Well, g'day guys! Welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast. You're probably wondering why I can get a word in.
Clint's actually away on an orienteering course. It's a three-day orienteering event, but the producers are still here, I'm still here.
That's definitely what it is.
Do you know I've actually done an orienteering course?
Doesn't surprise me. You love tramping and orienteering is pretty much
tramping. Yeah, it is.
I nearly got bitten by a snake
when I was orienteering. Really?
Only in Australia, eh?
Yeah, Australia. I was going to say, nah, that was
down here at Auckland City.
I wanted to ask you guys
because something that kicks off in NZ
actually, I think it was last night or
tonight, but it's been happening in Aussie for a week.
Yes, I did watch the first episode last night.
You did?
Yeah, I did.
Married at First Sight Australia is back on.
Yeah, I did.
So all the Aussies listening to this podcast could definitely relate to this.
Yeah.
So was the first episode on last night?
Yeah, it was.
Here in NZ.
I think we're about a week behind.
Yeah, it's a week behind, I think.
What did you think? Yeah, no, standard. in NZ. I think we're about a week behind. Yeah, it's a week behind I think. What did you think?
Yeah, no.
Standard. Maths. Really buzzy.
Don't know how anyone could do it. The second episode. Is it good? Really?
It really ramps up because they have the first
ever lesbian couple get married. Oh yeah,
that's so cool. Does anyone get married on episode one?
Yeah. Yeah, a few
people. A few people at the end.
Yeah, but the second episode
The lesbians get married
And I
I could tell straight away
It's going to be drama
From that couple
Or in general
Well from all the couples
You know the typical
The experts
I mean I want to see some credentials
Because like they suck at their job
They do
Honestly they're like
Here's Gavin Gavin Gavin wants a woman credentials because like they suck at their job they do honestly they're like here's gavin gavin
gavin wants a woman who pretty much you know is easygoing loves a laugh and is a non-smoker
so we decided to set gavin up with shirley a baby goat who loves a ciggy
like you know like it's just kind of like where do you find these people where,
oh.
It's like they're trying
to find one thing
that they don't like
and be like,
well, if you can overcome that,
you can overcome anything.
You're like,
I asked for a guy
and why is there a girl
standing at the altar?
Pretty much.
Or like the time
that they set the woman up
with the guy
who did not want kids
and all she really wanted
was kids.
That's right.
How did they screw that one up so badly, eh?
Like, that's a pretty big deal breaker, you idiots.
No, I'm definitely going to give it a few episodes.
Yeah.
But I guess you've just got to go in there with a frame of mind of they're there to make
shocking TV.
Yeah, they are.
What's the success rate of those shows?
I think it's one.
Really?
One couple still together.
From seven seasons. There was one
couple who ended up having a baby together
but they're not together
anymore. So they were
together for quite a long time and then I'm pretty
sure it's one couple.
Oh no, two now after last season.
Remember the chick that had the red hair?
Really beautiful red head. And she
was dating Cam. the guy called Cam.
Oh yeah, Jules and Cam. Jules and Cam.
I'm pretty sure, yeah, they're still together.
And another couple from way back. She loved him
so much. Oh, they were so perfect.
They worked. That was good. Yeah, so hey, if you get
one out of a hundred,
good odds. Good odds.
Anyway,
there's some really good stuff in the podcast today.
If you were listening to the podcast last week
The Elton John love story
And we never got an ending
Where Sam asked us to help him find this woman
He had a moment with at an Elton John concert
Well
Well, also we still didn't find an ending
No, no, we did
It's in the podcast
There's an ending to that story
Did we find the girl?
Didn't we?
Well, you're going to have to listen.
And also some amazing stories about people who saved other people's lives.
Yeah.
I'm sad we had to cut that short.
I know.
I wish we could have taken a few more calls.
But Ellie, can you share, someone called up, was her name Emma?
Yeah, her name was Emma.
And we didn't get her quite through to the show.
But basically she was driving one day and she she saw an old lady sitting on a driveway,
and there was a car reversing out.
The old classic, not looking when you're reversing.
So this lady saw it about to happen, so she basically drove into the car on the driveway
to try and stop it from hitting the lady.
Crash into it?
Yeah, crash into it.
