Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Brie and Clint show In your mind, is summer finished? I'm holding on to dear life And if it's not, is this weekend the last weekend of summer? Yeah, probably Because next weekend we change the clocks Is that next weekend? change the clocks. Is that next weekend? The daylight saving.

Which means we'll have more light in the morning, less light in the afternoon. Yeah. Right? Yeah. But then eventually you have less light at both because the days just get shorter and shorter and shorter. Exactly, so it doesn't really matter. We try and give ourselves a little bit in the morning

from next weekend. Yeah, gotcha. The farmers will be stoked. Oh, farmers will be stoked. Because they're up so early. I'm out walking the dog early now that I'm a dog guy. I'll actually be a bit happy. Because I can't see where his poo is

when I walk him in the morning. Yeah, it is quite the... Bumbling around in the dark. I'm like, I know you've done one. I know you've done one. I know you've done one. I always get really confused as well. Like I'll watch my dogs at the dog park run off and do a poo and then I'm like, okay, it's right there.

And then I walk over and I'm like, where did that poo go? How long do you have to look for it? Oh, at least five. Five seconds? Five minutes. Five minutes? You wouldn't look for a dog At least five. Five seconds? Five minutes. Five minutes? You look for a dog poo for five minutes.

Now, if I can't find that dog poo within 30 seconds, I go, I just tell myself, I go, oh, mustn't have done one. I have such anxiety

about not picking out my dog poos. But my dog, Meryl, she wants privacy when she poos. If she's off lead, she'll run off up into the bush, do her business. You don't have to pick it up if it's in the bush. No, I'm not going trekking up into the rocks in the bush for it.

No, no, no. Yeah. Yes, Producer Claude. I was at an inner city park the other day and some guy, his dog did a poo and he was like, did the fake look but didn't actually pick it up. And then this other guy from inside his house about 100 metres away

like overlooking the park was like Oi! Pick it up! And then he was like trying to find it and the guy's directing him from his house

being like bit to your left bit to your left and he finally found it and he's like yeah that's what I thought. I like to think that guy has binoculars

and he spends his day just looking out for pooers. So bored, eh? I would have legged it. I would have just took off running. You'll never catch me. Go catch me now. Kiss my ass.

And then left. Let's get into Tradiverse Lady. I don't know what the score is. I don't think we updated it yesterday. But we will figure that out. The ladies are definitely in front. Yeah, the ladies in front are. But 50 bucks up for grabs as per usual.

On the board it says 18 to the tradies, 25 to the ladies. It's a round about that.

It's a round about that. And we will figure it out. We'll get to it. Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of it. We'll do our due diligence. Yeah, that was good from you. I struggled to say that word. It's hard to say, eh?

Cheers. ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. So we were talking to our producer, Claudia, before the show, who is recently single, and you decided last night to take the big step to get back on the apps, Claude. Yeah, no, I downloaded it the other day, actually, and I used it for one afternoon,

and then I'm immediately like, no, it sucks. I was going to say, when you decided to go back on it, was it a moment of strength and empowerment or a moment of weakness? Bit of both. It was like, yeah, maybe I'm ready, but it's also like, oh, people can say nice things to me. Can you re-download it?

Because I want to turn. Yeah, okay. You know how like all of us, you know, relationship people, we all have a go on our single friends Tinder and stuff. I love when they let us have it. That's so fun. And I love when we cast it to the TV and we all Tinder in the lounge together and we all go yes or no together.

Yeah, I've done that a few times, but on our friend's Grindr account. Very different, eh? Yeah, probably not the best to cast it up onto the TV, depending on who's in the room. Oh, that's a good point. 65 inches. That's a big TV. You were saying that your one evening back on the dating apps

made you realise that you have a very specific ick at the moment. Yeah. So when you cycle through all the pictures of people, you kind of like, you have to make a snap judgement. And it could be based on anything. Usually it's like if you see a fish, you go, nah. Or you see a big car, you're like, nah. Or their star sign.

Yeah, literally their star sign. But what I've noticed about myself, and I feel like it's the opposite to what most people would think, when I see specifically men with really, really thick hair on the top of their heads, it's an immediate no. And I don't know why. You don't like a man with a thick head of hair? But like really extra thick.

You know, some people have like double the amount of hair on top of their heads. I do know what you're talking about. It's like an odd amount. Yeah, like where it's so thick. I have no idea what you're saying. Are you saying you prefer a bald man? No.

Kind of like a dog that has three coats. Yeah, like a triple coated man. And you just look at them and you're like, God, that would be hard to tame. You try to run your fingers through and they just stop. Oh, I have a forehead of hair. Is this what you're talking about? No, you have lovely hair. Oh, thank you. Yeah, but double your hair. Imagine. Or triple. Oh, so density.

Yes. Hair density. Hair density. Lots and lots and lots of hair. Oh, these poor fellas. See, that's, you shut them down straight away. They can't help that. That is a very specific art. They didn't even know. It's so shallow. That they were icking you out. All they did was take a picture of themselves. But you can't help that. That is a very specific act. They didn't even know that they were icking you out. All they did was take a picture of themselves. But the heart

wants what the heart wants. Yeah, you can't fault me. And the heart hates what the heart hates. Similar to that, a specific ick for me back in the day was I couldn't date anyone that had a double crown. Oh, interesting. And you know why? Why?

And if you don't know what a double crown is, that's because you wouldn't have one. Like if you have a double crown, you know about it. It's where you, instead of one swirl in the back of your head, you've got two swirls. And the reason why I was so against dating someone with that is because I have it. And imagine if we procreate it.

Yeah, it's like 100% chance. It'd be four crowns. It's quadruple crowns. It's nothing but crown. You know? It'd be so hard. They're coming out and the doctor's like, they're crowning.

The kid would look like one of those soft serve ice creams when it came out, wouldn't it? This kid's crowning four times. Get this kid in Netflix The Crown. Yeah, you know, just not good. Specifics are fun to talk about, and it's just the thing, it's kind of personal to you. It's the thing that nobody can help,

but you've just decided when a person has this thing or the person on the apps does this thing, you're like, nah, can't get past that. Another one for me is when people wear undies under their board shorts. Like just choose one. Pick one. No, no, no.

