I'm Brinclin
There's no place I'd rather be
Good afternoon, New Zealand
It is just Bree this afternoon
and, of course, my beautiful, delightful producers, Claudia and Ella.
Wow.
Yeah, good day, mate.
There they are.
My support team.
Clinton away today, but he will be back tomorrow for a Friday.
Friday, okay, will be back.
Yeah, he slipped in.
He did sleep in.
He's had a big sleep in.
You've missed the show.
You've slept in way too far.
Very big sleep in.
Hey, can we take a moment of silence, please?
Oh, yes.
For anyone caught in traffic going,
or leaving IKEA.
Okay.
We're thinking of you.
We are thinking of you guys.
Also, though, why?
Why would you go to IKEA on the first day?
Use your head.
I'm going to wait at least a few months.
Months is probably the right decision.
That is smart.
It's overwhelming.
I wouldn't be able to do it today.
And look, take it from me.
An Aussie, who we had IKEA,
we've had it for years.
I've been there a bunch of times.
It's all right.
Oh, don't say that.
I am very excited for it.
I feel for the people that, like, it's just their route to work
and they're not even going to go here.
See, that sucks.
There was signs up on the highway saying, expect delays.
It was like a big concert was happening or something.
From Sweden.
We don't have a lot, okay?
We just some meatballs.
Yeah, I get it from Sweden.
The meatballs are good.
I will give that recommendation.
Anyway, big show for you this afternoon.
We've got, what's the plot?
It's back to 50 bucks, guys.
50 bucks, but hey, 50.
bucks this time of year, better than no bucks.
Exactly right. You know? That'll get at least
one person a gift. Exactly. Speaking of
50 bucks, we've got that up for grabs right now as well
with Trady versus Lady. The Trady's
on 102, the ladies on 97, they really need
to lift at this point in the year, or it could get away from them.
Make or break at the moment? Make or break for the ladies.
Play Z-Eames, Bree and Clend.
Right now we're playing Trady versus Lady.
It's Trady versus.
Ladies
All right, let's get to it
The Trades and the Ladies
The Trades in front for the year
They're on 102 wins
The ladies need it bad today
They're on 97
Let's meet our lady
Who potentially could get them a win
She's from Wellington
She's 34 and her Spotify rap
Today said she was 70 years old
Please welcome to the show Emily
Hi Em! Hey if it makes you feel
better. Mine said I was 65, so we'd be friends.
We're in a close age bracket in our wrist time.
Exactly. I'll get you new tennis balls for your walker for Christmas, Emily.
Oh, beauty.
Okay, Emily, let's see who you'll be taken on this afternoon.
Now, Trady, he's from Dargaville, he's 20, and he played last week, and he got absolutely
smoked. Please welcome back to the show. Cooper.
How are you?
Hello, Coop. Did you get one right last week?
No, I've got none.
So, hey, you know, you've set the bar low, you're aiming for one,
and then anything else is a bonus, Cooper.
Yep, exactly.
All right, guys, here's the rules.
Emily, your buzzer is lady.
Cooper, your buzzer is tradie.
When you think you know the answer buzz in, first to get three correct,
takes home the win and the 50 bucks.
Are we ready?
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
What furniture store opened in Auckland today?
Yes, Emily.
Ikea.
It is IKEA, causing traffic delays, was the end of that question.
One to the ladies, question number two.
Donald Trump is the current president of the United States,
named two previous presidents.
I'm going to say Cooper just got in there.
Barack Obama?
Yes.
John F. Kennedy.
Well done.
I'll take it.
You're on the board.
Cooper. See now anything after this is a bonus. Here we go. One apiece. Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this.
Cooper's in.
Arianda Grande is correct. Well done, Cooper. Two to the tradies. One to the ladies. You need this one, Emily, to stay in it.
Question number four. What is the name of Apple's virtual assistant?
Yes, Emily.
Alexa.
No, Cooper for the win?
Flip.
It is and that's the win.
Oh, bugger, Emily, you knew straight away your mistake, didn't you?
Bugger, hey.
Oh, good, well played.
Call back any time and play again, but Cooper, redemption round for you, mate.
How does it feel?
Oh, yeah, a lot better than last week.
Hey, it'll feel pretty good when we put that 50 bucks into your account. Nice work.
No, sweet as I think, guys.
Good on you, mate. Have a good rest of your day.
Listen up, kids. Listen up, because I have something special just for you guys.
Okay, and adults. End adults. Christmas.
