Yeah, she goes to me the other day. She's like, you know what I love about the podcast is I miss out on all the fluff and I just get to hear the chat. The fluff is the music. Yeah. We don't talk about those. We love those ads. No, no, I know. We love those ads. Yeah, that's why I didn't want to say they're fluff.

Because they're not. They're not. They're the meat in this meat and three veg. Speaking of this is kind of on the subject. Hilary Barry's Instagram bio I learned yesterday. It is, well, Lippy Suburban. What? Take a breath.

Good. Now go again. Okay, now go. I just need to exhale. All right. Lippy Suburban, mother of two, not open to influence, buy some advertising from TVNZ instead. Yeah, smart.

Which I thought was cool. That's good. What's that got to do with what we were talking about? Because we were talking about how ads aren't fluff. No, we'd moved on. We were talking about mums listening to podcasts on the website. That's right. Yeah, and that's why it was fluff that Mum and I missed out on.

Ian. You need to eat up on that. Sorry, there's actually, I've actually been putting some different oil in it and I just don't think it's working for me. You need to eat. You have some food in between sessions. Come on. Anastasia said something before.

All that listening paid off, Maddie. Brie and Clint. Yeah. My headphones have come out. Has the song finished yet? Yep, no, it's finished. Yeah. My headphones have come out. Is the song finished yet? Yep, no, it's finished. Yeah, it's done. Why don't radio presenters have wireless headphones yet?

It's 2021. Why don't we have earphones? Maybe we should invent them and then we'll make millions out of the not many people who do radio. I think that's the problem. No one's coming up with new technology for us. But DJs, wouldn't DJs like wireless headphones? Anyway, that's not the point.

Have you seen the riots that are currently going on in France? No, I haven't seen this. It's full on, man. Like people getting trampled. That's not good. Going mental. Violence. In the streets.

It's been reported worldwide that a discount on Nutella has led to scenes of absolute chaos in French supermarkets as shoppers jostle for a bargain. How big is the discount? So the discount is phenomenal. Yeah.

And I don't know why they've done it, but French supermarket Intermarché Supermarkets have discounted Nutella by 70%. why they've done it, but French supermarket Intermarché Supermarkets have discounted Nutella by 70%. Oh my god. Taking it from 4 euros 50 to Which is about 9 dollars.

Yeah, 1 euro 40. Whoa! Yeah, it's a decent discount. My god, there's videos of people literally fighting each other. People had to be called and people started pushing each other over. Someone who works in the supermarket said they are like animals. It's the new toilet gate. One woman had her hair pulled.

An elderly lady took a box of Nutella out of the store on her head. Another left with blood on her face. Have a listen to this. This is the French Nutella riots. It's out of control. Jeez. All for some discount Nutella. I'd hate to see if there was a discount on croissants.

Then she'd really get wild. Or baguettes. Or baguettes. Or baguettes. Look, get out of my way! If you were in a fight in a supermarket, the baguettes, the crusty baguettes would be good to go for. I would love nothing more than to have an actual food sword fight with a baguette. I think I'd say food fight in a supermarket. Oh my God, that too.

You either go for a crusty baguette or you go for a whole salmon. I go. Whack someone across the face with a whole salmon. I thought you were going to say what kind of baguette would you choose if it was a full-on sword fight, and I'd be like, I'd go for a sturdy sourdough, I think. Oh, right. Or a whole grain.

Sourdough's not very long. A sourdough baguette. Is that a thing? Yes. Is it? Yes. Is it? Yes.

Have you not done your research on baguettes? No, clearly not. They can turn anything into a baguette. I thought a baguette was a baguette. It's just a long piece of bread. Well, the more you know. Anyway, that's a warning to the major supermarkets in New Zealand. Don't discount Nutella because that's what will happen.

Last question. You know how people sometimes say Nutella? Oh, yeah. What's wrong with that? Don't know. Can't answer that one. I heard one of the craziest, wildest coming out stories the other day. Oh, yeah.

And, you know, with a coming out story, some can be really amazing and happy and some can be quite sad, depending on the situation. But this one, just crazy. Right. So the situation is that there was this guy and he was telling us this story and I think he's in his 30s now but he's like, you know,

back I knew from a really young age that I was gay. Yeah. And he was like, you know, my parents got divorced and it was quite a hard time. I think they got divorced when he was 15 so it was quite a bit of a hard time so it wasn't really something that I wanted to do because I was dealing with them getting a divorce yeah etc etc anyway um fast forward to when he's about 22 23 and his mom um has been dating someone else another guy um and she broke up with this guy, her boyfriend.

And he decided he would take her out for a walk and get her out of the house kind of thing. Sure, yeah. Anyway, so they got out of the house and they started having a walk around and, you know, he was like, I need to tell her. Like, I just need to tell her this is like massive weight on my shoulders and for me to start living my life to the fullest, I just need to have this, you know, off of my shoulders and I need to move past it. So they're on this walk and been walking around the block a few times

and he's trying to build up the courage to, you know, tell his mum. And finally he's like, you know, I'm just going to do it. I'm just going to do it. He's like, mum, there's something I need to tell you. And he goes, I'm just going to do it. I'm just going to do it. He's like, mum, there's something I need to tell you. And he goes, I'm gay. She goes, no way. I've been meaning to tell you something as well. I'm also gay.

What? Wait, what was she doing dating all these guys? Exactly. That's what she'd obviously like, you know. So she'd just come to the realisation after that last relationship ended too. Well, I don't know because I don't know them personally. But obviously, you know, maybe that's something she had known for a long time. And they're like, wait, let's call Dad.

Dad's like, guys, you're never going to believe it. I'm gay too. I'm not. No, I'm not gay. Guys, I've got to be honest. While I'm not gay, I just felt left out. So I just said that. it. I'm gay too. I'm not. No, I'm not gay. Guys, I've got to be honest. While I'm not gay, I just felt left out. So I just said that. I said I was gay.

Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Good for both of them. Like quite a nice moment. Sad that he had to go that long and was sitting on that for so long. And his mum was obviously didn't have a problem with it. Like he'd regret not telling her for so long, but kind of a cool way for it to come out.

