Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast which this week is a special investigation into how long Big Gay Gorgeous Al can survive without his precious vape. Scene, studio, interior, cast, Brie, Clint, Big Gay Gorgeous Al. Hello boys, hello girls. Day 2. Do you want me to share with you my impression of Alan last night? Day one without the vape.

You mean like an hour and a half without the vape? Actually an hour and a half without the vape. This was him. Oh God. How long has it been? I miss it. I've got no purpose to go outside.

No, no, wait, wait, wait. Then he goes to walk outside the balcony and he goes, damn it, I don't have my vape. Let's close all the doors. There's no point opening the doors anymore. I love that your only reason to go outside these days is vaping. That's the only reason he goes outside. It is.

Our flatmate Annabelle's like, oh, I wake up and I don't hear the whole vape, like wake me up at 6.30 in the morning because I've got no reason to go outside anymore. How loud are you vaping that it's waking your flatmates up? I suck on it. It's like Darth Vader's sucking on my balcony. I can literally hear him from my room.

I'll be like, I wonder if Alan's awake yet. And then I hear... Oh my God, he's up. It could be that hovercraft that you ordered. I think half a ponsonby here, that thing. It's so big. Are you lit right now? I've been at a work lunch.

I really missed the fake. Okay, tell us. This is because we're 24 hours in now the experiment by the way if you've just joined us Alan has given us his vape which he's severely addicted to and he has said he can go cold turkey

for a week without it because we want to see if it'll clear up his mystery rash so two questions did you use anyone's vape at lunch? no not at all did you? no I gave my vape juice away

yeah I gave it away to Will. Hi, Will, if you're listening. And question two, how's the rash? Still there. I'm itchy as F right now. It's annoying me. Yeah, but that's because you're coming down from your vape addiction.

Yeah. You're having withdrawals. You're jonesing at the moment. Can I share a story with you guys? No. My father? No, it's good. So I got a card delivered to me today from a friend of Ensign me.

And it says, Merry Christmas, hun. So good for having you in Auckland. And thanks for the vape. I give away vapes when I'm drunk, apparently. He also gives away tickets to things. He's a good man to know. He's connected, but not if you want a free vape this week. Because Big Gay Gorgeous Elle has gone vape-free until Friday.

Vape-free. And I feel so healthy. Here's today's podcast, everybody. Enjoy. Kia ora, everybody. Good afternoon. Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint. G'day guys. This time yesterday, we had just found out that the eruption on White Island had happened. Yeah, I know. For Kari White Island.

And now we know the severity of that explosion and how bad that situation really is. If there's any news on that today, we're going to update you at the top of our each time. So we'll have news at 4, 5 and 6 and we will make sure that is right up to date with any information there. I don't think there is much information apart from what has come out this morning, unfortunately. Yeah, and there's not going to be, I think

a lot of information over today but in the coming days maybe we'll see just how bad it is. There are some incredible photos coming out of it, though, and if you want to see those, they are over at the NZ Herald website at the moment,

including a helicopter, which has just... Been obliterated. Yeah, and it's still on the island as well and won't be leaving. So, yeah. Thoughts with all the emergency crews and the people obviously

involved in that as well. Anyone in the Whakatane area, anyone who has family affected by this. And people yeah and pretty much people who have lost people in that tragedy as well. We're thinking of you. Yeah and our mates across the ditch as well who have been seriously affected by it.

So we'll keep that up to date where we can if there's any news come from it. Apart from that we that up to date where we can. If there's any news, come from it. Apart from that, we will give you another chance today to get off to LA to see Camila Cabello live in concert. If that's your jam, you can do that at 4 o'clock. Plus Star Wars prizes to give away at 5 o'clock, yeah? Yeah, we've got those all week, and there's some amazing prizes in those Star Wars, nine days of Star Wars.

So we'll get to that around five o'clock as well. This is Carleed and Kane Brown on Zedim. Saturday night, Spree and Clint. Zedim, Spree and Clint, the podcast. You accused me of being a Christmas Grinch last week. You literally wanted to do the exact thing that the Grinch does in the movie. No, I did not want to steal Christmas.

No, he takes away all the presents. I wanted to cancel presents, yeah. Yeah, that's the exact thing the Grinch does. I feel like I had a good plan. No one got on board with me, so I'm just going to- Everyone told you to shut up. Maybe people aren't ready to hear the truth yet. Maybe that's it. No, maybe you're just not that woke. In five years when gifts get cancelled- They're not getting cancelled. Okay, well, I've got a story about another guy who's being accused of being a Christmas Grinch. Okay. He's a teacher in the United Kingdom

who has said to his students in his class that no one is allowed to send Christmas cards this year. Why? He said that Christmas cards disproportionately contribute to climate change. He said that throughout the world, we send enough cards that if we placed them alongside each other,

they'd cover the world's circumference 500 times. He's a primary school teacher, by the way. I don't know where he got his data from, but that's what he says. And he says the manufacturer of Christmas cards is contributing to our ever-growing carbon emissions. I guess once they get printed and then transported to all the shops and then transported from those shops back to your house

and then put in the mail, that involves transport as well. You know, I'm going to a party this weekend. Yeah. And I am looking for someone really fun to take. Yeah. Maybe he could come along. He sounds like he'd be a hoot at a party. Yeah, I can get his details for you.

His name's Jonathan Mason if you're an animal on Facebook. Jonathan, oh, what a good time. He suggested as a solution that his students send e-cards for Christmas. People can't hear you rolling your eyes. I know. They can't. I just think there's bigger problems than people sending Christmas cards. He thinks there is bigger problems.

He thinks those bigger problems include climate change. No, I'm saying there's bigger issues for climate change than sending a damn Christmas card. It does mean that we need to ask a bigger question, seeing as Mr Mason has brought that subject up. Does anyone enjoy an e-card? No. I'm not talking about wedding invites.

I don't mind getting a wedding invite as an e-thing. Don't love an e-card. It's just easier to keep track of an invite via an e-mail thing. But do you enjoy getting an e-Christmas card? Like those ones when, you know the ones where people get their head photoshopped onto elves and you open the email and the elves jump out and they sing a song? Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's fun. It's kind of fun.

Yeah? But, like, it's not the same meaning as a card where someone writes something really nice in a card. Yeah. Okay, well, second question. Is anyone still sending Christmas cards? I'm not. No, I don't. I haven't received any. Well, we're not the problem then. No, exactly right.

We are what you would call environmental ambassadors. Yeah, just by the fact of we can't be bothered. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Saving the world by lack of participation. That's good. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Look, I know people are probably getting stressed about Christmas time.

