The ZM Podcast Network. ZM, Brie and Clint. Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show this fine Tuesday afternoon. Happy Tuesday everyone. How's everyone going out there? Producers are ready and willing to take your calls. They're about to pick up some calls for Tradie versus Lady. It's like we're doing a telethon. And remember telethons?

Our phone operators are standing by. They are willing and ready to take your calls. No, you've got to put your television voice on. And when you do call, make sure you tell them Clint sent you. It's the same thing but lower. All right, say hi to your mum for me. Our operators are standing by and ready to take your calls. Let's go back to the regular scheduled programming.

After the break, Tarmody talks to a Labrador who can speak German. But right now, let's cross to our weather presenter. Oh, thanks so much, Clint. We're going to play for $18,000, by the way, at 5 o'clock. This is not my TV voice. This is my normal radio voice. $18,000. It's really hard to get out of it.

People will think you're joking about it if you do it in that voice. You've got to be five on time. It's real. There's $18,000 up for grabs at 4 o'clock today for five on time. There really is. That's so much money. That's life-changing money for a lot of people. I don't want to bring behind-the-scenes chats to the radio,

but wouldn't it have been a good idea to do five on time at five o'clock? Yeah, I mean, it doesn't really make as much sense at four o'clock. Five at five? That's the time we got told to do it. Well, five on time is at four o'clock. At four o'clock. And it's $18,000. $18,000.

And if you want a shot at that, be listening at 4, not 5, for 5 at time. But first, call now to play Trady vs. Lady, the hit game taking the nation by storm. Don't wait. There's limited spots. 0800 dial ZNM right now to play. The winner today takes home an Ab King Pro. No way. And if you call now, you'll get the other one for free.

Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint, that's the chain schmockers. Don't let me down. And don't let me down. What happened to the chain smokers? Are you going to do a chain smoking joke? And then we all remembered our grandparents died from chain smoking and we stopped.

My joke was going to be I heard they gave it up, so then the band was no more. Oh, yeah, yeah. They're on the vapes now. They're on the medicated vapes. The vapors just didn't sound as good. Yeah. Hard to make a lung cancer joke too, so we'll just move on.

It's tradie versus lady. Three, two, one, let's go. Radio then. The ladies, they're on 15 wins for the year, but the tradies are out in front. They're on 17. Let's go to our lady first in Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland. She's 39 years old and she has worked for the same company for 17 years.

Please welcome to the show the very loyal Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hello. Mate, what presents have you got for being so loyal? Yeah. Well, a few things, I guess. Alcohol. Do you love your job?

Because they say that changing jobs is the key to getting a pay rise. Do you love what you do? I do, and I love who I work for. Oh, good. For their help. Can you tell us who you work for? Hillebrae and Gorrick. Give her a pay rise.

If you're listening, Hillebrae and Gorrick, give Amanda a pay rise. A pay rise and long service. Have you had long service? No, they don't do that. Well, not in the New Zealand branch anyway. Oh! I am looked after. Okay.

Okay. We'll take a word for it. Amanda, cough once if you're not. Oh, she's good. She's good. Our tradie's from Christchurch. She's 21 and he can eat 50 wicked wings in 50 minutes. What?

Welcome to the show, Simon. G'day. Simon. Simon, are you taking the piss or you can actually do that? Nah, it's pretty good, eh? Not really, but it's actually... If we get you a flight... Would love to see that.

If we get you a flight and 50 Wicked Wings, because KFC sponsored this show, would you come in studio and do it? Oh! Did he hang up? Did we call him out and he hung up? Did he hang up? Did we call him out and he hung up? Did he hang up? Straight away. Does that mean Amanda wins?

We've got 20 seconds to get him back on the line. Surely he didn't hang up because we... Is that him? Oh, no, other people are calling to take his position. We'll give him 20 seconds. Did we call him out? Did we call him out? He could have just said, yeah.

Nah, he could have just said, nah, I was joking. We got him back. Simon, did you drop your balls? Yeah, just a little bit. Yeah. Simon, did you actually hang up on purpose? No, I didn't. Okay.

I want this KFC fee. All right, let's do it. Oh, mate, I would love to see that. I feel like. Simon, your buzzer is tradie. Amanda, yours is lady. First of three correct answers gets 50 bucks from KFC. Good luck.

Congratulations Simon we will We will fly you to Auckland If you want to put the wicked wings Where your mouth is Are you keen? I'll have to think about it You warm up that stomach Simon

We're going to fly you up here I think his mouth wrote a check I'll have to think about it. You warm up that stomach, Simon. We're going to fly you up here. I think his mouth wrote a check that his stomach can't cash. I do it all the time, Simon. See, he's gone. He's away. Bree and Clint. That was close.

That was very professional. We were talking about five on time because we've just been practising five on time in the studio. It's quite fun. We were going into our theories time because we've just been practicing five on time in the studio. It's quite fun. We were going into our theories about how we count. Yeah. And then I was about to give you mine. Yeah, how do you count? One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi, five Mississippi, time.

Oh, see, I go zero Mississippi, one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi, five time. Oh, that extra beat in there. Yeah. Anyway, we were practicing that and then we almost completely forgot to go on the radio. So here we are. I saw this TikTok account today, which is all this guy does is he gets people to send him unreasonable requests that people have been sent from their bosses. I love these. I follow them on TikTok just because it's fun to listen to.

And then he shames the bosses for doing it. And I think he kind of explains, I think he's got like an HR background. He kind of explains why it's not okay for your boss to ask these certain things of you. Yeah, I think it's in the hope to educate not only managers and bosses of what's appropriate and what's not, but also to educate people watching of what you're actually legally, you know, allowed to say or do at work. Because if you know you're right, then you're much less likely to be taken advantage of.

