Does anyone love Raymond? Isn't the show? Yeah, the show. Do I? Yeah, I think it's an alright show. Oh, because it's called Everybody Loves Raymond. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I don't want to hear that you think it's alright. Does anyone love? I wasn't a fan. No, right? No. Brie? I mean, I related to it quite a lot. Because they're Italian?
Starting point is 00:00:44 Yeah. Right. I thought you were going to it quite a lot. Because they're Italian? Yeah. Right. I thought you were going to say everyone hated me or something. And he marries a non-Italian woman. Hence, that is my family. And the overbearing Italian family on the other side. Look, I'm not going to say. I'm just going to say quite relatable.

Starting point is 00:01:13 Can I just give a bit of a precursor to this podcast? There is something that Clint and I and Ben did to Anastasia that is coming up first.

Starting point is 00:03:26 G'day everybody. Welcome to the show. Bree and Clint. G'day guys. Happy Thursday. I'm so excited for today's show. I'll just get a little bit of admin out of the way first. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:03:36 We're doing Fact of the Day at 4 o'clock. 500 bucks. 500 bucks. And Dee McCarthy's on at 3.30 with the latest on the Free Britney movement. She was in court today for her conservatorship, trying to get free of her dad. He's going to give us the latest from LA at 3.30 on that. Which is exciting. But first up today, we've had a plan in motion for the last three or four weeks,
Starting point is 00:03:57 and finally it has all come together. And this is the real reason I got into radio. Yeah. It's good. As a stitch-up on someone that we care about. Yeah, someone we care about a lot who's new to the show, I got into radio. Yeah. It's good. As a stitch up on someone that we care about. Yeah, someone we care about a lot who's new to the show, producer Anastasia. She's been with us not very long. And to be honest, Clint, she hasn't really had her induction yet.
Starting point is 00:04:16 No, no, she hasn't. No. And we thought today would be the perfect day to induct her into the Brian Clint show with a stitch up. She let slip that she's a huge Miley Cyrus fan. So what we did is we pretended that there was a Miley Cyrus interview and we couldn't make it and she had to do it. Turns out it was a fake Miley. But you'll get to hear how Anastasia dealt with the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Also, you'll get to hear how incredibly convincing our fake Miley is. She's incredible. She's my mate from Australia and at parties she always puts the voice on, and everyone's always like, you sound so much like her. I didn't realise just how much she sounded like her. If this wasn't a prank, we could have easily just pretended that we had Miley on the show today and talked to her. And no one would know.
Starting point is 00:04:58 It's that good. Well, we think it is. How did Anastasia go with her fake Miley Cyrus interview? You can be the judge after this, Brian Clint. Brian Clint. ZM, Brian Clint. That's brand new Miley Cyrus. I like it.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Dropped last week. It's called Midnight Sky. Very good. She's actually doing press at the moment. She is. She was meant to talk to Fletchbourne and Megan this morning. Had to be rescheduled. It's been rescheduled.
Starting point is 00:05:24 But that was the perfect opportunity for us to execute a prank that we've had in the pipeline for a little bit. That's correct. I said to you about three weeks ago, I said, do you know new producer Anastasia loves Miley Cyrus? And you were like, yeah, I've heard her talking about it. Big fan. I said, I've got a friend back home in Aussie.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Her name's Talisha, and she always gets told by people that she sounds a lot like Miley Cyrus. Yeah. So she's worked on her fake Miley Cyrus impression quite a lot. It's her thing. We couldn't get an interview with Miley Cyrus, but you know who we could get an interview with? Who?
Starting point is 00:05:58 My friend Talisha. What do you know? Bree and I pretended that we were all going for the big interview and then five minutes before we were due to be here, we pretended that we got stuck in a COVID checkpoint. It checked out quite a lot, you know, pretty believable. We called Anastasia. Not believable.
Starting point is 00:06:16 No one's been caught in a COVID checkpoint. Yeah, but producer Anastasia is so gullible that she was like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. We asked her to step in for us. Do the interview for us, producer Anastasia's so gullible that she was like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. We asked her to step in for us. Do the interview for us, producer Anastasia. Go into the big leagues and you can do this. You've got this. What you're about to hear is producer Anastasia's interview
Starting point is 00:06:35 with Miley Cyrus, so she thinks. So she thinks. It's actually my friend Talisha. And what you're also going to hear is that fake Miley Cyrus drops a big scoop on her, that the Hannah Montana series is coming back and then the interview turns a little bit south and Miley Cyrus gets a bit gnarky.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Ben, who's in on the gag, will start the interview and then it's all producer Anastasia. Here we go. We're very excited to be joined today by the Miley Cyrus. Hello, Miley. Yes, thank you for having me. Oh, my gosh. Hey, Miley, congratulations on the new single,
Starting point is 00:07:10 Midnight Sky, and the music video that you directed yourself. Where did you, tell us a little bit about where you drew inspiration for this new single from. I really, so Midnight Sky, I like introducing my fans to music they don't know. I always do covers. I love covers. But I wanted to do something my own from the era that I love and not being afraid, just really being unapologetic. It's so cool. And the way that you styled the video And everything was just so cool Like that Chanel outfit
Starting point is 00:07:48 Oh my gosh Did you pick that yourself? Yeah, the video It's me in my most authentic form I feel that it's really special Having a pansexual, bisexual anthem Within the song I'm playing with the gender roles. It just felt
Starting point is 00:08:06 honest and captured my soul. Is there going to be a new album off the back of the song at all? Look, I'm not saying no. She's teasing us. I mean, I am getting some seriously good vibes from you and I do love the seaweeds. My
Starting point is 00:08:22 publicist is probably going to kill me for this. I'm not meant to say anything, but I'm literally on set finishing the reboot of Hannah Montana. And they're announcing it next week. So, like, I mean, what? Hannah's going on some hard times and stumbled into maybe being an exotic dancer. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:08:44 You're not kidding right now. Are you being fully serious? Do you like Hannah Montana? I grew up, like I'm 22 years of age. I grew up, I've followed the whole, everything from Hannah right to now and that is bloody exciting news. I can tell you that.
