Hello everybody, and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. I have a question for everyone in the room, slash the two rooms. Are we doing a Christmas edition get-together with the team, slash special edition of the podcast, adults only, slash have a few drinks and record some stuff? Yeah, I have been doing a lot of research on that. That's weird that you did bring that up. I was going to talk to you guys about that off. Yeah, weird. I talked to you about it, so yeah.

Yeah, you did. So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me get the gist of the event. I was thinking we like would go to someone's house and we have like a big dinner and then we exchange gifts and then we do like a cool one-time only Christmas podcast edition or something. Oh, okay.

Where we record from home. And we only bring Christmas content to the show? No, no, I don't agree with just only Christmas content. I agree with I think it's a time where especially everyone that's in the podcast group can suggest maybe something that they want to hear in the podcast or maybe an idea that they've had and we can do maybe some idea that they've had. And we can do maybe some of that.

Is someone reversing? Yes. Sorry. So this has been driving Ben and I insane all afternoon. The whole show. Listen to this. It's a forklift. Oh.

There's a forklift out there? He's been working all day in our kitchen. I thought I was going crazy. No, you're not. It's been weird. That sounds fun, that idea. Yeah. Because Bree for a long time has wanted to do a drunk podcast as well, right?

Is this that? Well, I don't want to get super out of control, but I have wanted to do a podcast, and I had the idea. It wouldn't just be let's get wild and record a podcast, but I wanted to do a thing where we answer a bunch of questions sober, which I think it would be good to do now, and then maybe in six weeks, just before we go on holidays,

we have quite a few drinks and we answer the same questions when we're slightly intoxicated. What kind of questions? I don't know. What are the themes of the questions? Could be questions About life Or questions Oh yeah

Well who knows It just would be interesting To hear the differences Yeah I'm up for this I'm up for this idea I don't know I'm open to any ideas

The last day of the year Is off limits for me I've got to do an Ironman The next day So That's good timing for you What which is the last You mean like So the Friday The 13th When we finish I've got to do an Ironman the next day. Which is the last? So the Friday,

when we finish, I've got to drive to Rotorua and do an Ironman. That's a bad omen. I've got to have some Nutri-Grain. Well, the Ironman's on the 14th, so that's all good. I'm all good there. Where's what? What were you going to say? What?

I wasn't going to say anything. Yes, is the short answer. Yeah, well, let's do it. What were you going to say? What? Huh? Huh? What were you going to say? I wasn't going to say anything. I don't know. Yes, is the short answer. Yeah. Yeah, well, let's do it. There's a few things behind the scenes I would have to cross our T's and stuff to sort before we publish that kind of podcast.

Are you allowed to be drunk on a podcast? Not if it goes... Oh, you want some insight? Not if it goes to our ZM website. So I have to work out a way to bypass that to put it on iTunes. Right. Sorry, are you allowed to be drunk responsibly on the podcast?

He's got to say responsibly when he says that. I'll make it happen. For you, Brie, I'll make it happen. Like, we're not going to be out of control, but, like, having a few drinks, just to see if your perspective changes on things. Okay. We'll work on that.

That sounds fun. What about the laughing gas idea? Yeah, we can do that. No, I thought that was a big no. Oh, yeah, no. She was a big no. Yeah, that's right. I like the laughing gas idea.

Yeah, me too. I reckon that'd be fun. I had my chance at laughing gas when Lucy was giving birth. They bought it out because she needed some pain relief. They bought her laughing gas before they offered her the epidural which I thought was weird. Like she was going to laugh her way through the birth. Is that how they usually do it? I don't know. But the epidural, if you're listening

to this show about to have a baby, get the epidural man. It's fantastic. I'm not someone who's like, you know, I just want the epidural. Yeah, yeah. Straight away. Yeah. At the right time. We were told all this stuff like it's oh have a know, I just want the epidural. Yeah, yeah. Straight away. Yeah. At the right time. Oh, we were told all this stuff like,

oh, have a natural, do the thing. Give me the epidural. And so you go, yeah, I want that. But I think they talk up how easy it is when it's not. The laughing gas came out and they offered it to Lucy and I was like, oh, I've heard about this. I can have a huff on the laughing gas too. This is my chance.

I've never tried this stuff. Anyway, Lucy took one puff and she goes, yuck, that makes me feel sick. Take it away. And I couldn't go. Good one, Lucy. You're ruining the fun for everyone else. Concentrate on pushing that thing at your vagina.

And I couldn't be like, oh, could you leave it around for a bit? It didn't really seem appropriate. Is it like a tank? Yeah, it's a tank with a hose coming off it. Anyone listening right now, if you have something that you want us to talk about on the podcast or if you have an idea, you can message us on the –

I hate the name of the podcast group. What's the name of the group? You've got to say it. If you know, the Bree Thomasel loves the Big Bang Theory fan page, Bazinga or some crap. That's whatever. Not quite it. Put your suggestions in there.

On your personal social media, can you put a swipe up to the page, please, so people can find it? Because you've got the biggest Instagram account. When you change the name of it, yes, I will. I'm not going to lead people that follow me to a page that talks absolute bull. Renaming of the page, the ball is in your court. Literally, we've told you. I gave you the options.

Either Clint has drunk horse semen or Clint has super tiny nipples. Yeah, you need to decide which one it is. Both are true and I don't know why I confirmed that. You confirm it every time. Well, I don't lie. Kiwi men don't lie.

Before, let's not get sidetracked. I have an idea that I'd like to do on that Christmas podcast. Am I needed to write this down? I suppose I'm recording it. Yeah, probably. And it's probably going to take some organising for you guys. Sorry. And I don't know if you're going to be able to get it here in New Zealand.

I'll get it, mate. But I heard... So, you know helium? Yeah. You know how, obviously, if you suck helium, everyone's bloody done it. It makes your voice go high. Yeah. Only if you swallow.

I got wind of this other type of gas. I don't know what it's called, but I know it exists. Not helpful. That if you suck this other gas in, your voice drops. Yeah, I've heard that too. And you have real deep. So the reason that helium makes your voice go higher is because helium is lighter than air. This other gas is heavier than air.

So it reduces. It makes your voice go lower. I watched a video of these people doing it and it's like a devil possesses them. It is so weird. We could do that on the show actually as well. Yeah, I'm up for that as well. Also, I mean...

Be like our Santa voice. Do you guys have any ideas that you'd like to... For the Christmas thing? Yeah, you guys think about it. I also have one other idea. I will do some fire breathing at the Christmas event. Why is that Christmassy? None of your ideas are Christmassy.

So dangerous. The podcast doesn't have to be Christmassy. I think it should only be Christmassy. No, boring. Everything's Christmassy if you do it in a Santa hat. True, I'm going to wear a Santa hat the whole time. Fire-breathing Santa. Okay, these are great ideas.

Now that's a TikTok. Look, this has been a great brainstorm, everybody. Thank you for all your ideas. We appreciate it. Thank you for the spread. The sandwiches were delicious. Tell them about the Birthday banger thing on Friday

Oh Friday we're doing A special podcast Birthday banger So it's just for podcast listeners Mainly if you're overseas And you can't call the station But for anybody You can't get through

Now let me see you. Zams, Brie and Clint. Oh, baby, good afternoon. What a day. Is it beautiful everywhere today? I hope so. I hope it is as glorious as it is here today. You should check that before you bring everyone else down.

What if it's terrible in Christchurch? I know. And this is what they say with this radio show too. We're meant to pretend that we're... Everywhere. We're everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The jig show too. We're meant to pretend that we're... Everywhere. We're everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The jig is up.

We're in Auckland. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yep. No. Look. No. The Sky Tower. We're in a microlight

and we are doing laps of the country throughout this radio show. So look above you at some stage. Quick, say something local for Wellington. Oh, how's the beehive?

I know. Do you see the wind and how it was hitting the trees on the beehive earlier? Good show coming up for you today. We're going to play the Insta Fame Game. Do we win anything in the Insta Fame Game? Or no, that's just me and you? We could add some people in. Should we add some prizes into it today?

Yeah, let's add some people in. All right, we'll add some fun to the Insta Fame Game. Oh, just looking at the rest of the country. See, I told you it's raining in the South Island. Some people not having that good a forecast today for Guy Fawkes. Shout out to our listeners in Greymouth. No fireworks for you. When is it not raining in Greymouth?

Come on. I was going to say, yeah, producer Ellie and I went there last year and it rained the whole time. Yeah, you went to Gloria Vale, right? No, we went to Greymouth. I was dressed as someone from Gloria Vale. Yeah. Haven't heard much out of Gloria Vale for a bit.

