Starting point is 00:08:15 No. Like you can tell us and it doesn't matter how many times you tell us, I still don't know what you do. I was having a beer with some guys the other week and there was someone in the group that I didn't know. I said, oh, what do you do for work, mate? And he goes, oh, I'm project manager. I was like, huh?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Oh, yeah. I think that just means they manage people. Does it? No. But. I don't know. I don't know. And I was like.
Starting point is 00:08:38 We don't have real jobs. We don't know. No, I know. And I'm sure there's project managers out there right now going, really, you don't know what we do? But then I also believe there's project managers. there right now going, really, you don't know what we do? But then I also believe there's project managers. Is a project manager kind of like a producer? You know, like they're running the show.
Starting point is 00:08:53 You know, they're in charge. They're kind of the leader. And delegating. They're delegating jobs. So if there's a bridge being built, the bridge is the project and you're managing the bridge. Yeah, so you're managing Yeah, that project. You're managing the bridge. Yeah, so you're managing this team and you're organising the concreters
Starting point is 00:09:09 and the engineers and I don't know. Why didn't he just say he was a bridge builder then? Yeah, I mean it makes more sense. Cut to the chase. But this guy is a generational trends expert, which essentially they look at different generations, so the boomers,
Starting point is 00:09:26 Gen X, us, the millennials, Gen Z, and they look at different behaviours and trends. Gen Alpha. Gen Alpha, the new one. Anyway, there's this article talking about how he's looked into who he believes
Starting point is 00:09:41 are the best generation for pet owners. Like, who are the best generation for pet owners. Like who are the best pet owners according to the generations? Best by who? Best by the pet or best by, you know? Oh, it's a great question. Yeah. According to this generational trends expert,
Starting point is 00:09:58 get the drum roll ready, the best generation when it comes to pet owners, the Baby boomers. Really? The baby boomers he says tend to be more traditional pet owners and not baby them as much as their younger counterpart.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Oh, tough love. Yeah. So he's saying they treat them more like a pet and not like a baby. Yeah. I've never seen a generation more ready to euthanise an animal than the baby boomers. You know, they're like, what? The cat needs an operation. It's going to cost $350.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Oh, well, it had a good run. What? Only $350? They're putting it down for that? The boomers can. The boomers can because that's how they were raised. They're like, it's an animal. It is not a person.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Whereas people like us are too far the other way. Yeah. We are too much. Our generation is the first generation that went, that's not a pet. That's a family member. Yeah. They go on to say that millennials spend more on their pets than most other generations. Yeah. more on their pets than most other generations. And he also reckons that
Starting point is 00:11:06 people are not just treating their pets as pets, they're treating them as their human babies. We had a dog trainer over today to help us with the new dog. There you go. Millennial behaviour. Exactly. And we said to, because she was like, you need to
Starting point is 00:11:22 make sure the dog has this and you discipline him to do this. And we said, do you think that we're being too mean to him though? And she said to, because she was like, you need to make sure the dog has this and you discipline him to do this. And we said, do you think that we're being too mean to him though? And she said, stop putting the dog in a human lens. You know, it's a dog. Talk to it like a dog. Yeah, but you also have a pet trainer over there paying them however much an hour. It's such millennial behavior, you know.
Starting point is 00:11:48 He said that Gen Z, do you want to know what the Gen Z, in his opinion, are like when it comes to having pets? Well, they're all vegan, aren't they? They're not allowed pets. Says the youngest pet owners are redefining pet ownership by emphasising emotional support and mental health benefits when it comes to animals. Right, okay. So they're like. So they've got their emotional support and mental health benefits when it comes to animals. Right. Okay. So they're like.
Starting point is 00:12:06 So they've got their emotional support water bottle and their emotional support Labrador. Yeah. Okay. Exactly. But anyway, he says the baby boomers are the best. I don't mean to be insensitive, but they need a lot of emotional support, don't they? Gen Z. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Like. I mean. They need a lot of emotion. Look at Ella. Oh, see, now we've offended her. Now we've offended her. You haven't offended me, but claim your point. What do you mean? No, just They need a lot of emotion. Look at Ella. Oh, see, now we've offended her. Now we've offended her. You haven't offended me, but claim your point. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:12:28 No, just there's a lot of emotional support going on. Nah, I just think we're boundaries. Okay. You know what? I kind of, I want to jump over to Gen Z, because I feel like we're all messed up, and it's because we don't have enough emotional support. You want some more emotional support?
Starting point is 00:12:40 And we just push it down, push it down. You know why? Because I don't have. Because you don't have a drink bottle. No, shut up. You don't have an emotional support. And we just push it down. You know why? Because I don't have. Because you don't have a drink bottle. No, shut up. You don't have an emotional support water bottle. I've got two dogs and it didn't help. No, it did help.
Starting point is 00:12:53 What's wrong with emotion? We want to ask this afternoon, save your emotions for when the songs are playing. We want to ask, what's the OTT pet behaviour that you've observed? Yeah. It doesn't matter what generation you're from. Do you just have really over-the-top behaviour when it comes to looking after your animals? Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Or would you like to dob somebody in? Are your parents way too over-the-top with the cat or dog now that you have moved out? I have an uncle who used to feed both of his cats at the dinner table. Taylor Swift does. While they ate. Taylor Swift feeds her cats at the dinner table. And I would consider that OTT pet behaviour.
Starting point is 00:13:29 That is OTT. That's OTT pet behaviour. 100%. I was feeding my dog a full raw diet amongst other things, which is, that's gone away because I've got two dogs now. It's too expensive. It's called going raw dog. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:43 That was the name of the dog food. Do you eat it as well oh a hundred dollars at him or text to nine six nine six the ott pet behavior line is open what is the ott pet behavior we're discussing which generation according to a generational trends expert is the best when it comes to owning animals. And he says that baby boomers, because they treat them as animals and they're not too over the top. Yeah. Which is, which is arguable. Which I think is wrong.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah. That's best. Like what is best? Dogs sleeping in my bed is best. I guess boomers have better boundaries. You know, when it comes to... Me leaving the TV on when I'm away so the dogs don't get bored.
