Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. Hi everyone, welcome to the Brianne Clint Podcast. Where I don't know if you can hear this, but I'm wearing a turtleneck. I can hear it. You can hear it? Yeah, I can feel it. Yeah, your vocal cords sound warm. I thought so.
Starting point is 00:00:17 I didn't even notice that you were wearing a turtleneck. Didn't you? No. It's pretty, like, it's a pretty big fashion statement. To be fair, your hair is covering 75% of the turtleneck. I mean, that's true. Yeah. I like that you're wearing your necklace the way that The Rock would wear his.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Yeah. Do you love that? I love that. That was a little bit of a tribute to him. Was it? To be honest. He appreciated it. Do you want to borrow my bum bag?
Starting point is 00:00:41 I'd love that. I actually was going to wear a waist bag today. No joke. I wear a turtleneck similar to borrow my bum bag. I'd love that. I actually was going to wear a waist bag today. No joke. I wear a turtle neck similar to yours, like black. And I wore it with jeans once. And then it wasn't until I left the house that I was like, I've dressed like Steve Jobs. Did you have a dad tennis shoe on?
Starting point is 00:00:59 No, I didn't. But I did have a white shoe on. It was close enough. From a distance, it was like, Steve, is that you? Stephanie Jobs? All of you are more fashionable than me today. I have a hole in the crotch of my jeans. Do you?
Starting point is 00:01:12 Not ideal. You've only just told us this? Oh, yeah, it's a tiny hole. Well, congratulations on not looking at my crotch all day to figure that out. There's nothing worse than when you figure out you've got a hole in your crotch. Oh, no, I wore these pants knowing I had a hole in the crotch.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I figured that out years ago. It's just easy access. Ventilation. Just a bit of admin, by the way. How long has Ben and Anastasia been gone? Long time. How long have you been here, Claude? Since the 15th of June.
Starting point is 00:01:40 And they were gone before you got here? I know what you're going to say. And weirdly, I tried to change this this morning. I tried to change it this afternoon. Really? Oh, the podcast family group page? The cover image of our podcast family page has Anastasia, Brie, Ben, Clint and the Dolphin. Three out of five of those members are no longer members of the show.
Starting point is 00:02:00 The Dolphin Memorial now. Left ages ago too. It's a memorial now. Yeah. I tried to change it this morning. I can't change it. I'm not an admin of the page. I am an admin.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I don't even know if I am. I think I'm just done though. How do you change it? Oh God, I wouldn't know. Anyway, I was about to take drastic action today because the conversation had stopped. So I was about to take drastic action today because the conversation had stopped. So I was about to put up the Wiggles image. Was there a Wiggles image made?
Starting point is 00:02:30 Yes. Oh, that's right. One of the listeners made it, yeah. And I think you felt it was a bit shonky. I like this image. Yeah, that's because you look good. I look like I'm bald. Yeah, it's because of...
Starting point is 00:02:42 Yeah, you all laugh because it's true. I do look quite good. Yeah, you look the best. You look better than Claude, though. Hey! Do I show me Claude? You're right, but how do you say that? My face is quite large.
Starting point is 00:02:58 You don't look great. Wake up, Claude. People can't see this, so it's all irrelevant. But I'm just saying saying it does need addressing. And fill in producer Megan, who is very good on Photoshop. If you wanted to sneak your way in there and add yourself to the image, now is a great option. We would need to include Ella, who's on sabbatical.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I feel like if I do that, I'm going to be on there for like a decade. Yeah, you would be. That's the thing. Okay. You know, at least there'll be a memory. I'll put a gravestone for the thing. Okay. At least there'll be a memory. I'll put a gravestone for the dolphins. What image are you going to do? This will be iconic. We came up with
Starting point is 00:03:32 some ideas. Yeah, you just let me know and I'll make it. Was there any other options? There was a few. No, there was one. The Wiggles. That was it. The Wiggles are relevant right now. The Wiggles have literally just been here. That image has got Big Steve in it. It's got the trumpets in it. It kindiggles are relevant right now. Yeah, the Wiggles have literally just been here. That image has got Big Steve in it. It's got the trumpets in it.
Starting point is 00:03:47 It kind of ticks all the boxes. Is Big Steve in it? Yes, he is. Where? He's floating around in the background saying, well, howdy, pilgrims. Captain Feathersword? Look at him up there.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Oh, jeez. Just saying. I'm just putting it out there. Just putting it out there. Oh, God. No, I've just come up with it out there. Just putting it out there. Oh, God. No, I've just come up with a great idea. We should be the Planeteers. I'm on board with that.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Which one was your favourite? Definitely... Not being hot. I guess I'm going to have to be wind. As the most ginger member of the team, I'm happy to be fire. You will be fire. I don't remember which one was which. I like the one who had the monkey.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Heart. That's heart. Oh, you didn't want to be that one. I don't want to be that either then. Only because his power sucked. His power was the worst. You could be water. Water's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Okay, I'll be water. Water was pretty dope. That means Ella has earth or... She'd want to be heart. Or heart. Yeah, she would want to be heart. Which means, Megan, if you would like to be earth you can be earth
Starting point is 00:04:46 yeah I'll be earth or you could be Captain Planet or as big Steve Captain Planet he's Captain Planet he's Captain Planet yeah and mumma Di is the toxic Avenger alright well some things to work on

Starting point is 00:06:43 He's 21 years old. He's from Auckland, and he's only got one kidney. Welcome to the show Matthew. G'day Matthew. Hello, hello, hello. How come you've only got one kidney mate? I was just born with one kidney. Really? Are you born with one?
Starting point is 00:06:57 Interesting. Yeah. Isn't it amazing how the human body can still function completely normally with one? It's incredible that we got two in the first place. I wish we had two of other things. You know? Yeah. Two livers.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Two livers would be good, especially, you know, when you get into your 30s. All right, let's meet our lady today. She's 20 years old. She's from Hamilton. And she fosters border security puppies. Welcome to the show, Grace. G'day, Grace. Hi.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Morning. Afternoon. Long day, isn't it, Grace? Yeah, long day. Hey, Grace, that's so interesting. Are they beagles, mostly? Yes, they are beagles, all of them. Oh, so cool.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Is it hard to give them up when they get ready to go off into work? It is absolutely heartbreaking, the worst part. Over and over and over. It would be so hard. But they are doing their duty for their country. Okay, Grace, your buzzer is lady.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Matthew, yours is tradie. First to three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash from KFC. Good luck. Here we go, guys. Question number one. What vegetable does Popeye, the cartoon character,
Starting point is 00:08:00 eat to gain strength? Ladies. Yes, Grace. Spinach. It is, of Yes, Grace. Spinach. It is, of course, spinach. Nice work. Very well done considering you're 20. Have you seen the cartoon, Grace?
Starting point is 00:08:11 That would be due to my mum and dad. Oh, lovely. Excellent. All right, question number two, one to the ladies. Which Super Bowl halftime show performer was upstaged by a dancing shark? Going back a few years here. Yes. She's currently on an ad for Minulog.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Also one of the... Oh, a lady. Yes, Grace. Was that Grady Perry? That would be Grady Perry. Very well done. Matthew also right behind you. He knew as well.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Two to the ladies, none to the tradies. You need this one, Matthew, to stop her. Question number three. What does the acronym PDA stand for? Ladies. Yes, Grace. Oh, Grace, for the downtrouble. It's a display of attraction.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Oh, you almost ballsed that one up. We'll give it to her. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady. Well done, Grace. There's $50 cash coming your way thanks to KFC. What a great game. Convincing win.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Thank you so much. 3-0 to the ladies this afternoon. Killed it, didn't she? Bree and Clint. Something interesting happened yesterday, Clint, because a bunch of us are going to a listener event tonight for Fletcher, who's performing tomorrow night. Carl Fletcher.
