It's almost the end of the year and we are doing the bare minimum to get through
Not because we're lazy, because that's all we can manage, we're just trying to survive
That was lovely
Thanks
It's that time, I feel like everybody everywhere is in that mode.
It's just that crawl to the finish line.
And I'm not saying we have a hard job.
I'm not saying that.
But Bree, do you care to guess without calculating it?
How many radio shows, how many four-hour radio shows do you think we create?
How many podcasts do you think Claude makes each year?
Oh, crikey. Hold create? How many podcasts do you think Claude makes each year? Oh crikey
Hold on, how many weeks? 52
weeks
I can't
I can math it. No you can't, I just want you to do it off the top of your head
I can math it in my mind. I want you to guess
We're not on air for 52 weeks
Five times. But I love
summer podcasts. We're probably on air
for 47 weeks.
Maybe.
47 times five.
A thousand.
Fuck, this is not going to be easy.
I know the answer.
Hold on.
Forty-
A hundred.
Like 283.
Two hundred and thirty radio shows a week.
A year.
That was a bit off.
Wow.
Epic.
It was more impressive before you did all that.
Okay. I base that off 46 weeks a year.
I reckon we show up for about 46.
I upload.
I'm going to do summer ones every day, Monday to Friday.
So that's five extra a week.
So you're going to go year round.
260.
Five times 52 equals?
260.
260.
Big brain.
Did you not calculate that? That's hands free. Did you not calculate that?
That's hands-free.
Are you good at that?
Sometimes.
I do other things hands-free.
Do tell.
I talk on the phone in the car with hands-free.
What were you guys thinking?
Cunning linguistics.
Cunning linguistics.
That's right, Claude.
How would I get my head down there?
Huh?
You got that lowest centre of gravity
What are you talking about now? I'm lost
Dental dams, let's talk about dental dams
Oh the beavers?
No that's not it
They make dams
Dental dams yeah
There is beavers involved yeah
What are they?
That's a private conversation for you and Aunty Bree, okay?
Have you guys watched Wednesday yet?
No, it's nothing to be embarrassed about.
No, but it's not.
You don't need to.
You don't need to.
I'm changing the subject.
It's not the arc of the podcast.
No, it is nothing to be embarrassed about.
It's not what we're here to talk about.
A dental dam is another form of contraception.
That's all you need to know.
Oh, why are you being weird, Clint?
Yeah, why are you being weird about it?
That's normal. It's literally just a form of contraception.
Because once we go down there, it's very hard to bring the conversation back up.
What are you talking about?
It's very hard to bring it back up.
Claudia, you wanted a swift subject change?
Have you guys seen Wednesday yet?
No, should I?
Haven't seen it, but it's on my list.
It's the Addams Family
spin-off, right?
About Wednesday Addams. It's really good Family spin-off, right? Adams Family. About Wednesday Adams.
It's really good. It started
off, I watched it and I was like, this feels like it's for
young adults. That's what I thought. It was a bit
Sabrina the Teenage Witch-y. It started, episode
one is a tiny bit like that, but it
picks up. No, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the reboot
was not for kids. Was it not?
Well, I didn't watch it because I thought that was.
That shit was so heavy and scary.
Right. It was a totally different vibe from the one we watched in the 90s. Oh, was there the cat in it? Well, I didn't watch it because I thought that was. That shit was so heavy and scary. Right.
It was a totally different vibe from the one we watched in the 90s.
Oh, was there the cat in it?
Salem.
Yeah.
I, to be honest, watched the first episode and it scared me quite a lot.
Oh.
Are they still making Fuller House?
No.
Oh, no, because Bob Seger died.
Yeah, that's sad.
Good one, Clint.
Way to bring down the mood.
So many real famous people died this year. Yeah, it was a. Good one, Clint. Way to bring down the mood. So many real famous people died this year.

That kind of sounds like him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You actually nailed him.
I didn't realise he passed away.

Oh guys, I have a quick story
It takes two seconds
Okay, is it positive or does someone die in it?
No, it's funny
Because we need some
It's funny
Okay, go on then
So outside of work
You can see right over there
There's stairs coming up to work
Outside
Did you fall?
Yeah, I walked out by myself, fell on my face.
Upwards. Did you
hurt yourself? Well, a little bit.
I just got a little bony bit
now. You know what I always have
this fear of? It's so
embarrassing.
No, she said it was funny. It was funny!
She said it was funny. You know what?
It's not funny when you fall over and you're by
yourself. No, it's not. If you fall over and you're with friends.
Oh, no, I'm the other way around.
It was awkward and embarrassing.
Yeah, I'd rather fall over alone.
Because I don't want strangers around.
I'm really bad at being laughed at.
I take it very personally.
They wouldn't laugh.
They would.
I would laugh.
I take it very personally.
So you wouldn't feel embarrassed.
I would be like crying.
I've laughed at you a million times.
I know, and I'm very upset.
Remember I fell over years when I tripped over at the rugby last year
at the Norval X game and I broke both of my arms.
I fractured my elbows.
And my friends weren't around and a stranger came over to help me
because I couldn't lift myself off the ground.
And we talked about it on the radio the next day and this lady called
and she said, I helped you.
No way.
I didn't know who you were. And now listening to the on the radio the next day, and this lady called, and she said, I helped you. No way. I didn't know who you were.
And now listening to the radio, hearing the story, I realized the person that I helped was you.
You're the dickhead who tripped over the chain of the elbow.
That's an epic injury, though.
Good job.
I hit the chain.
I tripped, hit the ground, fractured both elbows.
Ow.
That makes it funny.
Let's go everybody
Bye
Have a good podcast