Starting point is 00:14:33 So we're opening the OTT Pet Behaviour Hotline so you can dob yourself or somebody else you know in for over-the-top pet behaviour. And Lisa's called up. Hi, Lisa. Hi, Lisa. Hi, how are you? Good, thank you. Tell us, what's the OTT pet behaviour, mate? Well, my father's a boomer.
Starting point is 00:14:51 He's in his early 80s. He makes his partner ride in the back seat while the dog rides in the front. Wait, Lisa, are you saying he makes his partner ride in the back seat so the dog can be in the front? Wow. Oh, no. Well, let's get some...
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah. Yeah, he also, he leaves the underfloor heating on to keep the dog... That's so expensive. Well, boomers can because they're mortgage-free, but yeah, you know. Let's get some details, though. How long has he had the dog and how long has he had the partner? The dog for a shorter time than the partner. Yeah, nah.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Imagine the day he told the partner, sorry, you've been relegated to the back seat. Yeah, you've been in the back seat now. Rusty's going in the front seat. Oh, that is OTT. I love it. Thanks, Lise. That goes against the research, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:15:40 Mike's here. G'day, Mike. Hi, Mike. Hey, good afternoon. Is it you that has the OTT pet behaviour, mate? Not quite. So we've got three cats, which is too, too many if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And my partner insists that we should be putting them on leashes and taking them for walks. Oh my God, cats hate that, Mike. Cats hate it. Cats don't want to do that. I absolutely refuse. It is absolutely not happening on my God. Cats hate that, Mike. Cats hate it. Cats don't want to do that. I absolutely refuse. It is absolutely not happening on my walk.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Oh, come on, Mike. You don't want to take him down to the park and give him a little bloody hoon around the park? We've already got holes in the walls and furniture bloody nailed into the walls. If you're named Mike, Mike, if people on your street see you out with cats on leashes, you will forever be the cats on leashes guy, you know? Yeah. I will absolutely not in my house. No.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Mike's like, I will die on this hill before I put my cat on a leash. Hey, Mike, you'll love this. One time I was on Ponsonby Road in Auckland and legit saw this guy who was at a cafe sitting there, cat on his lap and it was in a full harness and the cat was drinking a Fluffy. I just think cats, I just think like, with
Starting point is 00:16:55 dogs, they're a man's best friend, right? Dogs are lovely, but cats, they just love their environment, you know? Cats, they just want to be fed. Cat doesn't want to be your best friend. No, no. That's people who want a dog but don't want the effort of a dog, so they try and make their cat do dog things.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Mike, kia kaha. Yeah, appreciate that, Mike. Stay strong. We appreciate it. Remember that time I told you about the dog I met in the supermarket that was in the trolley and it had braces? No.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And I asked the owner, I said, does your dog have braces? And she was like, yeah, its teeth were crooked. And I was like, what, does it had braces? No. And I asked the owner, I said did your dog have braces? And she was like, yeah, its teeth were crooked. And I was like, what, does it need braces? And she was like, oh, not really, but I thought you know, may as well spend the money. And I just looked at this woman and was like you can't be serious. Yeah, I'm going to get my dog Invisalign. That's what it was.
Starting point is 00:17:40 It was Invisalign for dogs. Last one's Ange. Hi Ange. Hi Ange. Hi, how's it going? We're good. Who are you dobbing in on the OTT pet hotline? My mother. She's a boomer. She's a boomer.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Okay. Yeah, she's a little wee dog. Her dog apparently doesn't like normal dog food, so she makes her eggs, scrambled eggs for breakfast. You're kidding. And mints and veggies for dinner. And she also throws the dog birthday parties where she gets an ice cream cone,
Starting point is 00:18:10 fills it out with treats, makes some sticky thing and then sticks things on the outside of a cone and puts a wine biscuit at the bottom so it looks like a clown hat. And then do you get invited to these birthday parties and have to show up and pretend like you want to be celebrating the dog's birthday as well, Ange?
Starting point is 00:18:25 Yep. I have to take my dog as a guest and my dog also gets a clown cone. I'm not going to lie, Ange. I'm not going to lie. As you're talking about this, I'm like, oh, I hope my two dogs get invited. That sounds like a bit of fun, actually. Bree and Clint. Big award show went down last night.

Starting point is 00:19:58 Yeah. Let them have their night. And there was a couple of people that are making news websites today after they posted about not being invited to the event. And they're a bit stink over it. They're like, I think I deserve to be at this event. TikTok, I've been growing my following. And why didn't I get invited?
Starting point is 00:20:19 Why am I not considered to be a great TikToker? Yeah, one of the people who aired their frustration was a girl by the name of Ellie Peach, who is a nurse and she's got over 130,000 followers on TikTok and she said this. I was not invited to the TikTok awards, which honestly I am upset about. I genuinely am upset about.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Last year I thought maybe it's because I was still like gaining traction. But now like I've got a decent amount of followers. I get really good engagement. I've worked hard and I've always been genuine and spoken like up for nurses like for all of Australia. Alas, was not invited.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Oh, you can hear it in her voice. She's pissed, eh? She's hurt. Yeah, she's not happy. What do you think the cutoff is? Like what's the cutoff of like follower amount to get invited? Yeah, good point. Is it follower amount? Is it a certain number of people from each niche?
