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.

Facebook's a weird place.
The comments are so interesting,
the comments you get.
And you can predict the type of comment you're going to get
based on the platform, you know?
Yeah, you can.
Instagram, pretty good.
Facebook, I feel like maybe it goes out a bit wider

Put some clothes on.

We kind of like them, so they're staying up.
It's for a good cause.

Congratulations, man.
Yeah, thank you.
50 bucks cash coming your way, Ruben.
We'll get it out to you.
Free and Clint.
Every now and then things get said and there's no taking them back.
Like you as the person who said them, you wish you could go back in time.
And sometimes when you hear these things, you could wish you could unhear them too,
but no chance.
Can't be done.
Producer Ella may have topped it all this afternoon
and said one of the dumbest things she's ever said. Thank you
for saying that because I was about to say it. I was like
nah, is that too mean? Ignorant.
Oblivious.
Oblivious for sure.
Oblivious.
Ignorant. Dumb.
Uneducated. It was
bad. It was the worst
one. You've said a lot of stuff
in our presence over the years,
Producer Ella.
I think of these as Ella-isms.
Thank you.
What were some of the other things she's said in the past?
Oh, I've said a few dumb things.
What were some of the other things?
Do you remember any of them?
Didn't I say electric lights wrong?
Oh, yeah, there's plenty of electric lights in Powerade.
I still don't get that one, but sure.
I'm talking about more that you don't know who historical
figures are. Yeah, I'm learning a lot
working with you guys and like iconic
artists like Whitney
Houston. Amazing!
Did you just say
Whitney Houston with a question mark?
With a question mark?
Let's focus on today.
Ella, please reveal to us
the revelation that you had over the weekend.
That Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson, they're siblings, right?
They're siblings.
What?
I promise you.
I'm not even joking.
I thought they were two separate people.
Where's Ashton Kutcher?
Yeah, right.
Why?
He's going to jump out and be like.
Are we being punked right now?
You're being punked. Also, no. She's like, who's Ashton Kutcher. Yeah, right. Why? He's going to jump out and be like... Are we being punked right now? You're being punked. Also,
no. She's like, who's Ashton
Kutcher and what is punked?
Janet Jackson
didn't sing that song Fast Car.
That's where I got confused. That's...
So I had to... Are you talking about
Tracy Chapman? Are you talking about Tracy Chapman?
Clint, Clint, Clint. Turn her
microphone off. She's bringing
our show down.
How did... How were you hired at a pop station?
Are we cancelled?
How was she hired here?
No, because you asked me any info on today's pop stars
and I can go off for an hour.
This is nearly as bad as when ex-producer of the show,
producer Ben, said, who are the Kardashians?
Oh, that's good.
That was the day that he told us that he didn't know there was a difference
between Nelly and Nelly Furtado.
I didn't know.
It was a good day.
I didn't realise there was a man Nelly and a woman Nelly.
Just back to you for a second.
Just back to you for a second.
Yes, yes.
So you thought, originally you thought Janet Jackson,
no relation to Michael, sung Fast Car.
Yeah.
Who is actually Tracy Chapman.
But that's Tracy Chapman.
Yes, no, I know who it is.
Yeah.
I'm just checking you know who it is.
This is really going to fry your brain then, Ella.
What?
Michael Jackson.
Janet Jackson.
Yeah.
Is this what she sings? Yeah. Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. Yeah. Is this what she sings?
Yeah.
Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson.
She would never have heard this song.
What's it called?
Scream.
I like it.
Far out.
Oh, some good music out there, isn't there?
Holy smokes.
For the record, for those new to the Brianne Clint Show,
Ella is 23?
Nearly 24.
Old enough to know better.
Did you grow up in a cult?
Like, serious question.
Yeah, did you grow up off-grid?
Did you grow up, like, in a community away from civilisation?
I know Brooke Fraser.
Like, am I going to watch a documentary soon Like in a community away from civilisation. I know Brooke Fraser.
Like am I going to watch a documentary soon and you're going to turn up on there being like, yeah.
No.
We didn't have electricity until I was 12.
She's cool.
You too.
I'm just finding Coldplay.
Yeah, okay.
Wait, oh, we need to do the what's-her-name test.
What?
The test that we've done on all the producers over the years.
Okay.
You'll know it when I say it.
Producer Ella, do you know who Moby is?
Moby Dick?
Yep, that's who we were talking about.
Yeah.
Who's Moby?
Moby Dick.
Is this a joke?
The whale.
Yep.
Is that the whale?
Big, white, bald whale. I thought Michael Dick was a
poet. No, we're talking about Moby.
Do you know this? No.
That's the test. Who is that?
Claudia, you know who that is, eh? Of course.
Grew up on Moby.
Do you know who Janet Jackson is? Yeah, it's Michael Jackson's
sister. I feel like Claudia might be one of the best producers we've had
In terms of knowing who people are
Let's, look, let's have a confession session this afternoon
On 0800 dial ZM
Much like Ella's revelation that Michael and Janet are brother and sister
Actually she didn't come to us with that
She said they were related
Yeah
She said she found out Michael and Janet Jackson were related.
Brother and sister.
Were they in Jackson 5 together?
They were, right?
No.
Oh.
Michael was.
Yeah.
Janet was never in the Jackson 5.
The Jackson 5 were made up by Michael and his brothers.
Okay, yeah.
Cool.
Yeah.
Oh, $800 a day.
You're learning every day.
What was your shocking realisation?
Everybody else knew it.
Yeah. But you were maybe the last person you know to realise this thing.
Doesn't have to be music related.
Can be to do with anything.
It's like when I realised there's multiple famous afflicks.
Oh, Ben and Casey.
Yeah?
Yeah.
There's a few of them.
Are they related?
Yes, they're brothers.
Are they?
Yeah.
Bree and Clint. Our producer Ella, who we love, who're brothers. Are they? Yeah. Bree and Clint.
Our producer Ella, who we love, who we love.
Love her.
Yeah.
It's like getting to relive your youth when you talk to Ella, isn't it?
The naive little butterfly.
She came to us with a revelation before about Michael and Janet Jackson.
That revelation was?
That they're siblings.
Brother and sister.
Wait, who's older?
She was shocked.
Who's older?
Well, Janet, because Michael's dead.
Well, yeah, that could be anyway.
So now she's second guessing everything.
Ella said to us just before we went on air,
wait, if they're related,
what about Randy Jackson from American Idol?
Well, yeah, someone text that in.
No, he's not related.
He's not in the Jackson 5 anyway.
But this might blow your mind.
Did you know Randy Jackson was in this band?
No.
He was in Journey.
Today keeps getting better and better.
