Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. Here we go. Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast, where I feel like you can tell, we haven't even said it on the radio, but you can tell people where you are, can't you Brie? No, not where I am, but I can say that I'm not in the studio with you guys. Right. Oh, is the location a secret? Yeah, big secret. Right. Well, we probably should have thought about that before we filmed you all day sitting in front of the local radio station sign. I'll blur it out. I'll blur it out. All the footage we – because Bree's broadcasting from a studio outside of ours at the moment, and you're at a small community radio studio, and in the background is a big sign for that community. It's like slightly off
Starting point is 00:00:46 to the side. You can only see the you can't see all of it. But if you know you know. If you know you know. I mean if you're from here you'll know. You can see the first two letters. I feel like you could figure it out. There's a lot of places in New Zealand. She's not a radio Washington put it that way.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Idiots. We'll breeze off doing a secret project. Secret. Secret. So many secrets. What did they say? They said so many secrets at the same time. That's why your hair's so big.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I mean, I can tell the podcast listeners. I'll just tell them. I read that story about that guy having the record-size male appendage on Naked Attraction, so I came back for another season. You're back on Naked Attraction? Yeah. They wanted me back. That was the bait.
Starting point is 00:01:35 That was what hooked you in. Yeah. I was like, I'm flying in the sinker. The lady on Naked Attraction said it was too big. Not for you? I still am searching for the video where they don't blur it. Yeah. All right, well, that's the topic of today's podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:52 How big is too big? Yeah, how big is too big? Gosh, I don't even know. No comments from the producers. Oh, do you guys want to know what bit me Yeah I was going to say that That ended up on the cutting room floor Where Ella got bit by something
Starting point is 00:02:10 And we were going to ask the question on the show today What bit ya So Ella what bit ya Can I guess Because you are notoriously the biter we found out recently In your relationship you're the biter Yeah you bite Ryan's lip all the time. I used to.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Are you reformed? She wears a mouth guard now. You're a reformed biter. Did you bite yourself? No. No, this is things that bit her. Oh, I see what you're saying. Are you the thing that bit you? Yeah, you bit yourself. And we've already ridden off guinea pig, right? Not a guinea pig.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I'm going to lock in child. Not a horse? I'm going to lock in child. Not a child. I'm going to lock in... I'm going to lock in flea. No. That's not exciting. Ant. No, okay, I'm just going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:03:00 It was a... It was a wild injured bird that i were you rescuing it well i yeah right so ungrateful i know my boyfriend saw it on the beach went over i thought it was a penguin i pick it up because i thought it was like you know it'd like a cuddle. And it bit me. And then it wouldn't let go. It hung on. Was it a shag? Do they look like penguins? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:31 They're like black. They've got a white belly and a black. Yeah. Could be. What did you do with it? Well, we called a number, the council or whatever, and they were like, oh, it might just be tired because of the storm. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:45 And so we just put it up close, like, further away. You just yeeted it back into the ocean. No, we didn't. We put a little circle around it. I bet you threw it away. I did try to yank it off a bit. You gave it a kick. Poor Nick. You tried to yank it off.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Back into the wild. Well, it was hurting me. Oh, yank it off yourself. Birds are fucking scary, man. Have I told you about... Yeah, sorry. I got bit when I was a kid. I got bit by a bin chicken and I have been terrified by birds
Starting point is 00:04:11 ever since that experience. And for people that don't know what a bin chicken is, otherwise known as an ibis, the ugliest bird you've ever seen. They're like white. Their body's all white and then their head is black and they've got this long beak and they're called bin chickens because you always see them rifling around the bins in Australia. Why'd they name that hotel chain after them?
Starting point is 00:04:33 Which one? The Ibis Hotel. Oh, the Ibis. The Bin Chicken Hotel. Not the Bin Chicken Hotel. You know what's funny is that producer Ben, his producer nickname on that radio show he's on in Melbourne with Jase, they named him Ben Chicken.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Because of how he says Ben. Yes. That's good. That's quite good. It's so good. Did I tell you guys about my bird mystery? What? Oh, your duck.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Oh, the pigeon, yeah. You told us. I told you, eh? Did I tell everybody? The three dead pigeons? What? There's an area at? The three dead pigeons? What? There's an area at my house Where dead pigeons keep showing up
Starting point is 00:05:08 That's terrifying Yeah Do you know why? People are shooting them No I don't know And their heads are still attached So it's not the cats
Starting point is 00:05:15 It's just the place to go Yeah, but Oh Sorry You go Oh, you haven't figured it out? No, I just thought of another story But that's completely off topic
Starting point is 00:05:24 Okay, well Okay, well. Okay, well. Was it what stung you? What vomited in your hand when you just woke up? Answer, my cat. Ew. Yeah. I vomited into my dad's hand multiple times when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Ew. Ew, why? Well, that's what you do. You put your hand out to catch it because it's better than it going on the car seat. But surely some of it goes on the car seat and then you also have it on your hand. Yeah, but you want to catch as much as possible. Put your hands out and eat it.
Starting point is 00:05:52 I remember my sister had the spews, the spew bug, and I hadn't got it yet and I was terrified. Did she have the family trippy bowl? The family trippy and spew bowl next movie? Yeah, so she had the family spew bowl and that day I'd eaten like two punnets of strawberries because it was strawberry season. Anyway, I remember waking up in the middle of the night and I was like, woke up and I
Starting point is 00:06:14 looked down at my bed and just went, I started spewing. Then my dad runs in because he was already awake with my sister because she was spewing and he makes this big hand bowl and I spewed all into his hands as he was running me to the toilet. Shout out to dads. You're doing God's work. All right, let's go. We've got to go. On that note.
