it's not like it's midnight or one o'clock in the morning. What time does the party start? The party will start 12.30. And what time will you vacate the premises to go to the festival? I'm probably going to say like 4, 4.30. So potential four hours of partying. 1.30.

What's the issue? You think there's going to be too many people now? No, like, well, Clint obviously being a dad is all, like, lame and stuff now. You literally don't know how many people are coming. Yeah, what are you asking? Here's the other thing you need to know too Bree lives in a house that was on Grand Designs So

That many people trashing a Grand Designs house? They're not trashing it How do you know? You don't even know who's invited I do know who's invited My question for you guys Is how many people is too many For your house?

Yes. 15. Yeah, 15 would be nice. I was going to say you could fit 30 quite comfortably. Yeah, 30 is my number two, I think. This is the chick who's hosting Murray's Bay Dreams at her house this New Year's. Her house is massive. She lives in a mansion.

It's a bit bigger than yours, yeah. You did say to me before That your ballpark figure was 50 So is that true? Look I did Oh my god I'm just putting it out there I did

Naked. And Ross was on my bed. How are you getting to Friday jams from your place? Well, I figure my place is, and this is the reason why I thought we could have it at my place, is that it's close enough that everyone can walk. I measured it's 3Ks. 3Ks is nothing when you've had a few drinks.

Yeah, when you've got a skinful. Yeah, don't you reckon? 3Ks is nothing. Walking school bus. Yeah. Yeah, that'll be fun. Fill your pocket with roadies. Well, I reckon.

Responsible roadies. Put your bets in. How many people do you, so these are the people I can remember inviting. Everyone here from ZM. That's 20. Easily. The girl that does my eyebrows. 21.

And her friend. Yeah, 22. Melanie Bracewell. Oh, yeah. And a couple of writers from Have You Been Paying Attention. Cool. Yeah, we're about 25 now. Who else have I invited?

Alan is inviting some of his gay mates. Nice. Some of his boyfriends. So I'm going to say that's it. Another 10. Yeah. Alan's put the invite on Grindr. Nice.

Annabelle's inviting a few of her friends. Yeah, I bet he would. Annabelle's inviting her friends. And then I've invited a few of my friends and they've invited their brother. Who's that cooked kid in Australia that went viral years ago with the yellow sunglasses?

You're the new Cody. Can you imagine? I'm going to be on 7 Sharp next week. Have you called it now? Are you saying no more people? I'm not inviting any more people. Okay. Unless you would like to attend.

Unless you're listening. In which case, Brie lives behind the countdown. Oh, can you? You've literally told people. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. You said you live in a supermarket all the time. You can beat that part, Ben.

But they don't know it's countdown. Yeah. If anything, I've done more damage to countdown than you. If I have people turn up, I'm ringing in. You're going to have people turn up, and it ain't my fault. People I don't know, trust me. I'll be like, where did you hear this from? They'll be like, Clint told me on the podcast. I'll be like, Clint! And I'll be like, where did you hear this from?

They'll be like, Clint told me on the podcast. I'll be like, Clint! They'll be like, I bought toilet paper. Here's the podcast, everybody. Enjoy! G'day, everybody. Good afternoon and welcome to the Brie and Clint show. Hello, everyone. I am being bombarded, bombarded in my inbox at the moment with links to that friend's story, that the friend's reunion is happening. I can't wait for you to eat cat food on this show.

You're just going to have to eat humble, humble cat food as they say, that's the saying. There's a bit on this show that I predicted there'd be a reunion announced before the end of the year. A reunion reboot. Well, technically, I'm already right. But Brie put a caveat on it that they need to be acting. They need to be playing their characters. So that's fine. A reunion where they all sit down and they're just not playing the characters is not a reunion reboot. I think it's pretty phenomenal what's already

happened as far as my ability to predict the future. But anyway, there's no confirmation yet. Yes, I've seen the messages that you're sending. Yes, I've seen what you're posting. Bree's getting it as well. Yes, I'm getting your suggestions of what type of cat food Clint should eat. I am getting those suggestions.

There hasn't been a decision made yet. In fact, we're getting lawyers involved in this conversation as well because someone will be eating cat food before the end of the year. All because of friends. What a weird show. Today, we've got your chance to win a month. That's four weeks

of made meals thanks to my food bag. In fact, we'll give you that chance in about 15 minutes. You just have to guess what meal we're eating. We'll tell you when you can call for that. Yeah, not too far away. Also, we've got heaps more prizes from Suntory Boss Coffee up for grabs just after, or just before four o'clock, rather. Exactly right.

Before then, though, what's the best ice cream in New Zealand? What is New Zealand's favourite ice cream? Think about that. I want you to think flavour and I want you to think brand because it's been revealed and we can identify coming into summer what is the best ice cream in New Zealand next.

These guys will be here. They can have some this Sunday at Friday Jams Live. This is the Black Eyed Peas on ZM. Gotta get gap. Gotta get gap. ZM's Bree and Clint. The podcast dip. ZM's Brie and Clint. The podcast. We've had this conversation before, Brie.

What's the best ice cream flavour? Actually, wait, wait, wait. We'll say it at the same time, okay? What's the best ice cream flavour, in your opinion? Three. Don't overthink it, mate. I don't know. Don't overthink it.

I don't know. You've got one. You've got one. You're just worried that there's a better one out there. Take the option that's right in front of you. We'll say it at the same time. Three, two, one. Boysenberry.

Goody, goody gumdrops. Oh, okay. Boysenberry. I didn't know I panicked. Well, that's okay. We have one of the best flavours back home in Aussie called Gay Time. And it is delicious. I don't know if that name of ice cream is appropriate in the current climate.

Oh, be an adult. Be an adult. It's like, what do you guys call it here? Cookie, cookie crumb? Cookie crumb. I think that's what you guys call it. Right. Well, the best ice cream in New Zealand,

in fact, New Zealand's favourite ice cream, has been crowned. I like this because it gives us a point of direction. It shows you where we're at as a country and it shows us directionally where we're heading with our ice cream. So the interesting thing about this is it's been our number one ice cream for five years running.

We don't like much change. Vanilla. Excuse me. We can do a little bit of the vanilla. Tip Top Boysenberry Ripple. I was right! Yeah, well done. Well done.

Thank you! You are, of the majority, you are swimming with the current when it comes to your favourite. I always knew I was plain. Yeah, I think it's a good option. I don't think boysenberry ripple is that plain. No, it's not that plain. No, it's got a vanilla base.