I know. And then because they both like came out to each other at the same time They could hit the clubs together Oh that was way better than what I thought it was going to be When you were telling me the story What do you think it was going to be? I thought it was going to go years later His mum was dating a guy

And he went oh god I dated that guy No Bree and Clint Time for the latest From iHeartRadio This is the latest Live iHeartRadio This is The latest

Live from LA With Dean McCarthy He's just done an interview With Oprah Where Oprah specified He is not getting paid For this interview Which is weird

Because Oprah definitely Got paid for it But off the back of that Harry Styles Prince Harry Has gone and got a job Dean Harry Styles

Yeah he has Because you know Another thing he revealed during his Oprah interview was that they have been completely cut off financially from the royal family over in England.

So now they have to go. I don't think he's going to go and get like a regular job. Yeah, he's a Subway sandwich artist. That's where he's working. He's actually landed a job, though, and it's making international headlines. He will be the chief impact officer at a mental health firm called BetterUp.

And I'm not sure if you guys have heard about it overseas, but BetterUp, it's a big company. It's like a billion-dollar company, right? And they work with 300 of the biggest companies here in America, Chevron, you know, AT&T, Warner, and basically they provide coaching, counselling, and mentorship programs for 300 companies that are huge. So it's a massive, massive job. It's a really, really big deal. Oh, no, we just lost Dean. Essentially the gist.

I saw the story. It's quite cool because he's continuing on with the work he's done in the mental health space already. So it's a good job for him to get. Can you imagine, though, sitting down with Prince Harry 12 months in and he's there for his performance review? He's like, so I think I've earned a race. What do you think?

What do you think? I find it so interesting, like, the concept of them being cut off. Yeah. And it's kind of like, you know, if you want to make that relatable, it's like your parents, you know, cutting you off. Yeah. But it's still not the same. It's like you won lotto every year for the first 35 years of your life. And then next year you don't get to win lotto. But that's what I mean. It's like them getting cut off. It's kind of like, you know, we were still mooching off our parents. Oh, I see what you mean.

Yeah. You know what I mean? He's been cut off at 35. Yeah. It's about time. And he had to move out of home. Yeah, to live on your own two feet, Prince Harry. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles. Well, partly with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.

He had to go. Until he got cut off. Bree and Clint. I found the title of this article quite interesting. Caught my attention. It said, the salary that can buy you true happiness. Right. So I was like, okay, I want to see what that's about.

How much do I need to earn to be happy? How much of a raise am I asking for? Exactly. I deserve happiness. How much money should I am I asking for? Exactly. I deserve happiness. How much money should I be getting paid? It's quite interesting. This article is essentially about, you know, how much you have to earn, according to this article,

in certain countries to be happy. So how do they justify happy? Have they quantified that? Like no stress, is that what it is? No, who cares about that? All right, okay. I don't know. It doesn't say. justify happy? Have they quantified that? Like no stress, is that what it is? No, who cares about that? I don't know, it doesn't say. But it's got a list of the countries and the most

expensive countries to the least expensive. Would you like to know? Yep. Let's start with the least expensive. Topping the list and you only have to earn $8,768

per year to apparently be happy in this country. It's a little place in South America called Suriname. Oh yeah. And yeah, that's it. You can be happy for $8,000. That's what it says. Nice. That's the smallest one but let's

talk about the most expensive. Yeah. Because I hate to break it to everyone in the room slash listening. New Zealand is on the most expensive. It is bloody expensive to live in New Zealand. Once you look at house prices, rent prices, fuel prices. Not good. Coming in at number 10 is the United States.

Yeah. For one of the most expensive, where you have to earn, they say, according to this, $135,000 a year to be happy. Is it as a household or individually? I think this is individually. Wow, okay. Coming in at number 9 is Iceland at $138,000. Yeah.

Then we've got Japan at 138 as well. Then Denmark at 140. We're getting more. Norway, 147. I hate to break it to you guys. New Zealand coming in at number five. And the ideal amount of money to earn if you want to be happy, according to this study. $166,249 per year.

That's why there's so many happy doctors. Guys, on the bright side, $160,000 in New Zealand. That's what it says. On the bright side though, glass half full. At least we're not in Australia because they're number two at 174,000. Should we weigh in on another person's relationship?

Wait, do we know them? No. So there's no risk of us ever having any consequences for what we have to say? They're strangers. Great. Yeah, keen. So a woman has taken to Reddit to ask the community of Reddit some advice about her relationship. Sure.

Essentially she's gone on and she said, you know, at the moment I am a stay-at-home mum. I look after my two kids. I do all of the housework, the cooking, the cleaning, and I also do a lot of my husband's admin for his job. Right, okay. So she does a lot of the book work and she books appointments and flights. Sure. Yeah, she does bits and pieces.

She's acting as a PA. Pretty much. Anyway, her husband, who is a tradesman, said at the moment their earnings are going into a joint bank account. Yeah. But he wants to make it separate accounts. Okay. Which she would still have access to.

Right. For some reason. It doesn't say why, but he wants to make it into separate accounts. Yeah. Anyway. Does she have an income? Well, no. No.

Okay. I'm assuming no. No, it doesn't sound like it No, she's a stay-at-home mum But she could do stuff on the side We don't know She might have an extra business on the side Only fans Only fans, maybe

Anyway, her question to Reddit was Should I charge my husband a small fee to do his admin? She's like, there was a bit of a situation this week where he got really angry at me because he thought I hadn't done this certain work for him, which I told him that I had. He couldn't find it. And at the time I was trying to wrangle two kids

and I couldn't drop everything and, you know, organise this stuff for him. Yeah. She's like, so I thought I would start charging him a small fee, which meant for emergency things I would drop everything that I was doing and fix these problems for him. Sure, like a contractor. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. First of all, I just want to say that I believe you're moving into very murky territory when you start mixing business and family. I feel like this is quite common, though, in a lot of families. Sure, yeah. Like, you know, not completely mixing it, but where you do bits and pieces. But he's the one who's mixed it first by asking you to do his work for him

because, let's be honest, it's his work. It's his job. Exactly. She's doing her work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's doing the cooking. She's doing the cleaning. He blurred the lines first and then you start invoicing each other

because what's she going to do if he doesn't pay his invoices? Take him to the debt collectors? Maybe. Repossess his PlayStation? Or maybe actually. Or she'll just reach into his bank account that she has access to and pay herself.

