Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. Tonight, we are going to witness the most anticipated show in the history of professional radio. ZM Bree and Clint. Moola Moola everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint show on a Monday. Oh no. Yeah. We're off to a bad start. Yeah, can't find the hole.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Oh, my headphones. Can't hear a thing. But that's okay. I can hear you. You got it in. Oh, you can't hear anything? No. I think it's because I twiddle with my cord all the time.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Oh, right. Too much twiddling of the cord, you know? She's a twiddler. I'm a twiddler. She's a massive. She's the twiddler on the roof. We, we are back after watching 24 hours of movies last week in Tauranga. You'd think that we'd never want to watch another movie for a while.
Starting point is 00:00:53 No, Saturday night, another movie for me. Me too, mate. Yeah. I was back on the train. I'm in my movie era. How do you feel after having a crash course education? In film? In film? In film.
Starting point is 00:01:06 In cinema. Good, because everybody, they go, what movies did you watch? And I run through the list with them and they are all fairly impressed. Everyone's got one or two movies that they don't like and it's down to taste, but largely it was a good list.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Okay, I'm happy with that. Our producer Ella is working from home and putting together a video of the whole experience at the moment. We call it a rap video in the business. She's trying to get some of the film grabs. And she may know less about films than me. She just sent through a screenshot and she said,
Starting point is 00:01:32 Hey, guys, is this a scene from Jeremy Maguire? Jeremy me? Jeremy Maguire? Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was asleep for that one. Hey, we were all asleep for Jeremy Maguire. I mean, that's true. That is fair. That is fair. Hey, today, all asleep for Jerry Maguire. I mean, that's true. That is fair. That is fair.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Hey, today, Human Shazam kicks off here on ZM. And to be honest, I've got no idea what to do. So, Soundkeeper Gary, if you can hear us, could you come and teach us how to play Human Shazam so at 4 o'clock we can play Human Shazam with the people? I'm so excited. I want to see what people are like in terms of identifying songs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:06 And you can win cash. The quicker you identify the song, the more cash you win. Totally. I'm keen to know if we've got a jackpotted amount, but just be listening at 5 to 4, your chance to play Human Shazam and win some free money here on ZM. Up next on the show, as per usual, we're going to kick it off with Tradie versus Lady,

Starting point is 00:02:39 versus Lady. 3, 2, 1, let's go. We do love it. The tradies versus the ladies. We're keeping score. The tradies on 39, the ladies on 40. Let's go to our lady first from Wellington. She is 24 years old and she nearly got banned from Poland.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Welcome to the show, Victoria. Hi, guys. Hi, Victoria. What did you do? Literally nothing. They just thought I had a fake passport. Why did they think that? I think it was because it was issued in London and not New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yeah, but you would say that, wouldn't you? Oh, yeah. And what's in this boogie bag? Boogie board bag. Boogie board bag. Victoria? No, no, no, no. All right.
Starting point is 00:03:24 All right, Victoria. A likely story. You're taking on our lady no, no. Alright, alright, Victoria. A likely story. You're taking on our lady tradie today. She's 38. She's from Hamilton and her dog is her co-pilot in the vehicle. Hi, Andy. Hi, Andy. What's your dog's name? Buddy. Buddy?
Starting point is 00:03:39 Buddy. Buddy? Buddy. Good name for a co-pilot. Yeah, Buddy. Hey, Buddy. Come on, Buddy. We're going to co-pilot. Yeah, Buddy. Yeah. Yeah, Buddy. Hey, Buddy. Come on, Buddy. Okay, we're going to go with names today to keep it nice and clean. Andy, your buzzer is going to be Andy.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Victoria, your buzzer is going to be Victoria. And the first of you to get three correct answers will get $50 cash from KFC. Good luck, guys. Here we go. Question number one. In what U.S. state is the city of Nashville? Victoria. Yes, Victoria. Is it Tennessee? It is city of Nashville? Victoria. Yes, Victoria. Is it Tennessee?
Starting point is 00:04:08 It is, of course, Tennessee. Nice work. You're on the board one for the ladies. Hey, girl, are you from Nashville? Because you're the only 10 I see. I recommend not using that pick-up line. Question number two. No, that was good.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Quick from you. Quick from you for a Monday. All right, one to the ladies. Here comes question number two. The Wellington Phoenix were eliminated from the A-League semifinals on Saturday night. What sport did the Phoenix play? Katie.
Starting point is 00:04:41 What? Andy. Andy. They play football. Yeah. They play football. Yeah, they play football. Andy, who's Katie? And why did you use their name as a buzzer? No, I said Trady.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Oh, Trady. Oh, yeah, okay. Well, both are all good. Nice work. You've tied it up. One apiece. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Victoria. Yes. Victoria. Yes, Victoria. Kanye West. Kanye West. It is Kanye West. Nice work. Ladies on two, tradies on one. Question number four.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Which planet is known as the blue planet? Trade. Yes, Andy. Andy. Is it the moon? No, that's a moon, Andy. Andy. Is it the moon? No, that's a moon, not a planet. Worth a guess. Worth a guess.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Victoria, you want to guess? Absolutely not. I suck at science. The blue planet, guys. The blue planet is... Earth. You're on it. Oh, that's funny. Well, there you go. You're on it. That is funny.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Well, there you go. You've learned something today. All right, no points there. Still two to the ladies, one to the tradies. Question number five. Which biscuit is used in a Tim Tam slam? Victoria. Yes, Victoria, for the win.
Starting point is 00:06:01 A Tim Tam. It's a Tim Tam. It is a Tim Tam. Of course it's a Tim Tam. And that's the win for the win. A Tim Tam. It's a Tim Tam. It is a Tim Tam. Of course it's a Tim Tam. And that's the win for the ladies. Controversially, you could use a chit-chat for a Tim Tam slam, but it just wouldn't be the same. It's not a Tim Tam slam.
