G'day guys, everyone have a nice break? Did anyone get a break? Yeah. People took time off like I was saying. Oh, you're asking me, I was like, yeah bro. Our friends, listening. Yeah, yeah, totally, totally. Hopefully, there was a couple of public holidays in there and then the really crafty ones took the days off in between as well. So good when it falls like that.

What was your peak and pit of your time off? Oh you could have warned me peak and pit, peak and pit. Peak's pretty easy having my parents visit. Oh yeah that's nice. Lovely to have them around. Mum folding your undies? I actually folded some of her undies. Did you? Can you tell them apart yet? No. From your own? No. We wear the exact same undies my mum and I. Same size? Same size. Yeah. Sniff test. Excuse you. Excuse me, sorry it's taking a while to recalibrate what's appropriate and what's not. That was the pit. That's the pit. That comment right there. You just making that comment. What about you?

We'll go Claudia first. Peek and pit. Claudia, have you break? Peek, I went away for my best friend's birthday. We went up north over the weekend. That was great. Lovely. The pit, it rained the whole time. Did rain a lot. The storm was kind of interesting but then it just... I thought you were going to say the pit was she referred to someone else in the group as her best friend. Oh there is a bit of beef. She says me and this other person, you're my best friend. No that's the thing, you can have more than one. Yeah it doesn't feel nice though does it?

We want to be the top dog. Doesn't make you feel special. No but I mean how else will you get the best out of both people unless you pick the biggest each other. But Claudia has one best friend but her best friend has multiple best friends. You need to get another one. She's friend monogamous, while the other friend is friend polyamorous. Cheapens it a bit.

I think get another one, it'll throw her into disarray. My peak was going away to the beach for a couple of days, get the last couple of days of good weather, and the pet was probably the dog drinking a litre of seawater as soon as we they'd getting there and having diarrhea the whole time. Dogs do that, they eventually learn though. Did they?

Yeah. Someone teach my one. My dog, one of the first times I went to the beach, ate this weird spongy thing on the beach. The orange things, have you seen them? No, but I hear they're deadly. I'm not joking when I say I've never seen more vomit in the space of an afternoon in my whole life. That's what you want though, you want them to get it out.

We've talked about on the show before

how none of us really have a hobby. Yeah. Oh, I kind of have picked one up over the years. What is it? I'm picking your nose and eating it. It's not a hobby. It's a character flaw. Pardon you.

You've never seen me do that, you can't say that I do. I know that you do it because you used to stick them to your window in your car, the driver's side window. Why are you making- And I checked your car recently and there's no boogies there anymore. You know, I was about to make something up about you that was incriminating, but we could just talk

about the time you used to shave your pubes into the towels and then put the towels back into the cupboard and then your wife would use the towels and be like why do I keep getting hairs in my mouth? Alright, alright, alright. See mine was true. The level of escalation was unnecessary. All we could talk about the time you went to the Hogan Ticker. Just leave it, just leave it, okay? I will literally, I'm not having that broadcast. Wild food festival and you had an experience with a certain substance that you drank there. I think you've learnt your lesson. I'm happy for you to say real stuff. Mine was light-hearted and fun.

No, but what if people believe it? Say at least say something true like I pooed in the ocean. Say it like that. I don't have anything. Is that all you have on me? I'm sure there'd be other stuff. Do your dumb topic. There's an article out today talking about how grandma hobbies, and this is what they've called them. I have not personally called them that, but grandma hobbies are very good for people and there's a rise in young people taking up grandma-ish hobbies.

Yeah. You're still upset at me, aren't you? No, no. Is it because I said them all at once? Just so we're clear the next time? Like, can I say one on the... Which one would you prefer? I feel like you need new ones. Yeah, okay. Well, you need to give would you prefer? I feel like you need new ones.

Yeah okay well you need to give them to me. I feel like you need new ones. Like in the future though. No I'm not going to do more worse stuff just so you can use it against me that's not how it works. Just for my like peace of mind though in the future if I have to hone in on one like if I have pick one, would you rather the towel pubes one or would you rather the Hokitika Wild Food Festival one? Like which one would you rather? I didn't put the towels back in the cupboard, okay? I put them in the wash. And then where would they go? Where would they go? They go back in the cupboard. Brie wants to know what your grandma hobbies are this afternoon. Do you like crochet? Do you like knitting? Do you like gardening? See that's my favorite. I've really got into gardening. I'm obsessed with it. I just love it. Good for you man aren't you? No I'm good. We will open up the phone lines to people now on 0800DIALSATM to share their grandma

Hi, how are you? Good, thank you, mate. Tell us what's your grandma hobby. Oh, I'm proud to, what's your grandma hobby? Oh, I'm proud to say it's aqua aerobics. Aqua aerobics! Stop it, Mel, with the floaty belt. I love it.

How long have you been doing that? About six months, and I'm bringing down the average age every time I come out. Well, how old are you, Mel, if you don't mind us asking? I'm 43. Okay, so you're very young. Most people in the class are 60 plus. Yeah. Right.

And do they love it that you're in there? Oh yeah, they're all good. What made you- The oldest one that I'm aware of is about 90. That's amazing. I'm a four year old too. That is amazing. Yeah.

What made you want to get into- They are incredible. Aqua aerobic smell. Well, I have only started exercising recently and I was looking for something low-impact that didn't involve sweating. So aqua aerobics, check those boxes. That sounds like the perfect exercise. Yeah you've nailed it. Do you feel the burn after an aqua aerobics class? Believe it or not you can. You can get a good workout in. I'm keen. No gross sweating. Can I suggest Mel...? You are sweating. It's just going into the pool.

Yeah, it's in the water. Well, that's true. Yeah. Can I suggest, because I also do a similar thing, Pilates, if you do the low, the low level ones. Yeah. Quite good for that. You need to get into aqua Pilates. Awesome. Yeah. Get into aqua Pilates. In the underwater machine.

All right. Thanks for those guys. Those were fantastic. What's macrame? Macrame. What's macrame? I think it's basket making. Oh. Yeah. Basket making? Yeah.

