Oh, thanks. Bree and Clint. This is a warning for anybody who has a flight box that requires a passport. Were you worried that your passport might be expired when you flew last week? No, because I had that issue a few years ago after I'd first moved to New Zealand. Yeah. And if

you're not living in your country of birth and you need to update your passport, nightmare. Oh, is it quite hard to do? Oh, mate, it is such a nightmare. Can't just go to the You go to the Australia shop Or whatever

You know There's no Australia shop There's the consulate Oh right And you have to get All these security Passes and stuff Well this is a story

About a lady Who is moving From Sydney to New Zealand Gotcha And she's had a passport Whoopsie Which could happen to you Lindsay Gray

Showed up to the airport to check in for her flight. All of her stuff had already left the country. So she was essentially homeless. Oh, no. She and the kids were the last thing to fly over. She'd already sent the kids over. She goes, I'm going to send you guys three months earlier. I'm going to have a holiday and then I'll follow you.

I'm going to get pissed on the flight. Yeah, no. She showed up to check in holiday and then I'll follow you. I'm going to get pissed on the flight. Yeah, no. She showed up to check in and they said, uh-uh-uh, there are tiny bite marks on the photo page of your passport. Oh, no. And we can't accept that. Oh, come on. She claims that her toddler had been at it.

But, I mean, there's no way to prove that. I reckon she's been nibbling on it. Why would she be nibbling on it? I reckon she's a nibbler. You know how some people are just nibblers? Producer Ben's a nibbler. Have you seen his pens? Some people are just nibblers.

And I think she's been nibbling on it. It was the kids. The kids have been at the passport. Oh, you're on Lindsay's side, are you? I'm on her side. Either way, she was trying to get into New Zealand with a tampered document. And we just won't stand for it.

Oh, give her a break. Immigration said, this has been tampered with. we just won't stand for it. Give her a break. Immigration said this has been tampered with. We cannot let you board the flight. She had to go all the way back into Sydney. She's out of the airport. She had to go all the way back into the city to get an emergency appointment to get a new passport

which cost her $533. And the only thing that was wrong with the other passport, it had been nibbled on. How bad is it? Is there a photo of it? There is. It's minor. Of course it is.

Honestly. It's minor. Honestly, can I just say, we all just need to go a bit easier on everyone at the moment. COVID has really, you know, tested us, and I feel like they should have just given her a pass on that. I tend to agree. It's just airports don should have just given her a pass on that. I tend to agree. It's just airports don't really subscribe to the go easy on you policy, do they?

As far as uptight places to go, airports are right up there. Look, if she had have cut the photo out and put a new one in of her because she didn't like the old photo, and they said, look, you've tampered. I get that. It's a few bite marks. I like the idea that they think that maybe she's nibbled the old photo out and then slid a new one in. Is that what it was? So ridiculous.

Either way, gutted. Moral of the story, don't nibble. Stop nibbling. Don't be a nibbler. Don't give important documents to your toddlers. Oh yeah, toddlers. That's right. The toddlers. Sure. Brian Clint. I put this to you,lers. Oh, yeah, toddlers. That's right. The toddlers. Sure. Brian Clint.

I put this to you, Clint. Yeah. You've been married for, what is it, 100 years? Four years. Sorry, four years. But you've been together with your wife, Lucy, for like seven. Correct. And a half.

What, are you stalking me? No, but I just put this to you. What if your wife, Lucy, said to you, she didn't even say to you, actually. Yeah. She just deletes you from Facebook. you what if your wife Lucy said to you, she didn't even say to you actually, she just deletes you from Facebook. And then you find out a couple of weeks later, you notice and you're like,

wait a minute, we're not friends on Facebook anymore. And you say to her, hey babe, why aren't we friends on Facebook anymore? Did you unfriend me on Facebook? And she goes, yeah I did. And I'm not adding you again. I would be very suspicious. It's weird, isn't it?

To be honest, like her Facebook content, there's a lot of it. Not for you? Boring? Yeah, it's just not very good. Nah, she doesn't really put anything on there. Are you saying you wouldn't, there's not much you'd miss?

Look, Facebook, if it was Instagram, I'd be like, yo, I know you use Instagram. Oh, so you find that more offensive? 100%. I'd be like, what's going on? Okay, well, let's if it was Instagram, I'd be like, yo, I know you use Instagram. Oh, so you find that more offensive? 100%. I'd be like, what's going on? Okay, well, let's say it's Instagram. Oh, I'd be like, red flags. What are you doing?

Yeah, right. What are you hiding? There's this woman who has taken to the internet, and this is real cute. So she is asking for advice from people because she said, look, my husband and I, we're both in our 50s and we've got two teenage children who live in the same house as us. Like, it's pretty serious. Yeah, they're fairly down the track. Yeah, and she said, look, we've been through some tricky times

over the past couple of years for various different reasons, but we're working through things and we feel like it's moving in the right direction, which is good. Yeah. She said, however, he removed me on Facebook last year and despite me asking him to re-add me, he said he will not. Dodgy. She said, I'm finding this very upsetting and he knows this.

He said he is a private person and does not want others knowing his business. Not even his wife. He is active on Facebook. Anyhow, it bothers me and I would love to hear what other people think. Do you know what I think? I know that people's brains will straight away go to he's cheating on her. He's cheating on her. He's cheating on her. He's got a double life.

