Hello there Rachel, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast.
You guys are passionate. Gosh, we've had some feedback about the potential changes we tabled to the podcast yesterday.
Haven't we?
Haven't we? We haven't gone through it all yet, but keep it coming in.
People want the podcast intro to be longer, is one of the main ones I got.
I thought people would want the podcast itself
to be a bit shorter, but
nobody has said that. They've said more.
Everyone wants it longer, which
I don't think we can do because we only have so much
radio show in the day.
Well, we can make the podcast intro
a little bit longer.
Remember our new policy, no
waxing on about nothing. Yeah, but I sometimes new policy, no waxing on about nothing.
Yeah, but I sometimes like just ripping on people in the podcast.
That's pretty fun.
It is pretty funny.
Are these people who are –
Like Clint.
Look at Clint's outfit.
He looks like a beige-looking cowboy.
Fuck, that's good gear, man.
That is good.
That's real good.
That's good stuff.
How do you feel after that, Clint?
Burnt to a crisp?
Roasted?
Yeah.
Someone open a window because I am burnt from being so hot from being so burnt.
I could have said what I was thinking, but I would have...
I'd get cancelled.
What were you thinking?
Nah, I'm not going to say it.
What, I look like a...
No.
Gay cowboy.
You can't say that
That's not what I was thinking
I can say that
Cowboys can be gay
Some are
Some are
So I've heard
I think Clint just got cancelled
I didn't
Yeah he's using gay
In a derogatory way
You are
Oh you're in the same category
As Taylor Swift
What was it we
What song is it
Where she had that lyric
It's Picture to Burn
Which is so long ago
Surely she didn't cop flack for that
People don't like the idea of the podcast being non-chronological too
Yeah, people don't like change is what I'm getting
I think if they experience it they might like it
Are these hardcore hard outs though that you know they lap up the full 60 minutes
Are we not reaching a broader?
See, I don't know.
I don't know.
Do we need to bring in a consultant?
Because, I mean, if you look at anything in life,
you always put your best stuff first, don't you?
Unless it's your dinner, then you eat the yucky stuff first,
and then the best stuff last.
Or a comedy show line-up.
True.
Wait, you're an adult.
This one goes last.
Or any concert. Stop. You're an adult. The best one goes last. Or any concert.
Stop.
You're an adult.
Why are you making your own dinner?
Why are you still making yourself yucky stuff?
Well, it's not yucky, but you have to put the healthy stuff on there, you know?
Yeah.
Although some of the green stuff is now my favorite.
What's your favorite green stuff?
Broccoli.
I love broccoli.
I love broccoli.
Have you ever had wild broccoli?
No.
So good.
You've got to catch it.
So good.
Wait, but doesn't the best stuff then go cold?
Oh, that's a good point.
That's a fair point.
That's a great point.
Not at the speed that I eat.
Yeah, me too.
I get indigestion.
Okay.
All right.
Well, we will take all of this feedback on board, everybody,
but you can keep it coming in.
There's a post up in our Facebook group.
Claude, can you set the record straight oh gosh um because i just want uh to get some clarification
a lot of people are like the podcast used to be longer and now it's shorter sometimes the start
of the phone or isn't in the podcast is that bs sometimes it's not because sometimes it's like
you reset it before you start taking phone, you kind of have the same chat again.
So I'm just avoiding people listening to the same thing twice.
But obviously they want to hear the same thing in the home.
Yeah, there's been quite a few people being like,
we want that first break.
They want that first break.
Someone's upset that I haven't been letting the phone number,
when you say the phone number, I haven't left that in there.
Oh, no, that can go.
That can go.
Yeah, I thought that was the boring stuff you don't want that but yeah i think you
need to put both of those breaks i usually do but then people can skip it yeah i refuse to listen
to our podcast to give you any real feedback i appreciate that but that's my feedback okay so i
could tell you anything and you'd have to believe it not longer though yesterday's podcast was 55
minutes what more do you want they want it over an hour. That's what they are.
People want an hour.
Well, they generally are.
An hour three, an hour two, 59 minutes.
Oh, there's a 44 in there.
Lazy day from us.
That was a slow day.
When did we open that day?
What day was that?
Probably just shit content.
Oh, yeah.
We were trying to get out of here.
Yeah, probably.
What do you think, Megan?
What are your thoughts?
I think they probably want it to, like, 69 minutes.
69.
Nice.
Would be good.
Would be good.
You have to listen to the podcast upside down, though.
That's how 69 works, eh?
Clint's never done a 69.
I love how it was just a 10 silence.
Have you just realized the only real experience Clint has had
or like a vision of a 69 is from watching pornography?
Yeah, and in my dreams.
Yeah, but where have you got those images from watching pornography?
From descriptions?
With who in your dreams?
Do you know what I mean?
Like, so you, what do you think happens?
Someone hanging upside down like a bat.
Yeah, like who's hanging upside down?
Someone's standing upright.
No, someone's on top and someone's on bottom.
Yeah.
So someone has to be facing the wrong way in the bed,
therefore they're upside down.
That's what I meant.
Is it horizontal or is it on the side or is it?
It's on the back. You're on your back. Someone's on their back. Yeah. Not both people. Yeah, yeah's what I meant. Is it horizontal or is it on the side or is it? It's on the back.
You're on your back.
Someone's on their back.
Yeah.
Not both people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The lazy people.
Hello, princess.
Starfish.
Yeah.
True, though.
True.
Anyway, this is not about me.
This is about the podcast.
This is about the podcast.
Can I just say, 69, what is everyone's thoughts?
Should you have your spot? That that's where you always are,
or should it rotate and you change it up?
Should you roll around like a sausage on a barbecue?
Within the relationship, so not the same time you do it.
You get into 69 position and you wrap the arms as well,
so you're nice and tightly bound
You just roll
I wish you could see what he's doing
I feel like
I'm watching a child
This isn't what you see in porn
This must be in your dreams
The least sexy thing I've ever seen
Claudia's like He's wearing beige Is this bus being a dream? It's the least sexy thing I've ever seen. Never done it.
Claudie's like, yeah.
Well, he's wearing beige.
Okay, if someone wants to draw me a picture,
if someone wants to draw me a picture,
you can post that in the podcast group too.
Yeah?
No, I don't want pictures of 69s.
Like, you can Google it.
Okay, we're going to go.
You guys can stay and discuss 69s if you like.
I'd stay.
Do you girls want to stay and discuss it? Yeah, we'll stay and discuss it.
I'm coming in
Well howdy
I had heaps more to add
Afternoon everybody
Welcome to the show
It's Bree and Clint
The day after our
Love Island party
Does everyone know
Who won Love Island yet
Is it too early
No Still too early it too early?
No. No?
Still too early.
Still too early.
Right.
I wouldn't say it, just to be safe.
You don't want to end up like our producer, Ella.
No, I don't.
What I will say is I'm happy with the Love Island result.
I am happy too.
I think it was the right decision.
Yeah, it was a good final episode,
and I feel like everyone in the room last night was happy.
Thanks to everyone who came last night to the Lula Inn.
That was so much fun, and thanks to Neon for helping us put that on.
We've got to do that again for the next season.
Yeah, totally.
I feel like it could be an annual thing.
We could do it twice, too.
We could do it for Casa Amor.
Yeah, that is the biggest episode of the season,
the recoupling of Casa Amor.
Yeah, okay, well, we'll look into that.
Today on the show, we're playing What's the Plot for $450 cash.
God, that's some good money.
Yeah, $450.
All you've got to do is beat Bree at our movie guessing game.
Fun theme for today.
It involves music.
Ooh.
That's all I'll say to you.
Okay.
It involves music.