It's been real radio silence stuff coming out of that place, isn't it? Well, there was meant to be another doco made there and then it got turned into a really tiny three minute mini series. They are throwing Rhythm and Glory available though this New Year's. That's going to be

a great time. Is that an actual thing? No, but it should be. Oh, can you imagine? Who would they get? From Rhythm and Glory available? Creed.

Creed would be good. Creed would be a good one. Evermore? Who was that guy? Daughtry? They could get Daughtry in there. Da. Evermore? Who was that guy? Daughtry? They could get Daughtry in there. Daughtry, the bald guy. Yeah, Chris Daughtry from Daughtry.

He was a great looking bald man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next on the show, a radical new invention coming out of Canterbury that is going to revolutionise one of life's greatest pain in the bums, the voicemail. A Kiwi invention that could take the pain of checking your voicemail away forever. How about just not have one?

Yeah, how about just not have one? How about just text me, you know? How about just text me? You can actually text people now. If you are a voicemail leaver though, or a loathed voicemail checker, this could be good news for you. Can the producers get my mum on the phone? Because she needs to hear this. Is she a voicemail checker, this could be good news for you. Can the producers get my mum on the phone because she needs to hear this.

Is she a voicemail leaver? Oh, she loves it. It's Khalid and Disclosure, it's talk. Bree and Clint, ZM. ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. Voicemails, the absolute bane of most people's life. You know when you get that text and it says, you have a new voicemail. And you're like, who is leaving me a voicemail

still? I'm more likely to, if I say I missed your call and you left me a voicemail, just call you back and go what did you say? Just to avoid the punish. The punishment of listening to that spaced out speech. And also, I don't know what my pin is. New message

from 0217565324445. May have solved voicemail pain forever. They've invented something called VXT or V-X-T, like voice text. And so say you ring me. Yes. And you get my voicemail and it says, don't leave a message. Send me a text like a normal human being.

Beep. And then for whatever reason, you still decide to leave a message. Whatever you say, this new app that they've created will translate that into a text message and just send me a text of what your voicemail said so I don't have to go and listen to it.

I have to say, I believe this has already been a thing. I don't know if they invented it. Really? Well, in Australia, certain carriers had that available for the last, oh, ages. Voicemail to text message. And I remember it because it would always be something like you'd call up and be like, please leave a message, and it will be translated into a text. And it always told you.

And the reason why I remember that is because they would never get it right. Oh, because they can't translate it properly? No, especially the Aussie accent. So it would translate it. It could make for some very awkward situations too. Well, yeah, and people used to get obviously the wrong message. If you don't go and check the actual message and you just get offended

by what you think this thing is translated. Look, that's fine. I still don't know why it can't just be, you know when I send you a voice message through Facebook? Yes. Why can't it just pop up on my phone like that and I just click it and listen to it

when I want to? That exists as well. What? Obviously. Why don't we have it? Obviously. Why don't we have it? Why are we still in the voicemail dark ages?

And I think because I was saying to you earlier, I think certain obviously phone carriers obviously buy into certain things available. So then, you know, maybe, you know, Spark will pay for a certain service. Right. And then that's something you get when you sign up to Spark and then maybe, you know, another company will sign up

and have a different feature for voicemail. Well, it's a great opportunity for someone out there to really dominate the voicemail market. Or we could just agree, everybody listening now, we could all take an oath and say, I vow, actually repeat after me, I vow to never leave another voicemail ever again. Oh, it doesn't matter. I wasn't already.

Should we check my voicemail just to go out on this? Yeah, we can have a look at yours. I mean, we've got, how much time do we have? We've got, Cal, 45 seconds kind of thing. Okay, perfect. It shouldn't take long. All right. It shouldn't take long to check.

You heard it. You have nine new messages. Oh, this could go bad. First new voice message received 2nd October at 1.18pm. It's a month ago. It's a month ago. Hey, Rana, it's Mum and Dad. We're in Bali. We just saw you try to ring us.

We're just here in the hotel. Repeat offenders. If you want to give us a ring, you can ring us now, mate. No problem. Okay. Love you. See you. Oh, cute.

So that was pointless? Yeah, they've left you a voicemail to say, we're ringing you. Could have texted me. Why don't you ring us back? You call us back. Nothing is needed. You'll see that you have a missed call.

And I will call them back. And then you'll return it. Okay, we'll check another one. Maybe there's something else that's... There might be something important in here. Yeah, could be something important. Next new voice message received 9th October at 1.19pm.

Oh yeah, butt dial. To call back the caller, press hash. To replay the message, No! Where's the delete button? Stop leaving voicemail. Delete my voicemail.

Don't make a sound. Bree and Clint, the podcast. Sit in. This might be a bit of a shock to some people listening, but over the past decade, Clint, we've seen millennials kill off a certain amount of things. Mm-hmm. I've taken the liberty of writing a few of the things down

that I think have bitten the dust due to... Because of millennials. Due to millennials. Right, what have we killed? Plastic straws. That's a good one. Yes. Mm-hmm.

Homeowners' associations. Yeah, not many of those in our generation. No one is buying homes in the millennials, or not as many. Yeah. Breakfast cereals are on the decline. Are they really? Yes. We're just like a Bircher Muesli.

Yes. Well, they're saying it's due to millennials. A lot of them, a lot of us, sorry, we are millennials, not eating breakfast cereal. Oh, because we intermittently fast. Exactly. We're on a 16-8 program, baby. Get those gains.

So also intertwined into that one is breakfast in general. Biting the dust. Nine to five jobs. Bar soap. The list goes on and on. Biting the dust. Nine to five jobs. Bar soap. The list goes on and on. Bar soap? Yes. So they're seeing a massive decline in bar soap

because us millennials think it is gross and covered in germs, which I would have to agree. I disagree. No. How? I'm for the resurgence of bar soap, baby. It's good. No, it's filthy.

It doesn't come in plastic packaging. And if it's yours, if it's your bar of soap, what do you care? You just rub it on your own body. It's filth, I would have to say. You think bar soap is filth? It's filth. You know the trick to bar soap? This wasn't meant, this breaks up with me about bar soap. No. And I only learned this trick in later life. We should do this tomorrow.

Do you want to keep this for tomorrow? Just a real quick one. You know how the bar soap gets puby? That's the problem. You know how the bath soap gets puby? That's the problem. Well. Because you get it. So the thing gross about bath soap is that with, you know, squirty soap, you put some in your hands and I wash my pits.

Yeah, yeah. And then I put some in my hands and I wash my bits. Yeah, yeah. Bath soap, guess what? It goes over the same areas. This is what I learned about bath soap. And it took me until this age to learn it. You're meant to rub it in your hands, so the soap goes on your hands,

and then you put the bar soap back on the shelf, and then you rub your body with your hands the same way you do with liquid soap. You're not meant to rub the bar on your body. Yeah, I knew that. It's still gross, though. Okay. And then it gets all, like, soft and mushy

in the bottom of the shower. Well, you're anti-bar soap, I'm pro-bar soap. Yeah, so we're dividing the millennials. Don't come for a shower at my house. Something else that us millennials are killing off is the humble doorbell. Yeah, there's statistics saying that there's been a 600% decrease in doorbell sales over the last five years. Who's doing this research?

I mean, doorbell spokesman? The world's leading doorbell company? No, well, it's actually the person who said that was the spokesman for Doorbells International. Oh, well, there you go. Apparently, according to their findings, 99.8% of millennials would prefer to send a text message from the sidewalk saying,

I'm here, rather than approaching the door. It's true. It's because we hate engaging in conversation. It's the same problem we just talked about with voicemails. We avoid it at all possible chances. That's why we like texting and DMing and all that stuff. But like, when you really think about it, unless you're going over to that person's house, why would you get out of the car and ring the doorbell? It's also not our fault that we don't use doorbells. I think it's the generation above us, the baby boomers fault for not maintaining their doorbells well enough.

When I see someone who's got a doorbell, I just assume it's not going to work. I'm going to go, there's an old doorbell. They're all broken. They're all broken. They're not hooked up. I'm pretty sure if I ring that, it won't work. You know what was great, and this is why I love an older house,

they have those ones where you turn them and it's the old school. Brrring. Brrring. Yeah, those are good too. They're good. You know what I'm looking at because I'm all about the technologies. I'm looking at getting what's called a smart doorbell. And what it is is it's a little button and you just stick it to the front of your house.

