For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market.
It acts like a form of play.
Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.
Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head,
and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her.
This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

Tonight we are going to witness the most anticipated show
in the history of professional radio
ZM's Brian Clint In the history of professional radio.
Zeddy, Brie and Clint.
Kia ora everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show on a very chilly Monday afternoon.
Yeah, I'm a bit blurry eyed today to be honest.
Are you? I had another 5am alarm to get up and watch some Olympics.
No regrets.
No rugrets.
No rugrets. Gotta love it. You gotta get a VCR. to get up and watch some Olympics, no regrets. No regrets. No regrets.
You've got to get a VCR.
That can record it.
You program it to record the games that you want to see
and then just put the VCR on when you get up.
I mean, they are expensive, those VCRs.
Worth it, though.
Those things are going to be around forever.
Look, we joke, we joke, but there's nothing like watching a game live.
Yeah.
It's not the same watching it back, you know, as a replay,
because you know it's a replay.
Ah, I can trick myself.
Nah.
I just got to stay off my phone, but I can trick myself.
Not me.
Not me.
I need to watch it live, and I need to be in that moment.
I need to feel this excitement that's happening.
Yeah.
There was three people at my house this morning
and we're all crowded around this little TV
and we're all just sitting there.
They're memories, mate.
They're memories.
You were watching Aussie women's soccer, weren't you?
We were watching the Matildas take on Zambia
and we thought, we didn't really know what was going to happen,
but it was a nail-biter and there was 11 goals scored in the whole game.
6-5, Australia won in, like, the last five minutes.
In my opinion, that's how soccer should be played.
There should be 11 to 15 goals every game.
Much more exciting.
God, the whole game was just highlights.
There was that many shots on goal.
It was ridiculous.
Also, we are whole again.
Our producer, Claudia, is back from her American sojourn.
Hi, Claudia.
Hi.
Oh, what's up?
How are we?
Are you American yet?
Yeah, howdy.
Are you Team USA for the Olympics?
Never.
Team NZ all the way.
What about Simone Biles?
Yeah, you were too.
You were too.
You've got to get behind Simone Biles.
Who watched a bit of Simone yesterday?
Me.
Oh, my God.
She is incredible. She's the GO Oh, my God. She is incredible.
She's the goat for a reason.
She is.
Fun show on the way for you today.
We're going to get straight into Tradiverse Lady.
We've got $50 cash and a brand new price from the tool shed up for grabs.
If you're keen to play with us, you should call 0800DIALZM right now.
Oh, it's a hedge trimmer.
Oh, yeah.
How good.
If you want that, give us a call.
0800 DIAL ZM.
If your bushes need some attention.
Bree and Clint.
Time for a round of Tradie versus Lady.
It's the Tradie versus Lady.
Thanks to the two-shed.
Kiwi owned, trusted by Tradie.
Three, two, one, let's go.
Here we are, the tradies and the ladies,
for another week going head-to-head.
Tradies sit on 56 wins for the year,
the ladies on 67.
This week we're playing for a DeWalt 18-volt hedge trimmer kit.
It's worth over 400 bucks, plus we'll give you $50 cash,
thanks to our mates at the Tool Shed.
Let's meet our contestants.
Our lady is from Christchurch.
She is 44, and she once spent $100 trying to make brownies and failed.
Welcome to the show, Dale.
Yeah, hi.
G'day, Dale.
What type of brownies?
Oh, just regular ones.
Okay, right, just checking.
Just checking.
They must be some decent amount of chocolate brownies then.
Yeah, well, if that had worked,
there would have been good brownies,
but I am incompetent, so it didn't. What happened?
How did you stuff up brownies?
I do not know.
I was just, yep.
I like your logic though, Dale.
I like your logic.
If the brownies were good, they would have been good.
Yeah, if they were good, man, they would have been good.
They would have been great.
Yeah, yeah.
If I was good at sport, I'd be at the Olympics.
Yeah, solid logic.
You're taking on our tradie today from the Tron, the 31, and they love cows.
Welcome to the show, Jimmy.
G'day, Jimmy.
What's your favourite breed of cow?
The milking one.
Do you actually, you don't know any breeds?
It's a Friesian, isn't it?
Are they Fisians?
Yes.
What about the Speckled Park?
I like the Speckled Parks because they're cute.
Yeah, right.
Just the old standard Kiwi cow.
He likes the black and white ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You didn't think we were actually going to ask you about your affinity with cows, did you?
Yeah, not at all, yeah.
You thought wrong. Jimmy loves all cows. Did you? Yeah, not at all, yeah. You thought wrong.
Jimmy loves all cows. Hashtag all cows matter.
Yep. Okay, Dale,
your lady, Jimmy, your tradie, first to three gets the win in tradie versus lady
and the price in the tool sheds. Here we
go. Question number one. The opening
ceremony for the Paris Olympic Games
went down over the weekend. Name
one of the megastar musicians
that appeared. Dale. Yes, Dale.
Celine Dion.
Celine Dion.
We also would have accepted Lady Gaga.
She was also in it.
Question number two.
One to the ladies.
She's been called the greatest of her sport
in all...
Sorry, I'm stuffed up there.
She's been called the goat of her sport.
What sport does Simone Biles compete in?
Dale.
Yes, Dale.
Gymnastics.
Gymnastics.
God, she's all over it like a rash, unlike me.
Question number three.
You need this one, Jimmy, to stay in it.
Approximately how many degrees Celsius is 45 degrees Fahrenheit?
Is it 7, 15, or 25?
Travy.
Yes, Jimmy. 25. Oh, 7, 15 or 25? Trady. Yes, Jimmy.
25.
Oh, Jimmy.
Yes, Dale. You get a shot.
7. 7 is correct.
Oh my God. Oh no.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Move over, Jimmy.
We've got a new Trady vs Lady champion, and it's Dale.
Dale, that was a gold medal winning performance.
Thank you.
My heart is pounding.
You nailed it, and you've won that hedge trimmer worth over $400
from the tool shed and $50.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Cheers, guys.
Thanks, guys.
That was good fun.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Tradiverse Lady, thanks to the Tool Sheet.
They've got 30 stores nationwide.
The Tool Sheet is Kiwi-owned and trusted by tradies.
ZM.
Bree and Clint.
The Olympics is in full swing.
God, I can't get enough.
I love the Olympics.
I live, breathe, eat, taste, smell it.
I just like it.
Do you? It's good. It, taste, smell it. I just like it. Do you?
It's good.
It's very, very good.
And this next story might be the craziest story I've heard from this Olympics so far.
Okay.
You do hear crazy stories.
Yep.
Like there was that story of one of the flag bearers losing his wedding ring.
Oh, yeah.
During the opening ceremony.
One of my favorite stories at the moment is the guy who had to dive into the pool to retrieve the swimming cap
of the American swimmer.
Another great story.
And this middle-aged dad with a dad bod.
We're celebrating.
He had to get in his Speedo and dive in there.
He looked fantastic.
He was a hero.
He's the man.
He was a hero.