Starting point is 00:21:18 Like you've got to have some dancing ones, some comedy ones, some singing ones. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You really put yourself out there, though, when you say that you think. I didn't get invited and I'm pissed about it because I think I deserve to be invited. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Yeah, like I. So Dane Rumble going on TikTok and going, I can't believe I didn't win a New Zealand Music Award. Did he do that? No, he didn't. But it's the equivalent of that, isn't it? Well, yeah. He would never. Also, he won a New Zealand Music Award. But, do that? No, he didn't. But it's the equivalent of that, isn't it? Well, yeah. He would never.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Also, he won a New Zealand Music Award. But, you know, bad example. I was going to say. Ben Lummis. It would be like Ben Lummis not getting invited to the New Zealand Music Awards. Yeah. Which, I mean, I kind of do get that.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, in Ben Lummis' day. Look, look, yeah. You know, in Ben Lomis' day. Look, look, look. It's not up to us to decide whether these people deserve to be there or not. Everybody can relate to the feeling of not being invited to something. It does suck. Yes. Especially when you thought you were going to get invited.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Like, let's strip back all the TikTok crap and all the influencer BS and let's bring it back down to we all can relate to a feeling when you think you're going to get an invite to something. Yep. And you don't. The ones that really hurt are birthday parties and weddings. Yeah, birthday parties and weddings really hurt. I feel like a wedding hurts more than a birthday.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Oh. Yeah, right. It probably depends who it is. Weddings are very formal and very considered. Like the invite list has been poured over. Yeah. Yeah, right? It probably depends who it is. Wedding's very formal and very considered. The invite list has been poured over. And if all your friends are invited and you're not invited, there was definitely a decision made where they went,
Starting point is 00:22:56 she's not quite enough for this list. Yeah. Yeah. Which, it hurts. Oh, yeah. I thought we could throw it out there because we've all felt this feeling where you weren't invited to something and frankly, you're a bit stink over it. What event
Starting point is 00:23:08 did you not get invited to that you feel like you should have got an invite to? You're still upset about it. Oh, 800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And why do you think you should have got invited to it? Yeah. Like, was it your brother's wedding? I'm sure, yeah. Well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:23:21 you should be getting invited. Was it your best friend's birthday party? Then you should be there. Was it your best friend's birthday party? Then you should be there. Was it your mum's wedding? Wake. Wake. Should be invited to your mum's wake.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Brie and Clint. Is it in Brie and Clint? That's Sam Fender. It's called People Watching. If anyone can help Brie nail what that song sounds like, it's driving her mental. God, it sounds like another song, and it's been driving me nuts.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Every time I hear it, it's like right on the tip of my tongue. People say, not that song specifically, but people say that Sam Fender has big Bruce Springsteen vibes. Yeah, because you said this to me yesterday, and then I went and did my research, and I couldn't find the song. Oh, it sounds like a song. In the hair, in the hair.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Oh, anyway. We're talking about the thing you didn't get invited to. Last night was the TikTok Awards, and there are at least a couple of TikTokers who have been vocal about the fact that they believe they should have been invited. They should have been at the TikTok Awards. This is a person from Australia who's a nurse who makes content
Starting point is 00:24:27 who said she doesn't understand why she wasn't there. I was not invited to the TikTok Awards, which honestly I am upset about. I genuinely am upset about. Last year I thought maybe it's because I was still like gaining traction. But now like I've got a decent amount of followers. I get really good engagement i've worked hard and i've always been genuine and spoken like up for nurses like for all of australia
Starting point is 00:24:51 alas was not invited she's cut you can tell she's cut honestly though is that what you're really working towards to be invited to the awards i'm sure it'd be great but it's hard to do get invited but it's hard to realize that in the moment though we see everybody else going to the TikTok awards. I'm sure it'd be great if you do get invited. It's hard to realise that in the moment though. You see everybody else going to the thing and you're not going to the thing. Also I imagine if she saw people who, I don't know, if she thought she was more famous than them and they were invited, she was
Starting point is 00:25:16 like, why is such and such there and I'm not? You know? Yeah. That'd be a real feeling.

God, everyone's going anonymous on this. What weren't you invited to? Let's talk to another anonymous caller Hello anonymous Hi anonymous Hi God everyone's going anonymous on this
Starting point is 00:26:46 What weren't you invited to? My cousin's wedding Why not? We weren't really sure We only knew about it because my dad had got invited And then after we saw wedding photos We found out that My brother and I were the only ones from our cousins not invited. Oh, okay, so cousins were invited.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Because I was going to say, all the other cousins got invited except for you. Because if they did it, I'd be like, okay, well, they're just not inviting cousins. They're not doing cousins. They're cutting numbers. But you guys were the only ones. Are you guys trouble at a wedding, Anonymous? No. Have you got a history of causing a scene?
Starting point is 00:27:28 No. We're the quiet ones. What the hell? Have you hooked up with your partner's new partner before? No. No. Have you ever hooked up with your cousin? Another Anonymous caller.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. Tell us, what was the thing you feel like you should have been invited to? It was one of my best friends weddings. Your best friends? And we've been friends for quite a while
Starting point is 00:27:54 and yeah, she said she forgot to invite me. She forgot to invite you? When did she say this? Did you hit her up before the wedding and go, hey, how come I'm not invited? Or was this afterwards? I hit her up about it because all my friends were invited. So I just expressed that I was a bit upset about it.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And she said, yeah, she just forgot. What the hell? What do you mean she just forgot? Yeah. And she still didn't invite me. But the wedding has since been called off. Oh, calm as a bee. Calm as a bee. That's right. You didn't book accommodation. invite me, but the wedding has since been called off. So, bit of karma? Karma's a bit.
Starting point is 00:28:28 That's right, you didn't book accommodation, you didn't buy an outfit, you're winning, Anonymous. Yeah, I saved a bit of money. Anonymous, you're better off. Now you know who your real friends are. My husband and I didn't get invited to his mum's wedding because he wouldn't do a joint wedding with them.