Still hit the lady, but the lady only had a broken back.
Otherwise she would have literally been run over if this lady had...
I know.
That is some Vin Diesel shit right there.
Who literally has in their brain at the last second to run into someone's car?
Yeah, I know.
Smart.
She sacrificed her whole car for it and everything.
But yeah, she didn't make the podcast.
But here she is now.
Well, her story is being lived on.
Anyway, yeah, Clint's away, as we said, orienteering.
But he'll be back soon. Enjoy the podcast. Hey, Google, Clint's away, as we said, orienteering, but he'll be back soon. Enjoy the
podcast.
Oh,
get a New Zealand.
Happy Monday after the long weekend that everyone probably took.
Clint took such a long weekend that he's actually not here today.
He's still on his weekend.
Yeah, he's still on his weekend.
He's actually on a secret mission over in San Fran for Samsung,
so I'm sure we'll hear all about that very soon.
But the producers are in.
Ellie, Ben.
Hello.
Hey, guys.
They've given me a hand this afternoon. We're going to have a heap of fun.
I just wanted to give a big shout out
to everyone that celebrated Pride over
the weekend. Yes, cool.
A lot of people got involved. A lot of love
just spread around, especially
my flatmate, Big Gay Al.
Oh, here we go. Yesterday
at Big Gay Out,
Alan decides, he'd obviously been on
the bourbons,
a few bourbons.
The lemonades.
The lemonades.
And we were walking through and there was an F45 stand there and it was the girls from F45 and Grey Linton,
which I actually go to, and they were like,
Bree, come over!
And producer Ben goes there too.
They're like, come over, give our rowing machine competition a go.
And I was like, absolutely not.
Here we go.
We're on.
I've had too many lemonades.
But you could win a free membership.
So obviously Alan being cheap.
Yeah, loves a free thing.
Loves something free.
He goes, all right, I'll give it a go.
And he jumps on the rowing machine.
Did he break out?
He absolutely pumped out 45 solid seconds.
He got second.
Oh, wow.
Overall, The whole competition
But that means he didn't win the thing
But then he threw up for half an hour
So he had a great time
What did you do?
How many did you do?
I did not even go anywhere near the rowing machine
I sat down and watched
Which I think was the good option
Now we've got a really good show for you today
There's the love story you might have heard last week
where the guy had a moment with a girl at the Elton John concert in Dunedin.
Yes.
And we put the call out there on radio to try and find her.
We didn't have any luck.
I don't want to give it away, but we found her.
I know.
And we're going to put those two people together this afternoon,
just after five, to see if it is going to be love or if it's going to be heartbreak.
Secret Sound also at 4 o'clock and 5pm.
And right now, 0800 DIAL ZM if you want to win tickets
to the Orkin Lexus Urban Polo.
Let's kick off the show with that.
Bree and Clint.
This is actually super exciting because we're going to cross live now to San Fran
to talk to our mate Clint because there's something super exciting happening with friends.
Are you kidding me?
Are you seriously?
Are you?
What?
I am ropeable.
I'm on the other side of the earth right now and this could not be worse timing to not be in the same room as you.
I feel like I knew you would have this outlook
on the information we received over the weekend.
Say the information, Bree.
Pretty much.
Say the information that your social media is clogged with,
my social media is clogged with.
It's the only story that anybody is sending me on Instagram.
Right, so the background story that the audience needs to know,
I guess, people listening, is that at the end of last year
there was a three-month-long bet that you and I had together.
It sounded a bit like this.
If Friends announce that they're doing an actual show reboot
before the end of the year and you're right,
I will eat cat food.
Deal.
And if you're wrong, you have to eat cat food.
Yeah, deal, deal, deal.
Clint, obviously you would like to forget this piece of information,
but you lost that bet because before the end of the year,
no reunion, no nothing was announced,
and this was you eating cat food.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
It wasn't good.
It wasn't a good time for anyone.
But new information has come to life, mate.
Yeah.
And do you want to just, I guess, bring the new information to the people listening?
Yeah, they're doing a goddamn friends reunion.
I was literally eight weeks short.
And I would like, I mean, I know I've eaten the cat food now.
It's irrelevant.
What's happened has happened.
