Starting point is 00:00:00 yeah hey ben hey what hey what how do you spell your victory hi everybody and welcome to a brian clint podcast intro where fun fact we're recording this before we've even done the show so we don't even know what we don't even know if the show's any good today it's probably going to be one of the best shows you've ever heard i agree with you we can say that because we haven't done it yet i agree i agree that positive. That's positive visualization. This is weird recording it for you. It is, eh? Yeah. Normally we're in like a loose mood because we're on our way out the door and we've just
Starting point is 00:00:30 had our fun and we're like, yolo, bitch. But I mean, we're still in performance mode, arguably, you know? I'm still stage ready. I think my modes are the same. Right. Yeah. Easy breezy beautiful. I just don't get out of one mode.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Yeah. A bit of feedback From the podcast group Because I love checking in with the group It's two way communication now There has been a few requests For more lotto chat I did see the poll though Oh I didn't see the poll
Starting point is 00:00:59 Oh no You want to talk about this Let's go get the results. Oh, shit. Far out. Walk straight into this. Who ever set that poll up? Damn you.
Starting point is 00:01:10 No, thank you. You are an absolute legend. The poll was, what do you want on the podcast intro? Lotto chat or period and poo chat? If those are our two options, this show sucks. Are we ready for the results? I think even if the results... You know, it doesn't matter where they go. They're saying that everyone wants both.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Because people are voting either way. No, that's not how a poll works. Has someone deleted it? Oh, you can't find it. What a waste of a good drum roll. We brought that drummer in and everything. Oh, here it is. Got it.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Come back. Come on back. Sorry, Trevor. Here we go. Trevor, then. The winner. Poo and it is. Got it. Come back. Come on back. Sorry, Trevor. Here we go. Trevor, the winner. Poo and period chat with 60 votes. Hey-oh.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Hey-oh. How many votes for lotto chat? 14. Oh, 40. Oh, 14. That's 13 more than I expected. I couldn't vote. Why not?
Starting point is 00:02:00 I couldn't vote. I don't know why. Maybe because you're an admin. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I can't vote either. I didn't have I don't know why Maybe because you're an admin Yeah maybe Yeah I can't vote either I didn't have any Except to say Did you say it's 50 million this weekend? 50 million
Starting point is 00:02:12 How much money do you think you've wasted Like buying lotto tickets? None That's a good answer Because none of it's been wasted It doesn't get any higher than 50 right? That's it, it has to go Not here in New Zealand
Starting point is 00:02:24 They say this every time They're like it has to go It's never in New Zealand. They say this every time. They're like, it has to go. It's never been this high. We don't go this high. And every time it gets bigger. Anyway, we're not doing any lotto chat because if I do lotto chat, we'll do period and poo chat. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Every time you talk about lotto, I'm going to start talking about periods. You're going to poo on the podcast. And do big shit on the podcast. I'm not anti-periods, by the way. You sound real anti-period. No, I'm not. You know, behind the scenes, every time I'm like, Clint, I'm going to go change my tampon, you're like, gross!
Starting point is 00:02:49 Ew! Disgusting! That's because I'm environmentally conscious and I'm pushing you to get a moon cup. No, I don't want a moon cup. Guys, can I tell you what I found last night? Your moon cup? Was it up there?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Okay, no. Too mech-y. No, cuzzy, no. Why is that so bad? People get, those get lost. Do they? Yeah. I've never tried.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Hey, hey. Sometimes they get stuck to your cervix. This is a slander campaign against the moon cup. So. But I was saying. No, I'm not saying a moon cup does, but. I told you that time I nearly bought a moon cup by accident, eh? Yeah, you did.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I was buying a reusable coffee cup. It just said, it just said reusable cup. Moon cups aren't that big. It was in a cardboard box thing. Oh, that would have been Hello. It was like cylindrical. It was what? It was wearing Hello.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Oh, I don't know. Maybe. Was it pretty in pink? How would Clint know? I don't know. He wanted a pretty in pink coffee cup. It was at one of those fancy refillery stores. One of my friends told me that her flatmate used to boil her moon cup in a pot on the stove.
Starting point is 00:03:49 That's what you're supposed to do. Yeah, doesn't that make sense? In the flat pot. What's she going to do? Keep her own pot? Yes. I would, yeah. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Yes. I don't want you. Hey, now who's grossed out by periods? No, it's not my own period. I'm just saying I don't want to eat where I period. I think that's fair enough. It's not being grossed out anyway. One day she left it on the stove
Starting point is 00:04:13 and it got too chewy and all the water literally boiled out because that's what happened. I used to do that to the potatoes when I was a kid and mum used to have a go at me. And the moon cup ended up being the only thing left. So it's literally just melted and stuck to the bottom of the pot. And it was worth a fortune.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Now that is her pot. Yeah, that's her pot. She needs to buy a new pot. Yeah, and a new moon cup. Or just don't do it in the communal pot. I heard you just wash them in the shower, don't you? No, you've got to sterilise them. Why do I know so much about moon cups?
Starting point is 00:04:44 I don't know. I think you did buy it there. Maybe I will get a moon cup. Is there different sizes? I wonder that. I think so. It's quite empowering, I've heard. Because you take control. And you don't have to pay for Tammies anymore. We shouldn't have to pay for tampons anyway. No, you shouldn't. But this way
Starting point is 00:05:00 you're in charge. Didn't we give away a bunch once? Yeah, we did. See, I'm not anti periods Show me another male radio announcer That facilitated the giveaway Of hundreds of thousands of tampons Because the giving away of tampons
Starting point is 00:05:15 Was definitely your idea Oh shut up woman Woman Let's start this podcast Shall we? Have a good one of it. See ya. Again, an awkward outro for you. I know. Once you're in, you're in.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Kia ora, everybody. 3, 2, 1. Kia ora everybody. Happy, what day is it? I don't remember anymore. Thursday. Is it? It is. I'm back in lockdown mode.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Yeah. But it's Friday tomorrow. Auckland lockdown level 3, day 2, lish go. Lish go. And New Zealand lockdown level 2, day 2, lish go. Not too bad. If you caught the press conference with Bloomfield and Jacinda, they've kind of, it's looking like a cluster at the moment.
