The ZM Podcast Network Hello everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast where I'm on two coffees for the day and it's only 9am Yeah, you can tell Two coffees Two double shots or? Oh yeah Well one was an instant but it was two scoops of Mekona Two scoops

Two scoops Is there actually coffee in that? In Mekona? Yeah Yeah, it's got mer-im What? There's coffee in there M In Makona? Yeah It's got merim What? There's coffee in there Makona heft merim

I'm going to just be real honest to the point on today's podcast Constipated No It's okay, it's that change of shift Actually the opposite at the moment A little bit of spitty bum I learnt more than I wanted to about you just then I also learnt more about constipation than I wanted to over the Christmas holidays.

Did you? Yeah, children. Were you constipated? No, children. No, you can tell me. What does it feel like? It's the worst feeling. I think I had it.

I had constipation over the holidays, probably from eating too much rich food. No, talk to me as the constipation expert on the show now. It's water. Because you get constipated. No, because I had to help people who were little people. Like you. It's water. What's water?

You didn't have enough water. You were dehydrated. No, I think it was the eight pieces of lasagna I ate over four days. Along with the lack of water. And because it's hotter, you're more dehydrated than you realize. That's true. And you know the first place your body takes water from when it's dehydrated?

Your butthole. Your intestine. Yeah, I was like, where? Where else? Your booty. Anyway, sorry, you want to be real honest with us? No, I want to be real honest. That's not what you wanted to say? I was talking to you this morning before the show and I was just saying that I feel really

overwhelmed at the moment. Like I feel real overwhelmed and stressed and anxious. Which is not good four days into the year to already be feeling like that. It's not. But a part of that is because of just all the different things I've got going on at the moment. I said to you, I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to make some changes.

But why do we do that to ourselves? Where I'll say yes to all these things and then i'm like too much yeah but it's my own fault because i said yes that's interesting this is probably too deep but i'll tell you why i think it is for people like us because we think that if we like it's not going to be there forever so we just say yes to everything correct yeah well we both and and when you And when you're from a working class background, like when you were raised, not wealthy, like we both had great childhoods, but we were not raised wealthy. Not wealthy at all. You are kind of, I think, conditioned to be like, I have to make this money now.

Work as hard as you can. Because what if it's not there tomorrow? Yeah. And there's merit to that, but also it gets you trapped in this loop of you sign up to everything. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And you're very good at what you do. So there's lots of offers that come through,

but what you're not good at and what I'm not good at is saying no. When you do say no, do you feel regret? Yes. I had to say no to something yesterday and I still am like, oh, maybe I can squeeze it in. You definitely did the right thing, but there'll be a period in three weeks where you have

some free time and you'll go, oh, I could have done that thing. I could have done that thing. I'm just a constant workaholic. I think I get it from my dad and I think a part of it is because I worked so hard for so long in like the early stages of my career when it wasn't a career but to just have an opportunity to do some of these things.

Like six or seven years where I was like, someone give me an opportunity. I just want to do it. Worked my ass off and no one ever would. And then finally, like I get to this point where i'm like i just need to do everything because this is what i always wanted and i right you know what i mean and i'm kind of like just so grateful for any opportunity i just do them all yeah but you got to remember that that was past you you know like you were needing all those opportunities because that's what you wanted but you're here now and i still have, yeah I get what you're saying I think what you need to do

is probably become a bit more of a diva and be like, no Oh my god, I would love to see Diva Bree Can you be Diva Bree tomorrow? Diva Bree needs to be on the show tomorrow I'm not getting out of bed for less than $15,000 I'll have your smoothie on the table when you get here

I'm always the person people call when they know if they need someone to do it cheap because I'll be like. I'll have your smoothie on the table when you get here. I'm always the person people call when they know they want, if they need someone to do it cheap because I'll be like, I'll do it. Bring it. There's no money. I'll pay you. I'll pay you if you let me do it. You know what it is?

Like I've got, I think I suffer from such bad imposter syndrome. Like I'm emceeing at this big event tomorrow night. And even though I've done stuff like it before and I've worked in this industry and I've done TV, I still in my mind go, I'm not good enough. I shouldn't be there. I can't do it. Like I just don't believe that I'm good enough to be there. So it's so much extra stress.

And why do I feel like that? But you acknowledging it means that you're getting better at it and that you're working through it. Even just being able to identify it in yourself As the start of it So you'll get there I get like that every time Even we do Treasure Island

Which I've done so many times I'm always like I'm going to fuck this up I'm not Why am I here Why do they keep bringing me back Have you thought about CBD gummies Oh my auntie works at a place

You could Actually Can you get those in New Zealand yet This is me being stupid, by the way. I don't know if they have. I've never had one. This might be such a gimmicky thing, but I saw this thing on TikTok the other day,

and it looks like a vibrator. That's what it looks like. Have you tried that? Many times. Stress relief. But it looks kind of like that, but it's this thing you hold in your hand, and it sends pulses through your hand, and it's meant to calm you.

I've heard about that. Some people use it to fall asleep. I think it might be... Scam. Sounds like baloney. But a gimmick. But I want to try it anyway. Yeah.

It's like that guy, what's the guy's name on MasterChef, one of the judges that... Oh, he has the anxiety beads. The anxiety beads. And they look like rosary beads. Have you noticed what I do when we do the show? You twirl your headphone cord. Constantly.

Yes, I do see that. Have you noticed? Yeah, I constantly do it. I ruin cords because I'm just constantly having to like. For ginning. Yeah, and it's because of like, you know. Back to the bit where Ella said her mum, her auntie can get us CBD.

Well, how do we breeze over that? She works at a clinic, like a cannabis medical clinic. So you'd need a book. A script? It's expensive because it's not like, you know. You need a script? What if Bree does a post on her Instagram about it? Yeah.

Look, I'll ask her. And I give some away. Hashtag add. Hashtag add. But I charge people for it. Yeah, that's fine. But I tried this thing. It doesn't get you cooked or anything.

It just calms you. Where's your prescription? I mean, you didn't need a prescription for it. This was another thing. Anyway, I'm digging. When we were in LA chasing Tatum, speaking of CBD jellies. It's legal there. And Ellie on the telly, our old producer,

we shared a room together. I remember this one night she was like, should we walk down to this cannabis, because it's legal. And she's like, should we walk down to this cannabis store and buy some CBD gummies? And I was like, alright. So we walked down and we bought all these CBD products and they were amazing. Did you have

some? I think I had a couple. But then she, I was like, why did you buy all this stuff? We can't take it back with us. And she was like, yes, I'm going to have to do them now. I can take them back inside me. Oh, that sounds like she's smuggling them. I mean eat them. Hey, isn't it funny that if you swallow like a bag full of stuff,

you know how smugglers do that. But then if you swallow them just to ingest stuff, you know how smugglers do that, but then if you swallow them just to ingest them, can you get done for that? Oh, right. No. You can't because I guess it won't show up on the x-ray. The bag is what shows up on the x-ray, hey? Yeah.

