Hello everybody and welcome to the Brian Clint podcast.
I've got a question for podcasters.
Yeah.
I'm thinking about starting my own sourdough starter.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I can help you out with this.
Have you done it?
So, last lockdown, I was gifted a starter by Jordan, who works here at ZM.
Her and her partner do sourdough.
Such a weird gift.
I know, I know.
Even weirder when you think about the fact that it's a living thing,
like it's alive.
Yeah, I know, yeah.
And you add to it and you feed it.
And once you're going, you just carve a bit off
and then you can give it to someone else.
Took it home that night.
You killed it, didn't you?
No, they're actually quite hard to kill.
But I didn't put it in the fridge straight away
And it just exploded everywhere
Like you know Flubber
Remember the movie Flubber
It just really took on a life of its own
And volcanoed out of the jar
Which freaked me out
But I was able to shave that off
And then put it in the fridge
And then the concept of getting started
The idea of getting started on making sourdough
Was so daunting
That it just sat there
until it actually it actually became a bone of contention in my relationship because lucy goes
when are you going to start making sourdough and i was i said stop pressuring me to make sourdough
she goes just do it just make some sourdough i said i am feeling honestly i'm feeling so much
pressure about this sourdough i don't want it i don't want i'm going to throw it out and you
threw it out and i threw it out and she got angry at me for it You coward
So with that in mind
Are you sure you want to start a sourdough starter?
It does feel like a lot of work
Have you looked at
Because making your own bread
Great idea
Yeah we made bread yesterday at our flat actually
In what?
One of those old school bread makers?
No it was just in the oven
Just bread but not a sourdough
Not a sourdough Have you looked at how much is but not a sourdough? Not a sourdough.
Have you looked at how much is involved with making sourdough?
Yeah, I've looked into it.
I've done some research.
You've got to have the baskets.
It's kind of like a pet.
Yeah.
You have to kind of like, especially in the early stages,
you kind of have to feed it and nurture it and look after it.
In that starter, you've got to feed it once a week to keep it going.
In the dough, you've got to knead it and then do something to it
and rest it and do all this.
So do what you want.
Have you looked at how much it costs to buy a loaf of sourdough?
Yeah, I have.
It's like five bucks.
And people are always like, mass-produced stuff is so shit.
I'm like, yeah, but it's so much easier.
Yeah, but what if you go to a nice bakery?
Like Daily Bread in Auckland? Has anyone been to Daily Bread? Yeah, but it's so much easier. Yeah, but what if you go to a nice bakery? Like Daily Bread in Auckland?
Has anyone been to Daily Bread? Yeah, I love Daily Bread.
Yeah. I mean, you have to queue up
for 45 minutes, but it's not
mass produced. It is a long queue. It's worth it.
Yeah. Yeah, it is good. And you get hipster
points. There's one near our place, actually.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I made it up. But wholesome.
And there's nothing like the feeling of making
your own stuff. So... I mean, you don't cook. And there's nothing like the feeling of making your own stuff.
So.
I mean, you don't cook.
So that's probably why it was very daunting for you.
I may.
Excuse me.
Like, you don't.
Let's be real.
Be honest. No, be honest.
I cooked lunch.
Be honest.
You don't cook.
It was probably a sandwich.
It was a cheese and pickle toasty.
Sandwich.
That is a sandwich
I figured something out
All my meals except for dinner are on bread
That's it
That's not good
Then sourdough would have been a good idea for you to learn too
Well sourdough is one of the healthier breads
Yeah
I mean I'm not a doctor
But I've heard that some people who are gluten intolerant can eat sourdough
Yeah
Because it's got the least gluten in it.
You can say whatever you want.
If before you say, I'm not a doctor, but.
But, I mean, allegedly I heard.
No, I feel like it would be a disaster for me
because yesterday I made an apple and rhubarb pie.
Yum.
And I'm not a baker and I've put the pastry in to blind bake it but i didn't know
what blind baking meant so i just put the pastry in oh you didn't put anything to weigh it down
and it went everywhere and then i and then i but i fixed it because i just got some extra pastry
and then i patched up all the bits that had fallen down you can do the same thing with that as long
as you say i'm not a baker you can say whatever you say, I'm not a baker, you can say whatever you want. Yeah, I'm not a baker.
Hey, the pie turned out pretty well, so.
I'm not a doctor, but I've heard that vaping is good for allergies.
Don't say that stuff on the podcast.
No, neither of those things are true.
Good for your relationship status.
No, no.
What?
You guys.
You didn't say you're not a doctor first, so you're going to court.
Yeah. You're going to you're not a doctor first. So you're going to court. Yeah.
You're going to get taken down by Big Tobacco.
Someone is going to come in here and serve you. Yeah. You know what? It'd be good
if you had a vape and you could just disappear in a pub
of smoke. Oh, now.
Oh, no. The vape police are here.
Where did she go?
Ah, shit.
She's gotten away again.
Oh, well. Oh, well. Do it, make some sourdough
I want to see it and I want to try some
It just seems like so much work
Now I feel pressured
Don't watch the video, the YouTube tutorial that I watched
In fact I'll send it to you, it will terrify you
I'll send it to you but don't watch it
Because it's the one that put me off
It's a living organism
What I know about it is
Expect your first life to be shit
And it's a learning process from there
I think the one I watched
Was showing you how to make perfect sourdough the first time
And it's not friggin easy
These two hipsters who did it over like a four hour period
Clint do you have a special
Outdoor oven or pizza oven or something like that
At your place
I've got a pizza oven
that goes in the barbecue.
Isn't that how people, the best way to do it
is in one of those big...
We're talking about
growing the starter.
Not even at the baking bit yet.
No, this is not even at that bit yet.
But then I thought you were talking about...
Okay.
Do you know what we're talking about? Does she know what we're talking about? Wait, we're talking about... Okay. No, what? Go on. Like, trying it out. Do you know what we're talking about?
Like, trial and error.
Does she know what we're talking about?
Wait, we're talking about vapes, right?
No, we're...
Use your pizza oven.
Makes a real good vape.
Just found a vape effect.
Thought I'd throw it in there.
Oh, my God.
I thought you were vaping.
I thought you were...
He had a pen in his mouth.
I thought he was vaping.
Oh, so did I. I thought I was going to pretend that I was vaping. Why did you have in his mouth. I thought he was vaping. Oh, so did I.
I was going to pretend that I was vaping.
Why did you have to ruin it and tell me it was a sound effect?
No, I thought it was Ben, and he's so heavily medicated at the moment.
I was like, this is commitment to the gag.
You should not be vaping.
That's hardcore, because I do know there's a few vapes lying around this office.
Yeah, how do you know that?
Because I see Alan out there with them all the time,
because the other radio station got like a million of them for free.
We don't endorse vaping, but Ben, let me hit that shit.
Oh, you want another go?
Yeah, let me hit it.
Okay, hold up.
Yum.
What flavour is it?
Weed flavour.
It smells like weed.
Oh, yeah, it's pork and weed.
I always get my weed and pork remember
that time you hit that weed vape at that event and the guy's like hey oh shit don't even tell
you guys about that what brie and i went to this thing and there was a and it's in the early the
romantic early days of vaping and this guy had a vape and i was like he was i was like oh man cool
vape and he goes yeah do you want to have a hit of this i was like yeah yeah yeah i don't that's
how people talk i don't i don't vape but I'm keen for some
And I had some and I was like oh shit
Yeah that's a library creation
And then I was like that tastes strange
And she goes yeah it's a weed vape
And I had to drive home
I'm not a doctor but I don't think that's a good thing to do
No
I'm not a baker but I was quite I'm not a baker, but I was placed.
I'm not a police officer,
but I'm pretty sure
you shouldn't do that.
Who do you reckon
out of us four
would least likely
be a doctor ever?
Anastasia.
No, I disagree.