Starting point is 00:06:19 It's a chit-chat chat. Chit-chat. Chant-chat. Slam. Shlurp. A chit-chat. I prefer to pay wave off my phone. Oh, so you've gone even a step further where you've got it set up on your phone and you just tap with your phone. Because my phone is surgically attached to my hand. Gotcha. So it's just always there. I don't have to get a card out of my wallet.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Here's a question. Do you ever look on the machine at what the surcharge for pay wave is? Almost never. You never look? Unless there's a piece of masking tape across the top of it. There's always a bit of masking tape on an FPOS machine, and if it is, it either says, no pay wave. To avoid embarrassment, do not tap your card.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Or it says surcharge 1.5%. So you reckon, is that the number that comes into your mind? It's like a 1.5% surcharge usually. Yeah, and if there's a surcharge, I won't do it. Really? Yeah, I'll go to the hassle of getting my wallet out. But remember I said the other week on this show that I'm a cash guy now. I'm transitioning to cash.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Yeah, that's right. You're trying to bring that back. Yeah. Ask me how much cash I've got in my wallet right now. How much cash do you have? Oh, should we do a cash test? Yeah, how much cash do you think I've got in my wallet? Let's see who...
Starting point is 00:07:46 You're the cash guy on the show. I'm the cash king. So you should have more cash. I'm bringing back cash. Okay. Let's see if you've got more than me. Okay. You ready for the big reveal?
Starting point is 00:07:54 Okay. How much cash is in Clint's wallet? Nothing. Just a coffee cart and some receipts. There is literally nothing in your wallet. What do you even have a wallet for? To carry my FBOS card around and my ID. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Because I look so young. Okay, no cash for me. All you need is $1 to win. Whoa, she's got $40 in tens. Yep. That's from the strippers the other night. Nice. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:21 I like to dish out tens. That's classy. I'm classier than a five, you know, I think. The reason I ask is because there's an article on News Hub today talking about the surcharges and how they have to display. Technically, they have to display what the surcharge is for pay wave. Did you know what is the standard pay wave surcharge in New Zealand? I thought 1.5%.
Starting point is 00:08:46 It's actually 2.5%. Is it? It's actually 2.5% of the price of purchase. Wow. Which a lot of places I think pick what the surcharge is going to be and then some places charge nothing. Like at your big supermarkets, they don't charge anything. What a bunch of gobbledygook, honestly.
Starting point is 00:09:05 And I'm not angry at the dairy that has to charge it. They have to charge it. I'm angry at the bank that tells them that's how much it costs to have this fancy new software. Yeah, because for a business, obviously like a small business, they want to make their customers happy and they have to keep up to date with the latest technology, but then they're getting charged quite a lot to have that service.
Starting point is 00:09:26 No, that's garbage. What? Yeah, it's BS. It costs them nothing. I reckon it costs them nothing. It definitely doesn't cost them 2.5% of the purchase. And it's terrifying too because pay wave technology is so good that even if I don't want to pay with pay wave,
Starting point is 00:09:40 I'm going, no, I'm going to stick it in. I'm going to go manual and stick it in. I'm terrified of getting too close to the sensor. And it's not the first time you've slipped and hit the wrong thing. Exactly right. You know? I don't know where I'm sticking it half the time. You've got to be careful.
Starting point is 00:09:53 You've got to be careful. You know, it's like a surgical insertion. Yeah. Trying to get it right. Where you're tapping it. And sometimes it's just like second nature to just tap away. Big time. I, yeah, I, what do you reckon is the surcharge amount where you're like,
Starting point is 00:10:08 I'm not going to use it? It's too much. 0.01%. I'm not doing pay away for any surcharge. Oh, really? Yeah, correct. So you're only doing it. Am I like a moron?
Starting point is 00:10:20 I'm not just giving my money away for free. Really? You're like, nah, I will do it the old-fashioned way. Well, what's it for you? That's the height of laziness, I feel. If you're willing to forego 2.5, unless I don't have my wallet with me or my FBOS card. Then that's a different story.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Then that's different. Then they've got me over a barrel. Yeah. Yeah, I'm probably the same as you. Exactly right. Yeah. Exactly right. Like, I have the skills to go old school.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Exactly right. Imagine saying to your grandparents that you are willing to pay 2.5% extra just for the convenience of being able to wave your card like a magician. For the one minute it saves you? Yeah. First of all, they'd say, what's pay wave? And then second of all, they'd go, you are no grandchild of mine. You lazy individual. We lived off cabbage soup through the Depression,
Starting point is 00:11:07 and you are paying 2.5% to be able to wave your card of the year. It's 2024 problems, people. I read a story somewhere yesterday which was talking about, did you ever know that Disney, like Disney World, there's been rumours that they would open a theme park in Australia? No. Because Disneyland, and I didn't realise they had so many locations, but the locations they have at the moment, California.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Anaheim. Hong Kong. Yeah. Paris. Mm-hmm. Shanghai. Mm-hmm. Tokyo. Mm-hmm. And. Mm-hmm. Tokyo.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Mm-hmm. And then they have a Florida one as well. Yeah. And apparently there's been rumours swirling for years now that they're going to open one in Australia. Well, there's not really any on that list that are down under, is there? Nah. Rude that Australia gets over New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Where do you reckon? If New Zealand were to get a Disneyland, where should they put it? Right next door to Rainbow's End. No, Rainbow's End don't want that. Put all our biggest theme parks next to each other. No, because then you can do what they do in the Gold Coast where you get a multi-pass. I mean, that is fun.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Go to Rainbow's End one day, go to Disneyland the other day. That is a good time. And then head to Butterfly Creek on the third day. Oh, man. That's a great holiday. That is a good time. And then head to Butterfly Creek on the third day. Oh, man. That's a great holiday. That is a great holiday. Yeah, yeah. I would, do you reckon it would do well?
