The tradies came back in the end, but couldn't

Beautiful. Cheers, guys. You're welcome. Hey, only four days till the weekend, okay? Hang in there. Don't wait. Bree and Clint. I was chatting to one of my friends over the Christmas break,

and he was talking to me about his dog, who is about eight years old. Oh, yeah. and he was talking to me about his dog who is about eight years old. Oh, yeah. And recently he found a few lumps and he had to take him to the vet and they had to get him cut out and he was terrified that he was going to lose his best mate. Yeah. And anyway, happy ending.

He's okay. The dog is good but he's getting to that point where he's getting a little bit worried where he doesn't know, but he's getting to that point where he's getting a little bit worried where he doesn't know how long he's going to have him. Yeah. And so my friend has gone out and done one of the most outrageous things I've seen someone do for their pet. Oh, no.

He hasn't had them taxi-dermied while he's still alive, has he? That would be pretty wild. But this is extreme. So to do something nice for his dog, he has gone out and bought a convertible. So the dog can ride around in a convertible. Because apparently, apparently the dog loves riding in a convertible. This is what we've been told by his owner. Who doesn't love riding in a convertible? I mean, it is a good time.

Wind in your hair. But does the dog not get the same effect from an open window? You'd think so. But apparently not good enough. Sunroof? Not good enough. He could have just got a car with a sunroof. Could have. But not good enough for this dog. My friend went out

and purchased a convertible. I kind of love it. This is your friend. I know this friend. He's got no kids. He's got no responsibilities. He's footloose and fancy free. He just wanted to give his dog the best years that he possibly could. I do get it. It's very extreme though.

And the downside is you own a convertible. I mean, it's not a bad thing. It's going to be shit in Auckland outside of the two months here in Auckland where it doesn't rain every day. That's a great point. In the meantime. In the one sunny day you get a fortnight, it'll be great. People do wild things for their pets.

They do, and especially sick pets too, but not always sick pets. We got a dog late last year, and he's on a weight loss journey at the moment. Okay. But he can't, because he's a bit big, he can't jump up into the back of our family car. Okay. Because it's a bit higher off the ground. It's like an SUV.

He can't get up there. He can't jump up yet? Once I Googled, just once I Googled dog stairs for cars. Now, all of my Instagram ads are for these retractable stairs you can get, which sort of slide back into your boat, but then when you need to, they slide out and they hook onto the back of the car so your dog can walk up into the back. That's a bit cute.

Yeah, but can you imagine pulling that out of the dog park? He's 43 kilos. He's a lot of dog to have to lift. I feel like it's smart But just lift your dog. Smart, because it could save you vet bills in the long run. In the future. Yeah. From bad joints.

Have you seen people that have really small dogs have the stairs at the end of their beds? Yes. Yeah. That's pretty common, eh? Soft stairs. Yeah. And so the dogs can run up the stairs. We want to ask about the extreme lengths

that you've gone to for your pet this afternoon. Might not be as far as a convertible. Might be. Someone just said on the text, is it an adult or child-sized convertible? No, a real full-blown adult vehicle that is registered and on the roads. But again, great question. He could have got one of those remote-controlled convertibles

just to drive the dog around the backyard. That would have been a lot cheaper. He would have saved a lot of money. Would have been a lot cheaper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, he wants to ride in the convertible with his dog, like that scene at the start of Zoolander where all the male models are going to the gas station. That's what he wanted. That's what he wants. 0800.00 at M or text

9696. We want to know the wildest thing that you or someone you know has done for your pet. Like what were the lengths that you went to to make your animal happy? We're talking about outrageous things you've done for your animal. A friend of mine went through a bit of

a cancer scare with his dog at the end of last year and then he's like, I need to give him the best years ever for his last year. So he went out and bought a bloody convertible. Makes sense to me. Emily's here. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily.

Hi. Who's this pampered pet? Can we know what species we're talking about first? Oh, yes. His name is Ollie and he's a dog. He's a dog. He's a springer spaniel. He's a springer spaniel.

Cute. He's a springer spaniel. So we have a, mum and dad have a corker spaniel and a springer spaniel. Right. And what's the outrageous thing that's happened to Ollie? He needed a $10,000 knee dysplasia surgery. And I bet Ollie got that $10,000 surgery. My house became a sweatshop for mask making during COVID.

Yeah. My mum made and sold so many masks. So you could finance the knee replacement? Yeah. It's almost like arthritis. They dig it out so that his knees will work properly. And then he has to lose a bunch of weight. So he is also on a weight loss journey.

But yeah, and then he has special pills. He also goes to physio and has acupuncture. Oh, does he do the water physio? Yeah, yeah, good boy he has special pills. He also goes to physio and has acupuncture. Oh, does he do the water physio? He goes swimming on a treadmill. Yeah, yeah, good boy. The water physio, yeah. The issue with doing a knee replacement on a dog is they have four. So you replace one, you've set a precedent.

It's a lot of knees. Or if I blow another one, you've got me, right? It's $40,000 worth of knees on the, oh God. Did you just hear Emily? She said that the dog went to acupuncture. Can you imagine a dog and you trying to stick needles into the dog? He just sat.

