ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.
There's a new trend where you put a photo of yourself into chat GPT and you ask it to
tell you whether you're hot or not.
I don't need to know if chat GPT thinks I'm hot or not, especially not right now.
I'm vulnerable.
I know you are.
I've got my period. I know you are. I've got my period.
I know you do.
It's not a good time.
So I'll just say that we've done this against Bree's will.
Okay?
And you also used a photo that I didn't want to use.
I wanted to use our best photos.
Our photos from the radio awards,
when we're dolled up, you know?
Bree wanted to use a glam photo for this.
But I said no.
We're looking our best.
I don't want to know if Chet GBT thinks we're hot
when we're trying to look hot.
I want to know if Chet GBT thinks we're hot.
Like now.
Why do you want to know this?
We've used a security photo that we took
for an upcoming trip to the airport that we've got to do.
And Claudia has plugged that into Chet GBT.
Hi Claudia.
Hello, yeah you wanted a beauty shot
and instead you got a mug shot.
Do you want to start with Clint?
Since you're feeling more comfortable about it.
Oh, that's not a good sign that I'm going second.
Start with me.
We'll start with Clint.
It's just a computer.
Yeah, it's just a computer.
Still trying to impress a computer.
So I've thrown your mug shots.
You're the one that wanted to do it.
I've thrown your mug shots into a computer.
It's given me a rating out of 10 for Clint.
Yeah.
7.5.
I'll take it.
Yeah, which is definitely a pass mark.
See, he's kept degrees.
Yay!
Do you want the summary review?
Yeah, absolutely.
It says-
What gives a review?
Yeah, it gives you a full breakdown actually,
but these are the little summaries.
This face aligns well with many classic markers
of attractiveness, particularly in masculinity and structure.
It's above average in appeal
and would likely receive positive ratings
in both experimental face space studies
and general social perception.
And that they gave a 7.5, but they said all that.
Classically handsome and above average.
It doesn't say but.
But it stops short of reaching the top tiers
that typically require near perfect symmetry
and ideal golden ratio alignment.
That's why this is a radio career and not a TV career.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
People always talk about facial symmetry, which I have zero of.
You don't know.
You don't know.
Now that we part your hair in the middle, you're much more symmetrical.
No, it's much more noticeable.
Here it goes.
This is a chat GBTBR.
If three is hot.
Out of 10, 8.1.
Oh! It's much more noticeable. Here it goes. This is ChetGBTBR.
So if three is hot.
Out of ten, eight point one.
Oh!
Claudia's BS.
No, I genuinely.
Look, it's shocked that I've done better than him.
He's gutted.
He's gutted.
And I look my worst at the moment.
OK, what did it say?
It says.
He's so sour. I'm so sorry. He's so it say? It says, this is a well balanced and naturally attractive face.
The warm expression and symmetry makes it stand out a very solid 8.1 and
likely even higher depending on personal preference and cultural context. Whoa okay.
I love this game. I love the juxtaposition to you a minute ago. I! Okay. I love this game.
I love the juxtaposition to you a minute ago.
I don't want to do this.
Did you smile in your photo because I didn't smile in mine?
Um, I think with no teeth.
Oh, maybe I needed to smile some more.
Clint was a lot more aggressive.
That would have definitely taken you up at least half a point.
I'll take half a point at this stage.
I need an eight. I need an eight.
I'm not going to lie, your angle as well, Clint,
not the most forgiving.
The person who chose it was off-share.
It's the photo.
It's the photo.
You know what we should use next time?
A glam shot from the radio awards.
I'd be happy with that.
I want to talk about compliments for a second and the phenomenon that is compliments and
how a compliment to one person might not be a compliment to another person.
Oh yeah sure.
And how I feel like.
It's about context and tone as well isn't it?
Absolutely it is and that's where.
Like if I said to you, nice shoes.
Those are nice shoes for your style. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like, and
wear a backhanded compliment when that was invented. I like those shoes on you.
Yeah, I mean, you pull those shoes off. That is a backhanded compliment. My partner and I, last
night, were having a discussion because my mum sent through this picture of
my dad when he was younger, when he was like a teenager.
Oh yeah.
And my partner's like, whoa, you look so much like your dad.
Okay.
And she then said, I think it's because you both have beautiful lips.
Oh, okay.
Beautiful, luscious, full lips.
That's nice.
And I was like, you've never said that to me.
I was like, how long have we been together
and you've never given me that compliment?
You and your partner thinks that you and your father
both have very kissable lips.
Yeah, but you can't see most of his,
so it's covered by mustache.
So I'm in the clear.
Yeah, I'm in the clear.
But I was like, how have you never given me this compliment
and how long have we been together?
I've never heard that from you before.
Partners will often withhold compliments.
You reckon?
Yeah, you know, just treat them mean, keep them keen.
But at what point?
You can't let your partner get too ahead of themselves or they'll leave.
If you give them too many compliments, they'll be like, oh, maybe I'm too...
Maybe I am hot.
Maybe I'm out of here.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, how long do you withhold the compliments from your partner though?
Is it when you've been married for 20 years?
I don't know.
It made me think about what is the best compliment I've ever received.
Do you know what it is?
I don't know if I do because I feel like compliments can be in really different
categories, you know, obviously there's like physical compliments
and then there's compliments more to do
with your personality, your character.
You mean like appearance based compliments.
Yeah, like appearance.
And then you've got, you know, obviously compliments
about your personality.
So I don't know.
Do you know what the best compliment you've ever got is?
No, I don't tend to hold onto the compliments
or the criticisms. Like I feel like you just sort No, I don't tend to hold on to the compliments or the criticisms.
Like I feel like you just sort of, I don't know.
Oh, come on.
Can't put too much stock in what other people say.
There's got to be something that you remember.
I do remember one time someone told me I was better looking than I sound.
Okay, that's a backhanded compliment.
Which is a backhanded compliment.
It's a backhanded compliment.
But I was like, you know what, I'll take it.
Yeah.
I'll take it.
Yeah.
In this profession, in this industry where face for radio is a thing, I took that one. I hate to
think that that is the best compliment you've ever got and it's a back-handed one though.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't, they don't stick with me. Like, I don't know.
Yeah. What about you, Claude? Do you remember? I can only think of the most unusual comment where
I just didn't agree with them at all.
Someone once said, Claudia, you're very mysterious. And I'm like, I am an open book. Like, there
is no mystery here.
Wait, wait, wait.
Is that a compliment?
Were you trying to be mysterious at the time? Were you going through your mysterious era?
Absolutely not.
You didn't have hair down over one eye?
Nah, I was past that.
You weren't looking at the ground a lot?
Nah.
You weren't keeping a journal? I'd been through that and I've come out the other side and then they were like, where are you?
I'm so sorry. But I was like, this just means that you don't know me at all.
So mysterious. So mysterious.
Phil and producer Pixie, do you know the best compliment you ever received?
Are we going superficial? Yeah, it can be superficial.
It can be whatever. Someone said they really liked my Instagram captions.
