It's all good, we're chill. What if the apocalypse happens and the cell towers go down? You know what?
Starting point is 00:00:47 And all you can rely on is solar power. You'll have all our podcasts downloaded, ready to go. I literally was fucking thinking about this last weekend. Because you watched The Last of Us. Not last weekend, the weekend before. So, no, it was, well, maybe, yeah, because it was fresh in my brain. So, my partner and I went away to an off the grid cabin so it's like solar power there's like um power but you can like charge your phone take a gun no what why didn't take
Starting point is 00:01:15 a gun because last don't own a gun no but so the night before we were packing up and, you know, organising ourselves and what we needed to take. And we were talking about, because obviously there's no TV, and I know that's not the point of the cabin. No. But my partner and I, we love to watch a movie before bed and it's quite cute, like especially, you know, and you've got the stars and it's nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Anyway, so I was like, jeez, have I got my old hard drive that's got you know all you know when we used to obviously movies no but you know back in the day there was a period of time where everyone would kind of share around their hard drives with a bunch of movies on it and you'd all give each other whatever you had no one really downloads movies anymore but i have a folder on my computer yeah right yeah and so i was frantically trying to find this hard drive and i eventually found it and realized that it wasn't working anymore and then she had to like go through the attic and find her hard drive and it made me think i'm like shit if the world goes to shit yeah and the internet goes down yeah you're gonna want that hard drive yeah're going to want that hard drive. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:26 You're going to want that hard drive real bad because, I mean, you can charge a laptop and you can get solar or a generator to charge things, but in terms of movies, how are you going to watch anything? That's why I'm not throwing my CDs away. Yeah. Or your DVDs. Or my DVDs.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Well, no, I throw my DVDs away. Or you download it onto your phone so then you don't need the internet. That. Or your DVD. Or my DVDs. Or you download it onto your phone so then you don't need the internet. That's not reliable though. Because we won't have power. No, you will have power. If the servers at Netflix go down, is that still going to work?
Starting point is 00:02:57 Is the app still going to open? No. No, I'm not talking about that. I was talking more about music but you're right. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably nothing will work. Yeah, best to have, I think, just you're right. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, probably nothing will work. Yeah, best to have, I think, just go vinyl. Vinyl, you reckon? Yeah, just bring out the vinyl. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I'm going to go straight to my parents' house and take all the vinyl. I'm thinking about getting a CD player. Yeah, honestly, I support that. Are we in that era already? Yeah, I think it's finally come around. Because they're cheaper than vinyls. You know what they had? And they're cool. And they're manual. It's finally come around. Because they're cheaper than vinyls. You know what they had? And they're cool.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And they're manual. It's all about manual. It's all about the selection process of going to the shelf, selecting something you want to listen to, and then listening to an album in full. Yeah, I regret actually getting into vinyls because now I'm like, I should have done CDs. Yeah, they are eminent and they're expensive.
Starting point is 00:03:41 You know what they had at the off-the-grid cabin? A cassette player. Oh, I'm so on board. You know the CDs? I automatically go to that. You know the cassettes they had? What? Cher's Greatest Hits.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Brilliant. And Two Non-Blondes. Did they build this cabin just for you? I feel like they did. Whitney Houston? Anywhere? Well, they did it because the toilet was a long drop. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Oh, I hate those. If they were building it for me, they would have put a bidet in. Yeah. Full flushing toilet. Nothing wrong with a long drop. Do you know what? I don't. So long as you use the sawdust. Yeah, this was a nice one, actually.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I refuse to sit on it. I will actually get on my feet and I will pop a squat. Why? Why? Because I don't like it. I don't like feeling the wind on it i will actually get on like my feet and i will pop a squat why like i hop on why hop on to the side because i don't i don't like it i don't like feeling the wind in my bum oh see i quite like it i hate it i quite like that you know have you ever noticed if you've been to like you know an actual long drop so like one at like a national park or yeah where they've obviously had to dig a fucking massive hole. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Have you noticed that they always smell similar? They smell a little bit chemically, don't they? Yeah. Like any long drop you go to, they always smell kind of similar. Remember that story? They're always like, we're returning it to nature, we're returning it to nature. Then someone from Duck comes and throws a whole bucket
Starting point is 00:05:01 of disinfectant on it. Yeah. Remember that story about that guy that fell down the long drop? No. No. Yeah. Stop. Wait, let me Google it.
Starting point is 00:05:09 How do we come back onto the poos? Guy falls down long drop. It's the most ranked story. That's the worst kind of hole to get stuck in. Like, chuck me down a well before you chuck me down a long drop. Here we go. Tramp are rescued after down a long drop. Here we go. Tramp are rescued after falling into long drop toilet.
Starting point is 00:05:30 I think I've passed out. How long was he in there? When answering a call of nature, she dropped. Oh, hold on. Wait. So a woman. A 40-year-old woman in the U.S. suffered a horrible fate fate when she answered a call of nature. She dropped her cell phone down the vault toilet, as they're called in the US, which is a long drop.
