Bull of Anaka, everybody, and welcome to the Brea and Clint show on a Tuesday. Oh, Tuesday. I am slowly getting more and more anxious about the roast of Bree and Clint,

realizing the mess that you and I have got ourselves. into. Yes. Because we're about to hear just awful thing after awful thing. They're going to pick apart every insecurity of ours on Friday night. My wife has just said that she would like to come. Lucy, my beloved wife, will be attending the roast of Brian Clint. I think I'm more nervous about her hearing the jokes than I am about hearing them myself. Oh, mate, it'll be stuff she's all thought a million times. She did say something today at home and she's like, you're lucky I'm not roasting you. I think you are lucky because I feel like she would do it best. Okay, there's free tickets on our Instagram page at Brian Clinton if you're willing to roast yourself

in the comments. You can go and score some of the last free tickets. It goes down this Friday at the Q Theatre in Auckland. Hey, big one on the show today. Two chances to win Robbie Williams tickets. We couldn't give them away yesterday because the person who we chose, their mum didn't answer the phone. That is the name of the game. You text through your mum's number to 9696. And her name. And her name. We try and call her. And if she answers, she wins a double pass to see Robbie Williams either in Auckland or Christchurch. It's her decision. It's her Mother's Day gift on behalf of you and us here at the Brian Clinton show. So like I said, two chances. We're going to call a mum just after 3.30. And then we're going to call another mum after 5.30. Okay? So if you don't get on the 331, that's okay. We could still be calling your mum at 530 as well with free tickets to Robbie Williams. Best Mother's Day gift going. First, though, Trady versus Lady.

or at least you would love your mum to go to Robbie Williams for Mother's Day. There's so many texts, and that's why I'm glad we have two opportunities today. No, pulls on my heartstrings because we would send every mum that we could. Yes. Can you imagine? And we are sending every mum that we can. We have five double passes to this Robbie Williams tour for Mums exclusively for Mother's Day. It's just going to be a sea of Mums at Robbie.

And me and you. And you and I. Oh, you'll be a mum by then. Oh my God, I will. Oh, crazy. Stop if I want to cry again. And I'm taking my wife, who's a mum? Oh, yeah.

Bye, bye, bye, guys. ZDM's Bree and Clinton podcast. Travis Barker, he's been in the news a lot lately because of his new relationship. New relationship? Not new relationship. Because of his relationship with Courtney Kardashian. They're married now, aren't they? They're married.

They've got a baby together. But he has babies from other previous relationships. And one of his children from a previous relationship, her name's Alabama. She has shared on a kickstream recently that there's something that Travis and Courtney don't have in their home that I would say 95% of homes do have. A shower. You'd hope that they have a shower. You'd hope. No, take a listen.

So my parents don't believe in microwaves, so I bought this off the Amazon. Oh, so they don't believe in microwaves? Yeah. The fuck their problem is. She said parents as well. Yeah. Parents. And her parents aren't together anymore.

So she's saying Travis Barker doesn't have microwave. And her mom, how quickly you forget her, the mom. Shannon Mochler, she was the one on Meet the Barker's. Remember the reality show? She need to Google who that is. Travis Barker's wife. Shanna, ex-wife. Ex-wife, yeah.

Don't remember her. She's not running a microwave either. Did they have a reality show? Yeah. Did they? Yeah, well, apparently they don't believe in microwaves. My brother-in-law doesn't have a microwave, and I don't think it's a belief system thing.

Why doesn't he have one? They just believe that they don't need one. That's ridiculous. Which is crazy to me. And yet they've got a small kitchen, but still, find space for the microwave. They also... They have in most modern kitchen

a space where the microwave goes. Especially because he built his own kitchen. He rebuilt his own kitchen. I was like, build some room for a microwave. He also, and some people can get away without a microwave these days because they've got an air friar. And you can reheat a lot of foods in an air friar. Not the same, I understand.

You can't heat up a wheat bag in the air friar. Could you imagine? Friends of mine don't have... But how do they exist? Friends of mine don't have a microwave and it's because he believes it makes the food taste awful. Oh, yeah. So it's like a taste thing.

Some people think they're radioactive. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. I had a friend who worked in a plastic surgeon's office. Yeah. So she worked for a plastic surgeon. Yeah. And she said in her time since working there,

there was stuff that she picked up on and she got rid of her microwave. Yeah, because you can't put your patients in a microwave once they've had plastic surgery. No. That's not it. And if they've had metal implants. You can't put them in the microwave. I was going to ask her why, but then I was like, oh, I don't think I want to know. You've got to be careful.

