The ZM Podcast Network. ZM's Bree and Clint, cheers to KFC. Grab KFC's crispy box for only $9.99. Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. ZM's Bree and Clint. Aw, look who's got fancy new things. It's us.

We've got a fancy new intro. Isn't that right, Brie? I'm not here. I'm at a wedding in Queenstown. Oh, okay. No worries. I'll just enjoy our new intro to myself. Now, Brie's not here.

She's at a morning wedding. Was it a morning wedding? I believe so. Yeah, right. A Monday morning wedding. A Monday morning wedding. The worst kind of wedding. Unconventional, for sure. I mean, I'm not going to call it the morning wedding? I believe so. Yeah, right. A Monday morning wedding. A Monday morning wedding. The worst kind of wedding. Unconventional, for sure.

I mean, I'm not going to call it the worst wedding ever. I haven't even seen the photos yet. I don't think the wedding. I think that type of wedding. Morning wedding, not for me. This is the time you usually arrive at a wedding. Three o'clock. That's kind of two o'clock, three o'clock is kind of the universal start time for a wedding.

If Bree's been at a wedding that started this morning, I bet she's frigging hammered by now. She's probably asleep. Yeah. If you go, all right, wedding starts at three, we'll do some pre-loading. God, when do you do your pre-loading for a morning wedding? Do you just start the night before? Yeah, you don't.

You don't? Do you rock up? Oh, that's very irresponsible, Ella. You're right, you don't. Oh, yeah, you don't. You don't. You don't do that. You might.

You don't. But yeah, no, looking forward to hearing how that went. She'll be back with us tomorrow. We're back on deck this week after a week of holidays and the school holidays and school holidays are finished now. I can hear the parents going, oh my God, thank God. They are over. They are over for 10 weeks at least.

And then they'll have some more holidays. But don't worry about that right now. Just worry about this. Today on the show, we are going to play Guess That Noise. We're going to give away some free KFC. We've got Brinley Stent, the comedian, joining us in studio. She's got a show in the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. We love Brinley, so we'll find out what that's all about a little bit later.

But first, a round of Tradie vs Lady. Were you guys playing Tradie vs Lady last week? No, we weren't. All right, the scores have stayed locked up for a week. 32 apiece. They are completely level. Who's going to pull ahead with a win today? Is it the Tradies or the Ladies?

Bree and Clint. Okay, time for Tradie vs Lady. It's Tradie vs Lady. Three, two, one, let's go. Here we go, everybody. In a world where the scores are completely equal, it is 32 games to the tradies, 32 games to the ladies.

Let's cross live to our lady today. She's calling from Invercargill. She's 24 years old and she inherited a lucky cat from her grandma. Welcome to the show, Katie. Katie. Katie, are you there? Oh, Katie.

Oh, hang on a second. We've moved the phones around while I was away. Katie, are you there? Yes, I'm here. I've got you. Okay, cool. What's the lucky cat's name? Shiraz.

Shiraz the cat. I love that. What a cute name. Okay, you're taking on our tradie, who's a lady tradie today. They're calling from Christchurch. They're 20 and they had the best burrito of their life on Thursday. That is a moment to note down in the journal. Welcome to the show, Sam.

Hi. Where do you get the best burrito in the world from? I don't know. I actually got it on Uber Eats and I can't stop thinking about it. Oh my God. At least it'll be in your app somewhere where it came from. So when it comes time to have that burrito again,

you can find it. Because you've got to have the best burrito in the world more than once. Okay. Exactly. Here we go, guys. The first one of you two to get to three correct answers

gets our $50 cash from KFC. So I can tell you guys apart. Let's use our names as buzzers today. Okay? Okay. Okay, sweet. Question number one. Name the new Taylor Swift album.

Katie. Katie. Tortured Poets Department. That's correct. That's one to the ladies. Question number two. Which of the following teams did not lose a game in the last week? The Hurricanes, the Warriors or the Crusaders?

Katie. Katie to go to ahead. Is it the Crusaders? It is the Crusaders. Picked up their second win of the year, I think. Okay, question number three. What food in a box is the Betty Crocker Company famous for making? Katie.

Katie for the win. Is it cakes? It's cakes. It's cakes in a box and that's Crocker company famous for making? Katie. Katie for the win. Is it cakes? It's cakes. It's cakes in a box, and that's a down trowel. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. Doing it for the girls. Sorry, Sam.

There's nothing on the board for the tradies today. It was an absolute pantsing. Congrats, Katie. We've got 50 bucks coming your way thanks to KFC. Thank you so much. No worries. Bree and Clint. We've got 50 bucks coming your way. Thanks to KFC. Thank you so much. No worries. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.

Bree's away today. She's going to be back with us tomorrow. First day of school. Back at school after the school holidays today. First day of kindy, all of that. And from today, the government has made it the law, like the law, that students can't use or access a cell phone during class time, lunch time, or any kind of break during school time. No phones. No phones at all. Put it

in your bag at the gate, take it out of your bag when you leave, or even just leave it in the car and get it when mum or dad picks you up. I think that's a really good idea. I mean, call me a boomer but with all the bullying and the trouble that phones cause in general, it's wild to me that you would even be allowed a phone at school in the first place. Like, I just, I mean,

I don't get it. Ella, you recently left school. Are these your school holidays? Did you have phones when you were at school? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had phones. Really? You could access a phone?

Yeah, but I think it was so, like, we didn't have TikTok. So we weren't distracted by that. Okay. Was that because TikTok didn't exist? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. But you're Snapchatting?

Yes, exactly. So we were doing the filters. So you were, like, allowed to use them? We were doing the filters, yeah. What? And you're allowed to use them? Well... See, Claudia, you're like me.

You're just a little bit older where you're like, are you serious? That's tell us off, but we'd like totally film everyone. But they wouldn't take them off you or anything? No. I mean, if some teachers. Really? Use them at lunchtime? You could sit and use them at lunchtime?

