The ZM Podcast Network. G'day everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show. I've just checked the news, there's no update on the submarine. Isn't the world just absolutely, like, what's the word? Captivated. Captivated by the submarine at the moment? I honestly, it's giving me so much anxiety because I just can't stop thinking about it and thinking

about those poor people. Yeah. The hardest part I think too would be not to open the show with some morbid stuff but all the How dark are you going to go here? Well I just think of all of their family members as well where I'd rather know at least.

Yes, it's the not knowing. It's the not knowing that would be the worst. Well, not the worst, but that would continue to be the worst. Oh, my God. The whole thing. The whole thing is like a Saw movie or like a Final Destination. Just horrible. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm still like, I mean, obviously as time ticks over, it gets less and less likely. Yeah. They've just deployed another robot down to go searching for it as well, an underwater robot. But there's no news. And they reckon even with all of this and the banging,

it would be a miracle if they found them. The banging might not have even been them. No. You know what I mean? There's no way to tell. Anyway, I've got Claudia watching the news feed. If something comes through about the submarine, we will update you as soon as that comes

through. On a brighter note, we will be playing What's the Plot today at half past four. We're playing for $100 cash. If you can beat Bree in our movie Guessing Game, then you can score that $100. Not bad. $100 up for grabs. What else do we have on the show today? Oh, I get to find out my

fourth and final, what are you calling them? The challenges to achieve your citizenship. You've got to do these iconic Kiwi challenges and I've got your last one to reveal to you this afternoon. I said to you off air, I have a bad feeling that I know what this last one is. Brady thinks she's going to be jumping off the Sky Tower.

And Clinton Roberts knows that one of my biggest fears is heights, so that would be... I'd rather do a bungee jump with you again than do that. I feel like I'd rather do the bungee jump off the bridge in Auckland

than jump off the Sky Tower. Yeah, because it's so much higher. Yeah. Okay. Well, 5.30, you'll find out, okay? Like you said earlier, it's the fear of not knowing, isn't it? You guys are going to make me walk up all the stairs of the Sky Tower. And then take the fastest way down. Jeez. Let's do tradie versus lady and get things moving.

If you want to play, we need a tradie and a lady on 0800 dial ZM right now. It's tightening up. There's only five points in this. It was as wide as 10, but there's only five points to the ladies ahead of the tradies at the moment. Not much in it at all. Bree and Clint. It's tradie versus lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

All right, here we are. The tradies are slowly creeping back to the ladies. They're on 50 wins for the year. The ladies on 55. Let's meet our lady first today. She's calling from Tauranga. She's 25 years old and she's on maternity leave with a three-month-old baby.

Next week marks five years of the Bree and Clint show. On air. We made it. We finally got here. That was the goal. The winner's circle. Marks five years of Bree living in New Zealand as well, which coincidentally is when you're eligible for citizenship.

So we're offering you the status of Honorary Kiwi. Bree Thomasel. Honorary Kiwi. I want to get it so bad. I want to earn it. If you complete the four quintessentially Kiwi challenges we have set for you, we'll give it to you. We'll award you honorary Kiwi status at a special presentation ceremony

at the Lula Inn next Friday. There'll be drinks and there'll be guests and there'll be a live broadcast and it'll be really fun and everyone's invited to come down and party with us on Friday afternoon next week. My God, that sounds so fun. If you complete the four challenges, which so far are perform the national anthem at Eden Park. That's right.

Climb the Sky Tower up the stairs. Yes. Defend a goal against a football fern. It's going to take a long time and the fourth challenge which I have in my hand right now I'm going to hand it to you, I don't want you to open it yet we've had a few conversations about what this might be today you've had a few guesses

my brain's been going wild and I've been getting quite anxious because I feel like I kind of know what it's going to be you said you absolutely do not, under any circumstances, want to jump off the Sky Tower. I've lived here for five years and working in radio, I've managed to avoid that because it is my worst nightmare. And I understand that.

I can tell you now you won't be jumping off the Sky Tower. Oh, God. You also said this earlier. I would rather do a bungee jump with you again than do that. I feel like I'd rather do the bungee jump off the bridge in Auckland. Than jump off the Sky Tower. Yeah, because it's so much higher. Yeah.

Weirdly specific. Could you open that envelope for us, please? It's not. Nah, you're joking because then you're going to lead me in, you think it's that, and then it's not going to be that. I know it's not going to be. Bungee jump off the harbour bridge! And if you need me to do it with you again, I will do it with you again, okay? I did the AJ Hackett with you in Queenstown.

I'll do it with you in Auckland if you need me to. I want you to do it with me. Okay, I'll do it. Yes. I'll do it. Because I can't do it alone. When you said that, when you said that earlier, this has been planned out for weeks.

