Please tell me it was before and not after. No, it was before. Me and my boyfriend were there and they actually walked in after us,
Starting point is 00:03:05 and it was sort of locked eyes, and pulled the old man aside and said, look, you're too old. You've got to go. We were here first, Dad. Yeah, exactly. It just made it very awkward. Oh, my. This is one of the wildest stories we've had, definitely on Tradie vs. Lady,

Starting point is 00:05:34 Don't go. Mum, you can stay. You can stay because you're younger. Bree and Clint. We have just received a text message that could really be read either way. We've just got confirmation, but this is what the text message said. I don't want the confirmation yet. You read it cold.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Don't look. You read it cold with no inflection. Okay. This is the text message we received at 8 past 3. I changed radio stations in brackets after eight years because of you guys. And then it's an emoji with a little sweat mark on it. My afternoon time spent in the traffic, well worth it. Is that meaning they changed?
Starting point is 00:06:12 To us? To us or away from us? Because, let me read it to you like this. I changed radio station after eight years because of you guys. My afternoon spent in traffic, well worth it. Or I changed radio stations after eight years because of you guys. My afternoon time spent in the traffic, well worth it. Really hard to tell.
Starting point is 00:06:33 This is the problem with text messages. I've text back. Okay, okay. Just to make sure. And I said, wait, have you changed to us or away from us? Ha ha. Good to add the ha ha. You know.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Because it shows that you're a bit nervous, but not taking it too seriously. Just checking. Okay. They text back. To you guys, obviously. Yeah! We love you, whoever you are.
Starting point is 00:06:59 That's a lovely text to receive on a Friday. If you ever stop listening to the Brian Clint show, do not text us about it. No, don't. Please, we can't take it. Just do it and we won't know about it. Our ego cannot take it. I want to talk about belly buttons.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So if you have a fear of belly buttons, this might not be for you because this is going to be quite shocking, the information. There's a doctor that does his thing on TikTok and he's spoken about belly button hygiene. Right. And why you should be washing your belly button.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Oh, not another thing. Not another thing. I don't think I've ever in the shower went, oh, time to wash my belly button. Between that and having to wash my reusable drink bottle, life is so hard. I thought you were going to say something else then. I thought you were going to say something else then. I thought you were going to say something else.
Starting point is 00:07:48 There's a lot of things in the shower I don't wash. We've talked about it on the show before. Including the shower. Yeah. Your legs. Don't really get down there and scrub my legs. You haven't asked me my position on belly button. I know you don't wash it.
Starting point is 00:08:02 How do you know? I can just tell. You've never showered with me. Show me your belly button now and I can tell from don't wash it. How do you know? I can just tell. You've never showered with me. Show me your belly button now and I can tell from just looking at it. Ready? No, because you're going to make it sound dirty. No, I won't. Okay, let me have a look. Oh, I can
Starting point is 00:08:13 see the dirt in it from here. You cannot. I can. You cannot. Producers, someone come in here. No, no, no, no, no, no. And I want a second opinion. I'm telling you. You can, I can see like a black bit in there. Oh, this is no, no, no, no. And I want a second opinion. I'm telling you. I can see like a black bit in there. Oh, this is disgusting. All right, producer Ella's come in.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Okay. Oh, no. It's a tunnel. It's a cave. All right, get out. Mate, I'm no better than you. I don't wash my belly button either. I don't wash my belly button.
Starting point is 00:08:42 If you put your finger in your belly button, do it now and smell it. No, I'm not doing that. No, I'm keeping whatever dignity I still have. Claudia, do you wash your belly button? I wouldn't say every time, but sometimes, yeah. Do you? God, you're better than us. Do you have it pierced? No? Yeah, people with piercings definitely
Starting point is 00:08:59 would more often. Ella, do you wash your belly button? Sometimes I do play with it, so does that count? No, wash it. No. No. Oh, my God. Let's play the audio from the doctor about why you should have good hygiene for your belly button.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I'm going to explain how your body makes its own natural jewellery. All flesh holes can build up with sweat, dead skin cells, oils, clothing fabric, bacteria and forbidden cheese. If not washed out on a regular basis, this material can accumulate and harden into an onphalolith, a belly button stone. Belly button stones come in a wide array of colours. It's usually black but can be a light brown. That is not a doctor.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Stop bringing this to the show. No doctor would use the term forbidden cheese. There's no doctor in the world that would describe it as forbidden cheese. That's the medical term. His name's Dr. Raj. I think you've got a belly button stone. Yuck. What do you want to ask? I'm starting to feel queasy. I want to ask people. Let's just take a poll this afternoon. Do you wash your belly button? Yes or no? I feel like it's going to be more no or maybe, oh,
Starting point is 00:10:07 did you just put your finger in your belly button? It's fine. Go on, smell it. Ask the question again. Go on. Do you wash your belly button? Yes or no? You can text us on 9696 or you can give us a call 0800 dials at M.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Oh, who put this song here? You ain't here to here? Perfect timing. Bree and Clint, you're on ZM. Bree and Clint. A fitting song as we're asking you about your belly buttons. Which, have you ever thought, technically, a big scar? Yeah, and also, technically, a mouth that you don't use anymore. Yeah, that's where you used to eat from.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Belly buttons are so weird. This conversation is disgusting, but it's quite revealing as well. It's quite interesting to know these things that not many of us really talk about. It's an intimate conversation. Isn't it? We've asked you, do you wash specifically in your belly button? Yeah, do you wash that on the regular? Because you and I have put our hands up and said no.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I wish I hadn't, by the way. I wish I'd lied. Why? Just be honest. Because I feel like I'm being othered. I thought we would be in the majority. Yeah, I don't think we are. It turns out you and I bit disgusting. Someone's texted and they said,
Starting point is 00:11:21 you two have both of my kids fingering their belly button now just to sniff it. I reckon there'd be so many people in traffic touching their belly button and having a sniff. Let's go to John Henry on 0800-DARLS-AT-HEM. Hi, John Henry. Hi, John. Hey, how's it? Good, thanks, John.