Starting point is 00:09:00 That is so cool. Miley, we heard a rumour that you might be moving to Australia. Look, I mean, it's probably inappropriate to ask. Look, yeah, there's a lot happening. Yeah, no, no, that's completely understandable. Well, thank you so much for your time. We're absolutely loving the single.
Starting point is 00:09:24 The feedback that we're getting over here in New Zealand is absolutely crazy. And all we can say is that we're bloody excited for what else you're going to be releasing. I'm sure you are. Hey, Anastasia, say hello to my friend, Talisha. Oh, you! Hello!
Starting point is 00:09:45 Hi! Hi! Hi, Anastasia. Hello! What did you think, Anastasia, when fake Miley Cyrus dropped one of the biggest bombshells and told you guys here in New Zealand early that a Hannah Montana remake was coming? And that she's going to be an exotic dancer.
Starting point is 00:10:06 They were my dicks. They were just stoked. I thought we were actually going to interview Miley Cyrus. And as Miley Cyrus would say, she came in like a wrecking ball and truly, truly wrecked you. I'm sorry. Thank you, Talisha. Talk to you later.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Bye. Bye, Miley. See you, Miley. Talk to you later. Bye. Bye, Miley. See you, Miley. Bye. Oh, my God. You got it, Anastasia. It's pretty convincing. Miley or my amazing interview?
Starting point is 00:10:38 No, you did really well. I said bloody like 20 times. Yeah, you nailed it. You were unappreciated. There's no shame in falling for that Miley impression, I don't think. I think it was spot on. I think it was pretty damn good. I was also surprised with now that, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:50 when something like this happens, you realise on all the cues that you should have picked up on. Yeah. Like producer Ben, who can sometimes be a very frantic person, just casually going, oh, yeah, we'll interview one of the biggest stars in the world. No worries. Hey, Anastasia, new girl, you've been here two minutes.
Starting point is 00:11:06 You do the interview. There's a video coming, it's very good. Oh my God. Brianne Clint, this is it. Oh my God, it's Miley Cyrus. Brianne Clint. Look, COVID, hashtag COVID, oh bloody COVID, wreaking havoc on all sorts of things at the moment.
Starting point is 00:11:21 But some businesses are booming. Some businesses. Hand sanitiser. Hand sanitiser businesses booming. moment, but some businesses are booming. Some businesses- Hand sanitiser. Hand sanitiser businesses booming. Soap. Soap businesses booming. Mask businesses booming, yeah. Certain things, you know.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Lockdown has really been the making of these things. And there's one particular item which they're reporting it's boom time. People who produce this particular thing can't produce enough of them at the moment to keep up with the demand. And I think you're going to fully agree with this. And you'll be like, hell yeah, it's this product's time to shine.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Okay. The product is track pants. I saw this and I thought it's about time tracksuit pants got the credit they deserve. And they are. They are being worn by literally everybody. Kim Kardashian wearing track pants. Great. A Vogue editor, Anna Wintour.
Starting point is 00:12:12 No. Wearing track pants. No. Yes, well, she's wearing $600 track pants. Still? Do they have a drawstring? Yes, they're red cotton track pants with a white stripe down the side. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's her sitting inside her house. She's got sunglasses on inside her house, but she's also got track pants with a white stripe down the side. That's amazing. Her sitting inside her house. She's got sunglasses on inside her house, but she's also got track pants on. If you don't know who that is, Anna Wintour was based on the character in Devil Wears Prada that Meryl Streep plays. The character was based on her. The character was based on her, sorry.
Starting point is 00:12:37 She's a real person. Yeah, she's actually real. Very fancy. She's arguably the most powerful person in fashion. Absolutely. And she's wearing track pants. You know that tracksuit pants are in if she's wearing them. So it's time to buy some more track pants.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I've been perusing some different track pants available. Okay. And some prices. And I'd like you to decide which pair you would like. Because you can pay too much for anything. You can. Like $600, that's crazy. That's crazy talk.
Starting point is 00:13:02 So let's start with a pair of cotton-on gym tracksuit pants. I have a pair of cotton-on tracksuit pants. $21. Not bad, right? They're real comfortable too. Golf a bit. I wear these. Eddie Das three-stripe track pants.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Love the three-stripe. The classics. Black with three white stripes. Rebel Sport is selling those for $89. You can't go wrong with those. They're never going to go out of fashion. They'll last you a lifetime. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Hand them down to your kids. Then we't go wrong with those. They're never going to go out of fashion. They'll last you a lifetime. Yep. Hand them down to your kids. Then we step up a bit more. New Zealand fashion label I Love Ugly. Yes. They make those real carrot-y looking ones. The carrot ones. You know the carrot look where it's like real skinny at the ankle? And tight ankle.
Starting point is 00:13:36 And then low crotch. Oh, yes. $119 for their track pants. That's getting up there. Getting up there, yeah. But if they're comfortable. Lululemon have a pair of track pants. Does Lululemon make tracksuit pants?
Starting point is 00:13:48 Everybody's making tracksuit pants. Lululemon have a pair of on-the-fly joggers for $149. That'd be real comfy though. And then this is what you and producer Anastasia love, the Anina Bing label. Yes, Anina. You can get a pair of Anina Bings
Starting point is 00:14:05 for, um, what? Anina Bing. Is it Anine Bing? I think it's... Anine Bing? Anine. Bing. Anine Bing. Let's just go with Bing. Let's go with Bing. You can get a pair of Bings, white joggers,
Starting point is 00:14:20 for $349. But you love that brand. No. You love some Bing track pants. I buy my Bing stuff off eBay when someone's already worn it. Right. Then I think I've found the pair of track pants for you and the pair for me. And you can pick this pair up from New Zealand's leading fashion retailer,
Starting point is 00:14:39 The Warehouse, $12. Perfect. Perfect. Lock it in. Black track pants. Doesn't matter what you drop on them. Brian Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, yesterday we were talking about Brittany trying to get her dad off her conservatorship and there's been some results. Yeah, today they've had the first hearing. It was a very private hearing. There were a lot of fans outside the courthouse in Los Angeles, including the guy she married for 55 hours in Vegas. Remember him? He was there out the front. And today, unfortunately, yeah, nothing has changed in terms of the conservatorship. Nothing has changed. I know, but I think they are going to
Starting point is 00:15:24 now take it to a judge and they were hoping that there would be some kind of wriggle room and some movement today, but literally nothing has changed as, you know, the defence. I don't even know if that's the right word. The team representing, you know, the conservatorship team are saying that she's just not fit enough or well enough to manage her affairs.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Right. And they say that this not only controls and keeps her finances in check, they actually said this keeps her life in check as well. Well, even if they don't give it, you know, total control back to her, take it off her dad because he's no good for her either. Yeah, but who do you give it to? That's the problem, I think. That's what they, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:00 What about Jamie Lynn? What's she doing these days? You want her to take over? I don't know. Yeah, what's she up to? The mum or the sister? The sister. So the mum, not the sister.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I don't know where the sister is, actually. What I do know is the brother came out saying that this has been very controlling. And the mum, Brittany's mum, is trying to become a part of the conservatorship team so that she can view Brittany's medical results and have say over Britney's doctors. Britney Spears right now does not have say over who her doctor is. That's wild. That's insane. What is the relationship like with her mum?
