Hi everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast. Are you recording this Ben?
Did you put the tape in?
Did you put the cassette in?
Yeah, I put the cassette in.
Yeah, good.
I've got a cute story.
Yeah?
I've got a cute story for the podcast.
Is it about cassettes?
No, it's not about cassettes, but it's about old things.
So, my mum calls me yesterday or last night.
It must have been last night.
And she was really excited and she sounded really happy and relieved
and I was like, what's going on?
So a bit of background.
I grew up in this – I grew up in a house where it was renovated
a couple of times and then we lived there till i mean until four
years ago until my parents built this new house so i pretty much lived in one house my whole
childhood except for when i was like one or two i think so i grew up in this one house um anyway
this one part of the house which is near the home office, there was this piece of wood and my mum would measure our heights
on this piece of wood.
Very common.
Lots of people do it.
Anyway, it had –
It's so sad when that gets painted over.
Yeah, so this is what happened, right?
So anyway, it had all of our heights.
It had our cousins and like family members and all that type of stuff,
like super sentimental type of thing.
Dates?
Dates, ages, all that type of stuff, like super sentimental type of thing. Dates? Dates, ages, all that type of thing.
And anyway, when the house got renovated when I was like about 11,
that's the one panel in the house that didn't get painted over.
Right.
Because my mum told them not to, obviously.
Anyway, so then once the house got renovated, that was still there.
And then four years ago, obviously, my parents moved into their new dream house, their forever home, that type of thing.
And my mum thought she had managed to crowbar this piece of wood off the wall because it was in an archway.
Yeah.
And anyway, she said to me, she's like, oh, I'm going to go find that thing
and I want to put it somewhere in our new house and whatever.
Anyway, she has been looking for about seven or eight months
and she couldn't find it anywhere.
Did they have like a shipping container of stuff?
There was just stuff everywhere.
It's like, you know, it's like 30 years of things, you know.
And she had come to the conclusion, she was like, it's gone.
Like gone forever.
And she was devastated about it.
Anyway, one of my sister's, typical small town,
one of my sister's best friends, her and her family actually moved
into our old home and they're renting it from the new owners.
Anyway, so they've moved into our old home and it just so happened last week
she gets a call from my sister's friend.
Her name's Katrina and they were moving some stuff around.
She said, hi, Di.
I moved the fridge and this weird piece of wood board thing fell out from the back of the fridge.
Is this yours?
I think it is.
It's got all your kids' names on it.
Mate, where the frick was that story from Mind Blown Monday?
That's a mind-blowing story.
Is it?
That's a mind-blowing story.
The fact that your mum happens to be looking for this piece of wood
at the exact same time that someone who is connected to you,
but not directly connected to you and not in contact with you,
the piece of wood falls out from behind the fridge.
Crazy.
Ben, do an explosion of some sort.
Go on, make a...
Do it.
Anastasia, do it with your mouth.
Go on.
Oh, no.
Damn it.
That one I would have exploded instantly
You reckon?
Oh, see, I didn't even know
I just thought it was a pretty cute story
Because you've got those layers
Like even the fact that the new owners rented to someone
That you kind of know, but not know that well
And crazy that my mum literally was like
I'm giving up, because I've looked everywhere
And also crazy that you guys grew
And your heights changed
I know, isn't it wild how people grow?
You don't know that they did.
You don't know.
Brianna might have been born this size.
You know what's crazy?
You know what's crazy?
Is that I was this height.
Yeah.
Okay, here's the game.
How old do you think I was when I grew to this height?
Like, what was the age?
You're a girl.
It would have been young.
Twelve.
No.
You looked very surprised
I'm 15
Fifteen
Fifteen
Fifteen
Oh don't steal my ass
Have I said that?
I was going to say fifteen
This is far to the heights
I was busy being angry
At Ben by saying twelve
Okay yes I was fifteen
Oh
I got it
Ben play the explosion
Yeah girls
Men
They rock it up
We grow so early eh
And boys like
I had serious
Growing pains in my knees
Like aching knees
For years yeah
I was the short kid
In class
Because I'm 6'2 now
I was the short kid
In class
Right up until I was like
13 or 14
14 maybe
And then boom
Growth spurt
But with the growth spurt
Came horrific
Blood noses.
Really?
And I put it down to growing.
So you get growing pain in your knees.
I bled out my face every day for like nine months.
Whoa.
Like a tap.
Like blood like passing out of my face.
You know what they say you get blood noses from?
What?
Like I say again, I was 14.
Exactly, that's what I said.
He complained straight.
He's like, I didn't know what it was from.
Your blood was just rushing.
Oh, I just got what you mean.
Sorry, I thought you meant.
No, no, no, no.
What?
Okay, Brie gestured.
Now I have to say.
I saw a picture of you.
Brie gestured, you know, doing teenage saw a picture of you Brie gestured You know, doing teenage boy things
Yeah
I thought she meant doing a BJ
I was like, Brie, that's not a good joke
No
He's just complaining about
I would never make that joke in my life
Right, right, right, right
Yeah
Well, yeah, there's plenty of that going on
Yeah, I bet
Ben, play the explosion
Typical 14-year-old boy
Play the explosion
Don't make it awkward
Have you guys ever had
Like when you were younger
Did you ever have a wet dream
When you were sleeping over
At someone's house
No
Are you sure
I had this conversation the other day
I never had one in general
Do girls have them
I don't think girls have them
Anastasia
Oh I'm still waiting
No
No We were on a girls trip And two of the girls see that everyone.
Oh, actually, we all might be wrong, so just hold on.
Pipe down.
I need to Google, but I've got to open up incognito.
The girl one, it wouldn't be as messy.
Huh?
So we're getting into some murky territory.
Yes, some do.
Oh, that's not as fun
I wanted to roast Anastasia
We are like
A formal apology
I'm so sorry Anastasia
For all three of you
And no piss takes
Full apologies
Well there you go
Bree's never had one either
I've
No never
I don't think I have
I would like an apology
From everyone
I'm sorry Anastasia
For laughing at you
So it says here
So it's kind of not the same
It says
Although girls can't
Thingy
Do what boys do
They can have an orgasm
During a dream
Yeah yeah yeah
Fun?
Why haven't I had that?
This is bullshit
Oh girls don't have them Bray

Oh yeah! Yeah! Oh yeah! Alright, here's the podcast. Let me get a... Oh yeah!
What time is it?
Two, three, two, one!
It is Bree and Clint.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
It's Bree and Clint, thoroughly enthralled by the Winter Olympics at the moment.
Oh, this... Oh, nah.
She missed it.
She stacked it.
I think in snowboarding you say she stacked it.
Yeah, that was a big stack.
Yeah.
That was a wipe out.
We're watching for Zoe Sadowski-Sinnett,
our Kiwi girl who's hoping to go back-to-back with the gold medals.
And we're also doing that thing where you sit here as a regular punter
watching the Olympics going, yeah, that wasn't very good.
Don't you hate that?
Yeah.
And then you think about it and you're like, shut up.
Someone's just done like three full rotations and a backflip at the same time and we're going, yeah, no. I mean,
that was average. I mean, if I was there, I probably would have, you know, done a 920.
We'll give you an update as soon as there's a result on that. We'll see if Zoe can get in the
medals again. Today on the show, we will be telling you how you can score yourself a brand
new car. That's right. We've officially made it in the radio business
because we have a brand new car to give away, Bree.
That's right. I mean, how exciting.
It's a Honda Jazz. We'll give you all the info.
And we'll start the show with Tradiverse Lady today.
That's right. We've got 50 bucks up for grabs, all thanks to our mates at KFC.
And if you want it, call now 0800 DIAL ZM.
Here's the Biebs on ZM.

Tradies versus ladies.
Thank you, Clint.
Welcome back to the coverage.
Currently here...
Man, it's cold.
My nipples are so stuffed.
It is very cold.
We're excited to be here.
The ladies sitting on a solid 10 wins,
but the tradies are on the comeback with five wins for the year.
Let's meet our lady first.
She's from Talmaki Makoto.