I don't believe that he is. I believe he's, because he's in his 50s. Oh, you would say that. No, no. I know you would say that. No, listen. Hear me out. I believe he's, because he's in his 50s. Oh, you would say that. No, no. I know you would say that. No, listen, hear me out. I believe he's using his Facebook page to slag her off. So he's on there. Oh, that's even worse.

I reckon he's on there with his mates going, because you said they've been having issues. I reckon he's venting in his Facebook status updates where he's like, Beryl, stupid cow, blah, blah, blah. Well, why can't he do that in private like normal people? You know, don't put it so publicly. Well, it is in private because he's made his Facebook page private. I think that's a red flag.

It's 100% a red flag. Isn't it? Like, why wouldn't you re-add her? Yeah, you can't have secrets in a marriage. You can't. If you want to live a private life and not have others know your business, then you probably shouldn't live with your family and all your kids in the same house. I wonder if the kids are on the Facebook.

Oh, that's a great question. Right? Yeah. Oh, they're teenagers. They won't have Facebook. And they wouldn't be adding their dad. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dee McCarthy.

This might come as a shock, but they are shooting a new Fast and the Furious movie. Number 28? Yeah. But, Dean, there's been some drama on set all of a sudden. Talk about drama. So the director, Justin Lin, now they're 10 days into shooting.

They've started shooting. 10 days in, he has quit. Now, he has directed five of the 780 cast series movies that we've already seen. But here's the thing, right? So, we're all shook, shocked, everything. He was, of course, scheduled to direct this one, the 10th, and also the next one, the 11th. And they put it, this always

makes me laugh, Hollywood, they wrote Creative Differences, and it was an amicable split. There is nothing amicable about 10 days into shooting a $100 million movie, and the director quit. Nothing amicable split. There is nothing amicable about 10 days into shooting a $100 million movie and the director quit. Nothing amicable. I've got to tell you, that is not as nice as they've tried to make out.

I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I can assure you this is not amicable. It's got to be pretty major for the director to walk. If he was beefing with someone junior, and unfortunately how it works is they just fire the junior person to move them on. So to me, it sounds like the director must have had a bust up with one of the stars of the film and the only person irreplaceable that's left on that show is Vin Diesel, right?

He's the only one. So do you think the director and Vin Diesel have fallen out, Dean? I reckon that's an excellent theory because first of all, none of the producers would have that much of a barney with him that he would quit. That's not possible. He's done five of them

so there's nothing shocking, surprising about the film schedule or anything like that. He's done five of them. It's not like he walked on set and he was like, I was told this was an indie art house film. Why are there so many guns here? He knew what he was doing and I mean he's silly because why would you pick a fight with Vin Diesel?

He's scary. Yeah, right. You know? Yeah. Well, there you go. Unfortunately, Fast and Furious fans, there's a slight delay to your next instalment. But don't worry, there's a huge back catalogue for you to go and watch. Yeah, there's massive.

There's plenty of movies for you to watch. Can I hijack this segment for a second? Yeah. I've just seen some massive entertainment news. Go on. Apparently, Lil Nas X has tweeted out in the last 24 hours that he's trying to get a particular band to headline the show with him. I've seen this.

His tour. Yeah. The Wiggles. Yeah, Lil Nas X runs a tour with the Wiggles. Yeah. Did you see that, Dean? I don't know. This is breaking news.

Breaking news. You've heard it here first. He's tweeted out to the Wiggles that he's like, I want you guys to be my co-headliner and open the show for me. As someone who has kids, I never want to hear another Wiggles song in my life. But imagine. I never.

Honestly, I've got PTSD. I've got wiggly PTSD. Wiggly PTSD. But imagine you take your kids to the Wiggle show and then you get to go to the little Nas X show afterwards. Is that how it works? They just take themselves home? Yeah.

The kids drive themselves home. They know how to do that now. There you go. There you go. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dee McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent. Bree and Clint. Look, there's this article that I saw where it's a study

that was done based on what people say are the worst habits they believe when they're looking for a potential partner. Oh, yeah, okay. Which this is always good to know, these things. Should we go through the list? Go on. I feel like we need some vibey music. If there was just a song that could

fit the bill when talking about bad habits. What about this? Yeah, that works. That works. Ed Sheeran, Bad Habits. I just whipped that up while you were talking. Did you? Producer Ben's staring me down. Number one. Actually, it's not in any particular order

but these are some of the habits that people said turn them off. When people smell bad. Oh, absolutely. Hygiene. Absolutely. They said no. Surely a stinky person that's in a relationship became stinky in that relationship

because the stink would ward off any potential dates, right? Yeah, exactly. So that's a big one, people say. Another bad habit that they say turns people off is when they talk too much about their ex. Yes, especially in the early stages of the relationship. Not a good sign. No, it's not a therapy session, bruh.

It means, I mean, it could be a sign that you're not over the other person. Yes. You know, that's what the other person might be thinking. Another one was person. Yes. You know, that's what the other person might be thinking. Another one was smoking. Okay. Bad habits that people don't like, looking for a potential new partner. Some people find it hot. Who?

I'm not pro-smoking, but. Who finds it hot? Well. Chandler or friends, that's about it. Me, when I'm watching TV and like. Do you though? Well, when the guys on Peaky Blinders are smoking, I'm like... You find the guys on Peaky Blinders hot.

I like that about you. Let's go. 2022. There you go. But don't smoke. I'm not pro-smoking. I hate it. Let's hope not.

Smoking, bad habit. It is a bad habit. Another one is they say when people are disrespectful to weight stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah, huge, huge red flag. Say when people are disrespectful to weight stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah, huge, huge red flag. That can be the straight one deal breaker. If someone is rude to people who, you know, are serving you or whatever, I'm out straight away.

