Show requested, so here it is.
As long as you've got da-da-da-da.
It's Z-D-M's Brie and Clint podcast.
Z-M's Brie and Clint, thanks to KFC.
Go!
ZDM's Brin' Clint.
Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Brey and Clint show, Feet.
Brooke from the Night Show.
It is T-minus one week till your babes back in your arms.
Bree, this time next week she's going to be here.
Your babes back in your arms.
Yeah, I've never heard of referred to like that, but yes.
She is your babes, and she will.
will be back in your arms.
This time next week.
Bree, what are you going to, what's the first thing you're going to say to her?
What is the first thing you say to someone after childbirth?
Had much sleep?
Nah, that's boring and basic.
Surely you want to see.
You're better than that.
You're better than the average Clint.
Come on.
Go deep.
What's it like changing boy nappies?
Because I've never done that.
Oh, okay.
Boy napes.
Way harder to change than girl nappies.
because you've got to wipe the stuff from around the bits.
Oh, I didn't want to start it like this.
I didn't want to start it like this.
It's a reality that...
She is facing.
She is facing, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, maybe work on the first question.
Maybe ask her something about herself.
What have you learned?
I did.
Had much sleep?
You weren't into that one either.
Yeah, that was boring.
And then you asked about wiping.
Okay, what's...
Okay, blow us away, Brooke,
with your first question you'll have for Brie
when she comes back next week.
Bree arrives through the doors this time next Tuesday
and you hit her with the...
By golly, you look like you've learned a lot about yourself in the last three weeks.
Tell us the most interesting thing you've learned about yourself, Bree.
Not bad.
And she'd say, I'm too tired for this shit.
Shut up.
Yeah, just get on with it.
My gosh.
And I've been wiping boynappies.
Hey, let's play Trady versus Lady to kickstart the show.
Trades keep going up.
They're at 67 and the ladies are on 60.
So if you want to represent either team and score that 50 bucks can,
Thanks to KFC.
Play ZDEM's Breanclint.
This is the main event.
Treaty versus lady.
Every day at 10 past three, it's your chance to become the greatest tradie or lady in the country.
We really need our ladies to pick it up, chicky babes.
Come on.
Yeah, chicky babes, pick it up.
Scores are 60 ladies, 67 tradies.
Quite the comeback for the tradies, and they can tell.
continue to forge your head.
But today could be different.
Our lady is in Hamilton.
She's 49, and according to her,
she is the biggest fan of the USA you will ever meet.
Welcome to the show, Vanessa.
Who!
Hey, too!
USA!
USA!
USA!
USA!
What got you into that, Vanessa?
Did you visit once?
And you were like, wow.
Did you not grow up watching all the American shows thinking,
God, I want to do that, God, I want to say that.
Like Utah looks amazing.
I haven't been yet.
I've only been to New York and Vegas and L.A.
But I'll get there.
Once you've been, you get it, eh?
It's actually awesome.
And the people in the States, incredibly friendly.
Oh, really?
I hear of it.
It's so good.
Incredibly friendly.
I know.
You think that they're going to be really rude, especially New Yorkers.
They're not.
Are they, Vanessa?
They're fantastic.
They are.
It's such good people.
And, you know, not one person I met while I was there voted for somebody.
I'm picking up while you're putting down, Vanessa.
Because that was my concern when I saw you.
you were a fan of the OSA, so thanks for clarifying, Vanessa.
No, no, no, no, no.
It doesn't matter who leads it.
It's still a great country.
It's a wonderful continent.
Everybody should know.
She's a walking advertisement.
You're taking on our trainee from the NACI.
He's in his 50 and he's been punched in the face by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Now, that is a fun fact.
Welcome to the show, Carlo.
Hey, how's that.
You've got to give us some details on that, Carlo.
When, why, how?
Did you ask?
It was a movie.
I think my third Jackie Chan movie.
and I don't know, he was pissing around.
He did so many takes.
He was supposed to back fist me.
And on about the eighth take, I just thought, oh, bugger this.
I'll just put my face closer to where it's supposed to be.
Oh, you were on set with him?
Everyone shared, and it was a good shot.
So you were acting in a film with Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Yeah, on the stunt team.
Yeah, wow.
I thought you just didn't like one of his movies and were like, went up to him and was like,
hey, Arnold, no good, and he just went, all right.
Yeah, no, no, he was a good sweetie.
Aw.
Okay, that's a great fact.
I was to punch me before we did the scene.
And he was like, no, no, no, I'm a professional.
I don't know.
Fellow actors, you know.
Yeah.
And you said, shut up, pussy.
And then he ditched you.
And then I just put my face here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your buzzer is Trady, Vanessa, Lady.
First of three career dancers gets the 50 bucks from KFC.
Good luck, guys.
All right, let's jump in.
First question.
Tell me, a killer whale is also more commonly known as a...
Lady.
Lady.
Vanessa.
An orca is a killer whale.
An orca is correct.
One point ladies.
Yeah, she was just in there, Carlo.
It was tight, though.
What flavor is the white-air New Zealand lolly you are offered on board?
Vanessa.
Mint.
Well done.
Wow.
You almost had an own goal there and buzzed in with trade, he and answered.
Yeah, we've been to give the point to Carlo.
Okay, 2-0.
Okay, Carlo.
Third question.
which bed is bigger?
A queen or double?
Lady.
Vanessa for the clean sweep.
A queen.
Queen's correct.
She's a lead.
Vanessa are a queen.
Yeah, well done.
You're the champ.
You got 50 bucks from KFC coming your way?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, and the U.S.
Oh, good.
Carlo, maybe some residual head trauma from the Arnold Schwarzenegger punch in the fast.
Yeah, we put it down to that.
Those people are just a bit slow, mate.
Yeah.
Oh, it's all the weed.
All right, congrats.
61 to the ladies now.
ZDM's Brie and Clint Podcast.
Our producer Claudia said to us that she's downsizing at the moment,
which is unfortunate because I had a whole bunch of clothes
they wanted to offload to you.
I'm still willing to take it.
Oh, so you're downsizing.
I'm downsizing so I can upsize.
Oh, right, okay.
No, I'm downsizing because I'm moving house,
and then it's just less for me to move.
So maybe once I've moved house, I can take all of your...
Then you can fill up with my crap again.
Then I don't have to carry it around.
Okay, sweet.
You were talking to us about, because I do this too, when you,
because periodically I'll go through my wardrobe or my drawers and go,
you know what I don't wear this.
Yeah.
I should get rid of it.
And you either go, oh, no, maybe I will wear it.
And it sits in your wardrobe unworn for another 12 months.
Or it's something that has an overarching sentimental value, doesn't it?
Yeah, and I've been pretty hard with like my line of what I'm keeping and what I'm not.
Yes.
I think I've halved my wardrobe.
Do you do the Marie condo?
Oh, like, does this bring me joy?
Does it bring you joy?
Do you know that one, Brooke?
No.
You should pick, if you want to properly downsize, you could get all your clothes out of the wardrobe,
put them on the bed.
Yeah.
Because your brain needs to see how much crap you have.
Oh, no.
Your brain physically needs to be disgusted by the amount of stuff that you have,
which won't happen if you don't get it out of all of the drawers and all of the hangers.
