The ZM Podcast Network. ZM, Brie and Clint. Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show. G'day guys, happy Monday. Are you crawling till the end of the year? We feel you. As soon as it tips into December everyone's just like, oh I've got to make it to the end. Can you text us on 9696? Are you already on holiday? Are you lucky

enough? Oh, you mean actually on holiday? Not just like mentally on holiday? Oh, I was on holiday about three months ago mentally. No, yeah people who are already on holiday for the Christmas break. I'm wearing festive tinsel as an adornment around my neck.

It smells like BO. Oh, that's not good. It smells like someone else's stinky sweat. You can maybe... Oh, that's the tinsel I was wearing as a festive thing, but under my clothes last week. Oh, was it?

Yeah. Is this your tinsel G-bagger, is it? Yeah, I had laser and now it's there. Poo. Is that your bum sweat that I can smell? Yeah, it could be. Oh, that's a... Anyway, let's get into it, shall we?

Great show coming up for you guys. Lots to win. Let's kick it off with Tradie vs. Lady. We've got $50 cash, thanks to KFC, up for grabs. And the Tradies still have a chance. Even though we are late in the year, there are 15 more tradie versus lady games. The tradies have a chance to go ahead of the ladies. There's still enough times.

If you want to play, you can give us a call right now. 0800 DIAL ZM. Can't wait to have you play next. It's tradie versus lady. Three, two, one, let's go. I asked earlier, is there anyone that's gone on holidays? Are you on holidays right now? A few people on the text machine.

Someone said, yes, I'm on holiday right now. Lucky thing. A few people saying they started maternity leave today. Someone said, I'm on maternity leave, which my husband says counts as a holiday. I saw my sister over the weekend at my brother's wedding. She's 39 weeks pregnant.

Yeah. That's no holiday. No. And just if your husband is listening, you kind of, you kind of only want to say that once.

Like if you learn your lesson after that time, don't say it again. You shut your face is what you do. Let's go with Tradie vs. Lady. We are sitting at 103 wins to the Tradies

and 108 wins for the ladies for 2023 so far. Our lady's calling from Auckland. She is 39 years old, and all of her Christmas presents are wrapped and under the tree already. Whoa, okay. Welcome to the show, Alicia. Hello, Alicia.

Hi. Can I hire you to do my Christmas shopping, please? Absolutely. Do you love it? Are you the kind of person who loves Christmas shopping? That's why you're so organised? Well, I love buying for other people. I love giving gifts.

Oh, bless your heart. I'm like you. And are you like me, Alicia, where you hate receiving gifts? Yeah, it's kind of awkward. I agree. Okay, you're taking on our training today from Hamilton, the 35, and they once got a drunk tattoo from one of their mates. Welcome to the show.

It's Sunny. Hello, Sunny. Hello. A few questions for you. Did your friend have any credentials in the tattooing area and what tattoo did you get? No, and I got some Chinese writing. It was supposed to say little brother, but no, it didn't.

I don't even know what it is. Wait, is your friend Chinese? No. Did any of you check it? Imagine what it says. Last question about the tattoo. What part of you check it? Imagine what it says. Last question about the tattoo. What part of the body is it on? It's on my back shoulder.

Okay. Back shoulder. You get it out during the summer holidays, Sonny. Okay, Alicia, your buzzer is lady. Sonny, your buzzer is tradie. First to three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC. Here we go, guys. Question number one.

What is the official state fruit of New York? Lady. Yes, Alicia. Apple. Apple. It is, of course, an apple. For the Big Apple. The giveaway, the Big Apple is what New York City is known as.

Question number two. One to the ladies. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Alicia. Lady Gaga. It is Paparazzi from Lady Gaga. Of course it is. Two to the ladies. You need this one here, Sonny, to stay in it. Question

number three. Who is the singer that sings New Zealand's most streamed song on Spotify called... Spotify? Spotify on Spotify called Flowers. Lady. Yes, Alicia, for the win. Oh, is it Lorde? Oh, no.

You want a free guess, Sunny? Flowers. Flowers. Anything? No. We were looking for Miley Cyrus. No points there. Question number four.

Who is the current First Lady of the United States? Is her name Jill, Jan or Jess Biden? Lady. That's Alicia for the win. I'll just go with Jill. She's got it. Well done. She's absolutely nailed that.

She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. Always worth a guess when you don't know and you've picked up $50 cash thanks to KFC, Alicia. Guns and sand. Whoa, thanks. No, she hates getting gifts. Why are you doing that to her? Money is not a gift.

I can find more. Yes. Bree and Clint. You like Kylie Minogue? Love me some Kylie Minogue-u. Have you ever been fired from a job before? Oh, the jury's out about one job that I had. Did I leave or did they fire me?

I don't know. Really? Yeah. Scando, what was the job? I worked at this pub slash restaurant and I worked like every single weekend in a row and I'd been there for like maybe three years. Yeah.

And I'd put in... You drink out of the tap one time. And I'd drink out of the tap once and I wiped it down and I asked for this one weekend off and I think maybe I asked one day too late that we were meant to and they were like, nah, you've been rostered on,

you have to do it. And it was for something, you know, that I really wanted to go to when I was young and they were like, no. And then so I called in sick on that day.

Yeah, right. And then Which ironically, if you'd just called in sick but not asked for the day off, it would have been fine. But because you asked for the day off, isn't that weird how that happens? And then my boss called me and I was definitely like in the background, you could hear where I was.

