You want to go, so I say. What happens at 3pm stays at 3pm.

Bree and Clint are all you can say 3pm. Brie and Clint. Clint's all you can see. ZM's Brie and Clint. Bula vanaka, everybody, and welcome to the Brie and Clint radio show. Guys, I got sent a note today. Did you? I got sent a handwritten note. Can I read it? No.

Why not? It's personal. I don't flash it in my face if I'm not allowed to read it. It's a note from a new pen pal of mine. Oh, yeah. Is it more prison mail? We've been getting prison mail recently. No, it's not prison mail.

It's from a new pen pal of mine. Her name's Georgia. Oh, that's nice. Georgia, if you're listening, I am right. I feel like I'm back in high school. You know when you used to write notes and then you'd pass them to each other? Don't respond to her on the radio. Write her a note back.

I'm going to. I'm just saying. I'm sending her to her on the radio. Write her a note back. I'm going to. I'm just saying. I'm sending her a message on the radio to say, Georgia, I am writing you a note back. Oh, well, if you do that, you might as well just say what the note says. It'll be faster. No, because it does make sense. Ah, true. When I say we have been getting prison mail, the girls have been getting prison mail.

I haven't got any prison mail. Yeah. I'll take all the prison mail I can get. I feel like I'm in Orange is the New Black. Oh, yeah, you like it, do you? You want to be someone's jailbird? No, well, I feel bad. I feel bad because I am the type of person where I get overwhelmed,

like when people write me notes or someone is like when there's too many things. Yes. So I'm not the best at replying all the time. So I don't know if I want a lot. I knew somebody in prison once who the only way I could communicate with them, it was somebody I knew. Okay.

And so they wrote to me and I wrote back to them and I included some photos because I thought it would make their cell a bit like... Homelier. Yeah. If you send photos to prison, in the note, they go through, they read the note before they give it to the inmate

and they go through the photos They read the note before they give it to the inmate. And they go through the photos. And if there's any alcohol or if you're doing any gang signs with your hands in the pictures, they don't get the pictures. Pictures get destroyed. Oh, no. You were doing both. Yeah.

I was doing it east side with a Woodstock bourbon and coke. You know what? I'm surprised I didn't throw you in jail for that. Hey, we will add our third and final item to the ZM Add to Cart.

Hello, Elijah. Hey, fellas. How many kingfish have you caught recently? Oh, I can't tell you that. I've just said that, so I hope they start catching. Yeah, you've jinxed yourself now. I see. I see what you're saying, Elijah.

Every bloody time. Okay, Elijah, your buzzer is tradie. Kate, the Disney adult, your buzzer is lady. And the first person to three will win $50 cash. I swear these questions are written before we find our people,

and this is just a coincidence. A lot of fish questions, is it? We'll find out. Question number one, what is the name of the Disney princess that has the super long hair? Grady. Elijah. Rapunzel.

Wow. Kate, that was your question. I'll see you on the cruise. I said my name because I'm used to you guys with the movie trivia, not ladies. Oh, no. Elijah, that was a great snaking from you. Get on the boat, do a bit of trawling off the back of the cruise ship, Elijah. Today's your day.

Yeah, worth my long year. All right, one to the tradies. It's Rapunzel here. Question number two. Name a famous golfer. Lady. Lady. Elijah. Tiger a famous golfer. Lady. Elijah. Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods will do. I'd say the most famous golfer ever. Tiger Woods is correct. Two to the tradies. Are you watching Bryson DeChambeau try and hit a hole-in-one over his house at the moment? I feel like a heap of people are trying to do that now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A few people have hit it into windows, I've seen.

It's the main thing on my TikTok. Anyway. All right. That's two to do that now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A few people have hit it into windows, I've seen. It's the main thing on my TikTok. Anyway. All right, that's two to the tradies. And, Kate, you need this one to stay in it. Question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this. Guys. No one knows Super Bass?

No idea. I know the song, but I don't know the singer. Wow. What? That's Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj is going to be devastated to hear she's not relevant anymore, which I think we already knew. Question number four.

How many Fast and Furious movies have they made so far? Is it 10? Three. Oh, I want to say Kate just got in. They've done 10 of them, if you include the Shaw vs. Hobbs vs. Shaw. Hobbs vs. Shaw makes 10, you reckon? Yeah.

The multiple choice, Elijah, is nine, 11, or too many? Oh, I think 11, but that's too many anyway. We would have accepted too many as an answer, but 11's also correct. So that means... That's the win. Yeah, boys. Mate, go throw the rod off this afternoon because I think it's your day. Yeah, you're on, Elijah.

Congratulations. Yeah, I will. This is the time. Yeah. Tradie versus lady champion. The tradies claw one back. Bree and Clint. It's finally happened again because I feel like this isn't the first time for me.

But I've been tricked into buying something. I've fallen for one of those product scams. Finally, after ad, after ad, after all the cookies that obviously are on my computer just feeding me all this crap. You click it once. It's the only thing you'll see. It's the beginning and the end. Finally, I have succumbed to buying a product that I know in my mind is complete BS. I know it's not going to work.

But I've just been peppered with so much advertising for this thing that I'm now brainwashed. You're a sucker for an Instagram and TikTok ad, eh? I feel like I've gotten better as I've gotten older. But sometimes I feel like they hit me right in the sweet spot, right in the insecurity. I'll just list off some that I can think of. There's not any recently. There was that one that

corrected your posture where it pulled your shoulders back. Yeah, well that didn't work and I'm still self-conscious about that. There was the eyebrow stencils that you purchased where you thought you could just get them and then just sort of spray your eyebrows on, hold the stencil up for the shape of eyebrow that you want and then just go for it? Yeah, they didn't work either.

What else was there? I feel like there's a few. There's the practice nunchucks. Oh, I missed those. That was, I think, before. Yeah, but that's definitely. But there's another one. Yeah, there's another one.

And I feel like I'm not going to be the only one that has had this absolute. I feel like it's just everywhere at the moment. This is the latest craze, the new thing. Has anyone seen those makeup, they're just makeup pads, but they're the turmeric and I think it's kojic acid wipes. And so they're yellow and then you apparently yeah you just what you just use them to clean your face right and they're amazing they're magic i've written down some of the things that they've said okay yeah yeah go on apparently these magic wipes they clean

your face they moisturize your face all whilst rejuvenating your face. It naturally brightens and evens out the skin. Wow. Deals with is good for hyperpigmentation which is why I want it. Yeah. Melasma, dark spots, dry skin, oily skin, acne and it's made with 100% natural

ingredients. I mean what isn't to like? All in one turmeric wipe. All in one. Mate, you can throw out your entire medicine cabinet full of skin products and just use these turmeric wipes. Better yet, why don't you just go to the kitchen and get some turmeric and put it on a baby wipe?

