I don't know how I'm going to talk to Patrick Schwarzenegger and not bring up the thing with his character's brother. Don't do the accent. Which accent? Don't do that. Can you imagine? I didn't even think about that. Get to the chopper. He's Arnold Schwarzenegger's son. Yeah. But he won't have an accent. No, he

doesn't have an accent. Well, Willie, will he have a weird hybrid accent? You know how the children of immigrants often have like a semi-hybrid accent? I think he was born and raised in America. He'll probably have an American accent. Yeah, I know. But if you're dad, you learn how to speak off anyway. I won't dobrid accent. I think he was born and raised in America. He'll probably have an American accent. Yeah, I know, but if you're dad, you learn how to speak off anyway. I won't do the accent. Don't do it.

And don't do the Tuma line. I don't have a Tuma. The other interviews we're doing are for The Last of Us. This is what I'm really fizzing at. So that show comes back on Neon on the 14th of April.

It's not far away. I was, like everybody, obsessed with the first season of that show. But I'm not a gamer. So I only know the show as the show. As you do. I talked to Bree about who we were interviewing. I've got to do this without ruining it for anybody else. And I said, oh, I can't believe somebody isn't there.

And I went, oh, well, it makes sense because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I said, what are you talking about? Why did you just do that? Why did you just ruin season two of this show for me? And I went, oh, I felt, I felt, you have to admit, I thought about it all afternoon. You did. You did feel bad.

The thing is, and this is where, this is what you guys need to be aware of. If you're a Last of Us fan, you need to figure out if you're talking to a gamer or a TV show fan, because they have very different understandings of how that show works. Because I've played the games, one of my favorite games ever. So it was already ruined for me yeah anyway myself anyway i was like that's okay i don't know any details about it i don't know and i yeah i didn't tell you you shut up as soon as you saw my face i shut up yeah this morning when we got here to zm fletch walks in and goes oh my god i can't believe that this happens in season two and this

is the exact way that it happens and i just just said to him, are you kidding me? He gave a lot of detail too. A lot of detail. One of those things where, you know, like you don't mean to spoil it, but once it's done, it's done. Yeah, I know. And it happens early. Stop.

I don't need to know. Actually, I don't know that Because I haven't watched the show yet But Yeah Anyway We'll be talking to Bella Ramsey From that show We'll be interviewing her

To bring back for the show Caitlin Dever Yeah Who was in that God she's been doing some big things Hasn't she And we're going to take them A plate of shiitake mushrooms

I think is a good gift for that show I think so too Yeah yeah yeah yeah really tie into the series it'll be great zed am's brie and clint podcast um look i haven't talked about it much so you might not know but i wrote a book last year oh yeah i'm you know just don't mention it all that much but we were at this auction house the other day and it's that auction house that sold that limited edition Harry Potter book. Yeah.

It's like a first edition Harry Potter book, and it sold for thousands of dollars. And I saw they had a copy of your book there. Yeah. At the auction house. Which retails at $28. I was like, you can still get this at Paper Plus. Why is this at an auction house?

I don't know if it's the first version of the book you wrote with the typos in it or not. It might be. But yeah, I did see it there. Extra secrets in there. But I was sitting at home this morning and my partner goes, have you seen this? And I was like, what? And she turns the computer around and it's a children's book that's been written about me.

About you? I'm so confused by it. Yeah. You tell me. Is it like a stranger danger book? Is it like children beware of this woman? Yeah. Is it like a Stranger Danger book? Is it like children beware of this woman? Yeah, and here's some pictures of her. How weird is that?

You explain what you've seen on my laptop. It's a book. It says Brie Thomasel. It says it's written by Jerry R. Brott, not an author I've ever heard of before. It's on Mighty Ape, so you can buy it in New Zealand. I know. Brie Thomasel with a radio microphone, it says the journey of a fun loving host Is that

Real Is that a And I've heard nothing about it Is this you soft launching your children's book Because that seems Very strange that someone should write a book About you and you not know about it at all It's weird eh Is it about you and you not know about it at all.