I'll stand up for undies under their board short men here. We don't know what to do. Yeah, no, it's weird. Don't swim in your undies. No, we don't know what to do. Just wear nothing. Because the board shorts have no lining. Our board shorts have no lining.

So our Willie just rummages around. And excuse me. You're not buying a good pair of board shorts. Excuse me. So our willy just rubbages around. And excuse me. You're not buying a good pair of board shorts. Excuse me. Give me a chance here. In trends recently, togs for men have gotten shorter. And there's no lining. There's not even those little neat undies in there anymore.

It's not safe. You get in the water and your junk's just dangling around. Buy a pair of budgie smugglers. Stop wearing your undies. Don't wear your Kelvins in the water. You know? Oh, my God. That's such a good solution.

Oh, my God. To wear budgie smugglers under your board shorts. I thought you were taking the piss out of me. Have you not thought about that? I've never thought about that. I've genuinely never thought about that. Are you joking? No, I'm not joking.

That is a genius solution to the issue. I think it's a real basic concept. Very obvious. that I have just said out loud and you have never thought about. Why did you tell me this at the end of summer? That's such a good idea. I can't tell if he's taking the piss out of me.

I'm not taking the piss. You could ask my wife. I had this exact conversation with her at the start of summer. I said, I don't know whether to freeball inside my tog shorts or not. She goes, yeah, well, that's a hard one for you to work out. And she didn't help me at all. My dad used to wear budgie smugglers under his board shorts.

He's a classy man. I didn't have a father who educated me in the subtleties of board shorts, did I? Your dad used to go free rider. Your dad used to go whale rider underneath, eh? Dad's like, let it out, man.

Oh, free willy. Make them deal with it. Oh, I hundred dials to them. Is it men with undies under their board shorts? Or what is it? What is your specific? That's what we want to know about this afternoon. I can't believe you've never thought of that.

I'm going to shop for some Speedos right now. You should. Dead ends, Franklin. We're talking about specifics, the very specific thing that gives you the ick. Brie brought up the idea of men who wear undies under their board shorts and blew my mind with the idea that you could just wear Speedos under there because I have grappled with the undie issue before.

I know it doesn't look good, but I was like, what am I supposed to do? Yeah, how have you not figured that out? You wear budgie smugglers under your board shorts. There's a text here that says, oh, my God, I'm as shocked as Clint about the budgie smuggler thing. I'm on Rebel Sport right now looking at Speedos. And then this text that says, I'd rather ick a few women out with underwear underneath my board shorts

than walk around looking like a transparent sausage casing. No, because you've got your board shorts on over the top. Someone else said, how are budgie smugglers different from undies? They're different. I'll support you there. They are different. Budgie smugglers are made to wear into the water. They're made from a different material.

They have a drawstring. They have a different waistband. Different waistband. Yeah. They're different all around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, you haven't worn your budgie smugglers like a million times, so they're probably not ratty looking.

I am on Rebel Sport trying to buy these budgie smugglers. The issue is they don't come in small, medium, large. They come in inches, and I've never bought a pair before. You're a four, aren't you? There's a big disclaimer on the top of the website that says, we do not accept returns for this type of clothing. Do you guys not have that little plastic sticker in the crotch of? Ooh, no, I've seen that in your guys' togs.

Yeah. Yeah. But I just keep my undies on, like when I'm trying on togs. Yeah, thank you. On behalf of the tog industry. But I don't need the sticker then, because I just try them on over my undies. So do you take the sticker out? No.

You're like, I'm not putting a sticker on. No, you're not meant to touch the sticker, but every time I see it, I'm like, how many foofs have touched this sticker? True. You know? True. Okay. Specifics. Nina is here. Hi, Nina. Hi, Nina. Hi. Hi. What's your specific?

My ick is blonde men. Blonde men? Blonde men. It reminds me of children. I just can't do it. Wow. Really? What about Liam Lawson?

No, I wouldn't. The only person I might accept is Heath Ledger, but that's it. I just can't do it. Yeah, but he's dead, so no risk. That's what... Exactly. I just can't do it. Yeah, but he's dead, so no risk. That's what... Exactly, so now... You've chosen a dead guy, so there's no risk of you ever having to kiss a blonde guy.

No, and my brother's kind of blonde, so I couldn't for that reason too. What, you couldn't hook up with your brother for that reason? Yeah, someone's been watching White Lotus. No, I couldn't, yeah. Well, I'm glad about that, Nicky. I'm not going to lie. Your brother will be gutted, but we're glad not going to lie Your brother will be gutted

But we're glad to hear it Your brother will be devo He'll die his hair Nicky's here Hi Nicky Hey guys Nicky you don't want to hook up With your brother do you

No Do you want to hook up With Nina's brother Because Nina's leaving him Out in the cold Oh poor Nina's brother Yeah I know He'll find someone

Probably another one Of his sisters maybe What is your specific Nicky Oh it's so unreasonable Oh, poor Nina's brother. Yeah, I know. He'll find someone, probably another one of his sisters, maybe. What is your specific, Nikki? Oh, it's so unreasonable, but men's toes and sandals. Like, in-toed sandals. Like, Birk or... Like a Birkenstock. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. Really? And is it every style of Birkenstock or specific styles? Yeah, no, it's being able to see all the toes, I think. Can I ask you, though, because it's tough living in New Zealand, are you okay with men's toes in a jandle? I am okay with jandles. Wow, so you're not itched by men's toes,

you're just itched by them in an open-toe sandal. Yeah, and I think it's because men's toes are often, and I'm stereotyping here, is that they're often in either a shoe or a work boot for work. So when they're out and about, they are usually quite pale. Yeah. Nikki, it's kind of like seeing, you know, when you're at school, it's kind of like seeing your teacher at the supermarket, you know?

It's not right. It's not right. You can't tell exactly what it is, but it's just not okay. It's not right. They just look a bit weird. We asked for the X to be specific, and it was specific, Nikki. I like how specific it was. Thank you very much.

