Hi everyone, welcome to the Brian and Clint podcast I've got a question for everyone on the podcast today I was taking my dog Whitney for a walk this morning So I can answer the question It is weird if you wear the leash Good, we can move on then I know you want her to experience everything But her walking you, weird

I feel like she'd be good at it though No, that's not my question We can move on. I know you want her to experience everything, but her walking you, weird. Yeah. I feel like she'd be good at it, though. No, that's not my question. I was walking her, and usually I take her to the dog park, but I didn't have time this morning, so I was taking her for a couple of laps around the block. Yeah. And as we were walking down one street, she decides to park up and do a big poo, because that's what dogs do.

So I had my bags, my environmentally friendly plastic bags, and I picked up her poo. And then as I was walking – Do you reckon those work, by the way? The biodegradable ones? Yeah. Well, it says all over the packaging that they do. I hope they do.

I hope they do too because I never see it. Well, true. You can't put a new compost bin because you can't put dog shit in your compost bin. Can you? No. This is compost bin Because you can't put dog shit In your compost bin Can you? No This is awkward Oh don't put dog shit

In the compost bin No I don't have a compost bin I'm just joking Don't put any poo In the compost bin Anyway carry on Anyway so I want to know From you guys

Because I hate carrying The bag of poo Especially because She always does it It's degrading eh It's so degrading And it stinks And it always happens At the front of the walk

And then I have to carry it for the whole rest of the way I think I know what the question is Anyway I saw that someone had their bin out And I thought Is it wrong for me to just pop this in their bin? So while you're away I asked a similar question to Caitlin

Except mine was to do with human poos. Because on rubbish day, and this is similar, because on rubbish day my bin was full, but we had a lot of dirty nappies, and I needed to offload some of those nappies into the neighbours. How many though? I feel like I'm talking about one little bag of biodegradable bag dog poo. And I'm talking about 20 nappies.

Yeah, different. Not all full of poo, though. Only maybe four of them would have been pooish. Nappies smell so stale after a while, don't they? And the wee actually smells worse than the poo. Yeah, I agree. And I put the poo down the toilet. It's just the poo remnants that are in the nappy.

I'll tell you, I think your one, where you're out walking, I think your one Where you're out walking I think If I saw you do it I'd be a bit miffed Would you? I think so I think so Because I don't want my wheelie bin to stink

And if it's out on the street It means the bins have just been collected So I have to live with that poo for a week So the bin was full And I sat it Neatly in the top Where it wasn't touching anything So it wasn't ever going to touch anything in the bin.

Well, then on this occasion, I think it's fine. Because I agree with that. If it's empty, I think it's wrong. But I think you've got to do what you've got to do because no one wants to look like a human poo receptacle. You've got to do what you've got to do with the poo. Yeah, to get through. Yeah, to get through.

So, yeah. I think it's fine. I think if I saw it, if I went out there To collect my wheelie bin That had just been emptied That's not okay And I saw a poo in there No but this is how I'd react I'd open it

And I'd be like Oh good the bins are gone I'll go get the bins And I'll start to bring it in Oh I just better check it's empty Oh someone's put a poo in here That would be the extent of it It wouldn't be

Who put this poo in here I must get to the bottom of this Yeah CCTV footage. Get it for me. It'll just be like, oh, that's annoying. What do you producers think? Yes or no?

Poo shall not pass. You say no poos. No. If it's out for collection, go for it. And it's full. If it's empty, you're a terrible person. I agree. What about you, Ben? Full or empty. I think if there's a bin on the're a terrible person Yeah I agree I agree What about you Ben?

Oh full or empty I think if there's a bin On the side of the road Just chucking it It's going to be easier for you They're not going to worry about it If it's fully bagged If it's fully bagged

There's actually no issue And I tied it to the knot Yeah yeah yeah If you held Whitney Over the bin And she did a raw shit Into the wheelie bin That's different

It is bagged It's a council property anyways Like you don't actually Ever own it You're just using it Like you're It is bagged. It's a property anyways. You don't actually ever own it. You're just using it. You're paying your rights. Who knows. It's yours though. It has to live on your property. What are your guys

thoughts? And I always have this thought now because I'm a dog owner. I'm very aware of my dog's own poo and making sure I pick it up. But you know the difference? Is that what you mean? No, I'm just saying we're very aware of like having bags with me to pick up the poo.

What are your guys' thoughts on peoples because I pass them all the time people who don't pick up their dog poo. Terrorists. You've got to pick it up. Terrorists because they are planting landmines. Why do people not pick it up? Because they're lazy. It's the same reason why people don't

scan in on the COVID app. It's so wrong, though. They're kicking the can down the road. Why should your thing that you've decided to get then affect someone else if they step in it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big time. I'm so cautious about that stuff. I've got a modern solution for the problem.

Actually, it's not modern at all. It's just an alternative solution. What if you carried a small spade? Oh, yeah. And whenever the dog did a poo, you dig a little hole. And you put it in. And you bury it. That makes it more environmentally friendly.

Yeah, and then it regenerates in the lawn. No one has to carry poo. No bags get used. And the only issue is that you have to carry a poo-covered spade. You just clean it up. Here's another question. Why do cats dig a hole and then do a poo in it and then cover it up? Because it's a pure animal.

And why don't dogs do that? Because cats are obsessed with cleanliness. That's why they're constantly cleaning themselves. Yeah, control freaks, aren't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has to be clean. They can't have their litter box near their food. They're very smell sensitive.

Is that weird? I'd always watch my childhood cat dig and do a poo and I'd always be fascinated by it. And they back up on it and then they arch their little cat back and then they strain. My cat would do circle, circle,

line it up, line it up. Beep, beep. And then nail it every time. And the shame when you're watching them bury it too, they're like, get this away from me. I never want to see this again. My cat would be like this. Who did this? Don't me I never want to see this again My cat would be like this I never

Who did this? Don't tell anybody She'd be like My cat would be like this That's what they look like But then they'll piss anywhere They'll be like I own this pot plant

Piss That's a boy cat Do girls cat do that? No Only boys I don't have any boys Boys do the sprinkler And their tail goes like this

It's true Alternatively You could carry a small backpack And put the poos in there Oh yeah What about tying the poo To the dog's collar? Have you seen the TikToks of that?

I saw it yesterday It's so funny You made this mess You deal with it Yeah Alright Gotta go everybody Let us know TikToks of that I saw it yesterday It's so funny You made this mess You deal with it Yeah Alright Gotta go everybody Let us know

Let us know on our Facebook page What are your thoughts? Ben can you post the question So we don't get a million posts Yeah Post the question Is it legit to put your dog poo In someone else's bin

When you're doing a neighbourhood walk When you're doing a neighbourhood walk Alright we're gonna go Not your own poo No The dog poo. Bye everybody. Good everybody, everybody.

What's going on? Bree and Clint. You know what I've decided I'm really over already? Meat. No. That's 31 years. Carbohydrates. No, I'm really over this no daylight savings thing.

Oh, yeah. I'm so over it already. I saw a thing on the news when Daylight Savings was coming in and they do this story every year where they go and speak to people and they say, do you want Daylight Savings to be cancelled or not? They never talk to farmers. And I feel like the reason that we have Daylight Savings, wasn't it invented for farmers?