I'm not gonna order that. Like those hanging things, you know, you can have the plants that hang from the ceiling and that little ropey basket thingy. Oh, I love that stuff. I think that's macrame. Yeah, right. You've got the rest of your life to figure this out, mate.

I better remember that, because the next time I go to my favourite Thai restaurant, I'll order that instead of edamame. Macrame, Benz. ZN's Brian Clint. Cool holiday's over today, everybody back to school. A lot of kids in the car on the way home from school at the moment.

Hi, guys. G'day, guys. This concerns you guys, but more the people that you're talking to. I saw this post and it said, what's an example you have of kids not understanding age and making you feel old? Mine was when the kids I was babysitting asked

if I had kids. I was 16. That's because the concept of age is very different to a kid. Absolutely. You know. And to a kid, oh you're in charge of us, you must be in charge of other kids of your own. You know? Yeah. I feel like you're an adult. You're 16, you're an adult. For kids there's like three different age groups. Yeah. You know? There's like, or maybe even two age groups. I feel like it's 20s to 50s. Yeah. You know, there's like, or maybe even two age groups. I feel like it's twenties to fifties.

Yeah. And then fifties to a hundreds. Yeah, right. You know, that's the two age groups. I reckon, yeah, it depends what age group you're in, because I reckon if you're 20 right now, there's two age groups. There's 20 to 26, and then there's 27 to about 85. That's all about the same. Yeah right. You know? Yeah it's just two age groups that they see you're either in one or the other. For kids though probably there's little kids, big kids and adults.

Oh there's multiple. Yeah. Yeah. Here's another one. They said about a year ago I said to a kid nice scooter and he replied okay boomer I'm 32 I Was walking in the park and a little kid came barreling down the path on a bike with his 10 year old brother screaming Don't crash into the old lady. Watch out for the old lady I was looking around to see where the imperiled old lady was and I realised he meant me. I was 29. I'd be so gutted at that one. That one, I get gutted now when someone calls me ma'am.

I'm not a ma'am. Am I a ma'am? Do I look like a ma'am? Do you remember the other week when Ella referred to me as an older man? Yes I did. Ella, our 23 year old producer, referred to me, Clint Roberts, 38, as an older man? Yes I did. Ella, our 23 year old producer, referred to me, Clint Roberts, 38, as an older man. Like do you get offended to be called sir? What's like the equivalent

of mam to you? Good question. Like don't call me mam. What do you want? Miss? Miss. Miss. I'm fine with miss. Okay yeah here's another one. A few years ago I told my four-year-old kid look that's Michelle Obama she's the first lady. He looked at me with big eyes and said ever. The first lady ever. Ever. Last one my four-year year old son approached me with a very solemn expression and he said Dad, why did you guys let the dinosaurs die? Do you know my four year old asked me earlier this year if I was around with dinosaurs? I can't remember the wording that she used but she's basically said when you were a kid

there were dinosaurs right? A clintosaurus. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and there wasn't, by the way, if there's any kids listening. I'm glad you clarified that because we were all actually wondering. Yeah. So that's good that you-

No, not that old. Okay. Not that old. Okay, sir. Okay. Calm down, sir. We want to know, when did a kid make you feel old? What's the thing that a kid said and they didn't understand age, they didn't understand time, they didn't understand

how it all works. What's the thing that they said to you that made you feel like a decrepit old person? I was trying to think of, because I mean I'm sure there's been many times over the years, but my nephew the last time when I was home for Christmas and it was, it was was it's always so innocent. Pointed and he was touching my forehead and he said to me, Auntie Rana why do you have big divots in your head and they're my wrinkles. Yeah right. They're the line. He goes why do you have lines on your head. Why do you have lines in there? R. But, Rana, bumpy. Why are your forehead bumpy? Oh, $100 at M.

Or you can text us into 9696 we want to know when a kid made you feel old. We're asking you the question, what's an example you have of kids not understanding age and making you feel old because of it? Like this text that's come in, they said, my stepdaughter made me feel old when she said to me, I am so old that I will be dead by the time she turns 20.

I'm 23 and she's six. Dead. Dead they reckon. That's how old, that's how much older she is. How much older she thinks you are. Yeah. Dominic has caught up. Hi, Dominic. Hi Dominic. Hi. Have you got an example for us Dom? Yeah, so my daughter likes to say, oh when you were young in the early 1900s I'm 33. Born in 1992. You were born in the late 1900s, thank you very much. Yeah.

The very late 1900s. Do you understand though, and you would understand, and this is where we don't get it as adults, we were born in a different century to these children. That's huge. Well not, like not just a different century, a different millennia. A different, oh yeah, you're right.

Yeah, so different. They go, well how long is a millennia? And you go, a thousand years? And they go, wow, you're a thousand years older than me. You look, you're right. They're so different. They go, well, how long is a millennia? And you go a thousand years and they go, wow, you're a thousand years older than me. You look pretty good for a thousand years. Thanks, Dom, that's perfect. I love this one.

It says, one of my boys had just started school and asked me very seriously if I used to get to school on a horse and cart. And was it black and white? Was the world black and white? What was it like when they invented the wheel? I was looking after my friend's eight year old on the weekend and she said to me, you're really good at having grey hair. Oh that one would hurt me. Especially if you just had a couple, you know, you had a couple of grey hairs sprinkled through that you thought, oh no one's going to notice.

No one's going to notice. Yeah, yeah, it's just a bit of character. Kim's here. Hi Kim. Hi Kim. Hi, how are you? Hi, we're good. Who's the kid who made you feel old, Kim?

Me! Sorry, sorry. There they are. Your passenger. Yeah. She's 10 now, but when she was about 5, she crawled into bed sort of early in the morning, but like there was already light coming through the windows. And I was like, oh, just come into bed for a little bit.

And you know, I thought I was trying to sleep a bit longer. So I had my eyes closed. She was obviously staring at me and she goes, mommy, why did you go to bed with purple makeup on? And I was like, so I opened my eyes and looked at it, I was like, I don't have purple makeup on. And she's like, yes, you do. And she points to my eye bag.