We'll play What's the Plot at a slightly earlier time today.
We're going to play at about 25 past four if you want to win that $450.
By the way, I'm just looking at the music that we've got coming up shortly.
We're going to play a Mac Miller song shortly.
Of course, he passed away a few years ago.
Is it like a new release?
I'm Googling the hell out of it trying to find some information on it.
It came out in 2011.
Right.
It features the Temper Trap. Okay. But I can't find any information on it. It came out in 2011. Right. It features the temper trap.
Okay.
But I can't find any info on it.
So if you know the goss on this track,
why it's back up in 2022,
I'd love if you could educate us on the text machine on 9696.
It's probably TikTok.
Ah, it's probably TikTok.
Trending on TikTok again.
It was probably on Stranger Things.
Yeah, it could have been.
Could have been.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Tradies versus ladies.
The ladies finally picking up a win yesterday,
sitting on 52,
but the tradies way out in front still on 69.
Nice.
The ladies are going to get another win today
because it's lady versus lady.
All the tradies were busy.
So let's meet our first lady.
She is 28. She's from the Waikato
and she's allergic to pineapple. Welcome
to the show, Vicky.
G'day, Vicky. You allergic
to anything else?
No, just pineapple.
How did you find out?
I ate pineapple.
I mean, that makes sense.
Did you swell up? Is that the reaction you had?
Yeah.
My older sister put it in my lunchbox at school one day,
and I ate it, and the teacher didn't believe me
that I was having an allergic reaction,
which didn't go down very well with my parents.
They didn't believe you.
That's horrible.
I feel like I'm pretty allergic to pineapple.
Really?
Like my lips.
Yeah, my lips go pretty swollen,
but I quite like that they look like that.
You just fight through it.
Let's meet your opposition.
She's 39.
She's from Auckland,
and she spends too much time as a sports parent.
Welcome to the show.
It's Amanda.
G'day, Amanda.
What sports?
Hey, how are you?
Have you picked good sports at least?
Like ones that, you know, don't go all day,
like cricket.
Cricket. Well, I thought I was with know, don't go all day like cricket.
Well, I thought I was with baseball, but that goes most of the day.
Oh, no.
It goes pretty long.
I mean, what is it?
Seven, nine innings?
Kids age of seven?
Yeah, it can go up to nine.
The key, I feel, is choosing an indoor sport for winter,
but you're the expert.
Here we go.
Your buzzers today are just your names
because you can't both say lady,
and the first to get three correct
is going to get $50 from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
Queen Bey, Beyoncé,
released her latest album last week, Renaissance.
What's Beyoncé's daughter's name?
Amanda.
Yes, Amanda. Amanda.
Yes, Amanda.
No.
No.
That's Kim Kardashian's daughter, but good guess.
Good guess.
Yeah.
Vicky, what is that?
I feel like it's, is it Blue Ivy or something?
Yeah, well done. That is correct.
Technically, have you ever thought about this, ladies?
Blue Ivy is Destiny's Child.
Anyway, moving on.
Well, she would be if Beyonce had the kid with Kelly Rowland.
Well, you never know.
They could have.
They did tour a lot together.
Question number two, one to Vicky.
The Sky Tower had a birthday yesterday.
Happy birthday to the Sky Tower.
Is it 25, 35 or 45 years old?
Vicky.
Yes, Vicky.
I'm going to say 25.
25 is correct.
Opened on the 3rd of August, 1997, which makes it 25.
Question number three.
Vicky, you're two in front.
Amanda, you need this one here. If you had $124 and you bought an item worth $83,
how many dollars would you have left over?
Vicky.
Yes, Vicky, for the win.
$41.
Whoa, that was bloody close.
She's a lady.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, she's a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She's a lady.
You got it.
Well done, Vicky.
Congratulations.
There's 50 bucks coming your way and a point in the lady column for Tradiverse Lady.
Congratulations.
Yay, thank you.
Doing your bit for the ladies, Vicky.
Keep fighting that good fight.
And watch out for those Hawaiian pizzas, Vicky.
Bree and Clint.
A story about a woman who has gotten really honest
on the internet anonymously.
So, you know.
Honest behind a keyboard.
Yeah.
But she is looking for advice
because she's currently pregnant
and she said she's really struggling
with her food cravings.
Oh, yeah.
I find these really interesting.
It's quite interesting.
Because they all mean something. Yeah. Every
craving is your body's way of going
I need this nutrient.
Or I need this whatever it is.
I don't really know why
this woman would be craving
this particular thing but she said
she's been secretly
eating this
item for the last couple of months.
Okay.
Why does she need to eat something in secret?
Because this woman has a pregnancy craving for dog biscuits.
Oh, nah, man.
Dog biscuits?
Mm.
What?
She said she has never owned a dog.
She's just got a bag of tux in the pantry.
So she has went out and bought these dog biscuits.
And she's been snacking on them in secret,
keeping it hidden from her husband.
Yeah.
Because she's like, I know it's weird.
It's not like I don't know.
If you don't have a dog, you really would have to hide it.
Yeah.
Because he would think you're hiding a dog from him.
He'd be like, where's the dog? All right you've got one because there's a half eaten bag of dog biscuits in the pantry apparently she got caught
one day yeah and she was had the packet and she was eating them and um the the husband goes oh
what are you eating and she tried to it, but eventually he figured it out
and he's like, have you been buying these to eat them?
And she goes, yes.
How embarrassing.
On craving them.
Someone who I thought about who has told me before
had quite weird cravings when they were pregnant was my mum.
Oh, yeah, okay.
I want to see if she's going to be honest on the air about it, though,
because, Mum, are you there?
Hi, guys.
How are you going?
Good, thanks.
Hey, Mum, we're just talking about pregnancy cravings.
Shut up, you dog.
Oh, God.
A million dogs in the background.
Sounds like my household.
It's fake dog voice.
She just wants to eat the biscuits.
Yeah.
Are you eating dog biscuits, Mum?
I'm thinking about it.
Hey, Mum, I was just
wanting to ask, you've told me before
you had some pretty strange pregnancy
cravings, food-wise.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
What were the things you had a craving for
when you were pregnant?
Well, with you, Brianna, you were the worst.
What was it?
Dirt.
Soil.
Yeah.
Dirt.
I used to sit in the sand pit with Amber.
Yeah.
And all I wanted to do was eat the dirt.
What?
Did you do it?
Wait.
Did you ever do it?
I've never admitted to it, but I am admitting to it.
Wait, did you eat dirt or sand?
Because I feel like those are two different things.
Sand.
Yeah, sorry.
I was in the sand pit, so there's a big difference.
Yeah, sand wouldn't have quenched your dirt craving, though, would it?
Dirt tastes different.
Yeah, dirt's a...
No.
Sand's harder to chew.
Well, I have to say, guys.
Yeah.
I had the sand right.
Oh, my God, it tasted good.
Well, I don't reckon it did.
I reckon that was the pregnancy.
I reckon it was...
Are you around a sand pit at the moment?
Do you want to go try some again?
No.
I'll tell you what.
If that's an indication of me being pregnant, I'm off.
I don't know where I'm going, but I'm off.
You've had done your fill.
Right.
Well, that explains why you bought that property near the beach, doesn't it?
Exactly.
I'm just drawn to the beach.
No, not you.
Your mum.
Makes a lot of sense. Thanks, Mum. Thanks, Di. I just wanted to clarify that with you. No, not you, your mum. Makes a lot of sense.
Thanks, Mum.
I just wanted to clarify that with you.
Wow, there you go.
She's eating sand.
Yeah, weird cravings.
There'll be weird ones out there.
Yeah, I thought we could ask people, and you can be anonymous,
but I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of.
