And I've already said that.
Out the Gate.
Out the Gate.
Available on all major podcast apps including iHeartRadio. Those are all podcasts in the Brodie Cain stable.
Can I ask a question?
Yes. I'm a big fan of Fair Go.
What was it like doing that? Amazing.
It's probably one of my most rewarding jobs
because people's problems were
massive and were life-changing.
And sometimes you felt like
you were, like there was a couple of times that I'd be
on the phone to businesses and I
felt like I was a negotiator, like a lawyer.
I wasn't.
Like I should have been on 1500 Pikes an Hour.
But you have the gravitas of that show behind you
so people will stop and listen, right?
Yeah, it was incredible.
We have quite a lot of international listeners.
So Fairgo, to describe it, it's like a –
Consumer, it's like fighting the big guys for the consumer issues.
So you buy a big TV or something that's got a crack in it
and the brand says, sorry, too bad.
Your problem.
Yeah.
Or like, for instance, we had a big story against a big company
that will remain nameless for now that had really bad quality timber.
And we went in.
And that was big because you've got to get the lawyers involved.
You're going them.
The legal team has to sit down.
Did you have to learn a lot about timber?
Yeah, kind of.
I did actually end up learning about that.
Because you need to know your shit, right?
Yeah, you do.
Wow.
And then we once followed a guy, like literally a car chase,
down the motorway in Wellington.
We were doing it.
Oh, that's fun.
We were being given permission to covert film him.
Jeez.
So, yeah, we were trying to we would be given permission to covert film him jeez so yeah we were trying to
we were trying to bust him doing a job that he wasn't supposed to be doing because he was bankrupt
and we did busted him got him yeah don't fuck with brodie kane oh yeah it's a podcast you can
say fuck yeah you can cool we're trying to keep it yeah okay just a couple of necessary ones just a

Oh, example.
She does use it in context.
Okay, do I get one as well?
Yeah, you get one.
Oh, fuck you.
Oh, you're just going to
throw it out there like that.
It was a wasted fuck.
When are you launching
your podcast with Bree
that you were talking about before?
Oh, I know because-
Brodie and Bree and a cup of tea.
Well, she came round
to do a Kiwi Yarn
and we sat there and we talked for hours
and then I was like, oh my God, we're still recording.
And we were like, this was really fun.
We really vibe each other.
Yeah.
Really do.
And then we were like, cup of tea with Brodie and Bree.
That's quite a good idea.
That's great.
Yeah.
On the wheeze with Brodie and Bree.
Wheeze.
No, I don't think so.
Eats a piece.
Wheeze is alcohol, by the way. Is it? It doesn't. No, it's not. Get on peas Wheeze is alcohol by the way
Is it?
It doesn't
No it's not
Get on the wheeze
Piss?
Yeah
Is that in Rotorua?
Well it's
Alcohol, piss, wheeze
No
I've never heard that
Okay well I'll say
Did you make that up just then?
On the wheeze with
Uncle Clint E's then
You can't have it
And you're Clint E's with E-E-Z
Aren't you?
I am when I'm in Rotorua.
Bag of frozen peas.
Oh my God.
Get some titties. I could do a vasectomy based podcast.
Bag of frozen peas on your vasectomies.
That's a good, yeah.
That's not bad.
Yeah.
How many guys are listening to it?
Brody and Bree's titties.
Sorry. Yeah, we can call it what we like. Could be a video podcast. That's a good It's not bad Yeah How many guys Are listening to it Brodie and Breeze titties Sorry
Yeah we can call it
What we like
Could be a video podcast
Shame each other yeah
Oh yeah
I'd talk about the ta-tas now
Yes of course
Go off
Lovely
Alright well that's
In the pipeline
That's all coming up soon
Can't wait for those
Good little
Hooey about that
We'll get a name
Confirmed at some point
Mad Dog you on a podcast?
Brodie's the person to talk to.
Yeah, keen.
What's your podcast about?
I was thinking it'd be good to do a podcast
that's not about the people that I'm interviewing.
Because people always have to go to interviews.
Yeah, yeah.
And they always have to answer the same question.
Yes.
So people know enough.
Let's just chat it not about them.
So you want to get guests on
and not talk to the guest
about themselves.
Yeah, yeah.
It might be quite refreshing.
Okay, so let's just say
you've got Jacinda Ardern
as your first guest.
And just have a yarn.
Like, what's your first
two questions then?
Oh, good point.
Okay, I haven't gone that far.
Okay.
So you're a mum
and she'll go, yeah. And I go, what's your routine? that far um so you're a mom and she'll go yeah and i go
what's your routine no but now you're talking about her no oh crap but just in this conversation
so you avoid like oh my gosh you're prime minister yeah but in any conversation you have to find
common ground so you'd have to say to her you go my special guest is world-renowned political
leader jacinda ardern who's just returned from the UN.
Jacinda, do you like Harry Styles?
Yeah, literally.
Or if Billy's here, like, yo, Billy, you're vegan, so am I.
Let's chat.
Billy's vegan?
I think your challenge could be then, we can workshop this, is that what you do is you interview the person,
but none of the questions have anything to do with what they're known for.
That's the challenge.
So I can't talk to Billy about veganism.
That's fair.
No.
No.
Fine.
So you have to do a lot of research to find stuff that she's not known about.
Yeah.
Or you just sit there and be like, hey.
And then you, no, you figure it out.
Or you pick a topic.
Yeah.
Maybe draw it out of a hat.
The topic is, this is not an interesting topic, but global warming.
Boring. Oh, gosh. And my guest is not an interesting topic, but global warming. Boring.
Oh, gosh.
And my guest is Lorde.
Yeah, there you go.
I mean, yeah, okay, Clint.
I'm not the podcast expert.
Wheeze and peas with Clint Ease.
Jeez, you stay on the radio, mate.
Fuck.
There you go, I'll use the second one.
I'm coming in.

Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
It's a win for the ladies as well, so good stuff.
Yes.
Well done, Nikki.
Brie and Clint.
Brodie, are you a monarchist?
Are you a fan of the royals?
Yes.
I do find them very interesting,
and I found the Queen's death and all of the things that followed.
Yeah.
Like, well, it's obviously sad, but fascinating.