Starting point is 00:12:32 There's rumours that if they were to open one in Australia, it would be in Melbourne. I would have thought they would open it in, did you say Singapore? No. No. I would have thought they would go to Singapore for this part of the world instead of going to Australia.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Singapore first. Yeah. Singapore gets everything. I know it gets everything because they can afford it. Yeah, I know. They can afford it. Would I like there to be a Disneyland in Australia? Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:55 That'd be great. It'd be pretty cool. So many more kids would get to go to Disneyland, you know? You've never been to Disneyland? No. Neither? My parents went to the Tokyo one on their honeymoon. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:08 I think they might be the only people in our family to go to Disneyland. Wait, your parents went to Disneyland on their honeymoon? Yeah, on their kind of second honeymoon, yeah. Did they get like the Honeymooners package or something? Well, no, I lie actually. My parents drove a camper van around the South Island for their honeymoon and then the year after that they went to Japan, yeah. That's kind of cool, though.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Yeah, 100%. I mean, it's a real test. Things are much more realistic in the 80s, too. It's a real test of the marriage to have your honeymoon in a camper van driving around together. Oh, yeah. In the South Island in the 80s. It can really work out or take a turn for the worse.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Like, you really get to know someone on a road trip like that. And the camper vans would not have been what they are now. Like, did it have a compost toilet or did they have to dig a hole? What's the deal, though? Is Australia getting a Disneyland? Well, they said that apparently in, like, September, they said they were throwing a cool $60 billion into doubling down on its parks around the world.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Yeah, yeah. So that's really got people talking where they're like, it could be on the cards. Oh, so it hasn't been ruled out yet? It hasn't been ruled out. Great. And then putting extra money in is just fueling the rumour. Get Mickey Mouse in one of those cork hats.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Can you imagine? Mickey Mouse turns all hipster because it's in Melbourne. Oh, Melbourne. Yeah. So Mickey Mouse has a beard. Yeah. Drinks like. It's raining half the time at Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Caramel lattes. Yeah, yeah. Mickey Mouse rides a fixed gear bicycle. He only listens to vinyl. He only carries around a tote bag now. Mickey Mouse bases his entire personality on the Triple J Hottest 100. Hey, it's me, Mickey. Do you have a matcha latte?
Starting point is 00:14:55 Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest. God, this P. Diddy story is awful. There are no two ways about it. It's disgusting and it's quite triggering. So this is a story about domestic violence, by the way, I should say before we go any further with this. He was already in deep crap with some shocking allegations against him.
Starting point is 00:15:18 A couple of weeks ago, we talked about how his house got raided by armed police and it was live on TV. Those allegations are awful, by the way. They're really bad, yeah. And not worth talking about at this time on the radio because of what the nature of them is. Now, over the weekend, footage of him beating up his ex-girlfriend at a hotel
Starting point is 00:15:37 was released by CNN. So it was verified. CNN put the video out. Which he's been, there's been stuff in the media before about what he did to his ex. And he has, I believe, previously denied everything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:53 And then obviously these videos have surfaced and there is no denying. It's him. That it's him. And it's her. And what he is doing to her in these videos, it's very alarming. It's in a hotel hallway.
Starting point is 00:16:07 He's in a towel, which is... He storms off after her, essentially, and then pretty much hits her and then drags her back down the hallway. It is so disturbing. Her name is Cassandra Ventura, which is going over a lot of people's heads that she is Cassie. Is it? Yes. That's his ex-girlfriend from heads that she is Cassie. Is it? Yes. That's his ex-girlfriend from
Starting point is 00:16:27 2016 that's in the video. It's the singer Cassie who had this song. Excellent. Absolute banger. Super talented in her own right. He hasn't denied it this time. He's come out on Instagram because he has to and he's put some
Starting point is 00:16:43 apology out there. Here's a little bit of it. It's difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life. Sometimes you got to do that. I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. Yes, but it's too little too late. It's just like...
Starting point is 00:17:05 I mean, there's nothing really he can say. No. Like... And it puts all of the other accusations in the spotlight too because now everyone... He denied those ones. Like, vehemently denied it.
Starting point is 00:17:16 He called them sickening allegations made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. See, and that makes it just 10 times worse in my eyes that you've denied it and claimed like these people are lying. Like, it's just horrible, horrible story. All these celebs who probably previously would have gone to a Diddy party are now coming out.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Emily Ratajkowski has tweeted that he's a monster. 50 Cent is calling him out. There's no coming, in my my eyes there's no coming back for P Diddy. It's game over for him. I hope so. I hope that he gets what he deserves. Once you watch that video, it's just... Yeah, just keep in
Starting point is 00:17:56 mind if you are triggered by things like this, the video is very graphic and alarming. And that's the latest. Bree and Clint. Who would you say is the most likely generation to max out a credit card? I would have thought Gen X. Gen X?
Starting point is 00:18:13 Why Gen X? I reckon they're stuck in the middle. The boomers have got all the money. Yeah. And then the millennials. Well, I am a millennial, so I think very highly of us. And then I think Gen Z, twofold. One, I think they're a bit more fiscally responsible.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Okay. I don't know why. Maybe because I heard that they don't drink. Saves a lot of money. Saves a lot of money. And two, I wouldn't have thought they've had enough time to rack up that much debt yet. So by default, it just goes to the forgotten generation, Gen X.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I feel like Gen X, unfortunately, were the most likely generation to get hit with the 3D television, which was very expensive. And the curved television. And the curved. They would have been a huge sucker for the curved television. I mean, that would have put a big dent in your credit card bill, you know, because you had to have how many pairs of glasses for the 3D version? And then you get your 3D Blu-ray movies.
Starting point is 00:19:03 They're probably still paying those off. Exactly. Rack up a big credit card debt. Well, there's a study that's been done, and this is an American study, but according to this study, the generation who are maxing out their credit cards the most are Gen Z. Really? Gen Z is roughly one in seven,
Starting point is 00:19:26 so like 15.3%, have maxed out their credit cards. Wow, really? And then by comparison, if we're comparing, just 4.8% of baby boomers have maxed out their cards. 9.6% of Gen X.
Starting point is 00:19:43 I do know, though, that the older you get, the bigger credit card limit your bank gives you. And this is the key. So for Gen X to max out their credit card, they've got more rope than a Gen Z. You've hit the nail on the head, Clint, because I've done some research into that as well. And according to this study, the median Gen Z borrower's credit limit is about $4,500. For a Gen Z?
Starting point is 00:20:07 For a Gen Z. Yeah. Compared... That's too much money, by the way, Gen Z, if you're listening. You don't need it. That's too much money to have at your disposal. Yeah. That's way, way too much money.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Too much money. Millennials, the median credit card limit is $16.3. Again, millennials. That is way too much money. Millennials, when are you going to need to make an urgent $16,000 purchase? And if you do, it's not worth it. Yeah. And then Gen X.