It's weird, eh? Is it about you or is there another Brie Thomasel radio host with a side part? Well, not that I know. Yeah, look, she's got a side part and everything. She's got a side part. Looks like me. It's a cartoon version of me. Yeah. I don't know what it is.

I haven't heard anything about it. It costs $46. Who's the publisher? It says, what are the details of it? And what's the deal? Can anybody write a book about you, and do you get any money for that? I don't know. It says it came out on October the 16th of last year.

Wait, it's been out for six months, and we're still just hearing about it? Yeah. It says, this book reveals brie's story filled with passion dedication and the belief that dreams can come true for her dream was to become a tv host and she worked really hard to achieve it from co-hosting studio three to hosting weekend today brie's journey is a testament to her perseverance. What in the world? Okay, if anybody has purchased this book, if anyone has the Brie Thomasale book,

not the one that she wrote. No, the kid's book. The kid's book. Can you message us and tell us if it's about Brie? I feel like I need to buy it. I think you need to sue them. I think you need to do more than buy it. I think you need to own the rights to it.

Am I going to have my first suing? Because I've looked up the guy. So the guy's name is Jerry R. Brott. Yeah. And he's written other books about people. Has he written any books about me? Do you want me to look? No, I'm just kidding.

But is he a Kiwi? Is he an Australian? I believe he's an American. So he's written a book about Yannick Sinner, who is the number one- Of the tennis player? Tennis player. He's written a book about Jason Momoa. Yeah, okay. And then there's me.

And then there's you. How random. Yannick Sinner, Jason Momoa, Bree Tomasell. Pretty illustrious company. I know. It doesn't feel like it's right. It also doesn't feel right that you should have to pay for it. But I do think that you need to buy it.

I feel like I need to buy it and just check that there's no, I don't know, inappropriate story in there. What if it's talking shit about you? What if it's like, that's weird. Isn't it weird? I would be creeped out if I found that Yeah, my partner was quite creeped out Should I buy one? Yeah, you have to buy one

46 bucks, that's a bit of a rip We'll buy one and then send him an invoice I should Yeah, for $46,000 Yeah, I know Anyway, watch this space I could be doing my first sewage. Dead end. Franklin. The Tea. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Dean, speaking of spilling the tea, Chapel Ryan, God, she spilt a lot on the Call Her Daddy podcast, including some thoughts about being a parent and the community of parents are pissed at her. They really are, Bree. Okay, so she's gone on and she was very open, authentic, honest in her Call Her Daddy

podcast interview and she's... I don't know what to make of this. People are livid. She's talked about how I think she said all or many of her

friends that are parents are miserable. Do we have some audio on this? Yeah, we do. Yeah, this is Chebble Rhone on Call Her Daddy.

All of my friends who have kids are in hell. I don't know anyone. I actually don't know anyone who's, like, happy and has children at this age. I have, like, a one-year-old, like, three-year-old, four and under, five and under. I literally have not met anyone who's happy,

anyone who has, like, light in their eyes, anyone who has slept. Well, I think when it comes to her she's quite young she's 27 she's 27 so her friends are probably quite young and i mean i don't have kids but i can imagine when they you've got kids that are young it's it's not all roses and rainbows it'd be hard work yeah she doesn't get it though because she doesn't have kids No This is the thing When you hear anybody Without kids commenting on

What having kids is like They don't know And they don't get it It's a pretty Ignorant take from her Yeah Because You know

But then That's her life But let's be real though Let's be real But it's weird to be an Anti-kid influencer To be out there going Having kids is dumb

Everybody who has kids Is miserable Yeah Do you reckon she meant that Or she just went i've seen people like my friends that have kids and they look miserable yeah maybe because i think let's be real i'm assuming and from what i've been told from my friends it's hard it is really hard you know but it's weird when you see people who are out there like have like, kids ruin your life. Because they don't.

Kids improve your life. Of course. I think she's just saying at maybe that age, what she's seen, it's difficult. Yeah. It's like a friend of ours that I saw. She's missing the part. Yeah.

Sorry, Dingo. She's missing the part where it's worth it. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. It's like a friend of ours that I saw who was catching a flight today and they were like, I have to sit on a flight for nine and a half hours with a screaming baby. I was like, yeah, but that's part of life.

