Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her.

Starting point is 00:01:47 You need to chuck a minimum of 15. Yeah. Yeah. Chuck 15, replace them with 15. Because if you don't, if you don't, they'll all get jumbled up and then you won't know what are the fresh and what are the old. Yeah, it is. Trust me, I'll know.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yeah. And I will know because you can tell.

Swab a pair that you've been wearing for a month, swab a pair that you've been wearing for the last, I don't know, six years. Oh, it's all going to be the same, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:02:21 Is it? Yeah. Do you reckon? They all go through the washing machine. No, but I'm wondering if there's like cumulative bacteria that builds up. What, you think they grow like alternate universes in there or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only one way to find out.

Starting point is 00:06:17 I was watching this video today which talked about the perfect parent names, which I found very relatable. Have a listen to this. Does anyone else have parents who have, like, perfect parent names? Like, my very relatable. Have a listen to this. Does anyone else have parents who have like perfect parent names? Like my parents' names are John and Lisa. Like that's a mum and a dad. There's literally no, it's no buts. John and Lisa are a mum and a dad.

Starting point is 00:07:16 I'll take 15 of them right now. I do accept that my dad's name is made up, so it's kind of hard. To me, they're parent names, but my dad is what's known in the business as an imaginary name. I always forget your dad's name. Let me see if I can remember it, because it's unusual. Yeah. I got your parents' names off the bat, but your dad's name is Stephen.

Starting point is 00:16:49 Bree and Clint. You might have seen in the news over the weekend the man who found a Mars bar without its signature chocolate swirl on the top. God, I hate to be someone in the NZ Herald comments. Slow news day. Yeah, right? Right? But this is kind of the news that we're looking for at the moment.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Hey, at least it's light and fun. No one gets harmed. But also a Mars bar with no chocolate ripple on the top. What? WT actual F. Like, are you serious, man? Harry Seeger's 34. He caused an online S storm when he posted the picture of it.
Starting point is 00:17:24 He posted it in the Dull Men's Facebook page which is actually a very good page. It's just lots of mundane stuff like this that really gets the people going. Anyway, he bought the now famous Smooth Mars bar from a petrol station
Starting point is 00:17:40 in the UK near Birmingham. Right. Opened it. No chocolate ripple on top. You can see it, Bree. It's just... It's flat. It's smoother than a Tim Tam. Yeah. It's just flat. And it looks so weird. It does look weird. It doesn't look like a Mars bar. He contacted Mars and they...
Starting point is 00:17:55 What? What did they say? They said... Wait, wait. We've made contact with Mars? Yeah, Mars. What? Mars Wrigley. This is the news story. Who make the Mars bar. This is crazy. Is there life with Mars? Yeah, Mars. What? Mars Wrigley. This is the news story. Who make the Mars bar. This is crazy. Is there life on Mars?
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah, the people who work there? Yeah. Martians. No. Mars said that the smooth Mars bar is extremely rare and it should never have been released. Scandal on Mars. He is receiving financial compensation for this
Starting point is 00:18:28 to the value of two Great British Pounds and an apology. Is that how much the Mars Mars were? Correct. They refunded his money and they apologised to him. I don't think they needed to do either. I think they wear it. I think be grateful for the experience. Obviously, it's a big deal. Obviously, if they're going to grateful for the experience. Obviously it's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Obviously if they're going to issue a statement about it, it's a big deal. You got a free Mars bar out of it. It's incredibly rare. That's why this afternoon I've had our producer Ella go and purchase some Mars bars. And this is such a lottery. Yeah, that's the only reason we had her go and purchase
Starting point is 00:19:01 some Mars bars. They didn't get footage of Harry Seeger opening his Mars bar. We don't know if that's legit. We are being filmed. We are broadcasting. This is being documented. This is live. If we open this and we get a smooth Mars bar
Starting point is 00:19:16 with no ripples on the top, you're right, Claudia, we're in the goddamn money. We're rolling in it. Aren't we? So, Brie, when you're ready, we will open. Okay, I'm opening now. Okay, I haven't looked at the top yet. Oh, my God, mine's flat.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Turn it over. Oh. Wait, Ella did get us a two-pack. Oh, hold on. Oh. Oh. Oh. We should have melted them a bit before this break So that we could flatten them out
Starting point is 00:19:48 And then we could have pretended that we got smooth ones That would have been better radio, eh? Could have To be honest, I'm just here for the free Mars bar Yeah, me too Yeah Dean McCarthy, Nick Bree and Clint
Starting point is 00:19:59 Time to head to LA and get the latest From iHeartRadio This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, who is it from the Harry Potter cast who's been done for tax evasion? Oh my gosh, that's just so dramatic. Rupert Grint, he obviously played Ron Weasley in Harry Potter.
Starting point is 00:20:19 No, Ron, no! You need to salary sacrifice! I shouldn't laugh because this is rough. But let me just say this. Basically, well, he allegedly, just so I don't get sued, I don't need to say this. He allegedly miscategorised a particular type of earning, a revenue, and that was then obviously taxed at a lower tax bracket,
Starting point is 00:20:42 but actually it was a different type of earning. And so he's looking at, just to give you some context, we're talking like four and a half million pounds. Oh, holy. Now, I know. I don't even know what that is in New Zealand dollars. What is that in New Zealand dollars? It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:20:57 A hell of a lot. The issue here is also he's the cast member who hasn't continued working. So bloody Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have gone off to do other movies and other projects. But he said, famously, I've had enough. I'm going to buy my ice cream truck and I'm just going to live a happy life. And we were so happy for him. And I don't imagine that he's done this on purpose. He doesn't look like the tax evading type.
Starting point is 00:21:21 You know how these things go, though. Like, he wouldn't be looking after his estate. Like he wouldn't be doing his taxes and stuff. I mean he could have known but how do we know? Apparently he's worth like somewhere between 50 and 100 million Dean. Oh well then that's Trump change.
