The ZM Podcast Network. Okay, should we do a podcast intro? Yes, we should. Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. Quick roll check. Brie? Here. Clint?

Here. Sous-chef Sam? Yeah, we're here. And soundkeeper Ella? Hello. That's our team today. And what a team. I am Soundkeeper Ella. Hello. That's our team today. And what a team. I am working from home.

She says she's working from home. She's not. Producer Anastasia. She's not. She is milking the sickly for all it's worth. She's watching Love Island. Is she? I would too.

I would too. I thought I could offer some, and look, you don't have to take it, but I've got a bit of philosophy that I could offer. Oh, go aristotle come through a little bit i've found well i did learn this on i did learn this on tiktok which takes away from it a bit but it's not from your brain no no i can't claim this at all this is an existing theory but it kind of blew my mind when i learned it last night okay and i feel like it could have you have you heard i'm wondering have you heard of a segment that happens on this radio show that some people like to listen to called the brain clint show they do a thing called a mind blown monday mind blown monday yeah could be for

that no no no this is not a revelation you should text it in this is just a it's just an observation i guess so well no it's a theory it's a theory that exists. Okay, blow my mind. It's called the backwards theory. Huh? Okay. It's called the backwards theory, and it goes like this. Wishing for a positive experience is a negative experience, but accepting a negative experience is a positive experience. Wait, you lost me. Desiring a positive outcome is a positive experience. Wait, you lost me. Desiring a positive outcome

is a negative experience. But accepting a negative situation is a positive experience. Well, then you're just walking around accepting bad things. I call bullshit. Because I think it's fine to want a positive something

to come out of something else. We're not allowed to be hopeful, Clint. No, I'm not saying don't be hopeful. I'm saying there's resistance involved like that. To want a positive something to come out of something else. We're not allowed to be hopeful, Clint. No, I'm not saying don't be hopeful. I'm saying there's resistance involved in that. So it is intrinsically a negative experience. Because you're like, to say that you want better means you're not happy with this. So that in itself is a negative experience.

But if you accept what's going on now, you have created a positive experience. From the sample size of philosophical wisdom that I've heard right now i want to propose the idea that philosophy is just another way of uh saying over analyzing i mean he's got a point i thought bullshit on that theory i don't mind philosophy there's some stuff where i'm like okay yeah i i totally get it i don't mind i just study it at university and holy shit god they ramble on.

How does philosophy have anything to do with being a physio? No, well, that was the first degree that I studied. It was like first. You're indecisive. And there's always free picks at uni, you know, stuff you can just do. True. But why is it a bad thing to want something positive to come about yeah exactly why is it why is that a negative thing setting goals okay you know i've just googled the the correct wording

for it no no no no no no so my my what i was saying the the motivation of what i was saying is correct but this might reframe it for you. The idea that the more you pursue feeling better all the time, the less satisfied you become. So, sorry. Oh, my God. The backwards theory is the idea that the more you pursue feeling better all the time, the less satisfied you become. As pursuing something only reinforces the fact

that you lack it in the first place. Oh, that changes everything. So questing for... No, not for me. I agree, Ella, not for me. That's stupid. Constantly questing for something better is in itself a negative experience.

So don't strive for anything better. No. Just be happy. Like, I get the theory. Yeah, be content. Be happy with what you got got but you need to have goals and you want to have like you know dreams and aspirations or else you just end up floating and being like i have a i have a theory of my own clint's uh clocks onto the fact that uh i after his job. And so what he's telling me through this is that you should just settle.

Just settle. Be happy where you are. Yeah. Don't aspire to be any more. This is a bit of job security for you. Fucking got me. Sneaky Clint. Yeah.

Nah, you guys are just not on my, um, you guys are just not on my theoretical plane. Are you not happy right now, Clint? Do you like your job? Yeah,

I'm happy. Oh, good. Okay. So you're, you're, you're liking the quote. Yeah job? Yeah, I'm happy. Oh, good. Okay. So you're liking the quote. Yeah, you know, I'm happy because I've accepted this negative message. Oh, my God. So you don't have any goals?

Jeez, that was rough. Yeah, right. Okay. No, that's fine. I'll take my philosophy and I will fuck off. Sorry. I didn't realize you were such a philosopher. I know.

Yeah. I've gone too. That's what my TikTok algorithm is serving me now Philosophy, like, let's be real Some of it you're like, oh yeah And then other bits you're like, this is bullshit Totally But I guess it's the same with anything It's like any theory, it's just someone's idea If you get something out of it, then great

And you connect with it. And then if you don't, then probably just chuck it behind you and keep on rolling. Move along. Talk about ethics tomorrow. Does anyone here follow quote pages on Instagram? Oh, no. I used to. I used to as well.

Yeah. And one came up on my feed the other day, because I still obviously follow that page. Do you ever read the quote and be like and like do you feel inspired by it sometimes you know pj polly harding from jason pj she posts a lot and sometimes i will read it i'm like oh okay but then you just forget about it i don't know that's nice unless you make it your phone screen saver. True. Oh, come on. You could do that. That's a middle-aged mum thing.

I feel like quotes were so 2012. They were so 2012. You guys should do that on the show. Pray love. I watched that last night. I just watched it too. It's a great film. I love it.

Speaking of so 2012. I think it's because Netflix are pushing it because it's about to be taken off. Let me put the backwards theory one other way. Oh, my gosh. I need to take this back. I'll leave it here. Happiness. Stop trying to get it and you'll have it.

Say again? Happiness. Stop trying to get it and you'll have it. Okay, I think I get it now. I've got one more theory for the backwards theory. Okay? When you're on top sit backwards it feels better i don't get that that'll do i think let's wrap this what about what about a

speaking of 2012 the no i'm wrapping it up i want to hear it i want to hear Sam's take. Speaking of 2012, the show that we were invited on to just today. Yes. We got to talk about Kate, Tim and Joel. Kate, Tim and Joel from Nova in Australia invited us onto their show today. They very awkwardly pointed out we didn't invite them back onto our show. We need to invite them on our show. They're way more famous than us. They've got Kate Ritchie from Home and Away

on their show. I know! What are we doing? Why have we not done that? Their producer emailed me and said, hey, if you could pass this along to your digital content producer and I just emailed her back saying, I wish we had one of those. We don't really have much going on. We do, that's literally Anastasia's job.

Well, yeah, but like, dedicated, right? All they do is make sure their Anastasia's job. Well, yeah, but like dedicated, right? All they do is make sure their social media is down tight. Yeah, right. You're saying. They're rolling with a producing team of maybe five. Anyway, you're going too deep. We're on their show today.

We're going to kick off our podcast today with our chat with Kate, Tim and Joel. I love those guys. We love them. And it's so cool that they invite us on their show, which is awesome. And we're going to put it in the podcast great idea Sam so especially for the Aussie listeners because they're like

royalty you know so that's for you guys it's a big long interview we'll kick it off the podcast off with that and then we'll roll into our regular podcast

enjoy everybody have a great night bye I'm coming in well howdy pilgrim nine minutes to do whatever you guys want to do by the way whatever you want to do, by the way.

Okay, let's just have you on. Are you wrapping us up? He does it to me all the time. You can go live with us at the top of five if you like, but we are mid-show. Yeah, I saw that. We were just hearing you. We heard you in the car just then. Oh, no.

