We are in the garden city of Christchurch right now and Brie is trying to Uber Eats us some of the dish of the nation or the predicted dish of the nation. We don't have an actual winner yet but it is looking very

likely that the humble pie won't be so humble and it's going to take out the national dish. It's going to have bragging rights. It's not a done deal. It's got a strong lead, but there are still two hours of voting left. If you have kind of missed

the last couple of days of Dish of the Nation, the final is on, and it's sausage and bread versus meat pie. And in two hours, we pushed it out to close at five o'clock today. In two hours, the voting is going to close. If you are passionate about your sausage and bread, you should go and vote for it now on the Brand Clean Instagram story. Otherwise, it's going to close. If you are passionate about your sausage and bread, you should go and vote for it now on the Brand Client Instagram story.

Otherwise, it's going to be gone. You need to do it right now. And, I mean, if you can get together like a group of people to really rally behind sausage and bread or else I think – Like a real sausage party. Like a real sausage party or else I feel like it's all meat pie at this point. Yep. Also,

if someone is in Christ, if you know Christchurch, if you know the Christchurch area well, where's a great place to buy pies? At three o'clock. At three o'clock on a Thursday. Yeah. Because we want to have a celebratory pie, but we don't know where to get them from because we're not locals. We're not locals and I don't want to get

a bad one. I'm not looking for like a pie that's been in the dairy pie warmer all day. No, we're looking for a nice, nice decent. A special occasion, okay? Yes, special occasion pie. What do we pair pie with? Probably champagne, eh? Probably, yeah.

so this is your last chance to go and vote at Bree and Clint on Instagram. We are in Christchurch. We walked from the square to where we were broadcasting from earlier today. Delightful. Can I just say, every time I come down to Christchurch, I have an overwhelming urge to live in Christchurch. Beautiful city. Oh.

Beautiful city. You know what people love to say? So walkable. It is so walkable. It's so walkable. It's so walkable that there's probably a pie shop within distance to where we are. That we could walk to. That we could walk to.

But we're Aucklanders and we're not used to that. Yeah, we're scared. We crossed an intersection and there was a man there doing something that I've never seen done before. Yeah, he should have been taken to the police station if I was on. I'm just kidding. I'm joking. He was in an official capacity in high-vis with a special tool. On the job.

He was cleaning the traffic lights. He had a special long pole which had like a 90-degree bend at the end of it with a circular brush specially designed to go into the bit where the traffic light is, and he went, shk, shk, shk, shk, shk, shk, shk, and cleaned, individually cleaned, each one of the traffic light lenses. You and I kind of looked at each other,

and we were like, never seen that before. I said to him, I said to the guy, you know what? That is a job that I never knew existed. And he said to us, it's more than that. Did you know that every intersection in Christchurch needs a warrant of fitness? And it's my job to go around and clean the lights,

check the buttons, make sure all the lights are working, make sure all the lines are painted, and each, once a year, every intersection in Christchurch has to get a warrant of fitness. It's a remake. And that's my job, to go around and check the intersections. Isn't that wild? Do you reckon he's got his favourite intersection?

You'd have to. You know, like he's got his top five? You'd have to. Where he's like, oh, you know what's a hot intersection. Oh, you guys, if you guys don't do anything like that, you should head down to the corner of Madras and St Asif. Oh. Oh.

St Asif, am I right? That's a nice Asif. It's very hard for that guy to mentally log off, you know, because even when he's driving home, he's going through an intersection. He's going, oh, I'm going to be back here tomorrow. And if he sees something wrong, he has to go, don't think about it. Don't think about it, Dave. Don't think about it.

You know, you're not working now. Yeah, you're off the clock. Anyway, I didn't know that an intersection warrant of fitness. What would his role be called? I have absolutely no idea. Intersection inspector? Intersection inspector maybe, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Intersection crusader. Appropriate for Christ's sake. That's what I mean. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, job I never knew that existed. Got me thinking about other jobs

that people might not be aware of and I've been googling. Do you want to hear some that I found? Yeah, what are jobs that we don't realise exist? There's a job for an ethical hacker, which is someone whose job it is to find weaknesses in organisations' IT systems. So you go home and it's your job to hack into your company so you can say to them, hey, I hacked the mainframe, this is how people get in.

Do you reckon our company's had that recently and that's why it's so hard to get onto the Wi-Fi? Yeah. I can't get on the... It's so well protected now at our company. We need an ethical hacker to get on the Wi-Fi. Yeah, we can't even get on the Wi-Fi now. And we work here.

There's a job for a video game tester. It's a real job where you, before the game gets released to the market, it's your job to play the crap out of the game and find any flaws, any issues, any glitches. There's a bug here, there's this, there's that. There's a job for a snake milker.

Wasn't that what they called you at university? Didn't you have that job for a bit? That was an off-air chat we had. Snake milkers extract venom from various species of snake and then they use the venom to make anti-venom. I actually knew that existed because I've seen it done before. Really?

Yeah. At my last job, we had a reptile centre down the road from us and this guy came in. Yeah. He bought a king brown, a black mumba, and I can't remember, there was another one, and he milked these snakes in front of us. And I just went, I was like, I'd rather not be here, eh?

He milked his black mumba in front of you. He milked his black mumba, and the amount of venom that came out of that black mumba, you should have seen the size of the snake. Yeah, terrifying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. There's also a job for a pet food taster,

and that's exactly what it sounds like. A person who tastes pet food to evaluate the flavours and textures of the pet food to make sure, do like quality control. So when the can says new and improved flavour on the dog food, that's the person who they get that opinion from. That doesn't really make sense to me, because why would a human be the taste tester for animal food? Because if you give it to a dog, the dog's going to be like, that was great. And then you give it to him a different way and he's like, that was also great. But yeah, like your product's not being eaten by other humans. Yeah, I know.

You know, it's being eaten by animals. Well, you teach the dog to talk and then we'll fire the guy. Mate, it's coming. AI with AI, it's not far away. Here's a random question for you guys. Do you have a job that people don't know exists? Is the job that you do

so random and weird that when you tell people, they're like, oh my god, I had no idea that existed. It was like the job Chandler's character had on Friends. What the hell was that? A transponster. A transponster. Still don't know what that is.

You can text it into 9696 and we'd love to hear about yourster. Still don't know what that is. 0800-ZM. Or you can text it into 9696. And we'd love to hear about your job that people don't know about. Bree and Clint. We're in Christchurch. And today we met an intersection inspector. A man who goes around, checks the intersections work. He's got a special tool for cleaning the traffic lights. Makes sure all the buttons are working and the sounds are on.

He did to me. Did he seem to you like he loved his job? Yeah. He did, eh? Yeah. He had a smile on his face. He talked to us about what he did. That guy's saving lives every day.

You realise that? Well, he is. If the traffic lights aren't in order, that can be dangerous times. So we asked, do you have a job that people don't know exists? And we've got Brian on the phone. Hi, Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi, Brian. Yeah, hey, team.