I know I am. My mum, I talked to her this morning. She's like, the whole food thing just stresses her out so much because she doesn't want people to go hungry. She doesn't know how much to cook. She doesn't know what people want. It's a bloody stressful time. I can answer all those questions for her.

Yeah. Everything, heaps of it, everything. Yeah, it's probably what most people in my family would answer. Right, I know what your mum's like. She's a feeder. She is a feeder. She'll be fine. She'll cook too much and it will be wonderful

because you'll have leftovers for about a week. My favourite is when we've got the leftovers the next day. That's the best. Yeah, exactly right. Especially the lasagna. Hell yeah. But I might have... Christmas lasagna is still the weirdest thing to me.

Is that weird to you? I know you're an Italian family, but Christmas lasagna is a weird thing. You know what's a weird thing for me? What's that? You saying that Christmas lasagna is weird. Yeah, I know. No, that's normal. That's every year.

That's the... Christmas lasagna. Trust me, there will be people listening going, yep, we do that every year, the Christmas lasagna. What's Christmassy about it? You have it on Christmas. Yeah, I know, but you also have it every other night of the week. No, not this one.

This one's the special. That's why I'm asking, what's Christmassy about it? It's the special one. Why? It's where mum goes all out and everything's like homemade and it's legit. It's got an extra layer on it. It's got the extra white layer on it. Okay. Christmas lasagna.

I stand corrected. Text us on 9696 if you have lasagna for Christmas lunch or dinner. I'd like to know if there's anyone else. Not would you like lasagna. Do you? I'd love lasagna for Christmas but do you? Do you and your family have Christmas

lasagna? It would be interesting to see. But this might be another option if you don't feel like cooking, you've had enough, you can't be bothered, because Tech Retailer Game released this was quite a few years ago now, back in

2013, but they've got something new out, which is why I'm talking about it. They released back in 2013, it cost've got something new out, which is why I'm talking about it. They released back in 2013. It cost $3.85, and it's pretty much a whole three-course meal in a can. For Christmas? For Christmas dinner. What courses are we getting? Do you want to know what's in it?

Yeah. So the cylinder can of three-in-one Christmas dinner includes turkey, potatoes, broccoli, bread sauce, sprouts, stuffing and mince pies. No lasagna? No lasagna. No. No, but there's other options now. There's vegan and vegetarian Christmas dinner can. That makes me sad.

This is what it looks like. Oh, that looks horrific. I think it looks alright. It looks like a disgusting trifle. It kind of looks like a lasagna. No, it doesn't. No, that looks horrific. I think it looks all right. It looks like a disgusting trifle. It kind of looks like a lasagna. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. It looks like four different Uber Eats meals

stacked on top of each other. Speaking of which, would you like some feedback on Christmas lasagna? Because it's pouring in. Are people saying no? I'll just read you through. Bree asked, do you have lasagna for Christmas?

One text, no, that's weird. Another text, what weirdo has lasagna? I feel racially profiled at the moment. There might be some positive ones in here. Another text, you don't have lasagna on Christmas Day. Yes, you do. It's great.

Another text, absolutely not. Another text, we have Christmas fettuccine every Christmas. Even better. Let's do that. They said, yummo. Someone said, do you have Christmas lasagna? No, but it sounds bloody fantastic. Someone goes, absolutely. I'm Italian.

Seashell pasta and chicken nibbles. Yep, bring it on. We didn't ask, are you Italian and do you have lasagna for Christmas? My best friend has lasagna for Christmas lunch. They're from England. Boom! There you go. Not Italian. They fled there from Italy during the war.

Ew, not lasagna. Ha ha. Barbecue or roast only. And desserts. Ew, that's a standard Christmas. That's really good. You guys are missing out, honestly. No, we know we are.

And guess what? It's cheap and it can feed all the cheap relatives that come in for Christmas. And it's good as a leftover. Exactly. No one's arguing that lasagna on Christmas would be nice. People keep saying, sort yourself out. That's weird. I'm Italian!

ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Coming to us direct from Hollywood, Dean McCarthy, what's the latest on the Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, was he cheating, wasn't he cheating situation? Oh, yes, a good question. Well, he alleged that he definitely didn't cheat. They just kind of canoodled.

And as he said, I had a lapse in judgment in the moment. But what we have found out, an interesting, fascinating revelation, a dramatic revelation, there is a $500,000 prenup clause in their prenup around cheating. So if one of them cheats during their marriage and that is the end of their marriage, the other one is given a $500,000, kind of like a consolation prize, if you will, a bonus, if you will.

Yeah, if the other one is actually done cheating and proven to be cheating as part of the breakup of their relationship. I actually think that's kind of a low amount. Nothing says love like a prenup for cheating. Yeah. Nothing says I'm in this for life. Forever.

Like a half a million dollar get out of jail free card. Well, not free. You're right, though. For the amount of money those guys make for one movie, it's not enough money. Like, it's not enough money if it's in the prenup as a deterrent to cheating, you know? It's like, if they put that in

there to try and talk the other person out of cheating, it's not enough money. Probably not. Not for those people, no. Not for those people. Normal people, maybe. Is that fairly standard in a Hollywood prenup, do you think, Dean? Something about that? Yeah, definitely. There's definitely a lot of prenups in Hollywood that have, like,

kind of cheating clauses. But I think that, yeah, just like you said, $500,000 is not going to deter him. He's probably thinking, you know what, I just spent that on a Ferrari, and, yeah, I wouldn't mind it or something. Can you put particular people in a prenup? Like, if you cheat with this person, then I get this much, or if you cheat with such and such, I get this much. Or can you preclude certain people from the thing?

If I cheat but it's with this person, then I don't have to pay anything. I don't have to pay anything. Yeah, you put a whole pass clause in the bottom of it. Hey, Dean, before you go, one last thing. Lasagna for Christmas lunch, yes or no? Hell yes. We're having it tonight. Yes!

I'm eating it right now. Hell yes. Are you? tonight Yes I'm eating an oven right now Hell yes Are you And one more question Dean Do you have Italian grandparents Or are you No No I'm having

No I don't I don't actually But if you did That makes it even more A reason to pull out the lasagna Yeah He's just got a lot of Italian boyfriends

That's Dean McCarthy Our Hollywood correspondent Live from Hollywood The latest is brought to you by Amplify Kombucha. Taste Amplified. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. This Friday, the Bree and Clint show will finish for the year.

That's it. That's it. No more shows. I refuse to do another show. No more holidays? I was going to say, what? I thought we were going on a holiday. No more shows.

