Kia ora everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. Just a quick update on the birthday issue that I had, for those who cared. Read, nobody. And I said I need help figuring out what I want for my birthday. Sorted. Sorted it. Oh, you did? I got it sorted.

A new Audi. Another one. No. Another 75 inch TV. No, shut up. Oh, I just had an idea. And you know what? Another Thermomix. Lay it on me up Another thermomix Lay it on me

Another thermomix What Ben what do you got A trailer Oh I love a trailer You don't have room You don't have room You're on the street mate No I've got to the heart

Of why this was an issue By the way Because you have everything No that's Nice That's one way It's kind of true That's one way of looking at it

You have everything You could ever dream of The other way is I don't want anything I don't Because you have everything I'm quite happy to get nothing for my birthday Because you have everything you want

Maybe I feel like that is true Maybe I don't know if that's true Maybe Clint would you like a batch? We're talking about a birthday present He doesn't have everything you want

Oh suck it Okay what did you go with mate? No so I figured it. Because I genuinely would be happy with breakfast. You know? Just like a gesture. Oh, I should have said breakfast. Yeah, that's good. Anyway, I'll send off my wish list. Your wife cooks you every

meal anyway. True. Every day's my birthday. Every day is your birthday. Man, I must sound like such a friggin' arsehole in these things. What was on the list? I mean, is your birthday. Man, I must sound like such a frigging asshole in these things. What was on the list? I mean, you said it. Yeah, right? I swear I have redeeming qualities.

God, I would love that if someone cooked me every meal. Yeah. That'd be so good. Here's the trick. Be shit at cooking. Because I'm willing to cook. Yeah, but is that a cop out? It is a cop out.

Because you could get good. You're not stupid. I could get good. You're not stupid. I could get good, but I have a very pragmatic and realistic partner who doesn't want to suffer through three years of trial and error dinners before I break through. Mine is I take too long. I mean, where's the growth? Where's the encouragement to better yourself?

Maybe one day a week you should make an effort to cook something. Right. Well, we can work on that Maybe he could cook for us one time Let's not bring us into this I don't want to be brought into this Anyway do you want to hear my birthday options Yes

Definitely T-shirt Yep Denim jacket Book Three options I'll be happy with any of them You are old aren't you

What kind of book Jack Reacher Because I've started reading 2021 that's my new thing I'm a reader now I'm a Jack Reader I hope that I'm after that Two thirds of the way through a Jack Reacher book Who asks for a book not me

Well me because I'm a mature Sophisticated man Who wants In that t-shirt, I don't know. That T-shirt doesn't say sophistication. That T-shirt is awesome. And the only people who will know that are people who are fans of 90s rugby. So, okay, I heard myself say it out loud.

Niche group. Very niche. Ben, do you know who Tana Umanga is? I do, yes. Okay, sweet. Sometimes I don't know. I don't know where the age gap starts Yeah right yeah Okay

I thought my soda stream was going to go But you haven't Soda streamed it No I forgot Thoughts on a work soda stream? Nah If I paid? You'd have to have your own bottles though. I'm not a fan

of sparkling water. I think it's wanky. Sparkling water. I love it when you go to a place. I just think it is. But if you make it yourself, it's not wanky. No, that's even worse. Is it? Yeah. I just like it because it makes my water fun. It gets me through the first bottle of the day because it's more exciting.

Did anyone else just hear that, Al? So what is a sparkling water? It's just carbonated water. Yeah, right. It's actually bad for your teeth. No, that's a lie. No, it isn't. We got that person on that time and they said it's true. Well, it's not bad for your teeth, but it's not great for your teeth.

Look, mate, if you enjoy it, then that's fine. Yeah. I feel like it makes me more thirsty when I drink it. Good. I can see that. Because it means you'll drink more. No, because then I have to go to the toilet more, which I'm not a fan of.

I feel like I know I'm getting older because I have to go to the toilet more these days. And I'm like, oh, the old bladder's going. The old waterworks ain't what they used to be. Yeah, I used to, you know, Alan, Big Gay Al. Yeah. He, oh my God, He's obsessed with sparkling water Like a

You got him a soda stream Yeah I got him a soda stream For his birthday Because that's how much He loves it Not a San Pellegrino guy Alan's a sparkling water guy But

He doesn't like to spend money No he buys the He buys the one dollar bottles From Countdown Oh I do like those But bad for the environment Yeah Do we think there's any difference

Between a San Pellegrino And a one dollar1 supermarket sparkling water? No, same. I don't think so. It's all just spring water with bubbles in it. How can you make the bubbles different? Or is it the water quality that they're talking about? Is it, though?

You know when you go to a restaurant? I don't really care about it. You know when you go to a restaurant and they say to you, would you like... Still or sparkling? Still. Tap. No, would you like tap still or sparkling?

Never ever order the still or sparkling, especially the sparkling because it costs like $12 for water. But these days quite a few places have it on tap now, like it's free. Oh, not where?

I get that, because then Brie, you'd have to ask the question and you'd go, I'm interested in the sparkling water, but how much is is that? I get that. Where is that? Because then, Brie, you'd have to ask the question and you'd go, I'm interested in the sparkling water, but how much is it? That's what my, yeah, that's what happens. And then they'll go, oh, sorry, man, would you like to see a water menu? Well, you know, we went to this restaurant in Akaroa and they told us, because obviously they think the prices are ridiculous, and they go, do you want tap steel or sparkling?

My partner loves sparkling. So we were like, sparkling. And she goes, oh, it's actually $14 a bottle. Whoa. And we were like. Was it antibodies? We're like, tap's fine. Right.

Akaroa, they're catering. Sorry, Akaroa. They're catering to rich cruise ship people. It's a lovely spot. Lovely place. Beautiful place. But yeah, it was a fairly fancy restaurant. Yeah. But $14 for water a fairly fancy restaurant. Yeah.

But $14 for water that you can scoop out of the river. No, thank you. That should be one of the options. Would you like still sparkling tap or should I go scoop it out of the river? River, please. I'd like some river water. Yeah. Get me a reed in there as well.

Some lovely river water. Yeah. A few pebbles down the bottom. I'm just used to drinking water that tastes a bit dirty because we grew up on tap water. I mean tank water, sorry. Tank water, yeah. Did you guys have your own?

We lived on a farm. Concrete tank or plastic tank? Because I think they taste different. So in our early years, only a concrete tank. But then when they renovated our house They put in a plastic tank Plastic tank way better Also because it's new

Did you ever find anything dead in your tank? I want to talk about it Yeah that happens a lot And you don't know for a long time Because no one's checking the tank every day They didn't call that show Water Rats After Nothing Rats After Nothing. Rats, possums, birds just decaying in there.

Okay. All right. Okay. Cats. Cats? Where are you bloody living? You're having a glass of water and you're like, I haven't seen Fluffy for a while. Where is Fluffy?

Have you done something to this water? It tastes savoury. Here's a question. Speaking of Fluffy? Have you done something to this water? It tastes savoury. Here's a question. Speaking of Fluffy, we took Whitney to a cafe yesterday. What a segue. I want to see if you guys frown upon this. You're there shit inside. No!