And your bosses will hate you even more. It's named Ben Askins, and this one that has gone viral, I feel like it's very relatable. I feel like a lot of people would have had a similar conversation with their boss, especially people who work on a roster. Yeah, right. Where your shifts constantly change and that sort of thing. Have a listen to this one.

I know you're off today, but is there any way you can work tonight? Would love to help you out, but I'm heading out of town to see family and not back until Thursday. Are you sure you can't delay your trip just to cover tonight? No, obviously you can't do that. I really would owe you. Oh, he'd owe you, would he? I know he's going to say I'd owe you money or anything like that.

It's just one of those sort of superficial favours, which I'm sure you could take that to the bank. Come on, I'm not asking for much here. Could do with you being a bit of a team player on this one. I appreciate this is tricky for you, but this isn't really my issue to sort. This is so reasonable. Good to know where your priorities are.

And he said, see, the guy just responded, with my family, dot, obviously. It's just pathetic management. It is pathetic. What an idiot. To then shame your worker because you didn't have enough cover organised.

Good to know where your priorities lie. Stop trying to guilt trip someone into coming in. It's common. Hopefully people feel like strong enough to stand up for themselves in those situations. Happens all the time. Because you're not doing anything wrong by saying you don't want to work on a shift you weren't rostered on for.

You're not doing anything wrong. That's the beauty of a roster. You know, there's a lot of cons to having a job where you get rostered on and off. But that's one of the pros is that if you're not rostered on, they can't force you to come in. Like this guy's TikTok page, I thought this afternoon maybe we could take calls from people whose bosses

have asked unreasonable things of them. For example, just off the top of my head, asking you to work on the day of a family member's wedding. They knew that you had a family member getting married and they then called you up last minute and said, hey, sorry, I know it's your brother's wedding, but I really need you to cover this shift. Or worse, a family member's funeral.

Surely people aren't doing that. I don't know. I don't know. That's why it's called unreasonable. Are they asking you to pay for things that they definitely should have been paying for in the job that you're doing? Like basic safety equipment and things like that.

I once had a boss who got me to run the BP station that I was working at. We were rostered on together. I was 15 years old and he got me to run the store for an entire shift on a Sunday morning while he slept off his hangover in the staff room.

And he said to me, it's only because we all trust you so much. We just wanted to give you the responsibility. We wanted to put you in charge. The worst thing I reckon I've had a boss ask me to do was I worked for this car rental company, and we used to hire out you know work vehicles or like pantech trucks for people when they're moving and so we had a few different locations around

Brisbane and this one time I was out at like one of these remote like a remote location so not many people used to come by there yeah and the boss calls me up it's like right at the end of the day he goes how many cars do you have out there? And I said, to be honest, I've only got two cars. One actually doesn't work. It needs a service. And then the other one is the car that I need to use to drive back to the location where my car is so I can go home.

He said, do you think, because I really need that one ute that's there that you were meant to drive home tonight, do you think I can rent that out and you could in any way, if I let you off early, you could walk back? I'm not joking. How far was the walk? An hour and a half. You want to know what happened?

Yeah. I walked. Did you? Yeah. We don't know any better at that age, do you? Well, I just was like, I don't have any choice. Yeah, my boss asked me to. And I walked back.

This rental car company is my career. I can't let my boss down. Oh, $800 at him or text him to 9696. The unreasonable things that your boss asked of you. We'd love to hear about them this afternoon. We'd love to air out your dirty laundry on the radio. Bree and Clint. This has opened up an absolute can of worms.

God, there's some crappy bosses, isn't there? If you have a good boss. Oh, there's one. Ross bosses just appeared at the window. If you have a good boss or even just like a normal boss, this is going to make you feel really grateful listening to these. We said, tell us what the unreasonable request is that you got from your boss.

Have a listen to this. One time, my nana had a fall and fell through a glass door and she was rushed to hospital. I let my boss know that night that I wouldn't be in the following day as I had to drive to Hamilton to sort things out. My boss had the audacity to say, isn't that what ambulance and doctors are for? What an a-hole. I need you to work.

I told her no. She then asked my colleagues to check my social media to see if I was lying. She did not pass the vibe check. What is wrong with people, honestly? What were they looking for on the social media? Were they looking for you doing a selfie with Nan covered in blood and glass fragments?

Or maybe them in a music festival. I don't know. Oh, yeah. That makes more sense. Yeah. Yeah, right. Like that was a complete lie, you know? You do an Instagram reel with Nan in the hospital.

Here we go. Let's talk to Katie on our 100 Dials at M. Hi, Katie. Hi, Katie. Hi. Tell us, Katie, did you have a bit of a crappy boss? I did. So I'm a vet nurse, so I worked in a vet clinic,

and I broke my hand at work. Right. So quite important for your hands to work when you're doing that sort of thing, holding animals and stuff. So I've heard. Right after I told my boss, she called me, and I thought she was calling to see how I was doing,

and she called to ask if I'd be in work the rest of the day because I was at the hospital. And I said, no, because I'm not allowed to drive. I was told by the doctor I'm not allowed to drive. And she said, oh, can't you just train to work every day and bus? What? She's like, we'll give you some of the animal painkillers. We'll pay for your transport card.

We can change your stitches for you if you want. Give you some of the animal painkillers. Yeah, right. Like the last text, that doesn't pass the vibe check. That's not cool. I read this one before and I'm going to read it to you and then I'm going to tell you what Brie's reaction to it was.

Okay, here's the text. Unreasonable boss requests. When I had my first farm job, my boss called me around to his house and then he got me to dig a grave in his backyard for his dog that had just passed away. I said that before and Bree goes, yeah, sounds fair enough. Does it?

