Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show live from New Zealand.
Back in the country, the gang's all here, producers on board, you're in the country, I'm here.
Good to be back.
I've got aeroplane stink on me.
You know when you've been on an international flight and you feel like you've got
a bit of a plane whiff about you?
Yeah, they give you a certain smell.
Yeah.
Anyway, you get to enjoy that
for the next few hours.
Well, better than your usual smell.
My usual whiff.
Yeah, sure.
Tariff day.
So, good news for the Brian Clint show.
Trump has not imposed any tariffs
on the Brian Clint podcast
going into America.
That is good news.
That's good.
Yeah.
Oh, you all right?
Yeah, it should be in my throat.
You get a lot of stuff stuck in your throat, eh?
I know.
Yeah.
I think I'm dehydrated.
Did I mention I've been on an aeroplane?
Yeah, it does dehydrate you for sure.
Doesn't it?
I'm like a raisin up in here.
Were you full of fluffs on the plane? That happens
as well. Oh no.
Actually I don't know I was asleep.
Fun show on the
way for you. Don't ask me what's on it but it will be
good. The return of Brian Clint's Gaydar.

correctly guess whether you're gay or not.
That's correct. We'll do it after 5 o'clock.

I have got a running tally on my notes.
Tradies are coming right back.

It's Tradie

Tradies,
26 Ladies.
You're sure?
I'm sure,
yeah,
because I did it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Positive? Yeah. Okay. Positive?
Yeah.
That wasn't convincing.
All right.
Claudia says it was the tradies, and I know the score yesterday was 23-26.
Okay, sweet.
Well, 24 to the tradies, 26 ladies then.
Our lady is in the Bay of Plenty.
She's 40, and she auditioned for New Zealand Idol at the age of 18.
Welcome to the show, Kate.
Hello.
Hi, Kate.
How far did you get?
I didn't get anywhere.
Which season?
The Michael Murphy season?
The very first one.
Michael Murphy, Ben Lummis.
It must have been, yeah.
Oh, my God, the best season.
Do you remember what feedback they gave you
as to why you didn't get the ticket?
You literally sing to a producer and they were just like,
no, thank you, goodbye.
You didn't even get to meet Dominic Bowden? No, I didn't get to go through. I didn't get the ticket? You literally sing to a producer and they were just like, no, thank you, goodbye. You didn't even get to meet Dominic Bowden?
No, I didn't get to go through.
I didn't get to be on TV.
Do you want to give us a little bit now
and we can decide if they made a mistake?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
Good decision, Kate.
Good decision.
Taking on our tradie today from Parmy, they're 23,
and they are mean at golf.
Welcome to the show, Kai.
G'day, Kai. Hello. Always Barmy in Parmy. They're 23 and they are mean at golf. Welcome to the show, Kai. G'day, Kai.
Hello.
Always Barmy in Parmy.
What is your handicap?
Five.
Is that good?
No, it's all right.
Not too bad.
Could be better, but it's not bad.
Could be better for sure, yeah.
Brent, I don't know how handicaps work.
No.
It's a good question to ask someone who plays golf.
Yeah, sounds like we do.
I know what Kai's handicap is, Parmy.
Your buzzer is tradie.
Kate, yours is lady.
The first three correct answers will win $50 cash today.
Here we go, guys.
Good luck.
Question number one.
What sports brand was initially known as Blue Ribbon Sports?
Is it Adidas, Nike, or New Balance?
Lady.
Yes, Kate.
New Balance? Ooh. Yes, Kate. New Balance?
Ooh.
No.

Ooh.
It's actually Nike.
Originally was known as Blue Ribbon Sports.
No points there.
Question number two.
What colour is the Powerade flavour Mountain Blast?
Lady.
Yes, Kate.
Red.
Ooh.
Kai.
Blue.
Yeah.
It is blue.
My favourite flavour.
Yeah, no, the only flavour that matters.
What?
Of Powerade.
Red is the best flavour.
Incorrect.
What do you think?
Blue's the best.
Blue's the only one that works.
What are you talking about?
Red all the way.
When has a hungover person ever said, oh, grab me a red Powerade?
I love red.
Yeah, only blue.
Only blue.
Red gives me energy.
Thank you, Kai.
Blue makes me sleepy.
No.
All right, question number three.
One to the tradies so far.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this.
Yes, Kai. 50 Cent. 50 Cent. That is 50 Cent. Tradies. Yes, Kai.

You need this one, Kate,
to stay in it.
Are you still there?
I know.
You've got this.
Here we go.
Question number four.
Which Jamaican runner
is an 11-time world champion
and holds the record?
Yes, Kai.
Usain Bolt.
It is Usain Bolt.
Famously sponsored by Gatorade, I think.
Yeah.
His favourite flavour is red, I believe, too.
Blue.
Blue.
I know Usain Bolt.
He loves a red Gatorade.
Sorry, Kate, not your day.
Unlucky, Kate.
I'll try again. I'll try again. Do try again. We have a score Gatorade. Sorry, Kate, not your day. Unlucky, Kate. I'll try again.
I'll try again.
Do try again.
We have a score update, guys.
So Kai has just taken a victory, which puts the tradies on 25,
and the ladies are officially on 27.
Okay?
Right.
So it's a two-point game, but you've done your bit, Kai.
Thank you very much.
Sweet.
50 bucks coming your way.
And a blue Powerade on us.
Red.
Make it a red one.
Thank you.
Just as long as we can all agree, not the white one.
Oh, never the white one.
Yuck.
Yuck.
Only crazy people drink the white one.
Vomit flavour.
Yuck.
I wasn't hungover before I started drinking this white Powerade.
Like sweet milk or something.
It's like sweat.
Z.M.'s Brie and Clint podcast.
Look, business up front, there's a lot of conjecture on the text machine
about the real score in Tradiverse Lady.
And can I thank the people for being such good bookkeepers?
Yeah.
Keeping us honest.
Custodians of Tradiverse Lady.
Because the last thing we want to do is undercut any team of points.
Yeah, yeah.
We want to be fair.
And your criticism is welcomed. We would like points. We want to be fair. And your criticism
is welcomed. We would like you to
direct it to Claudia, whose job
it is to keep the score. It's her fault.
I actually forgot what happened yesterday and I was like
there's a 50-50 chance. Just come up with an answer
you might get it right. You know what?
I'll say it with confidence and then I'll check it later.
I like that attitude. I like it.