There's some more here that we should go through. Someone said, chunky Velcro sandals with hairy dogs sticking out. Similar to Nikki. Well, that same person's just texted and said, yes, Nikki. There you go. Specific icks they shared. Someone else said, guys with long nails. Oh, okay.

Yeah, there is something about, I don't know. Get those nails cut before you date, fellas. And a lot of guitarists have one hand with longer nails on it. Yeah. They do. Yeah, they do. You better be a bloody good guitarist. Someone else texted and said, we asked

what's your specific? And someone said, I'm a lesbian. And I get the ick from photos of lesbians with pets. Big ick. And 99% of dating profiles have them. I'm stuffed. If that person is still listening, are there particular pets that give you bigger

icks? Yeah. You know, like Should Claudia take down Her picture with her and her dog On her dating profile My best picture Or Should she take down The picture of her and her cat

Yeah Like which one is giving you The bigger ick What's your specific Someone said Shiny bald heads Massive ick I'm eight months pregnant

And guess whose husband Just shaved his head Oh no Ugh Oh no That person also messaged back The lesbian lesbian, and they said all of them. All pits. All pits.

Yeah, right. Okay. Do you remember the specific ick that I've talked about on this show that I got back in the day? No. When I was dating this lovely, lovely guy, good looking, like just a sweetheart, and he had knees that hyperextended. Oh.

Claudia's losing it. Claudia knows what I mean. So when he was standing up straight, his knees had a bow to them but like a curve, a concave. Yeah, and people sometimes, you can have elbows that hyperextend as well but it's specifically knees that weird me out. And it's so, like, stupid because, and I don't know what it is, but when I saw it, I was like, I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now when you're dating someone, you're like, send me a picture of you in shorts standing up. Side on. Side on. Confession time. I got pulled over by the police on my way to work today. What for?

Speeding and running a red light. Both? You got done for both? No, no, no. Not running a red light. Speeding through an orange light. Which is technically. Which is technically. Which is technically, which is all bad. It's all bad.

You can't speed up to go through a yellow light. And it's silly and I shouldn't have done it. And you know what? There was a bit of universal karma about it too because when I got closer to the city, there was a diversion because someone had been bloody T-boned in the middle of an intersection. And I had this moment where I went, okay, I learned my lesson when it happened, but

the lesson was backed up, like karmically, when I got closer to town. Was the popo nice to you? Did the popo recognise you? No, the popo didn't recognise me. Are you sure? Yeah, definitely, because he asked me. He was really nice. He was really good, but I did feel like...

So did you get fined? I did feel like my dad was telling me off. I did not get fined. Why did you not get fined? You're breaking two laws. He talked to me and he said, look, why? Why? He goes, why were you speeding?

How did you get out of the ticket? I said, look, there's no good excuse for what I was doing. There's no good excuse. The reason is I'm running late for a photo shoot at work. And he goes, what's the photo shoot for? And I said, a radio station. What radio station do you work for? Oh, was he a fan of mine?

Yeah, yes. And that's why he left you off? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're welcome. He took my license and he did all other things and he said to me, I'm not going to fine you, but you need to have a hard think about what you're doing. So wait, did you use your radio show and your name to get off a ticket?

No, no, no, no. Did you tell him what you did for work? Did that come up? No, no. Well, yes. Yes, but he asked. He asked. That's what I meant.

So did you naturally lead him down a path where you could say to him? Oh, I see. No, I don't believe so because he was holding my driver's licence, so he knew what my name was. You don't believe so? I don't think I did, no. So what did you end up saying? That I was very sorry and that I understood why what I was doing

was the wrong thing to do, which I meant, by the way. I genuinely meant it. But police officers, man, they have this ability to send you back to, like, childhood when they speak to you. Good ones do. Good ones do. Well, it's authority. Yeah, it is.

You know, and when they speak to you, like it's the only facet in your adult life where you get spoken to in that way. Whereas like when you're a child, there's multiple people in your life that could speak to you in that way. Whereas when you get older, I was literally thinking about this the other day. Like they have to actually punish you. They're the ones that punish you.

Yeah, but I have reflected on it a bit, and I think that it meant more, and I learnt my lesson more by him not fining me, by being let off and being told by this police officer that... What a load of crap!

No, I do! I do, because if I'd got a ticket, if I'd... No,. I do because if I'd got a ticket, if I... No, think about it. If I'd got a ticket... So now you don't want to disappoint that police officer. A little bit. If I'd got a $200 ticket

or whatever it costed, I would have been angry about the fact that I got a ticket. Where am I going to find the money to pay this? But actually, he made me think about what I'd done. He gave me the old,

I'm not angry, I'm disappointed in you. Disappointed in you. So what you're saying is that we should change the laws in this country where you just get a telling off from the police officer and that will actually be better. For some things, yeah.

I can't believe you broke two laws and then he still let you off. No, no, I broke one law. You broke two. You can't speed through a yellow light. Orange, yeah. Well. That's a law. No, it was all under one thing.

It was all under one thing. And then were you doing, like, how many kilometres over the speed limit? I asked him that. I said, how fast was I going? And he said, didn't have the radar going on. But it wouldn't have been that fast. Yeah, right. Yeah.

He said to me, he goes, the car in front of you was going pretty fast as well, wasn't it? God, did you become best friends with this guy? Yeah. Someone just texted and said, huh, try having a cop for a dad. Yeah, true. They'd be able to do it double time because they are both a cop and your dad. Yeah, God, can you imagine the telling off you would get from your cop dad? And then he could handcuff you.

Why are we going down this path again? Well, you could if you were really bad. Anyway, I've learned my lesson, okay? And you got that cop's number, which is a plus as well. You know, it's an all-round good day for you. ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. The T, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, who's the next big star going on the Call Her Daddy podcast?

Oh, my goodness. Big star, superstar, Chapel Roan is the guest on this week's Call Her Daddy podcast hosted by Alex Cooper. Now, what's cool about this is obviously Chapel Roan really likes to share her authentic self. I think we're going to get some really, really great info and intel on her life because she's such a unique character, isn't she? She's actually said, one little clip of it has been released, she said that her younger self would not even be able to register what her life has become now. And that's a really good point as well.

