Hello everybody, welcome to the Brianne Clint Podcast
and welcome to a Brianne Clint Podcast referendum, everybody.
A referendum? A re-forendum or a referendum?
No, the referendum was for weed.
Don't mind a re-forendum.
Well, I guess this kind of could be a reeferendum.
We're all doing brownies on the podcast intro.
No.
The creature in question hangs out at reefs.
It's a referendum on the podcast dolphin.
So while you're away, Bree.
Get rid of it.
Well, reserve your judgment, please.
I've been saying get rid of it for ages And I'm so glad when I saw this coming up in the podcast group
I was like, yes, get rid of it
So I think everything should always be up for review
If it's not working
And I just got this funny feeling
Matty said it to us actually
He said, why do you do the dolphin?
And none of us, we realised none of us could pinpoint
Why the dolphin was there it was
the awkward outros it was yeah well we had some historians podcast historians go through
old podcasts and pinpoint that thank you anastasia um the well she's really jumped the gun
well clint is actually in a professional referendum environment you've you actually
presented that information correctly.
Someone went and found the earliest sighting of the dolphin.
It was the first Brian Clint podcast of 2021.
That's when the dolphin first appeared.
And it was to replace the awkward outros.
Nah, I say bring back the awkward outros.
They're my favourite.
Well, those are two different referendums, okay?
Nah, bring them back.
There are two referendums.
Nah, see back The second one
You don't have a choice of
You just automatically do the awkward outro
The first referendum is keep the dolphin or not
The second referendum is
Do we replace the dolphin or not
I think it's important we focus on one now
Just one
Get rid of it
I've been saying it for years
So everybody will get their chance to have a say.
Yep.
But when you say why you want what you want,
you need to say why you want what you want.
Okay.
And you are the most impassioned, so you can go first.
I think we should get rid of the dolphin noise at the end of the podcast intros
because the best thing is when we don't have it
because Clint does the awkward outros,
and they are my favourite, and that is why,
and the main reason why,
but also it's kind of ear-piercing and annoying.
It is shrill, I'll give you that.
Quite shrill.
Okay, you've said your piece?
Yes, that's my piece.
Thank you, Brie.
Oh, jeez.
You didn't have to slap me in the face.
Next up in the dolphin referendum, producer Anastasia.
Yeah, I would like to agree with Brie's points made.
I don't like the dolphin at the end of the podcast.
I never have.
Bring back the awkward outros.
Yes.
Are you reading this off a screen?
Maybe even if we're getting rid of the dolphin,
get rid of the guy who presses the button.
Okay.
That's enough from you.
You've said your piece.
It's not a referendum on me.
This is not a referendum on me.
Oh, is that not what we're doing?
Sorry, did that just get personal?
I'd like to go next before it's a fait accompli.
So sorry to get ahead of you here, Ben.
Look, I'm on the fence and I'll tell you why I'm on the fence.
Because you're always on the fence.
Your bum has permanently got fence marks in it for being on the fence.
No, I'm decisive.
You're Mr. On the Fence Guy.
I'm decisive, okay?
No, you're not.
Watch this.
Stop it!
See?
To my reasons why I would, and I'm not saying this is my vote
My reason why I would vote to keep the dolphin
Is twofold
One, Anastasia put all that work
Into putting the dolphin on the
Image at the top of our podcast group
That's fine, it can stay there as a memory
Right, so if the dolphin goes it doesn't have to go from there
She's pretty keen for a refresh of that too.
I'm keen for a refresh. That's a different referendum.
It's going to be a busy week
of referendums.
The other reason is personal
and that's that it makes me look better
having that as a way to end the podcast.
No, I think, no, I will disagree
with you. I think having the awkward outro
makes you
more relatable and
humanised.
Good point.
This is my testimony.
Whereas the dolphin is kind of like
wacky radio stuff,
you know? And that's probably my biggest
point is why we should get rid of it.
You've made your points
and you were given as much time as you wanted.
I think you've got to work on that
What is that?
It's meant to be a judge's hammer
It sounds like a gunshot
Hello
Anastasia
Is that one better?
Anastasia open the door
Someone's knocking at the door
That one's better
With that said
I also would like the dolphin to go.
Oh!
Big news!
I don't necessarily know why I feel like that.
It's just a feeling inside me that says...
Because you're sick of doing zany radio on the podcast.
Our friend the dolphin has to go.
So I've said my piece.
I'd like to hear what Ben has to say.
What were you going to vote for?
I was going to vote for get rid of the dolphin.
Poor dolphin.
But I had a reason to keep it.
The reason to keep it was I've memorized the waveform that it makes
so I can easily get into the podcast when I edit it.
Oh, it's like an audio signature for you.
Oh, so that's actually an actual decent point.
So what if I ended the podcast each day by
making a dolphin noise with my mouth?
That would be fine.
That would be an
awkward outro. Yeah, it would be.
Also, we can get a better
dolphin sound.
No, that's not the question.
But I'm just saying if we're getting rid of it, then
get rid of it. It's not a good enough dolphin sound.
Okay, thank you, Ben.
There we go.
Well, it's a unanimous vote.
I did not think it was going to go that way.
Can I just say I tried to do this months ago.
I tried.
Yeah, well, trials take time.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
You weren't even here.
Well, now. No, I did it, thank you. You weren't even here. Well, now.
No, I did it before I left.
It was like last year.
Now it's time for the Dolphins' eulogy.
Would anybody like to say a few words?
I just want to say the main part Clint will miss of the Dolphin
is the blowhole.
Disgusting.
Disgusting. Disgusting.
I'm glad the dolphin is no longer locked up in the sound audio by it.
It's free.
It's free now.
It's not dead, it's free.
It's free.
Can I say some words in its native tongue?
Yes, please.
Sounds like a dog.
Before you say any words, can you step off that puppy, please?
Can you take my blowhole joke out of the podcast intro?
No.
Hang on.
No, no, no.
The blowhole is staying.
How does it sound again?
Are you worried some dolphins are going to be offended by that joke?
I'm worried I'm going to get a letter from the head of the dolphins.
Okay, if you guys are taking this seriously, I will.
Oh, dolphin. I took it will. Oh, Dolphin.
I took it seriously.
Oh, Dolphin.
I can't take this fucking seriously.
We barely knew ye.
Wow.
I loved you.
I thought we were moving away from zany.
Especially that blowhole of yours.
End it.
Play the sound.
He doesn't know what to do.
I know.
Everyone just leaves.
I will miss you every day.
Everyone just leave, Clint.
And when I look to the ocean, I will think of you.
Wrap this up.
Especially when I see a dolphin.
And when I do see a dolphin,
I'll look in its eyes.
And I'll know you're there.
Swim well, my friend.
And for the last time.
We voted to get rid of this thing.
He deserved one more splash.
He had to swim away like Vince did.
He had to swim away.
Enjoy the stupid podcast, everybody.
Yep, doesn't get more awkward than that
My time is up
3, 2, 1
It's Brie and Clint
Good everybody welcome to the show
It's Brie and Clint
We on baby.
Don't know why this felt topical today, it just felt like the right song to open with, you know.
Has he been up to anything recently?
He got one little fight and his mum got scared and said,
you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.
Oh wee joke, but it's not funny, is it?
It's not funny, is it?
No. It's serious.
It's quite serious.
It's serious.
We're going to pick over the carcass of the Will Smith-Chris Rock fiasco.
Dean McCarthy's on the show with us before four o'clock.
Will Smith has apologised, so we'll get the latest on that.
That will be very interesting.
Quite a long apology from Will Smith.
Yeah, it's decent.
Which I mean, probably fair enough.
I think so. That's long. It was a fairly
major mistake. I mean, yeah.
