The ZM Podcast Network Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast, the final Bree and Clint podcast with Bree and Clint on it for a while. Which one of us is disappearing? You'll find out tomorrow. That was so horrible. For a while, I said for a while. That was such clickbait, but you left it right to the end. For a while. I said for a while. It was such clickbait, but you left it right to the end. Clickbait. Clickbait.

No, I'm going away for a little while. Won't be long. Just got TV to shoot, baby. Got stuff to do. But, yeah, I'm going to miss everyone. But I'm not going to be gone for that long, so it'll be all good. You'll be back. I'll be back.

Oh yeah And I can't find her anywhere On Instagram to thank her So I just thought I'd thank her here Okay hopefully she listens Do we know it's a she? Yes We know it's okay

So Oh this one Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Man you got a couple of gifts today. I did, didn't I? I was very lucky. It's not even my birthday.

I can't remember when it was, but I swear we talked about an Elvis limited edition or 20th anniversary edition book or some sort of Elvis book. And I think I said on the show my mum would fizz for that. And you said something like you should get it for her birthday or you should get it for Christmas. And I received this gift from, and I can only see this because it's on the tiny tag, Melanie Dudek from Morrinsville.

Oh, yeah. And she sent me the Elvis Presley 20th Anniversary Edition book. She's not on our podcast group either. Yeah, I can't find her anywhere. This thing's vintage. Yeah, so from what I can see is that it's a book that she's obviously had in her house and she's owned. It's got old book smell.

Yeah, which I love old book smell. And she sent it, and obviously I'm assuming it's not for me, it's for my mum. Do you reckon? Yeah. My mum will fizz at the bunghole for that. It's got the original retail price, £25.99 Great British Pounds.

I wonder how old's the book. I'm trying to find the printing information on it, but I can't find anything. That'd be quite interesting. Because it looks fairly old, but like in good condition. Yeah, it's a lovely gift. That'd be my mum's.

Girl, we're going to start manifesting more things, eh? Start saying more things that we like so people send them to us. Oh my God, if anyone's listening, I want the clinker bunny rabbits that they're releasing in Australia. Oh yeah. I was saying to Bree, you can get clinker lollies. Have you had clinker lollies in New Zealand? I swear I've had clinkers.

I love clinkers. Yeah, chocolate covered candy thingies. They're so good. And you play a game where you have to guess the colour clinker you have before you bite into it. Yeah, they're pink and green inside. They've just done the new chocolate, the dairy milk, with it in it. Oh, out of the crossover blocks.

Yeah, I saw that at the supermarket the other day. I was wondering what it was. Have they got that here? Have they? I saw that at the supermarket. It they got that here? Have they? I saw that in the supermarket. It's a new one. I'm so going to get that. You need to take that to your thingy that you're going to do.

Yeah. I'll definitely take that with me. Are you doing a shop before you go? Yeah, I think so. What's your go-to thing that you're going to buy? You know what I took last time? Alcohol, hopefully. That'd be me.

I'd take like four bottles of gin. Don't have time to drink. Literally. What about when you're sitting down? Maybe one Yeah I might have one You could put some in your water bottle My roomie last time

Bought all the alcohol And I felt bad So maybe I should bring this time Just take a couple of bottles Just in case You don't have to drink them Maybe just in case Are you going to bring some treats

For Big Brother? Yeah Maybe Big Brother? I don't know what she's talking doing oh because you're going to film big brother oh yeah yeah you know how big brother and i talk um and then a ring for your future last time the only thing i pretty much took and i would eat if i was like had to was easy mac oh that microwave macaroni and cheese easy mac a Easy Mac, eh? Nah, you've got to opt for two-minute noodles over Easy Mac.

Was there anyone's after-school snack? I love Easy Mac. I don't know what it is. I'm a massive mac and cheese fan, like any type of mac and cheese. It's orange, eh? It's not even yellow. It's like, yeah, orange. But then I also, my favourite is like the Continental mac and cheese.

Oh. I love their mac and cheese. The Continental. I love cup of soup. I think cup of soup is underrated. The Continental one feels so much more bougie than the Alfredo. Which is the same. Mac and cheese Oh I love their mac and cheese Love cup of soup I think cup of soup Is underrated The continental one Feels so much more bougie Than the

Alfredo Which is the same It's pretty much the same But I love all of those Sour cream Macaroni Alfredo Yeah that's got Oh yeah that's right

That was like me on the weekends When mum wasn't home Yeah I got into a bad Habit of Powdered mashed potatoes Oh no I've never had that

Same thing. They're made by the same people that make the instant pasta stuff. Really? It's like when you're tramping, right? We gave it away at a radio station that I was working at, and I was like, oh, this would be good for the flat, because I got powdered mashed potatoes. Do yourself a favour and never buy powdered mashed potatoes,

especially because all you need to make mashed potatoes is like two potatoes and a bit of milk and some butter. You're worth it. You're worth the extra one dollar. And like actual mashed potatoes is so good. It's water, isn't it? Powdered mashed potatoes. Depends how you make them. I had it tramping. It was awful.

On that movie. Do you take it tramping with you? I was just going to say, if you do like powdered, I've got a very good one I use. Oh, no, don't. He's just got out of this addiction. It's phenomenal. But is it phenomenal when you're not in the bush? No.

You know what? I'll bring you some. Okay. Have you ever had powdered eggs? Do you remember in that movie, I Am Legend? Oh, no. We had powdered eggs. No.

How do they do it? Is canned chicken still a thing as well? Yes. Chop, chop chicken. Is that still a thing? Yeah, chopped chopped chicken still around. Not that I've had it, but. Why does that repulse me so much?

Oh, I think it repulses everyone. Because it's chicken. But then why is, I was thinking about this the other day. Have you ever thought about this? You know what's so normalised and so normal to me is tuna. Yeah. Which is fish in a can. Yeah. Which when you think about it,

sounds disgusting. You think about it, is there any other, maybe salmon? Maybe. But it's not like tuna. Tuna is the only fish that they put in the can. Sardines? Yeah, but they come whole, so that's different. It may be anchovies, but nothing like tuna.

Like, where's the barramundi in a can? That's what you're saying. Where's all the other, I mean, canned fish? Where's the can of snapper? Maybe tuna's easier to do it. And like Jessica Simpson said, chicken is the fish of the sea. No, fish is the chicken of the sea. No. Fish is the chicken of the sea. Didn't she say she didn't know that buffaloes

had wings? That's fantastic. Yeah. The whole family is having a good moment. Okay, so we'll put your shopping list together. Gin, clinkers, chicken in a can, fish in a can,

powdered mashed potatoes, powdered mashed potato um you know what i've always wanted to try can we do this when we get kombucha you love kombucha oh god i hate kombucha i love like stop trying to pass off that horrible tasting shit as something that's healthy and you serve it up to people and I bet they're all sitting up in their bloody houses and they're laughing about it. They're like, get these people. We told them this disgusting tasting shit is healthy and they're just gobbling it up. Eating their powdered mashed potatoes, laughing at us.