Have we ever talked about the Madison Beer Chapel Roan story together on the show? No. What's that story, Dean? Okay. I got to tell you the tea. So the record label, there was a record, I don't know which record label it was, but they had signed Madison Beer and Chapel Roan. And they decided that Madison Beer was going to be the big star. They were like, okay, let's focus on her. So they dropped Chapel Rhone to focus on Madison Beer. And then, of course, two years later, Chapel Rhone then

releases her music with a new, different label and obviously becomes, I mean, really. Isn't that wild that they actually chose Madison? God, I wonder who's the record executive that got fired for that big mistake. That Call Her Daddy podcast is a monster.

And that interview will be very good because nothing is out of bounds with Chapel Roan. And nothing goes unsaid on the Call Her Daddy podcast, if you know what we mean. I'm so excited for this episode because you're right. I feel like Chapel Roan definitely isn't someone who is afraid to actually tell the truth and share quite a lot of details and I have heard that she goes into

specific details about relationship stuff. And being in a relationship now. Yeah, exactly. So that's going to be a good one to listen to. That's the tea with Dean McCarthy. He's a Hollywood correspondent. The ZM Podcast Network. I caught up with a friend

last night and we were talking about her relationship that she's, it's a new relationship. I think they've been together for about 12 months or so, so still pretty new. And she was telling me about this issue that she's been having in her relationship that makes her feel a little bit weird.

Yeah. And it's the fact that someone within that relationship has been calling her the wrong name. Someone in the relationship? Yeah, someone that's connected. Is it the person Example Not example

The person who it is is her partner's mum Ah okay So someone that's connected How many people are in this relationship Right okay So the mum Her partner's Of her boyfriend

Her partner's mum is calling her the wrong name And she said to me, because it gets even more awkward because she's calling her by his ex-girlfriend's name. And she said to me, the first couple of times that it happened, she was like, understandable. Him and her dated, I believe, for quite a few years. Yeah. Mistakes happen.

Yeah. And maybe she loved that girl. This is the thing, right? Maybe mum had a real bond with her. Well, my friend. Like the daughter she never had. Said to me, she's like, now I don't know. It's 12 months down the track.

Oh, 12 months. Well, they've been together for 12 months. Yeah. It's 12 months down the track. Oh, 12 months? Well, they've been together for 12 months. It's 12 months down the track and it's still happening. And now I don't know whether the mum is doing it on purpose or not. Yeah, no, 12 months not on. I get it if it's within the first few times you hang out together.

Yeah, it's an accident. But 12 months. Yeah, you would start to take it a bit personally. Yeah. She's like, it's But 12 months. Yeah, you would start to take it a bit personally. Yeah. She's like, it's not every time. Yeah. But every now and then, like when we go over to their house or like, you know, we hang out with them. At least once she will accidentally call me by his ex's name. My uncle tells me that my dad called my mum by his ex-girlfriend's name for the

first six months that they dated. What? Yeah. Honestly, how did your dad... How did my dad, yeah, I know. Manage to reel in the saint that is your mother? How am I here? How did the stars align to the point that he was able to...

Honestly, I feel like your mum, absolute saint of a woman. How long would you put up with it? Your mum clearly, like, loves to do a bit of charity work. You know? She's Mother Teresa. Because, like, come on, what is your dad doing for six months? How long would you put up with it if your new love interest

was calling you by their ex's name? My actual love interest not the mum or the dad. No, your actual partner. I don't know if I'd put up with that for longer than a day. I think the first time you would have a bit of a laugh. Yeah, I mean accidents

happen. The second time you'd be like are you serious? And the third time you'd go, no, no, wait stop. What's going on here? What is going on? Clearly you're not over this person. What are you thinking about them when you're with me? I think it also depends on, yeah, when they call you the wrong name.

Oh, absolutely. You know? Like if it's you're doing chores and I'm washing up the dishes and you accidentally call me that name, very different to. But at the same time, it all. It all adds up. A psychologist will probably tell you every situation means something different.

Like if you do it when you're relaxing around the house and you use your ex's name, does that mean that you associate like relaxed, calm situations to your ex? Well, let's not read too far into it or else people... There's going to be a lot of breakups. Or if you do it in the throes of passion,

does that mean that you are thinking of that person? That's my worst nightmare. Yeah. I feel like that's a lot of people's worst nightmare because I don't know how you come back from that. Yeah. You know? You gaslight them, I think.

Yeah, that's, I mean, it's the only option. You go, did you just call me Beverly? And they go, no, you're crazy. Like, what are you talking about? Hello, Audica Hearing Centre? I need to check my girlfriend in for an appointment because she's hearing things. How dare you bring up that name?

How dare you? I don't want to do it now. I'm not in the mood. Nah, you've ruined the mood. No, you killed the mood by bringing her up. Yeah, that's good. I think that's a good option. We want to know who was using the wrong name.

And this can be in any context. It could be with a partner. It could be your in-laws were doing it. It could be your boss. And you let it go for too long and now you can't correct your boss that your name is actually something else other than what they've been calling you. Do you reckon that's actually happened? Yeah.

Yeah. Like how long? Yeah. Well, we just call Claudia Claudia you. Do you reckon that's actually happened? Yeah. Yeah. Like how long? Yeah. Well, we just called Claudia, Claudia because. What is your real name, Claudia? It's actually Kevin. Alejandro. I knew it was.

We're going to continue to call you Claudia. It's ingrained. 0800-DARZITM or text 9696. We want to know who was getting your name wrong. Yeah, and for how long. Or when were you getting someone else's name wrong? Or that too. Give us a call now or give us a text on 9696.

It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Oh, these texts are so good. We're asking you this afternoon, when did someone get your name wrong? Or did you get someone's name wrong? Someone said calling someone the wrong name can be a weird power move. You know? Yeah, it can be a. Yeah.