Babies are a part of life. Yeah. Having children is a part of life. And the baby's probably not having a great time either. Imagine how the person with the screaming baby, like looking after the screaming baby feels on that flight. It'd be pretty bloody horrible. So just, yeah, show some compassion.

A little bit of compassion. A little bit of compassion. Have you listened to that whole Call Her Daddy podcast, Dean? No, I'm doing that today, actually. I love Call Her Daddy and I'm excited to hear it. It is a fantastic episode. I will say that. She really shares just everything, like goes deep on a lot of stuff

and just kind of, yeah, puts her opinion out there on heaps of stuff, including that. Yeah, there you go. That's the tea with our Hollywood correspondent, Dee McCarthy. Zed-In's Brain Inclin. I've got a story for you, and I want you to listen to it, and then I want us to discuss, if you could go through with this, what this person has done to their

brother their blood okay when it comes to like a white lotus situation is it no because i'm gonna say on the record no i could not go through with that doesn't matter how much money how much alcohol it's a no uh no it comes uh it's actually to do with a winning lottery ticket. Okay. So the story starts and this guy says, I think about this way too much and it's been years, but every time I see a lottery ad or hear someone talk about a big win, I feel sick.

My brother isn't the type to play the lottery. He's always been the responsible one, good steady job, never takes dumb risks. But one random day we were walking through a shopping centre and we passed a news agent. He decided to get a lotto ticket, just a total impulse buy. I laughed at him but I thought maybe I'll do the same so I grabbed one as well. A few days later I was at his place and I saw his ticket just sitting there

on the kitchen bench, half buried under unopened mail. I knew the draw had already happened. So out of pure curiosity, I checked the numbers. My stomach dropped. It wasn't the jackpot, but it was a lot of money. Low six figures. The kind of money that could wipe out debt, buy a new car, or even cut my mortgage in half. I don't even remember making the decision. My own ticket, a total dud, was still in my wallet. But before I knew it, I swapped them and left shortly after. His brother.

So there's two brothers. Yeah. He then said a week later we were having a beer and he casually mentioned that he'd forgotten to check his ticket. I shrugged and said, yeah, you probably didn't win anyway. He laughed, agreed and said he'd probably thrown it out already. I wanted to throw up. Cashing it was easy.

The whole sum went onto my mortgage and helped me pay off at least a decade earlier. No one knew. He's doing pretty well for himself now. Good job. Nice place. No real financial worries. That helps ease the guilt a little. Makes it easier to convince myself it wouldn't have changed much for him anyway.

Dog act. That's stealing from your own brother. I don't know if I could live with it, eh? No. I couldn't. But you wouldn't have to live with it because you would never do it. I would never do that. You would never do it.

You stole from your own brother your own flesh and blood and you know how i know that i could never do it how because when i was younger my brother stole like 25 out of my money box gold coins and i still think about it i still think about it to this day that he went into my room and took money without asking. How did you find out? Because I am very stingy, and I noticed that $25 from my money box was missing. You're like, wait a second. There was one Christmas where he gave me the money back

as my Christmas present, and I was like, um. That's so much worse. I was like, um. That's so much worse. He was like, hey, I shouldn't have done that. And I wanted to take this opportunity to repay you. I was like, yeah, you should repay me. But it's not my fricking Christmas present. That's not how this works.

That's making me extra angry. I've essentially given myself $25 for Christmas. Was there interest on that? No. Oh, I'd be pissed off. So if he had taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from me, you know that I would definitely still be talking about it, like I am right now. Might be a good Christmas, though, this year.

Maybe it's time to forgive him. Nah, I don't think so. Nah, give him a couple more years. Give him a couple more decades. Yeah, a couple more. Z&M's Bree and Clint podcast. Let's play How Many. How many? How many? How many? How many? That's a good amount. more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more

more simple. That's the simple way to explain it, right, Ella? This is so fun. You invented the damn game. It's easy. You choose who to go head-to-head against between Brie, Clint, and producer Claudia. We have that caller today. Her name is Grace. And to win, Grace, you just need to have the most items of today's topic, which is how many Instagram accounts do you follow?

