Hello everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. I want to run a gift idea past you guys
that's for my daughter Tui who turns two next month. Get her anything, get her a bag of rubber
bands, actually don't because she'll eat those. She'll choke on those. Get her a shoe, get her
one of your old shoes. She's got shoes. No, not for her.
Just an old shoe.
They're lying around the house.
No, it's a special occasion.
I want to get her something nice.
She's not going to remember it.
You know how you can get kids' versions of adult things,
like little toy lawnmowers?
So you can go out and mow the lawns like your parents.
They do little toy Dysons, little toy vacuum cleaners as well.
Found a new one that's currently at Kmart.
It's a little toy
air fryer.
Just like my air fryer.
Yeah, but does it actually work?
No, God no.
See, when I have kids, I'm going to buy my kids actual miniature
vacuums that work.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
And a lawnmower that works.
The sewing machines that actually work?
Yeah.
You guys are never allowed to have children.
Easy bake oven Brilliant
Just get one of those
The small oven things
A pizza oven
I'm going to get my kid
A miniature deep fryer
You guys don't know how kids work
Shocking advice from you
A miniature, This is cute.
Outdoor pizza oven.
That's pretty cute.
Imagine a miniature one of those.
That's fine as long as it doesn't light up.
As long as it doesn't have fire inside it.
It's character building.
We'll figure that out later.
We played with fire
as kids. We turned out alright.
Did you miss the bit where I said she's two?
Yeah, I think we started early.
Right.
I'll keep that in mind.
She needs to learn how to build a fire with a flint.
Right, okay.
Yeah.
These are all great ideas.
Get her a flint.
Get her a survival kit.
A flint from Clint.
Yeah.
Flint from Clint.
Okay, cool.
I don't know if you were planning to, but just with those thoughts,
you guys don't need to worry about getting a birthday present.
Are you sure?
No, no.
Anastasia and I were going to go halves on the outdoor pizza oven.
No, she's good.
Remember the chainsaw we were going to get?
Yeah.
What brand do you rather?
Steel or Husqvarna?
Because we couldn't pick.
Yeah, exactly.
You've got to be particular About having the same brand
Or a throwing axe we thought would have been fun
Brie come on
You know I poo pooed it at the start
I poo pooed it at the start but old shoe
I'm back to old shoe
Old shoe done sold
Line her up an old shoe
That'll do it thank you very much
Um yeah
Okay in the studio Who knows when Tui's birthday is?
I don't even know my own sister's birthday.
How do you not know your own?
No, I know what it is. There's a St. Patrick's. Don't ask my parents.
I can barely remember mine.
Well, now I'm going to ask you your parents.
Well, I don't know.
I think I know my parents' birthday.
One of them's like 60-ish.
St. Patrick's is a fun birthday to have
No it's a shit one
Why?
Because you always think
Like Bree
You always think that everyone's
Kind of like with New Year's and stuff
You think everyone's going to do a big party
People are going to have a party regardless
They're not going to give a crap
I'd rather St. Patrick's Day than my shit birthday
At least people are keen to go out for a drink on your birthday
Exactly everyone's already out
Then you lose
Yeah no that is true.
You lose what?
Hey, at least.
You lose concentration on you.
At least there's some sort of thing happening.
They're not celebrating you.
They're celebrating St. Patrick's and you're there and it's coincidentally your birthday.
Yeah, right.
Better than mine that no one's doing anything and everyone can't be bothered.
But you know what?
On the topic of shit birthdays, I also think that multiple siblings,
like twins and triplets,
always need to get added to that list
because you always get like...
Yeah, it's shit.
If you get a group of friends
and there's twins in the group,
they'll spend the same amount of money for one person
and buy two small shitty gifts.
How do parents get around that for triplets
to give them their own special day?
Do you have to host three birthday parties each year?
I was friends with triplets in high school.
Really?
And that's what they did, yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
You have to have three separate guest lists because people don't want to go to the...
They held them different weekends apart.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Yeah.
But that's the same like friends though.
They'd have the same friend groups, wouldn't they?
Well, sometimes. Not always.
Those are people to be friends with.
Imagine going to, that's a bender.
Yeah.
You're five years old, you're a three-party bender.
So much cake.
Do you know Tui's birthday?
I think I do.
What is it?
No, no, no, wait, wait.
I want everyone to have a guess and then whoever's closest.
Wait, what did he say how far it was?
Did he say it was like two weeks away or something?
No, we're not letting, yeah, no.
I don't think. It not letting... It's close.
It's close.
Within the next month.
Anyone want to have a stab?
Yeah, I didn't have to be off the top of my head,
but I would have said 23rd, 24th of July.
Wrong.
Anastasia?
Can we make this a game of high or lower?
Lower.
No, you get one guess.
I am going to go... I'm going to go with the 14th.
Wrong.
I'm tossing up between a few.
Are you looking at your calendar?
Can I just say I don't expect any of you to know my daughter's birthday?
I'm going to say, oh, I know this, but it's early July.
I'm going to say July 7th Unfortunately
I'm the closest?
Seven
Seven
No Anastasia was the closest
It's the 11th
Well done guys
You're all terrible
As long as Clint doesn't forget we're okay
Yeah
I'm not going to feel bad
If anyone's bought that kid's air fryer
Can you tell me if it's any good?
It doesn't work
It's a piece of plastic
It's a kid to ask for suggestions
What do you mean if it's any good?
What does it do?
I don't know what good means
Tell me if it's shit
There's good toys and there's bad toys
I agree with the shoe
For you guys, shoe.
Yes, please.
Why don't you get her some sporting stuff?
Like get her a miniature basketball.
It's a candy.
Don't get her a bloody air fryer, you sexist.
I'm getting an air fryer because I've got an air fryer.
Do we need to go, by the way?
Oh, yeah, we literally got to go.
Okay, bye.
See ya.
Okay, see ya.
Hey, Google.

Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one.
Good, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
Happy Monday.
It's Brie and Clint.
Hello, everyone.
A bit of a down day for me.
If you are a State of Origin
fan, especially if you're a Maroons fan,
it's a very,
very grim time. Doesn't get much
darker than that, right? It's not good.
Hey, so how about we just don't mention it?
No, too late. I already did.
We just don't mention it today. No, you've got to
take these things head on. You know you're opening
yourself up to some phone callers, some
Blues fans.
That's all right.
Probably get some calls from some Auckland blues fans who are still celebrating their win from last week.
Nah, they have to stop celebrating now
because there's other things to celebrate.
There's other blues things.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Hey, question.
I just nipped across the road and picked up this here.
This is a wellness shot.
What's our thought on wellness shots?
They're like vitamins.
Yeah? This is
60 mils of pure ginger
juice. This cost me five bucks.
How do you think that's going to go?
You're such a sucker.
Do you think it tastes good? It's called Fireball.
They're stupid. They don't do anything.
My daughter's got a cold. I'm trying not to catch it
at the moment. I'll just give it a... This is just a live
taste test of Goju Fireball.
Oh, that tastes awful.
That's what they do.
They make it taste bad
so that you think it's good for you.
Surely that's going to heal something.
Oh, it feels like it's burning my tonsils.
I feel good though.
You would like the biggest sucker for stuff like that
Yeah well guess who's not getting sick
Yeah that's going to definitely do things
Better than antibiotics I heard
Today on the show your chance to win
20 grand with the box at 4 o'clock
Plus Bree's in the midst of running a sweepstakes
A bit of an illegal betting ring in the office
Can't tell you too much about that just yet
But there is a wager being made on the show today, isn't there?
