The ZM Podcast Network. Just a heads up, if there's kids listening, this podcast intro has some dirty content in it.
Hello everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast. Feet Brodie Kane. Feet Lil' Kane.
Lil' Kane's not your rap name? Just came up with it just then. It's not bad. Yeah. Lil' Kane.
B-Rockerer Not B Rocker
Oh that's like a play on Barocca too
That's quite clever
Yeah
B Nizzle
B Nizzle
Yeah
B J
No
B J
Oh my god
I'm not sure if that one will stick
Well I mean
I reckon it'll stick
It's whether you want it to stick is the issue.
And the nicknames that stick are the ones you don't want.
True.
Oh, dear.
I should have thought of that before it ended.
Oh, no, stop that too.
A lot of guinea pig content on the front part of the show today.
You're welcome.
And what doesn't really happen much in the show
is your guinea pigs end up joining us.
Yeah.
My sister, Lucy, who's here, thanks.
She bought them. Thanks for bringing in the guinea pigs. up joining us. Yeah. My sister, Lucy, who's here, thanks. She bought them.
Lucy, thanks for bringing in the guinea pigs.
Mm.
Yeah.
Thank you.
They're delivered express from Auckland's North Shore.
Yep.
We brought them over just because we said we didn't like guinea pigs.
Yeah, and to be honest, I didn't like the slander,
so I tried to prove you wrong.
I like that about you.
Well, but the thing is, right, okay,
so as I said to you, they are very cute,
and I love animals, and I think animals are great, but as I said to you, they are very cute. And I love animals and I think animals are great.
But as far as pets go, I still double down.
Waste of time.
Waste of time.
Yeah.
The smile on your face when you were holding it, though.
I know, but then I got to give it back.
Yeah.
It's like a baby.
Yeah.
Oh, that's nuts.
My thinking is at least they're warm.
They're not like a lizard that are like cold and stiff and just do nothing, you know?
It's like a hot water bottle.
A lizard?
Like a bearded dragon.
My wife is big on a bearded dragon.
They look really cool, but I've held one before and I just felt nothing, you know?
All right, Clint.
It was not a metaphor.
It was not.
I wasn't the one.
Way to bring the toes down.
I wasn't the one who laughed.
I wasn't the one that laughed, although mine is bearded. But I was not the one who laughed. I wasn't the one that laughed. Although mine is bearded.
But I was not the one who laughed.
No!
She likes a bearded dragon.
Bad love.
I'm going home after that.
Yeah, no, that's...
Hey, hey.
Eat each to their own.
Don't yuck someone's yum, alright?
Exactly.
And every pet sounds rude if you think about it like that.
Like, clawed into the hairy chinchilla.
Oh, God.
Some people like a nice little pussy.
I like that when you say it like that.
I like the sphinx ones, the hairless ones.
Hairless pussies.
Guys. What?
They are
This podcast has gone to the dogs
They are
We need to get her back
And get some decorum
Back on this podcast
Putting a warning
There's one thing
Brie Tomasella's known for
It's decorum
Absolutely
Class
Yeah that's why I've tried to be
As filthy as possible
Someone text us in
And they say
I saw this
Let's check if it's appropriate
To read one second Oh god That's always a worry If you've got to check Someone text us in and they see. I saw this. Let's check if it's appropriate to read.
One second.
Oh, God.
That's always a worry if you've got to check whether it's appropriate.
Read it out and we'll tell you if it's appropriate.
That's a good idea.
You can check with us.
Let's do that.
Sounds like Brie caught a cold and ditched the Aussie twang.
Referring to you.
Caught a cold.
Hey, that's not the worst I've had.
I'll take that.
Yeah? Yeah, I once got the worst I've had. I'll take that. Yeah?
Yeah, I once got, when I worked on Breakfast,
I once got told I looked like Christian Cullen
with a wig and lipstick on.
That's so mean.
Trolls, they'll get you.
Oh my God.
Hey, hey.
How did that one sit with you?
Well, I laughed because I was like,
they've really thought about that.
They've really sat there.
And the problem is, what made me be able to sleep at night, I was like, you've thought way too much about me.
You've thought way too much about me.
You hate me, but you're still thinking about me.
Ha ha, sucker.
And going to the effort of messaging it in.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's good.
Oh, yeah.
Christian Cullen with a wig and lippy.
Hey, he's good looking, Marusa.
One of the greatest rugby players of all time.
The single greatest fullback of all time. Yeah. So, can't good. Oh, yeah. Christian Cullen with a wig and lippy. Hey, he's good looking, Rusek. One of the greatest rugby players of all time. The single greatest fullback of all time.
Yeah.
So, can't complain.
Yeah, I know that too.
You're like, thank you.
He's my favourite.
Yeah, exactly.
And I'm sure he'd look great in lipstick and a wig.
I've had a couple times where people are like, oh, you look like this specific person.
And I'm like, oh, I don't know who that is.
So, they show me a picture.
And every time I'm like, what? No, I don't like that. I don't like when people specific person. And I'm like, oh, I don't know who that is. So they show me a picture. And every time I'm like, what?
No, I don't like that.
I don't like when people do that because I'm like you.
It's always someone who I think is, like, not attractive.
Not as attractive as you.
Thank you.
That makes me feel great.
You feel amazing.
I was at Big Gay Out once in Auckland.
And this group of very flamboyant men called me over.
They recognised me from the radio.
And they said, Clint, Clint, Clint. my partner and I have to tell you this.
We've been thinking it for ages.
We've figured out who your doppelganger is.
Oh, no.
And awkwardly I said to them, is it Calvin Harris?
And they went, what?
No, it's Ricky Gervais.
What?
Let me Google.
No, I'm going to Google.
No, absolutely not.
Which I've said before
And it takes a second to sink in
Oh, for goodness sake
Not this again
It might be rooted in truth
The issue is
That same big gay out
Three different times
At the same festival
From three different groups
I was told
That I bore a striking resemblance
To Ricky Gervais
Look at me
I don't see it
No
No, not at all
Definitely not
I don't think so Maybe it was what I was Maybe it was the look I was rocking at the time No, I don't see it no no definitely not i i don't think so maybe it was what i was maybe it
was the look i was rocking at the time no what a ricky gervais look i don't know a bare belly and
a v-neck t-shirt yeah a pair of black jeans and black shoes yeah i don't know oh no but i do i i
i'm a firm believer that you shouldn't tell anyone that unless you know that you're going to glow them up, right?
Well, yeah.
I don't know how someone thought this would be nice after the ball.
So the ball was on Saturday.
On Monday, they were just like,
oh, you look really different from Saturday to now.
