Show requested, so here it is. As long as you've got da-da-da-da. It's Z-M's Brean-Klin podcast. Z-M's Brean-Klint, thanks to KFC. Z-M's Brea and Clint. I change your life if you just live with me to love. Kuddy, everybody, and welcome to the Brie and Clint show on a Wednesday. Yeah, it's a good Wednesday, too.

Wednesday before Laneway Festival. Friday for a lot of people. A lot of people taking tomorrow off so they can have a long, long weekend and go away. Because, of course, public holiday on Friday. around the country. My tonguey. Is it the first full public holiday for the whole country? Of the year.

Of the year. Yeah, I'd say. If you don't count New Year's and... Oh yeah, New Year's Day and the second... Doesn't count? No, because we're already on holidays, most people. Oh, I see what you mean. You know?

Well, yeah. Yeah, how good. How good. How bloody good. Big show today. We're going to call your high school. You really want to do this? Yeah.

I think... Leave them alone. They're busy teaching their future... You never leave them alone. You're always calling them asking if you can go back for a visit. I've been back twice in what? What about 20 years? What about when you organise the full reunion party on your own accord?

That wasn't at the school though. Oh, wasn't it not? No, you don't have a high school reunion at the school. Oh, that's just in the movies, eh? I don't think it matters what age you are. I don't think you can get drunk at your school. Yeah, it's like illegal at any age. I just think it's frowned upon.

I just think the school's like, I'll do it somewhere else. Yeah, that's fair enough. I think I just think of it that way, because in all the movies, they always have it at the school. Movies ruin you on everything to do with schools. I was expecting a locker. There were no lockers. You're expecting like a prom inside the school gymnasium. I was expecting my basketball team to do full musical routines.

Chair squad? Yeah. Yeah, none of it. None of it's real. So, yeah, anyway, good luck with that. We, big news, are calling the winner of ZE. ZDM's million dollar summer this afternoon. Oh, yeah, that's huge.

for ducks for you to shoot. A pronoun was imparming. You should see the Dead Am's Bree and Clint Podcast. Yesterday you said something to me that I want to look into because you were sitting at the airport and you looked over at me and you said, oh

my friend has put me forward to make the graduation speech to the graduating class at my high school. Yeah, bear in mind it's only February, by the way. It's very early to be selecting your... It is super early. Valedictorian speech giver. Because it's the speech that they bring back a past student

that has obviously been successful to inspire the graduating class, correct? Your word's not mine. And the look on your face, you try to make it out like, oh, it's really putting me out, But I could tell you were loving every second. You love going back to your high school and getting praise and having a good time. Okay, chill out about it.

That's only partly two. They haven't even chosen me yet. It's just a suggestion. So do people... Right. So she's just put your name forward. She just put my name forward. Okay.

I think I have a duty here, which I think you'd be great. I think you'd be a great pick. I think you do a fantastic speech. I mean, you do it for a living. But I just want to make sure that the people at John Paul College and Rotar know the options available. Yeah, right. That if there is a more inspiring past student,

just so, because you want to get selected knowing you've gone up against the best. Oh, well, what a good friend. Thanks. Thanks for making sure they know they've got better options. So I've looked into your past, and I think I'm going to call your social studies, teacher, Mr Baker, because I think he knows you, so he's going to have, you know, all of the information he needs about you.

And then I'm just going to throw forward some other people that have, you know, also attended John Paul College. Oh, great. I can't wait. Thanks for this. Let's put in the call. Hello. Hello, who was that speaking?

This is Simon Baker. Simon Baker. It's Bree Thomas L here from Z.M's Bray and Clint. How are you? I'm good, thanks. That's very good. Simon, I've got an ex-student of yours here with me. You might remember him, Clint Roberts. Yes, very hard to forget.

In a good way. Mr Baker, good afternoon. Oh, always polite, Clinton. It's a pleasure to talk to you, sir. Hey, Simon, I won't take up too much of your time, but Clint told me something, and I just wanted to check in with you, because Clint said to me that he has been put forward as one of the options to make the graduation speech there at John Paul College later this year. Okay, that would be not the first time that he's spoken. He loves it, doesn't he, Simon?

He loves to come back to the school and everyone know his name. It's his favourite. Yes, yes, I would argue that that's, that's, I'm being incredibly euphemistic here. That's probably a large part of his life. No, that's not fair. Okay, okay, okay, okay. He would do a really, really good job. He would, he would, no doubt.

And he would be the perfect person to talk to the students, so I would say do it. Yeah, and this is, I agree with you. I agree with everything that you said. I think you'd do a fantastic job to inspire the next generation of kids. But have you thought about the other options that might be better than Clint? I couldn't think of any options. Yeah, I'll rattle a few off. Yeah, I've got a few off the top of my head.

What about international television and film star Cliff Curtis? I know I've been at the school for a long time, but I'm not too sure whether he's an old pupil. I think he went to Edmund Rice. I mean, close enough. Close enough. What about, I mean, she might be the greatest athlete that this country has ever produced Dame Susan DeVoy.