Like, her funeral was utterly fascinating,
and just the history and the tradition.
And all of it, all the pomp and ceremony and everything.
The world is royal crazy at the moment.
And there are stories coming out about Prince George.
I love that kid.
Yeah.
So if you don't know who George is,
George is second in line to the throne?
No, he's third at the moment.
So Charles and then Prince William.
No, but Charles is on the throne.
Charles is king.
Charles is king.
Oh, yeah, so he's second.
So he's second in line.
I kind of get vibes from him that he will abdicate and give it to Charlotte.
He's that kind of kid that's like, I am not interested.
Charlotte is already like, she's already making strides.
She's paying way more attention.
She is.
She loves it.
Well, there's a book coming out which claims nine-year-old Prince George,
second in line to the British throne,
said to one of his classmates that was pissing him off,
my father will be king, so you better
watch out. That's fantastic.
If you've got that
kind of flex at school, why would
you not use that? Well, this is the thing.
I don't really know what the king
is going to do. Like, they can't throw
people in jail anymore.
Can you imagine George ringing up,
Grandpa, Grandpa, there's a kid being mean at school. I need you to come down. And you imagine George ringing up, Grandpa, Grandpa,
there's a kid being mean at school. I need you to come down.
And then Charles comes down and is like,
on a horse, with the crown on.
He's like, right, who is it? You,
come here. You would be intimidated as a
kid though. It's a good flex.
If you thought the full weight of
the king was going to come down on you,
you probably would stop being a bit of a dick, wouldn't you?
Mind you, let's imagine what kind of school this is.
It's not just like your average mucking about at the playground
of a school that probably you or I went to.
No.
It's like the kid was probably the Viscount third in line to Sweden or something.
Kids can get away with way more and saying way more though.
And when you hear it come out of a kid's mouth
you're like, ooh. Sometimes it makes you sit up
right and you go, I did not expect that to come out
of a child's mouth. I don't
know what he's threatening there. I don't know if he's threatening
decapitation or
what but if the
second in line to the throne says to you
you better watch out, my father will be king
one day. You would. It would stop you
running your tracks, wouldn't you?
But when a kid says something, it's of no consequence.
They don't understand the ramifications or the seriousness of what they've just said.
But when a kid says something serious to you as well,
you go, oh, that's weird.
The example I have is my daughter, Tui,
who is three years old the other day.
She came out of, she woke up and we were
having breakfast and I said to her, oh how was daycare
yesterday? And she put her
spoon down and she turned to me and she
said, Dad, you need
to stop asking me questions.
Because she just
I was just pissing her off and I was like
oh okay, right well
okay I will stop and then she turned back
to her food and she just kept eating.
Dad, you need to stop asking me questions.
Jeez, if she's already telling you this now,
imagine what she'd be like when she's 16.
Where are you going?
Dad, I have to tell you, stop asking me questions.
Absolutely none of your business.
We want to ask you guys this afternoon,
what are some cold-blooded things
that kids have said to you
that just sort of stopped you in your tracks?
You didn't expect this to come out of a child's mouth.
It might have been your kid. It might have been a kid that you
maybe you're a teacher and it was a kid in your class.
But we'd like you to share it with us this afternoon
on 0800DIALS.M
Someone's texted and we're talking
about cold blooded things a kid said to you.
They said, my niece is seven. She said
to me, I need to lose weight because she can
see stains on my belly.
Thus stretch marks actually
and I'm pregnant
I can actually relate to this one almost
as an adult. When my son was three or four
years old we were out grocery shopping. As we
were going down the aisle he says to me, mum
I need to go to the toilet. So I was hurrying
up to get it done ASAP. Made it to the
counter and he said quietly again
mum I need to go now.
I said, hold up, we're nearly finished.
Bugger me, almost done.
He yelled from the top of his lungs,
Mom, I need a effing shit and I need to go now.
Did I breach any rules then?
I don't think I did.
I don't know.
Let's go to Nicole.
Hi, Nicole.
Hi.
Hi. What did a kid say to you. Hi, Nicole. Yeah. Hi. Hi.
What did a kid say to you?
Cold-blooded thing you heard.
So, my son was about four
and he said this to my partner.
So, him and my partner
were sitting on the couch
just like looking
at each other's hands
and stuff, you know,
as you do.
Yeah.
And my son
makes a comment
to my partner saying,
like, you've got really,
really big fingers, like really big hands. Yeah. And my partner goes, like, you've got really, really big fingers,
like really big hands.
Yeah.
And my partner goes, like, yeah, I'm a bit older than you,
like, of course.
And my son goes, yeah, well, they look like grubby sausages.
I can see where he's coming from, though.
Like someone who works with their hands,
they would look like grubby sausages to a child.
Like little chipolatas.
Little breakfast sausages hanging off the end of your fists.
Debbie's here. Hi, Deb.
Hi, how are you doing?
We're good.
What's the cold-blooded thing a kid said to you?
Well, I'm a preschool teacher, and when I was pregnant with my daughter,
a little girl started to get quite scared of me,
and she'd never talk to me,
and she'd look at me from across the room.
And one day I said to her,
honey, what's wrong?
And she said,
Debs, I'm not going to eat a baby in my tummy like you did.
She thought I'd eaten the baby.
And I said, oh, honey, I didn't eat the baby.
And she said, how did it get in there then?
And I was like,
let's talk to mum about that.
And the next morning she came in
and she ran to me and she goes,
Debs, I know you didn't need the baby.
You made it with the boy.
It was so cute.
I love how they refer to you as Debs as well.
It's very colloquial.
Like, oh, g'day Debs.
One more, let's go to Tony.
G'day Tones.
G'day, How's it going?
Good.
We're talking about the cold-blooded things that kids have said to you.
What did you hear?
Yeah, well, they were all a little bit cute.
But I've got a guy that works my work, and he has to bring his kids after school, and
they sit in the smoker room and play on the computers.
Yeah.
I said, hey, boys, how's it going?
One of them turned slowly to me and looks at me and says, I'm going to kill you in your
dreams.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay. That's what we'd like to call a red flag. Yeah, I'm going to kill you in your dreams. Oh, okay.