You know what I'd love to do when I get back? We should all, have you guys ever seen on TikTok those, the people like people in the army and they show the meals that they get and they eat them on camera? The rations Yeah, but it's like, like emergency food Yeah, like kind of and there's like ones where it's like got a thing in it so you

press it and heats it up, heats up the bag and all that type of stuff When Ben and I worked with on their other show with Cara I remember she had that doomsday supply that she bought it? Oh, yeah. And they had a whole bunch of those. She's got like a full doomsday supply under her house.

Why? Is she a doomsdayer? Her partner is a doomsday prepper. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's so interesting. Got all the things. Like is there a full bunker under their house?

Well, there's all the things they would need. Right, canned food and water. That's right. It was all in the green packaging. Oh, there's all the things they would need. Right, canned food and water. That's right, it was all in the green packaging. Oh my god. Yeah, you're ready to go for full zombie apocalypse. I know where I'm going. Oh my god. What would you do? I've got a plan for a zombie apocalypse.

Die. Die? Yeah, I'd die. You're like, get it over with. Yeah, get it over with. I've seen those movies. I'd be going straight to where I knew there was a boat that I could hotwire. You could hotwire a boat? Maybe. I don't know.

Maybe there's keys. Someone would be leaving a key in a boat or something. Yeah, that's true. I'd be getting to a boat and I'd be going across to Waiheke Island and I'd be hopefully, I'd kill all the zombies that are on that island and then I'd be able to live there. And then you could just do a winery tour. Yeah, do a winery tour.

No, and then I'd be able to live on the island peacefully. Everyone on the mainland is having their brains munched. And I'm just living it up. And you're having a cheese board. Zombies can't swim. Everyone knows that. There's lots of shit zombies can't do. No, but they can go on another boat.

Zombies have sex? No. No. No. They just munch brain. Yeah. Well, we'll work on that. We'll have some kind of kit ready for when you get back.

Have a great trip. Remind me. Thank you, guys. Feel free to call me for any podcast intros. I think you called me a couple of times. Oh, yeah, yeah. We'll call you. Whether you have a reception or not is another thing.

Well, Clint might not be here, but there will be a special guest, producer Ben, filling in, and they'll do an amazing job. I'll miss you guys. Will you? I will. I actually how many times last time

The Tradies are on the comeback with six wins for the year, but the Lady's still out in front with ten. Where's our lady at? She's from the Hawke's Bay. She is 28, and she does pole dancing for exercise. Welcome to the show, Casey. G'day, Casey. Hello, mate.

Question for you I've always wanted to know. Do you get lots of bruises? I do, yeah. Yeah, I thought so. What's your thigh grip strength like? I imagine it has to be pretty good on a pole. It's pretty good. It's just lots of bruises like Bree said. Could you crush a watermelon between those things? Nah, not

that good though. Right, okay. Have you tested it? Yeah. Yeah, I wish. Watermelon's so expensive, eh? You don't want to waste it. I can't waste a good watermelon. I love watermelon. Okay, let's meet your opposition today. Our tradie is from Christchurch. He's 21 and he won an episode

of Tradie vs Lady last year. Welcome back, the champ. It's Liam. G'day, Liam. Good to be back. Well, obviously you won money last time you were here. Did you win by a lot, Liam, or was it close? I think that one, it was like a tiebreaker at the end.

Okay, so it was close. Okay, well, let's put you to the test again. Liam, your buzzer is tradie. Casey, your buzzer is lady. First to three points will win $50 cash thanks to KFC. Good luck. All right, guys, here we go. Question number one.

Cleopatra was the queen of which country? Ladies. Casey. Greece. No. Liam. Egypt. Egypt is correct.

Oh, no. Question number two, one to the tradies. What does IT, as in the people who fix your computer, stand for? Lady. Yes, Casey. No, don't worry, it's gone. No, I think you were on the right track. Go for it.

You might have been. I've got internet technician. Yeah, that's not bad. Liam? Information technician. Information technology was the answer we were looking for. Both close. Question number three, still one to the tradies.

Something we use every single day. Alexander Graham Bell invented the what? Our tradie. Yes, Liam. The telephone. That is correct. He did invent the telephone. You're two in front.

Casey, you need this one to stop him here. Question number four. Dunlop, Goodyear and Bridgestone are all brands of what? Yes, Liam. Twice. He's 21 and he's on fire. Two wins for tradie versus Lady for Liam. Bag to bag, baby.

Yeah, thank you, Dad. Well done, Liam. Congratulations. Jeez, he's basically on the payroll now. I know. He's killing it. $100 in title, 50 more bucks cash coming to you thanks to KFC. That's Tradie versus Lady.

Free and Clint. I don't know what's in the water at the moment. Flu ride. Yeah, well, that. But there's also something in the water in parents' drinks because they're naming their children very unusual names. Are they? Have you seen this trend that's happening?

No. So, of course, first there was very famous couple Kylie Jenner and Travis Barker had their second child. Travis Barker? Travis. Oh, sorry. That's the other one. That's the other one.

That's her sister, Travis Scott. I reckon that happens to Kris Jenner too. I bet. She's like, oh, God, not another Travis. One of the Travises. What did they call the kid? Because they've got Stormy. Yeah, they've got Stormy.

Do you know what they're named? Windy. No. Blustery. No. Sunny. Wolf. Oh, yeah, I like the name Wolf.

Yeah, they named their second child Wolf, which I mean quite unusual. Do you reckon? Yes. Yeah, okay, yeah, Wolf, yeah. Do you know any Wolves? Yeah, I do know a Wolf. I guess that's why it's normal for me because I know a couple of Wolves. Is it a person?

Yeah. Just checking. No, a couple of kids called Wolf. Yeah, okay, go on. So they've named their child Wolf and then her arch nemesis, Tammy Hembrough, which is the Aussie influencer that got wheeled out of her party that time. Oh, yeah. Do you remember that?

Vaguely. It was like her 21st birthday. Anyway, she's also named her kid Wolf. Oh, awkward. Yeah, very awkward. Yeah, but I mean, they're not friends. They're not going to see each other. Yeah, not anymore.

And then I saw this article about this YouTuber. Her name's Jasmine Chiswell. Anyway, her and her husband document their whole lives on YouTube and they've just had their first baby and they've named their kid Midnight. Midnight. Now, that is a weird name. Midnight. Yeah.

I'm hoping. I really can't wait to see when they have their second baby. You know what they're going to call it? What? Midday. Well, that would be the obvious one, wouldn't it? Would be good. The issue with calling your kid midnight is setting a bedtime. How are you supposed to tell a kid who you named midnight

that they need to go to bed at 8 o'clock? I'm going to call my kid 6.30. Exactly right. I'm going to call my kid. I mean, here's a tip for you. 6.30 p.m. If you're going to name it after a time, name it as early as possible. Because when they go to bed, oh, my God.

3 p.m. As an adult, that's when your day starts. Yeah, that'd be great. When their day ends. Which maybe you're right. Maybe the name Wolf isn't an unusual name anymore. Not as unusual as midnight. I mean, I've never heard of Wolf or Midnight.

