Starting point is 00:00:00 Everyone wants to be seen to be environmentally conscious in our agricultural industry, but who is actually walking the walk? Not all suppliers of bale wrap into the NZ market participate in the collection and recovery of their plastic, leaving it to others to take care of. Can you be certain your supplier is also contributing to the cost of collection? Leave the right legacy for future farming generations. To find out if your supplier supports the Plasback scheme, head to

Who had the best thing that happened to them this morning before the show? Who did the most exciting thing? Oh, I did a podcast and ate a hot cross bun.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Oh, that's pretty basic these days, isn't it? Hot cross bun? No, podcast. Where's your hot cross bun? I've got hot cross buns at home in the fridge. You should know me. You do not. I swear. You're just pretending to have hot cross buns
Starting point is 00:01:20 because you found out that I'm having hot cross buns. I swear on my dog's lives. I've got hot cross buns in the fridge. What type? Just the normal, generic. Raisin ones? Raisin ones. Fruit hot cross buns?
Starting point is 00:01:31 Yeah. You're a chocolate hot cross bun person? I love chocolate hot cross buns. I feel like they skimp on the chocolate, though. You're a brioche hot cross bun person? Eh. Yeah. I love the hot cross buns from Daily Bread.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Do you know? Oh, yeah, those are bougie, upper echelon hot cross buns. Yeah. I love the hot cross buns from Daily Bread. Do you know? Oh, yeah. Those are bougie upper echelon hot cross buns. Yeah. You know what the secret is to a hot cross bun? Lots of butter. Yes, but the secret, or two secrets. Tear them. Don't cut them so that the bits of bread are sort of jagged and stretched.
Starting point is 00:02:00 And air fryer. Put them in the air fryer to toast them. I did a toasted sandwich in the air fryer to toast them. I did a toasted sandwich in the air fryer last week. Yep. It's bloody brilliant. I'll do cheese on toast in the air fryer.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Air fryer can do, guys. I feel like a toasted sandwich needs a bit of weight on top of it though. Nah. Really? I did a tuna melt.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Oh yeah. It was perfect. I did cheese on toast one time with that pre-sliced cheese. Not the fake one time with that pre-sliced cheese. Not the fake cheese, just the pre-sliced real cheese. And I couldn't tell because it was closed in the air fryer. The fan blew the cheese off my cheese on toast,
Starting point is 00:02:35 and the toast cooked and the cheese was stuck to the side of the air fryer. That's not going to be yum, is it? No. This just in, guys. Air fryer can cook more than just hash browns. Yeah. I was just as shocked. Air fryer, get one.
Starting point is 00:02:50 We should give away air fryers on this show. The air fryer? That'd be a ratings bonanza. The air fryer is this generation's microwave. Yep. Yep. Isn't it? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Like, and you think all the generations that missed out on the microwave. Oh, microwave's so yesterday. Like, you know? If you could only have an air fryer or a microwave, what are you having? God, if I'm bored of this conversation,
Starting point is 00:03:12 imagine people listening to this show, how bored they are. We should move on. Okay. Secret Sound, four and five o'clock, but first,

Starting point is 00:06:59 50 bucks coming your way, my friend. Well done. Thanks, guys. Thank you so much. That was a fun round of Tradiverse Lady. Ladies, continue to march ahead, 22 to 14. God, everyone's talking about Lady Gaga at the moment. Dropped her seventh studio album on Friday, last Friday.
Starting point is 00:07:20 She up to seven. I believe so. Yeah. She won 14 Grammys, seventh studio album. Wow. I think. Have you listened to it yet? Win's enough enough, eh?
Starting point is 00:07:30 When will she be satisfied? Okay, obviously not a Lady Gaga fan. Nah, I do like Lady Gaga. She's been doing heaps of press for it at the moment. And she's just, I reckon, the best at it. She's so good at publicity. She's good at grabbing a headline, always has been. Really best at it. She's so good at publicity. She's good at grabbing a headline, always has been. Really good at it.
Starting point is 00:07:49 But one of the biggest things that's happened in her life, especially in like the last 12 to 18 months, isn't this new album. It's the fact that she has gotten engaged. Oh, yeah. And she's, yeah, got a fiancé. Anyway, she was doing a Q&A, obviously, as a part of the press for the upcoming album, and she starts talking about how her fiancé,
Starting point is 00:08:12 his name's Michael Polanski, by the way, and he's not really in the industry. I don't really know what he does, but he's not like a famous person. Is he related to Roman Polanski? Could be. Don't know. But she talked about how he proposed to her and what he proposed with,
Starting point is 00:08:30 and it's actually the sweetest story in the world. Take a listen. I wrote a song on Mayhem called Blade of Grass. He actually proposed to me also with these blades of grass. He asked me a long time ago we were in the backyard and he said if i ever proposed to you uh what like how do i do that and i just said just get a blade of grass from the back backyard and wrap it around my finger and that that will make me so happy i love her he was like, that's so cheap. No, well, what do you get, Lady Gaga? She can get anything
Starting point is 00:09:08 she wants. He did, I think, also get her an engagement ring, but I think he had these blades of grass that he used to propose to her. He had them put into a ring. It's real cute. Oh, that's nice. Like in resin or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:23 God, you wouldn't want to use Cutty Grass? Kai Kuuya, I reckon. Would be the best. I don't think Kai Kuuya gets long enough. Yeah, well, I mean... He's obviously thought about it. I'm sure he nailed it. He would have thought it through. We've got a little bit of the song because she wrote a song
Starting point is 00:09:39 about it on the new album called Blade of Grass. Grab that blade of grass around my finger Like a cask of zealot Though the church burn down I'll be your queen without a crown I'm all for it, eh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:58 I quite like hearing stories about people proposing with something other than, you know, a typical engagement ring. Or even like a placeholder ring. That's become very, very common. You propose with just a generic ring and then you go shopping for the ring together later. Yeah, like just something unique. I like the idea of someone who proposed with a burger ring. Yeah, you know.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Or an onion ring. Or a candy lolly ring. Yeah, yeah. I think it's quite cute. I can't give you the thing you need now, but I do want to ask you to marry me. And it's safe too, because then they can be a part of the process of, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:34 buying a very expensive piece of jewellery. And if it's a burger ring, they can eat it. Yeah, delicious. I thought we could ask people, 0800 dials at M this afternoon. Maybe it's you, maybe it's someone else. Did they propose with something other than a ring? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And what was it? Text us on 9696 or give us a call now, 0800 dials at M. Bree and Clint. Lady Gaga's talked about how her fiancé proposed to her and it was actually with a blade of grass from the backyard. And she asked for it. He wasn't being a cheapskate. Yeah. No, he wasn't.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Because he kind of said to her earlier in the relationship, like, if I were ever to propose to you, like, how do I do that? Because I imagine it would be quite overwhelming. He was worried she would want like a meat ring or something. You know? Thinking about proposing to Lady Gaga, what do you do? Yeah, yeah. And she's just kind of like, later grass.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Is that cheating? Is that cheating to say, hey, if I propose, what should I do? Is that cheating? You know? No, I think it's sweet. I think he was just like, I don't want to. Takes the surprise out of it though, doesn't it? Oh, most people I think talk about getting proposed
Starting point is 00:11:40 before they do it, surely. So we want to know what's the unusual thing you got proposed to with. Alicia is here. Hi, Alicia. Hi, Alicia. Hi. What was the alternative to the ring? So it was before the ring.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Okay. I wasn't sure if he was serious, but he sounded serious. But we talked about getting married for a while. Right. And we had gone grocery shopping, and he randomly just turned around and while holding a head of broccoli, turned around and said, will you marry me? With a head of broccoli?
