About mermaids Love them And For some reason We were talking about mermaids And she goes There's a mermaid tail At my daycare

And I was like That's cool Are you going to be a mermaid When you get to three years She goes yeah Or a mermaid man And I said Oh a merman She goes yeah a merman She goes be a mermaid when you get to three beers? She goes, yeah, or a mermaid man. And I said, oh, a mer-man.

She goes, yeah, a mer-man. She goes, or a mermaid lady. And I was like, that's just a mermaid. And she was like, what? It's so confusing to her. And then she was like, or a mermaid. Looks around the room to see what she could see. Bike.

She thought she was so crack up. I think comedy. And we laughed. and then she goes, or a mermaid toast. Shit kids are woke these days. She's three and she's always like, it's 2022 dad. I can be a merman if I want to be.

No, a mermaid man. A mermaid man. Yes, of course. And Barnacle Boy? Oh yeah. Barnacle Boy is so gross. Yeah. On that show, he'd always freak me out.

Pass. But I did want to say, Clint, I saw you in dad mode for the first time the other day. Yes, you did. We came to your birthday party. It was amazing. It was amazing seeing Clint, this guy, right here, as a dad. That's fuckwit. Yeah.

You were like bending down. You were like, how do you have this responsibility? With this little child with crocs on. She had pink crocs on. I was like, oh, you're cool. Did it make you want to have children? Yes. I want more.

I want some. Who are you hiding? Ella already wanted children. She's wanted children since she was like 18, I reckon. Yeah, mum's really like, don don't Ella no Does she want you to wait Because some mums are like if that's what you really want Well probably but I'm a mess like I think I've got ADHD And I'm just all over the place like I don't think I should

You know what will really narrow your focus a kid Does your boyfriend want kids early He wants kids but no he wants to wait. Oh, heaven forbid. He's only 22. No, 25. Oh, is he 25? I did my four week OE. I'm ready to pop out some kids. Honestly! You're like,

I'm not getting any younger. No. I want to be a cool young mum. Time's ticking. Anyway, I've got two guinea pigs. Oh, one. Yeah, you are a cool young mum. You are a cool young mum. Such a cool young mum. Got pissed on this morning. Nice. That's parenthood. I know. Yeah. Even though I didn't get pissed

on this morning, so. That's a win. That's a win. No, I'm saying, yeah, I know, I'm saying I've got real kids I'm getting pissed on. Not literally, but metaphorically maybe. I got metaphorically pissed on? I'm getting metaphorically pissed on tonight. Hey! Oh no, pissed. And not metaphorically pissed on I'm getting metaphorically Pissed on tonight Oh no, pissed And not metaphorically

Literally Literally, yeah I was like Champagne Clint's like Champagne showers Champagne showers I'd definitely have to

Pee on myself though If I wanted a champagne shower That happens in an episode Of Sex and the City What, they pee on themselves? No, so she's dating this guy who's like a congressman for New York or something, and his fetish is that he's into people weighing on him.

And in the shower, I can't remember exactly what happens. It's a real weird story. Good place to get into it if you want to start your pee journey. Do it in the shower. What a safe place to... Well, it is a safe space, yeah. When we were kids, me and my sister pissed on my other sister in the shower. Every time you start a sentence with well,

I'm so worried. Oh yeah, we were young. Your sister was at your birthday party and that woman has no filter. I'm sorry. I sat next to her. You think Ella's got no filter? Ella's sister.

That would have been there for about three minutes, and she turned to me and she goes, So, Clint, does working in radio make you feel young? And given I had a toddler on my lap at the time, and to your 18-year-old sister, I must seem fucking ancient. I like a fossil. But that was like the opening question and Ella bless her

goes Lucy you can't you can't say that you can't and she just turns to her and she goes what he must be about 35

and Ella goes you can't don't that is so I'm so sorry he's got a beard so old and she turned to me

and she goes you're 35 aren't ya and I was like I turned to me and she goes, you're 35, aren't you? And I was like, I'm actually exactly 35. She goes, knew it. See? It's fine. And then she asked me about radio as a dying thing. Oh, my God.

Oh, that was the actual first real question. Heavy combo. So, Clint, when do you reckon radio will finally die? What will happen? Probably when your generation kills it off. I was mortified. I'm really sorry about that. Really sorry.

Should we call her and make her apologise? No. No, because I'm scared of what she'll say next. She's too real for me. She's like the be real app in real life. She's honest. I do love people like that, though. Oh, yeah.

I don't know if you'd... I think you'd get along with her. She's honest. I do love people like that though. Oh yeah, I don't know if you'd, I think you'd get along with her. She's so brutally honest. I normally get along with people like that, like a house on fire. Like Dame Susan Devoy calls it how she sees it and her and I got along like a house on fire.

She will come for your side part though. Oh Lucy, she brought that up. To your face. Yeah, that's fine. That's all good. That's what I mean by she has no filter, though. Yeah. She will say it to your face. But see, what she doesn't realise is that us millennials have had time to simmer.

Like, we're older now, so I'm comfortable within myself that she could come at me and I could be like, sleep, that's your opinion. But I'm not changing it. And then come back to the podcast and we'll just complain. And then I'll be like, your sister is a fire. No, just kidding. Okay, have a great weekend, everybody. We'll catch you guys back.