This story takes the cake.
This story is the craziest one I've heard,
and it's about an Aussie
hockey player,
field hockey player, Matt Dawson.
He's representing
the Aussie men's team,
otherwise known as the Kookaburras
and unfortunately for him
a few weeks
back, so a few weeks, I think it was
about three weeks now before
they were set to go away.
Yeah.
He broke a finger on his right hand.
Ooh, okay.
Which, not great if you're a hockey player.
No.
Broke it so badly that he was later informed
that it would have taken months for him to recover from the surgery
that he would have needed to repair it.
Yeah.
Like it was so badly broken.
Do we know which finger?
It doesn't say.
It doesn't say which finger.
Yeah.
But it just says that it was so badly broken he needed surgery and that would have taken
months, which meant his Olympic dream was over.
I know what he's done. He, in order to speed up the process, has decided to have the finger removed from the knuckle up.
Yep.
And doing so means that he can now participate
in his third Olympic Games without the finger.
What a legend.
What?
What a legend.
What?
Excuse me?
There's a story
about an All Black who did that in the 1940s
but that was the 1940s.
To do it in 2024,
that's wild.
He said apparently on a
podcast that
he was getting closer to the end of
his career because he's 30
and he said, who knows, this could be my last Olympics and that he was getting closer to the end of his career because he's 30. Yep.
And he said, who knows, this could be my last Olympics and I felt that I could still perform at my best without the finger,
then that's what I was going to do.
I was willing to get rid of a part of my finger if I could go to the Olympics and play.
I love the idea that his hands are only needed for his
Olympics career, not for the next 60
years of his life. Yeah.
No one can doubt his commitment to the
team, you know? No, no
one can doubt it. I mean, I have heard
people would give an
arm and a leg to go to the Olympics. But a
finger. But not a finger. A finger.
If you had to amputate a
finger, which one would you lose?
I'd probably have to go either the ring.
Yeah.
The ring finger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As someone with a bung ring finger,
I can tell you it's a pretty useless finger.
Like it doesn't do much.
Especially if you don't wear your wedding ring.
I think it'd be the...
Yeah, it's completely useless.
I think like I'd get them to take that out
and then I'd have like a cool like Yeah, it's completely useless. I think, like, I'd get them to take that out and then I'd have, like, a cool, like,
four-hand claw
kind of situation. Yeah. You need
your thumb for hitchhiking, you need
your index for picking your nose, you need
your middle for flipping people off, and you need your pinky
for resting your phone on while you're scrolling. Oh, I
thought you need your pinky for the shocker.
Yep.
Well, again, you don't need your ring finger for that.
We were thinking different.
Just make.
That was my train of thought.
Yeah.
Well, we use our hands for different things, don't we?
It's the beauty of this world.
Bree and Clint.
Do you wish you were off the socials?
A study of 1,000 university students has found
you wouldn't have to pay them anything to get off social media.
In fact, they would pay you to get off social media if they knew everybody else was off
it as well.
I've just had a great idea.
I'm going to start a social media detoxing centre.
Okay.
And you come into the centre.
Yeah.
And you hand over your phone and we lock it away.
And then we push you out into nature.
Okay.
And it's like a retreat.
Aren't you describing Celebrity Treasure Island?
Yeah.
But I'm going to do it as like an actual place where people pay me money.
It sounds great.
And I take them out into the wilderness.
And I think we hit the nail on the head before.
The key is so long as a group of people are doing it.
We are pack animals.
We want to be doing what everybody else is doing.
So if everybody is on the socials, we're on the socials.
If everybody is off the socials, we want to be off the socials.
We're all just a bunch of sheep.
Exactly.
Meh.
So are you off?
Have you broken free and are you off social media?
Larissa's called through.
Kia ora, Larissa.
Hi, Larissa.
Hi.
Are you off the socials, mate?
Yes, and I have been for nearly five years.
Wow.
Why did you do it, first of all? So, it
was one of my son's birthday. It was his fifth.
It was a pretty big day.
And I was getting angry
at him for not, like, blowing out the
candles and stuff too fast, because I want to take pictures
of it. Oh my God. And I realised
what a bad parent, like, making
it about social media instead of just
enjoying it with him. You weren't living in the moment.
You were trying to share the moment.
And I wasn't making it fun for him because I was like,
Paul, wait, no, stand there.
We'll do it again.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Oh, Larissa, I don't know how, I mean,
that's amazing that you've had that self-awareness,
first of all.
And second of all, how did you last through all the lockdowns
and COVID?
I'm a movie person.
I watch a whole lot of movies and reality shows on these socials.
The main question or the main issue I get from people is that they feel like they would be out of the loop.
So, like, what do you do with, like, birthday parties and information that you need that everybody just shares on social media these days?
How do people tell you things?
To be honest, there's a few things
that I get last minute because they're like, oh, we forgot
you weren't on the invite page. So that
does happen. Yes. But it's
usually a text or a phone call or last minute
through word of mouth like, oh, are you coming? And I'm like, no.
And they're like, oh, you're supposed to. Sorry, your Facebook. You don't
have one. So it still gets to you though.
You still get it eventually.
People have to go analogue to get to you
Larissa. Pigeon. Iogue to get to you, Larissa.
Pigeon.
I like it.
Yeah, yeah.
I want everyone to do it.
So last question, is life better not being on social media?
Way better.
Larissa, but how do you write anonymous hate comments to random people that you've never met?
Like, where do you do that?
Well, you have less hate because you have less social media drama
and you don't even care. Where do you do all your judging? Yeah, where do you judge people that you've never met? Well, you have less hate because you have less social media drama. Oh, it's so true.
Where do you do all your judging?
Yeah, where do you judge people that you've never met?
You're happier, so you don't need to.
Oh, good on you. Oh, my God.
Larissa's found the answer.
Thank you.
We appreciate that.
Someone texted and said, hi, I'm 22, and I only got Instagram six months ago.
Whenever I used to tell people that I didn't have Instagram or Facebook,
they thought that I had a secret life because it was unbelievable that I didn't have Instagram or Facebook. They thought that I had a secret
life because it was unbelievable that I wouldn't have social media. Isn't that so true? Like
you've said it before that if you went out on a date with a guy and you didn't have social
media, you'd be like red flag. It would be because it is really unusual, especially if
he didn't have anything. Suspicious. Yeah. Like even if he was like, oh, I'm not on Instagram or TikTok,
but I do have a Facebook, you know, to catch up with families
or to get invites and stuff.
Then I'd be like, okay, that's fine.
Someone said, I'm 33 and I never had TikTok.
Thank God.
I know that I would waste my life.
Isn't it great to have that much self-awareness?
It's so true.
And self-control.
And we do.
Someone else said, my partner has never had social media.
His limits are email and trade me.
If I wanted to send him photos of anything,
I have to email or pay to text them to him,
which is slightly frustrating.
I kind of love it though.
Like imagine communicating with him through his trade me page.
Be like communicating to someone from the past.
Yeah, yeah.
Be like, what's it like back in 2003?
