The ZM Podcast Network.
We've got our sound effects back. Yeehaw, bitch.
Yeah, boy.
Welcome to the Brie and Clint Podcast, where before we get into anything, Brie,
I want you to tell me whether you believe Anastasia has done a good job today.
I think she's done a fantastic job.
You think she's done a good job? You think she's done a fantastic job?
I always think she's done a fantastic job. I reckon she's done a good job? You think she's done a fantastic job? I always think she's done a fantastic job.
I reckon she's done a bad job.
Ben, cut it out. Ben, settle down
Ben. No, I think she's done a great job too.
Oh shit, here it comes.
Well no, she has. That's why she's earned
this.
Girl boss energy.
Not that boss babe energy.
Good work Anastasia.
Good to be here.
Got that boss babe energy.
Ben.
Classic Ben.
Good work, girl boss Anastasia.
I like that I came up with the idea to dub that over that song too.
You're so in tune too.
Yeah, like I unintentionally made something for myself.
Oh, wait, was that not Lato?
I thought that was actually Lato.
It was so close.
Anyway, good.
Good with establishing.
Thanks, guys.
That was fun.
That was fun.
It's nice when people do stuff for you.
She's easily pleased.
Isn't she?
Thank you, Ben.
I'm assuming Ben made that.
Oh, yeah, thanks, Ben.
That was actually really cool.
That was dope as fuck.
Dope as fuck.
Guys, guess what?
I've got something to talk to you guys about.
You went to hospital for holding in too many farts.
No, no.
That nearly happened to me, though.
Damn, that was going to be my guess, too.
I went to see the new Wolverine film and it was with work colleagues
and I nearly had to, I reckon it was close.
I held in about 70 farts, I reckon.
70?
Yeah.
What did you have been having to eat?
I don't know.
Really niche movie.
You know how there's two types of farts?
There's farts that stink and then there's farts that are just gas.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
You can feel them in their stomach.
They don't smell, but you just have heaps of them.
I'm always a bit out of my comfort zone talking about farts.
But you can agree.
But my theory on it is if they smell, you need to go to the toilet.
Because my theory is they've been perfumed by what they've gone past.
Yeah, the air is trying to get through the poo in the chute.
That's a good intro. Sorry, actually. P poo in the chute. That's a good intro.
Sorry, actually.
Poo in the chute.
But again, I'm uncomfortable.
I completely deterred you.
Finish what you're about to say, Brett.
I was going to say, this weekend,
I may be starting up a new hobby.
Oh, okay.
And I was going to give you guys an opportunity
to guess what I'm doing.
No?
Are you not sticking with the indoor netball?
No, well, I just was a fill-in player.
I'm still waiting for a call-up, by the way.
I reckon it's something outdoorsy.
Okay, I'll give you that.
That's right, it is outdoorsy.
It's like there's something that she's been wanting to do.
Like, I want to say something really obscure.
Is it involving animals?
Yes.
Okay.
Is it?
Okay.
You're just killing this at the moment. But it's not a dog thing. Not a dog thing. Okay. Is it Okay Is it You're just killing this
At the moment
But it's not a dog thing
Not a dog thing
Okay
No
Is it
Are you getting a zoo pass
No
Oh I'd love to
But no
Are you getting into that thing
Where birds fly onto your arm
Oh my god
I'd love that
Although I'm terrified of birds
Do you know what I mean
There are those people
That wear those big gloves
You're on the right track
Like it is very obscure
I've seen some of that horse riding or something.
I'll give you a hint.
Doing conservation work and going possum hunting.
Now, you're kind of on the right track.
Truffle hunting with dogs.
No, it's not to do with dogs.
Yeah, that's true.
I'd love to go truffle hunting with dogs.
Conservation-y with, I'm going to say, thousands and thousands of animals.
What do you call it, animals?
Is it glowworms?
Oh, beekeeping.
That's it.
I'm going beekeeping.
I'm learning how to keep my own hive.
All right, everyone go pinch Bree a hundred times.
Yeah, simulate the bee experience.
I find bees fascinating.
My daughter is obsessed with bees at the moment
And we watch bees on TikTok
You should take her to go beekeeping
Oh my god bees are incredible
Bees are amazing
So you're going to get a hive
No I'm not getting a hive
I got invited by a few of my friends
So we're going to go out to this place
That literally gives you a course on
And teaches you how to
Why are you doing that if you're not going to get a hive?
Well, because it's a fun thing to do.
You sit down for lunch.
But why don't you get a hive?
Well, I don't have a place for a hive.
You've got a front yard.
Yeah, but I've got a dog.
And if she gets bit, and knowing Whitney, she will attack the bees.
But I'd love to have a hive.
Put it in the backyard.
Yeah, I mean, it could go in the backyard.
Put it on the roof. Put it in the backyard. Yeah, I mean, it could go in the backyard. Put it on the roof.
Put it on the roof.
My dad, like growing up, we always had hundreds and hundreds of beehives
in and amongst our apple trees to pollinate the apple trees.
And I remember my dad would always be like,
guys, the honey guy just dropped off a bucket of honey
and he'd pull out this giant bucket of honey.
It was huge.
We had a weird honey experience on the weekend because we eat quite a bit of honey in winter
and almost none over summer.
Why?
Porridge.
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway, Tui had a cough.
We gave her a spoonful of honey for her throat and she loved it.
She loves honey.
And the jar of honey ran out. Are she loved it she loves honey and the jar of
honey we're talking manuka um no not quite manuka one down from manuka um anyway anyway there was a
last of the honey it ran out till he goes we need to get more honey an hour and a half later the guy
from up the road shows up at our house with a full jar of honey as a gift for us out of nowhere
to say thank you for something we gave them months ago.
She goes, we need to get more honey.
And then honey showed up at our house.
He definitely got that honey for free.
Yeah, he's got hives.
Oh, he's got hives.
Yeah.
What's he allergic to?
Yes!
There's no beekeeping.
It was all an elaborate rose to get to that part.
Just to get to that one joke.
No, it is. I'm going beekeeping on Saturday. Well, it's going get to that part. Just to get to that one joke.
No, it is.
I'm going beekeeping on Saturday.
Well, it's going to be fun.
I'll let you know how it goes.
It'll be fun to find out if you're allergic to them or not.
Gary could do it to you.
All right.
Well, enjoy that.
Enjoy the podcast, everybody.
Bye.
Bye, guys.
I'm coming in.
Well, howdy, children.
What time is it?
Three, two, one. It is Brinkley's.
Good evening, everybody. Good afternoon.
Welcome to a very heated debate which is going on in the studio at the moment.
And I just, I need to, I need some external input on this.
You're telling me that if I buy an off-brand charging cable, it will ruin my phone?
