Yeah, but we're back again. So what happens is you come to work on Monday and then you've got to come back and do that all again on the next day on Tuesday. But what about all the stuff we did yesterday? Yeah, that's Wednesday, but then this is a different day. This is Thursday. Right.

And we're going to do this every day until we're 65? Yes. Okay, that's fine. Well, 65 at the moment, I feel like it's going to go up. Going to put it up. Don't put it up. I reckon by the time you and I are looking to retire, the retirement age will be 70. Whenever they talk about it,

young people are always like, yeah, put it up. If we need to save money, put it up. Put it up? And then when you get closer to the age, you're like, why did I say put it up. If we need to save money, put it up. Put it up? No. And then when you get closer to the age, you're like, why did I say put it up? Put it? No.

Who in their right mind? I have never heard anyone say put it up. Don't politicians want to put it up? They're not people. Oh. Well, if you are 64 staring in the barrel of 65 right now, we stand with you. And yeah, bring it down.

55. Yeah, I agree. 55 sounds... No, we should just make it an even half century. 50. An even half century. Yeah, yeah. You work for half your life. Hopefully you live till 100.

Yeah, then you get the other half off. So you don't work for the next half. Yeah. We can afford that, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We can't afford a ferry, but we can afford that.

How annoyed are you at those Amazon speakers for taking your name? Yeah, it's always fun when the kids try to say it and she answers the question.

Oh, no, you're a lovely guy, Pat. Brie and Clint. I want to talk to the gamers. You're a gamer, Brie? Yeah, I'd say I'm a gamer. You're an out and out gamer? Why is it? Should I be keeping it a secret?

Well, no, you're public about it. You've come out as a gamer. Yeah. Yeah. You're happy to talk about it, right? I was in the closet as a gamer. I'm not outing you. I used to game, you know, behind closed doors.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now I'm out and proud. We've got another gamer. I mean, producer Ellie, who's filling in, has a full. She's a gamer. She's got a gaming podcast. Yeah, I know. She podcasts about gaming.

Full-blown gamer. So we're surrounded by gamers. She's a raging gamer. She's a huge gamer. She's game AF. Yep. You're so gamer. Is either of you on the VR headsets when it comes to gaming?

You do have one. I've got the latest VR headset from PlayStation and it is unreal. You use it? I do use it. Not as much as I would say I just play the PlayStation. Normally, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do use it every now and then. Normally, I get it out at parties.

Oh, okay. Yeah, let other people have a spin on the old VR set. You've had a spin on my VR set, haven't you? I can't actually remember because I know you've said I'm a big gamer, but VR sets make me feel very sick. They can make you feel a little bit seasick. Yeah, I get motion sickness. And that's what I wanted to talk about,

the rise of injuries from VR headsets. I was reading this thing today. It's based in America, but it sort of shows you the trend. In 2021, they had 1,336 VR-related injuries reported to emergency rooms. And in 2022, they reckon it doubled in a year. So as these things get more popular and people get more wild

with the movements, the injuries from the VR headsets are going up. And I believe it. You see those videos of someone gets their mum in the VR headset and she gets two into it and then she runs straight into the China cabinet? It does happen from time to time. It's so realistic. Yeah. And it does disorientate

you, like it really does. And if you're in the headset for a long time, like the more disorientated you get. The most common VR-related injuries are bone fractures, followed by lacerations, followed by contusions, sprains and strains. Jeez. How lame to go to work and say that you've got a gaming injury, though.

No, well, you lie. You lie? Yeah. What do you've got a gaming injury, though. No, well, you lie. You lie? Yeah. What do you say it was? Oh, shark attack. Shark attack's a good one. Yeah. Shark attack at Waihi.

I'll see that just off the top of the dome. No lamer than the gardening injury that I got last week. I'd have to say the gardening injury might be lamer. At least the gardening one, there were tools involved. No, but we don't know that. All we hear is gardening. Pulling a few weeds out, were you? I was pulling some weeds out.

Some of the injuries, the VR injuries. I was planting some strawberries and I got into a right tussle. A 60-year-old man ran into a fixed object and fractured his ribs. A 13-year-old boy ran into a table and lacerated his face. A 9-year-old dove and hit his face on a TV stand. And a 12-year-old got a head injury after leaning onto a virtual shelf in VR that caused him to fall into a real shelf in real life. Oh, the irony.

In R. He leaned into a shelf in VR and he hit a shelf in R. We need to set up like a gaming pen. Like if you've got VR, you need like a pen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you lock people in there. Like a kids play pen. Exactly. With foam pads around it. Exactly. I had an accident one time.

Gaming pen is such a good idea. Where I went to a VR centre. You know, like you can go to those actual places and they've got all the different VR kind of games. Where you can like walk along the beam and stuff. Yeah, my brother was visiting and we, him and a couple of his mates and a couple of my mates, we all went down to the VR place

to play a few games. And one of the games was this, I can't remember exactly, but essentially it was your team versus another team. Yeah. And there was this group of, I'd say, quite young boys, like maybe like 19, 20. Yeah. Like young boys versus me and the Motley crew that was my brother

and my friends. Yeah. We're all like in our late 20s. And anyway, we start playing this game where you have to kind of dart and move and like kind of hit people and stuff and essentially my my brother ran into this kid and i'm pretty sure he broke his nose because we had to stop the game wait wait did he virtually break his nose no they they connected in our reality and then the whole game shut down and we all took our headsets off and this kid was just pissing blood out of his face.

That's the thing people don't realise. It's like the Matrix. If you die in the Matrix, you die in real life as well. Same with VR. If you die in VR, you die in real life. I was so annoyed because I paid like 20 bucks for that game. Oh, Andrew Douds at M. I want to know your gaming injuries this afternoon.

Not just VR, any injuries that you've got from gaming. I'm talking like controller-based gaming, Wii Sports Resort-based gaming, or the VR, if you've got the VR goggles going. My nan got tennis elbow from when I forced her to play Wii bowling with me. Does that count? Yeah, that counts. She had to go to the doctor. I felt so bad.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we played all afternoon and then she was getting the hang of it and then, yeah, she couldn't move her arm for three days. If your nan had to get physio from Wii Sports Resort, that counts. What's your gaming injury? No one talks about it. Those Apple Ones are still coming. Are those going to catch on or are they a flop?

I haven't seen anybody using them. I think eventually in the future. The Apple Vision Pros. Yeah, like distant future. People Apple Vision Pros. Yeah, like distant future. People losing their peripherals or their vision altogether and their hearing sometimes. I don't know what I would do without my peripherals. Running

into a bloody coffee table and maiming themselves. Peripherals are everything. Peripherals. Everything happens in your periphery. Yeah. So we want to know what's your gaming injury that you've suffered. Imagine working in midwifery and your peripheries go. If you don't have your peripheries in midwifery. If you don't have your periphery in your midwifery,

then, I mean, you can kiss your job goodbye. You're likely to suffer a big slippery if you don't have your peripheries in midwifery. In periphery. Can you tell we're close to a holiday? Hamish is here. Hi, Hamish. Hi, Hamish. Hi, Hamish.

