The Cannes Film Festival. You're literally saying it wrong. The Cannes. No, no, no. Cannies. No, you hit that word right. Double Cairns. Big Cairns. The Cannes. No, no, no. Cannies. You hit that word right. Double Cairns. Big Cairns.

The Big Cairns. The Big Cairns Film Festival has taken place. It's confusing for you Australians, eh? Because you say Cairns as Cairns as well, don't you? What are you saying? Cairns. Are you commenting on my Cairns or the place Cairns? Cairns.

Cairns. Cairns. Cairns? Cairns. Cairns. Cairns. Cairns. I'm saying you, resident of the country, are saying the place in your own country wrong. Oh, right. I'm glad you cleared that up for me. I'm mansplaining to you how to say things from your own country. Gotcha, gotcha.

Yeah, no, and I'm so glad you did. I love it when you do. The Cairns Film Festival does not take place in Cairns, does it? It does not. It is overseas. And it's the film festival that you hear about where people get standing ovations. You know, they play quite artistic, artsy films there.

I think it might have been where they premiered that Chris Pine, Harry Styles one. Yes. No, Chris Pine? Which Chris am I thinking of? Chris Pine. I just get Chris Pine and Chris Crack confused. When Harry spat no Chris Pine which Chris am I thinking of Chris Pine I just get Chris Pine and Chris Crack confused

when Harry spat on Chris Pine allegedly the Olivia Wilde movie yes yeah yes what was that called

I don't know it was a bit of a flop the movie I think wasn't it yeah a little bit is that where they premiered the hype was bigger

than the movie it's where Martin Scorsese premieres all of his films it's very cool it is it's a very cool, swanky event. It's also the one where all the TikTok videos on the weekend came out of Leonardo DiCaprio chewing his face off on the red carpet.

Yeah. He looked like he had some chewing gum stuck to the roof of his mouth. He was wearing sunglasses the whole time inside. No one else was wearing sunglasses. Anyway, we're not talking about him. No. Because we're talking about Jennifer Lawrence and people are talking about her because of what she wore

on the red carpet, which they should be talking about the new documentary film that she stars in. It's called Bread and Roses and it's actually quite an amazing documentary. It follows the lives of three women living under the Taliban. Oh, wow. It's quite like, as we said, these films are quite like, you know, artsy and go into a lot of these like in-depth issues.

Yeah, yeah. But people aren't talking about that documentary and Jennifer Lawrence. Right. People are talking about what Jennifer Lawrence wore on the red carpet. Bow and arrow. No. She didn't go in a Katniss outfit. She had this amazing red gown on. It's stunning and beautiful.

She looks amazing. And that's not what people are talking about either. Okay. So she wore this amazing gown. It's red. It's beautiful with a pair of black jandals. Just some, you know, cheap. Some Havianas.

Some Havianas, a pair of, you know. You told me about this and I went and Googled it and I was like, oh, Brielle, they won't be jandals. Brielle, we've seen some fancy shoes that she's wearing and they'll be beautiful shoes and Brielle will be like, that's a bloody jandal. I had to look. They're jandals. That's a bloody jandal. Yeah, they're just straight jandals. She's wearing and they'll be beautiful shoes and Brie will be like, that's a bloody jandle. I had to look. They're jandles.

That's a bloody jandle. Yeah, they're just straight jandles. She's wearing jandles. I don't know if we were supposed to see them. I wonder if the gown was meant to be, because it's a floor-length gown, if it was meant to cover the jandles. Nah, I reckon she's making a statement.

Okay, what's the statement? I think because I'm pretty sure the Cairns Film Festival, it's like an unwritten rule that women are meant to wear high heels. Okay. And I think she was making a statement going, stuffies, I'm going to wear bloody jandals. Yeah, right. I actually do think it was a statement.

And because of the documentary that she is a part of and what it stands for, I think I believe it's connected. And, I mean, we're all talking about it stands for. Oh, I see. Okay. I believe it's connected. Yeah. And, I mean, we're all talking about it. Yeah. So I think she's done her job. We have a big awards night coming up next week. It's the annual radio awards.

It's the biggest event, the biggest night for radio of the year. What's the odds of you wearing a pair of jandals? I would love to wear a pair of jandals. Should I? I reckon you should. I would eat that up. I would rock a pair of Havianas. Where you could get the thin strapped Havianas with the jewels,

like the little plastic jewels on them. Nah, don't do thin strap. Don't do thin strap. You get the gold Havianas for the special occasion? No. The only jandals I wear are the bread tag golden brand. Because, you know... Oh, you're a golden girl.

I'm a golden girl. Yeah, good stuff. I just like the... Me too, actually. ...plain black ones. Yeah, me too. I'm not wearing the thin strap. I'll organise you some goldens for the radio awards.

I've got some. Okay. Deal. I'm going to take a couple of different colours and then I'll have a shoe change throughout the night. Perfect. Good night. Perfect. Good option. Yeah.

Can you imagine if I actually did? People go, is that that Aussie girl that's on radio here and she's wearing jandals to the radio? You should wear board shorts as well. Those long ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the knee swingers. I thought we could ask people on 0800DIALZM, who was the person that came really underdressed

to a particular event? It might have been a wedding. Yeah. It might have been a funeral. Yeah. It might have been like a big awards night. Any time where the dress code is implied or it's like standard and someone just shows up really out of place.

They might have gone the other way. They might have come way too overdressed. I'll take that too. I remember the last radio station I worked at, the guy who got the job as the newsreader showed up for his first day in a full suit to read the news on a pop music radio station. Oh, that's cute.