Quite a big one. Plus
Secret Sounds coming up today. Two shots
of that, four and five o'clock. And we've got
a concert announcement for you right now.
Zedding presents
Mimi Webb.

How good that gigs are finally coming back.
I am fizzing at the bung for this.
And tickets on sale Monday the 4th of April from Ticketmaster.co.nz.

Cam Mansell.
Cam Mansell is obsessed with Mimi Webb.
And, I mean, that was a huge song last year around Love Island time, I believe.
Yeah.
She's going to play Auckland's coolest little venue, the Power Station.
I say that with respect.
It's a big venue, but but you know, it's a great

Good work on remembering them all.
A good pack.
You know, you've got enough that I would forgive you if you were like,

Oh, Eden, that's right. My mum just blends all of us kids' names into one name.
Do they, does she?
Yeah.
Your mum doesn't do that to you?
My dad does.
Yeah, right.
There's always one.
Your opposition is here.

He's from the Garden City, and he's an apprentice builder.
Welcome to the show, Cameron.
G'day, Cameron.
How far through your apprenticeship are you?
I'm halfway through now, so second year.
Have they sent you down to Bunnings
for a left-handed hammer yet?
Nah, but a few stupid things like that
is always a good one.
They're hard to find, eh?
Oh, really hard to find.
Yeah, hard to find.
Yeah, pretty difficult.
Especially for the apprentice.
Okay, Cameron, your buzzer is tradie.
Lydia, your buzzer is lady.
First three points gets 50 bucks cash from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.

Fold them, let them, hit them, raise it.
Baby, stay with me.
I love it.

Poker face.
She's nailed it.
Nice work.
One to the ladies.
I feel like Cameron was right there behind you.
Question number two.
Timothee Chalamet has rocked the Oscars red carpet yesterday shirtless.
Which of these movies was he not in?
Dune, Call Me By Your Name or Twilight?
Trady.
Yes, Cameron.
Twilight.
Well done.
Nailed it.
Nice work.
Big Timothee Chalamole fans on the building site.
Are you, Cam?
Nah, not really.
But, you know, I just didn't think he'd be in a Twilight movie.
Well done.
Good guess then.
Yeah, good guess because he probably was 11.
Question number three.
I thought he is 11.
Yeah, well, he is.
Yeah, true.
He wouldn't have been born.
One apiece.
Question number three.
Will Smith has apologised for his outburst at the Oscars yesterday.
Who did he slap? Lady. Yes number three. Will Smith has apologised for his outburst at the Oscars yesterday. Who did he slap?

We're all tied up. Here we go, guys.
This is for the win.

Question number five.
Name an animal that is native
to New Zealand.
Yes, Cam, for the win.
He's got it. Not even.
I mean, low-hanging fruit with the Kiwi there, to be honest.
And the work site celebrates as it was a team effort.
Oh, they're loving it.
Now I have to buy lunch tomorrow.
50 bucks cash coming your way thanks to KFC.
Well done, Cam.
Nice work.
Bree and Clint.
Look, I've been away five weeks. I got back yesterday, and it was so good to beFC. Well done, Cam. Nice work. Bree and Clint. Look, I've been away for five weeks.
I got back yesterday and it was so
good to be back.
And then one of the team
here at the Bree and Clint show
made a statement, Clint,
that rocked me to my core.
I was here for this and as a fellow
elder millennial, I was
stopped dead in my tracks.
We were both shocked.
We, you know, we were just disappointed.
I think so.
So it's time for a round of unpopular opinions.
We were like Will Smith at the Oscars yesterday.
We were so offended.
We were shaking our heads.
We're lucky we didn't slap this person.
And that's why we do this segment, Unpopular Opinions.
And this one, I think, is smack bang right on the money.
Produce Anastasia.
We were discussing the movie franchise Bring It On yesterday.
Yeah, a great franchise.
I think we've got a clip of the original and the best movie,
the first one with Kirsten Dunst.
We all remember this film.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sexy.
I'm cute.
I'm popular to boot.
I'm bitchin'. I mean, it's just iconic. I'm sexy. I'm cute. I'm popular to boot. I'm bitchin'.
I mean, it's just iconic.
Iconic.
Iconic.
It was a huge moment in time.
Bring it on.
You know?
Huge.
The first, the original, the best.
Massive.
But Anastasia.
It's cold in here.
I said there must be some Toros in the atmosphere.
So quotable.
Producer Anastasia, what was the thing you said yesterday?
Bring it on number three, the Hayden Panettiere one with Rihanna
is the best bring it on.
You're saying that the original bring it on with Kirsten Dunst
isn't the best one?
It's not even the second best.
Yeah.
Look.
Boo.
Shame.
Boo. I. Boo.
Boo.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You guys, it's such a moment.
She moves to a different school.
She has to compete her own school.
Rihanna's in it.
It's not even the original cast.
Anastasia, in the first one,
there's a team that is creating all of these chairs
when they find out that their head cheerleader has been stealing them
from another team and then they meet at the cheerleading finals.
Clint, your point about a different cast,
that's another reason why it's better.
No, it's not.
Oh, my God.
Hayden Fettucere is better than Kirsten Dunst.
No, I'm sorry.
It's like saying Grease 2 is better than Grease 1.
That's exactly what I was like.
That's basically what you're saying.
There are many movies that the sequels don't compare.
Home Alone 3 is better than Home Alone 1 and 2.
That's just simply not true.
I'm saying this is the exception.
It's an unpopular opinion because this is an exception.
Well done.
You're correct.
It's an unpopular opinion.
It definitely is.
I thought you had a grip on reality.
Even number two might be better than number one.
What are you talking about?
We thought off the back of that and how far it's triggered us,
movies evoke passion.
So we should do an unpopular opinion movies edition this afternoon.
Yeah, this is where you're allowed to say, you know,
something that might be quite shocking to a lot of people. It's a board season
as well. Movies are the hot topic. Yes.
So, Brie, do you have an unpopular movie opinion?
Mate, I am so keen to
say this one and
I fully stand by it. Power of the Dog?
Is that what it's called? Yeah, you're going to say unpopular opinion.
Unpopular opinion, but
Power of the Dog, the movie
that has just been nominated for a bunch of films
and won a bunch of stuff at the Oscars,
is one of the worst, biggest pieces of crap I've ever watched.
Oh, boo.
Boo.
She's a Kiwi.
Boo.
She's a Kiwi.
I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Boo, get out, boo.
She has done some amazing work, but that movie was not it.
Not all amazing.
Did you see her speech with the Williams sisters? Including that that movie was not it. Not all amazing. Did you see her speech with the Williams sisters?
Including that.
That was not it.
Not good.
Ben, you got an unpopular movie opinion?
No, I've got one, mate.
I've got one for you.
Okay.
Hit us with it.
And I know you're going to get angry about this
because we did a whole thing about this movie.
It's kind of part of our...
I feel like the guy who's never seen any movies
shouldn't be having an input, but we'll listen.
The best, and I know you're going to Anastasia me for this one,
the best Back to the Future movie is the train one.
No, unpopular opinion.
Unpopular opinion, the best Back to the Future movie is the train one.
Get in the bin.
In the bin.
I liked it.
It had a different angle.
Have you even seen the others?
I've seen the first one and the train one.
Oh, my God. So you Have you even seen the others? I've seen the first one and the train one. Oh, my God.
So you haven't even seen them all.
I like the train one because it was like Back to the Future meets Wild Wild West.
That's what I liked about it.
It is not.
Producer Ben, he loves all films.
He doesn't have...
Yeah, I couldn't think of an unpopular film opinion.
It's okay, mate.
We're going to put it out to the people this afternoon.
Do you have an unpopular film opinion. It's okay, mate. We're going to put it out to the people this afternoon. Do you have an unpopular movie opinion?