Starting point is 00:05:52 She then took apart the seat and used a dog lead to try and fish it out. When that failed, she used the lead to support her weight as she tried reaching down to grab the phone herself. Unfortunately, the lead snapped and she fell head first into the waste she could at least use the device to call for help and the firefighters had to rescue her oh god i don't think it ever recover. So my question is for you guys. How many showers? How many showers? How much body wash?
Starting point is 00:06:32 You would just say to the fire... Because I don't want to trick that into my house either. So you would say to the firefighters, hose me down. This is disgusting, guys. Hose me down. Hose me down. Put me in that decontamination thing you put.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Just think of the diseases you'd get. Even when I've touched, like I've got poo on my hand. Stop. Like there's been times we've all had poo on our hand. Yeah. But it's always yours or someone you're responsible for. Oh, shit, no, not mine. Oh, no, there would have been a time.
Starting point is 00:06:59 But mainly I'm thinking about like a dog poo, like you're picking up poo, whatever. I wash my hands so many times. Imagine. It's like back on steroids. about like a dog poo like you're picking up yeah whatever i wash my hand so many times imagine it's like back on steroids please can we no there you go can we just go can you imagine that woman because obviously she'd be like can you can you not report this story in the news um just go down as nothing anyway i'm in the market i'm in the market for a really just going down as nothing. Anyway, I'm in the market for a really nice
Starting point is 00:07:25 wall-mounted CD player. One more poo story. No! One more poo story. No, Bree! I heard the funniest story the other day. So there's this woman
Starting point is 00:07:33 in Australia, so our Aussie podcast listeners will know who it is, Julia Morris. And I saw this, she's a comedian and she hosts that show I'm a Celebrity,
Starting point is 00:07:42 Get Me Out of Here. Yeah. And I saw this video she posted and it was a piece of her stand-up where she talked about comedian and she hosts that show i'm a celebrity get me out of here yeah and i saw this video she posted and it was a piece of her stand-up where she talked about how the last season because there's a new season on now but the last season that they filmed apparently there's 470 people that make that show it's a crew of four but this is what she said and they share get this those 470 people because they all are out in the bush as well yeah out in the jungle in south africa or wherever they
Starting point is 00:08:13 are and they share seven portaloos no way this is what she said anyway she said she'd been asking 80 people to a portalo is what yeah well I'm pretty sure that's what she said. And then she pretty much was like, you know, every year they ask us if there's anything, you know, that we can do, you know, whatever. And she said she'd been requesting her own personal toilet for seasons and seasons. That's all she wanted was her own loo.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Way to make people hate you. I know, right? But then you can also use it as currency. Be like – You can use the special toilet. You can use the special toilet. Anyway, she said on this season she finally got what she wanted and it was this toilet for herself and it was in her little cabin where it was
Starting point is 00:08:59 and the guy has come around and he goes, this is your toilet. He goes, don't use it because we're going to hook it up this afternoon. But once the water is running, that means it's hooked up and ready to go. Anyway, so the next morning she's noticed that the toilet's got water through it and she's like, oh, they've hooked it up. Great. So she's went to the toilet a couple of times and anyway got herself ready
Starting point is 00:09:23 and then kind of walked down the road to go catch this bus with everyone else so they were going off to to the set yeah anyway she said she got down to this road and she's kind of looked down and all she could see was a couple of her no No. Poos. No. Out on the road. They hadn't hooked up the toilet yet. And the toilet, the hose was running off to the road. Oh. And the poos have gone off to the road. And she goes, she's noticed. And then apparently the executive producer's walking up the thing.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And she goes, oh, don't. She was like trying to do a dance and be like, don't look over there. And he's like, Julie, we've already seen it. It's your poos. We saw them coming out in real time. No, that's what he said. He goes, I saw them coming out. Oh, mortifying.
Starting point is 00:10:19 That is embarrassing. That's disgusting. It is like that. When we filmed Treasure Island Did you get your own toilet? God no There's like probably 80 of us And we've got probably 3 or 4 portaloos maybe
Starting point is 00:10:34 Grim So it's better than 300 and something to 7 I've got my own toilet at my house now Do ya? I've been relegated to the boys bathroom have you yeah because my wife and then two daughters yeah and they're like oh boys wait so they send me off to my own where's your toilet uh on the other side of the house oh oh
Starting point is 00:10:59 but it's kind of good for you because then you don't have to worry yeah it's the best it's literally the best thing ever they They think it's a punishment. I'm like, yeah, boy. I can drop bombs in here whenever I want. It's my chamber of secrets. Oh, yuck. Enjoy the podcast. Have a good time.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Sorry for all the poo chat. Flushy poos. See you tomorrow. Bye. I'm coming in. Well, howdy, Pilgrims. Good, everybody. Happy Monday.