She's 33 years old, and she loves, correct me if I'm wrong,
is it acro yoga?
Welcome to the show, Laura.
G'day, Laura.
Is it acrobatic yoga?
It is acrobatic yoga? It is acrobatic yoga. So I still do quite a lot of, like, partnered acrobatic yoga.
So it's a lot of floor work and a lot of, like, aerial stuff.
And, yeah, it's really cool.
Is it with the scarves, the sheets?
No, no, that's kind of like silk type things.
Yeah, right.
And it's, like, on the floor as a base.
Got it, right.
And then they spin you around like with their feet,
like sort of, you know, that sort of thing.
It's quite cool.
And then you can get on their shoulders.
There's a yoga for everything these days, isn't there?
There's all kinds of yoga.
I want to do doga.
Right.
Dog yoga.
Let's meet your competition today.
He's a tradie.
He's 21 years old.
He's also from Auckland and he loves snowboarding.
Welcome to the show, Ryan. G'day, Ryan. What's your best trick? G'day, how's it tradie. He's 21 years old. He's also from Auckland, and he loves snowboarding. Welcome to the show, Ryan.
G'day, Ryan.
What's your best trick?
G'day, how's it going?
Good, mate.
What's your best trick you can pull on a snowboard?
Oh, nothing amazing, to be honest.
I'd more just like to ride.
Why are you calling us?
Why aren't you watching Zoe in the big air final?
At work, eh?
I don't really have the opportunity.
Yeah, right, true.
Ben, put it back on the TV, man.
What if we miss Zoe?
Jesus.
Someone's got to watch it.
How are we meant to commentate it if we can't see it?
Okay, Ryan, your buzzer is tradie.
Laura, your buzzer is lady.
First to three gets $50 cash thanks to KFC.
Good luck.
All right, guys, here we go.
Question number one.
Alice in Wonderland fell down a what?
Tradie.
Yes, Ryan.
Rabbit hole.
That is correct.
She did fall down a rabbit hole.
I don't think I would have got that.
You wrote it.
Yeah, I know, but I had to look it up.
Question number two.
Zoe Zdowski-Sinnett.
Now I'm questioning the answer.
No, it is right.
I looked it up.
Zoe Zdowski-Sinnett is competing in the Big Air final at the Winter Olympics as we speak.
What snow apparatus does Zoe use?
Tradie.
Yes, Ryan.
Snowboard. It is Ryan? Snowboard.
It is indeed a snowboard.
There's a centre of a question for you.
Don't worry, Laura, there'll be a yoga question later.
Come on, Laura, you need this one here to stop him, okay?
Question number three.
The Little Mermaid had a pet fish named what?
Lady.
Yes, Laura?
Flounder.
It was flounder.
Nice work.
You're on the board.
Two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
Question number four.
Name one of the regular hosts on TVNZ's 7pm, 7sharp show.
Oh, tradies.
Yes, Ryan.
Paul Henry?
No.
Laura, you want to stab?
Oh, there's a lady that's just arrived now and I've forgotten her name.
You can see her face, can't you?
Jeremy Wells or Hilary Barry.
We would have accepted.
That's what we were looking for.
It's okay.
Next one.
All right.
Question number five.
Here we go.
What does a thermometer measure?
Yes, Laura.
Temperature. Temperature.
Temperature is correct.
We are all tied up in this game.
Here we go.
Question number six.
This is for the win.
How many continents are there in the world?
Yes, Ryan, for the win.
Let's go. The tradies are on the comeback. $50. $50. Oh, you're the worst in the house, man. He's done it.
Let's go.
Let's go.
The trainees are on the comeback.
50 bucks, thanks to KFC, coming your way.
Awesome.
Bree and Clint.
In first place, going into the final round of the big air competition
at the Winter Olympics at the moment.
Jeez, it is gut-wrenching watching this.
She's only up by one point.
They're flying literally eight to nine metres in the air. That's how
big it is. And that nuclear power plant
in the background. I know. Anyway,
prepare to get
aggro, frustrated
and maybe yell at
your radio a little bit because this is one of those
food power rankings that you may or may not
agree with. Oh yes, I've seen these before.
Madeline Chapman, who writes for the
spin-off, has done another Food Power Ranking.
She's the person who did the ice creams and ice blocks
at the start of summer.
Was she the one who did the chips?
Yes, she did chips.
She did chips.
She's the person who said that the Cyclone
was the number one ice cream or ice block in the country.
I love the Cyclone.
It's not the best in the country, though.
Oh, the Cyclone does it for me.
What would you say is?
I don't know, not the Cyclone. The Cyclone does it for me. What would you say is? I don't know.
Not the cyclone.
The cyclone's awesome.
Although I noticed they've made them smaller recently.
Well, triggered.
Either way, she's very talented and she's done the research,
so we have to hear her out.
She has put together the power rankings for the fish and chips sides,
as in the things you get to go with your fish and chips.
The 23 most common fish and chip sides available in New Zealand
ranked in order of worst to best.
Okay.
Okay.
The only disclaimer is it's not fish or chips.
Because they're the main.
Because they're the staple.
They're the main.
They're the main actor.
Which I would, if I was doing it, I would have put fish on the list.
But then if fish didn't come first, you'd go,
well, why is it on the title?
What's the point of this?
So let's run through these and we'll see how angry we get.
Number 23, as in the worst, a fish cake.
Yeah, I'll agree with that.
I don't think I've ever had a fish cake.
You don't need one.
It's like powdered fish.
Doesn't sound like something I'd want to try, though.
Number 22, a samosa.
Love a samosa.
Get out of here with fish and chips.
I think it's weird with fish and chips.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not for me.
It's like they grabbed some samosas from the supermarket.
Yeah, just, yeah.
21, meat patty.
Yeah, leave it in the burger.
A meat patty?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
By itself?
Yeah, they batter it and then they deep fry it.
Oh, no.
No, that's last.
Number 20, onion rings.
I love onion rings.
I don't know if they're a fish and chip shop specialty though.
I don't think so either.
Right?
That's why they're down the bottom, I guess.
19, chicken nugget.
Get out of here, chicken nugget.
Chicken nuggets is not a fish and chip thing.
No.
No.
No.
But I love chicken nuggets.
I love chicken nuggets, but not a fish and chip thing.
Then 18, scallops.
I love a scallop.
Scallops are 18?
Yeah.
Are you insane?
It's a luxury item, though, at the fish and chip shop.
Scallops are awesome.
Yeah, well, they're way down at 18.
Number 17, corn fritter.
I don't know if that's a fish and chip shop thing either.
And that beats a scallop.
I mean, I love a corn fritter, don't get me wrong,
but it's not a fish and chip thing.
Number 16 is a prawn twister.
Yeah, they're cold usually, aren't they?
They're eaten cold. No cold stuff from the fish and chip shop. Like a prawn twister. Yeah, they're cold usually, aren't they? Yes. They're eaten cold.
Yeah.
No cold stuff from the fish and chip shop.
It's like a prawn trumpet.
This is controversial.
My mum will be pissed off.
Spring roll, number 15.
Oh, I love a spring roll.
It says spring roll small.
I wonder if it's those ones that come with the samosas.
I love small ones.
Oh, no.
Give me the big one.
I do like the small ones.
Give me the big sloppy cabbage filled one.
Number 14.
Yeah, that sounds lovely. Wonton. Not a fish and small ones. Give me the big sloppy cabbage filled one. Number 14. That sounds lovely.
Wanton?
Not a fish and chip thing.
Not a fish and chip thing.
No.
Although a lot of Chinese restaurants,
like Chinese takeaways do have fish and chips too.
That's true.
Number 13, battered sausage.
Oh, nah.
Now, battered sausage,
you need to distinguish between hot dog on a stick
and battered sausage.
What's a battered sav? That's a hot dog on a stick and battered sausage. What's a battered sav?
That's a hot dog on a stick.
Yeah, I don't really like to batter my sav.
Well, that's, yeah, that's, then they whack the stick in it.
The battered sausage is actually a sausage that they've put batter on.
You mean a dagwood dog?
A dagwood dog?
That's what I think us Aussies call them.
