Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. I'm gonna come out with um we talk about
this a bit actually like stuff that we're watching. I've got another one that we watched recently.
Has anyone watched that doco that's on Netflix at the moment called Game Changers?
No I haven't but I want to. Oh yeah I've heard about it. The one about all the athletes and
stuff who go plant-based. Yeah. They all ditch
meat. Have you seen it? Is it good? Yeah, I've seen it.
It's quite interesting. Okay.
You haven't seen it? No, I've watched
like the first ten minutes
I think. And then got bored as hell.
Yeah, okay.
There's a bit in there which is
quite outrageous where
they do all these
experiments on people,
particularly athletes, about removing meat from their diet.
Actually, all animal products, not just meat.
It's like quite vegan focused rather than vegetarian focused.
And they do all these different experiments like strength and then endurance and things like that.
They get these American football players
and they do an experiment on them where they've got this machine
and it's got two rings
and you place each of the rings over your...
Right, your downstairs.
Downstairs operation.
And they measure you.
You have a meat meal one night
and it measures on those players
the size and duration of the excitement that happens down there.
Oh, yeah.
Because it happens to men during sleep.
It's like hours on end.
It goes up, goes down, goes up, goes down on men in their sleep involuntarily.
And then they did it the second night where they gave them a plant-based meal.
So they made them like mushroom tacos or something for dinner.
And then they measured them again.
And all three players ended up with a bigger...
Really?
That was harder for longer on a plant-based diet.
Ah, okay.
Is that not the most out-of-control advertisement
for going vegan you've ever heard?
Yeah.
If you go vegan, you'll get a bigger penis.
Well, it won't grow bigger.
It literally grows bigger.
It gets bigger during that moment.
It's bigger.
So what you're saying is meat doesn't help the meat
Maybe that's what they say, I don't know
But I thought as Ben, as our resident
You'd eat the most meat of anyone on the team
I bought about four steaks today
It's your passion, right?
Yeah
Is the idea of a larger and more useful member
Enough to move you over to a plant-based diet?
Yep.
It is.
I don't know.
Yeah, but the age-old saying, it doesn't matter if it's larger and bigger and stronger if you don't know what you're doing with it.
That's a very good point.
Yeah, that's true.
It doesn't matter, does it?
Do you know what you're doing with it?
No, but I'm pretty good on the barbecue.
Yeah, I thought we pretty good on the barbecue. Yeah, are we talking about the...
I thought we were talking about a barbecue.
I thought we were
talking about...
Right. Interesting
though. I was talking about a four burner
gas burner barbecue. Yeah, so am I. Anything
that's got to be four or bigger for me.
I mean, it doesn't matter how big your barbecue
is if you don't know how to use it.
If you've got a male friend who tells you that he's going plant-based after watching that documentary...
He's got a small pee-pee.
Exactly.
Yesterday's podcast, everybody. Enjoy.
G'day, everybody. Good afternoon and welcome to the show, Brie and Clint.
Hello team.
How are you mate?
Good, how are you?
Going good, definitely on the second round of dust blowing through from Friday Jam's life.
Yes, we had yesterday off, which I'm very grateful for.
I feel pretty good, I'm not going to lie.
I went home early after the show.
Didn't hit the after party.
That's smart.
God, you're growing up, aren't you?
Yeah.
Today on the show, special guest Benny joins us live in studio.
She is on an amazing run at the moment after taking home four New Zealand Music Awards.
She's going to have a go at winning something else.
That's the Insta Fame game.
She's going to play you.
Hasn't she won enough?
Well, she'd like a nice round number,
like a five.
Four awards.
I mean, come on.
She's incredible.
She's awesome.
She's coming in studio
to play with us a little bit later.
But next,
there's a new story out
about New Zealanders failing
in a general knowledge quiz.
And a lot of them are questions
that we really should be
a lot better at.
Well, what was one of them?
We already saw one, didn't we?
So one of the questions was,
were early human beings around
at the time of the dinosaurs?
Yeah, were the earliest human beings around
when the dinosaurs were around?
It's 100% a no.
Well, you'd think so.
70% of New Zealanders got it right.
That's the good thing.
30% of New Zealanders thought that Kiwis were still alive,
that people were alive during the dinosaur era.
Well, is there any proof?
Maybe they were.
We're going to take that quiz next, and you can take it with us, okay?
If you want to test your general knowledge,
we're going to get the actual questions from the actual quiz,
and we're going to take each other on, and you can play as well.
I love when we test our own knowledge on the
show. I know right. I love it. We'll do it
after Drax Project.
Bree, Bree, Bree, ZM
It's going to be a disaster.
ZM, Spree and Clint. The Podcast.
There has been a
quiz given to over a thousand
New Zealanders all aged
over the age of 18 and
more than half of Kiwis have failed in this general knowledge quiz.
It's been done by a group called some business group,
just trying to see how smart Kiwis are and where the gaps in our knowledge.
Is that one of the questions?
Because you're already one down.
I know, right?
And they say there's gaps in our general knowledge
because our school curriculum is too flexible
and schools are allowed to make stuff up.
I don't know if that's actually the case.
What a load of hooey.
I know, right?
I think school curriculum isn't flexible enough.
I agree with that.
What, like they should be teaching us how to do a tax return.
Yeah.
That's what they should be teaching.
Yeah, yeah, or who scored the best try at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
How to get a home loan.
That's what they should be teaching us.
Not Pythagoras.
Let's see if the
results are accurate
or whether it was
just a bloody hard quiz.
I think I've got
pretty good general knowledge.
We've got Quizmaster
Ellie in studio.
Hi there.
And you and I,
Bree, are going to
take this quiz.
You're going to answer
four of the questions.
Is this Kiwi skewed though?
There are a couple
that I'm not going to include
because there are two questions that are Kiwi skewed,
which I haven't included yet.
We'll learn you Kiwi questions.
You bloody live here, mate.
I reckon I'd know them anyway.
You can ask them.
Should we give it a go?
Yeah, go on.
Okay, you'll go first and I'll go second.
So you want four and I'm right for Brie, yeah?
Yes, please.
And you can play this at home as well.
Test your general knowledge.
Okay, sweet.
Brie, how long does it take for the Earth to orbit the sun?
Is it A, 300 days, B, 100 days, or C, 365 days?
It's 365.
That is correct.
Well done.
Well done.
Nice.
That was an easy one to start off.
It's not bad, that one.
No maths.
No, no maths.
Okay.
Okay, I'll try.
No, that's okay.
You can ask me that.
Do antibiotics kill viruses as well as bacteria?
Yes or no?
No, it just kills the virus.
Yes, it just kills the bacteria, but nice.
Yeah, you got it right because the answer was no.
Yeah.
Okay.
Nice.
Nice.
Okay.
I'll give you this one.
This is a New Zealand related one. Okay, no, give me the New Zealand. I should know this stuff. Okay. I want to know this stuff. Okay. I'll give you this one. This is a New Zealand related one.
Okay, no, give me the New Zealand.
I should know this stuff.
Okay.
I want to know this stuff.
Sweet.
In what year was the Treaty of Waitangi signed?
Was it A?
No, I think I know this.
Yeah, okay.
You know this, I'll be seriously impressed.
Okay, nice.
Okay, is it A, 1822?
Yep.
B, 1840?
C, 1842?
Or D, 1860?
It's either 1840 or 1842.
And what's your gut telling you?
My gut says 1840.
Yes, mate.
Correct.
Well done.
Car pie three.
Well, you're three from three. This is for a clean sleep. I Googled it the other day. I actually Googled that the other Correct. Well done. Wow. Car pie three. Well, you're three from three.
This is for a clean sleep.
I Googled it the other day.
I actually Googled that the other day.
Nice work.
Okay.
And now this is your fourth one.
In the sentence, their house is large.
Oh, I know this one.
What is the correct spelling for there?
It'll be there.
There's three different ones.
Yes.
Yep.
