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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
He does have a heart, doesn't he?
Mum, this is for you.
This is for you for your birthday, all right?
We hope you have a really nice day and we love you.
I miss you more than ever.
I miss you all more than ever
and I'm gonna
gonna have
a couple of drinks
straight away now
I love you mum
happy birthday
we love and
we love and miss you
and you know what
it's only three o'clock
we're gonna have
a couple of drinks
yeah
crack open the Beezys
woohoo
we're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say
We can go on together with suspicious minds And we can build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So if an old friend I know
Stopped by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
But here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see the tears are real, I'm crying
Yes, I'm crying
We can go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh, let our love survive
I'd dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know I'll never
Lie to you
Mmm, yeah, yeah
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can't you see
What you do with me
When you don't believe a word I say
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you
Too much, baby
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Don't you know I'm caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Don't you know I'm
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Don't you know I'm caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Don't you know I'm caught in a trap
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
An early submission.
Nickelback.
No.
Nickelback.
Bring back Nickelback.
Bring back Nickelback.
You hijacked it yesterday, okay?
We played a shocking Nickelback song.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
who are pro eyes open during kissing.
0800, Dial ZM, where are my eyes open kisses?
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? One day one day that you're actually an eyes open, you're dating an eyes open kisser?
One day you accidentally popped a lid and you're like,
oh, this guy's got his eyes open.
And he has done the whole time.
I think you need to just, you know, accept people for what they like.
Let's see how diverse our listenership is.
0800 dial ZM.
Brie and Clint.
We're in here learning Intimate details About each other
In New Zealand
Like Brie
Not each other
Just me
No you dropped me
In it before too
No we talked about
That before
Brie's an eyes open
Kisser
Not all the time
I reckon it's more
Than 50-50
Because you're very
Pro opening the eyes
So you say it's 50-50
I just don't think
It's that unusual
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
The season.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, everyone looks better
in summer.
Oh, that's true.
You know?
In winter,
you're glowing so much
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
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
She's a slice of heaven.
Ooh.
Hey, hey, hey lot of faith in you.
I'll stick with you, kid, that's the bottom line.
Yeah, we have a lot of fun, don't we?
Heaven has to be with you All the time
Hey beauty
When the moon gets you down
Your bottomless pit
Drag it on the ground
That's when I gotta play the clown
For ya
Black you up baby
Kick my 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
She's a slice of heaven
Her love shines over my horizon Bye. your wings Her love shines over my horizon
She's a slice of heaven
Warm moonlight
over my horizon
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
Traitor.
Traitor.
He's been there.
His name is Ethan
Woodland
Woodland
Ethan Woodland
And he's created
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Oh, no.
Okay, yeah.
Today's theme is...
Good luck, Lauren.
Mysteries.
Mysteries.
Mysteries.
Oh, I don't watch scary films.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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 –
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Whoa!
So who is it at the top?
Is it a...
Great, great grandparent.
Yeah, so it's my son, then it's me, then my mother,
and then her father, and then his father.
Whoa!
Whoa, so it's a great, great grandfather at the top.
Yeah, yeah.
That's amazing.
How old is he?
That's even more impressive.
Yeah.
How old? He's about's even more impressive. Yeah. Yeah. How old?
He's about 97.
Wow.
Still kicking.
And how's he going, like health-wise?
He's in the hospital at the moment,
but he's still fine with the whole COVID thing happening at the moment.
Yeah, right.
Just to be safe.
That's incredibly lucky.
Your family...
He's very lucky.
It's really unique, right?
So that must be something special.
Yeah, even prior to that,
like my great-grandmother,
she only just passed away this year,
so they were both alive this year.
So it's...
Well, Dion, you've obviously got...
You obviously come from healthy stock,
so make sure you're making your KiwiSaver contributions, okay?
You're going to be...
Good idea.
You're going to be alive for ages.
Yeah, I hope so.
You've got a long way to go, Dion.
Kick that thing up to 8%.
Annie's here.
Hi, Annie.
Hi, Annie.
Hi.
We're looking for New Zealand's greatest grandparent.
What have you got for us?
I have a 75-year-old grandmother who is actually a great grandmother to my cousin's kids.
There you go.
Right.
75 and already a great.
She's already a great grandmother.
How old is her great grandchild?
So he turned
one in February. I was hoping he'd be
like 14 and that she was like
only, she had a chance of going great
great very shortly.
The oldest great grandkid of his though
is nine. Okay.
Okay, interesting. Yeah, right.
So she became a great grandmother at like
66 or something. See, that's impressive.
Whoa! Oh, we think it's impressive.
But do you think that they go, oh God, I'm way
too young to be a great grandmother. Yeah, they're like, not yet.
Hayley,
hi. Hi.
Hi. How great is your grandparent?
So my
great-great-grandmother
is 99 years old. Whoa! Great-great-grandmother. Wow. Great-great-grandmother is 99 years old.
Whoa!
Great-great-grandmother.
Wow.
Great-great-grandmother, yeah.
Are you one of the eldest great-great-grandchildren?
Yes, I am, actually, yeah.
And how old are you?
I'm 24.
Oh, have a baby.
Yeah, if I have a baby, we'll have great-great-great-grandchildren.
Do it, Hayley.
You'll get on the news. Yeah, and that's the best reason to have a baby, we'll have great, great, great grandchildren. Do it, Hayley. You'll get on the news.
Yeah, and that's the best reason to have a baby.
Yeah.
I'd have to tell my partner that.
Oh, you've even got a partner.
Clint, do not pressure her.
No, I want to pressure her.
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
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.
She's your great-great-grandmother.
My mum does that to me sometimes.
Thanks, Hayley.
We appreciate the call.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
All right, Birthday Banger for a Thursday.
We'll take three people's birthdays and we'll figure out