Yeah, well, there you go.
If that resonates with you, we're about to finish Dry July.
Maybe we should come up with a social media version,
like Social September.
No Social September.
Yeah.
Did I just invent something?
Did we just invent something?
Yeah. I mean, I don't want? Did we just invent something? Yeah.
I mean, I don't want to do it,
but I think you guys should do it and tell us what it's like.
Here we go.
Bree and Clint.
The show's brought to you by KFC's Hot and Spicy.
It's back at KFC.
From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
The Olympics are in full swing.
The world is watching the return of Simone Biles,
and she knows, Dean, you can see it in the outfits that she's wearing.
Oh, you certainly can.
She is a superstar in her performances,
and she is dressed like a Hollywood goddess.
Let me tell you about the leotard that she's wearing.
It is worth over $5,000.
She has eight of them, okay?
It has hand-encrusted Swarovski crystals.
First of all, also Swarovski, hardest word in the English language.
Hardest word, yeah.
Swarovski.
But Swarovski, let me just describe it.
It's literally like a body, obviously body hugging,
but it is like hand-threaded Swarovski crystals,
and she is absolutely just wowing the crowd.
You know, at this game, she has revealed what's called the Biles 3-2.
It is a triple twisting double somersault on a vault.
It's ridiculous.
I saw it.
I saw it.
It all went down on Saturday in the group rounds for the team event.
She's got her own move.
She's about to get her own move in each different event.
Wow.
So she's the only person.
I think she's got more moves named after her in the sport
than any other person ever to do gymnastics.
People don't realise what a big deal for brands and marketing the Olympics is.
But, Dean, you're talking about the Swarovski crystals.
What a boon for Swarovski
to have the greatest gymnast
of all time wearing their crystals out there, right?
Yeah,
and let me tell you something that I'm worried about.
I need to chill, but aren't you a little bit
worried they'll come off? Is anyone else
worried? What if one lands in the
vault and she goes up, three
twizzle, twizzle, twizzle, then back down and
there's a Swrovsky. Yeah.
I'm worried.
I don't know.
It's a little gift for the people of Paris.
I'm worried.
Do we know, because obviously Team USA are all wearing the same leotard,
are all of them worth that amount or has she had special?
Yeah.
Right.
They're all worth that amount.
Yeah.
They're all got the same.
I think maybe because, you know, she's so hyper-hyper
that maybe they all got a bit of a bump in the budget for the big.
But, you know, they all do have the same one.
I'd love it if she had her own.
That'd be great.
But it's really amazing that Beyonce has had her own one made,
not in Strovski.
She's had her own.
USA.
She kind of looks like a cheerleader.
I must admit, I feel like Team USA's leotards were just a cut above the rest.
Oh, they're nailing it.
They're nailing all the fashion.
And it was so interesting, Dean.
I don't know if you saw it,
but because obviously it was her first appearance at the Olympics on Saturday,
our time, and the amount of celebrities that were in the crowd watching that.
To see her.
Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande.
She's the hottest second in town.
Yeah.
Everyone was there, like seeing a piece of history go down at the Olympics.
That's for sure.
That is.
I've actually never seen that before.
I don't remember ever seeing, like, that many celebrities in a crowd at an Olympic event.
John Legend was there.
I mean, so many people.
There you go.
That's the latest.
Fashion meets sport in the latest with Dean McCarthy.
He's our Hollywood correspondent.
Bree and Clint.
Who here in the Bree and Clint show watched the opening ceremony
of the games on Saturday and who here liked it?
Yes or no?
I watched it.
I think I saw the second two-thirds of it.
Oh, the party half.
Yeah.
That's what I'm calling it.
I saw a good chunk of it.
I reckon I saw almost two hours of it and I didn't see a single athlete.
Oh, you didn't?
Oh, they were peppered throughout on boats.
So by the time I tuned in, all the athletes were in and it was just party time.
And I thought it was phenomenal.
Yeah.
I was watching it on the couch and I kept going, I kept catching myself going,
oh my God, look at that.
I just loved how unique it was.
Yeah.
Like it was so different and I felt like it really reflected the culture
that is Paris.
I liked the fact that it wasn't in a stadium.
Yeah, loved it.
Like I don't – it's fine if you do your like opening ceremony
in a stadium.
Every opening ceremony to date has been in a stadium.
So the idea of doing it around Paris
Genius. Like using the city itself
as the stage
Great idea. I thought it was incredible. Yeah
I did see some Instagram reels
from people like Chris Chang from
TVNZ who were there on the ground
and were in Paris for the opening ceremony
He said because it was everywhere
it was very hard to
be a spectator at
because there was no one real focal point.
It was definitely for TV.
It was for TV, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
What about you producers?
Did you guys watch?
What did you think?
I saw highlights and it was good.
You didn't watch it.
So you didn't watch it.
What do you mean?
I did, but I just fast-forwarded through some stuff.
Okay.
The people on the boat, beautiful.
Go everyone.
Lovely seeing the smaller countries as well. Yeah, that was cool. Fast food. You got the idea, The people on the boat, beautiful. Go everyone. Lovely seeing the smaller countries as well.
Yeah, that was cool.
Fast food.
You got the idea, so fast food.
Yeah, yeah.
And then saw, was it the drag queens on the catwalk?
That was fun.
Yeah.
Celine Dion definitely blew me away.
So that was nice to see her on top of the Eiffel Tower.
Yeah.
I mean, how can you?
Nice is an understatement, I feel.
I feel like it was one of the most incredible television moments of all time.
It might be the most iconic moment from an Olympic Games ever.
Yes, it was cool.
It was nice to see Celine on the Eiffel Tower.
It was lovely to see Celine get back out there and do a little sing-song.
If you've watched that Celine Dion documentary,
because we had the rumour on our show last week
that Celine was going to be a part of it.
And even then I thought, oh, yeah, it's a nice thought.
But I've seen the doco and I've
seen the state that she is in
with that disease that she has.
Stiff person syndrome. We've got a clip of her
from the doco talking about
how she will
sing again. I feel like
people really want the best for you
physically, but then they will say
I hope there's one more concert. I hope she
sings again. What is the way to that? Oh is the weight of that well i'll sing again i'll sing again that's for sure and again it was so good to
hear her say that yeah but then the end of the doco spoiler alert is witnessing her have one of
those attacks from stiff person syndrome which her doctor said was bought on by the fact that she was singing it, overexcited her nervous system.
So to then see her on top of the Eiffel Tower singing to the city of Paris, I was like,
this seems incredible.
We would play you a clip of her singing in the opening ceremony, but legally we're not
allowed to.
So please enjoy this clip of Celine Dion singing a French song at her concert four years ago.
And can I tell you, it was better than this.
I mean, you know, just imagine.
The fact that it was in the rain too, I found it just added to it.
Like it pissed down in Paris for that opening ceremony
and it just built it up even more.
Also, if you were wondering what Lady Gaga sounded like,
because she was there too at the opening ceremony.
Yes.
We also legally can't play that,
so here's a clip of Lady Gaga singing a French song
at Tony Bennett's birthday.
