ZM's Brie and Clint. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the Brie and Clint show. There's a song you're going to hear tomorrow. Isn't it? Charli XCX. Charli XCX. How wild is it that she literally was performing at the Grammys?

Not yesterday, day before? Yeah. And then she's in New Zealand now. She would have had to, so she would have probably had a little sleepy sleep after the Grammys. And then she would have had to get on the plane the next morning to come here. Because if you think it takes a whole day to fly here,

and she's not going to land here on the day of. Nah, she'd be here already. She's here now. Yeah, she'll be here. Surely. Wild to think, eh? What do you think Charlie XCX is doing in New Zealand right now? Oh, she'd be at Duck Island, eh?

Yeah, she'd head down to Duck Island probably. For an ice cream? Get a two-piece feed at KFC. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But you can do both of those things on Ponsonby Road. Yeah. Yeah.

And then probably just hang out. Yeah. So brat. So brat. Just hang out. Yeah. That's so brat. So brat. Just hang out. So brat. She would hit Eagle Bar on K Road. Oh, do you reckon?

Maybe, and then head over to Family Bar. Oh, yeah, okay. That's so brat. Sing a song in Saloon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then go to bed. And then go to the Viaduct. Yeah, and probably, she would probably also buy some nangs on K Road and then go home.

No, she's definitely going to Denny Dorland's. Oh, yeah, Denny Dorland's. She's definitely going to going Danny Dolan's. Oh, yeah, Danny Dolan's. She's definitely going to Danny Dolan's. Yeah, yeah. We'll be listening, Charlie. Hi. We love you. Text us.

We'll give you the hotline number so you can call up and we can chat and catch up and, you know, stuff. That would be super brat of you. That would be so brat if you did that. We have a fun show. We only have 16 dishes left in Dish of the Nation. 16 dishes have been eliminated. In fact, have we just opened round three of the voting, Ella?

Has that just gone live or is it just about to go live on the Bree and Clint Instagram story? It's about to, baby. It's about to go live. It's part of my daily routine now. Yes, it's the quarterfinal. So we had the opening two rounds. We now have 16 dishes left.

These 16 will become eight. Those eight will become four. Those eight will become four. Those four will become two. And then we will have the winner. There will only be one left standing. God, I'm excited. I'm so invested. It's still early days too.

Everyone's invested. The Prime Minister's invested. Okay. First things first, Tradie versus Lady. Scores are level. It's six apiece. Do you want to play? And when you sell $50 cash. Bree and Clint. Time for Tradie vs. Lady. Scores are level. It's six apiece. Do you want to play?

And when you sell $50 cash... Bree and Clint. Time for Tradie vs. Lady. It's Tradie vs. Lady. Three, two, one, let's go. Yes, welcome along to Tradie vs. Lady, where the scores set a level again. Six apiece.

Six apiece. Six apiece. Six apiece. Our lady's calling from Palmerston North. She's 32, and she went to Disneyland when she was seven, and she hasn't been overseas since. Welcome to the show, Jen. Hi, Jen. Hi, how's it going?

Wait, so the first time you went overseas, you went to Disneyland? Yeah, I think so. I remember I've been to Australia a couple of times, but that was before I was given, and yeah, I haven't been out of the country. Oh, what a letdown that would have been. Yeah. I know.

Is that where you were like, well, I've been to Disneyland, I don't need to go anywhere else. Palmerston North is fine. Oh, I mean, Palmerston North is not that great, but... You got Port Tropill. Yeah, you got the square. Yeah. Yeah, the square, which, I mean, is that still under construction?

The square? Yeah. Oh, here in the end. Or was it that big statue of that guy? Remember the last time we were there? We were like, oh, let's go to blah, blah, blah. We need to get this shot. And it was all under construction.

Oh, no, that was in Invercargill. Was it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God, I'm getting my cities crossed. We need to do another road trip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God, I'm getting my cities crossed. We need to do another road trip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go to our tradie from Hamilton. He's 25 and he is fizzing for footy season to start.

G'day, Rhys. Hi, Rhys. How's it? What type of footy, Rhys? Rugby league. Rugby league. This is rugby league. Who do you play for?

Give him a shout out, Rhys. I don't play for anyone. Unfortunately, my knees don't agree with me. Oh, you want the NRL to kick off. Who's your team? Yeah. Up the Waz. Up the Waz.

Up the Waz. It's our year. What about in State of Origin, Rhys? Up the Blues. Unfortunately, Rhys has dropped off, and that means Jen has taken... No, I'm just kidding. Rhys, your buzz is tradie. Jen, your lady, first to three wins tradie versus lady.

Good luck, guys. Here we go, guys. Question number one. Tomorrow is a public holiday, but what for? Lady. I'm going to say Jen just... Jen by a nose, yeah. That would be Waitangi Day.

Waitangi Day. Yes, marks the anniversary of the initial signing of the treaty. Well done. One point to the ladies. Question number two. Who is headlining the Laneway Festival in Auckland tomorrow? Lady. Yes, Jen.

Is it Charlie XCX? It sure is. It's Charlie XCX. That's correct. I was busy thinking about boys. Going to be huge. Two to the ladies, none to the tradies. You need this one, Rhys.

Come on, mate. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Lady. Rhys. I didn't even say my name. Oh, then it'd have to be Gin then. It would be Nelly.

That's Nelly. Well done. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh to be Jen then. It would be Nelly. That's Nelly. Well done. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. I will not hear allegations of match fixing. I swear to God I heard Rhys go, Trini. But he didn't. And he was very honest about it, and we appreciate it.

Good on you, Rhys. You're a good sport. Jen, what a ripper. You're a Trini vs. Lady champion. Awesome. Thanks, guys. Well done, Jen. Get some cream. You're all Trainee First Lady champion. Awesome. Thanks, guys. Well done, Jen. Get some cream.

You're all over that like a rash. We're going to dig into these battles a little bit later in the show, but the round three of Dish of the Nation voting is open, and it's hot. It's hot. I'm just so interested. I love seeing what collectively people vote for. Yeah.

And I'm quite shocked sometimes. Hokey Pokey Ice Cream is beating Sausage Rolls, which I'm not necessarily surprised about. Oh, God, it's Sausage Rolls for me over Hokey Pokey Ice Cream. It's 50-50 on Marmite Chippy Sandwich versus Custard Square. Literally 50-50. I mean, Sausage Rolls is 46. Hokey Pokey Ice Cream is 54.

They could come back. It's so early. It's been open for 19 minutes. Yeah. Anyway, we had an incredible amount of votes in round two. The more votes we get, the more fair the result is. So go and do it, okay? You can do it at your desk.