Starting point is 00:28:44 They came to our wedding and wore their wedding outfits to our wedding so they could still get the photos that they wanted. Honestly, grow up. Like, what is wrong with people? Your husband's mum dressed as a bride to come to your wedding.
Starting point is 00:29:00 You must really love that man because that's a hell of a family to be marrying into. Yeah, I'd be fuming about that. That's some BS right there. How do you swallow that and go, yep, great to see you too. I'm sure she looked better, so it does help when you're like, well, I look ten times better. Someone else texted her and said, I didn't get invited to my brother's wedding.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Mum and dad got invited to the Gold Coast and I'm his only sibling. Are you serious? I wasn't invited to my sister's 21st and it was at my house. What? Someone else said, I wasn't invited to my close friend's chemo appointment.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I offered to take her many times to support her. Then she would invite other people that she would talk smack about. That's a bit of a kick in the guts, isn't it? What's going on there? Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic. Not really. But picking a movie title based on just the plot line, that she can do.

You're the main attraction now. How does it feel?
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yeah, thanks. I'm happy to be here. You've brought your producer Slash lover In studio with you Yeah he's the one In the corner Just eating a sausage roll Yeah yeah

Starting point is 00:34:20 I didn't know I was going to be on here She stitched me up I have sausage rolls Well I'm just helping you To become relevant again. So every opportunity we get, we're on. You guys have such good banter on the talk.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I've seen it. You guys just sling stuff back and forth at each other the whole time. I'm glad you guys enjoy it. I'm crying most of the time. I was going to say. Ella, tell us about your new music. Yeah, so this year I really wanted to step into my artistry and maybe with a bit of a push or a shove from someone in the room.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Yeah, it's kind of just about me kind of taking back my freedom and releasing music as myself and hopefully and eventually like booking shows as Ella Monnery because like I've been around, I've been singing for everyone. I'm on so many songs. I sing for so many different people and acts and shows. So it's like I feel like it's time for me to do that. You're right.
Starting point is 00:35:07 You're very good at singing other people's songs. And very well known for that now. So it must be a bit scary to step out there and go, hey, this is one of my own ones. Yeah, it is. It is scary. It's overwhelming. But it's like super exciting. And like, yeah, the thought of like,
Starting point is 00:35:18 hopefully it'll take off. And here we are, full steam ahead. Let's go. If that's not a partner. She says with nervousness in her voice. Crying. Full steam ahead. Let's go. If that's not a partner. She says with nervousness in her voice. Crying. Full steam ahead, let's go. We've got to do it now.
Starting point is 00:35:29 We are definitely doing this. I'm so happy to be here. You are, like we said, good at singing other people's songs. Brie and I are bad at singing other people's songs, and yet we do it every single week. We have a segment called Friday Okie on this show. Perfect. Where we attempt to sing songs.
Starting point is 00:35:43 This week, we thought we'd take on the real easy challenge of singing Defying Gravity from Wicked. So if you care to find me Until the western sky Come on, Bree. Oh, you wait. It's honestly, I think they're going to take us off the air. Once these play out, it's so bad.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I thought you were going to say they might offer you a record deal. God, no. Five o'clock this Friday, we're going to release our Defying Gravities. We thought while you were here, would you like to have a chance at doing the battle cry at the end of the song? As someone who can actually sing. Yes. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:36:19 She knows a bit. We thought, because obviously with the movie coming out, Cynthia Erivo has done a different battle cry to... Yeah. Idina Menzel. Idina Menzel. And we thought we could get you to do one of each. Oh, perfect.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Really put you through your paces. Is there anything else you would like me to do? Seriously. Well, I mean, while you're here... Let's start with the original. Yes. Okay, this is the Idina Menzel battle cry in Defying Gravity. Am I just raw dogging this? Just raw dogging it.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then of course there's Cynthia Erivo's. She's standing up. She's standing up. I might stand for this one. I'll just stand back. I've got goosies. I've got goosies everywhere. That night just got me.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Burst of blood vessel and have a hernia. Honestly, if that doesn't make you want to come see Ella Monterisha, I don't know what will. Bree and Clint. Speaking of voices, we were having a conversation today about when you change your voice and the situations in which you change your voice. Can I just say I regret telling you guys this?
Starting point is 00:37:43 Yeah. I actually regret it because now I feel embarrassed. Yeah. But I can relate. Yeah. I can relate. I feel like it happens to a lot of people. I'm watching a show on Netflix at the moment.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I said to you guys, I was like, does this ever happen to you guys? I'm watching a show on Netflix at the moment called Rhythm and Flow. It's a rap show, eh? Yeah. It's kind of like New Zealand Idol, but instead they're finding the next big rap star. I'm looking for the full package.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I want somebody that can survive in this new generation. I want to discover something special. We're inviting everybody to come to Atlanta, the mecca of hip hop. This competition is a reckoning for myself to see how far I can go. My whole life, I've been doubted. I know I have what it takes. I want to see who has everything to be the next superstar. I like it.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Okay? I like watching the show. It's interesting. Yeah, I think you like it a bit too much. It's hosted by Ludacris or... Luna! And Lardo. And they have they have big rap names on it like Eminem and someone else. I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Anyway, I said to you guys, whenever I've been watching it like back-to-back episodes in a row, I don't know what it is but I start talking the way the people on the show talk. You get rap voice. I get rap voice. Like my partner got home the other night and I was like, what's up, G? And she was like, are you all right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:20 What's wrong with you? Yeah. And I can't help it. I was like, I think I've watched too much of that show. I can relate because I am a bit of a chameleon in those situations too. My wife has pointed out whenever we have builders or trades people around that I start using like a real blokey voice. And I don't notice that I'm doing it.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Yeah, go give us the blokey voice. She reckons that if I – because we've got a builder who's putting up a gated out place at the moment and she reckons when he was over the other day, I was like, yeah, bloody nice truck. Jeez. Bit of room in there. Yeah, she's bloody nice.