I know, I know, I know. It was adorable. And then he's looked next door at all the radio presenters and they're all in their bloody pyjamas. Ripped jeans and bloody. We've asked you, when did you really muck up the dress codes? There's so many good texts on this. It's after Jennifer Lawrence has been photographed

on the red carpet of the Cairns Film Festival wearing a beautiful red gown but a pair of black jandals. Love it. I love it. Yeah. I say get it done, Jennifer Lawrence. Why not? There's a petition to get Brie to do it at the Radio Awards next week.

Are you wearing a frock? Are you wearing a dress to the Radio Awards? I actually don't know yet. Oh, you could build the outfit around the jandals. I mean, I say let's normalise it. Get rid of the high heels. They're not good for us. We dined out for a long time

on former producer of this show, producer Ben's Radio Awards outfit. Poor Ben. He was going for a look. So just to give you context, the New Zealand Radio Awards is like a black tie event. It's a fancy event. Everyone wears their nicest

outfit. It's really interesting. Yeah, it's the one time radio people look real good. And Ben did the same thing. He wore his nicest stripy t-shirt. He wore a t-shirt and jeans and look, he was going for a particular look.

It didn't pan out for him on the night. He blamed me for a long time for that because he said, I asked you. I asked you if it would be okay. And I said, yeah, I assumed you were going to wear a jacket over the top of the T-shirt. The T-shirt was also too big and it just swallowed him up. Poor Ben.

Oh, we love you if you're listening. Greg is on the phone with us. G'day, Greg. Hi, Greg. Hey, how are you guys going? Good, thanks, Greg. Who was the person that was underdressed in what event? So my wife and I got married on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Beautiful wedding. Beach wedding. We'd go, you know, beach formal. Yeah. With the dress code. Yeah. But unfortunately, my wife's aunt decided to show up in her togs. What type of togs, Greg?

Well, you know, like that, you know, the, you know, 55 to 65-year-old kind of... A one-piece. A one-piece. A woman's one-piece, yeah. She wasn't there in a kini or anything. Oh, my God, I love that so much. She has interpreted the dress code so literally.

She's like beach formal. I understand. My nice togs. Greg, what shoes was she wearing? Do you remember? She wasn't. No shoes. Did she wear a sarong or any kind of like modesty, like anything?

For periods of the celebration. but not for all of it. Did she get in the water? I think from memory at one point she did, yes. You don't get in the water at a beach wedding. That's not why the wedding's at the beach. Oh, God, I love that. I want to see the photos. That's going to be hard to top.

I want to see the family photos. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Oh, no, I didn't say I was anonymous. Oh, it's Anne. Oh, it's Anne. Sorry, Anne.

I thought it was Anne for anonymous. No. Sorry, Anne. And your brother-in-law messed up the dress code. Tell us about it. Yeah, we got married in Surfer's Paradise, and it was just sort of a bit of a destination thing. Everyone come and... Yeah.

Yeah, brother-in-law turned up in cargo pants and a hot tuna T-shirt. Yeah. I mean, was it his best hot tuna T-shirt though? It was his best. It was brand new from the shop. Yeah, I love it. He thought it was cool.

He's in the mode, isn't he? He's dressed for Surfers Paradise. He's like, I iron this shirt for today. Oh, not even it. Yeah. Cool. He's in the mode, isn't he? He's dressed for Surfers Paradise. He's like, I iron this shirt for today. Oh, not even. Not even. Yes, Anne. That's good. Another good one for the family photo album, for the wedding photos.

Oh, yeah. Someone texted her and they said, a friend of my dad's turned up to my wedding in a pair of underarmour track pants and a ping cap and sat directly behind the mother of the groom on the aisle end. He's in all of our ceremony photos. Ping the golf brand. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, this text is brilliant too. They said, my dad got married last year and the wedding was at the beach in Christchurch. It was a slightly more low key wedding as it was a second marriage. However, it was still a wedding where the bride was wearing a white dress and everyone got dressed up nicely, high heels, etc. Then there were these two ladies who were pretty much in active wear. When we arrived for the ceremony, we thought that maybe they were just chatting to some people after their walk down the beach.

And then when it started, they were going to leave. They didn't leave and my partner and I thought they were wedding crashers until they stayed through the whole ceremony and then there was a seat at them for the table at the reception. I mean, you can wear whatever you want. However, active wear at a wedding is a new look. Active wear at a wedding. You'd be comfortable.

You'd be so comfy. You know? Yeah. You'd have a really good dinner. Yeah. You wouldn't be feeling, you know? Someone else said, My dad came absolutely underdressed for my graduation.

Everyone was in dresses and fancy clothes. He came in his mechanic work clothes. I love him, but still. He just came straight from work. I wonder if they had the grease on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If he's a good mechanic, they would. Finally, Tasha's here.

Hi, Tasha. Hi, Tasha. Hi there. Hi. Tell us, Tasha, who was the person that was underdressed? So I've got a story about an overdressed person. Oh, okay. When I was pregnant, my water broke at 3am in the morning.

Okay. And I gave my doctor, who was about 103 years old, I gave him a call and said, baby's coming now. Yeah, okay. And he said, don't worry, come to the hospital. And when I arrived, he was waiting for me in a three-piece suit, a bow tie. He was exceptionally dressed. in a three-piece suit, a bow tie. He was exceptionally dressed. Yeah. And he put his scrubs over his three-piece suit because he said he wore all of that because he's meeting my son for the first time and first impressions matter.

Oh. I mean. So you hadn't pulled him out of an awards ceremony. When you called him at three in the morning, he put his three-piece suit on for the birth? He did. He woke up when I called him his three-piece suit on for the birth. He did. He woke up when I called him and he got dressed to help me give birth. I just picture him catching the baby in his top hat, being like, it's here. Mr. Monopoly was delivering my baby.

