ZM's Brie and Clint. Good evening everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show this afternoon. Guys, it's going to be a good show. It's going to be a good show. It's going to be a good day because I have what might be, in my opinion, one of the greatest surprises for you guys. I feel like I know what it is, and if it is what I think it is, I'm very excited. It's a very good prize. You know, just picture yourself at work, and you're just getting to that stage.

It's around 3 o'clock, and you're like, God, I'm a bit peckish. Yeah. And maybe, just maybe, someone has brought in a surprise. A food angel. A food item. Okay. For the afternoon, maybe. Have they travelled that food item here?

They could have travelled that food item here. Oh, wow. Yeah, yes, please. Made it at home and travelled it to work. Well, that's another reason why today's going to be great. There's also great prizes. Plus, Lauren Hill from the Fugees is with us today. So.

Oh, no. Sorry, I didn't introduce you. That's my Nona. Hi, Nona. Oui, oui. So good to see you. Isn't that white Tupac? Where's that though? Shut up, Billie Eilish wears a bandana. So good to see you. Isn't that white Tupac? Where's that though?

Shut up. Billie Eilish wears a bandana, so I thought I'd give it a go. Ella's made a bold fashion move today and decided to wear a bandana in the workplace. And we are not letting her get away with it. Can we have minestrone for dinner please? Yeah. I like risotto more. Actually, no, I make a mean minestrone.

Is it hard getting clothes clean on one of those washboards? Yeah. What's that like? Is there a manual pirate clean on one of those washboards? Yeah. What's that like? Is there a manual pirate ship for all of us? You know there's some fantastic top loaders these days. Guys, that's a cool fashion statement. I need to wash my hair. Guys, be careful.

She's fundraising for Canteen. Oh, shut up. No, I think she's just joined a bikey gang. I believe that's what it is. I look cool. Do you remember Rock of Love with Bret Michaels? No. Later on, if I ask you real nicely, can you read my tarot cards?

Yeah, fine. Thanks, Axel Rose. We'll get a picture of Ella's bandana up on the Branklin Instagram story and we'll make her put it up because she's in charge of our social media. She's never wearing that again. I'm going to tag my own Instagram in it then. Yeah, you do that. My pumpkin is going to sue her.

Oh my God, I know exactly who she looks like. Screw you! Honestly, what was it like filming The Sound of Music? I don't get that! You get none of these jokes! That's why you felt confident enough to wear a bandana to work. It might be too tight. You don't get the references.

Let's get into Tradie vs Lady. The Tradies are dominating. They're two from two this year. It is 2-0 in Tradie vs Lady. So, ladies, we're at $0.800 at M. We need both of you to play with us next to win $50 cash. Who's it going to be? $0.800 at M.

Did you just say that? I said that. Hey, sometimes we like to double down. I didn't leave you much to say. Bree and Clint. Time for Tradie vs. Lady. It's Tradie vs. Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

Come on, let's get into it, mate. The Tradies, two wins on the board. Very strong start to the year. Can they keep going? No wins to the lady so far. Only day three, though. Let's meet our lady. She's from the Waikato.

She's 31, and she's got a 17-year-old dog. Really? Wow. Welcome to the show, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hey, how you going? Good, thanks. What type of dog are we talking?

He's a twin-riddle mix. Actually, he was on recently. Toto. I don't know if you remember. Toto? I spoke to you guysmiddle mix. Actually, he was on recently. Toto. I don't know if you remember. Toto. I spoke to you guys. His name was Toto, yeah. Wow.

Cute. And going well at 17 years old? Considerably, yes. Is he blind? Almost. He still sees it right. He doesn't crash into anything. Oh, that's cool.

That's good. Is he deaf? Yeah, he's pretty deaf. He'll only hear high-pitched sounds. Is he in a wheelchair? No, but he could do it. How many teeth does he have left? Supposedly he's got quite a few teeth.

He loves his teeth, I can tell you that. Hey, he's good to go then. Good stuff. Go Toto. All right, you're taking on our tradie from Christchurch, The 30, and they love playing rugby league. They prefer halfback. Welcome to the show, Mitchell.

G'day, Mitchell. Hey. One question for you, Mitch. Is it our year? Yes, you could say yes. Yeah, we'll say yes. God, you thought about it for a while, Mitchell. I'm confident.

Up the rooster. Up the rooster. Yeah, I knew he wasn't a Waz fan. He wanted that Christchurch team to go ahead, didn't you, Mitch? Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Instead, they got Papua New Guinea. How good.

Your buzz is tradie. Hayley, yours is lady. The first of three correct answers will get $50 cash this afternoon. Good luck. Here we go. Question number one. What age was King Tut when he became the ruler of Egypt? Was it 29, 19 or 9?

Lady. Yes, Hayley. 19. No, Mitchell. 9. 9's correct. 9 is correct. One to the tradies.

Question number two. Which of the following is not a bird only found in New Zealand? A kiwi, a kia, or a pukeko? Lady. Yes, Hayley.

A kiwi? I hope I listened to that question right. You weren't listening. You know what? In fairness, a very confusing question. I don't know.

Mitch, you can choose between the kia and the pukeko. Pukeko. Puke don't know. Match, you can choose between the Kia and the Pukiko. Pukiko. Pukiko's correct. Yeah, we just call that a swamp hen back home in Aussie. You've got Pukikos in Aussie, don't you?

Yeah, they're swamp hens. Yeah. Yeah. Which I only figured that out when I went home one year and I was like, wait a second, that's a Pukiko. It makes you feel less bad if you've ever run one over. Yeah, there's plenty in Aussie. It's not a native. It's heaps, yeah.

All right, two to the tradies. You need this one, Hayley, to stay in the game. Question number three. Come back, yeah. You've got it, Hayley. Come on, who sings this song? Mitchell. No, I don't know.

Billie Eilish. Billie Billie Eilish is correct. Well done. The tradies get it done in three. Well done. I was unlucky from you, Hayley, can I say? I feel like I found your tactic. When I play it from home, I always get them.

And then when I come on, I'm like... I know, it's different when you're under pressure, eh? It is different. It adds a layer to it. Mitch, you're the man. Tradies go three and a half. We've got 50 bucks cash coming your way. Well done.

Oh, happy man. Hey, Mitchell. Up the waz. Up the waz. Bree and Clint. I'm so excited. There's not many things that make me this excited, Clint. And it's not even excitement for myself.