They thought they were funny.
And I really liked that one.
You do do very good Instagram captions.
And they're right.
I don't know if that's superficial.
Because it's a compliment on your intellect.
No, that was my non-superficial one.
What's your superficial one?
Another one was another comment on a post.
And someone said, way too beautiful for radio.
Oh!
And I was like, yo, that's kind of like close though.
That was me just passing on the compliment that I got.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about when we were in Queen Street recently and that random stranger on the street gave
me a compliment.
Brian and I were filming a video on Queen Street and this guy, it was a bit worse for
wear came over and he goes,
Fah girl, you've lost heaps of weight.
Because he obviously recognised me.
And I said, oh thanks.
And I looked at Clint and I said, I'm exactly the same weight I've always been.
So out of place.
I was about to go to him, ah man, you've lost heaps of teeth.
Oh, that's right. But he meant it as a compliment. I was about to go to him, ah man, you've lost heaps of teeth.
I reckon what he meant it as a compliment. And I took it as a compliment.
I was like, yeah, made all good.
Probably one of the ones that stuck with me is I met this woman once
and she was probably around my mom's age, so had kids probably similar age to me.
And I remember I talked to this woman for about 20 minutes.
It was at this event and she looked me dead in the eye and she said, you know what, I
never think this about anyone, but I would be happy if my son ended up with
you. And I went, holy, that is a compliment. She wanted you as a daughter-in-law. Yeah, I was like, that might be the best compliment I ever got.
Do you remember the best compliment you ever got?
And can you share it with us?
0800 DIAL ZM, or you can text it into 9 6 9 6.
We would love to hear about it this afternoon.
The context, who it came from.
Yes, and why it was so good.
And then maybe people can get some ideas
to give out good compliments to others.
That is Franklin.
What is the best compliment you've ever received?
That's what we're talking about right now. A really good one would stick with
you. Of course it would. Yeah. You know the really good ones do and I think the
ones that mean more to you do like depending on what they're about I mean.
You know? Someone texted and said come on Clint be honest every man remembers compliments that he got because we get them
So really and you know what?
It reminded me that over some of my wife told me that I looked hot in this particular hat that I owned
And it really did stick with me. I ended up wearing that hat all summer
So and then did she ever say it again? No, no
Hey, well, you don't know but yeah, maybe she thought Nope, not once. Hey, well you don't know.
Maybe she thought it the whole time.
Yeah.
Hey?
Someone text her and they said,
"'I hate public speaking,
"'but one time I gave an acceptance speech
"'at a business awards evening,
"'and David Seymour came up to me afterwards
"'and said, that was the most exciting acceptance speech
"'I've ever heard.
"'I'm not sure it was really a compliment,
"'but I still think about it often.
Better than it being a disaster, I suppose.
Better than your speech being criticised by David Seahal.
Yeah, that wouldn't, I mean,
I don't know which I'd rather more.
People always tell me how pretty I am
and that I look exactly like my mother.
But then they continue on by saying,
thank goodness you didn't get your dad's looks.
That's so rough, eh? Rough on dad. But then they continue on by saying, thank goodness you didn't get your dad's looks.
So rough, eh? Rough on dad.
Someone else said, I had a random girl walk past me in a club.
She stopped, turned around and hugged me.
I had just gotten a new cologne and she said, sorry, but you smell effing amazing.
Keep it up.
That is a huge compliment. From a rando. Yeah. I like how she was like
keep it up. Like a pep talk and then she just continued. You're like wait are we
gonna hook up or anything and she's like no. Just keep up the good work. But keep on
fighting the good fight. Keep on doing your thing. Best compliment I ever received was from a
little girl who handed me a flower and told me the world needs more people like
me who are kind on the inside and outside. It made me cry. It was
three years ago and I still remember it to this day. That is adorable. That is
adorable but also it's one of those creepy kid interactions where the kid
is like speaking straight to your soul. This kid you've never met before. You're like how do you know I need that right now?
Like when a kid comes over and they're like, don't worry, everything will be okay in the end
and if it's not, it's not the end.
You're like, what the hell you psychic medium kid,
what are you doing?
Someone else said, I love this one so much.
I was looking after my neighbour's three year old
and we were watching a video of Sabrina Carpenter
and I said, look how pretty she is
and she responded with, you're prettier and I've never never ever forgotten it. Give that kid as much
lollies as they want. That's amazing. People always tell me my mum is hot.
Pass that compliment on. Yeah you pass that on to your mum. Mum needs that one. You might not enjoy it but pass that compliment on to mum. Someone else said I had just turned 50 and was asked for my ID at the New World when
buying wine.
I then went to the fuel, then went to put fuel in my car and a young guy hit on me.
I said, thank you, but I could be your mum.
What a good back to back set of compliments.
You know?
Thank you, but I could be your mum if you want.
Do you reckon that's what she meant?
Mummy maybe.
Yeah. Best compliment I ever got was she meant? Mummy maybe. Yeah.
Best compliment I ever got was I love your hair.
I get it nearly every day.
I'm a ginger.
Oh, jealous.
This one, when my kids were at primary school,
their friends voted on each other's parents
and I won the nicest mum.
Nicest mum award?
I wonder who they voted hottest mum.
Yeah, I wonder who they voted meanest mum.
And funniest mum.
That's the one I would want to win.
No, you want to win fastest mum.
Fastest?
You know how they have the mum race at athletics day?
100%.
I want to be the fastest out of all the mums.
The best compliment I ever got was that I look like
Elle MacPherson, the supermodel.
What?
I'm five foot three and I definitely don't look anything
like Elle MacPherson, but I took the confidence boost. That's an amazing compliment. I
wonder if they actually do look a little bit like her. And if you're five foot three do you think the
person knows what Al McPherson looks like? Yeah. Yeah. What about this?
They meant Elijah Wood. Oh that could have been the mistake. Yeah that person's there that
person's listening they're like can you not wreck the best compliment I ever got?
This one I was. I do not look like Frodo Beggins. I was bullied a lot in school
wasn't a cool kid and one day one of the popular girls stopped me in the hallway
thinking she was going to give me a hard time and she said you have the prettiest
eyes it made my day.
Isn't that nice?
That's so lovely.
That person sticks back and they said,
it was definitely Elle Macpherson, thank you very much.
We believe you, okay?
Yeah, Elle Macpherson.
We were just ruminating on the possibility
that they had not seen him.
Let me just look, Elijah Wood and Al McPherson. No no they
don't look alike. Yeah no they definitely don't look alike. No they don't look alike.
Zayden's Braynclint. Anyone who's looking to get their first house by their first
home this could be for you. Give up because it's impossible. I'm just kidding.
Well I'm not kidding. Feels like that'm not kidding. It feels like that sometimes, doesn't it?
It feels like a very, very far dream for some people.
Well, some of the advice that is often given out is lower your expectations.
Start looking smaller for your starter home, and it doesn't get any smaller than this.
Auckland's smallest house has just sold.
Ooh okay, how small are we talking? Is it my place that I bought because it's pretty
bloody small.
