For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market.
It acts like a form of play.
Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.
Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head,
and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her.
This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

G'day everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint Show.
Good afternoon guys, great to be here for your Monday full week this week, don't we?
Bullcrap, you're taking Thursday off and I'm taking Friday off.
I'm saying for other people.
Oh, yeah, yeah, we've got to sympathise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, God.
Oh, rough one.
Rough one.
Yeah, long week ahead.
Was last week not a full week?
I think it was.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Most weeks are.
When is the next public holiday? When's the next long weekend? That's what I want to know. I will get Claudia to Google it was. Yeah, it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Most weeks are. When is the next public holiday?
When's the next long weekend?
That's what I want to know.
I'm going to get Claudia to Google it now.
I want to put my money on Easter.
I want to put my money on the King's birthday.
Isn't that June?
No, as in like a standalone long weekend.
Yeah.
Isn't that King's?
Oh, what?
You're saying Easter doesn't count.
Oh, because Easter.
Oh, I'm thinking because, yeah, Easter does count,
but then you've got that...
Easter's double.
Then you take the three days off in between Anzac Day
and you get 10 days off.
Claudia, what's our next public holiday?
Yeah, well done.
You figured it out.
Easter and then Anzac.
Yeah, yeah.
It's because, guys, it's Ash Wednesday this Wednesday.
Is it?
Yeah.
Is that when you start Lent?
Correct.
You can tell he's got a Catholic upbringing in this room.
Both of us.
What are you giving up for Lent?
I'm going to give up rent.
I was going to give up work.
Give up rent for Lent.
Let's get into the show.
Hey, that's enough Catholicism for this hour.
Let's get into the show, shall we? I've got plenty more though if you want it.
We've got two guesses at the secret sound coming up,
four o'clock and five o'clock,
and we're going to start the show with Tradie vs. Lady,
where the ladies cannot be stopped.
Yeah, they're on a bloody roll.
Can you stop them today?
0800 DIALZM.
You could win yourself 50 bucks cash.
Bree and Clint.
Time for Tradie vs. Lady.
It's Tradie vs. Lady. It's Tradie vs. Lady.
Three, two, one, let's go.
All righty, the score, if you were away last week,
it's going to be a bit of a shock to your system.
The ladies are 18 on the board.
The ladies are on fire at the moment.
Let's go to the Waikato
where our 38-year-old lady is standing by.
She has a three-year-old and an eight-year-old child.
Welcome to the show, Roxanne.
Give me the tickets.
Hi.
How are you, mate?
I'm good, thank you.
How are you guys?
Yes, very good.
Roxanne, thank you.
Great to have you here.
How many times do you reckon in your life has someone sung that to you?
Oh, honestly, just hundreds.
Hundreds and hundreds.
Hundreds and hundreds.
Yeah.
Make it hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and one today.
You're taking on our tradie from Christchurch.
He's 36, so the ages, very similar, should be competitive.
He once snapped his ankle in a rugby tournament in Amsterdam.
Welcome to the show, Tim.
Hi, Tim.
Hey, how's it going?
Did you ever fully recover from an injury like that?
Yeah, it took a while.
The joint still messed up, but yeah, I got back to 50% running in two years,
so still have a bit of issues with arthritis. Yeah, I got back to 50% running in two years, so still have a bit of issues with arthritis.
Yeah, I'll bet.
I can think of some good herbal pain relief available in Amsterdam, though, Tim.
Mate, I'm telling you, it's amazing, that place.
Better than the Green Whistle, Tim.
Obviously, I'm talking about Heineken.
Tim, your buzzer is tradie.
Roxanne, yours is lady.
First of three correct answers gets $50 cash.
Good luck.
Here we go.
Question number one.
What time is 2,100 hours in normal time slash 12-hour time?
Yes, Tim.
2,100 is 9 p.m.
Well done.
Well done, Tim.
You're on the board.
And I'll remind you, you don't have to wait for me to finish the question.
Sometimes it's a good idea, but other times you can risk it.
Question number two.
Which boxer famously bit off part of his opponent's ear during a fight?
What did you think?
Yeah, it was Tim.
It was definitely Tim, and that is the right answer.
Please wait to give the answer until we...
Like, if it's controversial like that, but I'll give it.
We'll give it.
Yeah.
Mike Tyson, it was two to the tradies.
You need this one, Roxanne, to stay in it.
Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this.
Guys!
Pretty big band.
Chris Martin's the lead singer.
This is right in the mid-30-year-old's pocket.
It's Coldplay, guys. It was Coldplay.
All right, no points there.
We still have them, don't we?
Roxanne, you still there?
Yeah, I'm still here.
Tim, you still there?
Yeah, still here. Okay, are you still there? Yeah, still here.
Okay, sweet. Just not Coldplay fans.
Neither of you know that Coldplay song? No.
Okay, good to know.
Maybe we're off the pulse. Question number
four. Who wrote the Goosebumps
series? Was it Linley Dodd?
Lady. Yes, Roxanne.
R.L. Stine. Well done.
Well done, Roxanne.
Didn't even need the full multi-choice.
You're on the board with one.
Two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
Question number five.
What colour jerseys do the New Zealand women's rugby team wear?
Tradie.
Tradie.
Tim.
Tim.
Black.
Black's correct.
Well done.
And that's the win. Tim. Tim. Black. Black's correct. Well done. And that's the win.
Trady victory.
Hey, thanks, guys.
That was a hotly contested game and a much-needed win for the Tradies, Tim.
Congratulations.
Cheers.
Thanks very much.
We'll get that 50 bucks out to you.
Tim, I feel like you really wanted that.
I feel like that was...
I felt the urgency from you, Tim.
I've got my eight-year-old in the back telling me I had to win.
Yeah, well, then you had to win, Tim.
He pushed you on.
Well done, mate.
We'll get that money out to you ASAP.
11 to the tradies, 18 to the ladies.
Bree and Clint.
About a week ago, we had a conversation on this show
about how fast did they say, I love you.
And we had a call from someone who wanted to remain anonymous, who said they were about to say a really fast, I love you.
Have a listen to this.
It's going to be me next weekend and it's going to be early.
We started talking on the 1st of February and next weekend is going to be the 28th.
And we've only met each other for two dates so far.
What?
And you're going to L-bomb her.
Yeah, I am.
I am so invested.
Can you please call us back next week?
I need an update as to how it goes.
If you heard that, we did not forget
and we need the update and it may have gone well
because they're willing to use their real name.
Please welcome back
to the show, Ian. Hi, Ian.
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, welcome back. We're on the edge
of our seats. So
28th of February was
Friday just gone and that's
exactly one month
since you started dating this person who you
were planning to say I love you to, right?
That's correct.
Okay, so four weeks.
You're planning to drop the big L-bomb.
First of all, did the date go ahead?
Did the date go ahead?
You went on the date.
I did.
It was a sleepover date, wasn't it?
It was.
It was planned to be one anyway.
That's right.
I remember you saying that now.
Oh, here it is.
Did we just rip the band-aid off?
Yeah, I think we ripped the band-aid off.
Ian, Ian, did you say it and did they say it back?
Yes and yes.
Oh!
It was a little bit tentative, though.
Was there any hesitation from them
or were they straight in with,
I love you too, I love you back?