Where you're like, I don't know if they're doing it on purpose or not. And that's what your friend's mum, that's what we're worried that she could be doing. Calling the new girlfriend by the old girlfriend's name 12 months on. Yeah. From the relationship starting. At the start, she was like, I kind of get it, you know, but we're 12 months in now and the mum's still calling me by his ex's name. It's weird. Let's go to Victoria. Hi, Victoria. Hi, Victoria. Hi. Who's getting the name wrong? Well,

my husband was best man at his best friend's wedding many, many years ago. Okay. And his best friend's name was Paul. And Paul had gone out with a girl called Jeanette for quite a few years. And then they broke up suddenly. And he had this whirlwind romance with a girl called Jet

and married her. Yeah. And when my husband got up to do his speech at the wedding, he said, I'd like to welcome everybody to Paul and Jeanette's wedding. Oh, no. Worst possible place to do it. And the room just went quiet.

I bet it did. The room shouldn't go quiet. The room should erupt with laughter. You know, that's the way you get out of it. Quiet is so awkward. He should have said he should have thought on his feet and just said, sorry, that was my draft speech from a few years ago. Yes.

Yeah. It was a terrible foot and mouth moment. Absolutely. Poor bugger. Bloody Paul. Someone said, my name's Angela, but most of my family call me Linda. That is my twin. She lives in a different country. Stupid family.

That's just getting the person wrong. What about this one? My name is Jolie, and my hairdresser thought for 12 years that my name was Jolie. And when I was telling people at work about the mix-up, two people said, I thought the same thing. We thought you were Jolie, too. No, I'm Jolie. And when I was telling people at work about the mix-up, two people said, I thought the same thing. We thought you were Jolie too. No, I'm Jolie. No, Jolie, not Jolie. That's what we said, Jolie.

No, Jolie. Jolie? Jolie. Jackie is here. Hi, Jackie. Hi, Jackie. Hi, guys. How are you going?

Good, thank you. Tell us, did someone get your name wrong or were you getting someone else's name wrong? Yes, I was called my husband's ex for about seven years. Seven years? Wait, what? By who? By my husband.

Oh, by your husband? Yeah, by my father-in-law and my brother-in-law. Oh my God. For some reason, their my father-in-law and my brother-in-law. Oh, my God. For some reason, her name stuck. Is her name anything like Jackie? Yeah, it is. I'm not going to say her name. No, you have to say it.

Jacqueline? Well, I'm Jacqueline. Okay. But I'm known by Jackie. Yeah. And her name is Jess. Jess. Oh, I mean, it's not that similar.

It's not that similar. That's not a good excuse. Well, it's not that similar. That's not a good excuse. Well, it's not, but for them it was. Seven years. Wow. And I can't believe all of them were crap at it. Oh, they were just rubbish. But at the end, it was actually really funny.

Now, finally, after eight years, they're now starting to call her, if she comes up in conversation, my name. So I'm like, I don't know. Why? No, no, stop, no, stop. Why is your husband's ex-girlfriend still coming up in conversation seven years after you guys got together? Well, that's another conversation.

That's a whole other conversation, Jackie. Yeah, why? You're too nice. You need to stand up for yourself. My boyfriend's dad calls me Sandra. My name is Kaylee. The first time we met, he told me he looked like the first girl he ever got with whose name was Sandra.

Creepy. Yeah, that's so yuck. Creepy from dad. What is going on there? Creepy. Come on, dad. Lock it down. Amber's here.

Hi, Amber. Hi, Amber. It was you getting the name wrong, Amber. It was. I don't even know how it started, to be honest. It was a driver that was just across the road and I just, one day I thought he was George and I said, he was an elderly gentleman. I just started calling him George.

Right. One day he came up two and a half years after I'd been calling him George with his co-worker and I said, morning George, how are you? And she said, and who the hell are you talking to? And I said, who the hell am I talking to? And she said, he's Bruce. Bruce! And I said, how come you never corrected me? He said, who the hell am I talking to? And she said, he's Bruce. Bruce! And I said, how come you never corrected me?

He said, because it just rolled off your tongue. Yeah. How many years were you calling him George? Two and a half, three. Oh, my God. He's George. He's George now. And you're here to hear.

But you know what? When you just said about that father-in-law calling someone the wrong name, my father-in-law, I've been with my husband 25 years. Now, I met my father-in-law like three years after I'd been going out with my husband, and he said to me, are you still the same one? No. He didn't even bother to learn anything about you.

And then he called his son his nephew's name. So come on now. Are you still the same one? I'm not joking. He called his son, who is called Carl, he called him by his nephew's name. And it is not Carl, okay? It's not fucking Carl.

Oh, sorry. Oh, Emma. I'm so sorry. Emma, Emma, Emma. I wouldn't say. I'm sorry. It's okay. You're passionate.

No, and she deserves to be passionate. I can't believe he said that to her. She also deserves to be on hold, which she is. Thank you, Amber. Thank you, Amber, we appreciate it. I was working with a guy named Dan. I thought his name was Neville, so I kept calling him Nevy for nine to ten months.

He then turned around at Smoko and said, why do you call me Nevy? And I told him, Neville, that's your name, isn't it? And he said, nah, bro, my name is Dan. I was absolutely dead. That's so bad. A lot of work, like colleague ones, like this one, my manager still calls me by an incorrect name

and it's been three years. I don't have the heart to keep telling him that's not my name. Can you imagine how awkward that would be? Like after a certain amount of time, you can't correct someone. I have a colleague whose name is Mary Claire. After five years, I just found out that Claire is her surname. It's just Mary. Oh, that's so embarrassing.

You're like, that's my last name. You found out her last name is Claire and you're like, wow, your name's Mary Claire Claire. That's a buzzy name. That's a buzzy name, Mary Claire Claire. That's crazy, bro. And congratulations on the magazine too. A ZM's Brinklin Podcast.

We're playing some Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? Yeah. It's time for Brinklin's Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Time to Google Down where you could win some KFC chicken dollars. All you have to do is pick the winner and it makes it even easier this week

because producer Ella is off six. So you have two choices, either Clint or Claudia ticks them through to 9696. Could be a record short game this week. Might be pretty quick. I'll get it done in three, guys. You reckon? That's what Clint says all the time. To his wife.

