Kia ora, ite whānau and welcome along to the Bree and Clint podcast. I'm going to start with a personal question. Anybody do any crying over the weekend? Oh, sheesh. Yeah, I know, right? I've gone straight for the jugular. Anyone done any crying? And if you answer yes, I'm going to ask you what it was about. Not on purpose. No? Okay, Ben.

You didn't cry. Ellie and I went for a swim and the salt was stingy, but it was just not like tears. And he also likes to cry During that other activity Yeah that's right Shower cleaning Because it involves so much I cried a little bit

I was cutting onions On the beach yesterday For a barbecue Right okay No none of these count Then no I cried on the weekend Did you?

Yeah I listened to a song Remember we had Anika Moore In studio? Yes She's got a new album out called Songs for Bubbas 3. It's the third album in her album series Songs for Bubbas. Was it Baby Got Back?

No, it wasn't Baby Got Back. No. What song is it? Any other guesses? Is it the one that's labeled Tooie? Yeah. Tooie's Graceful Song. Yes.

So my daughter's name is Tooie Grace, and she has a song on there called Tooie's Graceful Song. Yes. So my daughter's name is Tui Grace, and she has a song on there called Tui's Graceful Song, which we're telling everybody she wrote about my daughter. She did, though. Well, she also has a child whose middle names are Tui Grace. Tui Grace, yeah. So she's saying it's for that kid, but I don't believe her. She's saying it's for her own kid, but nah.

Yeah. Don't reckon so. All right, I know we're not allowed to play entire songs, but do you guys want to hear a little bit of this? Yeah, I do actually. We put this on, and Lucy and I looked at each other over my child who was strapped to me in a baby Bjorn at the time. Yeah.

And absolutely lost it. In the morning when you rise, I look into your eyes. I can see your happiness. I hear the sweetest cries. And when I pick you up, you reach for me. The two is graceful song. She sings for you and me Very cute.

Yeah, that's nice. That's Anika singing. That's Anika singing, yeah. She's got an amazing voice, doesn't she? Can you imagine, well, first of all, being me and Lucy listening to that. We're very emotional people. I've become, how much more emotional do you think since my daughter was born? It's probably like a 4,000% increase, I'd say. It's nice, though. It's nice. I've become, how much more emotional do you think since my daughter was born? It's probably like a 4,000% increase,

I'd say. Nice though, it's nice. I know, and I want to blame it on the hormones, but I didn't even have the child.

I was going to say, not possible. No, I know. So you factor that in and then you play that song to us, lost it. On the other side of it,

imagine how cool it would be growing up if you had a song written about you, or at least you think you did anyway. Both of her in there does anyone that's what i wanted to get to does anyone have a song um that they think was written about them or a song that's named after them i um i wrote one when i was three oh no shit about yourself just i couldn't really talk but i could sing it for you right of course you could sing before you could talk of course you

could you couldn't talk but you wrote a song so this is it oh you're gonna sing it for you, right? Of course you could sing before you could talk. Of course you could. You couldn't talk, but you wrote a song. So this is it. Are you going to sing it? Yeah, I'll sing it. It has kind of words in it. It goes, A do-di-duck, you're a little ducky. Little and ducky, little ducky in a little, little.

Makes no sense. I'm going to stop you there. I think we're copyright infringement. A very big copyright. I made that up. What song is that to stop you there. I think we're copyright infringement. Very big copyright. I made that up. I've recognised some of the melody. Is that again? Is that again?

No, you guys tell me. You guys are telling the story. No, I've already said it. I forgot it now. What is that song? I don't know. Incy Wincy Spider. Incy Wincy Spider.

You've got to get inspiration from somewhere I wrote my own lyrics Hey, you're doing more than me at three I was doing shit all No other songs anyone thinks about them That was beautiful by the way I've written songs about other people Have you?

Yeah, I actually Why do you look at me like that? Because where are they? Well, my friend Anjali She's an amazing singer back home in Brisbane, her and I wrote, well, I said to her, I was going through a real bad breakup and I said, oh, I've got this idea for a song and I wrote most of it and then she recorded it.

Yeah. And I think it exists somewhere back in the last radio session that I worked at because the guy who was the audio guy there produced it. Yeah. Oh, my God. I wish I could find it. Maybe who was the audio guy there produced it. Yeah. Oh my god. I wish I could find it. Maybe I should email the guy and ask him for it. It was very break-up-y.

Yes. Oh no. But not like slow. Sad break-up-y? Angry break-up-y. Angry. I thought so. Yeah, the best kind. Alanis Morissette break-up-y. Yes, yep, yep. I'll see if I can find it. Please do. I can't remember what it's called. I can't remember what it's called but I'll see if I can find it. Please do. I can't remember what it's called. I can't remember what it's called, but I'll see if I can find it.

Die, bastard, asshole. Lyrics by Brie Thomas-El. It was a beautiful song. I bet. If you want to hear that song, it's by a Kiwi artist, it's from a national band called Anika Moa, that's spelled A-N-I-K-A-M-O-A,

and it's the song, which I'm just going to claim, exclusively about my daughter. She's famous now. Even though she's got another daughter with the exact same name. Coincidence, I say. Here's today's podcast, everybody. Lap this up. Really let it wash over you.

And just bathe in the sound. Z-D-M. Z-D-M. Let's go. Now let me see you dance. Z-D-M, Brie and Clint. Kiona, everybody. Welcome to the show.

Happy Monday, everybody. Yeah, happy Monday. Good to be back after a nice, relaxing weekend. But no, I love it. I love it back at work. Brie's burnt both of her feet and she's grumpy about it. I am so dumb. I'm so stupid.

Is this your first Kiwi sunburn? No, I know like how strong the Kiwi sun is because the Aussie one's nearly as bad but the Kiwi one's worse. So I know the logistics of it. Yeah. But I put all my sunscreen on because I went to the beach and I put all my sunscreen on my body when I was

still wearing my shoes. Yeah. And then because we were on a boat and then I hopped off the boat and I was like, oh, I'll take my shoes off and put my feet in the sand. And I forgot to put sunscreen on the tops of my feet. They'll teach you. In New Zealand, you have to, when you shower, you then fill

the bath up with sunscreen after you've had your shower. And you just roll around. And you just roll around in it for five minutes, and that's you good for about three hours, unless of course you go swimming. But you'll learn, all these things will come to you over time, three hours, unless, of course, you go swimming. But you'll learn. All these things will come to you over time, you know. Honestly, the UV here is the devil. Slip, slop, slap and wrap it up, New Zealand.

Today on the show, this is quite exciting, we may have Andy Lee from Hamish and Andy joining us on the show after five o'clock. Yes, Andy Lee could be joining us on the show. He's on Have You Been Paying Attention this week, which is on TVNZ2 on Wednesday night. But he's also going to talk about the new show

that him and Hamish are launching also on Wednesday night. Perfect holiday. On TV2. Yeah, that's exciting. Also, we've got your chance to win some money

for festival season thanks to Spark just after four o'clock. If you're looking to get everything you need, it doesn't matter what festival you're going to this summer, you're going to need funds.