It's 21 days away. And if you've listened to this show before, you would know that I have
a personal line through to Santa Claus.
He's a friend of mine.
I've hung out with him a few times.
Had a few shots at a bar once.
He's a good guy.
He's a good bloke.
And he every year does me the favour of tuning into this show
so you guys can tell him what you want for Christmas.
If you don't believe me,
I asked him to leave us a personal voicemail.
and here it is
Well hello there, Bree and Clint

I've opened up a special
Center hotline just for Brie and Clint's listeners.
Oh, ho, ho. That means you can call in and tell me what you'd really love for Christmas.
Big wishes, little wishes. I want to hear them all.

I'm 13.
Okay, great.
And let us know, Santa and his elves are listening.
What do you want for Christmas?
I would really like a boyfriend.
I love that, cat.
Why not?
Why can't we ask Santa for a boyfriend?
I like what you did.
I don't know. Have you got anyone in particular in mind?
James.
James. There you go, Santa. If you're listening, Cat would like James a boyfriend for Christmas.
Nice work, Kat. Thanks for calling through.
Thank you.
See you.
That's brilliant.
So good. Someone ticks through. This one's so cute as well. It says, my five-year-old with
like to ask Santa for some blueberries

great choice. It's a great choice
for a present for Christmas.
Let's go, oh, 800 dials at M.

Merry Christmas. One more. Let's talk to Indy on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Indy.
Hi.
How old are you?
I'm 12, turning 13 next month.
Amazing. And do you want to ask Santa for some gifts this year?
Yeah, I would like Birkenstocks and I'd each year and took it.
Hello. Ed Sheeran's your favourite.
Yeah.
Both great gifts.
If you had to pick one more than the other,
would you rather the Birkenstocks or Ed Shearing tickets?
Probably I'd Shearing tickets.
Okay, good.
Just so Santa's listening if he can get one or the other,
but I'm sure he'll get you both, Indy.
You've got both coming, I'm sure.
You've been a good girl this year, haven't you?
Yeah.
Good on you, Indy.
Merry Christmas, okay?
Good Christmas.
See you later.
The phone lines are going ballistic.
And look, if you did miss out on saying what you wanted for Christmas,
Santa is listening and you can text it through to 9-696,
and we will email all of those through to the North Pole and Santa Claus.
So no one is going to miss out.
Text them through to 9-6-96.
And hey, I reckon we might do this again before the end of the year.
What do you reckon, Claude?
I think so.
There's too many kids that want to tell Santa what they want for Christmas.
And we're the only one with a direct line.
Yeah.
Anything you want for Christmas?
Oh, there's so many things. I couldn't start the list.
What do I want?
I want new hobbies.
New hobbies.
I want to make like air-dry clay things.
Okay.
So maybe we could get you, what is it called?
What's the thing called where you throw a wheel?
A wheel.
A pottery wheel?
Okay, there you go, Santa.
That's what Claude wants.
What do you want?
What are you want?
I also want a wheel.
A wheel of cheese is what I would like.
Parmesan, preferably, Santa.
Great choice.
Thank you for all your calls. That was very, very sweet.
We will do it again before the end of the year.
That is a Brie promised.
ZD.N.'s, Brinclent.
It's time to head to Hollywood for the tea.
The tea. Live from L.A. with Dean, speaking of Sabrina,
she is in a fight with the White House?
She certainly is. Let me just set the scene for you.
So, ICE, which is the group that are going around and grabbing people literally off the street,
literally and putting them into police trucks and then shipping them off and what's the word
deporting them yes she they have this they have this video and they actually showed people being
grabbed and arrested by ice and in the video right that they played they actually used a line
from Sabrina carpenter's song and they repeated the line that says do you like it this way do you like
it this way or how do you like i think it was it's a part of a very popular song of hers and
And they use that song as they showed clips of people being grabbed off the street,
Bree, and it's totally disgusting.
And finally, Sabrina Carpin has actually written on a social media post for everyone to see.
She said, this video is evil and disgusting.
Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.
And she has every right to say that.
Priya, have I told you the video that I saw where I get my car wash in West Hollywood,
where you all go, right?
It's called Palm's Car Wash.
Yeah.
I got sent a video of ice going into that car wash
and grabbing the staff and putting them into paddy wagon
and literally, Bree, where I stand and sit like all the time,
grabbing them and putting them into these trucks
and all the locals are screaming at them and swearing at them
as they grab people and put them into the back of a truck.
What a terrifying time to live in America, Dean.