Starting point is 00:16:33 What happened? She's close with her mum. Yeah, the mum and the dad have a really, really intense negative relationship and they don't talk or anything like that. And that's why the mum has not been across any of Brittany's financials or medicals or anything, had no say or visibility over anything. And where's Kayfid? Where's Kayfid in all of this?
Starting point is 00:16:52 What's he doing? Was he outside the court today? He wasn't there today. He, you may know, last year quadrupled his spousal support from $5,000 a month to $20,000 a month when she made so much money from the Vegas show. He's just a money-hungry man. Oh, he wants it. I thought you meant he was paying more.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Oh, right. No, he's taking it. I thought KV might be the hero in this story. Quadrupled. Oh, bummer. When was ever KV the hero? All right, thanks, Dean. That is the latest with Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent,
Starting point is 00:17:24 live out of LA. Thanks to the Huawei Y6P phone. Charging on with the Huawei Y6P ultra-large battery. One of my all-time biggest dreams as a kid was to go to the Willy Wonka factory. Does it exist? Well, I don't think it exists, but after watching that movie... I see what you mean.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I always wanted to go to that room where everything was made of chocolate chocolate or candy i always wanted to go to the jurassic park island i only watched the first half of the movie though yeah so yeah you probably spoilers no spoilers yeah don't tell me i haven't seen it um but i can't believe i'm about to say this but this is actually real life something has happened in a place in Switzerland or near Switzerland called Alton and they've actually had chocolate rain. And snow. Really? This is true. Yesterday they confirmed, the company confirmed, the
Starting point is 00:18:24 Lint company, that after a ventilation system malfunctioned, the town of Alton had fine cacao powder snowing down on it. Lindt chocolate is so good. It is so good. Actual chocolate rain. I thought you were going to say some horrific brown sludge that's coming down on the city, which would be the perfect outcome for 2020 if that was the answer.
Starting point is 00:18:50 But no, it's actually chocolate dust. It was fragments of cacao nibs and bits and pieces, and it was like a light dusting over everything. Right. And people were like, what is going on? Hmm. Magical for a day. And then I imagine when the ants show up.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Not ideal. Bit of a nightmare. There was one person. Because how do you get chocolate dust off your roof? Well, the company said that apparently a few cars got lightly dusted and they offered to clean them. Yeah. You know, they'd pay the costs. If that was my car, I'd say, uh-uh, you back up.
Starting point is 00:19:25 You would lick your car, don't you? I'm going to lick my car clean. Well, if your car had been through a car wash recently, it'd be a good idea. But your car at the moment. No. You'd be having to figure out which was chocolate, what was mud. I'd lick and I'd be like, that's a bug.
Starting point is 00:19:38 What's cacao? What's road dirt? That's a piece of hair. Yeah, right. But, I mean, what a cool experience to be like, it is literally snowing chocolate. Yeah, nice to have a nice headline this year, actually. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Chocolate rain. How good? Oh, you should have got the chocolate rain song. What's chocolate rain? You know, chocolate rain. I think it was like more chocolate snow. Some stay warm while others feel the pain. Chocolate rain.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Sounds very relevant for our audience. I think it was the first video that went on YouTube. Pretty crazy new rule that apparently is taking place over in Germany where they're trying to bring in a rule that if you don't take your dog for a walk twice a day, you will be fined. Twice a day? Yeah. I've never had a dog, so I don't know how often they have to be walked.
Starting point is 00:20:31 But I thought that was a once a day thing. At least once a day. I think, to be honest, it depends on the type of breed. Yeah. Like some need more exercise, some don't need as much. But, yeah, they're saying that you need to take your dog for a walk twice a day. Legally. Or else.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Right. Yeah. Maybe that's just to get the population exercising. Maybe that's a trick for that. But you say it's a type of dog. There's only two types of dog in Germany. What's that? German Shepherd.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yes. Sausage dog. You know, they're the two most popular breeds in Germany. 100%. Yeah. German Shepherd, it's in the name. Yes. Like if there was a,
Starting point is 00:21:05 if there was, that makes perfect sense. Yeah, if there was a dog called a Kiwi dog, everyone would have it. We'd all have it. It'd be super popular.
Starting point is 00:21:14 And then Sausage Dog or Dachshund. Dachshund. Yeah. Yeah. Sausage Dog. Second most popular. It would be very hard
Starting point is 00:21:22 to enforce that rule. Especially if your dog didn't want to go for the second walk. Yeah, right. Imagine the cops are like, excuse me, seriously, the dog's tired. The dog's over it.
Starting point is 00:21:30 He's had a big day. Yeah, especially a sausage dog. They don't like to walk that much. Quite vicious, sausage dogs. They can be quite aggressive, yeah. This made me think, because we always see people walking their dogs. Not unusual at all.
Starting point is 00:21:44 So if you saw someone walking it twice a day, pretty normal. What if they brought in a rule where you had to walk your cats? Walk your cats? Yeah, you had to walk your cats at least once a day. There's someone who owns two cats. Have you ever put them on a leash? Tried to when they were new. Why did you try?