To be honest, if he wants to split the finances, then yes, she should start invoicing him. Because he obviously isn't happy with the way that the money is being operated. And if she's doing... So that's fine. And you should have separate bank accounts then because then he can't complain. That's the beauty of separate bank accounts

is that your money in there is your money and no one can complain about what you do with that. Yeah, but is it his money? No, I'm talking for her. Oh. So if she gets a portion of money in there is your money and no one can complain about what you do with it. Yeah, but is it his money? No, I'm talking for her. Oh. So if she gets a portion of money in there, it's not up to him what happens to it. It's her money. I just feel like if you start going potato, potato

with money, if someone's at home looking after your children, as well as obviously their children, it's your money. It's their money. And that's what I mean by it's so risky mixing business and family because where does it stop? She should probably be like,

look, I've got you a few quotes from other people that do the amount of work I do. This is how much they charge. Yeah. So you can pay me that amount of money. Do you reckon anyone listening now does this, like charges their partner for things? That's an interesting question.

Like do you... Do you get paid a certain amount from their salary for doing, because essentially you're doing a certain amount of their job for them. Do you get paid by your partner and not in a dodgy way just is there something inside your relationship that means yeah. Do you keep the books for your partner and they pay you

a certain amount of their wage? Or do you have a set up where your finances aren't shared but they go okay you do all the housework, so I'm going to give you this much money of each week? I know. That makes me feel uncomfortable. It's really murky territory, eh?

Like it's really a grey area, but maybe it is out there. Do you have a situation like this in your relationship? Is it set up where one of you is the breadwinner, but the other person is doing all of the work at home and some of your admin. Yeah. Something like that. 0800 dial ZM. Tell us about your situation at home or you can text us on 9696.

Brianne Clint. Stay at home mum has taken to Reddit and has asked the community. Her husband is the breadwinner in the family, but she does a lot of his admin and his book work and all that kind of thing from home, as well as looking after the children full time, doing the housework, doing the cooking, doing the cleaning. And she has come to the conclusion, she's like, should I be charging my husband a small fee for doing part of his job? Well, she should because he wants to split the bank accounts up now.

Exactly. And so he wants to squirrel some of his money away. So she's like, all right, give me some of that money then. You can't have your cake and eat it too. We want to know, how does it work in your relationship? Are there relationships out there where you actually get paid by your partner for something that you do for them or for the relationship? Anna's called up.

Hi, Anna. Hi. How does it work? So I do the monthly invoicing and accounts and tax returns for my husband's company, but I don't charge him. You don't charge him? No. Right.

The way I see it is that I benefit from his company succeeding. I'm also a qualified accountant, so if I don't charge him, you know, that's less cost to have the company, the more money he makes. Yeah, he's getting a good deal too. But correct me if I'm wrong, Anna, isn't it a good thing for tax purposes if you do technically bill him? Oh.

You know? Yeah, technically, but at the end of the day, it's his profit as well. And it's going, don't look too close at the books. But you guys share the profit from the business, right? It's not like it's in his account and you can't access the money. Well, it's different because it's the company and the company pays him, but then our financials are all joined together.

That's what I mean. Right, so you share your money. It's not like his money and your money. Yeah, good. Yeah. Good, okay. Well, don't charge him then because then you'll probably be richer than him. Yeah.

And I mean, unless he's hiding money in the business account, which I'm totally sure he's not. Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Bec. Hi. Hi, how does it work in your relationship? Where's the money going? Who gets the money?

How do you control it? Yeah, so we run our business together. We have done for a number of years. And no, I absolutely pay myself. I have two young kids that I'm studying. I love that, Bec. And how much did you decide you're worth? More than what my husband probably thinks I am.

Wow. I do payroll too. So, yeah, no, I absolutely. And we've got separate accounts that we can access each other's as well. Does he know how much you get paid? I think he does, yeah. He doesn't really care

because, I mean, as long as the business is profitable. Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah, fair enough. Good. It sounds like you guys have got a good system and so long as one of you is in charge of it, then it's going to work.

Yeah, it works. Yeah, good. Which now that we're talking about it charge of it, then it's going to work. Yeah, it works. Which now that we're talking about it, Bec, and you can comment on this as well, if you are doing like actual work where you're doing, you know, then you should technically be paid no matter, you know, who it's from. Yeah, exactly.

Exactly. And it's like you were talking to the one before, you know, it's all going through correctly, it's all through the books. you know, it's all going through correctly. It's all through the books. You know, it's going to come into our pocket at one way or another. Yeah. Whether you do it through payroll and pay your tax that way

or whether you wait and pay it out of income tax. Yeah. Because if you have joint accounts, technically, you're just paying yourself, you know? It's very confusing. It's been a very confronting conversation for all the tradies out there who are hoping to get an accountant for a girlfriend. They're like, you mean I have to pay her?

Shut up. Shut up. It's the saying that, you know, it's the game that the saying was written about when they said. No, you can pull this one back. No, come on, mate. Yeah, you got this. They wrote the saying about this game when they said,

you either love it or you hate it. Crushed it. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... I've told you this and I say it as your friend. Just say, hey, I think Google's down because that's the core of the game. No, but people don't... You're trying to reinvent. No! But people don't, they like it.

You're trying to reinvent the wheel every week. I know, people like it, they appreciate it. I think the wheel exists and we're good with it. 9696, do you appreciate the effort? You know what I missed the most when Brie was gone? Because you would just say, Google's down. Oh, right. This is not a referendum on me. I asked him, I was like,

can I do the Brie thing? Can you do a bit of fun, you know, a bit of spice? Welcome to the game to find New Zealand's greatest Googler. me. I asked him. I was like, can I do the briefing? Can you do a bit of fun? You know, a bit of spice? Welcome to the game to find New Zealand's greatest Googler. We play it every week. And Anastasia was taken down last week for the first time. She was. I listened back to the audio. I think that I did win, but we'll give the chicken dollars away to the last one.

