CLINT'S BACK! Clint's new voice What did you inherit? Escape artist pets Tip Top news See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. Clint is back. I'm back, baby. But it's a one-in-one-out policy, so I come back, Ella leaves. Yeah, producer Ella is away today, but producer Claude is here. Whoop, whoop. Claude, do you ever take a day off? I'd love to.

Nah, I'm too important. You're the rock at the moment of this show. Yeah, I'm like the glue and sticky tape holding us together. You're our foundations. She got COVID when you first started, right? Maybe a month or two in. You know.

So what I'm trying to say is she has taken days off as well. I work from home though, thank you very much. Yeah, well you did too. That is a great point. I'd always notice Claude in the Google Docs, like when we're doing like birthday banger and stuff i'd be like oh my god i will not be working from home when i get covered by the way i'm just putting it on that's probably fair i will be doing everything i can to avoid long covered and resting i will i will i'm just just saying that now um uh ella's not here because she won't mind us saying, will she?

You already said it on the radio, so. Yeah, but it's different. The internet lives forever. Yeah. I think it's fine to say. These things, you know, happen in life and it's a part of life and it's sad, but, you know. Her guinea pig gave birth and the babies did not make it. Yeah.

Which is very sad, especially because she was giddy about these guinea pigs too. But Jesus, this guinea pig journey has been a whirlwind. She went from thinking about getting guinea pigs to all of a sudden she had two guinea pigs. I don't think she even spent time thinking about it. She was like, idea done, bye. And then two weeks later the guinea pig was pregnant. Yeah. I mean, that's what guinea pigs are like.

They breed like guinea pig was pregnant. Yeah. I mean that's what guinea pigs are like. They breed like guinea pigs. Yeah. So anyway, she's done the right thing and taken a mental health day today to recover from the loss of her guinea pigs. It's nice to see your nose surgery hasn't

changed you. I really feel for her because I know she loves those i know she did yeah she does she loves animals as well so she really cares about those guinea pigs yeah yeah um speaking of animals i've been watching jeremy clarkson's farm and yeah i've never watched it but i've heard it's good i've never seen so many animals birthed like up close what? Up close, in HD, lambs coming out of the lamb gina. Is this what you watch when you go home? Yeah.

Have you ever stuck your hand into a cow? What? Yeah, I have. I used to do it in agricultural class back in high school. At school? Yeah, it was a course you could take at my, this is before I went to boarding school in Brisbane. This was in Stanthorpe.

And we used to put our hands into cows And you used to feel the cervix Did you not do that? I went to school in the city Bree and I went to Catholic schools Fisting was a big part of the curriculum It's actually quite eye-opening How old were you when you did it?

I think I was like 13 I did it as part of a wacky radio thing in my 20s Oh gotcha so that you weren't forced in high school to do it No no no no Just me then Yeah yeah yeah We didn't have a large rural curriculum where I was Gotcha

Which is weird because so many people went on to work on farms Have you guys ever shorn a sheep? Yes Yes Yeah That's an experience you can do at the I think it might be close Rainbow Farm in Rudderua Have you guys ever shorn a sheep? Yes. Yes. Yeah. No, but I'd love to. That's an experience you can do at the, I think it might be closed,

Rainbow Farm in Rudderua, but yeah, you could do that. Is it what a field day is? Yeah, I've definitely shorn some sheep. It's quite hard. What have you done? Why did you say it like that? I've ridden a horse. Oh, yeah.

Have you ever had to break the embryonic sack off a puppy? These are such niche questions. Have you ever milked a dog's anal gland? I've done that too. No. Am I quite sheltered? Maybe. Do you pick the boogers, not the boogers, do you pick the eye boogers out of your dog's eyes?

Oh, yeah, of course. He has to look beautiful. I pick them out of the cat's eyes. Do you? Is that your job? So that's my job in my household. So is that your guy's job in your household? I don't like doing it, but I just like him to look pretty.

See, what's not your job? Like what's something where it's like not my job in your household? The litter tray, my job. It's your job. The bowls, my job. What's your job. The bowls, my job. What do you mean the bowls? Cleaning up the cat bowls. Oh yeah, the cat food. Yeah, that's not fun.

Taking them to the vet, my job. So wait, it sounds like... I've been conned here. You have a lot of jobs with the cats. I do the admin and then they prefer to sleep with Lucy. Yeah, because you're the bad guy. Yeah.

It sounds like in Clint's world, he gets the responsibility of the cats and Lucy takes the girls. She's, oh, the human children. The humans, yeah. See, in my household, I'm not the vomit person. I can't do vomits. I can do poos. I the vomit person. I can't do vomits. I can do poos.

I'm the vomit person. Can't do vomits. If there's a midnight vomit, it's my job to jump up. Vomits is always, like in my household when we were kids, my dad was the vomit person. Yeah, dad is the vomit guy. This gross shit is the dad's job, by the way. I'm not complaining.