Yeah.
And then individually go through, pick up each item, hold it in front of you,
and sit with it for a second, and just ask,
yourself the question, does this bring me joy inside you? And if it doesn't, if it's purely
utilitarian, you're like, no, but I could wear it for a meeting sometime. Get rid of it.
But then I'll only have, no, that's the problem I have at the moment. And now I only have
fun clothes. So I'm wearing off the shoulder t-shirts to meetings. And I'm like, my gosh,
I only have town clothes. Because those are the ones that bring me joy. That's such a good point.
That's such a good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, does this bring me joy or respect? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Respect.
Okay, tell us about the items you're grappling with, Claude.
Well, I've gone deep in the back of the wardrobe.
Things that I literally have not touched for years.
I've got two jumpers, like oversized, old.
I will never wear them.
The problem is they belong to dead relatives that I love.
And I just can't see myself donating them, selling them or letting anyone else wear them.
But I'm looking at them going, I'm never going to wear this.
Like I've got this beautiful jumper that was my mum's, but it's bright orange.
Like it's fluorescently orange.
Yeah.
I'm never ever going to wear it.
You're getting guilt tripped by a sweatshirt.
Yeah.
You know?
So it's got sentimental value.
I know it's got sentimental value, but you've imbued this item of clothing with superpowers.
Yeah, that's true.
I want to ask you quickly, was it a sweater that your mum loved or was it just one of her sweaters?
Because I know that people I love have items of clothing.
And if they were haunting me and they said, why did you keep my crocs?
I didn't even, yes, you could be, I don't even like that too too much.
No, literally, I've never seen her wearer.
Yeah, it just was hers.
It just feels wrong, right?
Yeah, because imagine if you saw someone else wearing it, you'd go,
get off.
And then I've also like carted it around for years.
I've moved houses so many times with it that now I'm also like,
but it's mine.
Part of the furniture now, isn't it?
Really.
I've held it this long.
I would probably pride it.
Could you repurpose it?
Could it become a cushion cover or?
I could die it, maybe.
You're sitting on my mum.
My mum never wore that, but I think she bought it.
That cushion wears that jersey so well.
It's moving that makes you.
It forces you to make these decisions.
And I can't make this decision for you.
But it's hard if you know you're never going to wear it.
I just did that thing where I took it out and I go,
I can't make that decision and I just put it back.
Yeah, you kick it down the road until you move next time.
That's what half the clothes in the drawer are.
You go, I'll decide when I unpack it at the new house.
You won't.
I'll decide next time I move.
I have items of clothing like this that I've just kept for no other reason than
it feels weird to throw them away.
Yeah.
And there's one item because if I'm getting rid of stuff,
I'm giving it to the Salvation Army near our house.
Or me.
or you, but I won't be giving them or you this one particular tissue.
Why?
I have the t-shirt that I wore at the Cleo Bachelor of the Year competition in 2012.
Is that the year that you were nominated?
Yeah.
And it says across the back of it, Mr. May.
Because that was my month in the calendar.
And every time I do a downsize, that shirt comes out.
And I'm like, and I can't wear it.
Why not?
What about in May?
It doesn't fit first time.
But second of all, it would be a bit weird for me to walk around in my Cleo Bachelor.
Could then you, Mr. May, not have it?
The magazine doesn't exist anymore.
Oh, you could just give it out.
Hey, you, you look like you're Mr.
May.
Clint's Mr. May.
Should I nominate Mr. May each year?
Yes.
Yes.
Should I award each year that May rolls around?
I nominate one particular hottie and he gets the ceremonial scoop neck t-shirt.
Brotherhood of the travelling Mr. May T-shirt.
You bestow the Mr. Mason lit on him.
This is such a good idea, guys.
Should you get the band back together and get January February March as well?
Get DeBois.
No, because they've all thrown theirs out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See who still got it.
We want to know this afternoon.
Do you have a sentimental item of clothing that you should throw out?
But you just can't.
It might not even be an item of clothing.
It could be just an item.
It could be a mug.
It could be a rug.
It could be something.
A teddy bear?
I feel like there will be sentimental teddy bears people.
And they're useless or they're gross or they're worn out.
But because it was so-and-sos or because it was there at such and such time,
you will probably cart this thing around with you until you die.
And then you'll pass it on to someone else and they'll go,
I can't possibly get rid of this.
It's just like family trauma.
You just keep passing it on and on and on.
Dead end Franklin.
Claudia has dead relatives sweatshirts that she doesn't want to wear.
And we found out neither did the people that owned them when they were alive.
Yeah, they're kind of ugly.
But it's beside the point.
Yeah, that's not the point at all.
Not the point at all.
So we want to know what's the thing that you can't bring yourself to get rid of.
Barry's here.
Hey, Barry.
How's we going?
Yeah, good.
Can you sympathise?
Oh, definitely.
Yeah.
What is it?
Yeah, I've got a sweatshirt from 1987 from the cold Kiwi motorbike rally.
Yeah.
And I've kept it because it's when I met my wife.
Oh, Barry.
But she's throwing it out three times.
She's like, I don't care.
Jeez.
It's now well hidden so she can't find it and try it out.
That's the opposite of sentimental.
What do you think she dislikes more, the T-shirt or the marriage, Barry?
Oh, no, it's just it's worn out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you feel like if you sold it, Barry, or put it up, you could get a bit of coin for it?
Yeah, it sounds real vintage.
No, no, they still run the rally.
Yeah, it's even better.
Oh, no.
Give it a whirl.
Have you got us?
I need it so I remember what you.
year we got married.
Oh, does it have the dates that you remember the anniversary as well?
That would be really helpful.
Yeah, that's good.
Is your partner the sort of one that will throw out your undies and your favorite slippers
when you're not looking as well, Barry?
Oh, yeah, yeah, and all those shirts, all those t-shirts with the holes and the ones that are
just...
She needs to go around to Claudia's house.
Yeah.
A tornado.
A cleaner.
Yeah.
Thanks, Baz.
Tilly's here.
Hi, Tilly.
Hi.
What is it?
What's the sentimental item that you just can't bring yourself to throw out?
Yeah, there's a dress that I've got from when I was seven-ish.
Me, my family and some family freeze, went to Vegas on a trip,
and they got married at the little white...
Incredible, yeah.
Obviously, I didn't know what it was because I was seven, but I had, yeah, the sent to me...
Pretty dress.
It was literally just a red dress of white polka dots.
It wasn't anything special.
No, you don't get rid of that.
You don't get rid of that.
Have you had kids yet, Tilly?
No, no way.
Too young.
Someone will love dressing up in that one day.
My niece. I'll give it to my name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Watch her spill everything all over and you.
What does a seven-year-old do for fun in Las Vegas?
Show off her pretty red dress.
Dressed up has Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse on the street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.
Okay, thanks, Tilly.
And we asked you, what's the thing that you can't bring yourself to throw away for sentimental reasons?
Someone said, I have two T-shirts from a US summer camp that I worked at 20 years ago.
I will never wear them, but I just can't get rid of them.
Again, that sounds like some of the coolest vintage you could find.
And because it's actually yours, it's even cooler.