Oh. World champion squash player. I think, I believe, four or five times. Actually, I know I understand what you're saying That might necessarily be one for a different generation Yeah, plus I don't know if you guys can afford her She's been on Celebrity Treasure Island now Yeah, she's quite pricing

What do you mean we can afford her? Are you paying for us for the privilege of coming to talk to you? I mean, I could come and chat if you wanted I mean, I'm free There's a thought if you said you're free So it's going to save us Yeah You're free?

No, it's usually a Christmas gift basket I'm happy to do it for nothing Simon because that's, I care about the youth of today. Oh, thank you very much. It's nice to hear that. Anyway, Simon, I just thought I'd call and give out the other options. I'm sure Clint would do a fantastic job, but I just wanted to make sure you guys knew all the options out there.

You know what I'm saying? Okay. Well, I do have a meeting with the principal, so I'll just have a chat with them and tell them what you've come up with. That would be great. Yeah, okay. Listen, thank you very much for the call. Have a good rest of your day.

Thank you, Mr. Baker. It's all good. It's nice that you've got a word in, Clinton. Yeah, I'm still here. You are still there. Yeah, yeah. Hey, that's enough from you. I'm talking to Mr. Baker.

See you. See you. See you. See you. Bye. Bye. Thank you. Have a good rest of you day.

See you. Bye. Are you happy with yourself? I'm pretty happy. Far out. I felt like I was back at school. Like, I felt like... You were very...

That's the most quiet I've ever heard you. Yeah, he was quite intimidating, Mr. Baker. I thought he was lovely. Dead is Franklin. The list of the top five most offensive words that you can broadcasts have been released by the BSA, it comes out every year and it changes because people's levels of

offence change over time and you get offended by things that you didn't used to or you're not offended like you can say the S word a lot on the radio now. Yes, you can. And we do. But homophobic and racist words are usually high on the list. They're usually high on the list.

To be the most offensive rather than say the F word. Well, yeah. Like I feel like you're a lot more likely to get away with an F bomb these days. Yeah, all of those things you've just They're all in the mix. Are they? All of them. All of them.

Okay. These are the top five. Let's broadcast them so any future broadcasters know the words that they can't broadcast. Okay. Okay. Number five, on the most offensive words to be broadcast according to the BSA, Mother F-F. I don't find that one that bad.

Not that bad. We can't say it. Yeah, I know, but I don't understand why it's so bad. Is it the mother part? Maybe, I think, to be honest, I'm pretty sure the back end or the back end of it by itself isn't as offensive. The f*** apart. Yeah.

Yeah, right. Not as offensive. Number four? J. Christ. That is something I definitely never say. I don't think, I've had a few accidental swears on this show. I don't think I've ever dropped a jricks for Christ.

I think you'd have to be pretty lax to be accidentally saying that. It's a triple barrel. Yeah. You know? There's a certain level of premeditation in that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. before the end. Number three, I've come close to.

I've come close to saying this one. Okay. The third most offensive word you can say on the radio. Have you come close to saying that? Yeah, you know, like, one time when you gave me a fright, it nearly slipped out. Like, I think I almost dropped a...

Yeah, I mean, when we're off air, it is, I think every second word, you say that word. Rich from you, you're the Australian. I'm part of you. You guys use it as a term of endearment. I'm very cultured. I don't use such words. Number three.

Okay. Number two. I'm not going to say number two. Why? Well, rappers say it. And it's the version of that word that ends an A. Oh, come on, don't be a little c-a about it. Starts with an end, ends with an A.

Starts with an N, ends with an A. Yeah, and it's not Nigeria. Nigeria? Not that. Okay. And the number one, most offensive words. that you can broadcast according to the broadcast and standards authority, it's the other N1, and I'm not going to say that either.

What's the other N1? The N1 that ends in an R. Same as the one that ends in an A, but if you ended it in an R. It's just a different abbreviation. If you end it in an R and a hard R on the end, it's worse than ending it in an A. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that?

I think, I mean, good rule to follow. Just don't say it. I think you're losing your job, whether you say the R or the A. I think, yeah, it doesn't really matter. Both pretty damn offensive. So there you go. There's the list of the most offensive words in 2020 sucks. I'm glad we haven't said any of them.

Oh, we would never. Nah. ZD.N's Branklinch. Big changes coming to the license set up in the country. You're not going to have to do two practical tests anymore. You're going to have to take one practical test, which means you get you restricted, I think, for a certain amount of time. And then eventually it just goes to a full license.

I go, congrats, you've done it long enough. Yeah, which a lot of people on the text machine are saying that's how it used to be. Back in the 80s and the 90s, they were saying back in the day in New Zealand, you took your test once. I mean, you do your theory test for your learners and then you take one practical test and you get your license. I guess if you've been signed off to drive, you've been signed off to drive. It's just weird. I feel like you should be testing people more. Like I feel like you should make it harder to have a driver's license.

I feel like, yeah, because I did one practical test. Yeah. And then they just go, here you go. You're good to go. Here's your license. And then they're like, you want to go and drive in New Zealand? Sweet is, off you go. Here's your license.

Yeah, up you go. Joel's here. We're trying to find New Zealand's longest restricted driver. Could that be you, Joel? Hi, Joel. Hello. How long you've been on your restricted? Oh, I've been on it for about, I'd say, four years now.

How old are you? I am 22. Okay. Are you excited about this news, Joel, that you're not going to have to do another test? Oh, I'm fizzing. It just gets me out of having to take that test again. How bloody good, Joel, you save some money, you just get your full license. Do you follow the rules?

