Brie and Clint.
Sit in.
Brie and Clint.
And I'm feeling good.
Oh, how good's a long weekend?
Oh my God, how good's a long weekend?
We apologise to anyone listening who didn't get a long weekend.
Oh yeah, sorry about that, yeah.
But how good is a long weekend?
Oh my God, how good's a long weekend?
So good.
It kind of just restores my faith in life.
It makes me feel like things are okay.
You're like, oh.
You're next your day off and you're like, oh, you know what?
Everything's fine.
I love this.
Everything's fine.
You just slow down a bit.

Love it.
Watch the rugby league.
Oh, the rugby league.
Drunk some cheap beers.
Yeah, the RSA is a good time.
Underrated.
Yeah, didn't go on the pokies though.
I'd be glad to know.
Actually, you're the pokey queen in this show.
Not me.
Yeah.
I don't play the pokies that often.
Every time I've been out with you and there's been pokies,
you've played and won.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay, I'll take that.
Yeah, remember that last time we were in Rotorua
and you won on the pokies?
T's and C's apply.
You don't always win on the pokies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Actually, you hardly ever win.
Almost never.
Yeah, Clint remembers all the times that I've won
because he likes to gamble, but he doesn't remember all the times I've lost. Yeah. Clint remembers all the times that I've won because he likes to gamble, but he
doesn't remember all the times I've lost.
Yeah, right. Which is more than
I've won. Look, this show is a cautionary tale,
alright? Just take everything we say with
a pinch of salt.
Today on the show, some good prizes. We're going to
add the last item to our cart at
four o'clock and give it away at five o'clock.
We've also got $250
in a Lego prize pack up for grabs with Dino
Discovery. We could be sending you to
Wellington for an awesome Lego experience
at 4.30. We'll give you the chance to get in
that draw today. Yeah, be listening out for that
but we're going to kick off the show as always
with Tradie vs Lady. We've got
$50 cash up for grabs thanks to KFC.
If you want to play, call now
0800 dials at it.
Long weekend, you forget the phone number.
Forgotten how to say the phone number.
Yeah.
Time for Tradie vs Lady.
Here we go, a long weekend, but the scores remain here for Tradie vs Lady.
We've been playing all year and the ladies are on 52 wins for the year.
The tradies on 41.
Dominant from the ladies, is all I will say.
We'll go to our lady first.
She is calling in from Palmerston North.
She's 25 years old, and she loves Asian food.
Welcome to the show, Danae.
G'day, Danae.
Hello.
Any particular type of Asian food?
Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese?
Probably Vietnamese.
Oh.
Vietnamese is like my top two cuisines, like equal with Italian.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
Yeah, probably the same.
Yeah.
It's just so fresh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And delicious.
And a pho.
And a pho.
Yeah.
Here's my tip.
So good.
I've been travelling in Vietnam.
Very cheap to eat in Vietnam.
Yeah, extremely cheap.
Yeah, so good.
Yeah, okay.
You're taking on our tradie today.
They're calling in from Auckland.
They're 21 years old and they love the pokies, just like Bree.
Welcome to the show, Liam.
G'day, Liam.
Are you betting five cents at a time or are you just going a dollar bet?
Yeah, yeah.
It depends how many beers I've had, eh?
The old brickies laptop, eh?
100%.
Again, we also don't condone gambling when you've been drinking.
The old builder's keyboard.
All right, Liam, your buzzer is tradie.
Danae, yours is lady.
First to three correct answers gets $50 cash from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
We can't not stop now.
I'm feeling hip-hop.
Gotta stand up.
We got it locked down.
I'm ready to rock.
Scotty.
Yes, Liam.
Liam.
Is it Scribe?
Yeah.
It is, of course, Scribe.
The goat.
Question number two.
One to the tradies.
What is the hardest natural known substance on earth?
Lady?
Yes, Danae?
Gold?
No, gold's very soft, actually.
Gold's quite soft, yeah.
Liam, you want to guess?
Yeah, diamond.
Diamonds.
They say under extreme pressure, you get diamonds.
Yeah. They can also get diamonds. Yeah.
They can also cut glass.
Yeah, very, very hard material.
Two to the tradies.
You need this one here, Danae, to stay in it.
Question number three.
What colour are the aircraft black boxes?
Lady.
Yes, Danae.
Black.
It's incorrect. Liam?e. Black. It's incorrect.
Liam?
Blue.
No.
We're looking for orange or bright orange is technically the colour of a black box.
Bad name for it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I believe it's that colour so they can find it in a crash.
Yeah, we'll call it the orange box then.
Yeah, not the black box.
No points there for anyone.
Question number four, still two to the tradies.
What has a head and a tail but does not have a body?
Lady?
Yes, Danae?
A snake?
Ooh.
Technically has a body.
Liam?
I'll go for coin.
He's got it.
That was pretty sharp, that last one.
How did you get that, Liam?
That was impressive.
He's got the mates in the background.
Also, he plays the pokies.
He's seen a lot of coins.
Yeah, they're sharp.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to send you...
Can you guess where the 50 bucks is going?
Yeah, we're going to send you 50 of those coins.
Spend them wisely, please, Liam.
Yeah, I'll try, mate.
I'll try.
It's all thanks to KFC.
Brian Clint.
Brian Clint.
Do you have the worst room in the flat?
And you know you've got the worst room because, I mean, it's pretty obvious.
Everyone knows who's got the worst room.
Everyone will always be like, that's the worst room.
And usually you get a little discount.
When you don't get a little discount, then you're either a pushover
or there's going to be tension in the flat eventually.
The worst room needs to get a discount.
Yeah.
I saw this TikTok of these two lads.
I actually know one of the guys in the TikTok.
They live in Melbourne.
And I believe it's just the two lads in this flat.
Okay.
And when they moved in, one room, clearly bigger, has the en suite.
It's the better room.
Yeah.
Than the other room.
Right?
They came up with this plan that they both wanted the best room.
But obviously, you know, they can't both have the same room or else they'll be bunking together.
I was going to say they could share.
So they decided that they will have a schedule that every six months
they will swap rooms.
Oh, my God.
Edmund.
So they paid the same in rent.
Yeah.
They swap every six months.
Yeah.
So that they get a turn of the room.
It's not that bad of a deal.
Kind of fun.
They said it's a good way.
Anyone who's ever moved flat knows how punishing it is
to pack up all your stuff.
It is.
But a good way to spring clean, that's what they said.
Yeah, for sure.
We've got some audio of the lads talking about it.
Is this bloody genius or downright dumb?
Me and my housemate Jake, we swap rooms every six months.
We were both happy to pay the same
rent and because one room's bigger than the
other and has an en suite, we were like, let's
share. Can be a bit of a pain in the arse, but it's
a good way to clean out your s***, donate stuff and
find some of your favourite kits again.
You would find stuff you'd lost. Absolutely.
Also, have you ever pulled your beard out from the
wall to vacuum behind it?
The dust. Yeah. You know?
Yeah. Good way to spring clean. I thought we could talk to people this afternoon that live in the dungeon to vacuum behind it. The dust. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Good way to spring clean.
I thought we could talk to people this afternoon that live in the dungeon.
Yeah.
And by dungeon, I mean the Harry Potter room under the stairs,
the crappy leftover room that no one wants,
probably wasn't meant to be a room, but now it's a room and you live in it.
Because of the housing crisis, it's now a bedroom.