Starting point is 00:11:34 It's Bree and Clint. Happy Monday of a short week, everyone. Oh, baby. Oh, yeah. Leading into a short week. Leading into another short week. I know. It couldn't get better. Well, it could. Is the following into a short week. Leading into another short week. I know it couldn't get better. Well, it could.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Is the following week a short week? Anzac Day is soon after. Either way, this is a four-day week. Next day is a four-day week. And then I'm pretty sure there's another short week in April as well. Thanks to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Chocolate. You have to go to church to get the four-day weekend. Do you?
Starting point is 00:12:08 Yeah. Is that the deal? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to go on Friday and Sunday. Both? Yeah, because Easter. Yeah. So, see you there.
Starting point is 00:12:16 I remember growing up, because you and I both grew up Catholic. Yeah. I remember growing up, you would always, if you had to pick one to skip, like Christmas or Easter, it would be Easter because the Easter service goes for hours. Oh, yeah. And they bring in that big bowl of fire and it just goes for a long time. Brie and I are both very casual Catholics and so we'd go to the Christmas one and that was better because you could roll into it from town, like Midnight Mass, go out with
Starting point is 00:12:43 all your friends on Christmas Eve and then roll into Midnight Mass with your family with a heavy, heavy layer of booze under. And then just have some of the wine at the communion. And then you top up with the wine and nibble on a bit of wafer. Yeah. Nothing more unsatisfying than the body of Christ. Can I just say that? As far as a filling snack goes.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Well, if it's stale. I mean, spiritually, I was very fulfilled. Yeah. If he's listening. But in terms of sustenance, not much. Not spiritual sustenance. That's why I would drink double the wine. Yeah, yeah.

So conscious wearing those in the city sometimes. Yeah, I didn't want to tell you, but you look like a bit of a knob. Anyway, not about me. You may have seen this on Instagram doing the rounds. It's the husband calling competition that they hold each year at the Iowa State Fair.
Starting point is 00:18:22 See, I haven't seen this, but it sounds very interesting. So the idea is, I guess it seen this, but it sounds very interesting. So the idea is, I guess it's from a time before cell phones. Okay. But if you had to go out into the field and call your husband in for dinner, for... Lunch. Lunch, for... Afternoon tea. Yeah, rumpy-pumpy, whatever you want to get him in for, you're going to have to use a
Starting point is 00:18:42 pitch and frequency that he is going to not only hear, but recognise as his. It's kind of like calling the cows. Same concept. Yeah, or the cats. Or the cats, yeah. Calling the cats in for dinner. So we've got some of the finalists here.
Starting point is 00:18:55 This lady came in fifth at the husband calling competition. Bob, Bob, Bob! Hurry up! I don't want to be late! Bob, hurry, hurry! Bob! don't want to be late. Bob, hurry, hurry. Bob, Robert, King. This lady came in fourth. King, King.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Yoo-hoo. Cuckoo, cuckoo. Boxes. Doesn't sound like that would go very far, that one. Is her husband an animal? Because it sounds like she's calling an animal. We're into the medals. This is the third place husband caller.
Starting point is 00:19:33 That's solid. You're going to recognise that too and go, that's Deidre. That's my wife. 100%. The silver medal went to this lady. Daryl! God, that was like a belly scream.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I think just for pure penetration. Yep, that was good. But the greatest husband caller in the land, her name is Bonnie Swellwert Erlitt, and this is the winning husband call. Roar! Can you hear me? You get yourself in here right now come on you know you're gonna be late again and you know that i want to get there on time oh geez i would be running she looks 120 years old
Starting point is 00:20:19 and that was solid she's the winner yeah she deserved it. I thought this afternoon we could get your mum on, who also lives rurally and also has a husband that regularly needs wrangling. You know, it's quite interesting, Clint, because I heard this so often growing up because we didn't have cell phones. The amount of times I heard my mum walk out onto the veranda and call my dad to come back to the house. But let's see if she's still got it. So please welcome to the Brianne Clint Husband Calling Competition,
Starting point is 00:20:53 Mama Di. G'day, Mum. Hi, guys. How are you going? Yeah, we're good. I feel like, you know, you're finally going to get to show your true talents on the show. They're high-pitched ones, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:21:08 Aren't they? Up until now, it's only immediate members of the Thomasale family that have heard your husband calling prowess, but now we're going to broadcast it. Be careful because you may have a lot of husbands show up at your door after this. We're broadcasting this far and wide. We can't be blamed for what the impact of your husband calling does. She does live within, you know, multiple different farms.
Starting point is 00:21:32 So you don't know who's going to turn up on the doorstep, Mum. I might be lucky. I might get a few extra. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Geez, Mum. Guess who's coming to dinner? Six farming men. Jeez, Mum. Guess who's coming to dinner? Six farming men.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Oh, God. Okay, when you're ready, Mum and Di, please show us the way you call Big Stephen from the field. Okay. Okay. Stephen! Come on in! Steve!
Starting point is 00:22:03 Stephen! Stephen! Come on in. Dave. David. Oh, my God. That is exactly. That's exactly how I remember it. The bit where you caught him like a pig. Sweet. David! The echo is just ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:22:37 That was worse than the call. Oh, jeez. That's so much better. That's so much better than I expected. Mum, I think you should... Let's get her to Iowa. I'll pay for the flight. Someone call Grab a Seat.