Are you off the road by 10pm every night, Joel? Of course. I almost believe. No, wait, wait. I almost believe it. Oh wait, bring Joel back on, give him one more chance to make that seem more genuine. Yeah, Joel, do you follow the restricted rules? No passengers and home by 10pm?

Absolutely. The second one was better. It was mildly better. Liz is here. Hi, Liz. Hi, Liz. Hi. How long you've been on your restricted, Liz?

I'm 20 years. 20 years? Liz. 20 years? What have you been doing, Liz? You haven't had the time? I don't drive after 2 o'clock, so I didn't feel like I needed my full license. But do you take passengers?

No. I can take my family, but everyone's family. Hey. Everyone? Liz is like, Liz is like, they're my chosen family. Liz is like, they're my chosen family. family. Yeah, yeah, that's what you tell the police.

Okay, well, you'll be stoked about the rule change, won't you, Liz? Um, yes. No, no, actually, because I just got my full license at the end of last year. Oh, gutted. God, Liz. I know. You should have waited it out another year. Should have gone 21 years. Straight up, I should have.

I mean, I was responsible and I got it when I was 17. But, yeah, and then I thought, well, that's my goal. 17 and 37. Those are the brackets. 20 years to get you full. Rachel's here. Hi, Rachel. Hi, Rachel.

How long have you had your restricted license for, Rachel? Oh, this is so my topic. I've had it for 18 years. 18. And all of my friends or my younger siblings have all gone and got their full. And I have dug my heels in and said, I am not doing it. Like, I've already paid for my restricted. My dad gets so mad at me.

And I rang him yesterday and I said, oh my God, next year in February, I'm going to have my full life. You know what this just goes to show, Rachel? That's being stubborn. I was going to say, if you're stubborn enough, eventually it pays off. You argue with your dad so long that they changed the law. I know. I'm so happy.

That's amazing, Rachel. We're happy for you. Tanya's here. Hi, Tanya. Hi, Tanya. Hi. How's it going? We're good.

How long has your friend been on their restricted? Tanya. No, she was a little bit worse. She was on her learner's license. for about 30 years or more. 30 years. So obviously, every time she drove, she had you and the passenger seat as a fully licensed driver, Tanya.

She lives in a smaller, small town than me, and so she worked in hospitality and knew all the cops, and so she just never bothered. Amazing. Until a new cop came to town last year, and didn't know her, and pulled her up. Did she get booked? I think he threw the book at her,

but no, she went and just had to reset all her, tests and now she's on her restricted so even better she won't have to go and take another test. Boom! She's going to get her full soon. I know people like her, Tanya. They only get their driver's license so they have a form of ID for when they go into the bars and then once they have their learners

they're like, well, I'm all good now. Everyone knows I'm over 18. We're very old so when we first got our license it was the paper version so that was really, yeah. Wow, what was it like when the, hey Tanya what was it like when the Titanic sunk? Yeah, no, it won't.

Almost. She's this. Very joking, Darnia. Well, there you go. Congratulations to everyone who couldn't be bothered getting your full license. That's crazy. There's so many, so many texts. There's people that say they've had their restrictive for 27 years.

There's one person claiming they've had it for 50. Someone else saying 29. Anyway, great news for those people. They get their fools very soon. Dead M's Brean Clint podcast, The Tea, live from L.A. with D. McCarthy. This story rolls on The Brooklyn Beckham Nicola Peltz drama

And I didn't expect this But Nicola Pelt's billionaire father Has spoken out on the situation, Dean Hi, Dean I didn't expect this, hi guys I didn't expect it either actually So here's what happened He was doing a Wall Street Journal live

An Investment talk, right? So obviously this was not on the topic of the agenda His son and daughters, you know, family feud He was there to talk about being a billionaire But anyway, he got asked about it, of course, he said this. He said, my advice for my children, how has always been the same, stay the hell out of the press. You know, how much good does that do? He did then go on to say, look, my daughter and the beckons are a whole other story, but that's not for coverage today. He said, I will tell you this, my daughter's great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great, and I look forward to them having a long and happy marriage together.

So there's a couple of things here. He didn't say anything that he thinks the beckons are great in terms of David and Victoria. That's number one. Number two, he gives his daughter a million dollars a month allowance. So yeah, she's going to have a real great marriage because no one's leaving her. No one's leaving her. She could be a nightmare. She could be a hideous nightmare and ain't no one girl. I would be with her. Yeah.

I would marry her right now. I would do it. And number three, yeah, he didn't really dissolve the stories, but he did kind of like brush it off as much as he could. Yeah, interesting. Like I said, people have that level of wealth. They don't usually come down to the gossip level. so I'm surprised he said anything at all. But you're so good, Dean, at spotting the story in what he didn't say.

Like, that's the real story. He didn't acknowledge David or Victoria. But I think it's a good answer because he's acknowledged enough where people get enough of an answer so they leave him alone. Yeah, stop asking after that. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, you're right. What he didn't say is more telling than what he did say.

They should have asked him, yeah. Mr. Peltz, has Brooklyn cooked you any of his recipes for family dinner yet? And what were they like? Man, I keep seeing his cooking videos come up. He cooked some crap. It's just the most average stuff. I saw him cook a burger the other day.