Starting point is 00:11:38 John, tell us, do you wash your belly button regularly? No, mine was actually worse when I called through and I was actually 18 years old and I found out that you actually have to wash your butt cracker. John! Stop it! I was having a shower with Mumsy one time and she goes,
Starting point is 00:11:55 are you going to wash your butt cracker? I go, what? I'm supposed to do that? And she goes, uh... Wait. John Henry, you're lying to us. John Henry, did you just say you were having a shower with your mum when you were 18 is that
Starting point is 00:12:07 oh no mum's here the missus the missus oh gee okay okay
Starting point is 00:12:11 my mum's not listening she's a little fucking spit out a drink sorry oh John Henry you are loosey goosey okay can we just confirm
Starting point is 00:12:19 that you are washing your butt crack now you are eh yep I've been doing it for 10 years now congratulations when's the anniversary?
Starting point is 00:12:28 It was on the 15th of June. Congratulations. Good on you, John. Well done. Well done. Don't tell him about the other fragrance zones. I feel like he's probably
Starting point is 00:12:36 got it under control now. Do you? He's a 28. No, I'm not confident. Someone said, my girlfriend enjoys pulling lint out of my belly button.
Starting point is 00:12:44 As a male, there is almost nothing more violating. I can see that, yeah. I can see how that's violating. Someone said, three girls here, we don't wash our belly buttons, but we've just checked them and they don't smell, so it's okay.
Starting point is 00:12:58 All three of you checked them together. That's quite nice, isn't it? Yeah, just a little fun thing to do together. We wash our belly buttons, but we sniff them and they... Oh, yeah, okay. Someone's... Yes, I wash my belly button, especially because I've got a laparoscopy,
Starting point is 00:13:12 and if I don't clean it, then I get thrush. What? Well, there you go. In your belly button? Yeah. Is that a thing? Yeah. This text is quite interesting
Starting point is 00:13:20 and something we haven't delved into for this conversation. I think it depends if you have an outie or an innie belly button to wash it. In my case, I don't wash it because it's an outie, but not all the way out. Ha-ha. So you don't need to wash it because it's on the outside. Yeah. Is that what they're saying?
Starting point is 00:13:38 I feel like I'd love like an in-between innie outie belly button. Yeah, right. I feel like that's the best case. Because you can kind of see, like I can't see the bottom of my belly button. Yeah, right. I feel like that's the best case. Because you can kind of see, like I can't see the bottom of my belly button. Can you? You know that person who said they changed radio stations
Starting point is 00:13:50 after eight years to listen to us? Yeah, I think we just lost them. Do you reckon they're changing back? Yeah, no, I don't think they're here anymore. I think they left ages ago. Yeah. Bree and Clint. Listen up, anyone with a smartwatch
Starting point is 00:14:01 or a Fitbit or anyone who tracks their steps, there's news from the European Society of Cardiology on how many steps you actually need to be doing. Because there's been a lot of back and forth about this in the last couple of years. Yeah, it's been revealed that 10,000 was a made-up number. Yeah, who came up with 10,000?