Yeah. You got to be careful. I was like, and I don't want to get rid of my microwave either. And we don't want to enrage the microwave community, the anti-micwave community this afternoon. There would be quite a lot of people that are anti-microwave. I don't doubt that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we don't want to go there. No, we don't want to go down that path.

You are entitled to your own beliefs. And cold food. That's completely up to you. And cold food, yeah. We want to know what do you not have that everyone else does have. Our producer Claudia is still upset with us because she crafted her personality around not having a TV. Yeah, you make us so I'm grateful. So Brea and I bought her a TV for her birthday, so she'd shut up.

Now I have nothing. No, I have nothing. It's one of my core pillars and you took it away from me. You'll find something else. Daddy Franklin. We couldn't get this person on the phone, but I want to start with the fridge text. Someone said, hey guys, I used to have a fridge, but I gave it away. I only buy what I will eat now.

and finish now. No leftovers. Life of being a bachelor, Toby. I would put $100 on the fact that Toby has one pillow. One pillow, yeah. And no, no, no, he's got pellet. He's got a palette. He's got a palette? Palet with a mattress on the floor. One pillow? Why would I need more than one pillow? But also, Toby goes to the supermarket every day. Yeah, nah. Because if he wants to eat meat, he has to buy it that day. What about like? Get a fridge, Toby. What about like milk for like your tea or your coffee? Like you're not using all of the milk in one go, are you?

Lacey's here. Hi Lacey. Hi, Lacey. What do you not have that everyone else does have, Lacey? I don't have a kettle. And I haven't in many, many, many years. Not even one of those stovetop ones. No.

Interesting. So what happens if you want like a hot drink? I know. I do put it in the microwave, which I know is horrible. You microwave yourself a glass of water. Well, sometimes. If I need it for tea or, yeah. If I need more than a little bit of hot water, I'll put it on the stove.

Oh, yeah. Lacey. Like a pioneer woman. I am from Texas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I detected an American accent. And I was shocked when I lived in America for a couple of years, Lacey. And you correct me if I'm wrong.

But electric kettles don't exist in America. They do not. I moved to Australia. I think in 2002, and it was the first time I'd seen an electric kettle, and I was just... And Goldsmithed.

What is this? You guys also don't have on-off switches on your PowerPoints, do you? No, we don't, but I wish we did. That's a great invention. Crazy. I put it down to, Lacey. I don't know if this is right,

but I feel like it's something like the system can't actually power an electric kettle. Because when I moved there... Really? The drawer is too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My GHD wasn't able to work in their powerpoints because it needed to use too much. Yeah, the voltage.

Yeah. The voltage is different. Well, Lacey, the sun's going down, so we better let you go. You've got to stoker fire and... Good luck on your pilgrimage. Russell up some dinner. So, yeah, very good. Good luck turning that butter.

The Erin's here. Hi, Erin. Hi, Erin. Hi. What do you not have that everyone else does? A smartphone. Oh. A smartphone.

Tell us more. I literally use a button phone. Do you? Why? What's the reason? Well, when my smartphone just kept breaking and it's just like too expensive to keep fixing. You lost smartphone privileges. I did. Do you have social media? Yeah, but not really.

How old are you, Erin? I'm 30. Wow, so you're like right in the thick of like your fellow like friends. and family and people having social media, but you're just like, nah. Yeah, unless you catch up with me, you don't hear from me. Is it kind of love it?

Is it actually the dream, Erin? Is it awesome? It's actually great. Like, I feel like I, like, don't have any, like, since I've had a button phone, I don't feel like I'm constantly worried about social media. Everything. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, well, don't rub it in here, okay? Some of us are very anxious over here, okay, with a lot of notifications. Erin's so mysterious, isn't she? Thanks, Erin. We asked, what do you not have that everyone else has? Someone said a friend of mine is 45 and doesn't have a driver's license by choice.

Just CBF getting it. Nah, I hate that one. I hate that one. Get your license. Like, get your shit together. Someone said, I don't have Botox and I'm 40. Yeah, that's quite unusual. Someone else said, I have lived in New Zealand and,

I've rented the whole time, never with a dishwasher. I've got two kids and still no dishwasher. Yeah, right. The place I lived in, the last place I lived in in Australia, which I was renting, didn't have a dishwasher. And I... Once you go dishwasher, you can't go back. If you don't have a dishwasher, that's okay.