I remember my dad one time used his hands to create a bowl-like shape for me to throw up in as we were running to the toilet. Oh, human vomit. Me. Oh, I thought we were talking about animals. No, I'm saying vomit in general, though. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Like humans, animals. Children vomit is Lucy's job, yeah. Oh, really? Well, they're more comfortable when they're sick around her. Yeah. So she just by default. So you're the cat's vomit? I think I'd rather the human vomit, to be honest.

Cat's vomit's rank. Yeah, it's rank. It's so bad. I'm the you're the cat's vomit i think i'd rather the human vomit to be honest cat's vomit's rank yeah it's right it's so bad brown vomit yeah you'd rather the sympathy gags when other people are vomiting so i just can't be near that yeah i can't be anywhere the way that cat's vomit is so big that sound in the middle of the night nothing wakes you up quite like that so my cat kelly co used to sleep in my bed with me when I was younger, like for about my whole upbringing. And then sometimes I'd just hear, I'd be woken up by. I'd be like, no! They look like a piano accordion being played really fast. It's like the alarm, the cat vomit alarm.

Get up! Okay, let's leave. Let's have the whole team tomorrow. Shall we? Yeah. One in, one out. Our bag's tomorrow off. You can have Ella back and I'll go away.

Okay, fine. Okay. All right. Well, one day. Or if you decide, you could just come too. Oh, yeah. I'll see how I feel in the morning. Yeah.

I was going to say something. I've got to go because I've got to organise the $170 TV remote that my dog ate on the weekend. Sorry, I was going to say, anyone putting out lollies for trick-or-treaters tonight? See, I forgot. And our street is actually – You're in a neighbourhood that would, yeah. Our street is, like, renowned for being trick-or-treat.

We're in a new street. We've never lived in this street for Halloween before. I don't know what to expect. So you've got to be prepared just in case. Yeah. I might stop and get some candies on the way home. Do what my mum did, put a sign at the end of the driveway. No Halloween here.

I'll just do what I did last year and give all the kids Gaviscon. I'm coming in. Well, howdy, children. Shit's expensive. Two weeks ago, Clint Roberts departed ZM to undergo radical nose surgery. A full septoplasty

to open his airways and potentially change his voice forever. Now fully recovered, he returns to the Brie and Clint show. Debuting his new vocal range, Let Em Have It, Clint, show us your voice. Yeah, it's pretty much exactly the same as before I left.

But nice to be able to breathe. Hey, that's a plus. Yeah, it's good. That is a big plus in life. Listen to that fresh air. I mean, it could be, you know, it's a little bit swollen. There's still stitches in there. There's still quite a bit of blood and snot going on.

Yeah, but a lot better. Yeah. Am I disappointed that I haven't come back with like a deep kind of Barry White kind of like, like the guy who was doing the voiceover just there? Yeah. Am I disappointed I don't come back with like a deep kind of Barry White kind of like, like the guy who was doing the voiceover just there. Yeah. Am I disappointed I don't have that? Mate, yeah. Don't worry.

Your balls will drop one day. And it'll be a great day. Maybe it's not what I needed. Maybe I didn't need a nose job. Yeah. Maybe I just needed puberty. Hey, great to be back, everybody. I've recovered from my surgery

and we're back and we're good to go Thank you for holding down the fort for the last couple of weeks No worries mate, good to have you back with your new and improved nose and I can't wait to see what you can do with it I can't smell anything Has your smell still not come back?

No, it's not come back Are you sure you didn't have COVID at the same time you got the surgery? If I did have COVID, I thought about this, I wouldn't be able to test because I can't stick anything up my nose at the moment because it's still, well, I probably could do it now, but. It's packed full of stuff. Yeah, but I wasn't going anywhere anyway. I was just lying on the couch.

If I do have COVID, I'm staying home anyway. Good time to get it because you haven't had it yet. Yeah, don't tempt fate though. Touch wood, quick touch. Touch wood. There you go. anyway. Good time to get it. Because you haven't had it yet. Yeah, don't tempt fate, though. Touch wood. Quick, touch. Touch wood. There you go. Sweet.

drop of water coming down. I'm going to need to hear it. Welcome to the show, Angela. G'day, Ang. Hi, guys. Can we hear the popping sound? Sure.

I'm going to ask you if we can do it. Wait, did you expect us not to ask you to make the noise? Yeah, I will, actually. Right. Well, you were expected wrong. They're going to need to hear that. Okay. Hang on.

Did you hear it? Yeah, I did. I wish it was a better phone line, but, yep, we heard it. Yep, that's well done. Yep. Kind of sounded like exactly what I thought

Question number three. What is unique about the flag of Switzerland? Trading. Yes, Kian. The plus. That doesn't make it unique, unfortunately. No, Angela. I wouldn't give Angela the answer if I were you.

Angela. So did you say it was Switzerland? Yes. Did you say Switzerland? Yes. Is it like the cross? Were you listening? Oh, God gave you the answer.

He told you that that answer was wrong, and then he also accidentally gave you the right answer. Yeah, you can go again. Is it a Sierra? Yes, yes. It's squared. It's squared. All right.