And can I say, can I say, it sounded nothing like this,
but this is nice.
But similar.
Yeah.
She did cabaret.
You get the gist. You get the gist.
You get the gist.
Yep.
If you didn't see the opening ceremony, look,
do I think you should sit down and watch all four hours of it?
Maybe not four hours, but there's a lot of angry people.
People are angry around the world.
And then did you see they were saying that they had to issue an apology?
Who did?
Like Paris had to.
Paris?
Yeah, like the people who organized it.
What were they apologizing for?
They were apologizing for offending people.
Who did they offend specifically?
There's a bunch of religious groups around the world
who were offended by certain things
that were included in the opening ceremony.
Do you mean the drag queen recreation of Jesus' Last Supper?
Yes.
With DJ Dex instead of wine and bread?
I think that might have been one of the things, yeah.
I wonder with those things, because of the world we live in now,
if there are a lot of people who are offended,
or if apps like TikTok, if some people are offended,
then they whip up the outrage and it seems bigger than it actually is.
Like, really?
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, I just think it was a whole lot of fun.
I thought it was fun.
I thought it was gay as all hell, but I think that was part of the charm.
It was super camp.
I think it encompassed what Paris and Paris is all about. The culture,
the fashion, you know, what
it is actually like in that city.
Yeah. And it was awesome.
I'd like to know what the alternative is.
Like, what did you want to see? Just like two
dudes wrestling. Yeah, like
did you want to see the same old stuff?
You know? Just generic Olympic
Games opening ceremony
performances.
No thanks.
Yeah, how good.
Loved it.
Brian Clint, if you're looking for highlights, they're very hard to find because like we asked with those clips.
Legally.
Legally, it's very hard to put anything anywhere that anybody can enjoy at all.
Yeah, legally, you're not allowed to post any footage or play any audio.
But it's for everyone.
It's for everyone.
Brian Clint. any footage or play any audio. But it's for everyone. It's for everyone.
Brian Clint.
I'll tell you who's doing a lot of PR press at the moment.
Who?
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds for the film Deadpool and Wolverine.
Oh, yeah, they're all about it, eh?
They're all over it.
Has anyone seen it yet, the movie?
Has anyone gone and watched Deadpool Wolverine? I haven't seen it, but I totally would go and see it. Is it getting good reviews?
The two other Deadpool
films are fantastic. Yeah.
And this looks very funny
and like similar vein to the
others. It's the number one movie in the world
this week. I saw Ryan Reynolds
post that. So that's good.
Have you seen it Ella? I haven't seen it
but it's got 79% on Rotten Tomatoes
which makes it seem like a fairly good movie.
How many people have reviewed that to get that percentage?
Can you go into that?
I just see what it says on Google.
You know, it says Rotten Tomatoes, 79%.
Yeah.
But is it actually like a thing?
How does Rotten Tomatoes even work?
It's crowdsourcing, right?
Yeah, really.
And so the more it gets reviewed, the more accurate the rating is.
Exactly.
So you always have to look how many people have rated it.
Because if one person with a huge boner for Hugh Jackman goes and watches it and reviews it,
it's obviously going to be skewed.
And gives it 100.
Yeah.
Okay, so it says 10,000 plus.
Okay.
That's a fair few.
Verified rating.
It's a fair few.
Not bad.
Anyway, off the back of that, I stumbled across quite some interesting information
that I've never really thought about and I don't know why.
But have you ever thought about who Ryan Reynolds was with
before he was with Blake Lively?
No, because they're just one of those couples that you think
of always being together.
In my mind, they have been together since they were young kids. They've been together
since primary school. It's not the case. Right. He has quite the dating history. Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. Like he's been married before. He's been engaged. Was he married?
He's been engaged and he's been married. Does he have children with anybody else? I don't believe
so. Okay. I don't believe so.
But let's go through Ryan Reynolds' previous dating history.
So many, many moons ago, he had a fling with Melissa Joan Hart,
a.k.a. Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Wow.
They met whilst filming some episodes of that show.
Was he on Sabrina the Teenage Witch?
Yeah, not as like a...
No, he wasn't like Harvey or anything.
Yeah, right.
He appeared, I think, in a few episodes here and there.
Okay.
But yeah, they had a little fling.
And then he had an eight-month romance
with his co-star on Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place,
Traylor Howard.
Okay.
Is her name Traylor?
Traylor.
Traylor?
Traylor. Traylor Howard is her name. How do you, Traylor Howard. Okay. Is her name Traylor? Traylor. Traylor? Traylor.
Traylor Howard is her name.
How do you spell Traylor?
T-R-A-Y-L-O-R.
Traylor.
Traylor.
Wow, okay.
Yeah, the main girl on that show.
Yeah.
So they had a fling.
And then he dated Kristen Johnson.
You might remember her from Third Rock from The Sun.
He dated her in 1999.
Then he was engaged to Alanis Morissette.
He was engaged to Alanis Morissette?
He dated her from 2002 to 2007.
And was serious enough to be engaged?
I believe so.
They were engaged.
Wow.
He then met Scarlett Johansson in 2007, so moved on quickly,
and married her.
I'm not too sure when, but married her and they divorced in 2011.
Wait.
So they met in 2007, divorced in 2011, Scarlett Johansson.
Ryan Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson.
Yes.
This is a part of the timeline that I feel like I missed Scarlett Johansson. Ryan Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson. Yes.
This is a part of the timeline that I feel like I missed because I've always known about him and I've always known about her.
Like I was watching Ryan Reynolds movies back when he was doing Van Wilder.
But I think that particular relationship was kept on like real down lows.
Why?
That would have been one of the hottest couples in Hollywood.
I think that's why.
They didn't want their relationship to be out there.
Okay.
Anyway, once he divorced Scarlett Johansson,
then he went on a bit of a...
Once he got rid of Scarlett Johansson, the Scarlett Johansson.
Then he went on a bit of a dating spree, shall we say,
and he dated Sandra Bullock.
Okay.
Briefly after divorcing Scarlett Johansson.
Then he also had a fling with Charlize Theron.
Yeah, nailed it.
Charlize Theron.
And then he met Blake Lively also in 2011,
and then they married in 2012, a year later.
God. and then they married in 2012, a year later. God, what an incredible list of people that he has been associated with.
I know.
Wow, I had no idea.
Charlize Theron.
Charlize Theron.
Sandra Bullock.
And the whole time.
Scarlett Johansson.
And the whole time his co-star Wolverine, Hugh Jackman, married to the same woman.
Yep.
Not anymore.
He's divorced.
Not anymore.
Now he can go on as Ryan Reynolds' hot girl summer.
He's starting to date all the people Ryan Reynolds has dated just to troll him.
He's about to slide into Alanis Morissette's DMs.
Like, Ryan.
There you go.
The more you know.
Brie and Clint.
Brie and Clint.
Brie and Clint.
It's time to...
Guess...
That...
Noise!
Did you just hock tour into your own cup of tea?
It was a fake hock tour.
