Can I just say, if you're a friend of mine, like a true actual real friend, then you will never ever ask me to help you move house. And have I? No. No. Don't think so, you don't like me to come to your house. So, kind of puts me in the clear. I read this story about this guy who's fuming

after this person he went to university with out of the blue. I believe they haven't seen each other for like seven or eight years. Messages him and says, hey, can you come and help me move house because he has a ute. Out of the blue, just messages him out of the blue. Do you want to know what the message is? That's what he reckons. Like they actually physically haven't hung out, like just them. Yeah, I do want to hear the message because I want to hear what kind of small talk and banter he put in there first. You know? Yeah, I do want to hear the message because I want to hear what kind of small talk and banter he put in there first You know like yeah, so this was the message. Hey

Exclamation mark exclamation mark. Hey long time any chance you're free this Saturday. I need help moving You're the best damn no foreplay just straight in straight into it. Not even like hey, bro It's been ages. I was thinking about you the other day and this time that we did this thing. See. How's your mum? I almost would rather yeah none of that. Oh. Because it's not it's not genuine. Yeah. You know so I'm kind of like okay get to the point what do you want from me? It is a bit of dinner and a show though beforehand you know. Yeah but I don't want the. I don't want the dinner. I don't want the thing that comes afterwards Yeah, I don't want any of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My friend Nixon

Two-time ute owner said that selling his ute was so good because people don't ask him anymore. Is he a tradie? No, just just had a ute. Oh, so not an electrician or no, he's not a landscaper No, they don't actually check when you go to buy a ute. They should. No they don't, they're just like. They should though. They're just like, do you want one? Do you reckon it's, yeah, because I've heard him talk before about how everyone would ask

for a hand when they're moving stuff. Oh not even that, just on the weekends like, hey I bought a treadmill, can you help me pick it up? It's almost punishment for buying a ute when you don't need one. Well there's a little bit of me that goes hey man at least that ute was getting to live out its ute fantasies of actually being a ute a few weekends a year. Yeah um have you ever had this happen to you where someone like from your past out of the blue. Yes yes yes, yes. You just reminded me. Like contacts you for whatever reason. Couple of weeks ago, I got a message from someone

that said, hey, my 40th is coming up. So and so is gonna DJ, you should come too. As in come to DJ or just come to the party? That's what it said. That's what it said. But it read to me like I was being invited to to the party? That's what it said. That's what it said. But it read to me like I was being invited to DJ the party. Sounds like it. Not to attend the party, to DJ the party. And I was like, oh yeah, cool. I'll see if I'm available. You should just go with none of your DJ stuff. No,

it's been. It's been. Oh, it's been. I didn't go. I was being invited to DJ. I know that for sure. That sounds like you were. Sounds like you definitely were. I thought we could ask this afternoon on 0800DIALS.M or you can text us on 9696. Why did someone from your past that you hadn't seen for ages, what did they contact you just out of the blue for? Where you're like, oh my god, I have not heard from this person in years. People with trades will get this a lot. Oh, people with like, lower degrees, skills. Yeah, people with skills, people with assets, useful assets or skills will get this regularly.

And I really want to know from the people who are telling us stories. Did you completely ignore them? Did you help out? And was there any foreplay involved in the message? Yeah. Was there any at all? Did they open with any friendly banter? That is Franklin. Why did you hear from someone from your past just out of the blue?

Maybe months, maybe years later? You knew there was an ulterior motive. You knew. You always know. And isn't it disappointing when you figure it out too, when they finally go, hey, by the way. Yeah. At the beginning you'd be naive to it, you're like, oh, it's so nice to hear from such and such. It's so nice that they thought of me. And then over time you get cynical and every time you had a message pop up, you'd be like, oh. What do they want now? Which is tough if you do have a friend from your past who does just genuinely want to be friends. And they're like, hey man, we need to catch up.

And you're like, what do you want? More than likely though. Yeah, more than likely. They want something. Like Amelia, who's a house painter. Hi Amelia. Hi Amelia. Hey guys.

You'd get this a bit, right? Oh my goodness, yes. How do the messages usually start? Yeah, what do they say? It's usually just the classic like, hey, we haven't seen each other in a while. Oh. And do you just know straight away now when you get a message like that?

It depends on who it is. Like I have one ex-coworker who messaged me so many times. I've had to block her on everything. Oh. Wow. Why was she wanting you to block her on everything. Oh, wow. Why was she wanting you to paint her house? If she's a coworker, is she a house painter as well? No, no, ex-coworker before I was even a painter. Oh, before you moved into painting.

Yeah, right. Yeah, interesting. Yeah, yeah. What do people want? Do they want a free house paint? Do they want a discount? It's a pretty big job. Oh, they want cash, he's done, and I don't think they realise that sometimes,

it still costs quite a bit of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I bet. And it's a skill. And you don't do cashies, eh, Amelia? I'm actually on my way to one right now. I was trying to help you out there. Allegedly. Allegedly.