Do you know how dark that is to imagine people that you know
when you see every Saturday being grabbed
and then put into the back of a truck.
It's like a movie.
Like a horror movie.
I can't even imagine.
I honestly can't even imagine.
Has I heard that the White House did respond to Sabrina Carpenter's comments, Dean?
I think what did they say?
I'm not actually sure what they've actually.
Have they responded to it by now?
Probably.
I think they did.
Oh, yeah, no, they did.
Sorry, I did see that, actually.
So basically they went on and said that, you know,
essentially that like they are.
deporting people that they believe that are
criminals, essentially. And they were
like, well, then, you know, this isn't.
If you think it's an inhumane agenda, we're
literally deporting people that are criminals.
Is the very, very quick summary of it.
But that's how they justified
the video, but she's like, don't ever use my
music in your dark
ways again. Yeah, that is
crazy. Good on her for standing up for
herself and others in the States
right now. Appreciate it, Dean. Thanks so much.
Thanks, Bree. That's Dean
McCarthy, live from L.A.
their name's Bree and Clint podcast i want to talk about this interesting fella i met the other night
and i say interesting because he had an unusual name claude like when i heard it i was like
where's that from i think i said that i was like that's an unusual name where's that from
is that a family name uh and you tell me if it's unusual to you okay so this guy's name was
davian davian davian it's like almost a name that i'm familiar that i'm
familiar with.
Exactly.
Davian.
Because I said Davian.
Haven't heard that name before.
Where's that from?
He goes, oh, it's actually a combination of my dad's name and my granddad's name.
Interesting.
So not even both of his parents.
No.
So his dad's name is Dave.
Okay.
And his granddad's name is Ian.
Davian.
So it's literally Dave Ian.
Davian.
I didn't mind it.
It sounds quite...
It's quite a nice name when you say it, you're Davian.
It's fancy.
Quite smooth.
But it's not a real name.
But the story gets better though.
Because he said to me, he goes, I know, it's weird.
He's like, but if you love my name, you're going to love this.
Because my siblings all have combination names as well.
And I said, oh my God, tell me.
Tell me.
He goes, okay, so my brother's name is Ben Rick.
Is that Ben and Rick?
Ben and Eric.
Oh, my God.
Turned into Benric.
His name's Benric.
And then his sister is Kathleen.
Kathleen and Lynn.
Kathleen.
Kathleen.
Oh, why?
And I said to him, I was like, is this like a common thing in your family?
He goes, nah, my parents just decided that all their kids were going to have
combo names.
I'm like how they've gone from Dave the dad to Kathleen and Benric.
Hey, I've never heard anyone with those three names.
Me neither.
So they're unique.
You'll never forget them.
No.
What was the baby from Twilight's name?
Renesme.
Renesme.
Yeah.
Which is Renee and Ismay.
Renesme.
That's so beautiful.
Beautiful.
Really nice.
Such a beautiful combo name.
I love it.
I wanted to ask people this afternoon and I want you to call through 0800 dials at M.
Maybe it's your name.
Maybe it's someone you've met, someone you know.
I want combo names.
If you were named after your parents, if they comboed their name, what would your name be?
I'd be Dysdiv.
Beautiful.
I love it.
Beautiful.
What about yours?
It would be Coney.
All right, Diceb and Coney.
We are standing by to take your calls.
The ZM Podcast Network.
You and I were talking about what our names would be.
If we had our parents' names.
Yes.
And what did I say?
You said stevennes.
Yeah, stevan.
Yeah, but someone texts through and they said, wouldn't your name be Stevian?
Oh, you said die steve, didn't you?
Steviourne is way nicer.
It kind of sounds like a posh water.
Sounds very Italian.
Stevian.
Stevian.
It does sound like posh water.
Doesn't it?
A lot of great ones coming through on the text machine.
Someone said growing up a friend's mum, her name was Errolin
because her parents were fans of Errol Flynn.
Well, it's not even a family name.
That's brilliant.
That's so good.
Let's talk to Val.
Gidey Val.
Kiyoda.
Kiyoda.
What have you got for me, Val?
Who's got the combo name?
So my granddaughter is named after my three sons and not the program.
Okay.
So she's named after her dad.
who's Carlos, so she's spelled K-A-H,
her uncle Caleb, so the L-E,
and her uncle Kiani, which has Y-A-A-E in his name.
So K-A-H-L-E-Y-A-E spells Kahlia.
Kalia.
See, I quite like that.
That's probably the nicest one we've heard, Val.
Very fancy.