Bree and Clint. Clint, would you say your household is a shoes-off or shoes-on? Interesting, because we've just moved from a house that had wood floors. So has it changed from one house to the next? To a house that has carpet? Nah. Still shoes on. Shoes on house.

So when people come over, keep your shoes on. Oh, just leave them on. Don't worry about it. Just leave them on. Keep your shoes on. Not a big deal. Same with my house. Shoes on. I mean, we've got dogs in the house. Yeah, right. Just bring them on. Don't worry about it. Just leave them on. Keep your shoes on. Not a big deal. Same with my house. Shoes on.

I mean, we've got dogs in the house. Yeah, right. Just bring them on in. Dogs. I've got toddlers. Same, same. I feel like there's just an unspoken understanding that if your shoes are truly grubby, you'll just take them off.

You take them off. If they're muddy. If I'm like, oh, don't worry about it. They go, oh, no, no. These are filthy. I'll take them off. I stepped in dog poo. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I've got to take them off. I stepped in dog poo. Yeah, yeah.

Got to take them off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are staying outside. A woman has spoken out on the internet about her rule, unspoken rule at her house. She said this, I don't think I'm being too unreasonable when I ask my visitors to take their shoes off at my front door. I'm house proud but by no

means a clean freak. Just my personal preference for cleanliness and hygiene reasons as I walk around indoors in my bare feet. Some visitors, particularly friends, are fine with it but some family members or other visitors roll their eyes and seem awkward.

I take my shoes off at other people's houses when I visit them as I like to practice what I preach. I take my shoes off at other people's houses when I visit them as I like to practice what I preach. I take my shoes off when I go to other people's houses. I do. I think it's a mark of respect to take them off or to at least begin to take them off unless they say otherwise. I always ask. I'm like, oh,

do you want me to take my shoes off? Which I don't mind taking my shoes off. This person sounds like a bit of a clean freak though. But then they said they're not. I know they said they're not but in the following in the same breath they talked about the need for hygiene. Yeah.

Plentiness and hygiene reasons. Like I don't even think about your shoes being on as a hygiene issue. I just think oh don't get my house dirty. You know I'm not like the bacteria you will be traipsing into my house. You think about when you're walking around in bare feet. You know, I'm not like the bacteria you will be traipsing into my house. You think about when you're walking around in bare feet. You know the only time I think about that when I'm

walking around in bare feet when I stay in a hotel? Oh. That icks you out. Yeah, a little bit. I don't even think about that ever. Oh, don't you? Some people do though. Well, nice hotels, no. But I've stayed in a few places that... I don't think about my shoes as dirty.

And I think I realised this when I used to work with Guy Williams, who you know as well. Yes. And we went away for work and he freaked out when I opened my suitcase and my shoes that were in my suitcase weren't inside a bag. Oh, they were touching your stuff? I'm the same. Yeah.

And he was like, how? Your shoes are touching your shorts. And I was like, yeah, that's not a big deal to me at all. And he's like, no, that is disgusting. You walk into public toilets in those shoes. Oh, I guess that's true. I mean, I would never have my toothbrush touching my shoe. No, no, no.

No, but like if they're touching my pants, I'm not going to be too worried about it. No, I know. It's funny, eh? Yeah. I mean, I want to ask to be too worried about it. No, I know. It's funny, eh? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I want to ask because I always love this question. I want to ask people, is your house a shoes-on or shoes-off household

and what's the reason? Yeah. And how strict? Yeah, how strict are you? And I really want to get into the psyche where if people grew up in a shoes-off household but grew up in a shoes-off household but now live in a shoes-on household. Or vice versa.

Or vice versa. I'm interested in the couples who have differing opinions. Oh, it calls a rift. Are they shoes-on but you're strictly shoes-off? Be such a rift in the relationship. How does it work with you? Are you shoes-on? Are you shoes-off?

Bree and Clint. Are you a shoes-on or a shoes-off household? Bree and Clint. Are you a shoes on or a shoes off household? Andy's here. Hi, Andy. Hi, Andy. Hey. What goes in your place? 100% shoes on.

Shoes on. And did you grow up in a shoes on household, Andy? A bit of a mix. It was shoes off until we moved to new houses and then it was shoes on. Okay. So why shoes on? Ease? Is it comfort?

Oh, comfort. Keep your feet warm without having to get your slippers. Yeah. Why take them off? I mean, he's got a point. Have you got carpet? I do. And I've just done a massive renovation.

Yeah, right. Okay. No, I respect that. I'm exactly the same as you. I get it. There's a very interesting text. Someone said this. Definitely shoes on.

I can vac up dirt, but not all the dead skin cells and oils off your feet. I can vacuum dirt, but I can't unsee your manky toenails. They also said bare feet are terrible for wool carpet. Oh, for like messing it up. I don't know if that's true, but interesting. Wendy's here. Hi, Wendy. Hi, Wendy.

Hi. Shoes on or shoes off? Shoes off. Shoes off. Tell. Hi, Wendy. Hi, Wendy. Hi. Shoes on or shoes off? Shoes off. Shoes off. Tell us why, Wendy. So I grew up in a shoes-on household, but since buying my own place and having carpet and having to vacuum, definitely shoes off.

I find it difficult when I'm coming inside from the garden and I trap mud all through the house that I have to go and then clean it up myself. Do you think of yourself as a highly strung person, Wendy? Maybe. I'm just trying to figure out what the difference is between shoes on and shoes off households. Like, as shoes on people, are they more relaxed in general?