The last time I was at home, I got home, literally put my bags down and my dad goes, hey, Brianna, can you come help me? I need to get in the backhoe to dig a hole to put the horse in. It died. Dig your own dog grave. You know? Well, maybe the farmer didn't have anything else for them to do.

True. It's like, oh, I haven't got something of a meal to get around to. Bit of a rough, I see what you're saying now. Bit of a rough job to get some work. Bit of a rough first day. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous.

Hello. Unreasonable boss requests. What was yours? So when I was in labour, my partner, we have got the same boss, he was asked to come and work his shift while I was labouring. What? Yeah. Whilst you were in labour?

They wanted you or your partner to work? My partner. It was just my partner, but it was his first baby, and I was like literally hours off pushing out our baby. Did they know that? Yes. And what's the job that he does? Is it like critical? Is he like a brain surgeon or they know that? Did they know that? Yes. And what's the job that he does? Is it like critical?

Is he like a brain surgeon or something like that? No, no. We work in childcare. So it was an afternoon childcare. So find someone else. You are literally about to push out his child. Find someone else.

Please tell him to find someone else. Hey, I know the childcare industry is understaffed at the best of times, but there's literally a child that I'm about to care for. It's about to come out of my partner. I might just look after this one first and then we can organise.

You poor thing, Anonymous. I would have been raging. I was not happy. I bet you were. Please tell us your partner didn't go into work He did What? He snuck away pretending to go and have a sleep

And then he came back in his uniform And I said, where have you been? You hadn't given birth It doesn't even matter if you had given birth Thank goodness But He's on my list, Anonymous Does he get it now?

Does he understand that that probably wasn't the right thing to do? I think he does because it was quite fast, so he could have missed it. Yeah, that's what I mean. Imagine if you missed the birth of your first child. If he's ever going into surgery for something, you just say, oh, sorry, babes, I've got to work. You can get yourself to and from, can't you? Yeah, no, I have to do that.

Thanks, Anonymous. We appreciate it. Anonymous. There's more texts than we can go through. Someone texted and said, my mum passed away a few years ago and I got made to work right up until the funeral and even the day of the funeral.

I was obviously stressed because my mum had just passed away and did not wear one part of my uniform. So then a few days after the funeral, I got a written warning. I'd be leaving that job in two seconds. That is so unreasonable. If you can, there's a job to quit.

That is disgusting. Someone else said, my boss texts me on my wedding day about work. I'd be ropeable. Bree and Clint. I don't know if you can tell, Clint, but at the moment I am a shell. I am a shell of a human being and I knew this was coming.

I knew it was happening because I knew that I was moving house last weekend. She's a dry husk of a person. She's like when you go into the bush and you find those cicada shells where the cicada used to live inside the shell and they've crawled out of the shell. That's exactly how I feel. That's you at the moment. Because in my opinion, in my opinion,

I don't think there is many things I hate more than moving house. I think it is actually one of the worst bloody things an adult has to do. Like when I found out as an adult, this is a part of it, take away my adulting card. Like I've been through all the emotions you can possibly feel, not to mention I was sick as well. So, I mean, that was just death warmed up just to add fun to the chaos. But someone said to me, because I've had some really lovely friends who have messaged me and said, hey, do you want us to come over and help? Like if you need anything, let us know. Honestly, I have figured out how you can tell if someone is a true friend.

Okay. Which involves moving house. Right. If a friend of yours ever asks you to help them move house, they hate you. They are not a true friend. They're not a good friend. I thought you were going to say they show up to help you move house

and I was going to go, should I have an offer? No, no. Yeah. You would never, I would never in a million years ask someone I actually like to help me move house because it is the worst job. There's nothing worse. There have been studies done and they say that it is one of the most stressful things that you will do is move house.

It's so – It's terrible. It quite literally turns your whole world upside down for a bit. And then it's not even just like, oh, it's like one day or two. Like your life is just in chaos. And I can't even imagine what it's like for people that have kids and they have to move all their crap. Like it's just absolutely the pits, the worst of the worst. It's not just moving the furniture.

It's getting the internet hooked up. It's getting the power hooked up. It's getting bloody, like, everything that goes along with it sorted. Getting used to, like, where you... Where the new shit is. Literally, getting... What's why the fog's in? How terrible is it?

Such a reasonable question, but under the stress that you're under, you're like, you just snap. You put stuff into the new kitchen and you're like, where's the pots? Oh, it's over there. Oh, I have no idea where anything is. It's just terrible. And I thought we could put it out there this afternoon. Text us on 9696.

Yes, Ella, producer Ella. We're all going to get a turn. We're all going to get a turn. You can text us or you can call us. This is going to be a game where the game is you have to name something more punishing than moving house and we will decide if it is or if it isn't because I don't think there's many. Do you think you've got one, Ella?

I've got one. Okay. And it hurts my soul. Okay. Ella? I don't think you understand how much I hate moving house. I know. What's more punishing than moving house?

When you're stepping outside, you don't have your sunglasses, and it's so bright, you can't see. Nah. I'd take that. No. I'd be moving house any day. Don't look at me like that. Clint, are you with me?

That's fine. It hurts me. I can't physically. What kind of charmed life have you led where that is the most stressful thing that's ever happened to you? I know there's worse. I could go off math exams where you cry, mowing the lawns, but I can do that. I love mowing the lawn.

I can do that. We're just going to turn her down. Just going to turn her down. Turn her down. Oh, there's some good ones coming through on the text machine. Some that I think may be worthy. Can I put one forward? Put one forward.

And I think the parents will relate to this. More punishing or as punishing as moving house. Trying to teach a baby to put itself to sleep. Oh, my God. It sounds punishing. I can't comment. Because you don't sleep. But it sounds bloody punishing.