Absolutely. Who do you think you are? Yeah. And another one, when people talk about themselves in the third person. Does anybody really do that? There is people who do it. Nah, there's not. Yes, there is.

Not in real life, there's not. I'm telling you. Really? I reckon there is. If you went on a date with someone and they started talking about themselves in third person. Brie likes garlic bread. Brie likes what Brie sees. Yummy, yummy. Brie needs garlic bread. Brie likes what Brie sees. Yummy, yummy.

Brie needs to use the little girls room. It's creepy. It's so creepy. It's so creepy. And one more is when people aren't good with space. So they're space invaders. Oh, okay, yeah. So they don't know the spatial awareness.

Personal space. Yeah, personal space. Yep. I think we branch out this afternoon and I want people to call with what they think their worst bad habit is. Oh, okay. You know?

Yep. Like it's a safe space here. We'll think about our own here in the studio. We'll come to the table. We're not perfect. We're not. No one's perfect. I'm happy to point out my single floor.

I was going to say I have heaps. I was going to say, I have heaps. If you want to call 0800DIALS at M or you can text us on 9696. What is your worst bad habit? Just call yourself out this afternoon. Yeah. Be honest with us. Be honest with yourself for once. This is the therapy session.

God damn it. You know? Yeah. 0800DIALS at M. 9696. Text. What's your worst habit? And we'll get them all on. It's time to get honest.

It's time to talk about your bad habits. That's right. We're opening the forum here this afternoon. You can call 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Be honest. What is your worst habit? We're not going to make you do it without doing it ourselves, though. We'll be honest as well.

Exactly. We need to be honest. So, Brie, when you're ready, tell us what's your bad habit? What's your worst habit? I don't know if I have one. There's quite a few. I leave water around the sink after I wash my hands. I flick it on the mirror. I flick it on the mirror.

I flick it on the mirror. I bite my nails sometimes when I'm really nervous or anxious. I also do that, I scratch my throat. Oh, yeah. You audibly do it. Do it? Yeah, no. That's quite annoying.

I'm like a grunty little pig. Yeah, that, yeah. I mean, take your pick. What about you? And your flatulence as well. Oh, my flatulence too. I mean, just, you know, all of them. I dig way too deep in my ear with the cotton bud.

I love that. And I'm cleaning them out. Yeah, I do that too. But it's my pleasure. It's one of my only pleasures. But I know I'm doing irreparable damage to myself. I stock up on vegetables at the start of the week so I can live a healthy lifestyle.

And then I buy sushi and then I throw the veggies away at the end of the week. And, you know, I probably care too much. For my worst habit. You also lie. Let's get some honest people on the phone. Nelson is here. Hi, Nelson. Hi, Nelson. Oh, g'day.

You willing to admit your worst habit to us? Oh, picking my nose. Oh, Nelson. Hey. You know, I feel like we've all been there. You know, come on. How old are you, Nelson? 19.

Are you a picker and a flicker or are you a picker and an eater? Oh. No comment. Oh, he's an eater? Oh! Ah, no comment. Oh, he's an eater! Oh, he's an eater! Nelson, you boogie eating. Oh, Nelson. Hey, you said this is a judge-free zone.

Oh, yeah, true, true. I mean, you know. It's way worse things, Nelson. Just don't put it on your Tinder profile, okay? Oh, I might have to. I might have to update it tonight. Honesty is the best policy. They'll find out eventually.

Let's get one off Ben. Producer Ben, what's your worst habit? You're not perfect, are you? What's yours? I would say one of my worst habits is biting my nails. Yeah.

We're getting a lot of that, eh? He stopped in the last couple of months. The other one's biting pens. I have a habit of just biting pens. I'd say it's biting pens.

We had to buy Ben his own stationery order here at ZM. No lie. He loves a pin. He's got his own special cup of pins just for chewing on. Yeah. Okay, that's a good one. Let's go to Tane.

Tane's here. Hi, Tane. Hi, Tane. G'day, g'day. You want to be honest with us and tell us your worst habit this afternoon? My worst habit, mate, would have to be swearing. Oh, yeah. Have you got a bit of an Australian accent there as well?

Yeah, yeah. I moved a year and a half ago. You foul-mouthed Australians, eh? God. You know, and I can't even deny it. The only reason I don't swear for four hours in a day is because I'm doing this radio show. You know?

Yeah, you automatically learn to switch it off. Yeah, maybe get a job in radio, Tane, and then you won't swear. He hasn't sworn while he's been on air with us. Which is good. So that's positive. Thank you, Tane. Someone's texted and said,

my bad habit is that I'm pregnant and my farts are stinky at the moment. Well, that's not really your fault, is it? That's not your fault. Someone else said, my husband hates it when I crack my knuckles. That is a bad habit. Yeah, and they said,

I hate it when he leaves beard trimmings in the sink. Oh, yeah, that's bad. My wife won't stop going on about that. You need to get that towel that you tie around your neck and then you stick the things to the mirror and it catches them. She said that towel is humiliating. You know what is humiliating?

That towel is humiliating. It's de is humiliating? That towel is humiliating. It's dehumanising. Picking your beard hairs. Oh, I said to you, picking your head hairs out of the shower drain. Well, actually, now that I think about it, we don't know if they're beard hairs or if they're other types of hairs.