Look, I am at the forefront of setting up.
The people are calling it the biggest race that New Zealand has ever seen.
Yeah.
The race that stops the nation.
Yeah.
It's the next best thing to Farlap.
Right, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, yeah, right.
And we're doing it all here in-house.

Yeah, yeah.
You're only 28, Paul.

She's 22, and she's from Dennyverk.
Welcome to the show.

Nice work, mate.
Bree and Clint.
There was an auction in Dunedin over the weekend
for a whole lot of stuffed stuff.
Taxidermy.
Yeah, taxidermy stuff.
Stuff that's been stuffed.
The official name for it.
Yeah, some people say taxidermy, some people say stuffed stuff.
The official term.
Depends where you grew up.
In the auction, I'll give you some of the stuff that sold.
There was a lion in the auction that sold for $10,000.
There was a wolf in the auction that sold for $6,000, a stuffed wolf.
There was a whale's...
Vagina.
No, penis.
That had been fashioned into a walking stick.
How much would you pay for a whale's penis that had been fashioned into a walking stick?
I don't want any of this stuff.
Really?
No.
Not even the whale donger?
No.
I think it's called a dork, by the way.
A whale's...
They feed them to dogs and stuff. Do they? I'm pretty sure. Whale wangers. Yeah. Do they of it. I think it's called a dork, by the way. A whale's... They feed them to dogs and stuff.
Do they?
I'm pretty sure.
Whale wangers.
Yeah.
Do they?
Yeah, I think so.
What, now or back in the whaling days?
Well, Whitney's favourite thing to chew on at the moment,
and Whitney's my dog, is dried bull's penises.
Oh, yeah.
Surely they're not fishing out whales and whacking off their wangers, though.
Surely.
I think they do.
I think that's what they turn them into.
The whales one went for $1,800, but the Big Daddy, the Mac Daddy,
the most expensive item available in the Stuffed Stuff auction
was a polar bear that sold for $44,000.
A stuffed polar bear.
This makes me so sad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why are you paying money for this stuff?
Well, I'm hoping it's vintage.
No, it doesn't matter if it's vintage.
I'm hoping it's from a time gone by when...
Nah, not keen.
Yeah, well...
Not keen.
What are you going to do?
You go around to someone's house?
I'll take my fake cow hide carpets.
Or these fake cow chairs we've got in the ZM studio.
Yeah, I'm keen for the fake stuff.
What would you do if you went around to someone's house
and there was a $44,000 life-size, well, it is life-size, it's real,
stuffed polar bear in the doorway?
You've got too much money.
Correct, you've got too much money.
What are you doing with your money that you need to buy the polar bear?
This is Montgomery Burns-level expenditure, right?
Yeah, not Kane.
You're going, what do I don't have?
What do you get the man who's got everything?
Why is the polar bear worth more than the lion?
I guess because it's so impressive.
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe the lion wasn't in such good condition.
I don't have a picture of the lion, but that is the polar bear.
I want to talk to some people this afternoon
who have stuffed stuff in their house.
Like, have you inherited something?
Was your granddad a hunter and there's something that's been passed down?
Or did you get the family pet taxiderms so it could stay with you forever?
That's a thing people do these days.
Yeah.
That is a thing.
I stayed at Cam Mansell who does the night show.
His batch, which is near a lake.
It's next to a lake.
And in the house are just all these taxidermied fish,
just trout everywhere.
I don't get the fish one, eh?
I don't understand how they do it.
There's no way that any of that fish could still be in there.
Surely not.
Well, it would stink.
It would stink.
Well, it's the same with any animal.
Yeah, like if there's a big swordfish on the wall.
Did you inherit it?
Did you stuff it maybe?
Or is it the family pet that you can't get go?
Do you have a stuffed something that you want to tell us about this afternoon?
0800 dials at M Or you can text us on
9696
Good stuff
Some crazy person
Just paid $44,000 In Dunedin to own a stuffed polar bear?
$44,000.
That's so much money.
Yeah.
I find stuff stuff weird, like the idea of this dead thing looking at you.
But some people have whole rooms full of this stuff, right?
Yeah.
It's never been a thing in my family.
Nah.
And I don't think...
But your family are not big hunters, eh?
No.
No, neither.
No.
We used to go rabbit shooting on our property.
You're not going to stuff a rabbit, are you?
No.
Well, some people do.
Some people do.
Some people stuff the big hairs.
Do you remember the dog on Scrubs?
They had their dog stuffed?
Spot?
I can't remember what his name was.
But I'd love to talk to someone who's done that.
So we want to know, have you got any stuffed stuff?
Maybe you inherited it.
Maybe you want it.
Michaela's here.
Hi, Michaela.
Hi, Michaela.
Hi.
How are you guys?
Good, thanks.
What's stuffed, Michaela?
My husband has a hawk and a stoat That were stuffed by his grandfather
His grandfather was like
He's like really artsy
So we have a house full of his art
And a couple of his dead animals
How do you feel about
This is a safe space
And your partner's probably not listening
How do you feel about having a stuffed
What hawk in the house?
Oh no he knows I don't like them
They're on top of the pantry
They're high enough that I can't see them
because I'm short.
Oh, Michaela.
That's a memento,
and he'll have sentimental value attached to it,
unfortunately.
I bet he's got other sentimental things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's talk to Anika.
Hi, Anika.
Hi, Anika.
Hi, guys.
Hi, what's stuffed?
What's stuffed?
I've got a peacock and two hares.
I've got a mum bunny and a baby.
And I've got a harrier and a pheasant in the freezer, ready to go.
So you're a collector, Nega.
Well, it just kind of happened over time.
But they've all got names.
Are you a stuffer?
Do you do the stuffing yourself? God, no. Right. No, they've all got names. Are you a stuffer? Do you do the stuffing yourself?
God, no.
Right.
No, they've all been taxi-dermies.
No, because that would be weird, eh?
That would be weird.
Just in my spare time, you know?
I do it as a hobby.
No, no, to stuff some dead things.
Yeah, right.
No, I draw the line at that.
Any interest in a $44,000 polar bear?
Would that go good in your collection?
I've seen a polar bear and they're incredible, but $44,000 polar bear? Would that go good in your collection? I've seen a polar bear and they're incredible,
but $44,000, it's pretty steep.
It's a little bit too much.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Vanessa's here as well.
Hi, Vanessa.
Hi, Vanessa.
Hi, how are you?
Your one's controversial,
and I know you feel weird about it too, right?
Yeah.
What is it?
So my husband's grandmother, who's in her 90s,
has got this huge lion in the middle of her lounge that's been stuffed.
A real lion?
A full lion.
Or just the head.
Right.
Not a full lion.
It's disgusting.
Yeah.
Are you concerned that it's your partner's grandmother,
are you concerned that you're going to inherit that lion one day
and it's coming to your house?
Heck no.
My husband doesn't even enter the house until the lion's covered.
Oh, he's not into it either.
No.
I have the awful duty of going into grandma's house,
covering the lion,
and then saying to him and my kids it's okay to come in.
Does she, what is it, Vanessa, that she, you know,
where did she get it from, do you know?
And why doesn't she want to just get rid of it?
Okay, it's a bit controversial.