Yes.
What?
Well, I know for a fact that the off-brand chargers and cables aren't good.
No, I know that.
I know that.
They can cause fires, Clint.
No, come on.
Really?
Haven't you seen the stories?
I just want it to plug into my car.
Would you put an off-brand thing into other things?
That's a leading question.
I'm just saying.
That's a leading question.
Like, would you treat
other things in your life like that or just your phone? Just, I just, I just want chargers everywhere.
I want them everywhere. I want, whenever I want to charge, I want to be able to charge. Yeah, well,
don't be cheap. So I need more cables. Spend the bit, spend the bit extra money and then you won't
have to keep buying them because they'll break. Yeah, I just found one over here.
I've just whacked it in here.
Oh, now you're just putting your bloody thing into everything.
You don't know where that charger's been.
No, I don't know where that charger's been.
That charger could have, you know, bacteria or stuff.
That charger could be anybody's.
It could be anyone's.
I believe Vaughan Smith sits over there.
We don't know where he's been.
Okay, well, if there are any experts out there, can you let me know?
I don't care if the cable breaks.
I just want to know, is it bad for the phone to use an off-brand charger?
I've just had bad experiences where I've been out in the middle of nowhere.
I've got an off-brand charging cable in my car.
Yeah.
And then next minute, no music for a four-hour drive.
Car explodes.
Yeah.
The battery's dead. It's infected the car with a virushour drive. Car explodes. Yeah. The battery's dead.
It's infected the car with a virus.
Okay.
All right.
Well, thank you for the advice.
I'll take it on board.
We're going to give you two shots at winning the secret sound today,
four o'clock and five o'clock.
I felt like we came really close yesterday,
especially with the Nespresso pod one.
Yeah, that was a really good guess.
It felt like a unique guess and it fit the clues, but it wasn't right.
So back to the drawing board we go.
And at 4 o'clock, you can have a guess.
That's right.
Right now, we've got $50.
Thanks to our mates at KFC.

Welcome to the show, Christina.
Hi, Christina.
What kind of dog do you have?
I'm sure she's a little sitchy, multi.
And we rescued her.
Aren't they the best nature, those dogs?
They are.

Yeah.

Oh, multi-poo. Either or.
Multi-shit, multi-poo.
Yeah, good.

This is like my ideal game of tradie versus lady.
It's all about dogs.

Yeah, that's who he is.
Well, not anymore.
He's stepping down. No, he's still currently, but he's going to step down soon.

Obi-Wan
Obi-Wan Kenobi Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Well done, Soph.
Bree and Clint.
We've got an important COVID-19 announcement.
This noise is triggering.
Have you noticed they've stopped using that noise now?
Thank God.
They don't use it for any COVID announcements.
That's because every announcement is a COVID announcement.
You've got to say that before you say COVID announcement.
No, but they don't have to anymore because the entire news is just COVID.
See, you have to do it.
COVID.
No, no, no.
COVID.
No, no, no.
Now you're abusing it.
COVID, COVID.
I've got an important COVID-19 announcement.
The Director General of Health, Dr. Ashley Bloomfield has announced.
Never heard of him.
He is quitting his job He's like
Bye bitch
I'm out of here
He's out
Yeah he's had enough
And I get it
Fair enough
I get it
Who wouldn't have had enough
It's been a long
long stint in that job
He said
It's been a huge privilege
to be appointed
the Director General of Health
And I've committed myself wholeheartedly to the role He said, it's been a huge privilege to be appointed the Director General of Health.
And I've committed myself wholeheartedly to the role for nearly four years.
And two years of it has been COVID.
I always wonder, is that like a Director General's dream?
It's like, oh my God, the big time.
Because I don't think you're actually meant to know who the Director General of Health is.
They're not meant to be a public person. They're meant to just do their job, not be on TV every day.
It's a weird time that we live in.
He said he's looking forward to spending some time with his family
before he decides what to do next.
Probably a podcast, eh?
Yeah.
Everyone does a podcast now.
He'd be jumping on the podcast.
Or a fitness Instagram.
Or I heard that he was going to get into big game fishing.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, BGF.
Yeah.
Big game fishing.
He's got big GF energy.
Herm, we have a tradition on this show.
Whenever a leading public official resigns from office,
we like to salute them with a haiku.
That's right.
I just looked up because I was interested,
before we get into these very good haikus,
how much he would be giving up in terms of salary?
Oh, yeah.
What does he get paid?
What does everyone think?
I heard a rumour that he gets paid more than the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister makes about $400,000 a year.
Ooh.
It says here, according to this article, and I mean, this is just, I'm just taking it from this article. In 2019, according to State Services Commission,
his salary was $528,000.
Hot damn!
I wouldn't be giving up that job.
He hasn't had a day off in two years, though.
Yeah, but half a million dollars.
Yeah, I couldn't give it up either.
Okay, it's time to give tribute to Dr. Ashley Bloomfield
in the form of haiku, a Japanese style of poem
which utilises the syllable structure, five syllables,
seven syllables, five syllables.
And I'll go first.
Okay, good, because I'm not confident in mine today.
Dear Daddy Bloomfield,
I will miss your smile and butt.
Please get
some rest, King.
I thought
that was beautiful.
So much feeling in that. Yeah.
These haikus will be judged at the end, by the way.
Who would like to haiku for Bloomfield
next? Do you want to go second, Stage?
Yeah, this is my haiku debut.
Oh, that wasn't meant to rhyme.
Yeah, I'm not very confident.
Go for it, Anastasia.
Just wait, can I just ask?
Haikus don't have to rhyme, hey?
No.
Okay, good.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, you made me nervous there.
Cool.
This one's called Ashley Bloomfield.
Bloomfield.
Oh, shit.
Ashley Boopfield.
Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia.
Huh?
Take a breath.
Okay, sorry.
And when you're ready,
we're in the haiku zone, it's time to haiku.
Thanks for being there.
I will miss your cool glasses.
Stay hot, Bloom Daddy.
That's good.
I like it.
Thanks, guys.
I like it.
Stay hot, Bloom Daddy.
Do you guys feel relaxed?
I do. Yeah, I feel solemn, which is what I want Bloom Daddy. Do you guys feel relaxed? I do.
Yeah, I feel solemn, which is what I want from this.
Okay, if you've just joined us,
the Director General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield,
has stood down from his position and we are paying tribute in the form of haiku.
Here comes haiku expert, Brie Thomas-El.
Okay.
Dr. Daddy Bloomfield, you sexy.
A well-deserved holiday you will have.
Probably local, cause, well, COVID.
Okay, you did not haiku at all.
That's a haiku, isn't it?
Read me the first line.