Starting point is 00:09:27 No, not Carl Fletcher. From Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. No, Fletcher, the global pop superstar Fletcher. Oh, that Fletcher. Yeah, I'm easily confused. You know, you can get those two confused. But Carwin, who works with Carl Fletcher on The Breakfast Show as one of their producers, messaged one of our producers,
Starting point is 00:09:48 Megan, yesterday and was like, what time are you getting to this thing tonight? And Megan's like, what thing tonight? Please tell me you're not talking about the Fletcher thing. Yeah. And she had completely gotten ready, done her makeup, done her hair, thinking it was last night. Oh, no, that poor girl.
Starting point is 00:10:09 How devastating. Also, having worked the hours that she works on a breakfast radio show. She probably should have been sleeping. To commit to a night out on a school night is such a major. And then to go through, how long does it take to get ready? An hour? Yeah. An hour and a half? An hour and a bit, is such a major. And then to go through, how long does it take to get ready? An hour? Yeah. An hour and a half?
Starting point is 00:10:26 An hour and a bit, hour and a half. To put in all of that work to then find out it was the wrong night, I'm devastated for her. I'd be ropeable. Yeah, I'd be gutted. I'd be so ropeable. Yeah. And you were saying, because obviously she's got the date wrong by a day,
Starting point is 00:10:40 which is an easy thing to do. Yeah. And you said that you did this last week. Oh, the cat. So the cat, the ongoing concern cat, Ziggy, the one who has the $500 bottle of antibiotics. Antibiotics, yeah. She has a specialist vet that she has to see semi-regularly.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Right. The vet has recently moved to the other side of Auckland. So it's quite a far drive. So we live in West Auckland. The vet has moved to the north shore of Auckland. So it's quite a far drive. So we live in West Auckland. The vet has moved to the North Shore of Auckland. She had an appointment, put her in the car. It's a 45-minute drive to the vet. Had to drop the kids off to daycare on the way to the vet.
Starting point is 00:11:13 So the cat's been in the car for about an hour and a quarter by the time we get to the vet. She hates it. I walk in. I say, hi, guys. Ziggy's here to see the vet. And they go, that's funny because Ziggy's not due here until next Friday.
Starting point is 00:11:25 How did that get lost in communication? Well, I instantly went on the defensive and I was like, this is a balls up, guys. This is a huge balls up. This is not my fault. And they go, it is a bit of a balls up. I've just brought up the email here where you suggested next Friday.
Starting point is 00:11:41 This is your email address, isn't it? I was like, yeah, that's my email address. Oh, no. I'll see you guys next week. The sign of a busy man getting dates mixed up. So I'm going on another hour and a half car ride with my cat tomorrow. It's good bonding. She's looking forward to it, that's for sure.
Starting point is 00:11:58 My partner did this a few weeks ago as well where she had an appointment, right, and she drove all the way into the city, so about 35 minutes, parking in the city is a nightmare, parked, went to this place where she had this appointment, walks in, says her name, and they go, yeah, you've got the right day but it's next month. You're a month early. A month early. Month early.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And I feel like if that was me, I'd be like, I mean, feel welcome to wait. It might be a bit of a long wait. We've got a day, a week, and a month. So it happens in all dates. There's some real funny ones coming through on the text. Someone said, I showed up to my new internship a year early. Oh, key no be no. The contract
Starting point is 00:12:46 said 2019, not 2018. Wait, who's signing up for an internship a year in advance? Maybe they got picked from their, like, I don't know, uni program. What were you supposed to do for that year in between? Maybe they had a year of uni left or something. They're like, go and have a gap year
Starting point is 00:13:01 and then your internship starts. God, can I sign up for that job? Yes, please. That sounds great. Ellie's here. Hi, Ellie. Hi, Ellie. Hi. When did you get the date wrong, Ellie? It's actually ironic because I'm not one to ever turn up early for anything at all.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I was up in Wellington visiting some close friends. It was their daughter's first birthday. Had a lovely weekend with them. They're out in Croy, so we got in the car, ready to take me over to the airport. I said my goodbyes, went inside, and I couldn't check in on my phone,
Starting point is 00:13:36 which I thought was a bit odd. We stroll up to the Jetstar counter, and she goes to try and check me in, and she's like, I probably can't check you on this early. Having a laugh and I was like, oh, wait, hang on, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:13:54 Yeah, sorry, you're booked for your flight home next Sunday. A whole week? Yeah, a whole week. Like, somehow I didn't even look at the dates. I was just super excited to go. Yeah, yeah, I get it. You were caught up in the moment. So what did you do?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Did you go back and ask to stay at your friend's house for an extra week? No, no, I needed to. I was like, you know, I need to get back for work tomorrow. You know, what can we do? A few hundred dollars later. Oh, no. What a nightmare. Ellie, don't feel too bad because someone on the text machine has texted through this.
Starting point is 00:14:25 They said, we flew to Wellington for the weekend, went to fly home at the airport, had the return flight booked for the following year. So they've really bulls it up. They're like, wow, these flights are such a good deal. Don't know why, though. Oh, well, don't ask any questions. They're so cheap.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Monique's here. Hi, Monique. Hi, Monique. Hiya. Hi. When did you get the date wrong, Monique's here. Hi, Monique. Hi, Monique. Hi. Hi. When did you get the date wrong, Monique? So ours was in March. So we booked tickets to a Dell concert in Auckland.
Starting point is 00:15:00 And in February and March, the dates land on the same day, on February and March. Oh, yeah, because it's 28 days. Yeah, yeah, I follow you. So we went to check in at the airport and my lovely daughter, she's super organised. She organised our whole trip when we went to Europe. She'd booked our tickets from Wellington to Auckland for their Dail concert
Starting point is 00:15:15 and we, again, we couldn't check in. And I pulled over the Air New Zealand lady and I'm like, my tickets won't scan. She's like, yeah, you booked them for February, not March, hon. No! So not only was it wrong, you'd missed the flights that were booked for you. The plane had already left a month ago. You're like, did you miss Adele?
Starting point is 00:15:34 No, my poor daughter, I couldn't let her miss out. So, yeah, it was a very expensive flight that day because it was Adele Day as well. Yeah, of course. Can you imagine? The flights would have been through the roof. I would have just said to them, I'm only a little bit late. Can't we sort something out here?