Do you think maybe your movie taste is better than everybody else
because the opinion you have on a certain film,
nobody agrees with?
Yeah, it's unpopular and you're willing to stand by it this afternoon.
While we're here, Birdman, horrible movie.
Oh, what an award.
I don't care
it's got Michael
Keaton in it
just because
if you've got a turd
and you slap a badge
on it
doesn't mean
it's not a turd
maybe you love
a movie
everyone hates
maybe you hate
a movie
everyone loves
text them through
to 9696
or call us now
0800
dial ZM
free and clint
prepare to be
aggravated
by the opinions you're about to hear on this show.
They're not popular.
They're unpopular.
And you've got to remember that when you hear one, when you go, how could someone say that?
They're doing it for a reason because they know it's going to get a reaction.
But they genuinely believe these things.
It's like I Stand By What I Said, Power of the Dog, one of the worst films I've seen
in 10 years, I think.
Oh, you can't say that.
A lot of people are agreeing with me on the text machine.
Don't waste your time in Benedict Cumberbatch.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I haven't actually seen it, but I've heard it's very long.
He's a great actor, but the movie wasn't for me.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
It wasn't for me.
Let's get some of these unpopular opinions on the movie edition.
Holly's here.
Hi, Holly.
Hi, Holly.
Hi.
So you've got to say unpopular opinion, but,
and then you can say whatever you want.
All right, so unpopular opinion, opinion,
but Star Wars absolutely sucks.
Oh.
Oh, you can't say that.
It's got Tim Woodham Morrison in it.
He's a Kiwi.
I hate the Force not being with you.
That's cool, but I mean,
the only good thing about Star Wars is Jar Jar Binks.
Whoa, you're going to make some Star Wars fans angry.
I wish I'd seen it so I could comment.
Star Wars people hate Jar Jar Binks.
Yeah, I'm going to absolutely hop in front of my mum. She's a huge fan. Do you have a partner who has forced you to watch Star Wars? Is Jar Jar Binks. Yeah, no. I'm going to have some copper from my mum.
She's a huge fan.
Do you have a partner who has forced you to watch Star Wars?
Is that the issue?
No, no, my mother.
Oh, your mum made you watch it?
My mum.
I'm going to have some copper when I get home.
Yeah, right.
She listens and she'll know this is me.
Well, you've connected with Bree, so you've got that.
You've got my support.
Someone's texted and said,
unpopular opinion,
but Titanic is the worst movie of all time.
What?
What?
What are you watching?
What about unpopular opinion,
but Grease, the movie, I hate it.
Too cringe to watch and the characters are too old to be in high school.
Actually, that one's kind of accurate.
Some of the people in there
who are meant to be high school students
Yeah, it's like that I agree with.
They're like late 30s. They're like in their
mid 40s. Some of them are balding.
And they've probably got a job outside
How old was Rizzo?
You know, but when
I was watching it as a kid, I didn't pick up
on that and it's got a great soundtrack.
Ben's caught up
with his unpopular opinion. G'day Ben.
Hi Ben. Yeah, g'day guys.
Lay it on us mate. You can say unpopular
opinion and then whatever you want.
So, unpopular opinion
will definitely upset multiple
fan bases but
Harry Potter is basically a
rewritten version of Star Wars. You've got
an orphan child that has
been dropped to his aunt and uncle to be raised
by them. Some old guy comes and
picks them up, teaches them the ways of the Force,
which is Harry
learning at school, and then you get this older
guy, Dumbledore slash Yoda, he
teaches them a bit more, and then they're just trying to fight
the bad guys using the magic for the
bad in Voldemort slash Vader.
Oh!
Oh, Ben!
That's a very astute observation, but oh, come on, man.
That's blowing my mind.
Too many similarities there.
And I mean, I'm a Harry Potter fan and I was just ruining it for you.
Yeah, right.
I had it ruined for me, you know.
And who's Hagrid?
Is that Princess Leia?
Oh, yeah.
I think that's Obi-Wan Kenobi, maybe.
And who's the Jar Jar Binks?
Is that Dobby?
Yeah, yeah.
Another weird-looking thing with massive ears.
So, yeah, honestly, if you sit there and think about it for more than two minutes,
you'll probably have it ruined like I did.
Wow, that's interesting.
That's blown my mind.
Thank you, Ben.
What about the one that someone says, unpopular opinion,
but the first high school musical movie is the worst one out of all of them?
That's the good one.
I haven't seen high school musical, but...
I've only seen the first one.
Someone's texted and said, Bree, how can you hate Power of the Dog?
It's got Channing Tatum in it.
No, that's Dog.
That's the new Channing Tatum movie, Dog.
Different movies.
Different film.
Channing Tatum was definitely not in Power of the Dog.
That would have been a very, very different movie.
Yeah, it would have been.
He looked at the script and went, no way.
Something I feel like we should be talking about is Tesla drivers.
Oh, yeah.
What do they deserve talking about?
Oh, because they don't have to pay gas prices at the moment.
They're very topical.
Every time I see a Tesla driver at the lights,
I'm like, you smug prick.
I saw this Tesla driver driving past my local petrol station
just giving the finger to people.
He's on his way.
And I was like, all right, mate.
And we're only upset because we're jealous.
Yeah, very jealous.
Very jealous.
I mean, there's never been a time to be more jealous of Tesla drivers
or has there?
Because I don't know if you know this,
but Tesla drivers have been banned from something recently.
The gas station?
They're like, don't you come in here to buy your bread and ciggies?
Don't bring that car around here.
We're all jealous.
You don't need us for nothing.
Apparently, Tesla is recalling nearly 579,000 vehicles in the United States
as a result of the government agency's findings
saying that there's some stuff on the car,
there's a few bits and pieces that aren't legal.
Like what?
So they're saying there's a few things that are in violation,
which I don't know what the others are.
I just want to focus on this one main thing.
Sure.
I want to talk about the Tesla boom box.
Okay.
Which apparently on all Teslas,
and this was like an update,
a software update that they did in 2020,
where there's a speaker on the outside of the vehicle.
Do you remember we talked about this,
where you can put different sounds in there?
You can make the horn whatever
you want. Yeah.
One of the features when
they did the update was
that your car could make
fart noises.
And we've got a clip of a real Tesla.
This is a real Tesla and someone
testing out this feature.
Fart on turn signal. Fart on demand.
Well yes, we have quite a fine selection of some very nice farts.
We have not a fart.
We have short shorts ripper.
We have ludicrous farts.
We have nervous stink.
Wow, that's quite the range of farts.
Quite the selection.
But apparently they're saying very distracting to pedestrians and other vehicles.
So they're taking the farts away.
Oh, fun police.
I know.
Surely though with a Tesla you can hack it and you can upload whatever you want.
Like I imagine if you owned a Tesla,
you wouldn't be satisfied with any of the off-the-shelf farts.
I don't want generic, the ones that everyone else gets.
You want to upload your own file.
Yeah.
Right?
And that's why I can imagine you, once you get it, standing on the driver's seat, putting
your bum up to the rear-vision mirror where you think the Bluetooth microphone is, and
then you're like, am I in position?
Am I in position?
All right, are you ready?
Are you ready?
Record this.
Are we recording?
Are we recording?
And your partner's like, we're doing 100Ks on the motorway at the moment.
Sit down.
Yeah, feel the wind in your hair.
It's not from the highway.
Bree and Clint.
My partner's mum has a Tesla.
I might do that, actually.
Bree and Clint. It's time for the later. I might do that, actually. Bree and Clint.
It's time for the later.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, it has been a wild 24 hours since the Oscars went down,
and now Will Smith has apologised.
He's apologised.
This is what he said.