So what we're doing is we're cruising to the end of the year by playing highlights. Remember like on The Simpsons or like on Friends when you'd watch an episode and it would just be chopped together bits of old episodes? Yeah, I read, I used to watch heaps of documentaries on Friends, the show, and they used to say how sometimes they would spend

all of their budget for a season. Yeah. And they'd have to make do and make episodes like that where they could just reuse footage or just use the actual sets that they always have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And not make new sets. It's clever. I mean, it gets an extra episode in there, right?

Yeah. And that's what we're doing. I say it's clever because that's what we're doing. Yesterday was an entire edition of the 2019 scrapbook dedicated to your mum, Mama Di. Actually, I forgot to tell her about that. She will absolutely love that. I was going to ask, has she heard it?

Well, actually, will she like it? Because it was just pretty much you and I giving her a hard time. No, it was you giving her a hard time. No, you were involved. No, I was supporting her. No, you were supporting me. No, I was supporting her. No, you supported me.

If you're listening, Mama Di, I'm on your side. I'm always on your side. That's what he says when the mics are on, not when the mics are off. We have another edition of The Scrapbook, another trip down memory lane for 2019. Ah, once upon a time, earlier this year, previous to now, Bree and Clint's 2019 scrapbook. Page 150.

Clint is the man behind the buttons and the sound effects on the Brie and Clint show. Clint takes that job really seriously. Brie, on the other hand, doesn't. The leading show for maritime and aviation-based news. We replaced my plane sound effect with the sound of you doing a plane noise?

No, I believe that was the original sound effect of the aircraft. Really? Boeing 757. Really? Okay, this shit again. I don't understand what the problem is. That is the original sound effect that's back. That's the original one.

Are you alright? Am I alright? Am I alright? Cool. Cool. It's all about me being crazy again. Obviously. Look, there's two versions. I've found them. There's two versions of the thing. There's two versions. Look. One sounds like this. See? I believe

that is the original. And one sounds like this? And that is your aviation news. I'm not even going to comment. God, that was a big time. Where did you even get that? That was from the time you go, that wasn't even a good aeroplane sound. This would have been better. You could have

got a guy going... Now we know Clint takes his sound effects and aviation news super serious. It'd be a shame if we messed with him one more time, right? So now we take a look back at August 13th when he absolutely loses the plot. The leading show in New Zealand for

maritime and aviation-based news. So let's head to the aviation desk. I already knew you changed that. I already knew you changed that. It's not funny anymore. You've already done it. All right? You've already messed with it.

You've already messed with our reputation. Is that the wrong kind of plane? That was not a plane. That was you. Are you wanting a bigger aircraft? I wanted a regular sound effect. It's not funny. It's not funny anymore.

The funny part is how worked up you get. Are you wanting a bigger aircraft? I wanted a regular sound effect. It's not funny. It's not funny anymore. People are going to stop believing our aviation news. It's how worked up you get. That's the funniest part for me. It's change back now. It's change back. I'm not pushing it. I don't care. No, because I've done this before.

I've done this before. No, we're not doing it. He's kicked off. He's finally cracked. F*** it. Put some f***ing effort in, okay? Like, change the sound effect. Do a different one.

Grow up. None of us here know what you're kicking off about. I don't care. Someone on the text machine goes, get Clint some water to wash all that salt down. Tune in tomorrow for another page of Bree and Clint's 2019 scrapbook. I think that's been my favourite one. This is so meta, honestly.

I do love that piece of the scrapbook. You know why? Why? Because it takes time and effort to pull a gag like that off. And there's been multiple people involved. I've said it to you already. Put in some time and put in some effort. Nah, that's called a joke with longevity. That's good stuff.

Four more days. Nice one, Ben. Nice one, Ellie. Four more days. Team effort. Nice work. Four more days. Bree and Clint.

That was a plane. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. Is this enough to get you back to Snapchat? New feature coming to Snapchat, which they're calling Cameo. You know how Snapchat will roll out a feature to a certain group of people first Facebook do the same thing. New Zealand's historically been a test market for a lot of things in the past. French people, French Snapchat users were treated to Cameo over the weekend.

And what it is, is you know how Snapchat already have that thing where you can upload a photo of someone and then it will give you their facial features? Yeah, Tom Sainsbury uses it for his impressions of Paula Bennett and all those comedic things that he does. He's made a career out of it. Yeah. Well, Cameo is like a really good version of that. Right. It's like when the, because Snapchat was it this year they released the boy

and the girl version, what you'd look like as a boy or what you'd look like as a girl. Oh, that was good. That was pretty good that one, wasn't it? You know what's really rude to Snapchat? What? Is they do all these good things. And Snapchat have some great filters as well. Like some of the best ones are on Snapchat. Well, they were the first ones to be doing it.

Remember the rainbow tongue? Yeah, that was great. That was one of the first ones. Yeah. And the vomit one, open your mouth and then blah. People go, they go, oh, cool, thanks, Snapchat. They go on, they use the filter, and then they save that video to their phone.

They don't even upload it or send it on Snapchat. They go and upload it to Instagram. I know. And Snapchat's like, we made that for you guys so you could come back. Well, sorry, Snapchat. Sorry. You released too many nudes, unfortunately.

You're the one who released the nudes. Snapchat just helped you distribute them. No, what if I took them on Snapchat and then they accidentally, like the cloud or whatever? That's where they say it happens a lot is when they're in the backlogs of Snapchat. Right, okay. Apparently, I don't know.

You sound like you know a lot about it. No, I haven't done it. I just read about it. Did Snapchat leak one of your news? No, I just read that that happened to a few Disney stars. Right, okay. Good save. Anyway, Cameo is a super advanced version of facial augmentation

and they reckon that it's an issue because deep fakes are what they're called and it's already happening where people are putting politicians' heads on people, saying things that they would never say. People for a while have been doing it. So instead of just looking like a filter, it looks real. It looks like the person and you can actually make their mouth move and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was originally brought in because people were putting famous people's heads on porn stars and going, oh my God, so-and-so's done a sex tape. And you're like, no, I didn't. But they're like, but look at this video. This is definitely you. And that's going to be the issue.

Like these things are going to get so good where you'll go, well, we've got video proof of you doing this thing. So it's twofold the problem because one, you'll go, I didn't do that thing. And they'll go, but there's video footage. And you go, it's a fake. But then also people who did do something, they'll go, well, that video is a fake.

It's a fake. Yeah, exactly. Well, they need to really put like rules and regulations down for this stuff. Yeah. Because it's like Facebook now, you know. There's all these things that have happened and then these videos get shared on Facebook and it's because there's no laws and like regulations around it.