I think that I'm...
Anastasia's smart.
No, the question wasn't
who's the dumbest.
No, who's the least likely
to be a doctor?
Who's the least likely
and so why?
To become a doctor? Yeah. Okay. okay no the why wasn't part of it i've already given my answer you're gonna have to
write it on a piece of paper your turn yeah we should all write it on a piece of paper so no
one knows who's is who i would have said clint because he's too late in his career already
oh yeah he is quite old yeah nobody's you know he he's, you know what he's doing. He'd be 50 by the time
he was a doctor.
Oh, you're stressing me out.
Let me hit that vape.
You've got to remember.
You've got to remember.
Are you reading a carrot?
Yeah.
Okay.
Just checking.
Well, you know.
Actually, I don't know what I was going to say.
Spit it out.
We're about to start the podcast.
Who?
Oh, no, I was just going to say
if Clint's, like,
it's eight years to become a doctor.
Who's least likely?
Well, Clint didn't even finish broadcasting school.
Ben said Clint.
How is he going to fit eight years?
You're only saying that because I said you.
So I said you, you said me.
Bree?
Well, I know how I went at uni,
so I'd probably have to say me.
Right, one vote for you.
Ben? I said you, remember? Oh, then it's then it's me all right well i'm not a doctor but i think it's time to start the podcast
so here it is oh there's one more time can um memory thanks i'll pass it to you
no i'm passing it to you from my belt. Okay, right. Let me do it again.
Oh, shit.
Strawberry.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm, give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Bree and Clint on?
Bree and Clint are on air
in 5, 4, 3,
2, 1.
G'day everybody. Welcome to the show.
Happy Monday. Brie and Clint. Hi
Brie. G'day mate. How was your lockdown
weekend? Um,
it was good. I'm a homebody so
I probably would have
been doing the same thing. Yeah right, what did you do?
Uh, I um had a nap.
Good.
And had a few drinks.
Yeah, good.
I literally did not take off my tracksuit pants the whole weekend.
Yeah, good.
What did you do?
About the same.
About the same.
A little bit of gardening.
God, how boring is our show going to get?
No.
What?
Oh, because we can't go out and do anything.
So what do you do?
Oh, not much.
I'm going to have to start bringing scandalous stories about my daughter.
Yeah.
You'll never guess where.
Just make stuff up.
And then she literally shat herself.
Try and think of the most interesting thing that happened to you on the weekend.
I'll try and think of the most interesting thing.
Oh.
No, this is really... Oh, yeah, I know what it is.
What is it?
Lucy made gnocchi, and then we made...
Because when you make gnocchi,
you have to take the skin off the potatoes.
You have to de-jacket the potatoes.
We made potato skin chips out of the skins.
Now, that's exciting.
The old you would have found that exciting.
Did you get that off the Nadia Lim thing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't find it as exciting because I've already made that recipe like four times.
It's so good.
It is very good.
That's what our show is going to become.
It's going to become Nadia Lim recipes.
Oh, that's the other most exciting thing that happened.
I watched an Instagram live of Nadia Lim giving a tour of her greenhouse
where she grows all her vegetables.
Stick around, guys, because we'll tell you more exciting stuff like that.
What are good companion vegetables to plant at this time of year?
Nadia will let you know very shortly.
Well, I learned rhubarb available all around in New Zealand.
What a robust, hearty, and delicious vegetable.
Did you actually find that interesting?
Yeah, I'm not going to grow any one, but I did find it interesting.
Hey, today on the show, the 50K Fact of the Day is back.
If you heard the Fact of the Day today, it's a bit raunchy.
Is it?
Oh, yes.
I haven't heard it.
It's definitely more interesting than rhubarb and companion vegetable, Chad.
What's more interesting than that?
If you heard it, I've heard the question that's going to get asked.
Very easy.
If you've heard the fact of the day,
the question we have for you is very easy.
It's going to play at about five to four
and you'll have a chance at $500
thanks to our friends at Save My Bacon.
Next though, on Friday,
right at the end of the show,
at like 10 to seven,
we had the Prime Minister on the show
for a chat.
It was just after she'd announced
that we were staying in level 2 and 3 for 12 days.
She had some interesting advice for New Zealanders around mask use.
So I don't think anybody's really got their head around exactly where you have to
and where you don't wear a mask.
Yeah, when do you and don't you and what level and this and that.
We'll tell you exactly what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said about masks
and I'll tell you what you need to watch out for
if you're going to buy a mask as well.
My mask, had it for three days, failed.
Absolute fail already.
It's got a hole in the middle.
It's mask season, everybody.
If you don't have one, you should get one.
You've got a mask, haven't you?
Yeah, I've got a few, actually.
Oh, where'd you get yours from?
My partner's family members made some for us.
Yeah.
And then some from work.
Yeah.
And just anyone who's offered me one.
I was reading a thing today that said the reusable ones,
you know, the cloth ones that people have got,
you're meant to wash them every day.
Are you?
Yeah, you're meant...
The quote was,
treat your mask like your undies.
Whoa.
And because you're breathing into it
and there's saliva and snot...
I mean, it makes sense.
And food particles going in there
that you should wash it every single day,
which means everybody needs two masks,
which is a lot of masks going from zero to two.
If you look at my underwear drawer,
I need 48 masks
Yeah, exactly right
And some of those masks need to be nine years old
Why are the producers looking at me so weird?
You don't have that many pairs of underwear?
Ben's got three pairs
Okay, I've got more than that now
How many have you got?
Six probably
You have six pairs of underwear
Possibly seven if I looked hard enough
You're lying, you've got six max.
Who are you as a person?
Anastasia, how many undies you got?
Yeah, actually, I was laughing at Brie about that,
but I probably have between 25 and 30.
Yeah, of course you do.
Yeah.
Everyone does.
Different occasions.
You need a couple for, you know.
Ben.
Trust me, I need backup pairs.
Go to Farmer's and buy yourself a three-pack of Rio.
Okay?
Just get moving.
I'll just, I'm going to buy you underwear every gift that I have to get you
for the next 10 years.
That's not a punishment for men, by the way.
That's what we want.
No, I'm saying that's what he needs.
Buy him a mask as well because we had the Prime Minister
on the show on Friday and Brie actually asked her,
she said, do we have to wear masks all the time at the moment?
This is what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Friday.
Outside of Auckland, we're saying if you're going into places
where you might be in close contact with others,
we advise using them.
So if you're on public transport or places where it's hard
and you can't keep your social distancing up.
If you're in Auckland, general rule,
we're just saying when you go outside of the house,
we'd like people to be wearing them.
Whenever you leave the house in Auckland,
you should be wearing a mask.
So if you're going on a walk or if you're, you know,
going to the dairy, you should be wearing a mask.
In the area that I'm in, most people,
I think I'd say 90% are wearing masks.
50-50 where I am.
And it was funny walking on the weekend
and seeing the people that do and the people that don't.
And if you don't have one on, you feel so guilty when you go past someone
that does have one on.
You're like, oh, you're doing better than me.
And then if you do have one on and you go past someone who doesn't have one on,
the sense of superiority that you feel is quite incredible.
Here's my one bit of advice for you because I've got a mask.
My wife bought it for me.
I didn't realise that masks
came in different sizes.
Of course they do. But I didn't think about
that. I didn't think about the fact that
people need different sized masks.
It's like saying... I understood kid
and adult masks but I thought that you and I
would wear the same size mask. But what about like
hat sizes?
See hats are different because they've got the dome
thing on the back. Hence the sizes. Well the mask've got the dome thing on the back.
Hence the sizes.
Yeah, well the mask I got,
it's adjustable on the elastics.
So you can make it tighter, but I can't make it any looser than it is.
And it pulls my ears forward and it looks like
I'm Dobby the house elf.
And it cuts me under the chin so it gives me an instant
mask double chin.