We don't know. Anastasia, finally, what's your beard habit? Yeah, come on. Be honest. Do I have to pick one out of 100 or? Pick your favourite. Takeaways. Yeah, I never cook.

I never cook. Mum always asks me, are you cooking dinner? Are you cooking lunch? Never. You're 24. This is the time where you're allowed. Yeah. Like I'm, you know, now 32 and I eat grated cheese out of the bag.

It's not cute at 32. Are you only 32? Yeah. I wasn't saying bag of cheese either, it's not cute, at 32. Are you only 32? Yeah. I wasn't saying bag of cheese either. I was meaning like takeaways, like a meal. Oh, yeah, same thing. Producer Ben has been with the show for four years. He leaves tomorrow.

It's his last day. Are you leaving the show? Yeah. Oh, well, someone could have told me. Budget cuts. It was him or you. Oh, see you later. No, he's got a new gig.

But look, look, there's one thing that this show has become known for while you've been here, Ben. There's a lot of things. And I think you would agree. Oh, no, what's going on here? The thing that we are most known for, buying shitty vehicles. True. Yep, we have bought a few of them.

And I propose to you, before you leave, you organise one last purchase. It's time that the Bree and Clint show owned a spaceship. I thought you were going to say we needed to buy producer Ben's car. No, I don't want that shit, boss. That's a shit car. I've sold it. It's okay. No, I don't want that shit box. That's a shit box. I've sold it. It's okay.

What is this? Currently on Trade Me is a 2006 Nissan Prezage that is also an exact replica of a NASA space shuttle. I'm in love with it. I've fallen in love, Ben. We're buying it. That's very cool. It's got wings.

What? It's got a tail fin thing. It's done 200,000 Ks, but don't listen to that bit. It has NASA insignia and afterburners that produce real smoke out the back of them. Good smoke? Bad smoke? Like, well, actually just smoke. I don't know where the smoke comes from.

I love it. And currently the highest bid is less than $1,200. No. Also, unlike the DeLorean, the Space Shuttle has a warrant of fitness. I was going to say. That's a big, big check. Does it turn on? It does turn on. It drives.

Look, I think we don't even worry about the Ks because, I mean, it is a long way to the moon and back. So they're going to have a lot of Ks on them. The Starship is for sale and all the money goes to the moon and back. No, so they're going to have a lot of Ks on them. The Starship is for sale and all the money goes to get the Starship. Oh, it's even better. And the owner of the spaceship joins us on the phone right now. His name is John Powell from Hamilton.

Kia ora, John. G'day, John. Hi, guys. How are you? We're good. Thank you. Tell us why the Bree and Clint show needs to own your spaceship. Because there's nothing else like it.

Yeah. And as you've already hinted, look, it's almost impossible to find a good spaceship with less than 200,000 k's on the clock these days. It really is. Yeah. You know? I mean, Elon Musk's spaceship's done more k's than that. The last vehicle we purchased, John, because we are in the business of buying weird cars,

was a replica DeLorean which didn't ever warrant a fitness and it caught fire on the last trip, last leg of the trip. Yeah, it was a bad purchase. Does the Space Shuttle have any issues like that? Oh, absolutely not, absolutely not. Look, it is a

sorry, it is a 2006 or 2007 Nissan. It's done almost 200,000 k's. So it's very difficult to make any statements about the reliability of the vehicle. I hear you. I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. How much do you want for it?

Look, we're just trying to raise money for Starship. They want as much as possible. Gotcha, gotcha. It's on a dollar reserve auction right now. The auction closes on 8th of May. Ben, what are your thoughts on wrapping this deal up for us before you leave? Because if you put this one through, here's the good bit, you won't have to deal with the road trip.

You'll be gone. I know, my head's spinning. Yeah. I reckon you seal this deal for us and the Brian Clint Show goes on its first road trip of 2022 in a space shuttle. How does that sound? I reckon do it. If you can win the bet,

go for it. You guarantee, John, I will be betting on that auction. Bidding? Oh, fantastic. That sounds brilliant, guys. I 100% will.

How much do you think would get it, John? Oh, that's, that, look, I can't make that call really. I'm going to say, how much is the welfare of New Zealand's children worth? That's a very good

answer. Great question. Look, I mean, if we were to take it off air and I was to, you know, offer you a certain amount, like, you know, just between you and I. Let's stop promoting the spaceship, actually, if we want a good idea. True, true. John, it's a worthy cause. Thank you for your time this afternoon.

And hopefully we meet you in person to hand over the keys of your 2006 Nissan spaceship. Yep, absolutely. Look, that would be brilliant. I really hope you guys win it. I love what you're doing for the kids, John. I mean, it's an awesome cause. We get an awesome vehicle.

Where would we go first? I vote Uranus. There's no way I'm going to Uranus. Bree and Clint. You got anything you want to share with the group? Oh, no. Ross is listening. Is he listening?

Well, at the moment... Oh, well, it's not his money. At the moment, it's not his money. It's not his money, is it? He won't care. Currently, I'm the lead bidder on the space shuttle. And no regrets. Worth every penny.

We're going to the moon. It's about time I bought another weird vehicle, and I feel like this, oh, still the leading bid. Anastasia, producer Anastasia, who come Monday will be the only remaining producer on this show. Why are you shaking your head? What's your issue? Please, Brie, please don't do this to me. Anastasia, it's for the kids.

Huh? It's for the kids. Someone else can do something else for the kids. We want to go on a road trip that you have to organise. No, I don't want to go on a road trip. Road trip, road trip, road trip. Road trip. What did JFK say in the space race?

