Zeddy, Brie and Clint. Afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Brie and Clint Show.

What's happening in the world right now? What's everyone talking about? What do you think is at the top of the list? Electric Avenue tomorrow for the South Islanders. Yeah, yeah, that's big. Do you reckon a lot of people are taking Friday off to go to the back-to-back Friday, Saturday electric app? Yes, 100%, yeah. Because you couldn't just buy a ticket for the Friday

or you couldn't just buy, you know, a single ticket. Oh, really? I don't know if you could. I don't think so. No, I think you could. Could you? Yeah, I think so. No, I think you could. Could you? Yeah, I think so. Right.

What did you get? Well, we got Friday and Saturday, which obviously I'm going to miss most of Friday because I'll be in Christchurch tomorrow, but I'll be doing the show, so I'll just go after. So I'll get the night portion. Yeah. Which will be good.

And to be honest, I can't do two full days at a festival. So it's fine. I went to a concert recently, and I took a little packet of electrolytes in my pocket to have halfway through the show, because I was like, I need to think about future Clint. Wow. So one of the rounds, I went up and I was getting drinks for everyone,

and I got myself a little bottle of water, popped my electrolytes in there. You're openly sharing this story. Well, I think it's a festival hack. I think if anyone's listening. But you want to get the electrolytes from the doctor, the little sachets. You don't want to be walking around with a full pocket of Barocca in your pocket. Yeah, but see

Clint, what you failed to remember is the 20-year-olds, the early 30-year-olds, they don't need no electrolytes. And now Clint's having to get the industry standard one from the doctor. Yeah. It's like the big booty ones. You're right, they don't need it. No.

But you and I do. Nah, mate, I'm going back to back two days. Did you not hear? Oh, you changed your attitude. Two days, two days, yeah. Fun show on the way. Two guesses at Secret Sound will play. What's the plot at 4.30 as well.

Also, we're going to talk about a Formula One driver who doesn't have a driver's licence soon. Yeah, that seems wrong, doesn't it? Yeah, and why you maybe shouldn't have your job just like him. But first, tradie versus lady. Let's get that underway. Yeah, if you want $50 cash and the glory, give us a call right now. 0800 dial ZM.

We need a tradie and a lady to play. You want like a salty electrolyte too, not like a sweet sugary one. You seem to know a lot about electrolytes. You're not going to start pitching some pyramid scheme to me, are you? A little mid-set neurofen as well. Let's go.

Time for a round of tradie versus lady. It's tradiverse Lady. Three, two, one, let's go. The ladies picking up a win yesterday, which puts them one ahead. They're on 11, the tradies on 10. Our lady is calling today from Cambridge. She's 33.

She's playing alongside her 11-year-old. They are a mother-daughter duo in Tradiverse Lady. Welcome to the show, Sam and Sophie. G'day, guys. What are your specialty categories? What do you know?

Sam, what's your specialty category and what's Sophie's? I'm pretty good with general knowledge. I'm pretty good with general knowledge. Sophie's pretty good with music. Okay, that'll hold you in good stead. We have general knowledge and music on the way. You're taking on our tradie from

Auckland, the 30. They are a lolly fiend. Welcome to the show, another Sam. Another Sam. G'day, mate. G'day, guys. What's your favourite lolly? What's at the top of your list at the moment? It has to be the old school milk bottles, the ones that when you hold in your teeth and you pull it

and it snaps apart, not the new. Oh, you don't like the squishy, stretchy ones? There's a difference. Yeah. What are your thoughts on the fake teeth? What was that, sorry? What are your thoughts on the fake teeth lolly? Yeah, they're all right,

but they're still not going to match up to your old lollies that you give in the old white bags. You like a really hard milk bottle. The 50 cent bags. Yeah, yeah. Nothing tops the Fijoa lolly for me. Really? Oh, it's one of my faves.

I'm a peaches and cream guy myself. Oh, also good. Sam and Sophie, your buzzer is lady. Sam, yours is tradie. God, this could get confusing, but I think, your buzzer is lady. Sam, yours is tradie. God, this could get confusing, but I think we'll do it. Boy, Sam, yours is tradie. First to three correct answers wins 50 bucks. Here we go, guys. Question number one.

Question number two. Who has won more titles? Serena Williams or Venus Williams? Trady. Sam's in. Sam, Trady. Venus. No, it's Serena

has won, I think, nearly double what Venus has won. But both incredible tennis players. Hasn't Serena got the most in the world for all women ever? Yes. Yeah. I think she's got like 24 or something. Something wild. Anyway, no points there.

Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Waiting. Sam and Sophie are in. Terrible. Well done. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Sam and Sophie, you're in. Terrible. Well done. Sam is like, I remember those guys. They were that wedding song.

No way. Well, the wedding version. What are the chances of that? Damn. Well, no wonder you got it. Two to the ladies, one to the tradies. Oh, no, sorry, none to the tradies. You need this one, Sam, to stay in it.

Question number four. In Little Red Riding Hood, who does the wolf dress up as? Tradie. Yes, Sam. The grandmother? Yes, that's correct. He's in. Two to the ladies, one to the tradies.

They make a good team, don't they, Sam and Sophie? It was a tough old day, but Sam was always going to be the winner at the end, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well done, guys. We'll get that 50 bucks out to you. Thank you. Thank you. Good game.