I'm calling from Christchurch.
Christchurch.
Oh, lovely.
How good's Christchurch?

What did you guys do to the Super Rugby trophy?
Apparently, it got dropped.
Right.
Okay. That's right. These got dropped. Right, okay.
But that's right.
These things happen.
These things happen.
Let's do your birthday, Banger.
What's your birthday?
All right, hit me.
22nd of July, 1980.
All right, you were 16 in 1996 on the 22nd of July.
And in the mid-90s, this had a number one hit.
If you want to be my lover, you've got to get with my friends.
Oh, yeah, this reeks of Mike.
This is all over you, eh, Mike?
I'm feeling it.
Yeah, he's feeling it.
You got it, Mike.
You got it, Mike.
You got it, Mike.

I mean, it's a pretty iconic song.

Okay, lock it in.
Wait there.
We'll do another one for Serena.
Hi, Serena.

Good evening, guys.
Good evening.
How are you doing, Serena?
Not too bad.
Just had my son's school interviews with the teacher,
and they bloody aced it.
That's awesome.
Good for them.
I used to dread school teacher interviews
because I knew I was walking into an absolute crap storm
because I'd been a handful, and I knew my parents were about to find out.
You know, you always say to your parents,
how was school?
It was fine, it was fine.
And then parent-teacher interviews.
Yeah.
I'm glad yours went well.
Yeah, it did.
But I said to the teacher,
are we talking about the same child?
Yeah, right.
They use up all their good stuff at school, Serena.
Yeah, absolutely.
What's your birthday, mate?
It's the 4th of July, 1983.
All right, you were 16 in 1999 on the 4th of July.
And on that day, this topped the charts.
I'm going to get this right.
This is Westlife.
Yeah.
Yes! Swear it. Westlife. Yeah. Yes!
Swear it.
Westlife.
Remember that one, Serena?
Oh, absolutely.
I know all the lyrics.
I always get Westlife and Boyzone confused.
They're similar.
Yeah, right.
You've got a good birthday banger as well, Serena.
Well done.
Wait there.
We'll get another one on for...
Soraya.
Soraya, hi.
Hi, how are you?
Good, mate.
How are you? I'm good. That'saya, hi. Hi, how are you? Good, mate. How are you?
I'm good.
That's good.
Whereabouts in New Zealand
are you?
Christchurch.
How good's Christchurch?
Another Christchurch.
We're so gutted we can't
come down and see you
guys this Friday like we
planned for Friday
Okie Live.
Well, it's okay.
As nice and sunny it was
down here.
It was beautiful air.
Yeah, and we'll get
there.
As soon as things settle
down, we'll get there.
Eventually.
What's your birthday, Soraya?
22nd of May, 1983.
Right, you were 16 in 1999, also on the 22nd of May.
And in the 90s, this went to number one.
Tell me why.
Ain't nothing but a holiday.
Tell me why. Oh, this is good too.
Soraya, what do you think?
Eh?
That's pretty good, Soraya.
Oh, yeah, that's cool.
That's awesome.
Okay, wait there.
Two iconic boy bands and an iconic girl band today.
Yeah.
All from the 90s.
What are we going to choose?
