I don't want to be one of those people that turn up without a costume. No, boring. Who is the, is it P. Diddy that throws the big Halloween party that everyone? Yeah, I think you might be right. There's one where the celebs go and we get all the photos

and they go crazy. They get like special effects artists to do their costumes. I think you might be spot on, actually. I think it is P. Diddy. Is that the one? What was the party last year where Heidi Klum went as a worm? Remember that? Hold on, wait.

Let me Google it. Heidi Klum. That was so weird. It was so weird It was so weird I think because you expect it You expect it to be like a sexy Halloween costume But Yeah it definitely wasn't It was quite terrifying

It just says Halloween Oh look at it It's even creepier looking back at it it was the same party where um beyonce went as tony braxton and chris jenner thought that beyonce had gone as her and she she i didn't hear this story have you not heard this no and chris jenner retweeted the picture and she said um oh my god i love it thanks beyonce show me but she'd gone as tony braxton that's so embarrassing not as 90s do you have it yeah oh my god that's so embarrassing i mean yeah she kind of does

that's hilarious it's worth looking up if you get the chance to look it up. That's so funny. Is that your new laptop? Yeah. Can we feel how heavy it is? Oh, shit. Bree's laptop's about to explode. Oh, did you fix it?

Well, I... Oh, yours feels heavier than mine. Yeah, because I got all the bits inside it. What do you mean all the bits? I got all the premium bits. Mate, don't come at me because my laptop got more premium bits than your laptop. Oh, bit! Do you want to compare?

Do you want to have a bits off? Let's have a bits off. Do people want us to have a bits off? Okay, let's have a bits off. Yeah. Okay, so where do we go? Click on the apple in the top one about this Mac. Alright, what's your chip? Okay, but where do we go? Click on the apple on the top one about this Mac. All right, what's your chip? Okay. Oh, but mine's way older than yours.

What's your chip? Hold on, wait, my chip. Where's the chip? Processor? You mean processor? Does it not just give you the chip? Show me what yours says. Name, chip, memory.

Wait. Oh, you went to system settings. Yeah, this is probably boring as batshit. What's your memory? What's your memory? What have you got? 16 gigs of RAM and half a terabyte of solid state drive.

I've got a whole terabyte. Fuck yeah! What's your processor? I don't know. No, you do know. I closed it. I closed it. Oh, okay.

I'm only asking because I know that yours will be more than... Oh, here we go. I found what you're talking about. Stop trying to big dick my laptop, okay? This is my first new laptop I've bought in seven years. Just let me think that I've got all the bits. I just spent a shit tonne on my laptop, so I didn't want your shitty secondhand MacBook coming in.

It's not secondhand. It's refurbished. Secondhand. That's a secondhand laptop. We're going to break in the show today on the other podcast where we discuss what you would and wouldn't buy from a secondhand shop. And we only got through a few before my nose started running and we had to stop.

But we said undies, downstairs undies. Would you buy a bra from a secondhand shop? Probably not. What if it was – Because bras, like, once they go bad, they're not – they don't do the same job. Would you buy a toilet seat from a – No.

You know what? I say let's band the secondhand mattress as well uh but people need them mattresses are expensive i know but you can buy a real cheap one i slept on a lot of second i would rather i would rather i know it's gross when you think about when i was younger yeah i had the option because i couldn't afford one either like don't get me wrong i know and i had the option where i was like afford one either. Like, don't get me wrong, I know. And I had the option where I was like, right, I can get a second-hand mattress that's probably a better quality mattress but it's second-hand. So you're saying you get a shit new one?

A shit new, yeah, or a shit new one. I got the shit new one because I just could not. Like, imagine, imagine. You reach an age where you will never go back to a second-hand mattress. I can't go back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was never there either. Like imagine going on to Bloody Trade Me or wherever and you're like,

okay, sweet, I'm going to go meet these people. You don't know what these – you turn up. Do you base whether you buy the second-hand mattress based on – Of the person or the mattress? Yes. Based on the person? What if you get there and let's say they're real nice, pretty normal, look like they shower regularly.

Where I studied in Christchurch, it was a two-year course and the first year you lived in the halls of residence and the second year you went out flatting. And so the cycle went, you moved into the halls of residence and you had your bed provided. And then as you went to move into your flat in the second year, the person who had just completed the second year was leaving to go to Auckland to work in radio. So they needed to offload all their furniture. So you would go and you would buy a secondhand bed off that person.

And the going rate for a bed and base was $100 for these secondhand beds. And I was like, oh, pretty good. Secondhand bed, $100. I'll use it for a year. It never crossed my mind that that bed could have gone through six or seven different people. That bed's been passed down. Horny 19-year-olds. Disgusting. You want something spooky for Halloween, think about how many bodily fluids

are in that bed. How many souls are inside that mattress. Oh, God. How many people were nearly created on it? And I know that you put a bloody mattress protector on it, but not when you're that age. You don't even know what a mattress protector is. I didn't get a mattress protector until I was 32.

You don't? What? 30 fucking toe. Or something like that. Oh, mate. I would have got a mattress protector when my girlfriend moved in. Jesus. Yeah, get a mattress protector, people.

Honestly, best decision of your life. And pillow protectors. And top sheets, but you're not into that. Oh, we have a top sheet. Have had a top sheet for a while now. Also, something that they don't tell you when you're younger is you need to replace your toilet brushes every 12 months. Like it just doesn't work the way where you're like,

I'll buy one and that's the one I'll have forever in this house and maybe I'll get a new one if I move out in eight years. I'd never thought about it. I'd never thought about it like that. And then we moved into the house that we bought last year. Lucy was like, all these things we have to get. And she goes, and we have to replace the toilet brushes. I was like, why?

There's perfectly good toilet brushes here. There's nothing wrong with them. She's like, those are other people's toilet brushes. You disgusting. You were going to use the ones that were already at the house? I didn't think about it. I didn't think about it. Oh.

But they're mounted to the wall. So? Imagine someone has got that brush and scrubbed their shit. So I went into Bunnings and I said, hey, I need just the brush, not the stand, just the brush. And they're like, we don't sell just the brush. You had to buy the whole thing. So I had to buy the whole thing and throw the stand away just to get the brush.

I don't know if I want my toilet brush bolted to my wall. No, I didn't want it either. Yeah, but couldn't you have just taken it out? It's in the tiles. There'll be holes in the tiles. No, I didn't want it either. Yeah, but couldn't you have just taken it out? It's in the tiles. There'll be holes in the tiles. Oh, right. Oh, jeez. That's a big ordeal for whoever made that decision. I know. And they put two bidets in this house. I'm not using a bidet.

Who is using a bidet? Who is this fancy motherfucker who built this house? Yeah, a bidet. Anyway, we're 12 months in. I still haven't used the bidet. God. You could use it as a water fountain. That sounds nice.

That's fresh water. Isn't it? Yeah, it's fresh water. It's like toilet water. Yeah, true. Okay. Alright, should we get out of here? Yes, please, because it hurts when I breathe. Why? I've done something bad to my shoulder blade? Oh, yes, please. Because it hurts when I breathe. Why? I've done something bad to my shoulder blade.

Oh, God. We're falling apart. Claudia still got COVID. I went to do a couple of push-ups at F45 this morning, and I could tell straight away. I was like, oh, that's not right. And now it hurts when I breathe, like, deeply. That'll teach you.

Ow, it hurts. Also, it's Ella's birthday, but I don't think her microphone is working Is it? Bro I don't know what's going on These headphones either are distorted and broken Or I don't know Well happy birthday Thanks guys Happy birthday

See you guys Bye-bye. Kia ora, everybody. Welcome to the Brie and Clint show, COVID-free. G'day, guys. Well, no, producer Claude is still at home, isolating. True. 25% of our show have COVID. Yeah.

And it's probably my fault. Yeah, retro to get COVID-19, but here we are. Yeah. I mean, it was, God, funny to think that that was... Almost four years ago. Yeah. COVID-19. A virus from 2019 when we lost our last Rugby World Cup. 2019. Yeah. Yeah, rugby world cup. 2019.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I'm over it. I'm clearly over it. Yeah, no, I definitely can confirm. I'm not still thinking about the weekend

and the rugby. I'm not. Yeah, you seem like you've just breezed past it completely fine. I'm fine. Yeah. I'm fine.

