Speaker 1 (00:00):
ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Play ZM's Brie and Clint. Micro-ics.
We've talked about ics before and the things that put
you off people and we've talked about the fact that
you can't choose when you get the ic. You can't
undo an ic either. And you can't undo it. Once
you've got the ic, it's all over, Red Rover. It's
all over. And the worst one to get is an
(00:21):
ic once you're already married to the person.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Remember when producer Ella Genzetta tried to tell us that
you can get over X?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And we were like, well, it's not an X then. Yeah, no,
that's not an X. It's not getting the X.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
No.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
The X is when your view of the person changes.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
The X.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's the thing that happens that makes you think about
them differently. Look, she still thinks that. I still think it. Like, okay,
my husband, love him dearly. He's everything and everything. He
crosses his legs. But I can get over it. Heaven forbid.
Why are you with him? It's icky. But I love
him so much I can look past it. That's not
getting the ick. That's not it. That's not getting the ick. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Okay, I did go on a date with this other
guy and he talked about politics.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I got the ick from that. No, that's not the
ick either. That's just a red flag. The ick is
a feeling. The ick is a feeling you get.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's so hard to describe, but it's this feeling that
comes over you where your whole view and vibe.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Changes with someone. And I believe you have to be.
And they make you feel yuck. I think to get
the ick, you have to have been attracted to them first.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
100%.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Because the ick is the change.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And it's the inability to be attracted to them again.
And once you go and get the ick, you can't
go back. So don't go on the radio saying that
your husband gave you the ick. He didn't.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah. Nice.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's a different thing. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Good call.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Five more days and I don't want to stuff it up.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So these are not big X. These are micro X. Okay. Okay.
They're much more niche. Micro X. Okay. ICK. Okay. Micro ICKs.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Got it. From the list, from the comments, a micro X.
And you can tell me whether these are micro X
or full blown X. Okay. I found out that he
followed Instagram on Instagram. Nah, that's funny. Is it? That's
a micro ick. That's not a real ick. He screamed
when the DJ said, make some noise. I kind of
(02:14):
love that. What would the scream sound like though?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Ready?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'll be the DJ. No, I'm not doing it. I'm
not falling for that. No, you have to do it. No,
I'm the DJ. I'm the DJ. No, I'm the DJ
because I'm the DJ. No, because it's a guy doing it.
So we need to see what it sounds like. Are
you ready? Hey, everyone, make some noise. Yeah. Oh, I
see what they mean. Yeah. You can't make love to
(02:42):
that person after that. You can't. I think it was
just your face. It was just like, yeah. There's a
micro-ix that says he would use baby voice when he
woke up and he would send me a good morning
voice message like, good morning, baby. Nah, that's a real ick.
(03:06):
That's a real ick. That's a full-blown ick. It ruined
my day every day. That's so, yeah. A micro-ix. Someone said,
maybe I'm overreacting, but the guy I was seeing had
a phone wallet flip case. That's definitely a micro-ick. Was
he 64? On the borderline. On the borderline.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
If it's real grubby, you know how a lot of
the time a flip case is quite grubby?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Also, when you talk on the phone and I can
see all of your F-plus cards. And it's flapping around.
Shout out to my mum, queen of the wallet flip case.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
My mum has one too, don't worry. We've all got them.
They get them from the same place.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Micro-icks. He held his fork with a closed fist. What,
like Shrek- No, no, that's not. Yeah, that's definitely a micro-ick.
These are micro-icks. Someone said he had a picture of
himself on his lock screen. I feel like that could
be a full-blown. I'm on my lock screen, but my
(04:07):
kids are in there. Do I get away with it?
Way to get yourself in there. Make it okay. He
used to send me a cap-cut edits of himself. Of
himself doing what? Nah, that's a full ick. That's a
full ick. Of him doing what? That's such a good question.
Doing what? Like his gym session? What's he cap cutting
(04:28):
and sending to you? Also, why is he editing the
video that he's sending you?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, weird.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
If I need to see a video, just send it
to me. Yeah. Micro Icks. On his birthday, he screenshotted
all of his birthday messages and posted them on his
Instagram story thanking everyone.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Micro ick. He texted me, so we instead of sorry. S-O-W-W-I-E.
So we. So we. Well, it's kind of like baby voice,
but in text form. Micro icks. He used to say
hashtag in real life. Like if he'd had a long
day at work, he would say hashtag tired. I feel
(05:12):
like Ella does that. Oh, hashtag not listening, were you? No,
I was. Were you hashtag busy? I do do that.
Were you hashtag distracted? My humour.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Ella's latest thing that is a bit of a micro-ick
for me is that she's using the word, have you
noticed this? Like you'll say something and then she'll go, swag.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Swag. I'm bringing it back, okay? But I did feel
icky when I said it to management. I was like...
Did you use swag management? Did you use swag on management?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Management.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I just was agreeing with them. Yeah, swag. Hashtag swag.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What about when someone says a micro-egg for me when
someone says, oh, expresso?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Espresso, yeah. Espresso martini.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Micro-eggs. He used the sentence, well, as an alpha man. Oh. Oh, no.
He had an AI picture of himself as Batman as
his lock screen.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh!
Speaker 1 (06:06):
He wore Roman sandals.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Nah, men can have Birkenstocks too, everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
And the final micro-act that I have for you is
he stamped near a pigeon and the pigeon didn't move. Damn,
even the birds don't respect him.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I went $ 100 at him.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Or text them to 9696. Can you do it, guys?
We're not looking for icks. That's just a micro-ick. We're
looking for micro-icks. It was so small. And even in
your mind, you're like, I can't believe it was that