He's like, we choose not to do these things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. I like that saying, Anastasia. You should live by them. And then he said, road trip, road trip. Producer Ben's like, I've never been more glad to be leaving. How much money have you bid on the spaceship? Two grand.

Jesus Christ. Worth every cent. I'm helping the kids, and we also get to own a spaceship and drive it around. I mean, it is a win-win. Tell me how it's not. Well, we'll see how we go with that one.

She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really.

But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do. Brie and Clint's What's the Plot? The most hotly contested game we have on this show, where today the prize pool is $850 cash. It's a great amount to win, but also a large amount to lose. All you have to do is slay the dragon. The dragon is Brie Thomasale,

who today is going for her 17th consecutive victory. You haven't lost this year. Oh, really? Nope. And we carried on from end of last year. That's right. Here to take you down is Lucy. Kia ora, Lucy. Hi, Luce.

Hi. You're a movie buff. Have you got a home cinema at your place? Oh, just about a cinema, yep. Yeah, good. Good start, Lucy. A few DVDs? Oh, definitely.

Netflix, DVDs, all that. What's your favourite genre? Oh, maybe the romance genre. I don't know, yeah. Romantic comedies? Yeah. That's not going to hold you in particularly good stead today because today the theme for What's the Plot,

producer Ben's favourite movies. He could be a fan of romance. I'm going to say he's not though, Lucy. Okay, we'll be fine. We'll be fine. He leaves at the end of this week, so this is a tribute to him this game. Oh, that's nice.

What you need to do is buzz in with your name as soon as you think you know what the movie is. Don't wait for me to finish the plot line, okay? Okay. Get in there. First to get two movies correct wins the game, and if it's you, Lucy, you get $850 cash. Good luck.

Awesome. Here comes the first of Producer Ben's favourite movies. Christopher McCandles is the son of wealthy parents and graduates from university as a top student and athlete. However, instead of embarking on a prestigious and profitable career, he chooses to give his savings to charity, rid himself of his worldly possessions and set out on a journey into the Alaskan wilderness.

Into the Alaskan wilderness. Bree. Into the wilderness? Into the wilderness is very close but wrong. Lucy. Lucy? Into the... Oh, this is best. Alaska Wilderness, Lucy.

Alaska Wilderness. Alaska Wilderness is wrong. How have you guys not seen Into the Wild? Oh, I do know you love that film and you told me to watch it ages ago. It's such a good movie. I haven't seen it. Have you seen it, Lucy? I haven't. No, I haven know you love that film and you told me to watch it ages ago. It's such a good movie. I haven't seen it. Have you seen it, Lucy? I haven't.

No, I haven't seen it. Wilderness starts with wild. That's what I was trying to get you. Oh, gotcha. Okay, movie number two. We move on. Okay. In 1966, the BBC broadcasts less than an hour of pop music a day,

forcing others to take up the slack from boats anchored outside British waters. Quentin is the commander of such a vessel, overseeing a host of seedy and... Lucy. The Boat That Rocked? The Boat That Rocked is correct. Never even heard of that movie. You haven't heard of The Boat That Rocked? Never even heard

of it. The Pirate Radio Story. It's got Reece Darby in it. No, I haven't heard. I've never heard of that film. Oh my god, you've got to watch it. I need great. The Pirate Radio Story. It's got Reece Darby in it. No, I haven't heard of it. I've never heard of that film. Oh, my God. You've got to watch it. I need to. You're working radio. I know.

Okay. I've seen the one with Robin Williams. Good Morning Vietnam. Yeah, I've seen that film. Oh. Okay, one point to Lucy. Oh, no. Lucy, you can win the game here.

I can do this. Yeah, let's go. You can win the $850 here. Okay. This movie is all about a special school where the best of the best train to refine their elite and specific set of skills. With a new hot shot.

Brie. Brie. The Kingsman. The Kingsman is wrong. You should make a free guess, Lucy. Can you finish the plot? I can continue, but you have to forfeit your free guess. That's, yeah, that's fine.

Okay, I'll continue. You're both in this. You can both buzz in. Ben, if you lose me this, I'm coming for you. And he's leaving. When a new hot shot is sent to the school, his reckless attitude and cocky demeanour... Lucy.

Lucy. Lucy. Oh. Is it Sorry. Is it It's not 17 again, is it? It's not 17 again. I like it.

One with Zac Efron. I love that film. Yeah, good film. His His cocky demeanour puts him at odds with the other students especially the cool

and collected Iceman. But our main Brie. Brie. Batman? Batman is wrong. Free guess, Lucy? What is this film?

No. Okay, no one's going to get it. I'm going to buzz that one off. It's Top Gun. Oh, yeah. Nah, wouldn't have got that. Wouldn't have got that. I should have got that.

Okay, movie number four. Yeah. Young Reginald changes his name and collaborates with another singer-songwriter to become the most Brie. Rocket Man. Rocket Man's correct. Scores a level.

This is for the win. Okay, this has been a dismal game from both of us, Lucy. It's been shocking. Let me have it. These are Brent Ben's favourite movies. I know. I thought I knew Ben better. Okay, this period thriller is set in London

where two rivals, partners, until the tragic death of a friend during a show, feud bitterly. The Prestige. The Prestige is correct, and you've saved the game. Finally, I got one. Lucy.

Lucy. Oh, I got one. Lucy. Lucy. Oh, God. That was the tightest game we've had in quite a long time, but I think mainly because there were so many movies you guys didn't know. Mainly because of that. But, Lucy, you've done a lot better than some, so congrats, and there's 50 KFC chicken dollars as a consolation. Oh, okay, thanks.