It was just sauce and meat. It was meat, sauce and two pieces of cheese. I'm like, what is the recipe that I'm following? Yeah, Dave. I'll say something. Yeah. Guys, wife gets a million bucks a month. He doesn't need to cook a thing.

So stop cooking. Yeah, I don't understand. I don't think, look, I'm going to go out of the limb and say he doesn't have a natural knack. Yeah, yeah. For cooking. That's the T with Dean McCarthy. The ZDM Podcast Network.

I want to talk about this guy named Kowesi Adofo Mensa. He was the general manager of the NFL team, the Minnesota Vikings. Oh, yeah. But recently he was let go, I believe, in the last week or so. Okay. And there's a lot of chat about why he got let go, and most people are saying it's because, the Vikings haven't done very well over the last how many years, which is probably the case.

But it's also brought up this story from 2023 when he took paternity leave when his first child was born. So apparently he missed two weeks of the Minnesota Vikings training camp, meetings, practices, and he was working remotely during that time to support his partner, obviously through the birth. for their first kid and to be there, you know, where it's pretty like hectic. And fairly significant as far as life events go. Absolutely, massively significant. What's his job?

He's not the coach. The general manager. General manager. So pretty big job. Yeah. But it's interesting the conversation that it started around the NFL because there's a lot of coaches and players that will openly say, no, I'm not going to the birth of my kid because I've got to play.

Really? Yeah. So quite famously, the coach of the bills, the team the bills, his name's Joe Brady, told reporters that his wife had given birth while he was coaching in a game. Okay. And he said, this job demands sacrifice. I'm calling you on the way to a game while you're going into Labor, apparently. And he's like, that's just it is what it is.

She knew that I couldn't be there if it was during a game. Well, those are their priorities, I guess. That's wild to me, though. Because the other way around of looking at it is being a parent involves a lot of sacrifices. Of course. So they have clearly prioritised their job over their family, which is going to be a hard one to reconcile because the job's not forever. Like, obviously, you know, certain circumstances,

sometimes these things happen and people miss the birth, you know? If you are... I'm trying to think of where I would... Where I would... My co-hosts of Celebrity Treasure Island, Matt Chisholm, is the birth of his second son, I think it was. He was overseas filming season two of New Zealand Survivor. Oh, okay.

I believe. I thought you were going to say Treasure Island. No, no, no, no. He was never... I feel like you wouldn't have let him. No, I really wouldn't have. I'd be like, you go, I can host by myself. Is there a situation where, like...

Because you're a coach of a team, the team's going to play again, there's always going to be another game. And the thing is... But what if it's like a Super Bowl? Oh. See, that's where you go, oh man, I really mischeduled the creation of this child. I think there needs to be maybe a conversation then. Yeah.

Because that could be a once in a lifetime, but so's the birth of your kid. Totally. All blacks don't go on tour because they're expecting children. That's, yeah. I feel like it's becoming more common these days where... where, you know, especially sports players are prioritising the birth of their children. Like in the NRL, you hear a lot of stories about players being like, I can't play because my wife's going to give birth.

Yeah. Like, you hear those stories a lot where they're like, no, I can't. It'd be more weird to catch a player in the post-match interview, and he's like, oh, shout out to my wife. She's currently giving birth to our child. I feel like everyone would be like, that's awful. Like, why weren't you there? Yeah, yeah.

Who was the player literally at the end of last year that said no to going on tour with the Australian rugby league team? That's right. Who was that? I can't remember who it was. I remember seeing something in that story. And he's like, I can't go because it's during the time where my wife is going to give birth. Yeah. I thought we could ask this afternoon, have you missed the birth?

Yeah. On purpose or by mistake? Or did your partner miss the birth? Yeah. Yeah. Or do you want to call out? your partner for missing the birth? And did they tell you, hey, I'm not coming

because I've got this to do? Or did you say to them, hey, it's all good, it's the fifth child, you go and... This is more important. You've seen it four times. We don't know the circumstances. No.

We don't know the circumstances. No. And the circumstances do come into it. I know for me I wouldn't miss it. What if your team made it to the Super Bowl? Am I in the team or do I support the team? No, I was going to say, coach the team, but let's go further.

Let's say you're in the team playing. I'm in the team. And your team made it to the Super Bowl. Might be the only one you ever go to. We'll see, I don't. I would like to think I would still choose the birth of the child. You're not choosing the birth. Okay, wait.

If it's the first one, I feel like a lot harder decision. What if it's like the second child? Well, hey, you're going to make second child feel bad. I am a second child. We already feel bad. O-A-Handreda-M or text 9-6. with the reason you or they missed the birth of the child. We'd love to hear it this afternoon.

It's ZDM's Brie and Clint Podcast. Did they miss the birth on purpose or by accident? For a work commitment, for a social commitment. Yeah, things happen. For a drinking commitment. Imagine. You told the story about the NFL general manager who has been sacked. And the rumors are because he took time off for the birth of his children.

child? They're saying it didn't help when his contract came up for renewal and they were like, well why did you take two weeks off as for the birth of your first kid? Someone texted him to say that the NFL pays all spouses medical bills for a birth and with that is the expectation

that you'll keep working. Well that's silly. Yeah. I mean, that's great that they pay the bills but you can't get that time back. Here's an example. Here's a homegrown example for us that someone has texted in because we said we don't think that, well, I don't think I would miss the birth for anything.

