Show requested, so here it is. As long as you've got da-da-da-da. It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. ZM's Brie and Clint, thanks to KFC. ZM's Brie and Clint. But in the morning. Morning, everybody. Welcome to the Bree and Clint show.

Filling in for Fletchford and Haley again. Morning, guys. Short week really coming into effect now. Only one more day after this. Yeah, it's technically Thursday. Yeah. That's a good way to look at it. Our producer Claudia is making an early play for MVP today.

She's shown up with a whole bag of frozen hash browns. But to counter that, I was late, so. Yeah, well. You weren't really. Now that's fair. You were like, what, 15 minutes late? Yeah, that's bad for me. Big warp.

What is late at this time of the morning? That's true. I cut off another breakfast host in traffic this morning. Did you? Yeah, I didn't realize I was doing it. Well, it wasn't me, so who was it? I was just turning into the car park and my phone started ringing and it was Nixon from My FM and he goes,

bro, do you know how to indicate? So apparently, coming down Hobson Street, I completely cut him off. God, you could have, I don't know, made it so you didn't get to work so it gave us a chance. Oh, give us the competitive edge. Well, maybe that's what I was trying to do. Maybe I was trying to run him off the road. Did you see the guy across the road working out on the footpath?

No. Like just outside of commercial building? Yeah, buzzy. And he had like a yoga mat down and he was doing like sit-ups and stuff. Did you see him called? I saw him. By the time I got here, he was stretching in the bus stop. That's crazy, eh?

Yeah. Because you don't know what other people's timelines are, like the schedulers. I was driving to work. I think it was on Tuesday, which was yesterday. and there was a guy where I live in the village just doing his morning walk at 20 past 4 in the morning I don't get that right Has he just finished work or is he getting it in before work?

What's the deal? I wonder what that's like to be able to walk at that time of the morning. You could give it to go tomorrow. Absolutely not. I would not feel safe. I would never feel that safe. He didn't even have a dog with him. Terrifying.

Um, okay, fun show on the way. Let's get into it. Next, Bree's going to tell you how much Daniel Craig made from his time is James Bond. Interesting. I've got a theory that he ruined the James Bond franchise. Why do you think that? Because he was too good. You reckon.

Yeah, he's kind of made himself irreplaceable. It's very hard for the next James Bond to measure up to Daniel Craig. This might be a hot take. I feel like he lacked personality. Oh. And charisma. Oh. Like, I don't know.

Like he was good, don't get me wrong But I feel like there is room For a more charismatic Bond is all I'm saying Okay It's a hot take Like Idriselba He would never like charisma

Old bonds Retirement Home Bond The charisma would be Oozing out of the guy If we're going to get Idraselba You could just get Pierce Brosnan again If we're going that old Kane

I'm keen for that Who? Pearce Brossonan will always be my bonds. Play ZDems, Bree and Clint. How long have we been talking about who the next bond is going to be? Which goes to my point that Daniel Craig ruined James Bond by being too good. It's so hard to replace him. They're stuck.

You know? There's so much pressure on the next guy. The last James Bond movie that came out was no time to die in 2021. And I feel like we have been talking since 2021 who the new bond is going to be. Yeah, exactly right. And every year, Brie has said Idriselba, and every year Edrisalba has got one year older from an age where he was already too old to James Boy.

Name a better candidate than Idriselba. Callum Turner. Who's that? Do I leave his husband. Every time I say his name, you go, who's that? Well, it just goes to show. I don't know if he, well, what would I know? You know how people don't like being referred to as so-and-so's wife or so-and-so's husband.

I am my own person. I'd be totally fine with being referred to as Dua Leeper's husband. If that's all I had achieved. Yeah, that's because she's way more famous than him. Yeah, okay. You don't reckon? No, no, she is. Okay.

She is. If he became Bond, it would be a different story. Yeah. I was reading an article about Daniel Craig, which was talking about how much he made from his time as Bond. Which was a long time. Guys. Did he come in like 2003?

A long time. 2006 was his first movie, Casino Royale. And his last one was no time to die in 2021. They paid him a crazy amount to do more than he was meant to, right? To keep him more? I believe so. I don't think anyone has done more Bond films than him. He's done the most out of anyone.

Is that right? I think you're right. Sean Connery would be up there though. I feel like he did quite a lot. But let's talk about how much they believe Daniel Craig made from his time doing the Bond films. Do you want to have a guess? How much do you get for one Bond movie?

That's the thing I don't really know. And obviously it's gone up a lot. I'm going to say James Bond made $150 million from being James Bond. Daniel Craig According to reports made 109 million Sorry, I went too big Yeah Always ruin it like that

109 is outrageous Yeah that's a lot of money It's a lot of money He only did what, how many, five films He had to get extremely ripped for all of them though You know And that's hard, that's hard work I could do it for 109 million

Could you? Yes Could I? Yeah, see You hire a nutritionist, personal trainer, and that's all you do. It's your full-time job. Now, you've got to learn the lines as well. Yeah.

We asked earlier, who is the greatest James Bond of all time? One vote came through for Daniel Craig as the greatest bond. One vote came through for former New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond. And someone else texted in to say RIP bonus bonds, which is... What's bonus bonds? You don't remember bonus bonds? Did you guys have bonus bonds? I don't think so.

My grandparents used to give them to me as like Christmas presents. My grandparents gave me bonus bonds all the time and I was like, wow, thanks. Is that like, I love this? Bata card? Nah, it was like an investment thing at the bank. It's like mandatory savings. And you put $20 in to bonus bonds. Yeah.

And you get 20 entries in that month's drawer. But the thing is you can take your $20 out at any time. So you never lose it. But the catch is it doesn't earn any end. interest while it's in there. So, so you're, so the $20 that your grandma put in that account for you in 1993, when they closed down the bonus bond scheme, I got mine back. I got $20. You only had $20? I think I had $40. Wow. You were rolling in it. So you never won any of the bonus bonds? No, I think I won $20. I think I won a $20 bonus bond. Which guess what? Went

straight back into bonus bonds. ZDM's Brie and Clint podcast. And another day, still no wedding photos. Something big is coming. Surely. Surely, you don't keep people waiting this long without there being some bigger thing happening. God, the swifties will be going out of their minds.

Yeah. I believe it's coming, but I also believe that what Dean McCarthy told us yesterday is coming, which is the documentary. Do you think she's going to release them on the 13th? Oh. Maybe. July 13th.

