Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:30 B Nizzle Yeah B J No B J Oh my god I'm not sure if that one will stick Well I mean
Starting point is 00:00:43 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.
Starting point is 00:00:56 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.
Starting point is 00:01:07 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.
Starting point is 00:01:19 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.
Starting point is 00:01:34 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.
Starting point is 00:01:45 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.
Starting point is 00:01:59 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.
Starting point is 00:02:15 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.
Starting point is 00:02:33 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
Starting point is 00:02:48 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
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:05 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.
Starting point is 00:03:20 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.
Starting point is 00:03:35 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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.
Starting point is 00:04:01 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.
Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:27 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.
Starting point is 00:04:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:00 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:18 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

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

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?

Starting point is 00:10:51 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?

Starting point is 00:13:41 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?
Starting point is 00:13:57 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?
Starting point is 00:14:09 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.
Starting point is 00:14:20 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?
Starting point is 00:14:32 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,
Starting point is 00:14:52 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.
Starting point is 00:15:04 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.
Starting point is 00:15:17 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?
Starting point is 00:15:30 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.
Starting point is 00:15:46 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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.
Starting point is 00:16:14 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?
Starting point is 00:16:27 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.
Starting point is 00:16:37 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:02 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.
Starting point is 00:17:18 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.
Starting point is 00:17:33 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?
Starting point is 00:17:54 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.
Starting point is 00:18:10 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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:18:58 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
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:27 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.
Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:15 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?
Starting point is 00:20:31 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.
Starting point is 00:20:43 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,
Starting point is 00:21:05 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.
Starting point is 00:21:22 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?
Starting point is 00:21:37 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?
Starting point is 00:21:50 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.
Starting point is 00:22:07 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.
Starting point is 00:22:25 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.
Starting point is 00:22:38 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,
Starting point is 00:22:48 there you go. All right, which is the short list, guinea pigs, possums, and goats. Yeah, someone else had a pet sheep,
Starting point is 00:22:54 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.
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:27 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,
Starting point is 00:23:38 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
Starting point is 00:23:59 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,
Starting point is 00:24:24 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.
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:24:55 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.
Starting point is 00:25:10 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.
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:25:41 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.
Starting point is 00:25:55 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.
Starting point is 00:26:12 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
Starting point is 00:26:31 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.
Starting point is 00:26:49 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.
Starting point is 00:27:05 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.
Starting point is 00:27:16 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:38 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,
Starting point is 00:28:00 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?
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:28:31 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
Starting point is 00:28:48 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
Starting point is 00:29:04 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.
Starting point is 00:29:17 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?
Starting point is 00:29:33 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.
Starting point is 00:29:47 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
Starting point is 00:30:00 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.
Starting point is 00:30:20 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:47 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.
Starting point is 00:31:00 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.
Starting point is 00:31:08 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.
Starting point is 00:31:26 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.
Starting point is 00:31:42 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.
Starting point is 00:31:50 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?
Starting point is 00:31:57 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
Starting point is 00:32:08 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.
Starting point is 00:32:24 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.
Starting point is 00:32:40 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.
Starting point is 00:32:50 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
Starting point is 00:33:09 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.
Starting point is 00:33:31 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.
Starting point is 00:33:47 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?
Starting point is 00:33:58 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.
Starting point is 00:34:13 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.
Starting point is 00:34:32 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.
Starting point is 00:34:55 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,
Starting point is 00:35:10 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 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.
Starting point is 00:35:31 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
Starting point is 00:35:50 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.
Starting point is 00:36:05 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.
Starting point is 00:36:18 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
Starting point is 00:36:34 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.
Starting point is 00:36:48 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.
Starting point is 00:36:55 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.
Starting point is 00:37:05 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
Starting point is 00:37:22 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,
Starting point is 00:37:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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?
Starting point is 00:38:06 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.
Starting point is 00:38:18 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.
Starting point is 00:38:32 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.
Starting point is 00:38:55 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.
Starting point is 00:39:11 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.
Starting point is 00:39:33 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.
Starting point is 00:39:47 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.
Starting point is 00:39:56 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
Starting point is 00:40:05 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
Starting point is 00:40:21 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?
Starting point is 00:40:34 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.
Starting point is 00:40:44 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...
Starting point is 00:41:10 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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.
Starting point is 00:41:37 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?
Starting point is 00:41:49 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,
Starting point is 00:42:04 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.
Starting point is 00:42:25 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.
Starting point is 00:42:37 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.
Starting point is 00:42:56 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.
Starting point is 00:43:22 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,
Starting point is 00:43:31 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.
Starting point is 00:43:44 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.

Starting point is 00:45:14 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.
Starting point is 00:45:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:55 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,
Starting point is 00:46:05 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.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Yep. Thank you very much. Finally, Violet is here for her birthday banger. Hi, Violet. Hi. How are you?
Starting point is 00:46:17 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.
Starting point is 00:46:25 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.
Starting point is 00:46:48 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.
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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,
Starting point is 00:47:29 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.

Starting point is 00:47:58 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.
Starting point is 00:48:28 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?
Starting point is 00:48:45 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?
Starting point is 00:48:53 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.
Starting point is 00:49:10 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.
Starting point is 00:49:21 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.
Starting point is 00:49:33 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.
Starting point is 00:49:48 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
Starting point is 00:50:03 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?
Starting point is 00:50:30 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.
Starting point is 00:50:39 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
Starting point is 00:51:11 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?
Starting point is 00:51:46 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?
Starting point is 00:52:04 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
Starting point is 00:52:20 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,
Starting point is 00:52:35 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.
Starting point is 00:52:54 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.
Starting point is 00:53:11 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.
Starting point is 00:53:28 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.
Starting point is 00:53:40 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.
Starting point is 00:53:58 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,
Starting point is 00:54:13 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,
Starting point is 00:54:40 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
Starting point is 00:54:53 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?
Starting point is 00:55:09 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?
Starting point is 00:55:30 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.
Starting point is 00:55:57 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?
Starting point is 00:56:12 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?
Starting point is 00:56:27 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
Starting point is 00:56:36 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
Starting point is 00:56:43 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.
Starting point is 00:56:52 They still make Gran Turismos. Do they? Yeah. Good. Anyway, Pokemon. There you go. Oh, well, carry on. What's for dinner?
Starting point is 00:57:00 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,
Starting point is 00:57:12 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.
Starting point is 00:57:24 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.
Starting point is 00:57:35 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.