And someone said, come on, guys. What about Mitch Barnett from the Warriors? He missed his second child's birth due to state of origin commitments. If he didn't play, he wouldn't have got paid and that money helps to pay the bills. Yeah, but it makes sense. It's the second child. No one cares at that point. You know what I mean?

I guarantee you, if that was his first kid, he would have been there. his first state of origin? I mean, yes. I think it was. I think it was second kid or first state of origin. You're like, well, I've never done this one. I've been there for the first birth. Babe, I may never get another state of origin. You never know, babe. I've got to go. My husband missed the birth of our son. His boss's wife, dairy farmers, told him he wasn't allowed to have Christmas off. My son came that day because her husband had never had it off. My son came that day because her husband had never had it off. My son was born at 7.30m on Christmas Day and he wasn't there.

God, Murphy's Law. So she didn't let your husband have it off because her husband had never had it off. Yeah, but she's given birth, so I feel like the other guy takes, you know, priority in that case. And then this is the other perspective. Someone said, guys, the amount of stories rich and famous people on their deathbeds tell who would have given it all up for more times with their families would blow. your mind. It's so true. Like, I reckon people

would have regrets, you know, and when you're wrapped up in something and you're making... Yeah, you're making... Yeah, and you're making those decisions. I reckon, yeah, a lot of people would look back and go, I should have been there. And I don't mean to scare people, but what if the worst happens and you're not there?

You know? Yeah. My dad was busy watching Coronation Street or my mum was giving birth to their fifth child in the other room. Home birth, clear to say they had no more kids. Depends. Was it like the summer cliffhanger?

Because I mean that is hard to walk away from. Coronation Street. There must have been before On Demand, eh? Yeah. Yeah, true. What about this? My dad missed my birth because he was playing golf. But hey, back then it would have been very hard to get a hold of him.

They would have had to send a smoke signal. Can you imagine he's out at golf? Yeah. And finally, when someone ended up telling him, Hey, you know. Yeah. I mean, also, should he have been uncontactable if his wife's that pregnant? Well, it sounds like it was pre-cell phones.

Can you imagine how annoyed those guys would have been once they got cell phone reception on the golf course? Because that's plausible deniability then. You go, well, babe, of course I didn't. No, I was out playing golf. All the golf courses that have no signal are the most hard to get into. You know? They're the most popular golf courses. All the guys want to get into those ones.

have twins and my husband missed one being born naturally because he was trying to park the car and then the second was an emergency caesarian so he wasn't allowed to be in the room. Parked out so he missed both. Parking the car sucks because he was doing the right thing. Yeah, that's

really, really shitty. What about this? My first child labour was 12 hours. My second child labor was three hours. Husband went to work for the second one. See, the second baby. It's over it. I had the second baby in the hospital. car park an hour later.

My nana rang my husband when I had her. It all happened very fast. Yeah, wow. Well, yeah, he would have thought, oh. I'll go to work. I'll do an eight hour shift. Punch out a few hours. And then I'll come back and you'll just be wrapping things up. I'll meet you there. Nah.

My brother missed the birth, but he showed up afterwards. Drunk. Ha ha ha. It was New Year's. Here you go. What about this? I wish my husband. husband had a miss my kid's birthday. Birthday?

I guess that's the birth. Yeah, birth. Birthday. He was a pain in my ass. Well, there you go. Each to their own. A ZM's Breinclint podcast. Let's play Google Down.

Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Brie and Clint's Google Down, punk. All right, here we go. Google Down time. This is where we figure out who is the fastest Googler in the team, and they're playing for you guys if you've text through their name to

9696, 50 KFC chicken dollars on the line. I'll be ready. I'm ready. I got a bit nervous today. First person to yell out the correct answer. I'll award you a point first to three wins. Why are you nervous? I don't know.

Because I lost last week and there was just like a lot of pressure. That's right. You did lose. It's okay. Let's see if we can make it two in a row. She's not used to losing. I'm not. Very unfamiliar.

I'll let you know some techniques to deal with it. From an expert. I've got quite a lot of experience. Here comes question number one. What number annual Grammy Award ceremony was held this week? 68. What the heck? That was in my brain.

No freaking way. I was on your toes. A guess? No. Knowledge. I knew it. That's very impressive. Same thing.

Because it wasn't 69, I remember. Guess, knowledge. Oh, right. One and the same. Well done, Claude. Thank you. One point to you. Question number two.

Who is Tom Hanks married to? Rita Wilson. Rita Wilson. Damn it, Claudia. Go away. Jenny. Jenna. Rita Wilson is correct.

Run, forest, run. God, Claudia's off to a flyer. They're the gold standard, right, in Hollywood couples? Yeah. They've been together long time. They're married in 1988. Hell of a long time. Question number three.

Clint Ellie, you need this one to stop, Claudia. Tom Hanks wasn't in the Epstein Files, was he? No, I don't know. Tom Hanks would never. Would never. Tom Hanks is an angel. Question number three, who invented DJing? Oh, crap.