Starting point is 00:20:38 How much have the X's got on? Gen X, $21,000. On their credit card? Yeah. And then it doesn't even say for the baby boomers. Unlimited. I think it's unlimited. They're on those black cards.
Starting point is 00:20:49 It's infinity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your credit card limit? I think it's five. Oh, yeah, that's responsible. Yeah, but I am such... You're a homeowner. We trust you with five.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Mate, I am so terrified. I'm the credit card person that if I put something on my credit card, I have to pay it off the next day. Can we get hold of our Gen Zs out in the booth? Can they hear us at the moment? Can you guys hear us? I don't reckon they'd even have a credit card. How old are you guys and do you have credit cards?
Starting point is 00:21:20 Can we hear them? Oh, no, we can't hear them. Oh, no. No? No, it's not coming through. Oh, no. No? No, it's not coming through. I don't reckon they'd have one. Thumbs up or thumbs down?
Starting point is 00:21:32 Do you have a credit card? No credit cards? No credit cards. Very responsible. Okay, good. And what's on yours? Oh, no, no. You can do the millennial one.
Starting point is 00:21:43 You did five for us. You covered us off. What is your max on your credit card? Well, they keep trying to give me more but I won't take it. Oh, do they? Do they keep trying to give you more? Yeah, they message you, they send you letters in the mail and they're like, congratulations. Well, what are you up to now? I've got eight.
Starting point is 00:21:58 You've got eight? Yeah, I've got eight. Eight? Eight-ish, yeah. Eight-ish with a one in front. But I don't spend it. I don't spend it. Never? Well, I do spend it. I spend it, but then I pay it off every month. Stop winking at me.
Starting point is 00:22:10 It's only for the rewards points. Bree and Clint. I heard about a competition that recently happened in Korea, which I feel like I would like to compete in. Oh, yeah, as a Korean fried chicken eating competition? I mean, that would be great. Although I do get full quite fast. Korean fried chicken or southern fried chicken?
Starting point is 00:22:30 Oh, that's a hard one to answer. Yeah. I'll give you a clue. Yeah. One of them sponsors our show. I'm going to say southern for sure. No questions asked. Specifically from the Kentucky region.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yep. They do the best fried chicken. No doubt about it. I didn't think about that before I said it either. No doubt about it. But no, it's nothing to do with eating. Yeah. Apparently, South Koreans have gone head to head
Starting point is 00:22:56 in one of the calmest competitions ever. Okay. A power nap competition. Oh, I would smoke this. How good? You think you'd be good at this? This is my Olympics. I feel like you would be very good
Starting point is 00:23:09 because I've seen you fall asleep anywhere in seconds. People don't believe me when I say I could lie down there in that corner and I could be asleep now. You give me three minutes. You reckon you could fall asleep? I reckon I could be asleep in three minutes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:27 How long's the next song? Two minutes 56. Ooh. Yeah, but you wouldn't know if I was faking it. I've said this to you before. That's true. If you can get some kind of monitor that proves what I'm saying, then I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Which we can. Yeah. And let me give you the details on what they did. So apparently it was all about raising awareness for the importance of sleep because apparently Koreans get the least sleep around the world. It's because of Squid Games. You reckon? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:59 They're still traumatised. I mean, that was pretty traumatising. Because they didn't have to watch it with subtitles. It was even scarier. Yeah, I mean, that's true. It's very true. According to the South Korea's National Assembly, the country records show that the lowest average of sleep
Starting point is 00:24:13 is 7 hours and 41 minutes per night. Yeah, that's right. Which is significantly lower than the average, which is about 8 hours and 22 minutes. That's a good sleep numbers. Yeah, like about eight hours and 22 minutes. That's a good sleep numbers. Yeah, like the eight hours and 22 minutes. Yeah, and 740 is fine as well. No, well, according to this, it's one of the lowest in the world.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Really? Yes. It's only 20 minutes off an eight hour sleep. Yeah. That's interesting, eh? Yeah. That's the lowest in terms of like countries around the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Okay. I reckon we should do this. Should we hold our own power napping competition? Yeah. Where we set it up like it's an Olympic event, right? And so we set up beds in like a gym. We get Sealy on board. We get Sealy on board.
Starting point is 00:25:01 They provide the beds, right? So you can't blame the equipment. No, we're the best beds in the country. Because it's the top of the top. And then we implement some sleep machines, which you can, and they hook you up to like a sleep machine so they can see when people fall into a sleep. I've got some questions.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Yeah. Can I take a sleeping pill? No. Can I wear a sleep apnea mask? That is, you will be tested for drug enhancing. Yeah, true, true. You've got to submit a urine sample minutes before you fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:25:32 You will be disqualified for doping if you do take a sleeping pill. Can I wear a sleep apnea machine? No. No? No, that's extra equipment. It's just you and a bed. Can I snore? Yes. Okay. That could be a competitive advantage because it could prevent you from sleeping. It could be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon snore? Yes. Okay. That could be a competitive advantage because it could prevent you from sleeping. It could be.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon we hold our own. Do I have to power nap with clothes on? You can wear your pyjamas. Well, what if, okay, what if I feel more comfortable sleeping nude? You know? I mean, that does, you know. These are all things for us to work through, for sure.
Starting point is 00:25:59 They're the details we can work through. Like, you know, imagine. Can I enter as a tandem, like a doubles? We can have a doubles event. Yeah, you can spoon. Yeah, you can have a doubles event if you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A throuples event?
Starting point is 00:26:13 I mean, like a bobsled? Like four people? This is good. I reckon you can- This is good, yeah. Celie, if you're listening, do you want to come on board the first ever New Zealand napping competition? Can we please have 15 beds?
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah. And 15 pillows and 15 duvets. And the winner... Yeah. Wins a bed! The ultimate bed set up. What a great idea we've just come up with. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:26:41 The Herald's just put out this article where someone's found their pack and save receipt from 1994. I am so keen to know what the prices were for things in, what is it, 1999? 1994. 1994. 30 years ago. Yeah, like how much was cheese in 1994? Good question.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Is it on there? It's on here. So someone's done a full weekly shop at Pack and Save Gisborne in 1994. Okay. It doesn't say where they found their receipt, but it's all there. It's quite faded, but it's all there. A block of Taurua cheese, one kg block of cheese. Yep.