Yeah.
And we're charging you $300 a week.
Maybe you live in a garage Because of the housing crisis, it's now a bedroom and we're charging you $300 a week. Maybe you live in a garage
that has carpet. Ella said
that she had the Harry Potter dungeon
room at one of the last flats
you were in, right Ella? Yeah. You were in
the stink room? Yeah, like a, I think
it was a cupboard, honestly. I could fit
a king single and that's about it.
It's cosy. Draws?
Did you get drawers in there? Like a
rack. Did it have a window?
Yes.
Oh, not a cupboard then?
Yeah, not technically a cupboard.
Not a cupboard.
Okay, true.
Oh, they could have put that in after.
Oh, window, rich.
God, that's fancy.
Daylight, rich.
Yeah, I know, pretty lucky.
Oh, $800 at M or text yours into 9696.
Did you have the worst room in the flat?
And how much was it?
How much were you paying for it?
And how much were other people paying?
How much was yours, Ella?
It was $80.
Oh, pretty good.
Bree and Clint.
I told you about that friend of mine who, back in the day,
her and her twin sister lived together and they had two other flatmates
and then she went overseas to live for six months.
Yeah.
So they filled her room and then when she came back, she was like, I don't want to live
with anyone else.
Can I live here?
So they turned the garage into a room.
So she could go back into her old flat.
Yeah.
Okay.
So they turned the garage, so they put carpet in the garage, but then all the laundry stuff
was still in the garage.
So they'd have to time the laundry to when she was out.
Someone said, I had the Harry Potter room and the house
and I owned the house.
How does that happen?
Maybe they were trying to save money and make more money for the mortgage.
Maybe they were making money.
Yeah.
There was enough to cover the mortgage and then some extra.
What about this person?
I legit lived in a cupboard for a while.
It was $20.
So cheap.
Shells were in it too.
So handy.
Just a single mattress.
No door, just a curtain.
Well, it's not a cupboard if it doesn't have shelves, you know?
Yeah.
That's what makes it a cupboard.
Yeah, yeah.
Shelves at the bare minimum, please, in my cupboard room.
What about this one?
I had the smallest room in the flat that a double bed and a set of drawers was the only thing that fit in there.
$200 per week and then Wi-Fi and power were on top of that.
The other two flatmates paid the same as me and their rooms were twice the size.
Not fair.
Where were you living?
Yeah, not fair.
Where is it worth it to pay that much for such a crap deal?
And I wonder if the flatmates, like,
did that person find out they were paying the same,
or did the other flatmates just be like, it is what it is?
Someone said, not me, but a friend of mine paid $200 a week
to live in an old backpackers.
The room was mouldy and had a skylight roof that didn't open.
There were no windows.
13 people lived in there too.
Dirty old dunners.
Yeah, they just pack them in, don't they?
200 bucks a week.
Chantel's caught up.
Kia ora, Chantel.
Hi, Chantel.
Hi there.
Tell us, mate, was it you that had the worst room in the flat?
It was, and I was one of the owners as well of the house.
So I bought a tiny little two-bedroom house.
And to help out with the mortgage, we put up a wall, like a proper built wall in the lounge.
So I lived in half of the lounge with no window and was there until like a month ago.
Chantel, how long did you live in the lounge room for?
About a year and a half. That's a decent
amount of time. Why did you give yourself the window free side? It was your house.
Why didn't you choose the side that had a window in it? Yeah, good point. But then it would
be, yeah, the lounge side was then connected to the
dining room. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
It was kind of like-
Did you cut the lounge in half so you could have a half-sized lounge so the house still
had a lounge?
Yeah.
Right, okay.
Oh, Chantelle, you should have given yourself the window side because everyone knows glare
in the lounge room is no good.
Yeah, true.
Do you know what?
That didn't even cross my mind.
Yeah, no one wants a window in the lounge room.
Not judging or anything, and obviously nothing's going to leave
this conversation, but
like, did you go to the council
to get permission to put up that wall
in the lounge? Yeah, she would have been all above board,
right, Chantelle? Yeah, yeah.
Just say yes, Chantelle. Yeah.
I had a proper builder and everything, so
all fine. She's got the paperwork.
Yeah. Don't ask to see it, but she's got it.
I definitely believe you, Chantel.
We believe you.
100% Chantel.
All above board.
Brie, how's your spelling?
Are you a good speller?
Nope.
Are you not?
I feel like you're an okay speller.
I'm a better speller than I am at math.
I was always better at English than I was at math.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I mean, I rely so much on my iPhone and my predictive text.
I reckon you're a top two speller in this team of four,
and I reckon Ella and I are bottom two spellers in this team.
Do you think Claudia and I are the best?
Yeah, I reckon.
Wow, thank you.
By far.
I don't know if I would agree.
I don't know if I'd put myself there, but thank you.
I appreciate that.
Well, we're going to find out, okay, with a little bit of a spelling bee.
Not just any spelling bee, though.
This is the word that Dev Shah, a 14-year-old from Florida,
won the 2023 Scripps National Spelling Bee with over the weekend.
I've seen these kids' spelling bees,
and the words they give them I've never even heard of.
I've never heard of this word either.
Oh, no.
How are we meant to spell a word we've never heard of?
This word won Dev Shah $50,000 over the weekend.
Okay, that's a lot of money.
You're each going to have one attempt at spelling it.
Okay.
And the winner gets 50 KFC chicken dollars. I'll take it. Even better. Okay. And the winner gets 50 KFC chicken dollars.
I'll take it. Even better.
Okay.
The word that you will be spelling this afternoon is semophile.
Huh?
Could I please have it in a sentence?
Semophile, meaning an organism that thrives in sandy soils.
This organism is a semophile.
Organism.
Semophile.
Can I spell organism?
No, you cannot spell organism.
Semophile.
I mean, it sounds like it would be easy to spell.
Well, why don't you go first then?
Semophile.
I mean, is there a silent PH?
That's a question.
You don't get to ask that at the start of the spelling bee.
Oh, but judging by Clint's cagey behaviour, maybe there is.
I'm going to need an answer, please.
PH.
Oh, my God.
PH.
What's the word again?
Did you say PH?
Yeah.
Oh.
I gave it a shot.
You guys are welcome.
We're going to go to top two speller on the Brian Clint Show.
Claudia next.
Oh, no.
Claudia, your word is semaphile.
P-S-A-M-O.
You got way further than me.
What did you say?
Don't worry about it.
You were doing so well.
Oh, no.
Ella, the hopes of the Brian Clint show rest on your shoulders.
Okay?
For 50 KFC chicken dollars, the word that won Dev Shah the 2023 Spelling Bee is semophile.
Go.
P-S-Y.
Wait, what?
Why don't you listen to what Claudia did?
Can you just say that again?
Hang on, I really want to try it.
Samo.
P-S-S-A-M-O Samo-phile.
P-S-A-M-I-O-F-I-L-E
P-S-A-M-M-O
Ammo.
P-H-I-L-E.
Oh, I would have just missed one M.
I reckon you were on track to get it, Claude.
You had just one M off.
I will give $50 to anyone in the team that can spell the word diarrhea.
Oh, Clint.
Diahoria.
D-I-O.
Ella. Diahoria. D-I-O. Ella?
D-H-I.
Okay, Claude?
D-I-H.
God, I'm so glad because I don't have $50 to spend right now.