And when she was 16, she performed a C-section with a vet on a cow. Welcome to the show, Felicity. Hi Flick. A C-section on a cow? Why? Well, they needed it. The calf was breached and they were able to have it. So we got a vet in.

And did they stitch the cow up afterwards? Yeah, did both cows survive? Yeah, the cow and baby were both really helping. And the cow stood up the whole time. It was real cool. They kind of cut a massive hole in their tummy and you can see all their stomach. Mean. Wait.

every part of it. It's real, it was really... The cow was standing up. Imagine. She stood up the whole time and there was just this big hole in her tummy. She's like, what are you guys doing back there? Yeah, literally. No, she was a really good cow.

I remember years ago we had a vet come out. We had a sick cow and he poked a hole in her stomach. Oh, to release the gas? Yeah, with this valve. Oh, yes, yes, yeah. And all this gas came out. It was... Disgusting.

Disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. All right. Felicity, the cow surgeon. You're taking on our tradee from Wellington. He's 20 and he has size 15 feet.

Thanks for playing. Traities get a win. On 51. Ladies are on 55. Dead end up. Who are the worst drinkers age group-wise in New Zealand? Be millennials. You reckon? Producers, who do you reckon?

And have you guys started drinking today yet? Not yet. Not yet. Soon. Still early days. I'm Ubering it. Can you Uber booze? Yeah, you can but you have to get IDed at the door.

Oh. What, you get IDed by the Uber driver? Yeah. How many 16-year-olds would do that, though? That's so annoying for the Uber driver. Yeah, yeah. Because they'll be like, no. And then what are they, the Uber has it himself?

I've never, I've never. Yeah, exactly right. Uber eats alcohol, but I've seen it on there. Yeah, right. Yeah. The stats are out and the worst drinkers in New Zealand, the most hazardous drinkers, the biggest problem drinkers in New Zealand, people over 50.

So I was right. Wow. What did you say? Wait, no. Did you say millennials? Is that Gen X? Gen X is. Yeah, you said millennials and boomers.

Yeah. So in between. People over 50 are the most hazardous drinkers, not only in New Zealand, but in the world. Whoa. New Zealanders over 50. 40. New Zealanders over 50 are the most hazardous drinkers in the world. We're in first place.

According to this study. Whoa. 83% of Kiwis aged 50 plus drink alcohol. That's one of the highest rates in the international study. The only country that's higher than us is England, and they love a bloody drink. I know why, though. Why? They've got teenagers.

Oh. They're like, oh, I need a drink. Geez, that's a good bit of data they didn't include in the test. One in four Kiwi men over 50 regularly drink more than five standard drinks in a sitting. Wow. So, like, if they're having a drink. Like on a weeknight. Yeah.

Yeah. Only China and Mexico had higher rates than New Zealand men over 50. Really? of Kiwi men drink on four or more days a week. Okay. So they're having five plus drinks four nights a week. Wow, yeah, that seems like quite a lot. Women aren't far behind.

Almost 30% of Kiwi women drink four or more days a week. Does that count? Because I know you talked about this the other day. Does that count a glass of wine while you cook? It does, doesn't it? Does it? I think it does. What about if it's just?

a swig. Swig for me, swing for the pot. Yeah. What if it's just testing the wine? Yeah. You have to test a glass of this wine to see if it's okay to cook. That's the only real way to test whether it's good for cooking. Yeah, yeah. The research says that we often focus on binge drinking teenagers, right? Everyone's like, oh, or millennials. Yeah, they're the problem.

But actually, it's their parents and their grandparents that are the issue, according to this study. Yeah, right. So, but they did say, some positive news though, it did say that hazardous drinking in New Zealand has been declining, particularly for people aged 18 to 24. Yeah, I was going to say, it's because of the Gen Zitters, they're bringing down the average.

Yeah. Yeah. They're doing a really good job. Around the room, who's drinking on a weeknight? Not anymore. Oh, Friday. Does Friday count? Nah, that's a weekend.

Counts. No, it doesn't. Nah. That's a weekday. I would count Friday. No, Friday night. Friday night. Wait, so then does Sunday count?

No. Sunday's a week. night. Your Sunday's a weeknight. If I get Friday, I lose Sunday. If you get Friday, you have to take out Sunday. Right. Well, um.

Let's just say, yeah, you're once a weeknight. Well, once a week night. Once a weeknight. But what? Yeah, are you drinking on a weeknight? Nah. Nah. Not regularly.

And wait. No, that's again an invitation. Wait, are you my doctor asking? Yeah. I rarely drink. And when I do drink, it's three. standard drinks. I'm a light to moderate drink.

ZD.N.'s Brian and Clint. The tea. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Who remembers the girl band GRL? Of course, this was an absolute tune. It was huge. And then they were hit by tragedy almost straight away.

Dean, there is more bad news about GRL in the news today. Oh my goodness. It's so devastating. I hate to be the bearer of this bad news. But one of the singers, Lauren Bennett, has passed away at age 37. Now, Lauren, you also may remember her from LMFAO. Remember that group, which she had the two guys and was heard.

She was the singer of that. 37 years old, Lauren Bennett, she has passed away. She was British and we have not actually found out any of the reasons for death. They haven't confirmed any of that. But what a devastating day for GRL fans, for LMFAO fans and for her family. Isn't it sad? It's so sad considering one of the other members of GEO. R.L passed away. I believe she was like

late 20s, 27. Just as they were having success. Just as they were like, yeah, on the come-up. And the crazy part about this story I read Dean is that apparently Lauren Bennett passed away weeks ago. Oh. Yeah, that's what

a lot of news outlets are reporting today that she passed away quite a number of weeks ago, but it's only being reported now. Yeah. Yeah. They were kind of pussycat dolls adjacent. Am I right in thinking that?

They were... Did they share some members with the pussycat dolls? I don't know about that, but I feel like, yeah, they were created off the pussycat doll model. Yeah, right, okay. That's the strangest thing you've ever seen. Didn't they share some members? I'm out of my depth.

I'm out of my depth, Dean. You know. Yeah, you're out of it. That's okay. Sad news. Saddam's Bree and Clint. Podcast. Your baby is not far away, Bree.

You and your partner, Sophia, are due in, what is it, two weeks? Any day. Any day. It could be any day. But the due date is two weeks, right? Due date is July 20. Have you thought about any activities that you will be doing as new parents? Any groups you would like to be a part of?