I think so, yeah. Well, that's the thing. There's a bag. I think they very rarely find it inside you if it's in bags too. And you know how dangerous that is? But it's dangerous. It's so incredibly dangerous.

You can suffocate or the bag can burst. Always smuggle things up your bum. No, this guy did do this. I heard on Love Island this guy referred to up his bum as his prison pocket. His prison pocket? Oh, that's not true. It was the host of Love Island said that the host of love island the narrator oh right i was like the new host that woman said that on her first day i don't think so

i don't think so she's an angel i wonder if she has imposter syndrome most women do most most people do most people do in all people do. In all industries. Do you girls have it? Yep. Yeah. It's more like pinch me, I can't believe I have this job, or so anyone could do way better job at it. That's what it is.

That's imposter syndrome. I've thought that my entire career. Crap. I don't think it'll ever go away. Yeah, because when we do, I was talking to Claudia about it the other day, when we were doing brainstorms and stuff, I'm like, oh, like think of ideas, and then then you don't and then you're like, oh, someone else could do this.

You suck. Yeah. You suck. You never have any good ideas. Yeah. That little voice inside your head is so powerful and important. Like you actually have to talk nicely to yourself. You know what I've kind of learned over the years is,

especially because there's been a few times where I've needed to believe in myself or else it would have all went to shit, is you need to block out that inner voice most of the time but be able to recognise when it's important that you have to listen to it. Yeah. There's a big difference. But there's a big difference between the voice in your head and your gut. Those are two different feelings. No, I'm talking between the voice in your head and your gut. Those are two different feelings.

No, I'm talking about the voice in your head. Because there's some times where the voice in your head is actually saying the right thing. But that's a gut feeling, isn't it? Don't you think? I don't know. I listened to this podcast with Paul Henry the other day, the New Zealand broadcaster, who Ella laughs. Sorry, sorry.

I just haven't heard of paul henry for so long he is he's had a lot of controversies but he is arguably one of new zealand's most successful broadcasters of all time and they said to him do you get nervous before you go and do something important before you interview anybody important before you broadcast anything major and this is probably good for you he goes only if i put expectations on myself of how i'm going to do right because then the the nervousness in the and the anxiety comes from the disconnect from how i thought i would perform or how i wanted to perform and how i actually performed and so the the issue is that space in between whereas if you just go into and you go i'm going

to do what i do they've hired me to do what I do. That's what they're going to get. That's what they're going to get. And that's the outcome you're going to achieve. And you perform better because you don't have all of those expectations on yourself. Isn't it funny? The first season I ever did of Treasure Island, I mean, I was nervous, yes,

because I didn't know what to expect. I'd never done TV before. But all in all, like during the filming of that season I was so relaxed and just had so like a lot of fun whereas like because I feel like there was then something to compare it to going into the other

there was a level of success to reachieve and I was like shit shit shit like you know and I think it's so hard like you're so right you should just be you can't control everything. All you can do is show up with a good attitude, not hung over, not on the CBD gummies, and put your best foot forward.

That's what they've hired you to do. They haven't hired you to, in these jobs, they haven't hired you to achieve a new personal best. They've hired you to do what they know you're capable of doing. But sometimes I'm like, do they know what they're hiring? Yeah. I don't know. Are you sure, Russ?

Are you sure? Sometimes I just email back, are you sure? Well, very stressed Brie is flying to Christchurch tonight to work in Christchurch tomorrow. So you'll be in a different studio to us tomorrow morning.

Yes. Wish me luck. So if anyone's got weed chocolates in Christchurch, she's staying at the... We talk a lot of shit for people who don't really do that stuff. What do you mean? What?

Let's go. See ya. I'm coming in. Well, howdy, pilgrim. A little afternoon delight in the morning. It's Zed-In's Brain Clench. It's about downtime. Yeah, and when we say afternoon delight, you know what we're talking about.

Turkish delight. Nah. What? Why are you touching your nipples? Oh, you'll learn when you're older. Don't worry about it. Morning, everybody. Welcome to the show. It's Bree and Clint. First of all, let's deal with that Qantas flight. Bree's now terrified. She has to go on a plane today to Christchurch. So from what I can tell, passengers on a Qantas flight from Sydney to Auckland, while it was

over the Tasman Sea, they all heard a really loud bang. Mechanical fault. And then they called, there was a mayday call from the plane. No, no, no. And they had to make an emergency landing here in Auckland. That's what I know about it. But everybody's fine. I don't want to talk about it. I've already got a fear of flying. Yeah, but you're not flying Qantas.

I flew Qantas when I went home for Christmas, didn't I? Well, why'd you do that? You can't even use your Coru membership on Qantas. Oh, have you got a Qantas frequent flyers lounge pass? Are you part of the President's Club or whatever it's called? I wish. I wish I was. Are you in the Qantas lounge?

No. Second of all, let's deal with Lotto. Every single member of the team got swept up in the $23 million hype yesterday and bought a ticket. You bought a ticket, Bree? Yes, I bought it. Where did you buy it? Online. And how'd you go?

Not even a bonus ticket for me. Loser. Claudia and Ella, our producers, went halves in a ticket. Let's just say we didn't walk away empty-handed. Did you not? No. Bonus ticket. Bonus ticket.

Bonus ticket. That's so risky, going halves in a ticket. They're pissed off at me because the $23 million was won last night from someone who bought a ticket where, Claudia? At the Countdown in Auckland City. That's where you were going to buy a ticket yesterday. That's where I was going to go, and then one of you were like, no, just buy it online.

Not me. Don't put that on me. I think you'll find as a good New World ambassador, I tried to steer you to New World instead of Countdown. I was like, go to New World, it's closer. And you could have been buying your ticket from the winning lotto store. Yeah, you owe me $23 million. I've done that before.

I've bought a ticket from the store that sold the $27 million ticket, which was the biggest one in the country at the time. And when it came out that the ticket was sold there before I checked mine, I was convinced. I called my mum to tell her. I was like, hey, I'm just driving home. I've got a really strong feeling it's me. I've got a really, really strong feeling

because it was quite a small lotto store. It was quite like a... Clearly it wasn't. You're like, I would be the only person that bought a ticket for the $27 million draw. Everybody in our group bought a ticket from there. And so we were messaging them. We think it could be us.