But once you've had one, you can never go back. What would you rather sacrifice? Here's a question. What would you rather sacrifice? A heat pump? Or a dishwasher. Oh, dishwasher. Be cold otherwise.

Yeah, true. Yeah, that's crazy. That's a stupid one. What would you rather sacrifice a dishwasher or a microwave? Microwave. You'd get rid of the microwave. 100%. I'm keeping the dishwasher.

What about you? Yeah. I use the dishwasher more. I put my food in the air friar. I put my food in the air fryer. And you can boil your water on the stove. I don't have crocs. Someone said.

someone else said, I don't have an appendix. Well, we can't argue with that. ZD.N's Brankland. Fresh and a episode of Celebrity Treasure Island last night. No spoilers, okay? This does not include any spoilers, so don't worry about that if you haven't caught up yet. But there is a scene in there in which a shirtless Simon Barnett absolutely steals the show. Yeah, look, I'm not going to lie.

I've seen many celebs come and go. In the flesh. Yeah, some very attractive... Oh yes, we've had some super attractive fit individuals over the years on this show. Never have I seen up close a physique in such good neck more so than Simon Barnett. It's crazy.

Listen to the blokes on his team, including Vinnie, who is a male model himself, observing Simon having an outdoor shower. Someone looks ripped. Look at that. He's got an answer on the bag. And then look about it. How's how?

Simon's looking hot. There is a well-built man right there. He's, he's, um, he's stacked. Honestly, in real life, in real life, and I'm not exaggerating, it looked like some sort of, um, um, dummy that they use in, for medical students to show you where every single muscle in the body exists. He looks like that picture where they've stripped all the skin and fat away. Yes. And it's just the muscles that are left. You can see certain muscles that I never even realized you had inside your body.

And he's had this rig for years too. He won Dancing with the Stars about a decade ago and he looked like this. Actually, I think he might look better now than when he won Dancing with the Stars, which is insane because that man is a grandfather. He's 59. Yeah. He's in bloody good, Nick. Yeah.

So what's my excuse? How much time do you reckon, like, realistically, do you have to spend inside a gym to look like that? I want to say, I want to say at least five hours a day. No, five hours a day. No, there's professional athlete levels. He's not only five hours a day. I reckon at least two hours in the morning and then I reckon he hits at two hours in the afternoon.

I bumped him into him in Les Mills in Christchurch last year and I was on my way out having done a thoroughly half-assed workout and he was on his way in and I can tell you he was a man on a mission. Like he was in the zone and I was definitely interrupting his flow. Like I was getting between him and the weights machine. I know for a fact my brother who is a built individual. He is a very muscular human.

Yeah. And he is at the gym two and a half, three hours every day. Oh my God. Yeah. It's a part-time job. It is. And so now I'm taking what I know about my brother. Yeah.

And then I look at Simon where he does not have one percentage of body fat. So I reckon he's at the gym three. I want to say four hours a day. I don't want to believe it But who knows I know no one asked me But not worth it You said what I found interesting

Because you have done a lot of seasons Of Celebrity Treasure Island You said you reckon Simon Barnett's In better condition than Art Green was When he was on the show In terms of body fat percentage That's wild Like I've never seen anyone more ripped

Than Simon On Celebrity Treasure Island Someone's just text us I'm sorry Simon Barnett is 59 I've got to start working out Yeah. We've got to start working out like 10 years ago. You know who's, because we're asking the question this afternoon,

are your parents in better shape than you? Yeah. You know whose parent is in phenomenal shape? Your dad? No, my dad's in awful shape. Oh, is he? Oh, okay. He's had two knee replacements.

He's getting his other shoulder done soon. Yeah, but the bits that aren't are getting pretty good, aren't they? He had a hip replacement. Yeah, he's got a solid core, though, doesn't he? He's a typical farmer. He's absolutely run his body into the ground. No, sorry, who? Was Art Green's father?

Have you ever seen Art Green's father? No. I saw him on social media, and I'd never even thought about it. I was like, I wonder what Aunt Green's parents are like. His father literally looks like him, but older. So it's genetics. Well, or his father's passed down his good habits to his son. No, no, no.

I hear what you're saying. It's genetics. I was cursed at birth. I understand. I'll give up now. I think you should. Yeah, I think so too. Oh, $100 at them.

You can text us on 9669696. Our question for you this afternoon is, is one of your parents or both of your parents in better condition, better shape, they have a better physique than you? Is your dad doing the coast to coast and you're doing a pub crawl? Also, just a side note, are you someone where you would say you are ripped to shreds?

