Hi everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. Does anyone on Instagram ever do that annoying thing where it says that you've got inbox messages but then they're not there and you're trying to find them and then, oh don't worry I found them, they're in my other inbox. I was going to say that in the general one, the primary one. I hate when you get the notification where it's like this message has been deleted. Have you got that? It's one of the ones that gets vetted and you push the wrong thing and then it's gone. No, where someone...

Oh, where they sent you something and then they've deleted it. Yes. And then it gives you the notification. I'm like, can you just not give me the notification? What a tease. Because then I'm going to wonder what it was. Anyway, we're all here. And Ben said before the show today that he had some audio that he'd like to bring to the podcast intro oh

yeah i forgot about that yeah so welcome producer ben thanks mate uh the only man with a mustache still after movember that's true yeah i won't show you you're an all year round mustache can i just say also i got thoroughly roasted on my own instagram for the whole month of movember by people saying ben'sache was better than mine and I think it was I think your moustache was but I thought because it was my Instagram

they might be more forgiving they might go nah Clint this is your Instagram we love your moustache obviously people are honest on your Instagram thousands of votes

and it was like 87% Ben nice although does it make you feel better remember that time I did my dad's moustache or producer Ben's?

Yeah. My dad's slaughtered producer Ben. Yeah, well, he's got 50 years on me. Yeah. Clint's got 30. I don't know if he's got 50 years on you. How old do you think my dad is? I'm not 30 years older than you, by the way.

He's 15 years older. I'm not. Suck my... I did have some audio, though. Over the weekend, I've been putting together Oh this is exciting, all the special edition summer podcasts Oh yeah, give it a plug on here, this is where people are going to know about it So over summer there'll be some special edition podcasts

Like the Mama Die edition, the Birthday Banger edition, Friday Okie edition What else? 420 edition Is there a 420 edition? Is there a sexy podcast edition? There is a sexy, there's a not safe for work one And that might be it Is there one sexy podcast edition? There is a sexy, there's a not safe for work one and that might be it. Is there one

specifically for relaxing at the beach? No, but do we do that kind of content on our show? Is there a things we shouldn't have never have said on the show podcast? That's probably under the not safe for work. So don't listen to this because you'll get in trouble. Right, right. Anyway, so I've been hunting through

all this audio for the past year, and I found a piece of audio that was said by Bree on the show the second day we started. So it was the 15th of January. Oh, yeah. Of this year. Yeah. And you said something that I was like, oh, that's random.

Oh, here we go. I feel a stitch up. No, it's fine. That's all good. So you've been wanting to change the Bree and Clint Facebook fan group. Yeah. Turns out you already had a name for it 10 months ago. Did I?

I want to let the BNC family in on a bit of behind the scenes. Oh, have they got a new name? Yeah, the BNC family. The BNC family? Yeah, the Bree and Clint family. BNC. Yeah, BNC. You've got to check that these days with initials and stuff,

you've got to check that it doesn't mean something rude at the same time. Yeah. I don't know if it does, but. Lucky your name isn't James, you know? Why? Oh. You know? Would you like to change it now?

I mean, B and C could stand for balls and cock. Boobs and cock. Yeah, boobs and cock. What else? Boobies and clitoris. B and C both a lot of words attached to it that are quite X-rated. I like what you've found. Yeah, just thought, you know, if she wants to change it, there's an opportunity.

I just think it's a bit vanilla. That's all. I mean, it'd be a lot easier to bloody find than what it is now, wouldn't it? What is it at the moment? I don't even know, to be honest. Every time you ask me the question, it's not even a case of that I hate it. I can't tell you because it's so bloody long. You can't remember even though your name's in it.

Like, this is such a selfless thing that I've done. Yeah, true. Naming the podcast group after you. And not once have you thanked me. Yeah, it's such a nice thing. Not once have you said, hey, Clint. So nice. I appreciate what you did for me by making.

You know what happened to me on the weekend? Alan, Big A Gorgeous Al, one of my besties who's on this show quite a lot, his dad messaged me because he's a big fan of the Big Bang Theory. And I wonder why he messaged me. Because he knows you're a big fan? Yeah, he knows you're a big fan. Now he thinks I'm a big fan. So the joke is over.

Get the music while she's talking. No, don't get the music. For those who are looking for that group and want to join it, it's actually our podcast group, but it's called, as a tribute to my friend Bree, who I love, the Bree Thomasel Big Bang Theory Fan Club. See, you don't even know it! Bazinga.

Sorry, I can't hear you anymore. Oh, this gag was so funny like the tenth time. And then now it's just so funny. Can you sing the words? Anyway, I'm just saying there's an opportunity there. If you want to change, you can. Otherwise, I say keep it. I say keep it. I say keep it.

I say we're definitely changing it before the end, before we do our last show this year. It's true. That's so long away. You say that, and yet you still haven't changed it. I can't. I'm not an admin. We'll do it.

We'll do it. Enjoy the podcast, everybody. Have a great time. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Have a great time Bye Zed in Zed in Let's go

Now let me see you dance Zed in Brie and Clint Woo Kia ora everybody Brie and Clint Happy Monday Happy second day of summer

Happy second day of legally being allowed to put up your Christmas tree in the court of Brie Thomasel And all the other Christmas grinches who didn't want them up in November. Oh, mate. Don't be so sad about it. I'm just saying, like, can we put them up now? Is that okay with you? Is it all right if we put our trees up now? Yeah, premature Christmas decorating is fine now.

In December, you're good to go. Yeah, right. Well, thanks very much. Appreciate it. Well, says you, the Christmas Grinch, who said, oh, I'm not going to put up a Christmas tree. I can't put up a Christmas tree. Okay I'm not going to put up a Christmas tree. I can't put up a Christmas tree, okay? I would love to put up a Christmas tree.

I can't because I've got two rambunctious cats, okay? Also, you call me a Grinch. You tell everyone your view on Christmas presents. Oh, cancel them. Cancel Christmas presents. Because you said, I'm just going to buy anything I want for myself anyway. 100%. I'm an adult with a job. That is not what Christmas is about.

It's more economical to buy yourself what you want. No, it's about the thoughtfulness that goes into buying something for someone. I find the presents admin and laborious and what I want for Christmas. That's how romantic I want everybody to get together. Everybody just get together. Let's spend the money on food.

Let's spend the money on booze. Let's spend the money on, I don't know. Presents are fun. Oh God, I feel... Let's get a bouncy castle. What about your bloody beautiful daughter?

You're not going to buy her a gift too, you big Grinch? She won't remember it. She's only four months old. So you're not going to buy her a gift? No, I think we are

going to get her a present. I think we're going to get her... What about next year? Can I say what we're going to get her? She's only four months.. So you're not going to buy her a gift? No, I think we are going to get her a present. I think we're going to get her... Can I say what we're going to get her? She's only four months. I can say that. She won't know. We're going to get her a zoo pass. That's a good, that's a cute present. She'd probably just rather some bubble wrap, to be honest. She loves crepe paper. Yeah. Like I'm not...

She's like a cat. You can buy whatever you want. She'd prefer the box over the actual thing inside it. She'll love the wrapping. No, I think a zoo pass is a cute present. You can buy her whatever you want. She'd prefer the box over the actual thing inside it. She'll love the wrapping. No, I think a zoo pass is a cute present. I mean, she can go to the zoo whenever she wants. In the next how long? For a whole year.