Because you guys didn't do the antinatal thing, right? No. Because often that's where the coffee group gets put together. Yeah. And we're regretting it a little bit now, Would you go to a coffee group? Yeah, sure, why not? Yeah, well, this is more fun, this thing that I've found for you guys.

They don't currently exist here, but they are very popular in the UK, and I believe we could bring them here. That's called Shampers and Pampers. Ooh. It's a wine tasting event for mums and babies, and you're encouraged to bring your baby to the pub for the wine tasting event. It's you and a group of other mums. You get to sample.

in this format, in shampas and pamper, you get to sample three different wines, alongside some snacky lalas. Okay. There's a sommelier there who talks you through the tasting notes, which no one's listening to. But they are there, which is nice. You go, mm, I can. Just give me the wine. I can taste sandal wood or whatever goes into wines. Sandal wood.

They have breaks for nappy changing, and I guess you're not breastfeeding if you're at the... You probably pumped beforehand. Yeah, right. Or else, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hook them on the bottle. Yeah. And yeah, and that's how it works. And that sounds more fun than a coffee group to me. My only issue is, do they do Uber baby,

where the Uber shows up with a baby capsule over? Oh, because I'm not sure if you'll be able to drive home from shampas and pampas. Is that a thing? I don't know. They should make it a thing. I don't think it is. I think it's your responsibility to have the capsule. And then.

Right. you click it in, which pain in the ass for the Uber driver, because some of those capsules are so hard to put in. Oh my God, the car seats my kids have got. And whenever my wife's like, oh, can you take the car seat out for something? I'm like, do you know how hard that is to get back in? Imagine if you came up with like a super easy car seat to install, you'd be rich. I think they might exist.

Wouldn't we know about them? I don't know. Like you would know about them Yeah Well no It'll be the most expensive one Will be the easiest one to click in Is the thing

Yeah I remember I like to buy the cheapest car seat I can find For my children Cheaper the better I didn't realize That car seats

Go off Yeah They have a use by date What the hell Since when Do products like that Have a use by date How weird is that?

I think it's just to keep the kid as safe as possible, you know. It's a lot of polystyrene in kids car seats. Yeah, right. And so that degrades. But like, none of my other third are. Plastic degrades in the sun. Cars get very hot.

Yeah. No, like, I understand. And I reckon they would be fine, the car seats. But it's just a precaution. It just can't guarantee it. Yeah. I remember one time years ago. Car seats go off.

You're right. It's a funny way to play. Yeah, it's a used by date. Years ago. Oh, this car seats expired. Stinks. Yuck. Which car seats do.

Oh, car seats are filth. Kids car seats are great. They are filth. Like, there's just food in all sorts. There's like a whole community, like growing in the back. The kid doesn't care. The kids are, all right, back and do I sleep. Come up some more crackers.

All the crackers go into all the creptus. Some cracker for meat. Some cracker for you, car seat. I feel like you just throw it straight on the bonfire once they don't need it. Maybe they don't expire for safety reasons. Maybe they just become like a biohazard. It's Phil. ZM's Brie Inclint, covering breakfast.

Morning, guys, I got home yesterday. My wife Lucy was not happy. Why? With me and also with producer Claudia, to be honest. Oh. What did we do yesterday on the show? So many things. Claudia, I know.

What was the main thing? I remember Claudia rated your wife Lucy out of 10. I gave her a 12. She deserves a 15. Ha damn. No, what was the main... Oh, stop trying to kiss ass now, Claudia. What was the main thing we did on the show yesterday?

We gave away pods. We gave away pods. My wife, Lucy, listened to the whole show and I got home and she goes... Where's the pod? Where's the pods? Oh! You know what, that's not on me. That's actually on you, Clint.

I put it on you. No, it's on you. You had every opportunity to take some home. I said, I'm sorry, babe. I love you. Claudia didn't give me any pods to bring home. Clint, you're a grown man. One job, Clint.

One job. You could have taken the ones that you had in front of you the whole day. Claudia, I'm going to need a couple of bags, okay? They're gone. They're gone. What? I gave them away to other people. I mean, I took some home for my pregnant fiancé.

But that's just me. She's going to be furious. The ZM Podcast Network. My question for you this morning, Bree, produces everybody listening to this, is are you in love with someone that doesn't exist? The reason I bring it up is because I think. think, no, I know that my wife is in love with a ginger Scotsman from the 1700s. And I think it's getting worse.

I think it's deepening. Lucy and I watched all eight seasons of Outlander last year, over the last year, over the last 12 months kind of thing. And it wrapped up about a month ago. She's now reading the Outlander books. So she's going back. She's hooked. She's going back. I don't think that I can compete with the character of Jamie Fraser, like as a man.

and he doesn't even exist this person, Jamie Fraser. Just looking up who that is and what he looks like. So you'll see the actor Sam Callahan who plays Jamie Fraser. Very handsome man. But I don't think it's her. I don't think it's him that she's in love with. I think she's in love with Jamie. The character.

The character of Jamie. Why is he? Why is he? He's the best guy. He's the strongest guy. He's the toughest guy. I mean, he's the handsomest guy. It helps, doesn't it?

It sort of leaks into our every. day life. Like if there's a job that needs doing around the house, my wife will say to me, well, Jamie, Jamie would do it. Or if there's a job that I am doing, she'll say things like, oh, Jamie would have had that job done by now. Is he quite

manly masculine? He's very manly masculine. I guarantee you that your mum is in love with him as well. Yeah. She's a big Outlander fan. Yeah, she is huge Outlander fan. My wife will even say things to me like when I'm making my lunch, she'll go, do you think that Jamie would eat that?

Do you think she just longs for that masculinity? Hey. No, I mean, like, I'm not saying you're not masculine, but looking at this guy and he's a Scottish guy from the 1800s, I'm just picturing how masculine he would be. Yeah, yeah, totally. You know, and he would just ooze. But he's not real.

Testosterone. He's not real. Well, we don't know that. It could be. My wife also believes... Based on a real character. He's not. Okay.

She also believes in reincarnation. And the other day I shared this meme with her that suggested that reincarnation is not linear. And when you do get reincarnated, you could get reincarnated into a past timeline. You could get reincarnated a thousand years ago kind of thing. And I know that in her mind she was excited because she now believes that she's going to be reincarnated in 1700 Scotland.

I think you need to cut her off. Cut her off? Yep. How? Like as in cut her off for? from Jamie. Right. Like she's had too much.