We can sort you out just after four o'clock. And there's a lot of money up for grabs with that, can I say? There's a lot of festivals on, so that's good too. Next though, one of those stories that'll make you feel like a big dummy as we celebrate another incredibly

intelligent child. This kid, this kid will make Lorde look like an underachiever. I tell you that much. If you are a kid, stay listening. I'm sure you'll be inspired next. ZM. I know the taste of my tears.

Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Think of some successful young people, like some people who you're like, man, how did you get so good at stuff when you're not even out of high school yet? Lorde comes to mind. Yeah.

16 years old and releases a Grammy winning song. What other kids can you think of? Lydia Ko, the New Zealand golfer. She's 16 and I think that's when she beat Tiger Woods at 16. In an arm wrestle as well. What?

I know, it's seriously impressive. This story puts both of them, I'm not going to say to shame, but it really shifts the dial again for us people who didn't really start to achieve anything until maybe our 30s. I'm still waiting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly right. A kid out of Belgium by the name of Laurent Simons is on track to become the world's youngest university graduate at,

and this is, this is, this is, nine years old. He's about to graduate university and he is nine years old. How is that possible? Because he has an IQ of 145. Now, I don't know much about IQs, but. It's fairly high. What's a.

Rowan Atkinson has an IQ of like 175. I think the average IQ is like between 85 and 110 maybe. So if you've got an IQ over 100, you're doing okay. Does it grow with your age? Like does your IQ get higher? I mean, it can. Like if he's at 145 now, is it like a... This shows why I'm not on the list

because I don't even know how IQs work. IQ is a weird one. It's more how your brain works. Here's a good chart. 110 to 120, superior intelligence. 120 to 140, very superior intelligence. 140 and over, genius. So this kid is in the genius territory.

He has a territory. He has a degree, what has he even done it in? Electrical engineering. That's what my brother studied. He wants to research creating artificial organs because, get this, both of his grandparents are heart patients. So he wants to find a way to make artificial

organs for people who have that problem. So not only is he a genius, but he may also be a lovely person. Definitely something that obviously the world needs, that's for sure. Do you want to be that smart? And this might be a real dumb person question, but do you want to be burdened with all that knowledge? Because they say ignorance is bliss.

I mean, I'm not the smartest person. I'm pretty happy. So I'm going to say, no, I don't think I'd like to be that smart because you'd be so, because you'd know so much and you would be so aware of everything. You could never just live in bliss, ever. That's what I mean by ignorance is bliss. You could never.

Like if you're on that level, you'll be able to read like body language. Maybe he can read minds. Maybe that's what happens. Yeah, but you know what they say, some people that are so smart, they actually are a little bit, I guess, they're probably too smart for their own good and they can't read social cues because they're too smart. Oh, because they've spent too much time in the books. No, yeah, they're so much smarter than people.

They can't relate to someone like you or me. Well, that's where I've got it over, Lorent Simons, who's on track to be the world's youngest university graduate. Yeah, because you're a real Casanova. Nine years old. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean is on the red carpet for the AMAs today,

so we're just going to let him do his thing, and we're going to cover the latest for you. Yeah, I saw his Instagram. He was hanging out with Lizzo and Shawn Mendes. Well, they were kind of walking past and he was yelling at them on the red carpet. That's hanging out. Hanging out. That's what hanging out is in LA.

But we've got a few good stories for you today. One in particular, this is blowing up the internet. And if you're a big fan of Kath and Kim, then you're going to go absolutely bananas for this. Because Magda Zabanski, who of course plays Sharon, Kim's best friend on the show, she is back in an Uber Eats ad, but she's back with a new and improved Kim.

Have a listen to this. I'll be eating pesto gnocchi and garlic bread to keep me carved up. Hey, Kim, what are you going to have? I'll be eating a chicken schnitty with chips and chicken salt. Ooh, nice. Nice. It's actually pronounced nice. Nice?

Nice. Nice. N-I-C-E, nice. Nice. Yes, that is none other than Kim Kardashian. The second most recognisable Kim in the world, Kim Kardashian. Literally, right? That's good. That's good that Magda's back.

Man, that shows you the power of that company too. If they can book Kim Kardashian to do an ad about getting a chicken parmigiana delivered to your house. And she calls it a chicken schnee. I love it. It's great. It's a great ad. It's very funny too. Very, very good.

Go look it up. Both of them are very good in the ad. It's great. It's a great ad. It's very funny too. Very, very good. Go look it up. Both of them are very good in the ad. It's awesome. The latest is brought to you by Amplify Kombucha. Taste Amplified. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I want to tell you about this cat called Sasha, which we have heard.

Sasha. Yeah, Sasha the cat. It's a fierce name for a cat. Isn't it? Sasha. And she's a black cat too, so it makes it even more fierce. She was owned by a guy who was in his 20s and she was a rescue cat. Anyway, he rescued her when she was a bit older and had her microchipped

because he loved her, obviously. I don't know how long he had her for, but about five years ago, Sasha didn't return home from one of her walks. That's sad. Yeah, really sad. They need to make those microchips. They need to put a GPS in them. Find my cat.

Find my cat. Or find my dog. Come on, iPhone, get onto that. You can put a tile on their neck. You can buy a chip that they wear around their neck but then they run out of batteries and that sort of thing. Imagine putting a microchip in where you can literally turn your smartphone on

and see where they are. Like Uber for cats. Your cat is five minutes away. It would be good. Anyway, so this cat was microchipped but just with the normal microchips that we know that animals get now. Anyway, so five years ago, he said he looked for her for quite a long time,

a couple of months, at least a month, and she never returned. You do when you lose a cat. Of course. Or any animal. My mum's still looking for their dog. And you see one that looks like it and you go, is that mine? Could that be? Maybe that's, yeah.

The worst part is not knowing. Anyway, so the guy that owned the cat, he lived in Portland, Oregon, which is northwest of the United States. Anyway, the cat has turned up five years later. Oh, whoa. Sasha has turned up exactly 3,400 kilometres away five years later. So to put that into perspective, 3,400 kilometres, it's like two lengths of New Zealand away.

Right. Did the cat find him? No. So the cat didn't find... Is this like the story of Bingo? It's not Milo and Otis. No. So the cat didn't find him and he didn't find the cat didn't find. Is this like the story of Bingo? It's not Milo and Otis. No. Okay.

So the cat didn't find him and he didn't find the cat. It was actually picked up by an animal shelter and they scanned the microchip. Oh, no. What's his name's cat? Yeah. So his name is Victor and that's the only way they could figure out that obviously it was his cat because it was so far away

and it was five years later. Anyway, they're not too sure exactly how the cat got 3,400 kilometres across the country or who's been looking after it. It's on a Zoe. Yeah, right. It's gone hitchhiking. I can't be a hitchhiking cat, I just don't have thumbs. Yeah, true.