Starting point is 00:27:14 From Pack and Save Gisborne in 1994. How much are you paying for that now? One block of cheese. It depends on the brand, but I reckon it's between $10 and $18. I was going to say, I reckon it's about $17. Do you reckon? For 1kg. Can't you get like the supermarket brand ones?
Starting point is 00:27:31 Don't they keep those ones down around the $10, $12 mark? Just have a look. I'm talking Colby, not Tasty. Yeah, right. Okay, let's have a look here. About $18 for that Tasty one. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Colby, give me Colby. Yeah, Colby cheese, they're about $11. Oh, yeah, tasty one. Yeah. Yeah. Colby. Give me Colby. Yeah, Colby cheese. They're about $11. Oh, yeah. $5.50. $5.50. Yeah. A bag of carrots.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Carrots are cheap. In 1994, 38 cents. God, they're way cheaper in 1994. A bunch of bananas. How much? On this receipt, $1.85. I paid yesterday. I got four apples.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Yeah. How much do you reckon I paid? For four apples? For four apples. Apples are pretty cheap, aren't they? Two bucks? I paid $5 something for four apples. Oh, no, you're getting ripped off on your apples.
Starting point is 00:28:19 You're buying the wrong apples. Mate, what? And you're the daughter of an apple farmer. I am the apple girl. I want to buy the variety that I want, and that's how much they cost. True. Jazz, eh? Jazz all the way.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Can't go past the jazz. Yeah, jazz is the ultimate. Bag of tomatoes, $3.80. And this is the one that really shocked me, because I think for a long time this was my metric on food, because I survived off these for so long. Okay. Those six pack of mince and cheese pies in the blue plastic that you cook in the oven at home.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Gotcha. Like Irvine's pies. I think Big Ben do a tray. I think their tray might be like that maroony red colour. Okay. Anyway, six oven pies in 1994, $3.80. Wow. The receipt is a whole shop.
Starting point is 00:29:02 It's like it's a whole week's groceries. Yeah. How much was this person paying for a whole week's? The grand total for a week a whole shop. It's like it's a whole week's groceries. Yeah, how much was this person paying for a whole week's? The grand total for a week's grocery shop at Pack and Save Gisborne in 1994, $86.61. God, even Christopher Luxon was still wrong in 1994. Bree and Clint. On Saturday, I was driving back from Tauranga after our 24-hour blockbuster binge-a-thon,
Starting point is 00:29:29 which was a success. We got through nine movies. Not too bad, not too bad. Were we awake for all nine? Largely. Mostly. I was asleep for 8.25 movies. I saw the start and end of Jerry Maguire.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Which is all you really need to know. We definitely missed an entire night of sleep though. And we did our best to make up for it on Friday night before driving. We were being safe. Yes. And so I'm driving back, not feeling my best on Saturday but safe. And I
Starting point is 00:30:00 pulled over in the small Waikato town of Gordonton to get a pie and a coffee. Okay. Break up the drive, bit of caffeine, and I got a steak and mushroom pie. A lot of gravy in that pie. Anyway, I'm standing there in this bakehouse.
Starting point is 00:30:16 You'll know it, the Gordonton Bakehouse. It's famous. Yeah, good pies. And I'm waiting for my coffee, and I'm sort of slurping down this pie. Just munching away. And this'm waiting for my coffee and I'm sort of slurping down this pie. Just munching away. And this lady comes over to me. And this lady, I don't know her.
Starting point is 00:30:32 I didn't know her. And she was definitely older than me. And she said to me, I just thought I'd pop over and say, this stubble really, really suits you. You look really handsome. Pardon me? I was quite taken aback. And I was like, thanks.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Thanks, that's nice of you to say. And she goes, yeah, it's so much more classy than a full beard. Was she wearing a wedding ring is my first question. No, but I think her grandchildren were outside. That's all right. No, I know, I know. She dropped the grandkids off. Yeah, totally, totally.
Starting point is 00:31:12 And I said to her, oh, I actually can't grow a full beard. It just goes kind of ginger and patchy. Why are you so awkward? Well, I don't know what to say. You just say thanks very much. I agree. Well, I don't know what to say. You just say, thanks very much. I agree. Well, I did, essentially. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And she goes, well, that's a good thing. The stubble is very, she goes, it's very rugged. And this is where, I kid you not, she said, it's very rugged. Looks, you look really sexy. Who is this woman? And aren't you making this story up? I'm not making, I promise you I'm not making this story up. Are you sure this actually happened?
Starting point is 00:31:49 How insulting from you, how insulting from you that you don't think somebody could find me sexy. No. Okay, excuse you. I'm just saying, I'm just saying I want to talk to this woman. So do I. I want her to talk to me daily because when I left there, jeez, I was pumped up.
Starting point is 00:32:07 I was on cloud nine. Did you feel good about yourself? I'd walked in feeling like a four from, you know, from the condition that we were in. Not feeling your best? Not feeling my best. And I walked out of there feeling like a gold-plated ten. So I need to know, was that the last thing she said to you and then she walked off? Or was there like a...
Starting point is 00:32:26 I said to her, I said, thank you, that is very kind of you. And she just sort of touched my arm and she goes, no problem. And then she walked off. And that's all she wanted? Yeah. Do you reckon she expected you to chase after her? I don't know. I don't know. Because it's not a sort of compliment that I've had paid
Starting point is 00:32:41 to me by a stranger before. But it did make me feel really good. And it made me think that maybe I need to be more liberal with the compliments on a day-to-day basis to pump other people's styles up. What, dish them out more? Yeah, yeah. Like, should I start going around the team here at ZM, picking out physical attributes and telling people how sexy they are?