That's what we'd like to call a red flag.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've seen the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
I know what it means.
Yeah, exactly right.
It starts young too.
Did you let his dad know about that comment or did you just get the hell out of there?
I just turned and ran away and I don't speak to him anymore.
Yep.
Nope.
Fair enough.
I understand that.
No eye contact.
I love this.
Here's one on the text machine. I told a mongrel mob member
covered in face tattoos
that when he gets home,
his mummy will be very angry at him
for drawing on his face.
Perfect.
And maybe he learned his lesson.
Yeah, exactly.
Bree and Clint.
And it's time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio.
This is the latest.
Live from LA with Dee McCarthy. Brodie's heard this. She's all over the latest. From iHeart Radio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Brodie's heard this.
She's all over the podcasts.
The Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez overlap.
It's everywhere.
And Dean McCarthy's got the latest for us.
Hi, Dean.
Hi, guys.
Yeah, so I actually, they dropped the, it's the latest episode of Call Her Daddy.
It's the podcast, biggest podcast in the world.
Anyway, last night, after our call late at night,
they actually dropped the podcast.
And in it, the host, Alex Trooper,
interviewed Hayley Bieber,
and she asked her straight out about crossover
with Selena Gomez.
So just to recap the timeline,
technically, Selena and Justin Bieber
finished in May of 2018 and it was only
three months later that he was engaged to hayley bieber uh now basically in the interview right
it's an hour long it's really good uh basically how hayley described it is that anytime that she
was with justin he was single he was He was not seeing anyone or dating anyone.
However, right before, back in that kind of May, early 2018,
he was back with Selena for a period.
And then when they finished was when he and Hailey got back together.
How Hailey described it was actually really cool.
She was kind of like, you know, yes,
they really needed to get complete with their relationship. And I'm so happy that they did because when it
really was over like over over okay and that's when he was sort of free to really be with with
hayley in that way um they talked about everything they talked about their their bed live bedroom
life they talked about how difficult it was for yeah they talk about everything they talk about
her her parents political views it It's really, really good.
Check it out.
But overall, the bottom line is this.
There was no crossover in terms of relationship,
even though the timeline is unusual.
The other thing, though, Dean, that I heard is that apparently Hayley did not say Selena's name once
in the podcast.
She didn't refer to her by name.
Not at all.
Yeah. Not once. Not once. You didn't refer to her by name.
Not once.
Not once.
We've got a small... No, four years ago.
She's been married for four years to Justin Bieber.
Yeah.
She still, to this day, gets comments when she goes live on Instagram and in her stories
and everything where people are like, you homewrecker.
Justice for Selena.
And Hayley's like, yeah.
We've got a tiny clip from the podcast.
Check this out.
Were you ever with Justin romantically at the same time as her?
No, not one time.
When him and I ever started hooking up or anything of that sort,
he was not ever in a relationship, ever, at any point.
I'm not interested in doing that, and I never was.
There you go.
Podcast is out.
You can make your own mind up.
That is the latest live out of Los Angeles
with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
Brie and Clint.
Brodie Kane is here filling in for Brie today.
It's an absolute pleasure to be here.
It's so lovely to be back on the airwaves.
Delightful to have you here.
Yeah.
She's a broadcaster professional. She's a podcaster extraordinaire. She's a
ballroom dancer. She's an athlete. Any other accolades to your name? I used to be in the
army. She was in the army. I used to be a surf life saver. Yeah. She's a good old Kiwi
battler. Yeah. That's not a compliment. Is it? No. It's endearing.
It's endearing.
Being called a battler.
Yeah, isn't it?
I don't think so.
She's not a battler, then I take it back.
Just a GB.
I've got a conundrum that I would like us to see if we can get to the bottom of it.
Right. It's a dilemma that a friend of mine is having.
Their workmate has had a win on a scratchy.
Okay.
It's good stuff.
It's a decent win.
I will tell you how much it is.
Okay.
But first I'll give you the details.
Yep.
Scratchy was a gift from their boss.
Okay.
I don't know what the occasion was.
I don't know if it was a birthday.
It definitely wasn't a leaving gift
because the person is still employed by this other person.
But it was a gift from the employer to the
employee.
Yes.
Scratchy has had a big win.
And now the question is, does that employee owe any of the money to the boss who gave
them the scratchy?
If you took the boss-employee dynamic away from it and I gave you a scratchy, would you
feel compelled to give me any of the money if you had a win?
No. None? No. What if it the money if you had a win? No.
None?
No.
What if it was like a big amount of money?
No.
If it was a dollar scratchy, I'd give you back the dollar.
You would give me a dollar?
I'll give you a dollar.
Oh, you'd give me the cost of the scratchy?
Right.
Does it change anything that this scratchy
in this situation won $10,000?
No.
It changes nothing?
No.
So there's no amount? If it's a gift, too bad. I. It changes nothing. No. So there's no amount.
If it's a gift,
too bad.
I might take you out for dinner,
have a night out or something.
They've given the boss a bottle of wine.
Yeah, that's fair.
Is it?
Yes.
10 grand.
10 grand.
Hey, hey.
10 grand.
You are playing with fire.
If you're gifting people things like scratchies
and lotto tickets,
I would never buy anyone a lotto ticket or a scratchy for that very reason.
Right.
No.
So no, no.
It's a hard no.
Too bad.
You made the risk.
Take the bottle of wine.
You and Bree got the same opinion.
She's like, no, you don't owe them anything.
It's a gift.
Yeah.
But you literally just gave that person $10,000.
No, you didn't.
The scratchy did.
See, I've said in the past you go halves.
No.
No, the only time that happens is if you walk into a lotto shop
with your mate and you're buying Powerball,
you look at each other and go,
because imagine if they got one, you know, you bought it first
and then they bought the second one and that was Powerball.
That's when you split it.
You don't split a gift of a scratchy or a lotto ticket.
No.
Right.
Hard no.
If you gave me a lotto ticket,
so you've given it to me for my birthday or whatever it is,
and I won Powerball, I won a million dollars,
you would not feel like I should give you any of that money at all?
No.
Really?
Absolutely.
I'm going to go and live my best life.
You don't think that you're entitled to a cheeky hundred grand?
No, I don't, but I wouldn't do that.