I thought she was going to be humble then and say, I did think that I lost. Oh, sorry. She goes, no, I did think I won. No, I did win. Ed, today it's your job to take Anastasia down. Are you up to the job? I will give it a crack. Come on, Ed.

No, we need more enthusiasm, more passion to take this villainess down. Say, eat my dirt, Anastasia. Eat my dirt, Anastasia. Yes, that's better. Ed, what are we Googling on, a phone or a computer? Just a phone. All right, everyone here better. Ed, what are we Googling on, a phone or a computer? Just a phone. All right, everyone here in the studio, get out your phones. There will be no Googling on laptops.

The rules are I will read out a question which I want you to Google. The person who yells out first the most common answer that comes up on Google for that question will get a point. First of three points will take home Google down this week. Got it. Right, you got that, Ed? Yeah. So when you have the answer, scream it out.

All right, you can have a straight guess, but if you are wrong, you are out of that question. Here comes question number one. How far is the sun from Earth? Start Googling. 149, 14 kilometres. I'm going to say Ed, first person in to get that. What did Ed say?

Well done, Ed. He finished and you can go back and listen. Just finished just before you did, Anastasia. What do you think, Clint? Who do you think got it? I was still typing son, so I was busy. All right, one to Ed. Nice work.

Question number two. How much is one kilo of gold worth in New Zealand today? Start Googling. One kilo. $2,460.69. No, it's $78,810.63. It is right. Ed, whoa. You've,810.63. Ed is right. He's not.

Ed, whoa. You've gone one gram, have you, Anastasia? No, I've gone one ounce. One ounce. And then tripped you up there. Wow, Ed, you really... Ed, you really did well today. How much for a 50 bag?

Who knows? Ed, you could take it all here. All right? You've already got two. I think this is unheard of, but like we've seen, Anastasia has come back before. All right, question number three. In feet, how tall is Lady Gaga?

5'1". 5'1". Anastasia! Damn it! 1.55 metres. Nice, mate. Damn it! Ed, you just missed out on that.

One to Anastasia, two to Ed. This is a good game. Question number four. I think at this stage Ben and I are out. Yeah, we can sit out. It's happy. I'm happy to do that. We don't have any points.

You guys sit out. It's clearly between Anastasia and Ed. All right. Question number four. Who won the Rugby League State of Origin Series in 2006? I'm going to say Queensland. Queensland. It's done it.

Oh, the catcher. Wait. Are we sure that wasn't New South Wales? Trust me. Yeah, no, I took a guess and I'm actually wrong if I'm honest. Are you wrong? Yeah, I'm wrong. Oh, controversial. I took a guess and I'm actually wrong if I'm honest. Are you wrong? Yeah, I'm wrong. Oh, controversial.

I Googled it. It's in ESW. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, no, she's been questioned. Queensland won the series 2-1 in their first outright series victory since 2001. Ed, possibly our greatest caller ever to play Google Down. You've taken home the 50 KFC chicken dollars.

Oh, awesome. Thank you. Anastasia didn't want to lose so badly, she tried to rewrite history. Oh, she was like, yeah. I love how Ed even said, I don't think they won. Yeah, you even convinced Eddie was wrong. Yeah, she was like, yeah. I love how Ed even said, I don't think they won. Yeah, you even convinced Eddie was wrong. Yeah, she was like, I think you're right. I've never watched it.

The first thing that comes up on Google says New South Wales. Of course it bloody does. They're always rigging it. Conversation the other day, you and I, Clint, where you sparked an interesting memory for me. And it was the memory of all the times I worked for my father

where he said he promised he would pay me, but he never did. Yeah, classic dad move. You know, because I never got pocket money. My dad said, you know, if you want pocket money, you can come work on the apple farm and I'll pay you. You can earn your keep. Yeah, and I'll actually pay you an hourly rate. And I thought that was the best thing ever.

And I fell for it probably four or five times and did quite a lot of work. This afternoon, I think it's time I use the debt collector, which is going to be you, to call my father and ask for the money back. Know how, can do. All right. Leave it with me. Hello? Oh, hi.

Sorry, I'm trying to reach Stephen. Is that Stephen Thomasel? No, this is Mama Di Clint. Who's Clint? Mum. Mum, just play along with it, okay? Am I that obvious? Just play along with it. Just play along. Oh, I? Am I that obvious? Just play along with it.

Just play along and just go, oh, I'll just go and get him for you. Clint, now. Okay, I'll just go in and go, all right, all right. I'll just go in and go, okay. I'll just get him for you. Okay. Thank you, thank you. Hello, Stephen speaking.

Hi, is that Mr. Thomas L? Yes. Hi, sorry, I apologise. I've come through to your wife's phone accidentally. It's Richard here from the New Zealand Inland Revenue Department. How are you? Clint, how are you, mate? No!

Damn it, Clint! No! What do you mean? I hire you to do one job for me. Can you just play along? That was hopeless. This is prime time in our show. Can you just play along with me for a second?

All right, no worries. Yeah, so it's Richard here from Inland Revenue. Yeah, start again. It's Richard from Inland Revenue. We've got information that you had some illegal labour working on your apple farm in the 2000s. Richard, look, that's a bit of a shocking allegation. I put it to you that your daughter

worked over 40 hours a week some weeks and was paid absolutely nothing in return. What say you? The 40 hours is probably right and the paying nothing, that's definitely correct.

And rightly so. Right. Well, by today's calculation, 40 hours times minimum wage is $800 times, let's say she worked for you for 52 weeks. You owe Bree $41,000. I'd expect some interest on that too, please, Dad. No worries.

I'll take it off the bill. I think you owe me about $650, isn't it? All right, got to go, Dad. See you. Bye. See you, Dad. Lovely to talk. Bye.

