It's ZM's Brie and Clint No, just one of those moments. Where am I? I'm drunk. No. We're good. We're good, New Zealand. We're good and we're here to do a good show for you today, including some more Venute updates. If you missed yesterday, whether it passed a war on the fitness or not,

look, we're going to replay that call for you before 4 o'clock this afternoon because James at Streetwise Automotive, he has worked absolute magic with this thing. Pretty much the whole road trip ends on this decision. You know? It's fairly, well, the whole road trip, if we want to do it legally, depends on this. Well, don't say that. Which we do.

Which we definitely do. We 100% do. It's the only way to do things. Next on the show, though, yesterday I put up a picture of my baby on our Instagram account. I don't have one yet. Lucy's still pregnant but the 26 week scan.

Yes, you put the picture up on our socials and I said straight away it looked like a boy to me. You think it's a boy. We're not finding out. We're keeping it a surprise but the debate has been raging in the comment section because it's quite a clear picture of the face of the baby. In fact, go and have a look if you want and next we're going to bring the uh people's decision

as to whether i'm having a boy or a girl plus believe it or not a online fight can even break out in the comment section of a baby scan because that's the world we live in these days talk about it next here's ellie golding zm. Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM. I am having a baby. I love that sound effect, by the way. This is the second day I've been using that one. You wait till you actually get the baby and you won't like it. We're simulating birth with that sound.

That's the sound of it coming down the tunnel. That's right. Can you do it again? Can you do a birth? No. Pretend you're right at the moment. No. Like it's right at go time.

No. Go on. I don't know what that would feel like. You did a good one. You did a good one. You did it good. Go on. Really?

I don't have the energy. The baby's right there, Miss Thomaselle. One more push and we'll have your baby. No! Congratulations. It's garlic bread I put up a picture of mine and Lucy's baby Because we had our 26 week scan yesterday And god, it is like

It's a 3D picture of your unborn child Yeah, the technology is incredible these days Just floating in goo inside the stomach It just used to be like a blurry kind of image child yeah the technology is incredible these days just floating in goo inside the stomach just used to be like a kind of like a blurry kind of image and now it's like full 3d mode yeah like you can see nostrils lips eye sockets everything like that you can even see the umbilical cord down there yeah at least i think that's the umbilical cord anyway um and we're not finding out what we're having we're keeping it a surprise until the day. By that picture, though, I straight away said,

that looks like a boy to me. Do you still think boy? Yeah, I still think boy. We put it out to New Zealand because, again, we're not going to find out, but it doesn't mean you can't place your bets. 2,500 people voted on this. Yep. And according to Instagram, I'm having...

Yeah, boy. It's going to be a boy. 57% of people say boy. Oh, so that's pretty even. Well, yeah, about 1,000 votes, 1,100 votes say girl, and just about 1,400 say boy. That's pretty even to me. Do you have any good boys' names for me?

I don't mind. No, I'm not going to do that because I don't want to ruin any names for you. No, because I've got a couple in my mind. Well, I want to hear what you're going to think. Hell no! What you're going to think. Hell no, I'm not putting any of the name ideas out there. Why not?

Because you can't. Because someone will say, someone will take your baby's name before you use it, which is a thing that happens. Or they'll change the way you think about it. They'll go, oh, you can't call it Gareth because my uncle was called Gareth. He went to prison. He went to prison for a lot of bad things.

Do you have a better girl's name or a better boy's name? I believe we've got a better boy's name. Right. See, I've got a better girl's name. Because Lucy and I can't agree on the girl's name. What? You've agreed on a boy's name? No.

No. No? No. But there's a couple of good options don't leave me down this path because i can't give you anything but i would like good suggestions if you've got them on the text machine how are you going to come to a conclusion on this if you can't decide if you guys can't agree call us hippies yeah but we're going to meet the baby well that's what a lot of people say and like try names on it and try and get a feel for it you know just like say just say the names on it and try and get a feel for it you know just like say just say the name to it and see how it feels yeah and then also sage the baby while you're at it hang some crystals on that yeah uh just quickly i said a fight went down

in the comments it wasn't too bad but i did have to moderate it slightly i said what do you think we're having boy or girl and someone wrote in oh my God, you cannot assume the gender of this baby. I saw that comment, but she later commented that she was joking. But people started going at her like, oh, get your PC bullcrap out of here. She was joking. I do understand what you're saying there, but she was joking. And yeah, we're all good, New Zealand. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. We both read this story the other day about this woman, which she apparently is one of two women in the whole world

who has a rare mutation. Yeah, this specific mutation. This specific one. There's only two people that doctors know about that have this thing. Yeah. Yeah, so this woman has come out with her story, and they've been talking about it over in Scotland, about how she can't feel pain.

Yeah, and she can't feel any pain. Like she's had babies, no pain. No pain. She's had wrist surgeries, no pain. Yeah. She's like Deadpool, except I assume she can die. Or Wolverine. Oh no, he can feel it but he regenerates, right?