We were sitting outside, right, at this cafe and we ordered food and I noticed that they had a thing called a Fluffy on the menu. Oh yeah. Yeah, for kids. Yeah thing called a fluffy on the menu. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for kids. Yeah, where they fluff up the milk. You ordered one for the dog.

Yes, that's frowned upon. And then we gave it to her in the cup. Yeah, that's frowned upon. Why is it frowned upon? No, because they're people dishes. And they're shared dishes. And I don't want to see that. They wash it with hot water.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. No one thinks your dog is as clean as you do. And that's not you specifically. That's every dog owner. No one. And cats too. Yeah, but cats have a disease that we don't want.

So do dogs. What disease do dogs have? Dog. Dog. Kennel cough. Dog. We can't get kennel cough. We can't get feline AIDS either.

We can get that thing from the cat wee. Oh, toxoplasmosis. Yeah, that shit's scary. Yeah, well. Well, that's only for pregnant women though, isn't it? I don't know. I don't want to know. I don't want to specify.

I did feel like we did have to hide it. You should have got it in a takeaway cup. So you know it's wrong if you had it. Yeah, I didn't think about it. Yeah. And then I, well, I'll remember for next time. Also, are dogs allowed milk? Yeah.

Are they? Because cats aren't. Oh, we used to give our cats milk all the time. I thought that was the whole thing. Yeah, they're not supposed to give them to them. Yeah, but they were fine. You all got farm cats. Yeah, farm cats are bloody.

You've got farm cats. They're a different breed. Those things are resilient AF. The cats are, I've spent three weeks in the water tank and I'm fine. Anyway, next week, if you see me stroll into the studio in a new jacket with a fresh T-shirt and a book under my arm, you'll know I hit the birthday jackpot. Also, happy 41st for next week.

Bush nuts. I want to know from vending machine people, because obviously you've got to have your staples and people will be peed off if you get rid

of their favourite thing. But do you have one or two rows where you experiment with stuff? And you're like, oh, we'll put this in here this month and see how much of it moves. They got rid of my favourite thing at this vending machine. What was that? It was the mini packets of barbecue shapes. Bring them back!

Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Call anytime, Shonda. All right? Thank you. This is info that should be helpful. Might not be. For anyone who is a snorer or anyone who sleeps in a bed with a snorer.

There's a snorer in my bed. It's you. And we haven't figured out who it is. No, it's you. I'm fairly confident it's not my wife. My favourite comment from Clint when we were talking off air about this is, no, I'm like a cute snorer, like not a loud one. I think I'd be like, how would you know?

You're asleep. I think I'd be like a little pug. From what I've heard from your wife, it's not cute. Her snoring? No, your snoring. Well, we don't know if it's her that's snoring or not. You don't talk about a pregnant woman like that. Could be the cat.

We haven't pinpointed it. In my relationship, we don't like to point fingers. We just know that somewhere in the relationship exists a snorer. This is not audio from my marital bed. No, this is audio. No, it's not. We've recorded. We got Lucy, your wife, to record this.

Look, there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon for snoring relationships, okay? A doctor by the name of Sophie Bostock has gone on the TV in the UK with revolutionary advice for snorers. Yeah, divorce. How you can stop snoring. Yeah, separate bedrooms, separate houses.

No. Some snorers' separate bedrooms wouldn't even help. They snore that loud. My dad's one of those people. Really? I can hear him, well, in our old childhood house, we could all hear him. Right.

The walls might have been thin, but he was that loud. Is that why there's a mattress in the back of the Ford Ranger? Yep. For the bad nights. He sleeps in the ute. Okay, so her advice for people to stop snoring, the thing that is going to save you and it's going to save your relationship from snoring is a tennis

ball. Yeah, this is bizarre. She says, if you sew a tennis ball, the majority of snoring is because you're sleeping on your back. So if you sew a tennis ball into the back of your pyjamas, when you roll onto your back in the night, it will be uncomfortable and you'll turn back onto your side. I go, as a heavy sleeper and probably quite a heavy snorer,

I'd sleep through that. I think it needs to be more like a cricket ball or one of those spiky exercise balls or something like that. You know what we should do? I might come up with a contraption where I'll put these, you know, like those shock pads? Electrodes. Yeah, and every time you lay on it, it just gives you an electric shock.

Why do you care? I'm not sleeping with you. I know, but I care about your wife. So do I. Do you care enough? That's why I'm going to sew a tennis ball into both of our pyjamas. No, that's not how it works. She's not the problem.

You're the problem. Anyway, that's the solution that's been offered up. Put a tennis ball in your pyjamas so that you don't lie on your back. That's such an old school thing, I reckon. Right? Yeah. But I mean, it makes sense. Or make the back of your pyjamas Out of those sharkty mats

That would do it Wouldn't it Yeah Yeah Can you imagine Wouldn't be very enjoyable If you were doing any activity In the bed that required you

To be on your back But Or maybe it would be enjoyable I don't know what you're into I don't know how your relationship Operates We want to talk to people This afternoon

Who are in relationships Where snoring is a problem How bad of a problem is it? What have you tried? Yes. What's the situation? What came of it? Maybe snoring cost you a relationship.

Maybe someone left you because your snoring was so bad. Or maybe you have a unique setup, like a unique arrangement, which helps you manage the snoring situation in your relationship. Yeah. What works for you? Oh, $800 at M, or you can text us on 9696. And sure you don't want that shock unit, I can whip one up real quick. Like that birth simulator that I wore that time.

Or just put it on your back and your bum cheeks. Snoring? No problem. Just sew a tennis ball into the back of your pyjamas. That's the solution. That'll solve everything. I'm so glad that I don't snore. Do you not snore? Do you know that you don't snore?

Well, I've never been told that I do. Yeah. Your partner works some rough hours, though. Maybe she just sleeps through it. Yeah, maybe. Why do men snore more than women? That's a great question. Why is that? I don't know. Because, I mean,

is that right? It feels right. Do men snore more than women? Let's Google it. I mean, my, yeah, without any science behind it, I would say yes. Here we go. Yeah. Men have narrower air passages than women and are more likely to

snore. There you go. It's not our fault. It's not our fault. It's a narrow throat and cleft palate. You guys should be more tolerant. Large adenoids and other physical attributes that contribute to snoring are often hereditary. You guys should be more tolerant of our issues. We want to know this afternoon on 0800 DALES.

Is snoring a problem in your relationship? Lou's called up. Hi, Lou. G'day Lou. Hey. Hey, how you doing? Good. Who's the snorer? It was one of my ex-partners. Oh no, Lou. Yeah, yeah. It was, you know, I'm a pretty deep sleeper and for me to be woken by anything is pretty unreal. So

yeah, it was a snore and a half. Yeah. And I used doTERRA essential oils on his feet before bedtime and used the thyme oil with fractionated coconut oil and it worked an absolute treat. Really? Okay, there are going to be people out there who want to write this down and try it on their partners.

What did you say you used? doTERRA. doTERRA. Yeah, doTERRA. DoTERRA. D-O-T-E-R-R-A. It's an essential oil. Sounds like an athlete's foot rub. And it's the Time One T-H-Y-M-E

with fractionated coconut oil. Put it onto your big toe at bedtime and boom, no more snoring. Buzzy. That sounds so bizarre, but I would give it a go if my partner snored bad. Lou, no offence to your remedy, but I think legally we have to go.