You don't have to wire it in or anything. And when you push it, I get a notification to my phone to say that you're there and I can open that notification and a camera is looking straight at you. So it's like a peephole and I can see you on the doorbell.

And I don't even have to be home. I can be at work. I could be in San Diego. Doesn't matter where I am. That was a random place. I'm just trying to pick someone far away. And I can push at home. I can be at work. I could be in San Diego. Doesn't matter where I am. That was a random place. I'm just trying to pick someone far away. San Diego? And I can push something on my phone and I can go,

oh yeah, g'day Bree. Sorry, I'm not home at the moment. And you'll go, where are you? And I'll go, oh, I'm in San Diego. But I can see you on the smart doorbell. Just, just, just, I'll say, I'll just leave the package at the door because in this role play you're a courier driver.

Right. Or if you're my friend, I can then use my smart door lock and use my phone. I can unlock the door because in this role play you're a courier driver. Right. Or if you're my friend, I can then use my smart door lock and use my phone and I can unlock the door. I'm like, let yourself in,

make yourself at home. I'll be back in 14 hours. That's the shortest flight direct from San Diego. Awesome, eh? It's so crazy because you hear about the stories

of when people have children and how they just automatically become uncool but I'm seeing it. Oh, piss off. Massive, massive day in Aussie today. It's the race that stops the nation. It's the Melbourne Cup.

And, I mean, I was here in New Zealand last year and quite a few people do sit down to watch the race, which airs, I think, at 5pm New Zealand time. It's a fairly big deal. Lots of office sweepstakes going around. Yes, yeah. A reason to go out and have a bit of a boozy lunch. Yeah, and don't come back.

On a work day, you know, which is, I mean, you know, a fun thing. But I was actually looking up previous celebrities that have made it to the Melbourne Cup over the years, which I don't know if you'll be surprised by some, but obviously it was, you know, everyone was talking about Taylor Swift, who was booked to be at this Melbourne Cup. She pulled out and she didn't say why she pulled out. She said it was scheduled conflict. Everyone's pretty sure it's because of the racing backlash that's happening. Yes.

And she had a lot of fans that... Don't support animal cruelty and horse racing and stuff like that. So she had a lot of backlash so she had to pull out. But these are some of the celebrities that have made it to the Melbourne Cup over the last however many years. Paris and

Nikki Hilton. Oh, what a get. In 2003. I thought it was Simple Life, but it was Nikki, that was Paris. That was Paris and... Nicole Richie. Nicole Richie, yeah. She ended up hooking up with the guy who was on Australian Idol at the time, Rob Mills.

Guy Sebastian. Oh, no, not Guy Sebastian. Anyway, so yeah, they made it there in 2003. Snoop Doggy Dogg. Has he been to a Melbourne Cup? He's been to a Melbourne Cup in 2008. I know the laws were different in 2008, but if Snoop Dogg wants to roll up the gunja at the Melbourne Cup,

do you tell him he can't, or do you just give him his own area and let him go wild? You know, Snoop Dogg. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard, isn't it? Oh, this one I was really excited about. SJP 2011. Sarah Jessica Parker.

Yes. Yeah, fantastic. And she looked incredible. Misha Barton made an appearance in 2012. Where'd Misha Barton go? Well, she was living in the same apartment building as our... Dean McCarthy. As Dean McCarthy, Hollywood reporter.

Didn't she back the moving truck into the side of the building? She did, yes. Right. Gigi Hadid. She's been to a Melbourne Cup. 2014, she was there, made an appearance. These are some of the ones that they don't talk about as much. Tommy Lee, 2009.

Yeah. Motley Crue. Motley Crue. Pamela Anderson's ex. Yes, yes. Enrique Iglesias, who wore a cap and a T-shirt. To the Melbourne Cup. To the Melbourne Cup.

Oh, yeah, okay. Who else? Paris Jackson pulled out of some of her things that she was meant to do at the Melbourne Cup one year. Paris Jackson as in Michael Jackson's daughter? Yes. Why is she doing celebrity appearances? Well, she was, and she still is, I think.

Scott Disick went last year, so obviously the celebrities, you know, the calibre's dropping a little bit. But this one, and this is true, you-know-who went to the Melbourne Cup back in 1985. Oh, it's a drumroll situation. It's big. Princess Diana. Did she?

That is so cool. And Charles was there too, but. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I think we all accept the fact that, I think we're all ready to admit, we work too much, right? Do we work too much? Yeah.

Not many people in our generation have a good work-life balance going on. Are you saying we work too much? I was trying to angle away from us personally. Should I go home early? It's hard for us to say we work too much because we're only on for four hours a day. Well, we get here four hours before that though, so we technically work about

an eight hour day. We get here max three hours before. Hold on. Oh yeah, about three. Anyway, there are big movements happening worldwide to move towards a four day working week. Since the industrial revolution, I believe it is, we've done 40-hour weeks spaced over five days. And now people are looking at that and going, is that the best way to get the best out of our employees? A big company, one of the world's biggest companies, Microsoft Japan, has just rolled out a four-day working week over there. And there have been some surprising benefits.

So listen up if you want to put to your boss that you'd be better off only working four days. So for five weeks in a row, Microsoft Japan gave all of its employees Fridays off. They said don't come in on Fridays. No, Fridays are the best. They should get Mondays off. I agree, actually. Don't you reckon? Fridays have got a good vibe about them.

Yeah. But hang on, does Friday have a better vibe if you're at home? Like, that's what we don't realise. No, because Friday automatically has a better vibe. Monday's the draggy one. Okay, all right, I'm with you. Yeah, we could do that. That doesn't really matter. No, because Friday automatically has a better vibe. Monday's the draggy one. Okay, all right, I'm with you. Yeah, we could do that. That doesn't really matter.

They did Friday, though. They did Friday. Once they did it, they found an increase in sales per employee of 40%. 40% is a lot. Compared to the month previous. The number of pages printed in the office, this is a weird stat to measure, but the number of pages printed in the office, this is a weird stat to measure, but the number of pages printed in the office fell by 59%.

What does that mean? I don't really know. I mean, there's a whole day missing, so they can't do any printing. Less mistakes? Less mistakes. What did they go? But that means, obviously, if you're working one less day,

because we've always said this, if you're working one less day, that means you need to add on more hours to the four days that you're there. No, not true. So that's where people get it confused. They go, oh, do I really want to do 10 hours a day for four days a week to achieve it? No.

You work your normal hours, but you're just expected. How does that work? So this is how it works. You're expected to get the same amount of work done that you would do in five days, get it done in four days, and then you can have three days off. So they're incentivising you with a day off to work harder on the days that you are there. So you still do 8 to 5.30 or whatever it is.

But if you don't get all that work done, then you'll be there late. Exactly right. So that's how it would work. Exactly right. So you put your head down, you don't take as many lunch breaks kind of thing, and you hammer it out. So I guess if it would work. Exactly right. So you put your head down, you don't take as many lunch breaks kind of thing, and you hammer it out.

So I guess if you can actually measure the amount of work, depends on what workplace it is, right? So say if it's at a factory and they can measure the exact amount of work you're doing, then I think this would work. If you're a doctor, if you're a surgeon, you can't really say, I'm going to do all of my emergency heart bypass surgeries in record time

between Monday and Thursday just don't just don't have any cardiac arrest situations Friday to Sunday because I'm doing I'm doing a four day week I'm going to deliver this baby

extra fast so I can have Fridays off you've got you've got a very good point there. A four-day week is not ideal for everybody. Because one of my mates, Nick, he used to work for a company. This sounded so good. He used to work for a company that used to do this four days,

but they would actually have to work longer hours. So I think it was about 10-hour days for four days. They would all get – I'm pretty sure it was Mondays off. And then if everyone obviously, you know, played by the rules and worked really hard, they'd take them on an overseas trip every year. Oh, that's a good option too. Every employee. Yeah, that sounds nice.

Yeah. Imagine going to like on a holiday with like Ben and Ellie. Oh, wait, we did that. No, we do that. This is the problem comparing it to our job. Got to be very careful with this kind of thing. Anyway, there's the information out there. Do with it what you will, employers and employees of New Zealand.

No one turns up on Friday. It's your fault, Clint. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. A story that is doing the rounds in the tabloids this morning is about a Kiwi woman originally from New Zealand. This was a 45-year-old woman who is making headlines today after she survived three days at sea in a rubber dinghy. Ugh.