Starting point is 00:15:51 Yeah, yeah. Just come on. Come on. I mean, I'm mischecking just. Ray, what date did you get wrong? Oh, right. So it wasn't actually me. It was actually one of my aunties, which I'm originally from South Africa,
Starting point is 00:16:05 and she's here with my uncle and stuff as well. And she was going to fly back to South Africa for another cousin's wedding. And so she went and she got there, but she was also a month early. Hey, they needed to be prepped done for the wedding, right? Yeah, nothing like a bit of extra family time, right? Yeah, but then she couldn't, she was only there for two weeks. That was her stay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:32 So her visa didn't allow her to actually stay there for longer and she had to come back and she missed the wedding. No! Oh, that's a real bad one. That's such a bad one. What about this one? I booked a flight home from Bali, but instead of getting to the airport at 12 a.m.,
Starting point is 00:16:49 I got there at 12 p.m. the following day and had to pay $2,500 for a new flight. I think this is the worst one, though. Our family showed up to the We Will Rock You show in Vegas one year early. Nothing will be rocked that night. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, tell us about this story about Kobe Bryant's widow
Starting point is 00:17:15 and she's won the court case. She won the court case today. So to bring everyone up to speed, when Kobe Bryant's helicopter crashed in January of 2020, obviously devastating international story. At the time, the LA police and the LA fire department, members of those two departments, took photos of the crash scene on their phones. And those photos were then circulated among other members of the teams
Starting point is 00:17:41 and also circulated at a social event and at a function. And one of those officers showed a person at a bar, showed a person at a bar, the actual photos. It's so dark. Disgusting behavior. There was someone at the bar who actually saw this and reported it. Now, that's the long story short. Vanessa Bryant is obviously under a tremendous amount of distress
Starting point is 00:18:03 that these photos will ever be in the public domain. And she sued the LA police and the fire department, along with Christopher Chester. And Christopher Chester, as you may or may not know, lost his spouse and daughter in the same helicopter crash. Christopher Chester sued for $15 million. Vanessa Bryant did not sue for a dollar amount. Vanessa's lawyer said, whatever the jury think is fair,
Starting point is 00:18:23 then that is what is fair. Obviously, she was't need to. She's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, she won the case. She was awarded $15 million. Chester was also awarded $15 million as well, which is a huge win. It's been a very,
Starting point is 00:18:37 very hard case to watch on the news and that because she's in very, very distress. There's been a lot of graphic detail around this. The great thing about this is hopefully it sets a new precedent and this kind of thing doesn't happen again. Who pays that money? Who pays the $30 million?
Starting point is 00:18:53 Because the police officer won't have that money. Does she get paid from the LAPD? Yes, from the actual LAPD. Right, okay. You know what I find most distressing about this, and obviously I've never been through something as horrific as what she has, but imagine the feeling she would have where she's still got other children and obviously she knows
Starting point is 00:19:12 all of Kobe's family and friends, and the feeling she would have when she learnt about this, that there's these photos that they have taken that they shouldn't have, and the risk of potentially her seeing them one day or her kids seeing them. Oh, that's traumatising. That's horrific. You know, it would just be the most traumatising thing ever.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Well, that's a good result then. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. This is good news for people who have the student loans. Finally. But only if you're American and live in America. Joe Biden. Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Joe Biden. Jewel Biden. Sleepy Joe. President of the United States of America is forgiving a huge amount of student loan debt for Americans. This is massive. It's massive. It's been talked about worldwide for a long, long time.
Starting point is 00:20:03 He's one of the first people to actually do it. So here's the details of what they're getting. If you're American and you earn less than $125,000 a year. Right, a lot of people. Most Americans. Yes. And you have a student loan, they are going to write off, cancel, get rid of $10,000 of your student loan.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Wow. Isn't that? That's awesome. You don't owe it anymore. You don't owe it. So if your loan was only $9,000, you have no more student loan. How good is that? Yeah, exactly right.
Starting point is 00:20:33 If your loan was $11,000, you still owe a grand, but that's going to be way better, isn't it? Yeah, let's be real. Obviously, I lived in the States for a while. I went to college over there. Yeah. And so I know quite a lot about the system. And obviously, I had a lot of American friends who talked about how difficult, one, it is even to get into the university that you want.
Starting point is 00:20:56 And then two, to pay for that. Yeah, exactly right. Like parents start saving pretty much from birth for their kids' college funds. So the roll-on effect is when you're ready to start having a family and buy a house, you can't because you owe all this debt, which is accruing interest, and the bank goes, we can't lend you any more money because you already owe this much money. So they're going to get rid of a bunch of it and let those people start again.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Interestingly, 45 million Americans have got student loans. That's so many. And together they owe more than 1.6 trillion dollars to the government in debt. Isn't that wild? Isn't that insane? Because obviously that whole schooling system over there is massively flawed. Because I mean, there was that
Starting point is 00:21:40 massive scandal in the last couple of years where, you know, all the drama of people doing dodgy deals behind closed doors to get their kids into colleges who have more money. So the wealthy were pretty much paying for their kids to get into certain colleges, you know? Yeah, exactly right. And it means all these other people don't get the education
Starting point is 00:22:01 that they want or need. Nah. And so they're going to write some of it off. They should do that in New Zealand. Oh my God, imagine if everybody with a student loan got $10,000 wiped off it right now. It'd be incredible because the situation here in this country is that you don't pay interest on the loan.
Starting point is 00:22:15 No, you don't. No, which is really good. Yeah. And what was the other thing? Someone told me like if you're going overseas. Oh, you can have a repayment holiday, but I think it's only six months. Right. Yeah. Okay. Have you still got a student loan?
Starting point is 00:22:28 I paid mine off a couple of years ago. Yeah I paid mine off too. Producers have we got any student loans out there? Together have you guys got any student loans? Still paying off a student loan? Nah nothing from us I don't think. No student loans out there either? Jeez that's not bad. We're all old. Yeah we are. We should have paid it off by now.
Starting point is 00:22:44 There'll be people our age who have definitely still got student loans. They probably, yeah, and I can only imagine. Imagine if you study medicine. Yeah, exactly right. Or, you know, anything like that. Well, imagine if you studied medicine and then didn't go on to be a doctor. Yeah. Imagine what your student loan is like.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Nightmare. Because in Aussie, in Australia, if you have a student loan, it does gain interest. Right. You do have to pay the interest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it just gets bigger and bigger. And a lot of the time, I remember when I first came out of uni
Starting point is 00:23:13 and I wasn't earning pretty much anything. It just keeps getting bigger. And I was literally just paying the interest. Yeah, punished. And I was like, this is rough. Let's see if we can find New Zealand's biggest student loan this afternoon. Let's go to Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Hi, Anonymous. Hello. How big is or was your student loan? $110,000. What? What did you study, Anonymous? I studied a couple of years in Auckland Uni, and then I did a chiropractic degree. Right, okay. And what do you study anonymous? I studied a couple of years in Auckland Uni and then I did a chiropractic degree.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Right, okay. And what do you do now? I'm a chiropractor. Oh, you are a chiropractor. Thank God. Okay, good. Well, that paid off at least. How much have you paid off?
Starting point is 00:23:58 I've paid off all of it. Oh, you went through the whole $110,000. God, money in chiropractic. Yeah, what a shame. Brie was going to sort it out for you. Oh, I'm so devo. So devo anonymous. Talk to Ash.110,000. God, money in chiropractic. Yeah, what a shame. Bree was going to sort it out for you. Oh, I'm so devo. So devo, Anonymous. Talk to Ash. Hi, Ash.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Hi, Ash. Hello, how are you? Good, thanks. Do you think you might have had New Zealand's biggest student loan? I don't know if it's the biggest, but it's big enough. Go on then. It's $126,000 currently. Still to pay off, or is that the starting point? It's still6 currently. Still to pay off or is that the starting point?
Starting point is 00:24:27 It's still to grow. Still to grow? Yeah. What are you studying? I'm currently studying medicine, but I did four other things before that. What four other things did you do before that? Just a normal degree and then a master's degree and a PhD. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Wow. You're obviously a very intelligent person. It does seem like you have a bit of issue making your mind up, you know? Hey, Ash, is your career in just studying at uni? Is that what your career is now? Are you a professional
Starting point is 00:25:03 student? Yeah, my goal is to go student discount to Gold Card. Yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, good stuff. Okay, Ash, well, good luck with the study. Yeah, good luck, Ash. Hopefully, you know. Careful with those course-related costs. You know what they say, fifth degree is a charm.