Damn, we're so trendy.
Howdy Pilgrim.
Oh my God, what are the odds of that?
What time is it?
Two, three, two, one.
It is Bree and Clint. G'day everyone, welcome to the show. It's Bree and Clint.
Did you just hear in the news that couple that won five and a half million dollars?
Yeah.
I know the woman.
Do you?
Yeah. Katie Drage has won the power of the law.
Not four years in a row. No, not four years in a row.
No, leave that poor woman alone.
You believed it for a second though, didn't you?
Just for a second.
Now, congratulations to that couple.
I would be celebrating with more than a couple of glasses of wine, would you?
A couple of bottles.
Yeah.
A couple of bottles in bloody...
On a private jet.
Exactly right.
I was trying to think of somewhere exotic.
Somewhere away from here. In Auckland.
In Auckland, New Zealand.
So tropical.
Hey, welcome to the show, everybody.
It's great to have you along for our
7th to last show of 2022.
I know.
We're just about to wrap up.
I feel like this year just started.
Like, I literally feel like it's the start of the year.
Really?
Like, I can remember it like it was yesterday.
Really?
And then I can't remember anything in between,
but I can remember the start.
I can't remember any solid points between 2017 and now.
Like, I just feel like...
All meshed into one.
Yeah, it's all just one big...
Like, they put time into a Nutribullet and just whizzed it up.
You had babies and you can't remember anything.
I think that's part of the reason.
We had babies, we had pandemics.
We had the best of times, we had the worst of times.
Today on the show, we're going to play What's the Plot?
Your chance to beat Brie and be the fourth What's the Plot champion of 2022.

and you can take her down in our movie guessing game,
that'll happen about quarter to five this afternoon.
Second last game of the year.
If I win, I'm not saying I'm going to,
because I don't want to jinx myself,
but do we carry on into next year?
Yeah, or...
Or?
We play on the last...
Until I lose.

Bay. She's 21 and she loves tomato sauce but hates tomatoes.
Welcome to the show, Sasha.

Hi.
You'd be like breathing.
You wouldn't be into one of those fancy pants gourmet tomato sauces, right?
You just want the...
Oh, it kind of depends.
It's got to be quite sweet. Yeah, okay.
I have to agree with you, Sash. Do you prefer
carnie sauce over Waddy's tomato
sauce? You know the one they dip the hot dogs in?
Oh, only for the
hot dogs, I reckon. Yeah, it's very
sweet, that one. Very sweet. Yeah.
Okay, you're taking on our tradie today. He's calling

Right.

You should know this one.
Question number three, two to the ladies.
Name the alcoholic spirit that has a very high alcohol percentage

depending on where you drink it in the world.
Bit of a tough one, this one.
Nope.
It was Miduri.
Oh, Miduri?
Do you mean Miduri?
Yeah, I'm joking.
Absinthe is what we were looking for.
Would you have accepted chartreuse?
I feel like you would have had to accept chartreuse as well.
Green and very high in alcohol.
Yeah, I would have accepted chartreuse.
Would you have accepted Midori?
No, definitely not.
That is sweet as anything.

Very festive family.
And do you guys go big on Christmas?
Unfortunately, the in-laws have passed now,
but they did enjoy a bit of lighting the brandy pudding on fire.
Yes, go Noel, enjoy.
That burns all the alcohol off.
Just so you're aware, you've got to add more brandy after that.
Sarah's here.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi.
Sarah, who is the person you know that
has a very festive name?
It is my niece.
What's your niece's name?
My niece is called Noelle
Tinsel. No, she's not.
No, she's not. I'm not.
No, you've called up to make
a joke on the radio.
No, I
nearly killed my sister.
So your sister, your sister did
that? Yes.
Does your sister really love
Christmas or something? Was she born
on Christmas? No, she was born
in March.
Hey, you know what they say. Not even
conceived in Christmas. No,
nothing. My sister loves Christmas
and that's it. Yeah, okay.
Well, I mean, Noel is quite a cute name.
It's a beautiful name. You know?
And not everyone's going to find out
that her middle name is Tinsel.
What's her last name? No.