I saw a motivational
quote somewhere yesterday,
and it said,
the wrong decision is better than indecision.
Thank you.
Just do something.
You did something.
It's a motto for my life,
and I stand by my decision.
And you're right, I was wrong.
I do apologise.
But we have now fixed it.
So what is the score?
The official score,
24 points to the tradies,
27 points to the ladies,
and that is my final decision.
Okay.
Okay, we're locking it in.
We're shutting off the feedback.
And we're never allowed to go away again because the scores just get too messed up.
Yeah, please never leave me again.
Okay.
It's a good way to feel needed in your job, eh?
It is.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like as soon as I'm not here on this show,
the scores go haywire on tradie versus lady. Okay, someone's claiming
all the responsibility over here. If you want to be
in charge of it, then yeah, by all means.
Who else
keeps score?
Not Claudia. Not me.
It's me. I'm
the scorekeeper. Yeah, okay, you do a good
and important job. Thank you.
There's a story in the news today about a Kiwi mum of
three. She's in the news because one of her bloody kids
has racked up a $6,700 credit card bill playing Roblox.
Oh, God, I feel an emancipation coming on.
She's not mad at the kid.
Is she not?
No.
Oh, she's mad at the company because there's not enough passwords?
Yeah, pretty much.
He's only 11 and he's playing the game on her phone, I think,
or maybe on an iPad or something.
He wouldn't have known.
He thought he was just claiming points.
Or did he know?
Or did he know?
There's some smart 11-year-olds.
You never know.
She's chosen to believe her child.
Either way, there's no way that a kid's
game should let you spend
$6,700. That's true. That's what it
comes down to. I agree. That
seems outrageous.
If anything, I was interested
as a kid, and as a kid,
like if I could spend
it's all imaginary money to you when you're a
kid too. It doesn't really
comprehend in your mind when you're a kid too. It doesn't really comprehend in your mind when you're a kid
how much money actually is worth.
The Roblox company here is the real enemy.
Yeah, they're at fault.
There were 53 charges on her Apple account over the last six months
between $6 and $430.
Oh, that was a big day on Roblox, wasn't it?
Imagine how good your Roblox day would be if you spent $430. Oh, that was a big day on roadblocks, wasn't it?
Imagine how good your roadblocks day would be if you spent $430 in one day.
There was a lot of roadblockins.
What's it?
Roadblocks.
Is it roadblock or roadblocks?
I don't know.
I don't play the game.
No, but...
Roadblocks.
Roadblocks.
Roadblocks.
Roadblocks.
Sorry, I'll do it like you.
Roblox.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, got it.
But finish the pun that you do.
No, it doesn't work now because I thought it was called something else.
Oh, you thought it was called Roadblox.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
If anything, there wasn't enough Roadblox.
Yeah.
In Roblox.
See, that's where I was getting at.
We got there.
That's why we're a good team.
That's the pun I was going to do.
I don't know that you could do this, but
she's managed to, with a lot of emails
and pestering and escalating,
she's managed to get three and a half grand
refunded from Apple so far.
She couldn't get all of it? Or she's still trying?
She's still trying. They'll drip feed it to you.
I reckon she deserves a whole lot.
Have you ever tried to contact
the Apple store or
the Google store before?
I got this email, must be last month, and they're like,
your domain name is set to renew for another 12 months.
Your Google domain name.
I was like, first of all, I don't remember buying one.
What's that?
It's like apparently I've registered a website address.
Do you have a Clint Roberts website?
No, I don't.
That's the thing.
But I tried to email them and be like, I don't want this.
I'm looking it up.
I don't want this address.
There's no website.
.co.nz.
There's no website.
What do you call this then?
Safari can't find the server?
Wait, hold on.
You wouldn't go with.co.nz.
You're going to go with.com.
No, I don't have a website.
Here we go.
Let me look.
If I have a website.
It says website coming soon.
Well, I'm paying for that page.
Is this yours?
My point is, if you try and contact Google about it, it's impossible.
I tried to ring, like a boomer, I tried to ring Google and be like, hey.
What's going to be on your website?
Oh, you know, links.
Are you going to sell, like, merch?
Spicy links.
You know, are you going to put some spicy links on there?
No, I don't have a website.
Where are you going to get spicy cuff links from?
No.
But you can, you have one in the domain, so that's yours.
Yeah, evidently.
You bought it.
But I don't want it.
How much are you paying for it?
I don't know.
Because Google won't tell you.
Because I don't know.
There'll just be a charge that comes off my credit card
in the next couple of months for this website that I don't want
and I don't know how.
I can't do anything about it.
Could come in handy though.
Yeah, yeah, could. Could come in handy, though. Yeah, yeah, could.
Could come in handy.
Yeah, look, if I have to leave this show because I get sick of you,
the website could come in handy.
So I would hang on to it because I think that is likely.
We'll go back to Australia.
We want to ask a very simple question.
Did your kid cost you heaps of money on your credit cards,
on your apps, on the computer?
Did they rack up a big bill?
And do you blame them?
Yeah.
Were you angry at them?
Were you furious at them?
Or were you angry at the situation and maybe a company like Roblox?
What's that thing on Matilda where she gets stuck in by the trunchbull?
The chokie.
The chokie.
Did you stick your kid in the chokie
after they racked up a big bill
on your credit card?
I don't know if we're allowed
to do that in 2025.
No, I'm talking past tense.
Oh, right, yeah.
Don't call us if they're in there now.
When it was okay.
That is Franklin.
We're just talking about the mum
who's in the news
because her 11-year-old
spent $6,700 on Roblox.
We've had a lot of texts explaining it from the Roblox community.
They said he spent $6,700 on Robux,
which the money you buy to spend inside Roblox.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Same thing.
It's an important detail.
Robux.
Robux.
Not to be confused with robust. No, not robust. No, Robux. Not to be confused with robust.
No, not robust.
No.
Robux.
Yeah, so yeah, no.
So now we know.
Jenny's here because, Jenny, your kid cost you a lot of money.
He did.
What did he do, Jenny?
He's only, well, he was seven at the time,
and I'd given him an old phone of mine just to watch YouTube
and play games on, and sitting in the lounge, and I got an email to say thank you for your purchase of
$125.
What did he buy?
He'd unlocked all the levels on his game.
Clever boy.
Well, he's not clever because he had to unlock all the levels.
Well, no, I'm not very clever.
I made him uninstall the game and I got hold of Play Store straight away.