Isn't that why we have it? I hope my dad's not listening right now because he's a farmer. Does he like Daylight Savings? He hates Daylight Savings. Because which one's which? Hates it. I'm talking about the phenomenon of shifting the clocks. I like shifting the clocks because then you get an hour extra.

What are we in right now? Are we in Daylight Savings? No. We're out of Daylight Savings. So we're out of Daylight Savings, which means when we drive home at 7 o'clock, it's dark. Are there any farmers listening? And if there is, can you text us? Is what we've got right now, the bit we're in now.

It's better for them. But is it? Yes. Do you like it? I'm from a farming family. I know you are. I know you are. Because that means when they get up super early, whether it be to milk the cows or do

whatever they need to do. It's lighter. It's light. Yeah. Some people like working It's light. Yeah. Yeah. Some people like working under the cover of darkness. Not when you wake it up at 5.30 in the morning. But I just.

We're doing daylight saving for you guys. Why can't we. Do you still want it? That's all I'm asking. Why can't we do. Is it possible to do it all year round? Is that a thing? Yeah. Yeah.

Is it? Doesn't Queensland do that? No, Queensland doesn't do it at all. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. No daylight savings at all. So what I'm talking about is don't change the clocks.

Why? Just keep what we have in summer. No. What? Because then we get extra light in summer. This is what, oh my God, you actually have.

Which page are we on? I don't know what's happening. You have no idea what daylight savings is. I don't want it to be dark at four o'clock. That's what I want. That's daylight savings. Yeah, so are we on the same page? We don't know what's happening. Oh, my God. You have no idea what daylight savings is. I don't want it to be dark at 4 o'clock. That's what I want. That's daylight savings.

Yeah, so are we on the same page? We don't want that, right? No, we want it. Oh, God. Daylight savings gives you extra light. So you want it to be dark at 4 o'clock? You're doing this on purpose. No, I'm not.

I'm asking you, do you want it to be dark at 4 o'clock? That's what I... That's why I want daylight savings. Yeah, cool. I don't want it to be dark at 4 o'clock? That's what I... That's why I want daylight savings. Yeah, cool. I don't want it to be dark at 4 o'clock either. I still don't feel like you have any idea of what's going on.

Debbie's kids Show me the money I love learning things from the internet That make me look at certain things in my life And be like I need to re-evaluate some things Which this is quite interesting. It's come an interesting time for me because I've just been home back to Stanthorpe, Queensland, where I'm from, spent some time with my family after a long time.

And all of our siblings were there. And in my family, I've got a sister. Then there's me and a younger brother. Got it. So I'm the middle child. Mm-hmm. And there's this guy called Tristan Collazo who he's a mental health counsellor. And he's been putting these videos online, all different types of things to help people, you know, understand all these different facets of the, you know, the human psyche. Right.

But this one stuck out to me because he was talking about the concept of psychological birth order. Can you put that in English for me? So what it means depending on what order you're born in. Right. So if you're the first child, the second child, the third child, the fourth child. And how it affects you psychologically. Exactly.

Right. Okay. There's some clips here of him talking about it. Let's listen to the first one if we've got it this concept states that it is not merely the order in which you were born but the situation in which you were born and the way in which you interpret it there is a lot that is similar for children born in the same home however the psychological situation of each child is unique and differs from the others. No two children are born into the same family. Individuals can identify with more than one birth order category,

as all firstborn children have been only children, along with middle children having once been the youngest child. Whoa, buzzy. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, it's so weird to think about that. All oldest children at one point were an only child. Only child.

And all middle children were once last born. Whoa, that's crazy to think about. There's a second clip of him talking about it in a bit more depth. This concept states that a person's birth order plays a major role in how an individual's personality is shaped. The second child starts off life knowing they have to share the attention of their parents. Their older sibling serves as a role model but also sparks a competitive fire within them. They strive to

catch up and surpass their older sibling. In turn, they may be more likely to be better adjusted in life. They are more competitive, peacemakers, people pleasers, rebellious, and always gaining new abilities. Do you think that's fair? You're a second born. Do you think that's fair? You're a second born. Do you think that's fair?

So was that all about the second born? I think it's quite interesting to think about how the second born child is always fighting for attention. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm an attention seeker. I'm a first born. Yeah. I'd love to know what it means about me.

You are so a first born, can I say? What does that mean? Because you feel like, you just remind me, like I think about my sister where she always feels like she has control over everyone and I feel like firstborns you feel like you control a lot more. Right. So even like just in certain situations you're

such a firstborn. Look, I'm going to stop you there. I need to take control of this segment. I feel like, I don't know, I feel like there's something in this. I'd love to learn more about it because I reckon it's so true. And if you're a child from a big family, that would affect you psychologically.

If you're a twin, that would affect you psychologically. It's so interesting. You know, look, we don't say that we know anything about psychology or anything like that. No. But I feel like there's a game that we could play. Yeah.

Based on this kind of, you know, theory. Yes. Where people could call up and we're going to guess what number sibling they were. Right. Okay. Or, sorry, what number sibling they were born into the family. Can only children play this game? I feel like they can. They can play. Yeah. Of course.

Okay. They can play. So we'll call you, we'll probe you with a couple of questions. Yes, and then we have to make our decision based on those couple of questions. Yeah. 0800 dial ZM will guess what order you were born into your family. Just be aware, we will be psychologically profiling you.

Okay? You have to lie on our couch. The phones are going ballistic. And at the end, we'll give you a bill for $180. Sounds good to me. Bree and Clint. We're talking about the concept of psychological birth order. This guy called Tristan Collazo, who's a mental health counsellor,

talks about how, or suggests rather, that psychological birth order is not merely the order you were born into that impacts your relationships, but it's also the situation you were born into and the way you interpret it. Yeah, he's saying that the order in which you were born dictates how you think and behave as a person. Yeah. Middle children behave in a certain way. Oldest children behave in a certain way.

Youngest children behave in a certain way. I think he's right. I think he's onto something. We have read none of the research. And this afternoon, we are going to attempt to guess your birth order, you know, just with a couple of questions. It can't be how hard it could be. Simple as that.

Let's get our first person on for profiling. Oh, interesting. Their name is Bree. Hi, Bree. Hello, Bree. Hi. How do you spell that? B-R-I.

Oh, okay. Interesting. Love it, Bree. Got to stick together, us Bree's. Okay, Bree, I've got a question for you. We're both going to just probe you with one question to get to know you a little bit, and then we're going to guess your birth order.

Can I ask, let's start simple. What's your opinion on hand me down clothing? I feel like you've told us everything just there. You like it? Yeah. Okay. She's trying to throw us off. I know what she is. You've got to answer honestly, by the way, Brie. Yeah, no, yep. Cool.

Brie, answer this honestly. I know parents aren't meant to have favourites, but would you say you're their favourite child? Oh, nah, actually, no. Would you say you're not their favourite child? No. Right, so she's not the youngest. I think she's the oldest.

You reckon? Only the oldest thinks that hand-me-downs are awesome. I reckon she's middle. You think she's middle? Yeah. I think she's the oldest. You reckon? Only the oldest thinks that hand me down to awesome. I reckon she's middle. You think she's middle? Yeah. Brie, what are you? I'm the youngest. Oh, we're both wrong.