Like, no one can call you a poser for wearing that.
No, yeah.
You know, some people do.
My friend went to Antarctica at random as, and she is like Antarctic, like, merch.
Damn, has Antarctica got a gift shop?
Yeah, they must do.
It's pretty big.
Pengins, wad, whata, whata, waddle, waddle.
Melissa's here.
Hi, Melissa.
Hey.
What is it?
What's the thing you can't throw?
out?
My baby teeth.
Oh!
How many have you got, Melissa?
I've got all of them.
Oh, all of them.
You've got a fresh set.
You've got a fresh set of baby teeth.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
You ever know what family member down the line is going to really want those, you know?
You're right.
I have no idea which family member that is going to be.
Oh, man.
Where are they, Melissa?
Yeah.
Okay, thank you for asking.
They're in a precious box that my nana gave me.
all 28 how many teeth you have yeah i don't even know there's probably like 10 in there
i think yeah babies have got like 20 i think of something yeah some of them must have got lost along
the way but there is a piece of some amount in there yeah someone's found a baby tooth that could be
melissa's please return oh they go all yellow and they're just like no no they're beautiful
they're still curly white you could turn them into earrings you could turn them into jewelry
Melissa the possibilities are endless maybe i will maybe i
I will.
It reminds me of that time that Kasha wore her own placenta to the red carpet that time.
She's like, this is the placenta from when I was born.
And everyone's like, wow, that's a thing.
It smells just like you.
You're beautiful.
That's so on brand, Kasha.
Before the meat dress, there was the placenta.
Placenta necklace.
Yeah, all right, Melissa, bloody good.
And very impressive to get those teeth back from the tooth fairy, too.
I guess have you managed to get them back and do you have to buy them back?
Bartering.
Somehow.
Yeah.
She's figured it out.
Z.N.'s.
Branklin.
The T.
Live from L.A. with D. McCarthy.
But first, Dean, and this is vindication for me, Dean,
because I've been saying since it came out that this is the song of the year,
and I believe it's going to win the Grammy.
Give us.
The records that Chooze in Texas has just broken.
Oh, huge record.
Yeah, I'm with you.
This is going to be a really, really memorable song for the year.
It's currently spending its 17th week at number one, which actually puts it now.
This is wild.
In the fourth place ever of the all-time Billboard Hot 100s, like, so to give you context,
Morgan Wallens last night, and remember, Despacito, that is at number two.
And, of course, Mariah Carey and Boys to Men's One Sweet Day.
And then it goes this song, like, they are big, banger, huge songs.
So to be in the category, number four,
being 17th weekend number one, that is really, really major.
It's a dark horse known.
I mean, you saw it coming clip, but I didn't.
I completely predicted this, and like I said, I feel vindicated.
It's got some crazy stat too where it's one of the most successful songs ever that's not a Christmas song.
Because Christmas songs go back into the chart each year.
So they have like a re-up situation, but choosing Texas is its own beast.
It's just got that juice to it that's like being able to do the distance.
It's got a magic source. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I couldn't ride it like on purpose.
It was kind of just like, uh-uh.
Yeah.
I've been struggling to get people over the line about how good it is.
Do you get it yet, Claudia?
No, I don't.
It just hasn't hit, you know?
I get it.
She's choosing Texas.
She's two stepping around the room.
Get it.
Nah, it's magic.
It's got something special.
Okay.
And it's got Ella Langley.
Have you heard five seconds of summer though?
Geez.
They got it.
Damn.
That's a tea with Dean McCarthy.
Bad Am's Brea and Clint.
Podcast.
Bad news for Bradd
Pitt today, he's done an interview with, it's a confession, I guess. He's done an interview
with Esquire magazine. He's done another hot boy photo shoot. Yeah. Where the dude's 62. Wow.
And he still looks fantastic. Isn't every photo Brad Pitt takes a hot boy photo? Pretty much.
Yeah. I'm not 100% sure if he's got, you know how every hot boy has their ugly photo? Like
Harry Stiles has got a couple. Oh, for sure. There's always a photo suit. I'm sure Angelina must have some
ugly photos of Brad Pitt for sure, deepen her camera.
And maybe that's what she's holding over him.
He's admitted that after seven years sober, he is back off the wagon in his words.
He said, life's been a bit hard for him recently and he's no longer sober, which is not ideal,
but he says he has it under control.
But it reminded me when I read this today of a bold statement made by you, Brooke, about one of
Brad Pitt's biggest movies of all time yesterday.
Yeah.
Wait a kick of a man, wellies.
This is the, yeah, I know, bad timing, Brooke.
But you know what, you said it before you knew this.
Exactly, so that's not on me.
The statement that Brooke has to make regards which movie?
The 1999 Brad Pitt film Fight Club.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You know, you f***-cackies.
one of my favorite movies.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Of all time.
But that's not a unique statement.
I think every man my age has Fight Club as one of his favorite movies of all time.
I think every man that I've been in an entanglement with,
it's either Fight Club, Interstellar or Something of Brad Pitt's.
It's a great selection of movies.
Yeah, of course you'd say that.
My statement, I don't know, I'm dancing around it now,
I think Fight Club is definitely punching above its weight.
in terms of how much hype it got.
So overhyped, Fight Club.
You said Fight Club overrated.
Yeah.
And you just saw it for the first time over the weekend, didn't you?
I was forced.
I was forced to watch, and I watched the entire thing,
and I will say it's quotable.
Like I love the you're not your khakis.
Like it's a quotable movie.
When I really sit with it and I go,
what about this movie do I not like?
After watching the movie, I was physically exhausted.
That movie is too much of everything.
It doesn't give you a split second to think about what just happened.
No.
Before moving on.
And someone will be like, well, get with it, keep up with it.
It's a fast-paced movie.
Yeah.
Let me think for a second about what's just happened.
I get that.
But just as you're trying to process your thoughts,
wham, they put meatloaf in front of you with a giant set of titties.
And that's early on in the movie.
And then from there on, it's just more and more and more and more and more.
It's a lot all at once.
it felt like a TV show crammed into a movie
like still a long movie
but could have definitely been brought out
to a TV show Fight Club.
It's controversial.
And don't, by the way,
don't text 966 saying,
first rule of fine climb,
you're not allowed to talk about
if anyone text that through.
Every text, I'm going to punch you in the bicep.
I'm so sick of hearing.
Me?
Every, every, it's just like boys cling on to that quote.
First rule of fight club.
First rule of the workplace.
Don't punch your co-workers.
Yeah, okay.
I don't agree with you,
but you're entitled to your opinion.
and this happens from time to time.
You only just watched it for the first time.
And it's a very old movie by today's standards.
It's from the 90s.
So do you think that maybe it was just talked up so much
that it could never live up to the hype?
No, because I think I missed that wave.
It's not like another example of a movie that I think that was overhyped,
but I was here for the hype was long legs.
That was a movie that was very like, oh my God,
people are walking out of the cinemas, this is great.
And I went and watched it and I was like,
man, I think I went to the wrong movie here.
I think even if I've gotten less of the hype.
Long legs, Nicholas Cage.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This came out a couple years ago.
Okay, right.
That's the movie that I was comparing.