That was messy, but another one to the tradies. Two, one. Question number four. Prince Harry's memoir is reportedly getting released in January next year. Who is Prince Harry's mum? Lady. Yes, Angela. Princess Diana.

It's ten. Ten was the answer we were looking for. Yeah. All right. That's okay, Kian. You're on the buzzer. You're on the money. Question number six.

This is still for the win. Guys, buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. Kian, for the win. Kylie Rae Jemison. He's done it. Very close game, Kian, but you've taken it out. $50 cash coming your way. Yeah.

I told you, Trady's going triple figures this week. Bree and Clint. I want to talk about this woman over in the UK who's set to inherit millions and millions of euros after her grandmother has recently passed away. Oh, euros. Nice. Yeah, so even more. Even more.

It's like double, isn't it? I think it's a little bit more than double. It's a little bit more than double these days. I'll figure it out. You tell me about what she's getting. So at the moment she's 30 years old. Her name's Marlena Englehorn and she has grown up in what she says, very rich. Right. A very rich, wealthy family. It's a fortune that's been passed on and amassed over multiple generations. So we're talking multi-billion dollar fortune.

So essentially their family started one of the world's largest chemical companies. That's how they've made all their money. Right? Anyway, she's come out into the media and said, you know, I'm about to inherit a ton of money and I want to give 90% of it away. 90% of it? 90% of it.

And her goal, she's actually an advocate where she says she wants her wealth to be distributed into the community via tax. And she says that people who get passed down wealth and fortunes should be taxed on it. Like a wealth tax? Yeah. So she's saying... An inheritance tax. Pretty much. So what she's saying is... I think that's a thing in America.

It could be. I think, yeah. It could be. Because she's saying, you know, no one talks about the big elephant in a room where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Yeah. And she said, you know,

this could be a way to kind of even those things out where the money gets put back into the community and it's not just this bad cycle that goes round and round. What an incredible person. I know. On paper, the right thing to do. Yeah. In the moment when your parents pop their clogs or whatever

and $100 million lands in your bank account, to go give almost all of it to the government. Yeah, and let them distribute it. And let them do it. Because I also understand no one can spend that amount of money, but I kind of feel like if I had that money, I'd want to decide where it goes. Like I would want to know that it's going specifically

to a certain project or know that it was getting there. She's just going to give it over and go, you guys deal with it. Well, she said that her family has always done that. They've always donated a lot of money to good causes, but she believes that the rich shouldn't be the ones to decide which people need the most support and where it needs to go. Yeah, good on her.

Yeah, which is pretty amazing. Because, I mean, when you grow up super rich like that, you don't really have a good grasp on reality. How did they raise a well-rounded, grounded, good person who was super rich? Yeah. They must have had nothing. They must have been like, yeah, we're millionaires, but we drive a Corolla. You know?

And it's from 1996. Yeah. We are in the top 0.1% in Europe, but we're getting your school uniform from the Sally Army. That's what we're doing. You're going to get a secondhand uniform just like everyone else. You know, I went to school with this girl who was from a very rich family, and they drove a Prius.

Oh, yeah? Both the mum and dad had a Prius. Leonardo DiCaprio drives a Prius. Yeah, he does. He flies on a private jet. But he also drives a Prius. Dri had a Prius. Leonardo DiCaprio drives a Prius. Yeah, he does. He flies on a private jet. But he also drives a Prius. Drives a Prius. Yeah, he offsets.

Well, on Wednesdays he drives a Prius and then other days he drives a V8 Rolls Royce. When he's driving, he drives a Prius. Exactly. But he very rarely drives himself. I thought we could ask people this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, have you inherited something? It might be money, but it might be a house.

It might be a car. It might be a Prius. It might be a horse. It might be a horse. Maybe you inherited a racehorse. A racehorse. Could be. Maybe you inherited a horse that's running in the Melbourne Cup tomorrow.

That'd be a good time to inherit the horse. I'll say. Yeah. Maybe you got your nan's dogs and she had eight of them. Maybe you inherited like a vintage car. Oh, that'd be a good one. You know, like a really

valuable vintage car. That'd be such a good one to get. Or maybe you inherited a cat that pisses in your house every day and you can't get rid of it because it kind of is your this embodiment of your dead grandma. Yeah, the soul of your grandma now lives in that cat.

Bree and Clint. Jess is here. Hi, Jess. G'day, Jess. How's it going? Good, thanks. Did you inherit something? I did.

I did. I inherited a wee dog and two cats from the elderly neighbour who passed away last year. Aw. Wait, did you want to inherit a dog and two cats? I knew about the dog and I was fine with it. The cats were a bit of a surprise. Yeah. Her son came and sorted out the house and, yeah,

the cats were just still kind of there. Do you reckon your elderly neighbour did leave you the cats or the son just couldn't be bothered and he's like, oh, yeah, mum said that she wanted you to have them? No, she didn't want to break them up. Shocker, not. Yeah, I feel like it was the latter. Yeah, right.