He's checking how dilated you are with his monocle. Did she just say Mr. Monopoly was delivering my baby? I think she did. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. I can't get over the togs at the beach wedding. That was excellent. Free in Clint.

AI is the latest new craze, isn't it? It's everywhere. It's everywhere. We talked about AI dating yesterday. Yeah, AI dating, AI's making music. You know, a lot of people using AI for different things and can be helpful in some cases.

Yeah. I came across this AI where you put your photo into the machine, into the AI, and then it tells you how hot you are. Perfect. According to AI. That's what we need computers to do for us. You know, it's about

time we got AI onto something important. Do you remember the real primitive version of this from the 2000s? You would have been the right age. It was a website called Hot or Not and you just uploaded your photo and then you go on the website and it just brings up pictures of people after picture and you just vote hot or not.

Yeah, you rate people. That's all you can vote is hot or not and then you can go and check your score and it says brings up pitches of people after pitch and you just vote hot or not. Yeah, you rate people. That's all you can vote is hot or not and then you can go and check your score and it says you've been rated by 5,000 people and you are 55% hot. It's really good for people that need to be taken down a few pegs, you know, and really just have a knock to the self-confidence. It was great for that, which this might be great for that too.

Producer Ella has been working hard behind the scenes and she has put our photos, a photo of you, Clint, a photo of me, into this AI and we're about to find out how hot we are according to AI. Okay, what is the AI called, by the way? It's called Hot Chat 3000. Sounds legit. Ella, how did you find Hot Chat by the way? It's called Hot Chat 3000. Sounds legit. Ella, how did you find Hot Chat 3000 to use?

Was it straightforward? Yeah, actually, it was quite cool. Like, the graphics of it, the sound, the music. It was cool. Yeah. Excellent. Who are you going to critique first? Clint.

Okay. You. Oh, that means things aren't good for me if I'm going last, but okay. No, no, we don't know. You have uploaded a picture of me in the ZM studio. Yep. I have a bit of a moustache in this picture. Yeah, I tried to find nice photos of you guys.

Okay. Smiling. I like it. It's nice. It's a photo from my birthday. So I put it in. It took a while to load. It finally loaded, and it gave you 6.2.

Out of 10? Yes. I'm a 6. No, 6.2. 6 of 10? Yes. I'm a 6. No, 6.2. 6.2, Clint. What would you... Swedish rounding. I'm a 6.

What would you rate yourself? Not looking at that. Good question. Like, have you thought about that? I would have thought I was a 7. Like, we're just talking straight looks, no personality. I would have thought I could flop over a seven. So you think that AI's done you dirty

on a point eight. Yeah. Ish. Ish. Okay. Does it give any feedback for why I'm a six? No, but you can start dating or chatting other sixes. So. Yes. Okay, perfect. Good.

Oh, I don't think I want to know. Here we go. Come on, Bree. I don't think I want to know. This is the photo I used. It's a photo with your dog, Whitney. But what if it's picked up Whitney's face, my dog's face? I made sure it didn't.

And the dog gets a 10. Yeah, and I get a 3. You just take it. If you get a 10 by the dog, you just take it. Yeah, sweet. Good night. It's a lovely photo of you. Okay, Bree's sitting outside.

She's wearing a linen shirt. She's smiling, and she's with her dog. Let's see what she got. Oh, no. Okay, this is what AI said. 6.7. I win! I win!

That's all I care about! Still a 6, though. Round it up, that's a 7. You're the hottest member of the Brian Clint Show by 0.5. Oh, bloody take it, eh? What does a seven look like? What does an eight look like? What does a ten look like?

Tell me, because you obviously have been doing this. Did you put yours and producer Claude's photos in? Yeah. Okay, Claudia, photo with a dog. We can see it here. Claudia looks beautiful in this photo. She's wearing a hat. Very symmetrical in that photo.

Thanks, guys. She got wearing a hat. Very symmetrical in that photo. Thanks, guys. She got a six. A straight six. I don't agree with that. At least we can all chat to each other. Yeah, true. Yeah. True.

We'll all see each other on the website. Ella, I almost think you don't want to get any more or less than a six. Why did you put that photo in? Because I don't want to be biased and choose a really hot photo of me so i chose the average one oh you look like a you look like you you're wearing speed dealer sunglasses in that photo like a blind surfer i'm so interested what did what did uh hot chat 3000 the ai say about that photo? 6.4, baby! Yeah! Leshko! Leshko! The Sixers.

The Sixers. Hey, we should rename our show to The Sixers. The Six Out of Tens. Yeah. The Six Out of Tens. So we can all chat to each other. Yeah, yeah. That's what we say. Guys, we should date.

We should all chat. We should date. We're all in the same category. Wait, can I just check? Was I the ugliest? No, I wasn't. Point two. Point two. Way to bring it up, Clint. You knew the whole time.

I'm not the ugliest. If you want to write yourself, poor Claudia. Why don't you visit Hot Chat 3000 but only if you're having a high self-esteem day. Yeah, otherwise I would avoid it. Next on the show, Bree's going to reveal how much women spend

on average when they're going on dates. You'll be very surprised, I think. Not us sixes, though. Not us sixes. Brie and Clint. Came across this article because FBoy Island, the Australian version is about to launch. Are you with

Abbey Chatfield? Yes, with Abbey Chatfield. We had the New Zealand version of FBoy Island and Australia is about to launch. Are you with Abby Chatfield? Yes, with Abby Chatfield. We had the New Zealand version of FBoy Island and Australia is about to launch theirs. And it's quite interesting because they've conducted some research where they've asked different Australian women how much they spend on going on dates. Right. So how much money they spend getting ready for dates. Oh, that's part of the – wait. Yeah.

