Hi everybody, Brian Clint's podcast, Thursday, June 16, 2021.
I have something to bring up with the podcast.
Oh yeah.
Something I've been contemplating for a while.
I want to get your guys' reaction to when I say it.
Okay.
Actually, Anastasia, you want to film this, just to be safe?
I feel like there's some bullshit coming.
Always filming. No, it's not bullshit. No safe, I feel like there's some bullshit coming Always filming
No, it's not bullshit
No, by that I mean there's something weird coming
No, no, no, it's not
It's a life decision
What do you guys think
About me
Getting another dog?
Yeah
Can I speak candidly?
Yeah What a stupid idea No, it's a great idea Yeah Can I speak candidly? Yeah
What a stupid idea
No, it's a great idea
What a stupid idea
Hear me out
It's a great idea because
Having two dogs
Means they have a friend to play with
And you don't feel as bad leaving them at home
And they can entertain each other
And keep each other company
Yeah, okay
As a man who just had a second child, you've forgotten about the part where you have to
train a new puppy.
So you get another dog, you either get an adult one or you go through hell on earth
again having to wean and toilet train and break a whole new puppy.
But then surely the other dog would help the new puppy.
Bree has an issue at the moment where her dog needs more stimulation
than she can provide.
This lady told us she needs to be more mentally stimulated.
Get her a Sudoku book.
She's too intelligent.
You know you laugh and joke,
but the thing that we need to get her is dog puzzles
and it's actual things where they need to move something to the side
and up to get a treat out.
Wow.
It's actually amazing and apparently it stimulates their mind
and it's actually better sometimes than exercise.
You could get another dog.
I want to get a West Highland Terrier.
There was my childhood dream dog.
Are they Scotty Dog?
Is it a Scotty Dog?
No, it's the white version.
The white one.
Oh, Fancy Feast.
Yes, that one.
The dog off Fancy Feast.
That one, yeah.
It kind of looks like a rectangle.
It's where...
Have you clipped them that way, eh?
Yeah, yeah.
So the Cairn Terrier, the West Highland Terrier came from the Cairn, which is what I've got
now.
Oh, I thought it was the other way around.
But they're a little bit more laid back and chill.
So you asked us what our opinion was. How far down the track are you with this? Oh, not very far was the other way around. But they're a little bit more laid back and chill. So you asked us what our opinion was.
How far down the track are you with this?
Oh, not very far.
Not very far.
Have you talked to breeders?
No.
Have you talked to your partner?
A little bit.
No, no, no, we're not far.
We're not far.
I just wanted to see what your guys' reaction was.
Look, I said no, but life's short.
It's not like I'm getting four dogs
You might as well
You don't have any kids
Yeah, this is the time to get them
This is the time to get them
Because you can't get them once you have kids
It's either now or when the kids are like 10
Yeah, which is too long
Yeah
Because I'm not having kids for another 10 years
So then
How?
Why?
Want me to freeze some eggs.
Yeah.
I've already frozen my eggs.
Really?
Have you?
No, but I need to.
I've had conversations with my gynecologist because of my polycystic ovaries and endometriosis.
I've had conversations in the past.
I think when I was 27, I said...
Freeze them.
Can I freeze my eggs?
Because I was panicking.
Nice and fresh.
Get them in there. And he was like, he said, can I freeze my eggs? Because I was panicking. They're nice and fresh. Get them in there.
And he was like, he goes, look.
He's like, settle down.
He goes, I don't want to be freezing a 27-year-old's eggs.
That's in your situation.
As in, he's seen a lot worse than me.
He said, come back when you're mid-30s.
And if there's no Like chance or like
There's not really anything that's happening
Like close in the future
He's like that's when we'll have a conversation
Is it like storage?
King do you have to pay for like a rental locker
To keep your eggs in?
It's quite expensive
Because they'd have to maintain them right?
They'd have to make sure the fridge doesn't go down
Do you reckon you could pay extra for them to be next to Walt Disney?
I don't think they next to Walt Disney?
I don't think they're keeping Walt Disney at the egg farm.
No, he's underneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
Yeah, everyone knows he's under
the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
Fuck, I feel for anyone
who has to go through fertility,
stuff like this.
I've got friends who are doing it at the moment
and it's just brutal, man.
You have to inject yourself.
You have to, yeah. Even, I mean, even the stuff that I've got friends who are doing it at the moment and it's just brutal. You have to inject yourself. You have to
even the stuff that I've had to
deal with, the operations
that I've had, I can't even
it's just horrible.
So get the dog.
Get the dog. It's a lot cheaper.
I reckon Ben's pretty close to getting a
relationship dog. Are you getting a dog?
I have a vibe. Do you want one of
Whitney's puppies? I have a vibe about you that you'll be dogging it.
You'll be in the dog.
Sonya will be in the dog box.
Is Brit a dog or a cat person?
Dog.
Yes, you're getting a dog.
Have you ever had a dog before?
Yeah, I've had a dog my whole life.
Childhood dog.
Dog's away.
What dog would you get, Ben?
I don't know.
I'd have to have a house before I have a dog.
True.
But probably adopt one. I don't know what I'd have to have a house before I have a dog. True. But probably adopt one.
I don't know what kind of dog.
It depends.
I want to adopt or rehome a racing greyhound.
And race it.
No.
God, no.
Can I say there's this terrifying, terrifying ex-racing greyhound
that's just started going to our dog park.
And you want one that's faster than it.
No, yesterday I got knocked clean off my feet
into a massive puddle of mud from this greyhound.
Were you wearing a fluffy jacket?
I was wearing a white jacket and I got thrown into the mud.
You would have looked like that fake rabbit
That they chase around the track
That's why
No it's fake
It's just fluffy and covered in pheromones
It's a toy
Some of them do real baiting though
And it's horrible
Dog racing is shit
Dog racing is shit
A bunch of
I can't remember the exact details,
but someone high up in the dog racing community in New Zealand.
This is a grim story, by the way.
Are you doing an Anastasia?
I'm doing an Anastasia.
Someone in the dog racing community in New Zealand,
I read, has just been done for giving the dogs meth.
Oh, I saw this story. To make them race faster. dogs meth I saw this story
to make them race faster
I saw that story, that broke my heart
also meth facts, do you guys want some meth facts
because I've been watching that Petty Gower
doco in New Zealand on meth
we call it pee in New Zealand
did you know that
the Nazis were given
meth to help them march further
Nazi soldiers
has it been around that long?
The army fought on meth.
It's been around for 100 years.
God, you never even think.
I wonder how long MDMA's been around for.
It was prescribed to housewives in the 1950s and 60s as a diet pill, legitimately.
Oh my God.
Wow.
So interesting.
And in the 2000s, are guys remember Are you guys old enough
To know BZP

Thank you for that update from the news desk.
Back to you in the studio.
Oh, and further breaking details, my dinner is ruined.
You idiot.
I keep forgetting to have lunch.
When he gets to the show and I'm like, I don't know.
I don't know.
Lunch to me is the most important thing in my day.
Not you, you're at work.
Not work.
Not producer Ben.
Not producer Anastasia.
Lunch is the most important thing to me.
So lunch is the most important part of your workday.
Rank the meals for me.
No, not workday.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
Rank them.
Oh.
Yeah.
Because dinner is held up as the king of meals, right?
That's the one you put the most effort into.
But what is actually the best meal?
I mean, I do love breakfast foods.