Bree and Clint.
Another one of those big tech announcements.
The big companies do these a couple of times a year. been right now. Bree and Clint. Another one of those big tech announcements.
The big companies do these a couple of times a year.
And one of the products that Apple released today is getting a lot of attention. Yeah, the biggest product that's getting attention is the Apple Vision Pro.
Yeah.
Which if you haven't seen this all over your social media, It's essentially a pair of virtual reality goggles
that Apple is releasing.
We've got a bit of the promo here for the Vision Pros.
When you put on Apple Vision Pro,
you see your world and everything in it.
Your favorite apps live right in front of you.
But now they're in your space.
This is Vision OS, apps live right in front of you. But now, they're in your space. This
is VisionOS, Apple's
first ever spatial operating
system.
It's familiar, yet groundbreaking.
VR goggles
obviously already exist. Yes.
But the thing that's different about these is you can see
through them. So it's like
people can see your eyes
and you can see stuff outside of the goggles
but it puts all the apps and the video
and everything in front of you and you can
control it with your eyeballs. You can control
it also with your fingers. You can pinch
a screen over to
the front of your
eyeline and
push stuff away with your hands.
It's kind of like
you've watched a lot of
movies and you see like when like a spy will put on like sunglasses or you know like um iron man's
helmet and there's the stuff that you can still see everything but there's kind of screens you
know in minority report when tom cruise is pulling those screens up and he's moving all that data around on those screens.
Kind of like that.
It's that.
It's quite hard to explain how, like, I watched the video for it
and my mind was quite blown.
Like, it's one of those products where you go,
oh, my God, this is the future.
It looks like there's so much stuff that it can do.
But at the same time, they're really nerdy looking goggles.
They're not the best looking.
So there's no guarantee they're going to catch on?
In my opinion, because PlayStation have been doing virtual reality goggles for a while now.
They just released their second version, like I think last year, which I've used them.
Pretty amazing.
And they look cool too.
Whereas the Apple ones don't look cool too. Yeah.
Whereas the Apple ones don't look as cool.
Yeah.
But I...
I've never seen anybody in a VR headset and gone,
damn, that person looks cool, you know?
Yeah, can't say I have either.
Yeah.
But let's talk about price.
Mm-hmm.
The price of these goggles will set you back...
..New Zealand...
Yeah.
..$5,700.
Jeez.
Yeah.
They'd want to be doing a lot.
For the first ones too.
Yeah.
You know they're going to bring out better ones.
They're never the best.
You know they're going to bring out a better pair in one year's time.
I thought we could go around the room because they're called Apple Vision Pro.
Yeah.
But I thought, I reckon they can, like there's a better name for it than that.
Apple Vision Pro.
It sounds so clinical.
I reckon we can do better than that.
Yeah, yeah.
Come up with a new name for the virtual reality goggles.
What are you thinking?
Got any suggestions?
Well, I didn't come up with many
because it turns out it's quite hard.
I thought you could just call them AR.
AR.
Apple Reality. Oh, yeah, Apple Reality works. It's better than. I thought you could just call them AR. AR. Apple Reality.
Oh, yeah, Apple Reality works.
It's better than what I wrote.
What did you write?
The Apple porn and PlayStation goggles.
Catchy.
Well, that's what they're going to be used for.
Let's be honest.
That's true, yeah.
Claudia, what are you calling the fancy new Apple goggles?
I'm going old school Apple and I'm calling them the EyeSight.
Oh, Claudia.
That's good.
You're going to be getting a letter from Tim Cook going, hey.
Can we use that?
Can we use that?
How did they not think of EyeSight?
How did they not pick up on that?
That's so clever.
It's so clever.
I'd hate to be the person who had to follow that one up with my idea.
Ella?
EyeSee? Yeah. No, EyeSight. I think Eye to be the person who had to follow that one up with my idea. Ella? I see.
Yeah.
No, eyesight.
I think eyesight is much better.
I've got one more.
I don't know if I want to follow those, though.
But I think it could catch on.
Apple's oogly-googly.
You know what?
Nice.
Pretty good.
I like it.
Pretty good.
Not bad.
Could it be the eye-googly-oogly?
Absolutely. Perfect. We're found. Pretty good. I like it. Pretty good. Not bad. Could they be the iGoogly Ooglies? Absolutely.
Perfect.
We're found.
I was reading this article today which talks about the four questions,
awkward questions that you should be asking your teenager if you're a parent.
And why do they say you should be asking these questions?
They say because they're important and it's important to have a dialogue with that sort of stuff.
And it is awkward, but you should be the adult and you should take charge.
And they're tough conversations, but you need to ask these questions.
But they said be aware it will be awkward for everybody involved.
Fantastic.
Well, neither of us are teenagers, so we're past that stage.
So we can't ask our teenagers. We don't have any. We don't have any teenagers.
You had a great idea that we could flip this back, though, and
reverse the roles. Yeah, and instead of the parents asking the teenagers,
I will ask you, Mum, these awkward questions.
Hi, Mum and Di. Oh, no. Hi, how are you guys?
Can I just check with you before we do this?
Growing up, did you expect Brianna to be open and honest with you as a teenager?
Well, I hoped that was the case.
Yeah.
I expected that from all my children, actually.
Didn't always get it.
Yeah.
Not always. I did that from all my children, actually. Didn't always get it. Yeah. So can she expect the same from you with the roles being reversed this afternoon?
I don't know if you really want to hear the answers if it's a bad question.
Well, you don't know what the questions are yet.
You don't know what the questions are.
Yeah, look, I'm going to put my hand up and say I don't really want to hear the answers,
but we're going to do it anyway.
Look, I'm going to put my parent hat on,
and Mum, I think we should sit down and have an open
and honest conversation, okay?
Okay.
Now, I just want you to know, Mum, that this is a safe space,
and I just want to open the dialogue channels between you and I,
and you can answer as honestly as you feel the need, all right?
I'm really worried here.
It's just five questions.
It's just five questions.
That's it.
And let's go for it.
Let's rip the band-aid off.
Let's go for it.
Here we go, Mum.
First question, have you ever tried vaping?
No, I haven't.
Okay, that was an easy no.
Do we believe it?
I don't know.
I don't know if we do.
But we'll move on.
We'll take her at her word and we will move on.
A little bit of a harder question for you, Mum.
Have you ever been offered or tried drugs?
What do you mean by drugs?
You know.
You mean marijuana?
Yeah, that's a drug.
That's a drug?
Yep.
Yeah, well, I've been off at that.
Okay.
I have.
And have you tried it?
No.
Okay.
Don't believe me.
That was very hesitant.
It was going to be very boring, I can tell you that.
No, I think we're getting quite a lot out of this.
I think we're getting more than you realise.
This one kind of
is an easy one to ask because I already know the answer.
Are you seeing anyone at the moment,
Mum?
No. It depends
what you mean by seeing.
What happened to Big Steve? What about your husband of
30 plus years?
Well, that's a given, isn't it?
Right. Yeah. I guess she's not really it, isn't it? Right. Yeah.
I guess she's not really seeing him.
They're dating, aren't they?
You still dating?
30 years.
You're playing hooky, mum?
You're playing a bit of hooky with dad?
These are the awkward questions you should be asking your teenager if you've got one.
We're flipping them back and Bree's asking her mum.
There's just two more questions, mum. That's it.
You've done pretty well so far.