Can I just say as a man, that's a part of the date that I had never thought about. See, and this is where the interesting part comes in, right? Because there's expectations around who should pay on the first date. Yes. But a man is never thinking about the the money that has been spent before the prep work because i'm telling you right now a man is the the most the man might have spent you put on your nicer jeans and maybe your best t-shirt i might buy a new t-shirt yeah i might buy a new t-shirt whereas uh the the ladies

we're spending quite a lot of money okay so. So these are the Aussie statistics that they've found. So expenses include stuff like hair appointments, new outfits, hair removal, and nails. Okay. Okay. Full panel bidding. So this is crazy. This is per year. Mm-hmm. crazy this is per year turns out aussie women are spending 3.14 billion dollars

getting ready for dates i thought this was a per person thing oh right i've got i i think i've broken yeah i've broken it down okay cool yeah so but when you said that number, I was like, each? No, not each. So I'll give you the other numbers first. So $472 million on hair appointments, $526 on new outfits, $302 million on hair removal. That's a lot of laser. It's a whole industry. And waxing. $383 on nails.

So when you break it down per female, it's about $3,000 annually. Yeah, right. Yeah. I want to know the outlay per date. And I imagine you spend more on a first date than you do on the preceding dates. Like over time, you'd feel more comfortable to be yourself. But I want to know like roundabout how much is going on a first date. Well.

Let's work it out. How much does a bikini wax cost? I haven't got a wax in years, but I'm going to say probably. Girls, can you help me out here? How much is a wax? Come on, guys. Surely someone knows how much. 70?

What? Where? Full bikini. 90. Let's say it's 90 bucks. Okay. Let's say you're getting the full Brazilian. 90 bucks.

Are you getting your nails done for this date? Yeah. Let's say you're getting your nails done. That's another Are you getting your nails done for this day? Yeah, let's say you're getting your nails done. That's another 40. 40. Are you getting a spray tan? Yeah. If you really like the person, then yes.

Okay, you do. So you're getting a spray tan? Okay, yeah. That's another, what, 40 bucks? Is a spray tan only $40? Well, it depends where you go. I've got to start getting spray tans. Yeah, about 40 bucks.

Okay, what else are we doing? New outfit. New outfit. I'm going to say if you really like the person, what, at least 100. 150, I reckon. Okay, let's say 150 if you're getting shoes or whatever. And then let's say you're getting your hair done.

Oh, are we? It says 472 million spent on hair appointments. I guess you guys are getting your hair done for the radio awards next week, so yeah. Yeah, no, I'm saying like maybe you'll go get a haircut or you get a freshen up or a blow dry. Yeah, yeah. Let's say. Put the rollers in.

Yeah. Let's say $200. $200! Well, if you're getting a haircut and then you're getting, let's say you get like a colour, that's at least $200. Okay. Anything else? I reckon we're good.

I reckon you guys look great. I think that's about right. Okay. I think that's about right. So, this is just in the lead up To the first date This is no drinks No food

No Ubers Just getting ready $520 Wow So they're saying $3,000 annually So that's Yeah

So I reckon On balance Six dates Maybe guys could pay for the dinner. But just an idea. Hey, if you want to pay, I mean, I'm happy to go halves. But if you want to step up to the play. I saw this on the internet.

You see these all the time. Little things you can do to improve your health. This one is a 15 to 30 minute life hack that can extend your life expectancy. It's going to be like, you know, exercise or stretching. It's not actually. What is it? This one you actually don't really have to do anything. Is it watching TV

and having a beer at night time? It actually could be. Could it? Depending on how you do it, yeah. Okay, what is it? And you don't need to spend any money. Okay, you've hooked me in now. You don't need any equipment. This better be bloody good.

Okay, there's a new book out, and it says if you do this one thing for 15 to 30 minutes a day, it could extend your life expectancy and your overall health. And that one thing is sitting on the floor. What? They say if you do it. That's how you get piles. Well, if you sit on a cold floor. Yeah. Sit on the floor. What? That's how you get piles. Well, if you sit on a cold floor.

Yeah. Sit on the carpet. What is piles? Great question. Is piles hemorrhoids? I think it is. Yeah. You know how when you're a kid and you sit on the concrete

and my mum would always say, don't sit there too long. You'll get hemorrhoids. You know who would know? Claudia. Claudia, what's the difference between, what is it? Do you know? Do you know which one's which? I just had to Google it. Oh, you did Google it? Yeah, it's hemorrhoids. You know who would know? Claudia. Claudia, what's the difference between, what is it? Do you know?

Do you know which one's which? I just had to Google it. Oh, you did Google it? Yeah, it's hemorrhoids. Same thing. Piles of hemorrhoids. Yeah. Okay. And what is hemorrhoids exactly? Oh, Brianna. It's when something comes out and you've got to put it back in. Oh, yeah. Enlarged blood vessels. Blood vessels, that's what it is. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, this is not about

that, okay? This is not about that. You won't get it. Sit on the carpet in front of your TV in a nice warm lounge. You'll be fine. Sit on a cushion if you want to, okay? But they're saying if you do it regularly, it can help you get better at getting down onto the floor and then getting back up without using any support. This is, if you're in your 20s, you're like,

that's not a problem for me. That's so easy. But if you're in your 30s, you're like, oh, not a problem for me. That's so easy. But if you're in your 30s, you're like, oh, I get it. Should we have a competition right now? Yeah. I'll just give you the last idea because you have to do something specific. And then I've got an idea. Okay.

