G'day everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint show.
G'day everyone, happy Friday.
Question for the team and anyone listening, does anyone else do this whenever I'm in a public bathroom?
Stand on the toilet and whenever I'm in a public bathroom, if I... Stand on the toilet seat and squat.
No, definitely not.
But if I'm in a cubicle and I hear someone else is in a cubicle,
I always wait until I hear them leave before coming out of the cubicle
because I feel like ashamed or something that I'm going to meet them at the sinks.
Does anyone else do that or is it just me?
I don't, but I do understand where you're coming from.
And it's not like only...
You mean when you're in there like destroying the bowl?
No, no, no.
And you've caused an absolute ruckus.
No, to be honest, it's more the other way.
I need to leave under the cover of anonymity.
No, I'm only talking about doing wheeze,
but if I hear someone else having a bad time,
I don't want to make eye contact with them in case they feel embarrassed.
I never want to know who made those noises.
No.
You know what I mean?
In fact, can people in public toilets quieten down, please?
That's disgusting, being able to hear someone else.
Sometimes you can't help it.
Nah.
Sometimes people can't help it.
You can go softly.
Sometimes you've got to...
You can lessen the load.
There's a lot of different levels of IBS
and some people have it mild, some people have it worse.
Don't bring IBS in this.
Anyway, should we talk about the show?
What's on the show today?

Thank you very much, team.
Appreciate it.
Nice work, Jeremy.
Have a good weekend.
Bree and Clint.
Could you be making money out of your wedding day?
Ooh, okay.
That is my question.
Yeah.
Because...
Are you going to do a big Women's Day deal?
Are you going to sell the photos to Women's Day?
Like Maddie McLean.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
Do you reckon they got paid for that?
I think so.
Do you reckon?
Yeah, I reckon.
Yeah.
Because it was an exclusive.
Oh, that'd be nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the photos were beautiful.
Weren't they?
Great photos.
Now, I'm talking about this situation where a friend of the bride and groom feels like
she got scammed. A friend of the bride and groom feels like she got scammed.
A friend of the bride and groom feels like she got scammed at the wedding?
At the wedding.
Okay.
So here's the situation.
So a really good friend of hers was getting married.
It's her wedding day.
And at the wedding, they had a cash bar.
Okay.
Meaning you had to pay for your drinks.
Okay.
So they had drinks there, but you had to pay for them. Right. Okay. Meaning you had to pay for your drinks. Okay. So they had drinks there, but you had to pay for them. Right. Okay. My least, my least favorite kind of wedding,
but I understand times are tight. Apparently the bride and groom don't drink much. So everyone was
kind of like, oh, that makes sense. They don't. Nah, I take it back then they're just being eggs.
Nah. I think it's, I think it's rough to have a cash bar at a wedding, but I mean. If you,
if you have to have a cash bar to make the day financially feasible, I get it.
Yeah.
If you're just having a cash bar because you don't drink-
Yeah, then that's not fair.
Fun sponge.
Yeah, that's not fair.
Well, you wait.
You're about to get way more angry.
So apparently she met up with the friend after she went on their honeymoon.
Yeah.
So the bride and groom have gone on a honeymoon for a month in Italy.
Okay, nice.
Big elaborate trip.
Love it.
Anyway, she said to her friend, how was the honeymoon?
She's like, it was amazing.
It was like incredible.
We went and did this and that and this and that.
And anyway, she then dropped this massive bombshell and said something about the wedding.
Okay.
So, apparently, she told her friend that her family friend owns a liquor store and gifted
the bride and groom all of the alcohol that they served at the cash bar on the wedding
night.
You are kidding.
Right?
So, wait.
So, apparently apparently the friend did
the math in her head. So she's like, okay, I got around five
drinks and I spent around a hundred bucks. Okay. And there
was 200 guests at the wedding. So roughly do
the maths on that. They would have made around $20,000.
Over the bar,
these
people.
Oh my God. Do you
think they're
in the wrong? If
everything that they have heard, which
it's all rumours, but if everything
in that is correct. No, that's
from the bride. Oh, the bride
said they got the booze for free.
The bride told the friend,
we got gifted all the alcohol
because a family friend works at a liquor store.
You've still got to pay the venue to serve it.
So there is a charge.
But it's usually like a dollar a drink.
They hired one bartender
and paid them $20 an hour plus tips.
Are they in the wrong?
Did they also have a wishing well at the wedding?
It doesn't say.
They're like, oh, please don't buy us any gifts.
Just give us cash.
Because when I read this, obviously the story is skewed
that the bride and groom are horrible and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
When I read it, I was kind of like.
Really? Yeah. Like kind of like. Really?
Yeah, like, I mean.
Really?
I don't think it's that bad.
I don't think having a cash bar at your wedding is that bad.
I do think charging people for booze that you got for free
to make a profit is bad.
Oh, see, I don't think it's that bad.
Really?
On selling the free booze that you got, you don't think that's
bad? Well, they have been
gifted the booze as a wedding
present from their friend. Yeah.
Just to serve at the, oh yeah,
maybe it is bad. But you're the host. Maybe it is bad.
You're the host. You're hosting these people
at your event. Am I? Maybe.
If they didn't have a
wishing well, it's not as bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why is that? Why is it not as bad if they don't have a wishing well? Because they're asking for money all over the place in that situation. Yeah, true. have a wishing well, it's not as bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why is it not as bad if they don't have a wishing well?
Because they're asking for money all over the place in that situation.
With a wishing well situation, you're giving some money as a gift
and they usually will use that money to go on honeymoon.
But in return for that, you're getting dinner and drinks and a great day.
So I think it's fine if they ask for no gifts, no wishing well,
but had the cash bar.
And you got free dinner.
And you got free dinner, yeah.
Okay, what if there was no sit-down dinner,
there was just a few snacks going around on plates?
Oh, not cool.
Because then you just got people there to make money on the bar.
Friday Jams, Avril Lavigne. Have you ever realised that the updated modern song of that is Ariana Grande?
Which one?
Break up with your girlfriend.
Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend.
Oh, yeah.
Buzzy G.
They're both girls who are like, hey.
Get rid of her.