How's it going, guys? Not enough peripheries right in front of us. Hamish, what's your gaming injury? I actually love this because my brother will be listening to this as well because he listens to you guys. Okay, great. Send him a message through our show, Hamish. This is going back in the days of PlayStation 1,

so I think it would be sort of 2002, 2003. Yeah, sounds about right. My brother and I are having a pretty nice gaming experience until I beat him at, I can't remember what we're playing now. Colin McRae Rally, maybe. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Something like that, anyway. And I beat him at the game, and then he said,

I want to have a rematch. So we have a rematch, and I beat him again. Oh, no. So the injury came after he had a complete rage, pulled the console from the cords, and chucked the entire PlayStation 1 console at my head. I've never heard a more relatable sibling story. Yeah, yeah.

So I ended up going to hospital and after getting three stitches in my head... You're joking! It was safe to say that he was banished and wasn't able to play the console. No. I bet. I don't imagine anyone was.

It was lodged in your forehead. Of all the PlayStation consoles, I'd probably rather be hit in the head by the PlayStation 1. Oh, no, the PlayStation 1 Mini. That's the one I'd like to get. The PlayStation 1, we just plugged that straight back in the wall and it worked totally fine. Oh, wouldn't

happen with the PS5. Those things are fragile. Are you serious? It worked perfectly fine after that. Wouldn't happen with a PS5. Those things are fragile. Are you serious? It worked perfectly fine after that. Yeah, the plastic separated on the front a little bit. Just put a bit of pressure on and clipped it back in. Did you blow on it? Yeah. That'll fix it.

I didn't even need to blow on it. The disc flap holder came open. Yeah. And the disc came out. So did your forehead. Oh, they make it sturdy, don't they? Okay. Thank you, Hamish.

Good insight. What about this story? I'm a physiotherapist and had someone years ago break their gaming chair and it collapsed and it impaled their bottom. Oh! Think computer chair with middle swivel pole up the bottom. I'm in the market for an office chair at the moment. Don't get one like that. No, I will spend good money on it

because the location of that pole is crucial. I don't think I've ever said those. To your anal wellbeing. I've never said those words. I'm in the market for an office chair. I am. I am. But they terrify me.

It's like Final Destination for your bum. I feel like a lot of office chairs suck. Yeah, a lot of them do. You have to be careful. It's a hard market. Naomi's here. Hi, Naomi. Hi, Naomi. Hello. How are you guys? We're good. It says here that you're a hardcore

gamer. What was your gaming injury? Not mine. My friends. So we play World of Warcraft and anyone who plays it knows it's a lifestyle not a game. Absolutely. That's true. And we had a friend who had been gaming for over 24 hours. Had 8

plus energy drinks. We don't know how many. He was gaming with my partner and he actually started gasping and started getting a tight chest. It turns out he had a mini heart attack and he had to get someone to take him to the hospital. Naomi. How old was he?

Just late 20s, so pretty young, pretty young. Very young. Eight energy drinks, no sleep, and a diet strictly of World of Warcraft. Yes, yeah, yeah, definitely that. No job, just a day. What changes have you and your gaming community made since one of your fellow gamers went down with a heart attack?

Nothing much, actually. We just keep gaming hardcore. We do Crate Day and Christchurch every year and down the piss. Please tell me, Naomi, you've switched from energy drinks to kombucha or something. Yeah, yeah. No, we all still drink energy drinks and coffee. Well, it's a lifestyle, right? It is.

It is. It is. If you want to stay up late enough, sometimes you just need an energy drink. You know what they say, Naomi? Don't hate the player, hate the game. Exactly. It's the game's fault, not ours. Live fast, die young.

I like it. Thanks, Naomi. We appreciate it. Bad girls do it. No worries. You have a good day. Thanks, mate. See ya.

No regrets from Naomi. No regrets. Oh, wait. Bring Naomi back on. Oh, Naomi. We appreciate it. No worries. You have a good day. Thanks, mate. See you. No regrets from Naomi. No regrets. Oh, wait. Bring Naomi back on. Oh, she's gone. I was just going to see if she was actually a real gamer. You want to do your gamer talk to her? Yeah, GGs.

Do it in your private time. What is it? Okay. Good gear. I don't know. Bree and Clint. Do you clean your car? Every now and then.

Do you vacuum it out? Yeah. Clean out all the rubbish. Do you get the armour all Every now and then. Do you vacuum it out? Yeah, clean out all the rubbish. Do you get the armour all and wipe down the dash and that sort of thing? I haven't done that for a little while. But yeah, I do wipe down my dash. Do you wash the outside of your car? Yeah, I know. Not often.

This is no shame because what I'm going to say is quite yuck. Maybe once a quarter. Once a quarter? Yeah. You'll wash it or you'll take it through the car wash? No, I'll wash it. You'll wash it. I quite enjoy washing it.

I hate washing my car, but I love having a clean car. I like having a clean car, but just the effort involved with getting it clean, I find. And every day I get in my car and I wipe a little bit more dust off something or I. The screen. Yeah, I get some crumbs out of the get in my car and I wipe a little bit more dust off something or I. The screen. Yeah, I get some crumbs out of the stitching in the seat or something. It's the big touch screen that just shows up every tiny little speck of dust. Yeah, we never used to have touch screens in our car. No, so you didn't.

And now I've got a little fingerprint pad right there in the middle of the car every time we get them. Yeah, I know when I can see where my fingers have been touching the touchscreen that it's time to wipe it down. Do you eat in your car? Not often. I've been eating more and more in my car. And I've been eating things like sausage rolls and pies in my car, which is not good. It's not good for flaky pastry.

You're in the danger zone for flaky pastry. Anyway, I've been meaning to sort it out. Been meaning to sort it out. My problem also is the vacuum cleaner. There's something about car carpet and the vacuum cleaner can't suck the dust out of it. Have you noticed that? That it just won't come out? It just stays in there?

Yeah, I think it's like a tighter knit carpet or something. Have you seen those? They always get advertised on my social media where you like, because I've got dogs and I have the dogs in my car. And so there's always little dog hairs. And then you can always see where they've dragged their wet nose up and down the inside of the window. Yes. And it just looks like, it just looks grotty.

I had a new low in my car yesterday. My dirty car. I got out of the car. I had been eating sandwiches in the car. I stood up, dusted the sandwich crumbs off myself, turned around to get my phone out of the car, and there was a cockroach on the seat of my car. You need to clean it. A cockroach?