There's no law and it moves way too fast. You invent something and you put it out there. And boom, it's all grey area and like lime scooters. No helmets are being worn. Lime scooters? You're bringing lime scooters out here? Well, it's all grey area and like lime scooters. No helmets are being worn. Lime scooters? You're bringing lime scooters in here? Well, it's true. Like they brought out all these lime scooters

and then all these people are just making up their own rules, you know? No, all right. It's a fair comparison. I miss lime scooters, by the way. I really miss them too. I know that's not what we're talking about. I miss lime scooters. Even if they don't have helmets, which they probably should.

They got banned in Auckland. I don't know if they got banned in Christchurch. Bring back the lime scooters. Bring back the Lime scooters. Or just bring back some scooters. It turns out all the scooters were Lime. And they're like, we're giving the contract to a company called Bongo Mingo or something. But they don't have any scooters. I know.

And, like, I get the other ones are New Zealand companies. But could you get some more bloody scooters? Yeah, I'm happy to support you. Can you get some more scooters, please? I don't want to get six different apps everywhere I go. You know what I mean? At least I'll have one of them. I've got a folder.

I've got a whole folder of e-scooter apps. For scooters, e-scooters. Yeah. Here's the thing. Just buy your own. Buy your own e-scooter? Yeah. Nah, because I don't want to carry it around.

True. All right, I think we got to the bottom of that. Snapchat's not coming back and neither are live scooters Nah I feel like I should be about to do The fact of the day Because that's what this fits into For Fletch, Vaughan and Megan

It's a story about why the US of A Still use the imperial system Instead of the metric system Oh okay Which I mean if you don't know what that is It the imperial system instead of the metric system. Oh, okay. Which, I mean, if you don't know what that is, it's using pounds instead of kilos and feet. Gallons instead of litres. Yeah, gallons instead of litres and feet instead of centimetres.

No, inches instead of centimetres. Or inches. Feet instead of metres. Yeah, same thing. Same, same. It's very confusing. It is. And I'm interested in to know why.

Because I feel like America is the only country that still uses that system. No, there's still a couple. Is there? Maybe. Not many. Not many. They're definitely the biggest. Because, I mean, my nan still weighed herself in pounds.

Yeah, but no disrespect to your nan, but she's from a different time, mate. Yeah, well yeah she was very old yeah I've got the story as to why it actually happened so apparently back in the day when the United States was still in its formative stages

you know they kind of all use these the imperial measurements but a pound in New York was less than a pound in Virginia, and they're all different all over the shop. Right, so it's like a made-up measurement. Pretty much. So it was all different.

I want a New York pound. The problem was so ridiculous that in 1790, President George Washington said that he wants to make it all unified and make it so it's all the same, which, I mean, makes sense if you're living in the same country. If it's a measurement. You know? Yes.

Makes a lot of sense. Anyway, so Secretary of the State, Thomas Jefferson at the time, proposed a system in which all measurements would be divisible by 10, making an inch a tenth of a foot and so on and so on, which apparently at the time there was a real similar system that he wanted that was in France. Yeah. So what they did was, and the system that was in France

was the one that would eventually evolve into the metric system. So what happened was they invited this French scientist, his name was Joseph Dombey, they invited him over to the US to kind of show them. You really know everything about this, by the way. Yeah, no, I probably know too much. Like, you've got, you're taking us deep into this. Anyway, they invited him over.

I'll cut it short. They invited him over to the US and what he had with him was pretty much the official kilogram. Oh, yeah. So he had this official weight. He had the kilo. Yeah, he had the original kilo. Anyway, he got intercepted by

British pirates. They captured him and he was in prison for the rest of his life. So he never made it to the US. And that's why. And he lost the kilo. He lost the kilo. Is that it? That's a cool story. I know it is. I know it's a cool story. But I'm

going, is that the reason why they still use things like gallons? Because some guy lost the official kilo on the way to America from England. The kilogram didn't arrive and the US moved on embracing the imperial system instead. Right. It's time to un-embrace it because it's too confusing. It doesn't make any sense. Is it? None of it adds up.

Our system is the system. Everything is in tens and hundreds, and it makes sense. Everything except time. It does. Can we change time? Yeah, time is hard, isn't it? Why are there 60 minutes in an hour? Yeah, it's weird.

That's the one annoying one that's left. I thought we could put the imperial system to the test, and that's why producer Ellie has devised a very old test where she is going to test yours and my knowledge on the imperial system. Welcome to class. Thanks, Ellie. Who would like to go first? I'll go first.

Okay. You're driving to Las Vegas from LA and the sign says 77 miles to go. How many kilometres away are you? No clue. I want to say... 35? So 35km to 77 miles. I'm guessing.

So what if I said that to one mile it's 1.61km? So it's going to be bigger. More. Yeah. Right. Do you want to try again? 400. Okay, I'm just going to give you the answer, all right?

So it's 123.94. Yeah, that's what my third answer was going to be. Yeah, I thought so. Okay, Clint. It's recently been revealed that Olaf, snowman from Frozen Is 5 foot 4 inches How many centimetres tall is he? Oh god I could show you

Like with my hand 5 foot 4 Yeah he's about that high No one can see that 5 foot 4 I'm going to say 150 centimetres. Nah, he's taller than that.

That was close-ish. It was 162 centimetres. But that was a pretty good guess. All right, Bree. The Times Square... This game sucks, by the way. It's hard. I don't know these answers.

The Times Square ball that they drop on New Year's Eve weighs 1,212 pounds. How many kilos does it weigh? How much? 1,212 pounds. How many kilos does it weigh? How much? 1,212 pounds. 212. I'm going to say about 600 kilos. That's actually pretty good. It's 550 kilos.

Nice. And we're living in America, baby. Well done. I can only weigh myself in pounds. I had no faith in you when you were like, about 600. I was working it out. I heard you scoff. All right, Clint, your last one.

My Toyota Corolla takes 55 litres of petrol. How many gallons is that? How much? 55 litres. Okay. 55 litres. How many gallons? Oh, that's hard.

How many gallons? Gallons. Is it double or is it half? Cowboys wear a 10-gallon hat, and that looks like it's about five litres. So I'm going to say it's half, which means that your car takes 28.5 gallons of fuel. Nice. It's a great guess. It is actually 14.5 gallons of fuel. Nice. It's a great guess.

It is actually 14.5 gallons of fuel. A great guess. It's not even close. I'm just encouraging him, you know. Yeah, that system sucks. Let's stick to it. There's 3.79 litres to a gallon. Why?