Obviously, I'm not dressed up or wearing makeup.
I'm at uni.
Yeah.
When people say, oh, you look nice today.
That's a dick thing to say.
Yeah, absolutely.
My mate the other day, we were catching up and we were looking through some Dancing with the Stars photos.
She was like, look how skinny you were.
Oh, wow.
I was like, that was only a couple of months ago.
She was like, oh, I didn't mean that.
You were just really fit.

Oh, mate.
The questions are on fire today.
Top-tier questions? Yep, mate, the questions are on fire today. Top tier questions?
Yep.
Okay.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Tradie versus lady.
Welcome to it, our daily competition
to find the smartest tradie and or lady in the country.
The scores for the year are 91 games to the tradies
and 73 games to the country. The scores for the year are 91 games to the tradies and 73 games
to the ladies.
So that would mean that
it would take
two, three, nearly
four weeks. Of straight victories.
Yeah, for the ladies. For the ladies to regain the lead.
Yeah. Yeah. Do you like my
maths then? Two, three,
four. Yeah, okay.
It's quite hard, but it's not impossible.
The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time, right?
That's exactly what they say, Claire.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Oh, my God.
You're not wrong.
You're not wrong.
C'est la vie.
When you wake up, open your eyes and you'll see the world.
And at the end of the day, it's night time.
Let's go to our lady.
She's from West Auckland.
She's 44 and she loves to watch TikTok.
Welcome to the show, Natasha.
Natasha.
Hello.
Yes, I can hear you.
You're watching TikTok.
Are you doing any TikTok dances on there as well?
I am, but I'm not recording myself.
It's too embarrassing.
Hey, that's fair enough.
So you just do the dances, but you don't hit record?
No, I just do them with my daughter, but we don't record.
Oh, fun.
Okay.
What are your favourite TikToks to watch?
Anything really.
Like, yes, anything that comes on.
I just scroll down and just laugh to myself sometimes.
All right, very good.
You're taking it out of Tradie today.
He's 23, and he was a sniper in the Army.
Welcome to the show, Eric.
Hey, how you doing?
Hey, Eric.
Hang on a minute.
Hang on a minute there.
You're 23, and you're already
retired as an army sniper.
Is that right? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, got a bit old, eh?
And obviously because snipers are
also allowed to be so public with their jobs.
How many kills have you got, Eric?
Zero.
Zero.
That's why you had to retire.
When you were a sniper, what part of the
New Zealand Army were you in?
I was in the 2nd 1st Battalion down in Burnham.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Is that a real thing?
Brodie was in the Army, so.
You can text me.
Okay.
All right, Eric.

All right.
So which country has the highest life expectancy?
Hong Kong, Sweden, or Japan?

No, you've had your turn, Eric.
Come on, Natasha.
There's only two options.

He sniped it.
I would have thought SAS was snipers, right?
I'd say so, yeah.
Bree and Clint.
If you get our podcast, which comes out each night,
you'll already know this scoop because it was on last night's intro.
If you don't, this will be new news to you.
I mean, it's not breaking news.
I've overhyped it now.
Producer Ella's got herself a new pet.
Isn't there two?
Well, there is two.
Ella, are they at your house?
They've moved in, these new pets?
Yes, they have.
Against my mother's will.
She didn't know.
So you live with your mum
and she doesn't know about the pets that you've got?
It was very impulsive.
I did a bad thing.
I was just going to see them
and then when I was holding them,
I was like, oh, I have to take them now.
That's how I ended up with a dog.
But you don't live at your mum's house.
That's true.
You're actually in charge of...
Yeah, I'm a big girl.
Yeah, yeah.
I crossed a line.
You did. Okay, so you've got... We've got I'm a big girl. Yeah, yeah, you bet. I crossed a line. You did.
Okay, so you've got... We've got to do the big reveal.
Oh, do the big reveal.
Ella, what did you get?
Two guinea pigs.
Guinea pigs.
So I've just got a question.
So where were you when you were holding said guinea pigs
and you were like, oh, I must have these?
At the trade me guy's house.
At the trade me guy's house.
Make it sound like you just happened upon them,
like you were at a petting zoo or something.
You actively contacted this person and went to his house.
Yeah, I did that on Friday night
and then I thought about it as I was going to sleep.
Like, I shouldn't do it.
I'll just go see.
Oh, so you did sleep on it as well?
Yeah.
How much does a guinea pig off Trade Me cost?
They were 45 all up.
It's pretty cheap here.
I know.
How much did that guinea pig hutch that you've got cost?
60 bucks.
All in a day's work, by the way.
That's cheap as well.
I know.
What do you feed guinea pigs?
Scratch, is it?
Yeah, carrots.
Grass and carrots.
And their poos are fine because it's literally grass and hay.
What about that cat that looks like it's licking its chops
sitting on top of your guinea pig cage?
Oh, yes, my cat, Billy, she guards the guinea pigs.
I know, it's quite cute.
So that the other cats don't eat them before she does.
She's not guarding them, by the way.
Is there a dog as well?
Yeah.
So we have five animals all up,
and I found a pony ent Tramie for five grand.
So that's the next one. No, you're not getting a pony
Ella. Can I just
say to you, and I say this with love
and as a former guinea pig wrangler
myself, I've had seven guinea pigs as
a child. Cute.
The worst pet. Clint, as you're
looking at this photo right now, the cutest
photo ever of my baby guinea pig
in my hand. How can you say that?
That guinea pig does not want to be in your hand.
It's so cute.
That guinea pig will not do anything.
It will not do any tricks.
It will not give you love.
It doesn't want to be near you.
It doesn't even want to be picked up by you.
Yeah, I think you tried too hard.
You tried too hard.
You're not going to get anything out of it.
It's not an enjoyable relationship.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Are you listening to yourself?
Yes.
What's going to be the highlight of your relationship with your guinea pig?
Oh, when they go...
And looking at you going...
That's when they like you.
They go...
Has it done that yet?
Yes.
And it goes in my neck and makes that sound.
And then pissed on my mum's bed.
Yeah, exactly right.
You can't control the toilet business of a guinea pig.
You can't toilet train them.
They run away.
Yeah.
Okay, well, get this.
You can't pick up a human and pat it and put it in your neck.
You can do that with a guinea pig.
Well, no one said you should get a human.
They're terrible.
No, but I'm saying you can pat a guinea pig,
you can put it and hang out with it and talk to it,
and it won't talk back to you.
It'll just be your friend.
I think you'll get bored.
Yeah, I will just put it out there.
I'll say guinea pig. I'm happy
for you, but I think it's a terrible pet idea.