DJ Cool Hirk. She's done it in three. DJ Cool Herc, otherwise known as Clive Campbell. apparently is given the title to have invented the first turntable. Good honour. No, not turntable, but...

Yeah, that device, though, to DJ. Yeah, right. I thought you'd know that, Clint. Yeah, it's quite embarrassing to lose that to Claudia, to be honest. Which means Rachel, you backed in Claudia and you get the 50 KFC chicken dollars. Nice work. Woo! The champ is back and I love KFC.

She's going to be a solo mum of three little boys. Oh, God, I hope she wins. They'll be live on our show next week, Zim's Million Dollar Summer. I want to talk about racist dogs for a second.

I'm new to dog ownership. Well, new-ish. I've had my dog for just over a year. We adopted a three-year-old golden retriever towards the end of 24. And so I'm learning a lot about dogs. I've never had a dog before.

It's my first ever dog. There's a lot to learn. There's a lot to learn. And I love it. I love being a dog. I hate this too. I love being a dog dad. But I have noticed in my time

of having a dog and walking the dog every day that there are certain breeds of dog that my dog hates more than others. Right. What does he do? He's pretty good. Like he's pretty tame most of the time. Pretty go with the flow.

He's a very friendly, good-natured dog until he sees a husky. The second he sees a husky, he goes feral. Like his growl changes and his teeth come out and he pulls on the leash and he just goes berserk. And it's not for all dogs. It's just for huskies. Not that uncommon, I would say. With huskies specifically. No, no, no.

I'm not saying that all dogs hate huskies. Imagine it was universal. That's what I was wondering. All other breeds hate huskies. No, I think dogs have such good memories, and if they have a bad interaction, let's say your dog had a bad interaction with a husky one time. Automatically now, your dog will believe that every husky is bad,

or is that husky that, you know, he didn't have a good interaction with. That's so strange to me, because I thought they were so scent-driven that they could tell dogs apart. But they just... Yeah, because my dog's the exact same. My dog, Whitney Houston, the little one, hates any black dogs.

She's a black dog. She hates black dogs, God, that's worse than mine. I know. Mainly black labs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Black labs are her kryptonite, and it's because she got attacked by a black lab one time. Right, so that's the association.

So she's like, oh, my God. So she's fine with a golden lab and a chocolate lab? Yeah, it doesn't really... Oh, the brown, the brown lab. Well, their spectrum of colour is not that good. You probably sees brown and black as the same thing. Yeah, like a, yeah, like a, you know, a white lab. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's like, fine with. Claudia, you're a dog owner. You've got a Japanese spitz. Sure do. Any racism in that dog? There's one kind of dog where on two separate occasions, the meeting of this kind of dog, they popped out of a bush suddenly.

so now he's got this deep mistrust of Frenchies. French bulldogs. He thinks they grow on trees. Like he just every time he sees one, he uses one particular bush. He'd walk past and be like, it's going to jump out of me. I know there's a French bulldog in there.

It's crazy how good their memory is, eh? We're getting so many texts on this come through. Someone said, guys, my dog hates huskies too. Someone said, guys, my dog is actually racist against people. He also hates people in wheelchairs as well. I feel like dogs just get a little bit scared because they're like, I don't know what that is, you know? My dog hates anybody in a mobility scooter.

Interesting. Here's one. We had a German Shepherd. He could not stand chocolate labs, golden labs, just no labs. Wow. Someone said, because I said my golden retriever hates Husky. Someone said huskies are part wolf. So most dogs will react to a husky.

All dogs are part. And I thought that too. Yeah. But I guess Husky's look more part wolf, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Our question for you this afternoon is, what type of dog is your dog racist towards? What is the breed of your dog?

And what's the breed that they just can't see Idaho? They're like, I don't trust this breed. They need to get him out. I really don't trust those French bull dogs. Z.D.N's brain Clint. We're talking about racist dogs. The breed of dog that your dog cannot see eye to eye with, my golden retriever has it in for huskies.

Like goes feral, changes into a different dog the second he sees a husky. Even if the husky's not... What was that? Something fell from the chair. Oh. You're right? We're doing a radio show here. Oh, it was a big noise in the background.

Got a fright. Anyway, racist dogs. My dog's racists to huskies. What was your dog races to? Black Lad. Black Labs. Doesn't like him, doesn't trust him. Claudia's dog hates the French, Bulldogs. So we want to know what's the dog for your dog.

Jenny's here. Hi, Jenny. Hi, Jenny. Oh, hey. You got a racist dog, Jenny? Yeah, I like to call it Breedist. Breedest. Breedest. Breedest.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that, Jenny. What breeds in particular? Well, there's only one other breed apart from themselves that they like, which is a Westie, a West Highland White. Otherwise, everything else at a dog show just wants to take them on. Wait, so Jenny, you've got Westies. No, oh, no, I've got a Scottish terrier.

Okay. And they only like Westies. Pretty much. Yeah. I have to Google what, because I'm not, I'm new to being a dog guy, I had to Google what a West Highland White was. It's literally, um, fancy-faced dog. It's literally related to my dog, is it?

A can terrier. The other dog on the can of fancy-faced. Yeah, the West Highland Whites are. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would your dog like my dog being a canned terrier because they're pretty close? It could do, actually. Yeah.

