you got everybody welcome to the brie and clint podcast hello everyone can i share a real adult story it's like it's it involves property are you interested in that story at all like like houses oh i was picturing like it's like r18 plus and then you go into the boring adult chat oh no i don't know there's two different types of adult chat. Yeah. There's like the sexy time adult chat. Oh, yeah, the serious responsible adult chat.

And then there's like, oh, dividends and tax brackets and stuff. And I know which one is more alluring. I do. I really do. But sometimes I don't have any of those stories. Do you have one of those stories you could share? Because I won't share the other one. You're right.

It's not as exciting. But do you have an adult story you you could share? Because I won't share the other one. You're right. It's not as exciting. But do you have an adult story you can share with us? No. I'm all dried up. You're devoid of any kind of action at the moment? Not literally, Producer Ben. I'm just saying I'm all dried up of that content at the moment. Are you dating at the moment?

I'm trying to. No, I'm not joking. I thought someone walked behind you just then, someone that you used to date. But it's not them. You know that person who we keep thinking walked past? I thought it was them. Right.

Yeah, we can't say that person on the podcast. Can we say where they work? No, we can't say that. Are you not dating anyone at the moment? No. No. Are you Tindering? I have been off and on on the Tinder, but yeah.

I find that even on Tinder, if I get like a match, I'll message them and then they message me back and then I get bored. I never did Tinder. I got into it for like a couple of weeks before I met Lucy. This is when Tinder was brand new. Yep. And so I never got the full experience.

What's your opening line? If you make the match and you're going to make the first move, because that's what it's all about, right? It's all about chat factor. I try to go with something topical. Oh, yeah. So that no one else would be having that line. Like, well, if it was today or this week, what would you say?

Probably Jess's lips from maths. Yes or no. Oh, I see your tactic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it stands out. But you know. I quite like that, yeah. I think it's Bumble.

I think Bumble does it. They actually give you opening lines. Do they? Yeah. There should be an upgrade that you can buy. Do you want to buy some chat for $5.99 within the app? I'm pretty sure you can you can well i that's both great and depressing at the same time but then someone will might like you

for you and not i mean they might like me for me they might like the app and not you yeah imagine if they fell in love with the apps chat i always met you and they're like boring i always feel bad for people who don't have chat in their situations. Do you think I would have good chat? Yeah, but I think you've found out what is good chat and I reckon it's been rolled out on a few different people. You're like, oh shit, that one went well. And so you roll it out again on the next person. A copy and paste is perfectly fine.

Have you got a sheet in your notes app that you go and grab your opening lines from, like pre-typed out? No, but it's in my brain. I love when you get into the conversation, like when you can start asking the bit more, I don't know, like sexier questions. Like what? Before you've been on the first date?

Yeah, depends. After the first date. Oh, so definitely before you've seen each other's undies? Yes. Yeah, okay. Yes. Yeah, okay. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That stage.

Which, by the way, if I'm speaking honestly. That's a good question, actually. What type of underwear do you prefer? Just quickly, that's the most titillating time of any relationship, I think. I love that word saying it. Titillating, titillating. Just between having met them and going,

well, I like this person, and before you've done anything, and you both know it's about, it's going to happen. Yeah. And you're like, I think something's going to happen here. How long do you wait? Well, how long do I wait? Yeah.

I'm in a relationship. I don't have an answer for that. I know, but did you used to have a rule? No. No, never? No. Just whatever was right for that situation. Whatever you feel.

First date? Yeah. Really? No. Just whatever was right for that situation. Whatever you feel. First date? Yeah. Really? Yeah. And would you ever judge someone if they gave it up on the first date? Hell no. Okay. To me, I would judge them well.

No, but. I would go, I judge you five stars. No, some people do do that though. No, God no. No, God, no. No, no, no. I'm definitely not in the business of judging anybody on anything sexual. I think we're past that, right? No, I mean like do you judge someone if they give it up on the first date?

I don't understand what you're asking me. Am I judging the person who's given up to me? Not the performance. The person that gives it up to you. Does it change my opinion of the person? Yes. Oh, probably subliminally somewhere, but is it a negative thing? I don't know.

Of course it changes your opinion of the person if you've done naked hugging with them, right? Naked hugging. Yeah, I guess so. So back to you. Do you need a date? Do you want help? No, I don't.

No, thank you. Because our predecessors are not to steal their ideas, but Jase and PJ, like Jase got a lot of fun and a lot of mileage out of sending PJ on dates. I've been respectful of you up until this point and because I thought you had your own thing going on. But if you want me getting you on blind dates and shit, mate, I am here.

I am ready. I'll get a line of potential suitors and suitories outside the studio tomorrow. I'm just going to Google something. I'm just going to Google something. I'm just going to lawyer up. It'll be like the United Nations of single people outside. No. We'll have black.

We'll have white. We'll have short. We'll have tall. We'll have male. We'll have female. Can I not remind you, all the podcasters, of the last time you tried to do that, where you put it out to a national radio show,

if anyone wanted to take me on a date no one called that was short notice i they only had an hour they only had an hour that time like i literally if anyone is listening to and and we didn't get no one we got two that you weren't interested in and one guy who was married and lives in the hawks bay and just rang out of sympathy and the other one was a straight girl and said she called because she felt sorry for me. You love straight girls. Oh, come on.

You're killing me here. If you want to inbox me, that is at Bree Thomasel on Instagram. Oh, by the way, just before we crack into the podcast, if you do listen to this regularly, you will have heard our message on yesterday's podcast for Producer Ben's birthday. It is your birthday today, Producer Ben. We did a special message in the podcast to say DM Ben for his birthday.

Did you get any messages? Okay. Yeah, I did. Do you remember we interviewed that guy, The Fartist? Yeah. He messaged me first, like really early this morning. He's like, happy birthday, mate. Oh, good.

Thank you, guys. Did you get quite a few ads? Because I said for people to add you. I did, and I was wondering why a lot of people were adding me today. Did you get any nudes? Nah. Because we said on it, we said, send Ben a nude, and hopefully he opens it when he's with Steph's girlfriend

and write in the caption, here's that nude you asked for. Oh, that's good. Send that. At Ben McDowell underscore NZ. Send your big naked willy shots to at Ben McDowell underscore NZ. And if you're sending out nudes, that Instagram again, at Bree Thomas on Instagram. Here's today's podcast, everybody.

Bye. Bye. Zed in. Zed in. Let's go, go, go. Now let me see you dance. ZM's Brie and Clint. Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the show, Brie and Clint.