So I would just never, ever get myself in that situation
because that's the thing.
I'd be distraught that I'd done that.
I give them those gifts all the time.
I think they make a great gift.
No.
Really?
No, I'd never do it.
I believe in this situation that my friend's workmate has gift all the time. I think they make a great gift. No. Really? My God, no, I'd never do it.
I believe in this situation that my friend's workmate has had at the moment,
boss has given employee a scratchy that's won 10 grand.
I reckon $1,000 would not hurt.
I reckon giving $1,000, 10% of it back as a gift would be a nice thing to do.
Absolutely outrageous.
Furthermore, I know that this was irrelevant.
It's his boss.
Boss doesn't need the money. How do you know? Not that this was irrelevant. It's his boss. Boss doesn't need the money.
How do you know? Not all bosses are rich.
It's a boss. If you give your boss money back, would you do that?
Would you give Ross boss money?
Well, he's listening.
So yes, I absolutely would.
No way you would have.
I reckon people
are divided on this.
You're all alone. I'd love to open it up on 0800DIALZM and ask,
in this situation, who should give who what?
And maybe you agree with Brodie.
Maybe it's absolutely nothing.
Maybe you think the $1,000 is too small.
Maybe you think they should give them half on it.
But can we figure this out once and for all?
Because, you know, Christmas is coming up.
Gifts are going to be given back and forth.
What if you accidentally give somebody the winning scratchy?
Just don't do it.
I say accidentally because you never think that you're giving someone the winner, eh?
You're just like, here you go.
Here you go, good luck.
Damn it.
I did not realise I was this out of touch with how scratchy and lotto gifts work.
I genuinely didn't.
I thought I would, I thought it would be maybe 50-50 at best.
I mean, I'm coming to this from not only an emotional perspective,
but don't forget I used to work on Fair Go.
So in the rules of the Fair Trading Act,
now I'm just lying, I did work for Fair Go.
But a gift is a gift.
Let me give it to you straight.
A friend of mine's boss, a friend of mine's workmate,
their boss has given them a scratchy.
Yeah.
The scratchy has gone on to win $10,000.
The question is, how much does that employee need to give their boss, if any?
I suggested that $1,000 would be nice.
A 10%, 10% gift back to the person who gifted you $10,000.
It's quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard from you.
Really?
Yeah, and the text machine agrees.
There is no one on your side.
Even my best friend has DM'd me and he said,
nah, wrong, I would buy you a scratchy in return.
You give me a scratchy worth $10,000,
I'll give you a scratchy.
Might be worth $10,000.
Yeah, but chances are not.
$2, you might get $2 off it.
We've asked the people what's right, what's wrong.
Jonathan's here.
Hi, Jonathan.
Hey, mate.
How's it going?
Good.
What's the deal?
If you get a scratchy with $10,000 on it,
how much do you have to give the person who gave you the scratchy?
Well, I think whoever plays the scratchy gets the money.
But when you're a tradie, right, and you're an avid pokey player once a week, let's say,
as has just happened, you've got your apprentice.
He plays.
You give him the $20 here and there.
He doesn't need as much money as you.
At the end of the day, it swings and roundabouts.
But your apprentice wins the jackpot, and he's just bagged himself $1,000.
That's his money.
That's his money. But he's won it on your $20. that's his money. That's his money.
But he's won it on your $20.
He gave him that.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
But I think there's an unwritten rule when you're gambling,
is if you're gambling with your mates
or having a good time with your mates,
there's an unwritten rule.
So I'm not going to ask for money.
I don't think he owes me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Of course.
I'm asking what would be the right thing to do. A round of beers.
Not even a round of beers.
If we're still playing the pokey,
hey, if he owes me $100,
thank you very much. Right. I'm not going to ask
him for $100. I'm not going to expect $100.
And you don't think you're owed it
either. Like, if he did it, that's a
bonus, right? Absolutely not.
That's the bonus. That's the kickback.
Alright, well, thank you for the trading logic. We appreciate it. Jono, let's go to Vanessa. Hi, Ness. Yeah, right. Absolutely not. That's the bonus. That's the kickback. All right. Well, thank you for the trading logic.
We appreciate it.
Jono, let's go to Vanessa.
Hi, Ness.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
What's right?
What's wrong in this situation?
I think a gift is a gift.
And yeah, they should not be expecting.
I mean, I know they wouldn't be expecting any feedback,
but I wouldn't pay them any more than how much they pay for the scratchy.
See, I like that. You go, hey how much they pay for the scratchy. See, I like that.
You go, hey, thanks so much for that scratchy.
Here's a dollar.
Go and buy yourself one.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Like, here's $10.
But they were nice enough to give you a gift,
which then went on to be worth $10,000.
You don't give someone a bottle of wine, drink it,
and be like, oh, here's the empty bottle.
Would you mind taking it to your...
No, there's no sort of like that, you know,
you don't give things back.
So if you've just joined us,
they did buy the person who gave them
the scratchier bottle of wine.
Yeah.
Someone has texted and said,
no, you owe them zilch.
The wine was a nice gesture.
Yeah.
Really?
Actually, you've had your first text.
I'm with Clint.
I'd give back.
And that is literally the first text that has come in.
Let's get Stephen on.
Stephen, what's the deal?
I think the thing is, yeah, I think your mate was right.
Give them a scratchy back.
Because if you won $10, are you going to give them a dollar or something?
No, no, no, because $10,000 is not $10.
But giving them a scratchy back is a slap in the face.
That is a slap in the face. That is a slap in the face.
Buying someone a scratchy is a foolish mistake.
So don't get yourself in the situation.
Don't do it.
Finally, Coley, what's the deal in this?
What's the right thing to do in this $10,000 scratchy situation?
Oh, mate, after listening to those people, I'm not sure.
I think maybe I'm just too nice of a person,, I'm not sure. I think maybe I'm just
too nice of a person, but I'm with you. I'd definitely give my boss a grand. A grand? Yeah.
Yep, I reckon that's fair enough. Like, without my boss giving me that ticket, I would have nothing.
So that's just a little token of like, you know, appreciate it. I've won this money. Here,
let's share a little bit of it. It doesn't matter if it's my boss or not. I'd be sharing a little bit.