Read me the first line.
Dr. Daddy Bloomfield.
Oh, my gosh, she's like Dr. Daddy Bloomfield. Oh, is it syllables? Oh, my gosh, she said words. Is it syllables?
I told you I had three minutes to put that together,
and I was panicking.
I said, how many?
You just said 575.
You didn't say syllables.
I'm just happy I haven't lost.
Megan, our judge this afternoon from the ZM Web Department,
please tell us who paid the best tribute in the form of haiku to Ashley Bloomfield.
Come on, mine was different.
Well, I think Bree's automatically disqualified.
Oh, BS.
So it's out of Clint and Anastasia.
I liked Clint's, but I don't know how much of Ashley's butt we actually saw.
So I don't know what you've been looking at, but a bit creepy.
Anastasia used the word daddy, and that's the word
I used online today. So
I'm going to go with Anastasia.
Yes! I mean, I feel like this is rude.
Not because I'm sitting next to
her right now, and she paid me, but
it's so good to be here. There we go, everybody.
She bought you lunch, didn't she?
Make sure you get your haikus for Ashley Bloom filled out quickly.
I knew I was going to fall into this haiku trap one day.
Syllables, not words.
Syllables, not words.
What's a syllable?
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Bree and Clint.
Look, this concerns everyone because it is a workplace situation
that is going down at a certain workplace.
Oh, okay.
And I feel like we need to discuss this.
Okay.
Do we need to take them to the workplace tribunal?
I think so.
I actually think we do because this is next level cheat boss.
Okay.
So a boss has been criticised online after an employee revealed that they have to pay
for water.
Excuse me? That's right. You heard correct. This person
took a photo of their office's water cooler.
Yeah. And it had a note attached to the water
cooler and it read,
Hello, water drinker.
If you would like to drink this delicious Poland spring water,
please see Sandra or Michelle to get signed up to our very cool water club.
Very cool.
I don't know how cool it would be.
How much do you think this workplace, this boss, has decided to charge?
So it's a water cooler?
Yes.
What are those ones where you put the big tank of water into the sink?
So is it a subscription model or am I paying per flask of water?
Per month.
Per month, okay.
How much for unlimited refills per month?
I wouldn't want to be paying more than $4 a month for something like that.
Dollar a week.
If the water is that good, it's just water.
What do you mean?
It's just water.
Yeah, I know.
It's a basic human right.
I know, I know, I know.
But if I had to pay, I'd pay $4 a month
for fresh, cool water, maximum.
This boss is charging $5 a month.
Ooh.
He would be cleaning up.
Or she, sorry.
He or she.
Kind of has a male boss tone to it, though.
Cheap.
I want to know, does he provide regular tap water?
You know?
Or has he replaced the taps with the water cooler?
If you're not providing tap water,
then you can't charge for the water cooler.
Am I a bit of a sucker, am I?
I think you are.
Am I a sucker signing up to Water Club?
It's just you sold it to me so well.
You made it sound so cool.
Can you imagine what this workplace's Christmas party
would be like if they're charging for water?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, they'd have good drinks, I'd hope.
That is such good morale.
Yeah, true.
That's a way to boost morale.
True, yeah.
Well, don't let Ross Boss see this.
We don't even have a water cooler.
Well, exactly right.
He might get one though if he thinks he can get $5 a staff member out of it.
Wait a minute, I could make a quick buck here.
It's time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, Pink has flipped her lid on Rolling Stone magazine and called them irrelevant.
Oh, she sure has.
Okay, this is what happened.
This is so wild.
So basically they released their top 25, you know,
most incredible performances, Grammy performances ever,
and she was not on the list.
So what did she do?
What does one do in 2022?
She comments on their Instagram post in the comments.
Imagine, pink.
Imagine the poor little junior burger social media person
running the social account, all of a sudden, pink comments.
You're like, wait a second.
So here's the deal, right?
Okay.
So first she writes this.
She goes,
ha ha ha,
you guys have been irrelevant
since 1990.
Ouch.
Then she comments
underneath her own comment
and just goes to town
and then going,
this magazine used to have
John Legend.
This magazine used to have
Muddy Waters.
Now you've sold out.
You know,
you're completely sold out.
She said,
you know what?
Trust me,
you don't have to like my music
and I could not give a beep,
but this is the biggest sellout in beeping history.
It's really, she goes to tell them,
it's like the rant of all rants.
So I've got to ask the question,
does she come across well?
Like, is everyone like, yeah, you tell them, Pink.
Or does she come across a bit bitter
that she hasn't been included on their list?
You know? Because
it comes across bitter?
Yeah, right.
I mean, do I think some of
what she said has a little
bit of merit?
Maybe, but yeah, it's pretty
It just feels a little bit like
you got left off the list and you're really
angry
about it. Because it's all opinion anyway.
It's just someone's opinion.
Everything that's printed in those magazines is just somebody's opinion.
It's not definitive fact.
I think I've seen her talk about before how she kind of gets tossed to the side
in terms of in America a lot.
Like the American audience, like they kind of push her to the side
and they don't really give her credit where sometimes credit is due.
But here in New Zealand and Australia, she's probably one of the biggest artists
of the last 15 years.
Yeah.
So there's that real discount.
I remember, like, Australia.
Like, I remember when she toured Australia, 5% of Australia went to her concert.
659,000 people.
That's incredible.
But in America, you never hear It's amazing You never hear of her
You never hear about her
It's interesting
Well she's a legend
Regardless of what
She's commenting on Instagram
She's an icon
She's a legend
She's won Grammys
She's had hit singles
And I do recall
Some of her Grammys performances
And she does all
You know
The aerial stuff
And all that kind of thing
She probably could have been on that list for sure.
It all goes down in the comments section.
That is the latest live out of Los Angeles
with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
Brianne Clint.
What is the best smell in the world?
There's a lot of good ones.
Scientists from the University of Oxford and Karolinska.
Oh, Karolinska. Oh, yeah, of course, Karolinska. Oh, Karolinska.
Oh, yeah, of course, Karolinska.
The Karolinska Institute.
One of my favourite institutes.
Same.
They believe they've identified the world's best smell.
But before we give them credit, what are we like?
What's our favourite smell?
Brie, you said petrol before, but I'd like you to choose something else.
Petrol is a nice smell in small sniffs.
Yeah.
Just a small sniff.
As someone who worked in a gas station for too long,
I can't handle it.
Yeah, too much.
It actually gives you a massive headache.
It kills your brain cells.
It does.
Not good.
Don't recommend it.
Maybe a small sniff though.
What if you wore it as perfume?
You know I had this idea a few years ago to make petrol into a perfume
or to make a petrol-smelling candle.
Now, do the math on that.