One of my husband's uncle went on a safari tour in Africa.
Yeah, right.
So it's not even vintage.
Yeah, no, it's not.
And it was obtained and they wouldn't take it to Australia.
So she stuck with it because no one
else has the space for it.
I love your big brave husband
making you go in and cover up the lion
before he enters the room too.
It's awful. It's actually
awful. He's actually a really quiet
guy but then he
comes in.
Oh that's nice. You're doing a nice thing for him.
There you go. Okay well you missed out. If that was your bag the auction's over now and you also missed out on the whale penis. Oh, that's nice. You're doing a nice thing for him. There you go. Okay, well, you missed out.
If that was your bag, the auction's over now.
And you also missed out on the whale penis.
Oh, I'm so devastated.
I'm not buying all the dead stuffed animals.
Oh, I missed out.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest.
Live from LA with Zee McCarthy.
The Free Britney movement rolls on,
and now Iggy Azalea has joined the conversation.
Hi, Dean.
Hi, Dean.
Hi, guys.
Hey, I've been waiting to hear this, actually.
Iggy Azalea has finally spoken out on the Free Britney movement
because if you are a fan,
you'll know that they did a song together
called Pretty Boys, I think it was.
And it was awesome.
And after the song was released,
Iggy came out saying that Britney didn't do any work
in promoting it or going and doing appearances.
And that's why the song didn't have huge commercial success.
Now, now Iggy has come out and said the reason we didn't do promo, the reason Britney didn't do tours and go out and do television appearances was because she was under this tight, tight control of the conservatorship. In fact, she also realised and revealed that when she went to work with Britney,
Britney's team searched Iggy Azalea's house
to make sure there was nothing that could be influential.
So you can take whatever you want out of that.
Iggy didn't say specifically what they were looking for,
whether it was substances, whether it was, I don't know.
Honestly, I'm not even going to go there.
But whatever it was, they searched her house,
and Iggy has finally revealed that.
And now, of course, Iggy has come to Brittany's defence,
saying that she should be freed from this hideous conservatorship as well.
Interesting.
Did you see, Dean, Kevin Federline, Brittany's ex-husband,
has also spoken out on this.
Did you see that?
No, I haven't.
I've been travelling.
What did he say?
So apparently he said, and there's a bit of controversy over this
because a lot of people are saying, fans are saying that they reckon
he hasn't really weighed in on this that much.
But he said it doesn't matter how positive of an effect
the conservatorship has had if it's having a detrimental effect on her state of mind.
His lawyer said he needs to support,
he supports her having the best environment for her to live in
and for his children to visit their mother in.
Yeah.
Everyone's all coming out of the woodwork now, eh?
It sounds a bit off to me, though.
It sounds like he kind of is like...
Releasing a statement for a statement's sake.
Absolutely.
There's a lot of that going around.
And like we said, the movement continues.
So Dean will keep us updated.
By the way, if you're a sucker for cute dog content,
go and follow Dean McCarthy's Instagram account.
Because what sort of dog did you guys just get, Dean?
We just got...
John and I got a Great Dane, and she's a little puppy.
And today when I landed in the US, he brought her to the airport and I'd never met her.
So I ran out of the airport as he picked me up and the dog was in the passenger seat.
That's so cute.
We were reunited.
Dean, she's very cute.
Also, have fun cleaning up those human-sized poos.
She's going to be 130 pounds.
Yeah.
She's going to be huge.
Dean's Instagram account is at Dean McCarthy,
and that's the latest live on ZM.
Brianne Clint.
Guys, don't know if you know, but I went to Polytech,
and I did a course in event planning,
and now we have possibly the event of the year taking place tomorrow.
You may have not heard anything about it.
No build-ups at all here.
Yeah, so that's a bit of an oversight. Probably should have done heard anything about it. No build-ups at all here. Yeah, so I need – that's a bit of an oversight.
Probably should have done a bit more promo.
No, no, I mean you're not over-hyping it is what I mean.
Oh, right.
No, this is the build-up, mate.
I'm not tearing you down.
I'm building you up, okay?
This is a great event.
I want to be a part of this.
So this all came about when –
No build-ups.
No build-ups.
Yeah, and then I thought you were talking about doing promo
leading up to the event.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Producer Ben and I always have these bets that we like to make with each other,
mostly around State of Origin.
Thank God we didn't make any this year.
But I can't remember how it came about, but you and I started talking about it.
I think I said I reckon Whitney could beat you in a race,
and you were like, nah, mate, there's no way she could beat me in a race.
You'd come in just saying, oh, I'd been in the dog park today.
By the way, Whitney is Bree's dog.
Oh, yeah.
Some woman that Bree knows.
I got splashed by the mutt.
God, she's quick.
And I just, I said straight away with full confidence.
And I stand by this.
I'd smoke her in a race.
Well, Ben, get ready to put your money where your mouth is.
Get ready.
Because tomorrow morning Yeah
Producer Ben
Ben McDowell
Will take on

What's your weight? Definitely low 80s Low 80s Bree Whitney the dog's height? Probably like 20 centimetres. Ben, what's your weight?
Definitely low 80s.
Low 80s.
Bree, what's Whitney's weight?
Low 8 kilos.
Ben, what's your time over 100 metres?
Under 13 seconds.
Oh!
Oh!
You're dreaming.
13 flat.
13 flat.
If you've listened to this show for a long time,
you will know we got Ben to race Paralympic champion Liam Malone.
That's right.
And what time did you record in there?
Yeah, 13 flat.
Right, and he's done no training since then.
I don't believe he wants it.
I did.
I've got it.
He's done zero training since then, but he's still in peak physical condition.
Whitney's never been timed.
Whitney's best time?
Unknown.
We don't know.
I mean, she's a small dog.
She's not a big dog.
I feel like the matchup is right.
This is going to be big. Look, to get the
view of what people were feeling around
the office, we are running a sweepstakes.
And I went out earlier
today to get the views
and ideas of who's going to win from here
in the office. Here we are one day
out from the biggest race that
stops the nation. Let's go
gauge the thoughts and feelings around the office
about who they think is going to come out triumphant.
Ben McDowell versus the dog Whitney Houston, over 100 metres.
Obviously Whitney Houston.
Oh, actually, she might get distracted and run,
and I'm going to put it on Ben McDowell.
Who are you backing to win, Ben McDowell
or the dog Whitney Houston, over 100 metre dash?
Ben McDowell, very sure. Ben McDowell or the dog Whitney Houston over 100m dash? Ben McDowell. Very
sure. Ben McDowell
versus Whitney Houston the dog. Who's
your money on to win? Depends if there's
food at the end. There will be food?
Whitney. Back in Whitney
Houston in for the win. Obviously the biggest
race of the nation tomorrow, Whitney Houston
the dog versus Ben McDowell over
100m dash. Who's going to take it
out? Who's got the longer legs? I believe that would probably be Ben McDowell over a 100 metre dash, who's going to take it out? Who's got the longer legs?
I believe that would probably be Ben McDowell.
Ben, definitely then.
Who is going to come out on top?
Whitney Houston, easily.
Says it like it is in the office.
There it is, the mood, the thoughts and feelings as the nation gears up for the biggest race
in human versus dog racing tomorrow.
Fairly evenly weighted there, I think.
It did seem like it.
I am in the process of running a sweepstake.
You guys need to give me your dollar, by the way,
if you want to put a bet in.