When the baby doesn't sleep, you don't sleep. And the only thing to do is to go back in and just rub it on the tummy for a bit and go, shh, sleep time, bubba. And then you go back out and you wait for another 40 minutes. And then you go back in there, shh. Make the baby move a house. Make the baby move house and it'll sleep like a log. Because damn, that stuff is tiring.

Okay, babies are on the list. Anything else coming through on the list we want to add early? Yep. Someone said, oh, and I feel like this could be one. Someone said mortgage applications. Oh, I feel like you've got it there. I'll give that one the tick. The amount of documents you have to fill out and the number of calculations you have to do about your expenditures.

You're like, I have no idea what I spend my money on. And for all of us dum-dums, i.e. me, I have no idea what I'm looking at. Get someone else to do it. Get a mortgage broker. I'm going to give that a pass. Yeah, I'll give that a pass too. Give that a pass. Okay, we're putting together the most annoying list in the world. What else goes on that list?

What is more punishing than moving house? Do you have something? Bree and Clint. Well, there's some ticks on this. Look, we've put out the question. I am currently, I'm still in the process of moving house. It is. It doesn't happen in a day.

It does not happen in a day. Honestly, there's few things that I hate that I despise more that I think are more punishing. God, you – actually, I don't forget how horrible it is. Like if I could, I would never move again. So this afternoon, we're trying to find the list of things that are more punishing. Are we taking more punishing or just as punishing as moving house? As punishing or more.

Okay. Let's add them to the list. Someone said, someone said, teaching a class of five-year-olds whilst hungover. Did they all do it? I'll give you that one. Someone else said, hey guys, what about trying to raise a teenager who is literally you as a teenager?

Yeah, that doesn't sound great. You're angry at them for everything that you're doing. You're like, damn it. That is me. That was literally me. Someone said, losing a sneeze that you're about to just discharge. Oh, good sneeze and then it goes away? It goes away.

Oh, that's hard. As frustrating as moving house though? I'm not sure about that one. Someone said, having your parents-in-law live with you. That's pretty bad. Let's talk to Shay. I know $800,000. Hi, Shay.

Hi, Shay. Hi, guys. What goes on the list? What's as punishing as moving house? I think it's more punishing than moving house, but definitely putting up or taking down a tent in the rain. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's pretty bad. But I would argue...

Doesn't take anywhere near as long. But in Shay's defence, if you're putting down a tent in the rain, you know that you're going to have to put it back up when you get home so the tent can dry out later so you're not storing a wet tent all winter. That is punishing, Shay. Absolutely. And then what if it rains on the tent while the tent's trying to dry? Oh, Jesus Christ.

Let's not go camping. Yeah. That's terrible. It let's not go camping. Yeah. That's terrible. It keeps on giving. Thanks, Shay. Someone texted and said, moving house and losing your dog and cat in the same week. Well, yeah, okay. That's horrible.

They said the dog got sick and died and then the cat got run over on the day of moving. Oh, geez. That's grim. I don't know if I'd call it punishing. That's just horribly sad. Oh, this one's so good. Someone said, going through airport security when you're stuck behind people who have never travelled. Oh, that's punishing.

In the same vein, someone else said, trying to get off a bloody plane. Oh, that is punishing. I've been waiting behind the people who stand up too soon. Sarah's here. I know 800 dials at him. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, how's it going?

Good, thank you. Tell us, Sarah, what do you think is just as punishing or more punishing than moving house? Current teacher interviews. I've got three boys at high school and you go to seven teachers per kid at five minutes a time, and it is horrific. Who do you think it's more punishing for, you or the teacher?

Oh, probably the teacher. But I tell you what, I'm sure half the teachers don't even know who the kids are. Can't they just put, like, a comment on the report card? Oh, tell me about it. I'm not doing it again next year. You're not doing it. Yes, Sarah. I say boycott. Oh, tell me about it. I'm not doing it again next year. You're not doing it? Yes, Sarah.

I say boycott. Thanks, Sarah. Someone said, more punishing than moving house. Surely helping someone move house who hasn't packed a single thing yet. I've done that before. What? I've showed up to help someone move and they haven't packed anything yet. They're like, we've just got to put all of the kitchen stuff into all of the right boxes.

Terrible. Someone else said, as punishing as moving house, listening to Brie and Clint sing. Yep. I'd give them that. I'd give you that. 100%. No doubt about it. For the parents, someone said, when you get a kid that's sick with a tummy bug, yes, because

you have to look after them. But you know that it's coming for all of the rest of you too, and there's nothing that you can do about it. You know that it's just going to slowly the rest of you too and there's nothing that you can do about it. You know that it's just going to slowly work its way through every member of the house and one by one you're all just going to fall over, bit by bit by bit. Nightmare.

And there's also vomit and poos. Nightmare. Ryan's here. Hi, Ryan. Hi, Ryan. Hi. Tell us, mate, what's more punishing or just as punishing as moving house?

When you, like, have a yawn, but it won't come out. Oh, I hate that. I'm trying to think if I've done that. Like a stalled yawn. It's kind of like a stalled sneeze. And then you try to force the yawn, but it won't move. And then you're stuck there, like, with your mouth wide open looking stupid. Sorry, you said yawn and then I just yawned.

Yeah, he's yawning. Yeah, no, that's pretty punishing. Thanks, Ryan. Someone else said losing your wallet. Oh, that is so on par with moving house. And then you have to replace everything. That's probably one of the best ones I've seen. Someone said standing behind an old person while they order Subway.

Punishing. ones I've seen. Someone said standing behind an old person while they order Subway. Pa no shing. Someone else said trying to cancel a Fitbit premium subscription. Took over a month. Ended up having to cancel my credit card. Trying to cancel your Audible subscription? There is nothing harder in the world than trying to cancel your Audible subscription. They don't want you to be able to do it.