It's a child's name, Brie.
Thanks, Sarah.
Pull your head in.
Appreciate your call.
Someone texted through and said,
I used to work with twins who were born on Christmas Day
called Chrissy and Carol.
No, no, no.
Tis the season, everybody.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Brendan Fraser, who if you're a millennial,
you'll know from The Mummy.
He's having such a moment at the moment.
He is because he was in that movie that's getting big praise, The Whale.
Yes. Set to come
out soon, right? It's got Oscar
vibes about it.
He's back in a major way. He was
one of GQ Magazine's
Men of the Year. And because of that
they've done an interview with him. Adam Sandler
has sat down to interview Brendan Fraser
where he's talked about
George of the Jungle, the movie George of the Jungle.
Again, very millennial reference.
Iconic movie.
He's like Tarzan.
All he wears is a loincloth and he's ripped, man.
And Nike ears.
Yeah, that's right.
He said something quite interesting about it.
Have a listen.
You did right by the character,
but you did wrong by us, man.
You made us feel bad about ourselves oh i was waxed pleased uh starved of carbohydrates i would drive home after work and
stop to get something to eat and i needed some cash one day and i go into the atm and i could
not remember my pin number because my brain was misfiring banging I'm banging on this thing. I didn't eat that thing.
People who go keto talk about that too,
about the brain fog that you get
because your brain actually needs carbohydrates to function.
Yeah, you need to fuel your brain.
Yeah.
I always like hearing stars like that
talk about how unsustainable
the physique they achieved for the movie was
because you see it and you go, oh man, I wish I was as ripped as Tarzan. But then they go, no, it's not possible. how unsustainable the physique they achieved for the movie was.
Because you see it and you go,
oh man, I wish I was as ripped as Tarzan.
But then they go, no, it's not possible.
Daniel Craig said the same thing about James Bond.
When he did that scene,
you know the James Bond scene where he walks out of the water and he's wearing the tiny little trunks?
Yeah.
He's like, no.
So when are we going to stop that in films then?
What?
Unrealistic body types?
A hundred percent. When are we going to stop that? films then? What? Unrealistic body types? 100%.
When are we going to stop that? Because
it just sends a message, especially
to young minds, that
people actually look like that.
They don't. It's not actually possible.
They don't actually look like that. It's not sustainable.
So, I mean, that
could be a conversation for the future. Hopefully
some Hollywood directors are
starting to go in that direction.
Yeah, there you go.
That's the latest.
Speaking of Lizzo, she picked up an award at the People's Choice Awards last night.
Yeah, there's so many awards.
There's so many awards.
The People's Choice, in my opinion, are the most important.
Because they're decided by the people?
Yeah, they're the awards.
But who organises them?
They're the awards you want to win.
Is it the Nickelodeon People's Choice Awards?
No, this one...
Is it the MTV People's Choice Awards?
Looking at it, it's just the People's Choice Awards.
The People's Choice Awards.
Organised by the people, by the people, for the people.
For the people, exactly.
And everyone is talking about Shania Twain,
who had a number of outfit changes.
She did a big musical performance during the show
because she was awarded the Music Icon Award.
Yeah, great.
She deserves that.
Well deserved.
Yeah.
And also what got people talking is obviously the iconic song,
That Don't Impress Me Much.
The iconic lyric is she says, Brad Pitt.
Yeah.
That Don't Impress Me Much.
Okay, so you're brad pitt she's
changed out the person during the performance for someone else's name take a listen
he was there
So you
Yeah
He was in the crowd
Yeah
Got to
I love it so much
It's good to update
The reference
It is
Isn't it
I think it
Is it Canadian
V Canadian
Type of thing
Possibly
Yeah
But you gotta keep
To stay relevant
Ella said she didn't
Even think Brad Pitt
Was attractive the other day
It's a Gen Z disconnect. I'm still getting
over that comment that you said that.
I just don't get the hype. Do you guys
like Ryan Reynolds?
Yep. Yep, but not Brad Pitt
too old. No, I just don't get it.
That shooketh to me my core.
She's keeping the references up to date.
Shania Twain's like, okay, so you're Benson
Boone.
Oh my god, I get that one. Okay, so you're Benson Boone. That was like, oh my God, I get that one.
Okay, so you're Harry Styles.
That don't impress me much.
That's quite good.
She said she was going to do a collab with Harry Styles.
That would go off.
She got on stage that one time with him.
Hey, to pay tribute to Shania,
we play a game on this show called That Don't Impress Me Much.
It's been Christmas-ified by producer Claude too.
That don't impress me much.
So what you do is let Shania bring you in
and then you state the thing that don't impress you much.
We've got some people standing by on the phones to play with us.
Would you like to kick it off?
I'll kick it off.
This is pretty easy.
The Christmas edition.
Something that doesn't impress me much about Christmas.
Oh, you think it's something special.
Oh, you think it's something less.
Okay.
Gift cards.
That don't impress me much.
They're a scam.
Got a little towel. They're a scam. Got a little towel.
They're a scam.
Don't get into it, Ella.
I love a gift card.
She's passionately anti-gift card.
They're a scam.
You know why?
Because people never end up spending all the money on them.
Even if it's like a couple of cents or a dollar,
and then guess where that goes?
It goes back to whoever you bought the gift card from.
Yeah.
Fair.
Anyway, moving on.
Okay.
I've got one.
Can I go?
Okay.
You go.
Okay.
So you think that men don't want socks and undies for Christmas.
And you've been telling people that we don't want socks and undies for Christmas?
Newsflash.
Every man you know wants socks and undies for Christmas.
I literally said to my partner the other night, I was like,
I really want some new bras for Christmas.
See? Universal.
Nah, I think it's a certain age group thing.
Oh, you reckon we're in the age bracket