Oh, no. Emotional damage. I don't remember that. No, you don't remember it. No, that's not your fault. Yeah, that means it didn't happen if you don't remember it. Emotional damage. Yeah.

Yeah, well, that's one way to proud your insecurities that's when you turn to the kid and you say they're bags and you gave them to me thank you very much. Yeah I don't quite remember what I said but I should have. Thanks Kim. Sometimes kids are too honest. Someone else texted and they said my 12 year old daughter tells me I'm old constantly because I part my hair on the side. Apparently if it's not parted in the middle, you are old, I am 34. Don't worry whoever that person is,

I've gone through the same turmoil these past how many years? You transitioned. Yeah, but you know what? I still regret it. No, you do not. I still feel like I'm better. Claudia, you back me up.

All it took was two compliments, right? And she was so on board. You were like, I'm never gonna do not. I still feel like I'm better. Claudia you back me up. All it took was two compliments right and she was so on board. You're like I'm never gonna do it I'll just do it for today and you've never gone back. I don't think you've ever gone back. No but that's because I got so many compliments from so many people I still think it looks better the other way. And I remember the compliments got complicated because you were like are you saying that I looked bad before. Exactly. Yeah yeah. Exactly so I was like hmm. I was brushing my niece's hair and she looked at me and said, Auntie, would you like me to brush your lip hair?

Little shit made me feel so insecure I booked an upper lip thread the next day. Oh no. Brush your lip hair? Anyway, they're just kids, okay? Turn the internet off, then see who's laughing. Yeah. Honestly though, I feel like when a kid says something, it hurts even more because you know that they're just being honest. There's no malice in a day, they're just stating facts.

They're not doing it to hurt you. Yeah, yeah, good point. You know, if an adult says something to me, I'm like, oh. Yeah, they're exaggerating to hurt my feelings. Exactly. That kid really did think you had a hairy lip. The ZM Podcast Network. Oh, it's meant to have some music ready.

Everything's gone to hell in a handbasket. Hang on. Can you do a breaking news thing, like with your mouth? Can you do that? Okay. Okay, cause there's a new segment. And are you ready, Claudia, for the new segment? I'm always ready.

We're under time pressure. Okay. Everybody get, for the new segment? I'm always ready. We're under time pressure. Okay. Everybody get ready for the new segment. Good news with Claudia. Boop boop boop ba doop boop ba doop boop boop ba doop boop ba dee. Is that breaking news? You said good news. I said do breaking news.

Oh, okay. One more time. Okay. Here's the new segment. Good news with Claudia. Boop boop boop boop boop boop boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Sorry, you pressed the same button. I know, Claudia, what's the good news?

Oh my gosh, a dog that's been missing for nearly two years has been found. That is good news. There is more to this story though, isn't there? There's so much to it. So there's a sausage dog, her name is Valerie. I love that name. That is even better.

It's such a good name. She went missing in November 2023 in South Australia in this place called Kangaroo Island. Her and her parents were there for a holiday. 2023? Yeah, November 2023, 529 days ago. This is crazy. Crazy, so she got loose.

I think her parents went to the beach. She wanted to follow, so she broke out of her cage, she went bush and they never saw her again until earlier this year she appeared, someone saw her on a wildlife camera and they've been tracking her ever since. 529 days later, they've got her. She's home. A sausage dog survived for two years on an island. Didn't they try and catch her multiple times and she could not be caught? She was wearing her bright pink collar

and she kept getting spooked. So they made this thing, they called it a comfort trap where they basically put out a little cage and gave her the opportunity to like come and go freely. What's in the comfort trap? Is it like, you know, the dog's emotional support show? Like his friend's arms. Yeah, you know, like.

Little bowl or something. No, her mum's t-shirt was in there. A candle. Some smells, yeah. Interesting, a mum's friend's on. Snacks. Yeah, you know like. Little bowl or something. No, her mum's t-shirt was in there. A candle. The smells. Interesting, her mum's candle. The smells, some snacks. So she was allowed to come and go freely so she got used to it and wasn't scared of it.

And then so one day she walked on in, they closed the door behind her. Bob's your uncle. Got the dog. I'd fall for a comfort trap. Me too. But that'd be the way to get me. What would be in your comfort trap? The people I love.

It'd be pretty easy to get me. Just put some lorazepam in there, I'll go straight in. A bag of shredded cheese and some pharmaceuticals. I'm straight in there. He's like, take me now! Alright, that is the first and maybe last good news with Claudia. Boop ba doop ba doop, boop ba doop, boop ba doop, boop ba doop, boop ba da.

Intro needs work, Bree and Clint. It's ZM's Bree and Clint podcast. The show's brought to you by NEON. You can get the new, latest episode of The Last of Us tonight on NEON episode three, season two comes out. I feel like everyone's itching for a two after. I am, after the thing. The devastation that occurred last week.

Don't say too much. That's all I'm gonna say. It's out tonight, you can get amongst that on NEON. The Tea, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, this might be one of the biggest stories in entertainment over the last couple of weeks. Talk us through the fallout of Jojo Siwa going onto UK Big Brother,

and now potentially her partner have broken up. They have definitely broken up. So let me set the scene. So Jojo was on Celebrity Big Brother. She got very, very close with Chris Hughes. He was on Love Island. He's a TV host in the UK. Really close, massaging each other and cuddling, all's a TV host in the UK, really close, massaging each other and

cuddling and all this kind of thing in the house. And while she was in the house, Jojo said on camera, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer. I think she sort of changed how she describes her sexuality in the house. She gets out of the house and then at the after party, her Australian lover, Cass Eds, has shared that actually Jojo broke up with Cass at the after party. Like get out of the house, stop Cass. Wow. And that's how it's played out.

I always think about this when someone's on a real, like a live reality TV show. And if you decide that you want to pursue a relationship with someone but you're already in a relationship you have no way of communicating with that person outside but they get to see everything. Yeah it's it's a really hard one in a messy situation do I think Jojo wanted to get with Chris Hughes from Love Island? No, I don't think so. I think they had a very special friendship and connection that made JoJo maybe rethink some stuff about herself. But I feel like, yeah, Kath Ebs has been... Shafted....has been dragged through it quite a lot because no one wants any of that to happen so publicly. Every day they'd be going, have you seen the new episode? Have you seen what happened?