You're welcome, guys. Ladies up by two. Ten points to 12. Bree and Clint. Do you feel like you shouldn't have your job, the job that you're doing right now? Are you asking me? No, no, no. Is this directed at me?

No, no, no. You and I will never admit to the fact that we have bluffed our way into a long broadcasting career. We'll just keep quiet about that. People are calling it the biggest fluke in history. No, this is a really high-stakes job. It's a Formula One driver. Formula One's back soon.

It starts in Melbourne. It's very cool at the moment Formula One with not just like car people. Everybody's into it because of Drive to Survive and the Hot Drivers. The Hot Drivers is a big component. The drama. The drama. The Brad Pitt Formula One

movie comes out soon. It's kind of like the Real Housewives but with car racing. Totally. It's kind of that vibe. It's like Real Housewives, but with car racing. Totally. It's kind of that vibe, eh? It's like Real Housewives, but at 200 miles an hour. Yeah. Yeah. And then now we've got Liam Lawson to cheer for, the New Zealander.

Which is exciting. So it is going bonanza. One of the other new drivers this season, his name is Oliver Beerman. They had the big Formula One launch yesterday, and he has admitted something quite embarrassing. He's told everybody that he failed his driver's licence. How is this possible? He's a race car driver and not just any race car driver, an F1.

A Formula One driver. He's driving a car worth millions and millions of dollars. Doesn't know the road rules though. It must have been the practice test because that's what got me too. They're hard. Even if I had, I would never admit it. I'd never admit it if that was my job. I'd never admit to having failed my licence. He

had to go into detail after that because obviously everyone went, huh? What do you mean? Huh? Have you got a licence now? How old is he? He's like 20. Oh, so he should have his licence. He got it on the second time. So he had to reset it. Right, okay. The reason he failed his driver's licence is

because he... Can I guess? Yeah. I know what it is. The reverse park. The parallel park. It gets everyone the parallel. It's very hard to parallel park those Formula 1 cars. They're big. They're real long. Nah, he failed to stop at a stop sign. His excuse was, we don't have stop

signs on a racetrack, so I'm not used to seeing them. I'm used to going, not stopping. Yeah, not stopping. He did say that because he has been a race car driver since he was a child, like he came out through go-karts and stuff, he did assume that he would just pass. Just blitz it.

He'd be like, if there's one thing I know how to do, it's drive. Yeah, I feel like now that we're talking about it, driving on an actual road to a racetrack, very different. There's so many rules. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of rules that you don't even know before you start driving. The difference between a racetrack and the road is on a racetrack, all the cars are going in the same direction.

On the road, you've got cars going in every direction. Coming across. Yeah, doing all kinds of things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Letting people merge. He would have never had to do that. You know, he's not letting people in. Women drivers. He doesn't deal with

those in Formula One, does he? Which I think is wrong. I think is wrong. I think there is female Formula One. There's none. No. Not even in like the smaller cars?

Smaller cars? Like the not as booty ones. Maybe in Formula Two. I don't know. I don't know. I think there should be, but I know there's none this season and there were none last season. Not in like the competition we're talking about, but I'm saying in a separate competition.

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. It's just a joke though. Sorry. Oh, I thought we were just having a yarn about it. I want to know why should you not have your job? What's the reason that you shouldn't have your job?

Like a race car driver without a driver's licence? Not ideal. Are you a... Surgeon without a medical certificate. Yeah. Are you a... Let's hope not. Are you a teacher whogeon without a medical certificate. Yeah. Are you a... Let's hope not. Are you a teacher who doesn't like children?

Are you a vet who's allergic to cats? Yeah, that's a bad time, eh? Yeah, yeah. I feel like that would exist. It would definitely exist. You know? But you shouldn't have it, should you? No.

It's not the ideal career for you. Not the ideal, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the ideal profession. We can keep you anonymous if you don't want your boss to know, but what's the reason that you think you probably shouldn't have your job? Like if they did some digging into it. I hope they don't look into this.

I hope they don't. They probably shouldn't have this. 0800 DARS at M or text 9696. Bree and Clint. On the back of the news that a new Formula One driver failed his driver's licence, we're asking, why shouldn't you have your job? What's the reason that you probably aren't the best qualified person to be doing what you're doing? Maybe you just have no qualifications at all.

We are hearing from a lot of teachers. A lot of teachers. A lot of teachers who don't like children. Like this, I'm a teacher and I don't like kids. They're pretty loud and annoying, but I love my job and my own kids. The rest are parasites. And I feel like that person there has been around enough kids to know. I wonder if they liked kids before they started doing the job.

I think that could be the case and then you get burnt out on kids. I feel like most people say that, though. They're like, I love my own kids. Yeah, it's like people who like fish and chips until they start working in a fish and chip shop. You know, too much fish and chips, too much children. So we want to know from you, why shouldn't you have your job? Anonymous is on the phone.

Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, how's it going? Good, thank you. What do you do for work and why shouldn't you have the job? Well, it's my work, mate, but we're pool technicians, so basically swimming pool cleaners. Okay.

And he can't swim. No. You have to be around pools all the time. He could fall in. Yeah, well, the boss didn't even ask if he knew how to swim before he started. No, why would he? Why would you ask? You just assume.