He went to Instagram, perfect place to do it,
and, you know, he said it's quite a long post, but a couple This is what he said. He went to Instagram, perfect place to do it. And, you know, he said, it's quite a long post,
but a couple of the highlights, he said,
I'd like to publicly apologise to you, Chris.
I was out of line and I was wrong.
I'm embarrassed by my actions.
I'm not indicative of the man I want to be.
He goes on to apologise to the Academy,
producers of the show, attendees,
everyone watching around the world,
to the Williams family, Serena and Venus,
and, of course, to, he said, my King Richard family.
I deeply regret my behavior.
It has been a wild
24 hours. I can tell you two things.
First of all, I found out that
actually he was going to be removed
last night after the slap.
But what happened was all the
producers running around frantically,
they couldn't get on the same page and get a consensus because there were some downstairs, some backstage.
And, you know, removing Will Smith from the Oscars as he's about to be nominated was such a huge thing to do.
They were terrified.
It was such a panicked moment.
And then today I found out, this is really crazy, that basically the 12 big members of the Academy,
it's made up, they didn't say who, but they said it's made up
by influential actors and directors,
so really big people like, you know,
Steven Spielberg kind of thing. They met
on a Zoom today, right, to discuss what
would be his, you know,
fate, next step. It was so
heated, the 12 of them could not
come to a resolution. So what
are the options, right? Are they going to remove
his Oscar? Probably not. Very, very
unlikely they'll take away his Oscar.
Extremely unlikely. But they have
in the past, I mean, they've expelled two
people in the past. One was obviously
Harvey Weinstein, and another person
was this other guy that used to sell the DVDs
before the movies came out. He'd get the movies
and then sell them. Hilarious.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
But now, I truly don't know what will be the fate of Will,
but they will probably have to have some type of reprimand.
What I found amazing, Dean,
was the footage that has come out of Will Smith at the after parties.
I haven't seen that.
Oh, my God.
You've got to look it up.
So there's video footage of him at one of the after parties
dancing to Get Jiggy With It with his Oscar in his hand,
like fist bumping, smile on his face.
I would have thought after a meltdown like that,
you'd go home and lick your wounds, right?
Wouldn't you think so?
You'd think so.
I can tell you what he did.
He actually got to the after party,
and I can tell you on the guest list,
it said Will Smith plus 20.
He brought 20 to the party.
I think that's hilarious.
That's just so shaky. Anyway, he gets to the party, pumping, dancing, dancing to That's such a, like, you know, that's just so shaky.
Anyway, he gets to the party, pumping, dancing,
dancing to Jiggy with it, living his best life,
which, by the way, went down like a lead balloon
for everyone who was extremely,
most people that were funded by what happened.
So just like you said,
you wouldn't think he'd be out partying,
but he lived his best.
Now, Chris Rock was supposed to be at that party.
It was the Vanity Fair after party.
And I don't think he actually went.
I've asked everyone.
I've looked everywhere. Doesn't look like Chris Rock actually went was the Vanity Fair after party. And I don't think he actually went. I've asked everyone. I've looked everywhere.
Doesn't look like Chris Rock actually went to the Vanity Fair after party,
but Will did with his family and all his entourage.
What a bizarre situation.
Thank you very much.
That is our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy,
reporting live for us out of Los Angeles this afternoon.
Bree and Clint.
Look, we could all agree weddings are a very fun time.
I love a wedding.
But they are also a very stressful time for some people at the wedding.
Yep.
Some people who had to organise everything,
spend heaps of money for this one special day.
The people who are paying for the wedding?
Yes.
The story out of Chile, Santiago,
which I think means whale's vagina.
An old wooden ship.
Old wooden ship.
A whale's vagina.
No, it doesn't.
You don't know?
It's just a place in Chile. A guy named
Alvaro Rodriguez
decided his
sister
was a little bit stressed before
her wedding day
and his sister and him
decided
to do some special brownies
leading up to the wedding.
In the weeks leading up to it. And they had a great time. Those adult brownies leading up to the wedding, in the weeks leading up to it.
And they had a great time.
Those adult brownies.
Yes, which I'm pretty sure in Chile they're legal
for personal consumption.
Okay.
So they had some brownies and they said it was a good time
and the sister joked to the brother and said,
oh, how funny would this be if the wedding cake was one big brownie?
How funny would that be?
How funny would it be?
Anyway, the brother decided that was a great idea.
So what he did was he spent 20 hours making one particular tier
because, I mean, how big is a wedding cake?
So big.
I think a classic wedding cake is like three tiers. Yes.
So I think he made the middle tier
where he spent 20 hours
decorating and
turning the middle tier into
a fun piece of
wedding cake. Right. Okay.
There was
most people who got
told about it
to avoid the middle tier if you don't want to party.
Yes, and for the kids to avoid the middle tier.
Yeah, that's a good point.
But a lot of people decided to go in for the middle tier.
It was shared around the wedding.
And turns out a great, fantastic wedding reception was had by all.
I'll bet it was.
You know, it's a good time.
Weird that it's only one tier as well,
so you and I could go and get a bit of cake from different tiers
and have completely different nights after that.
You definitely need permission from the bride at least
if you're going to do something like that to her wedding cake, right?
Exactly.
And I believe the sister did okay the idea in the end.
Okay, good.
And she was keen for it.
Yeah.
It's just there was some adults who got told, let's say...
Too late.
Maybe a little bit too late.
Yeah, and I get that too.
Yeah.
But they should be chill about it for the rest of the evening at least.
They were told about an hour and a bit later and they said,
that's all good.
That's all good, right?
Bro, how could you do this to me?
Put some beats on.
Don't worry about it, man.
It's all good.
Who wants to do the conga line?
Is any cake left?
It's a good time.
Anyway, I thought off the back of this story,
I wanted to ask people, on 0800DIALS at M,
we've all been to weddings and from time to time,
crazy stuff happens at weddings.
Like you never know what's going to happen.
And I thought we could ask for people's craziest wedding stories.
It might be a good outcome, might be a bad outcome.
Maybe everybody at the wedding got food poisoning at the exact same time.
There might have been an accident. There might have
been, you know, scandal.
There might have been something great happen.
Yeah, there could have been something like the best
thing ever and it went down at a wedding.
Someone could have spiked the wedding cake with
absolutely anything.
We don't know, but if you've got an outrageous
story from a wedding, we'd love to hear it
this afternoon.
You can call us on 0800DARLSATM or you can text us on 9696.
Did you notice how as soon as we play that music,
you and I both talk slower?
That and I had some special cake.
Oh, right, you had some of the wedding cake.
We're talking about this guy from Chile who decided that he would make one of the tiers of his sister's wedding cake into a special tier.
Special.
Special brownie type concoction wedding cake.
You know, party cake.
It was a weed wedding cake, okay?
That's what it was.
It was a weed wedding cake and apparently it went down very well.
Everyone had a great time.
But not everybody knew.
Not everyone.
So we're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALS.M,
what's your craziest wedding story?
Mel's here.
Hi, Mel.
Hi, Mel.
Hey, how are you?
Was it your wedding?
It was my wedding.
Okay, what happened?
So I got married at quite a nice vineyard wedding venue.
Congratulations.
And, well, the marriage is long over.
Oh, okay.
All right.
That's right.
Anyway, that's not part of it.
We had three separate instances of indoor gardening.
You're kidding me. You had three groups doing the rumpy-pumpy at your wedding?
Yep, and one of them was on a policeman's car.
Please tell me you and your ex-hubby weren't one of them.
No, we definitely weren't one of them.
What do you think it was about your wedding
that turned all these people into Randy Horndogs?
All the oysters they were serving.
Yeah, was it oysters or champagne?
All the bubbles, I think.
Yeah.
The bubbles might have been part of it.
Wow.