He loved to sit. Amazing. My dogs would not. Thank you Emily. That's a great start. We're going to talk to Sarah. Hi Sarah. Hi Sarah. Now Bree, we've been given a pre-warning with Sarah that the animal in question here is no longer with us. I'm so sorry to hear, Sarah.

That's okay. But I'm sure after we hear your story that this animal would have had the best life ever. Yes. Yes, he had the best life ever. Give me a kiss. How? What did you do for this animal?

Well, I only had him for three years. I got him as an old dog, which I didn't know. Bless you. I know. So he was 11 when I got him. How did you not know? How did you not know you were getting an 11-year-old dog? I got told he was 7, and then I took him to the vet.

And they're like, bro, this dog ate 7. We've counted the rings. Yeah, and then, oh God, we've had to do so much for him. He was definitely, he was trouble, but he was my baby. So I didn't think. What's the most outlandish thing you did for your 11-year-old dog, Sarah? Well, when he, so he fell down the step and his legs got popped out of place

so he couldn't walk for very long. Yeah. He had a fall. Yeah, he did. So I got him a fully convertible pram. It lied down, it had a mesh cover. It had a thing for me

to look into the top and put a shade on it. And I also got him a baby wrap. Wait, a baby swaddle? Yeah, I don't know if that's what it's called, but you kind of wrap it around yourself. I don't know, I've never had a baby.

Swaddle. No, no, no, no, you're talking about the Nuna wrap, where you can wear, so you could wear the dog. Yes, and I would, I would literally, I'd put it on, I'd put him in it, and I'd put him in it before. Sarah, did he ever have an accident when you had him wrapped around you? Um, like him falling out, yeah. No, no, like him doing ones or twos on you.

Oh, no, he usually just would do it in the house if he wanted to be naughty. You're a fantastic parent. Thank you. Thank you, Sarah. We appreciate it. Before we got Sarah on, Ella goes, guys, Sarah's dog's dead. So just keep that in mind. It sounds like he had a fantastic innings.

He went out well. Let's do Elizabeth finally. Hi, Liz. Hi, Elizabeth. Hi, how are you guys? Welcome back. Thank you. Thank you, mate.

It's so good to be back. Great to have you on. Tell us the crazy thing you did for your pet. So it's two pets. Okay. The first pet, so they're two dogs. Right. So they're Bernese Mountain Dogs.

Big dogs. That was my dream dog as a kid. Yeah, huge dogs. I know the exact ones. They're black, white, and like a tanny orange color. They're not going in a front pack. Yep, teddy bears. So big Bernese dogs need big cars.

So we had to buy a brand new Toyota Highlander. Oh, my God. You bought a brand new car just for the dogs. Absolutely, just for the dogs. But we decided that we needed two dogs. So we needed to buy some land. So we had to buy a lifestyle property for our dogs. You know what?

I love this energy. This is the energy we need in 2025, Elizabeth. You bought an entire farm for your dogs. Absolutely. When people say the dog has gone to a farm, and it usually means something else, no, your dogs literally went to a farm with you that you bought so they could live there, Elizabeth. Absolutely.

We bought it for the dogs. Dream life. If you can do it, why not? You're my type of person. I like that energy, Elizabeth. That's good. Bree and Clint. Do you remember the raw dogging trend from last year?

Yeah, the aeroplane one. Yeah, people were raw dogging flights. That was my idea and still is to this day of torture. If you missed it, to raw dog a flight means to have no social media, no Wi-Fi, no entertainment screen. No food. No movies. And no sleep.

The only thing you can have is the flight navigation menu. You can have the map so you can watch the plane flying across the ocean. You can't have music. You don't wear headphones. You don't stream a podcast. You just lock in. I'd rather eat. You don't stream a podcast. You just lock in. I'd rather eat a sheep's testicle than do that. I would.

Legit. That's sheep dogging. Yeah, sheep dogging. Different thing altogether. That's raw sheeping. Yeah. There's a new one for 2025. I wonder if you could do this one.

Okay. This is raw dogging a movie. Does that mean, okay, I feel like I know what this is. Yeah. Does that mean you pick the movie, you don't look up what it's got on IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes, you don't look up the plot line, you don't look up who's in it, you literally just pick it and watch it?

No, but that's a good way to do it. That's a good way to do it. No, this is how you raw dog a movie. You can choose the movie any way you like, however you get it. It can be suggested to you, whatever. But you have to watch the entire movie without looking at your phone once. You don't pick up your phone, not once. The only screen you use is the enormous one in front of you with a movie on it.

So it's like going to the cinema. Effectively, yeah. Because I don't look at my phone when I'm at the cinema. I reckon you would be one of the rare ones these days. People are so addicted to their phones. I find it so rude when someone's on their phone in the cinema. There's a bit more. When the movie's finished, you still don't pick up your phone.

Okay. You don't read anything about the movie after you watch it. You don't Google the characters, the plot, the sequels, the reviews, nothing. You go to bed after watching the movie and you go to sleep. So you put the movie on, you watch the movie, you go, that was a great movie, and then you go to bed. That is raw dogging a movie. Could you do it?

That is so 1995, isn't it? So 1995. Yeah, I get really angry at myself when I'm watching a movie and you find yourself on your phone and I'm like why am I on my damn phone especially if the movie's good

yeah I'm like why am I doing this yeah yeah yeah it's because we're all addicted it's because we're all addicted and you literally have to put your phone in the other room when I said no

looking at your phone I saw Claudia through the glass just mouth oh no no no oh no and then she picked up her phone and looked at it.