It's excitement for my work colleagues and friends, i.e. you guys. Us guys. It's us. You, my team, my whanau here at the Breein Clint Show. Yesterday on the show, I found out something about all of you that broke my heart, really. It broke my heart and it was something that I said said I need to rectify this situation. I need to change it because you guys are my friends, my colleagues. I need to fix this.

And the thing that was said, Clint, was this. You know what travels really well? Cobb loaf. Once you have one, you never go back. Do you dip the bits of bread that you pulled out? Yes, you do! Guys, let's go the cobb loaf. Put your hand up. Who's had one? No, I've only seen one. I've never had you pulled out? Yes, you do. Guys, let's go the cob loaf. Put your hand up.

Who's had one? No, I've only seen one. I've never had one. What? Yeah, we want a cob loaf. I don't even really know what it is. Oh, my God. I'm so excited for you all.

Not good enough for my friends in Fano. Have you pulled a 24-hour cob loaf turnaround? I have done a 24-hour turnaround on a cob loaf. Producer Ella, bring it in. I'm so pumped for you guys. We decided yesterday that this is pretty Aussie. Oh, look at this thing. What a masterpiece.

Look at that. I slaved over my kitchen. It's kind of 80s chic. When you look at it, it looks like something out of your nan's cookbook. Little bit of a... I'll preface this with saying that because we're in New Zealand, couldn't find a cob loaf on hand. So it is a white sourdough.

Sure. But hey, it's still good. And you guys... That's a lot of food. ...are all about to try your first cob loaf. I'm so excited. Who's ready? Me.

Can I ask how many a cob loaf would usually serve? For a whole party. For a whole party. Yeah, a whole party. It's like a finger food type of thing. So what filling are we looking here? I see spinach. Yes, it's a spinach, cream cheese, sour cream dip.

I'm going to go in first. All right. Oh, my God. I'm so pumped for you. Excuse fingers. Get more dip. Get more dip. More dip than that? Yeah, pumped for you. Excuse fingers. Get more dip. Get more dip. More dip than that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all about the dip. Yeah. I'm going to have to get two bits. Okay. We're in. Ready? Three, two, one.

Oh, shit, mate. Oh, I just got that kind of, that full body shiver that goes down you, like the pleasure shake that goes down your body. It is taking everything I have to not have a taste right now. Claudia, get in here. I'm getting in. Claudia, get in here. Okay, and then I want both your ratings out of five coblobs.

How many coblobs out of five? I've even baked all the bits. Oh, my God. So good, eh? Oh, it's so good. It's so good. What happens with the lid? Do you eat the lid as well?

Then you start breaking the lid apart. Then you start breaking the actual loaf apart. Can I try a bit of crusty lid in there? Yeah, go for it. Because this is going to work as like a... You can have a bit of my crusty lid. A bread spoon. Can I have a scoop of your crusty lid?

Yeah, go in. Hook in there. Oh, that's a good mouthful. How's that? Oh, baby. It's the best day of our lives. I think I'm Australian now. Oh, my God.

The ultimate test. The ultimate test. Can we convince the vegan to try some cobbloaf? Cobbloaf! Cobbloaf! Cobbloaf! Cobbloaf! Cobbloaf!

For the content. Oh, he's getting in! For the content, she's abandoning her morals for the content. Get a little bit more dip. You're going to do it? Yeah, there you go. Oh, wow. Yeah.

What do we think? That's the most flavoursome thing she's had in five years. Anything would be good. You nailed this, Bree. Yeah, well done. Thank you, guys. Thank you. That's a 10 out of 10, Koblo. You will have to prepare this for every function that we have going forward.

I'm okay with it. That means I get to eat it. And you know what the next test is? We put the lid back on and we put it in the car and see how it travels. How it travels. She travelled it here to work and it's fine. Travelled it here perfectly. If you'd like to see how Brie constructed the cobloaf,

what's on our Instagram story? It's on the Brie and Clint Instagram story. Right now, you can make it yourself at home. I do recommend. The Bree and Clint Instagram story. Right now, you can make it yourself at home. I do recommend. Bree and Clint. The only show bringing you a cob loaf recipe this afternoon. Actually, I'm not sure what they're doing on coast. They could be doing that as well.

Nothing this good. We're going to talk about Squid Game next at ZM. Bree and Clint. I just watched a very good Instagram story on how to construct a cob loaf. And now I'm hungry for cob loaf again. And I literally just had cob loaf. That will happen all the time now. If you want to see it, and as a little teaser for you,

Bree goes topless in part of it. He's not lying. Go to the Bree and Clint Instagram page now. Follow us. Have a look at that story. And as a bonus bit of content, you can see Ella's new bandana as well. True. It's got it all on there today.

We're really giving the people what they want. Brie and Clint Instagram story. Are you going to be nice to me about it now? Is it a bandana or a do-rag? Oh, my gosh. It's not inappropriate. I don't think that's culturally appropriate. Have you culturally appropriated your headwear today?

Billie Eilish wears it. She's white. It's fine, right? Oh, if Billie Eilish does it. No, she hasn't gotten cancelled. If Billie Eilish jumped off a bridge, would. It's fine, right? Oh, if Billie Eilish does it. No, she hasn't gotten cancelled. If Billie Eilish jumped off a bridge, would you do that? I'd wear clogs. What?

I actually, no, never mind. We're here to talk about Squid Game. We are because the second season of Squid Game dropped on the holidays while we're all away. And I want to know who watched it. Haven't watched it. It hasn't grabbed my attention the way the first year did. But you haven't watched it. Yeah, I know. I haven't been like... But like, did you even try?

Nah. I think the last one I found so intense. It was very intense. That I'm a bit scared to get into it. But then actually about the same way about the first season, I was like, on paper this sounds awful. But it was such a great show. Quite gripping. Yeah. The second season of Squid Game, I believe, came out like...

Was it Boxing Day or New Year's Day? A couple of days after Christmas. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I mean, I feel like a lot of people were watching it. But I've done some research. Turns out, so let's just talk numbers. The original Squid Game is the most watched thing on Netflix ever. Ever.