We have a really strong feeling it could be us. Have I ever told you about the time where I legit thought I'd won the lotto and I was on air, on radio? No. It was my very first year in radio, right? Yeah. And so I was very green. Wasn't used to watching your back for pranks like we are, obviously, in radio, right? Yeah. And so I was very green. Wasn't used to, you know, watching your back for pranks like we are,

obviously, in radio. And I bought a ticket and it was a $50 million draw in Aussie. So I bought a ticket. That's cruel. And it was a physical ticket. And my co-host at the time was like, he'd looked at the ticket I had, written down the numbers, and he was like, let's check our tickets on air.

It'll be fun. Let's check them on air. And he started reading out the numbers, and I was like crossing them off the top of my list. And I was like, oh, my God. And legit thought, the audio is so embarrassing where I, you can hear in my voice where my voice cracks, where I'm legit convinced I have just won the lotto.

Now, though, can you even believe that you fell for that? These days, I'd be like, there's no way. There's no way. There's no way. But because I was so new, I should see if I can find it. If you can find it, we should play that. Oh, it is embarrassing. We'll play that. That's good. I'll see if I can find it. If you can find it, I'd love to. We should play that. I'll see if I can find it. Oh, it is embarrassing. We'll play that. That's good.

I'll see if I can find it. Hey, if you're the $23 million lotto winner, we'd love to hear from you this morning. Why don't you give us a call? What are you going to do this morning? Yeah. What does your day look like? Hey, we're going to start with Tradie vs. Lady. If you'd like to play and take on a tradie or a lady and win $50 cash, you can call us

right now. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint, filling in for Fletch, Fawn and Hayley, it's time for Tradie vs Lady. Bree and Clint, Tradie vs Lady. So, so far this year, three games, the tradies have taken out all three. If the tradies win two more in a row, that's a down trail. Yeah, for the week. The ladies of New Zealand

have to pull down their pants and walk around and do a lap of the table. I don't think HR would be happy with that. It's not HR in your own house. Oh, in your own house. There's an HR officer. So we play this game at 10 past six in the morning. Yeah.

So you'd likely just, everyone will still be asleep. You can get your pants down and do your down trail. I feel so awkward being naked in my home. Me too. Do you too? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Am I getting better with it? No. As I get older? I don't know. Let's meet our tradie today. He's calling in from the Garden City. He's 34 and he loves watching the rugby and having a beer. What a bloody bloke.

Welcome to the show. It's Corey. G'day, Corey. How's it going? How's it going? Mate, who's your team in the rugby? The Mighty Chiefs. Of course. You're a Chiefs man living in Crusaders country.

Yeah, I've deported down here. I've been you. I'm from Rotorua and I lived in Christchurch and a Crusaders fan once tried to punch me for cheering for a Chief's try at the pub. So they're very passionate. Very passionate about their Crusaders down there. Yeah. You're taking on our lady today. She's also from Christchurch. She's 40 and she has

six dogs and two cats. Holy moly. Wow. Welcome to the show, Siobhan. G'day, Siobhan. Hi. I mean, I've got two dogs and I feel like I'm overwhelmed. How do you go? Well, I've got a big property and I just obviously just love dogs. Do they live outside? A couple live outside and a couple live inside.

Oh, the VIPs get to come inside. What type of dogs? The VIDs. Reals get to come inside. What type of dogs? The ones that don't shed. The VIDs. Real quick, Siobhan, what type of dogs? Pugs and Bichons. Oh, cute. The pugs live outside, obviously.

Yep. In the wild. Okay, Corey, your buzz is tradie. Siobhan, yours is lady. First of three correct answers is going away with $50 cash this morning. Good luck. Here we go, guys. Question number one. A group of ravens is known as an unkindness, a murder, or a flock?

Katie. Yes, Corey. A flock. That's incorrect. Good guess, though. Siobhan, you want to have a guess? An unkindness or a murder? I'm going to go with murder.

That's a group of crows, I believe, is a murder. We're looking for unkindness. A group of ravens is called an unkindness. Yeah, apparently. Okay. Question number two. Who plays Elvis in the latest Elvis film? Oh, I know this, but I can't think of his name.

Yeah, that guy. Oh, yes, that singer. He hasn't stopped talking like Elvis since the movie. He hasn't put out a hit for a long time. I reckon we can level the playing field and give out the first name.

First name is Austin. Oh, no. No? I don't know. No? Okay. I want to know who Siobhan was thinking of. Yeah, who were you thinking of, Siobhan? I was thinking of that guy from, you know, he's, I don't know if I can say that word online.

So, you know, likes boys. Gay? Yeah, can I say gay? Yeah, you can say gay. You can say gay as much as you want, Siobhan. It's totally fine. You know that one that won the... It's legal now.

It's legal. Yeah. Yeah, you know the one that won like... I don't even know what it's called. You know, stars in your eyes or something like that. Gay of the year. I don't know. It's number one.

That's okay. We'll move on. We'll move on. It's still nil all. Yeah. All right, here we go. Question number three. Buzz in when you. It's still nil all. Yeah. All right. Here we go. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.

Yes, Corey. Nelly. It is Nelly. Nelly. Nice work. One to the tradies. Question number four. Jeff, who is the host of the American TV show Survivor?

This is a hard one. I suck at this game. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to get this one either, guys. Jeff Prost is what we were looking for. Hosted like a million seasons. Matty McLean. Matty McLean. Hey, question number five, still one to the tradies.

What is the smallest city in the world? Smallest city? Smallest city? Smallest city. It's a city within a city. It's where the Pope lives. Tradies. Shavonne. Ladies.

Shavonne. Is it the Vatican? Nice work. All right, this is for the win. We're one apiece, but we're down to six. We've only got one question left. Here we go. This is for the win, guys.

Question number six. In the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood, who does the wolf dress up as? Lady. Siobhan. Grandma. Well done. Congratulations. Congratulations.

Siobhan, you don't suck at this game. You came back with a vengeance and $50 cash is yours. Woo-hoo. Tough morning on the tools, to be honest. There were actually some tough questions in there, to be fair. Right on, Siobhan. Thanks for playing. Bree and Clint.

You know me, Clint. I love a bit of... Still same old G. Still same old G. You've just been low-key. You know me. I love some awkward live TV because... You love watching it.

You love making it. Me too, yeah. I'm making some awkward radio right now. Let's get into this awkward moment that happened on BBC Sports coverage. It was of the Liverpool's FA Cup clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers and a bunch of guys were talking about the game and getting into the nitty-gritty of what went down. But some audio...

Is it during the game or is it in the post-match thingy? I think it's in the post-match or maybe at half-time. So not during the game. Right. So this is in the studio and they're presenting and one guy in particular, his name's Gary Leichner, got a bit red-faced because some audio started playing in the background of when change stations for a minute or two, because the audio definitely wasn't meant to be played. You take a listen, see if you can hear the audio I'm talking about.