We are not clinical, it's like medical practitioners. Do not do this without consulting your GP first. But thank you for the advice. We really appreciate it. Let's go to Jordan. Hi, Jordan. Hey, how's it going?

Who's the snorer, Jordan? Is it yourself? Oh, I would have to say it's me, yeah. Well, you've been told, Jordan, that it's you. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, sometimes I've been awake while she's been in bed and it could be her sometimes, but for the most part, it's me, yeah. Have you ever snored so bad you've woken yourself up?

No, I can't say. Well, I'm guessing that if I'm snoring, I'm in a really good sleep. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're in your REM sleep. Yeah, well, that's good, so long as it's not affecting your sleep. Yeah, exactly. You're getting those Zs, Jordan. How do you and your partner deal with it?

What's the thing you're doing to make the snoring situation work? Well, I mean, there's not really much I can do. I do get really filthy looks in the morning, so, you know, I try and do things like vacuum the house and clean the kitchen and get the kids ready. Oh, that's thoughtful, Jordan. Yeah. That's nice.

It still doesn't work. She goes, you should be doing those things anyway. When she's overtired, that's not going to help. Okay, thanks, Jordan. Let's go to Kim last. Hi, Kim. G'day, Kim. Hey, how's it going?

Good, thanks. Who's the snorer, Kim? It is me. It's you, Kim. A's the snorer, Kim? It is me. It's you, Kim. A lady snorer. They exist. It is me. I've got really bad sinus.

I don't know if you can hear it, but I actually can't breathe out of my nostrils at all. Sounds like you've got big agnoids. What are they called? Yeah, I've actually, I've bursted my terminus before from snoring. I snore that loud. Is this you 24-7,

the way you're speaking at the moment? Yeah, so I've suffered from snoring since I was about 15, and yeah, I'm 30. Oh, bless you. I snore like this 24-7. Do you have to wear like a sleep apnea mask or something?

So my nighttime routine is I do two nasal rinses, which is putting the water up your nose that comes down the other side. My five-year-old finds that hilarious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that twice. Yeah.

And then I've got to put two storing strips on. And then I've got to put like a little spiky ball under my pillow to keep my head upright. Otherwise, I just wake myself up. Have you ever thought about getting your adenoids removed? Because my cousin had that. He had horrible, horrible allergies and he got them removed and it just cleared everything up.

Yeah, I have been told that, but I think I'm enjoying annoying my husband too much. And you could do a great voiceover for any of those allergy tablets, you know. You'd be the perfect for those voiceovers. Absolutely. Everyone thinks I've got COVID these days. Oh, yeah, there's an issue, yeah. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.

This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Brooklyn Beckham's in the news today, Dean, because he has got an interesting new tattoo for his partner. Tell us more. He has. This is the fifth tattoo he's now gotten on his body for his fiancée. They're very madly in love, everyone. But this one is particularly unique. So on the back

of his neck, Brooklyn Beckham as in like the son of the hottest couple that ever lived, it has the poem that his fiancee wrote him. So she wrote this poem. Not that great. Wasn't that great. Not going to lie. Really? Best poem I've ever read. Probably the worst. Yeah. Haven't read a good poem in a while. But anyway,

so he's tattooed the poem on the back of his neck and it has divided fans. Some people are like, wow, that's so cute. Other fans are like, girl, that is a bad luck thing if I've ever seen. I can tell you from a personal experience, my brother Adam got Amy on his heart. Broke up. No.

Destined for breakup. It's a curse. If you get a tattoo. Yeah, it jinxes it. The poem is not the weirdest bit about this tattoo. It's got a set of human eyes tattooed directly above it on his neck. Those are her eyes. Yes.

You know, all I can think of is his girlfriend or his fiancé just being like, I'm always watching. He literally has eyes in the back of his head now. Wazowski, I'm always watching. He literally has eyes in the back of his head now. Wazowski, I'm always watching. And her eyes. Yeah, right. Well, good for them. It works for them.

It's a bit intense for me, but you know. Always watching. That is the latest on Brooklyn Beckham and his tattoos with Dee McCarthy. Our Hollywood correspondent. Thanks to the shadow in the cloud. Don't miss the shadow in the cloud. It's in cinemas on the 4th of February. Brian Clint. Brian Clint.

This is something, Clint, you haven't heard this, but this is something for our Norway listeners. Oh, our Norwegian listeners. Our Norwegian listeners. So if there is any of you listening, we need your help. Are you meant to greet them in their native tongue? In Nordic? No.

No. Does Anastasia know? She's pretty versed in some European languages. Do you know how to say hello to our Norwegian listeners? No, I don't. Good answer. I only do Dutch and German. Okay.

Anyway, I saw this on TikTok and it was a girl talking about she claims to be Norwegian and she probably is. And she started talking about this certain thing that they do in Norway, which I call BS. Right. So we've got the TikTok here. We're going to play it for you. This is the claim that this norwegian girl is making about norway you guys want to know why there are barely any overweight people in norway the

government has this scheme so basically if you want to order stuff online like uber eats or just eat whatever you have to register your body mass index which is like your bmi um so if you're fat you can't buy it also if you physically want to go to the shop and get it, you have to step on a scale, like a weight, and if your weight doesn't match your height, you can't buy junk food. That's just the government saying like, we love you guys, we want to take care

of you. So yeah, that's why we don't have any overweight people. No, fake news. Is it? 100% fake news. Are you sure? 100% that's fake news. Because I mean, obviously, It's fat shaming. Everything in my body was like,

there's no way that this is true. You didn't genuinely think that was real, did you? No, I never thought it was. Right, right, right, right. That's fat shaming. But it's horrible. It's horrific. It's horrible.

Also, BMI is not an accurate indication for healthy body weight anymore. Like, we're past that, aren't we? BMI's a load of crap. BMI just goes, how tall are you? Okay, this is how much you should weigh. Yeah, not based on anything else. And there's not even a BMI version for women and for men.

And we're both shaped differently. One load of BS. Anyway, I just wanted to double check with our Norwegian listeners. I'm glad you did double check before you shared it It seems like it's the plot of a rom-com Friends for years Maybe both in relationships for a long time And then eventually it turns into love

If it turns into love that's okay If it turns into a drunken one night thing and ruins your friendship I mean that can happen too. That can happen too. And it's happened probably many times. I reckon it's happened more times than it's resulted in love. That's the issue. I think so as well.

But apparently not the case for Kourtney Kardashian, who is reportedly dating long-time friend of more than 10 years, Travis Barker from Blink-182. Where are you? And I'm so sorry. Where are you? Where are you? I'm so sorry.

I didn't even know they were friends. Yeah, I didn't either, but apparently they have been friends for a long time. She's 41, he's 45. I think it seems like a good match. Is the drummer from Blink-182 45? Yes. Wow.

How old do you feel now? He's the one that was in a plane accident, wasn't he? Yeah, with DJ AM. Yeah. Like real hectic, yeah. Yeah. DJ AM died. Yeah.