Did they give you your money back?
I did.
I got it back within five days.
How much did you say it was, Jenny?
$125.
Oh, that hurts, doesn't it, on a bloody game?
Were you furious?
I was pissed off at the same time as understanding
because he didn't know what he had clicked.
That's the thing.
They don't know, eh?
And it would just look like fun.
Some of them don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
He just clicked yes and away it went.
Yeah.
See ya.
Bye, money.
Thanks, Jenny.
I want to hear about the kids who, like, get mum's old phone,
her banking's still logged in,
so you go and you transfer some money to yourself.
Yes, they know what they're doing.
They know what they're doing.
Like this text that's come through.
I gave my son, age 10 at the time, $1,500 in cash for his summer in Australia.
He lost his wallet somewhere between Tauranga and Auckland
on the way to the airport.
I got a phone call from him after he landed that it was gone.
Had to wire over another $1,500 to his grandmother
so he had spending money for the summer.
I'd say get a job.
Get a summer job.
It's the most insane thing I've ever heard.
You gave a 10-year-old $1,500 cash.
Yeah, that's wild.
And on their way to another country.
Yeah, he's going to stay with grandma in Australia.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm not questioning any of that stuff.
$1,500 cash to a 10-year-old.
Yeah, my mum and dad would have told me to get a summer job
or to sell some stuff on the side of the road.
Send the money to grandma in the first place
and let her drip feed her.
Yeah, that's a great point.
Although good summer for the kids.
Probably, you know, if it was like my grandma,
she probably had a bit of an affinity with the pokies.
I was going to say, I reckon this 10-year-old went to the pokies.
Blew it all.
He's like, oh, Mum, I lost my wallet.
Right into the pokey machine.
Jan's here.
Hi, Jan.
Hi, Jan.
Hiya.
Oh, no, another Roblox story.
This is your niece.
Yes, yes.
My brother thought his Platinum card had been skimmed,
and then they said, it's somebody inside your house,
and it was his daughter.
That's so ominous.
They're like, sir, somebody inside your house.
Yeah.
We can see the payments are coming from inside your house.
How much was it, Jan?
$1,400.
Wow.
$1,400.
But she had to wash cars.
Did she, to make the money back?
That's a lot of bloody cars.
$1,400.
$1,000 an hour.
God, her fingers would have been red raw by the end of that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's do the math on this.
$10 an hour washing cars.
For $1,400.
How many hours? It's do the math on this. $10 an hour washing cars. For $1,400. How many hours?
I'd have made 10.
It's 140 hours of car washing.
What kind of business are you running over there, Jan?
I think she got off easy.
My mum would have killed me.
That's six straight days no sleeping washing cars.
Fair enough.
Fair enough, too.
Jan said she got off easy.
Thanks, Jan.
Thanks, Jan.
Okay, thank you.
Bye.
See you, mate.
Good morning.
Yeah, we appreciate it.
Thanks so much.
Someone said all these parents letting their kids have devices without parental controls.
Yeah, but if the kid won't shut up, you know, sometimes it's just easier to chuck them the phone.
Yeah, you know, just want the peace and quiet.
Even if it costs you $1,400 on the platinum card.
We've both just got back from Australia
where we went for the premiere of The Last of Us,
big fancy red carpet premiere.
You didn't actually get to go to the red carpet event.
You had to come home early.
Yes, and I was very sad about it.
God, it was
incredible. Don't tell me.
Because you know that this is my
favourite show. This is the show I've been
looking forward to. Yeah, yeah. It's my show now.
No, it's my show still.
Which one of us went to the red carpet premiere?
How many episodes have you seen?
Just the one of this season.
The premiere itself, man, it was full on.
We went, Bree and I are very lucky that we get to go to a few of these things every now and then.
Like the Wicked one that we went to.
Incredible.
Incredible.
This was just even, because that show, The Last of Us,
like the set design and the post-apocalyptic nature of it is so incredible.
They did that in downtown Sydney.
Like they had like a crushed car.
And like, like.
It's all overgrown.
And there's like, yeah, it looks like what they believe a city would look like if it
had been left alone for 20, 30 years.
But down to the detail, like as you go into the theatre where the premiere is, they have
like that photo wall that everybody stands in front of and they have the red carpet. But they covered the red carpet in dirt and leaves
and little fragments of like drywall and bits of broken frame
and things like that.
Yeah, awesome.
That's crazy.
So good.
Big stars in the theatre, the cast of The Last of Us,
basically everybody except Pedro Pascal were there.
And also the cast of The White Lotus,
who we interviewed while we were over there
and we've had on the show yesterday.
One of the people that I was with was really hanging out
to catch a glimpse of Patrick Schwarzenegger,
Arnold Schwarzenegger's son.
Everyone wanted a glimpse of him.
Yeah, he's so hot right now.
And we were sitting in these seats and we spotted Morgana O'Reilly.
Yes, the Kiwi
actress who's on White Lotus. Yeah, yeah.
And so the person that I was with was like, Patrick must
be in that area there.
And I was like, oh yeah, okay. She goes, that's him.
I can see him. That's him.
And we're like, where?
I'm not sure where you're looking.
She goes, right there, next to Morgana.
And it was a bit far away and it was a bit dark in the theatre.
So I got out my fancy Samsung phone and I used my space, my zoom,
my ultra zoom thing to zoom in to see who it was.
And then I, because if you take a photo, it then makes the picture,
it like does something.
And after you've taken the photo, it's crisper and you can see what it is.
But I didn't realise that I had my flash on
oh no
I'm so glad I wasn't there
you're making me
so glad I wasn't at the premiere
I know
and everybody looks and I'm like oh shit
I quickly put the phone away
anyway
really good camera
I was able to tell from the picture
Who was it?
That it was not Patrick Schwarzenegger
It was some really handsome Indian guy
Embarrassing yourself in front of the entire theatre was worth it
Yeah but at least I didn't embarrass myself in front of Patrick
At least I wasn't there
Silver linings.
You know?
Oh, God.
And the flash is extra big on that phone.
It's got like six flashes on the new Samsung.
Who's the Samsung guy?
It's like pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.
The T, live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, Lorelei from Gilmore Girls is the next big star
on the Call Her Daddy podcast, and she's spilled the beans.
She sure has spilled the beans.
Okay, so obviously she was one of the stars of the Gilmore Girls show,
and she's actually talked about the fact that she did actually have
real-life relationships, real-life dating of some of the people
that played her love interests on the show.