Good game. Good game, Lucy. Call back again. Ben, do you think maybe you've got bad taste in movies? Nah, I just think they weren't very good at guessing. I think that's right too. Very blokey, that movie list, wasn't it? Yeah.

I've got to put on Top Gun. No rom-coms in there. Definitely not. There's no 27 Dresses. Yeah, I thought you liked Katherine Heigl. I was at home last week for the Easter break and my parents were telling me all about this festival that they went to and it's the local festival that happens in Stanthorpe.

I think it's every four years and it's called the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival. Is it once every four years? I think so. Like a Rugby World Cup? Yeah, I think it is. Okay. And it's quite big. It's this big, you know, festival that happens throughout the main street of Stanthorpe and

about 50,000 people go across three days, you know. So it's a big thing. Everyone's drinking. It's like country Queensland's Rhythm and Vines. It is, kind of, you know, big deal. And my mum and dad were telling me about how they had a great time, you know, great time at the festival. And I read an article earlier this morning which concerned me quite a lot. Right.

And the article read, a Stanthorpe man was busted driving his ride on lawnmower down the main street at nearly triple the alcohol limit and with an open can of beer in hand during the Apple and Grape Festival. I love the idea that you're not drink driving because it's not a car. That's a mower. It's a ride on lawnmower. It's not driving.

It's not driving. That's worse. And when I read that, I put two and two together and I'm pretty sure that this could be my father. Oh, no. He owns a ride on lawnmower. Oh, no. He loves beer. He was at the festival. He was at the festival. Hemower. Oh, no. He loves beer.

He was at the festival. He was at the festival. He lives in Stanthorpe. So I think we need to call him and just ask him a few questions. Just probe him a little bit. You know, to see if this was him. Hello, Stephen speaking. G'day, Big Steve.

It's your daughter here. Mum said, I'll bet you that's Brianna. Hey, Dad, we just thought we need to ask you a few questions. If you can just answer them as honestly as possible, that would be great. Yes or no? Yes or no questions. I already know the answer to this one, but just for, you know, obviously our records. Did you or did you not attend the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival?

Yes, I did. Okay, good. That's positive. Covered that one. Yep. Do you or do you not own a ride-on lawnmower? Yes, I do. Okay, good.

There's another one. Check that off. Yep, good. Did you or did you not drink alcohol at the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival? I don't know. If you don't remember, I think you probably did. You know, just answer it honestly. Yes, yes, I think I did. Oh, he thinks he

did. Did you consume alcohol from a can at the Apple and Grape Festival? Yes, I did. Think you're being honest, but this is not looking good for you, Big Steve. Not looking good. The last question.

Was the alcohol in that can at any point beer related? Yes, it was. All right, great, Dad. Now that you've answered all those questions, I'd just like to read you this headline from an article I read earlier today. A Stanthorpe man was busted driving his ride-on lawnmower down the main street at nearly triple the alcohol limit with an open can of beer in hand during the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival. Guilty!

Do you have anything to say for yourself, Dad? No, that was me. Look, I'm going to reform from now on, okay? Yeah, you've seen the error of your ways. The good news about this is the main street of Stanthorpe has never been so well mown. Yeah, the berms are great. Yeah, the bad news is, Big Steve,

you have to forfeit your lawnmower licence for the next 12 months. Mum and Dad are going to have to mow the lawns on the farm. She's already started. Glad we could clear that up, Dad. And as I always say to you and Mum, don't drink and drive, you're a bloody idiot. That's exactly right. That's exactly right.

We were warned from the errors of our ways. And don't drink and mow either. That's just as dangerous. He's not even denying it. No, I know. Oh, you got me. Look, let's talk landlords because this next story about this landlord, I don't think I've ever heard of another crazier landlord.

Right, okay. Right, so there's this guy that's making news around the world where apparently he owns this kind of block of units. Right. And within the block of units, there's communal areas. Okay. So they all share kind of the same yard. Got it.

So, you know, backyard, front yard kind of deal. Anyway, this guy was getting so sick of his tenants and he didn't know which tenant it was but someone wasn't cleaning up their dog poo. Oh, don't you hate that? It is one of my pet peeves. I hate when people don't pick up their dog poo. Standing in dog poo...

Is the worst. ...can ruin your whole day. And I get, you know, sometimes you run out of bags or you forget you don't have bags but... The real shocker is standing in dog poo and then having to get in your car. Because what do you do with your shoes? Is it on the front you put it in the boot? Put it in the boot.

Like, where do you put it? Upside down is the only way to go. But then there's still dog poo in your car. I say you just walk home. Wherever you are, you don't get back in your car. I say burn the shoes. You know? Anyway, this guy was like, I've had enough of this.

He goes, none of you will own up to it. None of you will pick up the poo. You know? Anyway, this guy was like, I've had enough of this. He goes, none of you will own up to it. None of you will pick up the poo. Yeah. So what I'm going to do is, is you're all going to have to do DNA tests on your dog and I'm going to test the poo to see who it is. What a crazy person. I know. DNA tests on a dog.

Yeah, so apparently the DNA test, you swab inside of your dog's cheeks and then you send the sample to the DNA company's laboratory. Yeah. And the landlord said, and you guys are going to pay for this service. I've just Googled something I never thought I would Google. Is there DNA in faeces?