And you're not your parents' favourite. No, I am the only girl, though. And you're the only girl. You're the favourite. You just don't want to admit it. You're being modest. No. No favourite?

No, wants to admit that they're the favourite. Yeah, that's so true. That's the thing being modest. No. No favourite? No, it wants to admit that they're the favourite. Yeah, that's so true. That's the thing about a favourite. Jennifer's here. Hi, Jennifer. Hi, Jen. Hello, Jennifer. Okay, we're going to probe you a little bit with our psychological questions.

This one is an ethical dilemma for you, okay, and I need you to answer honestly. If there was one Tim Tam left and you and one of your siblings both wanted the Tim Tam, would you halve the Tim Tam or would you rock, paper, scissors each other for the whole Tim Tam? Rock, paper, scissors. Right, you'd compete for the entire biscuit. Cool, okay, I think I know what you are. Jen, would you say out of all your siblings,

are you the one the most that likes the fancier things in life? No, definitely not. Oh, okay. I think you're a middle child. Okay. Middle child. I think she's the oldest. You think she's the oldest?

Yeah. Jennifer, what are you? I'm the eldest. Yeah, there you go, Bree. What gave it away that she was the oldest? I don't know. I just had a feeling. Because what did she say to your question?

She said she would rock, paper, scissors for the whole thing. Yeah, because the eldest children are pretty like... Entitled? Yes. I feel like they're like, I deserve this. I'm going to get it. Yeah, right. Helen, hi.

Hi, Helen. Hi. Hi. Welcome to your probing. Okay, here we go. First question as we attempt to figure out what birth order you have. If your parents bought your sibling a car, but you already had a car that you paid for yourself,

do you think that your parents should give you something to the same value as the car they gave your sibling? This is a loaded question. Yes, absolutely. Wow. Yeah, it needs to be fair. Right. Yeah.

Okay. I know what she is. I have a question, Helen. Would you say you're the most successful sibling out of you and your siblings? Ooh. Be honest. Be honest. Yeah.

Yeah. Ooh. She's the oldest. Be honest. Yes. Yeah. Whoa. She's the oldest. She's the oldest. Yeah, she's the oldest. Helen, are you the oldest? No. No.

She's the middle. I'm the third of four. Oh, she's the middle. I knew that. And why did I sway? Yeah, right. Okay. Let's go to Laurence finally.

She was a fellow middle childer. Lawrence, hi. Hi, Lawrence. Hey. I've run out of good questions. Ask your question to Lawrence and I'll think of something. Okay. Lawrence, would you say out of all your siblings, you're the nicest one?

Oh, absolutely. Mmm. Oh, absolutely. Lawrence, say your family's having fish and chips for dinner and one of your siblings wants, in your family you're not allowed to get a burger with your fish and chips. It's like hot dog, fritter or piece of fish. And one of your siblings thinks they should get a burger. Do you think that they should be allowed the burger? Absolutely not.

Absolutely not. Right. What do you think? I've got none of these correct so far, but my gut feeling says Lawrence is an eldest child. I'm going to say only child. Oh! Okay, Lawrence, what are you? I'm actually four of five.

Four of five. He's a middle. Middle. Damn. How can I not pick up on my fellow middle child? I didn't get any of my fellow eldest children. That's weird because I thought eldest children were the smartest. Who knew? We're not psychics.

Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here, and I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but the Prime Minister of New Zealand is currently embroiled in a Twitter beef with Selena Gomez. Dean, tell us what's going on. What's the hell?

I love it. I know you couldn't pay me a million bucks to have guessed today's headline, but your Prime Minister, she's one of the most loved Prime Ministers in the world, by the way, just to add to it, is firing back at Selena Gomez on Twitter. Now let me just explain what's

going on. It's not some type of celebrity beast. They're not fighting over Justin Bieber or anything like that. Here's what happened. Selena Gomez tweeted the New Zealand Prime Minister as well as the French Prime Minister and the Spanish Prime Minister and a few others asking, as she said, you've helped New Zealand fight COVID-19 domestically.

Now we need your help globally to ensure everyone has access to the vaccine. Now Jacinta has replied saying New Zealand is committed to equitable access to safe and effective vaccines globally and then went on and shared about the millions of dollars that New Zealand has used to, you know to donate vaccines to different parts of the world. In fact, to over 92 low-income economies. This is certainly doing their part.

And so it's kind of on. And it's kind of very classy of the New Zealand Prime Minister to just explain that how they are helping all these different countries around the world. So Selena was a little bit out of line. And, of course, as you can imagine, people on Twitter are, you know, replying to Selena saying, um, do some fact-checking. I just feel Jacinda put Selena Gomez on blast because Selena hadn't done her research. She didn't do her research.

And I just think it's incredible that the Prime Minister of any country, let alone our country, would take the time to reply to Selena Gomez, but that's the world that we live in, right? We live in this weird Twitter sphere. This is a real story in 2021. If you told me this in 2015, I'd go, this sounds like a make-believe story. Yeah, that's an episode of Black Mirror.

Right. Weird. Well, glad to hear we're winning the Twitter beef. That's the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Steve McCarthy. If you listen to this show often, you would know that we are maths whizzes. Oh, yeah, that's what we are, whizzes. We are mathematicians. We're mathletes up in here.

Yep, I studied elite maths at school. Yep. And by that I mean I studied the very basic ones. Cabbage maths. Yeah. What do they call it in? Cabbage maths. Why do they call it cabbage maths?

I don't know. That's what they called the lowest one. We call it maths A. Oh, yeah, that's nicer than cabbage maths. And then you can do maths B if you're smarter and then if you're really smart you do maths B and C. Yeah, right. But nope, only maths A for me.

And I got a c in maths a um i found this thing on the internet which i thought we could give a go because we aren't the best at maths you'd be better than me but it says here the headline it's the simple maths equation that's dividing the internet let's do it yeah, Will Marsden. It's pretty easy. The equation that people are now arguing over what is the answer looks quite simple. It's 8 divided by 2 in brackets 2 plus 2 equals. 8 divided by 2 brackets 2 plus 2 equals. Eight divided by two, brackets, two plus two equals.

Yes. I can't even remember how to do that. But what is the two plus two? Four. No, I know that's four, but how does it relate to the... No, with an equation like this, which part do you do first again? I would have done the front and then do the bits in the bracket together. But the issue for me is there's not a symbol between the two

and the brackets 2 plus 2. I see what you're saying. So I've got my 8 divided by 2, which is 4, and I've got my 2 plus 2, which is 4. But do I add those together or is the answer 44? No. Or is the answer 4? Or is the answer 8? Or is the answer eight?

Just if you are playing along with this, I'm going to give this to you really clearly. It's eight divided by two, brackets, two plus two. Yes. Equals. What does it equal? Producer Ben knows the answer, by the way. So if you want to figure this out, we will get an answer to it.

Okay, let's have a go here doing this. I just don't know what to do with the 2 plus 2. I reckon, from memory, I'm pretty sure it's a times. You times, like in between. So it's 8 divided by 2 times. Yeah. Or is it to the power of? No, it's in the brackets, 2 plus 2.