But most good things do have a vanilla base. Yeah, because you go with mostly plain and then you put a bit of pizzazz in it. Yeah, we've talked about French vanilla, haven't we? Yes. How it's the unsung hero of ice creams. French vanilla, baby. Yeah, we've talked about French vanilla, haven't we? Yes. How it's the unsung hero of ice creams. French vanilla, baby. Oh my god. What did the French do to that vanilla to make it so delicious? Give me a Viennetta.

Oh, yeah, but we... I thought we... You know, back in the day, my family was so poor. Hope my mum's not listening, but I knew that we were poor, mum. Anyway, when we would get a Viennetta ice cream, I'd be like, we're on the up. Bumper harvest.

We're fancy. Here we come. And then you cut like each individual bit. You get like two rungs. It's funny as you get to be an adult too because I think if you sampled a Viennetta now, having tried lots of different ice creams like a Duck Island and like a-

Oh, Duck Island. Hello, friends. That place is unreal. What's that really famous, delicious one in Australia? Messina? Oh, Dark Island. Hello, friends. That place is unreal. What's that really famous, delicious one in Australia? Messina? Oh, Messina. You know?

Yeah, it's good. I think, and this could be blasphemous, but I think if you try to... What the hell was that word that you just used? Blasphemous. Oh.

It could be sacrilegious. Blasphemous. I think if you try to Viennetta these days, it might taste a bit shit. I just... Don't you talk this blasphemous Things to me Because it just tastes a bit processed I don't know, I haven't had one in a long time I don't even know when to get a Viennetta

Producers, can we get a Viennetta In here tomorrow? Should we get a Viennetta? We'll get a Viennetta Can we afford a Viennetta? What are you doing, Patricia? No, we can't afford it, but we'll get it. Yeah, okay, that's fine.

If we sell something, I mean, if we, you know. Some of the other flavours that were in the running for ice cream of the year. Not hokey pokey. Entries included beetroot and ginger flavour. What? Turkey with white chocolate gravy and stuffing flavour and a Massaman curry flavoured ice cream. None of them won.

Oh, because that's a good idea for me to eat something where, you know, I'm ice cream, lactose intolerant, and then add a bit of curry in there. That's going to be a great time afterwards. Yeah, right? Yeah. Yeah, well, we'll get you one. We'll get you one to wash down the Viennetta tomorrow. Boys and Bearing Ripple, New Zealand. We're out, well, we'll get you one. We'll get you one to wash down the Viennetta tomorrow. Boysenberry Ripple, New Zealand.

Watch out, flatmates, I'm coming home. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Let's give away some Maid. Get Maid with ZM's Brie and Clint. Okay, every day we've got four weeks of Maid meals to give away. This is such a good thing to have because all of your meals for four weeks are taken care of. No, but you know why it's extra

good. Because in the lead up to Christmas, it's an absolute nightmare, havoc. You're doing everything else, so take food out of the equation. It gives you heaps more time. It's perfect. They're delicious. They're nutritious. They're fresh, made with local ingredients. And if you want to win one,

subscription that is, four weeks worth, all you have to do is guess what we're eating. Four weeks of food. Pretty simple. Are we going to put on these blindfolds? Yeah, let's blindfold up. So what we do is we haven't seen the meal. Producer Ali has been away getting it ready.

Bree and I are sticking on these blindfolds and we'll start eating and we'll describe what we think it is. And if you have your best guess, just give it your best go. All right. Then... Who's up first? Oh, I can smell it. Mm.

Oh. First person here to play is Peter. G'day, Peter. Good afternoon. How are you? Hello, Pete. All right. Smell...

I can smell lots of nice herbs in there. It smells delicious. Oh, hold on. I think I've got some... Oh, I've got them straight away. I've got broccoli. You have nice. There's broccoli involved?

Yeah, there is actually. I've been very wrong in the past, Ellie. Yes, you have. It's good to get off the mark. Well, broccoli's not the hardest one to get, is it? No. Peter, the dish involves broccoli. I know what it is.

Do you? Stop. This is yum. It is. This is yum. It is some it is. Do you? Stop. This is yum. It is. This is yum. It is some sort of gnocchi. Okay, all right. Do you know, can you taste the meat?

Can you tell what the meat is here? We know the meat is not my specialty. Because I'm blindfolded. I don't know if I'm getting a piece. Should I get you a piece? Could you feed me a piece of meat? I got the meat. I got the meat.

Well, I heard last time. It's beef. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. If we're a team. Peter, are we a team here? Yeah. I'm feeling it.

I'm going to say, is it a beef strutting off? Not beef. Listen to me. No, he wants to. Yeah. Okay, I'm listening. No, he's already put it in there. I think I hear me just say gnocchi.

Yeah, sorry, mate. We're going to have to move on. I reckon it's a beef and broccoli gnocchi. That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I think it is too. Okay, hey, Sophie. Hey, Sophie. Hello.

Do you trust us? That's a no. You know what? I'm going to just say it again. For some reason, these two can't pick a meat. It's not beef. It's not beef. I didn't say it was beef.

So, Bree, do you know what meat it is? Is it lamb? Yes, it is. Well, I agree with Brie. It's a delicious lamb nocchi. All right, Sophie, what do you want to guess today? Like, is it like a lamb nocchi, like a ragu or something? Oh, you have nailed it in one, Sophie.

Well done. Thank you, Sophie. God, I'm good at this. Thank you. Yay. Maybe I should just taste it from now, Sophie. Well done. Thank you, Sophie. God, I'm good at this. Thank you. Yay. Maybe I should just taste it from now on. I think so. Any vegetarian ones, I'd smash that.

Good. Okay, hey, congratulations, Sophie. You've got yourself four weeks of made being delivered to you. Ready in three minutes in the microwave or 20 minutes in the oven. Well done. Nice work, Soph. Yeah, no problems. Thanks, guys.

You can visit getmade.co.nz if you want to check out some more stuff to do with these guys as well. And we'll play again and give away another four weeks tomorrow. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. It is a given. I mean, we all accept it on this stage that once it goes November 1st, it's officially Christmas season. That's why we've started playing Christmas music.

Can you stop putting me in the same boat? I do not agree. I think you're a premature Christmas decorator. Okay, all right. I believe that Bree hates Christmas. Is that better? No, I think Christmas starts on December 1st, like all the normal people.

Trade Me have had a go at figuring out what the top 10 Christmas presents are for kids this year. And this list should make you feel extremely out of touch with the youth. Okay. I challenge you to know what more than like three are on this list. Okay? I'm pretty down with the kids. Are you?

Yeah. You know what they want? Yeah, I reckon. Okay, we'll start with something easy. A Hatchimal. Number 10 on the list of top 10 Christmas presents, according to Trade Me, for 2019. A Toy Story Buzz Lightyear pop vinyl.