Does your co-worker wear little floaties around when he's at work? Well, they've talked about putting them in a, yeah, life vest. Yeah. I feel like bad career choice if you can't swim. Did they trust you with that secret, Anonymous? Well, no, it came out because we

recently got HR at work and she ran around like doing health and safety and then it came out that, oh, actually he doesn't know how to swim. I love that comment. Recently we got HR at work. Didn't have it before, but we recently got it. Can you imagine working in HR for a pool cleaning company?

They're like, you're too tanned, you can't swim, and you're sleeping with too many of the mums at the houses of the pools that you clean. Now look, Judy, we've heard you've been stiff in the chlorine. Thanks, Anonymous. Very funny. James is here on 0800 Dials at M's. Hi, James. Hi, James.

Hey, how are you? We're good. Why shouldn't you have your job, James? I'm a roofer and I'm just a little bit afraid of heights. Yeah, okay. How did you get into the job if you're afraid of heights? I just started when I was young and I'm actually self-employed now, so I'm sort of stuck to it.

Did you know that you were scared of heights before you did that job? Yeah, yeah, definitely. That's wild. You should be a floorer, not a roofer. Yeah, you should be a carpet layer. Yeah, I mean, I'm all right on a single story, but put me up any higher than that and I'm not too comfortable. Now, that's a good idea.

Do you want to give a plug for your single story roofing company while you're here? It's Dowsing Roofing and I operate in Toedonga. Nice. Dowsing Roofing. Other companies are like,ad Island. Nice. Dowsing, roofing. Other companies are like, no roof too high. You're like, actually, most of them too high. You should have called it Skies Not The Limit.

One story is Skies. Thanks, James. We appreciate it. We're asking why you or somebody shouldn't have their job. Someone said, my daughter broke her arm. And when the ambulance comes, they give you that green whistle thing. The pain relief. But one of the ambulance officers said she was allergic to the green whistle.

So my daughter had to wait until she got to the hospital to get pain relief. You're kidding me. What do you mean? Like she's so allergic that she can't be around it? Yeah. Wow. I'm a learning and development specialist, but I have no patience for people learning new things

when I'm training others in my head if you don't pick things up quickly you are incompetent I don't know how I got where I am that is hilarious I work in accounts and I'm really shit at maths I also have good interpersonal skills

so completely out of place you're not using your good interpersonal skills, so completely out of place. Yeah, you're not using your good interpersonal skills in accounts, are you? I don't want an accountant who's bad at maths. I want a real nerd to be an accountant. Someone said, I'm a counsellor, but I'm quite mentally unstable. I feel like... You're just a counsellor, so you can get free counselling, aren't you? Yeah, I feel like counsellors, it's a tough job.

I shouldn't have my job. I'm a teacher and I hate school. I think structured, forced learning is terrible. And I even homeschool my own children. Wow. Isn't that, what? Do you reckon that's from being in the system? Maybe.

Or they already had that opinion? I hope so because why did you go and train for three and a half years if you knew you hated schools? They've learnt that after the fact, haven't they? Someone else said I'm a beekeeper and I'm allergic to bees. That's scary. I'm a receptionist and I don't like talking to people. I'm a funeral director and I'm way too hormonal.

Good combo. Oh, you'd be crying all the time. Yeah, that'd be a rough job. Yeah. Last one. I work in a call centre and I hate talking on the phone. Yeah. Wrong profession, I think.

Brian Clint. Guys, what is going on with the whole flavoured sparkling water thing? It's trending. Yeah, what do you mean what's going on with it? What is going on? Like when did flavoured sparkling water become the in thing? When did we have to have flavour in our water to be able to drink it? I'm assuming you're not a fan of a nice cold can

of lightly flavoured sparkling water. Look, it's been a point of contention in my household, probably the last couple of months especially, because my partner absolutely loves it. She's keen on the Almighty's, the Vistas. We just have all these. Does she do a La Croix? No, not a La Croix.

Oh, you wait until she gets into the La Croix. They're the most expensive, aren't they? No, they're all about the same price. Are they? They're cheap. They're like $12. Well, I saw on the Herald today they're talking about sparkling flavoured water and why it's such a big thing.

And they said that options range from $1.50 a can to $4 a can. Yeah, right. It's water. It's flavored water. Yeah, but you could have it as an alternative drink. Isn't that a good idea? An alternative to what? Normal water?

No, to a fizzy drink. Oh, okay. I think that's the idea of them, that you have it instead of having a Coke or instead of having a beer. In our household, we're not having fizzy drinks and all of a sudden now we've got these flavoured water fizzy drinks. I know what you mean. Like people who got into vaping not to quit smoking just to start vaping.

I do know what you mean. You know, I just don't understand it. Sparkling waters are also a bone of contention in my relationship. My wife really enjoys them and likes to have some in the fridge. But the issue has become that I have decided that I like them too. But that's an issue because if I drink them, then she gets pissed off because they're now not in the fridge for her to enjoy.

Her take is, that's what all the beer is for. That's for you. Leave my sparkling water alone. That's mine. Yeah, well, see, I don't get it. I'm not a sparkling water fan, though. So I feel like it's not meant for me anyway. I'm just looking at the La Croix's now.

How much are the La Croix's? So the Almighty's that your partner's on, $12 a box. And how many's in the box? Six. See, you can get that for free out of the tap. No, you can't get lightly flavoured sparkling water out of the tap. Well, I'll put a drop of something in there. The La Croix's are $12.50, but I think there might be more in the box.

