The best bets of ZDM's Brian Clint.
My brother's partner recently on an overseas holiday proposed.
No, your partner's brother.
What did I say?
Your brother's partner proposed.
To who?
To him.
My brother's also getting married at the end of the year.
He proposed to her.
No, my partner's brother rather proposed to his partner.
Is this his keeper?
Don't confuse me anymore.
Listen to me.
I'm already struggling.
Luke, I am your father?
Anyway, he proposed.
His partner lost the ring in the ocean an hour later.
Yeah.
So we're asking you guys this afternoon.
Is that a record?
Is that a record?
Where did you lose the engagement ring?
It was in Italy.
He'd been eating olives and his hands were all oily.
The ring just slipped off.
Straight off.
Straight out.
Let's see what we can get.
Paige has called up on 0800 dials.
G'day, Paige.
Hi, Paige.
Hello.
Someone lost a ring boogie boarding, Paige.
Yeah, what a way to do it.
What a way to do it.
It's not quite an hour, but it is in the ocean. My husband lost his wedding ring about a month after we got married.
And it was in the ocean because he had the little boogie board strap around his wrist for safety.
Yeah.
And it pulled off and pulled the ring off.
Wow.
Paige.
And it was quite horrible.
Paige, can I ask you?
When your husband straps on that boogie board strap
and he gets in that ocean.
He's got those short little flippers on.
And he boogie boards like he's.
And he's got his rash vest on.
Life depends on it.
What does it do to you, Paige?
I've never been more in love with the rash vest as well.
Ladies love a surfy guy.
Do they love a boogie guy?
I love a safety man with his thumb block.
Yeah, yeah.
Has he got one of those little ocean hats with the buckle underneath his chin? Do they love a boogie guy? I love a safety man with his sunblock. Yeah, yeah.
Has he got one of those little ocean hats with the buckle underneath his chin?
Nobody does have the little shoes.
Has he got a reef shoe?
Yes, he does.
But you know what?
He's an engineer, so it's about practicality and safety.
Nothing hotter than a reef shoe, I always say.
Can I just check, Paige?
Was he a boogie boarder before you married him or is that a post-marriage development?
He was.
I knew what I was getting into.
Okay, so long as he was up front.
Paige, another question about the boogie boarding.
Have you ever been on an overseas holiday
where he's had to bring the boogie board?
We haven't quite got to that level yet.
I might have to reconsider at that point. But the worst part
of the whole thing was we
thought, we were so flustered, we went and got
a metal detector to try and find it.
Oh yeah. Obviously not
thinking that through because the sand at the beach
is full of iron. Yeah.
It just goes off. He ended up
just looking like a dick.
He already looked like a dick because he was
boogie boarding, but then you looked like a dick as well.
Yeah, yeah.
I love it, Paige.
Shout out to the boogie boarding community.
We were half joking.
Half joking.
We were half joking.
Half joking.
Let's talk to Tanya.
Hi, Tanya.
Hi, Tanya.
Hi.
Who was the one that lost the ring, Tanya?
My husband.
Where did he lose it?
In the ocean. In the ocean again? About two days after we
got married. Two days after you got married?
Yes. Was he boogie boarding as well, Tanya?
No. I'm not sure we would have been married if he was boogie boarding.
Yeah. It's gone, right? In the ocean it's gone.
It's not coming back. No.
We got it back.
What?
Yes.
So we went to Rarotonga, and we were on the Captain Thomas boat cruising.
Yeah.
And the guys actually dived in because I was like, this is it.
Like, our marriage is over.
Like, it's gone already.
Bad omen.
Yeah. And, no, they dove in and found it, came up with it.
Wow.
I know.
That is incredible.
That is service.
Yeah.
They've gone above and beyond.
And probably the reason my husband's still alive.
I was going to say, they saved his ass.
He's like, thank you, guys.
Thank you.
Big tip. It's like, guys,, guys. Thank you. Big tip.
He's like, guys, you need to come through.
Finally, Bianca.
Hi, Bianca.
Who lost the ring and how quickly?
Oh, my God.
So on the night of the wedding at the reception.
You're kidding.
The night of the wedding.
You or them?
What's that?
Who lost it? You or your partner?'s that? Who lost it?
You or your partner?
My husband
Bianca
It's all men
Bianca
It's been all men
Bianca level with me
I know
Was he boarding you boarding?