It's you that's being weird. Me? Yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine. It's you that's being weird. Me? Yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine. I don't even want us to win that bad. I didn't. Are you happy for the Springboks?

No, I am. Genuinely. If we had to lose to anybody, I'm glad that it was them. I really respect the South African rugby team. I don't respect the English rugby team, so I'm glad it was them. I'm glad it was... Jeez. There's actually a long list of rugby teams I don't respect the English rugby team, so I'm glad it was them. I'm glad it was... Jeez. There's actually a long list of rugby teams I don't respect,

but I do respect the South Africans. I mean, they've won the most rugby World Cups out of anyone now. Yeah, you had to bring that up. It could have been us. I'm just... One point away from that being us. It was literally... This was the game to send either team ahead of the other.

I mean, to be honest, I watched the game. Pretty gutting to watch. I felt for the lads. Yeah. Like, I can't even comprehend how much pressure they would have felt. Did you see how many famous people were in the crowd? I mean, Roger Federer was there. Jason Momoa was there.

Taika Waititi was there. Rita Ora. Who's the other tennis guy? Nadal? No, the other one. Novak Djokovic was there. Yes, he was there. Rita was there. Sophie Turner was there. It was all on. That was weird Dan Carter turning up with Sophie Turner.

Well, it's because... Of the Louis Vuitton. Yeah. I know, but weird. Well, they've got... Of the Louis Vuitton. They're both Louis Vuitton. I know, but weird. Well, they've got to use the star power. Yeah, I mean, I guess. They've got to use their star power where they can. Plus, not everybody knows how to open the latches on that Louis Vuitton case. Yeah, that's true.

It's a special skill. Yeah, Dan needs to really learn that if he's going to be an ambassador for Louis Vuitton. He did it well. Oh. He did the latches well. Are you sure? Yeah. Are you sure? Anyway, we're over it. We're not talking about

the rugby anymore. Who cares? Let's move on with our lives, everybody. It's just a game. I love that saying. And it annoys so many people. It's just a game. Honestly, though, I've watched quite a bit of the Rugby World Cup. Probably the most I've watched

in my lifetime. I mean, if you're a supporter of the Rugby World Cup. Probably the most I've watched in my lifetime. And, I mean, if you're a supporter of the All Blacks, you should be so proud of them. They played out of their skin in a lot of the games. A lot of people wrote them off and, you know, didn't come away with the win yesterday. But how they held themselves, like, I was proud of them. Yeah, they're winners in our hearts, eh?

Yeah. And that's all that matters. Yeah, I was proud of them. Yeah, they're winners in our hearts, eh? Yeah. Yeah. And that's all that matters. Yeah, I mean, it could be worse. You could have got knocked out of the bloody round games like my team, the Wallabies. Actually, not my team. I don't support the Wallabies.

No, you're an All Blacks fan. Yeah. Let's go. Trading first lady. We got three times. We got $50 cash up for grabs thanks to KFC. We sure do. If you want to have a crack at it, then you can call us now.

Welcome to the show, Zion. G'day, Zion. How are you, mate? Why did you do that? Was it on purpose or not? It was on purpose. We probably shouldn't have. It's a pretty dangerous thing to do.

But there was a few of us and, you know, peer pressure. All right, well, we'll just keep that between us, Zion. I'm not sure it's entirely legal. So let's just keep going. Lucky you've got a really generic name. I know. They'll never find you. Zion, your buzzer is tradie.

Out of the following, which one of these is a fruit? Potatoes, asparagus, eggplant, artichoke. Ladies. Tiana just got in. Artichoke? No, that's incorrect. Zion? Eggplant?

No worries. Have a great Monday, Zion. Thank you. Can we talk about biscuits for a second or cookies? Cookies! It is three o'clock. Tea time. Thank you, Phil and head producer Ella, for that sound effect.

That was very useful. You're welcome. You're welcome. Cookie! I should have gotten you to do it. Cookie! Why did we pay so much for that sound effect? We could have just got you to do it.

Guys, I am the sound effects master. You should have just come to me first. Can you do Oscar the Grouch as well? I can't remember what he sounds like. Just real grumpy and lives in a rubbish bin. I could do Elmo. That was more white chicks. Yeah, it was quite white chicks.

What a beautiful chocolate man. That was good. Anyway, guys, we're getting distracted. Sorry, yes. We distracted. Sorry, biscuits, biscuits. As if the All Blacks' loss over the weekend wasn't enough, Griffins have confirmed they were also losing two biscuits. I haven't seen, I saw the headline, but I don't remember which ones. What are they getting rid of?

Guys, I hope you're sitting down. Just brace yourself. It's been a big weekend of loss. But Griffins have confirmed... I'm getting worked up. Griffins have confirmed the

golden fruit and also the apricot fruit finger biscuits have been discontinued. No! Not the golden fruit and the apricot fruit finger biscuits. Oh yeah, they can go. They can go. They can go. I didn't even know they were a thing. I have like

vague memories of them from the 90s, but they're not a biscuit I've ever purchased in my life. And I like a bad old person biscuit. They can go. I feel like their demographic is slowly dying off. I reckon that could be a big part of it.

You know? That's why they're not as popular. You've never seen a golden fruit finger biscuit advertised on TikTok, have you? No. No, they have done nothing to pull the marketing for the apricot finger blaster into the Gen Z arena. Yeah, those biscuits. There you go. I'm not going to miss them. We can't mourn every single food

item that stops being produced, can we? I'm fine with that one. Are we fine with that as a group? I'm fine with it. I thought that we all love a bicky on this show, so let's get a bit ruthless this afternoon. If you were in charge of the

Griffins Company or the Arnott's company or the, who makes farm bake? What? That's Arnott's. Arnott's or who makes cookie time? Cookie time company. Well, you're not getting rid of anything at the cookie time company.

You only have one biscuit, so. Yeah, don't get rid of that. Don't get rid of the cookie time because then what do you make? Cookie time make multiple. They're all the same biscuit though. Yeah, they've got chocolate chip. They're different flavours. Yeah, but they're the same biscuit. They're all the same biscuit though. They're different flavours.

Yeah, but they're the same biscuit. They're not doing a fruit finger, are they? They're doing cookie. Yeah, they're doing cookie. Yeah. What biscuit are you getting rid of? Straight on the top of my head. Yeah, straight on.

Okay, Ella, you're the chief marketing officer at the cookie company. What's going? Ginger nuts. Yuck. Yuck. And they're spicy. I don't mind a ginger nut. I think a ginger nut without a cup of tea is a big pass from me.

It's just hard. Because they're so hard. But if you dip them in a cup of tea, yum. Sacrifice. Your criticism of a ginger nut is that it's spicy. That's why they were made. That's what's in the song. It goes,

There's a song? Griffins, ginger nuts, they are so spicy. I can't do the accent anymore. It's what's in the song. It goes, Griffins, ginger nuts, they are so spicy. I can't do the accent anymore. It's not culturally appropriate. But in the 2000s there was a song and it was talking about how spicy they were. Have you ever heard of this song, Ella? What song? Oh, that one. The ginger nuts.

No, of course not. I think Clint's making the song up. No, it exists. I'm searching it up. No, sing it. We need to hear it so it can jog our memory, but do it in the way that it was originally done. Who makes them? Are they Arnott's or are they Griffin's? They're Griffin's.

It's Griffin's, yeah, because they're in that green packet. Okay. Can I do the song? Yeah. It's like a Caribbean accent. Yeah. No, I'm not doing it. Oh, we nearly got him.

Nearly. For me, Oreos can go. Are you on meth? I don't get them. Oreos, one of the greatest biscuits in human existence. The Oreos, so versatile and they're vegan. And they're fun. So everyone can enjoy.

Because you can twist them off and it's a game as well. What do you mean? Get rid of the Oreo. I've never got them. Get rid of you. Have you had them? It's a horrible opinion. Are you thinking of something else?

The biscuit bit tastes funny. The what? And the creamy bit in the middle. Oh, I'm convinced there's something wrong with him. That's off. We've got to send him back to the factory.