The next question, is anyone bullying you at the moment, mum?
No, no one's bullying me.
Because you let me know, mum, and I'll go round to their house
and I'll rough them up a bit, all right, mum?
You have done that before on the school bus, Brianna.
I'll sort them out.
You know when that boy called me fat?
Yes, and I was ropeable.
And what did I do?
I think I bullied him back, which isn't the right answer.
No, eye for an eye.
That's in the Bible.
Eye for an eye.
I've got to stand up for you.
I sat on him and you poked him in the eyes.
If I'm so fat, why don't I sit on you?
All right, Mum and Dad.
And that's it.
No more questions.
That's it.
No, there's one more.
No, really?
There's one more question.
There's one more question.
I don't want to ask that one.
Be brave.
I don't want to ask it.
These are questions that people are expected to ask their teenagers.
You can ask your mother, okay?
Oh, God.
Mum, can I just say I apologise for this
in advance? Oh, no.
Okay. Mum,
have you... Oh, no.
Mum, have you...
I've never had unprotected sex.
I didn't even ask you to reveal that one.
That is good to know, but that is not the question.
You're not getting away with it, Brie.
I need you to get in there.
Oh, she answered.
She answered.
Be a big brave girl.
Mum, have you ever watched porn?
Oh, Brianna, are you asking a teenager that?
No, I'm asking you.
She's asking you.
I'm asking you.
You can give a simple yes or no and we move right along.
Yes.
Oh, no.
No.
No.
Oh, no!
Hey, Mum and Di, what kind?
No, Clint!
No!
No!
I said no more questions after that.
Oh, no!
Thank you for your honesty, Mum and Di.
We love you lots.
Why do we do these things?
And I've never had an STI.
Just get ready for a really embarrassing thing
that happened to one of our producers over the weekend.
Yeah.
Like it's one of those stories that makes you go,
when Brie was told the story earlier,
Brie physically sort of curled up and went, oh, no.
Because I feel like I've been in this
position before. I don't know when, I don't
know how, but when you were telling the story
Ella, it took me back to a
place that wasn't good.
But I want to know,
so where were you?
Set the scene. Okay, fine.
I was at my
boyfriend's parents' place. Okay.
Yeah. So, sitting the scene.
And how many times have you met the in-laws before?
We've been dating for two years.
So, like, on pretty good terms.
You know them pretty well.
Friendly.
Yep.
And it was pitch black.
We were all outside kind of looking at the stars.
It was a little bit cloudy, but we're like, oh, yeah, cool.
That's nice.
And then we were outside in the first place because we're going out for dinner.
Yeah.
So, we walk up the stairs.
Ryan's in front of me.
It's pitch black, but I'm like, all good.
And guess what I do?
Slap him on the bum like I always do.
You always give your boyfriend a little slap on the bum?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Two hands.
A little tight little touch.
Give him a whack.
Like a little boom, hello.
Yeah, okay.
But the problem was the second I got contact with his buttocks, it felt like jean material.
And Ryan doesn't wear jeans.
Whatever.
Never.
He doesn't own a pair of jeans.
And so instantly, like right now my heart is just thumping.
Instantly, I knew something was off.
It's not his bum.
It wasn't his bum.
No.
Whose bum was it? Well, um,
it was his dad's.
Oh!
Oh!
Yes, you smack
your daddy's ass.
I slapped his bum.
Two hands, guys.
Was it just a...
Oh, two hands.
I would argue not as sexual as a one hand.
Just a slap or like a slap and grab?
I was about to grab, but the contact with the jeans and the fabric...
Oh, you pulled out just in time.
...froze.
Froze.
And do you know what I did?
All I did was just message Claudia.
That's all I did.
Producer Claudia.
I just had to tell her.
What?
Okay, okay, okay.
No, no, no, no.
What?
I need to know.
So this is very important now at this point.
So you've accidentally slapped your boyfriend's dad's bum thinking it was your boyfriend.
And I need to know what was said straight after.
Yeah, great question.
What was said by you, by the dad, by your boyfriend?
Who spoke first?
So he, the dad, spoke first.
What did he say?
He went, oh, oh.
And then I screamed.
And then he was like, well, I guess it's better this way than the other way.
Like him doing it to me.
And I was like.
Oh, I thought you were meaning the front.
And I was like, well, he's got a good point.
It is better on the front.
Both work.
It's less awkward than you slapping him on the front or him slapping you on the bum.
So bad.
He would have been like, what is she up to?
I know.
Did you say sorry?
Oh, did I?
Did you say?
Did you say sorry?
I thought it was.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I explained myself, but I also blacked out.
I don't know what I did.
Yeah.
I think I sat on the stairs for a second.
I stared at his wife and I said, so sorry.
My next question.
My next question.
Who's got a better bum?
Yeah, great question.
Your boyfriend or the dad?
Who's got a tighter tukus?
Is it your in-law dad or your boyfriend?
What's your boyfriend's dad's bum going to be like in 30 years' time?
You're taking ages to answer.
This is awful. Obviously, Raya, my boyfriend. Oh, well, that's not very nice to the dad. He's to be like in 30 years' time? You're taking ages to answer. This is awful.
Obviously, Raya, my boyfriend.
Oh, well, that's not very nice to the dad.
He's got a nice perky one, okay?
No, maybe he's self-conscious.
I don't care.
I'm not touching him.
How was it?
No, Brie, no.
That's very uncomfortable and very unfortunate, Ella.
Oh, no.
Thank you for being brave enough to share that with us this afternoon.
Thanks, guys.
The question we're going to pose to the nation this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM is,
like Ella, whose bum did you grab by mistake?
Maybe you were in a crowd.
You thought you spotted your partner's bum from across the room.
Turns out someone was there with an identical bum.
Twin bums.
You were going for twin bums.
It has happened.
Like the parent trap, but for bums.
Yeah.
Like have you ever, oh, hey, second phoner,
have you ever met your bum twin?
You thought you were going for a bum that you had permission to grab.
Turns out that wasn't the bum.
We'll accept people who went in for a cuddle from behind,
like a surprise wraparound cuddle.
We'll accept people who went for an in-the-dark pash
and they accidentally got the wrong person.
Oh, no.
Who did you think it was and who did you actually get?
0800-DARLS-IT-M where you can text your very embarrassing stories
to 9696 and we'll get them on the radio.
Do you reckon you could tell your boyfriend's bum
if we line them up here and you're blindfolded?
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
Clearly not.
We've asked you whose bum did you get by mistake.
Courtney has called through.
Hi, Courtney.
Hi, Courtney.
Hello, how's it going?
Good, this happened to your cousin in the supermarket.
Yeah, not quite a bum grab, but she used to work in the supermarket
and she saw a girl in one of the aisles doing her groceries
who she thought was me and we're pretty close.
Yeah.
So she ran up behind the girl and gave her a big hug from behind
and surprise, surprise, it wasn't me and it was a very mortified customer.
Can you imagine the customer?
She would have crapped her pants.
She would have been like,
I'm getting mugged in the supermarket.
Yeah, you would.
Yeah, by one of the workers.
Yeah, and then you realise one of the workers
and you go, none of this makes sense.
Oh, that's so awkward.
This is such a great text.
My kids went up to a male in the changing rooms
after swimming and with two hands
slapped that stranger right on the ass.
The guy goes, wrong dad, mate.
And my kids died of embarrassment.
As you would.