Like you are super, super fit. And how long do you spend in the gym? How many hours a day, roughly, how many times a week? ZDEM's Breed and Clint's podcast. Do not watch Liberty Treasure Island if you were a man with body image issues because 59-year-old Simon Barnett will make you spiral. The man is in the most insane shape, not just for a 59-year-old. For anyone?

For anyone. Yeah. For a 29-year-old. Out of the seven seasons that I have hosted, I would say his rig is the best one I've seen. The team that won that pizza challenge, they didn't give them a cheese grater. But that's okay,

because Simon just got the block of Colby and ran it up and down his body shredded. Yeah, it was wild scenes, to be honest. So we're asking, like Simon, who's your grandfather, are your parents or grandparents in better shape than you are? Mia has called through Mia or Maya? Oh, yeah. Mia?

Mia. Mia. Maya. Oh. Mia. Hello. Oh, are you there? Hello.

Is that Mia? Yeah. Mia. Are your parents in better shape than you, Mia? My dad is 52. Yeah. And he constantly goes to the gym every day. He's a qualified firefighter.

He plays golf with my mom. And my mom just turned 50 this year. And she went and did a 10K run in just over an hour on the weekend. Oh. Disgusting. Your parents need to stop making us all feel bad, Mia. I know. Hang on, hang on, hang on on on.

Is it rubbed off on you? Are you also, are you like a crossfitter or a power lifter or something? Um, I'm a lazy teenager. A lazy teenager. Fair enough, Mia. And you enjoy being a lazy teenager. It doesn't last forever. You enjoy that teenage metabolism.

Yeah. You know, don't run a marathon before you have to. Bex is here. Hi, Bex. Hi, Bex. Hi. Are your parents in better Nick than you, Bex? Oh, man is.

like mountain bike and road cycling hell out do me any day. Really? What was it? Did he have like a midlife crisis or a health scare or something, Bex? Or has he always been fit, though? He's always been pretty fit, but then he did take on the vegan lifestyle more for fitness, not because of the vegan. He's vegan too.

Interesting. Does he have a six-pack, Bex? Look, I don't look that closely since my father. No, but you would know if he does. Yeah, you would have seen at the beach, wouldn't you? I'm not asking to run your hand up and down his chest or anything, but... Yeah. Describe his picks for us, Bix.

Like he's gym in most days, I'll give him that. Is he single? No, he's married. No, except my parents aren't married, but no, he is not my mum. Bex is my hands off my dad. All right, thanks, Max, we appreciate it. We asked, are your parents in better shape than you? Someone said, not my mum and dad, but my 58-year-old uncle just finished his seventh Iron Man this year,

and my auntie has run 13 marathons. Oh, calm down. Like, honestly. Leave some marathons for the rest of us. What are you trying to prove? Someone says my mum is 66 and played 16 games of badminton over the weekend while I was at home having wine and cheese.

Hell yeah. That's nice. I'm currently doing a TV marathon, catching up on the boys. My mum is doing the New York Marathon in her 60s. The New York Marathon. They reckon is so hardcore. It's cold. It's freezing.

Someone else said, I just had to pull over because I need to text you about not my dad, but my boyfriend. He's 69 and he's ripped. Yeah, he is. I'm 59 and reasonably musly. He only spends about an hour

at the gym every day, but does physical work all day as well. Oh my God, he's 69. He'd be a landscaper. My dad works out one to two hours per night in his home gym. He has Parkinson's. whereas I have been diagnosed with being a fatty at 23.

Shit, man. It's a clinical diagnosis, is it? Yeah. You live to the doctor and they're like, it's bad news. God. You've got fatty. Far out. Is there any cure?

Yeah, diet and exercise. Oh, I guess it's terminal. It's bad enough. It's bad enough if your dad was in the home gym one to two hours a night. And he's got Parkinson's. Oh, my God. He's got no excuses. I have no excuse.

Someone said my father started playing over 35. football at the age of 52. I retired from playing over 35's football at 35. He still mugs me off about it. That's brilliant. Art Green's father walked past me when I was starting the Walk 50Ks in May. He did it effortless me. Yeah, I'm telling you.

I'm telling you. It's like Art Green, but a Silver Fox version. Like a vintage Art Green. Oh. Like, you know how you can have like a modern Porsche or like a a vintage Porsche. Yep, and that's what I reckon he drives. Yeah, a bit more maintenance here and there.