Well, there might have been some babies conceived at your wedding.
Oh, God, I haven't even tried to work that out,
and I don't want to
Some grapes were sowed
Let's not even get into why there was a police car at your wedding
Jess is here, g'day Jess
Hi Jess
Tell us, what is your craziest wedding story?
We were overseas at a wedding in India
The bride was Indian and the groom was German
and so it was
a multi-day thing. All
the white people got food poisoning,
including the groom, and during
one of the very elaborate
ceremonies, the bride was sitting in this
beautiful sari in the middle
of this sort of like pavilion and he was
walking around her and he threw
up and he had to keep walking
all over himself,
all over her.
No! He just
kept going because he didn't want to
ruin the ceremony.
What do you mean?
I think the ceremony's
already ruined. I get what you're
saying though. He's like, I don't want to offend your culture.
I don't want to offend all your
family that I've travelled over here to see.
So I'm just going to.
He soldiered through it.
You may now kiss the bride.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
That's terrible, Jess.
That is a wild wedding story, though.
That is.
Someone else texted through and they said, I went to a Mormon wedding.
The wine was alcohol removed,
but the host didn't realise that it was 100% alcohol free.
And all these Mormons who had never drank before got very drunk.
It was an amazing party.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine?
They would probably just think they were high on life.
They were like, this is the best wedding I've ever been to.
I feel like I can do anything.
Pass me some more of that non-alcoholic wine.
I feel really good.
God, that stuff is delicious.
Give me more, man.
I love it.
So good.
Someone else said a bunch of their groomsmen
let off a bunch of fire extinguishers in the kitchen
and the dance floor at their wedding.
See, that one's risky
because you might get kicked out of your own wedding.
But I mean, fun.
Smoke show.
Finally, Anonymous, what's your crazy wedding story?
Hi, guys.
So it was my wedding.
We had an open bar, which was a great time.
One of the guests was an ex-adult dancer.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And ended up giving my dad a lap dance in front of all our family and friends.
Oh, woo, woo.
Wait, how did the dad, how was the dad the one that went,
I put my hand up for this, I'm keen on this?
Or your father and bride?
I don't know how it came about, but it was pretty legendary.
I bet it was.
Go dad.
Was there clothes that were taken off or just, you know?
I think the jacket and the tie might have come off,
but that might have been about it.
Oh, his clothes.
Whoa, okay.
Yeah, so she was undressing him.
Yeah, she had the right idea.
Wild wedding, wild family.
Good job.
Bree and Clint.
But first, it's time to guess that voice.
Here to help us guess that voice is producer Anastasia.
Hi, Anastasia.
Hi, guys.
Anastasia, that's Anastasia's voice.
I was going to say that.
Too slow, mate.
Here to play with us is Tony.
Kia ora, Tony.
G'day, Tony.
Hello.
Tony's voice.
Oh, damn it.
Team Bree or Team Clint, Tony?
Team Bree.
Team Bree, Lockton.
Yes, Tony, welcome aboard.
That was the worst from you, Anastasia.
No, you do the next one.
Lucy.
Lucy's here.
That's Lucy.
That's Lucy.
I got it.
Low-hanging fruit.
Yes, good team.
Good team effort.
Lucy, much like my wife, you're stuck with me, okay?
I'm stuck. Good. Good. That's much like my wife, you're stuck with me, okay? I'm stuck.
Good.
Good.
That's what Clint's wife tries to say sometimes.
I'm stuck.
But he doesn't believe it.
Anastasia, what's the rules?
So the rules, we did some good demonstrations before.
You just have to guess a famous person's voice
and the first person to buzz in with the correct name
wins them and their team a point.
First to three wins.
I feel like I've used up all my good guesses.
No, you got this.
Normally I tell you a theme, but this week I think it's going to be a bit obvious,
so you'll just figure it out as you go.
Okay.
Are they all Will Smith?
Awkward.
Can you guys, okay, just play voice number one.
Will Smith.
No.
Okay, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes.
This is a... Break. Will Smith. Damn here it comes Here it comes This is Break
Will Smith
Damn it
Damn it
Beautiful moment
And I'm not
I'm not
I'm not crying
For winning an award
It's funny
You were too busy
Making the joke
What about how I
Seen Will Smith first
You made the joke
Yeah
We actually actioned it
Well done
Yes
Alright that's a great point
Okay one to Tony and I Let's hear voice number two Uncle Phil made the joke yet. We actually actioned it. Well done. Alright, that's a great point.
One to Tony and I. Let's hear voice number two.
Uncle Phil.
No. That was a really niche joke. You're going to be
a little... It's not that niche. It's literally his biggest
show. Yeah.
Alright, voice number two.
I'm going to.
Bray, Chris Rock.
That was a greatest night in the history of television.
She's on fire.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Who else is involved?
Did you not see the clip yesterday?
I'm actually enjoying this.
Okay, one more guess before the game.
Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Voice number three.
Let's hear it.
I'm a little sad.
Break.
Jada Pinkett-Smith. Voice number three, let's hear it. I'm a little sad I'm never going to... Jada Pinkett-Smith?
No.
Clint Willow-Smith.
No.
Would you like to hear it again?
Let's hear it again.
We're getting ahead of ourselves now.
I'm a little sad I'm never going to get a you up text again.
Is it Amy Schumer?
You've won the game, Brie.
Not like they were rolling in, but it was nice.
Did you guys hear the joke she did about Leonardo DiCaprio?
No.
Oh, it was overshadowed, obviously, by the Will Smith stuff.
Yeah.
Look it up.
Did Leonardo DiCaprio get out of the audience and assault her for the joke?
No, I think he sat in his chair.
Oh, did he take it on the chin like you're supposed to?
Hey, Tony, you've picked up the KFC chicken dollars.
Nice work, mate.
Awesome, thank you.
No worries.
Sorry, Lucy.
Much like my wife.
I'm sorry, Lucy.
You've disappointed her.
No worries.
Much like my wife, I have let you down again.
And it was only in a matter of minutes.
Even that's a stretch, Bree.
Unlike my wife, this Lucy didn't want me to come second.
Okay, can't play it big time, eh?
Let's go.
Let's go to the song.
Bree and Clint.
Look, I know I went MIA for five weeks.
We all know.
You know, I left you to run the ship here,
and I felt bad because you're one of my good mates,
and I thought, what can I do to make it up to my mate Clint?
That's nice of you.
This is not necessary, but that's nice.
No, but I like to do those things, make sure that you know that you're loved.
Okay. No, but I like to do those things. Make sure that you know that you're loved. And I thought to myself, if I could get anyone,
anyone on the show that would make Clint's day,
who would that person be?
Dan Carter.
And that's where I say, welcome to the show, Dan Carter.
No, really?
That's right.
Dan Carter is launching the DC10 fund for the 24-hour kick-a-thon,
and he is joining us right now.
You are welcome, mate.
Clint, take it away.
I wasn't sure if you guys were stitching me up or not.
I'm not sure if Clint wants me.
I'm not joking, Dan, when I say I have had to listen to Clint go on and on about,
can we get Dan Carter on the show?
When's Dan Carter coming on the show?
And finally, you're here, and it's for something super exciting, mate.
Oh, it is.
I'm going to have to get you guys to come down at some stage
through the 24 hours.
Wait a minute, Dan.
Did you just say you want Clint to come down and have a kick with you
for the kick-a-thon?
I don't know about a kick, but I've seen him behind the decks,
and he could actually bring some decent vibes at some stage
because I'm going to need some good music
so I might call upon your DJ
and pro-wrestlers at some stage
through the 24 hours
to help me get through, brother.
That'd be my pleasure, mate.
Talk to me about the kick-a-thon.
What's the deal?