She's named after his two parents,
so you got my sister, that's Deborah,
so she's taken the O-R-H-A from her name,
and the K-E-L.
from her partner's name and named her son, Oracle.
Oracle.
Interesting.
I like yours better, I think.
Yeah.
We named our boat after our granddaughter, too,
and our daughter called Carlyatoui.
Oh, that's sweet.
Oh, you guys are very creative in your family, Val.
Thanks for the call, mate.
Appreciate it.
I have a new life goal.
I want someone to name a boat after me.
Oh, that is a great life goal.
I didn't know that was an option.
goal. That is really good life goal for you.
Another text that's come through. A guy who I work with has, this one doesn't really fit,
but I still want to read it out because it's so good.
It says a guy who I work with has two brothers. His name is Teigen and his brother's names are Regan and Deegan.
I love it. How do you like call them for dinner when they're little kids?
Teagan, Regan, Deegan.
You'd forget which one's wet. Yeah. They're all just Egan's. So good.
Hello, mate.
Hello.
You got a combination name for me?
Well, not yet, but me and my partner are engaged to get married and are going to have a baby.
Okay.
So we're just scheming.
Okay.
Tell me what you're thinking.
It's not quite as magic as Oracle, but because none of us want to lose like our last names
and we don't want to give the baby like a hyphenated name because it'll be so long.
Yeah, true.
So maybe we could just merge our last names and just come.
become like the, instead of
Jacobson and Berkett, just become the Berksons.
The Berksons, as for a last name.
As for a last name, yeah.
I don't like it, Emily.
I think that's cool.
We're still debating on it, so votes are good.
The Berksons, it's giving modern era.
I think it's a new chapter for everyone.
I think go with it.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're pretty sad.
It's a yes from me, Emily.
It's just sort of like, oh, but what if they grow up
and like our great-grandchildren try to find their ancestry.
They're like, who the heck of the Berkson?
They just, like, appeared in 2025, 22nd.
Who the hell went rogue and made up their own bloody name?
Yeah, yeah.
And it'll trace back to you, Emily.
Hey, what about Oracle Berkson?
Oh, darn.
That's pretty.
It's nice.
Yeah, it's nice, Emily.
It's different.
You're welcome.
You're welcome, Del.
Thanks for the call.
Very good.
one text through and said, not a combo name, but I taught a girl's, uh, taught a girl whose name was
Nevec, because her dad's name was Kevin, and it's Kevin backwards.
They're like, oh, we're having a daughter. We can't name her. Kevin, what are we going to do?
Oh, damn it. We'll name her Nevec. It's perfect. I love it. I love it. I love it.
Uh, let's, one more. Let's talk to Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.
Hi. Tell us, who's got the combo name?
Uh, my auntie. She's called.
Donette and her parents are Don and Bernadette
That's so good
Wait so her name is Donette
But back then I don't think it was
That is brilliant
Does Donette have any siblings
Anonymous?
Yeah she's got six siblings
Do any of them have a combination name
Or was she just the lucky one
Just the lucky one, the first born
Oh, lucky Dennett.
Yeah.
Was she the favourite?
Was she the favourite, you reckon?
I don't know.
They're pretty, maybe not, but it definitely brought a good conversation.
I bet.
Good conversation started.
Appreciate the call anonymous.
Thank you.
There's too many good ones.
We need to read some of these out.
Someone said, my cousin's name is Danan,
a combination of my aunt and uncle's second names, Dennis and Anne.
Buzzy.
Danan.
Oh, little baby Danan.
I love it.
Someone else said there was a TikTok of some guy
whose name was Brayden.
Oh no, wait.
So the parents' names were Brayden and Caitlin,
and they named their kid Braylon.
Brailin.
Brailin.
It's too close to Brayden for me.
Quite close.
It's like one.
What about this one?
Do you like this one?
My nephew has a combination name of his mom and dad.
His name is Kryden.
His mum's name is Crystal
and his dad's name is Daniel.
So Kryden.
Crydan.
Cryden?
Crystal Dan.
Kryden or Kryden?
Kryden.
Once you put it together.
Criden.
I think Dennett's still the winner for me.
Yeah, agreed.
That's quite nice.
Someone else said,
My friend recently named her baby Kosh,
which is a combo of her parents' names,
Kayla and Josh.
That's quite different, eh?
It's unusual.
And this one might be my favourite.
The parents' names were Annette and Phil.
And they said, oh no, wait, I don't think it's a real one.
They said, my combo name, if it was my parents' names together,
which is Annette and Phil, would be Anil.