You guys are like an encyclopedia.
Did that one actually blow your mind, Claude?
Are you being serious?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amazing.
I had no idea.
So we want to know,
forgive him for not knowing that one,
but we want to know the things you should have known.
Claude, did you just think Randy Jackson
just got the job on American Idol just because?
I mean, I kind of assumed he was like a producer or something.
I was like, it's not for me to know.
He's that as well.
But they had to have some people on the show
that could actually sing, because I know for me to know. He's that as well. But they had to have some people on the show that could actually sing
because I know Simon Cowell can.
Anyway.
So we want to know what was your shocking realisation.
Samantha's caught up.
Hi, Samantha.
Hi, Samantha.
Hi.
What did you realise?
That when you buy your car cleaning chemicals,
that the bucket it comes in is what you're meant to put the water in
to wash your car.
It's so good.
Whoa! What do you think it was for?
Well, I don't know. I was like, oh, I need to find
myself a bucket. And I was like, oh.
How convenient.
That's amazing.
It was just right there.
You just thought it was packaging, eh?
I really did. Which makes you wonder,
those buckets of shots that you can buy from the liquor store where it's a whole lot of shot glasses inside the bucket,
are you meant to do your shots out of that big bucket as well?
You use it as the king's cup.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
You'd make a good fishbowl with that bucket.
You could.
Yes, you would, Samantha.
And then you could wash your car with it as well, Samantha.
Thanks so much.
Let's talk to Ciali on 0800.
Hi, Ciali. Hi, Ciali. G'day, guys. How are you? We're well, Samantha. Thanks so much. Let's talk to Ciali. I know $800 at him. Hi, Ciali. Hi, Ciali.
Yeah, hey guys. How are you?
We're good, thanks. Ciali, what blew your mind, mate?
Mate, I'm originally
from the islands, so when I came here
I, um, to take the
plate thing to a party, so I
was always like, I'll just take my plate.
And, um, you know,
mum's like, hey, make
sure you get the good plate.
Take the good plate with you. Take the nice plate.
Take the big one.
Take the nice plate.
That's right.
And then for a while, I was like,
that's just what you do until, you know,
when they said, mate, that brings...
Yeah, who told you?
Who was the one that broke it to you
that you were meant to have food on that plate?
Yeah, a friend of mine, great mate,
and it was his birthday party,
and he was like, bro, have you brought anything?
I'm like, yeah.
Yeah, like.
No, you're supposed to share some stuff,
like pizza.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the go.
That is bloody brilliant.
I put it down to can't speak English, you know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's a cultural difference you need to get used to.
Thanks, Ciali.
We appreciate it.
Sophie's here on 0800 dials at M.
Hi, Sophie.
Hi, Sophie. Hi, Sophie.
Hi.
Tell us what blew your mind recently, Soph.
So a couple years ago, I only just found out that Marilyn Monroe died.
Wait, she's dead?
You just found out Marilyn Monroe died?
Yeah, like I just never knew.
Were you devastated?
Yeah, I was like, oh, why didn't I know this?
Let's just look up when she died.
I think she died in like the 50s.
Yeah, like a long, long time
ago. Yeah.
And to put it into context, when were you born, Sophie?
1998.
Okay, so Brie's got
the data here. Brie's got it.
Yeah, Sophie,
she died in 1962.
Yeah, I don't
know why.
I just, I knew
it was an icon,
but I just, that
was, yeah, I
never knew she
actually died and
then one day I
found out, like,
messaged everyone
being like, oh
my God, Marilyn
Monroe.
You know what's
really sad is she
was only 36.
I know, that is
really sad.
How sad is that?
I know. Thank you for your honesty, Sophie. We appreciate it. No, yeah, yeah. I know. That is really sad. How sad is that? I know.
Thank you for your honesty, Sophie.
We appreciate it.
No, yeah, yeah.
No worries.
We didn't laugh at you.
We didn't laugh.
Sophie, also, sorry for your loss, your recent loss from 1962.
I know.
It was hard.
See you soon.
The Randy Jackson plot thickens.
And I'm sorry I missed this bit, but I did note this is true.
So Randy Jackson from American Idol,
we revealed earlier that he's in Journey.
Because Ella was concerned that Randy Jackson from American Idol
might be Michael Jackson's brother.
He's not, but Michael does have a brother called Randy Jackson.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Full circle.
He's like one of the oldest brothers.
Yeah, but it's not Randy Jackson.
Randy Jackson is not Randy Jackson from American Idol.
But I mean, Jackson's not that of an unusual last name, is it?
No.
This is a good one from the text machine.
I knew this, but I want to see if you guys did.
That pineapples grow on the ground and not in a tree.
Ooh.
Did you guys know that?
No, I didn't know that.
So it's literally a plant on the ground.
Yeah.
And it's like this huge, like, and all these frongs come out
and the pineapple sits in the middle.
And do you cut it off from the bottom?
And you cut it off, yeah.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now that you say that, I can see it on the bottom.
Yeah.
But I imagined them hanging from pineapple trees.
Yeah, nah.
Okay.
Someone else.
Someone said, I didn't know Flo Rida was from Florida.
Hence the name.
Hence the name, Flo Rida.
Flo Rida.
Someone said, I thought for years that Chopper from that Friday show in New Zealand was the real Chopper.
You know, the guy that pretends.
From Seven Days.
You know, the guy that pretends the Aussie comedian.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he plays the character Chopper, Reed, but it's not the real one.
It's not the real one, no.
Someone said,
I only recently found out that Mia Khalifa is not related to Wiz Khalifa.
Who is Mia Khalifa?
Someone else said,
I didn't know squash was played with rackets until I was 40.
I thought it was like handball in an enclosed room.
God, I tell you, Susan Devoy would be rolling over.
Wouldn't she?
All the hard work she did for squash has gone out the window.
How dare you guys.
The final one that's just come in, I didn't realise that cows don't have upper teeth.
Neither did I. What? Cows don't have upper teeth. Neither did I.
What?
Cows don't have upper teeth.
Do they not?
How do they chew their grass?
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure they do.
True, we're just reading these out of spec.
Now, there's nobody fact-checking this.
You know, there was something in my recent years
when I found out that I didn't know,
is I didn't realise until we got our first dog, Whitney,
I didn't realise that dogs lose their baby teeth
and then grow their actual teeth like humans.
No, I didn't know that either.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, mind-blowing.
So you can collect them, eh?
You can, yeah.
They fall out.
We've done some fact-checking.
Cows have no upper front teeth.
What?
Cows have lower incisors and an upper dental pad.
The pad is an area of hard gum tissue that the lower front teeth grind against.
