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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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

Bree and Clint.
So, for Tradie versus Lady.
Bree and Clint. It's time for Tradie vs. Lady. Bree and Clint.
Tradie vs. Lady.
All right, here we go.
The Tradies and the Ladies.
The Tradies having a couple of good games to start off the week,
sitting at 73 wins for the year,
and the Ladies still trailing on 61.
Let's go to our Tradie first for a change.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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,
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.
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.,
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
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
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
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,
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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,
spanning multi-generations,
today is the 64th birthday of Tim Burton.
Right.
Brilliant.
Oh, no.
You're a fan, Mel?
Yes, big fan.
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
You can buzz in if you want to.
Okay.
I'll let you keep start first.
Okay.
When the unbearable...
Brie?
Brie.
Beetlejuice?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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?
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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...
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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-
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Jamaican me nervous now.
I did an Italian accent because I knew that was safe.
Well, we'll see you tomorrow, everybody.
Something to look forward to.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