They've got women promoting these things where they're like, look at what my hyperpigmentation is. It's gone from this to this. There's one that keeps coming to my feet at the moment where there's this guy who says he's a doctor and he's doing this powder which is meant to be good for brain function and overall health.

And he's sitting in a lab coat and he's at a desk and he's talking about it. I know that guy. He's an actor. He filmed an ad for one of the radio stations I used to work at. He directed it because he was in between acting jobs. That's how they get you. I did my research.

I went onto TikTok and I searched up people who have used these things. And it seems to check out. When it could work. I don't mean to be too skeptical. Do you reckon there is any chance, though? Be honest with me. Do you know the name of the company that's selling them? So there's quite a few. There's quite a few different companies. What's the name of the company that's selling them so there's quite a few there's quite a few different companies what's the name of the

company you bought them um i because i tried to buy the ones that are all over tiktok but they seem to be like american overseas they just so i ended up buying them from a company called serene okay i think it's called yeah yeah serene it all right. But I played them off against each other. I checked a few of them. How much? So they've got a deal on at the moment. If you buy one, you get one free. Right, perfect.

Are they reusable? Which is no. Oh, buy one packet, get one packet free. Which just makes me realise how much of a scam it is. I feel like no real... You still didn't tell us how much. You just said buy one, get one free. How much did you pay for the magic turmeric wipes?

How much? How much? I got... So I bought one, but got one for free. How many in a box do we know? It's 100 pads. 100 pads. 100 shine bright pads.

Yeah. For the low, low price. I reckon it feels like it deserves this. $68.87. I mean, it's a small price to pay because what if they do work? Someone's texted and said, a scam and an environmental hazard. I'm doing two with one. Two birds, one stone.

It's rich coming from me. I realised on the weekend I'm yet to unbox my flamethrower that I bought off the internet. And I only bought it because I saw it on Instagram. Let's be real. It's a flamethrower for killing weeds. You hook it up to the barbecue gas bottle. You're never ever, you're never ever going to go,

like it's never going to be a weekend. You know how you go, oh, Darl, I'm going out to mow the lawns. You're never going to have it as part of your routine where you're going to be like, I'm just going to do some light flamethrowing. I'm going to go flamethrow the driveway. But I'm not going to not buy a flamethrower for $27, am I? I mean.

This is how they get you. Yeah. Anyway, I was just wondering, has anyone used these pads and do they work? Just wondering. We want to know what's the product that you got tricked into buying from TikTok ads or Instagram ads or... What's the product where you...

God, you would have been a sucker for an infomercial if you were alive in the 90s. If you had a credit card in the 90s... What do you mean? I bought stuff. I still buy stuff now. Thin Lizzy, I'm all over it. You got the Ab King Pro?

Yeah. We did have the Ab King Pro. And we also had that thing, you know, where you put it on your abs and it was... Yeah, and it vibrates? Yeah. Bree and Clint. I think I've been had. It's highly likely, but...

But I still hold out hope. I know. It's that little rush that we live for now. I found that a lot during COVID where you couldn't go and look at the things. You had to buy it online. And we definitely got into the mode of, could be good. Well, I hope this thing that I've ordered blindly is good. I just remembered another one that I got done by last year when I was buying Christmas presents.

And this ad for this, it looked like a Game Boy, right? Oh, yeah. I've seen those. Looked like a Game Boy, but it has like a... All the Nintendo 64 games in it or something? It has not just that. It has like a thousand games in it from all different consoles. And it comes with like a micro SD card or whatever.

Anyway, bought it because I had my brother for Secret Santa and I was like, he's going to love this. That's right. We talked about it. He's going to love it. Yeah, we never talked about the result. That's because I literally turned it on to see what it was like, played it like for 10 minutes and then I turned it off

and then tried to turn it back on and it was like, you didn't turn it off properly so it completely reconfigured the SD card and was completely useless. I got so many ads for those and I nearly... Don't do it. It's a scam. The other one is the USB stick. Look at Claudia.

She's so shocked. Legit. The other one's that USB stick you put in the back of your TV. Don't buy it. And then you get the PlayStation controller and it says it has all of the put in the back of your TV. Don't buy it. And then you get the PlayStation controller, and it says it has all of the old school games built into your TV. It's this year's version of that Game Boy. Yeah, yeah.

It's all a scam. It's all a scam. Don't buy them. Anyway, I have recently purchased those, what is it, turmeric and kojic acid wipes that apparently get rid of your hyperpigmentation. Yeah, two for one. That was so good. I'll see it when I believe it.

People are texting and saying, you've got to let us know how the turmeric pads go, Brie. Keen to know how those turmeric pads work. Someone else is saying, don't sleep on your pillowcase. It'll stain it. Yeah. So we want to know what's the scam that you got done for. Ashlyn has called up.

Hi, Ashlyn. Hi, Ashlyn. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. What did you get tricked into buying, Ashlyn? So, a few years ago they used to do this chaos at the mall. I think they were called like Dead Sea Spa

or Deader Spa. I remember these people. I remember them too. You'd just be walking past and they'd basically grab you and pull you in to try a hand cream. You're not going to believe it, Ashlyn. I got done like a dinner by those people as well.

Yeah, no, they accosted me and my friends and somehow they told me they'd been buying I think it was like a $92 bar of soap. What? But Ashlyn, it's got minerals from the Dead Sea in it. Okay.

It's exfoliating and revitalising. You know where the Titanic is. That's how low they have to go to get this stuff. I don't feel bad. I remember when I was like in my early 20s and they did me like a dinner and they wouldn't leave me alone. So I bought some stuff. I reckon I bought like $300 worth of stuff, right?

Like face products. Yeah. I'm not joking when I say it gave me the most horrific face rash you have ever seen and I took it back to them and I said, look at my face. Yeah. I was like, give me my money back and they were like, oh, we need a doctor's certificate and I was like, here's your fucking doctor's certificate.

They're like, we know what you need. You need this Dead Sea Moisturising Cream. I was like, that's what I've used. You need this calming Dead Sea lotion. I was like, here's your fucking doctor's certificate. They're like, we know what you need. You need this Dead Sea moisturising cream. I was like, that's what I've used. You need this calming Dead Sea lotion. I was furious. Anyway, they ended up giving me my money back. Yeah, they were on fair go, those guys. Did they?

Yeah, it was just a generic bar of soap, but I could have easily got it. It's just soap, eh? It was nothing. Yeah, it's just soap. It's just hand cream. It was literally soap. Then, yeah, I spent nearly $100 on it.