Yeah, ditch her.
An upgrade to me.
Brie, do you know what an LAT couple is?
They're real big on the lat pulls at the gym.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Just get their lat pump on.
Yeah, they're a bodybuilding couple.
Yeah.
Who always skip leg day.
Big lats.
No, LAT stands for living apart together.
Living apart together.
A living apart together couple.
A couple who live in separate houses.
Oh, right.
So a new relationship.
No.
And you live apart.
No.
A long-term relationship where you choose to continue to live separately.
Right.
It's different.
Because every other relationship, eventually you had a point and you go,
well, I guess we should move into it together.
Yeah, that's what...
Whether it's romantically or financially. And it's what the well I guess we should move into it together. Yeah that's what whether it's romantically
or financially.
That is what the norm
says that we should do.
I was reading an article
this week
by a woman
who's in an LAT relationship.
They've got their own houses.
They are older.
They're in their 50s
and I think
they're both divorced.
Okay so it's like
their second time
around the sun.
Yeah yeah yeah.
They spend weekends together
but not all weekend. Like sleepovers? Yeah sleepovers on the weekends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They spend weekends together, but not all weekend.
Like sleepovers?
Yeah, sleepovers on the weekends.
Yeah.
But not all weekend.
They still go and do their own thing and stuff.
They don't want to be step-parents to each other's kids.
So there's no like...
Crossover?
Yeah.
I think he's got like a 15 and a 17-year-old,
and she's like, I have no intention of being their mother figure.
Yeah, right.
They've got a mum for that. I'm your girlfriend, not their step mum.
Yeah, right.
So she stays out of all of that and she just comes around for drinks and dinner and stuff
on the weekend and movies and sleeps over. And yeah, they just continue to live in separate
houses. Do you think it could work for younger couples too? I mean, I know the main barrier would be the cost,
especially at the moment,
having to maintain two houses or two rents or two mortgages.
I think it obviously gets blurry if there's kids involved.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
But you and your partner, for example, no kids involved yet.
Would you like to be a live apart together couple?
I mean, yes.
Would you like your own house i mean yes and no
i feel like i'd get lonely but it would be nice because you and i've talked about this before
like it'd be nice to have like an apartment like somewhere that's like close to the city or close
to you know where the bars or the whatever is so if you do go out you can just go stay at the
apartment yeah that'd be quite nice who gets to live in the apartment though?
You or your partner?
You rotate.
Yeah.
Or you don't, no one lives in the apartment or lives in the house.
You both live in the house, but then you can just have a night or two when you want to.
Yeah.
I'll be like, shotgun the apartment.
Oh, it's Friday.
Shotgun the apartment.
No kids.
Is there kids at the apartment?
Nah, it's too dangerous.
Shotgun the apartment.
Any dogs to feed at the apartment? Nope. Shotgun the apartment. Shotgun the apartment. No responsibility at the apartment? Nah, it's too dangerous. Shook on the apartment. Any dogs to feed at the apartment?
Nope.
Shook on the apartment.
Shook on the apartment.
No responsibility at the apartment?
Shook on.
Has anyone messed up the apartment this week?
Like, is it dirty or anything?
No, no one's been there.
Shook on the apartment.
Yep, that's where I'm going.
Yep, love it.
That's where the issue would come in.
Yeah.
You know?
I know my wife would love a living apart together relationship.
She would absolutely froth having her own house.
Just her own space away from you.
Yeah, would she miss me?
I like to think eventually.
Eventually.
How long would it take?
I don't know.
Yeah, like realistically, how long do you think it would take?
A few weeks probably.
A few weeks?
Maybe longer.
Maybe you should do a two weeks on, two weeks off situation.
She'd miss me on bin day.
Yeah.
She'd miss me when the bins needed to be taken out.
That's when she'd notice.
She'd be like, oh, that's right, Clint's not here.
Anyway, if you're interested in it, proposing it to your partner,
it has a name.
It's called Living Apart Together.
Yeah.
There's just that little pesky thing of the cost of living at the moment.
The only issue is it's twice as expensive as regular living.
Yeah.
So. Oh, well. Yeah. Pl as expensive as regular living. Oh well.
Plenty of money around.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is
The Latest. Live from
LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's here. Jennifer Lawrence has explained
why she wore jandals to the Cairns
Film Festival the other week, Dean.
This is very good actual thinking for her because she said that the shoes
that they gave her to wear with her outfit were one size too big
and that when she got there, she was like, I'm going to fall over
because, you know, she falls, right?
She fell over at the Oscars.
She fell over outside the Oscars and she just felt like,
I'm not going to go down a con.
So she wore, yeah, we call them like, you know, flip-flops,
pluggers, thongs, jandals.
She wore them on a red carpet.
And here's the thing, no one was going to see because she has this big,
red, beautiful dress.
But she was going down some stairs and she lifted the front up,
and that is when a photographer caught the jandals on camera.
My God.
For her own safety.
Dean, it's so relatable.
It's ridiculous.
Like, I feel like this is quite interesting that everyone has been
in that situation where you feel like you've got your whole outfit ready
and then at the last minute you realise something's not quite right.
This happened to me one time when I went to an awards
and I realised that the bra that I'd taken with me was actually not right for the dress that
I was wearing and you could see it everywhere. So I ended up wearing
no bra and I had to use masking tape to strap my
boobs like around my body. Like legit. And it worked
fine but you know and I'm the only one that knew but it was just like
panic. How was taking the masking tape off at the end of the night? Yeah,
the fake tan came off with the masking tape. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now I can relate to that. You should have fake tanned after the
masking tape like you were painting the skirting boards of a house. Yeah, true. You had a
perfect line around there. What felt better, taking off a bra or
taking off the masking tape? Well, the masking felt better, taking off a bra or taking off the masking tape?
Well, the masking tape hurt.
Yeah, right.
Whereas like a bra doesn't hurt when you take it off.
So I'd say the bra.
Yeah.
There you go.
You can probably guess.
I've never done either.
That's the latest with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
Bree and Clint.
Time is waiting.
You only get one second of a song. No hesitating. You only get one second of a song
No hesitating
You only got one second, one second
Time for a game of the one second song challenge
where we go head to head guessing songs as quickly as humanly possible.