Is that what it is? Oh, I have no idea. There could be some sort of science about that, or I guess it's just what you care about or what you have time to clean up. Like, obviously, like, I'm a shoes-on household, but if my shoes are muddy, I'll take them off. Yeah, exactly right. Jordan's here.

Hi, Jordan. G'day, Jordan. Hi. What's the deal? Shoes on or shoes off? So, I'm a shoes-, my partner is a shoes off. And what happens? What does this mean for your guys' relationship?

So, your rules go. Yeah, that's what I think. But no, he's more of a, if he keeps me walking around like inside of my sneakers or something, it's like, why are you wearing your shoes? Just take them off. We're inside. It's fine. Yeah, but you're like, I'm the cleaner. Shut up. Exactly.

Unless you want to do all the cleaning, you shush. Hey, I just want to acknowledge quite a few texts coming through for different cultural reasons. Yes, that's a good consideration. Yeah, who grew up in mouldy households, it is a custom to always have your shoes off. Of course. And if you go to the marae, it's always... Same with Japanese households as well.

Someone texts through about that too. So, yeah, I guess that's totally reasonable. But even then, within your own culture, you don't have to abide by the rules when it's your house. Well, that's true. Like if that is the cultural norm for your culture, once it's your wh your funny you can do whatever you want in there i guess just a few people being like you know i got into a relationship and this

is how they grew up and so i just went you know with what they wanted to do finally shona we come to your house are we taking our shoes off or are we leaving them on you're taking your shoes off unless you bring shoes that have not touched concrete. Wait, so if I've been out... Like ballet shoes? If I've been out... No, like my husband has inside shoes because he's of Indian descent and in India everything's really dusty

and so they wear inside shoes. Which are not slippers? Are they not slippers? They're not slippers. He literally wears jandals or like flat almost kind of like ballet flat Japanese, in Japan they're called

waba keys. Really? Yeah. I had no idea about that. Yeah and so if you have inside shoes that have not set foot outside you can bring them and wear them inside my whare all you like, but if your shoes have touched grass or pavement,

get them the hell off. This has been so interesting to me. Who would have thought that just such a mundane topic about whether you're allowed to keep your shoes on or off had so much depth to it, right? It had so much cultural meaning. There's so many places to go. Hey, Shona, what about if I bring, like, little plastic baggies to put on the bottom of my shoes?

Look, if you're going to go to that extent and I can watch you fall on your butt on my cuffs, please bring them. Please go. Okay, sweet. I'll provide the shower caps. Amazing. Look forward to it.

Thanks, Shona. It's time for the latest. From iHeartRadio, this is the latest Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. New Zealanders are glued to this because it's a real David versus Goliath situation. Jordan Rondell is the caker. She's a Kiwi. She was on Bake Off this season, New Zealand Bake Off.

She's been ripped off by Chrissy Teigen, and Chrissy Teigen has fired back Dean. She has through a representative. So a statement read this. This is from the Cravings, Chrissy Teigen's team. They said, images posted on social media by the Caker team

compared the front of our box and the back of their own. The front of their packaging is different from the photographic approach that we took, with their design tending to be solid, bold colour, which is actually a sleeve

rather than the traditional box style, which we have used. So they actually came out saying solid, bold colour, which is actually a sleeve rather than the traditional box style, which we have used. So they actually came out saying that, yeah, that they are not alike and that they actually pointed out what they believed to be the differences. And yeah, and it's kind of ugly. This is like the ultimate cake off. And so, but I think we can all, let's just, let's be honest, they look very, very, very,

very similar. We can all agree that they've been ripped off. Let's be real, at the end of the day, the product is like a luxury elevated cake mix. Yeah. I mean, Jordan Rondell didn't invent the cake mix, but she's come out with this product that's a little bit different. It's more niche and it's elevated.

And then Chrissy Teigen, straight after they collaborated, has come out with the same product. There's something within copyright law which states that your idea has to be different by a certain percentage and it's not much. Really? It's like 5% or something and it's very clear what they've done.

They've taken Jordan's idea, they've copied it, the box is the exact same shape and size and type and the product is the same. And then they've altered, I think, just enough to get around it so they can't legally be hauled up on it. But Jordan's not trying to legally haul them up. She's trying to go, yo, this is not cool.

You've ripped off my idea. I'm a small business and you're Chrissy Teigen. Yeah. That's so dog, eh, Dean? Yeah, exactly. No, I just think we can all agree that it's a rip off, it's a knock off. And then her team to come out and be like, oh, look, I just think we can all agree that it's a rip-off, it's a knock-off. And then her team to come out and be like,

look, you know, technicality, technically we're... It just looks bad. It's their way of covering a lawsuit, basically. It looks even worse for Chrissy Teigen, in my opinion, especially because the Caker is a small business run by women. Yeah. And Chrissy Teigen is essentially, you know, kind of crushing that dream.

Go and have a look at the comments on Chrissy Teigen's Instagram. It's like, obviously, 95% like, love you, love these kinks. But in there, you'll see lots of people going, justice for Jordan. Yeah. It's quite good.

These look so similar to the ones you did with the KK. That's the latest live out of LA with our Hollywood correspondent Dean McCarthy. We're about to answer the question you need to know. What is the right amount and what are the rules around what you should put into the wishing well?

It's so unspoken. It really is and no one really talks about it. But I feel like we're going off a base level of 100. 100 per person? Per person. Unless you're in a couple, you can kind of get away with 150. Is that the rules? Is that the rules?