Starting point is 00:12:21 Cute. Yeah, with a head of broccoli. Were you looking in the broccoli to see if there was a ring in there? Well, I wasn't, like I said, I wasn't trying to feel serious, but I was just like, wait. I was very confused. And then when I realised, no, it's literally just a head of broccoli with nothing, no ring in there.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Is broccoli your favourite? Yeah, does broccoli mean anything? Well, no, not really. It was really random. We were just grocery shopping. Yeah, really random. I like it. That's a great story.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Thanks, Alicia. Someone said, alternatives to an engagement ring. I proposed with a spoon. She said yes, and I had the spoon made into rings and earrings. It was a solid silver spoon. That's cute. That's awesome. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:13:05 My husband proposed with a mood ring, so he would always know what mood I was in. Life hack. Ellen's here. Hi, Ellen. Hi, Ellen. Hi. Tell us, mate, was it you that proposed to with something different?
Starting point is 00:13:20 It wasn't myself. It was a very good friend of mine. We're in a speedway community. We all race race cars. And her partner finished a race and pulled a bolt out of his race car and proposed to her with the nuts from the bolt. Oh, that's a bit cute. Was it an important integral part of the vehicle?
Starting point is 00:13:43 Like Christian, yeah. Still driving? I think it was bent, so I think he was changing it out. And then he was like, opportunity has arisen. He should have proposed with like one of the engine mounts or something and been like, just like my car, I cannot live without you. Like the heart of it. The spark plug.
Starting point is 00:13:59 He should have got a spark plug out of it. You are my spark. That's cute. I like that, Ellen. Let's go to Renata. Hi, Renata. Hi, Renata. Hey. How are we spark. That's cute. I like that, Ellen. Let's go to Renata. Hi, Renata. Hi, Renata. Hey.
Starting point is 00:14:06 How are we doing? Good, thank you, mate. Was it you that got proposed to with something else? Yes. What was it, Renata? A chewing gum wrapper. A chewing gum wrapper? Was it when they turned the chewing gum wrapper into like a ring?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah. So it was literally just what was on the floor of my car at the time. And it happened to be like an old extra cardboard thing and it sort of ripped. How did you feel about that? Well, I was actually really frustrated because we had the ring at home. Oh, right. So we'd already got the ring and it was sitting at home and he'd carried it around for a couple of weeks and I'd sort of got a bit impatient.
Starting point is 00:14:46 So I thought I would set the scene myself. And so I drove us out to this beautiful lookout. And of course we had ZM on. Shut up. Shut up. What show? Do you remember? Good question.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yours. Because it would have been like in the afternoon. No, actually, I think it was evening. Because it would have been afterwards. It would have been our podcast, eh, Renata? Yeah. Absolutely. That's what it was. Love like in the afternoon. No, actually, I think it was evening because it would have been after work. Would have been our podcast, eh, Renata? Yeah. Absolutely, that's what it was. Love it, love it.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Oh, well. And Bruno Mars, I Think I Want to Marry You came on. Oh. You're kidding. And I was like, this is it. It's the moment. It's perfect. It's perfect.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It's the song. Yeah. He didn't take the hint, Renata. He didn't have the ring. Oh. One job, Renata. He didn't have the ring. Oh. One job, Renata. He had one job. Well, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I hope he had the real ring. 11 years later. Yeah. We're okay. Oh, there you go. Everything worked out in the end. It's crazy because I've only been on air for six years. Yeah, but I reckon she would have travelled.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Yeah. She had a time machine. Yeah, yeah, totally. Someone said, my dad proposed to my mum with a bunch of silver beets. It was his way of saying that he would always provide for us. That's a bit cute.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Okay, that's symbolic. Someone said, after a romp in the sheets, my now husband said, so are you going to marry me this time? And he handed me a handful of farm flowers. That's kind of romantic, isn't it? That's kind of romantic. Someone else said.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Because he had to think to get the flowers first. Yeah. You know, it was a bit premeditated. Exactly. Someone else said, proposed with a ring box that had a Coke can pull tab as the ring. I still have it in my drawer of trinkets nearly 30 years later. Cute. There you go.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Cute. Well, anyone who can't scrape together the deposit for the engagement ring at the moment, there's hope. Just grab something off the floor. Yeah. And go with that. Or just see what's in the savings account, the joint savings account.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Oh, yeah. That's what someone texts through. They said, my husband asked how much we had in our joint savings account. And I said, I guess that's enough to buy a ring. Yeah. Well, you paid for it. For a few years in the 1970s the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin
Starting point is 00:16:52 creates its own market and it acts like a form of plague. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Clark would have threatened him. Go and kill him. If you don't, I'm going to kill you and your wife and your son. This is Mr. Asia, a forgotten history. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:17:15 There you go. I was reading this article which was talking about research that is out today says that in England and Wales over in the UK, unisex baby names have increased by a whopping 50%, they reckon. Oh, really? Apparently that is the trend now. Like everyone's giving their babies unisex names. Do you reckon it's just lazy parents who can't be coming up,