Do you know what that is? A pop vinyl? Yeah. Yeah, the thing that you put on the back of your phone? No. No? No, it's one of those figurines right there. Oh, never heard of it.

No, okay, that's cool. We haven't got one yet. That's called a pop vinyl. Yeah, people collect them. They're collectibles. People keep them in the box. Oh, that. That's cool. We haven't got one yet. That's called a pop vinyl. Yeah, people collect them. They're collectibles. People keep them in the box. Oh, that looks dumb. Number nine on the list.

Don't look there. I want you to look straight at me, okay? Because that's the reveal. Number nine, the ninth most popular Christmas present for kids, according to Trade Me, is a soggy doggy. That sounds off, doesn't it? It does sound off. Is that like a plush toy?

I don't know. Let's find out. A soggy doggy is... Oh, yeah. It's a plush toy that I don't know. Let's find out. A soggy doggy is... Oh, yeah, it's a plush toy that you can get wet. Oh, yeah. And that's what kids want, a soggy doggy. That's cute. Not very appropriately named.

Number eight. Better than a... Oh, no. No, no, no. You guys don't have that in New Zealand anyway. No, the one with the... The Sayo biscuit. Yeah.

Well, I just said Sayo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't say anything else. Kids don't want that. Number eight, Lego city diving yacht. So it's just Lego? I imagine it's just Lego. Yeah, it's a Lego yacht.

Yeah, it's a Lego yacht. That looks dope. That looks so cool. It looks like a police yacht. It'll cost $1,400 though because it's Lego. Number seven, this is what kids want for Christmas. Oh my gosh, they're actually making this now. A Harry Potter invisibility cloak.

Oh, that's cool. But could be dangerous for kids. Nope, I'll take it back, not cool. So, oh, I see what it is. Yeah, no, it's kind of clever. So it's a green screen that you wear as a cloak and then there's an app that you put on your phone which then makes your body disappear underneath it. There's a green screen that you wear as a cloak, and then there's an app that you put on your phone,

which then makes your body disappear underneath it. That's kind of cool. So you can take photos as if you've got a visibility cloak. Is it? All right. Fucking new one. Let's race through these last ones. Number six, a boppy, the booty-shaking llama.

So it'd be a toy that moves? Yeah, it's a booty-shaking llama. Oh, that's cute. That looks cool. Number five, Pictionary Air. Oh, is that on the phone? Must be iPad Pictionary, don't be. Yeah, phone? Oh, no.

You actually draw it in the air and it comes up on the TV. Oh, that's kind of cool. That's amazing. That's Pictionary 2019, isn't it? Number four is Scruff-a-Love's Friends. No idea. Never heard of it. Scruff-a-Love's Friends. No idea. Neither. Scruff-a-Love's Friends. It's all these toys that have big eyes.

Yeah, that's the trend. Real anime looking stuff, right? Number three is LOL Surprise Ooh La La Baby. Toy Baby? Ben, that's number one. Ben? Yeah. LOL. This is its full name.

It looks like number one anyway. Lol. Surprise. Ooh la la, baby. Have absolutely no idea what that is. Number two. Treasure X aliens. Nah, never heard of that.

Oh, that looks quite cool. Oh, and they pull like an alien out of the stomach. And the stomach's full of slime. It's blue. Yeah, that's cool. That's the second most popular. Slime is very popular. Yeah, it is super popular, isn't it?

To the dismay of parents who have white carpet and stuff. Yeah, nightmare. And number one you've already seen is a bloom. And that's like a little toy doll? Yeah, and it grows out of the pot. It actually grows? You water it and it blooms out of the pot. The bloom, the number one Christmas present,

quite good, only $24. That's a good deal. How old? What age group are we thinking for these toys? That's also a very, very good question. I'm thinking probably, what, 10? Sub 10? Yeah, 10-ish. 10 and under? 10 and under. Thank God there isn't like a new Xbox that's been released this Christmas or

anything, or a new PlayStation. That could be all the way. Those Christmases would suck for parents. When I was ten, I think my, you know, highest priority present was a George Foreman. God, you were a weird kid. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM.

Very happy for my folks at the moment. They've worked very, very hard their entire lives. I don't think I've met someone who's worked as hard as my parents. My dad's an apple farmer. He's put his body to the absolute limits and they eventually sold their business a couple of years ago and they bought this beautiful piece of land and they've been building their dream house on it for the last,

I think, about four or five months. What they're doing is my personal dream. Amazing, right? Yeah. It's their... Get some land, get out of the rat race. And it has been their dream for a long time. And build a house with a media room like they're doing.

Exactly right. And, you know, they've just finished it. I'm pretty sure they moved in last weekend, which they're very excited about. And the property's quite big. It's, I want to say 500 acres. I don't know, it's big. God, I don't even know what an acre is and that sounds enormous.

It's huge. Anyway, when they bought the property, when they purchased the property, there was an old bit of, the house was a bit decrepit down the hill on this piece of land. Like the old farmhouse. Pretty much like the old farmhouse, the house was a bit decrepit down the hill on this piece of land. Like the old farmhouse. Pretty much like the old farmhouse, but there was nothing wrong with it and they put quite a bit of money into it and they renovated it. Anyway, so they did it up, renovated it.

It's actually really nice now. So there was that house on it and then probably about 150 metres up the hill is where they decided to build their new place, their dream home. Anyway, so they've just moved into their brand new house, their, you know, dream home. Anyway, so they've just moved into, you know, their brand new house, their forever home. That's where they're going to be obviously probably for however long unless they go to Italy for a bit. And my sister got married last year to her husband

and they are now living in the house 150 metres down the road. Oh, what a score. Free house. Well, pretty much. Wait, wait, wait. Did they buy the house off your parents? No. Are they paying your parents rent?

I don't believe so. Oh, sweet. Free house. So pretty much they're living there. That's their, you know. Yeah. So they're living right near my mum and dad. Mm-hmm.

Close. Mm-hmm. Close. Mm-hmm. Very close. So close that if my sister and her husband let the dogs out, because they have two dogs, and if they don't lock the dogs up, the dogs run down to my parents' house all the time. Yeah, they're like, hey, we just live next door. Can we have some food?

Yeah. My parents are always like, come and get your dogs. Yeah. Which made me think, I mean, is this actual everyone loves Raymond situation? Oh, I see what you mean. So where his parents live directly across the street. Yes. See, the different, with everybody loves Raymond.