Oh, she's not going to remember that. She's not even one. Well, this is my point. She's not going to remember anything. I could buy her a ride-on, like, G-Wagon, and she won't remember that either. She will remember that. She will when it crashes into the...

That's a lifetime of fun for a kid. Hey, today on the show, a little bit of star power for you. We're joined by Dua Lipa on the show. We love Dua Lipa on this show. We love her. She's going to be on at 4.30. We've got a game to play with her. Yes, and to promote this song, which we're loving.

It's great. Also, what else is on the show? Top 100 movies of the decade. Oh, yeah. As we draw closer to, obviously, the end of a decade. I've got to whittle down what I think my favourite movie is of the decade. Yeah, it's very difficult, but a list has been done, and we'll bring you the top 10.

Next on the show, though, if you need to feel a bit better about yourself for a Monday morning, you can do that. It's afternoon. Oh, afternoon. I hope that might have made you feel better. Oh, I quit. What's in your head? Bree and Clint, the podcast.

ZM. You know when you hear that someone else has done something dumb and you feel better by association? Like by comparison? No, usually I just be like, yeah, no, I've done that before. Oh, right. Well, welcome to the studio, producer Ellie, who I believe has one of these stories for us. I do.

Yeah. I've cost the flat a bit of money here. How much? So, look, I'll tell the story. um basically what happened was a few weeks ago our range hood in the kitchen stopped working the thing that sucks all the air out you know when you cook it all the steam the steam and stuff i don't think those things really do that much you don't think range hoods do much well pretty superfluous okay well i did that it they're not that's how I feel when I turn it on

I'm like is this thing sucking anything you might have the same problem that Ellie had yeah maybe maybe okay so you got

your range hood is not working yeah and I'm missing it because I find that it does help a bit and so I had to I'm a tenant so I've had to

contact the landlord and say hey the range is on she's such a contractor. He's come around last week to look at it. Yeah, but how good is it that you don't have to do any of that? It's great, actually. That's the good thing about a tenant.

That's the best part about renting. I know. But I felt bad because I'd done all this admin for everyone. I got everyone involved. And then he came on Friday. And within 10 minutes of being there, he calls me. And he's like, hey, Alyssa, what exactly was the issue with the range hood? I was like, oh, it just doesn't turn on.

It's just not working. Stopped working. Yeah. Fuse or something. Yeah, that's what I thought. Or something technical. No, no. He goes, oh, well, you know that just over behind your toaster

and behind the breadboards there that you've covered, there's actually an on switch there that's been off for three weeks. It's turned off at the wall. Yeah, no, it's just turned off at the wall. And because it was our fault, we've had to pay the call out for absolutely no reason whatsoever right before Christmas.

So that was fun. How much were you talking? It was a hundred bucks for the call out. So it's not huge, but it's quite a lot. So are you covering that is my question? The other flatmates didn't find the switch either. So huge, but it's quite a lot. So are you covering that is my question. The other flatmates didn't find the switch either.

So I mean, it's all of us. Oh, that's a great point. Yeah. Who's covering it? Well, we're splitting it. We're splitting it. I think.

Man, you've got nice flatmates if you're going to split it. Because if you had identified the fault, I'd say you're in charge of the range hood. Okay, Ellie, you got this one. Because you're not going to have a flat meeting where you all gather around the stove and go,

all right, before we contact anybody, does everybody agree that we need a service technician? Yeah. Yeah, no, we all did agree, though. They were like, yeah, get them round, because they couldn't figure it out either. Yeah, well, you've told them that it's broken. Yeah, no, I have.

It's my fault, really, isn't it? The exact same thing happened in my flat. The internet went dead and we were all like, oh, those bloody internet providers. I tell you, you can never rely on them. And we were all like, you know, absolutely going off our rocker. We ended up getting someone out to come have a look and they go, yeah, someone's knocked the cord

out of the back of the motor. That's good. I do feel better after that. Thanks, Ellie. And they're like, and that'll be $250 for the cord. That's good. I do feel better after that. Thanks, Ellie. And they're like, and that'll be $250 for the cooler. How good's your internet now, though? Oh, it's so quick. And how good's that range hood?

So good. Better now that it's turned on, yeah. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. God, I mean, I can't believe we're already 20 minutes into the show, Bree, and I haven't even wished you a happy Cyber Monday yet. Happy Cyber Monday. Yeah. Happy Cyber Monday yet happy Cyber Monday happy Cyber Monday thank you

jeez we need to get we really need to get a less aggressive robot one that's not neutralising the humans every time we activate it Cyber Monday I didn't even realise Cyber Monday was a thing until yesterday a friend of mine who I was talking to about a robot vacuum oh more robots i was talking to them about getting

one of those you know those little you know a roomba thing a roomba that's my dream now i want a roomba um i was like oh i'm looking at this one have you seen any good one and he goes mate why don't you wait for tomorrow for a good deal on cyber monday And Cyber Monday, I've found out, for those who don't know, is the Black Friday of internet sales. See, I was thinking it was something else. No. It sounds like that, though. I think that happens on Cyber Saturdays.

Oh, and Cyber Sundays. And Cyber Sundays. Sunday is a good Cyber Sunday. That's not what I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about sales. It's after Black Friday, which was last not what I'm talking about, though. I'm talking about sales. So, yeah, that's on today. It's after Black Friday, which was last week. Here's the catch, though.

New Zealand Cyber Monday this year, so where prices come down, has fallen on the day where prices across the board for online shopping in New Zealand are going up. So enacted, is that the word for it? A law enacted today is a law that means GST is going to be added to all overseas purchases. What, is that just for today or is that for from now on? For now on, yeah.

So in the past where you could go to like Sterling Sports, look at some shoes and go, those are nice, try them on, and then go home to the internet and order them from somewhere else overseas that has free shipping and get them a bit cheaper. They're trying to do away with that. So now all purchases. Oh, joy. All purchases from overseas.

So excited for that. Yeah. It's kind of fair. Is it? Yeah, because if you're a New Zealand business, you have to pay GST. Like, you have to pay it. It's a tax that you can't get around.

Whereas up until now, businesses overseas are able to send their stuff in cheap and flout the GST rules. That's what I'm about. You're great for you and I. Saving the money. Great for you and I. Yeah, but we're paying GST on everything else. Yep.

Well, you are now, especially. Oh, but we're paying taxes. Don't get me started on the taxes. Yeah, well, now you're paying tax on this too. No, but I don't want to pay tax. I just want to get a good deal every now and then. Well, you can because it's Cyber Monday, but then also the price has gone up by 15%. That's it. GST is

15%, by the way, so that's the increase that's going on. That's a lot. Yeah, it's quite a bit. No, it is a lot. It's $15 in every hundred. Yeah. It's a lot more. And New Zealand's already bloody expensive. Yeah, well maybe you need to do less online shopping, mate. You've got a problem anyway, so maybe this is a good thing.

That's why I guess I'm so, like, butthurt over it because I do a lot of shopping online. It's like a deterrent. It's like every Christmas when they put the price of ciggies up and then hit less and less smokers. There's less and less smokers every year. Maybe that's what will happen to you. What, less and less people buying stuff online?

Yeah. No, I'm just going to do what I do every year. What's that? And go to a real expensive shop And put heaps of stuff in my shopping cart And then close the window and go Sike! I'm going to flag this conversation with

We don't think it's true This is all rumour And it is a thread It's a Reddit thread Trending on Reddit. So I don't think it's true. This is what happens with the internet though is things can go viral and get way out of hand.