When you said, I would rather do a bungee jump off the Harbour Bridge, Claudia and I just looked at each other like, ugh. You know what? I will stand by what I said. I would rather bungee jump off the Harbour. Oh, did I? Well, you and I have been up there, haven't we?

Yeah, we have. When we took listeners up there to bungee. That's right. Yeah, we did. So I've seen, oh, it's, oh, the Sky Tower looks scarier. I think I'd rather bungee and then you have to do it with me. Yeah, we did. So I've seen, oh, it's, oh, the Sky Tower looks scarier. I think I'd rather bungee and then you have to do it with me. Yeah, we'll do that. The quintessentially Kiwi activities,

the bungee jump was invented in New Zealand by AJ Hackett. So there you go. That's a massive claim to fame. I've already done the bungee. My eyeballs nearly exploded. You haven't done the Harbour Bridge though. That's the bungee. My eyeballs nearly exploded. You haven't done the Harbour Bridge, though. That's the other bit. Oh, God.

Next week is going to be so great, but also suck in some ways. Tomorrow afternoon, we'll reveal to you what the first challenge is, what you'll be doing on Monday. Out of those four, which one comes up on Monday? So you can plan ahead. When are you doing that tomorrow? Tomorrow, we'll tell you what happens on Monday. And then I'll have the weekend to prepare.

Yeah. Okay. Like if it's perform the anthem, learn the words. If it's do the bungee jump, buy fresh undies to put in your bag. I'll bring my little erazapam. Brie and Clint. Hey, I read this interesting story from a woman who was talking about this relationship she'd been in for years

and years. And it was something that happened at a wedding that finally broke the back of the relationship. It was the straw that broke the back of the relationship. Okay. She said it'd been quite a rocky road in their relationship, but she could never bite the bullet and make the decision that they both needed to go their separate ways. Yeah. And it wasn't until she went to, it was one of her really good friends' weddings,

and her boyfriend was actually the best man in the wedding. At one of her best friend's weddings? Yeah, it was one of her, both of their friends. Oh, okay. Obviously, yeah, both of their friends, but her boyfriend was the best man at the wedding. And she said that when he got up and made the best man's speech, it was the straw that broke the relationships back. Why?

What did he do? Apparently, he got up and he made jokes about hers and like about their relationship and like it was just stuff that he said where she kind of had this realization that, oh, this is definitely. It was the tipping point. Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting. I reckon weddings put relationships in perspective quite

often because especially if they're in the bridal party and you're sitting there in the crowd and you're looking at them, if you can't see yourself having a day like that with that person and you've been in a relationship for a long time together, if they're in like full wedding garb

and you're in a wedding situation and you look at it objectively and you don't see him or her standing next to you on a day like that for you. And I don't know. I don't know. I don't believe that everybody would look at it like that. But I think sometimes it would pull things into quite sharp focus and you'd go, what am I doing? I feel like it definitely causes like some conversations to happen. Like if you go to a wedding with your partner.

Especially if you guys are having issues and one of you gets really steamed at the wedding. It can be an emotional place, a wedding reception, can't it? Yeah, it can. Especially if you're a little bit older and you've been together for a while and you're starting to have those things like, am I wasting my life? Am I wasting my you? I feel like a lot of people come to that point. Not everyone, but a lot of people come to that point in their life

where if they've been dating someone to a certain point and if they're a certain age, it's either, is this my forever relationship or do I bite the bullet and make a decision now? Cut my losses and start afresh. You know, it's a hard place to be in too. Totally. And it can be the smallest thing, like you said, that triggers that

because it's everything before that. It's not the actual. No. It can be the tiniest thing that. She's not bringing up with him because of the speech that he gave. No, it's all the stuff that's happened before. That was just the final straw. That was just the final straw. That was just the final straw.

Yeah. And it can be, you're right, it can be so tiny, but it can just be like a switch just clicks. They might have just smashed a plate. They might have stacked the dishwasher wrong, but it was everything leading up to that point that was the problem. Yes. And then they just did something, something small,

and you were like, you know what? I'm so over this. You flipped the switch on out. I thought we could ask people, because I'm quite interested, on 0800DIALZM, what was the straw that broke the relationships back? The tiny thing. Yeah, it could be super tiny and so minuscule. Or it could be a bit bigger. But not a really big thing.

Not like he cheated on me. Yeah, I mean, that's obviously the straw that broke. You want the final thing, right? Yeah, the smaller things where it's just kind of like, okay, I've had enough. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

Brian Clint. What was the straw that broke the relationships back? And it could be the smallest thing ever. Like this person texted through and they said. These are so good. This is so funny. and it could be the smallest thing ever. Like this person texted through and they said, this is so funny. It was when he used the word noxious when he meant to say obnoxious, made me realise I didn't want to have these conversations

for a lifetime. We're talking about the thing that happens at the end. Everything has been building up to this point. You'd known in your gut for ages that something's probably not right. So this tiny little thing is never enough to break up with someone over, but it's the thing that makes you go, man, we've got to break up.