I say that as someone who's had guinea pigs.
I remember
we were at primary
school or kindy.
Remember there used to be a school?
Was it school or kindy? It'd be like the
school guinea pig and everyone would turn it.
Or the rabbit.
We had chickens. There's another useless animal.
Rabbits.
Pet rabbits.
My teacher taught us in primary school with a rat climbing around in here.
No, no.
Yeah, she did.
I took it home.
They always smell like urine as well.
I want to open the phone lines this afternoon,
and it might be a bit negative, but I want to ask, what's the worst pet?
Of all the species on all the earth that you can keep as a pet
here in Aotearoa, New Zealand, what's the worst one?
Maybe in your experience,
maybe you have a family member who's had one
and you just never want to have one because of that.
Brodie, what do you reckon the worst pet is?
I mean, I probably would say, if it was just in New Zealand, the guinea pigs.
Oh, my God.
Or the rabbits.
You're just saying that to wind me up.
No, no.
But also, like, goldfish can be hectic.
Yeah, there you go.
Because mum used to have some
that I was supposed to be looking after for a mate once.
Yes.
And then mum kept getting them.
But they're a punish
because they get bigger and bigger and bigger
and then they die.
So grim.
I'll wait $100 and then we'll text to 9696. Let's put the list
together this afternoon. What is the worst
pet you can have?
Bree and Clint. I tell you what, mate, we
have angered the guinea pig
community of Aotearoa.
We have really touched on a
guinea nerve. We have, I know.
We've even got people that's kids are yelling at the radio in the car.
Guinea pigs rule.
My girls in the car are yelling at the radio.
They are cute, cuddly and easy to train.
Introducing Panda, Lucy and Coco.
Easy to train?
Can we send you a picture?
For what?
How do you train a guinea pig?
What are you training them for?
Running a half marathon with you?
Oh, take them round the bays on Saturday.
What are you training a guinea
pig for? Good point.
Producer Ella has just got two guinea pigs. Do they have
names? No, that's the thing.
So I was thinking of naming them after my
two great aunties,
Gwenda and Phyllis, because they're
quite funny names. It's quite good guinea
pig names to be fair. Yeah.
Do you plan to train these guinea pigs to do anything?
Well, I haven't thought about it.
I could.
Well, I'm going to tell you something,
and this is actually taking this little segment to a serious turn, all right?
What?
Well, we've had a message about how you should properly care for guinea pigs, all right?
Okay. Please look at KV Care New Zealand to learn about proper care.
They're way smarter and far more work
than most people realise.
One of the most neglected pets in the country,
along with rabbits,
because people do not properly understand
the care they need.
I sense some sarcasm going on in your voice.
No, no, no.
I'm with Brodie,
and this is more of a listen to you, Ella,
who is 21, about to turn 22,
has got some illegal guinea pigs at her mum's house
without asking mum.
Are you going to go flatting and leave these guinea pigs behind?
That was a good point mum brought up.
I'm not going to lie.
And I'll take them with me.
Because are you going to find a flat that lets you have guinea pigs?
I'll be fine.
These are my kids.
I have to have them, and I will deal with it
and find a flat that's guinea pig friendly.
What about when you need to go on a bender?
Who's going to look after the guinea pigs?
Yeah, see, I have to organise a babysitter.
It's a whole thing.
What's the life expectancy?
It's 2.30.
I've got to go home.
I've got to feed my guinea pigs.
Guys, I've got to feed the guinea pigs.
I've got two guinea pigs to think of.
I need to know how long they live.
Five to seven years. I Googled it.
We want to know what's the worst pet if it's not guinea pigs.
Levi's called up.
Levi, what do you reckon the worst pet is?
I'm going to have to say a possum.
Do you have a pet possum?
So my mum's friend's daughter, she was about five or six,
she bought a baby possum home.
Had no choice, so they raised it.
Now they've got a big possum just walking around the house.
They raised a possum in New Zealand?
Yeah, yeah, just a wild possum.
Because do you know that in Australia, that is quite common?
They're protected.
Yeah, and they are.
I think Bree's family have like a family possum on the property.
Yeah, and I think they're a little bit more cute
than maybe a New Zealand possum.
They're vicious possums in my experience, Levi.
What's this one like?
He's house-trained.
Imagine a possum cruising around.
Do you know the possum?
Just quickly, do you know the possum's name?
I don't know, no.
That's a real shame.
Okay, thank you, Levi.
We'll put possum down on the list of worst possible pets you could have.
Debbie's here.
Hi, Debbie.
Hi, how's it going?
We're good.
What's the worst pet, according to you?
A goat.
What's wrong with goats?
I think they were good for keeping the lawn short.
Oh, that's about it.
But they bleat all day.
And if they get off, they get on top of barbecues, on top of cars, on top of anything.
Because they look, I always feel sorry for them
when you see those goats along the side of the road
just sitting on their, like, little shed,
and you're like, oh, it's a low life for a goat.
Have you come home to a goat on top of your barbecue before, Debbie?
Yes, we had two goats.
And they scream, they're screaming stuff.
They do.
They do.
They bleed like crazy, even if you've just fed them.
Have you still got them, the goats?
No, we gave them away, thankfully,
because I found out they lived till about 20.
Oh, my God.
Okay, well, say hi to your goats.
They might be listening.
What were their names?
Bill and Ben.
Bill and Ben.
All right, if you're listening, Bill and Ben,
hope you guys are doing well out there and you're not,
you're still on the barbecue and not in the barbecue.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah,
there you go.
All right,
which is the short list,
guinea pigs,
possums,
and goats.
Yeah,
someone else had a pet sheep,
was a total a-hole,
would ride on the back
of the four-wheeler
and bite the back of your neck
if you didn't feed it hay.
Would also headbutt the doors
in the house
wanting to come inside.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean said this is juicy.
Margot Robbie has spoken out about how she feels about being replaced
as Harley Quinn by Lady Gaga, Dean.
Yes, she has.
So just to refresh everyone's memory memory when Jacob two comes out,
which was such a joke.
It was obviously so dark played by Joaquin Phoenix.
The next one is going to have Lady Gaga playing Harley Quinn.
Now it's a musical.
So it's,
I know that sounds a bit wild,
but yes,
it's going to be musical.
And as we know,
Lady Gaga is a phenomenally talented singer.
And so everyone's like,
wait a second,
they've replaced it,
replaced Margot Robbie with Lady
Gaga. It's a very, very different storyline, very, very different theme and vibe. And Margot Robbie
has finally spoken out. She's like, it's kind of like, this was exactly the response that I
expected from her. She was like, look, I'm just so happy that I was able to build the foundation
for this character. She got that character really on the map. And now other people can come in and take and make their own, you know,
renditions of it.