But I thought it'd be quite interesting this afternoon because, you know, when you're obviously growing up, you kind of figure out if you have a more unusual name. Yeah, and it's usually when you go to school. Eventually it clicks. And other kids hear your name. And they're like, what? What do you mean your name's Macintosh?

You know? Mac for short. Yeah, Mac. Mac Daddy. Mac. What's that short for? Mac Daddy. Macaroni.

I thought the people know when they have an unusual name. And I thought we could put it out there on 0800DIALZM to the people who know they've got an unusual name. Yeah, are you in the weird name club? Yeah, and you know it. And you know it. And you want to call and talk about it. It's your name.

You're fine to talk about it. It's your name. You either love it or maybe you really don't like it. And we want to hear from you this afternoon. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. Call us if you've got an unusual name. Bree and Clint. Look, a lot of unusual names are flying around at the moment.

Celebrities calling their kids unusual names. Not a new phenomenon either. Remember Apple? Yes, that was quite revolutionary, wasn't it? Apple the baby. Did you know Apple the baby is now Apple the woman? Fully grown adult, basically. How do you feel about it now that you've had time to mellow on that one?

The same because I have not met another apple. I've met a pair. Have you? No. I was like, is that good? Kylie Jenner and her Mr. Mister have named their baby Wolf and I've just seen a YouTuber, they've named their baby

Midnight. Yeah, Midnight's out there. So we want to ask you guys, do you have an unusual name and are you willing to share it with us this afternoon? James has called up. James is not that weird, but it's your middle name, James. What's your middle name? My parents thought it would be a good idea to make

my middle name Kale after the vegetables. No. Kale? Yeah. Because they like kale? No, I've never seen them eat kale at all, actually. Spelt K-A-L-E, like the vegetable? Yeah, like the vegetable.

Buzzy. I had a friend actually, James. This will make you feel better. I had a friend who dated a guy and his actual name was Kale. Oh my God, I've got to meet this guy. Kale's quite a divisive food.

You either love it or you hate it. It's your name. Do you like Kale now that it's your name? I actually do like Kale. Well, that's lucky. Well, that was very lucky. I'm a little weird to say I'm eating myself. Yeah, that's a very, very good point. But Bree likes Bree, so that still works.

I love a bit of Bree. This person, we don't know their name yet. Caller number two, hi. Hi. Hi. You're in the Weird Name Club. What's your name? My name's Shakaya.

Shakaya? Yeah. Kind of like Shakira, but Shakaya. Yeah, I get mistaken for that name quite a lot. Why is it, like, where does it come from? Does it have an origin or is it made up? It comes from the Native Americans and it means unique. Oh, yeah, okay.

I like it. Well, it is unique. Yeah, it is unique. Okay, thank you, Shakaya. Let's go to caller number three. Hi, caller number three. Hi. Hi.

Hi, my name's Odile. Odile? Odile. Yeah, very unusual. Like no deal? Like deal or no deal? Sort of, but it felt different. Where do you think that came from, Odile?

It's actually French, but I think my mother named it somewhere, something with Swan Lake, where it was Odette and Odile or something. Right. Okay. So she actually made it up. Do you like it or are you sick of having to explain to people?

Oh, she hates it. She hates it. Is it annoying having to correct people all the time? It is. And, you know, everybody says who, who, you know. So when someone reads your name out when they haven't met you and they see it written down, how do they say your name? I actually just call myself Adele.

Oh, you go by Adele. I like that. Yeah, that's much easier. It's a lot easier when people get used to it, you know. That's great. How do you spell it? A-D-L-E, and I go, yep, that's fine. We'll go with you then.

Thanks, Adele. Good to talk to you. See you, Adele. Thank you. One more person. Call number four. Hi. Hi. Hi. How are you? Good, thank you. See you, Adele. Thank you. One more person. Call number four. Hi. Hi.

Hi. How are you? Good, thank you. Do you have an unusual name? I do. I do. What is it? It's Melvie.

Melvie. Melvie. M-E-L-V-I-E. Where does that come from? It comes from my auntie. I was meant to be named after her. Now, this is some 50-odd years ago, so it was a really unusual name in that era.

But it was actually when they found out that when they went to look for a birth certificate, they found she was called something else. So I've had that name for loads of years. But people say to me it's a pretty name. It's a lovely name. I like it. It's cute. But as far as you know, it's made pretty name. It's a lovely name. I like it. Melvie's cute.

But as far as you know, it's made up. Is that right? It is. But I've heard of two others, one in America and one in Melbourne when I lived there. And she was a high society lady. You've heard of two in the whole world? Yeah, I have. Wow.

Imagine, Melvie, if you ended up with someone with the name Merlin. That'd be so interesting. Mel V and Merlin. What have they got to do with each other? I don't know. It just sounds good together. Oh, you just like the sound of them together. Yeah.

I didn't want to even get married to a Melville. So like Mel V Melville. That would be really hard to say. Not ideal. You'd have to set him free. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest, everybody. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.

I mean, we've been hurt before, so should we really believe this? The rumours are, Dean, that there is new Rihanna music on the way. Yes. Now, obviously, with the announcement of her first child with A$AP Rocky, we all thought, okay, just another reason to halt music. But she has said to a paparazzi just this weekend gone that she is working on new music. It is still coming. And, you know, the thing is with this, as she said, like in a previous interview with a paparazzi, is that she didn't want to just release anything. Right. This is really important. It had to be worth the wait and it will be worth the wait. It's going to be very different sound is what she has said,

but it's still happening even though she's a billionaire tycoon and obviously going to be a new mum as well. Music still coming? She's doing a Nursery Rhymes album. That's why it's so different. Well, funny you say that because literally, and this is so exciting, about an hour ago I saw on Twitter that she's dropped like a really tiny snippet of her new music and we have that right now.

Have we? We have it right now. Producer Ben has found it and we're going to play it for you right now. Dean, you haven't heard this either, have you? No. This is breaking news. It was literally an hour ago on Twitter. Take a listen.

I've been looking for a driver who is qualified So if you think that you're the one, step into my ride I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine. You know what? I mean, she's still got a... Very different sound. I will give her that. She didn't lie.

I reckon she's sounding better than ever. Look at Clint's face where he thought we really had new music. Screw you. Screw you. Screw you. Get that on iTunes right now, Clinton Roberts. Shut up and drive. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.

Brie and Clint. A man in Wellington has won lotto over the weekend and he believes that this lotto win, these are his words, Brie, not mine, his lotto win, these are his words, Bree, not mine, his lotto win was fate. It was fated. It was in his destiny to win lotto. That's what a lot of people believe.

They're like, I feel like it's my fate. It's my destiny. Yeah, it's my destiny too. I'm going to manifest a lotto win. So this really interested me. He wants to remain anonymous, but he said that he usually gets his lotto tickets on subscription,

like I do. So he signed up where they just automatically buy you a lotto ticket every week and they just debit your credit card. It just comes off. And then you have a lotto ticket and then you never miss the draw, right? Anyway, I can tell that I'm losing you. Last week, his subscription ran out. Oh, no.