Starting point is 00:06:35 That was chaotic, sorry. That's enough. You're welcome. Enjoy the podcast. Bye. I'm coming now. Well, howdy pilgrims. Afternoon everybody.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Bree and Clint coming to you live and ready to confirm yes, we are the ones who leaked Mia Wayne Brown's text messages. It was us. We're in his tennis group
Starting point is 00:07:04 and we thought yeah, nah, F this guy. Let's get the messages out to the people. Well, it was an accident. We accidentally leaked the leak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We put it in the group chat and then it just went like wildfire. We also leaked a couple of tasteful nudes of ourselves. Weirdly, the New Zealand Herald didn't pick those up.
Starting point is 00:07:22 They weren't that interested. They said, yeah, we'll have the Wayne Brown text, but you guys doing the tasteful nudes, not really our bag. I'm kind of offended, to be honest. I was like, look, we've given you a story here and you haven't even went with it. This show leaks like a sieve, so any information you share with us this afternoon will be broadcast on the airwaves. So 9696, you can text us your darkest secrets. Today on the show, lots going on. We're going to talk to the CEO of Eden Park to find out what's happening with the Ed Sheeran show.
Starting point is 00:07:50 That place was underwater last week. On Saturday, after the floods, Eden Park looked like a lake. Did you see the pictures? Yeah, I did see the pictures. It was wild how much water was in that stadium. I heard they were going to have that Cirque du Soleil show that is on water there. Have you seen that show before?
Starting point is 00:08:10 Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, it is incredible. Yeah. So, is it called So, I think? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. I fell asleep in the middle of it. Those shows, I always enjoy the first 30 minutes of a Cirque du Soleil and then after a while I'm like, yeah, I get the point. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:25 More backflips. 30 minutes? How old are you, five? Well, there's no words. There's no words. There's no storyline. So after a while, I'm like, cool, I get it. You do some tramp stuff.

Starting point is 00:12:07 Brie and Clint. Brie, I forgot my wedding anniversary. Mate, you forget every single year. I'm not surprised. Lies. I do not forget every single year. I do not forget every single year. But it's okay because my wife forgot her wedding anniversary too.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Well, it hasn't even been yet. So technically, does that count that you forgot? Well, yeah, that's a very good point. We realised today that we had forgotten that it was coming up, is what I mean. Because I've got it in my calendar. I've got it in my diary, in my little Google calendar. Yeah, so you haven't forgot.
Starting point is 00:12:39 No, I haven't forgot. But I did see this thing on Thursday. You know how it shortens the things that are too long and it just said wedding dot dot dot. And I was like, whose wedding am I going to on Thursday? So I opened the notification and it said wedding anniversary
Starting point is 00:12:54 and I went, Oh no. Because I haven't got a gift. I haven't got anything organised. Then there's still time. Where's this shit on, mate? Jesus Christ. There's a natural disaster happening, okay? You know what I would like for wedding anniversary? Consistent power and water at our house.
Starting point is 00:13:11 That's what I'd settle for at the moment. That'd be a great gift. I want to just throw into this conversation the fact that your wedding anniversary falls a day after your birthday, and I would argue quite hard to forget. Yeah, well, I forgot my birthday too. I started doing that after 32, mate. Yeah, yeah. I said to Lucy, my wife, when I realised, I said,
Starting point is 00:13:35 shit, it's our wedding anniversary on Thursday. And she goes, oh, my God. And then she goes, it's your birthday tomorrow. And I went, oh, my God. So we're a little preoccupied. I said to Luce, I think it's our fifth wedding anniversary. Is it? Five already?
Starting point is 00:13:53 She goes, no, no, it's not. No, no, no, no, no. And then I counted 2018, 19, 20, 21. I did the math and it's five years. I did it. And it is our five-year anniversary. So we didn't even realise. What do you get for the fifth wedding anniversary?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Because that's like a round number. Good question. What is it? Claude, can you Google what is the traditional gift for the fifth wedding anniversary? We've come to an agreement that we're not going to do gifts though. So we just went. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Can we just both admit that we forgot? Because we don't have time to organise anything. And we'll just say, no gifts. And she goes, yeah, I wasn't going to get you a gift anyway. Cool. Yeah, we're good. Can I ask? Oh, Claude's got it.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Yeah, fifth wedding anniversary is what? Fifth wedding anniversary is, it's wood. Oh, I actually do have a gift. Claude. I do. Claude, are you cracking a funny? No, no, genuinely. Shouldn't have said cracking. Turns out I do have a gift when they see them? I do. Claude, are you cracking a funny? No, no, genuinely. Shouldn't have said cracking.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Turns out I do have a gift for my wife. Turns out. Is that a gift? Could have gone as something bigger. Well, it's from me to her. It doesn't say, hey, no, hey, hey, hey. It doesn't say size, okay? It doesn't say it has to be.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I want to ask this afternoon, what's the important date that you forgot? We're fine with the fact that we forgot our wedding anniversary. There's bigger things going on. We'll get around to it. We'll do something. Don't think we're completely unromantic. We'll do something.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Okay, we'll get there. But for now, we're just going to write it off and go, we forgot this year. We'll do it next year. Yeah, we'll do it. We've got another one next year. Yeah, next year. Hey, back again if we make it. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:15:25 I forgot Brie. Remember, oh, do we talk it. Brie and Clint. I forgot Brie. Remembered. Oh, do we talk about this? Which one of your family members was it whose birthday we remembered while we were at the pub having lunch? And it was like 1 o'clock in the afternoon here and their birthday was like halfway through. Was it your mum or your brother?
Starting point is 00:15:41 I think it was my sister. Was it your sister? Yeah. Was it just your sister? Might have been my brother too. I feel like it might have been your brother? I think it was my sister. Was it your sister? Yeah. Was it just your sister? Might have been my brother too. I feel like it might have been your brother. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Why am I always getting tested on these things?
Starting point is 00:15:54 I want to test you. You've forgotten your wedding anniversary. Let's do a test. When's your wife's birthday? Oh, easy. She doesn't want me to give it out because it'll be associated with her passwords, but I know what it is.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Just don't ask me. Oh, that's a great answer. Okay, what's your first daughter Tui's birthday? Oh, again, that'll be the login to her Google account. Oh, you're such a liar. I'm not going to give out personal information willy-nilly. This is how fraud happens. This is how people scam you.