Is there? Well, it says faeces tend to be very rich in bacterial DNA and you don't need much to get a result. So his plan would work. It's going to cost a fortune. If you're planning a crime, don't plan to go number twos at the crime scene.

Can you imagine the poor lab testing place, who are probably swamped with COVID tests at the moment too, and he shows up with a swab and a bag of dog shit and he's like, sort it out. I need you to tell me whose dog this dog poo belongs to. So the test costs about 160 bucks. Yeah.

And anyway, the guy's, you know, been through, he's checked all the dogs and the poos and he's found the culprit. Is he? He's found the person. The pooper trader. The pooper trader. The pooper trader. Exactly. Anyway, so he's like, right, you're being kicked out of the flat

and I'm going to fine you about $1,600. Wow. Really? For not picking up your dog poos, so yeah. Well, look, that's a crazy landlord. It's also one bad egg in the apartment complex that has almost spoiled it for everybody. Yeah.

By not being responsible. Because what my mind goes to is that the landlord, obviously not that crazy because he's allowing dogs. You know what would really mess with him? In the units. You know what would really mess with him? What? The day after he kicks out that person and dog,

you just go and do a dump on the lawn. Yeah. And he comes back the next day, he's like, ah, finally my units are poofed. What the hell is that? Whose dog was this? It must be a big dog. Then he's picking it up.

It must be a huge dog. I'm going to go test this at the lab. The results come back. That's human. Human feces. Should we talk about crazy landlords this afternoon? Yeah, I want to hear from people who have been in a situation where, you know, your landlord might have got a bit cray-cray.

We know there's good landlords out there, but we don't want to hear about them this afternoon. There's heaps of good landlords. We want to hear about the crazy ones. Yeah, we want to hear about the overbearing ones, the psycho ones, the weird ones, like the overly friendly ones. The ones who are like, oh, are you having a party? Could I

come? Yeah, what if they do? Which fits the bill? We don't mind. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696. You can remain anonymous. Totally. Because you might still be living in that property. We're talking crazy landlords this afternoon.

Yeah, it's after this story came out about this landlord who wanted to find out which one of his tenants wasn't picking up the dog poo, so he got all the dogs in the building tested with the DNA test. I need to read out this text. So he found the person, Found out which dog it was And the owner And someone texts through and said

This is so good This is the best text of the week for me They said So the DNA test showed that it was 100% that bitch See that is just clever That is just That is I'm going to clap that.

And if you don't get it, it's the song by Lizzo. Which Lizzo song was it? I just took a DNA test. Turns out I'm 100% a bitch. And I'm a dog. So we want to know your crazy landlord stories. Has your landlord DNA tested you? We don't know

Calvin's here G'day Calvin G'day guys How's it going? We were just wondering Where you were Calvin I'm here Here he is

Why New album due to come out Yeah Calvin Oh yeah That's good stuff Didn't you used to be Scottish Calvin? Nope

I used to be Texan Calvin I'm obsessed with you Calvin Tell us Nope. I used to be Texan. Calvin. I'm obsessed with you, Calvin. Tell us your crazy landlord story. Have I got one for you. Oh, tell us.

We used to live in Texas, my wife and I. And in North Texas, you have to pay for water because it's scarce. Yeah. And the landlord was so particular about the lawns that she would come by like twice a week and just water them. Right. And we had to pay for the water and she would just come by and be incessant about caring for the lawn. She'd call us all the time and like, yeah. Oh no, that's not odd. Nah. So she'd just come by and she'd be like, oh yeah, I'll use your water and you guys can pay for it.

No. No, no, no, no, no. Because you're renting their house. The lawn's over to you, right? If it goes a bit brown, that's on you. If you want to kill that lawn, you kill that lawn, Calvin. That's it. A little bit.

It is a little bit like that, right? If you're that precious about your lawn, don't rent the house out. No, but it's true. Like if you're renting the house out, you know, you're getting the benefit of someone about your lawn. Don't rent the house out. No, but it's true. Like, if you're renting the house out, you know, you're getting the benefit of someone paying your mortgage. Yeah. So you can't keep coming over there and checking up on all those things. Oh, so she's spying on you by being on your property twice a week.

She's going to see what you're up to, right? It's real. Like, ours was okay, but the house we were connected to, there was another house in the front, and it was connected, and that one was worse because it had, like, all the windows open all the time, and, like, yeah, she'd just come around and have a snoop. All right, well, hey, looking forward to the new music, Calvin.

Good to chat. Yeah, can't wait. Oh, yeah. Can you collab with Rihanna again, please? Oh, yeah. It's on the books. Okay, good. Okay, thanks, Calvin.

That's Calvin Harris. I love people like that. Amelia's here. Hi, Amelia. Hi, Amelia. Hi, guys. How you Amelia. Hi, guys. How you doing? Good, thanks.

Tell us, Amelia, did you have a crazy landlord? Oh, boy, did we. So we went from the best landlord. You had a problem. He fixed it. We ran out of gas, and he felt bad for me and my friend having cold showers. He bought us a gas bottle. Nice.

To a literal nightmare. We lived on edge for an entire year. The night we signed on for a year we got home, happened to see this thing on Facebook and they were like, oh, look up your landlords on the Tennessee Tribunal just to make sure they haven't done anything. Well, she had

12 cases and then we looked up her husband's name and he had a further 7. And they were everything from her going through drawers, him making racial comments, everything. So we spent an entire year tiptoeing

around and then maybe halfway through the year she was like ranting and raving having split up from the husband and then turned up dating the gardener. That sounds like a movie plot. It was so bad.