Hello, mate. Obviously, yesterday we had the show open by Mama Di, and what a shame that she can't open the show for us again today. Well, she can because we have the replay of her. Are you telling me we can use technology and she can be a part of the intro again? Anytime we want. You mean if I just push this? Stop watching.

My neck is flossing. Make big deposits. My gloss is popping. You like my hair? Gee, thanks. Just bought it. I see it like it. I want it.

I got it. Is this joke old? I want it. I got it. Nah. I didn't think so either. I mean, there's a real risk. I want it. I got it. I want it. I got it. Is this joke old yet? I want it. I got it. Nah. I didn't think so either. I mean, there's a real risk. I want it.

I got it. I want it. I got it. You like my hair? Gee, thanks. Just bought it. I see it. I like it.

I want it. I got it. See, I think it's the gift that keeps on giving. I think it's like... I miss that woman dearly. What would it cost? Like, I don't know what her fee is. I don't know how much what her pay expectations are.

But to just get her to sit in the corner of the room every day, like, is that going to be expensive? She likes to be paid in Ed Sheeran CDs. Yeah. Does she have a job at the moment, your mother? No, she's... Shit, she'd be cheap then. She's stay-at-home mum, but all of us kids have left.

She needs to be here then. Hey, today on the show, obviously big news. Yesterday, the Venute arrived. Today, we want your help to figure out where she's going. Yes. Is she a she? It's a she. It's a she, isn't it?

I think it's a she. Actually, we should really ask. How dare we assume the gender of the Venute? I did check underneath the hood. It looks like a she. Yeah, but it's 2019, Bree. You can't take physical indicators. You need to ask the Venute how it identifies. It's a car. Yeah, but it's 2019, Bree. You can't take physical indicators. You need to ask the venute how it identifies.

It's a car. She can't talk. It's not a car. It's half van. It's half ute. Next on the show, though, are you a single female? I mean, I don't mean to sound like a chauvinist here, but is there a reason that you're single

and is that reason the things inside your house? I'm trying to think of stuff in my house that could be a reason that you're single and is that reason the things inside your house? I'm trying to think of stuff in my house that could be a reason. There's a few things. You have a thing. Someone has published a study as to what the things inside your house may be acting as man repellent. That's right. Things you own could be scaring dudes off.

Apparently. Right. We'll give them to you next. ZM Spree and Clint. ZM. ZM Spree and Clint, ZM. ZM, Spray and Clint. The podcast. Are you single and female?

Yes. Are you wondering, what is it about me that can't find someone to be with me? What if I don't want to find anyone? Yes, and that's what's going to piss you off about this article because maybe you don't want to.

But hasn't stopped Susan Roynan, an interiors therapist. What the hell is an interiors therapist? That's not a thing. Well, actually it turns out you can just invent a job and say that's my job. Like social media influencer. Susan Roynan is an interiors

therapist and she believes that some things within your house could be acting as man repeller. Okay. Like what? Do you want to know what they are? Yeah, go on. This is not a Clint Roberts endorsed list,

but I'll give them to you anyway. It's from the article called How to Avoid Turning Your Home into Man Repellent, Forthright Advice for the Single Woman. It sounds like something that would have been written in the 1940s, doesn't it? And to be honest, I think probably females' houses are usually pretty good. I agree with you. Every female's house I've been in is far more inviting than a smelly single man's house. Not every man, but some men can be

pretty smelly. 90% of single men. Guys, Lynx Africa is not a good air freshener. In fact, I'll go as far to say it's not even a great deodorant, but we're not talking about men right now. Well, don't be saying crazy stuff like that. These are the things that Susan Roynan, an interiorist therapist, has said. You should try and change about your house if you're looking to attract a male. Okay. Number one, four things.

Number one, don't stack your bookshelves with depressing book titles. All right. I don't read books, so I'm in the clear for that. So suck on that, Susan Royner. Okay, number two. Number two, cut back on female portraits. Multiple pictures of single women

suggest that you're actually happier alone. Oh, this woman sounds like a punish. Number three, clutter in the home. Clutter can damage your relationships by increasing irritability. If you've got too much, too many things around, the man who comes into your life

is going to be too irritated by that and he won't want to stay. Is clutter an issue in your house? I don't think so. I don't have a lot of clutter. No. Okay. And the fourth advice from Susan Royne, an interiorist therapist on how to turn your home into an inviting space for men.

Do not own a cactus. A cactus is not a good plant. It is spiky and uninviting. Where did she get her degree? Honestly. As an interior therapist? Yeah. I think she just Googled it, to be honest.

Ah, printed it out. I want people listening right now to weigh in on the text machine. If I was the only person that I was today years old when I learnt something about an app on my iPhone. Okay. This is a very popular app. Everyone has this on their iPhone. It's the Clock app.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It comes built in. Comes built in. Is that one of the ones you can't delete? You know how there's some apps on phones that you can't delete? Yes, you can't delete it. Yeah. Stays there. Can't delete? You know how there's some apps on phones that you can't delete? Yes, you can't delete it. Yeah.

Stays there. Someone pointed out to me the other day that the clock on your iPhone, if you look at it because it's an analogue clock, the second hand moves to the amount of seconds. Yeah. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Did you know that of seconds. Yeah. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Did you know that?

Yeah. Yeah, I knew that. And the other hand's point show you what time it is. Yeah, but did you know that the second hand moves? Yeah. When did you find that out? The same time as I saw that your calendar one also says exactly what day it is. Like it's not just a random thing.

It says the actual date on the calendar one. Producers, can you weigh in on this? Did you know that the second hand on the clock on the app on your iPhone moved? I knew a while ago because they released it when Apple released the phone. Here's 11 fun tricks you probably didn't know about the iPhone. Wait, when was that? Well, whenever they released the iPhone 8, two years, a year ago. Oh, so this is only a new thing on this iPhone, the iPhone 8?

Yeah, probably. Producer Ellie, did you know that? No. I love how you're sitting there going, oh, everyone knows that. No, I didn't say that. That's a common thing. No, you asked me, you said, did you know this? And I'm saying, yeah, I knew that.

Yeah. But that's fine. I mean, cool. You just learned it. Cool. I don't know what you want me to say. You were today years old. Yeah.

And I was a while ago. Yeah. But there'll be definitely people out there. There'll be people on the text machine that just learned that right now. Definitely. Definitely they will. 100%. Yeah, definitely they will.

Oh, now there's other people telling us other stuff that they just learned. When you turn your torch on on the iPhone, the little switch on it moves. Yeah, you can make your phone brighter. You can power the torch up even further. Yeah. No, as in the switch on the torch moves into the on position. Did you know that? No, I didn't know that.

Didn't know that. Oh, cool. Yeah, cool. Mate, just because you don't have an iPhone anymore, you've got a Samsung now. That's why you don't think it's cool. Samsung clock moves too. Does it?