No, it is the same, right? Because I was thinking his parents moved in across the road from him. But no, that's not true. That's his old family house, right? Everyone loves Raymond. And then he bought a house across the road from his parents. I'm pretty sure him. But no, that's not true. That's his old family house, right? I only really know it was Raymond. And then he bought a house across the road from his parents. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, no, that's it.

That's the actual storyline. So your sister has chosen to live 150 metres from your parents? Yes. Just like Raymond did? Yes. Yeah, I get you now. Yeah, so it's the exact same. And to make things even more interesting,

we're from an Italian family. Oh, just like Raymond. Just like Raymond. Yeah. Look, there's pros and cons of living that close to family. I wouldn't mind it because my parents aren't a punish. No. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love my parents and they're actually, you know, they've got their own stuff going on and I love those people. Yeah. Some people's parents, I mean, I don't know if everyone would say they would love to live that close to their parents. Some people's in-laws. Like sometimes it's your parents that are fine,

but maybe you don't get on with your partner's parents. And they're like, oh, but it's awesome, babe. Mum's across the road. She can do my laundry for me. And mum's over there. You're in the kitchen cooking and mum's over there every night going, I wouldn't put that in there. Oh, I wouldn't do that.

Oh, that's not actually how he likes it. Why don't you just step aside? I'll cook it. Just let me take care of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's what we want to ask this afternoon. On 0800DIALZM, are you and your partner in a similar situation? Do you live close to either your parents or your in-laws?

And how's that working out? Yeah, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Yeah, what's going on? How close do you live close to either your parents or your in-laws? Mm-hmm. And how's that working out? Yeah, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Yeah, what's going on? How close do you live to? Do we have next-door neighbours listening to the show? See, that would be the ultimate. Or is it the same street? Two streets over, we'll take.

Oh, $800 ZM. You can text us 9696. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast. Just discussing my parents have just finished building their dream home on a piece of land they bought. Also on that land was an older house that they renovated, which is about 200, 150 metres away from their new house. And my sister and her new husband decided they would move into that house.

Are you a little bit jealous? I'm jealous because I miss my family a lot. I miss my mum and dad a lot. Would you do it though? Probably not. Have you had the option to live 150 metres from your parents? Probably for a little while and then I'd probably get over it. But I do miss them.

So, yeah, but it's interesting because, I mean, my sister and her husband used to live with my parents. And then, yeah, my parents are moving out of that house into the new house. And so they're just moving 150 metres down the road. Win-win. We're asking if you have an Everybody Loves Raymond situation going on in your life. Do you live near your parents or your parents-in-law or do they live near you? Hi, Ben.

How's it going, mate? Good, mate. What's the deal, Ben? Do you live near the in-laws or your parents? I live near the in-laws, sadly. Oh, no, Ben. Sadly. Yeah, mate.

They don't like hunting. They don't like hunting. And what, you're hanging up pigs in the garage? No, they're not very happy with me putting some of the equipment, like the dishwasher. What are you putting in the dishwasher? Like, you know, the knives, neck cleavers, you know. Wait, do you live with them?

Do you live in the same house as them? No, I just go there because I've got a dishwasher and, you know, I've just got a sink. Wait, Ben. Ben, if you're so, okay, so you're showing up to their house with your dirty hunting gears and hucking it in the dishwasher. Yeah, well, no wonder they don't like you. And you're not happy with their attitude.

I'm happy with my feet as well. Okay, well, that's nice at least. Swings and roundabouts. G'day, Andrew. Hi, Andy. How's it going? Good, thanks. What's the deal?

What's your situation? Well, I've got my parents at the bottom of the road. I've got my dad's sister, so my auntie, like directly across the road. I've got my grandparents, which is my dad's parents, probably about like 200 metres up the road. And then I actually flat 200 metres the other way up the road. What is the go?

Yeah, do you have a partner, Andrew? I sure do. And is she not concerned that you can't leave the nest? Oh, no, no, no. I'd hope not. I mean, we've left the nest a few times. Yeah. But, I mean, I don't know.

We just seem to always float back to the rents, I guess. Andrew, I need to ask a serious question. Are you guys planning to take over that suburb as a family? Well, I was kind of thinking about it. Same with my old man, but we kind of need to

get rid of a few other people, you know, to do so. Well, you're well placed to do it. At this stage, you could just vote them out. Sounds like, it sounds like they're on one corner of the Monopoly board

and they've bought all yellow, all green, and they've got Mayfair and Park Lane. You're just standing out in the street with a checkbook going, how much? We want it. We want it.

We want it. Hi, Kim. Hi, Kim. Kimmy. Hiya. How are you going? Do you live near the in-laws or your parents? Both.

Both? Yeah, so my dad lives in a cottage out the back of our house. Yeah. And my in-laws just moved in around the corner. And how's that going, Kim? So we've got a one-year-old baby, so it is perfection. Oh, you're so good. I feel you on that front.

My four-month-old has spent two weeks away with the in-laws, and they are invaluable for that kind of stuff. So good. Any downsides? Not so far. Not that you're willing to say while you're still getting free childcare, right? Absolutely, absolutely.

I'll read out one text that we've got on this because we're talking about, do you live close to the in-laws or your own parents with your partner? And someone texts her and they said, we live 15 metres away from my in-laws and for anyone thinking about doing this, it's very simple. Don't.

Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I want to talk about Apple for a second because they've been in the news this week. They released, did you know that they released an Apple credit card? I knew it was coming. Yeah. It's like titanium. Or is it white? I thought it was going to be steel. It looked it was coming. Yeah. Is that the, it's like titanium? Or is it white?

I thought it was going to be steel. It looked white to me. Like metal coloured. Looked white, you know, like all Apple products. They have that white kind of. Or space grey. Space grey. Anyway, it doesn't really matter about the colour.

They released this credit card and essentially, you can only get it in the US at the moment, I'm pretty sure. And they plan to roll it out internationally soon. Yeah. Yeah, so it's white, silver-ish colour. It's the most Apple-looking credit card of all time. It's very plain. There's almost nothing on it.

That card right there has caused an absolute uproar in America. Why? People are losing it. Yeah. So what happened was there was this guy who he got one of the cards. He got a credit card, an Apple credit card for him. And then his wife also got an Apple credit card. Got it. So they got matching ones. Both got one. Linked? No, they both noticed that the card that he got offered him a credit limit 20 times greater

than what it gave his wife. Okay, 20 times. Even though, wait, so 20 times the limit he had. So are we talking like a 1,000 versus 20,000 situation? Pretty much, yes. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And even though, so she has a higher credit score than him. Yeah.