What in the world?
I did not know that.
Put that up there with babies don't have kneecaps.
Wow.
You know what does have a full set of teeth.
Oh, yeah.
They grow them, eh?
About five.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, dogs and cats don't? About five. Yeah. Also,
dogs and cats don't have butt cheeks.
Have you ever thought about that?
Or cats. I said dogs and cats don't have butt cheeks. Oh yeah, and
cats. You said that.
Just a straight bum hole, no cheek.
Bree and Clint from
iHeartRadio. This is
the latest live from LA
with Dean McCarthy. Dean, who is the very famous musician saying they're going to stop touring for a very, very long time?
Yeah, incredibly long time.
It is our favorite Adele.
She has actually said on stage in front of thousands of people that she said, I have 10 shows to do.
But after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time.
Now, here's the thing with Adele, right?
So she does this.
She releases an amazing album and that kind of thing,
and then she goes away for a couple of years,
comes back with a new album.
But the thing is, it's really smart because we then miss her.
Yeah.
And she's always so brilliant.
She doesn't just release stuff just to release stuff.
No shade to J-Lo, but at the moment,
J-Lo's been pumping out
movies and albums
and all this kind of stuff,
whereas Adele is so thought out,
you know?
And I,
obviously it's heartbreaking
that she's going to be gone
for a long time,
but I promise you
when she comes back
in a few years,
it'll be worth the wait.
You're so right about that
giving people the chance
to miss you thing.
There's no way
that the Oasis tour
would be as popular as it is
if they had still been touring
for the last 15 years.
No.
You go away,
you give people the chance to miss you.
What do they say?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
And I wonder,
this is not meant to be shady, by the way,
just like you weren't intentionally
throwing shade at J-Lo.
I wonder when we're going to get to that point
with Taylor Swift, you know?
Because there is maximum Taylor Swift saturation.
I wonder when Taylor Swift will want to or need to employ the less is more tactic.
Right, Dean?
Yeah.
So, Clint, so true.
So you might remember before she released, what album was it?
She disappeared for a year that time.
We didn't see her.
She was in the UK.
She wasn't photographed for a year.
I think she's ready for a break.
And I love Taylor Swift.
Oh, my God.
But she actually needs a break. After the tour, chill, go break. And I love Taylor Swift. Oh, my God.
But she actually needs a break.
After the tour, chill, go.
We don't want another album.
Go chill out.
I think it will be, I think it's a lot.
And I think we've all seen her in concert now.
50 million people would have went to it.
So I agree with you.
Go and chill.
Come back.
She will.
And she does.
Like when she goes off to write an album, she does go quiet.
Yeah.
Like she is known to do that.
Well, not this last one.
She wrote it on tour.
Yeah, well, I think she's never done a tour like this last one.
Like as big.
Yeah, yeah.
And for as long as what it's gone on for, so.
Yeah.
That's why we can't be in the same room as Dean McCarthy, you know?
Yeah, it's true. Yeah, it makes the want grow stronger.
Small doses, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's too potent. Small doses is best. Yeah, yeah's true. It makes the want grow stronger. Small doses, you know?
Small doses is best.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's like the concentrate you put in your washing machine.
You don't need a little bit.
Yeah, just a little touch.
Just a little taste.
Yeah.
I'll say, just on the topic of that, though, I remember this.
So remember when Selena Gomez was the most followed person in the world
on Instagram?
It was because she would just feed us every now and then posts. And that was
what they did research into this. She wasn't
every day. She wasn't punishing us. She wasn't on
50 stories a day. Every now and then she
would drop a photo and it was like
that kind of thing. Quality over quantity
is what you're saying, Dean.
Well, on that note, maybe we should take a break
and come back after this, you know? That's a good idea.
Less Brian Clint is more
Brian Clint. We'll play more songs.
If that's what you want.
That's our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
He's live out of Los Angeles on ZM.
Brian Clint.
How good was the first day of spring yesterday?
How good?
So good.
Such a nice day.
It was.
Wrong.
Spring.
Beautiful day.
September, October, November, summer, December, January, February, right?
No, wait, say again.
Spring, September, October, November.
Yeah.
Summer, December, January, February.
Yeah.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Huh?
Yesterday was not actually the first day of spring, I found out.
Are we still in winter?
We're still in winter.
What, are they just extending winter this year, are they?
I've been reading about it because I've been sort of hanging out for spring.
I've been telling my kids, it's almost here, guys.
We're almost out.
Been hanging out for it.
We're almost there.
But no, I read today that apparently the seasons line up with the summer and winter solstices.
The winter solstice in the southern hemisphere is the 20th of June.
That's when winter begins.
The summer solstice is on the 21st of December.
So that's actually when summer starts,
which means spring doesn't actually start until September 21.
So everyone yesterday.
Oh, it's ages away.
Everyone yesterday who put up pictures on their Instagram story
that said spring has sprung.
God, how embarrassing for them.
How embarrassing. God, how embarrassing for them. How embarrassing.
God, how embarrassing.
And I understand.
Look, it's a classic.
It's a classic Instagram post.
Oh, this is bad news for me because I just planted a whole bunch of seeds
that were meant to be planted in spring.
Wrong.
Wrong.
You couldn't be more wrong.
I'm so excited.
Guys, for the first time, I planted onions.
Okay.
They grow in the ground.
Yeah. And then they sprout on top
and then you pull them out.
I'm so excited. But now I don't think they're going to grow
because it's not spring. Someone said
to me that, like, because I'm keen
on this too. I love the idea of having like a
veggie garden. But they said, why would you bother
planting the cheap veggies?
Because you've got to put a lot of work into growing these.
But you can go get a whole sack of onions for like three dollars well to be honest i've always been pretty
open about uh my game plan when it comes to veggie gardens okay and i always grow one different thing
a year like last year it was broccolini just because i wanted to for fun. Yeah. But my whole motto when it comes to a veggie garden
is I only grow herbs.
Oh, okay.
Because, and here's my theory, herbs, very expensive.
Very expensive.
Super expensive in the supermarket.
Go off very quickly.
Yes.
And when you grow them in a veggie garden,
they give and give and give.
Whereas if I plant, let's say I plant eight onions.
Yeah.
I get eight onions.
You'll get eight onions.
You know, whereas if I plant a basil or a coriander or a parsley.
Take a little bit.
Take a little bit.
Yeah.
Take a little bit.
It keeps on giving.
So that's the key.
Okay.
Grow herbs.
How'd your broccolini go out of interest?
Pretty good.
Did it?
Yeah.
I got about, I think I planted, yeah, eight. And I got, yeah, like eight broccolini go out of interest? Pretty good. Did it? Yeah, I got about, I think I planted, yeah, eight.
