Try the new Korean BBQ Double
Down today. Tonight, we are
going to witness the most anticipated
show in the history
of professional radio.
Danny Bray and Clint.
Is that what my laugh sounds like?
Have you only just noticed that? Well, I don't hear it when I do it.
Producers, do you want to do an impression of Clint's laugh?
Yeah.
There's no way to do it kindly.
Well,
that's never
stopped you before.
We can keep going.
Now I'm self-conscious
about my laugh as well.
Do you want an impression
of Bree's laugh?
No, it's too beautiful.
We can't match it.
Load up the
Kookaburra sound effects.
Hey,
here at the
Brilliant Clint Show, the talk is all about, here at the Brie and Clint show,
the talk is all about one thing at the moment.
Usain Bolt has retired.
The memories are there,
but it's time for a new name and a new star
to be etched in history.
Brie and Clint's Three Girls, One Race.
This time tomorrow, Oh, my God.
..we will know who is the fastest lady on the Bree and Clint show.
Is it Bree, Claudia or Ella?
The 100m sprint is going down tomorrow afternoon.
With what was meant to be just a humble, you know, basic,
just a little race down at the park,
it's been turned into the biggest event of the year.
Oh, my God, there is so much tension here.
I'm hearing rumours of injuries.
I'm hearing gripes about sponsorships not coming through.
There's just, honestly, there is one topic of conversation
and it is this race that's going down tomorrow.
You've started a thing here at the office.
Yeah, I'm inviting everybody down to the race.
You've started a sweepstake here at the office.
Yeah, I've got a sweepstake running.
It's like Melbourne Cup Day.
You can actually run a sweepstake at your work too. Just deem've started a sweepstake here at the office. It's like Melbourne Cup Day. You can actually run a sweepstake
at your work too. Just deem yourself
the office sweepstake person and then you go
around and you take the bits.
It's really
got it all, this race.
I feel like it's caused a lot of
anxiety for me, Claudia, and
Ella. There was tears yesterday.
A little anxiety moment?
There's a lot of anxiety but it is a massive build-up,
and you know what that means.
It's going to be one hell of a stoush tomorrow afternoon at Victoria Park.
Do you reckon Usain Bolt had a little cry before he went out to do his big races?
We don't know what went on behind closed doors.
No, we don't know, do we?
We just know he loved those chicken nuggets.
That's all we know.
Yep.
Yeah.
All right, we will get some odds later in the show
on how the girls are faring from expert sports analyst
G Lane from the ACC.
If anyone knows...
Analyst.
Analyst.
Analystist?
Analyst.
Analyst?
Nope.
Analyst.
If anyone knows what the odds are going to be,
it is expert G Lane from the ACC
Absolutely, absolutely
He's got the book ready for us
First though, let's get into Tradie vs Lady
Where it's not even close anymore
It is 41 games to 47 in favour of the ladies
Six is the difference
Can you bridge the gap?
Well, you've got to be in it
0800 dials it in right now to play
It's Tradie vs Lady 0800 dials it in right now to play. Bree and Clint. Let's do this.
It's Tradie versus Lady.
Three, two, one, let's go.
An extra 50 bucks could be coming your way
if you take out today's game of Tradie versus Lady.
The Tradie's on 41 for the year.
The Lady's pulling away on 47.
Our Lady is in Whangarei.
She is 37 and she was fired from her first job within the first hour. Welcome to the year. The lady's pulling away on 47. Our lady is in Whangarei. She is 37 and she
was fired from her first job within the first hour. Welcome to the show, Hannah.
Hi, Hannah. Hi.
What did you do? First job was working at Ellerslie Racecourse
clearing tables. Yeah.
Okay. And we're on the top level, so with all
the rich people. Yeah.
And I finished clearing a table,
turned around,
and I smacked one of the customers
in the head with my tray.
Oh, no.
And you got fired for that?
Yeah, he asked me to,
and I had to have free drinks all night as well.
Oh, that guy needs to be kicked out of that establishment.
Someone should have smacked that guy in the head.
I wish I'd smacked him harder.
You're taking on our trading
today from Christchurch, the 26th
and our professional pipe
layer. Welcome to the show, Jesse.
Jesse, g'day mate.
G'day.
And how much cable you laid today,
Jesse? Not cable,
just pipe. Just pipe. He's laying pipe.
He's not a cable layer, he's laying pipe. Jeez. Yeah. You lay a good pipe, Jesse? Not cable, just pipe. Just pipe. Oh, pipe, right. He's not a cable layer, he's laying pipe.
Jeez. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You lay a good pipe, Jesse?
I lay fantastic pipe.
What's the regular
standard size pipe you're laying
these days?
About 30 mil in girth.
Yep, 30 mil in girth.
Can you, upon request,
Jesse, can I ask for a wider girth?
Probably, I can have probably 100 mil.
Yeah, right.
You can get whatever you want.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, yeah.
Good to know for future reference.
Yeah, yeah, whatever pipe you need.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Jesse, your buzzer is tradie.
Hannah, yours is lady.
The first of three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
It's International Potato Day today.
Name three dishes in which potato is the star.
Ladies.
Jesse.
Mashed potato.
Yes.
Oh, you're stuck on mashed potato.
So I'm just coughing real quick.
Yeah.
We're going to hand that one over to Hannah.
Can you give us three potato dishes, Hannah?
Baked potato, roast potato, mashed potato.
Well done. She's all over it like a potato.
All right, one to the ladies.
Question number two, is Jessie still with us?
He's on the pipe.
Okay.
Emma Roberts, the actress, has an even more famous auntie
with the same last name.
Yes, Hannah.
Julia Roberts.
Well done.
It is Julia Roberts.
You're away and flying.
You need this one, Jessie, to stay in it.
Question number three, buzz in when you can tell me
who sings this song.
Hannah's in.
It's Lizzo.
Lizzo it is.
And he's hung up.
What a bad sport.
Jessie's gone.
Oh, Jessie.
Jessie.
We wanted to talk to your mum.
Hannah, like a blocked drain, you've cleared Jessie out, mate.
You have got 50 bucks cash
thanks to KFC.
Awesome, thank you.
You can tell Hannah's got
the 100ml pipe, you know?
You can tell.
Too much pipe chat
to start the show.
Bree and Clint.
Tomorrow, the first ever,
the inaugural,
and maybe the last ever
Three Girls, One Race goes down.
Bree will race producers Ella and Claudia.
Why?
Because some random person who listens to our podcasts asked them to.
And we like to dance for the band.
It's a 100-metre sprint, and there is so much conjecture
around who will come in where and what advantage is held by who.
So to get to the heart of it, I've decided we need some odds,
and I've brought in an expert,
the head of the Alternative Commentary Collective, G-Lane.
Kia ora, G-Lane.
Welcome to the show.
Oh, good afternoon.
Yeah, this is, look, I've had some tough assignments in my time,
but this one's a tricky one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's very tricky.