I think we're in the age bracket
Sam's here
Sam you got a Christmas
That don't impress me much
For us
Oh are you there Sam
Yep
Yeah shall we do it
Let's do it
Yep
Come on Sam
It's your turn
Oh Sam
Okay
So you post a flat mate Of your Christmas presents On social media Oh, you think you're something less Okay.
So you post a flat lay of your Christmas presents on social media.
Oh, no.
That don't impress me much.
A flat lay?
You don't even lie at all the presents.
Oh.
We've got a surprise for you. It's like rubbing it in your face.
It's like, Look what I got.
Look how much people love me.
Get a gift card and stop whinging.
I'll do a flat lay of all my undies if I get them.
Thank you, Sam.
Ella, you're up.
Okay.
Don't impress me that I have to rap all my presents.
Oh, I love that part.
I love that part.
I hate it.
I hate rapping.
Yeah, me too.
I try not to and mum makes me.
I got into a relationship with an expert prison rapper.
A prison rapper?
Jeez.
What?
What did you get for Christmas?
Just ignore what I was going to say.
Claudia, you're up.
Okay, so every group in my life wants to do Secret Santa.
Ain't that the truth.
I've got like six secret sanders on my...
Yeah, same.
Claude's angry because we made her do a second secret sander for just our show.
It was annoying.
Claude, was that our first ever passive aggressive, that don't impress me much?
No, I would never.
That was definitely targeted.
I felt the passive aggressiveness.
I felt like you were coming for me.
Look, in the lead up to Christmas, I thought
this was quite fitting because I came across
this list of people who were
talking about the worst Christmas gifts
they'd ever received. Oh, ungrateful.
No, I don't think they
are. And hear me out.
And you might want to avoid this
if you are buying gifts for people.
Women receiving a vacuum cleaner.
My mum received a broom from my dad one year.
Piss off.
No, no joke.
Piss off.
No joke.
There was a bow on it and everything.
I can kind of,
and please don't take me out of context.
I can kind of understand
if it's like a bougie vacuum cleaner
and someone's always wanted a Dyson kind of thing.
Nah.
No, no, I'm not saying it's okay.
I can understand it.
Hear me out.
No, no, no, no, no.
Because you're leading people astray.
Hear me out.
Don't buy a vacuum cleaner for someone.
I can understand why you...
Unless it's a robo-vac.
Just please.
I can kind of understand why you think it might have been a good gift because you're like
this is fancy. What I can't
understand is a broom. A broom
is just manual labour.
How did he justify it to her?
I think you should buy your wife a vacuum
for Christmas this year.
I think she should buy me one. And then you see
how she reacts. I think she should buy me one.
She will be like, are you joking? I would
love it. You would love it.
You would love it.
That's because you don't do any vacuuming.
That is a misnomer.
I do so.
Anyway, back to this list.
Your dad gave a broom.
That is outrageous. Which is real bad.
My mum still to this day, I reckon I would have been about eight when this happened.
If we called my mum right now, she would still rage.
About the broom.
We'll get her on later.
You wait.
She will rage about it.
But I think these might be worse.
Okay.
So let me read a few of these out.
Get her on, Claude.
Yeah, can you call up mum and dad?
Yeah.
Someone said, my ex-boyfriend gave me a packet of cigarettes
after I had quit three months before to celebrate my progress. Most memorable thing
he gave me also was chlamydia.
That was a plot twist at the end there. That's not a great present. Someone else said
my uncle got me a taxidermy dove for my ninth birthday.
Really? That's so bad. Were you into doves or
taxidermy? That's so bad. Were you into dubs or taxidermy? That's so bad.
Someone else said,
My husband received his recently deceased grandfather's used disposable razor
as a Christmas gift from his grandmother, complete with hair and all.
Disposable razor?
That's, yeah.
Maybe grandma thought it was one, like an heirloom thing where you change out the blades.
Yeah, like a vintage one would be like understandable.
That'd be fine when you put fresh blades in it.
Yeah.
And we got her.
Mama Di, hi.
Hi, guys.
Hi, Clint.
Hi, you're live on the radio.
You're live, Mum.
Hey, I was just telling Clint about how your favourite present
you've ever got from Big Steve is the broom.
Don't even bring that up.
That's such, It's not...
I'm not over it.
You know, 25 years later, I'm not over it.
It's not good.
Remember, he put a bow on it and everything, though.
I know, and that was the broom.
Where is the broom now?
Halfway up Steve's arse.
Halfway? No's arse Halfway No
No mate
It ended up in the tip
Like as soon as I
I'm trying to wrap my head around this
Because
You're married to a smart man
How did he
Try and justify the gift
To you
Or even to himself
Like how did he think
That a broom was a good gift idea
Because you know how you get
these Van Dangle things
that are that much better
and, you know,
they sweep that much better
and they pick up all the dust
and all that kind of stuff.
That was a fancy broom.
Oh, it was a new and improved broom.
Well, supposedly.
But Jesus,
I don't think that Christmas presents
should be anything that you need.
So, Mum, you're saying what if Dad had got you,
hypothetically, what if Dad had got you a really fancy vacuum cleaner?
No, and he did.
That was two years ago.
And I caught him out in the garage using it in the car.
And then your brother was just as bad.
They used it on everything.
Right, okay.
It's not good.
Right, that's good.
That's a good public service announcement for the men of New Zealand.
Thank you for sharing that with us, Mum and Di.
No, the men of New Zealand have to give their women something that they want, not need.
Oh, there you go.
Dad, I helped Dad get your Christmas present this year.
It's a dustpan and brush.
Brianna, I tell you what.
What?
I thought you wanted to, you know, complete the set.
It's not something you need.
No.
It's not what I want either.
Okay.
Thank you, Mum for dying.
Merry Christmas.
Love you, guys. Love you, thank you, Mum for dying. Merry Christmas. Love you, guys.
Love you.
Love you, Mum.
Bye.
My dad, honestly.
What a moron.