Absolutely. And what, just text your friends at school? No, we'd just push each other in bushes and video it. So as someone, so Claudia and I can't really relate because we're just that. We're the millennials who didn't, it wasn't really a thing. You can say old, it's fine. No, Ella. We had phones.

Ella, the term is millennial, okay? Not old. Sorry, first day back. So, as someone who went to school with phones, do you think the ban on phones at school is a good thing? Yeah, I do, I do. It is a good thing, eh? Absolutely. Otherwise, I mean, it is easy to be distracted. Or if, like me, you don't like learning because you feel stupid,

so you just give up and go on your phone. And if you're a kid listening to this right now who feels a bit miffed that you're having your phone taken off you, listen, you're going to be on that phone for the rest of your life. Okay? Every waking minute of every single day for the rest of your life, you're going to be on that phone. And you think it's just for fun?

It's not just for fun. Your job's going to need you to be on that phone. They're going to put emails on that phone. You're probably going to get put in charge of the social media for whatever company that you work for because you'll be the youngest person and you'll be the only one who knows

how to make the reels and the TikToks. You are not going to be able to escape that phone for the rest of your life. So enjoy it. So enjoy. Absolutely. Enjoy everyone also. Enjoy this little bit of time where you get to talk the rest of your life. So enjoy it. So enjoy. Absolutely. Enjoy everyone also. Enjoy this little bit of time where you get to talk to people in real life. And being present,

that's also like a great thing. Absolutely. Wow, go off. Schools love banning things though. It's one of their favourite things to do. You know, the second there's a problem, they ban it. And they can. That's what they do. Their job is to create a safe environment and whether they think the thing that is at school is unsafe

or often the teachers just don't understand it and so they just ban it. That happens as well. It got me thinking about the things that were banned from my schools over the years. I remember when they banned Bull Rush. Oh, yes. RIP Bull Rush.

I remember when they banned Chatterings. Oh. Really? Yeah. Too loud? I went to school in Rotorua Oh yes RIP Bull Rush I remember when they banned Chatterings Oh Really Yeah Too loud Oh I went to school in Rotorua And there was a lot of Chattering theft

And there's a bit of Chattering violence Going down as well What So They banned marbles In my school Oh I love trading marbles

Yeah Any kind of black market Item that can be used As a currency Ends up getting Banned Like marbles Like if you can trade

Marbles for food. It's high value. Yeah. They banned Catch and Kiss, which I feel is a good thing to ban. Wait, sorry. They banned what? The game Catch and Kiss. Is that exactly what it says on the box?

Yeah, that's what it says on the box. Yeah. So that was a good one. Crikey. They banned lollies and other things as well. But yeah, did you guys have anything banned at your school? My school was so strict to begin with. There was nothing left to ban.

Really? Yeah. What? That's that good private school education, guys. Oh, okay. Yeah. Hairstyles? Oh, yeah.

Hair off your face. Yeah, so many banned hairstyles. You can't have it touch your collar. Skirt lengths. Has to be long. Do not roll it. But we did anyway. Got caught for that.

Ella? Yeah, off the hairstyles, we couldn't have our high ponytails for some reason. Really? So it had to be low. Low ponies only. Yeah, which is real random. Too intimidating with that high pony, eh? I know.

Gives you a couple of extra inches and the teacher starts to get threatened. Let's open the phone lines. On phone banning day, nationwide phone banning day, the question is, what got banned at your school? It could be completely random and only relevant

to your school. But if the teachers banned it, we'd love to hear about it. Call us on 0800 DALES AT M on your phone that you're allowed because it's after 3 o'clock or you can text 9696 as well and we'll put together a definitive list of things that got banned at schools.

Today is the day that legally all phones have been banned from schools. Today is the day that legally all phones have been banned from schools. No, not specifically old Nokia phones from the 2000s, but phones, all phones in class, in lunchtime, at interval, everything. No phones legally allowed at schools by kids anymore. So it's got us talking about things that got banned from your school over the years because schools love to ban something. God, they love to ban it. And it never lasts forever.

Like I feel like when a new dean or principal comes along, the old bans get forgotten. They kind of just keep cycling through. And that's why we all experience the same bans. Like this text, Pokemon cards, Beyblades, Raro sachets. That is the holy trinity of black market things that schools love sachets. That's the trifecta. That is the holy trinity of black market things that schools love to ban. That's a great text.

Let's go to Caleb on 0800 dials a dim. Hi, Caleb. Caleb, what was it that got banned from your school? Oh, it was the classic marbles at the start. Yeah. And then in substitute for marbles, they started using bommie knockers and acorns. And then they banned every single thing you can get off a tree. Yeah, we started using bommie knockers and acorns and then they banned

every single thing you can get off a tree. Yeah, we got those. How do you ban bommie knockers and acorns? They literally fall off the tree. Yeah, well, we're using them as marbles

and then all of a sudden, that's illegal. So they're allowed to be on the field but you weren't allowed to pick them up. Is that how it worked? Yeah, so we weren't

allowed to touch them. We could look at them from a distance but couldn't touch them. That's classic. That's almost impossible to police, and that's why I like it so much. Brayden's here, and Brayden is a kid. Brayden, are you experiencing something that's been banned recently?

Yes. What is it? Gibbets. Gibbets? On your crocs? Yeah. Why? Why are they banning gibbets? Because we kept on trading them to each other. Yeah. And we used them as sort of a currency.

That's the thing. This is what kids do. This is how we find a way around. Was it causing fights and things like that? Yeah. What's the most valuable gibbet in the playground at the moment? I think there was all the real gibbets that were more valuable. Yeah. I think there were it was all the real gibbets that were more valuable and but all the

fake gibbets that you got from $2 shops didn't mean too much are you an expert can you tell the difference between a real gibbet and like an AliExpress gibbet yeah

you can yeah okay alright well good luck I reckon get on Facebook Marketplace and start selling those

get some kind of racket going someone texted and they said that at our school they banned music from Madonna. Okay, yeah, that's a time. Someone said Oddbod Cards. That's a throwback as well. Someone said my school banned loom bands and silly bands. Alina is here.