And I got, yeah, like eight broccolinis.
What, you got eight sticks of broccolini?
Like heads.
Oh, okay.
Not like eight little individual little sticks of broccolini.
No.
No, no, no.
Like one kind of bunch of broccolini per plant.
Eight servings of broccolini?
Yeah.
Oh, that's not bad.
Yeah.
But not this year.
But not worth it.
This year you're doing eight onions.
It was months and months.
This is the thing.
You know?
This is the thing.
Where is herbs?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You see what I'm saying?
We do the same thing.
We go out to Mitre 10 every spring.
We buy like three bags of compost,
which costs about $35.
I'm telling you,
it's not worth growing all of that crap.
I've grown tomatoes, not worth it.
Just the herbs.
Oh, no, tomatoes is worth it.
No, tomatoes is worth it.
Tomatoes is piss easy.
And they're spiky, can't be bothered.
Nah, put the seeds in a bucket.
But see, we don't have a heap of room,
and I want my garden to look fun and nice,
and tomatoes are ugly.
No, tomatoes are great.
Put them up the bloody tomato thing, they just grow up.
They go crazy.
Oh, but they smell nice.
Yeah, but see, you're falling into the trap.
But you get heaps of tomatoes off it.
You're falling into the trap.
No, the tomatoes is the same logic as your herbs.
They give and give and give.
Not like the herbs, but better than some other ones, I guess, yeah.
So, yeah, herbs and a lemon and lime tree, that's the way to go.
Anyway, it's all a waste of time because...
But not now because it's not spring.
It's not spring for another 19 days.
So don't grow anything right now.
Put your pants back on, okay?
Bree and Clint.
Clint, we have to head to the breaking news millennial desk.
Yes, hello. I'm Tracey, the Millennial Newsreader.
In the latest, Gen Z's are now currently trying to cancel something else from us millennials.
Haven't they taken enough?
Well, let's talk about what they have taken.
They've taken ankle socks.
Or anklets.
Yeah.
Is that what we called them?
I can't even remember now.
No, anklet was a bracelet that you wore on your ankle.
We never called the ankle socks anklets? No, we called them sockets.
Sockets.
Sockets.
They tried to take the sockets.
See, they've taken them from us.
We can't even remember what they're called.
That's what I mean.
I've conformed.
They took sockets.
I threw them out.
It was kind of a good one, actually.
They were pretty ugly.
Oh, they were humiliating.
They were really ugly. The middle them out. It was kind of a good one, actually. They were pretty ugly. Oh, they were humiliating. They were really ugly.
The middle part.
Look what's happened.
No, they took the side part.
They forced you into a middle part.
Look what's happened.
You've got Stockholm Syndrome.
You can't even remember.
They took my side part.
The French tuck.
They haven't got that one, though.
They didn't tell you that one.
Don't tell Tan France from Queer Eye.
I feel like his entire career is built on the French tux.
Look, they got me on the socks, but none of the old French tux.
That one's here to stay, baby.
French tux.
Sorry to mansplain what a French tux is, but if you don't know,
it's literally just tucking the front of your T-shirt into your pants
and nothing else.
That one's going nowhere, Gen Z.
Skinny jeans.
Yeah, they were long gone a long time ago.
To be honest, I'm glad they took skinny jeans.
I'm much more comfortable now.
Yeah.
Skinny jeans.
We didn't know how uncomfortable we were.
But there's another one.
The Gen Zers are saying for this particular one,
it's in the same category.
If you're walking out of the house with this,
people will be able to spot that you're a millennial straight away.
All right.
The latest thing.
I'd hate for anyone to know that I was a millennial.
So please, I need to know this.
The latest thing.
The Gen Zers are banning from us millennials is the winged eyeliner.
That's it.
It's on the list.
People said.
Are you mad about that? It's People said Are you mad about that?
It's gone
Are you mad about that?
To be honest, I'm not because I can never do it myself
I feel like Amy Winehouse took the winged eyeliner with her when she went
No, but that's an extreme version
So they're saying that specifically the liquid variety of winged eyeliner is on the chopping block
as it instantly exposes how old you are, Gen Zers are saying.
So you, firm millennial, upper end of the millennial spectrum.
Excuse me, I'm middle.
No, you're an elder millennial.
You're an elder millennial.
I'm middle.
All right.
Middle millennial in denial.
Don't make me do the math on this again.
Okay. However young you need to feel. Are millennial in denial. Don't make me do the math on this again. Okay.
However young you need to feel.
Are you angry about winged eyeliner going?
No.
I like a winged eyeliner.
You like to have the option.
I can't do it myself.
Yeah, okay.
You like to have the option.
But if I could.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If I could do it myself, I'd do it.
So mildly upset.
Claudia, our zillennial, she straddles millennial Gen Z culture.
How is she a few years younger than me and then she's a zillennial?
She's half a decade younger than you.
No, she's not.
No, she's not.
She's 30.
I'm 31.
She's 31.
I'm 34.
Oh, okay.
Do the math.
I'm definitely just straight millennial.
Are you 34?
Yes.
How old did you think she was?
I thought you were 30 and I thought you were 35.
I thought you were about to say 36.
I was like, how dare you?
And Clint's nearly 40.
Literally no one.
She's winding you up.
I tried to commit and then I was like, back out, back out.
Don't bite at her.
She's winding you up.
I'm winding you up.
Literally no one had even come for you yet.
There's nothing to really come at her for.
She's so young and youthful.
Thank you.
Like, isn't she?
Like a dumb child.
Your time will come.
I know.
Claudia, do you want winged eyeliner or not?
Nah, I can't be bothered.
Emma, what's your opinion on winged eyeliner?
You're our Gen Z.
Yeah, I don't care.
It's cool.
I don't do it.
I feel like people still do it.
I think millennials.
Yeah, millennials.
If a Gen Z to you said about the thing that you enjoyed doing,
like the fashion trend that you enjoyed,
if their reaction to it was, I don't care,
it's cool if you want to do it,
that's how you know you shouldn't do it.
If they felt that they're ambivalent to it.
If you want to look uncool, then it's up to you.
If I came in in a nice pair of Carhartt double knee pants
and I said to Ella, what do you think of my new pants?
And she was like, I literally don't care.
Then I would know that those pants didn't hit.
You know how I know when I've worn a cool outfit to work?
Yeah.
So this is the reaction I get from Ella.
So if I've worn this to me, I've worn a cool outfit to work.
It doesn't happen often.
I'll walk in.
Bree, mid-range millennial.
Thank you.