That's why you keep your microchips up to date. And it is a great message, I guess, for all people that have animals. Keep your microchips up to date and make sure you change your address and your numbers if you change them. Because, I mean, five years later, you never know. Yeah, unless, of course, he's driven that cat out to the middle of nowhere and then kicked it out and then someone else has found it and they're like, hey, we've got your cat.

He's like, goddammit. Or the other way around. The cat was like, oh, he was trying to get away from this guy. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. Win with ZM and Bree and Clint's Spark Festy Guesty.

spark.co.nz forward slash music. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. There is new evidence out that Greta Thunberg, you know Greta Thunberg, How dare you? may be a time traveller. Yeah, there's stories all over the internet, isn't it?

First of all, do you believe in time travel? Um, I want to, but no. No? No. There's a photo doing the rounds of a girl who is gold mining on the Yukon, which is like an area, it might be a river or something, in Canada. The photo is from 1898. And the girl in the photo looks exactly the same as Greta Thunberg. Do you reckon she looks a bit younger though?

Possibly. Like maybe a couple of years younger than Greta. Yeah, well, because, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's possible. Or even then, I don't know, it's done on a black and white camera. The photo is 120 years old. But you can't look at that photo

and tell me that that is not Greta Thunberg. Oh, she looks very similar. We've put the picture on our Brian Clint Instagram story at the moment so you can go and vote on whether you think it's her or not. But I'm convinced. Like, I'm absolutely convinced that's her. She's a time traveller and she's been sent from the past or the future. She may have come from the future via the past to here

to save the world from climate change. She's coming from the past because she wouldn't here to save the world from climate change. Well, it wouldn't make sense if she was coming from the past because she wouldn't know about any stuff that's happened yet. But what if someone from the future went back and was like, the only person who can do this is this girl who was gold mining on the Yukon in 1898. She's the one to save us. Send her in.

Put her in a meeting with Donald Trump. Get her to stare at him like she wants to kill him, and then she'll save the world from climate change. I mean, I'm going to say it's probably not time travel. Because the first thing that I think about is, have you ever seen that show where it talks about how there's at least seven people on this planet that look very similar to you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she could be someone who's maybe related to her or it could just be someone that looks like one of her seven people

that's really looked like her. Yeah, true. And I guess if she was, why would you send her here? Why wouldn't you send her to, like, kill Henry Ford, the guy who invented the car, or go kill baby Hitler? Oh. Henry Ford, the guy who invented the car, or go kill baby Hitler. See, that would be way, I guess, more successful if you got sent to a different time. That might be on her list of things to do.

She might have to sort out climate change first, and then she's off to get, I don't know, there's a list of things she could do. Look, if a picture of the girl from, when was it? 18 when? 1898, yeah. If a picture of that girl comes out and she's standing next to the dock. Outside the DeLorean? I will believe it. And I will give her, I don't know how much money she needs, but I'll give her as much money as I need to get her to travel back to August this year

and let the All Blacks know you need to take England more seriously. Or whatever it is. Whatever it is. I don't know. You can see the photo. Yeah, because that's the one thing you should use time travel for. We've all got our priorities, all right? We've all got our priorities.

Brie and Clint, you can see that photo on our Instagram story. Brie and Clint. That's also the name of our Instagram account. Weird. I don't know. Whoa. Whoa. That's crazy.

Make Zed M Spree and Clint the podcast. A bit of a feel-good story for you for a Monday. I was chatting with one of my mates back in Aussie who I haven't talked to for quite a while, but I was talking to her about, you know, what's new in her life. Has she got a new job? Is she dating anyone? And I was quite surprised

to hear that she was dating one of our good friends that's in our friendship group. She has been friends with him for a long time. So have I. We've all been friends. Is that kosher? Like, is that okay with the friend group that they're getting together? Yeah, so he hasn't dated, like, we weren't friends with him because he was a boyfriend of someone or whatever we were just um all just mutual friends yeah but you know how monica and chandler had to hide it from the group for a while very similar to monica and chandler friends for i'm gonna say at least 10 years yeah um and then apparently and i said to oh, like that's a bit of a shock. Happy for you.

That's amazing news because I love both of them. Yeah. They're both great people. Are they a good match? Yeah. You knowing both of them as well as you do, did you ever think, oh, that'd be good together? I never thought that, but yeah, they are a good match. They're such good friends.

So they've already got that friendship. And I said to her, how did this even come about and she said apparently um one day he just said to her hey look i know this is a bit awkward but i feel like i think something happened to him in his life um i can't i didn't ask her that exactly but something's gone on in his life and he's gone life's too short pretty much and he said to her look i just want to tell you this might be nothing, but I've had feelings for you for a long time. Oh, my God. That is so romantic.

Yeah. And then he said, I never wanted to act on it because, you know, I didn't want to ruin the friendship that we had. I'm glad it's worked out for them. I'm sure there's plenty of occasions where it doesn't work out. I do think with these situations where a couple get together after being friends for, like you said, a decade. Yes. What is there to talk about on your first date?

Like... No, that's true. Like, surely you've covered everything. Yeah, but when you're like, obviously, I mean, they're not best friends. No. They're just kind of, you know, good friends. Imagine the first time, imagine you're good friends with someone. Imagine the first time you see them naked and you're

like. It would be bizarre. Oh, that's what that looks like. It was like. I've always wondered. Yeah. Well, that's creepy. Well, no, no. You've always had feelings for them. Well, yeah, but I mean, very, yeah, very interesting. And I said, you know, how long has this been going on for? And she said, well, we've been seeing each other for about five months, but we've only just started telling people now. That's the right thing to do. Yeah, because she said. Because you need to know if it's a real thing

before you bother your friend group with it. Because otherwise, if it falls through straight away, that's awkward for everybody. I know. And they said, yeah, they're at that point now where they think it's quite serious. Yeah, just keep it awkward for yourselves yeah we're just gonna tell people now yeah okay but i'm super happy for them but

it's not something you hear happening you know all that often no and most of the time you do hear the stories where one person will have the feelings for the other friend and then they're like no we're just friends is it true that ellie you you were friends, you were like really good friends with your boyfriend for a long time before you guys got together? Yeah, we were like best friends for like two years. Yeah. So what's the catalyst? What's the thing that sparks the moving into the next stage?

Yeah, it was a weird one. For a while I... Alcohol? You know what? That's the only reason I was able to tell him. Yeah. It's because I had been drinking and I got the guts to do it. And it was such a risk because I was like,

if he doesn't feel the same, I have ruined this friendship. But have you though? Well, I wasn't sure. She has because she'll start questioning all of his motives. He'll be like, oh, I thought you were my friend, but all this time you were just trying to sleep with me. Exactly. Don't want to put a damper on your relationship,

but I dated a really good friend And it didn't work out Don't you listen to her No I won't I will not But I'm sure it's super different Very different Well I wonder if there's some stories out there about this About people who have

What do you want to know? Did you have the Well I mean I would love to know someone Who has had feelings for a friend for a long, long time and they still haven't told their friend. I'd love those stories if you're willing to call up. Those could be a bit sad. No, but maybe they just haven't had the courage yet to tell them.