Starting point is 00:06:15 13 new cases. All based from those first four. All from the original people. So all ones that they expected. If you missed that press conference. We're all good. Keep doing what we're doing. Block the conspiracy theorists on your Facebook and stay home if you can.
Starting point is 00:06:27 That's all you've got to do, and we're going to get through this thing. Yeah. We're going to do 50k fact of the day at 4 o'clock. So just before 4, you're going to hear the activator. That's got our question on it. If you can answer that question, and it's all about this morning's fact of the day
Starting point is 00:06:39 from Fletchwood and Megan, we'll give you $500 cash thanks to Save My Bacon. Pretty simple. First up on the show, I feel like we should give my mum a call. Of course. Because it's her birthday today. Yes. And she is a big part of this show.
Starting point is 00:06:54 But she said to me, Clint, she goes, I feel like I should get something for my birthday. And I said, what she asked for, I told her she has to ask Ross Boss. Okay, well, let's get Ross Boss on as well then. Okay, she can ask Ross Boss what she wants for her birthday. And we'll see if Ross Boss says yes. It's Mama Di's birthday. It's a big birthday too.
Starting point is 00:07:15 She's 30 and flirty. And she'll be on the show with us next. Bree and Clint. It is a big day today for one of the most special people in my life and she joins us on the phone right now. It's Mama Di. Mama Di, happy birthday. Oh, guys, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I'd probably rather forget about it. No, no, no. We just revealed your age on the radio. I hope that's okay. We just told New Zealand that today you are 30 and flirty. Oh, that soundsirty. Sounds wonderful. Times two. Rihanna, we've been warned about that before.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Sorry, I'm going to be nice. It's your birthday and we wanted to treat you and get you on the show because you are a big part of the show and celebrate your birthday. But you said to me, Mum, the other day there was one thing in particular you wanted us to do on the show. Yes, there is. Do you remember? Just one thing, yes.
Starting point is 00:08:10 What is it? Play Elvis. Play Elvis. Yes, whether Rookbox likes it or not. Wait, who's that? Brianna. That's sacrilegious. Do you remember what I told you you would have to do
Starting point is 00:08:24 if we were to play Elvis on this show? No, I don't remember, but I dread to think you're going to tell me. Well, outside of birthday, bang and mumma die, it's not really up to us what gets played on ZM. So for us to play Elvis for your birthday, which, as you know, we're keen. We're keen. We love you. We want to make your birthday wish come true.
Starting point is 00:08:42 It's your birthday. I mean, we don't want to deny you know, deny you on your birthday. You're going to have to go through Ross Boss, and Ross Boss joins us now on the phone as well. Good afternoon from Lockdown Level 3. It's Ross Boss. Hello, Ross. Good afternoon.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Good afternoon, Mrs. Honigfeld. Hi, Ross. How are you going, mate? I think you're just absolutely fabulous, and you've got to let come on, Ross, play this person. They're green for today. Yeah, he doesn't know what you're talking about. We've had him on hold.
Starting point is 00:09:12 He doesn't know. So just tell Ross what you'd like and why you'd like it. Well, put it this way, Ross. It's my birthday today and you'd absolutely make my year because I haven't been able to see Brianna for six months. And it's really starting
Starting point is 00:09:31 to get to me, Ross. I mean, really, come on. People in New Zealand want to hear Elvis with Mama Di. Ross, Mama Di said that hearing Elvis on ZM would actually be better than seeing Bri. She said she could go a whole year without seeing Brie if she got to hear an Elvis song on ZM this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I think I need a little bit more information. What Elvis song are we talking, Mama Di? Dream. Sorry, what? It's a small line, caught in a trap. I mean, anything, as long as it's salvaged, but not the old, the real old stuff. Here's where we're getting into a little bit of a quarrel.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Suspicious minds and caught in a trap. Oh, those are lines from the same song. It's her birthday. She's two Vino's deep, Ross. Now, Ross, here's the conundrum. You're in charge of a hot, rockin' Top 40 radio station where we play nothing but Ariana Grande. However, at heart, you are a 60-year-old man
Starting point is 00:10:33 who loves Elvis, don't you? Well, I've been to Graceland, Mama Di. I stood over Elvis' grave and felt the power of that man. So, yeah, stuff it. It's a coveted lockdown. Let's play suspicious mind. Whoa! Whoa, wait. So, yeah, stuff with a competitive lockdown. Let's play Suspicious Minds. Whoa! Whoa, wait!
Starting point is 00:10:48 Wait, wait, wait! We weren't expecting this. Ross, we were ready for a battle with you, and we were going to compromise and settle on that remix Elvis, JXL, the Less Conversation song. Oh, my God, I love Suspicious Minds. Are you serious? We're going to play Elvis' Suspicious Minds to start the show today.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yes, don't ask any more questions. Good point. Let's play it. All right, Ross, you can go. Thanks very much. Thank you, Ross. We love you. Happy birthday, Mum and Di.

Starting point is 00:15:50 How's that for a start to the show? Happy birthday, Mum and I. From the whole country. If you just tuned in, no, this is still ZM. It's my mum's birthday today, and the one thing she wanted was a bit of Elvis on the air. We joke the one thing your mum wanted for her birthday was to see you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:10 And that can't happen. No. Which is the situation for a lot of families at the moment who are trapped apart. Yeah. And it can't happen. And if you heard on the phone just before, she got very emotional. So it's nice that we could do something for her on her birthday. It's really hard to not be there
Starting point is 00:16:27 with her today, but that was really nice. So thank you, mate, for that. And thanks, Ross Boss, for letting us do it too. I think that's the nicest thing that he's ever done for us. He does have a heart. So, Mum, I love you very, very much and I hope you have a really nice birthday. All it took was a global
Starting point is 00:16:43 pandemic for him to come to the party. About time Ross. Here's something else that's not Elvis. Brian Clint. Brian Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from
Starting point is 00:17:00 LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. Who's going to do it? You do it. Dean, well she's Aussie so I'll do it. Yeah you do it. She's one of yours. You do here. Oh, oh, oh. Who's going to do it? You do it. Dean. Well, she's Aussie, so I'll do it. Yeah, you do it. She's one of yours. You do it.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Yeah, she's one of ours. Dean, Ruby Rose has spoken out about why she quit the TV series Batwoman. She has spoken out. And I just want to tell you, this is a bit of a shady story that I've got for you, okay? It's a little bit gossipy and it's a little bit me. So basically, she quit the show. As we know, that's definitely what happened. She definitely quit.