There's a few variables involved, isn't there?
There is. Look, I've been sent a few variables involved, isn't there? There is.
Like, I've been sent a few stats to work out the mods.
And, like, everyone's, you know, sub four seconds over 10 metres,
which doesn't really give me much indication that they're 90 metres.
No.
If I'm honest.
That was a pretty useless stat.
Especially considering that most sprinters, by the four seconds,
they're about 30 or 40 metres into the run.
Yes, correct.
That doesn't bode well for us, G-Lane.
No, it doesn't.
You ain't breaking any records.
Look, there's not a massive height or leg length difference,
but I think age is probably a big consideration.
So we've put it through the ACC algorithm, just on pure data,
and a little bit of vibe.
Obviously, any sort of punting, there's a bit of vibe there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So Ella, being the youngest, obviously, is an advantage,
but being the shortest might offset any sort of youth.
So she's coming in at $2.30.
$2.30 for Ella to come in.
That's not bad.
That's not bad.
It's not bad eating.
It's not bad eating.
Look, Bree, the veteran, but also obviously the tallest.
Yes.
Look, this height may not offset the age factor.
There's too much age to offset, G-Lane.
That's not going to offset enough for the bookies.
So Bree's coming in as an outsider at $6.80.
Oh, that hurts.
$6.80. Advert that hurts. $6.80.
That hurts, the underdog.
For the old girl.
Do you want more or less?
Ella, the less money you are paying, the more likely you are to win.
Ah, thank you.
So you're twice as likely plus some.
Oh, whoa.
Then we have Claudia, who has the height,
but also she tops the stats in the hip to heel,
which I think has tipped the bookies,
and she's coming in at a red-hot favourite at 185.
Wow.
Wow.
Those are fricking long odds on Bree.
Like six bucks.
You're paying more than the Warriors are paying against the Panthers
the other week.
Shit.
Yeah, see, that goes to show just how unlikely it is.
There is another book running, though.
The injury book has been put forward.
Oh, no.
We've got rolled ankle at $250.
Yes.
A calf muscle at $4.
Okay.
A hammy at $450.
And then we get into the more serious injuries.
A torn Achilles at $10.
Yeah.
And a dislocated knee at $14.
Oh my gosh!
I have had a sore knee over the past
24 hours, so...
We've seen a bit of money come in early for the hammy
at $4.50, which is not bad at all.
And obviously, with
the information that we have, you probably cut those
odds in half if you're putting the injury bet on
Bree specifically. Is that right?
Oh yeah, you can multi it up.
You can put a multi on.
So for example, you could say Bree wins
but she dislocates her knee and that
comes in around $19.
Not a bad multi.
That's a very good multi if it's coming from
the horse's mouth. God, I wish we could get these
odds on at the TAB. I would put real money
down on this. Would you actually?
Absolutely I would.
I'd bet on dumber things than this. Would you actually? Absolutely I would. Absolutely I would.
I've bet on dumber things than this.
I think it would be rife for corruption.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, well Bree is Australian
so there could be a bit of match fixing involved
in this situation. Yeah, I will, apparently
I will be patted down for any type
of stuff in my pocket, so
Alright,
fantastic. Thanks Ghislaine, we appreciate it. I don't know if I should thank you, but you know any type of stuff in my pocket. So, um... All right.
Fantastic.
Thanks, Ghislaine.
We appreciate it. I don't know if I should thank you,
but, you know, we move on.
You're welcome.
I look forward to watching.
Yeah, take those into your office,
sweet sakes.
That's Ghislaine.
He's the head of the ACC
providing some odds
on three girls, one race
going down this Friday.
Was it $6.80 for me?
$6.80, yeah.
God, way on the outside.
You're getting put down after this race. I know. Bree and me? $6.80, yeah. Way on the outside. You're getting put down
after this race.
I know.
Bree and Clint.
God, it's a weird time
at the moment.
Everything it feels like
is either in crisis
or shutting down.
Yesterday they announced
that Smith and Coey's
in Auckland
was shutting down,
which if you're not from Auckland
is like Ballantyne's
in Christchurch.
Yeah, like a big
department store.
Yeah, or Kikoldi and Staines,
which already shut down in Wellington, but that was like that. That got shut down too. Yeah, like a big department store. Yeah, or Cacoldi and Staines, which already shut down in Wellington,
but that was like that.
That got shut down too.
Wait, it was called Staines?
Cacoldi and Staines, yeah.
What's Staines?
Well, it's the family's last name.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
It's usually, yeah, it's not.
Yeah.
And then today,
the Melbourne Rebels are shutting down,
the rugby team.
Gutted.
Yeah, they're like seventh on the table. They're in the playoffs. I'd be so angry if I was them. We're shutting down, the rugby team. Gutted. Yeah, they're like seventh on the table in the playoffs.
I'd be so angry if I was them.
We're shutting down.
Yeah, we're going to shut down.
Like they're doing really well in the season.
They're going to the final.
They're like, nah, sorry, boys.
Nah.
No more.
And then it's just been announced that Flybuys is shutting down as well
after 30 years.
You won't be able to get Flybuys points anymore.
2.9 million New Zealanders have a flybys card.
Really?
That's a lot of members.
And they're chucking it in at the end of the year.
Why?
It doesn't even say why.
They're just shutting it down.
So it mustn't be doing that well.
It wouldn't be shutting it down if it was doing well.
No, they wouldn't be.
You can still earn your flybys points until the end of October.
That means everyone gets to spend
all their flybys points. And you can spend
your flybys points until 11.59pm
on December
31st, 2024. Fun!
My advice, save up your flybys
points until New Year's Eve and then everybody
get together on New Year's Eve when you're
real drunk and spend them together. And crash
the website.
Interesting you say that.
Because I saw this news and then I went, oh, I wonder if I've got any flybys points.
Because you know how sometimes it's like attached to your power bill or things like that and you don't even know?
How can you find out?
I went on the flybys website, crashed.
I think everybody is on the flybys website at the moment trying to check to see if they've got any flybys.
I bet.
To see if they can get a Nutribullet.
Claudia, Producer Claude, you said that you literally bought something with your Flybuys points like yesterday.
Yeah, I love Flybuys.
I use them all the time.
Do you really?
We used to have like a family account and then somehow I got control of it.
But everyone's still collecting points. But I get to spend them because I think they forgot that we have the account.
Nice.
What's the best thing you've ever bought off Flybuys?
DVD player. Hell yeah. Still got it too. Nice. What's the best thing you've ever bought off Flybuys? DVD player.
Hell yeah. Still got it too.
That was like 10 years ago. Get any DVDs as well? Nah, I already
had some. Yeah, sweet. But I also got a
car diffuser that I don't use.
And I got a pair of Havianas that my dog
ate. That's useful. Yeah. Apart from
the dog eating them. Yeah, they're gone now. That's useful.
I literally just, I mean it's in the
same vein. I literally just spent, had to spend some air points
on my Air New Zealand air points account
because they were going to expire.