No it's one tenth of the size of yours. So it's about the size of one of the bedrooms
of your house.
How is that a house?
First of all, we'll start with where it is. It's in Grey Lynn. It's a the size of one of the bedrooms of your house. How is that a house? First of all, we'll start with where it is.
It's in Grey Lynn.
It's a very nice part of Auckland.
Central suburb is sort of- Fancy part of Auckland.
Behind Ponsonby.
So it's a nice place to live if you can.
It's actually behind Pocket Bar,
if you've ever seen, if you know Grey Lynn.
I know where that is.
The house is nine square metres,
and it's a brick shed. Oh my God, it's literally a shed. It's a brick shed yeah but it's got power so they can list it as a
house. You can you're allowed to live in there. Does it have anything else in there? Not from
what I've seen no. No I think you've got to use the toilet next door at the pub. And they've sold
that as a house? This house, Auckland's smallest
house has just sold at auction. Oh god, this is gonna make me feel sick. For $200,000. Wow.
When we say brick shed you can't park a car in it. No it's not big enough. No it's
got a normal door. It's like a garden shed. It's kind of like a garden shed isn't it?
That's what it is. What do they say though? You're not buying the house, you're buying the land.
I can't believe...
The land for Auckland's smallest house is 33 square metres in total, which is basically
if you walk six metres forward and then six metres sideways, that's the whole site.
Six metres long, six metres wide.
Who is buying that? What are they
of they obviously have an idea they're not living there. Well the best bit
about it is because it's a heritage brick shed you're not allowed to demolish
it either. Oh even better. Yeah you can't knock it down and put a caravan on it or anything.
Oh great so it's worthless they probably will open like a little coffee shop or
something. Yeah yeah. Like a little window. Oh that'd be a nice way to use it yeah. open like a little coffee shop or something. Yeah, yeah. Like a little window.
Oh, that'd be a nice way to use it.
Yeah.
Like a little window coffee shop.
Yeah.
Still though, a $200,000 coffee shop with no running water.
Expensive.
I don't think it even has a floor.
No.
Oh, I think it's got a concrete slab in it.
Oh, fancy.
Yeah, it's nice.
It's nice.
Anyway, keep the KiwiSaver contributions up, everybody.
And you too...
Could own a shed one day.
Could own a shed.
Of your very own.
Maybe.
You'll have to pay it off
because they're $200,000.
ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.
The Tea, live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, the AMAs are going down right now,
which is very confusing.
Those are the American Music Awards.
Here in New Zealand, we've changed the name of our awards
to the AMAs as well, the Aotearoa Music Awards.
And even more confusingly,
those awards are this week as well.
But just to be clear,
we're talking about the American Awards right now, correct?
Yes, we are.
And what's even more confusing,
normally these shows are on a Sunday,
but now they today are on a Monday.
So we're all just got no idea.
Right.
Let me tell you, I'll give you the line that
Las Vegas right now, Jennifer Lopez is the host,
a huge award show.
What's interesting about the American Music Awards
is that they are voted on by the people.
They consider streaming, sales.
It's kind of like a lot of different things that come into it, but the main thing is voted on by the people. They consider streaming, sales, it's kind of like a lot of different
things that come into it but the main thing is voted on by fans and the winner today,
Billie Eilish has cleaned all the way up. Billie Eilish won Artist of the Year, she won Album
of the Year, Song of the Year, Turing Artist of the Year, which, hello, Taylor Swift just
did the biggest tour in history.
Why would she not win that?
It went to Billie Eilish.
That's weird.
That is weird.
That's crazy.
Goatie.
Like for example, they also voted favorite male pop artist, Bruno Mars.
How does Bruno Mars beat Benson Doone?
Like what?
And of course the favorite male hip hop artist is Eminem.
Yeah. Eminem. Yeah.
Eminem beat Kendrick Lamar.
We took we took with that one earlier to beat Kendrick Lamar in the year of Not
Like Us. That doesn't make any sense.
Yeah. OK.
No shade towards Eminem.
No shade to Eminem.
He's an icon and no shade to Billie Eilish.
She deserves I believe she deserves a lot of those awards that she got.
I agree. And her tour was mega.
But but the numbers don't lie.
The Taylor Swift tour.
Yeah, it made a billion dollars.
It's the biggest, most successful tour in history
and it didn't win the award.
It doesn't make sense.
How did Bruno Mars beat Benson Boon?
He can't even backflip.
He beat Benson Boon, He beat The Weeknd.
He beat Hozier.
Teddy Swim.
Yeah, I don't know.
But so, you know, I guess they voted.
The fans voted.
Yeah.
How many people vote in something like this?
Like, do you know, Dean, how many people have voted?
For the American musical, I actually don't know the answer to that.
I don't know, but it feels rigged or something.
Can we just call it what it is?
It feels rigged.
Well, that's the goss anyway.
Congratulations to all the winners.
And good luck to Bruno Mars in the Aotearoa Music Awards later this week.
Because if he can win an AMA this year, he can win a New Zealand Music Award as well.
He's going to win two AMAs from different music events.
That's the tea with Dean McCarthy.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Lady Gaga on ZM. Bri and Clint Bree's been in with our audio wizard, Sam,
today recording her Friday Oki for Abracadabra.
Oh, it's not good. Guys, it's not good.
It's a tough song.
I know we say that from time to time.
And then sometimes, I'll be honest,
I'm pleasantly surprised for both of us.
Some weeks, this week is gonna be...
I'm concerned you haven't put in enough effort.
Oh, I put, trust me, I always put in 110%.
That's not the problem here.
I feel like you might be daunted by the prospect.
It is not the problem.
And you've just laid down.
The effort's never the problem, it's the skill that is the issue.
Anyway, this Friday, we were hoping to do it last Friday,
some things came up this Friday.
Yeah, it's very flat.
Abra-Kadabra.
Hey, we just hit the International ATM. We have given away some Turkish money before,
and this story comes from Turkey. They've announced that they are going to start finding
people who stand up too soon when the aeroplane lands.
Yes! Well, actually, we should find people that clap at the end of a plane trip as well.
We should find those people too. They're specifically targeting the people who stand up after the
seatbelt sign is switched off but before the passengers in the rows in front of them are
ready to leave. Because there is an order in which we exit the plane. And if you stand up in row 27,
when the poor old lady in row four hasn't even got off yet,
all you're doing is creating stress and anxiety
and a traffic jam back in the plane.
I love this. How much will they get fined?
It's fascinating.
So Turkish media are reporting
that the fine will be 2, six hundred and three lira which is just
over a hundred and ten New Zealand dollars. Yep. I don't know how you police it but they've said
they're gonna do it. You just get the people like everyone it's like a honesty system so everyone
around those people will know. Oh you knock? Yeah and then you all just point and say shame, shame. Often the
threat of a fine is enough to get people to change their behaviour. For some people. But
I didn't know that it was possible to fine people for doing things that we find annoying.