Starting point is 00:16:19 This is a good lesson. Also how you get out of your memory. You're going to ask me my credit card details next, Brie? No, I didn't come down on the last hour. At least give us those if you're not going to give us the birthday. We want to know the important date that you forgot. Kathy's called up. Hi, Kathy.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Hi, Kathy. What was it? What was the date that you forgot or got muddled up? Our wedding day. I'm notorious for doing these things. I don't know why I'm allowed to organise anything. Yeah. And I sent out the date for the 29th
Starting point is 00:16:49 and it was meant to be for the 28th and it took me probably about a month to realise and everyone had kind of organised the flights and everything. And a bunch of people had to cancel because they couldn't make it when I told them the real date and I had to email everyone.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah, it was really sad for me. You gave people the wrong date for your own wedding? Yes. Oh, Cathy, you poor thing. You should have just made it a full-blown three-day wedding, you know, and then you would have been safe. It was the best I could have. How did your partner react to that? I guess it's equally.
Starting point is 00:17:21 He wasn't even surprised. Like, I do this kind of stuff constantly, constantly. And he should know. He should be proofreading all of your emails before you send them, really, shouldn't he? Oh, he should be.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Even my friends weren't surprised. Like, I have a friend in Australia who didn't show up because of it. I was just... Yeah, it was really dumb on me. Yeah, right. What a disaster. Okay, do you...
Starting point is 00:17:41 Yeah. Okay, no, good, sweet. No worries. No harm. It's your wedding day. As long as you and him are there. We forget our wedding anniversary every year because of it as well. We try to celebrate it on the wrong day, so yeah. Oh, Cathy, you poor thing.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Thank you, Cathy. Claire's caught up. Hi, Claire. Hi, Claire. How's it going? What's the important date that you forgot? I forgot my best friend's wedding. I got the date mixed up by one day.
Starting point is 00:18:08 What do you mean? Did you not turn up to your best friend's wedding? No, like I thought for some reason I thought it was on the Saturday, but it was actually on the Friday. So we got as far as literally I was in full dress, full makeup, husband all dressed up nicely. We were just about getting in the car and then I was like, I looked on Facebook and I was like, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:18:24 I saw all the wedding photos. I looked on the, and I was like, oh, my God, I saw all the wedding photos. I looked on the calendar. Oh, that's devastating. I got it so wrong. Oh, that's like a nightmare. No. Because if you'd been a day early, you can recover from that, but a day late.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. Oh, Claire, what did your best friend say? She was actually really good about it. I just rang her up and said, look, I'm so sorry. I don't know how to explain this but I've got the date wrong. I guess if she expects it from you, then it's kind of
Starting point is 00:18:54 like, oh, classic Claire. She's always doing this kind of stuff. Yeah. Claire, were you like, hey, just wondering, because I obviously got the day wrong on the day late, I'm a day late, will you be doing another bouquet toss? Do I still need to contribute to the wishing well,
Starting point is 00:19:14 even though I didn't drink any of the free pass? Thanks, Claire. Thanks, Claire. We appreciate it. Someone said, I never forget my wedding anniversary. It's conveniently the day after my birthday. Yeah, me too. Okay. It doesn me too. Okay?
Starting point is 00:19:26 It doesn't help. It gets to a point where it doesn't help. When you start forgetting your own birthday, then how are you meant to remember the wedding anniversary as well? You know? Mate, it's getting bad when you can't remember your own birthday. I'm not a birthday guy. Like, I'm like, it's, yeah. Oh, so no gifts?
Starting point is 00:19:41 Um, well, we just got you a good gift, so I wouldn't mind something. Bree and Clint. Last night, All Black number 1056 became the first person to wear the black jersey and openly identify as gay. His name is Campbell Johnston. And have a listen to this. He opened up on 7 Sharp with Hillsbaz. Campbell, why have you decided to do this?
Starting point is 00:20:10 If I can be the first All Black that comes out as gay and take away the pressure, I guess, and the stigma surrounding that whole issue, then it can actually help other people. And then the public will know that there is one in amongst the All Blacks. Oof. It is big stuff, right, Bray? It is monumental.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I can't even comprehend just how big it is. Like in this country where that team is so monumental in this country's history. Yeah. And to be the first one, the courage that that has taken from him and like just how big of a deal it is in this country. It is huge. Let's try and quantify how big a deal it is. Here to tell us what it means and why it's important is another gay rugby player who
Starting point is 00:20:56 hasn't made the All Blacks just yet, but there's still time. He does play for the New Zealand Falcons. That's New Zealand's gay and inclusive rugby club. He's also one of the hosts of the Out the Gate podcast with Matty McLean. Welcome to the show, Brad Christensen. Hi, Brad. Good to talk to you. How are you both?
Starting point is 00:21:12 So you're a rugby player. You're a gay man. What does it mean for an All Black to stand up and say, hey, I am too? Yeah, I mean, absolutely. Like you both sort of said, it's pretty significant for rugby, but also in professional sports. I know we've had a few high profile sports people in New Zealand come out, but having openly gay All Black or ex-All Black, it's incredible for the sport. It's wild to me, Brad, that this is the first time that an All Black has come out. I mean, if you look at the stats, there's definitely more that...
Starting point is 00:21:50 Over the last 120 years, definitely. Yeah, exactly. There would have been so many more that would have had to make the decision, which is so horrible, to either live out their true self or to have a career as an All Black. What do you think this will mean for players who are looking to play for their country and play as an all-black that also might be gay in the future? Yeah, I guess I think the big thing for me is if we look across the rainbow and queer
Starting point is 00:22:18 and trans community, it gives individuals the confidence and motivation and the inspiration to actually say, well, this is who I am, this is who I love, and it shouldn't matter that they want to play sport of their choice. And I think even more so for rangatahi and our young people is to be able to look up to the likes of Campbell and go, man, if he can do it, I can do it, and I can get on the paddock. There's a pathway now, right? There's a precedent, so you don't have to go into it that fear of being the first one ever. He's taken that burden, and he's broken down that wall, right? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Huge, hugely courageous with Campbell. And it is a pathway. But again, we've got to sort of get out of that unconscious bias, right, to get people on board about, hey, sport is sport, people are people, let's just give it a go. He played three tests for New Zealand in 2005. I know you remember 2005. I do, clearly. It was a Lions tour.