Well, you and Clint are going to the pearly gates.
The rest of us are going downstairs.
And I'm okay with that.
Thanks, Coley.
I'll buy you a scratchy on your birthday, okay?
Oh, if I win, mate, some's coming back here.
No, none for Brodie Kane, though.
I don't care.
I'm fine with that.
All right, very heated conversation.
I'm not sure we got to the bottom,
but it was good fun anyway. We did get to the bottom of that.
You know it.
Bree and Clint.
Time for a round of
That Don't Impress Me Much.
That Don't Impress Me Much.
Where we illegally hijack
this iconic Shania Twain song.
Just to have a big old whinge about things.
You know?
You know, get it off your chest.
A problem shared is a problem halved or something like that. I love a goodinge about things. You know, get it off your chest. A problem shared is a problem harmed or something like that.
I love a good moan too.
And I don't like when people try and solve my problems.
I'm like, no, no, no, no.
Just listen to the great.
I'm not actually looking for an answer.
Because what would I do without moaning?
That's the thing you need to realise as a good friend over time.
Often people aren't looking for a solution.
They're just looking for an ear to bend to get something off their chest.
Venting is healthy.
Yeah.
Well, we promise not
to solve any of your
problems this afternoon
in this round of
That Don't Impress Me Much.
We're all going to
give it a go.
There's some people
on the phone too.
How about I kick us
off this afternoon?
Okay, you go so that
I can hear what it
sounds like.
Okay, here we go.
So.
Okay.
So this Be Real app is just pictures of people eating their dinner and watching TV every night?
I've deleted it.
I don't have it.
Have you never tried it?
No.
You've got to give it a go.
I'm still grappling with the TikTok, all right?
Producer Claude, you got something you want to get off your chest this afternoon?
Always.
All right.
Okay.
So I went to the bakery and bought a bunch of goodies and the dogs got to eat them before I did.
Rude.
Bad dogs.
Brutal.
And she made scones with dog hair in them earlier this week.
It's been a bad week.
Some kid goes,
there's a dog hair in the scone.
And did they have that little thing where it's like,
what is that?
They had a hairball, yeah.
Producer Ella, you got something for us this afternoon?
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
When my glasses place...
When my glasses place,
replace my glasses even though they're under warranty.
How dare they?
No.
Excuse me.
No. Can I see the manager?
Like Brodie said before, she was on fair go.
I'll draft you up an email that works every time.
No, remember, we're not solving any problems.
I'm venting.
Eric's here to give it a go.
G'day, Eric. Hey, man.
You ready for this? Yeah.
Alright, let's do it.
Okay.
When driving down the motorway,
and then they treat the overtaking lane like a drag strip,
and everyone goes from 90 to 120.
That don't impress me much.
Nice, good traffic basement. I know what you're talking about
It's not the bloody autobahn, is it Eric?
No mate, stay in your lane
Stay in your lane
Literally
In all aspects of life
Martha's here, hi Martha
Hi
You ready to get something off your chest?
Yes
Let's do it then
Okay No Okay.
Look, going to get a bloody passport photo taken.
Yes!
Martha, did you know you can actually take your own passport photos these days on your phone?
Yeah, I did ten and they still bloody refused it.
Oh, that's outrageous.
Or you go into the shop and they're not sort of photographers.
No. So my one, I look like a cross between Daniel Johns from Silverchair and the guys from Hanson.
How terrible.
Put your finger in the power plug.
Oh, good on you, Martha.
You've made my day there.
Last person to go is Brody.
Okay.
I hate to admit this, but I went to Briscoe's today to buy a mattress protector
and they weren't having a sale and I bought it full price.
You never buy it full price.
I needed it.
Do you?
How sweaty are you getting in bed?
Your mattress will be alright
for a couple of weeks.
Put two sheets on.
Jeez.
I've gone there.
I don't like going anywhere
near St. Luke's.
It was a big outing, alright?
So I was like,
I'm here now.
So I'm really embarrassed.
Bree and Clint.
I think I already know
the answer to this, but what's your
take on a gender reveal
party?
Oh, hey.
Each to their own.
I'm sure it's very special.
But
I shan't be having one. Right.
Not that I'm expecting, but I
shan't have one. And I don't mean just
like a cutting of the cake.
What colour is the filling?
Is it blue?
Is it pink?
I'm talking like a lavish, over-the-top,
almost like it's a gender reveal stunt
is more what I'm talking about.
See, there's just so many things.
There's so many things now.
You get engaged, engagement party.
You get married, hen's party.
Then the wedding.
And then, hey, contribute to our honeymoon.
Then you have a baby.
Then there's a baby. Gender reveal and a baby shower. And then the first, then the wedding, and then, hey, contribute to our honeymoon. Then you have a baby, then there's a baby.
Gender reveal and a baby shower, and then the first birthday,
the second, the fifth.
And a good old single brody over here gets nothing.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, I'm fine.
You need to find something to reveal.
Yeah.
Just have a reveal party.
Like a puppy reveal party or what are you into?
What are you going to buy?
Oh, no, just like, hey, guys, it's just.
I bought myself something new, a new blazer.
Hey guys, it's Saturday. Let's reveal how big our night's going to be. Party. Yeah.
Okay. There's a couple in Brazil
who have come under fire for dying
in 18 metre waterfall blue
as part of their gender reveal
party. Oh, for goodness sake.
See, this is what happens,
you see? And then it's the same with when
people do the balloons and then they let go of the balloons and then it's a flight hazard.
And it chokes the albatross.
Yeah.
The couple who have not yet been identified,
but the video has gone viral,
they've taken all the videos down.
They had a 50-person party beside a waterfall
and someone at the top put a bunch of dye into the waterfall
at the key moment.
So then it comes down.
The issue is they think that they might have polluted
the entire stream from this
because it flows on and it goes down.
And now the fish are part of your gender reveal party
and the water table was part of your gender reveal party
and the wildlife are part of your gender reveal party.
You always hear about these things going wrong.
Did you have one?
No.
You wouldn't know.
We had a very small gender reveal party.
Yeah.
It was my wife, myself, and the midwife.
And the midwife lifted the baby up,
and we found out what gender it was.