She drifted more than 160 kilometres over the three days and she was rescued. God, you'd write yourself off, wouldn't you? I mean... This is how I go. Can you imagine three days past? You'd think you were going to die. Have you read Life of Pi?

Sorry, let me reword that. Have you seen the movie made on the book called Life of Pi? There's no such thing as the book Life of Pi. I've seen the movie, yes. You've seen the movie? Yes. That's how I imagine the situation. Life of Pi, not a true story.

No, I know it's not a true story. But that's what I would relate it to. So do you want to know how she ended up in the debacle? Yeah. It's quite interesting actually. It probably reminds me of something that I would probably do. So she and her husband, they anchored off this Greek island and she decided to jump in this rubber dinghy and make her way to shore

because she needed food supplies. Oh, yeah. Anyway, she got the food supplies. She got there. That was all good. When she got back into the dinghy, she called her husband and said, hey, I'm on my way back and she never made it. Anyway, I just like thinking about that there, right?

Obviously, she's been lost for three days. She would have had all the food supplies. Yeah, you'd think you're lucky stars. You'd hope that you'd picked up some water or champagne. Or either or. I mean, champagne would be a good time if she's stuck. I mean, and if you're going out, if you're like, well, this is how I go. Exactly right.

Doing the thing that she loved. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look. Six vessels, a Navy helicopter and the Coast Guard patrolled around the area and finally found her. She's just lucky her husband was on the boat to raise the alarm. Well, yeah. If they'd both been in the dinghy, well, I guess she could still ring, right? What do you? Yeah, she would have had her phone. Yeah. Couldn't she just

ring the Navy boys and be like, hey guys, I'm lost. And they go, have you got your iPhone on you? They go, yeah. They go, drop a pin. And send it. Although if you drop a pin, you're still moving, right? You're not fixed. You're constantly moving. You're constantly drifting. So they're constantly trying to chase the pin.

Look, I don't know how sea rescue works. I'm just glad she's okay. I assume she was rescued? Yeah, she was rescued. She was dehydrated, but she was okay. That'll be all the champagne. Well, yeah, exactly right. But, oh, my God, three days at sea.

That is... You'd have some chapped lips. God, you would. Very chapped lips. Terrifying as well, which, I mean, there was a story also here that apparently last year another woman who was 46 survived 10 hours adrift in the sea as well when she plunged 23 metres from the cruise ship she was on.

So she wasn't even on a boat. Fell off a cruise ship. What the hell? They don't turn around those cruise ships. No, they keep going. They have to. Well, they don't have to. No, well, I think that they could throw off a boat or something.

But they could turn around. But by the time they turn around, oh, it's in the Titanic, it takes a long time to turn. Mate, they put out a rescue boat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course they do. But 10 hours? They don't just go, oh, well, not turning around now.

Captain, Deborah's fallen overboard. She knew the rules. Anyway, we wanted to ask you guys, and this might be a bit of a needle in a haystack, and I think this story about this New Zealand woman is pretty incredible, story of survival. And we want to know your stories of survival. Has something happened to you

where, you know... You shouldn't have made it. Yeah. Like, you probably shouldn't be here but, you know, you've made it and it's a story of survival that, you know, is just incredible. Yeah. They're the stories we want this afternoon. We'll see what we get. If you've got an incredible story of human

survival, 0800 dial ZM. Yes. Call us now or you can text us on 9696. It can be someone you know, someone in your family, if you want to share their story with us as well. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Incredible story of survival out in the media today about a Kiwi woman over in the Greek islands

who was on a rubber dinghy and she went to get some supplies because she was on a yacht and she paddled out, made it to shore, got the supplies, but when she tried to make it back to the yacht, the wind took her and she was at sea for three days in this rubber dinghy. Yeah.

And they finally rescued her. It's incredible. When would you have given up hope in the dinghy? I think by the time nightfall. Second night for me. Yeah, nightfall on the second night. Yeah. Yeah. I'd be struggling.

So we're looking for your incredible stories of human survival this afternoon. And there's some good ones coming through. Yeah, there's some really great ones. Like this one is incredible. They said, I once stepped out thinking I was at the bottom of some stairs, but nope, I was mistaken. There was one left and I got a pretty badly sprained ankle, but my life flashed before my eyes.

Oh, it does, doesn't it? As you're falling, you feel like you're falling through the ground. Oh, that's happened to me before. We're glad that you're still here. Thank you for the message. Kia ora, Christine. Welcome to the show. Hey, Clint.

Hi, Christine. I'm here too. Hi, Brie. Christine, tell us your story of survival. My girlfriend and I were in a high-speed head-on crash in our car and it just happened outside

the house of an off-duty ambulance officer and his neighbour down the road was an off-duty trauma nurse and they actually saved our lives. Oh, my gosh. That's incredible. So can you actually tell us what exactly they had to do?

Well, the trauma nurse recognised that my girlfriend had broken her neck so she literally sat there with her hands around her neck holding at a mobile so she wouldn't move. Yeah. And the ambulance officer gave me mouth-to-mouth. Oh, wow. Wow. In the right place, right time for those two people.

Are you religious, Christine? Not particularly, but there was someone on our side that day. Yeah, right. Wasn't your time, Christine, that's for sure. Okay, we're glad you're still here, Christine. Thank you for the call. Charlene, kia ora. Hi, Shaz.

Hi. Tell us, what's your story of survival? Well, when I was at primary school, we had a next-door neighbour and the parents and the auntie and uncle were fighting over a child. So the parent put 14 sticks of gelatinite, which is dynamite, under the bedroom of their house and we got all the fallout. They blew up the house with dynamite? the bedroom of their house and we got all the fallout. They blew up the house with dynamite?

What? Yep. Oh my God. There was a big shard of glass that landed in my brother's pillow. But mister's head? Mister's head. Far out. Did this happen in New Zealand?

What the... That happened in Palmerston North. Wow. Was everybody okay? Yep, everyone was okay. The back of our house, all the glass was smashed. Yeah. Dad got up and thought the kids had been playing and he got glass in his speech.

Bloody hell. Where are you buying dynamite from? Yeah, where do you get dynamite from? I mean, probably shouldn't publicise where you get dynamite from. No, it's not Wiley Coyote. Yeah. Jeez. Thank you, Charlotte. That is an incredible story of survival. And Jana's here. Hi, Jana.

Hi. Tell us, what's your story of survival, Jana? So when I was 18 months old, we were living in an apartment with a concrete courtyard and I was reaching for a balloon hanging near the window, and I fall out, turn around the washing line,

and landing into the hole, which the builder's been digging. And the whole week it's been raining, so I literally landed right into this hole. The concrete was about one centimetre away from my head, and I ended up with two broken legs. You fell out? You had two broken legs. What story was the window that you fell out of?

Second story. That is unbelievable. Yeah. And how old were you, did you say? 18 months old. 18 months old. My mum was at the time nine months pregnant with my brother. Yeah.

And I can now being a mother just thinking of her coming down the stairs trying to, you know, come to me thinking, oh, my God, is she going to be alive? Yeah. That is crazy. You're down there in a hole in the ground. Bloody hell. Yeah.

All right. Lucky the hole was there. Do you live on the ground floor now? Yeah. It's got a house. So no apartments anymore. Yeah, good work. Probably a good idea.

ZDM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. If you subscribe to the Bree and Clint podcast, this is on the podcast where we had this debate yesterday, wasn't it? About Vegemite and Marmite. Yeah, podcaster. Yeah, if you're a podcaster. Hugo, this is on the podcaster. Did I?

Yeah. God, I'm turning into a dad, aren't I? I love it. Bit of a debate about whether Marmite or Vegemite was Kiwi or Australian. Well, it wasn't really that. It was more I said I believe that Marmite is the sweeter out of the two. Which I firmly disagree with. Marmite is definitely sweeter than Vegemite.

Vegemite is saltier. Vegemite is definitely sweeter than Marmite. No way. That's why I like Marmite is definitely sweeter than Vegemite. Vegemite is saltier. Vegemite is definitely sweeter than Marmite. No way. That's why I like Marmite. No. Because I don't want a sweet one on my toast. Marmite is the sweet one. Anyway, we're going to do this as a bit of a trans-Tasman battle.

As we know, Vegemite is the Australian. Marmite is the Kiwi. That's what they say. So today, representing Australia in a Marmite Vegemite taste test To see if we can tell the difference Please welcome the Thunder from Down Under It's Brie Thomasel And that name, the Thunder from Down Under

Actually came from Down Under Yeah, my pants So what's going to happen is we're both going to do this We're going to get a spoon each with a blindfold on And see if we can tell the difference You won't be going this alone though because you'll be taking on the Kiwi.