Sometimes we're really good at this.
Sometimes we are really fast.
And sometimes it's real bad.
But one thing that's always the same is we have a teammate to join us.
And Big Steve.
You'll be on my team, mate.
Yeah, mate.
How do you go with your music?
Oh, pretty average.
You and me both, Steve, so we'll make a good team.
Steve and Bree will be taking on Anna and Clint.
Hi, Anna.
G'day, Anna.
Hello, how are you guys?
Good, thanks.
How are you with your music?
You're a bit of an aficionado.
You know your stuff?
Yeah, I might know my bits and pieces.
Yeah, you might know your bits.
I can identify my bits and pieces too, Anna.
Problem is they're asking you to identify someone else's.
That's the challenge.
Producer Claudia runs the game.
Hi, Claude.
Hello, how are you going?
Good, thanks, Claude. Good. So are you going? Good. Thanks, Claude.
Good.
So I always have a theme for this.
Yeah.
And today is like no other.
There is a theme.
And that is songs that people love to hate.
Oh.
Interesting thing.
Okay.
I got you.
Yeah.
I got some in mind already.
Oh, yeah.
Keep those in mind just in case.
Yeah.
So I'm going to start a song from the beginning.
You just need to tell me the artist's name and the name of the song.
That's all I'm asking for. Okay. So buzz in with your name. Bree and Clint, you're going to go a song from the beginning. You just need to tell me the artist's name and the name of the song. That's all I'm asking for.
So buzzing with your name, Bree and Clint, you're going to go first.
Here's your song.
Great.
That's Justin Bieber, Baby.
Crushed it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, one of the most disliked videos on YouTube.
Probably, yeah.
That video has got more dislikes than like speeches from Hitler.
Wild.
No shit.
Yeah, why?
Probably because
no one's Googling
those speeches.
People love to hate.
We're on the board, Steve.
She got that off
one note.
Yeah, that was actually
really impressive.
It's so,
play from the start again.
I got it too.
I was going to say.
I just wasn't fast enough.
Anna's going to be fast though, aren't you, Anna?
Hopefully.
We know Steve's fast.
Okay, Steve and Anna, this one is for you guys.
Buzz in with your name if you can tell me what this song is.
It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
Anna.
Was it Carly Rae Jepsen?
Oh, that's a great guess.
Steve, you want to guess?
It was Taylor Swift.
Do you know the name of the song?
I can't think of it.
What's two plus 2?
Nothing
It's a number
3, 2, 1
22
15
15
22
Oh, close
Oh, he was so close
I love that Taylor Swift song, 15.
That's a good one.
There is actually a song called 15.
Is there?
Yeah, there is.
Is there?
There is.
Oh, what a shit joke from me then.
It's a good song too.
Okay.
All right.
Well.
Unlucky Steve.
Still one point to Team Brie.
Yeah, one point for Team Brie.
Brie and Clint, back to you guys.
Here's your song.
Clint.
Brie. Brie and Clint, back to you guys. Here's your song. Here's your song. Brie. Brie.
Oh, no.

Oh, that's Miley Cyrus.
Oh, now you're confusing me.
Miley Cyrus.
We.
Oh, it's just there.
Miley Cyrus, We Can't Stop.
Crushed It.
Do people hate this song?
Yeah.
I remember at the time you either loved it or you hated it.
Yeah, I get that.
Yeah, I like it.
I think it's a great Miley song.
Okay, one a piece.
We're going back to Anna and Steve.
Come on, Steve. Okay, good luck. Here's your song. Okay, one apiece. We're going back to Anna and Steve. Come on, Steve.
Okay, good luck.
Here's your song.
Wake up in the morning feeling like...

Two points for team Clint, one point for team Brie.
We can win this here.
Yeah, you can take it here.
Okay.
You ready?
Yeah, ready.
Okay, you go.
Clint.
Oh, Clint.
Carly Rae Jensen called me maybe.
Yeah.
Yes!
Not our day, Steve.
Not our day.
Oh, man.
Gave it a good shot.
Anna, you've won 50 KFC chicken dollars.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
I've never won anything.
Yay!
Look at you.
Nice work, Anna.
Have a good weekend.
Really thought we were going to get a baby shark in there in that game.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Baby Shark, da-do, da-do, da-do.
I like this Carly Rae song.
It's definitely one of my top three favourite Carly Rae Jepsen songs.
Brie and Clint.
And Never Be The Same Again.
Good song.
Great song.
I literally was vibing as soon as it came on.
I was like, oh, this takes me back to a place.
I've got to go into a radio show.
Hey, the new episode of The Kardashians is out.
I'm sure a lot of people listening right now,
that's their Friday night plans.
Go home, blob out, watch some trashy Kardashians.
In this episode, Kim Kardashian,
the most famous woman on the planet,
reveals that she's got a secret boyfriend. Yeah, and they won't, In this episode, Kim Kardashian, the most famous woman on the planet,
reveals that she's got a secret boyfriend.
Yeah, and they won't.
I mean, the thing that interests me is that this is filmed like six months ago.
Yeah.
And they're talking about the secret boyfriend then.
And she's managed to keep it a secret.
Either that or they weren't together for very long.
Yeah, they may have already broken up.
You're right.
She says in the episode she'd prefer to keep any possible romances away from the public eye so they can develop at their own pace.
Fair enough.
This is her talking to Scott Disick about it.
I'm not even going to ask you who.
So let's call this guy Fred.
Drop dead Fred.
Drop dead Fred.
All right, so let's go with Freddy.
Does he meet the standards?
Oh, so meets the standards.
Meets the standards.
Yeah.
Fred Durst.
That's who it is.
No one would expect it.
Chocolate starfish.
I was thinking...
Breathe in, breathe in.
I was thinking Fred again.
I think he's 25 years younger than her,
but he's very cool and trendy at the moment.
It's true.
Or probably the most likely one,
Freddy Krueger.
Fred Flintstone.
Fred Flintstone.
Yep-a-dab-a-hoo.
This is,
even though it's Kim Kardashian,
it's quite relatable, I feel.