I can't bet, eh?
No, you can't bet.
No, you can't bet.
You do need to be incentivised, though.
And so, Producer Ben, we have an incentive here,
a prize for the winner of this race.
Anastasia, please bring in the prize.
Whoever comes in first in the inaugural Ben vs. Dog race.
Will take home this amazing meat tray.
It's so much meat.
It's got sausages.
It's got bacon.
It's got steak.
It's got mince.
It's got sausages wrapped in bacon.
Look, I have had a word to my dog, Whitney.
I've told her what's on the line because she wasn't keen.
She was like, I don't want to prove myself.
I already know how good I am.
I'm not racing some chump amateur.
Yeah.
And I said, look, there is a meat tray up for grabs.
And she was like, I'm in.
Yeah, she's in.
So that's the only way we could get her to agree to this.
Well, I agreed with no incentive.
So that says a lot about Whitney.
So now, put your head down, mate, because that meat, I know it's got you ridden all over it.
Put that at the finish line.
I'll do sub 11.
Yeah, when I think of Ben McDowell, I think meat tray.
Yeah.
I'll wait 100 dials at him right now.
We need messages of support for either Ben or Whitney the dog.
No, who you got?
Yeah.
Let's talk tactics.
Let's talk sweepstake No, who you got? Yeah. Let's talk tactics. Let's talk sweepstake.
Who have you got?
Have you got producer Ben McDowell weighing in at 80-something kilos,
around 28?
You're around 28?
Yeah, yes.
28 years of age.
Or do you have Whitney Houston, the dog, weighing in around 8 kilos,
canned terrier, smaller dog, over 100 metres,
who's going to win?
The Canteria or the Pride of Canterbury?
That's what the race is.
0800 dials at him.
Place your bets right now
because tomorrow on the show,
you're going to know.
You're going to know exactly who's going to win this race.
You can also put in your predictions
on the text machine on 9696.
Who you got?
Who's going to win?
Bree and Clint.
The race that stops the nation goes down tomorrow
between Producer Ben and a very small dog called Whitney Houston.
Oh, my God.
You know why this is so good is because it's actually a very even matchup,
I feel like.
I actually can't pick.
What makes it so even?
Well, I've seen Producer Ben run and I've seen my dog Whitney
run and I feel like
they've both got pros and cons.
What?
We're asking for your message of support and your predictions.
Someone's texted and said, I've got
Ben. If Whitney is anything like her owner,
she'll show up to the race with a fake cast on.
Fair. That is fair.
Whitney is crafty like me.
I'll take that as a compliment.
When we attempted to do a Bronco, Brie went into a cast for a week just to avoid doing it.
Yeah, well, Bronco, very different to 100m sprint.
It's a lot easier.
Less running, a lot easier.
Let's get Alex on.
Hi, Alex.
Hi, Alex.
Hello.
Hi.
What are you thinking, Alex?
Who you got?
Producer Ben or my dog Whitney Houston?
Who's winning?
In all honesty, I reckon produced Ben will win.
Just straight up.
Your money's on Ben.
Okay.
There's a lot of meat on the line.
Like it's a rather large meat pack.
And I don't know if Whitney really understands that she'd be winning something.
Meat just shows up for Whitney.
Bree just gives it to her.
Well, I'm not going to feed her for the next 24 hours, Alex.
So she's going to be very hungry.
Good.
Let's go to Ashley.
Hi, Ashley. Hi, Ashley.
Hi, Ashley.
Hello.
How are we?
What are your thoughts, feelings on this match-up of the year, Ashley?
I'm going to put a cheeky five on Whitney.
Yes, Ashley.
Good bet.
How could you not?
I mean, how could you not back?
I mean, she's got the name.
She's got the vibe.
Is it the two legs over four legs?
Or is it the, what is it
that you think gives Whitney the edge over Ben, the
moustache man? I mean, have
you ever tried chasing a dog that's
escaped down the road? That's so
true, Ashley. You know, one of the
challenges we face is, can Whitney
run in a straight line? Can she run
where she's told to run? I assume I'll be at one end
with her, holding her, and you'll be at the other end,
Bree? Yeah, can she concentrate for more than three seconds?
It's going to be the toughest thing for her.
Yeah, yeah.
But I feel like it's going to be a great race.
I feel like it's going to be close.
We'll put you down on Team Whitney.
Thank you, Ashley.
Thank you.
A lot of texts coming through.
Someone said, Whitney, I back her in all the way.
Duh, she has double the amount of legs as Ben. She's tiny.
Ben could go on all fours. I will not be.
Someone said Whitney has this in the bag.
Ben has no chance. What?
Someone else said Ben
in the race for tomorrow have bits
of meat ready to throw at Whitney to distract
her.
Hit her with a rogue sausage.
The meat pack's on the line prepared by the butcher's
daughter Anastasia. Who's going to take it out? the meat pack's on the line, prepared by the butcher's daughter, Anastasia.
Who's going to take it out?
You'll find out on the show tomorrow.
The race goes down before the show,
and we'll have all the results.
I still need your bet, Clint.
Oh, I've just put my money down.
Yeah, who are you backing in for the win?
You know what?
And this is serious, because I'm writing it down.
How many of you are actually getting money from people?
Write it down.
Where's the money going?
Do I get it if I win?
No, the winner gets it. The winner gets it.
The winner gets it.
The winner of the sweepstakes.
You get the meat tray.
I think Ben has slowed down since his last race,
but I'm going to put a dollar on him too.
Oh, this is so tough.
This is so tough.
It is quite tough.
I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
I think if anything, I've sped up.
I might end up going a dollar each way, actually.
I need some time to think about this.
A dollar each way.
Brian Clint, here's Post Malone in Better Now. Zit him.
Brian Clint. If you were just following
Race That's Stopping the Nation
tomorrow, producer Ben versus my dog
Whitney Houston in
100 metre dash. Ben,
just to let you know,
producer Anastasia backing you in for the win.
She's just given me her bed in the sweepstakes.
Oh, great. That's a safe bet.
Clint and I are backing Whitney in for the win.
Sorry, ma'am.
Sorry, Ben.
I just think in wet conditions,
you're not going to be in your element.
I just think you'll be slower.
Yeah, right.
Sorry, man.
Yeah, that's fine.
I believe in you,
except when it's against The small world
You could beat
Any one of us
But I just think
I'll use this energy
To prove you wrong
Yeah
Or what about me
Versus Ben
No that's too easy
That's yeah
It needs to be a challenge
This is a story
About someone
Who has got
More than they bargained
For at an op shop
Remember last week
We talked about
That David Bowie painting
That someone found
At the dump shop
For five bucks
and then sold it for $108,000?
Well, this story is not as good as that one.
Great.
I'm so glad we're doing this one second.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lady in Australia purchased a backpack for 20 bucks last week.
Okay, good deal.
Good deal.
It's a faux leather backpack, so that's how you know it's good.
All the advantages of a leather bag with none of the leather.
I think that's what they say when they try and sell you faux leather.
It's like leather, but not.
Inside the bag, I always find this weird.
People buy things from op shops.
One, that the op shop didn't look inside the bag before they sold it.
Yeah, that's weird.
And two, that you didn't look inside the bag before you bought it.
That's the first thing I'd do to see what pockets
and facilities it has.
Totally.
What are you doing buying a bag sight unseen on the inside?
As I've become older, I love a bag with a lot of pockets
and facilities.