I think the La Croix's might be a 10 in the box. A 10. So we've just got to get her off. That's your issue. Get her off the Almighty's. Get her onto the Pompelmoose. That's a nice La Croix flavour. Pompelmoose? Yeah. Get her off the Almighty's. Get her onto the pomplemousse. That's a nice La Croix flavour. Pomplemousse?

Yeah. I don't know what a pomplemousse is, but it's definitely a good La Croix flavour. Like, imagine I just picture, right, I picture zombie apocalypse, because that's most of the time what I'm picturing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Zombie apocalypse and then, like,

where'd Gorn is as the human race? No, no, no. Everyone will be running around going, guys, I'm so thirsty, but there's no flavoured sparkling water around. No, you've got it all wrong. In a zombie apocalypse, go for the flavoured cans of water

because they'll last forever. They're sealed in aluminium. You know what else will last forever? Just normal tap water. Oh no, we're all going to die. There's no flav of sparkling water. Is me recommending my favourite imported flavour of sparkling water the most out of touch thing I've ever done on this show?

Nah, you've said way more out of touch things. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. Big news for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. Big news for Lady Gaga. She's broken another record, Dean. She sure has. She's got millions of dollars, countless fans, and now she has hit 123 million monthly listeners on Spotify. This is a new record. This is the most monthly listeners by a female artist in Spotify history.

Wow. 123 million listeners per month. Per month. Yeah. Isn't that insane? Yeah. That's wild. This far into her career and this many rebirths and she's still pulling in, what did you say,

the biggest female artist numbers in the world? Ever in history. Yep. That's crazy. It just shows how she's a multi-generational artist. Like she will continue to be successful and span multiple generations. Bree's on the pulse of everything, Gaga.

When does that new album come out? Soon. Soon? Yeah. Well, I mean, she teased it at the Grammys. And we got this. Which is going well. So hopefully if that's an indication of what the album is like,

it sounds like a bit of original Gaga. A lot of artists complain that they don't make money out of Spotify, Dean, but you'd have to think that you're doing all right out of 123 million listens a month, right? Sure. You'd hope so. I don't actually know how it does convert to dollars,

but surely it converts to ticket sales, albums, clothing, you know, movies, everything else that she does, surely, yeah. That's The Goss with Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent. Brie and Clint. I asked before, is it weird to cook dinner for someone else's boyfriend? First text that's come through, very weird.

This really kicked off a debate here in the studio before the show. Our team, Brie and the girls girls got very fired up about it. Saying, you said that it is weird. On the face of it it is weird. Yeah, like without you hadn't told me any of the context. No. So I don't think we can really comment yet until we have all the facts. Here cometh the context.

It's a post on Reddit and it reads like this. So last night I got home early from work and my flatmate's boyfriend was at our house waiting for her to get home, which is not out of the ordinary. Okay. I changed out of my work clothes

and I began making dinner, which was ramen noodles. While I have the stove still hot, I asked her boyfriend if he would like some. I didn't see this as weird or anything and just figured it was the polite thing to do. He told me he was starving and would like some. I didn't see this as weird or anything and just figured it was the polite thing to do. He told me he was starving and would love some. So I made him one brick of ramen

and then I go to my room and I continue my night and that was it, I figured. Now this morning, my flatmate texts me and asks if I could not make her boyfriend food when he's over with her in capital letters like i'm trying to win over her man with a brick of beef flavored ramen i felt like at the time it was completely normal and polite but now i'm not so sure oh see yeah there's a lot more to the context when you told me originally because i was like yeah that is weird um but here in the context. When you told me originally, because I was like, yeah, that is weird.

But here in the context, I mean, ramen's not dinner. Yeah, it was her dinner. Yeah, but it's not dinner. It's not a meal. She hasn't planned a meal for him. No, no. And it's not like, you know, ramen takes five minutes. But, I mean, men have been won over with less in the past.

I, hearing the context of the story, but we're also hearing it from her side. Yeah. You know, so obviously she's going to downplay. Yeah. If there are details in there. What, yeah, true. What did she get changed into?

What behaviour has she exhibited in the past towards the flatmate's boyfriend? Yeah, is there any history there between her and the flatmate? Is the boyfriend a bit of a shitbag? And is he prone to... Yeah, has he cheated before? Sample other ladies' ramen. Okay, we're getting too deep.

We're getting too deep, aren't we? I know, I know. On the face of it, with that information, was it weird? Is the flatmate right to be annoyed? Nah. Nah. Not in that context, I don't think. No.

Let's go to producer Claudia. Claudia? I think she sounds like she's just being really nice. Like, I think it sounds totally fine. The ramen cooker. Yeah. Yeah. Not weird.

Nah, not weird. Not weird to cook someone else's boyfriend ramen. Nah. I think she's being nice. It could be, though. Like, can you admit to that? Like, it could be weird. Not weird to cook someone else's boyfriend ramen. Nah. I think she's being nice. It could be, though. Like, can you admit to that? Like, it could be weird, that context. Nah.

Only if, like you said, if there's ulterior motives. Yeah. If behaviours have been exhibited before and if he likes it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if this is the context? What if there's a flat, like the flat, right? Yeah. Exact same situation. And

the boyfriend's there and the flatmate comes out, cooks him a big elaborate meal. A roast. Like does all the trimmings, like his favourite. Just for them to. Cooks his favourite just for them to. And she's never ever cooked her flatmate a dinner or offered to cook her dinner ever. Is that weird? And she didn't make a plate for the girlfriend. No. Yeah, that's weird. See, that's weird. Ella, you have a hungry male fiancé right now.