He's just fine with it. Or like Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z. Yes! Oh no, he feels it as well. He just regenerates. Yeah. Like we said, she's one of only two people in the world. The other one might be Deadpool. It's like a superpower. This is her talking about it. Do you want to hear that? Yeah. I felt things.

I felt my body stretching. I felt peculiar feelings. But nothing's made me, no pain. Researchers at London's University College think they know why. They found a mutation, in fact, a bit missing from one of her genes that affected Jo's body chemistry. So she simply doesn't feel what the rest of us call pain so you want to know is it a superpower because that's what i've been trying to figure out too would you like that

i don't think it is a superpower because you need pain to tell you when something's wrong yeah it's kind of dangerous isn't it like imagine you're cooking dinner and you leave the element on and then uh you your phone rings. You pick up your phone, take a phone call. And then you lean on the hot stove. How do you know that your hand is on an element if you don't have pain? Does she feel heat? Like, what does she?

Yeah, what does she feel? Imagine if she, like, broke her arm and the bone came out of her skin. She was like, oh, look at that. See, that bit is a superpower. But at the same time, you need the bits of pain to tell you, hey, man, go to the doctor. Yeah, because then you're going to hurt yourself more. Yeah.

The other bit is, she said, I read more of it, she doesn't feel anxiety. So she's got reduced emotional pain senses as well. So that bit, possibly a superpower, but also has the possibility to make you into this like unfeeling drone where... Yeah, like a robot. She's a robot.

She's a robot. She's a cyborg. Maybe she... Okay, you're being routine now. Okay, I'm probably going a bit too far. Would you want it though? Do you think it's a superpower? No, I don't think so.

I think pain teaches you different things. But you can't help but go past the fact that she'd make a great rugby player. Oh, she would be incredible. For one or two games until she ran herself to death, she would be outstanding. Yeah, there you go. One of only two people in the world who has that. Next on the show, Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent live from Hollywood. He's going to tell us whether Ariana Grande

has just come out as bisexual or not. Ooh, now you're listening. Ooh, I'm in. We know you're in. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Time to go to Hollywood. Actually, we're going to Vegas today. He's in Vegas. Yes. He's our celebrity correspondent Dean McCarthy. Let's do it. Live

from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz. Hey, Dean, you're in Vegas. Have you hit the slots yet? Oh, look, I've never even put down a dollar on those machines. I feel like the people sitting there just look so sad. Right, I was going to say, have you gambled as well? No.

Hey, head us with some... Got him! Let's talk 50 Cent, Dean. He sold his house and it's all gone to charity, yeah? It has gone to charity. Here's the thing. He first listed the house for $18 million, 25 bedrooms,

its own casino, nine kitchens. Absolutely ridiculous. He was originally selling it for $18 million, only got $3 million because it was such an obnoxiously big, ridiculous house.

Anyway, he donated all $3 million to charity, a charity that he set up. Don't go there. It's not like a dodgy thing. It's a real genuine charity and it's to help people that are from impoverished areas. So pretty cool for 50 Cent to be donating money away. $3 million.

That is good. It sounds like the house sold way below is worth nine kitchens, and you only get $3 million. He should have given the house to the impoverished communities and said, hey, your whole community should come and live in this house. I've got nine kitchens. That's crazy. Who the hell needs nine kitchens? That is ridiculous.

Hey, Dean, also Ariana Grande, what's the rumor about her at the moment? Here's the rumor, right? So, okay, she's done a new song with Victoria Monáe called Monopoly. And in the song, she sings this. She sings, I like women and men. I like women and men. I've actually got a little bit of it here. You can hear the song in the background. I really

like it, by the way. This year I've become a huge Ariana convert. Couldn't stand her and now absolutely love everything she's putting out. This is the line that you're talking about, Dean, here. Listen carefully, guys. And that's it. Puts it straight out there.

Interesting. Yeah. Look, she sings it better than I do. I'm just thinking back to a minute ago when I was trying to reenact. But look, does she really want women and men? It's just a song. She didn't write it. But you've got to think of this, though.

She knows that when she sings those type of lyrics, everyone's going to be talking about it. We're all tuning in. I think it could just be a reason to push the track. Like, I'd never heard of the song until today when it made the headlines because of this. Can you guys hear that? What?

What? It's the lesbian and bisexual community rejoicing. That's what it is. No. Well, yes, but can I ask you two as members of the rainbow community, if she's not actually

bisexual, if she's not interested in women and men, does it piss you off that she's just doing this lyric for attention? Yeah, it does. Like, if she's just going,

I like women and men just so she can get some publicity out of it. Does that annoy you? It's a bit shit. But, but let's be positive. Maybe it's true.

Yeah, you just need to challenge her to prove it, right? I won't get offended if you hook up with me right now, Ariana Grande. Okay, that's Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent in Vegas. This week's buy is bought you by Bonds Intimately. You can text

Bonds to 9696 to win a $250 Bonds Intimately. You can text BONDS to 9696 to win a $250 Bonds prize pack. What's going on with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at the moment? I don't know. I keep seeing those stories that her and William are fighting. Yeah, like are they breaking away from the palace? Is that what they're doing? They've set up their own house.

