you had a job set up. I didn't. He was like, oh, true. Okay, see ya. I'm going with the boys.

Yeah. He went without her. Yeah. Oh, well, that relationship obviously didn't last. Funny you say that. Weird. It actually didn't last. Oh, weird.

That's crazy. Because it's just like, read the room if you're in a relationship. Yeah. There's a bit of give and take that happens because especially in a marriage, you will end up doing things within the marriage that don't make any money but support the other person. Exactly right. So it all kind of evens out in the end.

It all evens out. But the thing is, it's a big red flag when someone's like. This one is so drastic. $50,000 versus $600,000. It's so drastic. A teacher versus a doctor. Like you've given this person a ring saying, I want to be with you forever. But I also don't want to give you any leeway when it comes to the bills.

In sickness and in health. But don't make me live a povo lifestyle. Exactly. This is quite an interesting text from someone. They said, this is easy. My ex and I did a percentage of our income. Example, 30% each of our income on rent.

That's a great idea. It's a really fair way to do it. Yeah. You also get a really nice place then because 30% of his income is $200,000. Damn. I thought we could ask people this afternoon, are you and your partner in a similar situation? And by that, do you and your partner earn very different amounts?

Yeah. And how does it work in your relationship? Or were you in a relationship where it didn't work? Because of that. Because you guys earned such different amounts of money, your lifestyles just couldn't sync up. Yeah. You know, you just couldn't find a way to make it work.

Didn't work. Or you've made it work. How do you make it work? Yeah. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Are you and your partner earning very different amounts? Let's go to James. Hi, James.

Hi, James. Hey, guys. Tell us, James, what's the situation in your relationship, mate? Yeah, so my thoughts are that it also can be a little different depending on whether you are renting or whether one of the people might already own a house, for example. Oh, that's so true. You own the house. the people might already own a house, for example. Oh, that's so true. You own the house.

Yeah, so I own a house. I probably own triple what my partner does. And we're in a serious relationship and she lives with me in the house I own. Okay, do you guys... So you're not married? No, I'm not married, but it is going in that direction. It is serious and it's long term. Oh, I'm so interested, James.

I'm so interested to know what happens in the relationship then. Does she pay you rent? Do you make her not pay anything? What's the go? Yeah, so the way we have it set up is that any bills that are, you know, bills that we're both using, power,

water, etc, etc, we split 50-50 because we are both using it. And then any other things that come day to day with running a house like bins, you know, unlimited internet, which I'm going to have in my house anyway, all the other expenses with a house I take care of because it's my house. Yeah, that sounds fair. Okay, and does she pay you rent?

No, not at all. So, you know, that could be argued that some people might want to do that to help with a mortgage or whatever. I'm in a position, fortunately, where I don't have one. So I don't see the point when you're with someone in a serious relationship to try and collect rent from them. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, you're a good bloke, James.

James, you don't have a mortgage. No, I don't have a mortgage, no. James. How did I miss that? How do you not have a mortgage? Where do you live? I live in a nice place in Auckland, actually, in a pretty good suburb.

I've just worked really hard from really young. How old are you? This is not you. You're 28, James. God. Hey, James, if it doesn't work out, you know where to find me, all right? Hey, good on you, James.

Good on you, James. Thanks for sharing with us. That was very honest. He sounded like a really lovely... I know he's in a relationship, but if they're doing another season of The Bachelor... What a lovely fella. I think we may have found him. He sounds really kind and honest.

Nice bloke. As I said, James, the number is 0800 DIAL ZM. Got some aviation news for you. And this is bougie aviation news. It's also kind of secret aviation news. And we're outing it on the radio. It's the secret benefits that you get if you are a gold elite Air New Zealand customer. I've seen these tags on people's bags from time to time. benefits that you get if you are a gold elite Air New Zealand customer?

I've seen these tags on people's bags from time to time. And they just have them there dangling off their carry on like it's no big thing but we know you're better than us. Does it go silver gold platinum or does it go silver platinum gold? It goes jade jade. Which is like

greenstone. Very in keeping with the theme goes jade. Jade. Which is like greenstone. Yeah. Very in keeping with the theme of the airline. Jade, then silver. Okay. And then gold. Yep. And then gold elite. Right.

And then there is one above that which is. Is it platinum? Which is, no, it's gold elite priority one. Or is it gold elite platinum blonde number one? Gold elite platinum one is the one that we talked about where it's the secret club. one. Or is it Gold Elite Platinum Blonde, Number One, Koru, Power Ranger. Gold Elite Platinum One is the one that we've talked about where it's the secret club and they only admit 100 members a year and you have to be invited in.

Ooh, fancy. That's the one that Lorde is a member of. Right. And Taika Waititi is a member of. Of course they are. So you can't get that one. That's got its own secret lounge. So you have to be famous to get it. You've got to be one of the most 100 important customers to the airline. Jeez.

And Lorde is. Yeah. Good for her. So this is Gold Elite. Gold Elite. Above gold? Yeah. You're in the elite gold members.

Yeah, I guess. Yeah. And this is one that you can achieve. So you can get this if you fly enough. Let's start with what you get. If you are a gold elite member, when you're flying, even in economy on international airlines, they will make sure in the back of your seat

is the business class headphones. Not the shitty normal headphones that everybody else gets. The good ones. The really good headphones from business class. They'll just be there. Nothing said. You just get on the plane. They're just there in the back of your seat. That good ones. The really good headphones from business class. They'll just be there. Nothing said. You just get on the plane, they're just there in the back of your seat.

That's nice. Don't worry about it. The head flight attendant will come to your seat and personally introduce themselves to you when you're flying on the flight. I don't want that, but that's something that you get. Why do they have to do that? Leave them alone.

I think it's so like, because you're important, so that you've got like a name so that if you need anything, you go, can you please get Sarah for me? I actually have an issue that I'd like to discuss. Imagine the flight attendants when they look at the manifest and they're like, oh, we've got six gold elite members on. Oh, Gavin from Auckland's back on the flight. Oh, he's back.

That guy smells like old cheese. There's a rumour that if you're gold elite, you don't have to pay any extra if your bag is overweight. Yeah. That's pretty good. So don't worry about it. Just go to the airport, throw it on the scales, don't even look at it.

They'll just take care of it for you. Can I just say Air New Zealand are pretty, like, cruisy with that stuff anyway. Are they? In my opinion. You're an overpacker, so you would know that. Yeah, and I reckon Air New Zealand are really good. And the best perk of all,

if you're a gold elite in New Zealand customer, people don't know this stuff, but if you become gold elite, you can gift a gold elite status to one other person. What? You can give one. You can give one to a friend, to your partner, or you can auction it off amongst your friend group.

Oh, my God. That'd be so good. So how do we get it? I want to be gold elite. How do we get it? By flying probably around the world five times in one year. You need 1,500 status points in a year, which works out to between 25 and 50 return flights

from Auckland to Christchurch in a year. How many? Between 25 and 50, depending on how much the flight costs. Oh, see, there'd be quite a lot of people doing that. Yeah, it's like flying to Christchurch once a week. That would get you into the Uber-Duber club. I'm just looking at what I'm sitting on at the moment. How many am I?

Oh, no, I need 405 points to retain my silver status. Oh, okay, I thought you were. I'm not even close. Play ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3 on ZM. Feed by KFC. Get the full menu delivered to your door with the KFC app. Play ZM.