Starting point is 00:14:23 Because I want to write them a letter. Because for a long time I felt bad about not doing 10,000 steps a day. Yeah, it's a made-up number. Yeah. It's good. It's good to have a goal, but it's a made-up number. Don't need it. Puts a lot of pressure on your day.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Too much pressure on your joints, I heard. So you're going to be really happy about this. Forget 10,000 steps. According to the European Society of Cardiology, walking a minimum of 4,000 steps a day will significantly reduce your risk of an early death. 4,000 steps. Good to go. While taking only 2,337 steps, very specific, a day,
Starting point is 00:15:06 will reduce your risk of death specifically from cardiovascular disease. Okay. So 2,300 steps a day will keep your heart healthy. God, this is the type of news we need. It says, it does say more is better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's the minute. I don't need to hear that.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I don't need to hear that. About time we got this news because after all the too much sitting down will give you cancer. We needed some good stuff. It does say anything below 5,000 steps a day is considered a sedentary lifestyle, but doesn't say dangerously sedentary. What if I go for a walk though? Yeah, what if you go for a walk though. Yeah, what if you go for a walk? Like if I go for a 30-minute walk and that's included
Starting point is 00:15:48 and I do like 4,000 steps, technically I'm exercising. Oh, and then you do no more steps for the rest of the day. Yeah, I've done them. Hit it and quit it. Well, I can't answer that. What I am interested in is crossing live to notoriously low-stepping producer Claudia, who we've spoken in the past. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I never thought. Can finish a day with an incredibly low number of steps, can't you, Claude? Yeah, I'm really good at just like doing nothing at home, driving to work, parking right outside and sitting at my desk all day. I never ever thought I'd see the day, producer Claude, where I'd be out low-stepped on this show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Out sedentary. But you, yeah, out sedated. Out sedated. So the new goal is 4,000. Claudia, have you checked your steps for the day? Do you want my day or do you want my average? I want your day. I want your day today.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Okay. So today it's almost 4 o'clock. How many steps for Claudia? 2,047. Claudia. 2,000 and what? 47. You'll get to 2,300 by the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:16:53 That means she's in the green. Just. Yeah, I need to walk back to my car, which is like two blocks away. Perfect. It is only three o'clock though, so let's get a daily average from Claudia. Yeah. Okay, Claudia, what does an average day look like for you? It's going to be worse.
Starting point is 00:17:07 3,900. Not bad. That's close. We round it up. You just need to do 100 more steps. We round it up. Well, it's 3,929, so only 71 more to go. Girl, you need to enrol in a jump jam class.
Starting point is 00:17:21 You also round it up to the nearest thousand, So, I mean, 5,000 pretty much. Yeah, we're well above. Yeah, 5,000 a day. That's pretty good. 5,000 is the nearest thousand to 3,900. Yeah, but like it's already too close to 4,000. So, you rounded up to the next. Oh, this is Swedish rounding.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah, yeah, Swedish. It's a carry the one type of. Anyway, if you've done your 4,000 steps for the day, chill out, take a break, take a load off. Put your feet up. Might go for a walk. Yeah, I think you should. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Do you work somewhere that has good work perks? Might be better or might be worse than this company that's in the news at the moment. It's a tech transport start-up company over in Australia called Outbound, and they launched a new work perk this week. What's a tech transport startup? I'm assuming like Uber.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Something like that. Right. Along those lines. Like what's the cars where you can rent it? Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, like if it's in your area. Azumi? Yeah, you can rent and ride. Yeah. That kind of thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, like if it's in your area. Azumi? Yeah, you can rent and ride.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah. That kind of thing. Okay, yeah, sweet. They launched the work perk at their company this week called Electric Car Club. Sure. Which is a group of communal Teslas which staff working in the building can borrow or rent. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:45 So this is how it works. So it's all about encouraging staff to walk or catch public transport to the office and the cars are available to them. During the day. During the day. But here's the catch, right? Yeah. So if it's for work-related purposes, so you can use the Teslas for free.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah. So if you're going out to see a client or you need to do... So you should. You know? Yeah. So you should. But if it's for a personal errand, then you need to rent it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:17 And how much do you think this company is charging people to rent the Teslas? So you can either rent it for a full weekend or you can rent it by the hour. If it's meant to be a work perk, if it's meant to be a perk, I wouldn't want to pay more than $50 to rent that Tesla for the weekend. The weekend. Okay. $220 for a full
Starting point is 00:19:37 weekend if you want to rent it or $20 for an hour. I can rent one of those from Hertz. Thanks very much. I can get a Tesla for that price from budget. Seems like a lot, $20 an hour. Seems like the company's trying to make money off you
Starting point is 00:19:54 and pretending that it's a work perk. Especially when they're charging the car's battery. Yeah. You know? I wonder if that adds up. They're just trying to get their money back for their Teslas that they wanted to buy. Yeah. You know? I wonder if that adds up. They're just trying to get their money back for their Teslas that they wanted to buy. Yeah. They say the company Outbound says the Teslas will allow staff to save on vehicle and parking costs
Starting point is 00:20:14 without giving up the convenience of having a car at work, which I kind of get that. That is kind of a good idea. Yeah. I had friends when I was at high school who worked for, should we say? No, let's not say. They worked for a big supermarket. Right. There's not many.
Starting point is 00:20:29 No, there's not many. But there were more when I was at school. Gotcha. Except this one's still around. No, I'm just kidding. And their work perk was that they got one cent off their purchases. What, off each purchase? No.