Change for mine. See ya. I think that went quite well, don't you? Yeah, See you, Dad. Lovely to talk. Bye. Change for mine. See ya. I think that went quite well, don't you? Yeah, that went so well. Oh, that's good on the face. Kia ora. I'm Simon Bound and I host Business is Boring, a podcast that reckons it's anything but. Join me each week as I chat with some of the most interesting

which I thought was a really good question. They said, tell me something that you loved as a kid, but you hate as an adult. And it's something that should evoke memories. Oh my God, I did used to love this thing, but now it's the biggest pain in the ass. I'll give you some examples from the Reddit thread. What are some examples?

Getting mail. When you were a kid, getting mail was the most exciting thing because it was going to be like a birthday card or some money from your nan or something like that. These days, it's a bill or a speeding ticket or a letter to say your rego's out. I would have to disagree with this one

because that's why I buy so much online is to counteract the amount of crappy things that come in the mail. Okay, that's not mail. That's different. What? That's a package. I'm talking about when you get a letter in the mail. Yeah, but's not mail. That's different. What? That's a package. I'm talking about when you get a letter in the mail. Oh.

Yeah, but yeah, yeah, that's right. Technically, package is mail. Yeah, okay, all right. Yeah, I'll give you that one. But I see what you're saying. Things that you loved as a kid but you hate as an adult, spinning in a circle a couple of times. Nah, that's still pretty fun.

Maybe when you're a kid and you're like, whoa, I'm going to get so dizzy. And now if I go around more than twice, I'm like, I need to sit down. I need to rest. I feel ill. Things you liked as a kid but hate as an adult growing up. When you're a kid, you're like, yay, another birthday.

Yeah. And now that you're an adult, you're like, oh, another birthday. Yeah, not again. The thought of having a job. Do you remember how exciting the idea of having a job was when you were a kid? And now you wake up and you're like, oh, I have to go to my goddamn job. Do you remember how exciting the idea of having a job was when you were a kid? And now you wake up and you're like, oh, I have to go to my goddamn job. Even if you've got a good job that you love,

when you wake up you're like, oh, man, I'd love to not go to my job today. You'd still rather be at home some days. Yeah. Emails, the same as mail. I feel like that is the best one. Yeah. When you were a teenager and you set up a Hotmail account,

you'd sit there and you'd wait for an email to come in. Totally. And you're only getting emails from your friends. Awesome. Now it's something you have to do for work. Or again, a bill. Swimming in a public pool. Oh, that was so fun as a kid.

And now when you're there, you're just like. When's the last time you swam in a public pool? Like actually. Would it be 2018 when you and I filmed that mermaid video? Yes, that's when it would be. Was that the last time you went in a public pool? Yep, and I'm pretty sure I saw a turd at the bottom. Now the only people who go in public pools are people who are training for a swimming contest,

people who are there with their kids for swimming lessons, and old people doing aqua jogging. And can I say I'm so excited to reach aqua jogging age. I reckon aqua jogging looks very fun. And very low impact. Yeah. That's the point I think. Things you loved as a kid but you hate as an adult, spending the night at someone else's house.

Oh yeah, that was good. To be honest, although it depends on whose house you're spending the night at. Yeah, if it's a nice house then bring it on. No, I meant more like if you're having an adult. Oh, yeah, that was good. To be honest, although it depends on whose house you're spending it at. Yeah, if it's a nice house, then bring it on. No, I meant more like if you're having an adult sleepover. Even then, it's uncomfortable being in someone else's house at night time. To be honest, like once there does come time to sleep, I'd much rather go home because no one has good pillows.

No. That's my biggest qualm. And you don't always feel comfortable asking for another blanket. Yeah, and then you always worry about your breathing and you're like... And you're like, breathe quieter. Making new friends as an adult sucks. Making new friends as a kid, awesome.

Talking on the phone as an adult sucks. I hate it. Talking on the phone as a kid, awesome. Talking on the phone as an adult, sucks. I hate it. Talking on the phone as a kid, awesome. Facebook as an adult, sucks. It's just your racist uncle posting conspiracy theories. Facebook as a kid, cool, I'm on the internet. And the last one that was on the list of things that were awesome as a kid but suck as an adult,

those chocolate coins that have got the gold wrapping on them. So exciting. So exciting as a kid but suck as an adult. Those chocolate coins that have got the gold wrapping on them. So exciting. So exciting as a kid. As an adult, some of the worst chocolate I think that is available. Is it even chocolate? I don't think it is. It tastes like metal. It tastes like metal.

It does. The metal is leaked into the chocolate. Is there anything we have missed? Anything that needs to be added to the list that sucks as an adult that was good as a kid? Yes, produce Anastasia. Yeah. You can't contribute to this because you're still a child.

I'm an adult. Alexa, what time is birthday banger? 5.30. The same time every day. Duh. I was just asking. Don't miss it today with ZM3 and Clint. Yeah, good, everybody.

Show's brought to you by KFC. You can get the KFC app today for the hottest delivery deals. Clint, you know how we always keep a track of the text machine? Yeah. What's coming through. Someone's texted us and they said, Hi, guys. Love your show.

Appreciate that. Need to know the quickest route from Flagstaff to Jet Park at the airport, please. Many thanks, Liz. Well, we don't usually do traffic updates or directions. But, I mean, should we give her a call? We do like to help out. To be honest, she's taken the time to text the show. She has.

So it feels like the least we can do. Let's see if she answers. Also, why is she trying to go to Jet Park? Has she got COVID-19? Liz. Hello. Hello, Liz. It's Bree and Clint calling from ZM.

Hi. Hi, we got your text. You're looking for some directions from Flagstaff to Jet Park. I know how to get there. It's just I have to be there by 6 o'clock. All right, Liz. I'm new to the area. Oh, okay. I'm on the case, Liz. I'm new to the area. Oh, okay.

I'm on the case, Liz. I've done some research. I can see where the traffic is. Are you ready? Yes. All right, Liz. So this is the situation, all right? So you need to be there by 6.30.