Starting point is 00:17:27 She was not fired. She's come out today with this really well-written PR thing where she's like, look, you know, I'd had a surgery and I just didn't feel up to it physically and I was just not really, you know, ready. And she's like, my body wasn't. I've heard that she was just a nightmare to work with. That's what I heard.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I'm sorry. I know. Really? Where did you hear that from, Dean? Or you can't reveal your source? I can never reveal my sources. But this is just what I heard around town that it wasn't going well, that the crew and that were just not really vibing.
Starting point is 00:18:00 This is so gossipy. Which is fine. So you're suggesting, Dean, that yes, she did quit, but maybe it was a case of the bosses were like, hey, maybe you should quit. It'd be a good idea if you quit. Why don't you just quit? Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:18:14 That, yeah. And it was more like, oh, you know, it's not really working for any of us. Right, okay. But she's kind of saying that, yeah, she was recovered. Because it was quite exciting that she had that role, right? Brie told me that she was the first openly gay superhero to be, like they talked about the superhero character.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Yeah, I think so. It was something like that. I had to be cast as one of the main characters and she is an openly gay woman, which was exciting. So the character was gay and she was gay. Yes. Right. Which was exciting.
Starting point is 00:18:39 So a little bit disappointing for, you know, the LGBTQI community, but also exciting. Her replacement is one of the first black women superheroes. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. To get the main role in a show. So good. What a progressive filming company.
Starting point is 00:18:57 That's really good to see. That's cool. She's had a really kind of rocky last, you know, three or four years with her relationship with the Veronicas. Sorry, not both of them, just Jess. But they had a really, you know, toxic relationship and I think she's been through quite a lot in the last couple of years. There you go.
Starting point is 00:19:15 She's off Batman. No, Batwoman, sorry. Batwoman. And that's the scoop from our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. Did you know that last lockdown, New Zealanders consumed 7 million more cups of tea
Starting point is 00:19:30 than they did for the same period of time the year previous? Yeah, I'd believe that. We went up 7 million cups of tea. Good coping mechanism, cup of tea. I do love a cup of tea. You know, it's a good way to get through. Feeling anxious? Cup of tea.
Starting point is 00:19:42 There's so many different types. Feeling worried? Cup of tea. Feeling stressed? Cup of tea.. Feeling anxious? Cup of tea. There's so many different types. Feeling worried? Cup of tea. Feeling stressed? Cup of tea. Feeling randy? Cup of tea. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Maybe. I'm not going to. I don't think I'd usually go for a cup of tea. Your cup of tea's got to be made correctly, and that's why I found this story quite disturbing. Twinings, the famous English brand of tea. You'll know Twinings. I think I've got Twinings at home.
Starting point is 00:20:05 They are the official tea supplier to the royal family. Are they? Yeah. So you know they're important. You know they... Looks good on their resume. You know it's a good tea. Someone has found that on the Twinings official website,
Starting point is 00:20:19 they have said when making a cup of tea, the milk goes in first. No, no, no, no. According to the Twining's American website, it goes milk, then teabag, then hot water. Yuck, no. The reason is when adding milk, pour it into the cup first, then add your tea.
Starting point is 00:20:42 This allows the milk to cool the tea rather than the tea to heat the milk. What? Yeah, I know. It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense to add a tea bag to a cold cup of milk. Yeah. But if twinings are the official tea supplier to the royal family and this is the official way to brew their tea,
Starting point is 00:21:08 that means the queen is having her tea milk first. And look how old she is. Yeah, but do you know that for sure? I'm just joining the dots, mate. I reckon the queen is sitting in Buckingham Palace and she's reading this same article and she's going, hell no. Here's a question for you.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Do you think the queen... Sorry, hell no. Here's a question for you. Do you think Her Royal Highness, Queen Lizzie II, makes her own cups of tea? No. Sometimes. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:21:42 You don't think so? No. She wouldn't lift a finger. You don't think when she goes away to bloody whatever it is, castle, which she stays in in Scotland, it's just her and Philip, you don't think she puts a kettle on and makes a cup of tea? No way. I reckon she would. How do you
Starting point is 00:21:55 think she's lasted this long? She hasn't lifted a finger in her whole life. Nah, nah. But I see old people and they say the key to life is keeping busy. I reckon she knows exactly How to keep a cup of tea How to make a cup of tea And she wants to make it
Starting point is 00:22:09 For herself I do believe that You reckon I don't think so Phillip on the other hand I don't think he's done shit Since the 40s Nah
Starting point is 00:22:15 And Phillip's probably Smoking a joint Out the back Bree and Clint We will be playing A morale boosting request At 4.30 this afternoon If you would like
Starting point is 00:22:24 An early submission. Nickelback. No. Nickelback. Bring back Nickelback. Bring back Nickelback. You hijacked it yesterday, okay? We played a shocking Nickelback song.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Creed. Creed. It can be anything, okay? It can be whatever the people want. And morale boosting request. This is just an early call out for texts on 9696. So any Nickelback songs? No, any songs.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Before then, we need to address your bedroom behaviour. Because I found out something from you. And I have your permission to share this. This is not. Did you? Yeah, you said I could. Did you? No, we planned this.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Did we? I think you planned it. Okay, do I have permission to share your freaky bedroom fact? No. Oh, that leaves me in a bad place, doesn't it? Stop calling it freaky. Where do we go from here? Okay, what I have permission to share your freaky bedroom fact? No. Oh, that leaves me in a bad place, doesn't it? Stop calling it freaky. Where do we go from here? Okay, what if I say, do I have permission to share your totally normal bedroom fact?