Yeah. Real scary. And then Travis Barker didn't fly anywhere for a long time. As he probably would. So you could only see Blink-182 in the States. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, apparently...

He'll have to get over that if he wants to date Kourtney Kardashian because she only travels by private jet. Well, she doesn't travel all that much because she's got like, oh, how many, carry the one, 16 children now. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, apparently they've been dating for a couple of months now.

Has anyone asked Scott Disick how he feels about the situation? Not that it's any of his... Well, it is his business. Well, is it his business? He doesn't get a say. Well, I mean, if Travis is hanging out with these kids, that's when it's his business. Yeah, that's...

Yeah, if he's teaching them how to drum. But I think the Lord Disick would be fine. How pissed off would you be if your ex started dating a drummer and he tries to bond with the kids, so he buys them a drum kit and then when you're looking after them you've got to put up with their drumming. Oh, what a pain that would be.

Yeah, that is a pain. Has this ever happened to you? Where you've been friends with someone for a long time? Did someone buy my kid a drum kit? No, no. Not that specific. No, where you've been friends. My wife and I were friends first.

Like good friends? Yeah. Or more like acquaintances? No, more than acquaintances. We were in the same friend circle though. Right. But she wasn't my best friend beforehand. Right.

So kind of. What about you? Yeah, I was really. Oh, you've told me about this person. Yeah, I was really good mates with someone for a long time, probably like five years. And then one time at a party there was like a weird thing happening where dares were being thrown out to people

and then someone dared us to kiss for ten seconds. You and your best friend? Well, we weren't best friends but we were very close, like close friends. And we were like, oh, no, that's too weird, and they're like 50 bucks and we were like, okay, because we'd had a few drinks and then... Ten years of friendship, 50 weird. And they're like, 50 bucks. And we were like, okay, because we'd had a few drinks. And then.

Ten years of friendship, 50 bucks. Ten years of friendship, 50 bucks. And then someone caught feelings and the rest is history. Was it you? No, it wasn't me. We dated for like four years after that. Oh, okay. So I did eventually.

But not in that initial moment is what I'm saying. I hope you felt something by year three. I hope you eventually got. Right, so you're obviously. I gave it four years. Turns out I didn't feel anything the whole time. No, I'm just kidding. That's not the person you're with now, is it?

No. So what did it do to the friendship? Don't, okay. It was. That's all right. It wasn't. Wasn't the best thing for the friendship? No.

Should we leave it at that? No. Which I don't think it ever could be Yeah I really admire the people that Can come out of it and still Be as good of friends Which I think it does exist I think that does still happen sometimes

Well Courtney and Scott are friends aren't they Yeah they're still mates But I mean they weren't friends first No right okay You know what I'm saying I'm talking about those relationships that start with an actual friendship first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

Who do you want to talk to this afternoon? Do you want to talk to people who took their friendship to the next level? Yeah, but I want to talk to the people that, and I'm not, you know people that are friends with someone for like three months and then they hook up? Not that. Not that. I want to know from people, were you friends with someone for like three months and then they hook up. Not that. Not that. I want to know from people, were you friends with someone for like five years?

Did you marry your best friend from high school? Yeah, like a long time and then something happened or someone eventually was like, I've got feelings for you and then it turned into a relationship. Or it ruined the friendship. Yeah. Your best friend said they were in love with you and that was the end Of your friendship

Yeah Maybe it didn't work out 0800 dial ZM You can text us on 9696 How long were you friends for And then it turned romantic The good and bad stories

The news on the street Of Hollywood Is that the Kourtney Kardashian Is dating Travis Barker From Boyfriend 82 The Kourtney Kardashian is dating Travis Barker from 2018. The Kourtney Kardashian. Sorry. I was often, I was reading this. Kourtney Kardashian. I was reading this

text that was quite entrancing. Because we're asking you, were you friends with someone? Because Kourtney and Travis were friends for a long time and then ended up now it's become romantic. Someone texted through and they said, friends for 17 years, everyone thought we were married.

Oh, no, it says everyone, yeah, everyone thought we were married. After I divorced, we got together and he asked me to marry him, but I said no as he wanted children. I'd had a hysterectomy and I'd had a hysterectomy. We split as friends, stayed friends for another 18, oh no, we split as boyfriend and girlfriend, stayed friends for another 18 years after that, but his new girlfriend told him to choose between us. Oh, don't you hate it when that happens.

Oh, that sounds like a TV show drama episode, doesn't it? Sarah, did you and a friend take it to the next level? Yes, we did. How long were you friends for, Sarah? So our mums were best friends and we were actually in the hospital together when we were born. Whoa.

So you were like grown up together then. It's about as far back as it can go. Pretty much as far back as it can go, yep. And what happened? Well, we grew up as friends, etc, etc and we started dating when we were about 18. Was that weird,

Sarah, can I ask? Like when, like the first time you guys kissed after knowing each other your whole life and kind of being like, you know, I don't want to say brother and sister, but do you know what I mean? And then that first time when you kiss and like you've never done that before, was it weird? It was – no, I don't think it was because we had like crushes

on each other for quite a while. Yeah, maybe it felt natural then. It kind of did, yeah. And so that was 18. How old are you now, and are you still together? 32 now. Not together, but still best friends, and we have two beautiful children.

Good outcome. Not a bad outcome at all. Well, that's a great outcome. And probably because you were friends for so long beforehand. And the kids helped too, I think. And the kids helped. You have to keep seeing each other. This person wants to remain anonymous.

Hello, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi. How long were you friends with them? So, we were friends after dating for a month for about seven, six years or something like that. I forget the exact number, but I was 16 at the time when we first started

dating, and I'm 25 now. And so you're still together? And we're still together. Yeah, we're now engaged. A year ago, we got engaged, and we have three kids together. Oh, lovely. So would you recommend anyone who's got a crush on their best friend to put the moves on?

Is that your advice? Hal, yeah. So I can say Hal, right? Yeah, you can say Hal. Yeah, so we both had our own, like, after dating, it didn't work out. It was only for like a month. He went off and did his own, like, you know say help. Yeah, push again. Yeah, so we both had our own, like after dating, it didn't work out. It was only for like a month. He went off and did his own, like, you know, other relationships. I went off and did mine.

We both had a child, like, outside of our relationship. Oh, whoa, okay, yeah. Yep, and then we came together about seven or so years later when both of our partners were like, you guys, I think you're in love with each other. And we're like, no, we're not. Like, whatever. Turns out they were right.

You're like the modern day Brady Bunch where you guys join back together. I love that story. Okay, and finally, Emma. Hello, welcome to the show. Hi. Okay, how long were you friends with this person before it became romantic?

So probably about 19 years. We're 27 now. Yeah. And we were about eight or nine when we probably first met properly. Wow. And how long have you guys been dating? So we are engaged. We've been engaged for two years, together for three, and we have two kids.

Wow. Wow. And who made the first move emma um okay so i feel like i made the first move there was alcohol involved so i think we were both alcohol made the first i was gonna say you could say tequila made the first move i'm a mutual friend actually knew that we were kind of into each other and kind of put it together like it wasn't an event that I normally would have been invited to, but they made me be invited.