The Kiwi that can't fly. The Kiwi. It's Clinton Roberts. With the Rotorua Iwi. It's Clinton Roberts. So we'll each whack on a blindfold. Yes. And then Producer Ben has some spoons.

We want to see what it is. It'll be our job to consume the spoon and see if we can correctly guess or not. We're getting the same thing at the same time, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we can do that. Because then we'll have to decide what we think it is. Okay, blindfolds on.

And Producer Ben, you can get the spoons going. Okay. Oh, I need to look at the controls. There we go. Yeah. Are you ready? I'm ready. I'm going to pass you your spoon now. Okay, cool. Clint, and Producer Ben, you can get the spoons going, okay? Oh, I need to look at the controls. There we go. Yeah, are you ready? I'm ready. I'm going to pass you your spoon now, Clint. You put your hand out, and I'll put that in your hand.

Yeah. You pass your hand out. Who's doing the buttons? So I've let go of the buttons now, and Ellie is now running. Marie, put your hands out. I'm going to come over to you now. Okay. Yeah.

Oh. So we each have a spoon, and the challenge here is, can we correctly identify Vegemite from Marmite? Yep. Okay, three, two, one. Oh, it's too much. It's terrible by itself, isn't it? Oh.

Can we taste both and then decide? Yeah, can we taste both and then decide? If you'd like to, yep So that's spoon number one We're agreeing that's spoon number one Got it Now spoon number two Oh, you want to put the spoon still

or do you just want to hold it? No, I want to hold it Just give me the other spoon It's coming, mate Just be patient Where's my food? You're such a diva taste tester Okay, I'm going to taste the second one

Oh, I'm licking the wrong side of the spoon. Okay, I've got it. All right, I know what it is. I absolutely know. Okay, so we know who's correct and who's incorrect. We say it at the same time. So we go three, two, one. Three, two, one. Spoon number one. So I'll say spoon number one was. Okay. I'll say spoon number one was, and then I'll go three, two, one. Three, two, one. Spoon number one. So I'll say spoon number one was. Okay. I'll say spoon number one was, and then I'll go three, two, one. Yep. And then you say what you think it was.

Yep. Hang on, can I have a quick just one more taste? He's just hungry at this point. No, I'm not for this. Yuck. I need some bread. Okay. I'm clear.

Are you clear? I'm clear. Okay. Spoon number one was three, two, one. Marmite. Hey! I knew that because spoon number one was saltier. Wait, what did you say?

Spoon number one was saltier. No, what did he say? I said spoon number one was saltier. You said spoon number two was saltier. It doesn't matter what I said, it matters what I feel. Okay? A hundred percent. You can take the blindfold off now. Well, hang on.

We've got to check this because this is another thing that happens. So spoon number two. I'm going to say what it was. Three, two, one. Vegemite. No, I didn't say yet. Sorry. I didn't say yet.

Hang on. Okay. Spoon number two was three, two, one. Vegemite. Marmite. Oh. Wait, who was right and who was wrong? The second one was a hundred percent Vegemite. Marmite. Oh. Wait, who was right and who was wrong? The second one was 100% Vegemite.

Oh, it was no stitch-up? No, no stitch-up. You asked for a test and I gave you a test. Oh, okay. What are you doing? I think the Aussies won that battle, didn't they? I don't know. You just said both were Marmite.

Can I get some bread? Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Look, we just conducted the world's most scientific inquiry into which one is sweeter, Marmite or Vegemite. I said Marmite is definitely 100% sweeter than Vegemite. And I said that Vegemite tastes sweeter than Marmite. No, you said Vegemite is sweeter in your mouth.

Yeah, I am. In your palate. I am him. You just thought we taste tested both and you thought both were Marmite. We've just realised while Dan and Shay were playing. Thanks, Dan and Shay. You came up with this idea, actually. Why don't we just check the ingredients list

and see how much sugar's in them both. Okay, here we go. Sugar. The amount of sugar in Vegemite per 100 grams. 2.4 grams. It's pretty low in sugar. Pretty low. Well, it is salty, isn't it? Not sweet at all. I think it's quite sweet. Alright, the

amount of sugar in Marmite per 100 grams, 11.2. Marmite is sweeter. I knew it. I mean, it's only four times more sugar than Vegemite. So I think it depends on your palate. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I had a conversation with my mum the other day about the Christmas tree

and what she's doing because they're moving into the new home. Yeah, I love that you're getting into the Christmas spirit. Yeah, no, I'm not. My mum is. Well, it's the same thing, right? It's infectious for the whole family. She loves to get into it early, and she was talking about what she's doing for the Christmas tree this year

because what you don't know about our family is we live in the country. Yeah. And since I was old enough to remember, we would go out on the back of a ute into the forestry, which is government property. Yeah. And we would cut down. You steal a Christmas tree?

And we would steal a Christmas tree. Oh, my God. My dad sometimes would have a chainsaw. Like, the Christmas tree would be so big. Like, the tree would be so big. Like the tree would be so big. He'd have to get a chainsaw to cut this thing. And how would you transport it back to the house? We'd put it back on the ute. Yeah.

And us kids would hold it down on the back. Anyway. Is there, in fairness to your family, was there anywhere in your rural country Australian town where you could have purchased a real Christmas tree if you wanted to? No. No. But you could buy a fake one.

Anyway, the Christmas tree was always too big for the house. They'd have to like shove it in and the top would never fit in. It was ridiculous. But it wasn't until we were older that we realised that it's actually illegal. What you were doing was wrong. You can't do that. No. And I thought, you know, I think it's about time my mum finally came clean on the radio

that she'd been stealing Christmas trees for the last 30 years. Do you think she's ready to admit it? I don't think she's even acknowledged that what she's done is wrong. Yeah, right. Okay, do you think she's still doing it? That's the other thing. Do you think these are historical crimes? Yes.

Or is it something that she's still doing? Well, I guess let's call her in secret and I'll ask both of those questions. Okay. I'll see if I can get her to admit and see if she's doing it this year as well. Okay. I'll keep quiet. Merry Christmas. Yeah, Rana.

How are you going? Good. How's the packing going? Yeah, good. Good. The wind's so bad. They nearly got taken away with the mattress. Hey, well, also, have you thought about where you're going to put the Christmas tree?

No, that'll be up to you guys. Where do you think? I don't know, mate. Probably in the lounge room somewhere. Yeah, it'll be in the corner in the lounge room somewhere. It'll be probably in the corner, you know, where those windows are looking down the east. Yeah, right. Where are you? In that corner. Depends how big it is. Where are you getting the Christmas tree from this year? Well, where we always get it, Brianna, up at the forest

tree. So you're saying you're going to cut one down again? Yeah. So you're saying you're going to illegally cut down a tree again this year? No, I'm not. No, I'm not going to say that. I'm saying that we're going to go up there and there's going to be one lying on the ground up there. The jig is up, woman. We're on to you.

Clint's here. Sergeant Clint is here. No, they're going to come over here. Diane Thomas-El. Take me away. It's Clint Roberts here from the Queensland Forestry Police. We have reason to believe you are a recidivist offender when it comes to grand theft Christmas tree.

How do you plead? No, we don't plead that I'm helping the environment by... Helping the environment? You're doing the exact opposite, woman. No, there's too many of them. Hi, it's Constable Thomas L here from the Christmas tree stolen generation club. Mum, they've had to plant more trees in that forestry because you and Dad have cut down so many over the years. No, the majority of them were on the side of the road. Can I say, if there's one thing the world doesn't have at the moment, it's too many trees.

You've just admitted, you've just admitted, you've committed the crime, that's all we need. See you, Mum. Jesus, Brianna, honestly. Did you steal a car off the side of the road? Yeah, Mum. No, I don't normally take cars. The new Grand Theft Auto game has my mum on it stealing Christmas trees.

She's straddling a big old pine of the Douglas fir. Well, thanks, Mum. Appreciate you being honest today about your previous criminal history. We appreciate your time. No, I'll never take another one again. Bullshit. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM.

Time for 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 Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game. Every week we go head to head guessing how many followers celebrities have on Instagram. Is Dua Lipa going to be part of the game? Who knows?

You can play along in the car. Just yell at the radio. Yell your answers at the radio and see what happens. See if you can beat either me or Clint. So far between the two of us, the results are 19 games to Bree versus 12 to myself. Are you sure I wasn't pulling ahead more than that? Oh, shut up.