Now, it was not Scott Patterson, okay, Luke?
We know it definitely wasn't him, but it was other people
that were her love interest across the show.
She shared all this in call.
You know, Alex Cooper can just get the truth out of anyone.
There's no getting past her.
She's so good with it.
There you go.
There was real life love interest on screen as well as on screen.
She's the mum.
I didn't watch Gilmore Girls, but just in case you're like me,
she was the mum on Gilmore Girls, eh, Brie?
Yes.
Laura Lai.
I didn't really watch it either, but I know that she was the mum.
There's big hype around the reboot of that show and then bringing it back,
but it only really came back for one season, didn't it, Dean?
Yeah, I thought it was going to be bigger than that, but yeah,
there's a lot of excitement around it and then it kind of came and went.
Unfortunately.
It's interesting to see the guests that Alex Cooper has had on lately.
I feel like it's peak millennial.
Who was it?
Oh, Chapel Roan.
And I was mainly talking about.
Monica Lewinsky.
Yep, Meredith.
Monica Lewinsky.
From Grey's Anatomy, Lorelei.
Yeah, right.
Is Alex Cooper millennial?
Is she a millennial?
How old do we reckon Alex Cooper is?
Yeah, she'll be a millennial.
30.
32?
She's 30.
She's cuspy.
31 this year.
When's the cutoff?
I think it's 30.
I think Claudia's the cutoff.
Are you the cutoff for millennial Gen Z, Claudia?
Nah, I'm pretty sure I'm like a year or two out.
Oh, you're firm millennial.
But I'll take it.
I'll be a customer. 1981 to 1996.
She's born in 1994.
Oh, she's got two years.
She's got two years.
Yeah, there you go.
That's the latest
from our Gen Z Hollywood correspondent,
Dee McCarthy.
The ZM Podcast Network.
We were just talking before
about you were asking
about our Morgana O'Reilly interview.
Claudia's got the clip.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, if you missed it, we talked to her about, obviously, her performance in White Lotus.
Pam is her character.
Yeah, she dropped the bombshell that her character was Aussie.
I thought she was Kiwi.
This is what Morgana said.
Before I filmed, I remember being stopped and shot by this woman.
She goes,
I heard about your big news
and I think it's brilliant.
And I said,
what do you think?
Do you think I should play her
as a Kiwi or an Aussie?
She said,
I'll do whatever you like, Del.
And then she said,
what do you think
to the girl behind the till?
And she goes,
oh, go Kiwi.
Put us on the mat.
Yeah.
I love it.
But I didn't.
I chose Australian
because it was funnier.
Sorry. Did you? I feel strong chose Australian because it was funnier. Sorry.
Did you?
I feel strong Kiwiness coming through from her.
No.
Yeah.
It was pretty Oka Aussie.
Yeah, I did go pretty Aussie.
I related to it, yeah.
Well, I guess I work with you every day.
It's so subtle.
Yeah.
Like I said, it all sounds the same to me.
Yeah.
Like it all meshes into one.
Yeah.
The rest of the world think we sound the same. Yeah. Yeah. So we may meshes into one. Yeah. The rest of the world think we sound the same.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we may as well just roll with it.
Just go with it.
Anyway, she was amazing and that's the main thing.
I want to talk about this interesting survey I was reading about
because they asked, I believe it was like 2,000 single people,
what are the actual questions you want to ask on like early dates?
Yeah, okay.
And this is quite interesting because I feel like everyone on those early kind of dates
don't really ask the questions that they really want to know.
Yeah.
It depends, I think.
Like it depends how far into your dating career you are.
Like if you're getting a bit jaded, you probably cut to the chase a bit more these days, don't you?
Yeah.
You're like, look, I don't have time to piss around.
This is what I need to know.
Do you want kids or not?
Yes or no?
Yeah.
Are you religious?
Yes or no?
Yeah.
Criminal convictions?
Yes, no.
Do you cheat?
Your last relationship, did you cheat?
Who are you voting for?
Yes.
Yes, no.
These are the questions.
Do you want to hear what people said?
Mm-hmm.
These are the biggest ones that they would like to ask on first dates
So a lot of people say that they want to know the age, relationship status, stuff about money
Wait, relationship status?
Like I think past relationship
Oh
Like history
I hope you would know their relationship status if you were on a date with them
You'd want to, wouldn't you?
Yeah But these are the main ones Oh. Like history. I hope you would know their relationship status if you were on a date with them. You'd want to, wouldn't you? Yeah.
But these are the main ones.
The first one is,
what do you look like first thing in the morning?
Oh, not good.
A few people wanted to know that.
Yeah.
Next one, how much money do you earn?
Wow, yeah.
I've told this story before.
I was asked that on a date once.
Did you tell them?
Yeah. How much was it? It's like 40 grand, I've told this story before I was asked that on a date once Did you tell them? Yeah
How much was it?
It was like 40 grand
Which I thought was really good at the time
What did they say?
They said oh I'm on 75
Awkward
Yeah it was
It was real awkward
Because I was quite proud
It was like $40,000
Awkward that they asked that in the first place
These are other questions that single people really want to ask
Are your teeth real?
Okay
Next one
In the age of veneers
Yeah, maybe
Or is that like an elderly question, like in the age of dentures?
Could be for both
Those things come out?
How glued in are those things?
You got a glass beside the bed?
Next one, what is your bank balance right now?
Really?
Yeah, apparently.
I have heard people who wish they could ask how much debt the person had.
That's a great question.
Yeah.
I feel like it probably is somewhere in here.
How wealthy you are, but how badly financially struggling are you?
How irresponsible with money are you?
I'd rather know that than how much money someone earns.
Like do you have a crap load of debt?
Yeah, yeah.
Are you drowning in afterpay?
Yeah.
Another big question people said they would love to ask is asking their
potential partner directly how many people they've indoor gardened with.
Really?
Yes.
Okay.
Which I feel like that's pretty standard.
I knew that would be on here.
Do you ask?
Not on like first dates.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe like however many months into dating someone I'd ask.
So you do ask?
I would ask, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Because I'm not like the type of person where I'm going to get super jealous.
Just curious.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Interesting. Yeah. Not for like any reason other super jealous. Curious. Yeah. Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Not for
like any reason other than
be interesting to know. Yeah.
And then the last question
is people want to know
on first dates
how people voted and if they
voted conservative. Yeah. Right.