Or he drives like one of those vintage Harleys, you know, with like a leather jacket that he bought when he was 30. Yeah, still fits. That's what Art, yeah, exactly, that's what Art Green's dad was. You were talking about Simon Barnett's body fat percentage. Someone said, guys, 90% of getting into a low body fat percentage happens in the kitchen, not the gym. Are you telling me that whatever,

I eat, I could then 90% of what Simon Barnett gets. I don't think so. Do you want to try? No, because I feel like... You know with a pregnant partner, that would be the worst time for you to try? It would be... You need to be sympathy eating. It would be a hate crime to order to her. It would be a hate crime to order to be so insensitive.

And you know what? And I am a selfless person and I can't do that to her right now. You're exactly right. I need to be there to support my partner. So tonight, both of those garlic breads go. on the oven. Oh yeah, no, it was happening. One for her? One for you. And maybe a block of chalky as well. Maybe a loaf for the baby, the ZDM Podcast Network.

What was I saying? You said they're dumb And They can never do what you do is what you said. Oh, what a load of crap. I don't think any of that. I do, I think the Gen Z is...

I don't think that. You're the one that said it. No, I was echoing your sentiment. Well, I wasn't echoing. I was just repeating it now because people realise you're making it up and it's just you're saying your opinions. I'm pro Gen Z.

Famously, actually. What do you love about them? The way their knees don't crack when they bend down. Their agility. their energy their women vigour. I don't like how they've

pretty much cancelled phone calls. I don't love that about Gen Z. I feel like we got that started though. Is it our fault? In fairness, I feel like the millennials

kind of started that trend. Anyway, there's a lot of good things that the Gen Z has bring. I do believe that. And I'm willing to get on board with some of the fashion trends which I have gotten on board with. Okay?

The centre part, Took me a long time. They did you a solid with that. But I got there. Yeah. The long socks. I'm on board with that. Yeah.

Even a crop top I'll wear from time to time. With a high-wasted bike short. With a high-wasted pant. I will not do it without that. But this next Gen Z clothing trend, I cannot condone. I do not approve and I will never. I repeat, I will never be on board with this. Save this, Claudia.

That comment right there. Ever. Ever, ever, ever, ever. Ever. Never, ever. Never, ever. Because never say never. That's what Justin Bieber said.

I'm saying never. Okay. And I'm going to get Claudia to put up a picture of the new Gen Z trend on the TV. And I like to call this the camel toe for your feet. Yeah. It's a shoe camel toe. Yeah. Because, I mean, I believe the camel toe originally started.

The Millennials, different version. Higher up the body, though. Different version. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I'm looking at is a Gen Z in loose fitting caprice with... Which is a... Which I hate those as well. What the hell?

Who's wearing a loose three-quarter capri? And then on the feet are what you would traditionally call ballet flats. Which... But then there is a split between the big toe and the second toe, and that split like a jandal goes up, except it's leather. And it looks like the toe of a... It looks like a hoof.

It looks like a hoof. It looks like a hoof of a cow. Yeah. And can I say, God, I hate a ballet flat? And then they've gone and they've taken one of my most hated pieces of footwear, a ballet flat, and then they've put an extra toe into it. I don't understand what is happening. Do you know how much those are worth?

No. Those particular ones. What brand are they? It's a brand. They're calling it the tabby shoe, by the way. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah. My wife actually has a pair. Do they look like that?

Yeah. Oh, get in the bin. Get in the bin. I cannot support this. I cannot support it. The tabby shoe. They come in all different prices. But this particular one retails for $1,500.

Hey? Hey, $1,500. I don't endorse that. There are others that you can get for around 200 bucks. There'll be a Zara version that we could get you and will get you. I refuse. Not only is it my most hated shoe, the ballet flat, look at it. God, everything is a season with you, isn't it?

These are the exact words that came out of your mouth when we started doing the show about crocs. And now what do you own? I don't own crocs. You do own crocs? The ones you use. forced me to own? No, I didn't get your own pair for the garden? No, I never did.

But you don't hate them anymore, do you? No, I hate them. Oh. I never got on board. Wow. When I feel passionately about something. It's also okay to admit that some things are just not for you. Crocs are not for me.

I can't pull them off. And these are just downright ugly. You could pull these off. I don't want to pull them off. Claudia, can you show Clint the sport version? Is there a sport version of these kimaltosians? Nike have released these hideous sport versions. Yeah, yeah.