Starting point is 00:21:38 He can find that in his couch. He just needs to go into the dashboard of his car and pick out a couple of mil. This is not the first time this has happened. Look at Shakira, Shakira. Her hips don't lie, but her tax lawyers do. You're dead right, Dean. Oh, poor old... Just like you said, a lot of these celebrities
Starting point is 00:21:55 have a lot of financial managers and, you know, so maybe it's his fault. He'll pick up a Netflix season like that. He can just do one or two seasons. He'll just cast a spell and make it all go away. He went to that wizard school, didn't he? He wasn't the best wizard at the school, though. Yeah, it's true.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah, yeah. It's true. No, Rob, no. That's the latest from D. McCarthy. Rob's been splanched. I'll be back after this. Bree and Clint. Over the weekend, my partner and I, We went to a Christmas tree farm
Starting point is 00:22:26 Oh yeah For the first time ever It was real fun Went to the Christmas tree farm To pick out a Christmas tree So we could have our first Christmas tree ever together You've never had a Christmas tree together? Nah, well we've had puppies in the past
Starting point is 00:22:44 And then, you know, we just thought it'd be a bit of a hazard. But we've had, we've made Christmas trees out of lights on the wall, but that's not a real Christmas tree. It definitely isn't. People with cats do that a bit too and they'll hang something from the ceiling and they'll be like, this is our special Christmas tree.
Starting point is 00:22:59 It's our first real Christmas tree and when I say real, it's a real one. Did you do that thing where you go out into the paddock and then you've got the flag and you put the flag up and the guy comes over and cuts the tree down for you? No, you cut it down yourself. Really? Yeah, we just got in there with a hacksaw and... Hacksaw?
Starting point is 00:23:18 Yeah. You cut a tree down with a hacksaw? Boom. Okay. See you later. BYO saw? No, they provide the saws. Boom. Okay. See you later. BYO saw? Nah, they provide the saws. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Yeah. And then you cart it back and then they wrap it up real tight and then you throw it in the back of the car. In the back of the car, not on the roof? Well, ours could fit in the car.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Oh, yeah. Or maybe, yeah. I mean, I think it's about 1.8 metres. Oh, yeah, decent sized Christmas tree. Pretty big Christmas tree. Yeah. But I was reading this interesting article where recently they did a survey
Starting point is 00:23:48 across the ditch in Australia and they were asking people, like, do you have a Christmas tree, do you not, is it real or is it fake? Yeah. And apparently, what would you say were the percentages? According to this survey, around 60% of people in 2023 had a Christmas tree. Yeah. And of that 60%, how many do you reckon had a plastic tree and how many had a real tree?
Starting point is 00:24:19 In Australia? Yeah. So I'd imagine it's too hot for a real tree in many parts of Australia at this time of the year. Just dry out. Yeah. So I'd imagine it's too hot for a real tree in many parts of Australia at this time of the year. Just dry out. Yeah. No one wants a dead looking tree come December 21st, do they? I'd say it's 70%
Starting point is 00:24:35 fake tree, 30% real tree in Australia. 69% plastic tree, 22% had fake non-plastic trees, and 9% had a real pine tree. Can I get those numbers again? 69% what? Had a plastic tree.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Yeah. And 22% had a fake non-plastic tree. What's a fake non-plastic tree? Yeah. Fake non-plastic. Fake non-plastic tree. Yeah. Fake non-plastic. Fake non-plastic. Wonder what that means. Anyway, apparently they're talking about now how real Christmas trees they reckon is on the rise.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Really? It's trending up. It's coming back. It's coming back. That's what people are doing. People just hate the admin of getting rid of it in the new year, though. That's the difficult part. Because they don't break down.
Starting point is 00:25:30 You like huck it in the back lawn and then there's still some Christmas tree carcass there a year later. Well, because we got that baby chainsaw, we're just going to chainsaw ours. Chop it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Put it in the green bin. Hey, it's allowed in there, right? It's allowed in there. It's allowed in there.
Starting point is 00:25:44 But people are saying Put it in the brazier Yeah, why not Yeah They're saying it's better for the environment Is it? For real trees Okay
Starting point is 00:25:53 Because the fake ones are made of plastic And they're all made Yeah, but I have my fake one for 15 years Yeah, but I don't know They're on the rise apparently And I thought that's why we could play the game real or fake. Christmas tree. Christmas trees.
Starting point is 00:26:10 So you can call us up if you have a Christmas tree and we're going to guess. Do you reckon we not ask any questions or we just... Just on vibe. Just on the vibe of someone, whether they're real or fake. We're going to talk to them for a bit to get the vibe though. Yeah. So just a bit of chatty ban they're real or fake. We're going to talk to them for a bit to get the vibe, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:27 So just a bit of chatty banter. Just about whatever. Yeah, we'll just shoot the shit and then we reckon we can guess. If you're real or you're fake. I mean, if you have a real or fake Christmas tree. You need to have
Starting point is 00:26:37 your Christmas tree up. Yep. Okay, December 2nd, your Christmas tree must be up to participate in Brian Clint's Real or Fake Christmas Tree. But yeah, $800 a dim.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I reckon we can do it. Piece of cash, mate. This'll be easy. I reckon we've got people's number. We, you and I read the vibe of people very well. We're vibesters. That's right. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Real or fake? That is the question. Let's give them a squeeze and find out. Your Christmas tree, that is. Your Christmas tree. Did I not mention that at the top? Nah. We believe. That could have been misleading. We can vibe you out and figure out
Starting point is 00:27:13 if you're running a real awesome fakey in the Christmas tree department. I think we've got a spare spot for this too, if you want to play. Sophie's here. Hi, Sophie. Hi, Sophie. Hello. We can say it now. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Is your tree up
Starting point is 00:27:29 an atom Sophie? Yes it is. Okay. Lovely. Lovely. And when you wrap your presents under the tree what wrapping? Are you like someone that takes a lot of care? Ah yes. Oh okay.