So what's the question?
When it is their house is large.
Their house is large. Their house is large.
Yeah.
T-H-E-I-R.
That is correct.
Four out of four, mate.
Damn.
Well done.
So I've got a clean sweetness just to be able to be called equally as intelligent as Queen.
Yeah, you do, really.
Okay.
Oh, you sound like that is a...
Go on, then.
All right.
Was Winston Churchill real or fake?
Real. That's correct. Nice. That's easy. That was a really random one, eh? Go on then Alright Was Winston Churchill Real or fake? Real
That's correct
Nice
That was a really random one
Is that a question
Fake
He's one of the Avengers
Is Abraham Lincoln
What is the capital
Of Australia Clint?
Is it Canberra
Sydney
Melbourne
Or Brisbane
Canberra
Nice work
That's two out of two
I don't because I told you
The other day
You didn't teach me The capital of Australia, okay?
Yeah, well.
Next.
Imagine you put $100 in savings with 2% interest.
How much would you have in a year?
Is it $102, $105 or $110?
I know this one.
$102.
That is correct.
Nice three out of three.
Fourth question.
No point really, is there?
After five years, that same account would have less than $110,
$110 or more than $110.
Depends on the fees, doesn't it?
More than $110 because of compound interest.
That is correct.
Well done.
You both got four out of four.
Was that four you got right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're killing this, by the way.
I know.
You're very good.
We're the smartest New Zealanders in New Zealand.
Okay, should we do a tie break? Tie break, yeah. I want to buzz in, okay, if you think you know it. I know. You're very good. We're the smartest New Zealanders in New Zealand. Okay, should we do a tie break?
Tie break,
yeah.
You want to buzz in,
okay,
if you think you know it.
Alright,
if a car is travelling
40 kilometres an hour,
how far would it travel
in 45 minutes?
Clint.
Yes?
I know this too.
Okay.
Travelling 40 kilometres an hour
in 45 minutes,
30 kilometres.
That is correct.
Well done.
I knew that too.
Is that what you were going to say?
So you both win.
You both win. You both win.
You both look dumbass.
I still don't know
how to do my tax return.
You've got to look into that
by the way.
I'll get an accountant.
Don't need to know.
I think they've got good
tax people in jail
like if you end up there.
Yeah.
That'll be good.
ZM Spree and Clint.
The podcast.
Anybody listening right now
need some money?
No one answered.
No one needs any money.
No one need any money?
You don't need any money?
I'd like some money.
Okay, cool.
But there's always a catch.
There has been an announcement from one of New Zealand's largest employers
that they're going to just give all their employees a pay rise.
Countdown, who have, according to this, about 15,000 employees around New Zealand.
Yeah, that'd be one of the biggest.
They've made an announcement that they're going to give the people that have worked
there for 12 months or longer the living wage.
So no longer, they've all been around the minimum wage and they're going, nah, we're
making enough money.
We can afford to pay you guys the living wage.
What an amazing thing to do.
I mean, it's not really because it should just be happening already,
but still pretty amazing that a massive company like that
has just taken a stand and been like, we're just going to do this.
Especially when the living wage is defined as the minimum income necessary
for a worker to meet their basic needs.
Right, so that's like...
That's not the minimum wage, that is the living wage.
Let's talk rent, food, petrol, power.
Yeah, doctor's bills.
That stuff.
Gym membership.
Literally the bare minimum just to live.
Getting your highlights done.
No, that's not included.
AirPods.
No.
AirPods.
No.
Spotify Premium. So the minimum wage you were saying to me is way lower than the living wage here in New Zealand.
So the minimum wage is currently $17.70 an hour.
Right.
So the minimum wage, $17.70.
The living wage is defined currently as $21.15 an hour.
So that's $3.45 an hour difference between the minimum and the living wage.
So have you done the math on how much that is a year?
Yeah.
So if you, I've done it a week.
So if you get a $3.45 increase and you work 40 hours a week.
Which is a standard, let's say.
It's nearly an extra $140 a week. Okay.
That's heaps. Which can make an
actual difference to a lot of people. You can fill
your car up. Yeah, exactly. You can pay for your
groceries. You can pay for your groceries.
Some people. That's why they've done it. That's why they will have done it.
A lot of places around the country will
pay for their rent for that week. But now
employees can spend more on groceries
at countdown. That's not
why. That's genius. That is pure genius. That is not why. And then the money goes back. That's genius.
That is pure genius.
That is not why they've done it.
I quite like that.
Anyway, if that's you, congratulations.
You're getting a pay rise.
Yay.
If you've been there for 12 months.
If not, better luck next year.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Time to head to LA for the latest with Dean McCarthy.
From iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
He lives there and he knows everything that is happening in LA.
Dean McCarthy, tell us who Lizzo is suing.
Oh my goodness, Lizzo's getting sued by a Postmates driver
for allegedly defaming the Postmates driver.
Here's what went down, right?
So you may remember, of course, when Lizzo ordered this food that came to her hotel and she never got it to her room.
It got sent to the concierge and she went on social media and said,
this guy delivered my food, ate the food, didn't give it to me,
and then posted a photo of the Postmates driver on her Instagram
and Twitter in front of millions and millions of followers.
Now that Postmates driver is suing her for defamation.
You know, well, she did call him a thief.
So, yeah, there is actually, I'm sure there's a case of defamation.
Did he eat the food, Dean?
Yeah, yeah, Dean, is there any truth to it?
Did he eat Lizzo's food?
So, here's what happened.
So he delivered the food to the concierge,
and because she didn't have her phone number on her account,
they couldn't call her.
So the food sat at the concierge desk,
and then maybe the concierge ate it.
That's what happened.
So, okay.
Oh, so she's playing the wrong person.
This is the problem.
This is the problem.
We all do really dumb stuff when we're hungry.
It's like that Snickers ad.
You're not you when you're hungry.
The problem is if you have millions and millions of followers,
when you go on a hangry rage, it's exponentially more impactful, right?
My body gets taken over once I've ordered Uber Eats
and I see that the driver has picked up my order
but he's making another delivery on the way
and I'm like, how dare they?
Well, you see your Uber Eats driver is coming on a bicycle
and you're like, I did not pay for a pedal power.
It makes me so enraged.
And you know what?
Usually I'm okay.
Yeah, it usually turns out okay.
Also, you Lizzo, maybe you can now pay someone
just to duck out and get you some more food.
I don't know.
Either way, glad everything's getting resolved,
except for the part where Lizzo's getting sued.
That is Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent,
with the latest things to amplify kombucha.
That is so, if I ever became famous for anything,
this would be the story about me.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Big news
in the aviation world out
today. This
is exciting. So they're saying the
future is here because they've
developed a plane seat
that will monitor your every move.
So essentially
imagine if your plane seat could monitor
and record everything you do
which... Why do I want my plane seat could monitor and record everything you do, which...
Why do I want my plane seat to do that?
Because, I mean, it allows the plane staff to obviously know what you need.
So say your seat is reclined or if it's not reclined
or how many times you've used your tray table,
if your TV's on or off, stuff like that.
So essentially they're saying that in real time it allows the cabin crew
to see if seats are upright, how many times a passenger uses the bathroom,
the tray tables, seat belts.
It also speeds up stuff like, you know when they do those cabin checks
before and after takeoff?
Yeah, they see if your phone's on flight mode and stuff.
Pretty much.
This will make that like in no time.
But they're calling it the smart seat, I think.
Yeah, the smart seat.
And they're going to begin rolling these out on some of the airplanes really soon.
This sounds like spin.
It sounds like something that's beneficial for the cabin crew and not so good for me.
Because now it sounds like if I'm in reclining mode that they can just push a button and then they're going to put me back up to.
I doubt they'd be allowed to do that though.
And why do they want to know how many times I'm going to the toilet?
That's the other bit.
Well, maybe they need to know if you need to be more hydrated.