$90 bar of soap. That's so ridiculous. Sorry, Ashlyn. Someone else texted in and they said, I got an ad for this gorgeous bikini on Instagram. It had amazing reviews and it was only $25 for the whole set. $800 on my credit card and two years later and I still haven't seen the bikini. Oh my God.

That makes me feel sick. I fell for that one. It was a cat scratching post shaped like a cactus. Yeah, it looked cute. You know, cat scratching posts have got like the twiny rope wrapped around it. It arrived and it was just a bag of green rope. Well, you have to make it yourself.

It was just the rope. Yeah, yeah. It was just the rope. Well, someone just texted through and said, I tried those turmeric pads on the side of my neck to test if they worked. Ended up with angry red bumps on that side of my neck. Oh, hey. You have to use them.

When they arrive, you have to use them. If anyone's listening, if you'd like to purchase some turmeric pads, I'm willing to sell at a good price. Bree and Clint. You know that hole-in-one in Taupo in the middle of the lake? Well, not the middle of the lake, but off the shore of the lake. I've always wanted to do it. Yeah, me too.

Because what is it? You get $10,000 if you get a hole-in-one. I mean, it's a great business plan. I always thought it was a scam. I've seen it. It looked like one of those carny things where the hoop doesn't fit over the block or whatever it is or the hole's too shallow for the ball to go in. Turns out it's completely real,

and an 11-year-old from Tauranga is living proof of that because he just won it. Please welcome to the show the $10,000 man, Elijah Ellis. Hi, Elijah. Hi, Elijah. Hello. You're 11 and you've managed to get the hole in one. $10,000. Are you

pinching yourself? Can you believe it? Oh, very. No, not at all. I still think I'm going to wake up from like a three-year coma. Three-year coma. You'll be 14. Amazing. You and your dad hitting golf balls. Is it true that when you hit the winning shot, your mum and sister weren't looking?

They missed you hitting the winning shot into the lake? Yeah, they were just too busy chatting as per usual. Oh, you're kidding me. So they didn't even get to see your winning shot. I need to know, how long have you been playing golf for, Elijah? Around five and a half years now, nearly six. Okay, so it wasn't just a fluke.

So you are a golfer. You've been training for this? Yeah, very. What are you going to spend your $10,000 on, Elijah? I'm going to take my family to a trip in Australia next year. What? Elijah. Oh, you are a good man, Elijah.

Whereabouts are you going to go, you reckon? The Gold Coast. Oh, there's some good golf courses on the Gold Coast. Please tell me you're going to carve off some of that $10,000 to get yourself a custom set of golf clubs or something to do with golf, something like that. Probably might get another club. It's very generous of you.

Very generous. Did you believe, I guess you do if you pay the money, but I reckon I would pay the money and just do it for a bit of fun. Did you believe that you could actually get a hole-in-one on that course or were you like me and you thought, oh, this is probably fake, but let's hit some balls into the lake anyway? Oh, no, I knew it was real because there's been quite a...

There's been a couple of people that's got it before, and my dad's got it. Wait a second. Wait a second. Oh, my God. So you're, like, second generation of getting this hole-in-one, Elijah. Yeah, well, my dad didn't get the $10,000 one.

He got the white flag, which we won a trip to go on a little boat and see the Maori carvings around the lake. Oh, cool. Yeah, I thought your family had made $20,000 out of the topo hole-in-one. Can you tell us, because you're an inspiration now, can you tell us, everybody listening, what is the secret to getting a hole-in-one on the $10,000 Lake Taupo hole-in-one thing?

Well, some of it's luck, but it really matters on just where you're aiming and if you play golf a lot. All I heard, Elijah, was a bit of luck, which means it gives me hope. A bit of luck and aim for the hole. A bit of luck and aim for the hole. A bit of luck and aim for the hole, and that's all you need. Yeah.

Hey, congratulations, Elijah. We'll watch out for you on the PGA Tour soon. Well done, mate. Thank you. That's Elijah. He's from Tauranga, and he just won $10,000 on that Lake Taupo hole-in-one thing. Bree and Clint.

I went out on Saturday after the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight to one of the girls who works here, Caitlin. It was her birthday. Oh, yeah. God, where was my invite? Well, obviously she doesn't like you enough. Clearly. I mean, I wouldn't have gone.

Oh, she's laughing. Look, she's in the other studio. It would have been nice to be invited, Caitlin. I thought we had something going on. Technically, I wasn't invited either, but I just tagged along with someone else. Were you a plus one? Yeah, another girl from the office here, her plus one.

You were not. You're trying to make me feel better. No, serious. That was the case. Yeah, look, she's nodding. Anyway, whilst I was there at the party, I met this very lovely girl named Maya who listens to our show. So shout out Maya if you're listening.

Shout out Maya. Hi. Right now. And she was really funny. Her and I got along very well. And she started telling me about this weird fact about herself where she likes to keep track of something that she eats every year oh she keeps track of something that she eats and in her words she loves this thing and she loves it so much that she keeps track of how many of these she eats a year i'm trying to think what it is okay she reckons she

does she eat a lot of them i would say say a lot, yeah. A lot, okay. She said to me... How does she keep track? Each year. I'm not sure how she keeps track. But every year, she's got a running tally of how many of these she eats per year. And she said she's tracking along very well for this year. Yeah, okay.

In terms of beating last year's record. I want to know what her goal is, yeah. She said... So I'll to know what her goal is, yeah. She said, so I'll tell you what the thing is. So she said to me, Maya goes, I don't think I've ever met someone who loves eggs

more than me. I love eggs so much that I keep track of how many I eat for the year. And then I was in, I was hooked by that stage. I was like, well, tell me how many eggs have you eaten for 2024? I'm trying to think what I would consider to be a lot as well. Yeah, it's a good question. More than three a day I would think would be a lot.

More than three a day. Three or more a day. So far this year, my new friend Maya has eaten 500 eggs. 500 eggs this year. Just as she goes so far. She said so far. There's still time to eat more. God, it's tough for her.

Eggs have gone through the roof price-wise. They're basically a dollar an egg these days. She would have spent quite a mozza on how many eggs she eats for the year. Yeah, it's not cheap. What's her PB? I think she is on track. What's last year's number? I forget.

I forget. But she said she's on track to beat it. It's 35 days left of the year. I don't think it's out of the question to eat three eggs a day. Yeah. I eat three eggs a day. Yeah. Do you? I eat three eggs a day. I most of the time eat two.

Yeah, a day. Two a day. So if she can go three a day, she can clock up. But not every day. Look, I'm not like, you know, it's not a part of my routine where I have to have two eggs every day. And I'm sure you don't either. Yeah, sure, yeah.