Starting point is 00:25:19 That is what I've heard. That is what they're saying. What about the text someone said, $160,000 student loan. It's my husband getting his helicopter licence and instructor licence. How much do helicopter pilots get paid? Well, I think they do pretty well. Yeah, right. If you can get a job, though, especially in the last however many years.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Okay, this one is incredibly precise. $226,241.82 left to pay on my student loan. I studied to be a pilot. Thankfully, I have a job as one as well. Listen to this text. My mate went into piloting and his student loan was $160,000, but he's now working in a store. Oh, see, that would just really break your balls.
Starting point is 00:26:08 That's so gutting. Because you'll pay it off. You'll just take 10% out of your pay for the rest of your life. Yeah. But that's 10% that you could be getting paid. I know. Someone else said $80,000 altogether, $70,000 left to pay. I'm a first-year teacher.
Starting point is 00:26:24 That's an expensive degree. Yeah, exactly right. Isn't it? Yeah, there's so many and it makes me feel sick because I remember what it felt like every time I'd look. What's the moral of the story here? Don't go to uni. Go straight into a trade after school.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Exactly right. They'll pay you to learn. Bree and Clint. This is big news for Fast and the Furious fans. That's me. One'll pay you to learn. Bree and Clint. This is big news for Fast and the Furious fans. That's me. One of Paul Walker's cars. Family.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Family. Well, it's just been sold, actually, so you can't get this one. Wait a second. So I need details. Is it one of his personal cars or one of his cars that were in one of the films?
Starting point is 00:27:00 Neither. It's neither? It's a car that he drove while doing promotion for a number of the Fast and the Furious movies. Right, okay. So he would drive it to a red carpet or he would drive it to an interview or something like that.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Got it. The car is a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR, or for those who know what that is, it's a Godzilla. It's a Godzilla. Iconic. It's the creme de la creme of Nissan Skylines. Yeah, they were such, like a big thing in pop culture around that time, weren't they? He did 33,000 Ks in the car and it just sold for a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Wow. Those cars are valuable anyway, but when it's Paul Walker's Nissan Skyline. It makes it even more. I realised while I was reading this, your dad has one of these. He has, yes. Your dad has a Godzilla in the garage. My dad, yes, is a boy racer. He's fast and furious. He bought the car
Starting point is 00:27:53 I think a year and a half ago and it was bought as a collectible. Like he bought it knowing that the price of it would go up because they're so rare. Yeah. But, yeah, he does have one of these cars. I think we give him a call now and you tell him that one of his cars has just sold for a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Oh, God. But don't tell him the poor walkabout. Okay. All right, got it. So you're not lying. I'll just leave it out. You just leave that bit out. Yeah, sweet.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Hello? Hey, Mum, is Dad around? Yeah, he sure is, mate. We need him for the radio. Just give him about one minute, one second. Is that all he needs? Oh, we aren't up. I'm here.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Jesus. G'day. Hey, Big Steve. Hey, sweetheart. Hey, you're on the radio right now. Okay. And Clint and I just have some pretty good news for you. This is big news.
Starting point is 00:28:44 You own a Godzilla, don't you? Have you got a Nissan Skyline Godzilla? I do. Dad, you would not believe this, and this is not a joke, when we say one of those cars, the exact one that you have, do you want to know how much it just sold for? No, but I'm certainly very interested. I bet you are.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Have a stab in the dark. What do you think? How much? In your wildest dreams, what do you think that car could sell for? Oh, $250,000? $250,000. Big Steve, one of the exact kind of cars that you own just sold for $1 million. Wow. He doesn't believe you.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I could just hear him. No, he doesn't believe you. He doesn't believe you. He's like the boy who had Wolf cried to him too many times. He doesn't believe you. What can I swear on? I swear on anything, Dad, that I'm not joking. Well, it must have been a really special model.
Starting point is 00:29:44 It's got to be. It's the same as yours. The same one. It's an R34 GTR Skyline. Yeah, but it must be something really rare. He's too smart for us. The guy from Fast and the Furious might have owned it for a bit.
Starting point is 00:30:00 But it's the same as your car, Steve. It's the same as your car. It's still the same car. Phil, there you go. And now, while we've got you here, Dad, I just want to make sure you're leaving that Skyline Godzilla to me in the wheel, aren't you? That'll be something that Mum and I will have to discuss. What?
Starting point is 00:30:22 The correct answer, Steve, is over my dead body, literally. I will be dead. Brie and Clint. Time for What's the Plot? Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really, but picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? Our movie guessing game where today the jackpot is $600 cash. Up in the running is you, Melanie. Welcome to the show. G'day, Mel. Hi. Hello. Have you ever What's the Plot-ed before with us? Have you been on air? Every week. Every week. Oh, every week in the show. G'day, Mel. Hi. Hello. Have you ever watched The Plotter before with us? Have you been on here?
Starting point is 00:31:06 Every week. Every week. Oh, every week in the car. How do you go, Mel? I can't call it. I beat you last week. Did you? Yeah, I had a bit of a shocker last week, didn't I?
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah. Okay, well, you didn't have to agree with me, Mel. No, that's good. That's good. Attack her confidence, Melody. Oh, no, she's in my head now. You've got to start knocking the legs out early if you want this $600. Mind game.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Yeah. Okay. I'll give you guys the theme and then we will get into the game. Obviously, Melanie, you know the rules. I start a plot. You buzz in with your name. As soon as you think you know what it is and have a guess, you do not wait for me to finish the plot line before you guess.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Yeah? Yes, Greg. Okay, all right. Back to our theme. All right, the theme. Today, we celebrate the birthday of one of the most iconic directors of the last 30 years. Instantly recognisable for his style of movies,
Starting point is 00:31:59 spanning multi-generations, today is the 64th birthday of Tim Burton. Right. Brilliant. Oh, no. You're a fan, Mel? Yes, big fan. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I mean, I've probably seen heaps of the films. I couldn't tell you which ones he's directed, if I'm honest. Turn your radios up, folks. Oh, no. This could be the day. We could be about to give away $600. All right, got to get my head in this game. My heart is pounding there, gosh.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I'm so nervous. You and me both, Mel. Number one. After Barbara and Adam die in a car accident, they find themselves... Melanie. Melanie. Melanie.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Sleepy Hollow? Sleepy Hollow is not Tim Burton. Don't say anything else. If you've had your guess, you'll give it away if you say something else. It's not Sleepy Hollow. No, I know the one it is. I'll continue the plotline unless Brie wants to have a free guess.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I've died in a car accident. Once Brie has either guessed Melanie or gives up her free guess, you can buzz in again. I mean Alice in Wonderland? Alice in Wonderland is incorrect. It's up for grabs again whenever anybody wants to buzz in.
Starting point is 00:33:17 After Barbara and Adam die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence. I know what it is, but I can't think of the name of it. Unable to leave the house. Brie? Yes, Brie.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Caroline? Caroline's incorrect. Is that a Tim Burton film? Yes, it is. The mood is right, but the movie is wrong. Oh! Yeah. You want a free guess?
Starting point is 00:33:40 That's what it's called. Free guess, Mel? No, I can't. Okay. You're giving up your free guess? Yeah. Okay. Anyone can buzz in again.
Starting point is 00:33:49 You can buzz in if you want to. Okay. I'll let you keep start first. Okay. When the unbearable... Brie? Brie. Beetlejuice?
Starting point is 00:33:56 Beetlejuice is correct. Yes! No, that wasn't what I thought it was. I thought it was the vampire one. Right. Oh, the death... What's the... Something we see in the Sorrows or something? What we do in the Shadows. That's the one. What's the something we see in the Sorrows or something?
Starting point is 00:34:06 What we do in the shadows. That's the one. That's a Taika Waititi movie. That's right. That was a few weeks ago. Oh, I am shaking. Movie number two, my obvious Tim Burton fans. Here it comes.