This doesn't look like a team that I think can win the game. I don't think there's enough experience in the team. Okay, well, we'll find out shortly. We've an FA Cup winners only policy in the studio tonight. I don't know who's making that noise, but so Alan Shearer is on the commentary gantry alongside Steve Bauer. Alan, it's toasty in this studio. It's a bit noisy as well.

Somebody's sending something on someone's phone. I think it's a joke. I don't know whether you heard it at home, but how's it on the gantry? A bit chilly? Yeah, we heard it at home. We heard don't know whether you heard it at home. But how's it on the gantry? A bit chilly? Yeah, we heard it at home. We heard it loud. We definitely heard it at home.

And clear. So I looked into it. How did that happen? I looked into it and I was like, I wonder how this happened. Like, how did this go to air? Apparently someone had taped a phone to, like, underneath one of the presenter's chairs. Oh, so they did it on purpose?

Yeah. There's no details about who it was that has pulled the prank, but damn. Because look, here's a, I mean, people can't see it watching, but. Oh my God. Yeah. It's like a total burner phone. It looks like a Nokia. And they've taped that to underneath one of the chairs.

I hope that this is some serial prankster who is going to make their way through the world of live television. Oh, that'd be great. You know how there's those pitch invaders who get on there and try and stand for the national anthem in uniform? I'm hoping this person is like a mysterious

porn sound effect artist who's going to go from show to show and just tape. I'm hoping Hillary and Jeremy on Seven Sharp have this. Get done. It's the new Banksy. He's calling himself Spanksy. Brie, what's the best biscuit in New Zealand?

If you were going to the dairy right now, what is the best biscuit you could buy? Tim Tam. Oh, Tim Tam's a good choice. I love Tim Tams. Claudia, what's the best biscuit in New Zealand? Hokey Pokey Squiggles. Oh, great choice as well.

A bit niche. Well, you say that. No, you say that. But I ran a very wide-ranging biscuit poll on my Instagram during lockdown and the two finalists were Tim Tam and Hokey Pokey Squiggles. Oh, so we picked the top two? Those were the top two according to New Zealand. So you guys have got great taste. There you go. Hokey Pokey Squiggle came out on picked the top two. Those were the top two according to New Zealand. So you guys have got great taste.

There you go. Hokey Pokey Squiggle came out on top. It's not the biscuit I'm talking about that's being gobbled up by the world's biscuit eating community. One more guess. Ella, what's the best biscuit in New Zealand? I'm glad you asked. It's Superwine.

Oh my God. What's a Superwine? The most bland... Grandma biscuit. Grandma biscuit you could ever see. Superwine. It has no flavour. It goes with tea well.

Oh, yes, I know these. Grandmas sometimes like to put butter between them and put two together of super wines. These are the ones you can crush up and put at the bottom of a cheesecake. Yeah, you can do that, yeah. The biscuit made here in New Zealand, the Kiwi icon that is blowing up around the world right now

is a cookie time. Cookie time biscuits? Yeah. Really? There you go. And I'm disappointed none of you said cookie time, actually, because it's an institution. Came third in the bicky off that I ran, by the way.

They, earlier this year, well, last year when Costco came out in New Zealand, they went into Costco stores. Yeah. They sold a million dollars worth of cookie time biscuits in two months. Whoa. A million. That's a million more dollars of cookie time. And then Costco were like, hey, you're onto something here.

Let's put them in our stores around the world. Yeah. Yeah. So they're selling one kg bags of cookie time, particularly well in Japan at the moment. The Japanese are just bonkers for these cookie time biscuits. I need to know what flavour. Chocolate chunk.

Chocolate, okay. So the classic. The one that if you got a cookie time at high school was to be the one, the large one that they set on top of the pie warmer. So the chocolate inside it melted and the biscuit was all heated up. Oh my God, take me back.

They're the ones that they give out on a New Zealand flight sometimes. Mini ones. Yeah, the mini ones. Yeah, they're good. And're the ones that they give out on Air New Zealand flights sometimes. Mini ones. Yeah, the mini ones. Yeah, they're good. And sometimes you get that weird, is it vegan? Is it vegan, the green one? Yeah, they're the vegan ones.

When they get to the bottom of the supply. Anyway, the one kg bags of Cookie Time chocolate chunk are selling so well. The Cookie Time company in New Zealand are trying to hire 30 more staff. They need to produce another 150,000 cookies a day to keep up with demand. That is such a massive difference. And what, only 30 more people? That's the staff they need to increase their output. 30 is a lot of people when you think about it.

But like 150,000 cookies a day. Yeah, more. More on top of whatever they're it but like 150,000 cookies a day. Yeah. Yeah. More. More. On top of whatever they're doing. 150,000 more cookies a day. That's wild.

Yeah. So there you go. Cha-ching. Yeah, I'll say. Cha-ching. Cha-ching. And very shortly some influencer in America

is going to discover a cookie time for the first time and they're going to go, guys, I have to tell you about this new biscuit. And you can be like, I have been eating that biscuit for the last 17 and they're going to go, guys, I have to tell you about this new biscuit. And you can be like, I have been eating that biscuit for the last 17 years, okay? Turns out I was cool all along.

There you go. Just so you know. Bree and Clint. Right now, my partner and I were having a discussion the other day because we got new sheets and bedding as a Christmas present. That's all we got for a Christmas present. No, not from ourselves. Someone else gave it to us. Because I remember you making fun of me for present. No, not from ourselves.

Someone else gave it to us. Because I remember you making fun of me for it. No, no, no. I was like, what? Now you've gone and done it. No, not from ourselves, from someone else. And we were talking about whether or not you should wash them before you put them on the bed.

And I was like, you definitely wash them. You definitely wash them. A hundred percent you wash them. Did your partner not want to wash them? No, no, no, no. We both wanted to, but it was just a discussion. Because she works in hospital and she's used to very starchy, stiff sheets. Yes.

I can see why she might go, oh, whack them on. It doesn't matter. They're quite starchy when they come out of the packet. And I came across this article, which there was a guy that was talking about whether or not you should. And I was like, ooh, interesting. And apparently you definitely should. And he says that giving bedding a good clean helps to remove any dust and dirt that may have accumulated in the factory or shop shelf.

I always think about that. Like where did these come from? Who's touched them? Like what is the – what's the history of these? Yeah, because they're normally in a packet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he says that they are very... I bet they perform better too. They'd feel nicer

if they'd been through the machine and they smell like your laundry powder. He says they're very starchy and it's to give the sheets that smooth look in the packaging. So you should definitely wash those but I thought off the back of this we should go through a bunch of different items and decide if you wash or not before use.

So producers, you can get involved in this. Let's go through the list. So sheets, let's just get everyone's take on it. We're all washing sheets, right? Washing sheets before use. If I can be bothered. Oh my God, you're a no. I don't care.