But now that it is, we should put the full list of things together. Yeah. And I would
like to start by proposing that we fine people who take up both sides of the escalator, going up or down.
New Zealand is the only country where people don't understand escalator etiquette, where
you're meant to go to the left so that the fast walkers can go past you on the right.
It's fine if you just want to stand on the escalator and enjoy the ride, but some people
have got places to be, man.
I think just spatialial awareness full stop. If
you're accused of not abiding by the spatial awareness laws you will get fine.
Too abreast on the escalator. Can I take the escalator thing one further? Yeah.
People that need to stop before they get on when they're calculating their little
footsteps. Like just just keep going. No we can't find them they're scared. Yeah.
Just stride on you'll be fine.
I reckon we should find people,
and this one really gets my goat.
It happened to me on the weekend,
where you're lining up for something,
and it's a long line.
Like it's a really long line.
And so I was in a line on the weekend for like 25 minutes
to get one beer.
And so I'm in this line, I'm waiting.
The woman in front of me, I'm not you,
gets to the front and goes, oh, what do I want? Hold on one second, I'm just going to talk to my
husband. Hey, Tony, Tony, come up here. Oh my god. And then anyway, so her husband came up and then
she's like, actually, I'm just going to talk to you. Jeanette, do you wanna come up here
and decide what you want?
I'm like, how have you not done this?
How have you not done this?
I don't mind if you're ordering for everyone,
but know exactly what you're ordering.
The people who get to the front of that line
and then they decide to transfer some money.
Oh, I just, you know that we've all been waiting
in this line for ages.
Try and streamline it.
Streamline it as much as possible.
People who merge too soon on the motorway, find them.
Find them.
I wonder if the police can find them for that.
You know, when you come on an on-ramp
and there's a flow of traffic and you're like,
you know what I'll do?
I'll push in as early as I possibly can.
No, go all the way to the front.
Go all the way to the front.
What about people that just don't know
how to use a zip merge in general? Yeah. God, I hate it. Find them. Any finds you guys want to
dole out? People that try to get on a bus or an elevator before the people getting off
have gotten off. They're just pushing their way past these people. Like, just wait one
second. Yeah, the people come out. Let me out. And then you go in. Yeah. It's all down to spatial awareness isn't it?
Yeah we're a bunch of whinges.
Just be aware.
Nah it's fun to whinge.
It is fun to whinge.
It is fun to whinge.
You know what's even more fun than whinging?
Fining people for it.
It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.
Oh we have opened a pressure valve here.
Turkey have announced they're gonna start
fining people who stand up too soon when the airplane lands
which is just genius. About 110 New Zealand dollars the fine. So we figured if you can find people
for doing annoying things, let's put the list together.
Yeah, we'll do the hard work and then we'll pass it on to the police.
We've had so many texts on this. A lot of people, I'll just, I'll do a catch all, bad behaviour around supermarket trolleys
and supermarket car parks.
Yes.
People want fines handed out.
A lot of bad trolley behaviour.
Yeah, a lot of bad passing lane behaviour
on the open road.
Yeah, a lot of traffic behaviour
that people aren't a fan of.
Samantha, yours is traffic car driving related.
Is that right? What are we finding people for?
When you're driving and I guess you've got roadworks coming up and it tells you the
lane has been emerged.
Yeah.
And you've got those people that wait till the very last incident and sit there and
indicate and say, please let me in.
You had the same amount of time as I had.
We hear you, Samantha. No No I will not let them in. Okay you hold your ground Samantha
thank you. Eloise is here. Hi Eloise. Hi Eloise. Hello. What are we finding people for Eloise?
So you know when it's morning traffic and you're driving and you decide to be nice and you'll get
someone in at the intersection and then there's always some
swear word that pulls in behind and forces their way in and they don't put
the hazards on to say thank you and they don't wave to say thank you
and they and if they're a repeat offender i believe they should go to jail
how many years do you reckon louise what would should be the sentence
i'd say one year and their license revoked.
A year in prison and a loss of license. Thanks Eloise.
It makes me so angry if I let someone in and they don't give me the old little wave in the mirror.
The power of a quick double flash of the hazards.
That's all I need.
That's all you need. Who gets fined? Someone said people who double dip chips.
Oh, that's me. What if they use the other end? What if they flip the chip around?
I am. Is that okay? I use both ends.
I thought you can double dip a chip in a long-term relationship, can't you?
100%. So there's no germs here that you haven't already got.
If you're not double dipping in a long-term relationship, that relationship is doomed.
Someone texted and said,
the worst thing a person can do to another
is whistle around them.
Find them, imprison them, give them the chair.
Whoa, that's a bit intense.
What about this one?
Talking loudly on speakerphone in a small public space,
like a waiting room or a hospital room.
Yeah, I agree.
They said I don't want to hear that your aunt Sharon isn't happy with
the Pav that she just made for her nephew Dave. Yeah, no speakerphone around
other people. You're not one of the Kardashians filming an episode of the
Kardashians. Just don't have your phone on speaker. We better follow up Tix. Claudia,
what was the name of our first caller that we talked to? Not Eloise.
Samantha.
Samantha. I should have said something at the time, because it goes against what I said
at the beginning, people who merge early. You don't merge early, you go all the way
to the front, someone's texted and said, that's not how merging lanes work. You're supposed
to wait until the end. Otherwise the traffic banks up even worse. That is right. That is
right. You're meant to merge right at the point of the zip.
But is it different when it's road works?
Is it? I don't know. Should it be? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
What are we finding people for? Find the people that try to be classy by pronouncing the word
immediately with a G in the middle. Phonetically they say, immediately. Oh hell no. I totally agree with that. Who's
saying immed... I can't even do it. You're receiving a fine immediately. Immediately.
Who's saying that? No one is saying that surely. Who's getting fined? Husbands that grow beards
but don't keep them nice and tidy or conditioned. Someone said people who don't wash their hands
after going to the toilet. I have to agree with that one. What are you doing? Like you're an adult,
wash your hands. It's the least you can do. The base level for all these fines is $110 by the way.
Yeah, 110 bucks. We're taking Turkey's lead. Someone said find people who get in their cars
in a busy car park and sit there on their
phone, having no sense of urgency to leave the space when there's obviously somebody
waiting to take that car park.
That drives me insane.
Me too.
Because you'll follow someone.
Is that you Claudia?
You'll see them in the mall car park and you'll be like, oh they're going to their car.
I'll follow them.
And then you sit there in the car on your phone.
Yeah I'm still using the space.
It's my space.
I can do what I want with it.
Just go somewhere else.
We can't.
The car park is full.
Do another lap.
I'm on my phone.
Do your scrolling at muffin break inside the mall.
Someone else said people that have bar soap in the shower.
Oh, my dad still uses bars of soap.
And when he comes to visit visit we have to go out especially
and buy him a bar of soap because he refuses to use, in my opinion, the more hygienic like
pump soap.
I'm on the bar soap.
Yuck.
In the shower.
It's better for the environment.
It's yucky.
It's my soap, my body, my soap.
Yuck.