She sounds wild. She sounds crazy. Was she a bit of fun though? Like, did you guys get on the piss with her at all? Absolutely not. Yeah, right. No, good idea. No, good idea.

Yeah, good call. Good call. I was going to be very shocked if you said otherwise. You're like, she's... So look up your landlord. Yeah. They look you up. You might as well look them up, right?

It's true. They do a background Check on you Go and dig through Their dirty laundry Not literally but Imagine saying to your landlord Well I did my Checks on you actually

17th of September, 1966. Good man. You were 16 in 1982. And on the 17th of September, Gary, this was number one. Banger. Joan Jett. What do you think, Gaz? Oh, mate, I love sausage rolls.

I mean, I love rock and roll. Okay, wait there, Gaz. We've got a hard decision, actually. I like all of those songs. I like all of them. I got the biggest buzz off the Silverchair song, so I'm going to vote Silverchair. I remember when that song came out, the Silverchair one.

Yeah. And just being like, they're back. Yeah. And just loved it, and I'm going to go Silverchair. Easy peasy. I got a lift home from his sister one time. Did you? From a party.

What a claim to fame. She was like, you know, I'm Daniel Johns' sister. I got a lift home from his sister one time. Did you? From a party. What a claim to fame. She was like, you know, I'm Daniel Johns' sister. I was like, what? Hey, Lena, congratulations. You won birthday banger. Yay! Nice work, babe. I read a crazy stat about, or fact about flight attendants today.

And I was like, that can't be true. Surely that can't be true. I love when you read stuff like this and it really shocks you. To confirm whether this is true or not, we've actually got hold of a former flight attendant. Benny is here. Kia ora, Benny. G'day, Benny.

Hey, guys. How's it going? Good. Without revealing too much, you worked for an international carrier. Is that correct? Yeah, that is correct. How long did you work in the industry for? So just under three years.

Yeah, I was recruited here in Auckland. Perfect. Perfect. You're exactly who we need. So I'm going to read you the story and then you're going to tell me at the end whether it's true or not, okay? Delta Airlines in the States is making news because they've started to pay their staff for the actual amount of time they work

instead of what they used to do, which was only pay them from when the doors of the plane closed. Wait, so they only start getting paid when they close the doors. But what about all the boarding people and all the other time that they go? You're waiting for the flight to arrive. You're walking around the airport in your uniform. You didn't get paid as a flight attendant On Delta and it says a bunch of International airlines until they close

The doors of the plane So what if you're on the plane waiting for people to board But there's delays So you're not getting paid for the delays No you don't get paid for that Oh that's BS Benny you're an international steward yourself Is there any truth to that?

Yeah so The thing is, and most people actually don't realise this, that to welcome you on board, or whatever happens from the start, from when to when you welcome you, and then when we seat you and everything, we actually don't get paid for that. The airline that I work for, we never got paid. What? When our pay starts is when, you know what we call it, chock block. Yes.

And that's when they remove those chock blocks from the tires. Yeah. When the aircraft gets pushed back, before the aircraft gets pushed back. So up until they release the plane, you're not technically on the clock. You're not getting paid. No, definitely not. I mean, so that's when we get ready. Even when we're in the briefing, they brief us about the flight,

how long, special passengers, all this, all that. Even when the flight is delayed, we are not actually getting paid for that. That's mental. Technically, Benny, could you be a real asshole to a bunch of people? Because you're like, technically, I'm not on the clock. I'm not working. I'm not getting paid for this. You know?

You know, I wish, you know, honestly, I wish I could. There's many times where I've just gotten so frustrated, but I worked for a five-star airline. So if I got feedback from a passenger and it was a bad feedback, then I would be in serious trouble. That is insane. God, I'd love to say to someone, I'm not getting paid for this. Yeah, yeah.

Literally. I'm not getting paid right now. That's so unfair in my opinion. Benny, why did you leave the industry? Was it because of that or was it because of COVID? You know? Literally. That's so unfair in my opinion. Benny, why did you leave the industry? Was it because of that or was it because of COVID? Well, to be honest, a lot of people think, and I thought as well, that, you know, cabin crew, they live a really awesome life, you know. Yeah, glamorous.

They travel and, you know, do this and go places, which does happen, but they don't see a lot of things that I've seen, you know, do this and go places, which does happen, but they don't see a lot of things that we, that I've seen, you know, and a lot of it is just, you know, you get passengers that are just absolutely horrible to you. You know, you don't see your family. You lose track of your diet, and there's so much. Most of the time that I was flying, I was either tired or fatigued, you know? Yeah. Yeah, because you work your shift work and then you're in different times.

Your body clocks off. It's actually really hard on your body, isn't it? That's fascinating. Well, thank you, Benny, for the insight. Thank you for letting us know the truth. That needs to change. So it has changed. They're going to pay them 50% of their regular wages now,

outside of that. Well, hey, it's better than nothing, isn't it? But still. I don't know if that's true for Air New Zealand. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't. Surely it wouldn't be. Not here in New Zealand, but isn't that fascinating? Bree and Clint.

Our show maintains its position as the leading show for aviation and maritime news. It is true. And for the first time, maybe, potentially, I've got sexy maritime news. Christ on a bike. The ship horn has been upgraded. Oh, my God. That blew my bloody butthole out, Ben.

It sounded like the cruise ship was directly behind me. Sorry if you drove off the road. Anyway, give us your 6E maritime news, Brie. Jesus! God, that was scary. Announced earlier this week,