I love breakfast too.
I love a cooked breakfast. I love a
cafe breakfast. I'm going to put it out there.
I'm going to say breakfast, dinner, lunch.
Breakfast, dinner.
Lunch is third. Of course
lunch is third. Lunch is the
afterthought. It's the, oh,
what am I going to do for lunch?
No one ever puts that much thought into lunch.
Brunch, on the other hand.
Yeah, brunch is a subcategory though.
Brunch is a different thing altogether.
Linner?
How good's a linner?
Oh, that's what I've just had, linner.
That is not linner.
It is linner.
No.
It comes between lunch and dinner.
No.
It's either litter or dunch.
You had a piece of toast with Vegemite on it.
Excuse me, I had a artisan bagel with vegan butter
and it was olivani that I stole out of the fridge.
Yep, I'd say breakfast, dinner, lunch.
What about you?
You didn't rate them.
It's too hard.
Dinner, breakfast, lunch.
Oh, so original.
Because there's so much dinner you can go out.
Dinner you can drink.
Breakfast you can go out.
Breakfast you can also drink.

Except I'm not quite as cool as pink.
Yeah, exactly.

Thank you guys so much
No worries
Thanks
Bree and Clint
Do you want to get off social media?
Do you think it's toxic?
Do you think it's not for you?
I was talking to a friend
that I haven't talked to
for a while yesterday
and she said
How's Tui?
Tui's my daughter
and I said
Oh, a bit rude just to ask about Tui.
I've got two daughters.
What's wrong with Maggie?
Why don't you ask how Maggie is?
She's not interested.
No, I was like, why don't you care about Maggie?
Maggie's a lump.
She's only like three months old.
Yeah, I know she's just a Buddha baby at this stage.
What's Maggie going to be up to?
Nothing.
She's never said anything cute.
She's done nothing.
To be honest, she doesn't contribute to rent.
She can't even do a high five.
Nothing. And so I said to her not in those words
I was like
oh Tui's good
you know we've got two
we've got two daughters now
Maggie's only 10 weeks old
but you know
I post about her enough
I figured you'd know about it
and she goes
oh my god
I had no idea
I'm not on social media anymore
and I went
oh you're one of those people
you're one of the people
that got out.
You decided enough is enough and you left social media.
And inside me, I think I'm a little bit jealous that she's left the Matrix
and she operates out in the real world and she has her life back, you know?
I mean, you could do it if you wanted to.
No, I can't do it.
You know, no one's holding you hostage on social media.
No, I know no one's holding me hostage.
You could easily do it tomorrow.
No, I know, but I'm addicted.
Yeah, give me your phone.
I'll delete all of your accounts.
Do you want to know what she said it's like
not being on social media?
Yeah.
So she said, first of all, life is great without social media,
but she has no idea what's going on.
Yeah, see, my anxiety.
She's not up to date with anything.
No, I don't know how I'd deal with that.
But don't you think that it feeds into your anxiety?
Don't you think the need to know more feeds into it?
I think it's really hard.
I think because we live in a world where social media is so prevalent,
especially within our generation,
that to not be on social media at all.
Is to not exist.
Well, I think it almost makes your life a little bit more difficult
to really kind of pull back on social media, still have it.
Yeah.
But obviously that takes self-control.
Self-control.
Yeah.
Which a lot of us don't have.
She said a few more things.
She said she misses out on a lot of stuff, like events and things like that.
I'd love to miss out on some baby showers or some engagement parties
because then I can stop buying prisms.
You genuinely have a reason for not being there.
She said you miss out on some stuff,
but it does force you to nurture the important connections that you have.
You have to work at the relationships that you want to maintain, right?
You have to pick up the phone and text or call that person.
She said it frees up a lot of mental space
because you're not constantly thinking about
what such and such is doing and what so-and-so said
and all of that stuff.
And also, she said you save a lot of money
because she has absolutely no idea what's cool.
So she's not going to the cool new cafe
or she's not buying the on-trend shoes
because to her, there are no trends.
Can I ask though, has she got kids?
Yeah, she's got kids, yeah.
Oh, well, that's answered my question.
She's too busy anyway.
Yeah, well, there is that side of it too.
She's too busy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whereas someone who doesn't have kids
and maybe they're single or they're young,
how are they going to connect with people?
What, go talk to someone at a bar?
Well, that's what she's saying.
Go old school.
Make a phone call, you know.
Oh, what's that?
Call somebody.
Pick up the phone.
Go around and visit somebody.
I haven't called someone in 10 years.
And that's the difference.
I don't want to start now.
I wonder if we can talk to some people who have escaped today,
who are outside of social media and have left the bubble of social media.
You're not on it.
You either quit social media or you never had it.
But I think we need to talk to people who are of an age
where you would expect them to be on social media, right?
Like it's weird that you're not on there.
What age is that?
What age and below that we need to talk to?
I think what that makes it weird if they're not.
Yeah. Oh, I feel like
everyone's on it. Everyone is on it.
I feel like, I'd say...
But if one of your parents' friends wasn't
on Facebook, you wouldn't find that weird, right?
So that age group, you wouldn't find it weird. Yeah, my mum's never been
on Facebook. Well, I've put her on
Facebook, but she's not on it. Anyone under
40, I'd find it weird. Yeah, probably under 40.
Under 35? Anyone who's under 35? Under 40. Under 40. Let's not on it. Anyone under 40? Yeah, probably under 40. Under 35? Anyone who's under
35? Under
40. Under 40. Let's say under 40.
Are you under 40? That's like meeting
Ross, our boss, who's
nearly 40. No, he turned 40 last year.
And addicted to TikTok. And he's addicted to TikTok.
What if he came up to you and said, oh, I'm not
on social media, haven't been on there for ages?
I'd be like, you run a radio
station. What are you doing?
How are you going to find out about Taylor Swift's new music?
Oh, $800 a day.
Are you under 40 and not on social media?
What's it like?
Do you recommend it?
Or is it hell on earth?
Did you go off and you're like, this actually sucks?
I need to get back on Instagrams.
Bree and Clint.
My friend, who's 34, by the way, for some context,
I was talking to her yesterday yesterday and she didn't realise,
well, she didn't know that we'd had a baby
because she doesn't have social media anymore.
And that's where you learn everything.
If you don't see people, you find out on social media.
She's escaped social media and I was like,
what is that like?
What is life like outside of the bubble?
You said you're going to do it.
You said you're going to delete all your apps.
One day, one day.
When?
Do it, do it. Why do you're going to delete all your apps. One day. When? Do it.
Do it. Why do you want me off social
media so bad? Do you hate my story
that much? No, I've already muted
your story.
She's just messaged and said it's extra hard because
she's a marketing manager as well.
That makes it pretty tricky. Don't marketing managers
have to look at what people are talking about on social
media to make their marketing
interesting?
Then you have to go, what do people like? So social media to make their marketing, you know, interesting. Yeah, and their ads and stuff that comes up.
Yeah.
And you have to go, what are people like?
So we want to know, are you of an age where people would expect you to have social media under 40,
but you don't have it?
Maybe you left, maybe you never had it.
What's it like out there?
Natasha's here.
Hi, Natasha.
Hi, Natasha.
Kia ora.
You're off the apps.
You're not on anything.
No, kind of.
Well, I'm 24, and I deleted everything except I keep Facebook just for the events.
That I don't miss out on people's birthdays and celebrations and stuff.