I mean, it's your tea.
Maybe that's how I like it.
True.
You never know.
This is a very easy game where Claudia will run it.
She will play us noises, and we have to guess,
take turns guessing those noises.
First to guess three correct wins.
And we have teammates.
Let's meet our teammates.
They're waiting in the wings.
Her name is Lisa, and she's on Team Bree.

That's what we're playing for.
Claudia, what's our theme this week?

kind of person.
Oh, that too.
I'll down one of those

I've got the Googles now.
Okay, yeah, like Bree said earlier, I'm going to play a sound.
You guys need to buzz in with your name and tell me what it is.
Bree and Clint, you guys are going first.
Okay.
Good luck.
Am I allowed to buzz in with, because it's a French version,
am I allowed to buzz in with,

Oui.
Thank you.
You may. If that's what you want to buzz them with ho ho ho? You may.
If that's what you want to do, I will allow it.

And what are all those things, what are they all from?
Ha, ha, ha.
Oui?
Cooking?
Correct.
Oh.
Oui, oui.
Thank you.
How bloody broad is this game?
Natalie, we have the competitive advantage.
I would like you to use it, okay?
All right.

Natalie and Lisa, buzz them with your name if you know what this is.
Lisa.
Lisa. Is it maracas? No, it's not. Lisa.
Is it Maracas?
No, it's not.
I mean, it's a great guess.
It is a great guess.
Natalie.
Oh, my goodness.
Is it like stirring something?
No, think art.
Think like... Street art.
Street art.
Art.
Street art.
No point.
Claudia, it was a...
It was like graffiti and like, yeah, street art.
Can of spray paint, isn't it?
Can of spray paint.
Yeah.
Okay, no points there.
No points.
I recognise that little
ball sound
anywhere.
A little shaker.
It's quite satisfying
that sound.
Is it a ball that rolls
around the can?
It's a ball bearing, yeah.
Okay, Brie and Clint,
this one's for you guys.
What do I always say?
Brie.
Anyone.
Is that the chef
from Ratatouille?
It is.
Oh.
Come on.
I don't think Clint's
seen that movie.
I haven't.
I was going to say
Idris Elba. Anyone can cook. I haven't. I was going to say Idris Elba.
Anyone can cook.
Anyone can cook.
What do I always say?
Anyone can cook.
Well, yeah, anyone can.
That doesn't mean that anyone should.
Kim.
Such a good movie.
Okay, that is two points.
One of the core sounds of Paris.
Yeah.
Rats.
It is.
Rats.
Rats.
That is two points for Team Brie.
So, Lisa and Natalie, back to you guys.
No.
What?
The first point went to Team Clint.
The cooking one.
Okay, that's one each.
I think Claudia might be right.
Guys, I'm really jet-lagged.
Okay.
Moving on.
Natalie and Lisa.
One a piece.
One a piece.
Natalie and Lisa.
Here you go.
Lisa.
Lisa.
Is it like the street music in France?
Yeah.
Nice.
I would have accepted music.
I would have accepted the accordion.
God, you cultured individual.
Team Brie is up by one.
This could be the win or this could be the tie, but last one.
Could we clinch it?
Do you want to go all in?
All in.
Okay, Lisa, Natalie.
Anyone can buzz in. Anyone can buzz in.
You can buzz in.
Here it is.
Brie.
Brie.
I believe that might be lighting up a cigarette.
Correct.
Oh, wee, wee.
Ho, ho, ho.
Shed on, sheddy.
And translate that into Kiwi is, how's it going, Cheryl?
Lise, you're the Guess the Noise champion.
You get 50 KFC chicken dollars. Yeah. Go team Brie. Go Lise, you're the Guess the Noise champion. You get 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Yeah, go team Brie.
Go Lise.
The classic French dish
of fried chicken.
Oh, who doesn't love
a bit of fried chicken?
Brie and Clint.
Guys, gather in.
Gather in.
Serious chat.
Serious chat that I think
needs to happen on this show.
Yeah.
We need to rate what are the best roasts from best to worst,
and we need to come to a decision right here, right now.
As in the best roast meats?
Exactly.
What I'm talking about.
Or like the Tom Brady roast.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I mean, that's another.
We could rate the best roast.
I'm talking about there's four four roasts in my opinion.
Yeah.
In the land of New Zealand and it's lamb roast.
Yeah.
Then you've got chicken roast.
Sure.
Pork roast.
Yeah.
Beef roast.
Okay.
What about turkey?
When was the last time you did a turkey roast?
Too occasional, are you saying?
Way too occasional.
What about ham? Too occasional, are you saying? Way too occasional. What about ham?
Too occasional.
Yeah.
Fair?
Fair.
They're not involved.
When was the last time I did a roast lamb?
But yeah, fair enough.
Yeah.
I did a roast lamb literally like a month ago.
Did you?
Yeah, but oh, I did it.
A very 1970s of you.
I don't know if you could, it's still a roast if I do it in the slow cooker, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is it? Oh, is it? Or is it? Okay do it in the slow cooker, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Is it?
Or is it?
Or is it?
Okay, yeah.
I mean, still.
Yeah.
It's a pot roast.
Yeah, pot roast.
It's a pot roast.
I just want to get the gauge on, we need to rate them from the best.
Best.
To.
Worst.
The worst.
Yeah, sure.
So have a think about it.
I mean, this is going to be a bit difficult for Ella, and I've only just realised that, and also Claudia.
Yeah, we're not a very good sample size.
Oh, yeah, we've got a vegetarian and a vegan
in the greatest roast of all time.
I'm not going to force you guys to rate it if you don't want to.
I'm a slightly reformed vegetarian, so I can have an opinion.
You're a cheating vegetarian.
I'm judging.
Well, why don't you guys monitor the text machine then?
Okay, all right.
Okay, if you can text us, best and worst is what we want out of those four.
I think it's pretty easy.
Me too.
Do you as well, Claude?
Do you have like pretty low, strong feelings about this?
I have a number one and a did not place.
You're not allowed to vote for cauliflower.
Oh.
Yeah.
I mean, although roast cauliflower is delicious.
Roast onion is so good.
I'm just going to come out and say it.
I believe the correct order.
Do you want me to go worst to best?
Yeah, worst to best.
Worst to best.
Worst to best.
Worst, beef.
Next, chicken.
Then lamb.
Then pork.
That's it.
Signed, sealed, delivered.
Roast pork is your number one.
Are you crazy?
Of course it is. Of course it is. Have one. Are you crazy? Roast pork?
Of course it is.
Of course it is.
Have you never tasted crackle?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
No.
Sorry.
No.
Can I just say no?
That is not the reaction.
It doesn't feature in my memory at all.
Crackling.
I like pork belly.
Crackling is not a, yeah.
Yeah.
Crackling is one of the greatest things I've ever put in my mouth.
And I've put a lot of things in there. Yeah. Andling is one of the greatest things I've ever put in my mouth and I've put a lot of things in there.
Yeah. And that is one of the greatest things.