Because obviously that probably will tell them
a lot about their politics. Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of good ones in there.
Are your teeth real?
It would make...
I feel like you can tell.
It would make a good first date.
Remember that show, First Dates?
Yes.
Imagine we set up a first date for some people
and these are the questions.
We give them the cue cards with the questions
and these are the questions.
Before they can have any other part of their date,
these are the questions they have to get through.
So you sit down, first question, what's your bank balance?
It'd be an interesting show to watch, wouldn't it?
Second question, how many people have you indoor gardened with?
Yeah.
Are those chompers real?
And obviously, once you ask the question,
they have to answer and then you have to answer it.
It'd be a great show to watch.
I also just came up with another radio game.
Can we get a bunch of people in here and they can't say anything
but they just smile and we guess if their teeth are real or not?
Yeah, yeah.
And, like, it'd be a great ad for dentists.
Well, Invisalign.
If we get it wrong and their teeth aren't real.
Yeah. You know, it'd be a great ad for a dentist
What do you call it?
It's all in the name of a game like that
What do we call it?
Teeth or deer
Teeth or deer
Teeth
Teeth
Teeth for tat
Teeth for
Tit and teeth Oh, we guess if the boobseth for... Tit and teeth?
Oh, we guess if the boobs are real.
Tits and teeth.
We guess if the boobs and the teeth are real.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good.
Yeah.
Let's lock that in.
Okay.
While you guys work on that idea,
I want to ask people what is the craziest question.
Grin and reveal it.
Someone just text them.
Yeah, quite like that.
Yeah.
I want to ask the question right now.
What is the craziest question someone has asked you on a date?
Oh, okay.
Like where you just couldn't believe that someone was asking you this question.
The gall of the person to ask you that question on a date.
What did you just ask me?
0800 dials at M or you can text us
on 9696.
Few more
suggestions coming through.
Truth or falsies?
Truth or false. Truth or false.
Truth or false. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Anyway, we want to know the bold
questions you were asked on a date. Yeah,
the outrageous thing that someone asked you
on a date. And did you answer it?
It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.
Boy, there is some doozies on the text machine.
I don't know if people are rude or if they have no filter or if...
I think people get flustered.
Dates are difficult.
Yeah.
Aren't they?
And a lot of people aren't comfortable with silence,
especially on like a first or second date.
I am that guy.
You know, so you'll just say anything to fill the silence
and sometimes you say the wrong thing.
Totally.
And you know what?
But I don't know that all of these are examples of that.
Some of these are just people showing their real character.
I think some people are just unhinged.
Everybody who's contributed has contributed via text.
Let's go through some of them.
Yeah, my first favourite unhinged text is this one.
They said, it was a first date and the guy I was on a date with
asked if I could flash my choosies.
It was 2pm on a Saturday and we were at mini golf.
It's so dumb from him because if he had not asked that question
and just had a better date, he might have seen them eventually.
What an idiot.
You know, he just got a bit of him in himself.
Can I just ask, though, what grown adult asks someone
to flash their choozies at them?
What grown adult is asking for that? At mini golf.
No, anywhere. No, but
also it speaks to the guy who's like, oh, I'll take you
to mini golf and then when you show me
your boobies. And then
I'm going to play Roblox.
Go home
and have a good sleep.
Someone said, more of a statement really,
she said, I thought guys in the military
were meant to be musclier.
Oh, that's, yeah, that's harsh, isn't it?
And it's a harsh one.
I love this one.
They said, I was asked on a second date, when we have children,
will you let me try your breast milk direct from the breast?
There was not a third date.
Corblimey.
I am not shocked that there was not a third date. Oh, blimey. I am not shocked that there was not a third date.
So much about that.
The second date bit, the assumption when we have children,
not if we have children.
It's just weird.
Well, there's so many weird parts in there.
I was asked if I would stop going to bars if I was in a relationship
because why could I possibly want to be trashy and look available
if I wasn't single?
Bars are only for single people, apparently.
That's such a red flag, already trying to control someone.
Isn't it?
And where they go and what they do.
Isn't it?
Run. Run.
Someone else texted and they said,
a guy asked me if my periods were regular.
Me.
TF.
What a creep.
Honestly, tell me, okay, here's a good question for you as a man.
Very regular.
What, no.
Thank you.
What is the one reason that would make that question okay on a date?
He's a creep.
Like there isn't one, is there?
It's absolutely none of his business. He's a creep. Like there isn't one, is there? It's absolutely none of his
business. It's so weird.
It's absolutely none of his business and he
either gets off on it or
It's creepy AF.
Yeah. Nah.
An Irish guy
asked me on a date, if I buy you
all the emeralds you want, will you come
back to Ireland with me and milk my cows?
That sounds nice.
I mean, that's quite nice.
I'd rather that than the period question.
So Irish of him to offer emeralds as well?
Yeah.
Not diamonds.
Emeralds.
Emeralds.
No wonder.
And you come back to the Emerald Isles with me.
And you can milk all of me cows.
Is that good?
Uh-oh, Paul's back.
Paul's rubbed off on me.
Damn it, Paul.
He what?
That's a private chat.
Someone said, I got asked on a date once if I was circumcised.
Okay, so you asked me the period one.
Can I ask you, as a woman, what possible reason would you have to ask?
I'm all natural.
Yeah. I have
one. Religion
maybe.
Just ask if he's Jewish.
See if that's an easier
way to ask.
Look for the yarmulke. I don't know.
Someone on
a date asked what my body count was.
That was one of the questions.
That was one of the questions.
From the crazy questions that people wish they could ask.
That person just let their intrusive thoughts win.
Uh-huh.
So.
Yeah.
There you go.
Some of these are disgusting, by the way.
We can't read them.
What about this one?
I had a guy on a first date ask if he could give me a hickey.
We were on a date at a school fair.
Never dated him again.
That's weird as well.
Who asks before giving someone a hickey?
And also, who is giving people hickeys?
And who's going on dates at a school fair?
Well, there might be a Ferris wheel there.
And candy apples.
True.
Good point.
A ZM's Brinklin Podcast.
Brinklin's Gator. It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Brie and Clint's Gaydar.

Brie's Gaydar, very good.
I feel like yours has been pretty good the last couple of weeks.
Has it been improving?
Yeah, I think so.
Maybe just needed a bit of, you know, a bit of use.
Yeah, right.
Have you been using it?
In this game?
Oh, of course, yeah.
In this game?
Practising.