How you going? We're good. Good, mate. No one knows that your job exists. What do you do? I import and my company distributes incinerating toilets. Incinerating toilets? Toilets.

What are you incinerating? All your black waste. So urine, feces, sanitary products, all 100 uses you get a cup full of sterile ash just to put on your garden. What? You're cooking people's poo-poos. Yes, made in Norway for 26 years. Wow.

To be honest, Brian, I'm doing that at home without an incineration torch. That's after too many wines. Exactly, Brian. Not to be too graphic. Does it stink, Brian? No, no. It's got a mini crematorium and it's got a catalytic converter in there that takes any odours away.

Guy's a good salesman. Yeah, he's a great salesman. You know what? If I had a choice between an incinerator toilet, like Brian's talking about, and the family cloth. Or a long drop. Or a long drop. I'm going the incineration toilet. like Brian's talking about, and the family cloth. Or a long drop. Or a long drop. I'm going the incineration toilet.

Yeah, yeah. For sure. What's an incineration toilet run for, Brian? How much? So, start at $8,000, including GST. That's not too bad. I mean, you know, a new fancy toilet these days ain't cheap. Yeah.

Well, they're a crematorium and septic tank all in one, you see. Do you tell people that those toilets are hot shit? Hot shit. They're great. Yeah, yeah. All right, thanks, Brian. What an interesting job, Brian. Let's go to Anonymous.

Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. You're a nutritionist for cows. I am, yeah. I've never heard of that before. Mostly cows. What are you trying to help the cows do?

Lose weight, gain muscle, get ripped for R&V? Mostly make milk and sometimes put weight on. Right, okay. And what's the best thing? Like, what are you normally recommending? Grass? Well, grass mostly. And then just, I guess, we kind of work within a farmer's budget

with what feed they can afford. And yeah, spend a lot of time looking at cow shit. Yeah. To see how well the gap's working. Studying the cow pats. Can I ask you while you're here, Anonymous, get a bit of free advice for my dad who runs, you know, quite a lot of cattle at home. He's feeding the cattle quite often a bit of free advice for my dad who runs, you know, quite a lot of cattle at home. He's feeding the cattle quite often a lot of apples. What would you say to that? It's pretty easy to kill a cow with apples.

Right. Whether they choke on them or whether they get... These are quite rotten ones. Yeah. Don't the seeds have cyanide in them? I don't know about that. Okay, don't listen about that. Oh. Okay, don't listen to me. I have no idea.

So they're no good for the cows, you reckon, Anonymous? Oh, they're all right. This is bad news, Anonymous. My dad's been feeding his cows apples for 30 years. Thanks so much. Let's go to Mark on 0800 DALZM. Hi, Mark. Hi, Mark.

Hey, guys. How are you going? Good, thanks. We're good. We're talking about jobs people. Hi, Mark. Hey, guys. How are you going? Good, thanks. We're good. We're talking about jobs people don't know exist. What's yours? Yeah. Well, I'm, I guess, classed as a bed inspector.

Sorry, mattresses. Mattresses, yeah. What do you do for that job, Mark? Well, it's kind of a worrying thing, but people would, you know, call up me, you know, or claim for a mattress that they reckon is failing, so I've got to go into their house and actually look at it and lie on it and decide whether it actually is a problem or not. You go to other people's houses and lie on their beds?

Yeah, into their bedrooms, all sorts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. Do you have the problem that nobody thinks you have a hard job, that nobody thinks you do a hard day's work? Depends on what mattress he's lying on. No, 100%. Like, everyone thinks it's a great time, but most of the time they're bad mattresses, right?

Yeah. Oh. Mark, in your expert opinion, what is the best mattress on the market right now? Probably a king coil mattress. A king coil. Okay, that's from an expert. Okay.

Thanks, Mark. We appreciate it. Lots of texts coming in about jobs you might not know about. Someone said, I'm a nurse and the government doesn't believe that we exist. Yeah, that's pretty true. That's a good one. Someone texted and they said, I'm a beta reader.

I get paid per hour of reading to read unedited, unpublished books before they go out to the market. That's so interesting. I'd hate that job. I wonder if they read my book before it went out to the market. And I wonder what they said about it. They probably gave it one star. What about this one? I sell semen for a living.

The townies love this one. Bull semen mainly. And by the way, for the dairy cows so we can continue our amazing dairy industry, my dad recently bought some bull semen. Did he? You know how much my dad paid? How much? For bull semen? How much? Got imported from America.

Yeah. Is it not a lie? Yeah. Nine grand. Really? Yeah. For one tube? I don't know how much. How many cows do you get out of one tube? I'm not sure. Out of nine grand? I'm not sure. We'd have to ask my dad, but. It's a much easier way to transport cows, isn't it? Yeah. Than shipping the whole cow over. Well, it is, yeah.

I mean, it's better than, you know, letting them inbreed, isn't it? Yep. There's that. Yep. Bree and Clint. Speaking of your family, we're going to get your mum on next. Bree and Clint. We have, for the last two weeks, been trying to find the dish of the nation,

the dish that will represent all of New Zealand. The one thing that we can rally around and go, hey, this is our national dish. Because we feel like we've been lacking that. Yes, we have indeed and this has been the biggest thing that has been happening in this country for the last couple of weeks. We've had the Prime Minister on.

He's been on to comment. There's been thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of votes that have been cast. And I got a text message from someone who is quite unhappy with us. My mother, Mama Di, messaged me quite upset as she's very invested in this whole thing. And as she doesn't have Facebook or Instagram, she has not been able to cast her vote. Oh, no.

So please welcome to the show for your verbal verbal vote, Mum, Mumadai. Hi. Hi, guys. I'm so excited, but I'm very unhappy that I couldn't cast my vote. Went on a few times, and I couldn't work out your father's Facebook, but that's another story. We need to set up your own Instagram, Mama Di's Instagram. Could be dangerous.

Yeah, we'll get your TikTok, your Noni fans. Imagine Mama Di doing Instagram lives. You have joined us just in time because we're in the final. So do you want to cast a vote on the radio? Because we'll make it count. We'll include it in the final tally. Do you want to do that? Absolutely. As long as it's included in the tally, yes. So would you like to vote in the third, fourth playoff

first? Yes. So I don't know if you've had either of these dishes. Bree, do you think your mum's had... Well, we have hokey pokey in Australia. I know it's a Kiwi thing, but yeah, we do have hokey pokey. Mum and I know it's a Kiwi thing, but yeah, we do have hokey pokey. Mama Di, have you had Kiwi onion dip? No, I haven't. So? I'll go into that later.

Okay. Okay. Okay. So what are you going to vote for, hokey pokey or Kiwi onion? Go with your gut. Well, absolutely, in my opinion, and I have had it before but maybe not in New Zealand, I have to go with the Kiwi onion dip. Oh, so you have had the dip?

Well, I've had onion dip, but I reckon the Kiwis will do it that much better than anyone else. It's that much better than normal onion dip, yeah. Okay, alright, we'll take it. You're voting with the majority at the moment. That one is well in the lead to take out third place, so you're in good company. Oh, really? Yes, well done. Do you know what is currently in a battle for this top spot, Mum, the grand final? Well, I'm hoping it's my favourite. Oh, here we go. Yeah, so you tell me. No, you tell us what your favourite is.