Interesting. Yeah, but otherwise anything else, like Scottish terriers, nah. They just don't really like anything apart from a Westie. Well, what an elitist dog you've got, Jenny. I know. But I think it's because they've grown up as pals like with Harrods. Yeah. Okay, very good.

Thank you for that. Kate's here. Hi, Kate. Hi, Kate. Hi, how are you? Good. You've got a racist English springer spaniel. Yes, yes, very racist.

Towards which breeds? Just one breed and it's the golden retrievers. My dog. I know. Your dog and my dog would not like each other. That's such a friendly dog, the golden retriever. What's your English springer spaniel got against my golden retriever, Kate? I do not know.

He loves all other. dog, he goes to the dog park and he'll see a golden retriever and do the sniff and then that's it, the growls that he'll grow up, oh, I don't know. It's so weird. It's so weird they have the one that they

have just picked. They go, that's the one, that's the dog that I'm not, that I'm not vibing with. Thanks, Kate. Let's go to Anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Hi, How are you? Good, thanks. Welcome to the racist dog chat. What are you got and what do they hate? I've got a GSP and he hates little white fluffy dogs. He talks his big and peas on.

them. He pees on them. What's a GSP? German shorthead pointer. German shorthead pointer. And so you're talking about those white fluffy cloud dogs. God, he's really marking his territory on those dogs anonymous. He just, yeah.

I'm a little bit racist towards the fluffy cloud dogs, like the Pomeranians and stuff. Come on, they're right? I like the white fluff. There's a lot of good, like, Shih Tzu's are such fantastic nature dogs. Yeah. And really nice dogs. Yeah. They just don't walk that far.

Which is, I mean, sometimes a good thing anonymous when you feel tired. Yeah, true. My mate Dan's a farmer and he's got a Pomeranian. And I'm like, what are you doing? Get a farm dog. It's wet for a farm dog. Yeah. Pomeranians could round up some cattle.

I mean, it would take them longer. Someone texted and said, guys, my chickens are horribly racist. Okay? How are the chickens racist? My dog hates anyone in a hat, even if it's me. Yeah, dogs don't like Some dogs get really nervous With people in hats

Because they can't see your face as well Really? Yeah My dog hates white rubbish bags He was scared by one as a puppy So Binday is always fun for us You've got to get on the big black sacks My dog, Meryl Streep The Rescue

She really doesn't like it When people wear bright colours either Really? Yeah, it scares her God, you can't walk past roadworks Then can you? Oh, she'll go off She'll go off her head

My dog is a Jack Russell cross-border collie. She hates Jack Russell's. I don't know what to make of this. There's a bit of South Loathing going on. Race to her own kind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My dog's a mixed breed. She looks a bit like a hunterway,

but she really dislikes schnauzers. And I think it's because of their eyebrows. The eyebrows are unsettling. You know? Yeah. I mean, they are the cutest thing ever on a schnauzer, but I get it. You know, they're kind of very,

prominent on the face. My mate's beagle hates all non-beagle dogs. So that's elitist. That's when they're only into their own breed. Yes. Isn't it? Someone said, My Labrador, like a hippie, he doesn't discriminate against any dogs. He just wants everyone to get along.

Oh, that's sweet. Not a dog, but my cat is a racist towards our flat-faced Persians that we have. Yeah, it's because she knows they're expensive and you spent more on those cats than her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's the thing as old as time, dog versus cat. My dog hates old men.

How does a dog know how old the person is? Smell. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, they smell like Werther's original. And mothballs. Yum. Oh, 800 dollars at M if you want to play birthday banger with us this afternoon, we're looking for three people.

Brings back a lot of memories. Oh, yeah. Samples the Beatles, the song. I'd love to hear some of those memories. Does that? Yeah. The violin and the strings at the start of it are from Eleanor Rigby, the Beatles song. I can imagine John Lennon would have loved.

The fact. We don't say John Legend. Yeah, I know. It just was in my brain. He's the fifth beetle. I corrected myself. I did it. I said John Lennon.

Very good. We're going to choose between Cisco B-52s and Chingi. What's it going to be, Thomas L? Thong song, Cisco for me. De Thong song? Yeah, that's my vote. Yeah, I agree. I'm going to go with you.

Or the thong song? Or Cisco thong song. Someone said, I wonder how the Beatles would feel, knowing they are sampled in the same song that has the lyrics. She had dumps like a truck, truck, truck, very on brand for them. I think it's a fantastic lyric. Well, one of them would have had to sign it off. True.

Yeah. Unless Michael Jackson signed it off. Does he own a lot of the Beatles back catalog? Yeah. Well, yeah, he would have been still around with Cisco Thong song. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hey, next member I was talking about.

I had some role model news for you guys. He's one of the big names playing Laneway tomorrow afternoon. You're going to tell us who Sally's going to be. You said you know for sure. There's a lot of chat around who Sally is. Well, Hillary Barry came out today on social media and was like, guys, it's not me. She's removed herself from the list. Yeah.

So I will reveal what I know about Sally after the break. It's ZAM's Bree and Clint podcast. Laneway goes down tomorrow in Auckland. The girlies are very excited here at ZM. We're so excited. We've all taken the day off. That's how much it means to us. All three of you will be at Laneway tomorrow.