Starting point is 00:23:14 Fine. Bree kisses with her eyes open. Not all the time. Bree's an eyes open kisser and she always has been. It's not an all the time thing. Sometimes, yes. I don't think it's a big deal I think it's like pretty normal
Starting point is 00:23:28 Why is everyone being quiet? Just want you to talk about it for a bit more No like I've never even thought about Like no one's ever made a Has anyone ever made a comment? Have they ever made eye contact? No I don't think so So when you're doing a pash
Starting point is 00:23:44 You go in eyes open? Is that the deal? No, no, no, no. You go in eyes closed? Yeah. And then at what point do you usually open your eyes? I don't know. I think I open them every now and then.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Just have a little look around. Yeah. What are you looking for? I don't know. I like to look, I think. Yeah, okay. Like it's pretty boring with your eyes closed. And when you open your eyes
Starting point is 00:24:05 but see you're a person like when you know indoor gardening always lights off oh yeah my lights off boring yeah well this is yep uh yep sure no that's weird it's boring we can deal with my lighting situation tomorrow okay if you like i think we've already talked about it on the show i'm just interested when you open your eyes uh your partner, their eyes are closed, right? Yeah. And they're an eyes closed kisser. Oh, no, they're probably like 50-50, same as me. They're 50-50 as well.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I'd say so. So if you open your eyes, if you guys are having a pash and you open your eyes and her eyes are open, what happens then? You both... No, it's never two eyes. You've never caught each other's eye in the moment. No.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Right. I don't think so. Right. I find it a bit weird. I find it a bit. I think you're wrong. You're so close to that person. I just find it strange that your eyes would be open.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I think it's pretty normal. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. But I'm a lights off guy, so maybe I would find it weird. And I'm open to that You just want to live your life in the dark
Starting point is 00:25:07 I just figure there's nothing to see I like Nothing to see here Yeah I'm not I'm not like kissing people With my eyes open constantly Yeah
Starting point is 00:25:15 But yeah I do From time to time Keep the eyes open Yeah Yeah right Oh 800 dials a dim I want to talk to more eyes open kissers That's what I
Starting point is 00:25:22 That's how I like to talk There'll be heaps of them I'm telling you I don't know There will be heaps That's the reason I want to talk about more eyes open kisses. That's what I'd like to talk. There'll be heaps of them, I'm telling you. I don't know that there will be heaps. That's the reason I want to talk about it. I think there might be a couple out there. But I want to talk to people this afternoon

Also, who I'd like to talk to, are you an eyes closed kisser who found out one day that you're actually an eyes open, you're dating an eyes open kisser?

Starting point is 00:26:22 To like open your eyes Every now and then But you identify As an eyes open Kisser right I don't have a problem With it no Yeah right I think it's that unusual to open your eyes every now and then. But you identify as an eyes-open kisser, right? I don't have a problem with it, no. Yeah, right. I think it's weird. I think who made the rules?
Starting point is 00:26:31 You know, I don't know if I'm – this is an interesting one. Are you just going with the rest of them? Are you a sheep? I'm a sheep, yeah. You're a sheep. I'm just trailblazing it. This is the thing. If you're like me and you're an eyes-close kisser,
Starting point is 00:26:42 you may be dating an eyes-open kisser and not even know it. My wife could be an eyes-open kisser. Heaven forbid. I've never checked. I don't even know who I'm kissing. So we've asked this afternoon, are there any eyes-open kissers listening to the show? And Leanne has called through.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Hi, Leanne. Hi, Leanne. Hi. You and me, we're going in for a snog. I don't know if I'm your type. Am I your type or Bree? Which one are you? Bree's more my kind of girl. Yes, Leanne. You're going in for a snog. I don't know if I'm your type. Am I your type or Bree? Which one are you? Bree's more my kind of girl.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Okay, yeah. Yes, Leanne. Okay, you're going in for a Bree pash. And what status are your eyes? Open or closed? My eyes are open. Yes, Leanne. You're an eyes open kisser.
Starting point is 00:27:17 You like to see what's happening in the world. Well, because I was really short-sighted, so it's the only time you can see. Makes sense. So sometimes you're not even going in for a kiss. You're just getting up close so you can see who you're talking to, and then it ends up being a kiss.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Right, okay. You're kissing a lot of people then, Leanne. Not lately, no. Not at the moment, right? Social distancing. Good idea. Okay, there's one eyes open kisser. Let's get Rob on.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Rob, how do you identify in this situation? Well, I'm an eye-opener, mate. Right. All the way, Rob, I say. I reckon all the way. And the same thing, Clint. Yeah. I think you need to turn the light on, mate,
Starting point is 00:27:52 when you're doing some gardening. No. No. No, Bree's painting me out to be. Yes, yes, yes. I'm not doing it in like a pitch black room. It's not like a bomb shelter. There's a crack in the door, you know?
Starting point is 00:28:02 You've got to leave the light on, mate. Yeah. Oh, don't leave the light on, bro. No, no, no, no, no. Because you don't know what's going a crack in the door. You know? You've got to leave the light on, mate. Oh, don't leave the light on, bro. No, no, no, no. Because you don't know what's going to be in the bedroom if you turn it off. It might not be your wife. Exactly. Oh, I'm pretty sure I know who's going to be in there. Rob, his favourite colour's
Starting point is 00:28:16 beige. Yeah, mine's pink. Good for you, Rob. Are you dating an eyes-open kisser? No, she closes her eyes But the same token When I go to kiss her
Starting point is 00:28:29 Last time she opened her eyes And started laughing at me Yeah, see I reckon eyes-open people Have to date an eyes-closed person It's like magnets You can't have two positively charged magnets They'll repel each other
Starting point is 00:28:40 You guys You actually need the yin to your yang You need an eyes-closing We're rebels We'll do what we want What does your missus say about turning the light off? This isn't about me, Rob.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Keep asking, Rob. This isn't about me. Bring back Rob. Talk to you later. Where's Rob gone? Hi, Nick. Hiya. You're dating an eyes-open kisser, aren't you? I'm married to an eyes-open kisser. You sound disgusted, Nick.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Oh, well, see, I'm an eyes-closed and I didn't find out she was an eyes-open kisser. You sound disgusted, Nick. Oh, well, see, I'm an eyes-closed, and I didn't find out she was an eyes-open until after I'd proposed to her. This is what I'm talking about. How would you know? Because your eyes are closed. Exactly. It was just one of those times, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:15 I thought, oh, I'll just open my eye and have a patient just staring right at me. So technically, Nick, it doesn't really affect you because your eyes are always closed. Yes, yeah, see, I get that, yeah. Except now it's all you can think about when you kiss her, Nick, it doesn't really affect you because your eyes are always closed. Yes, yeah, I get that, yeah. Except now it's all you can think about when you kiss her, isn't it? You're like, her eyes are open. Her eyes are open.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Every time mine are closed, I know her eyes are open. Here's the thing, and I've just realised this. It's a confidence thing. When you know their eyes are closed, you don't have to worry about what you look like. You can be doing whatever you want with your facials. You can go for gold. You can't see that much that close.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. I wouldn't know. You literally can't see hardly anything. Nick, even though you're dating an eyes-open kisser, you guys are going to make it work? You're committed to the relationship? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:55 We've been married six months now. Yeah, good. And Nick, lights on or off? Oh, see, we're 50-50 with that. It depends on the mood. 50-50 is not bad. Depends on the season as well, I imagine. The season. Yeah, exactly. Well, everyone looks better in summer. It depends on the mood. 50-50's not bad. Depends on the season as well, I imagine.