Starting point is 00:22:05 Just in case. Just in case. Because if they were walking cats, you'd want to know. Is there such thing? Yeah, there is Maine Coons. You can walk a Maine Coon or so I've heard. Also, there's a cat in our neighbourhood that gets walked. It loves it.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Well, it doesn't love it. Does it love it? It's in the town centre and it's on a leash. And when you see that person walking that cat, do you think, that's normal? It's beside the town centre and it's on a leash. And when you see that person walking that cat, do you think, that's normal? It's beside the point, okay? They've got a little hat out for collecting money and they're like... What?
Starting point is 00:22:33 Yeah, the cat's like an attraction. A celebrity. Yeah, but the cat seems chill about it. So all I'm saying is some cats can be walked. So if you want to ask people this afternoon, do you walk your cat? That's what I want to ask. I do believe that we will get some calls. I want to ask people this afternoon do you walk your cat? That's what I want to ask. I do believe that we will get
Starting point is 00:22:45 some calls. I want to know from people. Are you walking your cat regularly? I want to know if you took it for a walk one time. I've followed you to the dairy. I want to know do you take your cat on regular walks on a leash? Or off a leash.
Starting point is 00:23:01 If your cat regularly walks with you off the leash. There's no law that you have to have a cat leashed. There isn't. No. I told you about that time I saw this guy at a cafe and he had a cat with a harness and the cat was having a cat chino. You see, that's good gear. I mean, especially if you're single.
Starting point is 00:23:18 If you had a cat on a leash. Actually, I think it depends. I don't think it would be getting you girls. Is that what the ladies are looking for? All right. Oh, Andrew dials in him. Do you walk your cat? On a leash or off a leash.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Or off a leash. Or you can text us on 9696. Free in Clint. New rule over in Germany to take place where people are going to be forced to take their dogs for a walk twice a day. Do we know why they're doing that? I think it's something to do with the dog's needs. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I don't know. I'm not sure. It's probably just to scare people out of getting a dog if they're not going to care for it properly. Yeah, maybe. Which, I mean, not all breeds need as much exercise as others, but I just don't know how they're going to enforce that. Do they put microchips in all the dogs so they can track them?
Starting point is 00:24:01 All the dogs have to wear a Fitbit. Yeah. And they'll check the dog's steps once a day and if it hasn't hit 10,000. A dig bit. Yeah, yeah. A dig bit. If it hasn't hit its steps for the day, then that dog gets sent to prison. Maybe that's how they do it.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I don't know how they're going to do it. The dog goes to prison. Anyway, we're not talking about dogs now. No, because everyone walks their dog. Well, we hope you do, but does anyone walk a cat? That's what we want to know. Who's leashing the cat up and taking it for a walk? Look, we haven't had a lot of correspondence from people on this topic.
Starting point is 00:24:34 No, we've had a bit. Yeah, it's not popping off, though. It hasn't blown the circuit board. But Kate's here. Hi, Kate. Hi, Kate. Hiya. Are you a cat walker?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Not quite. So, I go for walks with the dog and the cat follows us. The whole way? He tries to keep up. He can't always keep up the whole way, so he ends up
Starting point is 00:24:59 like he meows because he can't keep up. Oh, cute. Alright, do you count that? Is that't keep up. Yeah. Oh, cute. All right. Do you count that? Is that a cat walk? You're looking for something. I'm looking for. It's good, Kate. Thank you for contributing.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I'm looking for someone. You're looking for like a pure leashed up cat. Who's harnessing the cat up. Yeah, right. That's fair enough. I do have a bunny that I tried to walk once. See, now that's good, Kate. I like that.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Okay. Sean, are you a cat walker? I wouldn't say I'm a cat walk once. See how that's good, Kate. I like that. Okay, Sean, are you a cat walker? I wouldn't say I'm a cat walker. We have a German shepherd called Winter. That's a dog. We take her for a walk.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Oh, yeah. And the cat tends to follow us. Right, so same as Kate. Yeah. But you don't harness the cat up? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I don't think I'd be able to. And the cat eventually goes home, doesn't it? Doesn't do the whole walk? No, no. Does the whole don't think I'd be able to. And the cat eventually goes home, doesn't it? Doesn't do the whole walk? No, no. Does the whole walk. Okay, alright. Well, you're closer to what we want, okay? You're the... Fit cat. You're the leading cat walker so far.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Emma, you're a cat walker. I am a cat walker. How often? Probably about once a week. I've got a little bingle. Yeah. We used to try to put a leash on him in a harness, but he used to wriggle out of it, but he loves to go on a walk. But he likes, okay.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Emma, I need to ask. So you've got the leash and the harness on the cat. You're walking the cat. Do you get weird looks from people? I get weird looks with or without the leash and the harness. Yeah. It's pretty weird taking a cat for a walk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:26 But he's very active. It's known to their breed to go for walks and stuff like that. Yeah. And he loves it. Yeah, right. Okay, and Bengals are an interesting cat too. I'm actually, like, I'm amazed and impressed. Tim's here.
Starting point is 00:26:38 He doesn't have a cat that he walks, but it's also not a dog. Tim, what are you walking? Oh, no, Tim. I walk an eastern water dragon. Right, okay. What? You, wait, wait, Tim. Tim, you harness or leash up
Starting point is 00:26:53 the dragon? Yes. Yep. Oh my god, that's amazing. So when you get home, like Cisco, you would have to unleash the dragon? A little bit, yeah. Yeah, right. Okay, that's fascinating. And you're talking, you're walking out on the streets. You're taking a bearded dragon for a walk on the streets.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Yeah, he loves going to the park and going for a wee run, yeah. Do you ever, like, do people stop you and go, what kind of breed of dog is that? I get stopped about every five metres of my walk for people wanting to take photos. Yeah, right. I bet. Does your bearded dragon sniff other bearded dragons' butts
Starting point is 00:27:26 when it's out on its walk? Maybe if I found one, it might want to. Yeah, right. Okay, that's fascinating. That is so interesting. Now you're the closest we've got. It's not a cat, but it's a bearded dragon on a leash. Let's take it home with Victoria.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Hi, Victoria. We're looking for a cat walker on a leash. Do you fit the bill? Yes. My cat has a harness and a leash. And every time I get home, he gets, like, if you don't take him for a walk, he gets very aggressive. So you need to take him for a walk every day, every day. Yep, because he's got one eye.