Promise. Promise, I'll get it done in three. You won't even know I've been there. In and out. Please. Please come on. Please. We don't even have to take anything off.

Were you there? We'll play Google Down straight after this. Play Zed In's Bree and Clint. Let's play Google Down. Do you. Play Zeddy's Bree and Clint. Let's play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk.

Here we go. Another week of Google Down to see who is the fastest Googler. And they will be playing for you. If you've text through either Clint or Claudia, producer Ella is away. So it's a head-to-head battle. Grrr. Grrr. Grrr.

Here are the rules. I've put these questions into Google. First person to yell out the correct answer wins a point. First to three takes home the win. Are we ready? Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Question number one. Roughly, how long do praying mantises live for? 10 to 12 months. About a year. I'll give it to you, Claude. Woohoo. But I also would have given it to Clint. So lucky you got into it. Shame he was so slow.

Shade. Question number two. Who won the most Grammys at the 2002 Awards? Alicia Keys. Whoa. Come on, you know who got that. You know who got that. You know. You know who got that. You know who got that. You know.

You know who got that. Do the right thing. I'm going to say it's a did he. Oh, my God. I'll give you both a point. Two to Claude, one to Clint. We move on to question three. Where does the Dalmatian breed originate from?

Croatia. Was that a guess? Well, it's Dalmatian. So you call people from Croatia. I didn't know that. Don't you call them Croatians? Yeah, I thought they were Croatians. Yeah, but the Dalmatian Club here in Auckland,

it's where the Croatians hang out. What a weird fact to know. Wait, is that not for spotty dogs? Nah. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My bad. So you're telling me that spotty dogs aren't meeting up there on a Wednesday night?

Well, they might have some, but... So where do the spotty dogs meet up? Fire station. Fire station. Oh, yeah. Not at Cruella DeVille's house, I'll tell you that for free. Good one. All right.

Very impressive. Give me another one that I can get off the top of the dome. No, give me one I can get off the top of the dome. That means we're two all, I believe. This is for the win. Here we go. Question number four. Who invented the Hill's Hoist clothesline?

Lance Hill. Claudia just got it there. Started her answer first. I have to give it to her. Levi, well done. You picked Claudia correctly. You've got 50 give it to her. Levi, well done. You picked Claudia correctly. You've got 50 KFC chicken dollars.

Well done, Levi. Oh, my God. Yay. Thank you so much. No worries. You're very welcome. The bird's on us tonight. Then it's all me and my partner. Thank you so much.

You're very welcome, Levi. God, that was tight, that game. That was a good game, though. It was really good. Me too, and I wasn't even playing. Zed-Anne's Brie and Clint Podcast. Brie and Clint's Gator. Let's rock.

Oh, yeah. It returns for another week. Brie and Clint's Gator, where we endeavour to figure out, just by vibe only if you are a part of the queer community. Yeah. You said you want to change the vibe. Yeah, because I thought last week there was a few questions

and it wasn't your fault, mainly questions. I would say they were leading questions. Like you asking women if they own Doc Martens or not. Makes it too easy, eh? Makes it a bit too easy and I feel like it's a bit unfair. You asked one of the women if she owned a sleeveless vest. Yeah, a bit of a giveaway. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Too obvious. In some instances. So I think we make it a bit harder. Like if I asked a man, did you see Wicked in theatres? Yeah. And how many times?icked in theatres? Yeah. And how many times? Sorry, how many times did you see Wicked in theatres? Exactly. So I reckon we can ask questions

but they can't be that pointed. Okay, give me an example of a question I could ask. You could ask how long have you currently worked at your job for? Oh, okay. You know, or... What is a gay amount of time to work a job?

That's what I mean. It's not a pointed question. It's not giving you... Or is it? More information. Depends how finely tuned your gaydar is. I see what you're getting at. Maybe.

Yeah. I don't know. We'll see how we go. You can play no matter where you sit on the spectrum. We would like you to call 0800 DIAL ZM right now to play Brianne Clint's Gaydar. We will guess just by talking to you. If you are or you aren't.

It's easy, it's simple, and if you want to be a part of it, we'd love to have you. Everyone is welcome. 0800 DIAL ZM for Brianne Clint's Gaydar right now. Like an example of a question you couldn't ask. Do you know what this song's about? question you couldn't ask? Two, three. Do you know what this song's about? Would you hook up with Chapel Rose?

Yeah. And yet, do you know what these lyrics mean? It is Brie and Clint. Time for Gaydar. Brie and Clint's Gaydar. Let's rock. Let's rock indeed. The game, the only game on radio that will correctly guess whether you're gay or not.

Correct. You heard it here first. Only place that you can get this done. Right here, right now. We get the job done. We sure do. Bree has an immaculate record in this game. You have a 100% track record.

I feel like it's been a little bit of a float. Over two games. She's nine from nine. Yeah, that's pretty good. I got one in my first week. You did well last week, though. But last week I did okay. You did.

Okay, so was that a fluke? Let's hit the phones for Gaydar. Mark's here. Hi, Mark. Hi, Mark. How are you going, guys? All right? Yeah, good.

Thank you, Mark. What do you do for work? Me? I'm a sign writer. A sign writer. Oh, okay. That's your question gone, by the do you do for work? Me? I'm a sign writer. A sign writer. Oh, okay. That's your question gone, by the way. Yep.

That's fine. I'm fine with that. No leading questions this week. So, Mark, do you prefer your Coke from a can or a bottle? Probably drink it out of the can, to be honest. Me too. Yeah, I quite like it out of the can. Oh, a glass bottle, though, does things to me.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. What if the can. Oh, a glass bottle, though, does things to me. Yeah. Oh, yeah, what if the bottle was glass, Mark? It was fancy. No, it's still good out of the can. Mark's not gay, is what my gay dad says. Don't tell us yet. Mark, Brie needs to vote. I reckon he is.