You know what's great about this? Because you've known each other since you were eight years old, there's no awkward meeting the parents because you've probably met them a hundred times and stayed at their house before. I always say it was my favourite part about it. Our parents didn't need to meet each other. Our whole families didn't need to meet each other

because we're army families, so everybody already knew each other. Our whole families didn't need to meet each other because we're army families, so everybody already knew each other. There you go. It was a little bit awkward when I came out as a 24-year-old from his bedroom because he was living with his parents, and his mom and his auntie were on the couch. Hi, Mrs. Sullivan. That's exactly what it was like. Oh, no, Emma.

Oh, good. Well, that's lovely to hear, Emma. Congratulations, guys. Lovely. Bree and Clint. Are we using the app? Are we scanning in everywhere we go? Are you using the app everywhere you go?

Depends what app you're talking about. I'm talking about the COVID-19 app, okay? Oh. I thought you were talking about that other app. No, why are you using that app? What app are you talking about? Oh, I don't know. I'm talking about scanning in when you go places

so people know where you are. We need to keep scanning. Not just using the Bluetooth, but actually scanning in when you go there. Yeah. But the Bluetooth is good. The Bluetooth is good. Look, we're not here to preach to you.

You know what you need to do. You know whether you're doing it or not. We're not going to change that. What I thought we could do is come up with some ideas to help it be more exciting to scan in. Ah, incentivise. Incentivise people. I'll give you some quick numbers.

The number of New Zealanders who used the app yesterday to scan in in places, because they get this information straight away, yesterday, 800,000 scans. That's a fair few. It's a lot, eh? The number of scans the government needs us to be doing on the COVID app,

four to eight million a day. Yeah, so. It's like eight million. There's not even eight million people here. No, but everybody goes three to four places a day. That's what it is. They're saying it's not enough to just scan in once. Nobody goes one place every day.

Even if you go just go to work, you should probably stop and get gas or something like that. Yeah, so I see what you're saying. So it's a fairly big jump. That is a massive jump. I mean, we're way off. Yeah, we're way off.

So how do we get people to scan more? Incentivise. Yeah, we've been thinking about some incentives and things that you could do. Because I heard there was some idea that somebody floated that each time you scan the app that Ashley Bloomfield should come through your app and personally thank you and be like, thank you, Kia Kaha, team 5 million, keep it up. Something like that.

Yeah, yeah. And each time you want to hear his voice so you'd feel special. Yeah, that'd help. What if they made it like Lotto? So each time you scan, you're in the drawer for like a cash prize. People will be scanning then. People will be going more places. They'd be actively going into more businesses. We don't want that.

No, we're going to stimulate growth. No, but we don't want to send people to a million places a day. True. Okay. No, it's been that one then. What about if every time, so say you're going to a cafe or you're going anywhere where you're buying something, if you scan in, you get 5% off your purchase. Yeah, that's good. I like that. That would incentivise the hell out of me.

Who pays the 5%? I mean, you know, this is all, we're just workshopping. We're workshopping. Yeah, yeah, right, right, right. Do you remember the app Foursquare that was around in like the 2010s? Yes. It was back when people were still checking in places on Facebook. Yeah.

By going somewhere the most, you became the mayor of that place. That's right. What if they combine the COVID app with the Foursquare app and you could become like the mayor of your local cafe or the mayor of your gym? Do you get a key? Yeah, you get a... Because, I mean, if I'm the mayor, I want a key.

Okay, yeah, you get a key. Like you get a key to Les Mills. Do you want a key to Les Mills? No, that was a bad example for me. Like I love Les Mills. Wouldn't you prefer to have a key to somewhere you actually go? Brian Clint. Something that I think we all kind of know is happening

and we have known for a long time, and it's where, you know, your phone or your laptop are taking information from, you know, maybe stuff you Google or stuff you say and then they're kind of putting different products and stuff in your feed. Some people think your phone's listening to you. I think it is.

It's not. No, it is. It's just tracking everywhere you've been and every site you've visited and everything you've liked. I know you're in there. I know that they're listening. It literally knows exactly where you are 24-7 without listening to you.

But that's okay if you think that. Creepy, eh? But there's a user on TikTok who works in digital marketing and she said this this week on TikTok. So I'm a digital marketer and I don't think anybody realizes just how invasive Google is. And if you've ever thought,

huh, this is a weird ad for me to be seeing, there's actually a website that you can go to to see all of the assumptions Google has made about you based on your previous searches. Go to adssettings.google.com. And here you'll be able to see every assumption Google has ever made about you and why you see the ads that you see.

Buzzy. I so want to know what Google thinks about me. So for people who missed that, it was adssettings.google.com. And you can see... Anyway, I was like, when I saw this, I was like, I'm interested. I want to know what are all the different categories. Yeah. We all want to know about ourselves. Oh my God, go on

Google, what do you think about me? Anyway, I thought, you know, rather than us talk about me because I'm boring, let's talk about you. Which is why I got your laptop and I did a bit of research into what

data Google has collated about you. Okay, this feels like an invasion of privacy, but... So, let's move past that. So, this is 100% real. This is no BS. So, what I've done is I've taken out, there were so many different categories of products or things that they kind of have been tailoring towards you based on obviously what you're Googling and what you're doing online. Anyway, so what I thought I'd do, I would take, I pulled out a few different ones from your Google stuff. This feels like a stitch up.

No, it's not. It's not. Okay, yeah, sure. And then I've written like a little bit of a paragraph and I want you to tell me how accurate this is. Go on then. And I'm telling you this is no BS. Okay.

So you're between 25 and 34. Correct. You're a male. Correct. You're going on a trip away sometime soon at a batch. No, incorrect. You're not? No.

You just told me you were going away one weekend. Not for the night, though. Just going for the day. Well, that's wrong. You're an Android user. Correct. Recently, you've purchased some athletic shoes. I would call them orthopedic, but yeah, I'd like them to be known as athletic.

You drive a luxury car. Incorrect. You drive an Audi. Correct. Boats are of interest to you lately. Incorrect. You drive an Audi. Correct. Boats are of interest to you lately. Incorrect. I get seasick. Really?

Yeah. Okay, well, boats are in your search history for some reason. Right. You have cats. You're a parent, and that child is in childcare. Correct, correct, correct. You've been watching cricket. Correct.

And have been using electric plug devices in your car. Whoa, what the? Is that true? Like, you know the ones where you plug, like, your phone or whatever in to charge them? Yeah. Gardening has also been taking up some of your time lately. Correct.

You work for a company that has more than 250 people at it. Yes. And you've also recently searched vehicle modifications. Oh my god. To be honest. Is that right? Yeah, that's 95% correct. Yeah. Look, I could have

told you all of that stuff because I know you pretty well. Exactly right. But I'm telling you. All of that's in my Instagram story. Well, that's true. Or it's probably true for 99% of 33-year-old white male New Zealanders. Nah, they don't own Audis. Fair point.

But other than that, yeah, probably. I get up, I get... What's the biggest lie that you've told that got out of hand? I overheard this story where a woman was talking about when she was younger. She was about 12, she said. And when she was 12, her mum and her brother and her did the paper run. Right. Where they would all earn some money, which the mum would take all the money apparently.