That's what I'm going to go with. Okay. You can go with whatever you think. So you're going to go, so I'm looking at yours. You're going to go 4 times 4. So you've got 16. I'm going to go with. Okay. You can go with whatever you think. So you're going to go, so I'm looking at yours. You're going to go four times four. So you've got 16. I'm going four times four equals 16. I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

To cover our bases, I'll do something different. Lock it in. So that hopefully we can be right as a team. Please be right. I'll be embarrassed. I'm going to say that it's... I'm pretty sure... I'm going to say you add it.

Yeah, well, who... No. Yeah, you could Yeah so what would it be Or is it 2 plus 2 No I'm going to add them I'm going to say 8

I'm going to lock in 8 Okay cool So we're locking in 16 or 8 Producer Ben What is the correct answer to 8 divided by 2 Brackets 2 plus 2

Equals Drum roll, please. Drum. I hope one of us, please, please. The answer is one. What the? Are you sure? Yeah, I'm very sure, yeah.

Why is it one? It is one. So you've got eight divided by two, and then in the brackets is two plus two, correct? Yeah. Always deal with the brackets first. So 2 plus 2 is 4. Yeah.

So now you've got 8 divided by 2 with a little 4 in the brackets. Still dealing with the brackets. Is it a little 4? No one told me it was a little 4. A little 4. Or a 4. And then with the brackets, you've just got a 4 in there. So you go 2, which is in front of it, times 4.

Yeah. 8. 8 divided by 8. 1. Correct. Ah. Eight. Eight divided by eight. One. Correct. Right. You lost me. Bree and Clint.

There is a New Zealander who has come forward and spoken about a bizarre allergy that she has. Very brave to do this, by the way, because once you put yourself out there in the public arena, everyone can have their say. Oh, I thought about it. I think I know what it is. Right.

I'll give you a couple of details before you guess. Her name is Vienna. She's 26 years old. And this thing that she's allergic to, you need it. You literally need it. And you need it every day. Cheese. No, she's not allergic to cheese.

But that is an allergy that people have. It's not cheese. No, she's not allergic to cheese. But that is an allergy that people have. It's not cheese. The thing she's allergic to is more essential than cheese. Okay. I know that's hard to think about but it's something more essential than cheese. Beer. No, you don't need that every day. Speak for yourself. Just enjoy it every day.

What else? One more guess and then I'm going to tell you what it is. Is it latex? What else? One more guess and then I'm going to tell you what it is. Ooh. Mm. Ooh. Mm. Is it latex? No. Not latex. That's a real allergy. Vienna, 26-year-old from New Zealand,

has come forward to admit that she is allergic to... water. Oh. Yeah. I've heard about this, you know. I have. Have you? Yeah, I have.

I've read things on it and seen videos about people who are allergic to water and how hard it is. Not many people in the world, there are less than 100 confirmed cases of aquagenic ureth... ureth... water allergy in the world. Here's Vienna. Hi, I'm Vienna and I'm allergic to water.

When I see people at the beach when they've walked out of the water, they just dry on the sand and I go, wow, like, isn't that incredible? You can do that. My face is really sensitive to water. Kind of imagine mosquito bites. When you itch it, that pain goes away. It just doesn't. Itching doesn't fix that for me. It's crazy, man. That's horrible. Basically, when she comes into contact with water, it triggers

hives. She gets hives. She can drink water. I was going to say, what about drinking water? But she can't absorb it. She can't have it on her skin or on her body. She can't wash her face. She doesn't wash her face. What about shower? Showering is painful. She can't shower in the morning before work because otherwise she'll go to work covered in hives.

Question. Her bladder is constantly in pain. How horrific is that? This is terrible. And it hurts to sweat. Yeah, because essentially it's water. Yeah. It's your body releasing water.

Incredible way Look I don't want to like make jokes and stuff like that But how does she wash herself? I don't know In chocolate milk? Yeah Does that work? Yeah is it only water or is it liquid?

Like is it Can you shower in other types of liquid? I don't know the answer to that What I do know now is that Since she's been diagnosed Because forever she didn't know what was wrong with her And now that she's been diagnosed She's like she didn't know what was wrong with her, and now that she's been diagnosed, there is

medication that she can take. So there'll be some kind of antihistamine, steroid type thing that will help her. But like we said, there's only a hundred, less than a hundred people in the world that are diagnosed with this water allergy. That's crazy. Crazy. In a way, you'd think of yourself you know, like, you're

very rare. Yes. That's so rare. Like 100. She could get a dry shampoo sponsorship. Yeah, you'd think of yourself, you know, like you're very rare. Yes. That's so rare. Like 100. You should get a dry shampoo sponsorship. Yeah, that'd be good. Wouldn't that be good? Yeah. I hate shampooing my hair.

Literally, hate it. I can't do it. Yeah. We want to know this afternoon, and this is a weird one, and we might not get that many of them, but do you have a bizarre allergy? Do you have something that you're allergic to that is not that common? Not dairy, not, I would take latex if you've got a latex allergy. Do you have a bizarre allergy? Do you have something that you're allergic to that is not that common?

Not dairy, not – I would take latex if you've got a latex allergy. You've got them right here. Have you got a latex allergy? I do. Oh, my God, that explains so much about you. What are you talking about? No, it does not. It's very awkward when I have to go to the dentist and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or milk cows. I have to use a different – You've got leather cow mil, yeah. Or milk cows. I have to use a different... You've got leather cow milking gloves. Oh, at 100 dials at M, we want to know this afternoon, do you have a strange allergy? Yeah, or you can text us on 9696. Brianne Clint. Talking interesting.

Interesting is the word I'm going to use. Interesting allergies after a New Zealand woman has come out to speak about her water allergy. Yeah, that's horrible. Only 100 people in the world. Yeah, less than 100 diagnosed cases of aquagenetic... Just say water allergy. Water allergy.

Yeah. And she's one of them. Her name is Vienna. She's 26 years old. And it impacts her whole life because she's literally allergic to water. You think about how often you come into contact with water. Yeah. I wonder if that means she

can only use hand sanitizer when she washes her hands. I wonder if hand sanitizer is like a lifesaver for her. Yeah, but is hand sanitizer, like is it got water in it? Can you hand sanitize your whole body? These are the questions we need answered. We're asking you guys, do you have an interesting allergy? Hayley's called up. Hi, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hi. What is that? What's your interesting allergy? So it's not like a diagnosed allergy, but I have an instant gag reflex whenever I eat rock salt. Whoa. You put rock salt on.

Why? Just rock salt, not normal? Not table salt. Yeah. Yeah, table salt is all good, just rock salt. Whoa. I eat rock salt every time. What?

That's so bizarre. So what happens drink table salt every time. What? That's so bizarre. So what happens if you go to a fancy restaurant? Do you just have to have no salt on your eggs benedict? Well, like, I don't know. Typically, iodized salt, I think, is used. But I don't know. I just kind of avoid anything that has, like, Does that mean you take your own salt to places?

Not that extreme, no. Oh, you should. You definitely should. I wouldn't think it was that extreme if you had a little thing of salt in your handbag. I mean, I definitely don't have tomato sauce in my bag. Going through customs would be an issue if you had little bags of salt.