I guess I don't have a lot of good memories attached to it because we haven't
had it that often. So I'm not like, you know
food is like, a lot of it is
emotion and the memories that go around it. So I'm
going to go next.
Fourth, pork.
Pork's in laughs.
Third, lamb.
Second, beef. Oh my god. And first, greatest roast. Pork's in last Yep Third Lamb Second
Beef
Oh my god
And first
Greatest roast
Chicken
Roast chicken
It's the best one
Get it from the
Get it from the rotisserie
At the supermarket
You and I can't be friends anymore
Do it in the air fryer
No I'm disgusted
By that order
Roast chicken
I'm disgusted
No I like chicken
But it's not first.
It is first.
Now me.
Yes, Claudia, go.
I haven't had all of these meats, but my assumption, number four.
Wait, you're voting on meat you haven't even eaten?
Yeah.
Number four, pork.
Number three, beef.
Number two, lamb.
Number one, chicken.
Easy.
So we're closer.
We're closer in.
No, she put your number one at number four as well.
No, she put pork first.
No, she put it last.
You guys are wrong.
She put chicken at number one.
Yeah, chicken's number one.
Someone on the text machine said, Clint, what the hell?
I don't think I've ever had a roast pork.
You haven't lived.
Yeah.
And I'm not talking about a badly cooked roast pork.
I'm talking about when it's done properly, the crackling is crackling.
Like it is succulent.
I'm open to you making one and me trying it.
Oh, look, I'm not going to go that far.
Right.
You had lamb in number two, didn't you?
Lamb in number two.
If you do it properly.
You had beef in number four?
Beef is 100%, no doubt in my mind, in number four. if you do it properly. You had beef in number four? Beef is 100% no doubt in my mind in number four.
But in the slow cooker, like fall apart, sort of, you know, like yum beef.
Yes, producer Ella.
Do you want to hear my worst to favourite roast vegetables?
Yeah, yeah.
We're starting stupidly with carrot.
Yuck.
Get that gone. I like four carrots. You're only allowed to do four vegetables though. I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're starting stupidly with carrot. Yuck. Get that gone.
I like four carrots.
You're only allowed to do four vegetables, though.
I know.
Yeah, okay.
Then we're going, oh, courgette, love.
What?
Then we're going potato.
Hit me hard and soft, love.
And onion.
Get it in me.
No, that's wrong.
Do you want a little bit of feedback from the text machine?
I didn't diss you.
I thought it wasn't number one.
I didn't diss you.
Someone said, does Clint live in a cave?
Never had a pork roast?
What on God's green earth?
Then someone else said, it goes beef in last, then chicken,
then lamb, then pork, which is what I said.
They said, it's all you, Bree.
Clint is a criminal.
Where are my chicken people at?
Someone else said, Clint is nuts.
Pork is the best.
Chicken is the worst.
What about Ella?
She didn't put roast potatoes at the number one vegetable for roasting.
I missed that.
She put onions at number one.
You're too blinded by your hatred of my roast list
when you've got criminals like Ella out there putting onions ahead of potatoes.
Someone said, Clint's list is effed.
Chicken?
You put chicken?
Chicken.
At number one?
To be honest, I can look past the chicken in number one.
I'm a roast chicken kind of guy.
The beef in number two, I can't forgive you for that.
Beef in number two.
When you've got crackling in number four.
You said crackling is the worst.
No, I said it doesn't feature.
I wasn't
prepared to get this worked up today.
I'm with Clint. Love chicken.
Stop texting the text machine.
Bree and Clint.
The girls in the studio
are learning the dance moves.
I just hit my finger. It's very YMCA.
I've got a TikTok dance injury.
Put that on your ACC form.
Oh, no.
Oh, that hurt.
Love that song.
What a banger.
This sad really upset me.
It's quite brutal.
But I feel like most ghosting stories are quite brutal.
Yeah, they're never nice.
They're never nice.
No.
Some more brutal than others.
And I feel like this one is pretty gut-wrenching.
So a girl named Cora Hayes, who's originally from Melbourne, Australia,
but she was backpacking across Europe when she matched with a guy called Jack Online
and they met up in Edinburgh and they had this amazing first date together.
Okay.
So apparently she describes the date where they just clicked.
They had good energy.
They ended up getting matching tattoos.
Cute.
On the first date?
On the first date.
Okay.
I think it was actually the second day, the day after they met up.
But anyway, they got matching tattoos of a little lemon.
Yeah.
Very impulsive, very fun.
Yeah, very Europe.
Very hot.
Very Europe, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, she says that they had an instant connection
and they decided to meet up again after she had completed her trip around England.
Oh, okay.
So she had kind of said, look, I'm off to do this, this and that.
Love to see you again.
Would you be keen if I came back at the end and we hung out again?
Anyway, apparently he was like, yeah, absolutely.
Like, how about you come back to my hometown and we can hang out again?
Right?
Anyway, so she has kind of, I think, changed her plans a little bit to then-
Meet up.
Go via where he was to meet up again.
Anyway, two days before the flight, so she's paid her money, she's getting ready to go.
Two days before the flight, he kind of just blanks it.
Oh.
Just doesn't really hear from him.
Just stops replying.
Stops replying.
Two days before she's due to fly to his hometown.
Yeah.
Oh.
And she was like, what do I do here?
Like, I've already booked these flights, yada, yada, yada.
Anyway, she gets on the flight, goes to his hometown where he is,
or she assumes that he is
and she ends up exploring Edinburgh and having a good time anyway.
Sure.
Oh, it's not like some small, it's Edinburgh.
It's not like some small town.
No, no, no, no, no.
So she was like, I'm just going to go and then if he does get in touch
while I'm there, then wonderful.
If not, I'm just going to go and then if he does get in touch while I'm there, then wonderful. If not, I'm just going to go and have a good time.
So she did.
Anyway, he apparently was blaming the cancelled plans on family stuff
but later admitted that she came on too strong.
Oh.
And told her that it was because she came on too strong
and he ghosted her because of that.
But you invited her.
I know.
You invited her.
Look, it is fast.
It's pretty fast.
To reroute your trip and to go and stay with them after one or two nights.
But that can work.
And if you invited her, girl, it's not her fault.
Yeah, I feel like it wasn't just her being like,
oh, and then I'm going to, like, I feel like he said, yeah, do that.
Yeah.
Let's hang out.
And then changed his mind, maybe.
I feel like he's being a dick.
I feel like he's being a dick.
I feel like he's being,
you know how we talked to Abby Chatfield last week
about the definition of what an F-boy is?
I feel like he's being a bit of an F-boy.
Or she could have come on a bit strong
and he got freaked out a little bit.
True, we haven't seen the messages.
Yeah, we don't know.
Maybe she was like, maybe while we're there we could go wedding dress shopping?
Yeah.
Yeah, we don't know.
We don't know.
She could have been planning to have babies and be like,
I'm going to call our first son Edinburgh after where you're from.
Anyway, pretty brutal.
True, true.
Pretty brutal.
You only hear one side of the story, eh?