Starting point is 00:17:42 people that come up with two names so they just come up with one? Maybe. For either eventuality? Yeah. I mean it takes that problem out of it, doesn't it? Doesn't it? Doesn't matter. It's the same name for both. These are some of the top unisex names on the list over in the UK.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Marlowe for the girls and also Marlowe for the boys. I was going to say, what do you mean for the girls? Well, Marlowe for the girls and also Marlowe for the boys. I was going to say, what do you mean for the girls? Well, Marlowe for the girls apparently more so is with an E on the end. Oh, yeah. And for the boys it's got no E on the end. Oh, yeah. Like Joe.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Other unisex names that are super popular, Noah. Noah Cyrus. Yeah. And Noah Khan, who we just played. It can be both ways. Another one on the list is Blair. Yeah, Blair's a good one. Yep. Ronnie. Mm hmm. Ren. Mm hmm. Ocean. Mm hmm. Sunny. I quite like Sunny for a boy or for a girl It's quite cute Sunny's got strong 70s vibes to me What like Sunny and Cher
Starting point is 00:18:51 Yeah that'll be it And that's all the names that it's listed on this list I love a good unisex name I feel like they're cool Who do you think out of our team's got the most unisex name Brianna? No. No.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Claudia? No. Oh, Claude. Claude. Claude's either way. You could be a boy called Claude. Yeah. Ella?
Starting point is 00:19:15 No. No. Ellen? No, that's different. That's Ellen. Not with your guy's accent. Oh, yeah. Bri gets annoyed that we say Ellen and Ellen the same.
Starting point is 00:19:25 What are you saying? Ellen. And Ellen. And Ellen. And Ellen. Ellen and Ellen. You're really trying now. Ellen and Ellen. Sounds exactly the same.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Ellen, the generous, and Ellen, the man. One more time. Ellen. No, no, don't put it on. You just say it how you say it. Ellen. That was clearly girl Ellen. Oh, it's four o'clock. Time to turn on Ellen.
Starting point is 00:19:56 You're really trying to change it now. You do it then. Ellen. Yep. And Ellen. Whoa! Oh, wow. There is a difference. Ellen DeGeneres and Ellen. Yeah. And Ellen. Whoa. Oh, wow. There is a difference. Ellen DeGeneres and Alan. Ellen. Ellen.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And Ellen. Is the Australian more cultured than we are? No. This is a dark day for New Zealand. It's got to be something else that can't be it. Yeah. Bree and Clint. The Tea.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. Spill the tea on the possible Harry Styles Las Vegas residency, Dean. Oh, this is so cool. Not just any residency, though, Clint. This is going to be at the Sphere. Now, let me just describe the Sphere. So it is this enormous round building.
Starting point is 00:20:40 It is full of millions of LED lights. And it shows from the outside, they display all kinds of imagery and inside it is like something you've never ever seen. It's so difficult to describe. I've never seen anything like it. So I've been a couple of times to the Sphere. It sells out. It is breathtaking. And the plan is that Harry will do his actual residency inside the Sphere. Now, recently they did a big concert there. I can't think of the name of the group right now, but they did a concert there and it went so well
Starting point is 00:21:10 because the performers were kind of like elevated in the middle of the sphere and all of the people were watching and then the sphere as the backdrop and it was magical. So that would be the perfect space for him. It's amazing. DJs play it. You too. And the Eagles have played it. But Dean, am I right in saying that Las Vegas residencies used to be for artists at the end of their careers?
Starting point is 00:21:35 Whereas now, is it a bit different? Is it a bit cooler to go to Las Vegas and do a run of shows? It's totally cool. And what you do, this is a great question. So it used to be the dinosaur graveyards. And now it really is more like just a tour and the thing is vegas is so cool now there's so many cool hotels and great restaurants it's not just some bogan hangout you know slot machine it's really cool you know all the big stars are there lady gaga did a residency there obviously katie perry uh mariah well mariah carey but you know a bit like the Harry Styles and all the cool stars
Starting point is 00:22:05 and, you know, like Diplo and that have residencies at the casinos and that. So, yeah, it's not lame. It's very cool. It's obviously a huge drawcard to get, you know, younger people to put Vegas as a part of their holiday. And I feel like it's a really good tactic from Las Vegas to get younger people in there. Oh, you'd go to Harry Styles.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Yeah, exactly. You know, so I mean, I'd go see Harry Styles in Las Vegas for sure. And let me tell you what they get paid. They get paid around half a million dollars a show. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, so we're talking more than a tour. And remember, they're not even touring.
Starting point is 00:22:44 They're just in one place. They're in a penthouse. They get flown out there in a private jet from LA, and they land, and they do the show, and then they go to a penthouse, and they come home. Okay, fine, Dean. I'll do it. We'll do it.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I will do it. We will come. We're in. It's all good. You've convinced us. The real exciting bit is it probably means new Harry Styles music too. That's the latest from Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent.
Starting point is 00:23:07 There's few things that I fear more than a public breakup. Like I don't think it gets worse than breaking up in public. And I feel for people when you see it happening. Not that I've witnessed all that many, but I've definitely seen a few where it looks like they're breaking up. Not since high school for me, like at a party, you know, and so and so dumps so and so and it's literally the end of the world. Terrible situation.
Starting point is 00:23:32 A guy has described this exact situation. He's 28 years old and he said that he had organized a really lovely birthday dinner for his girlfriend where he had invited 12 of their friends, made reservations, even arranged a surprise cake that he brought to the restaurant. Anyway, the evening was going really well. The cake's come out. She's blown out the candles and then everyone's like, speech, speech. You know how they do that to the birthday person.