Walking into work for Ella, prime Gen Z. And I'll walk in and Bree, mid-range millennial. Thank you. Walking into work for Ella Prime Gen Z.
And I'll walk in and then she'll go, oh, Bree.
Oh, Bree.
Cool outfit today.
Cool.
Cool fit.
I've had that reaction too.
And she's so shocked that I could put together a cool outfit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And on one hand, you're flattered.
And on the other hand, you're like, do I look so shit every other day?
I did it twice in a row last week,
and the Gen Zs in the office were like, Clint, what is going on?
I think I understand now, and I've got the hack.
Okay.
Just anything you go to buy or wear,
just make sure it's four sizes too big for you.
Is that the hack?
Yep.
Yeah, right.
That's the key.
It is.
And wear multiple four sizes too big for you, layers on layers.
Because the coolest thing in the world is trying to dress 10 to 15 years younger than you actually are.
That's what's really cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Anyway.
All right, good update.
That's the news from the Millennial News Desk.
There is no Gen Z News Desk.
They don't watch the news, so.
No, they don't even know what that is.
They're like, we don't care.
We're just jealous because we're old and crusty.
That's very true.
Brie and Clint.
Zed and Brie and Clint, Taylor Swift.
And Ice Spice, who's headlining RMV this year.
Ice Spice, that is, not Taylor Swift.
Good to
Actually
Clarify that
You gotta clarify
You gotta
Although if Taylor Swift
Wants to do R&B
I reckon she's welcome
Yeah
Oh I think that'd have her
I reckon I'm at room for her
Yeah that'd have her
Yeah yeah yeah
Sure
I'll put her on
Just after Medusa
Let's get down
Let's get down
To business
Everyone
Taylor Swift.
Oh, wait a second.
What if it's Taylor Swift?
It's a love story.
It's like we're there.
It's a remix.
Just before you took us to the Millennial News desk and you let us know that Gen Z have cancelled Winged Eyeliner.
Yeah.
There was another one recently
which we didn't talk about, which impacts you
and I directly. Oh no. So we'll just
head back briefly.
Did you hear that Gen Z have cancelled wallets?
That we're not allowed wallets anymore? Yes.
I have heard about this. Which is
shocking news for you. Can you go and grab your wallet for us for a second?
Can I just say before I go and get it,
I have been thinking I want to downgrade to a normal-sized wallet
for the first time in like 15 years.
Just thinking about it.
No, I want to, but I just can't afford it.
Deadly ponies, if you're listening, in the market.
This will obviously hit better as a video,
but Bree, please reveal your wallet to the people.
It's my Deadly Ponies travel wallet.
Hold on, wait, do you want to see inside?
Put it next to your head so people can see how big it is.
I want a new one.
I do.
Well, Gen Z said you should have no wallet, so. No, I can't have no wallet. I want a new one. I do.
Well, Jen's Ed said you should have no wallet.
So.
No, I can't have no wallet. Look at this.
From that to no wallet.
Where am I going to put everything that's in here?
You're going to put the 45 expired gift cards.
I know.
Bloody hell.
Let's play Guess the Noise.
Guess the Noise?
That's correct.
The game where we, the noise. That's correct. The game where we guess the noise.
It's very simple.
We have a teammate that we play with.
Who's on your team today?
My teammate's name is Courtney.
Kia ora, Courtney.
Hi, Court.
Hi.
Have you had a hearing test recently, Courtney?
No.
Me neither.
Let's just assume that we have perfect hearing, okay?
I agree. You know who does
have perfect hearing? It's my
teammate, Emily.
Hello. Perfect
2020 hearing. Isn't that right,
Emily? Good hearing,
bad eyes. So, yes.
Can't have it all.
Yes, Emily. Well, this is
your game then. Claudia's in charge. Kia all, right? Yes, Emily. Yeah. Well, this is your game then.
Claudia's in charge.
Kia ora, Claudia.
Hello, everyone. Claude.
So, as we know, there's always a theme that goes along with this.
So, every Monday, I have to come in, think of a new theme,
and sometimes the ideas are not coming.
So, I always ask Producer Ella for a bit of help,
and she always gives me the most cooked ideas.
Okay.
Like, what does Tuesday sound like? Let's do days of ideas. Okay. Like what does Tuesday sound like?
Let's do days of the week.
What does Tuesday sound like?
Don't worry, that didn't go on here.
That was vetoed. Especially because it's Monday.
She gives me the idea and I go, great
idea Ella, let's do something
else. But today
she gave me
she's given me an idea and I've decided
to roll with it for better or worse.
No, Ella, you've got one over the line.
I know.
This is a big debut.
So today, Ella's idea is animals breathing.
Yeah!
Different animals and how they breathe.
Well, let's see how it goes.
You have such an interesting brain.
Thank you.
I get it from my mum.
Yeah.
Can we talk after the show about getting you tested?
Yeah.
Oh, for what?
You know.
Just for similar things that I've been tested for.
We can do this.
We can do this.
We can guess the sounds of animals breathing and guess the noise.
Yeah.
So it'll be reasonably straightforward.
So you guys obviously working in teams.
The first team to three points will take home the win.
Bree and Clint, you guys are going first.
Just buzz in with your name if you know which animal is breathing.
Bree.
Bree.
Is it a pig?
It is a pig.
She's good.
Cute.
It's really cute.
Oh, pigs are so cute.
I wish they didn't taste so yum.
Bree!
Emily and Courtney.
It's true.
You can't deny it.
Are you ready for your breathing animal?
Yep.
Come on.
Question mug in there.
Okay, buzz in with your name if you think you know it.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Is it a horse?
It is a horse.
I do a good horse.
Do you? I do a good horse.
Do you? Go on then.
Wow.
It's actually pretty good.
It's not a bad horse, yeah. Yeah, nice.
Okay, we are one apiece at the moment, one point for each team,
but we're back to Bree and Clint.
Sorry.
No, I'm just focused on the horse.
Got to get back on the brie.
Okay.
Pardon you.
All right, here we go.
Brie.
Brie?
Tiger.
Oh, a lion.
No, no, lion.
Yeah, it's a lion.
Completely different animals.
They probably sound the same.
They're not.
They're both big cats.
That sounds the same. Yeah. That. They're both big cats. That sounds the same.
That was a lion, though.
Well done.
Lion King and Tiger King, very different things.
Okay.
Two points to Team Courtney and Clint.
Come on, Emily.
We deserve to win this.
Okay, Emily and Courtney, this is for you.
Emily.
Emily.
Emily.
Dog? It is. And we're all tied up. Come on, Emily. Oh, this is for you. Emily. Emily. Dog?
It is.
And we're all tied up.
Come on, Emily.