She was quite shocked,
which felt like it took forever to pass.
Okay.
But she did that back straight away.
Do you, okay, I don't, okay, okay.
I don't want to overthink this with you.
Do you think she felt it?
Do you think it was a bit much for her?
Or she said it to avoid awkwardness.
And did you actually, more importantly,
did you need her to say it back
or did you just need to get it off your chest?
No, I didn't need her to say it back. did you just need to get it off your chest? No, I didn't need her to say it back.
I was always going to do it no matter what.
Yeah, because you felt it.
Yeah, I had a feeling she did as well, and that's why she said it back.
From memory, you'd only had two dates when we talked to you.
Was this like the third date?
Yes, it was.
That's very early, Ian.
And how have things gone after that?
Like, are you both kind of like...
Yeah, how's the rest of the weekend?
Yeah.
Yeah, so we celebrated saying I love you nine times over the weekend.
Have you catched my drift?
Oh!
I'm catching all the drifts, Ian.
Oh!
Yep, I'm catching the drifts.
Okay.
So, yeah, nine times.
For both of you or for you or for her?
Both of us, of course.
Okay.
Nine times over how many days?
Friday night and Saturday night.
Oh, blimey.
That's a busy bloody night for you both, isn't it?
Oh.
Busy.
It was.
So then after that that I asked her if
I should go take it a bit further
and do an
online, on-air proposal.
What?
Okay. Yeah. And?
And she said I
would 100% agree
to being your
fiancé, but she wanted it to
be a bit more special than on air.
On a radio show?
Yeah, yeah.
I've got that answer now already.
So are you suggesting that you would like to use this?
None of this is set up, by the way.
This is all real.
Like bullshit set up stuff.
Our producer is out in the booth right now,
struggling to breathe.
Here's a question.
Here's a question. Here's a question.
If for some reason or somehow, because we're a radio station
and we might have contacts where we can work these things out,
if we could somehow get you a deal on a ring or get you an engagement ring,
would you come into the studio and propose live on the radio?
Oh, that's a
good question. I would be
definitely open to it.
We'd have to talk further on that outside
of this little break we've got.
Would she be open to it is the
question? Well, I'd ask her as well
of course. I mean, presumptive of us
to think that you meant our radio
show. You do want to propose on our show, eh?
Yeah, of course. Okay, radio show. You do want to propose on our show, eh? Yeah, of course.
Okay, phew.
I thought you might be using us
to get to Tony Street on the breeze or something.
I think on coast.
I bet she's got contacts.
So the next thing you might want an update on
is whether we're having a boy or a girl, I guess.
No, Ian.
Ian.
Ian.
Are you being full serious
or are you getting a little bit ahead of yourself, you reckon?
Full serious.
Is she pregnant?
Well, we don't know yet.
We can't take the test for a few more days.
Oh, you mean, oh, sorry.
You mean after your nine I love you's over the weekend, you're assuming she's...
Yes.
Correct.
Ian, I mean, it's a good chance.
I mean, he's put these...
Well, you've done the money.
The odds have multiplied, that's for sure.
How old are you, can I
ask Ian? 44.
44, and how... And he is 35.
Okay. Where do you live?
New Zealand.
Okay, fair enough. Oh my god.
Hey, Ian, your sister has just
text through. Of course she
has. She said... Do you want to hear what she said?
I do indeed.
She said, hi team. to hear what she said? I do indeed. She said, hi team.
As his sister, this is fully legit.
So great to see him smiling after so long.
There we go.
Wow.
All right.
Well, you have been very generous with us.
Thank you so much for updating us.
We would love to.
Probably a few too many details, Ian, but, you know, we'll take it.
We would love to help you with the proposal.
So you're right, let's take this chat off air
and see if we can organise something about a proposal.
How does that sound, Ian?
Sounds fantastic to me.
We love love, Ian.
Nine times.
As do I.
Yep.
The NRL season kicked off over the weekend
Second year in a row they've kicked off the season in Vegas
I want to go so bad
God, it looks fun
I've just been following Brodie Kane and Laura McGoldrick
Just anyone that's gone over there that we know
Which is a lot of our friends
It looks so much fun
Looks incredibly fun
Like the rugby league is almost the least exciting
part of the whole trip. Yeah. Everything
else around it. I mean the rugby league did
look very cool as well. Like to watch
rugby league in a stadium
like that. Yeah. Like once in a
lifetime stuff. Yeah. Stadium
looks awesome. How many days do you reckon you could
handle in Las Vegas these days?
I reckon I've got three nights
in me. I don't even know if I've got days. I reckon I've got three nights in me.
I don't even know if I've got three.
I reckon I could go back to back.
Two nights.
Like two nights.
And then use the third night as a recovery.
They need to airlift me out.
They need to get me out of there.
Well, they do.
They airlift you back to New Zealand afterwards.
That's what I mean. That's the good thing about the trip.
They need to take me home before I do more damage.
Let's not talk about the Warriors opener. Let's not talk about their opening thing about the trip. I need to take me home before I do more damage. Let's not talk about the Warriors opener.
Let's not talk about their opening game to the season.
I've already forgotten about it.
We just breezed past it.
Yeah, just don't worry about it.
Don't even need to mention it.
Because it's in America, it actually doesn't count.
Doesn't count.
Yeah, yeah.
You know?
It's like different time zones.
It's a different atmosphere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is what it is.
It's like if your partner cheats on you in a different area code.
Doesn't count.
No, I think that still counts. Oh. Yeah. in a different area code. It doesn't count. No, I think that still counts.
Oh.
Yeah.
But because it's Vegas, it doesn't count because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Oh, that's right.
That's the one I was looking for.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that loss stays in Vegas for the Warriors.
It's ring-fenced.
Literally.
There was another game on.
They showcased some of the women's rugby league over in Vegas as well.
And they had the Aussies, the Aussie women playing the English women.
So the Jilleroos versus the Lionesses.
And the Australian women, when I say they gave the English team a spanking,
like they walloped them.
Yeah.
Like, I don't think I've seen such an enormous point score in a rugby league game ever.
And an international test match as well.
It was...
This is not a club game.
This is you representing your country.
We've got a little bit of the commentary of how many tries
the Aussie women scored against the English.
Take a listen.
Belarus' historic venture in Las Vegas has been a major hit
with Australia scoring a 90-4 point victory over the England Lionesses.
Fullback Tameka Upton crossing for five of the Jiliru's 17 tries
in the smashing win.
17 tries.
I've done a little calculation.
It was a cricket score.
17 tries in 80 minutes is one try every 4.7 minutes.
We shouldn't laugh.
It's not funny.
It's serious, isn't it?
At some point, you've got to go.
It's like a mercy thing.
Do you call it?
Yeah.
Stop.
He's dead.
Like at 60 points, do they say, all right, let's wrap this up, guys.
We don't want anyone to get embarrassed.
They did that in a Sonny Bill Williams boxing fight once.
Yeah, because probably someone would have died.
No, no, no.
He was starting to lose and they needed him to win.
So it was a 12-round fight.
Yeah.
And then after the 10th round they went, oh, no, it's just a 10-round fight.
And they just stopped it early.
So that's what they could have done in this game.