Someone else said...
A proper beer bum slap on a stranger as well.
I mean, that's straight hand to bum.
Someone else said, my mum's cousin gave my dad's ass
a good grope one Christmas, thinking it was her husband.
It was pretty funny and is now a running joke in the family.
Everyone sees him and says, how's your other boyfriend?
Love it.
Let's talk to Fergal.
G'day, Fergal.
G'day, Fergal.
Hello.
Tell us, Fergal, who was it?
I ended up slapping my partner's twin sister's bum.
Oh, this is risky territory, Fergal.
Oh, Fergal.
Yeah.
That could be taken very badly.
I was going to the bathroom when we were brushing our teeth,
getting ready for bed,
thinking it was my partner in there at the time.
Ended up slapping her ass and realising I saw it was got the wrong one
and saw her sister's face turn to me.
And I suddenly realised.
And I quickly ran away and saw my partner.
And the sister and her cracked up laughing.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, thank God.
That story's gone round everywhere now.
Yeah, it would.
Are they identical?
Yes, they are identical.
Ask it, ask it.
I mean, because we were talking about it before.
Are their bums identical?
I don't really remember, to be honest.
Just say no comment, Fergal.
Best way, yeah.
Yeah, you're actually leading Fergal into a trap there with that one. I apologise, Fergal. That's a no-win situation, Fergal. Best way, yeah. Yeah, you're actually leading Fergal into a trap.
Just say I was, yeah.
I apologise, Fergal.
It's a no-win situation for Fergal.
All right, thanks, Fergal.
Keep your bum slapping to...
A minimum.
A minimum, yeah, yeah.
That's the best advice we can give.
Yeah, thanks, Fergal.
Sweet as.
I mean, in fairness to Fergal,
that was, you know, the easiest mistake to make
because they would be bum twins.
Identical twins.
Yeah, bum twins.
Yeah.
And especially if they wore the same pyjamas.
How are you supposed to know?
Hard to tell.
It's bedtime.
Bree and Clint.
Cool.
Yeah.
Nice.
I'm back in.
Nice.
She's back in there.
It's our classical music guessing game.
Don't change the station, okay?
We're not playing like Mozart's Fifth Symphony or something like that.
They're pop songs that have been performed in a classical style.
And the challenge is, can you guess what the song is?
Because they sound quite different.
We're very good at the game, so, you know, it's hard to beat us.
It's very hard to beat us. We're very good. Claudia, would you say very, very good at the game so you know it's hard to beat us it's very hard to beat us
we're very good claudia would say very very good i'd say a mediocre at best claude would you say
clint and i have a very classical ear yeah i would say you do your best would you call us
musical savants i would call you musical attempters okay prodigies yeah sure yeah i agree
brie yeah uh claudia what are we dealing with today so i've got three songs loaded up for you Okay. Prodigies. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. I agree, Bree. Yeah.
Claudia, what are we dealing with today?
So I've got three songs loaded up for you.
There's really no rhyme or reason to the ones I've chosen.
I just kind of picked ones that I liked.
Okay.
Yeah.
Alrighty.
So just buzz in with your name if you can tell me what it is.
And then when we're ready, we can go. Oh!
Clint, Clint, Clint, Clint.
Nickelback.
Yes. Photback. Yeah.
Photograph.
Yes.
Yes!
Never thought I'd say this about Nickelback.
I prefer the original.
You shush.
Nickelback are amazing.
It's pretty cliche to make fun of Nickelback, eh?
I love Nickelback.
And this is a banger.
Well done, Clint.
You'll be gutted you didn't get that one.
I am gutted.
President of the Nickelback fan club?
I am.
I'm a, what would you call a Nickelback?
Nickelbacker.
Nickelbacker?
Yeah. Nickelbacker. Nickelbacker? Yeah.
Nickelbacker.
You can pull it back with this next one.
Okay.
Yeah, you can still pull it back.
One point for Clint, but here's another one for you guys. Bree, the Jurassic Park theme.
No.
No.
It's One Direction.
That's What Makes You Beautiful.
Otherwise known as the theme to Jurassic Park.
Yeah.
They go hand in hand.
They really sucked the fun out of the song with the classical version,
didn't they?
Listen to this.
I quite like this.
Drinking the chicks on Bridgerton
when they hear this,
like the girls from the era,
like, oh my God!
Like, turn it up, this slaps.
Okay, one apiece.
Yeah, we're all tied up.
This one, I feel like I'm just going to
get you to give me the name of the song
because the name of the band's too hard.
Bonus points if you can get it.
Okay.
I'm not asking for much.
All right.
Okay, good luck.
Oh.
Oh. Oh.
Oh.
It's right there.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
Can you play it from the start again?
Yeah.
Are people on the text machine getting it?
Someone's very close, but it's the other song.
Da-da-da-da-da.
Oh!
Brie. I don't know who
the band is, but that's
Stacey's
Mum has got it going
on. Fountains of Wayne?
Yes.
Stacey's Mum has got it going on.
She's all I want.
And I've waited for so long
Stacey, can't you see
You're just not the girl for me
Nice, that was a random collection of songs.
Nickelback, One Direction and Fountains of Wayne.
That's me.
Running out of songs, they called.
Nah, nah, nah.
Not at all.
Bree and Clint.
I don't mean to alarm anybody, but tomorrow on TVNZ+, this show is back.
You're right.
Get on the grind.
Love Island UK returns to TVNZ+.
It's free this year.
You get to watch it for free again.
Yes. And I am currently doing everything
possible to convince my wife
that we're not going to watch it this year.
It does take up a lot of time. It's six nights
a week. Yeah.
And episodes go for an hour.
Oh my god, and nothing happens.
To be honest,
I think last season
was a bit of a flop
for Love Island, and I'll tell you why.
I feel like it was super scripted.
This is exactly what
Lucy said. And maybe the
other seasons have been super scripted
but it was just done better. I feel
like last season you could really tell.
Yeah, we tuned out
about two thirds of the way through and just watched the final
and I think a lot of people did. And yeah,
you're right. You can see thethirds of the way through and just watch the final. And I think a lot of people did. And, yeah, you're right.
You can see the format of the show now.
You can see the structure.
They're like, we put these people in, and then when this has happened,
we put in someone like this, and then we send them off to Casa Amor,
and then we do the movie night.
But then in the lead-up to Casa Amor,
we make sure that all the relationships look like they're going really well,
so you're invested in all the relationships.
And then they go into Casa Amorore and then the ones that you think
aren't going to cheat normally
do because that's going to cause
the biggest uproar on the show. So maybe
I'm just jaded because that last season
was a fizzer. Maybe I'm just
maybe I'm being cynical and
maybe it is good but I just
I just I'm just
not ready to commit six nights
a week to that TV show again.
I also want to watch just normal everyday people.
Not people that all look like they should be on the cover of Vogue.
I want to see someone that looks like me on there or like you.
Like normal people.
Okay, thanks.
I think.
We're just not super ripped and tanned.
I'm definitely not tanned. Wait, thanks, I think. We're just not super ripped and tanned. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm definitely not tanned.
Wait, but you're ripped?
No, not ripped either, to be honest.
No one would watch that show.
No one would watch it.
I would.
No, you wouldn't.
It's called Big Brother and people watch it all the time. No, you wouldn't watch it.
Yes, they do.
People think they would watch it.
You wouldn't watch it.