They'd definitely pull you aside and ask you some questions, eh? Let's talk to Amy. Hi, Amy. Hi, Amy. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. So what's your weird allergy?

So it's my son. He is basically allergic to protein. What's your weird allergy? So it's my son. He is basically allergic to protein. So it's a metabolic condition where his body can't metabolize protein. Whoa. So he's only allowed eight grams a day. So that's any protein? Eight grams. Like meat protein, vegetable protein.

So what can he eat? So there's some amazing sort of medical pastas out there that he can have and special protein-free flours and that sort of thing. Did you just say medical pastas? Yeah, well, I have to get them on script, yeah. Whoa, wait. You get medical pastas, they're called, and you have to get a script for it. Yeah, so it's not a medical pasta as such, I guess,

but it's made by Nutrition, who's a company that makes medicines and that sort of thing. Wow, that must be an absolute nightmare for you as a parent having to do meals and stuff, Amy. Oh, it's not the easiest, but I think

he makes it really easy as well, which is good. He's so good with his diet and he'll go to friends' houses and he'll be like, oh, I can't have well, which is good. And he's so good with his diet and, you know, he'll go to friends' houses and he'll be like, oh, I can't have that, but thank you. And, you know, he's really good at that. You could never have, like, birthday cake or like, oh. I'm still blown away that doctors can prescribe you pasta.

How has my doctor never told me about this? Please take 30 grams of pasta, stat. Natasha is here. Hi, Natasha. Hi, Natasha. Hi. You got an interesting allergy to tell us about? I do.

So I'm allergic to grass. Oh, Bree's dog's allergic to grass. We found this out last week. Oh, yeah. Is it a specific type of grass? Because a lot of Auckland dogs are allergic to the ugly Auckland kikuyu grass. Is it specific grass? I mean, as far as I know, it's just any grass.

Any grass I lay on, I just instantly am covered in rashes and I'm itchy. My mum's allergic to grass. Right. Not different type, though. It's weed. Ria just doesn't agree with that. Finally, Heather's here. Hi, Heather.

We're talking about interesting allergies. What's your one? I am also allergic to water. No way! You're one of the only 100 people in the world who's allergic to water. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, I don't know that the dermatologist, like,

clocked it on any, like, kind of world, you know, database. So, Bree's question before, we'd love to get an answer to it. How do you wash yourself? So I, like, mine is managed with antihistamine. So I'll take a couple in the morning before I shower.

Like the worst water for me is sweat. So like if I'm going to go for a run or a workout or any of that, like, then I'll have to take extra. So if I want to go swimming with the kids, then I'll take extra antihistamine, which makes you pretty lurpy. Yeah, when did you figure this all out, Heather?

Like, how long did it take you to realise that you were allergic to water? Oh, ages. So long. It took ages, heaps of appointments and tests, but it didn't kick in until my 30s. So it's one of the ones that you're not necessarily born with. You didn't always have it.

People like to be from a hormone chain. Oh, that's so fascinating. Thank you for sharing with us this afternoon. We appreciate it. If you're allergic to sweating, why would you run? Why would you put yourself through it? You've literally got a medical reason To get out of going for a run That's why I don't run

No I actually No wait It's just because I don't want to Yeah you're allergic to Running Not the sweat Kia ora I'm Jane Yee I'm Alex Casey

His name's Tom Cardy and he makes funny songs exclusively. That's what he does. I think I might know. This isn't the Bunnings Warehouse one, is it? This is the Bunnings Warehouse one. I love this guy. So he's done a remix of the Bunnings Warehouse song with Katy Perry. Have a listen to this. Genius.

So good. He's conned on to something where the Bunnings Warehouse music is great and it should be a hit song on the radio. He's done quite a few, hey. Has he? I think he has. No, he's only done the Katy Perry one so far. I thought he did Super Bass. Did he?

Actually, don't quote me on that. Well, if he has, then I'm about to jack his steez because producer Ben and I have been deep in the lab going what other songs go great with the Bunnings Warehouse song?

I don't reckon that's perfect. What's your number one? I think we've done it. I think we've found the perfect one. And the good thing about this is it's got a Kiwi connection. Okay. Present to you the Bunnings Warehouse song featuring Savage. I see it now. Bunnings Warehouse, that's their new ad campaign.

Bree and Clint. Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually... That's right, Google downtime. Who is the fastest Googler in the West? And by the West, I mean here in New Zealand. South. About as far south as you can go.

That's not the same. Who's the far... Who's got the quickest drawer in the West? You know? Maybe it's Bailey. Hi, Bailey. G'day, Bailey. Bailey!

Hello. Oh, you're going to have to be faster than that, Bailey, if you're going to win the game today. Can you hear us, Bailey? I can, but I need to put it on speaker, otherwise I can't Google. Good point. Yeah, she's got a good point. Shall I take it from that that you're Googling on a phone

today? You pick the device, we Google on it. What is it? I'm on an iPad. Oh. Can we use our phones? We need to Google in the same way as you. I'm always prepared, guys. Here's my iPad. Where do you get an iPad? It's got to be even. It's got to be a phone or an iPad.

All right, phone or iPad. But always prepared, guys. In a twist of events, Clint. My phone's about the size of an iPad. We have also organised Anastasia a new phone to use, a 3315 Nokia version. Yeah, which I was slowing down. I'm just kidding.

Is it the snake version? Yeah. Sweet. Producer Ben, Anastasia and Clint all Googling on their phones. Bailey, to make it fair, this is how it works. I'm going to ask you a question. The first person to yell out the most common thing that comes up on Google will win the point.

If you're wrong, you're out of that question. You can have a guess, but if you are wrong, you're out of that question again. First of three questions right wins. Here comes question number one. How tall is the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Google. 57 metres. Clint got it.

Whoa, that feels. Now I know how Anastasia feels. That was a rush. Oh, okay. Oh, my gosh. Am I on 5G? Are you in it, Bailey? Yeah.

Yeah. Come on, Bailey. Can you reduce his point for that joke? Here we go. Question number two. How long does an early bumblebee live for? An early bumblebee live for? Early.

28 days. 28 days. Clint got it again. He's on fire today, people. Look out. Both the females and the males. Come on, Bailey. I believe in you.

We need to take him down, Bailey. He's so fast. Anyone else needs to stop him. I've never been this fast, Bailey. There's something going on. Can you just be slow? Well, I would, but I don't want to lose to Anastasia, Bailey. If I win, you win.

Okay, question number three. How much would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? If a woodchuck could chuck wood. How much? Tim? 700 pounds. A woodchuck could. A woodchuck could.

Bailey, I'm going to say you're out of the question. Clint's won. Yeah, I'm done. I finally did it. He's won. He's had a clean sweep too. No one else got a look in. Oh, my God.

The power I feel right now is incredible. Wow, Anastasia, you suck. Can I just go home? Anastasia. Bailey, withastasia, you suck. Can I just go home? Anastasia. Bailey, with my victory, I would like to bequeath you the 50 KFC chicken dollars. Don't talk to her like that. I want to give you the money, okay? Dang.