Yes, they have. Right. I don't really know how the royal family works, but they've set up their own thing kensington house or something like that yeah because i think they want to do their own stuff and they want to because eventually william's going to be king and right he'll forever i mean will he be in his brother's shadow kind of so i think they want to break away now do their own yeah. Because he does heaps of charity stuff. He's big on Invictus Games, which is the, he set that up, the Olympics for returned servicemen who have disabilities. Yes.

It's interesting to see, though, because obviously Meghan Markle didn't grow up royal and she's been kind of thrown into this life that he's always known. Prince Harry's always been like that. She had pretty good stepping stone, though, like Hollywood. Yeah, I know, but Hollywood's good stepping stone though like Hollywood. Yeah I know but Hollywood's very different to being a royal. Like Hollywood you can still have an Instagram

a Facebook and all that and we know. You can upload your sex tape if you want. Well yeah you can. We know that Meghan Markle had to get rid of her Instagram and you and I always talk about how She definitely didn't. How bored she would be. Like I reckon well she probably had to in the end but at first she would have tried just hiding it.

Because not for posting reasons, you just want to see what's happening on the ground. Yeah, exactly. Do you reckon they made her get rid of it, right? Yeah. Yeah. And now it's come out that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, this is official,

they've launched their own Instagram account together. Oh, actually, would you like to announce it officially? You can give out the handle. Hang on. Here you go. The Instagram handle for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is at Sussex Royal. You did that good thing where you sounded like you had a spoon or a plum in your mouth.

That's good. That's how they all talk. I looked at this this morning and it was going up in followers like crazy. The world is obviously ready for a Harry and Meghan Instagram account. Oh, yeah. They're losing their mind. So it went live this morning, I'm pretty sure. And it gained like 400,000 followers.

I checked at about 9 o'clock. It was up to 800,000. And I checked a couple of hours ago. It was at 1.4 million. It's now up around over 1.5 million followers. And what sort of hot fire content are they posting? Are we getting bikini pictures from Megan? Are we getting workout videos from Harry? Are we

getting meal prep ideas? They're following 23 people. Do you want to know who they're following? Yeah, I do. I haven't looked at this yet. Because the Queen set one up the other week. It's called Windsor House or something like that. Did she? Yeah. Did you miss that? No, I must

have missed that. She doesn't do selfies. I'm just going to warn you. Oh, well, that's disappointing. All right. So Megan and Harry, their official Instagram, they're so far following Princess Eugenie, which is their cousin or Harry's cousin. Yeah.

A lot of like charity stuff. Boring. I don't think they're actually following anyone else. No. Oh, no. Claren't think they're actually following anyone else. No. Oh, no. Clarence House? Yeah. That must be...

I think that might be the Queen's one. No, I think that's the dad. Oh, okay. I think that's... What's the dad's name again? The dad of who? Harry. Prince Charles?

Prince Charles. Yeah, that guy. And then Kensington Royal. That's the Queen. That's the Queen. Yeah, there you go. Okay, cool. Hey, good Royal Instagram updates.

I'm just going to slide into their DMs. Yeah, cool. Just a bit of a nude shot for Harry and Meghan. There we go. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. In 2019, unfortunately, something that we have to deal with a lot more is online scams Oh yeah

They're getting more and more elaborate, aren't they? Yeah, and phone ones as well Phone ones still as well, but the online ones just What about where they create a fake Netflix email And they'll send it to your email like it's from Netflix, and you put all your details into it. Worse than that one, I think, is the scumbags who are setting up fake give-a-little pages and using things like the Christchurch mosque attacks.

So it looks exactly like the real thing, but just in a tiny piece of the URL is wrong, and you're depositing money into a scammer's account. That you are- Scum. You are scum, if that's what you are doing. Absolute scum. So some statistics have been released about how much Kiwis are getting scammed. Yeah.

In money amount. Yeah. Okay. In the last couple of years. It's interesting to see the difference from 2017 to 2018. Has it gone up? It's crazy. Because I would hope that people are getting more wise to these things, but maybe not.

Well, you'd think so. So there's an online safety organization that says 13,000 instances of fraud and online scams were reported last year. In 2017, only 8,000 were reported. So it's going up quite drastically. Kiwis in 2017 lost approximately $10 million to scams. Not good. Which is a lot.

Yeah. Last year, just a year later, Kiwis lost $33 million to scams. Yeah. You said you read somewhere that. Yeah, this is the thing. Because some of them you hear and you go, how the hell did you fall for that kind of thing? But they are getting more and more sophisticated. And this is why.