And we can, you know, you can talk to us anonymously. But I'd also love to hear the stories where it has worked out and you've been friends for a long time and someone came clean and then you've ended up together. Oh, say that other one. Please say that other one. But also the ones where it hasn't worked out. Yeah, we want to hear those too. Yeah. 0800 dial ZM, your crush on a friend stories. Is that what we're doing? Yeah, that's what we're doing. Also, you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM.

I'm just telling your story about these two friends of mine in my friendship group who we've all been friends for about 10 years and I was chatting to her the other day. I haven't talked to her in quite a while and she said, oh, did you know me and such and such, one of the guys in our friendship group, have started dating? She's screwing the crew. Yeah, which I'm so happy for them because they're both such amazing people and I've seen them both go through relationships

where it just hasn't worked. And I think I think you know they've already got that amazing friendship and I know it's a risk but sometimes life's too short and maybe they are their forever people I mean they've been friends for 10 years they must like each other enough to be friends for that long you know big risk I think some risks are worth taking I think so too yeah but let's see how it's gone for people Mel's's on the phone. G'day, Mel. Hi, Mel. Hi, how are you? Good.

Have you ended up with a friend? Yes, I have. What happened with you? Well, coming up 10 years ago next year, I went for a job interview and he actually interviewed me and hired me. Okay. And at the time I was already in a relationship and had been for about three years. Oh, yeah.

And I remember in the interview I felt something. I thought, yeah, he's all right and, you know, a bit attractive and things like that. And I didn't know at the time, but he sort of felt the same thing. But neither of us sort of thought anything more of it because I was in a relationship. Fast forward probably about seven years later, that relationship no longer with that person that I was with at the time. Yeah. And I was looking for a new job, so I had to get in touch with the guy that I'm friends with, that I've ended up together with. Yeah.

And, yeah, I had to get in touch with him to make sure I had reference details so that I could go for this job and have a referee. And you just slipped it in there that you were single now? Yeah. Oh, well, not quite. But yeah, within a few days of getting in contact I just thought, well why can't I get him out of my head? This is a bit crazy. I thought I either tell him and risk

ruining the friendship or I don't tell him and then not know. And I thought, you know what? If it works, it works and it's a risk worth taking. And it worked. You had a double risk going on too, because not only would you lose a friend if it didn't work, you would have lost a LinkedIn endorsement.

Yeah. You don't want to lose those job references. They're hard to come by. Yeah. Yeah, and as it happens, we're now getting married next year, February. Oh, congratulations. Well, you're an example of how it can work. Simon's here.

G'day, Simon. Simon. Hello there. Are you another success story? Yes it can work. Simon's here. G'day, Simon. Simon. Hello there. Are you another success story? Yes, I am. What happened with you? I met a girl, went to school with her for my whole life, kind of liked her intermediate school and that,

and then pretty much my final year of school, went out one month and got the courage to make a move. That happened, and then I started dating her. So she felt the same way, Simon? Well, in the beginning, she probably did, but she obviously didn't want anything to happen, and then it happened one month when we were out partying. Again, alcohol, right?

Yeah. That's courage. I got the courage to ask her out to date, to be my girlfriend. Yeah. We dated for seven years. And then after that, we got married. Four years. And got three kids together.

And the rest is history. This is all very much gearing us. Success stories, right? Yeah, success stories, right? This next one's interesting because this is a text we've got from someone who is currently, well, and they're going to remain anonymous. In love with their best friend, apparently. Anonymous, you're currently in love with your best friend.

Is that true? Yeah, pretty much. Oh, anonymous. This is, like, terrifying but exciting at the same time. Give us the friendship credentials. How long have you known each other? Well, we knew each other a long time ago And have been friends again for about 18 months Yeah

Okay And the problem is she's very straight Oh no You fell for the straight girl Are you out, anonymous? I know, Bree That's the worst Are you out?

Does she know that you're Oh God, oh yes Okay, so that part you've taken care of Do you believe Are you out? Like, does she know that you're... Oh, God. Oh, yes, yes. Yeah. Okay, so on that part you've taken care of. Do you believe... Oh, see, I don't even know how to approach this question, so I'll just ask one question.

Do you believe that she could be interested? No, I'm going to say no, because, yeah, it's just not for her. Right. Has she had any boyfriends recently? Let's say yes. Okay. Does she currently have a boyfriend? But they haven't worked out.

Put it this way, I wouldn't risk the friendship Because I'd rather have But you're in love with But you're in But you're in love with her Yes Oh that breaks my heart I can't deal with this Yeah

I can't Again I mean I don't mean to keep going back to it But Maybe alcohol Like is there No because what if You know I know I you know, she could risk the whole friendship. Yeah.

Oh, no, if you're good friends, you can move. Anonymous, let me ask you this, because obviously you've gotten these feelings. Is there something that she has kind of portrayed to you or given to you, some vibe that has kind of let you feel that? Is there any kind of vibe that she's ever given you? Let's say things have happened. Nah, I knew it.

There's got to be a reason that you've got those feelings from somewhere, you know? If you ever do, I'm not going to push you down any road, obviously, and even if I did, you don't have to do it, I say. I'll be the marriage celebrant, though, if you ever do end up together. Would you tell us if you ever make a move one way or the other, would you ring and tell us? Okay. Yes, I will. She's like,

absolutely not. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Let's have a round of trash or treasure. Trash! Oh, treasure. From one masterpiece to another, your chance to win some free mobile fuel with us on this game. Yeah, pretty easy.

We're going to give you an item, and you'll get to hear a few details about it, and then you just need to tell us whether it's worth over five grand, Trash, I mean Treasure, or under five grand, which will be Trash. G'day, James. G'day, mate. How are you? Good.

Not to put too much pressure on this, but producer Ben believes this may be the greatest game of trash or treasure he's ever organised. Pretty big call. The honour is yours to play. Are you ready for the first item? I'm good to go, yep.

All right, James. Here comes item number one. The contract between Brian Epstein, who is the manager, and the Beatles creating the partnership between the two of them. You have the original Beatles contract? Yep. What's really unique, it had to be signed by two of the parents,

James McCartney and Harold Harrison, because at the time, both of them were under 21. That's incredible. But also you'd think a pretty easy one to get The contract? No, whether that's worth under five grand or over five grand Oh, I thought you meant the item itself No

You go and get it then I'm just saying pretty easy to tell what that's going to be worth Well, no cheating No giveaways But James, is the original signed Beatles recording contract Trash or treasure? It has to be treasure. Let's not jump the gun.

Let's find out. There's no question that this is genuine. I'd put the value of this piece right at around $500,000. I'm shocked. Cheeky half a mil for the single most important recording contract of all time. Okay, that puts you on one. Yes, let's hear item number two.

This is the earliest sticker-sealed Super Mario Bros. Nintendo game. This one also happens to be an incredibly high grade. Even if the other ones are found, there's no way it's going to come close to this condition. So it's literally the earliest Super Mario Nintendo game in existence on the planet. Yeah, but I mean, does it have an HDMI input? Can you even use it on your TV these days?