Are you sure? I've won a lot of games this year. Clint's been stinking it up. Producer Ellie has the celebs. It's first to three. What have you got, Ellie? All right, your first one. She's quite new to Instagram.

It's Jennifer Aniston. Oh, that's tough. I've been on there. She's been growing, hasn't she? I watched her new Apple TV Plus show last night. Yeah, is it good? The morning show. It's very serious.

Oh. I thought it was going to be like a... Funny one. Like I was expecting a Friends type show. Yeah. I was like, where's the laugh track? All right, for Jennifer Aniston, Brie, you've put $16.8 million. Clint, you've put $16.8 million. Clint, you've put $4.7 million.

Jennifer Aniston has $18.4 million. She had $5 million in the first week. You could have told me that. I put four. It is a competition. Okay, who you got next? All right, your next one, the winners of the Rugby World Cup. It's the Springboks.

Oh. My new team. Your new team. I announced yesterday that I now identify as South African. So, it's my boys. Look at this.

You're obviously not used to losing like us wallabies because you lose one game and you jump ship. I definitely don't identify as a wallaby. All right. Oh, that's hard.

That is hard. It is hard. That is quite hard. All right. Don't read it hard. That is hard. It is hard. That is quite hard. All right. Don't read it out until she's held hers up. She's dragging the chain. She is dragging the chain. All right.

For the Springboks, Clint, you put 400K. Bree, you put 812K. The Springboks have 519K, which is going to Clint. Thank you very much. That's my team. I should know how many they have. You have a fair few off, though. Have you not been on there recently? They've had a surge since they won the Cup. Thank you very much. That's my team. I should know how many they have. You have a fair few off, though. Have you not been on there recently?

They've had a surge since they won the Cup. I see, yes. Everyone jumping on that bandwagon. Not like me, day one. There you go. Your next one, she's just hit the Billboard Top 100 for the first time ever. It's Selena Gomez. She's never been inside the Top 100.

Sorry, number one. Sorry, number one. I said that wrong. Number one. Right. Has she never had a number one? No Sorry, number one. Sorry, number one. I said that wrong. Number one. Right. Has she never had a number one? No. She posted about it this morning, yeah.

All right, for Selena Gomez, Clint. Wait, just wait. You put 130 million. Brie, you put 152 million. Selena Gomez has 160 million. Boom! Shaka Waka. She, at one point, was the most followed person on Instagram.

She was. And then she kind of went silent, eh? All right, your next one. She's deleted her account a bunch of times. But it's back at the moment. Your next one. This might be in your favour, Clint, because Brie doesn't like the main movie she was in.

Emma Watson from Harry Potter. I do love Emma Watson. Yeah, she's great. I was thinking of, who's the one from Easy A? Oh, Emma Stone. I love Emma Stone. Got my Emmas confused. Oh god, Emma Watson. Mmm, Buzzy G. I love her too, she's fantastic.

She's great, eh? She's so pretty. Alright, for Emma Watson, Clint, you've put $14 million. Brie, you've put $17.8 million. Emma Watson has $52 million, which means that's a game to Bree. Yes! Son! Yes, she's into the 20s.

Congratulations. We're all really happy for you. We can cancel the game now. No. No, we can. I can't come back. Well, then let's not play one second song challenge then either. We should have cancelled that weeks ago.

Oh, no, that one's different. That one's different. Weeks ago. Zid M Spree and Clint, the podcast. This is probably more interesting, I'd say. This study is something that I was quite shocked to read the statistics on. But this study is from a woman who calls herself a sex expert. A sexpert.

A sexpert. And she reckons she knows the best gift that you should be getting your other half this Christmas. Okay. She believes. Is this family friendly? Yes. Okay, great, great.

Well, kind of. She believes the best gift you should get your partner for Christmas is a cheat pass. A cheat pass? Otherwise known as a hall pass. Oh. There's a lot of terms for it. Okay.

And this is why. So her name is Wednesday Martin and she believes, yeah, the ultimate present is for you to hand over a hall pass, which pretty much means over Christmas time you can do whatever you want. At Christmas. That's a time for families. And you're out there filling your boots, stuffing your stocking, getting your wraps off. And this is what she's saying.

She reckons, you know know obviously a lot of relationships uh end in affairs um she reckons well studies have been done that say one in five people have had an affair in their life yeah uh which means and then about 33 percent of people who said they haven't have also thought about it though okay um which she's saying that monogamy these days um you know is getting harder and harder because of instagram well just because of a lot of things but it also is interesting in the results of who struggles with monogamy more or she's saying in her opinion and what the results are saying who monogamy more. Or she's saying, in her opinion, and what the results are saying, who monogamy is less suited to.

You mean males or females? Yes. Okay. Which it's females because they get bored more easily with the same partner. That is a shocking result. I would have 100% thought it was men.

Well, people are saying, you know how there's always obviously that people always think that males want that activity more than females. Not true. Females just get bored. This is what this study is saying. So they don't want it with you. Pretty much.

Oh, that's devastating. That's what this study is saying. Great news for men, though, that we're not the cheaters. Turns out we're not the ones doing the cheating. No, well, well actually the results It's mainly men that cheat Oh god damn it men You've let us down again

Women just get bored more easily But we don't cheat But you don't act on it No Okay so a hall pass for Christmas Which she's saying I mean it wouldn't cost me anything If I wanted to give one of those

To my partner for Christmas No it costs you nothing Do you wrap it up? I don't think you wrap it up You could put it on a card Well if I give her a hall pass I don't think you wrap it up. You could put it on a card. Well, if I give her a whole pass, I hope she's going to wrap it up. You could put it on a card. You could put it on a card, yeah.

I probably wouldn't organise. I'm not interested, by the way. It's not something I want. No, but this is something that I think, especially in our generation, or maybe even people, maybe the kids a bit younger than us, Clint, where it's the idea of what a normal relationship and even a normal marriage is, is actually changing and forming into something else, I believe.

Okay. And I want to hear from people on 0800DIALZM, if that's you. Are you in a relationship that goes somewhat against the normal idea of what a relationship is meant to be, which is monogamy? Do you have an open relationship? Do you have things like hall passes for certain times of the year? Yeah. Do you have certain arrangements?

What is it? Did you give your partner a hall pass because you thought it was going to be a great idea and it was a terrible idea? Did you give them a hall pass? You never saw them again. And then it was a good idea and it rekindled your relationship. Yeah, sure. I want to hear from everyone, every type of story.

What's your relationship situation? And we're going to get some of those on next. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Study out today from a sexpert saying that the best thing to give your partner this Christmas might be a hall pass. Controversial.

Yeah, she's saying, you know, super common these days for people to have a wandering eye and to act on that. But if you maybe spice things up with a little bit of this, then it could avoid all that stuff. She's saying it's like a pressure reliever, right? Pretty much, yeah. Like when you're boiling a pot of pasta with the lid on, if you just take the lid off just for a little bit.

Just a little bit. And then you can put it back on. And then you put the lid back on. And it won't spill over. That's what she's saying. So we're asking you to come through. Do you have an unorthodox setup inside your relationship? Is it open? Do you give hall passes for special occasions? What's the situation

in your relationship? Anonymous, you have called through and you are married. Is that correct? Yes, I am. And what's your situation, Anonymous? So my situation is I'm bisexual. Okay. And my husband will let me sleep with any other woman that I want. Ooh. Interesting. But not men? No, not men.

And Anonymous, I have to ask, because obviously you have that deal with your husband that you get to do that. Does he get to do anything or no? No, he's fine with it. Okay, cool. So he's just like, I understand this part of you and this is you as a person. I get that

and I'm willing to give you this option if you want it. Exactly. Can I ask, whose idea was it? Did he come to you and go hey, you should do this or did you go hey, I want to do this? No, it was his idea. Oh, you got a good hubby there. Yeah. Yeah. Very understanding. Sounds like a good guy. If it you got a good hubby there. Yeah. Yeah. Very understanding.

Sounds like a good guy. If it's working for you, well done. That's interesting. The next person also wants to remain anonymous. Hello. Good evening. Good afternoon, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. What was the situation that happened with you in the relationship department? So it wasn't me. It was actually my sister-in-law.

Okay. So her and her partner decided to try an open relationship. So they got one partner each to, I suppose, sleep with. But he ended up having his partner, and then afterwards he changed his mind. So she wasn't allowed to have her partner. That's what you'd worry about. Not cool. Yeah.