And it's been forwarded to us. So we'll just. It's not a very nice joke if it is a joke. If it is a joke, it's not very nice at all. So there is a screenshot of a WhatsApp message going around, which appears to be a group conversation between like the Queen's Guard. Yes, which is all the people that obviously protect the Queen. And the message at the top of the group, the screenshot of the messages,

the one at the top of the messages says, the Queen passed away this morning from a heart attack, being announced at 9.30 a.m. tomorrow. And then it goes through all the details of what's required of the guard to bring to the – to be wearing – The announcement. The issue is that the guy's WhatsApp profile picture is a – Mail appendage.

It's a wanger. If you believe this, honestly, come on. So even the next message in the WhatsApp group, so that's a guy called Gibbo, and then the next message in the WhatsApp group from a guy called Ricey says, yeah, balls, this has to be a wind-up. I think it's a wind-up. Gibbo, the man who posted the original message, says,

not sure, mate, just got it passed to me. They did keep the Queen Mother's death quiet for 24 hours, though. And then Ricey has replied and said, I've texted a guy in the guards there. I'll keep you posted. And then the screenshot's cut off. So you actually can't see if he's replied. So Twitter and Reddit, as you would expect,

are going bonkers with this at the moment. But again, the main profile picture of the man who has broken what he says is the news is a... Man's pee peepee. Hmm. So we'll just leave it at that. Again. I don't,

from all that evidence, I don't believe it. I don't believe it to be true. It could, she's, she's, she's very, very old and it is going to,

it is going to happen one day. And when it does happen, it will be, um, it'll be terrible. She's been the one constant in that country for over half a century. She's 93. Exactly. Right. Um, but judging by the evidence on hand, uh, It'll be terrible. She's been the one constant in that country for over half a century. She's 93.

Exactly right. But judging by the evidence on hand, when you get this rumor, I would do some fact-checking for yourself before you jump to any conclusions. Mainly the profile picture. I don't know if the Queen's Guard would be having that as his profile picture. You know what? That's also a very good point. It could be his big hat, though. No, that's not a big hat, mate.

It's something else. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Marie, how many days till Christmas? 23 days until Christmas and you didn't ask, but it's 132 days until Easter. Oh, okay. Easter's not really on my radar at the moment.

334 days until Halloween. Okay, yeah. And I know we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but it's another 360 days. How far off is Armistice Day at the moment? Armistice Day is about 283. God, you're a wealth of knowledge, aren't you? There are 10 remaining shows for us for the year.

We will finish on Friday the 13th. Oh, I didn't think about that. That's lucky for me, can I say. Is it? Yeah, our family has 13 as a real lucky number. Really? Yeah. Are you a family of witches?

Maybe. So each day before the end of the year, our producers, Ben and Ellie, are scrapbooking the year and highlighting some stuff that have gone down on this show. Ah, once upon a time, earlier this year, previous to now, Bree and Clint's 2019 scrapbook. Page two.

After the summer holidays this year, Bree came back with some bad news. So here at ZM, we get a work phone. Yes. We all get work phones and Spark, which are the best company in New Zealand. I love them. We don't get a bill and we don't have to pay for our iPhone. Which is great. There is on occasion, if you use too much data on your phone, you can get an email saying...

Throttle it back. Yeah. Yeah. So over the holiday break, I went to Aussie, didn't organise what phone I was going to use, and I used my work phone on global roaming for a whole month. So we decided to call Spark and get to the bottom of it. Hey, I was wondering if you could just help me calculate some global roaming data charges. Yep.

So I've got my friend Bree here. Hi there. Hi. She knows someone who might have used their phone in Australia over Christmas. Yep. And they used how much data? 35 gigs. But if you didn't purchase any add-ons, you get charged on casual rate.

So one gigabyte will be $50. Yeah, so 50 times how many gig did you use again? 35. So we're looking at $1,750 of data charges. Oh, yeah. Oh, phew. Oh, no, Ellie. It gets much worse.

Now we go back to January 21st when Brie Thomasale finds out her actual phone bill amount. Today, we get an email from someone in the company who looks after these things. Very high up. Who says, no, no, that's not your bill. We've just received your bill. It's just stating that you managed to chew through 35 gigs of data whilst roaming.

It says, without roaming packs applied to my SIM card. Wait, wait, this deserves a drum roll. Are we getting the amount? The cost is approximately... $11,000. Shish kebab. Wait. No, no way.

No way. No way. Wait, wait, everyone is shocked. $11,000. No way. Wait, wait. Everyone is in shock. $11,000. Everyone settle down for a second. The email then goes on to say, I managed to use an NZB record for the most packs ever used on global roaming.

And it still costs $680. Wow. $11,000. Congratulations. That is honestly, seriously, standard innovation. I've learnt my lesson. $11,000. Tune in tomorrow for another page of Brian Clint's 2019 scrapbook.

You know, I completely blanked that part of the history out. Me too. Did we really have to recap that piece of information? $11,000. Like, it's actually impressive. So, you and you go home on December 14 this year. What's your plan? I haven't thought about it, actually.

No, I mean, what's your mobile plan? Like, what mobile plan are you going to use? That's what I mean. I haven't thought about it. I just thought I'd use some global roaming. Can I make a suggestion? Swing through the Telstra kiosk on your way back to Stanford. Might buy a sim card.

Yeah, sounds good. Brace yourselves, everyone, because we're about to talk about periods. There's a story that is making news over in Japan and around the world now, actually, because a Japanese department store, this was last week, this happened, they were implementing this plan which they're now reconsidering because people aren't happy about it where they asked female employees to wear badges whilst Aunt Flo was in town.

Oh, no, you can't do that. It's 2019. You can't. Oh, no, you can't do that. It's 2019. You can't. Well, they said. You can't ask the ladies of the office to identify themselves during. Just wear red, ladies. Wear red when you're on your monthlies. No, they're saying that it was actually aimed at fostering sympathy

among co-workers. Right. Which they're saying that it's done the opposite and it seems creepy and a little bit crazy. Is that what you guys, because I'm trying to, like as a feminist, I'm trying to better understand your needs. Yes. Is that what you guys want during that week?

Do you want sympathy? Look, I don't really particularly want to announce to the office. I don't want to walk into the office when I get here at ZM and go, everyone, I am riding the crimson wave this week do you want the men of the office to come and pat you on the shoulder and go oh bro you someone got so tummy yeah actually probably not no you know um so yeah which i mean they're rethinking it now but because because that might be something they're just saying now. That they're going, we were trying to help. We were trying to make some sympathy for them.

Which, you know what, I can understand it. Yeah, but was it because you also automatically go, you were just trying to see where the grumpy woman were at. Well, yeah, just trying to, you know, identify the places where you could avoid. Be like, no, avoid Cheryl. Stay out of linen this week, everybody. The painters are in with Cheryl today.

Don't go over there. You know, which I thought we could play a game this afternoon because I don't really understand why it's such a taboo topic. I get why this is a bit off, that story. I don't think that's right. And maybe this isn't right either. The game that we're about to play? Yeah.

But we're asking people, and if you want to play, you can call. And are we going to say free fuel for anyone that stumps us? Sure. Okay. Explain the game first. Okay, the game is you have to call in 0800DIALZM and sorry, only females can play this game. And we're just going to guess whether you're having a red wedding this week.