Let's go to Zach and find out. Hey, Zach. Hi, Zach. Oh, g'day. How's it going? Good, thanks. Are you an attendee or have you just had a wedding recently? Both.

Both? Both. Okay, good. You're a good man to ask. So first, what do you think you should be putting into the wishing well um probably i think maybe just whatever you think um they're spending on you so like whatever how much you think oh how am i meant to know that how am i meant to know that before i get to the wedding you know oh you mean based on the wedding like Oh, sorry? Oh, you mean based on the wedding, like how much, what the food is and the venue and all that? Do you think it should be based off that?

Yeah, well, if you're going to a friend's house and he's just going to have like a hangi or something. Oh, yeah, okay. I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. But if you're going to like a flash as wedding, then, you know, maybe. So it's a sit-down, 100-person wedding at a rented venue with a DJ and a cooked dinner. How much are you putting in the wishing well, Zach?

Yeah, probably $100 or $150. $100 to $150. Zach, tell us, who was the stingiest person that came to your wedding? There was quite a few people that didn't give us anything, but I don't think that matters, eh? Yeah, I honestly don't think that matters. It just depends on everyone's financial situation, and I didn't throw a wedding to get money out of people. Yeah, good, good.

Don't make me feel bad. We're just having a bit of light banter. Zach really snookered you there. Yeah, I was like, well, yeah, I mean, that's a good point. That's a good point, Zach. Look, Bree, that's a very shallow question, and I'm disappointed that you even asked it. I'm just having a bit of a joke.

Christina's here. Hi, Christina. Hi, Christina. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, Christina. What do you think, mate? How much should you put in the wishing well? Well, I just got married last month,

so we had, on average, I would probably agree with $150 per couple. Okay. We did find a dollar coin in our wishing well, but we still don't know who that belongs to. I mean, good gag though, a dollar coin. Good gag. I think so, but we did have a couple other really good friends who put in quite a lot more than other people. What does that look like?

Come on, quantify that. About $500. Jeez, yeah, quantify that. About 500. Jeez, yeah, that's a fair bit. Which if you can, what a nice thing to do. That's a lovely thing to do. Absolutely. You've paid your way and you've actually made a contribution. Yeah.

And we did try and return it and say it was too much, but we still walked away with the money, which was a blessing. Yeah. No, you don't ever try and give it back, Christina. You take it and you run. Bree's never had a wedding. I've never. This is probably why.

Finally, Grace, we're trying to get to the bottom of this. I feel like we're where we started at 100 to 150. How much do you put in the wishing well in 2022? Hey, guys. So 2022 is actually considered the most expensive year in New Zealand's history to get married. Yes. So on average, most vendors have put up their prices up 30%.

And I feel like when you're a guest at someone's wedding, there should be no expectation because, you know, they're inviting you. I'm getting married in the next two weeks and I do not expect my guests. But as a gesture of goodwill, I mean, Google it up.

If they're having at a nice venue, chances are they're info-packed online and you'll be surprised as to how expensive some of these even like basic venues are.

That's so expensive. And you're never going to recoup your cost from the wishing well. That's not what you're trying to do. No, and that should not be the intention anyway when you're getting married in the first place. But do you think, Grace, if everything is relative,

that if the cost of a wedding has gone up 30%, the cost of your gift should go up 30%? I mean, that depends on individuals and your gift's financial situation, right? But if I were, and I am going to be a guest in someone's wedding in a month's time too, and I think I would at least go over the 150 mark because I know the couple, so probably be 300 at least. Wow. Okay.

Good for you, Grace. I'm just never going to tell people that I'm getting married. If I ever get married, I'm just going to say that it's my bar mitzvah or something. The next wedding you get invited to, you're going to learn how to DJ. You're like, my gift is, I'm going to do

a service for you. And I'm also going to do a rap. It's been a minute since we've had him in. Please welcome back to the show, good friend of the

Brie and Clint show, it's Mitch James. You see that? Mitch James, here he is. Thanks for having me again, guys, good to see you. How are you,

you little pocket rocket? Good to see you man Yeah I'm bloody good brother You're so positive, every time we see you, you're like, you come in, you're bouncing off the walls We love having you in here Gotta be, gotta be We were just talking to you off air about what your life has been like for the last, how long, what? Like two and a half months Two and a half months?

Yeah You've travelled 140,000 kilometres around the world Yeah You're everywhere at the moment. Yeah, no, I've been on tour getting it done, getting the message out there. But there's been a lot of flights and, like we discussed, not enough airpoints. So it's been a hard trade-off. You know, exposure to airpoints ratio could be worked on.

I mean, the question I have for you, do you recline on a domestic flight? Never. God damn, I knew it. on a domestic flight? Never. Good. I knew it. Never ever. So that look that I'm gauging on your face, Clint, is that you are one of those guys. No, I just think that you're a rock star. And so I'm imagining that if you're flying back from Dunedin, your night probably hasn't

ended until like three or four o'clock in the morning. That's generally true, yeah. So you need a sleep. Okay. If you manage to not recline, then good. I'm one of those guys on planes that just falls asleep vertically. Oh, yeah.

And I can, a bit drooly sometimes. Drool string hanging down. And then your neck is screwed for like the next three weeks. Oh, neck and back. Everything is out of whack. Oh, rhymes there. How's the crack? That's a new song.