Starting point is 00:20:42 One cent off their bill when they bought stuff. Off their whole bill? Off their whole bill, they got one cent. And I was like that- Why even have that? Why even have it? There must have been a reason. There must have been some sort of tax reason.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I think it was to show that you, a way of like accounting for who was buying stuff. I don't know, but- Oh, that's- But that's one of those ones where you go, I'd rather you didn't. That's off, isn't it? Yeah. Don't like that.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Yeah. Don't like that at all. I thought we could ask this afternoon. I love hearing about these when people have really good work perks. Oh, you want good work perks? Actually, you know, let's take any work perk or even something your work says is a perk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But might not necessarily be a perk.
Starting point is 00:21:28 You tell us what the perk is at your work and we'll tell you whether it's good or bad. Yeah. Yeah. We'll decide if it's a perk or not. We'll give you an outsider's opinion. Bree and Clint. Let's talk to Jasmine first.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Hi, Jasmine. Hi, Jasmine. Hi there, how are you? Good, thanks. Tell us, Jazz, what's the work perk you get? Okay, so we get free trailer hire, we get free hot drinks when we're on a shift, and we get half-price
Starting point is 00:21:52 pies. Oh, yeah, I'm into that. I'm gonna say that's an ups. Yeah, that's a positive. Oh, yeah, that's a... Do you work in, like, a service station or something? Yeah, I work at Mobile. Oh, there you go. I worked in service stations for a long time.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Did you get that? A long time. No, we used to get free magazines. Nudie magazines, I heard. You stole them and put them under your bed. No, Brie, we got all magazines. Oh, that was for off-air. Okay. We got all magazines.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Jasmine knows what I'm talking about. Yep. Thanks, Jasmine. Appreciate the call. Listen to this text that's come through for work perks. For every $1,000 we save the company in operating costs, we get 40 hours of annual leave added to our holidays. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:22:33 It's a whole extra week of leave. Where is that place? I need to work there. And how do you save them $1,000 of operating costs? Are you running around turning off all the light switches behind people? How long does it take to save $1,000? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:48 How hard is it? I work at Lion Breweries. We have a free work gym and a free work bar, a super liquor card that gets company, the company puts 50 bucks a month on for free
Starting point is 00:22:59 and a 15% annual work bonus. I love my company. Lion Breweries can't end. And you work for a brewery. God, that place sounds amazing. Yeah. It's just across the road. Is it?
Starting point is 00:23:11 Yeah. Should we go after this? I reckon. Yeah. Go head up the bar. This person wants to be anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Hello. You're a flight attendant. What's your work perk? Oh, no, I'm a travel agent. Oh, okay. It's not really, not in our company we get work perks, but just being like an agent, we get lots of discounts with suppliers, like 40% off Kentucky's or sometimes airlines do like discounted rates for agents.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Yeah. You'd have all the ins and outs of the discounts for holidays, wouldn't you? Yeah. Yeah, I try to. When we get the emails, we'll try and grab them. Yeah, for sure. If you're going on a holiday, say you're going to Italy, and you regularly book your clients into a certain accommodation
Starting point is 00:23:55 or put them on a certain experience in Italy, would you email that hotel and be like, hey, I'm actually coming over for my own holiday. Don't know if you know, but I've sent 300 customers your way in the last two years. Can you give it to me for free? Yeah. Yeah, I may have done that.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And so you should, Anonymous. Nobody would judge you for it. Thanks, Anonymous. That's great. Someone texted her and said, free work perk, morning tea and lunch provided and free daycare for children under six. Wow. Where is under six. Wow. Where is that place?
Starting point is 00:24:27 Wow. That sounds awesome. Someone else said work perk at our work is the team gets to finish at 2.30 every Friday, but we're paid like we're working till 4.30. We work our asses off every other day though. So good. When I worked at Hoyts, the movies, we got two 50 cent movie tickets a day,
Starting point is 00:24:48 $3 regular combos and ice creams for $3 as well. Pretty good. Wasn't bad if... Oh no, don't read the rest of it. No, they just said that they don't like dealing with customers, can be rude. Oh, I thought... Which is fair enough. Like retail... Wasn't bad if you ignore the fact we work in customer
Starting point is 00:25:04 service and people are rude for no reason all the time. That makes me so angry. Why are people rude to people like working at the cinema? Like you're going to a movie. What do you have to be grumpy about? Absolutely. I love this one. One more text.
Starting point is 00:25:17 They said, I work at the Ministry of something and something. We get free glasses every year and an extra sick days for our kids. And we have cool lanyards. Free glasses. How good. Abby's here. Hi, Abby. Hi, Abby.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Hi. Your work perk sounds interesting. What is it? Yeah. So I recently found out about it when I actually was leaving. So I have left this company. But one of our perks is that we get our funeral covered. Keeping in mind I am 22 years
Starting point is 00:25:52 old. I wasn't really looking at that. But I did tell some of my older work colleagues that I was planning on leaving and they're like, no, no, you have to stay because your funeral gets covered. So I was so tempted. Is no, I haven't. Is that like a weird way of getting you to stay at that workplace? It's a weird perk, isn't it? Or is the job like prone to dying? Can you tell us what the industry was?