Starting point is 00:27:46 This is quite a personal Christmas question. I thought we were just going to vibe her out. Oh, that's right. I was just interested to know. Sophie, how's it hanging? Yeah, it's a beautiful day. Yeah. Yep.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Sophie. Yeah. Sophie, what's your favourite movie? Oh. Yep. Sophie. Sophie, what's your favourite movie? Oh, I'm going to go with a Christmas one and say The Polar Express. Oh, she's Christmassy. Sophie, I'm going to head to the bar and get a drink. Can I get you something? Vodka Cranberry.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Vodka Cranberry. Vodka Cranberry. Okay. I get the vibe that she's very into Christmas. Me too. Which would lead me down the path of more real Christmas tree. Yeah. But we have to remember real Christmas trees, not as common.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And a lot of admin. I think you're right about her being very Christmassy. She seems very Christmassy. So I think she's got a perfect fakie for a tree. And she knows it's going to come out of the box every year. It's going to be perfect. Are you 100% Silicon Valley, Sophie? Fakie?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Yes. Fake Christmas tree. That's good. But you're super into Christmas, aren't you? Yeah. I can feel that vibe about you. You've got that aura. Okay, Merry Christmas.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Merry Christmas. Let's get Ruby on. Okay, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Let's get Ruby on. Hi, Rubes. Hi, Ruby. Hi. What's going on? No, not much. Just pulled up to KFC, actually.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Oh, KFC. What's your order? What's your KFC order? A big bucket for the kids. God, you're the best mum. Can I be one of your kids? You don't feel like cooking dinner, eh, Ruby? Yeah, no, I just didn't feel like it this evening. You called us right on a specific time as well.
Starting point is 00:29:31 That means Ruby's a low admin person. She's a low admin person. Pretty low admin, yeah. And then we transfer that to tree. Surely she's a fake Christmas tree kind of person. Which, Ruby, I'm a fake Christmas tree person. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not a criticism.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Are you locking it in now, yeah? I'm waiting for Bree. Wait, wait. I'm waiting for Bree. She's got kids. Yeah. And personally, growing up, we always had a real one. That's because my dad would go out into the forestry
Starting point is 00:29:59 and cut one down and steal it. But there's just something about that pine needle smell. Maybe Ruby wants to give her kids that experience. You can get that out of an Akoya candle these days. But I also think she's CBF. Fake Christmas tree, lock it in, Ruby. We're running a fakie, Ruby? Yeah, yeah, it's a good fakie, but it's a fakie.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Yeah! All done. Merry Christmas, Ruby. Merry Christmas, Rubes. Merryy, but it's a fakey. Yeah! All done. Merry Christmas, Ruby. Merry Christmas, Rubes. Merry Christmas, guys. Enjoy that KFC. We're two from two. Let's go for the whole hog with Nicole.
Starting point is 00:30:32 G'day, Nicole. Hi, Nicole. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thank you. Nicole, what's up? What is up? I have just finished work for the day and I'm just about home.
Starting point is 00:30:42 What about you? Nicole, how are you doing? I'm tired and worn out, but I'm good. Oh, you know what I like about Nicole? She's upfront. She's honest. Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I'll tell you how it is. I'm a school teacher. It's nearly the end. It's nearly the holidays. She's busy. You're due for a holiday. Nicole, what's for dinner? Oh, that's a really good question.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Whatever's in the fridge. I like it. Nicole does not have time to piss around with a real Christmas tree She's running a fake Christmas tree Yeah but I think she's up front She's honest, she's real Which is why I'm going to lock in real tree Okay we're split on this one Only one of us can get the perfect record
Starting point is 00:31:24 Nicole in the Christmas tree department. What have you got set up at your house? Yeah, sorry. I've got a fake one. I don't have time for a real one. Sorry, Bree. I think Bree knew it was a fake one. She was just holding out
Starting point is 00:31:40 hope that maybe you would get a real one. Yeah. Have you thought about it? Do you know what? For years we've always had it but I'm sick so we put it up the first weekend so we put it up last weekend and by the time it gets to Christmas you've spent $150 on a tree and it's dead.
Starting point is 00:31:58 My mum doesn't even care. She goes, I don't care how dead it is. I will leave it up till past New Year. You have to, don't you? Hey, if I can urge you guys at least once in your whole life, just get a real tree. Just to experience it. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Time to play How Many. How Many. How Many. How Many. How Many. That's a good amount. This is the game that Ella invented where the goal is to have the most of something. Yes, exactly that.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Today's topic is pretty good. And as you said, everyone will be able to answer this. Yeah. So I want you to go into your phones again and find how many unopened texts you have. Unread text messages of what you're after. Unopened, unread text messages. Okay. Don't give me any clues.
Starting point is 00:32:46 No. Okay. Because we're going to go to our player, Anthony. Hi, Anthony. Hello, Tony. Hey, how's it going? We're good. So, Tony, the idea of the game here is you want to have the most,
Starting point is 00:32:58 but it does hinge on a bit of honesty. You'll give us an honest answer of how many unopened texts you've got on your phone, won't you? Yep. Yep. you? Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Perfect. Anthony.
Starting point is 00:33:09 All right. So we're going to go ask Anthony first, and then Anthony gets to choose a player to go up against. I think it's Anthony. Wait, what? Anthony? No, I'm just being spritzy and funny. Is it actually Anthony? Is it Anthony or Anthony?