Starting point is 00:24:04 It's the worst thing. You don't want to do that on your birthday, but you're forced to. She gets up and says, I just want to thank everyone for coming tonight and a special thank you to my wonderful boyfriend who has been so amazing. So amazing, in fact, that I'm happy to say I finally see him as a true best friend and nothing more. Oh, brutal. Brutal.
Starting point is 00:24:31 At least she said that he's her best friend. Do you think she thought that she was being kind with that? Probably. Like a mercy killing? Because it's not. It's not kind. Yeah, pretty ruthless. Could have done that in private, not in front of a bunch of people. because it's not. It's not kind. Yeah, pretty ruthless.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Could have done that in private, not in front of a bunch of people. Could have just shut up and enjoyed the cake. You know. Gone home. You could even do that the next day. You know, let the birthday thing settle. But it's not even that. It's not even that.
Starting point is 00:25:01 It's the fact that it's in front of heaps of people. Yeah, it's a public humiliation. That is not for public consumption. That is behind closed doors. I thought it was going to be, I thought you were going to go, she stood up and did the speech, and thank you to my boyfriend who I've just found out has been cheating on me this whole time and then she slammed the cake in his face or something like that. Like Steve Aoki'd him.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Yeah, those are the ones that you're kind of happy to see done publicly. Yeah, that's fine. You're like, yeah, get a girl. Still very awkward, but yeah, this takes the cake. Ha ha. I hope he did take the cake. I hope he picked up the cake. No, I think she dished it out to everyone.
Starting point is 00:25:35 No, I hope he picked up the cake and he left it with it himself. I think they shared the cake around. No, she does not deserve any cake. He got the worst piece of cake. He probably did let her share it out because he's such a nice guy. It's so mean, isn't it? Welcome to Dumpsville. Population, you.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I want to hear from people that got broken up in public. Like in front of people. Yeah. Not behind closed doors. Like it was in front of a group of people or maybe a couple of people, but it was just in a public setting. Was it an R&V and you guys were sharing a tent? Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:13 And it was night one. Yuck. Oh, what do you do? What do you do? You walk home from Gisborne. From Gisborne? Yeah. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:26:22 You do actually. You do. Yeah. Have some pride in yourself Walk home I'd walk home Yeah Through the gorge
Starting point is 00:26:28 As long as I had my Doc Martens on You know I'd trek it home 0800 DARS at M Text 9696 They're out there We want to hear about them The public breakups
Starting point is 00:26:37 Who got dumped in public And Who saw it Brutal You can text 9696 as well if you'd prefer. Bree and Clint. Not many people have been broken up with in public, turns out. Which is good.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Well, they don't want to talk about it. Or they don't want to talk about it, which I understand as well. I saw a breakup on a plane once. Did you? Yeah. It was very awkward. And it was on a long-haul flight as well. Some people just live their life, like their relationship at full volume.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Like they, everything. It's like when you see couples fighting in public as well. Some people just, they let it all hang out there. You know? I, yes, producer Claude. I saw a couple break up in public once as well at a cafe. They started literally at the table right next to me. They were just fighting.
Starting point is 00:27:28 And then it got to the point where she took his phone and he got really cryy about it. Obviously, he was doing something he shouldn't be doing. Hiding something. Yeah, and she ran away, took his phone into the bathroom and locked herself in at a cafe. And went through his phone. Yeah, and he was at the door sobbing.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Who pays in that situation? That's a great question. You know? Who pays? Whoever cheated. Yeah. Whoever pays. Not run away. That would be the nice thing to do and the ethical thing to do, but if you're a cheater, you probably don't think that way.
Starting point is 00:28:00 You weren't behaving nice and ethically before so why would you start now? You know? And if she's run off to the toilet, then that's your perfect opportunity to be like, I might go. Then I'd just sell his phone and pay for the breakfast. Oh, yeah, she's got the phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:13 He's not going anywhere without the phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's got collateral damage. I was in the corner, though, just trying, like, pretending like I wasn't looking. True, I forgot that you were there, too. Yeah, I was just watching, like, oh, this is juicy. Well, who paid? You know, I don't know. Could you I forgot that you were there too. Yeah, I was just watching like, oh, this is juicy. Well, who paid?
Starting point is 00:28:26 You know, I don't know. Could you hear me? Could you hear what the fight was about? Oh, absolutely, yeah. She was basically like, I don't trust you. Like you said you would never blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And like she started reading his messages out loud and he was like, no, it's not.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Yeah, if you have to snatch your partner's phone or like you feel the need to go through their phone at all, then probably not a good sign. In a better place without each other, I believe. Yeah, not in heaven. No, just living separate lives. You weren't meaning it that way, eh? Okay, good, just checking.
Starting point is 00:28:58 He's gone to a farm. He's gone to a big farm. That's where all my dogs went. Yeah, they're there too. They're all good. They're all running around together. They're all still there. They're at the farm.
Starting point is 00:29:12 They're being looked after by that cheetah. That makes me feel good. Play Google Down next. Your chance to win free KFC chicken dollars. Bree and Clint. Let's play. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time. Bree and Clint. Let's play. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you?

If it's correct, I'll give you a point. Unless the answer is your name. Oh, great point. Yeah.

It feels very genuine. She's the Penrith Panthers of Google Down. She's done four

It's all directed at Claude. Thanks so much. My boyfriend will be very happy for some fried chicken. Won't he just? See, am I here saving relationships?
Starting point is 00:32:56 I'm so glad I'm not involved in this game, because you guys don't hate each other. Don't make it appealing. Bree's the root of the problem here guys We should gag up on her She's tearing us apart That's what the rest of the show is
Starting point is 00:33:09 We should boycott Google Down You do that for the rest of the show This is my one bit of peace I've got a question for you About whether this person Needs to buy a wedding gift For the wedding they're attending or not Okay
Starting point is 00:33:20 I already know you're anti-wedding gift But I want you to keep an open mind I just like to I just like to rub people up the wrong way sometimes. It's so easy to bait people. Bree's like, well, you didn't get me anything for my wedding. And we're like, you didn't have one. What if I never have one?