I swear, Bailey. Well, Chuck. That was not fun. No, it wasn't. Bequeath. It was not fun. Brie and Clint. I said to you, Brie, I've got a gift for you before five o'clock,

and I do have a gift for you. None of these gifts. Oh, have I ever liked one? It goes 50-50, I think. Right, okay. 50-50. I don't think that's bad odds. I think that's pretty good.

It's better than nothing. For gifting, considering I've only ever given you two gifts. That's not bad. And today, I would like to give you a gift that you can use every day. This gift. Will I want to use it every day? Well, that's the question. That's for you to decide.

Is it something I really like or is it something you like that you want to give to me? I feel like you dropped some clues. I feel like you dropped some hints about what you want. At this time on the show yesterday when we talked about something in particular. There's a mum who's making headlines this week after she has decided to make her own reusable toilet paper. I feel like I picked up on what you were asking for. And that's why this afternoon I have organised a gift for you. When you're ready, you can open this.

Why is it heavy? Please open it from the top. Please don't turn it over. Please open it as it is. Here? Yeah. Is this sanitary? Open it up.

Open it up. What is this? We have organised for you your very own family cloth. You have in front of you a waterproof basket that you can keep beside the toilet and in there is reusable toilet paper that you and your partner can integrate into your everyday life. What about the seam? What happens with the seam? What happens with the seam?

Just don't wipe with that bit. Or wipe with it. It's like an exfoliating bit. This is... I'm now offering you the opportunity to take this home and give it a go and try it out. I can't. I can't give this a go. What do you mean?

And it's blue. You're meant to get a dark colour or a dark pattern. Good point, Anastasia. We were meant to get her dark. What happened there? That was the only colour they had. Yeah, we'll give you some vanish liquid stuff.

It'll be fine. What, I have to soak my toilet paper every week? Oh, yeah. You've got to wash them, mate. Don't use them without washing them. Oh, no, I've got to wash them.

I'm just saying. Ben's been in contact with your partner, who we were hoping to have on for the show, just to ask, because obviously this affects her as well. Ben, how does she feel about it? So she can't come on today. She's busy, but she sent me a message.

Yeah, what is the message? Hey, Ben, you can read this out. That's such a great idea. What a nice thing to do. What a load of BS. What a nice thing to do. You guys are full of it. Full of it. Just as full as what this cloth is thing to do. What a load of BS. What a nice thing to do. You guys are full of it. Full of it.

Just as full as what this cloth is going to be. Well, we hope so. That would mean that you like the present. Yeah, that would be good. So take that. What happens if I do say, what happens? You'll learn. It's just learning.

I need a question. What happens if I do a number one and a number two? Do I use one cloth or do I use two cloths? It's up to you, mate. It's up to you. I mean, environmentally, try and use the one. Just try and fold it. It's two sides. What if I get the same one? Relationships are interesting. It's an interesting beast to me, especially when you have to do some of your first things in a relationship. So many firsts. So many firsts. Like, you know,

going on a holiday together. I personally think you really get to know the other person. Totally. Like if you don't live together, that means when you go on that first holiday, you're spending every minute with that person. It's also, it's not always an issue, but some people behave very differently on holiday. Some people, once you take them out of their environment,

some people go wild and they're like, I'll have alcohol with my breakfast. And some people go really suspicious. They go like, these people are trying to rip us off. This is a rip off. This is a rip off. It's a scam. Don't talk to them.

It's a scam. And you're like, babe, this is Disneyland. Some people get super stressed. Some people get stressed, yeah. Depending on where you are. Yeah. And some people don't do number twos for the entire holiday because they're terrified of using the toilet in the hotel room

where their partner is. Well, most of the time it's frosted. It's a frosted piece of glass is the only thing between you and your partner. Yeah, yeah. And you guys have only been together three months. You're not ready for that. And barley bellies hit and that's it. But it's interesting because Kourtney Kardashian,

which we don't really talk about them that much, but her and Travis Barker, which is the drummer from Blink-182, have been, we don't know how long they've been in this relationship for, but it doesn't seem all that long. It's been in the news for a couple of months. Yeah. Right? But, I mean, they're just going absolutely 110% with everything. Like

Travis has got a tattoo of her. They've just had these photos come out because she turned 42 about a week ago. Yeah. And they've been on this massive, big, elaborate holiday together in the desert and they're sharing all these really sultry pictures together. Oh, whoa. I'm looking at it now. Wow, they're diving headfirst into the relationship. I just want to say, him getting her name tattooed on him, not that big a deal when it's him. Because he's got a million tattoos.

He has an entire body of tattoos. He'd just work her in somewhere. I know. But you're right, they're going hundreds. And some people think that that's a red flag in new relationships. Where you go so much so quick. Who are you trying to convince? But then maybe we actually have no idea

and they've probably been dating for six years. Yeah, or maybe we're just jaded and sour. We don't know. Has this ever happened to you where you're in a relationship, things were going really well, and then you guys have decided to take your first holiday together? And it wrecked it. And it wrecked it. And it wrecked it.

No, I'm pretty sure I can say a holiday has not wrecked a relationship for me. I'm about to be real honest here. I was in a relationship once where things were going not too bad and we went on a holiday together and we were in – it doesn't matter where we were. We were on a holiday together. I was like, how much do you want to incriminate yourself here? Yeah, exactly. I'm like, don't give away any details.

Anyway, something I noticed about my partner at the time on holiday was that they would always take the really good seat at restaurants. Right. And that began to irk you. It did because I was like, I'm someone who I think about those things. Yeah. You know, like every single time I've got the crappy

seat that looks into the restaurant and I don't get to see any scenery or I have to sit in the uncomfortable chair. Yeah. I would always think about those things. Right, okay. So that irked me a little bit and then it caused a fight. I feel like that might have just been like a – that might have been representing something else that was simmering away

and you just used that as the – I think you're right. I think it was a little thread that was pulled that unraveled a way bigger issue. And now that I say it out loud, I'm like, that was not the issue at the time. But holidays are heightened situations and that sort of stuff can happen, which is what we want to talk about this afternoon, right? We want to talk about when a holiday ruined a relationship for you. Did this happen to you and do you regret going on the holiday

or are you grateful you went on the holiday because you found out sooner rather than later that it wasn't right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0800, dial ZM. Did a holiday ruin your relationship? You can also text us on 9696. You can remain anonymous. Bree and Clint.

It's very fitting. This is getting juicy. Some of these texts that are coming through, we need to try and get through a lot of these. Okay, we're going to go through as much as we can. We're talking about holidays that ruined your relationships. Yes. And is it a thing? Like, is it a watch out?

Do you need to be hyper aware of your first holiday with a partner? I'm telling you. Can it wreck your relationship? My theory, the holiday with the partner, the first one can make or break your relationship. The producers are trying to get some texts on. Should we go to our anonymous caller first? Yeah, let's go to one of them first.

Hi, anonymous. Welcome to the show. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. Did a holiday ruin your relationship, anonymous? What happened? Yeah, it sure did, but it was blessing in disguise. So we were together for a couple months, probably not even that,

and I had a family holiday, bought to Thailand. I was like, oh, you know, do you want to tag along? And anyway, he did and ended up cheating with me on the, with a ladyboy. Oh, he cheated on, wait, he hit your destiny to cheat on you on a family holiday. That takes. Yes. Absolute.