Brie, Ella, Claudia. I'll be here doing the show by myself. And I'm okay with that. You guys go off. Have a great time. Go off, Queens. Go off Queens. You're the best Clint.

I said to you guys last week that I had some role model news that I wanted to share. And you won't say anything. Well, I didn't. I didn't. And that was intentional because I knew if I said what I was going to say. that you would demand proof, you would want evidence of what I'm about to say. Okay, so have you got the proof now?

So now I have the proof. I know it's the day before, but I now have the proof. What is the big conversation about Laneway? The big conversation, especially around role model, is who's going to be Sally? Because role model always brings out someone from that country or that area onto the stage when he performs Sally. A big deal, local female celebrity.

The big rumor has been Hillary, Barry. Everyone's going, it's going to be Hillary Barry. She's put those rumours to bed today on social media. She said no. She posted on Facebook, just three words. She just posted, I'm not Sally. So who the hell's going to be then? Some people are like, oh,

it's a double bluff. She is silly. Could be. I know for a fact that it's not Hillary Barry. How do you know that? How do you know? Reveal your sources immediately? I can't reveal my source. I can't reveal my source because this has come to me

So this has gone to someone that I know this information And this person has then shared it with me Okay? Do they know you're sharing it on air? Yes. Okay. But they said just don't implicate me. It's not free me.

They said, hey, this is information that is useful to you. Just don't implicate me in it, okay? Who is it? This is a piece of audio that my person, my friend, has been sent about role model and who Sally will be at Laneway. Hey, I'm a scaffolder and me and the boys were putting they were doing some dress rehearsals for like the lighting and the sound and stuff.

Everything was like a position and then you Thomasel from the TV, she's on the radio as well. Brie Tomicel. Brie Tomicel? No comment. What's say thee, Bree? I don't know who has given you this information, but I am not in a position to make any comment and we need to finish this breakup right now. Who's your source, Clint? I cannot reveal my source.

Who is it? Who is this? I cannot reveal my source. Why did you tell us, Bree? But I can reiterate that. Oh, it was that Aussie. Tomorrow afternoon at Laneway. You will see Bree Tomasel in a pair of cowboy shorts.

A little daisy jukes and cowboy boots. Dancing around the stage with role model. I'm just going to say this and this only. Giddy up. How you welcome? Thanks for that. It's a brilliant close. Appreciate it.

I need to go make some phone calls so I don't get sued. Alice Mouth, Alice Jora is on the floor. She's, look. I'm confused. I don't know if this is real or not. You look disappointed, actually. You do look quite disappointed. It's ZM's Breinclint podcast.

We just dropped the bombshell that Sally, tomorrow at Laneway, during the role model set. None other than Bree Thomas L. Allegedly. Blown this shit wide. Yeah, she's not allowed to comment because she's signed a contract. But I didn't sign anything.

I haven't signed anything so I can say whatever I want. Who's your source? I will not reveal my source. Reveal it. They'll lose their job. It's bad enough that I've played the audio from the scaffolder who's put the stage up

who saw you down there yesterday. No comment. After the show. No comment. No comment. Someone texted in and said, guys, that's why she got the full head of highlights.

Shut. Guys, it all makes. I haven't even got the highlights yet. It's like Russell Crow in a beautiful mind. Everything is just starting to fall into place. God, you're kind of fine to get those highlights. Shut up. Are you getting them tomorrow morning?

Yeah, yeah. Booked in tomorrow morning. Is that way you need the whole day off? Yeah, the whole day, bright and early. You want to talk about this study that I read? Nah, I want to talk about this. Nah, go on, talk about you. This is the headline that I read on the Herald today.

It said research shows, Losing a pet can be as painful as losing a parent. Really? That was the headline on the NZ Herald today from psychology writer, Mark Wilson. And he's talking about this study that was done in the UK where about a thousand people were surveyed. And essentially they asked a couple of different questions. So they had all lost someone close to them, like a human family member. and that could have been like sibling, parent.

I don't know if grandparents are included, but close. Immediate family. Yeah. And the other question was, have you lost a pet, a dog mainly? Yeah. They were researching. Anyway, turns out almost all of these people, I think it was about 21% said that the loss of their pet

was the most upsetting loss that ever experienced. And these people have lost a parent as well. Well, I don't know if it's a parent, but they lost like a... A family member. A family member. Oh, my God. Okay.

So, for more than one in five people that have had both the experience of losing like a close family member and a pet, they found the pet loss more distressing. More? In some cases. Yeah, it says, one in five. If me and the dog died in a car crash and my wife was more upset about the dog,

I'd be devastated. Of course you would be when you're not going to know. I'd mourn her. If my kids were more gutted about losing the dog than losing their dad, then... I mean, yeah, that would be quite disturbing. I guess maybe it says more about what type of dad you are. But essentially what the study found is that people can have prolonged bereavement. For an animal. For an animal. Like, it's a very real thing. Yeah.

I think that headline is quite... Inflammatory. Inflammatory. But I do believe... I remember when we lost my childhood dog, Bella, who was 17 when she passed away. I reckon my mum, like, she at least cried for two weeks, but all of us mourned the death of that animal...

Of course you do. Of course you don't. For years. No. You know? Yeah. But, yeah, quite an interesting study. I guess it needs to come into it