And they were like, where are you? And I was like, I'm sick. I'm throwing up. There's a toilet. They're like, don't come in on Monday. And I was like, I quit. Oh, so the jury's out. You definitely got fired. No, I quit. No, I quit. No, I quit. Monday. And I was like, I quit. Oh, so the jury's out. You definitely got fired.

No, I quit. No, I quit. No, I quit. You're going to fire me. I quit. No, I definitely quit. Well, the reason I ask about Kylie Minogue is she has just spoken on stage about- No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Have you been fired? I don't think so. Oh, boring. No, I don't think so. I'm too much of a goody two-shoes. Yeah. So I don't believe so. Kylie Minogue says she got fired from the first job that she had

and she said it's her only real job that she ever had as well. Where did she work at? A fish and chip shop or something? A video store around the corner from her house. She gave a customer the wrong change. She gave them 20 bucks too much in change, which in the 80s was probably quite a lot of money. Anyway, they bought the money back

which just like you, ironically, is the only reason that the boss found out that she gave them too much change because the person bought it back. Wait, she got fired because she accidentally gave them too much change? Yeah, and they let her go. Her bosses sound like right a-holes.

But, ironically, it's the best thing that ever happened to her because then she would have gone, oh, maybe I'll go and audition for this show called Neighbours. That sounds kind of interesting. Yeah, and what's happening to video stores these days? Exactly right. She won in the end.

She did. So, yeah, it's not a bad thing to get fired. You've been fired. Kylie Minogue's been fired. No, I may have got fired. You may have been fired. I hated that job anyway. Kylie Minogue definitely got fired.

I haven't been fired. Claudia, have you been fired from a job before? Nah, I'm like you. I'm a. I hated that job anyway. Kylie Minogue definitely got fired. I haven't been fired. Claudia, have you been fired from a job before? Nah, I'm like you. I'm a goody two-shoes. You've had a few redundancies, eh? Yeah, that doesn't count, though. Depends who you ask. Yeah, yeah.

We want to ask this afternoon, have you been fired? Why weren't you going to ask Ella? Oh, this is her first job. She's still on work experience. Yeah. Have you had another job other than here? In all seriousness? Yeah, like part-time jobs.

Yeah, where have you worked before? T2. Oh, yeah, you worked in the tea shop. Yes, can you get that job back? Because I'd love to get a discount. Me and you both, Ben. That was way better. We won answers afternoon.

Ruthless. I'm joking. What job did you get fired from and why? What's the reason that you got fired? Is it like super scandalous? Can I just say I'm going to be very supportive. I'm sure there's really good reasons. Yeah.

Oh, you were on your side this afternoon. Yeah. Absolutely. Mostly. Yeah. Largely. No, I will be fully on people's side. Okay.

If you say that you didn't steal stuff from the stationary cupboard, I'm going to believe you. 0800 DARS at M or you can text it to 9696. We want to know, same space this afternoon, why did you get fired? What was the job

and what did they fire you for? Bree and Clint. She kept spinning it around, I heard. They're like, get down. Stop doing that and do some work.

She said, I've got no way of getting to this job. They said, what about the locomotion? She said, there's a nice... Oh, shit, I've got a great idea. No, it's because she gave a customer too much change at the video store. Can I just say I think that's really unfair? Yeah. Like, if you make a

genuine mistake, you should not be fired over that. No. There's another one. We're about to talk to someone, I believe, later that a similar thing happened and they got fired. The jet ski one? No, I think it's the supermarket one. Oh, the supermarket one as well? Yeah, can we talk to them? This is turning into

unjustified firings. Yeah. We wanted to know what job you got fired from and what the reason was. And Hannah, you've called up. Hi, Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Hello. What did you do and what did you get fired for, mate? So I was 16, first job, working in a supermarket,

and someone came in with a voucher, and I put through $100 instead of $10. And they fired you for that mistake, Hannah. I've been mucking up a little bit as well. Okay, so there's a bit more background. It wasn't like it was the first mistake. Is that what you're saying? I sucked at doing the telly at the end of the day

and I was constantly getting my numbers wrong. Brie really wants to go into bat for you here. She wants to take your employer to the employment tribunal, but actually Hannah's like, nah, that was crap. I still believe they should have given you more support, maybe a bit more training, Hannah. Or were you a lost cause? Oh, I was a lost cause. Yeah, right.

What do you do now? I do business administration. Business administration. Nothing to do with? I do business administration. Business administration. So nothing to do with money. Yeah, right. You wouldn't have been a good accountant, Hannah. Oh, no, it would have been terrible. Terrible.

Okay, thanks, Hannah. We appreciate it. Let's go to Karen on our $800. Hi, Karen. Hi, Karen. Hi, my friends. How are you guys? We're good.

Did you get fired, babes? I can't believe I'm going on air to say this, but yes, I did. What did you do, Karen? I know you've done a few things in your past, but what have you done to get fired? So I was working at a petrol station and I was playing around with the promotional card and they thought I was putting it on for me

to get the rewards and stuff. So they fired me for that. But what they didn't fire me for was putting petrol in a diesel car. Yeah. And dare I say, the same guy came back a week later and I accidentally put the wrong oil in his jet ski.