Oh, this is for the win.
This is for you, Brie.
Come on.
No pressure.
Are we all in?
Yeah, do we want to go all in?
Yeah, everyone's in.
Okay, anyone can buzz in with this.
Just buzz in with your name and whoever gets this takes home the win.
Okay.
Good luck.
Clint.
Emily.
Clint.
Mouse. No. Br luck. Clint. Emily. Clint. Mouse.
No.
Guinea pig.
I did actually hear Emily buzz in, though.
Oh, sorry, Emily.
A guinea pig?
Yeah.
Come on, Emily.
Get away.
Suck on my guinea pigs.
Jeez.
Randy Horse in the studio. studio Emily you're the winner of
Guess the Noise
The Animals Breathing Edition
Congratulations
Thanks
I bullied my best friend
Into getting guinea pigs
Instead of rats
A few years back
Yeah
Well hasn't it paid off
It's all paid off now
You go Emily
You go
A family holiday
With three generations That's kids Parents And grandparents go, Emily. You go. Bree and Clint. A family holiday with three
generations, that's kids,
parents and grandparents
might sound
chaotic, but
a new survey they've recently
done in Australia
has seen that
more than one in four
prefer to holiday that way.
Wow. Wow.
Okay.
Multi-generational holidays, they call them.
Yeah.
Multiple generations all going on a holiday together. So it'd be like you going on holiday with your parents and your sister
and your sister's kids.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Big group, they say, can help with cutting costs for particular things,
cutting the costs down because you can get shared accommodation,
share the food costs, do big group meals, that kind of thing.
And they're also saying that they reckon they split it evenly among the adults.
Oh, the costs of it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do they?
Or is this one of those situations where dad's gone,
you know what, I want to get the whole family together.
I'll shout you all.
I'll shout, yeah.
Because if that's not the case,
you and your family all need to be on the same page
of the things that you want to do
and the amount of money that you want to spend, you know?
Because if you want to stay at a slightly nicer place, but your other family members
like to save money where they can and they want to stay at a slightly cheaper place,
then you're going to butt heads on the holiday.
And I mean, multi-generational, there's definitely going to be some differences when it comes
to, you know, what activities people want to do. Like does Grandpa want to come to the nightclub that night, you know,
spend a bunch on drinks?
But Grandpa is a relative turn these days too because say you did it,
if you did the holiday that I just talked about,
Grandma would be your mum and I would say she would definitely want
to go to the nightclubs on the holiday.
Yeah, Grandma would be your mum and I would say she would definitely want to go to the nightclubs on the holiday. Yeah, grandma would.
Yeah, mum-a-die would be in like Flynn for the nightclub.
So I think it's all dependent on the people.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah.
Something, I feel like this is obviously super popular with people
that have young kids and then they want to go
on the holiday with the grandparents.
Oh, why is that?
So that the grandparents can look after the young kids.
But see, like in terms of like my situation right now,
if my parents called me up and they said, right,
we're going on a family holiday.
Yeah.
We're all going to go to Thailand.
Yeah.
And it's going to be us and you kids and your partners. Yeah. And it's going to be us and you kids
and your partners. Yeah.
I'd say absolutely not.
Oh, you're not keen?
What, to go on a trip where I don't have
any kids and my sister's got all these young
kids running around? Yeah.
No thanks. That's not a holiday.
But you wouldn't have to do anything.
What do you think happens when
I go home for Christmas, Clint?
Do you think I go, no, Aunty Bree's doing nothing.
I do absolutely zero.
I end up changing them.
I end up feeding them.
I end up playing with them.
I do everything.
You did go on holiday last year with your parents.
You went to Europe with your parents last year.
That was just me and my mum and dad.
So it's the kids.
That's the bit that you don't want to do.
Well, I just think that until I had kids.
Or is it your sister?
I want to avoid the kids at all costs because there'll be plenty of time for that.
Like I don't want to, you know, that's not a holiday to me.
Yeah, yeah, fair enough.
Like when I go home for Christmas, it's not a holiday anymore.
I'm telling you, the last thing I'm doing is relaxing.
Yeah, yeah.
I just get handed the kids and then that's it.
Yeah.
I'm just literally on kid duty.
Because they've all had enough.
They're like, your turn.
Well, yeah, they have it 24-7.
So then it's Aunty Bree's turn.
Yeah.
I, if there's no kids,
I don't mind the idea of a multi-generational holiday.
I think it's quite nice.
You get to actually spend that one-on-one time with each other.
But you couldn't do it unless there were kids there.
Otherwise, it would only be the two generations that were going.
It would only be you and your parents.
Well, we'd wait until the kids are old enough to do their own thing.
Yeah, yeah.
You could do that.
Yeah, but then the grandparents are really old.
Not if they had the kids young.
I mean, it all depends.
It all depends, doesn't it?
Well, to be honest, I think if I had kids, I'd be super keen.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, that's the reason why.
Because you're not going on holiday without them.
Nah.
So it's a package deal.
Yep.
Like how big was the family holiday?
And is it great or is it a freaking nightmare?
Like what if like just a huge family reunion,
they decided let's go on a week-long cruise?
A cruise would not be a bad way to do it.
See, that's a good idea.
Yeah.
Because everything's done.
Because the rooms can't be too big on a cruise.
So you can go and then you just, when you're booking,
you just go to the travel agent, hey,
accidentally book us on the other side of the ship so that.
And then we at least get some time apart.
Yeah, yeah, and then at the end of the day you go, all right, we'd better go back to our side of the ship. And then we at least get some time apart. Yeah, yeah.
And then at the end of the day you go,
all right, we'd better go back to our side of the boat.
Oh, see you guys.
Bree and Clint.
Birthday banger.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
All right, let's rip into a birthday banger for you guys.

Emma's going to play Birthday Banger.
Hi, Emma.
Hi, Em.
Hi, how are you?

G'day, Portia.
Hi.
Thanks for forcing mum to call through. Let's see if she gets a good birthday banger. What
is your birthday, Em?
The 6th of the 2nd, 1985.
All right. That means you were 16 in the year 2001. And on your 16th birthday, this was at the top.
One more time.
Oh, it's a ripper.
Yes.
Absolute banger from Daft Punk.
That's a goodie, Emma.
Yeah, that's a really good birthday banger.
Quite timeless, too, for a song that's 23 years old.
That's crazy.
It could come out today and be played on the radio.
Wait there, Emily's going to do Claire's birthday banger.
Hi, Claire.
Hi, Claire.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks.
What did you do for your weekend?
Oh, a bit of kids' footy and some parties, kids' parties.
How did the kids go in footy?
Oh, not very good.