Starting point is 00:39:59 And she's like, you don't talk like that. I was like, I know. I know, but when I'm around tradies, I don't know. I just. I do the same thing. Yeah, yeah. And I do the same thing when I go home. I sort of speak.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Yeah. I don't know. Bit bogan. Bit bogan. Yes. Bit more bro. A bit like. The same when I go back to Stanthorpe.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Yeah, yeah. Australia. As soon as I'm around my parents, I just start talking really bogan Australian. It just happens, eh? It just happens. Yeah. Whenever I'm around like a lot of, you know, laddy type of guys, this is what I'll do.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I can't help it. I'm not putting it on. It's just how it ends up being. I'll be like, oh, sup, lads? Sup, lads? How are we? How are we? We going well?
Starting point is 00:40:43 We going well? Oh, guys. Nah, serious Sup, lads? How are we? How are we? We going well? We going well? Oh, guys. Nah, serious. The game on the weekend. Oh, what an absolute pearler. I've seen you do it. I've seen you do it. You would have seen me.
Starting point is 00:40:54 And you know what you also do is whenever there is someone on the show who's a farmer, you change. Claudia knows it. You change. You do. And straight away, you'll go from Bree, the Bree that we know and love, you'll go straight to, what type of cattle are you running out there, fella? You got a few speckled park up there in the back paddock?
Starting point is 00:41:14 Yeah, my old man's running 50-odd head of cattle at the moment. Yeah, how many heads you got? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty decent, eh? How many acres? Oh, yeah, true, yeah. Someone's texted and they said, I'm a tradie and I speak differently at work than I do at home. I think we all do. Yeah, that's pretty decent, eh? How many acres? Oh, yeah, sure, yeah. Someone's texted and they said, I'm a tradie and I speak differently at work than I do at home.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I think we all do. Yeah, right, okay. Yeah, I can see that. Guys have it when they're around their friends, definitely. When they're around their guy friends, they'll have different ways that they speak. Do girls, like when you're around your girlfriends, do you speak differently than you do around your workmates and partners?
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yes. Do you? I think so. Can you girls differently than you do around your workmates and partners? Yes. Do you? I think so. Can you girls speak how you guys speak when I'm not here? Just pretend I'm not here. Okay, you ready? Ready, girl? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Oh, my God, guys. Is Clint just so annoying today? He's so annoying today. I'm so glad you brought it up. Is it just me? No, it's not just me. I just think, you know, sometimes it's just such a punishment. There's something going on today which is just neck level.
Starting point is 00:42:05 He's kind of got zaddy energy though, eh? Sorry? He's kind of got like a hot thing, like a... There's a little bit of something about him, eh? Are you an 80-year-old woman? No, it's only one of the girls. I read this post today from someone
Starting point is 00:42:25 who has bucked the trend within their family and broken a family trend when it comes to naming babies. Like passing down a name. Kind of. Passing down a type of name. Have a listen to this.
Starting point is 00:42:39 My wife gave birth to our son two weeks ago. My family on my mum's side has the tradition of naming the child months of the year. They've done it for five generations. Oh, no. My name is December.
Starting point is 00:42:54 I've shortened it to Dec, hoping people will think that it's short for Declan. Wait, Dec is better than December? Well, they hope people think it's Declan. D-E-C, Declan. Duck, duck, Dec. They said, I hope they'll think it's Declan. D-E-C. Declan. Duck, duck, dick. They said, I hope they'll think it's Declan or something normal.
Starting point is 00:43:10 My brothers are called August. August is alright. Which can pass for Augie. Yep. And July. Poor guy. July's not good. Nothing you can do about that one. July's not good. My sisters are called April, June and May. So not too bad. Oh, they got away pretty easy.
Starting point is 00:43:26 A girl called April is fine, a girl called June is fine, a girl called May is fine. That's all good. Imagine if you got January. Well, you would. It's been going for five generations. What's the worst one? September.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Oh, September. My wife and I called our son Tobias. We kept the name a secret until after he was born and we had signed the birth certificate so it could not be changed. When we told my parents a week ago
Starting point is 00:43:58 they were most certainly not happy. Why? Why do people get so attached to these weird things? Even though my dad has the nice normal name of Alex, he liked the tradition. My sister June Well that's good for Alex, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:44:14 Who has a normal name. My sister June named her daughter March to keep the tradition going. Oh no she's going to be so annoyed. She's like I named my kid March. Well no, I named my kid March. Well, no, the sister's into it. The sister is into it.
Starting point is 00:44:28 And because she did it, my parents expected me to do the same. My mum continually said that we should call the baby September for a girl and October for a boy right throughout the pregnancy. I never outright said I wasn't going to because I know what lengths they would go to to make sure my baby would have a month as a name. My brothers were on board when we told them, understanding growing up with teasing of their names. My parents left after saying we were disrespecting my heritage by not following the tradition. Oh, the big guns. I told
Starting point is 00:45:06 them I wasn't going to name my child a ridiculous name because some old, long dead, crazy man decided months of the year would be good names and just because my mum was stupid enough to join him in his madness did
Starting point is 00:45:22 not mean that I had to do it too. Fair enough. I say fair enough. You take a stand. My parents and sisters think that I've been brainwashed by my partner into calling him something normal, even though I have never made it a secret that I hate my name December. They stormed out and they haven't spoken to me since.
Starting point is 00:45:44 What a ridiculous fight. What a ridiculous fight. What a ridiculous tradition. Who cares? Honestly. The only person who doesn't have a freaking leg to stand on here is Alex. Yeah, shut up, Alex. Shut up, Alex. Okay?