thing that turned me off, that person. But it did.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh, you're saying that the micro-ick turned into full-blown having
the ick?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The micro-ick, yeah. It's a tiny thing.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
It's a tiny thing. It's like that guy I dated
whose knees hyperextended. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. And
it freaked me out. Brie left a guy because he
had hyper-extending knees. Shut up! You did! Makes me sound horrible.
You said he stood like the aliens at the coffee
machine on Men in Black. There was already other problems.
We're talking micro-ics, not full-blown ics, micro-ics, okay? The tiny
(07:13):
little thing. And you're right, it's got two ways to
interpret that, doesn't it? It didn't quite give you the
full ick, it's a micro-ick, or the action was so
microscopic you didn't understand that it could give you the ick.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And yet it still did. It could be one or
the other. It could be one or the other. Let's
go to the phones where Karen is standing by with
a micro ick. Hi, Karen. Hi, Karen. Hi there.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
How are you going?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Good, thanks. Did you experience this micro ick firsthand?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Oh, yes, I certainly did.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So back in the day, I was dating a guy
and he couldn't, I didn't realize it for a start,
but then the more I got to know him, he
couldn't say words properly.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So he would say things like woe.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Wobe for what?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
For Robe.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Robe, okay. Can you call it a wobe?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Or would say things like, instead of saying specific, would
always be asked more specifically. And as time went on,
it got more and more annoying. And then I would
see him saying it, and there'd be like little spittle
drops coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh, no, that's the ick. Once you start noticing the
saliva leaving their mouth, you've got the ick.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Karen, I hate to tell you this, and I don't
know if you were in the market, but because of that,
you could never date my mother. My mum loves to...
It's not like completely mispronounced words.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
She just slightly mispronounces words. And that's what it is,
isn't it, Karen?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
My father asked me what it was like dating Daffy Duck. So,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Even your dad was in on it, Karen. That relationship
didn't stand a chance. Amy's here. Hi, Amy.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Hi, Amy.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Hi. Your daughter got a micro-ick.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah, she's going to kill me when I get home.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Go on, tell us.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
All right, so she rings me up and she's like, Mom,
I've got the ick. And I was like, no.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What did he do?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And she's like, I walked into the room and he
had his foot up to his ear, going, ring, ring,
and then passed her a foot and said, oh, it's
for you.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
She was like, oh, mama.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So I was like, when are you moving.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
In, darling?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Your daughter's boyfriend took a call on the phone, Amy.
It's kind of impressive. Is it not kind of impressive
that he can get his foot up to his ear?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I think that's an ick as well.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, I think that's part of it. I think that's
the main problem. Flexibility is an ick. This is good.
I'm writing all of this down, Amy, by the way.
It's good information. On your do not do list, I hope. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no,
I want to stay married. I love how much joy
that brought you, Amy, as well.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Oh, my Lord.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Amy's like, I get it. I'll be over to pick
you up in a minute. Micro X, my husband full
on licks his plate. Oh, no. Sometimes. What about? this one?
It says micro ick.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Boyfriend at the time walked in the door and said, oh,
you got a haircut, and then went to the hallway
and checked himself in the mirror running his hands through it,
and it just kind of made me feel weird looking
at him preening himself. Major ick, though. He dumped me
one hour later. Who books a haircut before dumping someone?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's a wild story. Who comes home from a haircut
to dump someone? Maybe he just could sense your ick
and he was getting ahead of it. Micro-icks. My partner
puts his socks on first after the shower, then his undies,
then gets dressed. That's psychopath stuff. So he's just this
whole naked man with socks on.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I reckon if I saw anyone, absolutely anyone in socks
and shoes and nothing else, I reckon I would get
the ick.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It doesn't matter who that person was. Yeah. Like if
that person was the hottest person ever, if I saw
them in that. I agree with you. I don't know
why it is. I don't know why it is either.
This one's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It says, The ick that I got was I saw
him cry at a gig that I was performing at
because the song reminded him of his dog that had
died when he was 10.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The song was Chasing Cars, by the way. How old
was he? Like, if he's crying about a dog, he
had one. And you all gag.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah. I'm picturing an adult, man. Micro icks. I saw
him curl his toes whenever he ate anything. Oh, man. Oh, yummy.
My ex spelt cool, K-E-W-L, every time. Oh, no. He
would smell the spoon after he licked it. Oh, what?
(11:44):
That's weird. Micro X, he broke his ribs and then
flinched if anyone would step near him. Oh, come on.
The guy's got broken ribs.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Someone said micro-ick when they say lol after a joke
or generally anything.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
This is relatable too, and I wonder if your partner
got this, Bree. It says, my wife's eight months pregnant,
and she has a new micro-ick of me every day.
Totals probably about 30 micro-icks just from me sitting near her.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, I wonder.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I wonder. I feel like definitely. You reach the stage
of pregnancy where breathing gives you the ick. Uh-huh. You
reach that stage of marriage as well, actually. Yeah, don't
even look in my direction. My husband puts his hand
on his chest when he's passing people in his car.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh, Lord.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
My micro-ick was an ex who used to say pumpkin
instead of pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
My micro-ick. He slept with his arms crossed like a vampire.
That's buzzy. That's bizarre. That's so buzzy. Play ZM's Breein