Karen. Yeah, I feel like that job wasn't for you. The same guy. The same guy. That was the same guy. He would have thought you were targeting him. He would have thought you were out to get him specifically, Karen. Was this an ex of yours, Karen, was it?

Oh, I wish. That's what I'm thinking. specifically, Karen. Was this an ex of yours, Karen, was it? Oh, I wish. That's what I'm thinking. Oh, no. But you didn't get fired for either of those two things. You got fired for dicking around with the promo cards. Oh, well, what are you doing for a job now, Karen? I work as an 800 WhatsApp coordinator.

Oh, yeah? What's 800 WhatsApp? 800 WhatsApp. It's a free nationwide service for 5 to 19-year-olds. They can just call in 0800 WHAT'S UP or go to our website and live chat. That's pretty awesome. And they call up and whatever their problem is, you go, it's not too bad. One time I put diesel in this guy's petrol car and then I blew up his jet ski. Exactly.

No problem. It's too big or too small. Thanks, Karen. Thanks, Karen. I'll talk his jet ski. Exactly. No problem. I think I got too small. Thanks, Karen. Thanks, Karen. I'll talk to you later, mate. You know that was our friend Karen. Oh, is that our Karen? Yeah.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. Now it makes sense. Yeah. Why does it make sense? Do you think she would be likely to put petrol in a diesel car? Yeah, 100%. Yeah.

Yeah. You know when you know someone, you're like, oh, yeah, I know you'd do that. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. We talked about it last week, and over the weekend it happened, Dean.

The child star who finally got their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yes, it feels like it's a little delayed, but Macaulay Culkin at 43 years old has finally gotten his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And it was, you know, for those who don't know, it costs about $100,000. You get offered the star.

You have to have all of these different accolades. They offer you the star. You have to then pay for the star. It's about $75,000 to $100,000. And then you also pay a maintenance fee. Sorry to bore you with the housekeeping of the star. It's about 75 to 100 grand. And then you also pay a maintenance fee. Sorry to bore you with the housekeeping of the star. It's interesting, Dean. It's interesting. You live in Hollywood, so you hear it all the time. We don't. I find it really interesting. He got presented his star

by someone pretty special, though, Dean. So special. Catherine O'Hara. She is, of course, the mum in the Home Alone films. She's the one that went Kevin! She presented him Home Alone films. She's the one that went, Kevin! She presented him with the star. She has shot to fame again as one of the stars of the Schitt's Creek series and just reignited her career. Here's a little bit of Catherine O'Hara, her mum from Home Alone, speaking at the presentation. You made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do.

It really was as if we had ambushed the home of this real little boy named Kevin to make a movie and he just went along with it for the fun of it. From what I see, you have brought that sense of sweet yet twisted yet totally relatable sense of humor to everything that you have chosen to do since Home Alone. Congratulations, you so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and thank you for including me, your fake mum, who left you home alone not once but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I'm so proud of you. It's very sweet.

It's very nice. He's so cute. And that is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. Zed and Bree and Clint. That's Dua Lipa and Houdini. She dropped an extended version of that on Friday Did she?

Yeah, it's like five and a half, six minutes long Because it's a Tame Impala track And because all the Tame Impala tracks are like Quite long and interesting Way too long for radio Yeah, it's good It's a good different version of it If you love that Dua Lipa song

Well, that song's a vibe, so I'd be keen. Did you have the world's shortest OE? That's what we're trying to find this afternoon. You went and you planned to stay

for a bit, but all of a sudden you had to come back. Joe's here on 0800Diles. Hi, Joe. G'day, Joe. Hi. How are ya?

Good, thanks. Joe, why was your OE so short and how short was it? This one still hurts a little bit, to be honest, to talk about it. Me and my friend had a trip planned to South Africa for quite a while. Yeah. And we got to the airport and we were with G Adventures on a safari

and then we got a notification that that got cancelled. Oh, no. I mentioned that it was 2019, so I don't know if you heard, but we had a pandemic. I kind of recall that. Yeah, I kind of recall the pandemic. And then we had a 28-hour flight. We took the long way to save a bit of money. And then we actually landed that night when the president gave his address

or whoever rules their country gave the address to the country saying, we're shutting it down, there's no travel or anything. Oh, my God. Yeah, we had about 30 hours on the ground and then we had a 28-hour flight home. Jesus, Joe. You basically had a 30-hour OE. But, I mean, at least you got home.

You had to get home. How long were you meant to go for? How long was the trip planned for? Yeah, it least you got home. You had to get home. How long were you meant to go for? How long was the trip planned for? Yeah, it was for a month. So we had it all planned out from a safari to the scenic road along the coast and everything. But we actually had $500 New Zealand dollars each in rent. And we didn't want to convert it back. So we literally just spent that whole lot of cash in one day just on food.

That sounds pretty fun. Yeah, good on you. Oh, wow. Okay, that is short. That sucks. We're talking about the world's shortest OE. Someone texted and said, 48 hours. I'm one of those people who didn't know I was pregnant until I was eight months in.

Start of an OE and oops, I had to get home fast, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fly. You're kidding me. Imagine finding out that you were eight months pregnant at the start of your OE and oops, I had to get home fast, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fly. You're kidding me. Imagine finding out that you were eight months pregnant at the start of your OE. That, I mean, that puts a little bit of a dampener on it, doesn't it? You're like, I promise you'll go home. Then you've got a backpack and then you've got the front pack. Front pack.