We don't know. Technology becomes obsolete, Brie. It actually halves in value every year. It depreciates like crazy. I'm going to say the earliest one in existence. I have a good idea if it's trash or treasure, but it's up to you, James. What do you think? I don't want to say trash.

You're going to say trash? Yeah. All right. Lock in trash. I know of firm offers that have been turned down at $300,000. I'm going to say it's just in that treasure range. James, I was like totally joking, bro. Like it's the oldest known copy of Super Mario Brothers.

Okay. You need this next one, James. This may actually turn out to be the greatest game of Treasure, Treasure of all time. Ben may have been right. Here comes your third item. You need this one to win the game, James. Got a 1985 Sports Illustrated magazine featuring Hulk Hogan. It's been autographed by him.

Also autographed by Ric Flair. I'm a huge fan of Hulk Hogan. It's been autographed by him. Also autographed by Ric Flair. I'm a huge fan of Hulk Hogan. Been a fan my whole life. I got a big collection of stuff. I'm just trying to unload a couple things. Oh, that's epic. It's a Sports Illustrated magazine with Hulk on the front. This looks old-ass, like 80s.

Looks very old. And he's balding even then. Yeah, he's been like that for a long time, his whole career. Try to wear the bandana, right? Signed by Hulk Hogan. What do you reckon, James? Trash? I reckon trash.

You reckon trash? Trash. Hulk Hogan, you reckon a sign by Hulk Hogan, trash? He wants trash, lock in trash. I can hear him doubting himself, though. He might change his... No, let's just do it. Let's go trash and find out.

I'll tell you what. I'll give you 75 bucks. Clint tried to stiff you, James. I just wanted to see how resilient you were. That's horrible. You've done it, James. You've picked up the fuel, James. Nice work.

You've won a signed copy of Sports Illustrated magazine with Hulk Hogan on the cover. But instead, we might just give you the value of that magazine and mobile fuel, okay? Ooh, yeah, cool, man. Thank you. Thank you very much. No worries.

James, thanks for playing. That was the greatest game of Trash of Treasure. So good. It had tension. It had jeopardy. He didn't oversell it at all. Bree and Clint, the podcast. Zed in.

I've got a story for you about yesterday. I went to the McDonald's drive-thru, and I'm pretty sure at least one of the producers is going to love this story. Okay. Can I ask what time of day you were at the drive-thru? Does it matter? It would have been about 10.30 in the morning. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, about 10.30 because I actually remember looking at the clock because of the weird thing that I saw happening in the drive-through. Okay. So picture this. The McDonald's drive-through that me and my friend were in, we were sitting in one of the lanes. You know how there's some that have two lanes now? Yeah.

They all eventually merge into one lane anyway. So there's two lanes and then they merge into one lane. So we were sitting in one lane and we were there first and then next minute this brand new beautiful looking Range Rover pulls up next to us. Oh, yeah. But we were there first. Anyway, so we were ordering our food and it was taking quite a long time

and then there was a guy sitting in the window of the Range Rover, looked like a pretty cool cat. Anyway, he was ordering and I think he actually got to order his food before us. Yeah. So he's kind of nudged out but there was a car in front of him whereas our lane, there was free. Yeah.

So we've kind of pushed out a little bit in front of him and it was the same old story where he kind of nudged forward and then we kind of nudged forward. No one wants to merge like a zap. You just want to get your filet-o-fish and get out of there. Well, exactly. Anyway, at this point he had his hand kind of sitting up on the window and he had sunglasses on and he had a cigarette in his mouth.

Damn, he is a cool cat. But the cigarette wasn't lit. He just had it kind of hanging out his mouth and he was kind of sitting there. Who is this guy, Billy Ray Cyrus? No, you wait, you listen. Anyway, he kind of looks at us and he kind of like gives us the head nod. To say what?

To say like, I'm going in front. But it was in a funny way. He was actually kind of like, he kind of was like looking at us. Got your punk. Yeah, as he was looking at us, he just nudged right in front of us and he'd obviously won. Banter. Banter. It was funny. We thought it was funny. It was all good. Anyway, it was at this point where he was in front of us at this point, but we could see him and he'd just lit the cigarette. So he just lit the cigarette. People who smoke

in those really expensive cars buzz me out. Well, it's crazy, right? I was like, that's a brand new Range Rover. Anyway, I looked at my friend and she looked at me and literally at the same time we said to each other, that looks like a joint. Oh, okay. Anyway, we both went, that looks like a joint. Yeah. And at this point he'd lit the cigarette.

Yeah. And about 10 seconds later we looked at each other and we went, that is a joint. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So at this point, there's a guy in a Range Rover sitting with his hand out the window smoking a joint. Smoking the Mary J, yeah. And I was like, this guy is next level.

And you see him pull around up to the window, still smoking the joint. He pays for his food and he drives up to the next window, still smoking the joint, grabs his food and he drives off. Shouldn't be driving, by the way, but yeah. Right. Anyway, we pull up to the first window and it was 10.30 in the morning and I said to the guy who was serving, I said, did you just smell that guy's joint?

Yeah. And the guy goes, yeah, he comes through here all the time. Right. And I was like, right. I was like, well, it makes sense. He's got a joint and he's at McDonald's. Yeah, like apart from the driving bit. Yeah.

It's a life hack because if that is your lifestyle of choice, what better place to get the munchies than in the McDonald's drive-thru? Drive-thru. Yeah. Literally no Fs given at all. Nah, right. Did he pay for your meal? Because I would want, if you've had this banter,

and then he's in a brand new Range Rover, and you're in a fairly run-down Mitsubishi. Okay. Well, it's been involved in a crash this year. Yeah, it has. Like, the least you can do is sort of go, I got this one, girl. Thanks for the good times. Slick move.

But nothing? No, we didn't get anything. Oh, well, you win some, you lose some. Are you drunk or not? ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. So I saw something on the internet because that's where I spend most of my time. Same. It's really annoying.

We need to get on top of that. Anyway, I did see something that I found quite funny and I thought you and I could give it a go for our show today. Okay. All right, so I need you to call a bottle-o. Yes, I can do that. And a bottle-o that's got a lot of different varieties of drinks. Okay, yeah, I think I can handle that.

Okay, perfect. Colleen speaking. Okay, yeah, I think I can handle that. Okay, perfect. Colleen speaking. Hello, sorry, who was that? Colleen. Colleen, hi. I was wondering if you could help me out. I've recently gotten back to New Zealand after a trip over in the UK and I tasted a particular type of cider over there

and I was wondering if you had the brand of cider. Okay, what brand was that? It was called Dickens. Dickens? Dickens, yeah. Do we have Dickens cider? No, we don't have that one. Oh, right.

So, must be just in the UK. So, you definitely don't have it? No, not Dickens. No, we don't. Not Dickens cider. Okay. All right. Where did you say you got that one from?

Well, I tasted it mainly in London. Oh, in London. Okay. Have you heard of that brand before? Yeah, we have heard of it, but we don't stock that one. Right, right. Okay, well, thanks for your help. Appreciate it.