Terrible. When I tried to cancel my Audible subscription, they converted my Amazon account into German. And now I can't understand any of the messages that they send me. Nightmare. If Bezos is listening, I've got an extra grind. You know what else would be just as punishing?

Excuse me. As moving house? When you have to change your last name if you get married? What? A nightmare. Just change it on your Instagram and don't change it anywhere else. And someone else said listening to Morgan Wallen more than once a day. Hey. What's that one song we're playing at the moment?

When you're thinking about me. When you're thinking about me. When you're drinking, how you drinking, how you thinking about me. You're drinking the beers when you're thinking about me. Bree and Clint. Next. Sit down. Bree and Clint. Next. The grudge match resumes. It is on.

We won last week. We did win last week. It was a contentious victory, though. It was. It wasn't like a flat out. It wasn't a clean victory. Like in your face. Yeah.

Like kind of victory. It was a little bit. I literally knew the song. And you kind of gave us the lead. You just didn't know the name. No. Also, can I just say, you did win, but there was multiple times where I said,

stop, stop, let me guess again. And you talked over me. Well, technically, you can't guess again. Well, you guys were. You get one guess and then we get to have a guess. No, okay. The rules are very much in your favour. How?

Absolutely not. No, you were playing the song, trying to guess what it is. I was trying to guess and you could ignore me. Clint, she's trying to get in our hair. She's trying to get in our hair. Don't just turn the microphone on. Next, the grudge match resumes. Bree and Clint versus producer Ella in Let's Get Classical.

You can win 50 KFC chicken dollars by correctly picking the winner. You can text Bree and Clint or you can text Ella to 9696 right now. We go as the oldies. Yeah, that's us. Yeah. We're the oldies. We're the oldies. And she's the frishy.

The fetus. Yeah, the fetus. Corpse versus fetus in Let's Get frishy. The fetus. Yeah, the fetus. Corpse versus fetus. And let's get classical next. Bree and Clint. Cool. For the record, I think it's three games to Ella, one game to us. No.

Is it not? It's four games to Ella. Is it? one game to us. No. Is it not? It's four games to Ella. Is it? One game to us. And our win, we will admit, our win was contentious last week. No, it's still a win. A win's a win. She's had a contentious win before too.

Yeah, you won with an asterisk. She's trying to. I know, just don't even look at it. Don't even look at it. The corpses versus the fetus. If you've correctly picked the winner of Let's Get Classical this week, we could be about to give you 50 KFC chicken dollars. Claudia.

Hello. Just understand that this is tense and please run this game as you always do. Okay. Well. Well, I need you guys to understand also, this is my game. They're my rules. Okay. What I say goes. Got it. Okay. So this is Let's Get Classical. I've taken a pop. Can you send that to Ella as well this is my game. They're my rules. Okay. What I say goes.

Got it. Okay. So this is Let's Get Classical. I've taken a pop. Can you say that to Ella as well, please? Yeah. Ella, what I say goes. My game, my rules.

Why'd she just look at us? My game, my rules. I understand and I respect you as a producer and a woman. I'm the good one. Why'd you make it? Yeah, you cheapened it. No. None of these people respect you as a woman.

Okay, let me do my spiel. This is Let's Get Classical. I've taken pop songs. Why'd you have to go there? She's adjudicated. I'm trying to get her on our side. Oh, damn it. Now you're talking over me.

You're not... Sorry. Can I change my partner in this game? Yeah, come over here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Is everyone ready? Ready, yeah. Okay, these are pop songs

turned classical. You're guessing what they are. I need the artist and the name of the song. Yes everyone ready? Ready, yeah. Okay, these are pop songs turned classical. You're guessing what they are. I need the artist and the name of the song. Yes, Brie, do you have a question? Can we just confirm that when you buzz in with your name, you have to answer straight away, no humming after the name has been called. Buzz in if you know it.

You can't hum afterwards. But you have to listen to me, okay? Okay, we're listening to you. So stupid My game, my rules Okay Yes, ma'am Thank you, Clint

Brie and Clint, you're working together Ella, you're probably going to win Here's your first song Clint Clint Please tell me you've got it The Little Drummer Boy Come the door

No Are you kidding me? Ella, do you want a free guess? Can I have a bit more listens? The Little Drummer Boy. No. No. Are you kidding me? Ella, do you want a free guess? Can I have a bit more listens? I thought maybe... No, I'm kidding. You can have a free guess now or we'll keep playing and everyone's back in. I'll just keep going.

Okay, everyone's back in. Ella. Ella. Single Ladies Beyonce. Yes. If you like it then you should have put a ring on it. She wasn Single Ladies Beyonce. Yes. If you like it then you should put a ring on it. She wasn't even born. Come on, click.

You hate that song. You should know it. I do hate that song. You play it at every wedding, you DJ. Can we just check? I still can't hear it. I can't hear it. It's this bit. That's the one.

Oh, I can hear it there. Wow. After I knew what it was. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. It's very impressive. Okay, one point to Ella. Let's go straight into another one. Let's go.

Let's go. Ella, All Star by... Ella Allstar. Bye. Oh, she won't know the name. She won't know. Bye. She won't know the name of the band. Match spot, no. Smash Mouth.

Yes. You guys are so excited. Is that how we got here last week? On the technical calendar. Could you hear it? I couldn't hear it at all. Oh, my God. What'd you get, Jules?

Okay, we're all tied up, so this one is for the win. Everyone take a deep breath. Let's actually get one now. We all need to be friends after this, okay? Okay. No promises. No promises. If we don't win, probably not.

This is for the win. Clint. Oh, I know what it is. Clint. The Jonas Brothers sucker. Yes! Oh, dear, it felt so good to get a point in my life. That should have been in your wheelhouse too, Ella. I literally was just about to go, but that's fine.