Oh, bad idea.
Not a good idea.
It would go up very quickly.
So give me something else, not petrol.
I'd have to say one of my favourite smells,
and maybe it's the memories attached to it.
I don't know.
It's when rain hits bitumen, hot bitumen.
Oh, yeah, rain on hot concrete.
Or grass or like, you know, just that.
Everyone knows that smell.
Summer rain.
Summer rain when it's been real hot.
That's a good one.
Anastasia, what's the best smell in the world according to you?
But niche, but new tennis balls.
Oh, I like new tennis balls.
The can, they come and, because it's always sealed.
Yeah.
And new shoes and books.
You said petrol as well.
Yeah.
And now you're saying new tennis balls.
It was a very chemically.
Yeah, I just, I love, I think it's new rubber.
I think that's what it is.
But rubber is petrol, eh?
You might like this other one that I have.
What about new, like, technology products?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like when you open, like, an Apple iPad. Don't any of, like, technology products? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anything that's plastic.
Like when you open, like, an Apple iPad.
Don't any of you like a natural smell?
An Apple iPad when you first open it?
Right.
I don't like any of Bree's natural smells.
Sorry, no.
No, not many people do.
My favourite, thanks for asking, is the smell of fresh laundry out of the dryer.
Oh, yeah, that's nice.
Like sheets out of the dryer. Oh, yeah, that's nice.
Like sheets out of the dryer.
Yeah.
Depending if you've washed the clothes well enough though.
And also depending if you don't.
Or if you haven't left them for too long, you know.
That's one of the worst smells, can I say?
Yeah.
Musty washing.
Musty washing.
Putting on a musty T-shirt.
Dirty T-touch.
And then your body warms up the T-shirt and the fragrance starts moving.
Nothing worse than that.
Okay, back to the study.
They presented different scents to 235 people from nine different cultures around the world to keep it fair.
They included chemicals that smelled like sweaty feet, decaying fish, mushrooms, lavender and other spices.
And the winner was, anybody want to guess what the world's best smell is?
It would be something that they've put into a candle.
Like sandalwood.
Not sandalwood.
Vanilla?
Vanilla caramel.
It's vanilla.
Is it vanilla?
Vanilla.
Boring.
No one likes vanilla. No, no, no, no, no. Is it vanilla? Yeah. Vanilla. Boring. No one likes vanilla.
No, no, no, no, no.
Everyone likes vanilla.
It's just vanilla is like so vanilla.
There's a reason why you say you're so vanilla.
You know when you go to a candle store,
I never go, I'd love a vanilla candle.
And yet I love the smell of vanilla.
But I just don't want to be a vanilla guy.
You know? I don't want to be vanilla. You want to be chocolate. You are.
Okay, I understand.
Vanilla produced from
an orchid, specifically.
Came out as the most preferred smell.
Followed by
peaches.
Yeah, I vibe that. And then a lavender
scent. Oh, nah. Lavender's a bit
much for me sometimes. It reminds me of Nana. Like old. And you hate Nana, right? Nah. And then a lavender scent. Oh, nah. Lavender's a bit much for me sometimes.
It reminds me of Nana.
Like old.
And you hate Nana, right?
Nah, she's a legend.
Yeah, Nana, if you're listening, screw you.
There you go, everybody.
If you're looking for an alternative to your petrol-flavoured candle at the moment,
why not try vanilla?

Right now,
stick around if you want to hear
two people struggle,
fight
to get through something horrible.
Why are we doing this?
Because we're zany
radio people. Why are we turning into the
Eating Challenges radio show?
Because it's funny.
It's our pain.
We're putting ourselves in pain.
I know, but it gives other people joy for just a few minutes of pain.
Well, I actually saw this on TikTok.
It was a couple, and I've seen it done before millions of times.
We've done the hot sauce thing.
We've put that to bed.
And I saw this couple who decided to take on the most sour lolly challenge.
Okay.
And what you're about to hear is two people who I think the lollies they're eating are called zombies.
Right.
And they're extremely sour.
Take a listen to these two people struggle.
Oh, it's Oh, my mouth is salivating just listening to that.
I've got so much saliva in my mouth. So I tried to go online. It's coming from the sides of my mouth is salivating just listening to that. I've got so much saliva in my mouth.
So I tried to go online.
It's coming from the sides of my mouth.
It's like flooding my mouth with saliva and I haven't even had anything yet.
I tried to get those exact lollies,
but it was going to cost me about $170 in shipping from the UK.
So instead, I went online and I've got these
from the Remarkable Sweet Shop in Queenstown.
And these are called Mega Sour Raspberry.
Mega Sour Raspberry.
So I was thinking, you know, obviously those two people, they do one lolly.
I mean, who can't do one?
Careful.
I think we should do two.
Okay, yeah, I can do two.
Just for fun.
Yeah, I'll do two.
Here you go, take two. For those listening, these are raspberry flavoured, I can do two. Just for fun. Yeah, I'll do two. Here you go, take two.
For those listening, these are
raspberry flavoured, I assume, but
they're radioactive green. Technically, we're
about to put blue balls into our mouth.
Bon appetit. Bon appetit. Okay,
you ready? Now, the person, now, what's
the deal? We have to keep it in
there for 60 seconds.
60 seconds?
I think that's good.
Okay, ready?
Okay.
Cheers.
Anastasia, can you start a timer, please?
Okay.
Five, four, three.
Oh, my God, my mouth is so wet.
My mouth is juicy.
Okay, we're going to put them in.
Okay, hang on.
Okay, ready?
Okay, three, two, one.
Okay, three, two, one.
Here we go.
Whoa. Oh, ready? Okay, three, two, one. Okay, three, two, one. Here we go. Oh, God.
It's so bad.
Oh, God.
I can't see.
I had to take one out.
Sorry.
It's burning my teeth.
I can't feel my tongue.
Anastasia, how long is that?
Time's up.
You're just hitting 30 seconds now.
Okay, suck hard, it'll come off.
Fuck.
I'm stuck with a pool card.
Snap.
Oh my God, it's so sour.
Oh, oh.
It's horrible, my teeth are gonna fall out.
I think I'm gonna give you a sweet bit.
Okay, okay, I like it.
Time check.
I'm sweating.
Ten, nine, eight.
Okay, I'm good. I'm good, I sucked it off.
You sucked it off?
I sucked it off.
Is that time?
And you're done. Mine feels sour.
Oh, man.
I can't feel my teeth.
Once you get all that stuff off the outside.
You guys are a bunch of wusses.
Quite nice.
I'm sweating.
I had to take one out after about 10 seconds.
Can't you fit two balls in at one time?
No, there's no room in there, man.
Oh, that was...