I've snapped. That's it. Let's talk to Amy who's called up. Kia ora, Amy. Hi, Amy. Hi, how you doing? Good, thanks. What was the straw, Amy? What was the straw that broke the relationships back? Oh, so we'd been together 18 years. Oh, wow. Okay.

Things hadn't been going that well for a while. Married? Were you married? Married for 14, yeah. Wow. And so I was in my busy season at work, like working lots of hours. He had days off.

And first day off, he was like, oh, so what are we having for dinner? And I was like, oh, I don't know, surely you can sort something. And then next night, day off, he's like, oh, are you coming home from work? I'm like, yeah, I'm not too far away. And he's like, oh, so what are you bringing home for dinner?

He's a chef. He's a chef? He's a chef. No. He's a chef. Oh, that's even worse, Amy It's not that hard So I picked him up a pie on the way home

Yeah Walked in the door Threw the pie at him and said You know what, I'm done Wow Amy, so that was it You're like, I've had this realisation And was it the right decision?

It was totally the right decision Yeah, good on you, Amy Well, it's tough to do Yeah, good on you, Amy It is really hard to make those big. Finally put herself first where she was like, nah, enough, I need to read this text. This text is so good,

especially because I grew up in the country on a farm. Yep. So I kind of get this one. They said, I dated a guy for a couple of years. He was a farmer. We lived in a beautiful new home on the farm. I worked in town driving 50 minutes each way. One day I got home and his first words to me

when I walked in the door were, did you notice I shifted the heifers? Not a hey, how was your day? Just like that, I packed up and left. Really? Oh, come on. We're talking about how it's the straw. Oh, right. Okay, yeah. We don't know everything else. Yeah, yeah.

True, true. So imagine, you haven't seen your partner. I was just going, oh, poor bloke. I forgot about the fact that this is the last thing. So imagine. No, no, I know, I know, I know. You come home tonight. I was like, oh, poor bloke just said the wrong thing. You come home tonight after work and your wife Lucy goes, she looks at you and goes, can you take out the bins? Yeah, that's not nice.

Not ideal, eh? Okay. Not ideal. Okay, I get it. Arik's here. Hi, Arik. Hi, Arik. Hey, guys. How's it going? Good, thanks. Tell us, mate, what was the straw that broke the relationships back? Well, so basically it's the typical sort of thing. We'd been dating for about two and a half

years. We were living together and she started hanging out with her guy friend and, you know, it's that typical thing, you know, I don't worry about him and a half years. We were living together and she started hanging out with her boyfriend and it's that typical thing, I don't worry about him, babe. And then she basically said to me, about two weeks before we actually broke up, she basically said, I think we should start seeing other people. And I was like, okay. And then she started bringing him into the house. She wanted an open relationship. Yeah, pretty much. Okay, and then she started bringing him into the house. Wait. She wanted an open relationship.

Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that's quite a big straw if you're not into that type of thing. That's a big thing. That's a big thing. That's a massive thing. Thanks, Ari. My laptop's gone dead. Read the polar fleece pants one. Where was that?

Someone said, after two years of dating, he wore polar fleece pants to the supermarket. That was the straw that broke the relationship for me. Someone else said, my partner kissed me in my sleep. I don't sleep very well, so I thought it was selfish. That was it. Someone else said, this one's pretty bad. They said, my final straw was he wanted to spend time with his mates on my birthday. That was you, wasn't it, Tegan?

That was your straw. Yes, that was, unfortunately. How did he frame that, Tegan? Well, so I was like, oh, we're going out for dinner, blah, blah, blah. And he'd already lost his ID, so we had to change our dinner reservation to a restaurant that I worked at because, you know, that way he could get drinks at it instead of having to have his ID.

Oh, no. On your birthday? On my birthday. And then we, like, got home and he's like, oh, you know, like, what are you doing tonight? Because I was going to hang out with the boys. On your birthday? Yeah.

Like, I'm sorry. Did you break up then and there? Or did you let him go out and have his night and then break up the next day? I kind of gave him two weeks because I kind of felt bad to be like, you know, break up with him on my birthday. You felt bad to break up with him on your birthday? You're too nice. Sorry, you're too nice to him. Yeah, I was going to say, Tegan, you should have broken up with him on my birthday. You felt bad to break up with him on your birthday. You're too nice. Sorry, you're too nice, Tegan. Yeah, I was going to say, Tegan,

you should have broken up with him right there and then instead of him having his night. Yeah. This one's an interesting one. They said, my partner said to a homeless person, sorry, I only have $100. I can see, I get it.