You're just kidding, eh? Yeah. No, I only reply to the ones of people I like. Oh, we're doubling down. All right, thanks, Amelia, we appreciate it. Let's go to Anonymous who's a partner as a plumber. Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous.

Hi. You're saying that not only does your partner get this, you get this through, because of your partner. Yeah, so people ask me, they go, what does your partner do for a living? And I go, oh, he's a plumber. Why, what do you need? So I already know that they want him to come out.

How annoying. Yeah, I had one time my daughter's daycare teacher messaged me randomly and tried to like sweet talk me. Really, and how did she do it? She just said, hey, like how's your trip going? Cause just said, hey, how's your trip going? Because we were away. But how's everything going? And then she said, oh, when you get back, can your partner come look at our house? But your partner doesn't do cashies though, either, does he, Anonymous?

No, of course not. Of course not. We thought so. Not in the plumbing business. No way. That's strictly painters. Someone said, I got the classic, sorry I bullied you in year nine text. Oh, okay. So they didn't want anything. They just wanted themselves to feel better. They said, I ignored it.

I'm off living my best life. Please go away. This one said, a girl I went to school with, messaged me and I hadn't heard from her in years and said, can I borrow some money? And it wasn't just a $20 loan, she wanted $700. I politely declined and have deleted her since. That's fair. What about this? $700 from some girl you randomly went to school with back in the day. You haven't seen her in years. Come on. We're asking what did someone contact you out of the blue for? Someone said, I had an ex-girlfriend who had the audacity to text me and ask if

I'd like to meet my six-year-old son. Whoa. That's out of the blue? That is out of the blue. For a few different reasons. What about this? I had an old friend from intermediate days message me to ask if I would go look at a horse for her that was for sale near me. I live in the Manawatu and she lives down south. I hadn't seen her in 20 odd years. I'm a nice person so I said yes, was a nice horse so she bought him sight unseen and I haven't heard from her since lol. Are you a horse expert? Obviously. Well not Well, not obviously. Not obviously.

They're just like, can you look at a horse for me? Surely. And is that a euphemism? Going to ask someone to go look at a horse for you. I got engaged two days later, someone I hadn't talked to in three years messaged me, hey girl, how you doing? No, she did not get an invite to the wedding. Wow, you think people would that?

They were already grifting to try and get an invite to the wedding. Wow, you think people would there? They were already grifting to try and get an invite to the wedding, far out. Someone else said, an old flatmate who was really awful to me and made me move out with how she treated me, then blocked me on social media. She texted me two years later with a question about my work and that she needed help with, and I foolishly pointed her in the right direction

because I wanted to make sure she was doing okay. Says so much more about you than it does about that other person but you should have not replied. We're getting so many texts about the MLM pyramid scheme, Arbonne, I'm not meant to say it out loud are you, pyramid scheme systems, people are like, I haven't seen you in ages, we should catch up I got one of those couple of years ago from someone I went to primary school with oh yeah and I was like wow like I don't even talk to you since we went to primary school that's how like deep they go into their contacts

we got to eventually yeah their names Brian Shows brought to you by NEON. You can stream the new season of And Just Like That. It's streaming on Macs available on NEON right now. This is the Tea. Everyone has been talking about Kris Jenner's new face, the facelift that stopped the world. How much did she pay for it? Who did the work?

How many babies were sacrificed to make her look that young? There's just so many questions that have been flying around and the comedian named Katherine Ryan, a lot of people might know who that is. She's appeared on a podcast and said that she's figured out who is the surgeon that did the facelift for Kris Jenner. And she has gotten a quote before to ask the questions about how much it would cost to get her face facelifted.

Yeah, right. And so people are talking about it. She reckons she's figured it out, how much it costs. Take a listen. On Kris, it might have been more. She might have had some additional things. I believe I'm the first person in the world to publicly identify her surgeon. I love my life. He's not really on social. For me the quote was $174,000. Yeah. And I am 42. So I mean that's a one bedroom house in Nottingham.

So what she was saying is, if she got quoted that and she's only 42. Oh, right. It'd be more for an older person. Maybe she had to have more things done. So potentially more. So 178,000, that's US. What's the warranty on one of those facelifts? You know? It's got to be a 10 year warranty. That's US. What's the warranty on one of those facelifts? You know? It's gotta be a 10 year warranty surely. Yeah, if bits start to drop off and sag off, what if you start to look all Michael Jackson and your nose falls apart?