Don't worry. Just calm down. You've got plenty of time, all right? If you take State Highway 20, you need to go via State Highway 20 because if you go via State Highway 1, that's going to take you an hour and a half to get there. But if you take via State Highway 20, an hour and three minutes. What if I just go down Waikeria Road?

Yeah, that might work. Liz, can I ask why you're trying to get to Jet Park? Have you got COVID? No. No? Well, why are you going to the Jet Park? Why are you being all... Because I work there.

Because what? Oh, you work there? She works. Oh, right. Well, we appreciate your service. Did that help out, Liz, or not really? Not really, but it was really nice to talk to you. You're the only station I listen to.

I think you're great. Oh, bloody love you, Liz. Thank you for the message. We'll call you back in an hour just to see how you're getting on, all right? Okay. All right, have a good shift. Talk soon, Liz. And that is part of the wraparound service that the Bree and Clint show offers.

No other radio station will call you and tell you how to get to work. That's a Bree and Clint show guarantee. Just try and, you know, go above and beyond. Bree and Clint. I want to talk neighbour fights because I feel like, you know, when you're living in close proximity to people you generally don't know,

you can have arguments about things. You can. It's very stressful to have tension where you live. Like, it's really stressful to have a fight with someone that you literally have to live next to Because you can't leave the situation You're already at home Yeah exactly

Remember the time you had a fight with your close two neighbours? I did not You did remember? Did I? You were a bit angry because they were setting off fireworks And you were like can you guys shut up? Oh yeah yeah yeah No lucky that was four doors down

Right And I apologised the next day. Because you lost your cool a little bit. Yeah, okay, look, I just had a baby, all right, and I wasn't thinking straight, and I yelled at them for letting off fireworks at 8.30. I can see it from your side. I can see it from their side.

But you were tired. My justification, my cats are upset. My cats are really tired. I want to read out this note that was left on, this was in an apartment building. So you have a lot of neighbours when you live in an apartment building. And someone left this note in the common room laundry room of this apartment building.

Someone said, to the person who stopped the washer in the middle of my wash cycle and took my clothes out just to wash yours, you're an absolute a-hole. And then it says, unfortunately for you, so am I. You can find your wet clothes frozen outside in the snow. Any problems, come see me in room 301. Power move. How much of a power move is that?

Whoa. There's another neighbourly fight that I found where the battle started out with one neighbour leaving a note and it said Dear 402, your dogs woke me up every night this week at 4am. Please silence your hounds from hell. And then 403 wrote back and they said, I think it's all of that marijuana smoke coming from your apartment

that's waking and baking my dogs. Sod off, apartment 402. To be honest, if your dogs were inhaling marijuana smoke, Shelley, they'd be a bit more chilled out. Yeah, you'd think so, wouldn't you? I'm like, can we get some more biscuits? I had a fight with one of my neighbours one time and this was a legitimate fight. one of my neighbours one time.

And this was a legitimate fight. So when my brother and I lived together in Brisbane, we were living in a townhouse complex. So there was four townhouses in the complex. And for the complex, everyone had a car park for the garage. Everyone had a garage that they could park their car in. And then there was two other parks on the property for visitor parking. There was one right next to our townhouse and then one park right next to unit number one.

But they were just for anyone. It was visitor parking. No one owned them. Anyway, my brother and I started parking our car sometimes in the spot near number one. And the lady who lived in unit number one was like, can you not park in my car park, please? And we go, this isn't your car park, it's visitor parking. She goes, no, it's next to my apartment.

It's my car park. Anyway, it was back and forth, and then we ended up just letting her have it because it was just not worth it. No visitor car park situation has ever ended well in a shared situation. They shouldn't exist. They shouldn't exist.

They shouldn't exist. Tell the visitors to walk because it's only ever going to cause massive fights. Like, I've seen punch-ups over visitor car parks before. Unless you're willing to hire a full-time security guard to look after the two visitor parks. Yeah, yeah, or a tow truck. Then just let it go. We want to know this afternoon, what was your fight

with your neighbour about? What went down? Why did everything come to a head over? How big was it? How small was it? Might have been the smallest thing in the world, but we want to know. 0800 DIAL ZM, or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. Did you have a stoush with the neighbours?

Probably the worst people to fight with because you want to go home and relax. You don't want to be thinking about anything when you're at home. And you don't want a flaming bag of dog turd on your doorstep. No. Nobody wants that. Also, these things happen. So we want to hear about it on 0800DIALZM. Pro tip, if you do ever find a flaming bag on your doorstep, water.

Because it's flaming so that you stomp on it, and that's what the dog turds for. Do you reckon people actually do that? I don't know. I hope not. It's a fire hazard more than anything. Yeah, it is a fire hazard. And also a hot dog turd.

No idea. No matter what they've done, nobody deserves that. Tanya's here. Kia ora, Tanya. Hi, Tanya. Hi, guys. How are you going? Good, thanks, mate. What happened

with you and the neighbours? So I had my neighbour come over one night I had actually just got home from work and was in the shower and then heard bashing on my back door and was like, what's going on? Is someone dying? Threw a towel around me, went out to open the door to be told by

my old and confused neighbour that my cat was knocking on her back door at four o'clock in the morning. Right. So she'd come over to give you a taste of the cat's medicine? Is that what it was? Well, I'm not too sure about what she was trying to do, but she was very hell-bent on trying to tell me that I need to control my cat because he's knocking on her door.

So I politely told her that I'm quite impressed, actually, because my cat is inside every night and sleeps on my bed with me. And the fact that he's learned to knock on doors was pretty impressive. That's even more impressive, yeah. So, yeah, I have a cat that knocks on doors. There you go. Are you still living next the cat that knocks on doors. There you go. Are you still living next door to that neighbour? No, no.

Well, that's a plus. She moved and then I ended up moving about a week later. Yeah, there you go. All right, good. I'm glad that one was resolved peacefully. Eloise is here. Hi, Eloise. Hi, guys.