This is what I heard today. One New Zealander in the last 12 months was scammed out of $5 million. So they thought it was like an investment thing and so they they got the portfolio these scams are real like real sophisticated

super elaborate so they have these websites that look legit and they go here's the investment portfolio you'll get X amount of returns we'll send you what's called a prospectus

which is like a book and you get the book and it's all glossy and it looks legit and they're getting really really good and the reason they're getting so good at it is if they get five million dollars out of you that's five million dollars profit they haven't had to do anything else except tell a lie so then they have that money to reinvest into marketing campaigns to make the

scams look even more and more legit it's a vicious cycle man yeah it's it really annoys me also you know how you used to get scammed phone calls and it would say at the top that it was from some foreign country at the top of your iPhone there? Yeah. Doesn't happen anymore. They now have local phone numbers. How good is it, though, when you figure,

like, obviously, you're like, oh, this is a scam, and then you just play along with it? Oh, and try and scam the scammer. I love those circumstances. What advice can we give you? No one's going to repair your computer. I know we don't have to tell you guys this. It's not millennials who are getting scammed.

That's the dumb bit. If someone wants to log into your computer remotely, they don't work for the computer company. It's a scam. If there's an email that comes from Facebook or Netflix, it probably is a scam. If there is a typo in any email, especially in the subject heading, it probably is a scam. If there is a typo in any email, especially in the subject heading, it's probably a scam.

And I hate to break this to you, but it's highly unlikely that you have a rich uncle who's been living in Portugal that you've never heard from who has decided to leave you $5 million. And even if he has, he doesn't need you to transfer him $5,000 to secure the payment. It's just not going to happen. No, that one sounds legit. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.

How are you? Good, thanks. How are you? Good. Hey, who's on rosters at the moment, Aaliyah? I would say it's me. It's you? Can you do me a quick...

Do you know who I'm working with on Saturday? Who am I speaking with? Oh, come on, Aaliyah. Who is it? You just... What? Girl, I have no idea. You can't even have one guess.

This isn't summer. See, you knew the whole time. Is this summer? Yes. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Guess what? I've been stalking the shit out of you, girl.

Have you? You can sing like a motherfucker. Oh, thanks. Are you Jordan's sister? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I used to go to Hitch with that dude. No way.

I saw him at the Tiger Bear thing. Right, right. Yes, and it was like a hitch reunion. It was great. Totally, totally. And then you were also on my bro's page. He also posted you, Junior. Oh, that's so nice of him.

That's awesome. That's a massive compliment. Thank you. Oh my gosh, am I working with you on Saturday? Well, I thought I was working on Saturday. What shift was it? Nine to six or 12 to five? Nine to six, I'm pretty sure.

The big one. Okay, well, apparently Aaron is supposed to be working there. Well, that's kind of good because I kind of needed to get out of the shift because I've been really struggling with, oh, this is so embarrassing. I went on this weird, like, did I tell you about this weird Contiki tour that I did? No, you didn't. I went on this weird Contiki tour in Vietnam, and they made us shower in all these weird places, and I'm pretty sure I've gotten athlete's foot.

Oh, yuck. Yeah. How bad is it? It's bad. It's bad. My ex used to get really bad athlete's foot. Yeah. And I just used Melaleuca, like essential oil.

Right. I love his foot. I'm like living a couple, like two days, it's gone. Okay, I might try that. Yeah. I'm like limping around. Like, it's so disgusting. Is it like blistering?

Yeah, it's real gross. It's so bad. When did you go to Vietnam? Um, oh, not that long ago. I only went for like seven days. Holy crap. How did I? Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Message Aaron. Okay. And double check what the f*** he's up to because I did not know he was swapping his shift little shit. Right.

I'll check with him, but it's all good with you? Yeah. As long as someone can work with me because I'm not looking at myself. Yeah, girl. Okay, cool. I'll check with him. Give us a buzz back. I'll give you looking at myself. Yeah, girl. Okay, cool. I'll check with him. Give us a buzz back. I'll give you a buzz back.

Okay. Cool. Thanks, babe. Cha-cha. See you, babe. Bye. Bye. She knew more about you than you knew about you.

Yeah, that's me. That's me. I'm a good singer, apparently. Good. You get a point there. Yes. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM.

I just had a ripping sticky hotline. We just had one of the better ones we've ever done. The game is you call a place that you don't work, pretend that you work there, and get them to give you the day off. Exactly right. It's all a game of chance, really, isn't it? And how well you can bullshit.

We don't normally call them back to reveal ourselves, but I feel like the one we just did with Aaliyah from Foot Locker. We've got to call Aaliyah back and tell her that Summer doesn't have athlete's foot. Linfield Foot Locker, you're speaking with Jordan. Hi, Jordan. Is Aaliyah there? Yeah, just a second. Cool.

Thanks, babe. Hello. Hey, babe. Hi. Hey. So you're amazing, but I needed to call up. My name's Bree, and I work with a guy called Clint from a radio station, ZM. What the heck? Hi.

Mate, you are the best. You were the best sport. You knew so much about this girl, Summer. I don't know who the hell she is. Oh, my gosh, you're kidding me. You knew so much about this girl, Summer. I don't know who the hell she is. Oh, my gosh. You're kidding me. I'm so professional. So when I go off the phone with...