Do you go bar of soap straight to your genitals?
Or do you?
No, no, no, no, you get a leather up on the hands
and then you use your hands.
But sometimes do you accidentally just go straight to,
you do.
Oh, my body, my soap.
Look, look!
My body, my soap.
Are you putting that bar of soap
into all your bits and pits?
And then it sits there in the shower. Have you ever, when was
the last time you had to pull a hair off it? No, when was it?
Well, my answer depends on whether I'm going to get fined or not.
You will not be fined?
Um, recent.
As the police, we are allowed to lie. It's $110 sir, thank you.
The police are not allowed to lie. It's $110 sir, thank you. The police are not allowed to lie.
If it means catching the criminal...
Any means necessary.
Any means necessary.
Who deserves a fine?
Someone texted and said,
Bre and Clint's Fridayoke.
Agreed.
Yeah, agreed.
Life sentence.
Yeah.
It's ZM's Bre and Clint podcast.
We're having an impassioned conversation just before about bar soap.
Mm-hmm.
And someone's texted and you were talking about how you have to go and buy your dad
a special bar soap when he visits.
Every time that he visits I have to go out and buy him his soap.
Is he on the Imperial leather?
Is that the one he likes?
You know the soap that had the sticky badge on it?
Yeah and then it would scratch you?
Yeah.
I feel like you were meant to take that badge off but no one ever did. Yeah I'm pretty sure you are. Nah he's on
the Dove. Oh with its one quarter moisturiser. Yeah. Yeah. It's the one he likes. Dove is,
what do they say, it's not soap. It's soap. It's a pillow for your body. Someone texted
and they said my dad's the same Brie. I had beautiful, pretty display
soap and he used it. Unreal lol. Now we buy him soap when he visits and we chuck it out
ASAP. I feel like I can relate to that so much. Can you put yourself in your dad's shoes
though and how confused he must be that you're angry at him for using the soap.
You know?
Yeah.
Like I understand the concept of display soap.
I think it's silly, but I understand it.
But it, you know, from his era, soap was used to wash yourself.
They sit down at the table and they'll go, is this dinner or is this display dinner?
Back in, back in the day, back in the eighties, they didn't have a lush around the corner, you know?
They didn't have a whole shop dedicated to soap.
He didn't have a pump of palm olive.
You know, it was just your bars of soap and that was it.
Didn't have a manuka honey.
Oh see, people are now getting on the bandwagon with me.
Bar soap leaves scum on your shower glass where a liquid body wash won't.
Less maintenance. What, can I ask, because this is new, with me. Bar soap leaves scum on your shower glass where a liquid body wash won't. Less
maintenance. What can I ask because this is new. I feel like did I know that you're a
bar soap user?
I have told you before but I feel like you chose not to listen.
Yeah I feel like I didn't want to know that information about you.
Yeah.
Because I just picture anytime someone tells me they're a bar soap user.
Yeah.
I just picture what that looks like.
We got into.
With them using that in the shower
My wife got us onto an olive oil soap recently. It's a bar of soap made with olive oil and it's alright
It smells a bit funky. I was gonna say you're getting it in the big tin and yeah
I didn't ask you what it costs because olive oils bloody expensive
But you know what there she was with an olive oil soap? Here's information that absolutely nobody asked for.
You can't wash it off?
No, it turns your shower towels real scummy real fast.
That's what bars of soap do in any way.
No, no, no.
No, I won't hear the slander of bar soap.
Let me ask.
I'm happy with you slandering olive oil soap.
Okay, olive oil soap, not a fan of.
Also natural deodorant can get in the bin
while we're at it. Why do you use bar soap? Have you always used bar soap and have you never changed?
No, no, I just, oh look, I'll use a pump if it's there. But I just, it's such a huge plastic bottle
that just goes in the bin or the recycling. And we refill. Do you? Yeah. Yeah but the refill is a scam too
because you just refill it with another plastic bottle. You just get another big plastic bottle.
We buy in bulk from Costco and then just refill into the other bottle. Next time you're at Costco
can you see if they do bulk bars of soap? They might just do one giant bar of soap. But hey. A cheese block size bar of soap.
A wheel of soap for Clint.
Does your wife use bar soap or does she?
Yeah, she uses bar soap.
She uses bar, okay.
Well that makes more sense.
Matt, I'm using her bar soap.
Does she know where you're putting the bar soap?
Does she know you're not putting it on your hands
and then washing it?
Does she know where it's going?
So much more chat about soap than I planned to have today. We're going to play Let's Get
Classical next. It's us versus ZM Music Director Pixie. You can text Bri and Clint as a team
or Pixie to 9696.
Do you know we never received our payment for winning last week?
Did we not do it?
We did not.
You never chose your songs.
We've squandered that one. That's gone. We have to win again today.
That's on us. Pick your winner. There's 50k of C chicken dollars on the line and for Brie
and I we could be choosing the music on ZM tomorrow. Play ZM's Brie and Clint.
Where we guess pop songs in classical style. While she's filling in for Ella, we're going against ZM's music director, Pixie.
Before we play Pixie, we must know what kind of soap you use.
I'm definitely a pump soap.
Bar soap is diabolical.
It's not diabolical.
It's so much wrong with bar soap.
You've been brainwashed by big soap.
Did you not miss the Frenzy episode
with Clint and Chandler about the bar soap? No. You know when you pick up a bar soap after like you know
it's been used quite a few times yeah yeah and just that slimy like layer
that you have to like work through. It's grim. It just reminds me of a... You need a
good soap tray that drains yeah., I feel like no soap trays.
Yeah, I don't think any one of you like it.
Look, I'm not looking to die on this hill.
I'm not looking to go out on this, okay?
I don't want to be pigeon-holed as the bar soap guy.
I just made a comment, okay?
I just made a comment.
That's now how we describe Clint, a part of his personality as a bar soap.
There you go, there's your best compliment.
Okay, let's move on.
Claudia, let's get this thing moving, shall we?
Hello, yep, let's do it.
This is Let's Get Classical, it's Bree and Clint versus Pixie.
These are pop songs turned into a classical style
and it was their job to guess what they are.
Artist and the name of the song, first team to two points
is picking the music on the show tomorrow.
And we need to remember to do it.
I can't believe we won and then we didn't cash in.
We're playing Goo Goo Dolls tomorrow if we win. 100% we are. We were trying to say Google down and I was like
Google down. Yeah well that's happening tomorrow as well. Goo Goo Dolls. Okay so buzzin with
your names if can hear it.
I can hear it too.
Oh, Pixie.
No, it's not Pixie Murph.
I know the artist, but I don't know the name of the song.
Do we get a free guess?
Yeah, you get a free guess.
Alex Warren Ordinary.
It is Alex Warren Ordinary. It is Alex Warren Ordinary. Join Effen.
To be fair, that cover did have a bit of pizzazz, so it sounded a little different.
It did.
That was quite a hard one to get.
That pianist was really going for it, weren't they?
Good pianist.
Okay, well, one point to Brian Clint. Here is your next song.