Starting point is 00:22:51 We've got to get her over to Iowa. Honestly, get rid of your phone plan. You don't need it, Mum. Wow. I'd kill them, you know that? Yeah, wouldn't I? What was that? I'd kill them, I reckon, because they're too high.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Yeah. They need something a bit lower. Jeez, that was good, Mum. That is Bree's mum, professional husband caller, Mumadai. That was unreal. Jeez. Thanks, Di. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:23:19 We're on the hunt for New Zealand's biggest feet. That's right. We're looking for two titles this afternoon, the female with the largest feet and the male with the largest feet. After a woman has just been crowned the world's biggest female feet, coming in at size 18. That's whopper. I've just Googled biggest men. It's a guy called Jason Orlando Rodriguez Hernandez.
Starting point is 00:23:45 He's 26. He's from Venezuela. And he has size 26 feet. You just buy a couple of canoes at that point. Yeah. You buy a couple of canoes. You strap them on and away you go. Or just glad wrap them up.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Whatever it's going to take by that stage. Put a couple of suitcases on your feet. You'd really look after your shoes, eh? Because it would be impossible to get more. It would be so hard. Okay, let's go shoe hunting and see what we can find. There's still some room on the phones, by the way, if you think you've got bigger ones.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Delaney is here. Hi, Delaney. Hi, Delaney. Hiya. Tell us, do you think it's you that has the biggest feet? I think I'm definitely up there. Okay, can we get a couple of stats, key stats? Can we get age and height first?
Starting point is 00:24:28 Yeah, I'm 23, 6 foot 2. 23, 6 foot 2. You're the same height as me. Okay. And Delaney, tell us, how big are those tootsies? 13 men. Whee! That's solid because that's like a,
Starting point is 00:24:42 what would you say in women's Delaney that would be? Well, they don't make them past 13 in women. And I grew out of that when I was 12. Such a good point. That's such BS they don't. I'm a 12, 13. You and me are the exact same proportions in height and foot. I think that'd be like a size 15 women's.
Starting point is 00:25:01 We could run a shared wardrobe, Delaney, if you're interested. We could save some money here. Yeah, no, sounds good. I pretty much only wear Vans and Converse. I'm literally wearing Converse right now. Oh, true. That means it doesn't matter because they're all the same. They're all the same.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah, exactly. All right, well, you're in the lead for women's feet so far. That's decent. Let's talk to Megan. Hi, Megan. Hi, Megan. Hiya. Now, you want to enter your son for the biggest feat.

Yeah, and he's still got to wear school uniform shoes, so that makes it even rougher because they don't make kids' school uniform shoes in a size 16? Yeah, and he's still got to wear school uniform shoes, so that makes it even rougher because they don't make kids' school uniform shoes in a size 16. No, so what does he wear to school? Does he have a special dispensation to wear giant Crocs or something like that? Yeah, or he can talk to the dean and say, hey, can you just wear some men's dress shoes?
Starting point is 00:25:58 And they're quite fine with that. Megan, do you have to order in bulk to feed that kid? Absolutely. Yeah. Where did he get it from? Have you got big feet? Does his dad have big feet? No, I'm a size 11 female.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Okay. Oh, yeah. And my husband's not got the biggest feet. But, yeah, my side of the family, we're quite tall. Megan, how tall is your 15-year-old son at this point? Yeah, he's 6'1", still growing. Yeah, okay. Possibly 6'1", still growing. Yeah, okay. Possibly 6'2", but yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:26 He's going to be a big boy. Do you and your son pick on your husband because he's got tiny little feet? Yeah, well, we started handing down shoes to him and he's the other way around. Megan, maybe you should start steering your son in the career path of a clown. Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Because then he gets free big shoes. Yeah. You know? Yeah, we ordered some basketball shoes sun in the career path of a clown. Because then he gets free big shoes. We ordered some basketball shoes and they came in the mail. They had to come all the way from Paris and they were the size of like three shoe boxes. Three shoe boxes big. And we're like, what is in this thing?