Starting point is 00:30:06 The season. Yeah, exactly. Well, everyone looks better in summer. Oh, that's true. You know? In winter, you're glowing so much
Starting point is 00:30:11 you don't even need the light on. Fair enough. Bree and Clint. Things are interesting in New Zealand again at the moment. There's lots of stress
Starting point is 00:30:19 and tension. Well, I mean, there's some. Some people are feeling it. And we here on the Bree and Clint show like to use music to bring up the mood of the it. And we here on the Brianne Clint Show like to use music to bring up the mood of the nation,
Starting point is 00:30:27 and we call it a morale-boosting request, and we're doing it every day at the moment. We definitely did that yesterday when we played some Nickelback. No, yesterday we ended up playing. We got railroaded into playing Nickelback. Do you even like the Nickelback song that we played yesterday? Yes. Rockstar.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Yes. Right. I mean, there's others that I'd probably rather, which I'm open to playing them today. We've cast the line out. The song is not ours to choose, it's yours and we've said what song do you want to be the morale boosting request this
Starting point is 00:30:55 afternoon? We'd love an impartial judge. So if someone listening right now wants to call 0800DALS at M as a third vote in this competition, that would be really helpful. But let's run, shall we run through today's options?
Starting point is 00:31:08 What have we got? So today on the text machine we've had a text for Nickelback. What a surprise. What a great song. And then we've also had, I mean we had that yesterday, we also had, I mean, we had that yesterday.
Starting point is 00:31:25 We also had this yesterday, another request for Sandstorm. It really gets the pulse racing, you know? It definitely does. Along with that, we've had a text for Nickelback. Every memory of looking out the back door. What a tune! The photo I've spread out on my bedroom door. Is this what the country needs at the moment? We're going to text her a nickel bag. What a tune! Is this what the country needs at the moment?
Starting point is 00:31:53 Oh, this is good. We've had a text in, someone saying, the song you should play to lift the mood of the nation is Dave Dobbin's Slice of Heaven. See, this is good. This is in the mode. That's what we're looking for. I don't mind it. And then someone has texted,
Starting point is 00:32:09 no, we are not playing this one. Now we're talking. We're not playing Nickelback's Something in Your Mouth. I draw the line. It's one of their best lyrical songs. I draw the line. And then there's a classic. This one always comes to me when we do it,
Starting point is 00:32:26 but we have never played it as a morale boosting request. The Killers and Mr. Brightside. So one of those has to be it. One of them has to be the song that we play. And we have an impartial judge here, Samantha. Hi, Samantha. Hi, Sam. Hi, guys.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I vote for Dave Dobbin, Slice of Heaven, this afternoon as the morale-boosting request. Bree, what do you vote for? Any of the Nickelback songs. Which is why we get Samantha on as an impartial judge. Samantha, what song do you think we should play as our morale-boosting request? Gotta go Kiwi and Dave Dobbin.
Starting point is 00:33:06 There's only so much one person can do. See, that's not the result I thought was going to happen, and I'm quietly excited. I feel like a lot of people are going to be disappointed. You did it, Samantha, so thank you very much. Thank you. You've decided our morale
Starting point is 00:33:22 boosting request today. You've boosted the morale of the nation. Another day of lockdown, mate. Don't look so glum. Your nickelback's got another chance tomorrow. Okay, good. Hey, I got a lot of faith in you I'll stick with you, kid, that's the bottom line Yeah, you have a lot of fun, don't you? And living with you is a ball of a time Hey, beauty, when the mood gets you down
Starting point is 00:34:20 You bottom up some fear, dragging on the ground That's when I got a glitter clown for ya Black humor, baby, you kick your boots Howdy, angel Where did you hide your wings? Her love shines over my horizon She's a slice of heaven. Warm moonlight over my horizon.

Starting point is 00:36:54 She's a slice of heaven Her love shines over my horizon She's a slice of heaven Warm moonlight ZM Brantclin That's our morale boosting request today We're doing one every day to try and bring the mood up You know there's a lot of stuff going on at the moment,
Starting point is 00:37:25 but we're trying to break the tension with a bit of music. It's all right, my Nickelbackers. There's still tomorrow. We've still got tomorrow. I really did. Like, I had conceded defeat before we did that. I really did think we were going to be playing a Nickelback song. I feel like you kind of wanted it.