Pixie.
Pixie?
Taylor Swift, Look What You Made Me Do?
Correct. Wow.
Did you hear that?
Yep.
Why didn't you buzz in?
Can we hear it one more time?
I hate that song.
Yeah, same.
I hate it so much.
That sounds like a sore loser over there.
I hate that song, don't I, Clint?
Brie can't come to the phone right now because she's dead.
Oh!
Dead to item listening to that.
One point for Brie and Clint, one point for Pixie.
So this is the decider.
Deep breaths everyone.
I kind of want Google Dolls though.
Well you can pick it.
You can pick it, you're literally the music creator of this station.
Brie, Lady Gaga, Abracadabra.
Yes!
9696, what Goo Goo Dolls song do we open the show with tomorrow?
Yeah!
And what Matchbox 20 song do we play in 4 o'clock?
Oh my god, is it a soft rock Wednesday tomorrow?
I think it is.
And do you guys want Hinder or Daughtry?
Why not both?
Why not both?
Why not both?
Good game Pixie.
Good game, good game.
Paige, you correctly backed Brianna.
We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah. Let's go baby, let's go.
You like the Goo Goo Dolls page?
Oh yeah.
Yeah, same.
Yeah.
Tate.
They say it's the one thing missing from ZM.
Oh.
I have heard that.
Yeah, it's definitely the talk around the town.
That and more chat about bar soap.
ZM's Bri and Clint podcast.
It's Tate McCray and revolving door.
You know what Tate McCray isn't?
Tall?
I think she's pretty tall.
Is she?
Okay.
Yeah, I reckon she's like 5'9".
Okay.
She's not a one hit wonder.
No, multiple hits.
She's had multiple hits, so she's not ever going to be in danger to be titled a one-hit wonder.
I saw this article has come out on Rolling Stone where they've released the top 50
one-hit wonders from the 2000s. Oh I like the 2000s but yeah so it's not like you know all the
typical one-hit wonders you hear that we've heard a million times. A million times. This is the 2000. Should we go through the list?
Obviously, we're not going to do 50, but I've got the top 10 for you.
Now, I will warn you and I will warn some people listening.
I don't know if all of us will have heard of all of these.
Right. OK, it was Billboard, right?
Yeah. But I feel like if it was a hit in America, we should have about it. Yes. Right okay okay let's give it a go. We'll see okay I've got the
top 10 uh this according to Rolling Stone top 51 hit wonders from the 2000s coming in at number 10
was the Click 5 Just The Girl.
From 2005. I don't know it, it's got very American Pie soundtrack vibes to me.
I think it was on American Pie or I've heard it on an American movie.
Do you know it Claudia?
Yeah she's loving it, she's singing along.
I've thrashed the song, I love it.
Okay I don't know that one but I can see myself getting into it. Okay, I don't know that one, but I can see myself getting into it. What about this one,
coming in at number nine,
called Never Leave You?
There goes the house we made a home
There goes your never leave me alone
Yes, I didn't think this was a one hit wonder,
I thought this was-
Wait, isn't this Blue Cantrell,
Head-Amup style?
I think we've skipped one.
Oh, I was like...
What should that- What's that called, we're going in that way.
Okay, my bad. My bad, my bad, my bad.
I was like, wait, what?
I know this song.
Yeah, I could not have told you who it's by.
Loomy D?
Loomy D, yeah, yeah, right.
Loomy D from 2003? This. Yeah, yeah, right. Lumi D from 2003.
And this is a banger, this song. A banger. Yeah, love that one. And then obviously number
eight was Blue Cantrell. It's a global hit. It is huge. It does sound like Eve though.
Doesn't it? Or that Mary J. Blyige. Yeah. Because that was the era.
If you've just joined us, this is Rolling Stone's Top 51 Hit Wonders from the 2000s. We're doing the Top 10. This was enormous from Crazy Town.
This is number 7.
Didn't Crazy Town have Starry-Eyed Surprise as well?
Oh no, that was Paul Oakenfold, but it had the singer from Crazy Town on it.
Oh ma, Starry-Eyed Surprise, Sundown to Sunrise.
I vaguely remember that.
Number six, this was huge from Kaia.
The radio edit. Number six, this was huge from Kaia. All you ladies pop that thing like this.
Shake your body.
The radio edit.
Everyone just relax.
All the millennials especially relax.
But she's doing all the works.
Do it good.
This just like you should.
Right now, get good.
This just like you should.
My neck, my back, my chest just like that, my neck, my back
If you are under the age of 21 right now and you're wondering what the muted words were
Go get the unedited version. Ask your parents. Ask your mum.
Yeah, that was in 2002, that was rated number six.
That's huge, that song.
Massive, enormous, and I still don't know why.
For years, for years after that you couldn't say, oh, and I still don't know why.
For years, for years after that you couldn't say,
oh, my neck, without someone doing the rest of it.
And then someone goes, my back.
Hey, to this day, people still do that.
Claudia, this one's for you from Huber Sting.
Didn't you say they're coming, Claudia?
If they were, I'd know about it.
Oh, right. 2003, that was released. Didn't you say they're coming, Claudia? If they were, I'd know about it.
2003, that was released.
Rolling Stones is number five in terms of the best one hit wonders from the 2000s.
Yeah.
As a monster.
Yeah, massive.
This part. This was so big as well from J-Quan.
And some people don't realise that he was a one hit wonder.
Yeah. And I do.
Or you think it was someone else that had this hit.
Yeah right.
2004.
Number four. The fourth biggest one hit wonder of the 2000s.
Number three, Willa Ford, I Wanna Be Bad.
This is a bigger one hit wonder than Who Bestank The Reason.
According to Rolling Stone.
I can't say I really recall that song, do you?
Me neither, no, no.
Okay, let's get into the top two.
These are the big ones.
Number two, top 50 one-hit wonders
from Rolling Stone of the 2000s.
Lil Mama Lip Gloss.
What you know about me, what you, what you know about me.
What you know about me, what you, what you know. And said my lip gloss is cool. My lip gloss is poppin'. I'm standin' at my locker. gloss. That was in 2008. But there can only be...
That's a big call to put that at number two. Isn't it? I agree. I don't know if I agree with all these, eh?
I do feel like this one is definitely in the top 10,
but they're putting it at number one, Rolling Stone,
top one hit wonder of the 2000s.
We just...
Because I'm just a teenage, too bad baby.
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dude, bad baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dude, bad baby
Is... I mean I like it. I like it as number one, I think it's great.
Is it just 2000s, not 2010s and 2020s?
Just the 2000s.
Right, yeah I thought it was the top one hit wonders of this millennium.
The 50 best one hit wonders of the 2000s.
Okay, so it's that era specifically.
So from 2000 to 2010.
Because I was like, where's Carly Rae Jepsen?
Yeah.
Should we do our own from 2010 to 2020?
Yeah.
And we make our own list?
Carly Rae goes in there.
Carly Rae's in there for sure. It might be number one.
Omi Cheerleader goes in there.