Please don't compare Fight Club to some random Nicholas Cage movie that no one's ever heard of.
No, people have heard of long, I just think.
Quick hole of the room.
Claudia, you're a long legs fan?
I've never heard of it.
Oh, never heard of it.
No, no, no.
Stop it, everyone.
Fight Club, though.
Heard of that.
That's well, it has this notorious.
glorious, untouchable, stop it, it's one punch.
This untouchable umbrella that Fight Club is be all end,
all it's everything, oh my gosh, it answers everything.
What?
They went down to the basement and they went a couple rounds.
Dude.
Spoilers.
Dude.
Look, it's your controversial opinion, but you believe Fight Club didn't live up to the hype.
No.
So this afternoon we're going to create a safe space for you
to share the thing that you believe didn't live up to the hype.
We will not chastise you.
We will not criticise you.
We may be shocked and surprised.
I want to be shocked and surprised.
And we may question you.
Ella has one to get the ball rolling.
I'm nervous to say it, but I stand by it.
The Louvre?
Overhyped.
Oh, wait, no, that's historically not true.
Sorry, a statue.
I'm looking at a thousand statues.
I'm honored and grateful to be here,
but I think I'd rather have done other stuff in Paris.
Just to check.
Yeah.
You're talking about the museum in Paris where they keep the Mona Lisa
and not the song by Lord.
Yeah.
Okay.
over height.
Sorry, it's just like, I can appreciate art and good paintings, but...
It's a heavy foot.
Can you?
It was really busy.
Can you appreciate art and good paintings?
Statues are boring.
I don't want to look at cement.
It's your opinion, and you're entitled to it.
And we don't agree, but you are welcome to have it.
And right now we want to open the phone lines to you.
The ZM Podcast Network.
On the same day that Brad Pitt admits he's broken his sobriety,
Brooke, who's filling in for Brie, comes out and says,
and you know what else, Brad Pitt?
Fight Club sucks.
Can we just revisit that whole hype fight club?
Nah, not good.
It's a hot take, and you have really divided people
with an opinion like that.
Most people think that it's wrong, you're wrong,
and they've said, next she'll be coming for classics like Top Gun.
I would never wake me up if I come for a movie
where Miles Teller has his T-shirt off.
No, no, no, Top Gun original.
Yeah, but that's fine.
I'm not going to come for to me.
Also, Tom Cruise.
Miles Teller was busy not being born.
Yeah, take me back.
But you do have some people who agree.
Someone said millennial here.
Absolutely hate.
Fight Club.
Can I just say, I didn't say I hated it.
It's just well overhyped.
And I think it could have just gone under the radar as another movie.
Because it is.
So on the back of that, we've created a safe space for you to come through and tell us.
Yeah, I feel so safe right now.
What you believe didn't live up to the hype.
It's not truly safe.
Like Ella came swinging for the Louvre before.
That was crazy.
The Louvre.
The statement literally went,
I love art, but the Louvre is overrated.
It was.
It was a little bit boring.
Sorry.
But can I just say,
at least she's saying something's overrated
that she's tried.
You can have your opinion.
Yeah, you have to have tried it.
But you can't come and say,
oh, tomato's overrated.
I've never tried a tomato.
Then you can't say it's overrated, pal.
It's a good criteria.
Rob's here.
Hi, Rob.
Hello.
Can you promise us you've tried the thing
that you believe is overrated?
I've been there twice.
Okay.
You're qualified.
Rob, when you're ready, what is the thing that, in your opinion, doesn't live up to the hype?
Queenstown.
Localised, hate.
The whole...
The best thing about Queenstown is Learremot.
No, you're actually right.
The surrounding areas are gorgeous.
Yeah.
Okay.
Rob, where do you live?
Where do you live?
Wellington.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
They do have working sewage in Queensland.
I mean...
Well, we have...
working sewage here? No, you don't. It's pumping Australia in the ocean, aren't you?
No, no, I get it's a hot take. Is it because it's so expensive? Is it because of, it's so
full of tourists? Was the line at Fergberger too long? What was it, Rob? Well, Fergberg is a
nothing burger. Yeah, it didn't, it was just a burger. Okay. You went twice, Rob, though. Once
you go, wow, overrated. Going back twice, Rob, what, were you just confirming that it's overrated again?
The second time we flew into Queenstown, picked up the rental car, and went to Tiao now.
Got the hell out of that.
Yeah, right.
I guess you kind of have to.
All right, Rob, we respect you making a bold statement like, Queenstown sucks.
And I've never seen Fight Club.
Oh, okay.
So you don't have means to say whether it's overrated or underrated.
Respect, Rob, respect.
I'm a 10-year-old male that never seen Fight.
You can be the deciding vote between Brooke and I if you go and watch it.
Yeah, I wouldn't not recommend to not watch it.
It's one of the things.
It's kind of just like getting, you know.
Brooke, stand in what you said.
Okay?
Just got to watch that.
Stand firm.
We asked you, what is the thing that's overrated
and you guys have not held back?
Someone texted her and said,
Spice Girls and Dyson vacuum cleaners and the sound of music.
Wow.
Just let off three rounds.
It was a three universally loved things.
All the movie, okay, these are the most common movies coming through on
9-6-96 for overrated.
Oppenheimer, the Barbie movie,
The Barbie, The Barbie, Deadpool, Wolverine, Lord of Rings,
anything A-24 and Top Gunn has come through as over and the same.
Wow.
Yeah.
Crazy to say Lord of the Rings because you're objectively wrong.
Like our country, our entire economy pretty much exists off dairy and the Lord of the Rings franchise.
So you could say you don't like it.
But is it over-hyped?
It's all we've got.
Take away the Lord of the Rings and we've got no hype here.
If you take away Lord of the Rings and Queenstown.
Matamata would be like, nah!
We have nothing else.
We said what was overhyped, in your opinion.
Someone said Anne Frank's hideout.
That is unhinged.
I don't think it's meant to be hyped.
I think it's meant to be like a place of reflection.
Yeah, 100%.
Yes, Ella.
I've been there, thank you very much.
And it was beautiful.
Well.
Okay, good.
I thought you were about to come in and say,
No.
The opposite.
Switzerland is highly overrated.
The country.
Yeah, ma'am.
If you don't like Queensland, you're not going to like Switzerland.
No.
Didn't you do Switzerland?
It was beautiful.
The people there are lovely, but they are very straight to the point.
They're very Swiss.
So the lady kicked us out of the spa.
What were you doing in the spa?
Wouldn't you like to know?
I feel this one, and Bree and I have said this one before.
If you're going to read the one that I think you're going to read.
It's the Moraki Boulders.
Oh, okay, no.
Yeah.
If we're talking about overhyped, they're just a bunch of rocks.
I think we're in the different hyping regions.
because what you're getting hyped, that's not hyped,
I've never been hyped to go see it.
They're meant to be like one of New Zealand's seven natural wonders.
And they're like, how did these boulders get on the beach?
Was it aliens?
Are they marbles from an ancient civilization of giants?
I'm always wondering how these boulders got on the beach, you know what I mean?
Someone said all Whittaker's chocolate.
All Whittaker's chocolate.
Statue of Liberty, I won't stand for it.