Yeah, gotta be 10 years. With that kind of money being spent. It's a lot isn't it? It's a crazy time that we live in. That's wild. That's the tea. Their name's Bree and Clint podcast. The theory goes that the more unhinged the nickname you have for your partner, the more

you love them, you know? The deeper the connection, the funnier you guys are together. Yeah, totally. I get that. I found a thread of people sharing the most unhinged nickname their partner has for them. And if that's true, this is true love. Would you like to hear some of them? Yeah go on. Okay someone said my partner calls me Bambi because my mum died when I was little. I don't know about that one. It's

true love. Okay. My partner calls me coloniser because I'm British and he's South African That's good. That's quite funny. What do you want now colonizer? While I that one I Saw my name in his phone the other day. It was jumper cables because he says I'm always starting something I think that would have started so I was gonna say that's a trap because if you react to it he'll go See this is why you call jumper cables. Exactly what I was talking about. See I told you he's always starting something My name is Autumn and my fiance calls me autism My partner calls me shakes I have epilepsy

My partner calls me Shakes. I have epilepsy. These are all brutal. We are talking about unhinged nicknames that your partner has for you. Someone said, you'll like this one, someone said my name's Kelly, which became Kelly Welly. And then Wellington. And then Beef Wellington. Now my name is just Beef. I don't think I'd like that nickname. Hey Beef! Oi Beef! Hey Beef what's for dinner? Beef!

Hey Beef! Are these undies dirty? My name is Jamie, which became James, and then Jim. My husband calls me Jim. Random. The romance is still alive. We're talking the unhinged names you have for your partner. Someone said my partner is half Mexican and I call him Paragraft because he's not a full Esche. Esse, Esse, full Esse.

I call my partner speed bump because one time when

she was a kid she got run over by a parade float. I like how specific that one is. That's quite fun. Not me, but my friend calls his girlfriend hot wheels because she's in a wheelchair. Far out. Only he's allowed to call her that. Mm. Hey. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, not a horrible thing to be called Hot Wheels.

My partner calls me Curly Fry because I have scoliosis. These are all just mean. These are actually, I've changed my mind about all of this. It's actually just mean. Unhinged nicknames your partner gave you. I call my partner chicken and I'm egg because the chicken always comes before the egg. I like that. That's my favourite one. I think that's very good.

I'm currently pregnant and my husband calls me big chonk. Also mega chonk, tyrannosaurus Chonk, and Big Chongus. Jesus. Is that to her face or? It has to be. Does it? Well, she's reporting it. She said, I am pregnant.

This is what he calls me. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, these are all from people. Well, most of them from the people with the nickname. So I hope they're laughing at it. Last one I've got here and hope they're laughing at it. Last one I've got here, and then we're gonna open it up to you guys.

Last one I've got, I call her Ian because she's half Indian, half Ind Ian. Half of Indian is Ian, so he calls her Ian. No? Okay. Not as good as the chicken and the egg. Not as good as curly with scoliosis. The chicken and the eggs was definitely up there as my favourite.

Does anyone in our group have any unhinged nicknames for their partner Ella? I feel like this is a bit of you. I feel like you would have an unhinged nickname. Hers will be weird though. Yeah, like real inside joke. No, we are like flatting with a family, my friends and the three year old.

That's what Ella calls living at home. No, I'm not anymore, I've moved out. Be like I'm related to all of them. I've moved out. My flatmate mums being such a dick. No it's my friend.

Ella? I went through a phase earlier this year. It's like a badge of shame, mate. Sorry. I'm at ten. Ten? You're the most. Wink. I think 10's outrageous though, is it? Nah. It's less than two a month. Was it 10 or was it more than that Ella? Tell the truth! Courtney told the truth! Yeah Courtney told the truth. Lumpa lumpa. Okay 15. Is it actually 15? Or is it more?

I'm not a big uber eater. It's not my thing. Don't really like it. But this year, due to a few work trips, I've had four Uber Eats. Oh, get out! You know what? I vote Courtney still gets the 50 KFC chicken dollars

because of how honest she was. Yeah, totally. And she deserves it. Yep, and Ella can pay for it because she's live. Yeah, and Ella can- Ella can deliver it to you. Exactly. So she knows what it feels like.

I hate cooking. Listen to her. I hate cooking. You have to do it every day. Well done, Courtney. We'll get those KFC chicken dollars out to you, mate. Awesome. Thank you so much, guys.

You're welcome. We are resuming our search for the biggest wonder of the 2010s. Look, we had a hard week last week, OK? Give us a break. Oh, you're playing Gangnam Style, which funnily enough is one of the biggest one-hit wonders of the 2010s. Gangnam Style is a front-runner for this competition to win biggest one-hit wonder of the 2010s. Gangnam Style

2012, I wanna say. That's out of guess. Songs like Like a G6 are also right up there. And songs like Kali Rae Jepsen were in there but we have had pushback so today we have to decide once and for all. Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy In or out? But here's my number What do the producers think? In or out?