There's only five, but it's a bit of a laugh.
It's always next week.
It's always next week.
Hey, Claire, what is your birthday?
The 15th of May, 92.
Right, that means you were 16 in 2008.
And back on your 16th, this was number one.
I think I'll be this one girl in this world.
Hey!
In this world. Hey. Hey.
What do you reckon, Claire?
It's a banger.

I'm thinking of The Cataracts.
Yes.
With Sheehy, the girl who sings on Leica G6 is in the cataracts as well.
Sounds about right.
Yeah.
Oh, banger.
Unfortunately, this is not a contender.
We have to choose between Laika G6, Daft Punk and Usher.
I feel like it's an easy win for Daft Punk today, isn't it?
Yeah, I've got to go with Daft Punk, Emma and Portia.
You guys have won birthday banger.

Remember when I told you
That I've seen them live
And you were like
What
Have you though
Yes
On the River Stage in Brisbane
You saw Daft Punk in Brisbane I saw Da Yes. On the River Stage in Brisbane. You saw Daft Punk in Brisbane?
I saw Daft Punk at the River Stage in Brisbane in the early 2000s.
Are you serious?
I'm dead serious.
And it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
I want to believe you.
How do you not believe me?
I don't believe that Daft Punk went to Brisbane.
Hold on.
Daft Punk, River Stage.
If they, unless my memory is going.
I'll be so excited.
River Stage.
Hold on.
Brisbane.
I'll be so excited if it's.
Show.
Timmy Trumpet.
Daft Punk, River Stage.
Yes, they did.
In 2007.
Did they have their helmets on?
Yes.
From memory.
From memory, they did.
Yeah, 2007, River Stage, Brisbane, Daft Punk.
I was there.
Not a Daft Punk tribute show.
The River Stage is a huge venue.
Is it?
Yes.
It's an awesome venue.
It's right on the river and overlooks all of the city.
It's amazing.
All right. Well, Callum is river and overlooks all of the city. It's amazing.
Well, Callum, you're surprised.
Chalk it up to jealousy.
I like how you just thought you're like,
Daft Punk wouldn't go to Brisbane. Yeah, well, I'm Daft Punk, Glastonbury, Coachella, Brisbane.
They don't tour.
Daft Punk, they kind of didn't tour.
Well, they made an exception for Brisbane.
They love the river city. I'll say. They love it.'t tour. Well. They made an exception for Brisbane. They love the River City.
I'll say.
They love it.
They do love it.
There must have been a big Brisbane Broncos game on that weekend.
They love the Broncos.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The big Brisbane Broncos fans.
The Queensland Maroons.
They just.
Yeah, can't get enough.
Get them on Caxton Street.
Get around it.
Rumour has it, Steve Price under one of those helmets.
He couldn't get his head into one of those.
Bree and Clint.
A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about Married at First Sight.
I don't even remember why we were talking about it,
but we got a text from someone who said,
if you want to really know what that show is like, you should get me on.
I was on it.
Yeah.
I was one of the people who got married on the Australian version of Married at First Sight.
Not the New Zealand Married at First Sight, the real Married at First Sight, the Australian one.
Oh, come on.
Their name is Vanessa Romito.
We recorded this interview with them because, I mean, these things,
when someone comes on and they're this impassioned about something like this,
it has to go through proper checks and balances.
She didn't hold back.
So it has.
This is the goss from a real contestant on Married at First Sight Australia,
Vanessa Romito.
Hi, Vanessa.
Hi, Vanessa.
Hi.
God, we've been waiting for this.
You said there's goss.
You said there's tea.
What's it really like being on Married at First Sight Australia?
Oh, it's terrible. Honestly.
Yeah. It's the only
word to describe it, really. It's not
great, guys. What's terrible about it?
Are you treated badly? Are the
matches not good? Do the experts
not give you any attention? What do you mean?
It's pretty much all of the above.
So, like, this is just my experience.
I know some people have had positive experiences,
but dear God, mine just was not.
I got paired with the complete opposite of everything that I asked for,
so it was, like, literally, like, my worst nightmare.
They really make you believe that they are trying to find you
your perfect match.
Yeah, they do.
And in your opinion, are they?
No.
They're trying to find you the perfect person to trigger you.
Right.
Yeah, for good TV, right?
Yes, yeah.
Was there any attempt to create a real and sustainable relationship
in your, what, six weeks on that show?
I was only on it for five because I asked to leave early.
Fair enough.
Yeah, so, no.
They tried to ask if I would cheat with anyone else's husband
and I was like, absolutely not.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Vanessa, are you telling me this was producers that asked you to do that?
Yeah, they're like, is there anyone else you fancy, blah, blah, blah,
because there's certain people that they want to keep in the show
because they know their demeanour and their mouth kind of thing,
let's be honest.
Yeah.
And they want to keep you in the show.
So usually the guys are quite boring.
Sorry if that offends anyone, but it's true.
And, well, for my season it was.
Yeah.
And it was the girls that are, like, super dramatic and just catty.
Just to be really clear, you believe when you were on Married at First Sight
Australia, the producers were encouraging you to cheat on your husband. Yeah. Wow. That's, yeah, that's quite interesting. Just more on the producers. I have
read stories like in the past where other contestants have come out and said that the
producer pretty much forced them to say certain things on camera and then used it against them.
Yeah, so that's 100% true.
They ask you the same questions about like 40 different ways.
Right.
They just basically they're recording you from start to end of your 17-hour filming day that we had,
and they would just take little snippets and use it to whatever they want.
So basically the rule is if you're hearing words
and you can't actually see them saying it, it's been pieced together
because they have a certain character that they want people to play
and if you don't play along, they'll turn you into it anyway.
What happens when you say you ask to leave early after five weeks?
What happens when someone asks to leave the show?
Do they let you go?
No.
So it's actually in your contract that you're only allowed to leave the show? Do they let you go? No. So it's actually in your
contract that you're only allowed to leave the show in front of the experts on the couch in
front of everyone. Like it's literally in your contract. Why would you sign a contract? Do you
get paid to go on Married at First Sight? Yeah, you get paid $1,050 a week to go. I don't know
if it's changed in four years, but that's what you get. But yeah, you have to sign a contract because they take over your social media, everything. Like you're
literally signing everything over to them. You have no control over anything.
Do you give them your passwords to your social media?
You have to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They encourage you to, yeah.
I need to ask Vanessa, out of the whole experience, like did anything good come from it? Like
did you make any friends or, you know, anything?
Have you got John Aiken on speed dial for your future relationships?
Oh, yeah, like, you know, we chat every day.
Absolutely not, guys.
I despise everyone on my series.