Right. Okay, happy families, though. That's a lot of animals to take on in one go. Yeah, we were lucky we didn't have any to begin with, so that was good. And they've just spotted him very nicely. Her wee dog has a bit of a separation anxiety now, so he comes to work with me every day.

Were you close with your neighbour? Yes, yes. So she helped me through some really hard times and, yeah, she just really helped look after me. Yes, yes. So she helped me through some really hard times. And, yeah, she just really helped look after me. She got quite poorly. We helped look after her and we were walking the dog, obviously. Well, good on you, Jess.

We were meals through the day. That's lovely, Jess. I mean, you've inherited a bill. I mean, she could have. That's a nice thing to do. You know, she could have given you the dog and the cats in the house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To keep them all in.

The dogs, the cats, and somewhere to raise them. In the house, yeah. Adam's here. Hi, Adam. G'day, Adam. Oh, yeah, yeah. G'day. How you going?

Good, man. We're talking about inheritances. What did you inherit? Oh, man, you wouldn't believe it, eh? I inherited a goldfish. A goldfish? Did you actually, Adam? Yeah, so...

From who? Yeah, no. In my family, it's just goldfish. A goldfish? Did you actually? Yeah. From who? Yeah, no. In my family, it's just my mother and her sister. And I don't know, my auntie passed away when I was like 13, a couple of years ago now. And yeah, no, she left my mum a bunch of money and I guess she started with bad, not leaving me anything. So she left me her goldfish.

That's so wild. Thanks, but no thanks. Yeah, I didn't have much experience with it. I didn't ask her long before. Oh, goldfish is dead? Yeah, yeah. You were the wrong person to leave the goldfish to. There it is.

Unfortunately, I was, wasn't I? Yeah, all right. I did not know you could do stuff like that. Do you reckon that was in her will? Leave them a fish? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can do that. You allocate everything.

Really? You can leave people your carpet samples if you want. None of these stories are what I wanted. These are the ones that we were hoping for. My husband inherited his grandfather's bronze statue. We've had it valued. It's worth $40,000, and it's sitting in our lounge. I inherited $57,000 and it's sitting in our lounge. I inherited

$57,000 from my granddad. We got a share of what would have been my mum's. It was split between me and my dad and my brother. What about this one? My uncle's a well-known Māori composer. I inherited all his compositions. Oh, okay. I want to know who and I want to know

what songs you've inherited. Yeah, same. Someone else said, I inherited $1,000 worth of shoes. That's good. Hey, I'll take it. I inherited my father's anger issues. There you go. I inherited mum's great looks. Don't worry, she's still alive.

Ha ha. I love it. Bree and Clint. It is finals week on Celebrity Treasure Island. There are three episodes left to go. There's not long now. There are three episodes left to go. There's not long now. There are six celebrities left on the island. Yes, six celebrities left.

And tonight's episode, and I'm not talking it up when I say this, probably one of the biggest, most dramatic best moments on Celebrity Treasure Island ever. Wow. In my opinion. One of the celebrities who's still on the island, and God, I never expected him to make it this far, is our very own Cam Mansell.

Jeez. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I had no confidence in you. I know, that's what I'm saying. I was like, oh, good on Cam. He'll give it a good go. He's here, the final six. You're in the top six.

It's because nobody put me up for elimination. I definitely would not still be there. Is that your strategy? Just 100% make friends with everyone. Do you think it was your social game obviously was very strong because across the series you see how many different connections you make and you make them at the right time? Was that always a part of your game plan going in?

It was part of my game plan going in and I don't see myself as a very strong person. So I was like, it's not going to be strength that gets me through this experience. Physical strength. Physical strength. Right. Probably mental strength too, let's be honest. No, I don't believe that.

You've got to give yourself more credit than you're probably giving yourself because you've made it this far. This could be a case of, and I genuinely don't know, only Bree and Cam know how the season finishes. I don't know. This could be a case of nice guys finish first for a change because you're a genuinely nice person

and maybe that is the key to this. You've just gone through and people are like, we can't get rid of Cam. I can't get rid of Cam Mansel. We can't vote Cam out. Maybe that's how it goes. You've got to stay in. Because tonight, if you're watching Treasure Island,

if you're not, this is a spoiler, so I'll give you a chance to tick off because last week. You've got a few episodes to catch up on. Yeah, well, you do. But if you haven't seen last week, because it was kind of a big episode where they all did a challenge to see who was going to get to decide the pairs of who will be paired together in tonight's episode and Courtney obviously took

that out last week. Cam, do you think you knew what Courtney was going to do? I kind of did. It's always a tricky thing with Courtney because her mind changes about 10 times every time she's making a decision so you never really know what she is going to do but I think in my gut instinct I kind of had an inkling of where she was going to go yeah because I feel like there's a lot of big stuff that happens that impacts her decision

there are three episodes left to go, and our very own Cam Mansell could be the winner of season three of Celebrity Treasure Island. I hope you are. I really hope we're talking to you on Thursday. I'll see you on Thursday. As the word. 7.30 tonight, TVNZ2, Celebrity Treasure Island.

Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio This is The Latest Live from LA with Dean McCarthy Dean, this story's pretty wild Obviously Adele's residency in Las Vegas She had quite a lot of issues It didn't go to head

People are saying it's about to go ahead again And people are going to pay crazy amounts of money for the tickets They are This four month sold out show And because it's sold out already You can't even buy tickets Crazy amounts of money for the tickets. They are this four-month sold-out show. And because it's sold out already, so tickets, you can't even buy tickets. And, of course, then her postponing it creates even more drama and more suspense. Tickets are going for up to $75,000 a ticket. What?

Now, I know, this is so crazy. At the moment, the cheapest ticket you can buy as a resale is actually $1,200. And initially, that was the most expensive ticket you could buy, and now it is the cheapest. And the most expensive is now $75,000. You get a meet and greet. You probably get

a free drink, perhaps. But what's wild about this story, right? Not only are her tickets just insanely, obnoxiously expensive, she has decided, and this is not shade, this is not shade, this is just the truth, she's decided to pull back the show. So she was going to have a 60-person orchestra, this big, dramatic

stage, kind of like think Celine Dion, and she's decided to pull it all the way back instead of spending like, you know, $5 million on the stage, she's going to spend like $35,000 on the stage, and she's just going to be there, it's going to be intimate, intimate show for $75,000 on the stage. And she's just going to be there. It's going to be an intimate show for $75,000. I'd want a 60-person orchestra to take me home. I'd want them to be like the Pied Piper and literally take me home.

For $75,000, I want a song written about me. I want one of her cars delivered to my house. Yeah. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. $75,000. I've seen Adele live. She's fantastic.

Nothing. For $75,000, I want you to bring someone back from the dead. Like, I want to see Michael Jackson and it not be a hologram. I want you to sing a bunch of different songs while magical tigers are flying around the top of the stage. You'll be there though, right, Dean? Front row, Las Vegas, the Adele residency. They'll have you there for sure.

Oh, yeah. For $35,000. Boss Ross is coming. I hope he's listening. Just send one little ticket. Just one ticket and we'll do an exclusive. There it is. P.S. Dean, I saw your Halloween outfit.

What were you? Army Ken? When is Commando Ken, doll? Commando Ken. If you want to see something very sexy, go to Dean McCarthy's Instagram. Free and Clint. A pub over in the UK has shared footage of a bunch of people doing a dine and dash.

Scumbags. After they chowed down on stuff like steak, lobster, champagne, and then they hightailed it out of their Clint. That is rude. That is inconsiderate. That is high risk as well. Because if you get caught, if you don't make it out the door and there's a bouncer, it's very clear what you were doing.

The bill came to around $530 for six diners when they were at the Sutton Arms in Stokesley over in the UK. And it's so sad because the pub is owned, it's a family-owned pub. Yeah. And obviously after the last couple of years or three years with COVID, everyone is struggling in hospitality to just stay open. Anyway, the owner of the pub has posted on Facebook and said,

look, please could the table of six come back to pay their bill after you left last night without paying? I'm guessing there was probably a bit of confusion when thinking another member of the party had already paid the bill. We won't ask any questions. Give them the fake benefit of the doubt. Exactly. That's good.

Trying to lure them back in. While at the same time incriminating them with footage on social media. Yeah. It's quite a good way to do it. The funniest part to me is the CCTV footage, which they did release on their Facebook page, is they actually dash. They ran.

So they actually run. Yeah. So it's not an accident. I don't believe so unless they were running late. No one runs after a steak dinner if they can help it, you know. You roll. You lumber slowly. Steak and lobster.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're rolling down the street. Yeah, absolutely. I thought we could ask people who have worked in the hospitality industry or maybe still work in hospitality, does this still happen? Yeah. Yeah, probably more now than before as well with things like ram raids and just the way things are at the moment.

When I used to work at a restaurant and I was a waitress and I remember this one night we had like the restaurant part and then there was a room out the back for like big parties and I was working out the back and there was a group of 20 people and it was this young group of guys because I used to work at this steakhouse and it was a really nice place for steak. And this group of young men had booked this big room out the back for one of their friend's birthday parties.

And so I was looking after them all night, you know, checking on them and they ordered lots of food, like lots. I think it was about a $1,200 bill, like a big bill. And at the end of the night, my boss comes up to me and he goes, you know that table you were looking after didn't pay? And I was like, what do you mean? Because it's not my job. They, you know, you walk back through the restaurant,

you pay as you walk back through. And he goes, no, they never paid. They did a runner. On $1,200? 20 people though. Yeah. Wasn't even like, you know, two people. That is not your fault.

If 20 people can get out the door without paying, that is the whole restaurant's fault. Isn't that wild? Yeah. My boss tried to make me feel like it was my fault and I cried in the storeroom. Bree and Clint. Our guests this afternoon are the stars of the new Grom Con Bros.