Oh, well, it's the chip sandwich. Oh, the Vegemite or Marmite and Chippy sandwich. Oh, she's talking about the hot chip sandwich, the hot chip buddy. Hot chip buddy. Hot chip buddy. It was a strong contender. It made the quarterfinals, Di. Oh, I didn't make it. Yeah. Oh, I'm so sorry, buddy. It was a strong contender. It made the quarterfinals die.

I didn't make it. No, I'm so sorry, Mum. Well, see, that's where the last time I went on and tried to find out what was going on, and it was four of them left. No, your options are, your options for the grand final are meat pie or sausage and bread. Oh, really? Yeah. And they got rid of the kiwi onion dip. Oh, really? Yeah.

And they got rid of the kiwi onion dip. Oh, come on, guys. Yeah. I know. Sausage and bread beat kiwi onion dip by a very, very narrow margin. The battle of the whole competition, to be honest. But we need your vote. What is it?

Meat pie or sausage? Well, I reckon you can't go past the meat pie. Wow! Like mother, like daughter. Oh, loves herself a meat pie. I like a good bit of beef, so I reckon the meat pie for sure. Yeah, girl. She loves a steak and cheese, if you know what I mean, eh?

Yeah, I thought you loved a sausage. But, Di, it counts, okay? Your vote I thought you loved his sausage. But, um... Di, it counts, okay? Your vote is going in. It closes at five o'clock. Thank you for casting a vote in Dish of the Nation. Appreciate it, Mum. I have to say, guys, it's been a great elimination battle, too.

It's just been great. Oh, you've enjoyed it? Oh, mate, it's been up there with the Battle of the Centuries, you know, like, um... People are loving it. Celebrity Treasure Island. I mean, it's just been up there. Absolutely.

Yeah, we appreciate that, Di. Thank you, Mum. That's nice of you to say. Nearly a quarter of a million votes have been cast, so we're looking forward to crowning the winner. It's all going down at five o'clock. We'll talk to you soon, Di. Thanks so much.

Love you, Mum. Love you. Thanks. That's Bree's mum. down at 5 o'clock. We'll talk to you soon, Di. Thanks so much. Love you, Mum. Love you. Thanks. That's Bree's mum. Including me. Bree and Clint. We are currently in Christchurch for O-Week. Very excited to be here.

How good's Christchurch? How good's Christchurch? How good's Ori 25? Ori 25 is where it's at. And we're staying at a lovely place just near Cathedral Square called Distinction, the Distinction Hotel. And when we arrived today, one of those situations happened which always can go either way. It's always a 50-50. When someone comes up to you and they say, oh, my God, I know you're doppelganger.

You know, in those situations, it's happened to all of us where someone comes up to you and says that and then they go, I'll show you a photo of them. And you're always like, this could be bad. This person's about to either really compliment me or really insult me. Exactly. And this guy was so lovely because he came up to me.

He's like, oh, I love listening to your guys show. And I've always thought this family friend of ours, this friend named Holly looks exactly like you, Bree. She's your doppelganger. Every time I see her, I'm like, that is Bree. And anyway, he was adamant that he wanted to show me a photo. And was like, oh. Uh-oh. I was like, I'm worried. I was like, I've got faith that I'm sure Holly is going to be a beautiful young woman. Yeah, what if it's not? Beautiful young lady and he said, oh, she's about to get married in Italy. I was like, okay. So she's around the same age as me probably and finally he ends up finding a photo and he goes i've got a photo and he turns the phone around for me to have a look and i lay my eyes on this doppelganger of mine

she's gorgeous yeah absolute stunner way better looking than me and it was a big compliment but it could have been bad so you take that i literally said to him, I went, I'm flattered, thank you. I think, you know, she might be a bit offended, but I'm happy with that. It's like when someone comes up to you and it's not someone that you know that they're comparing you to, like a celebrity. Yeah. Like my one that I've told the story of a hundred times is the guy who told me that I was the spitting image of Ricky Gervais.

And he didn't see it as an insult when he was saying it, but to me... Ricky Gervais is alright. It's not my goal... To look like Ricky Gervais. Yeah, no, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.

I got another one the other week where someone DM'd me and they said, I'm watching that show The Empress on Netflix. The Empress? Okay. And they were adamant. They're like,

you look like the guy in The Empress. And I was like... I need to see. I need to see. So Bree, she's going to Empress? Okay. And they were adamant. They're like, you look like the guy in The Empress. And I was like, they said, show Bree. She's going to agree. Okay. You look, you're the spitting image of the guy in The Empress. And I went and Googled it as well. You tell me. Is that me?

I mean, little bit. Yeah, kind of. It's a guy with a ginger moustache. I mean, if you both shaved off your moustaches, I don't think you'd look as much alike, you know. But I think, yeah, I can see that. It's just a white guy with a side part. I can see it. I can see that one.

Yeah. Yeah. We've done this before and it's always good. We want to ask you guys, who's the offensive doppelganger you got given? Yeah, what was the person that someone said, hey, you look exactly like such and such. Oh my God, I thought you were such and such.

Has anyone ever told you you're the spitting image of such and such? Has anyone ever said you look exactly like the dad from Family Guy? Oh my God, you look so much like 2024 Amanda Bynes. You know? I would have been stoked with 2010 Amanda Bynes. See, that's the difference.

Yeah. We're asking about your doppelgangers, unfortunate doppelgangers that you got landed with. Someone came over and said, oh my God, you look so much like... Such and such. And you didn't take it as a compliment. You were like,

I hope I don't. Let's go to Penny on our $800 at M. Hi, Penny. Hi, Penny. Hi. Was it you that got a800 at M. Hi, Penny. Hi, Penny. Hi. Was it you that got a bad doppelganger, Penny? I very nearly got a bad doppelganger. So I was out at a bar with my husband in Wellington quite a few years ago.

And the waitress, all the way through the meal, the waitress was like, you look really familiar. You look really familiar. And at the end, she came up and she was like, I know, I know where I know you from. And I was like, okay. And she said, you know that movie White Chicks? Yeah. And I was like, oh my God. It was okay. She thought I looked like one of the women from White Chicks. Oh, she didn't think you looked like one of the Wayans brothers in drag.

Exactly. What a beautiful chocolate man. Oh, she didn't think you were like one of the Wayans brothers in drag. Exactly. It was so admissible. What a beautiful chocolate man. Oh, thank God for that. Close call, Penny. Close call. Thank you.

Very close call. Let's go to Kendra. Hi, Kendra. Hi, Kendra. Hi. Bad doppelgangers. Who did someone say you look like? Well, I'm from Gore and I was down the main street and an old guy came up to me and said

you look exactly like that girl on that TV show. I went, what TV show? And he goes, The Chase. And I was hoping it was The Vixen. Yeah, The Vixen, Pretty Woman? Yes. Oh, The Governess.