I reached in to grab the cockroach and it scuttled down the side between the sender console and the seat and I can't find him. I can't find him and I don't know where he's gone and I don't know if you can like let off like a like some kind of like you know you get those flea bombs that you can let off in your house. I don't know if there's a car version of that or if I can get some kind of fly spray air flea bombs that you can let off in your house. I don't know if there's a car version of that. Or if I can get some kind of fly spray air freshener that I can put in the car. But my car has cockroaches now. And now every time I get in my car, I know I'm not alone.

Because I'm always driving by myself, but I know I'm not alone in that car. Well, if you go back to your car tonight after the show and it's not there, you know where it is. That cockroach has gone in 60 seconds. Yeah. If he's got a key, I am screwed. Yeah. That cockroach is away. You better not have left the key in the visor.

If the cockroach is in there, can you please at least eat some of the crumbs? Like, can you work with me, cockroach? What's grosser than a cockroach? I know something grosser than a cockroach. Oh, maggots. A maggot. A maggot is grosser.

You had maggots in your car when that avocado went off, didn't you? I thought we said we weren't going to talk about that on air. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint's The Glenn Showdown. Can we tell whether you're the eldest, middle, or youngest child by asking you a few simple questions. To avoid any confusion, middle is anything other than oldest or youngest. Yeah, like if there's five of you,

that means the three in the middle are the middle. You're middle. You're not upper middle or lower middle. You're just middle. You're in the middle. You're not one of the important kids, the first or last. You're a middle.

Excuse you. Typical eldest child behavior. Let's go to Jenny first. I know 800 dials at them. Hi're a middle. Excuse you. Typical eldest child behaviour. Let's go to Jenny first. I know 800 dials at Emma. Hi, Jenny. Hi, Jenny. Hi, how are you? We're good.

How are you? Good, thanks. Good. Brie and I are going to ask you one pointed question each, and then I believe we're going to correctly guess whether you're the eldest, middle, or youngest child. I think we've got it. Awesome.

Good luck. Okay, I'm going to go first, Jenny. Yep. Jenny, have you ever hosted a family Christmas for your family, including your siblings and parents, at your house? Yes. Cool. Thank you. That's helpful.

I'm going to go straight in with another Christmas question. Out of your siblings, Jenny, who gives the best presents? Nobody. No one. I know. They're all very similar.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's given me nothing. No, it has. It doesn't help. Jenny's telling you without telling you that her presents are the best. She's the eldest. She's the best. She's the eldest. She's the eldest.

She's the eldest. She's hosting Christmas. That's what an eldest child would say. She gives the best presents, or at least she thinks she does. Lock it in. I reckon we're both on the same page here, Clint. Jenny, are you the eldest? No, I'm the middle.

You're middle? I was sure. You're the middle. You're middle? Yeah, but I just really like Christmas. You've got eldest energy. Jenny, you could L for your eldest sibling because you've got elder energy. Jenny, do you give the best presents?

Probably not. Yeah, I reckon. Okay. Okay. That threw me off. Okay, thanks, Jenny. That's all right, Jenny. It just means we have to be 100% right now.

We've got Richard on the line. Hi, Richard. Hi, Richard. Hey, Jenny. Okay, that's all right, Jenny. Just means we have to be 100% right now. We have to get 100 from here. We've got Richard on the line. Hi, Richard. Hi, Richard. Hey, guys. Richard is a real eldest child name, can I point out? It's a real eldest child name, yeah. It's giving real eldest child vibes. And I actually want to give my question about the name.

Richard, do you personally have any of your dad's names as your first or middle names? Have you been handed down any names from your dad? I have. Yeah, cool. Got it. I mean. It's a sitter. It's a sitter.

If you and your siblings, let's say hypothetically, if this has never happened, but let's say it's you and your siblings went on a road trip, would you be driving? Yes. Yeah, he's the eldest. He's the eldest. Richard, you the oldest child?

We're so short. We were so short last time as well. Yeah. Richard? So I actually gave my eldest son one of my names as his middle name. And yes, I got dad's name because I am the eldest. That's exactly right. Get out of the way.

Come on, Richard. That one was so good, and the questions were so good, it makes up for us getting Jenny's one wrong. Hey, thanks, Richard. Thank you, Richard. You're safe. All good. Thank you.

Best of luck with all that eldest child privilege. Dylan is here. Hi, Dylan. Hi, Dylan. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. Dylan's not eldest child energy. Like, the. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. Dylan's not Eldest Child Energy. Like, the name Dylan.

The name isn't? No. But we need to ask the questions. Let's put it all together. Dylan, what age were you when you moved out of home? 21. Okay. Interesting.

Oh, that. Yeah. No, that tells me something. Okay. Dylan, this is a two-part question, but it's the same question. Did you guys have a dog growing up in your family? Uh, no. Did you have any pets?

Yes. Oh, I see it. We really need to be a dog. I'm going to pivot. Follow through, yeah, okay. I'm going to pivot. Yeah. I'm going to pivot. Follow through, yeah, okay. I'm going to pivot. Yeah. I'm going to ask,

would you say, Dylan, you're the most successful out of the siblings? Yeah. Oh, that's thrown me. That's an eldest child answer. It is, but I don't reckon he is I thought middle I thought middle or even youngest

Oh we've really The question I was going to ask is Did you get to name the family pet Yeah Because that is That was a joint decision Okay Okay

So I reckon there's two siblings then. Yeah. There's two siblings. But what one is he? We've got to lock something in. And I reckon he's the youngest. You reckon youngest? My gut says middle.

Your gut says middle. But I'll go youngest. I'll go youngest. Dylan, are you the youngest child? Yes, I am the youngest. Come on! Let's go! Well done, Bree.

And well done me for deciding to go with your answer, to be honest. It's a team effort. Dylan, we appreciate you, mate. Thanks, Dylan. Thank you. Cheers, thank you. Kept the dream alive. My theory was an eldest child moves out earlier.

So 21 was in line with my thinking that he wasn't the eldest child. That was my logic there. Yep. But then I thought that could be a middle child thing too. You just don't know. It's hard. It's a win. It's a win. Two out of three, that's a win. And we will take it and ride it into the sunset.

Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Bree and Clint's What's the Plot?

We join our hero at rock bottom as she looks to build back from multiple losses to regain her sense of glory. I'm going to Valerie Adams this shit. She has gone. I'm the comeback queen. She has gone over 20 wins in a row before, but that feels like a distant memory now.

It does. It really does. I can't even remember a time I had 10 wins in a row. There are 23 weeks left until Christmas. Okay. We won't be on air for all of those, but I mean, you could be in a very good position by mid-December if you knuckle down and start winning now.

I just need to find the passion again. Standing between you and your comeback today is Lou. Hi, Lou. Hi, Lou. Hi, Lou. Hi, guys. Are you ready to take on a wounded Brie Thomasel in our movie guessing game, What's the Plot? Yeah, I feel like that's the only time I could take her on and potentially win. Okay.