Starting point is 00:33:34 She goes, exactly. What if I never have a wedding? What if I'm not ever going to get married? So why do I have to buy a present for all these people? You know? Why do I even have to be happy for you? Yeah, why should I be happy for you? Here's the situation.
Starting point is 00:33:47 It says, my cousin's daughter is remarrying her ex-husband. They have worked out their differences after their divorce and want to give it another try. That's great. However, they are having another
Starting point is 00:34:03 full wedding. Ceremony and reception. Oh, they are having another full wedding, ceremony and reception. Oh, God. They received a lot of what a new couple needs and bought whatever else they needed when they were first married. Also, having been divorced for a few years, they now have duplicates of a lot of stuff. Two beds, two microwaves, two toasted sandwich makers. I got them a gift for their first wedding.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Do I really need to buy them another gift? I think you wrap up, you break into their house, you steal your gift back. Original gift. You wrap that up. Yeah, yeah. And you re-gift it to them. Yeah, I think there's logic in that.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And they go, hey, you already gave us this. And you go, yeah, you already got married. I've already done this. Yeah. We've already been here. More than that, you should write the same message that you wrote in the first card in the second card. You should reuse the same outfit that you wore to the first wedding. Just make it identical.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Identical. Just the exact same wedding. If you gave a speech, give the same speech. Yeah. Yep, yep. You just have to change a few words here and there. Do you? Like, you wouldn't say, welcome, everyone.
Starting point is 00:35:20 You'd say, welcome back, everyone. Yeah, that's good stuff. That's good stuff. Yeah, yeah. My friend did that. He was the emcee at another one of our friend's second weddings. Yeah. Yeah, and he said, welcome to half the room and to the other half,
Starting point is 00:35:36 welcome back, which was quite good. I don't know if she found it funny, but we did. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't understand why they're having a full- we did. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't understand why they're having a full blown second wedding. Yeah, that's out there. Are you attending? Are you even bothering to go to the second wedding?
Starting point is 00:35:52 I mean, I do love a party. I do love a wedding. But I feel like, you know, you already know what happens in this one. You've already been. It's the sequel. Yeah, exactly right. And the sequel's never as good as the original. You know where I would go?
Starting point is 00:36:06 You know where I would go? If they were funny. If this was being done with a sense of humour. You know, if it was like... That's true. Yeah, that's fun. If it was like the wedding. 2.0.
Starting point is 00:36:16 2.0. Yeah. The sequel. Yeah, that's when I would go. If they wanted me to go and buy into this whole true love thing, I wouldn't be... I couldn't, I couldn't do it. Yeah, that doesn't sound right. If they're like, do you take such and such to be your lawful little wife
Starting point is 00:36:30 till death do you part? And they're like, I do. And someone goes, you said that last time. We've been here, done that. I just think technically probably you have to buy them a gift because all put money in the wishing well because it's paying for your meal at the wedding, yada, yada, yada. Well, are they going on a second honeymoon?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Yeah. There's so many questions. Is this just what they're going to do every 10 years so they get money for a trip? That's a great point. You know? These are the questions that need to be asked. They really do.
Starting point is 00:37:00 All right, I think we've settled that one. Our producer Ella gets married in one month today. Isn't it, Ella? One month today? Is it really? Is it that soon? One month. Her hen's due is this weekend.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yep. Everything's locked and loaded. The dress is done. It's fitted. It's good. You're happy. Yep. But you've got an issue around the ring.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Yes. Now, I'm not mad at anyone in particular. It's just the situation, and I thought I'd bring it to the table. So, again, we can discuss and figure it out. Essentially, Ryan's dad was like, hey. Your fiancé, Ryan. Yes, sorry, my fiancé. He was like, hey, father-son moment, I will give you my wedding ring.
Starting point is 00:37:38 And that was like, wow, thanks, Dad. Because I don't want to be with your mother anymore. Imagine. Oh, my gosh. Because it's a real C-block at the bars. It's a real handbrake. No. Anyway, that ring was his granddad.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Because this ring's cursed. It's like a chastity ring. Yeah, God's been holding me back for years. Sorry, you go, Ella. You're done. Well, it is almost not cursed, but it's hidden. They can't find it. They said that...
Starting point is 00:38:08 Is it hidden or is it lost? Well, lost. They thought they would find it after moving back into their home that was getting fixed up. So is this a ring he doesn't wear all the time, obviously, and he keeps... Did he promise the ring to your... Did your fiancé's father promise him the ring when it was already lost? Well, not lost. They just thought it was in moving house boxes.
Starting point is 00:38:27 They didn't know it was lost yet. And now, a month out from the wedding, it is officially lost. And so that begs the question, do we rush getting something together that might not be 100% what we want or what he wants? Or do you just not do the ring at the wedding? Oh, you have to have something at the wedding. You've got to have something. Otherwise it's going to be a very awkward ceremony.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I'd just do a cheapie. But that's the thing. It is just a bit of a tiny, tiny bummer because you like having that's the ring at the wedding. The symbolism of it. This might be controversial but I'm going to say it. Say it. The man's ring doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Oh. It's just a thing. It's just there. Yeah. I tried to replace my wedding ring recently with just a silicon band because it's annoying wearing a ring. It's annoying. Who are you?
Starting point is 00:39:15 A part of the Birds of Tokyo band? Yeah, right, or an electrician or something. And my wife said to me, if you wear that, I will leave you. And I said, oh, really? She goes, I'd rather you wore no ring than walk around with a $5 silicon ring from Trade Me On Your Finger. Who are you, the lead singer of Imagine Dragons? Do it again.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Do it again. Who are you, the drummer from Kings of Leon? Does he wear a silicon ring, does he? No, but I picture those would be the types of people who would. Mumford and Sons. And then you go the other way. Who are you? One of the sons from Mumford and Sons?