Imagine you're living with Bree. You two live together. Ryan doesn't live there. He comes over early. It's just Bree and her Lululemons, and she cooks up a spicy bowl of ramen just for her and Ryan. Hey, Risey, you're looking pretty good tonight. He does look good.

That's fine. I would love to cook your meal, your favourite. I'd love to cook your favourite meal, Ryan. I'd say that's very kind. And then maybe later on we can watch some Netflix in my room before Ella gets home. Slurp some noodle. Well, that's just, yeah, that's cheating.

I know you like vanilla, but sometimes you need to taste the chocolate. What? What? I'm vanilla. Chocolate ramen? Okay, this has gone too far. That was for dessert. This has gone too far.

I would say on the context of the information, given that it's fine and that the girlfriend is overreacting, but I also understand how it is circumstantial, like you said. And we don't know all the details here. We just know... Like, has there been a weird vibe between the girl and the boyfriend? I'd like to hear the story from the girlfriend's perspective. Then I'd like to hear the story from the boyfriend's perspective.

That'd be three different perspectives, wouldn't it? It was Wednesday and I was real hungry. Someone offered me some noodles and I said, yes, now my girlfriend won't talk to me. The guy's like, it's not that deep, guys. Yeah. I was just hungry. Sorry, okay.

I'll give the ramen back. Sorry. Whether or not the flatmate's being over the top or not, I thought we could ask the question about flatmate kickoffs this afternoon. What did you get offside with your flatmates about? Seemed minor, should have been minor, wasn't, nearly tore the whole flat apart, like cooking noodles for someone else's boyfriend.

Seemed quite innocent, but it really wasn't. Using someone else's shelf on the shared fridge. I don't know. It can happen in a flatting situation. Someone just texted her and they said, what if the girlfriend had planned a meal for the night and she's ruined her boyfriend's appetite? See, these are the details we don't know.

These are the details we don't know. That's the context we don't have. Why do we need the rest of the information? On the back of the girl who is in trouble with her flatmate because she made her flatmate's boyfriend some ramen noodles.

We're asking what did the flat kickoff start from? What was the thing? Could be over nothing. So many texts on the ramen noodles before we move on too.

Someone said it was polite and she didn't sit there with him with candles lit for F's sake. A lot of people saying, why was the boyfriend at the house if the girlfriend's not even at the home yet? It's a good question. I believe she said that he was waiting for the girlfriend to get home. Like a come over after work thing.

Yeah, a lot of people are saying though that he shouldn't be there if the girlfriend's not there because he's not paying rent. Or he should wait in the car until she gets there or something. They were obviously all friends. Yeah, but if everyone knows everyone. Well, obviously not, maybe. Anyway, what caused the big flat kickoff just like that? This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.

Hi, Anonymous. Hi, how are you? We're good. What happened in your flat? So an old flat that I used used to live in we had like a situation where at night time we would put all our dishes into the dishwasher and then run it through the night. Yeah.

And this flatmate would wait until the dishwasher was on and then bring all her dishes out of her room and then leave it on the bench and then quickly lock herself in her room just to avoid snatching the dishwasher and wasting it. Yeah, what a child. What? So then I pulled her aside and I was like, hey, like I understand

that you probably don't want to do this, but it'd be great if you could bring it down beforehand and I'll even rinse it for you and stack it in there. I just want it down here. Yeah, well done. Okay. And then she, after that conversation, started bringing her dishes down, rinsing it, and only putting her dishes in the dishwasher. Yeah.

And then putting the dishwasher on at night time so the rest of us couldn't put ours on. Couldn't do your dishes. Anonymous. Anonymous, I just need to check. This wasn't your daughter, was it? This was an actual flatmate you had, eh? Yeah, actual flatmate, yeah. So then I had talked to her again.

I was like, hey, this is kind of being like really petty. Like this wasn't meant to target you. This was just me working as a team. And then so she told everyone that I was bullying her and that if I didn't move out, she was going to move out. Now that sounds reasonable and anonymous. Oh, wow. That sounds like a normal reaction.

I need to know what happened in the end. She ends up Anonymous. Oh, wow. That sounds like a normal reaction. I need to know what happened in the end. She ends up moving out. Oh, God. Dream result. She was off to cause chaos in another flat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Win. Thanks, Anonymous.

Someone said, I took exception to the gym bunny flatmates of ours making their protein shakes at 6 a.m. when I had the room next to the kitchen. It was very noisy, and I was a third year Otago student and needless to say I needed my sleep. I know what they're talking about. It's that little springy ball thing inside the

protein shake. Can you imagine how loud that would sound like at that time of the morning? I could have just taken the spring out. Yeah or just go outside like I used to do. You know go out into the backyard or the front yard and do it. Make your protein shake at the gym. My flatmate didn't want her new cat

in anyone else's room because it's not fair because she paid for the cat and she didn't want it loving anyone else but her. Okay, that one is absolutely unhinged. To add to that text, it ran away two weeks later and hasn't come back. Obviously

the cat. She smothered it. Yep smothered it and it was like get me out of here and ran off. Someone text through and they said flatmates after a big night out removed all of the labels on our tin cans for

fun. It caused a huge argument but looking back, quite funny now. Pain in the arse thing to do. But also funny. Funny to do it once. Yeah, not every time you get drunk. That's not a twice thing. We used to do a thing in our flat where whenever we came

home from a big night, we would play Cutty Fruity and one person holds a knife and the other person throws the fruit and you make a fruit salad in the kitchen. What was that game? Cutty Fruity and one person holds a knife and the other person throws the fruit and you make a fruit salad in the kitchen. What was that game? Cutty Fruity. No, what was the game on the phone? Yes, Ella, do you remember the game?