Alina, what got banned at your school? WWE was banned at my school. What, the wrestling? Yeah, because they would have random people wrestling in the hallway and apparently

as well, there was a student that had a poster made about it and they teared it in front of the whole school in the symbol.

What, as like a symbolic sacrifice? Yeah, they ripped it in half like, no more of this please. It's done.

It's dangerous. Boys in particular do do that, eh? You watch one episode of wrestling or Power Rangers or Jackass, whatever it is, and you're like, we've got to go and do this. We've got to try this right now. Yeah, literally. We'd walk out of the classroom, there'd be a group of boys wrestling. Did it work?

It didn't matter. Did it stop boys from wrestling at your school? No, not really. It would be occasional. Thank you. That's very good. Someone said, not really a ban, but at my school, if you were within 10 metres of a fight, you got suspended too

because the fighting was so bad. Wow. So you'd get suspended just for watching a fight at your school. How would you deal with that? You'd have to, like, walk backwards? I don't know. We're getting a few of these texts, people texting in to say that Frank Green bottles and Stanley water bottles are banned at their school, which I kind't know. We're getting a few of these texts, people texting in to say that Frank Green bottles and Stanley water bottles are banned at their school,

which I kind of get. Like they're very stealable, like an $80 drink bottle at a school, that's a very stealable item. But also you get one and then the other kids have to get one and then everyone has to get an $80 drink bottle. They're not that good. None of them are actually that good.

Someone else texted in and said, my daughter's school banned shoes inside the classrooms. They have to wear slippers instead. That sounds kind of nice in winter, but a lot of admin remembering hose slippers are hose. It sounds like you've got a real sort of clean freak teacher there who doesn't want to get the school carpet dirty. Someone said, my school tried to ban hugging for a while, including hugging your friends. It only lasted for a few weeks before the teachers gave up. And I don't know if anybody actually got in trouble for it. But at the time, we were totally baffled as to why they would even try and make a no hugging rule. Yeah, kind of COVID-y, isn't

it? It's kind of like social distancing. You can't hug your friends, but you can't enforce that. And then this is the best text. Claudia, what was the private school you went to? It wasn't McLean's College, was it? No, it wasn't. Okay, you'll relate to this one, though. They said, McLean's College. We weren't allowed to walk on the grass at my school

so that the grass would stay green. Someone worked really hard on that grass. Oh, that grass. That is not for children. That grass costs more than 99% of other children's entire education. Okay, you respect that goddamn grass. Bree and Clint.

A millennial woman has posted on TikTok about all the things that she regrets from her wedding that she thought was cool at the time. But 10 years later, she says that she can't even look at the pictures from her wedding that she thought was cool at the time but 10 years later she says that she can't even look at the pictures from her wedding without cringing which I understand I mean it's sad that that is the case and that your wedding memories are kind of ruined I guess but I

understand she got married in 2015 and the wedding was baby blue themed, which is an interesting, most weddings are black and white or like navy or maybe a little bit of sandy colours in there, but baby blue. It's a bold choice. It's a bold choice. She wore white, but all of her family and the groom had to wear something baby blue, like a baby blue shirt or a baby blue bow tie.

Well, there's like I see a baby blue fedora in there. Oh no. Not a fedora. These are all trendy things from 2015, okay? Don't judge her through the lens of 2024, okay? You weren't there. You weren't planning a wedding in the mid-2010s. I lived it and I was wearing a fedora along with them.

Weren't we all? She had a cupcake tower instead of a wedding cake. That was very trendy for a while and is not completely off trend, but they were all baby blue coloured cupcakes because of the theme, which would have left your guests with like a blue dye in their mouth. Oh, yeah. Blue teeth. The blue teeth situation.

But that's cool. That's fun. That's in keeping with the theme. Her and her husband, I don't know if this one can be written off as part of the trend of 2015. I think this is more of a them thing. Her and her husband decided to wear Velcro sandals to the wedding.

Both of them? Both of them. The whole time? Like Tevas. Oh my God. The whole time. She had them on under her dress. So it's kind of more forgivable for her

because it's all hidden beneath the bouffantiness of the wedding time. She had them on under her dress. So it's kind of more forgivable for her because it's all hidden beneath the bouffantiness of the wedding dress. But for him, he's just some dude in chinos and Velcro sandals at his wedding. Do you reckon they bought brand new ones for the wedding? Their special sandals? I frigging hope so. I hope they were like wedding sandals

and they unboxed them. At that rate, just wear bare feet, eh? Just go to the beach. Or toe shoes. Or toe socks. Or toe socks. Inside your Velcro sandals at your wedding. She also did the most 2010s millennial poses in all of her pictures. P-sides?

Yeah. She kind of looks like, in my opinion, she kind of looks like Leighton Meester in the Cobra Starship music video. That was a look, though. Wasn't it? Yeah, I rate that. Good girls go bad. She's had nine million views From this TikTok

Where she's roasted her own wedding I don't think she was expecting To go that viral And I think it would make you feel Even worse about it Because you'd go Oh my god it's not just me Who thinks my wedding was stupid

9 million people Think my wedding was stupid Here's her talking about going viral If you want to go viral, literally just post the most embarrassing things about yourself imaginable, and boom, it'll happen. Just hit post.

Don't even think about it. Yeah, you think making yourself look cool on TikTok is what people want to see? Uh-uh. They want to see you roast yourself. They want to see that vulnerability, that self-awareness where you go, hey, here's the dumbest shit I've ever done.