Yeah, it's because you've got that big boxy chin.
So it takes up a lot of the room.
Right, right.
No, I've got it too.
So I'm, well, you can help me there.
I'm about to place my order for a new mask.
Extra large.
Extra large, right.
Double chin width.
Double chin width.
Yeah, right.
Bree and Clint.
One of those stories about people who have like a chance meeting
and they find this person and sparks fly and they're like,
oh my God, we've got a connection here. Yeah, that's called a rom-com. Yeah, yeah, like a chance meeting and they find this person and sparks fly and they're like, oh, my God, we've got a connection here.
Yeah, that's called a rom-com.
Yeah, yeah, like a meet-cute.
That's what they call it in the movies.
Doesn't happen in real life.
Not often.
Not often.
Not often.
And then it's that version of that one where they get separated
for whatever reason or they go their separate ways
and they haven't changed information and they can't find each other again
and then they search the ends of the world to find each other
and then they're reunited and it's magical.
You know those stories?
Yeah, like these days that doesn't really happen.
Why?
Because there's Facebook and there's all these millions of ways to connect.
Yeah, but if you didn't get their name,
like if you didn't even get their last name,
what are you going to do?
I've got one of these stories.
I've got one of these stories. I've got one of these stories.
It's happened in real life to a lady called Kate Leffler.
She's 23 and she lives in Oklahoma.
And in 2018, she was on holiday in the UK.
She met a guy at a bar and she had one of those things
where the sparks flew and she was with this guy
and they had an amazing night.
Could have been the alcohol.
Who knows?
She said she'd had a few drinks.
But anyway, she had a moment with this guy.
And she said to him, we're going to meet
up tomorrow. And he goes, yep, we're going to meet up tomorrow.
Give me your number and I'll text
you in the morning and we'll
meet up. And they swapped details
and she went home and she was happy and
she was looking forward to the next day and then he didn't text.
And she realised, because
she's from Oklahoma and she was on holiday
in the UK, that she hadn't included the area code, like the...
Plus 64 or whatever it is.
The country code.
Yeah, plus she's not from New Zealand.
I know, but that's the equivalent.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She hadn't put that on there.
So he couldn't get in contact with her.
And so from there, what do you do?
They've gone their separate ways.
Other than go to that bar every night for the rest of it.
Oh, that would be a good idea if she did that.
How is she supposed to find this guy, right?
Anyway, she goes back to Oklahoma and this was in 2018.
This year she decided enough is enough.
She can't stop thinking about this guy who she only knows his name is Adam.
She says, his name's Adam.
I've got to find him.
I have to know if what I felt is the real deal.
So she calls the pub.
She says, hey, I was there drinking on this date in 2018.
And they're like, lady, you're crazy.
Like we've got all new staff since then.
Like how are we supposed to, seriously,
how do you expect us to find this guy?
And she's like, well, I'm just hoping.
She's got one photo with him.
That's it.
She's got a photo where he's in the picture
and she's in the picture and she knows his first name.
So what would you do with that?
How would you?
You put it on social media and you hope it goes viral, don't you?
That's what she did.
So she put it on the pub's Facebook page
and they agreed to share it.
They go, okay, put it up.
We'll do our best.
We don't even know if he lives local.
We'll put it up.
She started an Instagram account called Help Kate Find Adam
and she was sharing it on there and she was sharing the progress
and she was sharing some leads.
He's got quite distinctive tattoos as well.
I mean, everybody in 2018,
50% of guys have got a sleeve tattoo.
But you know, it's something.
Adam, the guy with the sleeve tattoos
that was in this town.
Anyway, last week, the Instagram account posted
and it said, found him.
So out of all the people in all the world, she's in Oklahoma,
he's in the UK, she posted, found him.
And then she posted, turns out he just never actually wanted to meet up.
Worse, she said.
He's married.
Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word.
The internet is amazing.
With that being said, he is in a relationship.
I'm so thankful to receive closure
and to be able to reconnect regardless.
Was he in a relationship when they met?
Don't know.
It doesn't say.
He's in a relationship now though.
Two years later, he's in a relationship now.
Can you imagine Adam?
He's like, you know, out doing the wrong thing
and he's like, yep, got away with that.
Two years later.
Two years later, I'm in the clear.
It's all on social media.
CNN's covering it.
He's like, damn it.
They're talking about me on the radio in New Zealand.
God damn it.
Anyway, Instagram account's been deleted.
So happy ending.
Saucy.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's on the line.
Dean, Chrissy Teigen's pregnant again.
She is pregnant again, which is great news.
They've got such a cool family and they're so funny and beautiful.
But a fascinating fact came out today.
As you may know if you're a fan of hers and you follow her on Twitter,
she had her breast implants removed recently, which is fine.
And she said, look, no big deal.
Just wanted them out.
And we've now found out and discovered she was pregnant during the operation because the day before, when she took a pregnancy test, it came back negative.
But in fact, she was actually pregnant.
And this was all revealed today on Twitter when a Twitter fan said, wait a second.
They did the math, basically. You got your breast removed, breast implants removed
recently on this date, but you're pregnant now, which means you were pregnant during
the surgery. And that's when Chrissy Teigen fessed up and said, yeah, the test came back
negative. And by look, by it all seems like everything's fine and going well. It's not
obviously ideal to have any type of surgery when you're pregnant. So, you know, fingers
crossed everything's okay. Man, you'd
be pissed off if you had a negative pregnancy test.
What would you be more pissed off with? A negative?
False negative or a false positive?
She obviously didn't, you know, fork out for the good one.
She got the cheapie. Yeah.
Yeah, right. Because there
is cheaper, like, tests
than others. Is there? Well, I'm pretty
sure there is. Right. Like, if you
really didn't want to be pregnant, you'd buy the cheap one. Well, I'm pretty sure there is. Right. Like if you really didn't want to be pregnant,
you'd buy the cheap one.
Well, I think people buy...
And then it says you are pregnant,
so you go, okay, I'll shell out for the expensive one.
Yeah, pretty much.
It says, yeah, you're still pregnant
and now you're $60 poorer.
Yeah, pretty much.
I was on her Instagram today.
I saw, because she does a lot of cooking videos and stuff.
John's also doing cooking videos now.
John Legend.
Don't call John by his first name like you're friends with him.
John.
Listen, did you see John?
No, John who?
Who are you talking about?
I was catching up with Chrissy and John today.
My neighbour John, he said to me, oh, we had a laugh, didn't we?
And then his wife Chrissy came over.
It turns out she's pregnant.
He's making fried chicken.
Is he?
Yeah, John's making it. It's John's fried chicken. God, good on John. It tastes good too. I've had John's fried chicken He's making fried chicken. Is he? Yeah, John's making it.
It's John's fried chicken.
God, good on John.
It tastes good too.
I've had John's fried chicken when I was around there.
It's very good.
That's the latest with our Hollywood correspondent,
Dean McCarthy, live out of Los Angeles.
Bree and Clint.
I literally have just realised it's my turn to talk.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Just a minute.
Just going to find my place.
Let's just talk amongst ourselves. Just talk amongst ourselves. Hey a minute. Just going to find my place. We'll just talk amongst ourselves.
Just talk amongst yourselves.
Hey, Ben.
Yeah.
Oh, did you say?
No, don't worry.
Okay, sorry.
I think she's ready.
Okay.
No, I think I'm ready.
Pretty exciting, guys.
I've decided.
That was seamless.
Ready?
Ready?
Watch this.
So, guys.
Seamless transition.
No, this is actually really exciting because I've seen my next new big purchase.
Right.
I've seen it online.
I fell in love with it.
I'm going to buy it.
Right.
And I feel like other people listening are also going to want it.
Let me just run through a couple of your big purchases so far.
That back straightening bra from Wish
that everybody talked about.
That was worth every penny.
You never wear it.