No worries. Okay, bye. You can't ask that poor lady if she's got Dickens cider. I just want I liked the brand I need to distance myself from this Should I have tried You know what other brand I liked

I did love the Cummins brand as well Nah No Cross the line You know what It is a real brand And I'm sure they would love the airtime. You drink it then. Bree and Clint, the podcast.

ZM. Birthday banger. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, let's get a few birthday bangers from Monday. What was top of the charts on these three people's 16th birthday?

First to play is Nikita. Kia ora, Nikita. Hi, Nikita. Hi. What's your birthday, Nikita? 21st of June, 1999. Okay, you were 16 in 2015 on the 21st of June, and this was top of the charts.

What an anthem. I know. One of my favourites from 2015. What a banger. Major Lazer and Moo. Lean on. So good. You've got a great birthday bang in the key there.

Thanks. Yep, okay. Let's see what else is in the mix today. Sally's here. Kia ora, Sally. Hi, Sally. Hey, how's it going? Good.

How are you? Good, thank you. That's good. What's your birthday? 8th of November, 1976. All right. You were 16 in 1992 on the 8th of November. And Sally, this is your birthday banger.

Oh, girl. That's a sad song, isn't it? It's a little bit sad. It's not a song we're afraid of, girl. That's a sad song, isn't it? It's a little bit sad. It's not a song we're afraid of, though. In fact, we have played this song on Birthday Banger before. Boys to Men, End of the Road. You have to get your lighter out for that one, don't you? Yeah, you do.

What memories does it bring back for you? Where does that song transport you to, Sally? Oh, that's a bit shady. Oh! Not for the radio. Who's that in the background yelling at you? Oh, yeah, that's a bit shady. Oh! Not for the radio. Who's that in the background yelling at you? Yeah, that's the girls. I've been dared to ring in because they keep,

every time we drive home. Don't tell the raunchy story in front of them, Sally, all right? No, it's not happening. Keep it PG, Sal. Wait there. Mo is here. Hey, Mo. Hi, Mo.

Hey. What's your birthday? 15th of September, 93. All right, you were 16 in 2009 on the 15th of September. And back in 2009, this went to number one. Oh, the sea bass. The original Australian idol, Guy Sebastian, Like It Like That. This is a good birthday banger, Mo.

No, I'm not a fan. Oh, girl, you're not a fan. It's not his best song, I will say. I'm voting for Nikita's one. Lean On. Yeah, I do love that track. Lean On, over boys to men. Well, it's a good sing-along, but you've had it before, haven't you?

Yeah, that's a good point. And it is a Monday. God, you're reasonable, aren't you, Mo? Right. Appreciate your input, Mo. Well, what are we going to play then? We've got Guy Sebastian, ultimately it's our decision. Guy Sebastian, Lean On from Major Lazer or Boys to Men, End of the Road.

That Guy Sebastian song's fun, wasn't it? Isn't that fun? I'm saying that's probably my least likely. Really? Yeah, I'm tossing up between End of the Road and Lean On. Yeah, what are the text machines saying? Is anybody... Got to be Boyz II Men.

I'm going to say Boyz II Men for me. You're going to say Boyz II Men? That's my vote, yeah. I think you're probably right. I think we just do it. Sally, you're going to win Birthday Banger. Is that okay? Yay, go me. Okay, here we go to win birthday banger. Is that okay? Yay.

Go me. Okay, here we go. Go you, Sally. Hello, Monday. Yeah. Bing. Yeah, this is good vibes. Yeah.

Good boys to men. Monday. Can't go wrong. This is the winner of birthday banger, Brian Clint, ZDM. Why do you play with my heart? Why do you play with my heart? Why do you play with my mind? You said we'd be forever. You said it'd never die.

How could you love me and leave me and never Say goodbye When I can't sleep at night Without holding you tight Girl, it's time I try I just break down in my Pain in my head Oh, I'd rather be dead Spilling the love around In the rough

Oh, we've come to the end of the road Still I can't let go It's a natural feeling I feel it all to me I feel it all to you Girl, I know you really love me You just don't realize You've never been there before

It's only your first time Maybe I'll give you Maybe you'll try We should be happy together forever You and I

You can love me again like you loved me before This time I want you to love me much more This time it's been, just come to my bed And maybe just don't let me turn my back on you I'm gonna go, too deep End of the road End of the road

Still I can't let go No I can't let go baby It's a little bit too deep You'll get up to me I'll get up to you I don't know what I'm gonna do I don't know what I'm gonna do Cause I know I've come to the end of the road

End of the road Still I can't know what I'm gonna do cause I know I've come to the end of the road And I know Still I can't let go It's a natural I can't hold it in I can't hold it in Although we've come To the end of the road Still I can't let go.

It's unnatural. You belong to me. I belong to you. We'll go to the end of the road. Still I can't let go. Zidane, Brie and Clint. It's the winner of Birthday Banger. From boys to men, that is end of the road. Someone has texted us and said,

why on earth would you pick this Birthday Banger? My girlfriend just left me and I'm trying not to be sad about it. And this song is exactly how I'm feeling. Look, we couldn't have predicted that, but that's the power of an emotional banger, right? Sometimes I guess it lets you get through something. It brings

the emotions to the surface, right? Yeah, you gotta just cry it out. Helps you to process them here and now so you don't bottle them up for later. Yeah. Boyz II Men also big funeral music. Are they? Not to bring the vibe down even further, but yeah, get played a lot at funerals. Right.

ZM's Brie and Clint, the podcast. Very special guest in the studio this afternoon, Andy Lee. Good afternoon. Hello. Brie, Clint, nice to be here. Hey, you're here for a couple of things. First of all, you're going to be on Have You Been Paying Attention? Yes.

This week? Yes. Brie was on it last week? Yeah, I was on it last week. I'm so excited to have you on the show. Well, I will cool the audience down after you left them red hot, no doubt. Oh, I worn them down for you, trust me. And that's playing out straight before your new TV show goes to air.

A new show with Hamish. Yeah, so Hamish Nandy's Perfect Holiday show goes to air. A new show with Hamish. Yeah. So Hamish Nandy's Perfect Holiday, it's called. Another travel show. Obviously, across New Zealand, took a lot of our travel shows back in the day, which is really great. But it's been five years since our last one.

And with this one, we're in North America. And the difference being, we organised alternate days for each other. So I woke up every second day having no idea what was going to happen. Got given a little card. I love that idea. And then found out the activity of the day, which was great fun. You say you love that idea. Bree is the single most suspicious person in my life.

I work in radio, Andy. You should know. But there must be a certain level of trust that you have to have with each other. Is there, or do you just go, I'm going to get stitched up tomorrow, just roll with it? No, I mean, there certainly were some stitch-ups, for sure. I probably delivered the first punch when I organised the hottest chilli up tomorrow just roll with it no i mean there certainly was some stitch-ups for sure um i

probably delivered the first punch when i i organized the hottest chili in the world for hamish to try and eat it never been tasted by a human this one they right this guy crossbreeds chilies for a living and he'd he'd been waiting to release this one and just because yeah it's really weird that that is hamish to this day, still waiting to release it. Burning ring of fire. Exactly. I think it's fair to say you've now moved into a stage of your career where you can dish out advice.