Can't even raw dog the show. Bree and Clint. The show's brought to you by KFC. You can get a free bucket hat with the Summer Bucket right now at KFC. While stocks last, available in-store only. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, tell us about the fire raid, which is, of course,

the concert that is being put on to raise money for all of the victims in the Californian fires. Yeah, it's going to be fantastic, Bree. So basically what they've done, it's really gotten legs. In fact, it's so popular, it's now going to be across two separate venues across the road from each other. Like it was going to be just the Kia Dome, now it's going to be across two separate venues across the road from each other. Like it was going to be just the Kia Dome, now it's going to be the two massive stadiums

that are across the road from each other in Inglewood. Let me tell you some of the people that are performing. This is cute. Billie Eilish, Green Day, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink, Rod Stewart, Tate the Craze, Stevie Nicks, you name it. Like Phineas, obviously, of course. Gracie Abrams.

It's going to be enormous. John Mayer will be there. Wow. And all of this is to raise money. Yeah, I know. It's huge. To raise money for the wildfire relief funds that have been very active since the fires started about two weeks ago here in LA.

So it's going to be huge. Next Thursday, the 30th, you can buy tickets to it if you're local. I think you'll be streaming it on... I don't know how they go. They'll be definitely streaming it online. She don't know. Apple TV. Apple TV out.

Okay, there you go. You love to see it. And yet it is not even going to begin to scratch the surface on the amount of damage done by those fires. Dean, you were in Los Angeles while it was happening. Were you okay? Were you affected by the fires at all? I had to evacuate. On the Wednesday

I had to evacuate. There was a fire started in the Hollywood Hills and I live at the bottom of the Hollywood Hills. Not that close to where the fire was. I had to evacuate. I had to go and pick up one of my friends, group text all of us, like 20 of us and said, is anyone near Hollywood to come pick me up? I can't get anywhere and I'm right

near the fire. Far out. I actually drove in. I got him and I drove up Highland and you could see the flames at the end of the street in front of me as I was driving towards the flames and all the traffic was coming the opposite way towards me and I was the only one going towards it. It was a wild, yeah.

It's been a really horrible couple of weeks as you can imagine. I've got goosebumps listening to that story, Dean. That's amazing. We're so glad that you are okay and your updates are really interesting. You can see Dean's social media if you want to follow him. He's at Dean McCarthy on Instagram. And that's the latest. Got home to Aussie for a couple of weeks over the Christmas break.

It was lovely. Got to see my family, hang out, spend some time in the sun. It was fantastic. But there was one particular road that I noticed in Queensland when we were driving through it that I was like, oh, typical Aussie road. There's a lot of funny names. Was it Darren Lockyer Place? I'm pretty sure there's Darren Lockyer Highway.

There will be. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But no, this is a street in... Wendell Sailor Marina. Yeah, they've got them all. All the greats. BG's Way.

Oh, yeah, okay. There is BG's Way. For Barry Gibb. For Barry Gibb. No, this is a road in Queensland, and I have driven on this road before, but I feel like it hit harder now that I've been away. Okay, sure.

The road that I was driving on in Queensland, this is legit. I'm not making this up, so it's fine to say. Oh, that's going to be racist now, isn't it? Now that you've said that, it's going to be racist. Bald Knob Road. That is a legit road in Queensland, Australia. That's good stuff, hey? That's the name of the road.

I'm trying to think of things that used to mean things that now mean something different. You know, like I had a teacher at school whose name was Gay. Yes. She has said that she's given up all hopes of any grandchildren ever being named after her because the meaning of the word has changed so much. But what could bald knob have meant? I mean, maybe it was a really shiny gear stick.

Yeah, or like a hell devoid of any vegetation. Yes. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to think what vegetation. Yes. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to think what it could be. Okay, yeah, that's bad. So I decided I'd look up a few more. These are all real streets or avenues or those type of things in Australia.

Yeah. Another one in South Australia is Nowhere Else Road. Oh, yeah. Nowhere Else Road. Which I yeah. Nowhere Else Road. Which I don't really, doesn't really make sense to me. It's a bit ominous, really. Yes. There's Useless Loop Road in WA.

Yeah, good. Which is pretty good. Haystack Lane in South Australia. Odd Street in New South Wales. This is one of my favourites though. In, I believe, South Australia, there is Crackatinny Close. Is there really? Crackatinny.

Crackatinny. Close. And it means they open a beer. It's not like mispronunciation of like a different language. No. Crackatinny Road. Crackatinny Road. Yeah. And my favourite, one more shout out to, obviously,

Morning Glory Avenue. Oh, no, that one's a great one, yeah. Yeah, which is another fantastic avenue. Hard in the morning. Yes, but great in the afternoon. A lot of congestion, that's why. Yeah. It's bad for traffic.

Yeah. I know a few of these around New Zealand as well, and we can talk about those next, but let's get yours on, on 0800 dials. Let's try and compile the list of the funniest, worst, weirdest street names here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. 100%. Do you know one? Do you live on one?