Hey, that was fun.
Thanks for that, Brie.
Horrible.
Need a boy who can cuddle.
Brie and Clint.
It's time for Google Town.
Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?
What the hell?
I think Google's actually...
The text machine.
I'm just checking it.
Would you rather be...
Christ on a bike, Davis.
Oh, don't be mean to Dave.
Would you rather be a shower or a grower?
Grower.
Grower?
Yeah.
Nah, shower.
I can shower.
Because then you show off.
Does it mean anything, though?
No, no.
No, it doesn't. Wait, what are we talking about? off. Does it mean anything though? No, no. No, it doesn't.
Wait, what are we talking about? I don't know.

I'm going to give it to Emily because you started answering something else.
Yeah, that's a fair point.
That's a good shout.
Come on.
Good job, Em.
Nice work, Emily.
It was 1681.
I'm playing this game for you.
Is that two to Emily?
It is two to Emily.
She's unheard of, Emily.
We have not had this before.
Yeah.
And here's a fun fact for you.
The dodo is frequently cited as one of the most well-known examples
of human-induced extinction.
We killed the dodo.
We did, yes.
All right, two to Emily.
You can take it here, Emily.
Question number three. How old
is Will Smith's oldest son?
How old? 28.
Anastasia's out.
Just visiting Metro.UK to read an article about all of his children.
This is a lot.
Face of heart.
What did you say, Emily?

No, that is Jaden.
Oh, I've got time now.
Megan, are you still there?
Yeah, I'm still here.
I'm just reading.
Oh, damn it.
How old is Will Smith's oldest son?
I keep on finding the answers.

Oh, my God.

Clint finally gets it right.
Oh, my God.
These are hard questions.
They're not that hard.
No, because they're not coming up.
No, I like it.
I like it.
If you listen to the rules, I say these exact questions I've put into Google.
So that could be a clue.

Everyone else is on zero.

Yes.
I have a question for Bree and Clutch.
Yes.
Who makes ginger nuts?
Griffins.
Ed Sheeran.
Arnott's.
Every time I've run you guys and mentioned I work for Arnott's,
you tell me about ginger nuts.
Oh, is the answer to who makes ginger nuts?
Is it Griffins?
Is it Emily?
It's you.
Google says Arnott's.
I used to stop them.
That'll be a question in next week's Google Down.
We appreciate Emily. The 50 KFC's Google Down. We appreciate, Emily.
The 50 KFC chicken dollars is going to you, mate.
No.
Bree and Clint.
I saw this article about what foods are really bad for your dog.
Okay.
Which, I mean, owning a dog now,
you have to be kind of very aware of what you feed them
and what you don't feed them.
Chocolate, eh?
Chocolate.
Well, chocolate's the one that everyone knows, right?
Which can make them very sick.
It can kill them depending on how much they have.
But some of these other ones I didn't really know about.
So let's go through them.
This is for everyone who's got a dog, which I'm sure there's heaps of people.
Or anyone who wants to eat like a dog.
Yes, yeah. Or, yeah, anyone who's looking to get a dog, which I'm sure there's heaps of people. Or anyone who wants to eat like a dog. Yes, yeah.
Or, yeah, anyone who's looking to get a dog.
So the first thing is anything in the onions family.
Really?
So onions, garlic, chives, all the onion stuff.
Wow.
So apparently...
No onion bhaji for your dog.
Yeah, it can cause gastrointestinal irritation and red blood cell damage.
Oh, it can cause gastrointestinal issues for humans too.
Whatever that thing is.
An onion bargy can leave you with a bit of gastro issues, can't it?
It's very true.
So the next thing, which I mean I definitely haven't given this to my dog, avocado.
Really?
I would have thought good fats, get this to my dog. Avocado. Really? Mm-hmm. I would have thought good fats.
Get it in the dog.
Avocado plants contain a substance called persin,
which is in its leaves, fruit, and seed,
and can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs.
Really?
Yeah, didn't know that.
This one I think is pretty standard.
He can have a steak, but he can't avocado.
No, can't avocado.
Artificial sweetener, which I mean, makes sense.
Who's giving their dog artificial sweetener?
That's like lollies and soft drinks.
You make your dog a cup of tea and you pop an equal in there
because he's watching his weight.
He's like, do you want the equal or do you want the sugar?
I mean, that's pretty scary.
Do you want Coke Stevia or do you want...
That's not artificial, eh?
That's not artificial.
Oh, yeah, that's not.
The next thing, macadamia nuts.
Can't give those to dogs.
Well, I wouldn't.
Those particular type of nuts.
Macadamia nuts contain a toxin that can affect your dog's muscles and nervous system, resulting
in weakness, swollen libs and panting.
I wouldn't give your dog any nuts.
Oh, my dog Whitney Houston is going to be...
Sorry, finish the list. Hurry up. give your dog any nuts? Oh, my dog Whitney Houston is going to be... For these nuts.
Sorry, finish the list.
Hurry up. My dog is going to be
devoid to hear about this.
Alcohol.
Can't give that to dogs.
I've seen a lot of people
on the internet
giving their dog a beer.
Nah.
At the end of the day,
they have a beer with their dog.
Even in small doses,
it can be very,
very bad for the dog.
Yeah, seems obvious.
Cooked bones,
which I knew this one
because they can
when they chew on a cooked bone
it can shatter and then stab
their inside parts.
I definitely have given Whitney
this before. Grapes.
Oh, okay. And raisins.
Dogs can't have grapes and raisins. Yeah,
apparently not.
The active ingredient which causes the toxin
is unknown.
However, both grapes and raisins may cause severe liver damage.
I'm not going to give those to Whitney anymore.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I don't think I've given her many.
I think, you know, maybe one.
She's a pretty fancy dog.
I can imagine you hand feeding her pre-peeled grapes.
Mate, she ain't that fancy.
I'll tell you that for free.
And that's it.
And chocolate is on the list as well.
Oh, there you go.
If you were out at the moment grabbing some
avocado, grapes and
macadamia nuts for your dog for dinner,
back to the drawing board, I think.
Unfortunately.
Thanks for bringing it up.
My sister called me that too, so that's weird.
Bree just opened old words. She goes, man, you got
big nostrils? And I said, yeah, thanks. My brothers used to call me pig nose. My sister used to call me that too, so that's weird. Bree just opened old wounds. She goes, man, you got big nostrils. And I said, yeah, thanks.
My brothers used to call me pig nose.
My sister used to call me that.
Did she?
Legit.
Oh, my God, we've got shared trauma.
Yeah.
It's brought us closer together.
I can just always see boogies in your nose.
Because I always have boogies in my nose.
I always have boogies too.