I can see why that it I can see why that I get it too Yeah That one's quite complex It is There's so many things That go into that Yeah

Because what are you doing Are you bragging To the homeless person Like you don't have to say that You don't have to say that You know Yeah And like why would you say that

That was the straw I get it I have to break up With you for what you said And he's like I'll go and give the homeless person the $100. What are you talking about? I'll give him the $100. It's not that.

Bree and Clint. Okay, according to TikTok, there are seven types of friends that you need in your life. Have you seen this? No, I haven't seen it. Seven types of friends. But I kind of get where you're going. Like what they're talking about. Different types of friends. Are they talking about like you need a friend that you go out and you party with?

Kind of, yeah. And then you need a friend that gives good advice. Yeah. That type of thing? The theory itself has had over 10 million views on TikTok. And some people are critical of it. They say it's just another example of social media setting up the ideal standard that we're supposed to aspire to. And just another way that you'll fall short and go, well, I don't have seven friends.

Does that make me a loser? You know? Oh, come on, guys. It's not that serious. No, it's not. So let's give it a go. It's a bit of fun. And no, I don't believe I've got seven friends, but that's fine.

But my question is, can one friend cover multiple positions? I think so. Can you have a utility friend? It means they're like, I think that. Can you have a utility friend? It means they're like, I think that's where you rate your friends. Like, you know, if you have your best friend, a best friend does multiple things.

Yeah, they do. You know? Let's go through the list of seven and you tell me if you, you don't have to tell me who it is. Okay. But you just say if you've got a friend that fits that category.

All right. So according to TikTok, these are the seven friends that you need in your life. Number one, a friend that you've had since you were little. Yes, got one. I've got one of those too.

Yep. Yep. A friend that could make you laugh in any situation. Yes, got one. Me too. You too? Me too. I had to check.

I was like, yeah, I do, yeah. Is it a... Yeah, yeah. It's me? Yeah. Hi. Thought so. A friend that you can go on forever without talking to,

but nothing changes. I've got so many of these. You would from moving around so much, right? You know who I spoke to last week and we literally said this to each other? Ex-producer of the show, Ellie Harwood. Oh, okay. Hers and my friendship is like that.

You don't have to stay in contact. We won't speak for like three months and then when we talk to each other it's like nothing. Nothing changes. No time has passed. Great, you've got one.

Have you got a friend that you can tell anything to? Yeah. Yeah? I think so. Do you? My mum. Oh, cute.

Yeah, my mum's like my best friend. Yeah? Yeah. Would she help you bury her body? She would. I reckon she would. I mean, I don't know if she'd been. I reckon she would too.

She'd hold it over you, but I reckon she would. I can see her dragging the corpse going, you've done it this time, Brianna. This is it. I'm drawing the line here. You're so lucky I don't tell your father. My mum has kept secrets from my dad before For me

Has she? Like stuff I've told her and I said don't tell dad Yeah Like that's how I know my mum and I Tell me one of them I can't tell you He doesn't listen to the show If it's a secret I don't want my dad knowing

Yeah say it on ZM As if I'm going to say it on the radio Have you got a friend that's like This is the friends Seven friends you need Rips number five Have you got a friend that's like, this is the Seven Friends Unibroops number five. Have you got a friend that's like a sister? Friend that's like, yes. Yeah. Yeah, Cam Mansell.

Ah. Yeah. Have you got a friend that you can't imagine not being friends with? That's a weird one. A friend you can't imagine not being friends with. Is that like a friend you can't live without? I guess. Do you have one? All of my friends. Like I can't imagine not being friends with any of that like a friend you can't live without? I guess. Do you have one? All of my friends.

Like I can't imagine not being friends with any of my friends. Yeah, that means like they're your good friends. Yeah, okay. Imagine if you're like, oh, there is that. That one's expendable. You're like, you think about it and you're like, oh, I mean. That one's interchangeable. I mean, Lawrence, I could take or leave Lawrence.

Lawrence doesn't really bring much. I heard someone describe someone the other day as a non-value ad, a person, and I was like, you can't say that about a person. Okay, and there's one more friend that you need, a friend that knows all about your relationship problems even though they don't want to hear about it. Oh, yeah. The one that you bitch and moan about your partner to.

Yeah. You got one of those friends? Yeah, totally. Do you? Yeah. Well. Oh, he's shot himself in the foot there. I don't bitch and moan about my relationship.

Far out. Mate, we all bitch and moan about my relationship. Mate, we all bitch and moan about our relationships at some point. If my wife's listening, she's like, now I need to bury her body. Interesting. The world is Taylor Swift mad at the moment. Well, New Zealand and Australia are at least. Me included.