Yeah, I don't know. Why? I don't know. Why is there? I don't know. Because when you drink, you can just be like, I don't know. I don't know. How many beers have you had? I don't know. That's good because when you drink, you can just be like, I don't know. I don't know. How many beers you had?

I don't know. I'm not from here. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. That was one of the most cooked things he's ever said, by the way. Just when we went on air, producer Ben just said something. What? What did he say? I didn't even hear what he said.

He said, hey, Brie, do you reckon rocks are actually really soft? And then when you touch them them they just tense up? Ben, are you alright? Did you smoke something before the show today? Are you? I did see him hanging with Paula Bennett. Helping her get through her

14 games of oregano. This is interesting for the intrepid travellers amongst you. I've got a list of abandoned towns that you can explore. No, thanks. No, me neither. It's not my... Not my jam. Not my jam, but I know that Fletch from Fletch Foran and Megan

loves an abandoned town. Does he? He went to Chernobyl. Yeah, see, I'd probably rather go to Chernobyl than a haunted. Like, I do think it's creepy. I said abandoned, not haunted. Yeah, but when I think abandoned, I think haunted. Well, you can go to Chernobyl.

It's there. In fact, there's full tourism tours going through it now, so you can do that. But if you're looking for some more, I guess, some less popular abandoned towns, here's some for you. I was reading this list. There's heaps in Australia. Is there?

Heaps of old gold mining towns. Oh, yeah, they're creepy. And then when the gold dried up, people just left. There's one called Hill End, which is near... Sounds like the hills have eyes. Yeah, it does, eh? There's a gold mining town. It's near Bathurst. Oh, is it? So you could go there and have a look on your way back from watching the race at Bathurst and do some donuts in a ghost town. Might be the bottom of the

hill. Yeah, might be the bottom of the hill. Yep. There's also an abandoned town in Australia called Willand... Willand... Witta... Wittenoom. What? You tell me. W-I-T-T-E-N-O-O-M. Show me. Wittenoom.

No, it's Wittenoom. Wittenoom. It's not a gold mining town. It was a asbestos mining town. And 2,000 people, their deaths have been linked to the asbestos fibres that are in the air.

And so the government has gone, no, no one lives here anymore. Shut this down. You have to leave. But all the things are still there. All the houses, all the phone boxes. It's like Chernobyl. It's all just sitting there. There's a place which I'm really going to butcher the pronunciation of. It's an island in Japan called Gankanijima. Gankanijima.

Gokanjima Island in Japan. I think I've heard about this place. It was once upon a time the most densely populated place on earth. Yes, I've heard about it. And it's just a rock. Like it's a rock in the middle of the ocean. It looks like, what's that prison in San Francisco? Alcatraz.

It kind of looks like Alcatraz. It looks like Alcatraz if they ran out of land and had to build up. Up. And there's just skyscrapers on this tiny piece of land. So they were mining coal that was underneath it. And so there's like a booming economy for people to live there. And then they stopped and there was no reason to live there anymore. So there's this abandoned city floating out in the middle of the ocean.

It's getting really popular with YouTubers who go and film out there. Also, they filmed an episode of James Bond film out there. I'm pretty sure that's on The Dark Tourist, that place. Oh. I'm pretty sure there's an episode. The David Farrier one? Yes, I'm pretty sure they covered that place. I knew I'd seen it somewhere recently.

And then there's also in New Zealand, apparently along the west coast of the South Island, there are 70 abandoned towns. You're talking old mining, gold mining settlements, that sort of thing. 70 though. How's New Zealand big enough to have 70 anything? I don't think we have 70 McDonald's. I've seen a few abandoned

gold mining areas near Queenstown. Every time you drive through the mountains and stuff, you can see where... Oh, like Arrowtown and stuff? No, not like Arrowtown. Right near the river river and there's like all this old shacks and stuff left there. Yeah.

And for those who seem a little bit too far to go, there's also one at Rainbow's End. It's called the Gold Rush and you hop on there and you get to see just what gold mining was like. You can even go in an old gold mining cart, ride along through there and a guy comes out from around the corner.

He's still there. He's the only guy left in the town. I don't want to spoil it for you, but you're going along in the cart, and a guy comes along and he goes, look out! And just at the right time, I don't want to spoil it, but your cart swerves off the right way. You think you're going to hit him, and then you don't. It's just like it used to be.

So lifelike. I know, right? Crazy. Don't even have to fly there either. Well, you do if you're in the South Island. And those are ghost towns, everybody. Enjoy. Brie and Clint, the podcast.

ZM. Pretty exciting last week. Launched the remix of Mitch James' song Sunday Morning. Oh, yeah, great, great remix. It was a great remix. Do we have that on? It's not. Instant Kiwi classic, yeah.

Instant. And I thought, you know, I wonder if Mitch James likes it. And he actually messaged me over the weekend. Did he? Yeah, Mitch James himself sent me a message. And he said, Brie, that remix, top notch. Good stuff. So he loves it.

And I thought, you know. We should get him to release it on Spotify. Yeah, we should. Get some of those hot royalties, baby. See how well it would go. I thought off the back of that, I got producer Ben, our amazing mixing man. We put our heads together.

And we've come up with a few more Sunday remixes. Oh, right. You really got to milk this cow for every last drop she's got. Mate, it's the end of the year We don't have anything else No no I like it I like it So our first one

We decided on Was Sunday morning Maroon 5 What day is Father's Day Sunday Yeah So what would the question be Father's Day is on Sunday

Sunday Sunday Sunday. I mean, it's okay. It had to be done. Had to be done. I like that. It's good, yeah. And then the next one that came to mind was Easy, Lionel Richie.

Oh, okay. Old school. Easy Like Sunday Morning. Sunday. Easy like Sunday morning. See, you can't even tell. It just fits so well. Seamless, yeah, yeah. It fits really well as well. Sunday.

So good. Sunday. We thought we'd round it out with this U2 classic, Bloody Sunday. Bloody Sunday. Sunday. Bloody Sunday. Sunday. Bloody Sunday. Sunday Sunday Sunday I like how you've left one of the original Sundays in there. But you're like, you two, we'll leave you with one of them.

I also like how you said, and we thought we'd wrap it up with this one. You ran out of songs with Sunday in it, didn't you? Yep. ZM's Brie and Clint, the podcast. Oh my God, I heard she bought all her followers. She would, she's such a bitch. It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta-fame game. The game where we guess how many followers celebrities have on Instagram

and you can play too. Yep. Last game of the year. What is the score for the year so far, Producer Ellie? So the score is 20 to 18 to Bree, but we did give you five points last time because of the rule we made. That's right. I won five points last time.