Well done. Sure you were. That means, Jessica, for backing the oldies, you win 50 KFC chicken dollars. Yeah, the old skeleton. Yes. The old bag of bones. The saggy tins.

Come on, Jess. Jess, 50 KFC chicken dollars coming your way. Thanks, guys. You're very welcome. Thanks for believing in us. Thanks, Jess. You're welcome. One for the millennials.

We've still got it. I gave you that first point. All right, turn her off again. Bree and Clint, you're on ZM. Bree and Clint. P!NK plays in Dunedin tonight. Is that tonight? God, dummers are in for a show.

She's at Forsyth Bar in Dunedin. And she's posting up a storm around Dunedin at the moment on her Instagram account. She's there. She's enjoying the local area. I love when you see this, when you know that an artist is staying there, unlike Elton John when he was here.

Fun fact, when Elton John did his shows in New Zealand, which I only think he got one away each time, he then jetted back to Sydney after the show each night. He refused to stay here in New Zealand. He had a private jet then jetted back to Sydney after the show each night. He refused to stay here in New Zealand. He had a private jet that took him back to Sydney for the night each night. Pathetic. Why would you do that? Why wouldn't you just stay here?

Why wouldn't you just stay? We could have put you up at the Novotel or... Novotel's great. Novotel's great. Good mini bar. Excellent buffet. Anyway, Pink is staying in Dunedin. I'll show you some of the photos of the local Dunedin architecture

she's been posting. She put up a photo of a place called Mo Cuts. It's like a barber's shop. Mo Cuts. Mo Cuts. I wonder if she got her mohawk cut there. I don't know. Oh, she could have.

She could have. Or her moustache cut. Or her moustache cut there. That's where I go when I go to Dunedin to get my moustache waxed. These people had a pink poster in the window of their business, so she posted a photo of it to her million Instagram followers, which is cool. Pink also, there's just lots of randoms.

Keep it going, Claudia. There's like a dingy, dark alley there. Alleyway. And then she's been posting the perky nanas in the pinky chocolate bars. She loves them, eh? Yeah. Loves it. Also, Dunedin is jam-packed at the moment.

There is not a single bed of accommodation left. The council is opening up parking areas, so if you've got a camper van, you can come in and park. I like that idea. Because how many people are going to the show in Dunedin to pink? The stadium holds 35,000 people. That's a lot of people. There's still a few tickets left for it.

When I checked just before the show, there were tickets for $160 left. If people are still looking for accommodation, if you're going last minute, because, yeah, Dunedin, it's pretty booked out, you can ask the guys that stay at the student flat, the Big Red. I reckon they would have maybe a room. You reckon go to Hyde Street and Castle Street. You might get a staph infection, but you can worry about that later on. At least you'll have a bed to stay in.

Ria and I did a tour of that flat when we were down there for O-Week. Pretty sure it got athletes foot. The flat was like an F as far as cleanliness goes, except for the kitchen. The kitchen was probably the cleanest. The kitchen was pristine. Yeah. A lot of flies, though.

Was there? Yeah. Did you not notice that? No, I didn't notice that. There was a lot of other things to look at. They would have been eating the leftover food on the carpet. But the kitchen, clean. The kitchen, not bad.

Anyway, if you're going there, it's going to be a phenomenal show. And Pink, if you're listening, we love you. We love you so much. Pink, if you're listening,

when you come up to Auckland to do your Friday and Saturday shows, we'd love to have you in studio. We would love to have you in studio. Anytime.

All the pinky bars you can eat. Yep. And all the perky nanas you can handle What a good offer I'll get her a whole wheel of cheese I heard she likes that Was it her concert

That someone put a wheel of cheese on stage? And then someone put their mum's ashes on stage? Yes Yep And then someone had a baby Oh that's right Yep Like at the concert

Alright we can organise all three of those things for you It'll be my cat's ashes But you know Close enough What about us? Brie and Clint What about us? Brie and Clint At the concert. All right, we can organise all three of those things for you. It'll be my cat's ashes, but, you know, close enough. What about us? Brie and Clint. What about us? Brie and Clint.

Did you live at home as an adult, and did your parents charge you rent for electricity, Wi-Fi bills, how much? If you move back in now, because of the cause he lives. Yeah. And how much does it cost? How much does it cost to live at home? Because Brie and I are seriously considering it.

Like, 100%. Someone texted in and said, I paid 100 bucks a week back in the 90s to live with my mum. Six months before our wedding, mum gave me the entire amount back for our wedding expenses. She had saved all of the rent that I'd given her for six years. I don't know if it's just I'm tired. When I read that text, I got quite emotional.

Yeah. Like that's just I'm tired. When I read that text, I got quite emotional. Yeah. Like, that's such an amazing thing. And I'm sure, like, God, I can't even imagine if my mum turned around and said, you know, all the money you've paid me for rent, here it is for your wedding. And you're like, mum, you should have just given me free rent all

that time. Do you know how hard it was for me to scrape together that money to give you every week? And she would have said, well, you'd have nothing because you would have spent it on crappy tops and pants. Tasha's here. Hi, Tasha. Hi there. You used to pay rent as a teenager when you were living at home. Yeah, so as soon as I started working and doing part-time jobs and things while I was still at school and when I'd work on the weekends, I had to pay my parents 25% of whatever I earned that time.

25%. Like from what age, Tasha, are we talking? I started about 15. Okay. And then I didn't know that they saved it the entire time. So, I mean, I lived at home until I was about 23. Okay. And by then I was working full time. And when I moved out and went flatting with my best friend, they gave me, they'd actually put it all into an investment account and they

gave me a lump sum that I got to buy some really nice furniture and put my deposit down Oh my God. That's so cool. How much do you reckon it was? Oh, it must have been close to, I want to say, $3,000, $4,000. Yeah, nice. God, you would have been so stoked because that's so hard when you first move out, like buying furniture. And I didn't know they'd done it.