That's a great piece of art hanging there.
If you're not eating Whitaker's chocolate.
chocolate. What are you eating? They said it all tastes like peanut slab. Yeah, that's the
point. I think the peanut slab flavor of whaticas tastes a lot like the peanut slab. Yeah.
Whitaker's chocolate, but otherwise other flavors don't taste. And someone said
Auckland, it has to be the shittiest city in the country. Well, mate, have you been to
Queenstown? I haven't met someone who's hyped up Auckland either, so it's rated just
right. It's ZM's Breeneclint podcast. Let's get classical.
Bring in Clients.
Let's get classical.
You know the game.
It's pop songs redone in classical style, and it's our job to guess them.
Today it's going to be me versus you, Brooke.
Oh, what?
Yeah.
I was going to suggest one time, Claude, can you make it?
Let's get jazzical.
Do you want jazz music?
Jazz instead of classical?
I like jazz.
I could do jazzical.
Can you?
God, you're talented.
I know I could do anything.
So, Brooke, you and I will be racing to guess the songs,
the real songs that Claudia has covered on her.
Baby Grand, do you want the Baby Grand today?
This week, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your job, sweet listener, is to text the person that you think is going to win to 9-6-96.
And you've got to do that before the end of the game, because if you're right, you could score yourself 50 KFC chicken dollars.
So this week you can text Clint or Brooke to 9-6-96.
I have heard multiple symphony things, if that is helping my case.
You know what I mean?
Symphony things.
Symphony?
The symphony band.
So is your life experience?
so you think you'll know it.
It's like symphony, the show, the concert.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've seen orchestras, which is classical.
No? Is that not classical?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just, you know, the symphony.
I'm going to start the song.
You need a buzz in with your name.
First person with two points.
We'll take home the win.
Gotcha.
Can I just lock in for a second?
Yes, yes.
I'll give you a second to lock in.
Yeah, I'm not done now.
Okay, lovely.
Here is your first song.
Clint.
Clint.
Olivia Rodriguez dropped dead.
That's the one.
Yeah.
It's okay, Brooke.
I'm the Olivia Rodriguez guy on the show.
Yeah.
I wasn't even hot on your tail, dude.
I was still the first verse.
No.
I was like, this new song is great.
Whose new trick is this?
We should play it.
Olivia Rodriguez.
Oh, God.
Okay, okay.
Okay, whatever.
Can I tell you I do expect you to do well in this game?
Because I've seen symphony life.
No, just because you know a lot of music.
I expect you to do it.
Yeah, I know it as the artist intended it in the pop version that they play on the radio.
That was a practice.
That was your warm up.
So it's nil all.
You just need to do better.
It wasn't a practice.
No, it's practice for you.
One point for Clint.
Here's another song.
No, please.
I love this weather.
I gave you so much time.
Harry Stiles as it was.
That's exactly right.
It's lost.
Were you esteemed?
Not to be.
It's not for any points.
Do you want to try one?
You know what I would have done really well in?
The let's get jazzical version of that song.
I'll give you one go.
Okay, and I won't participate.
Okay, it's just a race against myself.
Yeah, alright.
Can you get this one?
I'm more of a lyrical girl.
No, no idea.
The weekend blinding lights.
She's got it?
I'm shocked.
She's got it.
So you can do it.
I can.
I can do it.
Sorry.
To the person that texts in Clint, we believe in your musical ability.
50 KFC chicken dollars.
Congratulations.
Well done.
Rightfully earned.
Next on the show is Usher using a lookalike at his performances?
This could be the biggest scandal in music since they replaced Avril Levine.
This could be the biggest thing in Usher's career.
Okay, one hot take per show, okay?
A ZM's Brein Clint podcast.
A bit of a conspiracy.
conspiracy theory going around at the moment and I know you're an usher man.
I am an usher man, yeah, through and through.
Have you shaking in your little boots.
Some people who went to his most recent show believe that for the first or the, like, first third of the show,
there was a man on stage performing as Usher that was not Usher.
It's like, when you're walking down the street and you see someone who kind of looks like Usher,
and you're like, oh, he kind of looks like Usher, but not enough.
Yeah, that's okay if you're walking down the street.
the street but if I paid good money to see Usher, I expect it to be Usher on the stage.
So many questions.
Have you seen the person and does it look enough like Usher?
It looks, it's possible, that's what I mean.
It's possible as like if you saw this guy walking down the street, you would definitely
comment to be like that looks like Usher, but.
And why only the first third of the show?
Because they think that he's come out halfway through after the dancing scene.
He's got his, he's got his hat tilted over his eyes.
Yeah.
And you can see his lips.
He's dancing.
He's dancing like Usher,
and his, like, bottom half of his face looks like Usher.
He sounds like Usher.
He's Asher from the shoulders down.
Yeah.
No, no, but why?
Why is, so Usher did the rest of the show.
Is that right?
Real Usher?
Yes.
And they think fake Usher.
Well, if you wanted a little break,
I think, I assume that's one.
He's decided, oh, I can't be bothered with the first half.
First half of my show's not my favorite anyway.
I'll let this guy do it.
So can someone Google how old Usher is?
Because I get it.
It would be a high energy show.
and people would want the singing and the dancing.
And he made the mistake of introducing roller skating to his sets recently.
Bold move.
Which is a bold move.
Yeah.
As someone who fell over roller skating with my children recently.
Risky business.
Oh, yeah.
But still, that's what you sign up for.
How old is Asha?
Claudia.
He is 47.
He's not even 50 years.
Nah.
And he's in good shape, right?
He's in great shape.
You know what the most demanding part of an Asher show is?
And I don't know if this is in your guy's Instagram feeds,
but there's a section in the show where he pulls a randy lady from the crowd.
Oh, I saw the awkward one of this.
And he does some like bumping and grinding on her, consensually.
Yeah.
But there was one lady that got pulled up on stage, and in the middle of the bumping and grind in and he stops and he goes, you're not into this, are you?
And she was like, um, I, um, and you could tell she wasn't into it.
So he was like, oh, you killed the vibe.
Yeah, get off.
There's so many other people in the crowd wanting this right now.
Get off the stage.
He responded on Instagram and he mocked it because this is how big it's, it's gotten to
Usher that he's got a clone on stage. We feel like, I want my tickets back. I want my money back.
I paid for Usher and I got this guy. And he said, clone, question mark. That can't be a
clone. A.I. is not that advanced. You can't clone Usher. He would say that though, wouldn't he?
Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's not the first person to be hit with a clone conspiracy.
Avrilavina is a very famous one. Oh, but that one I believe. That she was replaced, that she
either died or
had a full Menti B
and they replaced her with another Averell Avivine.
There's a classic one about the Beatles
that Paul McCartney died in a car crash
like mid-Beatles.
Oh and they're like, this is going to be so bad for the tour.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like, this is the biggest band in history.
We've got to get another one.
Yeah, yeah.
That's like when you kid, you know,
you accidentally drown one of their goldfish
and then you're like, you won't notice.
That's much easier to get away with.
Brie's got a great story about her mom
literally replacing her whole ass dog.
Oh, that's...
That's a different breed itself.
Yeah, yeah.
