Good? Good.
Hello everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint Podcast.
Where I've got a question.
We...
Yes, it is quite common and you shouldn't worry about it.
Happens to everyone, Clint.
What's the friends line?
No, it's not that common.
No, it doesn't happen to every guy.
And yes, it is a big deal.
I love that.
Shit, how did I have that stored in my brain?
Maybe you found it relatable.
Oh.
Just kidding.
I'm joking.
Sorry, that was odd.
That was good.
Thank you.
I'm only hurt because it's true.
No, I've got a question for you because, look,
we are rapidly running out of space in our house at the moment.
Two kids, two cats, two people.
I mean, the cats don't take up that much room,
but I like to use them to justify it.
All of your baggage.
One bathroom in the house.
And two girls, all my baggage.
That was good from you. Your baggage is sitting out here in the house. Yeah. And two girls, all my baggage. Yeah. There's my...
No, that was good from you.
Your baggage is sitting out here in the producer's booth.
Yeah, Anastasia comes over to visit a bit.
Oh, I do actually.
So my question is for you,
growing up, how many people lived in your house
and how many bathrooms did you have?
We grew up in a one bathroom house.
Yes.
And there was five of us.
Five to one.
Five, a dog, three cats. No. And there was five of us. Five to one. Five, a dog.
No, no, no, sorry.
Three cats.
No, they don't use the bathroom.
You included the cats in yours.
Well, to be fair, my cat actually drinks from the bath, so you can include them.
Yeah, well.
You had five, one bathroom.
What was the girl-boy ratio?
Three girls, two boys?
Three girls, two boys.
Anastasia?
Five people, three girls, two bathrooms.
Even that was hard hard That was hard?
Yeah
Did you have kids bathroom, adults bathroom?
Yeah, kids bathroom, adults bathroom
You're so inspirational
Nah, we
Nah, I know
Nah, we were lucky that we only had one sister
That was self-absorbed and vain
She would look at that
But me and the other one Don't talk about yourself like that That will admit that. But me and the other one...
Don't talk about yourself like that.
That's not nice.
No, me and the other one didn't give a shit.
We would only use that for the shower.
Okay.
Sam, how many people, how many bathrooms?
Six people, two bathrooms,
but one of those was my parents' ensuite in their bedroom.
So that was theirs?
Yeah, that was theirs.
So four kids.
And then three girls and I'm the only guy. Oh, that sucks for And then Three girls And I'm the only guy
Oh that sucks for you
Three girls
You're the only guy
In that other bathroom
There's not much
In the other cupboard for you
Do you have a bucket
In your room
That you just waited
I grew up
You've got a hole
In the backyard
I grew up
In a six person
One bathroom house
Yeah
And I don't know
How we did it
Talking about it now
So I'm over here
Complaining
Because we've got
Four people
One bathroom And two of them Oh life's so complaining because we've got four people, one bathroom.
I'm like, oh, life's so hard.
We have one bathroom.
Two of them are like young kids.
No, but I'm planning ahead.
I'm planning ahead.
I know, but imagine if they were teenagers.
Then I'd be like, oh, okay.
The problem with babies is they become teenagers.
Yeah, no, but right now is what I'm saying.
And I already look at the bathroom because my wife is a woman.
Is she?
Yeah, I checked
God, you have fooled me all these years
I checked
The amount of product that she has
If I have to multiply this by three
Because if they're anything like their mother, which they will be
I don't want to be
Clint, I've got two words for you
Storage
Skincare routine.
So your girls are going to be growing up in the generation where they'll be on six steps,
seven steps, eight steps skincare routine.
Can I just say.
Do you know how long that takes and how much space that takes? Can I just say on that topic.
Yeah.
A skincare routine that has seven steps.
Yeah.
Get fucked.
I think that's a light one.
Nah, I told, nah, nah, nah.
I told, because I've been to a few, you know, skin places
and had a facial or had, what have I had?
Microdermabrasion.
Microdermabrasion.
Love Microdermabrasion.
So good.
And I've also had, I highly recommend Dermapen or Dermaroller.
It's like micro-needling.
Anyway, I always say to them, because they make you buy
products and stuff, I was like, don't you
dare sell me some seven
step bullshit, because I'm not
going to use it. Sell me a three step.
A three step I can do.
Maybe four. Four
is the max. What do you think?
Seven step bullshit.
My
girlfriend has a,
you know,
she's skincare,
you know,
enjoys that sort of thing.
Yeah,
but,
and it's only when she's not a mad dash for work,
but at the absolute max,
four steps.
Four steps.
I agree.
That's my max.
Like most times it's probably two or three.
Yeah,
to wash off the stuff of the day.
Yeah,
no,
that's fine. You're 24. You know what you should buy next? Just sunscreen. No, to wash off the stuff of the day. I only just bought face cleanser. Yeah, no, that's fine.
You're 24.
You know what you should buy next?
Anastasia's sunscreen.
No, I've got sunscreen.
That's a shit joke.
Look, we've got to go.
Before we go, your money's no option.
What's the dream amount of bathrooms in your house?
Go.
It depends on how many people.
What's the dream number of bathrooms in your house?
Three.
Three.
Sam?
Two.
Anastasia?
Three.
Three.
Yeah.
Private bathroom. Main bathroom. Main bathroom.astasia? Three. Private bathroom.
Main bathroom.
And a powder room.
Party bathroom.
Party bathroom.
What's a party bathroom?
I don't feel sorry for any of you guys with your extra bathroom to clean.
They call it a powder room for a reason, Steve.
Here's the podcast, everybody.
Three.
I'm joking.
The amount of spit that came out of your mouth, Anastasia.
Good evening, everybody.
Welcome to the show. Happy Monday. It's Bree and Clint.
Hey Clint, shout out to our dentist, which is in Mount Eden, Lumino Dentist.
Lumino the dentist.
Yeah, they listened to ZM, so I know they'd be listening right now.
But shout out to those guys. I had to get some dental work done this morning.
Yes.
And I've rolled on in to the dentist. I had my mask on. And the receptionist, who's lovely there, goes,
Oh, hey, so good to see you again.
I loved that stuff you guys were talking about on the show this morning.
This morning?
And so I instantly knew Clint.
Yeah.
She thinks that I'm Hayley Sproul.
Oh.
Right?
Anyway, I then had this battle in my mind where I don't want to embarrass her because it's not embarrassing for me.
I take it as a compliment.
Yeah.
But I don't want to embarrass her.
So then I'm like, how long do I leave it?
When do I jump in and tell her that I'm not Hayley?
Does she even think that I'm Hayley?
Maybe she thinks I'm Meg from The Edge.
Who knows?
You have to tell her at some stage.
Otherwise, she'll bring up Hayley's dental records.
Yeah, right.
So, awkward.
I actually put off a few fillings that I had to get,
and when Hayley goes in next, she's going to have to get them.
Better than that, where then you said,
oh, just chuck it on my bill.
Chuck it on my tab.
Oh, no, that happened too.
Chuck it on my tab.
It's under H Sproul.
Yeah, just H Sproul. My credit card should be on the list. Hey, no, that happened too. Check it on my tab. It's under H Sproul. Yeah, just H Sproul.
My credit card should be on the list.
Hey, good on you for going to the dentist.
What a grown up.
Oh, I know.
What an adult.
Well done.