Oh, let's not muddy the water.
You call them an American hot dog here.
No, that's a hot dog in a bun.
Well, what's the Dagwood dog then?
I don't know.
I've never heard of a Dagwood.
A hot dog.
Don't bring Dagwood.
It's a battered sausage.
We've got enough to get through.
Don't bring Dagwoods into it.
Number 12, deep fried chocolate bar.
Yum.
Yeah, but.
That's a fish and chip thing.
Yeah.
It is.
But it's dessert.
It's not a side.
It's dessert.
Surely.
Yes, that can't be the same.
Like, are you taking a bite of your deep fried Mars bar
and then having a bite of fish?
Like, is that how you're doing it?
Sweet and salty.
Yes, please.
Number 11, power fritter.
Oh, yum.
Yum.
I don't think you can get those everywhere.
You can't, but they are phenomenal.
Yeah, also have to be done right.
Number 10, deep fried oysters.
I love a deep fried oyster from the fish and chips.
No, no, no.
I do.
And I would say that-
It's a deep fried booger.
A deep fried oyster is a good gateway entry
into the oyster world, you know?
It's a gateway entry into vomitville.
Number nine, sausage plain.
What's sausage?
What, just a sausage?
How is sausage, how is a plain sausage
beaten a battered sausage?
Oh, I'd be upset if I was the battered sausage.
I'd be very upset.
Number eight, squid ring.
Yeah, I mean, are we talking calamari?
Yeah, but is it real?
Is it real?
Is it fake calamari?
You know, you get the powdered one.
Is it fake calamari?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I like the real ones.
Business end, number seven, pineapple fritter.
Oh, I love a pineapple fritter from the fish and chips shop.
Have you ever had a banana?
No.
A battered banana?
No.
We have them in Aussie and they're delightful.
Is it really hot inside?
Is a banana like tomato?
Does it hold heat?
No, not too bad.
Right.
Not too bad.
Probably similar to a pineapple fritter.
Why is it okay to have a pineapple fritter with your fish and chips,
but it's not okay to have a deep fried chocolate bar at the same time, right?
This is just sweet and salty again.
We should start a company where we do battered bananas.
Yeah, okay.
I think we can.
How much do you want me to invest?
Free and Clint's battered bananas.
That'll take off.
Yeah.
Number six, spring roll big.
That's my cabbage filled one.
I like any spring rolls.
I feel like it's the same thing. Yeah. Okay. Top five. Here we go. That's my cabbage filled one. I like any spring rolls.
I feel like it's the same thing.
Yeah.
Okay.
Top five.
Here we go.
Okay.
Five, donut.
A donut is not a fish and chip. A donut has beaten spring roll, pineapple fritter, deep fried sausage.
Unropeable.
Number four, mussels.
Oh.
Who's getting mussels from the fish and chip shop?
That's a fancy fish and chip shop. No, not mussels. Mussels aren't fancy. I getting mussels from the fish and chip shop? That's a fancy fish and chip shop
Nah, not mussels
Mussels aren't fancy
I hate mussels
Oysters are fancy
Number three
Hot dog on a stick
Dagwood dog
That's a dagwood dog
Is it?
Yeah
I think Americans
Are those chilli dogs?
They call them Pluto pups
Oh Christ
Everyone's got a different name for it
Number two
This is real. Number two.
This is real business end.
Number two.
I mean, the scallop got bloody axed back in 17.
Number two is a crab stick.
I'm so angry.
Which if we're talking about fake meat, crab sticks are fake meat.
I'm so angry.
Number one.
The number one side.
Better be everything.
Chip shop.
Potato fritter.
Wait.
So what's a scallop?
A scallop.
You've got to think of scallop potato.
No, scallop as in scallop from the shellfish.
Potato fritter is a scallop.
Potato scallop.
Either way, that's number one.
It's just a large chip.
Oh, it's pretty good.
I swear to God these lists are put together for this reaction.
I thought the potato scallop got ditched in 17.
Oh, you were thinking potato scallop.
Potato scallop's pretty good.
I'm pretty happy with that.
There you go, everybody.
According to Madeline Chapman from the spinoff,
who we love,
the ideal fish and chip side.
But a crab stick.
It's a potato fritter.
Bree and Clint.
This is a hell of a way to get into it as well.
Like, they're doing aerial backflips.
I mean, go big or go home, I say.
I'm more of a Happy Valley kind of snowboarder.
Hey, I want to run this scenario past you,
and I want to ask you the question, is this awkward, okay?
I caught up with some friends from back home in Rotorua over the weekend
and one of them's getting married, okay?
She was telling us about the bridesmaid's arrangement
at her wedding.
Right.
And like I said, I want you to decide if this is awkward.
Are they listening?
She doesn't think it is.
If she is, she said that I could talk about it.
Okay, but it might change my decision.
Oh, I see.
Just come from your gut.
You'll have a feeling.
So she is a bridesmaid at her friend's wedding,
but she has not asked that friend to be a bridesmaid at her wedding.
Is that awkward?
Yep.
Okay.
Just because if they were way far apart, are they close together?
What do you mean?
Like are the weddings close together?
Yeah, they're both this year.
Oh, yeah, that makes it awkward.
Both weddings are being planned at the moment.
Yeah, that's awkward.
Okay, well, there's more.
Her partner has their partner as one of his groomsmen at her wedding.
Okay.
And the friend's partner has her partner as his groomsman at their
wedding. Oh, it's getting worse.
Is that awkward? What? So why
does the other one not just have her as a
bridesmaid? She just said, oh, I just
don't. You're not in my
top three? I guess. Top four.
Oh, it's even worse!
So, but I mean,
it's locked in. They've accounted
for numbers. They've got four and four.
The partner, her partner, got drunk recently and invited another person to be a groomsman.
So he now has five.
So does that mean she has to add someone else?
She could, because she's only got four.
Oh, she has to now.
She's sticking with four.
No, no, no.
So she's going to stick with four.
I feel very uncomfortable.
And he's going to have five.
How does the girl who's getting shafted feel about it?
From what I can tell, well, I'm only hearing one side of the story,
but fine.
No, she's not.
She's not fine.
You think?
Yeah, when a girl says, I'm fine, they're not fine.
I said to my friend, I was like, you've got to just whack her in.
Like at this stage, you've got to just get her in there.
Like what's it going to cost you?
One extra dress?
Not that awkward if you end up being a bridesmaid in one of your friend's weddings
and then your wedding's like three years later.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's easy.
Because lots change.
Lots changes.
Yeah, lots changes and it's easy.
But when it's like that close and all of, oh, just what are you doing?
I reckon they'll get to the date and he'll have five up there and she'll have four
and the friend will be in the crowd because the friend's going to the wedding,
which possibly makes it even more awkward.
I reckon she'll be like, all right, get up here.
Imagine if she was like, oh, we have to cut numbers.
And you haven't made the cut to the wedding.
Right, so we're on the same page.
It's a little bit awkward.
Absolutely, that's awkward.
Zoe Sadowski, Senate results.
If you don't want to hear this,
I'll give you a quick second to block your ears or do something.
Three, two, one.
Zoe has just claimed a silver medal at the Winter Olympics.
Unbelievable.
What an amazing
display
of athleticism. She's incredible.
A gold and a silver.
She just missed out on the gold.
The Austrian who had
to perform one of the biggest
jump of the whole competition to beat
her and Zoe
went for it on the last jump.
It was good to watch.
She nearly had it.
I can't wait for the drunken interview with Zoe's dad.
Me too.
That's what we're all waiting for.
That's the real main event.
I said before that there's a new injury being sustained by gamers.
You're a gamer, Bree.
Yeah, I'm a bit of a gamer.
Have you ever injured yourself while gaming?
I've got a bit of RSI in the wrist.
Yeah, a bit of a tennis elbow.
That's gaming too much.
One of the big insurance companies has revealed
there's a big increase in the number of insurance claims
related to people wearing VR headsets.
Oh, no, I haven't gone that far.
You haven't?
No, I don't have a VR set.
No?
No.
Oh, you've got to get one.