We'd love to hear from you. 0800 dials it in, or you can text us on 9696. Did you grow up on Bald Knob Land? Can you imagine the people that grew up on Bald Knob? Bree and Clint. Compiling the funniest lists of street, road or close names in New Zealand. As we've looked at Australia's and we want to see if New Zealand is funnier. Yeah, a lot of them haven't aged well.

And some of them are like, some of them just, like there's one that is infamous here in Auckland, which I'm not going to say out loud, and I encourage you not to say it. I know we can say it. Which one? I'll say it how it's meant to be said. It's not there. It's one that we drive down.

Okay, yep. Spelt, it's in Graylin, spelt C-O-C-K-B-U-R-N Street. I know the one. Pronounced Coburn Street. Not spelled that way though. C-O-C-K-B-U-R-N. Not spelled that way. Coburn.

It's like, do you guys not see the other two letters in there? I see them. I definitely see them. It's got to be one of the worst named streets in New Zealand. I really like this one that someone has text through. And this road is apparently between Dargaville and Rural White and it's Horny Blow Road. Fantastic road.

Great road. Great road. A lot of good times on that road. A few texts coming in for Shooting Butts Road. Oh, that's fun. And Martinborough. I like it. Yeah.

What about Muff Road? Muff Road. Is that right? Hold on. I'm going to put it into. And Or on. I'm going to put it into. An orari. I'm going to put it into my maps. Yeah, yeah.

Put it into your maps. Okay. And see if it's ever come up before. See if you've ever played a visit to. It's come up a few times. Muff Road. And where? In O-R-A-R-I.

It is. There it is right there. Yeah. 16 hours and 35 minutes. The listeners of the Brian Clint Show would not lie to us. Don't need 16 hours. That's a pretty long time. Sixten Road in Hamilton.

You just got excited about the SEX bit of that. There is Beaver Road on your way from Auckland to Hamilton. Beaver Road. It's a full exit. There's a Beaver Road exit on the Southern Motorway. It is an exit. Yeah, yeah. They had to take down a sign at Mercer, which is between Auckland and Hamilton,

which said it was 69 kilometres to Hamilton. They had to take the sign down. In fact, they've changed the sign. They haven't even moved the sign. They've just changed the sign to say 67km. Why would they put 69 in the first place? Because where they moved the sign. They've just changed the sign to say 67km. Why would they put 69km in the first place? Because where they put the sign is 69km to Hamilton. But why did they choose to put the sign right there is what I want to know.

Someone would have been like, oh, this is hilarious, and then it backfired. Fiddler's Hill in Poohoi. Change the name. Change the name of that one. Which one? What's it called? Fiddler's Hill. Yeah, that's not great, is it? Fiddler's Hill in Poohoi. Change the name. Change the name of that one. Which one? What's it called? Fiddler's Hill. Yeah, that's not great, is it?

Fiddler's Hill Road. Change it to Violin Players Road or something. Someone said Harbutt Avenue. I think they've got to put a D in the middle. Yeah. Yeah. Someone else said Dorking Road. What's wrong with Dorking?

Never mind Dorking Road in Wellington. Sackville Street. Sackville Street. Oh, Sackville Street in Auckland. I've been on Sackville Street. Sackville connects to Coburn. It does. In Grey Lynn. Sackville connects to Coburn. Oh my god.

Yeah. That is brilliant. They've done it on purpose. And if you go another 150 metres, you get to the Bullock Track. You do too. You do. Oh, Greylands. Filthy, isn't it?

Dirty buggers in Greylands. Inner City, Auckland is disgusting. Disgusting. Oh, my God. How have I never realised that? That's brilliant. Oh, and shout out to Shag Point in Dunedin. Great spot.

Great spot. For fish and chips. Bree and Clint. How many? How many? How many? How many? That's a good amount.

Clint, Bree, Tamara, today's topic. How many days until your birthday? So Tamara, you need to choose who to go head to head against. I'll go Bree. You think you have more days to your birthday than Bree has to her birthday? Oh, I'm just guessing. I have no idea. Do you know her birthday? No.

I'll tell you this, Tamara. We can't give any details away. No, no, no. One of us has a birthday in two weeks' time, and one of us had a birthday two weeks ago. So there's someone you definitely want to get. It's a bit of a minefield out here at the moment. There's someone you definitely don't want to get, but we can't tell you who that is.

But just confirming you want to go with Brie. Yeah. All right. Sweet. I think we start with Claudia. Let's go. Claudia, how many days until your birthday? So, pretty soon, guys.

146 days to my birthday. If you want to write that down. 146. Got it. Oh, she's a Gemini. I think we go to Tamara next. Tamara, how many days until your birthday? 297.

297. Whoa, that's a fair way away. So you just had your birthday. Hey. So you just had your birthday. Hey? Did you just have your birthday? Well, she had it 60-odd days ago, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's impressive.

Semi-recent. Okay, okay. Just me and Bree left. Okay. Go, Clint. I can tell you, Tamara, if you'd chosen me, you would have won. It's 12 days till my birthday. Very soon. And I just had my birthday, which means it's 348 days away.

So close. And you had a good chance too. I did. Oh, wow. We have a consolation prize for you tomorrow. We're going to give you some KFC chicken dollars. Congratulations. Oh, thank you so much.

No worries. Well done, Tamara. And happy birthday for November. Thank you. And happy new year for this year. Yeah, yeah. Oh, and Merry Christmas. And happy Easter.