You know, I literally had this thought going to the dentist today.
I didn't sign up for this.
What, the dentist?
No, being an adult.
Oh, right.
I have to go to the dentist.
I have to get my car serviced next week.
I have to do my taxes.
Do you remember how badly you wanted to be an adult, though,
when you were a kid?
Didn't we?
Yeah, you're like, oh, I can't wait till I grow up.
It's not all it's cracked up to be.
No, I want someone to make me afternoon tea
so I can watch cartoons again.
Same.
Bree and Clint.

Yeah, we can hear you.

You need this one to stop him.

Lightning and the thunder. I heard Kale.
I couldn't hear anything.
Kale, did you buzz in?
Yeah.
Imagine Dragon.
Well, yeah, that's correct.
Yeah, well done.
And that today is the victory. Oh, you're a bad man. Bree and Clint.
Look, I've got an interesting situation for you.
And it's a story where a woman has spoken out.
She's asking for advice because she doesn't know what to do.
Right.
She's quite distraught.
She's heartbroken.
So her and her boyfriend have been dating.
I think they were dating for quite a long time
and they were living together for a while.
Anyway, she, essentially, they've broken up.
The relationship is broken down
and he bought a dog during their relationship.
Oh, interesting use of words.
He bought a dog.
He bought a dog.
They didn't buy a dog. No, so this is before they He bought a dog. He bought a dog. They didn't buy
a dog. No. So this is before they lived together. But where they were dating. But they were dating.
Okay. Yeah. And he bought a dog whilst they were dating. Okay. And he is now saying,
all right, well, I guess I'm taking the dog. I can see that. What she's saying is that because he's a medical student,
he's never at home, he works 14-hour days,
she took on the role as primary caregiver for the dog.
She did everything for the dog.
She paid for its food.
She fed it.
She walked it.
She looked after it.
She paid for its food?
I'm pretty sure.
Okay.
When they started living together.
Right, yeah, okay.
So she did all of that stuff,
pretty much having all the responsibility of the dog
for the last however long they've been dating.
She now says that she has bonded with the dog.
She loves the dog.
Of course she has.
And that the breakup is devastating
but she's even more gutted that she's losing
what she feels is her dog yeah the dog
didn't cheat on her no well we don't have the guy cheated on her either but no well i don't think
i don't think he did we don't know definitely didn't you know the dog didn't well you never
know um but anyway what she's saying is that she believes she knows she doesn't have any technical
rights what does she want does she want sole custody or does she want shared custody? It doesn't really say
but I think she wants sole custody.
Oh, that's a big play. Yeah.
That's a big play. Because what
she's saying is being a
medical student, she believes that
the dog won't get the care or the
attention it needs. She's saying she's got the
dog's best interests at heart. That's what she's
saying. Oh, that's a good card to play too.
Sole custody is a big ask, I think,
especially if it, because it is his dog.
Like if I'm a lawyer, that's his dog.
But if I'm a human being, it's their dog.
It also depends on the way they've broken up too,
which would be why it'd be good to know if he cheated.
Yeah, like did she break up with him?
Then again, shared custody, what a punish.
Because there is nothing better for a breakup than a clean break.
And if you're going to have weekend about with the dog,
you're going to be in each other's life for the next 10 years.
And that's not helpful.
That's not going to help you move on quickly.
Sounds like a nightmare.
But then I also get it because if you're both super attached to an animal,
like it's very hard.
Have you ever done it?
No. You never shared custody of an animal? Like, it's very hard. Yeah. Have you ever done it? No.
You never shared custody of an animal?
Oh, I share custody now.
No, after a breakup.
Oh, no.
Do you and your partner have a plan for if you break up,
what would happen to the dog?
No.
Because me and my wife do.
Do you?
Yeah.
Me and Lucy know exactly what will happen.
We don't have a plan because that's not going to happen.
We don't want to think like that.
We've talked about it.
If Lucy and I ever break up,
I get Bowie and she gets Ziggy. Yeah, so what you're saying to me is
we need to get another dog
and then it'll be fine. How does that work
with the kids? Do I get one of the kids and she gets
one of the kids? Yeah. Which one would you pick?
Oh, we'll deal with that. Okay.
As and when. No, if it happens.
Just mouth which one you pick.
If it happens.
I love that.
Let's talk to people who had to deal with a pet in a breakup.
Did you get the pet?
Did you have to fight for the pet?
Did you have dual custody?
Yeah, do you share the pet now?
Is it one week with you, one week with them?
And is that the biggest punish in the world?
And can you share custody of a cat? I wonder.
I think so. Can you move the cat
house to house? Poor cat.
Bree and Clint. A friend of
mine actually went through this
and her and her boyfriend got
a dog when they were together. They thought they were going to
be together forever, hence why they got a dog together.
But when they got
the dog, they
kind of had a contract
where they said, right, we're going to get this dog together
but let's be reasonable.
If something does happen in the relationship,
the situation will be if one of us decides they want
to leave the relationship, they're the person that breaks up
with the other person, then the other person gets the dog.
You've told me this before and you think it's quite a good idea, right?
No, no, no, no.
I never said it was a good idea.
Because I think it's emotional blackmail
to stay in a bad relationship.
I think it's a horrible idea
because you can't put that kind of...
Because then you go,
I'm unhappy but I can't leave
because I love that dog too much.
And literally that's the situation my friend was in
because I was friends with the girl
and she was obsessed with the dog.
It's like a handcuffed dog. And I believe
she stayed in the relationship probably
way longer than what she really wanted to.
Not ideal.
We're going to talk to some people. We've got a
vet nurse who's called us up. Hello.
Anonymous. You want to say anonymous? Hello
Anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Hello.
How's it going? You said that the whole
shared custody of animals
is way more common than people might think.
Yeah, yeah, really common.
Really?
So you see it all the time.
Does it make it confusing for you guys working at the vets?
Yeah, very confusing.
And the worst is when, say,
you sort of talk about the previous consult or something
and then they're like, oh, we didn't know about that.
And I'm like, oh, shit.
Yeah, I don't want to get in the middle of this.
Wait, my dog swallowed a balloon the last time?
I didn't hear about that.
What happens when there's something that needs to be done,
like an operation or a big cost,
and you run into a situation where one partner wants to spend the money
to help the animal and the other partner doesn't?
How do you guys deal with that?
Well, that's a real tricky one. partner wants to spend the money to help the animal and the other partner doesn't. How do you guys deal with that?
Well, that's really, that's a real tricky one.
Like the vets mainly deal with that and like we actually tell them to get lawyers involved with that because we want, it's really tricky.
Like you really have to stay out of it and they try and get you involved.
It's horrible.
What do you think should happen?
It's like a human, you know, custody battle.
It's horrible. Are you in a relationship at the moment? Yes, I am. do you think should happen? It's like a human, you know, custody battle. It's horrible.
Are you in a relationship at the moment?
Yes, I am.
Do you have any animals?
Heap.
Do you know what would happen if you guys broke up?
Do you know who would get what animals?
Basically, we'd go with the animals we came in with.
Right, okay.
Okay, well, that makes sense.
So you haven't got any since being in a relationship together?
Oh, we have.
We have. But, like, he has his dog and I've got my dog. in a relationship together? Oh, we have. We have.
But, like, he has his dog and I've got my dog.
I understand.
Right.