Starting point is 00:27:01 It's massive. Well, if you ever in between houses, you can just live in the shoe. Ashley's here. We've found our biggest men's foot so far, and he's only 15 years old. But, Ash, you want to put your brother forward for this? Yeah. He was, like, exactly the same as that last person.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Oh, good. So this is what Megan's son might have to look forward to. But how old is he now? He's a 20 now. He's 6 foot 2 and he's 35. So he's done. Did you say he's a size 20? Yeah, and like
Starting point is 00:27:35 think about back in the day when he was 15. Literally there were no options. I remember he had like three pairs of shoes his whole like teenage years. So wait, can we back up the truck? Is he 20 years old or does he have a size 24? 19 to 20. 19 to 20.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Ashley, how tall is he? Six foot two. Jeez, that's a bit out of proportion, isn't it? He's a bit big, but that's all right. Can I ask what sort of difficulties he faces? Like, is it hard for him to drive a normal car or ride a bike? When he was little, she used to have to buy him, like, size two everything when he was, like, six months old.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Yeah. Like, he's always been big. Yeah. Always. And I can fit both my feet in his shoe. I'm a 10 woman. Wow. In proportion.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Imagine when you're, like, because you know when you measure stuff and you go foot to foot? Oh, yeah, this is a teen woman. Wow. Imagine when you're like, because you know when you measure stuff and you go foot to foot? Imagine. Way out of proportion. It's like, this house is three feet long. There's a UK driver training facility and they've gone public
Starting point is 00:28:40 with what they think is the best age to learn to drive. And it's not 17, which is the best age to learn to drive. And it's not 17, which is the licence age of the UK, or 16, which is the licence age here in New Zealand. It's neither of those. Yeah, New Zealand's, we've got quite a young age here to start to drive, isn't it, compared to some of the countries?
Starting point is 00:28:59 What's it in Australia? It's 16 as well. 16, yeah. Same, yeah. Well, it used to be 15 here. Yeah, I think it used to be 15 in Australia too. Yeah, I wonder why they put it up. I can think of a few reasons.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Well, according to this, according to this, maybe they should put it down. Really? Is that what they're saying? Okay. The claim is, by this driving facility,
Starting point is 00:29:19 they teach young drivers how to drive. This is their job. They're not making the number up. They believe the ideal age to learn to drive 12. 12? 12. They said that 12 is the age where young minds are most likely
Starting point is 00:29:33 to absorb valuable driving skills and do their most effective learning. They're saying learn to drive. They're not saying be able to get their licence. Is that a difference? Like to be on the they're saying learn to drive. They're not saying be able to get their licence. No. Is that a difference?
Starting point is 00:29:47 Like to be on the road driving, learning to drive and having a licence quite different. But you know the saying, use it or lose it. What's the point in learning to drive at 12 and then not doing any driving? I mean, it's a good point. Look, I will speak for the rural community because I grew up on a farm and I'll be honest, I learned how to drive when I was eight.
Starting point is 00:30:09 What, dad home from the pub? No. No, never had to do that. I know that country stuff works. Most country kids will probably say the same thing. My dad bought us a car. It was a Toyota Corolla 63 model, maybe a bit older than that, actually, a bit newer than that.
Starting point is 00:30:29 And he bought us this car for Christmas. I would have been probably nine at the time. And on Christmas Day, we just tore around the farm. We just threw you the keys. Yeah, just doing donuts. Merry Christmas. Handbrake turns into the orchard. It was a good time.
Starting point is 00:30:43 My brother was seven and couldn't see over the dashboard, but we just popped him up on some bricks. Okay, so a few questions. One as a townie and two as a parent. Yeah. Were there any rules put in place? Wear your seatbelt. Obviously, that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Any safety protocols to stop you from running your brother over? Did you all have to be in the car? Yeah, you weren't allowed to drive the car at pace at anyone. No, no, I imagine. No, no, that sort of goes without saying. Yeah, that was a rule. Your dad's like, a few rules. One, don't jump your brother.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Two, if you want to jump Bree, make sure the ramp's high enough. And then you also, one of the rules was on the dirt road where our grumpy neighbour lived, you had to do a landlock. It's where you lock the brakes up fully and it fully smokes all the way up the road. Yeah, that was another rule. All right, well, there you go. See, I don't know what they say.
Starting point is 00:31:37 I think country kids, I think we grow up, you know, learn good life lessons. Well-rounded members of the community. Absolutely. Anyway, 12-year-olds, grab the keys. Let's go. Bree and Clint. What are the lies you've told on a date?
Starting point is 00:31:52 Or maybe you've caught someone else out in a lie. Yeah. And maybe you never intended it to go as far as it has gone. You just wanted to break the ice or get their attention or make them like you. But now, three years later, you own a home and you have a baby on the way. And they still think that you work at a research laboratory. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Trying to… Cure cancer. Yeah. Look, I'm going to put myself out on the line because we're asking for your stories. I have done this before. Went out on a date with a guy. He was real attractive, really lovely, funny, everything I wanted. And he started talking about how much of a passion surfing was for him.