Either that or you can get rid of super wine biscuits. No. They're the blandest biscuits. They're the best one with a cup of tea. I never understood them. And people who put butter between them, between two super wines. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm the CEO, so those are what's going under my rule. Brie, you're another CEO of the biscuit company. What are we getting rid of? Anything with a sultana in it. I mean, just get rid of it. Like the O.T. Sultana where it's like a mix of the Anzac biscuit is one of my favourite all-time biscuits. Delicious.

Put a Sultana in it and it ruins it. It does ruin it. Like get rid of anything with the Sultana. You wouldn't be a fan of a Sultana pasty then? I, why? My Nuna used to make these delicious apple turnovers, right? Delicious. And then one day she decided, throw a few sultanas in there.

And it has scarred me. I'd take a bite and I'd be like dodging and weaving the sultanas. 0800 dial ZM or you can text yours into 9696. We're going to put you in charge of the biscuit factory this afternoon. What's got to go? Yeah. You can get rid of anything. It's hugely controversial.

Ella's trying to get rid of ginger nuts. Of course. Back off the ginger nuts. What is it? You can also text your suggestion to 9696. If you're going to do that, we want to know why you're getting rid of that biscuit. Why that one?

Or call us on 0800-DARLS-AT-M. We're about to get controversial and maybe even personal because people take their biscuits seriously. I should have remembered this from when I did the great New Zealand Bicky Off during lockdown where we tried to find the greatest biscuit in New Zealand. Oh, my God, I was very nearly getting death threats for some of the decisions that were made in the competition. Yeah, I think your results were poo-poo, but, you know.

You were very anti the result. Yeah, I mean, I am a big fan of the Tim Tam. I think it deserved to go all the way, but, you know, that's just me. Well, it was the grand final. The grand final was Tim Tam versus Squiggle. Tim Tam is, like, the best. I love Tim Tams. I think it's the best dipping it in a tea.

It's the best on its own. It's just a great all-round biscuit. Well, Squiggle came out on top, but we're not looking for that at the moment. We're looking for a biscuit to cancel. We've said, if you were in charge of biscuit imports or whatever, the biscuit factory in New Zealand, what are you getting rid of? Someone texted in

and they said, Clint has the worst biscuit taste. Do not listen to him. Also, you nearly got cancelled, Clint. No, I was trying to sing you the Ginger Nuts song Okay? Yeah, we're still waiting to hear it I'm not going to sing it

We've found it though Ella and I have never heard it I can't sing it, okay? I can't sing it This is the Ginger Nuts song You don't know this song? Never heard it Never heard it. Never heard it.

Well, it's not appropriate for me in 2023 to do the accent, so I refuse. I'm not going to sing this song. Someone just texted her and said, Tim Tams are so highly overrated and a little dry. Yeah, we got it. Tim Tams. No.

No. No. Merrily, if you were in charge of biscuits, you would cancel the Tim Tam? Yep, I would. I'd cancel the Tim Tam. That cuts me to my core. I'm real shocked.

I'm so sorry, Bree, but I'd cancel it. Have you tasted the double coated? I mean, there's probably better chocolate covered biscuits out there than the Tim Tam. Have you? Name one. Mint slice, anything.

Oh, I do like a mint slice. It took me a long time to come around to how good a mint slice is, but you are right, it's good. But a mint slice

is a very different biscuit to a Tim Tam. I like the fact that a mint slice is like an after dinner biscuit. Yeah, just to clean the palate.

Merrilee, do you like the Griffin's version of the Tim Tams, the Chit Chat? Yeah, I do actually. Oh, wow. The Chit Chat. Oh, I think Tim Tams, the chit chat? Yeah, I do actually. Oh, wow. The chit chat.

Oh, I think I may have had a chit chat. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I told you this was going to get controversial. Thank you, Marilee. Yeah, that's really rocked me. Bree saw that text come in. She goes, oh, I'm going to roast this person. I disagree.

I completely disagree. I think Tim Tams are a fantastic biscuit. I think they're a great export. The rest of the world needs to learn about Tim Tams are a fantastic biscuit. I think they're a great export. The rest of the world needs to learn about Tim Tams. Exactly. And you know what? I've seen people have a Tim Tam for the first time and just be in absolute awe. And they're like, is this what it's like down under?

Is this how good your biscuits are? It's a good representation. We're looking for biscuits to cancel. I suggested that Super super wines could go. Someone said super wines and vanilla wine biscuits are good for making cheesecake base. So you need to leave those biscuits alone for the bakers. I use the arrowroot for the cheesecake base myself.

The arrowroot is a very good one for that. Would you eat an arrowroot on its own? Nah. Pretty bland. Pretty bland. Pretty bloody bland. Yeah. You know what's an underrated biscuit is a crispy. Would you eat an arrowroot on its own? Nah. Nah. Pretty bland. Pretty bland. Pretty bloody bland. Yeah. You know what's an underrated biscuit is a crispy.

Have you had a crispy? What's a crispy? Oh, I got back into crispies the other day. They're a Griffin's biscuit. They come in the yellow, they're wrapped in like a log of- A crulled on? Yeah. Crispy.

Crispy. Where from? Griffin's. Have you had, you know what is, I think, an underrated biscuit? It's an oldie but a goodie is the scotch finger. Oh okay. Scotch finger grape biscuit. It's a grape biscuit. Oh crispy.

Nah I never had one of those. Someone said don't get rid of that shitty pink wafer one that you get in the mixed boxes of biscuits at Christmas. From Claire. I love the pink wafer. The pink wafer's yum. Kids love the pink wafer. It's a fun biscuit yum. Kids love the pink wafer. It's a fun biscuit.

Like it's something a bit different. I mean, it's sweet as anything, but I don't mind it. And often in those sampler boxes stale, like the pink wafer one goes like. Yeah, it does. I mean, you know, it has its bad points, but fresh out of the box, delish. Someone said controversial opinion, but shoesberry biscuits need to go. Snoozeberry? What the to go. Snoozeberry? What the hell is a snoozeberry? Have you not had a shoesberry?

No, I was doing a... A schnazberry? Yeah. I was about to come in and ground you. Who the hell has a schnazberry? Honestly, they're so good. You can't get rid of a shoesberry? No, and they're fun because they've got little shakes in them.

That's our national identity. Do you guys have vovos? No. Oh, vovos are good. Do you guys have vovos? No. Oh, vovos are good. Do you have anything equivalent to the vovo? Describe a vovo. A vovo is like just a plain kind of rectangle biscuit, and then it's got like these little pink bits of marshmallow

like on either side and then like a line of jam through the middle. Oh, no, but a Shrewsbury is a biscuit with jam in the middle. Yeah. Yeah, vovo's delish. Jam, in quotation marks. We're cancelling biscuits. Someone said cameo cream. Gross.

Fake coconut flavour. Got to go. What about a digestive? What are you guys' thoughts on a digestive? Does it have its place? I think it has its place. It's got a disgusting name. Nah, you know where it, yeah, terrible name, but you know where it does have its place? When you it has its place. It's got a disgusting name. Nah, you know where it, yeah, terrible name,

but you know where it does have its place? When you want to make a good s'more. Is that what they're good for? You get the chocolate digest. Oh, they're perfect. You know a biscuit we can all agree is never getting cancelled though? Girl Guide biscuits. Nah, they're never going to get cancelled.

They're delicious. And why would you want to cancel the Girl Guide biscuit, bro? That's like the number one fundraiser. Someone just texted her and said, it's Shrewsberry, not... Wait, so what's the difference? Shrewsberry? Not Shrewsberry? I think it technically is Shrewsberry, but...

Is it a Shrewsberry? I think it could be. Like a shrew? Yeah, maybe. Like a little rodent? I don't know. Life is short. We're not cancelling it though, okay?

Shrewsbury. Yes. Shnewsbury. Schnozbury. They're staying. Someone just said a Sultana pasty. Yes, get rid of it. Sultana pasty.

Pasty. It's not a pastor. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest. The only story in entertainment at the moment is the passing of Matthew Perry from Friends. When that news update came through yesterday, I was gutted, but I'm kind of sad to say that I wasn't completely surprised. Look, he has been very publicly struggling for the last, I mean, 30 years. Yeah. He struggled all through.