Have you seen what JoJo did last night? It's very, very messy. So, Bree might remember this. Back in 2012, I was on Big Brother Australia for three days and I was a fake housemate. They brought me in for three days. Basically, it was like a stunt. So let me tell you something about being Big Brother.

You become, first of all, you go a little bit crazy. You go a little bit white, like your brain goes a little bit like, you're in this weird little bubble and you become so close. Like, family or something, it's really, really, really intense. You bond, right? Yeah. And then you're like, what just happened? So I don't even know whether her. And you were in there for three days. I didn't even know that you were in there for three days, Dean. How did I not know that? Yeah, it's hilarious.

Is that there? Yeah, I got brought in to terrorize the main. There was a gay guy in there. He was so popular, everyone thought he was going to win. Actually, he did win. He actually did win in the end. But I went in, they brought me in to kind of like terrorize and like upset him because, oh, there's this new guy and he's more fun and playful. I added the fun and playful bit. But that was my own. We gotta look this up, Dean. We gotta find the videos.

Yeah, I'll save you clips. Yeah, fascinating. But yeah, the moral of the story, it's not a real space and you do behave differently than you would in the real world. They do say it's a very real theory when people go on reality shows that they end up breaking up with their long term partners. Like it happens a lot. Well that's the tea from our man inside, in his words, the gay terrorist, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint, we're going gonna add our last item to cart straight after this on ZM. It's ZM's Brian Clint podcast. ZM Brian Clint that's

Lorde's new one. Came out end of last week it's her first US number one since Royals. Oh it's already shot to the top. It's straight to number one and it's the first song that she's had since Royals to go number one there. Even with Greenlight and things like that, it's already bigger than that in the States. I'm not surprised. Like when I say I love it, I mean, like I'm deeply obsessed. I feel like she's back in a huge way. And I'm so excited to hear the rest of the album.

She it sounds cliche, but she gave the people what they wanted. Oh, yeah. As an artist, but she gave the people what they wanted. As an artist, I think that's hard to do sometimes. Question, because you know how I have said for years and years, like I want... You want Old Lord back. Yeah, I want the old school Lord vibe and sound back. When you heard the full song, were you like, Brie's gonna be happy?

Yes. Straight away. I sent it through to the chat. Oh no, I didn't. Oh no, I didn't. I let everybody have the whole... I was gonna send it through to the chat. Oh, no, I didn't. Oh, no, I didn't. I let everybody have a hold of it. I was going to send it through to the chat and get everybody's feels, but no, I knew. Obsessed. Absolutely obsessed.

I want to talk about this crazy clip of George Clooney. He was on, I think, like Good Morning America or something. And talking about his relationship with Amal Clooney, who they've been together since 2014. They've got a couple of kids. And he was talking about their relationship and he said this. Amal and I, you know, I remember we said

we'd never had an argument. We still haven't. You still haven't? No, we're trying to find something to fight about. I think because I started so late with them all. I've never had an argument, ever. Even if they haven't, that statement does not endear you to people.

Why do you say that? Like it does not make people like you or think that you're relatable. They just think, this prick. You, this son of a bitch. And then people go, when you look at people like George and Amal, you go, well, what would you have to fight about? That's a fair statement. If your life is perfect.

But I don't care, though, because no one's life is perfect. And anyone who's been in a long term relationship... Well, so that's the human condition as well, to find problems. If you're telling me that a relationship exists, a long-term relationship where there's no arguments, to me, that's a huge red flag. Because someone is not saying,

or speaking up in certain moments. Are you saying that you both align perfectly on how you stack the dishwasher? It's ridiculous. You know, there's not even a bug to be here about the way you put the toilet roll on. There's both of you squeegee the shower if you care about squeegeeing the shower afterwards. At the end of the day, no matter how much you love a person. She likes the way George drives.

Really? You still annoy the crap out of them on certain things. You know? Yeah. Yeah, totally. It doesn't mean you don't love each other. Yeah. But I feel like a healthy normal relationship, and this is just my opinion, there has to be disagreement. There has to be arguments because... And there has to be resolution. Yeah. That's part of it. And that's what having a real relationship is. Totally. You know? You need to be resolution. Yeah. That's part of it. And that's what having a real relationship is. Totally. You know?

You need to be able to have hard conversations and know that you'll come back together afterwards. I just call BS. Maybe they haven't spent enough time together. I don't know. Maybe. You know? Maybe he's off doing his own thing and she's like.

Yeah, he's off filming movies and whatever. She's at Lake Como and that's what works for them. So they just have, you know, they never are out of that honeymoon stage because they see each other for a couple of weeks. They've got kids. There's no way. They've got kids. It's wild. Wild to me. I thought, because George Clooney and Amal apparently just have the most perfect relationship, let's do the opposite. And I want to know from people this afternoon on 0800 dials.nm what is the most ridiculous argument or fight that you had with your partner? What was it over? The tiniest thing. Where you're just kind of like... Afterwards you were like that was stupid. But at the time... But at the time it mattered. It really mattered.

At the time it was enough to throw your toys out of the cot. 0800 dials.nm or text it to 9696. We would love to hear about it. Play ZM's Bree and Clint. George Clooney and Amal Clooney apparently have the most perfect relationship ever, that they have never had an argument, a disagreement, or a fight in their entire relationship.

And my reaction was a common one when I heard that. I was like, well, why would you? Why would you argue with George Clooney? But that's the thing about a relationship. And my reaction was a common one when I heard that I was like well why would you? Why would you argue with George Clooney? But that's the thing about a relationship. You could be in a relationship with freaking George Clooney or a male Clooney and eventually they'd get annoying. Of course. Eventually they would do something enough times they would piss you off and you would snap and you would say something. Because human beings at the core we are annoying. We're annoying. We are annoying and so when you spend enough time. And we are annoyed. You know?