Starting point is 00:26:17 Yes, it was farmers actually, so retail. So I could have died from a Karen coming in potentially, but other than that. Farmers is a great Kiwi business. I thought it was going to see Karen coming in potentially. Farmer's a great Kiwi business. I thought it was going to be like a funeral home for, you know. Yeah, but it's just a retail store. Why would they need to cover your funeral?
Starting point is 00:26:34 I wonder if they... Maybe a perk just trying to get us to stay a bit longer. I'm not too sure. Do you have to die on the job to get the funeral? Because what if you retire? Do you then forego your funeral? I'll be honest with you guys. I never actually looked into the fine print because I just was like,
Starting point is 00:26:50 oh, I guess this doesn't really apply to me. You never know. You should have looked into it. Maybe you got to pick out your coffin or something. How fun. Oh, my gosh. That would be so fun. Installing it in your house.
Starting point is 00:27:03 That's why I'm an adult now, like waiting to pick out my coffin. Yeah, I mean. Okay. Hey, thanks, Abby. I hope you never have to cash in your free funeral. Thank you for calling us. Thank you. Thanks, Abby.

Starting point is 00:31:19 No idea. No idea. Is it midnight? It's from the Midnight album. It's called Bejeweled. Midnight. Of course it's Bejeweled. Of course it is.

Starting point is 00:32:25 at the KFC Chicken Dollars. Congratulations. Oh, thank you. You did well, Aaron. You did well. Good job. Nice work, everyone. We're all but messy today, to be honest. We were, eh? Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Zed in Brie and Clint. Ermagerd, it's Lurd in green light. I love Lurd. I love Lurd. I love me some Lurd. They should hang Lurd in the Lerv. They should hang Lurd in the Lerv. Hey, that Virgin Galactic flight went up yesterday.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Now, this is different to the blue penis rocket that Jeff Bezos shot into space. And it's different to the Elon Musk rocket that he shot into space. It's even different to the Richard Branson rocket that he shot into space. All these billionaires shooting their penis rockets off. Yeah, but whose rocket went the highest? Who's got the biggest
Starting point is 00:33:20 rocket though, am I right? Who's got the hardest thrust? My rocket's about eight metres long. How big's your rocket, Geoff? At least six inches. Yeah, but it's not about how long it is, Clint. It's about how wide the rocket is. It's about how wide it is.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Sorry. This is the one that you will have seen in videos for about five years where a plane takes it up to a certain altitude. That's right, and drops it. And then releases it, and then a rocket thruster comes out the back
Starting point is 00:33:49 and it takes off even higher. Just sounds like something I don't want to go on. It's made for you to go on, though. It's a tourist rocket. So this is meant to be the way that average people get to go into outer space. And I say average people with strong air quotations. Average people, more like the richest of the rich.
Starting point is 00:34:07 So let's go through the details first before I give you the price. Okay. Because that's how I sell it. What do you get? I've got to get you on the hook first. Do they give you complimentary peanuts? I don't believe so. No, I don't think there's any food on this.
Starting point is 00:34:17 It's a 90-minute flight to the edge of space. You will be 80 kilometres above the Earth's surface. 80 kilometres. God, your ears would 80 kilometres above the Earth's surface. 80 kilometres. God, your ears would pop, wouldn't they? Definitely. Your ears would just pop real bad. Yeah. You know when those Air New Zealand suckies,
Starting point is 00:34:33 your ears pop back down. Do people call them Air New Zealand suckies? They should. When you're up there, you will get five minutes of weightlessness. So you get to a certain- That would be pretty cool. It would. So you're in zero gravity.
Starting point is 00:34:48 And when that happens, they tell you, and then you get to take your seatbelt off and you get to float around the cabin of the plane. And for that five minutes, you get to experience true weightlessness. Yeah, that'd be pretty fun. Yeah. That's what you go for.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Well, and the view, but that as well. That also. I wonder how much view, but that as well. That also. I wonder how much cooler it is than being like underwater. I guess you can breathe, but if you got up there and you're like, oh, it just feels like swimming, you'd be like, could have done that on earth. Yeah, it probably is quite a similar feeling. Yeah. Because when you're submerged in water, it does take a lot of the weight from you.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So for that, a ticket on the Virgin Galactic space plane. How much are we paying? They're looking to do monthly flights at the moment. Okay. That's what they reckon the demand is at. Once a month. Once a month. If you'd like to go on the next one, in New Zealand dollars, it will cost you $750,000.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Oh my Lord. That is way more than I thought it was going to be. Three quarters of a million dollars for a 90 minute flight and five minutes of weightlessness. But you will be one of the only people in the world who's ever experienced that. So...
Starting point is 00:35:58 I mean, as we said before, it's the richest of the rich. And they exist. How much do you reckon? There are people out there. There's enough people out there that have invested enough money to develop it. Of course there are.