Or if you say it with an accent, Anil.
Anil.
If you know, you know.
Um, beautiful names, guys.
It's ZAM's Brie and Clint podcast.
It's time to play. What's the Plot?
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,
that she can do.
Bree and Clint's What's the Plot?
It is my one and only talent guessing movie plot.
lines quickly. You have plenty of other talents. What are you talking about? Like, um, here's
how it works. You're really good at breakdancing. The silence was deafening. Um, we'll take turns
guessing movies. Who's going against me today? We've got Laura today. Hello, Laura. Hi, Laura.
Hi. Now look, Laura, a little disappointing. It is at $50. But hey, 50 bucks is better than a punch in
the eye, isn't it?
Yeah, totally, for sure.
As they say.
As they say, the old saying, or is it a stick in the eye?
A poke in the eye.
Better than a poke in the eye, maybe.
Yeah, I've heard that thing before.
Yes, thank you, Laura.
Producer Claude, Clint is away.
Producer Claude...
Yeah, I'm in charge today.
We'll be running the game.
How does it work, Lord?
So, the way that it works, I will tell you the theme in just a moment,
but I'm going to read a plot line out.
Don't wait for me to finish.
You just need a buzz in with your name if you know what it is,
and the first person to correctly guess two movies will take home the win.
All right, best of luck, Laura.
Thanks.
As we talked about before, last week, Chauvonne took home $1,300.
So the prize pool is back to the start with $50 cash.
So we're going back to basics too.
And we're doing what I reckon is a fan favorite category, chick flicks.
Ooh, I do love a chick flick.
So I'm going to start reading, buzz in with your name if you know it.
Here is movie number one.
disaster strikes when our hero turns 27 and is deemed too old to continue in her job
kicked out Laura is that a playboy mansion
it is not the playboy mansion
too old to continue in her job do you want a free guess
I'll have a free like stab in the dark the sweetest thing
no okay you're both back in so she's turned 27 deemed too old to continue in her job
kicked out into the real world
the girl ambles onto a college campus
and tries to...
The house bunny?
The house bunny is correct.
You were on the right path, Laura,
because she is literally a playboy bunny.
Yes, and a pharist, right?
Yeah.
Freaking knew it, okay.
Okay, that is one point to breeze.
Yeah, you've got this next one, Laura.
I feel it.
Okay.
So how you pot in that?
My favorite chick flick.
You would win that one.
Okay, movie number two.
Not only is our hero, the most popular girl in school.
She is also the meanest.
But things change for the teen when a...
Laura.
Men girl.
It's not mean girls.
Really?
Yeah.
God, I thought you had it, Laura.
Excellent guess.
Brie, you want a free guess?
God.
No, I don't know.
Hell, bugs you out as well.
Keep going.
It could be a lot of movies, though.
Yeah, that's a pretty generic starting line.
That's true.
Things change for the teen when a freak accident involving a cursed
pair of earrings and a chance.
Bree. The hot check.
The hot check
is correct.
Okay, going to be honest, I'd never heard of that.
Haven't you? Such a good one, Laura.
Rob Schneider, go
and Rachel McAdams?
Yes. Go watch it. Oh, yes. Love her.
She's so hot. She's so hot.
Thanks for playing, Laura. We've got a
$50 KFC consolation
prize for you, mate.
Oh, really? Oh, my God. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. You are welcome. You have a good afternoon.
No, okay?
Okay, thank you.
It's ZM's Brinklin podcast.
Something I wanted to talk about was the new iPhone, because they bring out a new one every
year, and people are like, damn, these iPhones are getting expensive.
Price gouging.
They don't even give us a bloody charger anymore.
Do people still line up to buy them, like, the night they're released?
I think some people do, but they're just very, very pricey.
Do you remember that video when it was maybe the first?
first ever iPhone and someone was opening it for the news and they opened the box and it just fell
out fell straight onto the floor yes i do recall that moment um someone asked me the other day they were like
oh you're gonna get the new iPhone and i was like no my phones yeah there's nothing wrong with it
functional and they're like oh do you not get the new iPhone every time it comes out i'm like no
that's a waste yeah but no offense to anyone that does do that if that's your old one yeah can we have
your old ones um i've done some digging into exactly how much
an iPhone 17 Pro Max actually costs to make.
Is that the fanciest version?
It's the, yeah, it's the biggest fanciest version.
I've gone with the 256 gigabyte model.
So normally in New Zealand,
you'll pay around $2,000.
For the phone?