I don't know anyone who's got one.
This list of injuries includes someone smashing a light
while they had their VR headset on.
Because if you don't know what it is,
it's those goggles that go over your face
and often there's headphones that go over your ears
and then there's paddles that you hold in your hands.
Yeah, it's like Wii Sports, but you're in the game.
It's what I think the metaverse is.
I don't really know.
Someone else punched a ceiling fan.
Oh, my God.
Another woman slammed into furniture she couldn't see.
The average claim for a VR headset injury accident is $1,330.
Wow.
The main claim is for broken TVs.
Yeah.
So you imagine you're playing VR tennis or something,
and you, bam, you whack your TV screen right into it.
Have you seen all the videos on TikTok of people, like,
literally running at the TV?
It's so funny.
Which is ironic because you don't actually need a TV if you've got a VR headset.
No, they're just playing in the living room.
You are the TV.
One person put in an injury for punching their son in the face while playing VR.
Accidentally, obviously.
They didn't know the kid was there.
Kids were walking into the room going, mummy, mummy, obviously. They didn't know the kid was there. Kids would be walking to the room and going,
Mummy, Mummy, Mummy.
That's what she told him anyway.
The mum's doing Olympic swimming or something.
Oh, it was an accident.
Someone tore off a fingernail on the back of their couch
and someone fractured the C7 vertebrae in their neck.
Jeez, what the hell?
Because you go into this world
and the character that you are is fit, right?
You go in there and all of a sudden you're Lara Croft Tomb Raider
or whatever, whatever current reference is.
When in reality, you're definitely not Lara Croft Tomb Raider.
But you're in there and you're sword fighting, if that's what Lara does,
and you're whatever.
Sword fighting.
Have you ever watched Tomb Raider?
I don't game, okay?
Tomb Raider's also a movie.
This is why.
Anyway, that's my warning for you
is VR headsets dangerous.
Also, the real risk is
get the VR headset. You start
watching the naughty videos on the VR
headset. Is that something people do? Yeah, you have
a 360 view. I thought you were
going to say something else with a three in it.
Oh, no, no. What? Three.
Oh, well, you might be doing that. I thought you were going to say,
yeah. But you've got the goggles on.
You've got the headphones on.
You're totally immersed.
And then someone else walks into the room.
You break your penis.
You know?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh.
I just mean you're watching something and your partner or your mum or your dad walks
into the room and you don't know that they're in the room.
That's the real risk for the VR headset.
Yeah, because without the VR headset totally fine
you'd know they were there is my point
Kia ora this is Toby Manhai
I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime
a podcast for the spin-off podcast network
all about politics and politicians
with me Annabel Leigh-Mather and Ben Thomas
careering wildly from the very serious
to the very ridiculous
it's not for everyone
I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea
but you I reckon will love it would be Ellen's cup of tea,
but you, I reckon, will love it.
Gone by lunchtime.
Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts.
Bree and Clint.
Right now on the show,
something we do every so often,
and it evokes an emotion, that's for sure.
But it's supposed to.
It's meant to.
But we forget that.
So every time we do it, someone says something and we get angry.
But we shouldn't.
And then we realise, oh, this is what we're supposed to feel.
Because we were asking people for it.
Producer Ben, last week I believe it was, made an outrageous claim.
Producer Ben, hello, good afternoon.
Hey.
Just, I feel like we need to.
You're very sheepish.
Is he bullish?
I think people will agree with you There's always people that agree
When you come out with these things
There's always the people that agree
We need to set his character a little bit
Ben, you're a big fan of who?
Elton John
He's your number one artist
He would definitely be up there
Ben loves this guy
Loves his music
You were planning to go twice, weren't you?
Yeah, I was, yeah.
But you only made it to one concert.
You were front row for Elton's COVID concert in Auckland.
That's correct.
In 2020.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And for some reason, I can't remember the context,
but we were talking about Elton John's back catalogue of music
and the song Benny and the Jets came up.
And, of course, we all look to you know
Elton John's number one fan
on the show, Ben McDowell
who came out with
what Ben? What did you say about the
song Benny and the Jets?
Not one of his better
songs. What the f...
Benny and the Jets
I believe I remember
because I wrote it down.
You said quite average.
Like, it wouldn't be in the top five or ten for me.
Not even in the top ten.
Benny and the Jets is not a top five Elton John song.
It's fun.
Like, there's nothing wrong with the song.
It's just not, in my opinion, not one of my favourites of his.
You reckon there's ten songs, minimum 10 songs that Elton John has made
that are better than Benny and the Jets?
Nah, you've got to own it.
You say not in your top 10, that's fair enough.
There'll be people that'll agree.
Yeah.
What is it about Benny and the Jets?
Is it too mainstream for you?
Are you a deep cuts guy?
Nah, I don't know.
You're a B-sides and rarities kind of man.
I don't know.
I just have never gone, okay, can't wait until that comes on. Have you heard it, the song? Have you heard Benny and the Jets? Yeah, I've't know. You're a B-sides and rarities kind of man. I don't know. I just have never gone, okay, can't wait until that comes on.
Have you heard it, the song?
Have you heard Benny and the Jets?
Yeah, I've heard it.
Are you sure you've heard it?
Like if it came on in my Elton Shuffle playlist,
I would definitely pass through it and skip it.
It doesn't make sense, though.
You would skip it.
I probably would, yep.
That's the only song of Elton's that uses his name.
He should love it.
Yeah, true. Oh, my God. It's literally called Ben and theton's that uses his name. He should love it. Yeah, true.
Oh, my God.
It's literally called Ben and the Jets.
Go on, Ben.
Haven't you seen the movie 42 Dresses?
Is that what the movie's called?
24.
Is it 20?
I swear it's 42.
Is that it?
I consider myself a Catherine.
Anyway.
Oh, 27 Dresses.
Neither of us were right.
It's 24.
Was the song in that movie?
Yeah, it's a great scene.
Yeah.
Right.
You know the applause
in that Benny and the Jets song, Ben?
You know how it sounds
like a live song?
I think it is live.
No, it's not live.
Elton John has taken applause
from a Jimi Hendrix concert
and a Beatles concert
and layered it over
the Benny and the Jets song,
which just adds to it.
I don't know that.
It's magical.
No, I know you didn't know it because you didn't give it a chance.
Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
I need to know what is in your top five Elton John songs
if Benny and the Jets isn't getting a look in.
Does it have to be in order?
I wouldn't know the order.
Not in order.
It doesn't need to be in order.
Like Candle in the Wind,
Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man. Candle in the
Wind is better than Benny and the Jets.
Hey, yes. Absolutely.
Princess Diana, mate.
Okay, that was three. Saturday
Night.
Yeah. Maybe Philadelphia
Freedom. Right. Okay, well these are good
songs. They are great songs.
There's no Benny and the Jets. They're no Benny and the Jets.
Benny and the Jets is a fantastic song. It's so good.
It's just my opinion. It's so good that I think we should play it now when Ben can't
skip it. Or I can.
You know what he's done?
He's done a perfect unpopular opinion.
Because look at us. We're literally screaming
at him. What about the part where he's like
Benny!
So good! We want to hear your unpopular opinions this afternoon. look at us. We're literally screaming at him. What about the part where he's like, so good.
We want to hear your unpopular opinions this afternoon.
If you've got one about anything, it doesn't have to be
about Elton John. You can call
us now on 0800-DIAL-ZM and
simply say unpopular opinion but
and after that you can say whatever you want
to say. You can remain anonymous
if you want to keep your identity
hidden or own it.
Come on here and just own it.
That's what Ben did
and I respect that.
Do you?
Kind of.
Opinions time.
Producer Ben had an unpopular
opinion. Do you want to share it again
Producer Ben?
Yep, I'd love to.
Go on. It was that Elton John's
Use the format.
Unpopular opinion but Elton
John's song Benny and the Jet, not one of his
best ones.
He said he skips it
when it comes on.
As an Elton John fan, someone's texting
what's wrong with you Ben?