She said as soon as you put a label on it,
then you have to explain it to people.
As soon as you say, this is my boyfriend,
obviously it's a lot more amplified for her
because as soon as she says, this is my boyfriend,
it's on every news publication in the world
and it's being joked about by every late night talk show host.
But you can relate to it.
When you are seeing someone at the start,
you often don't want to let anybody know about it
so it can just be your thing
and you don't have to define it to other people, right?
You want to live in the love bubble.
That's what I call it.
It's a love bubble where there's no extra pressure,
there's no outside distraction
and you don't have to chat to anyone about it.
You just live in the moment.
And it's fun.
Yeah.
Like you're sneaking around but you're not actually doing anything wrong. it. You just live in the moment. And it's fun. Yeah. Like you're sneaking around
but you're not actually
doing anything wrong.
Yes.
You know?
The best kind of sneaking around.
And you're like,
where should we go?
Where should we catch up
where no one knows us?
You know?
Fun.
Yeah.
I thought we could talk
to people this afternoon
who have been
in secret relationships
and they could tell us
why they were in a secret,
why did you keep your relationship a secret?
There'd be so many different reasons.
There's so many different reasons.
I'm thinking people who are dating someone they shouldn't be dating
or dating someone that their friends or family disapprove of
or something like that, you know?
Have you ever been in a secret relationship?
My wife, Lucy, and I kept our relationship on the DL for a wee while.
Yeah, right.
Just so we didn't have to, because we had a lot of mutual friends.
Yeah.
And we just didn't want to.
Want the extra pressure.
No, we just kind of wanted to keep it to ourself for a bit.
Fair enough.
It was fun.
Yeah.
Like it was, it added like a real kind of like, I don't know, spark to it.
Spicy element.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about you?
Yeah.
I kept a lot of my relationships secret from my family in the fear of being judged and disowned.
For religious reasons?
Yeah.
We laughed, but it was quite a horrible time in my life.
Which will be the case for a lot of people as well.
But that technically secret relationship.
Yeah, absolutely.
That falls under the...
Different types.
That falls under the...
It does.
...worried they wouldn't approve of the relationship category.
Exactly, it does.
Brian Clint.
Kim Kardashian has a secret boyfriend,
so we're asking you,
do you have a secret boyfriend or girlfriend or anything?
Have you got a secret relationship that nobody knows about?
And why?
Yeah, why did you give it a secret?
What's the reason?
Was it just for fun?
There's so many good texts coming through on this.
Someone said, two girls in a football team.
There's a bit of an age gap.
It's a secret to everyone.
Made games and training fun being secret homos.
That would make it fun.
Someone said, I slept with a guy who worked
with my dad for several years.
Told dad years later
he wasn't angry, just disappointed.
Lol.
Someone else said, I dated my
ex-partner for three and a half years.
His family didn't know about us because
he was Filipino and I was a Kiwi. years. His family didn't know about us because he was Filipino
and I was a Kiwi.
He said his family wouldn't approve.
Eventually we broke up because I wanted to progress
the relationship, but he still wouldn't tell his family.
That's sad.
After three and a half years.
That's real sad.
You guys would have so much history together
over three and a half years.
But eventually, you know, you've got to move on.
No, that's what I'm saying.
If it doesn't go anywhere.
He wouldn't even break the family thing for that after three and a half years.
That's hard.
That's a hard one.
Our relationship is a secret as there is a 17-year age difference
and we're both involved in the same sport.
Ooh.
Ooh.
What's the sport?
That might be the one about the football team.
It could be football, yeah.
Yeah.
Can we get some details?
Yeah.
I need more.
Are you bloody... Are they the coach
and you're a player?
What's the deal?
Let's talk to a caller who wants to be anonymous
and that's always fine on this show. Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous. Hi.
Tell us, are you in a secret relationship
right now or is this from your past?
It's from my past, but it's still recent.
Okay.
Yeah, tell us the details.
So we were secretly seeing one another for nine years
until I fell pregnant and my daughter is now seven months old.
Wow.
So why for nine years did you guys keep your relationship a secret?
Because he is married. They're in an open marriage.
Okay.
They can't separate or divorce because I've got two kids.
And they're in an open marriage because she's gay.
And being gay is not accepted within her family.
Wow. God, this is complicated.
So she has a quote-unquote husband, but she is gay.
And he knows that.
But it's just to keep up appearances for her family
and so that they can have kids.
Correct.
Oh, that's so hard for him.
They've been married for 20 years.
Oh, my God.
They've got a 13 year old boy and
a 9 year old girl. So did
she know about you, Anonymous?
No.
Oh, right. But the relationship
was open?
Yeah, the relationship was open. Was it like, don't ask, don't tell?
Yeah, he
well, the rule was that they were
supposed to tell one another when they were seeing each other.
Okay. But he couldn't tell her because it had just gone on for too long.
And did you have to separate because you got pregnant?
Well, she found out.
But she's gay.
Like what?
Yeah.
But she, oh God.
That he's fathered another child.
Right.
So they've now hidden our daughter from their children.
I imagine in open marriage there's a don't get anyone else pregnant rule.
Yeah.
So she found out when she opened his phone and it opened up to my text messages
talking about our daughter and she saw pictures.
Anonymous.
This is so complicated.
Can I ask, because I think it's horrible for both of them.
She obviously doesn't feel like she will be accepted for being exactly who she is,
so she's had to hide it from her family,
so much so that she's married a man and had children with a man,
even though she's gay.
Even though she's gay.
But then he's also now stuck in this situation
where he's kind of trapped.
It's not very fair.
How did he feel, you know, about the whole thing?
So it took a toll on him mentally when I fell pregnant,
not being able to,
because we had been seeing each other for so long.
He, you know, reached that point where he couldn't tell her
because he should have done so from the beginning,
that he ended up having to go to a mental health retreat.
Oh, my God, anonymous.
This is horrible.
Does he have a relationship at all with you and his daughter?
Yes, he does.
Oh, good.
Okay, that's good.
I mean, we're talking about how stuck both of them are.
Do you feel a bit stuck as well because you're in this?