For the phone.
Oh my gosh, that's more than I thought it was.
Yeah, so it's around two and a half grand.
Obviously, they can be more expensive
depending if you get more memory and
et cetera, et cetera.
So how much do you think like the main enclosure of the phone?
Like how much does that cost?
For that price, I hope it's $2,000.
Well, I want it to get my money's worth.
Just the main housing of the phone.
Yeah, just like, it's just a piece of metal.
100 bucks?
$36.
What?
Is how much it costs Apple.
How much do you think the battery?
Oh, okay.
Cost to produce.
$7.10.
You're kidding.
What about the 256 storage?
$100.
$35.
The memory, like the actual memory of the phone, how much does that piece of technology cost for them to produce?
$50.
$37.
What about the 5G modem that is in the phone?
Oh, okay.
That's probably useful.
$200.
Closer.
on this one, $155.
Okay.
What about the Pro Max display?
So, like, I think that's like the screen and stuff.
$500.
$138.
The A-19 Pro Chips are $157.
The camera module is $138.
And so I've added all of those up for a grand total.
Remember, we started with it's around $2,500.
But to make the phone, Apple pays.
around 700 bucks.
That's still quite a lot.
Like the margin's still huge,
but that's a lot for one unit.
So how much are they making per phone?
They're making 1,000.
Hold on.
800.
Two, I'm going to do the exact numbers.
Minus 706.
That's it.
Yeah, about 1850.
Damn.
1850.
We're getting ripped off.
God, they're doing it.
That's a good business.
Model A.
Should we start doing that?
And they won't even give us a bloody charger.
You don't get wires on your headphones.
You don't get a charger.
Just give me my bloody charger.
Play ZDems, Bree and Clend.
Now we're talking about stuff you hid from your parents,
or maybe you're currently hiding something from your parents.
After this mum posted online,
the fact that she found out her 12-year-old daughter had a secret phone.
So our family friend just came over
He's like, I tell you something
He's like, your daughter told my daughter
that she's got a secret phone
And like, how?
He said that she said that she hides out of the mattress
on her bunk bed because she knows I can't get up there
And she got a TikTok account, everything.
I thought she'd been so good.
This is why she's been in her room.
Sneaky little bee.
Sneaky little bee.
So we're asking you guys,
what do you hide from your parents?
Let's talk to Sean.
Gidey, Sean.
Gidey.
Was it you that hid,
something from your parents, Sean?
Yeah, it was me.
So every day after school, we had a little hall next to our property,
and I would empty my sandwiches that I did not like to eat when I was a kid.
And I started getting a bit of a collection up,
and it was the babysitter that caught me, and then went and told on me.
That's the punishment.
You would not believe what was these days.
I was grounded for a week, but every day I got home from school,
I got to go to bed.
You know, that would have been a dream as an adult right now,
But as a kid, I was here for it.
I was just like, I can't believe it.
It was funny, you know.
Sean just tries to get caught by his parents now
so he can have a nap.
He's like, ground me now, parents.
Ground me now.
What kind of sandwiches didn't you like, Sean, that you were throwing out?
It was anything that was just soggy, like, you know,
your peanut butter, your jam sandwiches.
And then I used to just trade a bit of food with the other kids.
And, you know, they usually get me through the day.
So, you know.
Yeah.
I feel you on that, Sean.
I used to hide my sandwiches in the top part of my lunchbox.
You know those ones that had the little lid at the top?
And I used to stuff all my gross sandwiches in there.
So I feel you on that.
Appreciate the call, Sean.
Thank you.
Thanks, mate.
Someone texts through and they said,
before the internet,
I would hide my adult nudie magazines from my parents.
Is Clint texting the show again?
Yeah, well, he's supposed to be off today.
I know.
It's always checking it on us.
He has told me before because he worked at a gas station.
that they would get all the ones that wouldn't get sold
and he had a collection under his bed.
He got all the reject ones?
Yeah.
Let's talk to Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thank you, mate.
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
That's good.
What were you hiding from your parents, Sarah?
I used to steal my mum's blocks of butter
once a week.
Why?
I have to go to the supermarket to cook dinner
and if I behave, she'd buy me a lolly.
Wait, so you would take the sticks of butter
so your mum had to go to the supermarket
and then you would be like, hey, can you get me a lolly?
Yeah, pretty much.
You're a mastermind, Sarah.
She doesn't know this.
What do you do for work now?
I feel like you should be like a police officer or something.
I'm doing a real estate internship.
Oh, yes, yes.
