The ZM Podcast Network. ZM's Bree and Clint, cheers to KFC. Grab KFC's crispy box for only $9.99. Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. ZM's Bree and Clint. Oh no, I've eaten an apple too fast and now I've got reflux. Why do you do this to yourself?

It's only apples and foot-long sandwiches with you, isn't it? No, it's everything. I've said it before, I need one of those dog food bowls where it makes you eat slower. My dogs have to both have one of those. Yeah, I need one. I need a human version. Imagine being...

I thought about this the other day in the shower. Imagine being the person that invented the slow feeder dog bowl. Yeah, what a clever idea. You'd be a millionaire. No, I don't think you would. No? No, because unless it's technology where you like own the software, all that's going to happen these days is someone will go,

oh, that's a good idea, and then they'll make a dupe and they'll just sell it on AliExpress. But what if they get a patent on it? Yeah, but they'll still just make them on those websites. They'll just be available on Teemo and there'll just be dupes everywhere. You know? Yeah, that's true. That's how I feel about it.

Unless it's like a piece of computer software or something, I think it'd be very hard. Very hard. Yeah, I mean, there's definitely, like, you know what one of the most successful products that has been on Shark Tank? Scrub Daddy? Scrub Daddy is one of them, which I mean such

a simple product, but so good. Yeah, it is very good. I'm behind the Scrub Daddy, are you not? No, I've got a Scrub Daddy. I don't know why it works so well, but it does. It's genius. It's the technology in the fibres that they use. But no, it was the ring camera, the doorbell. Oh, yeah, I've seen that Shark Tank clip.

Yeah, like this was how like 15 years ago they went on there with this idea and I'm pretty sure they passed on it. Really? Yeah, I don't think they came to a decision. Yeah, right. And now, I mean, multi, multi. How much do you reckon? What is it called?

I think it's called Ring. Yeah, it's called Ring. How much is the doorbell company Ring worth? How much do you think that company's worth? What? Producers, how much do you think? We don't know how much companies are worth, so just tell us. The company was first founded in 2013.

Yeah. And it is now worth approximately $1 billion. Yeah, there you go. $1 billion. Have you got your Shark Tank idea ready to go? No, I'm not that creative. Have you? Yeah, absolutely.

What is it? So if you've been out drinking, I don't know how the technology works. I've just got the idea. Yep. Do I really want to say it or what if someone steals it? So if you've been out drinking, I don't know how the technology works. I've just got the idea. Yep. Do I really want to say it or what if someone steals it? So it's an IV drip

that you can hook up to yourself. Yeah. So I don't know how to get it into you because you don't want to inject yourself when you're drunk. No. It's an IV drip that rehydrates you but it also has like a catheter

which you can apply easily. I'm thinking over, over the male appendage and then you can just pee while you sleep too because the worst bits about a hangover, sleeping when you've apply easily, I'm thinking over the male appendage, and then you can just pee while you sleep too. Because the worst bits about a hangover, sleeping when you've been drinking, is getting dry and needing to get up to go to the toilet. I don't know if the idea is going to take off.

Two thumbs down. Claudia, are you investing? Undecided. The idea I had, Shark Tank, a coffee cup, but in the bottom of the coffee cup, it's a little pill packet that pops open and it's got a mint in there. So once you drink the coffee, you pop the mint out and you have a mint because everyone hates coffee, Brett.

Let's keep going with Trading Burst Lady. There's 50 bucks cash up for grabs if you're keen to play with us. Thanks to KFC, you've just got to win the game to score it. And the scores are up to the level. They're not quite level. They're close, though. If you want to play, 0800DIALZM right now. We'll get you on.

Ladies up by one. Bree and Clint. Time for TradiverseLady. It's TradiverseLady. Three, two, one, let's go. We love it, don't we? We bloody love it. The Tradies versus the Ladies.

We're keeping score because why not? The Tradies on 35. The Ladies just one point separates the two. They're on 36. Our Lady's calling from Auckland. She's 39 years old and she breeds children with very strong chins. Welcome to the show, Claudia. Hello, Claudia.

Are these strong-chinned children with you? Yes, they are. They are. Do you want to say hi, girl? Hi. Hello. What are your guys' names? Ada.

And Penny. Ada and Penny. Ada and Penny. Oh, nice to meet you guys. Or should I say, chin-chin? And let me tell the girls that from one strong-chinned lass to another, it's a good thing. I've got a bum chin. Yeah.

Brie's been in a lot of fistfights. They've both injured themselves with their chins. Oh, wow. Okay. One broke their sternum with their own chin and the other one cracked somebody else's head with their own chin. That is a strong chin.

Wow, that's a really strong chin. Okay. You're taking on our trainee today who I'm not sure if his chin's that strong. He's from the Kapiti Coast. He's 32 and he chopped two of his fingers off at work. An ACC nightmare. Welcome to the show, Andrew.

Andrew, I have so many questions. How did you do it? Which two fingers? I dropped a slab of granite on it. Oh! And it was the two middle ones. The two middle ones. So your ring finger and your FU finger.

Yeah, yeah. I would argue probably two good ones to lose. Did they put them back on or were they squished? No, they chopped them clean off. They couldn't put them back together. I agree with Bree.

Those are the two to lose. Yeah. Yeah. The rest all serve a purpose. Okay, Andrew, your buzzer is traded. Claudia,

your lady, the first one of you two to three points gets the win and 50 bucks cash from KFC. Good luck to everyone involved. Question number one. The Black Ferns will play

England at Twickenham this year with the chance to set the world record for people in attendance at a women's rugby game of 85,000 people. What country is Twickenham in? Trady. Yes, Andrew. England.

Correct. It is England. One to the tradies. Question number two. Our blockbuster binge-a-thon starts next week where we will watch back-to-back movies for 24 hours straight. What film is this quote from? You better hold on tight, spider monkey.

In case you couldn't hear that, that was a very creepy-sounding man saying, you better hold hear that, that was a very creepy sounding man saying, you better hold on tight, spider monkey. Yes, Claudia. No. I mean, it's a good guess. Good guess. Andrew?

Nah, nah. Wouldn't have a clue. It's got Robert Pattinson in it. It's Twilight, isn't it? Oh, Twilight. Yeah, it is Twilight. I wouldn't have got that either. But yeah, he does sound very creepy in it. It's Twilight, isn't it? Oh, Twilight. Yeah, it is Twilight. I wouldn't have got that either. But yeah, he does sound very creepy in it.

Doesn't he? Question number three, still one to the tradies. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. It's a bit of a Friday jam. Anybody know that one? That's a throwback. No. No.

Gym class heroes. Gym class heroes is what we were looking for. No points there. Question number four. What fish is capable of generating an electrical discharge of up to 600 volts? Yes, Andrew. Electric eel. It is an, Andrew. Electric eel. It is an electric eel.