Is that fair? You've been there, done that. Yeah, I felt... You're Yoda level now. No, I wouldn't say that, but what Hamish and I did have a cry one day when the ABC, our national broadcast, reached out and said, we'd love Haym and Shane to come on and talk about their career.

I was like, holy. Are you in that stage? Oh, right. I was like, if they say career so far, they'd like to talk about their career so far. No, just as a whole. Just as a whole. I didn't like the sound of that.

But yes, Clint, I'll take that on board. Yeah, sure. Because we'd like some advice. Not me specifically. I'm so against this idea, can I take that award. Yeah, sure, because we'd like some advice. Well, not me specifically. I'm so against this idea, can I say? Sure. Have you ever done stand-up comedy before? I've done a very limited amount.

Fantastic. Brie's doing her first ever stand-up set tonight. Great. So I thought while you're here, you've actually got two options. She's going to deliver some stand-up for us. This is so horrible. Well, yeah, because it's actually the worst way to ever have to do a performance. So you have two options.

You can either critique her performance, or I haven't actually signed this off with Bree, you can hickle her. Oh, come on. I'm brand new. You've got to be prepared for both situations. I'm trying to think of any jokes I have that are clean enough for the radio. Yeah, that is also an issue, isn't it? Yeah, it is hard. Okay, no, I'm trying to think of any jokes I have that are clean enough for the radio. Yeah, that is also an issue,

isn't it? Yeah, it is hard. Okay, now I'm happy to be a critique. I don't want to heckle her. Critique? Yeah, critique. Do her a big favour and build her confidence up. Maybe welcome her out onto the show, onto the stage. Okay, no problem. Now, do you have a stage name, Bree? Nah, let's just go with Bree. Bree. Yeah, that's perfect. Okay, guys.

So, that would be the answer. Normally, I mean, the sad thing every time I've done stand-up is I've been backstage with my own mic going, and next up, you've seen him on the radio. That'll be me. Okay, so Brie, next up, you've heard her on the radio, you've seen her on Have You Been Paying Attention, New Zealand's, Australia's favourite daughter, Brie.

Yay! Oh, God. Thanks so much. Good crowd. Great crowd tonight, isn't it? I mean, thanks, all. Yay! Oh, God. Thanks so much. Good crowd. Great turnout in tonight, isn't it? I mean, thanks, all four of you, for coming. It's good to be here. Australia sucks.

Oh, sorry, I'm not meant to. Go home, Skip. Eat a dick, you Kiwi. Anyway, look, I've got one joke for you guys tonight. Look, I'm nearly 30 and I've decided that I'm finally going to watch Harry Potter, the series, the full series. I'm going to get into it. I read something online where all the Harry Potter fans were talking about how JK Rowling came out and said that Dumbledore was a gay wizard. And all the fans were like, nah, I can't deal with this. I can't comprehend it. How is he gay? This is

ridiculous. The dude's a bloody wizard and you're fine with that, but you can't comprehend that he's a gay wizard. Guess what? Gay people exist. But I actually have been to Hogwarts for gay people. It's called the Family Bar on K Road. Same thing happens. A guy walks in, his name's Harry, meets a guy called Ron and they play with their wands.

So it's the same thing. Is this still a family-friendly set? I'm panicking. I'm just making it up now. I'm panicking. I'm just making it up now. I feel like that just bombed real bad. It's huge. This is Chris Rock level stuff. And now people pay a lot of money for this.

Before he has to go, Andy Lee, your critique. Wonderful bravery. I love what you're wearing. You presented really well. Do you want a golden buzzer? Yeah, your mic technique was perfect. I could hear you. Shooting myself.

Well, you can see Brea Timp stand-up comedy tonight and you can see Andy with Hamish on Perfect Holiday on TVNZ2 this Wednesday night. I know which one I'd be picking. On Wednesday. And look, single guys should head down. That's a good reason to go to both. Come on down, guys.

I'd be glad to have you there. Andy Lee, thank you very much. Pleasure, guys. Well done. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Can we agree that cars are a giant waste of money? Is that something we can get consensus on?

Depends. If you buy a reliable, good, kind of not over-the-top expensive car, then no. Okay. Well, can we agree that cars is a... Depends what type of car you own, I think. Okay, well, that's a very good point. I see them as a waste of money, but at the same time,

God, I'd love a new car. I'd love a new car so much. This was Clint earlier today, or you even said this to me the other day. He's like, oh. He goes, I was looking at Audis because you want to buy an Audi station wagon. I'd love one. And then you said, you go,

the only reason I want to buy it is to show off. Yeah. He goes, and I realised that I park it in the garage so no one would see it. So why would I spend all that money on a car when I just want to show it off? And that's the problem with a status symbol is you're driving around a giant penis mobile.

That's the thing. Everyone goes, he spent so much money on that car when he had a perfectly good Honda Accord all along. Nothing wrong with your car. If you are in the market for a new car, this is good. This is a list of the most reliable cars.

Okay? Sounds boring. I know. But, you know, this is everyday life, people. This is the stuff that we need to factor into our life. Hyundai XL. Did you guys have those cars in New Zealand? I don't think so. You cannot kill that car.

Are they the rental ones? The hatchback ones? Hatchback, small, two-door, they go forever. I've got the list. The 30 most reliable cars, well, from 1 to 30. I think there's only 30 cars. In the world. Yeah, 30 is a Cadillac.

That's the least reliable car in the world. I could have told you that. Then an Alfa Romeo. God, you know someone's made bad life decisions if they're a young person pulling up in an Alfa Romeo. You go, why did you? How do you say it? How did you arrive here? Alfa Romeo.

What do you say? How do you say it? How do you arrive here? Alfa Romeo. What do you say? How do you say it? How do you say it? Alfa Romeo. Alfa Romeo. What do you say? An Alfa Romeo. Alfa Romeo.

You're just very pronounced. Right. I thought you were going to come in here all Italian and be like, it's Alfa Romeo. It's an Alfa Romeo. So those are the worst. What else? Volkswagen 27 V-dubs. Okay. I don't want to go through the whole list because there's 30, but we'll do a quick round the worst. What else? Volkswagen 27 V-dubs.

Okay. I don't want to go through the whole list because there's 30, but we'll do a quick round the room. Okay. Let's start with Producer Ben. What are you driving, Producer Ben? It's a Subaru. You've got a Subaru Impreza, don't you?

Yeah, I do, mate. I'd say his car out of all of ours is the least reliable looking. Least reliable looking, but it's number seven on the list. Best car in the world? Subaru, most reliable car in the world. Even better. Have they seen his? Yeah, it's got a mattress in it.

That's how reliable it is. Producer Ellie, let's go with you. What are you driving? Toyota Corolla. Toyota. Great car. Toyota. Yeah.