Not okay. How is it sporty? Oh. See, I can see you wearing that one a bit more. No, you can't. Be honest with yourself. I can see you wearing that one more than the other one. And look, I will be the first to say, I'm not a fashionista,

but I have more style than to wear those. Someone said, yes, Clint, she could pull them off. pull them off and never put them back on again. Thank you. Can we all unite against the Gen Zitters that we will never wear these hideous tabby shoes? Someone said I just googled them. What the if are those?

They are bad. They're bad. Well, never stay never. No, I'll say never. There's a non-bellet flat. There's one with a heel in it. A kitten heel, my other most hated pair of shoes. Call it.

A ZM's Brinklin podcast. It is a Tuesday and on Tuesdays we go looking for a name in a haystack. The hardest, goddamn competition on the radio, which we have failed at, oh, I don't even know how many times. I could work it out though. It goes up $50 a week, so that's how we know how many times we fail because we've never won and how much can they win today. They can win $3,350. So what's the math on that? $67, $60, which means we've failed 66 times so far.

Shit, I hope we went on the 69th. Oh, that'd be nice. We had high hopes of doing it on the 50th, but yeah. Always a win. Here's how it works. We get a random name and a random business. We call that place, and if that name answers, they win $3,350 today. No strings attached.

Claudia, what are you choosing today? I'm on location today. Location. Okay, let's deal with location first. Where? Where are we calling? We found out that Bree is having a baby, and this is where I assume all good babies are from. The Baby Factory! Yeah, the Baby Factory! Which one?

Sylvia Park in Auckland. Okay, great. Busy baby factory. I've got to go there to look at some strollers. Yeah. Do you call it a stroller or a pram? Pram. Yeah, I think Aussies, we call it stroller.

They'll know what you're looking for. They're expert. They'll be like, sorry, man, we do not speak to Australia. Ella's not here but you said she has supplied you with a name. Yeah, she sent one through and I haven't heard it yet so it might match up but it might not. I banned her from picking

the names in this game. This is our day to choose someone else to pick the name. But anyway she's going to pick a name like amphibian or something. Gill. Who works in the baby factory recording to Ella? Okay, I've got it. Today's name and a haystack name will be John.

I don't want any arguments over boring John. No, I think there's any John's out there. Solid. Yeah. Why, you don't like it? I feel like women work at the Baby Factory. And all my experience is lovely women that work in the Baby Factory.

But she didn't know we were calling the Baby Factory. And that's why it is random and that is name in a haystack. So let's call the Baby Factory. Claudia, connect the call. And if John answers the phone at the Baby Factory Sylvia Park, he will win $3,350. God, Ella will be so pissed if John picks up and she's not here. Good luck to all of us.

Okay, good luck everyone. Especially John. Good afternoon, welcome to Baby Factory. Gene speaking. Oh my God. Did you say your name was Gene? Yes. Jean? Jean.

Hi, Jean. It's Bree and Clint calling from Zidium radio station, Jean. How are you? I'm good, thank you. You're not going to believe this, Jean. Oh, Jean. We play this game on our show called Name and a Haystack. We call it be closer.

We call places looking for a random name. And today, if your name was John, you would have won $3,350. Oh. How do you spell it? How do you spell Jean? J-E-A-N. Oh, my God. It's so close, Jean.

It's Lady John. It's literally Lady John. It's your shit, me. And we have to find you something, because that's crazy. So we're going to find you a consolation prize. Also, before we leave. you, Jean. What would you recommend the Noonah Stroller or the Bugaboo? Oh, probably the Noonah?

Yeah. Bree's having a baby, so she's got to get one. I'm having a baby? Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Okay, cool. I'll be in to see you soon, Jean. Okay, thank you. Is there a John that works there? There is a nay. No, we are all ladies here. I knew it! I knew it!

So we were never going to win. I knew it. All right, Jean. You're a doll. We appreciate you. Thanks so much. Hold the line, Jean. Hold the line, Jean. We'll get your prize for you. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, right.

That's mental. Is that not crazy? Literally the female version. Is it the female version of John? We were looking for J-O-H in. We got J-E-A in. Oh. I'm just checking what is the female version of John.

Yeah. Jane, Joan or Jane. That's our best. That's, I know I don't to fail, but I reckon that's our best ever. That's crazy. Crazy. It could not get closer. I want to give her half the money.