Nice work. You are two points on the board. Claudia, you need this one to stay in it. Question number five. Which Spice Girl is currently in the country and on tour DJing this week? Andrew. Yes, Andrew, for the win.

Ooh. Now, Andrew. For the win. Ooh. Now, see. Andrew. That's a good one. He's been called out by Claudia. Could have been, but someone had to get it and someone had to take the win. And today it's Andrew. Well done,

mate. Nice work, Andrew. 50 bucks of's Andrew. Well done, mate. Thanks, mate. Nice work, Andrew. 50 bucks of cash coming your way from KFC. She's getting booed from Claudia. Booed from the ladies, they say. A bit of a community service announcement for those people who are about to name a human. Oh, yeah.

If you're about to name a human, you're about to have a baby, you've been tossing up different names. Do you know my cousin recently had a baby boy, very cute baby boy, coming up three weeks, still no name. Yeah, that's not all that uncommon. Yeah, they just haven't settled on one yet. They haven't found a name that suits him. People always say when the baby finally comes out, you'll know. Yeah, well.

Not in this case. Not in this case. Not in this case. What names are they tossing up between? No, they haven't told us. I don't think they want to spoil it. I think they don't want it tainted. They don't want to be. It's the same as you don't tell someone the name of the child before it's born either

because you run the risk of them going, oh, yeah, they like that. No, I don't like that. And you go, well, that's literally the name we've settled on. They don't want to be influenced. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, take your time. The baby doesn't know.

But how much time? Because there is a time limit. Yes. A friend of mine, Cara, she got a letter from Internal Affairs one time to say, Hey, name this kid. Really? Yeah, yeah. Interesting.

Well, here's a public service announcement for those about to do that. I came across this TikTok from this woman who's very angry about her name. It's not really her name per se. She's angry about how her parents decided to spell her name. Her name, quite a generic run-of-the-mill name. Yeah. But her parents decided to get creative uh take a listen why didn't my mom spell my name the natural way jessica has spelled why did she have to go and do

it to me i'm tired of being called gasaka it's G, it's spelled- No, no, let's focus on letter by letter. Okay. Jessica starts with a G. Yeah. Okay. G-E-S-A-K-A. Jessica. Jessica.

Jessica. Jessica. Jessica. Jessica. Jessica. Jessica. I mean, if you named her Jessica-S-A-R-K-A, that's a fine spelling for G-S-A-R-K-A. What's worse?

Mum didn't know how to spell Jessica and gave it her best crack, or mum did know and she intentionally did it to be different? The second one. The second one is worse? Yeah, because she did it on purpose. And that shows no care or thought of what that child is going to have to endure for their whole life. People regularly spell your name wrong, but that's more down to the cheese than anything else. Which, that's fine.

People will always text in B-R-I-E. I kind of wish it was B-R-I-E because I love cheese so much. What's more common, B-R-E-E or B-R-I? I would argue that B-R-E-E is the most common Brie. Right. But you get to choose because it's your nickname. Yeah, I just chose how to spell it. You just chose B-R-E-E.

Yeah, isn't that weird? Actually, B-R-I is more true to how your name is actually spelled. Yeah, because my real name is... Oh, my God, you did what Gisaka's mum did. You finessed your own name. No, but I've done it the way Bree should be spelt. But it's not the way your name's spelt. Yeah, I know, but B-R-I is Bri.

Bri. It's not Bree, it's Bri. And sorry to all the Bries out there, all the Bree's with the name spelling B-R-I, but it's Bri. It's like if my name was spelt with a K. Oh, no. Yeah, Killint. That's not nice. Let's go through the producers. It's like if my name was spelt with a K. Oh, no. Yeah. Killint.

That's not nice. Let's go through the producers. Claudia, you're safe. I feel like there's only one way to spell Claudia. You could put a W in there, surely. You could put a K and a W in there. K-L-A-W-D-E-E-R. Oh, that's hideous.

Claudia. Claudia. That is hideous. Ella? Let's put an H on the end I guess Can you spell it with a U Why would you do that We're trying to spell it different That's what these parents are doing

They're trying to spell the name different You wouldn't do H U-L-L-A Ola Ola We want to know from you Did your parents spell your very normal name In a weird way.

It's a basic kind of generic name. Yeah. And it's got a way that it's spelled. Maybe it's got one or two ways, but your parents went totally off script and they've got creative with the spelling. Where's the Craigs with two A's at? One of them's silent. Yeah.

Bree and Clint. Woman has shared her utter disgust at her parents for pretty much spelling her normal name in a creative way. Why didn't my mom spell my name the natural way Jessica has spelled? Why did she have to go and do that to me? I'm tired of being called Gisaka. Gisaka is spelt with a G. G, from memory, G-E-S-A-K-A. Yeah.

Gisaka. She sounds like a perfectly nice person too. She's so angry about it. Her name is unrecognisable. That's how off script they've gone with the spelling of her name. It's so different. Someone texted her and said, my parents named me Riley,

but it's spelled R-Y-L-E-I. What? And I'm still mad at her to this day. R-Y-L-E-I. Riley. See, I would pronounce that Riley. Riley.

Riley. Riley. And I'm sure Riley would get that all the time. Hey, hey, Riley. This person's called up on 0800-DIAL-ZM. Hello, person number one. Hi, how's it going? Hi, good.

Good, thank you. What's the perfectly normal name that you have? Don't tell us the spelling, but what's your name? My name is Taylor. Taylor? Wait, Taylor or Kayla? Taylor. Taylor like Swift?

Yes. And how did your parents think was the best way to spell Taylor? T-A-L-O-R. Wait. T-A. T-A-L-O-R. Okay, I see what I've done. It's Talor.

Talor, yeah. Talor. Is that what you get, Taylor? I get that at work all the time. I don't know looking at that. That's not Taylor. No. Talor.

It's missing an I or a Y. Yeah. Oh, you poor thing. Are you mad at your parents for it? I've gotten over it, but it's just annoying when I have to give people my email or anything. They spell it wrong every time. Are your parents bad at spelling? No.

No, they just thought it was cool and funky. Yeah, they just wanted to be different. Yeah, right. That's what you want for your kids, eh? That's what you want. What if you didn't want to be different, though, Taylor? I know. As a parent, I know you want your kids to stand out for the wrong reasons.

You poor thing. That's the key to an easy childhood. Someone texted her and said, my husband's name is Kevin, pronounced like the regular old Kevin. Kevin. But it's spelt K-E-V-A-N. The poor dude always gets Kevorn. Kevan.

Kevan. Kevorn. Trying to make Kevin fancy. It's not fancy. It's Kevin. There's no more bog standard a name than Kevin. Kevon. If you wanted him to have a jazzy name, don't name him Kevin.