Yeah. We are irritable beings, you know? So when you spend enough time with someone, you're gonna get annoyed. We asked what the most ridiculous argument that happened in your relationship. Someone texted and said, probably the stupidest one for us is what time I have to leave for work. I want to know more detail. Why would he argue with you about what time you've got to leave for work? I bet she was probably like, I have to leave at this time. Cause then I get there at this time. He's like, nah, nah, nah, nah. You got to leave early out.

Either you got to leave earlier or later and then they would have got into it. And he's invested. Someone said, you guys know that all of these messages are gonna be from hormonal women, right? All our stupid arguments have been started by me once a month. I mean, fair.

Someone else said, I'm a police officer. I once attended an argument between a couple that had become very heated. He had bought strawberry flavoured protection. Oh, okay. And she didn't like strawberries. And the police were called in. That's a heated discussion. She really didn't like strawberries.

Really didn't. Maybe she was allergic. Excuse me because I'm not in the market for those things. But are strawberry ones a bit retro? I don't know. Do they still? Don't ask me. No one's less in the market than you. Claudia, are you a newly single? Are the strawberry ones still? Hey don't ask me. None of us know. None of us know. None of us know. Go be pathetic. Were people buying a lot of those anyway? I remember getting them for free at the Big Day Out. Yeah. That's my... What other flavours did they have? Banana? Banana. I mean that's kind of fitting isn't it? You know I've never understood why they don't do a black one.

What do you mean? Like a black one. I'm sure they do. Do they? Yeah. Oh, guys would get into that, wouldn't they? Cause then you could do an All Blacks branded one. Of course, yeah.

And then you could put their different All Blacks players faces on them. Yeah, or numbers. You know? You could have like a 10 on the, on it, like Dan Carter. Put your favourite one on there. And then, you know.

This is fricking genius. There's some shoddy All Blacks merch out there at the moment. I saw some come up in my feed. Should we do a foul show? It was All Blacks fragranced balls to hang from your car mirror. Imagine you could get All Blacks fragranced balls, but combine them with an All Blacks.

That's a great Christmas present. Prophylactic. Should we, as a radio station, create some merch for this show? Black rubbers. And put our faces on them. You know? No.

Because I don't want to be associated with one that fails. I don't want to be, if a child comes from it, an unintended child and they're like, you know whose fault this is? Bloody Clint Roberts from ZM. Yeah, but isn't that a magical gift? Yeah. You know? Well, I guess as long as we put enough disclaimers on it. Yeah. I mean, has anyone else done that before? Has that merch been created? I don't know. I'm not against it. Cause I mean-

I'm not against it. I'm not against it. Because I mean, you would be left, like if it's a good experience in those moments, where the last thing you know, you would see is like our faces. Yeah, yeah. And you'd be like, oh.

And you said to your partner, what are you in the mood for tonight, a Brie or a Clint? What were we talking about? I forgot. I don't know. All those ideas are copyrighted by the way. Not that you'd want to steal them but those are our ideas. Shotgun. ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Brie's just nipped out but Claudia we've had a bit of feedback on our ZM branded prophylactics. Okay. Rubbers? Yeah, that'll do. Connies? Protection.

Protection, yeah that's right. This idea that we had that you could get a Brie or a Clint and it would be good marketing for the show. Someone has texted in and said, all I can imagine is a rubber with Vaughan's face and the tip looks like his beanie. Thanks guys, I may never have S-E-X again. Oh no, now I'm imagining a flesh.

The Vaughan one would be spiky because it would have a beard. I wasn't thinking that the hat would be on the end if you know what I mean. Yeah, oh. I was thinking like patterns with lots of little faces on it. But we can workshop it, it doesn't have to be that traumatising. It's a brainstorm. Oh welcome back Bri. Someone just said they don't want to get ZM branded thingies because the Vaughan one would have a beanie on the end of it. But I think that's kind of cute. Yeah for you know it'd be like kind of bumpy.

The Fletch one would have a Fletchy cap. Vaughan's one would be bumpy for the other person's pleasure. Your one would have a piercing in the end of it for your nose ring. You have a piercing just off to the side of it. You could run into trouble with that. Yeah you could. Anyway, we're going to play How Many Next. If you're keen, 0800 dollars a day. You've got to have the most of something that Claudia has decided.

You will definitely have this thing in your house by the way. Everyone has it. Everyone has it. Except for producer Ella. She's the only person I've ever met who doesn't have this thing. I think she still has it but she doesn't use it. If you've got the most of today's thing you're gonna score 50kfc chicken dollars. Daddy Franklin. How many? How many? How many? That's a good amount. The game you win if you have the most of the thing. And Emma is gonna give it a go today.

Hi Emma. Hi Emma. Hi. You got a lot of things? Oh I reckon. Yeah I mean it's good. You got plenty of things? Only good things.

Have you got enough things? That's what we all need, right? The challenge is knowing when we have enough things. I reckon, I reckon. Yeah, good. Sometimes I just feel like I need more things. I know, but that's just trying to fill a hole inside yourself. You can never have enough. That's right, Emma. It's a fool's errand. Exactly. Baker's dozen. Capotato, capotato. Claudia, in Ella's absence, can you please concisely explain how many the game? Yes, I will definitely do my best. This is how many.

The point of the game is to have the most of something. There is a topic every week. You just have to have the most out of Bree, Clint or myself. You can pick one of us to go head to head with. Very good. The topic today, how many pillows are on your bed? Good one. I think people have very strong opinions about what the correct number is. If by people you mean Bree. It's caused fights on this show before. No I was very cool, calm and collected about the topic. Emma let's start with you. First of all do you sleep alone or with somebody else?

Ah, no, I don't sleep alone with my partner. You sleep with a partner? Okay. And how many pillows, once it's made, are on your bed, Emma? Nine. Nine? Holy! Very decorative around here.

Nine pillows on the bed. Emma, you now need to choose the person you believe will have less than nine pillows on their bed. I'm gonna go with you, Clint. Me? Yeah. You think I'd have less than nine? Yeah.