Yeah, okay.
Well, that's really interesting.
Thank you for that.
So interesting.
Someone on the text machine said,
this is happening to me as we speak.
I'm slap in the middle of separating from my husband
and he doesn't know what he wants to do.
So the pussycat has to come with me which really limits the types of apartments
I can look at purchasing or moving into.
Being difficult is an understatement.
So she doesn't want the cat?
She's getting stuck with the cat.
She wants him to take the cat.
They're fighting.
Oh, well, that's a...
Poor cat.
Jan's here.
Hi, Jan.
G'day, Jan.
Who got the animal in the breakup, and what animal was it?
I got them all.
I got the two cats and the one dog, and it was awesome.
Jan, you sound real pumped about this.
How did it go down?
Basically, they were attached to me.
They weren't attached to him.
And he said, if I raised my fist to you in front of the dog, the dog
would have attacked me. So I went, yep,
well that's it, I'm taking that dog.
Wow. There you go.
It was absolutely awesome and he
was correct. If he had raised his fist to me, the dog
would have taken him. He didn't
raise his fist to you though, did he Jan?
No. No, no. Oh, thank
goodness, that's dark.
To be honest, towards the relationship towards the other girl, the partner thing, no. Thank goodness. That's dark. To be honest,
towards the relationship towards the other girl,
the partner thing,
I think that they should initially just share the dog because you might find one of them will turn around and go,
you know, look, it's not working for me.
It's too hard.
Yeah, because the dog gets emotionally attached to both of you
and it doesn't understand why all of a sudden one thing...
That's a good point.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah, that's a great point.
You don't really think about it, but dogs actually, and I mean all animals,
would be like, what is going on?
Do you think, Jan, all those animals, having them around you,
helped you through your breakup?
Oh, totally.
You know what I mean?
As in they are awesome animals and they still are,
and I've got more since then.
And, yeah, no, I wouldn't
be without my animals. Jan, how many animals you got? Excluding my cows, I've got one dog
and three cats at this very moment. Oh, Jan, sounds like a good time at your house. And
45 cows. Oh, it's awesome. It's always a nutcase area. Look, if worse comes to worse, you go
to the park, right? Yeah.
And you both stand at equal distance away from the animal.
And whichever person the animal goes to first, that's who gets to keep it. Yeah, let the animal decide.
You know, just simple.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest.
The Top Gun sequel comes out this week, I think.
I get to go to one of those very fancy media things
and watch it tonight before it comes out.
You're so famous.
Anastasia's coming.
You don't check your emails, so you're not coming.
I'm a bit upset.
But it's...
I feel like I was the original Top Gun fan on this show.
So you've seen Top Gun?
You know the movie?
Are you joking, mate?
Why don't I?
I only watched it last year.
Of course I have seen it.
It's good.
You're the person on this show
that hasn't seen any iconic films
and I forced you to watch it a few years ago.
I've watched Top Gun now and I love it.
I'm a Top Gun fan.
Yeah, well, I knew you would.
So the new one, Top Gun Maverick, comes out.
If it's not this week, it's very soon.
Tom Cruise originally didn't even want to make this sequel.
Why? Well, it's so long ago. It's from the 80s, this movie. He's very soon. Tom Cruise originally didn't even want to make this sequel. Why?
Well, it's so long ago.
It's from the 80s, this movie.
He's on to other things.
He's all about Mission Impossible, that franchise.
Yeah, but that's from the 2000s.
Yeah, and new projects, that kind of thing.
About five years ago, the director of Top Gun, Joe Kaczynski,
flew to Paris where Tom was shooting Mission Impossible.
And in between scenes, he had half an hour, 30 minutes
to pitch Tom Cruise the idea of the new film
and get him on board.
Just half an hour.
And he managed to do it, obviously.
He did a bloody good pitch because at the end of it
Tom Cruise phoned Paramount Pictures and just said,
we are making this film.
I wonder what he said to him.
Right, I want to know what you do in that 30 minutes to make. I wonder what he said to him. Right, I want to know what you do
in that 30 minutes to make. You know what,
I know what he said. Yeah. This is what he said
and it only took a couple of words.
You want to know?
Yeah.
40 million dollars.
Boom.
Tom Cruise, we are making this film.
He just walked into the
Tom Cruise's trailer and he said,
you complete me.
Yeah, but how much do I complete you?
Like $40 million worth?
Is Val Kilmer in the film?
Is he coming back?
Great question.
I'll let you know tomorrow.
I don't think he is.
Do you even know he was in the original?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Just checking.
He was Goose.
Highway to the...
A true Top Gun fan.
There it is.
I can't wait to see it.
I've heard amazing things.
You can't make Top Gun without Tom Cruise.
They tried to make Mission Impossible without Will Smith.
Nobody cared.
You can't do it without Tom Cruise.
Yeah.
I'll let you know if they can do it without Val Kilmer tomorrow.
Guys, it's happened. Nobody cared. You can't do it without Tom Cruise. Yeah. I'll let you know if they can do it without Val Kilmer tomorrow. Bree and Clint.
Guys, it's happened.
Kourtney Kardashian has tied the knot with Travis Barker,
ex-Blink-182 member.
I've always said that as that relation, they're forever.
They are.
Yeah, Travis and Kourtney, they are forever.
We say all the time on this show, if there is true love,
it exists in that relationship.
In the Kardashian family.
No?
Yeah.
If you've been watching the new season of The Kardashians,
Kourtney and Travis Barker,
their relationship and how much PDA they have
makes me feel a little bit ill.
They're yuck.
I'll just come out and say it.
And I have been watching it, the show, the yuck.
Did you see when they went to their open home
and they're looking to buy a house together?
Oh, I can't.
I can't talk about it.
He sits down on their outdoor furniture
and she just straddles him,
like straddles him on the outdoor furniture
and they realise that agent's just standing there
with a notepad like, um, so.
I'll just walk back inside.
Are you guys going to buy the house?
Cool.
And then they just start licking each other.
Like, I get it.
You're in the honeymoon stage.
It's all so hot nine months in, you know.
And I get that.
I know what that feeling's like.
It's very exciting.
But it's also like what is appropriate or makes people feel comfortable to be around you?
Oh, yeah.
Literally get a room.
Well, they did.
They got a honeymoon room.
Well, they got married on the weekend, right?
They got married in Portofino in Italy.
I would say that the honeymoon period is the worst time to get married.
That's when they're getting married.
They're still in the honeymoon period.
They're still in the good bit.
Yeah. They haven't had the normal bit. They're still in the good bit. Yeah.
They haven't had the normal bit. He proposed on their one year anniversary.
Yeah, it's all chemicals at this stage. You don't know if you
actually like him. Oh, you have no idea.
You have no idea. You are besotted. You are
absolutely running on lust. You're in lust.
Wow, look at us.
Jinx. Because you and I
We should be all married at first sight.
We could do that job. It seems pretty simple. Yeah. You and I... We should be all married at first sight. We should be. We could do that job.
It seems pretty simple.
You and I obviously have both felt what this feeling feels like.
I have been in situations where I've started dating someone
and I'm so besotted with them that I'm just obsessed with them.
And then eventually, you know, you get to know them more and more and
you can see if the relationship will actually work.
You have to do that. You have to go through some hard times to know if you can navigate
hard times together.
Absolutely.