Starting point is 00:33:01 Like, should I come to you and go, hey, Bree, those ankle socks you're wearing today with your Chuck Taylors showing a bit of ankle, you look really sexy. It's so much creepier when you do it. I know. Why is it creepier when I do it? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Let's do one more test. Let's say who in – Ross, Ross Boss, he's got a stubbly beard. Yeah. Okay, pretend I'm Ross. Yeah. And you give me a compliment about my stubbly beard. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Oh, good day, mate. How's it going? Good. Oh, I like your stubbly beard, Ross. Makes you look really quite rugged and sexy. Are you coming on to me? Yeah. If so, I like it.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Yeah, right. Well, I've got a stubbly beard, you've got a stubbly beard. Let's create some friction. Bree and Clint. I was talking to a friend of mine on the weekend where she's quite torn as to what to do in this situation that she's currently in with a friend of hers. And when I say a friend, like, they've been friends for, like, 15 years.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Right. Are you friends with your friend's friend? No. Okay. I don't know the friend's friend. So you're impartial? I'm impartial. Well, you're not really.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You're friends with your friend. Yeah, so I'm a bit biased towards her. Actually, you're the opposite of impartial. Yeah. I'm quite biased. They should have come to me. Yeah, who's completely impartial. I don't care about either of them. Yeah, that'sial. Yeah. I'm quite biased. They should have come to me. Yeah, who's completely impartial. I don't care about either of them.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. You're definitely impartial. Well, she said to me, she's like, the situation is, is that about 18 months ago, this friend of hers asked to borrow some money. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Which she's never done before. Right. And it was quite a significant amount. Yes. Like she told me how much it was. Are you at liberty to share? Yeah, I can share. People don't know who I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:34:55 No, they don't. It was about $1,700. Okay, not an inconsequential amount of money. It's a lot of money, especially, you know, in the times we're living in. I would argue that now it's more money than it was then. I agree. Yeah. Like there's interest that's incurred on that.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Well, also, like the need for that money is greater now than it was 18 months ago. Agreed. Yeah. Agreed. Anyway, it was for a good reason. And my friend was like, you know, this has been my friend for 15 years. She's never asked to borrow money before. You know, I wanted to help my friend out.
Starting point is 00:35:35 And the understanding was is that her friend was going to pay her back within a year. That was the timeframe. They talked about that and they'd agreed on that. Yeah. Anyway, so skip to a year down the track. Only, I think she told me, I think it was about $400 or $500 had been paid off. After a year. After a year.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yeah. So there was still a significant amount. Most of it still hadn't been paid. Yeah. And my friend said that she found that it changed their relationship because her friend would avoid her or not do things because I guess there was this elephant in the room where there was this money owed.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Yeah, where's my $1,200? Yeah, exactly. And my friend said that the last straw for her was when she saw on social media that this friend that she's lent money and she hasn't paid her back within the year has gone to a
Starting point is 00:36:35 Taylor Swift concert. And my friend said to me, she's like, it just was a bit of a kick in the teeth. Like if she said, like, you know, if that was me, I would prioritize my friendship, you know, and pay back the money before I was going to concerts and stuff. Also, if you are overdue some money to be paid back to you, you would scrutinize every non-essential payment that person made.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Like if you're in a group chat with them and one of the friends goes, should we go out for dinner on Friday? And everyone's like, yeah, we should go. As soon as your friend replied, owed you the money, replied and said, yeah, let's go, you'd be like, oh, no, no, you can't go. You used to owe me $1,200. Yeah. And that's where it makes it murky.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah, it makes it awkward. You know, it makes it real grey area and why you shouldn't loan money to friends, in my opinion. Or, or if you are the person who... It makes it real difficult. I think you can loan money to friends. Oh, I don't know, eh. I think you can loan money to friends,
Starting point is 00:37:41 but if you are the person who's being loaned money, you are the person who is putting the friendship at risk. So you need to handle it properly. You have to handle it properly. And you need to know you have that responsibility. Yeah, I think so. Because it can go south so quickly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 It really can because people get weird about money. People are so funny about money and you don't often know that they're funny about money until you have to have money conversations with them. Living with someone really shows you if someone is funny about money and you don't often know that they're funny about money until you have to have money conversations with them. They won't say anything until it's too late. Living with someone really shows you if someone is funny about money, like flatting with them. Yeah. Like they might be, you might think that you guys are on the same page about everything until you flat together and they go, oh no, no, we don't use our electric blankets in
Starting point is 00:38:17 this house. And the true colours come out. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I thought we could put it out there, 0800DIALS at M. You can text us on 9696. When did lending money change your relationship? And that can be friendship, that can be family, it can be anything. Or maybe you lent a lot of money to someone and it turned out okay. Yep.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Or you lent a lot of money to someone and it turned out awful. yep or you lent a lot of money to someone and it turned out awful yeah we'd love to hear from you oh 800 dials at m or you can text us on 9696 you can remain anonymous oh totally we'll keep the names right out of the brie and clint i already feel awkward like reading these texts we've inadvertently opened brie and cl Clint's debt collection hotline. Yeah, we're here to help you get your money back. There are so many people listening right now who are owed money by friends or family and not a single one of them feels good about it. Someone texted her and said,
Starting point is 00:39:16 my friend lent his friend 10K to get him out of debt. He's now working in the mines making megabucks and hasn't paid a single cent back. That's just not right. How do you feel like okay in yourself? Yeah. Knowing that you literally have taken $10,000
Starting point is 00:39:36 from someone. Someone else texted and said my friend would lend all of our friends money and would make us sign a document that looked legit to make sure that we would pay up. I think if you sign it, it is legit. Like it doesn't matter the document. Yeah, you could go to court.
Starting point is 00:39:53 If you agree to it, I think it's illegal. Like it could be written on a napkin. And if you sign it. It's a binding contract. I think it's a binding agreement. Yeah. So that friend is not silly. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Steph's here. Hi, Steph. Hi, Steph. Hello. Did you lend somebody some money? No, not money. We sold a car. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:12 All right. So we sold a car to a family member. Right. And they paid us a deposit, and we're still waiting on the last lot of money, which was about six or so years ago, and it's $1,000 they owe us. Six years ago?