You eat peanut butter on toast. No, I've changed. Oh, okay. I have three eggs on toast for breakfast now. Oh, right. You eat peanut butter on toast. No, I've changed. Oh, okay. I have three eggs on toast for breakfast now. Oh, right. That's my breakfast, yeah. So how many have you eaten for the year? Well, I only started doing it about three months ago,

so I don't count. Oh, so you're way behind. Oh, no, maybe I'm not. Oh, anyway. If she goes three eggs a day for the rest of the year, she'll get another 105 eggs on there. Yeah. Pretty good. That'll be a pretty she'll get another 105 eggs on there. Yeah. Pretty good.

That'll be a pretty good goal. Yeah. Pretty good PB. Yeah. If she goes 15 eggs a day, she'll hit the thousand. Who is eating 15 eggs a day? Well, if she'd worked harder at the start of the year,

she wouldn't have to do 15. Now, it's because she's playing catch-up now. Can you imagine what that would do to your body? There was advice back in the day where they said that you can only have one egg a day. What? That it was bad for your cholesterol to have more than one egg a day. They said that the yellow part of the egg was high in cholesterol.

And then they disproved it. It went out the window. And people were like, if, yeah. Yeah, it just goes to show you can't believe everything you hear. Can't believe. You're right, you can't believe Dr. Ross. You know who I don't trust? I don't trust anyone that buys those weird bags of egg whites.

Like who is buying that? Bodybuilders. It weirds me out. Bodybuilders and probably people who make a lot of Pavlovas. I can't imagine it's the people making Pavlovas. Well, don't they just use egg white? Yeah, but they're not buying straight egg whites. They're buying just eggs.

What do people who make the Pavlovas, because I've never made a Pavlova from scratch, what do they do with the egg yolks? You make something else. What do you make? What do you make with just? There's heaps of things you can make. With just the yolk?

Yeah. There's heaps. You can make a carbonara. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah. Just the yolks? Have loaves and a carbonara for dinner. How good.

That's a good match. Yeah. All right, well, shout out to Egg Girl. What was her name? Maya. Maya. We believe in you. Maya, if you're listening to this,

can you please send us a message And let us know What you do end up getting For the year Because I'm I'm invested now And where is your tally? Is it a little chalkboard

Beside the fridge? Yeah Like how are you keeping score? Or do you just keep the eggshells? What if you inadvertently Eat something with egg in it? Does that count? Like if you're out

It's a good question So many questions. Update on Maya the egg girl who counts the number of eggs she eats each day. Yeah, apparently she's chasing her record from last year which is 601. 601. She's at 500.

Yeah, 500 so far for the year and apparently uses an app. An app. An egg counting app. Imagine putting together that app. Yeah. What does she count? We talked about pavlova before. If she has a slice of pavlova, does that count as half an egg?

Nah. No egg. I don't reckon it counts. No egg. It just has to be straight egg. Yeah, yeah, right. Yep. Okay.

And you asked about the egg whites in a bag. Someone texted and said you can't use those. Pavlovas need to be made with fresh eggs. So you were right. But they said I do use those bags for bodybuilding. And are they disgusting? On the bags. It literally looks like a big bag of snot.

Bro, when I said I wanted to get on the bag of white stuff, I didn't mean egg whites. The egg white, that's the worst part. Can I text now to 9696 if egg white is legitimately your favourite part of the egg? Oh, good question, yeah. It's just a vessel for me. It's just the nothing. Yeah.

And I'm sure... Yeah, the goodness is in the yellow bit. The yummy part is the yellow part. But I don't want just a fried yellow bit. It's the whole thing together, isn't it? Yeah. It's the yin and the yang. But if I had to pick.

Yeah, if you had to pick. The yin and the yolk, you mean? The yin and the yolk. Yeah. Okay. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down.

Punk. That's right. Well, do ya? It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down Punk. That's right. Google Down is back and we've got a full team on deck. So that means you can back any one of these people. Clint, Claudia or Ella are your choices. And if you back the winner, you could win yourself 50 KFC chicken dollars. Did I win last week?

Absolutely not. I can't remember. I can never remember. It was just you and me and I won. I was sick. I feel like it was a clean sweep. Yeah, it was a really

quick game. I feel like it was three. Crazy if I remember that as a win for me. You usually do. He's delusional. Your mind interprets things in different ways.

Oh, hon. You can choose. Well, technically, Ella lost. She didn't even show up. No. Shut up. Did not start. Sick days are legal.

She's a scratching. Clint, Ella, Claudia. Text it to 9696, right? Yes. Text them on through. Clint, Ella, or Claudia to 9696. And we'll play Google Down next. Just so you know, I have had my three eggs today.

If that counts. Yeah. Towards performance. Bree and Clint. All right, guys. Let's do it. Google Down next. Just so you know, I have had my three eggs today. If that counts. Yeah. Towards performance. Bree and Clint. All right, guys, let's do it. Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you?

It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Here we go. Google Down time where I put the team to the test to see who was the fastest Googler. And they could win you KFC chicken dollars. All right, team, how are we going? I've only had one egg today, by the way, just for everyone's reference. How many eggs have we all had? None.

No eggs? Three. Also, for the people who are invested in Maya keeping track of her egg count, I asked her what is the best type of egg? And without hesitation. Without hesitation. No, what type of egg? As in?

Chocolate. I like how it's done. Oh. And without hesitation. Quail. God, I just wish you'd let me speak sometimes. Okay, sorry. Shut up, all of you.

She said fried. Fried is the best. I disagree. Did you ask if she flips it? Anyway, Google down. The rules are I have put these questions into Google. The first person to yell out the correct answer will receive a point. First to three points wins the game.

Are we ready? Too late. Here we go. Question number one. Who invented the blender? Great invention. Stephanie Poplawski. Stephen J. Polowski.

I'm going to give it to you, Ella. She said Stephanie. No, I knew what she meant. Stephen. I heard Stephen, which is close enough to Stephen. Thank you. Thank you. But she was good on the last name, which is what brought it back for her.

Poplawski. One to Ella. Question number two. Which countries is the bottle brush native to? Australia. She's off to a flyer. Bit of a trick question there. I said countries.

Countries, yeah. Oh, you were only wanting one. But Google said it was only one. Oh, I thought you wanting one. But Google said it was only one. Oh, I thought you were waiting. Okay, never mind, Dora. Two to Ella. Everyone else on zero. She's going to be insufferable.

She could take it. I'm not questioning the result. Do we not consider the pohutukala a bottle brush? Different. It's different. It's different. Same family, different flower technically. I think the bottle brush is like a more,

it looks like an actual brush, like a round brush. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they look very similar. Okay, okay, okay. Question number three. All the Putakalas are going to start blooming soon. Such a pretty tree, eh? Here comes question number three.