No. So he started causing massive distrust between him. She ended uprust between him. She ended up resenting him. She ended up kissing on him with her boyfriend and then yeah

it just caused massive distrust. You can't do that. You can't sign a contract and then when you Alright we're both free for one night and then you get

yours in first and you go rules off games off change of mind. Oh not cool. And Lily's here as well. Hey Lily.

Hi Lily. Hi. What's the situation that happened with you? So me and my boyfriend were together for about a year and we'd both only ever been with each other. And things were just kind of fizzling out. I didn't find, like, he was feeling, finding me very attractive anymore.

So I gave him a hall pass and he ended up cheating on me with I think at the end of the relationship it was about 15 other women. Now just so we're clear about the roles and I'm sure he asked the same question was it a single hall pass or was it like a concession card that you get for the swimming pools? It was a single hall pass and he just couldn't help himself and he continued it for the next four years of the relationship. You just need to realise that you should be single in that situation. There's nothing wrong with... That's not called a hall pass, Anonymous.

No. That's called he's a D-bag. I hate to ask the obvious question, but are you still together? No, we are not together. He's actually engaged now. What's your opinion, now that you've done it, as someone who's actually done this, what's your opinion on hall passes?

I don't. I think it's just too tempting. Yeah. I honestly think maybe even if he gave me a hall pass, it could have been a different situation but I don't think I think if you really love someone they shouldn't be necessary

Did he offer you a hall pass in return when you gave him one? Yeah, did you get one? Oh no, not at all What the hell do you get out of that situation? It's like Christmas but he's the only one who gets given any presents He's the only one It just sounds like he was the only bad thing in that situation to me.

Thank you. Yeah, I'm glad you're out of that situation now. You're better off. Lily, are you single at the moment? Do you want to chuck your Instagram out there? No, I'm all right. Okay, sweet. Just so you can, you know, radio Tinder, baby.

We can get it going. Yeah, interesting. It's obviously for some people and not for others. I think it definitely works for some people. I would be, if the sexologist has recommended giving a hall pass for Christmas, I would definitely feel it out with your partner before you go and give it to them. Yeah. Because if that comes out of the blue and they've never showed any interest in a hall pass whatsoever

and you give them one, it could do more to destabilise the relationship than anything else. I agree. Also, don't go and sit on Santa's knee and say that's what you want. Because he could get the wrong idea. Can you imagine Santa's like, do you mean with me? Don't think you can sit on Santa's knee anymore. Do you think Santa's sexy? What?

I'm just asking. No, it's not my cup of tea. Not your cup of tea? Some people would be into that. What about Mrs. Claus?. No, it's not my cup of tea. Not your cup of tea? Some people would be into that. What about Mrs. Claus? Oh yeah, she's a fox. ZDM's Bree and Clint, the podcast. Time for a birthday banger. It's my birthday.

Bit of fun. They just won their birthday bangers day for Cody. Did I ever tell you about what happened to me with that song? No. I was in this dance club, right, and we'd all prepared that song for our. I was in this dance club, right? And we'd all prepared that song for our big finale. Yeah. And in the dance

club, we only had one guy. So it was pretty easy. He got the role of Danny Zuko. Yeah. Anyway, last minute he pulled out because he was sick or whatever. Did you have to play Danny Zuko? Oh, I had to play Danny bloody Zuko. No, I had to play Danny bloody Zuko.

No, I can see that. And you know why? Yeah. Why can you see that? Because I can see your hair being slicked back. You've got quite a good front crown and I can imagine you slicking your hair into a good Danny Zuko. And they had to spray paint my hair

and like pretty much draw a beard on me. And you know why I got picked? Why? Because I was the tallest. It was bullcrap. Everybody falls into some kind of box. It's like when you and your girls played Spice Girls at school.

You already knew exactly which Spice Girl you were going to be before you went into it. Yeah, you always tried to fight it if you were one of the bad ones, you know? Why am I sporty? I don't want to be scary. You know why you're sporty, Brie. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I did something last

night that I'm not proud of. You took a poo on the neighbour's lawn. No, I didn't take a poo on the neighbour's lawn. I mean, it's bound to happen. You're getting to breaking point these days, aren't you? It does involve me getting to breaking point though, and it does involve me doing something to my neighbour

that was not appreciated. This sounds bad. I know, I know, and it's going to probably sound bad, but, I mean, look, nothing came of it. It's okay. No, we'll be the judge of whether it was bad or not. Just let me say up front that I accept that I was in the wrong. Oh, see, I like how you're trying to soften the blow.

Just tell us what you did and we will discuss accordingly. And you'll tell me what a shit person I am. So up front, I'm going to say at the start of this story, I hate fireworks, okay? I think they're pointless. I think they upset animals. But this is not about my hatred of fireworks, okay? It doesn't matter how I feel about fireworks.

I have cats and we have a new baby and backstory to this, there's not a lot of sleeping going on in our house at the moment. So things are, as you guys know, dealing with me every day, quite highly strung. A nightmare. No, I'm just kidding. You've been fine. No, but

I'm a bit... You're not getting as much sleep. I'm a bit highly strung. There's a lot of stress going on. And that's nobody's fault, except that bloody baby. No, I'm kidding. It's not her fault either. I was sitting there last night, Monday night, and fireworks start going off next door to my house.

Directly next door? No, three houses down. Okay. Okay. And at first I was like, oh, these bloody fireworks. And they kept going and then they kept going. And they were loud and they were booming. And the cats were freaking their shit out.

And I got, I don't know what happened, but I got fired up and I went outside and I went, nah, screw them. I'm going to give them a piece of my mind. And I walked down the street and I said, who's got the fireworks? Were they out on the street? No, they were on their front yard enjoying some home fireworks on their own property. Because that's safe.

It's fine. It's a completely legal thing to do, but I'm not a rational. I'm not, yeah. Is it legal here in New Zealand? That's how fireworks works in New Zealand. You buy your own fireworks, you enjoy them at your house. I don't enjoy it, but it's not illegal. I do wonder about this country, honestly.

Sometimes I'm like, is that all right? And then you guys will be like, yeah, that's all good here. It is all good. It doesn't matter how I feel about it. Is it only for guy folks though? Well, it's a window. You let them off when you want. Okay. Anyway, I came when you want. Okay.

Anyway, I came in very hot. Was it kids? It was a family. Oh, why would you ruin a family's fun time with fireworks? They're probably creating a memory together. Because I'm highly strung. You should know. You've got a kid now.

You should know what it's like. Exactly right. And I said, who's got the fireworks? And they said, oh, it's us. And I came over the fence and I said, and I won't use the words that I used. And like I said at the start of this one. And you still went for more.

I said, it's an effing Monday. What are you thinking? My cats are upset. Baby's trying to sleep. Well, that's a lie. The baby wasn't home. Oh, so you lied. You lied as well.

I went them is the main thing. How old were the kids? They were teenage kids, their kids. And it didn't go down well. Did they fire up back? Yeah, they fired us back. They fired us back. And they said, mate, you should leave because you're not going to like

what's going to happen if you don't get off our property right now. At which point I then got my back up even more. Sparks will fly. And I got even more heated and I said, oh, what are you going to do? Are you going to... Anyway, this thing erupted and then I went back to my house and I wrote five angry

tweets about it and I deleted them all and then I sat there by myself because my truth be told my family I'm gonna sort them I'll show them I'm gonna write a tweet my family's not even home at the moment my wife and daughter have gone away to the beach they're at their um to his grandparents place at the moment it's just me anyway I sat there stewing stewing stewing, stewing, stewing, and I did something and I went, hang on, shall I reflect on how I behaved here for a second?

And I did. And I put myself in their situation and I went, and if some guy showed up at my house screaming at me about the perfectly legal fireworks display that I was letting off, I'd probably fire up as well. I'd probably push back a little bit and tell the guy to go F himself. So I got it from that perspective.

Anyway, this morning I went and apologised to my neighbours and I had to knock on their door and they saw it was me again and they came out and it was a real look of, not this prick again. And they were also like, what a hypocrite. He was letting off his own fireworks from his ears. And I said, look, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have spoken to you the way I did. Because in reality, if I'd gone up to them and I'd said, hey guys, there's a bit of drama going on at my house and no one's enjoying the fireworks. How much longer do you think maybe we could wrap it up sometime soon?

It would have been a completely different conversation. 100% it would be. Than some guy coming in and going, you bastard, why are you letting off fireworks? And you know what? This whole thing has taught me a lesson. Everybody is so triggered about everything at the moment, whether it's fireworks or horse racing.