I mean, that's...
You wore it for one Instagram photo
and it popped off,
but it was painful.
Yeah, it was very painful.
The Venute.
Yeah, the Venute.
You know, that was a good purchase.
Made money on that.
You know, and memories.
Yeah, right. Okay, then you got a good filter. What money on that. You know, and memories. Yeah, right.
Okay.
Then you got a good filter.
What's the new item?
This is exciting, guys.
Because available to pre-order today, the couch from Friends.
That couch.
Oh.
Still.
I need clarification because there are a few couches.
Yeah.
There was a couch at Monica and Rachel's.
The most iconic.
Which one was that for you?
There was a couch temporarily for a short amount of time at Joey and Chandler's house.
What's the most iconic friend's couch?
Central Perk.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
So how have they not offered this couch before?
I don't know.
This feels like, speaking of seamless, this is seamless integration.
Because, I mean, it's been a long time since the last episode.
But, yeah, it's making a resurgence because it's available
on the website called I Want One of Those or I Woot,
as I like to call it.
I Woot.
Available in December of this year and quite a hefty price tag, I must say.
How much for a Friends couch?
I'm looking at it now.
By the way, it's too clean.
Like I don't remember it ever being that clean.
Yeah, but once you have it at your house for a while, it'll be fine.
Yeah, but if I imagine it's going to be a big price tag,
I want it to come pre-stained.
Yeah.
How much? You can get the Friends Central Perk Couch Replica
for the low, low price of $4,000 New Zealand.
Whoa.
And it's quite ugly.
Like, keep that in mind.
Unless you're a Friends train spotter,
most of your mates aren't going to come around and go,
oh, my God, is that the Friends couch? They're just going to come around and go, oh my God, is that the friend's couch?
They're just going to come around and go, oh, why does your couch have tassels?
Why does it smell like mothballs?
Yeah, right?
It looks like a couch that would smell like mothballs.
$4,000.
But I don't mind the price tag because only us true friends fans will buy it.
Yeah.
So it means it becomes rarer.
It means it becomes harder to sell when you get sick of it as well.
Also true.
This is an interesting study that I've come across
and I think it would relate to a lot of people.
And I want to put it to the test because there's a study out of the UK
that has said because of lockdown, cats have become friendlier.
Right.
In the results of the test, nearly 90% of the respondents
who have a cat said they provided them with emotional support,
which is really nice.
Yeah.
A further 51% of respondents said their cat has been outside less during the lockdown
because people are at home.
And a further 48% said their cat had been more affectionate and cuddly since lockdown
has begun.
I always wonder this about cats because daytime is their time, you know?
So when the people go to work and the cats have the house to themselves.
Do they enjoy having us around this much?
No, they hate having people around.
Do they?
Well, a lot of cats do.
Yeah, right.
I know our flat cat definitely hates it.
Yeah, but you guys have got a hate-hate relationship with that cat.
I love her so much.
Like, all I want is for her to give me cuddles and I literally –
But she won't and you hate her for it.
She hates me.
Like she's just like get away from me.
And then I think about it because I'm like how annoying.
Like imagine if I was just laying in bed minding my own business
and then some random person comes up and just starts dragging their hand
over my face and scratching my chin. I'd be like, piss off.
Leave me alone.
So I understand her, but I still want her to love me.
Yeah, it would be quite discombobulating for the cats.
They're like, all right, I portion off 5 to 10 p.m.
for you each day.
Now you're literally here 24-7.
Leave me alone.
They're so unpredictable though.
Cats.
Yeah, they're so unpredictable. It Cats. Yeah. They're so unpredictable.
It's like a lot of my previous relationships.
Like you just never know what's going to happen, you know?
Do they like me?
Do they hate me?
Seriously, one minute they'll be like.
And the next minute they're like.
It's seriously like.
I just think you have to get on your cat's level.
I think your cat.
I'm always on her level.
I don't think you are.
Your cat's 18. I think she's very set in her's- I'm always on her level. I don't think you are. Your cat's 18.
I think she's very set in her ways.
She's very old.
And I think you've-
She smells like an old woman.
Yeah,
and I think you've given about,
you've given about a month
to the relationship.
My flatmates,
no,
I've actually put in so much groundwork.
My flatmates all think it's so funny
because I'm always so like,
love me,
love me.
And she's like,
vomit on the couch.
Literally.
But,
and I was like, oh, I'm going to put this to the test.
Like with our cat Shizzle.
Like, you know, it says lockdown.
Everyone, she hates it.
She hates people being around.
There's like 14 people in your house.
Yeah, there is a lot.
And a lot of people pat her because we all love her.
Yeah.
But she hates all of us. Get the message.
Leave the cat alone.
Oh, but I just.
Give it its biscuits.
I just love it. And let it live out its days in peace.
I just love her, though, and I just want to cuddle her.
For your gain.
Because she doesn't want it.
It's for your gain.
I just want to give her love.
Right.
I just want to give her all the love.
And she makes us all pay for it, eh?
I wanted to ask a bit of a risky question this afternoon.
Because obviously this study is saying that, you know,
because of lockdown, they reckon cats are behaving in a more friendly, affectionate way because their owners are home more.
Yeah.
I want to know from people the opposite though.
Is your cat a bit of an arsehole?
Right.
What did they do?
They might have thrown up on your pillow.
I know that used to happen in my family home.
My dad would walk into the room and he goes,
oh, the cat has thrown up on the pillow.
Oh, she's shit in the bathtub again.
My cat's favourite thing at the moment to do is vomit on the bed
at four o'clock in the morning.
Why on the bed?
That's what we do.
We wake up and successfully move her from the good blanket
to the not so good blanket. That's what we do. We wake up and it's a success if we move her from the good blanket to the not so good blanket.
That's a successful cat vomit for us.
Why did they walk to the
only part of carpeted floor
and vomit there? And why are they fine
the second after they vomit?
Like they look like they're about to die.
And then as soon as they vomit they just start licking their
own butt and they're like, I'm chill. It's all good. It's fine.
Is your cat,
what did your cat do where you looked at it
and you just thought, oh, damn you, cat.
0800 dial
ZM or you can text us on
9696. Is your cat a bit of an arsehole?
Bree and Clint.
Study out today saying that lockdown
has made your family
cats friendlier and more
cuddly and just
more well behaved.
And you say BS.
I call BS because our flat cat has attacked me more than ever and I just try and love
her.
All I'm trying to do is give her love.
Shizzle, if you're listening, I love you, but things have been tough lately.
We had a big fight yesterday.
She won, but we're moving past that.
What have you done to make it up to Shizzle?
I feed her
canned tuna. She loves
some fish.
And what else have I done?
I comb her.
I do everything. I do everything for her.
She gives me nothing. Some cats, that's their
allure. Some cats, that's their thing.
They're just sassy bees. And that's their aesthetic. They really are.
She's 18. She ain't changing. No, she's a very old cat. And I will continue to love
you, Shizzle, but I don't have to like you right now. We've asked you guys this afternoon,
is your cat a bit of a dick? Yeah. Is your cat a bit of an a-hole? What did the cat do
that made you think, you bloody cat? Dean, your cat's an a-hole. What did the cat do that made you think, you bloody cat?
Dean, your cat's an a-hole?
Yeah, well, my flat-matched cat, but yeah, it backed up.
She thought she was getting cuddles and she was in bed and the cat came in and she thought
she was getting cuddles and the cat peed on her instead.
Oh, no.
No.
Obviously a boy cat.
No, actually.
No? No? Girl cats pee cat. No. No?
Girl cats pee too.
No, but I thought boy cats are the ones that...
Spray.
Spray, yeah.
Oh, they do the stinky spray.
Is that a boy cat thing?
I'm pretty sure that's a boy cat thing.
Yeah, right.
It's like them, you know, leaving their scent.
Yeah, right.