They could have gone, oh, no, no, this is just a 60-minute game.
Yeah, it's a 60-minute.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which is, you know, a 60 minute game Yeah, it's a 60 minute Yeah, yeah It's a showcase match
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What a thumping
Look, I'm not going to get all high and mighty
My first 15 team once, when I was at high school
We were losing by 97 points
Yes
What's the point?
What's the point?
So we started a fight
So it would take up more time
so the other team couldn't get to 100 points.
I mean, not a bad tactic.
Our theory became, okay, guys, whatever we do, just don't lose by 100.
Because that will be embarrassing.
Because that would be really embarrassing.
Anything before that, we're good.
We're good to go.
I thought we could ask people on 0800DIALSATM,
when was the time your team got an absolute pasting?
The team you're playing for, you guys on that day were an embarrassment to your sport. You got belted.
We don't want to hear from the people who are on the other side.
We don't want to hear from the winners.
No.
We want to hear from the losers.
Which is why I can't contribute because my team's always won.
Oh, right. Okay.
Yeah. I'm joking.
That story I told you was just a joke about my team.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a winner too. Just so you can be relatable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, 100Diles.m, text 9696.
We want the stories of when your team
got a thorough walloping
this afternoon.
Speaking of being rolled,
the English
Lionesses have been absolutely
walloped by the Aussie
women's team over in Vegas for the
NRL showcase game.
Got absolutely
throttled.
90 points to 4, I think
it was. And the English girls only
scored in the last two minutes.
Yeah.
17 tries to one.
It's rugby league, by the way.
And it's a hiding.
It's about as bad as it gets.
It is an absolute hiding.
86-point hiding.
So we're asking you this afternoon.
Put it this way.
Put it this way.
They were saying the Warriors' loss was catastrophic.
And they lost 30 points to eight.
Yeah.
And then the English women's team lose 90 points to four.
Bree was saying, what do you say if you're the coach after that game?
And I said, I think you resign.
Yeah, you don't even go back into the locker room.
You go, hey, I'll take this one.
You walk straight to the car and you go straight to the bar.
Straight to the airport and you fly home.
So we're asking you this afternoon,
what team were you on that got an absolute throttling?
Connor's here.
G'day, Connor.
Hi, Connor.
Are you there, Connor?
We'll come back to Connor.
We'll pop him back on hold and get Claude to talk to him.
There's some great texts here.
Someone said, oh, this cricket one is bizarre.
We had a cricket game last season playing for a men's grade team.
We batted first.
We got 23 runs then when we were
bowling we lost in 1.5 overs beers of sorrow were head that is i don't know if i'd go back and play
after that you lost like you got wait so they lost how many overs did they They lost by 48 and a half overs. You're telling me they scored 23 runs in 50 overs.
No, they got 23 runs before all of their batsmen were bowled out.
Oh, yeah, or one or the other.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Connor's back.
G'day, Connor.
Hi, Connor.
Hello.
Hello.
Now, was this a team you were on that got an absolute pants in, Connor?
Yeah, we were on the team that got absolutely thumped.
What's the sport? Soccer. Oh, no. And what was the score, Connor? Yeah, we were on the team that got absolutely thumped. What's the sport?
Soccer.
And what was the score, Connor?
24-0.
Holy smokes!
Oh, we shouldn't laugh.
Are you okay?
Are you over it?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Connor, does that mean pretty much everyone on their team scored two goals against you?
Pretty much.
Even the goalie scored. Even the goalie scored.
Even the goalie scored against you?
I don't mean to laugh.
You've got to laugh, Connor, right?
Did he still have the gloves on?
That's bizarre.
Yeah, he did.
Were you playing against a team that was way older than you
or how come they were so much better?
No, they were a Colts team.
Oh.
What does that do for your love of football, Connor?
Like, are you going to keep playing?
Yeah, it doesn't matter that much.
Okay, good man.
Only weighs up, right, Connor?
Only weighs up.
Yeah.
Not in points, because, I mean, it doesn't get much higher than 20.
What was it?
24.
Yeah, yeah.
I love it, Connor.
Double dozen loss.
Thanks, Connor.
We appreciate it, mate.
So good.
Someone said on this one,
I feel like you're just ragging on the rival school.
They said the 2017 Palmerston North Boys High School
first 15 lost to Hastings Boys 100-0.
Wow.
And then 76-7 to Hamilton Boys the following week.
Obviously, it wasn't Palmermy North boys high school's year
was it? But do you look at that and you go guys
we've improved by 25 points
week on week. Last week we lost by 100
this week we lost by 76. We're getting better.
We're getting better. We're getting better.
What about this one? In high school Hamilton
boys beat the hockey team
I was playing with 17
to nil. They ended up having
three of their players represent New Zealand.
17-0 in hockey.
That's an absolute trouncing.
We lost a rugby game in 1983, 152-0.
Wow.
That's got to be some kind of a record.
We worked out before that the Aussie women's team
was scoring at one try
every 4.7 minutes.
Let's just work this one out.
So 80 minute game
divided by 152 points.
Oh, we need to know
how many tries it is.
Yeah.
Let's just go 152
divided by seven.
Let's say they converted
all of their tries.
It's 21 tries.
80 divided by 21.
So try every three minutes.
Imagine how busy that referee would have been
just writing stuff in his little book.
Oh, he would have had no ear left in his lungs
from blowing the whistle so much.
Crazy.
Anyway, what's the moral of the story here?
Some teams are just better.
You should just not play them.
Or practice more.
Or avoid sport altogether.
That's what it is.
Yeah, you can't lose if you don't try.
Exactly.
And that's a great life motto.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
It's Oscars day. So Dean's live from the Oscars with the Goskers.
Hi, Dean.
Hi, Dean.
I am here with the Goskers.
Very nice, very good writing.
Okay, it's been a day.
Everyone in Hollywood is here.
A couple of the big winners so far, Zoe Saldana won for Best Supporting Actress for Amelia Perez,
and Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor as well.
So obviously we haven't had the big awards yet.
But let me tell you about some...
Excuse me.
I'm losing my voice because I've been yelling at you
and carrying on all day like a pork chop.
Let me tell you, Cynthia Arriba and Ariana Grande opened the show
and it was kind of like everything I ever wanted it to be.
You know when you can say a little prayer and it comes true
and it opens the show.
It was like that.
They performed Defying Gravity, didn't they, Dean?
Oh, yes.
And they looked at each other so lovingly and they held fingers
and all that kind of thing.
It really was spectacular.
Conan O'Brien hosting the show right now, doing a phenomenal job.
Just poked fun at Drake, poked fun at Carla Sofia Gascon.
Didn't expect he would, but he did.
And so, yeah, it's a vibe.
It's a party.
Everyone in Hollywood is out and about.
Obviously, the big Oscars drama of recent years
was the Will Smith assault on Chris Rock.
Has anything even as mildly as controversial as that
gone down at the Oscars this year, Dean?
Or is it all pretty calm and sanitised?
It's all pretty calm and sanitised.
Probably a Halle Berry kissing Adrian Brody on the red carpet before
was like a bit of a moment.
Everyone was like, oh, wow,
because I think they worked together back in 2003.
But, yeah, so that was like the only dramatic moment.