We now know that he was struggling with addiction throughout the entire filming of the show Friends. He released his memoir last year where he talks about how bad it got and how close to death he got quite a few times. But still, when a friend of mine read out that news yesterday, it really like... You gasp, eh? You gasp.

You're like, what? Really, really horrible news. It's affected people the world over because he was so well-known and loved. And even Adele has stopped her show in Las Vegas to speak about Matthew Perry. You feel so sad about it, especially because you don't necessarily know what was going on.

And I remember that character for the rest of my life. He's so open with his struggles, with addiction and sobriety, which I think is incredibly, incredibly brave. And, yeah, I just want to say how much I love what he did for us, especially for what he did for me. I've been waiting and I've been checking, actually, to see what the likes of Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston will share in time when they feel ready.

I think it'll be some time before we see any of them make a comment just because it will be so devastating to lose someone that you grew up with. And they all grew up together on that show. Like, it's just, yeah, really, really sad. Jeez, these days everything can be a red flag, can't it? Someone can sneeze weird and it's a red flag. I feel like everything I do these days is either a red flag or an ick. What do you reckon a red flag sneeze sounds like?

I reckon it would sound a bit like my mum's, which is go something like this. Ah-hoo! Yeah, yeah. God, it's annoying. My wife is deeply, deeply offended by the way that I sneeze. How do you sneeze? I'll tell you if it's a red flag.

Only in the house and only when I'm not around anybody else. No, that already says something. But I enjoy a full body sneeze. Like I enjoy just letting it rip, you know? So I might go. You love to let it rip. I love to let it rip in my own house. I knew you secretly love to let it rip in your own house.

And a sneeze, Brianna. It sounds like this. Achoo! Oh, it's so annoying. Yeah, I know. But we're married now, so she's stuck with me. Anyone who sneezes loud, it just infuriates me. Yes, producer Ella, are you a loud sneezer?

Well, I can be a cute, like at work. But when I just let it out, it's literally like, ah! I'm not even joking. God, I hate that so much. The people that really unnerve me are the ones who manage to block their sneeze. That's me. So they go, where does it go? I feel bad and I don't want to make anyone else have to hear my sneeze.

So it sounds like this. You make us hear all your other bodily functions. Why do you save us from the sneeze? I've been holding in my farts for the last two and a half years, thank you, just for you. Let it rip. Let it out, Bree. I've been banned from farting in the studio. I had to do the show over Zoom on Wednesday because I was at home with

COVID and I don't know if Bree knew that I was on the line yet and all I heard was hey, I'll check this out. Pah! Yeah, see? Two and a half years I was building that up. I couldn't smell it because I was in a different location. Oh, no, that one did smell. Yeah, I didn't smell it, thankfully.

Anyway, guys, let's move on. I mean, these are all red flags, let's be real. But I was on TikTok and I came across this video where this girl's on a date and she's filming and I think she knew what was about to happen because the guy that she'd went on a date and she's filming and I think she knew what was about to happen because the guy that she'd went on a date with pretty much dumps her on the spot for her drink order. Take a listen.

I just think it's kind of giving me like a red flag. It's kind of turned off. Girls with espresso martinis. I'm going to order an Uber, but I don't have my card, so just tell me or something. We haven't even gotten our food, though. I mean, I'm not hungry anymore. Because I ordered an espresso martini? Yeah, I'm just really turned off.

Who is that Chad, bro? Honestly? That guy is a walking red flag. Any man who speaks like that on a date... I just sit down, like, you know... I just think that's how I ride my groundhog. Like, on a date. I just think I'm like, you know, really. I just think that's all right, like, round plug. You know, like, especially my turn, I just can't do it.

I'm just going to go. Like, what a loser. Who hurt him, mate? Who hurt that guy that it permanently made him speak like that? I don't agree with what he has said or what he has done. Also. But I do agree with the idea that a drink can be a red flag. I don't agree with what he has said or what he has done. Also. But I do agree with the idea that a drink can be a red flag. I think so too. Like a certain type

of. Or at least a beige flag. Yeah I reckon beige flag. It's not a deal breaker but I think your drink order also depends on your age. Yep. Yep. You know like if you're younger you can get away with different types of drinks.

Whereas, you know, once you get a bit older, if you're still ordering certain drinks. Give me an example. You know, like ordering or having a Jagerbomb in your early 20s, fun. In your late 30s. At lunch. I mean, did I say early 20s? Yeah. Early 20s. Early 20s, yeah.

And then in your 30s, not so fun. There's a time and a place for a Jagerbomb in your late 30s. No, see, now you're just trying to justify because you're still doing the Jagerbombs. Okay, what is a drink that is a beige flag? If someone orders it, you're like, ooh, is that person all right? Like if I went, this sounds so judgmental, but I stand by it. It's a bit of fun. We're not actually serious, but we are.

If I went on a date with someone like being in my 30s and I went to a dinner, like it was a nice dinner and they said to the guy, can I please have a double black as my drink of choice with dinner? A Smirnoff double black.

Yeah. I'd be like, are you all right? Oh, but the Smirnoff Red would be okay. And then, no, and then if they bought over the double black and then he took a sip out and he said, can you put some red cordial in it, please? Okay, yeah, noted. Yeah.

For me, Beige Flag, it's kind of any drink that has Midori in it. Midori? What about a slippery nipple shot? Or a quick F? Yeah. Yeah. It's just a strange drink. Yeah.

Strange drink to water, I feel. I haven't been able to drink Midori for years. I'll have the Pinot Gris, please. I'll just have the hazy IPA. Can I have a Midori on ice? Can I get a vodka sunrise, please? Ella?

It's Ella's birthday today, by the way. Happy birthday, Ella. Happy birthday. We're going out for drinks for you. It's your birthday and someone orders this drink and you're like, oh, beige flag. What is it? Well, yeah, if we're on a date and they order on the beach, I'm just, that's way too fancy for me. Sex on the beach?

Yeah, because that tells me about their personality. It's a cocktail. It's expensive. They're too bougie. Cocktails are expensive. So I'm like, oh, yeah, maybe it's a good thing. I wouldn't say I think of fancy when I think of sex on the beach. It's cranberry juice, vodka and orange juice.

Oh, what? Oh, that's not a real cocktail. No. That's three drinks mixed together. Okay, my whole life I thought it was very fancy. No, it's not that fancy. Okay. Imagine, you know what would send a red flag to me?

If we went out just like a casual dinner, like first date, and someone goes, can I have a pina colada? Oh, fun. It's a fun drink. That's delicious. It's also milky. Yeah, if you're not on a tropical island. Like it's a very full-on drink to get at dinner.

We want to put together a list of, are we calling them red flag drinks? I just put my hand up and say, because we are judging people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can also judge me, because on Saturday night, I had three Long Island iced teas and I'm judging myself. How are you still standing? I'm in my 30s and I was having, I was like, another one, Long Island iced tea. Are things alright at home? That's a lot of alcohol. My partner was there. She also had three.

0800 DARS at M. What is a red flag drink, in your opinion? You can text it to 9696. We want to know this afternoon, what is the drink that is a bit of a red flag? Yeah, if someone orders it, you're like, ooh, I did not expect you to be that kind of person.

What? Listen to this audio of this girl who gets dumped for her drink of choice. I just think it's kind of giving me like a red flag that's kind of turned off. Girls with espresso martinis.

I'm going to order an Uber, but I don't have my card. So just sell me or something. We haven't even gotten our food though. I mean, I'm not hungry anymore. Because I ordered an espresso martini. Yeah, I'm just really turned off. She dodged a bullet. She dodged a massive bullet.

Also, espresso martini. Do we think that's a red flag? I don a massive bullet. Also, espresso martini. Do we think that's a red flag? I don't think so. I don't think so. But there's always that one person in the group who sneaks off to order a round of espresso martinis that nobody asked for. Like the night might be starting to wind down.

I never want to pay for that round in my life, can I say. I never want to be the person paying for the round of espresso martinis. But the guy who doesn't want the night to end thinks that by, he's like, yeah, this is going to cost me

$100 this round. But I'll get like an extra two hours out of them. I'm going to get the boys going and then they arrive and everyone's like, oh, yum,

but, okay, thanks. I always feel so ill afterwards. Katie's here, I know $800 at him. Hi, Katie. Hi, Katie.