Carly Rae Jepsen, call me maybe. I think we've got to be realistic here. It has to be in. Like, she does have other songs, but none of them were bangers. And none of them... I don't think I've heard another one on the radio ever. Not gonna say she didn't have other songs. Yeah, I would disagree with you that she did have bangers but not necessarily full blown hits, right? Yeah.

And this is the thing, I also think you have to take into account how massive that song was. Yeah, this just doesn't compare. I really, really, really, really, really, really like you. Like it's a banger. It's a banger. And I love it. But in relation to the success and the popularity I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really Great song. And the one Claudia really doesn't want in there, Bestial. Not because she doesn't think it's good, because she thinks best deal had more hits. What was their other hit Claude?

They've got things we lost in the fire. No they do not. Yes they do. No they do not. And they have a song that they've featured on with, is it Marshmello? Yeah. That was a great one. Big fan over there. Big fan.

Honestly, if Carly Rae Jepsen is going in, they are going in tenfold. We are opening this up for 24 hours of scrutiny. in tenfold. We are opening this up for 24 hours of scrutiny. We have published the list as it stands on the Breanne Clint Instagram page right now. And Facebook page. Oh and Facebook page okay and the comments are open. You can suggest a song that is not currently on our list. You can also as someone in the comments is doing right now on Instagram, argue that someone on there shouldn't be on there because they're not a one hit wonder. We've already had criticism of the inclusion of,

oh, they haven't actually specified who yet. So you can debate some of them if you want to. Someone said, this is homophobic. Carly Rae Jepsen is a gay legend. And in Pride Month 2, no way she's a one hit wonder. Wait, Carly Rae Jepsen's not gay. and in Pride Month 2, no way she's a one-hit wonder. Wait, Carly Rae Jepsen's not gay. Do they just mean like she's a gay icon? She's a gay icon, like Lady Gaga's a gay icon. Is that what they say?

I think so, yeah. That's what they say. Someone said, okay, so you also have to understand how this works because someone in there is suggesting Bruno Mars' The Lazy Song, which was a hit in the 2010s. Unfortunately, Bruno Mars definitely has other songs. Bruno Mars had a few more. Someone has suggested Ghost, Ella Henderson, which is an absolute bop. Was that released in the 2010s?

Yeah, I believe so. She was X Factor, wasn't she? She was X Factor, wasn't she? She was X Factor. I'm just seeing what it was. What? Yeah, God, I love this song so much. Yeah, 2014, that's going on the list for sure. Someone in the comments is questioning us, including Cody Simpson on the list. They said, outrageous to call Cody Simpson a one hit wonder. Is it? Is it? What about La Di Da or La Di Di whatever that song was. Cody Simpson La Di Di? Yeah. Wait who's this? Cody Simpson apparently.

Nah Cody Simpson's going in. Someone said Groover's in the Heart. That surely was not in... Oh, from D-Lights. That wasn't in 2010. No, that's in the late 90s. 90s, wasn't it? Yeah.

What's Claudia going on about? What? I'm just laughing about that. I was going to say that sounds old, isn't it? I had it so old, didn't I? Yeah. Bubbly Colby Kalei, is that on the list? That would be too old.

That'll be too old as well. Oh, that's 2007. Yeah, could be. I don't know, but yeah. Do we have Fight Song by Rachel Platten on the list? Yeah, we do. Yeah. That's definitely got to be on there. It's not going to win though.

No, but every song has to have its time in the sun. It's going to put up a good fight though. Just like they did the first time around. True. You know? You have to have them all. If we're going to take this seriously, we need every one hit wonder banger from the 2010s because then ultimately people can't argue and they won't argue that the best one will win. Can I ask an important cultural question? Are we including Dane Rumble with Cruel? What was his other hit? He had Takes Me Higher with Jay Williams but I think he

was a feature artist on that track. Doesn't count then. Remember we discussed, we discussed if there was another song where they were a feature artist. Doesn't count. Otherwise, otherwise we have to call Bastille a multi hit artist as well, don't we? Yeah, because Happier with Marshmello was a hit, but it wasn't just Bastille on that song. No. You know?

Yeah. Okay, I agree. 24 hours to have your say on social media if you want it. And we want you to have your say. Oh, absolutely. We're taking this very seriously. Someone said you guys are changing the rules. No, I think that's what they always were, weren't they?

Well, we need to say that we need to say the rules. Okay, the rules are... It has to be your hit. It can't be a feature. Yeah. Because we're including Owl City. Because they had a song which was a collab. With Carly Rae Jepsen.

Yes. Which was a hit. But we're not including that song are we? No. Yes, Claudia. I've got a real spanner to throw in the works, that means we can't include Gotye, somebody that I used to know. Why?

Oh, because it's a feature track. That means Gotye has no hits. You're saying Goatier has a no hit wonder. Let's just put it in anyway. We don't need to tell anyone. Yeah, can we just say that the rules are flexible and we- The rules are we do what we want. Guys, we're running the comp.