Starting point is 00:34:20 A scientist builds a human being but dies. Brie. Bicentennial Man. Bicentennial Man is incorrect. Tim Burton movies. Do you want a free guess, Melanie? I don't know what they are. Edward Scissorhands.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Edward Scissorhands is correct. Oh, no. No. Wow, that was good, Melanie. I didn't think you had that in you. Yeah. I wouldn't have got it, so well done, Mel. No. Wow, that was good, Melanie. I didn't think you had that in you. Yeah. I wouldn't have got it, so well done, Mel. Tim Burton movies.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Plot number three. My bunghole is very tight right now. The decider. Whoever gets this is the champion. I am nervous. Mel is very good. Okay. This inventive adaptation
Starting point is 00:35:06 follows the adventures of James. James and the Giant Peach. Oh my god. Is that it? Mal, you almost had her. You almost had her. I feel like I've just run a
Starting point is 00:35:22 marathon, Mal. I'm saying you're a very worthy competitor. That could have went either way. Oh, Mel's gutted. I can hear how gutted you are, Mel. We can't send you away with $600. We can send you away with 50K FC chicken dollars. Thank you for playing Watch the Plies.
Starting point is 00:35:40 I love this every week. Awesome, Mel. And hey, you're welcome to call back anytime. I will, I will. All right. We'll meet again in the future. I think the Tim Burton movie you guys were thinking of was Dark Shadows, by the way.
Starting point is 00:35:54 That's the one. That's it. That's the one. Bree and Clint. I went and saw a surgeon today just for an appointment for like a consultation because I'm going under the knife.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Are you finally getting a bit of, you know? A nip tuck. Yeah. No, but I am getting a nose job. A rhinoplasty. No, not quite a rhinoplasty. I have, a la Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac, a deviated septum. Is that what you actually have?
Starting point is 00:36:21 I have a deviated septum, yeah. Oh, I've read somewhere what people get that from. Like Stevie Nicks. Not always, okay? You can just have a deviated septum. That's what people who have deviated septums say. To all my mouth breathers out there, okay? It's not necessarily your fault.
Starting point is 00:36:39 And I'll give you, I know this is radio and you can't see, I'll give you an audio example of what a deviated septum. Okay, everyone be quiet. I'm just going to breathe through my nose. That's all I'm going to do. I'm just going to breathe through my nose. Are you ready? Okay, I'm ready.
Starting point is 00:36:52 That makes me feel physically ill. Makes me feel so ill. I didn't even do a big one. That was just a normal breath. No, no more. We get the idea. It was just a normal breath. Yeah, no, we got the idea.
Starting point is 00:37:02 So anyway, I went and saw this doctor a couple of weeks ago. He put me in for a CT scan. Today I went back in. He was able to show me in three dimensions what the inside of my skull looks like. Do you have a lot of boogers out there? My sinuses are full. I don't know if it's full of boogers.
Starting point is 00:37:16 He called it rubbish. Mucus? Yeah. Probably mucus. Goo, whatever it is. Which is essentially boogers. Whatever it is, I can't breathe, okay? And so what they're going to do is they're going to operate,
Starting point is 00:37:27 they're going to undeviate my septum. They're going to also go up into the bones above my eyes and drill out the passageways that go to your sinuses because your sinuses sit above your eyes and below your eyes. To make it wider. So they can drain and so I can breathe. When I was talking to this surgeon, he's very good, by the way. I can tell he's very good.
Starting point is 00:37:52 But surgeons have a way of speaking to you which is very matter of fact. I don't know if it's that or if they just have risks that they have to make you aware of. And, man, it was scary. He said, he goes, okay, so this is the bone which separates your sinus from your brain. If I roll the mouse back here, that's your brain. Seems quite important.
Starting point is 00:38:15 That's your brain there. And what I will do is I will go in with a drill and I'll be knocking off these bits of bone here and I'll knock them off, knock them off, knock them off, knock them off. And what that does is it opens it up so you can breathe. So all I heard there is I'm going to take a drill and I'm going to drill it close to your brain,
Starting point is 00:38:32 close to your brain, close to your brain, close to your brain. That's exactly what I was hearing as I was looking at the screen at this incredibly thin bit of bone that separates my face from my brain. Yeah. He said, now you need to be aware that as I knock these bits of bone off, it can crack. And if that happens. Pardon me?
Starting point is 00:38:50 If that happens. What'd you say? There are complications. And I said to him, okay, can we stop the surgical freight train for a second? What's the complication? Like if it cracks, what is the complication?
Starting point is 00:39:02 And he goes, oh, some of your brain fluid will leak out. Oh, my gosh. Is that something? Did you ask? My next question would have been, let's say percentage wise, how many times does that happen? I didn't ask.
Starting point is 00:39:18 He was very quick to offer that up though. He said, I've done this operation between three and 4,000 times. Okay. And it's happened to me twice. I mean, that's pretty good odds. They are pretty good odds. But it's funny. Your brain, all your brain hears is,
Starting point is 00:39:31 it's happened twice. It's happened twice. It could happen to you. It's happened twice. That means. You could be number three. There is a chance. I said to him, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:38 So let's say that you do crack into my brain by accident. Is it fixable? Is it fixable? And my brain juice leaks out. What are you doing? He goes, oh, it's very simple. I just go in there with a little spray gun and I just spray some glue on it and just close it up
Starting point is 00:39:52 and it's fine. We're good to go. And I was like, okay. So it is okay if it actually does happen. I just said to him, so just to put my mind at ease, you're just telling me worst case, right? It's not going to happen to me. He's like, well, it could, but it won't, but it could,
Starting point is 00:40:06 but it won't, but it could. And I was like, okay, but if it does, you can just spray the glue on and I'll be fine. And he goes, yeah, you'll be fine. Don't worry about it. But then there has a couple of times been a case. No, doctor, I don't want to hear about it. So I'm getting the operation.
Starting point is 00:40:20 I've signed up for the operation. Does this mean no more snoring? Hopefully no more snoring. But it's not guaranteed. It's not guaranteed, no. Especially after a few beers, still not guaranteed. But I'm getting the operation. What I need you to do is if I'm talking to you
Starting point is 00:40:33 and some liquid starts to run out of my nose, I need you to give me a, we need to come up with a special signal, okay? We'll have emergency tissues in the studio, okay? Bree and Clint. Did someone decide they were going to break up with you not face to face they were going to do a different way maybe text maybe they sent a home homing pigeon um i don't know homing pigeon people can get creative these days be realistic
Starting point is 00:41:01 look this this story is going super viral around the world at the moment after a woman was sitting on a train in Sydney catching public transport and there was a guy in front of her that kept leaning back. He kept grabbing around his neck with his hand and scratching the back of his neck. Oh, okay. So he kept scratching the back of his neck with his hand so she could see obviously the back of his neck. Oh, okay. So he kept scratching the back of his neck with his hand so she could see, obviously,
Starting point is 00:41:26 the back of his hand. And there was something written on the back of his hand. And she was like, what has he got written on his hand? Anyway, she's filmed it and you can see exactly what is written. And it says this, send breakup email. Oh, brutal. Oh, brutal. An email? So it was a reminder to himself on his hand
Starting point is 00:41:51 to send a breakup email to someone. I don't know why, but somehow email feels even more inhumane than text message. I agree. Because, like, was his email signature on the bottom of it? Did he sign it off best? Kind regards. Yeah, live, laugh.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Live, laugh, I don't love you anymore. Yours sincerely. Weird, eh? As I, as I, um, hello, Catherine. I've decided to terminate this relationship. Effective immediately. Yours faithfully, Greg. Please consider the environment before printing this breakup email.