You reckon he is? I'm going to go opposite of you. Okay. Yeah. Mark, you gay? Brie is correct. I'm gay to go opposite of you. Okay. Yep. Mark, you gay? Ray is correct. I'm gay. Yeah! God, she's good. I got nothing off you, Mark. I got absolutely

nothing. You had good vibes, Mark. I was trying to keep a front up then to see if I could fool her, but no, it didn't work. I got you, Mark. Were you doing your straightest voice, were you, Mark? Well, I was trying, so yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was pretty good. I'm not going to lie. It was pretty bloody good. You got me. Let's go to Phoebe. Hi, Phoebe. Hi, Phoebe. Pheebs.

Hello. Hello. Welcome to Gator. Hello. Thank you for having me. No leading questions this week. No leading questions. I'm going to go with this.

Phoebe, during the pandemic, did you play Pokemon Go? No, I did not. Okay, interesting. Phoebe, do you have siblings? I have one older sister. Okay, and do you get along?

Sometimes, yeah. Okay, interesting. Ooh. I've got, ooh. I'm really not getting a lot here. I'm really not getting a lot. We can ask another question that's not leading. Okay. What are your hobbies?

Ooh, I can't really say on the radio. Oh, yeah, okay, there we go. I know. Why do you know of that? Because I think her hobbies might identify her her interests. What's a gay hobby?

Oh, shit. I'm finding myself so uncomfortable in this game sometimes. No, I'm interested to know what's a gay hobby. Oh, I don't know. Anything you're into?

Phoebe, I think Phoebe, I think I'm right. I'm just I think you're gay. Butebe, I think I'm right. I'm just... I think you're gay. But don't tell us yet. Bree's got to... Phoebe,

my gaydar is absolutely going ballistic for you. I think you're gay. I am gay. Yes! Yes, come on over, Phoebe. And what are your hobbies, Phoebe? Not what you thought, but something else that is illegal.

Okay. She's a gay criminal. Producer Claude, can you ask Phoebe what it is just so we can know? Yeah, find out. Yeah, I'm interested. And ask her what she's doing this weekend. She sounds fun to hang out with. Yeah, she does sound fun.

Lauren, welcome to Gaydar. Hello, Lauren. Oh, hi, she's doing this weekend. She sounds fun to hang out with. Yeah, she does sound fun. Lauren, welcome to Gaydar. Hello, Lauren. Oh, hi, that's me. That is you. Lauren, what kind of car do you drive? A Mazda CX-5. Okay. Okay.

I don't think I need any more questions. Really? But you asked your question. Don't say anything, Lauren. Lauren, what's the best day of the week and why? Saturday because the next day is another day off. Okay. Oh, that's a good answer. Good answer.

Lauren's straight. Lauren, your car choice gave it away. You're a straighty 180. It totally gave it away. You're a straighty 180. If you had a Subaru Forester, we would have had other... Then it would have been a dead giveaway, Lauren. Lauren's so gutted that we guessed she was straight. Lauren's like, no, I want her to be gay.

Yeah, okay, thank you, Lauren. Lauren, you're straight, but you sound like a lot of fun. Lise is here. Hi, Lise. Hi, Lise. Sup, y'all. How's it? It's not too bad.

Thanks, Lise. How's things for you? Cool, cool. Cool, cool. Yeah. Having a giggle? Do you enjoy this segment, Lise? I enjoy all you guys doing the album.

College. Wainui College. Wainui College. Okay. It's a vibe. What... How often do you get your hair cut, Lise? Ooh.

It was about once every year or three, and now I just cut it myself every couple of years. That's like me. I cut my hair myself. And, yeah, and it looks the same as a hairdresser, so it's like, well, save the money. I think Lisa's gay. Yeah, go on.

I reckon as well. Lisa, you gay? Sorry, brief. Oh! You've got us! I am a tomboy, but a straight tomboy. There you go. Straight tomboy.

That's the winner of Birthday Banger today for Sarah from the year 2000. That's Beyonce and Destiny's Child, Independent Woman. Part one. Oh yeah, was there a part two? Did they ever do a part two?

Let's have a quick look. I feel like... Independent... I feel like I do remember hearing part two. Yeah, right. But it sounded awfully similar. Put it this way, we don't have it, if it exists. Interesting.

Part of me wanted to play that Maroon 5 song. But I know it's not a banger, but it is a banger, if you know what I mean. Fun fact about just going back to Destiny's Child, Independent Woman. Fun fact about that song. Beyonce had written that song. They had that song ready to go and they were like, this is the song we want to release. And I believe it was Beyonce's dad that was like,

we need to collaborate with Charlie's Angels. Oh, yeah, yeah. And make it the Charlie's Angels song. And Beyonce was like, absolutely not. And there was a fight about it. Really? And then they ended up doing it, obviously. It was perfect. And it was literally perfect. It was the, absolutely not. And there was a fight about it. Really? And then they ended up doing it, obviously. It was perfect.

And it was literally perfect. It was the perfect soundtrack song. And one of their biggest songs, yeah. Yeah. Fun fact, our Gin Z producer Ella doesn't know what Charlie's Angels is. Then she goes, what's that? What's that? ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.

I saw a very interesting theory about how to tell whether or not a man is single. Oh, okay. And it's based. Ask his girlfriend. I mean, that is a good, that is. A chick with his wife. A good place to start. No, but this is based on what type of dog he has.

Ah. I love this because I feel like it's quite spot on. This girl has given her two cents on what type of dogs single men have. Single men have. Take a listen. If he has like a Kelpie

or a Boxer or like another big dingo looking dog, yeah, he's single. If he's got a Cavoodle, he has a fiancé at home. If he's got a he's got a cavoodle he has a fiance at home if he's got a german short head pointer he's like most likely single labrador or golden retriever he has a partner if it is some sort of like lab cross single unless it's a labradoodle in which case not single if he has a frenchie he's gay if he has two frenchies he's married and straight wow that's specific.

It's so specific. I thought we could run through a few of our own and test the theory. Yeah, sure. And just see if we're like united and connected on this. Yeah. Okay, first one I've got down is if you're at the dog park, you see a guy with a border collie

what are we thinking? I think going off her logic, he's single. He's single. I agree. He's got a working dog. I was about to go full gaydar on him and be like, straight. But no, single. No, gaydar was earlier in the show.