It's coming up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mazel tov. What are you doing for Waitangi? Bree and Clint. On the weekend, I was at the T20 Black Clash in Christchurch. The seventh annual one. God, I love the Black Clash. Christchurch. The seventh annual one. God, I love the Black Clash.

It's such a good event. It's not even real cricket, but I get so invested in it and I just get sucked up in the moment. It's still good cricket, though, isn't it? It is. Yeah, like it's all ex-rugby players. Not all ex-rugby players. Will Jordans.

Yes. And there's a few current ones. Jordy Barrett's been in there. Jordy Barrett's been in there. Jordy Barrett's been in. So it's rugby versus cricket, essentially. They used to have Richie McCaw as the captain. Yeah, I was there. I mean, Kieran Reid's pretty good too.

Kieran Reid's lovely. And he's good at cricket too. Yeah. Because he, I learned this on the weekend, that Kieran Reid played for New Zealand in the under-19s team. A lot of these high-level sportsmen in New Zealand get to a point, because they all play cricket and rugby at school. So cricket in the summer, rugby in the winter, and they get to a point in their career where

they have to pick. Yeah. And then you have people like Jeff Wilson, who played for the All Blacks and the Black Caps. I mean, can you leave some for the rest of us, Jeff? Exactly. For God's sake. Anyway, this is my third year emceeing the event,

which is I host like the halftime show and do like the big screen at the game. And it's such a good day. It's really, really fun. And this year I had an intimate moment with one of the celebs. Okay, this is a big tease. I feel like it is a big tease. Because there's a lot of celebs there. There is

a lot of celebs. I'm going to rattle through a few off the top of my head. Sean Johnson, we said Kieran Reid before. We had the likes of Lou Vincent was there. I know that Lee Hart was there. Did you ever Lee Hart was definitely there. Intimate moment with Lee Hart. Yes, from Snacka Changi.

Good looking fella. Will Jordan, handsome man. Oh, he's good looking, isn't he? Who? Who was your intimate moment with? I shared an intimate moment with West Indies legend the the universe boss himself, Chris Gale. Damn. And if people don't know who that is, one of the greatest batsmen ever.

Yeah. I think he had the record for a T20 cricket game. It was like 175 runs. If you don't follow cricket, he is a global superstar. But not just because he's a good cricketer, he's a rock star. He is. And when you say you shared an intimate moment with him, that's crazy because you would probably only be the 4,981st woman in the world

to have an intimate moment with Chris Gayle. Here's what went down. So I obviously knew he's a very flirtatious guy. He loves to flirt in interviews. And I said, I need to shut this down. He's actually famous for it. Yeah. And he's one of the only guys who gets away with it.

Don't blush, baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so I decided I'd turn it around on him. So the first time I interviewed him, I said to him, the only reason I said yes to doing this gig was that I could meet you and look into those big

beautiful eyes of yours. And he was really taken off guard. Really? Anyway, so that was early in the night and then right at the end, I interviewed him after he got out at the crease. So I interviewed him after he got out at the crease. And so I interviewed him, did all, you know, serious stuff.

And right at the end, I went, oh, look at the time, Chris. Look at the time, Chris Gayle. It's time for the kiss cam. Call to the kiss cam. Oh, you actually did? Call to the kiss cam. Yeah. The kiss cams come up

I went oh look at the And I said go on And I pointed at my cheek Yeah And I said give me one On the cheek Yeah He's lent in

And I boom Turned around and got him Yeah that's bloody good Afterwards He looked at me You're a very naughty girl, Bree. But I love you. He said, I usually do the sexual harassing.

Not you. We checked it off with his manager before it was fine. Oh, well done. That's a great scalp. Yeah. Put that one in the collection. Mate, it's on video. If you see it, it'll be online somewhere.

Yeah. The man has a nightclub in his house. He has a nightclub in his house in the West Indies. He's a legend. He's the real deal. He's also staying on in New Zealand for two weeks, so you guys could catch up. Oh, look, he might have messaged me, actually.

Yeah, yeah. Bree and Clint. It's the age-old question that we've asked ourselves many, many, many times, Clint. Am I my parents' favourite child? Oh, you ask it too. I thought I was the only one. I feel like everyone has thought about it at some point in their life. Do you think people who think they're the favourite think about it more?

No. Do you think people who think they're not the favourite think about it more? I, no. Do you think people who think they're not the favourite think about it more? I think when you know you're not the favourite, it affects you more. Really? Yeah. Oh, it definitely affects you more. But do you kind of park it and not revisit it? Yeah, probably.

Stupid parents. Whereas if you think you're the favourite, every time you go home, you're like, gosh, they're going to be happy to see me. I'm the favourite. Gosh, they're gonna be happy to see me i'm the favorite gosh they're lucky getting a visit from me i'm almost certain i've never been the favorite um uh you could be sorry a bit slow i was in my head i was like man sucks to be you i'm so confident i'm so confident that I am the favourite. That's why I was expecting you to go, yeah, same.

But no, it just was crickets. No, no. I live here in a crystal palace of my own thoughts. Oh, my God, that's hilarious. And that is typical favourite child behaviour. So I kind of believe that you are the favourite. Same. There is research that is out today from the American Psychological Association,

so they're legit, and they've revealed that your parents more than likely do have a favourite child. Oh, that's not what people need to hear. I know. This is going to cause fights, but hey, we're past the Christmas period, so it's fine. Okay. I'm the only parent on this show. Yes.