No, Bree's mum just admitted to eating sand.
Yeah, she was pretty excited about it.
Yeah.
Bree and Clint. Shondre, what was pretty excited about it. Yeah. Brie and Clint.
Shondre, what was the thing that you craved when you were pregnant?
Very, very red, shiny apples and very sour green apples.
Wait, they had to be very, very, very, very red.
Yes.
Interesting.
Right, what if they weren't quite red or shiny enough?
What if they were just a little bit lacklustre?
No, thank you.
Wow, okay.
And what about now that you've had your babies? Do you still have a thing for those kind of apples or it went away?
No, not really.
I also had a craving for cucumber, but I've always loved cucumber, so yeah.
Okay.
Nice and fresh.
At least your cravings were actually edible, you know?
Yeah, just normal things.
Things you could get from the supermarket if you needed to.
Can you imagine going to the supermarket and being like,
where's your best dirt?
Someone on the text machine said, my nana craved sniffing petrol.
Oh, okay.
That's an interesting one.
Right.
Someone else said, I craved vinegar on cornflakes.
It was my pregnancy fave. Wow, that sounds awful. That's a weird one. I wonder if it on cornflakes. It was my pregnancy fave.
Wow, that sounds awful.
That's a weird one.
I wonder if it was balsamic or white.
Or brown.
Or brown for this.
Or apple cider.
Fee's here.
Hi, Fee.
G'day, Fee.
Hiya.
What was a weird thing you craved when you were preggo?
I drank malt vinegar.
Oh, another vinegar one.
I drank vinegar too.
What do you think it was, Fi?
What do you think your body needed that made you want vinegar so bad?
Well, I Googled it years later,
and it's apparently to do with a lack of magnesium.
Magnesium.
Interesting.
Did it wreck your guts, drinking all that vinegar?
I reckon it'd be pretty hard on the stomach.
No, I loved it.
I mean, actually, I quite still like vinegar.
But ironically, my daughter, the first thing she ate was a pickled onion.
Right, okay.
So she likes it.
It always had a savoury taste.
When you say you were drinking malt vinegar, what quantities?
Like how much?
Like a glass of malt vinegar?
Were you shotting it?
Yeah, a glass.
I mean, occasionally I would get hot chips and then I would just soak them.
Yeah, yeah.
They were completely brown.
And soggy.
Delish.
That sounds so yum to me.
Someone on the text machine said, this one is strange.
My best friend used to like licking plasterboard when she was pregnant.
Say another one.
That's like the chalk one.
That's unusual.
My auntie craved and ate coal.
What?
Coal's meant to be quite good for your teeth.
Oh, that's true.
It's got like whitening properties.
What about this one?
They said, I went to the supermarket when I was pregnant
and they had no luncheon, so I got dog roll instead
and I've never gone back.
Oh, she must mean the dog roll luncheon,
like a chub luncheon,
like a roll of,
surely she doesn't mean the actual dog roll.
No, so you know like luncheon,
obviously there's the human one.
No, I know luncheon, yeah.
You can get that for the dogs.
No, but you can get a roll of luncheon
that looks like dog roll.
Surely she means like Hutton's human luncheon.
I think she means dog roll.
Nah, she's not eating dog roll.
I think she's eating dog roll.
She's not eating dog roll post-pregnancy. It's cheaper.
Nah, she's not. It's cheaper. Someone said I
craved washing powder but not mouthfuls of it.
Just dip my finger in and taste it.
Oh, what? Finally,
Ashley, weird pregnancy cravings. What was
yours? I'm 32
weeks pregnant right now.
What are you craving? I'm craving
cigarettes. Like, I want to eat them.
Oh, not smoke them. You want to eat
them. Yeah. And it was the same with my daughter. I used to, I had a pack that I would just sniff.
What do, are you a smoker? No. You ever been a smoker? No. Never been a smoker. But you want to
eat cigarettes. Yes. All the time. That is weird. Have you Googled like what that could mean? Yeah,
there's like,
it's the same,
it's like,
I guess,
deficiencies
and I'm iron deficient
so I'm like baby,
but.
Yeah.
Have you tried,
have you tried dirt?
No,
not yet.
Have you tried,
have you tried vaping?
Oh my God,
no.
Don't,
yeah,
don't eat a vape.
That wouldn't be good
coming out. Eight weeks to go, Ashley. Hold on, right? Hold on. You can eat a vape. That wouldn't be good coming out.
Eight weeks to go, Ashley.
Hold on, all right?
Hold on.
You can do it, Ashley.
All right.
Bree and Clint.
Next on the show.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, first it was Ronda Rousey to go from UFC to the big screen.
Who is the other UFC star that is now following in her footsteps?
This is major.
Conor McGregor, guys, is going to be starring alongside
Jack Gyllenhaal in a reboot of the movie called Roadhouse.
It's like the 80s or something.
It obviously is about a UFC star that has to work at this roadhouse,
says the name.
Also, I just went to call him Ewan McGregor.
That's when you know you're gay.
Yeah.
I went to call him McGregor.
Ewan McGregor.
That's when you know you're gay.
Did you know they're brothers, Dean?
Is that serious or are you lying?
No, you're lying.
I'm joking.
Don't rock Dean's world like that, okay?
That is not fair.
Good that Conor McGregor doesn't have to go too far outside what he's used to.
He's going to play a UFC star.
Yeah.
Because I'm not sure the guy can act.
Well, here's the thing.
The great thing is they're not making him play himself.
I always cringe when movies have a star that plays himself.
I know.
Kind of weird.
He will not be playing himself.
He will be playing a fighter, but it won't be him.
Thank goodness.
Because I think it's weird.
But how awesome.
And Jake Gyllenhaal, this is major.
Yeah, I mean, Jake Gyllenhaal, big names.
And it's interesting to hear that it is going to be a movie about that
because I feel like I'm a bit more on board now.
You'll watch it to see what he's like.
Yeah, totally.
Like if Conor McGregor was playing, you know,
a business analyst that was from New York City,
I'd probably be like, oh, I don't know.
It's a good move.
There's only so many times you can get hit in the head for a million dollars, right?
So you've got to start doing other things still for a million dollars,
but you've got to start broaching out.
There you go. That's the latest on
Conor McGregor, not
Ewan McGregor. His brother, yeah.
On ZM with Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood
correspondent.
You might remember the comedian
Dane Cook. He was pretty big.
He was big in the 2000s, eh?
Yeah, he was doing movies,
massive stand-up shows. He did the movie Good Luck Chuck. He was one in the 2000s, eh? Yeah, he was doing movies, massive stand-up shows.
He did the movie Good Luck Chuck.
He was one of the first celebrities to really take advantage of MySpace.
That's how I remember Dane Cock.
Big on MySpace.
Anyway, he's in the news today because he has gotten engaged to his girlfriend.
Oh, good.
Congratulations, Dane Cook.
But the thing that people are mainly talking about is the age gap between the couple.
Right.
So Dane Cook, which I was shocked at this, he's 50.
Is he?
I wouldn't have thought he would be that old.
Well, I guess he definitely looked like he was in his 30s in the 2000s.
Well, that's true.
This happens, eh? People do age.s. Well, that's true. This happens, eh?
People do age.
Yeah.
Well, he's 50, and his girlfriend that he has gotten engaged to is 23.
And so, I mean, do the math, carry the one.
That's a 27-year age gap.
It's quite a lot.
Do you want me to do the formula on Dane Cook?
Oh, yeah, Do the formula thing. So the formula is the one you use to find out what the youngest you can date is.
Yeah.
Okay.
So Dane Cook is 50.
So we half his age.
25.