And they go, oh, I'm so into this. Like... It's been when I thought I was the coolest. Let's get them out there this afternoon. She's been honest about her wedding 10 years down the track. The things that you regret from your wedding or 21st or whatever the occasion is

that you put a decent amount of planning into and you have photos of and you look back and now you're like, oh my God, I wish I hadn't done that particularly super trendy thing at the time. Like, did you wear the skinniest of skinniest of skinniest like suit pants to your wedding? You know, did you have basically an emo wedding? And you look back now and you're like, like oh i wish we were slightly more traditional with our wedding um i once went to a wedding where the groom wore normal suit like the wedding was completely normal it was like well i say normal traditional the wedding was completely traditional the wife the bride wore a beautiful long white dress he wore a white suit a black suit sorry he wore a black suit with a black bow tie

but then he wore low cut chucks on the bottom that's kind of cool he wasn't like in a band or anything he wasn't like a skateboarder and the issue was that his bride wore heels and

because chucks are so flat they're so flat and he wasn't the tallest guy and when that happened, he was then shorter than his bride on the day. You don't think about it until you're standing

next to each other. Someone would have thought about it but anyway. Not him. Oh, $800 a day or you can text to 9696. It's all good. There's no judgment here.

We just want to, we just want to have a bit of a laugh with you. What is the trendy thing that you did that you did that you now regret doing at your wedding or your big day of any sort? You look back at the photos and you go, oh my God, what were we thinking? Nothing is immune to being ridiculed by the ravages of

time. But this lady's wedding in particular was particularly, I guess you would call millennial chic. It was baby blue themed. Everybody had to wear baby blue except for the bride. They wore sandals instead of normal shoes. I don't think that was, like we said, I don't think that was a trendy thing. I think that was a them thing. But we're asking you, what's the thing that you had at your wedding that you thought was going to be a hit you thought it'd be timeless chic elegant so good um but in uh the fullness of time you go why did i do that this is a great text someone said i regret playing the bagpipes at my own wedding i'd been learning them for a year but i was too drunk to play it properly. It sounded like a throttled cat.

I was also wearing a kilt. Not a good look for me. That to me sounds like a non-Scottish person who was marrying into a Scottish family and they're like, this is how I get the dad on side. This is how I impress the family. This is how I show them that I am for the culture. I'm going to play bagpipes at my own wedding. I feel like that would have got the people on your side, though.

If you'd nailed it. Even if you didn't, though, I feel like people would be on board. I reckon the kilt. This is the thing. You need someone, and this is where I love my wife, is she will always tell me when I'm doing too much. She has no regard for my feelings. She's just worried that I'll be embarrassed.

I guess she does have regard for my feelings in the long term. She's like, I don't want you to be embarrassed down the line. So she'll always tell me straight up, someone needs to tell this guy, just do the kilt. Yeah, just start with the kilt.

Just do the kilt. Just find out what our family tartan is and just do the kilt. You know? Play the bagpipes at home. I don't, like how much,

from a blind, from a standing start, how long do you think you would need to get good enough to play the bagpipes in public? They seem like one of the most complicated instruments. I would say for me, years. Years.

To be confident enough to actually nail the song. Years. Yeah. To stand up in front of people. And no disrespect to us Scottish listeners, even some good bagpipes sound bad. How dare you? Bad? No, I good bagpipes sound bad. How dare you? So bad, no, I like bagpipes. Oh, yeah.

I did live across the road from a park, Victoria Park once. We lived in an apartment across the road from there. And every Sunday morning like a bagpipe club would practice. They would come to the park and they would practice.

And the only thing that sounds worse than bad bagpipes is bad bagpipes being played by people learning to play the bagpipes, playing the same thing badly over and over and over. On a Sunday when you were hungover. Oh yeah. Does it trigger you now with the sound of bagpipes?

No Claudia, like I said I like bagpipes. Okay and we'll leave it at that. We said what would you change about your wedding? Someone said I'd change the bride. Oh, yeah. No more details there. It sounds like it didn't go well. And someone else texted and said,

it definitely wasn't trendy. I broke my arm by falling off a wall the week before my wedding. Cut my cast off for the day and had all my wedding photos. They've got me holding my arm in a very cautious position and I was high as a kite on tramadol for most of the day and I wasn't able to drink. That's commitment though. That's commitment to the photos to cut your own

cast off. You know, you go, I don't want to have a cast in my wedding photos. I'll just take the painkillers and take the pain. And someone else said, I'm a wedding planner and I could name a few things I've seen once and one time only. Oh, I wish you would. I wish you would text us and tell us what those things are. But yes, you would see it all.

And if you're a good wedding planner, do you do whatever your clients ask you to do? Or does a good wedding planner go, hey, I actually think you should not do that thing. You know, what's... Yeah, they're the person

to bounce ideas off. Yeah, yeah. You've hired a professional. And they go, maybe just the kilt. Or do they just go, you're the bride. It's your day.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Or groom. Grooms have some weird ideas too. It's time for a game of Guess the Noise. The game of Guess the Noise. Where I'm really hoping for some bagpipes today. With Bree away, it's going to be me versus Ella.

It's my wife's problem. My issue is that I'm a snorer, but if anyone else snores around me, I'm like, I can't fool her. How very dare you.

live as part of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival with her new disgustingly titled show Puss Goose. I love hearing people say it. What the hell a puss goose is, is Brinley Stitt. Hey!

Oh, thank you, thank you. I've got a live audience here clapping for me. Puss Goose? Yep, Puss Goose. Thank you for pronouncing it correctly. Is it pus like the yellow stuff that comes out of your wound? Yeah, yeah. What's a Puss Goose?

The show is based on a nightmare that I had when I was a kid, a reoccurring nightmare where they're just involved in very, very sick, disgusting goose. And I had to try and beat it, and I never crossed the ravine that it was sitting on. A pussy goose. A pussy goose. So is this show more therapy than comedy?

Yeah, you could say that. It's like an exposure therapy kind of situation. As per most of my shows are actually. I feel like most of my shows it's like, I can't afford a therapist, let's just do it on stage in front of these people. I feel like that's media. Yeah, yeah.