And I can't get the taste of chicken patty out of my mouth no matter how much Listerine I use.
Was it salmon?
Thank you very much.
I'm a pescatarian.
I appreciate that.
But literally, literally, the reunion is on.
What the hell?
What's going on?
Look, I would have to disagree with you, Clint.
I would have to say that I have won the bet double times over
because they've announced a reunion show, yes.
It's actually an interview with all the cast, not an actual show.
Yeah, no, I did see that, actually.
You've got to agree with me on that. With all the cast, not an actual show. Yeah, no, I did see that, actually.
Here's the thing, here's the thing.
Can I have some kudos?
Because all of my predictions were right, except for the format.
The main actual piece of the prediction, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I've been saying to you from the start,
the reason that Jennifer Aniston has bought Instagram,
the reason that she's going on Ellen,
the reason that Courtney Cox is using Instagram,
all these things,
the reason that Ellen is like hosting things like this,
because apparently Ellen's going to host the reunion show.
It's because they're launching a new streaming service.
Yes, I agree.
That's exactly why they're doing all this.
Yeah, but there was always going to be something coming.
And sometimes, Brie, you've got to take a risk in life
and I'm a gambling man, you know.
And the risk, unfortunately,
has not paid off.
Sure, it resulted in me
eating cat food.
No, it hasn't paid off.
I want to know,
this is the one question
I have for you,
double or nothing?
Double or nothing in what way?
If they come on
and they actually,
what's it called?
Reprise their characters.
Reprise their characters and they're actually playing their characters
for the one-hour reunion, technically that would make you right.
But we've got to set some very clear parameters.
So obviously everything that I've read too,
it's going to be a one-hour discussion with Ellen.
Yeah, that's what you've seen as well?
Nothing is, yeah, it's meant to be unscripted.
Yeah.
Okay, I'll do you a double or nothing deal.. Yeah. Okay, I'll do your double or nothing deal.
If they do one scene,
that's our double or nothing.
So if they go into character,
all six of them for one scene,
then you have to eat cat food.
And if they don't, I will eat cat food.
God, you're really clutching
at straws, aren't you, mate?
Okay.
I'll take the bet, but if Ellen is involved in the scene
and it's not just them six, then the bet's off.
Damn it!
Damn it, man.
Good.
Double or nothing, it's done.
Double or nothing.
Yeah, you've got a deal, yeah.
All right, have fun, Sam friend, mate.
We'll have that salmon pate ready for you when you get back.
Bree and Clint.
This is something that I have heard people talking about a lot recently.
I heard Vaughn talking about it on Fletch Vaughn and Megan,
and then I've seen a lot of people, a few people talking about it on TikTok,
and then a few people posting about it on Facebook.
But put in a nutshell, Producer Ellie, what exactly it is
that we're talking about.
So basically, you don't really know what you don't know if you don't know it.
And that makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, but you don't know that I know that you know.
Yeah, know that I know that you know.
Exactly.
But basically, the thing that I think started this whole thing was a guy on Twitter tweeted,
fun fact, some people have an internal narrative and some don't.
So if you do what you do, you obviously don't know the difference to what anyone else does.
It's pretty much the similar thing to a few things we've talked about recently,
like if you shower at night time or if you shower in the morning.
Yeah.
But you don't really know what other people do.
Because you don't really talk about it, right?
Yeah, you don't really talk about that stuff.
Yeah, and the idea of an internal narrative or an internal monologue
is quite an abstract thought anyway.
Like, how do you, so how do you think, Bray? When you
think, are you seeing things or are you
actually talking to yourself in your head? Oh, I've definitely
got the voices. You're the greatest.
Their voices. No, which I think
is actually pretty normal, right? Yeah, it is.
And there's some people that don't think in words
at all and they just visualise
abstract, like, I can't...
Comprehend?
Comprehend it.
Thank you, Ben.
Thank you.
Your narrative wasn't working there.
Come on, voice narrative.
So basically, yeah, people don't know what they don't know
and I think in my voice.
So you do have the narrative as well.
Yeah, so I can't conceptualise in my own head
how to think abstractly.
What do you do, Ben?
I think words are in my head, like if I'm thinking.
This sounds so ridiculous.
It does, eh?