It is Kate, Tim and Joel. It is Kate, Tim and Joel. We are live in New Zealand. We're in Wellington this time, not in Auckland, but like our other mates, Bree and Clint, who are on this show every day with us this week because they're helping us give away a trip to New Zealand. Does this make sense?

It's the most important part of this show this week, really. We've taken one of their games again, but this time with full permission. Yes, and yesterday you called them our radio colleagues, but I do want to clear up. Are we colleagues or aren't you enemies, guys? We can't work it out. We're peers, aren't we? I thought we were peers.

We're peers. Yeah, we're all cool, you know, just hanging out. Like Piers Morgan? We're all cool. Yeah, we're cool like Piers Morgan. Thanks for having us. Is it weird, though, that you're on our show heaps and we haven't been asked to be on yours once this week?

I mean, awkward for you guys, not so much us. Who have you got on this week? Like Peter Jackson or something? Yeah, Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth. Lord. Crowded house. We were even in the car before and the driver, we were explaining that we were here from Australia

and the driver said, oh, so we're going to hear you on with Bree and Clint. And Joel and I had to say, no, I don't think we've been up. No? No. Oh, now I feel bad. You're here helping us give away trips. Well, so you should. That was the intention of bringing it up.

And to be honest, we've got heaps of real average content on the show this week, so that doesn't make you feel any better. The show's full of holes. There's plenty of room for you. How's Wellington? Well, you've actually given us – well, no, it's good because we wanted to bring up something that you suggested, the icon of holes. There's plenty of room for you. How's Wellington? Well, you've actually given us – well, no, it's good because we wanted to bring up something that you suggested, the icon of Wellington. Oh, is this what we saw last night and then again today?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, well, you took me there this morning because I didn't stay out too late last night, guys, believe it or not. No, you were very well behaved. Hashtag pure New Zealand. Well, yes. And then I walked across like a rainbow pedestrian crossing and came across this monument of sorts.

Which was more impressive last night, wasn't it, Giles? Yeah, after a few margaritas. It's the water buckets, the buckets of water. Are you talking about our iconic bucket fountain? There's the pride of Wellington there, fountain. I hate it, guys. I think it's an eyesore. I think I'm with you, Brie. Which is vintage eyesore. I can come with you, Bree.

Which is vintage. We didn't read up too much about it. We thought you might be able to fill us in or not. Well, no one really knows the back story. It's just a rickety old fountain that splashes people when we walk past. But you know when something has special meaning to you? I don't know why it's got special meaning, but it's got special meaning. See, I've come in with fresh eyes because I haven't got the nostalgia

and I just said, what the hell is this crap? I mean, you know. Someone stole one of the buckets. You didn't say it when you were a kid. Oh, really? Yeah, it made the 6 o'clock news. Are you serious? Yeah, that's our bucket fountain, like I said.

I hope you didn't do anything to it. I hope Joel didn't person it. No, we had a nice photo for the socials. He was too busy being not allowed into places last night. I got carded. I got ID'd last night and they wouldn't accept my Australian driver's licence. On a Monday night? On a Monday night.

And I'm Pride Month of all months. Oh, how dare they. First Rebel Wilson and now me. I love it so much. Hey, Bree, we spent ages on air yesterday talking about your career. Yeah, we did. We were your IMDB yesterday. You were on your IMDB.

Oh, no. We're trying to work out what was the reality show you did. Oh, that's right. Something Treasure. Well, guys, I didn't do the reality show. I host it. Celebrity Treasure Island. I mean, I hope it's coming back.

Oh, you host it? Yes. Oh, okay, we thought you were a contestant. What the hell's she wearing? What's the format? Well, it's kind of like Survivor, but, you know, they throw a bunch of celebrities in. They were going to ask me to do it, and then they thought, no, she isn't a celebrity, so they

had to get me to host it instead. Yeah. Did you guys, if you're dissecting Bree's career, did you pick up the main thing she's famous for at the moment? Oh, no. What? I didn't think we were allowed

to talk about that. I thought that was with the lawyers. Bree's got a WikiFeet page. Don't bring that up. Do you? Do you? Yeah. What's your rating?

What does that mean? Her rating is good. I got a four out of five, guys. She got a four out of five. All the photos have been scraped from her social media, but her foot pics. I got a four out of five, guys. She got a four out of five. All the photos have been scraped from her social media, but her foot pics, she got a four out of five. What shoes are you wearing now? Put your foot up on the desk.

I'm just wearing a Converse. Oh, like everyone else in the team today. This is a great opportunity to launch my only feet, actually, into Australia. So if you're listening. Yeah, no, Clint, we're on your IMDb page as well. And we're really interested in 60 Seconds. Oh, yeah, that's our talent show that we launched this year as well.

Yeah, it's about his home life with his wife. God, you've got 60 seconds too. Yeah, twice. Kate, we talked about this on our show yesterday. Has anyone tried to buy your feet pics before? Oh, are you talking to me? Yeah. No, no, no, not feet pics.

And I think it's because I'm very clear about my feet. They are identical to my mother's. And I'm only 43. Yes, can you believe it? But they already have their own set of bunions. So they are one of the most unattractive. It's a niche. It's a niche market. Well, it is.

That's a category. Maybe I could rate higher, yeah. I reckon people would pay big money for your feet pics. Me being one of them, I mean, if you're keen. Not if you've seen them up close, Brie. You can't just put some on the desk and it has a salt and vinegar chip. Oh, my God, that's it. It's like a barbecue shape filling in between.

Oh! Do you know, Kate, we were going so well. Were we? Well, I thought we were being really friendly and everything. No, we are to bring. Look at that nice studio. Your studio is so fancy. I remember that.

The studio you're in is interesting. Yeah, this was the studio that they built for Kate. Here we go. No, come on. For Kate's 21st. A lovely day to announce the birth of Kate Ritchie and then to celebrate her 22nd. And then we gave you the bucket fountain.

Now, next is What's the Plot, the game that we played with you guys. I believe Joel and I were pretty good at it when we were there. Yeah, we think we beat you last time we were in town. Is that correct? Oh, no. No one beats me, guys. It's very rare. Oh.

I don't know about that. Wasn't it Bree versus Kate Ritchie last time? Isn't that how we played That's what I thought Yeah Very vague recollection And Kate You lost on Because it's for a trip

To New Zealand Okay yeah Yeah And we're doing it next I like it See this classic See Clinton and I Do the same job

It was removed, like, not long after I was born. Got it. Oh, what? Got it. I don't still have it. Do you kind of wish they'd left it on so that you had an extra thumb? But, like, would it look, you know? Yeah, I know.

Well, you never know. Yeah, like, it could have just blended in. Imagine how good you would have been at monkey bars. Giving a double thumbs up to someone with one hand. That would have been sweet. Good party prep. Or really confuse them with a thumbs up and a thumbs down at the same time. Okay, Abby, you're taking on our tradie today.

I'll say. You know, can't beat it. Question number two, one to the tradies. Mario from Super Mario, his overalls are blue, but what colour is his top? He wears... Yes, Abby? Green.

Ooh. I can see why you would have said that, but no. It's Luigi's, brother. Liam? Red. It is red. Oh, that was a rough one. But hey, you can come back from there, Abby.