You can make an entire Netflix show from that. So long as you don't do the therapy. True, true. That's the key. Otherwise you'll resolve it all and there'll be no tension within the show. I should never do therapy ever again. Having a recurring nightmare as a child is terrifying. And the only memories that have sort of survived from my childhood are of nightmares.

Yeah, what did you have? Not only memories, but the only dreams from a child. I had one where my head was going to get cut off. And there was like this room and it was at my nan's house but it wasn't my nan's house so that was a big one. I do remember my brother used to have night terrors and he would wake up sweating all the time and he would get so much attention

from it that I was so jealous that I wanted night terrors and then one day I woke up and I was so sweaty and I was like yes I've had a night terror and then I pissed myself truly like I was like, yeah, I'm sweating.

Double banger, yeah. The weird logic of kids, eh? I know, right? It's the same logic where you want to break your arm

so that you can have a cast. Yes. Kids are like, oh, they're breaking up. The kid on crutches gets all the cool stuff. How come I can't have crutches?

And the diabetes kids who got like a pouch of jelly beans. I know, jealous. Okay, so we established that Pus Goose is a traumatic part of your childhood that you're going to have to confront.

And the show is about obviously facing your fears. It is. It's about irrational fears. Do you have any others? Oh, so many. I mean, that's what the show is kind of based on. I go through all these different sketches, which are my irrational fears. But I also ask the audience for theirs, which is really cool.

So throughout the show, they give me theirs. I've done the show in Whangarei and Christchurch, and we had some really, really fun ones. Ask me what my fear is. Yeah, what is your irrational fear? I have a fear of used fruit. Whoa. Fruit that someone else has opened,

or like a fruit salad that has been... Used as an eaten? Used as in de-skinned or peeled or cut. Wow. Or eaten, or partly eaten, even by me. That's really interesting. What can you do with that? Nothing.

All right, okay. But I'm grateful that you shared it and like it's an exposure therapy. It's a group therapy kind of situation. Now you've said it and you've put it out into the world. It might be less scary. We're talking to Brinley Stent, her show Puskoos is at the comedy festival.

Final question, what won your Christmas dessert competition this year? This year, the winner was croquembouche. Brinley famously runs a poll on her Instagram, which gets a lot of people worked up. Got me really worked up. Oh, gosh, people are so passionate about their desserts. About what you're going to make for family Christmas,

and a croquembouche won. Yeah, this year it was a nightmare, to be completely honest with you. Often it's like cheesecake, and then I'm like, great, I'll make a cheesecake for my family. This was like a two-day event of making a pastry tower with sponge sugar, and then the worst bit is they didn't even really like it. They were like, oh, yum. It's like, this is two days of my life, guys.

So hopefully this year, what do you want? That no one made you do at all, except yourself. It's true. I'm stuck in a cycle now. I'm like, I do it to myself. You can see the show. It's called Puskoos. It's going to be at the Q Theatre in Auckland from May 7 to 11.

It's going to be at Bats Theatre in Wellington from May 14 to 18. And you can get your tickets from comedyfestival.co.nz. Brinley Stent, good to see you. You too. I hope you've managed to face your fears about the fruit. I hope I never do. Bree and Clint. you too i hope you've managed to face your fears about the fruit i hope i never do i went away for a couple of nights on my holiday with my wife lucy we went to a wedding in marlborough for two nights and on the night before the wedding we went out to dinner with some friends no kids living like we're bloody who are-olds, fancy free, no responsibility people?

Yeah, well, we were for two nights and, man, it felt good. You know people who have kids because they're always like, well, they're at the restaurant first because they're so used to having dinner. Too excited. Too excited. Used to having dinner at 5 o'clock with the kids. So they're like, what's our big night out? And it gets to like quarter past nine and you're like, okay, we need to go home.

I'm tired. It's so late. I'm tired. What I so late. I'm tired. What I really want to do on this night away from the kids is go to bed. Anyway, we're watching The Warriors before we went out to dinner and Lucy was Googling the menu

for the restaurant that we were going to and I said to her something that I thought was completely unremarkable. I thought this thing was like, you know, I thought it wasn't even like a thing. It was just sort of a passing comment. While she was Googling the menu, I said to her, you know, I've never Googled the menu of a restaurant before going out for dinner. Wait, what?

Which is a true statement. And that's the reaction that I got. Hang on a minute. I've never Googled the menu of a restaurant before I went to it. What? I've never felt the need to. I don't intentionally to it. What? I've never felt the need to. I don't intentionally not Google it. I've just never felt the need.

So that means you're secure and, like, you're happy to eat anything, really? Correct. You're not picky picky? No. I'm going to a restaurant based on recommendations and vibe. And vibe. But how do you know, like, where to go? Where to?

What do you mean? What if you don't like it? No, I know the location of the restaurant. No, but how do you know, like, if you're trying to find. Where to? What if? What do you mean? What if you don't like it? No, I know the location of the restaurant. No, but how do you know like if you're trying to find a new restaurant? So someone recommends it

and how do you know if it suits you? Recommendation and vibe. You know? Just that's that. What's a good vibe for you, man? It's hard to quantify.

Like, you know, when a restaurant has the vibes are off. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You know, and it's very personal. So that's what you ask your friend, whoever. Yeah, I when a restaurant has the vibes are off. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You know, and it's very personal.

So that's what you ask your friend, whoever. Yeah. I'm like, what the vibes are. I never go, what do they serve at that restaurant? And I would never Google it. Me saying that to her, you know, I've never Googled the menu of a restaurant before going, really sit the cat amongst the pigeons. She put that quote on her Instagram with a picture of me and she was overwhelmed with people who thought what she thought,

that I am some kind of sociopath, you know? She had so many responses to it. Things like, that is psychopathic behaviour. True. That is a red flag from your husband. And messages like, can you please ask Clint what it feels like to be this free? But isn't that weird? This is where I think that maybe it's like men are from Mars,

women are from Venus situation. Like I don't know any of my male friends where I'm like, oh, should we go out for dinner? And they're like, oh, let me see what they serve. I will Google everything. I'll Google places that I already know and love. I will look up the menu before I go just to pick it out. Yeah.