Big Brother, one of the most popular reality shows ever.
I think you want to watch hot, dumb people do hot, dumb things.
I think that's what those shows are about.
I want to watch smart people making good choices about relationships.
Anyway, I've tried to, like, I'm trying to make my wife, Lucy,
think that not watching Love Island is, like, it's her idea.
How are you going to do that, though?
This is quite a tricky thing to convince someone.
I know, I know.
So I'm looking for some tips on how to. What's your plan?
I just keep going. I keep saying
things just suddenly like, oh
surely
you're too smart.
Oh my god, you don't have a plan at all. I don't have a plan at all.
You don't have a plan at all. I'm like,
we should double down on MasterChef.
All you have to do is tell a little white lie
and say, oh, we've got an inside tip today at work.
Apparently this season of Love Island is completely scripted
and it's just going to be terrible.
Yeah, yeah.
And all the people are normal-looking people.
No, we want normal-looking people.
I'm telling you right now, you think you want normal-looking people.
You don't.
You want hot, dumb people doing hot, dumb things.
Like, I just.
Okay.
What other things are you going to say?
I don't have any, I don't have any ideas.
Oh, you know what you need to do?
Yeah.
This is the best idea.
Yeah.
You just need to find a show.
Yes.
That's super amazing.
Like that Lucy will become obsessed with
and you feed that to her
and make her believe that
you only got time for one
so which one are you going to pick
but what show is that going to be? Do you have any
suggestions on what show that could be? I don't
Because Masterchef's already taking up like
four nights a week. Yep, Masterchef
producers, any shows that
you think would fit that bill?
Yeah, Ella's got one for us.
So there's this really cool series, 10 Seasons it's got.
Oh, see, that's good.
Yep.
Heaps.
Friends.
Binge it.
You know that came out a little while ago,
and Lucy, who's a millennial, probably has seen it.
But again, Friends, hot dumb people doing hot dumb things.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Here we go, birthday banger time.
We do this at the same time every day on our show
and you call us up and we'll tell you what was the number one song
when you turned 16.
Jono's here.
G'day, Jono. G'day, Jono.
G'day, Jono.
Hey, how's it going?
How's Robbo?
Yeah, good.
And Davo?
Yeah, good.
Yeah, what about Stano?
Oh, not bad.
Oh, yeah, good.
Over easy.
Yeah, good to hear.
Good to hear, Jono.
Good to hear.
Hey, Jono, good to have you on.
What's your birthday, mate?
My birthday's the 12th of April.
And the year?
1990.
We love it, John.
You were 16 in the year 2006.
And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Pussy cat dolls.
Not bad.
Are you into it, John?
Were you a PCD man? I'm going to say no. Unfortunately bad. Not bad. Are you into it, Jono? Were you a PCD man?
I'm going to say no, unfortunately, I wasn't.
Yeah, you're more a BDE man, Jono, if I know you.
Oh, I'm going to say you.
Yeah, Jono.
Well, hey there, Jono.
We're going to do one for Michael.
Kia ora, Michael.
G'day, Michael.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, Michael.
How was your long weekend, mate?
Oh, it was pretty chill, actually.
Didn't actually do too much.
Yeah, love that.
Love like a chill long weekend.
Three-day laser round.
I'm here for it.
It's either all or nothing, I reckon.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Hey, Michael, what's your birthday, mate?
24th of August, 1998.
All right.
That means you were 16 in 2014.
And back in 2014, this went to number one.
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Oh, banger.
Banger.
Yeah.
One-hit wonder?
Yeah, big one-hit wonder, yeah.
I like it though, Michael.
Marry you anyway.
Yeah, Magic Rude from 2014.
I remember interviewing them in 2014.
Oh, did they pull a rabbit out of a hat?
No.
Oh.
No, but close.
They were quite rude.
What?
Yeah.
Well, there's going to be one or the other.
Yeah, they were either going to be Magic or they were going to be rude.
Yeah.
Just checking, Michael, you're into that for your birthday banger?
Oh, yeah, that's a banger. That's a banger. Okay, cool. I think so too, Michael. I like it. One more for Laura. Kia checking, Michael, you're into that for your birthday banger? Oh, it is.
It's a banger.
It's a banger.
Okay, cool.
I think so too, Michael.
I like it.
One more for Laura.
Kia ora, Laura.
G'day, Laura.
Hello.
I just have a feeling, Laura, you're going to come in and yours is going to just like
outdo them all.
What do you think?
Oh, it's definitely, it's an oldie, so I feel like I'm representing the mum demographic.
We love it, Laura.
Let's see what the mums are bopping to.
What's your birthday?
I was born 7th of May, 85.
Laura, you're not old at all.
Jeez.
All right, you were 16 in 2001.
And back on your 16th birthday, this would have been number one.
It's raining men.
Hallelujah.
It's raining men.
Oh, it's gay Jesus, Jerry Halliwell.
And you know you're not all old, Laura,
because that's the Jerry Halliwell version,
not the original.
Yeah, at least it's a remake.
Yeah, Laura.
Come on.
It's the really recent 2001 version of that song.
Like, Laura, Geri Halliwell had already been through her Spice Girls phase
and she was into her solo career.
Geri Halliwell 2.0.
Yeah.
Hang on, watch this, Laura.
I'm going to attempt to read Bree's mind because this is a consensus.
We have to agree on these things.
I'm going to look deep in her eyes.
I'm just going to go.
Are we playing it?
Laura!
I'm so excited.
I did not think you would be with me.
Congratulations, Laura.
You're the winner of Birthday Banger today.
Send it, Laura.
Do it for the mums.
Ross said he's fine with anything after the year 2000, so.
So we're in the clear.
ZM Brian Clint.
ZM Brian Clint, that's Medusa and bad memories.
I heard this story from a friend the other day.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm good.
Just getting back into the swing after a long weekend.
You know, I think ease into it.
That's my motto.
I thought you glitched for a second.
That's my motto.
Shit, Bree's buffering.
A friend of mine was telling me this story about her sister-in-law.
Yeah.
So that doesn't matter.
That's not a part of the story.
But so the sister-in-law and her husband, right?
Yeah.
They're married.
They own a house together.
They have a dog.
Okay.
Recently, they were going on a trip overseas for three weeks.
Yes.
And they were like, okay, we can either put the dog in the kennel
or we can find a friend to come and house sit.
No one could look after the dog and look after the house for three weeks.
So they went onto this website where people sign up for it
and you can get a house sitter.
I've looked at these websites before.
I tried to do some house sitting through one of those websites
when we were renovating once.
Yeah.
It's really hard to get on.
Yeah.
It's really hard to become a house sitter.
Is that because you didn't pass the background check?
A little bit, yeah.
Yeah, I thought so.
Anyway, so they went onto this website, found this person,
everything was great, booked it in for three weeks
and they had peace of mind that the dog was getting looked after
and the house was also being looked after.
Yeah, yeah.
Someone there.
It's like there's no money exchange usually, eh?
Like you give them free accommodation.
I'm not sure. And they look after your stuff you give them free accommodation. I'm not sure.
And they look after your stuff.
Is that the arrangement?
I'm not sure.
There might be different deals.
Like I think maybe if there's a dog involved because they have to do more.
Who knows?
I'm not too sure.
But anyway, fast forward a couple of months and my friend told me that apparently they
received the electricity bill.
Yeah.
And it's three times the amount that it normally is.