It's like naming a kid Kevin, you know? Yeah, just give him a fancy name if that's what you want. Far out. Hello, person number two. Hello. Hello. Hello. Tell us what is your stock standard name? Kimberley. Kimber person number two. Hello. Hello. Tell us, what is your stock standard name?

Kimberley. Kimberley. Okay. Okay. Yeah, not too many ways to spell Kimberley. No, I feel like there's lots of ways we can go. How did they spell it? K-I-M-B-E-R-L-E-I-G-H.

Oh, why did they do that to you, Kimberly? Kimberly, you got all the letters. I've got all the letters. All the letters. You're like that phrase that we had at school, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Every single letter in the English alphabet is in your name. I feel like your parents couldn't make a decision

and they just wanted to put everything in it. Yeah, pretty much. But I don't get any other names like Kimberly Lay or whatever you want to call it. No, at least it's very obviously Kimberly, isn't it? It's Kimberly, but the spelling forever. And my last name as well was very unusual spelling as well. What is it? You spell it for us, we'll pronounce it.

I don't want to say it on air. No, I don't want to say it on air No, I don't want to say it on air Go on It's like Smith with like two Y's A? Oh no, it's usually my first The first three letters are usually M-A-C but I'm an M-A-G Oh, right

Instead of MacDonald, you're MagDonald Yeah Oh no Hypothetically Alright, thanks Kimberley It's okay You're Meg Donald. Yeah. Oh, no. Hypothetically. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Kimberley. It's okay.

Thanks, Kimberley. Oh, thanks. Bye. See you, mate. There's so many good ones coming through on this. Someone texted and said, I'm a paediatric nurse, so I see all of the names. A favourite one of mine is a name that was spelt K-L-E-E-S-H-A-Y-E. What is that? Cliche.

Cliche? Cliche. Cliche? Cliche? It's very pretty. It's very pretty. Someone else said, I taught a Michael that was spelt M-Y-K-O-O-L. Michael.

Michael. My auntie spelled my cousin's name Caleb, K apostrophe L-I-B. No. Why are you putting an apostrophe in there? Like the rapper. Doesn't need an apostrophe. Someone else said. Caleb.

I was born Stuart. S-T-U-W-I-T. Stuart. I have now changed it to Stuart. My husband's name is Jonathan. Spelt Jonathan. Let's do one more. We've got one more. Hello, person with a normal name on the phone.

Hello. Hello. Hello. What's with a normal name on the phone. Hello. Hello. Hello. What's your very normal name? Stacey. Stacey. Okay. Stacey.

Pretty stock standard. Either spell it with a Y or an E. Or an I. How do you spell it? So mine's double E, but my mum was even more fun. And it's Stacey hyphen rain. That's R-A-Y-N-E. Stacey. Rain. Wait, your full name is Stacey hyphen Rain, but it's R-A-Y-N-E. Stacey Rain.

Wait, your full name is Stacey Rain. That's the first name. And then just to be fun, even more fun, my middle name is Tanya, but it's T-A-R-N-Y-A. Oh, your mum needs to be reported to Child Protective Services. I'm going to ask you a very clear question, and I'm only going to ask you once, and I mean it with love. Stacey Rain Tanya is your mum a bogan? She's a bogan hippie.

Bogan hippie! Thank you very much. I love it. Thanks Stacey Rain Tanya. I want to talk about, and I don't know if I want to talk about it, but I'm just so sick of going through life and I don't know if I want to talk about it but I'm just so sick of going through life and I'll have this thought a moment pop back into my mind where it makes me physically shudder and cringe with how terrible it was yeah it's like you want to escape from your own body in those situations it's's so bad. Yeah. I get so tense and I just, oh. It makes you relive what it was like at the time.

And for me, I'm sure there's quite a few, but there's some in particular that I just think I'll never be able to shake. Do you think it's better that, obviously you are harder on yourself than anybody else. I don't think other people think back on these moments as critically as we do. Well, I think we should share some of them. And then we can decide. Do you have one that pops into your mind?

I just spend about 30 seconds and I've come up with a list of three. Okay. The one that springs to mind straight away, and I've told this story before, and look, I stand behind it. I don't support it. I won't do it again, but I'm not denying that I did it.

Enough explanation, more describing. When I was hosting the red carpet at the Music Awards and I told Paralympian Liam Malone that he was brave for wearing shorts to the Music Awards because he's got no legs. But it wasn't because he has no legs. It wasn't because he has no legs. It was just because he was wearing shorts to a fancy event.

No. No, no, no. What was it for then? No, because I was like, good on you for representing your metal legs and just having them out. Oh, so it was because he has no legs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that would make.

I was trying to be like No, you deserve to shut up. I know, I know. And he went Thanks. Cool man. Awesome. For me a moment that to this day will haunt me

was when I was about 16 or 17 maybe and I was staying over at a friend's house that was a bit more than a friend and we thought there was no parents home. And let's just say I'll never ever forget the look on this mum's face when she opened the door.

Oh, no. Did she see you? It wasn't like. It wasn't like. Were you being noisy? No. Oh, I can't remember now. We thought they weren't home.

They came back from a trip early and the mum just opens the door and I'll never forget. I will never forget the look on her face. Oh, it's horrible. Claudia, tell us we're not alone. Tell us we're not alone. Oh, I've already relived this story once today. Tell us we're not alone. Oh, I've already relived this story once today.

Oh, relive it again. It's so good. A few months ago, I was using the buttons on the radio desk. I was doing it like to... You were away, Clint. Yeah, you were away. You missed out on this moment. A New Zealand actor came in for an interview and I... A big one.

Like a real famous one. It's a comedy of errors. I hit the microphone into the computer screen, which apparently wasn't attached to anything, so that fell onto the desk and landed on a glass of water, which then fell onto the desk and all over him. And he did not take it well. And then the fire alarm went off during the interview.

He took it really badly. He was like, is there a towel or something for me? Really? He wasn't cool about it? Not really. And then Ross Ross came in and joked about it way too soon and made me cry. Yeah, right. I was so embarrassed. Yeah.

Ella? I got none. Oh, you got none? Never embarrassed yourself? What about that? No, you got one. You got one. It was bad.

And I hate telling this story. I've told it too many times. I want to cry. No, I love this story. I've told it too many times. I want to cry. No, I love this story. It's when I was brand new producer. Oh, I know this. Yeah. I thought producing was all about feedback and grabbing it by its horns.

And on the podcast, it wasn't on air, thank God. But on the podcast, for some reason. I think it was like your second day. It was pretty fresh. Ella was 19 and she offered to critique Brie and I as broadcasters. Yeah. And then, which is fine, like you were, but the feedback you gave was brutal.