Because I don't like sitting at a restaurant and then the convo is quiet because you're all looking at the menu. I'd rather know. Is that the bit that you're trying to avoid? Oh, and because I'm vegan as well. So it's just like a bit of both. Can I eat anything that's not chocolate? Look, if you've got a dietary requirement, which yours is self-imposed, but that's fine.

Thanks. I understand that you need to know there is something that you can eat there. But for the other 90% of us, they're going to have a chicken. They're going to have a beef. They're going to have a fish. You'll figure it out. I mean, you get there. There'll be something.

Mine is also curiosity. Like, I enjoy looking at menus at restaurants that I'm not going to. It's like a holiday. Yeah. You like look through the menu and you'd be like, if I had infinite money, what would curiosity. I enjoy looking at menus at restaurants that I'm not going to. It's like a holiday. You can look through the menu and you'll be like if I had infinite money, what would I order? I did not know that I was that strange or that this take of me never looking at the menu was that polarising.

But here we are. And it's great to learn these things. Also, at the core of it, I know that I'm actually not in charge of what we eat when we go out for dinner. I know. I can look at the menu. I go, this looks nice.

And she'll go, that doesn't look nice. We're actually having this. And I'll be grateful. I'll be happy to just be there. Happy to be there. I want to know this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, what is the thing that baffles you about your partner that you just don't understand how they can live that way?

Is it a food thing? Is it a hygiene thing? Is it a way that they travel or a way that they go through the airport type thing? I saw a woman post a TikTok recently of her boyfriend who takes no ear pods and no book and no iPad, no nothing, no form of entertainment on a flight. In her words, he just raw dogs reality.

That happened to me recently accidentally and I've never been more bored and like distraught in my life. 0800 dial ZM or text it in to us this afternoon.

Let's see where the lines are. And I'm expecting that we're going to get a lot of women saying things about their male partners but I could be wrong. It could be the other way around.

We don't know. I want to know on 0800 dial Z, what is the thing that baffles you about the way your partner lives their life? You can text it in to 9696 as well. We'd love to hear about it. After revealing to my wife, which she then revealed to her Instagram story, that I have never Googled the menu of a restaurant before going to eat at it.

I didn't realise it was that weird. And now that I've put it out there on the radio, it's been confirmed that it is weird. Not by everybody. There are some people that agree with me. And it's not all guys like I thought. Like I thought maybe it was like a men are from Mars, women are from Venus type situation. Someone texted

and said, I love the surprise of what's on the menu when going out for dinner. I totally agree with you, Clint, from Nicole. Yeah, I think it is the surprise that I kind of enjoy. But then also it's not just that. I just don't care. Like I do not care what I, I don't care what,

I don't think I care what I'm going to have. This is a freedom that I want. Yeah. I've never experienced that. It'll be something and it will be good or it won't. What if it's gross? Well then I won't go there again. And that'll be fine and we'll just roll with it. Do you ever get somewhere and you're like

actually there's nothing I want? Yeah but no. What? No because I'll just eat something. There is always, like if it's a freaking restaurant, unless it's something that they only have two things that they serve, there'll be something. Anyway, I could defend this till the cows come home, and I'm sure we could debate it for ages too.

But we want to know, what is the thing, like this with my wife, it completely blew her mind that I would live like that. What is the thing that baffles you about your partner? Emily's called up. Hi, Emily. Hi. Hi, what is it? What baffles you about your partner?

My partner doesn't say goodbye to people when he leaves their house. He just stands up and leaves. Literally. We go to my parents' house and I'd be like, oh, we'll

just say goodbye. He's like, why? Oh my God. It's not like he forgets. He doesn't want to say goodbye. He's like, why? Oh, my God. Oh, so it's not like he forgets. He doesn't want to say goodbye. No, he's like, why do we need to? And I'm just like, it's kind of a polite thing to do. He goes, nah. Oh, my God. Because my wife is my...

But the other thing is... Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. So, like, just anywhere. Anywhere. Anywhere. It's like if you're out for dinner with friends, he'll just leave.

He'll just, like, he doesn't really, like, everyone will just be leaving. He doesn't feel the need to say goodbye to anyone specific. He'll just, like, everyone will be saying goodbye, and then he just turns around and leaves. That baffles me. I can't. I mean, my wife, Lucy, pulls me up on the fact that I sometimes forget to say goodbye on the phone.

Like, I'll be like, okay, and then I'll hang up. But once she reminds me, I go, oh, my God, I didn't even realize. I don't do it intentionally, like your husband. But the other thing he doesn't do, he doesn't eat fruit. At all. He'll eat apples. He'll eat grapes. That's it.

Wow. Not a berry, not a banana, not a pear, nothing. Really? Not a plum? Not a mandarin? Not a plum, no. The man's missing it. Not orange.

Yeah. Do you still love him or are you a bit weirded out by him? Oh, yeah. No, it's all right. I just say goodbye for him. Like I always make a point. I say goodbye. Occasionally he'll remember to say goodbye to the dog.

As long as he said goodbye to the dog, that's fine. Thanks, Em. That's great. Cassie's here. Hi, Cassie. Hi. What's the thing that baffles you about your partner? He doesn't wear sunglasses like ever.

Like ever? Ever. What about when Like, ever? Ever. What about when he's driving? No, just squints. What about on a sunny, what about at the beach? Nah, never. Just straight up never wears them. Does he not own them?

Is it like a cost thing? No, it's not a cost thing. He just doesn't wear them. Does he not like the way that he looks in sunglasses? I'm just trying to ask him, and he's just like, I don't know, I just don't wear them. Does he not like the way that he looks in sunglasses? I'm just trying to ask him and he just goes, I don't know, I just don't wear them.