We make it up as we go along. I said we were open to criticism, we're not. Also, okay, shit, Alf City Fireflies came out in 2009. Oh okay well it's definitely not in. That settles it. What about Skinny Love by Birdie? Put it in. That's it. Ella? Oh I was just gonna say Joe Jonas Cake by the Ocean but now we're thinking that's too late. 2015? Does that count from DNCE? 100%. Yeah, 200%. I thought of one.

Yeah, no, that's DNCE. That's not Joe Jonas. Cake by the Ocean is in for a one hit wonder. Name another DNCE hit. Um... Yeah, it's in. And it's a banger. OK, you can text us at the moment if you want, we've got a text line open.

But the easiest way to do this is to go and put your information, your... Your two cents on our Instagram post or Facebook post? Because we're going to launch the battles tomorrow. And if you don't put in your suggestions, don't come cry and ask tomorrow if the song that you think should have been on there is not on there. So go put them in now. Don't come crying, ask tomorrow if the song that you think should have been on there is not on there. So go put them in now. Play ZM's Bree and Clint.

A friend of mine, I've told a few unhinged stories about him on the radio, but here's another one. My friend Dan was talking to him this morning. I was like, what are you up to? He's like, oh, I'm just in Cambridge. So he lives in Auckland. And he said, oh, I'm just in Cambridge. So he lives in Auckland. And he said, oh, I'm just in Cambridge. And I said, what are you doing there? He goes, oh, I just popped down to get a haircut.

And I went, what? He goes, yeah, just popped to Cambridge to get a haircut. I'll be back soon. Is that not the most unhinged diabolical behaviour? He travels to Cambridge for a haircut. Just so everyone's aware, the drive from Auckland to Cambridge is about two hours each way. Yes. It's a four hour round trip for the haircut.

Correct. And I said, why would you do that? And he said, it's way cheaper. No, it's not. It costs you half a tank of gas. That's what I said. So cheaper, not better. I think it's the same, but way, it's like half the price. I'm gonna say this, and I mean it.

His haircut's not that good. It's not a four hour round trip haircut. You know? I think it's about the price. And I said a four hour round trip haircut. You know? I think it's about the price. And I said, well, it doesn't make sense though, because you're spending all that money in petrol. If it's about the price, just go to the sharing shed at the mall.

No, but I think they do a good job. They do like a similar job. Oh, to an expensive haircut. Because he gets like, yeah. What? I think he gets like a color and a haircut. Are you justifying? Sorry.

What? What's going on out there? I was just gonna say, men's haircuts aren't that expensive in the first place. What he's telling me is he cut color, about 300 bucks, in Cambridge, about 130. Oh, is he getting color done? Is he getting color through it? Yeah, some highlights. I was getting color done. I was getting color through it.

Yeah, some highlights. Why are you defending it? I'm not defending it, I'm just giving you the information. I'm the one that- I think it's cooked. I'm the one that has brought the story because I know that it's cooked. Four hours, round trip to get a haircut,

plus probably an hour and a half, two hours in the chair if you're gonna get dyed as well. It is absolutely wild. I thought I was crazy because I travel quite far to go see my doctor, my GP, which I don't go all that often, but I will say I have the best GP in the whole world. I love her. She's amazing, she cares, She's thorough. But she lives on the other side of the city to me. Like she lives ages away from my house. But I will travel. How long do you reckon the drive is? 45? Yeah, at least. About 45 minutes. Yeah, so it's an hour and a half round trip. Is your GP so good that you would drive to Cambridge to see her? Probably not. But like I would drive an hour each way. So what's the cutoff?

Hamilton? Would you go to Hamilton? Hour and a half? Probably. Like she's that good. I've never had a GP that's better than the one I have now. Like do you guys travel a long distance to get anything? Producer Ella put her head straight up. Out of my way not to. I'm in this dilemma right now. I go to the best nail lady ever because it's her like solo business. She's trying to collect her clients. I've been dedicated for ages,

but it is a bit of a drive, not as far as Cambridge, but I'm on the shore and it's all the way in Ellerslie. And it's like traffic. It's not easy. So how far do you reckon? Half an hour, 35 minutes.

And I hate driving. That's just normal amount of time. No it's not. That's how long it takes me to get to work. I hate it. Oh it takes me at least 15 minutes each way. It's not that far. But I understand what you're saying.

You could find a nail lady closer. Okay what about this? My doctor is in Manawira. Where? Manawira? Manawira. South Auckland. Yes.