Yeah, what's the other lady's name? The governess. The governess, is it, or something? Yes. Yeah. Did he think you looked like the governess? So I've got black glasses, so I'm hoping it was the vixen. Yeah.

Oh, it could have been really bad, Kendra. It could have been the beast. I know. Could have been the dark destroyer. If you've got black glasses, 100% it was the Vixen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and she's a looker. Great classic gore comment, though.

He was probably on his way home to watch the chase, too. Yeah. Perfect. Thanks, Kendrick. Katie's on the phone. Hi, Katie. Hi, Katie. Hello.

How are you? Good, thank you, mate. Who was it? Who did you get told you looked like and it wasn't very nice? It's happened multiple times from several different people. Oh, no. It's not that bad, but I have been told that I look like a super nanny. That's such a good one.

And you're right, it's not that bad, but it's quite funny. But it's not that bad, but it's quite funny. Right, but like back in the 2000s, I had the rectangular glasses, you know, in the dark here in a barn. And any time I'd go on a job interview, you've got the suit jacket on, you know? Yes, yeah, yeah. Not ideal, but the worst part is I'm an early childhood teacher. Oh, no. So, yeah, I have my eyes lasered since

so that I don't have to be reminded. I think you got your eyes lasered just so they'd stop calling you super nanny. Not for your own vision, just for the comparisons. Sometimes just for fun do you put on an English accent and just try and trick people? Yeah, it's not acceptable.

It's not acceptable. Go and sit in the corner. That's pretty good. Thanks so much. Thank you, Katie. We appreciate it. Someone texted and they said, when I was born, a man came around to celebrate my birth and he told my mum that I looked like Gollum. Most babies do. Most babies do. You don't say it to the mum. You say, oh my God, that baby is beautiful. Yeah, they grow into their ears and head most of the time.

Someone else said, someone recently told me I was a double for Adele. But then they also felt the need to add the before she lost weight. No. That person deserves a kick in the teeth. That's so rude. I was a model for a drawing class and one lady drew a picture in the teeth. That's so rude. I was a model for a drawing class and one lady drew a picture of Winston Peters. Apparently I look like him.

I'm a woman. That's brutal. Maybe it was a metaphor. Yeah. It was a metaphor of what that person was feeling or saw. Maybe you've got a Winston Peters energy about you. Yeah. Maybe you look like you smoke and you're anti-immigration.

Yeah. And maybe that's the vibe they were drawing. That's so funny. My mum said that my girlfriend looked like Barbra Streisand. Just side on. My girlfriend never recovered from that. Oh. Barbra Streisand's like pretty.

She is. She's a lovely looking woman, but she does have a prominent nose feature. That's for sure. And she's beautiful, but that is just your mum's weird workaround for telling your partner to her face that she has a big nose. Yeah, which is not nice. Someone else said, I got compared to Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect. It was meant to be a compliment, as I'm funny,

but I'm also blonde and on the larger side. Kids can be brutal. They really can, eh? My brother has been told he looks like Nicolas Cage at least 20 times. He hates Nicolas Cage. He would not like to be named. He's Mick James Robinson from Tawa in Wellington. Brothers are ruthless.

He said he didn't want to be named. Someone else said, I get told I look like a tidier, younger Boris Johnson. I think it's the hair. Wow. They've tried to, like, dolly up the comparison there? Yeah, like, oh, a younger... Tidier. Tidier. Not young and...

Messer for humans. But also not young and tidy, just younger and tidier Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson. Cool, thanks, man. Appreciate it. Great. Brie and Clint. Time for a round of

What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic,

not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? We've reset the value. I think we're coming off a loss.

$50 in the pot plus three months of neon, and that's what you'll win if you take it out today, Anthony. Kia ora. Hi, Anthony. How's it going? There he is. There he is. Anthony, how are you feeling?

Are you confident in this game? Have you ever played before? I haven't played before, but I have, I guess, in my own friend group before. But Bree's pretty good. Bree is pretty good. How do you go in your own friend group? Oh, not too bad. But I guess we're quite biased, I guess you could say, with certain movies.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, right. I see what you're saying. Everyone's good at the movies that they like. Today, off the back of the Super Bowl, we're going to do sports movies. How does that sit with you? Oh, that should be interesting.

Yeah. Bree? Yeah, I don't mind a sports film. It's a broad topic. It is very broad. It's not just sports documentaries. It's just movies that are about a sport. Okay. You know? It's kind of the central. It's just movies that are about a sport. Okay. You know? Mm-hmm. It's kind of the central tenet of the movie.

Yeah. Anthony, your buzz is Anthony. Bree, yours is Bree. The first person to buzz in gets to guess. You don't have to wait for me to finish the plot line, okay? Two points wins the game. Good luck, guys. Best of luck, Anthony.

Movie plot number one. A tennis player turned coach has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. Brie. Wimbledon? Wimbledon is incorrect. Would you like a free guess, Anthony? No, I don't even know. I'll keep going.

To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play an event close to the lowest level of tournament on the Pro Tour. Tension soon runs high when he finds himself standing. Bree, the challengers. Zendaya. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen it. It's a fantastic movie.

Oh, you got it in the end too, Anthony. Yeah, you're right. She said Bree fantastic movie. Oh, you got it in the end too, Anthony. Yeah, you're right if she said Brie. Oh, no, Anthony. Okay, it's one point to Brie. Movie number two. All our hero has ever wanted is to be a professional something player, but he soon discovers that he may actually have a talent for playing an entirely

different sport. When his grandfather learns, when his grandmother... Happy Gilmore. Happy Gilmore. Even with me fumbling through it, you got it. So well done. Anthony, we can't give you the cash, but we can give you

three months of neon. Oh, thank you for that. You can take that and enjoy that and watch all the movies you like. White Lotus comes out on Monday which is going to be a ripper, season three, so thanks for playing, mate. Cool, cheers for that. We'll play for $100

in three months worth of neon next week. Bree and Clint. Married at First Sight is in full swing. It has the eyeballs of the nation at the moment. I didn't think I was going to get sucked in. I'm sucked in. And I'm okay with it now because I'm really enjoying it. And by enjoying it, I mean I'm getting incredibly angry

at these people every night when I watch this show. It's so infuriating, isn't it? Particularly the blokes on the show. I just don't understand. I keep saying to myself, why would you behave like that? Why would you do that? And then I have to remind myself oh, these people are single and on a show that finds them a partner

for a reason. The thing that worries me, right, when I watch this show, and look, I know we're not perfect. No, no, no not claiming to be. And relationships are hard, right? Yes, yep. But the thing that worries me is the fact that some of these people say and do certain things on this show, right?

Yeah. And they know that cameras are on them. That's the craziest bit to me. So imagine no cameras. I know you shouldn't do it, but when I see it, I go, maybe don't be your authentic self for a bit. Yeah, I reckon just fake it., maybe don't be your authentic self for a bit. Yeah, I reckon just fake it. Maybe just, maybe don't be so vulnerable.