Ever. I believe it's got like 265 million views or something. And that was just in its first 91 days. And then Squid Game 2 has already had about 68 million views. Oh, yeah. Okay. So it's getting there. Is it season

three coming out this year? Yes. Yes, which they do say. Yes, Squid Game season one is the most watched thing and then Squid Game season two is sitting at around number seven. Oh yeah, but it's still new. But if you haven't seen it, look

tiny spoilers they do play new games. I would expect them to play new games. Or else it gets a bit boring. I don't want to watch them do the Hokey Pokey thing again. Hokey Pokey? The honeycomb where they've got to lick the... Oh, isn't Hokey Pokey a dance?

Well, it's the stuff inside Hokey Pokey ice cream, isn't it? True. Yes, it is. That's correct. Honeycomb, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they play different games, which I think everyone was hoping for. But it got me thinking about what if they made a New Zealand version of Squid Game?

What would the games be? Because all the games are obviously from Korea. So most of them we haven't heard of or haven't played before. Like we have obviously maybe similar versions of stuff. Like Red Light, Green Light is similar to Red Rover, Red Rover? It's similar to What's the Time, Mr. Wolf. Yeah, right. What's the Time, Mr. Wolf.

What would be the games in New Zealand Squid Game? I've been thinking about this. And I think if we did a New Zealand version of Squid Game, you couldn't not include the game Duck, Duck, Goose. It was one of my favourite games as a kid. Did you have that in Australia too? Yeah, we had Duck, Duck, Goose. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A lot of these are going to be trans-Tasman things. Yep, go home, stay home. Go home, stay home. Spotlight. Spotlight. I mean, a little bit distasteful. Murder in the dark. Well, it would be appropriate for Squid Game

wouldn't it? Would be. Yeah, yeah. I don't think you guys had this, but if we were doing a New Zealand version of Squid Game, I would die instantly, but they would need to include either Foursquare or Gutterboard. Gutterboard? Yeah. Claude, do you know Gutterboard? Lee, I played it for the first time last year. Yeah, Gutterboard. Gutterboard? Yeah. Claude, do you know Gutterboard? I played it for the first time last year.

Yeah, Gutterboard. Yeah, right. What about Cub? Cub? Oh, the wooden sticks thing. You've never played Cub? I feel like it's a Kiwi staple. It's a barbecue game, eh?

Yeah. I've played it, yeah. Yes. I think it's Dutch. But I feel like a lot of Kiwis play it. Yeah, right. Okay, yeah. Have you said Bull a lot of Kiwis play it. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah.

Have you said Bull Rush? Oh, yeah. Bull Rush. Yeah, Bull Rush would be our opening game. Perfect. And then you can end it when everyone's sad and tired with hopscotch. God, Bull Rush would be even more violent than it usually is. Yeah, because people would die. What about beer pong?

Perfect. High stakes beer pong. High stakes beer pong. High stakes beer pong. God, I'm dying so early in this New Zealand Squid Game. Me too, I'm out of here. King's Cup? Yeah, King's Cup. Oh, fingers.

Fingers, yeah. Can you imagine? Catch and kiss. What? Oh, 100 dials at M. What games are we missing from the New Zealand version of Squid Game? What has to go in? They've got to be Kiwi classics.

What about the chocolate game? Oh, yeah. I know the chocolate game. Chocolate game. I've never played it. You've never played it? Yeah, I know. I missed it.

You poor thing. I know. Did you have a horrible childhood? That's what everybody says. Everyone's like. The chocolate game is it? I learned about the chocolate game last year. Really?

Yeah, yeah. Well, we need to play it for you one time. Well, I need to learn it so I can play it with my children. I mean, it's pretty easy. 0800-DARLS-AT-M or text 9696. We're trying to compile a list of games that would go into a New Zealand squid game. Talking about Squid Game 2, and what would be the games we would play if we had a Kiwi Squid Game?

Who do you reckon would last the longest out of us four? Based off the games we've talked about so far, I'd be dead in the first or second round. If it was against you three, I reckon I'd survive Bull Rush, but then I'd die after that. Oh, I'd drop a shoulder into you. We've had suggestions like Foursquare and Gutterboard and Spotlight

and Go Home, Stay Home, but what else should go in a New Zealand version of Squid Game? Kiwi Classics. Thomas is here. Hey, Thomas. Hey, Garnt. What do you reckon, Thomas? Oh, spin the bottle. Oh, you, Thomas, you pervert. What's wrong with that?

What happens, though? So what happens instead of kissing the bottle. Oh, you, Thomas, you pervert. What's wrong with that? Oh, you're just looking for a cheeky pech, aren't you? So what happens instead of kissing what they just get shot? Oh, you don't know. You can throw anything

at them. Grenade? Oh, my God, Thomas. Thomas is not concerned about their method of death. He just wants them gone. Geez, I'd hate to think what happens to

seven minutes in heaven. Wouldn't be seven minutes in hell, wouldn't it? So, Thomas, if you spin the bottle and the bottle lands on you, you die. Well, no, you've got to run away first and try and get away from whoever's throwing whatever at you. Oh, you have a chance at survival. So you've got a little bit of a chance. Okay. Okay, we like it.

Thanks, Thomas. We appreciate it. People are texting in heads down, thumbs up. Oh, that's bit of a chance. Okay. Okay, we like it. Thanks, Thomas. We appreciate it. People are texting in heads down, thumbs up. Oh, that's such a good one. Yeah. Heads down, thumbs up. Keep those little peepers shut.

Beach cricket in the New Zealand version of Squid Game. Yes. Different kind of cricket. Hundy P, what about Jenga, someone said. No, but that giant Jenga that they have at all the bars in summer. Yeah. Yes. Someone said capture the flag.

Capture the flag's good. Duck, duck, goose is coming again. That's already in there. Gumboot throwing could be in the New Zealand Squid Game. Coin rugby. Oh, coin rugby. Have you played coin rugby? Never played coin rugby. You've got to sit opposite sides of the table and you get three flicks of the coin.

You've got to get the lip of the coin over the edge. And then you get to flick it up for a try if you catch it. And then you spin it and you get to do a conversion. Well, that doesn't sound like rugby at all. It's coin rugby. I've never heard of that. Someone said, I love this one. Someone said the beep test.

The beep test is good. That is torture anyway. You know what's taking over from the beep test is the Bronco. Everyone's doing a Bronco now. Crack the egg on the trampoline. Oh, yeah. Crack the egg would be hardcore. Sardines.