It's also because I'm taller than you and I'm taller than a lot of people.
Flex.
But it means that my nostrils are much more visible.
I don't see your nostrils.
Whatever you want to say.
You've got to use the boogers.
I look down on your nose.
You look up into my nose.
Booger?
Big ones.
Yeah, always do.
Big meteors.
Always do.
Hey, massive, mahoosive news in the entertainment industry.
Oh, you hit me.
You know how we love to talk Kardashians on this show.
Not particularly.
I think we actively avoid them most of the time.
Yeah, we do.
But this was quite interesting to me that Kourtney Kardashian,
the eldest sister, obviously been dating Travis Barker,
drummer from Blink-182.
Do you know he proposed six months ago?
Yeah, I think we covered it.
I think we did, yeah.
He proposed six months ago but reports out today
that they got secretly married on Monday night.
You know, that is strange because that family doesn't do anything secretly.
Yeah.
Like everything they do is-
Quite unusual.
I don't want to say premeditated, but it's leveraged, you know?
Orchestrated.
And there's millions of dollars, whether you like it or not,
there's millions of dollars to be made from a Kardashian wedding.
Yes.
So for them to go and do it in private, oh my God,
Kris Jenner, the evil boss of the Kardashians,
is not going to be happy.
Not happy.
She's going to say, well, please, at least tell me you filmed the sex tape.
Yeah.
Please.
Well, did you at least film some stuff at the chapel?
Like, did you at least get a little bit of it on the iPhone?
You've got to give me something.
You've got to give me something.
So they exchanged vows in a Las Vegas chapel,
and it was straight after Travis's performance at the Grammys.
Yeah. And apparently the one thing that they needed, they had to have,
because I think it was just them two at one of the White Chapels in Las Vegas.
You've got to have a witness, don't you?
Well, the only thing that they said they needed was to have Elvis Presley,
an Elvis Presley impersonator, officiate the wedding.
See, I rate it.
I really rate that.
Shortland Street,
former Shortland Street star Grace Palmer
did that with her boyfriend.
They eloped in Las Vegas.
They got married at the White Chapel.
I think it's an awesome thing to do.
It's very cool.
Very rock and roll, isn't it?
Your parents might not agree
and Grandma Knight might also agree.
My mum would be on board.
Nah, she wouldn't.
Not if you didn't invite her.
Yeah, but.
Not if you didn't invite her.
If you got married and she didn't get to go to your wedding,
she would be ropeable.
As long as we had a party when we got back, I think she'd be fine.
Nah, especially if Elvis was there.
Yeah, she'd be devo.
She'd be devo.
She would be real upset.
Yeah.
I was thinking it's quite an interesting thing
when people get married like secretly or, you know, with just them.
Like it's not super common, is it?
It's pretty romantic.
Yeah, I think so too.
Would you say what's the difference between getting married like in secret
and then eloping?
Well, there's no difference.
It's just the difference may be that you've gotten married
and not told anybody even now.
Like your marriage is a secret.
Which might be the case if your families don't approve of each other
and you've had to keep your actual marriage,
not just the wedding, a secret.
Right, that's eloping.
Whereas getting married in secret and then you come back
and you're like, yeah, we're married.
That's eloping. I want married in secret and then you come back and you're like, yeah, we're married, that's... Different story.
That's eloping, yeah. I want people to call up this afternoon.
I'll wait 100 dials at M. You can remain
anonymous if you need to.
But did you get married in secret
and why? And do you
recommend it? Yeah. If people listening right now
don't want to do the whole expensive
wedding thing and all the guests
and should we all get married in secret?
Save money.
Yeah.
I like that.
Have a massive honeymoon instead.
0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696.
Did you get married in secret and why?
Bree and Clint.
But right now we're talking secret marriages.
Have you done it?
Did you elope?
Do people still not know?
That would be really
interesting to me. Yeah. If you're married in secret and your marriage has been going on for
a bit and people don't know you're married. Yeah. What's the deal? There's some amazing
texts coming through on this. Someone texts through and they said, we're not married yet,
but my fiance and I are planning to go to Rarotonga in June and secretly get married.
Then at our actual wedding in April next year,
we're going to have a non-official celebrant announce to everyone
that we are already married and she can't officially marry us
because she isn't actually a celebrant
and that we got married in secret last year.
Oh, that's fun.
That's pretty fun.
And then everyone's like, oh, a waste of my time. Oh, I can't believe I turned up for this. I brought my good clothes
for the stupid fake wedding. I love it. I love it so much. Someone else
said, not me, but my grandparents got married in secret.
They got married at the courthouse because my granddad was Croatian and my
grandmother wasn't. So their families didn't approve. After
they were married, they went back to their own homes
and didn't tell anyone for months.
Wow.
Isn't that crazy?
I wonder how they finally broke the news.
Yeah.
Because it's one thing to go, hey, I'm engaged to someone
who's not part of our culture, if that's important to your family.
But then to go, I'm not just engaged to them,
I'm already married to them.
That's true love right there.
Being like, screw it, I'm marrying the person I love.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Did you get married in secret?
Yes.
Tell us about it.
Tell us.
Well, yes, we did it in February.
We had both been married when we were a lot younger
and we did the big beautiful wedding and everything.
But I think that the vows kind of came last
in both of our separate weddings.
So when we got married just recently,
we wanted to put the vows first,
and it kind of didn't make any sense
to make a wedding about who we invite
and what we put on for everybody.
It was so personal and private,
it just didn't make sense to invite people anymore.
So where did you, what's the deal?
Where did you have your secret wedding?
We did it in Cable Bay.
Okay.
And in the South Island.
And who was there?
It was me and my partner.
And we've had the official part done as well.
So very small.
So no one.
Nobody.
No one was there.
No, except for us and the people that needed to be there for the thing.
The officiating.
Wow.
Romantic.
Well done.
Very romantic.
Yeah, it was so romantic and beautiful.
Is this the real one?
Is this one going to last?
Yes.
We worked really hard on it.
That's all we did.
We were like, don't worry about anything else.
Because Anonymous, it's awesome if it doesn't work out because no one knows anyway. Yes, we worked really hard enough. That's all we did. We were like, don't worry about anything else.
Because Anonymous, it's awesome if it doesn't work out because no one knows anyway.
That's true.
Why is she crying so much and eating so much chocolate?
We didn't know she was married.
No idea.
Let's talk to another Anonymous person.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi.
So I haven't actually got married in secret.
Right.
But my mum asked me to elope, and she was 100% serious.
So she was there.
Yeah.
She asked you to elope with your partner?
Yes.
Why?
Yeah, because it would stop the hassle of a marriage.
Oh, right.