You're 24.
You're cool.
See, I like your tact, Natasha, because you haven't deleted the functional part of what social media is,
which I think people are missing out.
If they're like, I'm deleting all the apps, I'm never going on anything.
But you're using the parts you want to use.
But then you also sound like you've got self-control.
Well, the problem was I didn't have self-control.
So I needed to get rid of things like Instagram, which is a huge time waste.
Yeah.
Oh, it's such a time waste.
Natasha, don't get TikTok.
It's even worse.
Yeah.
It's dangerous.
I refuse.
Yeah, TikTok is like social media crack, eh?
It just, it grabs you and it will not let you go.
It is the worst out of all of them.
Paddy Gower needs to do a Paddy Gower on TikTok documentary so he can find out what's going
on there.
Lance is here.
Hi, Lance.
Hi, Lance.
Hey, mate. How you doing? First of all, how old are you?
34. Alright, 34. Same age as Clint's friend and you're
off the social media apps. Yeah, yeah. Have been for quite some
time. Could be at least six years I suppose. Why did you quit them?
A couple of reasons. One, just all the crap people put on there.
A lot of things don't need to be put on there.
And you just don't realise how much time you actually spend checking your phone.
Yeah, right.
No, I do, Lance, because I check it in my battery usage and it's not pretty.
Yeah, and it wasn't easy.
Yeah.
Like, it actually wasn't.
You really had to, like, leave your phone away.
I found I had to put it in another room and just try and forget about it because your
natural reaction is you want to pick your phone up every time and look at it.
Because it's an addiction, right, Lance?
It's the same as other vices that we have as humans.
Anything that gives you a dopamine hit, right?
Yeah, exactly.
And that's what I found.
And you just, honestly, you get so much more time back in your life.
So, Lance, to obviously kick that addiction,
did you take up smoking or something?
Yeah.
So, like, you know.
No, I found a beer called Tultara.
Oh, you beer.
Oh, nice, nice.
Perfect.
Mate, Lance, it doesn't matter if you're using a nice craft beer,
you've just replaced it with alcohol.
Hey, isn't that what, you know.
You know, themes of the breaks.
Themes of the breaks.
Isn't that what quitting advice is all about?
I'm going to change it for this vice,
and then I'm going to take up this one.
Just keep them rotating.
As long as you keep them rotating, it's all about moderation.
Yeah, yeah.
Anonymous is here.
Finally, you're not on social media at all.
How old are you?
I'm 30.
Okay.
How long for have you been off social media?
I left Facebook about 10 years ago, but I've never had Insta.
You've never had Instagram?
You would have seen what it's like though on other people's phones.
Not kind of.
My husband, though, he's worse.
He's dirty as well and never had Facebook or Insta at all.
Right.
Wow.
How come?
Why?
When I had Facebook, I just didn't really post anything myself
and I kind of got to a stage where I didn't really care
about all the other stuff on there.
We can hear a baby in the background.
I default back to Bree's methodology here.
You don't have time for social media.
You're too busy.
I think not now.
Not now.
Well, you know, it's just you have more priorities,
like your priorities change.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And posting a status update from Saturday night
or uploading, you know uploading a bunch of photos from
the night out. Plus changing nappies doesn't make good
Instagram story content. You've got nothing to post.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio
this is the latest
live from LA with D. McCarthy.
Literally everything from the
90s is coming back. Cargo pants are coming
back. Dean told us earlier this week the Spice
Girls are coming back and now Sc us earlier this week the Spice Girls are coming back. And now
Scream, the movie that premiered in
1996, is coming back as well.
Dean, what's the latest? It is.
Can you believe it? Scream number
five is what they call locked, which
means it's done. The final edit is completely
finalised. It's all ready.
Now, it's been 10 years. It was 2011
when Scream 4 came out. Scream
5, here's what you can expect.
A lot of frights, a lot of jumping, and
some of your favourite faces from the franchise.
Courtney Cox is returning, Neve Campbell,
David Arquette will return as
Sidney Prescott and Dewey Riley,
if you remember their name. Yes.
But look, this is exciting.
Scream 5, yeah, I think of all the things from the
90s to bring back, I'm pumped this is one of them.
Hopefully, Scary Movie comes back because, you know,
they have another one based off this new screen.
I Know What You Did Last Summer.
We could get that back as well.
It could be I Know What You Did Last Autumn.
Yeah, you could definitely do that one.
You could do all the seasons.
I Know What You Did In Winter.
Not exercise, I know that.
I Know What You Did Last Winter Solstice.
Good that Courtney Cox is back in this.
If we can't get her in a Friends reboot,
then this is kind of next best thing, right?
I love Courtney Cox.
I can't wait.
Hello, Sydney.
Hi.
Who is this?
You tell me.
So creepy, eh?
It's really creepy.
That's the movie with the mask.
That's the latest on the Scream movie.
Scream 5 coming soon.

Bree and Clint
But I've got a TikTok trend.
TikTok, TikTok, TikTok.
Here we go.
Go on, Dad.
Oh, shut up.
This is one of those ones where you know it goes viral and they go,
you can't lick your own elbow.
You can't touch your own shoulder with the palm of your own hand.
This one.
What's this one?
This one, Kymes.
I just realised you can't talk while inhaling through your nose.
I saw this one the other day.
Yeah.
And I tried it.
Did you?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Were you able to?
No.
I haven't tried it yet.
I feel like it can't be that hard.
You should give it a go.
I've got another one similar to this that we can do straight after too.
Okay, so you can go first.
Okay, so wait, so.
So you have to talk.
Yep.
While breathing through your nose.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm just going to count to ten.
No, give me a, my name is Brie Thomas-Ali. Are you ready? Ready? talk while breathing through your nose. Okay. I'm just going to count to ten.
My name is Bree Thomas-El.
You ready?
Ready.
Oh, no.
I can't do it.
You try it. It's impossible.
You can't breathe through your nose.
It's so blocked up anyway.
No, we're having a good moment.
Is one nostril clear?
I think I might have one and a half.
I think you've got a deviated septum
I'm like Stevie Nicks
Not good
Use hyperventilate
You really can't do it
You know who could do it?
People who play the didgeridoo
That's what they do I'm pretty sure Yeah Isn't it. You know who could do it? People who play the didgeridoo. That's what they do, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
Circular breathing.
They do something, yeah, like it's really cool what they do.
Okay, so we've confirmed it.
You can't breathe through your nose and talk at the same time.
I've seen on TikTok.
This was a while ago, but I was shocked to learn this.
You can't swallow more than twice in a row.
Oh, really?
Go, you try.
Just swallow spit. Okay. Swallow row. Oh, really? Go, you try. Just swallow some spit or something?
Just swallow spit.
Okay.
Swallow one.
Oh.
Oh, you can't even do two.
Oh, that's what you said twice in a row, didn't you?
Hang on.
Ready to try again.
One.
One.
Two.
Oh.
What the hell was that all about?
Get that out of your mouth
I really walked into that one didn't I?
I know this topic is pretty
Oh you know
What?
Pretty done to death
What?
No one really likes the topic of the Kardashians
But I thought we were done with them I thought the show was finished The show is finished really likes the topic of the Kardashians.
I thought we were done with them.
I thought the show's finished.
The show is finished until their new show appears on Hulu.
It just goes on and on.
Does that mean we're going to have to get Hulu?
Probably.