If you sit on the floor cross-legged, that's the key. Just like you did at school, you've got to sit cross-legged. Cross-legged, okay. It helps to ward off decreases in mobility and poor health. Yeah, but when I sit cross-legged on the floor these days, I pretty much, I feel like my hips fuse up and then I literally can't move. Yeah. So how long did they say?

15 to 20 minutes. That seems like a long time. It sounded so easy at the start, but now it sounds hard. I feel like it's dangerous. So what are we doing? We're going down to the floor. So, no, so this is the, this is the, they say that this shows, I mean, I'm so sore at the moment because I'm training for a 50-kilometre walk, so this is a bad idea.

So we're going to sit cross-legged, and then you have to get up without using your hands. Okay. Okay? All right. You go first. No. Well, one of us has to stay up here and do talking, all right?

Okay. You go. Oh, no. This is going to hurt so bad. My butt is... I'll come down with you. Let's go. All right.

Okay. We're down here on the floor. All right. Cross-legged. Cross-legged. Yep. Grab your microphone. And now...

Oh, no. Okay. And now all you have to do is stand up without using your hands. And you can't obviously pull yourself up. Okay. Three, two, one. And now all you have to do is stand up without using your hands. And you can't obviously pull yourself up. Okay. Three, two, one. Let's go. All right, breeze up.

Go on. And I'm really sore at the moment. Just pop up. Can you hold my microphone? Yeah, here. I'll hold that. And now just jump up. Just pop up.

Just pop up. And up you get. And a one. And a two. And a three jump up. Just pop up. And up you get. And a one. And a two. And a three. He's down. He's fallen. It's not good.

And one more go at it. Ready? You can do this. This has made me feel real good about myself. It must be a men versus women thing. It must be like a... That looked incredibly difficult for you. You know that thing where men can't lift a chair

if their head's on the wall? This must be another one of those. Same, yeah, same. Well, I know where I'm sitting tonight. On a chair? I know where I'm sitting tonight. On a chair? I know where I'll be watching MasterChef. You won't be able to get back up. In bed.

Let's play Let's Get Classical. Cool. It's your chance to see just how much better you are at recognising songs than Brie and I. Because turns out we're pretty bad. We're really bad at this. And everybody I've heard play this in the car has been like, how are you guys not getting these songs? I want, yeah, I think, I mean, there's pressure on.

Yeah, I think that's what I was going to say. I think it's the pressure. We're under the spotlight here. Do you reckon it's the pressure, Claudia? I think it's probably the competition element. So it is the pressure, you know? Claudia goes and finds popular songs done in classical

style and it's our job, Brie, to figure out exactly what those songs are. Sounds easy. Sounds so easy. You're going to make it look really hard. So see if you can beat us. We'll kick these songs off and you guys see if you can pick them before we do. Oh, my God.

I can't wait. Okay, here's your first song. Free. That is Sea of Titanium. Yeah. Yeah, girl. Actually, I reckon I got it just at the end there too. Pretty recognisable tune, eh?

Do you reckon that's David Guetta on the violin? Yeah. Okay, yeah, that's good, Claude That's good I like that one You had it though, Clint You had it I had it Yeah, you're right

So one point to Bree Here's another one Clint Oh, Clint I told you long ago That's Lil Nas X and Oh, what Lil Nas X song is it? What they're waiting for.

Is it Montero? No, it's not. It's the one that has the, it's something name. Oh, Call Me By Your Name? No, it's not that one. No, that's a movie. Can we listen to it again? Yeah, keep going.

And I want it for the champions That's what I want Nah I told you long ago I'm trying to figure out If he even says the name of the song In the song Long ago Montero

Nah We don't know I feel like you know it but you don't know the name. Yeah. It's called. No, don't tell us. Industry Baby.

Yes. Yay. I googled it. Oh, Claire. I was going to say, I think you googled it. I didn't even see you do that. Claudia's like,

wow. She is good. She's the magic wow. He is good. He's a magic man. Lil Nas X songs sound very dramatic when you do them in classical style. Yeah, I like that one. I feel like he should do that as an album. Like the Chariots of Fire or something. Okay, it's one each?

Yeah, why not? Why not? Yeah, why not? The winner can have this round if you get the next song. You ready for it? Oh, Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint. Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk. Yeah. Can you hear it, Brie? Yeah, I had it.. Yeah. Girl said hallelujah. Girl said hallelujah. Can you hear it, Bree?

Yeah, I had it when you got it. This sounds strange. Yeah. If you were in that orchestra, you'd be like, what are we doing? It's made a kind of cool sound. I know we need to get new fans, but what are we doing? I think they'd love it It sounds cool as a song But then you turn it to that

It kind of takes a bit of the cool out It does, yeah A little bit Have you guys ever heard electric violin? Yeah I love it Yeah Very cool

That's what was in the band's yellow card. Was it? Wasn't it? I don't look at me. Time for a birthday banger. Here we go. Birthday banger time. We do it at the same time every day on our show. You call us up with

your birthdays. We tell you the number one song on your 16th. We're going to start with Ruka. Kia ora Ruka. G'day Ruka. Hi. Luka. Luka. Oh sorry Luka. That's alright. Sorry Luka. Got you in there as Ruka.

Ruka. Sorry Luka. Let's do your birthday banger. What's your date of birth Luka? 22nd July 1988. All right. That means you were 16 in 2004, Luca. And on your 16th birthday, this was number one. The greatest, in my opinion, the greatest album of the 2000s.