Okay. You don't care. And Ella's mum washes her sheets. Shut up. I don't care. Okay. You don't care. And Ella's mum washes her sheets. Shut up. She doesn't. So it's 50-50 on that one. I do it. You wash them before?

I wash my sheets. She does the other washing. There you go. I need to move out. All right, let's go with tea towels. I watched a TikTok about this. Do you wash before use? You not only have to wash them, you have to wash them really hot before you use your tea towels. I watched a TikTok about this. Do you wash before use? You not only have to wash them, you have to wash

them really hot before you use your tea towels. Because they've got like a waxy coating on them in the store. I don't. No, you're supposed to. Otherwise they're not absorbent enough. Straight out of the packet. Push the water around. Yeah, exactly right. Oh, who cares? And they're fuzzy. No, I'm telling you why you should care. I know, but I just use

them. It's fine. Right. Do you wash your towels? Because you know a towel is actually not absorbent until it's been through the washing machine. I don't know. Wash?

Yeah, well, towels was my next one on the list. I'm on the fence about that too. No, come on, people. I don't wash them. If you buy a good towel, it's always absorbent.

No, it's not. You could buy the best towel and it's not absorbent until you give it a wash. I've got good towels and I'm ready to go. When I hop out of the shower, you know, you'll wet it and then get it. Yeah, that's a wash.

It's fine. No, it's not. Oh, my God. Yeah, seller. Yes. Get on board this train. What are you saying? Get on board this train.

It's not going to soak up water properly. Okay, fine. That's fine. People are getting invested. What about socks? Do you wash them before use? No. Nah.

Neither. Neither. Nothing like a new pair of socks. Yeah, in fact, I'm gutted the first time I put on a new pair of socks after their first wash. I'm like, oh, they're crusty now. They're so fluffy and nice straight out of the packet. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What about clothes in general? Shop clothes, yes. Yes. Any other clothes, no. What do you mean any other clothes? New clothes. New clothes. New, new clothes. She's saying secondhand clothes, yes. Any other clothes, no. What do you mean any other clothes? New clothes. New clothes. New, new clothes.

She's saying secondhand clothes, give them a wash. Get the mothball smell out of them. The grandpa smell. Vintage clothing. Get the smell of the guy who died in them out of it. But new clothes, nah, same as socks. I'm gutted the first time I have to wash my new clothes. Yeah, I don't wash my new clothes either.

They never look the same. Yeah, they don't. What about a hat? What? I never wash a hat. So do you think about people that have tried that hat on? No. I don't buy the hat from the front.

It's like milk. I buy the hat from the back. Smart. Yeah, well, maybe other people. Who washes a hat? Maybe other people have the same thought as you who want to try a hat on and they're like, I'm not trying the front hat on.

I'll pick the hat at the back. How do you even wash a hat? You can wash a hat. You put it in the dishwasher. That's how I wash my hats. It does a great job. No, we're not washing hats. Okay, this is the last one I've got, which this is the big one.

Bree's fedora's all floppy. They're like, what happened to your hat? Oh, no, not the fedoras. You wash those with a hose. Through the washing machine. What about underwear? Do you wash them before use? No.

Yes or no? No. Get out of here. You don't wash your undies? No. Why would I wash my undies? I'm not buying secondhand undies. Why would I wash them?

And so you're positive that no one has tried that underwear on before you put them on your body? Sorry, who's trying underwear on? I don't know. Who in the world is trying on underwear before they buy? You never know, mate. A lot of people do. No, they don't.

Yeah. No, they don't. Most people try underwear on. You're not allowed to try undies on. I suppose you buy the ones in the packets and just the multi-packs. The three-pack. I love those. The Rio three-pack. Yeah. No, I don't. Most people try underwear on. You're not allowed to try undies on. I suppose you buy the ones in the packets and just the multi-pack. The three-pack. I love those. The Rio three-pack.

Yeah. No, I don't. So you believe everyone always follows the rules, never tries a pair of underwear on ever. If I worked at Kmart and I saw you walking towards the changing room, you know how I've got to give you the little token, and you had a pair of undies in your hand, I'd say, sorry, ma'am, we don't allow you to try on the undies.

And then I'd just say, no, no, I'm just holding these. I'm going to try these other clothes on. No. And then I get in there and I'm like, I need to know if these six dollar underwear are going to fit me. Brie puts three pairs on and then she walks out of the store. And I do some lunges. Just get sweaty.

We're on different pages there, I'm sorry. Oh, okay. Brie and Clint. There's a story about a young Kiwi woman that's going global at the moment because she never knew her dad growing up. She didn't know her dad. She'd been actually told that her dad wasn't alive and she was given very little detail about who her dad was. Well, her mum had very little detail, right? Yes, very little detail about who her dad was. Well, her mum had very little detail, right? Yes.

Very little detail. The only detail she had about her biological dad was that his name was Noel. He lived in the UK and he loved sports. Call David Lomas. Fine, Noel. Let's go. Getting us in pieces on this ASAP? The reason why her story is going so viral is because she decided she'd use Facebook to see if she could try and find her and track down her biological dad if he was still alive.

Yeah. And she found a guy on Facebook that lived in Wales and his name was Noel and his page had a lot of sports stuff on it. He kind of fit the brief, right? Yeah. So she sent him a message and what happened after that is truly amazing. Sharni Butler, she joins us on the show right now. Morning, Sharni.

Good morning. You're 31 years old. Is that right? Yeah. And until recently, you never knew who your dad was? All I heard was, yeah, literally just his name and that he was sports mad. That's all I had to go on. Oh, my God.

That's wild, Sharni. Can I ask how your mum didn't have your dad's details? Like, how did it come about that she didn't know who he was or where he was? Well, they were just a couple of night thing back in the 1990s. Right, so they had a little fling. It was never nothing official, just a little fling. A little fling.

Hey, Sharni, let's get into the details because this story is so incredible. So obviously, you know, growing up, you wanted to know more about who your dad was and the other side of, you know, who you were. So you found this guy on Facebook. He has a few of the details details but you don't have many you send him a message and what do you say I literally just asked him if he lived in lived in like Christchurch New Zealand in 1990 to 91 and um it turns out that he did and then I was pretty bold and I didn't know how to ask him but I asked him if he had slept with any woman between 1990 and

2001. And I was like how do you ask this stranger on the internet if he's slept with any woman? Yeah, even more awkward if it turns out to be your dad and you're asking him about his sex life. Yeah, I know. So I guess it turns out he had

and you managed to put some pieces together and over how many days did it take you to figure out that, oh my God, this guy is actually my dad? Literally within 24 hours. Wow. Wow, that's incredible. Literally within 24 hours. What was it? I'm getting goosebumps even just thinking about how you, literally I've got goosebumps everywhere,

how you would have felt when both of you realised messaging messaging through Facebook, that, hey, we are connected. Like, this is blood. How did you feel in that moment? I cried. Like, I was at the doctors and I just looked down crying and thought, well, are you okay? And I was like, I just found my dad. Oh, my God.