What if it's got a funny whiff to it?
What if it smells like someone's old banana in there?
Yeah, I mean, your cats took a dump in your bag.
Remember?
The dumbest thing I ever did.
That bag still smells and you still use it.
I don't use it now, but I persevered with it for a while.
Yeah, and you stunk a lot of the time.
No, one time I stunk because there was poo on my gym gear.
Sure, that was the reason.
No, the issue going forward was that the bag became a poo magnet,
so the cat kept going back to the bag.
Yeah, Whitney's the same.
My dog, once she wheezes in one spot, she just loves wheezing in that spot.
Inside this bag was a temporary parking pass.
Good score.
That's worth the 20 bucks in itself.
You can then park somewhere.
Maybe you can get in some of those special mummy baby parks or something.
And also inside there, I'm going to bring it up on the screen and you can describe this item here. This is the other thing that the lady found inside her $20 backpack. She's
put it on Reddit. What do you think that thing is right there?
It looks like, I want to say a crystal.
Reddit has suggested that it may be an applicator tampon
in the bottom of the bag.
I mean, from like really quick glance,
it looks like an applicator for a tampon.
But too shiny, right?
Yeah, it looks like a crystal.
Yeah.
It's got to be a crystal.
Someone said a big joint they found in the bottom of the bag.
Nah, again, too shiny, eh?
Oh, is that a vape?
Vape could be a new crystal vape.
No.
People were really freaked out because the majority of people came through and said, is that a vape? Vape could be a new crystal vape. No. People were really freaked out
because the majority of people came through and said
that's a crystal. That's crystal meth
that you found in the bottom of the bag. No, it's not.
Isn't it? No. Isn't it?
Isn't it? I watched that
Patti Gower documentary. It looks like the right colour
but going off that Patti Gower documentary
she's holding about $3 million worth
of pee right there. I doubt that is crystal
meth. The Reddit community have come through,
and in the end have decided,
yeah, it's a crystal.
It's someone's lucky crystal.
Oh, well, not so lucky anymore.
No.
So she's going to put it out under a full moon
so it can charge.
And then call them back on the crystal.
Bree and Clint.
What's their name?
What's their name? His real name ain't some shady real or fake name, baby. The game where you have to guess whether a celebrity
is operating under their real birth given name
or a fake stage name.
Someone said you should call the game actual or alias.
Yeah, we'll take that into consideration.
I like it.
Very good on the text. We play in teams. Jenna's here. Hi alias. Yeah, we'll take that into consideration. I like it. Very good on the text.
We play in teams.
Jenna's here.
Hi, Jenna.
Hi, Jenna.
Pick your team, Bree or Clint.
Can I go Clint?
Absolutely.
You're on my team.
Kasia, you're going to be on team Bree.
Hi, Kasia.
Go.
Welcome to the winner's circle.
Yeah.
All right, producer Anastasia runs the game.
Hello, Anastasia.
Hey.
Hello.
Who's going first today?
I think we started Bree last week,
so let's start off with Jenna and Clint.
Okay, Jenna, we're going to have to answer this together.
If you know it, just make sure you let me know that you know it, okay?
Don't hold back.
Okay.
Here we go.
Celebrity number one is Winona Ryder.
Oh.
Real. Real? 80s icon. I'm going to say Winona Ryder. Oh. Real.
Real?
80s icon.
I'm going to say real.
Real or with Jenna?
Winona Ryder, real name.
Unfortunately, that's a fake.
No, that's KZR.
No.
Here we go.
Here's our opportunity.
Her real name is Winona Laura Horowitz,
and she's not related to Anthony Horowitz or anything.
Yeah, right.
Jenna.
Yeah, do we get half a point for Winona?
You don't get anything.
Jenna, just try one next round, all right?
No, nothing.
Awesome.
Brian, Kasia.
Right, Kasia, you yell out if you know, okay?
Celebrity number two is Cate Blanchett.
I'm going to say that's real.
What do you think?
I think it is real.
Yeah, let's look in real name.
You literally can't get a question wrong.
Yep, that's correct.
Yes, KZ, we're on the board.
She's Australian, eh?
She is.
Cate Blanchett is an Aussie.
Yeah.
She's one of my favourite Aussie actresses of all time.
If you really fancy, you say Cate Blanchett.
Blanchett.
Yeah, did I say Blanchett?
Have you?
She's amazing in Benjamin Button.
Yes. She's so in Benjamin Button. Yes.
She's so good in it.
Yeah.
Okay, Jenna, this is us.
We need this.
Let's get back in the game with the correct answer.
I believe in you.
Let's do it.
All right.
Celebrity number three is Ellen DeGeneres.
Real name.
DeGeneres is not a stage name.
Real.
Yeah, I want to say that.
Yeah, real.
It's a number on the board, guys.
That's a real name.
Yes.
All right, Kasia. Here we. Yeah, real. It's a number on the board, guys. That's a real name. Yes! There we go.
Kasia, here we go.
Our turn.
All right.
Our celebrity number four is Nina Dobrev.
Who?
Nina Dobrev.
I have no idea who that is.
Let's say it's real.
Let's say it's...
Yep, I definitely know who that is.
I'm over it.
Yeah, let's lock it in, Kasia.
Vampire Diaries?
Nina Dobrev. Nina Dobrev.
Nina Dobrev.
You've joined the Burrell Hospital cast here.
I love how Clint and Jenna get Ellen DeGeneres.
Kasia, we get the toughest one ever.
Play the hands you doubt.
What are you saying?
Real.
I'm so sorry.
We'll go real.
She was like my uncle when I was growing up.
Come on, Kasia.
Unfortunately, that's not her real name.
How did we not know that, Kasia?
Her name is Mikalina Konstantinova.
Who cares?
Oh, my God.
I have no idea who that is.
It's not even close.
Okay, that's good.
It means we're going to tie break.
We're going to tie break.
We're going to tie break.
Thank you very much, Nina Dobarev.
I feel like we've been stitched up here, Kasia.
Oh, definitely.
Celebrity number five.
Now, what you guys need to do is call out your team name,
either Brie or Clint, if you know the answer,
and tell me if it's real or fake.
Celebrity number five is Rupert Grint.
Clint.
Okay.
Kasia, Rupert Grint from Harry Potter, real or fake?
I'm going to say it's real.
As if he would choose to name himself Rupert Grint.
That's a logic I'd go with too.
It's real.
You guys have won.
Yeah.
Oh, so he was a child.
Like he's not going to come up with Rupert.
Actually, a child might come up with Rupert Grint to be honest.
Sorry, Jenna.
KZ, you got 50 bucks.
KFC chicken dollars.
Well done.
Nice work, man.
Bree and Clint. ZM Brian Clint
I don't know if you know this about me, Clint
But I'm big on the Reddit community
Are you a Redderer?
No, I don't write anything
I just love going on there and seeing what's happening
Having a look, eh?
Yeah
It's too much pressure to post something on Reddit, eh?
Because it's such a cool community
You would get roasted.
Yeah, they're like, get out of here.
Go back to Instagram.
Like what's funny on Facebook would be so boring as batshit on Reddit.
I'm like you.
I'm a watcher.
Yeah, I just like to watch.
And one of the threads that I was following was someone asked a question,
what's something that's cute when you're a kid
but creepy when you're an adult?
Oh, yeah.
Give me an example.