I say it with this real,
like I should be really excited about it
but then I go straight to the event
where I'm going to attempt to kick goals
straight for 24 hours,
no sleep, just crank it out at Eden Park.
And I've been training quite vigorously the last six months,
but the last three weeks I've been doing four-hour, five-hour, six-hour kicking sessions.
I'm absolutely buggered.
But then I think about the impact of the children in New Zealand and in the Pacific Islands.
I launched a charity called the DC10 Fund,
and I partnered with UNICEF,
and I've picked a couple of fantastic projects
around providing clean water to children in the Pacific in particular.
Yeah.
Mate, what a great course.
Mate, is there anything you can't do?
You are the best rugby player in the whole world,
and you're a bloody great guy who's doing something
that is so important and so amazing.
Is there anything you can't do, mate? Oh, there there's lots that's why i really focus on things like kicking
and being a good person because i can't sing i can't dance show them the highlights package
show them the lines to a 2005 they don't even know it's funny that because um it's actually
my son's birthday today marco all his friends think that I'm a YouTube star.
Like I've retired from rugby and now I'm a YouTube star
because I have highlights on YouTube.
So they can watch me on YouTube.
But he's like, oh my God, he's not playing rugby anymore
because he's focused on his YouTube career.
I don't want to bring up dark memories,
but worst case scenario.
What are you going to say?
We'll say 2011 happens again during the 24 hours.
You sound like Wayne
Smith. We've been harping on about
this in that moment.
He's so nervous. Have you got a
deputy and do you need one? Would you
like someone to step in in that situation?
I'm reaching out to all my
ex-teammates, guys that can kick goals
the likes of Stephen Donald
who saved us
in 2011.
There's a lot of other ex-all-black kickers. That's what I was thinking.
No, Dan.
I was thinking ex-players.
Sorry for laughing, but the look on Clint's face
was he was hoping it was going to be him that got the call-up.
Was he putting his hand up?
He was.
He was putting his hand up.
The shoulders went back.
He was like, I'm here if you need me.
Don't know if you know, Dan,
but I played Locke in the Under 85s competition
so my kicking...
Very average.
Dan, just to let you know.
Locke kicking goals is the only else
that's possible. I don't know how
many goals your carved muscles could
kick, Clint, but I'm willing to
see if we take you down to Eden Park.
Hey Dan, what a fantastic cause
and great to chat to you on the show, man.
Whatever we can do to get behind the kick-a-thon, we're there, man.
We'll help you out in any way we can.
Thank you so much.
You can actually just jump onto dancarter.com forward slash kick-a-thon.
You can see all the information where the donations are going to be going in the Pacific
and the kids here in New Zealand.
Such an amazing cause, the DC Team Fund.
With Dan Carter, he's going for the kick-a-thon, 24 hours. Hopefully
you can walk still after
it, Dan. Yeah.
I don't know. It's been done before
so I'm going into new territory
so we'll see whether this old
rig of mine can handle it or not.
Dan, Clint's
always wanted to tell you this.
Go on, tell him.
What's that?
This is what you always say in the studio.
What's that?
Tell him the thing that you want to tell him.
What do I want to tell him?
You love.
You love Danny.
Good luck, Dan.
Love you, bro.
Love you too, Clint.
You've had a near-death experience, Brie?
Yeah, I have.
Have you?
Yeah.
Does it change your life?
Like after it happened, were you like, that's it, I'm going vegan or something?
I think I was quite young.
I was about 10, so I don't think I was.
Is this the home invasion?
Yeah.
You've told me about this. Yeah.
Me, my mum and my nan were involved in a home invasion. I mean, some people might not say
that's a near-death experience, but...
No, I think it is. I think it's in that category.
Any time where you think you're going to die
I think counts. My near-death
experience, I was very young too
and so I think it doesn't...
I think if you are young, it has
less of an impact. It's not the same effect, yeah.
Because what are you going to change as a kid?
You're going to go,
that's it, no more cartoons for me.
I'm getting a piercing.
I'm going to carpe the DM.
Yeah.
There is a story out about someone
who I say lived through,
everybody lived through it,
but they were a part of that.
Do you remember in 2018
when everybody in Hawaii got that text message to say
that there was a nuclear missile strike coming?
Yeah.
Do you remember that?
I do, yep.
So everybody who lived there got one of those alert texts
that you get on your phone, one of those warning system things.
Which is scary at the best of times.
And it said a nuclear missile strike was imminent.
So if you lived there, there was a nuke coming.
And I don't know what you're supposed to do with that information.
Because you can't get to higher ground when it's a nuke.
It's not like people have, you know, bomb bunkers in their houses either.
No, especially in Hawaii.
Yeah.
It took 38 minutes for them to update that message
and say, sorry, false alarm.
Because the message should have never gone out.
There was no missile ever coming.
It was this thing that was loaded up just in case
and it should never have been released.
But for 38 minutes, those people thought they were going to die.
Do you think in that, I mean, it's not something to laugh about
because it is horrible, but do you think they knew
but they were just trying to be like, okay, well,
we've really stuffed up here,
and they took 38 minutes to write.
How do we deal with this?
How do we retract this properly?
Can we write JK lol?
Jokes.
I don't think that would have went down well.
No, they had to own it, and people were very angry, rightly so.
Someone has put out this tweet recently.
They said, my brother lived in Hawaii
when this happened. His
neighbour, when they thought they were going to
die, got into a bathtub
with a mattress over his head
it's going to save you from the nuke,
took a shot of whiskey and texted
his ex-girlfriend that he still loved
her just in case they all
died. No!
It was a false alarm on the nuke, but they got back together.
No, they didn't.
Yeah, they did.
His near-death experience got him back together with his ex-girlfriend.
I love that story.
They could make a movie about that.
Thank God it went that way and he didn't go,
I'm going to die, it's time to tell my ex-girlfriend what I really think of her.
Yeah, it's time to send out some texts to some people. It's time to drop some truth bombs before the nuke gets here. It's time to tell my ex-girlfriend what I really think of her. Yeah, it's time to send out some texts to some people.
It's time to drop some truth bombs before the note gets here.
It's time to let out the secrets.
But yeah, he looked his near-death experience in the eye
and said, this is what I want and made it happen.
And there's a happy ending.
They ended up getting back together.
I love that.
And it does, I guess, I would assume,
like send you into this kind of mode where you think about,
okay, what's the most
important? Yeah. What's the most important thing? Totally. You know? I wondered if we could talk
about that this afternoon. People who have had a near death experience, what did you do afterwards?
What did you do because of that near death experience? And did it change your life for
the better or for the worse? Yeah. did it catapult you into something amazing
or did you make some decisions after it that you're like,
I don't know about those.
Yeah, did it force you, did it send you back into a great relationship
or did you go, life is short, I'm going to blow my life savings
and then it turns out, oh, life's not actually that short
and I wish I still had some money.
I'm going to buy that car that I've always wanted
and put it on a credit card.
Oh, $800 at M.
You can text us on 9696.
We want to know this afternoon,
what did you do after a near-death experience?
I'll wait for these.
Bree and Clint.
We're talking near-death experiences
and what that can do to you,
what that can make you realise about life
and make you do.
We talked a story about a guy who was in Hawaii when they did the fake, well not fake, the
false nuclear missile strike text message and for 38 minutes everybody in the area thought
they were going to die.
He hid in the bath with a mattress over his head, took a shot of whiskey and texted his
ex and said, I still love you.
And they got back together.
They survived and they got back together.
I love that story.
I think very cute.
Someone on the text machine said they were in Hawaii when that text message got sent
out.
Can you imagine?
What would you do?
What would you do in that moment?
You think the end is coming.
It's call friends and family, right?
Yeah.
It'd be cool.
Yeah.
FaceTime anyone you could.