It was brutal. Especially towards me where I'm pretty sure. You said. Because I do better. I think you said to me you say um way too much and you need to be funnier and I was like looking back on it

looking back on it I mean you're not wrong you're not wrong but just very brutal your audacity it's so fresh in my brain I remember writing it down and thinking oh yeah this is great she's been in the business for like five months. No!

My mum's listening and she just texted us who it was. My story. No! You've done it again. Oh, no! I'm having the moment again. You've done it again. This is, oh.

No! No! My mum just texted again, how embarrassing. How embarrassing. Oh. Okay, let's take a break. Let's take a break. Oh, my God.

I feel sick. I feel sick. Just take a breather and get people to call in with memories that make them physically shudder and cringe, like you're experiencing right now. And, mum, if you're still listening i'm not telling you we're not going through this again oh i'm dying inside i'm dying my mom just tried to call me yeah don't take that call there's a voicemail do you want to hear it yeah because i

just we're talking about moments where you think about them to this day, when you think about it, it just makes you cringe and shudder. Full body cringing. Okay, hold on. Here we go. Goodbye, Brianna. Come on, spit it out. I'm going to get it out of you, eventually. I want to find out who it is.

She wants to know whose house you were at when the mum walked in on you and... Someone. Someone. Doing things. Doing 16-year-old things. No! Naked things.

Oh, this is a whole new moment that's making me cringe. It's going to bring that one right back to the surface now. That's the main one. It's okay. Some people are going to make it better for you, okay? They're going to make it better. We've asked you, what's your most cringeworthy moment in your life?

Someone said, I was a fresh new physio treating a double lower leg amputee. I was trying to work on his abdominal strength and I told him to curl up and look at your feet. Oh, I mean, where your feet used to be. Oh, no. Luckily, he laughed.

Oh, thank God for that. Thank God for that. I used to work at a decorating store and someone asked me about wallpaper murals. I had a good relationship with the customer and I said, oh, yes, we've got heaps of cool ones, but I don't know anyone who would use this one. It's so ugly. And I pointed to one. Then she said, that's the one I want to put in my

house. That's not great. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Someone else said I once asked a colleague at a team meeting if they were left or right handed. He clearly only

had one arm. Oh, we've got them on the phone. Oh, no. Carol, that was you. Oh, Carol. Carol. It was me. It was me.

I've got so many questions. Had you just met the person? Did you not know they were an amputee? No, that was not an excuse, no. Why did you need to know if they were left or right-handed? We were doing an exercise and I can't remember what it was, but we had to write answers. I had to make the team answer with the opposing hand.

I could see a strange look on his face. I said, oh, you're left or right-handed. And he looked at me and went, what? Of course I was like, oh, my God. Oh, Carol, you poor thing. I said, oh, well, clearly I don't see you've got a disability. You're like, I don't see disabilities. I only see abilities.

Oh, Carol, bless you. Ava's here. Hi, Ava. Hi only see abilities. Oh, Carol, bless you. Ava's here. Hi, Ava. Hi, Ava. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Tell us, Ava, what's the moment you still think of to this day

that makes you cringe? So my work friend went on leave for pregnancy, and I saw her in the supermarket a couple weeks later, and I asked her, oh, my God, the baby's still in there. It had been a week since she had the baby and she just looked at me. Oh no! Oh my God! Oh God!

It was really bad and my mum brings it up to this day. The baby is still in there. Oh, you haven't had the baby yet. The baby was a week fresh. Had the baby? You're like, whoa you are super pregnant. Oh God, Ava, you poor thing.

It was so embarrassing. Oh, that makes me cringe. Did she take it well? She kind of just laughed at me with like a bit of a funky face on it but my mum was at the supermarket with me and she looks at me after and she goes, oh my God. Let me tell you, Ava, she wouldn't have taken that well.

No. Oh, no, definitely not. Oh, bless you. Bless you. Someone said, oh, my God, teaching a class of year seven or eight how to hold a pencil for sketching. Up in the front of the class, I said, holding the pencil, so take a hold of the penis at the top.

The class erupted and I had nothing. How do you get out of that one? You are Miss Penis from now on. Oh, my God. There is no coming back from that. You poor thing. In fact, retire. Until that class graduates, just retire.

You can come back in six years. You're calling in sick for the rest of the year. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, just retire. You need to- You can come back in six years. You're calling in sick for the rest of the year. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. Most cringe-worthy moment of your life. What happened?

So I was at an all-girls school, and we were really into stage challenge. Oh, yeah? We would hold a big stage challenge rehearsal on Sundays. Okay. And so we had all been going. I was a lowly year nine, and the people running the show were the year 13.

Right. Long story short, we'd had like a little bit of a prank thing going on where we were all pensive each other. Down trail, yeah. As we all did as kids, yeah. So one day, the head choreographer is standing in front of the entirety of our cast, which is like 60 people, and I think it's a great opportunity to pantsu.

Unfortunately, I pulled everything down. And I didn't even realise I'd done so because I looked away as I'd done it and instead of laughter, the room is in shock. You got a gasp, not a shock. You got a gasp, not a laugh. I got a gasp. Anonymous. Oh my God,

no. No, no. So wait, so how old was the person that you pulled their pants down? So she was 18. Thank goodness. Oh no!

In front of a bunch of year nines. I was like 13 and I was just horrified. I mean, talk about a power move. You poor thing. I can see why you want to be anonymous as well. She's on the run.

She's actually good. She took it really well, but to this day, I refuse to ever down trail anyone ever again. Full bush. Last one, last one. My father-in-law walked in on me having some solo indoor gardening time in the shower. I thought the shower door was locked.

No words were exchanged. Most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me, I have never told my wife about it. I need to know if they locked eyes. I need to know. they locked eyes. I need to know. Did they lock eyes? And did you finish the job? Oh, no.

Bree and Clint. Time to play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Claudia had another fantastic game last week. Oh, wasn't it amazing?

And we have learnt new information since last time we played. That's right. I forgot that I'm mad at you. I confessed last week to a period of time last year, like mid last year. It was in March. I looked at my sheets and I saw the weeks that you won three weeks in a row. So it was over a year ago. Get over it.

I remember the complex you gave me. I confessed to a period of cheating where I was using Google Voice to text. I thought I lost my mojo. Yeah.

I went home. That was the prank I was going for. I was telling my partner about it. Claudia got better. So me using Voice to text and being here for three weeks made Claudia better and faster than Google voice to text.

That's unbelievable. Unstoppable. Yeah. Isn't that wild? I remember it too. I created a monster. Because I also thought, I was like, Clint never wins and all of a sudden is winning a lot.

Would you like to, this week, openly go head to head with me using voice to text? Or use the iPhone 4. Yeah, you should use the iPhone 4. As punishment. Yeah. Okay. Alright, yeah, that's fair. It's really slow. Yeah, okay, I'll Google on the iPhone 4.