Oh, he's so dumb.
Every year, so my mum will be opening the gift from my dad.
I'm sure this happens in a lot of families.
And she'll be opening it and she opens it and my dad goes,
well, what did I get you?
Because we have organised it every year after that.
And every year she goes, better not be a bloody broom.
Mate.
He will never live it down.
He'll never, ever live it down.
We're going to ask you guys right now,
what's the worst Christmas gift you ever received?
What's the worst gift you ever got?
Bree and Clint.
A few texts coming through.
Let's kick it off with this one.
My dad owns a property maintenance business.
My mum has once received from him a water blaster
and also my personal favourite, a leaf blower.
So things that he needed.
Not even things that he wanted,
things he needed for his business.
That's so sick.
You're using your marriage as a fringe benefit.
I would get him a pair of high heels and be like, no, these are for you.
These are for you.
I'll be using them.
I'll use them, but they're for you.
They're for you.
Ariel is here.
Hi, Ariel.
Hi, Ariel.
Hi.
Hi.
Tell us.
What's the worst gift you ever got?
Oh, my family did Secret Santa,
and one year my brother got me and I got him.
I got him some coffee mugs because he needed them,
and he got me nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing. Can I ask Ariel,
when it came time where everyone was exchanging their Secret Santa gifts,
what did he say?
He said, sorry, but I didn't have money to get you anything.
Oh.
Nah, cop out.
Cop out.
Did he have money?
Say that up front.
Go and borrow it from mum.
No.
Because often when you do Secret Santa,
it's like you only have to do one present.
Yeah.
I've received an IOU from my brother for a few Christmases.
I'm going to get you that thing.
Yeah, I hate when someone says that and then they never.
And then they never do it.
What are you going to do?
Follow them up and go,
hey, just wondering where my Christmas present is?
Yeah.
Awkward. It's the worst. Rose is here. Hi, Rose. Hi, Rose going to do? Follow them up and go, hey, just wondering where my Christmas present is? Yeah.
Awkward.
It's the worst.
Rose is here.
Hi, Rose.
Hi, Rose.
Hi.
How are you guys?
Good, thanks, Rose.
Tell us, what's the worst gift you've ever received?
It wasn't me, but it was my mum back in 2000, just after having three kids under three.
And he decided to get her a step-o-meter.
Oh, that's so rude.
Who did?
Your dad?
Yeah, my dad.
Your dad.
So when you say step-o-meter,
is that the thing that counts your steps or the thing you do the indoor step training on?
No, the thing that counts your steps
are back before the iPhone.
I would have given it back to him.
I would have given it back to him and said,
when you get to 100,000 steps,
you're far enough away from me.
Yeah.
No, he had good intentions.
He's like, what is she like doing?
Walking.
But yeah, didn't quite read the room.
Man logic is so good, eh?
Man logic is so good.
They don't think about the bigger picture of what it would appear like.
No, and I can believe that your dad bought that gift with good intentions.
I can too.
But also, use your brain.
He would have no idea the wrath that he was about to inflict on himself.
Terrible.
Someone texted her and they said,
I got given a 20% voucher to Strandbags.
You know, the ones you all get in your emails
as a part of the Strandbags Club?
Yeah, my ex printed one of those out for my birthday.
He printed a discount coupon for you for your birthday.
That's shocking.
Someone else said, back in the day when Air New Zealand gave you socks on the flight,
my sister-in-law had come home for Christmas and wrapped up two of these pairs
and gave them to my husband, who is her brother, for Christmas.
They were legit adults, like 30 plus.
I hope she gave him the little free toothpaste you get on the plane as well,
the little disposable toothbrush. She better have given the whole pack toothpaste you get on the plane as well. The little disposable toothbrush.
She better have given the whole pack that you get. You know, make it a set.
Sean's here. Hi, Sean. Hi, Sean.
Hey, guys. How are you? Good. Thank you, Sean.
Tell us, mate. What's the worst gift
you've ever got? Oh, I was about
seven years old and I
had a PS3 box to open and
it was from my older brother and I remember opening it
and it was just full of chocolate wrappers
and empty Just Juice bottle and just rubbish in general.
That's so mean.
He got you a PS3 box to make you think that you got a PlayStation
and he gave you legit rubbish.
Yeah, no, he definitely did.
I ran upstairs, I broke down.
Oh, Sean, that's horrible.
That's such sibling behaviour, eh?
Yeah, it is, it is.
Siblings are so ruthless.
That's such a TikTok prank as well,
like to do that to somebody.
But you need to follow through with the real PS3.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
I never got one.
And then it would be fine.
Then you'd go, got your brother.
Sean, bless your heart.
I reckon I could get you a pretty cheap PS3 now
if you still want one, Sean.
Get one on TradeMate.
Yeah, definitely.
You can have mine.
Free and Clint.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, eh, athletic.
Not really, but picking a movie title
based on just the plot line, that she can do.
Brie and Clint's What's the Plot?
It's on for the second to last time of 2022.
This year there have only been three What's the Plot champions
across the entire year.
That is correct.
Will there be a fourth today?
It's up to you, Tia.
Hi.
Hi, Tia. Hi. Hi, Tia.
Hi.
What's your movie knowledge like, Tia?
Pretty good, I hope.
Pretty good?
Yeah.
She's holding back.
I think she watches a lot of films.
You reckon she's sharking you a bit?
Yeah, a little bit, which is smart.
This is how it works.
I'm going to start movie plot lines to famous movies.
Either you or Bree are going to buzz in
as soon as you think what you know that movie is.
You don't wait for me to finish the plot line to have your guess.
Go as soon as you think you know it.
Yep.
If you get it right, you get a point.
If you get it wrong, the other person gets a free guess.
And it's first to two.
Okay.
Okay.
Today on the line, $150 cash.
Our theme, Now this is niche
But I like it
Brendan Fraser