Yeah.
So this person, obviously, you know, when you're at home,
like in my household, we're pretty conservative.
Like we turn the lights off.
We don't run the heat pump all the time.
We don't use the dryer.
We really don't use the dryer unless we have to.
Like just stuff like that because you're –
Because you know it's your tab.
Because it's your tab.
You're running up the tab.
Anyway, obviously –
So you know what things in your house use a lot of power.
Exactly right.
Yeah.
Which I mean if you use your brain,
you should know that the dryer, one of the worst,
and the heat pump also one of the worst.
Yeah, okay.
Definitely.
Heat pump's all right.
Nah. The heat pump, if you're running the heat pump – No, I. Definitely. Heat pump's all right. Nah.
The heat pump.
If you're running the heat pump.
No, I don't know.
I won't.
No, actually, I wasn't going to say anything.
I won't stand for this.
Don't put people off using the heat pump
because there'll be the people in flat situations
listening right now.
Nah, put a jumper on.
No, so you're there, flat mate.
Put a jumper on.
Put a jumper on.
Three out of four flat mates are like,
please can we use the heat pump?
It's July.
Look, I'm not bloody Scrooge.
I put the heat pump on when
it needs to be put on, but I also
then close the doors of the lounge room
so then it doesn't go through all the house.
You know? Like I use
my brain. Obviously
this house sitter has just lived
it up for three weeks. Just, you know,
probably left the fridge open for ten minutes
just deciding what to
eat, had the heat pump going.
Left the doors open with the heat pump on.
Left the doors open, all the lights on.
God, they probably even heated the bedrooms, God forbid.
They probably had the underfloor heating on if they had it.
Remember that old flatmate of mine that would run the underfloor heating
throughout the whole day?
Under the tiles.
And no one was home?
Yeah.
And her argument was, yeah, but when I get home,
like when I turn it on, it takes a little while to heat up.
I'm like, so who's using it all day?
Heaven forbid your toes be cold for a second.
I know, I know.
It's interesting because they said to my friend,
they were like, oh, do we make a complaint?
And I said, well, you can't really.
Nothing's going to happen. No. You can you can't really. Nothing's going to happen.
No.
You can make the complaint, but nothing's going to happen.
You can say something.
Unless you said to them before they did some house sitting,
please don't use the heat pump or please don't use the dryer.
But you can't say that to someone that's house sitting, can you?
No, you can't.
No.
No, it's just a part of the, you know, part of the deal.
And so we're looking after the house and the dog.
I thought we could ask people this afternoon.
They still came out on top too, by the way. They had someone look after their house while the dog. I thought we could ask people this afternoon. They still came out on top too, by the way.
They had someone look after their house while they were in Europe and their dog,
which would have been way cheaper than a kennel for three weeks.
They're still winning.
Yeah.
They're still winning.
Well, I don't know if they paid them.
You might.
I'm not too sure.
Who knows?
I don't know the details.
All I know is that apparently when they got this bill, they were like, oh, my God.
Like, what have they been doing in here?
Jeez, have they been running an illegal operation in our house?
Maybe they're growing weed.
Could have been.
In a hydroponic sitter.
That does cost you, I've heard.
I want to know from people, 0800 dials at M,
or you can text us on 9696.
When did you receive a bill and it was quite a shock to the system?
Yeah.
Like you were like, whoa.
Could have been anything.
A lot of the times this happens when people will take their car in to get fixed.
Oh, that's the worst one, eh?
And they're like, oh, you need a new defibrillator.
I don't know what the car stuff is.
Obviously, you're not a mechanic.
All right, we'll pop the defibrillator in.
You've blown a gasket.
Yeah, you need five new gaskets.
Let's try and do car references.
Ready?
Oh, you needed six new spark plugs.
Your turn.
Six new spark plugs.
But I just paid for a new sonic applicator.
Oh, well, we also had to re-gas your air conditioning.
Yeah.
But does that affect my epilator?
It does because the air in the epilator connects directly to your fuel line.
Yeah.
Yeah, so the oil was just dripping out, so we needed to re-change that too.
Right.
Well, you might as well replace my tampon applicator too.
Yeah, well, let's see if I can get around to it.
Okay, thanks.
I hope it doesn't cost
too much. 0800DARLSATM
text 9696. We want to know the shocking
bill that you received.
We want to know when you got
some bill shock. You know
the feeling when you weren't expecting
the bill to be so much and
you're like, oh no. Maybe you didn't
know enough about what you were buying.
I remember before the iPhone came out, I agreed to get, it was called a Palm Pilot.
Cool.
I was like, oh, yeah, I do email.
Did that have like a little, what's the name, pen?
A stylus.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
And my first bill for that month for using the internet on this phone that wasn't even
like a proper smartphone, $480.
For what?
For jackal.
Oh, I know what you were doing.
No, I couldn't even do that.
No, I couldn't.
I'm telling you, if it could, mate, if it could,
I would have paid.
No, I'm joking.
So we want to know about your bill shock.
Let's talk to Brendan.
Hi, Brendan.
Hi, Brendan. Hey, how's it going? Good, thank you. Brendan, when did you your bill shock. Let's talk to Brendan. Hi, Brendan. Hi, Brendan.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thank you.
Brendan, when did you get bill shock, mate?
It was a few years back now,
but it was after working the first year of a new job,
and I didn't realise that I was put on the wrong tax bracket.
Oh, okay.
Right.
So you were paying too little tax?
Yeah, I wasn't paying enough.
So I got a nice letter from IRD saying that I owed just over $600.
Oh, okay.
So that was fun.
Yeah.
It's not the best, hey, Brendan, when you're like not planning on something
and then you're like, hmm.
I was expecting you to say, I mean, that's bad, Brendan.
I was expecting you to say $9,000.
I think you might have got off lucky. You got off pretty well. Not too bad. Yeah, I paid the $600 over the $9,000. Yeah's bad, Brendan. I was expecting you to say $9,000. I think you might have got off lucky.
You got off pretty well.
Not too bad.
Yeah, I'll pay the $600 over the $9,000.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally, totally.
But don't let them know you can pay it.
Say, oh, I'll have to do that in installments, $5 a week for the next eight years.
I think minimum's $20.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pay the minimum.
Do that, Brendan.
Do that.
Okay, thanks, Brendan.
Thanks, Brendan.
Someone texted her and said,
My cousin got bill shock in Hawaii,
went for a mini-petty and it cost $400 USD.
Oh, they saw you coming.
You got the tourist rate.
What did they say?
It was a wax treatment and she had no idea until it was all done.
Oh, my God, I'd feel sick.
That'd be like nearly 800 bucks New Zealand.
Yeah.
My mum got a power bill from her power company for $32,000.
What?
They had no answer as to why.
They wiped the bill entirely and she got free power for the next month.
Wow.
Good deal.
I'd argue you deserve a bit more.
Free power for a month's not bad.
It's not bad, but.
I mean, do you mean like the initial panic? Say that it caused
you some horrific kind of... I think they're on the phone. Oh, it's your mum, Pia.
That was your mum. That was my mum.
Pia, did they explain how it happened or was it just a mistake?
No, they literally just said, oh, we don't know what happened
and then just said, oh, we'll wipe it.
And mum's like, well, I hope so.
Yeah.
And then she asked them how much is their bill going to be?
And they said, oh, don't worry about it.
Really?