You call up.
We just get to ask you one question each, generic question,
and from there we will run our gaydar over you
and try and guess whether you are straight or otherwise.
Yes.
Who's up first?
We'll go with Sophie.
Hi, Sophie.
Hi, Sophie.
Hi.

Oh.
Warm. Summer. Summer. And why? Oh, warm.
No seasonal depression.
And that's when the pride parade is, eh, Sophie?
I can't answer.
You're out there.
Sophie, what's your bedtime?
Oh, like 9.

I agree
Sophie you straight

written all over you
Sophie

I can make you that
yeah
I feel like you wanted us
to be like
you were like
oh I want them to say I'm gay
yeah
I'm different
yeah I want to be different.
Hey, you're still great.
Sophie, thanks for playing.
One from one.
Sophie's so excited.
She's so gutted that she's not.
I wanted to sound gay.
I really wanted to be cool and gay.
Not today, Sophie.
Ashley's here.
Hi, Ashley.
Hi, Ashley.
Hi, guys.
How are you going?
We're good.
Sounds like our gaydar is on today so we're going to get you
as well. Okay.
Gay.
Oh you're going straight in.
Don't need to hear anything else.
I
heard that laugh after you said that
and so I'm going to go gay too.
Ash you gay?
Yep.
Ash I picked you from a mile away.
In my defense, I've only been out and actually gay for like seven, eight months.
Really?
Yeah, I was with a man for 10 years.
Well, if Bree had come to your house, she would have been like, girl, what are you laying?
I feel like I could have told you years ago, Ashley.
I feel like everybody could have told you years ago.
Bree could have told you on your wedding day. I feel like everybody could have told me years ago. Brie could have told you on your wedding day.
Ashley, well, welcome.
Welcome to the club.
It's good to be here.
Good to have you.
We are on fire today.
Let's go to Chris on Gaydar.
Hi, Chris.
Hi, Chris.
How are you doing?
How's your day been so far?
Very well, thanks.
You did a great job at something on the weekend, I should say, Clint.
Oh, thanks, Chris.
Did I see you in the crowd? You may have seen me up the front. Very well, thanks. You did a great job at Symphony on the weekend, I should say, Clint. Oh, thanks, Chris.
Did I see you in the crowd?
You may have seen me up the front.
So polite.
Hey, Chris. I did speak.
Well, the reason I ask is I did speak to a wonderful area of gays
when I went into the crowd at Symphony,
and I was wondering if potentially Chris was one of them.
Did they have them cornered off again?
Yeah, we had them in the gay area.
Yeah, you had to pay extra.
Yeah, yeah.
Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris.
Got to be a generic question.
What's your KFC order, Chris?
I'm a vegetarian, so no KFC for me.
Chris, you're gay.
Yeah, I agree.
Not necessarily because of that, but I feel like Chris is gay too.
Are you gay, Chris?
I'm not gay.
No.
Are you straight?
I'm straight, yes.
Have you thought about a two-piece feet?
No, I can't say I have.
Sorry, hon.
We couldn't pick you, Chris, so you stopped us.
You threw me.
You know, to be honest, to be honest,
I was thinking straight before the vegetarian answer.
Yeah, you went too early.
And I should have went with my gut.
You didn't even ask your question.
You got cocky.
That's what you did.
My initial thought was straight.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks, Chris.
Let's keep going.
See if we can redeem ourselves with Beth.
Hi, Beth.
Hi, Beth.
Hey, how's it going?
Well, thank you.
Welcome to Gaydar, Beth. Hi, Beth. Hi, Beth. Hey, how's it going? Good, thank you. Welcome to Gaydar, Beth.
Thank you.
Beth, my question for you is,
what is your favourite place you've holidayed or holigayed?
Holigayed, I love that.
I haven't gone many places.
Probably the UK, though.
Okay.
I really enjoyed London.
Okay. Beth, when life there. Okay.
Beth, when was the last time you cleaned your water bottle?
Once a week, minimum.
God, that's good from you.
Yeah, that's really good from you.
I haven't done it for a month.
I heard something that there's more germs.
Yeah, more germs on that than a toilet seat.
It really took me off.
Beth. Beth, you go. It really took me off. Beth.
Beth, you go.
Yeah, Beth's go.
I'm not.
Oh!
Really?
How old are you, Beth?
Pardon?
How old are you?
I'm 30.
There's still time.
There's still time.
Yes, Beth, we're at 50%.
We're going to finish on Elena.
Hi, Elena.
Hi, Elena.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thank you, Elena.
Elena, Elena, Elena, what's your favourite flower?
Oriental lily.
Good answer.
Yeah, great answer.
Elena, are you a morning showerer or a night time showerer
or do you like both?
Night time.
Just one word answer didn't give me much today.
We've got to go off gut.
We've got to go off gut.
And if we get this wrong, this week's a fail.
Okay, wait.
Let me feel the vibes.
Elena, whereabouts do you live?
West Auckland.
She gay.
Nah, she's straight.
Lock it in.
She gay.
She's straight.
I'm going to go against you on this last one.
Elena, what are you?
I am bi.
Winner!
She goes in the gay can.
You get it.
Well done.
Thank you, Elena.
Thank you.
For all your services to the community.
You're welcome.
Bree finishes on 60% in gaydar.
I fail on 40%.
Not the best week for us.
We can come back, though.
Yeah, we've done better.
Yeah, we have.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
But we have made the game harder as the weeks have gone on.
Yeah, yeah. You know? It's getting too easy. We can't
ask everyone if they own Doc Martens.
If we could see you guys, we'd know.
Yeah, exactly.
Play Zed In's Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a
birthday banger. Let's do a birthday
banger for each of these three people,
a.k.a. the number one song on their 16th.
Kyla is up first.
Kia ora.
Hi, Kyla.
Kia ora, team.
How's your day been, Kyla?
What have you been up to?
Pretty good, pretty good.
Not much.
I just dropped my kids off to their school disco.
Oh, blue light disco.
How good.
How good.
Yeah, pretty much.
How fun. School discos is such a core memory, eh?
Like I remember my school discos vividly.
Yeah, I got serious burns on my knees one time
when I attempted to knee slide from one side of the room to the other.
Oh, yeah.
And I did it, but I had no skin on my knees for like a year.
Hi, whoever that is in the background.
Who's that?
That's my daughter, my two-year-old.
Oh, she's not going.
Hey, Kyla, what is your date of birth, mate?