Starting point is 00:32:35 And I said, I am an avid surfer. I love surfing. It was during winter and I thought, I mean, I'm never going to have to prove it. No. And it turns out we dated for a fair while. And eventually the time came where he asked me to go surfing and I had to come clean and it was very awkward. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:59 How did that go down? It wasn't great. Were you tempted to just go out there and give it a bash and be like, oh, well, what's the worst that could happen? I was tempted. But he was such a good surfer that that is exactly like legit probably what would have
Starting point is 00:33:14 happened. I tried to pass chicks with a fake Irish accent one New Year's, but we've been over this and we're not going back there. We're going to go to Sam instead. Hi, Sam. Hi, Sam. G'day, guys. How are we? Good, thank you, Sam. Tell us, my friend, was it you or someone that you went out on a date with that told a lie? It was me. Okay. So, I met
Starting point is 00:33:36 this guy on Tinder and we'd been chatting for about a week or so. Time came and we met at his house. Very risky. Yeah, that is a risky first date. But yeah, okay, sure. If only he knew where he lived too, that would have made this story so much worse. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:57 So I took two bottles of wine with me. Damn, you went on a mission. Yeah. You all in on this date by the sounds of it, Sam? Quite in on it. I'd finished a bottle of wine and I said I could go home now or I could open the second bottle. And stay the night? And he said, open that bottle, girl.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Okay. Cool. We're going well. We're going well. My reply was, you're in for a treat tonight. Oh, my God. I'm on the edge of my seat here, Sam. Wait, what is happening, Sam?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Yeah. Well, I mean, two bottles of wine, you're in for a treat tonight. Oh, my God. I'm on the edge of my seat. Wait, what is happening, Sam? Yeah. Well, I mean, two bottles of wine. You're in for a treat tonight. Yeah. I proceeded to fall asleep. We're now married and he still asked me literally like three days ago. He was like, what was that treat? You're like, it was a Viennetta.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I brought it over. So Sam, so we're clear, the lie was that he was in for a treat. Yeah. I knew myself, I knew that after two bottles of wine, there was no treats going down. I was straight. Oh no, no, no, no. I don't know anybody who could offer up the treats after two bottles of wine.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Not in a home setting. We'd be a messy treat. We'd be, you know, I'd be eating cake with your hands, you know. It wouldn't be good. Apparently, that was the night he fell in love because I snored and farted at the same time. Oh, I love this love story. This is the weirdest.
Starting point is 00:35:19 No, I love it, Sam. That's very cute. I hope that every anniversary, you two sit down to two bottles of wine. I hope that's a tradition in your relationship, Sam. That's very cute. I hope that every anniversary you two sit down to two bottles of wine. I hope that's a tradition in your relationship, Sam. Oh, my God. Let's start that. Let's start that.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Why not? And then you can lie to him again and be like, babe, you're in for a treat tonight. That's a good way to never have to put the treat down. I'm going to fart for you all night. There's so many great texts coming through on this. Someone said, I told my date I was colourblind to sound more interesting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Random. Okay. Someone else said, oh, my God, listen to this. My boyfriend of two years thinks my name is James, but it's not. No, that's a lie. Two years. Surely not. Two years.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Really? And then someone else said, I have the same name as a gay porn star in America and I let a Grindr date think it was me. I think he's going to find out. That's brilliant. Bic's here. Bic, you were lied to on a date. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:36:19 No, I lied. Oh, you lied. Oh, you lied. Tell us what you did, Bic. So I was at the pub and a guy came up and chatted and told me he was a helicopter pilot. Okay. I, of course, thought he was lying and spinning me a yarn. And so I told him that I designed Shrewsbury's biscuits for a living.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And that the heart design was what I came up with. What the hell, Bec? That's such a niche lie. You told him he was talking to the inventor of the heart-shaped shoesberry. Yeah, yeah. And he bought it. He thought I was... Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:36:56 He didn't believe there was a job for that. And I was like, of course there is. How else did they come up with it? I love that he was perfectly willing to believe that you designed shoesberry biscuits, but you refused to believe something perfectly plausible that he could fly a helicopter. Until he, I said, in the end, I said,
Starting point is 00:37:17 if you're telling the truth, then you need to take me for a fly. And he showed up the next day and flew me around the city. Okay. And then I had to come clean and tell him that no, I don't and I can't give him free biscuits. And how did that go down? What did he say?
Starting point is 00:37:33 He just felt like a real dick because he had actually believed me. He's like, I came good on my part of the deal and now where's my bloody biscuits? He found it a little bit funny once he got over the shock. And I think once he realised. Did the relationship last? Because I want to know, can a relationship built on a lie go the distance? Please tell us, are you and Helicopter Man to this day in 2023 still together?
Starting point is 00:37:58 No. Oh. No, not at all. But are you now inventing any more biscuits? Oh, that's top secret. Oh, see. Bree and Clint. Time for the later.
Starting point is 00:38:10 From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. It's a fairly heavy story, this one, but Chris Hemsworth has announced that he's pulling back from some of his acting work for health reasons, Dean. He is. Hi, guys. Yeah, when it was revealed that he was at high from some of his acting work for health reasons, Dean. He is. Hi, guys. Yeah, when it was revealed that he was at high risk of Alzheimer's, he said, quote,
Starting point is 00:38:31 it has triggered something in me, and he's decided to kind of pull back, slow down his career. Still, I mean, he's still working on four movies right now, and as Page Six said, he will be completing those, but he will not be taking on many more roles and certainly not in the speed that he currently does. They fly those movies out, those two Hemsworth boys.