Starting point is 00:39:51 Nice, Ella. Thank you. Then some men go the other way and they get a really flamboyant ring. Yeah. And I'm like, bro, you're not the bride. This is not about you. No, I think get whatever you want. I'm all for it. Like it is traditional
Starting point is 00:40:07 I know and I love tradition and that's great but when I see people doing different stuff I'm like that's cool. What does Ryan want? He just messaged and said let's talk about it tonight but maybe he does do a little sterling silver moment at the wedding and then we look into it later. Or maybe they
Starting point is 00:40:23 find it and we didn't, you know, spend more money. Doesn't sound like they're going to find it. Yeah, nah. I hope they do. You should get one that, yeah, you can't go super cheap because otherwise if they don't find it, you might as well get something. Yeah, okay. But again, if you're looking for some silicon
Starting point is 00:40:40 bands. Clint's got heaps. I've got heaps. I bought a five pack. He bought some for all of the sums. In Mumford and Sons. Clint's got heaps. I've got heaps. I bought a five pack. He bought some for all of the sums. In Mumford and Sons. Brie and Clint. I want to share this with the world because I have known about this for many
Starting point is 00:40:55 years. My partner and I have been together for nearly six years and she has a very practical kind of useful talent. Yeah. But it's not like, you know, the most amazing thing. Is it a talent you or her call on regularly?
Starting point is 00:41:14 Yeah, I'd say. Okay, so it's very practical. Yeah, very practical talent. Yeah. But you don't have it. I think I've learnt from her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. don't have it i think i've learned from from her yeah yeah like but i don't have the natural born talent like she does you know i think she was born with it and the talent is she can look at
Starting point is 00:41:36 any kind of leftovers from dinner and she can pick the exact container that it will fit into. And when I say, like, obviously, you know, anyone could do that where they pick a huge container and it fits in. No, I'm talking about where it just fits. Right. Every time. Like, she could be like, oh, it's not going to fit in there. It'll just fit in that one.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And it always just fits. Do you have a range of different size containers in your house? Yeah, I think like any normal, you know, container drawer. The really small systema, the square systema. We've got all the different types. The rectangular systema. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The big square.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Yeah, the big square that you sometimes put cake in. Yeah. Yeah, I understand. It's actually, see what I mean? Are you not that impressed by it? No, I am. I think I've lived with it for so long, so now it's just kind of like, oh, she's doing that thing again.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Yeah, yeah. But when I think about it, I mean, it's super practical. We use it a lot. She's a volume queen. It's quite incredible. Like how she can eyeball something and be like, that's the container. Does it have any other applications? Like can she look at luggage and go, that will just fit in the boot of this car?
Starting point is 00:42:54 Doesn't apply to luggage. Right. Doesn't apply really to anything else. Just food and containers. Yeah. Yeah, fascinating. That's where it kind of stops. I have one of these.
Starting point is 00:43:04 It's the same kind of thing. It's practical when you need to use it, but mine is used less often than hers. I've always had the ability to know whether your luggage is going to be over or under 20 kilos, aka the amount you're allowed to take on the plane. Yeah, right. Like I can pick up your suitcase and I will be able to tell you
Starting point is 00:43:23 if it's under or overweight. I have in the past, when I work at this skill, I have in the past been able to get down to picking the weight of your luggage to within a kilo. Pick it up and I'll say, oh, that's 16 kilos. I feel like every man says this. Yeah, but I'm right when I do it. And I feel like every man says that. No, but I've been tested and I've been proven.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I feel like every man says that. Oh, yeah, you have tested and I've been proven. I feel like every man says that. Oh, yeah, you've little faith. All right. Deal with your own luggage. I mean, yeah. I mean, if you say that you can. I feel like we've done this before when we've travelled somewhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:56 And I don't know if you were right. No, I was. Were you? I was, yeah. Okay. Well, you've got to work at it. It's like a muscle, right? It would be.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Use it or lose it. For sure. Yeah, yeah. Because the more you do it, the more you got to work at it. It's like a muscle, right? It would be. Use it or lose it. For sure. Yeah, yeah. Because the more you do it, the more you get the feel of it. Anyone else got one of these practical but also- Producer Claude looks like she does. Semi-useful, semi-useless skills. My dad's got one, and I wonder if it's less of a skill and more that he's been blessed.
Starting point is 00:44:20 But he can get a car park outside, like right at the door, no matter where he goes. That is a great talent to have. My wife has this. It's so frustrating because I'll be parked like, you know, three blocks away and he's like, oh, I've got one right at the door. My wife says she asks her guardian angel for a car park and it works out for her. And annoyingly it always does.
Starting point is 00:44:42 I ask my guardian angel for heaps of stuff. Turns out my guardian angel's on leave because I never get any of it. 0800 dials at M or text to 9696. Do you have one of these skills? It's not necessarily going to wow us. Like none of these skills you've heard this afternoon, no one's gone, oh, my God. Someone said on the text machine, this is quite a good one,
Starting point is 00:45:04 I can write backwards on a window so that the person on the other side can read it normally with the same speed and neatness as writing normally. Yeah. That is quite amazing. I went to university with a girl who could repeat words back to you backwards up to four syllables instantly. She could just do it. Yeah, I can't even compute how that would work in my brain.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And everyone used to test her. She maxed out at four syllables, but yeah. Bree and Clint. What is your kind of practical but semi-useless talent? My partner, it's unbelievable, can eye up the leftovers we have and then pick the exact container that it will fit into.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Someone texted and said, I have the exact same ability as your girlfriend, Brie. I have amazing leftover capacity control. Is that what it's called? I didn't know it had a name. Leftover capacity control. I love it. John's here.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Hi, John. Hi, John. Hey, how you guys going? Is it you that has this special talent? Yeah. So my talent is I can get a couple of wine glasses, two or three out of the cupboard, and then just start pouring wine,
Starting point is 00:46:13 and I'll pour all three glasses to exactly the same precise size. What? Are the wine glasses side by side while you're pouring them? Yeah, but I'm looking over top. I'm not looking. So not like I live on the level. Are you a barman, John? No, never worked in a bar in my life.