Confessions from the Usher album, Confessions. Your fan, Luca? I like Usher. Not a big fan, but I do like it. Luca, whereabouts are you from? I'm from Brazil. Oh, nice. Was Usher big in Brazil?

Yeah. Yeah, pretty big. It was big everywhere, wasn't it? That was a dumb question. Shut up, Brie. Do you guys have Usher in Brazil? Yes. It was big everywhere, wasn't it? That was a dumb question. Shut up, Bree. Do you guys have Usher in Brazil? Yes, I know. I corrected myself.

Let's go, Jamie. Hi, Jamie. Hi, Jamie. Hi. Have you ever heard of Usher, Jamie? I mean, that's a stupid question, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, small R&B artist, pretty niche. Jamie, let's see what you get.

What's your birthday? The 8th of April, 1990. All right, that means you were 16 in 2006. And let me take you back to your 16th birthday with this one. What's it get, dolls? And well, I am beep. What do you think, Jamie there ain't no... Pussycat Dolls and Will.i.am. Beep. What do you think, Jamie? Bree, you've got to have heard of that one.

Never heard of it. Do they have Pussycat Dolls in Australia? The Pussycat Dolls. Yeah, yeah. No? No. Doesn't ring a bell? I reckon you'd like them. I reckon they're pretty good.

They sound like a bit of me. Yeah. Wait there, Jamie. That's a good birthday banger. Jamie's throwing out Throwing out the shade I love it Let's go to Melissa Kia ora Melissa

G'day Mel Hi How are you Mel? Good Good I've got my girls in the car Listening and laughing at me Cool

What are your girls names? Nikita, Paige and Indy Nikita, Paige and Indy Hi girls Hello to the trilogy We love it Melissa What is your birthday? Right 6th of June Paige and Indy. Oh, you got Paige and Indy. Hi, girls. Hello to the trilogy. We love it. Melissa, what is your birthday?

Right, 6th of June, 1980. All right, that means you were 16 in 1996. And, Melissa, here's your birthday banger. California, California, California. Whoa. I like it. Get the lowrider out, Melissa. We're sitting on the side. California love. Oh, I like it. Get the low rider out, Melissa. California love.

And Dr. Dre. That's a good one, Mel. It definitely is. That's an education for your girls in the car, too. That's such a good song. Yeah. Wait there, wait there, wait there, Melissa. You're not going to believe this, but I'm actually torn.

You always vote Usher. You always vote Usher. I always vote Usher. And I stand by the fact that it's my favourite Usher song from my favourite Usher album. But I've got to go on the vibes of the day, and I feel like California Love is the song to pick today. Well, that's the song I'm voting for. Going with Melissa and the Trilogy.

I think we've got to do it. I think you're right. I think that's the vibe. Well done, girls. You just won birthday banger. Thank you. My girls are like, what a crisis. Yeah, tell your girls who's laughing now.

Mum just won birthday banger. They'll be laughing when they realise you know all the words to this too. Bryn, Clint, you're on ZM. Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint. The winner of Birthday banger today for Melissa from 1996

is Tupac and Dr Dre's California Love a song which our Gen Z producer Ella describes as sounding like it's from GTA

which I think is fair Grand Theft Auto and our producer Claudia said she thought was by Daft Punk so wow

sometimes birthday bangers are learning experience, you know? Sometimes we all learn something. And we learn that we are old. Brie and Clint. You may have heard about it. Brie's training for a big physical challenge this weekend. She's going to walk 50 kilometres in one day with Olympic icon Dame Susan Devoy. Yes, professional athlete and four-time world champion.

Look, I feel like she's got a bit more experience in this area. Is she going to piggyback you? You know what's so funny is I talked to her on the phone this morning and she goes, I've been actually training with a 50 kilo pack on my back because I thought I'm going to have to piggyback you. I said, maybe you want to add a few kilos to that pack. I imagine it's going to be, not that I don't have full faith in you, I imagine it's going

to be like those challenges on Celebrity Treasure Island, you know, where she was screaming at Maddie McLean to not give up. I feel like that's going to be you guys around the 30, 40 kilometre mark. Yeah, I think you're spot on. I don't have faith in me either, but I'm going to give it my best shot and it's for a great cause. You guys are raising money for women who have incurable breast cancer. Yeah, it's this amazing charity called Sweet Louise. They're a small New Zealand charity and I believe the only charity in New Zealand charity and I believe the only charity

in New Zealand that is dedicated to supporting those living with incurable breast cancer. They're amazing people and they help so many New Zealanders that are going through this. So the challenges all around, they started, it's called 50K in May and anyone can do it and you can do the 50 kilometers over the month or you can be silly like Dame Susan and I do it in one day. And look, we've already hit the 50 kilometer mark.

I think I've done around 70 Ks this month training. In training. Yeah. But, you know, doing it in one day, there's going to be some emotional points, I think. This is how I know Bree's committed to it, because she's gone out on the weekend and purchased an Apple Watch. I do this too. Whenever I'm in like a get fit mode, I go and buy the gear. I'm like, this will help.

This will make all the, if I have this technology or these shoes or this outfit, this will make all the difference. Well, it's something that I've wanted for ages because I always use it on my phone, but it's not accurate. Yeah, yeah. And so I was like, oh, all the gear, no idea. So they say the easiest way to increase your steps every day is to get an Apple Watch or a smart watch, a Samsung watch or a Fitbit, whatever it is. Yeah.