No but we were close to the beach
You were close to the beach
Level with me Bianca
How many jars had your husband consumed?
How many drinks?
We'd pretty much lost count at that point of the night.
Yeah, right.
Did it show up, the ring?
And did you make all of the guests get down on their hands and knees to look for it?
Well, I didn't know.
They kept it a secret from me.
So it was him and his best man.
And his best man said, look, I'll come back in the morning.
I'll have a hunt around and we'll try and find it. And so he
dragged his partner out of bed in the early hours and they went
hunting for this ring and they found it in the middle of this big paddock.
Oh my God. The old thing behind the restaurant where they got married. That's solid
best friending right there. Oh, I know, right? And then they
snuck into our hotel room
while I was in the shower.
I was like, oh, here's the ring.
They returned it to him
so he didn't even have to get out of bed.
That is...
That is...
That is such good best manning.
I know.
I know.
And then they told me that afternoon what happened.
Yeah, it's all good by then, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just as they were heading out for a boogie board.
Yeah, exactly. And then everyone could go off and boogie board
in peace.
With no worries.
I think if the body glove company are listening
this afternoon, they need to develop, so they've got a
safety strap for your wrist, an extra strap
that you can strap your little wedding ring in.
That's a great idea. And it would make you look
even cooler. That's a great idea.
You're on to something here. Thank you. I thought so, Bianca.
Okay, thank you very much.
Brainclinch.
The best bits.
We're talking about the real reasons you don't want to go on a second date.
Maybe it's a third date with people.
But what is the fake reason also that you tell that person?
You tell them something often to protect their feelings.
Yeah.
Or because you just don't want to get into a confrontation with someone that you don't intend
to see again. Yeah. And then the real reason sits in the background and that's the one that you tell
your friends. Like this text message here that we've received. Loving the honesty. They said
real reason. Oh sorry fake reason. Called it off because she had the same name as my ex.
She actually did. Which is a weird reason but that's the reason they gave. Which I mean, yeah, I've
heard that reason before. Real reason.
Had fugly as feet
and her house was a pigsty.
Yeah, see, that's hard to
tell someone, you know?
We asked to be honest.
We really asked for honesty. Yeah, we did and you gave
it to us. Wendy's caught up. Hi, Wendy.
Hi, Wendy. Hi, Wendy.
Hi.
Hi.
Tell us, have you done this before where you give a fake reason,
but there's a real reason behind it?
You don't want to go on a second date?
Yeah, definitely the phone thing. But what I used to have set up is I did shift work,
and it was 24-7, seven days a week that you were on shift.
Yeah.
So I used to get a work colleague used to ring me 20 minutes into a date.
If it was going well, I didn't answer.
If I really didn't want to be honest to the person,
they didn't like them, I'd answer the phone
and then tell them that I unfortunately had come out with work spam keys
and so work urgently needed them and I had to end the date.
Because you had the keys.
Oh, that's good.
Because obviously we've heard the one where you're like an emergency.
There's an emergency.
Wendy, I want to test your acting ability right now, okay?
Pretend you're on a date.
Wendy, you and I are on a date.
You and Clint are on a date and I'm going to call you.
You're not enjoying it.
Okay.
Okay, and yeah, I really think you should consider getting into cryptocurrency, Wendy.
Do you have it?
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
Hello?
Yeah, it's me.
I'm ringing you because obviously you've picked up, so the date's not going well.
Oh, God.
Really?
Oh, shit.
Not again.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm serious.
No, you've got to get them into the doctors.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sorry.
I will be there in, where am I now?
It'll be about 20 minutes.
All right.
I'm so sorry.
I'll come right now.
Okay, I'll come pick you up.
All right.
See you, mate.
Bye.
Oh, it was good.
Hey, who was that, Wendy?
Who was that?
But the worst thing is.
Oh, she's out of character now.
She's broken character.
She can't go back into it.
I'm out of character.
That was good, Wendy.
Wendy, we were still on a date here, okay?
You needed to follow through.
But then someone did it to me, and then I didn't like it
because I knew he'd just been at work, and it wasn't going well.
You've got to taste your own medicine.
Oh, my God, I've got to go back to work.
And I'm like, oh shit, this is terrible.
You said don't bullshitter, bullshitter.
You called him out about it.
You're like, I know what you're doing.
Someone said their fake and real reason.
I said my grandma had died and we were really close.
So I wasn't emotionally stable enough to date at that time.