And he got an email from Lotto that said, hey, your subscription's over, bro. Do you want to renew it? And he didn't waste any time. He goes, yes, I'll renew that. He clicked renew and did it. And then that weekend, that fricking weekend, he won $8.5

million. Tell me that's not fate. Oh, amazing. Tell me that's not fate. Oh, amazing. Tell me that's not fate. Tell me that wasn't the universe going, you are meant to win this weekend. I mean, amazing that he's had a subscription for however long and then he renewed it.

And then he won Lotto. And then he won. There's something. I know you don't see it the same way that I do. It's literally luck. But there's something in there. It is luck. That's the only thing. there's something in there. It is luck. That's the only thing.

Or destiny. That makes you win lotto. Or destiny. He might not have checked his emails that day. Imagine if he hadn't checked his emails. And then he wouldn't have got the reminder. And then he wouldn't have signed back up. And then he wouldn't have had the $8.5 million.

You know? Some things are just meant to happen. Amazing. You know? Some things are just meant to happen. Amazing. You've lost me. Have you renewed your subscription? Yeah, I renewed mine last week. Yeah, I thought you did.

Bree and Clint. Big news in Australia at the moment where they've announced a celebrity Gogglebox special feature episode. Oh, Gogglebox is back. Yeah.

I think it never left Australia. They've had Gogglebox is back. Yeah. I think it never left Australia. They've had Gogglebox where they get everyday people just sitting in their homes watching. It's such a weird idea, but people love it. It's such a weird concept, but people love it and they fall in love with the characters. But Foxtel and Channel 10 in Australia, yeah,

have announced a special one-off celebrity episode. Okay. So it's just one episode. Who are the celebs? There's people like the Irwins. Good. Which is a great get. Yeah.

I hope they wear khaki. I know. I think they will, as if they won't. As if they ever don't. And then quite a few Aussie celebrities that you probably wouldn't know. But two that you will know is, of course, Radio Royalty and his delightfully successful wife, Hamish Blake and Zoe Foster Blake. I love them. Yeah, so they've signed on to be a part of the episode.

So they're going to be on the episode. Yeah, but news out today that how much they're getting paid has been leaked, allegedly. Oh, yeah. Not much, surely. Well, it's one episode, you know. And they don't need the money. They're very wealthy. Yeah. So you just do it for fun, wouldn't you? Well, yeah. Not much, surely. Well, it's one episode, you know. And they don't need the money. They're very wealthy.

Yeah. So you'd just do it for fun, wouldn't you? Well, yeah. What do you think Hamish and his wife Zoe are getting paid to appear on one celebrity episode of Bubble Box? I would think probably nothing. I would think they, or just, I don't know.

So I'll say nothing or next to nothing. Okay. According to Woman's Day Australia, Hamish and Zoe have been paid a whopping $500,000. Half a million dollars to be on Gogglebox. Allegedly. That's what this says. Are you freaking serious? One episode.

Half a million dollars. That's what it says in this article. What are they going to do? Are they going to do it nude? I don't know. Like, what are they going to bring to the episode that makes it that valuable? Because I love them, but half a million dollars? They're going to air all their dirty laundry. Surely that's for all the celebrities that they've

got. The budget. Surely. Maybe. And then they've just, like, that's been leaked. If I'm Terry Irwin, I want more money. You know? Look, I had a feeling that maybe it might be like that or there might be some money to be had. So I've actually organised something for the show today.

Oh, no. Please welcome to the Brian Clint Show, maybe for the first time, the host of Gogglebox New Zealand, it's Sharon Casey. No way. Guys. I'm fangirling.

Have you? Yeah, come on. No way. Guys. I'm fangirling. I've been on the show before. Have you? Yeah, come on. Not enough. Not enough. Okay, well, here I am, guys. We want more Sharon Casey on our show. Is it still fair to refer to you as the host of Gogglebox New Zealand?

Well, I guess so. I mean, it got cancelled and no one else has been given the job at this stage. So it's still you. I tell you what, that whole time you were talking, I was like, oh, my God, is there a new version? And Brie or Clint are going to be narrating it, and this is how I find out I've been fired? Did you think I was ready to rub it in and go,

suck it, Sharon, we took your job? That would be so mean. No, we wouldn't do that. I would hope not, but, yeah, no, this is news to me. I've got you on to talk turkey. I thought, Seagas, you're the person who can make this happen. I wanted to negotiate a deal. Like, Brie and I are looking for more television opportunities.

We're available. And we could be the guests you need to get Gogglebox back on TV. Are you willing to chuck a bid out there for Brie and I to appear on Gogglebox New Zealand? We're bringing it back. For sure. Money? Do you want me to give you some money of how much I'd pay you to be on Gogglebox? Yeah. We're bringing it back. For sure. Money? Do you want me to give you some money of how

much I'd pay you to be on Gogglebox? Yeah, that's what I'd love. Yes, please. Okay, well, let's throw a $1,000 episode at Brie and judging by your Instagram, I reckon you'd do it for like 10 Nespresso pods. 10 Nespresso pods and some friskies.

Is it friskies? Excuse me. It's Fussy Cat. Thank you very much. Please don't, please don't, please don't conflict my sponsor. As I said,

I think we need to get Sharon Casey on this show more. I just remembered why we don't actually. I just remembered why we had a Sharon ban. Yeah, no,

it's, yeah, I reckon I could do that or Clint, or Clint, you'd do it for anything as long as I gave you some free product, wouldn't you?

Yeah, yeah. You remember me like a book, Shaz Dog? Yeah, if I, Clint, what if I offer you a flea collar each for each of your cats? That would be... And that's Sharon Casey, everybody, host of Gogglebox New Zealand. Thanks, Sharon. Love you. Okay.

I can see why she's the host. She's so funny. Bree and Clint. Look, I'm about to tell you how you can possibly travel for free and get free accommodation, maybe even live for free. Yes, please. If you're good enough at it. There are some people in this particular community

who don't want their secrets revealed. They don't want everybody to know about that. But Christopher Oala and Rachel Redfern have gone public with how they have managed to spend three different long weekends on Waiheke Island without having to pay a single cent for any of their accommodation. Camping.

No, not camping. Free camping. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. My tip is take a tent to Parliament That's my way to get Free accommodation at the moment Not great conditions But you know

Yeah If you love reggae music You'll be in for a great time No These people Are getting free accommodation Because They're professional house sitters

Oh yes I've got friends Who do this for a living. Have you? Yeah. One friend of mine house sat around Australia for a year. Isn't that amazing? A whole year. So you said they do it for a living.

Do they get paid to do it? Well, when I say did it for a living, I mean, like, she does freelance graphic design. So she can do it anywhere. Which she does part- like, she does freelance graphic design. So she can do it anywhere. Which she does part-time, which she can do anywhere. Yeah. But then she would, what I meant was she would do it full-time. Oh, I see.

So she actually didn't have a home. Yeah. Well, if you're good at it, what a fun way to see different parts of the country. These people here, Andrew and Christopher, have travelled across New Zealand, the US, the UK and Mexico all by caring for strangers' homes. And so crazy, none of the strangers ever knew about it. Just wild. Yeah, they're squatters. But wouldn't it be a fun way to do it?