You can do it on the bus. Not while you're driving. And then you can also vote on our thing at Brian Clint on Instagram. Perfect. I want to talk about this next story because it's very cute and a record has been sent. Uh-huh. Which I do love a record and a woman

by the name of Pauline Richards from Somerset in the UK has a new title. Okay. Because she has set the record for the world's longest serving KFC worker. Oh, okay. Longest ever serving worker at KFC. She's taken it off someone else, an American employee.

He's going to be ropeable about it. The Colonel. The Colonel. She has worked at the fast food chain. What do you reckon? How many years? I'm trying to think when KFC would have launched in the UK. 1970s.

So surely she's got maximum of 50 years. I'm going to say she's been at KFC for 40 years. 40 years. I just want to do the math on this. So she, hold on. So what's the year 2025? Yeah. Minus this.

KFC opened in the UK in 1965. She's been there since 1978, which is 47 years. Wow. She has been a solid KFC employee, has never left, like she's been there the whole time. She's done a bunch of different jobs and the BBC actually did a story on this woman

because she's become a celebrity in the town where she works. And people apparently call her, she's got a nickname, Mrs Chicken. Mrs Chicken. Chicken. Mrs. Chicken. Is her nickname. Cute.

Do you think after 47 years you know the secret herbs and spices? You'd think at 50 years they'd give you the recipe. Does she know the 11 secret herbs and spices? Either that or you've just figured it out. Like you've been there for 47 years. I feel like you'd have to. You know? What I was interested to know is someone who's worked there for 47 years,

I was interested to know what her favourite, like what her order for KFC is. Yeah, definitely. And does she still eat it? Yeah. If anyone knows KFC, it's someone who's worked there for 47 years. So Pauline Richards, I've done some digging, and apparently she said her favourite food from KFC is a Zinger burger and mashed potato and gravy. She's one of the people.

That's her order. She's one of us. Yep. You chuck a couple of Wicked Wings in there. On the side. And that's my perfect KFC order. Yeah. What about chips?

A few chippies, yeah? A few chippies, yeah. You've got to have the chippies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'll just dip my Wicked Wings. That's fine. Oh, that's a good time, isn't it? A few chippies, yeah. You've got to have the chippies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'll just dip my wicked wings. That's fine. Oh, that's a good time, isn't it? Yeah.

That is a good time. I thought we could put it out there. I love hearing stories like this of people who have, I would say, served a business for many, many years. It might be you. It might be someone you know. Maybe someone you work with. I got 10 years at a radio station once.

That's pretty good. Do you get anything for that? Yeah, I got sent to another radio station. Oh, that's good time. What about you? Nah. I mean, every workplace I've worked at, I've worked at for a long time. Yeah. But it hasn't been a decade. We're too young to rack up these kind of numbers. Yeah, I mean, every workplace I've worked at, I've worked at for a long time. Yeah.

But it hasn't been a decade. We're too young to rack up these kind of numbers. Yeah, I think so. So it might not be you. It might be your dad or a grandparent or somebody. But maybe it's you. Long Service Awards. That's what we want to hand out this afternoon.

Exactly. Long Service Awards. Do you know someone? 0800 DIAL ZM or you can text us on 9696. Or does it just feel like you've been at your job for 47 years? That's Backbone on ZM. And that's what we're looking for.

We're looking for Backbones of the company this afternoon. Oh, no, give him a clap. That was... Stand up, producers. See? And that's what years of radio experience, that's what years of radio experience, that's what you can achieve.

You can achieve a Segway like that one. Stop. Stop. Stop. Hey! No, I'm just kidding. Speech. Oh, okay.

Anyway, sorry, guys. We are talking about people who have spent a lot of time at one place after a woman by the name of Pauline Richards has received the title of world's longest serving KFC worker. 47 years. Incredible. Amazing stuff. She's done every job in the place. She has been at KFC longer than both of us have been alive.

Literally. That is impressive. I wonder how much free chicken she's taken home over that time. Because my brother used to work at KFC and the amount of chicken he would bring home at the end of a shift. How good. Oh my God. How good. You'd never go hungry.

And he didn't. Yeah, I bet. So we want to know what's your long service? We're handing out long service awards this afternoon. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hey, how are you? Good, thank you.

Is it you that's been at a workplace for a long time? I have. I'll be 25 years this year at Auckland and Starship Hospital. Wow. That's incredible. You, yeah, you deserve a proper award. That's, yeah. I don't think you get something proper as a public servant. No, you don't proper award. That's, yeah. I don't think you get something proper as a target servant.

No, you don't. You might get a morning tea. Yeah, and a badge. I got one for 20 years. Oh, a badge is nice. A bloody pay rise would be good, wouldn't it, Anonymous? No way. And deserved.

And free coffee. And free coffee. Oh, free coffee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Free coffee for the people that work in the hospital Come on Do you not get free coffee, Anonymous? Oh, well, if you want to Actually, I can't say that

If you want to drink nice coffee, then no, it's not free Yeah, I see what you mean We hear you, Anonymous Okay, well, congratulations and thank you very much for 25 years Thank you for your service Let's go to Brendan Hi, Brendan Hi, Brendan

Good, thank you This is your brother-in-law's dad that's had some long service. Yeah, definitely. He's been working at Air New Zealand since he was 17 and he's 77 now. Whoa! Holy smokes! 60 years!

60 years at Air New Zealand. Brendan, he would have staff travel for life, wouldn't he? You'd hope so. Was he there when air travel was invented? I reckon so, but never tell him to his face. Wait, could you ask him what the Wright brothers were like? Yeah, maybe ask him yourself.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, shugger not. I mean, I wouldn't have the guts to ask him to his face. We've got a text. See if you can get this person on, Claude. Someone's just texted and said, I worked with that KFC lady, the 47 years at KFC lady. She is lovely.

That is wild because that's over in the UK. Long Service Awards. Jesse's here. Hi, Jesse. Hi, Jesse. How are you going? We're good. Thanks.

Who gets the Long Service Awards? Well, we all call him Popper at work because he's just completed his 50 years as a plumber in our company. 50 years plumbing for one company. Yeah, he started when he was 24 and he's just retired at 74. That's a good innings. How's the knees on the old boy? Oh, yeah. There's not much hair there, but he can still do a bit of things around home.

You guys have got to get down in some awkward positions as plumbers. That's impressive to do that for that long. So what did he do? 50 years, no one has laid more cable than that guy. Yeah. He's laying pipe. Yeah, plumber. Oh, laying pipe.

Yeah, yeah, right. The Sparkies are laying cable. These boys are laying pipe. That sounds like it would hurt. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, laying pipe. Yeah, yeah, right. The Sparkies are laying cable. These boys are laying pipe. That sounds like it would hurt. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, what a legend. What an absolute legend.