I do because on one hand, I feel like I'm a single
parent. And my past, I knew that I had
half brothers, but I didn't meet them until
20 years ago. So I kind of
feel like it would be the same for her. You know that you've got these siblings, but you
may not be able to meet them until you're
older, that sort of thing.
And it's hard for you because you know that there's other siblings to your daughter.
It makes it really hard for you.
It's going to work out, Anonymous.
I know it feels like, to me, that it all has to come to a head and that maybe it started
to come to a head.
I'm glad it's come out with her.
Correct. We're no longer like the mushrooms it's come out. Yes, correct.
We're no longer like the mushrooms in the dark anymore. Yes, correct.
But it just kind of started.
And it might be rough for a bit, but it's going to be good in the end.
Honestly, though, Anonymous, if it's been going on for this long,
I feel like you need to move on with your life as well
and you need to have a partner that, you know,
you can actually tell people and put you first and your daughter.
Like it's just.
100%.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Appreciate it, Anonymous.
Good luck.
It's a lot.
Wow.
That's so much to wrap your head around.
Yeah.
So much.
Nine years.
Makes Kim Kardashian's secret boyfriend sound a little bit silly, doesn't it?
Yeah, that storyline in the Kardashians, lame.
Brian Clint.
ZM, Brian Clint, you're on ZM.
That's Jack Harlow on ZM.
And now it's time for Friday Oki, where?
On ZM.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Brian Clint's
Friday Oki.
Yay!
The hardest...
What's going on?
I feel like I'm in Ibiza.
It's better.
Alright, this is Friday Oki.
It's a karaoke competition.
It's not better around the bush.
No.
We do our best to sing songs each week.
We have a professional do the doers magic, make them sound as good as possible.
And then you guys listening to this decide who did the best Friday Okie of the week.
Correct.
Last weekend for the long weekend, we ran a competition on ZM's Instagram to find out who was ZM's music monarch.
Yeah, the reigning queen of ZM's playlist.
Yes, turns out it was Taylor Swift.
So today we're going to sing this Taylor Swift song.
I don't know why we keep picking Taylor Swift songs
because we've never done a good job at any of them.
She's so much better at singing than you realise. She's
an incredible singer.
I haven't
got anxiety like
this about Friday Oaky in a long time
and I really regretted
my choice as soon as we started doing it
and I was like, this is going to be horrible.
We haven't heard our own performances
but producer Claudia has.
Claude, if you had to sum them up in a word,
what would you say about our Friday Oki performances this week?
One word to sum them up.
Wow.
Oh, no.
Fair enough.
Should we just do it?
Should we just do this thing?
Oh, God.
I feel like it's going to be another driver's license.
You're going to go first, and then I'll play mine.
Okay.
Here's Breeze Fridayoke.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
Because she doesn't get your humour like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night Get your humor like I do.
I'm in the room.
It's a typical Tuesday night.
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like.
And she'll never know your story like I do.
It's all right so far.
Not bad.
But she wears short skirts.
I wear t-shirts. She's sheer sheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands
You've been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me.
You belong with me.
Oh, I'm happy with that.
I'm happy.
I think you dodged a bullet.
I dodged a big bullet.
I reckon.
Can I give a shout out to Sam, our audio engineer?
Thank you, mate.
I owe you a beer.
Whatever filter he put over your performance.
Oh, excuse me.
That was all me.
You just thanked him for making it sound good.
Nah, well, I mean.
I'm just saying, I hope he worked the same magic on mine.
Okay, well, we're about to find out, aren't we?
You have to compare.
We're not asking you to compare us to Taylor Swift.
No, no, no.
We're asking you to compare us to each other.
Exactly.
So to do that, you have to hear my Taylor Swift.
All right, here we go.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset.
She's going off about something that you said.
Because she doesn't get your humour like I do.
I'm in the room, It's a typical Tuesday night. I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't
like and she'll never know your story like I do. But she wears short skirts. I wear t-shirts.
She's chair captain and I'm on the bleachers dreaming about the day when you wake up
and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time if you could see that i'm
the one that understands you baby you're all alone so why can't you see you belong with me You belong with me
Who knew you were American?
Who knew?
Who knew?
Who knew?
Hey, I feel like we both dodged a bullet.
I reckon that was better than I expected.
Mine was definitely better than I expected.
We're looking for five people to call through on 0800-DIAL-ZM
and rate our Taylor Swifts against each other.
Okay, don't compare us to the Queen.
Not Taylor Swift.
We're not trying to be Taylor Swift.
Compare Taylor Clint to Taylor Brie.
Yes.
That's what we want you to do this afternoon.
Which Swifty camp are you in this afternoon?
We want to hear your feedback.
0800-DIAL-ZM.
We need five people on the phones.
Bree and Clint.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Bree and Clint's Friday Hokies.
You just heard our Taylor Slifts.
If you missed them, Bree sounded like this.
If you can see that Bree sounded like this.
That was a harmony I tried.
Yeah, nice.
And mine sounded like this. You had to pick my worst bit.
Yeah, same.
Someone texted and they said,
you can't polish a turd and call it a trophy.
But you guys sure do try.
And we'll roll it in glitter.
We've asked five people to call through and pick the winner of Friday Okie this week,
as we do every Friday.
And Amy's called up.
Hi, Amy.
G'day, Amy.
Oh, hello.
Did that make you Friday, Amy?
Um, yes.
It was pretty up there on things other than work.
Well, that's not a good comparison.
Yeah, it was almost as good as work.
It was almost as good.
No, it was pretty good.
It was pretty up there.
Amy, who are you going to give it to, me or Brie?
Brie, I'm sorry, but unfortunately, you are not the winner.
Oh, that's okay, Amy.
In my eyes.
Only because I feel like we lost your voice in there
and I could only hear the music.
Oh, you feel like I didn't go hard enough.
Yeah, okay, okay.
I didn't go hard enough.
Good feedback.
I'm going to take the vote and run with it.
Thank you, Amy.
We're going to go to Tim.
Kia ora, Tim.
G'day, Tim.
Hi, Clint.
How are you?
I'm good, Tim. How are you going? Not too bad. Kia ora, Tim. G'day, Tim. Hi, Clint. How are you? I'm good, Tim.