Starting point is 00:33:22 It's Anthony, but I get caught all of it. Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. Was I right? No, no. It's all good but I get caught all of it. Oh, okay. Sorry, Ant. Was I right? No, no, it's all good. So we're going Ant? Yeah. Okay, Anthony, you're going to choose.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I'm going to go with A-Town. Okay, A-Dog. A-Dog, you can choose who to go up against, Bree, Clint or Producer. No, he hasn't even told us his number yet. No, I know that. I'm just giving him the rundown of the game. Let me do this.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Now, Anthony, you can tell me how many unopened ticks you have. One. What? One. One. Who's it from? It's from One New Zealand. Oh, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Fair enough. So just to clarify, Anthony, you need to pick someone who, to win, you need to pick someone who has zero. None. I can tell you, T-Bone, that that person does exist. Yeah. There is at least one person on this team that has zero unopened texts. But it's up to you to figure out who that is.
Starting point is 00:34:20 What are you feeling? What's it going to be, Bobby? You got Bree over there? To be honest, I feel... Claudia out there? I feel like Bree, Bree would be that person to have the less.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Why? I don't know. I feel like Bree wouldn't, she wouldn't be able to deal with having the notification of a text message there. Yeah, right. Okay, good theory.
Starting point is 00:34:41 So you want to lock in Bree? Yeah, I'll lock in Bree. All right, you will be eliminating Claudia, who currently has how many unopened texts? I have exactly four unopened texts. Oh, good call there, Anthony. Good call, Anthony.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Hey. You are eliminating me, Seedog. How many? How many, Clint? Who currently has zero unopened texts. Oh, my gosh. I never have unopened texts. I never have unopened texts.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Really? I run a zero text game. Oh, no, not me. Which just leaves Bree. Big boy Thonny. Why do you have Bree? I can report that my unread text messages... I've got 451.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Oh! Oh, no. Can I check? You can check. Brianna! I have never seen this in my life. You're joking. These are your text messages, not your emails.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I liked where Anthony was going because someone with ADHD, either you can't literally have anything or you go the opposite way like me. And you have all of it. There's a text here from someone four days ago that says, I am at your door. Who is that? Is that person still there? Dan Lavender.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Oh, I haven't seen him for a week. He's at your door. Anthony, you don't get the win, but we can give you some free KFC, okay? Yeah, you've been a good sport. Sounds good. Thank you. Sweet as. Hey, Town Down.
Starting point is 00:36:00 451. It must be some kind of a record. What do I win? Can you see? Piece of mind? Yeah. Because that's what I really want for Christmas. 151. It must be some kind of a record. What do I win? Can you see? Can you... Peace of mind? Yeah. Because that's what I really want for Christmas.
Starting point is 00:36:10 450 unread text messages. Text us on 9696. Are you in the same boat as me? Do you have a ton of unread texts? What does it stress you out like it stresses me out? I mean, I feel like I... Let's just say... I feel like texts are the ones to open. You can leave emails, I feel like I... Let's just see. I feel like texts are the ones to open.
Starting point is 00:36:26 You can leave emails. I feel like texts are important. Let me just scroll, scroll, scroll, and I'll just see. Text roulette. Here's one from ex-producer of the show. Where are you? We're back at the same spot with Mikal.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Hurry up. Who's that from? It's from ex-producer of the show, with McHale. Hurry up. Who's that from? It's from ex-producer of the show, Ellie Harwood. There you go. I haven't seen her for weeks either. She's at the spot with McHale. Yeah, right. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I was reading this thing today. You know how they say men are from Mars and women are from Venus or whichever way around it goes? Something like that. That we're different, right? And then people are like, no, we're not. There's a study that's been done here in New Zealand that has identified
Starting point is 00:37:07 significant gender related differences between the male and female brains. And they reckon it explains a lot of the things about how we, why we behave the way that we do. Yeah, no shit Sherlock. I could have told you this. Yeah. We are different, hey? Of course.
Starting point is 00:37:24 We are different. We're fuelled by different hormones. We think differently about. Yeah. We are different, hey? Of course. We are different. We're fueled by different hormones. We think differently about certain things. We have different priorities. Yeah, of course we're different. Over 1,000 men and women aged between 22 and 35 each spent three hours inside an MRI scanner. Stuffed there. That sounds like my worst nightmare.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Three hours inside an MRI scanner. Ugh, yuck. I'm actually okay inside an MRI. I'm not. But I've only been in for like six or seven minutes. Three hours. Yeah, it's a long time. The doctors used advanced image Oh, here we go.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Do you need to go for an MRI? I think so. The doctors used advanced image technology to measure cellular microstructures deep within the people's brains. Okay. It's big, right? For the first time ever, these doctors were able to identify with reasonable accuracy whether the brain was a male or a female brain. That's a big study to be done here in New Zealand. Without knowing who it was. They were able to go, oh, that's a woman's brain, That's a big study to be done here in New Zealand. Without knowing who it was.
Starting point is 00:38:25 They were able to go, oh, that's a woman's brain, that's a man's brain. Yeah. It was a game. They found different structural blah, blah, blahs. Let's get to our differences. Structural, yada, yada, yada. Well, a lot of gaff, okay. A bit of brain matter, neurons, yada, yada.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And what did it come to? What was the conclusion? Men's brains. Okay, here's some cold, hard facts for you, neurons, yada, yada. And what did it come to? What was the conclusion? Men's brains. Okay, here's some cold, hard facts for you, okay, from the study. Men's brains tended to have a larger overall volume or size, so men have bigger brains. However, the larger size does not necessarily correlate with more intelligence.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Well, men are bigger normally in size, which would mean their brains are bigger. Do we have bigger heads, though? Depends who's head. Take your hat off. Give me your hat. I'll give you my hat. Oh, I've got a hat here. This is a very informal scientific test to see who has a bigger head.
Starting point is 00:39:20 We're waiting. Don't look at my hat here. Oh my god, do we have the exact same size head? This fits pretty good. Wow! We're waiting. Yeah. Don't look at my hat hair. Oh, my God. Do we have the exact same size hair? This fits pretty good. Wow. We have exactly the same hair. This fits me perfectly.