I also don't sleep alone. Yeah, I can't... There's a woman and a cat in my bed. But that's okay, lock me in. I feel like the cat would like a blanket. Yeah, okay. You've excluded Bree. Bree, how many pillows on your bed? Emma, if it was up to me, it was just me in my bed, there'd be maximum four.

But... Oh yeah? My partner says different, and in total we have six. Six? Oh you would have won if you chose Brie. Two big Europeans. Yep and then normal size. No.

You got a euro and a sleeping pillow each. We got one of the square ones and then we've got like a king pillow that's like a normal size pillow but longer and then a smaller one that sits in front of that one. Oh god what an arrangement. So there's six. Okay Claudia how many pillows on your bed? Hello I have what I believe to be the correct number of pillows and that is four. Uproar! Four. Two on each side. But you sleep alone? Yep so I've got two really good ones for me and then the kind of ratty ones on the other side. What if she has a guest?

Yeah, good point. You know if you have a sleepover, do you swap one of the ratty ones out for one of the ones? Oh, I would have to. Ha ha ha. Depends on how much you like the person. God, you would have won if you chose Claudia, Emma. Shut up.

Just me now. You have nine. I can confirm that on my bed bed there is a total of eight pillows oh close call two sleeping pillows each two European pillows total and two decorative pillows total yeah I just get you with this three decor ones yeah yeah yeah god how I wonder how long you spend putting your pillows on and off. On and off the bed.

Yeah, I have to fluff them up all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then karate chop them. Emma, you win, we're gonna get you some KFC, congratulations. Thanks so much, thank you. Well done, and congrats on all the pillows. It means you've made it. What is the correct amount of pillows? I think four.

Yeah, right. That's my personal view. Yeah, yeah. I don't mind six. I've come around to it because relationships are about compromise. And my belief is whatever my wife wants. What do you actually think? I honestly could not care less.

There could be 18 pillows on there. Because you're not making the bed. So long as she lets me sleep in it, I'm good. Are you making the bed? Yeah. Yeah. We believe you. On Sundays.

Oh, we got the clip. Do we get the clip loaded? I feel like the clip will be in the system. Claude, did we get the clip for this? Did we get the clip of the twins? You yelled at me and I'm scared. What happened? You got the clip of the system. Claude, did we get the clip for this? Did we get the clip of the twins? Did you ask, Claudia? You yelled at me and I'm scared. What happened? You got the clip of the twins.

No, I don't, but I'll find it. OK, there's these two twins from the news in Australia and they've gone viral because they just finish each other's sentences. They don't even finish each other's sentences. They talk in unison. Yeah. Like they talk at the same time and they say the same thing.

One will stop talking though and the other one will pick up. It's bizarre if you've watched the clip. You will have seen it. It's absolutely bonkers viral at the moment. Yeah, it's gone everywhere. I think Jimmy Kimmel over in America even like had them on his show. Like it's huge. If you haven't seen it, this is the twins talking about it's like there's someone who has, there's something that's happened to their mum. Have a listen. One guy, he was up there with our mum and he went up there and he was coming back down towards us and he goes, run, he's got a gun.

And our hearts started to pound and I said, oh mum, where's mum? And poor mum was stuck up there by the pan with our brave mum. She goes, are you all right? Because he had all blood all over his face and he goes, I'll shoot you. She goes, hey, I'm here to help. I've watched it a bunch of times. It's so weird. They don't look at each other's lips. They just, it's like they're the same person. They could have practised it. Yeah, they could have practised it.

You know the part I find the most interesting? Well, actually it's not the most interesting. The whole thing is interesting. But where they refer to themselves as, like they'll say, our? Like they never just say like I thought this or like they're always speakers appear they speak they refer to themselves appear our mom exactly yeah yeah yeah it's fascinating my mom or you know it doesn't

help that they're wearing the exact same thing as well they're identical twins mm-hmm they're wearing I want to say bunny scrubs. They look like nurse scrubs. Kind of look like nurses scrubs don't they? Imagine. Like maybe they work in a kids ward or something like that. Imagine those two coming into your hospital room and giving you bad news. You'd have to. They're like, hi, we've got your, you meant to join me. Oh sorry. I was like, what's it gonna be? Test results.

And it's bad news. Unfortunately, you've got Chlamydia. And it's terminal. Terminal. You couldn't take it seriously. We wanna know if you're a twin, what's your weird twin power that you have? Like these twins have the ability to speak in unison. I would love to hear them on the phone to each other.

Like do they speak at the same time on the phone? How does that work? But do you have something? It might not be that. It might be the ability to communicate telepathically. We do hear of twin powers. It could be that you show up at, whenever you show up to an event, like a family event, you don't live together, but you show up in the same outfit.

Maybe you go to the toilet, like you do poos, at the exact same time as each other every day. Exactly, yeah, yeah. And you text each other. Yeah, you're like, are you? Are you? Yeah, are you? On the toilet now? That would be weird. Whatever it is, we find you guys fascinating. So if you are a twin and you believe that you have a strange superpower, we're keen

to hear about it. ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. It's Sharon, Azzy Zam on ZM, Bri and Clint. That was good. See see we're getting better. We're talking about those Aussie twins, Bridget and Paula Powers from Queensland. They were on the news after their mum was involved in a carjacking and the world cannot handle the way they speak. And one guy, he was up there with our mum and he went up there and he was coming back down towards us and he goes, run. He's got a gun.

Is this the new... and he came bounding over. Run! Yeah, it is I think. It's a new one. We haven't had a New Zealand one for ages. The last New Zealand was probably the having a couple of dots guy. Waiting for a mate. Yeah, I'll wait for a mate was Aussie, but that was a good one.

Oh, was it? Yeah, yeah. And the blow on the pop cop, blow on the pie cop. That was good. He was a goodie too. Do you remember the Aussie one? And the guy ran down the street in these undies and thongs. Yes.

Yeah. And he was like, oh. Chasing the guy. Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty good. That was good. See, if we didn't turn all our bloody news channels off, we'd get more of these, wouldn't we?