Really? But she would wake the kids up and they would all have to do the paper run, like really early. Anyway, she decided that she would come up with this lie to get out of doing the paper run. The daughter would? The daughter would, where she said to her mum that she had pain in her hips. Oh, no.

Like she had really bad hip pain. Yeah. Anyway, apparently she got taken to a doctor and the doctor was like, yeah, she's got something called hip dysplasia. Oh, no. Or something like that. And the daughter at that point was like, I just have to go with this. She ended up in hospital.

She ended up in a brace. She must have actually had hip dysplasia. Or was it all going off her fake symptoms? Surely they do an x-ray to confirm they don't just take a 12 year old at their word. Well, she didn't have an operation but she just said, she goes, I went with everything because it got

me out of having to get up early. And she committed to the lie, she said for a year. Well, this is a real case of do a pros and cons list. Yeah. Pro, well, con, you're in hospital. Pro, you don't have to get up early and do the paper run. Pro, people bring you food. Con, you're in hospital and they might perform some bone-breaking operation

on your head. I mean, that is a minor con. So you don't have to do that paper run, though. Yeah, that's one of those ones where she, and you would feel, especially as a 12-year-old, that you were so far down the rabbit hole with the lie that you couldn't come clean. Got to commit.

Yeah. Well, could have committed, yeah. Got to commit to the lie. Because you just think that your mum would be so angry at you if she found out that you were lying. When in actual fact, the mum would probably just be relieved to know that you didn't have hip dysplasia. Yeah.

Oh, thank goodness. I know. By the way, you're doing the paper run by yourself for the next three months. And then you're like, yeah. Your brother needs some time off. Rough. Did you ever tell lies as a kid?

I'm trying to think. Oh, yeah. I got given glasses when I was in year seven. And mum used to say to me, how's it going with your glasses at school? And I refused to wear the glasses because I didn't want to get bullied for wearing the glasses. Fair enough.

So I used to come home every day. She'd go, how's the glasses? Good. Yeah, they're going good. Yeah. You weren't wearing them. Feeling so much better. Yeah.

Helping so much. Every day, how's the glasses? And then I came home, how's the glasses? I said, oh, great day. Oh, honestly, Helping so much. Every day, how's the glasses? And then I came home. How's the glasses? I said, oh, great day. Oh, honestly, they were so helpful. And then she was holding the glasses. She goes, you're not even taking them to school.

Yeah, see, that's a flaw in your lie. That is a flaw. You need to think these things through. But I didn't want to get, yeah. Yeah. So I just wore the glasses. But glasses are cool now. Like people lie about

having to have glasses now. But you know, this 12 year old, you know when you're 11 you think everything's such a bigger deal than it actually is. Yeah, I know. I know. We want to know from you this afternoon on 0800 dials at M. You might not have been a kid. It might be a lie that you're still keeping up today.

Like right now. What's be a lie that you're still keeping up today, like right now. What's the biggest lie that you've had to keep going? Did you use a fake name on your first day of work and then you ended up working there for like three years? The biggest lie that I've ever told that I had to keep going was when I started dating this guy who was a surfer and on the first date he asked me if I was a good surfer and I told him yes because it was in winter time

and I was like I'm not going to have to prove anything and then we ended up dating for a fair while and I had to break up with him. So you didn't have to surf in front of him? Yeah. Should have told him you had hip dysplasia. I'd love to get out there but I've got hip dysplasia.

0800 dial ZM. We can keep you anonymous or you can text your biggest lies that you had to keep going to 9696. What's the biggest lie that you kept going? There is some doozies coming in on this. People who just, I don't know if it's stubbornness or if it's just you're in too deep and you can't get out. So you have to keep going.

There's some crazy ones. Let me just read out a few on the text machine. Someone texted her and they said, I own a failing business, but my boyfriend thinks I'm rich. Oh. That's hard, isn't it? Because you should be able to talk to your boyfriend and confide in him.

Well, you'll find out if he's into you for your money or not pretty quickly. Well, that's true. It's going to be a good baptism of fire for the relationship. Someone else said, my girlfriend still doesn't know that I have a tattoo. After two years, I've kept it hidden with a bandage. What? What does she think you've done to your wherever it is that For two years. You've had a bandage over it. Yeah, buzzy.

And why does she, oh, do you think it's an ex-girlfriend's name, the tattoo? Because what tattoo would be so bad that you couldn't tell your girlfriend about it? It could be an ex-girlfriend's name. I dated someone and they had an ex's name tattooed on them. What part of their body? It was their ribs. Oh, yeah, fairly visible. Made me feel weird.

I didn't like it, eh? We want to know from you guys your biggest lie that you did. Hi, Louise. Hi, Louise. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. What's the biggest lie that you kept up? So it's actually my mum.

For years, her work has always given her flowers, but she's actually severely allergic to them and has to give them away every time. No! But she's never said anything because she feels bad. It's too late to say something because then they would go, we've given you like 50 bunches of flowers, why didn't you say

something earlier? Exactly. It's way too late. She does have to take antihistamines on her birthday or any special occasions or something like that before she goes to work. Hi, Kelsey. Hi, Kelsey. Hi.

Give it to us, Kelsey. What's the lie? So for the last seven years, I have been telling a lie to my employers saying that I have a degree to get where I want in my career. Wait, wait, wait. You're not like a doctor or something, are you? No, no, no, no, no. You're not like a doctor or something, are you? No, no, no, no, no.

You're not a structural engineer, are you? She's an engineer, yeah. No, no. I don't deal with people's lives and safety. Right. It's all good. Can we ask the industry? Yes.

I work in film and TV. No way. Yeah, I'm the same with radio. I didn't have my degree either. Yeah, to be honest, I have no qualifications for this job. Nobody's ever asked or followed up, so. No one does. That's the funny thing.

No, they don't. You say, I've got a Bachelor of Media, and they go, prove it. No one ever says, show me the piece of paper. And I don't have an office, so I don't need to display it on the wall either. I hope they do that for doctors. I hope that when you go and you apply for a job at the hospital, they're like, can we see some paperwork?

Let's hope they check. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, good. Yeah, let's hope so. This text is my absolute favourite. I need to read this out. We're talking about biggest lies that you kept up. Someone texted her and they said,

I told someone that I was dating that I was fluent in French and my mum was born there. When she finally met my parents, I had to convince my mum to continue speaking to me in broken French and I told the missus that she

had lost her accent. Why would you not come clean at that stage? No, you commit. Your mum loves you. If your mum is willing to go in on this ruse with you, your mum loves you. Walking in and going, hey, mum, so I need you to do something for me, and then telling her, and then your mum being like, oh, God.

She says, pardon? God damn. Je t'en jure. Our last caller wants to remain anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, guys. So I lost my job over COVID. I was very redundant.