Oh, the actual...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, see, I'm all about that.
That's a great idea.
A vintage gender reveal party.
Gosh, there's not a lot of that around now, is there?
No.
Waiting? It's about old school. Yeah, I love party. Gosh, there's not a lot of that around now, is there? No. Waiting?
It's a bit old school.
Yeah, I love that.
I love it.
That's David Guetta and Bebe Rexha.
I'm good.
Jeez, I'm sorry to interrupt you.
I'm ready to go to the club.
You're playing some, oh gosh,
and then she loses her coolness real quick.
Playing some real doof doof.
That's Brodie Kane.
She'll be at her 13th Rhythm and Vines this summer.
Actually, you're bang on.
13th?
Lucky number 13?
So yeah, hey, still got it.
She's still got it.
I've got a wild cheating story to share this afternoon.
It's from an Auckland woman who has shared this.
It's very brave of her to put it all out there.
It's the way she discovered that her husband was cheating
on her. Okay?
But I've not heard of it
like this before. So I'm going to walk you through it.
There's a few stages. Stick with me on
this story. Okay? So
she's in Auckland. She found out her husband is cheating.
She busted
her cheating husband
on Instagram influencer
Simone Anderson's Instagram story.
No.
Well, what?
Was the husband doing the washing or folding up the washing or something?
She does do a lot of washing content, a lot of folding washing content.
Wow.
Okay.
She doesn't know Simone Anderson, by the way.
It's not a friend of hers.
She's just one of Simone's.
If you don't know who Simone is, she's one of the biggest influencers in the country.
She's got like 300,000 Instagram followers.
Yes.
She does.
No, she does.
And she puts up a lot of content.
Her stories are enormous.
Very busy during the day.
Very busy with cleaning, aiming tights, you name it.
So let's walk you through this story, okay?
The woman who's going under a fake name of Amber,
she watches Simone's Instagram story fairly regularly.
And I think she watches all of it.
That's a lot of stories.
It's a commitment.
It's part of her day.
So she's watching it and she saw Simone was walking through a park
that she recognised, a park she knew quite well.
She saw a distinctive dress in the background of one of the Instagram story videos
that looked really familiar to her.
So she pauses it and she screenshots it and she zooms in on it and she recognises it.
It's a dress she had seen a workmate of her husband wear a couple of times.
Oh God.
And it's so distinctive.
She had asked her about that dress.
She was like, I've never seen something like this before.
Where did you get it?
She said, I got it from a little shop in Venice.
Yeah.
Specific.
It's a unique piece.
Yeah.
And Amber, who is the wife in the story,
she said, I've never seen that pattern anywhere else before.
So as soon as she's seen this,
she's sure that it's her husband's workmate,
her husband's colleague.
She zooms in a little bit further.
She looks at the picture and she said,
right there next to the woman was her husband.
Walking through the park in the background
of Simone Anderson's Instagram story
is her husband with this workmate.
And you go, oh, they're just walking through a park together.
He had his arm around her.
They were walking in a way
that suggested they were doing a thing
and that was the beginning of the thing.
And she found out that her husband was cheating on her
through Simone Anderson, Instagram influencer's Instagram story.
I'm speechless.
Yeah.
That's wild.
But this further reaffirms that, you know,
before the social media and whatnot.
Yes.
You know, what goes on tour stays on tour was a thing.
There is no such thing as a tour anymore.
Absolutely not.
Because everyone's got their phones.
And you wouldn't know.
You'd just be innocent.
No, I was going to say innocently going about your affair,
not innocently going about your affair.
Yeah.
And you're in the back of a story of Simone Anderson's.
Yeah.
And I know some people get a bit angsty about loss of privacy these days
because everybody's got a camera
and everybody is broadcasting from their phone these days.
As soon as you put something on the internet, you know,
you're pumping it out there.
Yeah.
But it comes back to the old adage that if you're not doing anything wrong,
you don't have anything to worry about.
You can be in the background of Instagram influencer
Simone Anderson's Instagram story
and so long as you're not cheating on your wife,
there's going to be no negative ramifications from that, isn't there?
Well, I hope she got a discount code.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You'd contact Simone and say,
hey, can you download that video for me?
Can I have that video?
Absolutely.
I'm going to need all the ammunition I can
when I take this to my husband,
soon-to-be ex-husband,
and say, you're busted.
Oh, that's so terrible, isn't it?
That's awful for her.
It's an awful way to find out.
There's no nice way to find out.
No, I don't think.
But gosh, that's classic, hey, because my mum always does that in photos.
You know, people zoom, like they get the two fingers on the cell phone, they're like, what's going on in there?
But I mean, that's just, that's tragic.
I feel, I'm really sorry for her.
That's sad.
Yeah.
Full on, eh?
Yeah.
I thought we could ask the question this afternoon
because that's a pretty unique situation.
But what did you discover on someone else's social media?
Like maybe somebody that you follow,
maybe it's a friend of yours,
maybe it's when Snapchat was really big
and inadvertently something has been revealed to you.
It might be cheating.
It might be somebody cheating
in the background of the story.
It might be something completely different.
Like you might see your stolen property
on somebody else's Instagram story
and you go, hang on a second, that's my thing.
They've got my thing.
You might see an item of clothing
that you loaned to somebody
that they said that they didn't have anymore
and then all of a sudden you see on their Instagram story
that they're wearing it.
Or you've said to your besties,
hey, I'm just having a quiet weekend this weekend,
like they can't come to the thing,
and then you're out somewhere.
And then it's like, whoopsies, it's on my story.
0800 dials at M or you can text them into 9696.
We'd like to know this afternoon,
what did you discover on somebody else's social media?
Brian Clint.
Simone Anderson, if you don't know, is an Instagram influencer.
The husband wasn't cheating with Simone, by the way.
She's not cheating on anybody.
No.
The husband was in the background of one of Simone's Instagram stories
with a woman that wasn't his wife.
And his wife watches the stories and pinpointed and went,
how are you cheating on me?
That's just so wild.
And you're right though about
we wouldn't have had this sentence
a few years ago.
And that's why I love this text
that we've got in
about, you know,
how I was saying
if you lied to your mates or something
and then you went out
and you were on someone's Instagram story out.