Because there was that story recently about the airline
that had cameras inside the seat back monitors
and they were recording passengers in their seat
and they were taking all that data as well.
So their eyes are always on you, you know?
I didn't read that.
Not that I'm doing anything terribly bad in the skies.
I was going to say, what are you doing on an airplane flight?
No, I know, I know, but it's just like privacy stuff, right?
It's like, God, where can I go these days that I'm not being monitored?
Well, to be honest, I don't think I'd love to be recorded on an aeroplane.
I don't know what it is, but there's no place that I look uglier
than sleeping on an aeroplane.
I believe there is a collection of photos of me looking my absolute worst,
like the worst I can possibly look.
And I think every single one of those photos belongs to the machine at customs
where you put your passport in and then you walk in there and it says,
take your hat off and you look directly at the camera.
I reckon all of those photos after you've got off a flight,
particularly a long haul flight,
I don't reckon there's anyone who looks fresh in those photos.
This was a real embarrassing story that I never told on the radio
that happened to me recently.
I flew back from, I believe it was Australia on one of the later flights
and I think I got in at 1am into Auckland.
Yeah.
And I went through that system, put my passport in
and the camera took the photo.
I looked so horrific that it didn't recognise me
and I had to go to the person that was manning the desk.
You give them the passport and they're like,
oh, let me sort this out for you.
I'll just open it.
No, well, they already like, oh, when they saw me
and then they looked at my passport
and then they looked at me again.
They're like, are you sure this is you?
Well, that's good.
Maybe these new smart seats can like do a percentage
of how much you devalue appearance-wise across the flight
and then that can sync up with the customs things
and then that can get us through.
Hopefully the seat also redoes your makeup for you.
Yeah, that'd be helpful.
That'd be great.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Some parents over in Australia are dividing the internet this week
when a story about their newborn baby has gone viral
because they have decided to give their newborn baby a blended surname.
Okay.
So her name is Courtney Kassar, C-A-S-S-A-R.
Is that the mother?
Oh, no.
Wait, his name is Courtney Kassar and her name is Laura Sheldon.
Anyway, they gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Lila
whose last name will now be Kasseldon.
Kasseldon.
Kassar and Sheldon combined for Kasseldon.
Right.
Are the mother and father going with that last name as well?
No, so I believe they will keep their last names
and their daughter will have the last name Castledon.
So there's a third last name involved in the family.
Yeah.
So it's interesting because she isn't the only baby
to receive a blended last name in 2019.
Apparently there's statistics that are coming out of New South Wales saying that
people, children who are getting hyphenated last names has dropped by over 50% since 1980.
And apparently, yeah, kids with last names that belong to neither parents has increased
by quite a few percent.
I think people started to get weary of the hyphenated last name as it got more and more
popular because they're worried that their kid would then marry someone with a hyphenated
last name.
Yeah, well then you're in trouble.
And then you're in a four-way hyphenated last name.
But does that just mean, I think if you marry, if you've got a hyphenated last name and you
marry someone with a hyphenated last name,
you pick your favourite in your hyphenated.
Oh, so you each bring one name to the...
Yes, and then you bring a name each and then hyphenate that.
But you know how some names just sound good together
and some names don't, like some names clash?
So you pick the best, yeah, the best options.
Or you do what these guys have done
and just put your names into a blender, like a Scrabble board,
shake the
letters up and see what comes out.
What do you think of Castledon?
As a name, it's fine.
What did you guys do?
I just feel like if you're going to do that to the kid, why don't you all do it?
Why don't you do it as a family?
What did you guys do?
You and Lucy just had baby Tui.
What's Tui's last name?
Tui has my last name.
Right.
And why was that?
Because I know Lucy still has her last name.
Lucy still has her last name.
Yeah.
And Tui has my last name.
Does the next baby, if you guys have another baby,
does it get Lucy's last name?
You know, that's a very good question.
Yeah.
Don't know.
Haven't discussed it.
Did you guys discuss what name Tui was going to get?
I'm sure we did.
And I think Lucy said, I shall have your last name.
And I was like, okay, sweet.
Right, so that was the discussion.
We didn't blend it.
Well, Lucy's last name is Slight and my last name is Roberts.
So what's the baby going to be called?
Slobberts.
I mean.
It doesn't really work.
It doesn't really work.
Sounds like a villain out of a Disney movie or something.
I want to know from people on 0800DIALZM, I mean... It doesn't really work. It sounds like a villain out of a Disney movie or something.
I want to know from people on 0800DIALZM,
have you done something that goes against, I guess,
the societal norm when it comes to, you know,
naming your baby with their last name?
Have you given it a hyphenated name?
Have you named your baby a mix like these two people have where they've used both last names?
Specifically last names?
Have you, yeah, have you blended or maybe you've created just a completely new last name for your baby
and maybe you guys all took that last name.
I don't know.
I'd like to know if you've done something unorthodox
with the last name.
Yeah.
Okay.
Maybe you're a big All Blacks fan and you just gave it the last name
Uwane so that people think that.
You could do that.
Maybe.
0800 ZM.
Or you can text us on 9696.
Unorthodox last names.
What have you got?
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
We're just talking about this couple over in Aussie that's making news
at the moment, which I don't know why.
I think it's pretty standard these days.
But they've had a baby and they decided to combine their two last names,
which was Kassar and Sheldon, to give her the last name of Kasseldon.
I like it.
I think it's really cute that they've obviously had a chat
where they've decided to combine their names
because they've both created this amazing human being
and then they've given this, you know, a combined last name.
Does it make it hard when your kid logs on to Ancestry.com
in 10 years though to try and research the family tree?
And they go, you're the first Castle Don to ever exist.
Well, maybe, I don't know, there's some people out there
that would mix the names and then also take the names,
which I think is a nice, cool, like modern thing to do as well.
There's a lot of text coming through on this of people
who have done their own thing and have gone a bit unorthodox
with their last names.
A few people have said that they've mixed both last names,
which they took a while to decide which one sounded the best
because a few didn't sound that great.
There's lots of trials, yeah.
Yeah.
Like I said, if Lucy and I combined ours, it would be Slobberts
and Bing goes, nah, Roberts and Slight you could have right. Yeah. There's lots of trials, yeah. Yeah. Like I said, if Lucy and I combined ours, it would be Slobberts, and Ben goes,
nah, Roberts and Slight you could have right.
Yeah.
That would work.
Which would be fine.
But then Tui, our daughter, her last name would be right,
and then there were the Tui billboards that said year right on them,
and then if it's Tui, rot.
Nah, I can't have her that closely associated with the beer company,
so that wouldn't quite work.
You named her Tui.
Yeah, I know, but after the bird.
I think own it.
I do love when people say, where did you come up with Tui?
I like to say, oh, it's her favourite drink.
Yeah, that's great.
It's super Kiwi.
I love it.
0800 dial ZM.
Did you do something unorthodox with the last name?
Carmen.
Hi, Carmen.
Hi, Carmen.
Hi.
What did you do with the last name?
So I didn't combine my last name and my husband's last name
because it would be Fairmore.
What would it be?
Fairmore.
Right.
So when you say it together, it doesn't sound that attractive.
Okay, fair enough.
So what did you guys decide?
So my oldest daughter has my last name
and then our third daughter has my husband's last name.
Right, interesting.
There's a lot of texts coming through that said people have done that as well
where someone said that their family friend gave the mum's name
to all the daughters and then the dad's name to all the sons.
And then if you guys ever separate, you know which kid you're taking with you.
Hi, Sarah. Hey, how's it going you're taking with you. Hi, Sarah.
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
What did you do, Sarah?
It wasn't me.
When my parents got divorced,
my mum decided that she didn't want to go back to her maiden name.
Okay.
So she joined her parents' first names together
and made Son-El from Sonia and Albert
and then changed both of our names.
So you're a Son-El?
Yeah.
That's cool.
Yeah, that's nice.
I like that.
I really like that.