One of them you might know as Billy on the Street where he asks literally thousands of people if they want to have sex with Paul Rudd. Iconic. And the other one is so ripped he makes John Cena look like he skipped chest day. Please welcome to the show the hilarious Billy Eichner and Luke McFarlane. Yeah, g'day lads.

That was nice, thanks. Is that accurate? Do you feel like that summed you guys up well? John Cena could eat me alive. Guys, Bros is fantastic. Brie and I both absolutely loved it. We laughed from start to finish. Can you tell us just

how groundbreaking this movie really is? Billy, it's true. You're the first openly gay man to write and star in a major studio film. Is that correct? I'm the first openly gay man. People don't know that. They don't want to give me credit for that, but it's true. I, uh, yeah, I mean, to be honest, when we first started working on it, you know, it wasn't historic at the time you don't sit down and write a historic movie you know we were just focused on making it a really funny romantic honest movie you know and then as it turned out universal wanted to make it which was very surprising to me because they've never made a movie like this and um you know at that point i guess it took on a certain historic significance in certain ways. But, you know, it would be too overwhelming and intimidating to think about that while you're making the movie. So we just focused on making a really entertaining movie that was relatable and that would be a great time at the theater for people.

It was pretty amazing for me to watch as someone from the LGBTQI plus community myself. Can I just say, lads, it was one of the first films that I think I've watched that portrays stories about gay people that I felt was just so real and just to the point, yeah, where I've got so many gay friends where I was just kind of like, I feel like I've watched a lot of these stories and heard a lot of this stuff play out in real life. Was that the goal, you think, to just have a really raw and real movie? Yeah, I mean, again, our goal was to make it super funny because it's a comedy,

but it was always just as important for us to be honest about it. You know, I told Nick Stoller, who I wrote the movie with and who directed it, who's a straight man, I told him that I wasn't really interested in doing it if we had to be super cautious about the way we were presenting our lives. It was a priority for me that it be real and authentic. I wanted my gay friends to go to it and feel like they were seeing a version of themselves in the movie, that we had captured what our lives in 2022 as gay men, single gay men, gay men who were dating, who were looking for love, who were trying to navigate intimacy and vulnerability, that it felt real, that it looked real,

because that's the only way the movie would really have an impact on people. We've seen a lot of gay characters over the years in sitcoms and things, and they've been very funny and entertaining, but we're not always allowed to be multidimensional and complicated. And I think people worry about, are we going to be likable? Are we going to be relatable to a straight audience? And what Nick and Judd and I did, and, you know, they're both straight and I'm gay,

but they always said, it'll be the most relatable if it's honest. And so we wanted to keep it real as much as possible. Well, I think you absolutely nailed that. You know what's funny is the first day of filming, we had one of our first sex scenes. Yeah. No way.

What was that like on the first day of filming? We're both professionals and we knew what was required. And, you know, we just dove in and did our best. But it's obviously a very odd thing to do. Luckily enough, you guys would have the experience and your chemistry really showed on screen so you nailed it. So much about being an actor is bizarre including sitting in a hotel room in Melbourne

and talking to people in New Zealand. Are you in Melbourne? Oh, you should have come over. We're just over in bloody New Zealand. We wish we could. We're both great fans of New Zealand. Hey, the movie is fantastic. We're so excited for Kiwis to get to watch Bros.

Billy and Luke, congratulations on a very funny film and thanks for your time this afternoon. Thank you. Thank you. Bree and Clint. This is big, guys. Probably one of the biggest moments of the year. Probably a drumroll moment, eh?

It is. It's a big moment because the bird of the year has been announced. I did it too early. And with a whopping 51,856 votes cast, one bird has come out on top. Okay. And that bird received 2,894 votes. Cut to the chase, woman. Just say bird of the year has been named

And it is The winner of bird of the year Is the rock wren Boo What? Why? Rock wren Why are you so down on the rock wren?

Rock wren It's a wren I've never even heard of a rock wren. It's cute. Have you seen it? I don't care. Look how cute it is and it's holding a little rock guitar. It doesn't really hold that guitar. I feel.

Do you know why I like it? Let me just hear me out. Yeah, sorry. Lead with positivity. You know why I like that the rock ran as taken out bird of the year? Because it was the underbird. It was one of the underbirds, okay? Well, what other underbird would you have liked to have won?

The bird that I was the ambassador for. I was the celebrity endorser of the Tuturuatu, okay? A fellow underbird. Oh, it's had its time. Well, it clearly didn't because it didn't win. All of this is, hmm. Look, I think we're on a slippery slope with Bird of the Year. You know what they did this year?

Eliminated some of the more popular birds to give these weird alternative birds. What birds got eliminated? Like the kākāpō or something like that. The birds that people really love. I mean, but the kakapo has so much attention. Yes, yes. You know, like it was on the Air New Zealand ad. Yes, yes.