Good. Strike while I'm down, Lou. Lou, I'm going to read out plot lines to movies. Either you or Brie are going to buzz in with your name and guess the name of that movie. I'm looking for the first person to get two movies correct to win the game today and take away the paltry sum of $50 cash, okay? Okay.

Wait, we're dishing it out in chicken now? No, like it means meager. Oh, right. Not much. I think it does anyway. I tried to make a funny joke. It didn't work. With the Olympics kicking off. Oh, right. Not much. I think it does anyway. I tried to make a funny joke. It didn't work. With the Olympics kicking off.

I thought it was funny. Oh, thank you, Lou. Give her the prize. You've got to laugh. I'm trying to build a sense of seriousness, okay? Stop making jokes. Lou and I have a good time. I'm trying to build tension.

Okay. Sorry, Lou. Let's be serious. Okay. Okay. Today, on the eve of the Olympiad, we will be doing movies about sport. Oh, I do love sports films.

Movie number one. Good luck, everybody. Good luck, Lou. Thank you. Good luck. A tennis player turned coach has... Brie. Wimbledon.

Wimbledon is incorrect. Do you want a free guess before I carry on, Lou? No. No? I'll carry on. You're both back in. A tennis player turned coach has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous Grand Slam champion.

To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a challenger event. Bree. Challengers. Challengers is correct. With Zendaya. Oh, that was hard. I wish this was rom-com. That was very... I agree, Lou. I love her.

That is a hard one because it's a very new film. It's a very new film. And I literally just watched it like a month ago. Oh, cheating. The Zendaya one. Yes. It's a very good film. You should watch very new film. And I literally just watched it like a month ago. Oh, cheating. The Zendaya one. Yes. It's a very good film. You should watch it, Lou. Zendaya and two dudes.

It's very steamy. Movie number two. Lou, you need this one, okay? Okay. Come on, Lou. You've got it. A homeless black teen. Bree.

No. The blind side. Shit, she's back. I'm back, Bree. The blind side. She's back. I'm back, baby. She's back. Oh, I feel so bad because I really wanted you to win, Lou. Lou was right there. Did you know that one, Lou?

I thought it was King Richard. I was thinking of the Serena Williams one. God, that's a great guess as well. Hey, Lou, you're such a delight. We've got 50 KFC chicken dollars for you. Oh, thank you so much. And call back when we do rom-coms, okay? I sure will. Great work, Bree.

If we don't give out the theme, she'll never know until she's there. Can't we just get her on when we do know? Yeah, we'll call you, Lou. Okay. Don't call us, Lou. We'll call you. See you, mate. See you.

Next week we'll play for $100. She's won from one call you, Lou. Okay. Don't call us, Lou. We'll call you. See you, mate. Thank you. Next week we'll play for $100. She's won from one. Okay, so. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, Brie. It's one small step. Yeah. I could get 20 wins before the end of the year. You could get 20 wins before the end of the year, yep.

If you really try. Oh, see, now you set me a goal. Yeah. Now I really want to win. If you really try. Oh, see, now you set me a goal. Yeah. Now I really want to win. Does money really buy happiness? It is the age-old question that has been around for a long time. Yeah. It gets

debated very, very often. The common belief is no, it can't buy you happiness. If you're not happy without money, you won't be happy with money. But that is usually the belief of us poor people. True, good point. Is it just what we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel better?

Yeah. Well, there is a researcher by the name of Matthew Killingsworth who has done a study to find if there is a connection. Between money and happiness. Well, essentially he was looking to find a connection between an increase in positive emotional wellbeing and heightened income. Okay.

Among millionaires and billionaires. Oh, way up there then. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, he's got those kind of groups of people together and here's what he did. So essentially he has tried to debunk the theory that no matter how much wealth you obtain, people adjust to normal levels

of happiness and joy and money can buy you happiness isn't as novel. It just kind of plateaus the more money you make. I've heard that. There's a name for it too. And you acclimatise to all the nice things that are around you. Exactly. And then you're like, ugh, my 50-inch TV sucks. Exactly.

Ugh, my 70-inch TV sucks. And you just want more and more and more. Yeah. The results suggest that the positive association between money and wellbeing continues far up the economic ladder. Okay. Say that again. So the results suggest that positive association

between money and wellbeing continues far up the economic ladder. Okay. So let me break it down. It indicated essentially that millionaires and billionaires are happier than those earning up to $500,000 a year and that happiness doesn't plateau the more money you make. So you do get happier and happier and happier the more money you make. That's not the answer we wanted.

That's not the answer we wanted at all. I know. The answer we wanted is there's a ceiling, and when you earn more than that, it's pointless. Not according to this study. According to this study, the billionaires are very happy. Very, very happy. The New Zealand Herald published a chart late last year,

and inflation has been a mother effer, so this is likely out of date now. But they published, you know how there's like a cost of living index and how much you need to earn to live and thrive in a certain city? Yeah. They put one for happiness by city as well. Okay. And according to the New Zealand Herald study last year,

the cost of happiness in Auckland, to live in Auckland City and be happy, you need to be earning $207,000 a year. In Auckland? To be happy, yeah. You need to earn $200,000? Jeez. Same with Wellington.

You can get cheaper happiness if you move to Hobart. That's because things are cheaper. It's only $190,000 to be happy in Hobart. Oh, only? Yeah. Only $190,000, is it? Oh, let's all move to Hobart. It goes up.

You've got to earn $212,000 to be happy in Melbourne. I think it obviously all depends on how expensive it is to live there, right? It's all relative. But I do know that it's hard to be properly happy if you're struggling to pay the power bill, right? And struggling to pay for groceries. You're not happy. You're stressed.

They reckon financial stress is one of the most debilitating stresses. Like it is horrible, financial stress. And so many people will be feeling that at the moment. Absolutely. Survive till 25. I thought we could do a bit of our own research right here, right now, with everyone in the team. Now, producers.

How much do you earn and how happy are you? No. No. Producers, I want you to think of the richest person you know. The richest person you know. Okay, yep. Anyone, can you think of someone? Does someone pop to mind? The richest person you know. Oh. The richest person you know. Okay, yep. Yep. Anyone, can you think of someone?

Does someone pop to mind? I'm not going to name them. Why not? I'm not going to name them. No, why not? No, I'm not going to name them. Oh, no? Because the next question is going to be, are they happy?

I'll name the person I think. No, because it's your uncle. How do you know that? They're not even here. No, the person that we know will be listening. No. Oh, do I know them? I know them Just know that I know who it is in my mind

Okay, how rich do you reckon they are? Very, very, very Like millions? Millions Like in the tens of millions Yes, their family is, yep Okay Producers, do you know anyone that's really, really rich?