Burn the books. Yeah. She's drunk on the Jamie love. Cancel the neon subscription. Yeah. Just cut all avenues off to Jamie. So she can't get to him anymore. I kind of get it.

Like I'm in love with Dua Leaper and there's the same amount of chance of me meeting Dua Leaper as of her meeting Jamie Fraser. But at least she's a real person. I was going to say, but that's different. She's a real person. I said to our producers before the show,

I said, are there any fictional characters that you guys are in love with that we could talk about on the show? And they both looked at me and they said, oh, Clint, what a stupid question. You came out like, if there are any. If there is. Oh, come on. Every show I've ever watched, I have a favourite and I've, like, obsessed. Who are you in love with? Nick Miller from New Girl.

Okay. Eddie from Stranger Things. All right. Styles from Teen Wolf. The list goes on. Right. Ella, who are you in love with? Catna Severine, fair enough, we all know why.

Oh, that's a pretty good one. Yeah, thank you. Peter Parker, the character in general, the awkwardness. Peter Malak? Nah. No, but he's a cutie. I'd be happy if my child ended up with him, you know? But not for you.

Yeah, nah. I had another one. Come back to me. Okay. Do you experience this, Pri? Yeah, I feel like I have, maybe not as intensely as your wife, but... I feel like a fleeting... crush where you like you watch heated rivalry and you're like oh he's a bit of me

the ones that come to mind for me are like Lucas Scott from One Tree Hill okay which was played by Chad Michael Murray yeah that seems quite formative that one for you too yeah and then the niche one but if you know you know is this character Lexa from a show called the 100 yep or even just like um what was the name I want to see this person lexar from the 100 Lexa. Is that a show? The 100.

The 100 is the show. Oh, okay. That looks very medieval as well. Yeah, maybe the only medieval show that I've kind of got into. You know what me? And to be honest, I think it's because of this character. Oh, you're lucky you didn't watch Zena. You would have been right into...

Oh, don't worry, I did watch Zena. Oh, you did watch Zena. Yeah. When I met Lucy Lawless, I'm not joking. You met her? Yeah. I could barely talk. I couldn't string like words.

together. Hi, Zia. I remember watching Zena at my nunna's house after we'd go to church on a Saturday. And then Zina, the Warrior Princess, was on. And I loved it. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've triggered the Outlander fandom, by the way. People are texting in.

They said, Clint, Jamie Fraser is not played by Sam Callahan. He is played by Sam Hewain. And he is effing hot. Thank you very much. Yeah, I know, okay? I know. He's been told by his wife. 966, or you can call us on 0800 dial ZM as well.

I want to know, just a quick snaphole. Are you in love with a character, a person? Are you in love with somebody that doesn't exist? They're not a real person. Can I just throw into the ring as well? Venus from the Sailor Moon show. Yeah, you can throw in Venus. Sailor Venus.

Yeah, okay. She was hot too. Anyone from Jim and the holograms? No. No, but Kim possible. Hello. It's BAC on ZM in the AM. It's Brian Clint in the morning.

I've just outed my wife for her love of Jamie Fraser from the show Outlander. Someone teaches him and said, good luck, Clint. This is the lives of all husbands with wives who read these books. My husband just can't compete.

There's no way you can compete. Someone else said as a fan of Outlanders for over 30 years, I hate to break it to you, but no man can match up to Jamie Alexander, Malcolm McKenzie Fraser. Todd, he's got a long name. Only just. So who are you in love with that doesn't exist? Morning, Melina.

Hi, Melina. Hi. Who is it? Melina, who does it for you? Oh, Dean Winchester from Supernatural. Oh, he was such a hottie, wasn't he? What do you mean was? Is he still good?

He's aged like a fine wine, that guy. Absolutely. He's now on the boys, so that's, you know. That's your new favourite show, Malina. That's my new favourite show. Do you have an actual real-life alive partner as well, Melina? Real life, I do have a partner. Yeah, and how do they feel about your crush on this imaginary person?

Everything's like he'll go and, you know, kill a spider and I'll be like, but can you kill a werewolf, though? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Thank you, Melina. We asked, are you in love with someone that doesn't exist? Someone said Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU. Yes, yes, yes. A lot of support coming through for your love of Lexa from the 100s.

People are questioning me and to be honest, of course, Octavia is thrown in the mix as well. But I thought it was too niche. Right. Lexa and Octavia from the 100? No, let your freak flag fly, Bree. Yep, if you know, you know. I am in love with Eric Northman from True Blood. Yeah, there were some hot vampires in that show.

Some of the newer ones, Garrett Graham, who's the main character in Off Campus, that new show. Okay. Beth from Yellowstone is getting some love as well. And Rip from Yellowstone as well, getting quite a lot of love from people. Someone said Hermione.

Hermione? Hey, Hermione was hot. Someone else said, Oh, there's so many texts coming through. A bit of support for Sailor Venus coming through. 100%. Sailor Venus was the hottest of them all. Someone else said they agree with me.

Lucas from One Tree Hill. They're re-watching it at the moment. Text in for Tommy Shelby from Peky Blinders. That's a good one for you and your hubby to share that one because he'll have a crush on him too, like a man crush. Yeah, how good. Tommy Shelby. How good.

Ilya Rosenoff from Heated Rivalry. Yeah, he was so hot on that show. What else? Oh, Carl Urban from the boys. Good to get a Kiwi one in there. I haven't watched this show. I need to jump on board, the boys. Someone else said, my first sexy dream was about Captain Planet.

Really? Captain Planet was pretty hot. Wasn't he blue? So? Is that not a factor? Nah, he's still got a six-pack. Yeah, right, okay. I'm more of a toxic Avenger guy myself.

And he knows how to recycle. We really have no idea what you ladies want. Don't try and understand it. So I have to get abs and I have to wash out my plastic. Wait, you know that the lids can't go in the recycling? What? Hot Brinkland. It's ZAM's Breinclint podcast.

Bit of hot stripper news for you. There is a travelling group of male strippers currently doing the laps around New Zealand who have lost all of their luggage, Bree. Why is this the first we have heard of it? The Magic Men of Australia were travelling between Palmerston North and Toeepaw when they realised that they had one of those high-race luggage trailers.

Right. So obviously you got a minivan for the Magic Men and then they tow all their luggage in a trailer behind. Someone, I'm not blaming any of the Magic Men, but it had to be one of them, hadn't snipped that lock properly. Oh, no. And when they realized 13 suitcases had fallen out the back of the Magic Men's tour trailer.