And they said, once everything's settled back down, we would love to have you back. Okay. And I loved the pay of the job, but I didn't like the job at all. So when they were like, okay, we'll come in and get stuff sorted. So I didn't really want to come back at all. So when they were like, okay, we'll come in and get stuff sorted. So I didn't really want to come back at all. So when I went in, I said, oh, actually, I'm not planning on going back

to work because I'm pregnant. And then it was the first thing that came into my head. And they're like, oh, so what do you do? And I was like, oh, shoot. So if I'm three months, like I had to do the math so quickly in my head. So apparently I've got a baby that

was born in October. I sent through ultrasound pictures and everything because people were trying to be like, oh my God, like what do you do? And I've just like befriended everyone now. Are you serious? What did you get for the baby shower presents?

They didn't send anything because I was just like, oh, no, everything's going good and stuff, but people were trying to, like, message me. No, wait, so what's your fake baby's name? Carter. Carter. Carter? After I just said I was having a boy.

Wow. Oh, my God. All right, well. I feel like you win the phone topic. Yeah, yeah. Because your lie is the epitome of a lie that went too far. Are you technically on fake maternity leave right now? No, I'm working.

I just don't talk to people and I avoid the area. It's like the first time I'm like, oh, my God, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Anonymous. Bree and Clint. Time for Birthday Banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday.

Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, here we go. Birthday Banger to get you home. Three people. What was number one on their 16th birthdays? We're about to figure it out. Hi, Melanie. G'day, Mel.

Jeez. Jeez. Give away all my secrets. Yeah, come on. You said your birthday. You made it worse. Do you like your birthday banger, Melanie? I can cope with that, yeah.

I think that's a banger, Mel. I'd be happy with that. Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? Have you learnt nothing? Hi, Sarah. G'day, Sarah. Hi, how are you guys? Good, mate.

How are you? Usually revealing your age is a prerequisite of birthday banger, but you don't have to do that anymore. Yeah, well, it's the 18th of April, 89. Yeah, be proud. You were 16 in 2005, Sarah, on the 18th of April. And in the mid-2000s, this had a number one hit. That is one of my all-time favourite songs.

It's a pretty good one. Maybe not as good as the last one, but it's still up there. It stands out as a song from the 2000s. It was the one that... I want to say yes. Yeah, right. Okay. He was in that TV show.

Which one? He acted in a fairly popular TV show. I can't remember what it was called now. Anyone? A little help on the text machine? Jesse McCartney's TV show. Yeah, 9696. Producer Bean will find it.

Let's go to Shelley finally. Hi, Shelley. G'day, Shel. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, mate. How are you? Good.

Good, thank you. That's good. Let's see what you get. What's your birthday? 14th of March, 1995. Okay, you were 16 in 2011 on the 14th of March. And in 2011, this reached the top of the charts. Oh, what a throwback.

What is this on the ad for? This is Avalanche City, and I think it was on... Was it on a Coke ad? It's still on an ad as we speak. I'm pretty sure it might be Coke, yeah. This song was everywhere when it came out. Dave Baxter, Avalanche City. Do you like your birthday banger, Shelley?

Yeah, it's pretty good. Good Kiwi close-up. Yeah, right. Oh, it's on a New World ad. That's what it's on. Okay. It's on the New World ad currently. Jesse was in Hannah Montana.

No, he did another show where he was like, got his kid off and stuff. Producer Ben's got it. What's the TV show? Summerland? Yes, that's the one. And he was like the heartthrob in this show and he'd always have his shirt off. Oh, good for Gizzy. Yeah. No, he killed it. It was great. Okay, we need a winner. Is it going to be Love, Love, Love, Avalanche City,

Gizzy McCartney's Beautiful Soul or Waterfalls TLC? Probably Gizzy McCartney, right? That's my pick. Yeah. I love that song. Like we said, it stands out. It's a great sing-along too.

Zedian, Bree and Clint, coming straight out of what year was it? 2005 2005, our birthday bangers from Jesse McCartney It's called Beautiful Soul Before I said, he was a one hit wonder right?

I think he had one other not bad song We were overlooking his song he did with T-Pain called Body Language. Yeah. Yeah. What is this? Do you reckon Justin Bieber modelled himself on Jesse McCartney? Probably, largely, yeah. He looks so similar.

Yeah. I know this song! How much did T-Pain get paid to be on this? That is Justin Bieber right there. Yeah, it looks like... That is young Justin Bieber. Yeah, that looks like real... It looks exactly like the Justin Bieber movie, this music video.

He's got the shiny shoes like Justin. Just replace T-Pain with Ludacris. Yep. And we're on. Baby, baby. Okay. Here we go. Jesse McCartney, how old?

Oh, age game Jesse McCartney. How old is he? If that was 2005, I'm going to say he's 32. Jesse McCartney's 33. Oh, not bad. 32 Jesse McCartney's 33 Oh not bad And still looks bloody good can I say Yeah he's come out the other side in one piece Yeah looks quite good

You know Clint on our show we support love And we support We love love People finding love And we've tried to help a few people in the past where they've met someone out in the public and then they lost touch. And we found those people for those people.

We have had success with that before. You're right. We have. We've used the radio show to find people for other people. And I thought we could do that again this afternoon with a woman named Susan who is on the hunt for a man she met a few Saturdays ago at Danny Doolin's. His name's Steve, and we have Susan who's joining us on the phone right now.

Hello, Susan. Hello. Give us the details. What was this chance encounter? What happened? And how come you don't have this man's phone number in your phone right now? Exactly. That's the question I'm asking.

So I have a friend called Deb who's going through a marriage breakup. And I thought she needed to, like, put her hands in the air like she just don't care, get down to Danny Doolins and have some fun. Oh, you're a good friend, Sue. For those who don't live in Auckland, Danny Doolins is an Irish bar in the Viaduct.

It's like the bog in Christchurch. Just a bit of fun. Yeah, it's a good place, live music. Right, Susan? It's really good fun. So I was talking to this guy that Deb had met, and he was delightfully lovely. He was the nicest man I've probably ever met.

And I thought, oh, you're just so lovely. But then Deb would sort of, you know, do a little dance back into the crowd, and I'd lose her, and I didn't know where she was. She was cramping your style, Susan. Yeah, I think so. She was getting in your way. And he was sort of thinking, well look, I won't talk to you anymore thinking that I wasn't interested but I was very interested. I was just worried about my

friend. We need the details. So this is how it works Susan. We're going to try and track this guy down for you. So we need as many details about him as you can give us. Okay. So I didn't ask him if he was married or not. I just assumed he wasn't. But if he was, he did absolutely nothing wrong. He was just being nice. He was just nice. He was just friendly. He was just talking.

So if that's the case, he did nothing wrong. No harm, no foul. Got it. And because he was that way, that's the appeal. Right. Okay. Lovely. So his name's Steve. We've got Steve. Do you know where he's from? He said he was from Northc that's the appeal. Right, okay. Lovely, lovely. So his name's Steve. So what do we know about Steve? Do you know where he's from? He said he was from Northcote. Okay.

He might be an analyst, but Deb was a little bit rough on all her questions and answers. So what date was this on, Susan? This was on the 16th of January on Saturday night. And they had been there for quite a while, like 7pm, him and two friends. Okay. So his name's Steve. Steve. He comes from Northcote or he's living in Northcote.