Neck back out of whack. Yeah. You're releasing a brand new album today. Yes. Your album comes out today. Called Patience. Yes. Has it been a long time coming?

I guess that's the reason why I called it Patience. It's been four years and there's been like two or three different iterations that didn't get accepted for whatever reason. And yeah, it was just COVID got in there and bugged everything up. But I had a lot of time to to craft it and perfect it so I'm very happy with the with the final result you're such an open book which that's one thing I just adore about you you're very open about you know your struggles and your triumphs and you've said that the last four years has been pretty bloody shit but yeah but what's it been like

writing and creating this album through that uh it's always a challenge, I think, for me to be as honest as possible. And there's sort of a few avenues I hadn't really felt comfortable to talk about it. Like, you know, my family issues and stuff like that and health issues. And yeah, I think it's very therapeutic once you're going through it and you have these sort of results, if you will, on track that you can go back to and now they're not just mine. They're for everyone. They're like diary entries, I guess, right? Yeah.

And you can sort of see how far you've come from when you wrote such and such. Therapy through song. And it becomes more therapeutic when you see the reactions to the songs and people message you this and that and this helped me with this, this got me through that. That's when it starts to become that extra level of special. So I always feel like my struggles and going through it

is a small price to pay when you look at the bigger picture. Does Robbie Williams still feature in a Mitch James live show? He definitely features on a Mitch James Friday night at the karaoke bar. Okay, he's coming to New Zealand this summer. Have you reached out to Robbie Williams yet about recording something together?

No. Can you imagine? I'm imagining right now and it'll be pretty special. We do have a mutual friend, so... Why don't you do it? You never know.

I might slide in there and... What if we could help make it happen? Yeah, put you guys together. I don't even know what record label he's on anymore. I think he's with Sony. I think he's with Sony.

I think he's with my label. Just why don't you get them to sort it out? It's just angels are such a big moment. You know what I mean? I'm getting goosebumps even just thinking about it. I think you should definitely do it. I'd love to. I think you're a young Robbie Williams.

I think you've got to make this happen. I feel like he'd be keen, even if you were to just come on stage and do angels with him. That's a pretty amazing moment. Can you imagine? It's my mum's favourite song of all time. My mum would have a heart attack. She would honestly freak out. And it's, like I said, the karaoke go-to.

Yeah. It's the best karaoke song in the world. So good. We're going to play the new Miss James song, but should we play Rue Williams' Angels instead? I think we should. No, no, no. The new album is out today from Miss James., but should we play Rory Williams' Angels instead? I think we should. No, no, no. This is Rory Williams' Angels. The new album is out today from Miss James.

It's called Patience. It's great to see you, and it's great to see you doing so well, man. Always. Thank you, Ryan. We're happy and excited for you. Thank you so much. Bree and Clint. We've got some Harry Potter news.

We don't cover a lot of Harry Potter news on this show, but I do have some today. What's going down in the Potterverse? J.K. Rowling cancelled. Really? Yeah. Nah. Rowling cancelled. Really? Nah, that's not news. She did that a while ago. That's been for a while. No, this is about the Potterverse,

which people still love, despite the transphobic comments of its creator. I think people are compartmentalising the two and they're going, she's over there. The joy that Harry Potter has brought us, that's over here. Claude, you're a pothead. Is that fair?

Do you think that's a fair way to look at it? 420. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, that's fair. 420. There's a beach in Wales called Freshwater West, and that's the beach where, in the Harry Potter series, Dobby dies. That's where they film it.

Yeah, that's where they filmed it. Right. Yeah. You know that scene, Claude, the one where Dobby dies? Oh, I've heard of that one, yeah. Don't play it cool. Come on, You can nerd out Okay I know that one

I've seen it a couple times Alright Okay It's from Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows Part 1 If you didn't know In real life There's a memorial

For Dobby there It's like a plaque And it reads Here lies Dobby A free elf Oh people are trying To dig him up I mean I probably Would have a go Imagine Someone goes there a free elf. Oh, people are trying to dig him up.

I mean, I probably would have a go. Someone goes there and plants like chicken bones in the middle of the night. I would. Just to mess with people. A little skeleton poking out of the sand. No, the Welsh government are pleading with people to please stop leaving painted rocks and socks as tributes there because it's causing an environmental crisis. What's the significance of socks?

That's what freed Dobby when he was gifted a sock. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I knew that. And the painted rocks? I thought you, I mean, I knew you hadn't seen it, but I thought you knew a little bit. I literally know nothing. Oh, really? Oh, God, I mean, I knew you hadn't seen it, but I thought you knew a little bit. I literally know nothing. Oh, really? Oh, God, why are we even doing this?

All I know is, not me, not you, Hermione. No? No. That was close. Not me. Not Hermione. You. I learnt that from TikTok.

Dobby was gifted a sock which freed him from enslavement. Only my fact check is on this. Correct. And his master was tricked into giving Dobby a sock, wasn't he? Correct. How did a sock do that? If you present an elf with clothing, it frees them. Because they're an elf.

That's why he lives in a rag. Is that the same for elf on the shelf? I think so. I feel like a few of those guys need to get out. It's coming up to Christmas time. They're like, oh, not again. Elf on the Shelf has the easiest job in the world. He works one month a year.

One month a year. I mean, true. Yeah. But still, they work hard. They work all through the night. It's a night shift. Anyway, people need to stop leaving their socks at Dobby's site. Because socks are largely synthetic these days.