Starting point is 00:37:41 No, no, you're reading the room wrong there. Oh, listen to this. Wow. Fun fact, our impartial. No, no, you're reading the room wrong there, no. Oh, listen to this. Wow. Fun fact, our impartial juror, Samantha, who selected Dave Dobbin just then, is the person who nominated Nickelback Rockstar yesterday. What are you doing
Starting point is 00:37:56 to me, Samantha? She's had her fill. She's like, one's enough. And I agree with you, Samantha. No! No, that's good. Everything in moderation. Except Nickelback. No. No, that's good. Everything in moderation. Oh, listen. Except Nickelback. As long as you know that someday I will.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Someday. Can't deny this is a great song. Brie leaves her eyes open for kissing, but closes them to listen to Nickelback. You'll just take it all in. Brie and Clint. There is a Kiwi who is currently living in Australia, an expat, if you will, who's currently causing a stir online after creating a video where he lists all the reasons why Aussie is better than New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Traitor. Traitor. He's been there. His name is Ethan Woodland Woodland Ethan Woodland And he's created
Starting point is 00:38:50 This video And pretty much Just listed off All these things This is what it sounds like So first of all Australia has Completely government
Starting point is 00:38:57 Subsidised free healthcare Secondly The minimum wage That you tend to get From any sort of a job Is a lot higher And the cost of living Is exactly the same As opposed to what it is in New Zealand petrol prices are a lot cheaper in
Starting point is 00:39:08 New Zealand the average is $2.50 per litre over in Australia it is 95 cents to a dollar and 10 cents any sort of weekend work that you do you get paid double any sort of public holidays it's triple we've got free health care so less off you know stuff. I don't know if all of that's correct, but right, okay. I thought as an expat, an Aussie living in New Zealand, here's my chance to stand up for the Kiwis. Right. Because I know all the things that are better about New Zealand. Right, you've got the opposite perspective.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Because I feel like, you know, there's good things about both. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good, yeah. There's good things about both, but I'm here. I need to stand up for the Kiwis because there's some really good stuff here. Go on then. Tell us what's so good about us. These are the things that I think are better here in New Zealand than Australia. New Zealand's Prime Minister, it's a given.
Starting point is 00:39:58 And the government in general, to be honest. Yeah, I'll agree with you there. Plain and simple. Yeah. I can walk on the beach here without my feet melting. Most beaches, yeah, that's true. Which is nice. Don't go on the black sand ones. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:40:11 true, yeah. The national rugby team. That's just a statistical fact. Yeah. I also think things that are better here in New Zealand than Aussie. Every second animal, bug, or reptile won't kill you. Yeah, that is a big positive.
Starting point is 00:40:29 It is a massive positive. Yeah, in fact, no bug or animal will kill you in New Zealand. Yes. Yeah. It's amazing. It's amazing. Actual real snow. Oh, you don't have that?
Starting point is 00:40:41 Well, we do, but it's real average. Oh, we've got it all over the place. You want some? We'll get you some, yeah. It's amazing. Lord. Just Lord. I mean, speaks for itself.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Well, you guys have got Sia, but I mean, Lord's very good. I love Lord. New Zealand's $2 coin isn't smaller than their $1 coin and makes more sense. Oh, my God. That was so confusing when you go to Australia. And why is the 50 cent so big? And why has it got sharp edges?
Starting point is 00:41:09 And my favourite thing that I think is better about New Zealand than Australia. Clint. Did you just say that? My second, yep. I definitely put that down. And also,
Starting point is 00:41:24 you can buy alcohol at the supermarkets here. Can you not buy alcohol at the supermarkets in... No. Wow. Hence why I will never go back. Yeah. I'm staying here. They are all the reasons why New Zealand is better than Australia.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Don't move to West Auckland or Invercargill because we can't buy alcohol at the supermarket. I'll avoid those places. Other than that, yeah, I agree with you. Kia kaha, Brie. Brie and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. A movie guessing game where you go head to head with Brie to win mobile fuel. It goes up and up every week that she doesn't lose, and it's been going up so much we're now at $550. This is just a, yeah, it's a nervous time for me this time of the week.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Why? I'm not feeling good. Why are you nervous? Because I want to get to $1,000. Yeah, and it only goes up $50 a week. It's very difficult. So you're quite a long way away from $1,000. I'm ages away.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I'm just over half. Yeah, a long time to hold on. Also, though, long time since we gave away any fuel on this game. So, here to try and break your winning streak, and I'm impartial, by the way. I'm totally impartial in this game. You're never impartial. You're never on my side.
Starting point is 00:42:52 We both know. Just admit it. Well, I want Lauren to win some fuel. Hi, Lauren. Hi, Lauren. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, how are you?
Starting point is 00:42:59 How's Hamilton today? Oh, it's good to be in Auckland, so. Well, good point. You can go and do whatever you want. It's not skyping. That's just, you know. That's just a fact. You've got to count your blessings.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah. Okay, here we go. This is our movie guessing game. If you haven't heard it before, I'll read plot lines out. As soon as you think you know the name of that movie, you need to buzz in with your name. Don't wait for me to finish. And the first to get two movie names correct is going to win the game today.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Oh, no. Okay, yeah. Today's theme is... Good luck, Lauren. Mysteries. Mysteries. Mysteries. Oh, I don't watch scary films.
Starting point is 00:43:35 They're not all scary. Okay. Okay, movie number one. Good luck, everybody. Hot on that buzzer if you want to have an answer. A former New York-based writer, Nick, number one. Good luck everybody. Hot on that buzzer if you want to have an answer. A former New York based writer Nick and his glamorous
Starting point is 00:43:50 wife present a portrait of a blissful marriage to the public. However, Lauren Gone Girl I was going to say the same. Gone Girl is correct.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Nice work, Lauren. Lauren's gone one up. It's been a long time since someone went one up in this game. Movie number two. The implausible escape of a brilliant murderess brings a US marshal and his new partner to a remote hospital. Brie. Brie. Salt.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Salt. Salt is incorrect. It's a free guess for Lauren. Oh, can you say it again? I can't. Sorry, I can't repeat anything for the free guess. This is a free guess. Kill Bill.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Kill Bill. Okay. Incorrect. I'll continue. Brings a US marshal and his new partner to a remote hospital. The woman appears to have vanished from a locked room and there are hints of terrible deeds committed... Lauren.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Room. Room. The room. Incorrect. Great. Nah, I don't know. There are hints of terrible deeds committed within the hospital walls. As the investigation deepens,
Starting point is 00:45:30 Teddy realises he will have to confront his own dark fears if he hopes to make it off the... Bree. Bree. Yep. The next word is a massive giveaway. I literally watched... Oh, I've watched this movie. Is it Skull Island?