Oh, I've got goosebumps all over my body. It wasn't until he had said, is your mum Dale? And he did jazz and stuff like that. That's right, because you hadn't even given him your mum's name and he said your mum's name. I had no information.

I remember my oldest brother, who was four at the time, kind of saying it's so bizarre. Wow. Sharni, what happens now? What's happened since? Have you guys made plans to connect, to meet in person?

What do you do now? Our next plan is to do a DNA test. And then I've started a Give a Little page to help some expenses. Sorry, we lost that bit. What's the give a little page for? The give a little page is help me find my dad. Yeah, and what... Help me meet my dad. Yeah, and what are you raising money for with that,

to get over to Wales and meet him? DNA test and flight. Okay, right. Yep. Amazing. Yeah. So you will do the DNA test before you meet, is that right? Absolutely. Just to be safe?

And he wants to do it too. He's really open to the whole thing too, which is nice. Awesome. Sharni, this story is truly amazing. You don't need David Lomas. You did it by yourself on Facebook. I applied and I also applied so many times for that bloody show, isn't it?

It didn't work out. Well, you've ended up getting the result you wanted. Yeah, absolutely. It's pretty incredible, Sharni, and there'll be lots of people listening right now who go, I want that for me. Yeah. I wish that would happen in my life,

because you will not be the only person who's grown up not knowing who one of their parents is. No, so many people reached out and was like, how did you do it? I want to find my dad. This has happened to me before kind of thing. We've got to start Sharni's version of Sharni Investigates. Yeah, you should host the show and you can pick the people. Hey, Sharni, thank you so much for joining us this morning

and sharing your story. Thank you so much. It would truly inspire a lot of people that are in the same position as you and good luck on your journey. We'd love to hear back from you to hear how it goes. I will. Thank you so much. See you, Sharni.

Oh, my God. Thank you. We're doing Birthday Banger in the morning. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and Clint's Birthday Banger. Here we go. If you've never heard this before,

we do it every day on our show in the afternoons at 5.30. You call us up. You tell us your birthday. We figure out what was the number one song when you were celebrating your 16th, and then we'll play one of those songs. Let's start with Chris. Morning to Chris. G'day, Chris.

Bugger. Alright, well let's see your birthday banger. Chris, what's your birthday? My birthday is the 6th of February, 1981. Alright Chris, that means you were 16 in 1997. And let me take that means you were 16 in 1997. And let me take you back to your 16th birthday. Here's the number one song. Yeah.

If you want to be my lover, you've got to get with my friends. Middle life's forever, friendship never. Girl power. If you want to be my lover. You're a Spice Girls man, Chris. No, not really. I'm more curious to see what would have been the number one back in my day. Oh, right, back in 19, what, 81?

What do you mean, when you were born? Oh, no, no, 97, obviously. But, yeah, I was just curious when I was 16 what number one was. Yeah, that's it, the Spice Girls. Yeah, that's awesome. Oh, I see what you're saying. You were just curious. Yeah. That's awesome. Oh, I see what you're saying. You were just curious. Yeah.

I was like, Chris. I listen to you guys every morning. Yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha. Really curious. Thank you, man. We appreciate it. Love it. Appreciate your call, Chris.

I got so confused. So did I. I was like, no, that's what we just did, Chris. We got our wires crossed. Let's go to Bianca. Hi, Bianca. Hi, Bianca. Hello.

Whereabouts in the country are you, mate? I'm in Auckland. I'm in Auckland. I'm in Auckland. We get it, Bianca. Hi, Bianca. Hello. Whereabouts in the country are you, mate? I'm in Auckland. I'm in Auckland. I'm in Auckland. We get it, Bianca. The weather's been terrible. No, it's bloody nice right now. Yeah, but I'm still in a bad mood for a while.

No, live in the moment, mate. The past is gone. Yeah, exactly. The past is a memory. Namaste. And the future does not exist. All you have is right now. I totally zoned out because I felt like I was getting scammed about something.

That's why you should buy some of this Arbonne. That's why you should buy this sleep app. Bianca, what's your birthday, mate? 1st of November 1996. Right, you were 16 in 2012. And on the 1st of November 2012, this had a number one hit. Gangnam Style. Gangnam Style. Gangnam Style.

Yeah. A bit of Psy and Gangnam Style. Bianca, you a fan? I was back in the day. I watched the first episode of Love Island UK last night. Did they play this? The new season. No, they didn't play this.

But one of the guys, you know how they all pull up to the villa for the first time in the back of the Jeep Wrangler? Yeah. He got out of the Wrangler and did the Gangnam Style into the villa.

Jeez, throwback. I know. Are they throwing some older people in the villa this time? Nah, he was 21. Jeez, see, there you go. Psy carries through

the generation. He was 10 years old when that song came out. Yeah, wild. Do you like it for your birthday banger, Bianca? Oh, I will be happy with that. Okay, good.

Good. Glad to hear it. Could be worse. Could be worse. Did you just do Gangnam Style on TV? Yes, I did. Let's do Ashley. Kia ora, Ashley.

Hi, Ash. Hi. And I've asked everyone else, I'm going to ask you, whereabouts in the country are you, Ash? A little town in Southland called Atautau. Called what? Atautau. Atautau.

Okay. Who knew ZM had a frequency there? Yeah, cool. Good to know. How many people live there, Ashley? I wouldn't have a clue. Just me. Ashley's like, well, I can't count them all, let's put it that way.

Hey, Ash, let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 6th of March, 1997. That means you were 16 in 2013. And Ashley, here it is, your birthday banger. You are now, now, rockin' wet Will.i.am and Britney Spears Banger Are you into it, Ash? Yeah, no, that's pretty good Oh, it's a solid tune That's my fave of the three That's what I'm voting for on Birthday Banger this morning Will.i.am and Britney Spears

I'm voting Spice Girls Every time you go to the Mate Every time A true Spice Girls fan Yeah Never leaves the camp I just think it's a bit rude to Brittany

Just feels right for this time of the morning, you know? Let's do it. Chris, congratulations. You're the winner of Birthday Banger with the Spice Girls.

Will I am? It's pretty cool. Even Chris wanted Will I am. There'll be some in some camps, some in the other camps. Turn it up, everybody. Straight out of 1997, Bree and Clint. I feel so bad for this British Airways crew member. Have you heard this story?

No. Oh, this is... Oh, this is the person who cost the company all the money? I don't know what they did. So this is my worst nightmare. So this cabin crew member, it was his first day on the job. First day. Okay. So he's obviously been through training.