Anyway, we wanna know, are you a twin? And do you have a weird twin power like those ladies do? Gemma's here, hi Gemma. Hi Gemma. Hi, how are you? Good thanks, do you have an unexplainable twin power? I do, so I have an identical twin. Okay. And sometimes we'd be in the same

room together and we would start singing like the same song same part at the exact same time. Whoa! Weird! That's about as freaky as a get though. Yeah what do you think your twins doing right now? Like, well. Like dial in. Tap into it. We are eating some food because she's in Perth and that's what she's always doing. That's crazy because we've got your twin on the line. Thanks, Gemma. That's good. Let's talk to Jamie. Hi, Jamie. How's it going?

We're good. Thank you. You're twin and you got a weird twin power? Yeah, it's more my sister that has the power but I'm epileptic She's not and if I ever have a seizure she gets you know cropped to the gut. Wow! Wow! See that is amazing We talked to it's similar but not the same we talked to someone recently who said their mum gets their hangover When they drink they don't get hangovers But they'll get a text from their mum saying, you went out last night, didn't you? Because I am crook as.

Interesting. Yeah. But I mean, I understand it more with the twin thing. Yeah, fascinating. Okay, thanks, Jamie. Someone said, where are we? Where are we? Oh, me and my twin went to Mitre 10 and we both ended up with the same products at the counter. Yeah, but were you there up with the same products at the counter. Yeah, but were you there to get that same? The same products. Yeah.

Hey, producer Claude, can you try and get my mom, Mama Di on the line, because she's a twin, and you watch, you give her an inch. She always talks about how her and her twin They've got something. have this telepathic connection. All right, well dial up Mama Di. Someone said, sometimes if my two year old twins are

apart, the one that's with me will say the other one is sad and if I call the person that has the other twin, that twin will actually be crying and upset. Two year olds are quite often crying and upset though. Yeah, I mean that's a cynical way to look at it, but yeah. Not always, no not always. I believe, terrible twos I've heard. Not always. Someone says, me and my twin sister often,

more often than not, will turn up at family events in very similar clothing, usually the same colour palette and style. We went to an escape room together recently, casual Friday night and we both turned up in a tight black dress and a pink trench coat, hair down and curled. That is a strange coincidence that you went in a pink trench coat. Because of how unusual the outfit is.

Where do you find two pink trench coats, let alone one? They probably bought them together. Yeah, they're like, we'll have them. Mama Di is here. Hi Mama Di. Hi Mum. Hi guys, how are you going? Yeah, well, have them. Mama Di is here. Hi, Mama Di. Hi, Mum. Hi, guys. How are you going? Good, thanks. I was just telling the nation about the incredible twin

powers that you and Julie have. Absolutely. I mean, the worst part is if she has the hangover, I get it, and I don't even have the enjoyment of it the night before. Wait, so that happens to you as well? Oh yes. That's not just a cover for your secret drinking.

When you were hungover you were like, oh Julie must have had a big night last night. Bloody Julie. Well I always blame her for a lot of things but not for that. Any other weird like twin instances? Absolutely, all through our lives if we've turned up to an event and I mean we live out there away from each other we're usually a lot of the time in there nearly exactly the same colouring. Clothes? Clothes.

Oh yeah. Well clothes-wise, even to the fact that for my son's wedding, she's turned up in exactly the same colours, but she had a pant-suit on and I had a dress on, but exactly the same colours. Do you remember that story you told me about the birth of one of your children? Aidan. Yes. Tell us that story. Yes, Julie was living in Cairns and I was obviously having him in Toowoomba. She knew I was in labour and my mum and dad were up there at the

time and she was ironing and she looked up at the clock and she said Diane's just had the baby and it's 13 minutes past 10 o'clock. And was she spot on was she? Yes. Because when Steven rang, she said, what time was he born? And he said 13 minutes past 10. I heard she was just calling up to find that out because she was running an illegal betting ring as to when you, as to when you would have it. That's actually what happened.

Oh no. Doesn't, don't Cairns and Queensland have a different time zone? No. Yeah, I think it might do mum, now that you think about it. She might've been an hour out. No, North Queensland's still the same as us. Oh, okay. Just checking. She didn't account for daylight savings.

Does daylight savings affect twin radar? Yeah, that's something we need to drill into. Yeah, if you're in a different state. Last question, have you ever had the hots for the same fella? Absolutely not. Fair enough. Good to think about it. No I better rephrase that she always had the hots for my husband. Yeah there you go. I don't need to know this, it's gonna make Christmas even weirder. Don't worry Di, most of the women here at ZM have the hots for your husband so it's all good.

ZM have the hots for your husband so it's all good. Claudia don't put your thumbs up to that. See you Di, love you. Bye Di. Love you guys, have a great day. The ZM podcast network. Time for birthday banger. All I want from my birthday is a birthday banger. Birthday banger's back, hope you missed it.

He knows your birthday. You were 16 though Cathy. He probably knows your birthday banger to be honest. In 1992 and here's your birthday banger. Oh boys to men. End of the road. That's what it would have been for Toby if he didn't get your birthday correct, eh Cathy?

Hi guys. Hi. Thanks for calling through. Before we do this, have you memorised your mum's date of birth? You know her birthday? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we trust you.

Luca and Charlie, what is mum's birthday? The 7th of May 1985. Oh, you've crushed that in unison. Is that the twins speak? I know. Your mum was 16, that means, in 2001, and here's her birthday back. Atomic Cannon and Hole Again. She will be, it's such a great song guys. It's a great one. She likes it guys.

Yeah, she loves it. I mean, can't go wrong with Atomic Kitten. No you can't. We're going to do Holly's birthday banger finally. It's not just a kitten. It's also atomic. It's a radioactive kitten. Holly's here. Holly, are you going to do yours or your mum's? Me please, all about me. Fair enough. Yes, good on you Holly. We'll do your birthday banger.

What is your date of birth? 13th of March 1998. Alright, that means you were 16 Holly. In 2014 we've done our calculations and here's your birthday banger. Oh, it's a bit of Jess Glenn. That's a forgotten banger in my opinion. Route 94 My Love. It was a weird, it must have been a weird week if this went to number one. It's so alternative.