They're broken down into plastic. A turtle will eat it. And you think you're leaving a beautiful tribute to Dobby, who's not real. And in reality, you're suffocating a turtle that is real. Yeah. It's true. I don't like this. You know?

Yeah, right. Miss Gen Z environmentalist warrior, you should be on our side. I love that name. I mean, yeah, maybe just pay your respects, nail, say your prayers. Human beings are so weird. No, don't take this away from people. Human beings are so weird. I'm not taking it away from them.

I'm just saying people will make an actual pilgrimage to this site and lay a real tribute and shed real tears for Dobby, who doesn't exist. Do you want to know what I saw in London? Yeah. So it was the same, what's Harry Potter Day where you go to Hogwarts? September the 1st or something like that.

There you go. I was at the train station like in real life. Yeah. Some people were running into walls? People were there dressed up in full like Harry Potter Hogwarts gear and they were doing a wand teaching lesson and they were like, what? Yeah. I've seen that.

I've seen footage of it. I have a question for the group. We've never done this before. Yeah. What Harry Potter house is everyone? Oh, I did the quiz. Maddie made me for the group. We've never done this before. Yeah. What Harry Potter house is everyone? Oh, I did the quiz. Maddie made me take the quiz. You're a Slytherin.

No, I wasn't Slytherin. Yes, he is. I was a Ravenclaw, yeah. You're a Ravenclaw with a Slytherin moon for sure. Okay, what would I be? Gryffindor. No, Slytherin. be? Gryffindor. What? Gryffindor? What did you say, Ella? I thought you'd be Slytherin.

You sneaky brie. Slytherin. Sliding around. Maybe Gryffindor with a Slytherin moon. I think Ella's Hufflepuff. Yep. And Claudia is 100% Ravenclaw or Gryffindor? Ravenclaw. Thanks, guys. No, I'm a Hufflepuff. How do you know?

You didn't even know the sock thing. I've done the quizzes on BuzzFeed of that. Brie and Clint. And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment, Friday Okie. I love Friday Okie. It's the best. I listen every Friday.

I never miss Friday Oki. Thanks, Brian Clint. You've made my Friday again. Friday Oki. It's on. Our weekly singing competition, we each spend 15 minutes with a professional audio engineer. He makes us sound as good as we possibly can.

And then it's up to you guys as to who wins Friday Oki. That is correct. This week, we are doing the biggest song in the world at the moment from Taylor Swift. Such a good song from such a talented artist. I feel like she just encompasses every time I go home and I have that fight with my family. Yeah, yeah, Christmas. And I end up saying something like, it's me.

I'm the problem, it's me. Here's the thing about this song. When you first hear it, it seems quite understated. When you step into a booth and try and sing it, you realise she is using her entire vocal range on this song. It's real hard. She's real high and then she's real low. High, low, high, low.

So Brie and I have both done it. Seeing as I picked the song, I will go first. Okay. And then Brie will go and then we'll look for five people to decide the winner of Friday Okie this afternoon. Good luck. Thank you. Here's my Taylor Swift.

This is my version of Antihero. All right, good luck. Thank you. Here's my Taylor Swift. This is my version of anti-hero. I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser. Midnight's become my afternoons. Oh, no. When my depression works a graveyard shift off the people. I've ghosted stand there in the room. I should not be left to my own devices.

They come with prices and vices. I end up in crisis. I wake up screaming from dreaming. One day I'll watch as you're leaving. Cause you got tired of my scheming.'s me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me At tea time, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero.

Holy shit. So the new nose might not be fully operational yet. Holy moly. Actually, I'm just going to shut my mouth. Great job. Do you know I'm going to be really honest here? I came into this thinking that maybe I might have smashed it this week. And when I walked out of the booth, I went,

actually, you know what? I think once you put my harmonies together, I think maybe I might have smashed it this week. Pride comes before a fall, eh? Yeah, absolutely. And I'm going to support you because I feel like you're about to hear much of the same. One text so far just says, oh, jeez.

All right, it doesn't matter. It's about whose is the better. It's not about being perfect. It's about who's being better. Who's the best version? Okay. So here's Bree's anti-hero. So sorry in advance. I have to sing when I get older, but just never wiser.

Midnight's become my afternoons. When my depression works the graveyard shift, I love the people. I've ghosted Stan there in the room. I should not be left to my own devices They come with prices and vices I end up in crisis Until as old as time

I wake up screaming from dreaming One day I'll watch as you're leaving Cause you got tired of my scheming For the last time It's me Good night I'm the last time It's me G'day I'm the problem It's me

At tea time Everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror It must be exhausting Always rooting

for the anti-hero That had real moments. That had moments. Did it? Yeah, it had moments. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't know how this is going to go. I don't know how this. I don't. Look, I feel like I've done worse than that before. Definitely. I don't think that was a train wreck from you at all. I don't know how mine is going to be interpreted. Well, I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, producers,

I don't think I've had a win for six weeks. Really? Yeah. Did you not win any while I was away? Nah, didn't win a single one. Yeah, right, okay. Okay, to the person who said they would rather poo in their hands and clap than listen to that Friday Oki again,

that's too descriptive, okay? That's TMI. I think it's fair, though. I think it's fair. 0800 dial ZM right now. We're looking for five people to call through and pick the winner of Friday-oke this afternoon. Bree and Clint.