How are you going?
Not too bad.
Tell us, Tim, what's your feedback this week, mate?
You nailed it, Lee.
It was good.
Oh, appreciate that, Tim.
Did you like it?
It was better last week's song, anyway.
I like that feedback.
What was last week?
What did we do last week?
I try and block them out after we finish them.
Claudia, what was last week's song?
Can't even remember.
Was it Rita Ora?
Yes, it was Rita Ora.
It was Rita Ora, yeah.
Thank you, Tim.
I'll take that vote.
We appreciate it.
One all.
Let's go to Angus.
Kia ora, Angus.
Hi, Angus.
Kia ora.
Kia ora.
I reckon, you know, I completely disagree with Amy, you know.
Like, I reckon Bree, you'll want it for sure, you know.
Did I send it, Angus?
Yeah, yeah, you hit them high notes, you know.
You need a little bit of work, but, you know, you'll get there, buddy.
I don't reckon I'll ever get up to those notes, Angus,
so I accept your vote.
I understand.
You know what my secret is, Angus?
I give myself a nipple cripple and it just goes...
Like, straight up there. Thank you, Angus. I give myself a nipple cripple and it just goes like straight up there.
Thank you,
Angus, mate. Appreciate that. Have a great week, you man.
2-1 to Bree. Let's go to Aidy.
Hi, Aidy. Hi, mate.
Hey, guys. What are your thoughts this week
on Friday Oki?
It was very close.
It was a close one. Yeah, I agree.
I think it was close.
Who are you giving it to?
Unfortunately, Bree, it has to go to close.
We're going to a tiebreaker.
It's a tiebreaker.
We're going to a tiebreaker.
Thank you, Andy.
We appreciate it.
Jacob's here.
Hi, Jacob.
G'day, Jacob.
How are we going, guys?
Good, thank you.
You have the power, the deciding vote, Jacob.
You get to pick who wins Friday Oki this week.
When you're ready,
tell us who it is.
So there's only one clear winner
because I think the other one was pitiful.
And this week, it's got to go to Bree.
Yes! And I'm the one who understands You've been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me
Yep, my nipples are red raw now, Jacob.
But I'll take the win.
For what it's worth, Jacob, I...
I know that your nipples are red.
I agree with you.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Fair enough, Jacob.
I'll shut up. I'll shut up.
I'll shut up.
I think Clint was just a bit too flat in his singing.
He just needs to change up his tone and he'll get there next time.
Good advice.
I'll try and take that on board.
I told you what I do.
Yeah.
The nipples.
Yeah, but you don't have any, so...
No, I tried squeezing my testicles really hard.
Yeah.
See, I mean, just maybe squeeze them a bit harder.
Bree and Clint.
It is almost half past five on a Friday.
It's time for Birthday Banger.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Here we go, Birthday Banger, to get you home on a Friday.
This is where you can call us up,
and we figure out what song was number one
when you turned 16
and then we'll play our favourite one
out of these three strapping young lads.
Let's go to Sandy first.
G'day, Sandy.
Hi, Sandy.
Not a lad.
Hi, Jean.
How are you?
Definitely not a lad.
You're a strapping young lad, Sandy?
Strapping young lady.
Sandy, have you had a good week?
I have.
It's been action-packed, but yeah, it's Friday evening, so good to go.
Good to get it on a Friday.
Sandy, what's your birthday, my friend?
It's 14th of May, 1987.
Right, Sandy, let's give it a whirl.
I've lost my robot sound effect, so please just bear with me.
You go.
You have to do it manually.
You were 16 in 2003.
I'm a scat man.
You were 16 in 2003, Sandy, and here's your birthday banger.
No, Claudia, now you've copied over the song.
Sorry, Sandy, the wheels are off here.
We've had three beers each.
We're not meant to drink and radio.
Here it is, Sandy.
Sean Paul.
Oh, Sandy.
Sean Abar, what do you reckon?
Do you like it?
Yeah, I like it.
Yes, I'll bang her.
Oh, mate, I love it.
All right, say there you strapping young lad.
We've got to go to Arik.
G'day, Arik.
G'day, Arik.
Hi, how's it going, guys?
Good, thanks.
Arik, I heard it's your bloody birthday.
Yeah, it actually is. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thanks, mate, thanks. Arik, I heard it's your bloody birthday. Yeah, it actually is.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Thanks, mate.
Thanks.
Birthday on a Friday.
How old are you turning?
28.
Oh, best year of your life, Arik.
I'm telling you.
It is such a great year.
Oh.
Should be anyway.
Yeah, best decade.
Yeah, for sure.
Mate, don't waste it.
Don't you waste this year because it's a bloody good one.
That means you were 16 in 2011.
And on this day in 2011, this was number one.
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
Craig David.
Why was Craig David back at number one in 2011?
Do we know what made at number one in 2011? Yeah, that's right. Do we know what made him number one in 2011?
That song's from the 2000s.
That's a good point.
We're out.
Yeah.
Something must have happened.
Something must have went wrong.
Maybe I'll check that.
That's definitely Craig David.
Wait there, Arik, on your birthday.
We're going to go to Debbie. Kia ora, Debbie. Hello, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's definitely Craig David. Wait there, Arik, on your birthday. We're going to go to Debbie.
Kia ora, Debbie.
Hello, Debbie.
Hello, how are you?
Debbie, it's a bit of a shit show here at the moment, Debbie.
She's a schmuzzle.
This is a right old schmuzzle.
But we're glad you're here, Debbie,
and we're keen to do your birthday banger.
How long have you been wanting to know what yours is?
About four or five years.
Mate, oh, I'm glad you're here then.
She's a day one.
Have you got a good feeling?
Because I've got a good feeling.
No, I think I'm a little bit old for this.
But anyway, let's give it a bash.
Debbie, what's your birthday?
10468.
All right, that means you were 16 in 1984.
And Debbie, this is your birthday banger.
Incredible birthday banger.
Oh, Debbie, you wouldn't read about it.
You get the Pātea Māori Club.
And poie.
You got a great one.
You love it, Debbie?