Is that really what we're going to do? Yeah. That's what we're going to use the airtime for? Yeah. We're going to guess if... Well, it's about time females got rewarded. All right, no, I'm not arguing. Okay, like I'm going to stand here and argue on 2019.

Hey, look at the phone lines. All the ladies want to play. They're like, free fuel. I'm in for that. All right, we'll play that game next. You can tell the producers if you are or if you aren't, and then you and I will guess, mate. Can't wait.

It's going to be good. ZDM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Welcome to our new game show. Are you riding the crimson wave this week? It's the first ever time we've done this. Clint's excited about it. Is this really what women want in 2019? Well... I mean, I'm here to help. I'm here

to be an ally. I'm progressive, baby, but is this what ladies want from... No. But you can win a prize this afternoon. It's about time we got rewarded for having Ant flow in town. Okay. You know? First ever game show for getting rewarded for that. Explain the fundamental rules of are you riding the Crimson Wave or not?

All right, that's the name of the game. And we've got three contestants who have all previously told our producers whether or not Red Stroganoff's in town. No, you're really reaching with these analogies now. They're meant to be clever. That's pretty good. No, it's not. What about are you ordering Moroccan meatballs this week?

No. So we've got the information already, right? Yeah, so they've locked it in with the producers. The producers know if it's a yes or if it's a no, and you and I just have to guess, but they can trick us if they want to. Maddie, welcome to the most progressive game on radio. Hello, Maddie. Hello.

Are you loving this, Maddie, that you can win a prize? I hope so. Now, you have pre-lodged the correct answer with our producers. We don't know it, and now it's our chance to guess. Yep. Okay, Maddie, is she riding the Cotton Clydesdale this week? That's the question. Oh, I'm so uncomfortable.

Why are you so uncomfortable? Because of the words you're using. You've got a wife. It's a completely natural thing. I know. If only he knew. Exactly. I was going to say, Maddie, you're uncomfortable.

Maddie, I'm proud of you for playing, okay? It's just when people use terms like Cotton Clydesdale, I don't know where the line is in this situation, okay? In fact, I'm going to sit it out until the guess is lodged. All right, Maddie. Are you having – did you have a nice weekend? Say that again, sorry? Have you had a nice weekend, Maddie?

Average. What did you have for dinner last night? Ice cream. Oh, if I know red weddings, Clint, I'm going to say Aunt Flo's in town. Maddie, is Aunt Flo in town? No. Oh, damn it!

You tricked us, so you get free mobile fuel. Congratulations. Is that how the game works? Am I getting it correct? Okay, let's play again. Brogan's here. Hi, damn it. You tricked us, so you get free mobile fuel. Congratulations. Is that how the game works? Am I getting it correct? Okay, let's play again. Brogan's here. Hi, Brogan. G'day, Brogan.

Hi. All right, now we have to guess whether Liverpool is playing a home game this week for Brogan. Do they wear red? Yeah. Brogan, all right, give her your qualifying question. You need to get involved in this game. Come on. Okay, Brogan. You her your qualifying question. You need to get involved in this game. Come on. Okay, Brogan.

You've got a wife. Brogan, have you taken any Nurofen today? Yes. Then I'm going to say yes. No, why are you getting out of this game so quick? Because I'm uncomfortable. You imagine being us. I'm uncomfortable.

Brogan, am I correct? Is it here? It is not. You also win mobile fuel. Congratulations. So we're two from three. Not good so far. Yeah, Destiny's here.

We can get out of this with at least one win. Destiny, hi. Hello, how are you? Destiny, have the English landed this week is the question. The English wear white. They're white and red. Destiny, how much Whittaker's chocolate do you have in the cupboard

at the moment? How much? Well, I work for Cadbury, so none. Oh, God. You're the best person to know if the painters are in. Destiny,

can you help me please? don't leave me out here on my own destiny would you say on a scale of one to ten um how moody have you been in the last couple of days not really moody no not really moody yeahody. Yeah, but some people aren't. Some people are completely fine. That's true. I think that was quite a moody response to her, to you. I think she was moody that you asked her that question. I reckon she's trying to double cross us. There's no way three women called

who are not to play Are You Yeah, but would people call if they were? Yeah, if they wanted free fuel because they could use that voucher to buy chocolate at mobile. Are we saying she's riding the Crimson Wave? Yeah, we're saying she is, yeah. All right, we're saying you are. I am.

We got one. We got one. Give her fuel. She deserves it. And there wraps the first ever game of... Are you riding the Crimson Wave? Oh, Christ. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM., Christ. Bree and Clint, the podcast.

ZM. ZM, Bree and Clint, that was Dua Lipa. And on the phone right now, this is Dua Lipa. Hi, Dua. G'day. Hi, guys. How are you guys doing? Mate, how do you keep releasing all these bloody bangers?

I tell you what, every time you release a song, I'm like, first listen, I'm into it. Wow, thank you so much. Thank you. I tell you what, every time you release a song, I'm like, first listen, I'm into it. Wow, thank you so much. Thank you. I appreciate that. Congratulations on the brand new track, Don't Start Now. We love it here in New Zealand. I'm obsessed. It's fantastic. Bree's not just obsessed with that. She's been obsessed with your music

for a bit. In fact, Dua has helped you through something in the past, hasn't she? Dua, I just gotta actually say thank you. I didn't think I'd get the chance, but thanks for getting me through something in the past, hasn't she? Do I? I just got to actually say thank you. I didn't think I'd get the chance, but thanks for getting me through one of the worst breakups I've been through last year. I had your album literally on blast for about a month and it got me through, so I appreciate that.

Oh, wow. Well, I appreciate you listening. I guess that's really what I make music for. I'm grateful to have helped, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. Oh, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Hey, we don't want to take up too much of your time.

You have to get back to Paradise. Do you want to play a game with us today, Dua Lipa? Yeah, let's play a game. We'll play a real quick game with you. We've come up with this game where we know that you tour constantly, and obviously you have to sing your amazing songs all the time. And we thought we'd play a game where we could play the first second of a bunch of songs.

We're going to do five. And you just need to tell us whether it's one of your songs or it's someone else's. Oh, my God. All right. Are you okay with that? I mean, it could be quite humiliating for you if you think a Bruno Mars song is your song.

It could be quite humiliating, but I think I'm pretty well with her. I reckon you'll go all right, but it's literally we've got the first second of your song. I think it'll be quite humiliating, but I think I'm pretty well rehearsed. I reckon you'll go all right, but it's literally, we've got the first second of a song. Yeah, okay. Here's the first one. You just have to tell us, is this your song or somebody else's?

That's Hotter Than Hell. That's my song. Oh, you found it. Don't be too gracious with your praise, Bree. She should get that. Yeah, well, she probably should. She's sung it quite a few times. Second one, is this your song or someone else's?

Oh, my God. Do you want it one more time? Give it to her one more time. I think that's someone else's. Yeah, but whose is it? I don't. That is not part of the game. No, this is a new category.

Whose is it? You can't make up rules as we go. If you get that correct. No, absolutely not. You can't make up rules as we go. If you get that correct. No, absolutely not. You can't make rules up as we go along. That's not my song but I have no idea

who's it is. Dua Lipa's like, this is bullshit. I'm calling you out. If you can get it, you get a free trip to New Zealand and the Prime Minister,

Jacinda Ardern, will pick you up from the airport. You want to have a stab in the dark? Probably one of the biggest songs of the year. Oh my God,

is it like Uptown Funk or something? No, it was Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran. songs of the year. Oh, my God. Is it like Uptown Funk or something? No. It was Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran. Not of the year. Oh, my God. Huge. I don't think I would have guessed that.