Yeah.
What'd you get?
I got a keep cup.
Nice.
And some cleaning stuff.
Never anything you need, eh?
It's just things you're like, oh.
Oh, my partner needs a keep cup.
Oh, yeah.
So I'll be in the good books there.
I only ever remember us
using our flybys once
as a family and that's when I was a child
and we saved them up
and mum and dad used the flybys points
to get a Unidim cordless phone.
Nice. I know.
That's when you knew you were rich. It's our first
ever cordless phone and man, it was cool.
I used to just walk around the backyard with it.
I'd call my cousin And I'd walk around
The backyard and go
Can you hear me now
And I'd walk to a different
Part of the backyard
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
It was so much fun
Shit you were cool
I know
So let's check it out there
I know $800 at M
What have you bought
With Flyby's points before
Was it something awesome
Yeah
Like did you accumulate
Your points for like a number of years?
The whole idea of flybys points was the fly bit is that you get free flights overseas.
That's how it was meant to work.
That's why they were called flybys.
But I don't know if anyone ever took a flight on their flybys, but maybe you did.
I reckon there would have been people that would have.
You reckon?
All I remember about flybys is like my mum somehow would hide her purchases
and then somehow use the flybys to hide her purchases from dad.
And then she'd be like, don't tell your dad.
Don't tell your father.
Don't tell your dad.
He's not checking the flybys account, but yes, you're fine.
Oh, $800 at M.
The best or weirdest thing that you ever bought with your flybys points
is an RIP to flybys.
Bree and Clint. They've announced they'll be gone by the end of the
year. Your last chance to make a purchase on
flybys is 11.59pm
on New Year's Eve. A lot of
sad people on the text machine
saying, no, I love flybys.
Don't take away flybys.
I think we've underestimated how much people enjoy their flybys.
Just because I only got one cordless
phone off it doesn't mean other people weren't using it to its full benefit.
Some people saying they use it every year.
Yeah.
Like the person who said that they get a new chopping board every couple of years.
I like that.
It's like a tradition.
Every couple of years, she buys new chopping boards with her flybys.
Once the chopping board is worn out, you know you should have built up enough flybys for a new chopping board.
That's a great way to do it.
This is a classic. I got a bread maker with my flybys for a new chopping board. That's a great way to do it. This is a classic.
I got a bread maker with my flybys.
That is a classic.
In my mind, that is a classic flybys purchase.
Because it's not...
You don't need it.
It's not an item you need.
No.
But some people may want it.
It's also not an item you'll use.
No.
It kind of sits in the cupboard.
You're like, oh, jeez, I could save it.
I can make my own bread.
Actually, 9696, are you making your own bread?
In your bread maker.
In your bread maker.
Yeah.
Who's making their own bread?
Because my wife makes a good loaf in the Dutch oven.
Oh, here we go.
Fancy over at the bloody Roberts' house.
What do you mean fancy?
It's just a pot with a lid.
I just am not making my own bread.
Oh, I see.
I know my lane, and my lane
is not to make bread. But are you making bread in the
bread maker, in the cambric? Yeah.
Are you still that family that goes
I'll put a loaf on in the bread
maker? We asked you what did you buy with your fly
bys and someone texted and they said I bought a
hotel room for my ex-husband and his
girlfriend for a night away once.
What? I want so many more details
on that. Me too.
Like, was he your ex-husband when you bought the room?
Was it a gift?
Did you know he was going with his girlfriend?
Yeah, like, was it all copacetic?
Or you annoyed at him and you did it as, like, a passive-aggressive thing?
Greg's called up.
G'day, Greg.
Hi, Greg.
Hey, guys.
How you going?
We're good.
What's your greatest fly-by's purchase of all time? We bought a wakeboard. Hey, guys. How are you going? We're good. What's your greatest Flybuys purchase of all time?
We bought a wakeboard.
Oh, yeah?
You bought a wakeboard?
A wakeboard.
A wakeboard, yeah, I think.
From memory, it was like 650 Flybuys points,
and we had 450, and then we had to top it up with like $100 cash.
Oh, that's how they get you.
My question, did you have a boat, or did you get the wakeboard first?
And you said, if we get this wakeboard, then next we could get a boat on flybys.
We're not able to get enough points between now and the 31st of December.
Okay, Greg, that's a great purchase.
I can't even imagine how long it would take to build up 600, like not air points, 600 flybys points.
Yeah.
Well, even Greg didn't do it.
He had to top it up.
What's the equivalent?
Like, how many fly-by points are you getting per dollar?
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
Like, I'd like to know.
Sarah's here.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi.
Hi, hi, hi.
Hi, hi, hi.
You're a fly-by success story.
Yes, yes.
I'm happy to say that I am.
What happened?
I entered a competition on Facebook, I think, and I won 10,000
points. 10,000
points? You could have got like 600
wakeboards.
So this goes to Bree's point.
What can you get with 10,000 flybys
points?
Heaps of kids presents,
magazine subscriptions for family members,
perfume.
No flights? Because we're trying to find someone who took a flight on their flybys.
No.
I probably had enough for two return trips to Australia, but I didn't do it.
Oh, yeah?
Right.
Okay.
So that's like 10,000 points.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
A lot of wine.
A bottle of wine each week.
Yeah, nice.
Are they all spent?
Because you know you've got to get rid of them by New Year's.
Yeah, it's all gone.
It's all gone.
It's all gone.
It's all gone years ago.
Oh, bugger.
I've got 92 points left saved up.
Spend them.
Spend them, girl.
What are you going to buy, Sarah?
Probably more wine.
Yeah.
Good idea.
Wine or a whiteboard.
Good idea.
See what it takes you.
A lot of takes about the bread machine coming in.
What are people saying?
I still use my bread maker.
I've got two of them.
I love the smell of fresh bread cooking in the bread maker.
See, that person there, I will never be that person.
They're running two bread makers.
Because that person there must be the most organised,
well put together human being.
Like if you're making your own bread at home,
you've got your shit together.
Finally, Emma's here.
Hi, Emma.
Hi, Emma.
How's it going?
We're good.
Good, thanks.
You're gutted about flybys going away, aren't you?
Damn, flybys is where it's at.
I've been a member since it launched, I think, when I was in high school.
Oh, this is a sad day for you.
What have you bought over the years?
Oh, heaps.
I've got a sweet Garmin, not a Garmin, it was a Nike watch
before Garmin and Apple watches came out.
Oh, yeah?
Fitness watch, love that.
Weber Barbecue, an espresso machine,
alcohol for Christmas presents each year.
Emma, how much were you spending to get this many flyby points?
Well, I did the same thing as one of the producers.
I had the family account, and they did it.
Everyone else is coming to me.
Everyone else is topping up your flybys account.
Oh, RIP flybys.
Emma, you're going to have to shell out for your own booze now.
Indeed.
Emma's like gutted.