Yeah, it was Fruit Ninja. Fruit Ninja! Yes! On the iPad. Oh my god, it was original Fruit Ninja. That's such a good game. I once walked down the driveway at the same time as my flatmate's boyfriend and she accused us of sleeping together. Yeah, but were you?

Yeah. Was? They're like, not at the time, but like later on when they had broken up. Thanks for your messages and sorry about your flatting situations, everybody. I wonder where that cat is now. I like to think living its best life. Yeah, away from her. You've got to share your cat in a flat.

You can't hog the cat in a flat. That's flatting 101. Imagine someone pets the cat. Okay, now everyone has to start paying per pet. Per pet. Bree 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 if you can beat Brie today, not only do you get a three-month Neon subscription, you'll also get $100 cash. Welcome to the big time, Zach.

G'day, Zach. Hey, yeah. Hey, Bree. Hey, Clint. You ever played this game before, Zach? I played just over a year ago when you guys were wrapping up for the year. It was a one-shot and and beat me on Booksmart. Oh, okay. Love that movie.

Okay. Today, Zach, you're here for redemption. And today, our theme, because he's in the country right now, we're doing Brad Pitt movies. Ooh. How does that sit with you? Yeah, all right. I'll see how I go.

Okay. I'll give you the rules just to all right. I'll see how I go. Okay. I'll give you the rules just to be safe. I'll read out plot lines. You buzz in with your name as soon as you want to guess. If you get it right, you get a point. And when you get two movies right, you win the game. Okay, Zach? Sweet.

Good luck to both of you. Good luck, Zach. Here comes your first Brad Pitt movie. A depressed man meets a strange Zach. Fight Club? That's correct. I feel like saying they're all Brad Pitt movies makes it quite easy. I mean, he's done a few, but he's got his main ones.

Well, I put that one in there as my favourite. But yes, you're right. Fight Club was always going to be in there. Fight Club's at the top for him. It's not over. Let's go to our second Brad Pitt movie. In April 1945... Brie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

No. No, it's not that. Sorry, I clicked the wrong button. Oh, is it not that Benjamin Button. No. No, it's not that. Sorry, I clicked the wrong button. Oh, is it not that? No. Oh. You want a free guess, Zach? Fury?

What is going on? Well, like I said, there's not all that many movies, but well done, Zach. I mean, it was... There's heaps. You throw it up. There's heaps. I would have picked Fury, Curious Case of Benjamin Button,

Oceans, Fight Club, and what else? Mr and Mrs Smith. I'm Mr and Mrs Smith. They're the big five. We had World War Z. We had Inglourious Bastards. Claudia wanted to put in Megamind. We had Moneyball.

Claudia. Well done, Zach. Good job, mate. Seriously impressive work, Zach. You have won $100 and three months worth of Neon. They've got the latest blockbuster movies. You can sign up to Max on Neon for just $12.99 a month. Congratulations. Awesome.

Thank you. Thanks for playing. Even the 1945 one where I said that, all I said was in April 1945, The Allies. That relates to Fury and Inglourious Bastards. They're both World War II movies. Yeah. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

If I asked you, what do you think of the ages we as humans age the fastest? Oh, okay. Like, do you have any thoughts on that? Yeah, yeah. I don't think it's, like, I don't think it's before you turn

40. I'd say most people, and I might be wrong on this, I'd say most people would say around the time wrong on this, I'd say most people would say around the time you're having kids. Whatever time you're having kids. Because you're not getting much sleep. No. Very stressed. And your

whole world's thrown into disarray. Plus if you are the person who gave birth to the children, they are literally sucking the nutrients out of your body. Yeah. So I feel like a lot of people would guess that would be the case. And then a lot of people will say they get old when they retire too, when they stop working. Yeah, I've heard that.

I've heard that, which is interesting you say that because a new study has found- That's why you've got to work till you die. Yeah, that's what I'm all about. Working. Keep working. I'm going to be here when until you die. Yeah, that's what I'm all about. Working. Keep working. I'm going to be here when I'm 103. Hey, guys. That's Olivia Rodrigo.

Hey, kids. She's still making the hits and we're continuing to play them. Nah, studies found that there's two points in life when the ageing process does spike. So two different points. Neither of those, I would say, is when people are having kids, which I'd say is in your 30s. The first one, according to this study, is the age of 44.

Oh, okay. That's Ross Boss. It is, okay. That's Ross Boss. It is Ross Boss. It is Ross Boss. Do you reckon he just heard that and got worried? I don't know. I know he's not having a birthday party this year, so. Is he not?

No. Is he 44 this year? I think so. You reckon he's hating us talking about the fact he's 44 this year? Maybe. Nah, he doesn't care. He looks good. He's young, wild and free. Yeah, he's hating us talking about the fact he's 44 this year? Maybe. Nah, he doesn't care. He looks good. He's young, wild and free.