Starting point is 00:40:30 Yeah. You need to message them and say it's now with interest, it's about $6,000. $6,000, $7,000. That's right. And every family occasion is really awkward. Do you ever bring it up? No, no, we don't go there. So you don't mention it, but you're still stewing on it
Starting point is 00:40:49 and they never mention it. No. Do you think that maybe they've just forgotten about it? I don't think so. Right. I don't think they'll forget. Steph, do you or have you bought them a Christmas present since this? Oh, no, nothing.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Oh, so they'll get the message. Have they still got the car? No, that's long gone. Wait, wait a second. Do you know if they sold that car or did it go to the wreckers? It was probably sold, and they probably got more for it than what we sold them to as well. Steph, I'd be ropeable.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Do you think they're financially hard up or are they just stingy? No, not at all. So the text that I sent in said that they had money to online gamble, so they've got money to pay us back. Oh, Steph. Can I ask, what's the relation to you? An in-law. An in-law.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Oh, no. So it's your partner's family? Yeah. Who's angrier, you or your partner? Both. It depends what family event you or your partner? Both. It depends what family event we go to, I suppose. You, I reckon it's you. Have they ever had the audacity to ask you for anything else,
Starting point is 00:41:54 like after this? No, but they will quite often bring up that they could do with some help here and there, and the eye rolls in the room are just... Palpable. Everywhere, yeah. Steph, I can hear the eye rolls down the room are just palpable. Everywhere, yeah. Steph, I can hear the eye rolls down the phone, to be honest. You can, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:09 How good a family dynamic, Steph. Yeah, love it. Oh, you poor thing. Thanks, Steph. Someone texted me talking about, did you lend money to a friend or family member? Someone said, I've got these two little kids that look like me at my house living rent-free.
Starting point is 00:42:24 And yeah, their bills are getting up there a little bit. I hear you. Yeah. I've got dogs that are freeloading at my house. There's a couple of those kids at my house too. They're cute though, so I let it slide. Someone texted her and said, my friend borrowed money when we traveled together. It was around $800.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I went into study and she kept working. After months, she hadn't paid me, but she bought herself a gaming console. I was so pissed off. She's not a friend anymore. Yeah. Because a gaming console would argue around that much money. But you'd scrutinise every purchase. If they owe you money, you scrutinise every purchase.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Oh, you 100% would. I lent a friend $5,000 for a car and I let her stay at my place rent free. It was because I knew she was a great friend and she would do anything for me. But then after I bought her the car, I asked for a lift to the airport and she said no. And then she stopped showing up to my birthday events, etc.
Starting point is 00:43:18 So I knew she actually didn't value our friendship that much. I was really hurt, but she seemed to never realise how much it hurt me. Oh, that sucks, eh? You lost a friend and $5,000. Someone said, I lent a friend four grand for her wedding.
Starting point is 00:43:33 I was a bridesmaid. She totally ghosted me afterwards, changed her number and her email. Over how much money? Four grand. Wow. That's a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Like, you're such a good friend. It is a lot of money. But is it enough money to change your entire identity to avoid paying back? Like, just do it in installments. Pay them 20 bucks a week. Obviously, that woman thought so. You know how I'll get out of this? I'll completely change my identity.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I'll physically disappear over $4,000. That's wild. There you go. The moral of the story, don't lend anybody anything. Ever. Ever. No matter how much they're in need. All right, let's get birthday banging for a Monday.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Number one songs when you turn 16. Hi, Abby. Hi, Abs. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, Abby. You sound like you turn 16. Hi, Abby. Hi, Abs. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, Abby. You sound like you're well. I am, thank you.

Starting point is 00:48:19 Enjoy it, Abby. From the year 1995. Can you just picture Abby and all of her friends in that karaoke room just twerking on each other? Absolutely steamed. Abby's laughing. Abby's like, were you guys there? Bree and Clint, hit him.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Bree and Clint. No regrets. They truly were the glory days, I reckon. 1995. I'd love to go back to the 90s. Like, be my age now. You'd like to be 30-something in the 90s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:55 You had Michael Jordan. Yeah. You had, I mean, music like that. Jonah Lomu. Yeah. Like, think about. Kurt Cobain was dead. Think about the rugby league back in the 90s.
Starting point is 00:49:08 That was the glory days. 1995 is the year the Warriors started. Is it really? The first game against the Brisbane Broncos at Ericsson Stadium. Yeah. Was that like the Alfie Langer days or the Darren Lock... No, Darren Lock here was like the 2000s. Yeah, the 2000s.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 90s would be good. Nobody knew what global warming was like the 2000s. Yeah, the 2000s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 90s would be good. Nobody knew what global warming was in the 90s. Yeah, we weren't stressed about that. Obviously, it was a major issue, but no one was talking about it. Were people recycling in 1995? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Absolutely not. Absolutely not. They definitely weren't rinsing out the hummus containers, that's for sure. The closest we had to environmental consciousness was earth, wind, fire. Captain Planet. Captain Planet. I mean, Captain Planet was ahead of its time, wasn't it? And back in the 90s. He was more occupied with getting you to fix a drippy tap, though.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Yeah, I mean, that's true. Back in the 90s, you could record stuff off the television onto a VCR tape. Yeah. So we've heard. Obviously, Brie and I are too young to remember the 90s. This is what we've been told. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I read it in a... On Reddit. I read it on Reddit. On a Reddit thread. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I clicked on a link through Bebo. Because we definitely know how to use Reddit. Yeah, I mean, Reddit, I would say,
Starting point is 00:50:23 a very easy platform to use. Hey, I had this story to talk about next, which is kind of grim. But we've had a lot of grim financial conversations on the show today and I think that's because
Starting point is 00:50:38 we're living in a grim financial time. It's a financial crisis, baby. But I'd rather ignore it. Yeah, I would. I'd rather not talk about it next. So I want to know from the people listening, what are we not talking about? What's important to
Starting point is 00:50:52 you right now? What's exciting? What's interesting to you that the Bree and Clint show is not covering? And you are thinking, I cannot believe these guys are not talking about XYZ. I can't believe they're not talking about the thing Why aren't they discussing this particular thing? Me and all they're not talking about the thing. Why aren't they discussing this particular thing? Me and all my friends
Starting point is 00:51:07 are talking about the thing that's on my TikTok feed. Fill us in. 9696. We will talk about the thing that we are not talking about next if you text it to us. You know what people won't say? Yeah. They won't say aviation and maritime news because we are the leading show
Starting point is 00:51:23 and if there is any news in that area we're talking about it. And casual rugby league references because we're all over that as well. This is rugby league! Bree and Clint. I put the call out before. I said no more depressing news. We need to talk about what the people are talking about. The things that we are not covering
Starting point is 00:51:40 here on the Bree and Clint show. And it's really an admission from us that hey we don't have ears everywhere. Sometimes we need some help. We need some eyes and ears on the ground. What do you want us to talk about? What should we be discussing? I have the definitive list here.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Okay. And these are arguably the only four gaps in the Bree and Clint show. And we're going to close those gaps right now. Okay. And we need to talk confidently. It's our job to talk confidently about these topics. All right. And I'm going to throw the-
Starting point is 00:52:06 If we're radio professionals, we can talk about anything- Anything. On the- On the fly. On the fly. Yeah. I'm going to throw the first one to you, though. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Because you said mere weeks ago that you're getting into this. Right. You said it's your new thing, you and your partner. Yep. I'd like you to cover the NBA playoffs. Oh, NBA playoffs I think have been fantastic recently.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Obviously we're at the back end of the season hence why we're in the playoffs. But I think basketball is bigger and more exciting than ever. You've got the I know the Lakers have been involved. I think they just got knocked out Didn't they?