Hi. What's a drink that's a walking red flag? Cody's. Cody's. Why, Katie? Why do you say that? Oh, you know, just a court case in a can, really.

Court case in a can. They would be, I reckon, one of the most popular RTDs in the country. Yeah. Like, they are everywhere. I've never been to, like, a restaurant where they were serving them, though. Have you ever seen someone order one at a restaurant? No, to be honest. No.

No. Yeah. Imagine you get it and they bring it out and it's in a glass. Probably would be quite nice. You've got to rest on they've got Cody's on tap. Yeah. They just do you like a pint of Cody. Do they do that?

No, but imagine. Or a sneaky can at a pub or somewhere. Yeah, something like that. But it's a red flag for you, Katie, right? Yeah. Okay. What do you drink out of interest? Katie's like Cody's.

No, vodka. Vodka. Yeah, like a little long's. No, vodka. Vodka. Yeah, like a little white. Oh, okay. I thought you meant straight out of the bottle. Okay. Thank you, Katie. We appreciate it.

Someone said red flag drink is absinthe. That's some crazy ass loon drink in there. Yeah. We still drinking absinthe. Have you ever had it? I've had it quite a few times. Have you? I used to do, this is such a red flag looking back.

When I was younger, me and my friends on a big, big night out, we'd do an ABC shot. And so it's like quite a big shot glass, like bigger than a normal shot. And so ABC, A stands for absinthe, B, it was Bacardi 151, and then C was Citrus and it was honestly you know the biggest accomplishment was if you could

keep it down. It was so yuck. We have to get to the bar before this shot kicks in so that we still get let in. It was the most horrendous horrendous shot ever. Someone said Long Island iced teas are a red flag. Well, don't say that to Bray.

She had three of them on the weekend. I did, no, and I said, I mean, I agree. They are a red flag. Who's going, oh, I wouldn't mind a Long Island iced tea. Just put every type of drink you can think of into a glass and I'll drink it. I feel like anyone who orders a martini is quite an attention-seeking person. Is that your opinion or from the dictionary? No, that's how I feel.

Yeah, I only learned what a martini was the other day. Yeah. You're out for a drink. I'll get a dirty martini, please. Isn't it just straight alcohol? Pretty much. Yeah. Sometimes with some olive juice in it.

Yeah, that's a dirty martini. Yeah. Yeah. Someone said apple sours are a red flag. Purple goannas, lion reds. Oh, come on. Lion red has a place. Yeah, lion red apple sours are a red flag. Purple goannas, lion reds. Oh, come on, lion red has a place. Yeah, lion red has a place. It's the same as getting a spates.

It's the Auckland version of getting a spates. Yeah. And then lots of cocktails. I think when you're in a situation where everyone's getting like a normal drink and then you go for a cocktail, I don't think it's a red flag. I think you should do whatever you want to do. But if it holds up the entire table doing their toast

then... What about if everyone's got a cocktail and you order like a vodka lime soda? Is that a red flag? Because you're not getting on board the fun. Oh yeah, you're on the skinny bitches. But unless you're trying to save money, then fair enough. Alright, very

judgmental but you know, bit of fun. I want to talk about fashion trends. The ones that you may not be that fond of, because there's a thread on Reddit that's doing the rounds where people have just added in their two cents about the worst

fashion trends of all time. Oh yeah. I thought we could go through the list and see if we agree or disagree. Okay, the top of the list, first one I've pulled out is anything cropped. Cropped anything. I've never agreed with anything more. Why? Like a crop top or a crop pants.

Like a crop T-shirt. Why do I want to get my belly out? I don't want to get my belly out ever. Okay, you're anti-crop. I mean, I'm not the guy to crop. Like even like a three-legged pant, that's technically a cropped pant. A three-legged pant? I mean, what do I mean?

A three-quarter pant. Three-quarter pant. Like a capri. I hate a capri. Okay, all right. It's not for me either, so. Yes, producer Ella? My grandma literally sewed some pants back in the day for my mom

and accidentally did three holes. So there you go. Three leg holes? Yeah. So that's in fashion. Someone out there would be benefit of those pants. I was going to say. Yeah.

Depending on where the hole was. Yeah. You know? It'll be quite handy. It'll be crotchless pants. Depending on where their hole was. It'll be quite handy. Crotchless pants. Quite handy. Next on the list. Crotchless pants was on the list. No, I'm just kidding. Eyebrows that are brushed upwards.

Why are you looking at mine, Clint? Why are you looking at my eyebrows? No reason. I think I disagree with this one if they're done correct. Why is the trend, I'm not judging, why is the current trend to brush them up?

Well, I don't really brush... Like Cara Delevingne or... If you get your eyebrows laminated, you're able to do it. But without laminating them, you can't do it properly. But I don't brush mine up. I brush them like to the side. Oh, yeah.

Okay. But it's not people brushing their eyebrows up. It's the lamination that they're talking about. It makes them look different. Right. Yeah. Yeah. They run the risk of looking a bit Eugene Levy from Schitt's Creek.

I love a bushy brow. David. He's got such. Yeah. Or Sandy Cohen from the OC's Creek. I love a bushy brow. David. He's got such, yeah. Or Sandy Cohen from the OC. Yeah. Too long fake nails, like the really long ones. Oh, like the Cardi B's?

Like the Cardi B nails. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you can't text. I just. If you can't text, if you can't put the pin code into your phone with your nails, they're too long. Is it making your life harder? Like how are you wiping your urinose? You know, like, how are you doing those things?

How are you picking your nose? Anything. Just makes your life harder. I guess picking your nose is actually possibly a bit easier. Yeah, well, it could be. Yeah, it could be. These are the top hated fashion trends on Reddit at the moment. Next one, high-waisted jeans.

It says here they make me feel like I'm wearing a nappy. People hate the high waist. I like the mid-rise. I feel like the mid-rise is where it's at because with a high-waisted, it can cut off your circulation. When they're up around your belly button. Like it just makes you feel like you're constantly like have indigestion. Don't they feel good for like holding everything in?

Like can't you feel like for like holding everything in? Like can't you feel like quite secure in a high-waisted? I just feel like if you had to have a big meal, you just end up with a fumpa. That's what the button's for. What? But not if I'm at the table. What am I going to do? The high-waisted.

The high-waisted jeans. Someone also said, and I'd have to agree with this one, the bikini bottoms that go up and over your hips. Oh, yeah. What's the go with those? Yeah. You know where they're so high-waisted? And the string comes up there.

Yeah. But then they've got a little pouch in the front, that one, the little ruffled bit of material in the front. And it's literally a G-string at the back, but it goes up and over your hips. I don't like the G-string, but I don't mind it high-waisted. Looks like you're trying to, like, you know, floss your bloody privates or something.

Not what you're thinking of. You're thinking of, like, a full brief. Oh, this is not... No, no, no. He's talking about, like, you hook the string up over your hip bones. Yeah, this looks like a piece of dental floss and you put it on your body. I don't understand.

Someone else said, literally 75% of summer dresses you can't wear any sort of bra with. I'm so sick of clothing items where there's literally not a bra that you can buy to wear with it. Or you have to buy a special bra to wear with that one dress. Can you get one of those stick-on chicken fillet thingies that you girls love? They don't stay on!

And who wants to wear that, honestly? The amount of times that I've ended up at home and been like, where's the other one? How do you wash those bras? You don't. Yeah. Really? Oh, you can wipe it down if you need.

How do you get the stick back onto it? That was the worst invention. They suck. They suck. The chicken fillet. Yeah, stop inventing clothes that need special bras. Someone else said, when a dude wears a suit or a nice pair of slacks that shows their ankles and they're not

wearing socks. I was guilty of that for a long, long, long, long time. Did you do that? Yeah. Like, did you ever wear a really nice suit and no socks to a wedding? Yes. Like a formal event?

Yes. Did you? Yeah. They said the ankles were male cleavage and I was just, you know, just doing a little something for the ladies. I think it also. Thank you for your service. Yeah, you're welcome. Like some guys could pull it off. Thank you. But a lot of for the ladies. I think it also... Thank you for your service. Yeah, you're welcome.

Like some guys could pull it off. Thank you. But a lot of you couldn't. No. We're not going to say which one you wear. Let's just, we'll let you live. I'm over it anyway. I've got socks now.