No, you were great. You're a great ambassador for Foot Locker. In fact, I feel like new shoes just talking to you. Me too. You were such a good sport. But I just wanted to call back and let you know that no one needs to change a shift. And Summer doesn't have athlete's foot. Oh, my gosh.

I was just about to, like, call the store and be like, summer's not happening. Oh, my gosh. That is so embarrassing. No, you're the best. That was so funny. Yeah, so we play a game on our show called Siggy Hotline where you have to call up a business where you don't work

and get the day off. And you gave me the all clear, girl. Are you going to come pick me up? I'm kidding. Thanks, Aaliyah. Thanks, Aaliyah. Awesome. Have a good day.

See you, babe. Bye. Bye. I'm sure there's a lot of Kiwis out there who will be with me on this when I say the only reason I don't have a pet, mainly a dog, is because I'm a renter. Oh, yeah, and you can't have one. That's the only reason.

I've wanted a dog for 10 years, I reckon. What about the fact that you live in an apartment building? Because I'm renting. Yeah. But if I owned my own house. Oh, I see. Oh, I see. If you had the option.

Exactly. And the reason, you know, I can't have a dog, first of all, because my landlords don't want that. And second of all, I live in an apartment. But that's the only reason I don't have a pet. It is a nightmare for people who rent if they've got

animals to find places that will take them and their animals. Oh, it's hard enough to find a place when you don't have one. Add the fact that you've got like a rottweiler or something. Exactly. There's very few houses that will let you stay there. There's a place in Auckland. There's a house listed for rent.

It's $1,300 a week. How many bedrooms? It doesn't say how many bedrooms, but the property's worth about $2 million. Okay, yeah. And it's in central Auckland. So it's a nice place. Well, just to give you some perspective if you don't live in Auckland,

that sounds about right. It's about right. Even though it's $1,300. It's probably a big house. It's probably a good deal, to be honest. Yeah, actually. It's probably like a five-bedroom house by the looks of it. They have posted on the listing that they will accommodate pets if they provide the owners a CV with the application.

A CV for themselves? For the pet. Oh. A pet CV. So when I say that, I'm like, what does that mean? So the owners of the property want to consider pets because they know how hard it is to find a rental property that takes pets as well generous yeah yeah which is really nice so they want like a letter giving as much detail about the animal they want to know it's had training they want to know how toilet

trained it is they want to know if it's got a history of damaging things they want to know the breed the temperament the name they want to know everything One of the key parts of a CV, though, is references. So does your dog have to go and meet a whole lot of people and then they have to vouch for what a good boy it is? He's a good boy. Can I get that in writing? You know? And they're like, how would I write that?

He's a good boy. Yeah, they've just got four letters that just go, who's a good boy? Oh, who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? And then with asterisks around it, scratches, rubs, scratches, rubs, scratches, rubs. I like it.

It kind of seems fair, right? I think it's great that they're even considering it, considering it's a $2 million house. I've got two cats and they've got their own Instagram account. Could I just like share you a link to their Instagram account? Is that enough? Does that work? Pretty good CV. Does that work for everybody?

Yeah. Yeah, cool. All right. Good luck good CV. Does that work for everybody? Yeah. Yeah, cool. All right. Good luck. ZDM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I reckon about a month ago now, I talked about on the show at this time a recipe that my ex used to make.

I know what this is. Yeah. And I talked about how I didn't know if I should text my ex to get the recipe, bring them back into my life. Was it worth it? All for the sake of getting the recipe for a... Vegan shepherd's pie.

There it is. I'd been craving it for weeks. I couldn't take my mind off it. I just thought, should I text my ex? You got the whole of New Zealand craving it. Even non-vegans are like, shit, I could go up a vegan shipping supply. That sounds delicious. I talked it up a lot.

Yeah. And it is a ripping recipe. I decided, here's the update for you. Yeah. I decided not to text my ex to get the recipe. Which I still think is the right idea. Yeah. Yeah.

And which a lot of people said that I should. A lot of people were like, text your ex. But a lot of people weren't I should A lot of people were like text direct But a lot of people weren't that close to the breakup Yeah true And I know From being there with you while it happened It wasn't worth it Well just some distance between you two is a good thing

I'm not saying you'll never talk to them ever again But I just don't think you ripped the bandaid off just yet Yeah Yeah Something happened Yesterday Yeah That I need to share with you and i could not believe

that this has happened to me okay so yesterday i was in my apartment and i was throwing out some stuff i was getting rid of stuff i was doing a big cleanup and there's this one bookshelf in our apartment that i was cleaning books and stuff because I don't own books and I was getting rid of stuff. And I came across this one book that I've bought into studio. And it was this book here. Oh, that looks like a magic book. Doesn't it? It looks like a book of spells.