25 plus 7.
32.
That's how young he can go.
He could date me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You are the youngest person Dane Cook could date,
according to the formula.
If you want to do the formula on yourself, by the way,
half your age plus seven.
Should we do you?
Okay, yeah.
What's the youngest?
32 divided by two is 16 plus seven.
You can date Dane Cook's fiance.
23.
That's how young you can go.
Look out, Dane Cook.
She's in my age range.
I'm coming for your missus 23 i could never picture myself
dating a 23 so is that too young for you i think so yeah 32 23 is too young for you i think so but
at 50 23 is not too young for dane well turns out no what do you think would be like hypothetically
too young for you what do you do yours do the the method or
whatever you call it okay um so 30 yesh divided by two 17.5 plus seven 24 and a half 24 and a half
i could not date a 24 year old can you imagine i'd be like do you know have you ever heard of
the spice girls yeah no that i'm more thinking about them than me.
They'd go, you've got a couple of kids.
Yeah, well, I mean, you're in that.
I'm 24.
I'm trying to go to Rhythm and Vine, not look after your kids.
And Clint's like, my back hurts.
Can we get a family campsite?
Can we get a family wagon?
Can my ex-wife come so that someone else can look after the kids
while I rage? Not divorced, by the way. That's
just in this hypothetical where I'm dating a 24
year old. I don't have an ex-wife. If my wife's listening,
I love you. This went too far. What about that other
ex-wife of yours? We don't talk about her.
Oh yeah, she doesn't listen to the show anymore.
Hey, because that's a great
point. It's interesting to put ourselves
because I mean, I don't think I could ever
date, you know, just because. Well, you just don't think I could ever date. You know just because. Well you just
you just don't feel like you'd be able to relate
to them. I just wonder what Dane Cook
at 50 and his 23 year old
What they have in common.
She was. Yeah. What they
talk about. She didn't have MySpace. She doesn't
she's never seen Good Luck Chuck.
No. Well he's probably
showed it to her. He's like hey
you want to come watch this movie? Don't watch some more of my highlights. Jennifer G he's probably showed it to her. He's like, hey, you want to come watch this movie?
Don't watch some more of my highlights.
Jennifer Garner's in it.
Kate Hudson.
Oh, Kate.
Good luck, Chuck.
Oh, and good luck, Chuck.
I think Jennifer Garner's in that one.
But yeah, he did that other movie with Kate Hudson.
I thought we could ask.
Jessica Alba.
Oh, Jessica Alba's in it.
She's in Good Luck, Chuck.
Yeah.
And then you get on the topic of, have you seen the movie Honey,
the dancing one?
And she goes, no.
Do you know Dark Angel?
Let's ask people.
It's a classic, but I love it.
Yeah.
What is the age gap of someone you know?
The couple's age gap, how big is it?
And you can call us 0800DIALZM or you can text us on 9696.
You can remain anonymous.
Yeah, is Dad's new girlfriend younger than you?
Bree and Clint.
Gee, some people are going to go to another radio station,
it seems, at the moment.
Yeah, we're upsetting a few people because we're talking age gaps.
Age gap love.
Age gap love.
Dane Cook, the comedian, you might have seen him on that movie,
Good Luck Chuck.
He was massive in the 2000s.
He's in the news today because he got engaged to his girlfriend.
He's 50.
She's 23.
It's a 27-year age gap.
It's not the worst age gap anyone's ever talked about,
but it's still, I think it becomes quite jarring
when the person is less than half your age.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just, I mean, there's so many texts coming through on this.
This one text I've just sent out of the corner of my eye.
Someone said, my dad is 72.
His lovely wife is 42.
My stepmom, they've been married for 16 years.
Wow.
Their marriage works well for the most part.
I'm 49 and my sister is 51 and my brother's 47, each to their own.
But for some, it just works.
So you're all older than your stepmom?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not saying it can't work.
No, no, no.
That's not what we're saying.
Not saying it can't work.
No.
There's definitely relationships that can work and do work.
Doesn't mean we can't talk about it.
Let's start with Juanita.
Kia ora, Juanita. Hi, Juanita.
Hi.
Is it you that's in a
age gap love?
Nah, my mum and my
dad, their age gap was
22 years.
Who was older, mum or dad?
Dad. Dad was 22
years older. Yeah.
Okay. Right, and how did you feel about it, Juanita?
I wasn't born at the time.
My dad had four adult kids, a couple of them older than my mother when he met her.
Whoa.
Right, right.
It would be a bit strange for the kids if their dad's new partner is younger than them.
Yeah.
It would be strange. Especially if she's trying to discipline them. Yeah. It would be strange.
Especially if she's trying to discipline you.
Yeah.
You're like, I'm 35, okay?
Yeah, I'm way older.
And you're at university.
Stop trying to give me life advice.
Thanks, Juanita.
Let's go to Simone.
Kia ora, Simone.
Hi, Simone.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Who's the age gap love, Simone?
So it's myself and my partner.
Okay.
For 14 years.
All right, 14 years. Who's older? I am. Good. Yeah, nice, Simone? Oh, so it's myself and my partner for 14 years. Alright, 14 years. Who's older? I am.
Good. Yeah, nice, Simone. Finally, one of those stories where it's the other
way around. Simone the cougar. How did you guys meet, Simone?
Bumble, modern love story. Oh yeah, cool.
And have you guys, like in your relationship when you first got together, did you ever
talk about like the age gap?
Oh, absolutely.
So my eldest son was, or at the time, he was two years younger than Matthew.
Yeah.
Right.
So, oh, wait, okay.
Right.
I'm doing some mental arithmetic here.
So did you have your son when you were 16?
Yeah.
Okay, all right, all right. So your partner's your son when you were 16? Yeah. Okay, alright, alright. So your
partner's, yeah, okay. Interesting. I want to know, Simone, how, what was the age range set to on your
bumble? Yeah. Well, actually I had it down to 30, so I'm 40 at the moment. So yeah, it was 30 and I was just,
I had very high energy and I was just finding that people weren't able to keep up with me.
Fair enough, Simone. I mean, 14
years is very, I feel like,
quite different to 27 years.
So you're 40. Is he 26?
Yeah, he is. And does he take you to the
parties with his 26-year-old mates?
Oh, yeah. So I look and probably
act younger than
40. Yeah, right. For the majority of my
friends are, you know, early 30s.
Have you had to teach him
certain things?
What, a landline?
Well, it's actually quite
funny because I am an educator.
But yeah, it's great.
I'm his first proper relationship
and it's going well.
Good on you for breaking the mould, Simone.
Thank you.
The conversation is so low today.
Yeah, there's so many texts coming through on this as well.
Someone said, my wife is 15 years younger than me.
She's 51 and we've been together since she was 25.
Right.
Yeah, so that's similar to Simone, 15, 14 year age gap.
My daughter's friend is 19 and her partner is 56.
No.
No, that's yuck.
That's a no.
That is a no.
This person's anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Yeah, how you going?
Good, thanks.
Is it you that's in the age gap, love?
It was for a wee while, just last year.
Were you dating an older woman, anonymous?
No, 10 years younger, which doesn't seem all that bad,
but it kind of got a bit awkward and weird when she started pointing out that the age gap between me and her was the same as
me and my oldest, her and my oldest son.
Oh.
Oh, so she was 10 years older than your son and you were 10 years older than her?
Yeah.
That doesn't seem hugely relevant to me.
That's fine, I think.
Sounds like she was looking for a way out of the relationship, Anonymous.
Yeah, possibly. You sit around at the dinner table
and you get those awkward conversations where you're like, oh, well, you were 20
when I was 10, and it sounds really, really bad when you put it that way.