How old is Santa Claus in 2024? 1,741 years old. 1,743 years old. 1,743. I said 44. I got a couple of answers. Okay, what's the answer that you got? The answer that I had was 1,753.

Ella takes it in a clean sweep this week. Oh, my word. What a day. Look at her go. What a day to be alive. Simon, not only have you won, you are part of making a little girl very happy today. Well done, Simon.

Hey, Simon, what do you say? What do I say? Oh, Simon. Sorry, I was doing a Simon speech. Oh, you ruined it. You ruined your big moment. You could have had your moment. You could have had your big moment.

Well, thank you, Simon. Oh, I'm sorry. It's a pleasure to do business with you. Hey, Simon's happy he gets the KFC. Thanks for voting for me Google down With the holiday season fast approaching I feel like it is board game season

For a lot of people You know when you get together with the family Board games come out And you get competitive Did you appreciate when you got given a board game As a Christmas present Yeah we loved it I mean it wasn't as good appreciate when you got given a board game as a Christmas present? Yeah, we loved it. Yeah? Yeah. I mean, it wasn't as good as when we

got a PlayStation 1. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But board games are still good. Board games have their place. I love board games. I'm a board game person. I do love it and that's why I've come up with a new radio game that I'm calling Real Rule or House

Rule. Okay. And if we can, sorry, I should have told you. Yeah, you really put me on the spot here. Right, if we can just cut this piece out. Yeah, we're good. Real Rule or House Rule. And today's game is Monopoly. Okay, producers, if you want to play.

Monopoly always ended in tears in my house. We never played much because it always descended into chaos. Causes so much drama within... Among siblings, mainly. Tears families apart. Were you guys ever the banker? Yeah. Yeah.

Same. And then I couldn't be trusted. Me too. Just skim a little off the top. I could be trusted, but my brothers acted like I couldn't be trusted, which was rich because my brothers absolutely could not be trusted. Sounds like you also couldn't be trusted, but my brothers acted like I couldn't be trusted, which was rich because my brothers absolutely could not be trusted. Sounds like you also couldn't be trusted. I could be trusted.

That's what someone who couldn't be trusted would say. Trust me. I'm the banker. Okay, here's the game. So we're doing the game of Monopoly today, and all you have to tell me, I'm going to give you a rule, and you guys tell me whether you think it is a real rule or a house rule.

House rule being? House rule being not an official rule. Not an official rule, but it seems to be a rule that a lot of people play. Okay, sure. In their household. You know? Okay. It's become common. Exactly. But now we don't know if it's real

or not. Here's rule number one. Taking a full lap around the board before anyone can start buying property. Real rule. Real rule. I think it's real. Yeah. Lock everyone's like unanimous. I'm going to lock in real rule because that's how it doesn't matter who goes first.

You know, you've got a chance to level the playing field. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. It's a house rule. What? Nah. Not a real rule. Nah.

Not an official monopoly rule. I'm actually outraged. I'm going to read the rules now. What the? I know. Crazy, eh? Here comes rule number two. Free parking is where all the taxes go in the middle,

all the money goes in the middle, and then whoever lands on free parking gets all the money. Yeah, real rule. Real rule or house rule? No, real rule. Real rule. That's also a house rule. Not the...

You're kidding. Not a real rule. Where is the money meant to go? Where are all the taxes meant to go? Back into the bank? Back into the bank. Really? Just like real life.

How am I supposed to get out of bankruptcy? I know. I'm just as outraged. So free parking is just a spot to sit on the board that doesn't cost anything? It does nothing. It's like you're not going to get penalised for being there? Yep. You're not going to get charged.

Wow. Interesting. Crazy. All right, here comes the next rule. When you land on a property and you choose not to buy it, the property must be auctioned off by the banker and other players can bid on it. What the?

No, I've never heard of that rule. That sounds like a real rule then because people wouldn't do it. No, I'd say that's a house rule. House rule or real rule? I've never heard of it. Real. That's a real one. What? That's how real monopoly rules are played. So every property has to be sold.

So, if someone lands on it and they don't want to buy it, it automatically goes up for auction and the banker will auction it off and anyone can bid on it. What price does it start at? It can start at anything. Really? Anything?

Not even the price on the board? It can start at any price. Wow. Yeah. Well, that really speeds the game up, that rule. Well, this is the point, right? Yeah, because Monopoly can frickin' drag. Exactly.

Okay, let's get to the next one. When you're in jail and someone lands on a property you own, you cannot collect rent from them. Yeah, that's real. Real rule. Real rule. Real rule or house rule? Real rule.

It's a house rule, baby. What? I think we could just sit in jail the whole time and win the game from jail. Well, the real rules. Watch everybody go bankrupt. And I haven't looked this up, but I'm pretty sure I'm right, is you have to roll three times like as in three goes. Yeah.

And if you roll a double like if you roll a double then you get out of jail but on the third one if you don't roll a double you have to pay 50 bucks. Oh send me to jail. Yeah. To get out. Send me to jail. Free. It's like living for free and getting paid. Right. Fill me up with

properties. Stick me in jail. There you go. You heard it here first. Okay, next one. This is the last one. Is this a real rule or a house rule? When you pass go, you collect 200 bucks. We all know that.

Yeah. But when you land on go, you collect 400. I've never heard that. Yes. Yes. If you land directly on go, you get 400. I want to say real. I feel like it's going to be real,

and I'm going to find out I've played everything wrong my whole life. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I believe you. Yeah, real. It's a house rule. Oh, thank goodness. Okay. Thank goodness.

I hate this. I don't like this. Oh, there you go. I want to play Monopoly now. Yeah. Okay. Thank goodness. I hate this. I don't like this. Oh, there you go. I want to play Monopoly now. Yeah. Yeah. I've never played it, apparently. Hot tip.

If Monopoly is a bit too hectic, play Monopoly Go. It is just as cool. Monopoly Deal? Monopoly Deal. Monopoly Deal, I mean. Yeah, Monopoly Deal. So good. Such a good version of Monopoly.

Bree and Clint. A vegan bride is in the news today because she was left in tears and furious with her family after they ordered pizza to her wedding because she was only serving vegan food. Let's hear her out. Her and her husband have been vegans for three years. Okay. The couple decided to have an all-vegan reception dinner, and they intentionally did not tell the guests ahead of time

that the meals would be vegan because they wanted to avoid, quote, vitriol? Prejudice. Yeah. Yeah. They thought they'd just slip it in. Well, if it wasn't going to be a vegan wedding, do you have to be like, this is what the menu is going to be?