A lot of people, thanks Emma, a lot of people came for your bread maker that you're not using, by the way.
No, I don't. You are flybys
now. People want a bread maker from you. No, when did,
I didn't say that I have a bread maker.
Oh. Like, I've never had one.
Oh, we're going to get you a bread maker.
No, I don't.
This is what I'm saying.
I don't have my life together.
Girls, girls, girls.
We'll go for a breeze Christmas present.
Three ways on a bread maker.
Guys, I don't want a bread maker for Christmas.
Okay?
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, I can't believe I'm about to say this,
but who is the Selling Sunset star
that is about to appear on the Aussie TV show Neighbours?
The iconic TV show, can you believe it, Chris Shell.
Probably one of the most popular reality stars in the world
from Selling Sunset.
You know, she's married to G Flip,
and G Flip and Chris Shell have a house in Australia, Melbourne,
and one here in LA as well.
And now Chris Schell is going to be on Neighbours.
Now, here's what we know so far.
It's like a guest role because, you know, she used to be an actress.
I'm not sure if you know that about Chris Schell.
Yeah, that's right.
She used to be like on The Young and the Restless or Days of Our Lives or something.
Yep, yep.
She goes way back.
She's quite popular over here in Australia.
Actually, very popular in America.
And now she's doing a guest role.
But I have a feeling that it will turn into something more permanent.
Australia loves her.
Like, she is just, they're like A-list.
Like, they treat her like an A-list.
Yeah, yeah.
And this is very clever from Neighbours, what they're doing.
Because didn't they get Misha Barton on Neighbours as well?
Yes.
When they relaunched?
They sure did. Because they died. Neighbours died what they're doing. Because didn't they get Misha Barton on Neighbours as well? Yes. When they relaunched? They sure did.
Because they died.
Neighbours died.
Died a death.
Then got bought back by someone else and restarted.
I think Amazon bought them.
Yep.
Rebooted.
Yeah.
And so then they just start filtering in the superstars.
Because Neighbours used to make the stars.
Yes.
Like Kylie and Delta and all of that.
But now they've got to bring the stars in.
It says here, if anyone was wondering,
Chrishell was on Days of Our Lives from 2013 to 2015.
Oh, she's perfect for Neighbours.
She's literally perfect.
She's perfect.
Yeah.
You view the cameo on Neighbours yet, Dean?
You could be like the...
He can be Toadie's love child.
Yeah, or like the slutty pool boy
who's causing a rift in someone's marriage.
Yeah.
Margot Robbie's long lost cousin.
Oh, that's perfect.
For Christmas.
Yeah.
That is perfect.
That's the latest with Dean McCarthy.
He's our Hollywood correspondent and we're back after this.
That's hosier.
Is that what they call women's stockings?
Hosier?
Hosiery.
Oh, hosiery.
Hosiery. Yeah, twoiery. Hosiery.
Yeah, two different things.
Hosiery.
Has anyone watched the doco that's out on Netflix about Ashley Madison?
Not yet.
Haven't watched it yet?
Nah.
Oh, it's quite a good one.
Yeah, juicy, I imagine.
Juicy, yeah, very juicy doco.
If you haven't seen it, you don't know anything about Ashley Madison.
Then you might be lying.
Because we've all heard of the website Ashley Madison.
It was a dating service that was started like early in the 2000s,
which essentially was a dating service where if you were married
or in a relationship even, you could go onto this website, Ashley Madison,
and you could meet other people that were also in relationships
and you could have affairs.
Is the idea that you both had something to lose
so you're more likely to keep the secret?
That's exactly the idea.
Right, okay.
Very ahead of its time,
and it grew massively over the next 10, 15 years
until I think it was like 2015 they got hacked.
Their website data got hacked and all of their members' details
were released to the public.
If you haven't seen the doco here's a little snippet
of the trailer actually madison was ahead of his time the vision was to be the largest and only
website for married people who wanted to have an affair when i would go to trade shows i would say
you know who's your biggest competitor? I'd say the Bible.
I thought it was a great idea.
Go on a site and you're able to tell this stranger your deepest, darkest desires.
That site got people really angry, didn't it?
Yeah.
People who didn't agree with it.
Rubbed people, a lot of people the wrong way.
When all the info came out, there was famous people on there.
What kind of idiot is using their real name yeah well it follows in the doco because i've watched it a couple of people and he even says
this one guy's like i don't know why i did that yeah like i don't know why because they had all
these things on the website that were like oh 100, 100% lockdown security.
Which is not possible for anything.
No, especially not on the internet.
No.
Like at all.
Anyway, there was even a part in the doco
where my ears pricked up,
where they talked about when the details
of all the members were released.
And essentially people made these websites where you could go
and type in certain names and it would like...
Search the database for you.
Wow.
And there was a radio station, and this is in the doco,
that were doing it live on air.
You call up and they'll search your partner's details.
Jeez, cracks in your relationship already if you're willing
to call a radio station and get them to type your partner's name in.
Well, there's obviously a reason you're calling through, isn't there?
Yeah, exactly.
Anyway, the website's still up and running.
It's under new leadership and management now.
And it has a user base of like 17 million members.
Really?
Yeah, to this day.
Wow.
Are you worried that your partner's on there?
Oh, I think I'm pretty safe. So that's what she wants you to think? Yeah, to this day. Wow. Are you worried that your partner's on there? Oh, I think I'm pretty safe.
So that's what she wants you to think?
Yeah.
That's weird.
I'm just going to go see if I can find that website.
I thought we could ask, and this might be needle in a haystack,
but was your partner on Ashley Madison?
Yeah.
Like, did you find out?
I don't know of any New Zealanders that were on the website.
Like, I don't have any friends that got caught up in that.
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
That I know of.
But I know that they had billboards here in New Zealand.
Okay.
They were advertising in the New Zealand market
for people to go and use the Ashley Madison website.
I want to hear from someone, like,
was your partner in this data breach
and did you find out that way?
Yeah.
Or they were just on the site and you found out other ways.
Or that too.
You saw their emails or...
You saw the bank statements.
You saw a notification, you saw a bank statement or something like that.
I wonder what Ashley Medicine, because they charge you to be on there,
I wonder what it comes up on your credit card as.
Yeah.
Car parts.
They do talk about that in the doco.
Yeah, right.
And then they talk about as well
how they'd have people in the office
who would like, you know, sift through these calls
they would get from all these like wives
being like, hey, I've got to charge you my card for this.
Like, what is that?
The bank's like, um, don't ask us.
We don't know.
We don't know what that is.
Okay, get them in.
We can keep you anonymous if you want,
but it's all up to you.
0800 dials at M
or you can text 9696.
We'd like to know,
was your partner on the website Ashley Madison,
the cheating website?
We'd love to hear from you this afternoon.
The website Ashley Madison,
there's a new doco out on Netflix
where it's a website for people to go on
and find other people who want to have affairs
yeah you're having an affair and they're having an affair
you're not allowed to use Ashley Madison
if you're not in a relationship eh?