On the app, yeah. Don't care. Zed-Em, Spree and Clint, the podcast. Let's get some spy. Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz. He's here and we're no longer padding for time, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz. He's here and we're no longer padding for time.

Dean McCarthy, kia ora. Hello, guys. Very nice padding job. Very well done. How's your beaut? No, the you, what's it called? The you beaut. The venute.

Hang on, hang on. What did you call it, Dean? The you beaut. The you beaut. The you beaut venute. The U-Butte. The U-Butte. The U-Butte. The U-Butte. Yes. The U-Butte.

The U-Butte is a butte. Yeah. Look, Gene, I don't know where we're going with that, mate. Should we talk about gossip? We don't know. Hey, tell us what's going on with Ariana Grande and the new rules around photos with her. Oh, my goodness. Hilarious.

So what she's done, I've never heard of this before. That's why it's making headlines today. Ariana Grande at her concert, she only allows the photographers to shoot her in the first three songs of her concert. Fair enough. She's all fresh, not sweat or anything like that. And then secondly, she owns the rights to the photos. I've never heard of an artist doing that.

And thirdly, if that photographer, let's say the Getty photographer or the TMZ photographer wants to use the photo, she, her team approves the storing that the photo will be used with. She is ridiculous. I love it. Yeah, I've met Ariana Grande before and I got the chance to interview her. Her and her team definitely like to control everything about the process.

When we interviewed her, her mum sat in the room directly opposite us. She was behind the camera but if we asked a question that mum didn't like she shut it down. And she went, no, no and she stood up and she put her hand in front of the camera and she'd go, no, we're not having that question. No, no, no, no, no. What the mum was doing? Yeah, Ariana Grande's mum did that. What did you ask her?

Yeah, what did you ask her? I think maybe we asked her about the Mariah Carey comparisons and she's like, no, no we're not talking about that. No, no, no, no, we're not talking about that. No, no, no, no, no. And also she was the one that said she only wanted to be photographed from the left side. Was that her?

You know, this all comes from those photos of Beyonce that came out from the Super Bowl. Remember she did the performance and there were those really unflattering pictures of Beyonce. After that, a whole lot of artists went, we've got to have more control over this. We can't have these bad angles getting out there. I don't want to be a meme.

That's where it comes from. And the sweatiness. I get that. I kind of get it. Hey, also, Dean, Chris Humphries obviously needs some more money because he's come out and talked about his marriage with Kim. He certainly might need another $100,000 to kickstart the new house. Here's what he's done, not to be too shady.

He never spoke much about his divorce with Kim Kardashian at the time. What he's come out and said was this, which is quite interesting. He said it was a very real marriage. It was a very, very real wedding. And for a year afterwards, he was in such a dark place, he would barely go out. And when he

did go out, he would pretend to be a basketballer. He would actually say, oh, I'm, I don't know any of them. Scotty Pippen. Michael Jordan. Scotty Pippen. Michael Jordan. I'm Scotty Pippen.

Scotty Pippen. That's who you picked. I don't know who they are. I don't know them. I have no clue. I love you. That is not nice to hear. But at the same time, it is fascinating because you heard nothing from him.

I just thought he had nothing to say. Do you reckon he signed a lot of different, I don't know, contracts? Like non-disclosure agreements and stuff. Do you reckon Ariana Grande's mum showed up and said, you will not talk about this wedding, Chris Humphries. You will not. I will not have it. I need to get one of those.

That's Dean McCarthy. He's in Hollywood. He gives us spy exclusive celebrity gossip every single day. Inspires brought to you by the new Snacks Crunches flavour with the right amount of crunch in there. I want you to listen up right now if you're a boss. Buy your employees

some pizza. They're going to love it. You're going to love it. It's going to affect the bottom line in a positive way. There's been a study done, Bree, where certain groups of people were offered different incentives to work harder, to increase their productivity. Yeah.

One group was offered a $40 pay rise. $40? A week. Okay. Yeah, $40 a week. One group was offered not a year. God, that would be a kick in the teeth, wouldn't it? I thought it was like a week or something. I was like, $40 a week. One group was offered, not a year. God, that would be a kick in the teeth, wouldn't it? I thought it was like a week or something.

I was like, that's not that much. $40 a week. That's the pay rise they're offered. One group was offered a text message from their boss at the end of the day saying, good work today. You guys have done really well. So a little bit of praise from the boss. Is it a generic text message?

You might copy paste your name into it, but no guarantees you'll spell it right. bit of praise from the boss. Is it a generic text message? You might copy paste your name into it, but no guarantees you'll spell it right. A text message from the boss. And the third group was offered free pizza at work. That's the best one by far. After a month of this study, which one of the three groups do you think performed the best? Pizza.

The pizza group. Absolutely. The pizza group. Of course they did. Wait, do they get pizza once a week? Yeah, they get pizza once a week, so then the boss buys them. I think it was sporadically, actually, so the boss would just show up and go and be like,

hey, guys, I've got pizza. So it was like a pizza surprise. And then Gary down the back would probably be like, oh, I bought my lunch today. That's so annoying. That's unfair to me. I've already gone and got my Subway. Shut up, Gary.

We want the pizza. I just want to ask the producers real quick, what would you guys prefer? Out of all those things, what would make you work harder? I've already gone and got my Subway. Shut up, Gary. We want the pizza. I just want to ask the producers real quick. What would you guys prefer? Out of all those things, what would make you work harder? A pay rise of $40, a text from Ross Boss saying good work today, or free pizza? Free pizza. Yeah, probably the free pizza.

See, that baffles me. Because it's so immediate. It's right there. Yeah, I get that. But do you know how much pizza you could buy with $40? Yeah, no, quite a lot. Quite a lot. Depends where you're buying it from. It's right there. I get that. But do you know how much pizza you could buy with $40? Yeah, no, quite a lot. Quite a lot. Depends where you're buying it from. It's interesting.

It's an interesting research piece on human psychology and how we react. We'll go, I'll give you $40 in your bank and it'll be there. You can spend it however you want. Or this big, hot, greasy piece of pizza. Isn't it crazy though, even in our workplace, and I'm sure there's other workplaces around the country, as soon as free food comes out, even the people who are on a diet and nothing can break them,

as soon as the free food comes out at work, boom. Even us as well. Free food in the office brings out the worst in people. We do this thing here at our office when the free food comes out and you see the people flock to the food and then some people will just start to be like, ka-ka, ka-ka, ka-ka. So there you go.