Well, if you want to watch the Kardashians,
but I'm sure there'll be other stuff on Hulu.
We'll always get it on Ben's Amazon Fire Stick.
Yeah, true.
He'll find it for us.
What are you on, Pirate Bay, Ben?
Are you on the Pirate Bays?
Are you on Torrance with a Z?
Is that the one you're on?
No, I think he uses LimeWire.
Are you beer sharing?
Yeah, LimeWire or FrostWire, either or.
Good to know.
Good to know.
Good to know.
Good to know. There's a story out today about Kendall Jenner
because the show has come to an end
and people are talking about why they never ever once saw,
which Kendall Jenner, for people playing along at home,
she is the Victoria's Secret model.
She's the supermodel.
She's that one.
She's the tall one.
She's the very tall one.
Yeah, people are wondering why they never ever,
ever saw any of her relationships on the show.
Was she ever in a relationship on the show?
Yeah, she had quite a few.
She was linked romantically to Harry Styles as well as Ben Simmons, the NBA player,
and Blake Griffin, big time NBA players.
She's now apparently smitten with boyfriend Devin Booker, who's also an NBA player.
God, they should have got Harry Styles on the show.
That'd be great for ratings.
Yeah, but you know why they didn't?
Out today, there's an executive producer for the series
who's revealed that Kendall Jenner, the 25-year-old,
said she never wanted her boyfriends to appear on the show
because she wanted to figure out in private
if the relationship was really real and it worked.
Right.
So she had a rule.
This was her rule.
She said she had to be with someone for at least a year before she let them be a part
of the show.
And she wasn't with any of them for longer than a year?
Obviously not.
Wow.
See, I thought Harry Styles wasn't allowed on the show because no one, I mean no one
is allowed to have a better dress than Kris Jenner.
And Harry Styles' dress is, though, a two-gay.
He does dress very snappy.
You know?
Yeah, very snappy.
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
That's why you never saw any relationships.
But they said, because she has been with this new boyfriend,
Devin Booker, for over a year, maybe he'll appear on the next series.
Oh, we can only hope.
It would make my year. There's logic in it, keeping your relationship on the DL. Oh, we can only hope. It would make my year.
There's logic in it, keeping your relationship on the DL
until you know whether it's legit. Do you need to wait
a year? I don't know. But you shouldn't go public
on Instagram or Facebook straight away
with someone who you've been on two dates with.
Then you have to take it down. And also, it looks stage 5
clingerish. I have kept
relationships secret for a while.
Like friends and family. Because you want to live
in that bubble for a little while. Oh yeah, it's fun. Yeah. Like friends and family because you want to live in that bubble for a little while.
Oh yeah, it's fun.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Where there's no like pressure
or responsibility
and you can just be in each other's presence
and you don't have to answer to anyone.
Yeah.
There'll be lots of like not fun reasons
that people have to keep relationships a secret too.
People whose families have strong religious beliefs.
A lot of people wouldn't feel comfortable talking about their relationship
if the person didn't fit the mould, you know.
Same with ethnic lines.
If your family expect you to date someone from the same country as you.
Maybe you were dating the person that used to date your friend
and you need to keep it a secret.
Maybe you're dating one of your best friend's exes
or maybe they were dating someone you dated
so they kept it a secret from you.
Maybe you were just recently divorced
and you were worried it was a bad look, you know?
Yeah.
We'd love to talk.
Let's talk to some people who dated in secret this afternoon.
Yeah.
0800 dial ZM.
Are you currently right now
or have you in the past ever dated anyone in secret?
If you're doing it right now, we can keep you anonymous.
That's totally fine.
Absolutely.
What was the reason that you had to keep your relationship a secret?
Share it with us this afternoon.
You can also text us on 9696 or call us.
Oh, no, $800.
That's the one.
Are you dating someone in secret
or have you dated someone in secret in the past?
Yeah, was it for romantic reasons?
Was it for cultural reasons? Was it for cultural reasons?
Was it for sinister reasons?
Any of the above will take.
Let's go to Danielle first.
Hi, Danielle.
Hi.
Are you currently dating someone in secret or you used to?
Both.
So we are currently dating, But it was a secret At first
Because
We were dating
And then we broke up
And because we broke up
His friends and mine
Knew very much
So we kept it secret from them
I know what it is
You break up with someone
And you go around
To sort of
Have your mate to console you
And everyone goes
Oh that's okay
I hated that person
I never liked her anyway.
She was a total snob.
And then you're like.
Exactly.
And then you have to break the news to your friends
that you got back together.
And it's very awkward.
Yeah, pretty much.
So how long did you keep it a secret?
A couple months.
Okay.
That's not too bad.
And do you go under a different name now?
Do they just forget about you
and they think you're a different woman now?
No, they're okay now.
It was just, yeah, we had to sneak around a bit from them,
but then they caught us on Snapchat together.
Danielle, Danielle, be honest.
Was it kind of exciting?
It was a little bit, yes.
I knew it.
Yeah, you had your own little secret thing going on.
Lots of texts coming in about age gaps and age differences.
Was the reason people kept it secret?
There's someone that texted through and they said,
I had to hide my relationship from my parents for two and a half years.
When I was staying at a friend's house, it was actually his place.
My mum's sister would help me to go see him.
I was 15 and he was 17.
And my parents forbid me from seeing him because of the age gap.
But your auntie was in on it.
I love that cool auntie vibes, right?
Anonymous.
Oh, an anonymous female.
Hello.
Were you dating someone in secret?
Are you there, anonymous?
Hello?
Hello.
That's you.
Yes, hello.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, a bit of both.
What's happening?
What's going down? It was for a couple of months now,
and I was currently dating my ex's best mate.
You were dating your ex's best...
Best mate.
Oh.
That's sinister.
That is sinister.
So, technically, you haven't done anything wrong here,
and...
It's more the best mate.
It's more the best mate
Doing the dirty on his best friend
How do you think your ex is going to react
When he finds out that you're dating his best mate
To be fair
I couldn't care less
That's fair enough too
That was the best answer
Have you got a really blocked nose
At the moment Anonymous
A massive cold
Oh no Don't go and see your ex's best mate Have you got a really blocked nose at the moment, Anonymous? A mess of cold.
Oh, no.
Don't go and see your ex's best mate tonight.
Let's talk to Charlay.
Hi, Charlay.
Hi, Charlay.
Hi.
Are you dating someone in secret?
No, my best friend was dating my brother.
No way. Without telling you?
Without telling me.
How long?
She accidentally texted me instead of my brother.
Yes.
No.
She's done it.
She spilled the tea on herself.
Charlay, how long were they secretly dating for?
About seven months.
Seven months.
They kept it a secret from you.
Were you angry when you found out?
A little bit, but then I got over it.
And then they said they wouldn't, and then they kept going. So were you angry
that they were dating or were you angry that they didn't tell you?
I was angry that they didn't tell me.
Yeah, I was going to say because
I mean, that's what you, you're angry
that someone lied. But would you have
ever cared that they were dating? Because they obviously didn't tell
you because they thought you'd be pissed off. Would you have ever
cared that your best mate dated your brother?
No, not really. It just would have sucked when they
fought and everything.
I see what you're saying because it's your best friend dated your brother? No, not really. It just would have sucked when they fought and everything. Well, I see what you're saying because it's your best friend
and your brother that you're obviously very close with.
And then if it doesn't work out, it puts a lot of that, you know,
stressing drama onto you.