I don't know if I know like a millionaire or anything Yeah, neither But I know people who are like well off. Yeah, same. For sure. Okay. Let's start with Ella, the richest person you know. Do you reckon they're happy? Yes, because they give back. Yeah.

Oh, nice. So I know they're wealthy, but they do give back. Okay, so their happiness comes from giving. I think so, yeah. Imagine if they gave front. That would be the duo, wouldn't it? What about you, Ella? I mean think so, yeah. Imagine if they gave front. That would be the duo, wouldn't it? What about you, Ella? I mean, Ellie, sorry. Yes, I've got the person in my mind.

Yes. Are they happy? Yes, but they did also say recently that they're feeling the pinch at the moment. And they actually said, I don't know how you guys are dealing because of how... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

In a nice way. Like it was like... They were trying to be relatable and vulnerable. I don't know how you guys are dealing. Bro, I'm stacked and even I'm suffering. You must be iffed. I don't know how you guys are faring, but I had to get rid of my caviar for my shopping this week.

It's been horrible. Ask me about my tens of millionaire person. Tens of millionaire person. Are they happy? Miserable. Whoa. Really? The whole time I've known them,

they've been trying to find themselves and figure out what the thing is that will make them happy. Well, it's obviously not money. Isn't it? Maybe they just don't have access to enough of it yet because it's family money.

Oh, okay. So are they rich or is their family rich? It's very different. Yeah. In my opinion. They stand to inherit a hell of a lot. Yeah, right. When? Like how old are they? When the parents carker.

Aren't you going to be sad because the parents have just passed? No, you're rich. Not according to your research, no. I'll be exponentially more happy. Brie and Clint. Someone said, I'm poor and very happy because of the Brie and Clint show, including

Ella and Ellie and Claude and everyone else. Send that poor person some KFC chicken dollars, please, Ella. Send them the KFC. Send them chicken. Hook them up with a meal. I've heard chicken out their face. Okay, don't be that aggressive. Okay them chicken. Hook them up with a meal. I've heard chicken out their face. Okay, don't have to be that aggressive. Okay, sorry.

Or do, whatever. A voucher will do. Who's excited for the Olympics? Yeah, me. More and more. I finally don't get excited until they kick off, and then I'm like, oh, my God, there's wall-to-wall sport. It has begun.

It kicked off this morning. I've been watching all morning. New Zealand's doing quite well already. New Zealand won their first football game. Yes. Then they won the rugby sevens. The sevens players are already through to the quarterfinals. Yeah. I feel like the games literally go for like three minutes. Yeah.

Do you feel like that? They go for seven, I think. Is it seven minutes? Isn't it seven minutes a half? So 14 minutes? Yeah, I think so. It's very short. They play multiple games a day. It's so short. Yeah.

There's an article on the NZ Herald today talking about celebrities that could have went or tried to go to the Olympics before they got famous. Oh, yeah. Or even maybe after they got famous. Jason Statham's the poster boy for this, isn't he? Yeah, Jason. Everyone talks about Jason Statham. Jason Statham is at the top of this list

and it talks about how he was a very good diver. Wasn't he an Olympic diver? Didn't he go to an Olympics? It says here, after discovering a love for diving while on a holiday with his parents, he signed up for a club in the UK and was a part of the British team within a year. I wonder if Jason Statham was a better diver than he is an actor.

I don't mind Jason Statham. I didn't say I didn't. I'm just saying. Oh, now you're backtracking. No, I'm not. He went to the Olympic trials, I believe. Jason Statham is one of those actors. No, I'll just stop.

What? No, what were you going to say? Jason Statham plays Jason Statham in every Jason Statham movie, doesn't he? Yeah, he's the Hugh Grant. Yeah, like Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds plays Ryan Reynolds in every movie. Yeah. I don't mind it.

It's not a criticism. He's very successful. Jason Statham, fun fact, went to the Commonwealth Games here in Auckland in 1990. Commonwealth Games, that was it. Okay. Yeah. In 1990. Some of these other ones might shock you. Vera Wang is on this list. The dressmaker. The dressmaker,

yes. The fashionista who looks like she's about 50 and she's like 74. Oh, okay. What do you think she dreamed of becoming a gold medalist for? Vera Wang, I'd say she wanted to be a gymnast or an ice skater or something. A figure skater. There you go.

By 19, she had made a name for herself in the sport, earning a spot in the 1968 US National Championships in Philadelphia. Go Vera Wang. I wonder if she made her own ice skating outfits. Probably. That's pretty cool. Gina Davis. Refresh me on who Gina Davis is.

Gina Davis. She's an icon. She was in one of my favorite movies of all time, A League of Their Own. She's got red hair. She's beautiful. Oh, yes. Gina Davis. Yeah.

What do you reckon she tried to go to the Olympics for? Hammer throw. I think this one quite like shocked me quite a lot because she, at the age of 41, so she would have already been famous, found an archery coach and began intensely training. At 41? In the hope of, yeah, going to the Olympics. And she became so good she participated in the trials

for the US Olympic archery team. That means you and I could go to the Olympics. Should we start out? If we start training now, we're much younger than Gina Davis was at 41. Start our archery career. Yeah. What about this one? I'm actually quite good

at archery. Sorry, just a side note. Are you? Well, I played it on a stag door on Waiheke Island once and I was the best

in our group. Were you? Yeah. Okay. I'll tell you what, you put an apple on your head, I promise you, I'll shoot it off.

I'm going to pass on that one, but thanks for the offer. Bella Hadid. She wasn't close. The super model. The super model, okay. Sister to Gigi. What do you think, yeah, she was really, really

good at? I have absolutely no idea. She dreamed of competing at a race in Olympics in 2016. She was a nationally ranked equestrian rider. Oh, okay. Horse girl. Yeah.

That's pretty impressive. And, of course, we know Cody Simpson's story. Yeah. Cody Simpson always wanted to be. He didn't make it, eh? He didn't make it. This was his last chance? It was his last chance and he was that close.

But, no, he didn't make it. The Aussie team should have put him in for the views. Should have put him in for the publicity. Someone whose spot he would have taken, who would have trained really hard. But Cody Simpson tried really hard. And imagine the TikTok views the Australian Olympics account would get if Cody fricking Simpson was in the Australian national team.

They would get some publicity. The Americans, because the Americans are head to head with the Australians in the pool. Yes. They would have had to put Zac Efron on their team. Or they bring in Miley Cyrus, Cody Simpson's ex, and they battle it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

In the pool. In the pool, yeah. Yeah. All right. Bree and Clint. Oh, I had a big cry last night. Yeah, you were saying. Oh, it was a big one, but it was good.

It wasn't long, because I think when it's too long, it goes into a territory where your eyes begin to get puffy and sore and it's not good. Did you sob? I was sobbing. Did you like gasp? Like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I had cried. So I was laying in bed. I'll set the scene. Laying in bed. I'm watching a movie. Yeah. And my partner. And I had cried. So I was laying in bed. I'll set the scene. Laying in bed. I'm watching a movie. Yeah. And my partner's next to me asleep. And I am sobbing watching this movie.