Did you tell your dad and he go and give him a good arse whooping while you guys were in Thailand? No, but mum and my best friend were already like, oh, how do we get rid of him? What's a good way, you know, to get him out? I would have left him there. They said it for me. Yeah, leave him in Phuket and go off to the islands.

We're going on a different flight home, so... Good. Leave him on Phi Phi Island. Yeah. There's quite a few texts coming... No pun intended. There's quite a few texts coming No pun intended There's quite a few texts coming in on this Someone texted through and they said

A holiday Oh no I think we've got that one on the phone Someone said my dad used to ask my boyfriends That he didn't like to come on holidays With us as he knew the relationship Wouldn't last long after that He only revealed this to me much later in life. That is some next level dad meddling and I am here for it.

That's amazing. That's good. I like that. That's a very smart dadding. Let's get another anonymous female on the show. Hello, anonymous number two. Hello, anonymous. Hello.

Yours is quite layered, isn't it? Tell us how a holiday ruined your relationship. Well, it wasn't actually like a holiday. It was kind of a holiday that didn't actually end up happening because we'd booked to go to Queenstown and that was actually the first time that I was going to go. Yeah. And unfortunately, it got level four.

So we were due to go. Sorry, I'm just driving in the car right now. You're on hands-free. We're on hands-free. Okay, thank you. Yeah, so we were due to go, and then we got out. Lockdown happened. We got out, like, the week after we were due to go.

Yeah, okay. And then, you know, things kind of turned sour after that, and then my ex ended up just kind of turning on me and getting quite savage and being like you need to pay me out in full for the whole trip like you need to pay me back for all the flights so I had to top the cost of like this entire trip myself and I still haven't been to Queenstown you still haven't been to Queenstown you poor thing right okay. So a holiday that didn't even happen ruined your relationship. But it was bought, so it was cursed from the start.

Someone else actually texted through about Queenstown and said, me and my ex went to Queenstown for our first holiday. Thought it went well, but when we got back, broke up a month later. Buzzy thing is my two mates went to Queenstown in the months after that. They also came home and broke up with their girlfriends. Now, Queenstown needs our support at the moment, so we can't say things like Queenstown is cursed. Starting to sound like Queenstown's cursed.

One more anonymous call. Whoa. Hello, anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, anonymous. Tell us, how did the holiday ruin your relationship? All right, so we went overseas with some friends.

And during my time overseas, I found out that my partner was actually cheating on me with one of our friends who was also overseas with us. And it had been going on for about six months prior to us going overseas. And it was like a five-year relationship. So it was pretty, like, serious. And then they ended up going away and travelling around together. Wait, so you found out, so all this stuff has hit the fan. While you're on holiday.

While you're on holiday with this group of friends. One of your friends has been hooking up with your partner of five years and then they go, right, you know now we're going to go travel the country. Yeah, so we're going to go overseas and we've planned, like, 30 grand worth of travel overseas together for the next six months. So it's fully premeditated. Oh, totally. And then

after a week, they were away together and he messages me being like, I have made the biggest mistake of my life. I'm really sorry. I want you back. Here's a tattoo that I got of your name on me so I can win you back spoiler alert

he did not win me back great spoiler alert but he still left the tattoo what a moron that was my story can you believe that you now looking back on it

now that you're out of it can you believe that you were in a relationship with this person for five years oh I totally like was blindsided by it. It was like my first love.

Yeah. So I should have known, like there was all the signs, you know, like hiding his phone when I was over. I feel like I've just watched an episode of Geordie Shore listening to your story. Like it's wild. Not to get too invasive, but I did hear a child in the background at the start of this call.

Is that his child? No, thank God. What do you think? I am happily married to my love that I found after this guy. What do you think? Oh, he did get a tattoo of my name. No, I thought the kid might have come first. I should have figured we got that tattoo.

I thought the kid might have come first. Definitely not. Thanks, Anonymous. That story was wild. Just kept going. Are we, from all those relationship holiday stories, It's anonymous. That story was wild. Yeah, man. Just kept going. Brie and Clint. Are we, from all those relationship holiday stories, are we saying another travel bubble's open,

you're in the draw to see her live in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena. Speaking of sharks, that has nothing to do with what's coming up next. That's how you segue. Bree and Clint. Look, this is super important, and this is something you and I found out on the show yesterday. This horrific, devastating news, and it was the news that pods are being discontinued here in this country.

Yeah, we ended up calling HQ, and they told us straight to our face, no more pods. Look, some radio announcers would say, no, let's stop there. That's all we can do. We've brought the information to the people, and we've done our part. We've done our job. Oh, no, not's stop there. That's all we can do. We've brought the information to the people and we've done our part. We've done our job. Oh, no, not on this show, Clint. That's not what we do here.

Right. On this show. I mean, yeah, of course not. We are the Robin Hoods of the radio industry. Yeah, that's what we are. The Robin Hoods for the people. Yeah, well, you are. I'm the friar tuck.

Yeah, you can be that guy. Yeah. Which is why I've taken a stand and I've come up with this. Bring back my pods. Where they at? Bring back my pods. Get them back. Bring back my pods.

Pod squad. Bring back my pods. That's right. From today, Clint, we are launching the pod squad. Right. What's a pod squad? The pod squad is, you know, like I said, Robin Hoods. It's our duty to go and collect as many packets of pods as we can,

the last remaining pods in this country, and bring it back to the people, the listeners of this show, and give them out for free. Gotcha. That is our job. That is our duty. Yeah. We are the pod squad.

Can I ask a question? Yes. Do we have a company credit card to do this? So, you joke. I have been in discussions with Ross Boss. Really? I have been. This morning, and I told him the situation.

I said, look, this is a big deal for our listeners and for us. We need to do this. We need to take a stand here. This is the thing we need to do to release let go of the pods. And he said, I asked him for a certain amount of money and he came back with another price and I said

done. What's our budget? We are buying $500 worth of pods. I was waiting for you to go $5,000 worth of pods. Hey was waiting for you to go, $5,000 worth of pods. Hey, it's better than nothing. Let me do a quick bit of maths

because yesterday I was across the road. By the way, the convenience store across the road from us has one shelf full of pods left. Great. They're selling for $6 a bag. No, no, no, no, no. We're talking about the medium-sized bag. They're $2.99.

Oh, right. Okay. So we can get 500 divided by three. We can get 166.666667 bags of pods. There might not be that many bags left. Yeah. But that is the test and that is the journey we will be going on. Got it.

Love it. To get as many pods that $500 can buy us as we can. If anybody has access to discount pods, we'll take expired pods. We'll take pods with the bags a little bit damaged. Yeah, a little bit ripped. Yeah, yeah. If you can give us a good deal or a bulk deal, if anyone's willing to do a bulk deal.

If you want to sell us 200 bags of pods for $500, we'll do it right now. Oh, I'd love to do that. If you want to play the last little thing that we've made here, just to christen what we're doing here. Sure thing. Pop Squad. Again. Pop Squad.

That's us. We're coming in hot and heavy. That's what you hear when you've been recruited to the... Pop Squad. Ben, can you sign up? Can you pledge allegiance to the Pod Squad? You can go on. I, Ben, would like to pledge allegiance to...