She just got another dog.
I had a golden lab before.
Why is it a chocolate lab now?
What the hell?
I probably would, and this probably says more about me,
I probably would see an usher impersonator,
but not if I was told that it was the real usher.
Like if you told me I'm going to see the world's greatest usher impersonator,
I probably would pay to go and see that.
But I need to be in on it.
I need to be in on it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some people thought it was his brother, James Lacey, Jalak.
aka J-Lack.
Oh, J-Lac.
J-Lac jumping on stage for his brother.
Well, then maybe that's kind of nice
to give J-Lack a turn.
Maybe.
To be like, you've,
J-Lac, you've watched me
have this success
and do all the bump-in
and all the grind-in
for the last 30 years.
Yeah.
Tonight you get your opportunity.
Yeah.
But you have to cover your face
so no one knows it you
because no one wants to see J-Lac.
Play Z-Eames, Bree and Clint.
Brooks here filling in for Bree.
For this week, it's Bree's last week
of Baby Leave.
There's big news in the Christchurch Facebook page today,
the Christchurch NZ Facebook page,
which I think is the official Christchurch Facebook page.
How do you become the official Facebook page?
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like there's probably rival admins.
Yeah, for sure.
But the people know.
The people know.
It's power of numbers, right?
100%.
Anyway, there's drama in the Christchurch, NZ Facebook page.
So someone who is not a can tab,
and actually is a bit of a coward because they're not using their real name.
Their name is Ambitious Seal 23554.
That could be their name.
Has posted in the Christchurch, NZ Facebook page,
calling out the people of Christchurch.
Have a listen to this.
They said, I've just flown back from 10 days in Christchurch.
I've been there a few times,
and I'm moving there at the end of the year with my two boys.
Right.
I was really surprised and noticed this time around
how depressed and dull everyone in Christchurch.
Look.
And how, yes,
Not the double Ds, not the depressed and dull.
And how not a lot of people take any pride in their appearance or how they look.
No one's smiling.
It's like everyone just gives up and has let themselves go.
This sounds like something you'd put in the Auckland Facebook group page just to be like,
hey, letting you guys know, down there, dire.
Yeah.
He said it to the people of Christchurch.
He said, I really came away from this trip wondering if we are now making the right decision to move to Christchurch.
Church, I couldn't wait to get back to Perth where people look fit and healthy.
Right.
I do notice when I go over to Australia, I'm like the general baseline of looking good is a little bit higher over here.
I agree.
Maybe not Perth.
Maybe more Sydney or Melbourne.
Yeah, yeah.
But I feel like those are two different things.
I feel like stepping into Christchurch and saying everyone in Christchurch looks dull and has let themselves go.
one, wrong, two, inappropriate, man.
Read the room.
Do you want to hear what the people of Christchurch have said?
Of course.
So this is the comment section, which is going off so much that they've had to turn the comments off.
Oh, that's when you know it's good.
One comment reads, sorry, bro, just putting on my tuxedo to head to pack and say.
That's what I was going to say.
What are you?
It's middle of winter.
Exactly.
Christchurch.
It's hard out here.
Like, what do you want?
Someone else said, oh, you must have come on a Thursday.
that's our homeless let yourself go look Dave.
Yeah, yeah.
Casual Thursdays around Christchurch.
This post went up yesterday, by the way, and it's going off.
Someone else said,
we're all too busy trying to complete our kids'ushi collection
with these outrageous grocery prices.
I tell you what, the Ushi demand is enough to drive anyone crazy.
I think the correlation, if you put a graph next to when Ushi
started to the steady decline of people taking care of themselves,
the graphs would be very similar.
The parents are pulling their hair out.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Someone else said,
leave us alone.
It's cold and everything is expensive as if.
Yeah.
It's cold.
Yeah.
It's cold.
It's Canterbury in August.
Like,
what did you expect, man?
Yeah.
If you're not turned on by a puffer jacket,
then don't come here looking to be turned on.
No.
You should go to Dunedin.
Yeah?
Well, colder.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And someone else said,
we all have influenza and scabies.
Hope's this helps.
XO, XO, Xo, Xo.
I think they just don't want the person to move to Canterbury.
Well, no, why would you?
This person's just called everyone here ugly, and now they're like, oh.
Yeah, yeah.
And I don't think you can move there now.
No.
I think invitation rescinded.
Yeah, exactly.
Do you know I actually find South Island is quite attractive?
Like, in a scheme of things.
Why do you say that with a surprised tone in your voice?
Well, in this guy's, in this guy's Facebook call out, I wouldn't say that.
I would say if he visited other parts of New Zealand, he would have been,
do we know if it's a dude?
Oh, my God.
Are you ambitious seal 23554?
No.
Have we found?
No.
I assumed it was a dude, but is it?
Wow.
ZD.M.'s Bree and Clint.
Podcast.
I watched the new Spider-Man movie.
Oh, yeah.
Do you like it?
Ella absolutely wet her pants over it?
Yeah, and then Claudia was right down the other end of the spectrum.
And Claudia didn't like it at all.
Yeah, so I feel like Norway in this situation because I'm like,
you can see both sides.
There's parts that I love.
There's parts that I can be a little bit confused about.
But overall, it's a great piece of art.
Okay.
That's out in cinemas.
It's impartial.
balanced, perhaps.
Perhaps balanced.
My pH considered balanced.
One of my favourite parts of the movie is actually the soundtrack,
which I didn't think in a Spider-Man movie I would even consider the music.
But it was a bit of a factor to one of the pivotal scenes
where, without spoilers, Spider-Man attends a house party.
And this song comes on by Taman Parlor,
which we're playing as well at the moment.
Yeah, tune.
It just feels so right in the plot.
Yeah.
Oh.
It's crazy that this is finally the year of Tame and
Ampala. Do you get that?
Yes, yeah, yeah, Dracula. It's coming around.
It's taken so long, but...
Okay, cool, yeah.
So I wanted to collect songs that made the scene, rea-party scene, because I don't feel
like, I don't know, maybe this is a Gen Z thing, we're not going out to house parties
as much. So if you can get that same simulation in a film, that's the right one, then it
feels just the same. And if there's a good song in there, you're like, I'm here with you.
I know what you mean. And the song can make the moment, too.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah. Okay.
me some examples. The first one that jumped to mind when I thought
songs that make the scene re-party,
it had to be pursuit of happiness, which is in Project X.
This is after they smash
the garden gnome full of eckies.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're kind of deciding
should we, shouldn't we go like the full night? And they go, yeah, let's do it.
Yes, this is iconic, yeah.
It is.
Peak, peak millennial house party vibes, too.
Yeah.
And then a year later,
2013, another music that made the scene from a party,
The Great Gatsby.
A little party never killed nobody.
Furgy and Q-Tip?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think in the movie they do kind of more of a flapper girl sound.
Like, it's this song.
The movie version is different, you're right.
But I think I really like it because you're hearing about this mysterious character
the whole time who is Gatsby and then it's revealed in this.
It's just a gorgeous scene.
That movie is so good.
Oh yeah, I could rewatch it tonight.
My brother bought me the soundtrack to that film on vinyl.
Oh, yeah, but do you still have that?