Starting point is 00:39:32 All right. Okay, cool. Research indicated that women typically had stronger connections between the left and right hemispheres of the brains. Right. So that said it enhanced their ability to communicate and empathise. Yeah, no shit. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:39:48 We knew that. We already knew that. We knew that. Males typically performed better in spatial tasks, such as navigation and visual spatial reasoning, which is things like solving puzzles and, Claudia, Rubik's cubes. How is that going, Claudia, Rubik's cubes. How is that going, Claudia?
Starting point is 00:40:07 It's not that I can't do it. It's just that I haven't done it. It's just that you have a woman brain. You want to give it to Clint's man brain. Give it a cramp when you say it like that. So why is this information important? They said understanding the differences can help in addressing gender-specific health issues like diagnosing ADHD. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Right? Yes. Also, recognising how brain variations influence learning styles means that you can tailor how you teach boys versus girls and maybe make it a bit more... Tailored. Specific. Depending.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Yeah, totally. That makes sense. Also, when your partner is being fricking annoying, now you can attribute it to their brain. Clearly, your left side of your brain isn't communicating with your right side of your brain. Unless of course you're in a same sex relationship, in which case you're screwed because you guys have the
Starting point is 00:40:52 exact same brain. So we already know. Yeah. But it's helpful. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting. I'm still blown away by the fact that we have the same size head. Wait, so that whole study that is groundbreaking, the results
Starting point is 00:41:08 This hat fits me perfectly. And Clint's more amazed that our heads are the same size. How tall are you? I'm 177. In feet and inches please? 5'10". You're 5'10". Yep. I'm 6'2". Yep. So I'm 4 inches taller than you and yet we have the same
Starting point is 00:41:23 size head. Does that mean that I have a small head for my size or you have a large head for your size? That's a great question. I have been told I've got a very large head. Yeah, right. And I've been told I have a pinhead. Well, we met somewhere in the middle. We are the perfect pair.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Our producer Claudia came to us today and she said, guys, I met someone over the weekend Met somewhere in the middle. We are the perfect pair. Bree and Clint. Our producer Claudia came to us today and she said, Guys, I met someone over the weekend who I believe has the coolest job title ever. You've hooked me in. You've hooked me in too. I need to know what job this person has. We have put it in prime time. Yeah. We have made this the centrepiece of the Bree and Clint show today.
Starting point is 00:42:03 A lot is riding on this. A lot of pressure, Producer Claude. Before we jump into it, is there anything you guys want to say to me? Happy birthday. No, it's not my birthday. Anything else that you want to say? You look lovely today. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Have you got new hair? Interesting you say that. So on the weekend, while I was at the hairdressers getting half of my hair cut off half of it it's gone. Thank you for noticing. Not one of you noticed. Not even you girls. It's your job to notice. No one has noticed.
Starting point is 00:42:35 I noticed. I did. I noticed. You didn't notice. But I was doing that thing where I knew everyone else would be complimenting you today and I was going to compliment you tomorrow to drag out the compliments. Can I say that I did notice? I did see you notice. I did notice.
Starting point is 00:42:51 And you saw that. But then I was like, oh, no, she probably hasn't. I was like, I think she has. And I was like, I got nervous. I was like, no, she hasn't. I'll be honest. I feel like you get your hair cut, like you either have it short, like exactly how you have it. I've never had it like this around you guys before,
Starting point is 00:43:07 but this is not the point of the story. I swear she has, is she not? Thank you very much. So while I was at the hairdressers this weekend, getting my hair cut. Yep. Looks great, by the way. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I really appreciate it. I was thinking it all day. Suits you so much that we didn't even notice. An unprompted compliment. Thank you, guys. You're welcome. So the person in the chair next to me, very chatty person. I'm very quiet at the hairdresser, so I just was saying absolutely nothing.
Starting point is 00:43:33 So I was eavesdropping on everything this person was saying. And they were talking about their job that they do back in Australia. Okay. Is it FIFO working? Fly in, fly out. Yeah, FIFO, FIFO. So they were asking about the mines and what they do at the mines. And she said...
Starting point is 00:43:47 It's going to be tough to have the coolest job title in the world if you work in the mines. A notoriously hard and, like, shit job. I mean, makes a lot of money, though. Makes a lot of money. She's mines adjacent. But her title... Give her a chance.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Exploration geologist. Oh! She sounds like Dora the Explorer. Oh, my God. What Dora would be doing when she grew up, right? She's a rock hunter. Yes. She's a rock hunter.
Starting point is 00:44:14 So she does all the site checks before the mines and finds all the samples and does all the stuff in the field. I mean, I've never heard of it. And when you said it out loud, it sounded cool. It's hot. Because geology rocks. Love it. Exploration geologist. I agree with you, that is a very
Starting point is 00:44:29 cool sounding job. Do we think the job sounds cooler than it actually is? Oh, 100%. 100%. She's in the high-vis. She goes and takes rocks up. She's working in the middle of nowhere. It would be pretty boring. She's just outside Perth. It's hot there, right? It would be so hot.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It would be so grim. But how cool does that look on a CV? Exploration geologist. It kind of gives you like a hunting for dinosaur bones vibe. Yeah, like archaeology-ish. I know it's not, but that kind of vibe, you know? Like Indiana Jones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Like you're out there. You're wearing your car keys. Yeah. What do we want from people this afternoon? Do we want people with titles that's cooler than the job actually is? Or do we want cool jobs? You know? I reckon either or.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Yeah, right. Either you have a job title that sounds awesome. And when you applied for it, you're like, this job sounds awesome. Like the job sounds amazing. It sounds really cool, but it's actually pretty average. Or you just genuinely have the coolest job, full stop.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Yeah. Like one or the other. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, came for that. Oh no, $800 a dim. Someone said that you dropped a hell of a good rock pun that none of us acknowledged. Yeah, I said geology rocks. Like Claudia's haircut went unnoticed. you dropped a hell of a good rock pun that none of us acknowledged. Yeah, I said geology rocks. Oh, yeah. Like Claudia's haircut went unnoticed.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Yeah, literally everyone ignored me and they just kept talking. Classic. Wait, you got a haircut? Sorry, I forgot again. You know that's how it works around here. Oh, wait, 100 dials at M. Or you can text to 9696.