Starting point is 00:45:56 Skull Island is incorrect. That's a free guess for Lauren. Is it Shasha Island? Oh, that's what I was thinking of. She's done it. Nice work, Lauren. Is it Shasha Island? Oh, that's what I was thinking of. She's done it. Nice work Lauren. Oh no! Congrats mate. Mr. Eeyore's scary
Starting point is 00:46:13 is not my forte. There's no hiding the fact that this is disappointing for Bree because she did want to get to a thousand and it's a long road to get to 550. I don't think I can do it for the rest of the year. I don't think there's enough as many weeks. We'll get Ben to work it out. But in the meantime, let's celebrate.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Lauren, Lauren, you've just won $550 worth of free mobile fuel. Nice work, Lauren. Awesome. Thank you, guys. It's awesome. It'll keep you going for a little while. Yeah, it will. I think that was a really even battle today.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I think it was a good comp. That was tough. It wasn't because I got none. I think it was a good comp. That was tough. Because I got none. I'd show you you got pants. Lauren, you absolutely pants me. Well done, mate. Congratulations. I feel like this next story is going to blow some people's minds.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah. Because we're talking about great, great, great, great grandparents. Whoa, that great. It's a lot of greats. It's a lot of greats. And we're on the hunt today for the greatest grandparent in New Zealand. Yeah. And when we say that, we mean, you know, generations.
Starting point is 00:47:13 How many greats can you add to your grandparents' title? Because there's a grandmother who has just celebrated her 100th birthday. Yeah. Over in North Carolina in the States. And her name's Julia Lee Kelly. And she is a great, great, great grandmother. Three greats. That's right.
Starting point is 00:47:33 So that means she's a grandparent four times over. Let me break it down. She has five children. Yeah. Then she has 30 grandchildren. 30 grandchildren? She has 88 great-grandchildren. God, yep.
Starting point is 00:47:50 49 great-great-grandchildren and one great-great-great-grandchild. Yeah, that does blow my mind. Christmas must be a frickin' nightmare for her. Isn't that insane? There's no way she can buy Christmas presents for all of them. In fact, I would go out and say there's no way she can know all of their names. No.
Starting point is 00:48:12 She can't know all of her grandchildren's names. Did you ever know, like, even your great-grandparents? No, no. All I've ever known is my grandparents. Your grandparents, not your great-grandparents. That's as far as My family got Yeah And I don't know
Starting point is 00:48:26 If I was even a baby When I don't know if I was even Like they were alive When I was alive Right I may have been I may have met them
Starting point is 00:48:32 But no I don't know What about you Did you have a great I remember one And there's a picture of us I probably would have been About three or four Yeah
Starting point is 00:48:41 And my nan's mum Was still alive Yeah So my great grandma. Those are the situations where you know they were like, quick, get a photo. We've got to get a photo of these two together. Right now. She lived till she was 103.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Even the great grandmother's like, yo, get a picture of this shit because I don't know how much longer I'm going to be here. The picture, in the picture I've got coloured popcorn and my mum told me one time she was like to entice you to go see her because you didn't know who she was really. We had to give you like candy. Shit, there's a throwback. How retro. I love coloured popcorn. How retro is coloured popcorn?
Starting point is 00:49:14 How good is it? Does coloured popcorn still exist? Yeah, I saw it at one of the fruit markets the other day. Yeah, right. And I was like, oh, coloured popcorn. And here's another side note. Why do fruit stores always have the best lollies? They always do, yeah. And I was like, oh, colored poppers. And here's another side note. Why do fruit stores always have the best lollies? They always do, yeah. Doesn't make any sense, but they do.
Starting point is 00:49:29 They do. Anyway, back to great-grandparents. So we're talking about a woman in North Carolina who you said is a great-great-great-grandmother. Yeah, three greats. So she became a mother, and then she became a great-grandmother, and then she became – no, no. Great-grandmother, then a great –
Starting point is 00:49:43 Oh, far out. So she's got children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and one great-great-great-grandchild. So she's at the top of a sixth-generation family tree. Yes. That's quite incredible. Insane. They're either an incredibly healthy family
Starting point is 00:49:59 or an incredibly fertile and start-off young family. Well, that's the thing. Someone must have been a teen mom. Someone must have been a teen mom in there. To do the math, she's got 173 descendants. Yeah, that's incredible. That's crazy. I remember my great-grandmother,
Starting point is 00:50:21 she had something like 58 grandchildren or something. You want to start giving your family members a wristband that identifies them. Just so you're not out in a small bar in North Carolina and you end up hooking up with your great-great-grandniece. Why are you thinking about that? I don't know. It's just dangerous. I just think once it's so spread out, you never know.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Clint's like, because I'm so attracted to what I look like, and then if I met someone that was related to me, oh, my God. I couldn't help but be so attracted. I think there might be some truth to it. I think there might be something inside you that goes, why do I find this person so interesting? Oh, because they look like me. No, you know you hear those stories about those people
Starting point is 00:51:02 and like, I've ended up dating my mum. I didn't know that she was my mum and I love her. Are you leading us into another story No, I'm not saying that's what I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I'm just saying I believe that people have this weird thing where they go I don't know why I love you so much. Clint comes into work and he's like
Starting point is 00:51:16 guys, I'm dating myself. There's a plot twist. We're looking for We're looking for New Zealand's greatest grandparent this afternoon. They don't have to get on the phone, but we want to talk to someone who's got a great-great or a great-great-great, right? Yeah, we'll take a great or a great-great or a great-great-great.
Starting point is 00:51:37 0800-DIAL-ZM. We'd love to talk to you. Damn, I'm so attractive. Brian Clint. A woman by the name of Julia Lee Kelly from North Carolina has just celebrated her 100th birthday and she is a great, great, great
Starting point is 00:51:53 grandmother. So impressive. That's crazy. We've been doing all kinds of math and we've figured out that we don't think she could, there must have been someone in every generation who had a kid quite young before 20. Yeah. To make it work because she's 100 and she's the top of a six-generation family tree.