Abby is desperate for a point. She's buzzing in hard. I appreciate that, Abby. Good luck, okay? Because you need this one to stay in the game. She was on the right track. Here we go. Question number three.

out a lot about Stephen Sanchez yet. It's new. All I can find is he enjoys wearing a crop top. There you go. Yeah. So you and him would not be friends? Oh, yeah. Look, it depends where you're wearing the crop top. No, you told me crop tops,

there's no place in the wardrobe for a crop top. Crop tops are hard unless you're wearing a high-waisted pant because I ain't showing off my midriff. Do you mean one that comes up underneath the crop top? Yes. That looks in at the moment and I don't mind it. Look, I'm very excited, mainly for people listening because you're about to hear some incredible radio. Breeze Psychic Radio is back.

Breeze Psychic Radio. Now, I don't know if we've done it at this time on our show before, but I like to spread around. We've managed to keep it out of prime time. Hey, don't be like that. People love this, and it's amazing and a great listen. Trust me. So if you haven't heard it before, here's how it works.

I believe I have psychic radio powers, Clint. I'm not a psychic by trade, but I'm a radio psychic. Right. And what that means is I believe that I have this ability to channel people listening to this show where I put out their specific details about a person that I channel into. I find them in the metaverse.

Is that a thing? In the metaverse? I'm on Facebook. So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to put out specific details about the particular person that I'm looking for and I need you to call if that's you. We need to make Clint believe because he thinks it can't be done. I say watch me.

I say you've never got five from five. I've got pretty close though. But you haven't got them all. I mean, pretty close. Okay, describe for me the type of person you are channeling today and we will see if we can get them to call the radio station. I just need to hone in. I need to get my abilities up and running.

Okay, I've got it. I'm looking for someone that's 33 years old. Okay. They're 33. They could be having a birthday this year. Maybe they've already had a birthday. That doesn't matter. They're 33 right now.

Right now or this year? Right now. Right now. They own a cat. Just one cat. Just one cat. They own one cat. The universe cat. Just one cat. They own one cat. The universe is telling me they work in finance.

Okay. They work in some sort of realm of finance. Something to do with money. Something to do with money. Mm-hmm. Okay. They've got two siblings. What are those siblings?

And the two siblings. With the two siblings. Who's 33 years old. That is the person I'm looking for. Bree and Clint. Welcome. We're about to go on a journey, a psychic radio journey. Ah, Bree's Psychic Radio.

It's Clint's favourite segment, which is why I keep doing it. It's just so good. Fantastic radio. Yeah, so good. It's where I put out there a bunch of different things. I channel into a person listening to the show and I believe we have that person today. Do you think?

It's so specific that people will say it's fake, but it's not. It's real. Before we meet our callers, which I can promise Bree hasn't pre-spoken to, I'll give her that. Can I have the five criteria one more time, please? You sure can.

I'm looking for a woman, 33. She has a cat. She works in finance. Has two siblings. And her name is Kate. I believe that person is listening to the show right now. Let's see if they are. Caller number one. We're going to go through these criteria with you one by one.

Can you please let us know what you do for a job? I work in finance and account administrator. Oh, it's a good start, caller one. It's a fantastic start. Solid start. I'm feeling that I want to know if you have a cat. Do you have a cat, caller one? I have a cat. Wait, how a cat, Caller 1? I have a cat.

Wait, how many cats have you got? Just one. Yes, Caller 1. You tell him, just one. You know what, let's start getting real. What's your name, Caller 1? Hayley. Let's just breeze past that part.

I mean, Caller 1, how old are you? I'm 34. And how many siblings do you have? Three. So, Hayley, you're just a woman with a cat at this stage. Oh, and you work in finance. You know what they say, though, Hayley? Kate is short for Hayley.

You know? Thank you, caller number one. We'll move on to caller number two. Okay, so how many did I have? Two. But she was close on the other. Well, she was a woman as well, so I'll give you three out of six. All right, caller number two. Let's start with that first.

Caller two, what's your gender? Hello? Hello. There she is. If we can be so forward. I am a female. You're a female. I'm a female.

She's got a cat. Just one? Just the one. She's got a cat. But then how many siblings do you have? I've got two. Okay, it's getting real. Just the one. She's got a cat. But then how many siblings do you have? Two. Come on. I've got two.

Okay. It's getting real. You need to tick two more boxes. That's it. It's two more. It's job. And age. And age.

What do you want to ask first? I want to go with job first. Something to do with money. Work in finance. Kate, what do you do for a job? Okay. So I'm a teacher, but I do teach math, and that does involve money.

Thank you, Kate. We appreciate you. I mean, she was close. You've got one more chance. You're on your last chance here. I think this one is going to be the one. We're moving up in the world. Caller number three, good afternoon.

Let's start with your age, seeing as that's what we failed on last time. Yes. How old are you? I'm 33. Oh, caller number three, I like to hear that. Do you have a cat? Yes, one cat.

Just say Kate. It's Kate, isn't it? It's not Kate. Just say Kate. It's not Kate. Any of your sisters called Kate? Have you got a mum called Kate or Catherine? No.

I've added a new element. Just wait, Liz, hold on one second. I've added in one. I've got two of the letters. Yeah, she does. I've added a new element to this segment, which if and when I do get everything, I've got a bonus question.

Yeah. So I may as well just ask her just to see. Okay, go on. The bonus round, Liz, was that you drive a red question. Yeah. So I may as well just ask her just to see. Okay, go on. What's the bonus round? The bonus round, Liz, was that you drive a red car. Oh, no. Should have clicked while you were ahead

to be honest. Should have stopped. Yeah, should have stopped. Bree and Clint. Bree's Psychic Radio. Will it be back? I mean, if you want it. Bree and Clint.

Time for the latest. From iHeart Radio. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, all anyone is talking about in the movie world is the Elvis film that is coming out next week. Yeah, next week in New Zealand, yep. Yeah, it's very soon. And Lisa Marie Presley, his daughter,

has actually come out and endorsed it, saying it is spot on. Yeah, this is the wild part about this, right? Both Lisa Marie Presley and Priscilla Presley, Elvis's wife, have both come out and shared how incredible the film was. In fact, Priscilla said, quote, it was like reliving some of the scenes, like reliving parts of their past when she watched it. Now, the reason I said this was rare is because most biopics very rarely get the endorsement of the family. You know what I mean? Like, it's so incredibly rare. And even if they do, the family it's never this type level of accuracy. So for Priscilla

and Lisa Marie to say that this brought tears to their eyes it must have been done so incredibly well and so real you know and so realistic I didn't realise if they I don't even know if they were a part of the production

I don't think they were I don't know actually but obviously whoever was did their research beautiful tribute to Elvis yeah we've actually got a clip of Lisa Marie Priestly speaking about the film here Obviously, whoever was, did their research. Beautiful tribute to Elvis. Yeah. We've actually got a clip of Lisa Marie Presley speaking about the film here. It's been one disappointment after the other in terms of people betraying my father. In various films or attempts to.

I tell you this with all my heart and the only, that's the reason I'm here. It's been done right. There you go. Whoa, if that's not an endorsement. Everybody else sucks, but this guy is good Taking care of business Lisa Marie Presley, go out and see the film There you go, that is the latest live out of Los Angeles

With our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy Every now and then there's a product that goes viral And everyone goes, oh my god, I gotta have that product Quite often the product's from Kmart Yeah, there's a lot of stuff coming out of Kmart, isn't there? Yeah, this one's not. Did you see the cheap puffer jackets from Kmart? No, I didn't see those.