Be anything but yourself. The thing that has fired me up over the last few episodes is the partner ranking thing, where they give you the images of the opposite sex that are in the experiment after the first dinner party, and it's your job to rank them in order of attractiveness, in your opinion, and then the last thing you do is you place your wife in that order. Do you put her at most attractive, least attractive, or somewhere in the middle? It's always so interesting to me how this particular challenge, because it's been running for a few seasons now, it always gets a couple. It always gets a couple.

A few fall into the trap. The producing gold television trap of where some people go, well, they said to be honest, and I'm going to be blatantly honest. That's the line. I'm just being honest. This is Ryan ranking his wife. Everyone knows that. You should always put your wife first.

I'll put you third. All right, that's it. Yeah, that's my honest interpretation of that. Yeah, Sierra to me has a much more attractive face. And yeah, she has dark hair and that's what absolutely slays me. Yeah, she's very attractive. Sierra is not his wife. That's someone else.

He ranked his wife third equal and she was obviously upset and he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just being honest. To be honest, maybe fourth. He's not the only man to do it. I can't even talk about it because it makes me so angry. Because all you have to do, yeah. The way he was talking was like he was

proud of what he'd just done. If you feel the need to show that you're attracted to other women in the experiment, it gives you the option for that too. It lets you put the hottest one at the top of the list in your mind, and then all you have to do at the end is go, but no one compares to you, babe. But you're at the top. That's it.

She is hot, but not as hot as you. Not as hot as my wife. This is where it comes down to the fact of sometimes it is okay to lie. Yes. You know? That is a white lie. These people need that fundamental lesson. Like when your partner comes out and says, do I look fat in this?

No. No, you don't. The answer's no. You look great. Am I the hottest woman you've ever seen? Yes. Yes. Of course you are.

100%. Do you love me more than your ex? Yes. Yes. No doubt. No doubt in my mind. Do you ever think about ever seen? Yes. Yes, of course you are. 100%. Do you love me more than your ex? Yes. Yes. No doubt. No doubt in my mind. Do you ever think about your ex? No.

Never. These are default answers. Your partner... And don't even think about it when someone asks the question. When your partner asks the question, there needs to be no lag time. No lag time.

Can I go a step further? Your partner doesn't want the truth. Yeah. Your partner wants one of those answers that we just gave. That is when you need to lie to your partner. Reassurance. Lie, lie, lie. Here's a question for you guys that could be a bit, you know,

could be opening old wounds. But we thought we could ask, partner, ex, somebody, parent, I don't know, someone, when were they, quote, just being honest? Maybe it was your boss. And you didn't want to hear it. You didn't need to hear it. They said something to you and they went, oh, but I'm just being honest.

But it's good to be honest. No, it's not. Oh, did you want me to lie? Well, I'm just being honest. Oh, $800 at him, or text it to 9696, like the grooms on Married at First Sight. Who was, quote, just being honest? Bree and Clint. Married at First Sight is in full swing,

and the men on there arguably being too honest or just being dicks, to be honest. Maybe the rate your partner challenge is a classic. They love doing it on Married at First Sight. It's where they line up all of the opposite sex images and then you have to put them in order of hotness and then at the end you put your husband or wife in there. And even a moron could tell you, unless you really don't like them,

you put your wife or husband in first place. Even if you don't think it. Even if you don't think it, even if you don't think it yet, you've got to spend another eight weeks living in that tiny apartment with them on TV. So they always come through and they say, well, I'm just being honest. So we've asked you guys to text us on 9696 and tell us who was just being honest, quote, just being honest. Someone texted and said, my ex was just being honest when he told me that his sister is hotter than me. Oh, are we on?

I'm just, yeah, yeah. Oh, sorry about that. Sorry, we got it moving. My partner, he said, my sister is hotter than you. Oh, okay. There's a lot to unpack in that. A whole lot to unpack

and I hope that you and that person aren't together anymore. My husband told me that I'm arguably too low maintenance. What does that even mean? You're too low maintenance. You're arguably too low maintenance. Yeah, I don't know how I'd take that either, to be honest. It's quite an interesting one. My ex said to me, I feel about you like that Ed Sheeran song.

You need me, but I don't need you. Wow. Don't bring Ed Sheeran into your bracket. I'm glad that's your ex. That's all I can say. I'm glad that's your ex. Due to pregnancy, I grew stomach hair. Just a small snail trail.

My partner told me that it was hard to look at. Oh! Wow! We're not together anymore. It's been over for two years, and I still think about it every time I look at my stomach. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's not a you problem.

That's a them problem. You're just being you. And that's completely normal, to be honest. Like, you're growing a human inside you. Your body is doing crazy things. Your body is incredible. Don't listen to that crap. Imagine being told that when you're already emotional and hormonal.

And who cares? It's a little bit of hair. Big deal. God, that makes me so angry. We had a family wedding and my mother-in-law paid for my makeup artist. I was done and I thought I looked hot. My husband said you could shovel that shit off with a spade. I like you looking more natural. Don't comment. Yeah.

Unless they go, oh, I really don't like it. And then you can be like, oh, no, I think, you know, back them up. Here's an alternate take. Someone's texting and they said, I always want the truth. I have eyes and I am not naive i know when something someone is hotter than me and i know when i look fat in something i ask my partner because i trust his opinion well that's an interesting take on it yeah but obviously your partner has a brain and and probably has lied to you before and and has read the room. Do you reckon that person has considered that? Maybe, but obviously you read your partner's energy, right? Because I agree

I want my partner to be honest with me. That's the person you share everything with. But if you're getting the vibe that your partner feels good and feels like they look good, even if you think the opposite you go with their energy. Unless you think they're going to make an idiot of themselves. Exactly. Obviously have their back. But even then, your partner wouldn't tell you in the way

that these married at first sight people would tell you. No. They wouldn't just brutally go, yeah, you're fourth. Yeah. They would go, they'd find a way of protecting your feelings while they told you a truth they felt that you needed to hear. Totally. Hopefully.

If you think something didn't look good on your partner, you'd be like, I think it looks great, but I think this might look even better. You know? Or maybe we're big wussies. Yeah. Maybe you just be brutally honest. Maybe we're hard enough.

Yeah. ZM's Brie and Clint. This is right you. Hello, everybody. We have just had the Dish of the Nation delivered to the studio because we know what it is, but we will have a crowning ceremony very shortly. Thank you if you had voted.

Stick around to find out the full results. Bree and Clint. That's Crystal and Notion and someone else. Who cares? It's Dish of the Nation time. Let's go, baby. Bree and Clint's Dish of the Nation. Oh, my God.

32 dishes. 31 losers. One Dish of the Nation. 32 dishes. 31 losers. One Dish of the Nation. We've been polling you guys on Instagram for over a week now to figure out what is the dish that we can all rally behind and go, this is us. This is New Zealand on a plate. Who needs the Rugby World Cup when you have this competition?