Yeah.
This is classic.
This is not on social media,
but I was the manager of a cafe
and a girl
called in sick. The next day
she was on the front page of the
Otago Daily Times at the races.
I love that. Because she argued
she would have been four or five Lindows deep
by that stage. Absolutely. And she would have forgotten
the fact that she was supposed to be incognito.
And the photographer from the ODT
would have went, babes, can we have your photo?
And she would have gone, absolutely!
Fascinated would have been skew whiff,
half a show off.
That is the old school version of getting
busted on someone's social media. Exactly.
Now I've got one that's actually
quite grim, okay, so brace yourselves.
After my husband
passed away, I got my husband's
tablet, which he kept at work. After going through it, I found out husband's tablet Which he kept at work
After going through it I found out he was cheating
In addition there were cards and items
From her
But he's passed away and I'll never get answers
Oh that is
Grim
I bet in that situation
And I can't relate to that
But I imagine you wish you'd never found the tablet, do you think?
Yes, I think so.
Because you can't, you're not going to get closure.
I'd be hitting her up.
Oh, no, don't blame the woman.
But you'd have to.
You'd have to.
If you want some answers, you'd have to.
Maybe you'd change, like, from lovely roses at his gravesite to black.
You might not maintain that one.
Yeah, yeah.
Kelly's here.
Hi, Kelly.
Hi.
We're asking you,
what did you discover through somebody else's social media?
So I was in a long-distance relationship
with somebody for seven years,
and then I guess towards the end,
I suggested that we go on a little bit of a break.
And then about three days later, I saw on his brother's Instagram story that he was getting married.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Getting married?
No.
What?
Correct.
A guy you had been in a seven-year long-distance relationship with, three days after going on a break with you,
was getting married.
Right.
So did he have a fiance and another life the whole time or did he just move on really, really, really fast?
I mean, I just assumed that I was being two-timed
because I didn't ask for any explanations or follow-up.
Like, I just like literally blocked him on everything
and then closed that chapter of my life.
Wait, you've never had him up about it?
You never looked for closure on this?
No, because I think at the end, like, I had wanted for us to have a break,
so I think I had already thought that this relationship
isn't going to go anywhere.
He's like, you want a break?
Oh, thanks.
I'll give you a break.
I'm getting married in two days.
Oh, gosh.
Gosh, what a douchebag.
You found out on his brother's Instagram story.
How had his brother never Instagrammed the fiancé before then?
The brother, the first time he goes on the story,
it's at the wedding.
That's a lot, Kelly.
I'm glad you got out of there, Kelly. That's, yeah.
Well, I'm glad you got out of there, Kelly.
We always say this, you're better off.
You're better off. You're better off.
Bree and Clint. It's time for a birthday banger.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Cheers to JB Hi-Fi.
Cool products at awesome prices

Yeah, yeah.
You're in the engine room of Birthday Banger.
Okay.
Let's bring Caitlin on.
Hi, Caitlin.
Hi, guys.
How are you going?
How's your, what day is it, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday going?
Oh, honesty, it's a long day, but I'm home now, so it's okay.
I love a bit of honesty.
I love a bit of honesty.
So, honestly, it sounds like about a seven, your day to me.
Would you say seven?
Oh, five or six.
All right, we need to pick this up.
Give Brodie your birthday. She'll tell you what your birthday banger was. It is
the 6th of March, 2001.
Okay, so that means that
you were 16 on the 6th
of March, 2017.
This was number one.
Huge birthday banger, Caitlin.
Oh, yes, it's a great one.
Oh, my God, you're 16 years old.
Lorde is the biggest artist in the world.
Also, way to make us feel old, Caitlin was born in 2001.
Yeah.
Gosh.
It's quite confronting, eh?
Really confronting.
You like that, Caitlin?
You would vote yes on that one?
Oh, absolutely.
Especially, you know, Kiwi artists.
Yeah. Gotta love that.
Absolutely.
All right, wait there.
We're going to do a birthday banger for Todd.
Kia ora, Todd.
Hey, guys.
How you going?
How's your Thursday?
Oh, not too bad.
Yeah?
Seven?
Stuck in traffic.
Not too bad.
Oh, that's a two if you're stuck in traffic.
He said stuck in traffic.
I heard something else.
Stuck in traffic sounds a bit like, you know.
You heard it too, right, Claude?
I was worried for a second there.
But also, if you're stuck in traffic, you'd say, oh, traffic.
Todd, what's your birthday?
17th of July, 1993.
All right. Mine's the 18 July, 1993. All right.
Ooh!
Mine's the 18th, just out of interest.
Anyway, 17th of July, 1993.
17th of July, 2009.
You were 16.
This was number one.
Big energy.
Big energy.
Big dance floor energy.
That's not too bad.
It's huge.
You'd rate this, you'd vote for this over Lord Todd?
Yeah, I definitely would.
Yeah, okay, cool.
Wait there.
Got your endorsement.
One more birthday banger for Jared.
Hey, Jared.
Hey, how's it going?
How's it going?
We're good.
How are you?
Oh, marvellous.
So what are you out of 10?
You're 6. Oh, marvellous. So what are you out of 10? You're 6.
Oh, probably an 8.
Just got home out of traffic, so I'm 8 now.
Yeah, good.
All right, that's good.
We love an 8.
Let's take you to a 9.
What's your birthday, Jared?
1st of August, 91.
Well, these people are so young.
Okay, 1st of August, 1991.
That means on the 1st of August in 2007, you were 16,
which means this was your song.
Well, she's not into it.
Oh, I just, I'm surprised it was number one.
Sean Kingston, this song was massive.
Do you like this song, Jared?
Sean Kingston, Beautiful Girls.
Oh, it's not too bad.
It's not an eight, though, is it?
No, no, not an eight.
No, okay, fair enough.
We'll deliberate quickly.
Remember the added pressure.
Whoever wins today gets a $100 JB Hi-Fi voucher.
Do you know who you're going to vote for, Brodie?
Yep.
Who?
Oh, do you want me to tell you right now?
We'll go together.
Three, two, one.
Lord Greenlight.
Yeah.
Perfect.
We're in agreeance.
We don't need to go to a split vote.