Well, that does, but I mean, it's all in context, you know.
I think 10 years is fine. Yeah, 10 years isn't all that
bad. It's just the awkward comments that come with it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know what you mean.
I know what you mean.
So really what this is, it's not a case of age.
It's a case of maturity, right?
You need to be the same level of maturity.
Yeah.
Well, the thing is she wasn't actually that bad.
Like she was pretty mature for her age.
It's just when you started getting around with other people that she knew.
Yeah.
Plus you couldn't do all the TikTok dances that she wanted to do.
No, no.
I wasn't any good at that.
You were really bad for her algorithm.
Anonymous is like,
what is this TikTok platform you're talking about?
At the end of the day,
we don't really know what we're talking about.
It's just a feeling, you know?
But I reckon half your age plus seven.
Stick to that rule.
Should be okay.
Bree and Clint.
Time for a game of What's the Plot, everybody.
Call ZM now to play Bree and Clint's What's the Plot.
I have to play that one.
The right one is gone, I've just realised.
Oh, no.
But that's okay.
We can play with that.
Claude can look for the correct intro while we bring James on.
Afternoon, James.
G'day, James.
Good afternoon.
How are you going?
Very well, James.
How are you?
How do you go at this game in the car, James?
Oh, not too bad, not too bad.
But my family have constantly been telling me I should have a go at it.
Oh, okay.
I like when you've got that reassurance from people that know you best.
Yes, maybe false hope, but anyway.
Who knows?
Let's do this.
Here we go.
Let's bring this in.
James, today's What's the Plot theme is movies with songs that went to number one in the charts.
Okay.
Right.
Your buzzer is your name.
Don't wait for me to finish the plot line before you buzz in, either of you.
And first of you to get two correct wins.
If it's you, James, you get $450 cash thanks to KFC.
Okay.
Here we go.
Good luck to both of you.
First movie.
The big song.
Iconic song.
Huge song.
A trio of elite private investigators armed with the latest high-tech tools.
Brie.
Charlie's Angels, Independent Woman.
Charlie's Angels.
You didn't need to give me the song, but you did.
Independent Woman is correct.
Well done.
That was fast.
That was faster than I thought it would be for that one.
Yeah, that one just...
I think the clue of songs that have gone to number one
from the movie is quite a big clue.
That was tough, wasn't it, James?
It was.
It's probably a bit later than all the number ones I know from the 80s and 90s.
Come on, James, you've got this.
I've got it.
I believe in you.
Let's go again.
But I'm not going to give it to you.
No, I understand.
This one's from your era, James.
Excellent.
Sam is a banker.
Molly is an artist.
And the two are madly in love.
However, when Sam is murdered by a friend and corrupt business banker...
Bree!
Bree.
It's Ghost.
It is Ghost.
For no extra points, can you name the song?
Untamed Melody.
Oh, we've got to give a point to James as well.
Nice work.
You knew that one, didn't you, James?
I did, but I was thinking bloody City of Angels to start with.
I was with the Goo Goo Dolls.
True.
Yeah, true.
Should we go third movie? I reckon we've got to start with. It's a goo-goo doll. Yeah, true. Should we go third movie?
I reckon we've got to go third.
James, I've never done this before, but I'm going to say you deserve it.
I appreciate it.
Let's go third movie.
So, just so we're clear, by going third movie, we're putting it all on the line.
Yes.
This is winner takes all.
Why not?
Okay.
James sounds like a worthy opponent.
Winner takes all.
May the best man win.
Here we go.
Oh, no, I could regret this massively.
I've just realised what I've done.
$450, James.
Okay.
Movies with songs that went to number one.
A young Englishman in the Paris of...
Free! Moulin Rouge! Lady Marmalade!
Moulin Rouge is correct.
Well done.
Too good.
One of my favourite movies too, damn it.
Such a good film.
Ewan McGregor.
Ewan McGregor.
We talked about him earlier in the show.
Hey, James, that was bloody good.
That was so good, James.
We're going to get you 50 KFC chicken dollars as a consolation prize.
Thank you very much, guys. No worries. We appreciate you 50 KFC chicken dollars as a consolation prize. Thank you very much, guys.
No worries.
We appreciate you playing.
He was good.
He was in it.
Good theme, too.
That was all producer Claude.
Very good theme, Claude.
Loved it.
Bree and Clint.
Clint, do you remember the first age, the first time you found a grey hair, how old you were?
Yeah.
I don't know specifically.
I think it was about 31.
Puber on your head.
Head.
Just had to clarify.
Not paying enough attention down there.
Yeah, right.
I didn't find it either.
You very rarely find your own grey hair as a man.
Yeah, who found it?
My wife, Lucy.
Right.
Yeah.
So you were about 31, you reckon?
Yeah.
That's pretty late.
Is it?
I reckon.
Yeah. I remember. I found Is it? I reckon. Yeah.
I remember.
I found my first grey beard here this week.
Oh.
And by beard, do you mean?
No, not pubes.
Face.
Just checking.
Face pubes.
Very similar.
You know what that means.
You know what they say.
If you find one in your beard, you're most likely to have one in your bush.
That's next, I guess.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember the first time I ever found a grey hair.
I remember it vividly.
I was about to catch a bus.
I was in Sydney.
I remember exactly where I was.
And I think I was there for Mardi Gras.
And I would have been about 28.
And a friend of mine, we were sitting waiting for the bus,
and my friend goes, oh, my God, I think you've got a grey hair.
And I was like, no.
Yeah.
And I was devastated to learn that she was, in fact, correct.
Who's the youngest member of our team?
Is it Claude?
Yeah, I believe it would be Claudia, yes.
You're the youngest person on the team, Claudia?
How old are you?
I mean, today I might be.
I'm 29.
29.
You found any grey hairs yet? I found one that was years and years ago, and I found nothing since. Claudia, how old are you? I mean, today I might be. I'm 29. 29. You found any grey hairs yet?
I found one. It was years and years ago
and I found nothing since.
I checked. She got right in there.
I checked both the producers before the show.
Did you? Yes. Like a monkey looking for fleas.
Literally. That's what it felt like.
It was quite nice, actually. So, Claude's 29,
no grey hairs, and fill-in
producer Megan, you are
30, and she doesn't have any grey hairs either.
Nah, she did check me before as well.
Yeah.
Or she's dyeing them.
Or that.
Yeah.
And I've got balayage, so it's down the bottom,
not up the top.
Look, there's an article, the reason why I'm asking,
there's an article that's come out
and it's from, I believe, a top hairstylist
and they're talking about why you should never pluck out your grey hairs
because I do this.
There's the old wives' tale that you pluck it out
and two grow back in its place.
Right.
So a lot of people think that.
So it actually talks about that myth
and this hairstylist said, no, that is not true.
Right.
It's actually pretty much the opposite as to why you shouldn't be plucking grey hairs.
Right.
So did you know that it's normal to lose about up to 159 hairs a day?
A day?
A day.
Is that across your whole body or just from your head?
I don't know.
I feel like they're talking about hair.
So essentially this stylist said that if you're plucking out those grey hairs,
you're pulling out more hair than what you're supposed to be losing.
Oh, that hair's not ready to come out.
Exactly.
And you can get infections from pulling out hairs.
And the hair follicle.
Yep, you can traumatise the hair follicle where it doesn't grow back.
Right.
And you can end up with bald patches.
Poor hair follicle.
I know.
So traumatised.
So that's the reason why you shouldn't pluck them out.
Bald people are listening to us right now going,
don't pluck them.
What I wouldn't give for a couple of extra strands.
Keep them for as long as you can.
You know what a privilege it is to have hair
to pluck out, I guess.