We haven't had any slappings.
We haven't read out any wrong names of the winners yet.
Dean, people are saying that it was pretty rude and terrible
that Ariana Grande missed out on the best supporting actress,
Oscar.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, she was very, she's extremely talented.
It would have been phenomenal for her to win.
But yeah, I think it's 10,000 voters or something in the Academy, 8,000 voters.
So that's how they roll.
It's interesting because obviously you and I, Clint, have seen the Wicked film and you
and I both thought Ariana Grande was a standout alongside Cynthia Erivo.
Both of them were fantastic.
And it was super successful at the box office.
But Zoe Saldana, is that how I pronounce it?
Who's very famous and amazing.
And I'm pretty sure, is it in the movie Aurora?
That she's been cleaning up all the awards?
Amelia Perez, I think they said.
Amelia Perez.
Oh, Amelia Perez, right.
But yeah, stealing all the awards and taking out everything.
I haven't seen that film.
It's making me want to go see it.
It's so good.
I can translate for Bree here.
Justice for Ariana.
Oh, that too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's getting it.
I mean, I just think she could have picked up an award here or there,
and I feel like she's won nothing.
We'll touch base with you later, Dean.
What time are you heading?
How long until you go to Elton John's house?
I've actually just got here.
Oh, you're there?
Okay.
Well, let's check in with you a little bit later and get some more goss, shall we?
Yes, please.
Yes, please.
I just saw Megan Thee Stallion just walked in and just twerked in front of me.
I've got a little video of it.
That's Dean McCarthy.
I'm not kidding.
He is literally living the dream.
You should go follow him on Instagram,
at Dean McCarthy,
and you'll see what's happening over there
for the Oscars today.
Bree and Clint.
Last week, we talked about someone
who refused to be in their friend's wedding party
for personal reasons.
That was because...
And we were on her side.
We were on her side because her ex was one of the groomsmen and her ex's new partner
was another bridesmaid and was all too icky.
Yeah, everyone was an a-hole apart from her.
I saw this post.
Yeah, exactly right.
Pretty much.
I saw this anonymous post today from someone who's thinking about boycotting their best
friend's wedding altogether.
Best friend?
Yeah.
Is it Julia Roberts?
Is that my best friend's wedding joke?
Yeah.
I haven't seen it.
Oh, you need to see it.
It's so good.
It's on the list.
It's a fantastic movie.
Listen to this.
This is the situation and we can judge afterwards.
My best friend and I have been inseparable for 20 years,
but she's acting
completely out of character. After discovering that her boyfriend of five years was cheating,
she showed no emotion and immediately started frantically dating. Then in November, she
met Jake, who proposed on the second date, and she said yes. The strangest part? She
never told anyone. I only
found out yesterday when she casually
announced that they're getting married
in two weeks time. Oh my
God. And asked me to
be the witness slash maid of honour.
She's always been open with her friends
but lately she's been distant and
secretive. I've only met Jake
a few times but I've noticed a few
red flags,
subtle controlling behavior that makes me uneasy.
What worries me most is how much Sarah,
my friend has changed.
She used to be all about independence,
logic and maintaining friendships,
but now she's completely wrapped up in this guy.
I voiced my concerns,
but she brushed them off and said, she just knows that he's the one. I don't want to support something that feels like a bad decision, God, what a cluster.
This is a sticky situation, eh?
Yeah.
Here's my first initial thoughts.
This is what I think.
She has to go to the wedding.
I agree.
Because when it does fall apart,
then she will be the one to be there to pick up the pieces
and to support her through that.
Yes.
Because clearly it's going to happen.
It's just a matter of time.
Yeah, this is a real stick by your friend through thick and thin type situation, isn't it?
Yeah, like if it is your best friend of 20 years
and it's really out of character and she's obviously going through a bad patch,
then you've got to stick by her.
In 20 years, she's probably watched you do dumb things too.
Absolutely, and that's what good friends do.
I think the good thing is she has voiced her concern.
Like she has said, hey, I don't feel right about this.
So you can either try that again or you can just leave it at that and go.
Yeah, now that she's voiced it, at least she's done that
and then now you've just got to support her the best way that you
can through this dumb dumb decision it would be so frustrating to watch though and to know that
your friend is setting themselves up for failure which we're only going off two paragraphs here
but it's if that if everything there is true the friend is absolutely setting themselves up for
failure and there's a real risk that you then lose that friend even further, right?
Like if she...
Well, if she doesn't go to the wedding, she's lost her.
Totally.
But if this guy is that controlling, then they get married
and then she could become more and more reclusive
and you don't even see her.
But still, one day, if she does see the light...
Which she will.
At least you can go, I was there for you the whole time.
Yeah.
I guess.
Oh, yuck.
Makes me feel sick.
You'd be at the wedding and they do that thing.
They go, if anyone knows of any reason why these two should not be married,
speak now or forever hold your peace.
And you're like, I've got a few things to say.
Oh, well, I've got a few things.
But I tried to talk to you about it before and it didn't go down well.
At least she has voiced her concerns and opinion because that's what a real friendship is. I agree to you about it before and it didn't go down well. At least she has voiced her concerns and opinion
because that's what a real friendship is.
I agree with you.
This person needs to go to the wedding.
But there would be other instances where I think you would be well
within your rights to say, no, I love you,
but I'm not coming to your wedding.
I don't know the ins and outs of them.
Oh, God.
But is anyone listening this afternoon,
is there anyone listening who has
said no to going to a friend's
wedding? I remember there was
I can't remember who
exactly what it was, but there was some
drama in this family because
some aunties and uncles got
invited to the wedding and some didn't.
And then a few of the aunties and uncles were like
we're not coming unless everyone gets
invited and blah, blah, blah.
It was a huge drama.
Okay, did you not go to the wedding out of protest
because you weren't someone else invited?
Did you not go to the wedding because your friend had already had three weddings
and you're like, I'm not paying to go to your fourth wedding?
That's fair.
Yeah.
And I'm not buying you a present for the fourth time.
I'm not buying you a present for the fourth time.
I bought your entire kitchen set up.
I'm now on to white goods where I'm buying you washer and dryer.
0800 DALES at M or text your story into 9696.
We can keep you completely anonymous for this one.
That's totally fine.
But I want to hear from people who have said, no, I love you,
but I can't come to your wedding.
Maybe you were too attracted to the person that they were marrying.
Ooh, scandal.
Bree and Clint.
We're asking, why did you refuse to go to your best friend's wedding?
We just talked about someone whose partner,
or whose best friend is marrying a guy that she got engaged to
after two dates, after breaking up from a long-term relationship
with a guy who was cheating.
The rebound guy.
Yeah.
And they're having like a civil ceremony
and she's like, I don't endorse this wedding.
Can I not go?
And we don't think she can not go.
We think she has to go and ride or die with her friend.
So we've asked, when were you in this situation?
We've had one text through from a wedding photographer
and they said they see and hear about this kind of family drama all the time.
I would love to hear all their stories.
Yeah.
They would have so many.
You should do a podcast.
Yeah, that would be a great idea for a podcast.
Just put a voice changer on so no one knows what wedding it was
and just spill the goss.
You might not get booked for weddings anymore if people find out.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hello, what happened with your maid of honour?