Because it gets all the steps that you miss when you don't take your phone, like if you get up out of your seat and you don't take your phone with you. So have you noticed an increase in your steps since you put the Apple Watch on? Oh yeah, heaps. Yeah, tons. I mean, I'm just getting up around

that 10,000 mark every day. Before you go to sleep, she goes, oh, closed my rings already. Only three o'clock. And then I heard her go, it's really easy when you just set the targets lower. I set all my targets low so then I don't feel bad if I don't achieve them.

What is your record? What's the most steps you've done in one day? Yeah, you asked me this before the show and I mean, this is going to sound bad because it should be more than this. But at the moment, the record, the data that I have, it's about 22,000 steps. Oh, yeah? In one day. That's pretty good.

Yeah, it's not bad. Yeah. Could be better. Yeah. It will be better. On Saturday, it'll be better. Well, that will be the record. Yeah.

I wonder how many steps 50Ks is. It'll be more than 50,000 steps. How many steps is 50 kilometres? What do you reckon it would be? Well, your stride won't be a full metre, so it'll be more than 50,000. So my record at the moment is 22,000 steps. That's the most I've ever done in a day,

according to my data. 50 kilometres would be around 65,000 steps. This is going to end so badly for me. Lucky you got yourself a new set of Essex gel Kayanos. I did. Because I've got these big blisters on my toes.

I want to know, this is just your chance to brag this afternoon. I want people to call in and brag what is the most amount of steps you've done in one day? Through your Fitbit, through your watch, through your phone, whatever it was. What's your record? What's your Everest? What is the amount of steps that you looked at and you were like, yeah, that's

a personal best. There'll be people that have done marathons and I wonder how many steps the Tongariro crossing is. I'd love to know that. Marathon will be less than 65,000 steps. It'll be less. Oh, this is making me feel worse. Because when you're running, your stride is longer. True. In a marathon, only

42k's. Maybe we should run it. Maybe we should just run it. Yeah, maybe. You know? Get it done quicker. Jump it. Yeah. Kim's here. Hi, Kimberley. G'day, Kim. Hello. Hi. Hi. What's your record? How many steps in a day, Kimberley? 56,600. Wow. What's your record? How many steps in a day, Kimberly? 56,600.

Wow. And Kim, why? What were you doing? I was walking the heafy track. Oh, okay. Can someone explain to me what that is? It's like a hiking trail. Right, okay. How long did that take you, Kim? I started quite early while it was still dark

because we'd stayed the night before. So I already had blisters. Oh my God. So I did that on blisters and then the next day I had to do another 17K, which was obviously on more blisters. Kim, did you at any point regret your decisions? I probably did. It was a while ago now, so I still do it. Do you think I can do this walk on Saturday, Kim?

It's 50 kilometres. Do you think I can get it done? Have you got one day or two? One day. Yeah, I think you can get it done. That was 40K that I did. Yeah, but that was hills and stuff. That's hills, yeah.

Uphill and downhill and over rocks and stuff. Piece of piss for you. You're walking on a footpath. Piece of piss, you reckon? Yeah, piece of piss. Let's go to Greg. Hi, Greg. Hi, Greg.

Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. Tell us, Greg, what's the most steps you've done in a day? So I did 57,400 in full firefighting kit. Oh, okay, Greg, now we're talking. Well, now you're making me feel bad, Greg. Do you have any spare firefighting kit that Bree could wear on the weekends? No, no, no, it's okay.

Mate, I could chuck anything on you you like. No. Get her in a big jacket and one of those oxygen tanks. No, I'll need oxygen. You might need the oxygen. I'll take the oxygen tank. Take the oxygen, you might need it, yeah. So what do you reckon, how long did 57,000 steps take you, Greg?

We actually did it for the Relay for Life. It was me and my daughter, so we walked six and a half hours each. Yeah, okay. Amazing. 12 hours, yeah. Okay, and what's your advice to Bree, who's going into it this weekend? She's never done that many steps. What's the number one piece of advice you've got?

Good shoes. Yeah, don't worry, Greg. I invested in some good shoes and expensive socks. And good undies, I reckon. I've still got blisters on my feet from it. Yeah. Wait, how long ago was it? It was only last month, I think.

Oh, right. Okay. I thought you were about to say it was about five years ago. Good man, Greg. Finally, Will's here. Will has cracked the 60,000 mark in Steps before. Haven't you, Will? G'day, Will.

I was just shy of 60, I think, but close enough. Yeah. How did you do it? How did you get up to that number? Well, we were visiting my wife's family in Bonn last month, and I ran a marathon, and then she was struggling, so I went and joined her and did the last 10K with her. You did a marathon plus 10Ks.

Will, Will, Will, you're one of those people that I always look at and I'm like, how? You're making us all look bad, Will. Just keep going. One foot in front of the other. Yeah, yeah, he was running. You're just walking. What's your best advice for me, Will?

What should I do to get this 50K done this weekend? Oh, you've just got to keep moving. It's when you stop that it starts getting hard when you're getting tired. So no rests, you reckon? Well, you see, when I'm running, I sometimes have to walk occasionally to take on food. Yeah, right.

I try not to stop. Just don't sit down. It's like, oh, I've got to get back up again and start moving. It just becomes... Bree said to me at lunchtime today that she wanted a lunch that didn't include bread because she was trying to be as light as she could for the walk.

What do you think of that nutritional advice in the lead up to the walk? Yeah, I'm not so sure about it. Yeah, I don't know if she needs carbohydrates. Look, Will, I'm an amateur. I'm just... Pick up some gels. Pick up some POMZ gels and have some of those occasionally.

I bought some of those. They're good stuff. I'm a professional now, Will. I got the socks, I got the shoes and I got the gels. You cannot exist off gels, okay? You can't. You will have liquid. You'll be gelling out the back end by halfway through the walk.