Are you going to do 50 years, Jesse? I'll give it my best shot, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. See how your back goes, Jesse. Yeah, you go. All right, thanks, everybody. We appreciate it. Bree and Clint.

Yeah, damn, there you go. Turn the microphones on, bro. That's Alex Warren on ZM, there you go. Turn the microphones on, bro. That's Alex Warren on ZM and carry you home. Bree and Clint's Dish of the Nation. Completely consuming me, this

battle for Dish of the Nation, because I really want a good outcome, but at the same time, I don't really care what wins so long as it's heavily voted on. Nah, I care. You do care? Yep. You and I have united around sausage and bread.

I feel like we have joined forces to put our support behind sausage and bread. So the first thing we need to do in round three is give an update on sausage and bread. We do. Okay. It's taking on the pavlova, which is no slouch when it comes to a conversation around New Zealand's national dish? Definitely not. But currently, sausage and bread is taking the pavlova down. Downtown. 67% to the sausage and bread plays the 33% to the pavlova.

Round three has been live for a couple of hours now, so there's a decent number of votes, a few thousand votes in there. Yesterday we had word from the beehive from the Prime Minister himself about his pick for Dish of the Nation. Well, to my fellow Kiwi citizens, I want to make the pitch once and for all that there is only one true Kiwi cuisine, and that is the mummite and chip sandwich.

When you think about it, it is unique and special to New Zealand. It's New Zealand mummite. It's New Zealand chips on New Zealand bread done together, done incredibly well. And I would encourage and exhort all of you to get Marmite and chip sandwich back on track. Marmite. Marmite.

He was doing that on purpose. Was he? Because he said earlier, he goes, it's not British Marmite, it's New Zealand Marmite. Marmite. Yeah, yeah. I love it. He's going to be on the edge of his seat because it's not winning and it's not losing Marmite. Marmite. Yeah, yeah. I love it. He's going to be on the edge of his seat because it's not winning

and it's not losing, Marmite and Chip Sandwich. He'll be taking a Valium tonight because it is one of the closest battles we have seen. You can't split them at the moment. The Marmite and Chip Sandwich taking on the Custard Square, it's 50-50 on the dot. If you go and vote, you could be the tipping point. You could be. To put one of the two in the front at the dot. If you go and vote, you could be the tipping point to put one of the two in the front at the moment.

Literally, if you want to vote at Bree and Clint on Instagram, go to our Instagram story, have your say. The other battle that I hoped would be closer than it is is Fish and Chips versus Chicken Coleslaw Bun. Chicken Coleslaw Bun is, at this stage, going home. I wanted Chicken Coleslaw Bun. Yeah, Fish and Chips has 72% of the vote. I say get rid of the fish and chips.

It's democracy. Get rid of it. It's not quintessentially Kiwi. Well, the people seem to believe that it is. And to be honest, there's way more Kiwi stuff. Hot chip butty is beating real fruit ice cream. So there's a world where we could have fish and chips and hot chip butty in the final.

People love hot chips. I just think get something that's unique. Fish and chips is British. Yeah. So you want something that is... But kiwi fish and chips are pretty good. I do understand that. Chicken coleslaw bun.

Come on, guys. Get behind it. Get in behind, everybody. Get in behind it. Go vote at Bree and Clint on Instagram. If you check us at Cheeky Follow, then you will get the next round into your feed as well because the quarterfinals are up after this.

We'll be into the final eight once we get through this round of voting. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. I want to talk crazy pet people. A company called Pet Direct have conducted New Zealand's first ever pet census. So like the people census,

but for animals. And if you're a dog or cat... They don't have disposable thumbs to write down anything on the paper though. What kind of thumbs? For the census. What kind of thumbs? Oh no, I've done it again.

Disposable. Opposable. Opposable. We've already been through this. Disposable thumbs will be ones you throw away. In my mind, it'll always be disposable. Okay? Yeah, okay.

So just move on. It's like... I oppose your point. I love how Clint sits on his high horse. You need your thumbs to check which is your left and right every time. Yeah. So don't sit over there thinking that you're all smart. Clint needs to make an L with his left hand and an L with his right hand

and to check that that's his left hand. Okay. I could have come at that a bit nicer. Okay. Hey, that's all I ask for. That's all I ask. I know! I already know. Anyway, pet census? Yeah, let's get back to it. By the way,

if your dog or cat didn't fill out the pet census, they're going to jail. Much like the human census. My dogs definitely wouldn't have, eh? Yeah, some local shelters offered like a free breakfast if you come down and fill out the pet census there to get numbers up. But no.

You're joking, aren't you? Yeah, I'm joking. The pet census is real though. How do they just survey a bunch of people? I guess, probably just an email. What kind of pet do you have? What do you do with your pet? Et cetera.

This is where you would find the pet crazies though. And that's my words, not Pet Directs. Those are my words. Yeah. Because they'd be like, ooh, finally somewhere to talk about the things that I do with mittens. You know? Finally, someone's interested. Are you talking about the Wellington cat? The beloved

Wellington cat mittens? I was just talking about a hypothetical mittens, but I imagine mittens would have been a part of the census. I reckon they'd be a self-confessed pet crazy, Mittens parents. Most pet crazies will admit that they are. It's something to be proud of. And they'll do a pet census. Do you want some stats on New Zealanders with pets?

What's happening? 66% of pet owners in New Zealand celebrate their pet's birthday. How many? In one way or another, 66%. That's quite high. It's the majority, yeah. Look, we kind of celebrate our dogs' birthdays. Yeah.

We like, we'll give them a special dinner or something. Oh, yeah. You know, like a little treat or something. I did that for my cats one year for their first birthday. And they didn't eat it? No, then they ran outside and one of them got hit by a car. So it feels a bit jinxed. So we don't eat it? No. Then they ran outside and one of them got hit by a car. So it feels a bit jinxed. So we don't do it now.

She survived. Oh, way to bring the mood down. She survived just. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. 77% of New Zealanders let their pets sleep in or on their bed. Guilty. My cat sleeps on the bed. So you are one. Yeah. My dog's too big to sleep on their bed. Guilty. My cat sleeps on the bed.

So you are one. Yeah. My dog's too big to sleep on the bed. My dogs are allowed on the bed till a certain time and then they go to their own beds. Then it's adult time, eh? Shut up. Then you say, all right, dogs, now it's our turn to be dogs.

It's a different time of dogs. A certain time. dogs. At certain time. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, back to the pet birthday thing, 66% of New Zealanders do a pet birthday.