Yeah, yeah. No, we gave you them. No, we made a bet. No, we gave you them. We made a bet. I said play you for five points and then I a bet. No, we gave you them. We made a bet. I said play you for five points and then I won them. You did. When I needed to actually say seven points.

Yeah. Because I won five points and now I still can't. You've won. Yeah. Gus. Gus Paul. Oh, well. Oh, I play you for three points today?

Yeah. All right. For Kings, Clint, you've put 23K. Brie, you've put 65K. Kings has 16.6K. Yeah. He deserves more than that. So that's a point to Clint.

But the Bree and Clint show has 45.9K. It's a point to Brie. Get in. Do you want to play for three points? Yeah. Brie and Clint, the podcast. I was talking to my mum last night and she's just getting ready for Christmas, organising stuff, and it kind of dawned on me that everyone has very different Christmas traditions.

Yeah. There's your classics. You know, there's the tree and there's the Christmas lunch and what else is a Christmas classic? Presents. Presents. Bulk standards. But then...

Getting drunk and abusing your family members. Yeah, that's a classic, isn't it? But then depending on what family you grow up in, you have traditions. Yeah. And sometimes... Things that evolve by accident usually and are only specific to your family.

Like your Christmas Day lasagna. Yeah, that's a tradition in our family. It's not weird. We'd already established that it is weird. We're Italian. Yeah. It's not weird. But, you know, I love a tradition.

It's one of my favourite things. I. It's not weird. But, you know, I love a tradition. It's one of my favourite things. I think it's really nice. You know we've got a tradition in our radio show family here? Which one? Do you know what the tradition is? Going to dinner and doing Secret Santa? No, well, that's pretty standard. But we always take a photo on the road just outside Ponsonby Road,

outside the Sky Tower. Oh, yeah. We've done it once. No, but we're planning to do it again. So that makes... No, you have to do it twice for it to be a tradition. It's a tradition. We're planning on it.

We haven't done it yet, though. We haven't done it yet. But it will be our tradition. Well, it will be soon. Do you have any weird traditions in your family? My family tradition was always to decorate the Christmas tree, me and my brothers, in our undies. Why? Dunno. I think one year my brothers, in our undies. Why?

Dunno. I think one year we did it in our undies and someone took a photo. By someone, I mean my mum. I don't mean like someone came around to our house and took photos of these three young boys decorating a tree in their undies. Yeah, that's a bit weird.

And then from then on, we couldn't decorate the tree without being in our undies. Mum was like, you want to decorate the tree? You need to strip down to your, and now it sounds weird again. Yeah, well, that's weird. But that became our tradition. Yeah. It's a weird tradition.

And then when my sister was born, we were like, you want to decorate this tree with us? You've got to do it in your undies. You get into your undies. And now I go home after the tree's been decorated. You've got a weird family. What do your family do? We've got a few weird things that we do usually. I thought that's what

we were talking about. Weird Christmas traditions. I know, but yours got weirder and weirder every year. Sorry, I thought this was a safe space for sharing. The board says, what's your weird Christmas tradition? Shall I say something not weird? We have mustard on our turkey. Yeah, that's kind of weird, isn't it?

We don't do that. We decorate it in our indies. No, we don't really have anything that weird. I mean, we have to have the Christmas album from Elvis playing before anyone is allowed to open their presents. Not weird. It's a Christmas album. Makes sense. What else?

Our family's pretty normal. In that sense, most of the time not. Okay, well I won't be the weirdest one out there. I won't. No, of course not. After sharing that story, I will not be the weirdest person with a Christmas tradition, which is the beauty of radio, right? We can open it up and find someone.

Please call. What is your weird Christmas tradition in your family? What's something that you've kind of never really realised until we're asking you now on the radio, but you're like, that's a bit weird. Mum's got a Christmas G-string. Not, for the record again, not my mum. Uh-huh. Also, she wasn't decorating the tree.

She wasn't getting into her undies. To be fair, we never invited her. Looking back, that's kind of rude. What, to do the tree and the undies? Hey, Mum, grab some balls. Come and decorate this. Oh, my God. 0800 DIAL ZM.

What is your weird Christmas tradition? You can text us on 9696. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast. There's some really good text coming through on this. What is your weird Christmas family tradition? Something that you know that's not a standard amongst other families, like a tree or presents. It's not a traditional tradition.

No, but it's something that your family, for some reason, does every Christmas. Yeah. Some special stuff. Hi, Ash. Hello. How you going? Good.

What's the weird Christmas tradition you have in your family? So my partner and his brothers always go and see some adult dancers on Christmas Eve. Oh. Right. Right. Now, I imagine this tradition didn't come about until they were adults. It's not something they've brought through from their childhood? Well, I should hope not. Right. from their childhood. You're right, Ash.

You're right. Right. But, yeah. You know what, Ash? Me and my sister kind of have a similar one. We don't go to the strippies, but... There's no strippies in Stanfield, right? No, there isn't.

You guys do the show. We do the show, but we always go out on Christmas Eve and get a bit of... No, he's people do that. It's a bit different to go to the strippies. Yeah, I guess that's a little bit different. Ash, is it a tradition that you're putting a stop to? No, he's people do that. It's a bit different to go into the strippies. Yeah, I guess that's a little bit different. Ash, is it a tradition that you're putting a stop to? Like, do you care?

No, not really. I think it's hilarious. Right. Who does that with all their brothers? Yeah. And how sad. Like, oh gosh.

Why is that Christmas-y? Yeah, I know. Like, how sad that that's the Christmas tradition. Christmas is a time for family. Yeah. Let's go to a sad strip club. There's a really few good text messages

you want to hear a few. Someone said weird Christmas tradition. My mum always gives us a jar of mayonnaise every year. It started when I moved out of home and couldn't afford to buy Best Foods mayonnaise. So she wrapped one up and gave it to me. Now 10 years later I still get one, me and my

sister both. That's lovely. I like that. I like that one too. Claire's here. G'day, Claire. Hi. What's your weird family Christmas tradition? Okay, so I'm a solo mum. I only have one child, and when he was little, we don't do it anymore. He's 14 now. He's a bit past it,

but when he was little, instead of getting a tree, I would just decorate the clothes horse and he would sit underneath it and unwrap his presents. That is so cute. So we'd call it the Christmas angel. You know, it's one of those plastic ones. So the arms go up and I'd just say...

