Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:22 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
Starting point is 00:00:36 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
Starting point is 00:00:51 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
Starting point is 00:01:03 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?
Starting point is 00:01:30 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
Starting point is 00:01:43 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.
Starting point is 00:01:53 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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
Starting point is 00:02:32 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.
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:02:58 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
Starting point is 00:03:09 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
Starting point is 00:03:24 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
Starting point is 00:03:48 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.
Starting point is 00:04:18 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
Starting point is 00:04:32 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
Starting point is 00:04:51 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
Starting point is 00:05:06 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
Starting point is 00:05:23 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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...
Starting point is 00:05:51 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.
Starting point is 00:06:04 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.
Starting point is 00:06:19 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:59 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
Starting point is 00:07:20 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
Starting point is 00:07:31 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
Starting point is 00:07:41 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.
Starting point is 00:08:07 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.
Starting point is 00:08:16 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.
Starting point is 00:08:26 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,
Starting point is 00:08:41 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?
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:09:47 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.
Starting point is 00:10:00 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.
Starting point is 00:10:13 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?
Starting point is 00:10:31 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?
Starting point is 00:10:49 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.
Starting point is 00:11:01 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?
Starting point is 00:11:28 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?
Starting point is 00:11:43 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,
Starting point is 00:11:57 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
Starting point is 00:12:14 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.
Starting point is 00:12:40 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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,
Starting point is 00:13:05 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,
Starting point is 00:13:18 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
Starting point is 00:13:34 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?
Starting point is 00:13:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:11 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.
Starting point is 00:14:32 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,
Starting point is 00:14:50 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.
Starting point is 00:15:08 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
Starting point is 00:15:29 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.
Starting point is 00:15:46 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.
Starting point is 00:16:01 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.
Starting point is 00:16:14 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.
Starting point is 00:16:27 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
Starting point is 00:16:40 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,
Starting point is 00:16:59 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
Starting point is 00:17:17 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.
Starting point is 00:17:30 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...
Starting point is 00:17:48 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?
Starting point is 00:18:00 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.
Starting point is 00:18:19 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?
Starting point is 00:18:36 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?
Starting point is 00:18:49 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
Starting point is 00:19:02 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.
Starting point is 00:19:18 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:19:57 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.
Starting point is 00:20:11 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.
Starting point is 00:20:28 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.
Starting point is 00:20:47 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
Starting point is 00:21:19 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
Starting point is 00:21:38 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.
Starting point is 00:21:51 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.
Starting point is 00:22:03 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:29 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.
Starting point is 00:22:43 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.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I think she's ready. Okay. No, I think I'm ready. Pretty exciting, guys. I've decided. That was seamless. Ready? Ready?
Starting point is 00:22:59 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.
Starting point is 00:23:15 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...
Starting point is 00:23:31 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.
Starting point is 00:23:43 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.
Starting point is 00:24:00 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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.
Starting point is 00:24:27 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.
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:15 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?
Starting point is 00:25:30 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.
Starting point is 00:25:49 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.
Starting point is 00:26:22 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?
Starting point is 00:26:49 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 –
Starting point is 00:27:06 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.
Starting point is 00:27:28 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.
Starting point is 00:27:43 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.
Starting point is 00:27:59 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-
Starting point is 00:28:07 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 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,
Starting point is 00:28:27 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.
Starting point is 00:28:40 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.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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,
Starting point is 00:29:10 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.
Starting point is 00:29:27 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
Starting point is 00:29:44 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
Starting point is 00:30:00 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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.
Starting point is 00:30:33 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.
Starting point is 00:30:54 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,
Starting point is 00:31:17 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.
Starting point is 00:31:41 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.
Starting point is 00:31:52 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?
Starting point is 00:32:07 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,
Starting point is 00:32:21 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.
Starting point is 00:32:41 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...
Starting point is 00:33:05 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.
Starting point is 00:33:22 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:34:06 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.
Starting point is 00:34:24 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
Starting point is 00:34:42 real relationship. Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee. I'm Alex Casey. And I'm Duncan Grave. We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time. We bloody love reality telly.

And what it is, is The Real Pod. Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network and available wherever you get your pods. Did you see our last week ex-Sticky TV presenter and fellow colleague of ours, Sam Wallace,
Starting point is 00:35:25 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.
Starting point is 00:35:43 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
Starting point is 00:35:59 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.
Starting point is 00:36:25 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.
Starting point is 00:36:49 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.
Starting point is 00:37:01 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?
Starting point is 00:37:13 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.
Starting point is 00:37:20 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.
Starting point is 00:37:41 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,
Starting point is 00:37:59 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.
Starting point is 00:38:17 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.
Starting point is 00:38:40 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?
Starting point is 00:38:52 No, they literally are. Bree and Clint. Oh, my God. What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God. No.
Starting point is 00:38:59 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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?
Starting point is 00:39:30 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
Starting point is 00:39:49 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.
Starting point is 00:40:04 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.
Starting point is 00:40:17 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
Starting point is 00:40:37 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
Starting point is 00:40:53 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?
Starting point is 00:41:02 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.
Starting point is 00:41:27 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.
Starting point is 00:41:47 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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,
Starting point is 00:42:56 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
Starting point is 00:43:15 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,
Starting point is 00:43:32 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!
Starting point is 00:43:50 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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.
Starting point is 00:44:19 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.
Starting point is 00:44:30 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.
Starting point is 00:44:39 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,
Starting point is 00:44:50 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.
Starting point is 00:45:05 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.
Starting point is 00:45:28 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
Starting point is 00:45:51 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?
Starting point is 00:46:06 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.
Starting point is 00:46:16 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.
Starting point is 00:46:27 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.
Starting point is 00:46:43 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?
Starting point is 00:47:12 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?
Starting point is 00:47:30 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
Starting point is 00:47:39 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?
Starting point is 00:47:57 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.
Starting point is 00:48:14 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?
Starting point is 00:48:41 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.
Starting point is 00:48:48 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.
Starting point is 00:48:57 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.
Starting point is 00:49:07 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,
Starting point is 00:49:27 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
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:17 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.
Starting point is 00:50:37 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,
Starting point is 00:50:58 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,
Starting point is 00:51:14 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.
Starting point is 00:51:24 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.
Starting point is 00:51:38 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
Starting point is 00:51:49 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
Starting point is 00:52:12 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.
Starting point is 00:52:34 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.
Starting point is 00:52:43 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.
Starting point is 00:53:01 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,
Starting point is 00:53:19 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.
Starting point is 00:53:30 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.
Starting point is 00:53:43 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?
Starting point is 00:53:54 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,
Starting point is 00:54:09 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,
Starting point is 00:54:22 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.
Starting point is 00:54:40 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?
Starting point is 00:54:51 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.
Starting point is 00:55:02 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
Starting point is 00:55:22 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?
Starting point is 00:55:35 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
Starting point is 00:55:47 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
Starting point is 00:55:55 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?
Starting point is 00:56:05 I think I made down to about nine grand. Oh yeah, okay. Yeah, but you still had the ring so hopefully
Starting point is 00:56:14 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.
Starting point is 00:56:21 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
Starting point is 00:56:34 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?
Starting point is 00:56:50 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.
Starting point is 00:57:05 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.