That number goes up to 84% for the Gen Zs. 84% of Gen Zs Wow. have a pet birthday party. You know? Have a, when you say

a pet birthday party, It doesn't go into details but i'm imagining there's a song and a little crown a little cake i don't think that's too crazy like i think when you're inviting their pet friends over yeah or you're inviting your friends with to your pet's birthday yeah like and and making everyone celebrate your animal's birthday. Do a baby shower for your dog. Yeah, that's pretty full. Guys, she's hapu. 23% of people dress their pets up for special occasions.

That's fun. That's a bit of fun. We will be dressing our dog up as the lion from The Wizard of Oz for Halloween. Yeah. Yeah, and I make no apologies about it. My dog, who's a canned terrier, dresses up as Toto from The Wizard of Oz. Oh, my God, we should team up. Yeah.

We should team up. Oh, my God, yeah. You've got the line. You can be Tin Man. Why am I Tin Man? Sorry, you can be Dorothy. Yeah, thank you. Yes, Claudia?

My dog's grey. He could be Tin Man. Claudia's dog's Tin Man. Should we do an all-animal Wizard of Oz? That would be pretty cool. That would be pretty cool. And a Breeze Dorothy. Oh, my God.

I'm fine with that. We are the pet crazies. 41% of New Zealanders allow their animal to lick their face. Not me. Not me. Ooh, yucky. Oh. Nah.

Oh. Yeah, nah. One of my dogs, the smaller one, who is the cleaner one, that doesn't eat other dogs' poo, I will allow her to give me a, like I'll put my chin up. Yeah, yeah. And she gets me like under the chin like once. Oh, okay.

But that's it. She comes in for a daily lick. Yeah, and because she's not super affectionate, so like I feel like I have to let her. That's your bonding moment. You know, so I'm always like, oh, there's your good Whitney. So she licks me a couple of times under the chin. And 36% of New Zealanders will not go on holiday

without their pet. How many? 36%. Oh, okay, so that's one of the lower ones. They're the people who will chuck their dog on an Air New Zealand flight when they nip down to Queenstown. I've seen those people. Yeah, yeah.

How much does that cost? I don't know, but I don't think it's outrageously expensive. Is there economy and business class? Yeah, can you get works deluxe for the dog? Like for the pets? Like are they getting served meals down in the cargo hold? Yeah, cookie or cassava chip. We have asked this before and it's always fun.

Are you a self-confessed pet crazy? Do you do something OTT for your animal? Yeah. And what is it? What's the thing that you go overboard? Financially, effort-wise, I don't know. You just know that it's an animal, but it's my animal. And it makes me feel good to do this thing for them

that other people might find weird. My partner's brother, him and his partner, their dog has a Louis Vuitton collar. Real. Dog bowl. Real. Real. Dog bowl and lead.

Yeah, it's the full set. Wow. I didn't even ask how much it was. I was like, I don't want to know. I was like, you got me nothing for Secret Santa. We're talking about pet crazies this afternoon. People who can admit they go a bit overboard for their pets. And you know what?

It's all right. It makes them happy. Do you know that it always makes the animal happy? Like the things that you do that you think are going to bring the animal joy, sometimes they're like, bruh. Don't need it. Bruh. I'm a dog.

Like this text here. Someone said, my dog sits at the dining table with his own birthday cake and we sing happy birthday to him and he wears a hat. Why would you do that? That's the worst thing about being a human. Being sung happy birthday. Yes. Oh, you don't like that?

As an adult. I tried to get rid of it last year, remember? The dog would enjoy the cake bit. Oh, the cake would be great. Not so much the hat. No. Dogs do not like things put on their face. My uncle had two cats, him and his partner, and they used to eat

dinner at the table every night. He had special seats for them. Oh, I don't know about that. Which were raised. So they didn't stand on the table. They sat on their cat seat, but they were high enough that they could eat from their cat bowl at the dinner table. Don't know how I feel about that.

Do you guys think it's gross that sometimes my partner and I, we let our dogs lick our bowls? After you've finished. That sounded wrong. Yeah, I was going to gloss over it. After we've finished eating and I put the bowl down on the ground. I'm new to dog ownership and sometimes I'll let the dog do that

only because he just looks at me the whole time that I'm eating. He just is right there next to you. So yucky. I'm like, get away from me. And the bowl makes him happy at the end. So you obviously don't think it's gross because you do it. Well, then the bowl goes in the dishwasher, so I don't really care. That's what I think too, yeah.

Lindsay's here. Hi, Lindsay. Hi, Lindsay. Hi. How's it going? You're good. You're a pet crazy? Yeah, a little bit, yeah. What have you got and what do you do? I've got some pet goats. Yeah, cute. And when it's thunder and lightning or fireworks are going off, I'll go out and sit with them in their houses

and cuddle up to them. Your sweetheart, Lindsay. That's just being a good pet mum. Oh, thank you. My sister's boyfriend has a pet goat named Steinlager and the goat lives in the house. It's an indoor goat. Oh, wow, that's cool.

It is cool. They're in their own little houses. Have you ever picked up a baby goat? Have you ever seen a baby goat? I have three baby goats at the moment. They're very cute, eh? Have you, Clint? No, I've seen some, yeah.

Shit, they're cute. And their front knees don't work, eh? God, they're cute. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they suck on your finger. They're so cute. They're cute. Thanks, Lindsay, you pet crazy.

We appreciate it. Just circling back on what we were talking about before, people taking their dogs on flights. Yeah. Apparently it's $120 to fly a dog nationwide. That's what has come through on the text machine. That's cheaper than a person's ticket to fly. I wonder if we could book a dog flight,

but we go on it instead of the dog. Yeah, in New Zealand, if you're listening, can Bree and I go doggy style? Yeah, that should be an option. Doggy style on Air New Zealand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Economy works. I'll get into a crate. Seat plus bag, doggy style.

I've tried to get into my dog's crate. I fit. Maraki is here. Hi, Maraki. Hi, Maraki. It's Mareika. Oh, Mareika. Mareika. Oh, Mareika. Mareika.

Sorry, mate. Sorry. We're going off phonetics on the screen. But you're a pet crazy, are you? I think so. What do you do? What do you got? I've got two little dogs, a Bichon Cross Shih Tzu

and a Chihuahua Cross Mini Chipotle. Yeah. Cute. And then I've got a hand-reared cockatiel. She's about eight years old. And what are you doing for these wonderful animals? Well, they always come on holiday with me. Really?

All of them? How many holidays? New holiday. You don't go on holiday without them. Can you take a cockatiel on an in New Zealand flight? I've not tried. We drive. Oh, you drive.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we drive. But she sits in between Nico and Chi-Chi. So you can't have the window down when you're driving because the bird will fly out. We cover her a little bit. No, no, she's in a cage. I was going to say, she'd be in a cage.