Someone else said, I have to agree with this one too, long denim skirts or long denim shorts. They're so trendy right now and I'm not sure why they're not flattering at all. The long denim shorts are a big Gen Z thing, eh? I've got them. I've got jorts. They're the least flattering. They're so cool.

Denim jorts. Denim jorts. Billie Eilish influenced me. She looks so cool. And let me just say, like, she doesn't look cool in them either. Wow. So when I wear them, you're like, mm. They're not for me, but you can pull them off.

Thank you. I just don't think I could. Come in in your denim jorts, your chicken fella and your cropped T-shirt and Brie will have to take your side to say something to you. And Crocs. And Crocs as well, yeah. Oh, don't get me started. Brie and Clint.

Probably the biggest competition that this country is involved in. Absolutely. The Bird of the biggest competition that this country is involved in. Absolutely. The Bird of the Year competition. You thought I was talking about the Rugby World Cup, didn't you? But no. Bird of the Year is my all-time favourite competition. Is it? I didn't know you were a big Bird of the Year person. I'm a big Bird of the Year fan.

I always want to see, you know, who comes out on top, who is posting on social media. Who is your current favourite bird? I'd have to say my current favourite. Seagull. You're a seagull, eh? I'm not a seagull. You're like a seagull. I quite like the red pigeons that New Zealand has. Have you seen the red pigeons?

Red pigeons? Yeah, they're like a ginger pigeon. Nah. I'm a big fan of the Kia because they're cheeky. Yeah. And you like those scabby grey pigeons as well, eh? That just hang out looking for breadcrumbs. Hey, scabby grey pigeons need love as well.

Do they? Yeah, they do. Do they? I feel bad for pigeons sometimes. They always get called the rat of the sky. Yeah, they're a real sky rat. You know? Yeah, they do. Do they? I feel bad for pigeons sometimes. They always get called the rat of the sky. Yeah, they're a real sky rat. You know? Yeah.

Poor pigeon. But no, the kea, I feel like, is one of my faves. Yeah. What about you? I love a tui. Yeah, tui's lovely. Lovely sound. And I love a big, fat kereru.

Yeah. Big, drunken kereru flying through the sky, or barely flying through the sky. They don't look like they should be able to fly. But people mock the Bird of the Year competition because it seems a bit silly. I take it very serious. But when you get down to it,

I think everybody actually does have a favourite bird. Yeah. This year's is specially special because apparently... Especially special. Especially special. The New Heights, it's soaring to new heights as Forest and Birds celebrates its 100th birthday, which means Bird of the Year temporarily

is being rebranded as Bird of the Century. Wow. So not just Bird of the Year, Bird of the Century, the whole century. This is the big one. Stuff all the other years. Who cares if you win it for one year? This one, you win it for whole century. This is the big one. Stuff all the other years. Who cares if you win it for one year? This one,

you win it for a century. Does that mean technically we could vote for birds that have been extinct for a while? Yes. There is five birds, I believe, that they've put back into the competition that are now extinct. There's a lot of birds in

this country going extinct. That's kind of why the competition's a lot of birds in this country going extinct. That's kind of why the competition exists, right? No, that's the whole reason, I think. Yeah, yeah. Is to just, you know... So how gutted would you be if you're a bird on the brink of extinction, like a daughter or something like that? 82% of the living native bird species in this country

are at risk of extinction. And then you lose to some long-dead bird. People are like, we vote Moa. I'd be so gutted. You're like, bro, I'm out here literally trying to survive. You're like, give me a hand. I don't even think we need to run this bird of the century competition. There is only one worthy winner.

One worthy. For bird of the century. For bird of the century. Here in New Zealand. Here in New Zealand, I think stop the competition. We don't need to go any further because bird of the century here in New Zealand is the Kiwi. Yeah.

I thought you were going to say something funny, but no. Yes, you're right. No, I'm being serious. I take this very seriously. If you're voting for anything other than the Kiwi, what are you up to? Bird of the Year people get very sensitive because I've... The Kiwi's only one of us. I know, I know.

But I've talked about Bird of the Year a couple of times in the past. Bird of the Year people get very sensitive about what they call mainstream birds who get all the attention. Mainstream. Taking limelight away from smaller birds who don't get their time in the attention. The mange. Taking limelight away from smaller birds who don't get their time in the spotlight. Maybe there's a reason why they don't get their time in the spotlight. Maybe they're not as cute.

Exactly right. If we're looking for New Zealand's bird of the century. It's got to be the kiwi. It's got to be the kiwi. There's no other bird that is worthy. I mean, there's so many things named after that bird in this country. Us? Like, exactly.

People overseas don't call us poo kickers. Can you imagine? The mention about rugby league team was called the poo kickers. I agree. The poo ferns. Yeah, it doesn't have the same ring. Oh, the poos. We love the poos. I agree with you. It's the kiwi. There's no need to run same ring. Oh, the poos. Oh, the poos. We love the poos. I agree with you. It's the kiwi. Yeah.

There's no need to run the competition. Yeah. The bird of the century is the world's most useless bird. The kiwi. The kiwi. Thank you. Everybody rise for the National Anthem of New Zealand. Imagine the kiwi just being like, guys, I'm not even that cool.

I can't even fly, but you guys love me. Time for a birthday banger. Here we go, your birthday bangers for a Monday to get you home. Number one songs when you were 16. We're going to play some of these and then pick our favourite to play out in full. Josh is here to play Birthday Banger. Happy Monday, Josh. G'day, Joshua.

Good on you, Josh. Hey, mate, what's your birthday? 29th of August, 1990. All right. That means you were 16 in 2006. And on your 16th birthday, this would have been at the top. Hot fire banger from Fergie for your birthday banger, Josh. A surefire winner there.

Do you like it? Do you like it, yeah? I like it. That's a good one. Yeah, I agree. It's up there for sure. Wait, there we go. Chrissy.

Cue to Chrissy. Hi, Chrissy. Hi. How was your weekend, Chrissy?. Kia ora Chrissy. Hi Chrissy. Hi. How was your weekend Chrissy? Yeah, no, all good. Okay. Okay. Whereabouts are you calling from Chrissy? Tikawati. Oh, lovely. Well, thanks for calling through. We appreciate

It's not going to win, you rigger. You don't like a bit of Cascada? The other song's better. I mean, London Bridge Fergie is very solid. Brie has a soft spot for that song, though, Chrissy. You are in with a chance. Yeah. When I first went nightclubbing, that song was big in the nightclubs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just makes me remember good times, you know? One more birthday banger for Amy. Hi, Ames. Hi, Amy. Hello. How was your Hi, Amy. Hello. How was your weekend, Amy? Pretty busy.

Pretty busy. Why? What did you get up to? We had a girl guide camp. Oh, fun. Oh, lovely. Where did you go for girl guide camp? We went to Waiota.

Oh, awesome. Do you get to build fires in girl guides anymore? Yeah. I got my fire badge taken off me because I accidentally set the wood heap on fire at the Girl Guides house. I've never seen them take back a badge. Yeah, no, they took it off me. That's next level. They said I had to re-earn the trust.

But anyway. Your fire bug badge. I'm sure everyone was very well behaved, Amy. What's your birthday? It's a June 1982. All right. That means very well behaved, Amy. What's your birthday? It's a June 1982. All right. That means you were 16, Amy, in 1998. And back on your 16th, this was number one.

Yeah. Damn. Steps are making a resurgence, I'm telling you. Are they? Yeah. They are in my house. This is my toddler's favourite song at the moment. They love any song with numbers in it.

Have you heard the cover band for Steps? No. Stairs? I walked right into that. Yeah, boy. I stepped right into that. I got you. Amy, you're fed.

Do you like the song, Amy? I'll go with any three of any one of them. Any one of them, okay. Me too, Amy. I'm with you on that. I like them all. Cascada Steps, Fergie. Screw it.

I'm going to vote for Steps. I'm going Steps. Amy, you've taken it out, my friend. We need this for a Monday. We've never done a Steps song for birthday. I don't think we have, and this is the one to do. Amy, you've taken it out, my friend. We need this for a Monday. We've never done a step song for Birthday Banger. I don't think we have, and this is the one to do. Amy, you're the winner. Congratulations.