Yep. Yeah You love it, Debbie? Yep.
Yeah, love it.
I love it too and I'm voting for it.
Me too.
Debbie, you've won Birthday Banger, my friend.
You've waited this long and you've taken it out.
Congratulations, Debs.
Awesome, thank you.
No worries.
See you, guys. No worries. See you, Debbie.
Bree and Clint.
Is that in Bree and Clint?
From 1984, the winner of Birthday Banger today for Debbie from the Pātea Māori Club is Poie.
This text message is so good.
It says, the joy that this song has brought me today is amazing.
What a banger.
Such a great song.
Just gives you good vibes all round.
We need to address the elephant in the room.
And because Arik, it was his birthday today and there's been a bit of a
mix up because we said that
his birthday banger was Craig David
Walking Away, which it wasn't.
That was from like the early
2000s.
We've redone the math
on it and we have his real
birthday banger so hopefully he's still listening.
Arik, if you're listening,
this is actually your birthday banger, so hopefully he's still listening. Arik, if you're listening, this is actually your birthday banger.
Just as good.
Major banger.
Still wouldn't have beat Party or Māori Club for me,
so it doesn't change anything.
It wouldn't have, but...
But it is a great song.
Yeah, great song.
And good to know what your actual birthday banger is.
Please welcome to the show our very special
guest this afternoon. It's Chris Parker.
Yahoo! Jazz hands.
Oh, thunderous applause.
Rapturous applause.
We brought that audience in for you.
Very mature claps. They all sound
old. Yeah, this is... They sound like
mature hands. I think it's... Was that
theatre, that beautiful theatre in Christchurch that you played
last year? James... Oh, the Isaac. Isaac Theatre Royal. That's a live recording from the Isaac Theatre Royal. I think it's... Was that theatre, that beautiful theatre in Christchurch that you played last year? James, oh, the Isaac.
Isaac Theatre Royal.
That's a live recording from the Isaac Theatre Royal.
I love performing in these sort of like very respected venues
that like, you know, opera stars or whatever,
and then I'm coming out being like,
bums, bums, wheeze, wheeze,
got his cheese and just like making them laugh.
I love the irony.
I saw King Lear here last week.
I saw Ian McKellen.
And now this. And now this.
And now Chris.
You're going on tour around the country with your Lots of Love tour.
Yeah, I've been on tours.
It's been a ripper.
I've loved it.
I've been in Wellington.
You already started.
Started in Tauranga.
Yeah.
And now I've got a little old city called Auckland.
Hamilton, Parmy and New Plymouth left.
You're fully sold out of Auckland though.
I've got, I added an extra show.
Did you do an extra one?
Yeah,
on this Sunday.
Oh my God,
you're like Beyonce.
Honestly?
Have to add extra shows in.
It's so crazy.
It's such a big venue.
I couldn't believe,
I felt sick when we booked it,
but you're in
Kitty Takanoa Theatre.
it's 2018.
Wow!
And you had to put on
another show!
Oh my God.
I know.
It's wild,
but I love it.
If that's not marketing.
The Instagram audience
is turning up,
they're sick of being
on their phones
and they're ready to laugh IRL.
If someone's coming to a Chris Parker, though,
as their first experience of stand-up comedy,
they're getting a bit of a skewed experience
of what stand-up is.
Do you reckon?
Yeah, because I've been to one of your shows.
I went to the last one you did at the Q Theatre.
And it is just utter chaos.
A Chris Parker show.
Have you seen Chris Parker live?
I've seen Chris Parker many times and I remember messaging
you after the last time I saw you
being like, do you just lose
like 15 kilos when you're on
tour? Because you are running up and down
the stage. You're jumping. Yeah, I just
love the attention. I just go
hog wild out there.
I'm a barocca and away I go.
I was watching your Instagram
story today. Are you moving house?
Is that why you're cleaning out your pantries?
I've been in this flat for like seven years.
Is this the flat that Brindley Stent used to live in with you?
It's my lockdown flat, which is, you know,
you put a lot of trauma on those walls
and it's so wild to be moving out of there.
Yeah.
And just finding like,
because it's one of those flats that was set up when I moved in
and they just inherent all this crap.
You and your husband are looking for a house together, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then the next chapter will be, imagine that.
We're going to move in with some 18-year-olds.
Just like kick it up.
Back in the middle of Cairo.
Hopefully this is the next chapter of my life.
Are you and your husband finally going to live alone together?
I think so, yeah.
And you really get to know each other.
You've never lived alone together before?
No.
And you're married.
And we are married. But that's just a millennial nightmare. That's what I was going to yeah. And you really get to know each other. You've never lived alone together before. No. And you're married. And we are married.
But that's just a millennial nightmare.
That's what I was going to say.
Yeah, it's like we stayed at a hotel the night of our wedding,
but then we were in the flat the very next day.
And it was like humbling.
You've spent one night alone your whole relationship.
And then it's like, no, I mean, we've gone on trips and like, you know,
flatmates will go to the supermarket and then we'll have sex then.
You know, it's like there are opportunities, you know, for intimacy, you know,
quietness, a sense of just us as a couple.
But, you know, it's a nightmare.
I heard that you're thinking of getting a dog next, like the next step.
That's the big one for me, I think.
And there's a particular type of dog.
Well, you know, because there's a social responsibility to get,
like, a retired greyhound.
And I know it's noble.
It's the best thing that you can do.
But they're such sad dogs.
They're so cute though.
I want a fun one for you.
I want a little like.
I want one that like runs on a wheel.
That's got no baggage.
Well, ideally it's a handbag.
You know, one that's got like a handle on the back.
Like a designer poodle.
That's what I want.
I know it's bad.
I probably will go into SPC.
I'll do something worthy because I care
what people think about me. I want to be a good person.
And you don't want to be cancelled. Exactly.
I can imagine you're at the SPCA and you're leaving with
a brand new dash and you're like, they just happened
to have one. I'm going to the SPCA like a bargain.
Is there something designer on the bottom here?
What have you got?
What have you got on the bottom there? There must be a poodle
lying around. There must be something.
So your extra shows for your show,
your Auckland show,
is that this weekend?