Starting point is 00:36:11 How much do you reckon like when the first commercial flights were happening, how much do you reckon a ticket would have cost? I'd love to know. But it was for wealthy people. How much? What should I Google? How much were the tickets on the first commercial flight?
Starting point is 00:36:28 Good question. It'll be like threepence. The very first commercial flight took off 100 years ago. Yeah. Oh, this article was from 2014. Yeah. And it said it cost $400 and lasted 23 minutes.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Wow. I wonder what that $400 is the equivalent of. $400 back in 1914. Yeah. Would have cost, that would have been a fortune. That would have been the same as this. The same. I don't know. Nah, maybe not the same, but still a lot.
Starting point is 00:36:58 So this is a tourist plane. The first tourist in space ever was an American guy named Dennis Tito in 2001. He paid the equivalent of $33 million to Russia to go with the cosmonauts. He flew to the International Space Station where he spent a week up there. Okay. Do you reckon he got back from that trip and went, oh, you know, $33 million might leave a bit of a bad review on TripAdvisor. Three stars.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Not worth it. Bree and Clint. Time for Friday Okie. Ladies and gentlemen, Bree and Clint's Friday Okie. Time to sing. Time for you to decide who the winner of Friday Oki is. This is our singing competition. Bree and I have done the mahi.
Starting point is 00:37:53 We've spent time with Sam. He's our audio engineer. And we've done the best job we can on this Taylor Swift song. You heard this one? I have heard it a couple of times. Yeah, yeah. Massive hit from Taylor Swift. This is the one with the screaming goat in it.
Starting point is 00:38:13 That is correct. It is. We've done the non-screaming goat version, though. Yes. And I guess we just do it, right? Let's just do it. Just rip the band-aid off. Just get into it. We always, something on this show I know on Friday Oaky is you and I.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Yeah. Very good at Taylor Swift songs. Yeah, that's a really good point. Taylor Swift. That's a great consideration. Both in our range. She's in our wheelhouse. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Who picked this one? You did. Oh. Okay. All right. This is how it works. I'm going to play mine and then we're going to play Bree's And then after you've heard both
Starting point is 00:38:47 We want people to call up On 0800 dials at M And pick the winner Alright I'm so keen to hear it Good luck mate Thank you This is my Taylor Swift
Starting point is 00:38:56 I remember when we broke up The first time Saying this is it I've had enough Cause like We hadn't seen each other in a month When you said you needed space What? Then you come around again and say
Starting point is 00:39:11 Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change Trust me, remember how that lasted for a day I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh We called it off again last night But ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

I was like, no, it's not there. It's not going to happen. You've got to go low. I've got to go low. You've got to go low.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Maybe I'm finally learning. Sometimes you've got to go low. Sometimes when they go high, I go low. I don't think I learnt, and I'm pretty sure from memory I've gone high. Well, like you said, let's just do it. Let's rip the band-aid off. Rip the band-aid off. It'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:40:22 It'll be fine. What's the worst that can happen? What's the worst that can happen? Here's Breeze Taylor Swift for Friday Oki. I remember when we broke up the first time saying this is it I've had enough cause like we hadn't seen each
Starting point is 00:40:34 other in a month when you said you needed space. What? Then you come around again and say baby I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change. Trust me. Remember how that lasted for a day. I say I hate you. We break up. You call me, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me Remember how that lasted for a day? I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Getting back together.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Like ever. I didn't get the memo and I did the goat version. Oh, you did the goat. Is that what that was? Yeah, no, I did the goat. I thought I heard shades of goat in there. I did the goat version and now I feel embarrassed because you didn't and I did. Man, we're good at singing, eh? Holy.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I feel like we play to our strengths every week. Holy smokes. Someone said, Bree, sounds like a mosquito that won't leave you alone. I agree.

Starting point is 00:41:58 The Friday before we kick off our big Taylor Swift competition, who has done the best Taylor Swift for Friday-oke? I think they're going to take the tickets off of us after that. Taylor's people will get in touch. They're calling now. That's not cool, guys. You are never, ever, ever, ever getting tickets again after that. 0800 dials it in.

Starting point is 00:49:41 You've got to catch them all. You've got to catch them all. Kiha, I'm voting for your song to win Friday Oki. Kiha, I'm going with you too, my friend. You like Pokemon. You've got to catch them all. You've got to catch them all. Kiha, I'm voting for your song to win Friday, okay? Kiha, I'm going with you too, my friend. You've won. You're the winner. Have a great weekend, man. See you, mate.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Here you go. Brian Clintz. Coming straight out of 2006 this afternoon. It's your birthday banger on ZM. Let's delve into the murky world of combined finances in a relationship. A young woman is being urged to break off her engagement after revealing her fiancé refuses to pull their finances despite earning four times her salary. Whoa! Maybe that's why he doesn't want to pull their finances despite earning four times her salary. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Maybe that's why he doesn't want to pull them. She posted in an online forum asking... I think that's definitely why. Yeah. Yeah. She's asking, am I being unreasonable? She said her fiance refuses to combine their money now. He refuses to combine once they're married.