So I kind of get that.
Yeah.
Has your best mate got any siblings that you can get in on?
No, I've got a partner, sorry.
Oh, okay.
Just checking, you know, just checking, just checking.
This story's everywhere at the moment.
Have you seen the story about the woman
who is a professional cuddler?
Yeah, she does it for a job.
It's quite interesting because I've seen these stories
around for the last however many years.
They make good money cuddling.
She says it's not sexual. No, she said it money cuddling. She says it's not sexual.
No, she said it's... It is
intimacy, but it's not sexual. It's
completely platonic and
non-sexual, but she does a bunch of
different things for clients.
Do you want to hear the different things? Yeah, go on.
She does...
She says she gets a few strange
requests. Some of the
requests she gets are reading books, children's stories, tickle fights.
Yeah.
She said she...
Wait, tickle fights?
Tickle fights.
That's bordering on being sexual.
No, it's not.
Have you seen the David Farrier tickle documentary?
A tickle fight can be not sexual.
Have you ever had a tickle fight with a friend?
No.
No, you haven't.
She's also been asked to wrestle around like a puppy with someone before.
Again.
And she earns $100 per cuddle session.
That's US.
Oh, yeah.
$150.
Yeah, around $150, $180.
Hang on. How long is a session, around $150, $180.
Hang on.
How long is a session, though?
I don't know.
Probably an hour.
Probably not longer than an hour, eh?
Yeah, probably. Pretty good money.
I mean, good cuddle sesh, probably an hour.
Does she offer big spoon, little spoon combos?
Surely, eh?
Probably.
That'd be on the base menu.
What you don't know, Clint, is would you like to try something like this?
Not particularly.
Oh, well, that's awkward because I've enlisted the help of someone here in Auckland
that provides cuddling services.
Is it Ben?
No.
No, no, no.
No offence, Ben, but I don't want to.
I've found this woman.
You and me are more high five here.
It's a woman.
It's a woman.
I found this woman.
She's a professional.
Is she nearly here, Ben?
She has messaged.
We've organised it a few days
ago. She's messaged, she says five minutes
ago, about two minutes. Okay, so let's play
a song. There's a woman coming in to cuddle me.
There is a woman coming in. We need to
play another song and we'll come
back. Two or three minutes, yeah. Okay. Do I
know this woman? No, you don't.
We don't either. But
you're about to. Stick around
while Clint gets a professional cuddling session next.
I'm so uncomfortable already.
I'm going to go meet her.
As a you?
It's not me.
Zed in, Bree and Clint, that's Joel Corey and MNEK Head and Heart.
Just before that song, Bree's not here.
Just before that song, she said she was going to fetch a professional cuddler
to come into the studio to cuddle me,
which I didn't ask for, by the way.
If anyone's wondering if that's what I meant, it is.
Oh, son of a...
It's Brie in a wig.
This is the shonkiest attempt.
This is the shonkiest attempt.
Hello, sir.
I believe your name
is Clint.
Hi. Is it Clint? Alright, alright.
It's bringing a puffer jacket and a wig and some sunglasses,
but I'll play along. Sorry, what was your name?
Clint, hi. Clint, hello.
Clint. My name
is Cheryl.
Sorry, this is just some calming mist I like to use.
I am a professional cuddler.
That's Dettol spray.
I work here in Auckland.
The CBD mainly because obviously people in the offices get very stressed.
Your friend Bree, who obviously cares a lot about you,
hired me to come in and give you a cuddling session.
Obviously, we're on the radio.
I know how it works.
I've been on the radio many times.
So I'm going to give you the sped up version, if that's okay.
Do I have your permission?
Where is Bree?
Where is Bree?
I didn't feel like she wouldn't want to miss this.
She had to go to the bathroom, unfortunately.
But I've given her her own cuddling session and
she loved it. So I'm going to give
you, I don't know why I'm turning English.
How long is the session?
The session will go for
approximately one minute.
I'll just give you the sped up version.
Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready.
Do I have permission to come into
your space? Yeah, I give you
consent.
Okay, so I'm just going to use Do I have permission to come into your space? Yeah, I give you consent. Yeah.
Okay, so I'm just going to use my first technique.
I like to call it cuddling Reiki.
See, I'm just transferring my energy from my arms into you.
Into you.
Into you.
It's in me.
It's in me.
And obviously another service that I provide is tickle fighting.
Tickle fighting.
I'm about to say it if we're on the radio.
Tickle fighting.
Tickle fighting.
And lastly.
Put my bloody headphones out.
What was your name? Cheryl.
And lastly, I provide, obviously, reading a calming story.
Where was the cuddle? You just whacked me and tickled me.
No, that was cuddle reiki.
Right, OK. Not all of us cuddling professionals do the same thing.
OK, yeah, give me my story.
OK.
Once there was a boy named Clint who had an eyebrow piercing.
He then went to the Hokitika Foods Festival.
No, okay, that's enough.
Thank you very much for coming in.
And he had a delicacy.
No, that's fine.
Thank you.
So, can I have my hundred bucks?
It's a hundred bucks a session. It that's fine. Thank you. So can I have my $100? It's $100 a session.
It's Bree who's paying you.
Oh, no, she said you would pay up front.
It's Bree who's paying you for this.
No one would pay for that.
There's nothing in that.
Away I go in a calming mist.
I take PayPal, by the way.
Sometimes I wonder why we didn't win that radio award.
And then other times I'm like, oh, I get it.
I get it.
Free and Clint.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,
that she can do.
Brie and Clint's What's the Plot?
Our movie guessing game where you take Brie on
and whoever gets two movie plots first wins the game.
The money goes up every week that Brie wins.
She is on the verge of 12 wins in a row,
and for that reason, we're playing for $600 cash.
It's getting up there.
It's more than half.
Today, taking you on is Petra.
Hi, Petra.
Hi, Petra.
Hi.
Now, before I reveal the category, got any kids?
No.
Got any nieces or nephews?
No.
Do you enjoy animated movies?
Yeah.
Okay, you're in with a shot.
Today's theme is classic cartoon movies.
I'm a big fan of cartoon films.
Your buzzers are your names.
The first to two correct plots takes out the win.
And there's 600 bucks if it's you, Petra, good luck.
Don't wait for me
to finish the plot
movie number one
raised by a different
family to his own
since birth
our main character
must leave
the only home
he's ever known
when a fearsome
animal
unleashes chaos
the jungle book
the jungle book
but is it
the jungle book Jungle Book. But is it? The Jungle Book is correct.
Could have been Tarzan though, eh?
Could have been.
I thought that as soon as I said it.
Could have been Tarzan.
Okay, Petro, you got this, okay?
Movie number two.
Our main character is inventive, resourceful,
and is always messing things up for his family.
His latest mishap was destroying the food stores for the entire...
Bree, A Bug's Life.
A Bug's Life.
That's right!
Is it?
I know that movie,
Back to France. Unfortunately for
you, Brie,
A Bug's Life has a very similar
plotline to
no other movie, that's correct. Yes!
Sorry, Petra, you can't take
Brie down this week. Sorry, Petra.
Thanks, guys. You get 50
KFC chicken dollars for playing, but you
don't get the title or the $600.
So there you go.
That's all right.
That's all right.
God, you had me big time.
I was like, what other movie is this?
I was going to go, no, it's Ant Man.
What's the block returns next week when we all play for $650 cash?
How good?
Brie and Clint.