So we had found out a few months prior that her boyfriend was cheating on her.
Oh, no.
She used to invite him and she very kindly said,
that's fine, but then I can't be your maid of honor
and I can't come to your wedding.
Wait, so she chose her cheating boyfriend over you on your wedding day?
Very much in denial.
She thought she'd found the one.
Yeah.
And if I go back, I would totally just invite him.
I would just be like, you know what?
Hey, I'll just invite him. Just invite him. I would just be like, you know what? Hey, I'll disinvite him, but I'm not feeding him.
He can come afterwards.
I'm not feeding him?
Yeah, he can feed himself.
It's tough because you had your friend's best interests at heart.
Yeah, you were just trying to do the right thing by your friend.
But, you know, sometimes we think we're doing the right thing,
but, you know, we've never been the same.
I still talk to her every now and then, but, yeah.
Is she still with the cheater?
Is she still with the cheater?
Yeah, is she still with him?
She's not.
They didn't last very long after my wedding.
Did she ever find out that he was cheating?
Did, yep.
But your relationship never recovered.
That sucks.
Thanks, Anonymous.
This person wants to be anonymous too.
Hello? Hi, Anonymous. Can person wants to be anonymous too. Hello?
Hi, Anonymous.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, we've got you.
Okay, you didn't go to a friend's wedding.
Is that right?
No, well, it wasn't my friend.
It was actually my brother marrying my ex.
Oh!
Wow!
So your brother gets engaged to your ex,
invites you to the wedding,
and you refuse to go?
Yeah, correct.
That's kind of fair. How did he take it? He won't talk to me. He won't talk to you, to go. Yeah, correct. That's kind of fair.
How did he take it?
He won't talk to me.
He won't talk to you, even now.
How long ago was it?
The wedding hasn't happened yet.
Oh, it's still coming up. So is there any way that you would change your mind on this anonymous
and go to your brother's wedding?
No.
How long?
My family won't talk to me either.
Oh, man.
What? So they've all taken his side? No. How long? My family won't talk to me either. Oh, man. What? So they've all
taken his side? Yeah.
How long were you with the
person that he's marrying?
18 months. Okay.
Interesting.
I can't believe that
all the family and everyone's just taken his
side. What are the details we're missing
Anonymous?
I had a child to her.
What?
Yeah.
How long has he been with her?
He's been with her now 12 plus years.
Okay.
Oh, a long time.
But this is all drama that's been, you know, happened a long time ago.
Do you want to make peace with your brother?
Do you want to sort it out or are you just done with it?
No, I'm done.
I said, John, I said I'm not coming.
I said if you'd marry somebody else, I'd be here in a heartbeat
because you're marrying here.
Do you reckon he got together with her before you guys broke up?
I'm not 100% sure.
Does something in your gut say that he might have?
Yep.
So, Anonymous, can I just one last question for you?
So you're not going to the wedding, which, I mean,
I think that's fair enough on your part,
but have you got a relationship with your brother,
like, after that all happened?
No, I don't talk to him.
Yeah, right.
So you just don't have a relationship at all?
No.
Yeah, I mean, it'd be hard to come back from.
I just, I don't know if you could ever trust your brother again.
And the other thing is my son is his uncle.
That's his uncle.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
Wait, wait, your son is your brother's uncle?
No, his son, his brother is the uncle.
My brother is his uncle.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I see, I see.
But that's even worse.
And now he's stepdad.
So, yeah, you're, yeah, it's uncle, stepdad.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's confusing, isn't it?
Jeez, okay.
Yep, it sure is.
Well, what are you going to do on the wedding day instead?
You should throw some kind of alternate party
where you shout everything
and see how many people you can get to come to your party instead.
I don't know.
That'd be real evil of you, Anonymous.
That'd be real grown up.
Thanks, Anonymous.
We appreciate it.
No, all good.
All right, see you.
Go.
Every family has drama though Like don't they
Every family's got some sort of drama going on
What about this one
I didn't go to my brother's wedding
He invited me and my wife and kids
Then tried to uninvite my kids
So I uninvited my whole family
You're being selfish
Yeah, that's family drama there You know, like maybe they thought in the beginning
okay, we wanted kids and then maybe the guest list blew out a bit
and they're like, okay, we're not having kids. And so, but to not
go to your brother's wedding over that. Come on now. I said no to attending
my father's wedding to the woman he got in a relationship with less than six
months after my mother passed away.
They were married for 23 years.
My father was married to the second woman for five years.
They're now divorced.
Lol, we told him not to do it.
Oh, God.
Yeah, but, I mean, when people are in that kind of, you know,
they can't see.
They can't see.
They can't see.
You've just got to let them make their own mistakes sometimes.
You've just got to go with Dad.
Also, what about the person that said the real drama is we want to know
why Brie didn't get invited to Clint's wedding.
I want to know that as well.
Like, I've had enough.
There's been excuses over the years, but.
She had eyes for my wife.
Could have got her too.
Lucky you didn't have me at the wedding.
Brie and Clint.
In this game.
How many?
How many?
How many?
That's a good amount.
Very simple game.
There's a category each week,
and you just need to pick between me, Clint, and Claudia
who you think you have more than of that.
I was so close.
More than.
Than. Of that. Trust it. I was so close. Oh, Ben. That.
You'd have more than the category thing than they do.
Is that Clara's mud, Brad?
Yep, here it is.
Yeah, here it is.
It'll make sense. He speaks, Brie.
It'll make sense.
Claudia is going to run the game today as well.
Claudia, you've picked our subject.
Yes, so the subject today,
we're looking for the person with the most keys on their key ring.
Ah.
Ooh.
So Brad just needs to have more keys on his key ring than the person he picks.
Than just one of us, yeah.
Brad, can we start with you?
How many keys are there on your key ring right now?
I have one question.
Do remotes count as a key?
Ooh.
Is it a remote to open your car or to open your garage door?
No, one to open an electric gate and one is to open the car.
Claudia?
Ooh.
Well, is the car key separate to the remote that opens the car?
Yes, the car doesn't have an actual key.
Ooh, okay.
I reckon the car one counts. I reckon the remotes count too. And you have to count the gate remote too.'t have an actual key. Oh, okay. I reckon the car one counts.
I reckon the remotes count too.
And you have to count the gate remote too.
That's technically a key.
Perfect.
And the one for the electric gate too?
Yes, we'll count it.
Yeah, all right.
Go on then.
Awesome.
Seeing as you're being nice and honest and upfront with us, Brad, we will count them.
I like the honesty.
So what's your number?
Six.
Six.
Oh, wow.
I mean, that's fine.
Okay.
You need to now pick the person that you think you have
more keys than. Is it Brie? Is it
Claudia? Or is it me, Clint?
I'm
going to go with Claudia today. You think you've
got more than Claudia?
Yeah. Let's lock it in. I mean, judging
from her reaction. Ah, that was
fake. I can tell you, Brad reaction. Ah, that was fake.
I can tell you, Brad, if you'd chosen me, you would have won.
I have one key on my key ring.
You're running a clean key ring. I just have a car key on my key ring.
Brad, if you chose me, you would have lost.
I got 14.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm kidding.
I have four.
You would, though.
If you'd chosen Bree, you would have won as well.