If you are the boss of a workplace this afternoon and everyone's hounding you for a pay rise, why don't you buy them some pizza? I mean, it won't help pay their mortgage and they're not going to get their first home out of it, but, man, they'll be glad they got some pizza. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast. Do you remember what we talked about this time yesterday?

No. It's hard to remember yesterday. Is that a bad thing? We talk about so much stuff. And we do. We talked about the new thing that Apple launched. Oh, Apple TV Plus. Yeah, it's like a streaming service.

It's new Netflix. Yeah, pretty much. It's Apple Netflix. Pretty much. We are changing the world With something that's Never been done before They're launching a Netflix Something I noticed about

The audio we played Of Tim Apple As Donald Trump Likes to call him The guy who runs the show The guy who runs Apple Why wouldn't he be called Tim Apple

Yeah Tim Apple Talking about I mean yeah it's cool But it's not the biggest Most exciting thing In the world No But when he talks about it, I'm excited.

A new service unlike anything that's been done before. Apple TV+. I'm inspired. They sell the dream, that company, right? Don't they? And they sell it well. I've got a theory. Yeah.

And I think I've figured it out. Okay. The reason why we get so excited and inspired is not because of the product. It's not because of the guy speaking. It's the music behind it. Oh, you think it's the uplifting spiritual music behind the thing that is getting us hooked in.

That's my theory. I'm going to test the theory this afternoon. So I'm going to read out something that's not super inspiring. It's how to build a cabinet. Oh, sure. All right. But we're going to have that music behind it and you tell me if you're inspired afterwards.

You ready? Cool, cool, cool. All right, here we go. Kick off the music. The sample base and wall cabinets shown below have these features to make building them as simple as possible. The three-quarter-inch plywood case eliminates panel jointing, planning and glue-ups. Face frames cover plywood edges, overlap on the sides

and let you fine-tune the cabinet width during installation. This is cabinet making. I need a cabinet. I need a cabinet. I don't know what it is, I don't know how much it costs, but shit, I need a cabinet. I need a cabinet. I don't know what it is. I don't know how much it costs, but shit, I need a cabinet. I'm inspired. $1,400.

I'll take three cabinets, please. That's how they do it. I knew it. The bloody thing doesn't even have a headphone jack. Why have I been buying it? Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Look, here at the Bree and Clint show, we are a family.

Everybody listening is part of this family. And our producers, Ben and Ellie, who you'll hear on the show, are part of the family as well. And that's why when it's their birthday, we like to celebrate with them. Happy birthday, producer Ben. Thanks, mate. I can't believe you're 38. Unreal. That's crazy. Side can't believe you're 38. Unreal.

That's crazy. Side note, Ben hates his birthday. We don't know why, but he doesn't want us to celebrate it. Why do you hate it? I don't hate it. I just don't feel the need to celebrate it. Well, we do. We're not going to let a day like this go by

and not celebrate your special occasion. But it's the big one. It's the big 4-0, and we need to celebrate you turning 40. Yeah, true. You can't turn 45 without us celebrating your birthday. Exactly. And 50 feels great. To celebrate your birthday,

this is going to be a celebration for everybody actually, much like Bree's uplifting bit from just before. This is what I like to call a tale of dreams realised for your birthday. I have in my hands a letter that you wrote to a rival radio station when you were 18 years old applying for work experience. And I'm going to read it out. Look at Ben's face.

I'm going to read it out because at the end, there's a very happy ending. So wait, he wrote a letter when he was 18 because he wanted work experience at this radio station, The Edge. Unfortunately, you didn't get a job at the Edge but you're here. Actually I don't think you wanted work experience I think you wanted advice. The letter will explain itself.

Okay. Do I have your permission to read the letter? It does depend because there is something that went around that I didn't write a long time ago. Oh really? Oh no. If it is that I would rather you not because I didn't write it but you can go for it. This is awkward.

Just go for it. Yeah, you can go for it. And then if it's not you, you can say I didn't write that. Okay, here we go. Kia ora. My name is Ben McDowell and I am without any doubt the keenest and most ready, pumped up and overall excited guy that you have ever had the pleasure of talking or meeting to.

Love it. I am 18. I am a head boy at Christchurch's Lincoln High School, and I have my very own radio show, which I've already clocked six months work experience. I do all the controls, levels, faders, voice breaks. Let me tell you right now, I actually love it. I love combing my passions of creative thinking, planning,

and most of all, entertaining. The story goes like this. When I was 16, I watched the film The Boat That Rocked. The music was great, the film was excellent, and the actors were funny as heck. I, from then on, thought I could do that. I could be a radio presenter. I want people to hear me and laugh, and I want them to know that I am do that. I could be a radio presenter. I want people to hear me and laugh and I want them to know that I am on air.

To realise this dream, I have one simple question. Can I have from you or anyone around, as I'm sure you're surrounded by some mad awesome people, any tips, advice towards what I need to do to get a career in the radio industry and eventually work at the edge? Great station. Uh-oh. Plot twist.

Oh, no. In this letter, you've said your dream is to work at The Edge, and then you said you want a job on ZM. Thanks, heaps. Hope to hear back said you want a job on ZM. Thanks heaps. Hope to hear back from you soon. Keep rocking and rolling. Ben McDowell, smiley face emoji. It's a good letter.

It is a good letter. I don't remember writing that, but there's a few details in that that is true. Yeah. Stands out. See, you've thrown me here by saying there's a fake letter going around. I kind of want the real letter now. Yeah, tell us about the fake letter.

Oh, ages ago, a friend of mine wrote a letter to an Edge show, and it just was not good. What show? And it was from my email. It was when Fletch Vaughan and Megan were on The Edge. And what did she write? Oh, did someone try and sabotage your radio career? Yes.

Oh, mate, that's not what we were trying to do. I was trying to tell this cute story of this 18-year-old who wants to get into radio. How did you get that email? And then when he turns 26, bada-bing, bada-boom, you've realised your dream and you're working here at ZM. That's all I wanted to do. That's good, though.

That was meant to be an uplifting story. You know where the problem, though, was in that letter? I think you copied and pasted it and you forgot to change the station. So first it was The Edge and then it was ZM. Probably. Anyway, I just wanted to, because sometimes you've got to reflect, right? Hey, mate, you've achieved your dream. I mean, you're not working at The Edge, but close enough, right?

Happy birthday, Producer Ben. Shit, they got tense for a second. Yeah, I was worried. ZM, Spree and Clint, the podcast. I bought a van. No, you bought a what? A van slash ute. Yeah.

We bought a Benute. The Benute is coming and everybody's charming. It doesn't have a warrant and it is full of rust. She's here, ladies and gentlemen, the 1989 Toyota HiAce van that has been turned into a ute and purchased by Brie without an inspection for $3,000. It's here.