Starting point is 00:50:44 He even said he won't combine finances if they go on to have kids together. Oh, no. See, that's where it's a red flag for me. Straight away, red flag. It's a pretty easy one for me. As soon as you're having kids with someone else, and obviously they're both your children, the finances are combined. She is earning the equivalent of 80 grand a year. Obviously, they're both your children. The finances are combined.
Starting point is 00:51:08 She is earning the equivalent of 80 grand a year. Oh, pretty good. Yeah, they're both doing fine. Her fiance is earning over 300,000 a year. Jeez. Big monies. She asked, what would happen if we decide to have kids in the future and I had to go on maternity leave? He said he would set up a joint
Starting point is 00:51:25 account that he would put amounts of money in, but their finances would not be combined because he needs to keep surplus money for savings. Oh, he sounds... Nah. Well, you know what? Each to their own. That's his opinion.
Starting point is 00:51:41 That person would not be for me in a relationship. It doesn't work for me either. And I thought it was fairly black and white. If you've got kids with someone and you're the female in the relationship, you sacrifice your career, you sacrifice your place in the workforce to be at home and look after the children, it means... You need to be supported. It means you need to be supported and that means your partner,
Starting point is 00:52:06 everything you guys earn and then, you know, if you go back to work part-time It means you need to be supported, and that means your partner, everything you guys earn, and then if you go back to work part-time and then you look after the kids, it's combined. Totally. I think everybody would agree on the baby front. So let's take the baby bit out of the conversation. Let's take that out of it. And let's just take long-term relationships and combined finances. Because that's different.
Starting point is 00:52:19 With babies out of it, different. Claude, you own a house with your partner, correct? Correct. And you don't believe that, you do need to pull finances. Nah, I mean, we don't have kids in the equation, so that's fine. But yeah, we have like a joint account for the house, which we pay all the bills out of and
Starting point is 00:52:33 we put pretty much the same in there all the time. And then everything else is ours. The money I make is mine, the money she makes is hers. If you were to get married though, would there be a conversation around that or nah? Probably not. If you would have though, would there be a conversation around that or nah? Probably not. If you would have kids, would there be a conversation?
Starting point is 00:52:48 Oh, yeah, probably. Oh, see, there you go. Isn't that interesting? But you've got a dog. Yeah. But that's joint. Yeah, that's from the joint account. Yeah, we pretty much split everything 50-50.
Starting point is 00:52:59 So if there's ever a bill or if we're buying something for the house, it's all 50-50. It's the same in my relationship. But what if one of you in the relationship down the track gets a new job and gets like real rich and then the other one, but no, no, I know it's fine, but then they are a really wealthy person in the relationship.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Yeah, and that's their money. They deserve it. And you're not, but you live in the same house. That's fine. And they're like, I'm going to go to a nice restaurant this weekend and then you're like, I'm not. See, we'd go together.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's no expectation that things will be paid for but if you're earning more generally you'd be like oh i'll get this one i was gonna say see i feel like if that was me and i was the person earning like a considerable amount more i would just automatically pay for extra things or i'd pay for like you know if i was earning a ton money, I would just pay for a holiday. Yeah. You know, and just take the conversation. Yeah, I probably would too.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Yeah. I just wouldn't want there to be an expectation that like you're earning lots of money. Means you have to pay more. That's fair. Yeah, gotcha. That's fair. We're getting a lot of- I get what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:53:57 A lot of messages from people saying that children is where it switches. Yeah. 100%. That doesn't matter the marriage thing. There's no grey area when there's children for me it's when we bought a house we combined our money
Starting point is 00:54:07 but everybody is different but they're saying once kids are in the equation it definitely changes yeah kids is definitely it back to that very specific example that we read out before though
Starting point is 00:54:16 we've got a text message here from someone that says family lawyer here in regards to what you guys are talking about under financial abuse
Starting point is 00:54:24 under New Zealand that's financial abuse under New Zealand, that's financial abuse under New Zealand law. Girl needs to dump him and take half of those savings. I agree. I agree with them. I feel like that's the biggest red flag that he has said, even when we have kids,
Starting point is 00:54:40 I will control the money and I will give you what I think you deserve. You know what that's, oh, no, no thanks. You know what this comes down to is you really need to be on the same page when it comes to money with somebody for a relationship to work. Because none of us are right or wrong. It's just, it's all, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:58 It can be a friction point, right? And if you find someone that's on the same page as you, then that's good. But that would definitely not be the same page for me. That woman is dating a tight ass, so. And she's entitled to half. Whew! Jeez, I don't want to have this conversation anytime soon with anyone else.
Starting point is 00:55:16 I'm exhausted. Bree and Clint. Had an interesting thought the other day, guys, and I thought we could all discuss. Yeah. Producers, I want you to weigh in on this topic. Ella, I don't know if you will be able to, maybe, because you are vegan, but you would have had them in the past.