I actually didn't want to go on a second date because of the fact that they ate their own boogers.
It gave me the ick.
They also used a hanky, which I find disgusting.
Wait.
Please keep me anonymous.
Wait.
Did they find all that out on a first date?
How did they find out they ate their own boogies?
Because they had a hanky.
So they must have taken it out of their pocket.
No, the boogers thing. Yeah, and then maybe one on the
finger went into the mouth.
Who is doing that?
Claudia's dry reaching out there. Who is doing
that? This person wants to remain anonymous.
Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous.
Hello. Tell us, what
was the fake reason you gave
someone you didn't want to go on a second date, and
what was the real reason?
So the fake reason I gave was the typical, oh, there's no spark.
Yeah, it's a good one.
It's a classic.
That's the go-to.
Yep.
Yep.
The real reason is that he had, like, the sort of old man style hair
where he's, like, bald at the top and he's got, like, wispy sides.
Oh, he's got the hair around the bottom.
Wispy sides.
Yeah.
And then the bald on the top. He should have just shaved it all. In the business, we call that. Oh, he's got the hair around the bottom. Wispy sides. Yeah. And then the bald on the top.
He should have just shaved it all.
In the business, we call that the friar tuck.
The friar tuck.
Yeah, and it was a blind date, so I didn't know what he looked like.
And I'm assuming from the sound of what you're saying, you don't have a problem with bald
guys.
It's just the way.
No.
The old man haircut.
It's just the keeping the fluffy. No, it was just that. Yeah, it was just that combination. It's just the way. No. The old man haircut. It's the keeping the fluffy.
No, it was just that.
Yeah, it was just that combination.
It was just, it was an ick.
Yeah, no, I get what you're saying.
Do you reckon in any world you could have just been like,
look, it was the haircut for me.
If you shaved off the sides, I think, you know,
or you just can't do it, can you?
I wanted to tell him, but I just...
It's not your place, really, is it?
It's not your problem.
Yeah.
Oh, poor guy.
What do they say?
Not my clown, not my circus or something.
Yes.
Not my monkey, not my zoo.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Thanks, Anonymous. Hey, Anonymous, thanks for being honest Maybe. I don't know. Thanks, Anonymous.
Thanks for being honest with us. We appreciate it.
We appreciate it. Feels good to be
honest. Someone's texted us. They didn't give the fake
reason that they gave, but the real reason they didn't want
to go on a second date is because he didn't have
a manual car. Really?
That's an interesting one. That girl
is looking for a man who can do hot laps
And the boy in the automatic
He just ain't it
The best bets
We're asking you the question
Where's your dead pet?
What do you do with them?
There's a lot of options now
Including humans
There's more options than just
Putting a human in the ground or cremating
Oh yeah true
You can get planted under a tree.
Have you seen those ones?
No.
Yeah.
Well, they still cremate you, I believe.
And then they put you in a pot and then they plant a tree on top of you.
Oh, that's quite nice.
And then, yeah, and it comes pre-made and then you can put that tree in the ground
when it's mature.
Yeah, right.
I'd rather be put in a firework.
You want to go in a firework?
You don't know where you'd end up, though.
You'll go in the wind. I'm dead. That's a firework. You want to go in a firework? You don't know where you'd end up, though. You'll go in the wind.
I'm dead.
That's a fair point.
You know?
It's a very fair point.
You need to be dramatic.
We're not asking about people, though.
We're asking about pets.
What did you do with them?
Did yours go somewhere interesting?
Amy's here.
Hi, Amy.
Hi, Amy.
Hi.
First of all, sorry for your loss.
What sort of animal are we talking about?
A horse.
A horse?
Oh, jeez.
Okay.
What are the options when it comes to horse? lost, what sort of animal are we talking about? A horse. Oh, jeez. Okay.
What are the options when it comes to horse?
I remember when our ponies that we had as kids, so we had two ponies and they were in love and one pony died and my dad had to dig a hole with the backhoe out in the paddock
and he put the pony in the hole and buried her.
And then the other one died of a broken heart like two weeks later. Oh, that's horrific.
And then he buried him next
to her. Yeah. With a
backhoe. Yeah. But you only had to dig a mini
hole. Because it was a pony.
Because it was a pony. Yeah. Amy, what happened to your horse?
Well, she was
30 years old and I had her since
she was two, so 28
years. She was 30, Amy?
Horses live to 30? She lived to 30, yeah. Wow, that's
incredible. And she died in her sleep
of natural causes, which was the most best outcome.