An example, because I always try and think of ones when I see them
and then if I can think of something funny, I'll add to the thread.
Here's an example.
Cute as a kid, creepy as an adult, hiding in a clothing rack in a store. Yep.
Yep. If I saw an adult doing that, I would
freak out. Creepy AF.
Out. Yeah. Have you got any?
Yeah, I've been thinking about this.
Having a t-shirt on, but
no bottoms at all.
Yeah. So you've got a t-shirt on,
so you're not naked, but your bottom half. Agreed.
Very cute as a kid.
You're like, oh, no pants.
You're like Donald Duck.
As an adult, you're like, what the – what is wrong with you?
Someone arrest this person.
What about producers?
Do you guys have any – you want to add to this?
Running around the front yard naked.
Oh, yeah.
And also just one more, sitting on strangers' laps.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
I'll add to that one as well.
Cute as a kid, creepy as an adult, being breastfed by your mum.
Yep, I was going to say that.
Yep.
Being breastfed, period, you know?
Yep.
Ben, any of you want to chuck in there?
I mean, it's hard to do that.
But I was going to say, coming up and smiling and you have a whole mouth with no teeth.
Oh, that's a good one.
So cute.
Missing your two front teeth.
Cute as a kid.
As an adult.
No.
What happened to you?
No, no one wants that.
Tipping your whole dinner on your head?
Yeah.
Cute as a kid.
Cute.
I mean, annoying, but cute.
Go to Cobb & Co as an adult.
Tip a ravioli on your head. No. I've got another one. I've got but cute. Go to Cobb & Co as an adult, tip a ravioli on your head.
No.
I've got another one.
I've got one more.
Cute as a kid, creepy as an adult.
Bathing with your siblings or a friend when they come over.
Yep.
Can you imagine?
And the stager comes over for a drink.
Do you want to go have a bath before we go out?
Nothing weird, just have a bath.
Just have a bath together.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, weird.
Shotgun not getting the tap end.
Let's get on with Mind Blown Mondays.
Mind Blown Mondays is your chance to blow our mind with a coincidence,
a story that just shouldn't have happened, right?
It's just something that's too far-fetched.
You tell us, you might get a mind blown,
or you might get one of these There's no in between
It's one or the other
It's brutal
and we like to kick it off with
telling or bringing to the table
what we think could be a mind blowing story
You're going to tell the one this week
and I will tell you whether it blows my mind or not
You know what, I'm not even going to tell the one this week and I will tell you whether it blows my mind or not. You know what? I'm not even going to tell the
story this week. I found this story
online and she can tell
us the story. This is what I
found online for a
mind-blown Monday. So last year I was living
in Germany and I swiped right on Tinder on an
Australian who was just passing through the city that I lived
in. On the Friday night we met up
and ended up having a three-day date. It lasted
until the Monday. He left on the Monday and we both kind of made peace with the fact that we wouldn't see each
other again two weeks later i went up to berlin and we'd kind of just like been messaging roughly
um i told him i was in berlin he told me he was also in berlin he came to stay with me
for one night that night germany went into lockdown for coronavirus and i said to him like
listen it's only for a month you can come and and stay with me. Six months later, we are still together.
We lived together for the whole six months.
He moved to the UK to be with my parents.
And we also found out that we lived on the same street in Australia
at exactly the same time and had no idea.
Okay, it got me right at the end.
Before that, I was like, oh, cute.
Cute meet cute.
Yeah.
Whoa.
The part at the end is what I was like Oh cute Cute meet cute Yeah Whoa The part at the end
Is what I was focused on
So just to get that clear
She took a guy in
That she'd had
Two dates with
So she
For lockdown
Yeah
And they lived together
And then they ended up
In a six month relationship
And found out that they
Used to live on the same street
In Australia
At the same time
At the same time
And they didn't meet in Australia
No
They met in Germany
Randomly through Tinder Yeah Yeah Pretty In Australia at the same time. And they didn't meet in Australia. No. They met in Germany.
Randomly through Tinder.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty much.
It's got that twist in the end.
That's the part that gets me.
And sometimes that's all it takes to get you across the line.
And sometimes that's all a really good story is missing.
That really last point in the story where something just takes you in the other direction.
Do you want to try and blow our minds this afternoon? You will have heard it by now. You know it's not
easy, but know when you come on, we want you to be successful. We want
you to win. Yeah. Well, sometimes. Sometimes I like giving the fart.
Yeah, but deep down, you know, we're in your corner. You were dishing
them out last week. You've went soft. I had to step up and
give it the fart. Oh, there's friction.
But your story could either blow our minds or blow our butts.
Oh, 800 dials at him.
To Mind Blown Monday, where it's your challenge to blow our minds.
That's what you're going to hear if you do it.
It's not easy.
What you don't want to hear is you get the big fart.
Which means your story's not quite up to par.
Te Puke has the big kiwi fruit.
Our show has the big fart.
Fitting for our show, I think.
Not easy at all.
But before we go into it, just know that we love you,
we respect you, we care for you,
and Anonymous, we want you to win this afternoon.
Anonymous, this is saucy.
Something we haven't had.
Hi, how are you? You ready to blow our minds?
Yeah, I think so.
Alright, Anonymous. Bree and I must agree.
So when you're ready, go for it.
Okay. Alright, so
I gave you guys a call because
I think this is pretty mind-blowing.
My sister who lives in Wellington was, I don't know, looking for boys on Tinder.
And eventually she met a nice guy who was pretty far away in New Plymouth or Palmerston North.
I'm not sure which one it is.
Easy to do.
But yeah, so basically what happened was they met each other.
They started hanging out.
They really liked each other.
And then he moved to Wellington to be with her.
During this time, they realised that they actually grew up together
when they were kids, but they'd never met each other.
They were neighbours.
Right.
Wait, directly next door?
And up a hut.
Yeah, so it was her grandma's house, but she, like, pretty much lived there.
But it was his family home next door to her grandma's house.
So they would have, like, seen each other as kids and stuff
and never met each other.
And I just think that's crazy.
It's crazy.
It is.
It's wonderful.
But it's also New Zealand.
I know, I know, I know.
Now you're going to ask,
well, why did your TikTok story get through before,
but this one didn't?
We've got a New Zealand caveat,
where any stories from New Zealand,
New Zealand's too small. You know, it's just... Okay. But it's so good, but it one didn't. We've got a New Zealand caveat where any stories from New Zealand, New Zealand's too small.
You know, it's just...
But it's still an amazing story
and I'm interested, Anonymous.
Are they still together?
Yes, they are. He's just moved to
Wellington to be with her and they're together
and living together and stuff. Oh, that's lovely.
Okay, wonderful love story. Sorry that it didn't
blow our mind, Anonymous. Sorry it got the big far.
We appreciate you telling the story. Kyle's here to give it a go. Hi, Kyle. Hi, Kyle. Hi, g'day. Sorry that it didn't blow our mind anonymously. Sorry it got the big far, but we appreciate you telling the story.
Kyle's here to give it a go.
Hi, Kyle.
Hi, Kyle.
Hey, g'day.
You're actually our last one for today, so we really need you to come through.
We really want you to smash this out of the park and blow our mind, yeah?
Oh, jeez, no pressure, guys.
No pressure.
No, it's all the pressure, Kyle.
If you stuff this up, the segment gets deleted.
Yeah, we don't get paid today either.
Oh, I don't believe that last bit one bit.