Yeah.
What about that Nico and Vince song we just played?
Oh, Nico and Vince, Am I Wrong goes in there.
Am I...
They're saying they had two.
They had two.
What was the other worry bit?
And My Arms.
Nah.
What?
And My Arms.
Mr. Probs goes in there.
Mr. Probs.
MKTO. MKTO. Probs goes in there mr. Probs and mk to mk to
Yo, they had a few
One and a half
We should put that together we should okay, okay, let's start tomorrow
And we'll take your suggestions on nine six nine six
What are the biggest one hit wonders of the 2010s?
You can start texting them in now if you're keen.
We'll begin the process tomorrow.
We're asking for your most brutal ghosting stories
and I mean, this is a safe space.
You can be the one that did the ghosting.
You can.
We have had a message from someone who did the ghosting.
Really?
Do you want to hear it?
Yeah.
It's very honest, this message. Okay, good.
That's what we asked for.
It said, I ghosted my girlfriend at the time
after I joined the army and cheated on her
after a drunken night.
I felt so guilty and I didn't have the courage
to confess to her.
So instead I just text her,
I don't think we're going to work out long distance,
so we should break up.
And I never replied to
her multiple messages after that of her pleading for me to give her an
explanation. I want to know from that person do they regret that? Do they
regret it? Yeah. Or would they not change it? I think from the wording you can tell that they
know they did what they did yeah because obviously that yeah they felt what they did. Yeah, because obviously that yeah, they felt like they did something horrible.
And then, I don't know, I don't know what's what's better, like to give them the
truth and the explanation or my dad.
Oh, this is brutal.
And it's a different type.
My dad dropped me off at school when I was six and then ghosted.
He came back to his human form last year when I saw him for
the first time in 28 years. Wow that's crazy. That's not a dad. No. That's not a
dad. He doesn't get that. His name is, what if his name is Steve? That is now Steve.
Yeah that's Steve. What about this one? Ex-boyfriend and I were together for eight
months. His visa ended and he had to leave. Then two weeks he had to leave the country and he ghosted
and didn't talk to me for months. So he leaves the country.
Oh right.
Just nothing.
You never hear from them again.
Anonymous is here with a ghosting story. Hi Anonymous.
Hi Anonymous.
Hi, is that me?
That's you.
It's about your ex-husband. Yes, he hooked up with this wonderful lady.
She sold everything up.
They went overseas to Australia to start a new life.
Is this while you're married to him?
No, this is my ex-husband.
Oh, okay.
Right.
So we were divorced.
He, this is just after we were divorced, He then went to get married to her.
And on the wedding day, he didn't turn up and emptied her whole bank accounts.
No, stranded in Australia.
How do you know all this? Did she come to you for information?
No, my ex-husband's brother told me.
Oh, told us all. Oh, my God.
And where the hell is he now? Yeah. Oh. I was just like, oh my God.
Where the hell is he now?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, no one knows.
You dodged a bullet.
Oh, you dodged a big bullet.
Not that I feel, not that I want it to happen to her,
but thank God he drained her bank account
and not yours, Anonymous.
Oh, I had the misfortune of having three children to him.
Oh.
Pfft.
So he drained your bank account in other ways.
Oh.
Anonymous. Thanks, Anonymous. We're asking for your brutal ghosting stories.
Someone said, my ex-husband and I were going to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
When we arrived at the hotel, he said he was going to get some towels and he never came
back.
Turns out he had a wife and two kids that lived in Hawaii.
It was his idea to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
Shhh, that.
That's diabolical.
Is wild.
Someone has text through,
cause we were talking about the army guy.
Oh yeah.
That text through and said, I ghosted.
Because he cheated on her and then felt so guilty
and didn't have the courage to tell her so then he kind of just ghosted her
And we just got this text that story sounds exactly what happened to me
My ex-army yeah ex-army boys girlfriend. Oh
Imagine if we've got both sides my god imagine if it's her and she's just found out do you guys want us to reunite you guys?
Oh, could it work? No. He cheated and then ghosted. Do you know
how much? Yeah but only because he felt so guilty. Do you know how much he would have
to do to make up for that? Yeah a lot. Jules here, hi Jules. Hi Jules. Hey guys. Who ghosted?
Jules what's your ruthless ghosting story?? I was on the receiving end. Dating a girl, very big fans of each other, well I thought
we were, and we were also big fans of animated movies. Went to see Finding Dory and agreed,
you know, in that romantic phase of getting to know each other, do it in a bit of a fun,
so we decided to get dressed up. I was standing in line for the cinema dressed as an octopus when she turned up dressed as
a normal person, should have been first sort of warning, and she told me a bunch of her
friend of children that she didn't want to see them anymore, which I suppose is not too
much ghosting, but then she just turned away and left me standing there holding two tickets
and a bucket of popcorn.
While you were dressed as an octopus?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, Jules.
Dang.
How many arms did you have?
I had four additional ones sewed in,
along with my two regular and my legs.
But it was rough.
And what movie did you say you were going to see?
Finding Dory.
Still haven't seen it.
Her name wasn't Dory, was it? No, no, because then I would hope to forget her. I was going to say, it would be better if you were dressed as Dory, still haven't seen it. Her name wasn't Dory, was it?
No, no, because then I would hope to forget her.
I was going to say, it'd be better if you were dressed as Dory
because then you couldn't remember the whole thing.
That's right up there, Jules,
as far as brutal ghosting stories go.
You better off, Jules, everything happens for a reason.
And you know.
Hey, I appreciate it, team.
Thank you very much.
Thanks, Jules, I appreciate it.
Just back to the army text and the girlfriend they said no thank you I'm
happily engaged now so they do not want a reunion. And the other guy wrote back
as well he said I regretted it for a long time and even tried a few years
later to make amends and apologize but her new husband wouldn't let me speak to
her. Oh might be a different person then. Yeah, I think it's different people.
Her new husband wouldn't let you speak to her.
Hey, bro, do you reckon I could try and make up with your wife that used to be my girlfriend
that I cheated on and then ghosted?
Nothing weird, I'm just hoping that she'll want to leave you and get back together with
me.
Yeah, just want to see if that spark's still there, you know?
No.
Oh.
Oh, why not? Oh, aw. Aw, why not?
Aw, sad.
Aw, what a C blocker.
Guttin'.
Thanks guys.
We're gonna do your birthday bangers next.
If you wanna know the number one song on the day
you turned 16, we can do that for you next.
Their name's Brian Clint.
We were doing brutal ghosting stories just before
and we had the story of the person
whose dad ghosted them. They dropped them off at school when they were six and didn't
see dad again for 28 years later.
Yeah, very sad.
We said that person is not a dad, their name is not dad anymore. And that person's text
back and they said, you guys are right, ghost dad's name is Simon the sperm donor.
Yeah, that's all Simon did.
It's all Simon did.
Yep.
Yep. And then, left. Yeah, that's all Simon did. It's all Simon did. Yep. Yep.
And then, left.
Yeah, stuff off Simon.