I think I was – I'm a very honest person.
No, you are.
No one didn't like me.
Yeah.
Do you watch the show?
No, I physically can't watch
it after my season just because of what
happened to me on the show.
So it's like a bit traumatic for me
to be honest, but I'm happy to tell
people exactly what it's like because
I needed a lot of therapy
when I came off that show and they
paid for it. Vanessa, thank you for your
honesty. It's really refreshing
actually to talk to someone who is just
so brutally honest.
That's Vanessa Romita. She was
on Series 7 of Married at First
Side Australia. Thanks for chatting to us.
We appreciate it. No problem at all, guys.
Thanks for having me.
I asked a question on this show
last week at this time
and if you weren't listening,
the question I asked was if you were 60
let's just say hypothetically you were 60 and if someone offered you 30 million dollars
no questions asked or 30 years back to your life so you'd be 30 again
what would you what would you take?
Very cut and dried for me.
Easy answer.
I went the 30 years.
And you were getting a new wife, remember?
No.
She was getting a much younger husband.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
You work those things out later.
Yeah, yeah.
I've come up with a, I think, more realistic question.
Right, okay Because
By the way, you took the years as well
I took the years
Both of our producers
Who are younger than us
Took the money
They took the money
You want to be rich 60 year olds
Absolutely
And I want to be a poor 30 year old
I'd much rather be a poor 30 year old
I've got a new question though
Well guess what you are
Yeah, yeah, true
You should see my mortgage
I'm just paying off interest at this point I've got a new question well guess what you are yeah yeah true you should see my mortgage i'm just paying
off interest at this point um i've got a new question because i was thinking about it and i
was like oh it's pretty hard it's a hard question for everyone to answer because not everyone is 60
some people are closer to 60 some people aren't so then they might you know so i've come up with
a new question and here's my question.
You're your current age.
So you're you.
Your current age, someone offers you $5 million or five years back from your current age.
So to clarify before you answer, the clock
will rewind
so you'll still have
all your memories, so you will
go back in time.
The clock will completely rewind
so you
will still know that that had happened
but no one
else will.
So everyone else will go back five years as well.
This is easy, this one.
Real easy.
So five million or five years back, what are you choosing?
Five million.
There's no way I'm doing lockdown again.
Oh, that's a great point.
I'm not going back and doing.
I am never going to relive.
It's not necessarily the same five years that we just lived.
Why not?
It's more.
Am I going back to prevent the pandemic?
No, but it's more in the hypothetical of you would go back to the age you were five years ago.
Oh, okay.
So you're thinking about it too literally.
But everything that has happened since then is undone.
Is that right?
You're thinking about it too literally.
Yeah, I'm just going to take the money.
Yeah, I'm going to take the money too.
I'm doing the math if I've met my partner yet, so maybe I'll just take the money. Yeah, because if I go back five years, my kids won't exist. Oh, I'm just going to take the money. Yeah, I'm going to take the money too. I'm doing the math if I've met my partner yet
so maybe I'll just
take the money.
Yeah, because if I go
back five years
my kids won't exist.
No, but that doesn't
mean they're not going to.
Like you'll still know
what's coming.
So you want to be
five years younger.
Just think of it that way.
Yeah, what about
the butterfly effect?
You have to do
everything exactly the same
for your same kid.
Oh God, you guys
are so annoying.
No, you came up with this.
You came up with this.
You're thinking
way too much into it. You put that on there. You came up with this. You're thinking way too much into it.
You put that on there.
You talked about the time rewinding, not just our age.
Just talk about the age.
Age or the money.
Can I go forward to 60 and get $30 million?
Okay, okay, okay.
I changed my mind.
The time doesn't rewind.
You go back five years.
But it's still 2024.
It's still 2024.
And nothing has changed.
You were just five years younger.
You go back five years.
I didn't have back pain five years ago.
Or $5 million.
$5 million.
Yeah, $5 million.
$5 million.
That will get me a house.
That will get me my wedding.
God, I'm choosing the years.
What?
You're going to take just five years over $5 million.
As a woman in my mid-30s, I'm taking the years.
For sure.
So you want to be 29?
Yeah.
Because of I think it's very different,
like a female in their mid-30s to a male in their mid-30s.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We have obviously this huge amount of pressure and time,
like time ticking very, very loudly.
So I think I'd take the years.
Interesting. Fair enough think I'd take the years. Interesting.
Fair enough.
I also feel like I didn't get to
live my early 30s
because of lockdown
and pandemics and all that. Yeah, but you said
that the pandemic might not happen.
No, but we've changed it. It's not
rewinding. I'm just going backwards
in time.
And that's the end of the show, everybody.
We were just talking about it's still being talked about whether you take
five years back, so you rewind your age five years or you take five million.
And then Clint says, I've seen videos pop up of myself from five years ago.
I'd rather stay as myself now because I look way better now.
And I agree with me.
I think I do, yeah.
There's videos that come up of us because there's so many
fricking videos of me and you on the internet.
There is so many.
It's a blessing and a curse.
And I find them hard to watch, some of them.
Do you?
Yeah, I don't.
Next time that happens.
I don't F with the person in some of those
videos from five years ago. The next time that
happens where you feel real strongly
where you're like, oh. I'm not that guy.
Can you send it to me? Yeah. Because I want to see
which Clint you're talking about.
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Because I don't think you ever
like, I can't remember you ever looking
bad. I feel like I talk differently.
I feel like I behave differently
There's a lot of nervous energy about me five years ago I feel
You reckon?
Yeah, well that's how I feel about it
Yeah, that's like how I've gotten way classier over the years, you know?
Oh yeah?
I was going to say I'm ageing like a fine wine and you're ageing like a cheddar
What's that supposed to mean?
You're getting more pungent with age.
No, I'm not.
I'm very respectful in this studio.
I may talk about fluffs.
Okay, not the producers.
I'm just joking.
I'm just joking.
There is, yeah.
Some of the videos I'm like, whoa.
It's like the other day for some reason season one of Celebrity Treasure Island popped up.
And I was like, holy Toledo, is that what I look like on season one?
Don't go back and watch it.
What in particular caught your eye?
Oh, I just had a bit of puppy fat.
Oh, yeah.
My hair was a mess.
My makeup was a mess.
Because I did all my own hair and makeup on season one.
I was a train wreck.
My styling wasn't great.
And as someone who's now wearing a middle part,
very aggressive side
part. Yes, very aggressive
side part. And I think I just got
better and better as the season
of Treasure Island went on. See, this is
good. Because
I was able to look
and see what I looked like.
And then be like, I need to edit this.
I need to edit it.
What do you want?
Five years younger or $5 million?