Like it's had its time. It's had its time in the sun. But if we are selecting our favourite bird, then every bird should be available. What bird did you want to win? The pukeko again. No, I told you, the tuturuato, the bird which I have endorsed publicly. Okay, well that would have been fine because it hasn't

won before. Did I forget to vote for the bird that I was an ambassador for? Yes. Well, you're the worst ambassador ever then. You can't have a say in this. I voted. Who did you vote for? The rock wren. You can't have a say in this. I voted. Who did you vote for?

The Rock Wren. You did not. You're a Rock Wren bandwagon supporter. That might be true. You're like those people who support the Crusaders after they win. That could be true, but you have no proof. So I'm going to say I was behind the rock wren from the beginning. I just think that.

It was the rock wren's year. I think there needs to be a serious audit done of the entire bird of the year competition. You think an overhaul? Possibly. I believe there could be corruption at play. Do you smell a rat at the bird of the year competition? Bree and Clint.

One of them has employment implications for you and I if we choose to play that one. I know the one you're talking about.

Yeah, see, I love Pitbull, but it was something about, I'm just going with the vibe. I'm choosing Molly's song, Owl City.

I feel like I agree with you. Molly, congratulations. You've just won Birthday Banger and a $100 JB High Five out chart. Wow, thank you so much. How good. How good. Nice, Molly. Three great songs. We could only

Makes me feel old Because we are. Need to get a more supportive bra. Time to get a new eye cream. Our city, Kylie Rae Jepsen. Controversial. Tina Turner. Ripped off.

You know how much I love Tina. Me too. Especially this song. This is the Mad Max song. This is Thunderdome, right? Yeah. Yeah. Banger Banger

1985 this song came out It's older than both of us It wasn't the right choice Oh it's held up It's held Yeah it's a great song Oh well you live and you learn Listen to this

Listen to this This is my new nose I, you live and you learn. Listen to this. Listen to this. This is my new nose. I've been away and had nose surgery. Listen to this. Okay, that's not a good example. I knew that was going to happen. There's a bit of stuff. Wait, should we test mine just to give us, you know, like a comparison?

See, that's what I want. That's what I'm going for. This is where you're going to get to. That's where I'm getting. And to be honest with you, if I had done my nasal flush for the day. Don't call it a nasal flush. Call it what it is. My nose douche.

That's the one. Then I would sound like that too. I would. Because I have had a septoplasty. Actually, do you want to know the exact name of what I've had? I have had three procedures. I've had a septoplasty. I've had a bilateral comprehensive fist.

And I've had a bilateral endoscopic turbonoplasty. Didn't you have a flaccityplasty? Yeah, they stiffened it up for me. Yeah, they made the bridge a bit stiffer. Yeah. I have been posting a bit about this on Instagram and it's incredible how many people have had this operation or realised that they need it

because what I found out is I didn't have any nasal passages. Can I just say I told you to go and get checked for this years ago? No, you told me to go and have my adenoids out. Well, same thing. Same, same. And to be fair, I did go to the ear, nose and throat specialist and I said, my friend Bree told me I need to have my adenoids out. And they said, nah, you don't.

And he stuck a camera in my nose and it came on the big screen straight away and he goes, there's no hole, bro. There's no gap. I can't get up there. Yeah, yeah. Bro, I can't get in. It's too tight. It's too tight. So anyway, anyway, anyway, I've had two weeks off recovering from this surgery. It's pretty

massive, the surgery. I wasn't, I mean, don't overstate it. I've had elective nose surgery. It's more than I mean, I don't mean to overstate it. I've had elective nose surgery. It's more than I've ever had done. So it's massive to you. It was a night in hospital and I've never spent a night in hospital. So you're so lucky. Yes, and I'm very grateful for that.

So lucky. It's not bigger than a caesarean, obviously. It's not bigger than lots of surgeries. But for me, it was a very big deal. Yeah, well, it's your first experience, your first time under anaesthesia. Which is wild to me. Holy shit, that whacked me.

Yeah, well that's the whole point. No, I know, but I mean afterwards. You didn't wake up very well? The anaesthesiologist that put me under, because you have a chat with him beforehand and I think it's meant to put you at ease. Yeah. Didn't. Because I was a bit scared. I talked to you, I was quite scared. How scary is the part where they actually put the stuff into you and you...

Yeah, and you fade away. Yeah. Yeah. I said to him, because that's the bit I was worried about. I was like, what's it like? It's so hard to describe. What's the sensation? And he said to me, well, I've never had it before,

but my patient said it's just like falling asleep. It's not like falling asleep. It's kind of like fainting. Yeah. And you have this moment where you go, oh, here I go. My real peaceful fainting. Anyway, it was all good. It went really well.

The surgery was a success. I'm really enjoying the results. When I came out of the procedure, the nurse who was looking after me in the hospital told me the craziest thing because I said, what sort of pain relief did I have while I was in there? Like, oh, you had tramadol and you've got paracetamol in your system. She said, oh, just check your chart because sometimes they put cocaine in your nose. What?