And I only have two to choose from, and I have two great children, so. It's early days. And it's early days, I guess. But I can genuinely say that I don't have a favourite. I can't. And I don't understand how you could have, unless you have a real shit bag in your family. Which I mean.

Yeah, you could. You could. But again, that would be later in life, wouldn't it? Much later. Anyway, this research said that parents may be more inclined to favour children who are agreeable with them and conscientious. Nailed it. And more often that is the daughters.

Oh. That's what this research says. Yeah, yeah. So initially they thought it was just mothers that would tend That is the daughters. Oh. That's what this research says. Yeah, yeah. So initially they thought it was just mothers that would tend to favour the daughters and the fathers would favour the sons, right? Yeah. However, this particular study found that both mothers and fathers were more likely to favour their daughters.

I don't have a son. That's the problem. If you had a son. Maybe if I had a son. then your daughter would be your favourite. Then I was going to say my son might be my favourite. Oh, I see what you're saying. No, this just says the daughters are usually the favourite regardless. Regardless.

Yeah. Yeah, well. Because they tend to be more agreeable and conscientious. Daughters, agreeable. Well, it depends what stage in life. It does. Yeah. It does.

It also says that favouritism for a child is often based on a few other things. Do you want to hear? Yeah. So it says, obviously. Earning potential. How much money can this kid make me? So obviously we just covered the gender, sons, daughters, temperament, personality traits.

Talent. It says agreeables. Like if one of them's real good at a sport that you like. Yeah, I mean, that could come into play. But it also says. If you had a first 15 son and a Roblox son, which one are you going to gravitate towards? No, it would not affect who I like more.

It would not. If you had a kid who was, like, in the first 11 and was going on, like, trips to Australia for tournaments and you had a kid who was trying to start a YouTube channel, which one are you going to...? That would not affect which one I would love more. It would, however, if one loved New South Wales in the state of origin and one loved Queensland, clearly I would pick the Queensland.

So you are here to disprove the unconditional love theory with that, aren't you? Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When it comes to... Not under my roof! When it comes to state of origin, unconditional love is out the window. Bree and Clint. Very, very exciting.

One member of the Bree and Clint show is getting married this year. And that's where you're all meant to do, like, girly screams. Oh, I was doing that. It's producer Ella. She's getting married in April, And we're all very excited For you How dare she get married Before you Be honest

Is there a little bit Of you that's a little bit Like jealous No comment Silence No comment No I'm happy Happy for you

Happy for you No I'm very excited For you and Ryan I think you're An amazing couple And you're getting married In April And you and Ryan. I think you're an amazing couple and you're getting married in April. And you told us all, I mean, like last year sometime that we were all invited.

Yeah. Weren't we? You told me. You told Claudia. You told Clint. You guys are invited. This is the date. Put it in your diaries.

Yeah. Anyway, a few weeks went by, a few more weeks went by and then one day, Ella, when you weren't there, Clint says to Claudia and I, don't tell Ella, but I can't go to

her wedding. When was this? I can't go to her wedding because my wife and I have another person's wedding on that same weekend. We have two weddings on the same day. And if push came to shove, we like the other people more. Yeah, I mean, it comes down to that, doesn't it? No, no, no, it doesn't.

I chose them. Anyway, he can't go. You've got another wedding on that you committed to. I told them about four weeks before I told you, Ella. But the issue was I kept trying to summon the courage to tell you that I couldn't come to your wedding, but then you kept having like some bad days and some bad weeks. And I was like, well, I can't drop the bombshell on her now.

That is fair. He did want to tell you, but then, yeah. I needed to wait until you were on an upswing before I could tell you. On a good mood day. Yeah, fair enough. And then you did wait for the upswing and you told her and it brought her right back down. I did shit a tear. Anyway, there's been a conversation because we came into work Yeah, fair enough. And then you did wait for the upswing and you told her and it brought her right back down.

I did shit a tear. Anyway, there's been a conversation because we came into work after obviously being on holidays and Ella's handed us all wedding invitations and you still got one, Clint. Yeah, I wanted to show you the registry website. And Ella straight away goes, here's your invitation, Clint. I know you can't come, but there's the registry. She's playing the guilt card so she can get a good wedding gift. And the conversation has started amongst us.

Does Clint Roberts still need to buy Ella a wedding gift because he can't attend the wedding? But does he still need to buy her a gift? I would argue he needs to get an expensive gift. You think I have to get you a bigger gift because I'm missing the wedding, but does he still need to buy her a gift? I would argue he needs to get an expensive gift. You think I have to get you a bigger gift because I'm missing the wedding? Yeah, I told you there's a vacuum on there that I want from you. A vacuum. What is it, a Dyson?

Oh, Samsung. Oh, there you go. You can hook that up with Samsung. Oh, easy. I'll get you a free one. Easy. Easy peasy. But the question is, well, I think we need to put it to the people.

Oh, wow. Okay. Does Clint still need to buy Ella and Ryan a wedding gift because he can't go to the wedding? I don't get to enjoy the bar tab. I don't get the meal. Oi, you don't get to see me and Ryan get married. I don't have to watch you and Ryan get married.