There would have been jock straps all over the motorway. They would have been sequins up the wazoo. Well, there's sequins up the wazoo at their live shows as well. Right up their wazos. But this would have been all over the road. They turn around because reconnaissance, right? You have to go and look. How are you going to find them?

I don't know if the magic men, do the magic men have travel insurance? Does travel insurance cover sparkly G-banggers? We don't know. Some of the stuff would be irreplaceable though. Yeah, some of it would have sentimental value. Exactly. They retraced their steps. They managed to recover 10 of the 13 suitcases.

What happened to the other three? We don't know. If any of the magic men are listening at the moment, we'd love to talk to you. Can you get in touch with us? Because we'd love to talk to you. We'd love to help you try and recover your three remaining suitcases. Yeah, I'll give you my personal number if you want to contact me personally.

She's not joking because, As soon as I mentioned them, Brie goes, that's the group that's got the Channing Tatum look-alike in it. Don't be telling people that. Which you could make... Yes, I knew straight away who it was. You can make a fortune being a Channing Tatum look-alike stripper, and that's just from Brie.

Yeah, just from me alone. The guy's name's Will. And he... Willie. Willie. Yeah, Willie. And he looks a lot like Channing Tatum, and he's made a huge career out of it.

He's got like 3. something million. and followers on Instagram. How good. How bloody good. I reckon you do lean into it. He's got the rig, he's got the looks. He doesn't have the suitcase. So this is the issue.

Because where did you say they're performing tonight, Gisbon? It says on Will's Instagram that they're in Gisbon tonight, Hamilton tomorrow. This is the closest Gisbon is ever going to get to Channing Tatum. Yeah. You have to go. You have to go. Get out and see Will. I think they're performing at Sky City on Saturday as well.

The 11th there in Auckland. Yeah, this is not a paid plug for the magic men, but... But if they want to give us free tickets. They've reported their lost luggage to the police. So if you happen to pick up a stripper's luggage, and I think you would know it was stripper's luggage, baby oil, arseless chaps, jock straps, handcuffs, nipple covers,

Little leather policeman hat. Whips. What else is in a strip show? Undy stuffing. Sturdy chair. Oh, sturdy chair is a must. Yep. You've got it to pack your own chair.

You can't be trust in the chairs like the local Gisbon RSA. No offence to the RSA in Gisbon. Yeah. And I'm sure they... It's never been under that much gyration though. And I'm sure the chairs are good there, but they just, you need to be sure.

No, you're absolutely right. What I'd like to talk to people about this morning is luggage that fell off or out of your car while you were travelling. What fell off the car and did you get all the way to the place you were going before you realised it was gone? And did you get it back? And did you get it back? Did you find it again? Or did it survive a trip on top of your car?

Yeah. Did you remember when I first moved to New Zealand and I'd been here like maybe six months and I'd gone through the difficult process of opening a new bank account, getting a new bank card, getting a new driver's license, all the stuff that comes with moving. moving countries. Yes. And about six months in, once I'd done all that, I'd left my wallet on the roof of the car and it flew off. That's right. And I had to go and replace everything again.

And no joke, two days after replacing everything, I get a message on Facebook. Hey, I think I found your wallet. And I was like, oh. So annoying. You've never been so disappointed to have someone find your wallet. I was like, I'd rather it not be found. Petra said, Brie, you do not need to tell us who will is.

Loll That's fair A ZM's Brinklin podcast A travelling male strip review Have lost their luggage And they're desperate to get it back They left the trailer unlocked And 13 suitcases of male stripper luggage

Fell out the back of the van Imagine driving behind that car Just be like whoop There goes another one What? The kids are just like Three Four

Four of the suitcases Five suitcases Dad, why is there so many tiny undies flying out of these suitcases? So much spandex. He's like, I'll pass them. And your wife's like, don't. Stay, stay right here. Stay right here.

Flag them down. Stay right in the pocket. So we asked what fell off your car. Someone said my MacBook survived a car trip on the roof of my car for 15 minutes in Henderson last year. And I like a sharp corner. Jeez. And MacBooks is, you must have had a cover on it that had like some sticky things. Yeah, mine's got bugger all grip on it.

Yeah, because they're really slippery. Remember Matt Chisholm, TV host and host of Celebrity Treasure Island? Was coming out of Queensland Airport. And anyone knows there's that if you go right out of Queensland Airport, there's that big roundabout if you're on your way to Wanaka. Yeah. And he's flown around that roundabout and his laptop bag. I think the whole bag was sitting on the roof flew off the car.

and his entire book, his entire memoir that he had been writing for 18 months was on that laptop. He doesn't know about the cloud. No, he hadn't saved it. It was like it was 2002. He had his book saved directly to his laptop. Anyway, someone found it, got it back to him, and the book was safe. Thank God.

Thank God. What fell off the car, my dad hooked up the trailer. We loaded my sister's car on. He took that off to the track. He came back and he was loading my car onto the trailer and it popped off because he hadn't put the hitch down. My father-in-law did the same thing. Yeah, okay, he lost a whole car off the back of the back. Not ideal, eh?

Someone said, keys. I lost them for three weeks. I'm a sales rap and I travel all over Auckland and Northland. One day I was looking at the kitchen window. There they were on the roof of the car, several trips over the harbour bridge. God. This will be very common leaving your phone on top of the car and they went back and found it, it was crushed.

The annoying thing about that is phones can find themselves these days, but you need a phone to find your phone. So if you lose your phone, you've got to use your phone to find your phone, and you might go, you can look it up on your laptop. But to do that, you have to tether your laptop to your phone. Yeah, so how are you going to do it? So how are you going to do that to find your phone? Do you remember when we were in L.A.

And someone stole my phone out of my bag, which we didn't know at the time, but we assumed. And so I logged in to find my iPhone on one of, it was one of the producer's phones. Yeah. And then you know how you make a noise? Remember everyone had been kicked out of the club. That's right. And then we were all, we had a few, we had a few drinks.

And we were doing all of this. And then you can make the sound. And remember, we could hear it. We were munted. Don't say. We were absolutely munted. We were responsible adults. Full circle moment, though.

Back to the beginning of this comment. What will be there to do? Find Channing Tatum. Yeah. Who we've just realized is in Gisbon for a strip show tonight with no luggage. It's a circle. The circle of life. Play ZDEM's Bree and Clint.