But it was still upsetting anyway. She died and she did
get buried in a hole, but about four months later
it was my birthday and my sister got a little miniature version
of her knitted by a lady with the same colours as the horse,
which is an unusual colour, and put the tail, for the real tail,
she'd cut off some of my dead horse's tail and used it for the mane
and the tail.
Oh, that's quite cute, Amy.
Very thoughtful from your sister.
Did you love that?
I do.
I do love it.
Yeah, so it's just like a little piece of your horse there with you.
Thanks, Amy.
That's unique.
Haven't heard of that before.
Cam Ansell from The Night Show came into the studio before
and said a friend of mine, when her dog passed away,
had it taxidermied.
Yeah.
And then had it taxidermied
so it looked like it was rollerblading
and then put rollerblades on all of its feet
and then used to drag it around like she was walking it.
Is that a real story?
That's what he said.
Is that the dog from Scrubs?
Look, I'm saying that's a real story.
Wow, that's one sick dog.
By the way, the average horse lives for 25 to 30 years.
In rare cases, domestic horses have lived into their 50s and 60s.
I've never heard of that.
I thought they lived like maybe 23, 24.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Charlotte's here.
Hi, Charlotte.
Hi, Charlotte.
Hi.
Sorry for your loss.
What sort of animal are we talking about?
A cat.
A cat, okay.
What did you do with the cat?
Bonsa passed away, Charlotte.
The cat went into the deep freezer.
Are they still there, Charlotte?
No.
Okay.
They were there for about six years, though, in the freezer.
You had a dead cat in the freezer for six years?
Yes.
You said cats.
Were there multiple cats in the freezer?
No, just one.
Okay.
Just one.
And then after, you know, obviously there was a time
where you had to do something about the dead cat in the freezer.
What did you do?
It went into the ground, so we moved house.
Oh, you were just waiting until you moved to the right place.
Yeah.
Mum knew we were moving and she wanted the cat to be in the right place.
Yeah.
Did anybody accidentally come across the cat and have a bit of a minor heart attack?
Well, I was quite a weird child.
And I used to...
You didn't take it out and play with it, did you?
You didn't use to take it out.
No.
I hope it was labelled really well because you didn't want it out and play with it, did you? You didn't use to take it out. I hope it was labelled really well
because you didn't want mum going down there
after a few bloody vinos going,
I'm going to make that rabbit shirt.
No, I used to take it out and tell people
that it was a birthday cake for my mum
and then I'd open it and it was a cat.
Charlotte.
You were a weird cat.
You were dark, Charlotte.
Yeah, I was. Psych, dead cat. I love it. Thanks. Charlotte. You were a weird cat. You were dark, Charlotte. Yeah, I was.
Psych.
Did cat.
I love it.
Thanks, Charlotte.
So dark.
Did you read the text about the dog?
No.
Someone said, my friend's mum had her dog made into a rug.
After it died, it got skinned.
Not the head.
I believe it was a border collie.
Oh.
Can they do that? It's. Oh. Can they do that?
It's too much.
Can they do that?
Megan, round us out.
What sort of animal are we talking about?
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, my God.
This is Ed.
First time calling.
Wait, wait, wait.
What did you just say?
First time caller.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Are you a first time caller?
First time caller.
Yeah.
First time caller.
Oh, Megan. Yeah. Are you a first-time caller? First-time caller. Yeah. First-time caller. First-time caller.
Oh, Megan.
First-time caller.
Oh, my God.
First-time caller.
We like to celebrate you here on the Brain Clit Show, Megan.
Oh, my God.
This is the first for us.
This is the first time this has ever happened to us.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. We had that made just for. This is the first time this has ever happened to us. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
We had that made just for you.
That made me blush.
That was exciting.
Oh, my God.
Now to really drop the tone, what happened to your dead animal?
Okay, so this is like, there's really two quick stories.
One's slightly traumatic, but the one's less traumatic.
There's also a horse.
Yeah.
My friend designed a horse when I was younger, and when he passed away,
we actually made a horse of a tail into paintbrushes. horse. Yeah. My friend designed a horse when I was younger, and when he passed away, we actually made a bit of a horse,
of a tail into paintbrushes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Right.
You painted the horse.
Okay, and what's the other one?
Yeah.
And so this is slightly traumatic,
but I was really young.
One of my rabbits passed away.