I don't think so
or can you go on there and you can be like
my type is people that are married
oh that's even
I'm single but the type of people I'm interested in are married
that's even darker isn't it, that's even... I'm single, but the type of people I'm interested in are married. That's even darker, isn't it?
Yeah.
That's quite dark.
In 2015, their database got hacked
and all of the members' information was available for the public to see.
So we're asking you on 0800DIALZM,
was your partner on Ashley Madison?
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, person wants to be anonymous. Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
Did this happen to you, Anonymous?
Yes, yes.
So, unfortunately, but back in 2013,
so me and my partner ran our own business.
So I was doing the books and the emailing
and all of that kind of thing.
Yeah.
And I happened to come across some spam.
I was like, oh, it's just spam, you know,
searching on the internet, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
So I was like, oh, whatever.
Bye, sweet guys.
And then I thought, oh, one day I thought,
oh, I'm going to click on one and just have a look.
Yeah.
And it actually took me to the Ashley Madison website
and he was still logged on.
No way!
You could see his profile.
Does that mean
you could see everyone he had talked
to? Yeah, and it wasn't
many. I mean, there's not a few.
But yeah, there was a couple.
How many would have been okay, Anonymous?
Yeah, exactly.
But yeah, so I ended up doing a few of them and telling them what's up and to back off.
Did you message them as you or as him?
At first as him.
Yeah.
And then I got too angry and it was me.
Yeah, right.
And did they shut the conversation down pretty fast
when they realised that it happened?
Yeah.
How long did it take till he realised you were in his account?
He didn't know at all.
Okay.
Right.
How long had you been together?
Were you married?
What's that?
Sorry?
How long had you guys been together and were you married, kids?
It's been 2009 and this happened in 2013.
About four years.
Are you guys still together?
We are.
You are?
So did you confront him about it?
What did he say when you confronted him?
Yeah, so we almost split.
I did my little haka and all of that.
And then I had, you know, called in sick one day to work
and thought I would work it out
and scream and shout at each other.
And then just happened to be,
you know, we'll work on that.
We'll see what happens.
We'll give you another chance.
And everything's been okay since then.
Okay.
The normal up and down.
Yeah, as every relationship does.
But what did he say when you confronted him and said,
hey, I know you've been on this website?
Just your typical, oh, it's nothing.
No, you shouldn't be snooping.
Why are you snooping through my stuff?
Oh, yeah, it's your fault.
Yeah, it's your fault.
Yeah, how dare you break my trust?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Oh, well, hey, good on you for working it out,
if that was what was right for you.
Anonymous, that can't have been an easy thing to do.
No, not at all.
No, it took many years.
I mean, I still actually think about it.
And when I saw the trailer come up on Netflix,
I was like, oh, hey, I'll trigger it.
Well, yeah, good point.
Would you watch it?
I don't know.
I'm hearing you guys talk about it.
I'm like, I don't know.
I shoot. Anonymous, I hearing you guys talk about it and I'm like I don't know. I shoot.
Anonymous, I would say stay away
from it.
I mean, if you want to have a laugh with your
hubby, maybe you should be like, hey, there's
this good doco on Netflix. We should
give it a watch.
Hey, is this that website
you were on?
Is this the one? Yeah.
Last thing, Anonymous,
what's your message to anybody listening right now
who thinks that signing up to a website like that
might be a bit of harmless fun?
Look, I'm all for dating websites.
I'm not for the trust being broken
between people that are together.
Yeah, dating websites when you're not already
in a relationship, right, Anonymous? Perfect. Yeah, that are together. Yeah, dating websites when you're not already in a relationship, right, Anonymous?
Perfect.
Yeah, that's fine.
But, you know, if you don't want to be with someone,
you want to play around, tell that person,
give them respect to get on with your life.
Yeah, that's what it comes down to, right?
Sleep with whoever you want.
Just be upfront with the person that you're currently sleeping with.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah, you can do what you want after that.
Really appreciate you calling through and sharing your story,
Anonymous. Very interesting.
No worries, guys. I'm a first-time caller
too. Oh, wait a second.
I can't believe we finally
got you on this subject, Anonymous.
This is the one you called through for.
She's been waiting since 2013
for us to do
The Ashley Madison
Phone-in topic
Yeah
We love you
Anonymous
Thanks for calling through
Finally
No worries
Thanks for making me laugh
Sweet as mate
You're very welcome
Bree and Clint
ZM Bree and Clint
Post Malone
Morgan Wallen
I had some help
One of the biggest songs
On the ZM playlist
Right now
And Bree and I
Found out this afternoon That it is a complete rip-off, that song.
This is going to blow your mind.
And I wonder if Post Malone and Morgan Wallen are going to get in a bit of trouble for this.
Or do you reckon they've used a sample?
It's definitely not sampled.
Because it's so close.
It's not a sample.
It's the same chords is what it is.
That song is this song by Tom Petty.
It's just a little bit slower.
See, you've got Morgan Wallen and Post Malone.
And then you've got Tom Petty. Very close. And then you've got Tom Petty.
Very close.
And then you've got Morgan Wallen.
And then you've got Tom Petty.
I mean, you know, it's the same as the fashion industry.
Everything comes back into fashion.
Same as music.
We're just recycling stuff now.
I'm not sure if that's how it works legally.
What I will say is Post Malone's lucky that Tom Petty's dead.
Yeah, true.
There'll be still people running his, like, you know? There'll be some people trying to get hold of it, yeah.
Anyway, don't watch the plot.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really.
But picking a movie title based on just the plot line,
that she can do.
Bree and Clint's What's the Plot?
Our movie guessing game where I read out plot lines
and if you can tell us what the film is faster than Bree, you could be crowned What's the Plot champion.
A hard reset, we're back at 50 bucks cash up for grabs.
And Tony, you're going to get a shot at What's the Plot.
Welcome to the show.
Afternoon.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Have you played this game in the car before, Tony?
I have heard it, yes.
Okay, how do you normally go?
Pretty average.
Right, well, that's good because I've been going...
I'm hoping to be too, but, you know,
you sound pretty good when you're going.
I've been pretty average lately as well,
so this will be a good match-up, Tony.
Yes, she's a wounded gazelle, Tony.
Now's the time to pounce.
Cool.
Okay, I'm going to read out plot lines.
You don't wait for me to finish the plot if you think you know what it is.
You just buzz in with your name and give it a guess.
If you get two correct first, then you'll win the game and you'll get 50 bucks cash.
Today, theme-wise, we're only one day away from Three Girls, One Race,
the great 100-meter sprint between Briella and Claudia.
And our champions are training to be the first across the finish line.
No movie is complete without a great training montage,
and all of the films in What's the Plot today
have a training montage inside them.
Like Rocky.
Like Rocky.
Okay.
Okay?
So good luck.
Keep that in mind.
And here comes movie number one.