That was beautiful. That was good. Really? It was close. It was close. I did say hit to hit against but we moved on quickly. But now we're going back to it. Great. The most important thing is Grace understands the game. Grace, do you know

what you're doing? Yes. Okay. Okay, great. And do you have Instagram? Yes. And what is your handle and is it public?

It's not public. Oh, okay. Okay. Well, tell us off air. Yeah. And add us so handle and is it public? It's not public. Oh, okay. Okay. Well, tell us off air. Yeah. And add us so we can see your pics. Creepy. Grace.

No, not like that. Like friends. Anyway. No, you made it weird. Don't add me then. How many Instagram accounts do you follow? I follow 475. Ooh. 475 follow 475. Ooh.

475. 475. Now, a smart player will have gone and looked at Claudia's Instagram and looked at Bree's Instagram and looked at my Instagram. True. Does all of us have public Instagram accounts? Tell us, Grace, have you done that? I haven't done it, but potentially the person I'm with may have done it.

Ooh. Oh. Who do you think follows the least amount of Instagram accounts? That's what you need to pick here, Grace. Who are you going to go head-to-head with? I want to go head-to-head with Claudia. Yes, I never get chosen. That's a good pick.

Which account, though? She's got multiple. I was going to say, do you want my public one, my private one, or my dog's one? Or a burner. Go the burner account, Grace. I reckon burner account for the win. No, your main account, Claudia Sykes. Neither of them are called Claudia Sykes.

Oh, damn it. I'll give you my private one because I feel like that's my actual one. Okay. You hold that, Claudia. Lucky you didn't choose me, Grace, because I'm a bit out of control at the moment. I'm following 1,335 accounts. Damn. I know, my feed is chaos, so you did well not choosing me.

You would have lost. You did even better not choosing me. I feel embarrassed by this. I follow 2,422 accounts. That's twice as many as me. You need to do a cull. I can't get rid of any of them. I still want to see every single one of those 2,422 accounts content. Okay, thank you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, good. I think, Grace, you picked the right person. I don't know. I don't know if Grace follows enough accounts to win this game. Can we go back to how many accounts Grace follows? 475. 475.

Okay. Claudia, on your personal Instagram account, how many do you follow? I follow 457. Yeah! Oh my god, Grace! Grace, you just snuck in there, mate.

Well done. What a tight game. Yeah, the same numbers. Yeah, flipped mate. Well done. What a tight game. Yeah, the same numbers. Yeah, flipped around, same numbers. How bloody good. What do you mean? She has 475 and I have 457. Oh, the last two numbers flipped around. That was a close one.

Not confusing at all, guys. That was real fun. I think nice and succinct is how I'd describe it. I think award-winning radio. Grace, we're going to send you some free KFC chicken dollars Congratulations Thank you Expertly played by Grace Yeah I thought so

We're both Pitbull fans on this show Not ashamed to say it Huge Pitbull fans I've come out of my shell as a Pitbull fan in recent years Yeah we're living out in the open now Yeah I was a closeted pitbull fan for a long time but now you get me on the turntables you get me on the ox cord it's a 305 don't start the party which is why i wanted to ask you this question okay okay it's a pitbull

problem um what's your take would you rather all songs exist but they are all performed by pitbull or only one pitbull song exists but it's performed by all artists with their own interpretation of it so the beatles did exist but they do pitbull songs yeah gotcha the beatles do hotel room service um taylor swift exists but she sings um Don't Stop the Party. She only sings Pitbull songs. That's a great question. She does them on an acoustic guitar and she does them in a country style. I already know the answer.

I thought it was going to be more difficult, but I know what I would choose. Okay. If I had the choice, I would choose Pitbull doing all songs and only Pitbull performing all songs. I think I agree. Because you get a plethora. You still get all the music. Yeah. And you still get Pitbull's music. Yes, exactly right.