Welcome back to Friday-oke. Friday-oke! Taylor Swift, anti-hero, is our victim this week. Ross Boss, huge Swifty, tried to prevent this one going to air, actually. Yeah, he said, I will take you guys off the air if you do that to that song. And we said, do it. Yeah. Do it, we do you.

Yeah, go on. We did anti-hero. Mine sounded like this. It's me. Hi. I'm the problem. It's me. Hi. I'm the problem. It's me. At tea time.

Everybody agrees. And Bree sounded like this. It's me. G'day. I'm the problem. It's me. At tea time. Everybody agrees.

I'll stare directly at the sun. No, no more, no more. You got a bonus bit. Someone texted and they said, you don't understand how difficult singing is until you hear you guys. That's what we are doing for the singing community. We're looking for five votes to decide the winner of Fridayoke and we're going to start with Gemma.

Kia ora, Gemma. G'day, Gem. Kia ora, is that me? Yeah, that's you. That's you, mate. What's your thoughts? Who's the winner of Fridayoke? I voted for Clint because I just had the music on real low

and I turned it up because I thought it was actually Taylor Swift's song. Okay. You probably need to get your hearing checked, Gemma. I'll be honest with you. I'll take it, though. We appreciate your vote. Thank you, Gemma. Have a great weekend.

Let's go to Richard. G'day, Richard. G'day, Rich. It's me. Hi. Clint's the problem. It's Clint. At sea time, everybody votes free.

Yay! Thank you, Richard. Richard, that's the most creative vote we've had in a while. Thank you, mate. That's one each. Let's go to our third vote this afternoon from Laura. Kia ora. G'day, Laura.

Hello. Well, we've been having massive arguments in the car about this. Okay. Yes, and we thought you were both good. We were both average, Laura. You can be honest. Yeah, but I won because I have a bit of a

soft spot for Brie. Yes, Laura McGow! You put her ahead by one. What did it for you? Was it my sultry tones? Um, sure. Yeah, sure. That's what it was. Okay, Laura, have a great weekend. I love you, Laura. What did it for you? Was it my sultry tones? Sure. Yeah, sure.

That's what it was. Okay, Laura, have a great weekend. I love you, Laura. Bye. Let's go to Renee. Kia ora, Renee. Hi, Renee. Hi, guys.

How are you? Good, mate. How are you? I'm good. You can either take the game out and give it to Bree here, or you can take us to tie break. Who are you voting for on Friday, Oki? I'm voting for Bree, but it's a both-tone desk.

Yeah, right. It's true, Renee. Someone said, how can I be monotone and pitchy all at the same time? But I will take your vote and I'll run with it. You've got the win. Let's go to the last vote. Ailey's here. Hi, Ailey. Hi, Ailey.

Hi. Who were you going to vote for? It was the G'day for me. I'm voting for Brie Thank you Aileen There you go with a 4-1 victory Your Friday Oki champion is Brie Thomasel It's me

G'day I'm the problem it's me At tea time Everybody agrees I'll stare directly At the sun But never in the mirror. It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero. It's a sad competition when that is the winner.

I need to go and see my ear, nose and throat doctor. I've ripped off, man. Maybe I'm still recovering from surgery. Maybe you need to get your vocal cords worked on. I know I do. Get my balls lifted. Listen to that. I need my hearing checked too.

Time for a birthday banger. That's right. If you win birthday banger this afternoon, you'll score yourself a $100 JB Hi-Fi vouch all. That's right.

Yeah, what is it?

Oh, Angela. This takes me back. You can very rarely go wrong with a Spice Girls song in Birthday Banger. But yours is particularly good because it's not an overplayed Spice Girls song. But when you hear it,

you still remember it. This was my favourite. Yeah. I have a whole jump to the song. But when you hear it, you still remember it. This was my favourite. Yeah. I have a whole dance to the song. We did it at the talent quiz at primary school. It's got to win. It's got to win. It's your perfect birthday banger, Ang. I vote Spice Girls.

All right. Okay. There we go. There we go. There we go. There we go. Okay, everybody ready? I sound really Southern, don't I?

I keep forgetting I'm the one with the accent right now You guys and I feel like It's not me and you guys have The best accent Do we need subtitles can you understand us Yeah I can understand Okay good some people can't understand New Zealand Accents and Australian accents

Oh no no no I, no. I can. I think I can. Okay. Can you understand this, Chili? Oh, this interview is about to be ridgy-jidge true blue, mate. Ridgy-jidge true blue, mate. Whatever that was. I reckon we're already up and running, but let's give her the official intro anyway. On Sunday, 13th of November, TLC will take the stage at Friday Jams Live

and we are joined by the one, the only, Chilli on the show right now. Woo! Are you waving? I'm waving. We are not worthy. How are you, Chilli? It's so good to connect with you

and have some time to talk to you. Yes, it is. I'm happy to be here finally. It's been a long time. It's been, what, how many years has it been? 2016 you were here last, Chilly, I believe. So it's been a little while and we're so excited to have you guys back. Are you pumped to get back to New Zealand?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, we're ready. What do you know about New Zealand? We're right down here at the bottom of the world. I don't think we cross people's radars too often. What do you know? When you think about New Zealand, what do you think about? Well, when I think about New Zealand, I think about, well, first of all, it is absolutely beautiful there. It's so pretty. And I remember everything kind of shutting down like around six-ish, seven.