Starting point is 00:27:59 He's not allowed outside by himself. So he goes out on a leash. So he needs to get out and have a walk. I think we got it. Yep. I think, Victoria, you've ticked it off for us. Do you ever take the cat down to the cafe for a catacino? I do take him to the coffee shop.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Bree and Clint. To be honest, I don't think we need to do a morale boosting request. I think that's it. That's some brand new MNEK and Joel Corey. It's called Head and Heart. Love it. We do do this every day. We're looking for a morale boosting request to bring New Zealand up,
Starting point is 00:28:33 you know, lift the mood of the nation. And we want it to be requested by you guys. We will decide. Bree, myself, and our impartial judge, Brett. G'day, Brett. Hello, Brett. Hey. Hey, how you going? impartial judge, Brett. G'day, Brett. Hello, Brett. Hey, how you going? How you going, man?
Starting point is 00:28:47 Good, man. How are you? Good. Are you ready to be an impartial judge? You are impartial, right? You're not in a band? Oh, nah. You're not a member of U2 or something calling up to get your song on?
Starting point is 00:28:59 I gave up One Direction when we lost Harry. Oh, fair enough. Yeah, fair enough. Good move, I think. Whereabouts in New Zealand are you, Brad? On Kapiti Coast. All right, all right, all right. Okay, we've got six suggestions today,
Starting point is 00:29:13 and we'll all cast our vote at the end. First morale-boosting request could be Uncle Cracker. Follow me, everything is all right. I'll change. It's good. It's just the right amount of hillbilly, you know? Just the right amount, I think. I love that song.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Or real old school, the Pina Colada song. If you like Pina Coladas, get caught in the rain. This is good. It's a song about a guy who wants to cheat on his wife. Yeah, but don't say that. No, but she wants to cheat on his wife. Yeah, but don't say that because it ruins it. No, but she wants to cheat on him too. Oh, that's right. And then they find out that they love each other
Starting point is 00:29:49 because they both wanted to cheat. Spoiler alert. So cheating brings them together. Will Smith is an option today. Turn around now. From what was the movie? Hitch, that switch. Or from Hitch, that's Switch. Or from Shrek, Smash Mouth.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Also a great song. That's a great song. Vanessa Amorosi. This is a morale booster. This is a morale booster This is a tune She's making a comeback In the last 12 months Is she?
Starting point is 00:30:30 Yeah Right Or we go full bogan Pretend you're at the Bog Irish Bar in Christchurch And just let it rip. Love that song. Okay, it's got to be one of those.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Brett, do you have a feeling you know what you want to vote for? Oh, man, I just love a pina colada, eh? You love a pina colada. I'm a pina colada type of guy. Okay. Do you want to lock in pina colada? Oh, lock it in. More than Uncle Cracker.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I love that song. Oh, I just sing it every day. Okay. Every day. Brett's passionate. He's keen on the pina Colada? Oh, lock it in. More than Uncle Cracker. I live for that song. Oh, I just sing it every day. Okay. Every day. Jesus is passionate. He's keen on the Pina Colada. Okay, Brie, you need to vote. No, you vote.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I will... If I vote, then your vote's redundant. Well, I was voting for Pina Colada too, so... Oh, right. Well, then we're all in unison. Then we're fine. I was about to say that, and then your vote wouldn't have mattered. But if it does, then it does.
Starting point is 00:31:29 That's what I was voting for. Hey, Brett. Yeah? Congrats, man. You just picked the morale-boosting song of the day to bring the mood of the country up. Have a great Friday, Friday, eh? You're a great Friday, Friday.
Starting point is 00:31:42 See you, Brett. I was tired of my lady. We'd been together too long. See you, Brent. And in the personal columns, there was this letter I read. If you like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain. If you like making love at midnight, In the dunes of the Cape Then I'm the love that you've looked for Right to me and escape I didn't think about my lady I know that sounds kind of mean
Starting point is 00:32:54 But me and my old lady Have fallen into the same old dope routine So I wrote to the paper Took out a personal ad. And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad. Yes, I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health food. I am into champagne
Starting point is 00:33:26 I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon And cut through all this red tape At a bar called O'Malley's Where we'll plan our escape So I waited with high hopes And she walked in the place I knew her smile in an instant I knew the curve of her face It was my own lovely lady
Starting point is 00:34:09 And she said, oh, it's you And we laughed for a moment And I said, I never knew That you liked pina coladas And getting caught in the rain And the feel of the ocean And the taste of champagne If you like making love at midnight
Starting point is 00:34:36 In the dunes of the Cape You're the lady I've looked for Come with me and escape See, did you listen to the words? He wanted to cheat on her And then he met her because he thought that his wife wasn't into the things that he was into So he put up an ad and found someone who was into what he is into And then they met up and it was his wife all along.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Oh, my God. All I heard. I want a tasty drink. It's a cocktail. It does make you feel like a pina colada. Yeah. You're right. It's dual purchase.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Vanessa Amorosi would have been good too. Anyway, that's the morale boosting request. 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. If we sound like your type on paper,

Listen to The Front Page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Brie and Clint. I'm all a fluster because Brie's gone global. She's breaking news.
Starting point is 00:36:39 If you live on the globe and you follow the news, you may have already seen this. I may be the last person to tell you this, but something that you've done has caught the world's media's attention. I think you're blowing this up
Starting point is 00:36:52 a little bit. You think I'm blowing it up? It's been reported in the Daily Mail. Such a reputable news service. Daily Mail UK by the way, the real Daily Mail. It's been reported nationwide on Australian news media. And I'll play you a little bit of it right here.
Starting point is 00:37:08 This is Brie going viral in the news world at the moment. An Aussie woman made this discovery. Have a look. So, you know the little plastic tags you find on the top of bread? Did you know that those coincide with the day that it was baked on? What? I never knew that. So each colour tag corresponds to the day of the week the bread was baked.