They said sometimes when people are having this procedure because they do a local anesthetic thing too, this is not a joke. They use a cocaine paste inside your nose. And she said to me, do you want me to find out if you had the cocaine paste? And I went, yes please. Isn't it funny because that's the reason why some people would be there in the first place

to get the septoplasty. It could be the cause of the deviated septum. And she went away and she came back and said, oh bad news, no cocaine. I said, jeez, this is a bloody expensive operation. I feel like you should give me some of the cocaine to take home. I feel like I've earned it. Anyway, it's gone good.

What we did beforehand is I got producer Claude to put together a script of the most nasally sentences we could find. So we could do a comparison. A before and after. A before and after of my voice. A before and after. Your voice before, your voice after the surgery. Let's see if there's been a change.

So, Claude, you've put these together. We're going to have a listen to these. I had to do a full linguistic study to put this together. Okay. What you're going to hear is a statement from before the operation and the same statement after the operation. I haven't heard these yet. Let's see if there's any difference.

My name is Clint Roberts, and this moment is monumental. My name is Clint Roberts, and this moment is monumental. Any difference? Yeah, I think there's definitely a difference. 100%. If my voice sounds different, I ask you to please mind your manners and don't be mean. If my voice sounds different, mind your manners and don't be mean. The first one kind of sounds like Kermit the Frog?

Yeah, like an old turtle cartoon character that's like talky, you know, like that. Yeah. Doesn't it? This is my voice the day before my surgery. This is my voice 12 days after having no surgery. Damn, 100% sounds different. You sound like a Siri in the second one.

Yeah. Wow. That's going to be great for our ratings. This is going to be. Were you trying to enunciate a bit more on the second one? No, what are you saying? Bree and Clint. Six o'clock Friday last week,

breaking news coming through that concerns all New Zealanders. Simon Dallow covered it off on the 6pm bulletin. Well, summer might be just around the corner, but two popular ice cream flavours will be missing from supermarket freezers. Tip Top has discontinued tubs of Goody Goody gumdrops and cookies and cream.

And I thought when I heard this, no, no, no. Cookies and cream? No, no, no, no. What are they up to? Cookies and cream? No, no, no, no. What are they up to? Cookies and cream is like the modern day vanilla. What are you doing getting rid of cookies and cream? Oh, you're a supporter of cookies and cream. I'm just saying cookies and cream is like a staple in the ice cream flavour world these days.

As is Goody Goody Gumdrops. Yeah. The greatest ice cream flavour available in the country, unique to New Zealand, a part of our cultural fabric, part of our lineage, our history being taken away from us. Goody Goody Gumdrops. There's not a person on this earth who doesn't like Goody Goody Gumdrops. I went into a stratospheric register I'm that passionate about.

Look, I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever tasted it. Excuse me? I don't think I've ever had it. You've never had goody-goody gumdrops? When I think about it, I thought that I had it. What is it exactly? What's the flavour? Green.

You don't even know the flavour? It's either lime or mint. I don't know. It's like a lime, mint, and then... It's got jubes in it. Isn't it kind of like bubblegum-y? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What Claude said. It's either lime or mint. I don't know. So it's like a lime, mint, and then... It's got jubes in it. Isn't it kind of like bubblegum-y? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What Claude said.

It's green. It tastes like green. It's green. You don't even know the flavour. I do. It tastes like Goody Gumdrop. It's got lollies in there. I feel like I have had it before,

and the lollies are quite hard, and they get stuck in your teeth. They soften. You've got to warm them up in your mouth, that's what. It's a slow burn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a New Zealand classic, okay up in your mouth yeah it's a slow burn yeah yeah it's a

new zealand classic okay and to me it's more controversial than getting rid of cookies and cream cookies and cream um wait wait be careful here i get that you're upset about goody goody gumdrops i'm sure that flavor is lovely but you can't there's 150 different kinds of cookies and cream so ben and jerry will do your cooking cookies and cream. There's 150 different kinds of cookies and cream. Ben and Jerry will do your cookies and cream, you know. Don't worry about it. Yeah, but sometimes you want just... Who's going to make goody, goody gumdrops for me? Well, maybe Ben and Jerry's will see a gap in the market.

Yeah, we can only hope. They go, boom, we're in. This news is shocking and hard to decipher. So we've reached out to Tip Top for clarification. Because is it just the two litre tubs that are going? So you can still get it, it's just not the two-litre tubs. Are they stopping making all of these altogether? Claude, we didn't get a response.

Did we know when a Tip Top came through? I went straight to the big dog. Did you go straight to the top? Straight to the top. Did you go to tip or top? The tippity top. The tippity top. Right to the tippity top.

Weirdly, I didn't hear that. No, no. I've done my own research and this is what I can deduce. The two flavours will continue in scoop shops. So you can go in and get a scoop of goody goody gumdrops or cookies and cream. You will not be able to buy your own tub to take home. Oh, that stink buzz.

I don't like that. Do you want to go panic buy some ice cream with me after this? What if you just want to have it at home and you want to relax and have your flavours at home? I've got to be honest, I've never bought a tub of this stuff. I only buy it in scoops, so this news is actually fine by me. I'm good. I'm good.