I played my first game of sardines a couple of months ago. It was fun. Fluffy bunny. Oh, someone said if we did New Zealand Squid Games, we'd have to have the penis game. Oh, yeah. That to have the penis game. Oh, yeah. That would be a great game.

If someone says penis, and then you have to say it slightly louder. I'm not doing it right now. Oh, you're not doing it? I'll get in trouble. Dead. So many good ones. Thank you for these. A few people have been texting through knuckle bones,

which if you've seen the second season of squid game they play something on there called dolce which is very similar to knuckle bones i believe yeah marbles they played that on the first season of game is so good stuck in the mud uh brian clint nicks on the show all the drama that went down with the carrie underwood performance at trump's inauguration yesterday. She is not happy. And we'll get that after Benton Boone. And I see my family every month I found a girl...

Brianne Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, what has gone down with Carrie Underwood at Trump's inauguration? Inauguration? Yeah, yesterday he was obviously sworn into the presidency again for a second time

and Carrie Underwood had the honour of performing at the inauguration. As she went to perform, the music bed cut out. I think there was two seconds, and then it just cut out, and it was so silent, absolute blank for a couple of minutes, and then she had to perform a cappella. Now, if you've seen it, she did a phenomenal job, but I have heard from insiders that I know that when she got backstage, as you can imagine, it was not good. It was not good. People were not happy. I mean, we're talking

the inauguration of the president. She had a backing track that was not, that didn't run. So all of a sudden she's performing acapella in a room. So she's not out in the field like they usually have at the front of the White House or whatever. This was actually inside a room. So all the acoustics are completely different. Wasn't good. Wasn't good. She's had a lot of backlash about performing at the inauguration. But I will say, I mean, it is an honour to perform

at any president inauguration, you know, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing for her, regardless of, like, I didn't vote for her. What has been the feedback, Dean, because she's obviously a massive, massive country music star, and to put your hand up to perform at Trump's inauguration, it's obviously saying, you know, or maybe not saying, but kind of, that, you know, she supports him.

What do you think it'll do for her career? Well, honestly, in a way, i don't think it will really negatively affect it because she's a country singer in that space more than half the country voted for him people love him people love him and they love that she sung for him she is the new judge on american idol which i work on american idol is very middle america you know like i don't think a lot of people will be tuning out because of this i'll probably be tuning in if anything so i honestly think that it's going to be kind of good for her career. She did a great job.

She handled it very well. She was very good. The whole world was watching and she owned it. She shouldn't have had to, but she absolutely crushed that performance. So, yeah. She crushed it. Standing next to Trump while she was doing it as well. Like, they were just at the front of the room.

It was crazy. That's the latest out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. Great New Zealander is looking to have a statue of themselves erected in their hometown. Can I guess? Yep. Blobby.

No, Blobby, not a Great New Zealander. Oh, okay. No, Blobby, just a puppet from the UK. Oh, who am I thinking of? Thingy. Thinking of Thingy. Thingy could get his own statue. It's so funny to confuse Mr. Blobby with Thingy, but yeah, I get it.

Blobby, Thingy. Not Blobby, not Thingy. No, not Bumble. No, none of those. Real person. Kurau, the small town in the South Island where Richie McCaw comes from, have been trying to get a statue of him for years. Years.

They've just been trying to get the money together to put up a Richie McCaw statue. Okay. How many years have they been trying? Do you know? Richie McCaw retired. Ten years. He retired as an All Black after the 2015 World Cup. So it's ten years this year.

Why don't they just make the statue smaller and they'll have enough money? Mate, you can't make a small statue of a man who is so large in stature, you know? It has to be life size at a minimum. But I mean, if you want to get it done now, all I'm saying is make it smaller.

But how good would a 10 foot Richie McCaw statue be? Yeah, it would look good, but then I feel like it's misleading. People would go to the statue and they'd be like, damn, is that how big he is? He's enormous. He's huge. No wonder he was such a good rugby player.

Back in the news today, the people of Koorau, because they are hopeful once more, they want their life-sized, that's it, just life-sized, bronze sculpture of Richitchie McCoy, and they think that it will happen this year. You know who could give him some money? Who? Ritchie McCoy.

Yeah, but is that a bit narcissistic to pay for your own statue? Like it could be, but I feel like these poor people have been after this statue for 10 years. He's had nothing to do with it. I know, I know. And if he swoops in and goes, you know what, I'll pay for my balls. Yeah. It lasts a little bit.

My brass balls. My brass balls. Now, you know what the ultimate power move would be? What? If Dan Carter paid for it. And then every time they catch up, Dan Carter could go, don't worry, bro, I paid for your statue. I then every time they catch up, Dan Carter could go, don't worry, bro, I paid for your statue.

I got you. Don't worry, man. I got you. Hey, Richie, maybe you can get this round, seeing as I paid for your statue. Yeah. You know? I can just picture Dan Carter being like, okay, make that a little bit smaller.

Make him a bit cross-eyed. Yeah, a little bit, yeah. Okay, move that to the left a little bit. They set up a give-a-little in 2018. They wanted 50 grand. They only got three grand. 50 grand? Yeah, it's a bronze statue, and it's got to be good.

You saw that what happened to Cristiano Ronaldo's statue. Yeah, not great. It's got to be good. Just 50 grand just seems like so much money. I reckon they need more than 50 grand. Anyway, they're up to 40. They've got 40 grand. They've got no kids playgrounds, but they'll have a Richie McCaw statue.

Their wastewater is shot to pieces. Terrible. You can't drink the water out of the tap. Oh, but you can't put a price on a Richie McCaw statue. You can't. You really can't. Yes, you can. $50,000. 50 grand. I wonder what Richie... The government should pay for that. The government should pay for that. The government should pay for that. It's a statue

of national significance. We should be doing that. We should be looking at doing that. You should kick off the petition and dip into your own pocket. Well, let's not go too far. Let's use my tax dollars that the government already has. Right, I see what you're saying. To pay for the statue. Anyway,

this year they reckon Richie McCaw statue, it's on the way. I thought we could start a wider conversation about what other New Zealanders need statues. Thingy. Thingy. Yeah, thingy. Absolutely thingy. I'm going to throw him out there. If we called Jace Gunn right now, he would be behind that 100%.

Let's have a double. Jace and Gunn and thingy. Jace and Gunn and thingy. Yeah. Yeah, because there is no thingy without Jace. Exactly right. So yes, I agree with that. I think the Briscoes lady should get a statue.