Starting point is 00:42:25 And then he turns his out of office on once he sends it. Also setting yourself a reminder. Like everybody has email on their phone now. So premeditated. But why does he want to delay it? Like why does he need to do it later? Like if you wanted to break up with someone and you were the sort of person who's willing to do it over email,
Starting point is 00:42:44 pull your phone out. And just do it. Send the email. Yeah, why are you writing it on your hand? Why are you writing it on your to-do list? Get eggs, book, haircut. Send breakup email. Break up with Catherine.
Starting point is 00:42:55 You know what it made me think of? It made me think of this episode of Sex and the City, which I believe we might have the audio from, where Carrie, the main character, gets broken up with on a Post-it note. Burger broke up with me on a Post-it. On a Post-it? Uh-huh. Read it and weep, my friends.
Starting point is 00:43:15 I'm sorry I can't. Don't hate me. To be fair, what did Carrie expect from a man named Burger? Well, that was his last name. Still, that's what last name. Still. Yeah, I know. That's what he was known by. Megan Thee Stallion, our producer, told us about a brutal Taylor Swift breakup as well.
Starting point is 00:43:32 This one was aired on the Ellen DeGeneres show, This was iconic, wasn't it? This was so iconic. Yeah, I think I've pulled the audio for you. Okay, this is Taylor Swift talking about her breakup with... Joe Jonas. And when I look at that person, I'm not even going to be able to remember the boy
Starting point is 00:43:47 who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18. Side note, how different does Taylor Swift sound? She does. I mean, she was 18 then. Yeah, but she stopped doing the fake country accent. Oh, let's hear it again. Hasn't she? She's doing a Nashville accent there.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Yeah, we don't like to talk about that. Oh, do we not? Because Megan's a head of... She's doing a Nashville accent there. Yeah, we don't like to talk about that. Oh, do we not? Because Megan's a head of... She's a Swifty. She's a mega Swifty. I'm right, though. That's a... You are.
Starting point is 00:44:11 You knew way more than I thought. That's a fake Tennessee accent. And when I look at that person, I'm not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18. That was such a solid burn from her. Like I remember watching that back in the day just being like, damn. You can hear the crowd, they're like, oh.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Oh, shit. Taylor Swift went there. So good. I thought we could ask this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, were you broken up with in a way that wasn't face-to-face? Or maybe you broke up with someone. If you can call up and own it, were you broke up with someone? Oh, you want to admit to a brutal breakup technique?
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah, either or. We'll take either or. Maybe you got broken up with. Maybe you were doing the breaking up. But was it not face-to-face? And what mode of transport was it? Mode of transport? Do you mean mode of communication? Like a homing pigeon.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Oh right, back to the homing pigeon. Someone on a train's been photographed with a note on their hand that says send breakup email. Can I just say we've been pulled up on criticising this person. Someone said guys, what if it's a sports breakup or a work breakup? Why are you so quick to judge?
Starting point is 00:45:26 Well, you know, it definitely could be, and I did think about that, but that wouldn't make for very interesting radio. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Who calls it a work breakup? Who says they need to send their work breakup email? Oh, I think it's something with people that have real jobs. Breakup? Yeah, I think it's... with people that have real jobs. Breakup? Yeah, I think it's like...
Starting point is 00:45:46 You'd write resign on your hand, wouldn't you? Oh, you're talking about like a morning tea breakup or something like that. Send breakup email. Oh, okay, now I'm on the same page. No, you're right. Am I right? No, you're right.
Starting point is 00:46:03 I don't even know if I am now. Sports breakup, end of year breakup. Oh, I thought you're right I don't even know if I am now Sports breakup End of year breakup Oh, I thought you were talking about Breaking up with your work My bad Forget I said anything No, we're good
Starting point is 00:46:11 Move on Hey, look We're talking about brutal breakups And we want to hear from you guys Maybe you were doing the breaking up Maybe it was you that was getting broken up with Bro, I broke up with my work today It was real awkward
Starting point is 00:46:23 Andy's here Hi, Andy Hi, Andy Hey, guys How's it going? Good How'd they break up with. I broke up with my work today. It was real awkward. Andy's here. Hi, Andy. Hi, Andy. Hey, guys. How's it going? Good. How'd they break up with you, Andy? Yeah, so this was my first girlfriend in year eight in intermediate school. She actually got her friend
Starting point is 00:46:36 to do it and her excuse was that she lost her voice. Classic. Oh, dirty. Classic year eight technique. It's so dirty. Send the friend in. The losing of your voice, but that's creative. That's so dirty. Send the friend in. The losing of your voice. The poor friend, Dave. That's creative. That's a creative twist. The problem was we were in the same class,
Starting point is 00:46:50 so I knew that morning that she had a lot to do. Oh, no. I had to deal with her, you know, send her for the rest of the day as well. Yeah, right. I feel for the friend, and obviously I feel for Andy in that situation, but imagine a friend of yours.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Let's say, you know, one of your friends came to you and said, Clint, look, I need to break up with the missus. Can you go around to her house? Brie, Brie, big favour to ask. And do it for me? You know my wife. And I'll be like, do it yourself. Hayley's here.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Hi, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hello. How'd they break up with you, Hayley? No, I did it. Oh, you did it. Hayley, what did you do? Are you labelling yourself brutal?
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah, yeah. What did you do? You tell us and we will be the judge. So at the time I didn't drive and it was kind of like different district relationships. I was in the Hutt Valley, he was in Masterton. Okay. And my friend was going to drive me over to do it,
Starting point is 00:47:46 but he wasn't answering his phone, and I tried to text him to organise to see him, and, you know, what's the address. I had been there, but I didn't know what the actual address was to get there. Yeah. Yeah, and he wasn't answering his phone. He wasn't answering his texts.
Starting point is 00:47:59 So how did you do it? How did you do it? I just said, look, I'm really sorry, but I've tried to arrange face-to-face. Oh, you did the best you could. I reckon you did the best you could in that situation. You tried. You definitely tried.
Starting point is 00:48:10 You needed that homing pigeon that Bree was talking about earlier. I need to start a service, I think. Fiona, how did you break up with somebody? Or how did they break up with you? Yeah, no, it wasn't me. So my partner was going to stay at his ex's during the school holidays to help look after their son while she was at work. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:29 All good. I get home from work and everything of his is completely gone from the house. What? No. Completely. Did he move back in with the ex? Yeah. Wait, Fee.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Oh, Fiona, that's traumatic. So he broke up with you by you coming home and all of his stuff being gone. Yeah. Brutal. So then I'm texting going, what the hell? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, have we been robbed? But it's just your shirt.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Like, you know. Oh, my God. He's like, oh, my God, we've been robbed. But they've only taken... Men's underwear. And PlayStation. I started looking through the pantry and, like, his coffee cups were gone and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Oh, Fiona, I'm sorry you had to go through that. Oh, we have to laugh now, right, Fee? Oh, 100%, yeah. I mean, you know, I'm better off. But at the time, it was kind of like, whoa, not even a note. Babe, we've been robbed and they took your leftovers from the fridge. What a coward. Last one's Shantae.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Hi, Shantae. Hi, Shantae. Hello. Hello. How'd they break up with you, Shantae? I was 13 and I met somebody else. So I had to get his friend to tell him. Wait.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah. You left, wait, wait a second, Shantae. You left the breakup message, not on his phone, not as a text. You left the message on his friend. Yes, yes. Well, I was very young. Oh, hey, you're 13. You can be forgiven for that.