For Brian Clint.
All I want from my birthday is a birthday banger.
Simon says nothing cause he bloody left.
Simon sucks.
Yeah, Simon got no say.
This is your birthday banger,
it's the number one song on your 16th birthday
and Martha is going first.
Hi Martha.
It's your birthday today, Martha.
Yes it is.
Happy birthday, Martha.
Is it a big one?
22, so yeah.
22?
You're our second 22 year old on here today.
The person who played Trady vs Lady was turning 22 today.
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
What are you doing for your birthday, Martha?
Nothing, I've just been at work.
On my way home, had some dinner.
Well, at least you can do this to celebrate.
Your birthday banger, this is big.
So that means your birthday was 27th of May, 2003,
which means you were 16 in 2019, Martha.
And here's your birthday banger. Can't nobody tell me nothing.
You can't tell me nothing.
It's a Walmart yodeling kid.
You get Old Town Road.
I think we've accidentally loaded
the Walltown yodeling kid version.
But you get the gist, right?
You get the Old Town Road song.
The Lil Nas X version.
Yeah.
I don't give a shit.
I don't give a shit.
I'm gonna get out my way.
I'm gonna take my horse to the Old Town version. This song was huge. It was huge. One of the biggest songs of 2019.
Carmen is gonna do their birthday banger. Hi Carmen. Hi. What have you been doing today Carmen?
Oh working and also Simon does suck. Simon much. What a loser Simon is.
Hey Carmen.
You dropped your sixth year old off at school
and disappeared for 28 years?
I'm just about to pick my sixth year old up.
Can you even?
I hope Simon.
You can't even imagine, hey Carmen.
You can't even fathom it.
I hope Simon forgets his washing in the washing basket
every time he washes his clothes.
And then his clothes smell really musty and disgusting. And then he has to re-wash his basket every time he washes his clothes and then his clothes smell really musty and disgusting
and then he has to re-wash his clothes every time.
I hope Simon catches it.
I hope he lays it in the washing machine
and forgets it in the washing machine.
Yeah, and then the washing machine smells funky.
I hope Simon's foreskin gets stuck in his fly.
Ha ha ha.
What, what?
I don't like the guy.
That was an image.
I don't like the guy. Anyway, an image. I don't like the guy.
Anyway, we like you, Carmen.
What's your date of birth?
1st of the 7th, 85.
Right, that means, Carmen, you were 16 in 2001.
And on that exact day, this was number one.
What took you so long?
What took you all night?
What took you forever to see?
I'm back.
Carmen, do you know who that is?
I was really not hoping for this.
You know what's funny though?
This is the perfect song to dedicate to Simon.
What took you so long?
Just so you know all night.
What took you 28 years?
And now I treat you so good.
I'll take you to the stars. Oh well, at least it's a Spice Girl Carmen, you know?
Yeah.
Yes.
Could be worse.
Could be worse.
Could be.
You could be Simon.
Andrea's here.
Hi, Andre.
Hi, Andre.
Hi, Andre.
There you go.
Hey team, how are we?
Good mate, what are you up to?
I am just finishing work, about to get out for dinner.
Oh, lovely.
Not a nice place or just?
Fish and chips.
Oh, no, just just just down the road.
Nothing too special. Couple of beers, liquid dinner and maybe a pizza.
Oh, that sounds awesome for a Tuesday.
Let's cap it off with a birthday banger.
What's your date of birth?
It's the 4th of October, 1992.
All right, Andre, that means you were 16 in 2008.
We've done our calculations and here's your birthday bag.
P Money and Vince Harder, everything changed.
Oh, Andre, you can't go wrong with a bit of P Money.
You into it?
Absolutely, bit of homegrown, love it.
Yep.
I think we're on the same page.
Absolutely, that's my vote all day.
Andre, you've just won Birthday Banger, well done.
Yeah, thanks, yeah.
You enjoy that pizza and that liquid dinner, Andre?
I will and I'll listen along.
Here we go.
From the year 2008,
this is Andre's Birthday banger on ZM,
Breanne Clint.
ZM's Breanne Clint podcast.
If she's by my side, yeah.
The winner of birthday banger today is P Money and Vince
Harder from 2008 for Andre.
No regrets.
That's a great song.
No regrets. We're just playing a great song. No regrets.
We're just playing a game with Vince Harder.
Vince had an authentic Charlotte Hornets jacket in the 90s, that's Vince Stada.
Vince went to university, that's Vince Smarter.
Or...
Do the one you did.
We did all our good ones off here.
Well you could redo them. Vince failed NCEA, that's Vince Tryharder.
Claudia do your pantry one. Oh Vince stores things in a pantry, that's
Vince Lada. Bree said Vince went to the markets in Bali,
that's Vince Bada. But it's not, that's Vince Hagel, isn't it?
Yeah, no, but you can bada with someone.
Isn't that what that means?
I think bada is when you offer them a service in return
and no money changes hands.
Oh, I thought it was like you're bartering.
You're like, okay.
I thought bartering and haggling were the same thing.
Oh, okay.
What about Vince became a, oh God, this could go bad.
Oh, I know where you Vince became a... Oh god, this is good to go.
Oh, I know what you're going to go with this.
Vince became a bouncer, that's Vince Carder.
A referee.
Oh, that's one of those.
Yeah, Vince became a referee.
Damn it.
Vince's socks keep falling down, that's Vince Carder.
Yeah, good. I like that.
That's good. Give it a second, and... No, good. I like that.
Give it a second. And no, we've got no more.
The ZM Podcast Network.
It's Tuesday, which means Brie and I are in search of a
we're going to call a random business
with a randomly selected name in mind.
And if the person
with that name answers the phone today they will win $1,150 cash.
Clearly the amount of money goes up each week and clearly we have not been
successful. Zero success. Zero success but it doesn't mean it can't happen.
Claudia what are you in charge of this week?
Have you decided to pick the business
or the person's name?
It's my turn for a business.
Okay, you're picking the business.
Whereabouts are we calling?
I'm going to, I've chosen City Fitness as my location.
Oh, that's your gym, isn't it?
Yeah, and I was gonna do my local,
but I was like, nah, better not.
I'm doing one in Tauranga.
So there's one in Fraser Cove in Tauranga.
I would have accused you of rigging it.
Yeah, I know you would.
I would have recalled yours.
OK, Fraser City Fitness, Fraser Cove in Tauranga.
Yeah.
And Pixie, that means we need a name from you.
I was going to go like an Alex because it's...
You can go both ways.
It's universal.
Unisex.
But I reckon a gym, like a quarry.
What about gym? I really can I just say. What about gym from the gym? Gym from the gym. Gym's not at the gym. I really hate when you say one name and then you go with another name because imagine. What if it's Alex? Exactly. So what are we going with? I'm going Corey. Corey's at the gym. my gas. Feels like he's at the gym. Also a unisex name.
Oh yeah, okay, yep.
You can have girl Corey's, yeah.
I don't have a good feeling about it.
If it's Alex, I'm going to be fuming.