Yay! Happy car there. That sounds awesome. Oh, I'm so ready for this. What year is this? I think it's 1998. 1998. Yeah.

We usually have to get special permission for these, but screw it. Too late, it's on there. Here's your Birthday Banger, Brian Clayton on ZM. Yeah, they're a moment, eh? They were. Yeah. People love them in the UK. Yeah.

They're like big icons. I want to talk about this. I saw today there's a new study out that has found more than half of Gen Zs want less SEX scenes in their movies and TV shows and more platonic friendships. Less raunchy stuff, more just genuine friendships displayed on their screens. They've made a whole show about that. Have they?

Yeah, it's called Platonic. Oh, really? It's a great show. It's got Seth Rogen in it. Yeah. Seth Rogen? Is it? Comedian?

Yes. Seth Rogen. And Rose Byrne. And Rose Byrne. Fantastic show. Yeah, true. True. I thought you were going to say they've made a show about it.

It's called Friends. Oh, that too. Because it kind of is. No, but then they hook up. No, but this is the thing. They do hook up, but they don't show it. That's true. They're fine with the idea that it happens. They don't want it to be the focal point

according to this study. They don't want to see the sex scenes. The nitty gritty. Which is what Friends does for you, isn't it? Or the titty titty. Or the nitty titty. The titty bitty. I nearly said something that I would not be allowed to say on the radio. Does it sound like my name?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't say that. Anyway. LRL resident Gen Z would you agree with this research? Uh, yeah. I think it's nice to see um, uh, just friendships. It's nice not, I know what happens, you know. I don't need to see a scene

all about it. Right, okay. Um, and it's just a little bit awkward. what happens, you know? I don't need to see a scene all about it. Right, okay. And it's just a little bit awkward. Maybe it gives you some tips, but I'm fine. The most awkward thing in the whole world as a kid was watching something with your parents and a sexy scene comes on and then you're like, I don't know where to look. Obviously, they're looking at it as well.

They feel awkward. I feel awkward. What do we do? What do we do? Let's just pretend like it's not happening and then it's over. In the 90s, nobody talked about that as a teaching moment, did they? No. They were just like, don't talk about it. Don't talk about it. Don't talk about it. To this day,

I remember a couple of years ago, my mum came to visit me and she'd been staying. She was staying with us for like five weeks. So we watched a lot of stuff. I can't remember what show it was. It was one of the new ones. I hadn't seen it before.

Yeah. And there was this very raunchy scene that I didn't know was coming. Yeah. And it was just me and my mum, just us two, and this scene came on and it was this particular scene was very hot and heavy and it was with two men. And I'll never forget it. My mum turns to me halfway through and she goes,

well, I didn't know that that kind of happened. Did they do it like that? And I said, don't talk about it. Don't even look at me. Let's just sit here and pretend like it's not happening. Why did your mum think that you would know how two men do it? I don't know. She'd think that you're just.

Maybe just us younger generation, we're more like up to date. Because you went to Mardi Gras. Yeah, maybe. We're just more educated. I know exactly what you're talking about. It doesn't even matter what. Well, it does matter what variety the scene is. It does not matter.

It does not matter what variety. If you're with the wrong people, like it's just so awkward. I remember my girlfriend that I was with before my wife, we were staying at her parents' place. Oh, bad. In-laws, no. Yeah. Why would they put a movie?

What movie was it? It was the box. To set the scene. What movie was it? It was the DVD box set of the show True Blood with Anna Paquin. Oh, yeah. Can be quite sexy. About the vampires.

And in the first episode, Alexander Skarsgård has very intense, very naked vampire sex with someone who's like chained up. Oh, no. Why are you putting that show on? I didn't know. I thought it was a vampire show. You put it on. Oh, that's not appropriate. No wonder it didn't work out between you two. I only put know that. I thought it was just a vampire show. You put it on. Oh, that's not appropriate.

No wonder it didn't work out between you two. I only put it on. I suggested it. I said, I've heard this show is good. I went to Video Easy and rented it. And I put it on. It was my. You know what was said after you left behind your back?

They would have went, are you sure about this guy? I mean, are you positive? I thought it was just going to be kind of like Twilight. The next time you came over, you're like, guys, I've got this great show. Should we watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer? They're like, is this guy into some

vampire? We want to ask you on 0800 DALS at M this afternoon. Or you can text us at 9696 as well. What's the awkward movie, scene or TV show that you ended up watching with a family member? I'm already cringing. Was it mum? Was it dad? Was it nana?

And I don't think no matter how old I get, like it just will never not be awkward. Like I just don't want to be in that situation. For me, it doesn't get much worse than vampire sex with your in-laws. But maybe it will. Maybe it will. Oh, mate, there's plenty of stuff out there. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. We'd love to hear your stories.

New Studies Out says that Gen Zs don't want sex scenes in their movies or television shows. They want to see just friendships, just platonic friendships, which I don't know if that's true. I think some movies and some TV shows, and if it's done tastefully, I think it needs to be in there. Oh. Like imagine just, imagine if all the sexy scenes got banned from movies and TV shows, like just from now on, you're not allowed. So I flew on Qatar Airlines once and they edit. That's right, they do. They edit anything like that out of their movies. It didn't make sense.

A lot of stuff doesn't make sense if you cut all those scenes out. I watched that one with Kate Winslet and Idris Elba, The Mountain Between Us. Yeah. Which the whole movie is building to them doing this thing. There was no mountain. On a mountain. There was no mountain.

They got rid of the mountain. They got rid of the climax from the mountain. It was the whole middle part of the mountain was gone. Anyway, so we want to know what the awkward scene or movie you watched with a family member was. I think we kick it off with this text. It says, I watched Brokeback Mountain with my grandparents in the cinema when I was 14.

Grandfather thought it would be good because it was up for an Oscar without knowing anything else about the film. Oh, I would have died. Well, Grandad was right. It is an excellent film. It is a fantastic film, but I don't want to see it with my grandparents when I'm 14. Not the cowboy story I think

he thought he was going to get. Simone's here. Hi, Simone. Hi, Simone. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, Simone. Tell us, what was the sexy scene that you ended up watching with someone you didn't want to? Well, when I was about 14, I thought I would be Colin Steele, my older sister's DVD copy

of Magic Mike. Oh, yeah? Yeah. So I sat down watching it in the lounge. My dad came home and he had no idea what it was about. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I was watching a movie

about male strippers. So he sat down to watch it. And needless to say, about 15 minutes later, I was like, oh, Dad, look, I've got the worst headache. Turned it off and went to my room. So traumatising. He knew.

Can I just say, Simone, he knew. Do you know what? I thought he's probably doing this so I don't watch it. Like, he probably doesn't want me to watch it. Oh, he's like double bluffing you. I love that. Oh, it was traumatising. And then you guys never talked about it,

which is what happened to everybody else. You just sweep it under the carpet. I just pictured Simone in your living room and it's like, I've got a headache. So we said, who did you watch something awkward with? What awkward show did you watch with a family member?

Someone said, the entire first season of Bridgerton. Jesus Christ I cringe thinking about that. I haven't seen it but is it raunchy is it? It's, yeah. Oh this one, even to this day I would die if I had to

watch it with my parents. The American Pie movie. They said I was 16 watching American Pie as a family when the apple pie scene comes on. What about all the other scenes? There's so many horrendous scenes in that that I don't want to watch with a parent.

What about the, hey, Stifler, how's the pale ale? Oh, just this. I mean, the amount of scenes, the webcam scene, the apple pie, there's just a hundred of them. William's here. Hey, William. Hi, William. Hey, how's it going? We're good. What's the awkward movie you watched with your in-laws or your parents or your family?

So my girlfriend at the time, now my wife, but she decided to put on Fifty Shades of Grey and were in the same room as her mum. Oh, no. So, yeah, obviously it was going as it goes. And we, well, girlfriends are, oh, I might go have a shower.

So they left me and her mum in the same room just watching it. No. And then I thought, oh, this is probably the only opportunity I'm going to get alone with her mum. Wait, wait, wait. William, William, William. I know Fifty Shades is good, but what?