And like, look at Batman.
How many different people have played Batman and Spider-Man?
So he was kind of saying, you know, like it's a character
and there are going to be lots of different people playing it.
And Gaga's voice, like I don't think, I can't think of anyone
that could do Harley Quinn in this new rendition,
a musical version with Clark Keane, Billy Kinnick as good as Gaga.
It's going to be phenomenal.
And a dark version of Harley Quinn too.
Lady Gaga's the perfect person.
How weird is it to switch up an existing movie to be a musical?
It's like if the next Fast and Furious movie came out.
Fast and Furious 23.
I think that's what we're up to.
And all of a sudden Vin Diesel's singing.
I've got nothing against musicals, but the first one wasn't a musical,
but the second one is.
It would be like, I'm in my Mitsubishi Evo.
Drop it low.
Oh, my God.
Stop it.
Stop it.
No, keep going.
And I'm going real fast down the road, and you see me in my Evo, yo.
Oh, my God.
You're going to go and see that?
You're going to go and see that, Dean're going to go and see that, Dean?
Oh my God.
Yeah, you're wasted on radio, babe.
You need your own musical theatre show.
I need a musical Fast and Furious movie.
Get her on Broadway ASAP.
There you go.
That's the latest live out of Los Angeles
finale with correspondent Dean McCarthy.
Live radio, eh?
No take backs.
Wowee.
We want to know this afternoon,
when did you get some severe bill shock?
You're like,
eh, I did not sign up for that much money.
I don't even have that much money.
Who do you think you're charging?
Or the worst thing is,
like the person that said
that they thought
that they were going to get a tax return.
And so this is the trouble when you spend the money.
Before you've got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That gets you a few times.
Classic with the tax return too.
Someone texted and they said, I ordered two glasses of wine in Tauranga.
They were $61.
Oh, that's outrageous.
It was only rosé served by the glass.
You're right.
For $61, I want the freaking bottle.
Actually, there's a funny little story.
Mum and Dad were in Europe a few years, many years ago, actually.
And they were in Monaco.
And the Grand Prix and that was on.
And they were like, oh, this is quite cool.
And so they went and they sat down at this little cafe.
And Dad ordered a long black coffee and Mum ordered a Heineken.
And then the bill came and it was 81 euros.
For a coffee and a Heineken? Yeah.
To be fair, Monaco looks like the richest place
on earth. Yeah, and I guess because the Grand Prix
was on, they were like, oh my god,
that's our budget for the next three days.
Luke's here. Hi Luke.
Hey, how are you? Tell us about your bill
shock.
$180 on water
at a restaurant.
Sparkling. Sparkling.
Sparkling water.
No, not even sparkling.
It was still water and
we just did not know that it came with
a price tag. There was about 15 of us
out for dinner and we just drank the water.
What country?
New Zealand and Hamilton.
You paid how much?
A hundred and what?
A hundred and eighty.
You paid a hundred and eighty dollars for table water in Hamilton?
Yeah.
Oh.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
I guess if there was 15 of you.
No, Clint.
And the bottle, yeah, yeah, rough.
Yeah.
I mean, if you were at Prego and you were ordering sparkling.
Even then I'd be pissed off.
I don't care how fancy the restaurant is.
I don't want to pay for the water.
I don't.
Unbelievable.
Becca's here.
Hi, Becca.
Hey.
What was your pill shock?
So it literally just happened.
I've just come out of the supermarket.
I was just popping in, getting a few things for tea for the next couple of nights.
$260.
That's happening a bit at the moment.
Don't you reckon that's the problem?
It always happens when you go in for a couple of things.
When you go in for 800 things because you're organised,
it's only $50 more.
You go in for a cheese, a hot chook, a bottle of wine,
and all of a sudden it's $300.
But then you go, oh, we're out of dishwasher tablets, $25.
Yeah, no, stay away from of dishwasher tablets, $25. Yeah.
Yeah, no, stay away from the supermarket.
They're dangerous.
Well, no, don't stay away from the supermarket.
That's how we get our food.
Well, no, I don't have any other alternative options really, do I?
Sasha's here.
Hi, Sasha.
Hi.
What was your bill shock?
I'd taken my rabbit to the vet thinking that it was going to be max a $500 bill,
but it ended up being $3,000.
What was wrong with the rabbit?
He had this thing called
geostasis, which basically means their stomach
stops digesting,
but didn't realise
that they take more medication than a
dog, so they ended up
charging a lot more than expected.
Did you pay the $3,000?
I had to get a loan out
to be able to pay it off. And did your rabbit
survive?
Yep, yep, he's kicking, he's kicking.
Is he good now? Is he right as rain?
Yep, he's perfect now,
but his count's not so great.
Yeah, that's it.
Unfortunately, you go to the vet and you may as
well just take out another mortgage every time. I imagine rabbit procedures aren't that's it. Unfortunately, you go to the vet and you may as well just take out another mortgage every time.
I imagine rabbit procedures aren't that cheap either.
Well, probably quite.
Well, we have to get the rabbit specialist in.
Yeah, there wouldn't be many of them.
Anonymous is here.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
You got bill shock on your car repairs?
Yep.
Go on.
So quoted nine grand.
I accepted it, signed the quote.
Yeah.
And got the bill back a couple of weeks ago at $26,000.
$26,000?
Oh, wait, that's a whole car.
I have a question.
What kind of repair requires, first of all, $9,000?
Well, vintage car.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
What kind of car? Volkswagen. Okay. Okay. What kind of car?
Volkswagen.
Okay.
Okay.
What kind of Volkswagen?
A very old one.
Right.
Okay.
And so what does it need?
Well, it started out with just like a few rust bubbles, and it turns out the people
who owned it before me just bogged her all up and repainted.
So I've got to check with you.
Did they carry out the $26,000 worth of work and then give you the bill?
Or did they go, it's going to cost $26,000, shall we do the work?
No, they didn't ring an eye.
Okay, okay.
All right, you know what you're doing now.
This is Brodie who used to be on Fair Go, by the way.
You get off the phone and you email Fair Go.
I have seen the work they've done.
She's waiting to go to the paint shop yet.
I have the car back, thankfully.
You're going to pay it, aren't you?
No.
You're going to pay it.
I've paid the nine that I accepted.
Okay.
And I have asked for a detailed invoice on the rest of the money.
Yeah.
And I am going to say I'll pay half.