Starting point is 00:45:59 Oh, I quite like the tradition. Why didn't you give your baby a month's name? Oh, that's good, Alex. Bloody idiots. What month is Alex? You talk well, that's good, Alex. Bloody idiots. What month is Alex? You talk to me in the month of Alex, Alex. Yeah. Until then, butt out.
Starting point is 00:46:11 You don't know what we've been through. Can you imagine? And it would just be you'd be known as the family that have all the weird month names. They want to start a new tradition. When you start your family, you get to start your own traditions. That's a big part of it too. 100%.
Starting point is 00:46:26 What would you rather? Would you rather the family tradition that this family has, everyone being called after a month of the year, or would you rather the family tradition that you have to be called, you have to be named after the place that you were conceived? So your name would be Hallway. We don't bring that story up again. Oh, we're not talking about that?
Starting point is 00:46:51 No. And what would your name be? Like Geraldine or? I don't know. Gore. No, Clinton. Oh, it would be Clinton. My parents went through Clinton in the South Island on their honeymoon.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Nah, but were you conceived there? No, I wasn't. No, but the inspiration for me was conceived there. I reckon you, I reckon. Should we ring my mum and ask? Yeah, I've got a feeling she'll say grey mouth. Hey, grey mouth. I reckon she'll say BP car park on your dad's break.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Let's put it out there. Bree and grey mouth. It has a ring to it. We want to know what's the family tradition that you broke. Could be to do with names. Yeah. Could be a name tradition. Or could be a different family tradition.
Starting point is 00:47:31 And you went, nah, hell no. We're not doing it. You're like, this is silly. We're not into it. This is stupid. It's not our tradition. We don't want anything to do with it. I broke the tradition of, in my family,
Starting point is 00:47:42 we always cut down a Christmas tree illegally. Yeah. And I bought a fake Christmas tree and my family were pretty upset by it. How very dear you. I know. How dare I break the stealing of the Christmas tree tradition. In this family, we steal our Christmas trees. Yeah, in this family, we take what's not ours.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go. Birthday banger time. Number one songs when you turn 16. Cherie's going first. G'day, Cherie.

Okay, well, let's do your best. Totally, totally spoiled rotten. What is the year, Karen? 1973. All right, that means you were 16, Karen, in 1989.

Starting point is 00:51:07 It's Cher. Cher. Yeah. You like Cher, Karen? Loving it. I mean, what's not exactly right, Karen? I think she's going to live forever, too. Wait there, Karen.
Starting point is 00:51:20 We have to choose between Cher, Beyonce, and Macy Gray. Three icons. I'm voting for Macy Gray. Yeah, go on. Yeah, go on. Yeah, go on, Macy Gray. Cherie, you've won birthday banger. Oh, fantastic.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Bree and Clint from the year 2000. You're on ZM. Games, changes and fears. Bree and Clint. ZM, Brie and Clint. That's the winner of birthday banger today from Macy Gray. And I try. Someone on the text machine said, dudes, come on. It had to be Cher. This isn't even a banger. I met someone the other day who said to me, they're like, do you and Clint try and pick the song that you know people won't want on purpose to evoke an emotion in people?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Wow, are we reading the room that badly? Maybe. Really? Yeah. First of all, hard disagree. That Macy Gray song is a banger. That song is a banger. That song is a banger.
Starting point is 00:52:21 I have to agree. I definitely agree with you. And it's by far and away the best Macy Gray song. Yeah. Second of all, it got two votes. It wasn't even a, like. Text us on 9696. Out of one to ten, ten being Clint and I get it right every time.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah. One being like, we never get it right. Yeah. Out of ten, how many birthday bangers do we get correct out of ten? Out of ten, how often are we choosing the right one? Someone just texted through three.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Three! Three out of ten! Three! Claudia, you watch this happen every day. Yes, I do. What number do you give us? No shade. Six. Oh! do you give us? No shade, six. That's pretty good. In baseball, if you had a batting average of 600, that's bloody good.
Starting point is 00:53:12 But I'm going off my taste, not like the general taste. Well, no, no, everybody is. To be honest, you always pick what Clint picks. Not every time. I would say 98% of the time. So you and Clint have the same taste. Yeah, more similar. And I've got different tastes. Surely
Starting point is 00:53:31 it was between Macy Gray and Cher. Nobody wanted that Beyonce song, did they? Not me. Oh, there's so many texts coming through now. Thick and fast. I would have voted Macy Gray as well. Yeah, someone said you guys are a solid 8 out of 10. Macy Gray is rubbish though. Okay, I, you guys are a solid 8 out of 10. Macy Gray is rubbish, though. Okay, I'll take the 8, though.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Someone said 4. You guys cannot read the room. 4, 8, 6. What are you guys smoking? We have got every number on the spectrum here. This hasn't helped at all. 3, 3, 6, 5. Today was a 10, though.
Starting point is 00:54:03 1, 5. I'm happy with a five. Five is 50-50. Someone said Macy Gray is a banger, but then my wife rudely called during the song and interrupted the queen. All right, thanks, guys. Look, I'll put my hand up and say
Starting point is 00:54:21 when it comes to interior design, I am terrible. Yeah, I defer to my wife on those say when it comes to interior design, I am terrible. Yeah, I defer to my wife on those ones. No idea what I'm doing. I tend to go for comfort over style, but that's just me. When I came across this video, I was like, oh, I'm interested. It was an interior designer by the name of Christy. You can follow her at Studio Telos, and she pretty much says
Starting point is 00:54:44 these are the five things, in her opinion, as an interior designer that she reckons if you have in your house, it makes it look cheap. You said she's a Kiwi interior designer too. I believe so, yeah. Which is good because everywhere is different. Exactly. So let's kick it off with the first one.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Number one is a pet peeve of mine. Nat is having a fridge full of magnets. I mean, I just feel like they make the kitchen look so cluttered and I think they make it look cheap. Okay, I've got a tech on that first one. I have a kitchen magnet from every place I've traveled to. I love a kitchen magnet. I don't currently have any because our new fridge isn't magnetic. But up until we change fridges. I love a magnet on the fridge. I love photos on the fridge. Claudia, Ella?