A boy moves to Southern California with his mother, Okay. Okay. So good luck. Keep that in mind. And here comes movie number one.
A boy moves to Southern California with his mother but quickly finds himself the target of a group of bullies
who study at a nearby dojo.
Karate Kid.
Oh, sorry.
Tony, I'm going to give you one grace.
Sorry.
On that buzzer there.
Because you have got it corrected as Karate Kid. Oh, sorry. I'm nervous to give you one, Grace. Sorry. On that buzzer there. Because you have got it corrected as Karate Kid.
Oh, sorry.
I'm nervous.
No, we're going to give you the point.
Nice work, Tony.
I'm going to need you to use your buzzer for the next one, okay?
Sorry.
Very sorry.
Nice work, Tony.
Well done.
You're up one.
Oh, no.
This is going to happen again.
Movie number two.
A small-time boxer from working-class Philadelphia.
Brie.
Brie.
Rocky.
Rocky.
Damn it.
Sorry.
When you said it at the start, I was like,
she better bloody get it when it comes up.
It's been a long time since I've seen it, but...
We're all tied up, Tony.
This one's for the win.
Okay, you still with us?
Yep. Okay, you still with us? Yep.
Okay, here we go.
In a world where the towns are peopled with...
Peopled?
Peopled?
In a town which is populated by vehicles and even the bug...
Bray?
Cars?
Cars is correct.
It's not a movie
you think of. No, it's not.
Tony, we can't give you
the $50 cash, but we can
give you $50 KFC chicken dollars
as a consolation prize. Nice work, Tony.
You did very well.
Thank you so much. You're a very tough competitor.
You were good, Tony.
Call back any time.
Worthy competitor today.
Yeah, thank you.
All good.
There's a post that's going viral at the moment on Twitter.
And yes, I will call it Twitter because I refuse to call it X.
You meant to call it X, the platform formerly known as Twitter?
What a crap name.
It's Twitter.
Anyway.
I heard you guys calling it Bird App the other day.
Yeah, better than X.
You didn't even try, Elon Musk.
You didn't even try X.
Oh, cool, man.
Anyway, I'll get on with my day.
Personal grievance being aired here on the Brian Clint Show.
You know where you should express this opinion?
X.
Or threads.
Remember threads?
Threads.
Oh, yeah, threads.
The Instagram equivalent.
That lasted like three days, didn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, this post is going viral on Twitter,
and essentially it's a theory where they're saying all men can be put into four different categories for their handsomeness.
Okay.
And the four categories are eagle handsome.
Yeah.
Bear handsome.
Yeah.
Dog handsome.
Right.
Or reptilian handsome.
Now, hear me out, hear me out.
So, I have picked out people that I reckon fit into each category
and you tell me I'm wrong.
Okay.
So, we'll start off with eagle handsome.
Yeah.
Ryan Gosling.
Okay.
Definitely eagle handsome.
Okay.
Then you've got bear handsome, which I reckon someone like Henry Cavill.
Okay, sure.
Would be Bear Handsome.
Yeah.
Then you've got Dog Handsome, and I automatically think of Heath Ledger.
Right, okay.
Heath Ledger is dog, golden retriever type vibes.
Is it appearance or energy?
Appearance.
Appearance.
Okay, sure.
And then you've got the
reptilian handsome, which is
obviously Timothee Chalamet.
Chalamet's a... Chalamet's
a reptilian. Really? Reptilian handsome.
Like a gecko. Yep.
Really? Yeah, because it says here,
eagle handsome, they have strong features,
a long nose, lighter hair
and small eyes.
Bear handsome describes someone with a rounder face, broad shoulders, lighter hair and small eyes. Bear handsome. Describe someone with a rounder face, broad shoulders, lighter hair and or eyes.
Reptilian handsome.
Campbell's got light hair.
He's tall, dark and handsome.
I mean, yeah, that's true.
But he just gives me bear.
Sure.
Reptilian handsome.
Strong features, dark hair and eyes,
straight nose and dog handsome refers
to someone with a rounder face,
darker hair and eyes and often
a cheeky or goofy golden retriever
grin. Okay, okay, sure.
So let's put each other
into a category because it's
fun. So you reckon it could work for women
too? I reckon it works for everyone, yeah.
Yeah, right. Yeah, of course.
Women can be handsome. Do me first.
What do we reckon, guys?
So you've got eagle,
bear, dog, or
reptilian?
I've got an answer.
Me too. What have you got? I've got
dog. I was going to go eagle.
Yeah, I was going to go eagle as well.
Really? As long as I'm not the reptile.
That's all I needed.
Yeah, I feel like the reptile's not.
You're going to give me reptile because of my baggy, tired dad eyes?
You know, those big bug eyes that the Geico lizard has got?
That's what you're going to say that I had.
Sunkin'.
Yeah.
Okay.
Claudia.
No, not you.
Just the other people.
Claudia.
I reckon Ella's definitely bear.
Yes. She's bear for sure I reckon Ella's definitely bear. Yes.
She's bear, for sure.
She's like a teddy bear.
Thank you.
Claudia, I reckon, is like...
I reckon either...
Well, we've got lizard, dog...
Bear or eagle.
She's eagle.
Yeah, she's eagle.
She's an eagle.
I don't get the eagle one.
I'm so confused.
You're giving eagle...
You've got eagle energy.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
Yeah, definitely.
It's your little beak.
Yeah, what? Yeah, I don't know what it is. You just're giving eagle, you got eagle energy. Thank you. Appreciate that. Yeah, definitely. It's your little beak. Yeah, what?
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
You just give me eagle for sure.
Okay, I'll take it.
And then Brie.
I'm getting, don't say reptilian.
No, I'm not getting reptilian.
No, you're not reptile.
Maybe dog.
Nah.
Beer.
I'll take it.
Oh, beer.
Those are the two I was tossing up between.
She's beer.
Okay, you can be beer.
Yeah.
I'll take either one.
You look like you'd give a beer hug. Yeah. You do. You give good hugs. Oh's bear. Okay, you can be bear. Yeah. I'll take either or. You look like you'd give a bear a hug.
Yeah.
You do.
You give good hugs.
Oh, thank you.
I really like your hugs.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll take it.
And you look like you'd maul someone to death if you were angry at them.
You mean you, Bree.
All right.
Bear, eagle, dog, or reptile.
If you hate someone, tell them they're a reptile.
Easy.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want from my birthday is a birthday banger.
Here we go, birthday banger time.

And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Retire your spears.
What do you reckon about this off-brand Britney Spears song?
Is this a bit of you, Liam?
No, definitely not.
I haven't heard it before, to be fair.
Haven't you?
I don't know that this would make Britney's greatest hits.
Yeah, look, wasn't her best.
Wasn't her best.
What year were we talking?
2011.
2011, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm lucky, Liam.
You can't win them all, mate.
Let's do one more for Ava, who's going to do their mum's birthday banger.
Hi, Ava.