But there's only so many Pitbull songs. Yeah. So if we were to have, like let's say Pitbull has 150 songs. That's it. That's all the songs. And there's a million artists that we're limited. Exactly. Whereas if Pitbull just does all the songs, we get

John Lennon's Imagine done by Pitbull. Can you imagine? We get Coldplay's Yellow done by Pitbull. We get Sabrina Carpenter's Busy Woman done by Pitbull. And it was all yellow! Hey! Yeah! We get I Am Woman, Hear Me Woman, done by Pitbull. And it was all yellow! Hey, yeah! We get I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar, done by Pitbull.

God, it'd be a fantastic world, wouldn't it? We get It's Raining Men, done by Pitbull. Yep, that's what we choose. We get Kanye and Jay-Z's N-Words in Paris, done by Pitbull. That would actually be amazing. You know? It'd be great. You know? It'd be great.

Okay, yeah, we're in. We're choosing all music. All the world's problems would be solved. Done by Pitbull. Brie and Clint, we're back after this on ZM. It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Have you seen this gross Uber Eats story out of Sydney? This isn't the one about the guy weeing in the elevator.

Oh, yes, I did see it. I saw the footage. Yeah, if you missed it, this guy on an Uber Eats delivery job goes to an apartment building, he's carrying the Uber Eats, and he's been caught on camera cctv camera doing a wee in the elevator disgusting eh the story goes on to say that apparently there were toilets at the bottom and the top and no but i mean you gotta go you gotta go do you though no i'm joking on that it's like it's it's like the old saying don't fart in an elevator because you never know who's going to get in and where they're going to get in it's the same thing i got caught out with that

once yeah don't urinate in an elevator i don't know if that's the same as farting in an elevator yeah i don't think it's on the same level don't urinate as an uber eats driver in an elevator anyway he's been let go his uber eats abilities have been suspended. If he's doing that, it makes me think what else is he capable of? Where are his hygiene standards? He's definitely stealing a few chippies from the bag and probably hasn't washed his hands

because he's wearing an elevator. Can you imagine you open your news app the day after you've treated yourself to some Uber Eats and you see the apartment building and you're like, oh, I live in that some Uber Eats and you see the apartment building, you're like, oh, I live in that apartment building. And then you see the CCTV footage and you go, wait a second, that's the guy who delivered my pad thai.

My piss pad thai. And then you go, oh my God, that is my pad thai that he's holding. And it's too late by that stage. You've eaten it. Yep. Because you didn't know. It's done. You didn't know.

And you go Wow okay I had dinner delivered to me By the Peeing Uber Eats driver You know How He didn't pee in the food By the way

No it was just in the corner Of an elevator You know what I found Even more Psychotic Yeah Is that he peed in the corner Where people press the buttons

Oh Like the other side Yeah It's probably got less traffic going to it because you don't have to go there to press the buttons. Like a dog marking his territory. Like all over where the buttons are. Disgusting. Disgusting. Not odd.

Anyway, it serves you right for being lazy and not going out and getting your own food. I mean, yeah, that's a good way of thinking of it. Yeah, exactly right. A ZM's Brinklin Podcast. I went to, I had a delightful dinner out last night, actually. Where? Felt like the last days of summer at the moment if you go out, because of course it's Daylight

Savings next weekend. It was a ripper day yesterday in Auckland. So me and the family were like, nah, let's go out and have dinner somewhere outside tonight and make the most of it. We went to a local bowling club, actually. Ooh, like a lawn bowls club. A lawn bowl. I love a lawn bowls club.

I feel like it's, you know, comforting. Yeah. It's like going to an RSA or the tennis club or any club like that. It's nice. Just good vibes. Good prices too. And because it's New Zealand and you will always see someone that you know there. Half of 660 were

there. No way. Yeah. The boys. Yeah. Machu was there. Jai was there. And they was having dinner with their families as well. And it was all cool. And they were playing some lawn bowls. I was trying to keep my dog under control. Who was the best lawn bowls player out of them?

I didn't actually take stock, but I imagine Machu. You reckon? He's got that vibe about him. He looks like he's got a good elbow on him. He's triple threat. Yeah. He's handsome. He's sporty.