This is a journal book that I gave to my ex as a present. Oh, yeah. Okay. And I thought, oh, no. I don't even want to look in that. I'm just going to throw it out. But you secretly do want to look. And secretly I was like,

okay, I'm going to look. Yeah. I opened this book and can you tell everyone, Clint, what is the first thing you see? That to the untrained eye looks like the handwritten recipe with a diagram of how to produce a vegan shepherd's pie. That's exactly what it is!

The universe has provided you with an absolute ripper. Can I see this journal? I'm not going to read her journal or anything. No, there's nothing in there. Guess what else is in there? Yeah. All of the recipes. She's just using it as a recipe book. There is so many recipes in there. Guess what else is in there? Yeah. All of the recipes. She's just using it as a recipe book.

There's so many recipes in there. I'm looking through now. There's an orange kumara stuffed with zesty guac salsa. This sounds delicious. There's Buddha bowls. Oh, there's even a recipe for a basic bitch lunch salad. And basic bitch lunch salad number two. There's lentil dal recipe in there.

That is incredible. Chickpea burgers, cashew basil dressing because of course being a vegan can be a very taxing lifestyle for you and the people who have to encounter you every day. But if you're like this person

who I know your ex was, when you put real effort into it, it can be more delicious than a real diet. Incredible food. You have to post the recipe. I'm posting it. You have to post the recipe

on our social media. I'm going to post the recipe. I'm posting it. You have to post the recipe on our social media. I'm going to post the recipe on our Facebook or our Instagram. Or if you want it right now, you can text us on 9696. I'll be dishing out those recipes. I can't believe. Are you going to text the recipe to people? Yeah, I'll just copy and paste it to people. If you want it right now, the recipe for the vegan shepherd's pie that I so badly wanted I was going to text my ex,

you can text us right now on 9696. I'm going to give it to you. That is good news. Such good news. That really was good news. What are the odds? ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I bought a van.

No, you bought a what? A van slash ute. Yeah! We bought a vanute! The vanute is coming and everybody's charming. It doesn't have a warrant and it is full of rust. Technically, we need to update that. We do.

It does have a warrant and it's only half full of rust now. It's full of a whole lot less rust than it was. And it's road legal, which means this road trip is on. We're on, baby. We have been seriously helped out by one man called James road trip is on. We're on, baby. We have been seriously helped out by one man called James at Streetwise Automotive in Newlyn, Auckland. He's taken the Venute over. He's the doctor.

To find a way to pay him back, we came up with a crafty idea. Let's crowdsource some funds. Exactly. A piece of the Venute was cut out of the chassis because it was full of rust. Well, no. You need to say it was cut out of the shell. The shell, I rust. Well, no. Can you need to say it was cut out of the shell? The shell, I mean. The chassis makes it sound a lot worse. Yeah, it was cut out of like the skirt, the side skirt.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just, you know, one of those bits you don't need. One of those bits you can just cut off and you're good to go. You don't need that. We threw it up on Trade Me and people started bidding on it. It went crazy. People thought it was for the Venute, surely.

Well, this is the issue and this is what we need to check today. Currently, the top bid for it was for the Venute, surely. Well, this is the issue, and this is what we need to check today. Currently, the top bid for a piece of the Venute, that's the name of the auction, you can go and check it yourself, a piece of the Venute is $500, and that bid belongs to Matt. Good afternoon. Hello, Matt. Good afternoon. How are you going, guys? Good, thank you. Matt, what the hell are you doing?

Oh, I just thought I'd help out someone that needs some, you know, some money to get their new on the road. I'm just checking your Trade Me profile at the moment and you can confirm that you are Holden PV81? Yes, I am. Your profile picture is a picture of a Holden Sandman? Yes, that's correct. I love that car.

And you know that you have offered $500 for a piece of rust. That's correct. Yes, that's correct. All right. Well, that's fine. Can I ask why? What's motivated you to get on board

and buy this piece of memorabilia specifically? I'd like to see the van out back on the road and road legal. Oh, you're a legend see the van out back on the road. And road legal. Oh, you're a legend. Do we have anything for Matt? Yeah, we've got a big piece of rust for him. Are you in Dunedin, are you, Matt? Yes, I am.

Oh, that's such a... Because we're going to do a North Island roadie. How good would it be if we could go and pull the vanute up at Matt's place? We could deliver it to him. Yeah, but that's not on the cards at the moment. Just so you know, this auction's got a few more days to him. Yeah, but that's not on the cards at the moment. Just so you know, this auction's got a few more days to go. If it closes at that price, all the money is going to James

at Streetwise, the guy who's been working on the van non-stop, the Venute, sorry. You're happy for that? You're happy to pay that amount of money? Yes, I am. What a guy! Honestly, what a legend. We're here to say thank you, but we're also here to say, go and outbid Matt.

Go and spend more. We want more than $500. We're getting greedy. We want more than $500 for this piece of rust now. Let's put it up. We want to put LED lights underneath the Venute. We want to put it on airbags. We want to get this thing on hydraulics bouncing down the North Island.