It'd be much nicer to stay in a home than it would be to stay in, you know, backpackers and things like that as you went around the world. Plus it's free. I know, how good. When we were renovating our house a couple of years ago and we had to move out, I was like, oh, it'd be great to go house sitting. And so I put it out there on Facebook. I remember this and it was such an epic fail. It was so hard to find anywhere.

We ended up living in a campground because it's not that easy, but they've revealed that there's a Facebook page that is like the Like a secret underground house sitter page. Pretty much. It's a private Facebook page. It's strictly managed but it has 17,000

members so they do let people in. What is that competition or is that people looking for house sitters? It's people sharing information I think. House sitters sharing information. I don't know how I feel about it. Really? Strangers in my house.

Oh, how you feel about getting a house sitter? Yeah. There'd need to be a vetting system, kind of like Uber. You'd need to see a rating on the person who's coming to stay in your house. I'm sure they'd have all that. Surely. Yeah. If you want the Facebook page, if you want to get amongst us,

it's facebook.com forward slash groups forward slash house sitting world is the page you need to go to. You need to apply to join it. You can't just be in there. They have to approve you, but that's where you're going to get the stuff from. You need to get background checks and, you know, your licence. I hope so. Your KiwiSaver, how much you've got in your KiwiSaver.

You know, just a few details. You know how you can really ramp up your resume if you want to do this? Become a pet house sitter. Oh, yeah. And you look after people's pets in the house. Even more fun. You know?

Yeah. Which is awesome. Like, who doesn't want to do that? Would you let someone stay in your house if they were going to look after the dog? If they had good reviews and, like, yeah, so we didn't have to, like, uproot Whitney and put her in a kennel,

then, I mean, it's a good option. Are you looking at going anywhere soon? I could broker this deal for you if you like. Why, is it going to be you? No, I don't know. Actually, yeah, I wouldn't want to change the scenery. Looking for some free accommodation? Hey, Luce, I'm going house-sitting.

You look after the kids. Trust me, once you look after my dog, you won't be coming back. Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee. I'm Alex Casey. And I'm Duncan Grieve. We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time. We bloody love reality telly. If we sound like your type on paper,

and available wherever you get your pods. Bree and Clint. Right now though, you're watching Married at First Sight Australia I am I'm catching it when You know I have the time to just not think It's addictive

I swore black and blue I wasn't going to watch it You get invested I hate this show I hate the concept I hate the people It's the drama And I've seen every episode

Last night Andrew Davis Who if you are watching it Is the big guy With the ginger hair And the cauliflower ears He's the American He's from Texas

Yeah he's the American guy Probably the best way To describe him That was the next Right That was the next But that wasn't the most Characteristic

Unique thing about him It's the cauliflower ears That get me first Anyone who's cauliflowered Their ears You reckon Yeah that's what I see first We're in New Zealand

Yeah And if I see him I I'm like, damn, you play some rugby. So many people have them because it's such a common thing in rugby. Yeah, it's a rugby thing. Yeah. Well, this guy's got them. Last night, he was challenged to share something with his wife that he'd never shared before

and he chose to share this. I'm a very sexual person and have had roughly 350 sexual partners in the past. So 350, do you keep a list? I've been single for 7 years of my life and 52 weeks in a year. So that's how I roughly

came to that number. Right. Is that one a month or is that one a week? That would be one a week. Is this in America? This is two continents actually, probably more like five continents because I travelled Europe for quite a while as well. Oh, okay, got it. Why on earth would that be the fact that you would choose to share about yourself?

You could pick anything else. Anything else. Anything. 350 partners in seven years. My first question to you, do you believe in? Nah. But no, I don't. I don't think that it's humanly possible.

But even if it is, like even if he's lying, why would you choose to exaggerate it that much? Like why would you, if you're trying to make yourself sound like more of a player, why would you make it that big? I'll just let people in on a secret. Not attractive. You reckon? No.

But he obviously, a part of me, and I've watched the show, he was thinking it made him sound, I don't know why he shared it. Why would you share that unless, you know? It's like a defining characteristic about himself. He was bragging. That's what he was doing. There's no other reason than I can think of. Whether your number is 350 or your number is 3.5.

Yeah, three is a better one actually. What's a.5? Yeah, what did you do? Second base. It got me thinking, is it ever a good idea to have that conversation with your partner? Do you think there's ever a good outcome where you go, okay, let's compare numbers?

Oh, I don't think it's about a comparing thing. You should never compare because you're your own person. I think it depends on the relationship. And you know what? I can see where if you want to have a healthy conversation about that, then that's fine, you know, because that's someone's past. Like if you really want to have that, that's something you need to discuss with your partner.

If they feel comfortable, then I don't think it's a super big deal unless, I mean, a number like that comes out. Yeah, that's the thing. What good can come from having the conversation? Like what's the – unless it's one and you're like, oh my God, I'm the only one, you know? Yeah, well, see, that's quite interesting, isn't it? Also, two is an interesting one.

See? If you're marrying them, you go, wow, there's only one before me. I guess that is kind of interesting. I found, I was just looking up on the internet and I found this calculator which you put your number into it and then, and how old you are and it tells you where you are on the scale in terms of if you've slept with a lot of people or not very many.

Right, okay. Well, this guy's 39. Okay, so let's do it for him. Maybe that's the average number for a 39-year-old. Okay, let's do it for him. I'll figure it out. 39. He's male.

He's 39. Yeah. And he said what? 350 partners. 350, okay. And he said what? 350 partners. 350, okay. And now I click this, it's calculating the data. This is legit, by the way. Right.

What's this website called if people want to? He, it says here, you've done the deed with more people than basically every other single person that is in your peer. Yeah, right. That is a peer to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So he's in the top. Apart from a professional.

Top 1% he is in. Yeah, right. Should we test it and see like a more average number what it says? Okay. Okay, so let's do, I'll do a female. How old? Let's say 30. And let's say 10.

Okay. 10 people. It says how do I stack up? What do you think percentage wise? Average, maybe. You've done the deed with more people than 78% of your peers. Really? Really?

Yeah. So I guess the conversation is interesting because you never really know what other people are. How old is this website? Hey, Charles, get your own tea. It's time for Google Down. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell?

I think Google's actually... You can tell I'm going away for a bit, can't you? Queen's not going to be here for the whole game, is she? No, no, no, no. Good. Who is she? You never know. Who's Charles?

Even though I got that from that crusty impression. Yeah, I know it's the Queen, but... Who's Charles? Go on, who's Charles? Ah, he's her son. Yeah? He's the future king. Yes. Is that the first question?

And you know what? He just can't wait to be king. Okay, right, this is Google Town, let's get into it. If you haven't heard this before, this is where I ask the guys questions. They put into Google, I'm looking for the most common answer that comes up for that particular question. First person to yell it out will get a point. If you looking for the most common answer that comes up for that particular question.

No, I am. I've got nowhere to be. Bree and Clint. Last night, I decided to sit down to one of my favourite movies of all time. Love Actually. Mean Girls. Oh. It's a great Actually. Mean Girls. Oh. It's a great film.