Okay. Here's another one. This is iconic for me. Yeah, that's my song, Homesick. Oh! You're weirdly quite good at your own songs. This is one of the songs I was talking about, Dua. Oh, this is a tune.

Okay, we're going to get through five. That's three. Thank you. Here's your fourth song. Whose is this? Yours or someone else's? Oh, that's not mine, but that's Lush Life. Oh! Okay, you're three from four.

You're going very well. Can you round it out this afternoon? Here comes number five. Yeah, that's my song. It's Don't Start Now. Of course it is. Incorrect. That was actually Elton John Piano Man.

Billy Joel Piano Man. Oh, God. Don't mess with us. Dua Lipa, we love you, and we're looking forward to you coming back to New Zealand soon. Thanks for talking to us this afternoon. Appreciate it, Dua. Thank you so much for having me.

Appreciate it, guys. Keep giving us those bangers, okay? Thank you. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. ZM Spree and Clint, that's the latest Harry Styles. It's called Watermelon Sugar. I like that a lot. Yes, I do.

No, no. What? This is an accent free zone. I like it a lot. No. It's my Ace Ventura. This is not absolutely fabulous. I like it.

It's not definitely unusual. Anyway, that's my Kath and Kim. Yeah, good. Anyway. Any more? Have you got an Invictus in you or anything? District 9? Mmm, very nice.

Is that awesome? Do you like it, baby? I really like it. Are you doing this because we're talking about movies? I think so. Or are you doing this because you're uncomfortable? I think a bit of both. All right.

I did the first one and I was like, well, you've made your bed, now you line it. I do want to talk about movies. None of those movies are on this list because this list is the top 100 films of the decade. According to who? According to a bunch of people

that did a survey. Oh, right. So it's not like an IMDB list? Yeah, it is, I think. Okay, as it is IMDB. Yeah. And not just because I said that? Yeah, no, it is. Hold on, wait.

Here is the thing here. It's the official movie academy awards list for the best movies. So it's the academy awards list? Yep. No, fine. I don't really care at this stage. On this list, what are the top movies of the decade? I wanted to do, I'm going to give you the top 10, of course,

because what it's all about, but I wanted to do some highlights in the top 100. Sure. Because it's a lot of films, top 100. One of the biggest highlights for me was number 95, and that film was Bridesmaids. Oh. Yeah? Yeah. You remember Bridesmaids. Oh. Yeah?

Yeah. You remember Bridesmaids. Yeah. We've got a clip here from Bridesmaids. Oh, okay. Number two. He's in the toilet! He's in the toilet!

No! Look away! Megan, no! Look away! What did we eat? Come on out of me like lava! That's when she's going number twos on the road. It's where they've all had food poisoning.

Yeah. I feel like, what was it, 90-something? 95. I feel like those light and bright rom-coms get overlooked for how good they are. That movie was one of my all-time favourite comedies ever. I think it was so, like, when you went to see it, because there was no expectation, that's why it was so good. Oh, it's also right in your wheelhouse.

He's in toilet! He's in toilet! No! Look away! Megan, no! Look away! You know, yeah, it's right. It is. Coming at me like lava.

Right on target. Number 84 was Skyfall, of course a 007 film. 73 was one of my all-time favourite films, Moneyball. 62, A Star Is Born, which of course came out last year. 52, this is exciting for all the Kiwis. You might remember this film from... Ricky Baker. He is a bad egg.

A youth court regular. We're hoping that this change of scene will help straighten them out. Ricky Baker. Hunt for the Wilderpeople came in at number 52 of top 100 films of the decade, the last decade. And so it should. It's a fantastic piece of cinema. A recent film as well came in at number 41, Avengers Endgame.

Really? Yeah. I would have thought that movie snobs were too snobby to put an Avengers movie in there. I really enjoyed it. Yeah. No, I thought it was a great film. There was another Avengers film, but it was like later down in the piece. Number 37 was a recent film, Joker.

Number 26, The Wolf of Wall Street. Oh, that movie's so good. Great movie. Great movie. Great movie about a shit person. Yeah, true. And it kind of glorified him a bit. A little bit

Like it made him a bit of a cult figure But Leonardo DiCaprio was incredible in it Yeah he's good It was great So was Margot Robbie actually 15 was Inception Another Leo film I love Inception

Such a good one 13 was Moonlight The first movie I bought on Blu-ray actually Was it? Yeah 10 We're into the top 10 Here we go

Top films of the decade, the past decade. 10 was Gravity. You remember that film with Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Yes, it came in at number 10. Number nine, God, wasn't this an amazing film? Spotlight. Do you remember that?

Spotlight was the investigation into the church. Yes. Yes. True story. Oh, yeah, just chilling. Number eight, I've actually seen this film, Blackfish. It was about, obviously, the killer whales. Oh, that was about SeaWorld.

Yeah, it was about, like, the captivity of, yeah. Whales being kept in captivity. Yeah, exactly right. It was an incredible film. Seven was Blade Runner 2049. Oh, yeah. I haven't seen that because I haven't. Seven was Blade Runner 2049. I haven't seen that because I haven't seen the original Blade Runner. Yeah, neither.

Six was Prisoners. I haven't seen that. Neither. Five was The Raid number two, which I've never seen. I haven't seen that. And that's number five. Yeah. I haven't seen it.

Four is a movie called Whiplash. Oh, Whiplash is fantastic. I haven't seen it. It's about a guy who drums. Oh, cool. It's very, very good. Sweet. Well, that came in at number four for the top movies of the decade, the past decade.

Number three was Warrior. Have you seen that? Warrior. No. I haven't seen it either. How have we not seen the third best film of the decade? I'm going to say most of us would have seen the top two. Okay.

Number two for the top movies of the past decade was Mad Max Fury Road. Yes. Yes. There's someone here at ZDM who thinks that that's not a good movie. It's a great movie. Her name is Georgia, and tomorrow between 10 and 3, can you text her and tell her how good Mad Max Fury Road is, please? She will love it.

9696. And we've got a bit of audio here from the top movie voted as the best of the decade. You might remember this film. Stole our whole goddamn idea. Fellas, Match.com for Harvard, guys. Can I continue with my deposition? You know, you really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook.

The social network coming in at number one for the best movie of the past decade. It's all Mark Zuckerberg needs is another boost for his ego. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Trash. All treasure. All right, we play this every Monday, and all you have to do is tell us whether the item that you hear about

is worth under 5K or over 5k. Yeah, last week we had a case of someone who really overthought the game, didn't they? Yeah, don't overthink it too much. Just go with your gut is my advice to you. Courtney, hi. Hi, Court. Hi. Hi, how are you?

Good. So if you get two out of three right, Courtney, we'll hook you up with some free mobile fuel, okay? Nice. Okay, perfect. Here comes your first item. This is an original donkey kong cat nice the board's original it's got original monitor and original joystick i do have some

sentimental value with the game i mean it's a neat piece it's a good conversation piece i just need to get something that makes more sense in my life an original donkey Donkey Kong arcade game. What do you think? Oh, I would go Treasure. Treasure, looking in Treasure. Over 5K, we're looking in Treasure. $600 to $800. Oh.