Because I'm thinking I've got people in my family,
they went through a divorce and they have just kept the last name.
What if you were going to combine Di and Steve?
What would you get?
Deve.
Deve.
That's not bad.
I don't mind it. Hey, Jess. Hi, how's it get? Deave. That's not bad. I don't mind it.
Hey, Jess. Hi, how's it going?
Good, thanks. Have you done something
unorthodox with the last name?
It's my last name.
My mum's name
is Brooks and my dad's name
is Hill and my last name
is Hillbrook.
I see what you've done there. So did you do that
or did your parents do that for you? No, my parents did that for me. Okay, and did
they change their last name as well when they gave that to you? No, so
my mum's still Brooks, my dad is still Hill and it's just me and my sister are Hillbrook.
So then you and your sister just share that together. See, I like that too.
And it's worked out well for you? You're not ringing in to say don't do it?
No, I mean it's fine. People always ask me if it's worked out well for you? You're not ringing in to say don't do it? No, I mean, it's fine.
People always ask me if it's legal, and I'm like, yeah, so.
Yeah, it's weird what's legal and not when it comes to names.
That's fine.
But then you can't call your kid something that's considered, like, abusive.
Yeah, right.
You can't give them a joke for a name.
Yeah, don't name your kid hashtag or anything like that.
There was a Kiwi kid who was called Bus Shelter
because that's where he or she was conceived.
That's...
Yeah, and the Department of Internal Affairs
had to step in and go, uh-uh-uh, that's not happening.
Your kid is no longer called Bus Shelter.
So I would be called Ute Trey.
Zed M Spree and Clint, the podcast.
So we had the day off yesterday
because we all had a massive day
at Friday Jams Live on Sunday, which was an amazing day.
You actually emceed it with Fat Man Scoop, which you did an amazing job.
Thank you.
It was so much fun.
Yeah, it looked like heaps of fun.
I was exhausted and I was trying to figure it out.
It's because he's the most energetic man on the planet.
Oh, he's amazing.
Like backstage, he's like, what are we going to do next?
I don't know.
Probably just get up and chat.
Should we just have a sit down or?
No!
Anyway, going round for round with him, it's very tiring.
I bet, I bet.
The rest of us, however, we were out with the people,
having a boogie and, you know um having a dance watching
it from the you know the crowd which was really fun and me producer ben and producer ellie we
were together for a lot of the day and there was one part of the day where we all decided we'd go
to the toilets um oh group toilet outing. Yeah, group toilets which did not
wait in line for one second.
I was so surprised because you know what it's like
when you go to the bathrooms there. Like at
a festival, it's just a nightmare. It was
the best festival toilet experience
I've ever had. Put that on the billboard. Friday James Live.
Plenty of portaloos. It was so good
and the toilet I went to was very
clean and we all
met up afterwards and producer Ben had some bad news
after he went to the bathroom.
Oh no, what happened?
I lost my phone.
Straight down the portal.
In the portal.
An interesting thing you need to know
is I was wearing dungarees.
I had a pocket at the front.
So when I took them off,
it just fell with my sunglasses and went in.
I was like, guys, I've lost my phone.
I know where it is. I'm not going to let it ruin my day. It's fine in. I was like, guys, I've lost my phone. I know where it is.
I'm not going to let it ruin my day.
It's fine.
It's gone.
Did you decide to wait?
So did it fall before or after you weed?
I don't even know.
I think it must have been afterwards because I put it back on.
As you put them back on.
Oh, my God.
Does it matter in a port-a-loo, though?
Those things don't flush.
So whether you weed or not, 150 people have.
So unfortunately, I lost my phone.
But that, yeah.
And we were all standing there and we're all devastated for producer Ben.
I was like, oh, that sucks.
And then I saw Ben standing there and he had this like light bulb and he goes,
you know what?
I'm just going to go back and check.
I'm just going to go back.
I'm going to go check.
See if it's around or if it's fallen somewhere else.
Surely I can find it.
And Ellie and I kind of looked at each other and we were like, okay.
And then you ran back.
Ran back into the port-a-loo.
What did you do?
Wasn't anywhere.
I couldn't see it anywhere.
I went under it.
I had to look at it under the port-a-loo.
It hasn't fallen in one of the gaps.
I was like, you know what?
I'm going to put my hand Straight down in
And I put my hand
Straight down in
And it would have been
10-15 centimetres of water
And I picked my phone out
And got it
And it still works
It still works
Yeah yeah
You put your hand
Straight in
It was in and out mate
Real quick
Ba bam
I don't care
I don't care
You put your hand
In a portal
Yeah the same phone
That you had to take a call from
This morning
No you're just kidding He put his hand in a port-a-loo. Yeah, the same phone that you had to take a call from this morning. No, you're disgusting.
That was up against your ear.
He put his hand...
Did you feel a log or anything?
Did you...
No, just my phone.
He pulled out four logs before he pulled out the phone.
No, I did not.
I did not.
Oh, you're rough.
That's a log.
That's a log.
Phone!
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
People who work...
I've always thought there's people who work in the hotel industry
must have to put up with some punishing people.
From people who make too much noise in their hotel room
because they thought they can party for as long as they want
to people who are always like, do you have any phone chargers?
I hear you guys have got lots of phone chargers back there.
Can I get a free phone charger?
People must leave their phone chargers behind.
Have you got any phone chargers?
This story's come out from a travel lodge in Scotland
where they have released the weirdest requests
that people staying in their travel lodge have asked for.
So these are mostly things that they're not able to,
actually, I think they're all things
that they're not able to fulfil for customers.
Someone asked this travel lodge in Scotland
for a unicorn-themed pedal boat
to transport the engaged couple out onto the lake
and could they please have a rainbow appear above the hotel?
That'd be a bit hard.
Someone asked for a path of rose petals to go from the hotel down to the beach
so that they could take their partner for a picnic.
The beach was 300 metres away from the hotel down to the beach so that they could take their partner for a picnic. The beach was 300 metres away from the hotel.
Yep.
Someone asked for a room with a moonlight,
a moonlit vibe.
And could we have a room
where the full moon will appear
outside the room window?
Okay.
Someone asked, this is a travel lodge in Scotland,
could we be woken up by the sound of
bagpipes?
Well, they're in Scotland.
Someone has asked, and I
think this will be from an American person who don't
understand how places
like Scotland work,
could we have a herd of sheep outside our
window to help us fall asleep at
night? I think they've just gone to Scotland.
Lots of sheep.
Can we get sheep to be outside the window?
They're going to count the sheep?
Yeah.
Or just the sound of sheep.
Maybe the bleating of sheep is the thing that will put them to sleep.
No, because the old saying is that you count sheep.
Not physically.
You don't stand up and go and count them at the window.
I know, but they're wanting sheep out the window.
Someone asked where they could go to pick some fresh haggis.
Right.
Which is the insides of a sheep.
It's a stomach lining, yeah.
It's stomach, isn't it?
Isn't it stuff put inside stomach?
Either way, you don't pick it.
Someone asked, could they be taught to play golf in
30 minutes?
Don't think so.
I think this is in Edinburgh, where this hotel is, where they have the Edinburgh Fringe Festival,
which is one of the biggest fringe festivals in the world. Someone asked, do you need a
fringe to attend the Fringe Festival?
It's a good question.
It's a very good question.
It's a very good question. It's a very good question. And the final request, could you please ensure
that the Northern Lights pass over the hotel at night
while we are staying at the Travel Lodge?
Which that one doesn't sound too unreasonable, right?
That sounds like something.
I'm not going to feel bad at all for asking for an extra pillow.
ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast.
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to the studio
One of our absolute faves
It's Benny
About time I am here when you are here
Oh no
I felt like you were avoiding me
I know
Finally
Benny, Bree, Bree, Benny
We just figured out we're the same person
We are
A lot of things in common
Because coffee makes you anxious And need to go to the toilet.
Yes, that's correct.
That is right.