It's a classic. Everyone loves it. And there was something that caught my attention in the movie, an iconic part of the movie. Yeah. Probably one of my favourite parts. And I'm going to call it the introduction part where they are talking about all the mean girls.

Yeah. And they kind of introduce them. I know the bit. We've got a clip here if you don't know what I'm talking about all the mean girls and they kind of introduce them. I know the bit. We've got a clip here if you don't know what I'm talking about. Where are the plastics? 13 Royalty. If North Shore was Us Weekly, they would always be on the cover. That one there, that's Karen Smith.

She is one of the dumbest girls you will ever meet. She asked me how to spell orange. Such a good part. And they go through all of them and it's awesome. It's a good way to set all the characters up, eh? It's clever. Yeah. I had an idea last night where I thought,

imagine what that would sound like if I did it for our show. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So what I've done, I've done my own Mean Girls introductions. Have we got our own Mean Girls intros? For everyone here on the show. Okay. And you're about to hear it.

Take a listen. That's Anastasia Lufin, the only Gen Z in the group. I heard she spends every last dollar she earns on designer clothes. One time I saw her eating crackers. She chewed them up and then spat them back on the next cracker as a topping. She says her dad is Dutch, but I heard it's just to cover up her Dutch ovening fetish. That one is Ben McDowell.

And yes, before you ask, his moustache, it's full of secrets. He claims to be Christchurch strong, but I heard he was born and raised in Lincoln. He claims to be an Elton John fan, but he doesn't even like the song Benny and the Jets. One time, he went on a tramping trip and claims to have made out with Bigfoot. But most say he was drunk in the viaduct

and it was Dan Carter in a wig. And the timing was perfect and I never wanted it to stop. And finally, that's Clint Roberts. Some say he traded his childhood dog Rover to upgrade his Honda Accord to an Audi. When you look up dad sneaker in the dictionary, a picture of him appears. And yes,

the rumours are true. When he was younger, he totally rocked a piss fringe and an eyebrow piercing. I heard one time he went to a Wilds Food Festival and drank horse s***. I love it. Everything in that

was slander and untrue. Except for the hooking up with Dan Carter and a wig bit. Yeah, that was definitely true and if I can tell, I'm definitely

getting fired tomorrow. Why don't you check your boobs to find out if you're getting fired? Because that's what Karen from the plastics does. You know what? She's away tomorrow, actually. We'll do hers.

We'll do hers. No, no, no. She won't be here to defend herself. No, no. No, no. She's not even Australian. You don't even go here. The Tinder swindler is currently one of the top shows in New Zealand.

It's number seven on the Netflix list. I think it's been as high as number one in the last couple of weeks. And if you haven't seen it, here's a little bit from the trailer. Immediately, we had a bond. I shared my whole heart with him. And then he asked me if I wanted to travel with him.

I want a private jet. He took me to a five-star hotel. He said we had a special connection. And in the middle of the night, he said there was something he wants to tell me. He said he has threats against him. He needs a scarf. $20,000.

$30,000. $140,000. His life depended on me. That's when police tell me the man I love was never real. Everything's a lie. It's a terrifyingly true story It's a documentary about a man

Who cons multiple women across the globe Out of all the money they have And money they don't have He convinces them to go into debt Get loans To get money Just heaps loan after loan And just lies and cheats his way through life

The scary thing about the show is That it's about a real guy who, I don't want to give it away, but he's still out there. He is still out there. He went to prison for a little bit and then he's now out of prison and he did have an Instagram account where you could follow him and since that has been deactivated, he also was still on Tinder and other dating apps and he's since been banned since this has come out.

Yeah. And I also found, so if you haven't seen it, it's about mainly three women. I mean, I'm sure there's so many more. The three that were willing to come forward. The three that were willing to come forward and actually brought this guy down and put him in jail. Anyway, they've lost so many more. The three that were willing to come forward. The three that were willing to come forward and actually brought this guy down and put him in jail. Anyway, they've lost so much money.

They've got a GoFundMe page. Oh, yeah. Do you want to know how much they've raised so far? Yeah, absolutely. Because obviously they're just swimming in debt at the moment. So, so far they've raised £129,000. Oh, yeah, that's decent. So about $230,000 going towards helping out these victims.

It's not enough to pay off their debt because that's how much they got taken for. The really freaky thing about this is, like this guy, his face is known now, people know who he is, but he's not the only Tinder swindler out there, right? No, this has been happening for decades. We've had stories in the news. Not on Tinder, obviously, but in other ways. In all kinds of ways. We've had stories in the news about older women in New Zealand who fall for

guys overseas. On the phone. They end up transferring their life savings to them, that sort of thing. There was a story about a woman who ended up trafficking drugs for a guy because she fell in love with this fake person. I reckon it's shockingly, I don't want to say normal,

but it's got to be relatively common that people are using platforms like this to take advantage of people, right? I think the hardest thing is that with the internet and dating apps, you can pretend to be someone that you're not. Yeah. You know? And if you're preying on emotional connections and vulnerable people, then they're more likely to believe you.

That's what the Tinder Swindler show shows. This is what's so interesting is that you actually have to be – it's like that other Netflix show that's doing really well, Anna Delvey's story. Oh, Inventing Anna. Inventing Anna. She conned her way through the richest people in New York. Yeah.

And she had to be so good at it. It's an actual like real skill that these people develop. Yeah. And they go after people where they know they can pretty much con them. Let's get some of these real life stories on the air this afternoon. Have you been or almost Tinder swindled? Have you been the victim of I guess an online con man or woman? Someone who maybe cheated you out of something? They lied to you? They screwed

you over in some way by deceiving you through the internet? Through the dating apps? Through something like that? Yeah, so it doesn't just have to be on Tinder. It can be in any which way. Who knows how you met this person? You might have got swindled in real life by somebody. Yeah. If you want to share your story with us this afternoon, we would love to hear from you. We can keep you anonymous if that's important to you.

You can also text us if you can't talk to us about your story. We'd still love to share it. Our phone number is 0800-DARLS-ZM, and you can text us on 9696. Have you been Tinder swindled? Bree and Clint. One of the biggest shows in the country at the Have you been Tinder swindled? Bree and Clint. One of the biggest shows in the country at the moment is The Tinder Swindler.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's a terrifying true story about a man who conned multiple women across the world out of money they had and money they didn't have. He got them to go into debt for him. Yeah, how he'd do it is the part that I found quite interesting is he'd get heaps, he'd always have two on the go at the same time.

Yeah. And he would use one woman's money to make the other woman believe that he was this high-flying, rich, you know, prince. Yeah, it was a Ponzi scheme. Yeah, and he just kept doing it that way and he'd take private jets and spend their money on lavish things. He's been caught, he's been outed, but we want to know, have you been Tinder swindled? Are there Tinder swindling stories out there in Aotearoa?

Because we know that this happens. He's not the only guy in the world to ever use Tinder to try and trick somebody, right? Exactly right. We have some people who want to talk to us about it. Our first caller wants to remain anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. G'day.