Yeah, I would have thought it would have been over that too. It's an original, not the original. I think that's the key in this. It's just an old school gaming machine but it looks pretty old yeah but five grand you're gonna pay more than five thousand dollars for that maybe for elvis pinball machine um okay here comes your second item good luck courtney cool bazooka toy i mean it looks very real for it being a toy you know about what year it was i think it was about 50 years ago, like the early 60s, something like that. This would have been on

everybody's Christmas list in 1962. Piece of plastic, an old toy. It's a bazooka, toy bazooka from the 60s. Oh, I feel like I want to say it's trash, but I'm like, is this one of those tricks? You know what I mean?

My advice to you at the start still stands, Courtney. Go with your gut, okay? I'm want to say it's trash, but I'm like, is this one of those tricks? You know what I mean? My advice to you at the start still stands, Courtney. Go with your gut, okay? I'm going to say it's trash. All right, locking in trash under 5K. Pushing it a little bit, but you could ask 500 for this piece. Nice. Trust your gut. Always trust your gut.

Well done. All right, you need this one to take home the fuel. Item number three. I got Ronald Reagan's senior yearbook and a letter that's signed by Reagan. Did he sign the yearbook at all? No, there's no signatures at all in the yearbook. So where did you get this stuff?

The yearbook was my grandpa's. He went to school with Ronald Reagan. Of the one person in the whole year they spelled his name wrong, the one that ends up being the president. The original celebrity president, Ronald Reagan. His yearbook, but it's not

signed. Oh, it wasn't signed. Oh, no. Do people like him? I don't know. He was pretty well liked, wasn't he, Reagan? He was an actor. I believe this is correct. He was a Hollywood actor and then he decided to become president. His wife was really popular.

That's Nancy Reagan. Yeah. What do you reckon? So it's a yearbook that's not signed by him. Exactly right. But he's in it. But it's his actual yearbook from when he went to high school. Oh, no. Oh, okay.

Let's just go. I'm going to say trash. All right. Locking in trash. Is the yearbook worth under $5,000? Retail $2,500, $3,000. Really? Yeah. How about their trash. All right. Locking in trash. Is the yearbook worth under $5,000? Retail $2,500, $3,000. Really? Yeah.

How about the rates? She's got it. Woo! Well done, Courtney. You're a winner. Thank you. Nice work. Producer Ben, was that three trash items this week?

Is that what we did? Three trash? Yeah, which I like to mix up. You just don't know what you're going to get. You just don't know. Also, they're getting worse, the items, and really hard to find. I didn't mind that one. Behind the scenes, Ben is going out of his mind with this game.

What's harder to make at the moment? This or Janina versus Pop Diva? Well, there's no Janina left on the internet. It's probably that. That's right, mate. Breathe. It's almost Christmas, okay? That's true.

New games next year. And Courtney, we've got Mobile Fuel coming your way. Congratulations. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. We were having a conversation earlier today where I said to you, Clint, I was like, oh, some stuff is going down in my family at the moment. Always around this time of the year, the siblings, me, my sister and my brother, we always start a group chat and we always start talking

about presents, who's buying for who, that kind of, you know. For Christmas. That typical chat. And it is Christmas because it is the 2nd of December. And an interesting conversation got brought up this year because usually in our family to, you know, because it's not all about the gifts and they can get quite expensive.

Between our siblings, we do a thing where we each buy one gift and then we swap every year for who you buy that for. It's a great idea. Yeah. After you told me about it, I implemented it into my family. It's a good idea, right? Because there's four kids in my family. So you can't buy a really good gift for everyone. We don't need to buy four.

We don't need to be buying everybody a gift. So I said, okay, I'll do a roster and we'll basically do sibling secret Santa. Yeah. And we buy one gift for one other person and everyone gets a gift. Exactly. Sure, my brother got me an IOU voucher for a meat hamper. Yeah, but you won't get him this year. I'm a vegetarian.

Well, that's not the best, but I'm saying you'll get someone different buying for you this year. Yeah, that's the rotation policy. Which is good, right? And obviously, instead of getting four crappy gifts or four average gifts. You can concentrate them into one. Yeah, you get one actual gift that you're probably going to use. Anyway, in the group chat, my sister said, because she got married recently, and she goes, should we include Simon in the sibling present Secret Santa?

Well, technically he is your brother-in-law. Yes. Yeah. And I was like, I didn't say anything. And then my brother said, no, my sister also said, and should Aidan, my brother's new girlfriend, be included in the sibling secret Santa? Oh, no, that's different.

She's not married into the family. But why should marriage be the thing? What if they'd been together longer than my sister and her husband? Okay, maybe it is a time thing. Is it a time thing? They've only been together less than a year. Yeah, they've been together, yeah, less than a year. Yeah.

I say that with love because I'm thinking of her as well. She doesn't want to be, maybe she doesn't want to be dragged into some awkward sibling. Why does she want to buy your sister a present? She barely even knows your sister. That's the thing. And then what if she gets my brother in the Secret Santa? She just buys him her boyfriend an extra gift.

Yeah, she goes, oh, it's included in your present. It gets murky when you try and include partners because where is the line? Like, do they need to have attended a family Christmas before? Or do you just put them in as a gesture to go, hey, welcome to the family. You're in the sibling secret centre. You're in sibling secret centre.

Like, does the person I went out with on Christmas Eve that one year and they were in my bed the next day on Christmas Day, do they count? Well, what's the cutoff? That's the thing. If you meet someone in the Kuru Lounge on their way back to Brisbane, do they count?

Do they count? If you guys start pashing and then you drag some Trejo home for Christmas, does that count? Yeah, does it? You know? I mean, if I have to buy a gift for my, you know, sister's partner and my brother's partner.

Maybe you hate your sibling's partner as well. There's that to be taken into account. Well, yeah. Like, do you want to spend a hundred bucks on your, you know, sibling's partner? Because Secret Santa doesn't discriminate. Secret Santa doesn't go, I know you've got beef with this person, so I'm going to make sure that you don't randomly draw their name out. Usually it's the other way.

You will always get them. Yeah, usually the universe goes, you get them. Enjoy finding a passive aggressive present for this person that you don't like. I don't know the answer, but do we try and write the rules on it this afternoon? Yeah, do we get to the bottom of this and ask you guys on 0800DIALZM, do partners get included into the Secret Santa? We'll just leave it at that and you can give us your feedback. And we want, you know, what ideas around the rules and regulations

are. Because it might actually save a few fights this Christmas. Let's clear it up now before the draws get done, okay? Do siblings get included in Secret Santa? Back with the results in a second. Or you can text us on 9696.

Bree and Clint, the podcast ZM. Some very interesting insights into this topic. Sibling Secret Santa. So in my family we are, instead of buying a present for each of my siblings we just say each year, okay, you've got

this person and you've got that person. Is it a secret? Do you do a draw or is it a rotation policy? It's a rotation policy. That's the way to do it. That way you don't get the same person twice and they don't get you twice. Exactly right. So it actually works out really well. And you actually, after me telling you about this model. Implemented it.

I've just messaged my brothers and sister about it now, see if they're keen to do it again. Okay, cool. Well, let us know how it goes. You got an IOU last year. I did get an IOU and I might claim it this year. It makes things easier because one, you only have to buy one present

and you can spend more on that one present. Yes, exactly. And that's the point of it. And I mean, I just want to see them. Like I don't need anything. I just want to see my family

for Christmas. It takes the stress out of buying multiple presents as well. But... What's the rule, right? What is the rule when it comes to partners and Secret Centre?