Thanks for sharing all of our secrets.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
How are you going to miss four New Zealand Music Awards in a row?
Are you all right?
Pretty good, eh?
Yeah, how are you guys?
Goes to the Music Awards once, leaves with all of them.
Stop.
You know what's weird?
Everyone in here was like, oh, did you hear Benny took home?
And I literally went, I'm not surprised at all.
I just thought that was like standard that was coming.
I honestly thought that was coming and then everyone was shocked by it.
I wasn't.
I did not expect it.
Because you can't write four acceptance speeches, right?
Like you just can't go in there with four different speeches ready to go.
You should have just stole some from other people in the past,
like done Kanye's speech.
I think even if I knew that I was going to get something,
I probably wouldn't write a speech because I would just...
Think you'd jinx it?
Well, yeah.
I feel like I'd get too obsessed with trying to say it right
that I'd freak out and then say it really wrong.
Speaking of jinxing it,
last time you came in here, we played a game.
We played the one second song challenge.
And I sucked.
Oh, that's not fair. I suck at it
too. See, we are the same
person. I've lost 30
something times this year. I lost.
You lost. That's okay. I think
Benny got four songs out of ten.
I don't even know if I got that. Hey, for a first go, that's pretty good.
And two of them were her own songs. Okay, well, not
as good. We've got a shot at redemption
for you today. Do you want to play a different game
with us? Yes. Okay. Tentative yes. Today you're a shot at redemption for you. So do you want to play a different game with us? Yes.
Okay.
Tentative yes.
Today you're going to take on Bree instead.
Okay.
And we're going to play the Insta Fame game.
Oh my God.
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time for Bree and Clint's Insta Fame game.
Okay.
So how this game works is basically you just have to guess how many Famous people have as Instagram
How many what?
How many followers famous people have
On Instagram
So we'll give you a paper
And a pen and you write it down
So we write them down and then we show our answers
So that obviously we don't cheat
I bet you already know
No I honestly don't.
I honestly don't.
You totally don't.
Here comes your first one, okay?
Just write down your answer.
You'll have ten seconds to write it down.
Benny, your current single is Find an Island.
How many followers does the star of Castaway, Tom Hanks, have?
I love Tom Hanks.
Oh, my God.
Would he really be on the gram that much?
Okay, for Tom Hanks, Bree, you've put down 10.1 million followers.
And, Benny, you've put down 923.
Is that 1,000 or 1,000,000 or 1,000,000?
923.
Oh, right, right, right.
Tom Hanks has 6 million Instagram followers,
so that's a point to Brie.
Congratulations.
Just?
I actually suck at it.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
There's more to go.
Don't cry about this either.
The next one,
at the Music Awards last week,
you beat 660 for single of the year.
How many followers?
That is massive, can I say?
Thank you.
Which, I mean, you totally deserve it, but 660, huge, awesome.
How many followers do 660 have?
Oh, my God.
Okay, so the band account?
Yeah, the band account for 660.
How many followers does 660 have?
I'm so, like,
not regretting this for a gag.
Okay, for Brie,
for 660,
you've put 660,000.
Yep.
And Benny,
you've put 160,000.
Oh, good job.
660 have 133,000.
That's a point to Benny.
So we're one apiece.
As one apiece.
Okay, one apiece. Okay, one apiece.
Okay, so this is the third one.
You're performing alongside Charlie XCX at Laneway next year.
How many followers does Charlie XCX have on the gram?
I believe she played this game recently on this show.
Charlie XCX.
And I'm pretty sure we did her a cap, but it was a while ago.
Oh my gosh.
I don't know.
You just have to get closest.
Okay, Brie.
For CharlieXCX
you've put 11 million
Instagram followers. Yeah, I reckon around that.
Benny, for CharlieXCX you've put
2 million Instagram followers.
CharlieXCX has 3.5 million.
That's a point to Benny.
I'm actually okay at something.
You're in the lead and you can win the game here.
You get this one right and you win the game.
You win your first game on our show.
Okay.
You were awarded Single of the Year by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
How many followers does Jacinda Ardern have on Instagram?
New Zealand Prime Minister.
And pretty good at social media as well.
Yeah, she posts some good stuff.
She's got her gram on lock.
Okay, Brie.
For Jacinda Ardern, you've put $270,000.
Benny, for Jacinda Ardern, you've put $750,000.
Jacinda Ardern has $722,000.
That's a point to Benny, and that's the game to Benny.
Oh, my gosh.
You've already won all the music awards.
Let me be good at something, damn it.
That's like the first thing I've ever won.
That was dangerously close as well.
You literally won four music awards last week.
I think I actually looked at how many people followed her,
and I was like, why don't more people follow her?
Yeah.
That's a fair few.
I definitely did that recently.
She's definitely got more followers than any New Zealand Prime Minister ever.
I was going to say, yeah.
The new EP is out now from Benny.
It's called Stella and Steve.
It just dropped on Friday and it's great to see you, Benny.
Come back anytime.
Thanks, mate.
Thanks, mate.
Thanks, mate.
Thanks, mate.
Hey, thanks, mate.
Thanks, mate.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. mate. Thanks mate. Thanks mate. Thanks mate. Hey thanks mate. I just wanted to chat about this really nice couple I met over the weekend that had
a, I felt like quite an
interesting story of how they've ended
up together and now they're engaged
and they were telling me how they first
met overseas and
they dated for a couple of years
and it was all good and they were really young
and then they ended up breaking up, going their separate ways.
They were both from New Zealand though.
They met overseas but they were both Kiwi.
Classic New Zealand thing to do.
Yeah, right.
Go overseas and find the New Zealanders.
And then they went, each went their separate ways.
They went travelling and then I think they met up again
maybe a year later still overseas and then they started dating again
and then they broke up and then one of them came home
and then a couple more years passed and then they met up again
when they were back in New Zealand and they've been together
for quite a while and then now they're engaged.
So how many times did they break up?
I lost track ages ago.
Twice.
So they've broken up twice?
I think so.
Which means they've gotten together three times.
Three times.
It's a real Ross and Rachel situation.
Yes.
Which I was trying to think in my lifetime if I've ever done that with someone I've dated.
Got back with an ex?
Yeah.
I've only ever done it with one ex.
Yeah.
Have you? Yeah. It didn't work. it with one, one ex. Yeah. Have you?
Yeah, it didn't work.
Yeah, and mine didn't work either, obviously.
I feel like generally they don't.
I'm not saying they never do.
Yeah, it's not that they never do, but generally you broke up for...
I like to work in absolutes and speak in like hard truths.
And I go, well, you broke up once.
There must be something rotten.
You're not going to fix it this time around.
But that's not true.
People change and things can.
But I also think sometimes you don't break up for a horrible reason.
Sometimes you're forced to break up.
Yeah, exactly.
Like if one of you has to go to another country for work or something like that.
Yeah, sometimes there's something that forces your hand or sometimes I believe maybe you
meet someone too
early. Yeah. You know, maybe, well. No, I don't believe that. Why not? Because my wife said this
in her wedding speech. She said, the right people are timeless. And when you meet the right person,
everything in your life will change. And it's the right time because you've
found them then. And I think that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
And that's why I think there is no wrong time.
I don't know if I met someone who was probably my forever person at 21, I'd probably say,
I'll catch up with you in about five years time after I've partied.
Don't kiss me now.
Five years, I want to party and have a, you know what I mean? Because like I want to live
my 20s and like have a really good time and then I do. You don't want to party and have a, you know what I mean? Cause like I want to live my twenties and like have a really good time. And then I do.
You don't want to party with that person?
Oh yeah.
Like, isn't there something beautiful about spending that period of your life with them
as well?
Yeah. It could be a bit boring too though. After a while, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah. Like, yeah, I see.
I've got friends who went the other way.
I see the good things in both sides.
And they were high school sweethearts. And they both realised that they needed to have a break from each other
to go and explore themselves.