You'll fit in well there, Sarah.
You'll fit in very well.
Appreciate the call, mate.
Very funny.
Someone text her and they said, I'm still hiding my sexuality from my mum.
She thinks I'm straight, but I prefer women.
I'm nearly 30.
Wow.
Wow.
Interesting.
I mean, yes, nearly 30.
I wonder, you could tell her for Christmas.
Oh, it'd be a nice surprise.
Hey, ma'am, Merry Christmas.
Hey, guess what?
Guess what, Mum?
Here's your Christmas present.
Someone else said I used to borrow my parents' V8 car to drive to school and to see my friends.
then I'd make sure I put just a little bit of fuel back in
and leave some leaves around the back of the tyres
so it appeared that the car had never left.
So cheesy.
That's wild.
There's so many levels in that.
I like it.
I appreciate the effort and I'm sure your parents would appreciate the effort
and then ground you as well.
Someone said I hid the fact that I was dating someone new for six months
from my parents to ensure that they were the right one first.
That makes sense.
You don't want to do all the introductions.
and then not have it work out.
Yeah, that's rough.
Someone else said I hid a tattoo from my parents,
had to make excuses to breastfeed my newborn without them in the room.
You're like, I know you're my parents, but I'm really shy.
Yeah, I really don't want Dad looking at my chuzzies.
That's fair enough.
They're like, oh, Dad will leave the room.
Yeah.
No, Mom, too.
Someone else said, my sister hid a car from my parents.
She didn't have her license, so she used to park it at the dairy.
Did you ever deal with the dairy owner?
Like, don't tow it?
Yeah, this is our deal
and I'll buy all my milk and bread from here.
The $2 dollar lollipacks.
Very good stuff, guys.
Let's do a birthday banger, right?
ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast.
All I want to my birthday is a birthday banger.
All righty, if you've never heard this before,
this is where you can call in, you tell us your birthday,
and we figure out what was the number one song when you turned 16,
and then we'll play our favourite birthday banger out of the three.
Let's kick it off with Georgia.
Hi, Georgia.
Hey.

Yeah, yeah, I believe so.
How old are you turning today, can I ask?
34.
Big 34.
What have you asked for for your birthday?
Not a lot.
Just a cook dinner when I can finish, get home from work.
Sounds bloody nice.
And you don't have to clean up?
No, I'm pretty fussy, so.
Are you a bit of a clean freak, are you?
Yeah.
My son knows the dishwasher on it, so yeah.
Hey, happy birthday for today.
You're 34, which means you were born in 2007, no, 991,
which means you were 16 in 2007, and here's your birthday banger.
Oh, it's a heartfelt banger from Leona Lewis.
What do you reckon, Georgia?
It's not bad, I would say it's a bit heartbreaking,
but I think I listened to that song a few times.
Didn't we all, Georgia, didn't we all?
I really like that one from Leona Lewis.
I think it's a goodie.
Hey, stick around.
Let's talk to Kelsey.

And I feel like I want to give you what you want because you've had a hard day.
But we'll see.

Bleeding love, Leona Lewis on ZM, your birthday banger.
Leona Lewis bleeding love on ZM
That song goes hard
That song slaps, man
Did you, did you forget?
Yes, I did
That song absolutely slaps
Leona Lewis
It reminds me of a breakup
That I was going through in 2007
The amount of times that I bawled my eyes out
Tom, if you're listening, I'm over you.
Yeah, Tom.
Yeah, I was never under you.
Like one time.
You don't deserve her.
One or two times at least.
Um, hey, up next on the show, if you haven't seen on every one of your friends' Instagram stories, I'm so puffed.
It was quite a performance in here in the studio.
ZD.N's Branklinz.
Well, today was the day. Spotify rat dropped and everyone was sharing it on their Instagram.
Literally everyone. And I respect people sharing. I know some people really love it.
Yeah, but there's only so many you can watch before you're like, no.
Okay.
I completely cared about every single one of them that I saw.
That's good from you.
And took notice and paid attention and didn't skip through any.
I loved everyone equally.
Exactly.
What was your top song of the year?
My top song, it's a song from Five Seconds of Summer called Moons Swings.
Of course it is.
But it's not in the system, so I can't play it for you.
Sorry, it's too obscure.
Oh, too much of a deep cut.
Oh, you're so cool.
What was mine? I'll tell you.
Mine was a song from Chapel Rhone, Super...
Red wine?
Wine.
Supernova.
It always confuses me the name of that song.