So how far is that, you reckon? Could be an hour, 50 minutes. Yeah, that's better. Okay, that's more like it. That's more like it. Come on, there'll be some bigger ones. This is just Aucklanders dealing with Auckland traffic. We wanna hear the unhinged ones,

like the people who are driving to the Waikato to get their hair cut, like Bree's friend Dan. Yeah, it's outrageous. How far did you travel and what for? Yeah. That's the question we're asking this afternoon. There's texts coming through already. Someone said, we drove, no, it says we drive,

which means that they do it more than just once. We drive from Christchurch to Queenstown just for a Ferg burger. No. That's so. It's not that good. Crazy. It's not that good.

My sister and her husband drive from Pukekohe to Tauranga for a haircut and colour. They stay with friends overnight and come home the next day for a haircut and colour. They stay with friends overnight and come home the next day for a haircut. Yeah, that's wild. I drive from Rotorua to Tauranga to get my laser done. Okay, keep these coming in, all right? Yeah.

0800 DALSADEM, text to 9696. And it can be for anything. Dan Ames, Bri and Clint podcast. Talking about how far you travel for something. My friend Dan, talked to him this morning. He lives in Auckland. I said, what are you up to? He said, oh, I'm in Cambridge. Just getting my hair cut. We'll be back this afternoon. I said, you just went to Cambridge to get your hair cut? He goes, yeah, it's cheaper here.

It's a two hour drive. It's a four hour round trip. So we asked how far are you travelling for your thing? There are so many people going crazy distances for their haircut. A lot of haircut ones, yeah. I used to do Christchurch to Dunedin for a haircut. Someone texted and said when I lived in Sydney,

I would fly back to New Zealand and go to Tauranga to get my hair done. Half a head of toner, treatment, et cetera, best hairdresser ever. Yeah, but that's, that's, mm. I do get it though, especially for the girls, like when you find a hairdresser that you really connect with, cause it's even, it's more about the whole experience

when you trust someone and you build up that rapport. This is my favourite hair one though. They said, I used to live in Haast in South Westland out of necessity I would travel to Wanaka and Queenstown for my haircut and Brazilian etc. I could have gone to the local hairdresser in Haast a 70 year old man called Bob but he was also the local truck driver for taking dead deer carcasses to Christchurch each week shot by the helicopter company so he wasn't coming anywhere near my beautiful hair. Yeah I totally see what you're saying. Let alone you're Brazilian. Yeah I don't think I'd want um... Bob. Bob anywhere near me downstairs. Bob's Brazilians. Yeah. I'd be like

you step back Bob. Let's talk to Anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Hello. This is your father-in-law going a crazy distance for something. It is my father-in-law. So back in probably more mid early 2000s. Yeah. Okay. And he was living in Howick at the time and petrol prices were nowhere near what they are today, but expensive enough for him apparently, and he would drive to Thames to fill up his car every week. Wait. Howick's in East Auckland, Tim's is in...

Is ages away, like ages. It's in the Coromandel. Wouldn't he use the petrol coming back to Howick that he would have, you know what I mean? I've googled it, it's now a 35 drive and it's 105 kilometres each way. So he would have used 200 kilometers Which is about half a tank of gas. It's wild. It's Absolutely unhinged Possibly I reckon he just wanted to get away from his wife. Was it free? Yeah, this is why I go anonymous. I can't say I think that was smart from you to be honest. I just wanted to get out of the house. Yeah.

Let's talk to Laura. Hi Laura. Hi Laura. Hello. Tell us mate, what was the thing that you travelled ages for? So I really liked tattoos and I went from Dargaville to Auckland for one and then most recently I went from Whangarei to Napier for a set. Can I say I support you on this? Because that's something that's on your body forever.

Yeah, I kind of get this one. I don't have any tattoos, but that's your body art. Yeah. Don't let anyone tell you that you shouldn't travel to where you want to go to get the tattoo you want. There's not a mean local tattoo artist in Dargaville that could ink you up. I mean, I have one from Dargaville.

It's probably my worst nightmare. Oh Laura. Enough said. I drive from Hamilton to the North Shore of Auckland to see the dentist because it's free. Oh yeah, I can understand that. Yeah that makes sense, someone said, I used to drive from Pahmi to Whanganui

for a protein cream flavoured Frosty Boy thick shake. Apparently they now sell them in all of the night and days though. Oh yeah. Life saver. Matt's here, g'day Matt. Hi Matt. Hello hello. Tell us mate. First time caller, long time listener. Wait. There he is. We finally reeled him in. Have you traveled a long way to make this phone call, Matt? I've traveled some crazy distances for some crazy things before, so I love this topic. Go on, hit us.

Yeah, tell us. So the craziest things I've done is traveled to Japan and traveled to Germany for the one sole reason of to buy a custom knife. Wow. I thought you were gonna say you went to Japan to get one of those egg salad sandwiches because I wanna do that. No, some people know you have to undoubtedly believe this.

Japanese and German, when they do their knives, know what they're doing. That's the best. So they wouldn't ship the knife to you, Matt? It's called the post office. Well, in Germany specifically, I had two custom made and in Japan, I had one custom made. And getting custom orders is not possible.