Nah. I didn't know. So I will definitely be doing the same with my two children when they're older. Yeah, great idea. I mean, your kids will hate you for like years because they'll be like, stop taking all my money. I thought she was going to say 40 grand, by the way. I thought she was going to

be like, because she said from 15 through to 23. But she was probably, well, she was a teenager and then she probably went to uni and so she probably didn't work all that much. Let's go to Rebecca. I know 800 dials it in. Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Bec.

Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. Are you still living at home now or is this in the past? It's current, but I actually live at my parents' holiday house. Whoa. Okay. This is interesting. Okay.

And do you live there by yourself? Well, with my partner, yes. So my parents. Far. Yeah, I get the best of both worlds. Where's the holiday house? Queenstown. Did you hear what Bec said? She goes, I get the best of both worlds, cheap rent and no parents.

Do you have to get out and go and live in their house when they want to go on holiday? No, so they actually have like a, we self-contained flat at their holiday house. So I just live in the flat. And then if they come up, they still have their house to themselves. You do have the best of both worlds. God, Becky, you've got a good deal. And how much are you paying?

I pay $200 a week. To live in Queenstown? Yeah. I've heard there's a bloody housing crisis there. Real bad. You could rent out the spare bedroom and double dip. Yeah, I think that'd kill me then. I'd be kicked out.

The landlord wouldn't like that. Oh, you've got a great deal. Thanks, Rebecca. Let's go to Kimberly. I know $800 at M. Hi, Kimberly. Hi, Kimberly. Hi. Are you currently living at home, Kim? I am at 36 years old. Nothing wrong with that, Kim. Like I said,

I'd move back if I could. Exactly. Have you ever moved out? No, and I don't have plans to either. Okay. Yes, Kim. Okay, tell us. Give it to us straight.

How much are you currently paying? So I pay $340 a month, and that's for me, my partner, and our five-year-old. Whoa! That's $110. No, it's less than that. No, it my partner, and our five-year-old. Whoa! That's $110. No, it's less than that. No, it's less than that. It's less than that. So what is it, $340 a month?

$340 divided by four. You're paying $85 a week for your whole family to live at your parents' house. Exactly. God, no wonder you're not going to move out, Kim. I reckon this is a situation, though, where your parents love it. Do they love having you there? Oh, it's just my mum. I mean, the circumstances

as to why I still live at home suck. Yeah, yeah. I knew there would be some story for it. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I wouldn't have it any other way. My mum's my best friend.

Oh, well, that's nice. It's a nice situation. Everyone kind of, you know, gets what they need and it's nice. Yeah, exactly. You know, my mum is only short, so my partner's there to change the light bulbs

and mow the lawns and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's helpful. Oh, cute. I don't have to do any washing. My mum does all our washing for us. Oh, my God, and you've got to live and babysit it when you want to go out for a date with your partner. Exactly.

My mum loves looking after my son, so it's perfect. You've got it. You've crushed it. You've got it on lock, Kim. You've got the deal. I do. Yeah. Thanks for sharing's perfect. You've got it. You've crushed it. You've got it on lock, Kim. You've got the deal. I do. Yeah. Thanks for sharing, mate.

You've got a lovely attitude. It was great to talk to you. Yeah. Thanks, Kim. Thank you. See you. Bye. I wonder if her mum's looking for any other flatmates.

I'd love to move in there. Sounds like a fun place to live. That'd be great. Plus, there's a nice tall man living there, too. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is to be a birthday banger. Let's do your birthday bangers for the hump day.

That is not today. It is Tuesday. Did you think it was Wednesday? I had. I was hoping. I was hoping. But no, it is Tuesday. Better than Wednesday.

Well, happy birthday, Jonti. Your birthday banger. We'll find that out now. You were 16 in 2012. And Jonti, the birthday girl, here it is. No. Katy Perry. The Katy Perry song that everybody thought was about Russell Brand,

but actually came out before they broke up. Oh, really? Yeah. Do you like it, Jonte? Yeah, that's a banger. Yeah, it's a banger. I like it. One more birthday banger for Caroline.

Hi, Caroline. Hi, Caroline. Hi, how are you going? Good, thanks. How's your day been, Caroline? Yeah, pretty good, thanks. Are you on your way home from work? I am, yes.

You were 16 in 1984, and on that day, this was at the top. Oh, I love it. Oh, Caroline. I love George to the end of the earth. George Michael. Who doesn't? Careless Whisper. Such a sexy song, isn't it?

Had a resurgence on TikTok. This song? Yeah. That part in particular. Yeah. Yeah, Caroline, it's a goodie. Okay, wait there. We've got to decide between Katy Perry, Savage and Timmy Trumpet,

or George Michael. I do love that George Michael song. I really like the Katy Perry song, and the fact that it's Jonti's birthday is enough to put it over the top for me today. I'm going with Jonti, the birthday girl. We're in agreeance. Yeah, Katy Perry, Jonti.

We're locking it in for your birthday. Happy birthday, mate. Thank you. Have a great dinner out. You're welcome. I will. Brian Clint, here it is from 2012. You're on ZM. Brian Clint.

The winner of Birthday Banger Today on ZM is Katy Perry and Part of Me from 2012 for Jonty, whose birthday is today. Do you remember the text we got yesterday where they said, because we chose the wrong song and they were like... Because we didn't play Carly Rae Jepsen. Didn't play Carly Rae Jepsen and they said, this is now my villain origin story because you didn't choose it. Yeah, yeah. They've texted her again.