And he was a Denny Dolan's. He came originally from Wainuiomata. Right, oh good. Oh, that's good. That's a good detail. Steve will know who he is. If this is Steve and he was talking to you with Drunk Deb, he will know who he is.

But we're also looking for other people that might know Steve who can get in touch with Steve. He's 50-ish, plus minus. Okay, and what does he look like, Sue? Well, you know, as time goes on, that gets a little bit more blurry, but he was lovely. Who's that laughing in the background?

Is that Deb? That's not Deb, is it? Put Deb on the phone. Put Deb on the phone. Here she is. Deb. Deb, have you had a few chardonnays today? Have you?

No, no, no chardonnays. I'm a rose girl. Me too, Deb. Deb, you know had a few chardonnays today? Have you? Oh, no, no chardies there. I'm a rose girl. Me too, Deb. Deb, you know you owe Susan a night back at the Danny Dolan's, don't you? She keeps reminding me repeatedly. You need to take her down there to try and find Steve. What if he's a regular? Not only that, Deb.

You owe her a Danny Dolan if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, we do. Okay, if anyone has any details on Steve from Northcote, who was at Danny Dolan's on the 16th of January, and they were talking to Susan and Drunk Deb. And Drunk Deb, he's in his 50s.

Man, I hope that works out. I really hope we find this guy. And it's got a happy ending. Same. Bree and Clint. So we've decided that we're doing this. Next week, we're hitching a spa pool to the back of the DeLorean and we're driving the hot tub time machine the length of the South Island.

We're committed, right? Lock it in. Yeah, we're doing it. There's no turning back now. Is that a line? I don't know. It sounded like something Doc would say. There's something we need to sort out.

If you and me are in the car, there's very clearly a Marty and a Doc in this situation. And people are going to expect when they drive past. There's going to be a Marty and a Doc. Exactly. And they're going to be in costume and that's going to happen the whole way down. Yeah.

You and I have actively avoided the conversation about who is Marty and who is Doc in The DeLorean, haven't we? Yes, yeah. But I think deep down you know who you want to be and I know who I want to be. Okay. There's a chance that this is not even a discussion.

There's a chance that you want one and I want the other. You reckon that's... I don't know. Possibly. I really don't know. Possibly. The that's I don't know Possibly I really don't know Possibly The only bit I don't have is the disputes resolution If we both want the same

If we both want to be the same person We might have to put it out there For other people to decide Yeah But let's just do it Let's just Maybe we've just figured it out Maybe we just know each other

And I know what you want And you know what I want And I want to help you And you want to help me And we can make this thing happen. I hope so. That'd be nice, wouldn't it? It'd be so easy.

Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be so easy? It'd be so easy. Because I know who I want to be. I know who I want to be. And I know who I want to be. I know who I want to be. And I know who I hope

I know you want to be. Okay. Okay, so what we're going to do we're going to drum roll. One, two, three and then we're going to say who we want to be in the DeLorean.

I'm nervous. So who you want to be at the end of the drumroll. You ready? For the Hot Tub Time Machine Tour starting next week. Who do you want to be? I want to be Marty.

Yes! Yes! Oh perfect. Well that's a great deal. Done deal. Well done. Good stuff. That was perfect. That's a great deal Done deal Well done Good stuff That was perfect That's so buzzy It's all falling into place Now we just need to figure out

Out of Ben and Anastasia Who's going to be Einstein the dog That's Ben There's a question that's been posed On our Bree and Clint Instagram story today Really simple Straight forward question Hand holding in public Yes or no Question that's been posed on our Bree and Clint Instagram story today. Really simple, straightforward question. Handholding in public, yes or no?

Oh, we're getting scandalous on the show today. Are we handholding? No, I'm being sarcastic. Oh, I see. Handholding's back in fashion because we've got a new president. Yeah, and he likes to hold hands. He likes to hold, Jill and Joe, which is very cute. When old people hold hands, it's so cute.

I think it's adorable. My parents, always holding hands. Do they? Yeah. Well, Jill and Joe are about is very cute. When old people hold hands, it's so cute. I think it's adorable. My parents, always holding hands. Do they? Yeah. Well, Jill and Joe are about as old as it gets, and they're holding hands. He does? This is off the back of- God, Joe Biden is copying it in this time slot each day, isn't he?

Yeah, but it's not a criticism. It's not a criticism. He just said they're as old as it gets. Well, he's the oldest president that there's ever been. Is he? I believe so. He was the youngest. No.

I'm pretty sure he was the youngest senator and now he's the oldest president. I didn't know that. To begin a term. At the beginning of his term. Okay, right. Because you've got to remember, if this guy goes for two terms, he's going to be eight years older than he currently is. Anyway, anyway, this is beside the point.

We're coming off the back of a president who actually quite liked to hold hands with his wife. She just wasn't keen. She would swat him away. Melania was like, ooh, get your tiny little orange hands away from me. The videos where he goes to grab her hand and she just pulls it away from him are so awkward. So it's quite a refreshing change.

We've been running a poll just basically do you hold hands with your partner? Before we reveal the results of the poll You and your partner Are you hand holders? In public? Yes Not all the time

Not all the time? But yeah But you could walk down the street And it wouldn't be a thing If you were to reach out And hold your partner's hand No That'd be okay

Yeah Okay Producer Ben Are you a hand holder? I don't mind it But we don't do it a lot No But it's not a frowned upon thing?

It's not a frowned upon thing I feel like I'm the same as Ben Yeah We don't do it all the time But every now and then not a frowned upon thing? It's not a frowned upon thing, no. I feel like I'm the same as Ben. Yeah, like I... We don't do it all the time, but every now and then... Anastasia, any of the nice boys that you met at RMV, did they hold your hand? No. No.

What about you and Lucy? My wife is so... She hates it, doesn't she? ...anti-handholding. I thought so. You've told me this before. And I... Look, I don't need...

I'm not fussed either way. Justin Puget? But I just try and hold her hand to piss her off. Don't do that. I know she hates it. So I'll try and reach for her hand and I'll say, babe, we should hold hands here. And she'll be like, get, physically get away from me. What about in, like, behind closed doors, does she hate it?

Or is it Justin Puddle? Put it this way, she won't reach for it. Right. It's not something she's looking out for. She'll tolerate it for about 10 minutes and then she'll go, okay, I need my hand back. Right, yeah. Fair enough too. Fair enough. You don't know what's on your hands. Well, I think that's part of

what she's coming from. We don't know where you've been. I think she maybe finds me a little bit yuck from time to time. She's like, your hands are sticky. What do the people say? So we've got we've got, sorry Anastasia, you don't count. She does count in a relationship. Would you like to hold hands with your partner in public? Nah, probably not.

Okay, so she's a no. What about, we've rephrased that question. Anastasia, would you like someone to hold hands with? Full stop. I enjoy having no one to hold hands with. She's an independent woman. Alright, then we're 50-50. Two hand holders, two no hand holders.

Results of our poll. 78% of people are hand holders. Really? Yeah. What about a good old big tonguey? Oh, come on, mate. Yummy, love. That's tomorrow's poll.

Yummy. Weirdly, my wife not into that either. Really? Zeddem's Free and Clint, the podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give Zeddem's Fletchborn and Megan a listen too? to that either really