Starting point is 00:38:52 So he will obviously do the upcoming Avengers sequel. He is in the biopic of wrestler Hulk Hogan, which will be phenomenal. But he said, look, I just want to spend more time with my children and family in Australia and all that kind of thing. So yeah, the game plan is to pull back the reins a little. I did not know he was playing Hulk Hogan.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Oh, yeah. That is a fantastic bit of casting. He will look exactly like a young Hulk Hogan. Yeah. Once they put all this fake tan on him. Slap a big moustache on him. Yeah. The Alzheimer's thing is really scary.
Starting point is 00:39:22 And that was revealed in his documentary, his National Geographic series that he made. He did some tests, and it said he's at something like, what did they say? Like a very high risk of developing Alzheimer later in life. Unbelievably high risk. It's kind of, I guess the only thing I can kind of put it next to is when women go and get the test to see if they've got the breast cancer gene. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:44 And you can have the preemptive mistake. Yeah, like you don't have breast cancer but you have the gene which makes you incredibly more likely to get it. Isn't it cruel, right? Life is cruel like that. You can't think of a healthier person than Chris Hemsworth. He'd be so healthy.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Like everything about that man is geared towards health and yet he still has a diagnosis like that. Yeah, it's a scary thought. And obviously like Bruce Willis is going through, you know, that battle as we speak. Dean, were you in the running to play Hulk Hogan? You're more Rey Mysterio. He's shorter, Dean.
Starting point is 00:40:23 I'm more Pamela Anderson. Carmen Electra Bree and Clint That's the latest Out of Hollywood With our correspondent Dean McCarthy Here we go Birthday banger time

They weren't married for very long, right? No, they got divorced in 2010. Oh my God. I know. And fourth one on the way. It's really making me rethink stunts.

Starting point is 00:48:54 Congratulations. Go, gals. Thank you. All good. Tia, can you concentrate, please, and stop concentrating on your child? Just joking, Tia. I mean, okay. Can we talk about cocaine for a second?
Starting point is 00:49:11 Pablo. Cocaine. Pablo Escobar. Did you know that Coca-Cola, the beverage company, produces as much as $3 billion of pure cocaine every year and then sells it to dentists. How is this a thing? I've always had those stories from back in the day where they're like,
Starting point is 00:49:36 you know when they first invented Coke? Cocaine? No, Coca-Cola. They called it that because it was cocaine? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. Which is partly true. They didn't call it because of the cocaine. They called it Coca-Cola
Starting point is 00:49:48 because the flavour in Coca-Cola is achieved using coca leaves in South America. That's why it's black. And coca leaves are how you make cocaine. Wait, what? Yeah. Coca leaves
Starting point is 00:50:04 are how you produce cocaine How do you know that? Because I've been to South America And you went to buy some on the cheap No, but they tell you to suck on coca leaves put them under your tongue to help you with altitude sickness like if you're going up to Machu Picchu or something
Starting point is 00:50:19 or you can have coca tea in South America as well which is brewed with the coca leaves or you can refine it all the way back and produce pure cocaine. Wild. So Coca-Cola still relies on coca leaves to make the flavour of Coca-Cola. Oh, my God, there's so much coke involved in this story. It's tricky. Coca-Cola needs coca leaves to make coca-cola and then they have figured out how
Starting point is 00:50:47 to decocanize the stuff they make from the coca leaves take the cocaine out of it and just keep the ingredient that goes into coca-cola so let me be very clear so what happens to all the offcuts there's no cocaine in coca-cola okay let's be very, very clear about that. The cocaine by-product that they take out is pure. It's pure cocaine. And that is then sold in America to the largest opioid manufacturer in the country who then sells it as a numbing agent or topical anesthetic to dentists around the country. You're kidding. Isn't that?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Wait, dentists use cocaine? Yeah. Remember when I told you last year when I had my nose operation, when I had my septoplasty, that they use cocaine in the back of your nose to numb the area as well? Surgeons use a cocaine paste. Even here in New Zealand, they use a cocaine paste. And in New Zealand They use a cocaine paste And that's why you were there for a nose surgery in the first place
Starting point is 00:51:48 $3 billion of pure cocaine every year That's wild Manufactured by the Coca-Cola company This was wild to me too And I've checked and checked and checked To check that this wasn't an April Fool's story Are you sure? Published in the New Zealand Herald on April the 2nd.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Yeah, but I mean, the Herald have sometimes been had on April Fool's too, haven't they? We've all been there. Well, I hope not because I've just got an entire story. Oh my God. Coca-Cola company producers. Either way, the main thing to establish here, no cocaine in Coca-Cola. That. Either way, the main thing to establish here, no cocaine in Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 00:52:27 That is the main thing. But maybe time to go and visit the dentist. We're asking for your stories on narky neighbours. Maybe you were the narky neighbour. I think it's fine to be a narky neighbour if the situation calls for it. Some neighbours need to be narked on. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:52:44 We're not judging here because I feel like, you know. Do you have reasons to believe there is a meth lab operating in the house next to you? You should nark. You should nark. You should nark on them. If you feel that they have too much fun on the weekend between the hours of, I don't know, midday and 9pm,
Starting point is 00:53:03 suck it up, buttercup. I feel like that story was aimed at me. There's some amazing text coming through on this. So many people with stories. What about this one? Our old neighbour used to play his bass so loud it would shake our house. We talked to him about it, had the local cop talk to him as well, but neither option worked.