Starting point is 00:46:31 You would be a real asset at a winery. Yeah, you would. Yeah. That's my weird talent. Yeah, we love it. Okay, thank you, John. That is the exact thing we're looking for. Tracy's here.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Hi, Tracy. Hi, Tracy. How are you going? Good, thank you, mate. What is it, thing we're looking for. Tracy's here. Hi, Tracy. Hi, Tracy. How you going? Good, thank you, mate. What is it, Tracy? Is it you that has an incredible talent? Well, I wouldn't call it incredible, but my husband tells me that I have a super power.
Starting point is 00:46:55 What is that? So he tells me that, so what I do is I can look at things and I can tell if they're level. Okay. Like a human level. But he was building a fence, I don't know, about 15 years ago. And I kept telling him it wasn't right, it wasn't right. And he got the level out and I was right.
Starting point is 00:47:14 What the hell? I went over to a mate's place and they'd just built a brand new kind of butler's kitchen. Yeah. And he's showing me the kitchen. He's so proud of it. And then he says, I said to. And he's showing me the kitchen. He's so proud of it. And then he says, I said to him, it's not level, mate. And he's like, yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:47:30 I measured it. You know, it's the right distance from the floor. I said, no, it's not. It's sloping to the left. He said, how much? I said, about a centimetre. And he's like, oh, okay. So he goes and gets a marble and puts it on. And sure enough, the marble went, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Stop. You ruined his new butler. Well, he ruined it, but you ruined his... Yeah, how much he liked his... Did he rebuild the butler's pantry? No, but every time I go to their house now, he says, I've built some shelves. Are they straight?
Starting point is 00:47:55 Yeah. You're the great leveler, Tracy. You are the human level. Tracy, question for you. What do you do for work? I'm a finance administrator slash comm. Goes to waste in your line of work, Tracey. Yeah, you should be a surveyor. You need to be out on the job site. ASAP. Tracey, a hard hat. This one is fascinating. Michelle's here. Hi, Michelle. Hi, Michelle.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Hi, how are you? Yeah, yours is quite incredible. What is the practical kind of unusual talent you have? I can smell when a light bulb is going to blow or like there's some wiring or something weird. Before it blows? Before it blows. Normally within a day or so, I'll come inside. It's happened for years and I'll go, something's blown. And my family will think I'm barmy. They're like, oh, no, it's not.
Starting point is 00:48:41 You're just, you're crazy. There's nothing burning. I'm like, nah, there's something burning. That's not. You're just, you're crazy. There's nothing burning. I'm like, nah, there's something burning. That's amazing. And within 24 hours, there'll either be a light bulb gone or an electrical fuse will go or something like that.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Michelle, quite incredible. Is it kind of a similar thing? You know those people who can smell sickness? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I can do it in other houses too. I can walk I've walked into a friend's house and said oh, you've got something not right in here.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Wow. Do you know one Michelle around day, you're like, oh, who farted? And Michelle's like, that one was Steve. That's a Steve. That is the brand of Steve. And it's curry. Curry, yeah, yeah, there was a curry. Thanks, Michelle. yeah, that was a...
Starting point is 00:49:26 Thanks, Michelle. Thanks, Michelle. Some of these that are coming through are fascinating. We asked you for practical but also semi-useless skills that you have. Somebody texted in and said, I can smell ants. Yeah, a lot of smelling ones. Someone else said, I'm annoyingly good at guessing the price of things. My boyfriend gets really frustrated when he comes home with something and he says, guess how much?
Starting point is 00:49:48 And I guess it within $10. They should get you on that Price is Right TV show. Yeah, they would nail that show. My special skill is I can turn my wife from a good mood to a bad mood in three seconds flat. That's pretty good odds. What about I am a phenomenal poorer. I never spill anything. I love that. That's pretty good odds. What about, I am a phenomenal pourer. I never spill anything. I love that. That's good. That's so practical. I don't have this skill and I'm impressed by
Starting point is 00:50:13 people who do. I can travel to a location once and remember how to get there using landmarks that I remember seeing. It's quite amazing. Yeah. In your old house, I probably drove to your house, oh, how many times over four years, I had to use the maps every single time to get there. Every single time. Yeah, how pathetic have we got? I know. As human beings. We've become completely reliant on it.
Starting point is 00:50:38 You know, someone else said, I love this one. Did you just read that? The dad one? No, where's the dad one? My dad can smell when a cop is within one kilometre. I love it. What about this one? I can day drink for hours and then do my make-up perfectly.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Do you have any idea how amazing that skill is? I don't, but it sounds impressive. That is unbelievable.

We've done our calculations and here's your birthday banger Goodbye my friend You said you could love Cause you can feel you're here Spice Girls
Starting point is 00:53:11 Their goodbye song Goodbye Was this the end of the Spice Girls though? Yeah Was it? Yeah In 98? Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:19 Time will never change I think That's what this song was. I thought Spice Girls came out in 97. Or was it Viva La... Yeah, Viva Forever. Viva Forever was the goodbye song. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:32 And what the hell's the goodbye song then? I don't know, but do you like it, Chrissy? Do you know Chrissy? Yeah, it's a good song, but yeah, something you probably have at the end of the night with your lighter out. Yeah, totally, totally. It's not my favourite Spice Girls song, obviously. I didn you probably have at the end of the night with your lighter out. Yeah, totally. It's not my favourite Spice Girls song. Obviously, I didn't know anything about it.
Starting point is 00:53:52 It's a shame. It's definitely not their farewell song. Viva Forever. Viva Forever was their farewell song, I'm sure. I think Viva Forever was their comeback song after Jerry left. God, now I'm confused. I think that was the first one they put out after Jerry left. Yes, Claude? You're actually right. It is about when Jerry left, but it's goodbye as Jerry left,
Starting point is 00:54:09 so it's a song to her to say goodbye to Jerry. And Viva Forever is... Must be their last song. The Spice Girls' last song. Let's just stick with that. Tomorrow, tractor chat or Spice Girls deep dive chat. Yeah, 9696, what do you want? Tara's here.