But it's from the warehouse, okay? You might have seen this. It's all over social media the last few days. It's the sectional frying pan. Ah, yes. People are loving this product. It's from the warehouse. It's 30 bucks. It's effectively a pan that's got three dividers in it

so you can cook things in the same pan without those things touching. And people are just losing their plot. ZM Online, the website, wrote, say goodbye to dishes with the warehouse's new sectional fry pan. News Hub wrote,

Labour at the sink no longer with this new sectional fry pan. Mind-blowing new kitchen. People are sharing it. People are commenting on it. And I just thought, really? Really? Is life so hard now? Oh, so you're not on board.

That washing a pan is the hardest thing in the world. If you had to wash your pan, that's it. So you're not on board. I just don't understand how it's life changing that you can cook three things in the pan at the same time. And I'm not hating on it if you're excited about it. It's just like, it's one of those

things that has blown up. I don't get it. I'm not here for it. I don't want it. Are you saying people are lazy and they should just wash multiple pans? I think you're buying a novelty pan is what I think you're doing. I think you're in line for a novelty pan and you'll use it for a week and then you won't use it again. Or maybe it is the pan of the future and it's the way we should have always been cooking.

But no, it's just come about now and we need to get on this train. Are you down for this frying pan? I'm keen. Really? Yeah, mate, because I do a lot of cooking and I wash a lot of pans and if this can save me even washing one less pan, I'm in like Flynn. But washing a pan, seriously, how hard is it to wash a pan? Wait a minute.

How much cooking do you do at your house? Like if I cook anything, it's in the pan or the air fryer. But, you know, it's in the pan. And it's not that hard. You run it under the tap, you give it a quick rinse and you put it back on the... How often? You're not really the cooker in the household. No, I'm not the cooker in the house. You're not the cooker, so you're not

really doing heaps of pan cleaning, is what I'm saying. No, I'm the dishwasher. I'm absolutely the dishwasher in the house. Always. Always. Oh, well, see, you're an I'm absolutely the dishwasher in the house. Always. Always. Always. Oh, well, see, you're an idiot then because this saves you time. This saves you heaps of time. It just feels like one of those things you're going to get.

Look, I say this as the person who once bought a frying pan that was called Frying Solo. It was small enough to just fry one egg. It's great. I was like, you use it twice and then it goes into the bottom of the drawer and you never use it again. No, I had that pan and I used it he. One egg. It's great. I was like, you use it twice and then it goes into the bottom of the drawer and you never use it again. No, I had that pen and I used it heaps of times. I loved it because I was single for a long time.

I was definitely solo. It was a sad pen. And you know what? I just think you haven't really thought through the benefits of this sectional pen. Really? Because if you're cooking a big breakfast, say you got the bacon, you got the eggs, you got the

eggs, you got the tomatoes. You don't want the tomatoes where they seep into the eggs and then the bacon gets soggy from the egg and then the tomato juice goes into the bacon. This way, you can cook the entire big breakfast all at once. And guess what? It's in one pan. It's all hot at the same time. Boom, go buy the pan. Perfect. Okay, cool. I know I can get your birthday sorted for $30 this year from the warehouse. Kids, they're so innocent. They're learning as they grow. And sometimes that means they do things that aren't appropriate in public. They don't understand consequences. They don't.

They don't even know what is appropriate and what's inappropriate. And it was a young boy. My mistake. I said the States, but this was in Glastonbury. And this happened last Saturday when a young boy did something in public that embarrassed his parents in a big way. I've just seen what it is. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. The parents have taken their two young children to go look at, you know, some stuff for their bathroom. I believe they needed a new curtain. And what do you have in a bathroom store? You have fake showers that you can look at. You've got bathtubs that are there on display. Well, they're all real.

It's just none of them are hooked up to anything. They're just standing there. You also have display toilets. And it's when the young boy decided, I need to use the bathroom and I'm potty trained. I know for a fact that I need to sit on this toilet and relieve myself. I'm a good kid. I'll take myself off and do it by myself.

That's right. Jacob, the young boy, apparently said to his mum when he was sitting on the toilet with his pants down, Mum, I'm just doing a really big poo. Oh, the pictures are not necessary. You can't see anything. No, but you can see the dad with a plastic bag over his head about to reach

into the display toilet. There's not even any water in it. It's just a dry toilet bowl. It is a very dry toilet bowl and the dad has had to retrieve what his son has just done. Do you reckon that this happens regularly in toilet showrooms? I think maybe the son has watched, without his parents' consent,

Jackass 1 and he's got this idea from the film. No, I think. Because it's not just bathroom display stores. There are bathrooms set up in Mitre 10 Mega, you know, and if you're in there with your family and the kids run off down certain aisles and you can't see them I wonder if anywhere that has fake toilets

set up has to deal with this sort of thing. I mean, I think the sad thing would be is if it wasn't a child. You know, I mean, you can forgive a child. I mean, it looks like a toilet. It't a child. You know, I mean, you can forgive a child. I mean, it looks like a toilet. It is a toilet. Can you forgive Grandad if he doesn't have his wits about him anymore?

Look, yeah. Grandad! Yeah, okay, that's passable. Someone who's drunk, probably not. Not acceptable. But, you know, these things happen. It's life. And, I mean, what a funny story that they've got out of it.

Do you think they had to buy the toilet? Because, you know, they say you break it, you bought it. What about if you... Well, he didn't break it. No, he didn't break it. He just used it. He broke it in. Yeah, he definitely did.

Whoever gets that toilet isn't going to be the first person to christen it. Put it that way. I mean... A young boy over in Glastonbury was visiting a bathroom shop with his parents when he decided he needed to go. And he saw a bunch of toilets and, I mean, he used one. He was like, I'm in toilet Disneyland. Yep, and that's when the dad...

I can go anywhere I want. ...had to go all dog clean up, get out a bag and put his hand in the toilet. It was a number toes, which is even worse. But you know what I've just realised? None of these bathroom show toilets have toilet paper. Yeah, true. None of them have a little roll of toilet paper on the toilet roll holder. Parents always have baby wipes.

It would have been fine. So we want to ask you, what did your kid do that embarrassed you in public? Maddie's here. Hi, Maddie. G'day, Maddie. Hi. This was your nephew. What did they do? that embarrassed you in public? Maddie's here. Hi, Maddie. G'day, Maddie. Hi. This was your nephew.

What did they do? Yeah, my nephew. So he's a wee. And he told me he needs to go wee. So I was like, okay. So he talks up to everybody, turned around, and he's got his pants down, standing in the middle of the class, and asked if I could help him with his willy.

Oh, jeez. That's not in the auntie job description. I mean, that kid... That's a mum and dad job. That kid sounds like, you know, he's king... I mean, king dick. Yeah, literally. Literally. Let's go to Sherea. Hi, Sherea. Hi, Sherea.