I never have. Does he know about premature ageing and like wrinkling and that sort of stuff? I'll let him know. Yeah. I don't think he's too concerned

by the sounds of it. No, I don't think it's, it's just weird. Like when we first met, like it was during the summer and I just kept waiting for him to bring his sunglasses out when it was real sunny

and it just never happened. You should tell him one day how much sunglasses cost, like a pair of designer sunglasses. He will shit the bed. If he knows that people spend like $300, $400 on sunglasses. Exactly. Oh, Drew will be happy at all the money he's saved, won't he?

Exactly. Thanks, Cassie. That's great. I'm strapping for these texts. I'm going to race through these, but they are excellent. My husband refuses to go clothes shopping. There are lots of men like that, and I think they exist through the courtesy of their partner and their parents,

their mum specifically who buys their clothes. My partner drives me crazy. He will have a shower and then he will walk outside barefoot and then climb into bed. I can't handle it. Buzzy to go outside after a shower. And I can get why that one baffles you. But as a man too, I think we have different ideas about the required level of cleanliness to get into bed. That sounds grosser than I mean it to.

I'll just leave it there. My partner also doesn't wear sunglasses. I can't fathom how my husband spends at least 15 to 20 minutes on the toilet when he's doing number twos. Neither can he. He doesn't know that he's been there for that long until he's been there for that long until he's been there for that long

and then he's like, oh gosh, oh God, I've got to get back. I can't work out how my partner gets dressed as he does. Sock, shoe, sock, shoe, instead of sock, sock, shoe, shoe. I'm sock, sock, shoe, shoe. I can't understand sock, shoe, sock, shoe. What if you get caught in the middle of putting them on and you're walking around with one sock and shoe and one raw dog foot?

I'm on your side with that one. My husband is baffled with my life choice because I don't eat cheese. I'm not allergic to it. I simply cannot stand it. I have pizza, pizza without cheese, which he calls flatbread with toppings. How does it stay on the bread is what I want to know. How my husband ever knows what he is, oh, what baffles me is how my husband never knows what he's having for dinner. But I've been planning it since the week before. He just turns up home to mystery dinner every night. Imagine not knowing what's for dinner.

Don't. Claudia's pointing at me. Pointing the finger right at you. Yeah, I love my mystery dinners. I'm very grateful for them every night. My husband survives on red meat and chips. He hasn't gained weight since getting married in 2011. I tried it too.

I ballooned to an extra 25 kilos of weight. Oh, they're so good. Look, we're different people. And that's, look, opposites attract. You know, that's what we can put it down to. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday dinner. and that's, look, opposites attract. You know, that's what we can put it down to. Bree's away.

She's back tomorrow. So let's get into a birthday banger without her this afternoon. The number one song on the day that you turned 16 and we're going to kick things off with Alex. Kia ora, Alex. Hi, how's it going? I'm good. Did you have a good weekend? Yeah, it was good.

Well, well we need you to do that. Yeah. Never stops. Alright, mate. Well, let's do your birthday banger for you. Give us your date of birth.

Yeah, not bad We have got three great millennial bangers this afternoon And it's quite hard to choose I'm going to need to employ the help of Claudia All of these songs predate Ella They literally Every single song came out before she was born I'm going to need to employ the help of Claudia. All of these songs predate Ella. They literally, every single song came out before she was born. Because she's four years old.

I know, she was born for the Black Eyed Peas one. But was she conscious? Are we going Cher or Usher? You know what the right thing to do is. No. Yeah. No? Yeah. Hey, Mike, you just won birthday banger. No Yeah No Hey Mike You just won

Birthday Banger Shouldn't have been So cryptic Claude Damn it Zed and Bree and Clint Ursula baby That's the winner Of Birthday Banger Today for Mike Put me through. Zed and Brinkley. This is why I just can't get with you. Ursula, baby. That's the winner of Birthday Banger today for Mike.

It was number one in the year 2001. Just checking, you wanted Cher. Of course I wanted Cher. Is that what you wanted? You better believe it. You better believe it? Is that what you're going for there? That was pretty good too, though.

The Usher Baby. I could have lived with this share song. Absolutely. I love this song. Well, it's too late. You didn't pick it. It's too late. You've probably seen this guy online.

He's a British etiquette expert. His name is William Hanson, and he's a master of decorum. He creates content for his 4 million followers about how to correctly conduct one's self in all situations. You know, if you are needing to know the correct way to hold your knife and fork or how to address certain people in certain situations or, you know, what to do with your frigging napkin when you go to a nice restaurant. He's a fancy guy who knows about etiquette and he tells you the things. It's corn season, or at least we're coming to the end of corn season at the moment. Man, I love corn season. Oh, I love corn. Corn on the cob.

Corn on the cob. No, you can't beat it. Life hack. I didn't realise you can just, did you know this? You can literally just put a corn cob in the husk in the microwave for how many minutes? Three minutes? Four minutes? Two minutes?

Four minutes? Three minutes? Something. Google that. But put the whole husk in and then get it out. Chop the end off and then just slide

the whole husk off. All the stringy bits come straight off and the corn is just ready to eat. Have you never done it in the microwave before? No. How do you do it?

I do it in the barbecue. I've never heard of that. Oh yeah, delicious. Never. Life hack. It's so good. Yeah. How do you do it? I do it on the barbecue. I've never heard of that though. Oh yeah, delicious. Never. Life hack. It's so good. Yeah. Just instant corn.

Anyway, we've been eating it wrong. You pigs. Yeah, why? What have we been doing? This is William Hansen, the etiquette expert, explaining the correct way that one should be eating corn on the cob. Corn on the cob, etiquette. Now what you definitely don't do is to pick it up and gnaw away at it

like some sort of woodland critter. No beaver action, please. Instead, holding it from the top, you gently carve the corn like so, rotating until there's none left. No beaver action, please. So carving. Yeah, he says stand the corn up and carve and hold it. There should be like a little stick in the end of it that your host has put there, a little corn holder, and then you carve the corn off,

kind of like you're slicing a Christmas ham. Yeah, like in a kebab shop. Yeah, like a corn kebab shop. Okay. Two things for me. Weird. First of all, if it's a fancy dinner, do not serve me corn on the cob. Because there's not, I don't believe there is a, there is a.