And I was like, huh. You know, but for somebody like me, you know, I don't like to hang out and all that. I kept thinking about family. You know, you get to go home and eat dinner with your kids or whatever. You know what I'm saying? Before it gets all late. Yeah. So I thought that was really cool that you guys shut down a little.

Well, we've got a special curfew leave pass for Friday Jams Live. So we're allowed to stay out until midnight for that one. So we'll be there. Don't you worry about it. It's going to be a late one, midnight. Look out. Hey, I've got a question for you, and I've always wondered this. Do you ever get sick of people tagging your music every time they visit a waterfall?

No, I don't. I actually think it's so sweet, and it just amazes me that people will even think about us like that or just people, you know, you never know who knows you and what impact you've had on them, on their lives at whatever point in time. And so I always love those little moments like that, you know. It makes sense to me. Well, it happens a lot here. You just have to see a waterfall and then you should start doing a dance too. You know, you have to do everything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of waterfalls here around New Zealand, so it happens a lot. It's one of my life goals, yeah, to visit a waterfall and recreate the dance, which I'm getting there slowly. You guys have such good dance moves that I'm struggling at the minute. It's pretty easy. It's just a shoulder bounce. Yeah, you know, it's kind of like lean to the sides.

I've got to learn the shoulder bounce. Hey, Chilly, I saw, I mean, Halloween's just happened and it's massive in the States, obviously. Did you happen to see that Kim Kardashian's daughter, Northwest, dressed up as you guys for Halloween? Yeah, I actually posted because Kim tagged us. I think she tagged Tion too. And, yeah, and I posted it and it was, it was so cute. And

then I DM'd her, we started DMing each other and then North left me this sweetest little message. She wants to come to a TLC concert and she wants front row seats. So. Is that crazy? Is that crazy that this whole new generation, these kids are getting the music? That's cool, right? That's got to be awesome. Yeah, it is. I mean, I think it's such a blessing when you have a catalog that can, you know, continue to be like that. Yeah, I mean, and you don't know until years go by. Time tells you if that's going to be like that, you know, so we're very blessed. Speaking of time, it's been 20 years this year since the world lost Lisa Left Eye Lopez.

How do you guys incorporate her into your live shows? Or do you? Does she feature in TLC live performances at all? Well, what we do, we don't mute all of her raps or anything like that. And the fans love that because they love to rap along with her you know and songs and stuff so you know we definitely make sure that we keep her spirit alive you know like like when you come to a TLC concert it's not just T-Boz and myself I mean you feel the energy of you know it's just it's the of us always. We'll always represent for our sister, always.

We're the only ones that can do it. Yeah, exactly right. I love that, and I love how you guys have, yeah, kind of, I don't know, kept her spirit alive throughout your shows. You can really tell. And something I wanted to ask you, what do you guys do to prepare before a show like this? Is there any kind of traditions that you do before

you go out on the stage um not really traditions but i definitely make sure you know hydration is very important it is it's all that singing and dancing i mean you know i'm always jumping around on the stage i mean that's just my thing i love it. When I can't do that anymore, I'm done. I will have to retire. Okay. And, you know, just make sure we make sure we rest, get enough rest. But hydration is the most important thing because you have to have those cords nicely lubricated. It's good for everything else.

Water. You know, I am an H2O queen. I need to take some advice from you. Drink some more water. We're talking to Chili from TLC. She's coming to be one of the headline artists at Friday Jams Live on Sunday, the 13th of November. I really hope I'm not overstepping the mark here with this question, but I probably won't get another chance to speak to you ever again. I don't know if I'm going to get this opportunity growing up for me. One of my favorite albums,

not even growing up to this day. One of my favorite albums of all time is Usher confessions. Okay. And in preparing for this interview, I did a little bit of research. I spent my entire youth believing that that album was written about you and that confessions, the song was written about you and that you are the woman that he did the

dirty on in that whole album. And I've had my mind blown today where it turns out that might not be the case. So Chili from TLC, can I please ask you straight up, face to face, did Asha cheat on you? Okay, well, first of all, the album is not about me at all. When we were together and he was recording, I was with him,

I would say 80% of the time when he was recording, those experiences were about Jermaine Dupri, who actually wrote the songs with, oh, my gosh, I can't think of the other writer's name. Oh, Brian, Michael B. Cox. Right. I get Brian from him. Anyways, yeah, so Michael B. Cox.

They wrote the song, and Usher, you know, he sang the record. And I was there so you're honestly it's sad because the reason people think or thought that will still think i'm sure somebody does that the album was about our relationship is because we had already broken up before the album had come out yeah and we didn't break up because of any cheating, anything, because I was not aware of that. But I didn't take him back because I found out some things. Right.

Okay. Talking about that, it was just one of those days I was, you know, on the radio station that I just felt like talking. And I remember telling him, I said, you know what? You need to either write me a check or send something because that album sold because people thought that it was about us. Where's my cut? A hundred percent.

It was like Shakespearean, this betrayal and the storytelling. But it was not. It was not. You know what? You've actually altered my perception of my entire youth with that information. I found that out today. I've been listening to that album since the early 2000s.

I found that information out today, Chilli. That's unbelievable. You're like today years old. I'm literally today years old. That's incredible. Well, we appreciate the honesty. Can I just say, like, you have such an amazing energy and you are literally the soundtrack of my youth and I know Clint's youth