Yeah, okay. Okay. Okay. Hey, good, good, good. Hold your ground. Hold your money. Yeah. And I am going to say I'll pay half. Yeah, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, good, good, good.
Hold your ground.
Hold your ground.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, eh?
All right.
You can get a brand new Volkswagen for that much money, you know?
I mean, not as cool, but still.
Bree and Clint.
Brodie, how many friends do you have?
Oh, lots.
I love people.
Yeah?
Yeah.
How many good friends? Oh, gosh. I do you have? Lots. I love people. Yeah? Yeah. How many good friends?
Oh, gosh.
I'll give you some context.
Like good friends, friends who would lend you $100
without asking why you need it
and friends who, if you were out on your ass,
would let you stay at their house.
I've got lots of really good friends.
Do you?
But also what I think is interesting,
yeah, I'd say definitely 10. Yeah. Probably more.
Okay. Because I've got,
I love having relationships with people that
are still your really good friends. You know
that they're your good friends. You might not see them
for six months, but the minute you see them again,
bang, it's just like nothing changed. I think that's
what a really good friend is. Yeah. You can just pick up
where you left off. Yeah. And there's no guilt.
They're like, you haven't DM'd me in ages.
Exactly. So you've got a lot of,
you know,
because people's lives
change in circumstances.
But I think you and I
are quite similar
in that regard.
I don't think that's how
friend relationships
operate for everybody.
Like people need
different things, right?
Yeah.
But how many friends
do you need?
There's an anthropologist
by the name of
Professor Robin Dunbar.
He's put a number on it.
He's told you exactly
how many friends
as a person you need
in your support network. I predict
that it's a single digit.
It is a single digit? Yeah.
It is a single digit. It's less than you probably
think you need. These are really good
friends. According
to Professor Robert Dunbar,
five. Oh, that
doesn't surprise me because that's that saying.
So he's saying that he's come up with this.
Well, he's just copied the saying.
Isn't the saying, you only need as many friends as you can count on your hand?
Isn't that what it is?
Five ride or dies.
Yeah, I guess it is.
He's just come out and been like, guys, I've been studying this for years.
And it's like, mate, it's already on like a quote book.
It's been there for years.
No, no, no, but he's confirmed it.
Oh, has he?
Yeah.
Well, I could have confirmed it.
No, you couldn't. You're not confirmed it. Oh, has he? Yeah. Well, I could have confirmed it. No, you couldn't.
You're not an anthropologist.
There's more, though.
Those are your ride or dies.
You're type five.
It's not so much need.
You can have five is what he's saying.
He's like, no matter how tight you think you are with people,
ultimately you only have a really, really, really good relationship with five people.
Right. But it broadens
out. You can have 15
really good friends. They're the
kinds that you would catch up with
one-on-one regularly.
Like it wouldn't be weird for you to sit down with
this person and have a drink for a
couple of hours. 15 of those
in your life. That's what you've got the capacity
for.
50 friend, friends, the kind of people that you would see in a group and would join that group for a drink if you bumped into them at the pub, but you wouldn't actively go,
you and me should go out for dinner.
No, see, I think I would, no.
See, I think I'd have easily 50 people that I'd still go out for dinner with.
One on one? Yeah. Regularly? Absolutely. Regularly. I think I'd have easily 50 people that I'd still go out for dinner with. One-on-one?
Yeah.
Regularly?
Absolutely.
Regularly.
Oh, no one's going out for dinner regularly, Clint.
We're in a crisis.
We'll pass the crisis.
Aren't we back to the...
I don't know.
No.
Aren't we at the bit where we're pretending the crisis is over?
No.
No, I just mean...
I am.
I just mean there definitely would be 50 people that if you said,
right, you're going to pick a person, I could easily be like,
there's 50 people I'd love to go for dinner with tomorrow night.
Well, you're a very social person.
You're a very social butterfly.
You can have 150 meaningful contacts.
Not necessarily friends, 150 meaningful contacts is what he says.
But he doesn't comment on there being like 900 Facebook friends.
No.
No, and that's the problem.
You don't have 900 friends.
No.
You might have 900 Facebook friends, you don't have 900 friends.
Some interesting facts.
New friendships, according to this anthropologist,
take 34 hours of one-on-one time to cultivate.
New friendships.
Wow.
Okay.
In that time, you would spend an ideal duration of three hours and 40 minutes per interaction together over the course of six months.
That's how you create a friend, according to this anthropologist.
You hang out with them for 34 hours total and three and three quarter hour bursts.
Okay.
I've got a question for you.
Yeah.
I'm going to kind of slightly derail this,
but I think this is an important way
to maybe establish how many friends you have.
If you died tomorrow,
how many people do you think
that would go to your funeral?
Oh, jeez.
I don't know.
I don't know.
See, because I think mine would pack in quite large.
I mean, we say,
oh, you don't have 800 Facebook friends.
I think 800 people would go to my funeral.
You get 800 people at your funeral?
I reckon. Yeah? Yeah. There's only't have 800 Facebook friends. I think 800 people will go to my funeral. You get 800 people at your funeral? I reckon.
Yeah?
Yeah.
There's only one way to find out.
Fake your death.
Bree and Clint.
ZM's Bree and Clint.
Hello, everybody.
Bree and Clint with Brodie Cain filling in for Bree.
If you were listening to the show from 3 o'clock today
when we were slandering guinea pigs,
what an interesting turn of events this is.
Well, I mean, I do
feel a bit mean because Ella's so passionate
and so excited about the fact that she's got
these two new guinea pigs
and we did offend the guinea pig community.
We did, yeah. And now what have we got in our hot little hands?
We have two of the most adorable little
guinea pigs. Look at this teeny
tiny one. Your one is like a little
furry nugget. The whole little guinea pig fits in one this teeny tiny one. Your one is like a little furry nugget.
The whole little guinea pig fits in one hand.
Yours is a bit ugly.
Hey.
It is.
Don't listen to her.
It is alright.
Don't listen to her.
But my one is absolutely gorgie.
And I've been feeding her a wee carrot,
but she's so useless, as we said,
that she can't even get it in her mouth.
Ella, do these guinea pigs have names
yet? Yeah, so the one you're holding
is, I'm trying it, Phyllis.
And your one, Brodie, is maybe Gwenda.
Oh, I think that's a Gwenda
look at you. Short for syphilis?
No.
Phyllis.
That's a name on its own.
It's a great name.
Look at Gwenda.
She's like,
I don't want to eat this carrot.
I don't want to eat this carrot.
What are you doing?
Hello.
Hello.
All right.
Or maybe we're guinea pig people now.
No, we're not.
Oh, we're not.
Because what?
Are you not nearly bored?