That means, Caitlin, congratulations.
You've just scored yourself a $100 JB Hi-Fi voucher.
Woo-hoo!
You've made my day a 10.
Hey!
Guys!
It's a 10.
Here you go.
Here's your birthday banger from 2017.
Brianne Clint with Brodie Filling in
I do my makeup in somebody else's car
We order different drinks at the same bars
Brianne Clint
ZM, Brianne Clint with Brodie Kane filling in.
That's Lords and Green Light, the winner of Birthday Banger today.
I actually reckon that's one of my favourite Lorde songs.
Yeah.
Honestly.
It's a top five Lorde song for sure.
Big energy for me.
Yeah.
She is doing her Solar Power Tour in New Zealand.
Finally, the one that we missed out on last year,
she's doing the Outer Fields at Western Springs in March.
Oh, fantastic.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen her live?
Yeah, I have seen her live.
Amazing?
Amazing.
She's incredible.
I need to see her.
I have to book in for that one.
Gosh, there's so many concerts.
It's hard to keep up, eh?
Bree and Clint. Time for the one. Gosh, there's so many concerts. It's hard to keep up, mate. Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
The Maroon 5 Adam Levine cheating scandal continues on,
and it seems so does the band Maroon 5, Dean.
Sure does.
Here's the deal.
So they have a Las Vegas residency starting,
and the residency and everything else is going ahead as
planned. Now, there was obviously talk that, ooh, would it get pulled? Let me tell you this. I'm going to
do a little name drop, so just brace yourself. So on the weekend, I was with, obviously,
Katy Perry and Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. I spent the weekend with them
in Vegas for American Idol, and they've all had residencies, and Katy's in the middle
of her residency now. But here's what I can tell you about a Las Vegas residency people first of all you get
paid a fat chunk of cash every single show like 400 500 grand right wow number two the casino
wherever it's being performed will always have like a fully decked out penthouse suite and they'll have it cheated out to your design like if you like however you kind of your taste they will refurbish the penthouse and number
three usually uh the the casino will actually fly you in and out that weekend on the casino's own
private jet so you pop in to your own penthouse that's seated out just how you like it you do
your show for 500 grand you go back upstairs go back upstairs, go to bed, and the next morning,
you fly back on the private jet to LA.
So let's be honest.
They'd want to do it.
I mean, Maroon 5 are so average.
How many days have they got?
Like three?
Like usually you sustain like a year or something.
I'm like, how will they go for more than a week?
Oh, my gosh.
Let me tell you this.
No, careful. I'll tell you this. Yeah. No, careful.
I'll tell you this.
Here's the thing.
So the Vegas residencies are obviously for diehard fans, but they're also for people
that just want to see a show.
Yeah.
And Luke Bryan was saying on the weekend, he goes, I would actually have about, there
were people in my audience that were there just because.
Something to do.
We should see a show.
Yeah, just something to do.
And so they just kind of go along.
But apparently, apparently, I've heard this on multiple occasions,
that Adam Levine is really arrogant.
Well, when he came here to New Zealand, really arrogant
and completely dismissive of the crowd.
So I hope he's sorted himself out.
Well, I think he's had a big serving of humble pie recently.
And I don't imagine there'll be any after party featuring Maroon 5.
I think Adam Levine will be on a very tight leash for that residency.
Yes.
That is the inside goss from our man in the know, Dean McCarthy.
He's live out of Los Angeles.
Brian Clint.
He found $58 million in his bank account that wasn't his.
No.
Yes.
$58 million.
And he gave it back.
He called the bank and he said, hey, there's $58 million in my account
that shouldn't be there.
Okay.
So, well, I guess with that scale,
you are going to get caught, right?
Okay, I've got a question for you then.
If you were at the ATM,
not that anyone is at the ATM anymore,
but if you're at the ATM and you got out 40 bucks
and 200 bucks went out, are you taking it?
It's a morality question.
Well, yes, because you can't stuff it back into the machine.
So, yeah, I've got out of that one.
I've managed to weasel my way out.
Yes.
Great.
Yeah, 100%.
You take it, right?
Yeah.
And then just, because that's easy enough to give back if you spend the $200.
Yeah.
If you spend the $58 million,
it's a bit hard to find that under the couch cushions.
Yeah, exactly.
The reason I ask is I've come across this study
that was done in 2020
and it's tried to pinpoint the exact number,
the optimal amount you need to earn to be happy,
which is a very vague statement,
but they're saying this is the level of income
that you'll be comfortable enough
to achieve happiness in your relationships
and in your day-to-day life
because like it or not
financial stability is a part of that, right?
Unfortunately it is.
If you can't pay for the groceries or the power
you're probably not happy.
Money can be one of the biggest stressors of everything.
Absolutely.
So this study, it was in 2020,
so it does predate the current cost of living crisis and inflation,
but it gives you a rough idea.
Right.
And it's in New Zealand dollars.
Okay.
Okay.
So according to behavioral science experts,
the salary that you need to earn each year
to put yourself in the best position to be happy,
between 80 and 117,000 New Zealand dollars.
Well, that's ridiculous, isn't it?
I don't even know what's the average.
I don't know what the average is.
It's below that.
But way to put happiness out of reach.
Wow.
On the flip side, though, if you're going,
oh, well that's unachievable,
they've said that any money that you earn over that
has no impact on your happiness
whatsoever. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That once you tip over that mark
Oh, I call BS on that. Doesn't impact your happiness
whatsoever. If I'm earning $5 million a year, I'm
happy every day. Claude looks a bit
irate. What are your thoughts on the study there, Claude?
Does that compute with you?
A bit unattainable.
God.
But when you get there, you'll be so happy.
When I get there.
Dream, believe, achieve.
I work in radio.
I know my budget.
Free and Clint.
And that's the end of the show.
Hey, thanks for dusting off your radio headphones And coming in To help out for the day

Say whatever you like
Coming back into something

And I feel
I kind of
Think I did okay
Hopefully you haven't had
Any broadcasting standards
No no no
You've done fine
But I definitely know There's moments where you're like,
can I say this?
Yeah.
Because you can say whatever you want on your podcast.
I mean, look, I do.
The Girls Uninterrupted available now on all good podcasting platforms.