Well, further than that, the next Rugby World Cup winners should be presented with this alongside the trophy. You did right. When you get a gold medal for New Zealand at the Olympics, you should also receive this as the Dish of the Nation. The official dish of this nation, the representative food of this country. We have had thousands, thousands and thousands and thousands of votes. Actually, we'll cross to our social media manager, producer Ella, who's been running all of these polls for us.

Ella, how many votes have we had in Dish of the Nation? Okay, it's been a lot of maths, and I have the results. Officially, we had 183,742 votes. Wow! Yeah, I know. 14 days and that many votes. It's insane. That's incredible.

That is actually a great, like, section of people, like a great amount of votes where we could actually know who was the legit winner. Well, you can stand behind the decision, right? You know, like, it's not like there was 2,000 votes and you just have to kind of be like, oh, that was the, you know, the median. Yeah, that was the consensus.

Nah, this is like New Zealand, you know? People will be gutted for sure. Like Kiwi Onion Dip, which lost by a tiny, tiny margin. Although we can crown that as well now, can't we? We can say what came third. We sure can. Kiwi Onion Dip took it out in stunning fashion, taking down Hokey Pokey to get the bronze.

It's all about the grand final, though. And the winning dish of Dish of the Nation. Everyone, let's stand. The official dish. Everyone, stand up. Representing us is the meat pie. Let's go! It ended up dominating Sausage and Bread, the darling of the competition.

And look, we were big fans of sausage and bread, but at the end of the day, we stand behind the true winner and that was picked by you guys. Majority rules. You've got to, we talked about accessibility early in this competition and a pie is more accessible than a sausage and bread. If you

have a hankering for the dish of the nation, you can swing into a bakery, a petrol station, a fancy cafe, the freezer section at your local supermarket. Pies are everywhere. And what I think really got pie over the line was a couple of different things, is that I think it's such a big category because we did say from the start it made it the juggernaut of the competition.

Not only was it, you know, the humble mince pie, you had the steak and cheese, you had the fish pie, you had chicken pies. You had your freaks, your butter chicken pie people. So it covers such an array of people and what they like. And then two, I stand behind it, and I'll say it again,

New Zealand make the best pies in the world. That is I reckon true. reckon, true. It's true. Aussies accept that. Yep, the Aussies know it. People who come from overseas, Americans don't even know what they are.

So yeah, I agree. The pie is Kiwi, and the dish of the nation is the pie. The feedback is already coming in. Someone said, I am stuck in traffic with my one-and-a-half-year-old screaming. And hearing that pie has won dish of the nation has started

him dancing thank you so much you are welcome you are welcome new zealand uh and if you were one of the people that did vote uh we thank you for your service to this country the conversation doesn't need to end there though because yeah pie is the dish of the nation but what is the dish of the nation. But what is the pie of New Zealand? I feel a specialty pie coming on. What filling goes into the ultimate Kiwi pie? And it could be a pie that already exists or it could be a pie that we have to invent. I feel a limited edition pie coming on. I think that's a great idea.

The Brian Clint official pie of the nation. I think it's a great idea. If there is a pie company listening who could potentially distribute, produce and distribute a Dish of the Nation pie, we'd love to work with you guys. Absolutely. We are open to it.

This is something that this country needs. We could work with that. What's that lovely young lad on TikTok that makes pies? Oh, Daz's Pies. Daz's Pies. Get him on board to help us out. He does a great job, yeah. He's awesome.

Yeah, get in touch, 9696, if you're a pie mogul. But also, if you love pies, can we get some feedback from you guys? What do you think the flavour for the official New Zealand pie should be? Are we going into the second round of voting? I think we've got to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get some thought starters, okay? Yes, what is some thought starters around what is the flavour of the pie of the nation?

0800 dial ZM. Text your thoughts into 9696. Just a quick round of feedback. Just a quick round. Just a little bit. And then you guys can relax. You've already done enough. Someone said a sausage and bread pie.

Perfect. Hey, not a bad idea. Great start. Let's go. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Good news. We've got some good news for you.

The pie is the official dish of the nation. We're all happy. There were some great contenders that we all would have been happy. It was a great final, to be honest. Yeah. Great semifinals, great finals, but it came down to the fact that the pie took it out, got the most votes.

61% pie, 39% sausage and bread. it's good that it was clear cut i would have loved a really tight one but it's good to know definitively that yeah we agree that a meat pie is the dish of the nation the people wanted the pie and now we have the battle of what do we do to celebrate this i mean this isn't a small thing this is the representative dish of this country. We need to make some sort of signature pie to commemorate this momentous day. And we do not have the ability to do that. No, we need help. So we need help.

We've got a text here that says, we are pie makers right here in Christchurch. It is lovely to hear that the pie is the dish of the nation. Maybe we need to talk. Do you guys want to? Maybe we need to talk. Collab? We've asked you guys,

if we did do a signature dish of the nation pie, what is it? What is the flavour of that pie, the filling that would really, really stand out as the pie of the nation? I really like the people coming through with the sausage and bread kiwi dip pie. Sausage and bread with kiwi onion dip in the pie.

I really love the suggestion of someone said, what about potato top pie? They didn't say what in the pie. I really love the suggestion of someone said, what about potato top pie? They didn't say what in the actual pie, but in the potato top, you put the French onion soup mix in there. Oh, so it's extra creamy. So it gives the vibe of, you know, the kiwi onion dip. I love that idea. Yeah.

That is actually a great idea. This is very kiwi too. The pie of the nation is surely a roast lamb pie. Lamb, kumara, gravy, a bit of mint sauce. That sounds quite good. A lot of people coming through with the lamb roast pie. I had a thought in the break where I was like, have they ever done a fish and chip pie?

Have they ever done like not a fish pie because they're delicious. No, not a smoked fish pie. Not a smoked chip pie. Oh. Have they ever done like a, like not a fish pie because they're delicious. Not a smoked fish pie. Not a smoked fish pie. I love those. But something where it's the essence. So is it battered fish? Well, we would have to decide. Battered fish and then chips.

Chips. So maybe like, maybe like, like what are those tater tot things? Like. Potato gems. Yeah. What do they call them? Cofters. Potato cofters in there.

And then it's because you need to have some kind of like sauciness. Yeah. Tartier sauce. What is the tartier sauce? Is that the sauce? Tartier sauce. Tomato, some kind of tomatoey. I don't know.

I feel like tomato sauce could go on top. But a fish and chip pie hasn't been done before. Yeah. Someone said mince and cheese pie stuffed with fresh salt and vinegar chips. Mmm, that sounds alright. Yeah. A few people saying the steak and kidney pie, which. Steak and kidney, I like

a steak and kidney. I'm, I'm okay. Oh, really? You don't want a steak and kidney? I think I'm alright. Someone said hangi pie. That's a classic. It's a classic. Yeah. I mean, God, up north in this country, the power pie is one of my favorites. The creaminess of it, it's just spot on.

The East Coasties love a power pie as well. So much sausage and bread pies coming through. I don't understand how the bread would go into the pie. Yeah, look, is the bread technically the pastry? And is it just a straight sausage fest pie? Ella's here. I know 800 dials at him. Hi, Ella.