Good point. You don't have to. Good point. Her plan backfired when her cousin took matters into his own hands and ordered 20 pizzas, telling the guests that he had real food for everybody to eat instead. Oh, that's so rude. She's gone on Reddit and asked,

am I the a-hole for serving only vegan food at my wedding without telling anyone and then getting upset when my family ordered 20 pizzas at the reception? I'd be so upset if that was my wedding and my cousin went and did that. It's so rude. It's so rude. It is so rude.

I agree. Like incredibly rude. It's so rude. It is so rude. I agree. Like incredibly rude. She said her and her husband spent months working with a chef to create a gourmet five-course meal that just happened to be vegan. It didn't just happen to be vegan. You wanted it to be vegan.

You agonised over it being vegan. She said, think mushroom wellingtons, truffle risotto, roasted vegetable tarts. She says that she spent over $15,000 on the food alone at her wedding. God, so eating vegan's not cheap. The ceremony was beautiful. 20 minutes later, she watched in horror as my cousins walked in carrying 20 large pizzas. They started distributing them to guests saying, real food for anyone who wants it. I don't know if I'd ever talk to those cousins again.

So she had up the cousins and the cousins said it wasn't even their idea that their auntie had text them at the wedding and said, all the food's just vegetables. We can't let people go hungry at a wedding. So the auntie meddled and got the cousins to order the pizzas. They're all off my Christmas list, all of them. At the end of the day, at the end of the day, right, everyone is entitled to make their own choices about what they eat. Absolutely. You know, that is up to the person.

And serve, right? And it is their day. They're paying for it, right? You are lucky enough to be invited and it is one day. To be honest, it's one meal. It's a free meal too. It's a free meal that you have not had to pay for. So suck it up, Buttercup.

I am not vegan. I don't particularly enjoy vegan food, but I can handle one meal. It's one meal. Yeah. Like, don't make it about you. Yeah, yeah. That's how I feel. I'm not vegan, but I can appreciate that.

It's not my day. It's like hooking your own iPod up to the sound system if you don't like what the DJ's playing at the wedding. It's not your wedding. It's not your wedding. It's not your wedding. Yeah. Our producer Ella is in the midst of planning a wedding and is currently vegan.

Yep. Is vegan. Is currently vegan. Is it a 100% vegan wedding? Yes, it will be. And I'm very excited. Is it going to be truffle risotto? No.

Oh, maybe. Mushroom risotto? Yeah, we went to, so the main thing is we have to have good food. This is our one time to show everyone that vegan food is good. And this is what this lady was trying to do too. Yes, absolutely. It's less of a wedding and more of like a vegan propaganda event, isn't it? Yeah.

And so yes, we're splashing. We're not paying 15 grand, my goodness. We're paying like one. Is it extra expensive to have to serve vegan at a wedding? Is it extra expensive? I actually don't know comparatively what we're paying compared to... Well, you've never thrown a meat wedding, have you? No, I haven't. But I just think people should

respect that. That is really infuriating. People should respect that. Few people on the text machine. Vegans are entitled! Are you kidding? Sorry, someone just texted that. Maybe they got cut off. Maybe it's vegans are entitled to serve whatever they want. Yeah, I think that's what they were trying to say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't bring too much into it. People don't like vegans. That's why this story is funny. But I agree with you, Ella, that it's their wedding and it's disrespectful to override their plans. Here's an interesting take, though, which I kind of get. They said, someone on the text machine,

a few people actually said they should have warned the guests. Warned them? Warned is a good word. They should have told the guests that the menu was going to be vegan and they reckon it would have probably went down a bit better. Yeah. We're not hiding the fact that our

wedding will be vegan. And then other people on the text, this topic just really riles people up. It's so funny to see how much it gets under people's skin. Someone said normal eaters cater for vegans. Vegans should cater for normal eaters. No. I don't want meat there.

That's the whole point. I'm vegan because I don't want animals there. You don't want to pay for meat, do you? You don't want to pay. No, I'm not paying for meat. You don't want to facilitate the slaughter of animals. No. Yeah, which I think you're fully entitled to because you're paying for it

and it's your day. Exactly. I think in the context of, you know, anywhere else, you have to have options for everyone. It is just the world we live in. It's not that big a deal. You know, at the end of the day, it's not going to hurt people. Let this text. It's so rude. You can, at the end of the day, it's not going to hurt people. Like this text.

It's so rude. You can eat vegan for one night to celebrate the couple. Exactly. To celebrate people that you care about. And then this text. I'd be ordering a bucket of KFC at Ella's wedding. No comment. They are the show sponsor. I think that's

from your sister. She does love a bit of KFC. I want to see you eating at the wedding, all three of you, with smiles on your face. I'm sure we will. There's a tofu steak. Mate, I have no problems eating vegan for a night. It's your day. It's not about

me. Did you miss that? What? She's serving a tofu steak. Okay, now I draw the line. You know how much I hate tofu. I'd rather a cabbage steak than a tofu steak. Okay, now I draw the line. You know how much I hate tofu. Tofu, I'd rather a cabbage steak than a tofu. We want to know this afternoon, I know 800 dials at him, what was the food issue at a wedding?

Yes. What was the issue around the food, around what they served or didn't serve? People always talk about the food at a wedding. They really do. I feel like the food makes or breaks a wedding. Not enough food, terrible food, bad food. I remember at my uncle's wedding, and I was quite young.

I reckon I was like 12 maybe, and it was the greatest thing I'd ever seen when they brought out trays and trays and trays of Ferrero Rochers. You could eat as many Ferrero's as you wanted, and I thought I'd gone to heaven. Now that is a wedding. That's a wedding. Bree and Clint. It's fascinating how triggered people get, though,

because we've only talked about it for five minutes. Yeah. And we have been bombarded with messages like, nah, shove your vegan crap up your bum. Well, when I'm having a wedding at my meat-eating wedding, then there's no vegan food for them. Someone texted and said, I'm going to order double meat tonight to cancel out any good that a vegan does. So we want to know what was the food drama that went down at the wedding.

Silvio is here. Hi, Silvio. Hi, Silvio. G'day, g'day. G'day, g'day. What was the food drama at the wedding? We were at my cousin's wedding in France in 2018. And we got there and it was in one of the nice regions known for the food and the wine and stuff. Got there and it turns out that they, because they lived in London and they'd come over and there was a vegan wedding as well, vegan food. I also am not vegan, but I have nothing. Like, I like vegan food.

It's fine. Yeah. But this was terrible. No one ate it because it was just so horrible. Oh, no. Can I ask, were the bride and groom vegan and did they know it was going to be vegan? I only found out when we arrived there.

But what about the bride and groom? Were they aware? Like, had they chosen that? Yeah, they picked a vegan that? Yeah, yeah. Oh, they knew. Okay. They picked a vegan wedding. Oh, no.

