Speaker 1 (00:05):
I came across this TikTok where this woman was asking
for dating advice and I thought this is actually really
good knowledge for all of us to have.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Not even in a dating sense, but I think even
in a sense of when you want to get to
know someone.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
And you want to.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Get to know them quickly. So essentially what she was
asking is.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Cut to the chase. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Essentially she was asking what is the one question you
would ask on a first date where you believe their
answer tells you everything you need to know about them.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You know what it is?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
If you have one of these, can you text us
on 9696? What is the question you would ask? Do
you have a question?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Do you think we humans landed on the moon?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
It's a great question.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know, get it out of the way early.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
That's the exact vibe.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Because whether you think it's a conspiracy or not doesn't matter.
Their reaction will tell you everything about this.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yep, 100%.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Do you want to hear what some of the comments were?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Sure. Of the suggestions from people. So someone said, the
question I would ask on a first date, which would
tell me everything I need.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
To know, is tell me about your mum.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
And it's how.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
They describe their mum and how they talk about her
that they believe tells them everything they need to know
about that person.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Someone else said, my question would be, if you won
the lottery right now, what would be the first thing
you would do and why? It shows people's priorities, baggage
in their heart.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. Why? It doesn't.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I feel like we should ask Clint all of these
questions and just see.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
The lotto one doesn't, okay, because you may have a
purchase that you've been wanting for years and years and
years and years.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Okay, ready, I'll ask you.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It doesn't mean you're not charitable.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I'll ask you.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Clint, if you won the lottery right now, what's the first.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Thing you would do? Build an orphanage.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
You don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Build an animal shelter.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh, that's so nice.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And then park my brand new Audi RS6 in it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Someone else said, I would ask if they believe in aliens.
I don't really care about the answer, but it's their
attitude when they respond.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Same with the moon landings.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I need someone who can let me ask questions
and not make me feel dumb for asking.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You could do the same thing with star signs. You
could say... Yes. You say, are you into star signs? Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Because if there's a difference between... Oh, I'm not into that. Oh, no,
stupid shit.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Or.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It's not for me.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's not for me, but.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
But I understand why people like it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
And that's a great answer. I'm like, sweet. You don't
have to be into it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
But it's their attitude.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Also, red flag if you're dating some guy and then
he's like, absolutely, Taurus. Why do you think I chose you?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Why?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Because you don't want two star signed people in the
same relationship.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
What about someone else said, I would ask the question,
what's something you used to believe strongly that you don't anymore?
That's such an interesting question.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, that's too deep for a first encounter.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
That's so deep. I'd have to really think about that.
Can you, anything off the top of your head that
you used to believe strongly?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
We're not there yet, you and I.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Some coming through on the text machine? Yes.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Someone said, do you like cats? That's my leading question
every time. Because if you're.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
A big cat person, you're going to want to have
a cat.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Someone said, do you have butter with your peanut butter?
I like that one. I'll ask you, do you have
butter with your peanut butter?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Do you not?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know, I've stopped having butter recently. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
But only because I've increased the quality of my peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So now.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
With a good peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You don't need butter.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
You don't need it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But if you're rocking a craft or an eater.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
You kind of need it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It needs lube.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, it does need a little bit of moisture.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It needs something in there.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Someone said, I would ask, what brand is your fridge?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
What are you getting from that one? There's multiple answers
too because they could give you.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
The brand or they could go, I don't know. Yeah.
And that tells you a lot about them too, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
God, this is blowing my mind.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
What's the relationship between your parents like and what was
your upbringing like?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
God, that's too deep.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You know what is a great question to ask at
some point though?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah. Like just hearing how someone talks about their exes.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
How someone discusses or like what.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
They say because they can say, oh, look, my ex,
great person, didn't work out between us.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Because when Bree talks about her exes, she always goes, hot.
My exes, hot.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
My exes are pretty hot.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And that's a nice way to talk about your ex.
They'd love to hear that.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
What's your favourite animal and three deep reasons why shows
what they want their partner to be.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Really? Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
So you go, my favorite animal is hippopotamus because they
are strong, independent, and... They can float in water.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Keep your questions coming through.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
These are good.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
We asked you what's the question you ask that tells
you everything you need to know about someone straight away,
whether it's dating, you might be hiring someone.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It shows. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
A deeper.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You might be trying to... You might be about to
pick them up as a hitchhiker.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, it just shows, you know, a deeper understanding of
their personality.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Someone said, I'd ask what kind of car you drive. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I don't know if that tells you that much.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You know, like in terms of like.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Tells you that. In terms of.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Wanting to be with them, though, or like date them.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, probably superficial things. But someone said, I'd ask what
petrol station you go to. Some petrol stations give me
huge red flags immediately.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Which ones? Which ones? I want to know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Someone said, I asked the question, if you're putting something
on toast, you put it on the left side or
the right side?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Of the toast?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You put it on both.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You put it in the middle of the toast, don't you?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh, no, I go from one side to the other.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I think so, or top to bottom.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh, I'll go for 100% coverage.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I don't think that tells you much about someone's personality, though.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Maybe it does, and we don't know, and we've just
revealed quite a lot about themselves. See, we talked about
being judgmental before, and someone said, my question that I
ask that tells me everything I need to know about
a woman I'm on a first date with is, do
you watch Shortland Street? If they answer yes, then it
doesn't go anywhere past the first date.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I feel like that's quite judgmental. Like, what's wrong with
Shortland Street?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
What did Shortland Street ever do to you? Did your
mum love Shortland Street more than she loved you?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Is that the strangler texting him?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Is that Lionel?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Could be.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Have we got Lionel Skiggan?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Someone said, I've always asked the question, have you ever
cheated on a partner?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, well, to be honest, cut to the chase.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Isn't it? Yeah. Play ZM's Bree and Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And live weekdays from 3 on ZM.