You're backpacking and you're front packing around you. And then you've got to get home. Kaylee's here on 0800 dial ZM. Hi, Kaylee. Hi, Kaylee. Hi, Kayleigh. Hi. Tell us, mate, how short-lived was your OE? Oh, it wasn't mine.

It was my friend who was with me. Okay. So we were coming from Jersey, and we were flying over here, and we flew to Australia, got there, we went to bed. The first night she woke up, had a poo, cried because she was pooing in the night time. Right. It's disorientating when you're pooing off schedule. Well, she was just not on schedule at all.

She couldn't handle it. So she flew home and went home two days later. You're joking me, Kayleigh. I'm not kidding. A poo threw her off so much that she goes, I can't deal with this. No. So I stayed for nine months in Australia and then came over here and she went home and I haven't seen her since.

Her body clock hadn't had time to adjust yet. Her body clock was still on UK time. Of course she's going to be pooing at night. She's obviously had a very good regime for a long time because it threw her out and she was very upset. Can you imagine if her friend wakes you up in tears in the middle of the night and you're like, what's wrong? And she's like, I've just done a poo. She sounds very privileged, Kayleigh, if you ask me.

Like to be so privileged that you're that regular that one time. Yeah. You've heard of pretty privilege. This is poo privilege. That's poo privilege, baby. That's right. Well, good on you for sticking it out. Kayleigh, did you have

the best time ever? Oh, thanks. Yeah, it's been really good. And can I just say hi to Bree because I met her at Friday's Live and I'm the person that put her picture

up on the thing. I don't know if she'll remember me. She'll be like, what's up? Yes, I do remember you, Kayleigh, because you have that adorable accent.

Oh, I did see us up on the big screen. Oh, nice to talk to you again. Thanks, Kayleigh. Poo privilege. Thanks, Kayleigh. We're talking about the world's shortest OE. Someone texted and said a guy from my school didn't make it out of Heathrow Airport. He landed, freaked

out, got back on another flight and came home. Heathrow is pretty scary. Yeah, but you're meant to leave Heathrow. Yeah, I know, but it's terrifying. It's overwhelming. Don't stay there then. Go into London. Yeah, overwhelm. Got him good. Well, there you to get out of it. Don't stay there then. Go into London. Yeah, overwhelmed. Got him good.

Well, there you go. Let's play Guess the Noise. It's our reimagined version of Guess the Voice where we've changed out the voices for noises. So imaginative. Yeah. Aren't we so imaginative? Here to play with us and to win themselves some free KFC is Alison.

So, Bree and Clint, you guys are going first. When it's your turn, I need you to buzz in with your name, and the first team to three me what they are. Okay. So, Bree and Clint, you guys are going first. When it's your turn, I need you to buzz in with your name and the first team to three points will take home the win. We got this, Amanda. It's me and you. It's like a squid game. We're teamed up. We're going to go through to the final together. When they team up in marbles, you have to

get rid of your teammate. You have to kill off your teammate. Well, it's not marbles. It's guess the noise. So, we're good to go. Alright. Let's do it, Claude. Here's the first one. Good luck. Wow. Brie.

Brie. That's Owen Wilson. It is. Wow. Wow. Wow. Iconic. There's a guy on TikTok who does a really, really good Owen Wilson impersonation, but

he does Owen Wilson doing other characters. So he'll be him doing Owen Wilson doing Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars. That's good. It's very good. Luke, I am your father. Wow. Yeah, something like that. Over to Alison and Amanda.

Here you go. Amanda. Amanda. A doorbell? Indeed, it is. Oh my God, Claudia. I'm sorry, I haven't said my name.

Sorry. A doorbell? Yeah. I thought you had to be like, that's the notification noise for the ring doorbell system. It's that straightforward. Claudia did say any facets of life, but yeah, no, that was a good one. Well done, Amanda. I would have overthought that. Well's that straightforward. You can just... Claudia did say any facets of life, but yeah, no, that was a good one.

Well done, Amanda. I would have overthought that. Well done, Amanda. One all. Thank you. I want more information from you guys, though.

Exactly right. We want a piece at the moment, so bring, Clint, this one's for you guys. Great. Oh, that was very close. I feel like it was Bree.

Oh, Clint's frowning at me. Clint? No, I was wrong last time. I'm staying out of it. You're the chief adjudicator. Oh, Clint. I'll give it to Clint. It's only the symbol of my rugby team, but that's fine.

You can give it to Bree. Is it? You go. You go. It's a cowbell. After you, Clint. Yes, it is. You can give it to Brie. Is it? You go. You go. It's a cowbell. Yes, it is. What colour was it?

The wedding march. I just made my brother's wedding. I put that in there for you. To be honest, they did not use that for her song. They used pitbull fireball. Yeah, it was quite emotional, actually. Hey, Amanda, well done. That was all you.

You've scored 50 KFC chicken dollars. Oh, cool. Thank you. Nice work, Amanda. And that's just the noise. We were just talking about how the Eris tour is coming out on streaming on the 13th of December. Do we know where that's going to be streamed?

I'm not going to say. The Errors Tour. Can we just stream it or do you have to like pay for it and you get like 48 hours to watch it and then? You might have to pay for it. Hold on. It says here on the Herald. We'll be available to stream this December.