The Airers Tour hits Aussie in February, right? That's right. February. Brie is planning on being there, as is producer Claudia and producer Ella, and maybe you listening to this as well. Oh, there was a dark cloud come over ZM today when we realised that some radio stations are sending their DJs

to the Taylor Swift concert. Yeah. Yep. That was a dark realisation. When Brie realised that specifically she went, where's Ross? That's our boss, Ross boss. Where's Ross? Look, I'll

say this about myself I'm not a jealous person But I tell you what When you told me I got so jealous Like it's not often I get real jealous And I felt real deep jealousy Maybe Ross is going to surprise you

With Taylor Swift tickets Maybe that's coming Maybe that's in the pipeline You reckon it's coming? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because what do they get? They get flights, accommodation, tickets to see the show. I mean, oh.

Look, if you're wanting to get to the Taylor Swift concert and you don't back your ability to win our trip to Melbourne that we're giving away and you want to pay your way there. You want it to be a sure thing. You want it to be a sure thing. Well, as sure as it can be, because you still have to enter the bloody ticket lottery, don't you?

Yeah, that's the hardest part. You've got to figure out, first of all, if you can afford to be a sure thing. Well, as sure as it can be, because you still have to enter the bloody ticket lottery, don't you? Yeah, that's the hardest part. You've got to figure out, first of all, if you can afford to go to the show. So what I've done is a breakdown of costs and some estimates on what it might cost to be at the Taylor Swift show. Okay. In Sydney or Melbourne, they're relatively similar.

Much of a muchness. They're much of a muchness. So your first big cost you're going to face is the flights. Yes. Flights for that weekend. They're on sale at the moment. They actually haven't blown out yet.

Yeah. Which is incredible. I would expect the airlines to put the prices up straight away. They'd be like, uh-oh, here come the Swifties.

The airlines aren't on the pulse, obviously. Please, if you're listening and if you're from the airline, don't put them up now that you're listening to this. I was going to say, it sounds like you're challenging them.

Yeah. From the main centres, we're talking Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, they range from about $530 to $850 return. That's a big range. Yeah. Yeah, but it depends on who you fly with and what time you fly. So let's go right in the middle and say say let's budget $690 for flights. Okay.

You're going to get a flight. At the moment, you're going to get a flight for that price. At the moment. Then you've got to have somewhere to stay. So again, where do you start with accommodation? You can stay in a dorm room in Melbourne for $77 a night. A dorm room? Yeah, in like a hostel.

Okay. Or you could stay at the Sofitel for $600 a night. There's like a huge disparity, right? Yeah, let's just go somewhere in the middle. Somewhere in the middle. Let's budget $300 a night for our accommodation. Yeah. You're going to need two nights accommodation

because you can't arrive on the day of the show. You'd be too stressful. So you need two nights accommodation. But you're probably going to split that accommodation with somebody. With someone else, yeah. So let's just say $300. You pay for one night, they pay for the other night. Yeah. So add $300 nights of accommodation. But you're probably going to split that accommodation with somebody. With someone else, yeah. Probably going to stay with someone. So let's just say $300. You pay for one night, they pay for the other night.

Yep. So add $300 to the bill. Yep. And then your concert tickets. This ranges as well. There is a premium ticket to Taylor Swift that you can buy. It's called, it's been a long time coming package. How much is that?

Costs $1,249.90. What do you get? In New Zealand dollars it's $1,376. Do you get a lock of the hair? Close. You get an A-reserved floor ticket. You get a special set of four Taylor Swift prints. Oh, so

you get some merch? Yeah. Then you get exclusive merchandise on top of that like a tote bag. I don't want a tote bag. I want a hoodie, not a tote bag. You get a swift pin that you can wear. Okay. You get a sticker and a postcard set and a souvenir concert ticket

and a special VIP tour laminate and matching lanyard. Doesn't sound worth it to me. That's all fluff. Yeah. That stuff's all fluff. That is all fluff. me. How much is just... That's all fluff. Yeah. That stuff's all fluff. That is all fluff. You get a good ticket, but that's all fluff. What is the A Reserve ticket?

Like, if you're a big Taylor Swift fan and you are travelling all the way there and you're like, I want to get the A Reserve, the best tickets... $379. Okay. $379. Which, I mean, it's not cheap. Works out to about $300 an hour. Oh, and $100 an hour for the show.

Yeah, it is a long show. But you can get cheap tickets. The tickets start at $79. Which is affordable. They'll go first, but you can get those. Yeah, that's totally affordable. So again, let's say we've got $379 at one end, $79 at the other end. Let's say $250.

See you. I'm just kidding. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Did you see a Kiwi company has made the news around the world today? Really? Yeah, it's exciting times. Speaking of times, Time Magazine released their top 100 list of the most influential companies of 2023.

And there's a Kiwi company on there. And there's a Kiwi company on there. Rocket Lab. Surely Rocket Lab. Oh, I mean, it was up there. It was up there. No, not Rocket Lab. Not Rocket Lab.

What else is big? Allbirds? Allbirds? The shoe company? Oh, it could have been on there maybe a couple of years ago when it first started. I feel like they put companies that, I mean, I don't know actually, but I've kind of pulled some out of the list.