Yeah, exactly.
I thought we could put it out there on 0800DIALSATM
and I want to hear brutal ghosting stories.
Sure.
Maybe it was you that did the brutal ghosting to someone else
and there was a reason for it, or did you get brutally ghosted?
Is it still ghosting if you are in a relationship,
like if it's a long-term relationship?
Yes.
Is it ghosting to not show up to your own wedding?
Yes.
That's ghosting, eh?
And then if you don't hear from that person for a number of weeks,
a friend of mine, I was telling you off air.
If you don't show up to your wedding and shut down your Instagram,
that's ghosting, eh?
Yes.
A friend of mine was in a relationship for two years
and then all of a sudden just the person they were dating
broke all contact and then they just never really got an explanation.
Two years?
Two years they were dating.
What's that, TikTok?
Emotional damage.
Big time.
Bree and Clint.
Do you have a brutal ghosting story?
Maybe you did the ghosting
Or maybe you got ghosted
Oh, someone willing to admit that they ghosted out on someone
Have you ever ghosted anyone?
Nah
Let me just have a quick think
I'd like to give you an honest answer
Can I have a moment to reflect?
Yep
I don't think so
I don't believe so You don't i don't believe you know what that was convincing yeah well i'm trying to be honest with you i don't think so i don't think
i would uh no i don't think i would i definitely have have you yeah like things things peter out
like things have a natural you know the difference when it's happening totally but conversations like
not all people that you're talking to or flirting with or seeing there's not always like a like a
definitive ending to it right some things you just grow apart right right why am i just talking so
much can you say something i feel like i'm talking i'm just watching you figure out your past mistakes in real time.
If I ghosted you, I apologise.
Let's talk to Emily on 0800DALS.
Did Emily get her brutal ghosting story?
Hi, Em.
Hi, Em.
Hi.
Were you doing the ghosting or did you get ghosted?
I have ghosted someone, but that's not what this is about.
Okay, what happened, Emily?
Did I ghost you, Emily?
Is that the issue?
Pardon?
No, don't worry.
Carry on.
No, it wasn't you, Clint.
Don't worry.
Okay, phew.
So, well, not unless, I mean, once you hear this.
So, anyway.
It wasn't me, was it, Emily?
Again, once you hear this story, you're going to hope it's not you. Okay, tell us your brutal ghosting story, Em.
So, I matched with this guy on Tinder
and I was like, oh yeah, anyway,
we're talking, you know, we're Snapchatting, whatever.
That's fine. Anyway, he told
me he didn't have social media. I was like, okay,
that's a bit off, but whatever. And of course
we dug deep. Me and my friends, we all dug deep
to try and find him. We couldn't find him.
Anyway,
so he,
we were talking over Snapchat
And I kind of picked up on it
He'd only talked to me at night
So I was like, oh, haha
Are you with your secret family during the day?
Well, he opened that Snapchat
And then he, like, didn't respond
And then I seen another one being like
Like, I was joking
Anyway, he didn't open that
Oh my God And then, turns out he worked for Foodstuff Like, I was joking. Yeah. Anyway, he didn't open that.
Oh, my God.
And then it turns out he worked for Foodstuff.
Well, I had a friend that worked for Foodstuff.
And I was like, hey, do you know this guy?
He's like, yeah, I do, but that's not his name.
Yeah.
Oh, my God. So I looked him up.
He did have a secret family.
He had a girlfriend.
And I did.
No way.
How long had you been seeing him for?
Like a month.
So we were meant to meet up for drinks, but this was back when like COVID.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was like, oh, my flatmate's got COVID so I can't come out.
I was like, oh, that's okay.
Like we can go next week.
And then yeah, I said that.
If someone's living a secret life, COVID is the perfect excuse.
Emma, it wasn't me.
My family's not a secret. No. Emma, it wasn't me. My family's not a secret.
No.
Yeah, it wasn't me.
Promise.
And then my current flatmate, it turns out, she works with him or worked with him.
He left not long ago.
And she goes, oh, I don't think his girlfriend's so crazy anymore.
I was like, no, she's not.
I was like, no wonder she's freaking worried.
Wow.
New Zealand's so small, eh?
You can't get away with that. I'm a sister. You can't get away with that. Wow. New Zealand's so small, eh? You can't get away with that.
You can't get away with that. Wait, so Emily,
how it ended, you messaged her
and told her what was going on?
Yeah, and she said to me, it's not the first time.
Wow, interesting.
I sent her a screenshot of the profile, all that,
like, if I had any, like,
messages or anything that was saved on Snapchat,
like, I sent them to her. I was like,
here's his secret Snapchat.
Yeah.
I do love the pack female mentality.
Yeah, that's a mic drop moment.
I was going to say, once us females get together, look out.
Look out, we'll take you down.
Someone texted in and said, I did the ghosting.
I ghosted him and opted for a narcissist instead.
I crawled back to him and now have ended up together and we have a baby.
Oh, that's nice.
At least you could, you know, see your mistakes.
Someone else said I was in a relationship for three years.
I got ghosted for a month and after that month I got a message saying he was busy with work
but thought we should break up after I'd asked twice if they wanted to break up since I hadn't heard from them.
You were together for three years and then –
And he got busy at work.
And he got busy at work so just decides not to talk to you and ghost you.
What an a-hole.
That's a few months of therapy, right?
Just have the balls to break up with someone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly right.
You know?
Exactly right.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
Did you get brutally ghosted, Anonymous?
Yeah, I guess so.
Looking back, it was a good thing.
But, yep, an ex-boyfriend called me one day and said he had slept with his ex-girlfriend
and she was subsequently pregnant.
Okay.
What?
Turned out that was a lie and it was a standard ghosting story that he used to tell everyone
and he was dating another girl at the same time that we were dating.
So his ghosting get out of jail card was to say that he had cheated on you with his ex
and she was pregnant?
Correct.
Wow.
God, you dated a real D-bag, Anonymous.
That's why I said it turned out to be a really good thing.
I love how his way of getting out of the relationship
is not just to say, hey, I don't want to see you anymore.
It's to say, like, the worst thing possible.
I've cheated on you with my ex and she's pregnant.
That is somehow easier than, hey, I'm not really feeling it anymore.
That's such a brutal story.
Like, Anonymous, how did you feel when he told you that story?
Well, I guess originally I was like, oh,
obviously I didn't want to be in the relationship anymore.
I don't want to be in a love, not even a triangle.
No, Anonymous, you don't want to be with someone who cheats on you.
Not either.
And then all his friends told me there was a stand-up ghosting story.
He needed to say they are ex-friends.
Wow.
That's like premeditated.
He's like, practice that story on people.
Thank you, Anonymous.
Someone texted and said, my ex told me he couldn't talk to me or see me while the Tour de France was on and it goes for a month.
What?
That was just you can't see or talk to me while the Tour de France is on?
He ghosted you for the Tour de France.
Right.
Okay.
Gosh.
I wonder if I need to know more from that person.
From the Tour de France one?
Yeah.
Did you get back together after the race?