You would have won.
Now, Claudia's just moved house.
She's in a new flat.
Is she still carrying the keys from her old place on there?
Who knows?
Claudia, what's your number?
Brad, I will say you have chosen me on a good day.
I usually have more keys than I do right now.
And carabiners too, eh?
Shut up.
I have got
only three.
Now, only three keys. Yes, Brad!
Brad, you have
more keys on your caring than
almost all of us combined. Congratulations.
You
have just won 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Very well played, can I say, Brad.
Probably the best we've had in a number of weeks.
That's a lot of keys, Brad.
Can I suggest a downside?
Running a streamlined life like me.
Can we ask Brad what all the keys are for?
Are you a security guard?
Absolutely, absolutely.
Call key, gate key, work key, padlock key and chastity belt key.
Make it 100 KFC chicken dollars.
Brad, you're a good man.
We'll talk to you later.
Thank you.
I wonder if that's a universal chastity belt key because I lost mine.
Like a skeleton key?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Call the locksmith. Universal chastity belt key Because I lost mine Like a skeleton key Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah us either. Was that on the work account? Yeah, it was on the work account. So did you go for Uber Comfort?
No, I went Uber
default. I just went
normal Uber. Sometimes it throws
Uber Comfort as the number
one choice now. Yeah, I know.
No, this was just a bog standard
Uber order. It wasn't Uber Black or anything
like that. Can you even get Uber Black in New Zealand?
I don't know if you can. You can get Uber
Pet. Yeah. Anyway, nice car. Okay, not the sort of car you'd expect Uber Black in New Zealand? I don't know if you can. You can get Uber Pet. Yeah.
Anyway, nice car.
Okay, not the sort of car you'd expect to be in Uber.
When I got in, there was a large handwritten sign on the dash.
Right, okay.
You know where Uber drivers and taxi drivers put their ID?
Yes.
It was up there.
Were you sitting in the front or the back at this point?
Always the back.
Always the back.
I always sit in the back.
I regard, unless there's four passengers going in the front or the back at this point? Always the back. Always the back. I always sit in the back. I regard, unless there's four passengers going in the Uber,
I consider the front seat to be the driver's area.
Yeah.
Leave them to their space.
I'll go in the back.
So just me.
And I glance up at this handwritten sign,
and this is what it said.
All capital letters.
Please inform driver of any complaints or problems
as Uber will not tell us why complaints are made.
If we don't know, we cannot possibly change.
Five stars on the app, please.
And compliments are welcome.
And at first I was like, interesting.
What are your thoughts on that?
Interesting that you would have that. And then I thought was like, interesting. What are your thoughts on that? Interesting that
you would have that. And then I thought a little bit more about it. And I thought,
only someone who has been receiving complaint notifications from the Uber app would feel the
need to put a sign up about it. Can I play devil's advocate for a minute? I don't know.
I don't know if I agree. I think being an being an Uber driver, literally you have to have a five-star rating.
Yes.
If you want to keep driving Uber, which is a lot of people's, you know, livelihood.
Yeah.
And I think it's such a hard thing, especially with Uber, that it's subjective.
Like your 4.8 might be different to my 4.8.
Totally. And people don't know the power different to my 4.8. Totally.
And people don't know the power of a four out of five.
That's what I mean.
It's pretty bad for an Uber driver.
You know?
So maybe he was just being like,
I've gotten some fours.
Yeah.
Good theory.
And I don't want to get fours again.
Good theory.
So, but?
Not 150 metres down the road,
we got to a roundabout
and some people were crossing the road.
Oh no.
And my driver went, oh, bloody tourists,
learn how to use the goddamn footpath.
I see.
I went, oh.
And, I mean, it doesn't really make you feel like
you want to voice your concerns in that environment, does it?
Exactly right.
If I was to do as the sign instructed,
I would have had to say 150 metres into a six or seven kilometre journey.
Hey, I've got a complaint to make.
Why are you yelling at the tourists who are just trying to cross the road?
Less road rage would be good.
And are they tourists or are they just Asian?
You know?
Like, are you being racist?
Like, you know, I don't know.
So I didn't complain.
The hard part is.
I didn't complain to his face.
I'm also yet to submit my star rating.
Oh, what are you going to submit?
Probably just five.
Like, what do you want me to do?
You can't give him a five after the little bit of, you know.
Yeah, I know.
No, you can't actually.
Road rage and racism.
I'd say that's.
Okay, only one outburst though.
So one outburst in the whole trip.
How long was the trip?
Ten minutes.
What are you thinking's fair?
Three seems harsh.
I mean, you should text us.
You should text us 9696.
What do you think the rating should be?
How many stars?
I do feel like maybe Uber driving is not for him.
Like I did get the feeling that if you're getting those complaints
and you're getting that angry at people,
maybe chauffeuring people around is not the best job for you.
Yeah.
The hardest part too is that –
He's got a really nice car.
He's got to pay off.
Yeah.
They rate you back.
Yes.
You know?
Exactly right.
So if I had complained to him in the Uber,
would that have affected my star rating as a passenger?
Yeah. I mean, it's a great question.
Sometimes I take Ubers just so I can be rated because I've been, you know,
in a long-term relationship.
Yeah, yeah.
And sometimes I just want to see if I still have it.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Still have the banter.
Mate, you're a solid four.
How dare you?
Out of four.
I'm giving you a two and a half. Oh, people are fixating on the racism bit.
I don't know that that's what it was.
I don't know, okay?
It's just an observation.
It sounded that way.
It was mostly road rage.
Someone said you should give them 4.5 stars.
You can't.
You can only do four or five, can't you?
Yeah, it's four or five.
Yeah, yeah.
3.5, no excuse for rudeness.
There you go. Can't do. 3.5. No excuse for rudeness. There you go.
Can't do a 3.5.
Yeah.
What do you reckon if people had to give us like a rating on our show?
Like what would people be rating our show out of five stars?
Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to.
It'll hurt my feelings.
Bree and Clint.
Right now we're asking the question,
can you have more than one best friend?
Is that possible?
Or is the term best friend literally just for one person?
Reserved for one person, yeah.
You said last week that you have multiple best friends?
Yeah.
Yeah, multiple best friends.
Yeah, multiple best friends.
I feel like, yeah, yeah, I think so. I have a best friends. Yeah, multiple best friends. I feel like, yeah, yeah, I think so.
I have a best friend.
I have four or five.
Name them so your other friends know who it is.
He's probably listening too.
Adam is my best friend.
And everyone else is just friends.
Name your best friends.
Seeing as you've got a few,
I don't want people who are on the edges of best friend
to think they're not a best friend.
There's quite a few to name, so I feel like we'll just breeze past it.
How many?
You know what?
I think as I've gotten older, I'm the type of person that all my closest friends, I would consider my best friends.
Because I don't have a huge group of friends.
I don't.
So how many?
Probably four. You can name four. Oh, look at the time. We've got to move on. have a huge group of friends. I don't. So how many? Probably
four. You can name four.
Oh, look at the time. We've got to move on.
Okay. Interesting.
Interesting.
Seems like best friend.
They know.
Seems like best friend
might be like
a badge you can give out if someone
is. Like I said to you last week, and I stand by the comment.