Oh, okay. Not just flying around the car. Well, excuse me for never having taken my cockatiel on holiday before. God, Clint, don't you know that? Be in the cage, obviously. Yeah, no, she's really good. She never flies off. She's always on my shoulder.

She walks up the stairs every morning when we open her up to come and have a cuddle in bed. Do you ever dress as a pirate for Halloween? Your cockatiel has a cuddle in bed. Yes, she does. Oh, my God. That sounds like an amazing cockatiel. Lots of texts coming in from pet crazies.

Someone said, Cat man, my cat, is the most spoilt man coon. He has his own catio, which is a bedroom. Catio? It includes two large cat trees and a glass skylight to watch the birds. Ridiculous. Wow. What about this one?

My horse has asthma. So I used to drive 30 minutes every day to give her her asthma inhaler. Now she gets injections. Horses are expensive and time consuming to say the least. Especially if they get asthma. I wonder if you have to use the spacer when you give a horse an asthma inhaler, you know, so it actually gets all of the ventolin. Yeah, yeah.

Fur baby crazy mama here. If I go out, I have to leave the radio on. ZM, of course. So my baby doesn't get lonely with his thoughts and silence. You'd hate a cat to think too much. I will put my hand up and say I leave the TV on for my dog. I leave the radio on for the dog. Yeah.

It's just a bit of, like, noise. Imagine just sitting in silence for... Not ZM, though. Too many repeats. Oh, and those annoying presenters as well. Bree and Clint. Time for Google Down. Do you feel lucky?

Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. All right, gather round, kids, gather round. It's time to see who is the fastest Googler in the team, and you could be winning someone 50K FC chicken dollars if you text through the names either Clint, Claudia or Ella, here's the rules.

I will ask the questions. First person to yell out the most common answer that comes up on Google, I'll give you a point. First to three takes home the win. Are we all ready? I've taken my rings off for this. I'm good to go. Oh.

She means buzz nuts. She means buzz nuts. I'm limbering up, guys. Okay. Here to go. Oh. She means business. She means business. I'm blumbering up, guys. Okay. Here we go. Question number one, and I will preface this with saying that it is a Grammys edition Google down. Yep.

Okay. Question number one. How many Grammys does Kendrick Lamar have? 20. 22. Was that a guess? Yeah. That was right. 22. No, it's 22. No, 20. 22. Was that a guess? Yeah. That was right.

22. No, it's 22. It's 22. The answer, according to Google and Bree, is 20. All right. Is that what comes up? It doesn't matter. It's fine.

Yep. You guys can go. Next. Next. Nah, it still comes up as 20 for me, so I've got to give it to Clint. What Google are you on? I've got to give it the normal one. It's 20.

I just Googled it. It's 20. Okay, move on. Next. Also, I didn't guess it. I read it yesterday. I thought you could tell that they're not sour. I don't know how to read.

Clint, one point. We move on to the next question. Question number two. What year was the first Grammy Awards? 1959. I have no idea. No, it's 1959. 1959.

I'm going to give it to Clint. Just nearly stuffed it up. Oh, it was hard to get the words. Hang on. From my brain to my mouth. It was correct, though. From my brain. Here comes question number three.

Girls, if you don't get this one... I'm just saying I did dibs winning this week. It's all over. So if you don't want to honour that, that's okay. Question number three. I have to lick the car tyre, eh? If I break dibs. Yes, actually.

That's the rules of... My car's out the front. Let's go. What album won the Grammy of the Year award in 2010? Fearless, Taylor Swift. It's good, Claudia. Well done. It was good.

It was very good from you. Good, Claudia. Thank you. That's my album of hers too. Oh, Fearless. I googled what album. That's where I went wrong. One to Claudia, two to Clint.

Question number four. Who won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 2002? Nora Jones. Temple Brown. I don't think she was alive. Ella, this is yours to lose. Who won the Grammy? Alicia Keys.

She's got it. Alicia Keys won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 2002. Question number five. How many Grammys has Beyonce now won? 35. Who said that? That was Claudia. Well done, Claudia. won? 35. Who said that? That was Claudia. Well done, Claudia.

It is 35. Dang, that's a lot. Sheesh. That is a... Shit, Hunter. Okay. Uh-oh, fat choke on the way. Right, right.

Lick the tyre. All right. Question number six. Who has won the most Grammys in one night ever? Michael Jackson. Wonder? Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson is correct with eight at the 1984 Grammys.

And Clint takes it out back-to-back weeks, I believe. Well done, Cara. You've won 50 KFC chicken dollars. Woo-hoo, go you. I may have seemed, I was like a duck on water there. I may have seemed calm on the top, but I was frantic. I really wanted that. You can feel the tension in this room when we play.

Oh, I can feel it through the phone. Yeah, good. Okay, just checking. That's what I like to create it. I hope that one day it will end in a full-on brawl. Bree and Clint. Tomorrow is Waitangi Day. So here to make sure that we go into this Waitangi

a little less ignorant than last Waitangi is the host of Treaty Talks, my friend, Kara Rickard. Kia ora. Kia ora. Kia ora. Thanks so much for having me, guys. Thanks for coming in. I feel like this isn't the first time we've had you in to talk about Waitangi.

Probably not. Yeah. I feel like I'm getting real deja vu. Am I your dial-a-Māori for Waitangi? I think you are. I think you are. Good to have you back. I love it.

If I can help educate people, then, you know, that's all good. Like, korero and discussions around Te Titi of Waitangi and everything that's happening in politics at the moment seem really complicated. It does. But it's really not. Te Titi of Waitangi is not that complicated. It also is really intense at the

moment. And what I like about this and this podcast that you've made is it takes the heat out of it and it's just a conversation because everybody at the moment, it seems like no matter which side of the political spectrum you're on, you bring it up and they go... And it turns into a heated discussion. And that's the thing and I don't really feel that too many people

know enough to have those conversations. And even me, so making Treaty Talks, which is an eight-episode series where I talk to experts about different aspects to do with the treaty and politics and stuff. And it was the first time in my career where I felt like I just didn't know anything. Because you guys would know, as radio people, when someone comes in for an interview,

you want to know lots of information and you want to have stuff to ask them you want to be prepped and ready and I just sat there going yeah I don't really know much about this but it was really great like we talked to educators, lawyers people who have spent their life

learning about this stuff and the conversations we had and the way they broke it down was really eye-opening. And see, that's the thing. You don't need to be the expert because you had experts there. And when I expressed my feelings of being completely inadequate and useless, my producer friend, Fata, said,

but you're everyone. You are everyone who is listening to this podcast or watching this series. You're asking the questions that everybody wants to know the answers to. And that's nice and welcoming for people because I feel like people who don't know anything, it can be quite daunting and people are scared to ask questions. So I feel like this is a super important conversation.