Hi, Ava.
Hi, Clint.
Hi.
I'm three.
Hi, Ava.
How old are you?
Eight.
Eight.
Okay, so you're not old enough yet to play birthday banger,
but you're going to do your mum's?
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
All we need, Ava, is her birthday.
27th of May, cool. All we need, Ava, is her birthday. 27th of May, 1987.
All right, guys.
That means, Ava, your mum was 16 in 2003.
And are you ready?
Here's her birthday banger.
Evanescence.
It's a ripper from Evanescence.
Ava, does your mum know that one?
Yeah.
Does she like it, yes or no?
Mum, did you like it?
I love it.
Yeah.
It's a good one.
Okay, good work, Ava.
Wait there.
Evanescence, Leona Lewis, Britney Spears.
Evanescence?
I think I'm going Bleeding Love.
Are you?
Yeah.
Okay, fair enough.
I just have a feeling.
That's fine.
You've got to trust your gut.
Claudia, you're going to have the deciding vote today
between all three of those songs.
What is it going to be?
I've made a few controversial decisions in my time
and I think I'm going to make another one.
I want that Britney song.
I really like that song.
Oh, Claudia.
Ah, yeah.
Okay, that's fine.
And just out of curiosity,
if we were to give it to Ella to choose the winner,
what would it be, Ella?
So it's a tough one, Bleeding Love or Bring Me to Life,
but I'm going to have to go Bring Me to Life
to get us ready for the race tomorrow.
Yeah, and it's weird. We've never done this before, but... Can going to have to go bring me to life to get us ready for the race tomorrow. Yeah, and it's
weird. We've never done this before, but
Can you just give my vote away?
You can't do that.
Let's let the computer decide.
There we go.
Oh, Claudia's fuming.
Ava, you won birthday
banger for your... No, no.
It's me now. No, no. I just gave it
to Ava. I just... You said let the computer decide if that's what I wanted, no. I just gave it to Ava. I just.
You said that the computer decided that's what it wanted.
You can't take this away from Ava.
Do you really want to win birthday banger, Ava?
Yes, please.
Ava, do you want Britney?
No, I want my mum.
Oh.
Well, I can't say no to that.
Yeah.
Suck on that, Claudia.
Thanks a lot.
I stand by what we did.
I stand by what we did.
I know it's controversial, but sometimes in these situations you need strong, decisive leadership.
I was not involved.
No, I know.
I was very decisive.
Yeah, I felt like she was.
Can't argue that.
I knew what I wanted and I voted for it
and you changed the rules to get what you wanted.
Oh!
Don't you join in, Ellie.
You got what you wanted.
Yeah, I'm very happy.
Good song.
Don't you try and be on the right side of the law now.
It's you and me.
Isn't a group woe fun, though?
It is drama.
Evanescence for Ava and her mum over that garbage Britney Spears song.
Yeah.
Is it garbage?
It's not garbage.
I feel like it's a bit of a bop.
It's pure pop.
Can we hear it?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
It's that strong.
I feel like I'm at GAY on K Road.
Oh, I don't know.
What could have been, I guess.
I don't know.
I guess we'll never know.
Look, I'll go on the record.
I'll say it.
Destination weddings.
No thanks.
Can you, what classifies as a destination wedding for you?
Because you went to a wedding in Queenstown a couple of weeks ago.
Even that.
Even that is a destination wedding.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, I had to pay for flights, car hire, accommodation.
Destination wedding.
It costs, you guess, a lot of money. If you're getting on a plane, accommodation. Destination wedding. It costs your guests a lot of money.
If you're getting on a plane, it's a destination wedding.
Is that what the rule is?
Yeah.
Yeah?
I mean, that one's nowhere near as bad and you can kind of be like,
okay, that's fine.
But if you're asking all of your friends and family to come to Italy,
like it is a long way to go.
It is a lot of money.
And I just don't know about them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because, yeah.
What are your thoughts?
Yes or no?
Destination wedding.
Don't hold back.
My thing is...
No, don't sit on the fence here.
I'm not about to sit on the fence.
Yes or no?
If you'll give me a second.
Sounded like you were.
Jeez, if you'll give me...
Sounded like that fence pose was directly up your nose. If you'll give me one second to Sounded like you were. Sounded like that fence pose was directly up your anus.
If you'll give me one second to pull this picket out of my pickle.
If you're getting married in Italy, that's for you.
That's not for us.
You want to get married in Italy.
You do.
Which is great.
It's not my dream to see you married in Italy.
No. That's not my dream to see you married in Italy. No.
That's your dream.
And I don't care if you want to say,
oh, you can book a holiday off the back of it.
No.
No, I want to go to Italy on my terms.
Yeah.
I want to go when I want to go.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
Not because of your wedding.
Anyway.
I just don't want to rain on anyone's parade.
But at the same time,
like if surely no one in this economy
is looking to book a Europe wedding
that they're inviting all their friends and family to.
I just think it's a bit rough
asking all of your friends and family
to fork out a lot of money.
Because I do want to be at your wedding.
Yeah, of course.
I love weddings.
Weddings are my favourite. I want to celebrate your big day with you Yeah, of course. I love weddings. Like, weddings are my favourite.
I want to celebrate your big day with you.
But if you're keen to go to Italy and do a little ceremony on your own
and then when you're back in New Zealand and have your reception here, keen.
I reckon that's a good idea.
That's what the honeymoon is for.
Yeah.
I mean, anyway, there's someone who was also a little bit TO'd
with one of their friends after they posted on Reddit
and they said, the wife and I were invited by a doctor friend
whom is having a destination wedding.
They make, and this is obviously the people getting married,
at a guess, about $400,000 combined.
Oof.
We make about $150,000 to $180,000 combined.
We looked up the hotel where we have to stay.
So there's no other place you can stay.
It must be a tidy place.
No, Oregon's a package deal.
Or a package deal where we have to stay to attend the wedding
and it's $1,600 a night.
Yeah.
It gets worse.
I think this is absurd as we must stay minimum three nights.
Yeah.
The most I've ever paid for a night stay is $500 to $600.
Am I overreacting?
To be honest, the thing that bothered me the most is that the luxury hotel doesn't even pick you up from the airport,
which is 30 minutes away.
Tell me I'm being cheap or am I being reasonable?
The wife and I are on the same page.
You guys have already made your decision is what I would say.
If you and your wife are on the same page,
you've already made your decision.
And now the challenge is coming up with the right excuse
for why you're not going to the wedding.
I think, you know what, it is really fair,
like a good excuse, and it's not even an excuse,
is to say we can't afford it right now.
Like, thank you so much for the offer.
And to be honest, someone has text through
and they said, destination weddings,
great for culling the guest list.
And it's true.
Totally.
But even then, if you're lucky enough
to make the guest list,
that person's looking
at $4,800
just on the accommodation.
Wow.
For three nights.
Like that's outrageous.
It's outrageous.
It's outrageous.