He's musical. He's got it all. And everything was fine. And then this other group showed up to play their lawn bowls. And they bought one of those big JBL speakers with them. And I was like, oh, bold to put your music on. Yeah, like there's a lot of people out here. There's a lot of people here.

But then they put on some music and it was actually quite nice. They put on some Catchafire and I was like, actually, no, no, you guys have picked the vibe really well. And then the very second song that came on was a 660 song. Amazing. You reckon on purpose? I don't know. Oh, it was on purpose,

surely. Do you reckon? Yeah. They're the most recognisable lads in New Zealand, those boys. Yeah, but would you do that? Like, if you saw 660 playing lawn bowls, would you put on a giant Bluetooth speaker and start playing some 660? I would not miss that opportunity

to do that gag. Really? No way! It was this song. Banger. Which technically is not 660. It's Drax Project. Oh no, it's Drax Project

and 660. I thought it was Drax Project with Machu but no, it's both of them. Do you reckon they were hoping for one of those

once in a lifetime moments where the boys from 660 turn around and go no way! No way. Have you got a microphone? We'll sing it for you.

You guys don't happen to have a guitar and some drums over there, do you? We'll get on the mic for you. Everybody. Come on, the ones in the back. Play Zed Eames' Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. All right, let's do your birthday bangers for a Monday. Number one songs when you turn 16.

We'll pick our favourite out of these three. Georgia's going to do birthday bangers today. Hi, Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Hi, how are you guys? Good. How's your day been? Yeah, pretty good, but it is a Monday.

Oh, true. It was almost over, though. It's at the end, so we're on the up, Georgia. What is a Monday. Oh, true. It was almost over, though. It's at the end. So we're on the up, Georgia. What is your date of birth, mate? The 6th of November, 1992. All right, that means you were 16 in the year 2008. And on the 6th of November, 08, this was number one.

Lady Gaga's second hit. Oh, yeah, I thought Just Dance was, I thought this was first, but it was Just Dance, wasn't it? Just Dance was first, yeah. Huge for Lady Gaga. Were you doing the Gaga thing in 2008, Georgia, with the fingers around your eye? Oh, definitely. I love this song.

Yeah. Yeah, it's a good one. Bang up. Wait there. Let's do a birthday banger for Samantha. Hi, Samantha. Hi, Samantha. Hello, hello.

How are you? Good, thank you. How's your day been? Yeah, it's been pretty good. How about yourself? Can I ask, as a Samantha, out of the Sex and the City cast, if you've seen it, would you reckon you're most like Samantha? Oh, nah.

I live and breathe Carrie every day. Okay, so you're a Carrie Samantha? Oh, nah. I love and breathe Carrie every day. Okay, so you're a Carrie girl. Interesting. Interesting. Good to know. What is your birthday? 21st of Feb 2001. All right, that means you were 16 in the year 2017.

And on that day, this was at the top. June. Lorde's comeback song. Oh, yeah, it was too. After she'd been away for a little while and, God, wasn't it a good comeback? You like it, Sam? You like the green light? Oh, I've got to be Kiwi proud, right?

Absolutely. Yeah, big banger. Yep, love it. Wait there for us. Gemma's going to do the last birthday banger of the day. Hi, Gemma. Hi, Gemma. Hi, guys. Mate, love it. Wait there for us. Jim is going to do the last birthday banger of the day. Hi, Jimma. Hi, Jimma. Hi, guys.

Mate, all we need is your birthday. Awesome. I'm 18th of September, 2001. All right, that means you were 16 in the year 2017 as well. This also had a number one hit that year. Reputation era, Taylor Swift? Yeah. What do you reckon, Gemma?

Yeah, pretty okay. Pretty okay. Why? I'm so glad you said that because it's one of my least favourite Taylor Swift songs. Really? Yeah. What about Cardigan? I don't mind Cardigan.

No, whatever. It's not what you say about Cardigan when it plays on the radio. What are you talking about? You hate Cardigan as much as I hate Cardigan and there's nothing wrong with hating Cardigan. Yeah, sorry, Jim. It's not the banger you hoped for. Yeah, I don't know if that one's going to win. We've got to vote.