I was like, okay.
Well, there's only like three.
He's got quite a few.
Does he?
Yeah.
Well, I'd just go Mummy,
Mummy 2.
Blast from the Past.
Bedazzled.
See, that's why you're
the movie nerd and not me.
Tia, you good to go?
Yeah.
Let's do it then.
Movie number one.
I reckon you can put the theme to the side
and just go off the plot.
All right, okay.
Movie number one.
He doesn't know it,
but everything in our hero's life
is part of a massive TV set.
Brie.
Brie.
The Truman Show.
Truman Show is correct.
You were going to say that,
weren't you, Tia?
Yes, I was literally
just talking about it today.
Were you?
No way.
Yeah.
You're kidding.
That was a pretty easy one.
I feel like most people
would have got that.
Starred Holland Taylor.
Who's that?
From, um...
Oh, yeah,
George of the Jungle.
From George of the Jungle.
Yeah, yeah. Movie number two. Let's get a bit... Oh, yeah, George of the Jungle. From George of the Jungle. Yeah, yeah.

Let's get a bit random with this one.
British gangster George and his hapless aide Ken
draft a pair of arrogant Americans,
grifter Wanda and weapons expert Otto,
for a massive diamond heist.
Tia.
Tia.
Oceans A11.
I can see where you might be going with an Oceans film.
It is not an Oceans film.
Diamonds.
When the job...
Oh, you want a free guess, Brie?
Let's just say...
It's not Oceans.
The Italian job.
When the job goes badly,
Wanda attempts to seduce George's scruffy, stuffy lawyer, Archie,
to find out where he hid the diamonds.
Brie.
The other guys?
The other guys.
We've got a free guest here.
I told you it was random.
Diamonds.
The link to George of the Jungle
is John Cleese
from Monty Python.
Yeah, I know John Cleese.
He's so funny. I'm going to buzz you out, Tia, in three,
two,
inside job.
Movie was A Fish
Called Wanda. Never heard
of it. Have you, Tia? No.
Well, that's all right. We can put that one behind us.
Okay, let's keep going then.
No points.
Movie number three.
After four years of college, Alice decides she needs a break
from her long-term boyfriend, Josh.
Excited and ready for new challenges, the eager grab goes to new...
Oh, How To Be Single.
How To Be Single is correct.
I love that movie.
Stars Leslie Mann.
That's one of my all-time favourite films.
Sorry, Tia.
From George of the Jungle.
Not today, Tia, unfortunately.
But we will send you away with 50 KFC chicken dollars
as a consolation prize.
Woo-hoo.