Hi. What did a kid do to embarrass you in public? Oh, well, I decided to take a local trip to the supermarket I worked at, didn't I, during the day. Took my kids with me. One pushed the trolley. One decided to run off down the supermarket and the trolley

got pushed into a 40-box pack of stone nuggets. No! No! Not the stoneies! The trolley into the X. Oh my god. And then I had the store manager of the local Countdown Huntly, where I used to work, have my daughter in one hand and a packet of yogurt in the other,

where she decided to dip them in and eat them. And then she had stolen some slime kits down her pants, and I had the security guard and the store manager, where I worked, with them in hand. They had to be outside every time I went to the supermarket with the store manager. Sherea, you need to get your bloody kids under control, mate. Oh, they are now.

They're 14. Nah, you reckon? I was just about to ask how old they were, and I was picturing you to be like, they were 24, but, you know, out of control. Sherea, are you the wildest family in Huntly? Well, as well. Now I'm there for my kids to be like little thieves

and locker owners, you know. Sherea, you sound like you can get away with anything in your family. I'll come live with you for a bit. Oh, yeah, hard. Sherea's like, please do. I need help with these kids. Yeah, I love it.

Hey, someone texts through and they said, when did your kid embarrass you? Someone said, my son was about three and we were at the supermarket and we were down the feminine products aisle. He grabbed a packet of pads and he yelled out really loud, mum, you need these for your vagina. Solid gag from that kid. Solid. To be fair, he is anatomically correct.

He is correct. He got the right body part. Education is key. Erin, finally, when did a kid embarrass you in public? What happened? So I took my nephew when he was about two to Chipmunk's playground. Yeah. And we were climbing along the top of the playground thingy

and his nappy exploded. Oh, no. What do you mean it exploded? How does it explode? Well, imagine a punani. Oh, no. It was a Shortland Street punani. So he's up, no, not punani.

Jesus Christ. Punami. Punami. Oh, like poo explosion. I was sorry. I've got Poonani on the brain, Erin. I think we might rip that one up there. Thanks, Erin.

You know when you can't get something out of your head? Normally it is Poonami. No Poonani at Chipmunks, okay? Bree and Clint. The name game is where you go head to head with Brie guessing celebrity names as quickly as you can

and if you do beat her you'll score 50 KFC chicken dollars. Correct. Who am I taking on this afternoon? The amazing

Shayna. Hi Shayna. Hi Shayna. Hello, how are you? Good, how are you? Good, how are you? More specifically, how are you at guessing celebrity names? I thought I was good, but like a little bit nervous about Brie because she's a bit of a psycho.

She's a bit of a psycho, did you say? Yeah, she's a bit good at it. I've been called worse, Shaina. I've been called worse. I can imagine. Don't call her a psycho. You don't want to get her angry, okay? Careful.

She's a real psycho. And it's want to get her angry, okay? Careful. She's a real psycho. And it's that time of the month, so look out. No, wait, me too. Oh, maybe you guys will sync up. Wait, are we syncing up? Okay, look, it's still a double round, okay? So I'll give you a name. Oh, that's right.

It's the first person to give me two celebrities who use that name as part of their name. If you say one, that's fine. You've claimed that celebrity. The other person can't use it and you have some time to think of the second one. Okay. Does that make sense, Shaina? Yeah. Don't buzz in. Just yell

out celebrity names as soon as you've got them. Like, for example, if I said Chris, you might yell out Hemsworth, Parker, Rock, whatever it is. Yeah, you guys got it. Okay, cool. But you've got to have two, Shaina. out. Hemsworth. Parker. Hemsworth, Parker, Rock, whatever it is. Yeah, you guys got it. Okay, cool. Here we go. But you got to have two, Shana. Yep.

Yeah, but I always forget that part. I've kept it very easy today, okay? I've gone with very normal. Basic B names. Basic B names. Okay. Basic B boys, basic B girls. Okay.

You do the rest. God, this is going to be awkward for these people's names. They know they've got a basic name. First one. Someone give me a famous, two famous Amandas. Bynes and... Amanda... Solding.

What was that last one? Amanda... What was the last one, Shaina? Amanda Knox? Amanda Knox, yeah. Amanda... Wait, Amanda Knox? Isn't, yeah. Amanda... Wait, Amanda Knox? Is that the retirement home?

Yes, Amanda Seyfried. Yes, there you go. Who's Amanda Seyfried? Actress. Oh, I need to do my homework on that.

Spade. Spade. David. Yes, you got one each. Letterman. Oh, Bree. Spade. Oh need two famous Davids. Go. Spade. Spade. David. Yes, you got one each. Letterman. Oh, Bree. Spade. Oh, she's come back.

What? She got it with Letterman. Oh. I said David Spade and David Letterman just before you said your second one, I think, Shana. Oh, okay. No worries. It's one point.

Oh, it's a bit tense in here. You both won a one. Shana and I have history, don't we, Shana? Yes, because remember that time I rung up about and made both want to win. Shana and I have history, don't we, Shana? Yes, because remember that time I rang up and made Clint want to wear the Aussie jersey to the All Blacks game?

Was that you? Oh, okay. I want Bree to win now. I want Shana to win. Okay, here we go. I need two, you're on one point each, I need two famous Vanessa's.

Hudgens. Hudgens and... Bree got Hudgens. Vanessa. Oh, Vanessa. Is that talk show host? What's her name? Vanessa Williams and Vanessa Kirby.

Yeah, Vanessa. Who was the last one? Vanessa. Kirby. Vanessa Kirby? Yep. Who's that? An actress.

Vanessa Kirby. Clint is saying... No, I will not accept Vanessa Kirby. Oh, no. The producers are saying they reckon it's a yes. Is it a yes? Oh, was she in Jurassic Park? Okay, she's yes, but I accept Vanessa Kirby.

Which one is she from Jurassic Park? She was in Jurassic World. Oh, yeah, she's famous. Okay. Man, you guys are going obscure with this. Where was Vanessa Carlton? A Thousand Miles. Of course, Vanessa Carlton.

You could win it here, Shana. Two to Shana, one to Bree. Please put me out of my misery. I'm terrible today. I need two. This is so easy, this one. I've got four of them written down in front of me. It's easy when you have Google.

No, I didn't Google these. Well, not all of them anyway. I want two famous Adams. Sandler. Adam Sandler and Adam Brody. Adam Scott. Adam Sandler and Adam Brody. Adam Scott. Adam Sandler and Adam Brody. Bree said Sandler before you said Sandler, so she gets Sandler.

You said Adam Scott for your second one. Adam Scott. Who's Adam Scott? Adam Driver. He's a famous actor and he was in Step Brothers. Okay, if Adam Scott is not acceptable, then we will be giving it to Shana with Adam Driver. Okay.

Adam Scott. You know him. He's famous. He's in Step Brothers. Oh, he's famous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He drives the Range Rover on Step Brothers. Yeah, yeah.

He's the dad. Come on, I feel like we need one more round. Yeah, you do. This is the tiebreaker, Shaina. Oh, okay. So this is winner takes all this round. I love Shaina. I just want her to win.

One of the more heated rounds of the name game we've ever played. But I'm not going to give it to you, Shaina. I'll call her to win. One of the more heated rounds of the name game we've ever played. But I'm not going to give it to you, Shaina. I'll call tomorrow first. Basic B names. Okay. I need two. I want it so bad. Famous.

Jessica's. Jessica Parker. Jessica. Jessica Simpson. Yeah! Oh, she did it! I feel like... Jessica Alba, I was going to say. Yeah, Jessica Alba, Jessica did it. I feel like... Jessica Alba, I was going to say.