And that's where it's gotten grey area this year because do partners or the siblings, right? What is the rule when it comes to partners and Secret Santa? And that's where it's gotten grey area this year because do partners of the siblings, are they included in this? Are they included by default? Is it an opt-in? Do they have to have been in the family for a certain amount of time? Is it when they get married? Like, does that mean they're included?

Let's start with Jen. Jen, do you have an answer to that question for us? So what you do is for your partner's family, you just buy a big hamper. And I mean, problem solved. Yeah, or a box of beersies, right? For your family. Yeah, so you don't have to worry about individual presents.

I love finding those real stale crackers from those random Christmas events. No, you make it yourself, three. Oh, okay. I don't mind that idea. Oh, Jean, that sounds like a lot of work. No, that's fun. You get the cellophane paper.

No, you go to Kmart. Yeah, go to Kmart. Get a nice container that you can use in your car later on. Yeah. And then fill the wine, good cheese, some good crackers, some chocolate, and you're done. Girl, can you join My Secret Santa? You sound wonderful. Yeah, that sounds like a good time, doesn't it?

Sharice is here. Kia ora, Sharice. Hi, Sharice. Hey, how's it going? Good. What do you think about siblings' partners being included into the Secret Santa? Ours are automatically included into our Secret Santa, but we have a set limit of $100. Right.

And if you've got a partner, it's $100 for the two of you. And if you're single, it's $100 just for yourself, for whoever's buying for you. This really triggers Bree, this situation. No, I'm actually stoked with that, because if I'm single, it's $100 just for yourself, for whoever's buying for you. This really triggers, Bree, this situation. No, I'm actually stoked with that, because if I'm single, I get $100 to myself. Yeah. And I don't have to share it with someone. Yeah, but you don't like the idea.

You're resentful of, like, your sister and her husband only having to pay $50 each. Yeah, I think it's bullcrap. Everybody's coming out of the same bank account. So, they're two people. No, it's not $50 each. It's for, like, whoever you buy for, like, all together, you get $100. Right.

So that one actually works out better for the single people. Okay, another Bree is here. Hi, Bree. Hi, Bree. Hi. It's a confusing situation when it comes to partners and Secret Santa. And I say that not because I don't want to include partners of siblings. It's just, do they want to be included? Do they want to have to go and Secret Santa. And I say that not because I don't want to include partners of siblings. It's just, do they want to be included?

Do they want to have to go and buy? They're dating you, not your siblings. I wish we could have asked Sharice because she said all of their partners get included. I wish we could have asked her, but how long? Like, if you're dating someone for two weeks, are they included in? Well, what do you reckon, Bree? What's the answer? Well, it gets a bit tricky in my family because I've got I've got

eight sisters and five brothers whoa so like on my side of the family yeah we like we're doing a secret Santa so my partner's included in that so he has a person and someone has him. And whereas on his side they're doing like more of a combined. So whoever gets us gets both of us. You've got 13 siblings in your family. There is absolutely no way you can include

the partners. No. The math just doesn't work. I don't even think that you guys can all be in the same place for Christmas for health and safety reasons. No, I just realised something. We aren't.. Like, I don't even think that you guys can all be in the same place for Christmas for health and safety reasons. No, I just realised something. We aren't. Bree, can I come to your house for the game of backyard cricket?

It'd be actually two teams versus each other. And a couple of umpires. And a couple of umpires. Yeah, okay. Do you want to read out that text? Thank you, Bree, by the way. This is just an interesting insight from the other side. This is from one of the partners who has texted us.

Yes, someone said, I've been with my partner for three years and I would be sad if I wasn't included in the sibling secret Santa. I don't have much family, so I already struggle to feel included. That being said, these sorts of chats always turn into arguments because my partner doesn't intuitively think I should be involved. Christmas is a stressful time. There's lots of pressures, both the social pressures and financial pressures, which is why I think we revert to my idea of no presents.

I was just going to say, is your idea, let's all just give each other alcohol. Yeah, that too. Yeah, there are presents. There are presents. It's just. It's all alcohol. Everyone other alcohol. Yeah, that too. Yeah, there are presents. There are presents. It's just. It's all alcohol. Everyone gets alcohol. And the only rule is you have to drink it on Christmas Day.

You've got to be gone by Boxing Day. ZDM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. Three people. What was top of the charts on their 16th birthdays? Well, we're about to find out with a little game we like to call Birthday Banger.

Farzana, g'day. Hello. Hey, guys. How are you? Faz, I heard a rumour it's your birthday today. It is. Well, happy birthday. How old are you turning?

Thank you. I'm 27. Oh, good year, 27, wasn't it, Clint? It was one of the best, actually. Do you remember? Yeah. How good was 27? Because you're in the middle. Yeah, 30'm 27. Oh, good year, 27, wasn't it, Clint? It was one of the best, actually. You remember? Yeah. How good was 27? Because you're in the middle.

Poker Face. Zeddy and Bree and Clint, that is the winner of Birthday Banger today for Farzana, whose birthday it is today. Lady Gaga, Poker Face. It was number one on this day in what year? 2008. 2008. I was watching year? 2008. 2008. I was watching The Chase yesterday.

Yes. And there was a Lady Gaga question. What was the question? So it said, who is the pop star who only has tattoos on one side of her body because her father asked her to leave one side of herself relatively normal? Is that her? Yeah, apparently. I did not know that. Apparently all of the tattoos that she has are concentrated on one side of her relatively normal. Is that her? Yeah, apparently. I did not know that. Apparently all of the tasks that she has are concentrated on one side of her body.

Really? Because her dad wanted the other side to be, in his words, normal, yeah. Wow, interesting. How old do you think Lady Gaga is? 32. Yeah, close. She's 33. Is she?

Yeah, I remember I went to see her. This was probably 10 years ago now in concert. And it was her 24th birthday. Yeah. And the whole stadium sung happy birthday to her. Yeah. And it was in Brisbane. And there's a nightclub in Brisbane called The Zoo.

Yeah. Which is like where real kind of alternative bands and artists kind of play. Anyway, she dressed up in a disguise that night and she was out in the valley partying at that venue. Really? Yeah. You didn't find out until afterwards? Yeah, no.

I found out like the next day and I was down the road at some grungy bar. I was like, damn it, should have went to the zoo. There's the, you can't see this at home, there's her tattoos, yeah. They're all concentrated on one side of her body I kind of like that, that's cool On Friday, out of nowhere

Actually no, it's been coming for a bit The Crusaders, the Canterbury Crusaders The Super Rugby team Dropped their brand new logo It's been coming We didn't know whether they were going to change their name altogether, whether they were just going to ratify the logo. Because that was a conversation that was happening as well.

Yeah, yeah. The issue is the Crusaders and that night on horseback. We all know this. Yeah, we know the story. It's not a very nice story at all. No, no. And it doesn't fit with the values of the team. No.

It harks back to a religious war, and they don't need it. They don't need it. So the pressure was on. Are the Crusaders going to change their name? What do you think they should have been called? I don't know what they should have been called, but I think they should have taken this chance to change their name altogether. I think it would have sent a really nice message to a lot of fans and to the world as well.