How are you? Good, thanks. Has this happened to you? It hasn't happened to me but it happened to my wife. No way, what happened? She was learning a language on an app

where you talk to people from overseas or from different countries and you teach them like English and they'll teach you say Chinese. Okay. The one guy countries and you teach them like anglish and they'll teach you say chinese okay and um they the one guy uh said that he was a crypto investor and uh wanted to um teach my wife how to you know invest in crypto yeah okay from from china uh and yeah so he convinced her to invest in bloody crypto on some Chinese crypto app. And she spent $3,000 and then they locked her account,

saying that she was attempting to launder money or something. Oh my God. No way. Was she telling you, was she keeping you up to date with what was happening while she was investing the money? Yeah, yeah, she was real excited about it. And I was like, oh, good for you, you know. What an a-hole.

Was she, when it was revealed that it was a scam, and I assume you guys lost the $3,000 and you didn't get it back, how did she feel? Was she embarrassed? Yeah, rather, yep. Yeah, but I mean, that to me sounds like, it doesn't sound like something where I'd be like, oh, well, what an idiot. Like, she was talking to this person using this app, trying to learn the language, and

then, I mean, oh, that's so, so slimy. Yeah, like, it sort of befriended her for us. That's how they get you. Yeah, like he sort of befriended her first. That's how they get you. Yeah. I guess, too, if you're talking to someone, you can develop a personal connection. Because on the cold light of day and from the outside we go, why would you put any money in?

But it's a different situation when you're in there and you're building a conversation and a relationship with this person. Any chance you guys are going to get your three grand back or you just assume that it's gone? Ah, we're giving up. Well, you know what, Anonymous? I might have to put in a phone call to my brother because he's done a similar thing to me recently.

Do you think your brother's Tinder swindling you? Yeah, he might be Tinder swindling me. Oh, I'll tell you, put money in this crypto, it'll be great. Another Anonymous caller. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks.

You stopped a Tinder swindler. I did, yes. How? What happened? So through my job, I was working as a frontline worker for a big bank and a woman came in to transfer some of her deceased husband's life insurance money

to someone overseas. No. Okay. Yeah. And it was a very large amount. It was six figures. And she'd met this person online who claimed to be a doctor in the States and she could come move and live with him as he transferred him this money to buy a property.

And so what happened when you, did she obviously tell you about this? No, so when she came in, she didn't believe it was a scam. However, part of my job was being didn't believe it was a scam. However, part of my job was being trained to identify scams and we wouldn't let her transfer the money because it's too much

and we said, you don't know this person, you've not met them and she left in a bit of a huff. But she didn't transfer the money and a few weeks later she came back and said, actually, thank you. Wow. So this is your job to deal with this sort of stuff. How common is it in New Zealand? I don't work in the industry anymore,

but it was a lot more common, unfortunately, than people realize. We have a lot of people coming in for romance scans from not only New Zealand, but also around the world. Because people don't often talk about it, right? If they get sucked into it, they won't always say it because they're embarrassed. And so they might just...

And people are lonely and they prey on that. So they just hope for the best and was that the most amount of money you've seen like in a situation like that that she was trying to transfer? Personally yes but I do know some where it was a lot higher than her amount and it was, yeah

I hadn't seen it higher but I do know of people who had also stopped these massive numbers as well within the same bank. So that's really good. What's your number one piece of advice for people to keep themselves safe on dating apps, on any sort of online relationship to avoid being scammed? What's the best advice? If you can't verify they're a real person in front of you, don't trust it. There you go.

Anonymous, I'd like to hire your credentials because I think I'm being Tinder swindled. Oh. Yeah, by someone on my bank statement. It's Uber Eats. I've heard of that one too. Yeah. They've taken a lot of money as well. I might look into it after this conversation.

Vulnerable, hungover Bree's being paid on by the evil Uber Eats company. I will look into it. I appreciate your time. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's your time. All right, birthday banger time for a Wednesday. Three people. We find out what was the song that was number one on their 16th birthdays. Then we'll play our favourite one. Tash is here.

Kia ora, Tash. Hi, Tash. Hey, how are you guys? Good, mate. How are you? Good, good. That's good to hear. What's your birthday, Tash? 16th Kia ora, Tash. Hi, Tash. Hey, how are you guys? Good, mate. How are you? Good, good. That's good to hear. What's your birthday, Tash? 16th of February, 1983.

Oh, happy birthday. Thank you. Is it today? Is it the 16th of February today? Yeah, it's the 16th today. I'm sure of it. Have you had a nice day? I've been at work all day. Oh, well, you're on your way home now? Yes, I am.

Okay, perfect. Well, let's kick off your birthday festivities with this. You were 16 in 1999. And on the 16th of February in 99, this was number one. Do you believe in life after love? Wow. Banger. What a shrill. What do you think, Tash?

It's not too bad. It's not too bad, not too bad. Pretty good. Was 1999 a great year to be 16? I feel like it would have been. Yeah, yeah, it was pretty good. Yeah? Cool. Okay, wait there.

That's a really good start to Birthday Banger. We'll do one for Kaelin as well. Hi, Kaelin. Hi, Kaelin. G'day. How are you, mate? Yeah, not too bad. Another day in paradise.

Oh, that's nice to hear, Kieran. Wait, wait, where's paradise? Hamilton. Absolutely it is. I've been there. Bloody paradise. It depends who you ask. Clint made me drink the water from the river there one time.

That wasn't so paradise, though. But, you know. It's not the best. You win some, you lose some. Kieran, what's your birthday, mate? 11th of the 1st, 2003. All right, you were 16 in 2019 and on the 11th of Jan,

only a couple of years ago, this was number one. Where did this song go? Oh, no, Keelan. Do you like a bit of Ava, Max? Oh, no, Kieran. Do you like a bit of Ava Max? Oh, yeah. Could have been a bit of Drake or something. Could have been.

Yeah. It's all good. I mean, in a few years from now, you might look back at that and go, you know, I love that birthday banger, but I think it's maybe too soon. I think it's one of those songs that rubs people the wrong way, I think, a little bit. We'll do one more for Selena. Kia ora, Selena.

Hi, Selena. Oh, hey, guys. How's your day going? Yeah, not too bad. How about you? Yeah, pretty good, mate. Pretty good. Just, you know, working, dealing with the people in here,

I'll tell you what. Yeah, it's hot. It smells nice. It's been quite hot in the studio today. I mean, it's hot working with me. Yeah, you're quite sweaty. I've got hot damn energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you quite hot in the studio today. I mean, it's hot working with me. Oh, yeah, you're quite sweaty. I've got hot damn energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You quite smell a bit sometimes. Not what I meant. Selena, what's your birthday? 19th of June, 1983. All right, Selena, you were 16. Selena's like, get on with it. In 1999, and on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Two 1999 girls on the show today and two absolute bangers

from that year. Both great tunes. Ricky Martin, do you like that, Selena? Not gonna lie, me and my friends made up a dance, like we did the dance to it. Did you? Yeah. Well, how perfect that it's your birthday banger then. Okay, wait there. We're going to have to figure this out.