And maybe they have. Maybe they've had an incredible nine months. Who are we to say?
But from the outside, man, it feels like they are hot and horny and they just went, you
know what? This is going to last forever. Let's get married.
People will say, though, and if they're a true Kardashians fan,
they'll be like, oh, they've been friends for 10 years, though.
They have been friends for 10 years.
Does that count?
Because technically they haven't just.
Does it?
Does it count?
I think it counts to a certain degree.
It counts for something.
Because you know the person.
Yeah.
And it sounds like they were quite close friends.
So they do know the person quite well.
Well, they were both married to other people, though,
or in relationships with other people 10 years ago.
Yeah, but have you seen the real cringe part on the show
where he's like, I bought the house next to Courtney's
even though I didn't know if we would ever get the chance to be together,
but knowing that she would just be close to me,
even though we might never be together, was all I needed.
Nah, that's stalkerish.
That's like he's been just creeping on her for 10 years,
trying to be at the right place at the right time.
Nah, mate, he was playing the long game.
It's a very long game.
Maybe we're cynical.
Maybe that's very romantic.
And maybe we're just being a bit harsh.
Not very relatable though.
I'll just buy this house just so I can be close to this good looking girl that I fancy.
Yeah, yeah.
Must be nice.
Bree and Clint.
Have you watched Down for Love, the new TVNZ dating show about people who have Down syndrome?
We've got Libby Hunsdow from Down for Love on the show at about 4.30 in about 10 minutes time.
I can't wait to talk to her.
She's also the actress that appears in that New Zealand
film Poppy. She's so cool
and I can't wait to talk to her. Libby's up in 10 minutes.
But right now we're talking about
a shotgun wedding.
You're not waiting to find out if
you're soulmates or not. You're just going to dive right
into a lifelong commitment. Hey, why not?
What's the worst that could happen? Like Travis
Barker and Kourtney Kardashian.
How long have they been together, Brie?
I think a year and a half.
Oh, that's longer than I thought.
I thought they were like nine months.
No, I think they got engaged on their one-year anniversary
of the day that they went on a first date.
Okay, they're still quick, but...
It's quite quick.
I mean, when you know, you know, right?
Michael's here.
G'day, Michael.
Hello, Michael.
G'day, guys. How are you? Good, thanks. Did, you know, right? Michael's here. G'day, Michael. Hello, Michael. G'day, guys.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Did you have a quick wedding?
Well, we got together in the July of 2016.
Okay.
Yep.
And then engaged, I think it was either the August or the October.
That's how quick it was.
Of 2016?
Of the same year.
Yeah, same year.
Okay, that's quick.
That is quick.
And then when did you get married? We got married the following year. Yeah, the same year. Okay, that's quick. That is quick. And then when did you get married?
We got married the following year in December.
So December 2017.
Damn.
Yeah, Michael, you don't waste any time.
From woe to go, that's less than 18 months.
Yeah, and we're still married, so it's nearly five years.
And you're coming up on your five-year anniversary.
Do you reckon it's going to last?
Yep, definitely.
Oh, well, there you go, Michael.
When you know, you know.
When you know, you know.
Michael has to say that.
Hey, Michael, is she listening to this right now?
I hope he isn't.
Oh, so rude of us to assume.
We apologise, Michael.
Congratulations.
We apologise.
Absolutely.
Well, let's hope he's listening then.
Oh, cute.
Oh, you guys would have had a fence. I hope there isn't a she as well, Michael, because that's not going to go well for the relationship if there's a he's listening then. Oh, cute. Oh, you guys would have had a fence.
I hope there isn't a she as well, Michael,
because that's not going to go well for the relationship
if there's a woman on the side.
Oh, I doubt there's a she.
Trust me, that's...
Oh, well, for you, maybe, Michael.
Let's not assume about your husband.
Congratulations.
Okay, a rapid marriage success story.
Let's talk to Kalisha.
Is it Kalisha?
Hi, guys.
Hi.
Hello, mate.
Did you have a quick wedding or someone you know?
I actually have a similar story to Michael,
but I'm talking about my parents this time.
Go on then.
So my parents met in, I believe it was February of 1996.
Right.
They got engaged three months later,
and then they got married two months after that.
Oh, my God.
That is quick.
So did you say about five months?
Yeah, it was about five months.
And that's in 1996.
How old are you, Kalisha?
I'm 25.
So, what year were you born?
97.
Wow!
That is buzzing me out so much, Kalisha.
So, they went from meeting to having their first child
and being married within the space of two years.
Yeah, my mum was pregnant with me
when they got married, so yeah.
Right, gotcha.
Are they still together?
Shotgun.
Yep, after 26 years together, yep, they're still together.
And do you reckon they're going to last?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Kalisha took that question real seriously.
She's like, oh, look.
Everyone's taking it awkwardly serious.
I'm joking, by the way. Of course your parents are going to last, Kalisha took that question real seriously. She's like, oh, look. Everyone's taking it awkwardly serious. I'm joking, by the way.
Of course your parents are going to ask Kalisha.
Of course they are. We love that you answered the question.
That's a good sign.
Yeah.
But if they do break up, just remember, two Christmases.
Of course, of course.
Leave her alone, the poor thing.
Thanks, Kalisha.
Matt's here as well.
G'day, Matt.
Hello, Matt.
G'day, guys.
How are you?
Good, thanks. Matt, was it you that had a fast shotgun wedding? Yeah, Kalisha. Matt's here as well. G'day, Matt. Hello, Matt. G'day, guys. How are you? Good, thanks.
Matt, was it you that had a fast shotgun wedding?
Yeah, it was.
I think we met in August,
engaged in November,
and then married in July.
Less than a year.
Matt, were you in a rush?
What was going on?
Oh, I think when you know, you know. I think that's part of it. August of a year. Matt, were you in a rush? What was going on? Oh, I think when you know you know.
I think that's part of it.
August of last year.
No, that was 2016.
Okay.
And you're still together now, Matt?
Still together.
Yeah.
So you said when you know you know.
How did you know?
Well, she was the only one when he was going to date with me.
He's like, I've got to lock this one down Yeah, you've got to lock it down
I bought the engagement ring after being
together three weeks
You bought the engagement ring after three weeks
of meeting this girl
Yeah
Hey Matt, did you ever think
I need to go easy here
and want to scare her off,
or you just thought, no, I'm throwing caution to the wind and I'm going all in?
I think go for gold, really.
Would your friends describe you, and I say this lovingly, Matt,
would your friends describe you as a Kino Bino?
On certain things I am?
Yeah, yeah, right.
Well, congratulations.
This girl was certainly the one.
Good on you.
You followed your gut instinct and it worked out well for you.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Matt, what was it like taking your girlfriend
or the girl that you were dating on the fourth date?
Matt took her to an auction and he bought the house
and said, I bought this for us.
Doesn't get any more romantic than that.
Matt, she was surprised?
If you're watching the TVNZ show Down for Love,
which is all about New Zealanders with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities,
you'll know Libby Hunsdale.
My name is Libby Hunsdale and I am 19 years old.
Love to me actually is someone who you can trust and someone who you can talk to.
And someone that is 100% loyal and honest with you all the time.
She is an actress.
She's a model.
And she joins us on the phone now.
Hi, Libby.
Hi, Libby.
Hi. Hi. Oh, my Hi, Libby. Hi.