Nah, just kidding. Matt, you're a legend, and we really appreciate your support. Thanks, Matt. No, that's all good. Thank you, guys. ZM Spree and Clint, just kidding. Matt, you're a legend and we really appreciate your support. Thanks, Matt. Nah, that's all good. Thank you, guys. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. It's my birthday. It's my birthday.

CDM's Brie and Clint, the podcast. Oh, I've got some breaking fast food news. That one's normally reserved for announcements to do with the royal family, but I feel like fast food's good. And the story involves a king, so it kind of is royal. Burger King have announced that at select stores, not here and not here yet, but in the United States, they will be trialling a different kind of Whopper. I did read about this. They're calling it, is it the ultimate?

No, it's not the ultimate. Before you reveal what it is, I want to bring on our resident meat expert. His name is Producer Ben. Producer Ben, good afternoon. Good afternoon. What have you had to eat so far today? Nothing.

Nothing? I had a banana this morning. That is not like you. And then I had a Mountain Dew. And then I found some Cheerios in the fridge that I had. There you go. Why would you go past? He had a Mountain Dew at 9. I found some Cheerios in the fridge that I had. Wait, why would you go past? He had a Mountain Dew at 9.30 in the morning. I picked him up to bring to work.

I was doing stuff around the house, and I needed some sugar. I just thought you might have had a steak for breakfast, because that's how I know you. I wish, but I've got to wait for tonight, unfortunately. What are you having for dinner? Steak. There you go. He's the kind of person, and a lot of people are like this, and that's fine.

He's very opposed to a meal that doesn't have meat in it. Is that fair to say? Yeah, that is correct. Well, Burger King have announced a new Whopper. It's called the Impossible Whopper, and they've replaced the meat patty, the all-beef patty, with a plant-based patty. And I just want to know from you, Producer Ben. Oh, no.

Producer Ellie's laughing already. How does that make you feel? I don't get it. What are they doing with it? So it's just a kind of, where'd the meat come from? It's a patty. It's a patty. But it's from plants.

So it's not meat? No. It's not meat. It's called the Impossible Burger. Why don't they just call it the Veggie Burger? Because you get everything that you get from a Whopper. Yeah, right. And they reckon it's very similar in taste, almost indistinguishable.

He's got a point, though. But you don't have to eat meat. Bring it in and I'll do a blind test. I can't bring it in because it's only in the United States. Man, let's leave it there. Would you give it a go though? Yeah, I'd probably give it a go. And the only reason I would say you probably should if it does

come here is that I've seen the reviews and people are saying they literally can't taste the difference. It bleeds. Like when you cook the meat, it bleeds. Oh, it depends on how you cook it though. Yeah, well of course. This is my question for you as a devout meat eater. And I say this as someone

who's trying to remove as much meat from my diet as possible. Good luck. If you ate the Impossible Burger and to you it tasted as good as a regular Burger King Whopper, would you switch to the plant one permanently? Nah, because I don't think it's the kind of thing that will stay around. You know that plants are more sustainable.

Maybe. No, they are. No, they are. We'll never know. No. Agree to disagree. Well, there you go There is some plant based Fast food news

From the King And if the Burger King Corporation Is listening I'd love to try one I'm very keen for it Yeah bring it on down Yeah And a meat option for Ben please

Great friend of the show And someone who's been travelling the world recently. Charlotte joins us in the studio right now. Hello, Charlotte. Hello. How are we? We had to get you on the show this afternoon because we've been told that you have a ripping story about when you were in a Taco Bell in Spain and you ran into a really bad language barrier. Yeah, so I ignorantly thought that when I was in Spain,

more people would speak English, which just really wasn't the case. Espeñola. Yeah, so basically I only know like gracias, señor, si. Cinco de mayo. That's pretty much as far as it goes. So all you know is thank you, sir, yes. Yeah. That's all you should need.

Yeah, and that's it. Yeah. So I've been trying to order food, and it was just all the menus were in Spanish. It's hard, eh? And it's really intimidating. Yeah. We had the same experience in Italy and France when we were on our honeymoon. The more nervous you get, the worse you are at trying to pronounce these foreign words.

Everyone's like, oh, get tapas, have this, have this. And you're like, I'll get tapas. And you go there. And I was traveling by myself as well. So I got there. I'm like, oh, yeah, patatas bravas. Not very good Spanish. So anyway, I was like, I'll go to Taco Bell for the free Wi-Fi.

If I need to translate stuff, it'll be easier there. I was going to say, why did you go to Taco Bell for the free Wi-Fi. If I need to translate stuff, it'll be easier there. I was going to say, why did you go to Taco Bell when you're in Spain? For the tacos. So I walk in and there's a self-serve counter. And I'm thinking, great. I don't have to talk to anyone in Spanish. I can just go and pick the pictures and then order my food. Brilliant.

Yeah. Genius. Walk up. Not so genius. It's all in Spanish, but there are pictures. So it's easier for me to pick the thing. Brilliant. Yeah. Genius. Yeah. Walk up, not so genius. It's all in Spanish, but there are pictures. So it's easier for me to pick the thing. So I'm picking it. I'm adding my things.