Yeah.
They said the best thing to do
if you don't like them
is to dye it.
Right.
If you don't like it.
Or just accept it.
Just lean into it.
Or that.
It's 2022, baby.
Unless it's downstairs,
you can...
Oh, you can shave that off.
You can shave it off.
Bree and Clint.
Get ready.

Shout out to everyone
who came and partied
with us at the Lula Inn
last night
for the Love Island finale.
No spoilers though.
Yeah, no spoilers.
I filmed the winning bit.
I'm just going to put it
on my Instagram.
I put it on mine.
Did you?
Yeah, I put spoiler alert
on it though.
Oh, they'll do it.
Yeah.
You'll be sweet.
I haven't got any angry inboxes yet. It's good fun. Love Island finale.
Well, it's good fun. Thanks if you came down. We should do it somewhere else around the country next time.
Yeah, it'll be fun. Look, I love stories like this and
opening my mind to different things and this story about
this guy has really blown my mind this afternoon. Okay.
He's a 23 year old guy. His name's Henry
Gray. And back in 2009, he got diagnosed with something called lexical gustatory synesthesia.
Right. So this is a form of synesthesia. Yes. So essentially, it's a condition that blurs the senses together,
meaning that he can often smell, taste or feel whilst hearing.
Yeah.
He can smell what he hears.
Yeah.
So it's a mixture of taste, smell, feel whilst he's hearing someone speak.
My wife has a form of synesthesia.
She associates numbers
with colours. Yeah, right.
Because Lorde has it too. She sees
colours, doesn't she? No, so
she hears colours.
She hears colours. She has the same as
Kanye. Music to her
and musical notes and sounds
are colours. Same with
Charli XCX, I believe, too.
A few people have got
it yeah quite amazing quite interesting i've never heard of this particular one though um we've got
a clip of henry talking about yeah the first time he realized because for him it was always just
normal yeah but the first time he realized that um he was different as early back as i can remember
i've always got something with names.
I just thought it was normal.
I think it was about when I was about nine or ten,
that was when I first was told
that this was something that no one else had.
He can smell names.
It's quite a superpower.
I want to know what my name smells like.
So, I've also got a clip of him talking about certain names
and he describes what they taste like or what they smell like to him
and it's very specific, take a listen
My own name, Henry, has always been a kind of
I imagine it being white bread, no crusts
so it's something like cheese and lettuce inside of it and it's wrapped in cling film
and it's slightly squashed in a lunchbox.
Bailey tastes like warm milk.
I love Nile because Nile smells like a fresh tennis ball.
Like Francesca, it's like silky smooth, kind of chocolatey iced frappuccino.
Kirstie's horrible.
It smells like a faint sort of urine smell.
Oh, poor Kirstie.
Right?
Kirstie's awful.
She smells like urine.
So he said he's never been able to be friends with or date a Kirsty
because it smells like weed.
It smells like piss.
So he actually described there was a time where he got put into a room
at university, like in the halls where they have to live.
Yeah.
And it was with three flatmates, Duncan, Kirsty and Elijah,
and he said, I had to change accommodation
because they are some of the worst names for me.
Duncan is like a bird dipped in smoky bacon crisps.
Kirstie is a urine smell and Elijah is like licking an eyeball.
That's so specific.
It's so specific.
These things are so...
I would pay him to tell me what my name's spelled.
So, you wouldn't believe this.
So, on the article, it was also included his favourite names
and then his not-so-favourite names.
So, let's go through some of them.
For him, Abby is one of his favourites
because it smells like orange hubba-bubba.
Nice.
Hayley, faint soft music, he described it as.
That's not a smell.
Yeah, no, but it's a feeling.
Like it's a feeling, smell or taste for him.
Mitchell, stretchy cheesy shell pasta.
Yum.
Martin, tastes like Smarties.
Okay.
So let's go into the worst ones.
These are the ones that he can't deal with.
Mary, to him, smells like a pile of unwashed pink bedsheets
faintly smelling a bit damp.
Oh, yuck.
That's what he said.
Natalie is like broken wooden splinters in his mouth.
Right.
But let's get to the guy ones because you wouldn't believe it.
Your name's on here.
Really?
Do you want to know yours?
Yes.
Okay, let's just, I mean, some of the ones are quite bad.
Dylan, for him, smells like a toilet seat.
Gross.
Teddy is beige, unwashed underwear.
That's not good.
Your name's on the list.
Is it really?
It's on the list.
Yeah.
He said Clint, for him, it's a smell. Yeah. really it's on the list yeah he said clint for him it's a smell
yeah and it smells like an underwater fart it does not
it does not you're so full of shit i can't believe i like you take me so far down this track
you were so invested why can I smell it? Why can I
Why can I kind of like
Screw you
That was good stuff
That was good
This seemed extremely rare
I think it's super rare
And you want to define someone, I don't know if we will
I reckon we will
This is quite a fascinating conversation
to me.
I just remembered what I have.
It's Amphantasia.
Oh, is that what it is?
Yeah.
It's where, which I mean, we're talking about synesthesia type of things.
Yeah, yeah.
Amphantasia is where if you close your eyes and I tell you to picture a horse and a cowboy's riding on the horse.
Yeah.
And then if you open your eyes, what color was the horse? Yeah. And if you can tell me, oh, it was a black horse or it was a brown horse. It was brown riding on the horse. Yeah. And then if you open your eyes, what colour was the horse?
Yeah.
And if you can tell me, oh, it was a black horse or it was a brown horse.
It was brown, by the way.
Yeah.
Yeah, see, I can't picture anything.
You can't?
I can't, yeah, I can't imagine any.
Does that mean you don't have an imagination?
It actually, they reckon, is most people that have it are more creative.
Right.
I don't know why, but quite a few people have it.
Yeah.
And trypophobia.
And I've got trypophobia.
Mate, I'm just messed up.
But we're not talking about that.
And gonorrhea.
No, you've got syphilis.
And diarrhea.
Well, I mean, that's not all the way.
I mean, that's pretty true.
Look, we're talking about this guy called Henry Gray
who has a condition called lexical gustatory synesthesia,
which is essentially a condition that blurs his senses altogether,
meaning he can often smell, taste or feel words.
Names specifically.
Yeah.
People's names have a smell to them.
Exactly. Fascinating. So, for
example, Kirsty, to
him, smells like wee. Watching
the Olympics would be like a buffet, wouldn't
it? Yeah. Every name
that came up, watching the track and field,
you'd be like, oh my god,
this is way too much. It's quite
amazing. We're asking this afternoon
on 0800DIALZM,
do you have any kind of thing like this?
Nikki's called up.
Hi, Nikki.
Hi, Nikki.
Hi, how are you?
What's your thing?
What are you got?
I've got the same thing that Brie has, actually,
now that you mention it.
But my daughter has anesthesia.
So she, like, numbers and letters have colours associated with them. Right. Yeah, cool. And how did you
realise, when was the first time you realised she could do that?
So that was, like, around about when she started primary school, when she was about
six-ish. Yeah, because, like, we, you know,
she'd write something and we'd be like, what colour is that? And she'd go, yellow. And we're like, no, the whole
thing's written in black. Right. This one's yellow And she'd go yellow. And we're like, no, the whole thing's written in black.
Right.
This one's yellow, this one's grey.
And we're like, oh, okay.
You just thought she was dumb for a bit,
but actually she's got a superpower.
Oh, I thought she was having me on, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's amazing, Nikki.
Have you enrolled her in art school or anything like that?
Oh, yeah, she's super artistic, yeah.
Yeah, incredible.
Yeah, she does animation and that sort of thing.
It's amazing.
Wow, that's so cool.