Hi.
Oh, my God, Libby.
We're so excited to talk to you.
I'm fangirling over you right now.
It's my favourite new show, Down for Love.
You're so great on it.
What's it been like?
Oh, the show has been absolutely amazing.
I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it,
but obviously you're all looking for love, which like we all are.
How's it going?
My cruise for love isn't really going that great.
Oh, no.
Story of my life.
It's the same.
Oh, it's the same for everyone, isn't it, Libby?
You're not seeing anyone at the moment?
Have you gone on any dates?
Not at the moment. No. I think you might not be seeing anyone at the moment? Have you gone on any dates? Not at the moment.
No.
I think you might not be dating anyone at the moment because you're so busy. You're
doing everything. You've got a movie out at the moment, Poppy, which I absolutely love.
What was it like making that movie?
Making the movie was absolutely really fun.
Yeah, it looked like heaps of fun.
You did so amazing at it.
Had you ever acted before?
Not exactly, but I have done performing arts at school.
I know movie stars make a lot of money. Did they pay you millions of dollars,
and are you rich now because of the movie Libby?
Well, I wouldn't say millions, but kind of close.
Wow.
Oh, look out.
Maybe you can take us out on your yacht one day.
One day.
We saw you dancing on one of your dates.
You're a really good dancer.
Super good.
Thank you. I've been doing dancing since I was 11 years old, actually.
Amazing.
Your dance partner, well, your dance instructor on Down for Love was Enrique Johns.
He's currently on Dancing with the Stars.
He's one of the experts.
You're a TV star now.
Do you think you would like to go on Dancing with the Stars one day?
I would absolutely love to.
It's always been my dream to go on one of those dance reality shows.
Well, we know Sharon.
We know people, yeah.
Maybe we could ask some people if they could make it happen.
Should we ask?
If you want.
Oh, my God, Clint.
I feel like the stars are aligning, Libby.
This is our job, is to get you on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.
I think we can make it happen.
We'll give it a good go.
I'm very excited for that.
So are we.
That's Libby Hunsdale from TVNZ's Down for Love.
It's back on TV2 tonight at 8.30.
Go and catch up on Demand 2.
It's such a great Kiwi show.
Thanks, Libby. Nice to talkwi show. Thanks, Libby.
Nice to talk to you.
Bye, Libby.
We'll be in touch for Dancing with the Stars soon, okay?
Sounds great.
It's time to play Guess That Voice,
where Brie has invited the audience to play today.
That's right.
I feel like the audience are ready.
Abby, are you ready?
I think so.
Do you reckon you can guess that voice this afternoon?
Oh, I can try.
Oh, you've got this, Abby.
Don't even worry about it.
I just lost Abby by accident.
I just hung up on her.
Oh.
Do we have the ability to get Abby back?
Cool.
While we get Abby back, we'll talk to TJ.
Hi, TJ.
G'day, TJ.
How are you going?
Good, thanks.
Have you heard the game before?
I have, yes.
Okay, perfect.
You're going to be playing,
and we'll be a lifeline for each of the players, Clint.
Whose team do you want to be on?
TJ's because Abby's gone.
Okay, perfect.
I've got Abby.
That means do I get to play?
Oh, we've got Abby.
We've got Abby.
Hi, Abby.
All right.
Hi, Abby.
Hello.
Sorry, Bree hung up on you. All right, guys. So we're going to be your lifeline. Abby, I means do I get to play Oh, we got Abby. We got Abby. Hi, Abby. Alright, hi, Abby. Sorry, Bree hung up on you.
Alright, guys, so we're going to be your lifeline.
Abby, I'll be yours and TJ
Clint will be yours. You get to use us
once throughout the game.
So you buzz in when
you think you know who the celebrity's voice
is. If you get it right, one point.
First to three wins, okay?
Okay. Good luck.
Here comes our first celebrity.
Who knows who this is?
What good is a fast car, a flash house, and a gold plate of dunny to me?
Oh, TJ.
TJ, who's that?
Oh, Steve.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Abby, do you know it?
Steve Irwin.
Yes.
And, Asaja, is that Steve Irwin?
That sure is.
Guys, if you want a bit of a help there,
today's theme with the Australian election over the weekend,
we've got famous Aussies today.
Famous Aussies.
Oh, this would have been my game.
That's all right.
So if you're going to phone a friend, I'd phone a friend, Brie.
Okay.
All right, this is celebrity number two.
I think there's like a large percentage of the poisonous snakes in the world
reside in Australia and spiders.
I know it, Abby.
Abby, who's that?
I'm going to go with my lifeline and go with Brie.
Nice work, Abby.
I'm all over this.
That's Margot Robbie.
That's correct.
Oh, wow.
I knew that too.
Abby, one more and you take
this game clean sweep.
TJ, are you still there? I haven't hung up on you, have I?
No, I'm still here.
You're going to get this, okay? You're going to get this one.
Hey guys, just a quick note.
I'd just like to say Chris Hemsworth is not
in this game, so it's going to be his next voice.
Oh, is that reverse psychology? Is it going to be Chris Hemsworth? This is going to say Chris Hemsworth is not in this game, so it's going to be his next voice. Oh, is that reverse psychology?
Is it going to be Chris Hemsworth?
No, it's a genuine hint.
This is going to be Chris Hemsworth.
Let's hear Aussie voice number three.
It's just so quiet.
It's real living, you know.
I'm lugging my laundry down to the laundromat.
TJ.
TJ, who do you think that is?
I'm going to use my lifeline.
No!
No!
No!
I have absolutely no idea.
Anastasia, because we've never played this type of game before.
We're going to give Abby a clue.
What?
No, no, no, no, no.
I get to do my life.
Excuse me.
No, he has to have a guess.
Yeah, have a guess.
Can I listen one more time?
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
It's just so quiet.
It's real living, you know.
I'm lugging my laundry down to the laundromat and I...
Who was that guy who kind of talks like this?
Oh, come on.
Come on.
Hugh Jackman.
No, that's not...
No.
Abby, do you want to free guess?
I don't know.
I'll go Chris Hemsworth just because you said it's not him.
Yeah, is it Chris Hemsworth?
No, it's Heath Ledger.
Guys!
Heath Ledger.
Oh, my God.
That was paining me.
Yeah, Frey was sitting here trying to pinpoint.
All right, let's go.
That's all right, guys.
We're clean slate.
Abby, you could win it here.
Let's hear Aussie number four.
And so after about an hour and a half, I thought,
he has no interest.
This is so embarrassing.
I know who that is.
I know who that is.
TJ or Abby, you want to have a guess?
I honestly have no idea.
Can we give out a clue?
Can I give a clue?
Yeah, give out a clue.
They're a redhead.
Keith Urban is also a clue.
You got a buzzer? You got a buzzer?
TJ.
TJ.
I can't think of her last name.
Oh, you're bare with last names.
Savage.
Nicole who?
Kipman.
Way!
Are we all tied up?
This is for the win.
Oh, my God, guys.
This is exciting.
All right, guys.
Let's hear Aussie number five.
I mean, okay, I turn action hero in the movie.
TJ.
TJ, who's that?
Rebel Wilson.
She's done it.
What a ripper.
What a great game.
What a comeback.
We were right there.
Well done, TJ.
You won 50 KFC chicken dollars this afternoon.