Yeah, he's living his best life. He looks at least 41. At least, yeah. Take a few years off. The other age they reckon your ageing process spikes is the age of 60. Okay. 44 and 60. Okay. 44 and 60. So the way they've determined this is they said many

factors that shifted around these two ages were linked to heart health. Yeah. They showed declines in the participants' ability to metabolize caffeine. Oh. High blood sugar levels. Yeah.

And a protein linked to something that I can't build up of fats and cholesterol so stay healthy if you can but either way it's coming for you so if it doesn't get you, are they saying if it

doesn't get you at 44 it'll definitely get you at 60 no I think they say you kind of putter along, you putter along, you putter along, and then 44 you drop to a certain level and then you putter along, putter along, putter along and then you drop and you plummet. Yeah.

Yeah, right. And then you putter along, putter along, putter along and then you die. You know what I found quite disappointing is this last Christmas when I went home was the first Christmas that I've been at home where my parents are now eating a different type of butter. It's the health conscious butter. Oh, they're on the cholesterol butter.

Yeah. I'm like, oh, we're at that stage. Is that stuff real? I don't know. Apparently that's what the doctor told them to do. Yeah, right. Yeah. Your dad won't be on it by choice.

No. The doctor will have told your mum and she would have put your dad on it. Oh, trust me. He's not happy about it. That's what happened in my house. He's not happy about it. Mum changed the butter on dad. Dad's like, this is like real butter.

Didn't hear the end of it. And to be honest, it didn't taste great. No. No. So there you go. We've found a moral in the story. This has been pretty grim, but we've found a moral. Enjoy the good butter while you can.

I mean, it's a great life motto. Because before you know it, you'll be on that awful cholesterol stuff. Big disagreements happening in my relationship at the moment, Clint. I would say, yeah, probably the worst it's ever been. Really? Things are tense? Yeah, it's ever been. Really? Things are tense. Yeah, it's really bad over really serious stuff. Things that mean a lot to both of us.

You need to get on the Married at First Sight couch with John Aitken. I mean, he's good. He's good. I don't know if he could solve this one, though. And the real hot Brazilian sex therapist. She's getting hotter as she gets older. And her solution is always, maybe you guys should try having more sex. It works some of the time.

I know. It's often pretty sound advice. The disagreement that I'm having in my relationship at the moment is over leftovers. Oh. It was. As in food? Yeah. Leftover food?

Yeah. Yeah, leftovers. It was a big discussion that went down last week when my partner, in my opinion, selfishly took, I want to say 95% of the risotto from the night before. And this, just to be clear, this happened last week, so this is a grudge you've been holding for at least seven days? Yeah.

Okay. I'm just getting all the facts. Can't let it go. Yeah. Can't let it go because I don't think, you know, we've gotten to the bottom of it. And I think I need to bring it here to the radio and we need to talk it out.

The producers get involved. I need to hear people's thoughts and opinions. And do you guys want to hear? I've written a criteria of what I believe comes into. Yeah, do. Deciding on leftovers and who in the relationship gets the leftovers. These things are really black and white. So yeah, give us the details.

So these are the three, it's threefold. There's three criteria. The first one is something that definitely comes into it. Who cooked it? Yes, that was going to be my first question. That's number one. The second one that comes in, whose favourite is it? Oh, interesting criteria.

I'll accept. Which I don't know if that's weighted as much as who cooked it, but I definitely think it comes into it. It's a mitigating factor. Yeah, it comes into it. It's a mitigating factor. Yeah, it comes into it. And the third one is what are the people up to the next day? Like what is involved in your day? How busy are you? How required are the leftovers for you in your day tomorrow?

Yes. So can we run the risotto through the criteria? Yes. Okay, first criteria, who made the risotto? So this is where it gets murky and a bit of grey area, but this is the situation. So I want to say I cooked 70%. Okay. And then she came in for the 30%.

Right. Okay? Mm-hmm. For the purposes of this, for clarity, I think we should say you both cooked the risotto. Yeah, I would agree. At 70-30? Nah, 70-30, I did most of theotto. Yeah, I would agree. At 70-30. Nah, 70-30, I did most of the work. No, you want your extra 20%.

Did you do the chopping or the stirring? I did the chopping. I started the risotto, so I did all the chopping. Yeah. And then did... Claudia's right, it's all in the stirring. And did a lot of the hard stirring, and then she just comes in at the end

and literally just stirred it for like 10 minutes. Okay, we'll lean the cooking towards you. But you both cooked it. No, I cooked it. She didn't just sit down to a fully prepared meal, did she? No. No. Okay.

No, but I'm being honest about it. Whose favourite is it? It's definitely probably more my favourite being the Italian. So I'd say it's my favourite. Do you know that? Yeah. Yeah. Like out of like her favourite's Japanese, my favourite Italian.

Sure. Okay. So it'd be my favourite. In terms of who has the busiest day, I think we need to talk about that. I think we can just bypass that one. I think we could just breeze past it. So you work on the radio. What does she do?

She goes there and does work. Isn't she a neonatal intensive care nurse? I mean, who's to say? And you talk on the radio. Who's to say what she does? Yeah, actually, you're right. Who knows what she does? Technically, I don't know.

I've never been there. I've never seen her doing it. But you did all the chopping, just to be clear. But you did 70% of the cooking. I did 70%. Okay, cool. There's one more criteria I think we haven't factored in. How much leftovers were there? Here's what went down.