I know I was like saying it for like joking around,
but I've never really had a best friend.
Like I've.
Like a lifelong best friend.
No, I never got chosen as someone's best friend.
So I don't have that lifelong best friend.
So I think as I've gotten older, I surround myself with people
that if you're in my inner circle, you are one of my best friends.
Sure, okay.
Because I don't have heaps of them.
Conversely, the person who is my best friend has been,
like I would consider my best friend since we were like 10.
So it's like a longevity thing.
It's like even if someone was to come along now
and I've become really good friends with them,
like it would be hard to compete with 25 years of prior friendship.
Yeah.
But are they just your best friend because they're your longest friend?
No.
Or are you actually like they're your actual best friend?
My best friend is my best friend because it's effortless.
That is a big requirement.
And because we have so much shared history.
You know?
So that is the time thing.
It's the time thing, yeah.
Yeah.
Which you can't create that.
But like you, I've probably got four people who.
Oh, so now you want to come over to the multiple best friends side.
No, I reckon I've got four people who I would say are my top friends.
But there's still going to be someone, even in your group,
there's got to be one person who has a better friend than the rest,
someone you see more than the others or someone who does more with you
or for you than the others.
I think all my really close friends bring different things to my life,
hence why I have, you know, that group of
friends.
Yeah, right.
Someone said best friend is a friendship level slash tier, not an individual.
So that's...
So that's their saying.
But I also see what you're saying.
Like, I think it's just maybe your lived experience.
Like I said, I never had someone choose me as their best...
I never had that best friend.
Can you have four best friends like you,
but you're still going to have a BFF?
Oh, now you're complicating it.
That may be the category.
What do you think, Claudia?
What are your thoughts?
Have you got any friends?
No, I don't have any friends.
You guys want to?
Oh, you waited one up, me, Claude.
Bree's handing it out willy-nilly.
You can be one of her best friends.
Can I be your friend? Yeah, you can be one of her best friends. Come on in. I'm going to be my friend. Bree's handing it out willy-nilly. You can be one of her best friends. Can I be your friend?
Yeah, you can be one of her best friends.
Come on in.
I think I have two best friends.
I've got the kind of lifelong one.
We've known each other since like for what, 20 years?
Yeah.
And then the other one.
Like my one?
Yeah.
The other one is the one that I see like on a daily basis
and talk to all the time.
But I would consider them.
But they're different, hey?
Yeah, very different.
Is that other one, he or she, are they your best friend
or are they just your most frequent friend?
I think they're both my best friends, but for different reasons.
One of them is the friend you can not see for ages and then catch up
and talk to about anything if you need to, but you're not expected to.
And then the other one is the one that I go to for everything,
every day, all the time.
Yeah.
Someone said, interesting that neither of you are calling your partners
your best friends. I never said that. I said I had
a group. Yeah, and my
wife is in the top four.
No, it's different, okay? It's different.
Obviously, my partner
is my wife. It goes without saying.
He's trying to crawl
his way back now.
Quick, say something else to just double down on it.
I think she actually said this to me once.
She was like, because I was talking about best friends
and the hierarchy.
You wouldn't be her best friend.
No, and she goes, she goes.
And I know that about her.
No, no, no, but I know.
I was talking about the hierarchy of like,
who my best friends are.
And she goes, I'm one of your best friends, aren't I?
I was like, oh yeah, of course.
And then did she say, because you're not one of mine. Yeah, exactly.
Brutal. Let's put it out to the people, okay?
If you've got a compelling case one way or the
other, the question is,
can you have more than one
best friend? It doesn't matter which side
of it you sit. If you feel passionately about it,
we would love to hear your opinion this afternoon.
Yeah, let's get to the bottom of it. What are your
thoughts?
We're trying to settle the debate whether you can have more than one best friend or not.
Yeah.
Is it a thing?
Is it a thing?
Does best friend reserve for one person?
Or is it a category?
Is it like a, what did they say?
A tier of friendship, which you can have as many people in.
But surely having more than one lessens it, sort of dilutes it.
Like someone who has 15 best friends.
Or are you just super lucky?
Well.
Oh, glass half full over here.
But what if you met someone who had 30 best friends?
I'd be like, wow, you are so lucky.
Wouldn't you be like, they're not all your best friend?
Well, if they say they are.
But there might be tears within the best friends.
Mary-Kate's here.
Hi, Mary-Kate.
G'day, Mary-Kate.
No, hang on.
Sorry, Mary-Kate.
There can't be tears within the best friend status.
There can't be tears.
There could be for that person.
Can you have more than one best friend, Mary-Kate?
I think, because I do, but
they're in different categories. So you have
your work bestie and you have
your gym bestie. I go to university.
I have a university bestie.
I've got friends overseas
that I don't see, but they're my overseas bestie.
And I have besties that
you send certain memes
or reels to that only those people
kind of get. So I just think, yeah, it's kind of endless.
But are they all your best friend?
For those things, yes.
For those different areas of my life.
I see what you're saying, Mary-Kate.
So she's got different aspects of her life,
and in that aspect of her life, that is her best friend.
Do you have a life best friend?
Not one.
Again, because just different reasons.
I have a lifelong best friend, but then I very seldom speak with them.
But then I would have a day-to-day best friend.
You know, I think...
God, you must be a great friend, can I say, Mary-Kate?
You're very popular.
Thank you. I just don't think it's simple.
Yeah, I have to agree
with her. I don't think it's that black and white.
You would agree with her because she's backing up your opinion.
Let's go to Flynn.
I think she's got a point. I think we should talk to her
more, actually. Flynn, are you there?
Hello.
Can you have more than one best friend, Flynn?
Yes, definitely.
How many do you have, Flynn?
I've got one, but I
pretty much
agree with
the other person.
Yeah, I agree.
You sound smart, Flynn.
So Flynn, you've only got one, but you're looking
for more? Yes.
Yeah, why not? Because you've only got one, but you're looking for more. Yes. Okay.
Yeah, why not? Because you need more than one in your Fortnite squad.
Costain's here.
Hi, Costain.
Hi, Costain.
Hi.
Hi there.
Hi.
Can you have more than one best friend or only one?
I think only one.
I mean, I've got one best friend who lives overseas in Australia.
We catch up once a week over the phone.
And then I've got close friends
in New Zealand who I talk to
day to day, do stuff with.
But like my best friend is
the guy that I tell things
to him that I wouldn't tell anyone
else. He knows all my secrets.
Which I totally get what you're saying.
They're like, you're right or die.
You know that they have your back thick or thin, right?
Yeah.
What if someone, let's just spitball here for a second.
What if someone has more than one of those people in their life
where they know they'll have their back?
Can they have more than one best friend?
I mean, I think you can have like more than one person that you tell your secrets to,
but I think there's only one person that you know.
That's how I feel about it.
If anything hits the fan, that's the person that you go to and they'll know exactly what
to do.
They're your emergency contact friends.
So you can't have, so it has to be, so you can't have your partner as your best friend
then and another best friend?
Probably not.
So Clint, who is it?
Is it Adam or is it your wife Lucy?
Who is it?
No, these are different things.
They're different things.
Can I just use Costain's logic for a second?
So you tell your best friend everything.
And Bree, do you tell your best friends everything?