Your dad has texted and he said don't come home to Christchurch again Ben. And your mum has texted and I have John fans. Someone's texting, what's wrong with you, Ben? Your dad has texted and he said,
don't come home
to Christchurch again, Ben.
And your mum has texted
and I have no son.
I've heard worse
unpopular opinions.
Yeah.
I just thought of one
that I just want to
kick things off with.
Do you guys mind?
Go on.
Unpopular opinion,
but eggplant parmigiana
belongs in the bin.
No, you've said this before.
You don't...
Bennett,
it's horrible. Ter it. It's horrible.
Terrible.
It's good.
Nah, it's terrible.
It's a real category of parmigiana.
No, it's not.
It's horrible.
You need to get.
You're Italian.
Have you tried it?
Eggplant lasagna, even worse.
Hate it.
Let's get Charlotte on here.
Hi, Charlotte.
Hi, Charlotte.
Charlotte.
Oh, Christy. Oh, Christy.
Sorry, Christy.
You took me down the road too.
I was like, hello, Charlotte.
It was 50% your fault.
Christy, hi.
I was going to say, I'm not talking until they say my name.
Sorry, Christy.
Fair enough, Christy.
Okay, you just need to say unpopular opinion but,
and then you can say whatever you want.
Okay, unpopular opinion but,
butter doesn't belong on bread, but it belongs on want. Okay. Unpopular opinion, but butter doesn't belong on bread,
but it belongs on toast.
Whoa.
What do you put on your sandwiches?
I don't use butter on sandwiches.
Do you put mayo?
Yes, I use mayo in all the ranches and all that sort of stuff.
What if you're having a marmite and cheese sandwich?
Do you just go straight raw dog with the marmite onto the bread?
Yep.
Really? Oh, see, I do this
quite often. Like, if I'm putting mayonnaise on,
I don't put butter on. No, I wouldn't in that
situation. And I also wouldn't put butter on if
I was putting avocado on. But then there's a toast thing.
I don't know if I can wrap my head around
this, Christy. Sorry.
No, I kind of see your point, Christy.
You've challenged my small brain too much, but I mean,
it's not a popular opinion. That's a different segment.
Yvonne is here.
Hi, Yvonne.
Hi, Yvonne.
Hello.
Tell us, Yvonne, unpopular opinion but what?
So unpopular opinion,
but I think e-scooters should be banned on footpaths.
Ooh.
I don't know if this is unpopular.
Yeah, this might be kind of in the middle. I think it's
50-50. So do you think that e-scooters should
be on the road or do you think that they should have
their own special lane? Because I don't think they're allowed
in the bike lane. No.
They do have, I think they are allowed
like in central city Auckland. I think they're allowed
in the special bike lane. No, she's right.
They are. I've seen people. Have you been mowed down
by an e-scooter before? Is that where it comes from?
No, I haven't.
But what I think is so rude is when you're walking along
and you hear that bell and the ring that bell behind you
wanting you to get out of the way.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's when you just want to do your New York accent
and say, I'm walking here.
I'm walking here.
What about those weird segues that are like, you know?
The one wheel ones?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They should just be banned altogether.
And they stand in the middle of the wheel?
They're just straight bent.
Let's go to Nikki.
Hi, Nikki.
Hi, Nikki.
Howdy.
How are you?
Good.
Thank you, mate.
We're keen to hear this unpopular opinion when you're ready.
Unpopular opinion, but I don't like bacon.
Wait, wait.
Are you a vegetarian?
No, I'm not a vegetarian.
Are you Jewish?
No.
Oh, yeah, that's quite unusual.
Are you a pig lover?
Like, I'm looking for reasons for why you wouldn't like bacon.
Yeah.
Well, I am a pig farmer,
so I have the access to New Zealand's nicest bacon,
but I just think all bacon tastes like crap.
It's chewy.
You're a pig farmer.
It's disgusting.
No, I'm a pig farmer.
This is wild to me, Nikki, that you're a pig farmer
and you hate the taste of bacon, which I mean, I kind of get that.
Do you produce bacon?
Yeah, every day.
And you hate it?
Yes.
So I love all other aspects of pork and I love pigs. And you hate it? Yeah. So it's not even...
I love all other aspects of pork and I love pigs.
I just hate bacon.
Wow.
Don't tell me...
I always have.
Next thing you'll say is you hate salami.
Oh, no, I love salami.
Oh, sweet.
Okay, you can survive then.
It's all right then.
You're okay in our books.
Weird though, unpopular for sure.
Yeah.
Especially because you're a pig farmer.
It's just because of the taste.
There you go. There's some unpopular opinions. Take a. Especially because you're a pig farmer. It's just because of the taste.
There you go.
There's some unpopular opinions.
Take a deep breath, everybody.
Brie and Clint.
New Zealand can celebrate another Winter Olympics medal.
Zoe Sadowski-Sennett won a silver this afternoon.
It was incredible to watch.
She was in the gold medal position until the second last jump.
Until the last jump?
Oh, until the second last jump.
Yeah.
Like as in the girl who jumped just before her.
Oh, the second to last jump her.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought you meant, yeah.
The second to last jump of the whole thing.
Totally.
It was amazing.
So that is an epic Winter Olympics moment. What it has done is made this vintage Winter Olympics clip resurface
and what happens in the video is part of it.
It's more about how the commentator handles it.
The event in this video that I'm about to play the commentary of
is the downhill slalom skiing.
That's the one where they have to go around those flags.
They hit all the markers.
Yeah, and they whip them and they hit them so hard.
They're going so incredibly fast.
What you're about to hear is a man who goes over one of the flags
and the flag hits him in the downstairs region.
Oh, no.
One leg goes one side of the flag.
Oh, no.
The other leg goes the other side of the flag.
And he hits it at pace.
Like these skiers are going
so fast.
This is the commentary
that went out to the world as this event happens.
Yannick Bertrand.
Oh, the gate
to the groin for
Yannick Bertrand and you could
hear it. And if you're a man, you could
feel it. Wow. Oh, the man, you could feel it. Wow.
Oh, the Frenchman.
Oh, monsieur.
Wow, the boys took a beating on that one.
That guy needs a hug.
That guy needs a hug.
Listen one more time.
And I know we shouldn't bask in someone else's pain, and we're not.
But just listen to the moment after impact.
Yannick Bertrand. Oh, the gate to the after impact. Yannick Bertrand.
Oh, the gate to the groin for Yannick Bertrand,
and you could hear it.
And if you're a man, you could feel it. And you can hear it.
Oh, the Frenchman.
Oh, monsieur.
Wow, the boys took a beating on that one.
That guy needs a hug.
Does the commentator do a really good job
or a really unprofessional job?
That's my kind of commentating.
Because you can't plan for that, right?
No, you can't plan for a moment like that.
I think he nailed it.
You know what?
I mean, because we work in radio and 10 years ago in radio,
I mean, we'd have to come up with an idea around this content.
Yeah, we would, yeah.
You know?
And 10 years ago in radio.
Yeah, they'd be like, do something topical about the guy who took a flag to the balls. Yeah, we would, yeah. You know? And 10 years ago in radio. Yeah, they'd be like, do something topical about the guy
who took a flag to the Bulls.
Yeah, and I think the idea would probably go to that we perform
a science experiment and I get to kick you in the Bulls.
Yeah, well, thank God it's not 10 years ago.
Text 9696, who wants to see me, or hear rather,
me kick Clint in the balls live on air?
You're welcome.
You've had kids.
You're welcome to.
You've had the kids.
That's not the point.
You're welcome to waste your 20 cents texting on that poll.
The results will not be binding.
Well, we'll see.
It'll kick you back.
Let's play the name game.
The name game is where you need to rattle off celebrity names as fast as possible.
You'll go head-to-head with Brie in the hopes of winning some free KFC.
Jess is here.
Good afternoon, Jess.
Hello, Jess.
Good afternoon.
I've got a question for you.
Did you watch the Super Bowl halftime show yesterday?
No.
Oh, okay.
Are you familiar with Dr. Dre and Eminem?
Yes. Youem? Yes.
You are?
Okay.
Good, because the theme for today's name game,
all artists who performed in the halftime show.