Thank you.
TJ, I don't know where you came from, how you did it, but what a win.
That's the most fun.
Guess that voice we've played in a long time.
I think we should do it like that next week.
I think we should do it like that next week too.
Bree and Clint.
A true Kiwi
icon is turning
30.
That's right, Shortland Street.
Probably one of
the most well-known
Kiwi shows around the world
is turning 30, celebrating 30
years on television.
There's big stuff happening this week.
Is your character dead yet?
No, she's still on.
Is she still on there?
Yeah, she's still kicking around.
How long are you on the show for?
There's a big dramatic scene coming up this week.
Is there?
Yeah.
Do you pash Hilary Barry?
I saw she's on there as well.
I give it a good go.
Hilary kind of bats me away.
She's real fast, you know?
You would, eh?
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, same.
Absolutely.
Look, a list has been released,
which I found this really interesting,
about 30 things you didn't know about Shortland Street.
Oh, yeah?
We can't get through all 30 because some of them are quite long,
so I've pulled out some of my favourite ones.
Okay.
And I thought we could, you know,
to celebrate 30 years of Shorty Street,
go through some of these crazy facts.
All right, give me some hot Shortland Street facts. So, first one, did you know the to celebrate 30 years of Shorty Street, go through some of these crazy facts. All right, give me some hot Shorty Street facts.
So first one, did you know the word placenta
was considered too risque for a 7pm time slot
when the very first episode screened back in 1992?
Placenta?
Yeah.
Placenta.
Which I mean is crazy because the show is set in a hospital
and apparently quite a tricky word to avoid
when the storyline revolved around a woman giving birth.
Totally.
I hope nobody went into Shortland Street Hospital with a vagina.
I know.
Heaven forbid.
Heaven forbid.
The doctor's like, we need to operate on your foo-foo.
Your thingy, your wee-wee.
You know, that's crazy.
Surely they'd use the word placenta now.
Yeah.
Oh, they'd use the word, please tell me that is not your penis. Yeah, true. They'd say placenta. Okay, that's crazy. Surely they'd use the word placenta now. Yeah. Oh, they'd use the word, please tell me that is not your penis.
Yeah, true.
They can say placenta.
Okay, that's fascinating.
Yeah.
Actually, speaking of that, you know that was massive.
Obviously, we would know because that was quite recent.
That was in the last five years or so.
Yeah.
When Chris Warner exclaimed to his son, Harry,
please tell me that is not your penis.
It actually went viral across the world,
including US comedian Jimmy Kimmel even did a parody on his show.
Yeah, that's right.
He used Alec Baldwin to act out the line.
That's huge, eh?
That, you know you've made it.
Chris Warner would not have been expecting that
to be the most memorable part of his acting career.
But it's one of them.
He's an icon. He's been on there for all 30 years, and that's the bit that he's that to be the most memorable part of his acting career. But it's one of them. He's an icon.
He's been on there for all 30 years.
And that's the bit that he's going to be remembered for.
I know.
Speaking of iconic lines, we're doing crazy Shortland Street facts you might not have known.
The iconic 1992 line, you're not in Guatemala now, Dr. Ropata.
Yes.
You know that was actually taken out of the script.
Really?
Yes, because it was deemed too silly and it was put back in at the last minute.
Too silly?
Yeah.
I mean, have you seen the penis?
The 90s were weird.
Have you seen the penis?
I was going to say, have you seen the Poonami episode?
You want to talk about silly.
Now, that is the most iconic part for me.
Let's talk cold, hard facts right now.
By May 25th, so that's in a couple of days,
Shortland Street will have aired 7,462 episodes.
Wow.
Making it the 32nd most prolific TV series in the world.
Oh, yeah.
It ranks behind only shows like General Hospital,
The Young and the Restless,
Coronation Street, Neighbours and Home and Away.
Wow. But it's like in the
mix. It is like way in the mix.
If you were to watch every single
episode back to back
without a break, it would take you
a total of 124 days.
Far out. Isn't that crazy?
But they've also done some amazing things
on the show.
Like Hollywood star Carl Urban.
Yes.
He actually played the first openly gay character on the show back in 1993.
Yeah.
Which is just wild.
That would have been quite controversial back then too.
And it would have been, which they always implied the kisses.
They never actually showed them on screen.
But until I think it was a year later,
the first same-sex kiss which was on screen,
Dr Meredith Fleming, which was played by Stephanie Wilkin and nurse Annie Flynn, Rebecca Hobbs,
and it generated several complaints to the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
Well, there you go.
None of which were upheld.
Good. Happy 30th
birthday, Shortland Street. Congratulations
on an epic run. Yes.
We love you. We can't wait to see all
the big stars that are on this week.
I mean, I can't wait to see Hilbaz on it.
Right. Iconic. Hopefully the show
survives having Brie on it as well.
Imagine you appear on it and then it shuts down
production. Excuse me!
Brie and Clint.
Clint, a good friend of mine who used to actually work here.
Yes.
In the building with us, but he's since moved back to Australia
and I was having a conversation with him the other night.
Yes.
Big gay gorgeous Al.
Hello, boys.
Hello, boys.
Here he is.
Hi, Alan.
Kia ora, boys and girls.
How are we? Alan, look, you don't really know. Hi, Alan. Kia ora, boys and girls. How are we?
Alan, look, you don't really know what we're getting you on for,
but you never do.
You and I had a conversation the other night where you've just recently
started dating someone new.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
How exciting.
Guess what?
We've gone more than three weeks.
Wow.
That's exciting.
That's a big gay gorgeous hour record.
Snaps for Alan.
Yeah.
But it was something that concerned me, Alan.
It was a question you said that you asked him on the third date
that I felt was very inappropriate.
Alan, can you please share with the audience what
question you asked this guy on
a third date?
Well, this lovely man
that I'm dating, he is in
his last year of dentistry
and I wanted to know what his graduate salary
was.
Alan Sheppard! You did not
ask somebody on the third date how much money
they make.
Yeah, I did. I'm like, how much money they make. Hard out.
Yeah, I did.
I'm like, I'm not here to stuff her out.
Alan, that's so inappropriate.
So inappropriate.
You can't do that.
He disclosed it with no hesitation.
So I didn't think I did anything wrong.
He didn't disclose.
He didn't openly disclose it.
You coaxed it out of him, Alan.
Exactly.
You teased the information out of the poor man.
I'm like, baby, if you don't make over 80K, we're done.
What?
Thanks.
Alan!
Can I ask you, Alan, before you asked him that question,
had you disclosed how much money you earned to him?
I did, and I may have embellished
because we do work in radio, you know?
Alan!
Did he ask you,
or did you just openly say how much money you made?
He asked me back after I asked him.
Right, okay.
It was only fair to answer.
Okay, well, look,
are we out of touch here, Alan?
Is this what happens in...
No, Clint, we're not.
...in male relationships?
Is that a normal thing to have happen?
Oh, yeah, I've dated previously, and it's a very open conversation.
Gays are very competitive around stuttering and titles, apparently.
Alan, that's because you're leading the charge and asking everyone.
I'm going to speak on behalf of the entire gay population of Australasia.
Yes, that is a thing we do.
It should be on dating profiles.
No, it should not. No, Alan.
Alan, don't wreck the guy's privacy,
but were you happy with the number that you heard?
You must be because you're still dating him.