Hi, Ella. Hi, how's it going? Did you vote in Dish of the Nation, Ella? You know what? I couldn't decide. Oh. We had that problem too yesterday, Ella. And every time you guys

had something going on, it depends on your mood. Like, it's been so hot lately, all I want is real fruit ice cream. Yeah. Such a good point. It's so true. Are you disappointed that pie is the dish of the nation? Not really. Pie's always good.

Pie's always good. Pie's always good. So what do you reckon our pie should be? If we could make a pie of the nation, what do you think should go inside it? I kind of meant it as a joke, but in all seriousness, if you have a sausage and kiwi onion, it gives honour to the, you know,

second and third places. Yeah, it does. You did right. So if you think about it, that doesn't match with onion gravy on it, there's some kind of variation you could do. Yeah. God, it'd need the right kind of chef to balance everything out.

But it could be done. I live with a chef. That's probably why I think of these weird things. You're a chef, are you? No, no, I live with one. Oh, you live with one. Oh, yeah, that's why, yeah, you've got the brain for it. Okay, I like it.

I really like it. It's a great idea. Thanks, Ella. you've got the brain for it. Okay, I like it. I really like it. It's a great idea. Thanks, Ella. Keep it coming in, 9696. We haven't figured it out, but we would love to do something with this, the official dish of the nation, which, if you missed it, is a meat pie, the good old meat pie. Oh, I can't wait.

And vegan pies as well, they're included. Yeah, all pies are included. Yeah. Hashtag all pies matter. All pies matter. Someone. All pies are included. Yeah. Hashtag all pies matter. All pies matter. Someone said a whitebait pie. That would be expensive and hard to... Hard to create.

Yeah. But keen. Yeah. I'm not saying no to it. I don't know if I want to bite into my pie and see eyes, though. You know? Or kidneys, apparently. Or kidneys, yeah.

Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. It's time for Birthday Banner. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Can't wait to hear some Miles Smith and some Miles Warren, Smith, Johnson. We get them all in Birthday Banger, don't we? That's Guitar Guy on ZM.

Let's do your Birthday Banger. Yeah, let's do it. Who's up first? Let's talk to Emily. G'day, Emily. Hi. How's your day been, mate? Are you excited that pie is the official dish of the nation?

I was going for sausage sizzle, but I'm fine. I'm so sorry for your loss, Emily. Did you vote? Yeah, I did. Yeah. Well, then you can be sad because you had your say. Fingers crossed for sausage sizzle pie. Yeah, it could be on the cards.

While you're here, let's do your birthday banger. What is your date of birth? September 26, 2005. All right, that means you were 16 in 2021, Emily. And we've done the calculations. Here's your birthday banger. You was never really rolling for me anyway. Where's our backup at the top of our list?

Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow. This is Industry Baby. What do you reckon, Emily? It's all right. It's all right. He got played to death on ZM. I'm not going to lie, Emily. We butchered it.

Yeah, we butchered that one. Okay, wait there. We're going to do Liana's birthday banger. Hi, Liana. Hi, Liana. Hello. Hi. Who are you going for in Dish of the Nation, Liana?

I didn't listen to that part. I'm so sorry. What would you have voted for, pie or sausage and bread? Pie. Pie. Well, you're happy then. She's happy. She's all good.

She's all happy. What's your DOB, Liana? 24th of September, 1996. All right. That means you were 16 in 2012. And back in 2012, this had number one hits. Hell yeah. The script in Will.i.am Hall of Fame.

That's a banger. Do you like it? Love it. Oh, who doesn't love a bit of the script? Okay, wait there, Liana. So shocking to me that someone wouldn't have been keeping up to date with Dish of the Nation. It's literally consumed my life for the last 10 days. This is the biggest thing going on in your country right now.

What else has been happening in the world? Frenchie's going to do Birthday Banger. Frenchie, you've been keeping up with Dish of the Nation, haven't you? I have. How do you know? Yes! Yeah, come on, Frenchie. Come on, with a name like Frenchie, you've been keeping up with Dish of the Nation, haven't you? I have. How do you know? Yes! Yeah, come on, Frenchie. Come on. With a name like Frenchie, surely you were rooting for French onion dip.

No, I actually thought of spaghetti and cheese. Oh, okay. Canned spaghetti on toast. No, I feel that. I feel it. It's a classic. What's your date of birth, Frenchie? 1st of January, 1996.

All right, mate. That means you were 16 in 2012, the same as Liana. But on that day, this was at the top. New Year's Day, 2012, Flo Rida and Sia is number one on the chart. Absolute stonker for you, Frenchie. Do you like it? Oh, I like it. It was a goodie back in the day. I'm more of an old soul. Absolute stonker for you, Frenchie. Do you like it? Oh, I like it. It was a goodie back in the day.

I'm more of an old soul. Absolute ripper. Oh, my God, your birthday. So at midnight on New Year's Eve, it's your birthday, and you can turn to someone and you go, how about a Frenchie? I know, right? Oh, good. Yeah.

Please don't ever do that, Frenchie. No, I do that every time. Yeah, see? Oh, no. Oh, no. That's Frenchie's birthright. And that works on people, Frenchie? Yes.

Don't act like you guys don't do that. Yeah. If my name was Frenchie, I'd be whipping that out everywhere. Don't you worry about that. Hold there, Frenchie. We've got to figure this out. Script, Will.i.am. Industry Baby. Industry Baby.

Industry Baby. I'd be happy if I never heard that song again. And Flo Rida or Sia. It's Will.i.am and the script for me. Yeah, it's Hall of Fame. Yes. Liana, you've taken it out. Birthday banger goes to you.

Thanks, guys. She's off researching Dish of the Nation. I think she's celebrating her big win. A few technicals were in Christchurch. That's all good. Turn this up. This is the birthday banger of the day for Liana from 2012 on ZM. Bree and Clint.

Yeah, you can be the greatest. You can be the best. You can be the King Kong banging on your chest. Bree and Clint. Birthday banger from 2012 on ZM, Bree and Clint. Do you reckon the script and Will.i.am still hang out? Yeah, absolutely. Definitely, eh?

It's like Will.i.am and Britney Spears because they collabed. They would still hang out. Yeah, yeah. Good point. To be honest, I don't think they hung out at the time when they made it. Do you not reckon? Nah. I reckon they, you know.

Do you reckon the script just emailed Will.i.am and he just went over the top and did some Will.i.ams? Yeah. The script don't leave Ireland. Oh. They just kind of hang out there. No, they do. They came to New Zealand a lot. I know.

I was making a joke. They have to protect, you know, the borders. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah. They're the representatives of that country. That's a very good point. You know? It's a good point.

Please welcome to the show our friend and national treasure, Jono Pryor. There he is, there he is. Brianna. It's a pleasure. The pleasure's all ours. Jono, Jono, Jono. Back on the box, brother.