Welcome to the show, your friend, our friend. It's Maddie MacLaine. Morning, Maddie. Good morning. What do you want? I just want to catch up. We just wanted to see how you were. I just wanted to chat. Is that so bad?

Guys, I'm doing drive radio times. This is early for me. Yeah, I know. We're usually on the radio at the same time, so we can't talk to each other. So that's why we thought we'd just call you for a catch-off. How you doing? You're good?

Yeah, we're good. What are you up to this weekend? Anyway, we've got other things to talk about, Maddie. How much did you get paid for your Woman's Day wedding photos? Yeah. We want to know the number. And it's not just before you tell us the number. It's nothing against you.

We're not judging you. No, we're happy for you. We're happy for you. And actually, the more you got paid, the better. Yes. Because we're currently trying to broker a deal for Bree's wedding photos in Woman's Day. Seb from Women's Day is very kindly offered to give Bree the cover for her wedding photos. Which is wild.

That's a big deal. And we know their high value. The world is gagging for Taylor Swift wedding photos. People want to see them. They want to feel like they were there. And we've said to Seb from Women's Day, we will not accept less. than Maddie MacLean received. I want $1 over whatever Maddie McLean got.

And so now all we need is the information from you, Maddie Maclean. And we know you'll be honest with us. Yeah, because you're our friend. And you're an honest guy. So how much, Maddie McLean, did you get paid for your wedding photos from Women's Day? Can I tell you, we got paid jet? Can I say, I'm on a station where I can, where, can I?

You can say the S word? We got Jack shit. What? Yeah. But what does Jack shit mean? Does it mean nothing? Or does it mean very little? It means basically nothing.

We were able to get some cheaper deals from Vendors. Oh, because it was going to be in Women's Day. Right. Kind of like magazine influencing. When you say Vindors, what were you able to get? cheaper. Was it the suits? Was it the food? Was it the venue? What was it? It was, we definitely got suits. We definitely got photography. Wait, are you saying you got these things for free?

No, God, no, Brian. No, no, no, no. Can I tell you, gone of the days where Dan and Onitata got probably like a hundred gram for their wedding. What? A hundred grand. I'm pulling that out of my ass. I'm obviously pulling that out of my ass. But that's also Dan Carter. Yeah.

The last big one I remember in Women's Day was Richie and Gemma's wedding. And that's also Richie and Gemma. Yeah. They're our Kate and William really, aren't they? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Not very comparable, are they? All of that disavory, I would lower my expectations.

And if he's offering you a dollar, take a dollar. No, there was no dollars offered. That's so disappointing. No, we just... Seb told us they don't pay. But we thought he was just playing hardball with us. You know what negotiations are like. I know.

Oh, damn. So if you get him to give you a dollar, then you've succeeded. You've got a dollar more than what Maddie McLean. That's all I want there. Or do we play hardball? Do we offer a deal to Australian Woman's Day? They're not going to want that.

Or the Australian Women's Weekly. They're going to go, pay us to whoever this person is to have her in women's day? Have you ever wanted to be on the cover of New Idea? You could be on that's life. And it could be like, and the headline will be like, I married my fraternal twin. You're great. Hey, if they're willing to pay, Kean.

All right, well, Maddie, we appreciate your honesty, actively unhelpful, actually, but we do appreciate the honesty. Good luck, Bree. Were you on the cover, Maddie? I was on the cover. Were you the cover? We were the cover. Cover boys.

Yeah. Maddie and Ryan. That's a minimum. We're not accepting less than that. I think it was my husband's Moe that got us across the line with the covers. He is a good looking man. Maybe we could broker you a centrefold. Like a fold-out centerfold.

Yeah. And where it folds on my forehead, so I look deformed. ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast. Bree and Clint's all I want from my birthday to the birthday banger. All right, this is your birthday bangers. You tell us your birthday. We do the math. it out. What was the number one song when you

turn 16? Then we'll play our favourite out of the three. Nate's going first. Morning, Nate. Morning, Nate. Morning. What are you got on for the day, Nate? I just laying a couple of decks today. A couple. Yeah, once we get this one finished, we'll head off to the next one. Geez, busy boy. How the hell, knocking him out. Hey, what's your

birthday, Nate? 28th of May 2000. All right, that means you was 16 in the year 2016. That's easy math for me this morning. And And here's your birthday banger. Banga. Drizzi. Huge from the Drake, this was.

Yeah, banger. Yeah, they'd go right laying some deck, wouldn't it, Nate? Yeah, 100%. Good stuff, okay, wait there. I don't need a one deck. Drake and one deck. No, two decks, he said. Yeah, I don't need a one deck.

I need a lay two. As the song says. As it goes. Jamie's here for a birthday banger. Morning, Jamie. Morning. Morning. Thank you guys.

What are you up to today, Jamie? I'm starting work at 10 o'clock tonight, so I got to, you know. God, why are you even up? Yeah. Oh, because I didn't work last night, but I've got to work tonight. What do you do that starts at 10 p.m.? I'm a theatre nurse. Yeah, right.

Okay. All right, well, let's find you a good birthday being it in. Jamie, what's your day to birth? 13th of November, 1984. All right, that means you were 16, Jamie, in the year 2000, also. easy math for me this morning. And here's your birthday banger. Groojet.

Crazy coincidence. We were looking at doing this song for Friday Oaky this week. We were. Didn't quite make the cut, but weird to hear it again today. Do you love it? Jamie, we love it.

I mean, I'm definitely making me feel my age hearing that. It launched Sophie Ellis Baxter. Yeah, it did. Yep. One more birthday banger for Katie. Morning, Katie. Morning.

Morning. How are you? Good, thank you, Katie. what are you up to today? I'm driving my son to Auckland to do a goalkeeper thing. A goalkeeper thing? Yeah, like with Auckland, they see, it's like a goalkeeper. Oh, that's cool.

My cousin is one of the instructors at that goalkeeping thing. Oh, really? There's a crazy coincidence. At first I thought... The guy from Ghana. No, not the guy from Ghana. I don't have a cousin from Ghana. At first I thought Katie said she was driving her mum to the goalkeeping corner.

That'd be even more fun. I'm assuming you said you're son. Yeah, yeah. All right, well, Katie, let's do your birthday banger. What's your day to birth? 25th of May, 1991. All right, Katie, that means you was 16 in 2007. And on that day, you know, 7, this was number one.