For fun. Yeah. And then we can do the voice to text battle next week. Yeah, that's a good idea too. Okay. Alright. You need to text through the name of the person you think is going to win. If you're correct, we call you back. 50 KFC chicken dollars is yours. Claudia, Ella or Clint on an iPhone 4. So my name is spelled C-L-A-U-D.

You can chuck the I-A if you want. Okay. Claudia on an iPhone 13. Ella on an iPhone 14. Or Clint on an iPhone 4. Who's it going to be? Bree and Clint. Do you feel lucky?

Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down Punk. Alrighty. The stakes have been laid. New information has appeared since the last time we played Google Down and Clint is being punished as he has admitted to cheating for a period of time last year.

Over a year ago. Over a year ago. But you know what? I also just want to say respect to you for coming clean eventually. Thank you. You weren't going to, though. You just needed something to confess. I feel like you need a bit of consequence.

The consequence is. So little. Clint will be Googling on an iPhone 4 this afternoon. It's like the size of your finger. It's teeny tiny. I don't. Can you. Because you're obviously not going to win.

Yeah. I could win. But you're obviously not. Katie's backed me. Good on Katie for backing the underdog. We love an underdog story. I just want you to continue, even if someone has the right answer, just continue to play so we see how long it takes.

Okay, sure, I can do that. Okay. It's actually like a bird. It's so small, yeah. It's like a little mouse. All right, here's how the game works. I am going to ask you questions I've put into Google. First person to yell out the correct answer gets a point.

First to three wins the game. Everyone ready? Ready. Ready. Okay, here we go. Question number one. Oh, my God, if I win, can you believe it? Here we go.

How many users are there on TikTok? One billion. 1.7 billion. 1.7 billion. 1.5 billion. Whoa. Claudia has got the answer that I've got, which is 1 billion-ish.

But that was what came up on Google. So Claudia is... I disagree. Hey, don't disagree with Bree. She gets everything right, okay? I think you need a double check. It's not me. I'm just going off Google, guys.

Claudia has got one on the board. My hands are so much bigger than the spoon. You weren't that far behind. No. Question number two. What is the scientific answer to what came first, the chicken or the egg? Chicken. Egg. That's right. Oh, yeah. It was 55th. Damn right. Egg.

That's right. Oh, yeah, it was 55th. Damn right. Yeah. Could have just guessed one egg. All of you could have just went a 50-50 shot. Damn it. Although I did get that answer on Google.

Did you? On the iPhone 4. Yeah. I couldn't spell. I didn't type most of the time. Wait, what couldn't you spell? Scientific. Scientific.

Yeah. Or egg. Egg. All right. One to Clint, spell? Scientific. Yeah. Or egg. Egg. All right. One to Clint, one to Claudia. Question number three. Who invented the jandals? Morris Yock.

I'm going to give it to Claudia just. And his son, Anthony. Aucklander. No, no. Hang on. Is he from Auckland? While Aucklander Morris Yock is widely thought to have invented jandals, a Taranaki woman and her brother credited their father.

Whoa. Well, they would. They would. That's great. This is the Taranaki woman. She's like, no, my dad invented jandals. They're like, do you have any proof? And she's like, nah.

Nah. All right. Two to's like, nah. Nah. All right, two to Claude, one to Clint. Question number four. Who is the biggest earning creator on OnlyFans? Chris Brown. Bad Baby. Bad Baby. And Cardi B.

Neither of those answers is what I got. The iPhone 4. It's time to shine. Oh, I got it. Who is the biggest earning creator on OnlyFans? This is the first time OnlyFans has ever been typed into this phone. Whoa. True.

It doesn't even know what OnlyFans is. Isn't that crazy? Bellathorn. That's correct. What? The iPhone 4 comes through with the goods. Hey, Claude. Oh, my God.

We're tied up. You're tied up. Clint could actually win with the iPhone 4. I'll still be mad at you if you win, by the way. It doesn't change anything. Okay. Are we all ready? Ready. I'll still be mad at you if you win, by the way. It doesn't change anything. Okay. Are we all ready? Ready. I hope so. Question number five. How many episodes were there of Mr Bean?

15. 14. That is correct. And Clint takes it out with the iPhone 4. Can you believe it? Katie, ain't nobody believed in us. And look at us now. We won. Woo-hoo.

Woo-hoo. God, is this the week of underdogs? I hate it here. That was incredible. Nice work, Katie. What made you back the underdog in the first place? Just because it's an underdog and it's clipped. Someone's got to back him.

Yeah. You could have stopped. You could have stopped at the underdog. 50 KFC chicken dollars coming out to you, Katie. Congratulations. Awesome. Thank you. You did well. You have a choice of the 50 KFC chicken dollars or out to you, Katie. Congratulations. Awesome. Thank you. You did well. You have a choice of the 50 KFC chicken dollars or the iPhone 4, Katie. What do you want?

Definitely the KFC. Bree and Clint. Man, there's a lot of music news around at the moment. We've been covering the Drake-Kendrick beef, which continues to roll on. Someone in Drake's team got shot overnight, one of his security guards. He's alive. He's alive and not facially wounded. No.

But that's wild. Meantime, there's lots of other music happening around too that doesn't concern Drake or Kendrick Lamar. I wanted to focus on two things here. The first one is not new, but somehow today is the first time it's crossed my radar. And when I checked, Claudia didn't know about it. And she's a huge fan of, well, at least the band this person was in.

Yeah, I thought this was new. I had no idea. Yeah, it was new too. Zayn Malik. Has he got new music? He dropped a new track three weeks ago. What? And he's gone country.

Really? Yeah, which I feel is a really good pivot for someone like Zayn Malik. It's a track called Alienated. It came out three weeks ago. Here's a little clip of it. Do I need to answer around my bones? Am I home if I don't know this pain? And I've been feeling Alienated

On my spaceship alone Say goodbye to the past Leave it all with a laugh It's kind of nice. I feel like it. Yeah, I like it.. I feel like it. Yeah, I like it, but I feel like it's incredibly random from him. He's going to be on his new album called Room Under The Stairs. Where did he grow up?

In the UK, I imagine. He was on UK X Factor, wasn't he? Yeah, but was it in the country? Oh, I see what you're saying. Like Beyonce, people are like, oh, so weird. No, it's not, because she grew up in Texas. She's from Texas, yeah, yeah. He grew up in Bradford, England.

Yeah, right, there you go. What's the, I don't know. This song could be on Yellowstone. England population. Half a million. Anyway, it's on his new album, which comes out next month, and he said he wrote it six years ago. Interesting.

The other one which dropped randomly today is from Macklemore, who's in the country. He could be in the country right now, actually. He could be listening. He could be listening. Hi, Macklemore. Hi, Macklemore. We love you.