Okay, cool.
Thank you, Nikki. That's really interesting. Melanie's here. Hi, Melanie. Hi, it does animation. That sort of thing is amazing. Wow, that's so cool. Okay, cool. Thank you, Nikki.
That's really interesting.
Melanie's here.
Hi, Melanie.
Hi, Mel.
Hi.
What's your superpower?
Is yours a synesthesia of sorts?
It is a synesthesia of sorts.
So I see all sound as colour and I can never remember songs.
I only remember them as pictures or moving colours.
You're like Lorde.
That's like what Lorde has.
So that Ed Sheeran song that was playing while you were on hold. Yes. What were the pictures or the colours. You're like Lorde. That's like what Lorde has. So that Ed Sheeran song that was playing
while you were on hold,
what were the pictures or the colours?
I'm going to say it was green.
Ah, it was more sort of a swilly orange.
Oh, right.
I knew it was orange.
I did.
Okay.
I did know it was orange.
I believe you.
I believe you.
Oh, well, try me.
Try me again.
Okay, Mel.
Okay, let's play a song.
Yeah, okay, hang on. And we'll see what Mel says because I believe Mel can. Oh, well, try me. Try me again. Okay, Mel. Okay, let's play a song. Yeah, okay, hang on.
And we'll see what Mel says
because I believe Mel can.
Okay, hang on.
Let me bring one up
and we'll do it together, Mel.
Sounds good.
Sounds good.
Let's go another Ed Sheeran song, okay?
Because it's not all Ed Sheeran, right?
They're all different.
Absolutely.
Every song will be different.
Here's an Ed Sheeran song.
I got it straight away I've got it
I reckon I can do it now
That was blue
That's what I thought
That was blue
That's what I thought too
Was it blue?
Slightly more lilac
But yes
With a little bit of white
Going through it
Right
That's what I was going to say
Like a swirly blue colour
Producer Claude said blue too
I was going for like a blue purple
Okay maybe that was an easy one
Should we do another one together?
Do this in the car with us as well. We'll
say what we think it is and then our synesthesiac
on the line, Melanie, will tell us
whether we're correct or not. Give me
an artist. Ariana Grande.
Ariana Grande. Oh, good one.
Like Seven Rings or something.
Hang on a second. Where's some
Ariana? Hey Google,
put on some Ariana Grande.
Melanie's like, I didn't call up to be your bloody personal song checker.
Okay, here it comes.
Here comes Samari.
I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
I know what it is.
Struggling with this one.
Let's wait for Brie to lock it in.
Have you got it yet?
Okay, I think I got it.
That is a fiery red and orange
That's
For me
I was going to say red
Red
Mel
I get gold
Gold
Gold
But like
But like of
But there's gold and flames
And I said fire
Stop trying to push it
Yeah that's close enough
It's close enough
I'll give you that one
Fascinating Mel
I'm special too
Okay thanks Mel That was So interesting Really interesting Are we going to Stephanie? We're going to go one more Close enough. It's close enough. I'll give you that one. Fascinating, Mel. I'm special too. Okay, thanks, Mel.
That was...
So interesting.
Really interesting.
Are we going to Stephanie?
We're going to go one more.
Hi, Stephanie.
Hi, Steph.
Hey.
What's your superpower, Stephanie?
I have calendar synesthesia.
Calendar synesthesia.
What's that mean?
Yeah.
So I can see, depending on what month I'm in,
so we're in August now, so my months, like, I can see, depending on what month I'm in, so we're in August now, so my months, I can see them in an oblong shape and it goes anti-clockwise.
And I can see in a month when things have happened or when things are going to happen.
So if somebody's birthday is coming up, I can point out in front of me to where it should be.
Oh my God, that is fascinating.
And I can see the weeks and I can see the days.
Can you see it in the past?
Can you see it retrospectively as well?
Yeah, but it's not like predicting.
It's more like I can see when events should happen on the calendar.
Like Christmas is the end of the oblong.
Yeah, you can see a timeline yeah totally
that's so interesting and like something that she would have always you would have
stiff just being like oh this is just normal yeah but eventually you realize i didn't realize until
last year because my husband and i were having a conversation and he couldn't understand how i
could remember that we did certain things in certain months.
And I was using my fingers to point to the months.
And he was like, what are you doing?
And then we discovered that he couldn't do it.
And it was me that was the weirdo.
How long have you and your husband been together?
15 years.
And you just figured it out.
That is incredible.
I love it.
There you go.
I'm just fascinated.
Someone on the text machine, because you did ask before,
I want someone to tell me what my name smells like.
Yes, please.
Someone on the text machine just texted through and they said,
the name Clint for me smells like wet earwax.
I'm just reading out the text.
It's on the text machine.
Yeah, thanks for that text.
I think still more. We've got a prize for text of the day, actually.
I think still more underwater fart for me.
It goes to somebody else.
Bree and Clint.
Time for a birthday banger.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Right, I'm keen for a fast one.
And that beat one.
That's what we want for a Thursday.
That's what she said.
Huh?
No, I don't think she ever said that. Keen for a beat one. That's what we want for a Thursday. That's what she said. Huh? No, I don't think she ever said that.
Came for a fast one.
I think that's what you think in your mind and you hope she says.
Okay, this is what we'll take your birthdays.
We'll figure out what was number one on your 16th
and then we'll play our favourite one.
We'll start with Gemma.
Hi, Gemma.
G'day, Gemma.

That's an exciting weekend.
What's your birthday?
My birthday is the 24th of April, 1992.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2008.
And on the 24th of April in 2008, this would have been number one.
We only got four minutes to save the world.
No hesitating.
Level the cracker.
Madge and JT, four minutes to save the world.
Is this a banger, Gemma?
Absolute banger.
I love it.
Absolute banger.
That is a banger.
Is this the era where Madonna was, she did a song with Britney
and then she did a song with Justin Timberlake?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That means you were 16 in 2016.
And on your 16th birthday, this had a number one hit.

What do you think, Louis?
You know what?
That's actually not bad.
I'm pretty happy with that.
That's a good Drake song.

Oh, no, just some relaxing.
Nice. That sounds like my favourite type of weekend.
Kylie, what's your birthday, mate?
Mine's October 22nd,
1979. Right, that means you
were 16 in 1995.
And on your 16th
birthday, this would have been number one.
Huge!
Shaggy!
Shaggy!
It's a banger, alright. You're a shaggy. Shaggy. It's a banger.
It's a banger, all right.
You're a Shaggy fan, Kylie?
I am.
I am.
Me too. Iconic.
Me too.
He's iconic.
This song is timeless as well.
I vote for it.
I reckon Kylie needs to win birthday banger this afternoon.
Oh, no.
I'm tossing up.
Do you agree, Kylie?
Yeah, no, I agree.
She's influenceable at the moment.
You were looking for one of those?
Yeah, that's an upbeat one.
That's what you said.
You want an upbeat one.
Oh, yep.
I do like that Madonna song.
Then vote for it.
Nah, I'm voting for Shaggy.
She's such a rubber arm, eh, Kylie?
I feel relieved.
Such a rubber arm.
Hey, well done.
You just won birthday banger., eh, Kylie? I feel relieved. Such a rubber arm. Hey, well done. You just won birthday banger.
Nice work, Kylie.
Have a good weekend relaxing, mate.
Brian Clint, straight out of 1995.
Here's your birthday banger.
Zit him. What is he talking about?
I never know what he's talking about.
I don't care.
Because it's just fun to listen to.
That's Shaggy.
He's your winner of Birthday Banger today, Mr. Boombuster.
Love Shaggy.
What's going on?
It's time to find out how good an athlete Brie is in her 30s, everybody.