It's not my team, though. It is your team, Producer Ben. What do you think they should have done? I don't mind the name. You don't mind the name of the Crusaders? No, I don't think it needed to be changed. I think that any butthurt people would have got over it within a year. And I agree with Brie. What if they changed people would have got over it within a year.

And I agree with Brie. What if they changed it? If they changed it, yeah. You know what, at the end of the day. Go to the Canterbury Cool Dudes, you know, go for it. Yeah, make it modern, like no one these days. The Canterbury Robots. Yeah, change it into something. The Canterbury Winning Machine.

The Canterbury Cyborgs. Can't be stopped. Yeah, cannot be stopped. Beep boop, beep boop, beep boop. Anyway, the Crusaders, that's what they're doing. The Canterbury Cranberries. The horseman with the sword is gone, and in its place is a brand new logo,

which is copping some serious heat on the internet. Now, people on the internet love to have a go at anything. Don't they? But I think this one might be justified. Now, you haven't seen it, Bree? I haven't seen it yet, no. So I'm going to show you the new logo, and you tell me what it looks like to you.

Okay. Okay? Now, it's supposed to be two kuru ferns that make the shape of a C to represent Canterbury. Right. What do you see in the new Canterbury Crusaders logo? I see, being a female, Canterbury Crusaders logo? I see, being a female,

I see a female reproductive system. Really? On the side. Oh, and that's the, and those are the ovaries? Yeah, so if you turn it up, yeah, that's the ovaries there. I hadn't seen that one.

Ben, had you seen it as ovaries, a uterus? I get tagged in a lot. And then look at what's down the bottom of that logo. Show producer Ellie Shield would have seen it before. What does the very bottom look like? That looks like a bum hole. No, it's got kind of two... Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's one, that's one.

So I haven't seen that one. Okay. I'm going to turn the logo the other way for you. Yeah. And what do you see when the logo is up that way, the new Canterbury Crusaders logo? I see. Oh, it's like a, is it like the Batman sign?

You can see a Batman sign if you like. I think Ben and the Crusaders team would take that. It's kind of, yeah, like a. What people on the internet are seeing is um two penises kissing oh yeah if your penis bends that way there's the yeah right and then it's coming up that way and there's the end of it oh so those are the um yeah right those are the jewels yeah they're the family jewels. And then extending from the jewel is the shaft.

Well, now we know if the Crusaders are Jewish or not. Anyway, that there would have cost millions and millions of dollars. And all they had to do was show it to one 14-year-old boy and go, that looks like penises. Mazel tov to the Crusaders. ZDM Spree and Clint, the podcast. If anyone can relate to this next story, I believe it's me because I'm allergic to everything. Oh, yeah?

The amount of rashes. What are you allergic to? I'm allergic to dust. Yeah? I've got a severe dust mite allergy. Yeah. So I've got constant hay fever wherever I go. Okay, yeah.

I'm allergic to horses. I'm allergic to grass. I'm allergic to soaps. I'm allergic to... God, you should be like that. Remember that boy in the bubble? Yes. That should be you.

And one time I found out I was allergic to latex. Did you find that out the hard way? I did. I did find out the hard way. That was an awkward moment for me in my life. Anyway, moving on. We talked about this because I can't relate. What happens on a latex allergy?

It's like someone put a chilli all over you. It's like fire until you get into the shower. It's like fireball. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's weird. And it would be all – oh, I don't need to go into it.

All up in there. Yeah. It's not great. All right. But you know what? This story actually makes me feel grateful for my allergies. Yeah. allergies because a university student has a condition called aquagenic urticaria.

Oh, yeah, aquagenic urticaria. Yeah. Have you heard of it? I have now. It's extremely rare and it's thought to affect fewer than 100 people worldwide. So what's she allergic to? She is allergic to water.

Oh. And I'm not just talking about water that comes out of a tap or that's in a pool. Yeah. Her name is Tessa Hansen. She's 21. She is allergic to her own tears, to sweat. Yeah. So she's allergic to moisture, basically.

She's allergic to moisture, yeah. Because there's nothing that doesn't have water in it. Well, you think about it. She's so allergic. Except for shortbread, the driest biscuit on earth. Yeah, literally. She's so allergic to water that she can only shower twice a month. Really?

Because she obviously has to deal with it every time she, you know, she breaks out in a rash, she suffers from migraines, develops a fever, and it's so bad that she has to get transported around the university campus that she goes to because if she sweats, she'll break out in a rash. Oh, she can't even do any exercise? No, she can't. No, because she sweats. Yeah.

Wow. She apparently was taking, there's no like cure. She can't pop a Claritine in the way she goes? She actually takes up to 12 antihistamines a day, but she's brought it back to nine antihistamines. I heard if you took more than one antihistamine, it cancelled each other out. No.

Is that a lie? I reckon it's a lie. Oh, okay. But they say, have you read that thing where they say if you take one antihistamine or ten, it doesn't matter, it's all going to do the same? Is that what it is? Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, okay. They're like, you can only take one and that's pretty much all you can do. Tell her that. Well, she's obviously just trying to do anything. Isn't that horrific? I feel very bad for her. Yeah, but she says obviously she does things to try and deal with it and keep it at bay.

But don't ever complain about being allergic, you know, to anything other than water because, like, that is just crazy. Oh, no, I'm still going to complain about my cat allergy as I pet my two cats. Your mild cat allergy. Bree and Clint, the podcast. This is mildly terrifying, but did you see that the plague's back? No, I haven't read that. Like the plague plague.

The plague that killed thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people. Like the black, like bring out your dead, the black plague is back. That's very, very concerning. You say thousands and thousands and thousands. Wasn't it? It occurred, the original black plague occurred in the 14th century. And if you were to guess how many thousand people you think it killed,

have a stab in the dark. So this is like 1300s, the 14th century. So it's not as many people. No. And it was across, I think it was like a seven or eight year period is when it was at its height. I'm going to say 200,000 people. 50 million people.

Jesus. And it's back. The Black Plague, also known as the Bubonic Plague, has been found in four different people in the northern inner Mongolia region in China. How? They reckon that the original couple of people who got it got it from eating wild animals. Because that's how it was transmitted. It was transmitted via rats and via rodents.

Yeah. And anyway, a couple of people got it, and then a couple more people have got it, and they're up to four So there have been four cases reported Of the Black Plague returning So what do they do now? Put them into isolation

Some people have got it There's lots of medicine around now I think some people actually survive it But if you get it You go into like full lockdown Like they put a plastic tent around you type thing And you don't There's no visiting hours for you. It's like that movie Contagion.

Is that Contagion? Exactly like that, yeah. Oh, that movie's so scary because that is something that can actually happen. And the other one was Outbreak, the one with the monkey? Outbreak, yes. That was the one from the 90s? World War Z? Yeah, exactly right.

Exactly right. Put it this way, if you have the Black Plague and they've got you and they're treating you None of the blues players are coming to visit you To make you feel better You're not getting I don't think you're getting visits from anyone The real weird thing about this, I've been reading about it

It says plague cases are not uncommon in China But outbreaks have become increasingly rare From 2009 to 2018 China reported just 26 cases of the plague. Oh, joy. Just 26. But I guess they were contained. And of that, 11 deaths.

This is real grim, this chat, by the way. I was just about to say, is there any light at the end of the tunnel? No, it's called the Black Plague. Yeah. God, way to really brighten the spirits here on a Monday night, Clint. Take your vitamin C, everybody. Bree and Clint, ZM. Oh, zany radio, yeah.