You've got to keep doing it. I don't care if he's 14. You've got to keep the Christmas clothes horse in rotation. I don't care whether you get rich, Claire. You need to keep a Christmas clothes horse going. That's not crazy. If people came over, they'd be like, you guys know that's not a tree, right? How dare you, says Claire.

No, I love that. Do we get the roast chicken one on? No. Can you read the roast chicken one? Oh, yeah, the roast chicken one was brilliant. Hold on. Here it is. Someone texted her and said, my ex-boyfriend has a very large family. Five sisters, two brothers, plus partners,

nieces and nephews, etc. Every Christmas, his mum will cook one full roast chicken per person, no matter their age. First person to eat the whole chicken wins. A whole roast chicken each. How many chickens would that be? How many ovens does this person have? Rebecca's here as well. Rebecca, hi. Merry Christmas. Hello.

Merry Christmas. Tell us the weird family tradition for Christmas in your family. So it started a few years ago where mum used to make a trifle for Christmas every year. And it got to the point where we'd like literally have a food fight over who got the trifle for the next day. Sounds like my family. Yeah. So it got to the point where, like, we... Well, one year we had a food fight and that got really messy.

So now Mum has to make trifles for everyone for the next day. So you literally have a trifle food fight every year? We did and then Mum called that off. So, wait, she's making you a trifle each to eat yes not to fight with yes so you breathe breathe thinks that your mum is arming you for a trifle i mean that sounds great but no to stop the fight we had to have one each come on mom i thought she was making one for the fight imagine this poor woman's in the kitchen for three weeks making enough trifle and then you throw it at your cousin? What a wonderful woman, Rebecca.

Special lady. She sounds like a lovely lady. I'll read out one more text. What's the weird family Christmas tradition? This is probably my favourite. Someone said, Mum or Dad have to hide a fake gherkin in the Christmas tree. The first one to find it opens the first present.

Classic game of family, hide the gherkin. Hide the gherkin. That's disgusting. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger.

That's P-Money and Vintada.

Everything. That's the winner of birthday banger today. This Friday, one of us is eating cat food. The reason why it's not important, all that matters is the person that's doing it, it's still up in the air. Are you really still saying it's one of us? It's definitely you. No, absolutely I'm still saying it. Got to hold out hope until that last minute.

It is 100% you. There's a bet in play. One of us is eating cat food On Friday It'll be the last thing We do on the show For the year Next I can't believe this

This is how we're gonna See the year out That's how we'll see The year out Yeah this is how You wrap this show up In one break ZM Spree and Clint

The podcast So this Friday Someone is gonna be Eating cat food. Yeah, you or me, to be exact. It's based off a bet that you and I made that whether friends or not would be making a comeback. You lived and breathed this prediction and you said by the end of the year, you believe they would have dropped some sort of announcement saying they would be back

for a reunion show of some sort, even if it was one episode. Yeah, yeah. And as it stands, I mean, we've got four days left, so the Friends production team, if you could chop-chop with that announcement, I'd really appreciate it. It's still up in the air, all right?

I don't know if it's up in the air. The cat food's getting eaten. That bit's not up in the air. I think it's you eating the cat food this Friday. It's one of us. So I thought, for safety's sake, let's call a vet and see if there's anything we need to know about eating cat food. I think it's healthy and nutritious.

As a human? Delicious. All right. Vec hereir Graylin? How can I help? In your opinion, is it okay for a human being to eat cat food? That's an odd question. I would probably say it's not the greatest idea.

Not the greatest. I know it's hard to give a professional opinion over the phone or anything like that. It's just say someone found themselves in a situation where there is a bet that involves eating cat food and that bet is due to close in three or four days' time. Right. Should that person be concerned about consuming wet cat food? I will just put you on hold. Okay, thank you.

Thank you. She's going... She thinks you're a freak. She's going for a second opinion. She thinks you're real weird. She's like... Now she's like gossiping to the other girls in the office about you.

That's what she's doing. You know that. What? She's literally going to go gossip. Saying she's got a freakazoid on the phone. Yeah. She shouldn't. She should be professional. Well, you're asking if to go gossip. Saying she's got a freakazoid on the phone. Yeah. She shouldn't. She should be professional.

Well, you're asking if you can eat cat food and you're a human. Maybe I should have called a human doctor. They need to be professional with animals, not humans. Yeah, good point. Are you there? Yeah, still here. Thanks for holding. So my colleague just passed the phone over to me.

So look, it's probably not ideal, but it won't cause anyone to be sick. No. So if it is for like a bet or anything, you'd probably be okay. Okay, and do you have a recommendation on, not flavour so much, but I guess variety? Is this a prank call? No, it's not a prank call, but it is for

a bet that's a radio station based bet. Hi there, sorry, I'm here too.'m part of it so i recognized your voice hi what was your name i'm rachel rachel that's so convenient because the bet is about friends the show and you have the name of one of the characters yep that's me so clint so so don't be worried that anything you say here is going to be legally binding. It's not. It's not whatsoever. No, that's fine. If I had to choose, I'd probably go with biscuits over wet food.

No, it's wet food that the bit has been made with. But say you didn't have a choice. Oh, if you didn't have a choice. And it was wet food. Jelly meat? Yeah, jelly meat would be the worst. And go to the supermarket and grab something really yucky and smelly. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Rachel, I'm looking, no, no, no, no, Rachel.

Yeah, good idea, Rachel. I'm looking for delicious, nutritious options. No, thank you for those suggestions. I appreciate that, Clint. He's going to be dining in on Friday. He sounds worried, doesn't he, Rachel? He does. I think you're probably going to lose.

We don't know that, Rachel. Yeah, we don't know that, Rachel. I think I'm in the clear, Rachel. Just before we go, and this is nothing cat food based, do you have an opinion on whether Friends is going to make a reunion announcement before the end of the year? We don't know that, Rachel. I think I'm in the clear, Rachel. Just before we go, and this is nothing cat food based, do you have an opinion on whether Friends is going to make a reunion announcement before the end of the year? Oh, my God, that'd be amazing. Wouldn't it just?

Then I wouldn't have to eat cat food. Thanks, Rachel. As long as it doesn't come back and it's really crude and not that great of a show. Rachel, bad news. Looks like it's not. Hence why Clint has to eat cat food, I'm afraid. Yes. Well, I can't wait to watch it. Good luck, my friend. Alright.

Thanks, Rach. Bye, Rach. Bye. She was helpful. Wasn't she? I feel like she wants me to eat cat food. She does. She was very keen on the idea, I think. Well, good to know that we're safe from a medical point of view, from an animal medical specialist.