It's an absolute ripper, Katie. What a ripper, are you into it? Love it. Yeah, that's so good. Yeah, us too. Remember that girl that Claudia went to school with, that Claudia told us she said that she wrote Averal Levine girlfriend. I was Skaterboy.

Oh, is it Skaterboy? Yeah, but I mean, same thing. I think we know what we're doing, right? I think we know. We don't even have to communicate. It's a vibe. Much like Sapphire and her workmates, we've synced up. Jamie, you're the winner of birthday bangers today.

Well done. Enjoy your day off. Good luck for work tonight. Thanks, Jamie. From the year 2000, it's a birthday banger from Groovejet and Sophie Ellis Bexter on ZM. Brian Clint's. The next thing we're going to talk about is petty. I'll just say that we know that.

We are aware. But it's Bree's passion and it's something she wants to do. Sometimes I'm a petty bit. There is... It's true. And they're not even here to defend themselves either. No, they aren't. There is something that was said on the breakfast show in the last couple of weeks

by Vaughn from Fletford and Haley. The iconic Vaughn Smith. Which has subsequently been turned into what's called a radio promo. where they play that clip a few times. Which subsequently means we have heard it multiple times. We have heard it multiple times. This is the clip in question. The board with the top ten times on it.

My name is on there. But that's a celebrity one. He was really nice. And I said, oh, you need to tell you're not on the actual leadership board. No, no, just. For people that you might know, maybe off the tally once or twice. That's what I think the leaderboard should be called. And I knocked Ali Williams out of the top ten.

That felt pretty good. That felt good. And every time I think he wants a helicopter in Hearn Bay, I'm like, maybe get back on the top 10 board. So, Brie Thomasel, as a fellow person who's been on the telly once or twice, please reveal to us what you'll be doing today. I said, if Vaughn Smith knocked Ali Williams off the leaderboard, I want to try and knock Vaughn Smith off that same leaderboard.

Give him a bit of his own medicine, which I am worried about if I actually have the ability to do that or not. Behind the scenes. Bree has had our producers organise a closed race track. She's going to the same go-kart track where Vaughn set his record before they open so she can have an open track time

with one goal and one goal only and that's to knock Vaughan off the leaderboard. I don't care about my time. All I care about is getting one millisecond faster than Vaughn-Smith so I can then knock him off that leaderboard. That is the only goal. It is the sole goal of the.

today? What if he is eighth? And because then you'll only be knocking him down to ninth. See, I already question. I already question my racing abilities whether I can do it. No, that's not the attitude. That's not the attitude.

Okay, if you're going into this, you believe that you can do it. I don't question my commitment. Correct. I hope that he's 10 because I feel like that'll be the best case scenario is that I knock him off and then I go into 10th positions.

The level of pettiness required for you to spend possibly the whole rest of your day, for someone who's been up since 4 a.m. for work today, the level of dedication to pettiness, honestly, it's, it's laudable. It's actually admirable. Thank you. I appreciate that. The only thing I think that could make it funnier would be if you took Ali Williams with you and you both knock Vaughn off the leaderboard and Ali Williams regains his place on the leaderboard.

If Ali Williams is listening, I would love him to come down to the go-kart centre this morning with me. Our shout, it's our shout. Our shout will cover drinks and hot dogs in the canteen. And him and I on the track, just trying to knock Vaughn Smith. It's actually impressive that Ali Williams even got on there. Ali Williams is 6'9. The heavier, like, correct me if I'm wrong, the heavier you are, the lesser advantage you have. Yeah, the slower you go.

Yeah, it's not like a luge cart Where the heavier you are The more advantage you have Because you're using gravity Because my dad always used to use it as an excuse When I'd beat him at the go-karts And he goes, you're a bit lighter than me Bree's acting cool about this

The second she gets in that car She is going to be Max the Stepan level competitive Okay, you're not going to be able to talk to her No, I'm just going to be laser-focused Do you read, do you, you've seen, Have you seen me driving a go-car before? No. You've seen me driving a go-car before?

a real car. Yes. Remember when we drove the, what was it? It was the new Hyundai. Oh yeah, we drove the I-30N around the racetrack with the Stig. Honestly, like, and not, let's forget we're on the radio. Do you think that I could knock Vaughn Smith off the go-kart top 10 leaderboard? 100%.

Okay. 100%. In fact, I'll be disappointed if you don't. I feel like my confidence is wavering. We've made such a song and dance about it now that if you don't, it's going to be embarrassing. How embarrassing for me? You can't leave. If we have to cross to you there in 24 hours from now

and you're still doing laps of the go-car tracks, so be it. How embarrassing if I've come on the radio, I'm going to go down and try and knock Vaughn Smith off the leaderboard and I can't do it. You can do it. It'll be one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I'm going to give it all. I'm going to give it my all.

That's all I can do. And go for a wee first so you're as light as you can be. Z-D-Eam's brain and cleanse. Support coming through for Brie and her petty quest to knock Vaughan off the leaderboard at the go-kart track. And I really appreciate that support. It's going to make the difference. It fuels me.

It fuels me because I'm not just doing it for me then. I'm doing it for the people. So speaking of fuel us, producer Claudia just bought a whole plate of hot hash browns into the studio. She is the MVP of breakfast, isn't she? Thank you guys. That's last week. That's real producing.

That is. That's fuel for the team. That's producing for me. I brought it in last week as well and then every day since at least one person's gone, where are the hash browns? You got any more hash brands? Yeah, you can bring them.

How much is a bag of hash browns these days? I got about eight hash browns for $5. That's pretty good. It's not bad. That's not bad. What is to talk about a crazy coincidence that I heard about in the last couple of weeks? So my fiancé Sophia, she's pregnant.

Any day now, it could be. Could be while you're racing go-car. It could be. July 20 is the... actual due day. And so she works at a hospital and works at a particular specialty ward. Yes. And so she works with a bunch of other nurses. And obviously she has friends at work. And she said to me, because her group of friends isn't enormous, but she's got like this nice group of friends at work. And two of the other nurses that she is friends with, they are also pregnant. Oh, right. At the moment.

and get this, they all have the same due date. What, the exact same due date? The exact same. What are the chances of that? Is that not blow your mind? Yeah. I feel like that's a pretty massive coincidence. What were you guys all doing on that one weekend nine months ago?