Starting point is 00:52:11 That's insane. So every time there had to be someone having a kid in the teens unless someone came in real hot and had like a real young. It gets more likely because obviously she had five children and then she's got 30 grandchildren, 88 great-grandchildren, 49 great-great-grandchildren, and one great-great-great-grandchild. Maybe we can beat it. Maybe someone in New Zealand has a great-great-great-great-grandmother. Yeah, I want to know.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Maybe there are seven generations still kicking around. We start with Dion. Hi, Dion. Hi, Dion. Hey, how are you guys? Good, thank you. What have you got? So my son is the fifth generation.

Hayley, in nine months, you could be on the cover of the New Zealand Herald with your great, great, great grandmother. Does your great, great grandmother ever ask you about that, Hayley, or no? Not often, but she does have very crazily insightful conversations every now and then, which are all just out there. So sometimes we've got to talk about marriage and babies
Starting point is 00:55:46 and things like that. Yeah. Every now and then she goes, so what one are you? That's good too. Once you get to that age, all the social cues, you don't have to worry about those anymore. You can be as short or as cold as you want. That's fine.

Could I want it that way? We've had a text in. Oh, Brian Clinton, this is it in. That's birthday banger. Just says, how good were the 90s?

Bad boy Brian. Yeah. Brianne Clint. Hey, here's some interesting facts from a study that's been done since the last lockdown.
Starting point is 01:04:35 Okay. So it happened between the two lockdowns, and it aims to figure out what young New Zealanders are doing with their money now. And when I say young, I mean between 18 and 30. So you're talking about in the 99 days that we were out. Yeah, I guess. Out of lockdown.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. We got to 102 days. Oh, we got to 102. 102, sorry. We did crack the ton. But yes.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah. So since the last one, everything's changed. The world has changed. Employment's changed. What are 18 to 30-year-olds doing with their money? YOLO, bitch. We're spending it. Really?
Starting point is 01:05:11 Yeah. I thought we'd be saving. You would think so, right? You'd go, oh, times are tough. I don't know what's going to happen. 42% of people surveyed believe that money is just there to be spent. They're saying live for now and go for it um and 37 said they are living in the moment and not even thinking about the future
Starting point is 01:05:33 at all we're talking about people who were made redundant people who maybe are due to finish university this year and now they're like geez what are my what are my employment options? They've gone, the world might not exist in five years, so why make a five-year plan? Whoa, that is grim. No, but that's the way they're looking at it. That's the way 18 to 30-year-old New Zealanders. What, they're thinking that there'll be no world in five years? I think they're just going, we don't know what's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:05:59 I think they're going, things are changing so fast that I might as well just treat myself. I must be such a conservative, because all I think about is save every penny you can. Me too. Yeah. Me too. I'm a total nerd when it comes to money. Like during lockdown, I read the Barefoot Investor book.
Starting point is 01:06:16 A bit late to the party. It's about as exciting as I got. But here's the thing, Bree. You've already turned 30 and so have I. So maybe we're just outside that bracket. Just below us, everyone's having a great time, living it up, and then you and I up here. When we hit 30, we automatically become responsible.
Starting point is 01:06:37 And boring. So fun. I've got a story about a guy who is from Croatia, and he's one of those guys that has had all types of cosmetic surgery done. He said that his goal in life was to look like a male Bratz doll. Oh, one of those ones. So he's had everything you can possibly think of done. The eyelid lift.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Yeah, he's had a lot. The lip implants. He's spoken out, though, after's had a lot The lip implants He's spoken out though After he had a surgery done Recently Where he actually had Something happen to him afterwards So this was in 2017
Starting point is 01:07:15 He went in for a rhinoplasty A nose job I always find it weird That they call them rhinoplasties Because it makes me think of a rhinoceros who has a giant horn on his nose. So it makes sense. Get your horn sorted out.
Starting point is 01:07:31 The horn isn't the rhino's nose, is it? Anyway, he went in in 2017 to have a rhinoplasty and he came out with the result he wanted. A brat's nose. Which was a smaller nose. But he also came out with, you know, the result he wanted. A Bratz nose. Which was a smaller nose. But he also came out with something that he wasn't expecting.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Mm-hmm. Mm. How do I get around this? He came out with a really upright friend. Oh, his rhino horn. Mm. What, permanently? Well, he woke up
Starting point is 01:08:07 and he's like, oh, my friend is, you know, definitely here and standing upright. And then he couldn't get rid of it. For how long? Three months. Three months with a full
Starting point is 01:08:24 rhino in your pants? Yes. So he was, you know, in a lot of pain and he goes, wasn't fun. He couldn't go anywhere. No. After multiple surgeries. Couldn't go too close to walls. No.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Like literally couldn't go too close to a wall. Well, actually, we don't know how close he could get, do we? Can you imagine like even going out in public? You couldn't. Mm out in public You couldn't You couldn't wear track pants Couldn't wear shorts What could you wear? Couldn't wear a dress it'd end up as a tent
Starting point is 01:08:53 You can't take those down either People are like oh strap it to your leg Uncomfortable You're better off taping it to your tummy You're better off laying it straight up And then put a belt around it Yeah every boy does Because there's a period At high school
Starting point is 01:09:05 Where you just get them Does that happen to you To every single boy You just be sitting there In science class Is that right I thought that was Just like a movie thing
Starting point is 01:09:13 No we can check We can check I'm not alone Producer Ben You've got one of these Rhino horns in your pants Not right now No not right now
Starting point is 01:09:19 But when you were a teenager Yes 100% You just get them Out of nowhere You're like well why Well it's not out of nowhere And the trick is The the trick was then, especially because we were all low riding our pants,
Starting point is 01:09:28 tuck it into your belt. That's the one. Yeah. I always thought that was a bit of a myth. No. That that wouldn't happen. No. What about the dreams thing?
Starting point is 01:09:36 Yeah, that's not a myth either. Where it gets. Yeah, yeah, you don't need to go into details. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a myth. That's a real thing, yeah. And it's more prevalent in teenage boys, but not out of the ordinary for an adult as well.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Why am I saying all of this? So how long or how many times a year? None. None. No, not like that. They're very, very, very rare. Right, right. I don't want to go into personal details.
Starting point is 01:10:00 So you guys have a couple of years where it's uncomfortable, where you can sometimes... I know where this is going. Try getting your period every day. Well, not every day. I was going to say, if you're getting a period every day, you need to see a doctor. I've got problems.