Starting point is 00:23:24 How do you think New Zealand would have reacted if Campbell had just come out and said I'm gay at that time in 2005? Yeah I mean we've come a long way in terms of what society kind of recognises in terms of sexuality and identity and I guess in 2005 it probably
Starting point is 00:23:41 would have been quite hard and it would have been a headline probably even more been quite hard and it would have been a headline probably even more so back then. And I think there would have been a bit of slack. I think the rugby community and the community would have gone, what's this all about? But I think hopefully we're in a better place
Starting point is 00:23:58 as a society to be more open and effective. I hope so. It's a huge conversation and it is everywhere. Worldwide, worldwide media have picked this up. So Brad, just before you go, I wanted to ask you, I love so. It's a huge conversation and it is everywhere worldwide. Worldwide media have picked this up. So Brad, just before you go, I wanted to ask you, I love rugby, I know you love rugby. What do you think rugby needs to do to be a safe and inclusive place for everybody who wants to play that sport in the future?
Starting point is 00:24:18 Hey, I think since with grassroots provincial clubs, with the backing of NVR, who are just smashing the glass ceiling in terms of backing Campbell and his story. So I think at a community level, I think we've got to wrap around this kaupapa and get behind it more than anything to encourage Blangitahi and even old fellas like myself
Starting point is 00:24:43 who may be in the closet still to get out and throw the pill around. Absolutely. And I mean, a few glitter rugby balls every now and then wouldn't hurt, Brad. Oh, it wouldn't hurt. Like a rainbow ball or, you know, like a trans-coloured ball, that's what it's all about. And look, rugby, you play in all sorts of weather.
Starting point is 00:25:01 If you get out in the rain, obviously not at the moment in Auckland, but we're not made of icing sugar and we won't melt. Yeah. Shorter shorts, is that a thing as well, Brad, or are they short enough at the moment? I think they're short enough at the moment.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah, go, go, yeah, just checking. Yeah, all right. We'll keep it there for now. A lot of socks are short shorts. There we go. That's Brad Christensen. He plays for the New Zealand Falcons.
Starting point is 00:25:23 He's a gay rugby player. We're talking about New Zealand's very first gay all-black. Thanks, Brad. Hey, I don't know where this came from the other day, but sometime on the show in the last couple of shows, this came up where
Starting point is 00:25:37 we were talking about whether or not you can tell someone is wealthy based just on their voice. Yeah. It's a theory that we have not proven, but we really want to test. Because I think there's merit to it. I feel like there's such thing as rich people voice, don't you?
Starting point is 00:25:56 Yeah, it's called the rich accent. It's called the voice of affluence. Yeah. What do you think a rich, when you think of a rich person, what do you think they sound like? I don't know and I don't know how to quantify it. I just feel like it's a vibe, like you can kind of, there's
Starting point is 00:26:14 something tonally in there maybe they just sound different. They sound different to you and I and you're like, hey, what is that thing? What have you got that I don't have? Oh, money. I feel like, you no, because money doesn't always denote class, you know? Like, there's lots of rich bogans out there, and they're perfectly happy,
Starting point is 00:26:33 and they have no intention of changing, and nor should they. I do love a rich bogan. They wouldn't call themselves classy people. Yeah, cashed up bogans, baby. Yeah, I love a rich bogan. The Waikato's full of them, yeah. You know how you can tell if they're a rich bogan? SSV8 Commodore.
Starting point is 00:26:47 And they've got at least two jet skis. They've got that trailer that can tow the two jet skis side by side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the international symbol for rich bogan. Rich bogan, yeah. I think we put this to the test. It's a social experiment we're conducting here this afternoon on the show. This is how it's going to work, Clint.
Starting point is 00:27:04 People are going to call up whether you're rich or not, and you and I are going to chat to them a little bit, and then based just on their voice, we're going to guess if they're rich or not. Okay. What quantifies, like, what makes you rich? Oh, yeah, true. We need like a measure.
Starting point is 00:27:20 We need a metric. We need some kind of yardstick that if you fall over this, if you're above this line, then for the purposes of this experiment, you are rich. Yeah, you've got an ice machine in your fridge. Or you've got a pool table in the house. Oh, a pool table in the house. That screams rich.
Starting point is 00:27:43 No, let's go more generic. That can also scream rich, Bogan, too. in the house. That screams rich. No, let's go more generic. That can also scream rich, Bogan, too. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Let's go more generic, more like widespread. I think if you own a relatively new European vehicle, because if you're spending that kind of money on a car, then I think that would quantify you being rich.
Starting point is 00:28:07 How new? How new are we talking? I'm going to say 2017 and above. Okay, 2017 and above. And what if it's an entry-level European vehicle? Like, I don't know, like a nice, relatable Volkswagen or something like that. Like the car that you drive?
Starting point is 00:28:27 So Clint would be in the rich category. What if it's a Skoda? People will know and we want you to be honest. You guys will know if you are technically classified as rich, but that'll be kind of the gauge. Have you never lived without Sky TV even when you were a kid? Yeah, that's good. Even your flat when you were a student, you had Sky TV.