Doesn't have a left side mirror. Oh, it doesn't have a mirror either. No, I found that out yesterday. I was in the back. I think it's only got one rear seatbelt. Oh, no. One out of three. I don't know how many you need to have.

If you just say that it's a three-seater, will you get away with that? Three seatbelts out of five? It's a three-seater. Yeah, it is. Yeah, and I saw you driving it around for the first time last night. You were saying you don't know where all the gears are. We're going to call the guy you bought it off later this afternoon. Yeah, I can only find, well,

two gears in reverse. So three gears. So three gears, yeah. Hey, don't worry about that. Don't worry about that. We have that under control. We'll figure that out. We have some great people on board to make sure she's road ready come the time. But this is the part of the fun where we need to get you guys involved.

Yeah, we want you guys to get involved because we're taking her on a road trip and we want to bring the Venute to you. What event do you have? Do you need something delivered? Do you want to take her somewhere? Do you have a parade? Is it a wedding? Yeah.

Our dream is we go from Auckland to Wellington in a week-long roadie, and we do as many things with the venute, get her involved in as many events and things like that as we can in that five-day space. She's a venute for the people. She's got to be used, mate. It's got so many practical uses you know

There's so many things you could use her for If you've got a barbecue We could pull her up into the backyard Turn the back ute part into a spa And boom If you're a band and you're doing a gig We could sit you guys up in the back Like a stage

And we could put some speakers on the roof of it Brilliant Also the loftiest of all ideas that we would love Do you want the Venute to be your wedding car? We really want to do that one. Are you getting married and you haven't sorted vehicles or maybe you have got vehicles, maybe you've got like Rolls

Royces or something, but nah, you'd rather pull up in the Venute. We can do that. It's a memorable vehicle. 0800 dial ZM. We want to hear from people who have got challenges for us to do with the Venute this afternoon. All you have to be is on the North Island, because this is the North Island tour, and willing to have the Venute in your life.

Yeah. That's it. That's it. I mean, you have to be not too picky about the smell of gas fumes and stuff, but like... You know what, when I hop into the Venute, you know what it reminds me of? What? It reminds me of this piece of crap van that my pa used to drive. And every time I'm in there, I just think of him.

Oh, that's nice. Isn't that nice? That's a cute memory. I thought you were going to say, it makes me feel unsafe. Because it does that for me, but that's okay. It's going to be safe by the time we get it to you guys. So let's fill up her schedule. Let's get her locked and loaded. 0800 dial ZM.

We need activities in the North Island for our week-long Venute road trip. You can also text us on 9696. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. The Venute is going on tour. The half van, half ute, 1989 Ferrari red, Toyota high-ace van. Do you prefer Ferrari red or tractor red?

Ferrari red. Ferrari red. Fire engine red? Fire engine red's good. She's going on holiday. Well, on tour. We're going to drive her from Auckland to Wellington and we're going to broadcast the whole way over a week.

We're going to have a party in Wellington, but we want stuff to do on the way. We want activities for the Venutes. Yeah, we want you to have a piece of her. And what event have you got? What thing do you want the Venute to do? Let's load up the Venutes dance card, New Zealand. Hi, Grace.

Hi, Grace. Hi, guys. You got something the Venute needs to be at? Yeah, well, I know. I thought you could probably just stop in at Taronga on your way through and I could take you guys for a walk up the mount or something. Well, okay. Can we drive the Venute up the mount?

Because, I mean, I wouldn't want to do any activities without her. You could probably take her up the four-wheel drive track. I don't know if we could speak to the council or something and get that opened up for her. She's definitely not a four-wheel drive. She's definitely front-wheel drive, and there's not much on the back anymore. That's a ute part, so it might make it. Grace, it would be a

story, that's for sure. Back up plan, we can just park her up at the beach and we can have a picnic for one of our dinners. Yeah. See, I like that. I like that idea. Okay, Grace. And I'll provide some entertainment for you all. I like this, Grace. This is getting better and better. Producers, can we please put Tauranga on the list for the venute of

potential places we can go? AJ's calling in. Hey, AJ. Hi, AJ. Oh, g'day, mate. Oh, g'day, mate. Oh, AJ's back. He's back. How you going?

What have you got for us today, AJ? I'll tell you what. I got a bit of an idea. How about we take along a bloody great New Zealander on the road trip? You know, I have some ideas, but mainly myself. AJ, you want to come in the veneer with us? Yeah, come on. Well, once you get me and Bree in there, there's only one more seatbelt.

So if it's going to be anybody, they're going to have to be rigorously selected. Oh, I'm up for it. What can you provide for the road trip? Top class banter, some wacky changies. All right, AJ. A sing-along. Can we put AJ on the maybe list? Put him on the maybe list.

Put him on the definite maybe list. We suggested weddings and stuff before. Someone's text through with a radical suggestion. They said, would the Venute do a funeral? And that's up to you. Do you own her? Is she funeral appropriate? You know, if you want her there,

then we're happy to provide. The deceased would have to be rather short to be able to fit. It's not a long tray in the venute. That's the thing. So if it was like, I don't know, if granddad or grandma was a shorter person, they could fit in the back of the venute. Suits more a wedding, I think.

Do you have to approve? Would that be disrespectful to grandma or grandad's memory as well if you took them in that vehicle, or is it the ultimate respect? It's the ultimate respect. We do have a potential wedding, by the way. I love this. There's a few weddings coming through on the text, but we're going to one now. Larissa, is it your wedding?

Yes. Okay, Larissa, and are you keen to have the Venute as a part of your wedding party? My gut is telling me yes. Definitely yes. My gut. As soon as you said weddings and venute, I said yes. Where's the wedding?

Hamilton. Hamilton. Beautiful. Beautiful. That's on the way to Wellington. Do we have to get it checked off with anybody? Are you the decision maker? No, definitely not.

We need to ask the boss, my fiancee Jade. She will need to approve also. Oh, right. Oh, no. I can talk my way around things. In vehicular terms, would you say Jade is a bit of a handbrake, would you? Yes. The fun police.

But I can talk her around maybe. Larissa, I would love for you to have that conversation on our radio show. Can we make that happen? I mean, we can try and make that happen. We will take your details. Don't tell her anything, and we will do it on our radio show, and we'll see what she says.