Oh, that's funny. December 13, of course. Yeah, her her birthday right? Yeah It doesn't say on here We'll figure it out Because my children are very upset Because the reputation tour is being taken off Netflix

On December 30 They can watch Miss Americana That's a documentary though Yeah it's still got songs and stuff in it They want the concert. Oh. They're not interested in the drama, therefore. They're like, play the hits.

She's a great role model. They should watch the doco. You know when someone invents something and you're like, do we need that thing to be invented? But then also you're like, oh, maybe that could be good. This is one of those things. Okay, what is it? And then we'll decide.

Doritos, the chip people, have invented a crunch cancellation software that removes the sound of chewing chips from Zoom calls or voice chats or anything that uses headphones and a microphone, like gaming. Is this AI? Yeah, it'll be an AI thing, like a filter that they put over it. I need to give this to a couple of my Fortnite squad members. They eat and chew when we're playing Fortnite, and it's very distracting.

That's what they say it's for. They said that they surveyed a whole bunch of people and they said it was really distracting listening to people chew. It's a gimmick, come on. It's a gimmick from them. I think so. Because do people really find it that? Yes, it's that annoying.

Is it? No, I don't want to be a part of this. Is it that annoying to listen to someone chewing chips when you're talking to them? Is it really that annoying? I don't know. Ask your wife. How does she feel about it? She doesn't like any of the noises that I make, so I don't trust her opinion.

She doesn't like the sound of me breathing. You have to chew like loud. Okay. You keep talking and I'll do the chewing. This is giving me the ick, guys. If it helps, these are sweet Thai chilli, if I'm helping to paint the picture, by the way. Anything?

Yeah, I mean, it's not my favourite, but I'm not one of those people that has that. It's a real like... The chewing phobia. Chewing phobia, where they actually can't stand the noise of someone else chewing. Oh, really? Yeah. Right. It's a real like... The chewing phobia. Chewing phobia where they actually can't stand the noise of someone else chewing. Oh, really? Yeah.

Right. It's a real thing. Yeah. People get real irritated by it. Oh, man. We have been told on our show... They'll hate this then, won't they? We have been told on our show quite a few times before that it is very annoying listening

to us eat. Yeah. Hence why I'm staying out of it and letting you chow down on those chips. Yeah, right. You really left me out of my own here, haven't you? Doritos said the alternative was they would make a less crunchy chip. No. And people were like, no, that's not what we want.

That's not what we want. Someone said they just changed stations. Really? Yeah. You're losing, we're losing listeners here. I'll just finish this bag. No, don't, no, you don't have to eat anymore. I'll finish the bag and then we'll, then we'll go. No, you don't have to eat anymore. I'll finish the bag and then we'll... You sure you don't want any of this? I'm positive.

Bree and Clint. I want to talk about this study that has found some amazing results after they were testing different things that they reckon age people. So we're talking smoking, we're talking drinking. We're talking drinking.

We're talking obesity. Stress. Stress. All those type of things that we already know ages you. Yes. All that stuff. Kids. There was one thing that they found ages you more than all of those things.

Not together, but all of those things. What do you guys think, producers? Is there anything that you can think of where you would think it ages you every year more than smoking, obesity, drinking? Kids. I was thinking sun. Like not wearing your sunscreen. Oh, yeah, the sun definitely ages you.

Or not getting enough sleep. Ages you appearance-wise or ages you like, not getting enough sleep. Ages you appearance wise or ages you like, you know, like takes years off your life. It says that it has worse effects on your biological age. Okay, so it affects your lifespan. So not saying amazeballs.

Not saying amazeballs. Is it chewing on the radio? I feel like I just took years off my usable life there. Ella thinks she's got it. What about toothpaste? What? Toothpaste? Everyone uses it. Maybe it could be it. I like the way your brain works. You're throwing out a weird one.

You're throwing it out there. Ella's going for toothpaste. A landmark study. You stop using it and find out what happens. I don't want to. Please don't come near me if you stop using toothpaste. I'm not going to stop using it. A landmark study out of the University of Adelaide in Australia and the University of Essex has found that living in a rental property accelerates the biological ageing process by more than two weeks

every single year. What? How? So the research found that renting had worse effects on biological age than being unemployed, obesity, a former smoker. Oh, sorry, a former smoker. I missed that part out. Maybe not being a current smoker.

I was going to say. But a former smoker. And yeah, about two weeks every year it ages you. Wow. Isn't that wild? Is it because of the stress of not knowing where you're going to live next? Or is it the mould in your lungs? That has a lot to do with it.

So they say that renting actually affects your, yeah, like the stress levels that you have because if you've got a lease date, like when you know your lease is up and the not knowing where you're going next and just the stress that comes with renting. Oh, and flatmates coming and going, like having to find flatmates as well could be stressful. If you've got a good set up though,

like a good rental with a good landlord, I reckon it could take a lot of stress out of your life. Like if you don't have to worry about the rates and the repairs, like if the roof starts leaking, you just call the landlord and go, hey, my roof's leaking. That is such a good point. Like if you do have a good landlord. And they gave you like a five-year lease or something like that.

You don't have the stress of being a homeowner, which there is, you know, stresses that come with that. Yeah, yeah. That's so true. I didn't even think about that. But, yeah, I think it just is the average because they, I think, have asked a lot of people and have done all these testing and they said, yeah. What if you do a lot of smoking and drinking in your rental?