Then how cute are old dogs?
I love old dogs. How good. Brie and Clint. Then how cute are old dogs? I love old dogs.
Old dogs.
Hard to rehome because most people want a puppy.
They want a full lifetime with a dog, right?
Yeah, and then, you know, they don't want to go through that grief
of becoming attached to the dog and then they pass away.
I don't want to get it if it's just going to die.
An animal rescue centre in the United States has come up with quite a clever way to try
and find older dogs their new forever home.
The way they're doing that is they're advertising the dogs that they have available as if they
were used cars.
So they're taking everything we've learnt from the last, I don't know, what, 50 years
of selling old dunga cars
and jazzing them up like they're something good.
Okay, what's the ad sound like?
Okay, let me give it.
I'm going to give you a live reading of this, okay?
Okay.
So this is a Facebook post, and this is how I hear it when I read it.
Senior dog blowout sale.
Are you in the market for a new best friend?
Well, what we can do to get you matched up Are you in the market for a new best friend?
Well, what we can do to get you matched up with a certified used dog?
Want to know what we can do to get you certified with a used dog?
We've got dogs with one eye.
We've got dogs with no teeth.
We've got blind dogs.
We've got bald dogs. We've got dogs with skin issues.
And we've got paralyzed dogs.
This is real, by the way.
What's the gas mileage?
Our dog.
Are our dogs slow moving?
You bet they are.
Do our dogs love a nap?
It's their absolute best favorite thing.
Are our dogs healthy?
Not at all.
Will our dogs provide love and affection for the remaining months, years of their lives?
We guarantee it.
These pre-owned pups might need more frequent tune-ups,
but they will pay you back in love and stinky-ass kisses.
They've even gone to the effort of doing artwork for the dogs
that they have available, like their second-hand cars.
Have a look at some of these.
This dog that you can see here is Dylan, 2006, one owner.
Needs frequent washes, but has a very clean interior on Dylan. Oh, one owner. Needs frequent washes
but has a very clean interior
on Dylan.
Oh, he's adorable.
This is Coco.
This is a 2007 model.
Only one headlight
because one of her eyes is missing.
She's got bald tyres
but she's very fuel efficient.
Doesn't eat much at all, you know.
This is so smart.
This is Fluffy.
Fluffy is a 2005 model.
Only makes right turns.
Well, that's a little bit dangerous on the roads.
May have a few mechanical issues.
I don't think she's roadworthy.
This is Jake.
Jake's also a 2005 model.
Jake's hood doesn't close.
Oh, well, you're not going to get a woof with that, are you?
His hood doesn't close.
His tongue won't go back into his mouth.
And he only has one speed that he operates at,
which is very, very slow.
And this is Cheez-It.
Cheez-It is a 2007 model,
which going by some of these dogs,
it's a very, it's a late model dog, 2007.
Runs great, clean interior.
This dog is not kid-friendly.
Right, so it's more like a convertible
yeah
yeah yeah yeah
it's more of a midlife crisis dog
yeah
convertible
yeah
so there you go
that's a different way of
you know
coming at the old dog thing
I'd love to see the SPCA
try something like that
it's so cute
there was one recently
in New Zealand
where they gave them all
RuPaul's Drag Race names
drag dogs
drag dogs
yeah yeah kind of the same as these dogs drag race dogs New Zealand where they gave them all RuPaul's Drag Race names. Drag Dogs. Drag Dogs. Yeah.
Kind of the same as these dogs.
Drag Race Dogs.
Drag Race Dogs. There we go.
Bree and Clint. Look, I promised
and I will warn
you, it is quite a dark story.
Yeah. Do you feel like I should
still do the story? Because it is
quite dark. You said it's dark, but it's wholesome.
It's dark, but yes, it is wholesome but very dark.
Does it have a happy ending?
Yes.
Okay, then tell the story.
Okay.
So this is a story from a user on Twitter
who started posting a story back on June 9th
and this is how it starts.
He writes, story uh back on june 9th and this is how it starts he writes my dad died classic start to a funny story i was gonna say whoa okay so i told you it's dark yeah he was buried in a small village
in sussex i was really close to my dad so i visited his grave a lot i still do in brackets
don't worry it gets funnier i always took flowers and my mum visited a lot
and she always took flowers and my grandparents did too.
My dad's grave frequently resembled a solid third place
at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Yeah, nice.
He then goes on to say,
it is nice but I felt bad for the guy buried next to my dad.
He never had any flowers.
He died on Christmas Day, age 37.
No one left him flowers,
and now there's a pop-up florist in the grave next door,
so I started buying him flowers.
I started buying flowers for a deceased man I'd never met.
I did this for quite some time,
but I never mentioned it to anyone.
It was a little private joke with myself.
I was making the world a better place one bunch of flowers at a time.
I wondered if there was a hidden connection between me and this man.
Maybe we went to the same school, played for the same football club
or whatever.
So I Googled his name and 10 seconds later I found him.
Turns out he had actually murdered a few people.
Whoa.
You've been giving flowers to a murderer.
Yes, including his wife and his wife's parents.
After that, I soon...
You're right.
That story is funny.
It's very grim.
But don't worry.
Hold on.
It gets better now.
After that, of course no one was going to deliver flowers to him.
No.
But I had been doing this for two and a half years.
I felt terrible for his wife and her parents.
Now I wasn't going to leave them flowers.
Now I wanted to leave them flowers every couple of weeks
for two and a half years.
And then he says, I found out where they were buried,
bought flowers and drove to the cemetery.
As I was standing at their graves, mumbling apologies,
a woman appeared behind me.
She wanted to know who I was and why I was leaving flowers at her aunt and grandparents' grave.
Right.
I explained and she said, okay, that's weird, but kind of sweet.
I said, thanks.
Yes, it is a bit weird.
And I asked her out for a drink.
Incredibly, she said yes.
Two years later, she said yes again.
And when I asked her to marry me, she said yes again.
Right.
That's how I met my wife.
Weird.
How strange is that love story?
Yeah.
You said wholesome.
But it is because they met each other at the end of it.
At a grave.
At a grave of murdered people.
She'd lost people and he'd lost someone
but then they found each other
because they'd lost.
Yeah, they bonded over grief, I guess.
You're right.
It's like,
you've seen Ricky Gervais' Afterlife?
Yes.
It's like, you know how he makes
that best friend in the cemetery?
Yes.
Because he's visiting his wife
and she's visiting her husband.
You would never have met
unless you had experienced that loss.
Yeah.
Yeah, their relationship has a dark origin story. But yeah, you're right. I'm glad they found each other. She's visiting her husband. You would never have met unless you had experienced that loss. Yeah. Yeah.
Their relationship has a dark origin story.
But yeah, you're right.
I'm glad they found each other.
They're married now and they're happy.
Yeah, good.
Yeah.
I told you it was dark.
I warned you.
I warned you.
But also, very interesting story as to how they met.
It's like that line in the movie Wedding Crashers
when Will Ferrell goes, grief is a hell of an aphrodisiac.
That's terrible.
You're encouraging people to go meet people in a cemetery with that story.
No, I'm not.
But what I'm trying to say is,
is that if these two people can meet in that circumstance,
maybe you can meet people in other circumstances
other than Tinder or Bumble.
Right, yeah.
Or at a bar.
And some stories...
Think outside the box.
Yeah, but...
Think outside the box.
Like the local cemetery.
Yeah.