I'm going to document it. If you want to follow along, I'm going to put it all on my Instagram, at Bree Thomasel, on the day. This Saturday, I will give you updates because it's going to take us around 11 to 12 hours. And the link to donate is actually up there right now, so you can go click on that. The link's on my story right now. If you want to give a dollar, $10, every little bit helps.

So we really appreciate it. Yeah, good luck, mate. That's going to be awesome. I'll need it. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. So we really appreciate it. Yeah, good luck, mate. That's going to be awesome. I'll need it. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Speaking of concerts, Dean, what's the truth, if any, to these One Direction reunion rumours? Okay, here's the gas, right. So apparently the word on the street is that they're one direction. All of them have started their own WhatsApp group chat that they're kind of reconnecting. You know, it didn't end well. Remember Zane left and it all kind of fell apart.

But apparently they have kind of, you know, buried the hatchet. That's what the rumour is. They buried the hatchet. They're on the WhatsApp group and people are saying, does this mean they're going to be doing a reunion? I just want to be the bearer of bad news. I just want to be like the morbid one of the group because I've got to tell you, I don't think Harry Styles, the winner of the Grammy of Best Album,

is going to go and regroup with a group. They just don't do that. Like, he doesn't need to. He doesn't need to. That's not going to help his career at all. No. At all. If anything, it would, I don't know.

I just don't think he'll do it. Oh, careful, Dean. No, no, I know exactly what, you know exactly what Dean's saying. I know exactly what Dean's saying. No disrespect to the Directioners, but it would be a backward step for Harry at this point, wouldn't it? He's got to follow up that album. He's got to follow up that world tour. Absolutely.

And he's, you know, in a different part of his career now. He's kind of, I mean, past it a little bit. Also, do we's in a different part of his career now. He's kind of passed it a little bit. Also, do we need a One Direction reunion yet? He's a whole new brand. He's so not boy group anymore. No, he's not. But do we need a reunion? They only broke up in 2016.

It wasn't that long ago. It wasn't that long ago. No, Claudia's getting really angry at this, but Claudia, do you know what I mean? Do we need a reunion? Hold your tongue. Do we? I mean, it is pretty early,

but I say let's get the bloody sugar babes back together. I reckon they still are. I reckon they are together. Are they? What about all saints? Yeah, they're still together. Yeah, nice. I haven't ever felt so low.

See? Give the people what they want want All you can compare it to Is a Spice Girls reunion Which is the other thing That people so desperately want Which Spice Girl is Harry Which Spice Girl is Harry Styles Victoria

Really Because he's the most successful Yeah I'd have to say And the one who doesn't need it Is that why he's Victoria Yeah Yeah But she can't sing and he can sing.

Be careful now. Careful. There you go. Sorry to pour cold water on that, but the One Direction reunion rumours might be a little bit premature, according to Dean McCarthy. We don't do a lot of news about the Royals on this show,

but... Yeah, probably because of me. I'm not interested. Brie and Clint We don't do a lot of news about the royals on this show But Yeah, probably because of me, I'm not interested There's a bit of royal fatigue all over the place But this one is about Prince Harry And I feel like it could be kind of relatable Oh, really? Kind of I should be careful what I say here

There is a story out today Where Prince Harry Has been forced to address a rumour that he has a secret hotel room that he uses to escape his wife, Meghan Markle. Relatable, I know given the opportunity, my wife would jump at the chance to have a room, a place offsite where she could go to, quote unquote, escape me. And I think a lot of couples listening would jump at the opportunity to have a space

where they could have some alone time. They covered this in Sex and the City 2. Did they? It was probably the best part of that movie, to be honest. But it's where Mr. Big goes to Carrie's old apartment for two days a week. Okay.

And then for the rest of the time Just so they could have some alone time. Some alone time and he can do the stuff he wants to do. So she's moved into his apartment. No, so they live, so they're married. They live together. Yeah. But they still own her old apartment and she goes there sometimes to do some writing and stuff.

But he asked her, can I have two days and two nights off a week from our relationship? And then the other nights I'll be here for you for the quality time and we can do all the stuff that you want to do. But I can have some me time. Oh, my God. Dream. And you can have some you time. Yeah. What's the balance?

You're in a long term relationship, I'm married what's the right amount of days to spend together and to spend apart per week? Have you had access to a special facility like Carrie does on Six in the City or Prince Harry does? Say you're lucky enough to have two houses.

What do you think is the ratio? I mean, not relatable that people have two places. No, no, no, no. And I don't know how you would make this work because who could possibly have two houses? Yeah. But if there was some way of making this work. Just be happy to have one house at this point.

How many nights alone do you want is what it comes down to? I mean, I do like my alone time, but then I also get lonely. Well, your partner's a shift worker, so you get plenty of alone time. Yeah, I do from time to time. Whereas my wife never gets a break from me. What about you getting a break? I don't need a break. I actually don't need a break.

You don't need a break? No, I'm like a puppy who just wants to be around people. I'm going to say, I mean, one night a week would be nice. Yeah? Yeah, I think that's fine. Take one night a week? I think it's pretty. Just to slob out?

Yeah. Like, you know, eat stuff that you're not meant to and no one's there to, like, tell you not to or, you know, play your video games or watch a show that your partner doesn't like. It's not even a dodgy thing. It's just like. No, it's literally just to do whatever you would like to do.

And people who have kids don't have that luxury. No, and that's I think what it comes down to. If you don't have kids. You get a night off the kids as well. Yeah, yeah. Maybe you should float the idea with your wife. I mean, maybe not because it sounds like she'll jump at the chance.