I really like this Backstreet Boys song.
Me too.
Is the Westlife song more interesting?
It's just pretty slow.
Slow, right?
Yeah, okay.
All right, let's get rid of Westlife.
Okay.
So it's Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls.
The battle of the 90s.
I'm such a Spice Girls fan.
Yeah, I'm going to make it harder for you
and I'm going to vote for the Backstreet Boys.
Okay, I'm locking mine in.
I'm going Backstreet Boys.
Yeah, I'll go the Backstreet Boys.
You agree?
Yeah.
Okay, let's do it.
That means that Soraya, you've just won Birthday Banger.
Congratulations.
Woohoo!
Enjoy this.
Turn it up.
Have a great night in Christchurch.
Thank you very much. See you, Soraya. Cheers. Bree andhoo. Enjoy this. Turn it up. Have a great night in Christchurch. Thank you very much.

You are my fire
The one desire, believe
When I say
I want it
that way
but we
are two
worlds apart
can't reach
to your heart
when
you say
that I want it that way
Am I your fighter?
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want be that way.
Tell me why it ain't nothing but a lie.
Tell me why it ain't nothing but a mistake.
Tell me why I never want to hear you say, I won't ever get away
Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be
Yeah, no matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
You are my fire
The one desire
You are
Don't wanna hear you say Ain't nothing but a holiday
Ain't nothing but a mistake
I don't wanna hear you say
I don't wanna hear you say
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but way. Tell me why. Ain't nothing but a mistake.
Tell me why.
Ain't nothing but a mistake.
Tell me why.
I never want to hear you say.
I want it that way.
Tell me why.
Ain't nothing but a mistake. All together, you ready?
We've had a text, oh, Brian Clutt, this is it, that's Birthday Banger. 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?
The 90s were good.
Good for girl bands, good for boy bands.
We had some amazing choices today.
We had Westlife, the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls.
And we went with the Backstreet Boys, no regrets.
Is this Westlife?
Yeah. Yeah, this waslife? Yeah.
Yeah, this was a good song. This is good too.
Ronan Keating was in Boyzone.
Westlife.
Boyzone.
Brian McFadden was in Westlife.
Brian McFadden was the one that was married to Delta Goodrum.
Yes.
Yeah.
He lived in Australia for a while, eh?
Yeah.
With Delta, yeah. And then he was like, the bad boy.rum. Yes. Yeah. He lived in Australia for a while, eh? Yeah. With Delta, yeah.
And then he was like, the bad boy.
Bad boy Brian.
Yeah.
Brianne Clint.
Hey, here's some interesting facts from a study that's been done
since the last lockdown.
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.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
We got to 102 days.
Oh, we got to 102.
102, sorry.
We did crack the ton.
But yes.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