Starting point is 00:28:53 That's rich. We don't know where the line is, but you will know the line. And we need some people who are willing to play this test, this experiment with us. You'll be doing a national service because we need to figure out what does the rich Kiwi sound like. I picture like
Starting point is 00:29:09 the rich housewife to call through and they probably sound something like, oh hi, how are you? Is that what you pictured? Because I pictured Max Key calling through to plug his new single. Oh did you? See there's different, there's all kinds of variants in there
Starting point is 00:29:25 and that's what we're up against. So are you willing to play? You don't have to be rich to play this. No, anyone can call. I do love a social experiment and I'm keen to get into this one. Do rich people have an accent? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Like, could you tell someone was rich on the phone? Exactly, right? This is the perfect place to conduct this experiment because we can't see you. We can't see the type of clothes you're wearing. We can't see the kind of house you're sitting in. We can't see anything. All we have to go off is your voice, right, Brie?
Starting point is 00:29:55 Correct. I'm so keen to get into this. Look, we have copped a little bit of flack on the text machine saying that our gauge, our measurement for if someone's rich or not is a bit off. Okay. You suggested a European car newer than 2017 was how you tell if someone's rich. Yeah, and someone texted through and they
Starting point is 00:30:14 said, I own a Kia from 2018 and I paid cash. I own two properties and have a bunch of toys, but I'm definitely not rich. You are definitely rich. Are you doing alright? You own two properties and a brand new Kia. Sorry but I'm definitely not rich. You are definitely rich. Oh, you're doing all right. You own two properties and a brand new Kia. I'm going to, sorry, I'm going to have to.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I'm going to say rich. I'm definitely not rich. Someone else rang in and said, guys, the way you tell a rich person, because we're trying to figure out what the metric is. They said it's how much art they have in their house. Oh, that's so true. And it's not like a print of a piece of art. Like it's the actual art.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not off Etsy. You didn't get it off Etsy. It's real art. Anyway, back to the voice. You'll know if you're rich or not. You've called in to do this with us. So let's go first to Rahel.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Hi, Rahel. Hi, Rahel. How are you going? Before we even listen to your voice, Rahel, I have to say you have a rich-sounding voice, rich-sounding name. You have a rich-sounding... Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Rahel sounds like a wealthy name from a wealthy community. Thank you. It is, actually, yes. Okay, Rahel, we're going to ask you a few questions, not if you're rich or not, but just to hear you speak a little bit. Rahel, what is your... Rahel, what income tax bracket do you fall into?
Starting point is 00:31:29 This game's so easy, Clint. I don't know what people are talking about. Hey, Rahel, what's your coffee order when you're ordering a coffee? Oh, good question. Oh, okay. I'll always get usually a regular cappuccino with an extra shot and a vanilla in it as well. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Okay. Any questions for Rahel, Clint? Rahel, Rahel, Rahel, Rahel. Did you go away over Christmas? I did. I went away for a month to Australia. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Oh, Australia. I thought you were going to say. She went away for a month. That's kind of giving us a bit of info. Yeah, but she might have just been gone to stay with her cousins in Australia. Well, that's true. I'm going to go off the name, Brie. I'm going to say Rahel is rich.
Starting point is 00:32:11 You're going to lock in rich? Yeah, I'm going to lock in rich. I'm going to lock in working class GB. Rahel, are you rich? I wouldn't say I'm rich, no. You wouldn't say you're rich? No. That's the other thing is I don't know how you would gauge if someone's rich or not either.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Yeah. What sort of car do you drive? I drive a 2010 Nissan Tita. Oh, yeah. A nice, modest car. Rahel? My brother has a 2010 Tita. You are definitely not rich. Don't worry. We'll figure it out. Yeah, yeah. All good. Thanks, Rahel. We've figured that one out. Thanks, Rahel? My brother has a 2010 Tita. You are definitely not rich.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Don't worry. We're figuring it out. Yeah, yeah. All good. Thanks, Rahel. We've figured that one out. Thanks, Rahel. Let's go to Paige.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Hi, Paige. Hi, Paige. Before we do this, and don't give us the answer, do you know whether you're rich or not? Yeah. You do know. Okay, cool. Cool.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Okay, excellent. That's a good start. That is a good start. Paige, what would you say is one of your favourite hobbies? Netball. Okay. A bit of indoor netball or just outdoor netball? Either.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Either, okay. No, that doesn't tell you anything. That does not give away. No, it tells me heaps. Does it? It tells me heaps, yeah. Okay. Rahel, what part of the country do you live in?
Starting point is 00:33:22 Oh, not Rahel, sorry. Paige, what part of the country do you live in? Oh, not Rahel, sorry. Paige, what part of the country do you live in? The Waikato. Okay. She's not speaking very much. Have you noticed that? No, she's not going to... What would you like me to say?
Starting point is 00:33:34 Yeah, it's a question I answered. The Waikato. Okay. Ooh, okay. She's a bit sassy, which I like. I love that about you, Paige. Rahel, have you watched the latest season of Love Island? It's Paige.
Starting point is 00:33:46 It's not Rahel. Oh, Jesus Christ. Paige, have you watched the latest season of Love Island? No. No? Okay, not for Paige. What's the last movie that you watched? Celebrity Ghost Stories.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Okay, give us a short review of Celebrity Ghost Stories. Just celebrities that have had paranormal experiences by when they were younger. That just stays with them now. I mean, sounds like a good show. What are you thinking, Clint? I'm hooked. Paige, the
Starting point is 00:34:17 netball enthusiast from the Waikato. Nah, I think she's a person of the people. I'm going to say Paige, not Rich. I'm going to a person of the people. I'm going to say Paige, not rich. I'm going to say person of the people as well. Paige, we're saying not rich. Absolutely not rich. There we are.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yes, Paige, one of us. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Well, you're two from two. I'm one from two. We're going to finally go to Heather. Hi, Heather. Hi, how are you?
Starting point is 00:34:43 We're good, Heather. How are you? I'm okay. I'm sitting in the park in my car. Are you just, Heather? And what kind of car do you drive, Heather? A 2007 Toyota Corolla. Okay, don't let that throw you off, Bree.