Anyway, people are saying that the algorithm is sexist and people are losing it. Does, now I've got to be careful what I say here. Does he earn more money than her? It doesn't say. Okay. It doesn't say in this. Oh, now I've got to be careful what I say here. Does he earn more money than her? It doesn't say. Okay. It doesn't say in this. Oh, did it say?

Yeah. Does she have a reckless past when it comes to online shopping? No, she's got a better credit score. Oh, okay. Well, then it doesn't make any sense. She's got a higher credit score than him. Yeah. And he actually was really annoyed by it.

He was like, I don't understand. So anyway, he was kind of like, I think he tweeted Apple and he was like, can you explain this pretty much? And Apple didn't respond immediately and obviously they went into like panic mode. Damage control, sure. Yeah, and I don't know the full T's and C's and all the rest of it, but apparently the Apple card finally raised her credit limit

without addressing the scoring system. Do we believe him? And the reason I say that is, is there any chance that he's gone in and got two credit cards and he's intentionally got his wife one with a low limit so that she can't spend their money? No, she got her own. Oh, she got it for herself?

Yeah, she got it for herself. Oh, okay. She didn't need him to go get it. Right. But, yeah, anyway, people are like, you know, why? Why is this happening? I don't know. People are losing it over it.

What do you think, Producer Ellie? What do you reckon? I'd like to know if it's an isolated case and whether this happened more times. Yeah, and that's what other people are asking. I reckon you're right. I reckon you need to take a stand. Let's smash your iPhone. No, not going to do that.

Just think on it, Kate. I think it would send a powerful message. We'll see what Apple come back with first. Okay, sweet. I'm on standby though. I've got a first. Okay, sweet, yeah. I'm on standby, though. I've got a hammer. No, no, it's okay. Zidim Spree and Clint, the podcast.

Look, I know there'd be a lot of parents out there that would just be like, oh, these bloody toddlers, I tell you. They're a bunch of trouble, you know, especially the twos, terrible twos. They just cause heaps of trouble. What are they good for, you know? Make them grow up already. Well, this story might change your mind because this toddler has actually done something really amazing.

Finally, a useful toddler. Well, pretty much. I mean, what else do they do? They sit around and eat and scream. Big poos, I think. Big poos, yeah. This one's 20 months old. He's a boy.

His name's Anthony. And he has won his parents a trip. Oh, well done, Anthony. He's only 20. I'm not saying 20 months old. Why not? No, he's nearly two. Okay.

He's nearly two. Anyway, so. You're so triggered by that, aren't you? I am so triggered by the month thing. Just say he's nearly two. But 18 months is very different to a parent to 20 months. Well, that's a year and a half. Okay, all right. Anyway, he was at home.

As a parent, you're literally counting the days. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if my parents go, oh, my God, he's 481 days. Yeah, see, I'm triggered. I'm triggered by that. Anyway, this kid is nearly two, and he's won his parents a trip so what happened was his dad got a call from their cable company um which was a canadian cable company

congratulating him on winning a trip to japan um which the dad was like wait a minute i never entered anything like this this is a scam yeah so he pretty much asked the guy on the phone multiple times he goes wait this is a scam i didn. So he pretty much asked the guy on the phone multiple times. He goes, wait, this is a scam. I didn't enter anything. What's going on? This wasn't me. I don't understand.

Anyway, they finally figured out that his nearly two-year-old son had actually rented a movie on their cable network. It was actually Alita Battle Angel, if you haven't seen it. Rented that movie, which was, they were running a promo that everyone entered, everyone that watched that movie was entered into a draw for a seven-day trip for two people to Tokyo, Japan. How good.

Including airfare, hotels, spending money, the whole lot. Boom, shakalaka. And anyway, they did not even know that the toddler had watched this full movie. This has got to be the first example of a positive story of kids being able to order things on their parents' accounts. It's usually just you find out a kid's racked up a $9,000 bill on Farmville. You know? This is the first time.

He's nailed it, this kid. At this stage, It doesn't matter If the kid paid $55 For a Leisure Battle Angel Who cares Who cares Give him more options Yeah

Get that kid Get that kid Head down the pub now Give him 20 bucks Whack it in the pokies Get that kid spinning That's a lucky kid Get the kid to the track

Let's pick some horses Kid Show me where the money is Show me where the money is Kid Show me where the money is That kid is good luck Let's Let's Let's pick some horses. Kid, show me where the money is. Show me where the money is, kid. Show me where the money is. That kid has good luck. Let's ride him now. That's illegal.

Sorry, I got... The kid can't bet. I got caught up in the lucky... Can't actually bet on anything. I got caught up in the lucky kid. Oh, God, I hope my kid's lucky. Bray and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Once upon a time, there was a girl.

She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. We're guessing movies, and if you can outgu. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? We're guessing movies, and if you can outguess Brie, who currently holds a score of 26 games to nine for the year, you'll score free mobile fuel.

Taking you on today is Ali. Hi, Ali. Hi, Ali. Hello. Hi. Hi, hi, hi. We've got into the habit of doing themes for these games, which I quite enjoy.

Producer Ben has been helping me with the themes. We were going to do a theme today, movies that 50 Cent was in. Is there enough? Because he's coming for Friday Jam's Live. Well, Ben goes, there's heaps. And there is. Get rich or die trying is the only one

people would know, I'd say. Yeah, I don't know any of them either. Yeah, that's the only one I know. So no disrespect, Producer Ben, but we've had to scrap that theme, okay? Oh, Ben's walking out. He's had enough. Instead, Ellie, today the theme is movies that start with the.

Okay? That's our theme. Okay. Movies that start with the. Your buzzer is your name and you don't need to wait for me to finish the entire plot before you have a go at answering it. Good luck, everybody.

First, best of three. Two days before his wedding, Doug and three of his friends... Brie. The Hangover. Ooh, The Hangover. You'd think it was correct, wouldn't you?

The Hangover 2. Is correct. Brie. No, Brie. You know how I know it's correct? I love that you got in there. I love it.

Because Doug was the one who was getting married in the first film. Exactly right. Oh, see, that's where she's going. People think I guess, but actually there's some method to my madness. Yeah, okay. What's your favourite? Clint, yeah, alright. Yeah, alright, alright.

What's your favourite category of movies, Ellie? Oh, I don't know. Comedy, maybe? Yeah, me too. Yeah, all right. Well. Just do your best. All right.

The Silence of the Lambs. I haven't seen it. Neither have I. Oh, it's good. It's good. You should watch it. It's not a comedy. Is that the bottle of Ch it. Neither have I. Oh, it's good. It's good. You should watch it. It's not a comedy. Is that the bottle of Chianti one, Ali?