I would love to hear from people
whose relationship has like a weird origin story or
what you're unusual in movies they call it a meet cute you know the moment where you and the you and
the other person cross paths and the reason that brought you guys together is odd it's not like
you got set up on a blind date or something it shouldn't have been romantic but for some reason
it was the right thing for you guys you know how my brother met someone one time how he was at a
coffee shop and they called out his name
when his coffee was ready and this girl
had the same name as him
and they both grabbed the same
coffee at the same time. See that sounds like a
Reese Witherspoon movie. I know. I wish
it had worked out because what a great story
at their wedding. Yeah. But no sadly
it didn't. And kind of weird that they had
the same name. Yeah.
Also your brother's got a new girlfriend now
and he wouldn't have got her.
See?
Wholesome.
Wholesome.
Oh, $800 at him.
Did you meet your partner in an unusual way?
Is that what we want to do?
Yeah.
Okay.
Where did you meet?
You can also text us on 9696.
We'd love to hear your meet cute stories this afternoon.
And they can be as dark as you like?
Yeah.
Okay.
Dark, wholesome, weird, we'll take all of them.
Bree and Clint.
So you and your partner have an unusual or different meet cute story.
Yeah.
The moment you met someone.
Yeah.
And what are we not counting?
In a bar.
Yeah.
That's pretty standard.
On dating apps.
On a kontiki.
On a kontiki.
Love a kontiki.
But it's not unusual.
It's not unusual.
In fact, it's unusual if you don't meet someone on a kontiki.
So those three things we're not taking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you've got a great story about how you guys got together
and it's your origin story.
It might be a little bit dark like the one you just said
about people who met at a cemetery. but that's fine if it is.
I love those stories.
If it's interesting, we want to hear it, so let's start with Amanda.
Hi, Amanda.
Hi, Amanda.
Hello there.
How did you meet your partner?
I was on holiday at a resort with some friends
and we were having a great time and we decided we would go out kayaking one day
and we're heading over to another island and the weather got rough and a couple of us were in a
canoe together and we fell out and so we were thinking oh dear this isn't good and anyway some
people on the other island saw that things weren't going very well for us
and came and rescued us.
And one of the guys that pulled us out of the water is now my husband.
That is the best made cute story.
Your husband literally saved your life.
He was like your hero.
Yeah, that's right.
He reminds me of that.
Isn't that amazing? You guys must have had your honeymoon on that island. Surely you went back to Fiji. Fiji's your hero. Yeah, that's right. He reminds me of that. Isn't that amazing? You guys must
have had your honeymoon on that island. Surely
you went back to Fiji. Fiji's your place.
Yes, very much so.
I mean, and he is Fijian, so
that's... Oh, even better.
Yeah, exactly.
That's so cool. So he would have been on the island.
He probably lives there. He would have gone, oh, bloody
tourists. Yeah. Bloody
tourists in their bloody kayaks.
I'll go and have to save this stupid woman.
And then he's like, actually, I love this stupid woman.
That's a movie moment, Amanda.
You're very lucky.
Thank you, Amanda.
Let's talk to Aisling.
Hey, Aisling.
Hi.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
What's your meet cute moment?
So about 11 years ago, I was really, really drunk
and I was just
in Kings Cross
in Sydney. Yes,
the Coca-Cola sign.
Yeah, the one in Kings Cross,
like the one that's still there. Yes, we know the sign.
Yep.
So anyway, I've seen
this guy with a chicken bucket
and I ran over to him, so I ate this chicken bucket and I ran over to him and said,
I'd eat this chicken bucket.
And Littleton, like to the two of us,
we were actually waiting for the same friend
and it was a girl from Ireland
and they actually lived on the same street.
Wait, so you, yeah, sorry, yeah, go on.
So 11 years later, we're married and we have a kid together.
You just accidentally happened to be waiting for the same person
and you didn't know each other.
Yeah, that's good.
That's crazy.
Also, love hearing people with Irish accents talk about times they were drunk.
Yeah, me too.
It's a good time.
Yeah, he'd bloody kill me if he knew I was on the radio.
I love that.
Thanks for sharing.
Someone texts through, this text is crazy.
Someone said, my meet cute story.
I was texting a guy and we'd planned to meet up that night,
but he'd chopped off his toe with a chainsaw while he was on the phone to me.
Right.
We still met up.
Wait, wait, wait.
Who chainsaws on the phone?
I don't know.
Probably not the best chainsawing activity.
Chainsawing is a two-handed activity.
Anyway, carry on.
Obviously, that's why he cut off his toe
um she said we still met up except it was fresh out of surgery and he was all drugged up
i came back um every day to wheel him out for a ciggy and sneak him some refreshments
five years later we're still going strong love that that's cute love that uh let's talk to jess
hi jess hi jess Yep. How are you?
Good.
Good, thanks, Jess.
How did you meet your partner in a weird way?
Yeah, well, me and my ex-fiancee, we used to go to the kebab shop,
and the guy that used to make us kebabs, we slowly became friends,
and I fell in love with him.
You fell in love with the guy that was making kebabs for you and your ex?
Well, yeah.
To be honest.
Seven years later, we're going strong.
To be honest, Jess, I can really relate
to that because I fall in love with
the person that makes my kebabs every
drunken night out too.
You put that garlic
sauce on there.
You put back some garlic.
You put in their yogurt.
What is your kebab of choice, by the way?
Definitely a donut kebab, but back in Australia,
you can get it with like sour cream and barbecue sauce
and like a million different pieces of salad.
True blue, ridgy didge, mate.
And if you ask them nicely, you can marry the kebab guy.
Exactly.
Australia's a weird place, man.
You can get it all.
Brie and Clint. It's my Exactly. Australia's a weird place, man. You can get it all. Free and Clint.
Okay.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Free and Clint's birthday banger.
Right, the number one songs on your guys' 16th birthdays.
Which one are we going to play today?
Look, some people were calling our decision-making processes
into question yesterday.
I disagree.
I think we're rock solid.
But you know, these things are hard.
It's very hard to please everybody with this feature.
No, but I like to...
It's good to be kept honest, though.
I like to be kept honest and kept on our toes.
So that's good.
We welcome that feedback.
And please always send it in.
Let's start with Tim.
Hi, Tim.
G'day, Tim.
G'day, how you doing?
Good, mate.
You're going to give us such a good birthday banger
that it's not even going to be a question what song we play.
I can feel it in my bones, Tim.
What's your birthday?
My birthday, 26th of May, 1989.
Right, Tim, you were 16 in 2005 on the 26th of May,
and the mid-2000s brought us this number one hit.
See, I told you, Tim.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in Switch.
You can't complain.
You can't complain.
Tim, you got an absolute banger.
Absolutely.
From the movie Hitch?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, Switch from Hitch.
Okay, wait there, Tim.
Let's go to Melissa.
Hi, Melissa.
G'day, Mel.
Hi there, how's it going?
Your birthday banger is going to be so good
that it's going to blow Tim's out of the water.
We're not even going to remember Tim's after yours.
What's your birthday?
My birthday is the 15th of June, 1981.
All right, Mel, you were 16 in 1997 on the 15th of June.
Let's take you back there, Mel.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Possibly one of the most annoying songs from the 90s.
And it used to be my sister's favourite.
Yeah.
Me too, Mel.
Is this pre-YouTube Baby Shark?
Yes.
Probably.
It's up there, eh?
It's in the Newstown Register.