We'll get rid of this guinea pig then.
Are you not nearly bored?
Because I'm like,
cool, I won't even eat the carrot.
I've got carrot all over my hand.
It's cute.
But where are we going with this relationship?
Next on the show, we had the Inspired Unemployed in studio with us yesterday and they
told us something that one
of them had done on a date, which I think
might be one of the most cringeworthy things
you can do on a date. Definitely
on a first date, you know? Or
is it a power move? See, if he'd
done it to me, I'd be like, alright. Really?
It would have worked? Let's go home.
We're going to discuss that next.
And we're going to try and figure out cringy first date things to do.
Sorry, I'm trying to start the next song with a guinea pig in my hand.
He's got it.
I just want to preface this by saying,
if you're the sort of person who gets really tense when they get awkward,
get ready to tense up, everybody.
This is like tight bumhole type tense.
I can give you a quick one that happened to me.
Not a date, though.
Yeah.
One night stand.
Oh, yeah.
Climbed out the window.
Yeah.
Got down the end of the driveway.
You did?
Yep.
Yeah.
Climbed out the window, got down the end of the driveway, was like,
where's my phone?
After you'd climbed out their window?
Yeah.
Walked back up the driveway and he was waiting with the window open
just with the phone.
I was like, thank you.
Good to catch up.
Did you guys ever see each other again?
No.
Nah.
Anyway.
Let's get your phone back.
Exactly.
We've asked you what is the most cringeworthy thing you have done
on a first date.
And my gosh, there are some good stories coming in.
I mean, I'm not surprised.
Yeah.
Because it's particularly in the Tinder space, right?
Absolutely.
Someone said a guy I was on a date with talked all night about his cat and called it baby.
Oh, okay.
No.
No, that's absolutely not acceptable.
The guy I was on a date with told me his wife had died three weeks earlier.
Oh, my God.
That's not mucking around, is it?
Where do you go to from there?
Deb's called in.
Hi, Deb.
Hello.
Deb, hi.
What's the most cringey thing that happened to you on a date?
So I went out on a date, first date with a guy.
We went out for coffee, and then after the coffee,
he took me to his car to proceed to show me some photos of himself bodybuilding.
Nice.
Nice.
So, yeah, I mean, he wasn't well-looking bodybuilding-wise,
so it was just bizarre.
I was a bit self-indulgent.
I bet.
Then he asked me to go jean shopping with him.
Did you go?
Yeah, I did go.
Did you?
I did go on a second date.
Yeah.
I was just interested to see his style.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, this was back before phones and things like that, you know.
Yeah.
Oh, so they were photo photos.
Photo photos.
He bought the album with him.
Oh, yeah.
God, blimey.
Okay.
Like, in his boots.
They were in the boot of his car.
Oh, my God.
Did you end it at two dates?
What was that?
Sorry?
Did you finish up with that person
after two dates? No, just one date.
No, that was one date and no more
dates after that. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
It was just a long date. Someone said, I'm a pharmacist.
A semi-professional rugby player
asked if I could hook him up with some sleeping
tablets.
Are they still on those, the sleeping
tablets and the Red Bulls? Oh, I couldn't
possibly comment. Remember a bunch of All Blacks did them during the Rugby World Cup?
Yes.
We're going to get sued today.
They got stuck in that bar in Takapuna.
Did they?
Yeah.
Or did I imagine that?
Who knows?
No, no, I think you're right.
Henry's here.
Hi, Henry.
G'day.
What's the most cringeworthy thing that happened to you on a date?
Or did you do the thing?
I did the thing.
No, no. One time I was on a Tinder date and I told do the thing? I did the thing. No, no.
One time I was on a Tinder date, and I told the girl I do stand-up comedy.
She didn't ask me to test the joke.
I said this joke, oh, at my grandmother's funeral, I said, oh, sorry, I'm a little nervous.
I hear my grandma's in the audience, which is slightly funny, and I just found out her
grandma had died, which is why she was late
for the date. Oh, no!
Yeah, well...
Well, you weren't to know, Henry. You weren't
to know, were you, that her grandma had died?
Yeah, well, what can you do?
Did you get a second date with her?
Um, no. We lived far away.
I was proud of her for saying no
for a second date. I quite like your
dead grandma joke, by the way.
I think it's got legs.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah.
I'm a bit nervous.
That's not a good barometer.
That's not a good comedic barometer.
Barometer?
Barometer.
Yeah.
All right, Henry, we'll keep on keeping on,
keep fighting the good fight.
Let's talk to Jay.
Hi, Jay.
Hello.
We're looking for the most cringeworthy things that you've
experienced on a date. What was it for you?
So I went on
a date with this guy. We seemed to get on really
well and
we went out to a flash restaurant. Our thing that
we had in common is we like sports.
We get to this nice-ass restaurant.
We take our order. He whips out
his iPad in the middle of this restaurant,
puts it on the table and puts the NRL game on in the middle of the restaurant.
I've never been so embarrassed in my life.
Was it at least an NRL team that you both mutually barracked for?
Honestly, I didn't even know the team.
I liked a couple of games.
You just make it small talk.
I liked it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I had to watch it in a flash restaurant
surrounded by all these people, and it was...
I wanted to die.
Oh.
Second date?
No.
No, no, no.
That was it.
Okay, all right.
Thanks, Jay, for sharing.
That's so bad.
I've got a couple of absolutely...
This one I actually find really funny, because I can just see this happening.
A guy I dated drove his automatic car like it was a manual,
flicking it into the low gears of the lights.
Vroom, vroom.
Bang, bang, bang.
And this one's absolutely disgusting.
As a fresh 18-year-old, I went on a date only to realise
I had been catfished on Tinder by a 37-year-old
who waved me down so I awkwardly said hi and sat down to wait for what I thought was my date.
He sat at the table and said,
Don't worry, darling, daddy has arrived.
Oh, yuck.
Oh, no.
Oh, yuck.
No, no.
She awkwardly laughed, gotuck. Oh, no. Oh, yuck. No, no. No, she awkwardly laughed,
awkwardly laughed,
got to the door and ran.
No, that's not okay.
Moral of the story,
don't ever say that word.
Ever.
Someone said he told me he raced pigeons
and I laughed so much,
he told me I was a horrible person.
Oh, good stuff.
All right.
Bree and Clint.
Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint. Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Cheers to JB Hi-Fi.

To celebrate JB Hi-Fi's 15th birthday, you give us your birthday.
We tell you the number one song the day you turned 16.
Felix is here.
Hi, Felix.
Hello.
How are you going?
Good.
Yourself?
Yeah, we're good.
We're good, thank you.