No, no, no. It's the Hannibal Lecter, the guy with the mask. It's the hand lotion. It puts the lotion in the basket. Does he say in a bottle of Chianti? I don't know. Like I said, I haven't seen it. Hard to say.

Hey, guys, welcome to tie break. This is good. This is where I was hoping we would arrive. It's just a bit stressful Yeah and it should be stressful You sound like you really Want this Ali I feel like whoever

The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. Wardrobe. Yes! I thought maybe one of you would say lion, witch, and the wardrobe, and I'd go, no, it has a that on the front. Well done, Brie. I would have also have accepted The Chronicles of Narnia, but we're not here to nitpick. Okay, I would have accepted either of those.

You know what? I think for Ali's passion, we should give her the fuel. You know what? That's a deal. Congratulations, Ali. Thank you so much. You're a good sort, Ali. You deserve it.

Oh, you know what? Thank you so much. What a great day. 27 games to nine for the year. You're a good sort, Ali. You deserve it. Oh, you know what? Thank you so much. What a great day. 27 games to nine for the year. Can the people get above 10 before Christmas? Well, we'll have to wait to find out next year. Can she get to 30?

ZM, Spree and Clint, the podcast. Let's get you along to see Tones and I, shall we? ZM presents Tones and I. She's coming. She plays Bay Park Arena in Tauranga on January the 5th. That's where we did the Skids in the Venute that time. Oh, yeah. It's going to be an awesome show.

It's an all-ages show. It's her only New Zealand show. Thea is supporting. Tickets are on sale now from theticketfairy.com. But we have double passes every day. All you have to do is decipher the song that Bree is playing on the keyboard. Yeah, Tones and Try, we like to call it, because I don't have any background in keyboard. No.

But I feel like... Or piano, or music for that. Yeah, I'm musically challenged. But I feel like I may have picked up a little bit of the piano or keyboard this week. This is your third attempt, and you'd have to say you're getting better. Surely. Judging by the guesses, in fact, if we can get this in one,

then I'll say that you've aced it. Should we go? Yeah, let's hear it. So what song is this? This is a Zedium playlist song currently. Here we go. You did it better the last time. Not a way, wait, wait.

Not a way. I'll just give you a bit more. More confidence, please. Okay, okay, you ready? Yeah. No, you missed a bit again. I think we've got the gist of it. Let's see if Nick knows what it is.

Nick, do you know what that is? Is it Lizzo Truth Hurts? Or is it Lizzo Truth Hurts? It is. Well done. Congratulations. Is it Lizzo Truth Hurts? It is. Well done. Congratulations, Nick. You're off to see Tones and I live at Bay Park. Nice work, Nick.

Oh, that's awesome. Thank you, guys. No problems. Well, well done, mate. Maybe you've finally found your instrumental choice. Tomorrow, I'm going to play Coldplay. Imagine if you're a closet virtuoso. Maybe.

Imagine if in there is like, you know, like you're like a piano master. Actually, my hands hurt a little bit after practicing. Yeah, you have a rest. Bree and Clint, the podcast. You know that awkward moment when you find out that two of your workmates are dating? Yeah, I mean, it can be awkward

but what's wrong with that? No, there's nothing wrong with it, I feel, if they're up front with you from the start. If it's love, then, well, maybe they feel like, you know, they wanted to make sure it was real before they brought it out into the light. Sure, well, maybe I'm about to bring it out into the light a little bit too early, but I don't care because it's time for an investigation. Recently, Bree, you made the bold announcement on this very show

that you are seeing someone. It went a little bit like this. Recently, I have started seeing someone. Very proud of you for doing that. Yes, thank you, thank you. Stepping forward and saying something. You've not let us know who that someone is. In fact, you've given us very little details whatsoever about this person.

Well, that's for good reason. Yeah, because you have a big mouth. very little details whatsoever about this person. Mm-hmm. Well, that's for good reason. Mm-hmm. Yeah, because you have a big mouth. Apparently, a similar thing happened on another show here on ZM. It's been brought to my attention on Facebook. Kane Stewart has posted, so with the awkward Megan moment of outing Fletch as seeing someone and then you guys awkwardly tiptoeing around the conversation that

Brie is seeing someone, is it fair to say that Brie and Fletch are seeing each other? Is this a question or an accusation? I'll just leave it with you for a second and I'll bring to the conversation because it would be unfair not to. Carl Fletcher himself from Fletch, Warren and Megan.

Fletch, good afternoon. Good afternoon. Hey, babe. I mean, hi, Fletch. Oh, hey, babe. Right, okay. Yeah, there's a bit of evidence floating around, and as a detective, the jigsaw pieces are just starting to slot together in a way that I can't explain.

So you've got a mystery person that you're seeing. I don't have a mystery. Why do I always have a mystery person I can't explain. So you've got a mystery person that you're seeing. I don't have a mystery. Why do I always have a mystery person I'm seeing? It's because I don't tell anyone anything. Yeah, well, this is the problem. Yeah, and you're a smart man because this happens, apparently. I say one thing on this show, Fletch, and look what's happened. Okay, I don't want to get into lover's tiff here, okay?

I don't want to get between you two. Oh, my God, is this our first fight? Yeah. It could be. So is your statement, Fletch, that you're not seeing Brie? Is that what you're saying? I'm not seeing anyone. Okay, and Brie, your statement is?

I am seeing someone, yes. You are seeing someone. Oh my God, are you cheating on me? Let me bring a little bit more evidence to the table. Last night, Brie was on Have You Been Paying Attention? Yes. Where she was alongside Tom Sainsbury. Yes, I love Tom.

Tom paid us a visit to the studio last week. We both kissed him for a radio stunt. Yep. I kissed him on Little Peck. You went in for an open mouth kiss. And then last night on Have You Been Paying Attention? I'd argue he went in for an open mouth. This happened.

We do have an announcement. You make a public declaration of love on TV that you're seeing Tom Sainsbury. I technically never said we're seeing each other. I just said I've got an announcement to make and then we pashed. Which would think that lets you off the hook, doesn't it, Fletch? Yeah, I mean, the only time Bree's come around

to my house was before the Killers and she fell down the stairs because we were too drunk. Okay, Fletch! This is not an expose on me! You're meant to have my back! This is absolutely an expose on you and Fletch and now Tom Sainsbury because, Fletch, my final piece of evidence comes from

your Instagram account where last night you posted a photo with Tom Sainsbury saying, don't tell Vaughan or a photo with Tom Sainsbury saying, don't tell Vaughan or Bree, but Tom Sainsbury, you're my favourite. Fine, fine. Because he's funnier, isn't he? Fletch, if it's okay with you,

I'm just going to come out and say it, because I'm sick of this. I'm sick of this crap. I'm just going to come out and say it. Me, Fletch and Tom Sainsbury, we're in a thruple. That's hot. Yes.