Starting point is 00:37:32 So you can determine the absolute freshness of your bread. That is going to lead to a lot of bread being left on the shelf once people figure that out. Oh, my God. Listen to the old guy in the background of that club. His mind's melting. Oh, my God. Listen to the old guy in the background of that club. His mind's melting. Oh, my God. This is the biggest news story I've ever heard. We broke that news months ago on our show.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Months ago. Catch up, world's news media. Couple of things. Is this how we get news now? We just go on TikTok and find something that someone's done and go make it front page news. That's what everything on the news is now. and find something that someone's done and go make it front page news. That's what everything on the news is now.
Starting point is 00:38:11 A local girl from Missouri on TikTok does this. Breaking news, two corgis can talk. We saw it on TikTok. Yeah, so you did do it ages ago. They've just grabbed it off your TikTok. I had so many people messaging me back home in Aussie being like, you know you're on the TV right now? Didn't even know.
Starting point is 00:38:32 But we shouldn't be too critical because any promotion is good promotion, especially when you're in the attention-hungry industry that we're in. So we have reached out to news media. No, nothing yet. We've reached out to news media here in New Zealand. We've actually offered the scoop to our friends at Seven Sharp first. I love that show. And we've contacted Hilary and Jeremy and said,
Starting point is 00:38:53 do you want the New Zealand exclusive on the Australian bread tag girl? Producer Ben, any word back from TVNZ publicity on whether they're interested yet? Yeah, we have heard. Yes. Not interested. Okay. All right. Which I thought was weird.
Starting point is 00:39:05 I guess some things are just better on TikTok. Anyway, if anyone wants the scoop, she's available. News Hub. Herald, anyone? Anyone? Free and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. It's our movie guessing game where you go head to head with Bree to see if you know more about movies than she does. Had a bad week last week and everything came crashing down. The prize pool jackpots every week that you win.
Starting point is 00:39:56 And last week you were going for 12 in a row. We were at $550. Your goal is $1,000, which will be 20 weeks. And you blew it. You crumbled on the big stage. Well, I didn't even get one. You lost 2-0. It was terrible.
Starting point is 00:40:11 That's all it takes. So, I know you won $1,000, and now the question is, is there enough weeks left in the year for you to achieve that? Should I even bother? I've had producer Ben crunch the numbers. Ben,
Starting point is 00:40:22 does Bree actually have the ability to get back to a $1,000 prize pool before we leave for Christmas? Before we leave for Christmas, we have 19 weeks. You need a 20. Which means we can get to 9.50. Are you joking? And that's assuming that we don't have any time off
Starting point is 00:40:39 between now and Christmas. True, but a week off does mean more mobile fuel. That is the rules now. Oh, that rule's BS. True, that's good. What it does mean if you can hold on for the rest is the rules now. Oh, that rule's BS. Yeah, true. That's good. What it does mean if you can hold on for the rest of the year is we'll start the new year with $1,000. That's true.
Starting point is 00:40:51 But it also means that no one wins any prizes for the rest of the year. Yeah, that's not true. So on with Snappy. Hi, Snappy. G'day. Oh, what a mate. How are we? Schnee, schnei, snappy.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Snappy. Snappy, snappy, schnop. Snappy, snappy, schnop. Schnappy, snappy. You're going to take Brionne in ournop. Snappy, snappy, schnop. Schnappy, snappy. You're going to take Brionne in our movie guessing game, The Thing This Week, Tom Cruise movies. Movies starring Tom Cruise. He's never a supporting actor.
Starting point is 00:41:18 He's always the main actor. So that should help you with this, actually. Okay? I will start reading movie plots. When you think you know what it is, buzz in with your name. Don't wait for me to finish the plot. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Best of three. Movie number one. When a US government operative and his... Brie. Brie. Mission Impossible. Mission Impossible is... Correct.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yes! Took a gamble. She's out the blocks with a win. She's on form today. She's on form today. It was a bad omen last week when she didn't start with a win. You never come back well. Because then your back's against the ropes.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Schnappi, your back is against the ropes. We need you to get this next one to stay in the game. Good luck. See you, brother. Movie number two. Nathan is an American hired by the emperor to train... Brie. Brie.
Starting point is 00:42:16 The Last Samurai. The Last Samurai. Is correct. Yeah! Sorry, Snappy. I've come back bigger and better. No, no, don't be sorry, mate. Just get on, smash them, bro.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Love it. Thank you, Snappy. You knew that one, didn't you, Snappy? Oh, I did. I was about to say Bree instead of Snappy. I would have accepted it. If you buzzed in with your name, I would have taken it. Oh, well, not this week.
Starting point is 00:42:47 We'll be back next week. We'll play for $100 of free mobile fuel and watch the plot. She's back. She's back. Brie and Clint. Did your proposal go horribly wrong? Because, I mean, we always hear the good stories and it was magical and I planned it for months and it all turned out really well. You know, I'm posting the photo of their finger without a ring on it.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah. Going, I said no. Well, Beyonce wrote a song about it. But this story probably takes the cake, I think. There's a guy who has spoken out about how his proposal ended in him losing his house. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. It's pretty full on, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:43:27 Yeah. The guy's name was Albert. He was 26. He spent a number of weeks meticulously planning the perfect proposal. He bought his girlfriend a ring. He was all set up. He decided he was going to use 100 tea lights and 60 balloons to transform their home in the UK to spell out marry me with the candles.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Oh, he's gone full Kanye on it. Yeah. So he had bottles of champagne. All the candles were lit, all done, ready to go. He didn't really think about, you know, leaving the candles unattended when he went to pick up his girlfriend. Oh no, he's burned the house down. He came back.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Oh no. To the house fully ablaze. Was completely engulfed. Yeah. Fire crews rocked up, police, the whole house burned down. Yeah. But that didn't stop him. He still went for it. He still decided.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Shoot your shot. That he was going to get down on one knee, which he did amid the flames, and she said yes. Oh, she did say yes? She said yes. Okay, that's, oh, wow. So it could have been, you know, it could have been really bad. It could have been really bad.