100%. And it should be at a Briscoes. Yes. And it should be on sale. I think John Key should get a statue of where you can go and see John Key and you and a friend can do the three-way handshake with the John Key statue. That's brilliant. It's like a special hand that you and your friend can put a hand in

and the statue should be at Eden Park, where the three-way handshake happened, with Richie McCaw. Yeah. And then once they've finished with the Richie McCaw part, they send it down south. Yeah. Oh!

You know? Oh, we put the Richie McCaw statue with the John Key statue. Everyone wins. And then you can go and have a three-way handshake with Richie and John. That's what I mean. I love it. Yeah. I love it.

Who else? Hilary Barry. Hilary Barry's good. Yep. And she could be wearing that top that she always gets ripped a new one for wearing on Seven Sharp. Yeah. You know?

And so then it's immortalised in bronze. Tim Hill would go and kiss the Hilary Barry statue. Yeah. It'd be too provocative. They'd have to have the lips on the face replaced too often. They'd have to put a moat around there. Yeah. Can you imagine?

Everyone would just want a little pic. Who are we doing a statue for? If we could, what New Zealander needs their own statue and where are we putting that statue? The greatest Kiwi athlete of all time, Lisa Carrington. Oh, that'd be a great statue. Imagine the guns on it. She's not retired yet though, so she can't have her statue yet.

It would have to be in gold because she's got too many gold medals. So you couldn't do bronze because it just doesn't work. A man of metal needed for her arms and shoulders alone. Her traps. Bree and Clint. Richie McCaw is getting a statue in his hometown this year. So we're asking what other great New Zealanders deserve a statue? And where do we put it?

Someone said, this is very smart, it would be a very cheap statue as well. Stick man. Oh, he loves to keep prices low. Yeah? Oh, cheap because he's just a stick as well. Exactly. I thought cheap because he's from Parkinson's. Nah, it's just literally been a stick. Yeah, cheap because he's just a stick as well. Exactly. I thought cheap because he's from Parkinson's. Nah, it's just literally been a stick.

Yeah, yeah. We've had great suggestions so far and they keep coming in. Let's go to Emily on 0800DARLS.M. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. Hi. How are you guys? We're good.

Good, thank you. We're good. Who gets a statue, Em? Tina from Turner's. Oh, Tina from Turner's. My good mate Bubba Yeah You know what she loves

She loves Cars Cars Cars Yeah Tina from Turners Would be a goodie It's a great suggestion Emily

Thanks It's amazing how iconic Tina from Turners Has become Yeah Like she is Like the new Briscoes lady She is

And she's only been The Tina Turners lady For Tina Turners lady She's only been The Tina Turner's lady for a year or two. Nah, it's longer than that. Is it? Since I got here. Really?

Yeah. Oh, shot, Bubba. Heaps of good suggestions coming in. Julian Dennison and Taika Waititi in West Auckland. They would go hard. That would be awesome. Michaela Blyde, greatest sevens player of all time. Yeah, she's gone to the Waz.

I know. I'm so pumped for that. Come over. Come over, Michaela. The Nick Minnick guy deserves a statue. And it should be outside the dairy. And he should be holding a scooter. We reunite him with his scooter.

That would be awesome. Sheila's here. Hi, Sheila. Hi, Sheila. How are you? Happy New Year's here. Hi, Sheila. Hi, Sheila. How are you? Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Sheila. If money was no object and we could do it for everyone,

who do you think deserves to get a statue here in New Zealand? Oh, it would have to be Paddy Gower, and it would have to be outside a library. This is an effing library. I love that. Yeah. I love it Yeah I love it I'm keen for that

Yeah I think he's a great New Zealander Yeah He definitely deserves it 100% Thanks Sheila Someone else said What about Lorde And you put it in whatever town

She grew up in Oh Devonport She grew up in Devonport Yeah Someone said Dr Ropata gets a statue Good question Dr Ropata

Great question here Someone said If we did do the thingy statue that Bree suggested, would it have one eye or two? Because his eye famously fell out. I think, oh, well, if you wanted to save money, you go one eye. One eye, yeah. Someone said, Stephen Donald, just his foot,

that kicked the Rugby World Cup winning goal to save money, just his foot. Yes. What about that thing that was thrown at, what's his name, that time in the press conference? Oh, the big. You could erect that somewhere. Stephen Joyce got hit in the face with a large adult fun thing at Waitangi. You could erect that anywhere, actually.

It's pre-erected, I think. Someone said Stephen Adams. He'll never get a statue. Too tall. Too tall. Too much metal. It'll cost too much money. Someone said, surely Chris Hipkins, mid-yoga pose, spreading his legs.

People are so funny. That would be good. I reckon we need to pick one to concentrate on. It's got to be something we can all agree on. There's a few politicians in there, but not everybody can agree on a politician. That's why you can't build a statue of a politician. Okay, let's see if we can all agree. No one look at any more. Okay, on three, two, one, producers. Yeah, everybody say who it's going to be. Everyone says who it's going to be. Okay, we can only build one statue and we can only build the statue if we agree.

Yes. Okay? Ready? Okay. Three, two, one. The Briscoe's Lady. The minute guy. The see you, see you later lady.

See you, see you later lady. Oh, Susie Kato. Susie Kato. Oh, they're all good choices, but. We could have had the Briscoe's Lady. Could have had the Briscoe's Lady. You guys ruined it. Sorry.

And her eyes light up when there's a sale. They're always on. Oh, see, that's awesome. Yeah, ruined it. Sorry. And her eyes light up when there's a sale. They're always on. See, that's awesome. Yeah, eyes are always on. That girl, mate. Let's play Google Down. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you?

It's time for Bree and Clint's Google Down. Punk. Yes! Yeah! Google Down time. First game of the year. The rules are simple. I will read out a question.

First one in the room out of Clint, Claudia and Ella to yell out the correct answer. Wins a point. First to three points takes the game. Are we all ready? Are we all set? Anyone want to say anything before we get underway for the first game? You're going down.

Do your best, guys. I am trying. That was so condescending from Claudia, who always wins this game. I mean it. You are playing for people at home, so there is a lot on the line. Is it 50 KFC chicken dollars? It's 50 KFC chicken dollars. A lot on the line. Here we go.