Pretty good going into Christmas.
And 50 KFC chicken.

Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
All right, a little birthday banger to get you home for a Thursday.
You call us up, give us your birthday.
We figure out what was the number one song on your 16th birthdays
and then we're going to play one of those songs in full.

Yeah, not been kissed. Yeah, not been kissed.
Yeah, never been kissed.
We appreciate you calling the show on your birthday, Rob.
Let's do your birthday banger.
So, wait, let me do the quick math.
That means you were born in 1971.
And you were 16 in 1987, Rob.
And back on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Yes, I gotta have food.
I gotta have food. I gotta have food.
Yes, I gotta have food.
Food, food, food.
Oh, Rob, it's a banger.
You went to George Michael, Robert?
That's a banger.
It's a classic.
It's a classic, yeah.
Oh, it's a good one, Rob.
Okay, wait there.
You pretending you were doing the quick math
to work out Rob's birthday.
I'm good at math.
Right, if I go back 51 years from today.
We're going to go, hold on.
Carry the one.
1971.
Shania is here.
Hi, Shania.
Hi, Shania.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you guys?
Good, thank you.
Congratulations on your fellow name person, Shania Twain, winning Icon of the Year.
Yeah, she's a vibe.
Are you named after her too?
We literally had it, was it yesterday?
We had Shania on the show and she was named after her?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
No, yeah, I'm definitely named after her.
Amazing.
That's incredible.
Okay, cool.
Okay, second one this week.
Shania, what's your birthday?
16th of May, 1998.
Right, Shania, that means you were 16 in 2014.
And back on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
That don't impress me much.
What are the odds?
What are the chances that I make the same joke two days in a row?
Pretty high. Pretty high.
Pretty high, to be honest.
Literally, that's my only sense of humour.
Do you want to hear your real soul?
Is that not it?
I was so excited.
Sorry.
It's good, though.
It's this.
Does that impress you much, Shania?
No, honestly, I think the first one is a little bit better than that one.
Wait, the first one being George Michael Faith?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, yeah, fair enough.
So that don't impress you much?
No.
Okay, cool.
Fair enough, Shania.
Amy's here.
Hi, Amy.
Hi, Amy.