That's an outside food. It's an outside food. It's a hands, it's a messy food. That's how I'm getting into it, butter on my face sort of mood. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And second of all, if I carve the corn off, I'm then going to have to fork up 500 individual

corn kernels. And also, once I carve the corn off the cob, I may as well just have had that frozen Watties bag of sweet corn. Because what's the difference? Yeah, tinned corn. Is that a thing? Tinned can of tinned? Not tinned corn.

Oh, okay. We're not making fritters here. Tinned corn has its place, but like... For fritters, all right. Listen, guys, I don't want you to think that I'm better than you. Oh, shut up. Is this how you corn? So you don't need to praise me after this.

Yeah. That is how I corn. That's how you corn. But not because of, like, politeness reasons. It's because I love corn so much that I cut it all off. Firstly, you don't get it in your teeth. But then when you have your little bundle of corn, you can scoop all of it up in one go and eat the whole thing. With your hands?'t get it in your teeth. But then when you have your little bundle of corn, you can scoop all of it up

in one go and eat the whole thing. With your hands? Well, not with your hands. You're simulating with your hands. Pretend it's a spoon. A spoon or a fork. No, no, no. A decorum expert will not have us eat corn, sweet corn with a spoon. No, no, no.

The fun thing about eating a corn on the cob as well, you're like... But you get it all through your teeth. And you're squirting juice all over the place. I'm glad you finished that. I'm glad your whole family's involved. I can't wait to tell my three-year-old she's not allowed to gnaw on her corn cob anymore.

That's awful. I don't like that. The man on the internet said you can't, darling. Sorry. Listen, Maggie, no beaver action. The man said it. Experts are warning that parallel scrolling, which is the act of you and your partner

scrolling through your phone in silence while you lie in bed together, could damage your relationship by interfering with intimacy and connection in the bedroom. Yeah, no duh, experts. I've never seen something that would interfere with intimacy more

than this little black box that we call a phone that has access to every single thing in the entire universe, every piece of information that human beings have ever uncovered, all located inside my hand, and also has videos of cats and TikTok dancers. You know? Like there's, excuse my French, but there's never been a bigger C word block than the phone. You know, like there's, excuse my French, but there's never been a bigger C word block than the phone.

You know, the Herald have written this up today. They have an expert called Tracy Ross. She's a couples and family therapist based in New York. She says you're basically decreasing the chances of intimacy and affection or generally engaging with your partner at all. Again, yeah, no duh. No duh. Like you're doing your thing on your phone, I'm doing my thing on my phone.

Some people even put their fricking earbuds in so that they can listen to their things and not even see that person. They said connection is critical for a strong relationship and it needs to happen regularly without fail for a couple to thrive. But what's the solution? Because we all do it. What is the solution? Is it

leave the phone outside the bedroom? Yeah, about when your alarm goes off in the morning. No, so picture this. You charge your phones in your kitchen or wherever. Yeah. But then you buy an actual alarm clock. Alarm clock. But they're so bright. No, they're not.

No, you can get a dim one. You can get a grey one. You can get an actual clock clock. You can get a clock clock. Like a little. It ticks. Yeah, no. The brightness is not a thing.

I have so many excuses. I'm not leaving my phone. Yeah, but also, like, if we go analogue, how is a book, like, getting into bed and reading? Because that's what's virtuous isn't it is to read at bedtime, why is that fine well you do scroll if you're on TikTok or whatever there are the sounds and the sounds and the sounds

and the sounds, you know like with a book but if I'm scrolling Instagram and I'm not watching the reels you know I just, what's the thing are we meant to get into bed and talk to each other yeah exactly Claudia Are we meant to get into bed and... Talk to each other? Oh. Yeah, exactly, Claudia. And please tell me I'm not weird in my relationship that we don't do that.

Like, do you guys get into bed and just like... Or do you just both climb into your respective sides of the bed and just start pashing? Is that how it works every night? You're just like... You know, you're like... Bedtime. My problem is we do phone time, which takes, you know...

It's only like five minutes. Yeah. But then I'll just be like... So it's always blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it's always a late night. Like even if we're in bed all the time. Oh, you are a chatterbox in bed. I'm a little chatterbox. I get so hyper.

But that's connection. That's fine. True. The connection, she's not saying the connection needs to be. Except it's not connection when I'm like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I hear, hey, I'm sleeping. And I'm like, okay, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I dare you to sleep without your phone in the bedroom.

I'm going to try it tonight I'm going to try it Report back Imagine if that's the silver bullet Anyway good luck with that And that's it folks That'll do us For another show

Brie will be back on deck with us tomorrow She's coming back tomorrow eh Brie's back from Queenstown tomorrow So what's going on So we'll be a Randy Fawcett once more tomorrow. She's coming back tomorrow, eh? Bree's back from Queenstown tomorrow, so what's going on? She's flying in tomorrow morning. So it will be a Randy foursome once more. Heck yeah, I love a foursome. Too much going on in a foursome.

Too much. Not speaking from experience. Just assume. I just feel like in a foursome, I feel like you'd naturally fall into pairs. And then you're just a couple of twosomes in the same room. But it's just a bit weird. Two, four, six, eight. That's eight legs.

Because they're eight hands. And then for the foursome to be engaging as a foursome and not just two twos doing their things, you'd have to like... Do you hold someone's hand? Do you tap someone on the shoulder? My turn! And you're like, want to swap?

And then you all have to agree to swap. And what if the person that you want to swap with wants you all have to agree to swap and what if the person that you want to swap with wants to swap with a different person and then they end up in a three and then you're off

to the side as a one while they do a three Christ That's way too complicated I'm good man I think I'll stick to my good

traditional old onesome What? Huh? See you guys tomorrow Have a great night Bye What? Huh? See you guys tomorrow Have a great night Bye