Starting point is 00:46:02 We are looking for the coolest job title. Or. No, and or. are looking for the coolest job title. Or. No, and or. And or. The coolest job. The coolest job, period. Bree and Clint. Claudia, our producer, surprised us with a haircut today.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Very late in the piece. Which we 100% noticed and complimented her on accordingly. We've been looking at her all day and we didn't notice. We've been hanging out non-stop since 1pm. I feel so bad. I'm always the one that notices. No one in the office has noticed if it makes you feel better. No, that makes us feel worse. No, but I
Starting point is 00:46:34 think it's because this is what my hair used to look like, so there's photos of me with it. I think it's because it suits you so much. Exactly right. I've known you when you've had your hair like that and I just thought, yes I have. We've known each other a long time. Anyway, we'll deal with this. Too long.
Starting point is 00:46:47 We'll deal with this as a family. Yeah, family meeting after this, guys. But while you were getting your hair done, you heard someone beside you with the coolest job title ever, and that was? Exploration geologist. Exploration geologist. I think I know what I want to do with my life now.
Starting point is 00:47:01 They go hunting for rocks. Yeah. And places to go mining. Sounds so much cooler than most other job titles. Like project manager. Yeah, boring. Or quantity surveyor.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Boring. Don't even know what that is. So we're asking, do you have a cool job title? Or even better, do you have an actually cool job? Maddie has called up. Hi, Maddie.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Hi, Maddie. Hey, guys. Hey, guys. Good. You've got both. You've got cool title and cool job. I do. It's a double whammy.
Starting point is 00:47:30 I'm a manager of an escape room business, and my title is a head game master. Head game master. You're right. You've got a cool job title and a cool job. Yeah, it's a pretty good combo. Are you good at escape rooms? Absolutely love them. I'm good
Starting point is 00:47:50 at them, but it's a different story. Whereabouts, Maddie? Whereabouts is the escape rooms that you work at? Hamilton. I love it. I might come down. I love an escape room. I've heard Hamilton described as one big escape room before. Most people don't get out.
Starting point is 00:48:05 We're just kidding, Maddie. Thank you for the call. I love this text that's come through. They said, our work is really creative at making new job titles to support pay increases. Whenever someone has a new random job title, you know that their salary has been bumped up.
Starting point is 00:48:21 It's so good. So good. Someone else texted and they said, I thought my mum's job sounded cool. She's a phlebotomist. Turns out it's not. A phlebotomist? Do you want to have a guess what a phlebotomist is? A phlebotomist? Is it a phlebotomist?
Starting point is 00:48:35 Yeah, what's a phlebotomist? I was going to say a phlebotomist sounds way more extra. Sorry, you're right. A phlebotomist. A phlebotomist. Aren't they? It's something to do with like blood? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:46 They collect blood, wheeze and poos. Yeah. Yeah. They're the ones who do the blood samples and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Not that cool. Kind of yucky.

Starting point is 00:49:22 to enable them to live their best lives. Oh, fun. That's awesome, Robin. You have a rewarding job, Robin. Yeah. It is so cool, and I get to see so many wins for the kids. How long have you done that for, Robin? So just over three years.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Oh, yeah, that's a great job. Thanks for sharing. We appreciate that. That's very good. Someone said, I'm just a retail worker, but in a sex toy store. Ooh. Gives it a bit of flavour, a bit of spice. Someone else said, a mate of mine is in the Australian Navy.
Starting point is 00:49:57 His job title is Master of Warfare. He did very well with the ladies on a Saturday night when we were younger, simply by mentioning his job title. Master of Warfare. Master of Warfare. He did very well with the ladies on a Saturday night when we were younger, simply by mentioning his job title. Master of Warfare. Master of Warfare. That's a real thing? Apparently. Someone said,
Starting point is 00:50:12 Auckland Zoo had the best job titles. The lead zookeeper of the giraffes and zebras is Master Keeper of the Ungalites, which is the scientific name for large mammals with hooves. That sounds like it's something out of World of Warcraft or something. The master keeper of the Ungalites. I think I'm saying that correct. Either way.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Either way. Either way. Very cool. Someone else said, my job title, airplane stunt pilot. We've got that person here. Hi, Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Hi, Anonymous. Hey there, how are you? Are you really an airplane stunt pilot? Yes, I work with Red Bull. No freaking way. I didn't know we had any of those in New Zealand. How do you even get that kind of job, Anonymous? Well, I've just been flying planes since I was about 15.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Right. I've done a couple flights for the Air Force. What's that? I went to Australia recently and just did some work there. I was at the Melbourne Grand Prix. I did a show there.
Starting point is 00:51:18 How old are you, Anonymous? I'm 36. I was going to say, you sound young. What's the craziest trick that you can do? Oh, that's tough. I love doing barrel rolls and, yeah, just going vertical. Have you ever thrown up on yourself? When I was younger, that might have happened a bit.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah, what about in the plane? Yeah, that happens. That would have been me. Thanks, Anonymous. I work for Peter Alexander, the pyjama store, so I get to work in my pyjamas a lot. Best retail job ever.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Pretty good, yeah. Someone said, I'm an international quintuplet fund manager and life assistant. I'm a mum. I like the title, though. Makes it sound fancy as, doesn't it? Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:52:14 We were talking before about, do you have a cool job title? Someone said, I knew someone with the surname Ria. They were in the Navy and they were a gunner. Their title was Gunner Ria. You've been had on that one, I think. Do you reckon? Yeah. I mean, I hope it's true. I've got a cousin called Ria. That's why I could have kind of
Starting point is 00:52:34 maybe believed it. Is her first name what? Is her first name Dyer? No. Gunner Ria., diarrhea-a. Bring up the tone, guys. Come on, we're mature adults. We're mature and we're doing Birthday Banger, which is all about your 16th birthdays.