Yeah.
And I didn't know where it went,
and then a few weeks later,
I went to go put something in the compost,
and I noticed some fur. Oh, no. And I found out my dad had go put something in the compost, and I noticed some fur.
And I found out my dad had put the rabbit in the compost.
Dad?
Dad, not cool, Dad.
The music really doesn't match the story, does it?
No.
My dad put my dead rabbit in the compost.
Yeah.
It's dead. Put my dead rabbit in the compost. I've got a rabbit in my compost.
It's dead.
So I forced him to bury even the chickens in the garden from then on.
Oh, good on you, Megan.
Both ripping stories.
So why haven't you called till now?
You should have called way earlier.
Now, I'm actually profoundly deaf, so it's really hard to talk on the phone.
So this is really serious. Oh, you is really hard for you to hear us then.
You nailed it, Megan.
This must be nearly impossible.
You bloody killed it, mate.
We love you, Megan.
Call any time, okay?
Listen, thank you, guys.
See you, mate.
Who knew a chat about dead pets could be so much fun?
She was divine.
All the callers, great stories.

Claudia's going to run the game.
Hello, Claudia.
Hi.

Nah, Rihanna was the part I was positive on.
It was the name of the song.
I was a bit unsure.
The name is Cheers, but the brackets is drink to that.
But I was going to accept Cheers.
Oh, it's pretty good.
That's a good answer.

Keep us in it, Van.
Come on, Khan.

Yes, we can.
Van and Khan, here you go.

It was 100% Khan.
I feel like...
Khan, little K.
It was Khan.
Oh, I mean, it's so hard to tell.
I heard Van.
I've heard Van, Van.
But maybe it was Khan, Van.
I know Khan is on my team.
I'm not trying to be influential here. I believe was Khan Van. I'm not trying to, I know Khan is on my team. I'm not trying to be influential here.
I believe it was Khan.
I'm not trying to either.
I swear I heard Van.
There's Khan with a K.
I believe it was me too.
Van,
do you think it was you?
Do you think it was you
that got in first,
Van?
100%.
Oh,
no.
All right,
Khan.
Khan,
do you know the song?
Lose Yourself or Eminem.
Crushed it.
Oh, Van, I think we go back to the bloody replay on that, mate.
You will have to.
I'm so confused.
Should we go one more?
Should we go one more?
Why not?
Just Van and Khan.
Yeah, you guys back in, okay?
Okay.

Brain Club are back next.
The best bets.
I'm just telling you a story that might save your life one day
where a couple couldn't figure out what the fishy smell was
coming from their bedroom.
Turns out it was an electrical fault in one of the power sockets. Someone
text through and said this happened to Vaughan
while he was doing his renovations.
Really? Must be like quite a
common thing. Yeah.
Well, that is good advice then. I'm glad I know it now.
Can you imagine
people looking around in that room for ages.
This might be a dream. I'll be like, babe, come here.
I've got to sniff you.
Smell something fishy. Sniff you all over.
Sniff check.
We asked what's the mystery smell.
Someone texted and they said, not a mystery,
but one time my brother saved, in quotation marks,
a mouse from a cat and it got away from him
and hid in my car and it died somewhere else in the car.
It absolutely reeked for four months.
I sprayed air freshener, Febreze,
I burned incense inside my car.
I tried everything and I couldn't get rid of it until it completely decomposed, I guess.
I had to drive around with my head out the window for the first couple of weeks
and then windows down for the next three months through winter.
Nothing worse than a bad smelling car.
Yeah.
You know, because there's no getting away from it.
Yeah.
It is just there for life.
Let's go to the phone.
Let's talk to Tracy.
G'day, Tracy.
Hi, Trace.
G'day.
How are you going?
Good, thanks.
How are you doing?
Hello, mate.
What was the mystery smell for you, Tracy?
Oh, it was a dead rat.
Every time I came into the living area, I'd be like, there's a smell.
And I'd be like, oh, maybe someone just farted.
Days went by, and every time I came in the house, I'm like, there's a bit of a smell.
Yeah, there it is.
It would get really strong in the lounge.
And then I'm like, oh, no, there's something wrong here.
So I started hunting everywhere.
Under the couches, there's something wrong here. So I started hunting everywhere. Under the couches, there's something wrong.
Went in behind the curtain that was next to the TV,
and there was this big dead rat.
Oh!