Wait, so you can't get your custom knife sent in the post? You have to physically go to them, you have to go to the small little village. Do you put those knives in the dishwasher Matt? Absolutely not. Thank you. Do you even use the knives? I'm a full time chef so they are a proud position.

Well right that offers a working expense. That's tax deductible. Thanks Matt. Someone said I fly from Wellington to Auckland to see a dentist. I get $50 flights It saved me $4,000 on alignments so far. Wow. That makes sense. That makes sense Someone said I drive three and a bit hours to see my psychiatrist Like I probably would too if you find a good one that you connect with. But doesn't it depend how often you need to go?

It that definitely would depend on that. I can understand that monthly but if you see them every week. Can you not zoom? Can you not do a zoom? Yeah you can zoom. I drive 50 minutes to play and train netball because my club is Dub Om and I could never leave them. That is commitment. I drive from Rotorua to Tauranga just to get my laser done. Oh yeah but yeah. That's a fair hike. 40, 45, 50 minutes. Then you have to sit all the way back to Rotorua with your fire crotch. Yeah yeah well I'm from Rotorua and I mean if I had to get my bits lasered I'd probably leave there as well. Surely there's places in Rotorua that laser laser your bits. Yeah there would be. Surely. It's like the Dagerville situation or the Haast situation there's always someone around who will do it.

Just depends if you want someone shooting lasers downstairs if you don't fully trust them. Also small towns I think. Maybe you don't want the same person you're going to see later on lasering your bits. I don't know. Mate, I gave up caring about that kind of stuff years ago. Yeah, actually can you put it away? Yeah, probably a bit bit inappropriate at work. ZM Franklin. We were talking to Matt before who flew to Japan to get himself a custom knife. Yes

because he's a chef. He's a chef. Someone texted and said is Matt single a ZM listener and full-time chef who can afford to go to Japan to get a knife? Yes please. I was thinking the same thing what a catch. Yeah right well we don't know we didn't ask if he was single. If you're still listening Matt can you text us on 9696? Yeah and do you want us to share your details? Do you want us to put you guys in touch? With this other person that definitely wants your details.

Oh, they could. It's from 2011 and I mean. That was it. I don't think they have another hit. From memory? No, they don't have another hit. Like off the top of my head. I can't think of.

They've got other songs, they don't have another hit. They're off the top of my head. I can't think of... They've got other songs, they don't have other hits. Put it on the list. Yeah, I think it's on the list. ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. It is time to launch a new game for the Bri and Clint show. We got an opener. Alan, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen. Is he saying Ellen or Ellen? Wait, what did you say? Ellen or Ellen?

You say Ellen. Brie and Clint, Ellen or Ellen. What did she say? Ellen. Are you saying Ellen or Ellen? I'm saying Ellen. Ellen? Yeah, Ellen.

Ellen. Yeah, the woman's name, Ellen. Right. So this game is pretty simple. Do you think I was saying Ellen? I actually don't know what you're saying. Ellen. As in Alan the man?

Yeah, Alan the man. Okay. Or Ellen, like the TV show. It sounds the same to me. Ellen. And this is exactly how this game has been born. For years, I have said, the one thing I can't understand when it comes to the Kiwi accent is how Alan, the man, sounds exactly the same as the woman's name, Ellen.

Oh, whoa, how did you make them sound so different? So the game is simple. Ellen. People with a Kiwi accent call. Yeah. The producers have asked them ahead of time if they're gonna say either Alan or Ellen and then you and I have to guess which one it is. Ryan's gonna give it a go. Hi Ryan. Hi Ryan. Alright, g'day mate. How's it going? Oh, that's a New Zealand accent, I've never heard one. Oh, well we certainly try, that's for sure. Ryan, when you're ready, pick your poison and either say Alan or Ellen.

Alright, alright, well we're going to go with Alan. Can I hear it again? Can I hear it again? I don't know! It sounds the same to me. Don't worry, we're going again. We're going with Ellen. Ellen. Brie, I think I know, but then maybe us Kiwis can understand each other better.

Why don't you go first? I reckon it's the woman Ellen. I think that was the man Ellen. Are we split on this, are we? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ryan, were you saying Ellen or Ellen? Well, we weren't saying Ellen, that's for sure. We were saying Ellen. Yeah, Ellen, the man's name, Ellen.

Yeah, yeah, indeed. Obviously. I like how at the end he was like, obviously, I wasn't saying Ellen, I was saying Ellen. I'm like, what were you saying? Thank you, Ryan. You'll get it eventually, you just gotta tune your ear, Bree.

Maybe you gotta listen. I've been here for eight years, this is the only thing that I struggle with. Telly's here, hi Telly. Hi Telly. Hi, how's it going? Good, thank you. When you're ready, Telly, either say Ellen or Ellen.