I gave her hate about I thought she was growing or doing something illegal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, Pia, did you ever find out?
Still 32 grand.
No.
That's too soon.
Pia's like, I never truly found out what my mum was up to.
Sharing's caring, mum.
Someone texted her and they said, I got a GoVire,
and it says in brackets, Bree will know.
So the GoVire is the Australian toll account.
Like a toll road?
Yeah. So it's called the GoVire and you have your little. Like a toll road? Yeah.
So it's called the GoVire and you have your little tag
like you do here in New Zealand.
I got a GoVire bill for $3,000 after all the late fees were added.
Never got emails or anything and my tag was still beeping properly.
After I negotiated a reduced payment,
a civil suit found that they were charging people incorrectly
and heaps of people got refunds,
but I had moved back to New Zealand by then.
Took the hit.
You're joking.
My sister and I threw a party when mum went away for the weekend.
It got out of control.
Heaps of people showed up.
Broken window.
Things blocking the bathroom drain.
And then two weeks later, we got a $900 phone bill.
Someone at the party had called an 0900 number from our landline.
Mum said she was not angry, just very, very disappointed.
I reckon Mum was pretty angry.
Wait, so what's like an example of an 0900 number?
You might call a psychic.
Someone at the party just called the local psychic?
Or you might call like a dirty hotline.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I don't even know if they still exist, 0900 numbers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what they were for.
Oh, my God.
You'd be so angry.
You'd be like, who is sitting in the corner at the party calling 0900 numbers?
Look, amongst all of, you know, the mindless dribble that is on TikTok,
because there is a lot.
You have to scroll through a lot of videos to come across one that you like,
in my opinion.
Yeah, especially if it's a relatively new account.
There's some weird stuff on there.
And occasionally something comes up on my TikTok that's either super funny
or I think quite insightful. Okay.
I came across this TikTok this morning and was like
that's so interesting. That's a really
good point. I've never thought about that. Okay. And funnily enough
it has nothing to do with me because it's about marriage.
But I think you can take this relationship advice.
Are they doing marriage advice on TikTok now?
Yeah.
Why are they targeting you with marriage advice?
I don't know.
My TikTok feed is very tailored to me, like everybody's is.
So when something comes up that you've got to wonder,
you're like, oh, is someone looking to, you know?
Well, I don't think it's, it's not just for marriage.
I think this applies, it can apply to any relationship.
You don't need to be married for this to apply to you.
So this woman, she, I looked her up because I didn't know who she was.
Her name's Brené, I think, yeah, Brené Brown.
She's an American professor and it says here on Google,
she's a researcher and storyteller who has spent two decades
studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy.
Okay.
Now, hear me out.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
So she's talking to this other gentleman
and they're discussing marriage and she says
that she believes no marriage is 50 50. There is no such thing as a 50 50 marriage,
but listen to her thoughts and feelings, um, around marriages.
Someone says marriage should be 50 50. It's the biggest crock of bullshit I've ever heard.
It's never 50-50.
What we do is we quantify where we are.
So if Steve comes home and he'll be like,
I got 20.
Just in terms of energy.
Just energy, investment, kindness, patience.
And I'll be like, I'll cover you.
I'll pull the 80.
Sometimes we come home, which we have done a lot,
and I'll say,
I've got 10. And Steve said, I'm riding a solid 25. So we know that we have to sit down at the
table anytime we have less than 100 combined and figure out a plan of kindness toward each other.
Oh, I love that.
A partnership works when you can carry their 20 or they can carry your 20. And that when
you both just have 20, you have a plan where you
don't hurt each other it's so freaking true it's so true a relationship is ups and downs right i
know this is not normally the content we do but i just think it's such a great thing to think about
in a relationship and i truly believe this like in a relationship you're never gonna be you're
never at 100 all the time.
No.
Like you'll have good days and bad days.
Same with your partner, good days and bad days.
But I think a true relationship and when it works is when you're down,
they are able to pull the extra weight.
Yeah, yeah, they spot you.
You know?
Yeah.
And you need to be able to do the same for them.
And to expect, sorry to get really deep,
but to expect it to be 50-50 means that someone
in the relationship has to be keeping a tab.
Like you have to be going, oh, actually I've already put in my 50%.
Exactly.
You actually owe me this energy, this money, this time, this whatever, this service.
Yes.
Because actually I've done my bit and that's just not how a relationship works.
It's not how it works.
And sometimes there will be times where someone is at a 10 for weeks.
I agree.
And you need to be able to.
Weeks, months, years.
Months, years.
And it's just how it is.
I really loved that theory.
And I think it's also just interesting putting it like that,
just being like to your partner, where are you at?
I'm at a 25.
I'm not having that conversation though.
What?
Where she's like, you walk in and you sit down at the dinner table
to negotiate what percentage you're going to get.
Absolutely not.
I'm all for carrying your partner and relying on them when you need to.
I'm not sitting down and having a discussion about it.
I don't mind it.
I don't mind it.
I think it puts everything out on the table.
And then sometimes, you know, on a Friday night I'll come home
and my partner will say to me,
where are you at?
And I'll go, I'm at a Hundy P, baby.
That is the end of the show.
Done for a Tuesday.
Short week, how good?
Short week, how good?
Oh, my God, we need to talk about the Ted Lasso finale.
Are we all up to date?
I'm up to date, yeah.
You watched it?
Yeah.
I'm up to date, but Ella's not up to date.
No spoilers.
Lots of people won't quite be up to date.
That's the last season ever?
Yeah, that was the final, final, yeah.
I didn't realise that, and as soon as it finished, I was like,
oh, surely there's going to be more.
No.
No, that's it.
Devo.
That's the last you'll see of Ted and Jamie. Oh, surely there's going to be more. No. No, that's it. Devo.
That's the last you'll see of Ted and Jamie.
Why would they wrap it up so early?
Jason Sudeikis, I read an interview about it. Jason Sudeikis said it was always meant to be a three-series show.
And that was the story that he wanted to bring to a close,
and that was it.
That was how Ted's arc went.
Money, money, money, money.
Oh, yeah, it's got to be one of the biggest shows in the world right now.
Money.
But they could do a spin-off.
Yeah.
They could do a Jamie spin-off.
That's what Jason Sudeikis has said in an interview.
He's not against reprising the character for something in the future.
Like a Gatorade commercial in the Super Bowl.
Oh, that'll definitely happen.
Yeah.
Here's my tip, though.
I watched that new show that came out on Neon, I believe yesterday, called The Idol.
Yeah.
Very saucy, seductive.
It's got Johnny Depp's daughter as the main character.
Yeah, and The Weeknd's in it.
And The Weeknd's in it.
It's got quite a big cast, to be honest.
Yeah.
What's that guy, Hilarious?
He's in Schitt's Creek.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's in it.
Eugene Levy's son.
Yes.
He's so amazing.
I love him.
He's in it.
Troy Sivan is in it.
Yeah.
Yeah, big cast, very seductive, very saucy.
Don't watch it with kids.
That's all I'll say.
But, I mean, not a bad first episode.
You give it a go.
That's the Idol on Neon, and that's our best tip for you.
My advice is start a show today because Love Island starts tomorrow.
This is your last chance to start something for the next three months, I reckon.
Yeah, because it takes up so much time.
Bray and Clint, we'll see you guys tomorrow.
Bye. Bye, because it takes up so much time. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye!