Oh, Dean, that's off.
There's nothing worse than...
Why does their urine smell the worst out of any, you know?
I'd
rather dog urine. I've had
a lot of cats in my life. I've never been peed on
in the face. Why is cat urine the worst?
I don't get it. Hi, Ash.
How you going, team? Good.
Thanks, Ash. Tell us, is your cat a bit of an
a-hole? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, he's put
two of the neighbour's kids and a adult friend of ours in A&E.
What?
How?
He's, we refer to him as Tripola.
He entices you in to get a pet.
He's a big silver mancoon-like looking cat.
And then it's all over.
He just clawed up this poor girl's arm and punctured her hand.
He's a bit of a unit.
Ash, if there was a dog, it would have been put down by now.
Yeah, we raised that same question,
but these kids keep coming up onto our property to pet them.
We keep telling them, don't pet the cat, don't pet the cat.
Ash, it sounds like me with my cat every time, and I never learn.
I reckon you need to give my cat a cud and I never learn. The Maine Coon's...
I reckon you need to give my cat a cuddle.
It doesn't sound
like it. Damn, those are fighting words, Ash.
A Maine Coon, it sounds like...
You know that scene on Tiger King? Those cats are huge.
When the girl
got attacked and her arm got bit off.
Maine Coon's a mess. They're huge, big cats.
Finally, Catherine,
your pussy's an a-hole.
No, wait, hang on.
Sorry, that's what I wanted to say.
Don't say the P word.
I hate the P word.
My cat.
Yes, Catherine.
I woke up during the last Level 4 lockdown to this absolutely putrid smell to discover he had done diarrhea on top of the blanket on top of my husband down our stairs
and all down the hallway.
Right, okay.
So, Catherine, I can imagine you walked in, you're like,
oh, my God, and then you turned around and you're like,
it's on the stairs, and then you look at the walls
and he smeared it all down the hallway.
Oh, yeah.
And it was all over my husband while he was sleeping.
Important question when these things happen in a relationship, Catherine.
Whose cat is it?
Is it your cat or is it his cat?
It's his cat.
And he takes pride in the fact that it sleeps on his side of the bed.
That's fine.
If it's his cat, that means he has to clean up the diarrhea.
That's how. If it's his cat, that means he has to clean up the diarrhea. That's how the system
works. What did he do to
piss it off so much that it shit on him?
I have no idea.
But I laughed so hard.
So good, Catherine.
There you go. So good.
Give your cat an extra pat. That's a
real relationship.
Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.
I'm Alex Casey.
And I'm Duncan Grave.

Did you see our last week ex-Sticky TV presenter
and fellow colleague of ours, Sam Wallace,
and winner of Celebrity Treasure Island last year,
announced that him and his partner are having identical twins.
Yeah, I did see that.
How exciting for them.
How exciting, but at the same time terrifying.
Absolutely terrifying.
As a parent myself, like any child is obviously a miracle
and you're grateful, but two at once.
Bang, bang, get them done at the same time.
Why not? I think the only thing
that's better is that they've had the one
to like break the ice. Practice.
And they know how kids work, so then you get to
I feel for people who have twins straight away.
It's just like your house was on fire
for three years, I reckon. But then everything else seems
easier afterwards then.
You know? Oh, I've broken
both my legs. Not as bad as that time we had twins.
See, go hard early and then you're like, oh, that's fine.
Try and wrap your head around this identical twin story
because I can't really comprehend how this has come about.
So there's a set of identical twin sisters.
They are married to identical twin brothers.
Whoa. They are married to identical twin brothers Whoa And now the twin sisters are both pregnant at the same time
To their identical husbands
With twins
No
Wouldn't that be incredible
So they don't know yet
But technically like I thought about it
Their kids will be full genetic siblings as well as cousins.
How?
How?
They're different people.
Just because they're twins, they're different people.
No, but they're the same.
No.
They're fully genetically the same, aren't they?
Because they're identical twins.
See, I don't know enough about twins,
but if you're an identical twin,
you're not,
you don't share the same DNA.
Do you?
I feel like your genetic makeup is the same.
Anastasia,
is Anastasia a twin?
No, her sister.
Or she got twins in her family?
Her sister's a twin.
She might know.
Producer Anastasia.
And your mum's a twin as well.
Yeah, my mum's a fraternal twin,
different.
No, surely not.
Fraternal twins aren't
because they're completely different eggs.
But identical twins, I'm pretty sure, are like 99% the exact same.
Do you share genetic DNA?
This might sound real dumb to people who know.
Producer Anastasia is looking at you like, I have no idea.
All I know is that my sisters, they're fraternal.
They don't look anything like each other.
So they, yeah, we're super necks.
I don't think they're, I think they'll just be cousins.
I don't think they can be considered.
I feel like they, like they.
See, I was going to go down,
because they're born at this exact same time,
both mother and father,
they've followed the same journey.
Imagine if each of the babies comes out and they're identical.
Yeah, see, that would be insane.
But that won't happen because different eggs and different swimmers.
Well, not millions of eggs, but thousands of eggs.
And millions of swimmers.
Yeah.
Not possible.
It wouldn't be possible.
But if they did bear a resemblance.
They probably will because they have the exact same looking mother and dad.
So they probably will look really similar.
How hard would you be trying to have the baby on the same day?
Well, it's actually crazy because these twins were part
of a documentary called Twin Sane Wedding where they got married
on the same day, engaged on the same day, married on the same day.
And they're set to actually live in the same house
as one family unit all together. They're a reality TV show. They are. Yeah. And they're set to actually live in the same house as one family unit all together.
They're a reality TV show.
They are.
Yeah.
No.
That's TLC.
Oh, no, they literally are?
No, they literally are.
Bree and Clint.
Oh, my God.
What?
No way.
I can't believe that happened.
Oh, my God.
No.
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Bree and Clint's Cliffhanger.
It's pretty
exciting. This is our segment where we usually get
you guys to call up and tell us three
quarters of a story and then someone tries to
guess the ending. For the first time ever,
the segment's going international, Brie.
Yeah, that's right. We do have podcast
listeners from all over the globe
and this is one of the podcast listeners.
Kariva is joining us on the show.
Does that say your name correctly, Kariva?
Yes, it's Kariva, yep.
Hi, Kariva.
Whereabouts in the world are you?
I'm in Ontario, Canada.
How's everything going over there?
Oh, it's awesome.
Everything's kind of under control.
Okay, good.
So Kariva is a member of our Brian Clint Podcast family
private Facebook group that anyone can join,
but it's just a way of people from all over the globe
being able to...
Yeah, connect.
Kareva, you went out there and did something quite cool.
You've submitted your own cliffhanger on our page,
so we thought today, let's do yours.
You tell us three quarters of your story,
and then someone here in New Zealand
is going to try and guess the ending.
Okay.
I just have to say how excited I am because you guys are so awesome
and I love your podcast every day.
I listen to them.
Thanks, Karima.
That's lovely.
It honestly trips us out every time that we know people from different countries
are listening to this podcast.
How did you even find our podcast all the way in Canada?
Well, to be honest, it was during COVID.
You know how you go scrolling on Facebook
and you see different things and different things on TikTok.
And then for some reason, you guys popped up.
And I've been watching ever since and listening ever since.
And now you're on.
Okay, what we're going to get you to do
is tell us three quarters of your story.
And then Producer Ben is going to come in
with potential endings.
And then someone's going to try
and win some mobile fuel off you.
Go for it, Kareva.
Okay, this is kind of crazy and bizarre
because I totally fell in love 25 years ago online
with none other than a guy from Australia.
Right.
And, yeah.
Pardon me?
I said right.
Interesting.
You've hooked me in already.
Oh, I was going to say, why?
No.
I'm like, because he's amazing.
Yeah, and so, yeah, I pretty much lost my second year of university to him
because I was skipping all my classes to talk to him in the computer lab.