What do you think is going to happen at Waitangi tomorrow? Speaking of the treaty itself. Well, there was conversation about not letting some politicians go there because i went last year and it was pretty heated and very full of drama so i'm not actually sure what's gonna um transpire up there but at the end of the day all of the things that happen up there spark conversations totally and so if that's, you know, the outcome from a bit of drama, then that's good for everyone. And if you can't have those conversations on that day tomorrow,

then when are you going to have them, right? Exactly. Except maybe on this podcast, which is out. It's a video podcast. It's called Treaty Talks. It's hosted by Cara Ricard. Before you go, we need your expert opinion on something else as well. Okay.

You're doing great educating, you know, the people on things. And we are as well. We're doing things for the people here. We're trying to figure out what the dish of the nation is, like New Zealand's national meal. Also a heated discussion. Oh, my gosh. Have you at least narrowed it down?

Yeah, we're down to the final 16. So these are today's match-ups. We just need you to vote with your heart on these eight match-ups. Okay, ready? I'm going to roll through them and you just say which one out of the two you want. First battle, meat pies versus lolly cake. Meat pies. Nice.

Marmite and chip sandwich versus custard square. Marmite and chip sandwich all day. You and Chris Luxon, same choice. Sausage and bread versus pavlova. Sausage and bread. Solid choice. Kiwi onion dip versus trifle. Trifle.

Whoa! I love trifle. I love trifle too, but kiwi onion dip. I mean, I don't like mayo or condiments or sauces, so onion dip. Makes sense. It's like slimy in your mouth. Okay, all right. Fish and chips versus chicken bun coleslaw, you know, from the supermarket.

Oh, that's tough. As a parent, chicken bun coleslaw is a regular, but you can't really go past fish and chips. So you're going to go fish and chips? As a dish of the nation, yeah. Yeah, fish and chips. Okay. Frozen sausage rolls, those ones you make at home,

versus hokey pokey ice cream. I mean, as a dish of the nation, we're not talking about my household. Let's go hokeyy Pokey Ice Cream. All right. Real Fruit Ice Creams versus Hot Chip Buddies. Hot Chip Buddies. Cheese Rolls versus Tin Spaghetti on Toast. Tin Spaghetti on Toast.

Controversial. Me too. I would prefer Baked Beans on Toast. Yeah, right. I feel like that's all covered in that realm. Spaghetti on Toast. Yeah, yeah, right. I feel like that's all covered in that realm. Spaghetti on toast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I've found out about you today, Cara Rickard,

is that you're a savoury gal. I'm actually not. No, she's not. I've got the wildest sweet tooth. Really? Yeah. You chose mostly savoury in that. Yeah, apart from trifle.

Well, they are your choices. Lock it in. You have to stand behind them. Trendy Talks is out now. You can watch the eight-part video podcast. Cara Rickard, good to see you. Thanks, Cara. Sabrina Carpenter and Juno on ZM.

We did that for Friday Okie last week. Someone texted and said, you guys have ruined Juno for me. Now all I can hear is Clint when you play that song. I thought my rendition was quite nice. You know I just might Let you knock me down tonight I think it's worse

when you listen back now. Yeah, true. You know on a Friday everyone's kind of upbeat and everyone's like oh, it's not too bad. Oh, God. In the cold light of day

that is. It's rough. There's a real stinker. It's pretty rough. Hey, what if I told you that a very, very famous person is becoming an MMA fighter? I'd say fascinating. And do they have any experience? I'm going to say world.

In the octagon? No. Well, I'm just going to say it. This is serious. Taylor Swift is going into the cage. Becoming a cage fighter. MMA cage fighter.

Well, actually, they're already there. They are a cage fighter. Taylor Swift. She's got the legs for it. I can see her roundhouse kicking somebody. Oh, you're getting confused with the singer Taylor Swift. Getting them in like a leg lock and not letting them out. 21-year-old British cage fighter by the name of Taylor Swift has said he will stick with his name despite people having a laugh.

Oh, he. He. Boy Taylor Swift. Boy Taylor Swift. How old is he? He's 21. So his parents weren't to know that Taylor Swift was going to be Taylor Swift. They wouldn't have.

No. He gets smiles and smirks at weigh-ins when his name is announced. Also when they call him up to the fights, people are like, what? Where? Who? Taylor Swift's here? It's starting to give him a name around the world. Taylor Swift versus Conor McGregor.

How weird. Israel Adesanya versus Taylor Swift. Look out. You'd pay good money to see it. That would put bums on seats, wouldn't it? Yeah, totally. 100% it would. I wonder if someone like Taylor Swift, because that's her brand.

Her brand is Taylor Swift. And if this guy looks like he's going to go the distance, if there's any kind of lawsuit that she brings, and she's like, because he can make Taylor Swift merch. Yeah. He could release a single. I wonder how that works.

Yeah. It'd be quite interesting. Surely you can't take someone to court for using their own name. Like if he had called himself Rihanna, you know, that'd be different. But his name is Taylor Swift. His name is Taylor Swift. Yeah. I would hate it.

I would hate having the same name, especially like one of the D-grade celebrities that, you know, not everyone knows. Taylor Swift is top tier. Everyone knows. Every single person in the world nearly would know who that is. Yeah. So you're always going to get those looks or those jokes or people are going to be like, oh, like this singer.

Close to 15 years on from his death, do you think the Michael Jacksons of the world are starting to have an easier time? Like is it starting to let up? I don't think so. I don't think to let up? I don't think so. I don't think so, eh? I don't think so, no. I don't think so.

The annoying bit about it would be that you know that it's every first conversation that you're ever going to have with people. Exactly. Like, you're never just... If you introduce yourself, they're going to go, oh, I like Dr. Singer. Don't say it. Don't say anything.

No matter what you say, I've heard it. No matter what joke you think you're going to make, I like the singer. Don't say it. Don't say anything. No matter what you say, I've heard it. No matter what joke you think you're going to make, I've heard it. Imagine, like, you're right, though. Like, they're never just going to be like, hi, I'm such and such, and people are going to go, oh. Hi, I'm Taylor Swift. Oh, nice to meet you, Taylor. What do you do?

Yeah, exactly. You know, it's never going to be like that for them. It's always going to be like, oh. Who's my hero's like, oh! Play Love Story! I don't know Taylor Swift had a moustache! How long you been, is Travis here? You know, like people just

can't help themselves. Oh, don't tell Kanye. Oh, when did you get into MMA fighting? I thought we could take some calls this afternoon on 0800DIALS at M when we need your help. Do you know someone that's got a famous name? Have you got a famous name?