Nerve-wracking. Nerve-wracking. I imagine working on a plane, the first month would be, you'd be so scared. Yeah, you'd be terrified. Because so much can go wrong. Yeah, and you have to really know your stuff. There's so much stuff that they have to know. And anyway, first day working with the airline and he was on a Boeing 777

and they were going from London, leaving London, and he obviously was quite nervous on his first day because before even leaving the gate at Heathrow Airport, he accidentally pressed the button that pushed out the emergency slide. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

How? I think he accidentally. I would think that there'd be like a couple of things you have to do before the slide comes out. Yeah. I don't exactly know. I don't imagine they put it next to the fasten seatbelts button. He accidentally triggered the inflatable emergency slide on this Boeing 777 and

the incident has cost the airline a whopping Oh no. Got what? A whopping $95,000. Oh. That's a lot of money to come out of your pay. But not only

that, not only that. 95 grand. Apparently it also resulted in a four-hour delay for passengers on the flight. Yeah. And everyone would know it was him. Which probably costs more because the airports need you to get out of the terminal. They need your plane to go so another plane can come in. Especially at Heathrow.

Yeah. So people on the ground thought that something really bad had happened. So all the emergency services came rushing over because you see the emergency slide and you go, something bad's happened. All because of one button push by mistake. Look. Apparently he was given the rest of the day off. I imagine he was.

In situations like this, it's all about perspective, okay? And you've got to turn a negative into a positive. How are you turning this into a positive? The slide came out. Fun. I don't think anyone got to go down the slide. I think you're wrong. I think everyone had to go down the slide

because they couldn't pull the gate up to get everybody off the plane. Are you just choosing to believe that? I'm choosing to believe that. And I hope they went, okay, you push the button, you go down first, and you got to go down the slide. Surely, hopefully. Yeah, good trade-off.

I'd definitely choose going down the slide. If you're in debt to your employer by $95,000, I hope you at least get to go down the slide. It made me think about if I have had any, like, bad work experiences like that. Yeah, have you? I had an accident when I was a Black Thunder driver. It was quite early and we had these brand new cars

and a guy took the wing mirror off. Okay. Kind of my fault, kind of not. I'm choosing to believe it wasn't. But I remembered this other girl that I worked with. Did you lie about it? Did you say it wasn't you? No, I said it was me.

Oh, Rocky. Because technically I was merging. Yeah. But then he was speeding. Yeah, I would have said it happened in the car park. But I remember this girl that I worked with. It was her first day and we were doing like an event. So we had to take a bunch of stuff out to this event.

Yeah. And one of the things we had to take a bunch of stuff out to this event yeah and one of the things we had to take was a generator which powers you know gives you power and does all that stuff anyway the one thing i said to her was like remember the generator takes diesel oh right don't put unleaded no don't put petrol in it it It takes diesel. That's the one thing I told her. Anyway, she fills it up with petrol. It's because you said petrol. Like if you had just said... Oh, so it's my fault. You used negative reinforcement.

You should have said do put diesel in it instead of don't put petrol in it. Because she would have gone, which one was it? I can't remember. I can't remember which one it was. It's the one that you don't always use for your car. It's diesel. We've got a lot of expensive equipment in a radio studio. And I worked with a girl who I won't remember which one. It's the one that you don't always use for your car. It's diesel. We've got a lot of expensive equipment in a radio studio, and I worked with a girl who I won't name, Sophie,

who spilt not one but two cups of coffee into the mixing desk over the period of a month. She spilled a coffee into it. The tech came through and they said, this is a $30,000 mixing desk. Don't put drinks on the desk. We're going to fix it. Don't you ever take another drink into the studio.

A month later, she spilled another coffee in there. How? How does someone do this? She doesn't work there anymore. What, she got fired for it? No, she just doesn't work there anymore. Doesn't work there anymore. I don't know if the two things are related.

Who knows? Yeah. Jeez. I can just imagine if that happened here. Have we spilled anything in here? No. Remember that time we spilled milk on the ground? Oh, that's carpet. That's fine. Yeah, carpet. Company's spilt anything in here? No. Remember that time we spilt milk on the ground? Oh, that's carpet.

That's fine. Yeah, carpet. Company's not going to go under over carpet. It's growing a forest down there now, though. But anyway. Hey, I thought we could ask people this morning on 0800DIALZM, do you know someone, maybe it was you, that made a big mistake at work and cost the company heaps of money?

Yeah, and did they make you pay for it? Yes. Yeah. What was the make you pay for it? Yes. Yeah. What was the deal? We're the heavy machinery operators. We're the big tech company peoples. How much did you cost your work from a mistake or somebody you work with?

0800 ZM or you can text it in to 9696. Free in Clint. We want to know how much you cost your work. Shane's here. Was it you, Shane, or somebody you work with? Thankfully, no, not me. It was a guy that I was working with at the time, just between jobs as a builder.

So I was just helping out. My father was managing a farm up in, what is it, up by Whangarei there for a little while. Yeah, and what happened? Well, one of the, you know, I know everything sort of workers there was a brand new John Deere tractor, 190-odd grand's worth of tractor, and he basically beached it in the salt flats, and we had to stand there and watch it get flooded and destroyed.

No! Was that guy invited back to the building site the next day? It was about a farm, so he was, yeah, let's just say he was let off with a kind warning. He got the rest of the day off too, yeah. Who knew deers don't swim? John. John did.

Yeah, John. Rachel's here. Hi, Rachel. Hello, Rachel. Sorry, what? Hi. Tell us, Rachel, was it you that made the mistake or someone else?

Yeah, it was me. Twice. What did you do, Rachel. Was it you that made the mistake or someone else? Yeah, it was me. Twice. What did you do, Rachel? Twice. Yeah. So I'm a city girl and I had a little stint on a dairy farm. And it was just mainly me and the boss. Sometimes he had an extra milk can come in.

And he never had taken a day off in years. And he thought, oh, I'll just take the afternoon off. And he told me, don't forget the tanker is coming. And so clean the tank after the tanker comes. So I went, okay. And I went off and cleaned the tank and the tanker hadn't come yet. So all the milk in the tank was filled with chemicals. You ruined a whole tank full of milk.

Yeah. And you did that twice. Well, no, the second time, this time he's never learned. He went for a weekend away, and I was in charge of the whole milking thing. What do you mean he's never learned? I love how it's his fault. It sounds like you haven't learned, Rachel. No, stick with that one, Rachel.

It's his fault. I agree with you. He should know better than leave me here by myself. How could you possibly have known? He only told you four or five times, you know? Yeah. So I forgot to attach the hose to the milk tank. So all the milk that we milked just went straight onto the floor,

which my other boss, I obviously started crying, and my other boss took the chance to say, there's no need to cry over spilt milk. Of course, ED. No point crying over spilt milk. That's a solid joke from the dairy farmer. I bet she was ready to hear that joke too. Yeah.