This is straight. Claudia's like, straight, single, into blondes. This is single or not single. Ready to settle down. What's another one? What's another dog we could use? I was listening to that. I was hoping she was going to do German Shepherd.

German Shepherd. German Shepherd. I would say... Single. Has a girlfriend. I would say has a girlfriend too. Yeah. I feel like it takes more than one person to look after a German Shepherd.

Yeah, because it's a lot of brushing hair. It's a lot of responsibility. And if he's up for a lot of responsibility, he probably has a partner. Yeah, I reckon. This is completely unscientific by the way, but I feel like we're on the right track. It's just off the vibe. What about a husky? Ooh. Ooh.

He's not single. No. He's got a partner. If he's got a husky, yeah. Because all the guys I know with huskies have partners. Yeah. Husky's a lot of work too. You're not getting a husky on your own. No. You know? No. But if you've got two huskies. Ooh. Two huskies, what does that mean? You're a sled driver.

Yes. Yeah. And? You work at the snow. Yeah, yeah. And two huskies, not enough to pull two people on a sled. So you're a single sled driver. Yeah, that's good.

That's good. Now we're getting down to it. Now we're getting there. Yeah. It's nuanced, but it's good. That's good. Now we're getting down to it. Now we're getting there. Yeah. It's nuanced, but it's good, I think. What about a Maltese couple?

Let me just check what a Maltese is. In a relationship. Little white dog. In a relationship. The girl forced him to get the Maltese. He agreed to get a dog, but not that one. Yeah. She's like, well, this is the only dog I want. Maltese is the dirty white dog. Maltese is a cute.

Maltese is a pointless. Crusty white dog. It's a pointless dog. I love the Maltese. I want to stand up for the Maltese. Has a lovely temperament. Great. Shame they're so crusty.

Keep it out of my house. The ZM Podcast Network Bad news For chewing gum chewers Of which I was one for a long long time My nan always had chewing gum So did my nan What kind of chewing gum did your nan chew?

PK That's what my nan chewed I think it was big with nans What colour? She liked the blue PK So did my nan Yeah And it was really strong.

Really strong. It was brown on the inside. Yeah. It had blue candy coating on the outside and brown on the inside. What the hell? I don't know if PK still exists because then there was the other PK, the yellow one. Yeah, the orange and yellow one.

Which was super sweet. Yeah. It was so different. Half of it still exists. Anyway, this won't make you want to chew PK or anything else. There's new research out that says chewing gum releases hundreds of tiny plastic pieces straight into people's mouths when you chew it. What?

Microplastics from chewing gum. What do you mean? They found that a one gram piece of gum released on average a hundred microplastic fragments although some brands of gum shed more than 600 pieces of microplastics into your mouth which you then in turn swallow and they go into your body.

So there's microplastics in the gum? Yeah. Because have you ever thought about how gum stays intact even though you keep chewing the crap out of it? Not really. Have you ever thought about what gum actually intact even though you keep chewing the crap out of it? Have you ever thought about what gum actually is? Nah. Nah.

I'm not that much of a deep thinker. I did recently and I was like, why does it last so long? Why does it, when you stick it onto things, why does it go so rock hard and why does it never disappear? This report says that the building blocks of chewing gum are similar to what is found inside car tyres, plastic bags and bottles. What are they going to take from us next?

It's essentially rubber is what chewing gum is. No, I understand. And when you put it that way, it makes sense. People who chew 180 pieces of gum a year. That would be me, I reckon. Yeah, that's like one every two days, could be ingesting roughly 30,000 microplastics every year. That would be me, I reckon. Yeah, that's like one every two days. Could be ingesting roughly 30,000 microplastics every year.

And what do microplastics end up doing to you? So that's where it gets interesting. Because there's actually no research that shows that having a stomach full of microplastics is actually harmful to human health. Like, it's obviously not ideal. You're not meant to contain microplastics is actually harmful to human health. Like it's obviously not ideal.

You're not meant to contain microplastics. Yeah. It's like when they pull those dead seagulls out of the ocean and they cut their stomach open and it's full of like bottle caps and shit. They're still living. But it's not. No, they're dead. Oh, some of them are still living.

There's not bits of plastic that big. They're like microscopic bits of plastic. You can't even see them. But then they did another test recently where they autopsied a group of men and they found microplastics inside men's testicles. How'd it get in there? Because it goes into your system. It becomes like a part of you.

And let's be real. Let's be real, though, for a second. Obviously, chewing gum, yes, that does make sense. Yeah. But I feel like microplastics are going to be in a whole lot of things. That's the problem. They're in everything. They're in your clothes.

If you wear polyester clothing, it's in your clothes. It said that if you drink a litre of water from a plastic bottle, that contains an average of 240,000 bits of microplastics. This is the thing. In a one litre bottle of water. 240,000. And how much was in a piece of gum? 100. Oh, so I mean, you know.

Yeah, really. Might as well get the gum. Yeah. At least the gum probably lasts you a couple of hours. Yeah, exactly right. It's in everything. Literally you can Yeah, exactly. It's in everything. Literally, you can't escape it. It's in everything. They reckon we have generated in the last hundred years as people, we've created so

much plastic that there are microplastics in the air that we breathe. God, that's scary to think, isn't it? Yeah. What do they call that big thing in the ocean? That's the huge... Oh, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Yeah. Where is that? Uh, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. And I wonder why it all congregated

there. Something to do with the currents. The currents, yeah. There's a, there is actually a really, we're going deep on plastic, but I find this stuff interesting. There's an Instagram account this, this guy is cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It's gonna take him a while. Yeah, yeah, it is. How's an Instagram account this guy is cleaning up the Great Pacific garbage patch. It's going to take him a while. Yeah, it is. How's he doing that?

He's created this technology that goes out and rounds it up. And filters the water. His name is, it's like Boy Salant or something like that. Right. I'll figure it out. But anyway, we're getting off the point. You are full of microplastics. I am full of microplastics. But I think we're getting off the point. You are full of microplastics. I am full of microplastics.

But I think we're going to be okay. No one really knows. No one knows. And we press on. Sabrina Carpenter on ZM. It's grim. Play ZM's Brianne Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok. And live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