Certain words that are said on the radio. Politics, anything like that. And all we do is yell at each other. All we do is... Just have a conversation with someone, honestly. I know. No one sits down and actually goes, hey, this is the way I'm feeling. How do you feel about that? No one gives anybody

the chance for that. They just storm onto their neighbor's property and scream at them about fireworks. And how often does that happen and the other people go, yeah, you know what? I really want to help that person out now. No, never. I really want to help them. Never.

Anyway, I talked to them this morning. I apologised. I think we're friends. The lady said to me, look, I'm really good with babies. If your baby's not sleeping, bring her over. I can help you out with the baby. You guys should celebrate the friendship with some fireworks tonight. Oh, shut up.

ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Just a real quick surprise before we get into the six o'clock hour. I don't know if you recall, but I pretty much discovered and brought to you probably one of the best new talents of 2019 on this show. Did you? Yes. What's your talent? No, not me.

I said I discovered him. I said he was the next Ed Sheeran. Is this the fart guy again? Excuse me. He is a fartiste and he released his album earlier this year that had multiple tracks. Why are we talking about this guy again? Because I have breaking news about the Fartiste.

Okay. If you haven't heard, his name is... Sorry, when you say breaking news, that goes off. He released an album earlier this year, which, I mean, was amazing work and it was a bunch of different sounds that he has recorded in his life. One was called Chocolate Milk. One was called Quiet in the Movie Theatre.

It was pretty much an album of him farting. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Well, he's back and I think you're going to be pretty excited with some of the work that he is producing for his next album. And I do mean producing. He sent me exclusively a few bits and pieces. Oh, you two in contact now, are you? Yes, we do keep in touch.

I do rep him, so to speak. He sent me a preview of one of the tracks that will be included in, I'm going to say, his second album, otherwise known as number two. Listen to this exclusive clip of the Fartiste, one of the tracks that will be included on album two. See, and that's why he's the best at what he does. Why? What was good about that? Because he takes something and he makes it different.

What's he made different? It's a unique sound where he's made, you know, maybe what you'd hear as a dry sound. He's made it and turned it into something. Yeah, but does it have a name like chocolate milk or anything? Like is it? Yeah, I does it have a name like chocolate milk or anything? Yeah, I think that one's called diarrhea. This is my favourite though. I mean, that's

just a little snippet, but this is my favourite and it's only a very short clip, which I'm hoping to get the rest of it by the end of the week. He messaged me and he said, and this is serious, he messaged me and he said, look, I want to do something for you guys on the Brian Clint Show. I know you guys released your own track,

which was called Send It, the Hot Mess Express. Great song. Great song. No farts made in that song whatsoever. Which I think is what it lacked. And the fartist, this is an exclusive clip of him doing a remix of the Hot Mess Express's Send It. Have I pushed the wrong one?

Yeah, I think so. That's just the normal track. Here's his remix. I'm excited. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. You've got tattoos, right, Brie? You've got a couple of tattoos.

Yes, I do. You've got the Taylor Swift tattoo on your ankle. The number 13. It's not for her. You've got the logo of the New South Wales rugby union team. Shut up. The Waratah. I'm sick of your crap this afternoon.

And you've got live, laugh, love tattooed down your inner thigh. No, I do not. Tell everyone about your belly button tattoo. I've got one around my belly button that says Thug Life. Be arch. No, you've got a cat and it's the back of a cat so it looks like a cat's bum hole. No, I've got that done around my bum hole. Oh, that makes more sense.

Okay, this is a story about an Australian woman who has spent $39,000 modifying her body with tattoos. I don't know how much tattoos cost, but that seems like a lot of money. She's basically got her whole body tattooed, which now includes her eyeballs.

Amber Luke, who is 24 years old, decided she would prefer her eyeballs, the white bits, were blue. So she decided to get them tattooed. I have never, ever understood how they can do this. Me either. I've never, I don't get it. After reading this, I'm not sure the tattoo artist knows either because Amber Luke has revealed that after the tattoo,

she went blind for three weeks. Can you imagine? It was horrifically painful. What a terrible experience for her. She said, the best thing I can say, it was like they grabbed. Someone was shoving a needle into your eyeball? Yes, that's what it is. Ten shards of glass and rubbed it into my eye.

That happened four times per eye, and that was pretty brutal. Yeah, I don't doubt it. Unfortunately, my artist went too deep into my eyeball. If your eyeball procedure is done correctly, you're not supposed to go blind at all. Really? You know where I wouldn't be getting an eyeball tattoo?

Where? Like I wouldn't be in Bali and thinking, oh, I'll get an eyeball tattoo in Bali. You're like, oh, I'll get something to remember it. Mike, wouldn't you do your research? I heart Bali on your eyeball or something like that. Wouldn't you do the research if you're going to the length of getting an eyeball tattoo? Wouldn't you just get a contact lens? Yeah, but contact lenses

What? Don't turn you blind? No, they can turn you blind. Well, they can turn you blind, I guess. Has she had anything else done? Has she had her tongue split in half? She's got multiple face tattoos. She's got the Post Malone words underneath her eye.

What about piercings? From what I can see, visible piercings. She has the big stretches in her ears. Anything else? No, that's all I can see. She doesn't have many piercings. That's her body canvas there. She's a work of art.

She is a work of art. A lot of people are into it. She has put a lot of time and effort into it. The eyeballs, though? Yeah, and to be honest, all her tattoos are in black and white, and then she's got blue for her eyeballs. Oh, so you're saying it's a colour clash that's the issue. It is a colour clash.

You know the ones I find interesting are the people who get the tattoo inside their lip. Have you seen those? Yeah, my friend has penis. Pulled out your lip. Inside her lip? Yeah, well, technically it's pen 15. Oh, okay. Those don't last forever, did you know? Yeah, they friend has penis. Pull down your lip. Inside her lip? Yeah, well, technically it's pen 15. Oh, okay. Those don't last forever, did you know?

Yeah, they eventually go away. They kind of grow out. I don't know why because your mouth heals or something. Constantly. And they can get it out of you. Have you ever seen someone who's had their tongue tattooed? No. Oh.

That sounds sore. That sounds like. That heals quite quickly too Yeah I bloody hope so Anyway If you are Looking to get your eyeballs done This summer Who

Listening right now Would be going I was thinking about Getting my eyeballs done You never know You never know Don't go where Amber Luke went Not a good idea

ZM Spree and Clint The podcast I've got some really bad news If you love cookies Oh okay Not a good idea. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. We've got some really bad news if you love cookies. Oh, okay. Me love cookies. Me love cookies. Go on, let's hear yours.

Why is he so good? It's so funny. Let me get into character. Me love cookies. Me love cookies. Yum, yum. What else does he say? Have Subway not or Mahegan's not recruited Cookie Monster as an ambassador yet.

How annoying that over the years they've made him change him loving cookies and just eating cookies for every meal to that song that he had to do. Oh, yeah, they've balanced out his diet, eh? Yeah, he needs a balanced diet. A cookie is a sometime food. Yes, a cookie is a sometime food. Also, is that the same voice? No. It's different, hey?

Fruits and vegetables that are healthy for you. Yeah, piss off. Sesame Street's not what it used to be. We get it, okay? We know it's... I don't think any kid was trying to survive exclusively off a cookie diet. Cookie Monster's also not a kid. It's a monster.

He can eat whatever the hell he wants. He requires different nutrition to you and I. Anyway, actually, I'm not about to help the cause. Okay. Because researchers from a university in France have found that the combination of ingredients found in cookies triggers the same addictive response as drugs. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I can imagine that.

According to this study. So apparently the sugar and the salt content in cookies can induce a craving that is comparable to those induced by drugs such as cocaine. That's why he was so mental. That's why he's all like, me love cookies. Replace the clip already.

Stop replacing clips! It's my job to play clips! And if I can't rely on the audio That's loaded in the system How am I to do my Frickin' job I've taught you well Now wax on

Or wax off I don't think it's any I don't think they need to do research To say cookies are addictive That's a problem with a bag of farm bait They're saying that they're As addictive as cocaine. Yeah. What? That's pretty

normal to you. Well surely. I don't know anyone who's had some cocaine and has gone I'll stop there. Just one cocaine for me. Thanks. Everybody that I've seen they end up in some big like. It ruins their life. Just like anybody who gets addicted to cookies.

I don't know. Sing us out Cookie Monster. A cookie is a sometime food. Yes, a cookie is a sometime food. I really hate that song. So do I. I hate it so much.