Tell people you love them.
Then get butt naked
and run down the middle of the street.
Yeah, just crazy stuff.
We're all going to die!
Post some nudes online, you know.
We're getting some good texts on this.
Stefan has messaged in.
G'day, Stefan.
Hello, Stefan.
How's it going?
You had a near-death experience.
What happened to you?
Well, we went to the lake with my dog
and threw the tennis ball in
and he decided not to
get it and thought he was going to drown a bit
so I went in to save him and then
he was jumping all over me and we both thought
we were going down and we, yeah,
got out of it and thought we deserved
an ice cream afterwards.
Wait, you nearly drowned with your
dog as you needed experience and so
you went and got some ice cream?
Yeah, I thought we deserved it. Mate, what kind of dog do you need to get experience and so you went and got some ice cream yeah i thought we deserved it mate what kind of dog do you have stefan oh chocolate uh black lab oh yeah yeah
that is terrifying you keep that dog out of the lake now nah he loves the water he's a water dog
he needs to know where his skill set lies okay stefan good work man melissa's here hi melissa
hi melissa hi how's it going good thanks um did you have a near-death experience A whim. He needs to know where his skill set lies. Okay, Stefan, good work, man. Melissa's here. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Melissa.
Hi, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Did you have a near-death experience?
Not me.
My daughter, a few years ago, had a horrible near-death experience
because she'd always been busting our balls for years to get married.
Her and her dad finally got married after 18 years being together.
Oh.
Wow.
Melissa, that's awesome.
I love that story.
Oh, I know.
So cute.
It would make you take stock, eh?
You or anybody that you love like that,
if you come close to losing them,
you'd go, well, what's important?
What do they want?
Did she ask for anything else?
Was she like, and you know what else I've always wanted?
A PlayStation.
She already has one of those.
Yeah, right, right, right, right, right.
Because if you haven't had any of the experience,
it's probably good to milk that for all it's worth, right?
Yeah, be like, while we're at it, now that you're married,
you know, let's add a few more things to the list.
I'd love a pool.
Oh, don't worry, she gets everything.
Oh, yeah, I get that.
I love that, Mel.
Well, congratulations to the whole family, Melissa.
What a beautiful story.
Very cool.
Thank you so much. You're welcome, mate. Someone's texted in about whole family, Melissa. What a beautiful story. Very cool. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, mate.
Someone's texted in about having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy
that went undiagnosed until they needed emergency surgery
for internal bleeding.
That is terrifying, right?
You know, I was just telling you off air,
that exact thing happened to my mother.
Yes.
In between having me and my brother,
she had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy
and she was going to die.
And I remember she's told me the story so many times and it's just,
so we lived in a rural area and in the hospital, in the town hospital,
they were like, she's going to die here.
We need to get her to the closest bigger hospital.
Yeah.
But there was such
bad storms around that the helicopter couldn't get off off the helipad so they put her into this
ambulance and they've started driving and they get to this certain point where there's just
water just screaming across the road and the ambo is like saying to my dad we're losing her like
there's nothing i can do and it was actually actually a semi-trailer, a truck driver who stopped
and then they were talking about it and they're like,
he's like, I will unhook my trailer and we will put her up
into the cab of this truck and we will try.
He's like, it might not work but we've got to try
and they've pulled her up into the cab of this truck
and they've driven through this giant wall of water
and they made it to the hospital and my mum is still here today.
Wow.
Yeah.
What did she do after her near-death experience?
I'm pretty sure she got, I think, I actually don't know.
Did she make a big life change?
Probably.
My mum is that type of person,
but I think that's probably something that's really made my mum who she is,
and I think she always sees the best in everything and lives in the moment.
And, you know, it could be from that experience.
Far out, man.
That sort of stuff puts everything in perspective, right?
It does, hey.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Before we do that, we've got a birthday banger coming for you.
Three people's birthdays.
What was the number one song on their 16th?
And then we'll pick our favourite out of the three.
Kia ora, Paige.
Welcome to the show.
Hi, Paige.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Oh, I'm tired and it's only Tuesday, but I'm all right.
What have you been up to that makes you so tired?
I love an honest answer.
Work, just doing the mahi.
What do you do for mahi?
I'm a full-time mum.
Oh, you have every right to be tired, Paige.
I am not going to argue with you, Paige.
I hear you on that.
We will agree and move on.
What's your birthday page? So my birthday
is the 7th of October
1997. Okay, mate.
You were 16 in 2013
and on the 7th of October
your 16th birthday, this was
number one.
Sounds like maybe
your kid.
That must have been a hard 16th birthday with that song.
This is the song your kid plays as they run into the bedroom
at seven in the morning?
Yeah.
You ruined my life.
Whoa.
Let me sleep till 7am, for God's sake.
Thanks, Paige.
Wait there, Norman's here.
Kia ora, Norman.
Hi, Norman.
Kia ora.
How are you going, Stormin Norman?
Yeah, that's what they call me.
I like it, Norman.
That's the one, yeah.
Good to have you on the show.
How's your day been, Norman?
Absolutely exhausting.
Tell us about it.
Talk us through it.
What's been going on, Norman?
Just sell, sell, sell. What are you selling? What do you going on, Norman? Oh, just sale, sale, sale.
What are you selling?
What do you sell?
I'm a manager at Bridgestone Tire Centre.
Oh, show me the money, Norman.
Where the rubber hits the road, right?
That's correct.
Oh, I feel you, Norman.
Well, let's put a bit of pep in your step with a birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
Sure.
20th of June, 1976.
So, yeah, I'm a bit of an old fart.
With your accent, that could have sounded a little bit different.
You were 16 in 1992.
And, Norman, here's your birthday banger.
Criss Cross.
Or as they say where you're from, Norman, Criss Cross.
Criss Cross. Criss Cross. I detect the South African accent're from, Norman, Criss Cross. Criss Cross.
Criss Cross.
I detect a South African accent.
I love it, Norman.
You're great.
Do you like it?
Do you like this for your birthday banger?
Yeah, I love it.
It's a good one.
Yeah, I think it's cool, man.
Okay, wait there.
We'll do one more Fiona.
For Fiona, Kia ora, Fiona.
Hi, Fi.
Kia ora.
Tell us, Fi, honest answer, how are you?
Oh, tired.
I love it.
We got three from Fi.
Tired vibes around the country at the moment.
Tired, exhausted, tired, and it is relatable.
I wish the guy who sold tyres said he was tired.
Oh, that would have been good.
Real missed opportunity from Norman.
Yeah, it would have been good.
Fi, what's your birthday?
3rd of October, 1964.
Now, before we get into it, Fi, I want to ask,
is there anything in particular that you're really hoping for?
Any artists?
I kind of thought Michael Jackson, but then I'm trying to wreck my brain.
I'm pretty sure he was around.
Maybe Prince.
He had a few number ones.
So we're looking at the year of 1980 and the 3rd of October.
Yeah.
I think you're a bit early for MJ, but...
I think you're going to be very pleasantly surprised
because, Fee, in 1980, on your 16th birthday,
this was top of the chart.
Another one bites the dust.
Woo!
Banger!
Another one bites the dust. Forget! Banger! Another one bites the dust.
Forget Prince, you got Queen.
Yeah.
Please tell me you like Queen, Fee.
Oh, yeah, I love Queen.
Yes!
Good, because that's my vote to win Birthday Banger this afternoon.
As if I'm not voting for a better Queen.
Lock it in.
Well done, Fee.
You, today, are the birthday banger champion.
Awesome.
Enjoy it, mate.
Here it comes.
Your birthday banger out of 1980, which makes it 42 years old.
Yeah, and just think, everyone is tired.
So this day, another one bites the dust, baby.
Oh, that's gold radio.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
Put it in the radio awards.