Starting point is 00:50:04 But also, popular 13-year-old. No one talked to me until I was about 28. Two boyfriends. Still, it was a struggle then. I got a message from someone that we work with who will remain nameless, who has said, my girlfriend of five years broke up with me
Starting point is 00:50:21 using a video sent via Snapchat. A Snapchat breakup. That is right. Five years in the relationship. She broke up with him on Snapchat. Do you reckon she replayed the video? Or he replayed the video, you know? I think you would have to try and get through the shock of it.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Oh, they've replayed it. There you go. Oh, they've just messaged and they said, yes, I did replay the message actually. As you would. And I replied to that shock of it. Oh, they've replayed it. There you go. Oh, they've just messaged and they said, yes, I did replay the message actually. As you would. And I replied to that shit as well. Just a picture of you giving the ups. Doppelgangers.
Starting point is 00:50:55 And I'm not just talking about, you know, your run of the mill. Oh, you kind of look like that actress. Celebrity doppelgangers. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Not that type of doppelganger, but I'm talking about where in recent years there's been quite a few studies done on people who find another person
Starting point is 00:51:14 from maybe the other side of the world that actually could be their identical twin. Well, with the advent of social media and everybody putting a picture, at least one picture of their face on the internet, there is now AI that could scan every Facebook profile in the world and go, oh yeah, cool. Here's all the doppelgangers. Here's all the people that have a 90%, 95% resemblance of your face. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:51:38 There is a photographer by the name of Francois Brunel. He's a Canadian artist. And he started a picture series where he started discovering people from around the world. And they're pretty much identical lookalikes. Yeah. But they're not related. I've seen this guy's photos. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:52:01 It's incredible. Yes, he dresses them the same. And he gets them the same and he gets them the same haircut or whatever it is but you kind of want that right yeah because you want to see just how much you want to take all the obstacles away and when he does that these people look like identical twins it's actually the weirdest bit about it the weirdest bit about it is like you could have a doppelganger who lived in the 50s yeah but this guy is finding you a doppelganger who exists at the same time as you who is the same age he's in the same age
Starting point is 00:52:31 window as you yeah so there's been this study that's been published uh last tuesday in the journal of cell reports um and it's where they recruited 32 pairs of lookalikes from this particular photography collection. Yeah. So obviously he's photographed all these people and then they've studied. He's done the legwork. Exactly. So they did DNA tests and they completed questionnaires about their lifestyles and stuff like that. And the researchers used facial recognition software to quantify the
Starting point is 00:53:05 similarities between the participants' faces. Right. To see how alike they are. So 16 of those 32 pairs achieved similar overall scores to identical twins, which was analysed by the same software. That's incredible. So they were so close that they got the same results. A computer would believe they were identical twins.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yes, exactly. The researchers then compared the DNA of those 16 pairs that were that close to see if their DNA was as similar as their faces, so their actual DNA. Their genetic makeup. And they found that they shared significantly more of their genes than the other ones who weren't as similar.
Starting point is 00:53:50 So they must be related somehow. So they have similar DNA. So up the tree somewhere they must share an ancestor. Well, it's interesting. Essentially they share very similar parts of DNA sequence. Freaky, eh? I would love to meet my doppelganger.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Same. I'd love to meet him or her. Could be a lady out there with a ginger beard. I've had a girl on Instagram message me before quite a few times. Yeah. And she's like, I always get mistaken for you in public. And I mean, I can see it. It's not like what these people have.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Yeah. But wouldn't it be cool to meet your identical, essentially, twin? Using social media, we could look for it. I mean, we've got a- Should we go on the hunt? We've got a hundred-ish thousand people on our Facebook page that we could start with and scan those people and the people that they know. Like, if we just put up pictures of our faces-
Starting point is 00:54:44 Yeah, we're looking for our doppelgangers. We're looking for the closest we could find. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? We're on the hunt for the world's most handsome man part two? No, I was thinking once we find them, they could sit in for us and we could have a day off. Oh, yeah, that's what I was thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Isn't that the whole point of this search? Are we on the same page? Yeah, we're on the same page now. Hey, I actually think we should do this. I'll fire a guy over from Canada if I get a day off. That's what it takes.
Starting point is 00:55:09 I'll do this. Okay, we'll put our pictures up tonight. If you know anybody who resembles either Bree or me, please put a photo of them and some contact information, whatever it is. Just tag them in it.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Send us a message. We'll track them down. We'll see if we can meet our real-life doppelgangers. Would love it. Bree and Clint. What a fun time. Bound to launch a new game.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Should we just kick off? No, actually I'll explain it first. So my partner who works at the neonatal intensive care unit at the hospital looking after tiny babies. A big thing for them is they've always got I believe it's called Baby Mozart which is like some calming music for the babies or white noise
Starting point is 00:55:47 or stuff like that playing. Anyway, she said from time to time, you know, it can get quite draining when you're listening to the same thing over and over again. Yeah. And she found this playlist, a musical playlist called Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:06 And what it is, it's a playlist for babies where they take popular songs, pop songs, rock songs, and they turn them into... Lullabies. Lullabies for babies. Right, okay. Right? That's good for any parents who are going insane.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Exactly. Listening to the same... It's a great playlist. The same baby music over and over. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Anyway, we started playing this game at home where she'd play one of the songs
Starting point is 00:56:32 and then it would take me about 15 minutes to try and guess what song it was. Yeah. So we've created this game. Baby songs. Baby songs. Baby songs. Baby songs. I said no baby voice No that was a real baby So it doesn't count
Starting point is 00:56:57 Right well that's fine then It was a real baby Here's how it's going to work Producer Claude has loaded Some of these lullabies that are popular songs you would have heard on the radio. Okay. So you and I, Clint, will work together to try and guess them
Starting point is 00:57:14 because they're quite hard. Got it. And everyone listening, you can text through on 9696 to see if you can beat Clint and I by guessing what popular song this is. Easy peasy. Should we go for the first one? Let's go for the first one. Let's have a listen to this.
Starting point is 00:57:32 All right. Don't fall asleep. It's very relaxing. Oh. Oh, it's at the front of my brain. I know it. I've got nothing. Can we have a hint, producer Claude?
Starting point is 00:58:05 This is on the ZM playlist right now. It's one of our biggest songs. It's right there. Male or female artist? Male artist. Anyone on the text machine, text it through 9696 if you can guess it. It's right there. I feel like you have it, but you haven't quite placed it.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I've got it. It's coming in the texts. Oh, but you haven't quite placed it. I've got it. It's coming in in the texts. Oh, okay, I read the text machine. As it was Harry Styles. It was right there. This version's a bit faster. Oh, they slowed it down. Yeah, all of them are slowed down to make it more lullaby-ish.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Very good people on the text machine. Okay. None from one. That is one to the listeners. What's this one? Oh. Oh! Oh, it's so frustrating! You definitely have it. I always have it.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Yeah. Is this on the ZM playlist? It was at one point, but not anymore. Is this bad and ZM playlist? It was at one point, but not anymore. Is this Bad and Bougie? No. This song has two different artists. You have it. I've got it.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Is it Coldplay? Coldplay is involved. Oh, it does sound. Oh, is it Chris Martin and Kanye, oh, oh. Is it Coldplay? Coldplay is involved. Oh, it does sound... Oh, is it Chris Martin and Kanye West? It is.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Is it? Yeah, it is. Homecoming. Homecoming. That's the part I could hear. That's what they gave away. It sounded like something you'd hear at a medieval fair. Yeah. That's the vibe it gave me. It does, hey. something you'd hear at a medieval fair. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:25 That's the vibe it gave me. It does, hey. Can you imagine Kanye at a medieval fair? I'd love it. He'd love it. He'd love the fashion. We suck at this. Do you want to try one more?