Yeah, maybe it's you and you just want to do a PSA where you're sick of it. You're sick of the jokes. You get it. You've had your name your whole life and you're over it. Where are our teenage nonos at? Where are our teenage ma'anonus at? Where are our baby Richie McCores? Where are our 11-year-old Lisa Carringtons? Surely there's got to be some Dan Carters.

There has to be. Yeah. Like Dan Carter isn't the first Dan Carter. Clint Roberts, my name. I was very tempted if I had a boy to name him Mike Mick. Mike Mick? First name Mike, second name Mick. No, first name Mike Mick.

Oh, you could have went Mike and Mick. No, because then they'd call him Mike Roberts. No one uses people's middle name. Mike Mick Roberts. Such a pretty first name. Lucky I had girls. You're very lucky for them. Do you know someone with a famous name after an MMA fighter from the UK

is getting quite a lot of traction about his name because he shares it with Taylor Swift? Not an intimidating MMA name. If I was coming up against her in like a karaoke competition. Yes. But sorry, he is an MMA fighter. We said before that you'd get the same jokes every time you met someone if you had a famous name. It'd be so annoying.

We got a text from Lisa Simpson. Oh, poor Lisa. Who said every time she meets someone, she gets, where's Bart? Poor Lisa. Yeah. Lisa,, where's Bart? Poor Lisa. Yeah. Lisa, it's your birthday. Poor Lisa. Happy birthday, Lisa.

She smells like gasoline. Lisa. Oh, we apologise, Lisa. Her teeth are big and green. Lisa. Mason's here. Hi, Mason. Hi, Mason.

Hey, it's Nathan. Oh, Nathan. Nathan. Nathan, you're a first-time caller. Oh. Wait a second. There he is, the big Nathan dog. I'm trying to think what famous Nathan you could be. No, no, it's my cousin's husband.

He's called Bartholomew Simpson. He's Barth Simpson. Wait a second. He must know our last text, Elisa. I'll tell you what, it must do. How old? You know, he was about 13 when the show hit the TV. Yeah, right.

So he predates the TV show. God, that's a life of punishment, isn't it? It's horrific. He's pretty cool about it. Does he go by Bart? Does he go by Bart? Yeah, yeah. Everyone just calls him Bart.

I'd change my name, I reckon. I'd go Barney or... No, you can't go Barney because he's in The Simpsons as well. Oh, yeah. Everybody just calls him Bart. I'd change my name, I reckon. I'd go Barney or... No, you can't go Barney because he's in The Simpsons as well. Oh, yeah. Or Max Power. How about Max Power? Yeah. What about Duff Man?

Oh, yeah. Duff Man can't breathe. Oh, no. But, yeah. I love it, Nathan. That's a good one, Nathan. Thank you, mate. And thanks for being our first-time caller. Ripper first-time caller, Nathan. Well done. Yeah, thanks for letting love it, Nathan. It's a good one, Nathan. Thank you, mate. And thanks for being our first-time caller.

Ripper first-time caller, Nathan. Well done. Yeah, thanks for letting us be your first. Hey, Nathan, promise we'll be your last as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stay in touch. Don't be a stranger. Yep.

We'll text, eh? We'll text, eh, Nathan? Yeah. You bring that cute tush back here any time, Nathan. Courtney's here. Hi, Courtney. Hi, Courtney. Hi. Oh, Courtney Cox, Courtney Love, Courtney Nathan. Courtney's here. Hi, Courtney. Hi, Courtney. Hi.

Oh, Courtney Cox, Courtney Love, Courtney Kardashian. I don't know. What is the famous name that you share, Courtney? I'll be surprised if it last names. Courtney Cox. Courtney Cox. I was going to say,

I'd be very surprised if your last name's Kardashian. It's quite unusual. Yeah. Who came through? My old man's even better. It's quite unusual. Yeah. My old man's even better. He's Michael J. Fox. Are you shitting me? Wait, are you Courtney Fox? Courtney Fox, yeah, but I get Courtney Cox all the time. Courtney Cox, oh, okay.

Yeah, because it's so similar. And your old man is Michael J. Fox? Yeah. What's his middle name? John. John. Wow! That's pretty cool. What's it like having a famous name? John. John. Wow. That's pretty cool.

What's it like having a famous dad? Amazing. I bet. Have you guys been asked, has your dad or you been asked to be on those skinny ads yet? Yeah. No, not yet. Waiting for the caller. Your dad will be a sitter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you going to carry it on? When you have a kid, are you going to call them Julia? Julia Fox. Ryan Fox, the New Zealand PGA golfer. I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. You need to go with Julia.

Grant Fox, Julia, yeah, yeah. Uncut Jabs. I don't think Julia Fox is forever, though. She's been around for a little while now, but yeah, probably not forever. We're asking, do you have a famous name? Holly's here. Hi, Holly. Hi, Holly.

Hello. So it's your brother that has a famous name. Yep. We're sticking with the Simpson theme. And my brother is Cody Simpson. Cody Simpson, like the singer. Like that one. So many Simpsons.

So many Simpsons. Hey, are you related to Bartholomew or Lisa that we're talking about? Yeah, we're all cousins. Yeah, you would be. Your brother's Cody Simpson. Yeah. Were you sad when he changed from singing to swimming?

It was really traumatic for our family. For the family, yeah. Oh, he's got a good sense of humor. Who came first, your brother, Cody Simpson, or the singer, Cody Simpson? My brother. Yeah.

Oh, got him. Does he sing or swim? Cody Simpson? My brother. Yeah. Oh, got it. Does he sing or swim? Not well. Not well. Is he over it? Does he always get people being like, oh, look, the singer. A little bit, like back when like I was out.

But he was never as big in the States so he doesn't get it as much. That's true. You have the Simpson name in your family, so there's so many names that are off limits. Bart, Lisa, Maggie. Homer. Homer. Marge.

We've got OJ and Jessica as well. Oh, OJ. Yeah. OJ. Yeah. To be honest, OJ's not on many people's list of potential baby names anymore. Probably not. I don't even know what's going to come back around.

Okay, thanks, Holly. Someone just texted and said, my dad is Ron Weasley. Is he really? I want to talk to that guy. Yeah. I want to talk to him. That you're afraid to check the key.

It'd be so hard to take your dad seriously if his name was Ron Weasley. He'd be telling you off. He'd be like, I told you to be home by 10. It's after your curfew. And you go, okay, Ron Weasley. He'd be telling you off. He'd be like, I told you to be home by 10. It's after your curfew. And you go, okay, Ron Weasley. Calm down. Calm down, Ron.

You want me to pull out your wand? Not that wand. Calm down, you mudblood. Put that wand back away. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Time for some birthday bangers for your hump day.