I just didn't really specify that to everyone else. Yeah. The worst thing about it, well, the best thing about it was everyone got really drunk because no one ate food. So it was weird. Everyone would have been sloshed. People went where they were, but at their core, they weren't angry that it was vegan.

They were angry that it was bad. It was bad. It needs to be good. But then the veganism got blamed for the badness. 100%. Those people might have screwed up a steak as well. You don't know. Yeah.

Well, that's the thing. Someone texts through, they said, 25 years ago I went to my best friend's wedding. He was a Christian and had a dry reception. His parents and my parents go way back so we all went to the pub in between the ceremony and the reception to preload. Then some of us took

hip flasks to add to the carafts of coke and juice on the tables. Needless to say, I've apologised many times over. It was a bad call with the power of retrospect. Is that as disrespectful as bringing pizzas into a vegan wedding? Nah, because people wouldn't have seen it.

It's different, eh? It's different. Yeah. Because it's actually making it fun on the down low. Isla, this is crazy. We're talking about Food Drummer at the wedding. Your catering didn't even turn up. No.

What? Wow. Yeah, so, yeah, no show pretty much. Your catering didn't even turn up. No. What? Wow. Yeah. So, yeah, no show pretty much. So I had literally spoken to the caterer like two days prior. Yeah. And everything had a date on it, and we reiterated that date on everything. Yeah.

And it was all good. So I got to the venue, and I got, like my husband now, walked up to the aisle to him and he looked at me and I was like, what? And he's like, catering hasn't turned up. And I was like, pardon? He told you at the aisle? Yes.

Wow. Why would that be the first thing that he says? Well, he said you look beautiful and blah, blah. But then he went, the catering hasn't turned up. So what happened in the end, Isla? What did you do? What happened with the catering? So the celebrant actually contacted the people that it was meant to be with.

And they were like, oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, we put the wrong date in. The person who works for us, he no longer works for us anymore. And they said, oh, if they want to, they can come to our restaurant, which was where it was, like, come to our restaurant and we'll put on a bar tab for them. And I just went, absolutely not.

They'd forgotten about my wedding. No, not good enough. No way. That is not good enough. So what did you feed your guests? So luckily I'd already organised like a reception. Hey, why not? Could have been vegan. Hey, better than nothing. you feed your guests? So luckily, I'd already organised a reception. Vegan food. Hey, why not? Could have been vegan. Hey, better than nothing.

There was plenty left over at the local cafe. Well, yeah. So luckily, I had already organised with a friend of mine who owns a restaurant. I had said, you know, look, this is what's happened. And he was like, oh no. And he went straight in and was like, right, put the chefs onto it and got into it. And I just gave him extra money. I was like, oh, no. And he went straight in and was like, right. Put the shift onto it and got into it.

And I just gave him extra money. I was like, oh, bugger it. What a legend. What a good friend. Yeah. I got a refund for the stuff from the catering company. But I was like, that's not good enough. It's not good enough.

And I really, I was like, no. Bad Google review. They should have given you double the refund for the stress. Thanks, Isla. Someone texted and said, I got so drunk at a wedding early, and then when they brought out the dessert, I'd sobered up a wee bit. And I was calling them out, saying, man, it's weird to go straight to dessert without serving mains first.

They had served mains. I just couldn't recall eating the main. Oh, no. But apparently it was delicious. See? Kobe's here. Hi, Kobe. Hi, Kobe. Good day Whoopsie. Kobe's here. Hi, Kobe. Hi, Kobe.

Good thanks. What was the food drama at the wedding, Kobe? So my mum's best mate, who I call Aunty, they're Indian, so they had an Indian-style wedding. Yeah, apparently Indian weddings are meant to be incredible, Kobe. Three-day things. It day things. That was awesome. I was probably about 10 or 11 at the time and I knew it was going to be a vegetarian food style which I

don't mind. But the one thing that they failed to take in was that us white people can't handle their spices. Oh, no. They didn't have kiwi mild. Nah, they had straight Indian mild, which was our spicy. So we ended up getting McDonald's on the way home. Yeah.

At least you waited until you were on the way home, Kobe, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, because I've tasted... I have some good Indian friends and I went to eat... I've eaten at their house a heap of times and their mum always laughs at me because she serves me, you know, Indian spice

levels and I'm not joking when I say there was one time where I thought I was going to die. Like, I actually legit thought it was the end. And they love it. And they love it. They love it. And they genuinely like that's just, you know, what they eat. I need to read out this one text before we go.

So good. They said, brother's wedding. The food was amazing. But our mum did end up choking on a piece of pork crackling. Just thankful that our dad, who was a paramedic, was there and was able to save her life. Could have turned out to be a horrible day. Can you imagine in the middle of the reception, I just imagine the Mrs Doubtfire scene. Yeah, yeah. Help is on the way.

Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday thing. Let's do your birthday bangers and have a bit of fun, shall we? If this is the first time

Shout out to Alicia and her leopard print thong, by the way. In 2011, we were just about to have an LMFAO summer, weren't we? Yeah, in neon, in those weird glasses with no lenses. Remember? So Redfoo was one member of LMFAO and then...

Sky Blue. Which no one ever knew his name. No, yeah. But they were, Sky Blue was Redfoo's uncle. Yeah. And you know why that band stopped or why they say it stopped? Well, the rumour I heard is one of them had back problems. Sky Blue had bad back problems and they had to stop touring.

He's the uncle. He's the uncle, the older one, yes. Don't start a band with your uncle. Never ends well. Show me one band. Worked out pretty good for them. They had a lot of success. Yeah, to a point.

But they can't do a greatest hits tour, can they? How much money? Show me one successful nephew, uncle band that has gone the distance, you know? LMFAO make. How much money do you reckon they made? $2 million. I love this new AI feature on Google.

Yeah, yeah. And it says, the electric duo LMFAO made a lot of money, especially with their hit single, Party Rock Anthem. Yeah, how much? Yeah, how much, Google? Nah. Yeah, it still doesn't know. They reckon there's another article saying,

a prox $4 million. $4 million? Yeah. I wasn't another article saying a prox $4 million. $4 million? Yeah. I wasn't far off with my two. $4 milli. Bree and Clint. These beautiful things that are. Call 0800.

No, not yet. Stop. Zed and Bree and Clint, that's Benson Boone and Beautiful Things. You didn't even turn my mic on. I'm having a fizzy. You're having a fizzy. I'm back. I'm back.

Oh, now people think we're giving away stuff. Yeah. Are we prematurely again? Just hang out for a second, guys. Don't stop calling. We will do it. Promise. We just have to do the blah, blah, blah first.