Question number one. How many people watch Squid Game season one? 265,200,000. 330 million. What did everyone say? I said 265,200,000. I said over 330 million, but before Ella did. I said $330 million.

I did hear you say it before Ella, and you're correct. Not over $330 million. Over $330 million. You both said the same thing, but Claudia said it first. One to Claude. Clint's giving me the evil eyes. Shut up. That's what he says.

No, he's mad that he didn't get the point. Okay. I am fine, and I am trying. I got the point. Just so we're clear. shut up. That's what he says. No, he's mad that he didn't get the point. Okay. I am fine and I am trying. I got the point. Just so we're clear. Shut up. Question number two. How many people is a sold out crowd at R&V?

15,000 people. Stay signed out. No, get out of there. Oh, no, I'm wrong. Claudia's out. No, get out of there. Oh, no, I'm wrong. Claudia's out. Oh, I know what it is. How many people is a sold-out crowd at R&V? 28,000.

You know what? 25,000 to 30,000. Can I have another guess because she didn't quite get it? I'm going to give it to Ella because technically it's between 25 and 30 and 28 is like right in the middle. The answer, according to Google, is 25 to 30,000. I am the judge and I award Ella the point.

Suck it. Oh, come on. You weren't that fast anyway. Question number three. Who invented batteries? Who invented? I'll take one name. Alessandro Volta. John Stringfellow.

Claudia got it done the quickest. There's two names. Alessandro Volta, which makes sense. Volta. Oh, my God. Batteries and volts. Okay. And John Stringfellow.

All right. They call them the Betty Boys. They're both batshit. All right. They call them the Betty Boys. They're both batshit. All right, two to Claude, one to Ella. Question number four. How old is musician Becky Hill? Teddy. Oh.

Sorry, no screaming. Sorry. She just got there. She'll be 31 next month on Valentine's Day. So, yes, currently she is 30. She was in the country for R&B. Younger than I thought. I mean, she's done a lot, eh?

All right, two to Ella, two to Claude. Are you just hanging up the phone? All right. It's between the girls. Question number five. Here we go. What is Britney Spears' middle name? Alright. It's between the girls. Question number five. Here we go. What is Britney Spears' middle name?

Congratulations. Thank you. No worries. Well done. Oh, God. I just threw it out there and it didn't feel right as soon as I said it. Sometimes you've got to go for it. All right.

Well done, Ella. She broke her New Year's resolution, though. She did. Sorry. But she was excited Sorry I did win And I never win People don't care if she's excited or angry

People hate screaming All they hear is a cat being run over Can I have an incentive If I don't scream at the next games You can bring a kitten in just for the show Or You get to keep your dignity I was about to say you get to keep your job

Bree and Clint I had a weird experience at the physio At the end of last week Or you get to keep your dignity. I was about to say you get to keep your job. I had a weird experience at the physio at the end of last week. Oh, no. Yeah. Was it like the time the physio put his hand in my mouth? No, other end of the body. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You had a physio? Yeah, do you remember? Oh, yeah, put the glove on and they go to the roof of the mouth. Technically it wasn't a physio, it was an osteo, and I had chewing gum in my mouth, and he put his hand in like the side of my mouth to adjust my jaw. This is the same.

And the chewing gum came out on the glove. When you don't know that this thing is going to happen at your physio or osteo appointment, you don't come in prepared. Like if you'd known that, you wouldn't have had chewing gum in your mouth. No. Like if you'd known you were going to get fingered in the mouth. And he didn't really let me like prepare. I was like, if I knew this was happening. So I'm having knee problems at the moment, one knee specifically.

And so I went to the physio and I thought, oh, so long as my knee, I wore shorts. I thought, let's have my knee exposed. Right. And so long as I've got shorts on, then he can physio my knee. He's a very good physio, by the way. I've never had someone get results as fast as this guy, but I still wasn't expecting this thing.

Did you say he hit the spot? He hit the spot, all right. We went into his gym and we did some movements, and he goes, okay, have I located the problem? And then we went into the treatment room, and he prods around a little bit, and he goes, oh and he goes okay I've located the problem and then we went into the treatment room and he prods around a little bit and he goes

oh yeah I've really located the problem how do you feel about dry needling have you ever had dry needling before yes I have it's like acupuncture

but the needles are only in there for a split second yeah it's a weird feeling yeah and I was like fine with me and he goes

okay sign this waiver just sign here and make sure you're all good with it and you've got the information about how dry needling. And I was like, fine with me. And he goes, okay, sign this waiver. Just sign here and make sure you're all good with it and you've got the information about how dry needling works. And I was like, yeah, I'm fine, man. It's fine. I don't, honestly, I'm fine with this stuff. Just, let's just do it. So I signed

it. And he goes, alright, I'll put them to the bed and take your pants off. Yeah, but you got undies on. Yeah, no, and pull your undies down. Where was he putting the needles? The needles were going into my bum cheek. So the issue... Oh, into your glute.

The issue with my knee is a weakness in my glute muscle. And so he needed to dry needle the base of my bum cheek, which was fine. And he did it in a completely professional way. And I'm not besmirching the good name of this physio in any way. It's just, had I known that I was going to have to get my bum out at the physio. You would have waxed. I would have showered at least.

Ew. I would have. And they were fine. They were fine. But I would have made sure that I had good undies on. Wait. You know, all these things. I'm glad you finished that sentence because you said they were fine.

They were fine. And then you go, my undies were fine. No, no, no, no, no, no. I was face down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was on my tummy and it was like. So just bare bum. And he did all the right things. He, like, left the room. He goes, I'll leave the room.

I'll pop this towel over you. I hate when they do that. And you just, you whip your trousers down and then put the towel back over you. And then he comes back in and you know this. I hate when they come back too early and you're like, not yet. Not yet, not yet. Tucks the towel into my undies. I'm just lying there face down, bum up.

Really good though. The dry needling, really good. The dry needling is great. Did you know this might make you feel better? There is, and I've been told about this from a few people because I suffer with endometriosis and there's a thing you can get done where it's an internal adjustment. Adjustment, yeah.

Have you heard of that? Remember I told you about the osteo who performed the internal adjustment on my pregnant friend? Mmm. And I just went, I don't know. I don't know if I'm mentally prepared. Yeah. Like what that would feel like. You know you can

be internally adjusted from both entrances down there as well. Yeah, I know. Entrances or exits, whichever way you look at them. Well, you guys only have one. Yeah, I've only got one. It's hard to go up the other one. I don't think you'd be adjusting much.