I will vote for Lord this afternoon. Me too. Yeah? Yeah. Sam, you just won birthday banger. Congratulations. How good. Thank you, guys. You're welcome. Me too. Yeah? Yeah. Sam, you just won birthday banger. Congratulations. How good. Thank you, guys. You're welcome. No worries. Dead end for Franklin. Is it second last episode of White Lotus

tonight? I think so, yeah. It is, eh? Things are just starting to ramp up. I mean, it got pretty hectic last week. Yes. And if you know, you know. With the two brothers, if you know, you know. If you know, you know. But I thought... Don't worry if you don't understand that reference. It's weir know, you know. With the two brothers, if you know, you know. If you know, you know. But I thought- Don't worry if you don't understand that reference.

It's weirder than you think. Yeah, just think of the weirdest, most out-the-gate storyline- That two brothers could do. And that's what's in season three of White Lotus. But I've seen people trying to predict who they reckon is going to die on this season. Because someone dies in every season. Someone dies in every season. And you get a teaser of it at the start of the season.

Yes, but it's never who you think. It's nearly impossible to predict, I reckon. And I thought you and I could go on the record this afternoon because we've got two episodes to go. We're also going to interview the cast tomorrow in Sydney. Exactly. So the person we're talking to could be the person that ends up dying. Yeah.

Should we ask each one of them that we're interviewing, is it you that dies? Do you die? And then just read their body language. Yeah. Not a bad idea. Yeah, yeah. Who do you reckon, who are you predicting go on the record

and say dies in this season of White Lotus? I'm bad with character names, but I can give you their descriptors. Describe who they are. Who are you predicting go on the record and say dies in this season of White Lotus? I'm bad with character names, but I can give you their descriptors. Describe who they are. I think maybe the rich man who owns the boat. The rich guy who was from season one. Yes. The guy who was Jennifer Coolidge's partner. Yes.

And ditched her at the start of season two. And it's kind of alluded. We don't understand why. Kind of alluded that he had something to do with her death to claim all her money. Yeah. The obvious one would be the dad. See, it's too obvious for me.

It's too obvious. You know what I reckon? There's a part of me that reckons it's so, you know, the woman whose son has come to visit. She works at the resort. Yeah. I reckon it could be the guy that she's hooking up with from the resort. Yeah, yeah.

The Thai guy who works at the resort. I definitely think there's something dodgy that is going to happen with the Thai girl who is friends with the security guard but is more friendly with the bodyguards. There's something weird that happens with her. Yeah, I don't understand that storyline yet. I think she's playing some people and she might be more sinister than we realise. You reckon she's like a part of some underworld or something?

I also think that Kiwi girl Morgana O'Reilly has something to do with the entire storyline that we're not aware of yet. At the moment, she just sees them, takes their phones, and she's like, Kop Kun Ka, and she carries on. Yeah. But there's something, like she- We're interviewing her tomorrow. We're interviewing her tomorrow. So we can ask her, do you have something to do with the murder?

I also saw her at the playground across the road from my house the other day. Did you actually? Yes, and I should have asked her there too. We live in a buzzy world, don't we? We will be talking to the cast of White Lotus tomorrow and the cast of The Last of Us. We're going to do some interviews for Neon, so wish us luck. We're flying out to Sydney tonight.

Zed in's brain and clench. Elon Musk has done an interview with Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson on their podcast, some podcast where it's three white men talking about space and what they believe are the predictions of when we will be able to live on Mars. Live on Mars? Live. We haven't even landed on Mars yet.

No, we got a little robot on Mars, didn't we? Is the theory that whoever goes to Mars first stays there? Like if you're the first one going, you're the coloniser? It's a great question. I don't know. It's interesting. Have you watched that movie The Martian? Matt Damon.

Matt Damon. Where he grows potatoes in his poos. Yeah, on Mars. Because they, I mean, might not be that far off to what these guys are talking about could happen in the next five or ten years where essentially a group of them go and do studies and stuff on Mars and then they fly back. So they do fly back. In that movie. Okay.