Starting point is 00:53:25 So every time after that, we just called noise control every time. They took his stereo. We eventually moved houses to get away. Yeah. Yeah. You can only use the things at your disposal, right? Yeah. Noise control's a good one,
Starting point is 00:53:37 and they've obviously used that as a last resort. Well, they tried. Yeah, they tried. They tried. They tried other options. Didn't work. Yeah, yeah. Let's talk to some people with nosy neighbours, gnarky neighbours, or maybe they
Starting point is 00:53:50 are the gnarky neighbours. Josh is here. Hi. G'day, Josh. G'day. Which one is it for you? Are you the gnark or did you get gnarked on? No, I got the most gnarkiest neighbour in the world. What happened, Josh? Oh, like, all the time, like, just for parking on our front lawn, he'll What happened, Josh?
Starting point is 00:54:16 That's so annoying. Do you actually get a ticket for parking on the boom? I've always wondered this. Yeah. Yeah. Like, yeah, like, while the road is... And I look down the road and I see, like, so many cars parked on their front lawn and we're the only ones that get... Yeah, cos no-one else's neighbour called the council on them.
Starting point is 00:54:38 That sucks, man. They would be the type of person that would have a friend at the council that they'd call up and they'd go, like, mate, can you get down here yeah definitely yeah that's so annoying get a dog and get the dog to do a poo on their doorstep or something
Starting point is 00:54:52 yeah that's what we do have a big dog give that dog some give that dog a big dinner and see you in the morning I reckon Josh some of these texts are so horrible what about this one? Our nasty neighbour at the beach used to think she could tell my kids
Starting point is 00:55:08 they couldn't play cricket on our front lawn. When the ball went into the dunes, she would sit on the deck and not let them get it back. Even had to call Coast Care the next day to get the ball back. What a grinch. That's so grinchy. Just give the kids the ball. The kids. Come on. Hayley's here. Hi Hayley. Hi Hayley. Hi guys. Naki Neighbours, tell us
Starting point is 00:55:32 about it. Well I was the, we were the beach family and the kids loved to play their cricket on our front lawn and we had lovely Helen next door and she had other plans for the kids. Lovely Helen. Hayley, why do you We had lovely Helen next door and she had other plans for the kids. Lovely Helen. Hayley, why do you think she was so grumpy? I don't know, but I think the kids, once they got wind of her grumpiness, they kind of wanted to play cricket all day, every day. Want to piss her off.
Starting point is 00:55:58 It does make you want to do that. Which I bet you encouraged. Absolutely. I'd like to see you supposed to tell the kids they can't play cricket on your property? Passive-aggressive revenge, isn't it, Hayley? Yeah, exactly. It's the best type.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Oh, sorry, Hayley, you know. You're at the beach too. Like, you should be in a good mood. I want to read out this one more and we'll go to the last call. My neighbour used to constantly have her kids running up and down the shared driveway Then complained to the council that my dogs are barking all the time You can't have your cake and eat it too
Starting point is 00:56:32 Read the lockdown one The lockdown one's so good The lockdown one We had a neighbour complain about us throwing a big party during lockdown When in actual fact it was just us four flatmates having an aggressive game of Pictionary. I love the idea of you explaining that to the cop when he comes around. Wasn't lockdown open season for Naki Neighbours? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Because they thought they were doing the Lord's work. They're like, I'm stopping COVID. By dopping you in, I'm stopping COVID. I've got to call the police. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:57:19 Fair enough. And we had a thousand acre farm, and we had a water supply, and, you know, you're always getting water leaks and this guy had a lovely big veggie patch one of the
Starting point is 00:57:29 two acre blocks around us and we figured out that he was taking it so, uh, we kept unplugging it you know,
Starting point is 00:57:36 telling him, you know, you can pay for the water that's all good, no issues um, but he wouldn't do it he said,
Starting point is 00:57:41 I'm entitled to this water it's on my, comes past my land sort of thing so after about 20 times of this carry on we just stuck a half litre around up down the tube but he wouldn't do it. He said, I'm entitled to this water. It's on my, comes past my land sort of thing. So after about 20 times of this carry-on, we just stuck a half litre around up down the tube and wiped out his garden. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Oh, my God, Anonymous. Anonymous? Like, look, I mean, how good did you feel? Oh, yeah, you know, it sorted him out. It really slowed his gardening operation down. Did he say anything to you? Yeah, kind of, but I said, oh, it wasn't us. I don't know what the hell's going on.
Starting point is 00:58:13 You don't know anything about it. No, you don't know anything about it. How is he going to prove it, you know? Oh, that'll teach him. Don't get mad, get even. Don't know if that's legal, but I enjoyed the story.