How are you going? Good, thanks, mate. What went down between you and the neighbours? So, I was living on Castle Street in Dunedin, and I was in a flatting complex, and it was recycling day, so we all put our recycling bins out, and the next day

I go to go get my recycling bin, and mine's gone, but the neighbours are still sitting there full of rubbish, full of recycling, but the company hadn't taken it because it was full of rubbish. So anyway, I wasn't happy. I went round to their complex and I just went off. Yeah.

And I just wasn't happy about it. And then after that, because they live behind us, so it was pretty awkward every time they walked past our flat looking into the window. I don't imagine there are any good neighbours on Castle Street. Like, you can't move into Castle Street going, oh, what a lovely neighbourhood. I don't imagine there are any good neighbours on Castle Street. Like you can't move into Castle Street going, oh what a lovely neighbourhood. I can't wait to move into such a quiet street. Yeah, and Castle Street

underneath it, I think recycling bins you basically need to chain yours to the front fence. Just give them enough room that they can tip it into the truck. But after that, there's that many bottles that people will be trying to get rid of on that street. Put some skip bins in the street and then call it a day, I say. Well, that's the thing.

It's hard enough getting rid of your rubbish as it is. Yeah. The council should do something for Castle Street where they collect the recycling every day. Oh, my God. Just face it and just take the hat. You should have started a company where you just go and collect everyone's stuff. You would have made a fortune. Someone texted through on 9696 and they said, this is so good.

They wrote, my neighbour always parks in the shared driveway so we can't get our car to the car park. Does renovations to his house late at night and winds up our dog through the fence. He now wants to do an extension on his property and needs our permission as it's a cross-lease. Good luck. Oh, yeah.

Oh, I love stories like that. It's like karma. Yeah. Justin, finally, Neighbours at War, what's going on? Hey, so it wasn't really with me. It was my father. And the Neighbours had spent all this money redoing their house to make it look amazing

because they wanted to sell it and kind of make it like their retirement nest egg. Yeah. But my dad's a prolific hoarder. And so the house was such a terrible condition that the real estate agents were like, this is going to cost you money in the valuation. Yeah.

And he was told that it was cost about 100 grand off the price of the house. Whoa. Yeah. Because my dad's house, which was like looked into, was so bad. Yeah. Right.

So did your dad, did he see reason? Did he clean up the house or how did it get resolved? It went on for about five, 10 years. I love that you're calling up and you clearly acknowledge that your dad is in the wrong here. Because at first I was like, you'd be on your dad's side, but you're not, are you? My dad's an a-hole. No. No, no, no.

Because he purposely vetted this guy. Like, we cleared out all the shrubbery from the lawn, but he purposely kept this tree that was bigger than the house that was right bang in front of their brand new balcony that they built. Justin Abroff. Justin. The thing was, the tree was dead. It had literally not a single branch on it. Not a single leaf. It was essentially

just like a 35 metre high stick. You can't get rid of it. You never know when you'll need it. There's one last text I need to read after this. Yeah. And it says, I had the neighbour from hell in uni. She would cook curry and rinse her pots and dump all the dirty dishwater

over our fence. We had enough one day so me and my partner blasted adult movies over her TV via Chromecast when her conservative mother was staying over. That'll do it. Yes, I applaud you. Bree and Clint. Hey, it's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, three people's birthdays. What was number one on their 16th? Well, we'll find out and we'll play the best one in full. Hi, Paisley. Welcome to the show. Hi, Paisley.

Kia ora. Kia ora. I love your name, Paisley. Very cool. Thank you. What's your birthday, mate? 24th of December, 1990. All right, you were 16 in 2006 on the 24th of December.

I bet you get joint presents. And here's your birthday banger. You must not know about me. You must not know about me. I could have a life. Queen B, irreplaceable. He'll be here in a minute, baby. You must not know about me.

What do you think about that? Are you a Beyonce fan, Paisley? I am a bit of a Beyonce fan, yeah. And that's the one that plays regularly. She comes back to New Zealand after COVID. One of my biggest regrets is not seeing her in concert. Have you never seen Beyonce live? Well, the time when she was touring,

I was living in Australia and I was a student and I couldn't afford $300 and something. Oh, it was too expensive, eh? It was crazy. Have you seen her, Paisley? No, I haven't, but she would be incredible. Yeah. I never really got the Beyonce hype

until I saw her live and I was like, oh, oh my God. I get it. She's the greatest performer alive. She's pretty amazing. Yeah. Let's keep going to Jason.

Hey, Jason. G'day, Jase. Hi, how are ya? Good, mate. How are you? Yeah, not too bad, thank you. That's good. What's your birthday, Jase?

The 9th of February, 1991. Right, you were 16 in 2007 on the 9th of February. And back in 2007, this had a number one hit. I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet, it's fine, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be,

I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be,

I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, I like to be, And with one of the most annoyingly high voices of the millennium, Mika and Grace Kelly. Do you like it? It's not a bad one. It's interesting, eh?

because I've kind of stopped putting things on Facebook. They're memories. No, I know, but 10 years from now, I'll still be getting the same ones because I think kind of stopped putting things on Facebook. Yeah, they're memories. No, I know, but 10 years from now, I'll still be getting the same ones because I think about three years ago, people our age kind of stopped putting everything on Facebook. I feel like that is happening, but you know, that's the world we live in

and we will move on and we will get through it. We'll get through it. We'll be okay. But the memory We'll have to rely on our actual memories. I know, right? The memory that popped up on my Facebook page today was from 2012 and it said this.

The bottle of gin was the best idea we've ever had. And it's me and I've tagged two of my friends in this post. Do you remember what it's about? I do remember what it's about and I'd like to share that story with you and everyone listening right now.

Okay, you're going to do a Facebook memory in real life. Yes. The year was 2012. Oh, that's going way back. 2012, we're there. I was with my mates Ali and Amy. We were out one night at a bar. These people come up to us, we start chatting.

They start talking to us about what's happening on the weekend. I'm pretty sure one of them was flirting. Anyway, we end up getting one of their numbers. Nice. A couple of days later, about three days later, it was me, Ali, and Amy, and we're all sitting at my house having a few drinks. It's when Ali says to me, should we go to that housewarming that those people that we randomly met the other night have invited us to? Right. And I was like, oh, I don't know. We don't know them.