He plays Spark Arena. Spark Arena tomorrow night? Yep, tomorrow night. It's going to be such a good show. When's the Wellington show? That's a great question. I'll find out. That could be tonight.

Could be. God, bloody arrogant Aucklanders not paying attention to the rest of the country. He has dropped a pro-Palestine song and it goes hard. When I say it's a pro-Palestine song, he has gone in on the song. He's swinging for the fences. He's calling out other artists for staying silent over the war in Gaza this song. He's swinging for the fences. He's calling out other artists for staying silent over the war in Gaza. Yeah.

He's saying if he had a record label, they would drop him for this song, but he doesn't have a record label, so he can say whatever he wants. Yeah. And he says in the song that he will not vote for Joe Biden in the upcoming US election. So who's he going to vote for?

Because of his record on Palestine. But there's only one other person. I know. He doesn't who's he going to vote for? Because of his record on Palestine. But there's only one other person. He doesn't say he's going to vote for Trump, but he says he will not be voting for Joe Biden in the election. The song is called Heinz Hall and here's a little bit of the new Macklemore track. the law. Occupying the quad is really against the law. And the reason to call in the police and their squad. Where does genocide land in your definition, huh?

Destroying every college in Gaza and every mosque. Pushing everyone into ruff and dropping bombs. The blood is on your hands, bite it, we can see it all. And f*** no, I'm not voting for you in the fall. Undecided, you can't cheat. You know what? That's something that

Macklemore has never been shy about. He's never shied away from controversy. He's never shied away from controversy. He's always used his platform and his music to be quite political sometimes. Yeah, big time. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go.

That could be a song that he performs. When's the Wellington show, Claude? Tonight. Tonight. Oh, that's exciting. When's the Wellington show, Claude? Tonight. Tonight. Oh, that's exciting. He's literally in the country right now. Yeah, maybe he's on the way to the show right now to do soundcheck. Yeah.

Could be. Hi, Macklemore. Hi, Macklemore. We love the new song. Bree and Clint. Something big's about to go down. From iHeartRadio. Not that.

Not that. Ready? Let's try it again. Try? Let's try it again. Say it again. Say it again. Next Thursday, something big is about to go down. Brie and Clint's 24-hour blockbuster binge-a-thon. I'm so excited for this.

Something that has really bothered me over the years working with you is that you haven't seen any movies. You've seen no classic films. You've seen a couple. I've seen a few, but my repertoire is very small. It's very small and something that I'm so passionate about and I feel like I've always wanted to share this with you and you can't.

You can't quote movies. You don't know what I'm talking about because you just haven't seen them. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with Meg Ryan in it. What is going on? I couldn't name one. That is wild. So we have put together a 24 hour blockbuster binge-a-thon where we're going to put together the must-see movies that Clint needs to see and watch them for 24 hours.

I'm excited. You should be. Yeah, it's going to be great. I feel like your whole world's going to change after this. There's a challenge in me staying awake, but we'll face that when we come to it. Don't worry. We'll have stuff planned. Yeah.

Yeah. How are you with needles? I was going to say little nipple electrodes. Yeah. How are you with needles? I was going to say little nipple electrodes. Yeah, how are you with nipple stuff? Anyway, to celebrate that, which is all going down in Todonga next Thursday, we're going to kick it off at 7pm after our show and watch movies all the way through till the next day.

So that Friday show is going to be loose. So to celebrate, we're coming up with different movie games. And I thought this afternoon we could play a game where essentially it's movie tennis. Where the whole show is going to play, Claudia and Ella. And how it's going to work is one of us will name an actor. And then we will go around in a circle. And you have to name different movies that that actor has been in. Let's do it.

Okay, so I'll go first. Producers, are you ready on the mics? I hope so. So we'll go me, Clint, Ella, Claudia, back to me. Got it. If you can't get it within three seconds, you're out. Right? My actor I'm choosing is Julia Roberts.

Oh, good one. Notting Hill. Pretty Woman. Oh, no.. Notting Hill. Pretty Woman. Oh, no. Ella. I'm out. I have nothing. What?

I love her. I love her. But I'm like... Keep going, Claude. Oh, I've blanked. I don't know. I love her. What?

Is she in? I was going to say Pretty Woman and now I have nothing else. Okay, back to me. My Best Friend's Wedding. Okay, Claude, it's just me and you. Just me and you. Ocean's Eleven. Nice from you.

That's a good one. Eat, pray, love. Of course. Eat, pray, love. The one where her and George Clooney go to the island for their daughter's wedding but they hate each other. Paradise Found.

It's called Ticket to Paradise, but I'll let you have it. Give it to me. I'll let you have it. Hook. Oh, was she in it? She was Tinkerbell. She sure was.

Nah, I got nothing. Yes! Okay, one round to me. Who wants to go next? That was hard. Okay, weirdly, I've chosen George Clooney. Have you? And I'll go first with Ticket to Paradise.

Nice. Okay, Ella. Is he like a James Bond? I got nothing. Maybe this is more for Ella. Yeah. He was in Up in the Air or In the Air with Anna Kendrick. Are you going to give it to her?

Yep. I don't know. You're the movie expert. Ocean's Eleven. Yep. Batman. Oh, nice. George Clooney. All I can think of is Brad Pitt. Oh, I think I might be out.

You're out? Yeah. Oh, God. What else is he in? Ocean's 12. No, no franchises. Oh, what? Okay, I'm out. Burn After Reading.

Is that a movie? Yeah, with Brad Pitt. Nice, you win that round. Yes. Well done. I am the movie guy. Okay, we've got time to do one more round. Okay, who wants to throw someone up?

Ella, what's the actor we're going to use? Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep. Okay, we've got time to do one more round. Okay, who wants to throw someone up? Ella, what's the actor we're going to use? Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep. Okay, give us the first movie. Mamma Mia. Nice. Mamma Mia. Julie and Julia.

I don't remember what it's called. Pass. I'm out. You just need one to win. Oh, one to win. with her daughter. I don't remember what it's called. Pass. I'm out. You just need one to win. Oh, one to win. You love her. I know. Oh, um, um, um, um.

You named your dog after her. Oh, my God. We're so bad at this. The one where she's in it with Alec Baldwin and I watch. It's complicated. There you go. Well done. Yes.

If you want to suggest a movie for us to binge on our Blockbuster Binge-a-thon, go and do it now at ZM Online. We need to find the best movies that I've never seen to watch back to back to back. To back. Bree and Clint. A friend of mine told me last night that her partner sleeps on a Shakti mat in the bed. So when she goes in for a cuddle, boom. She gets pricked too.