And so they broke up with every intention of getting back together.
They said, this is us.
We are broken up.
There are no strings attached.
Go and do whatever you want.
They didn't get back together, did they?
No, they're married and they've just had their second child.
Oh, see, amazing.
Because when it was the right time, they both moved back to New Zealand
and they go, still love you and you still love me,
so shall we strike up that deal again?
See, there's a situation where I was right.
It was too early.
There's a big risk in that situation, though, that you come back
and you're like, all right, time to hit up old Dave
and get that pact going.
And you meet up with Dave and he's like, yeah, I kind of moved on.
I mean, that would happen a lot too.
I had every intention of getting back with you, but this is Susan.
I'm dating.
We're dating.
She's a supermodel and her dad owns a stadium.
Because I think sometimes maybe you need to, well, I think,
and this is my own journey, I couldn't have met someone
who I wanted to be with forever when I was 20 because I needed to grow as my own person.
Me neither.
You know what I mean?
I know what I said before, but I'm not the person I was when I was 20.
Yeah, but you know, and sometimes I think maybe you could meet someone who you could
be with forever, but you meet them too early, so it doesn't work. And I think, yeah, I think
that can happen as well. But I want to know from people this afternoon um like this situation i met this couple who
broke up a few times got back together a few times has that happened to you how many times
did you get back with your ex and did it work out or did it not work we can turn this into a game
actually so you tell us how many times you guys broke up.
And we can say...
Don't tell us if you're back together with them.
We'll decide.
We'll try and figure out if you guys have ended up together.
We just want to know how many times did you break up with someone.
Yeah.
Okay?
And you don't actually have to be with them right now.
But if you are, that's still exciting.
That's good too.
0800 dial ZM.
You've got to call us for this one.
Yeah, you've got to call us.
ZM, Spree and Clint.
The podcast. Just talking about Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Just talking about this couple I met on the weekend
who've broken up a bunch of times and gotten back together
and now they're engaged.
It looks like they'll be together forever.
Will they continue the breakup trend after they get married?
No, I think they're sure this time because they were travelling around
and it was a bit hard, you know, so it wasn't the right time.
But I was thinking about other situations where this has happened.
My ex's parents had an interesting story.
They were childhood sweethearts or high school sweethearts
and they were together for like six years and then they broke up
because it was just not the right time for them.
Yeah.
And then he went off and had a kid with someone and got married
and she went off and had a kid with someone and got married and she went off and had a kid with someone and got married.
Yeah.
And then years later, after they'd both had one kid each,
they met up again and then had one more baby together.
And they said, you get rid of your partner,
I'll get rid of my partner.
Yeah.
And then we'll get together.
Well, I think they'd already broken up.
And then those kids that we had, they're not related,
they can get together with each other and boom,
you start a weird like family chain.
Oh, no.
No?
I think.
No.
No, they wouldn't be related.
No, they wouldn't be related, would they?
No, they'd be related to the joint kid that they had together.
So they couldn't hook up with them.
Anyway, we're asking you, has this situation happened to you
where you've been with someone multiple times, broken up?
Yeah.
We don't want to know the outcome because we're going to try and guess.
Don't give us the end result.
We'll start with Molly.
Welcome to the show, Molly.
Hi.
Hi, Molly.
Hello.
Okay, tell us the gist of it.
What's happened?
So we met like our first year of uni, so he was 17 and I was 18.
Yeah.
And we're in the same class.
Oh, Kuga Molly.
You know.
Yeah.
The older lady.
And like, you know,
we go along and we're in the same class
so we were like, you know what, let's
date and do it. And then
about like two months
later I was like, this is my first year
of uni. What am I doing?
You need to go have fun, live your life.
So I was like,
no, no, no, let's break up, let's not do that.
And then probably like six months later, we were kind of like,
oh, look, we actually like each other.
How many times have you guys broken up?
What's the time number?
This happened like five times.
Five times?
Yeah, over a couple of years.
And supplementary question, what university was it?
Oh, it was a polytech, Max.
I was at a university.
Yeah, polytech represent.
Polytech up in here.
And do you need any more information, Bree, before we decide?
No, I don't think I need to hear any more.
Okay.
I'm going to say...
I'm going to say they ended up together.
I'm going to say from the fondness in Molly's voice,
the way she retells that story.
I reckon she's led on that they've ended up together. Molly, we think you guys have ended up together. I'm going to say from the fondness in Molly's voice, the way she retells that story. I reckon she's let on that they've
ended up together. Molly,
we think you guys have ended up together.
Oh, I don't know. The fondness
in my voice gave it away. We did.
I knew it!
Five times you broke up, back and forth,
and you know why, Molly? Do you think it was
because you met too early?
It was, because then we finished uni and got
together and I've been with you for like two years
and we've lived together.
Knew it.
Yep.
Knew it.
We're one from one.
Let's talk to Olivia.
Hi Liv.
Hi Liv.
Hi.
All right.
Tell us what's happened.
Bit of backstory.
So we met at high school when I was 14.
He's a year older than me, so he was just about to turn 15.
We were together for a couple of years and then, you know, being young and all, we split up.
And then I met someone else, he met someone else.
And then we were apart for another three years.
And then we got back together, together for another two years, and then split up for five.
All right, so wait, wait, wait.
Before we get to the end, how many times did you get back together and split up for five. All right, so wait, wait, wait. Before we get to the end,
how many times did you get back together and split up?
Got back together three times.
Can I ask a supplementary question again?
Did any of the breakups happen for nefarious reasons?
Did anybody cheat?
Were there angry breakups?
No, not at all.
They were all amicable?
Okay.
Yeah.
As amicable as a breakup can be.
As a breakup can be.
Oh, that's the wrong one.
I'm going to say they're not together.
You think they're not together?
Yeah, I reckon.
How old are you now, Olivia?
30.
They're together.
You reckon?
They're together.
My gut says they're together.
Olivia, are you together?
Yes, we're happily married now.
You're married?
Do you have any babies yet?
We do.
We've got a lovely little girl.
Oh, lovely.
Congratulations.
Okay, well, I'm two from two.
You're one from two.
Let's get one more.
Kate.
Hi, Kate.
Hi, Kate.
Hi.
Tell us the back story, Kate.
Okay, so I was 15 and he was 20 going on 21.
We were together for about three years.
Right.
Then we had a break about three months.
So he could go to jail?
No, he just wanted to go out and party
and I was holding him back because I was too young.
Yeah, too young to drive.
And drink.
Yes, and drink.
So all up we broke up probably three or four times.
I can't exactly remember.
Three or four times, okay.
And how old are you now?
Oh, do you really want to know?
I do.
I'm 42.
Okay.
Which means he's about 61.
I reckon you're together.
What city is this where all this went down?
In Christchurch.
In Christchurch.
I'm saying you're together.
In Christchurch, you guys are together, 100%.
Yes, you are correct.
We celebrated 19 years married yesterday and we have two children.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I've also just realised there's a floor in our game,
because why would you ring up and tell a story where you didn't end up together?
There's another floor as well.
There's another floor as well, Kate.
New Zealanders just end up getting back together.
Our dating pool is not that big.
Yeah, because you'll end up dating your cousins.
Thanks for playing, Kate.
Find one.
Stick with it.
All right.
See you.
See you later.
ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, this is where we take your birthdays
and we figure out what was number one on your actual 16th birthdays.
The first person is Sophie.
Hi, Sophie.
Hi, Soph.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Sophie?
17th of July, 1997.
All right, you were 16 in the year 2013 on the 17th of July.
And on that day, this topped the chart.
Yeah, girl.
She just broke up with her forever man, Cody Simpson.
Miley Cyrus.
Oh, come on.
You be nice to hers if you've never had a rebound.
Come on.
Would do.
Come on.
Miley.
That's a good Miley song.
You like that, Sophie?
That's a great song.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
It's pretty good.
It's a party anthem.
It's the sort of song you can put on at a party and go,
guys, it's my birthday banger.