Yeah, this Sunday.
This Sunday.
Yeah.
And so there's still tickets available for that.
There's still tickets available for that one,
but it's not embarrassingly quiet.
So if you do come along,
don't be like,
oh my God,
I'm the only one there.
Like you're so desperately trying to sell tickets.
It's sold well,
but there are seats.
A few seats.
If you want to come along,
then absolutely, this would be the chance to do it. But no pressure. But no pressure. All good if not, all good if not, but if if you want to come along then absolutely
this would be the chance
but no pressure
but no pressure
like all good if not
all good if not
but if you did want to come along
I would love that
I also brought a treat for you
Clint
because I know that you're into
my stories about my potato
at the moment
oh my god
no I hate this potato so much
so I've been on Instagram
going through my pantry
I found a potato
that honestly
I never even remembered buying
this was at the bottom of my pantry,
and I could not believe...
Here it is.
What is wrong with it?
It's grown these vines or maybe fingers,
because I can feel bones in there.
Tentacles, I would call them.
Oh, my God.
I can't eat it.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Does it actually give you the ick?
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He hates old fruit and vegetables.
It looks like an emo friend.
It does, eh?
It's so long.
Where are you?
No one understands me.
There's the potato coming to the live show?
Yeah, I reckon.
You can Google Chris Parker.
Lots of love to see the man live.
Thanks, Chris.
Thanks for having me.
Thanks, potato.
Look at that sad little potato.
Bree and Clint.
I saw this opinion piece on the Herald today,
and I found the title quite intriguing.
So it was entitled,
Five Relationship Rules to Ignore If You Want to Stay Together.
Yeah, like old stuffy rules that can get in the bin kind of thing.
Yeah, kind of.
Yeah.
Should we go through them and see what we think?
Let's go through them really quick.
The first one, it says, go out to dinner on your own a few times a month.
No, I disagree with that.
No.
You shouldn't go out to dinner.
No, you can.
That's fine.
Yeah.
But you don't need to.
A few times a month? No. A few times a month. Who can afford to go out to dinner a few times a can. That's fine. Yeah. But you don't need to. A few times a month, no.
A few times a month.
Who can afford to go out to dinner a few times a month?
Yeah, it's quite a lot, isn't it?
But I think that hinges on like you should have alone time with your partner.
If you want to treat your night out, especially if you've got kids, if you want to treat your
night out as a dinner with friends, do that.
That's fine.
Yeah.
They're still doing something together.
You don't, if you've been in a relationship for ages, sometimes you don't have anything to talk about
at the dinner table.
I mean,
you're not wrong.
And don't put that kind of pressure
on your relationship.
Yeah.
Put a buffer in there.
Get a single friend along
so you guys can play
on their Tinder account.
Yeah,
I'd have to agree.
Cool,
I agree.
The next one they said
is socialize together.
What does that mean?
It means like these are,
so rules to ignore. So I think it's kind of saying that you should always socialize together. What does that mean? It means like these are rules to ignore.
So I think it's kind of saying that you should always socialize together,
which I think that's so wrong.
I disagree.
It's so wrong.
I think you spend, if you're in a relationship,
a lot of the time you spend most of your time together.
So you should go out and do your own thing every now and then.
Go out and be your own person.
Go hang out with your friends.
You don't need to be together 24-7.
Sometimes it's nice, yes, to socialise at certain things,
but you're allowed to be apart.
My favourite thing to do is go and watch the All Blacks play.
I can't think of anything my wife would want to do
less than go and watch the All Blacks play.
She would hate it.
So you don't drag her along to that.
You're allowed to go do that on your own.
I agree.
The next one is be honest and share your feelings about everything.
It says that's a non-negotiable, right?
No, it is hard to hear that you really don't like a signature pasta dish that your partner's made.
So why don't you just keep that a secret?
Open lines of communication in a relationship are essential.
You do not have to share everything.
You don't have to comment.
Sometimes you can just read their body language and you go,
okay, yep, that didn't go down well.
You know, like, is it really going to change anything?
Unless it's super important, you know, some things are better left unsaid.
I agree with that.
I like this list.
Yeah, I think it's a really good list.
Another one is shop together.
No, what a stupid idea.
There's always fights at the shops.
Like grocery shopping.
Yes.
No.
No.
You make the list, I'll go and get it.
That's how our relationship survives.
I just think why put both of you through such a punishing task?
Why do both of you have to go through that?
You know, every now and then, fine.
But, yeah, I totally agree.
And the last one is talk about the relationship.
Admittedly, not one of our parents lists,
but a modern cast iron rule.
And we say, no, don't shout at each other.
Say sorry, then go out and make each other laugh.
Right.
So you don't have to sit down and discuss every single part of your relationship.
Every single little thing and it goes around and around.
Some people do.
Some people are very emotionally needy and they need everything validated.
But that would be an exhausting relationship as well.
It's just tiring.
And yes, you do have to give it a certain amount,
but at a certain point,
you kind of just throw your hands in the air and go,
should we just call it a day and go have some fun?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can we just park there and leave it alone?
Let's just go have a laugh and move on.
Can I add one to this list?
You sure can.
These are relationships that we can get rid of,
relationship rules that we can get rid of,
that there's too much pressure on
and they're not necessarily required anymore.
Yes.
You don't have to buy each other a Valentine's Day present.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Valentine's Day is made up.
What about...
The only people who need to buy each other a Valentine's Day are people in a new relationship.
Yeah.
If you're looking for fun, flirty ways to do fun things with each other, that's for
you guys.
But is that setting a precedent though?
That's what Valentine's Day is.
Is that setting a precedent for the whole relationship?
Is that where we're getting it wrong?
What do you mean?
Treat them mean from the start.
Yeah.
Start as you mean to proceed.
You're like, Valentine's Day.
Ugh.
You know?
Yeah.
I reckon back up your own rules.
Figure out what works for you.
Yeah.
And then everyone's rules are going to be different, you know?
Bree and Clint.
That's the end of our show, everybody.
Thanks for joining us for a short week on The Bree and Clint Show.
How good's a short week?
Oh, nothing better than a short week.
The only thing worse is going back to a full week next week.