I thought after yesterday's controversy at
the Oscars, of course I'm talking
about Chris Rock and Will Smith,
we should get the opinion of someone
in the industry. You know, Chris Rock
is a comedian who is doing his job,
and last night he got assaulted by a member of the audience.
So who do we know who has a very punchable face?
And that is Guy Williams.
Hey, that was harsh but fair, but fair.
That's what I love about you guys.
You're very fair.
Okay, good.
Semi-professional comedian Guy Williams joins us this afternoon.
Guy, first of all, what did you make of yesterday and the Oscars?
Did you watch it live?
Did you see it happen?
First of all, Clint, I'm not semi-professional.
I'm no longer getting paid, so I'm back to fully amateur comedian.
Oh, you've regressed.
Okay, yeah.
I saw it yesterday because everyone saw
it.
I was in the office
having a meeting
and everyone stopped
what they were doing
to watch this clip.
Like people literally
huddled around computers.
It is crazy how this
went around the world
and it like,
honestly,
like I reckon
changed people's days
because I couldn't be
productive after I saw
it.
It was so bizarre
and so weird.
It took up so much space in my
mind for the last 24 hours and we're still
talking about it. And our Facebook and
Instagram. I know, it's inescapable.
I want to ask you this, Guy, because you
are a comedian. It is a job.
Chris Rock was doing his job, right? He's
poking fun at a room full of people
who were there taking themselves very
seriously in a ceremony
of self-congratulations.
It was his job to poke fun at the people in the room, right?
Yeah, it absolutely was his job.
And absolutely, it's not okay to slap someone in the face.
Even if they said worse things than that, you don't hit people.
I know this is a lesson for maybe some people out there,
but it's just a general rule is try not to hit people. I know this is a lesson for maybe some people out there, but it's just a general rule is try not to hit people.
Those are my main.
Don't show anyone my willy who doesn't want to see it
and don't hit people.
Those are my main rules for life.
It's a good mantra.
Guy, I'm very interested to know,
because we joke about you being hit in the face,
but have you actually ever been struck in the face
because of a joke you made? No!
No! This is not
normal, and how annoying
do you think I am that
someone would actually hit me in the face? Also,
I'm a very fast runner, so no one can hit me
in the face. Yeah, and you're very tall. It's hard to get
up there. There's a poll on stuff.co.nz.
Do you want to hit Guy Williams in the face?
You do not want to hear the results, man.
No, 95% said
absolutely. So you haven't
though. There's no one's crossed that line
because surely you've offended some people with
jokes before. That comes with the territory,
right? Yeah, and I've heard,
I don't know, I mean, obviously this
happened in real life, but it has
increased in the last couple of years and it is a
problem. For me
least of all, but for a lot of
comedians out there and just people in general you don't have to be a comedian just people online now
will like threaten you or want to beat you up or do a death threat over nothing you know you just
do a tweet or a joke um you don't have to do a tweet or a joke just be a woman online or be a
minority online it's just crazy i don't know what's going on but i don't know it's covid or the wars or trump or what it is but a lot of people have just lost um touch
with reality and unfortunately will smith seems like he's one of those people where you're like
this is not how you behave like what's going on we've got guy williams on the phone talking about
chris rock and will smith yesterday i want to flip it around, though, and ask, as a comedian,
does Chris Rock have a special privilege to say whatever he wants
on the stage because he's joking?
He kind of does.
I'm always like, yeah, freedom of speech, all that.
At the same time, you've got to watch what you're joking about.
Don't get me wrong.
He didn't deserve to be hit.
No one deserves to be hit.
But if you do make jokes about personally people who are two metres in front of you,
there is a chance they might react badly, you know?
And, like, you've got to be prepared for that.
And I don't want to victim blame, but Chris Rock,
the least you could have done is, like, run away a little bit, you know?
He literally just sat there and took it.
He took it well.
He took it so well.
But I'm like, how funny would it have been if he saw Will Smith
charging towards him and he started running around the stage
being chased by Will Smith?
Now that's comedy.
That would be an iconic, iconic moment.
It already was an iconic moment, but, like, yeah, the world's gone crazy.
There you go.
That is professional comedian Guy Williams with his thoughts on the stuff
that went down yesterday.
Thanks for joining us, Guy.
We appreciate it.
Thanks, Guy.
Really nice to talk to you guys.
New Zealand Today Season 3 is coming out soon.
We're filming it now.
Yeah, that's right.
And the podcast is out too, Guy and Karen.
Yeah, the podcast.
And we hope you don't get hit in the face anytime soon.
Thanks, guys.
No worries.
You've never been a wordler, eh?
You didn't get into Wordle?
No, I'm not smart enough.
Blew up the world, Wordle, over summer, didn't it?
Really test your brain, and I feel like I gave it a go.
I did, so I know what it's about.
But I just ended up cheating.
Ben, you're a wordler, right? Are you still wordling? Because these things have a lifespan, right? I gave it a go. I did, so I know what it's about. But I just ended up cheating.
Ben, you're a wordler, right?
Are you still wordling?
Because these things have a lifespan, right? My partner's still wordling.
Are you still wordling, Ben?
Yep, I do it every day.
Every day?
Do you get it every day?
No.
I get it every day except two days ago,
and that sort of mucked my windscreen.
Oh, okay, okay.
Well, the guy who made Wordle And sold it
Has spoken about why
Why he sold it
And I think this is very relatable
Not really
So fun fact the guy who created Wordle
His name is Josh Wardle
W-A-R-D-L-E
Stop it it is not
He made the game for his puzzle loving partner
She was into it so he created this platform for her.
I did know this, yeah.
It blew up.
He got millions of people playing this game
in a very short space of time.
And he said the whole experience left him feeling
pretty stressed out.
Like, the pressure of it all was a lot.
And he's like, I didn't do this for it to be
the next big thing.
I didn't intend to for it to be the next big thing i didn't
intend to be an internet sensation um he said that then a whole bunch of ripoff versions of
the game started to pop up in the app store and they were ones where they were charging you for
the game so it's like 3.99 to download it but it's not real it's not the real word it was like
a knockoff version and now making money out of his idea.
Meanwhile, the whole time, his is free.
Yeah.
He was never trying to make money out of it.
Turtle.
What happens on Turtle?
You don't want to know.
Okay.
So then he was in this tricky position where he either had to, like,
take these people to court and sue them, send them a cease and desist,
and then sue them for stealing his idea.
And then go through all of that hassle.
But he wasn't making any money.
So it's not like he was-
There was no point.
There was no point for him.
So then the New York Times came along and said,
yo, we'd love your game.
We'll buy it off you.
How much do you think he sold the game Wordle for?
Got millions of players worldwide.
It's the hottest topic in the world.
It's on all the late night TV shows. Everyone's
playing it. What's that worth?
$200k.
No, not $200k. It's worth heaps more
than that. Well, I was going to say I didn't want
to overshoot it. I was
going to say a million. Well, he sold it for
between $1 and $3 million US.
That's cheap.
It's cheap as chips.
He's killing it. The guy who invented Snapchat got offered $5 billion.
Yeah, but that's Snapchat, which has way more longevity.
This is like a game where you literally do barely any work.
You put one word up a day and you let the website do the work.
I think he did really well.
Do you reckon?
Between $1 and $3 million.
Yeah. So let's say it's 2 million
Which is technically 4 million
Yeah
New Zealand
Yeah
For literally doing not much
I just think he could have got more
But you know if it's stressing you out
2 million dollars is not a bad payday
I think that's pretty good
I guess
I just always think
Oh I think you've got to hold out for a better deal
Listen to you
I don't want to hold out for a better deal
Oh he sold too cheap.
He sold it way too cheap.
A measly $2 million.