The bar tab's first. Yeah. Does the guilt get to you that you've chosen other friends of yours over producer Ella? I'm going to have to get them a gift as well. It's going to be an expensive weekend for me. Very expensive weekend. What do you think, Claudia?

Should Clint be buying Ella a gift? Absolutely. Yeah. I kind of think she should. Should my gift be to the same value as the gift that you get? Or can it be lower? You should probably buy me and Bree gifts too, since you're not going to be there.

I like that. We're going to feel really sad on the day. And we're carrying the reputation of the show. If we have to show up for you, you can show up for us. All right. I feel like I know which way this is going to go. But go on, chime in. I reckon.

Okay, spend my money. Spend my money, New Zealand. I reckon you're wrong. I think most people are going to be on your side. Do you think? Yes. Because a lot of people will say if you don't attend the wedding. You don't go.

Yeah. But you need to take into account that you were invited. Yep. There was another wedding on that you'd already committed to. So you couldn't come to this wedding. So is a nice card potentially enough? With money in it, yeah. I'll shove your card up your...

0800 dials at M, or text to 9696. First though, birthday banger. Yeah, birthday bangers. Brie and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Yeah, birthday bangers are back for 2025. If this is the first time you've heard it, this is where you can call us. Tell us your birthday, and we have a system in here where we can figure out what was number one when you turned 16, and then we can all reminisce and we'll play our favourite one. Sophie gets the first birthday banger of the year.

Kia ora, Gaz. Hello, Gaz. Hey, how you doing? Happy New Year, mate. Thank you, and to you guys. What was the best gift you got for Christmas last year, Gaz? Oh, last year, I don't know. I got, ooh, probably a nice pair of new sunglasses was probably the best gift.

Perfect. That's risky business. The sunglasses are a very personal thing. Not for people who wear the same sunglasses all the time. Oh, yeah, true. You just get them a pair that's not scratched. Then they're happy. Yeah, that's what I mean.

No scratches. Yeah, yeah. Happy. Okay, Gaz, what's your date of birth? what it means. No scratches. Yeah, yeah. Happy. Okay, Gares, what's your date of birth? So it's the 20th of January, 1974. Wait, is it your birthday today? It is. Happy birthday, Gary.

Happy birthday, Gary. Thank you. You were 16, though, in the year 1990. And, Gary, here's your birthday banner. Love Shack, B-52's Ripper Overtune. Great song. What do you reckon, Gary? Are you a fan?

Oh, it's a banger to me, but it gets played quite a bit. But anyway, it's a good song. Where is it getting played a bit? Weddings. Oh, yeah. When I was 16, I used to hear it quite a bit, but anyway, it's a good song. Where is it getting played a bit? Weddings. Oh, yeah. When I was 16, I used to hear it quite a bit. Yeah, fair enough. Well, obviously.

But Gary, that was 35 years ago. Yeah, yeah. Okay, wait there, wait there, wait there, wait there. What are we going to do? Oh, it's between, I mean, Kill Bill, a huge song, but a bit slow, I feel like, for our first birthday banger of the year. So it's between J-Lo and the B-52s. I've been told off by Ross already once today, so I'm going to vote for Jennifer Lopez, Ain't It Funny.

I haven't been told off yet, so I pick Love Shack, the B-52s. You're in credit. Claudia, you also haven't been told off, so what's going to win? Yeah, I haven't been told off. I want Love Shack. Okay, it's a done deal. Yeah, baby! I had nothing to do with this, Ross.

Okay? It was all me and Claudia. And Gary. And Gary, mainly Gary. Happy birthday, Gary. Thanks for playing Birthday Banger. Happy birthday, mate. Thank you. Bree and Clint, you're on ZM. Bree and Clint.

Bree and Clint. Carry you home, whether it's tonight or 55 years down the road. There's Alex Warren with a song about carrying you home. I assume when you've had too much to drink. Mate, he obviously isn't talking about me. He can't get married to me. That's what I thought too. I was like, carry me, brother.

I would be quite. The dead weight. The dead weight on his back. I humiliated myself on Instagram last night. I do it semi-regularly, but I didn't mean to. No, not for fun. By accident. Looking for some genuine advice.

We're doing like a budget DIY reno on our wardrobe at the moment. It's kind of crusty and we're just trying to find some ways to make it a bit nicer. Yeah, freshen it up. And there was this shelf. It's one of those modular wardrobe things and all the shelves got to lock into place and there's this thing underneath where I wanted to remove the shelf and I

looked underneath it and I was like, I don't have the tool to unlock this thing to remove the shelf. And so I went on Instagram and I was like, I don't have the tool to unlock this thing to remove the shelf. And so I went on Instagram and I was like, hey, guys, does anyone know what tool I use to undo this thing? And I went underneath the thing and I showed the hole. You know, my partner came in. My partner came in and said to me and held up your Instagram story and said to me, is this satire? He's joking, isn't he?

This is a joke. This is satire. And I said, no, I think it's serious. The tool I needed to complete my DIY renovation of my wardrobe. Was yourself. Was myself and a screwdriver. Just a regular. Just a regular flathead screwdriver. Flathead. In my wardrobe. Was yourself. Was myself and a screwdriver. Just a regular. Just a regular flathead screwdriver.