Starting point is 00:53:35 Right, that means, Esther, you were 16 in 2013 and on that day, this was at the top. Oh. Sounds like it fits you perfectly, Esther. I wish. Is that a Miley?
Starting point is 00:53:54 Are you not a fan? It's not my fave. Yeah, that's fair. Nothing is going right for Esther at the moment, is it? No, it's not going right for her. Must have been a bad year. Must be a bad year. Must have been a bad year. It's almost over.
Starting point is 00:54:07 It's a bad vintage. Wait there. We're going to do Al's birthday. G'day, Al. Hi, Al. How's it going? Good, mate. What have you been up to?
Starting point is 00:54:16 I've been delivering. Delivering what? Okay, I need to be clear. I'm a courier driver, so I've been delivering parcels. I'd say Christmas presents then, Al. I'm a courier driver, so I've been delivering parcels. I'd say Christmas presents there now. I'm just taking a guess. Yeah, it is. It's Black Friday and everything happening here.
Starting point is 00:54:30 It's been crazy. It's been crazy. I've been listening to you guys for so long, and oh, my Lord, this is the first time I've gone through. Wait a second, Al. There he is. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Welcome to the show for the very first time.
Starting point is 00:54:48 We appreciate you, Al. I was about to cuss very soon, but I thought I wasn't ready. No, don't cuss yet, okay? Give it 30 seconds and then you can cuss your head off. I know, mate. All good. All right, Al. All we need from you, mate, is your birthday.
Starting point is 00:55:01 All right, so it's 3rd of June, 1988. All right, that means you were 16, Al, in 2004. And we've done the calculations. You've waited long enough. Here's your birthday banger. Oh, it's a bit of spider bait. Black Betty. I love that.
Starting point is 00:55:21 That'll go hard in the career, Ben. I like that. I'm going to crank it up. Yeah, crank it up. Okay, wait I like that. Yeah, yeah. That is a banger. I'm going to crank it up. Yeah, crank it up. Okay, wait there, wait there, wait there. One more birthday banger for Jess. Hi, Jess.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Hi, Jess. Hi. What's up, Jess? How's your weekend gone? Pretty good. Got all the Christmas stuff sorted. Did you get some good deals? Well, I've already done that Christmas thing last month.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Oh, jeez, you're organised, aren't you? She's super organised. Very organised. Okay, well, let's see what you got for your birthday, Banger. What is your DOB? Birthday is the 10th, 91. All right, that means you were 16, Jess, in 2007. We've done some calculations, and this is your birthday, Banger. It's Britney, bitch.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Banger! Wow. Banger. Wow. What do you reckon, Jess? Yeah, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. I was deeply obsessed with this song. It was her song...
Starting point is 00:56:16 Her comeback. Her comeback song after she went through all that horrible stuff. And people gave it a bad rap. But I love it. It stood the test of time, though. It stood the test of time for me. Okay, wait there. We've got to choose between Spiderbait, Miley Cyrus, and Britney Spears.
Starting point is 00:56:31 I think it's pretty obvious from that reaction, isn't it? Give me more. We need some more. Jess, you've just won birthday banner. Congratulations. Awesome. Thank you. You're welcome, Jess.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Have a good afternoon. Brian Clint. Here it is from the year 2007. Your birthday banger is Britney's Gimme More on ZM. Brian Clint. You're going to have to remove me because I ain't going nowhere. We didn't hear a lot from the Unstoppable Danger Or the Incredible LIGO after that, did we?
Starting point is 00:57:09 We didn't We continued to hear from Miss Britney Spears Of course That album was released in 2007, of course After it was her comeback album And then the first performance she did Was at the MTV Awards Yes, with the snakes?
Starting point is 00:57:24 No, no, no, no, no, no. That was before. Oh, no, sorry, I'm getting them confused. Yes, but that was an iconic performance. With the pole. This one was with the pole, wasn't it? I don't, there might have been. Anyway, she came out in a sparkly bra and undies
Starting point is 00:57:38 and it was the first time she'd performed and people had seen her since, you know, she'd shaved her head and been through all that horrific stuff. And I literally follow this woman on TikTok who is studying, I think she's writing her PhD on the masterpiece that is the Blackout album and how genius it was. And she's, this woman reckons, she reckons that because people absolutely ripped Britney to shreds for that performance and said she was terrible and she didn't do anything.
Starting point is 00:58:12 And this woman's like, the reason why she literally had no energy and put no effort into it is because of the songs called Give Me More and She Gave You Nothing. Right. And I was like, whoa, if that's true, that's blown my mind. It's been a while. is because of the songs called Give Me More and She Gave You Nothing. Right, okay. And I was like, whoa, if that's true, that's blown my mind. It's been a while. Anyway, fantastic album. So many bangers on there. Bree and Clint. Look, I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:58:35 This idea for this next game came from an email I received this morning. Okay. I'm not going to say who it's from. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Is it a person with a real job? Yes. Okay. I'm not going to say who it's from. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Is it a person with a real job? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Received an email. There was a lot of, I would call, workplace jargon. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of it, which I'll be honest, I didn't understand. I feel a lot of it is unnecessary too. Yeah, because I don't have a real job. People put it in there to seem important.
Starting point is 00:59:03 I feel like it's superfluous. There's a big word to throw in there to make it sound like I'm not dumb. I just don't know workplace jargon because we don't have real jobs. No. Which is why I have come up with this game to test you, Clint Roberts, who doesn't have a real job, against the person who has a real job.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Welcome to the show, Crystal. Hello. Kia ora. Kia ora. You have a real job? I do have a real job. I do marketing for the South Waikato District Council. Oh, that's a real job. Yep, that's a full grown-up job. I love it. How is marketing for the South Waikato District Council going?