The cat must have brought it in and partially killed it,
and it must have crawled in behind the curtain and died.
Isn't it so frustrating, Tracey, when you know, you're like... There's something here. My mum used to go through it all frustrating Tracy when you know
You're like
My mum used to go through it all the time when we were kids
She'd be like there's something dead in here
Where is it
But the worst
Part was
It had been in there for days
It had been degrading for want of a better word
And it had left this
Dark brown stinking
Dead rat juice on the curtain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those curtains are poked.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, they're stuffed.
Yeah.
She's supposed to have to ripple the carpet up as well.
Thanks, Trace.
Oh, what a nightmare.
Someone texted through and they said,
I found raw chicken in my car
after being in there for two weeks.
Fell out of the grocery bag.
That's rank.
Francesca's on her $800 at him. Hi, Francesca.
Hi, Francesca.
We're dry reaching in here, but what was the mystery
smell? It was my son.
He bought a car. About three weeks
later, there was a real fishy smell in it.
So they had to look through everything
under everything, inside the cushions, covers, and they couldn't find it.
Right.
It was worse.
So they took it to the electrician.
Sorry, the mechanic.
Yeah.
He said, no, no, no, take it to an auto electrician.
The auto electrician said, no, no, you're going to have to take the panels off the inside of the car.
Yeah.
So they started with the boot and took the bottom off, nothing, took the side off
and there was a crab
that was probably bigger than 60 centimetres
in width
that was dead in it. There was a dead crab
inside the car? Yeah,
inside the panel.
I have seen people on the internet
put a fish, like a dead fish
inside the door panel of a car
as like a prank before?
Do you think that the people who sold this car to your son
with a crab in the door as a joke?
They could have done.
We don't know.
Yeah.
Not the first time someone's caught crabs in a car either.
No.
Yeah, that's true.
You can have experience, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No comment, friends.
That is the crabs that you want your son to come home with, though, isn't it, Francesca?
Yeah.
Wow, his wife wouldn't have been happy.
Thank you, Francesca.
One more call from Zoe on Mystery Smells.
Hey, Zoe.
Hi, Zoe.
How's it going?
Can you top that, Zoe?
What was the mystery smell?
Well, I didn't get crammed, but I...
Congratulations.
Yeah.
Mystery smell was a dead bird.
Oh, no.
Not only a dead bird, but a very heavily megatized bird.
Oh, megatized.
What a great word.
Where was it, Zoe?
It was sitting under my couch.
Well, it wasn't sitting.
It was dead under my couch. And my it wasn't sitting. It was dead under my couch.
And my son had spilt some milk on the carpet probably about four weeks prior.
So I'm sitting there cleaning the carpet thinking it's the milk.
It's the milk.
Right, yeah.
And this went on for about four weeks.
And I don't know what made me decide to do it, but I split the couch.
And I was just like...
With the maggots and everything.
Oh, with the maggots.
It's over.
It is game over when there's maggots.
Did you see the text about the chicken bone?
No.
Did you see the one about the dog?
You go with the chicken bone.
There's a couple of good ones.
This one is crazy.
It says,
Our family friend's son had a very gross smell about him
for a couple of weeks.
The boy did?
Yeah.
Okay.
He was only three and they couldn't work out what it was.
They took him to the doctor and they found a small chicken bone up his nose.
It had rotting chicken meat on it.
Inside him?
In his nose.
Oh, thank God you found that.
Otherwise you'd be like, sorry, you have to live outside now.
It's over for you. We'll keep feeding you, but you have to live outside now. It's over for you.
We'll keep feeding you, but you have to live outside.
Can you imagine?
Stink boy.
You're like, what's wrong with Johnny?
He just stinks at the moment.
One other text, someone said our dog kept coming inside for three weeks smelling horrific.
It turns out she had found where dad buried the fish carcasses and was rolling around in them for the summer.
No.
That'd be a happy dog.
There's nothing worse.
And dog owners who have the dogs that roll and stuff, like my dog, Meryl,
so she'll go up to something dead and then she'll do this weird flip thing
where she wants to get it on the back of her neck and it reeks.
The dog, the people are like, there's a really fishy smell in here. Weird flip thing where she wants to get it on the back of her neck and it reeks.
The dog, the people are like, there's a really fishy smell in here.
And the dog goes, oh, maybe it's an electrical problem.
I think there's an electrical fault.
I think your wiring is melting.
I think that's a fire.
Call an electrician. Ow!