Okay. And I'm like pulling my T-shirt up, my pyjama shirt, and I'm wiping my eyes. Yeah. And it's a dark shirt. And I'm not joking when I say the entire chest of my shirt was wet. Really? There was so many tears.

Really? Yeah. Leakage. Like so many tears. You need to rehydrate after that. There's a lot of electrolytes in tears. I know. I woke up my partner who thought something really bad had happened

and that's when I had to explain that it was a scene in the movie that I was watching that was so emotional and it made me feel so many things that I was just letting out the biggest roar. Yeah. You must have been due. You must have been due a good cry. And you know what? I was due.

I'll tell you what it was so you can, I mean, if you want to have a good cry tonight, here's my tip. And I've seen the movie before. This is the thing. I've seen the movie before. It's called Hidden Figures. Have you watched it? The one about the African-American woman who helped with the space race.

Yes. Have you seen it? Yeah, I've seen it, yeah. It is a fantastic film, like incredible film. True story. Essentially, it's a true story and it's about, it follows the story of these three black African-American women who are mathematicians and they help and they're so amazing

at what they do. Yeah. But it's set in the 60s, the 50s, 60s, and so they cop all this discrimination. So it's this one scene. This is the scene that really made me emotional so this is the main character this is a based on the woman named Catherine Goebel where she was asked to be in this room of all the smartest minds in America and it was in a building that didn't have any colored

toilets and when I say that because back in those days they separated the toilets and there was coloured toilets and white people toilets which is so ridiculous. So she would have to run across like 40 minutes away to go to the toilet. Anyway, she

comes back into the room and her boss approaches her and is like where do you go all the time? And this is where we'll pick it up from. Where the hell have you been? Everywhere I look, you're not where I need you to be. It's not my imagination. Now, where the hell do you go every day?

To the bathroom, sir. 40 minutes a day? What are you doing there? There's no bathroom for me here. What do you mean there's no bathroom for you here? There is no bathroom. There are no colored bathrooms in this building or any building outside the West Campus, which is half a mile away. Did you know that?

I have to walk to Timbuktu just to relieve myself, and I can't use one of the handy bikes. Picture that, Mr. Harrison. My uniform, skirt below my knees, my heels, and a simple string of pearls. Well, I don't own pearls. Lord knows you don't pay colours enough to afford pearls. And I work like a dog, day and night, living off a coffee from a pot none of you want to touch. So, excuse me if I have to go to the restroom a few times a day. That's so powerful.

She's such an amazing actress. Yeah. Oh, my God. It makes me emotional every time I see it or even just hear it. It's an incredible film. But... You said to me when we were talking about this today, which is the bit that blew my mind.

It led to this conversation off air. I was like, oh, well, okay. I mean, I can understand why that would make you cry. I can understand. Super emotional film. But the bit that got to me was when you said that you cry once every one to two weeks, you'd have a cry. Once a fortnight. Once a fortnight.

Yeah, I'll have a cry once a fortnight. Like a proper cry. Yeah. Like cry cry. Yeah. Not like the cry I had last night. No, but you'll cry. That was like, I wouldn't give... But tears. You'll get tears. I wouldn't give the cry I had last night like a ten out of ten. Okay. Like that was a real good cry. But once a fortnight, you'll what? You'll get at least a six or a seven? Six or a seven.

Yeah, once a fortnight. And what usually does You'll get at least a six or a seven? Six or a seven. Yeah, once a fortnight. And what usually does it for you? Is it always movies and TV? It can be anything. Really? It can be anything. Yeah, it can be a conversation. Like, I mean, I'll give you an example.

I know what it was a fortnight ago, a couple of weeks ago. I was on the phone to my mum and it was my nan's birthday who passed away like a fair while ago but she passed away on her birthday and my mum and I, my mum called me and then we just started talking about my nan and all the things we loved about her and then we just had a cry. Yeah, that makes sense as well. Just had a cry.

But the frequency is so wild to me. I mean, give or take. I'm not trying to be, it's not toxic masculinity. I don't not cry. When was the last time you cried? Last time I cried. Come here, I'll punch you in the arm, you're going to have to cry. Yeah, you've got to punch lower than that.

Last time I cried would have been the start of this year at the end of the TV show One Day. Oh, yeah, I sobbed in that as well. What? Yes, me and my wife cried and held each other at the end of that. My partner, Sophia, I think got the ick how bad I was crying after that show. Yeah. What about you girls?

Am I weird? Do you cry? How often are you girls crying? I would cry, similar to Bree, either once a fortnight, once a month minimum, but more likely twice a month, I'd say, yeah. Yeah, twice a month. I agree with that. And it's also sometimes it's the mood as well. And I'm whim yeah. Yeah, twice a month. I agree with that. And it's also, sometimes it's the mood as

well. And I'm whimpering. Yeah. And then you've just got to cry. And to be honest, like when I say... I'm going to talk to my wife. I don't see her crying that much. When I say once a fortnight, it's not always a sad cry either. Yeah, yeah, same. I've had happy cries as well. Guys, the last time

I cried, I was in bed with Ryan and we started, I started thinking about... Do we want to know the story? Was it that good? I started thinking about a baby. And like, you know, when you're hanging out on a Sunday Arvo, you'd be like hanging out on bed. You're crying over your future baby.

I was a toddler baby and I started crying about our baby and the little feet. And I got so excited. Wait, did you say you started crying about your future baby? Yeah. I'm so... Oh my gosh. I went 100 dials at him. Let's my gosh. I want $100 at him. Let's see if we can get some kind of average.

How many times, well, what are you? How many times a year? I reckon I cry twice a year. Stop it. Twice a year. Are you joking? I'm definitely once a fortnight. That is mind-baffling.

To me, it's cathartic. You need to cry more. You do. It's so good for you. It's like exercise. You guys should try and make me cry. It's quite euphoric. You need to feel. Like a good cry is very euph more. You do. It's so good for you. It's like exercise. You guys should try and make me cry. It's quite euphoric. You need to feel.

Like a good cry is very euphoric. It is. Oh, $800 at him. Are you an always crier or a never crier? Or can you text us with like a number? Yeah. Like what's the deal? How often are you crying?

What's the last thing that made you cry? Or do you not cry at all? Kyla's here on $800 at him. Hi, Kyla. Hi, Kyla. Hi, Kyla. Hi. You used to be a crier, but you're not a crier anymore. Is that right?

Yeah. So I was like back in uni, I used to cry like two to three times a week. And then ever since I kind of stopped and started, I don't know, like working and not being at university and studying, I just don't seem to cry so much. Oh, my God. How often would you say you cry now? I would probably say, like, maybe once every two to three months.