You never paid anyone.
All right, Kyle, when you're ready, blow our minds.
All right.
What doesn't kill you will only make you strong.
Keep that in mind.
Okay.
My dad was caught in a murderous accident about five years ago.
So he was on his bike and he got T-boned.
It caused some major concussions and other serious injuries,
broken bones and whatnot.
Now, you'd think that would be the life-threatening incident here.
It wasn't.
When the doctors did a brain scan to check the concussion,
they discovered a benign brain aneurysm,
which would have killed him in about five months.
So had he not had that motorcycle accident, he would have died of a brain aneurysm. So a crash that almost killed him in about five months. So had he not had that motorcycle accident,
he would have died of a brain aneurysm.
So a crash that almost killed him wound up saving his life.
Whoa!
See, Kyle, I've got goosebumps over my whole body
after listening to that story.
No joke, Kyle.
That is amazing, for one.
They could turn it into a movie.
Channing Tatum could play your dad.
I can tell you've told that story a lot too
because you've got it down to a fine art.
You've got the lines.
I have it down to a fine art because I was there
and I had to respond to that.
Yeah, a motorcycle accident saved your dad's life.
Kyle, can I ask, how's your dad, how's pups doing now?
He has the
Eiffel Tower in his leg
from surgery.
He's walking,
he's a lot better than he was.
He's not allowed to ride motorbikes anymore
because of it, which is really depressing.
But he's a better man.
You know what, he didn't die from a brain aneurysm.
Exactly.
Kyle, you get to walk, man.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
And you guys get to get the show.
Yay!
Tell your dad we said hi.
Truly amazing.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.

Let's go to Sean.
Hi, Sean.
G'day, Sean.

I feel the exact same as you, Sean.
Oh, no, wait.
I'm still at work.
Bloody hell.
What's your birthday, Sean?
November 8th, 1991.
Right.
You were 16 in 2007 on the 8th of November.
In 2007, this had a number one hit.
Oh.
The Plain White Teas and Hey There Delilah.
Yeah.
Speaking of songs that got thrashed, eh?
That song got done to death.
Certainly did.
Yeah.
Not really a banger, eh, Sean?
No, no, it's a tune, but I don't know if I'd call it a banger.
At least you got a memorable one.
Like, everyone remembers that song.
Totally.
Totally.
It's not obscure.
Okay, wait there, Sean.
Let's go to Stevie.
Hi, Stevie.
Hi, Stevie.
Hi.
How was your weekend, mate?
Oh, yeah, it was full of muddy and messy kids.
Muddy and messy kids.
No.
That sounds like a nightmare, Stevie.
What's your birthday?
9th of March, 1992.
All right, you were 16 in 2008 on the 9th of March.
And on that day, this was number one.
Riri. Yeah, better was number one. Riri.
Yeah, better than Delilah.
I think you got it over Delilah, Stevie.
Tyrese from Fast and the Furious came out in the news today
and said for the last two Fast and the Furious movies,
he wants Rihanna cast as his girlfriend.
She'd be great on it.
She'd be good at it, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, wait there, Stevie.
That's a really good one.
One more birthday binger for Mahek.
Hi, Mahek.
Hi, Mahek.
Hi.
How was your weekend, Mahek?
Oh, I wish I could go back, eh?
Oh, me too sometimes.
Isn't it like that?
But not if my boss is listening.
Oh, I love it.
What's your birthday, Mahek?
28th of January, 93. All right. You were 16 in 2009ek? 28th of January, 93.
All right, you were 16 in 2009 on the 28th of January.
And, Mahek, here's your birthday banger.
Oh, call it Soft Rock Thursday, why don't you?
The fray.
I will eat the fray up any day of the week, any time.
Yes, Maheek.
Do you love it?
It's a belter.
Oh, yeah.
We got to do it.
We got to do it.
We love to support soft rock Thursdays, even not on a Thursday.
You got to play the fray.
Here we go.
Congrats, Maheek.
Enjoy.
Thank you. Brian Clinton, his birthday banger on a Thursday. You've got to play it. Here we go. Congrats, Mahek, enjoy. Thank you.
Brian Clint, his birthday banger on ZM.
ZM, Brian Clint, that's the fray and you found me.
That song.
Not Soft Rock Thursday, it's a birthday banger this afternoon.
It's a Monday.
That song probably used in every episode of
and only people from this era will get this,
One Tree Hill Ever.
Oh, yeah.
Also a couple of Grey's Anatomy episodes.
Oh, it's used in every single one.
No, Grey's Anatomy are more Snow Patrol.
I think the fray got a look in as well.
Did they?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
By the way, we're still campaigning towards this.
It isn't Zedian.
It's Soft Rock FM.
We'll get there one day.
We'll get there one day.
Hopefully.
Try and get it past Ross.
I think he's on board.
I think he's actually keen, or he says he is anyway.
Who's the best Soft Rock band ever?
Matchbox 20.
How is it for you?
That's hard.
I don't know if I could pick just one.
Is it or is it soft?
Because they're all quite different, you know?
Like they all have their own quirks about them.
Lifehouse is very good.
Lifehouse is awesome.
The fray.
Train is great.
I love Train.
I mean, I was a big
script fan as well
oh the script are good
yeah get them in there
the script are great
and you know what
the script have also
had longevity
they've been around
for a long time
what do you mean longevity
they're gone
no they're still around
aren't they
are they
yeah the main singers
on The Voice
you know that's when
their career's picking up
imagine they're going
really well
yeah when the singers on The Voice. You know that's when their career's picking up. Imagine they're going really well, yeah. Yeah, when the singer's on The Voice, yeah.
I was on my travels of finding some stuff to talk about
on the radio this afternoon and I came across this woman
who was mortified because her 14-year-old daughter
had borrowed her mum's phone and she was, I don't know what she was doing
on the phone, but I think she was, you know, looking up some stuff or whatever. And her
14 year old daughter stumbled upon her mum's nudes.
No.
No, no 14 year old needs to see their mum's nudes. No. The mum said that the nudes were just of her.
Solo nudes.
Just solo nudes.
I think you'd prefer that.
She said that they were recently taken.
Yeah, okay.
They were recently taken.
And she said, you know, she felt quite embarrassed and quite ashamed
that her 14-year-old daughter had to see them.
14's the wrong age to find them.
Like if your seven-year-old was leafing through your phone to go,
oh, mummy's naked, that's fine.
14's old enough to know that mum has taken some nudes, eh?
Yeah, you know what's going on.
Absolutely.
You'd rather just mum than mummy and dad though, wouldn't you?
Absolutely.
Yeah, good, just checking.
Well, from a girl's perspective,
like, to be honest. From anyone's perspective.
No. You'd rather find...
Wait, so you're saying you'd rather
see your mum in the nude than your dad? I'd rather
see just mum or just dad
than mum and dad. Okay, if you had to pick
though. Don't put me in this position.
No, you put yourself in this position.
If you had to pick,
whose nudes would you rather accidentally see?
Do you know who I know that I'm more likely to see?
I'm more likely to see Dad's because Dad would accidentally put his camera
into selfie mode just before he has a bath
and he's probably got nudes on there that he doesn't even know about.
So you're picking your dad then?
You'd rather see your dad in the Starkers?
I don't want to be mean to Mum.
Your Mum's going to feel bad.
She's going to go, what's wrong with me?