What does that do to you? Yeah, it's not going to be good. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go. Birthday banger. Here we go. Birthday banger. You call us, you tell us your birthday.

Bree and Clint, ZM. from Tayo Cruz on this show. Something else we love or I love is a wedding that's not my own because they're always a good time, hopefully most of the time. Yeah. But they're also just a really special day and you always forget until you're there at a wedding like how special it is. Yeah. And over the weekend I flew back to Aussie

to attend my brother's wedding, my younger brother Aidan's wedding. He married the love of his life, Kim, on Saturday under a beautiful tree. There was fairy lights. And it was, I mean, I am always emotional because I'm just an emotional person, but I was extra emotional on Saturday because it was my brother who means the absolute world to me.

And to see him, my younger brother, standing up there, his vows that he read out and that he had written himself were some of the, I think, the most beautiful vows I've ever heard. And I know how hard it is for him. He's very much an introvert and he was shaking and he was emotional but it was just beautiful and I was just so proud of him, like for how much he put himself outside his comfort zone for her because she loves that stuff.

Right. And he did it all for her and I knew that. Yeah. And it was such a magical day and just to be with family and that we get to do that again. I was just like, this is awesome. I did have to MC, which meant I couldn't drink as much as what I could. Yeah, how did you go with that?

Because I was saying just lean into it. Just stay as drunk as the crowd. No, no, no, no. No? Not at my brother's wedding. I wanted to do a really good job for them. Yeah. And me being a school...

So what time did you start drinking? Probably like 7.38 maybe. Oh, not too bad. Yeah. Yeah. I was fine. Okay. I think...

Not that you have to drink to have a good time, kids. Yeah. No, you do. No, I'm kidding. You don't. But I had just had the best time, did my emceeing stuff and it was time for the first dance and there was this huge, massive tree and they had all these like fairy lights

that were hanging from it. And I didn't really know much about the preparation that had gone into that first dance. I kind of was like, oh, it's the first dance time. And her brother, Kim's brother, Kevin, he is a singer. So he was up on the mic and he was singing their first dance song, which made it even more special. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, yeah.

And they'd taken, I think, because I asked them afterwards and they took like four or five dancing lessons. That's nice. And they'd choreographed their first dance, which I didn't know that at the time. Can your brother dance? My brother, he's got rhythm, definitely got rhythm. Yeah.

And he's just a, I don't know, it was so cute and I really liked their first dance song choice, which I would never have thought about picking this for, you know, a first dance song. Yeah. But it just fits so well. I've got a little clip here because I took a video of them during their first dance. Listen to the song that they chose as their first dance song. I turn off and get emotional again.

Lion King. Yeah, I'm getting emotional thinking about it. Lion King? Lion King. Yeah. When Nala and Simba finally end up together. Yeah. It's just so beautiful and I'm so proud of him.

But I really loved the song and I think the song choice is everything. And I thought it'd be an interesting one to ask people this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, have you been to a wedding or maybe it was your wedding, but the song choice for the first dance was quite unusual. Yeah. It wasn't like your Ed Sheeran or your Bruno Mars. All the go-tos.

All the go-tos. John Legend is a big one. Elvis would probably be in there. Yeah. All the go-to kind of songs. Or Elvis Can't Help Falling in Love. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that was my dad and mum's wedding song.

Great choice. Yeah, which is a great, fantastic song. But did you have your first dance to Daft Punk, Get Lucky? Yeah. Or maybe it was I Like Big Butts and Mix A Lot. Did you and your beautiful bride get down to Darude Sandstorm for your first dance? Yeah. Probably not.

But do you have a more interesting like different sort of song that you guys chose for the first dance? We'd love to hear about it. It's coming into wedding season. Maybe you'll inspire somebody to have that as their first dance song. We'd love to hear about it. It's coming into wedding season. Maybe you'll inspire somebody to have that as their first dance song. I'd like to hear the reason why as well, like the reason behind the choice of that song, which is always so interesting to me.

But 0800DIALS at M or you can text us on 9696. Did you attend a wedding? Maybe it was yours where they had an unusual or an outside-of-the-box first dance song. Bree and Clint. Over the weekend, I was very lucky to go back home to Aussie to be at my brother's wedding, which was, I was a mess all day. I was crying during the vows.

I was crying during the speeches. I was crying constantly just because I was so happy for him and to see him marrying someone he truly, truly loves. And to be home with your family. Oh, it's just an emotional day, a wedding. It really is but I was crying also when they had their first dance to this song. Can you feel the love? when they had their first dance to this song. A Lion King.

Finally, Aiden, my brother Simba, found his Nala in Kim. And he looks like that adolescent Simba too, you know? He did. Real kind of muscular. He shaved his beard quite low as well. And then he, oh, it was so cute. In one part of the song, they did this big lift where my brother lifted her up like a princess lift.

Really? Oh, it was so cute. Like Rafiki lifts Simba up on Bright Rock. Legit. Like, na, to me, na. They should have done that song. So we want to know, do you have a creative song that you used for your first dance at the wedding?

Kerry's here. Hi, Kerry. Hi, Kerry. Hey, long time listener, first time caller. Uh-oh. Alright, let's do it. Here we go. Better late than never, Kerry. That's what we like to say. Welcome on board, mate. Great to have you on the Brie and Clint show.