Starting point is 01:00:33 Yeah, let's go one more. I think you'll be able to get this one, hopefully. I'm pretty sure the listeners are owning us at the moment. Let's go. Lord Royals. Yeah. Lord Royals. It 100 is. It 100 is.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Can we listen to Lullaby one more time again? Go to sleep! That one, you nailed that one. There we go. That was very good. All right, we'll have to play that again. Yeah, that was fun. The listeners are way better than us.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Everybody, wake up. Whoa! It's time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. Look, we don't often cover Formula One news, but this guy, and Formula One at the moment is so hot because of that Drive to Survive show. Dean's got goss on very popular driver Daniel Ricciardo.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean. Yeah. Hi, guys. Big goss. Yeah. Hi, guys. Big goss. He's leaving McLaren at the end of this season after mutually agreeing to terminate the contract. Wow.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Okay, so he's won the Grand Prix eight times. He is an absolute legend in the sport, and he is going to get a payout of $24 million. Wow. To terminate the contract. Don't really know. Obviously, I don't know what happened. I don't even really know who any of them are.
Starting point is 01:02:10 So I don't know what went down. But if this was, okay, so let's imagine this was Hollywood. Let's pretend I feel like there would have been like a drama around the hair and makeup team or someone didn't get the right, you know, rider. So maybe it was in the realm of that. Yeah, close. Maybe the McLaren wasn't cleaned right.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Yeah, you're close, Dean. You're close. He didn't win enough races for them, so they've decided to hire a new driver. So that, I mean, but you were close. Do we know? Yeah, Dean was spot on. Hair and makeup, not winning races. Maybe they hung the wrong air freshener in his McLaren.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Do we know how much longer he had left on his contract? I think he had another season. Another season to go. Okay, right. Dean, you would love that Drive to Survive show on Netflix. Basically, someone explained to me it's real housewives but they're all men and instead of having lunches and having nice houses
Starting point is 01:03:00 they've got the fastest cars on the planet. Oh. Yeah. I'm into it. No, you're not, Dean. Don't pretend like you are. No, you're not. The drama on that show is top level, though.
Starting point is 01:03:12 It's very, very good. And if that didn't convince you, sometimes Ginger Spice is on the show. Dean. She's sold. She's married to one of the Formula One bosses. Is she? Yes. Ingy, Selling OC starts today.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Yes. It's on Netflix today. I think we all need to get on board. I'm literally going to watch it now. Oh, the new Selling Sunset spinoff. Yeah, I saw that on Netflix. With the Oppenheim brothers. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Okay, good gosh. Yeah, so I remember I gave you guys the tip off about this before it was even announced. I was like, hey, they're doing a spinoff. And here it is today. It's out. I love that. I wonder if we'll see any of, you know,
Starting point is 01:03:43 if we'll see Marissa Cooper or where her family is now. Is she still living in the OC? I love that we I wonder if we'll see any of, you know, if we'll see Marissa Cooper or where her family is now. Is she still living in the OC? I love that we tried to talk about Formula One and we ended up talking about reality TV again. That's good. That's what we do on the show. That's our man in the know in Hollywood, Dean McCarthy. Right, here's some good information
Starting point is 01:04:00 to know going into wedding season. Especially if you're always the bridesmaid, never the bride, because you have to buy a lot of gifts. Yeah, right. A wedding expert. You've been to so many weddings. You've bought so many gifts.
Starting point is 01:04:15 And you've never worn white. Devastating. A wedding expert by the name of Lisa Ford has come forward with some helpful... What makes you a wedding expert? Maybe she's a wedding planner. Oh, yeah, okay. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Maybe she's a celebrant. Yeah. Or maybe she's like what we said, she's a professional wedding guest. She could be. Yeah. She's got some top tips for wedding gift giving, whether you're attending the nuptials of your best friends cousins or colleagues okay cool so all different types um what do you think most people have at their wedding these days do
Starting point is 01:04:52 they register for gifts do they have a um a wishing well combination of those two things okay a registry at a certain like a wedding register at a nice store yep with a list of all the things they need on it, or a box where you can put a card with some cash. Do not go rogue at a wedding in 2022 and just buy a gift. Oh, you reckon that's a bad idea? Do not go and buy
Starting point is 01:05:18 them a nice chopping board. They might get another chopping board or three other chopping boards I just think it's a risky play Unless you know them very, very well and you know exactly what they want Just know your audience They've literally given you a list of what they want It's just easier to select something off that list
Starting point is 01:05:37 I say look for the biggest present at the wedding And then just write your name on the card You know, it's a life hack. Just write and Bree. And Bree. And it's in a different pen colour. Yeah, that'd be me. She has talked about, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:54 what she thinks you should be spending on a gift. Good. If we're talking wedding presents. Yeah. What would you think would be, you know, a decent amount to spend on a gift? A hundred bucks. A hundred bucks. What would you think would be a decent amount to spend on a gift? $100. $100.
Starting point is 01:06:06 She said if you're someone who's attending the ceremony and the reception, so you're an all-day guest, then between $100 and $200 is a nice wedding present. She said whereas if you're just invited to the reception. Oh, no, no one's invited to just the reception. Does that not happen? No, you'd get invited to just the ceremony because that costs nothing. You sit in the church, watch the wedding.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Oh, right. And then they'll go, we want you there. We can't afford to have everybody at the reception, the party with a free bar tab. We'd love to have you at the ceremony. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Gutted. And I'd write back and say, you've invited me to the boring bit.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Exactly right. I want to come to the fun part. Exactly right. I'll pay for myself. I reckon no gift required if you are ceremony only. Right. She said around 50 bucks to spend on, you know, if you're going to just that part.
Starting point is 01:07:02 I guess, yeah, that's nice, Jesha. Yep. She also said if you're very close to one of the people and you don't really know the other one, you should always be trying to find a gift that they both will appreciate. Yeah, of course. You're buying for them as a couple. Don't buy golf clubs.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Was it on this show one time where we were talking to someone who called in and they said they had a wishing well at the wedding saying you know that was going to go towards the honeymoon yeah and didn't it get stolen yes yes yeah yeah and it ended up being a family member that's right it was like an auntie or something like that stole from their wishing well it was like two grand or something yeah a lot of money that's not the best gift quick one if you're going as a couple so i reckon 100 bucks okay the wishing well is a good way of doing it what if you're as a single if you're going as a couple 200 or 200 can you get away with 150 because it's from both depends on how well you know them like if you know one of them really well depends on how hard you plan on
Starting point is 01:08:02 hitting the bar tab. Exactly. Just cover yourself. Cover your meal and your drinks and you're good. I think if it's an anonymous wishing well drop $150. If you have to put it in a card, $200. I'm forgetting inflation though. I'm going on last year's prices. Probably gone up for this season. Way more. Just like everything else. Just like the cost of
Starting point is 01:08:22 fuel. That's us everybody. We are out of here. We'll be back tomorrow on Friday Jams Day with another Friday Okie as well. What did we sing this week? We sang Angel by Shrager. Oh, yeah, right. A little bit concerned we're going to get done for cultural appropriation on this song. Yeah, mine is very weird.
Starting point is 01:08:43 That's all I'll say. Did you do a Jamaican accent? No. Did you? No. I am not convinced. It's just crossed my mind now. We'll call Shaggy.
Starting point is 01:08:58 We're on good terms with her. You're part Jamaican. I am. Yeah, are you? Yeah. Okay. Well, that's fine. At least I hope I am.