Did you have some kind of party and were you all together, you know? I don't think so. Yeah. But isn't that a huge coincidence? Is that every boss is? worst nightmare too. He's like, oh no, I've got three staff who are going to be off on maternity leave. At least they'll hopefully all be staggered by a month or so. No, they're due on exactly the same day. The exact same day. Yeah, that's a huge coincidence. We've talked to people on this show before

who have those crazy family coincidences too, where they were born on the same day as their dad and their granddad. Which is what I want to ask for this morning, what is the crazy birth coincidence Like, do all your family members, do all the siblings have a birthday that's on the same day or within a day of each other? Yeah. Or do you, your dad and your brother all share the same birthday? That's quite cool for your baby and their babies because if you are all friends, they're all going to be pretty much. And they're going to be the same age. They're going to have the same, you can have birthday parties together.

Isn't it special? going to grow up together. It's very cool. Yeah, yeah. Producer Ella, did you have one? I do. You might make fun of me, but I think this is a cool, you know, weird thing. We would never make fun of you.

Never. You're so kind. My sister, born on a Wednesday, two weeks later, I was born on a Wednesday. Two weeks later. Wait, you were born first, though. No, sorry, this is just like in the calendar. Okay. Right?

Right. And then two weeks after mine is my husband. also a Wednesday. Let's just say. Do you get it? You're on the right track, but I think we can do better. But not bad, but not too bad. Hey, it wasn't awful. I thought it was really mind-blowing. I like how you always crowbar it in there, and I admire that from you. There is so many texts coming through for this. What is the birth date coincidence? My partner's I fired due in a couple of weeks

The due date is July 20 Two women that she works with That she's friends with Have the exact same due date A few people have texted in and said They spend a lot of time together Their cycles may have matched up And they ovulated it at the exact same time

How cool Yes and no Because they don't work every shift together Yeah right So they're not seeing each other all the time Can I say as a man The Sinking Up thing? is the craziest thing to me.

It's the craziest thing. People say it's all a myth. Oh, really? People say it's not real. Claudia always maintains that she doesn't believe it. I disagree. That's not real. I think it is a thing.

As someone who grew up in a girl's boarding house in my late teens, I'm telling you. It's going to match up every now and then, but you're not going to like... Claudia is suggesting the entire boarding house. Every girl in... grade 12 that was in the boarding house at the same time. It's the moon. The moon does the tides and the waters.

It also does it with your uterus. Oh my gosh, it's ridiculous. This has been an ongoing fight for years. I know. I just know I'm right so I don't need to argue it. I don't care what science is. I've seen it. I've experienced. Quote, Bree Thomas L. I don't care what science says.

We want to know where you're crazy birth coincidences, birthday coincidence. Logan is on the phone. Morning, Logan. Morning, Logan. Morning. Good thanks. What is the crazy coincidence, mate? I've got three for you.

Okay. I've got myself, my dad, and one cousin from each side, all born on the same day. Wow. Whoa. What date is it, Logan? 17th of March, St. Patrick's Day. Okay, what's nine months before that? I love that it's St. Patrick's Day. How good is...

Are you guys Irish? I'd love to be. Pretty much. Yeah, yeah. Might as well be. Good. Nicola's here. Hi, Nicola.

Hi, Nicola. Hi, how are you? We're good. Is it Nicola or Nicalia? Nicalia. Sorry, Nicalia. Cool name. What is the crazy birth coincidence, Nicalia?

So I'm the middle child. Right. I've got a younger sister that's eight and a half years younger than me. Okay. And an older sister that's eight and a half years older than me. Right. None of us were planned. Yeah.

Okay. And then we also found out that my mum and her younger sister are eight and a half years apart, not planned either. Okay, now that is getting crazy. That is. That is getting crazy. It's like women in your family. It's not like it's two and a half years, you know,

where it's like, oh, that's pretty. I think they just really wanted some babysitters. Maybe. There was always a, like, of age babysitter that they could leave home. Or women in your family, when they're ready to have babies, they get given a baby every eight and a half years. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. Wow. Thanks, Nicalia. That's fascinating. We asked for your birthday coincidences. Someone said, my son, my niece and my nephew all born on the same day. My son, my niece and, wow. Not family, but I recently found out that there is a person who lives about two hours away from me that was born on the same day as me and has the same first and last name as me.

Whoa. You could have been switched at birth. You could have been. Two hours away is not far enough. for them not to encroach on your life. Like if they do a crime and the police are out looking for Anna Winston... They could come looking for you. 32 years of old in the Manuatu region.

That's you. How complicated it would be, like if you got taken into custody, trying to convince them that you were the other Anna Winston. Yeah. They're like, pull the other one, mate. What's your date of birth? And you go, well, you're not going to believe this. I've got the same.

And they're like, oh, what a coincidence. Someone said, I was born on my mum's 22nd birthday. What a better way to spend your birthday than being in labour for 22 hours. 22, 22. Keep the twos going. What about this? I gave birth on the 22nd of the 2nd, 2002 at 2020. And there were two of them. Whoa.

Yeah, that's pretty wild. This person said, I married a guy with the same birth date as me, the same day in month. birthday breakfast in bed was always a battle. We're divorced now. We're divorced now. Laura said my dad, myself and my daughter all have the same birthday. That's cool. That's three generations that it's gone down.

I told you the story. We were at some friends of ours and they're new friends that we have made through my daughter's school. And we were talking about my wife's 40th birthday that was coming up. And they were like, the mum and that family was like, Oh, my 40th birthday is coming up too. That's right. They figured out they were born on the same day, in the same year, in the same hospital.

Yeah, I remember you telling me this. And now they're friends. Yeah, crazy. That is crazy. There's so many of these texts. There's so many that it's starting to feel less special. Special. Someone said, me, my dad and my granddad are all 27 years apart.

I broke that sadly as I haven't had kids. Oh. Oh. Not a good reason to have kids, though, to keep that tradition going. Not the right motivation, no. Get your head around this one. My sister was born on my mum's birthday. My son was born on my birthday.

My daughter was born on my dad's birthday. So everyone in my birth family now shares their birthday with someone else in the family. That might be the winner. That's going to be so sad when your birth twin dies. Yeah. You know how you have to have your birthday alone? Yeah, because you would have always shared it. Yeah.

My son was born 17 days late on my birthday. He waited. He waited to come on your birthday. If my fiancé, Sapphire is listening, that's not a true story. 17 days. No, it doesn't go 17 days late. Don't tell us. When Sophia's birthday?

Oh, not until December 28. Oh, that's going to be a rough ride. That's a real late baby. Play Z-M's Brian Clint on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from 3. on ZM.