Anyway, if you're planning a trip to the physio and you haven't been for a while, this is just a PSA. They have some new techniques. Have a shower. Have a shower. Put on your cleanest, nicest knicks and you'll be sweet. And spit your gum out.

Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday thing. this nicest nicks and you'll be sweet. And spit your gum out. I feel like after listening to that song I've done a CrossFit class. Oh, I feel like I need a chamomile tea. Yeah. Just done a heap of deadlifts. A little lorazepam or something.

This is Birthday Banger where we find out the number one song on your 16th birthday and we're going to do Alana's mum's birthday banger first. Hi, Alana.

Hey, whilst you're here, what is your date of birth? The 9th of July, 1983. All right, that means you were 16 in 1999, Charlie. And on that day, this was at the top. Oh, it's the song attached to every kiss cam at a stadium. And I feel like every teen movie for about 10 years as well. Yeah, definitely.

It brings back being 16, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. It's got strong 16 vibes. You're right. Do you like it, Charlie? I'm a bit of a party animal, so yeah, it's a bit sad, but it's all good. It is a bit of a mellow vibe. It's not sad.

It's a happy song. But I like it. But yeah, I know what you mean. Okay, wait there, Charlie. We'll do one more birthday banger for Ash. Hi, Ash. Hi, Ash. Hi, how are you?

What have you been up to today, Ash? So trying to survive the heat. How hot, where are you and how hot is it? One ganui and 28 to 30 degrees depending on what app you're using. It varies so much, eh, across the different apps.

Well, it's Wednesday, you can start drinking, so that'll help. Ash, what's your date of birth? 10th of February, acts. Well, it's Wednesday. You can start drinking, so that'll help. Ash, what's your date of birth? 10th of February, 1995. Oh, it's coming up, Ash. You were 16, though, in 2011. And on the 10th of Feb, this was number one.

Proclamers, Sixpence, None the Richer, Rihanna. Eh, eh, eh, None the Richer, Rihanna. What are you thinking? I was vibing that Sixpence, None the Richer song. So was I. But the Rihanna song's got a way better buzz to it. The Rihanna song just has a better vibe about it. Proclaimers has got a good vibe too. Proclaimers does have a good vibe.

How long is the Proclaimers song? Well, don't... It's shorter than the Rihanna song. Is it? Yeah. Ooh. Three minutes 30 for Proclaimers, four minutes for Rihanna. I felt the vibe on Rihanna.

So did I. I'm going Rihanna. Okay. I agree. Yeah. Ash, you just won birthday banger. Well done. Yeah, yeah.

Rihanna, S&M, the winner of Birthday Banger. And the cause for my favourite text of the day so far. Someone texted when that song came in and said, Yas, screw these 49-year-old knees. I'm slut dropping. Yeah, you go, girl. Yeah, you get it, girl. Drop it low. Or boy.

Or boy. Or boy. Or boy. They would be a 49-year-old boy or girl would be equally scared to drop it that low. It's not the dropping it low that is the risk. It's the getting back up. Yeah. My knees click every single time I bend them.

It's pathetic. Yeah. There's something weird going on in Lower Hutt at the moment, just outside of Wellington. Well, kind of in Wellington. Controversial. It's getting higher? No, that's Upper Hutt.

Oh, right. Because I was thinking if Lower Hutt was getting higher, it'd be Medium Hutt. Oh, yeah, I guess it could go to Middle Hutt. Middle Hutt. Yeah, go to Middle Hutt. Is there no Middle Hutt? Is there any hut?

Yeah, where's just the hut? Well, Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt are in the Hutt Valley, so I guess it's the lower part of the valley and the upper part of the valley. hut? Yeah. Where's just the hut? Well, Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt are in the hut valley. So I guess it's the lower part of the valley and the upper part of the valley. Right. Yeah. Because like the middle. I guess the middle is the line of delineation which separates lower from upper. Kind of like the gooch.

No, but yeah. Like a belt. Like a belt. Okay. Like a belt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, in Lower Hutt at the moment, there is someone who is going around and finding random letterboxes to place erotic literature inside.

Random? Yeah, like raunchy books. Like, let's clarify, are we talking dirty magazines? No. Or are we talking like? Lusty novels. Lusty novels that are super popular at the moment. Yes.

Adult stories, but novels. Not stick mags. Yeah. Not jazz mags. So no picture books. No. No, no, no. Like your Fifty Shades of Grey or your.

Like a Mills and Boone. Erotic. Erotica is the word for it. Or smut is the the word for it. Or Smut is the popular name for it at the moment. It is very popular. And letterboxes from Eastbourne to Lowry Bay in Lower Hutt are receiving them randomly. No one knows who's doing it.

No one knows who's dropping them off. That's random as. They're all secondhand books. They're all largely like 80s Early 90s novels But still has costed someone money Yeah To go and drop those endeavours

And they've decided to give them out for free I think if I was receiving second hand erotica I'd prefer a novel over a magazine Yeah I just Is second hand erotica like a market? Is there a market for it? Absolutely.

Surely. Depends how damaged it is, I guess. Yeah, depends how. You know, how good a condition the books are in. And you can tell if there's moisture damage on a book. Yeah. Like if it's got mould. If there's a page stuck together.

Yeah, I mean, there's no good mould. Books can get mouldy. Not all of the books that are being delivered are rude books, though. Some of them are just normal novels. How gutted would you be? I'd be so annoyed. If you heard about the Lower Hutt Lusty Book Lever and they visited your house and they just left you like a

Richie McCaw autobiography. Imagine if you caught the Lusty Book Law autobiography. Imagine if you caught the lusty book lever on camera, kind of like Santa Claus. Yes. Like it's like a mythical magic creature. I think you have a duty to not release that footage. I picture them, because you know how Santa has a uniform. Yeah.

I picture the lusty book lever to be wearing a sexy maid's outfit. Or some kind of lingerie. Yeah, like a sexy maid. Like a negligee. Like black and white with a garter. Like that's the uniform. Or a full gimp suit. But they still have a sack the same as Santa that they deliver

all the books from. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, if you're in the Hutt region, open your box and you may get a surprisingly exciting delivery. Into the letterbox. Oh, letterbox. Letterbox, yes. Letterbox, just to clarify.