But that's another story in itself.
So we totally fell in love, nightly love with each other.
And he actually came to Canada twice to meet me.
And I was young and I was scared and I chickened out.
I didn't meet him.
No, you never actually went.
And he came all the way to Canada.
Well, to be fair, he flew to BC, which is on the other side of the country from where I am.
But still, I could have put in an effort.
But I was really young and I was really scared.
There were lots of scary things happening in the world at the time.
Yeah.
So, yeah, we both went on our merry little way and we went on with our lives.
And he ended up becoming a police officer.
I became a teacher.
And from time to time, you know, on Facebook, we would touch base with each other.
We'd say the casual hello or the happy birthdays and stuff like that.
But most recently, it wasn't until I heard about the fires in Australia,
and it dawned on me I should ask him, how is he doing?
And so I put a message out there, and I hope your family's okay type of thing.
And he got back to me in January, and we reconnected in a way that we've never reconnected before. So like even on
a deeper level than we've ever connected right from the get-go. But then something happened.
Oh my god. Okay. I'm so invested, Kariva. What is that something that happened? Producer Ben,
three options please. Okay, after they reconnected, A, did he take a leave of absence from work,
fly over at the end of February, we meet in person,
and currently planning a long-awaited wedding?
Oh, great option.
B, COVID hit, preventing us from meeting,
but we continue our mad 25-year-long love affair online.
I've got goosebumps.
Or C, did he fly over in February finally and we discovered
that we aren't each other's cup
of tea in person? No!
Not that one.
One of those is the correct
ending to Kareva calling us all
the way from Canada's cliffhanger.
Shannon, you're going to try and correctly
pick the cliffhanger ending.
What is it? I think
it's B. B.
COVID hit, preventing us from actually meeting
but we're continuing our love
online. Kareva,
what is the real
ending to your absolute
cliffhanger love story?
Well, I actually
feel like this should be a part of Fletchbond and Megan's
show on the Not Now segment
because, yes, COVID did happen.
No!
I mean, it's better than C, but it's not as good as A.
Yeah.
Which means, Shannon, you've won free mobile fuel.
Congratulations.
Nice work.
Yay.
Which also makes us avoid, if you won, Kariva,
how we were going to get the mobile fuel over to Canada.
Our vouchers aren't valid in Canada.
Oh, I would just pass it on anyways.
Yeah, right.
Cariva, whereabouts in Aussie is your bloke from?
He's from New South Wales.
I don't know if I'm pronouncing it properly.
Is it Wollongong?
Oh, Wollongong.
Wollongong near Sydney.
Okay.
Well, hopefully not too long and you guys will finally meet
after 25 years.
You've waited 25 years.
You can wait one more pandemic.
And hopefully we can plan that wedding
that we keep talking about.
Oh my God.
I'm so excited.
Yeah.
Just don't chicken out this time, Kariva.
Jeez.
I definitely won't.
And I told him that.
We'll come with you if you want.
Yeah, please.
Oh, you're more than welcome
to come here anytime.
Sounds good.
Bree and Clint.
It's at him.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
If you thought 2020 couldn't get any weirder,
it's about to.
Because announced
yesterday,
Chappelle Corby, who was
convicted, obviously, of
drug smuggling into Bali a
number of years ago, released
about six years ago.
So she's been back in Australia.
Has she been out for six years?
Yeah, apparently she's been, yeah, she got released for six years.
And she hasn't re-offended yet?
I'm not sure if, because she had to live in Bali for a bit.
Yeah.
But she's back in Australia, living the life,
announced that she will be appearing on a reality TV show.
Very exciting.
Wonderful.
The show is called SAS Australia and it's an action reality show.
Oh.
So it's kind of similar, I mean, to like, I'd probably say, you know,
like Celebrity Treasure Island.
Yeah, it's a challenge show, right.
A challenge show where they get participants to undergo boot camps
and similar things like the special services experience.
I've seen a trailer for a version of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's so disappointing.
I thought she was going to have her own Keeping Up With The Kardashians style.
You know, remember the Osbournes?
Yes.
Aussie Osbournes reality show?
That was like one of the first ones.
Full train wreck situation.
I thought it was going to be her, her bogan sister, Mercedes.
Yeah, Mercedes is great.
Her mum.
Her batshit cuckoo mum.
Her dad.
Her dad.
She's got a brother too, I think.
Yeah.
Be great.
Her boogie boarding coach.
Yeah, keeping up with the Corbys.
Keeping up with the Corbys.
Keeping up with the Corbys.
It would have, you know, followed their life, what they're up to.
I would have tuned in for that.
Maybe they haven't thought that far ahead.
Maybe we should, maybe we, oh.
You know how Ryan Seacrest makes Keeping Up With The Kardashians?
Yeah.
Maybe this is our chance.
Maybe we should make Keeping Up With The Corbys.
I actually have something in the works.
Do you?
Yeah.
It's pretty exciting. Yeah. I don't want to give much away. But obviously, you know, I've got connections back home.
Yeah, right. Okay. I don't know the Corbys directly.
But, you know, some of my friends are friends with them. Are we going to follow
the Kardashian model and release Chappelle's
sex tape first?
Look, I think with Chappelle's image, we want to keep it classy, you know?
Right, yeah, good thinking from you, yeah.
The best route is to keep it classy.
Maybe do a Ralph or FHM cover first and that can launch,
because, you know, Kim did Playboy.
Chappelle can do...
Yeah, like Mercedes did.
Zoo Weekly or something.
You've seen Mercedes cover, right?
I did, yeah.
Yeah, right, good one.
She looked great.
You have to give it to her.
Oh, yeah.
She looked amazing.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway, there's going to be other celebrities on the show
and they're all pretty much going to compete against each other.
Oh, this is the real one again.
This is the real one. Yeah, right each other. Oh, this is the real one again. This is the real one.
Yeah, right.
Oh, good for them.
Question.
Like the age game, but I call it the marijuana game,
how much did she get caught smuggling?
How much could you fit in a boogie board bag?
I imagine it was packed quite tightly.
I'm going to say nine kilos.
No, it was only 4.2.
Oh, is that it?
Yeah.
Allegedly.
Sorry her wee doesn't impress you.
Brian Clint.
This is not a great stat for lockdown for people who are in relationships,
but it's the facts, okay?
So take with them and do with them what you will.
Maybe it's a good warning.
Much like last lockdown, relationship counsellors and divorce lawyers
are seeing a four times increase in the number of people asking for their services.
They've gone up, what's the right way of saying it?
Four, fourfold, foursome, fourish, four.
Four.
Four times. For lot. Four. Four times.
For lot.
Four.
They've quadrupled.
There you go.
They've quadrupled.
Quadrupled their numbers.
Yeah.
I mean, business is booming.
How good if you're in that business.
Business is booming.
Yeah.
They're having to do all their divorce meetings over Zoom.
But no one's booming.
But no one's booming.
No.
If they were doing a bit more boom-booming.
No, that's what I was meant to say.
Yeah.
No one's boom-booming.
So their business is booming.
If they go, yeah, if they did more boom-booming, the boom would's what I was meant to say. Yeah, no one's boom-booming, so their business is booming.
If they go, yeah, if they did more boom-booming, the boom would be over.
The boom would be bust.
Yep.
The boom would be bust.
Which is sad, but, you know, some people believe that your breakup is not the product of lockdown.
It's just accelerated the process of what would have happened anyway.
Oh, okay. You know, you've gone, oh, there were cracks in our foundations, and all lockdown's done
is expose those and force us to look at each other all day, every day,
across the dinner table slash shared workspace.
It is a really tough time for people, though.
There's so much extra stress, so much extra pressure on everything.
And then that, in turn, obviously affects your relationships
and then you have to spend all this time with those relationships.