Let him speak. I need to know where this is going. So I asked her mum's permission for me to marry her daughter. Wait, as Fifty Shades of Grey was playing? Yes. Do you remember what part of the film was on as you asked your now wife's mum? It's a bit of a blur from my memory now.

I'm just trying to erase it. Oh, my God. Looking back on it, do you feel like that was the most appropriate time to ask that question? Probably not, but I could only see that time I was going to be alone with her mum. So I was like, oh, I better take it. William.

That's such a good story. Now it just makes me think, did you even actually want to marry her or did you just want to have something to talk about to distract from the movie? No, I definitely did. It's a good conversation story. Oh, it definitely did. It's just, it's a good conversation story to tell. It's great for the wedding speech, absolutely. Yeah, definitely.

Very, very funny. Oh, you poor fella. But I mean, it all worked out. You said you married now? Yeah, yeah, have been for three years. Oh, thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey. Yeah, exactly. I can just imagine what your first dance was, that Ellie Goulding song from the first movie.

Thanks, William. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. I saw this video today of this young girl who's gone viral for her very honest reaction to what it's really like working a nine-to-five job. We know what it's really like. Dolly Parton-five job. We know what it's really like. Dolly Parton laid it out perfectly.

What a way to make a living. Yeah. This is her first full-time job out of uni. Okay. So she's gone to school, straight to uni, and then has been thrust into a nine-to-five, Monday to Friday, 40-hour work week. Yeah, the real world.

And she says she was not ready for how much of her life it was going to consume. Because you and I, you and I have been in the workforce for 10, 15 years. We're jaded, you know, like we're desensitised to it. But you imagine you're fresh, you're young, you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, you think the world is, you know.

I honestly think that you have to get used to things. Yes. Like your body actually has to get used to working. Yes. A certain amount of hours a week. Like it's not just like you walk in there. Yeah. Like I remember there'd be times like where I went to my first like going

from different like working kind of like shift work going into like a full nine to five. Yeah. And I'd be so tired in the afternoon because I wasn't used to it. No, exactly right. And eventually you build up, you know, a work tolerance. You just adjust. You do, yeah. Her name is Briley.

And before you go, oh, this is just what life is. No, work ethic. Have a listen to what she has to say because I actually think she's got a point, okay? This is my first nine to five job after college and I'm commuting in the city and it takes me forever. I get on the train at 7.30 and I don't get home till like 6.15 earliest. I don't have time to do anything. I want to shower, eat my dinner and go to sleep. I don't have time or energy to cook my dinner either. Like I't have energy to work out like that's out the window like i'm so

upset nothing to do with my job at all but just like the nine to five schedule in general is crazy who's remote you get off at five and you're home and everything's fine and i know it could be worse i know i could be working longer but like how do you have friends like how do you have time to like meet a guy i don't know like how do you have time to like meet a guy? I don't know. Like, how do you have time for like dating? Am I so dramatic? It's fine.

Here's the sad truth. You don't have time for any of that stuff. No, you don't have time to look after yourself. You don't have time to go to the doctor or to the dentist. You don't have time to go to the physio if you need to. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, when do you do that? Yeah, yeah.

And the nine to five thing might have worked when it was nine to five if you lived 15 minutes from your house. But if you live in a big city, nobody lives 15 minutes from their house. They need to reassess. They need to reassess the nine to five. She's got such a good point

because we kind of did. With lockdown, we did. Yeah, but then it's all kind of gone back. You worked until five and then you shut your computer and then you were home. And weirdly, like with technology, shouldn't we have got to a place where we can do that

by now? We've proved that we can do it. People can't be trusted. But people can't be trusted. People can't be trusted to motivate themselves. And when I say people, I'm one of those people. I would not trust myself if I worked at home to motivate myself

to concentrate. God, the amount of snacks I would eat if I worked at home. Yeah. You know? You're like, oh, I might just go water that plant that I've been meaning to water. The amount of things I'd get distracted from.

Oh, the lawn does need a mow. Those people who set up those apps that just moved your mouse every now and then so that it said that you were still online. Oh, but afternoon delay. On Teams. Yeah. My partner and I are both working at home.

Hey, we're on the clock. On the what? We're on the, yeah. On the what? Anyway, Briley, I don't have any useful advice for you. There's no answer. But it's a good reminder that the way that people are living, when you have to do those really long commutes

and then work 40 hours on top of that, it's not actually normal or natural and it does suck. Yeah, they never tell you about the commute there and back. Yeah. You know? I used to work in a place, like I've done it all because I've moved a million times for radio jobs. But I remember one of my first radio jobs, I would spend an hour and a half, like an

hour and a half in the car because I was travelling at peak hour, an hour and a half to work, an hour and a half home. So three hours I would spend every day in the car. Some days. Like some days it might be shorter, but like there would be days and like on the regular, an hour and a half each way. Like what is that?

What a waste of your life. What a waste of life. Honestly, we should all just buy a van. Just carpool? No, let's just buy a van We'll go live in our vans at the beach Oh that's a radical solution And buy a bucket to wash our clothes in

Or buy a van and live outside work So you don't have to do the commute Then you just walk out of work and then you're home At your van house Can you imagine the CEO comes out Are you shitting in the street Yeah pay me more so I can buy an apartment in the city We talk about this charity shop In Wales Are you shitting in the street? Yeah, pay me more so I can buy an apartment in the city.

We talk about this charity shop in Wales that's been asked, that has asked the community actually to stop donating a particular item. Welsh rugby jerseys. They're like, guys. Leave the Welsh rugby team alone. Can you really throw stones right now? Yeah, we were in the final. We were in the final.

And we've won three rugby World Cups. Why am I picking on Wales? I like Wales. Why are you picking on Wales? If they were the spring box, I'd get it. I'm picking on Wales by proxy because I've been questioned by an Australian about the All Blacks. And so now I'm lashing out at Wales. This is an unhealthy, this is a vicious cycle.

You started it. I didn't bring up the All Blacks at all. You started going at Wales and I tried to defend them. Jeez, poor little Wales. To my Welsh brothers, I apologise. No, it's too late. No, it's a tough week. No, it's too late.

Okay. They're coming after you now. Okay, I'm sorry. Let's get back to this charity shop. It's a Bernardo store in Swansea in Wales and they've taken to social media actually to remind people about the different things that they want donated and some things that they definitely don't want donated. Okay, sure.

This is good for everybody. Exactly. So if you're thinking about donating these particular items, charity shops don't want them. They don't want them. They don't want them, okay? They said, could you please stop donating your used and unused adult toys? Wait, even the unused ones? Yeah. unused adult toys. Oh.

Wait, even the unused ones? Yeah, they don't want them. Even if they're still in the plastic rack? It says, we would like to remind you that the branch has CCTV so that these items can be traced back to their owners. What kind of sicko is donating a used one? Oh, my God. Yeah. They said that they've got.

Satisfyer Pro's got no suction left. Why would we want any? Why would we want that? They said, look, although we love getting your donations, these are not the sorts of toys that we're looking for. No, no. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I thought we could run through a bit of a list,

which I mean stop donating your used or unused adult toys. No. To the charity shops. Let's go through this list. Producer Ellie, you can weigh in on this. Would you buy these secondhand? Yep. Underwear?

New or used? Used. No. No? No. Okay. Tea towels? Used. No. No? No. Okay. Tea towels. Oh.

No, tea towels are cheap. You can get them from Kmart. No, I wouldn't buy. Wouldn't buy a used one? No, because tea towels can be a bit whiffy. So no. No, thank you. What about socks?

Would you buy a used pair of socks? Secondhand. Let's say used sounds gross. Let's say secondhand. Secondhand. Secondhand. I need to check my gross. Let's say secondhand. Secondhand. I need to check my privilege because I've got a bounty. It's not just coming

out of your nose at random. Maybe I still have COVID. I was going to say, you need to buy a hanky whether it be used or unused. No, I won't buy socks. Can we move on? I need to go to the toilet. Go to the bathroom. Hurry up.

Why? Is it still coming out? Yeah, my nose just got all leaky all of a sudden. Do you not have... This doesn't need to be broadcast, okay? Can we speed this up? Do you not have control over your nasal passage anymore? No.

Okay. Well, there you go. We'll wrap this up. Clint needs to go blow his nose. God, that's disgusting. Play. ZM's Brand Clint. On Insta.