Starting point is 00:44:42 She said no. Yeah. He's got a great story. He had to propose in that moment. Can you imagine? He had to. He had to seize the opportunity because it's a fantastic story. Telling their kids what happened.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Pretty crazy story. Dad, tell us a story about why we live under a bridge again. Yeah. Well, son, it all began when I decided to marry your mother. Right. Yeah, I would say regardless of the fact that the house burnt down, good result. Still a happy day.
Starting point is 00:45:08 He got what he wanted. Yeah. Because houses are temporary. Wives are forever. Most of the time. Hopefully. Most of the time. If you do it right.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Yeah. If you don't burn them down too. We could take some calls this afternoon from people who said no to a wedding proposal. I want to know from people because you don't ever hear those stories. No. Because people keep them on the down low. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:32 You know, I'm not telling my friends if someone proposes to me and I've said no. Yeah. Well, the person who proposes is probably not telling their friends that they said no. No, absolutely not. But you can tell us. Do you want to call us this afternoon and share your story
Starting point is 00:45:48 of when you said no to a proposal? Or if you're really game, did they say no? You proposed and they said no. Yeah. Maybe it worked out eventually. Maybe you were like, no, those aren't that good. Are they that good? What, when they work out?
Starting point is 00:46:03 You're like, no, not right now. Nah. Nah. I just want a straight no. I know someone who proposed and the person replied with, no, I won't marry you, but I will break up with you. Yeah. They were on such different wavelengths.
Starting point is 00:46:17 No. He was thinking, let's get married. She was thinking, let's break up. And they found out at the proposal. Oh, that's even worse. Yeah. But I guess if they're saying no, that's usually a good sign. It's pretty good sign, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:30 0800 dials at M. Did you say no to a proposal? You can text us on 9696 and you can remain anonymous if you'd like. Brianne Clint. Guy has spent a number of weeks planning the engagement. He's put all the candles up in the house. He's went to pick up his girlfriend. He's come back.
Starting point is 00:46:48 The house is ablaze, completely burnt down the house. He still decided to propose and she said yes. So it could have been worse. She could have said no. Yeah. Which is what we're asking this afternoon. Like, have you ever thought about those people? Because obviously it would happen.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Is it the worst thing in the world when someone says no Or when you say no It'd be a pretty horrible feeling I imagine it's horrible because if you're at that point Where you're ready to propose You've decided this is my person forever And when they say no you go Man I really read the room wrong
Starting point is 00:47:17 Yeah that'd be a lot to take in wouldn't it Producer Anastasia has a story from someone Who's contacted us but doesn't want to come on air Yeah Yeah, she's a little bit worried about her voice being recognised, which is fine. It's alright. What did she say? So she said that she's been proposed to three times. Whoa! And yeah, yeah, and every single time in the moment she's said yes, and then shortly after, just to avoid embarrassment and stuff, I guess, and then shortly after she tells them, no, it's not going to work out but every single time
Starting point is 00:47:45 which is quite cool she's kept the ring every time she kept the ring yeah who is she Thanos just out here collecting precious stones I don't know is she in relationships or running a business look it might be you know she might have bills to pay I don't know yeah right fascinating well she she's obviously a catch if she's been proposed to three times. Our first caller is a female who wants to remain anonymous. Anonymous number one, who said no? Well, I got wind of the fact that the question was going to be asked while we were away on holiday.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yeah. Okay. And I definitely did not want to marry him. So we ended up not going on holiday. Yeah. Okay. So, and I definitely did not want to marry him. Yeah. So, we ended up not going on holiday. So, I pulled the pin before we went away. Oh, you headed it off. Anonymous, how did you pretty much avoid going on the holiday because you knew he was going
Starting point is 00:48:36 to propose? What did you do? Yeah. Yeah, well, in the end, like, my flatmate had sort of, I'd been talking to her and said I wasn't that happy and I was sort of thinking I'll just go away on holiday and then sort of break up when we got back. Yeah. And she said, well, actually, I know that he's bought the ring
Starting point is 00:48:50 and he's going to ask you while you're away. Oh, no. So I broke up with him before we left. Yeah, you had to do it. Good friend award for letting you know. Because it's, I mean, good for both of you because then he avoids embarrassment as well. You don't want to be stuck in a different country with someone who's just said no to you.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Not ideal. So that was a mercy killing what you did there. That was, it had to be done. Anonymous number two is also female. Hello, anonymous number two. Hello. Who said no? I said no.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Oh, no. Tell us what happened. So we'd only been together for a couple of months and we were just snuggled up in bed one night. And he said, will you marry me? And I was no. Oh, no. Tell us what happened. So we'd only been together for a couple of months, and we were just snuggled up in bed one night, and he said, will you marry me? And I was like, no, like thinking he was full on joking. Yeah. And so he just kind of brushed it off, and we stayed together.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Yeah. We were together for about two years, and when we broke up, I said to him, were you being serious about that? And he said, yeah, I was dead serious. Oh, whoa. Two months is very quick, isn't it? Did he propose any more times over the two-year period? No, he didn't.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Oh, so he got the hint. He got the message. Yeah. He got the message, I wasn't quite ready for that. Yeah, right. No one's ready after two months. Yeah, that's very quick, isn't it? Except for, like, grandparents who they met once
Starting point is 00:50:00 and then the next day he showed up with a ring. Those stories always weird me out. They're cute though. Yeah, but I always think that people in the wartime just made it work. I'm like, yeah, I'm sure by the end you loved each other. But there must have been moments where you were like, oh, if it wasn't for this damn Great Depression, I'd be out there. Playing the field.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Hooking up with dudes. Anonymous number three, who said no? Oh, hi. My boyfriend at three Who said no? Oh hi My boyfriend at the time Said no Wait You proposed Love that

Starting point is 00:50:52 Is that right, Anonymous? Absolutely. And we've been together for eight years. So, yeah, I felt like the time was right. It's a long time, yeah. Any time soon. So he said no. And his reason was we were too young at the time.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Yeah. And we wanted to wait. And a few months later, I'd given up and we broke up. Yeah. And a couple of months after that, he has a new girlfriend and proposes to further. Shut the front door. Oh, my God. No.