She was there when my partner proposed,
and the first thing she turned to me and said is, elope, wait, so your mum doesn't want the hassle of your wedding?
Well, just the hassle of a wedding, just with families and stuff.
She doesn't want to pay for it anonymous, that's what I think.
Doesn't want to cough up the money.
Is it a bit of family drama?
Would it be a bit of drama to get the families together?
No, it's actually not.
It's just, I think she's...
So why doesn't she want you to have a big-ass wedding?
That doesn't make sense to me.
Wait a minute.
Did your mum have a big wedding?
Yeah, I think so.
But we're getting married in three months.
And what sort of wedding are you having?
A big wedding.
Yeah, right.
Interesting.
Fuzzy.
Imagine, I'm just picturing my mum turning to me and going,
you better elope because I spent all the money on your sister.
I was on a high. I was so happy to be engaged. This was like moments after and going, you better elope because I spent all the money on your sister. I was on a high.
I was so happy to be engaged.
This was like moments after and then, yeah.
Yeah, weird.
Okay.
Interesting call from mum.
This text is outrageous.
Someone texted through and they said, yep, got married in secret in Wellington.
Still haven't told our families.
Took two hours off work.
Used the taxi driver who took us to births, deaths and marriages as one witness
and the jeweller who made our rings as the other.
I wore the ring on the wrong hand.
Never spoke of it to anyone ever again.
Still married.
Anniversary was three days ago.
21 years married.
That's incredible.
What?
You've been secretly married for 21 years.
I love that so much.
That's quite romantic.
That is very romantic.
But at the same time.
Because it's for them, though.
Yeah, true.
You know, they're getting married for them.
Yeah.
Finally, Kat is here.
You had a secret marriage, Kat.
I did, yeah.
Secret wedding, sorry.
Could be both.
Tell us what happened.
Well, basically, we were
going overseas for a holiday,
and we were going to Vegas, so we were like,
this would be funny, why don't we just
do it? So we did.
Yes, Kat, and please
tell me, who officiated your wedding?
It wasn't Elvis, because we went there because I wanted Elvis.
And it was like a funeral home.
It was hideous.
So we went to this other place next door and got this crazy lady, bloody, what was she, South African?
And she did it.
And I actually had my sister there from the UK.
They came to the UK.
We went from New Zealand, met in Vegas, did a little trip.
We did the Green Canyon the next day for the honeymoon.
Awesome.
Yeah, I love that.
And is the marriage still alive?
Yep, we're four years this year.
Oh, perfect.
And it cost you barely anything compared to a normal wedding.
A thousand dollars.
It was so mean. Like, I've already had a normal wedding. A thousand dollars. It was so mean.
Like, I've already had a white wedding previously.
Yeah.
Stripped my bank account.
This was amazing.
Went in, did the deed, got out, got drunk.
It was fantastic.
I mean, you lost it all on the pokies afterwards,
but, you know, it was still great at the time.
We want to take a night to you.
Brie and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
Right, here we go.
Birthday banger for a Wednesday.
Three people.
What was the song that was top in the charts on their 16th?
Well, we're going to play our favourite one.
Let's welcome to the show this afternoon, Rhys.
Hi, Rhys.
G'day, Rhys.
How are you doing, team?
Good, mate.
How are you? Oh, I'm well, thank you. Oh, good to hear, Rhys. Let's Rhys. G'day, Rhys. How are you doing, team? Good, mate. How are you?
Oh, I'm well, thank you.
Oh, good to hear, Rhys.
Let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
I think we just need to delay Rhys a few seconds.
Oh, right.
Let's make some chatty banter with Rhys.
Rhys, how was your day?
Tell us about it.
Yeah, not too bad.
Pumping out some long hours at Mahi, so, you know.
What do you do for Mahi, Rhys?
Oh, I'm a sparky.
Oh, yep.
Oh, yep.
Yep, yep, yep, yep. Good to have a trade? Yeah, it's a very nice Oh, I'm a Sparky. Oh, yeah. Oh, yep. Yep, yep, yep.
Good to have a trade.
Yeah, very nice.
It's a little windy Wellington today, though, but wet.
All right, well, we're going to point back on hold, Reece,
because we're still sorting out the BTS.
You don't want to ask him some stuff about being a Sparky.
Okay, all right.
You know stuff about being a Sparky.
All right, Reece, you ever electrocuted yourself, mate?
Oh, I've had a couple.
Have you?
Really?
They're not too bad, though.
They've given me a bit of a wake-up.
Okay.
Why did you pick being a sparky over, like, another trade?
That's a good question.
Actually, my brother was also an electrician.
Oh, we're ready to go.
Okay, we're ready to do it.
Oh, I was interested in that story that Rhys was telling.
Yeah, no, we're quickly running out of time now, though.
What was Rhys' birthday?
We got it?
No, I don't think he gave it to me.
29th of June, 1999.
Hi, Rhys.
You were 16 in 2015.
And on the 29th of June, on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
You are something I can't replace.
You made my heart burn.
You're making me stronger. It's Tiny Temper.
Tiny Temper, Not Letting Go, featuring Jess Glynn.
Oh, what do you reckon about this, Rhys?
It's not bad.
It's not bad.
All singers are going to be like One Direction or something.
Yeah, right?
That's a vibe.
Tiny Temper and Jess Glynn, that's vibes.
He was massive.
Okay, wait there, Rhys.
It's a great birthday banger.
We'll do one for Waimaria.
Hi, Waimaria.
Hello, mate.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
How's your day been?
Pretty good.
Just picked up the kids, so heading on home.
Oh, good.
What's the kids' names?
Are they there with you?
Yeah, they are.
It's Emma, Peyton and Charlotte.

All right.
You were 16 in 1996.
And on the 20th of February, 96, this was number one.
There's a banger.
Do you like it?
Yeah, love it.
It's a tune tonight.
He was so big for a little bit, Shaggy A.
He was huge.
Remember he did the Austin Powers theme song as well one year?
That's right.
Yeah.
That's when you know you've made it.
That song, It Wasn't Me, I think was the biggest song of the year
when it came out.
Okay, we've got a Tiny Timber song.
We've got a TLC song.
We've got a Shaggy song.
What is your gut telling you, Bree?
My gut is telling me miserable mastic. My gut is telling me TLC song. We've got a Shaggy song. What is your gut telling you, Brie? My gut is telling me Mr. Bombastic.
My gut is telling me TLC.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, damn, I'm pretty.
I do like that song.
The opening chords of that song.
Oh, yeah, it is iconic, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's the opening chords for Mr. Bombastic?
Oh, good question. Stop Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's... What's the opening cause for Mr. Boombastic? Oh, good question.
Oh, so good.
Okay, who's going to flip their vote?
We'll vote one more time, okay?