Oh, okay.
But not all of them are using their real name.
So what I'm going to base it off is those artists' real names.
All right.
All you've got to do is yell out a famous person
who uses the name I give you as part of their name. Good luck. Alright. All you've got to do is yell out a famous person who uses the name I give you
as part of their name.
Good luck. First to three points
gets the win.
First person is Snoop Dogg
whose real name is Calvin
Broadus Jr.
Give me a famous Calvin.
Harris?
Correct. Oh yeah.
Nice work Jess
It's the only one
I came up with
as well
Calvin Harris
So that's good
Yeah
Okay one point to Jess
You had nothing there
I had nothing
I wasn't even sure
if you were listening
I was thinking
Calvin with a K
Oh yeah
Not Calvin
I thought you were
going to say
Calvin and the Chipmunks
I probably nearly did
That's all I had
Okay the main feature
of the show was Dr. Dre.
Everything centred around Dr. Dre.
His real name is
Andre Rommel Young.
Give me a famous Andre. 3000.
Well done.
From OutKast, Andre 3000.
I will accept
one point each.
The next one's really
hard. Okay, Eminem. His real name is Marshall Mathers. One point each. The next one's really hard, okay?
Eminem, his real name is Marshall Mathers.
I have Googled Marshall and I have Googled Mathers and I can find no one famous that uses those names.
So instead, we're going to use Eminem's daughter, Hayley.
Give me a famous Hayley.
Didn't even get a chance then.
She was fast off the mark, making up for lost time.
Okay, 2-1.
You need this one to stay in the game, okay, Jess?
Okay.
50 Cent performed at the Super Bowl halftime show yesterday.
His real name is Curtis James Jackson.
Give me a famous
James.
Oh,
James, all I can think of is Bond.
Blunt, Blunt, Blunt.
James Blunt is correct.
And with that, you get the win.
Congratulations.
Nice work, Jess.
You did well, though.
You gave me a run for my money. You get the KFC,
Jess. We just appreciate you playing. Do you, though. You gave me a run for my money. You get the KFC, Jess.
We just appreciate you playing.
Do you guys want to do the last one just for fun?
Yeah, let's do the last one for fun.
Okay, so the other person up there, apart from Kendrick,
was Mary J. Blige,
and she was one of only two artists using her real name,
Mary J. Blige.
Okay.
The J is what I want,
so give me a famous person who uses the name Jane. Oh.
Jane Austen?
Oh, good. Good from you, Jess.
I can only find two Janes.
Jane Austen and Jane Fonda.
I don't read books.
Oh, Jane Fonda.
I don't read books. Jane Austen is
a good one, right? At least I know that.
Well done, Jess. We're going to get you
some KFC. Nice work, mate.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Brianne Clint.
I came across this study which analysed the results of a vocab test done by a university
which tested the number of words people knew based on gender.
Oh, yeah.
Sounds quite sexist.
Does it?
But they did get 220,000 people to take part in this online vocabulary test.
And results from it have revealed two lists.
Okay.
One list which they believe only females will know most of the words.
Okay.
And then a list where they think only males will know most of the words.
Fascinating.
So I love to test these theories, these boundaries.
So what I've done, I've given the article to Anastasia.
I have not looked at the list.
So we've got, to be honest, Anastasia has told me,
because she went through all the words.
Yeah.
She has said most of the words she thinks neither of us would know.
Okay, good.
So what have you done?
So I've just picked out three from each list.
I know the girls' ones, and I think Bray will get them,
but the men's ones I have.
Have you given me the hard ones?
You've got the easy ones. No, no, no.
The easy girl ones. I'm a woman
Oh, am I answering the girl ones?
Or should we do it the other way around? No, no, no.
We'll do it the way that, so you
will be answering the ones that men
only know. Okay. And Clint will be answering
the men's ones. Got it, got it, got it.
But I tested the theory and the men's
questions I don't know. Give Brie a men's word, see if she knows it.
All right.
Oh, give me a man's word.
Lads, lads, lads, lads.
Sorry, I've got to get in there.
So this is a word that they believe more men know than women?
Yeah.
Does Brie know it?
Milliamp.
Milliamp?
Well, an amp is related to sound, like a music amp.
Yeah.
I'm going to say it's something relating to sound.
Yes, it's one thousandth of an amp.
Pretty good.
I think it's power.
I think I get that.
I like that.
I have no idea what it means.
Look at Click coming into mansplain it for me.
I think the amp's a power.
Huh?
I think it's power.
Yeah, but it's based on sound.
Power sound.
Yeah, good.
I said sound.
Yeah.
I got it right.
Stop trying to take my point.
Well done, girl.
All right.
The next one, a chick sum.
A what?
A chick sum.
A check sum?
Chick sum.
Never heard of that word before in my life.
It's a small-sized block of data derived from another block of digital data.
Yeah, it's a small block-sized data.
No, you should ask Clint first.
Do you know what that is?
He didn't know.
A small block of data.
You didn't know that either.
Right.
The next one.
Strafe.
A strafe.
I thought you knew this.
A strafe.
A strafe.
A strafe.
A strafe.
A strafe.
Can you use it in a sentence?
Staph infection.
No.
Do you know what it is?
Strath is, no.
You don't mean struth, do you?
And that's why you were giving it to? Strath is, no. You don't mean struth, do you? And that's why you were giving it to Australia.
Australia is minus three.
Strathing is the act of moving sideways in a video game.
Oh, nah, never heard that.
I thought that was strafe.
All right, and with that...
Don't lie, you didn't know what it was.
No, I knew what strafing was, but okay, that's sweet.
All right, now I'm going to test the woman's words for you, Clint.
Vulva.
Oh, no.
Type of car.
Frisier.
Frisier?
Yeah.
That's a type of horse.
I know what it is.
What is it?
Is it a flower?
Yes.
Because it's also, it's pink.
It's like a colour as well.
Frisier.
That's fuchsia.
Was I thinking of, oh, you almost had it.
Oh, I said it's a flower.
Was I thinking of Frisian, the horse.
All right.
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Frisian, the horse. Yeah, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Frisian, the horse.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The next one, peplum.
Whoa.
Peplum.
Peplum.
Can I get it in a sentence, please?
Oh, that would be a giveaway.
No, I didn't get that.
It would be a giveaway.
You're welcome to ask for it.
No, well, it's too late now.
I like...
No, no, don't give it to him.
Well, I don't know it.
Do you know it, Brie?
A peplum.
Yeah.
Put it in a... She doesn't know it either. Put it in a Brie? A peplum. Yeah. She doesn't know it either.
Put it in a sentence.
I like your peplum top.
Oh, it's a colour.
No.
It's a type of material.
No, it's a draping that comes around a bodice.
Do you remember those hideous tops that would have the frill down the bottom?
Oh, I do, yeah.
Like 2010s vibes?
A peplum.
Never heard of it.
Okay, no peplum.
A pleat.
I've heard of a pleat.
All right, and with that, we'll move on to the last one.
I've heard of a halter neck.
Off the shoulder.
All right.
Last one.
Taffeta.
A taffeta.
Catheta.
No.
Taffeta.
Taffeta.
Taffeta.
Taffeta.
Do you know this one?
A taffeta.
Taffeta.
Oh, is it like a catheta?
No.
Is it a female catheta?
Is it a lady's catheter?
It's a type of fabric.
I think what we have learnt here this afternoon is you and I, Clint.
You guys know nothing.
We know literally anything.
Bree and Clint.
This is a really nice story where the guy in this story is being hailed the hero.
Okay.
People are saying, what a guy.
Man of the year.
Wow, okay.
People are loving him.
A woman by the name of Alyssa Hodges was quite pregnant
when she decided to get on Tinder.
I believe she was seven or eight months pregnant.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Around that.
Anyway, she met a guy called Max.
And by the fourth date, something had happened.
So bear in mind they'd only met each other three times previous to this.
Yeah.
And she's seven months pregnant.
Seven or eight.
Do you reckon she had to tell him she was pregnant?
She did.
She clarified on her Tinder bio that she was and how many months
she was. Take a listen to Alyssa explaining what happened on hers and Max's fourth date.