you can get over X?

And we were like, well, it's not an X then. Yeah, no,
that's not an X. It's not getting the X.
Speaker 3 (00:33):

my husband, love him dearly. He's everything and everything. He

Why are you with him? It's icky. But I love
him so much I can look past it. That's not
getting the ick. That's not it. That's not getting the ick. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Nice.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's a different thing. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Good call.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Five more days and I don't want to stuff it up.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So these are not big X. These are micro X. Okay. Okay.
They're much more niche. Micro X. Okay. ICK. Okay. Micro ICKs.
Speaker 2 (01:53):

I'll be the DJ. No, I'm not doing it. I'm
not falling for that. No, you have to do it. No,
I'm the DJ. I'm the DJ. No, I'm the DJ
because I'm the DJ. No, because it's a guy doing it.
So we need to see what it sounds like. Are
you ready? Hey, everyone, make some noise. Yeah. Oh, I
see what they mean. Yeah. You can't make love to
(02:42):
that person after that. You can't. I think it was
just your face. It was just like, yeah. There's a
micro-ix that says he would use baby voice when he
woke up and he would send me a good morning
voice message like, good morning, baby. Nah, that's a real ick.
(03:06):
That's a real ick. That's a full-blown ick. It ruined

Micro ick. He texted me, so we instead of sorry. S-O-W-W-I-E.
So we. So we. Well, it's kind of like baby voice,
but in text form. Micro icks. He used to say
hashtag in real life. Like if he'd had a long