That's quite a big difference for someone who was crying three to four times a week. You obviously weren't happy at university. Study was not for you. Honestly, sometimes who is? Oh, mate, I was not happy. Isn't that interesting? I was not happy one second I was at university.

In your mind and your body, you're telling you, we hate this. Get me out of here. We hate this. We hate this. Oh, that makes me so happy. I'm so glad you're out of there and you're definitely way happier. Let's talk to Yvonne. Hi, Yvonne.

Hi, Yvonne. Hey. How's it going? You text us and you're so interesting. You never cry. No. No. No. It. No.

It just does not feel right. How often, Yvonne? If it was a sad cry, probably once every three, four years. Three or four years? Imagine all of the stale tears that are backed up in your eye ducts. No, I have anger issues instead. Oh, gotcha, yeah, gotcha, yeah. It comes out in different ways.

Do you remember what your last cry was about, Yvonne? Probably something at work may have annoyed me. Yeah, right. It was probably about three years ago. So, Yvonne, you're telling me that if you put on the movie Marley and Me, it would not make you cry? Nah. What?

I watched Hidden Figures. I thought What? I watched Head and Fingers. I thought it was a great movie, but no, it didn't make me cry. Have you watched the movie The Help? Yep. Because that's... Oh, really? Oh, you have no soul. I've been told that.

Do you cry at funerals? I've got babies. No. Wow. No. Wow. No. They should study you. To be honest, it took me about five years to cry when my own mum died. Yeah, okay.

It must be a generational thing. Yeah, possibly. But also everyone processes things differently. Totally. Yeah. I just laugh at everything and shit. Yeah, no problem. Whatever gets you through.

I mean, that's another great emotion. Yeah, yeah just laugh at everything instead. Yeah, no, fair enough. Whatever gets you through. I mean, that's another great emotion. Yeah, yeah. This text is great. Someone said, we're asking how much do you cry? Someone said, I cried nine times last year, and I know that because I made a Google form to track my cries. Oh, this is great. I love it.

Everything from laughing so hard that I cried, emotional music, my friend coming home from overseas, laughing so hard that I cried included watching a funny ballet video, but they're tracking it all on Google. I really want to do that. What a weird thing to do. Mine would have so much data though. Too many entries.

Yeah, too many entries. What about this one? I've only seen my male partner cry once in our entire six-year relationship. Meanwhile, I cry at least once a fortnight like Bree. Could be over anything. Men don't know how to handle it when you cry too. Yeah, why do you guys make it so awkward?

Because we don't cry much. Unless you do. But people don't cry much. So if you are crying, I I'm really good in a situation where someone's crying. I'm real comfortable. I'm not comfortable because I cry so infrequently I feel like it's such a big deal.

Do you understand? I feel like I'm in my element. Not that I like to see people cry, but I love to be there for someone to comfort them. You are good. I have seen it in action. I appreciate that. Someone said, I've got a crying playlist. I put it on whenever I'm driving and in a bad mood. It works a treat every time. I like that. Someone

else said, I'm a 45 yearold woman and I only cry about once every couple of years. It's like the hard stuff in life is too hard for crying, so I'm holding my breath all the time. Wow. Oh, that makes me sad. Another text, I cry every day. I am a vet and I have to break bad news to people all the time and then put their animals to sleep. It's not the act of putting the animal to sleep, but the empathy you feel for the family,

especially if you have known that pet all of their lives. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. And when we had to put our cat down last year, the vet that helped us through it. They need to be paid like a- The most incredible person. A therapist fee or something.

Oh, my God. This one you'll find interesting. It's around your age, male. He said, I'm a 38-year-old male and I cry at least once a week or more. Wow. I wonder, I would love to know from that person- Can we get some more information? Yeah, what type of crying?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you crying over? Yeah. Jess is here. Hi, Jess. Hi, Jess. Hi, team. How's it going?

We're great. Welcome to the great crying survey of 2024. Yeah, yeah. I'm a big crier. You're a big crier? Oh, yes. Welcome to the club. I don't necessarily have a playlist

or like a trigger thing that I use, but I'm a very passionate, like if I try and talk to someone, I get really angry, I'll cry. Or if I'm really passionate, I'll cry. Or if I'm really excited, I'll cry. Yeah. It'm really passionate, I'll cry. Or if I'm really excited, I'll cry. Yeah. It's your default emotion.

Yeah. Yeah, and it's really hard. Like if you're talking to a boss and like you're overwhelmed and you're nervous and then you cry and it's like they think, oh God, this girl's so good. They're like, oh, she's too emotional. She's just putting it on. Yeah.

And it's like, no, no, I'm not. I promise. I'm just, it just comes out. You just feel things really strongly. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. But also, I call it a Grey's Anatomy cry and there's like specific

episodes of Grey's Anatomy that are like the hug, the pillow and sob. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that like the one where they have,

I pop one of those on and it's just, you know. Is that like where they play, is that like where they play Snow Patrol? Chasing cars. Oh,

chasing cars. Sorry, I knew it was one of them. Thanks, Jess. Thanks, team. Have a good I knew it was one of them. Thanks, Jess. Thanks, Dean. Have a good one. We appreciate the info. You go, Jess.

You go live your life as a, you know. As a sobber. As a sobber. I don't know if it's ethnic, but this person said, my workmate is French and she cries multiple times a week. I'm like, oh my God, girl. I cry less than four times a year. It could be.

Like, I wonder if, like, different cultures. Yeah, yeah. Like, there's different standards of... Who cries the most. Yeah, of crying. That was very interesting. I enjoyed that. Very good.

the plasterer, when's the last time you cried? Fuck. Oh, this morning when it rained. Matt. No, I didn't. Matt, no F-bombs. He didn't even realise that he did it. Yeah. There it is. Now he's just realised. That. Yeah, there it is. There we go.

Now he's just realised. That's all right, Matt. It's a mistake. Big day plastering, Matt. Hey, Matty, what's your birthday? 3rd of September, 99. All right. That means you're 16, mate, in 2015.

And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top. How deep is your love? What a tune. How deep is your love, Maddie? In my opinion, it didn't get better than this Calvin Harris album for Calvin Harris. This might be Pete Calvin Harris. What do you reckon, Matt, the plasterer?

Could you get plastered to that? I'd say right. Yeah. Careful. Careful. You know he's got a mouth like a sailor. He's a plasterer. Let's go to Chloe, who's going to do her mum's birthday banger. Hi, Chloe. Hi, Chloe. Yeah. Careful. Careful. You know he's got a mouth like a sailor. He's a plasterer. Let's go to Chloe, who's going to do her mum's birthday banger.

Hi, Chloe. Hi, Chloe. Hello. What is your mum's birthday, Chloe? The 26th of August, 1982. All right. That means your mum was 16 in 1998. And here's her birthday banger.