Oh, I could retire by 40, guys.
Like, I'm in for a good time.
Plus, you'll have lovely teeth.
Far out, Alan.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'm like, you can be in my mouth whenever you want.
Okay, all right.
It might be a great place to wrap up.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
It was so good to talk to Alan.
So good to talk to Big Gay Al.
I thought it's a great jump off, Clint, to really get to the bottom of this.
I want to ask people, oh, my God, 800 dials at him.
What was the inappropriate question you got asked on a date?
Yeah, it doesn't have to be about money.
No, it doesn't have to be about that.
It could just be way too early.
They've come on way too strong.
Yeah, it can be about anything.
They've overstepped the mark.
We're talking baby's marriage, finances.
Politics.
Politics.
Religion.
Whatever it is.
Anything.
Did you get asked a question early on on a date,
and you're like, that is totes inappropriate space.
Maybe you went on a date with Big Gay Al
and you want to call up about him.
Oh, $800 at him, or you can text him into 9696.
We'll get you on next.
Brian Clint, ZM.
So funny, Alan.
Alan, you idiot.
There's a whole lot of other questions that I've asked
that are a little bit inappropriate.
I will save that for another.
He gives zero fucks.
He doesn't work here.
He's like, I'm going to make a BJ joke at 5 o'clock.
Not my ACMA complaints, guys.
Okay.
Thanks, Al.
See you.
Thanks, mate.
Bye.
Look, what's an inappropriate question to ask on an early date, Clint?
Yeah.
We just talked to Big Gay Gorgeous Al,
who came out on the fourth date and said,
how much money do you earn?
He justified it by going, I'm dating a dentist.
I want to know how much money he makes.
I don't care who you're dating.
You don't ask a person how much money they earn on any early date.
He said the dentist, or the date rather, didn't find it offensive.
I reckon it would have been a bit uncomfortable.
Of course he would have been.
Yeah, but they're still dating.
So, you know, I got asked this question on a first date once.
Did you?
Yeah, I was dating a girl who was slightly older than me
and she just came out with it and she said,
so what sort of money do you make?
Oh, that's so awkward.
And at the time, not much.
Like not much at all.
So did you answer it?
Yeah, because also I didn't have much dating experience.
And I was like, I guess this is what we do.
And I said, oh, I said something.
And she goes, oh, really?
I own twice as much as that.
And I was like, cool for you.
Who was this woman? I mean, good for her though. Yeah, good for her. She was killing it. And good for me. I was like, whoa, I earn twice as much as that. And I was like, cool for you. Who was this woman?
I mean, good for her, though.
Yeah, good for her.
She was killing it.
And good for me.
I was like, whoa, a rich cougar.
Why didn't you hang on to her?
Drinks are on you.
Let's find out what the awkward questions are.
Daniel's here.
Hi, Daniel.
Hi, Dan.
Hey, guys, how are we?
Good, thank you.
Dan, did you get asked an inappropriate question on a date?
No, it was actually me.
So I was on a first date with my girlfriend.
I love that you've called up Dan to out yourself.
You're just going to own it.
Good man.
Okay, you're on the first date with your girlfriend.
Yeah, so I asked her if she,
and it wasn't even relevant to whether we were going to have a relationship or not,
but I asked her if she wanted to get a mortgage with me.
Daniel.
Daniel. Daniel.
On the first date.
Were you in a position where you're like,
well, I'm never going to be able to afford this on my own.
I may as well just start asking people.
Hey, we all know how the housing market's going,
so it would have been good, eh?
I think it's a good idea, Dan.
It's going well.
We've been together a year, so we're hoping to buy one,
hopefully within the next one or two, so it should be good.
It's kind of a cute question if they know you're semi-joking.
How did she respond?
She was kind of like taking the back of it, obviously.
Yeah.
But she's keen, so yeah.
It didn't sound like Daniel was joking.
I don't think you were joking, were you, Dan?
No, I wasn't joking by any means.
Wow.
Okay.
You're a good time, Dan.
Good on you, Daniel.
You're up front.
Someone else texted through and they said,
I got asked what my five-year plan was on a first date.
I hate that question when I'm not on a date.
Then they text back and they said the entire date felt like a job interview.
Totally.
That's such a crap question.
Does anyone here have a five-year plan?
No.
No.
I don't.
Producers? No, they're shaking their heads. Anyone out there got a five-year plan? No. No. I don't. Producers?
No, they're shaking their heads.
Anyone out there got a five-year plan?
They're shaking their heads.
It makes you feel like a loser when someone asks you that question.
And then you feel like you have to make something up on the spot.
Yeah.
Can we just say, anyone doing a job interview, stop asking that question.
Also, COVID has proven that your five-year plan means absolutely nothing.
Yeah, the last couple of years has taught us anything. You can't plan at all. Man, we're triggered by that question. It must plan means absolutely nothing. Yeah, if the last couple of years has taught us anything,
you can't plan at all.
Man, we're triggered by that question.
It must be a bad question.
Final caller wants to be anonymous.
Hello, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi there, how are you?
Good, thank you.
Did you get asked something inappropriate on a date?
I sure did.
I had been dating a guy for a couple of weeks.
Okay, so not very long.
No, not long, but when we were doing some indoor gardening,
he asked me how many people I had indoor gardened with.
No.
Exquisitely.
Wait, wait.
Anonymous, this is very important.
Was it during indoor gardening that he asked the question?
It was during, yes.
During?
No.
What, he just like whispered in your ear?
No!
What's your number?
No!
Yeah.
Okay.
That's so off.
I need to know, obviously I'm not asking you the question,
but how did you reply to that?
Did you tell him the number?
Yeah, I was quite shocked.
And then I replied, I answered him, and then I asked him,
how's it for you?
And he replies with, I don't think you want to know the answer.
You're shitting me.
What do you think that means?
Do you reckon that means the number is massive or the number is really, really small?
It could be either or.
It could be either or.
I squeezed it out of him and he'd slept with over a couple of hundred people.
Okay.
You found that out while you were doing it.
We're not here to shame anyone.
We're not here to shame anyone.
But do you think, Anonymous, he was asking you that question?
I'm not here to shame anyone.
Do you think he was asking you that question
because he just wanted to boast about himself?
I don't know.
Because I continued seeing him for a little while longer.
And I remember i almost
joked about the same conversation again and he was like oh my god how did you know that oh thank you
sorry that you were the one that told me you told me wow oh no so that relationship didn't work out
is that right no no it didn't i'm not not for that I didn't judge him for that. No, no, no, no, no.
But there were other things that happened.
I think the question, you know,
I think the question that he posed to start with was worse than the number.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm judging him for asking that question that early during that moment.
During that thing.
Oh, my God.
That's the judgment.
Yeah.
Hey, thanks to your core, Anonymous.
Thanks, Anonymous, for your core thing.
You've really given us a wild ride this afternoon.
Oh, can you imagine? Way to kill core, Anonymous. Thanks, Anonymous, for the core thing. You've really given us a wild ride this afternoon. Can you imagine?
Way to kill the mood.
Jeez.
Someone else texted through because we were talking about someone got asked,
what's your five-year plan on a date?
Someone texted through and they said, my five-year plan equals survive.

I couldn't tell.
You think she was being sarcastic.

Hey, look, I'll take it.
I'll take it.
It's worth it.