So Max and I had been together for eight weeks before he came to my birth. And out of those
eight weeks, he'd probably only gone on three or four dates with me. So the fourth date was him
coming to my labor and birth and delivery, like what? And then when we came back and we were able to take Ollie home,
that's when he took the week off to help us.
Or more so help me in my transition of becoming a new mum.
But he's still stuck around, so that's what he means.
Wow.
That's a lot.
I mean, a lot for a fourth date.
You can hear the snuffly newborn in the background of that clip.
The baby's literally like, yo, yo.
That wasn't Max.
That wasn't Max, her partner.
That was obviously the newborn baby.
Yo, I'm fresh out the womb here.
Can you put the phone down?
Yeah, and so he went along.
So they were meant to have, I read into it,
they were meant to have their fourth date.
She was meant to pick him up from the airport
and they were meant to go on their fourth date.
But during his flight, she went into labour
and she's obviously texting him. They this saying, I'm not going to
be able to pick you up. I'm off to the hospital. And so he has
Oh, and he volunteered to go. And he volunteered to go. I assume that she went into
labour during the date. No. At which point I'm like, yeah, you have to go. That's why people
are saying he's a hero. So he then caught a cab to his house, got
changed and then went to the hospital and was with her
because she had no one else there with her.
Do we know if he has children already?
Like was this his first experience at a birth?
I don't believe he has children.
They're both quite young.
Wow, what an introduction.
So anyway, this happened I think a little while ago,
last year sometime.
They're still together and they're raising the baby, Ollie, together.
That's sweet.
And they're moving in together.
That's a lovely outcome.
Isn't that cute?
I wouldn't say it's the norm, their outcome, but it is a nice outcome.
You really, like the fourth date, you're still really kind of getting to know someone, aren't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And if you're going to someone's labour, you're really getting to know someone quickly. You're really getting to know someone, aren't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you're going to someone's labour, you're really getting to know someone quickly.
You're really getting to know them.
Like it really speeds up that process.
But what a guy.
He sounds lovely.
He's committed.
And she seems lovely too.
He's clearly in it for the long haul.
Yeah.
I'm happy for them.
I hope it works out.
That's really, that's a nice Tinder story for you this afternoon.
I thought we could ask this afternoon.
Did you give birth on a Tinder date?
No, I don't believe we'll get any calls.
Do you have any early dating stories that are a bit crazy?
Right, okay.
It doesn't have to be this, but what happened early in the dating piece?
I guess it's something that really makes or breaks you, right?
Early in the relationship.
You guys are still figuring each other out and then something happens
and you're like, whoa.
It doesn't have to be like a feel-good story.
It can be something that was a red flag that happened.
Oh, okay.
Like in early dates, it can be a really nice story.
It can be anything.
I just want to know in those first
however many months where you're
floating on air.
You're either floating on air or
it's quite awkward in the beginning
and you're getting through that awkward
stage.
You guys don't have a solid foundation
yet. It either works or it doesn't.
I'll 800 dial ZM
or you can text us on 9696.
Crazy early dating stories.
We want to hear from you this afternoon.
We're asking you for your crazy early dating stories this afternoon
after a woman in Brisbane went onto Tinder.
She was seven months pregnant.
She disclosed that on Tinder, but everyone knew that.
She ended up dating a guy. Went on to Tinder. She was seven months pregnant. She disclosed that on Tinder, but everyone knew that.
She ended up dating a guy.
And then on the fourth date, he came to the birthing suite where she gave birth to the baby.
And now they're together.
They're moving in together.
That was the fourth date.
That was the fourth date.
It's a lot to sign up to.
Obviously, it's a lot for her.
She's having the birth.
But it's a lot for this guy to be a part of that early in the relationship.
What a great guy.
I imagine her
in that moment going, you
bastard, you did this to me.
And he's like, no, I didn't. That was some other guy.
That wasn't me. I've only known you for a couple of weeks.
I'm just here to help.
We're asking you guys, what's your crazy
early date stories?
I was about to say Anton, but no.
Anon. Anonymous. Anonymous
has called up. Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
Tell us, what's your crazy early dating story?
So similar to the other story,
I met my partner when I was six months pregnant
and we lived in different cities.
So we had only met literally a couple of times beforehand
and I went into labour a week early
and he flew down to where I lived
the day after I'd given birth.
And two months later, I ended up moving up to where he lived
and it's been three years now and we're still together.
Wow.
What a great guy.
It's a love story.
I thought you were about to say he flew down and he hand-delivered that baby himself.
No, he came the next day, day unfortunately because she just came really quickly. But yeah, he's an amazing father
and she calls him dad and it's just, yeah, it's great. That's lovely
Anonymous. Have you guys had a child of your own yet? No, not
yet, no. Yeah, right. Well, you know he'll be there. That's good stuff. Yeah, exactly.
Oh, that's really cute.
He's not going to get scared off now, is he?
No, no.
I actually, I thought about this.
I did something on my Instagram last week where I asked people for crazy dating stories.
Do you want to hear some of them?
Yeah.
There's some wild ones.
Someone wrote, this was the first date.
He ate a whole rotisserie chicken out of the bag with his hands.
He then tried to kiss me.
Well, that's different to attending the birth, isn't it?
Yeah, very different.
Do you want to hear a few more?
Yeah.
Someone said it was the second or third date
and he got down on one knee to fix a wobbly table,
but the whole restaurant thought he was proposing.
Oh, awkward. Awkward.
That is the most
awkward story. So long as you
didn't think he was getting down there to propose,
I think it's okay.
Yeah, I think she would have known. But imagine if
he'd got down to the table. Yeah, but is it okay?
The whole restaurant is clapping.
Oh my God, yes. And he's like,
I'm literally just fixing the table.
Well, she obviously knew.
One more.
Someone else said he was desperate to go to the toilet, so he pulled the car over and took a poo behind a trailer.
Oh, a number two.
Yeah, this is what it says.
He then proceeded to take his shirt off.
No, he didn't wipe with the shirt.
And used it as toilet paper.
He then chucked his shirt in the back seat and asked if I still wanted to go on the date.
Oh, my God.
In those situations, I hope that person has enough like...
I hope it was a black shirt.
No, I hope the person's got enough self-esteem to go, no, thank you.
Take me home.
Of course she would have.
Well, you don't know.
Some people will be like...
The guy's got no shirt on. He's got a shitty shirt in the back seat of. Well, you don't know. The guy's got no shirt on.
He's got a shitty shirt
in the back seat of his car. You don't know.
What do you think she's going to do?
Oh, you're so desirable. You know what
I mean. Look at your rig. Oh, hang
me out to dinner. Get me some chicken nuggets.
Devin's here. Hi, Devin. Hi, Devin.
Hi, guys. How you doing? Good, thank you.
Tell us, what's your crazy early
dating story?
This actually happened last night.
Oh, okay.
Last night, okay.
So I met somebody on Tinder.
Amazing woman.
Absolutely spectacular.
Yeah.
Been on two dates, and I thought I'll treat her to something nice. I'll cook her a nice dinner, dessert, everything else at my house.
Yeah.
Proceeded with that, and I'm type 1 diabetic,
and I ended up having a hypoglycemic attack after that.
Whoa!
No, Devin!
Okay, let us know what that means.
Does that mean you have to go to hospital?
I got an ambulance called over.
Yeah.
I had to have a glucogen pen put into me.
Girls don't bring me around.
And I carted off to hospital in an ambulance while she stayed at my house with her daughter.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, Devin. And then she picked me up this morning.
Yeah.
And took me back home again.
And how was she, Devin?
Because this is a great way of knowing if she's the one.
How was she in that situation?
She was absolutely amazing.
I'm actually really, really lucky that we found each other on Tinder,
to be honest.
I'll say.
Oh, Devin, you sound real sweet.
That's so nice.
You okay now?
Are you all recovered?
Not 100%.
It's going to take me a couple of days to get back.
Yeah, full on, man.
Devin, maybe your heart was just so, like,
overwhelmed with how much love you were feeling.