Starting point is 00:34:58 She could be throwing us off the scent. Are you able to sit in a park in your car this afternoon, Heather, because you don't work? Because you don't need to work? No, I have finished work for the day. Okay. Okay, finished work for the day. Heather, what would you say is your favourite cuisine of food to eat?
Starting point is 00:35:19 Mediterranean. Rich. Oh, that's a rich style of food. I'm going to go with rich for Heather because I'm going to be really disappointed if we haven't managed to talk to one rich person. So I'm hoping that Heather is rich and I'm going to lock in rich. Bree, what are you going with? Let's lock it in.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Heather's rich. Heather, please reveal to us your financial status. Are you rich or not rich? Oh, bro, I wish I was rich. Oh, so do we, Heather. So do we. So do we. Right, well we learned nothing from that.
Starting point is 00:35:50 It's hard with the bloody sample size. They're all people of the people. Maybe we don't have any rich listeners. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Here we go. Birthday banger. Here we go. Birthday banger time. This is where you guys call us up. Tell us your birthdays. We figure out what was the number one song on your 16ths. And then we play our favourite one out in full. Let's start with Tamara. Kia ora, Tamara.

Starting point is 00:37:02 Not bad. Not bad. Not bad at all. I tell you what's not bad, just to be pervy old dad for a second, the music video to that song, do you remember it Brie? Oh how could I forget? Jeez, she's in good nick in that music video, wow! She is, she was at like her peak physical fitness. Yeah, okay wait there Tamara. That's a good one. I think we've lost Jacob. We're going to try and get Jacob back, but let's go to Caitlin. Kia ora, Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Hi, guys. How's it going? How are you? Good, thanks. How are you? Good, thanks. Whereabouts in the country are you, Caitlin? I'm in Dunedin, and it's beautiful, nice and hot. Oh, jealous.
Starting point is 00:37:43 So jealous. Okay. I just saw a friend's Instagram story who's in Wanaka at the moment. God, the South Island looks like they're having a great summer. It really looks good down there. Has it been good, Caitlin? Oh, it's been beautiful. Honestly, it's the place to be.
Starting point is 00:37:58 I bet you've got a nice tan, don't you, Caitlin? I sure do. And it's not a place for once, but that's great. Damn you, Caitlin. All right, well, let's do your birthday, Banger. What's your birthday, mate? The 4th of February, 2000. All right, that means you were 16 in 2016.

Starting point is 00:38:34 Yeah, good one. It's your birthday this weekend as well, isn't it, Caitlin? What are you going to do? Um, probably just hang out in the sun. It's meant to be 30 degrees. Oh, okay, all right, cut it out. Cut it out. Okay, Caitlin, you know, we'd spoken for a while, and we 30 degrees. Okay, alright, cut it out. Cut it out. We took it for a while and we were
Starting point is 00:38:47 humble, but you know, come on. Might not actually wish Caitlin a happy birthday now. Let's go to Jacob. Hi, Jacob. G'day, Jacob. Hello, how are you guys? Good, thanks, Jacob. Whereabouts in the country are you? I actually got through. Yeah, well done. Oh, nice work, mate.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Nice work. Well, let's do your birthday, Banger. You're here now. What's your birthday? 22nd of June, 2000. Alright, that means you were 16 also in 2016, the same as Caitlin. But on your 16th birthday, this was number one. I need a one dance.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Got an NSE in my hand. One more time for I go. High up I was taken. Drake in one dance. I love it. What do you reckon, Jacob? Oh, it's a good song. I should have played it on my birthday.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah, it's a banger, man. You got a good birthday banger. Big song from Drake, that one. Okay, wait there. Jonas Blue, Drake. I feel like there's only one classic in there, though, and that's the Jerry Halliwell song, right? Oh, mate, you got to do it. And it's very fitting. It's though, and that's the Jerry Halliwell song, right? Oh, mate, you've got to do it.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And it's very fitting. It's topical. It's very topical at the moment, right? Very topical. Hey, Tamara, congratulations. You've just won Birthday Banger. Yay, you made my day. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Very good. Yes, queen. Thanks for calling through. Call back any time. Brianne Clint. Brianne Clint. The latest season of Love Island UK is in full swing again, six nights a week, Clint, and some of us are watching.
Starting point is 00:40:22 And I noticed one of the bombshells that came in the other night, his name's Spencer, and he was talking about what he does for work, and the ladies were discussing his job. He owns a vibrator. Oh, God. It's weird for a man to own a vibrator company over a woman. It's a good icebreaker, you know, as far as the estate goes. You go, what's your job?
Starting point is 00:40:49 And someone's like, I'm an accountant. And you go, cool, nothing wrong with that, but I have no questions to ask about that job. Someone tells you they own a vibrator company. Multiple questions. You're going to feel something, right? Absolutely. Do you give out discounts to your dates?
Starting point is 00:41:06 We want to know the weird job your date has told you they have. We've asked that. We've got some great texts. First of all, though, we have had a vibrator salesperson contact us. They want to remain anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Hello.
Starting point is 00:41:20 You're a lady vibrator salesperson. I am. Okay. Yes, okay. Well, I can wrap my head around that a little bit more. Anonymous, a question for you. When you go on dates or are you in a relationship, is it an interesting conversation when you tell them what you do for work?