But the company is run by a guy named Andrew Barnes and we have talked about this company before because they're the ones who are championing the four-day work week. Oh. Yeah. What New Zealand company does a four-day work week. Oh. Yeah. What New Zealand company does a four-day work week? Well, I mean, I thought I'd grabbed the name of it, but now I'm confused.

Anyway, this company for the last couple of years, I think it only started in like 2021, and they have been like at the forefront of being like, we've got to do four-day work weeks. If you find the name of the company, I'll tell you why I think Allbirds should be on there. Okay. Because I bought a pair of their Merino undies last month.

Oh, my God. I think it's called Four Day Week Global. Oh. I think that's what it's called. That's the name of the company. Yeah. Well, that's the whole premise of the company, I think. Anyway, back to my undies.

They are the best undies I've ever worn. Have you ever worn Merino undies? No, I can't say I have. Oh, back to my undies. They are the best undies I've ever worn. Have you ever worn Merino undies? No, I can't say I have. Oh my god, they'll change your life. They will change your life. They're sweat-wicking if you need that in your underpants. They are breathable. Oh my god, and they're so soft. I thought I'd sweat my balls off

in Merino undies, but they're quite the opposite, Brie. Quite the opposite. Hashtag not paid? Hashtag not paid. Hashtag not sponsored. I wish it was. They're so expensive. Are they? How much? How much for a pair of undies? I think I paid 50 bucks for a pair of boxes.

Yeah, so I've only got one. And the day that they're fresh out of the wash, I'm like, today's going to be a good day. That's VIP undie day. Yeah, bloody eyes. Have you got one pair? Yeah. I don't...

It's 50 bucks a pair. I don't sway from my undies. No, neither do I, except for this one, which I got recommended. Yeah, right. Have I got one pair? Yeah. They're 50 bucks a pair. I don't sway from my undies. No, neither do I except for this one, which I got recommended. Yeah, right. Have I got the one? No, I don't. Do they make female? Yeah.

Female undies? I think they make a Merino G-Banger, actually. Not keen on the G-Banger. If I'm wearing Merino, I'm wearing for comfort, and G-Banger's not for me. I thought we could go through some of the other companies that made the list. Yeah list because it's quite interesting. There's a lot of companies in artificial intelligence

and sustainability. Like a lot of the companies on the list are in those areas. And then we move on to there's other different areas that they kind of put different entries from. So one of them is like technology companies. So ones that made the list, this is the top 100 most influential companies of 2021, according to Time magazine. Samsung made the list this year.

Google, DeepMind. Right. Microsoft, Apple, IBM. Microsoft. Yep. All made it onto the list for 2023. I think they own ChatGPT. Probably. Yeah.

Yeah, so that's why they're probably on the list. Several companies from the entertainment industry are on the list. Can you take a guess? Disney. Disney on the list. Netflix. Could have been. I on the list. Netflix. Could have been. I don't know.

But TikTok, Live Nation Entertainment are on the list. And then we move into stuff like the fashion and retail industry. And this is what everyone's talking about because Kim Kardashian is on the cover because her company Skims has made the list. Skims? Skims has made the list. Skims? Skims is humongous. It's one of the 100 most influential companies in the world. It's so big, like it is doing crazy numbers

and that's probably why it's on the list. Do they do a Merino G-string? Because I've just found the Allbirds one. It's $29 if you're interested. $29? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, as I said, I'm not keen on the G-Banger.

Not keen. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go. Your birthday bangers on the air with us. The number one songs on your 16th birthdays. And we're going to do three and pick one to play in full.

I really enjoyed that. I'd love to do another year. I'd love to go to Hottest Checks of that time as well. Hottest Checks of... I'll see if I can find it. I mean, I might have the magazine somewhere. Bree and Clint. A restaurant in Perth has banned vegans from the restaurant.

Yeah, this story is going viral. Yeah, they've said no more. His name is John Mountain. He's the head chef and owner of Fire Restaurant. And they had a vegan customer who requested a vegan meal. Okay. Ahead of time. Right.

So quite considerate. That's considerate. They rang up and they said, hey, I'm coming in for dinner with my friends. I'm vegan. Could you cater to me? And they said, yeah, we'll serve you. They believe that instead

of getting a vegan meal, they were served a bowl of vegetables. So, I reckon they probably forgot. Yeah, good point. You know, they probably forgot and then they panicked and they were like, oh, just put some vegetables in a bowl.

She said, my only option was the vegetable dish. It was okay, but it wasn't that filling. And I was shocked when I was charged $32 for a bowl of vegetables. Wow. Yeah, that's a bit steep. She said, the lack of plant-based meals showed the chef's shortcomings. Oh, shots fired. Yeah.