Caroline's here.
Hi, Caroline.
Hi.
Hi, Caroline.
What's your birthday, Caroline?
It's the 18th of November, 1983.
Okay. Hi, hi. What's your birthday, Caroline? It's the 18th of November, 1983. Okay, that means you were 16 in 1999 on the 18th of November.
And in the late 90s, this went to number one.
I-465.
Producer Ellie and I saw this live at a So Pop concert last year.
Was I-465 there?
Yes, they were.
How was that?
It was interesting.
Are they DJs or...?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
That's what I-465 is?
Yes.
How do you feel about that as your birthday banger, Caro?
It was pretty much a favourite at that time,
so I'm feeling pretty good about it.
It was huge.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, wait there.
Last person playing birthday banger today is...
Narita, hi.
Hey.
What's your birthday?
30th of the 1st, 1969.
All right.
You were 16 in 1985 on the 30th of January.
And Narita, this is your birthday banger.
No, not that one.
Do you know who this is, Narita?
No.
No.
Producers, can we get a name check on the artist?
What's the name of the artist for that song?
Foreigner. That? Foreigner.
That's Foreigner.
I want to know what love is.
Are you disappointed, Narita?
Yeah, I want Caroline.
Yeah, I'm a little bit disappointed for you.
Foreigner doesn't tickle your biscuit.
Okay.
Wait there.
We will deliberate.
So, Foreigner out?
Yeah, it's too slow.
It's too slow, eh?
Yeah, a bit slow.
Miley or Eiffel 65?
Probably got to go for the throwback in blue, Eiffel 65, right?
I'll do you a deal.
If you can say it, we'll play it.
Eiffel 65.
Caroline, you win birthday, Vago.
Congratulations.
Wow, yay.
I'm excited.
It's for you, Caro.
Have a good Arvo, mate.
Thank you, Caro. Have a good Arvo, mate. Free and cleansing him.
Thank you, guys.

from Eiffel 65
who are Italian
I've found out
Eiffel 65
really?
these are like
the Italian
lord
the biggest artist
to ever come out of Italy
Eiffel 65
no
you name a bigger artist
Pavarotti.
I don't mean physically bigger.
Um, Pavarotti is a household name.
Thank you very much.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
I mean, I do love a survey on this show,
and this does apply to my Aussie brothers and sisters,
but I feel like the Kiwis and the Aussies, we're close enough that,
you know, pretty similar.
Yeah.
We're family, but we can still hook up with each other.
Exactly right.
And this survey has surveyed nearly almost 55,000 Australians.
Okay.
That's a lot of people.
Yeah.
So you think that, you know,
the results of this would be quite accurate with 55,000 people.
Anyway, they asked a bunch of different, you know,
diversive issues like climate change and all that.
Divisive.
Divisive?
Yeah.
Divisive.
Anyway, they asked a bunch of questions ranging from all different types
of stuff like climate change, what do they think about serious political issues.
But they also asked them about, I guess you'd say, indoor gardening habits.
Ah, the gardening that adults do.
Yes.
Usually together.
Usually when no one else is around.
Yes, usually with the curtains pulled.
Usually inside.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The sort of gardening that does not require external light. No, usually with the curtains pulled. Usually inside. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. The sort of gardening that does not require external light.
No, no.
And they asked a lot of different questions about indoor gardening.
They asked, you know, how often, which around half of the people who answered said they
indoor garden about once a month, with a third doing it less than that, which is quite interesting.
But one of the statistics that was quite interesting to me,
because I'm from Australia obviously,
was the town that got pulled out as the town that had the least
indoor gardening happening out of anywhere else in Australia.
You don't want that tag as a town.
You really don't.
It's bad for house prices.
Especially if you live there.
Yeah, exactly.
If no one's tending their garden, you know.
No one's moving there to start a family.
No one's moving there to start a family because they ain't doing that there.
Excuse all the gardening analogies,
but no one's going to that town to put down roots.
No, exactly right.
And it's a town called Port Macquarie.
Yes.
Which to give you, it's probably similar to, you know,
it's like a small kind of coastal, yeah, smaller town.
Yeah.
But I know someone who lives in Port Macquarie.
Sure.
My friend Jason Bodger.
And I thought, you know, we can take this survey's word for it
or I could just call him and ask,
have you been indoor gardening lately?
Hello.
Hello, Bodge.
Hi, what's going on?
Hello, mate.
It's your old mate, Bree Thomasel.
How are you?
Good, mate.
What can I do for you?
Hey, just a real quick question.
You've probably got this a lot today because it's big news in Australia,
I've heard.
Yeah, yeah.
Port Macquarie takes out the top spot as, you know,
the least people getting to it in all of Australia.
When was the last time you did it?
Oh, well.
You've just answered it.
A couple of weeks ago.
You've answered it loud and clear.
You've answered it loud and clear.
I'll tell you why.
Because we've had some pretty, like, bushfires don't add much to the chemistry.
Don't be talking about a lady's privates like that on our show.
Thank you, Bodge.
I've been busy.
Yeah, you've been busy.
Yeah, sounds like it.
No, we've confirmed it.
The statistics don't lie.
We appreciate your time, Bodge, and enjoy your evening.
Thanks.
I appreciate it.
ZM, Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Over the weekend, of course, Friday Jams Live will have happened.
You should be sick of hearing about it by now.
God, it was good.
Such a good festival.
Most people were there.
At the festival, Brie...
35,000 people-ish.
Brie debuted a brand new look that you've been working on for a while.
No, I have not. A work that you've been working on for a while. No, I have not.
A work that you've been workshopping here on the show and through social media.
You've taken public input on this look as well.
Yep.
And at Friday Jams Live, which was on Sunday, was the debut of Bree's bicycle pants.
Bicycle, bicycle.
You wore them out.
Mm-hmm.
And I would love a bit of a review.
I mean, I feel like we've been on this bicycle pant journey
with you up until this point.
So it would be unfair if we didn't get the end of the story, you know?
To be honest, my only real review is that, I mean,
they're very comfortable.
Yeah.
A lot of movement for activities. I've got
some criteria here. You're covering off all of them already. Yeah, but by only, I guess,
downfall, there was one downfall that I did notice. What's that? Especially at a festival.
Okay. You're carrying lip balm, phone, you know, money, ID, no pockets.
No pockets.
Is that why you wear a belt bag?
Yes.
Okay, that goes good with bike shorts.
We're noting all this down.
I've got a couple of categories and I just need to know
whether they got a pass or a non-pass with the bicycle shorts.
So you said comfort.
Was it a pass for comfort?
Yeah, definitely.
Definitely a pass.
Very comfy.
This is for you, New Zealand, too,
if you're looking to incorporate bike shorts into the look. I saw a few people rocking bike shorts, actually. You did the look you were talking about, definitely. Definitely a pass. Very comfy. This is for you, New Zealand, too, if you're looking to incorporate bike shorts into the look.
I saw a few people rocking bike shorts, actually.
You did the look you were talking about, too.
Baggy band shirt with the bicycle shorts on the bottom.
Yeah, that bicycle short's quite long.
So comforter, yes.
Yeah.
Function.
That means pockets and stuff.
I guess, yeah.
Yeah, no.
That's a no.
It didn't pass.
Okay.
Self-consciousness. Ooh. And by that I mean, yeah. Yeah, no. That's a no. It didn't pass. Okay. Self-consciousness.
And by that I mean, you know when you, and I have
this, when you try a new
item that is not in your usual
fashion rotation,
sometimes the enjoyment of the item
can be stolen by how
much you're going, is everybody looking at my
new thing? I look stupid.
Do I look stupid? Everyone thinks I look stupid.
I'm going to say I had
a friend who
helped me out on the self-consciousness
part.
And that friend's name was Alcohol.
Oh, right.
And I had enough alcohol
that I did not think about
the bike shorts. So it's fine.
So it's fine. Okay it's fine. Yeah.