Yeah.
Rock that?
Yeah.
I remember listening to some of that.
It's a banging soundtrack.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, on the songs that made the scene, re-movies,
10 things I hate about you when Kat Stanford gets up on the time.
She's like the never-party girls.
Now she's at a party for her first time and she's just leaning it all out.
Imagine being on a table to the song.
Come on.
You know, I've never seen the film, but you just described it so well, coupled with the song, that I get it.
Everyone's like, that's that nerdy girl who never goes out.
What is she doing dancing to Biggie on a table right now at a house party?
Then smokes her head on a chandelier.
So iconic.
Tune.
Songs that made the scenery movies, you can't go past Sophia's, what is a bachelorette party when she's just about to get married and Mamma Mia.
Oh, okay.
And all of her girls are around
and it's just meant to be a girly thing
but then the guys come and invade
her bachelorette party to this song.
And they're like climbing the wall and stuff?
Oh, it's so good.
Ebba?
Yeah, me.
Oh, the whole, do you have this one final?
Oh, of course it's Abba.
It's Mama Mia.
I thought that was a statement, not a question.
That's how obvious it was.
Oh, so good.
All right, one more.
Okay, and I know.
we're doing songs that make the scene. This is more modern, but imagine you're an ice hockey player
and you've got the hots for another ice hockey player and you're like pretty strict with your regime,
but you go out on the town one night and then you see this ice hockey player that you've kind of been flirting with,
dancing with another girl. What do you play, DJ?
Hit it.
From heated rivalry?
I tell you what, you think you love heated rivalry.
Not as much as the girls from Tartu love heated rivalry.
This is a whole other paycheck for them.
Oh, yeah.
They're relevant again.
Yeah, but it's so weird because it was almost like that song was written for that scene.
I don't know.
Bangers.
Bangers.
And great list of films, too.
30s, Franklin.
Time for a birthday banger.
Brinclin.
Every day at 5.30 we do a round of birthday bangers.
The number one song on your 16th birthday.
and Angela is going first.
Hi, Angela.
Hi, how are you doing?
Good.
How are you today?
How is your Tuesday?
Oh, great Tuesday.
May I first say, first time call?
Oh, my gosh.
First time call.
I feel like we haven't had one for a couple of weeks.
And for a birthday banger as well.
You're going to get it bang for your buck.
I'll say.
Good to have you here, Angela.
What's your day to birth?
The 6th of September 1970.
All right.
Easy math.
You were 16 on the 6th of September,
1986 and Angela this is your birthday banger.
Oh, the song from the Razor commercial.
These guys aren't Kiwi are they?
Banana Rama, no.
No.
What do you think, Angela?
Absolute banger.
Absolute banger, yeah.
Certified.
Title 80s classic.
Okay, wait there, we're going to do a birthday banger for Jordan.
Kiyota Jordan.
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
How are you going on Tuesday?
Not bad, not bad.
We can make it better.
Yeah, we can make it better.
I think Brooks right. I've got a good feeling about yours. What's your date of birth, Jordan?
12th of May 1996.
Right. That means you was 16 on the 12th of May 2012. And Jordan, on your 16th birthday, this was the number one song.
Flowrider.
That flow with you, Jordan?
Yeah, I'm so happy with that.
Yeah, that's a banger.
Crazy singing this song when you're 16, though,
and you just think it's about an umpire or a referee game.
Here we go.
Wait, what's it really about?
No, FloRiders, just a great umpire.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait there, Jordan, that's a tune.
One more birthday banger for Amy.
Kura, Amy.
Hello.
How's your day been?
Oh, pretty good.
Just moving house.
Oh, how can your day be good when you're moving house?
That's one of the worst...
Worst days.
Because it's like our own house, not just to rentals.
Oh, of course. Congratulations, Amy. That must feel like a new leaf.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Are you paying someone to do the bond cleaner your old place, or are you going to do it yourself?
I think we'll pay somebody.
Yes, that's an adult decision.
Okay, what's your date of birth? Amy, let's do your birthday banger.
Four of the six, 91.
You, Amy, was 16 on 16 on the 4th of June 2007, excuse me, and this is your birthday banger.
Tune.
It is pretty good.
Jen Neo's got, is it four wives now?
Oh, wow.
Yes.
Is it four?
Yeah.
It doesn't diminish the banger.
All the wives, really.
No, no.
Yeah, yeah.
Four equally important wives.
Actually, that's not true.
He's outwardly said that the first wife is the most important wife.
As she should be.
Yeah.
Amy.
It's information you didn't need, Amy, but I can tell you that I'm voicembring.
voting for your birthday banger.
Same.
Okay, you got the vote for you.
Okay, so that's one vote for Amy.
I'm going to do it.
It feels like a Tuesday birthday banger.
You're in?
Yeah.
Yes, Amy.
Chene, you just won birthday banger.
Congrats on the new house.
Oh, thank you.
From 2007, here's a birthday banger from Neo on ZM.
ZM's Branklin.
That's Neo for birthday banger.
It's number one.
in 2007, it's Amy's birthday banger, that's a tune.
There's a really good version of that that has a Kanye verse on the front,
which I memorized to heart,
and it sucks that we can't play it,
or I can't wrap it out loud anymore.
Just knowing that you know it, there's some street cred on that, though.
No, I know, but it's like...
Do you want to give a little bit now?
Nah, no, no, no.
You don't feel moved after that?
It doesn't feel appropriate, you know.
Yeah, just in the confined space of your own bathroom.
I'll do it in the car.
Yeah, yeah.
that's a carverse.
There's a guy who's received a ticket for not having a waft.
And I don't think he's in the wrong here.
Usually I'm like, well, them's the brakes.
You either have it or you don't kind of situation.
I remember my friend when we were at university, so we had no money.
And she parked outside uni and she had no warrant and no Red Joe.
And it was a $400 ticket.
$400.
Yeah.
She wasn't at the point.
pub for a while. Put it that way. We didn't see her for like two months or she tried to find the money.
This guy's in Christchurch and he's in the news today because yeah, he got a ticket for not having
a wharf, which is not news. But the difference here is that he got a ticket for not having
a warrant of fitness whilst in the process of getting a war on the fitness. When you say in the
process, because I'm, I was, oh my regos on the way, it's in the mail. That's a classic defence.
How deep was he into the wreath? Or you get pulled over with no.
Woff and you go, oh, it's crazy, man.
I'm actually on my way to VTNZ right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And some police officers will go, okay, cool, I'll follow you.
Yeah.
And you go, oh, shit.
But unless you can still do it, you can still pull in.
This guy got a ticket for not having a warrant of fitness while he was parked outside
the mechanic that was doing his warrant of fitness.
No.
So he'd got there?
Yeah.
This guy has lived overseas.
He's a Christch guy.
He's lived overseas for a year.
So obviously his rego and his warrant have lapsed.
Yeah.
And he's trying to get his MX.
five, jazzy, back on the road.
Yeah.
And so he's done the right thing.
You can't get a red Joe until you have a warrant.
Yes.
So he's driven the car to the mechanic where he's parked it up and they're like,
oh, you will do a service and do a warrant for it.
Just park it over there.