Shots fired. And she said, if you don't get with the times, don't hold out faith that your restaurant will be one of the ones that does. Not ideal. The head chef replied with a social media post that just read,

Oh no. Sadly, all vegans are now banned from FIRE for mental health reasons. That's a bit rough, mate. Come on now. She got angry, posted a bad review. He banned all vegans. No more.

I think he's overreacted. He admitted that he didn't cater to the vegan well enough. Okay, so he's admitted fault. Yeah, but he said he's not willing to put up with any criticism. That's not how the real world works, is it? I'd like to cross live to our vegan correspondent, Ella, in the situation who's shaking her head. What? I just want input.

Why are you shaking your head? I'm shaking my head at that stupid chef. Ah, okay. I thought you thought we were going to make fun of you for being vegan. I don't care about that anymore. We wouldn't do that. No, never. You're very kind to me. Not while you were standing anyway.

You're too liable to faint. Okay, number one. Leave her alone. Come on. Two more. Two more? That's very generous of you. I've got thick skin now. Do you though? Yep. Because I think you're lacking in vitamins. Okay, you've got thick skin now. Do you though? Yep. Because I think you're lacking in vitamins. Okay, you've got one more now.

Careful. You've got one left. Yeah, I'll say that. When you go to a restaurant, do you look at the menu before you go to see if there's something that you can eat as a vegan? Yeah, I used to never do that. And then I was like, oh, actually, then it saves me time when I'm at the restaurant. Yeah, figuring it out. Figuring out I can just chat then.

So yeah, I do. We can't go to a restaurant tomorrow because you said there's no vegan options there. We're not going there. Well, I'd like to eat my lunch if that's okay. Yeah, but they've got chips. No, they don't. Do they not even have chips? No, anyway.

Do most restaurants as a vegan, do most restaurants have a vegan option now? Is it getting better? Yeah, I would say. In Auckland City, I'm sure there's not a lot of options. I think they do. Rurally, but. Yeah, no, I would say even vegetarian. Get with the times.

You know, people are eating whatever they want to eat, and I think it's silly if a restaurant doesn't even cater to, like, some vegetarians. I think it's a pretty easy one. If you think it's a hassle and all this, get one great vegan meal at least, and then you've covered all your bases. Yeah, like a tofu stir fry. Exactly. There's so many good dishes.

You've covered your bases. Everyone's happy. A curry, something. You have one really ripping vegan meal, and you're good to go. Well,, you know, something. You have one really ripping vegan meal and you're good to go. Well, there you go, Ella. Don't plan to visit Fyre in Perth anytime soon. Cancel your trip. And also you can't.

I don't want to. That ship needs to expand his horizons. And you're not allowed to. Can I ask, do they ask people on arrival, are you vegan? Can we see your ID, please? Are you a vegan bouncer? Yeah. Bree and Clint. Are you vegan? Can we see your ID, please? That's not a vegan bouncer. Yeah. The singer Kesha is in the news as she's talked about having her eggs frozen

and the process that nearly killed her. She had major complications. She's okay now, but she said she wanted to be open and talk about it because, you know, it's not spoken about enough. Nah. You know, and I think it's really brave of her because she's had quite a hard road in the last 10 years or so. She's been through a lot of her own struggles.

Totally. But I think it's a super important conversation. And as a woman in my 30s, I know what this pressure feels like. I know how daunting it can be for women knowing that our fertility clock is ticking. And it's a conversation where it is an option for people. Does it always work? What are the costs? There's so many questions that go into something like this. And I'm so glad that we have a platform where we can talk about it. We've got

some people who want to talk to us about it this afternoon. First though, a text message from someone that said my nine-year-old daughter was very concerned with why people were putting eggs in the freezer and thought that Kesha landed in hospital because she'd put eggs in the freezer and that exploded on her. Yeah. Not those type eggs. That's very

cute. Very cute though. That's very cute. This first caller wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, not those type eggs. That's very cute. Very cute, though. That's very cute. This first caller wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi. How are you going? Yeah, good.

And yourself? Yeah, not too bad, Anonymous. I'm very interested to hear about your journey. So you've had your eggs frozen. You've been through that process. Yeah, absolutely. So fertility challenges is what led me to freezing my eggs. Right. At what age, if you don't mind me asking? Yeah, absolutely. So fertility challenges is what led me to freezing my eggs. Right. At what age, if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, absolutely. So I was 30, I think, when I entered into it. So it was picked up earlier on. And basically, my husband and I, we ended up doing an egg collection and then freezing the embryos. Yes. So, Bree, I totally relate when you say, you know, first you've got to go through the process to get the eggs and harvest the eggs. Yeah. And that's a whole lot of hormones and a whole lot of monitoring in the lead up to that. And then once you do collect the eggs, you know, you might get one, you might get none, and then they have to be a specific grade in order to be eligible for freezing. Oh, my God.