Number one songs when you turn 16. Who's up first? George, but George is going to do Dad's birthday banger. G'day, George. Hello, George. Hello. How old are you, George? I'm nine.

You're nine. Okay. You can play when you're 16, but you're here to do Dad's, so we just need your dad's birthday, George. 1st of December, 1982. Well done. That means your dad was 16 in 1998, and here's his birthday banger.

This is Jennifer Page. And it's a banger. Do you like it, George? Yeah, I quite like it. Yes. It could be better, though.

It could be better. Yeah, it could be. Do you think your dad, Jeremy, would like it? No, not really. He likes remixes. Okay. Oh, does he? Does he like a bit of doof-doof, George?

I could put some sirens over the top of it if it makes it better. Is he a bit of a raver, your dad? Yeah. Yeah, I thought so. Yeah. Dad's got an eyebrow piercing. Okay, wait there. Let's go to Josh.

Hi, Josh. G'day, Josh. How's it going? Good, mate. Are you geared up for a day off tomorrow? Yeah, Friday off too. Yeah, good man. Oh, nice, Joshy, just like us.

I'm going to vote for Katy Perry, Dark Horse. Yeah, I'm going back and forth. Yeah, I'm going Dark Horse as well. Yeah? Yep. There Dark Horse as well. Yeah?

Yep. There's no coming back. Josh, you just won birthday banger. Congratulations. Oh, good. Let's go, Josh. And to the person who just texted and saying, I'm pretty sure Clint would have had an eyebrow piercing.

So you go along to this event and essentially it's friends pitching their single friends.

To the room. To the room. So to everyone. We've got a bit of audio from one of the knights here. Take a listen. As you can see, she's hot. Her favourite sport is yapping. She's looking for anyone between the ages of 26 to 95.

The only thing I prepared is, look at that mustache. You're bringing out the best parts of your single friend's qualities. You say them so they don't have to. It's a bit of fun. It's like a seminar. And you get up there and you say, you know, these are all the reasons you should date my friend. And I was thinking, we do have a single person on the Brian Clint show.

And I thought, why not? What's one step better than an auditorium? We have the whole country, an entire radio station where we can pitch why you should date our single friend, Claudia. The nation is our auditorium. Now, can you just confirm for us that you are single, Claudia? We're not going to be trotting on anyone's toes in this situation. I can confirm.

Good. All right, let's spruke her. Okay, would you... Yeah, let's talk her up, crew. Well, first thing I thought, and you can, like like in these things, you can say whatever you like about them to entice people to come in and date them. And I thought something that would entice people is animals that I think,

because I know Claudia, so animals I think Claudia could protect you against in a fight. Oh, I love it. Okay. So we're going to start off strong. An aardvark. Yep. I could take on a aardvark. Claudia would definitely win.

Mm-hmm. An anteater. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She'd do an anteater grabbed by the snout. A pangolin.

So small. Yep. I could do that. Goose. Definitely a goose. Goose. Goose. Geese can be quite aggressive, but so can Claudia.

If I snuck up on her, I'd be good. And last but not least, Claudia would definitely protect you against a red-lipped batfish. She would. I've seen her do it. Easily. Let me have a turn. Okay.

If you are looking for a woman with responsibilities and baggage, look no further. That's our friend Claudia. Our Claude shares a dog with her ex. Responsibilities and baggage. I also share a house with my ex. Oh, add it to the list. She's perfect.

She's a perfect woman. There's more. Ella, come on. Convince people that Claudia is the person for them. Okay, everyone, we're talking to everyone, which is a bonus. That's fun. We are talking to, oh, sorry, no, we're not talking to her. Claudia is an interesting person.

She's interested in your life. Yeah, I'll listen to you. You'll ask, what's up? She's got a great set of chuzzies. Yeah. Oh, no, I'm being serious, guys. Too friendly. You go, Bree.

You do it. Don't get me out of here. Claudia's best qualities include violent sarcasm, deep down is a big softie, is the perfect mix of smart, sexy and cute and also, like I said before, has a great set. Of chuzzies, you said. Can I get this in writing?

Yeah, you can. Claudia once opened a hard-to-crack jar of pickles just by looking at it judgingly. Yep, I saw it. Okay, let's give Ella another turn. Okay, come on. Has she picked up what we're putting down? Have you got it yet, Ella?

Are you going to give it a good go? Okay. Claudia loves vintage stuff. Like the Huberstacks. I'll turn her off, Clint. She's saying boring stuff again. I don't get what you're saying. Claudia's buying.

She goes to secondhand shops. I've got one for you. Claudia is social. She goes to so many concerts, we're thinking of getting her a red badge security shirt for her birthday to bring the cost down. You could go with her. You could go with her.

That's a great idea. Yeah. Do you want to date our friend Claudia? Call Elena. No, I'm just kidding. No, please, no. Text through on 9696 now. Ella comes in.

Claudia's sensitive and she's got a great heart. Claudia's got her dermatitis under control. I quit. She only gets eczema in the wintertime. If you're gassed up, Claudia, you ready to hit the market? Yeah, I'm ready. Yeah, I thought so too. Yeah, yeah.

Bree and Clint. Thanks, guys. You're welcome, Claude. Bree and Clint. That's the end of the show And the end of the week For us We're taking a long long weekend

Are we going to do a group too? Oh we forgot to do a group too Oh forgot to do the group too We'll have to do it Well it's not a long weekend For everybody that's why Yeah okay yeah I see your point

I see your point But we wouldn't do a long weekend Without doing a group too No we would not That is our thing We don't miss it. We would love you to get in there and vote on round three of Dish of the Nation. It's going to shut down for a couple of days over the long, long weekend.

But we'll pick it up on Monday and that will be the quarterfinal on Monday. We'll be down to just eight dishes. So this time next week, we might know the winner of Dish of the Nation. We will be very close. We'll be on the last day. We'll be on the last day. So, yeah, we will be very close to knowing what is the dish of New Zealand. Thousands and thousands of votes in round two.

It was actually way bigger than round one. So let's keep building. Let's get the most honest and thorough result we can. If you don't know what we're talking about, we're trying to figure out what the official dish of New Zealand is, and we've whittled it down to 16 dishes. And if you want to have your say, it's quite fun. It's actually a bit of fun where you get to vote.

It's easy. Go to at Bree and Clint on Instagram. It's on the story, and you can have a vote. Think hokey pokey ice cream, home-cooked sausage rolls. Hot buddies. Hot chip buddies. Lolli cake. Fish and chips, pavlovas.

That's what we're looking at now. Yeah. Yeah, go by. Have a great Waitangi, everybody, and we'll catch you back next week. Bye bye. Coming up. I want the work to play. ZM's Brand Clint.