We can't, but I want to give her half the money. That is not how Namina Haystack works. And next week. Well, add it to the rich tapestry of Name and a Haystack. They'll be playing for $3,400. Play ZDM's Bree and Clint. Got a big talking point on the show last week was communal towel usage. And whether you were raised in a communal towel family or an individual towel family,

and what trait you have carried forward as an adult. We learnt that our very boss who walks among us here at ZM, him and his partner share a towel. Yes. One towel is in use. One towel between two. At any one point in their bathroom. We were also reminded that our producer Ella,

who's not here to defend herself, when she was living at home, she would share a towel with her mum and sisters. Yeah. By choice. Yeah. It wasn't a big deal. They had more towel.

communal town family She was into the communal towel And we also learned that a lot of our listeners Are communal towel people So we just go It blows my mind though Still to this day that blows my mind So we temper our

We temper our Judgment I had a thought though Yeah of course I mean there's gross stuff that I do It's not bad I don't do that but I do other gross stuff But I had this thought

Where I actually I'm not sure now If I grew up in a communal town family. I feel like I have maybe blocked the trauma out of my mind. Get ready's mum on the phone. Yeah. Like I actually... I know for a fact that I'm not from a communal towel family. See, I don't know that for a fact. I don't know.

I can't remember either. This could explain so much. What do you mean? Or just about your position, you know? You're like so anti-communal towel. Yeah, I think it's from the trauma. Maybe you've got trauma. It's so funny because how things get put into your like into your attention, whatever it is, when you're talking about them. Yeah, they kind of, they pop up. So we've been talking about communal towels. And then I saw this post on Reddit today.

Okay. And it says, my girlfriend still lives with her parents. Am I the odd one out for feeling uncomfortable that when I'm around at my girlfriend's house, she insists that I use the one and only towel in the bathroom. Yuck. After I shower. The same towel that both of her parents, her and her two brothers use.

A towel on this planet, for one, this is my first point, is that absorbent that it can... Service five people a day. No, there's no towel on the planet. It smells damp. Oh, although she says it's fine because it gets washed once a week. Oh! Let's just do some quick math. So say they're only doing one shower each.

a day, even if it's one shower each a day. Oh, that's so yuck. Oh, that makes me feel sick. There's 42 washes that towel gets a week before it goes in the washing machine. 42 showers. 42 dries. Dried 42 bodies. When she's around at mine, I give her her own fresh towel to use, which I thought was normal. I'm not crazy, am I? No. What we're realizing here, Bree, or at least what I'm realizing is there are two types of people,

and that is people who view a towel as a personal item. Yes. And those that don't. Like once it goes in the washing machine and gets washed, we can all agree that it's free rain from there. Once it's clean. I'm not that anal about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's fine. But it should not be used by more than one person when it's in rotation. We couldn't get your mum, but we did manage to get your dad. Good evening, Big Steve. Hi, Dad. Good night, guys. How are you? Not talking about, we're good, Steve.

And congrats on the exciting news. We haven't talked to you since then, by the way. No, you haven't, thank you. You're going to be a non-no for the fifth time, Dad. Yep, I'm getting accustomed to being a non-o again. That's Italian for grandfather, isn't it? Because here in New Zealand, non-no means bum. You're going to be the best bum ever, Dad.

I might be a non-no-n-no. A bum-granddad. You're going to be a bum-bub. Steve, can you take a trip? back in time in your mind to when Brianna and the kids were little. Yep. Do you remember, did you guys have your own towels in the bathroom? Or were you sharing a towel?

Like the towel would get washed, used and then hung up and someone else would use it? It was, I think, for the kids, unfortunately, they were communal towels, yep. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. to have mine because it was pretty rank every night. Yeah, well, you were out there, you were out there working the land, weren't you? That's right, getting a lot of, yes. Yeah.

I knew it. So just to confirm. I felt somewhere I'd pushed it so far down into my memory because it was traumatising, Dad, that I had to wipe my face with the same towel that my brother was wiping his bits and pieces on that I tried to forget. It's, you know, it's character. building. I'll show you now.

Character building. It's character building. It's immunity building. It hardens you up. It hardens you up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Piss off. No.

Oh, yuck. No. All right. It's got a good, rough and tough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's good too because Bree's been throwing stones at people who share a towel. And here she is in her own glass house of towel sharing. Since I left the home.

History. Since I left my family home, I can. say, I don't believe I've ever implemented the rules of the communal town. And this is probably good reason. So, Dad, you're telling me, you're telling me, Dad, you used to make me, my brother and my sister, we used to bathe in the same water,

and then we used to all use the same towels together. Yeah, so what's wrong with that? Yeah, I agree, Steve. Yeah. And can I say, Bree, don't forget your roots, okay? Yeah. Remember where you came from? Remember who you are.