And so while it's sitting there, the parking warden has come past and gone, oh, no,
warrant or fitness.
Oh, parking warden.
He's like, yeah, kill of the day.
Here we go.
$255.
What is he supposed to do?
Like, what more?
He's gone about every.
He could he have been.
He is at war with the Christchurch city council.
He's been at war with them for seven months over this.
This is one of those ones and I get in this mode too.
And I know you do, Claudia.
It's more than a ticket at this stage.
It's a matter of principle, isn't it?
It's pride.
It's pride.
It's about justice.
Yeah.
It's about everything that is wrong with this world.
And he's still losing, by the way.
He's been issued a court fine because he hasn't paid it yet.
The council are like, nah, screw you.
That's not good enough.
That's inherently wrong.
What's happening?
Very good praise there.
Seriously, thank you.
Yeah, very good phrase.
I agree with you.
What?
To be, could people just get away with that though?
I could park my unwof and registered car near a mechanic and just be like, hey, it was at the mechanic.
You could.
You could.
He has forwarded the booking email to the Christchurch city council that he had from before the ticket was issued.
He goes, it's literally booked in.
And it passed its warrant, by the way.
Oh.
That's awful.
At that stage, I don't know what you do.
He's driving a fancy car.
Can't he just fork out the tooth?
I know it's a principal, but just if it's dragging on seven months.
It's not a fancy car.
It's an MX5.
That sounds fancy.
Visually is it not?
It's one of those little hairdresser convertible things.
Oh, any car with numbers or letters, I'm like, ooh.
Yeah, yeah, right.
No, well, anything that's not a swift day, you're like, you're like, blah.
Anyway, you don't pay it.
I feel like this is the beginning.
of one of those guys you see on Instagram Reels
who's like standing up at like a town meeting
and he's like abuser, he's like shouting his peace
and everyone behind him is like, yeah, fight the power!
Yeah, well we're going to get a doco in 10 years time
and be like, find out how I took on an entire council.
Yeah, he's going to be radicalised.
Anyway, we're behind him. Don't pay it.
The ZDM Podcast Network.
Brooke's here filling in for Bree.
After the show tonight, Brooke, I'm flying to Crash Church.
Safe travels.
Thank you.
Good job to do down there tomorrow morning.
Christchurch is where my best friend in the whole world lives.
And apparently where all the depressed and dull people are, by the way.
Oh yeah, we covered that off earlier.
Someone from Perth did everyone in Christchurch has let themselves go.
It's about to get a little bit less depressed and a little bit less dull with you there.
Not my friend Adam though.
He's a ray of sunshine.
But we don't get to see each other very often.
Okay, we live at opposite ends of the country.
Exciting!
It's a flying visit though.
I'm down tonight and I'm back tomorrow morning.
but one of our favourite things to do, my friend and I,
is to watch the All Blacks.
That's what we bond over.
Tomorrow morning at 5am, there's an All Blacks game.
Yes.
So I have reached out to my friend and I said,
hey, I've got a hotel.
There's an All Blacks game on at 5am tomorrow morning.
Why don't I ask if they can wheel a trundle a bed into the hotel room
and you and I have an impromptu sleepover
and then get up and watch the All Blacks together tomorrow morning?
Exciting.
Get a room service breakfast, you know.
Hopefully a win.
Put the game on.
Yeah.
Catch up.
Oh.
My friend has left me on scene with that suggestion.
So naturally we have called him to say, what the hell, man?
Yeah.
What the hell?
What the hell?
Has someone else got a hotel book and you've got to watch it elsewhere?
Have you got a better offer?
What's going on?
No.
Look, we can meet in the morning, but I mean,
A sleepover scenes, I don't know, it's a bit full-Monti-ish, don't you think?
Well, I didn't think so.
Are you telling me you would prefer, because the game's at five?
Yeah.
And we could set the alarm for 10 to 5, make a cup of tea, you know.
Are you telling me you'd prefer to get up at 10 to 4 and do a commute to come over and watch the game?
Look, I've been on the early shifts.
So it's certainly doable, but maybe, I don't know, mate, maybe you were more the fan of the, you know, the full smorgasbord.
Surely you guys have done like a little
Yeah
You've shed a bed before you too
Is that where you took offence to
Is it because I suggested the trundler bed
Rather than top and paling
Is that where things
It's a pretty extreme measure
Is it not?
What?
You know the trunler bed
I don't know
It seems very important
What if Clint slept on the trunler bed
And you Adam got the hotel bed
Would that be alright?
Is that insulting?
Do you want the good bed?
I think this whole prospect
Is probably raising red flags for my partner
Last time, she's invited too if she wants to come.
Last time Adam and I went away, he slept on the couch and I slept on the floor.
So the sleeping arrangements shouldn't be...
It's not been a factor in the past.
Shouldn't be the main issue.
Yes, producer Ella, what did you want to contribute?
Hi, Adam, I just want to say this is quality time with your best friend that you barely see.
You don't want to, like, spend as much time as you can with him?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, I've not dismissed our arrangement, but, you know, we're still on the plan phase.
This is happening tomorrow morning, Adam.
You can't be in the planning phase.
We've been friends for over 20 years, okay?
And we both turn 40 in the next six months.
Adam, realistically, we could only see each other a handful of times before we die.
Life is short, Adam.
Or before the all-black start coming down and losing and then you guys, you know.
Oh, no, too far.
Oh, sorry.
Is that worse?
Would you rather lose the friendship?
There's actually no need for that, Brooke.
That was actually...
Adam, it will be a bad luck charm if you don't.
You don't feel like you need to stay the night and get excited
and then it'll be more luck and you wake up together and then chuck on the game.
Come on, it's all part of it.
Maybe you guys are winning me over.
Yes.
Okay, cool.
Pack your all black jammies.
Yeah.
Ask your partner.
I'll see you at 930, okay?
Yeah.
Yeah.
See you then.
Love you.
Love you too.
See you later.
Yay!
He's so awkward about it.
He's only saying that for the radio.
Oh, it's ZAM's Brie and Clint podcast.
And that's the end of the show.
It's the end of us for a Tuesday.
I'm going to go and going to the airport.
I'm flying a Christchurch for the night.
Safe travels.
Are you and Adam going to have a little sleepover?
Well, he still hasn't confirmed.
I feel like he doesn't want to do the sleepover bit,
but he does want to do the rugby watching bit.
So this is my friend in Christchurch, by the way.
I've invited him to my hotel room for a sleepover
so that we can get up at 5 a.m.
And watch the All Blacks together tomorrow.
Just like good old times.
It wasn't received in the way I thought it was going to be received.
I think it was going to be like, sick, we can get room service, have some beers,
jump on the beers, tell some stories, where the roads.
Get no sleep and then get up with all blacks.
And he was like, um, got to be honest, bro, uh, vibes are off.
So I actually, invitation rescinded.
Are you going to hear, die on this hill?
Were you like, if you're not going to stay the night, you're not going to watch the footy with me at all?
I should, eh?
Maybe.
I should.
I should have a bit of self-respect and say, you either sleep with me or you, you,
or you
sleep with your girlfriend.
See you guys.
Ultimateum.
Back tomorrow.
See you guys then.