She was like, come on, bring it. This text, someone's texted through. I worked as a bank teller. A client came in to make a withdrawal in cash. They had ID and signed a withdrawal slip, which looks similar to the signature we had on file. Turns out this person had stolen someone's ID and I gave them four and a half grand in cash.

They hit three other branches and got away with $20,000. You'd be so glad that other branches fell for it as well. 100%. Because then you could go, it's not just me. Wouldn't you just say... They must have looked a hell of a lot like the ID that they'd stolen. Yeah. Wouldn't you just say to your bosses, well, we're a bank,

we've got more, don't we? Yeah, just print some more. It just comes out of that machine and the wall over stolen. Yeah. Wouldn't you just say to your bosses, well, we're a bank, we got more, don't we? Yeah, just print some more. It just comes out of that machine and the wall over there. Just get some more out of that hole. If you've got a really good one, you can share it with us too on 9696. The time you cost your work a whole lot of money. Listen to this. I'm a plumber

and I laid all the pipe for drainage and then they built the house on top. Then we realised that I used the wrong type of pipe. They had to take down the house and redo it because it would not pass inspection with the pipes that I put in. It was a $300,000 mistake. No. They followed that up with, wasn't even my fault

because I was told to use that pipe. Well, technically, not their fault. Hey, someone texted her and they said, I used to work at a supply chain for a supermarket and when I was putting away alcohol, I went around the corner too fast and the alcohol wasn't wrapped to the pallet properly so it all slid off and broke,

causing $15,000 worth of damage and a massive mess. $15,000 of broken booze. Can you imagine how much alcohol that would have been that slid off a pallet? I always wonder in those situations, do you save the unbroken bottles? You obviously can't sell it, but surely in those kind of warehouses. Oh, there'd be a few in there that's not broken. Do you put them in the storeroom for the staff Christmas party at the end of the year? Yeah, absolutely you do.

How about this one? I was working as a car transporter. I was picking up Bentleys from the port of Auckland. Oh no. Bentleys are some of the most expensive cars you can buy. Like a half a million dollar car sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I scratched the rim.

It cost $15,000 to replace. Then a few months later, I hurt myself at work due to their unsafe practice. So it cost them $50,000 in work safe fines. Oh, okay. So you actually cost the company $65,000. It's just 50 of it went to you. Jeez. This one gives me so much anxiety.

It says, a few years ago, I worked in a luxury hotel spa. I was pregnant at the time, so I blame it on baby brain. I was taking a payment for the total of $520. I somehow added on a couple of extra zeros and the total came to $52,000 and it was entered into the FPOS machine. Normally, this would instantly decline. However, the card being used was one that had an unlimited credit. The company I worked for had to pay all the bank

fees and interest that build up while the bank sorted the refund. Oh, that makes me feel sick. I'm from South Africa and they lost a tank, the army type and then the Minister of Defence noted that tanks need to be pink so they don't get lost as easily.

Who lost a tank? Who lost a tank? I feel like it's quite hard to lose a tank, isn't it? I cost my boss $100,000 when I crashed the work truck into a house. God, it must have been a nice or a big truck maybe. Yeah. I worked with someone who cost the company around $750,000, was investigated, and he was removed within the week.

What a cabbage. God. What about this one? I used to work for a car rental company, and you're insured when you drive the vehicles around. A person from the company decided to take a Mustang on a tiki tour. Is this? No, no. On a tiki tour and left during work hours one evening. On their shift on company time, they ended up crashing it and it was written off. They were fired.

Yeah, I imagine they were. Marita, finally, you cost your work a whole lot of money? Yes. Yeah, I did. What did you do? It was my son. Okay. So we were going down the escalator, you know, the escalator, and he had his foot right by the side of it, and slowly the escalator started sucking his gumboot into the side of it as he was going down. Terrifying. Yeah, it was.

And I'm panicking going, help, because I'm thinking it's going to suck his foot in. Yeah. And then all of a sudden we just heard this massive bang, like it sounded like something blew up. And it was the escalator going into like, I guess, safe mode and stopping. And it cost them $45,000 to fix it.

$45,000. That one doesn't sound like it was you or your son's fault. Well, yeah, I was like, what kind of escalator sucks someone's foot in? But anyway, and then they said, oh, we're not going to replace the gumboot because it costs you 45 grand to fix it. And you're like, that's fine with me. Can we just be clear on the details? They said, we'll cover

the escalator, you cover the gumboot? Yeah, and I was happy with that. Okay, good deal. And you got to walk away. Good deal. Exactly. Bree and Clint. And that's us, everybody. Thank you so much for joining the Bree and Clint show on a Thursday morning. You know what blows my mind sometimes? Space.

Well, it's about to be just as buzzy. Yeah. I can connect with nearly anyone that I have met in my adult life just through the click of a button. Just message on Facebook. Like I'm talking to a friend of mine who's living in Canada right now. Unless they're dead. Way to bring down the mood.

Well, you said you can connect with anyone. Well, yes, anyone that's alive. I have to use my crystal. But yes, you're right, it is quite buzzy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's the next iPhone. It's going to have communication

with the dead. Jeez, I wonder how much they're going to charge for that. Oh mate, they're going to charge like a wounded bull, yeah. Is that through Bluetooth? We're marginally cheaper on the Samsung, so if that's an option for you, you could look into that. Have a great day, everybody. We're back tomorrow

for our Friday show, and we're going to do Fridayoke. You guys decided, we said, should we be doing Miley Wrecking Ball or should we be doing the new Miley Flowers song? And you were very clear about the fact that you do not want to hear us sing Wrecking Ball. It would be like a wrecking ball to your ears.

Yeah, we'll sing Flowers. I watched a music video to this last night. It's so good. I don't really understand why she's doing battle ropes in the middle of it. The rest of it makes sense. Yeah. I don't know why she does a quick F45 in the middle of the music video. Maybe she's preparing for battle.

I don't know. She never goes into battle, though. But once you know that... A metaphorical battle. I don't know. She never goes into battle though. But once you know that... A metaphorical battle. True. Once you know that the video is filmed in the house Liam cheated on her

with 14 different women in and then when you know that that tuxedo she's dancing in at the end is Liam Hemsworth's tuxedo, the video hits different. And all I think about is stay toxic, people. Totally, eh? I can see it in her face. She's like, I know what different. And all I think about is stay toxic, people.

Totally, eh? Yeah. I can see it in her face. She's like, I know what I'm doing, but I'm fine with this. She goes, and I'm fine with doing this. I'm toxic. Have a great day. We'll catch you guys back tomorrow.