Did you actually buy that crap or did you like, you know,
did you stay with that person or were you like,
go and have your Tour de France?
Yeah, totally.
Also, who doesn't have time for, anyway.
One of that person's life is like, well, the Olympics are on.
I don't think it was about.
Oh, you think it was just.
I think there was an excuse.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Okay, we're going to do a birthday banger next.
If you want to know the number one song,
the day that you turned 16 years old,
you should give us a call now on 0800-DIALS-AT-M.
And Brie and I can use our supercomputer
to work that out for you.
Brie and Clint.
It's time for a birthday banger.
Brie and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Oh, Claudia said this is the thing she missed the most
about being away for a month.
It wasn't a Claude.
Yeah, I definitely said that.
She 100% said it.
She said it's her favourite segment by Country Mile.
Isn't that right?
Absolutely.
She lives to bang your birthdays.
So let's do Amy's first.
Hi, Amy.
Hi, Amy.
Hey.
You all right?
Are you concentrating, Amy? I am, yes. Okay, great. Hey. You all right? Are you concentrating, Amy?
I am, yes.
Okay, great.
Perfect.
All we need is your date of birth.
21st of February, 1994.
All right, Amy.
That means you were 16 in the year 2010 it was.
And we've done the calculations.
Here it is.
Timberland.
Timberland and Katy Perry.
What do you reckon, Amy? Yeah.
Yeah, that's my idea in a nutshell.
Totally.
That was the Timberland.
Very 2010, this, isn't it?
Yeah, Timberland era. Okay, wait there. We're going to do a bit of the banger for Chris. Hi, Chris. Howdy, Chris. Totally. That was the Timberland. Very 2010, this, isn't it? Yeah, Timberland era.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do
a bit of a banger for Chris.
Hi, Chris.
Howdy, Chris.
Hi.
What did you get up to
on the weekend, Chris?
Just family stuff.
Nothing too exciting.
Okay, okay.
Nice.
Good to hear.
Family man he is.
Family man,
what is your birthday?
24th of May, 1985.
All right.
That means, Chris, you were 16 in the year 2001
and this is your birthday banger.
Tune.
Bit of S Club 7. Chris, you a fan?
Yeah, it goes alright.
I feel like Chris was hoping for something a bit rockier maybe.
Don't lie, Chris.
Your foot is tapping.
Just like Clint's is here in the studio.
Oh, yeah, I've got the dance.
Yeah.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do one more birthday banger for Matt.
G'day, Matt.
Hi, Matt.
Hey, how you doing?
Good, thanks.
What do you do for your weekend, Matt?
PlayStation. PlayStation. What, how you doing? Good, thanks. What did you do for your weekend, Matt? PlayStation.
PlayStation.
What games are you running?
At the moment, I'm running Fallout 4.
Okay, yeah, I heard it's good.
I heard it's good.
I haven't got a chance to play yet.
Working on the PlayStation 10.
What's your date of birth, Matt?
I'm on 1972.
All right, Matty, that means you were 16 in 1988.
And if our calculations are correct, this is your birthday bag.
Oh, Maddie.
Awesome.
Guns and roses.
And the roses.
Matt, you can't go wrong.
No.
Okay, wait there.
That's my pick.
Yeah.
It's a classic.
I am voting for S Club 7 this afternoon.
I'd like Chris's song to win.
Matt's song, Guns N' Roses.
All day, baby, all day.
Claudia, on her first day back from holiday,
gets to pick the winner of Birthday Banger,
and you can go against us and pick Timberland
if you would like, Claudia.
It's completely up to you.
You have the pick of the litter.
Someone's going to be mad at me
after this.
Yes.
I will say,
this is my favourite segment,
but I'm very jet lagged
and I was falling asleep
a little bit.
But I did perk up
when S Club 7 came on.
So I think based on my tired schedule...
What would you have picked, Ella?
Obviously your one,
Sweet Child of Mine.
Oh, why don't we go with Ella?
Oh, got it. Chris, you did we go with Ella? I know.
Oh, got it.
Chris, you are the winner
of Birthday Banger today.
Congratulations.
Thanks, mate.
All good.
He would have picked
Guns N' Roses too, I think.
Bree and Clint.
Is it in Bree and Clint. I should never have been before, baby, last.
ZM, Bree and Clint.
The winner of Birthday Banger today is S Club 7 and Don't Stop Movin'. Can you just play a little bit?
Just a little bit of Guns N' Roses.
A little bit of Guns N' Roses, yeah.
For the people in the back.
Sweet job.
I don't even know the words.
Big fan. Big words. Big fan.
Big fan.
Big fan.
Brie and Clint.
And that is the end of the Brie and Clint show.
Let's go home and watch some Olympics, shall we?
That's all I do.
When I'm not at work, I'm watching the Olympics.
Can't wait for the rowing to start because that's our best chance of a medal.
There's other chances, isn't there?
Yep, the rowing, the kayaking, the canoeing, the sailing.
Just really want them to get out there in the boats so we can get some medals.
What type of, well, it's not just about winning.
It's also just good to get out and watch a bunch of different sports.
People at the top level.
Like, watch the gymnastics.
Says someone whose country of birth is second in the medals table.
Okay?
Mate, I'm watching.
We want some medals too.
I'm watching the women's gymnastics.
We didn't even qualify for the final.
I'm just watching it because it's awesome to watch.
Why are there no Aussies and Kiwis in the gymnastics?
We did have an Aussie team.
We just didn't make it to the final.
We're in the heats.
Yeah, right, okay.
We're in the heats, but yeah.
And we may have a New Zealand team too.
Sorry, I'm just not aware of who they are.
They could be.
We don't talk about them enough in New Zealand.
They talk about them more.
We don't profile the athletes enough.
What do you feel like, who do you feel like are the most impressive athletes at the Olympics?
Like, when you think about watching previous Olympics or these Olympics,
like, what athletes are you the most?
Probably the gymnasts.
The gymnasts are pretty bloody impressive.
Just the physiques that they command, which the swimmers have too, to be honest.
But there's a certain element of grace and poise and sort of rhythm to a gymnast that a swimmer doesn't have.
Swimmers are like brute force,
and then gymnasts have to bring it all together.
I just think it's the, what they're able to do with their body,
I just could never even imagine doing anything that comes near it.
I was at a dinner on the weekend, and a friend, first time, this will happen in all friend
groups around the country where the Olympics are on, but I heard the first one where someone
in our friend group said, I reckon I'd be good at that sport.
Maybe I'll go for that at the Olympics next time.
What sport was it?
It was the modern pentathlon, the one we talked about last week, which was horse riding, shooting,
swimming and running
everything eh
yeah yeah yeah
yeah alright mate
alright mate
everyone went
calm down
yeah you would be good
yeah you'd be great
yeah you should
you should do that
yeah
yeah give it a go
yeah
yeah go on

and we'll catch you back tomorrow
on the Brie and Clint show
bye bye
bye everybody. And we'll catch you back tomorrow on the Brie and Clint show. Bye-bye.