Shakti mat. Do you think, because I can imagine my wife sleeping on a Shakti mat to keep me on my side of the bed. Like she'd go, oh yeah, that's a good. Maybe we could put a Shakti mat between us, like a deterrent. You're thinking maybe it's a tactic. Yeah, maybe. But then you have to sleep in pain the whole night.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. It's strange. So we want to know what's the weird thing that your partner does and when did you find out about it and do you love them because of it or in spite of it? Hello, Anonymous. Hello. Tell us, Anonymous, dob your partner in.

What's the weird behaviour? Okay, so basically he always has his finger up his nose. Always. Okay. And I asked him one day, I said, what are you doing? Like, do you need a tissue? What is wrong with you? And he said, no, I picked my booger down,

I rolled them up into little balls and I put them back up my nose. Wait, what? What? So he's got like a little booger storage up his nose with booger balls all the time. He's repopulating his nose with pre-picked boogies. Yeah. He's got booger balls up there. Yeah.

Oh, my lanta. Okay, how did you react to that? What did you say? Oh, because I just hate boogers. Even if I see snot, I'm dry reaching it. Are you married to this man? Nearly. Nearly.

Why is he putting them back up? Like, I could get past the fact if he likes to pick his nose, I mean, and get the boogers out of his system, like, whatever. But why is he rolling them up and putting them back into his nose? Apparently he's done it all his life, and it's just one of those habits he cannot break, and it's so disgusting. It's so weird, Anonymous. I can't even sugarcoat it.

It's so weird. Anonymous number two, welcome to the show. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. Hello. Tell us, mate, what's the weird behaviour your partner does? So in his sleep, he bites his arm hairs, all his arm hairs and hairs off his hands.

What? While he's asleep? Yeah, while he's asleep. He does a little sleep grooming and nibbles his arm hairs off. Yeah. And it makes this horrific noise. You can hear his teeth like going up. Like, you know how some men have like quite thick hair?

Yeah. And his teeth grind up the hair, and it's like, it's just filling out. I'm just going to try and bite some arm hairs off now. Try and bite one out. No, they just go between your teeth like flops. I think she's talking about she grinds it in his back teeth. No, he pulls them out.

I think he's done it for so long, because he's done it ever, like long before I was with him. That's so strange. Yeah, he's done it for so long because he's done it ever, like, long before I was with him. That's so strange. Yeah, he's done it for so long that they're, like, really thick. Yeah. Hey, Anonymous, can you explain to me the first time that you found this out or you woke up and realised what he was doing?

I actually can't remember what I, like, the first time. I think I remembered going to my friend. Like, I didn't want to say anything to him at first. And, like, I went to my friend and I was like, you know, such and such is doing this weird thing. I don't know how to feel about it. But now I just, like, wake him up and I'm like, oh, you need to stop doing that.

Cut it out. It's just something he does. And you love him anyway. Some men snore, some men fart, some men chew their own arm hairs off while they sleep. It just depends on which one you get. Don't forget the hand hairs as well. And the hand hairs, of course.

Thanks, Anonymous. Thanks, Anonymous. Someone texted her and said, My wife thinks it's funny to leave skid marks in the dunny. Everywhere we go, home, her parents' place, friends' places, she announces it. The bigger the better in her eyes. She thinks it's the funniest thing

ever. We are married now. It's too late to make her stop. It's just how we live now. Your wife is a monster. What is she up to? Your wife is a monster. What, she goes and then announces it to everyone? I'd hate that. Like a badge of honour. I would hate that.

My girlfriend is very bitey. She will just bite me multiple times a day. It's odd, but apparently I just look very nibbly. Finally, Natasha's here. Hi, Natasha. Hi, Natasha. Hello. What's the weird thing your partner does?

So every night when we go to sleep, he'll put on a YouTube video of some random person talking about finance. Wait, wait. So instead of like a sleep machine or like whale noises, he has to be listening to like a podcast about finance. Yeah, pretty much. Like I found it really weird when we first started dating, but I've gotten used to it. Like investing and stuff like that, like Warren Buffett.

Yeah, because he really loves like politics, finance, history, that kind of thing. Right. And yeah, so Warren Buffett's one of his favorites. Well, wow, there you go. Warren Buffett is the guy. Does Warren Buffett have a nice voice?

Warren Buffett's like 80, 90 something. But is he like David Attenborough? Kind of, but talking about interest rates and stuff and compound interest. Natasha. There have been so many videos, I can't keep up. Natasha, does he have better sleep depending on what the economy's doing?

I think so. I think so. Yeah. You just find him tossing and turning in the night. He's like, inflation. It's stuck. It's bad. It's bad.

It's really crippling our economy. Oh, that's so weird, Natasha. Thanks for calling through. Thank you. I guess it would bore you to sleep. Yeah. That side of it. I've heard people say they put our podcast on to go to sleep.

People say that to me too, yeah. Straight to sleep. Really helps them to nod off. Well, there you go. Whatever weird thing your person is doing, just remember, they're your weird person. Love them despite. Let's get your birthday bangers on the air for a Wednesday.

How fitting. How uplifting as well. It is every time. You hear it. B. Da Vinci and Patrick Hernandez for the record. Some good ones today. Remember Pātea Māori Club performed at the Rugby World Cup final? Did they? Yeah, last year or the year before.

Oh, yes, I know what you're talking about. Very drunk Taika Waititi introduced them. I do recall. I do recall. Party of Māori Club. Give it up, guys. This is so good to be here. I was reading an article written up on stuff.co.nz today where they've published the information from Statistics New Zealand

about what you should be earning at each age, each stage of life here in New Zealand. You said they get it from the census. Yeah. And I forgot that that is a question you have to answer in the census. Yeah, how much money do you make? Do you reckon anyone that works for the census? Yeah.

Like, do they look up their friends' names and stuff? No, it's not attached to your name. The census is not attached to your name. Oh, is it not? No. Not in the way they interpret the data. They put you into groups. They'll put you into Caucasian female late 30s.

But you don't have to, I feel like you have to enter your name when you do it. Right. Well, maybe it would be a huge conflict of interest. Yeah, like it's wrong. But I'm just saying, imagine you worked at the census. You're like, I want to know what Damien earns. Well, it's an interesting one because there's a real trend these days

for younger people to be open about how much they earn. Like it's always been very taboo to tell somebody or ask somebody how much they earn. But that is kind of changing in the workplace at the moment where people are open about how much money they earn. And would you say it's accurate that workplaces don't want you talking about how much money you earn? Generally, no, they don't. Because

knowledge is power. Exactly, and there's good reason for that. Anyway, I've got this information here and it covers everybody in this team. It goes all the way up to retirement. Okay. So let's start with teenagers. According to Statistics New Zealand, how much do teenagers earn? Those aged between 15 and 19 have a median weekly income of $390.

Oh, is this done by weekly amount? Well, there's not an hourly rate for teenagers because they might not work every week of the year. Right. They have school and things like that. Right, yeah, gotcha. But I guess that includes 18 and 19-year-olds, school leavers. Yeah. Who would be working or at uni.