Okay. Amazing. Don't tell her anything. I love the idea that Jade gets home tonight, and she's like, oh, crazy, babe, there was another chick on ZM today called Larissa Amazing Don't tell her anything I love the idea That Jade gets home tonight And she's like Oh crazy babe There was another chick On ZM today Called Larissa

From Hamilton Who's also marrying Someone called Jade Who was trying to get This horrible sounding vehicle At their wedding I mean sounds terrible to me Thank god that wasn't you

Right And then Larissa goes What are the odds Keep them coming in We need to know Where we can go What we can do On this week long

Roadie with the Venute Auckland to Wellington Finishing with a huge party In the capital Sky is the limit Keep them coming in. We need to know where we can go, what we can do on this week-long roadie with the Venute. Auckland to Wellington, finishing with a huge party in the capital. Sky is the limit, New Zealand. Let's do this thing. This is the Venute North Island Tour, or Season 1, you could say. Season 1. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.

Let's do the sickie hotline, shall we? Hello, you've reached Bree andse Sikki Hotline. This is Sikki Hotline, where we call places that we don't work. And you have to get the day off, and you just need to do any which way thing that you can or say whatever you can to get the day off. Last week I made you call Pandora, the people who make the charm bracelets, and you had to say that you couldn't come in

because you'd lost your Brazilian wax charm. Maybe I've gotten confused, but they told me that one of the girls had to have this Saturday off and they needed someone to cover. Are you Shannon, our RSM? Yeah. Really?

Yeah. You don't even sound like how you normally talk. Yeah, I do have a bit of a cold. It might be that. Oh. Technically, you didn't succeed, but I had so much fun listening to it that I just gave it to you. This week it's my turn.

Who do I need to get the day off from? I want you to call very popular New Zealand designer brand, one of my favourites, Stolen Girlfriends Club. Ooh, they're fancy. They're fancy. And you need to get the day off because you've booked in a tattoo removal from your arse cheek, which is your ex-girlfriend's name. Obviously, I've got a sound light.

Soul and Girlfriend Club is speaking with Morgan. Hey, who is this? Morgan from Soul and Girlfriend Club. Hey, Morgan, it's Mark. Hey, how are you? Yeah, good. how are you? Not too bad. How can I help?

Hey, I just rang to ring a head. I was going to pop in tomorrow for some staff. Yeah. But I can't, I'm not going to come now, so if anyone's expecting me, I'm just giving a heads up, I'm not going to be in tomorrow. Okay, no worries at all. That's cool.

I'll knock that down. I've got to get a tattoo removed. Oh, man. Ouch. Yeah. Fair enough. No, that's cool. I'll knock that down. I've got to get a tattoo removed. Oh, man. Ouch. Yeah. Fair enough. No, that's cool. I will note that down. Have you ever had an ex-girlfriend's tattoo, like, oh, boyfriend or girlfriend's tattoo on you before? No, I haven't.

Is that why you're getting removed? Oh, pain in the arse. I've got to get rid of it. Have you done laser tattoo removal before? No, never. I've heard it's so sore, though, like, soarer than actually getting the physical tattoo. Oh, don't tell me that. So, all the best.

Okay, hey, thanks. I guess, like, people's, like, pain tolerances are different as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, c'est la vie, right? Namaste. Of course, of course. Viva la vida.

All right. All good. No worries. See you later. Bye. Oh, my God. Did I just nail it? Was that the easiest sicky hotline that ever was?

Can I tell you a secret? I know the name of the guy who started Stolen Girlfriends Club and I just pretended to be him. Oh, my God. Oh, that was epic. That was great. You idiot. Brie and Clint, the podcast.

ZM. You know that feeling you get when you see someone showing off and it doesn't go well for them? Mm-hmm. And deep down, even if sometimes they've hurt themselves, you just laugh. Speaking of that, did you see the boxer who had pretty much won the whole fight and he was showing off and he was like doing all these weird

things right at the end of the fight and the other boxer knocked him out. No, but that is exactly what I'm talking about. Exact situation. Same thing when you see guys who are like jogging in for a try because they think they've blitzed everybody else and then they walk it over the try line and then boom, someone

tackles them and knocks the ball out of their hand. Those people get what they have coming. This one involves a car crash. And not that I would ever wish a car crash on anybody, but you can't help but listen to this story and go, well, you deserve that, didn't you? And everyone's okay, aren't they? Everyone's okay.

Okay. It's a video going viral at the moment out of London. A guy driving a Lamborghini Huracan. Actually, I've got a pronunciation guide. Lamborghini Huracan. One of those. A Lamborghini Huracan. It's too expensive for us to even know the name of it, mate.

It's $500,000. That is crazy. This car is worth half a million dollars, and this guy has it, and there's people gathered around looking at his car like, oh, yeah, mate, nice car. There was a few of them, wasn't there? Yeah, a lot of phones out. A lot of phones out videoing him having an absolute mare.

Have a listen to this. So he revs it, does a big old skid, the whole thing slides sideways, nearly crashes into a transit van. He manages to get it back, turns it, and then it crashes, bam, straight into a brick wall, and the back of it spins around and hits a tree. It's munted. The whole thing is screwed. It's absolutely destroyed. And you know

what serves him right for doing that stuff on a public road? How old do I sound? Oh no, you do. You sound like a mum. But you're right. This car, just to give you some details, half a million dollars, does zero to 100 kilometres an hour, 2.9 seconds. It does zero to 200 k's an hour in 8.9 seconds and it does 0 into a brick wall in about 2 and a half, actually. The whole car's destroyed. Oh, I reckon it's a write-off.

I reckon half a million dollars and it's written off. Can you imagine the insurance costs on that thing? Even if he did have it insured. Poor guy's lost a lot of money, but How embarrassing too. The guy has to get out in front of everyone. Oh, $800 at him this afternoon. Have you crashed an expensive car?

Maybe you're a valet and you have to handle like Bentleys and Porsches and that sort of thing. Maybe you're on your learners and you took your parents' car out without permission. Or maybe you treated yourself to an expensive car and on the first day you wrapped it around a pole in the work car park. We don't know. What did you crash?

How much was the car worth? Oh, no. Oh, $800 at him? Well, you can text us on 9696 if you do embarrass. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. This is the sound of a guy crashing a $500,000 Lamborghini after showing off. He's on a suburban London street.

Everyone gathers around. They're like, sit car, bro. He's like, yeah, bro, sit car, man. Watch this. Does a big burnout, loses control, and prangs it straight into a brick wall. He's fine. The car's not.

Do you reckon he got out and was like, meant to do that? Nah. The tow truck showed up and there's footage of him crying. Oh. Which is insult to injury.

Like, seriously. Shouldn't have been showing off. We want to know this afternoon, that's half a million dollars worth of car right there. Down the gurgler.

Have you crashed an expensive car? It's my dream to drive something like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini but I wouldn't trust myself. I backed the Honda Accord

into a power pole last weekend. And you cried. No, I didn't cry but nearly. I love that car. Yeah, what have you crashed? Let's go.