Thank you. What was your first dance song, Kiri? It was Burning Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. Yeah. Did you guys serve a hot curry

for the mains? We did it all. We just both loved Johnny Cash music and we actually wanted the song, the line for our first song and the DJ played Burning Ring Fire instead. Oh, no. Yeah, no, he did.

Oh, you're kidding me. That is reprehensible that the DJ gets your first dance wrong. Still a good song, though. Yeah, still a great song. Still a great song, but kind of a different meaning. Yeah, totally.

Come at what you will, I say. But Kerry, great story though to tell the grandkids. Oh, totally. Love it. Yeah, thanks. Okay, thanks Kerry. We appreciate it. Let's go to Lisa on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Lisa. Hi, Lisa. Hey. How are you both? Good, thank you, Lisa. What was the

bit of unusual first dance song at the wedding? Well, it was Are You Gonna Be My Girl. Banger! Can't go wrong. What an absolute tune. But different in that it's not like a romantic-y, waltzy, slow song. Did you guys do like rock and roll dancing to it or something like that? Well, something like that with kids and very minimal guests.

It was a secret wedding, so there were only six guests. There were ten of us in total there. Yeah. But that song, we'd been together for 14 years, so he already got me anyway, But Are You Gonna Be My Girl He used to play it to me before we got together And I didn't click that he was playing this song to me To ask me out

Oh, cute So that's why it was our song That's so nice And it had meaning to you guys That's the perfect first dance song, man I love that Someone's texted and they said Our first dance was Savage Garden,

Truly, Madly, Deeply. What a shit. I love this song. They said, I'm not sure if that's a cliche song or not. I don't care. Fun fact. Yeah. First song we ever did for Friday Oaky.

It was not. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it was this song. Claudia, do not look it up. Do not. No, you don't need to look it up. Do not look it up. We've come a long way as singers since then. That's such a good song. Sauvage Garden.

We're going to text from someone who had Fatboy Slim as their first dance for their wedding. Yeah! Do we have any Hootie and the Blowfish in the system? Absolutely. Hold my hand, Hootie and the Blowfish. They said that my son and his ex,

ex's wedding was awesome. Oh, the wedding didn't last I love an unusual first dance song this is a great choice god I love me some Hootie and the Blowfish it's Darius Rucker that's the main singer

of Hootie jeez I love some Hootie And the Blowfish Who is the guy who sings the version Of Wagon Wheel that most people like Yes Play another Hootie And the Blowfish song

People are probably thinking right now With pleasure Oh come on Hey producer Claude can you please look into pleasure. Oh, come on! Hey, Producer Claude, can you please look into how much Hootie and the Blowfish cost to hire to do

a 20-minute set? I say us as the Bree and Clint show. I say we get Hootie and the Blowfish over to do a concert. Our pre-COVID plan was we were going to bring Pitbull over to New Zealand and get him to do a show, and we're going to have a VIP section called the Pitbull Pit.

Yeah. And you had to shave your head to get into the Pitbull Pit. Do we need to do a Hootie and the Blowfish show? Yeah, and we dress everyone in those Zorb balls so they look like Blowfish. Oh, here we go. And we want to be with you. Bree and Clint.

Bree and Clint. Christmas is very fast approaching. Have you got a significant other? Have you already got their present? Are you organised? Are you? Have you? Do you?

No. And yes. Have you? No, I said do you. You've got a significant other? Yes. Have you got your presents you? No. And yes. Have you? No, I said do you. Oh. You've got a significant other? Yes. Have you got your presents organised?

No. You're a late present buyer though, aren't you? Yeah, I feel like I do well under pressure. I definitely don't. I read this study that they've done, this report, this poll, where they've asked a bunch of people how much money they're spending on their partner at Christmas. So the results are in and we can see where we stack up in terms of the average from these

2,000 participants. Should we say how much we're planning on spending before we find out the number? What do you reckon? Oh, I feel like, I feel like... Because we all have a partner. Everybody in this team has a partner. Yeah, go on. How much do you usually spend on your partner for Christmas?

Why don't we start with Claudia? Claudia, how much are you spending on your partner? I don't have a budget budget, but I would probably cap out at like $100. Yeah. $100 on a partner for Christmas. Yeah. Ella, what are you getting your boyfriend for Christmas? I usually say $80, but I always go over and spend too much.

Yeah. Yeah. $150. Oh, it's bad. It's bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You like to get good presents, though. I do.

I'm such a gift giver. You go a bit berserk. Yeah. Yeah, go over the top. What about you, Clint? We're not really doing presents. What? Fun.

Boring. We'd like to go out for a Christmas date instead We're not really doing presents. What? Fun. Boring. We'd like to go out for like a Christmas date instead and do something like that. And you go hard? What? Do you go hard? What? What?

That's not appropriate. That is not appropriate. None of your business. It depends how good the date is. I've been on the drinks. I'm like, ew, ew. Sorry, ew. We'd like to go somewhere nice for like a Christmas date.

And how much would be spent on that? On the date? Yeah. Who's paying for it, though? Oh, it comes out of the joint account. Let it. So it's not really a present then. Don't give to each other.