This is the song you've listened to most and you don't know what it's called.
I always...
I think I'm dyslexic because I always put Supernova in front of red wine.
Right.
Supernova red wine.
And then there's like champagne supernova, a different kind of wine altogether.
Anyway.
Bangor from Chabellone, in my opinion.
Let's get into the global results, though.
Yes, I'm actually so interested.
Yeah, if you haven't seen these,
these are the Spotify Global Results.
We'll kick it off with the most streamed global artists of 2025,

I thought you said it was 65.
Shouldn't have told you that before the show.
Z&M's Bree and Clint's podcast.
Clint Away back tomorrow,
producers in giving me a hand
and I need you girls because we got to weigh in on who's the a-hole in this situation.
I'm so ready to lay down my judgment.
Yeah, good.
This is where we get to judge freely because it doesn't involve us
unless we say it's someone else but it's actually our own lives.
Oh, sorry about my friend.
Yes, and my friend did this.
No, so here's the situation today
and it involves baby names where things can get a little bit messy.
Oh, always messy.
especially in family situations.
That's funny you say that because that's exactly what this is.
It says last week my wife Amber and I welcomed our second and third children into the world,
a pair of beautiful twin girls.
Some drama has begun over the names we chose for them and I'm curious if we were in the wrong.
Before our first daughter was born four years ago,
my sister wanted to know what we planned to name her.
My sister said that she'd always dreamed of naming her daughter Sarah,
first name Sarah, middle name Rose.
And she basically asked us not to use either of those names
in case she had a daughter in the future.
Okay.
A little bit of background.
The name Sarah was my mother's name.
And Rose was my father's grandmother.
We both knew women very well before they passed
and they were each greatly loved in our families.
Fast forward three years when our second pregnancy rolled around and we learned we were having two more girls.
My sister contacted us and asked us about the names.
She reiterated how she had always dreamed of naming her daughter Sarah Rose
and how she'd appreciated it if we didn't use either of those names.
My wife and I said we would consider her request.
After talking it over, we decided it wasn't fair to call dibs on both names between the cousins,
especially for names of our beloved grandmothers
who multiple people might want to honour.
All that said, we thought maybe we could extend
my sister an olive branch just as a kindness
and we told her that we won't promise not to use both the names
but if she wanted to pick one that she could.
She immediately picked Sarah
but reiterated that she would prefer if we did not use Rose either.
Anyway, the twins have been born and we named one of them,
Isabella and the other one Rose.
My sister immediately stopped replying to our group texts and pictures
and has been radio silent ever since.
Are we the A-holes for giving our daughter the name Rose?
There's so much involved in this.
A lot to unpack.
First of all, honestly, you can't necessarily dibs a name.
You can't.
Although you can discuss it and go, this is a person name to me.
Hey, I'd really like, you know, if you didn't use this name.
She doesn't even know if she's going to have a daughter.
That's the thing.
Is she going to have kids any time soon?
It's been four years when she's had this dibs.
You sound like my bloody name.
Calm down.
But I will say also because Rose and Sarah is a family name,
you can't also dibs that.
Because again, as they were saying in the spiel,
Rose is a special grandma name.
People might want to go about that.
I personally think they've done the right thing.
They've said, look, we won't use both names
because clearly these names mean a lot.
to you, but we're going to use one of them.
Yeah. And she got to pick which
one she would rather.
So go with that and plus
she wants to give the baby the second
name Rose, big deal. It's a middle name
as well. Man, I fully disagree with you guys.
Joe! I fully
disagree. I love it. Get it. I acknowledge
you can't necessarily dibs
a name. But she has put that conversation out there.
Four years ago. But she's reiterated
when she found out they were pregnant and if they wanted to
use a family name, I feel like
the middle ground is using a middle name.
Instead of first name, Rose, it should be,
hey, I also want to honor our grandmother.
I'm going to call them, you know,
Laura Rose or whatever,
and just put the rose in the middle.
I just, I don't know, like, you can't dibs,
but she, oh, I don't know.
I feel putting myself in that position
being like, this is the name I've always dreamed of.
It is a family name, but this is mine.
Remember this, Ella, because...
There's so many names out there.
Claudia ever calls shotgun of the front seat.
Don't mess with her.
She means business.
It just needs to be fair.
And also the fact that she's put that conversation forward,
she's gone, these are the names that I want.
And then they've gone,
Cole, we're going to do it without talking to you.
Yeah, look, I think we should play a song
so Claudia can calm down.
It's a bit heated in here.