Okay, on three.
Three, two, one.
Mr. Boombastic.
Yeah!
Sune, you picked it up, mate.
Yeah, awesome.
Enjoy this, man. Just one birthday b. Yeah, awesome. Enjoy this man.
Just one birthday banger.
Brian Clint.
Here's some shoggy from ZM.
Brian Clint.
Look, last week, Clint, something massive happened for you.
Yeah.
You finally got to tell your hero that you loved him.
Oh, Dan Carter.
I thought you were going to say my daughter turned one, but yeah, actually.
Oh, yeah, I mean that too.
That one, yeah.
Yeah, that too.
That was bigger for me, yeah.
Both just as big as each other.
But pretty special moment.
You got to talk to your actual hero, Dan Carter.
I know.
You go on and on and on about it, organised an interview for you.
He's doing an amazing thing.
With my friend Dan Carter.
Sorry, your friend Dan Carter.
He's doing an amazing thing where he's going to attempt to kick,
I think, over 1,500 field goals in a 24-hour kick-a-thon
to raise money for the kids in the Pacific to have clean water
and all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, for UNICEF.
For UNICEF, which is really awesome.
There was something that he said in the interview that really pricked up my ears.
Yeah.
And it was about, you know, you going down for a kick.
Yeah, that's right.
During this 24-hour kick-a-thon.
Yeah.
Which is why I've went and done this.
This Friday, Clint Roberts will be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to kick one penalty with his childhood hero, Dan Carter, at Eden Park.
That's right, Clint.
I've made it happen.
This Friday evening, you will get to kick once during the 24-hour kick-a-thon with Dan Carter, your childhood hero.
Once.
Wait, childhood hero?
We're the same age, but okay.
One kick?
One kick.
One moment to claim glory.
You could have given me some time to practice.
I can't even kick.
I'm not a kicker.
Mate, it's not about that.
That's what makes this even more triumphant.
You could have given me some time to do like a coaching clinic
with Dan Carter or something.
I mean, you're asking a lot.
The guy doesn't want to spend a whole afternoon with you.
He just wants you to come in, you do the kick,
he gets some promo for it and we leave.
Okay.
Okay?
Maybe I could practice on the post at the other end of the field
for a little bit.
I mean, what you do in the next three days in the lead up to this kick is up to you.
Right.
I will leave that up to you.
So when am I kicking?
So you will be kicking this Friday night.
Yeah.
At Eden Park.
On Eden Park.
On Eden Park.
That's reserved for the greats.
Dan Carter, one of the greats.
Oh my God.
And if you miss, there will be consequences.
Oh, my God, I've got so much to think about.
Which of my All Blacks jerseys am I going to wear?
So that could be some of the consequences.
We'll talk about that tomorrow.
Really?
We'll talk about that tomorrow.
We're going to drip feed you the information.
All you need to know is that this Friday, you will get your dream.
It's huge for me.
It's huge for my family. Will it be a nightmare or a dream? It's huge for me. It's huge for my family.
Will it be a nightmare or a dream?
It's huge for my children.
It'll go well.
It'll go well.
I'm naturally talented.
One kick, one opportunity
to seize everything you ever wanted.
Yeah, I need to start practising.
I need to start limbering up my hamstring.
Yeah, you need to stretch out those hammies.
Anyway, it's very exciting, mate.
I'm very happy for you.
And I can't wait to see you potentially maybe kick it.
Yeah, bring it on.
We'll see how it goes.
Bree and Clint.
Do you think New Zealand is a stressful country to drive in?
Hey, get out of my way!
No!
Hey!
Why do you let me in, you prick?
A study has taken into consideration factors including speed cameras,
like frequency of speed cameras, quality of driving infrastructure,
aka roads, number of fatal accidents,
and the number of cars per kilometre of road in 49 countries around the world.
Right.
And New Zealand has been placed on the list.
Now, do you think we're stressful or not stressful?
Not stressful.
Well, I can reveal to you that New Zealand is one of the 20 least stressful countries in the world for driving.
I knew it.
To be fair, we're number 20, but we are on the list still.
What's number one? Interesting, eh?
Number one. Okay, number three. Yes. Japan.
What?
Yeah, I know. I've been to Japan.
I know. And it's stressful. I think it's
because the people are so polite. They are very
polite. I think that could have something to do with it.
Number two, Finland.
Okay, I haven't been to Finland. They will have
a shot of vodka, Finnish vodka before they relax. Yeah, just to chill out. And number one, Finland. Okay, I haven't been to Finland. They will have a shot of vodka, Finnish vodka, before they...
They're relaxed.
Yeah, just to chill out.
And number one, Denmark.
Least stressful country to drive in.
I've also never been there.
No, I don't know what it'd be like to drive in Denmark.
It sounds nice, though.
It sounds lovely.
Everything in Denmark sounds nice.
It does.
What about the most stressful countries?
Oh, I've been to a few countries in the world that I was very stressed.
Even just walking across the road. Vietnam. Oh, Vietnam've been to a few countries in the world that I was very stressed. Even just walking across the road.
Vietnam.
Oh, Vietnam.
Very stressful.
I love Vietnam.
One of my favorite places in the whole world.
The roads.
Not for driving.
I would never drive there.
There's just cars going everywhere.
And scooters.
Scooters, the amount of scooters.
Because I didn't see any accidents when I was there.
But I was like, oh my God, this is a nightmare.
If you cross the road in Vietnam, you just walk.
You just step out and start walking.
And they swerve you.
If you hesitate, you'll cause an accident.
You have to just keep walking in one fluid line.
There's trucks zinging past you.
There's scooters.
There are no Asian countries in the top three most stressful.
How?
Yeah, I know. Bali's also three most stressful How? Yeah, I know
Bali's also stressful
Is it?
Yeah, and Thailand
Bali?
Bali
Doesn't everyone like shakabra, chill out, man
In Bali, there's no real rules
Everyone kind of just pushes in
Really?
There's no real like, yeah, traffic rules
Well, the third most stressful country to drive in is Turkey
Okay, because it's busy, isn't it?
Because it's busy
Yeah
Second most stressful country to drive in is Turkey. Okay. Because it's busy, isn't it? Because it's busy. Yeah.
Second most stressful country to drive in is Bulgaria.
Right.
And the most stressful country in the world for driving, the United Arab Emirates.
And I'm pretty sure that's because there's no speed limit.
And they all have like Ferraris and Maseratis. And Lamborghinis and Bugattis.
And McLarens.
And if you reverse into one of those you'll go bankrupt
for the rest of your life
exactly
imagine crossing the road
in uh
when you're there
okay just go
when there's a
I couldn't even
afford to get
hit by a car
on the UAE