Starting point is 00:56:18 Wow. You're the winner. Woo-hoo. We made the right decision. Brian Clint, you're on Zeddy, and this is from 98. Natalie Imbruglia. Sorry, Imbruglia. Imbruglia.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Imbruglia. That's the pronunciation, yeah. The winner of Birthday Banger from 98. That was Nora doing it for her mum. We never even got mum's name, but Nora, that's for your mum. Well done, Nora. You won. Thank you to our Spice Girls historians who have been texting through.
Starting point is 00:56:52 We've got there in the end. We've established that the Spice Girls' last song was not Goodbye. It was actually this song, Holla, was their Goodbye song. I feel like I'm not a Spice Girls fan. How did I not know this? Do you know this? Oh, banger. Is it?
Starting point is 00:57:11 Yeah. Oh, was it a good place to end it? I didn't know they went down the R&B route. Viva Forever was their comeback song as a foursome after Ginger Spice left. Yes. And they performed it at a music awards from memory.
Starting point is 00:57:30 At the Brits, I think. And of course, Viva La Vida was Coldplay. No one has more Spice Girls facts than this show. No one. Well, not now that we did our research.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Yeah, we just covered it off. 20 minutes ago. Turns out we didn't know Jack. Play the other one. Play the hollow one again. I can't believe that that's their song. No, I'm on to Coldplay now. I saw this today.
Starting point is 00:58:00 It's the, they come out all the time, but it's an expert Who's published a list of How often you should be washing The things in your house There's a lot of things to wash There is It's a never ending cycle We just washed
Starting point is 00:58:12 For the first time In I reckon A year Yeah We washed our couch cushions Did you? See my couch is leather So I couldn't wash it
Starting point is 00:58:22 No the cushion's on the couch Yeah I know Yeah Oh okay As in not the cushion's on the couch. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Oh, okay. As in not the couch. Oh, I worded it wrong. Yeah. The.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Yeah, I know what you mean. The free cushions. The throw cushions. The throw cushions. That's the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I find these things interesting because no one makes you wash anything. It's completely up to you how frequently or infrequently you wash anything, including
Starting point is 00:58:45 your own body. I feel like people don't teach this really. No, and they don't. So, what is the correct way to live a clean, hygienic experience? Let's find out and let's start with towels. Before I do, how often do you wash your towel? Once a week. Claudia, how often do you wash your towel? On average, once a week.
Starting point is 00:59:01 I just use my mum's and decide when it needs a wash. That's so yuck. Disgusting. You're sharing a towel with someone? I wash my towel once a week and turns out we're all disgusting. You should be washing your towel after every three to four uses. Not days, but uses. That's assuming I don't only shower three times a week.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Wow, that's a great point. But you're drying yourself once you're clean. It says towels don't just absorb water. They collect sweat, body oils, and dead skin cells. Yeah, but I've just washed myself. Okay, I'm using my own now. Okay, let's go to bed sheets. How often are we washing our sheets?
Starting point is 00:59:34 Bree? Probably once a fortnight. Once a fortnight. About once a fortnight. Ella? Same. No, she sleeps in her mum's bed. No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I just use my mum's. Even if you shower before bed, this expert says you should be changing your bed sheets once a week as a rule of thumb. Yeah, in our household, sometimes it's once a week, depending. Yeah. But mostly once a fortnight. Depending on what? If the dogs get dirty and run all over the bed. They said you shed 500 million.
Starting point is 01:00:06 Shut up. Yeah, we know what you're doing. Shut up. Depends whether that dog's come out. Yeah, the dog is a code name for my wife. You shed 500 million skin cells a day. You spend a third of the day in bed, so you shed 160 million skin cells in your bed every night.
Starting point is 01:00:28 And because you don't shower before bed, you should be changing them every three days. You want to bring that dog out. You keep the dog away. Let's go quickly. Your duvet cover should be washed anywhere between two weeks and two months, depending on whether you use a top sheet or not. Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:00:45 We just wash it all at once. Do you? Yeah. No, I don't. Like everything a fortnight. Yeah, well, we've got a top sheet. Yeah, we've got a top sheet. So we're better than people who don't.
Starting point is 01:00:55 I was forced to have one. What are your curtains? Is anybody here washing their curtains? Never. We had our curtains dry cleaned once, but it's only because they got... Mouldy? Not mouldy, but they were just grubby.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Yeah. It's a good idea. I've never thought about it. It says you should wash your curtains every three to 12 months. What? Every three months? I ain't getting up there and unhooking those. No way.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Of course you're cleaning my curtains. God, no. I keep dreaming. Also, are you rubbing your naked body on the curtains? How are they getting so dirty? Yeah, exactly. Get the dogs out on the curtains? How are they getting so dirty? Yeah exactly Get the dogs out on the curtains You should wash your bath mat every week
Starting point is 01:01:28 Yeah bath mat's disgusting to me Bath mat is the cesspit of the bathroom Yeah yeah You should wash your pillowcases every few days Oh what? Or at a minimum once a week Oh yeah Because you drool on it
Starting point is 01:01:41 Yeah some people are more bigger droolers than others. Yeah, I'm a big drooler. Me too, actually. My part is a big drooler. That's how I know I've had a good sleep with my pillows wet. You wake up like, eww. That's so yuck, isn't it? Two more. Tea towels?
Starting point is 01:01:54 How often are you washing your tea towels? Oh. Oh, you said something gross the other day. What did I say? That you weren't a daily tea towel changer. What? Who changes it daily? When did I say that?
Starting point is 01:02:03 You did. I accused you of having smelly tea towels and you got really offended. Well, that's not my domain. Okay. So I reckon we probably change our tea towel once every three days. Really? But we have a dishwasher, so we're not drying heaps of dishes with them. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Stop bragging about your dishwasher. You should be changing it. Shut up. I'm allowed to say that we've got a dishwasher. Oh, what's her name? Far out. Shut up! Having a dishwasher does not make me unrelatable.
Starting point is 01:02:36 She says from her ivory tower. Says you. Don't get me started on you. We're talking about what cars we drive here. Bree doesn't change her tea towel. She throws it away. Bree and Clint. And that is the end of the Bree and Clint show.