You know, it comes up with all this flatbread. I'm like, yeah, go on. Treat me out. Whatever. Off we go. Off we go. Off we go. I'm adding all my ingredients, lettuce, tomatoes, everything, onions, all cheese.

Yeah, come on. Get on here. You're having a great time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, great time. It's Taco Bell bell because you haven't eaten for three weeks by this day yeah i'm starving to death but um yeah so i print out my order pay for everything the

receipts start printing out and it's like quite long at least 30 centimeters or so i reckon that's a long receipt i ordered one thing so i'm like'm like, I've balled this up somewhere. I don't know what I've done. As it printed out next to everything, it said no. So I'd removed everything from my order. You weren't adding them in. You were taking them away. Yep. And the only thing I didn't want was tomato.

So I essentially just ordered a tomato. At this stage, I imagine you would have eaten your tomato from taco bell and just enjoyed it right because you are like you haven't had anything else to eat so i look over and there's this guy that's printing out to the kitchen and he's going to his mate like what the hell's happening with this so i just walked over and was like oh um no to c c and i'm just looking at it please change no to c so what happened um ended up getting it but then obviously i'm waiting for my order to be called out is it in tres and sent in tres i can't speak spanish so they're calling my number out in spanish and had to wait for 20 minutes because i don't even just looked at me and went, 33? I was like, oh, yep, thank you.

Right. So all in all, great exchange of culture. You learned a lot. A lot. And next time you go overseas, you're going to what? Download Duolingo. There it is. Brilliant.

ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Want to marry your cousin? Well, you can. Well, oh, God. Well, look, the guy from The Chase, which one is it? What is the name of him? The Beast. The Beast.

He's the bigger guy. Yeah. He's the white guy on the British Chase. He's very good. And it's not new news, but he found out after he got married that he was married to his cousin. His second cousin. Is this clip him talking about it here?

This is the clip where an interviewer asks him about it on a TV show. You didn't realise when you first sort of met is you're actually second cousins? Yeah, it wasn't something we were aware of at the time. It's just one of the things that happened.

We've been this afternoon figuring out what second cousin means and we've got it. It's just hard to explain. The easiest way we've figured out to know if someone's your second cousin, you and that person, your grandparents were brother and sister. Or brother and brother. Or sister and sister. Yeah.

Your grandparents were siblings. Your grandparents were blood related. Well, they were siblings. Yes. They were siblings. You can't get closer than that, can you? That's it. So your grandparents were, and then they had kids, their own kids, not together, because

they weren't dating each other. Yep. And then you are the kids of those kids. Right. Yeah. Whereas first cousin. First cousin. Your parents are brother and sister.

Yeah. Second cousin, your grandparents are brother and sister. Yeah, there you go. Both aren't great if you're getting married. Both still in the family. Both, you're blood related. Both, shorter wedding invite list're getting married. Both still in the family. Both, you're blood related. Both, shorter wedding invite list because you only have to invite one family. It's your family.

And can I just say that guy there, the guy from The Chase. He's in it rough. Who's meant to be, no, wait, not to mention, he's meant to be one of the smartest guys. Oh, good point. And he's trying to get away with saying that we didn't realise we were second cousins. Bullshit. You call bullshit.

I call bullshit. That guy is so intelligent as if he did not know. Okay, well, I say he's got it rough because now not only did he marry his cousin, but he's been cheated on by his cousin. So that person that he married, turns out she's been having an affair with a younger man. Well, he's 53 and she's 26. Yeah. So there's like a bit of an age gap.

And he's 53 as well. He's had a lot longer to find out who his family members are. You'd hope by that stage he'd done a family tree. Yeah. And she'd shown up. And they asked him, they're like, where did you guys meet? And he goes, oh, we met at a Christmas. I'm joking.

I made that up. Oh, I was going to say, that is a red flag. But that could be the truth. I want to give it to you right now. Okay. Say you didn't know. Say you believe him and you didn't know. Yeah.

And you're happily married. Mm-hmm. And then boom, you find out. I just don't know how you wouldn't know. That your And you're happily married. Mm-hmm. And then boom, you find out. I just don't know how you wouldn't know. That your husband or wife is your second cousin. Just go with it, that you didn't know. What would you do? Well, it's too late then, isn't it?

Well, you've already, I assume you've already done all the stuff by then. Yeah. But on principle, do you have to break up? Oh, God. Actually, I just don't want to think about it. What would you do? I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I want to say break up, but it's not that simple. It's not that black and white. Can you imagine when you first start dating and they start telling you a story and they're like, oh, and then my uncle Rob, and they're like, I've got an uncle Rob. They're like, does he have like a gammy eye? And they're like, yep.

Missing a couple teeth that got a mullet? Yeah. Yeah. That's my uncle. Just as food for thought for you, I don't have an answer for that question. Bree doesn't have an answer for it.

You probably don't either. Just so you know, it is still legal to marry your first cousin in 20 states in the United States of America. Is it legal here? No.

Oh, right.