I'd rather see dad to save mum the embarrassment.
Yeah.
Yes.
I feel like I weaseled my way out of that one.
If you like to think so.
Anyway, it got me thinking about, you know,
times when you just didn't want to learn stuff about your mum or your dad or you didn't want
to see things you didn't want to you don't want to think of them as real people you know
no they they are your parents and needs they don't do anything in that realm they don't they don't
have those wants and needs they're just not they don't experiment with things no they don't go
to certain parties or take certain substances they're your parents you don't want to think about that sort of thing, right?
No. They don't have a life
outside of just being your parents.
I'm trying to think of a time if I ever
had that moment with my mum and dad.
I mean, I've never seen my mum's
nudes or my dad's
nudes. I don't know if they would have
ever taken any.
Not set up the tripod? Nah,
I can't picture them. What about something to put the camera
on? I mean, I think my mum's more likely
to take some nudes.
Because she's probably a bit more saucy.
Yeah, right. You know?
Got more time at home. I've not ended up in this
position with my parents either, but I know people
out there. What about like in terms of
hearing things you didn't want to hear?
Nah, I left home too early. I had to sleep out.
As a teenager, I had to sleep out.
Yeah, but were you traumatised in the house
and that's why they put you in the sleep out?
You know what?
Maybe subconsciously, you know?
We want to know from you guys this afternoon,
what did you find out about your parents
or what did you see or what did you learn or hear
that you really didn't want to?
You could have gone your whole life
without knowing this certain thing about your parents.
How did your parents really mess you up?
By seeing, hearing or finding out about something about them?
Yeah, by revealing their true selves.
You can call us on 0800DIALS at M or text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
Opened up a can of worms in here.
Pandora's box.
I'm having the biggest laugh.
The texts on this are hilarious.
We're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
what did you find out slash see slash hear about your parents
that you really didn't want to?
You could have gone your whole life without knowing
the certain information and now it has burned into your eyeballs,
ear holes or mind.
You can't escape it.
So let's talk to some people.
Justin's called up.
Hi, Justin.
Hi, Justin.
Hey, how you doing?
Good, thanks, Justin.
What happened?
Tell us.
One of my earliest memories from when I was like six years old,
my parents had like the family around.
And my favorite movie was in the video in the VCR.
And my mum was just like, oh, just go watch a movie while we all do our thing.
And so I pressed play and they had accidentally left a pretty explicit movie in the VCR the night before.
No!
And so the whole family just heard what I remember as being a very German explicit movie.
Bratwurst.
Get to the bratwurst.
Oh, Justin.
How old were you?
Did you say Justin?
I was six.
It's legitimately one of my earliest memories.
You wouldn't have known what was going on.
Oh, no, that's not good.
But because it's burnt into your mind, you've been able to bring it up with your parents every Christmas.
I like that.
Justin, you poor thing.
Get a TV in the room, Mum and Dad.
That's the problem with the 90s, eh?
There was often only one TV in the house, in the VCR.
So if you wanted to watch something like that,
you had to do it in the family room.
I mean, if you're putting that video in, you take it out.
Like, that's one thing you don't forget.
Rosie's here.
Hi, Rosie.
Hi, Rosie. Oh, hang on, actually. Rosie's over here. We'll come back to that. No, where's one thing you don't forget. Rosie's here. Hi, Rosie. Hi, Rosie.
Oh, hang on.
Actually, Rosie's over here.
We'll come back to that.
No, where's Rosie?
Rosie's over here.
Hi, Rosie.
Hi, Rosie.
Hi.
How's it going?
Tell us, Rosie, what traumatised you as a kid that you found out about your parents?
I walked into my parents' room when I was about 15 as my mum was helping my dad apply
his hemorrhoid cream.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah. Oh. as my mum was helping my dad apply his hemorrhoid cream.
I now knock and get confirmation I can walk in now.
So, wait, you got brown-eyed by your dad?
Yes, unfortunately, yes.
Oh, poor dad.
Actually, no, I take that back.
Poor mum, you know?
Poor mum.
Poor mum.
Yeah, well, poor mum. Poor everyone.
She was, yeah, poor. I mean, no one's
winning in that situation, are they?
Last person wants to remain anonymous. That's
okay. Maybe they're still not over it.
Anonymous, what did you learn about your parents?
So when I was about 14, 15,
mum and my, her so-called
partner at the time, they kind of,
they'd disappear every night off into the garage
and I'm like, okay, what's that?
They hinted and I kind of started to pick up a few things and then I think about, I
got real game and I'm like, I want to know, I want to know what's going on here.
Oh no you don't.
They walked into this room and it's just that it was a little bit Fifty Shades of Grey.
In the garage?
What?
Yeah, they like did a whole room up and it was like Fifty Shades of Grey, like it was
a whole like back room.
It's now a sleep out, but...
Anonymous, please.
I'm not using the sleep out. Anonymous, please
tell me there wasn't a swing.
No,
not a swing per se, but there were
definitely some things I wouldn't exactly
think would be pleasant.
Right. Okay.
Hey, Anonymous, does this make you feel better?
Someone on the text machine said, I found my mother's massive toy under the living room
couch wrapped in a towel.
I hit her up about it and she said to me, don't tell your father.
What's wrong with that?
Yeah, definitely I can't look at my parents the same after finding that out,
but it is what it is.
You know what?
Much like that massive toy, let's grab a towel and wrap this segment up,
shall we?
I think that's enough.
I feel like we're done here.
Yeah, we're done.
Bree and Clint.
I saw this on TikTok and it made me think,
because I remember we used to discuss this exact same thing in school.
And it was the theory of that your birthmark is related to how you died in a previous life.
Freaky.
Which is obviously the idea of reincarnation.
Yeah.
And that we've walked on this planet before.
And your birthmark tells the story of your previous life or death.
Yeah.
Which, do you remember ever talking
about that in high school um no because i went to a catholic high school and we weren't allowed
to believe in reincarnation oh but don't lie people did um anyway there's this we're allowed
to believe in reincarnation or contraception no comment they were both they were both outlawed
it's awkward isn't it?
There's a guy that's talking about it.
I've got the audio of him here discussing the theory. it's actually a sign of how you died in your past life. First of all, if you have no birthmarks on you, that means that you probably died a natural death.
If you have a brown birthmark somewhere on you,
that's supposed to signify a wound that led to your death.
Now, if you have a red birthmark somewhere,
that supposedly means that you burned to death in your past life.
Now, some people actually have birthmarks or marks in their eyes,
and that actually signifies that they died in their sleep.
If you have a birthmark with a patch of light skin around it,
it means that someone threw a poisonous dart at you, and it killed you.
And if you have a birthmark around your private areas,
that means that you died doing the nasty.
How specific is the poison dart one?
I know.
How many people are dying from poison dart?
Have you got any birthmarks?
No, none.
You don't have any birthmarks.
Does that mean that I'm not reincarnated?
Am I a virgin soul?
Am I a first timer?
No, no.
You weren't even listening.
He said if you don't have any
birthmarks, it means you died of natural
causes. Oh. Have you got
a birthmark? No, no birthmark for me. What about
producers? Ben? Producers?
Have you got any birthmarks on your body? Yeah, I've got quite
a big, like a dark brown
birthmark. Like, oh, and a
thigh. No, Ben, that's your butthole.
Oh.
What does that one mean?
No, you don't want to know.
He died on the toilet.