Yes, mate. No, no, looking forward to it. It's been a four or five year very slow moving train. It's called Vince. I'm so pumped to watch this. I have a bit of a bone to pick with you though, mate, because at the very last minute, I got the call up to be an extra on this show

and I was just wondering why I wasn't first choice to be the extra. Well, there's a part of the show where Vince ends up having to go on a reality show, which is called Celebrity Divorcee Island. I think you were going to be one of the contestants from memory. Yes, it was something like that, and I was just kind of like, who else did you get? I feel like I should be the first pick. Just ask him what you really want to ask him.

Did you ask Brie because you couldn't get Laura Daniel? Listen, we've got Laura Daniel in another role. No, she is way funnier and she's an actual actress, so it makes sense. Last minute casting always works well. We're like, what are you doing tomorrow? We'd always had you in mind for this role. How good is it that we live in a country where that's what it's like? Just tick someone to be on your TV show.

So the TV show debuts on TV3 tonight. It's on billboards. It's on TV. It's on radio. It's on radio. Look at this. So we thought it would only be right if you call TV3, who's broadcasting your show,

and just check how much fan mail has arrived for you. Yeah, just to be sure that they haven't been in flux with a bunch of fan mail. Okay, okay. Is this payback for the last minute casting calls? Yeah, it is. It could be. We're connecting you now with TV3 Discovery. Best of luck, Jono.

Best of luck. Thank you. Welcome to Warner Brothers Discovery. If you know the extension number you're calling, please dial it now. We don't. Otherwise, please hold. And our reception team will be with you shortly. We'll hold.

Mā te wā. Mā te wā. Mā te wā. Kia ora, Warner Brothers Discovery New Zealand. Alana speaking. How can I help? Hi there. It's just Jono here, Jono Pryor.

You'll know me from... From... From three, from... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just calling in about the fan mail. Oh, did you grab some fan mail? Has someone emailed you about something? I assume there will just be some. But not a lot of it.

I can have a check at the back. Give me one sec. Have a look. Yeah. I'm getting into you too. Oh my God, this is so uncomfortable. You've made her go look and you know it's not there. This is so much better than I thought it was going to go.

You are monsters. Sounds empty. You can hear the drawers. Hi, John. How are you going? Hi. I haven't got anything for you, I'm afraid. Oh, did you check behind the thing?

Yep, checked our mail room, checked our cupboards. Ain't nothing there for you, I'm afraid. Nothing there, OK. Could you do me a favour? Could you write me some fan mail and then I'll come and pick that up? No, I'm not going to do that. You can't do that. Why do you need fan mail?

I'm incredibly insecure. Oh, I see. So if I could, what would you write in the fan mail, out of interest? Jono Pryor is a comedian that I know. And that is touching. Can I help with anything else today, Jono Pryor is a comedian that I know And that is touching Can I help with anything else today Jono? Can you, I've got Bree and Clint from ZM I'm so sorry Alana He was put up to it by us

And now I feel horrible because you were so lovely That's alright Jono Pryor is a comedian that I know. You were the funniest thing about this whole phone call, to be honest. I'm so glad. Okay, thanks, Lana. We appreciate you. You're a legend, Lana.

I'm sorry again. Well, that couldn't have gone better, to be honest. I think that went really well. And, Jono, you know that if you do get fan mail now, Alana will burn it. She will. Jono Pryor's new show, Vince, debuts tonight on TV3 and 3 now, and we promise it's at least as funny as that phone call. At least, yeah. Thanks, mate.

Thank you, Jono. Thank you, guys. Love you. Here's a question for you. Have anyone you've ever dated in your past turned out to be one of your relations? Not that I know of. Not that I know of. Yeah.

We are in New Zealand. Yeah. And as we know, this country is quite. The gene pool is small. It's small. Turns out that person knows someone who's related to that person that ends up being related to you. Yeah, yeah. This story, however, is not from...

Two degrees of separation, they say in New Zealand. It really is. Like, it happens way too often. So you've just got to be on your toes. You've got to be wary. You know? Yeah. You've got to look...

If you've got webbed toes and they've got webbed toes, then that's a no-no. It's a good sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good sign. No, it's a bad sign. It's a good sign that it's a no-go zone. Right. It's a good sign that you shouldnno. It's a good sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good sign. No, it's a bad sign. It's a good sign that it's a no-go zone. Right.

It's a good sign that you shouldn't. It's a bad sign. Exactly. Just have your Ancestry.com history handy. At the bar. At all times. Yeah, yeah. Just log in and just do a quick check, which is exactly something this guy didn't do.

So he's an Aussie comedian. So this is across the ditch. This isn't even in New Zealand. So much bigger pool over in Aussie. Turns out not big enough. His name's an Aussie comedian. So this is across the ditch. This isn't even in New Zealand. So much bigger pool over in Aussie, turns out not big enough. His name's Hunter Smith and he shared a story online recently where one of his exes got in touch with him a while after they had already dated. So they'd already finished their romance, they'd dated, and one of his exes got in touch and said, hey, we need to talk. Oh. And you know what Hunter thought?

I've got a kid, they're pregnant. Or I've got chlamydia. Oh. He thought, oh, this is one of those, hey, just need to let you know. My mind straight away goes to, you have a son. That's where my mind went. Well, it's two men in this situation so I think they were in the clear. Oh, right. Yeah. That would be a really shocking text then. Unless it was an accident. That would be a really shocking text.

If this guy accidentally got his ex-boyfriend pregnant. Oh my God! How did that even happen? Are you sure it's mine? I'm pretty sure. Anyway, no, it wasn't that because that would be worldwide news. Turns out that his ex had recently been onto Ancestry.com and been looking into his past and his family history.

And it turns out that their grandfathers, not great-grandfathers, their grandfathers were related. How related? They were related but estranged. Yeah. So there's no way that they could have known that they were related at the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't say exactly, but essentially they're cousins.

Those two men are cousins. They're distant cousins, but they're cousins nevertheless. So the grandfathers could have been brothers. Could have been. And then the children of those grandfathers would be cousins. Yes, they'd be first cousins. Yeah, which would then, the children of those people, which are these people, would be second cousins.

Oh, that's pretty bloody close. Yeah. Second cousins? Yeah. That's like the one after first cousins. Well, in this case, I'm stoked that it was a gay relationship because then there's not a kid. Harder to explain to the family.

Not in this case. He also was pregnant, remember? Oh, yeah. Just the real shocking part of the story. It's your worst nightmare. It's your worst nightmare to find out that you've been unknowingly. And then you question everything because you're like, was the connection just because- Real or family.

Real or family. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What kind of connection was it? The ones that get me are the ones that find out they're related, but they're still dating. Yeah, see, that's the- Or they're married, and they find out that they are related, distantly or otherwise. Yeah, the ones that are related, married, and have a kid.

Yeah. It's too late then. And they go, well, I ones that are related, married and have a kid. Yeah. It's too late then. And they go, well, I'm not going to leave her just because she's my cousin. It's too late now. I love her. It happened to the guy

from The Chase. Yes. That's remember? Shout out to the beast. And this is why I'm not on Ancestry.com because ignorance is bliss and my wife does look

a little bit like me. A lot like you actually now that you say it.