We're not looking for icks. That's just a micro-ick. We're
looking for micro-icks. It was so small. And even in

go to the phones where Karen is standing by with
a micro ick. Hi, Karen. Hi, Karen. Hi there.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
How are you going?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Good, thanks. Did you experience this micro ick firsthand?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Oh, yes, I certainly did.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So back in the day, I was dating a guy
and he couldn't, I didn't realize it for a start,
but then the more I got to know him, he
couldn't say words properly.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So he would say things like woe.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Wobe for what?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
For Robe.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Robe, okay. Can you call it a wobe?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Or would say things like, instead of saying specific, would
always be asked more specifically. And as time went on,
it got more and more annoying. And then I would
see him saying it, and there'd be like little spittle
drops coming out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh, no, that's the ick. Once you start noticing the
saliva leaving their mouth, you've got the ick.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Karen, I hate to tell you this, and I don't
know if you were in the market, but because of that,
you could never date my mother. My mum loves to...
It's not like completely mispronounced words.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
She just slightly mispronounces words. And that's what it is,
isn't it, Karen?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
My father asked me what it was like dating Daffy Duck. So,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Even your dad was in on it, Karen. That relationship
didn't stand a chance. Amy's here. Hi, Amy.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Hi, Amy.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Hi. Your daughter got a micro-ick.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah, she's going to kill me when I get home.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Go on, tell us.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
All right, so she rings me up and she's like, Mom,
I've got the ick. And I was like, no.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What did he do?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And she's like, I walked into the room and he
had his foot up to his ear, going, ring, ring,
and then passed her a foot and said, oh, it's
for you.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
She was like, oh, mama.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So I was like, when are you moving.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
In, darling?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Your daughter's boyfriend took a call on the phone, Amy.
It's kind of impressive. Is it not kind of impressive
that he can get his foot up to his ear?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I think that's an ick as well.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, I think that's part of it. I think that's
the main problem. Flexibility is an ick. This is good.
I'm writing all of this down, Amy, by the way.
It's good information. On your do not do list, I hope. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no,
I want to stay married. I love how much joy
that brought you, Amy, as well.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Oh, my Lord.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Amy's like, I get it. I'll be over to pick
you up in a minute. Micro X, my husband full
on licks his plate. Oh, no. Sometimes. What about? this one?
It says micro ick.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Boyfriend at the time walked in the door and said, oh,
you got a haircut, and then went to the hallway
and checked himself in the mirror running his hands through it,
and it just kind of made me feel weird looking
at him preening himself. Major ick, though. He dumped me
one hour later. Who books a haircut before dumping someone?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's a wild story. Who comes home from a haircut
to dump someone? Maybe he just could sense your ick
and he was getting ahead of it. Micro-icks. My partner
puts his socks on first after the shower, then his undies,
then gets dressed. That's psychopath stuff. So he's just this
whole naked man with socks on.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I reckon if I saw anyone, absolutely anyone in socks
and shoes and nothing else, I reckon I would get
the ick.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It doesn't matter who that person was. Yeah. Like if
that person was the hottest person ever, if I saw
them in that. I agree with you. I don't know
why it is. I don't know why it is either.
This one's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It says, The ick that I got was I saw
him cry at a gig that I was performing at
because the song reminded him of his dog that had
died when he was 10.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The song was Chasing Cars, by the way. How old
was he? Like, if he's crying about a dog, he
had one. And you all gag.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah. I'm picturing an adult, man. Micro icks. I saw
him curl his toes whenever he ate anything. Oh, man. Oh, yummy.
My ex spelt cool, K-E-W-L, every time. Oh, no. He
would smell the spoon after he licked it. Oh, what?
(11:44):
That's weird. Micro X, he broke his ribs and then
flinched if anyone would step near him. Oh, come on.
The guy's got broken ribs.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Someone said micro-ick when they say lol after a joke
or generally anything.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
This is relatable too, and I wonder if your partner
got this, Bree. It says, my wife's eight months pregnant,
and she has a new micro-ick of me every day.
Totals probably about 30 micro-icks just from me sitting near her.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, I wonder.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I wonder. I feel like definitely. You reach the stage
of pregnancy where breathing gives you the ick. Uh-huh. You
reach that stage of marriage as well, actually. Yeah, don't
even look in my direction. My husband puts his hand
on his chest when he's passing people in his car.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh, Lord.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
My micro-ick was an ex who used to say pumpkin
instead of pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
My micro-ick. He slept with his arms crossed like a vampire.
That's buzzy. That's bizarre. That's so buzzy. Play ZM's Breein