11th of June, 1995.
Right, that means you were 16 in 2011.
And on your 16th, this was number one.
Oh, this would go off at the disco, Kyla.
Yes, it's a disco tune.
You guys could have a car disco with this.
Banger.
Example played this at Symphony just last week.
He was phenomenal.
His set was so good.
Very good.
You into this, Kyla?
I am.
It's taking me back to my 16th.
Yeah, tune.
Example, change the way you kiss me.
Let's do Abby's birthday banger.
Hi, Abby.
Hi.
Are you ordering food?
Can you order me something?
Can I please get a zinger combo?
Oh, cannelloni.
Even better.
Yeah.
Delightful. Well, hopefully.
Abs, what's your date of birth? June. 1980. 12ightful. Well, hopefully. Ebbs, what did you do at birth?
12th of June.
1980.
12th of June, 1980.
Abby, that means you were 16 in 1996.
We've done our calculations on that day.
This was number one.
One time, one time.
The Fugees.
Killing Me Softly
What do you reckon, Abby?
Well, it's a great song.
I don't know if it's a banger.
Yeah.
I like it.
It's a banger.
I like it.
I love it.
The thing it reminds me of, though,
is that scene in About a Boy
when he's on stage
and he sings it for his mum or something.
Iconic.
I remember driving in the car with my mum singing,
and she was singing it, and we were like,
how do you know this song?
And it had been around forever.
It's been around forever, yeah.
Oh, has it?
Yeah.
We thought it was a new song.
No, yeah, Lauryn Hill's covering it there with the Fugees.
Oh.
Yeah.
Didn't know that.
I think it was like, I don't know, Roberta Flack or someone like that.
Nina Simone, yeah. Yeah, right.'t know, Roberta Flack or Nina Simone.
Yeah, right.
Wait there, Abs.
We're going to do one more birthday banger for Anisha.
Hi, Anisha.
Ashna.
Oh, Ashna.
Hi.
Ashna?
Yes, it is Ashna.
Ashna. Perfect, mate.
Sorry, I've inserted an I into your name, but I'm just going blind.
Don't worry about it.
Have you thought about changing it to Anishna?
I have been called Anisha and Ashtar and all that
and school, so all good. Sounds good, mate. What have you been doing
today, Ashna? Not a lot. We're just travelling up to Auckland.
Oh, lovely. Where from? Martin. Oh, well,
thanks for having us on, keeping you company. We'll do your birthday banger whilst you do that.
What is your date of birth?
30th of March, 1999.
All right.
That means, Ashna, you were 16 in 2015.
And on the 30th of March, 2015, this was number one.
Because I don't want to work on my own anymore.
Won't you understand?
Because I don't want to work alone.
I'm ready for this. Tune, Ashna. you get Jess Glenn, Hold My Hand.
Oh, I do like this one.
I do love that one from Jess Glenn.
What happened to Jess Glenn?
She's still around.
She hasn't done much lately.
I'd love to hear some more from her.
Yeah, yeah.
Abby was totally right, by the way.
It was Roberta Flack.
God, Abby, on the money. You're a music historian, Abby. Abby was totally right, by the way. It was Roberta Flack. God. Abby, on the money.
You're a music historian, Abby.
You were bang on.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
Well done.
I reckon I'm going to vote for example.
Yeah, me too.
Are you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kyla, that means you have taken it out today.
Well done.
Yeah, yeah. Thanks, team.
Get the car disco going, mate.
You and the two-year-old.
Cool.
You get example from 2011.
Put the glow sticks on the two-year-old.
You'll never lose them.
I've never been afraid of the highest heights.
ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.
Change the way you kiss me.
Example on ZM, Brie and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger for Kyla.
It's from the year 2011.
Took down the Fugees and Jess Glynn,
who in my head I was getting confused with Becky Hill.
Oh, were you?
Yeah.
They occupy a similar space in my mind.
I feel like they're very different women.
Jess Glynn looks like the girl from that cartoon movie Brave.
Yes.
Bright, beautiful red hair.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And then Becky Hill, blonde.
I mean, they're both English.
They're both big guest vocalists on electronic tracks a lot of the time.
Yeah.
Jess Glynn with Clean Bandit.
Becky Hill with...
On Her Own.
Net Sky and Wilkinson.
Bangers, both of them.
Bangers, both of them.
Next, Bree's got a big fact she wants to drop on us.
And she's been building up to this.
Yeah, I haven't fact-checked it.
Nah, don't.
And I did say that to you guys before this,
so we're going to fact check on air.
We're going to fact check it live.
Yeah.
I like that.
It could be real.
It might not.
We don't claim to be a reputable news source.
No, that's not our job.
But if this is, can I just say if it is true, this next fact,
it's going to blow your mind.
All right.
Something that most of us would be using every day
and thinking it works a certain way.
Ab King Pro.
And we're completely wrong.
All right, we'll talk about it next.
It's ZM.
ZM Franklin.
You know what I love?
I love seeing things on the internet and just automatically believing it.
That's the way these days.
That is the way, the way of the world.
I saw this clip of this guy saying this outrageous fact
that went against everything I know.
Yeah.
And I haven't fact-checked it.
Okay.
But I thought I would bring it to the table and play it to you guys
and then we can discuss if it's true or not.
And then are we going to properly fact check it?
Yeah.
Okay, so we'll run it through our filter first
and then we'll do some proper research.
Yeah, here's the fact.
Today years old when I realise 30% chance of rain doesn't mean that.
It means 30% of the area of the city you're in will get rain.
Okay.
Hmm.
What?
Hmm.
So, I have heard this fact.
I think it is true, but I don't believe it.
My understanding is 30% chance of rain means in that window,
let's say it's at 1 o'clock, 30% chance of rain.
My understanding, there's a 30% chance of precipitation.
Rain.
There's a 30% chance of rain within that period, that time period.
Yeah.
That it's going to rain. I always understood it as% chance of rain within that period, that time period. Yeah. That it's going to rain.
I always understood it as the probability of rain.
The odds are 30%.
Not the area.
Yeah.
There's a 3 in 10 chance of rain.
But I think that this person is right.
If the forecast says rain, there's a 100% chance of rain,
but it's only going to fall on 30% of the area.
You're confusing me now.
It will definitely rain.
It's definitely going to rain.
But that's a 100% chance then.
Yeah, but if it says 30% chance of rain for Auckland,
30% of Auckland will get rainy.