Starting point is 00:59:38 Fun. Yeah, it's good. I literally just am driving home with wet clothes because we did that water transition trick. You know where they cut a coconut and then it splashes the person? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, there's lots of fun stuff. Hey, the council sounds more fun than our job right now.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Sounds like a bit of fun. Okay, Crystal, you and I are going to go head-to-head in a real job. Word off? Yeah, it's a jargon off. A jargon off. Hey, no jargon off around here, guys. All right? Jargon off on your own time.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Okay. All right, so who would like to go first? I want to say Crystal. You can go first. I'm going to give you the workplace jargon and you're just going to tell me what it means in layman's terms, okay? Okay. All right, the first term I would like you to explain is what is an actionable item?
Starting point is 01:00:30 Oh, like an actual, that's kind of self-explanatory, like an actual actionable thing. So it can't be broad, I guess. It needs to be, like, specific. I feel like she's jargoned you with more jargon. You've jargoned me with jargon. She's jargoned with jargon. And now I'm out jargoned.
Starting point is 01:00:54 A specific thing to complete. That is spot on. Oh, she pulled it back. She pulled it back, and I'm going to give you the point, Crystal. Well done. Thank you. Well done. Clint. and I'm going to give you the point, Crystal. Well done. Thank you. Well done. Clint, what does the job jargon bandwidth mean?
Starting point is 01:01:11 Oh, now do you want the actual answer or shall I jargon you off a bit like Crystal did? Oh, I've been jargoned off enough actually. You've been jargoned off enough. I need some time to recover. Bandwidth, I believe, is how much data the company gets. I would have said the same thing.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Yeah. So don't feel bad. Apparently bandwidth is the job jargon used to describe the capacity to take on more work. I've got more bandwidth at the moment. If you want to pass on some of those actionable items, I'll be happy to do them. Why don't you say, I've got some free time. I've got some free time if you want me to do some of those tasks.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Okay, one nil on the jargon off. Okay, Crystal, next jargon off word for you or term. What is a deck? A dick. What is a deck? A dick. What is a deck? Like if someone is presenting a deck, this might be workplace specific, but I have heard of this before. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:02:22 It's not like a slideshow? That is, I'm going to give it to you. Where's not like a slideshow? That is... I'm going to give it to you. Where you put together a deck. It's like a PowerPoint presentation. Like a presentation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could you say a PowerPoint?
Starting point is 01:02:34 We all know what a PowerPoint is. Yeah. Right, Clint. Look, let's go a bit of a hard one. What does it mean if someone is 30,000 it's a 30,000 feet view guys I just think everyone needs to tackle this at a 30,000 feet view
Starting point is 01:02:51 a 30,000 feet view is when we zoom out for some perspective on the bigger picture and take a long term approach to what we're trying to achieve look I'm going to give you half a point I'm going to give you half a point. I'm going to give you half a point.
Starting point is 01:03:06 It's looking at something in the broadest sense. Right, okay. So I'll give you half a point for that. I'll take half a point. Okay, I've got one more which both of you can join in. Sure. What does it mean in workplace jargon to jump the shark? Oh, he's jumped the shark there.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Clint? Yes, Clint. Jumping the shark. Oh, he's jumped the shark there. Clint? Yes, Clint. Jumping the shark is to do something ridiculous and desperate. Crystal, do you want to add anything? Is it also like similar to jumping the gun, like doing something without really thinking it through? I mean, both great answers.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Technically, jumping the shark is a negative term that is used to describe when a brand is no longer preferred by customers. Oh! Essentially, I know where this term comes from. I learnt this term this year. It comes from the show Happy Days, when the Fonz jumped a shark. When they were desperate for ratings. Yeah, desperate
Starting point is 01:04:08 for ratings, jumped a shark on a jet ski and people just were like oh, the show's jumped a shark. The show's jumped a shark, it's over. You know what? I'm gonna give it to Crystal because she does have a real job title and she beat you. Yep, that was
Starting point is 01:04:24 low-hanging fruit and you capitalised on that. Crystal, you converted your leads and you have maintained equity and achieved bandwidth. Congratulations. Thank you so much. I think if we can circle back to this later on and it's all about balance and we... Let's put a pin in this and we'll jump on a call later. God, I'm glad I don't have to use any of those terms.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Bree and Clint. That will do us for another day of the Bree and Clint show. Done for the day. Done like a dinner. You're off for some garlic prawns that you haven't been able to stop talking about for three hours now. We've been hearing about Bree's garlic prawns. Mate, you know when your partner, they're at home, so they ask you, is there anything you feel like?
Starting point is 01:05:07 Is there anything you're vibing? Nothing worse when you have no suggestions. Yeah. Today, I knew. Because they're willing to do the hard work. All they need from you is the thought starter. This is your opportunity to be like, what about this? And how crap is it when you don't have any suggestions?
Starting point is 01:05:23 Yeah. Today, I knew exactly. It came into my brain. Garlic prawns with a side of asparagus. Sign me up. What do you serve the prawns on? Rice. Oh, yeah, nice.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Yeah. Yeah. Haven't had it in ages. Oh, nothing better than when you've got something. Does she do a good garlic prawns, your partner? Oh, very, very good. Oh, very, very good. Like, very, very good. I give it a 10.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Good answer. It's one of her 10s. She always asks me to rate her meals afterwards. Very heavy for you, yeah. And sometimes I don't rate them a 10. Is that bad? Nah, they want that. If you gave them all 10s.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I'm being honest. Yeah, if you gave them all 10s, the 10s wouldn't mean as much. It's true. Treat them mean, keep them keen. Honesty's key. Sometimes. I always give my wife a 10. Why?
Starting point is 01:06:09 Yeah, no, that's fair. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Can you imagine giving any less? Yeah, no, you've got to give her a 10 in your situation. The less she deserves. Have a great night, everybody, and we'll see you back tomorrow. All right, bye-bye.