And yet, I'm here for it.
I'm voting for that over Switch if it's out of those two.
I've got to see what our girl Tracy,
because I've got a feeling, Tracy,
like you have the winner here this afternoon.
Oh, hi, Trace.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks, Trace.
I feel it in my waters.
What's your birthday?
7th of June, 1971.
Right, you were 16 in 1987 on the 7th of June.
And, Tracey, here it is, your birthday banger.
Oh, I want to dance with somebody.
Woo!
I want to be in the heat with somebody.
The tide must be in because Bree's waters are correct.
That time of the month, Trace, and that's my vote.
Tracey, Tracey, that's a bloody good birthday banger.
And there's no way I'm standing in the way of that.
You have just won birthday banger with a unanimous decision.
Congratulations.
Awesome.
Thank you.
You've got to do it, Trace.
Thank you for bringing this absolute gem to the table.
Brian Clint, ZM.
That's all time, that song.
That is a great.
It's the winner of Birthday Banger
From Whitney Houston
Beating Will Smith and Handsome
Like
How do you top a song like that?
So good
Yeah it's feel good vibes
And that's what I like about this feature too
It turns up some stuff like that
And it turns up some like
Some stinkers too
Which is fun as well
I know
This is absolute
What have we played this week?
We've played Baby Bash
I love that song
We've played Montel Jordan
That was great
We've played Whitney Houston
What's the last one?
I can tell you actually
What was the last song?
And the Lord asked me what I did with my life
I will say
Oh Sierra Goodies Oh yeah We've played some absolute pearlers this week Lord, ask me what I did with my life. I will say.
Oh, Sierra Goodies.
Oh, yeah.
We've played some absolute pearlers this week.
Don't question our logic, okay?
What about last week?
We played Mo Money Mo Problems. Yeah, it's good.
Yeah, it's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
Bree and Clint.
Look, you are someone who struggles with hay fever.
Bless you.
It wasn't.
Cover your mouth next time.
Again.
Cover your mouth.
It's not me.
But yes, I am.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So am I, actually.
You and I both have our struggles with hay fever.
Look, I feel like I'm always allergic to either the season or the cats.
So much so that I wonder what I would look like.
Am I actually this puffy or am I just always reacting to something?
Like if I was in somewhere where I wasn't allergic to anything,
like a sterile room, would my face go down?
Would I look different?
Who knows?
So what are you allergic to?
Cats. Cats.
Pollen. Pollen.
And that's about it. I think I've figured
out what I'm allergic to
and it's flared up a lot in the last
couple of years or three years or so.
I'm allergic to bullshit and I'm around
you a lot so it gets
quite, you know, it gets quite, I see
I'm sneezing again.
It gets quite bad.
You think it's bad for you?
It gets quite horrible.
You know what you need?
An anti-shitster mask.
Yeah, I do.
Big time.
There's some good news.
Right.
Because there's an article out today which talks about a discovery
that scientists have made in Iran
and they have discovered a link between something in our bodies
and the nasal system.
Okay.
That's going to help people if they do this one thing.
Iranian scientists have cured hay fever?
Yes.
Okay.
Are you, obviously someone who struggles a lot with hay fever,
willing to give this a go?
As long as I don't...
You don't have to put up my bum, do you?
No.
Okay, so...
Maybe sometimes.
It's not a suppository.
It can be.
Depends.
Depends who you're talking to.
Yeah, I'll give it a go.
Tonight.
Look at my eyes.
They're watering right now.
Tonight?
You promised to give this a go tonight.
Yes, I'll give it a go tonight.
Shake on it. No, no, this makes I'll give it a go. You promised to give this a go tonight. Yes, I'll give it a go tonight. Shake on it.
No, no, this makes me think that it's bad.
It's not bad.
Trust me.
I promise you it's not bad.
I'll do it tonight.
I'll do it tonight.
We've shaken on it.
Scientists have said that sex is the key.
Right. They say that it's linked and that it helps with relieving
all types of hay fever symptoms.
Right, right.
Okay.
So we better go because, I mean, it's nearly past your bedtime.
Don't worry, I don't need that long.
Look, I shook on it.
I'm keen.
I want you to try it and then report back.
Oh, don't worry, I shook on it. I'm keen. I want you to try it and then report back. Oh, don't worry, I'll have some.
I just can't guarantee it'll be with anyone else.
Yeah, I was going to say, your wife probably won't be there.
How does that work for hay fever?
Yeah, right?
Because I should be immune.
I don't know if you like me, but I do love a TV fail.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, you do like it.
You do like it.
And I've got another one for you this afternoon.
And this is from a new – this is brand new,
this British news channel.
It's new and it was only launched on Sunday, June 13th.
Okay.
Which is –
Do we need more news channels?
I don't know.
But anyway –
I feel like they're entering a very populated market.
Yeah, yeah.
But the presenters have already fallen victim
to one of the oldest tricks in the book.
Right.
So they were doing a call-in,
you know, where people can obviously email in
and have their say or tweet or whatever.
And someone with a certain name has apparently emailed in...
Oh, no.
...about a certain topic...
Okay.
...and they read it out.
Take a listen.
Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, in fact, even having a stroke.
And Mike Oxlong has emailed me saying that he agrees with me.
He says he thinks it's absolutely the responsibility of parents
to make sure their children have a healthy diet.
Mike Oxlong.
Wait, it gets better.
Thank you for your input, Mike.
It gets better.
Because there was further discussion about some other things
and another guy has emailed through and take a listen.
I just, I can't find anybody.
Mike Hunt has got in touch about toys.
I don't think kids need expensive toys.
My children have the opportunity to just go outside after school
and play outdoors.
I mean, Mike.
Don't.
Last name.
Last name.
Hunt.
And she.
Do you reckon he knows Mr Oxlong?
I think they're related.
Bree and Clint.
Sorry, I've got the giggles now.
I mean, it's confusing.
The words, one word swallow in the sentence and you're all over the place.
Yeah, it's that and then a humpback.
It's so close together.
You can't put a hump, swallow, and don't let a sperm whale swim into this conversation either.
No, it's not good.
A man in the US has claimed he was swallowed by a humpback whale.
Right.
He's described his shocking ordeal.
He's a lobster diver.
His name's Michael Packard.
It's not Moby Dick.
No, not Moby Dick.
Wait, Moby Dick was the whale, wasn't it?
Moby Dick was the whale.
Anyway, this story's gone absolutely global.
It's everywhere.
He didn't get swallowed by a humpback whale.
Well, this guy's claiming that he has.
Really?
Do you want to hear his account?
Yeah.
This is lobster diver Michael Packard who says he was swallowed by a humpback whale.
Everything went black and all I could feel was just muscle and skin all
around me. It was like, did I just get bit by
a shark or... No,
it's not a shark. I'm in a whale's
mouth. You figured that out while
you're inside the whale. Yes. And then
all of a sudden I saw light,
white water everywhere.
All of a sudden I was thrown
from his mouth. He was shaking
his head, trying to eject me out of his mouth.
Didn't like the taste of him.
You don't want to be ejected from the humpback.
This humpback spits, not swallows.
You know how he got out?
How?
How?
How?
He gave the whale enough warning.
No, no.
You know how he got out?
Al.
Through the blowhole.
He didn't get out of the blowhole.
He wasn't in the whale.
He wasn't in the whale.
He's claiming he was.
All right.
He claims that he was.