Bree and Clint. Look, at the end of last year, we launched what potentially could be a game with the greatest radio moment you will ever hear on a radio station. Slow burn, though. And that's kind of what makes it so good. It's like Tentra. It's the slowest radio game burn ever.

Because it will be so good because it's so unlikely to ever come off that if it does, oh, my God. It's called Name in a Haystack, and here's the concept. It's so unlikely we get a random name from one of our producers and then another random workplace from our other producer. We call them, we ask them, does the person with this random name work there, or they answer the phone and they win?

No, the person with the name has to answer the phone. Oh, that's right. The person with the name has to pick up the email. Yeah, I know. We started going, is there someone in the wider community with that name? No, they have to have the name when they answer the phone. Good to re-clarify these rules going into 2025. Who's got a workplace for us today, producers?

I'm going with the classic, iconic Smiggle. Smiggle. Smiggle, okay. I haven't thought about Smiggle in a minute. You will soon when your kids start wanting them. Yeah, totally. Okay, Smiggle's a great choice. Smiggle? Smiggle. Smiggle? Smiggle? From Lord of the Rings. Precious.

Claudia, who works at Smiggle? Frodo? Samwise. Oh, I could do Sam. You could do Sam. I was going to do Sophie, but... Oh! If you pick one or the other now... Oh, no.

Sam's ambidextrous. I mean... Yeah, Sam could go ambidextrous. We don't know if Sam's ambidextrous. We haven't met them yet. It could be a boy or a girl, Sam. But you choose. It's up to you.

I'm going with Sam. Sam. Yeah, I have to. If it is Sophie, I'm going to scream. Okay, all right. We're going with Sam. Claudia, please connect us to a local smiggle. Good luck to us.

If it's Sam, $300 cash. Oh, yeah, we forgot to mention that. Sam gets $300 cash. That's a lot of smiggle. Okay, come on. Thank you for calling Smiggle Albany. You're speaking with Yaz. Sorry.

Is that Yaz, did you say? Yes. Oh, Yaz. Long or short for anything? Talk about how. Yaz Salmon. Yaz Salmon. Hi, Yaz.

It's Brian Clint from ZM. How are you? Oh, hi. Good, thanks. How are you? We're good. Look, we're playing a game called Name in a Haystack, and if your name had been Sam, we would have hooked you up with $300.

Okay. More than that, you would have created Radio Magic, but it wasn't to be. Last name Sam? My last name? Yes, your last name Sam? No. Is there a Sam that works there at that smiggle? No, definitely not.

Do you know anyone called Sam? I actually don't, funnily enough. Oh, my God. It's a very common name. Right, so it wasn't to be. It wasn't to be. Well, you've been delightful, Yaz. Sam, we've got a $50 cash prize for you,

thanks to our friends at Neon, that we can hook you up for being such a good sport. Oh, thank you so much. No worries. You are welcome. The game is not great because it's easy. The game is great

because it's hard. Because it's incredibly hard and unlikely. We go to a new workplace with a new name next week. Stop texting us to call your workplace with your name.

That's not how this works. Bree and Clint. I went home for a couple of weeks over the Christmas break. It was so nice. I got to see my family, spend some time. And there was something that I noticed on my travels.

And I, because of this thing that I've noticed, I am opening up an investigation. Okay. An investigation into the phenomena that is hip hip hooray. Look, when I'm home for holidays, my dad has a birthday. We celebrate my dad's birthday. My partner has a birthday. And I also have a birthday within the space of a week. Oh, it's busy.

It's busy, right? A lot of hips, a lot of hoorays. A lot of hips, a lot of hoorays. And for the whole time we were in Aussie for that whole time. And it just became really apparent to me that the hip hip hooray, different everywhere you go. Really? Different everywhere you go. Really? Different everywhere you go and hear me out. I believe, and this is what the investigation hopefully will get to the bottom of,

in Australia, mandatory. After a happy birthday? After you sing happy birthday, it is always done. 100% of the time, or maybe 99% of the time. Yeah. But 100% of the time the hip hip hoorays it's a part of the song

in Australia. Right? In New Zealand I feel like it's 50-50. It's optional. Yeah. It's optional. Often there'll be someone

there's not someone confident enough in the group Do you agree that it's not always to step forward and do the hip hip hooray? Yeah, do. Yeah, yeah. It's not someone confident enough in the group. Do you agree that it's not always? To step forward and do the hip-hop parade. Yeah, do. Yeah, yeah. It's not always, is it?

No. I went out into the office before the show and I got a group of people together to test this theory. And here's what happened. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Are we listening to the whole song? Yep. Okay.

Love it. Happy birthday to you. Hip, hip. Hooray. Hip, hip. Hooray. Hip, hip. Hip, hip.

Hooray. Three. Always three. Ooh, two hip, hip hoorays. So what you didn. Ooh, two hip hip hoorays. So what you didn't hear, and I feel like... That was so lopsided. Claude cut out a bit of the awkward silence between... You didn't?

It was quite a long silence. Everyone kind of looked at each other after the song finished, and then someone reluctantly went, hip hip. It's because you need a dominant person to start the hip hip hoorays. And if it's, it's quite often the person closest to the birthday person that should do it. You reckon? Yeah. And it should also be the person who.

Oh, I see. Not the person closest. Not physically closest. No. Like if, if I, if we have a birthday party for my wife. You should do it. I'll do it. Yes.

Yeah. Right. But if her parents have a birthday party for her. Is I'll do it. Yes. Yeah. Right. But if her parents have a birthday party for her, then they would do it. Is that hip, hip, hooray etiquette? I feel like it's unspoken etiquette. Yeah, yeah. So get this, though. I believe, and text us on 9696 if you are from another country,

I believe it is only a thing in Australia and New Zealand. To do the hippo parades. It does not exist anywhere else. Oh, I don't know about that. I'd like to see the text, but I don't know about that. I feel like not every country does it. The other one is the people who follow it up with, why was she born so beautiful?

Why was she born at all? And the rest. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, text us on 9696, the country you're from, and do they do the hip hip hoorays after the birthday? Can contribute to this very in-depth investigation into hip hip hoorays. I will be filing a report, and that's going to go nowhere.

Pretty much just for my own fun. Bree and Clint. And that's us, guys.