Yeah, is that how it works?
Sounds like it.
Yeah.
And you fainted and you were like, oh, my God, I'm so in love.
Well, if I fainted in love, yes, but not the type of faint, no.
Yeah, right.
There you go.
The love one would have been better.
There you go.
Crazy early date stories.
Maybe one will happen to you this weekend if you keep tindering hard enough.
Hopefully not the shirt off, poo, wipe your bum with.
Yeah, that's grim.
Bree and Clint.
Look, I came across this study, which I found quite interesting,
and I think other people will as well,
where researchers from the University of Cambridge.
Oh, yep.
So very prestigious.
Just south of Hamilton.
Yes.
Incorporating 350,000 people from 50 different countries.
This is a massive study.
Yeah.
Like that is huge.
Apparently, they were studying whether or not someone's music tastes had anything to do or there was parallels with their personality
based on what music they like.
Surely.
I think surely it does.
Anyway, they did find that, and I mean, they did it across 50 different countries
and they found that there was quite a few parallels.
Okay.
And I thought we could cover off some of them this afternoon.
The first one, and we've got some clips, and it's called,
I think Producer Ben's just showing you where it is because I wanted
to give the vibe like when we're talking about the music taste.
So the first one was jazz music or smooth tunes.
People who prefer that type of music had much more of a sophisticated
and open personality.
Yeah, I'd say that.
Yeah.
Which, I mean, that makes sense.
That's why I love jazz music.
Who's your favourite jazz artist?
Jazzy Jeff.
I rest my case.
All right, moving on.
Pop singers such as Ed Sheeran.
Proved to be popular among those who are more outgoing and loud.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Yeah.
That's why you love Ed Sheeran.
I love some Ed Sheerzy.
Yep.
Let's move on to people who enjoyed artists like Bob Marley,
Marvin Gaye or Nora Jones,
were more like more mellow music, I guess you'd call it.
Okay.
I was like, what genre is that?
But sure, okay.
It's like more mellow, kind of vibey.
Yeah.
Was suggested to have personalities that are more sympathetic
as well as being team players and more agreeable.
Really?
Yeah.
Right, I thought they'd just go chill, just chill people.
But yeah.
Well, I guess, yeah, team players, agreeable, that is kind of that vibe.
Right, they're more relaxed in their opinions.
Sympathetic, like, you know, that kind of fits.
What about artists like Beyonce or Justin Bieber,
along with electronic rap and pop music,
were found to be more extroverted.
Jeez, that's a broad category.
It's very broad, hey.
To put Bieber in the same category as Beyonce
and then just throw hip-hop and electronic music in there.
Well, I didn't go through the study with a fine-toothed car.
No, I know, but...
I think this is just a generalisation.
What about country music?
People who love country music.
There is a lot.
Most popular genre of music in the world, I'd argue.
Yeah.
Was found to be liked by people who are organised,
like structure, and are conscientious.
Okay.
And like the taste of straw. It's like hanging a little bit out the side of conscientious. Okay. And like the taste of straw.
It's like hanging a little bit out the side of their mouth.
Yeah.
Like driving pickup trucks.
I'm generalizing, obviously.
And love plaid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Last one, the correlations between what type of music people like
and their personality.
Music like, for example, Green Day.
I call this punk rock.
Rock, yeah.
Were analysed as quite anxious, irrational and anger suppressing individuals.
Oh, really?
That's what this study said, yeah.
Interesting.
I mean, I kind of get it, but the anxious bit, I find that.
Yeah, well, I mean, I guess that's where that term emo comes from.
You know what I mean?
And we all went through, like I say, I love Green Day's music.
We all went through that kind of thing.
I was definitely a bit angry when I was listening to Green Day.
Yeah, absolutely.
And there you go.
That's what they found from the study.
Fascinating.
Quite interesting, eh?
Bree and Clint. And there you go. That's what they found from the study. Fascinating. Quite interesting, eh? Look, if you like me and you really dislike going to the gym,
this might be for you.
A different way to exercise.
Have you ever heard of sexercise?
I heard that it's all BS.
I heard that the physical, Like the fitness gains to be had
Negligible
I'm on board
Maybe it's the way I'm doing it
Yeah maybe
But that's what we're here to debunk this afternoon
I came across this website
This is good stuff
It's from a company called From Mars
And you can find this website I'm talking about at frommars.com,
not sponsored, but this is very cool.
So what they've created is a calorie calculator
based on indoor gardening positions.
Right.
So what they've done is they've put all these different positions
that you can type in.
You can enter a time, how many minutes, What they've done is they've put all these different positions that you can type in.
You can enter a time, how many minutes.
Right.
And then it will calculate how many calories you burn.
You know what's interesting about that is I reckon if they got men to put in the minutes and women to put in the minutes, they'd have different answers.
Well, that's the thing.
So like for you, I'd say this one, four minutes.
Calculate.
Oh, it doesn't burn many.
Are we having a chat afterwards before I go to sleep?
Okay, so let's give it a whirl.
So I'll give you the different positions,
and you tell me which one we should calculate.
Go on then.
Okay, the butter churner?
No.
Which I don't.
Let's just do you.
Just do the garden variety stuff
we know. The stuff we know? Yeah.
Okay. The buzzard churna.
The kneeling wheelbarrow? No, not a kneeling
wheelbarrow. Cowgirl.
Okay, yep. Okay, let's go cowgirl.
Yeehaw.
Alright, how many minutes?
Let's be generous, so let's say 12
for you. Yeah, that's
a lot, yep. 12? Yep. Now let's go No, we've got to 12 for you. Yeah, that's a lot, yeah. 12?
Yeah.
No, we've got to go 20.
20?
Of that one?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, go on then, yeah.
20 minutes for cowgirl.
How many calories do you think?
I went to the gym the other day for an hour, and I burnt 300 calories.
So in 20 minutes, I would say that one does 100 calories.
26 calories
Is that it?
You've got to work harder
Jeez, it's not even a Snickers bar
Okay, so that's I think one of the lesser ones
Because one of the more intense positions is more
So I'm going to go for one that involves
We all know this one
People who own a dog.
Oh, right.
Yeah, gotcha.
That type of one.
So let's go 20 minutes of that.
Yeah.
Calculate.
121 calories for 20 minutes.
That one's like doing a plank.
Hey-o!
There's a core workout going on there.
How good is that?
That's not bad.
20 minutes.
20 minutes, 121 calories.
Yeah.
That's good, yeah.
For both or for who? Because, I mean, I feel like there's different roles. 20 minutes. 20 minutes, 121 calories. Yeah. That's good, yeah. For both or for who?
Because, I mean, I feel like there's different roles.
Yeah, definitely.
You know?
I think in every one, someone's doing slightly more work than the other person.
Okay.
Do you want to know any more about the Lotus?
Right, yeah.
Can we have a bog standard, just a regular old missionary?
Missionary?
Yeah. They don't have it.
It's not on there.
I think it's too standard.
Too basic.
They don't have my favourite.
It's out.
What's the one that's the closest?
Oh, there's not even one that's close.
There's standing.
Okay, go and do a standing.
Spooning.
Spooning, do a spooning.
Okay, spooning.
Alright, 20 minutes.
It'll be nothing
because you're lying down.
67.
Oh, yeah. Okay Okay let's do one more
Standing
Because I think this is
One of the top ones
Just anyone playing at home
If you want to burn the calories
And this is good
If you use a standing desk
At work
You can
I feel like standing
Is quite hard work
For both parties
Yeah
132 calories
Oh nowhere near the
The 20 minutes
Yeah nowhere near the most The 20 minutes. Yeah, nowhere near the most.
Let's do one more.
Two numbers.
Oh, yep.
Yep.
You know the numbers we're talking about.
Dinner for two.
And let's say...
I mean, let's go a standard 30 minutes.
Only 78 calories.
Yeah, it's too much lying down.
You had a standing one, though.
You're taking it all down.
No, what?
I can't say it.
Turn my mic off and I'll tell you the truth.
Yeah, you can't broadcast that.
All right, there you go.
FromMars.com if you want to work out those for yourself.