You might actually quite like someone if you see them for 25 of the day you
didn't sign up to a show you didn't sign up to a relationship where you saw each other a hundred
percent of the time a hundred percent of the days i'm gonna sound like an a-hole but it's like
friends you know where you're like god i love these guys i love these friends and then you live
with them and you're like,
Oh, this was a mistake.
This was horrible.
But when they're just your friends and you see them every now and then.
It's exactly right.
It's the same.
You're absolutely right.
So we thought we could ask a question today related to that.
Say you're married.
No, this works for engaged people too.
Say you're engaged or married.
A ring has been exchanged, okay?
And then you break up, maybe because of lockdown,
maybe because of other reasons, maybe because of cheating.
Yeah, it can be any reason. Maybe because of irreconcilable differences.
Maybe you just grew apart.
What happens to the ring?
If you break up with someone and they gave you a ring,
do you have to give the ring back?
Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it?
What do you think?
I think it really depends on the situation.
So, for example, say someone in the relationship cheated,
then the other person gets to keep the ring.
You forfeit everything.
Yeah.
Well, not everything, but, you know, especially that.
I agree.
I reckon if there's cheating involved,
that the law should be different.
Because it's 50-50 when you break up,
but if someone cheated, it should be more like 60-40.
Is it?
Well, maybe in America.
Yeah, right.
Don't quote me on that.
I feel like in a prenup, you can have written into it if someone is...
Oh, prenups are great.
You can put whatever you want in there.
Yeah, true.
You can make up your own rules.
If you leave the toilet seat up more than five times in a 10-year period...
You don't get any money.
I get 90% of everything.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so cheating, you get to keep the ring.
I think the person who has cheated, yeah, forfeits their right to keep the ring.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
So if you cheated, you have to give the ring back.
That's what I mean.
And if you got cheated on, you keep the ring.
Yeah, if you get cheated on, that person gets the ring regardless of it. That's what I mean. And if you got cheated on you keep the ring. If you get cheated on that person gets the ring
regardless of it. Okay what if you just grow apart?
Then I think
the person that has been given the ring
keeps the ring. What if I only proposed
to you like six months ago
and then we grew apart? I don't think it matters.
Right. What if you knew we were growing apart
but you just said yes at the time because it was
easier than saying no and then
we break up. But they're not going to know that no i think like yeah if it's if it's a mutual thing yeah um then
i think the person yeah it's their ring i haven't been through this and neither of you so let's take
some real life examples oh 800 dials at m when broke up, what happened to the ring? This takes into account all circumstances.
Yeah.
We just love to know.
When you broke up, what happened to the ring?
You can text us as well on 9696.
Brie and Clint.
Picture this.
Great relationship.
It's so good.
You've got engaged.
Maybe you're even married.
But then something happens.
We don't know what.
And you guys break up.
The ring is worth quite a bit of money.
What happens to that ring?
Do you keep it?
Is it yours?
Do you get to take it with you?
Or is the right thing to do, especially if the breakdown of the relationship was your
choice or your fault, do you have to give the ring back?
I think it depends on the situation, especially if someone has cheated, then I feel like the
other person should keep the ring.
We had a text from someone who knows the law and they said that in New Zealand,
as far as divvying up relationship property,
cheating isn't taken into account.
There's also someone on the text machine who has said,
I'm staying anonymous on this,
but my lawyer says the ring is a gift
and you're allowed to keep it.
Right, okay, so that doesn't enter into,
if you're splitting everything 50-50.
The ring is a gift.
Yeah, right.
Well, that makes a lot of sense.
Which I think. Could you then go, well, The ring is a gift. Yeah, right. Well, that makes a lot of sense.
Which I think.
Could you then go, well, my car was a gift?
Well, maybe.
I gifted it to myself from us.
If you can prove it.
But then I think there's one other situation that I was thinking about.
Yeah.
Where I think you really kind of have to give it back regardless.
What's that?
If it's a family heirloom.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Because I wouldn't feel right.
No.
Keeping that either way. Yeah, no, yeah. Good point. You know? Oh, that's a really Because I wouldn't feel right keeping that either way.
Yeah, no, yeah, good point.
You know?
Oh, that's a really good fish hook. I didn't think about that.
It's not the rest of the family's fault
if the person cheated was a dick, you know?
It's not the late great-great-grandmother's fault
that you cheated.
And the family loses out.
Or he cheated, yeah.
Rob, did you have a breakup that involved a ring?
Yeah, I did, mate.
Okay, tell us what happened.
Well, we broke up and it's been held captive at the moment,
so I'm still waiting to get it back.
Oh, you want it back?
Yeah, I want it back, because the thing is,
I brought it for $500 at the warehouse,
but it's valued at $3,500.
Oh, good score.
That was a good deal, Rob.
And what she said to me is,
oh, it's still in the box in the garage,
and she's now moved to Hamilton, so she's obviously in the box in the garage. And she's now moved to Hamilton.
So she's obviously moved the box somewhere.
So I'm still waiting for her.
Rob, why did you guys break up?
Oh, there's a little bit of court hearings and all that.
But the day that she come back with her father,
because her father's an ex-cop, he put me in the car like a prisoner.
And he said, I'm taking you home.
You're not allowed to get anybody else.
I'm going to take you home.
Whoa. Okay, all right. You guys have got a complicated story. Yeah, but I'm taking you home. You're not allowed to get anybody else. I'm going to take you home. Whoa.
Okay, all right.
You guys have got a complicated story.
Yeah, but I want the ring back.
You want the ring back?
Yeah, whoever paid for it should get it back regardless.
Right, okay.
That's Rob's opinion.
Yeah.
Interesting.
I mean, he wants to get his three grand out of his purchase.
Yeah, off the back of the good deal.
Hi, Jaden.
G'day, Jaden.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Has this happened to you?
Yeah, so I recently split with my partner probably about a month ago,
and we weren't engaged for five or six months,
and we've just decided to sell it together back to the person who made it.
Well, I'll go see him and try to sell it back to him
and see if he wants to buy it.
Yeah, right.
And you'll split the cash? Yeah, we'll go see him and try to sell it back to him and see if he wants to buy it. Yeah, right. And you'll split the cash?
Yeah, we'll just split the cash.
Yeah, we'll just pay off what we had of our wedding loan that we were going to have.
Oh, man.
Oh, Jaden.
Why did you guys break up?
Sounds like you guys are a bit of a team.
Yeah, we just grew apart.
Like, that's what it is.
Yeah, right.
Oh, sorry, mate.
Well, at least you guys don't hate each other
and it sounds like
you guys are working
through things
and you still,
you know.
Yeah, yeah.
I think the whole ring thing
is, you know,
it's a gift,
so the person
who receives the ring
should keep it.
They decide.
Oh, what a gentleman.
Not to rub salt in the wound,
how much money
did you lose
on the wedding?
I think
I made down
to about
nine grand.
Oh yeah, okay.
Yeah, but you
still had the ring
so hopefully
you get most of that bit.
Plus, if you bought
the booze,
you can drink that.
So don't think
You just have a lot
in your garage
for a while.
Don't think of that
as lost money.
Julie, finally,
have you had a breakup that involved
a ring? Sure did.
So I was with my ex for
six and a half years and we were engaged for the last
two of those years and
then he cheated on me. So
I asked for the ring
back. I said no and kept the ring
and sold it and went shopping instead.
There you go. Good on you, Julie.
How much did you get for it?
I got about three quarters of the original price back.
Which was how much?
Come on, Julie.
Give us some details.
Tell us, Julie.
So it was worth three and a half.
He paid $1,500 for it on sale and I got $1,200 back.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I mean, it doesn't make up for being cheated on, but, you know, not bad.
She bought a nice hair bag.
She's like, this is my memory of my ex-husband over here.
She spent it on a hotel room with the new boyfriend.
Go, Julie.