Starting point is 00:55:36 Yeah, photos on the fridge is awesome. I would say yes for fridge magnets. I don't have heaps, but I have enough that they're noticeable. Okay, so that's pretty much one for everyone. And Ella's using those letter ones so she can learn how to spell. Oh, yeah. We actually have those in today in Māori. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:50 How did you know that? Oh, joke's on me. Awkward for you. Question number two. This is the second one. Plastic shower caddies, especially the ones that stick in the corner with the little suction cups. And when these end up filled with mould, they make your home look cheap.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I'd have to agree. What does she want us to use? Does she want it, like, built in? Does she want us to carve out a hole and do a recessed shelf, tiled shelf in there? Oh, God, I love a recessed shelf in a shower. Yeah, but you've got to redo your whole shower. Oh, how good. You've got to redo your whole shower. Oh, how good. You've got to redo your whole shower.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Nothing better. I'm not a huge fan of a plastic shower caddy either, but they're a means to an end, especially if you're flatting. Yeah, true. We can tell who's got a plastic shower caddy in their house. Mine's stuck on the wall, but it's metal, so it's a bit classy. No, that's classy. Yeah, that's classy.
Starting point is 00:56:43 You know what you can't drill into? The wall of a freaking shower. I would take a plastic shower caddy over a freaking shower curtain any day. I hate that. I don't think there's many things I hate more than a shower curtain. I always wanted a shower curtain that had a map of the world on it so that I could learn where all the countries were while I was showering. The worst is when you stay at a hotel and it's got a shower curtain.
Starting point is 00:57:11 And I remember one time we were in Dunedin. And you're like, I'm paying for this. One time we were in Dunedin and the shower curtain got me in its talons and it wrapped around my leg. These are the five things that make your house look cheap according to a New Zealand interior designer. Number three. Something that we all need.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Those really classic wire plastic coated A-frames to dry your washing, end up bending, end up rusting. And again, when there's so many better alternatives out there, I think they make your home look cheap. How does she not know that that's called a clothes horse? Lady, it's called a clothes horse. It's a clothes horse. And every house and flat in Aotearoa has at least two,
Starting point is 00:57:51 and we use them to dry our clothes right through winter because we can't go outside, and most of summer as well because you never know whether it's going to rain or not. My favourite is just awkwardly when you have to carry it and move it from one room to the other. Oh, the bend at the hips to move the clothes. And I feel like I'm going to put my back out every time. And then the little springs.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Given the choice between having clothes horses or not, we'd all choose not. But what's the alternative? What do you do? How am I meant to dry my goddamn clothes? Yeah. We're not all rich. Christy?
Starting point is 00:58:23 We're not all rich. Okay. Number four. Number four. We're not all rich. Christy. We're not all rich. Okay. Number four. Number four. We're taking this really personally, aren't we? This is the number four thing that makes your house look cheap. Maybe a little controversial, but I think having a bed with a bunch of random throw cushions on it just makes it look cluttered.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Half the time they end up living on the floor. I think this makes your room look cheap. Oh, she's struck a chord with Brie. Yes! Do you not remember the argument we had on this show months ago? Yeah, we counted our pillows. And you all were like, oh no, it should be six straight
Starting point is 00:58:56 pillows. It should be six pillows. And I was like, no, it's four pillows. That's it. No, boring bed. And you were all like, nah, anyway, interior designer says more than four, cluttered. No, she said throw pillows. You got really angry because I suggested, and how very dare I, suggested that you should get a European pillow. I've got, I hate those pillows.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Yeah, see? See? No, I've got. They're good for you. They're nice to sit up and read with. I've got the long pillow. Oh, you've got the maternity pillow? It's not a maternity pillow.
Starting point is 00:59:29 So you can hug it? It's the one that's a bit longer than a normal pillow so that it looks, you know, so you can stack them. Let's not go down this track again. Let's get to number five. Don't get me started on Claudia and her pillows. The last thing that this interior designer says makes your house look cheap.
Starting point is 00:59:46 As practical as they are, sort of plastic tarpaulin-like gazebos. Just really cheap in your outdoor area. No shit, lady. But we're not all rich. What do you do if you've got family coming over for Christmas and you don't have enough room to sit them
Starting point is 01:00:02 all inside and you want either shade or shelter? You dig a hole. This list infuriates me. No, I feel like there's some good ones on there. Like not the... They're real obvious. The things she listed are cheap things,
Starting point is 01:00:15 but they're like, we don't... Yeah, all of the things she listed are real cheap. Because the solution to all of the things that she said is spend a lot of money and have yourself like a purpose-built gazebo constructed outside your house. Retile your shower so you don't need a plastic shower caddy. And attach your washing line to your new gazebo. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Oh, that's not a bad idea. Run the dryer. Get a dryer and run the dryer. Run the dryer 24-7. But I guess it was in the title she said how to not make your house look cheap and therefore have an expensive house. Well, you know what? Maybe I want my house to look cheap.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Ever thought that? That is an aesthetic. Christy. Cheap. Bree and Clint. Right now I want to talk about the lengthy countdown that has spanned several months, I believe, where American music magazine Billboard finally has announced its pick for the greatest pop star of the 21st century. Really?