Starting point is 00:41:37 Yeah, so I actually have a fiancé, and I started it after I had met him, but kind of helped it speak through it. Like, I was, like, embarrassed, and I was like, so I'm actually doing this now, and he's like, okay, cool. That brings more fun in. Yeah, right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Nothing to be embarrassed about Anonymous at all. Okay. How is the vibrator business, by the way, booming? Nah, it's actually really good. It quietens down a lot through, like, obviously Christmas. Yeah, right. actually really good. It quietens down a lot through like obviously Christmas. Yeah, right. Really? Yeah, so I'm with a company and we do like home parties. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Like a Tupperware but for adult toys. Exactly. Exactly the same. You can also put them in the dishwasher. Yeah, just like Tupperware. Yeah, okay. Thank you, Anonymous. We want to know what their unusual job was when you went on a date. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, just like Tupperware. Okay, thank you Anonymous. We want to know what their unusual job was when you went on a date.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Hi Anonymous. Hi Anonymous. Oh, is that me? That's you, yeah, yeah. So I have the unusual job. Okay, right. What is it? I'm a funeral director and an embalmer. So you deal
Starting point is 00:42:43 with, you literally deal with dead people? Dead people. Right. Interesting. Wait, so you're the funeral director? Yes. Okay. How does that go down on dates
Starting point is 00:42:55 or when you're introducing yourself to new people? It was even more awkward when I lived above a funeral home. Right, so you're like, not only am I, that's my job, would you like to come back and spend the night at my work where the dead bodies are? Pretty much, but some goth chicks got off on it. Oh, my God. Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Hey, Anonymous, we've got a text. What did he say? I couldn't hear it. Don't worry. I'll tell you later. You can't repeat? I couldn't hear it. Don't worry. I'll tell you later. You can't repeat it? Can't repeat it. Okay, let's move on.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Someone texts her and they said, I had a date with a guy that used to work in a cemetery and said sometimes, he said to me, sometimes he used to sleep there and connect with the spirits. Yeah. After that, I was gone, jumped out of the toilet window. See, there's that. It's a red flag. Red flag.
Starting point is 00:43:50 That's not a red flag. That's a dead flag. Someone, this is such a great message. Someone texted and said, my father had a blocked ear and asked my new boyfriend at dinner what he did for a job. My boyfriend said, I service gaming machines. Unfortunately, my dad heard I service gaming machines. Unfortunately, my dad heard, I service gaming. Very quiet was dad until the boyfriend went to the loo and then dad turned to me and said, what the if? That's so good.
Starting point is 00:44:19 This is another funeral director one. Someone said, I went out with a funeral director who would get call-outs in the middle of the night or during a sleepover and had to put a suit on and go collect the body. It was very dark. We were 18 at the time and his number plate was DOA, standing for Dead on Arrival.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Yeah. Needless to say, it didn't last long. We are getting so many messages from people who have gone on dates with people in the funeral industry. Yeah, a lot of people, eh? Well, you don't meet people like that all the time, and it would be quite a confronting thing at first. It's obviously an important job,
Starting point is 00:44:59 but you just don't hear about it all the time. Someone said, my first date was with a sexy, tall, dark, good-looking guy. Problem for me was he was an undertaker. He picked me up in his black station wagon. Not the hearse. Not the hearse. Not the hearse.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I keep thinking that there was a coffin in the back. Oh, it was the hearse. No, you don't pick your date up in the hearse. Yeah, right. I'm just going to, this text is totally not related to the topic, but someone texted her and they said, my cousin is a nurse and she used to do smears for ladies and one time a lady came in and a small Lego man fell out of her food.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Okay, all right. Yeah, okay, got it, got it, got it. Yeah, we're good. All right. Thanks very much. Love Island is streaming somewhere sometime. The Lego Man. Was it the whole thing?
Starting point is 00:45:51 Back afterwards. Who was it? Hey, guys, this is going to help a lot of people if you struggle to get to sleep. Well, maybe not struggle to get to sleep, but if you're one of those people that always wakes up feeling tired, I'm one of those people. This blew my mind and I haven't tested it, so let's just workshop it right now.
Starting point is 00:46:12 This is more unconfirmed science from Brie Thomas-El. Well, I think there is quite a lot of science behind it. There's a lot of articles and different people who have kind of put this together. This is like when you brought us that story like what is most attractive and it turned out to be oral hygiene and it turned out you were bringing us information from like a toothbrush company. You're like, this is real science, guys, oral hygiene. Still could have been true.
Starting point is 00:46:36 You never know. I think it's pretty important. Okay. Have you ever heard of a term called your sleep window? No, no. Essentially the idea around this theory is that if you want to wake up at a certain time, then you should be going to sleep at certain times. And that doesn't mean like if you want to wake up
Starting point is 00:46:59 at 6am, you have to be in bed by 8.30. It means that if you want to wake up at 6am, you have to be in bed by 8.30. You know, it means that if you want to wake up at 6am, you've got either, you've got a couple of times where it is the best time to go to sleep. Okay. Where essentially the way it works, because I've looked into it, is that they say that we kind of sleep in these 90 minute cycles. And if you wake up at certain times like not at the end of one of those then you wake up feeling tired right yes i have heard of that and the cycles that you go through because we
Starting point is 00:47:32 use this with with our kids like with my daughter who naps because little kids sleep cycles are way shorter they're like 45 minutes and you know the difference if if they wake up inside one of those 45 minute ones versus the end because that's the difference between they wake up inside one of those 45-minute ones versus the end because that's the difference between waking up smiling or waking up screaming. So it definitely works. Yeah. It's the same concept but for us adults, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:55 So let's go through it. So let's say you want to wake up at 7.30 in the morning. Okay. Right? Yeah. So I'm going to put it. There's a website you can go to. It's real simple.
Starting point is 00:48:07 It's called sleepcalculator.com. And so I'm just putting in the time, 7.30 is the time I want to wake up. So it's calculating what time would be the best to go to bed. And it gives you a few suggested bedtimes. So if you want to wake up at 7.30 in the morning feeling refreshed, it says 10.15 is a great time to go to bed okay but it says if you miss going to sleep at 1015 1145 is your next window right the problem the problem with that is if you miss your window and you are tired but you don't want to wake up
Starting point is 00:48:41 feeling tired you didn't have to stay awake for another hour and a half. Yeah, I know, but this is what I'm saying, Clint. They're saying if you can keep yourself awake and then go to sleep at that time, you're going to wake up not feeling tired. Yeah, right. Okay. But then they also give you other times as well. So then they go on to say if you miss 11.45,
Starting point is 00:49:01 so 10.15, 11.45 are the best times, right? Yeah, yeah. But then they say if you miss 11.45, so 10.15, 11.45 are the best times, right? Yeah, yeah. But then they say if you miss 11.45, you then have to wait till 1.15. Yeah. And if you miss that, it's 2.45. 2.45, okay, yeah. And if you miss that, it's 4.15. And then if you miss that, it's 5.45.