No, you've got to say it. I've got to hear you say it, mate. Pledge allegiance to the pod squad. Pod squad. Anastasia, you in? I would also like to pledge allegiance to the squad of pods. Pod squad. Well, you know who I'm in.

Yeah. Pop squad. I'll do it. Come on. Pop squad. All right, everyone, bring their black skivvies. Yeah, we're pod heists. And we're doing a pod heist tomorrow around the country.

Oh, imagine how many bags we can get if we just steal them. Yeah, like us now. Hey, we don't condone that, but, you know, these are the lengths we might have to go to. Because we're looking to get as many as we can. And we'll figure out how to distribute them afterwards. We've just got to get them first. We've just got to get our hands on them because these things are like

hot, hot potatoes. They're on the way out. Hot pods. Hot pods. Hot pods. Hot squad. I'm so excited. Hot squad. To buy as many pods as $500 can buy us It's nice to have a passion Hey it's good

I'm here to support you You need to keep busy Yeah Find something to do Past the days Pod squad I want to talk about expensive shoes for a second Do you love shoes

But your partner doesn't get it And they're like Oh why are you spending so much money on shoes? They're just stupid shoes. There's a pair of shoes that have sold today that will make any shoes that you buy seem cheap. They'll be like jandals. It doesn't matter what they are.

What do you think is an expensive? They can't compare. Before we get into this, what do you think is an expensive pair of shoes? Great question. I think. Where do you draw the line? Where are you like, oh, too much? Yeah.

Well, I think anything over $300 is an expensive pair of shoes. Okay. Because, I say that because I hurt my ankle over Christmas and I had to go and buy a pair of like orthopedic shoes. And they were $250 just for a pair of like- Yeah, how long did that last? You're wearing them. You're not wearing them no more.

I wear them at home. Sure you do. But they were were $2.50 just for a pair of like. How long did that last? You're wearing them. You're not wearing them no more. I wear them at home. Sure you do. But they were like $2.50. How much are your RM Williams boots? They're an expensive pair of shoes. How much are they? Don't try and boot shame me, okay? Those are my expensive shoes. They cost me a lot of money. $800? No, no, crap no. $700? No. Yeah. No. Yeah.

No. Yeah. No, I bought them on a friend's discount and I got them for $370, okay? And I don't even wear them. That's the worst bit. There's a pair of shoes that sold today, a pair of Yeezys that sold for a record setting $2.5 million. This is just craziness. They're called Nike Air Yeezy 1 Grammy Samples and they're the Yeezys that Kanye wore at the 2008 Grammy Awards. They also, interestingly, are made by Nike.

And you'll be like, Oi, hold up, aren't Yeezys Adidas? Yeah. He made a few pairs, a couple of pairs with Nike before he took the contract over to Adidas. So any Nike Yeezys are extremely rare. A fortune. The Yeezy Red Octobers, which are incredibly ugly,

they're really, really valuable. But these, there's only one pair of them. They're a sample and they're never made anymore. Would you wear them? If I paid $2.5 million for them? Yeah. I thought about this. I'd bloody wear them. I think you have to.

I think, who's paying $2.5 million to keep them in a case? People who are buying them as an investment would. But there's nothing more baller than wearing them, right? Yeah, I's paying $2.5 million to keep them in a case? People who are buying them as an investment would. But there's nothing more baller than wearing them, right? Yeah, I'd definitely wear them around the house. Maybe you can put them on your standing dog poo. Yeah, that's not good, is it? Ouch. I went down a wormhole today over expensive shoes, okay?

So those are up there. Louis Vuitton. Yeah, those would be expensive shoes. Manolo Blonick. No, I'm talking like one-offs. Like these, one-offs. There's a pair of Michael Jordan signed Nike Air Jordan 1s, the originals, that

sold for $560,000. Pretty decent. Did he wear them? Great question. He signed them. Yeah, he did wear them. Yeah, he wore them. Okay. The original ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz movie. Ah, them. Yeah, he did wear them. Yeah, he wore them. Okay. Yeah. The original ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz movie. Ah, yes.

They sold in the year 2000 for $660,000. You know how they can tell the ones that she wore in the movie and the ones that she didn't? Sniff test. No, on the bottom of the shoes, there's like kind of like a round there's round scuff marks for when she

like clicked her heels together. Ah buzzy. That's how they can tell. There's a pair of Tom Ford loafers your least liked pair of style of shoe. I'm not a fan of the loafer. They're diamond encrusted and they're worth two million dollars.

And Nick Cannon wore them on the season finale of America's Got Talent. What? Who's letting Nick Cannon wear a two million dollar pair of shoes? That's insane. No offence to Nick Cannon wore them on the season finale of America's Got Talent. What? Who's letting Nick Cannon wear a $2 million pair of shoes? That's insane. No offence to Nick Cannon intended. Okay, now this is where it gets really pricey. There's a replica pair of the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz that sold for $3.1 million.

But the thing is the replicas were made with 4,600 real rubies and diamonds. I've got the replica dog from The Wizard of Oz. Can I sell her? Yep, you can give it a go. If you diamond and crust her, she'll be worth more. And the most expensive shoes of all time, outstripping the Yeezys, and the diamond shoes is a pair of... Clint's RM in William's boots.

Look, in the world, there's all different types of religions, different types of traditions, different methods that they use in different religions. This one I've never, ever heard of in my life. And I don't know if you would have heard of it either. Oh, this is some dark church music, by the way. We've got this under urgency. More like vampire church.

Yeah, this is more like Dracula organs. Wait, we've got to get this right. Has Ben got anything else? Let's have a look. Set the scene. Take us to church, Ben. That's better. That's better.

I was thinking you were going to give us a bit of hosier. Take me to church. This is out of South Africa And it's a pastor named Christ Penelope Wait, the pastor's name is Christ? Christ Oh, right Christ That's an unusual name

Is it spelt Christ? No, it's spelt Christ. How do you spell Christ? C-H-R-I-S-T. Christ. Christ? Christ. Wow, his name's Christ?

Could be Christ. But if you're a pastor, you should go with Christ. Yeah, interesting. Anyway, that's not the weirdest thing about this story. He works at a church called Sevenfold Holy Spirit in South Africa

and recently there's been some social media circulating about him because of his interesting methods that he's using got it I'll tell you what he does and you tell me if you'd like to go along. He said that his method is all about simply demonstrating God's power.

So where people from the congregation come up, he then will sit on their heads. What? And he will fart on them. How does that demonstrate God's power? How? Is he saying that Christ is within him? And then he lets him out?

Is that how it works? Wait, if the wine is the blood of Christ and the wafer is the body of Christ, what's the farce? Can you imagine? No, no, it's the smell of Christ. His name is Christ and it's literally the smell that he's generating.

He's giving you the smell of Christ. Can you imagine you turn up to church on a Sunday. You're in your Sunday best, and you're like, all right, here we go. I'll go up, and depending on what religion you're in, I'm a Catholic, so you go up and you get your communion. You put out your hands, you get the bread of Christ, and you go and you drink the wine, and then you sit down, and he farts on your hand.

Let us proclaim the mystery of... Amen.