Starting point is 00:51:21 You dodged a bullet then, Anonymous. He left you on the shelf for eight years and then got engaged straight away in the next relationship. He obviously wasn't meant to be. Oh, that would grate me. That would really wind me up. Oh, no, no. It was the best thing that happened to me.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Yeah, better off. You're better off because he obviously didn't want to commit. God, Anonymous, your story's going to scare women out of proposing. They're going to go, what? No, sorry. Didn't go well for her. Can I say, What an amazing thing Like good for you

Starting point is 00:52:17 So I wonder what happened. And the last one he must have just said, they're married. He said my husband. Yeah, so he must have just gone, well, either that or dad. What about the one where she said, my mum said no to my dad when he asked.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Mum said she was too drunk and to ask again when she's sobered up if he's still keen. No, that's a good reason. No, I like that. That's good. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Three and Clint's birthday.

Starting point is 01:00:03 Number two. Here in New Zealand. Second biggest song in the country. What's number one? Savage Love. Oh yeah. Anyway, work in progress. I want to play it. Okay, that bit's a bit full on.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brie and Clint. You know what excites me? What, drip down the side of me. Okay, that bit's a bit full on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brie and Clint. You know what excites me? What, Brie? Vending machines. Especially in times like this, you know, when we go into lockdown. Because you know who's always there. Who?
Starting point is 01:00:35 Doesn't close. Who? Vending machines. You know what excites me about vending machines? What? The one at our works now got PayWave. I know, it's so good. And you can PayWave your phone.
Starting point is 01:00:45 So if you've got Apple Pay or Android Pay on your phone, you just hold your phone up to it, unlock your phone, and you can pay for it with your phone. Well, you're going to be excited about this because over in Colorado and Massachusetts, they're rolling out a brand new type of vending machine. Oh, I know what this is going to be. Do you know?
Starting point is 01:01:04 I think I do. They're rolling out what they're calling Anna, which is a tricked out weed vending machine. Yeah, as soon as you said Colorado, I knew it was going to be. So they've called the vending machine Anna, and it's designed to take and fill orders for marijuana products, meaning customers can purchase items like flour, edibles, vape oils without having to actually interact with anyone.
Starting point is 01:01:32 We should ask Chloe Swarbrick if we're going to get weed vending machines. Yeah, I think one step at a time. I looked into quite interesting because you have to still provide ID, obviously. How do they make that work? I think you actually have to scan it. I've always wondered how ID works in the online shopping age because you can get booze delivered to your house now and all you have to do is click, yes, I am 18.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I know. And the computer just trusts you. Does it? Well, I don't know. I've ordered booze. We don't condone that. No, no, no, definitely not. I was thinking, I wonder if these weed vending machines,
Starting point is 01:02:13 like if they're two birds, one stone, if they're, you know, weed on one side and then, you know, food on the other side. It'd be the most popular vending machine ever. They should put the weed next to the chips. Yeah. And you just key it in. And you just buy everything all at once in one place. Maybe. Depends how the referendum goes. Well, well, well.
Starting point is 01:02:36 If it isn't the return of well news. I've been missing well news. How creepy is an old well, by the way? We used to have them on our property, and I remember just staring clear of it, just because of all the stories you hear. I've been scared of wells ever since that Simpsons episode when Bart gets lost down the well.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Fell down the well. Yeah. That's right. He was faking it with a radio, and then no one came to save him, because they were like, oh, it's the boy who cried well. I'm not well down the well. Anyway, um, a ancient well has been uncovered in Invercargill at the bottom of the South Island. An ancient well.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Well, ancient as far as New Zealand's concerned. So, 1990. No, well, you say that, but you've been to Invercargill. It's bloody old down there. No, it is, it is. So I'm going to say, what, the 1800s? 1800s, yeah. Invercargill has existed since the dawn of time.
Starting point is 01:03:28 They used to drag whales in off the bottom of the South Island. This is real. Is this what they did? Yeah, no. Do you notice how the streets were so wide in Invercargill? It's because they used to drag whale carcasses through the streets. Why? Because they were whalers.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Oh. Because they hated whales. They had a vendetta against whales. Interesting. Anyway, back to this well Well well well well Where have they uncovered it? Remember that block of shops that we saw
Starting point is 01:03:49 Because they're building that big new shopping centre down there Yeah that's right And our black thunder driver who picked us up from the airport goes That's where the new shopping centre is going in Invercargill And they have to demolish basically a whole city block Yeah we're clearing a path So they've cleared a lot of it And they've found a well
Starting point is 01:04:02 Whoa And so what do you do when you find a well? You go down the well. You climb in and you see what's there. Yeah. I'd say bad idea. Gold. No, not gold.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Oh. There's always gold hidden down the well. Who's throwing their gold down the well? I don't know. I watched a show recently and there was gold hidden down there. Well, this would be gold for somebody. At the bottom of the ancient well that's been uncovered. Oh, not a dead body.
Starting point is 01:04:23 An imbacagal. A 200-year-old sealed bottle of olives. Shut the hell up. No! That's better than gold. It's a home preserve situation where they've stuffed the olives into a jar. It looks kind of like a wine bottle type situation. Oh, my God, that's amazing! Put the preserves
Starting point is 01:04:46 in, put the cork in, and then they've wax sealed it at the top. And because they did it right, this bottle of olives from the mid 1800s is still perfectly intact. That is actually one of the most amazing things I've heard in such a long time. Well, well, well. I knew you would say that. That is such cool
Starting point is 01:05:02 news! They found some other things. I must sound so, like, sarcastic. I think it's cool too. I think such cool news. They found some other things. I must sound so sarcastic. No, I think it's cool too. I think that's amazing. This stuff excites me. There's some other stuff they found too. What else? They found some children's toys, including a miniature tea set.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Really? And some figurines from the 1800s as well. Why down the well? Yeah, why are you chucking all your stuff down the well? Historic Invercargillites. They found lots of wine bottles that apparently still smell like red wine and they found a button off the jacket of a 1800s policeman no that's so cool yeah so to all the people who thought well news was going to be boring
Starting point is 01:05:41 you were wrong well you were wrong because we found old olives. ZM's Free and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards. Easy.