Thanks, Julie.
I appreciate the call.
Bree and Clint.
Zeddy and Bree and Clint.
That's Lorde and Green Lights.
When's she releasing new music?
Well, it was meant to be soon
I'm so keen for it
I'm frothing at the bit
Oh, that shouldn't have said that
It's a horse saying
It's chomping at the bit
Oh
No, horse is frothing at the bit too It's chomping at the bit. Oh.
No, horses froth at the bit too.
It's chomping at the bit or frothing at the mouth.
Right.
I've put them together. What you said is a completely different thing altogether.
Yeah.
Which I'm sure you may be, but we didn't need to know.
I wasn't meaning it that way.
And I wouldn't share that stuff on the radio.
Let's do birthday banger, shall we?

Pseudo-echo?
Pseudo-echo, yeah.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
I like it, Scotty.
I don't know if anyone will get this reference,
but this song always reminds me of... Malcolm in the Middle?
No.
Do you remember the character on South Park, Towley?
No.
He was the towel who just smoked weed all the time.
That show is corked up.
Yeah.
And they figured out
how to play Funky Town
on the keypad.
Like I said,
I don't know if anyone
will get the reference,
but okay,
we're going to get a winner.
I vote Scribe.
I do like Funky Town.
Okay.
I love to go to Funky Town.
Would you like Funky Town
for the whole four minutes of the song?
Is it?
How long is it?
Three minutes, 46.
Because once you've talked about it, talked about it, talked about it.
You're convincing me.
No, I didn't mean to convince you.
I was meant to be doing the opposite.
If you can say Funky Town, we'll have to go to split vote. Yeah, I want to push it to the you can say Funky Town,
we'll have to go to split vote.
Yeah, I want to push it
to the split vote, Funky Town.
Let's go to our two producers
who I will remind them
they're both from Crush It.
Who is the winner
of Birthday Banger today?
Anastasia.
Shriek 2 is the greatest movie
of all time
and that's why I've got to go
Funky Town.
Oh, you're a cunt.
Anastasia. Girls, you're cocked. Stasia!
Girls, girls, girls, girls.
What about when you come on down to North Canterbury?
Yeah, that's not that song, though.
Scotty has taken home the win.
It's not his best song.
What do you think, Scotty?
Awesome.
Funky Town all the way. Talk about it Talk about, talk about, talk about moving

Nah.
Anastasia, any regrets on that song for you?
Yeah, any regrets?
Play it in full.
I reckon that's amazing.
Yeah, let's go again.
We did play it in full.
That's enough, okay?
I mean, I do love Scribe.
First we cancelled Friday Okie Live last week,
and then now we don't play Scribe.
Canterbury will never accept us back.
We'll play Scribe again soon.
Trust me.
Funky Town.
Funky Town was da bomb.
Oh. Holy shit, I just travelled back in time.
Oh, I just whacked my tooth on the microphone.
Oh, did you?
To the early 2000s.
Oh, too funny.
We're having too much fun.
God, that was wicked.
Bree and Clint. much fun. God, that was wicked. Okay, I want to talk to you about a fairly young person who's just bought a house.
This is an inspirational story.
Oh, yeah.
How young are we talking?
25?
Like, you know, that's pretty young.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I'm impressed if you're like...
Younger, younger than that.
Younger.
And remember, this is motivational, okay?
This is for any of you millennials out there
who are like,
got to get on that housing ladder.
You can do it
because this young person has done the same thing.
Michael Hamden,
Michael Hamden
has just become Sydney's youngest property owner.
Whoa, and Sydney, similar to Auckland.
Very similar to Auckland.
Yeah.
Overpriced and really bad traffic.
Yes.
So the eight-year-old.
Eight?
Bought his first property at auction on the weekend.
An eight-year-old?
Yeah, an eight-year-old, yeah.
The auctioneer said his first bid was met by astonishment
from the crowd of onlookers.
Yeah, no crap.
He's eight years old and he's bidding on a house in Sydney.
How did they even see him put his hand up?
They would have been like lost in the ground.
He had a really long paddle.
Did he?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, right.
He won the auction.
He won it.
Yeah, yeah.
So he got the house.
He was unable to directly buy the property because he's eight.
Yeah, no shit.
So his father purchased it, but he said it's for his son.
But the son went and handed the cheque over to shore up the deal.
God.
How does an eight-year-old have a cheque book?
It'd be good to be a trust fund baby.
Well, it has.
How much was it?
Look, I don't want to cast aspersions on Michael.
I want to know how much it is.
Look, he paid $970,000.
Oh my.
But it's in Sydney.
It's in Sydney.
He's going to double that.
So good investment.
No, I don't know where an eight-year-old got a 20% deposit
for a $970,000 property.
And what's his credit like?
And how is he going to make the mortgage repayments?
His dad said that him and his son are going to renovate it together.
That's nice, eh?
They're going to renovate it together.
The son's not going to be able to do anything.
No, he said the son will be involved every step of the way.
The son is going to make all the choices,
like picking out fittings and fixtures, which is great. Imagine... Be all race car beds of the way. The sun is going to make all the choices, like picking out fittings and fixtures,
which is great. Imagine...
Be all race car beds inside the rooms. Yeah, race car beds,
paw patrol curtains. Yeah, that'd be
sweet. Iron man taps,
like the tap heads are iron man... Awesome.
Awesome, right? Love it. And
monster truck furniture. So,
it's all good. There he is, standing in front of the sold sign.
So, there you go, alright? Stop being
lazy, millennials, and buy your house house like eight-year-old Michael.
I've got no hope, eh?
Nudes on the news.
You don't see that all that often.
No.
You don't see that many nudes.
It's usually a 7 p.m. show.
No.
Yeah.
What?
Six.
Six.
Six.
Clearly I don't watch the news.
No, just tuning in for the news.
You're talking about Seven Sharp.
That's what I watch.
And there's lots of nudes on there.
Jeremy's flopping it out.
Hilary's running some cleave.
It's a good time.
Don't talk about Hilary and Jeremy like that.
Who's the news network in New Zealand who last week broadcast nudes?
It was...
Nudes Hub. Sorry, News news hub and this is breaking new this is breaking nudes welcome to nudes hub i'm mike mcschlong bits and you're um celery big tits
uh on friday obviously big news day they had the announcement At 5.30
About lockdown extending
And so lockdown
COVID
It's the main story
They crossed to one
Of their reporters
Who was doing one of those
In studio crosses
And you know
You'll see this on
Every single news channel
In the world
The news hub panel
Or whatever
Yeah
And they've got the newsroom
In the background
And they've been working
On computers
Which has caught out
News channels before
People browsing stuff
They shouldn't have been browsing.
But they've also got lots of TV screens on.
And the TV screens are just playing whatever the TV screens are playing.
It's like a busy hub of news-related things.
Behind this news hub reporter was an episode of Naked Attraction.
God, I love that show.
I don't understand how Naked Attraction is a show that can be on regular TV.
How can it be on at that time?
Yeah.
Because, yeah, how?
I don't know.
I don't understand.
Unless someone in the control room was not doing something they were supposed to
and they were watching an episode and for some reason it was getting streamed.
Why is it on at 6.15?
I see what you're saying.
Unless Dave missed the episode from last night and he's my Skydirt
and then he's watching it in the newsroom.
He's just catching up on an episode.
Yeah.
Anyway, it was the bit where they lift the thing
and they reveal the downstairs.
Two male penises on the 6 o'clock news.
I just want to read you this line.
This is from the article Reporting on the Nudes that were reported on in the news.
Naked Attraction broadcasts an average of six penises and two vaginas every minute.
Every minute.
That's such bullcrap ratio.
Oh, yeah.
Where's all the other vaginas?
I'm not having that.
Well, no, you guys are bulking it out with the boobies as well.
No, we don't know!
Set them free!