I already know the answer to this.
Not a good one.
I saw you post this on your Instagram story today.
It's a screenshot of your athletics records from when you were 10 years old.
Well, 10, 11, 12, I've got a bunch of records, mate.
Don't forget about those.
I peaked early in my athletic career.
Is this the peak?
That was the peak.
10, 11, 12.
10, 11, 12 was my peak.
And look, I was my peak.
And look, I'll be honest, I was pretty decent at athletics.
I'm looking at some of the numbers that are here.
It's from your school, these stats that have been shared,
your school back in Australia.
Yeah, it's actually the Granite Belt region.
Is it?
Yes.
You're a district champion.
I'm a district champion.
10 years old, Bree long jumped 4.25 metres.
That sounds pretty decent, especially for a 10 year old. It does sound good, eh?
At the age of 12, you long jumped
4.64 metres.
Damn! Today,
how far did you long jump?
We found the longest run up we could, which
was between a bunch of the desks in the ZM
office, and you
gave it a go.
I just gave it a whirl, put in 110%. I think I've broken my heel in, you know,
but it doesn't matter.
Let's have a listen to the jump first,
and then we'll see how you win.
We've marked it out.
What record are you trying to beat?
Because you've got the 11-year-old record.
I've got the 10, the 11, and the 12.
Surely you're trying to beat the 12-year-old record.
No, let's go 10. The 12's too long.
I'll meet you halfway. You need to beat your
11 year old record. That's pretty
far. I think it's 4 metres
40 something. Or 50.
I can't remember. Did you do it in the alleyway
of an office building when you were 11
years old too? No, it was better conditions
but, you know, true athletes
never blame the conditions.
So. Well, I've got a measuring tape.
You've got some Air Force Ones on.
And some linen pants that could rip in the crotch.
A 20-something-year-old record.
Can I still do it as a 32-year-old?
It sounds real sad if I can't.
Let's start a slow clap.
More, more, more!
She's up.
The results
are in.
Oh no, my 20
plus year old record
as a child.
I'm not going to be able to do it. I already
know. I already can tell. Your best jump
of 4.64 metres, age 12.
To equal either of these records, you need to jump 4.25 metres.
Your record from when you were 10.
That's so far.
I was a freak of nature.
You're much taller now, though.
I am taller now, but I'm also a lot heavier.
Brie Thomasel.
Oh, no.
Today, in the ZM Office Long Jump,
you jumped
3.35 metres.
Hey, it's in the threes.
It's in the threes.
I'm happy with that.
In the threes.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The conditions weren't great great It's 25% less
Than you were able to jump
At the age of 12
But it's in the threes
It's in the threes
It's in the threes
It's in the threes
And that's all we're looking for
It's in the threes
You've got to see the video of this
It's on our Instagram story
At the moment
Holy shit
That is sad isn't it
That is sad
So men If you want to outlive women There's something you've got to do Well two things moment. Holy shit, that is sad, isn't it? That is sad. Bree and Clint. So, men,
if you want to outlive women, there's something
you've got to do. Well, two things you've got to
have, actually. So you have to,
are these things you have to own?
Are they products?
No. They're items. No, no.
Let's get the data first.
Okay. According to Stats New Zealand,
this is here in Aotearoa,
life expectancy is 80 years for men.
Right.
80 years flat.
It's not bad.
Not bad, good innings.
Yeah.
And for women, 83.5 years.
Okay, so what are you guys doing with your extra three and a half years?
So you'd say several more years.
Correct.
That's the correct use of the word several.
Crushed it.
It only took you 32 years.
Hey, I'm on the uphill.
Okay, so there's new research out that says men can outlive women.
We can flip those stats around if we have two things.
All right.
There are two things that a man needs.
Common sense.
We laugh, but I reckon that is a big part of.
You know those videos you see, the compilations of why women live longer than men
and then it's just men doing a bunch of dumb shit?
I think having one or both of these things will increase your level of common sense.
So I'll give you one more guess.
What do you have to have?
What do you have to have?
A good beard.
No, not a good beard.
No?
The two things a man needs to live longer than a woman, a wife.
Right.
Or a husband.
And a degree.
Those are the two things.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
I read this-
Well, a wife, technically, I would argue, or a husband, technically, I would argue,
is common sense.
That's what I was saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
Some people call them a handbrake.
The voice of reason.
You know, when you're going to do something stupid, you go,
oh, the old ball and chain doesn't want me to jump off this bridge.
It's like recently when you tried to buy an electric motorbike
and your wife said, absolutely freaking not.
Exactly right.
And by doing so, she increased my life expectancy.
She did.
I read this
enormous article about this i was like why why is it those two things that extend a man's life
expectancy why a degree it's not in there so we have to we have to theorize um i think you're
right about the partner thing i think it makes you think about other people i think it makes you
take better care of yourself but also you are
taken care of you know you're not always caring for yourself there's someone to look after you
as well yeah and you probably eat better because you're not just cooking for yourself yeah and a
lot of the time you're being cooked for as well if you are a man and you're lazy um and you're me
um so so that's probably the partner thing yeah The degree thing The degree thing doesn't make as much sense to me
I think I figured it out
I think if you have a degree
You're less likely to have a job
That requires you to do physical labour
So you don't use up your body as fast
Yeah it's like
You know if you have a degree
You're more likely to have a less
Physically strenuous job
More likely to sit at a desk.
Probably.
Yeah, it's like my dad.
He's been a farmer his entire life.
Yeah.
And in the last like 10 years, he's had a shoulder reconstruction, two knee replacements.
He's about to have a hip replacement.
He had to have an epidural in his back.
Like he's just worked his body physically into the ground.
Yeah, you need to get that man to Ot the ground. You need to get that man to
Otago University. You need to get him a degree.
I've told him for years he should
go back to Polytech. Well, it could
extend his life expectancy. There it is.
A partner and a degree. That's what you need
guys. Get on it.
Get to work.
Friday Jams live
lineup is announced tomorrow morning
at 8am with Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Do not miss that. It's time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, Jennifer Coolidge, who played Stifler's mum in American Pie, is in the news today. Why?
Oh, it's so good.
Watch out.
Look at that.
Here's what's happened, right?
She has come out and done an interview
and talked about how her playing a MILF,
that was what she was called in the movie,
got her some serious dudes.
She actually said that that movie,
it kind of made her the sexiest MILF in the world.
We really did.
She actually playfully said, I don't know how serious it was. I don't know if it was serious or not, but she said this.
She said, I wouldn't have had, she said, oh, what a look at that. I wouldn't have had 200
guys that I've had. I'd have 200 guys less.
200 less guys had I not done that movie. I don't know if she's serious, though.
I thought she was maybe kidding.
I can totally see how she would be being serious.
That was like a pop culture icon, that character.
Yeah.
It pretty much started the term MILF, didn't it?
She's the world's original MILF because the word didn't exist before the movie.
So technically, historically, they'll look back at this in 100 years' time.
She's the world's first MILF.
Exactly, which is pretty, I mean, you know, piece of history.
And hey, Dean, I'm taking the dog, dumbass.
I'm taking the dog, dumbass.
She's so cool.
She's awesome.
If you don't know who that is, she was also in The White Lotus.
As soon as you see her, you go, oh, that lady.
Yeah. You know who we're talking is. She was also in The White Lotus. As soon as you see her, you go, oh, that lady. Yeah.
You know who we're talking about.
Jennifer Coolidge.

Damn.
I haven't played in months.
In your bedroom?
Nah, I play in the lounge room.
With a bowl of chippies?
I'm not allowed to play in the bedroom.
It's banned.
Did your mum tell you off?