No, it just means 30% chance of raining.
But that's what this guy said.
Yeah.
I don't believe him.
No, I don't believe him either.
I think it's BS.
What do you guys think,
producers?
BS.
Yeah, I think if it says
there's going to be
X amount of rain,
I just think cool it will rain.
You know who we should ask?
You know who we should ask?
Who?
Maddie.
Maddie McLean.
Yeah.
Celebrity weatherman.
Should we call him?
Okay.
He'll be doing his own radio show.
He might be on there right now.
But what's more important?
You know who else we'll know?
Is my dad the farmer.
Oh, yeah, okay.
My dad lives and breathes weather.
You call Big Steve.
Okay.
I'll call Maddie and we'll see who picks up first, okay?
Ask for a weather forecast as well while we're here.
It's happening because it's been bloody raining a lot.
Let's see what we can get.
I think it is true, though.
Like, I think the fact is correct.
I don't think it is.
I think it's BS.
Someone answered it. Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
He screened us.
It's all on my dad.
Yeah, okay.
Hold on.
Claudia, did you call Big Steve?
We've lost his number.
Oh.
And I forgot to save it into my personal phone.
I deleted it because you were harassing him.
Come on, Big Steve.
Yeah, g'day, Big Steve.
Hiya, sweetheart. Question for you, Dad. It's a weather question
and I thought, who do I know that knows weather well and it's you?
Don't know about that, Brianna. Question for you. When they say there's, for example, a 30% chance of rain,
does that mean there's a 30% chance it's going to rain
or that 30% of that area that they're talking about will get rain?
Which one?
30% chance that it will rain.
But then they divide that chance into how much rain.
So it could be a 30% chance for one mil
and then it will come back down to maybe 10% chance for 10 mil.
But that's the actual chance for precipitation for rain.
Yeah, right.
Not the area.
I knew you would know.
Yep.
Yeah, I look at it every day.
I should know, shouldn't I?
If you went on a game show, I feel like
weather would be your specialty
category.
Yeah, I'd probably be alright in the weather section.
Yep. Right, Dad, thanks
for answering that. Appreciate it.
No problem at all.
Anytime. And guess what? It's been raining
here all day, Dad.
Well, it was raining here all day yesterday.
We got 48 mil yesterday.
Far out. Was that
in the gauge, was it?
Yeah, yeah. We've had
230 mil
in the last probably 10 days
or two weeks. Far out, far out.
Alright, well, we could talk weather all day
but I'm kind of on the radio right now.
Okay. Love you right now. Okay.
All right.
Love you, Dad.
Bye.
Bye.
Can I say that I am impressed and still confused?
Me too.
Like, I think he nailed it.
Yeah.
And I believed him, but I still don't get it.
Someone on the text machine said, aren't they the same answer?
Like, someone said, aren't they the same answer? Like someone said, aren't they the same thing?
Because 30% chance of rain in the region still means 30% chance of rain for you.
Yeah, it is.
But there's two different ways of looking at it.
If you're in the area and the area is 100% and it's going to hit 30% of the area,
it's like a roulette table.
You are only on one square, so you have a 30% chance of getting...
I feel like this is the modern-day version of when, you know,
us as Neanderthals, we were like...
Fire!
It's that Zoolander scene when they're like...
The fires are inside the computer.
Tomorrow on the show, we're going to invent fire.
We're going to rub some sticks together.
And the wheel.
Zed in's brain cleanse.
Hey, I had an interesting experience at my Pilates class this morning.
Oh, yeah. So normally the Pilates class I go to is a virtual one.
So there's like five Reformer Pilates in the room
and you kind of buzz yourself in and you put your headphones in
and you click on the screen and you pick the class you want to do
and it's a real person running the class,
but it's a video of a person showing you what to do.
It's like Wii Sports Resort, eh?
No.
You're not really doing Pilates but you feel like you are.
They're the real people.
So normally, yeah, I'll head in there, put my headphones in
and there's other people in the room but we've all got our headphones in
and we're picking the type of class we want to do.
Anyway, I got there this morning and connected my headphones up
and I'm trying to press the class that I want in the –
I'm just getting the wheel of death on the screen.
Oh, okay.
Which I took it as a sign, so I went home and –
You would though.
I get that.
You go, I've summoned the motivation to get here, to get in my gym clothes.
Every part of me was like, I want to go home.
Totally.
So Bill will go home when the gym car park's full.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
I'm one of those people.
But no, I didn't go home.
And there was two other girls in the room and they were having all the same problems.
So none of the screens in the room were working.
And we were kind of like, well, what the bloody hell do we
do now? You know, can't teach myself, can't run my own class. And this woman who I've
seen, I would say she's of an experienced age, who I've seen in the room quite a few
times, because you get to know the people that go. And she walks in and she's like, what's going on?
And I was like, oh, none of the screens are working.
And she said, she goes, oh, do you guys want me to run the class?
And I went, abso-freaking-lutely, that would be great.
And she goes, well, I have been doing Pilates since 2012.
And I was like, you're perfect.
You can run the class.
Do you need to be like a licensed Pilates practitioner to take a class?
Nah.
Nah, just make it up.
It is what it is.
Anyway, so she starts running this class, right?
And anyway, us other three are all following this woman's lead.
And as the class is going on, I can see her enjoying it
and how much like she's loving taking this class
and like teaching people.
And as we're going through, God, she's absolutely roasting us.
She's good.
Like really hard class, like really difficult.
And right at the end of the class after we finished,
I love how I'm calling it a class.
It was just literally us randoms in there.
Right at the end I was like, you should go and do that.
You should go and teach Pilates classes.
You've got a gift.
Yeah, and she's like, oh, I'm not fit enough.
I'm too old.
I'm this and that.
I'm like, you are great.
Why don't you do it?
But it was just a great experience where I saw someone step into.
The breach.
This role.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This role that they hadn't planned on doing, and she was great.
That is my dream.
What?
To one day.
Be in a room full of women doing Pilates.
Well, that's one of my dreams.
It's a recurring dream.
No, it's my dream to one day have so much free time
that I can walk past a room full of women whose machines are broken
and go, oh, I might just nip in there and teach a Pilates class.
Like, did she have nothing on for the next hour?
She was like, oh, I've finished my gym workout.
Why don't I go and teach these women a whole Pilates class?
Step in there and she did look like she was retired.
Yeah, right.
So she had the time.
Yeah, true.
Why not?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was great.