Yeah, right. You know, just do something nice. Okay, but how much is spent on the date? Oh. Just in terms of... Like a couple of hundred bucks? Okay, so a couple of hundred bucks. This year, my partner and I

Decided we'd buy a couch together So Oh you win So we spent a little bit on the couch Is that your Christmas present? That's our Christmas present to each other That sucks the Christmas present Because it doesn't arrive for 16 weeks

But Mine and my partner's birthday Is also straight after Christmas We both have a A birthday straight after Christmas. We both have a birthday straight after Christmas. And I'm buying little things, like little things as well, little bits and pieces. But normally I'd probably spend probably $200 on my partner for Christmas, depending on where I am financially at the time.

But I love, love buying gifts for people, so I always go a bit over the top. Let's get into the stats from the 2,000 participants. So the first statistic that they found was that women tend to spend less on their significant other, with the average being, according to this study, about $250 per partner. Because of the gender pay gap, eh? Well, you said it. I'd love to buy you more, but I earn 17% less than you.

Yeah, we're already working for free by this point in the year. The lads, if you're wondering if you're spending enough on your partner, according to this study, the average was around a whopping $350 on their partners. Yeah. Results claimed that younger people are less likely to fork out for their companion, which makes sense. Makes sense. Got less money. Got less money.

Probably not as serious relationships sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So according to this, 18 to 24-year-olds on average will spend around $200 on their significant other. Yeah. Whereas those aged between 35 and 44, the group to spend around $330 on their partner. I need to spend some money. I need to...

Get this, though. There's 2% of this group that was asked, only 2% of all age groups, all genders, that will spend around $800 on their partner each Christmas. $800 for Christmas? I'm trying to get the details of who those people are so I can send them a message. That's people who messed up during the year.

That's part Merry Christmas and part sorry, babe. Why does it have to be that they messed up? Maybe that they just love... No, they're a shitbag. Yeah, no, they messed up. They're a shitbag who's buying a Gucci bag to say sorry for being such a shitbag. I've noticed on Netflix that, you know when they have like most recently played

or the top 10, they have all those different categories that come up at the top. The one sitting right at the top of Netflix now, all the Christmas movies that are on Netflix. Do you believe the Netflix top 10 or do you think it's like engineered by Netflix to tell you what they want you to watch?

You know, I've always wondered that because they never released the data. So they could be like, the biggest movie is this one that we produced. And all the other ones are also Netflix ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's hard to tell. It's hard to tell. But a lot of the time there is good stuff in that top ten, I find.

But, yeah, they're all Christmas movies. They've put it right at the top. Everyone's getting into watching Christmas movies. We have a tradition in my relationship, in my household, where we will try and watch 25 Christmas movies before Christmas Day. Oh, you need to get started. Yeah. Well, I figure on some, like on the weekend, we watch more than one.

Oh, okay. Yeah. God, I would never watch two movies in one day, ever. Oh, mate, you've got to do it. Live a little. It's like how we found out earlier this year that I'd never watch a movie on a weeknight. It's just something in me.

Yeah, see, that's still like my... This is not an I have kids thing. This is just... A you thing. God, I would never in my life watch two movies in one day. Hence why you've never seen Miss Congeniality or... Any movies. Any movies, pretty much.

Probably a good reason for that. There's a study that's been done, which has essentially asked a bunch of participants to select what is their most festive favourites that they re-watch every year in terms of Christmas movies. I'm going to take a guess from each of you, the producers and you, Clint. What do you think, according to this poll,

is the most re-watched Christmas movie ever? Shock and Love, actually. No, I'm Shock and Love, actually. No, I'm Shock and Love, actually. You're too slow. You're too slow. I'll say The Grinch. Okay.

Elle is going The Grinch. She took the other good one. Claudia, what have you got? I can't think of a single movie. Just take your time. Franklin hasn't said it yet. Love Actually. No, I said Love Actually.

No, you shot going to be. Come on, you can think of another one. There's other great Christmas movies. Valentine's Day. It's not a Christmas movie. It's a New Year's movie. Die Hard. Die Hard?

Die Hard. Okay, everyone's locked in their films for For the most re-watch Christmas movies. Oh, I should have said Home Alone. In the past 30 years, it's Home Alone. Damn it, I thought of that in my brain. Because I kind of said it. No. 34% of people said they re-watch Home Alone every year.

What? Followed closely by the Christmas film A Christmas Story, 33%. A Charlie Brown Christmas rounded out the top three. What? I'm sorry, but we need more. 32%. We need more Christmas movies. Then there was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Oh, yeah. And then what I am going to say is one of my all-time favourite Christmas movies, Elf. Yeah. I re-watch that every year. It's fantastic. And we're getting Elf 2. It's coming. Yes. Elf 2's on the way.

Christmas Vacation was after that. It's a Wonderful Life and The Santa Clause. Oh my God, so underrated. Tim Allen? If you haven't watched that movie, yes, with Tim Allen and The Santa Clause. Also, Christmas with the Cranks, also great. Love Actually not in the top 10. Weird. Yeah, Die Hard.

Maybe Americans don't get Love Actually. It's quite British, isn't it? Yeah. You don't need to get it. It's such a fantastic Christmas movie. We only like Keira Knightley when she's a pirate. Yeah, we don't understand her being this normal everyday bride. Die Hard closed out the top ten.

So there you go. Oh, I made the list, guys. You made the list. Yeah, well done, Claudia. Z-Dame's Brand Clint. On Insta. Facebook. Die Hard closed out the top ten So there you go I made the list guys You made the list Well done Claudia