Yeah.
So if you have something that you have to share,
do you have to go to
all four of your best friends
and give them that news?
Because what if you told
two of them but not
the other two
and then the other two
are like,
I can't believe you told
them that but not me.
It doesn't matter
because when you're
best friends,
you don't hold on
to crappy stuff like that.
Oh, shut up.
Thanks, Costain.
We appreciate
at least one person
called up.
One rational,
logical person. There's a few on the text person called up. One rational, logical person.
There's a few on the text machine as well.
It's 50-50.
Someone said Clint's like his key ring.
One key, one friend.
I have more than one friend, okay?
But not more than one best friend.
That is the sole job of Adam.
Clint's best friend. You're a polyamorous friender.
That's what you are.
I like that.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
All right, this is Birthday Banger, where you tell us your birthday
and we figure out what was the number one song on your 16th,
and then we'll play one.
I was in Mount Maunganui over the weekend for the Beast of a Feast music festival.
Yes, I saw that. It looked real good. Someone drove past me when I was walking Mount Maunganui over the weekend for the Beast of a Feast music festival. Yes, I saw that.
It looked real good.
Someone drove past me when I was walking into the festival and just yelled their birthday at me.
Hey, Clint!
What's my birthday banger?
Third of the 7th, 81.
Wait, let me do the back.
I can't just do it off the top of my head, guys.
I don't have like an almanac.
That's a good time.
My birthday banger's in my brain.
Victoria, we're going to do yours, though. Kia ora. Hi, Victoria. Hi, guys. I don't have like an almanac of birthday bangers in my brain. Victoria, we're going to do yours though.
Kia ora.
Hi, Victoria.
Hi, guys.
How was your weekend, mate?
Hi.
It was good.
I actually live in the mountains as well.
Oh, my God.
It's paradise.
It's paradise here.
It is paradise.
Lovely.
Every time I'm there, I'm like, I need to sell my house, quit my job, and move here immediately.
Do it.
Do it.
It's the best thing ever.
Yeah.
Victoria, who was that in the
background? That was my daughter
Quinn. Hi Quinn. She's very excited.
Hi Quinn.
There she is. Alright, let's do mum's
birthday banger. What is your birthday, Victoria?
So 13th of the 11th
1982. Alright, that means
you were 16 in 1998.
We've done the calculations
and here's your birthday banger.
Oh, it's a big one.
How fitting as they're in the news at the moment
because they've come back together.
They've just reunited, all five of them, Vic.
That is awesome.
That is an absolute banger.
That would be a great show to go to, the five show.
It would be.
Okay, wait there.
We're going to do Robyn's birthday banger.
G'day, Robyn.
Hi, Robyn.
Hey, team.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
You're not from the Mount as well, are you, Robyn?
No, but the Coromandel.
Oh, just as nice.
How good.
Hey, Robyn, what is your birthday?
3rd of March, 1980.
All right, that means you were 16 in 1996.
And on that day, Rob day Robin this was at the top
Wild
But also reunited
Recently
What do you reckon Robin
Good song
It's a fantastic song from Oasis
Still yet to be seen whether that reunion tour goes ahead or not.
They've sold all the tickets.
Yeah.
I reckon it's going to be hard for them to say no to how much money they'll make.
Last up's Mick.
G'day, Mick.
Hello, Mick.
Oh, Kia ora.
How are you?
Kia ora.
Whereabouts are you calling from, Mick?
I'm calling from the mighty T-A-W-A in Wellington.
Ta-wah-ha.
Lovely, Mick.
Lovely.
Good to have you on the show.
What is your birthday, mate?
18th of October, 1978.
All right, Mick.
That means you were 16 in 1994.
And here is your birthday bag.
Oh, it suits him down to the T, doesn't it, Mick?
Oh, it takes me back.
Yeah.
I bet.
Mick.
Mick of Tarwa gets boys to men all make love to you.
Are you a heartbreaker, Mick?
I'd like to think so, but probably not.
Okay, wait there.
Every single birthday banger is from the 90s today.
They are, aren't they?
98, 96, 94.
The one that got me most excited is probably Five.
Yeah, it's just not my favourite five song.
But I can't be bothered going to Claudia and her going against me
as she always does, so I'll just go with you.
Because I'm happy with either.
We'll take it, Avac.
Oh, yes, please, I'll take it.
We'll take it.
There you go.
That one's for Vic and Quinn from the Mount. For you, Quinn. I'll take it. We'll take it. There you go. That one's for Vic and Quinn from the Mount.
Brian Clint's in.
Brian Clint.
Brian Clint, that's the winner of Birthday Banger for Victoria.
Five.
Everybody get up.
Great song.
Great song. Great song.
We have an apology to make.
We have to issue a public apology to someone, and this is...
We haven't done this for a long time.
No, we haven't, and this is quite upsetting.
Robin, are you there?
Yes.
Robin.
I am.
Your Birthday Banger was Wonderwall Oasis,
and Clint and myself and producer Claudia
failed to realise that it was your birthday today.
That's okay, guys.
We just want to say we're very sorry and to make up for it,
this is the new rules of the show, we will now sing you happy birthday.
Is that what you want?
Happy birthday to you.
That's Robin.
Happy birthday to you. It's Robin. Happy birthday to you.
It's Robin.
Happy birthday, dear Robin.
Who?
It's her.
Happy birthday to you.
Why was she born so beautiful?
Sorry, Robin.
Have you had a good day?
I've had a lovely day and about to head to dinner with family. Oh, delightful. Sorry, Robin. Have you had a good day? I've had a lovely day and about to head to dinner with family.
Oh, delightful.
Oh, lovely.
We will make you a Brian Clint guarantee.
We will never miss another Robin birthday, okay?
Ever.
I won't ring back on a birthday banger day on my birthday again anyway.
No, I want you to, Robin.
And if we miss it, you will get a prize.
Robin's like, just let me go.
Just please let me go.
Robin's like, this is the worst part of my birthday by far.
All right.
We love you, Robin.
It's been a pleasure.
We love you too.
Oh, thanks, Robin.
Okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
Okay, see ya.
Bye, Robin.
Now you hang up.
Happy birthday.
Now you.
Oh, yep.
She's gone.
She was lovely.
Oh, I hope she has a good birthday. Bree and Clint. That is the end of the Oh, yep. She's gone. She was lovely. Oh, I hope she has a good birthday.
Bree and Clint.
That is the end of the show, everybody.
We've got to get out of here because there is a brand new episode
of White Lotus on Neon to watch tonight.
Episode three?
Episode three.
Really started to spice up in episode two.
It did, eh?
Yeah.
We're starting to get into the real good parts of the storyline
where you're trying to pick up on who's dodgy and who's not.
Did you watch the OA when it was on Netflix?
I feel like I did watch a bit of that.
The dad on this season of White Lotus
was the guy who kept the people in the basement on the OA?
Yes.
He always plays really good sort of creepy ulterior motive characters, eh?
White Lotus just have a fantastic cast.
I feel like it gets better and better every season.
Neon, if you want to stream White Lotus Season 3, we're loving it.
And we'll catch you guys back tomorrow on The Brian Clint Show.
Bye-bye.
ZM's Brian Clint.. Bye-bye.