Oh, 800 dials at him. Brandon, hello. Hello. What car did you crash, Brandon? I didn't crash it, but I crashed into it. Oh, no. I crashed into a brand-new Mercedes and a brand-new BMW, and it would have been 11 years ago tomorrow to today.

And it was all good because you had plenty of insurance, right, Brandon? No. Brandon, how much was it? How much, mate? Enough where I'm still paying it. 11 years ago? 11 years later, you're still paying for it? Yeah, probably will be for the next maybe 2030.

You reckon? Oh, mate. How much was it? I can't remember off the top of my head, but yeah, it was definitely enough. Better not think about it. Do you have insurance now? Yes. Thank God.

Are you talking on your phone while you're driving to us? No. Okay, good. Thanks. Great news. Oh, God bless you, Brandon, you poor thing. Jennifer, did you crash an expensive car? Well, yeah, sort of.

It was my partner. We'd only been together for about six months. And he had always wanted this sports car. It was his dream car. So after months of looking, he found it. It had to be British Racing Green and all the rest of it, little convertible. And he went round to the rest of it, little convertible. And he went round to the guy because it was a private sale.

He picked it up one morning, brought it home, took it to the panel beater because there was a few like little minor scratches and dents in it. Yeah. That he just, you know, we were trying to knock it down in price. So it was about 20 grand or something like that and we were going to offer 18 on your offer. Anyway, driving back to the guy, he said,

you better drive it because you're going to be driving it. So over the Auckland Harbour Bridge I go, and I end up crashing it on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, hitting another car. It was impounded because the cops thought the brakes had failed because that's what I said it had done. So we had to put it on, you know, it got towed, the other car got towed. And then we got back to the guy and we had to say, not only are we buying your car,

but you can't ever have it back again because it's actually been impounded and it's wrecked. Jeez Louise. And also we're going to have to pay the full price. Yeah. Plus then I had to also pay for all the damage that I'd done on the other car because there was no insurance. Oh, Jennifer. If only we could get a few more details. No, no, no.

Okay. I appreciate it. Is it still Wednesday? No, no. That was a good story. Hey, do you want to hear a few really good texts? Yeah. Someone texted in.

If you're quick. Yeah. Someone texted in. They said, I was moving my boss's American muscle car worth over $100,000 around the work car park and I reversed straight into another car. The other car was my car. Who cares

about your car at that stage? You'll be like, you can have my car as long as you don't charge me for that. One last one. Nicola, did you crash an expensive car? Oh my god, what a ning-nong right over here. Two thumbs facing this chump. Anyway, so I was on a first

Tinder date, like a lunchtime Tinder date, and he had had a couple of wines, and he was a rally car driver. And he got a telephone call during our lunchtime, and he was like, oh, my car, I was in a race on the weekend.

It's just been through the panel beaters. Just thought I would go pick it up. Do you mind driving it, considering I've had some wines? Don't want to risk losing my license. Rally car driver. Nicola, Nicola, Nicola, Nicola, I'm just going to cut you off just because we're pushed for time. How much did the car cost?

High 50,000. And did you crash it? Straight into the wall at the panel beaters There you are girl That's exactly what we're talking about Did you get a second date? No Oh there you go Oh Nicola

Oh Nicola Oh Nicola Oh Nicola Free and Clint The podcast ZM It's my birthday It Nicola. Free and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Hey. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Free and Clint's birthday banger. Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, where we go on the search for a great song to play for your drive home that just happens to be the number one song on your 16th birthday. Who are we going to take first? We're going to go with Kelly.

Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hello. What's your birthday, Kelly? 30th of August, 1986. Okay, Kelly, you were 16 in 2002 on the 30th of August, and on that day, this was number one. You don't know what you mean to me.

Oh, my God. Your name is Kelly, and your birthday banger is Nelly and Kelly Dilemma. My husband's name is Neil, and sometimes I refer to the two of us as Nellie. No, you do not. That is ridiculous. That is too... Oh, my God. That was written in the stars.

It's going to have to be a good one to beat that then. Let's go Brendan. Hey, Brendan. Hi, Brendan. Yo, what's going on? Who's a good Brendan hooky? Is there a famous Brendan singer? Are there any singers called Brendan?

I don't think so. No. No, I don't think there is either. Brendan, nah. What's your birthday? What's your last name? Yeah, moving right along. No.

Okay. All right. Okay. What's your birthday, Brendan? 3rd of April, 1982. Okay, Brendan, you were 16 in 1998 on the 3rd of April, and this is your birthday banger. I'd rather see you go out and play like that

and that's the way it is. This song had the coolest music video. It's Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins, It's Like That. You into this, Brendan? Yeah, yeah. I can safely say that I played that music video a lot when I was a teenager. No Hot Mess Express, of course, but... No, well, you know, you win some, you lose some.

By the way, we're being flooded with great Brendans. Brendan Urie from Panic at the Disco. Brendan Flowers from The Killers. No, that's Brandon Flowers. That's enough. One good Brendan was enough, I guess. Hey, Sarah. Hey, how's it going?

Good. What's your birthday, Sarah? 29th of June, 1992. Okay, Sarah, you were 16 in 2008 on the 29th of June. And on that day, this was number one. Great tune. Could be worse. Yeah, could be worse, yeah.

Couldn't be much better. This is Neo and Closer. You like that? Hey, not a bad one. Hey, don't mind it. Just give them a drive home. Yeah. I just think we can't really go past that one,

the first one, right? Kelly. Oh, but I hear that song a lot. Oh, okay. Yeah, sorry, I was doing it off. You were doing it off the, I get that. I was doing it on how spirited I was by the, I get that. I was doing it how spirited I was by the coincidences that took place.

And it is very cool. And it is a great song. It is a great song. What do you, what does your gut tell you to play out of those three? My gut says Run DMC. Oh, I love that song. It's a great song. I love that song. And I quite enjoyed Brendan too. Hey Brendan, we're going to play your birthday

banger. Tune. Let's do birthday banger. Tune. Let's do it, mate. Tune. What a banger. Do some breakdancing in your car, New Zealand. Zidim. Zidim, Spree and Clint, the podcast.

So if you've been listening to our show over the last couple of days, you would know that the Venute, the van slash ute that was purchased about six weeks ago, it finally arrived. Yeah, we've got it and we're currently planning its road trip. We're looking for places to go between Auckland and Wellington on a week-long trip. I drove it for the first time yesterday. How's she run?

She runs real well. Smooth. Yeah. She's got some really good features about her. She doesn't have a left side mirror, but that's fine. Just don't turn left. Don't turn left. A bit like Zoolander.