Yeah, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel. Like someone's yelling out names that clouds your judgment, but Shaina, mate, what an effort. Hey, congratulations. You absolutely won that on your own effort. You get 50 KFC chicken dollars, Shaina. It's because I'm a psycho too, Brie, don't worry. Yeah, mate, I thought I couldn't love you anymore, and I love you even more now, Shana. It's because I'm a psycho too, Brie, don't worry. Yeah, mate. I thought I couldn't love you anymore and I love you even more now, Shana.

There's way too much estrogen going around at the moment and it's way too hormonal. Let's reconvene when we sync up. Call back then, okay? Brie and Clint. Last week on the show, you and I, Brie, were talking about the rumoured but not confirmed engagement of Taika Waititi and Rita Ora. Yeah, it's very secretive, isn't it? I think it's fresh and I think they're not ready to do anything with it yet.

I think they also get, as soon as you're a celebrity, you put something like that out there, it gets criticised, critiqued from every angle. So I kind of get it. A Breakfast TV host in the UK this morning has had a very awkward interview with Taika and Chris Evans

they're promoting the new Buzz Lightyear movie yeah I saw this there's a good morning Great Britain or what is it called one of those breakfast Great Britain

or something like that he's just gone for it he's gone well you're on our show Rita's a Brit it's the biggest news out about you today I'm going to ask

our viewers care listen to how awkward the interview turned when he asked Taika Waititi if him and Rita Ora were engaged. We've congratulated Chris on his birthday. Taika, are there wedding dolls? You can congratulate me. It's in August.

I'm coming in August. You can turn to this and talk about my birthday. What are you breaking up? There you go. Go on. There you go. Better enough. Shall I not ask about Rita? I think he can't hear us.

He can't. He's frozen. That is that. Taika literally ended the interview when he brought it up. Don't you love live television? What's really interesting about that is last week, our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy, was on a red carpet where Taika Waititi was meant to be for the same movie. The rumors about Rita were going around.

Dean said, what do you want me to ask? We said, you've got to ask about Rita Ora. That exact question. He didn't show up, but Dean, that could have very nearly been you getting the Taika Waititi walkout. What the hell? Guys, I dodged the question bullet because we'd messaged about it this morning, all of us. I'm like, right, we've got Taika. I can't wait.

What should we do? Let's ask about Rina. I mean, I'm a very disarming kind of reporter. You know what I mean? I'm the kind of guy that could ask that with a big smile and totally ask it. He absolutely would have shut me down and that would have been me getting hung up on live, in live person at point blank in front of him. I'm so glad he didn't turn up.

Can I ask you, you interview a lot of famous people and you do a lot of red carpets. Have you ever had a circumstance where you've asked a question and it's kind of turned out like that? Okay, Charlize Theron, she did the movie called Mad Max and I was like, what did Chanel think when you shaved your head? And she's looking at me and she's like, well, they probably didn't care because I'm actually the face of Dior.

And then I was like, that's an easy one. That's an easy one. And then I asked Harrison Ford this stupid question about Ender's Game and he said, I don't ask, he goes, I don't answer dumb questions and walked off. Are you serious? That is so awkward. Yeah, right.

It's pretty much, you know, I mean, I'm 22 now, so I've been doing this for 18 months. Yeah, pretty good. Look, I kind of wish that you had asked that Taika Waititi question because you would have been global news then. You would have been the person who the awkward clip was being played about. That's the goal, right? You've got to get your stuff into a worldwide audience.

But see, the difference is that interview we just listened to, they were on a screen. Dean would have been in person with Taika. I don't know what would have happened. Here's the thing, though, I'll say this Usually, they'll often Just see the insights, the press And publicity team will actually give you

Some tips, I'm surprised They didn't say, hey, nothing about Your relationship They would probably say that to me Because they would have known that I was Australian I worked for a New Zealand, so they would have probably gone Ah, nothing personal about Rita I think they would have said that to me, maybe would have known that I was Australian, I worked for a New Zealand, so they would have probably gone, ah, nothing personal about Rita. I think they would have said that to me, maybe,

if I was doing the junket. Well, dodged a bullet there. There you go. We apologise. That's Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood reporter. He's fearless. He'll ask any question. He will. But luckily, he didn't ask that one. Brian Clint. I want to go into the inbox, dive deep

into the inbox, because we've the inbox because we got a message. Bit of box diving. Box diving. And it's a message about exes. Oh, yeah. This woman says, I left my husband two years ago after 10 years of marriage. Okay, wow.

His laziness and ambivalence to everything about our life and relationship drove me mad and I couldn't see any other way out than to leave him and start anew. Well, good for you for prioritising your own life in that situation. I mean, if it wasn't working, it wasn't working. It can't have been an easy decision, especially after 10 years of marriage. 10 years with someone. You have to surgically separate your entire lives, you know?

Literally. Your friend groups, everything. Your living situation. She goes on and says, he seemed blindsided and heartbroken when I told him I was going, but he also didn't do anything to try and win me back. Since then, he's lost weight and seems to have lots of new friends and hobbies and is having a lot of fun. I know I shouldn't, but I check his Instagram every day and I'm so jealous of his happy new life. It's not that I don't want him to move on,

it's just that I'm mad that he didn't make the effort when he was with me. He's the person you always wanted him to be now that you're out of his life. The last thing she says, I'm obsessed with seeing what he does every day and I'm thinking about getting back in touch to rekindle our romance. Is this a bad idea? That's so hard. Look, on the positives, you pulling out of the

relationship was clearly the kick in the guts he needed to sort his stuff out. Because she knew that this guy was in there somewhere, this happy, motivated Well, it probably was him at the start. Yeah. You know, people get lost in relationships sometimes. And I mean, it happens to everyone. Yeah. You know, and I think sometimes it's a real difficult one.

Yeah. Because like until you're out of the relationship, you're right. It might be the thing that kickstarts you back into, you know. I'm so interested to know if he has reached out at all because sometimes people who get dumped by the love of their life you've got to remember this was his wife and she said he

was really heartbroken and blindsided so I wonder if he has done it to get your attention most of the time 90% of the time I think people usually do stuff for a bit of, yeah, see, I told you. Like, look at me. Yeah.

Like revenge. Okay, so it's either revenge or it's... Well, not revenge, but like, you know, in a way where they want to prove to you that they could do those things. But what I'm saying is the motivation revenge or is the motivation redemption? Right. You know, does he want to stick it to you and go, huh, you missed out on all of this? Or does he want to go, I'm sorry, here I am,

have me back? Well, I think that's very cute if that's what he's doing. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Most of the time I don't think it's seeded in that. Yeah. I think it's seeded in, I want them to be jealous of me. Yeah. And you've got to remember that if it broke, it broke for a reason, the relationship.

So it's very easy to have rose-tinted glasses and look back at it now and go, that's all that needed to happen. I just needed him to get off his butt. Yeah. Is that really all you needed or was there some deeper thing going on? I mean, I don't want to psychoanalyse you too much.

It's just one DM, but. I mean. It can work though. Couples can get back together, right? I 100% believe that sometimes you have to break up and then get back together

for it to really go the distance and sometimes it doesn't work at all. I've never successfully done it. Have you? No, I haven't. But I think it has worked for people. I think it can work, you know? We're talking getting back with your ex. You know, it's something that I think a lot of people do at least once in their life.