So you go through the egg collection process, and then obviously they get, whether it be donor sperm or your partner's sperm, and you go into the embryo stage. And some of the eggs will fertilize, sometimes no eggs fertilize. And then once the eggs fertilize, if they do, then you go through to they've got to survive X amount of time before they can then be frozen. Oh, my God.

So, you know, you talk about people going through these journeys. Yeah. And you can be going for months and months and months. Have you guys been able to have a child through the process yet? We do. Yeah. Oh, congratulations. So, yeah, we've finished our fertility journey.

And I think that's, like, very easy to talk about it. But also, as an advocate and volunteer with Fertility New Zealand, I'm so passionate about talking about it because not enough people do. And I think it's one in four people in New Zealand experience fertility challenges. It's so much more common than what people think, isn't it, Anonymous? Like, it's something that so many people go through, but we don't talk about it. We feel like ashamed.

Anonymous, can I ask you, what was it like for you starting that journey where you knew you had those problems and how daunting was it for you when you first started? I think it's a bit of a reality check when you're entering into it because you know that actually you might not get the outcome that you're going for.

Yeah. And the pressure that sits on you, especially as a woman, because it's you that needs to produce those eggs and it's you that then needs to carry the baby or have that embryo implant into you successfully. You carry a lot of that weight on your shoulders. Yeah. Okay.

Well, thank you, Anonymous. That's very brave of you to be so honest with us. We appreciate it. Wendy's called up as well. Hi, Wendy. G'day, Wendy. Hello. Hi, how's it going?

Good, thanks. Wendy, you went through the process of freezing your eggs. Yeah. So, hubby and I got married when I was 29 and a half, and I thought, right, I'm going to crack on and start making some babies. Six years later, I did make a baby, but went through three cycles of IVF, you know, big, big, complete pain in the bum

to go through that process. And then had baby number one, and a year and a half later had baby number two, and I had some leftover embryos. So they were frozen for many years. We're like, well, what are we supposed to do with these? How many years, can I ask Wendy, how many years were they frozen for? Well, they're in the freezer for up to 10. So ours were about

10 years old and like, okay, we have to make a decision. And then we heard about being able to opt out embryos. So we looked at that and... Did you say donate, Wendy? Is that what you said? Yeah, donate the embryos. So we looked at that and... Did you say donate, Wendy? Is that what you said? Yeah, donate the embryo. Yeah. It's kind of like an adoption process. Yeah. And that's what you guys did? Yeah, we connected with another couple who also spent about five years trying to get pregnant and they adopted our embryos and... That's amazing. So our children have got a full-blooded brother. Oh, my gosh.

They're all mates and they hang out. You're a very special type of people, Wendy. I know it's not an easy, I can imagine, but that's so amazing to give that unbelievable gift to another family. That's incredible. Yeah, the whole thing is incredible. The whole process is incredible, and I'm sure it's incredibly sad a lot of the time and hard and expensive.

We didn't even go into how much this stuff costs. I'm pretty sure in New Zealand, and just from research I've done, it is a very lengthy process. It's one of the most expensive countries to go through this process as well. So if you are listening and you are on that journey or if you're struggling like that, you're not alone. And yeah, it's a hard one. It's a real hard one. That's the end of the show, everybody. Thanks for joining us on a day where we found out

that Bree's going to bungee off the Harbour Bridge next week to earn honorary citizenship. I'm trying to, like, categorise which one I least would like to do. So sing the anthem at Eden Park, defend a goal against a football fern, climb the Sky Tower, bungee off the Harbour Bridge. I want to know from you guys, which one do you think, if I could take one out of the mix, which I'm not going to,

but if I could. Sky Tower. Singing. Singing? Yeah. Nah. I wouldn't bungee. I'm saying me.

What do you think Bree would take out? Bungee. Singing. Yeah, right. Okay. Terrifying. Really? It's the only one you actually look scared for. The other ones you were like, right, okay. Terrifying. Really? It's the only one you actually look scared for.

The other ones you were like, oh, but that one when you were like... Yeah, I think it's... Because I don't know the details of it, you know? I am shitting my pants about that one. Tomorrow you'll find out which one you're doing first of those four. Tomorrow you'll find out what activity you do on Monday. And I can plan and build myself up mentally.

I'm here for it. It's going to take a lot for me to quit. I'm not going to quit. I want the party at Lula Red on Friday. Also because we do not do things by Harbs on this show tomorrow in Fridayoke we'll be singing an Amy Winehouse song. The best Amy Winehouse

song. By far. It's such a good song. Amy Winehouse, one of best Amy Winehouse song. By far. It's such a good song. Amy Winehouse, one of the greatest divas of the last century. This is such a good song. And I reckon one of the best karaoke songs. So join us tomorrow on The Brian Clint Show. We'll see you then. Bye.