Number three. Oh, nice. Third most reliable car in the world. I could have told you that. They're great cars. Let's go to me. Obviously, there's a lot of swagger involved in my vehicle. You drive a station wagon.

I drive a swagon. Station swagon. That makes it worse when you call it that. I drive a Honda Accord station wagon. 12. I'm happy with 12. That's pretty good. It's not too bad.

Oh, no. I can see where this is going. Brie, what have you got? I've got a Mitsubishi Lancer. Ooh. Oh, no, I can see where this is going. Brie, what have you got? I've got a Mitsubishi Lancer. Ooh. I know. It says here that commonly associated with a midlife crisis. You're a bit young for a midlife crisis to be driving a Mitsubishi Lancer.

It's a good, reliable vehicle. Yeah, well, not according to this list. Where is it? Did you purchase it before or after you watched Fast and the Furious? Yes. That's so good. It's not an Evo. It is literally the standard.

Oh, we know it's not an Evo. It's a standard run-of-the-mill, bottom-of-the-range. Was that spoiler standard? No, did you get that added? Did you? What about the alloys? Were they standard? I'm just asking for the list.

Again, you drive a station wagon. I know. The Mitsubishi has come in at, oh, number 20. Yeah, it doesn't help who's driving it either. No, exactly right. Interestingly, I guess we should cover off number one, right? So three's a Toyota, two is a Mazda, which I know is the car you actually want, a Mazda. Oh, I want a Mazda 3 so bad.

Jeremy Wells drives a Mazda 3. He does not surprise me. And the number one most reliable car, according to this list... Can I guess? Yeah. Is it a Venute? No, it's a... Why would it be that?

No, it's a Lexus, weirdly. Oh. Yeah. Well, who it be that? No, it's a Lexus, weirdly. Oh. Yeah. Well, who could afford that? Exactly right. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Brie, you would describe yourself as a dog person, wouldn't you? A hundy pea.

Then where's your dog? Well, I didn't want to put it into an environment where I can't give it the best life. So when I end up being in that environment, I'll get a dog. Okay, and that environment is? Somewhere that has a bit of space to run around. Okay, good. That's the right answer. That was a test. Was it? Well done, you passed. This is an interesting

story because up until now to work out dog years you basically multiply it by seven. Is that about right? Yeah, one dog year equals seven human years. Because they don't live as long as humans do, but you can equate their lifespan to a human's lifespan by doing that. And then they also say, like, smaller dogs, you know,

aren't as many human years per dog year versus big dogs. It's a complicated formula, right? Blow it up, it doesn't mean anything. Get rid of it. It's fake news. Is this proven, this information? It's proven by the University of California, if you don't mind them saying. So one university.

Oh, it's a university. Anyway, so if you've got a two-year-old dog at the moment and you think he's 14, this is going to rock your world. Okay. Researchers have just determined that a two-year-old Labrador is more like 40 human years old. That doesn't make

any sense though. So this two-year-old dog that you've got running around that you think is still a puppy, like two years, you probably think he's still quite young. And they still act like a puppy when they're two. Nah, he's middle-aged. He's over the hill. 40. 40. That animal is 40 human years old.

How have they come to this conclusion? They look at DNA changes within the animal and they see how much the DNA strands have aged and then they compare it to the ageing process of a human. But the interesting thing about it is the dog gets old really fast. So by three, they reckon your dog's about 50. So middle-aged.

What, so it slows down? And then after three human years, it's 50 years old for quite a while. Like, for example, a 10-year-old Labrador. So a three-year-old is 50 human years old. Yep. But then a 10-year-old Labrador is about 68 human years old. Right. So they age really fast at the beginning,

and then they just stay old for a while. Like reverse Benjamin Buttons. Right. I guess. It's just weird to me to think that this thing that you think is two years old is actually 40

and is thinking like oh shit I really should start thinking about settling down. Should start getting a mortgage. God is it time to you know is it time to start thinking about

life insurance things like that? Because you know how dogs, they start to get grey hairs on their face. It's so cute. Yes. I wonder how old that starts to happen. No idea. That's not covered off in this research that I've got.

I'm sorry. All I know is two-year-old Labradors are actually 40 human years old. Ten-year-old Labradors are 68 human years old. And an eight-week-old puppy is the equivalent of a 9 month baby So that one's kind of similar I guess I'm just going to stick to one human year is 7 dog years No it's wrong Wait

No it's wrong It's around the wrong way It's wrong Half your age plus 7 No but I can do it on a calculator so it's easier This next story I guess is aviation news But it also should serve As a warning

To anybody Who thinks that You can have a bit of fun In airports Because as we know You cannot I've seen this story And I don't think

And I would hope No one listening Would be this dumb A man by the name of Rajan Mabubani Has been arrested For posing as a pilot

To skip airport queues and get free flight upgrades. Right. Obviously, what's his first name? Rajan. Rajan has watched the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, Catch Me If You Can. Right. And he's taken inspiration. Boarding a near Asia flight, the staff were tipped off to him because they'd started to see a bit of a trail of this thing happening.

Yes. And they took him aside, and they found out that he has since admitted to doing this on at least 15 occasions. He's impersonated a flight, and every time has ended up with preferential treatment. So, I mean, if he'd stopped there, life hack. He's absolutely... But no, he's gotten greedy.

But no, he's kept going. When they arrested him, they also found in his luggage a fake army colonel's uniform. What was he going to use that for? I don't know. Get into a war zone? That's bizarre. By all accounts, he hasn't been doing anything sinister so the issue here is that hijacking planes that sort of thing he's just been doing it for upgrades he's an indian businessman and he's just been trying to one get on the plane

faster and two make his commute more enjoyable i guess yeah because they go oh you're a pilot we'll we'll upgrade you. He would have been really caught out if they needed a pilot in an emergency. Well, yeah, imagine if the pilots fall sick on the plane and they're like, Sir, you're obviously a pilot. Can you help us land this plane? And he's like, so about that. Thank you for the upgrade.

Appreciate the upgrade. Appreciate the upgrades. It's been really lovely. I actually have no idea about anything to do with planes. I sell cell phones for a living, and I just wanted the free hotel. But I'll give it a go. I'll give it a go. The guy's brazen. Rajan, since being arrested, they've also found he's uploaded multiple videos to TikTok

of him and his different outfits. So he's running a full social media system on this. He's loving it. He's TikTok-ing his way through the airport. He is the least. Why would he be trying to get away with something like that, but then he uploads it to TikTok? I think it's that thing.

The first time, terrifying. The second time, slightly less terrifying. Third time, I'm onto something here. By the 10th time, you'd think you something here. By the tenth time, you'd think you're bulletproof, right? Yeah, you've gotten so much confidence that... And that's when you start the TikTok account. That's when your confidence really starts speaking. You start getting that fire TikTok

content out there. Is he going to jail? So, reportedly Mabubani remains in custody and faces charges that could see him sentenced to up to a year in prison. Right. Doesn't seem like that much.

Do you reckon he'll pose as an officer to get upgrades in prison? Zedding, Spree and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up. Redeem points for rewards. Easy.