If you give us your birthday,
Brodie will tell you
what your birthday banger is.
17th of December, 1996.
Oh, that's another annoying
Christmassy birthday.
Yeah.
Oh, do you get two presents?
No, just one.
Yeah, that stinks.
Anyway, 17th of December, 1996,
which means that you were 16 on that day,
2020-12.
This was the number one song.
I'm gonna pop some Jags.
Only got $20 in my pocket.
Banger.
Bye.
He's coming to Headline Friday Jams Live next month as well.
This was his first song, eh?
Yeah, this was his first hit.
It's still one of the best.
Yeah.
Do you like it, Felix?
Yeah, I like it a lot.
Banger.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do a birthday banger for Jessie.
Kia ora, Jessie.
Hi, how you doing?
We're good.
How's your Tuesday been?
Great.
I just had my lashes done and had physio, so I'm golden.
Oh, darling.
All the panel beating is done.
What a great Tuesday.
You're fully reno'd and ready to go.
Exactly.
Okay, well, let's do your birthday banger and top off a great day.
What's your birthday?
9th of April, 1989.
Okay, so 19th of April, 1989. Okay, so 19th of April 1989. That means that you would have been 16 on that
date in 2005
where this was the
number one song.
Yeah.
She likes it.
Another Friday Jams
Live alum. He's done the gig. He did the
last one before COVID and he was amazing too.
He was so good.
I remember dancing to this at the clubs.
I do too.
I do too, thinking I was so sexy, but I wasn't.
Same.
Not when you were 16, surely, Jessie?
No, no, not at all.
No, that was not when we had paper fake IDs.
Did you have one of those too?
Yeah, absolutely.
And then they changed them
and you're like,
oh, damn it.
Got mine signed
by a Maori warden.
They're like,
has to be signed
by a justice of the peace.
I was like,
been there, done that.
Yep.
Thank you very much.
Finally,
Violet is here
for her birthday banger.
Hi, Violet.
Hi.
How are you?
How's your Tuesday been?
It's okay.
I just got home from work.
Good.
Yay.
Okay, good.
The evening can begin.
Give us your birthday. We'll do your birthday banger. So it's the from work. Good. Yay. Okay, good. The evening can begin. Give us your birthday.
We'll do your birthday banger.
So it's the 6th of June, 1994.
Okay, so the 6th of June, 1994 means that on that day in 2010,
that's when you turned 16,
and that's when this was the number one song.
The Naked and Famous.
This is a good tune.
This is the song that made them world famous.
Yeah.
It's a tune.
Do you like it, Violet?
Yeah, it's okay.
I find The Naked and Famous, I love them,
but it can be a bit polarising because they're quite hipster.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is it accessible enough to be a birthday banger for the people? Oh my God, it absolutely is. Is it? Yeah. Is it accessible enough to be a birthday banger for the people?
Oh my God, it absolutely is.
Is it?
Yeah.
Is it?
It's got real summer vibes too.
Yeah.
It's got, it's very nostalgic.
I'm very torn on this.
Are you?
I'm going to go with energy and I'm going to go with Jessie's energy
and I'm going to vote for Candy Shop by 50 cents.
Okay.
I'm going to go for Youngblood, Naked and Famous,
because it was such a beautiful day today,
and the weather was beautiful,
and all it does is just make me think of just summer and good times.
So that's me.
We're going to a split vote.
All the songs are back on the table, including Macklemore.
Claude, you're up.
What's the winner of Birthday Banger?
Ella's not happy with my decision.
I'm going with Candy Shop.
You're going with Candy Shop?
Yeah, I like the energy. There it is. Hey, Jessie, you just won Birthday Banger? Ella's not happy with my decision. I'm going with Candy Shop. You're going with Candy Shop? Yeah, I like the energy.
There it is.
Hey, Jessie,

Birthday Banger
and a $100
JB High Five voucher.
Yeah, this is awesome.
What a great day.
What a great day.
Right, time to get
down and dirty
like we used to
in the clubs.
Let's go.
With your new lashes.
Yeah, and my broken hip.
Bree and Clint Whoa
If you listen to the lyrics of that song
Whoa
Took me back though Bree and Clint with Brody Cain Whoa. If you listen to the lyrics of that song, whoa.
Took me back, though.
Brian Clint with Brodie Kane.
That's the winner of Birthday Banger from 2005.
50 Cent.
And Candy Shop.
And you'd be in the club, eh?
And you'd be trying to, like, drop it low?
The bit I can never work out is what is the lollipop?
What's he referring to in that song?
I've never been able to work it out.
Chupa Chups.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, right.
Candy Shop.
It's not a metaphor?
No.
No?
Okay.
Oh, that's good to know.
Rappers don't use metaphors.
They're just genuine.
All this time.
Wow, I really cleared something up there.
Yeah.
Taking down Macklemore and this song from the Naked and Famous which is great.
Bree and Clint.
This is a story about
a woman from Wellington
who has gone online today
to talk about
how many Ubers
cancelled on her
on the weekend.
Oh.
This comes up from time to time
and it's never good.
No.
And it's always women trying to get home at the end of the night
and the services available to them to get them home safely,
letting them down.
Her name's Elizabeth.
Elizabeth?
Don't slur her name.
Sound like I need an Uber.
Her name is Elizabeth, the woman from Wellington.
Wellington.
She's 21 years old and on Saturday night,
three Ubers in a row cancelled on her
on the way home. I'll give you the facts.
It was 11 o'clock, so it wasn't a crazy
time of night where there was no other
Ubers around. It also wasn't the busiest
time of night. It was just 11 o'clock
and she just wanted to get home.
She said that one driver even drove
past her twice and
did not stop and then
cancelled on her as she was chasing the Uber down the road going,
hey, hey, you're my Uber, and he cancelled the trip then.
I'm unfortunately not surprised, though.
I was actually, I had a similar experience at Eden Park.
Yeah.
At the weekend where actually I went to get into a taxi
and gave my address, which is probably roughly 5km away.
You're close, right?
Yeah.
And he was like, that's going to be $50.
And I was just like, okay, stop the car.
$50?
$50.
Were you in the car already?
I was in the car.
I was in the car.
Was he running the meter?
Well, he said, oh, that will will work out at around 50 that's because
they but they they can um they can do a price quote right if you agree to it fine but if you
don't obviously yeah um and then the second taxi was 45 yeah and so and i in between that i was
trying to get ubers and i had to cancel on me as well. Because they're not interested in taking you
because they're hanging out for a big affair?
Is that what it comes down to?
The problem is, though, that it's actually illegal
to refuse to take people because it's too short.