Where it doesn't work out the first time. Some stuff happens, people grow and they think, give it another go. Yeah. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it's for good reasons. Sometimes people just fall back into old habits and you go, oh my God, I can't believe I'm waking up next to this person again.

Yeah. You know, not to say that it can't work. You've asked for a very specific type of person to call us up this afternoon. Someone who currently wants to get back together with their ex. Yes. And not surprisingly, no one is willing to talk to us

on the radio about that. We've got a lot of people texting through. Someone texted through and they said, my partner and I had been together for seven years with one kid. We split last October. We both worked our stuff out and are getting back together. I think having a break from each other and having our own space, doing our own things, not as a couple was insanely beneficial

totally do you think they'll have that conversation uh one night where they go so what did you get up to who did you get up to while we were uh well it's interesting because it says they'd been together for seven years and they've included the ages so they were like 17 or 18 when they got together and they like had the break when they were 25. Yeah, and they've got a kid. Yeah. So they never really had those years. They reckon there were some wild oats being sowed. Oh, you know, it's

kind of like a rump springer. If that's the case, you've got to have a don't ask, don't tell policy when you get back together. Or one night where you just put everything on the table and you never talk about it ever again. Yeah, you're like, right, if we talk about it now and just have lots of gin when you do that. Someone else, I love this text.

It's very cute. Someone said, my wife left me after I got into a rut. It was the scare and kick that I needed. I changed and we got back together and that was 11 years ago. Wow. Oh, it's cute. Wow. It's so cute.

Good on you for being able to see that it was salvageable and not go, oh, I hate her for leaving me and becoming all negative. I know. It shows the type of person they are. Yeah, you've gone, okay, the issue is me. I can sort this out. And so you do it. You don't have long though because the time is ticking

if you're in that situation. The next person could walk into your ex's life at any minute. And if she shacks up with them or he shacks up with them, it could be screwed. It could be stuffed. Yeah. Someone else texted her and they said, I just recently rekindled something. Oh, saucy. Unsure of, they said, but his work was so important to him,

the last time it took over his entire life. Right. So I dipped only for him to track me down. I'm a firm no contact kind of gal. He told me that he's changed jobs so we have more time together as I'm his forever girl. Let's just see how it plays out. Yeah, right. It can work, I guess.

We've got messages that say it can work. Yeah, there's others that how it plays out. Yeah, right. It can work, I guess. We've got messages that say it can work. Yeah, there's others that say it can't work. Someone said, I got back with my ex twice and it did not work out. Unfortunately, the same issues resurfaced that broke us up the first time. Every situation is different, but sometimes when things break, it can't be fixed. I don't know if getting back together two times can work. I think maybe.

I did that in my early 20s. Yes. Me and someone that I dated got back together twice over the course of like four years. How old were you? I would have been, it would have been between when I was 21 and 25. Yeah, okay. All right.

Yeah, it didn't work out. I was going to say, is that the person you're with now? No. Bree and Clint. We got it done. Bloody phone system. We got it done, didn't we? You see what happens when you have a landline?

We're using one of those Spark pay phones that they're disabling. Yeah. We ran out of credit. Anyway, we're good. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. We ran out of critter. Anyway, we're good. If this is the first time you've heard Birthday Banger, where the bloody hell have you been?

What have you been doing? This is where you can call our show. You tell us your birthday. We put it through a system here and we figure out what was the song that was number one on your 16th. Then we pick our favourite out of three people. Nicole's here. Hi, Nicole. Hi, Nicole. Hi, Nicole.

Hi. How are you, mate? So good. First time caller. I'm very excited. Oh, welcome to the show. It's good to have you on. Thank you.

What gave you the courage to call this time, Nicole? I honestly have no idea. Curiosity. Yeah, right. Okay. We love that you've called and I'm super excited to do your birthday banger. What's your birthday?

It is the 13th of December, 1990. Right. Nicole, that means you were 16 in 2006 and on your 16th birthday, this was top of the chart. The all I want you to do is be my love. My love.

My Love. He was the biggest star in the world when this song came out. God, he was massive. Were you into it when you were 16, Nicole? Yes, I still went to that song. Love it. Yeah, yeah. Me too, Nicole.

It's a great album. Let's go to Ray. Kia ora, Ray. G'day, Ray. How you going? How are you, Ray? What have you been up to today? Well, I'm a part-timer.

I'm retired and I've been to work and I'm on my way home now. Good man. I love that, Ray. What do you do for part-time work? Motor mechanic. Oh, yeah. Good stuff. Oh, so still getting, you know, busy with your hands, Ray.

I like that. Ray, what's your birthday, mate? Let's figure out your birthday banger. 15th of July, 51. All right, Ray, that means you were 16 in 1967. And, Ray, let me take you back there. Your 16th birthday, you're probably trying to snog a sheila and here, this was on the radio.

All you need is love. Banger. The Beatles and All You Need Is Love. Are you a Beatles fan, Ray? What's that? Are you a Beatles fan? Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, hell yeah. That's a great song, Ray. Great's that? Are you a Beatles fan? Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, hell yeah.

That's a great song, Ray. Great birthday banger. One more for Sam. Hi, Sam. G'day, Sam. Hello. Hello. Are you retired as well?

Semi-retired, Sam? Semi-retired. 40 years off that, but yeah, I wish. Are you on your way home from work, though? Yeah. What do you do for work, Sam? I'm in construction. Oh, yeah, nice. It didn't rain work, though? Yeah. What do you do for work, Sam? I'm in construction. Oh, yeah, nice.

It didn't rain today, which is good. Oh, yeah, it would have been a nightmare the past couple of weeks for you. Okay, what's your birthday, Sam? Mr. Your birthday banger. 25th August, 1993. Well, it's coming up, Sam. You were 16 in 2009. And on the 25th of August in 2009, this was number one.

Banger. Black Eyed Peas. Good jam. Huge song. It's a huge song. I feel like this is a song when it comes on in a club, it's late, everyone's had a few, you know. Yeah, it's timeless.

And it's quite emotional. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Isn't it? Yeah, it builds. It's got lots of memories associated too. Do you like it? Sam, is your birthday banger song? Oh, how could you not?

How could you not? I mean, it's a huge anthem from the Black Eyed Peas. Okay, wait there. We need to decide between the Beatles, Justin Timberlake and the Black Eyed Peas. It's pretty easy for me. Beatles, Justin Timberlake and the Black Eyed Peas. It's pretty easy for me. It's Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake.

I mean, it does have a vibe. It's Black Eyed Peas. Yeah, I'll go Justin Timberlake with Nicole. Congrats, Nicole. You just won birthday banger. Thank you. Brie and Clint. How much sleep do you need after the age of 30?

What do you think, Brie? How much sleep do you generally get a night? Usually go to bed at around midnight. Yeah, that's irresponsible, but yeah. Why? Why is it irresponsible? Grow up and go to bed at a normal time. I'm an adult, hence why I can go to bed at midnight.