But Elon Musk has claimed that people could set foot on Mars in four years' time. Yeah, okay, yeah. He loves to swing for the fence, doesn't he? I watched a video of all the timelines that Elon Musk has promised in the past. Yeah, what are some of them and have they come true? I won't get the dates right, but he was like, we'll have self-driving cars in 2017 on the roads. Okay, so that was wrong.

And Teslas can self-drive but they don't they're not allowed to that wasn't his prediction there's some in san francisco but they're kind of like a novelty right yeah like the ubers yeah um he was like if i can get i'll get a hundred um tesla gigafactories up and running and that'll be enough to um electrify the planet which hasn't happened um and then the other big one is the humanoid robots the tesla robots which actually you know what was interesting about when you know when the footage came out about those robots yeah and they were these robots and they look like they were fully doing fully autonomous robots yeah yeah turns out it was all being powered by and controlled by humans

yeah there was someone in a truck that was driving the robot. Yeah, he was like, oh, it was just an example of what it could be. Which I do get. He's like, I'm showing you what's possible. I was like, yeah, but it's not possible yet because it's not working. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, yeah. They also said on this podcast.

He achieves crazy things. You've got to credit him with that. A hundred percent. I feel like he inflates or deflates the timelines for the headlines because it's a pretty saucy headline to go, we'll be on Mars before 2030. You know what one of the other predictions they made on this podcast was? That in 20 years, he reckons that one million people

would be able to live sustainably on Mars. Which is just not true. Which is just not true. We can't live sustainably on Mars. Which is just not true. Which is just not true. We can't live sustainably on Earth. We haven't got it right here yet. No, we haven't figured out this yet. And I mean, Mars, let's be real, I don't know all that much about Mars, but I do know that the environment and the climate is pretty brutal.

Like in summer, it doesn't really get over zero degrees. But what is he imagining changing the climate of a planet? Yeah. I don't know. I also have issues, I mean I don't want to get political, but you've got issues where a billionaire is the first human being to colonise

a new planet. Yeah, I don't know if that's a good idea. Does that mean that he is the president of Mars? If he gets there first, is it finders keepers? Is it whoever gets to Mars first owns Mars? What's the jurisdiction on Mars? Kind of like Columbus landing in America. Is it like, do you get there and you

go, I claim this planet in the name of Elon Musk? Yeah, that's a great question. Does that mean Neil Armstrong owns the moon? He should have claimed the moon. He should have gone, shotgun. Dibs.

Shotgun. The moon's called Neil now. Dibs on the moon. Start calling it moon. Start calling it Neil. Anyway, not keen to go. Neither. I'd rather stay here.

I'm much more interested in Zidiam's world tour to the Hamilton Islands, please. Me too. Zidiam's Brie and Clint podcast. That is the end of the show. We've got to go. We are going to the airport. We are catching a flight to Sydney to interview the cast of The Last of Us and White Lotus tomorrow. God, it's days like this where I think best job in the world.

Best job in the world, yeah. How bloody exciting two of, or if not two of the biggest shows of the year, we get to interview both casts. Who are you most excited to interview? Well, I'm keen to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Patrick Schwarzenegger. Please don't call him Arnold Schwarzenegger's son. Just call him Patrick. Really? I can't call him son of Arnie?

I can't go, how's dad? Maybe you could ask how dad is. Is dad proud of you? Is dad here? Can we talk to Dad? Yeah, does Dad chaperone you? Hey, can you ask Dad is there going to be a True Lies Part 2? Hey, can you FaceTime Dad?

Hey, can you do your best Arnie impression? Can you do the voice? You're his son. Can you do the voice? Can you do it? Who are you most excited for? Probably Bella Ramsey from The Last of Us. She's the main girl in The Last of Us, right?

Yeah, and I just think I have so many questions. Yeah. And obviously they are leading the charge in terms of season two, so it'll be great to talk to them. Well, wish us luck. We'll be live from Sydney tomorrow. Have a good night. Bye.

Play ZM's Brie and Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok, Well, wish us luck. We'll be live from Sydney tomorrow. Have a good night. Bye.