It's Monday, and I am going to attempt to blow your mind on a Mind Blown Monday.
It's risky.
It's risky.
It is risky.
I got you last week.
You did?
You blew my mind?
I mean, it was on a Tuesday, but the thing happened on a Monday.
I let it pass.
You let it pass.
It was a good story.
This one is not my story, so I kind of don't care whether I blow your mind
or you have to get farted out.
Because it's one way or the other in a Mind Blow Monday.
It either blows our mind or we get farted out.
You'll be the judge on this one, and I'll hit you with the story right now.
Alright, I'm ready.
Rowan Oswald, this is a true story.
It's in the news today.
Rowan Oswald is a 39-year-old high school teacher
from Tauranga
and he was looking around his house
for some things to donate to a community library
that his wife is running.
Okay.
He found a book on his bookshelf
called The Poetical Works of Robert Burns,
a.k.a. Robbie Burns.
It was from the 19th century, the book,
and it had been on his bookshelf unread
since he bought it at a secondhand book fair
in Auckland back in 2015.
Okay.
He bought it because it reminded him of Dunedin,
Robbie Burns, Dunedin,
the statues of him all around Dunedin. That's where he met his partner of Dunedin, Robbie Burns. Dunedin, the statues of him all around Dunedin.
That's where he met his partner in Dunedin.
So he's like, oh, yeah, that reminds me of her.
I'll get it.
It's a huge book.
It's got like 500 pages and he got it for 50 cents.
He said, I like this.
I'll read it later.
Fast forward from 2015 to now, he's never read it.
Okay.
It's just one of those things that just sat on the bookshelf forever.
You're surprised he didn't pick up the complete works of Ruby Boots.
I'm surprised by it.
I mean, for 50 cents, you know it's a good read.
It's been at his house for seven years.
They've moved house four times.
It's gone to each house.
He's never picked up the book.
He never opened it.
Anyway, fast forward to now, he's like, I'll donate that book.
I'm not going to read it. It's been seven years's like i'll donate that book i'll i'm not gonna read i'm not
gonna read it it's been seven years i'll just donate it he got out the book and something
inside him told him just open it said just open the book uh so he opened it and just inside the
front page you know some people write their name inside the books it said fred m, the same name as his great uncle, Fred Mullen.
He thought, oh, I wonder if that's my uncle, Fred Mullen.
There was also an address inside the book.
It said 19 Seymour Ave, Papatoetoe.
His uncle, Fred, lived in Papatoetoe.
So he called his parents, said, what was Uncle Fred's address?
They said it was 19 Seymour Ave, Papatoetoe, and he had in his hands a book that belonged to his great uncle,
and he had no idea.
What the hell?
Yeah.
Mind blown.
Buzzy, eh?
How does that happen?
So where did he buy it from?
Just a book fair, you know, like a junk sale kind of thing.
What the hell are the odds of that?
His uncle died.
He met his uncle.
He knew him even though it was his great uncle.
His uncle died when he was a kid.
And his auntie sold all the possessions.
He was too young to buy any of it, so he didn't get any of it.
And then randomly at this book fair, he picks it up for 50 cents.
What?
Doesn't open it, holds onto it for seven years, and then opens it.
He's like, holy shit, that's my uncle's book.
Of all the books in the world.
That was his uncle hanging around him all those years.
You reckon?
That's what I think.
Absolutely.
How do you explain it?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You know what would have made that story way better?
Yeah.
Is if it was a secret book and he opened the middle half of it
and there was heaps of money in there that was his uncle's money
and then he became rich.
Well, he still hasn't read the book, so maybe that's...
Oh, my God, I can't wait for the second part of this story.
Bree and Clint.
Have you seen the TikTok she's done where she's getting angry at people
for their Lizzo dances?
I know, it's so funny.
She's like, getting angry at you for how you clap?
That's not it. It's not about getting angry at you for how you clap. That's not it.
It's not about damn time.
It's about damn time.
I've seen someone duet it
and they just go,
sorry Lizzo.
So good.
It's so good.
Okay, on the weekend,
Symphony went down.
Which if you don't know
what that is,
how would you describe
Symphony, Brie?
Essentially,
Symphony is a bloody massive orchestra playing all the top dance anthems and bangers from the last 20 years.
Yeah, including this song, including Sandstorm.
Including this.
Yeah.
With lights.
Laser lights.
Lasers.
Live singers.
And a massive crowd.
Smoke machines.
It's amazing.
Inside Spark Arena
and some guy from ZM
stands on stage
and yells at you
and goes,
you were there.
Are you having a good time?
And everyone goes,
yeah.
I was that guy
and you were the person
in the crowd.
I was.
You were out there.
There were almost 10,000 people
inside Spark Arena
on Saturday night
which was an amazing feeling
three years after
the beginning of COVID-19, or almost three years, to be able to do that again.
It was so weird too.
I had anxiety, but then I was also having fun.
And then I was anxious, having fun, anxious, having fun.
Anxious from a COVID point of view?
Yeah.
Because nobody's more immune than you in that room.
Well, that's true.
You're triple vaxxed and you're like two weeks after having COVID.
So I should, and to be honest, I think I relax quite a lot.
You would have known that if you had have seen me on Sunday night.
I was having a great time.
I literally danced the whole time.
So did I, and I was just the MC.
So I'm up there on stage, dad dancing on the side of the stage the whole time.
I think I saw you at one point.
Having a great time.
However, and you were talking about this today, and I'm feeling it too.
The after effects of going hard at a gig in your 30s, it hits different, eh?
Yeah.
See, like yesterday I started to feel my calf muscles were getting like a little bit sore.
Yeah.
And then I woke up this morning, I'm not joking,
I could barely walk to the bathroom.
I was like, my calf muscles were just bouncing in one spot.
And I said to you, oh, that'll be from standing on that hard concrete floor
for a couple of hours.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that is one of the oldest things I've ever said, I think.
Oh, yeah, you would have bloody travelled up your shins.
You're lucky you didn't get shin splints from that.
Don't sit on that cold concrete because you can get piles from that.
I had dance back, which is just from standing up too long,
dancing the lower part of your back.
Oh, my God, I was so stuck.
Dance back is the worst.
What happened to us?
When did it happen?
When did that happen?
Anastasia said she can relate but only after like a four-day R&V bender.
Yeah, see, that's what it used to be like for us.
Yeah.
That's the case, right, Anastasia?
Yeah.
And then you feel like your body's falling apart as well?
Yeah, it's only after then, I'd say.
Yeah, not after a couple hours at Spark.
That's a walk in the park.
Okay, 25.
I'm not joking.
Okay, yeah, relax.
I'm not joking.
I remember a time, and you might find this hard to believe,
when I was going to uni, I would go to the uni night on Thursday
and I would get the free drinks at Union Jacks in Brisbane
and we would have $4 Jager bombs.
And then I'd back it up on the Friday night and we'd go to the pub
and then we'd go out nightclubbing.
And then on Saturday we thought may as well do the kick-ons
and we used to go out to the big nightclubs on Saturday
and then on Sunday we'd go for a Sunday session
at the Norman B Hotel in Brisbane.
People will know.
When was that, back in the 2000s?
Shut up!
It was though.
Oh, it would have been!
It would have been 2009!
Shout out to anyone who went to Symphony two days ago
and is still recovering.