Starting point is 00:55:35 True. So you could weigh in. What is the worst type of eggs? Human. Quail. Guys, this is a serious conversation. So these are the options. These are the options.
Starting point is 00:55:54 It's obviously scrambled. Why is this a serious conversation, by the way? Because I need an answer. Okay, sure. Because I have my opinion. Yeah. Because I had this very strong thought. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:03 But I need you guys to weigh in because I want to know your opinion. Yeah. And people listening, if you want to text the text machine 9696, what are the worst type of eggs? And I think these are our options. Scrambled. Hard boiled. Yep. Soft boiled. Yep.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Poached. Yep. Fried. Yep. I think that's it. What about eggs Florentine? No. That that's it. What about eggs Florentine? No, that's not counted. What is eggs Florentine? I don't know. No, not counted. What about meringue?
Starting point is 00:56:31 No, not counted. What about omelette? No, not counted. No, omelette's counted. No, it's not because omelette is a meal. You add other things to the omelette. It's basically a scramble. It's a heavy scramble.
Starting point is 00:56:42 It's pretty much a scramble. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so they're your options. Out of those, what is the worst type of eggs? Easy. Easy. Okay, hold on. I'm real nervous because I
Starting point is 00:56:53 have my opinion about it. Do you guys want to try and sync up? Should we go one, two, three? Oh gosh. Ella, are you in on this or are you out of this? I'm out. Okay. And that's your decision. That's your choice. And that's your decision. That's your choice.
Starting point is 00:57:06 We respect your vegan decision. We're not going to force you to comment on which eggs are the worst. You should have done tofu eggs. Okay. Well, clearly they would be the worst. Let's see if we've synced up. Okay. Just joking.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I'm joking. Say the worst type of egg in three, two, one. Hard-boiled. Oh, okay. Poached eggs are definitely the worst. They're the best. They're the best. They are the worst.
Starting point is 00:57:29 They're the best, but they're the hardest to do, so I don't do them, which adds to how good they are because they're rare. Oh, I'm really good at them. They're the worst. Why? They're just a shitty version of all the other types of egg. Nah, bro. A good poached egg on toast.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Wasn't a poached egg in your salad today? No. Was it? Yeah. It was runny. It was too runny. You did leave a lot of it behind. Yeah, because it was too runny. And when the white bit is runny. No, we didn't say what's the worst type of bad eggs. That's why I said sunny side up.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Sunny side up fried eggs. Yeah, because when the white gets left a little bit runny. But more than likely. You know how to avoid that? Flip it. No, you put a lid on the pan like a glass lid on the pan. Oh, too much admin. It'll reflect the heat back down and cook the top of the egg as well. Then you've got to wash that. You've got to wash it. No, you don't. Or you just flip it.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, just flip it. Hard-boiled is definitely the worst. Hard-boiled's delish. And it goes, the yellow's all chalky and shit. What about hard-boiled? You need hard-boiled to make an egg salad sandwich. You need hard-boiled to make deviled eggs. Oh, deviled eggs.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Oh, you're getting rid of all these delicious options. No, that doesn't count. If omelette doesn't count, then deviled eggs doesn't count. Let's be real. If poached eggs didn't have bloody hollandaise, they'd be the shittest type of egg. No, they're great on toast with salt and pepper. The only reason they're good is because they have bloody hollandaise. They'd be the shittest type of egg. No, disagree. No, they're great on toast with salt and pepper.
Starting point is 00:58:47 The only reason they're good is because they got hollandaise as their partner. No, you're so wrong. You're so wrong. Disagree. You're so wrong. No, I hate them. Well, they're so hard to get right. So unless you were like the most amazing person at poached eggs,
Starting point is 00:59:02 then they're always bad. I'll make you some eggs. Yeah. You need good poached eggs, then they're always bad. I'll make you some eggs. Yeah. You need good poached eggs. Does that mean the only egg that we can agree on is scrambled? As a threesome? I do such good scrambled. If we were having a sleepover, the three of us, and someone got up to cook breakfast,
Starting point is 00:59:15 the only egg that would appease the whole group is scrambled. Yeah. Here is another question. Do you add any milk or cream to your scrambled eggs? I used to. I've stopped. I just add butter to the pan.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Same. Butter to the pan, chives in the scramble. Gordon Ramsay's scrambled eggs changed it for me. And you leave the scramble runny. Is that how you guys do it? No. No. Ducky.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Oh, you guys aren't doing it right. This could go on forever. You flip it lightly, leave it a little touch runny. Perfect. Anyway. All right. Turns out I'm wrong. Turns out it lightly, leave it a little touch runny. Perfect. Anyway. All right. Turns out I'm wrong. Turns out poached eggs are the best.
Starting point is 00:59:49 All right. Can I just say congratulations to everyone for no one making a fertilised egg joke in that segment. We've really come a long way. We really have. We really have. We've matured. Haven't we just?
Starting point is 00:59:59 A bit like a fertilised egg. Damn! Damn it!