We're going to do a bit more jibber jabber. So the big dogs here pay us some money because we get paid per word. Correct. Which is something that people didn't realise. Yeah, yeah. But we do get paid by the word. Indubitably. Yeah. Oh, sorry. I'm paid by the letter. Yeah. word. Correct. Which is something that people didn't realise. Yeah, yeah. But we do get paid by the word. Indubitably. Yeah.

Sorry, I'm paid by the letter. Yeah, okay, right. Okay, this next story. If I asked you, how would you bring attendance numbers up if your church was not really getting the people in anymore? Dwindling, yeah. You know, if the numbers just weren't there, not as many people come into a Sunday service. Yeah. was not really getting the people in anymore. Dwindling, yeah. You know, if the numbers just weren't there,

not as many people coming to a Sunday service. Yeah. What would be the idea to get people in? Well, you don't even have to think about it because a church in the UK has answered that question. Okay. That's a creepy organ. After they decided to mix up their sermons with wrestling matches. Oh, sick.

St. Peter's in Bradford, West Yorkshire, has teamed up with wrestling charity, Kingdom Wrestling, to hold matches with prayer and worship to encourage more people to attend the sermons. Not bad. Not bad. I love this quote, right? It's out of the box.

I love this quote. I'm not sure if it's from the wrestling company or from a representative from the church, but they said, Any Christian will tell you that when you go through life, you wrestle with stuff. You wrestle with your faith, and I really feel that wrestling gives us that opportunity to tell those stories. They've really crowbarred it in.

Well, it's the old thing, right? Meet the people where they are. But I think they're onto something here. I think, yes, I think it's time that churches start to add things in to bring sermons into the 21st century. I think it's time that churches start to add things in to, you know, bring sermons into the 21st century. Brie and I both have a background with the church. We went to the most boring kind of church, the Catholic church.

And so I feel like we've got an informed opinion. Yeah, I definitely over the years sitting, you know, through the services thought about things that they could do to spice it up totally yeah yeah you know i'm like why don't they add in this or that and i thought we could run through a few ideas to spice up a church service to get more people to attend we had a brainstorm earlier and one of the clear standouts that we came up with was um replacing the communion wine with pals. Yeah.

Modernise it a bit. Yeah. Or just everyone gets a bottle each. Yeah, full bottle. A bottle each. Or do pals or do, I don't know, like maybe like one of those pink gin and tonics as the communion drink. It's a good idea.

Especially over summer. Or. Oh, yeah, mojito. Jager bombs. Oh, yeah. And you line them up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, at the front of the altar

and everyone just does a quick Jager bomb. I'm into it. Yeah, yeah. One of my favourites was we were talking about, obviously, the body of Christ. The communion wafer. The communion wafer. And Claudia said, why don't they just add a piece of cheese to that?

Make it a cheese and a cracker. Maybe a little quince paste. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like a cheese board. Yeah. I mean see that actually and I'm being genuinely. Some pitted olives. I'm being genuinely serious. They could be the nuts of Christ. It would entice me.

It would. Another idea I thought instead of the choir and the classic church organ that we can hear right now. Why not have Pitbull or like David Guetta come up and do a set? Oh, I would love that. I literally wrote maybe get a DJ in and get some better hymns. I reckon it'd be an opportunity.

Didn't Justin Bieber sing at a church once? Yeah, probably, yeah. That would be nice. Again, we went to the boring churches. There are churches out there. That's true. They've got pretty rocking bands going on. That's true.

You know? I would like to see because obviously the cross is quite important, you know, jewellery with, you know, if I could go to a gift shop. Yeah, like a church gift shop. That's a bad idea.

Maybe a tattoo artist. Yeah, that'd be fun. I was thinking, if you want to get the numbers up, do more miracles. Oh, that's a good one. Stop just talking about them. Do some. Oh, that's a good one. Stop just talking about them. Yep. Do some. I think that's a great idea.

Good, simple one. Yeah. I thought to spice things up a bit, instead of having just one priest, I think you take it in turns. Oh. You know, so each week someone else from the congregation gets up and has a go. At a wedding, you look under your chair and

if you have the piece of paper, you're the priest that week. Spread it around. And then you get to hear all the confession goss too. That's what I mean. That'd be great. This idea is crazy. I don't know. Stop tithing people so much. I don't know if that one will catch on, but that's a crazy one.

Some churches have stopped doing that because it's really awkward being like, give us money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can tell which one of us is not completely out of the church yet. Yeah. Yeah, those are nice ideas. What about instead of, you know, when you walk into a Catholic church,

and I don't know about other churches if they do this or not, you know when you dip your hand in the holy water and you do, you know? How about instead of that you bless a whole bunch of puppies and you get given a puppy at the door and then you just get to hold on to the puppy for the whole service. Free puppies. Yes. Bridesmaid style.

Yeah. Yeah, I love it. You get a puppy. You get a puppy. These are great. All right. Well, you're welcome to any of those ideas. Yeah.

They're not puppy riding. Yeah. Yeah Well, you're welcome to any of those ideas. Yeah. They're not copywriting. Yeah. Yeah, can you go straight to the top? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go straight to God. Free and Clint. And that'll do, pig. That'll do.

We're done. Hooray. Thank you for joining us today. I'm going to a fusion restaurant tonight. Japanese and Italiano. Oh, yeah, you mentioned this earlier. Yeah. I'm going to a fusion restaurant tonight. Japanese and Italiano. Oh, yeah, you mentioned this earlier. Yeah. I can't fuse them in my mind.

Yeah, neither. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's not a lot of creaminess in Japanese food? Oh, not necessarily. What's a creamy Japanese dish? Katsu chicken. Oh, yeah. Is it?

Not creamy like Italian creamy, is it? It's creamy, though, isn't it? I have no idea how they'll mesh the two, to be honest. Is it much rice and Italian cuisine apart from rice risotto? Risotto, arancini. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. What else? Oh, when they put it in those leaves, rice in the leaves.

Oh, yeah, rice leaves. Yeah, rice leaves. You know, the classic. I'm excited to see how it goes. Yeah, I don't know what to expect, to be honest. Like, I can't think of. Is it a real restaurant? Yeah, it's a real restaurant.

Okay. What's it called? That's a good question. Good opportunity for a pun name for a restaurant. What would you call it? I would call it... That's a more-nichiwa. What would you call it?

I'd call it... Itamishi. Oh, yeah. Itamishi. Doesn't sound like a pun at all. I don't think it is a pun. I think it's actually the Japanese word for... Fusion.

Italian food. Oh, okay. I think, but don't quote me on that. But I think that's what it is. Fun, jealous, keen. Have a great night. We'll catch you guys back tomorrow on the Brian Clint Show. Bye-bye.