Flathead. In my defence, in my defence, it's called a locking cam. I've learnt that now from the 500 DMs I got from people telling me that it's a screwdriver into a locking cam. In my defence, the bit where you put the screwdriver is off centre. So you know how in a screw the screwdriver goes in the centre? This one, the slot is off centre and you kind of run the

screwdriver around the outside. And so I thought it was like a... Right. I thought it was like some kind of key. Some kind of key that you'd put in there to... Who do you think you were? Indiana Jones? Do you think you need some like skull and bone key or something? No, I thought it was Big Wardrobe trying to make you buy something

that only they can change their wardrobes. You know how Apple computers, a lot of them can only be unscrewed with a special Apple screwdriver. Yeah, did you think you needed like a Gary key or something? Yeah, yeah. Did you get that joke? Gary key? Oh, not an Ellen key.

Not an Ellen key. Gary key. No, I was just brushing over the fact that I didn't know what a Gary key was and maybe I'm not as handy as I thought I was. Clint's like, no, it's happened again. I found today the New Zealand Herald has published a list of the DIY jobs that every person should be able to do. What about the timing?

How is that for timing? How is that for timing? And I thought we could go around the room and we could go through this list and I can find out if I am the least capable member of the Bree and Clint show. Let's see how capable we all are. So Bree's in here. I know your partner does a lot of the DIY but you do some. I do some.

Claudia, you give a... I believe I can do anything. Unwarranted confidence sometimes. And Ella is growing her own veggies at the moment. Slay. So, slay, babes. Here's the list. Yes or no, can you do these things?

Okay. First one, unblock a sink. Yes, I've done it. What do you mean? Yes, I believe I could. Like get the hair out of the drain? Because yes. No.

Take it apart and clean it. The water is not going down. Can you get the water to go down the drain? Nah, get Ryan to do that. Okay, that's a no for Ella, but a yes for the other three of us. I think I could, yeah. You just get a plunger and you go. Get some Drano.

Or you get some Drano, yeah. Pop it down. Next one. Can you fix a leaky tap? If your tap is leaking, do you back yourself to be able to fix that leaky tap? No. I could give it a good go. What the heck?

So I believe it would be a spanner that I would need. Yeah, yep. I feel like you'd need a spanner and some of that tape. Tape, the white tape. The white tape. The plastic tape. Plummas tape. I think we're good.

I think all of us just then. I think we're fine. Yeah, we just proved that. Oh, and turn the water off. And turn the water off. The mains. Turn the mains off. Turn the mains off.

Next one, could you fill cracks in a wall before you were repainting it? Yeah. I did that. I've done that. So could you skim the wall? Yeah. Done it. Oh, like actually fully skim it.

Like sandpaper it. And make sure it's like. Put a fork in there. Put a plaster. Put a plaster, yeah. Oh, plastering is a real art. You're just filling cracks. You're not. You're not. Not like. No. Fully plastering is a real art. You're just filling cracks. You're not...

Not like... No. ...fully plastering a wall. No, not jib-stopping. Okay, I can fill the cracks in. And if you screw it up, just put more paint over the top. Yeah.

Yeah, we're good. Just add more paint. We're good, we're good, we're good. Could you loosen a sticking door if your door was jamming a bit? Do you think you could get in there? Oh, you'd sand it down, right? The door's...

Yeah, you just sand it down. Yeah, just find out where it's hitting. Yeah, and just sand that back. Or wait for the temperature to change in the house to shift back. Yeah. It's probably the house's fault. You know what we did? I just took the door off. Oh, genius. That's a great idea.

Put a little bed in there. Alfresco. Hang a picture. Could you guys hang a picture? I do. I hung one a couple of weeks ago but with those little sticky things I got into the sticky things they're great because I said to my wife

I was like it leaves less marks on the walls and then one night it was particularly hot last summer and humid oh this happened to me too three of our pictures

fell off the wall in one night in the middle of the night smash so don't do that you need to the thing I didn't realise when I started using the sticky things is you need to stick them on the wall.

And leave them for a bit. And then leave them for a couple of hours. And then you put the picture on it. But we know that now, so we're good. Yeah, we're good. And then the last one, it says, this is on the New Zealand Herald list of DIY jobs that everybody should be able to do.

Hang wallpaper. Oh, no. No way. No. First of all, who's getting wallpaper in 2025? Oh, there's some very trendy wallpapers out there. I don't have the patience or the eye for detail. Especially if it's in a bathroom because if you have to sit on the toilet

and look at how you've misaligned the monkey print on one piece of wallpaper with the other piece of wallpaper. Ruins. Ruins number twos. Get a guy in. Yeah, get a guy in. I fully back myself. I think I could other piece of wallpaper. Ruins. Ruins number twos. Get a guy in. Yeah, get a guy in. I fully back myself. I think I could do that.

Seriously. Can we put her to the ice? Can I try? Yeah. I've got a room you can wallpaper. Are you willing to let her do that to one of your rooms? I'm very detail-oriented. They'll match up perfectly.

It'll drive her more insane than me. Yeah, true. She'll be there for a week. It's like arts and crafts but on the wall. It'll be just like that Rubik's Cube challenge we set you.

Yeah, I won't finish the room but it'll be mostly them.