Love that Ava Mack song. I actually do quite like it. I quite like that Ava Mack song. But I'm not going to vote for it. I'm not going to pick for it. It's between Cher and Ricky Martin. I'm going with my girl Tash. It's her birthday and I love me a bit of Cher, baby.

I reckon the songs in my mind are equal and so it's Tash's birthday that gets it over the line. I agree with you. Tash, you just won birthday banger for your birthday. You got it, girl. Yeah, thank you. We're kicking off your birthday for once after work. Oh, yeah.

Go and drink a whole bottle of wine and... Take your pants off, Tash. And your bra. God, it feels good. Happy birthday, mate. Hope you have a good night. Brian Clint coming straight out of 1999. His share and believe for your birthday banger on ZM.

Brian Clint. Something I've been watching the last week. It got released on Netflix last week is Inventing Anna, which is the true story with a lot of things that are apparently made up about a woman named Anna Delvey. So essentially her real name was Anna Sorokin. And she convinced New York's social elite that she was this heiress. She was a German heiress to a huge amount of money and it was coming.

Her daddy just hadn't transferred it yet. Right, and she managed to con the rich and the famous of New York. Yeah. It's a true story. It's a true story. There's just bits that have, you know, exaggerated a little bit. Anyway, one of the biggest things people have been talking about is Julia Garner who plays Anna Delvey in the film

And you might have seen her act in stuff like Ozark She's big in that show Yeah And people are saying She's great in Ozark So good She's a fantastic actress Yeah

And when I started watching this You said that you think her accent that she's putting on is horrible Yeah, I found it really jarring and i was like are you meant to be german are you meant to be russian i feel like you haven't mastered the accent and it actually almost put me off the show because i was like i can't handle this but then i said to you that woman is such a fantastic actress i bet you it's because that's what the real anna sorokin sounds like anyway we've got some audio um of the actress julia garner which one do you want to hear first i want to hear the actress so this is yeah yeah this is what julia garner sounds like playing

anna delvey i am famous people are panting a public picture of me as a criminal. That's not my story. Yep. That's the one. That's the one. And now we've got some audio of the real life Anna Sorokin. How did I find Germany? I was just confronted with a fact. I don't know.

I didn't really like. I dealt with it. I don't know. Pretty bloody close. Oh my God. Okay. Don't you reckon? Yeah, she's nailed it. She's spot on. I reckon she'll win an Emmy. Pretty bloody close. Oh, my God. Okay. Don't you reckon? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's nailed it.

She's spot on. I reckon she'll win an Emmy. More than that, Ben has put a picture up in front of us of the real Anna Sorokin, and she's absolutely nailed it. Yeah, she does a fantastic job. It's incredible. And it's good to know this, I think, before you watch it. Yeah.

Because then you can appreciate why the actress is doing the accent like that. Is she watching it? Do you reckon she's watching it? So this is the info I've got, right? I saw this article where apparently the real Anna Sorokin, who it's about, has commented on what she thinks the accent. Because she's still in prison, right? No, she's out of prison.

Oh, okay. She got out of prison. I'm pretty sure she's not in prison anymore. She might have went back, but she got out, and she's commented on how good she thinks the accent is. Okay. So she said, I don't think it's off. I think she kind of falls in and out of it.

Some of it she gets right, but not everything is what she said. Yeah, interesting. It would be so weird to watch somebody play you on TV, especially if you had an accent. So strange. But as the actress said, Julia Garner says, it's quite hard to play her

because she grew up in Russia until she was seven. Then she moved to Germany and then she was going all around the world. So her accent is so muddled that it's really quite hard to master. She has to be an American doing the accent of a Russian person who's trying to do a German accent. Yeah. It's quite difficult.

I think she does a great job. If you want to watch that show, it's on Netflix at the moment. It's called Inventing Anna. Look, just a bit of a warning. We need to keep it clean for this break, okay? It's a serious story. Yeah. I'm going to try and cover it like a true professional broadcaster.

I can do that. The challenge is yours, really. No, this will be easy. I'm a professional. Piece of cake. You, on the other hand. Walk in the park for me. Okay, well, good luck.

So this is the story. A woman has recalled her horror after she discovered what appeared to be human hair hanging from and shoved deep inside the exhaust pipe of her car, otherwise known as the muffler. There was hair in the muffler. Yeah. It was a hairy muffler. Yeah. It was a hairy muffler. Yeah, that's fine. There's nothing funny about that. That's totally fine.

Move on. There's nothing. There's nothing. Say something. No jokes I want to say. It sounds serious. Sounds like there's someone stuck in their muffler. It is serious.

It is real serious. Anyway, there's someone stuck in their muffler. It is serious. It is real serious. Anyway, there was enough black, brunette, blonde, grey, and highlighted hair to fill up an entire rubbish bag. That is one hairy muff. What? And it caused so much alarm that she called the police to investigate her muff. All those different shades as well.

It's a multicoloured muff. So she's got an entire indoor netball team down there. Centre, GD, goalkeeper, they're all there. Anyway. It's a full muff. That is, I mean. Get to the back. Okay, we need to get to this quick

Anyway The cops come The cops come And they Are quite concerned They said Show us Take us to your muff

Yeah And she took them straight to it Without hesitation Yeah Anyway they looked at it And they were quite concerned as well And they started pulling the hair out of her muff Lur

Lur Muff lur Yeah Anyway And they were looking for You know and they started pulling the hair out of her muff. Lur. Lur. Muff lur. Yeah. Anyway, and they were looking for, you know, other body parts in case, you know, someone had done something real bad. But all they could find was just so much hair. Like it was just countless amounts of hair. Jokes aside, this is a terrifying story.

I know. Don't worry. I wouldn't be joking if it was a grim story. So let's just enjoy it. Anyway. That's very true. We've made a lot of muff jokes, but turns out she killed a man. Yeah.

And put him in the muff. No, that's not the story at all. Anyway, the police said they thought it was a weird prank and they would put more patrols in the area. Yeah. Anyway, so they took the hair away and it was a nice, clean muffler. Anyway, she was like, I can't stop thinking about this. I feel like that is the weirdest prank. Like, why would someone do this to me?

She couldn't think of anyone that would do that to her. So she ended up doing some more research because she's like, I need to know what's going on. Anyway, she soon discovered the true cause of why her car had a ponytail. And after internet research, it turns out that it was actually muffler hair. Is that a real thing? This is from the article. Apparently, and very rarely, when mufflers are about to break,

this is true, some start to shed the material that muffles the sound and it comes out of the exhaust pipe looking like hair. Oh, my God. And she said it looked exactly like human hair. That is so weird. And I've seen pictures of it. I've seen the pictures. It looks so much like human hair. Wow. And weird. And I've seen pictures of it. I've seen the pictures. It looks so much like human hair.

Wow. And there was so much hair in this muff. Well, I guess this is a good warning. Yes. Clean out your mufflers. Well, at least inspect it tonight. I mean, have a look at it. Get down there.

Usually with a mirror is a good way to do it. And if you're not sure, get a friend to have a look. Get a friend to have a look. Get a friend to have a look. It's always good. Brie and Clint. That is the end of the show and the last Brie Thomasale show for a wee while, everybody. Yes, I'm off.