But I love it. It's a tune. Do you like it Holly? I do like it. I thought it was newer than that old. Yeah. It's 11 years old. It is a tune. I love it. I don't know do you like it Holly? I do like it, I thought it was newer than that old.

Yeah, it's 11 years old. It is a tune. I love it. I don't know how it got to number one though. Jess Glynn was, she was popular. Not in 2014. You don't reckon? I don't know. I think that's when she was the most popular.

Look it doesn't matter because we're voting for Atomic Kiddin. Oh I quite like that Jess Glynn song. I feel like Clint's giving me the eyes where I have to go. No no, I want you to do whatever you want. Jess Glynn. Claudia, what's the winner of birthday banging today? There is only one song for me here today and that is Atomic Kitten. Luca and Charlie and Georgina you just won birthday banger well done.

Thanks for calling through guys. That was the right decision. If you see me walking down the street, staring at the sky. It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Atomic Kitten on ZM, Bri and Clint, that's a winner of birthday banger, taking down Jess Glenn and Boys To Men. Fun fact, I'm pretty sure one of the girls from Atomic Kitten was pregnant in the film clip to that song. Oh yeah, again. And they tried to hide it, but she was like eight months pregnant.

Like there was no hiding it. Atomic Kitten, is it Atomic Kitten or Sugar Babes where they just rotated in multiple members? There's either a bunch of Sugar Babes or a bunch of atomic kittens. Or All Saints. Oh no, All Saints was a core four, wasn't it? Was it? Wasn't it?

Can you remember them all? There's the one that was the judge on X Factor New Zealand, Mel. It was the one that dated Robbie Williams. Sure, yep. What was the one that dated Robbie Williams. Sure, yeah. What was Motiya in? Oh, she was a Sugar Babe. I feel like the Sugar Babes was just a solid three. Yeah, right, okay.

Like it was just, yeah, the three. And they're still touring. They're just... Are they? Yeah. Remember? I saw them at Mardi Gras 2023. Oh, that's right. sugar babes acoustic set yeah

and a huge dance party yeah they were all sitting on big stores it all baked allegedly allegedly it looked like they were having a good time okay next on the show, revelation for me over the holidays of dog ownership. I'm new to this whole dog thing. And let's call it a steep learning curve for me. Dog owners will relate to this. ZM's Brinklin podcast. I am new to dog ownership. I got my first dog ever at the end of last year. We adopted a three year old, almost three year old golden retriever called Manny.

And my wife has had dogs before growing up. They had German shepherds. I've never had a dog ever. I've had cats and guinea pigs and that's about it. And man, I did not even know what I was missing out on I didn't know what life with a dog was like. I tried to tell you for years yeah but you wouldn't listen to me you're like oh I love cats I'm a cat person just cats no dogs. I do love my cat I do it's different. It's very different. It's different I find myself wondering what

is good for the dog at times throughout the day. I've never once thought that about my cat. Give her a brown mush in the evening, give her a brown rocks in the morning and she's fine. Cats are so self-sufficient, which I love that about cats. Like they really are. I take good care of whatever animals that I have. Well, ever since those guinea pigs, I've taken good care of my animals.

Is that a statement? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I find myself, like, I'll be cooking myself a meal. Like, I'll be cooking chicken breast, for example. And I'll go, mm, it would be really good to include some of this in the dog's diet. So then I find myself carving off a bit of chicken breast that I've just cooked and hand feeding it to the dog

You know? You know the biggest struggle I have with dog ownership is I find myself constantly feeling guilty that they're bored Yes I always think it's something that is on my mind and clearly someone who doesn't have kids yet. I'm just kind of like, I feel so guilty. Like I'm like, I want to give you something to do. I want to enrich your life, like with something exciting. Yeah, I get that. Probably not to that degree, but I do feel that as well.

There's something about golden retrievers where you can see their facial expressions. A lot of dogs are like that. And so I'm like, oh, he's depressed. His day peaked at 6.30 this morning when I took him for a walk. can see their facial expressions. A lot of dogs are like that. And so I'm like, oh, he's depressed. His day peaked at 6.30 this morning when I took him for a walk and now the rest of this day is going to be miserable. Anyway, the true revelation that I had about dog ownership came on our week away.

We went to the beach, we went to Whangamata and the Coromandel for a few nights and the dog fricking loves it. He loves being at the beach, he loves being at my parents place. He just seems, I'm sure every dog is, but he seems like he's like I should live here. Oh trust me every time we take our girls to the beach we're like yeah maybe we should just find them a family here. Exactly I'm like maybe he should live with my in-laws and they love him too. My happiness so that you can live the life that you want. For the good of the dog. We sound crazy. I know, anyway we go to the beach, first thing we do when we get there we go to the beach. What

does he do? Run into the ocean and swallow as much sea water as he can swallow and then sniffs around and finds a bunch of other stuff and then he's going, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, for the rest of the afternoon. I kid you not, the dog had the most explosive diarrhea for the next four days from drinking that sea water, that the rest of the trip was just me cleaning up liquid dog craps. He's, like I said, a retriever,

so he's got a very hairy bottom, hosing poo out of the back of his his bum hairs, sniffing his paws to make sure he hadn't stood in liquid dog crap and I was like... Why don't you just put him outside and leave him? Because of all the things that we just talked about Brie because he looked... I know I say this... Exactly because then I look at him I'm like this is not the quality of life he deserves. I say this but I would never. Give me the shampoo, I will wash that dog now and he can come on the bed. There's nothing worse when they have real bad di- well, actually-

Reanswered. Remember when my dog Whitney had explosive diarrhea and vomiting at the same time? From eating the chilli plant. No, that was Meryl. She had explosive diarrhea from that. But Whitney was going both at the same time. And I was just like, this is my life now. All I do is clean up, vomit and poos. Yeah. I know. It's crazy. So how long do golden retrievers live for? I think you can get dog nappies. That might

be something to look into.