So I got up that morning, was like, okay, sweet, I'm going to go get my portion. I was happy to have it. Do you think there were two full portions left? Yeah, I reckon. Two small, two medium portions? Probably two. Just above small.

Just above one large portion? I'd say it was one large portion. Okay. Yep. I go to the fridge. I go, here we go. I'm excited for this risotto. Yeah.

Make my, I think. There was a ramekin. And I want to say two, maybe one and a half tablespoons of risotto left over for me. I was happy to halve it. That's the kind of partner I am. I was happy to go 50-50 even though I did 70, she did 30. I was happy to go 50-50.

But no, a ramekin with the most dismal, piss poor effort risotto amount left in there. Now, I know you want a result and you want to know who gets the leftovers. I would say before we even get to that, if you're going to leave someone a ramekin worth of leftovers, you should have left none at all. I agree. You should have just taken it all. Because it only fueled my anger.

You're only going to get a taste for the risotto. I'd rather none. I'd rather none. All right. It's going open to the people. 0800-DIAL-ZM. In Bree's case, and in any case, are there any none. All right, it's going open to the people. 0800 dial ZM. In Bree's case, and in any case, are there any other factors

that we haven't factored in to the leftovers? Who gets the leftovers? Oh, no. Who gets the leftovers? 0800 dial ZM or text on 9696. Is your phone ringing? Is it your partner? She goes to the place of work and does something.

We don't know. Don't let that sway your decision. Bree and Clint. We just had a little heart-to-heart after the very heated leftovers trial of who should have got the leftovers. I was pretty upset everyone ganged up on me. Well, we missed the point. The leftovers should have been evenly divided 50-50 into two containers.

So you could have both had some leftovers. So you're saying that my partner was in the wrong. Oh, don't drag me into this. That's all I'm asking. I just thought I found a nice clean solution. That's all I'm asking. That's all I wanted. I don't ask for much.

I just ask for, you know, 50-50. Fine with me. Okay. It's a partnership. I just ask for, you know, 50-50. It's fine with me. Okay. It's a partnership. I think you should have got half. Yeah, I think you should have got half. It is a partnership and I'm fine with it. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. But no, I've got my, I want to say 6%. That was it. All I want for my birthday is a birthday thing. Anyway, we move on. But she's over it. She's clearly over it.

I'm over it. She's clearly over it. To be honest, I didn't really even give it too much thought. She didn't even bring it up. No. Sophie's here. Hi, Sophie. Hi, Sophie. Hi.

What do you reckon, Sophie? I don't bring Sophie into this. Oh, no. I can't get involved. Yeah, fair enough, Sophie. You don't want to take sides. Although I have nearly cried when I've gone to the fridge and mine hasn't been there.

She's on my side. She gets it. She feels it. Sophie, what's your date of birth? She knows. What's your date of birth, Sophie? 9th of May, 1986. Sophie, you were 16 in 2002, and on the 9th of May, this was at the top. What a banger.

Oh, it's a ripper, Sophie. I think it's off Pink's first album. Misunderstood. Yeah. Do you like it, Sophie? Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Absolute tune.

I agree. Wait there, we're going to do a birthday banger for Kay. Kia ora, Kay. Hi, Kay. Hi there. How's your day been, Kay? Oh, awesome. Oh, that's good to hear.

The 19th of Feb, 1995. All right, David. From America, that means you were 16 in 2011. We've done the calculations. Here it is. I'm here to fall in my way. This time it's no mistakes. I'm on the right track.

Baby, I will fall this way. Wait. Don't worry. Tell them. Lady Gaga. Tell them. Tell them. What do you reckon, David?

Good one? Baby, I will fall this way. Fall this way. I can't no more. David. I will fall this way. Better. I think he's so so he likes it so much he's lost for words

In the year 2002, Don't Let Me Get Me for Sophie. God, I have angered the pink community by suggesting that this was off Pink's first album. Don't mess with the pink community.

What are pink fans called? Pinkertons. Pinkers. Pinky Winkies. What are pink fans called? Pinkertons. Pinkers. Pinky Winkies. Clint, how dare you? Pink's first album was called Can't Take Me Home, featuring the great bangers like Most Girls and There You Go. I know There You Go.

What was Most Girls? Most Girls, when a man with the bling bling. Oh, banger. Banger. It's when pink was R&B. And then there was There You Go, looking pitiful.

Just before I let you go. What album was Get the Party Started on? That was after Misunderstood. Was it? Was it? Yeah, yeah, 100%. Yeah, right. 100%.

I think that was her third album. Guys, look, okay. Was it? What? We're Pinkertons. Don't come for us. We're fellow Pinkertons. Bri and I were there at the gig.

Yeah, we got Pink stuff. We're ping pongs. What did you say, Claude? What album was Get the Party Started? Misunderstood. It was. Stop talking, I think. Oh. Well, that song's...

No, that was Kelly Rowland. Oh my gosh, please. Oh, no. Oh, Family Portrait. That was on Misunderstood. Yeah. Wasn't it? It was on Jagged Little Pill. Oh, I love that pink album. Probably my favourite pink album, I reckon. And that's us.

That's the end of the show. We've got to get out of here. You've got a flight to catch. Yeah, I've got the last flight out to Crush Church tonight. Electric Avenue. Who are you most excited about seeing? The Prodigy. Oh, yeah.