Starting point is 01:01:19 Yeah, it's been a long countdown. They've been building and building and building, like saying, we're going to pick this. 24 years into the century and we're ready to pick this, we're going to do this. 24 years into the century and we're ready to call it. Doesn't make sense. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense at all. But they've done it.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Okay. They have done it. Well, they've got to keep coming. Like us, they've got to keep coming up with shit every day, don't they? They have to do something. We feel you, Billboard. Sorry. Hey, we're doing their content. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:41 So, you know. Let's go through the list. We'll do the top 10. I believe it was a, I don't know how many they did. They must have did a top 100. Yeah, that's their thing. That's their thing, eh? We'll do the top 10.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Would you want to be the number 100 pop star of the century? Better than being 101. Well, that's true. Yeah. I mean, depends who it was. Yeah. You know? While we do this, Claudia, could you see. I mean, it depends who it was. Yeah. You know? While we do this, Claudia, could you see if you can find out who number 100 was for us?
Starting point is 01:02:09 Cool. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Let's start at number 10. This is Billboard's list of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century. Wow.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Adele just scraped in at number 10. Just got in at number 10. Adele, I don't know. I feel like she should be higher. Same, but we don't know what's to come yet, so let's go with that. Okay, that's true. Next on the list at number 9 was Ariana Grande. I just met her.
Starting point is 01:02:44 I think she's fantastic. I don't know that Ariana Grande trumps Adele in my books, though. But yeah, good for Ariana. She's big. She's big. Yeah, she's big. I love Ariana Grande. So all for that one.
Starting point is 01:03:00 But yeah, you're right. Adele's huge as well. Number eight, Justin Bieber. one but yeah you're right adele's huge as well um number eight justin bieber yeah as far as the boys go he's the pop star of the last four decade at least i believe well he's not he's number eight yeah i mean you know what of the boys hayley bieber was fuming about it. Oh, really? She was like, Billboard, is this an effing joke? Oh, okay. I can't believe.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Always good when your missus goes in to feed you. I mean. To tell them off. Yeah. Should you be. Sorry, Hayley. Sorry. Anyway, let's move on to number seven.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Oh, yeah. I'm big fan, so I'm fine with it. I don't know if I agree with that one, but that's my opinion. Kanye's number six. No, number seven. Oh, number seven. Number six. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Absolutely. Absolutely. Britney Spears. She's a part of pop culture. Yeah. And has been for a long, long time. Yeah. And huge part of pop music. So she's in at number six.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Number five. Same thing. Everything you just said for Britney is true for Lady Gaga. She picked up where Britney left off. 100%. She also just transcended pop music as well, just becoming a part of pop culture. Yeah. Number four.
Starting point is 01:04:44 No. Drake, the only one in the top five. That's a boy. No, he is not top five. No, he's not top five. I don't believe so. Not as a pop star and not as a hip hop star either. Yeah, that's fair.
Starting point is 01:04:59 He's huge. He's huge. Massive. Yeah, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. We are counting down the top 10 pop artists of the 21st century, according to Billboard, and we're up to number three. Absolutely well-deserved.
Starting point is 01:05:20 If not, should be higher. Undeniable. Yep. Yep. No doubt about it. Rihanna. I would have been happy if she waseniable. Yep. Yep. No doubt about it. Rihanna. I would have been happy if she was number one. Same. Yep.
Starting point is 01:05:29 But she's not number one. Number two is this one. You know this whole list, I forgot about Taylor Swift. Did you? Yeah, I forgot that she was coming. Taylor Swift in at number two. Again, I'd be fine if she was number one. And number one, the top spot, according to Billboard,
Starting point is 01:05:47 greatest pop artist of the 21st century is... Beyonce. Well, they have to say that, don't they? What do you think? What is your honest opinion? If they don't make Beyonce number one think what do you what is your honest opinion if they don't make beyonce number one she will come for them who would you say for you is the top pop artist of the 21st century rihanna or taylor swift i would have to say or lady gaga yeah i mean i'd have to
Starting point is 01:06:21 say right now i'd have to say taylor swift. For the amount of years her career has, like, spanned and for the success of this latest tour and all of the albums, I'd have to say it's her. Again, though, I stand by what I said earlier. It's too early. We have no idea what Jojo Siwa will achieve. Okay? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:42 It's too early to call it, guys. It is. You're right. Too early to, guys. It is, you're right. It's way too early to call it. Dream guess, you're my boy, Kev. Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint. That's the weekend. Playboy Cardi, it's timeless.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Sorry, we've been stewing over this billboard list for the last 15 minutes. Do you know number 11 on the list was Usher? We stopped at 10. The list went to 25. Do you want me to quickly run through the rest? Yeah, go on. 11 was Usher? We stopped at 10. The list went to 25. Do you want me to quickly run through the rest? Yeah, go on. 11 was Usher.
Starting point is 01:07:08 12 was Eminem. Sorry, if you just missed it, these are the biggest pop stars of the century, according to Billboard magazine. Oh, I probably should do them all. Okay, let me just do it real quick. 25, Katy Perry. 24, Ed Sheeran.
Starting point is 01:07:22 23, Bad Bunny. 22, One Direction. 21, Lil Wayne, 20, Bruno Mars, 19, BTS, 18, The Weeknd, 17, Shakira, 16, Jay-Z, 15, Miley Cyrus, 14, Justin Timberlake, 13, Nicki Minaj, 12, Eminem, 11, Usher. And the top 10 was Adele, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Drake, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce taking out the top spot. We all agreed, stupid list. Where's Jojo Siwa? Calm as a bitch, I should have known better. But as she says, calm as a bitch.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Calm as a bitch, Billboard Magazine. It's come with you. Have a great night, everybody. We'll see you back tomorrow on the Brian Clint Show. Bye-bye. Come as a bitch. And she's with me right now.