She also has a speaker on the outside of the car. Yeah, I've noticed that. I saw you drop producer Ben off and the Venga Boys was clearly playing outside the vehicle. Yeah, I'm pretty sure all of Ben's neighbours hate us now. Can you play music exclusively inside the vehicle or whatever you listen on the inside plays on the outside as well? No, you can play it exclusively or on the outside. A few problems have already arose though. Oh, yeah.

There's a few minor issues. Well, to be expected with an older vehicle, you know, with a vintage vehicle rather. Vintage, yeah. Minor issues. One being, I don't really know where the gears are or how many gears the car has. Well, because it's column shift, right? That one where you change it up by the steering wheel.

So it's up near your indicator thing. So maybe we should call the previous owner, Jeff, and ask him, how many gears does the Venute have? The man who's currently rolling around in his pile of $3,000 cash. Also, I don't know if it's diesel or petrol. Hello, Jeff speaking. Jeff, it's Bree from ZM. How are you? Good, Bree. What's going on? Oh, not much, mate. Just, you know, living my best life now it's Bree from ZM. How are you? Yeah, good, Bree.

What's going on? Oh, not much, mate. Just, you know, living my best life now that the Venute's here. Yeah, it looks so. It does. No, she's going really well. Did you have a quick second to answer maybe one or two questions? Yeah, go for it.

First question, how many gears is it? It's got five. Five, right. Five on the tree. Gotcha. I've only found three so far. That includes reverse, by the way. Beautiful vehicle, mate.

Beautiful vehicle. What a beaut. Cool. So five gears. I think we have found a YouTube tutorial. That's like a treasure hunt for the other three gears. Yeah. Great.

Awesome. Second question, Jeff. Is it petrol or diesel? It's petrol. Probably 2.2 litres. Yeah. Awesome. Hang on, hang on.

You sound very nervous there. You haven't put diesel in it already, have you? No, I haven't put anything in it yet. Oh, thank Christ. Thank God. Okay. Do you know where the petrol flap is? Do you need to ask for that?

Yeah, where's the petrol flap, Jeff? It doesn't have a petrol flap. That's why you can't find it. It's just got a lockable cap. And where is that? At the fuel tank where you normally put it in. Right. They're all fuel caps.

That was just a joke. I knew that. Of course I knew that. We're obviously joking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think there's a little key on the key ring, and that's for the lockable fuel cap. That was my last question.

What is that key for? So that answers everything. Any other special quirks about the old Venute that we should know about before we take it on the open road? Oh, no, nothing. Maybe if it's been sitting for a few days type thing, you sort of have to pump the gas a few times and then she roars into life and then she's away.

It does the odd backfire too. You can scream down the motorway and then pump the juice and then pull up beside another car, then flick the key on and then, yeah, she does a bit of a backfire. Jeff, I might do that. Jeff, this is not Fast and the Furious, mate, okay? We're looking to get this thing to run.

Nah, that's great. I think I'll do that on Ponsonby Road. They'll love it down there in Ponsonby, Jeff. Jeff, so if you put a mate in the tray as well, he can jump from ute to ute while you're going down Auckland Motorway. It's beautiful. Bye, Regan. But no, it's a classy vehicle.

Nah, she's classy. We appreciate it. She's gotten here safe, and we appreciate all your help, Jeff. Thanks for your time. Nah, that's right. You. No, she's classy. We appreciate it. She's gotten here safe and we appreciate all your help, Jeff. Thanks for your time. No, that's right. You have to take care of it. We will. I don't think this will be the last time you hear from us, Jeff.

See you, mate. Thanks, guys. See you. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Sound the bells, everybody, because science has finally done it. They have finally created a baby. No. I thought it was wedding bells. Oh have finally created... A baby. No.

I thought it was wedding bells. Oh, no, there were church bells and stuff, but no, not for that. No. Science has finally created a male birth control pill. This has been in the works for a while, hasn't it? Yeah, it has been in the works for a while. So just like women take the contraceptive pill, they've figured one out for men that men can take.

And men can now be in charge of that. And men can have the appointment to go to the doctor once every three months to update their prescription and pay for that prescription and take the pill and remember to take it every single day. Mine costs a fortune. How much? I think it costs me about $70. dollars god and you're not even having sex i know so why the

hell am i taking it no no i know it has lots of other um benefits and side effects for women as well but um yeah they've got one before i go into it um we have to have the conversation and this conversation comes up every time would you trust the man to take the pill? Depends. Depends on what? I mean, there's multiple different circumstances. Like, are you in a relationship

with this guy? Yeah, you're in a relationship. Okay. You're in a relationship. And you guys don't want to get pregnant. And I'm not saying he's lying. I'm saying he's forgetful.

Are you putting the responsibility of birth control with your long-term partner in the hands of a man? I think if the man is responsible and obviously doesn't want to have a baby at that time, then he would take it. Yeah, cool. That, in theory, is totally the right way to look at it.

In practice, a man can forget his car keys when he's in the car. So seriously, you need to think twice about that. I'm just saying we're not responsible. Would you not trust a guy? I wouldn't trust myself. No, I wouldn't trust myself. No. No, I wouldn't.

But what if the girl said to you, I'm not taking the pill anymore? Yeah. And the only other way. I would say, well, now it's up to Jesus. No, you wouldn't. I just don't think you would. Whatever it is, I don't think men are going to rush to try and take it when you hear what the side effects are.

Right, what are the side effects? I'm going to read you directly from the report. The reporter seems to think everything is hunky-dory. This is to do with the male contraceptive pill that's being developed. Despite low testosterone levels in the men taking the drug, researchers reported no serious adverse effects. However, trial participants had issues with fatigue, headache, acne, decreased libido, and mild erectile dysfunction. So no adverse side effects apart from all of those things including erectile dysfunction apart from

the erectile dysfunction welcome to my world it does go on to say that it says the female contraceptive has been available since the 1960s and common side effects include fatigue headaches blood clots acne and low sex drive yep the pill can kill you. It can kill your sex life, at least anyway. But therein, I think, maybe lies the genius. I think that's how the male contraceptive pills work. I don't think that they've managed to block the fertility of men. I think they've just found a pill that makes the downstairs bit not work, gives them a headache, and makes them too tired to get around to doing it.

It'd be in the really fine print. It's right down there at the bottom. If you are interested, safe, reversible, hormonal, male contraceptive pills will be available in approximately 10 years. And you'll only grow C-cups. That's a plus. 10 years. 10 years?

Why are we talking about this? Yeah, you missed that note, didn't you? ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. 10 years? Why are we talking about this? Yeah, you missed that note, didn't you?