Starting point is 00:49:20 I'm going to call BS that if you go to sleep at 5.45, there's no way you'll wake up feeling refreshed at 7.30. You're good to go. Oh, box of fluffies. I might hit out on a marathon today. Sounds good. I feel great. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:49:36 If you were watching the Australian Open men's final a couple of nights ago, you would have seen that Novak Djjokovic uh the serbian took out his 22nd grand grand slam title to equal uh rafael nadal's record he's also won 22 grand slams um and did you know that was novak djokovic's uh 10th time winning the aussie open is that yes i was hoping that tennis sound effect had a bit more winning the Aussie Open. Is it? Yes. It's a ride, isn't it? I was hoping that tennis sound effect had a bit more to it, a bit more, you know. Ten times. He might have won it 11 times if he had bothered
Starting point is 00:50:14 to get vaccinated last year and been able to play. Well, that is true. He wasn't able to play in last year's Aussie Open. He got deported, if you remember that story. But he's a wild... Very controversial. It's all kind of blown over now. But it was one of the biggest news stories in the world at the time. He was locked in a hotel room. Oh, it was huge news. And essentially people were like, why does he get special treatment? And he didn't
Starting point is 00:50:39 because they deported him. He got special treatment, alright. He got a special escort out of the country. Exactly right. Hey, here's a fun fact for you. He won the Aussie Open for the first time back in 2008, and he won $1.37 million back in 2008. Okay, that's a lot of money, especially for 2008. Yeah, so 15 years later um this time around for 2020 through 2023 winning the aussie open he takes home 2.9 million dollars jeez that's a lot of money they've really upped for inflation
Starting point is 00:51:16 haven't they for the prize money do tennis players have to fund their own career and by that because he'll have a team it'll be a small team but he'll have a team that travels with him. Do they have to buy their own flights, accommodation, transport to games like that? Is it all funded out of his own pocket? It's a great question because obviously these big Grand Slams and other events, they want the big names at the events. So I'm not sure about that. Obviously he'd have to pay his coach and his team of people, but at the event. So I'm not sure about that. Obviously he'd have to pay his coach. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:47 And his team of people. But I'm not too sure about the flights and accommodation and all that kind of stuff. But I thought we could go through because people are saying, not my words, but he is one of the greatest tennis players of all time now winning 22 Grand Slams. Undoubtedly, yeah. Undoubtedly.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Have you ever thought to yourself i wonder what that means in terms of how much prize money he's won yes i always whenever i look at anybody famous the first thing i think is how much money do they have so please tell me how much money has novak djokovic won over his tennis career right novak djokic, over his long career, has picked up a whopping $257 million. A quarter of a billion dollars from playing tennis. You heard, correct. You heard, correct. Over how long?
Starting point is 00:52:38 Well, I mean, he won his first Aussie Open in 2008, so 15. He doesn't even look that rich I look at Rafael Nadal and I look at Roger Federer those guys look rich. I don't know what it is it might be the Nike tick, it might be something, I don't know what it is it might be just unconscious bias
Starting point is 00:52:57 but I look at those guys and I'm like damn those guys look rich. Yeah wild hey I think they're the same vibe from Novak but the guy's stacked. I also looked into how much Rafa and Roger have won because I was like, I want to know in comparison because Rafael Nadal's also won 22 Grand Slams. And Roger, I think, has won 20. So, Rafael Nadal has won – what is the U.S.? Well, this is in US now,
Starting point is 00:53:26 should have done that research, US $134 million. Not bad, yeah. And Roger Federer, $130 million. Yeah, wow. Did you look at Serena Williams? No. I might Google that now. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Have a quick look. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is Serena Williams prize money? Has she retired? Did she retire? I don't think anyone really knows yet. I think it's still kind of up in the air. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Okay, you got it? Okay, here we go. Career prize money, Serena Williams, 94.8 million. That is not fair. That is just not fair. I mean, it's a lot of money. Oh, yeah, yeah, she's doing okay. I wouldn't be upset.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't be upset. She's won 23 Grand Slams, if anyone was wondering. Brian Clint, that's your tennis update for the day. We're back next. Brian Clint. That is the tennis update for the day. We're back next. Brian Clint. That is the end of the show, everybody. So the British Treasure Island is back tonight.
Starting point is 00:54:30 That first episode was really good. I enjoyed that. I really liked the new dynamic of the fans versus faves situation. It's changed it up a lot. And I love Lance Savali. He is so good on that show. He's so bloody charismatic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:44 The cojones it takes to ask one of the other team members for an alliance, like during a challenge, I'm like, mate, this is brilliant stuff. The guy has BDE. I have a friend who interviewed him for the season of Treasure Island. Yeah. And she said that she left the interview and she wasn't sure whether she was carrying his child or not. She felt like she could have become pregnant just through pure, raw sexual magnetism.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Oh, mate. He's got just so much charisma. When you meet the bloke, you're just kind of like, oh, you've got the X factor. Hence why he is a dancer for all the big stars. Yeah. Well, he's back on your screens tonight. When does the first person get eliminated? Tonight. Tonight.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Someone goes home tonight. Yeah, and pretty much from here on out, I think there might be only one other night where no one goes home, but pretty much every episode now there is an elimination. It is hot fire getting rid of people from here on out. Well, let's hope our friend Matty McLean can make it further than the first week on this season of Treasure Island. It means so much to him. It would be so good if he could at least survive the first three episodes.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Oh, absolutely. You've got to back in Matty McLean to go further than the Barbara Kendall season for sure. 7.30, TV2 or TVNZ Plus. You can stream it all there. Have a great night, everybody. We'll catch you back tomorrow. Bye.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Bye. Bye.