Damn, that's hot. We are one of those poly-europhane couples. Whatever you call it. I mean, it's unorthodox, but it's different. It's nice. I don't know that I've ever had three people on the cover of Woman's Day before, but I think we need to make it happen. It's awkward because we need to push our two queen-sized beds together and someone always falls in the crack.

Yeah, we do need to get on top of that. Well, I need to get on top of that. Nothing worse than someone falling in the crack, am I right? I think I'm the real winner here because I've got two big strapping men and you know what they say? What? No, I better not say that at this time on the radio. That's totally fine.

Fletch, congratulations and thank you for taking our call this afternoon. See you tonight, babe. Oh, what? Okay, thank you. It feels good to have the truth out there. We can move on with our heads held high. ZDM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. It's my birthday.

Back to Backstreet Boys. Yeah, that was good. Back to Backstreet Boys for Birthday Banger. Backstreet's back, all right. For Vanessa. Yeah, for Vanessa. Good work, Vanessa. I'm on a high now.

I'm on a high. Bree and Clint, the podcast. Zed in. I need to talk about this article that I saw on The Herald, which was talking about the rules of the middle seat on the plane. Someone finally published the rules. I mean, we've all talked about the rules. We know the rules. We do know. No, not everybody does.

Remember, I introduced you to the rule that the middle seat gets both armrests. Yeah, I do recall that. The aisle gets the aisle, the window gets the window, and the middle gets both armrests. I think that's pretty well known now, isn't it? Yeah, thanks to us. Thanks to us. But there was an interesting thing in this article that I didn't know happened and I don't know if it does happen. I wanted to test it on the show today

where it said in the article that if you're travelling as a couple usually one person in the couple has to sacrifice and sit in the middle seat. If you want to sit together. If you want to sit together. Yeah. Which I mean, when do you not want to sit together? You probably shouldn't be in a couple.

You know what I mean? Oh, some couples are weird. Some couples like their own space. Remember I told you the other day that my parents went and saw separate movies? Yeah, but that's different. That is different because it's the content. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, and they were talking about how some couples, one person books the window seat and the other person books the aisle seat. So they're in the same row. Oh, but then you have to punish some person and sit them between you. Pretty much. Why would you do that?

Because you want a window and they want an aisle. Exactly. So no one has to sacrifice themselves and sit in the middle. In the middle seat. Which, do you reckon that happens? Here's the thing though. If sitting next to a stranger is the issue,

you're making both of you do it. No, but I don't think that is the issue. That's not the issue? I think the issue is the middle seat is the worst. I've never heard of anyone doing it. I've never heard of anyone as a couple booking window and aisle and leaving a seat in the middle. Because like for you, what's your favourite seat? Window, because I put my head on the window and seat in the middle. Because like for you, what's your favourite seat?

Window, because I put my head on the window and I go straight to sleep. And your wife Lucy, what's her favourite seat? She'll take the middle. No, no, no. What is her favourite seat? No, it's her favourite seat, the middle seat. No, it's not. Because I'll sleep 10 hours on a plane.

It is not the... And then she doesn't have to climb over me to go to the toilet. She's a frequent weir. Oh, you are so deluded. Her favourite seat is not the middle. She sits in the middle for you. Yeah, and that's lovely. That's why I love her.

Yeah, and I'm saying that's a... That's why I'm going to buy her a mansion one day. That's a beautiful thing that she does that. But what is her actual favourite seat? I don't know if I've asked her. You're horrible! Anyway, let's say, for example, it's the aisle. Yeah.

So that's why... I hope not because then I'd have to sit in, for example, it's the aisle. Yeah. So that's why this company. I hope not because then I'd have to sit in the middle and no one likes the middle. Or you do what this article says and you book a window seat and she books an aisle seat. Yeah. And you both get the seats that you want. Do you think people do that?

I don't think so. Maybe. But that's what we're going to find out right now. 0800 dials at M. Do you do this with your partner? When you fly on an airplane, are you booking a window seat and are they booking an aisle seat or vice versa? Yeah, we want to know why.

Do you not sit together? Yeah, do you not sit together? Yeah, or do you... Do you sit opposite ends of the plane? Yeah, do you book complete opposites? Do you go in business and they go in economy? Or someone on the text machine said, Yeah, do you book complete opposites? Do you go in business and they go in economy? Oh, someone on the text machine said, I'm a travel agent.

This is so common. Okay, let's get that person on and we'll come back with some info next. Discussing something which, I mean, I've never heard of this before. And have you? No. I don't think you have either. No. Which we're talking about the rules of the middle seat and then this article said that you shouldn't be booking as a couple the aisle seat and the window

seat and leaving the middle seat free. On an aeroplane. On an aeroplane. Yeah. And we were talking about you know why would people do that which I get it because that means you get the seat you want and then she gets the seat she wants and no one has to sacrifice and sit in the crappy middle seat. Well, the solo traveller does. They get put between a couple and there'll be a conversation going on across you.

Which that is punishing, isn't it? Yes. Let's talk to some people and see if they do it. Hi, Jackie. Hi, Jackie. Hi. Have you done this before? So my husband and I, we don't do aisle and window seats,

but we sit opposite aisle seats from each other. Yeah, see, I like this idea. Ah. I think that's good. Pretty good. Yeah, because you both like the aisle seat, obviously. Well, I can sleep anywhere, anytime. Me too.

So on our long haul flight to the Philippines, I fell asleep like that. And he can't sleep on planes or in cars or anything, so he was able to get up and about and do what he needed to do Right, so you like the freedom That's a good travel hack that I'd never thought of People who like the aisle seat love freedom, don't they? Freedom! Freedom! Hi Denise

Hi Denise, do you do this with your partner? Yeah, usually I like the window and he likes the aisle and then we just hope that there's no one in between us and we get a whole row to ourselves. So that's the goal, right, is to, you know, where you hit the jackpot and no one books the seat in the middle. But what if someone does, Denise?

Well, then I think one of us usually sacrifices and just asks to switch with them usually. Oh, okay. So you won't hold out. Because the other option is you'd be so obnoxious that that person gets asked to move and then you go, yes, free seat.'t hold out. Because the other option is you'd be so obnoxious that that person gets asked to move, and then you go, yes, free seat. Yeah, well.

Yeah. Start hooking up across them. Like, start just pashing each other, like, in their lap. I mean, you never know. It could end up as something else. Lucy's here. Hi, Lucy. Hi.