Okay, that's teenagers. Cool. Sweet. People in their 20s. How much are they earning? Let's start with people in their 20s, which people aged 20 to 24, a median hourly rate of $26 an hour,

which is $1,000 a week, which is $52,400 a year. Far out. Okay, and what age group? is $52,400 a year. Far out. Okay. And what age group? 20 to 24-year-olds. 20 to 24. People in the second half of their 20s in New Zealand,

the 25 to 29-year-olds, they've got a median weekly income of $1,247, which is $62,400 a year. And this is obviously before tax. Yeah, before tax. Yeah, before tax. So about 60 grand. $62,400 a year. And this is obviously before tax. Yeah, before tax. Yeah, before tax. So about 60 grand. $62,400.

Yeah. Okay, you're getting to your 30s. 30s. You're older, you're more experienced, so you're more valuable to employers. The median weekly income for people aged 30 to 34 in New Zealand is $1,360. Okay. Which is $1,360. Okay.

Which is $70,700 a year. Oh, that's a big jump. Yeah, it's a big jump from your 20s. Yeah. And those in their late 30s, so 35 to 39, you're looking at $74,800 a year. Oh, so not as big a jump. Not as big a jump.

No, you've gone from 70 to 74. But I mean, it's $5,000. But yeah, no, it's not a huge. No. And then it kind of plateaus from there. Well, it doesn't go up from there. There's very little change in your 40s. From 40 to 44, there's a median income of $72,800.

Okay. From your second half of your 40s, you're looking at $73,700. Wait, are you going backwards? Some of these are. No. Yeah. In your 50s, you're looking at $73,700. Wait, are you going backwards? Some of these are. No. Yeah. In your 50s, you go backwards. What?

So it goes down to $72,500. Do you reckon that could be that some people... No, people are still working full time. In your 50s? I didn't think you were less valuable in your 50s. I would argue you're the most valuable. I thought 50s were like peak valuable. You are the most valuable. You are the most valuable.

You know the most. Yeah. You're not looking to retire soon. You've got at least a decade more of work in you. What's the retirement age in this country at the moment? God, it keeps going up, doesn't it? So $62,500 for the first half of your 50s, $69,000 for the second half of your 50s, $69,000 for the second half of your 50s.

Going down again. Yeah, yeah. And then in your 60s, the median income for people from 60 to 64, the last bracket before you get your superannuation, $66,500. Going down again. So currently, if you are 39,

39, you are peak income level right now. You are at the peak of your powers. And then it's all downhill from there. According to this information, yeah. That's so depressing. According to this information, it doesn't get any better after that. How depressing is that? God.

Look, it's just the median income. Someone just text through and they said, get into sales. I'm 32 and last year I made $170,000 before tax. Selling what? Holy smokes. Selling what?

How are people in their 25 to 30s only earning $60,000? I make $150,000 at 26. What? And I still can't afford a house. How are people in their 25 to 30s only earning 60K? I make 150 grand at 26. What? And I still can't afford a house. How are my mates the same age having kids? I think the census is off. Yeah.

It's just interesting. What are you doing at 26 to earn 150K? Yeah. And what is the $170,000 person selling? Like what? Drugs. You know what? Yeah, there's no tax on drugs.

That's tax free, ladies and gentlemen. Brian Clint. The Drake and Kendrick beef is everywhere at the moment. It's the biggest story in music at the moment. Early in the piece, Drake called out music producer Metro Booman as well. For what? Just, he, to paraphrase, he said, shut your H-O-E-A-S-S up, Metro, and make some drums. Wow.

Yeah. But Drake's kind of been coming for everybody in this battle. He's just firing shots all over the place. Yeah, it's wild. Anyway, Kendrick has replied the way that Kendrick has. If you're following it, you'll know. If you're not, you probably don't care. But this Metro Berman reply is quite interesting.

So he's not a rapper. He's a beat producer. What he has done is he's produced a beat which he has put out on the internet for free and he's encouraging people to rap over it with their own Drake diss track and he's going to give the best one, in his opinion,

free Metro Boomin beats to further their rap career. What? It's very clever. It is very clever. It's very clever. Now, there is some sampling in it. I think he made a song using AI and then he sampled the song that he made to create this beat.

Okay. But it centres around the allegations that Drake has had a lot of plastic surgery and not necessarily just on his face, that a lot of his physique is created by a surgeon. I've never heard that before. They're saying that his abs aren't real. Has he had a Brazilian butt lift?

And they're accusing him of having a Brazilian butt lift. No, are they actually? They've said that Drake is on a Zempik and that Has he had a Brazilian butt lift? And they're accusing him of having a Brazilian butt lift. No, are they actually? They've said that Drake is on a Zempik and that he has had a Brazilian butt lift. And fake abs. And fake abs implanted. They're like, it's like filler. So this is the beat from Metro Berman that dropped today.

It's called BBL Drizzy. BBL Drizzy. BBL Drizzy. BBL Drizzy. This is on the internet for anybody to use to do whatever they want with it. Should we drop a diss track? Should we? Should we? Oh, this is where you come in. You can do whatever you want with it.

You can remix it. You can rap over it. You can do whatever you want to it. We should write a diss track. What if we win? He has weaponised the people in this rap battle. So no longer is it a battle in the comments. You can come up with your own a diss track. What if we win? He has weaponised the people in this rap battle. So no longer is it a battle in the comments. You can come up with your own rap diss track if you want to enter the battle

and go head to head with Drake and do whatever you want with it. You could become famous off this diss track. You know, if it's the one that Metro Berman chooses as the winner. You could get a recording contract. Imagine the story. That's wild.

Once you hear this a couple of times, and I've listened to it a few times today and there are some raps coming up in my TikTok timeline too of people doing it. Good luck getting BBL Drizzy out of your head. BBL Drizzy. It's so catchy. It's so catchy. BBL Drizzy.

So yeah. I can't wait. I thought I couldn't get any more petty. It goes there. I hope some of them come up on my TikTok. I'd love to see them. Drake just responded with an Instagram post where he wrote, you wrote a song about my butt? Cool, man. Good comeback.

If anyone cares, I think Kendrick is up. I think Kendrick's winning. Well, he's currently winning the feud. I believe. That's my opinion. Okay. But it's up to you. It's up to you.

You get to make up your own mind. Interesting. And your own rep now. Bree and Clint. And that's the end of the show, everybody. Thanks for joining us. Be the L-Trizzy. I mean, it's catchy.

It's catchy. It's very catchy. Hey, anyone going to the Macklemore show tonight in Wellington, I heard that he's on at 8.30. Oh, nice. If that affects your plans or whatnot. But doors open. They opened half an hour ago at 6.30.