Like it's too much
to ask people to pay.
Yeah.
And we've done something
on this show before
about a couple
who'd planned
a destination wedding.
And no one RSVP'd.
No one RSVP'd. No. Because it was too expensive. Yeah. So they changed the planned a destination wedding. And no one RSVP'd. No one RSVP'd.
No.
Because it was too expensive.
Yeah.
So they changed the location of their wedding.
To make it more affordable.
Yeah, yeah.
And people still weren't keen.
Which kind of speaks to a bigger problem.
But let's not go into that.
Yeah.
I thought we'd put it out there on 0800DIALZM.
What is your rant for a destination wedding?
Who was it and
where was it? And did you go or
were you like, get off the grass girl?
How much did you fork out for a destination
wedding? Yeah. Or did you just not
go out of principle? Or did you figure out
how much it was going to cost you?
Yeah. And you were like, I can't afford that.
I'm not going. I don't want to go to Ibiza.
I mean, I do.
I know someone who made all their friends and family go to Italy for their wedding.
How many?
Well, just they expected all of the family to at least be there.
Marriage didn't last a year.
Oh, but you can put a holiday on the back of it, though.
Bree and Clint.
A destination wedding.
Bit poos, if you ask me. We're asking you a bit of a rant about a destination wedding. Bit poos if you ask me.
We're asking you to have a bit of a rant about a destination wedding.
It's very expensive.
It could be good.
Could be good if you really want to go.
I have been to a friend's destination wedding in San Francisco before
and it was excellent.
I'm not saying they're not good.
No, no, no.
But it was a great wedding and we were ready for some travel at the time.
I just think it's...
It worked for us. Especially if
you've got people in the family
with a lot of young kids.
It's when it gets tricky.
It's very tricky and very expensive.
Someone texted through and said, I went to a destination
Hens. Goodbye
$1,500.
See, this destination Hens
thing is getting out of control. Like this one.
I've been invited to a Destination
30th birthday in Australia.
I worked out it would cost me two and a half
grand as it's in peak season.
I've said no.
Yeah, that's a lot of money to expect someone to
fork out. There's no such thing as a Destination
30th birthday. Stop trying to make
every occasion in your life
into
something that deserves one of those
balloon garlands.
Get over yourself. I'm having a destination
period next month.
What's the destination?
The couch?
My lounge room.
Someone said I spent
10k going to my brother-in-law's
wedding in Italy. We got there
and realised they'd done the formal ceremony the day before
and the day before we arrived and he didn't tell us.
We were there for the big show wedding though.
I'd be fuming.
They just got the bloody legals out of the way.
I've come all the way.
As long as I get to go to the party, that's all I care about.
The signing of the registry is the most boring part of the wedding anyway.
What about the vows?
I love the vows.
Yeah, well, they'll do vows.
They can do vows for you.
So hot on the vows.
I've come all the way to Italy.
Good me vows.
I want to see the vows in Italy.
Let's turn it around.
Chelsea's here with a positive destination wedding story.
Hi, Chelsea.
Hi, Chelsea.
Hi.
What's the deal?
Pretty much a couple of years back, my best mate had sent out an RSVP to 200 people for a local, really nice wedding.
Yeah.
And only 50 people RSVP'd.
Oh, why, Chelsea?
Yeah.
It was only her sister did an RSVP, her mum didn't RSVP because it wasn't big enough.
Right.
It wasn't expensive.
I didn't.
They were underwhelmed by the wedding.
Yeah, they were like, not big enough, your dress is not beautiful enough, more expensive.
Okay.
Oh, good riddance to them.
You don't want them at the wedding.
Yeah, she pretty much turned around and said, okay, fine.
So she paid for myself, her and her fiancé,
and the 50 of us to fly to Hawaii.
Whoa.
Wait, so they took the wedding budget for the local wedding
that was meant to be for 200 people,
and instead of that wedding,
they used it on flights for the 50 people that did RSVP?
Exactly.
So they paid for our hotel.
They paid for activities.
They paid for everything for us.
See, that is a great
destination wedding.
It was beautiful, it was amazing, and it was the people
that were there were the ones that loved them.
Yeah, true. That is the
right kind of passive aggression, eh?
Exactly, so it's pretty much
a big fingers to everyone
else. Yeah, isn't it?
I would have loved...
They were like, oh, we can come too now.
It's like, actually...
Nah, sorry, all full.
Yeah, nah, we're truckers, sorry.
The plane's full, sorry.
Exactly, yeah.
Thanks, Chelsea, great story.
That is a great story.
Someone said, our friends are having an island wedding
to cull their guest list.
All of their extended relatives have said no.
All their pisshead friends have said yes.
They are stoked.
See, that's going to be a fun wedding.
See, that wedding I can get around.
Someone else said, it wasn't exactly a destination wedding,
but I spent about $20,000 attending a friend's wedding in Ireland.
He lives there and didn't believe I genuinely would go.
I did take a very scenic route.
I love that you're spending 20 grand to prove them wrong.
No, but they obviously went on a holiday. Oh my God, are you in love
with that person?
Oh my God, it sounds like you might be.
I've made it all the way here. Yeah, look, I knew you
didn't think I would come and now I'm here. Someone
did text through and said
that my
fiance is from Ireland and I'm from New
Zealand. So for one of our families, it's
going to be a destination wedding.
That doesn't count.
That's very different.
It doesn't count.
Yeah.
That's not you going, oh, I'm going to pick a place
and everyone has to pay and fly to a destination.
You just have two weddings.
That's what you do.
Yeah.
You're in the clear.
You're all good.
You have an Irish wedding and a New Zealand wedding.
Which one would be better?
The Irish wedding.
It'd be so, so much alcohol at the Irish one.
We assume.
Yeah.
No, no, I don't assume.
I know.
It'd be so fun.
Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint.
That's Post Malone and Morgan Wall and I had some help,
which we learned today is just Tom Petty's learning to fly
just a little bit faster.
I feel like they might be in trouble.
Do people know about this?
Surely somewhere at the record label was like,
hey, um...
Someone would have heard this song by Tom Petty.
Yeah.
It's a massive song.
I can't believe we haven't put two and two together.
You got a lot of nerve, don't you play me.
Yeah.
I literally saw, like, two days ago, this old video of Ed Sheeran came up
where he was on a talk show and he pretty much says,
any pop song is four chords.
Yeah, it is.
And then he proved it where he got them to say any pop song
and he played the four chords and every song fits into it.
There's a Melbourne comedy duo, or Australian comedy duo I think, called The Axis of Awesome,
who about 15 years ago had a viral YouTube video.
I remember it.
And they were using those four chords.
They do every single song in history.
Yeah, it's amazing.
It's incredible, yeah.
But that's not to excuse the fact that this is definitely
No, but this is all good info for
postage to use in court.
Have a great
night everybody and we'll catch you back tomorrow
on the Brian Clint Show. Bye guys.
See ya.