Oh yeah pretty good
Pretty good

Not bad
Wait there Ames
We've got to decide between George Michael,
Icky Azalea and Fatboy Slim.
I love that Fatboy Slim song.
Me too.
Yeah, it reminds me of my childhood.
It's a great song.
They were all good.
I liked them all, actually.
I'm going with my mate Robert for his birthday.
Oh, I thought you'd agreed with me.
You said same.
I thought I had you.
George Michael Faith is my vote. I'm going with Fatboy me. You said same. I thought I had you. George Michael Faith
is my vote. I'm going with
Fatboy Slim. We're going to go to a split vote.
We're going to give it to Claudia. What's the
winner today, Claude?
Ella really wants a news alia. I
am leaning, ooh, it's
between Faith and Praise You, but I think I'm
going to go for Fatboy Slim. Praise You.
Amy, you
just won birthday banner. Congratulations.
Thank you.
All good.
Sorry, Rob, I know it's your birthday and all, but...
Happy birthday, Rob.
Brian Clint, sit in.
Brian Clint. I don't know if you know this about me, Clint, but I love science.
Do you?
Yep.
I'm a big science gal.
I took three different sciences in high school.
Did I pass all of them?
No.
But that is not of the concern here today. How come you keep saying that the vaccine isn't real then?
I've got more vaccines than most people in this country in my body.
Thank you very much.
I would like to take this opportunity to rescind the previous comments made by Clinton Roberts.
I was given three seconds of pure silence and I learnt my lesson.
Yeah, so you should.
I have conducted a bit of an experiment here this afternoon
and I was thinking about emojis
and how it's like an unspoken kind of way to communicate
where you just literally send like a face or a picture of something
and someone's meant to know what that means.
It's easier and it brightens up the conversation.
Absolutely.
But I was thinking, is it the same universal language for emojis
across different generations?
Are we understanding what the person is actually meaning with the emojis?
Exactly.
So what I've done, I've picked out three emojis
and then I have asked people from three different generations what they think those emojis mean.
Got it.
And then we're going to compare the notes right here.
Okay, perfect.
So the first one we're going to delve into is the skull emoji.
So the people taking part in this experiment are Gen Z-er, producer Ella, Millennial, Clinton Roberts,
and Baby Boomer, Mama Di.
So these have all been pre-recorded,
so you guys don't know what each other has said.
No.
So for the skull emoji,
this is what Gen Z-er, producer Ella said she thinks it means.
I think the skull emoji means they're laughing so much
that they're dead, literally.
Right? But, literally. Right.
But not literally.
What do the millennials think?
When someone uses the skull emoji, I think it means dead,
but not like actually dead, like D-E-D, like O-M-G, I am dead.
And what do the baby boomers think?
I think the skull emoji means you're dead to me
and I don't want to hear from you anymore.
Not bad.
I thought she was going to go, pirates.
Probably, probably pirates.
Probably pirates.
Let's move along to the second emoji that was tested.
The nail polish on the fingers emoji.
What do the Gen Zers think that means? I think the nail polish emoji means, like, you know, slay.
Like, a lot of queer people would use it.
Like, go, queen.
And the millennials.
I think the nail polish emoji means, yes, queen,
or, like, just generally fabulous.
So, united on that one.
Yeah, we are.
But what about Mama Di and the Baby Boobers?
I think the nail polish emoji means, come on, it's a girl's night out, let's go for it.
Could it?
I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
Kind of.
All right.
She's not a million miles away from it.
She's not way off. She isn't way off at all. No. All right, She's not a million miles away from it. She's not way off.
She isn't way off at all.
No.
All right, let's do the last one.
The eggplant emoji.
What do the Gen Zers think?
I think the eggplant emoji means what it looks like,
but if you know, you know.
Yeah.
Do we know?
I don't know.
Who knows?
What about the millennials?
The eggplant emoji means big donger.
And the baby boomers.
I think the eggplant emoji means let's go out for a good night
and let's see what happens afterwards.
I don't think it's in the cooking side of things.
She was right.
She doesn't mean an eggplant parmigiana date.
No.
No, right, okay.
Which, I mean, from the study that was done, kind of, I mean...
We've all got a vague understanding of each other, don't we?
Yeah, like it's all pretty close.
The Gen Zers and the Millennials are closer.
Yeah.
And, I mean, the baby boom is not too far off,
but I also recorded one piece of bonus footage from Mama Di
where I asked her about one more emoji.
Oh, the peach emoji means,
gee, is that your peachy?
Is that your well?
Nah, it means vagina.
Oh, Brianna.
What's that, a furry?
Does it mean vagina?
Does it mean bum?
I thought it means bum.
Well, I need to go text a few people back because I've been using it in the wrong way.
What have you been using the taco emoji for?
I haven't used the taco emoji.
Oh, God.
We're all confused.
We're learning.
It's okay.
We're learning.
Brian Clint.
This is the end of our seventh to last show of the year.
Tomorrow will be our sixth to last show of the year.
Hey, a bit of a, you know how we always tell people what we're watching?
Yeah.
Or maybe something that's good to watch.
Have you ever watched My Unorthodox Life?
Lucy watches it.
My wife loves it.
The second season that has just dropped on Netflix,
way better than the first season.
Yeah.
And quite full on where I feel like it's really real
because in the season, right at the start,
the woman breaks up with her husband
and then all of this stuff happens where essentially he fires her
from this big company and the cameras are rolling through the whole thing.
Yeah, it's reality, right? Reality TV.
Yeah, but I feel like it's really like reality.
I feel like it's not what they had planned to do on the show.
Right, okay, it's gone off script.
Yeah, because stuff had gone down when they were filming.
It's quite good.
It's a huge night of Netflix tonight.
The Harry and Meghan doco drops at 9 o'clock.
That is going to break records tonight.
They reckon it might be the most watched thing on Netflix ever.
Ever.
That's wild.
I mean, have they watched Squid Game though?
That was pretty good.
Yeah. Did they watch, um have they watched Squid Game, though? That was pretty good. Yeah.
Did they watch, um...
Damn, what's another reference?
Minions 2?
That wasn't on Netflix.
Was it?
Damn, did they not watch House of Cards?
Great film.
House of Cards?
Was that on Netflix?
Yeah.
I didn't watch it.
Have a great night, everybody.
We'll catch you back tomorrow for Friday
and Friday-okey
and a Friday-okey live in East Auckland
on The Brian Clint Show.
Bye.
Bye guys.