I'm so disgusted. Thanks, Dad. Thanks, No, No, we appreciate it. Thanks, No, no. Thank you, guys. Bye-bye. I knew it. I had a feeling.

You got a baby on the way. You guys need to save some money. Maybe you need to cut down the number of towels you use it. Absolutely not. Go down to a one-tow family. No way. Never. I'm going to buy more towels to compensate.

Single-use towels. Dead ends. Bree and Clint podcast. Bree and Clint. All I want through my birthday, birthday bangers. But first, let's do your birthday bangers. Number one songs when you turn 16.

but I'm looking at you. The winner of birthday banger today is the Pussycat Dolls and Beep. This is going to mess up your whole timeline. That was number one on this day 20 years ago. Wow. Today, because that was Charlotte's birthday banger and it's her birthday today. That's the song I dislocated my thumb to. Oh, doing the...

Yes. Yeah, with the chair. You know those plastic garden chairs. We've all had them either. They come mostly in white. dark green. Yes, another ones. And this song comes on at a barbecue slash party.

Yeah. It was quite late in the night. Yeah. And I've started to, you know, do a little bit of a routine around the chair. Yeah. And I think my big finishing move was I grabbed the chair. Yeah. My thumb's gone through that hole, like one of the holes that's in the bottom of the chair.

Yeah. And I've went to flick. Because in the film clip, that's what they do. They throw the chair away. They throw the chair away. Yeah. And I went to flick at, the chair got caught and has completely dislocated my thumb. And then you said, beep.

Perfect. Perfect for the song. ZD.M.'s brainclint. I feel like there is a million streaming platforms out there these days. And not only that, just a million subscriptions. I feel like, you know, we're paying for Spotify or you're paying for Dropbox. You're paying for bloody Google Drive. But there's a million things out there. Uh-huh.

You're absolutely right. That you're bloody painful. And I came across this article where they were talking about how much certain things have gone up in price over the last. I believe it's three years. So not that long. Yeah, because I remember when they came on the scene and you're like, oh, that's a bargain. I can get Netflix and I can watch as much as I want for $9.99 a month. Boom.

That's crazy. Why wouldn't I do it? Love it. Yeah. Well, do you want to know what are the prices that Netflix have had over the years? Yep. You do and you don't, right? I do and I don't, that's the thing.

So Netflix went from $999 in 2019. So back in 2019, we were all paying $9.99. And loving it and sharing our account with our whole family. True. And having it at the holiday batches, wherever you went. Netflix was ever... And I feel like Netflix were like, All good, bruh.

All good. We're fine with that. We're the good guys. Went from $999 in 2019 to a whopping $17.99. Now. Yeah. Yeah. For the basic Netflix.

Now, I'm no mathematician, but I believe that's an 80% price hike. Mm-hmm. That's crazy. That's pretty wild, eh? The next one I want to look at is Spotify, which it just lifted its premium price recently. Did you see this? Yeah, I did, yep. So it went from $1899 to $20.99, a 10% bump.

Which is, again, it's crazy. But let me tell you this. Back in 2023, how much do you think Spotify Premium was? In 2020. In 2020. How much? So it's not that long ago. No.

1499. And again, if you're old enough to remember, the reason we got Spotify is because it was cheaper than buying CDs. Right. You know? But there was no way that I, but CDs were 2290. 99. And there was no way I was buying a CD a month, you know? If I've done the math correctly, that's a 40% increase in Spotify in three years.

Yeah, but we can't trust your math, so. I'm pretty sure. Went from 1499 to 2099. Anyway, moving on. You've also got your platforms like Amazon Prime, which has doubled. Yep. And did you just shake your head at Claudia like I'm wrong? No.

Absolutely not. Carry on with your numbers. Something in my eye. Yeah. I demand. I was shaking my head out of sheer disbelief. No, no. Twing in my neck. You went, you looked at a quality of which she's wrong.

No, no, I was like, oh, golly, no way. Because someone on the text machine. Oh, gosh. No, I'm going to die. I'm going to die on this hell now. So I have said, I've went on the record and said that Spotify went from $14.99 to $20.99. And I said that's a 40% increase in just three years.

Mm-hmm. Is that right? So $6 is 40% of $14.99. And what did you say the new prices? $20.99. Am I right? It's just you have a track record. So we just...

We didn't think you were wrong. You know, that's fair. I wouldn't have believed me. Play ZM's Brian Clint on Insa, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from three on ZM.