And I don't want the world to see me. Because I don't want to date a... And here's her birthday band. On a soft rock Thursday as well. I mean, hard to go past the Goo Goo Dolls. Do you know what that is, Chloe? And does your mum like it? Yeah, totally. From the City of Angels soundtrack. Such a good song.

They were in the country at the start of the year. Yeah, I saw them. They were phenomenal. Okay, wait there. Chloe, we're going to do Matt B, our second Matt birthday banger. Hi, Matt. Hi, Matt. G'day, g'day.

Matt 2.0. What have you been up to today, Matt? I've also been working as a plumber. No way. Have you been working with the other Matt? I mean, what a coincidence if you have. I don't think so, no. Matt, you could start a business together

called Matt Finish. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, I thought so. Matt times Matt. Hey, what do you guys, what do you eat for lunch, Matt? What's your typical lunch look like for a tradie

like yourself? Today I had lasagna. Leftover lasagna. Yeah. How many last night? How do you heat that up? Do you have a microwave in your van? I got a microwave at work.

Oh, nice. Okay. Matt, you're living the high life and we love to see it. Hey, what is your birthday? My birthday is October 9th, 1990. All right. That means you were 16 in 2006. And back on that exact date, this was at the top.

Maybe the biggest song of 2006. One of them anyway. What do you reckon, Matt B? Yeah, this got me going back in the memory bank. Yeah, that's the idea. Yeah, but it didn't salvage you, Matty. Okay, wait there. Calvin Harris, Goo Goo Dolls, 60 Back. I know it's a soft rock Thursday, but I'm voting for the Calvin Harris song.

How Deep Is Your Love. Yeah. Matt, number one. Yeah, our first Matt. Yeah, F-Bomb Matt. F-Bomb Matt, yeah. That's what I call him. F-Bomb Matt has won.

He has won? Yeah. You're voting as well? Yeah. Matt the Plaster, you just won Birthday Banger. Congratulations. Ah, is it? Oh, I thought he was going to swear again. Yeah, I the Plaster, you just won birthday banger. Congratulations. Ah, Everett. Oh, I thought he was going to swear again. Yeah, I thought

Nice restraint, Matt. We're proud of you. Nice, Matty. Well done. We're proud of you. And now, as your treat, we're going to play you a song. Right now. Calvin Harris. This is a ripper.

Probably one of my favourites for a while. I left him plenty of room to swear and he didn't do it. He is a ripper. Probably one of my favourites for a while. I left him plenty of room to swear and he didn't do it. No, he's a good boy. Plaster is a good boy. Brian Clint, sit him. Brian Clint. Brian and I both exercised today, didn't we? You exercised.

Yeah, I'm glad you're asking because this is the first day. This is the day, right? In quite a number of weeks. Yeah, I've been in a bit of an exercise rut as well and it's hard in winter feeling shit for it yeah like there's definitely a correlation between your physical health and your mental health absolutely but i was reading this thing today which talks about why you shouldn't feel the need to exercise every single day. You know? Like, you know how if you think you need to get... I don't feel like that. ...get fixed, though,

if you wanted to get into some kind of shape... I've never felt like that. ...you should be pumping it every single day. Nah, not the truth. Well, then this backs up your belief. Just majority. Like, there's seven days, right? If you're doing it in weeks...

Yes. ...you've got to do majority of the days. Not even necessarily that. Four days. Four days, you reckon If you're doing it in weeks, you've got to do the majority of the days. Not even necessarily that. Four days. Four days, you reckon? Yeah. I reckon three. Anyway, what do we know?

Let's go with this. Three. I'm happy with three. This is information from the New York Times. They said the word you should be prioritising with your exercise is recovery. They say that choosing when not to work out is as important as the exercise itself. So resting and recovering is just as important as exercising. Okay, I like this.

My favourite part about exercising is the rest. Listen to this. They said neglecting rest is as bad as skipping out on a whole month's worth of training. Really? Yeah. Not resting, exercising too soon after exercising, depending on the exercise,

is as bad as not exercising for a whole month. Who are the lazy who decided that this was the study they were going to release? What, how little you need to exercise? Yeah. Well, yeah, there's confirmation bias in any of these things, right? I mean, I'm all for it. I'm all bored. They said exercising causes microscopic tears in your muscle fibres.

And as you rest, those fibres are repaired. They adapt and they become bigger and stronger. But only if you rest. It's called supercompensation. And it's what allows you to go harder, faster, stronger, lift more weight, get bigger muscles, that sort of thing. It's tearing your muscle fibres and then resting long enough for them to repair bigger and stronger than they were before. I'm all for this theory.

So how much do you need to rest? That's the question, right? Yeah, that's what we need to know. They say for aerobic fitness, like running or skipping or things like that. Okay. They said it's pretty fast, actually. You should be good to go the next day.

Damn it. Just don't do two runs a day. But if you're doing weight-based stuff. Yep, that's what fast, actually. You should be good to go the next day. Damn it. Just don't do two runs a day. But if you're doing weight-based stuff. Yep, that's what I did today. I wouldn't say it was powerlifting. Well, it was anything with weight. Yes. Any weight-based training.

They said one to two days between each. Really? Yeah, yeah. So by your logic, do it one day, take two days off. Do it one day, take two days off. I like it. Some weeks you'll get three, some weeks you'll get four. They did say you don't need to rest

until you feel 100% before exercising. Like, you don't need to be like... I see what you're saying. They said 80% is fine. You need to be... Yeah. Yeah, right. You shouldn't go in there if you're, like, struggling to walk. But if you are, like, 80% good, you should go and do some more exercise.

How often have I said to you, I'm like, I'm always sore. And then like when I was going, you know, back-to-back days, I'm like, I'm just constantly sore. I feel like my body's just constantly in a state of panic. Yeah, well, according to this New York Times article, it's not because you're exercising, it's because you're not resting. Yeah. Yeah.

Bree and Clint. You do not. Oh, no, wait. What's the other? Is that the other? The other one is the. Double Shadow Whiskey. That's the song I like.

This one is like he's gone. Yeah, a bit too far. He's gone full country. Yeah. Now he's just singing about drinking. Yeah. Yeah. What's the other one?

With Morgan Wallen. That one's a great song. That is actually one of about drinking. Yeah. Yeah. What's the other one? With Morgan Wallen. That one's a great song. That is actually one of my favourite. Yes, I think it's really, really good. Like country collabs I've heard. I Had Some Help. Yeah. I had some help.

Yeah. That's a great song. The Blake Shelton one, I'm just like, oh, it's fine. It's fine. It's just a little bit reductive, I think. No, I have to agree. Yeah, yeah. This is a great song, though.

Okay, glad we cleared that up. Glad we cleared that up. Love you, Posty. Have a great night, everybody. We'll catch you back tomorrow on the Brian Clint Show for Friday. Bye-bye. Don't you baby, I'll...