Lucy, tell us, have you done this with a partner? I have, and it's worked nearly every single time. We have the middle seat free. Really? So that is the tactic? Yeah, we travelled internationally all the way to Europe, really long haul flights and that seat's always been free except for once

and the air hostess told us at check-in so we swapped at check-in so that we weren't mean to them. Right, so you, like that one time it did, you guys just swapped so you were sitting next to each other? Yeah, yeah, because we don't want to make, yeah, it's just the uncomfortable for everyone. Inconvenient someone else.

We'll just quickly talk to Patricia. Patricia, you've been the person stuck between a couple before? Yep, from the US to New Zealand. I was in the middle seat of the middle section. And so what, they didn't offer to obviously swap so they didn't offer to obviously swap, so they were sitting next to each other? No, I asked them if they wanted a swap,

and they said, no, I'm happy. Oh, and how was that for you, Patricia? It was the worst because there was four seats in front of us, and we were in a seat of three, so we had to share a tray. So I had half my tray table on one side and half my tray table on the other. Are you now officially a member of that couple? Yeah I was going to say how's the polyamory going for you? Well we have to adopt you now. Patricia's like I live with them now and it's you know

it's okay. We're past it. It's okay. Travelling is a breeze. Hi Vicky. Hi Vicky. Hi. Tell us what have you got? Have you done this before? Yeah we do it all the time back to UK, me and my husband, just like the others, in hopes of getting the middle seat to ourselves. Yeah. Right.

So it's a travel hack. Can you, like, shed some light on this, Vicky? Have you ever done this with your partner? Someone on the text machine literally just texted this. They said, sometimes me and my partner, we will book separate flights. Why? Obviously, they need some time apart. Yeah, we will book separate flights. Why? Obviously, they need some time apart. Yeah, I was going to say.

I mean, you definitely will have a bit of space, probably a few hours and a few hundred kilometres. All right, Vicky. I'm going to go get some space. Yeah, thanks for your call, okay? Thanks, Vicky. Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM. A list has been released, as it is every year, by People magazine,

detailing who is the sexiest man in the entire world. You seen this? No, I haven't seen it. You don't know who it is? No, I don't know who it is. No, it's always a little bit contentious, because everyone's got different tastes, right? And I just think, yeah, why are we putting people in a box these days?

Yeah. I mean, just because they think this particular person is hot, does that mean I'm going to think they're the hottest person? Well, you tell me, actually. And I thought we'll run through historically. I want to cover off the last 10 years of sexiest men. Men's? Men.

He's getting better as he gets older, isn't he? As he gets a bit wiser, he's getting a little bit better at the speaking. Look at his dark beard. I think I might be going a little bit into Michael Caine here.

Have I transitioned from David into Michael Caine? No, you would never, David, I don't think. Some men just want to watch the world burn. Do you, David? Hey, it's me, David. Victoria, which shoe does go on my left foot and which shoe goes on my right foot? Do you want some more food, Oliver? Okay,

He's very big man. 2017's People Magazine Hottest Man of the Year, Blake Shelton. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's attractive. Not for me, though. Don't lie. That was a weird year that we did Blake Shelton from The Voice.

Yeah, he's very tall. He hooked up with Gwen Stefani and people went, shit, he must be hot. He's very tall. 2018, oh, I can get on board with this. That's a tall drink of water. Idris Elba was People Magazine's sexiest man of the year. I think I just got pregnant.

He's another one that we can't. Oh, my God, look at him. It's hard to watch Luther in my house anymore. Just because he is so attractive. Yeah, I'm feeling things in my places. He comes on and I go, man, maybe I should wear more cardigans. And my wife goes, not you. He actually gives me the fanny flutters.

He does. Please don't say that. That's He actually gives me the fanny flutters. He does. Please don't say that. That's fine to say. It's not fine to say.

Yep. Love. Also known as Mr Chrissy Teigen Love both of them Is that a tick? I'd definitely be in a thruple With those two

Chrissy Teigen And John Legend He's a bit of me I agree Make it a quadruple Hell yeah ZM Spree and Clint The podcast

There's nothing I don't like to see people Kind of lose their crap On live TV Oh yeah or on radio because I think to myself, that could be me one day. It's been a while since we've had a local blowout. Yeah, right.

But I've come across this piece of audio of a guy who works for ESPN. He's one of the highest paid personalities on ESPN, which he commentates a lot on the basketball, on the NBA. Some people listening might know him. I had never heard of him, but he's a big deal. His name's Stephen A. Smith. Do you know him? No, I don't really follow basketball.

And I'm pretty sure he's based in New York. Anyway, recently, and if you don't follow the NBA, pretty much the gist of it is that. Oh, I've seen him now. I know that guy. Yeah, that guy. I've seen his face. Pretty famous dude.

He's the voice of the NBA, basically. Pretty much. Pretty much. Big, big time celebrity in terms of, yeah, sport and ESPN. Yeah. Anyway, the gist of what's happening at the moment, from what I can pick up, is that the New York Knicks, which is obviously the New York team in the NBA,

are having a bit of a bad run for the last five, six years. They're having a pretty crappy run. They're on their Auckland Blues hot streak. And you know what it's like. Obviously, we know what it's like with the Auckland Blues. You know, people get quite upset about... Especially if you should be good. Exactly right.

The New York Knicks over the years have been a very competitive team. And obviously in New York, it's a big thing and people get really upset about it. New York want a good team. They want to be able to... Because their home court is Madison Square Gardens. Like the Blues. Their home field is Eden Park. How cool would it be if you could go and to – because their home court is Madison Square Gardens, like the Blues. Their home field is Eden Park. How cool would it be if you could go and see your team win at somewhere

like Madison Square Gardens? It would be amazing. And so, you know, the fans are very restless. And so to cut a long story short, on Monday the Cleveland Cavaliers beat them 108-87. And this commentator, Stephen A. Smith, was on the radio show. He'd had enough, and he loses his crap talking about the Knicks. Okay, here it is here.

I'm embarrassed. Enough showers, baths, and the beyond does not eradicate the stain, the stench that hovers over me every time my name is associated with this damn franchise. I'm talking about the New York Knicks. The New York Knicks were so embarrassing last night. ESPN Radio in New York City is the flagship station for the New York Knicks, and I'm still telling you, they stink. How do you come out in a press conference with a straight damn face in the immediate aftermath of an atrocious loss to a hapless Cleveland Cavaliers squad?

Well, he's not wrong. I know. Don't get him commentating a Warriors game, whatever we do. Jesus! Zedding's free in Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards easy if you