Have they? They said, yesterday's villain here again. Thanks for choosing the worst song because that is right up the alley of a villain. Let's watch the world burn to shit Katy Perry song. So they like it? I would have thought that that song,

the person who desperately wanted. I'm pretty sure that means they like it. Thanks for choosing the worst song. Let's watch the world burn to a shit Katy Perry song. Really? No, I think they're saying let's, like Katy Perry's Let's Watch the World Burn song. And they like it.

Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Villain. I'm going to, what should we name this villain? I reckon they wanted George Michael. I reckon they liked Katy Perry.

It's hard to tell with a villain. It's hard to tell. Oh, I have text back. Clint's right. Clint's right, yeah. But I don text back. Clint's right. Clint's right, yeah. But I don't understand. If Carly Rae Jepsen was what you wanted,

then I would have thought Katy Perry was right in that wheelhouse. They text back, call me Karen. Karen the villain. The super villain. Karen would be a great Marvel villain in the next one. Her superpower would be that her haircut gives her super strength. Yeah, she has a direct line to the manager. So every time she gets that super Karen haircut. Powers her up.

It's like Thanos' glove. Karen, I know you're still listening. We've got another chance tomorrow. Another chance tomorrow. Why don't you call and play? We're going to try and turn her. Yeah, Karen, can you call if you're not happy and then you can try and have a say but a villain wouldn't do that that's not villain energy they hide in the shadows yeah yeah i said it before and i will say it again there is a big booby statue that is being

rubbed by the public too much too much okay guys we can't be having this dublin city council have gone out to people and they've said please guys dublin dublin they be rublin they rub the rub the rublin the rublin the dublin d's the dublin be rubbin there's a statue of molly malone um's Molly Malone? Fictional character Not a real person But she's kind of like part of Irish folklore This character They made a statue of her

They gave it pretty big cajongas In fact, Claudia, can you bring this up? I'm going to send you a photo of it Can you bring it up on the screen so Bree can see these? She's in like 17th century dress, like peasant dress. Yeah, it seems a bit unnecessary. They're just kind of out there. Anyway, it's a bronze statue and people, I think for luck

or maybe just for fun, have been rubbing the boobies and they've rubbed them so much that the boobs are now a completely different colour to the rest of Molly Malone's body. Well, I mean, in fairness, it makes sense. Mine are a different colour. Are they? I mean, the areolas. To the rest of your body, yeah.

The areolas. There she is. There's Molly Malone. There's your good-looking woman. Look at the cut of the top that they put on her. Why? They knew what they were doing when they made that statue. I'm not victim-blaming here, but they knew what they were doing.

I guarantee. Who do you reckon made that statue? Don't say a man. Don't say a man. I wasn't going to say a man. Who do you reckon made it? I don't know. What were you going to say?

How would a man get the dimensions of a woman so perfect? Why have they made the top so low cut? It didn't need to be that. She looks like she's breastfeeding. She's a 17th century peasant and they're like, you know what she needs? A huge rack. Needs big chuzzies. Can I also just ask, who is getting their jollies from filling up a bronze statue?

It'd be something to do with luck. You reckon? Yeah, there's statues around the world. I was telling you off air, there's that statue in Florence where they had to replace it because people, so many people, the story goes that if you touch the nose of this warthog or pig statue or

whatever it is, you get like good luck for seven years or whatever. Yeah. And it got touched so much that the nose was completely gone and they had to replace it. Oh God, they're going to rub Molly's breasts right off her chest. Yeah. Jesus.

She was. She used to be an F cup. She's gone down to an A. And if you go to Dublin, go say hi to Molly. Get a rublin'. Brie and Clint said him. Brie and Clint. That, my friends, is the end of the Brie and Clint show for another day.

Hurrah! I was meant to go out for dinner with a friend tonight. Oh, why am I saying a friend? I was going to go for dinner with our friend Ross Boss and some other people tonight. Yes. And bloody Ross cancelled two hours ago and now I don't have any dinner organised.

But you said you were going with other people. Why don't you just go without him? Nah, we're all going to go together. How many of you were there? Four of us. If one person cancels, that's so weird. I am still going. I do not give a shit.

If one person cancels last minute, I am going to dinner. What do you guys think, producers? That's such a good point. No, you don't need to poll them. I agree with you. Why did we cancel? Why aren't you going? Why did we cancel the whole dinner?

Why did you cancel? Unless it was his birthday or something. It's not. We weren't even going for him. Bring him back on board. This is the did you cancel? Unless it was his birthday or something. It's not. We weren't even going for him. Bring him back on board. This is the chat. Yeah, unless it was his birthday. No, everyone's made other plans now.

I've got air fryer chicken to go and eat. Oh, fun. You've got a big night. I was going to say, I'm free. Oh, I'm free too, actually. I'm not. It's just I've already got the air fryer warming up. What is Ross?

The glue that binds everyone together. And as soon as he comes away, it all falls apart. That is the weirdest thing you've ever said. You had to cancel the whole dinner. Yeah. I get it now. Wait, was he paying? Nah.

He just asked to rain check it. So I think it's because he took the lead. He's like, oh, I'm busy. He was organizing. I'm busy. Oh, that means the other two didn't want to go. They tapped out so easily. Who pulled out first?

Well, they don't want to dine with me. Did they? Did the other friends pull out before you? No, Ross just led the charge with the message. He's like, hey, guys, I can't make it to dinner. Wait. Can we rain check? Wait, so did Ross cancel for everyone?

Oh, that's a D move. That's not cool, man. Anyway. Anyway. That's just not cool. Have a great night, everybody. We're going to have some oven chips. Oh, yeah.

And some air fryer chicken tenders. See you tomorrow.