No. And why would we turn up to the housewarming? Yeah. And they were like, oh, it's fine. We'll just have a few drinks and it's just down the road. We can walk there. And I thought, that sounds like a great idea. A party, it's just down the road we can walk there. And I thought, that sounds like a great idea.

A party, it's just down the road. Perfect. So as the night went on, we had quite a few drinks and as we were about to leave, I said to my friend Amy, we can't turn up to a housewarming without a gift. No, it's bad etiquette. It's rude. So we all panicked. We didn't have anything Because we were students and poor

And it's when my friend Ali said Guys I just finished The bottle of gin That I bought back from Judy Free It's a one litre bottle Let's just fill it up with water

Put the lid on And take it down and they'll never know that it was us. That's worse than no gift. You're going to give them a bottle of water that you're pretending is gin. Anyway, we decided, you know, with a few drinks under our belt that it was a great idea. So we filled it up with water and off we went down the road. When we turned up to this party, these people didn't really remember us

but we kind of blended in because there was, you know, lots of people there. Sure. So we had a pretty good time. My friend Amy at one point went into someone's room, got a ukulele, and she started playing songs to people. Really making yourself at home. That's good. On the ukulele.

It was at the point where we all were about to leave to go out to the clubs, and it's when we ran into the owner of the home who we'd already met and he goes, should we do a shot to end the night? And all I could see out of the corner of my eye was this giant bottle of gin. Yeah. And I looked at Ali and she looked at me and we went, oh, no, we're going to be found out here. And that's when we made the decision to pick up the bottle of gin and profusely scull as much as we could of, obviously, it was water.

Yeah. But they didn't know that. But he thought it was one litre of gin. He thought it was one litre of gin. He thought it was one litre of gin. Her and I sculled the entire bottle of water and this guy legit thought we were batshit crazy. Yeah. So would I.

We never went back. Yeah. Oh, really? That was not a lifelong friendship? But they never found out that it wasn't Jen. He's like, that was meant to be a gift for me. What you doing?

I told you before that I've got a warning story for anyone who lets their cat sleep on their bed. Now this is a story, okay, alright. This is a story that I came across today and it's a little bit long, but I feel like I need to read all the details so you know how it happens, okay?

The title of the story is Man Dutch Ovens His Cat. Right. This is how it goes. This all happened in approximately five seconds. It's a lazy Sunday morning, and I'm chilling in bed a bit longer than normal. My cat, approximately 12 weeks old, is somewhere, As you do. Better let her rip And thus began my morning from hell The instant I rumbled the mattress I felt a mass rush up under the blankets Unbeknownst to me

My cat was laying under the blankets Near but not touching my feet He must have heard the thunder down under And panicked It's important to note That when I make my bed I tuck the blanket beneath the mattress It's a holdover from my days in the army Oh no. It's a holdover from my days in the army.

Well, unfortunately for all involved, the blanket was still tucked on the side of the bed that the cat was laying under. The poor baby had no way to escape the gas chamber. This poor cat. Probably choking to death, my cat began to try and dig his way out. Not through the blanket,

oh no, right through my back. He clawed and bit so hard that he started to draw blood. Now we're both panicking and I rip the blankets off as fast as I possibly can. A little too late for him as he now has post-traumatic

stank disorder. And too late for me as I now look like I fought a very disgruntled family of raccoons. He leapt from the bed and turned to give me the dirtiest look I've ever seen before, sauntering to the bathroom

where he remains as I type this story. That is so horrific. Can you imagine being that poor cat and you're only 12 weeks old? You've probably never heard that sound before. The sound? Forget about the sound. Who cares about that?

What about the smell? The smell's interesting. You're stuck. Can you imagine? You probably have never smelt a fart before as a 12-week-old cat. You wouldn't know what was going on. You'd be like, there's no escaping this. Yeah, and for the guy as well,

because you'd think he'd feel safe to do that in his bed by himself. But now, watch your back, bro. Literally. Please be up standing for news about Her Royal Majesty the Queen. She's got new dogs, everybody. Okay, my first question. Are they corgis? Oh, good question.

Yes-ish. Are they mixed? They're mixed. About time. Yeah, so just before Christmas, the Queen's last corgi, Vulcan, died. That's a cute name. He was a dashened cross corgi. So half sausage dog, half corgi.

Cute. And she'd been with the Queen. Well, Vulcan had been with the Queen since 2007. Pretty old. Just before Vulcan died, someone close to the Queen said she wouldn't be getting any more corgis. Once these ones passed, she wouldn't be getting any more corgis. I remember reading that story. Because they said that she didn't want to leave any dogs behind when she passed away. Isn't that a sad thought to have to think about?

Yeah, you get to that point in your life where you're like, my dog could outlive me. Yeah, well, screw it. Forget it. Because the queen has new dogs. Now you say dogs, plural. Fergus and Mewick have joined the royal family. Fergus is a doggy, a cross between a corgi and a dachshund. Cute. And Mewick, he is, what is Mewick?

Straight corgi. He cost $5,000. Oh my God. And he is named after a lake in Scotland. Fergus, by the way, is named after, this is totally superfluous, but he's named after the Queen's uncle, Fergus Bowes Lyon, who died in World War I in 1915. So she's been holding on to that name for a long time.

She's been wanting to use it. Finally, I've got a name for him. I'm going to name my dashing corgi after him. Here's my question. Obviously, the Queen always had corgis. She's got new ones. I recently have gotten dogs, so I know what puppies are like yeah do you think it is lizzie who's cleaning up the poos and grabbing them with the plastic bags when she's out you know what i weirdly do think it is her because i think do you really think yeah do you

think the queen is putting the bag inside out onto her hand and picking up the big dog turd. And carrying it. And she's carrying it around. Until she gets to someone else's wheelie bin. I can't see Lizzie doing that. The dogs are very cute, by the way. The Queen must have done crazy things for corgi sales over the years, right? Oh, she would have skyrocketed them.