Starting point is 00:52:47 Which is where LeBron's playing Yep, yeah that's correct Isn't it? I'd wrap it up for you And I think it's just the best time of the year for the NBA The playoffs, you can't beat it Tick that box Next one
Starting point is 00:53:03 No, I'm going to need to throw this one over to you as well. Because someone wants us to talk about gaming. Oh, yeah, that's my... And I haven't gamed since the PS3. Okay, yep. So specifically Minecraft and Roblox. Can you cover off that? That's what the people want to hear about.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Yep. Minecraft, there's mines involved and it's quite a lot of crafting it's where you're building stuff tick yep um what else you got i feel like i'll throw this one over to you too okay um someone's texting about the overwhelming pressure to stop wearing skinny jeans even though that's the only kind of jeans that I own, we're not paying enough attention to that. Yeah, look, and I think we should be because it's a serious topic and it's not talked about in the media enough, that overwhelming pressure, especially for the millennial.
Starting point is 00:53:57 And not just on your mental health but also on your physical health and your wallet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course your wallet. Because it is not easy to replace an entire wardrobe worth of pants. Money aside, if you've based your entire silhouette around the skinny jean, it's very confronting. It's very confronting to jump to a loose-fitting jean so rapidly. And I would argue in a very similar case, like people that have side parts, I mean,
Starting point is 00:54:29 not speaking from experience because I definitely don't have a side part anymore. But, you know, if I did, let's just say, for example, had a side part for, you know, 10, 15 years, that's how my hair sits. Yeah, that's the way it's trained. It's pretty much untrainable at that point. Yeah, and your ankles are only accustomed to no-show socks. My ankles would freak out if I'm putting bigger socks on there. Yeah, cool.
Starting point is 00:54:54 That was well covered, yeah. Okay, sweet. Anything else? Is there anything else? Someone wants us to talk about hot honey. Why aren't we talking about hot honey more? Why aren't we talking about hot honey more? Why aren't we talking about hot honey?
Starting point is 00:55:05 The phenomena that is hot honey. Yeah. People are putting it on everything. Yeah. I would argue hot honey is the new tomato sauce. KFC did a hot honey range recently.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Yes. That was good. Yep. Jim Beam do a hot honey? Do they? Or at least a honey. What do you reckon? Where do you reckon?
Starting point is 00:55:26 Like, how did that trend start? The hot honey thing. Yeah. And what is hot honey, to be exact? Does it come out of the bee hot? Bree and Clint, we're back after this. Bree and Clint. We've got to talk about this portal.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Have you seen the portal? I have, kind of, but can you explain it to me? The portal is a huge video screen. It's round. That looks like that thing in Stargate SG-1. It looks like the Stargate. And it links New York City. It's in Times Square with Dublin and Ireland.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Just to clarify, it isn't a Stargate though. No, because you can't walk through it. But you can see through it in real time. It's actually no different to FaceTime, but it's because it's set up permanently. Interesting. You don't know who's going to be on the other end of it. It's kind of like chat roulette in real life.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Of who's going to walk past. It's this huge high-definition window where you stand in front of it and you see what's happening live on the other side of the world and they can see you as well. So you might just be walking past, or you might go down specific. You could text someone and say, meet me at the portal for a conversation. Can you talk to them?
Starting point is 00:56:35 You can talk to them. Yeah, yeah, the sound is on it. What? Yeah, you can see the person. And it's like, it's quite realistic. I know what's happened. Yeah. Have people got naked?
Starting point is 00:56:45 Well, they've had to shut it down in less than a week because people couldn't be trusted. What were they doing getting naked? One woman who is an OnlyFans content creator went down to the New York portal and got her boobies out. And yeah, this is what she had to say for herself. So I just got the portal from New York City to Dublin shut down. I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see my two New York homegrown potatoes.
Starting point is 00:57:12 No, not okay. Not okay, lady. I think that was actually the storyline on a Stargate episode. Was it? Send your potatoes, your homegrown potatoes to the Stargate. One of the people in the Stargate got their double Ds out. Was it that guy with the thing on his face? Yeah, the guy with that thing on his forehead.
Starting point is 00:57:32 That's bad from the Americans. Some people in Dublin, on the Dublin side. What are they doing? They were holding up pictures of 9-11 so that people in New York had to look at pictures of 9-11. Oh, come on, guys. Not appropriate. Come on.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Not appropriate. What's wrong with people? Not funny. People were doing drugs in front of the portal. Oh, my God. The bottom line is that people were never going to be trusted with this kind of technology. Look what we did with the internet when we got that.
Starting point is 00:58:07 They're like, this is going to change humanity for the better. And it's literally just full of porn and drugs. Yeah. And memes about 9-11. So, yeah. The moral of the story. Moral of the story. People can't be trusted.
Starting point is 00:58:19 People can't be trusted. No. And grow up. And grow up. Grow up and stay in school. And can we get the portal here in New Zealand? Because I reckon we'd be way funnier. And grow up. And grow up. Grow up and stay in school. And can we get the portal here in New Zealand? Because I reckon we'd be way funnier than people in Dublin. I would 100% brown eye that thing.