That's what kids say. When I'm a kid, when I'm an adult, I'll stay up till midnight Mate, I hope you know a lot of people my age without children would go to bed at midnight Yeah, and I'm saying to you now You're just jealous I'm saying to you now, get some sleep You're just jealous you have to go to bed at nine Okay, well I'm not talking to you anymore

Midnight, and I usually wake up at 7.30 Right, so you're getting seven and a half hours I'm not talking to you anymore. Midnight, and I usually wake up at 7.30. Right, so you're getting seven and a half hours. 7.30, eight o'clock-ish. So, yes, seven and a half to eight hours. Well, according to a new study from our 30s right into old age, we should be aiming for exactly seven hours of sleep a night. Oh, see? I'm a pioneer.

Maybe I should go to bed at 12.30. Push the boat out. Research done by University of Cambridge, they looked at almost 500,000 adults from the age of 38 up until 73. They asked them about their sleeping patterns, their mental health, because your sleep impacts your mental health, their overall well-being, and they also put them through a bunch of cognitive tests to see how reactive they are, see

how well their brain is actually functioning. They discovered that too much sleep and not enough sleep both could cause mental health problems and make you slower cognitively, make you react slower, bad in the car, bad in the kitchen,

bad in the bedroom, from in the kitchen. In the bedroom. Bad in the bedroom. Yeah, from too much and too little. Isn't that interesting? Oh, God. I mean, too much, too little. You have to be perfect. Even sleep.

You have to have perfect sleep. More than that, you have to be perfect consistently. Because if you have a night where you get only five hours sleep, and you go, I'll make it up tomorrow, I'll get nine hours sleep. And that will add up to seven hours across both nights. That's how it works. They said, nah, bolt, that don't work. It's not good enough.

You have to consistently get seven hours of sleep every night. What about if you have a little cat nap in your car at the car park at work? Like on the same day, technically. Weirdly, they didn't go into that one. They didn't give any details on that. I feel like it's super relatable. Yeah. Well, if you're beating yourself up because you didn't get eight hours, chill out, man.

It's seven. Seven's the number. However, if you're getting four, you need to sort your life out, man. Quickly. Four? Who's getting four? Jeez. Let's delve into the Facebook memory bag.

Facebook memories. That's right. This is the segment where Clint and I delve deep into the underbelly of our Facebooks. Why did you choose those two songs for the intro? Facebook wasn't even invented in either of those years. Well, there was none that was like, let's go back to 2008. It's not long enough ago, okay? Right. Anyway, if you haven't done this on your own Facebook, I encourage you to do it because it will humble you.

I encourage you to do it for safety because we said some wild things back. That were appropriate, maybe. They weren't appropriate, but people said them back then but they don't say them now. I feel like half the stuff on my Facebook was written by a different person. Oh I'd love to see some of those posts. It's a good way of keeping yourself in check and we've gone into our Facebook memories today.

That's right. You can do this on your own Facebook page. In the search bar just put in memories and it'll come up with some memories from different years. I'll kick us off. Here's a Facebook memory that came up for me today. On June 14th, 2020. Oh, that's not that long ago. No, two years ago.

Two years ago. Producer Ali left. Did she on this day? It was today, two years ago. So there's an emotional album up there from Ali where we're both tagged in it and we've said farewell and there were tears and there was pizza and it was two years ago that producer Ali left the show.

Funny that memory didn't come up for me. Maybe she didn't tag me in it. Did you block her? No, of course I didn't. I saw her a couple of weekends ago. Look, I've only got two memories from this day. So I'll go with the less one. This was 11 years ago, so June 14th, 2011.

And all it says is is just ate three oranges. Yeah, boy. Nice update. I mean, cool Facebook memory. That's good content. I can match you on that one. On June 14th, 2009, I wrote on Facebook, no pictures, just wrote, Clint Roberts

is real sore, eh? Oh, and you spoke about yourself in the third person. No, no. It's back when that's how Facebook statuses were. Cool, man. It started off, it said Clint Roberts is. That's how it was. That's how it was.

God. Was it? Are you sure? Yes. The only other memory I have from this day was nine years ago, June 14th, 2013. And, I mean, I feel like this is pretty good content. 2013, nine years ago yeah yeah

and it says doesn't matter if I'm on the complete other side of town and I accidentally press my garage door opener I'm pressing it again just in case it reaches 30 kilometres and has opened it. Yeah right what if it opens it again while you're that far away from your house

and you can't tell. What do you think about that? What? Lucky I don't have a garage door opener anymore. Last one for me is a photo. You'll appreciate this. We are currently in state of origin season. And on June 14th, 2012, I went to this state of origin party back when I was willing to stay up after 9.30 at night. Oh, look at you.

Guess what I can see? You're wearing a Maroons t-shirt and you've got a Maroons hat on. Exactly right. He's a Maroons fan. I always was. Oh, you've always told me that you were like, blues all the way, and I believed you. No, I said that to wind you up. Oh, the fickle world of radio, hey? That clearly worked, too.

Who won? That game? I have no idea, mate. That's from 2012. I can tell you. It was the Maroons. We won every game that year. Brian Clint, if you've got a good Facebook memory, feel free to share it with us.

You can tag us, I guess. Yeah. And we'll see it. Here is Ali Douwe on ZM. This is Middle of the Night. Brian Clint. Middle of the Night. Brian Clint.

From iHeartRadio. This is Middle of the Night. Brianne Clint. Middle of the Night. Brianne Clint. From iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. The new Buzz Lightyear movie is out controversially not starring Tim Allen. I know. As the voice of Buzz Lightyear. But I guess things move on. But news out today, Dean, that the movie's actually been banned in some countries. Yes.

Now, the movie has been banned in the United Arab Emirates because there is a scene in the film involving a same-sex relationship. I know they're a cartoon. It's an animated Pixar film, right? However, one of the stars, Space Ranger Alicia, which is voiced by Uzo Aduba, marries another woman, and there's a scene of them actually doing a very brief kiss in the film.

So they banned the film from the UAE. Now, as you guys know, I know everyone else listening knows this, but I host a show that airs in the UAE every week. Yes. And this is not a surprise to me, and this happens a bit. And I get, like, obviously very, very uncomfortable

about this topic with them them because I'll get the email it's like hey I know you covered you know what was the last one it was actually another Disney film I can't I've gone blank but there was another Disney film because there was a gay character yeah and they'll be like sorry we can't actually run the content because that movie's been banned in this region um what I love about Disney though, let me just say this, they do not care. Let me tell you something, this is some insight. They've been asked to make, they get asked to make a different edit

and they're like, absolutely not. That's what my question was going to be. Is there like, you know, with songs that we play on the radio, we cut out certain swear words so we can play them. Yeah, would Disney do an edit, but they don't. Absolutely not.

They were not even entertaining the idea. They could, absolutely. They could cut that scene in two seconds and they'd still make millions of dollars in that area, in that region. And they're like, nah, that's the movie and that's the movie. It's the principle, right? And we're not fucking down on that. And I love that.

Yeah, good for them. That's impressive. That's amazing. And can I say, Disney, I mean, Disney's impressive. That's amazing. Can I say Disney? I mean, Disney's obviously on the right track. They are making moves in the right direction and they're one of the biggest, most family-friendly

companies in the world. And I think it's amazing to see them leading the charge and having representation in their films. They've got power to make a difference. You know, they really do. And I think that's awesome. And that's a fascinating insight, D. Thank you so much.

That new Buzz Lightyear movie actually looks pretty good. It looks amazing. Chris Evans, I think, is the right choice. If you're not going to get Tim Allen, then Chris Evans is a great choice. He's a great pick. Play. ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta.