Okay, great.
And the final criteria that I'm interested in in our bike pants review is it's really important for festivals
because I'm imagining this look is going to be big for things like R&B
and Bay Dreams and stuff like that.
Yes.
Toilet going.
Ooh.
I know with a play suit, like when those were all the rage,
real issue with going to the toilet.
Ben wore dungarees and when he took those down to go to the toilet,
he dropped his phone in a port-a-loo.
How do bike shorts go on the toilet going front at a festival?
Yeah, no, same as pants.
Yeah?
Same as a pair of shorts.
So that was okay?
That was a tick, yeah.
You didn't have to take them all the way off to go to the toilet?
Because they're quite tight.
No, I chose to not do that.
No?
No, just normal.
Just whip them down, whip them back up.
That's good.
Okay, well, it gets a pass in three out of four categories.
So, good to go.
So, bicycle shorts.
Add pockets.
Yeah.
And they're the perfect outfit.
And there you go.
Bicycle, bicycle.
What a wonderful update.
Thanks very much.
You're welcome.
If you'd like to see the bike shorts, they're on Bree's Instagram page.
Can we stop making such a big deal out of this?
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
All right, I promised you a dilemma.
There's been a situation that's happened.
It's on Reddit where a wife has talked about what she did to catch her husband in a honey trap.
Can you just explain what a honey trap is briefly?
A honey trap is pretty much where you set up someone
to see if they're willing to, I guess you'd say most of the time, cheat.
That's what I think of when I think of a honey trap.
So you give them the opportunity to be unfaithful.
Yes, you put the opportunity in front of them and see what they do.
Anyway, so the background story for this couple is that they were boyfriend
and girlfriend and she was always a bit unsure about him.
He was always very flirtatious.
She caught him texting another girl at one point.
And anyway, he went away on this bachelor party,
not for him, for one of his mates.
And she didn't hear from him the whole weekend, not once.
And she felt very uneasy.
He came home and then he proposed to her a couple of days later.
Oh, yeah.
So she was like, oh, great.
Nothing to worry about.
Nothing to worry about.
I should feel fine.
Anyway, a couple of days after that she found messages from a girl
who said it was amazing to hang
out on the weekend of the bachelor party and that they should hang out again soon.
Okay.
So that obviously put her on edge and she confronted him about it and he said there
was nothing to it.
Yada, yada, yada.
Like he was never even at the bachelor party or like he caught up with someone else during
the bachelor party?
No, like he didn't even catch up with this girl.
He didn't know what she was talking about.
Okay, all right.
All this kind of stuff.
Anyway, years later, they've had a few more issues and then she kind of has a feeling
that he's been messing around again.
And she's like, I need to know once and for all because they've had a daughter since.
Yeah.
So they've had a daughter together. Yeah. And she's like, I need to know once and for all because they've had a daughter since. Yeah. So they've had a daughter together.
Yeah.
And she's like, I need to find out.
So he's about to go away on a business trip.
And she goes, okay, well, this is interesting.
He'll have some time to himself.
I'm going to set up a honey trap.
So she organizes her best friend, Gina, who he has met a bunch of times,
knows Gina really well, knows that that's her best friend, Gina, who he has met a bunch of times, knows Gina really well, knows that that's her best friend, tells Gina to start sending her husband flirty texts.
As Gina?
As Gina.
Yeah.
As Gina.
Yeah.
So Gina starts doing that.
He doesn't bite.
And then he goes away.
So the first day he goes away,
Gina sends him a little bit more of a flirtatious text.
He replies with a flirtatious text.
Yeah.
Then by the end of the weekend,
let's just say he's sending explicit videos and photos of himself to Gina.
To Gina.
All right.
Yeah.
So he's fully taken the honey trap.
Is Gina sending flirtatious and sexual videos back?
No.
Because if she is, Gina's committed to the cause.
His face is drowned in honey at this point.
He has taken the honey.
He is poo bear at this stage.
He's a bear in a trap, yeah.
Anyway, she pretty much confronts him when he gets home,
and he's like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Like, I have not been texting Gina.
She starts quoting word for word messages.
Gina comes out of the wardrobe and she goes, you're busted.
Yeah, pretty much.
And then obviously he can't deny it anymore because he knows it's a set up.
And then he says she's ruined the relationship because she set him up.
Who's in the wrong?
Okay, before we do this, is anyone willing to side with the husband?
I feel like anyone is willing to stick up their hand and go,
the husband's in the right.
You know what, though?
If he hadn't have had a history of wrongdoing,
I would somewhat say, oh, not great like setting your husband up,
you know what I mean?
But he has got a history and he did take the bait.
Does anyone think it's Gina's fault?
No, Gina's the hero in all of this.
She put her body on the line.
ZDM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. Who do you think, Bree, is the richest person in the world right now?
The guy, well, the guy who owned Amazon went through a divorce.
Yeah.
Who he started the company with.
Yeah.
So they would have had to split up their money.
Yeah.
Is it Bill Gates again?
The world's richest person currently overtaking the Amazon guy, Bill Gates.
God, I'm on the money, so to speak.
Not on this kind of money.
He's gone back to the top of the list.
Bill Gates is currently worth $110 billion.
That is crazy.
I was saying to you off air earlier today, I saw a stat on this movie.
So he has $110 billion.
Yeah, the most money of anybody on the entire planet.
Do you know how many billionaires there are?
So just people who might have $1 billion.
Yeah.
Do you know how many exist?
Well, I already told you, so you know.
You already told me, yeah.
But only 2,000 or around 2,000 people in the world are billionaires.
And that's why it's the top 0.0001%.
But he's, wait, so he's got 100.
Yeah.
Let me run you through some of this.
And 10 billion.
So he's got 110.
He's first.
Jeff Bezos from Amazon is now in second place.
He only has 108.7 billion. Oh, poor guy. So he is place. He only has $108.7 billion.
Oh, poor guy.
So he is $1.3 billion less than number one.
When he divorced his wife, well, when his wife divorced him, actually,
I should use the right context for this because he cheated on her.
Yes.
He had to pay her $52 billion.
Well, it's not like he was paying her because they started the company together.
100%. You're absolutely right
So they halved
That's what she got
That's what she got in the settlement
$52 billion
And so he's still doing alright
He's still got double that
I'll run you through the top 5 richest people in the world
And see if you know them all
So number 5
Interesting
The 5th richest person in the world is Mark Zuckerberg on $70 billion.
Actually, I mean, oh, so good.
I love him.
Isn't it crazy that you can become the fifth richest person
for something you invented 10 years ago?
Yeah, what has he done since?
I mean, really.
Imagine what you could be doing in 10 years from now.
Probably not much.
Fourth richest person in the world is Warren Buffett.
Why do I know that name?
He's the billionaire investor.
So he's the guy everyone goes to for financial information.
Right.
He's the man that says compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world.
I wonder if I could get a meeting with him.
He's very good friends with Bill Gates, number one.
Of course he is.
They're like best buddies.
Number three is a man called Bernard Arnault.
Is that the guy who owns Zara?
No, he's not in the top five.
He's in the top ten.
He's not in the top five.
I was going to say, he's very rich.
Bernard Arnault has $101 billion.
Bernard Arnault.
I thought you said Bernard Anous.
No, I wouldn't have.
And I was like, poor guy.
He owns Moet Hennessy.
He's a champagne guy.
He owns Moet.
Yes, Moet Hennessy.
Moet.
The group, yeah.
So they're the guys who donated all the money to rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral.
But didn't donate the money to put out the Amazon fires.
I was going to say, yeah.
Bill Gates is in first place and Jeff Bezos is in second place.
Oh, they all have something in common.
What's that?
They're all men.
They're all white men as well, actually.
Anyway, there's your depressing financial update.
Oh, yeah, I was going to say, thanks for really giving me a boost
just as I'm going home.
You're absolutely welcome.
I really feel good about myself.