Awesome, I'm gonna say Ellen. Now can you do you want to hear it again? Because again, I think I've got it. I think I've got it. Do you want to hear it again? Yeah. Awesome. Ellen. Ellen. Ellen. Ellen.

I have no idea. Like I'm being so genuine. Like I'm not trying to take the piss. We need to place our bets, but I want Bre to have the first opportunity. Okay, I reckon Ellen the woman. I think Telly said Ellen the man's name. Ellen. Telly?

Ellen the woman. It was Alan McGill. Oh. Oh. See, it's not just me. Ella, can you give us... Nice, Tilly. You tricked Clint. Ella, can you give us one?

Okay. I'm going with Alan. I think she's been hanging around me too long. That's the man, Alan. No. Okay, um, I'm going with Ellen. Oh, I think she's been hanging around me too long. That's the man, Ellen. No. That was the woman, Ellen. That was the woman. Yeah, yeah.

Claudia, can you give us a... You didn't know? No, I did know. You didn't know? I did know. I tell you how I knew. She pulled the sides of her mouth out a little bit further. She went, Ellen.

Yeah, yeah, you did, eh? Ellen. Ellen. I thought she was trying too hard there. No, but you can't, like, you just need to say it how you normally say it. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Ellen Degeneres. Ellen Degeneres.

That sounds so much like Ellen. Claudia, Claudia, okay. I'll round us off with Ellen. Yeah, I got it. Wait, say again. Ellen. Yeah, woman. Woman.

Woman. You didn't even live breathe in a room. You didn't even know Bri get it wrong. You didn't even know I'd do it. Ellen. Ellen. Ellen. No. versus Ellen.

Ellen. Do you, like. Ellen. I have, you are the worst out of everyone. Ellen. Like when you do it, I've got no clue. Ladies, Ellen. Boy.

Oh yeah, boy. Boy, yeah, boy. Yeah, but Nessie, now you're over-'re over enunciating. Can you do it again Bree? Alan or Ellen? Girl obviously. How do you do that? How do you do that? I'm not the one that does it! Ellen. Is that how you do it? Ellen. Alan or Ellen? You know who we should get to play next week. Who? Ellen. You know who we should get to play next week? Who? Ellen. Hey, I want the thickest accents.

If that is you and you're listening to this, next week when we play again, we want you to play because that's like extreme hard level. The ZM Podcast Network. Here's a question. Are they old or just a bad texter? Ooh. This is the question a young Gen Z-er is asking the internet after she went on a date. And this is her words, an old person.

A Gen Z-er, oh, what does a Gen Z-er consider an old person? So she's a Gen Z, she's gone out on a date with a 35 year old. Oh an old person. And she's saying is he a bad texter or is he just old? Uh-huh. So let's weigh in on this. So they've gone out for a first date, she said that she felt like the date was really good. Yeah. She enjoyed herself. She thinks it went well. She'd like to see him again. Okay, sure. The next day, he has hit her with this particular text.

Um, hey, comma, had fun last night, full stop. Have a good day, full stop. That's it. And what is our Gen Z reading into that? Are they worried that this person doesn't like them? Well, she's asking, are they just a crappy texter or are they old? Well, she knows how old they are.

So are they a crappy texter? No, as in like, is this person actually interested or are they just old and they're bad at texting? Oh, okay, now I understand what you're saying. Yes. Yeah, I think that person is interested, but they're not great at texting. Not a great. Like, oh, it's hard.

I feel like dating's so hard because you don't want someone to be super keen-o-bean-o either. No. But also, it was just a first date. And they've probably been on more dates than you, so it's probably a bit like, oh yeah it was just a first date and they've probably been on more dates than you so it's probably a bit like oh yeah that was a good date. I think it's maybe all like the full stops in there. Yeah yeah. Like the real hard full stops. And the lack of emojis. You know what you know what would actually make that text way way better? An exclamation mark. An X at the end. Oh yeah. A simple one little X at the end that shows that you're interested. Yeah it gives tone doesn't it?

It's 100%. Ellie you're a gen Z. If you went on a date with Brie, because she's the same age as that old person, and she texts you that. You're older than Brie. Yeah I know. Thank you for pointing that out. No, but this is a direct correlation. Couple years actually. This is a direct. Okay, you went on a date with me, is that better? When's your 40th?

Next year? God, you are in a mood today. Sorry. Sorry. That's right, we don't have anyone on the show anyway. Um, I think that. I think she's answered your question. Yeah, she's you.

How would you respond to that if you got that after a date, Ella? I'll speak up. You've actually turned to Michael. Speak up if you've got something to say. You had plenty to say before. You had plenty to say before. Hello. Hi.

I have empathy. Cool. Brian Clint, let me back up to this.