But it's not illegal to charge whatever you want?
That seems like a bit of a loophole, right?
It's just because it's an unregulated place
and it just is a bit far west.
And Uber's a funnyhole right it's just because it's an unregulated place and it just is a bit and uber's a funny one because it's new and do they have to have to operate to the same level as taxis
um uber have actually commented on this yeah on on elizabeth's story specifically are they allowed
to do it are they allowed because it comes down to the fact same thing her trip was too short. Yeah. So that's what they were cancelling. Are they allowed to cancel?
Well, yes, they are.
Uber said that they, quote,
proactively let their driver partners know
about the negative impact cancellations can have
on the experience of riders.
Boring.
Isn't that boring?
It's a cop-out, eh?
Yeah, totally. The thing is, too,
and I don't mean to sound patronising, but
as a driver, you would have been able to see
that this is a young woman
trying to get home on a Saturday night
and you're still going to cancel the job?
You know? Even if it is too short,
the night is young, my friend. It's only 11
o'clock. Drop her off and go and get somebody else.
And that's the
nature, I mean, the whole thing
is like, this is part of the job
and you've taken on that
responsibility, so fulfil it.
Yeah, everybody has got to make a profit
and you guys have to earn a living,
obviously, but you've also signed up to offer
a service. Like if you're out there on
a Saturday night, you're out there to...
Chances are there are going to be lots of those kinds
of rides and I just... And I know that there's, you know out there to... Chances are there are going to be lots of those kinds of rides. And I just...
And I know that there's, you know, that they get paid bugger all.
That's on Uber.
That's not on the person that's a 21-year-old woman trying to get home.
You know?
Yeah.
Boo.
No, it gives me rage.
Bree and Clint.
So are you allowed to sell the engagement ring
if the engagement falls over and the wedding never happens?
That's the question we're going to ask an Australian woman that's copping a bit of heat online.
She's selling her engagement ring on Facebook Marketplace.
Did he cheat on her?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Okay.
And I feel like that is an important consideration.
Well, because I feel like if something bad happened and he's been a dick,
then I'm like, fill your boots, hon.
Go for gold.
And I would agree.
Yeah.
I would agree.
I'll give you the details of this one, though.
It sounds like he might have.
Okay.
Because just because of the quantities we're talking about.
So she listed the ring.
She gave it a price and a description.
It's a one-carat Tiffany the ring. She gave it a price and a description. It's a one carat Tiffany
diamond ring.
Yes. A whole carat? That's a lot, eh?
I'm not packing
many carats myself.
It's worth $23,600.
Oh my god. And she's just going to put it on
Marketplace. I know. I don't understand.
Yeah. That's a bit
weird. Rando shows up to your house. Yeah. That's a bit weird.
Rando shows up to your house.
They're like, can I try on the ring first?
I can't see it.
To be fair, though, if you're buying a ring of that scale,
I definitely want to see it. I'm not going to buy it sight unseen.
Anyway, she's not selling it for $23,000.
She said, I'm letting go of this beauty for $18,500.
A $23,000 secondhand diamond ring.
She wrote, condition is close to brand new, never worn much.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, I'm needing more details from what happened.
If it was some sort of amicable split, I would probably say,
no, you kind of have to give that back.
You give it back, right?
Yeah.
You don't even go hard on it. You give it back.
No. If she has straight
up called off the engagement, if she's just
changed her mind, because the
quote is, she said, selling this for obvious reasons
I did and now I don't.
That's what she wrote. Well, okay.
If we're just going to, let's read between the lines
for argument's sake and
say, because chances are
he cheated on her, right?
And the law of averages.
And the law of averages, right?
I'm going to swing a massive generalisation here.
Yeah.
Does a one-carat Tiffany diamond ring worth $23,000 sound like the kind of ring
that a guy with a guilty conscience buys in the first place?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I've been cheating on her for years, but I've got to sort my shit out.
You know what I'll do?
A really, really massive diamond.
Yeah, and then what it means as well is I'll give my baby this
and then I'll still cheat as well, you know?
Okay, so with all the information in mind that we've gathered
and that we've assumed from this so far,
is she allowed to sell the Tiffany diamond ring for $18,500?
Yes.
I mean, if you've got 18 grand, hit up Facebook Marketplace.
There's a bargain going.
That was very careful how you had to nearly say that.
That was Facebook Marketplace.
Don't say that with your tongue tied.
Crikey.
Bree and Clint.
Pokemon, is it on
Game Boy?
Nintendo. Yeah, I think it is.
Oh, okay. I think it is.
Sega.
Sega? Claude, are you a gamer?
So-so.
Pokemon was Nintendo, right? Pokemon was Nintendo
because it was on Game Boy. Yeah, it was on Gameboy Yeah it was on Gameboy
Oh is Nintendo still a thing?
Is Nintendo still cool?
Nintendo's like the parent company
Oh I see
Do you play it at home
On your television though?
With your little
You plug it into
With your remote
With a Switch
A Nintendo Switch
I could tell you
How many times I've played
Any kind of video game
On one hand
We could guess
Yeah
Judging by that.
What was it?
Gran Turismo.
Oh, yeah.
Good game.
PlayStation 1.
Gran Turismo, yeah.
When I was about 15 years old and that was the last time.
They still make Gran Turismos.
Do they?
Yeah.
Good.
Anyway, Pokemon.
There you go.
Oh, well, carry on.
What's for dinner?
Oh, I've been so bad.
I have not been to the supermarket in a few days,
so I might just pick up a hot choc.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And some coleslaw and some buns?
Yeah, yeah, you know it.
I reckon that, I've said this before,
I think that's our national dish.
Well, it just hits every time.
Yes.
And you can get a good bit of protes,
a good bit of nice salad.
Yeah, I'll get a wee Japanese slaw, I think.
A little bit of carbs in the bun.
I don't think I'll have a bun tonight.
I think I'll just have a...
What, a carb-free... Yeah, I'll just have the slaw and the the bun. I don't think I'll have a bun tonight. What, a carb-free?
Yeah, I'll just have the slaw and the chuck.
No bun?
Well, it's midweek.
I feel like a chuck bun is more of a reward at the weekend.
Right.
Jeez, that's what you're doing to reward yourself.
I don't know.
No, I just feel like just maybe a salad is what I'm buying.
It's Tuesday, all right?
And by salad, you mean a deli coleslaw.
Yeah.
Perfect.
All right.
Sounds good to me. Have a great night, everybody. mean a deli coleslaw. Yeah. Perfect. All right. Sounds good to me.
Have a great night, everybody.
We'll catch you guys back tomorrow.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