She didn't say anything about gas, though. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast. Welcome to the studio, producer Ellie. Hi there. G'day. Hello. Ellie has brought to our attention today that New Zealand is in the grips of a shortage. I was saying to you guys earlier, when I first moved to this country, I could not wrap my head around that there was a shortage in fans.

Oh, yeah, the great New Zealand fan shortage of 2018, 2017, 2016, and so on and so forth. I honestly thought the guy at the shop was taking the piss. I really did, and I still every year can't wrap my head around it. My issue with the fan shortage is what does everyone do with their fans at the end of summer? Yeah, recycle. Because we run out of every year. We run out of them every year.

Well, not recycle. No. Just don't throw them out. Yeah, well, what about the people that don't get them because there's a shortage and they don't get to buy one? But it's like you get to the end of summer and you go, oh, thank God we got through that. Don't need this anymore. Some people do. It's not fans that we have a shortage of at the moment.

Producer Ellie, what is New Zealand in the grips of a shortage of? Look, I went to the doctor this morning and I asked them to prescribe me some condoms because, fun fact, it's cheaper if you get them prescribed. God, how many are you going through? A truckload? Well, Sam has been away. My boyfriend's been away for a while. I was going to say, who have you been using them with? He's been away for three months.

Your boyfriend's not even in the country. No, but he's back this Sunday and I am prepping. He's stockpiling. Yeah, I'm stockpiling. You're going to need a whole truckload. Yeah, I am actually. And he doesn't want to leave the house for a week. Sorry, that was rude. Can you imagine what that

house is going to smell like? Oh, it's going to be great. Do we have a condom shortage? So when I was in the chemist waiting for my prescription to be filled, the lady came up to me, the chemist girl, and she goes, hey, so just so you know, there's actually a shortage of flavourless condoms in New Zealand. Would you like chocolate or strawberry?

There's no vanilla. No, wait, what? So I think what you're saying is there's a shortage of the unflavoured ones. Yeah, plain. I was making a joke because there's chocolate and strawberry. So all you could have is flavoured ones? Yeah, so she just asked me, what flavour do you want? Is there glow in the dark?

I know. Because that's what I'd be picking. They are a fun time. Yeah, so I've walked away with 500 strawberry condoms. Wait, 500? Oh. No, they give you like 12 dozen though. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think it was six dozen this time. They've also cut that down too. You can only get half the amount you're used to. Mate, 12 dozen's enough. You know it should be. What, they give you 12 dozen? It was six dozen this time. Oh, at least six dozen.

They come in this bulk pack too. I mean, so I've heard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a while since I've bought them. Can you get... Can you get... No, it's a stupid question. Don't worry.

What if you're allergic? I'm allergic. Yeah. Some people are. To the latex ones. Yeah. So can you get them over the counter or... What do you need, a leather one?

No, they can get ones with no latex in them. Oh, they wouldn't be funded though, would they? No. Typical. Right. Well, thank you for bringing that to our attention. That's all right. New Zealand is in the grips of the great unflavoured condom shortage of 2019.

Your boyfriend, when he rolls in and you go, do you want strawberry or chocolate? And he goes, are you trying to tell me something? Brie and Clint, the podcast. We'll talk about The Simpsons for a second and their ability to seemingly predict the future. You've seen this, right? Yeah, this has been around for years and years where they have something on an episode and

then years later it comes true. Yeah. The person who does the voice of Lisa Simpson, her name is Yardley Smith. She's been Lisa for 30 years. I think she might be the only ever Lisa. What other voices does she do? Does she do any others? Oh, she would.

They all do heaps of them. I'm not 100% sure. Like Nancy Cartwright, she does like 15. She's Bart, eh? She's Bart and a bunch of other people. What's her name? Yardley Smith. Y-E-A-R-D-L-E-Y Smith.

You keep going, I'll look. She spoke about the most famous Simpsons prediction, which was predicting that Donald Trump would become president. So in the year 2000, they put out an episode called Bart to the Future. Okay. In which they talk about living in a post-Trump world where he's been president. Lisa becomes president. That's right.

Yeah, I remember this episode. Yeah. Lisa's the president. Milhouse is the secretary of state or something. And they say this. As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump. How bad is it, Secretary Van Houten? We're broke.

The country is broke. And then, of course, 15 years later, Donald Trump becomes President of the United States. Crazy, eh? So that's the biggest one. And to be honest, obviously when they were writing that episode, never in their wildest dreams

would that have even been a potential maybe. You're right. You're right. And that's what they've said to her. They said, how did The Simpsons predict that? Yardley Smith, the voice of Lisa, said the writers literally thought, what is the silliest, most outrageous, dumbest idea for a president that we can think of?

And they're like, oh, Donald Trump. And they picked Donald Trump. Which 15 years later just goes even further to go, oh, what a weird through the looking glass world we live in where he is the president. There's some other ones where the Simpsons have predicted the future as well.

In 2012 when Lady Gaga did a performance in Springfield hanging from mid-air at a stadium, they reckon that was when the Simpsons predicted Lady Gaga's Super performance in Springfield hanging from mid-air at a stadium, they reckon that was when the Simpsons predicted Lady Gaga's Super Bowl performance. They reckon the comparisons between those two are really strong. Do you remember the tobacco episode when they have the tomato plants that have got tobacco inside them? No.

And the Simpsons go farming and they're growing tobacco plants? No, I don't remember that episode. Well, there's a guy who saw that and then was inspired to create nicotine infused tomatoes. So that one's less predicting the future. I was going to say, yeah, but he's just got the idea from the episode. Yeah, but anyway, that comparison is there. Isn't there one with Mike Tyson in it? They have a Mike Tyson type character. Yeah, there's like some comparison where they predicted something Mike Tyson was going to do or something.

In 1994, lunch lady Doris was caught serving the students of Springfield Elementary horse meat. Oh, gosh. Nine years later, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland found horse DNA in one third of beef burgers served at school lunches. Yeah, obviously they got the idea from The Simpsons as well. Yeah. And the other one where they predicted the future.

There's heaps of them, but these are kind of the biggest ones. Remember the three-eyed fish on The Simpsons? Yep. That lives in the river by the nuclear power plant? Yes, it's orange. That was in 1990 that episode came out. In the year 2000, a three-eyed fish was found in a reservoir in Argentina and the reservoir itself was fed by a nuclear power plant.

So I think what we're learning is not only does The Simpsons predict the future, The Simpsons predicts the worst parts of the future. Yeah, literally, I mean. The Simpsons just predicts bad news, which, I mean, at least... Can't wait to watch it tonight. Yeah, right.