Actually, this is so crazy,
but we actually recorded some of Ben's thoughts earlier,
and here we've got it here.
No, I'm going to keep talking because you're going to go silent.
We recorded his mind for four hours.
And that's what it was.
Amazing.
That's incredible.
But you said you actually have the voice as well.
Yeah, I have voice.
Like I talk to myself or there'll be, if I'm thinking about a thing,
I'm like, okay, how am I thinking about that?
I'm going to do that.
Yeah, yeah, the words are in my head, yeah.
Yeah, so like, because people tweeted back and it set off this whole chain
and there's some people who literally cannot think in their own voice.
If they want to talk to themselves, they have to do it out loud,
which I found interesting. Like, I can just
totally have a full-on conversation in my head.
Me too. Yeah, okay, so we're all the same.
I wonder if people text us. I'd be interested to see
if other people don't think in words.
Yeah, what are you? If you think in
an abstract way that isn't a voice
narrative, can you text us
9696? It's very hard to comprehend.
It's hard to explain too.
Do you think in images
yeah because i guess that's probably what they're thinking like they look at images instead of the
actual yeah voice it turns out it is a psychological phenomenon though that people are either neuro
verbal or neuro visual you lost me now yeah real big words but i was telling you guys earlier that
i saw a picture on facebook and i was talking about this is like a similar thing
as to how your brain works.
And it was an image and it said close your eyes
and visualise in your mind a red outline of a star.
Okay, yeah.
And so essentially I closed my eyes and then I was like trying
to like visualise this thing.
And then I opened my eyes and then it had like four images
and it was like what did you see?
And there was like a red star and then there was a white star
and then there was just nothing.
And I was like, yeah, I saw nothing.
Bree and Clint.
If you missed it, Clint is away for a couple of days,
but the producers are in giving me a hand.
And just because he's away doesn't mean we slow up
on the aviation news here at the Brian Clint Show.
And, Producer Ben, you've got some aviation news for us this afternoon.
Yeah, well, you know, filling in for Clint this week,
I've got to bring some pretty good content.
It's going to be hard.
Aviation news, easy.
Yeah, you said that over the last week or so
there's been the fastest recorded flight ever.
Yeah, there's a massive storm at the moment going,
travelling over the UK, over the United Kingdom,
called Storm Syria, like S-I-A-R-A. Sierra.
Yeah.
There you go, Storm Sierra.
Oh, one, two step.
Yeah, one, two step.
A British Airways flight recorded the fastest ever
transatlantic flight from New York to London.
So it wasn't on purpose then?
It wasn't on purpose.
The storm helped the flight.
Oh, so like a massive tailwind.
Yeah, huge tailwind. I love
when you get a tailwind. Yeah, on the athletics
field. Yeah.
You're about to run the 100 metres, they're like,
we've got a big tailwind today. It's good news.
I was probably talking about when you're on the
aeroplane, you get a tailwind.
Sorry, yeah, same.
You know, when you're going across the Tasman, across
the ditch, and they're like, hey, the flight's going to be about 45 minutes today.
It's crazy how that happens, eh?
The flight speed of it was recorded at 1,320 kilometres per hour.
Yeah, she quick.
So the flight time from New York to London is normally about 4 hours and 50 minutes.
So 4 hours and 50 minutes.
This one, it was 80 minutes faster.
18 minutes?
80.
80 minutes faster?
Over an hour.
Yeah, nearly an hour and a half.
That's crazy.
I always wonder, and my brain first went to,
I wonder if you could actually notice it when you're on the plane.
Well, a lot of people started commenting.
So the BBC put out, they're like, this is insane.
The records are now here.
The flight was way faster than it should have been.
And I went into the Facebook and I saw all the comments.
Kev was like, really liked the experience.
Way faster than expected.
And then they've replied and they're like, we need to talk to you
because we want to know what the flight was like.
So we actually enjoyed it.
And another guy, Billy, was like, we were on there too, Kev.
It wasn't really bad, just a little bit of turbulence.
But man, it's nice going that fast.
People just love to go fast.
I had a really quick flight home from Thailand once.
Yeah.
I took some Valium and I was there in like 10 minutes.
Bree and Clint.
I actually wanted to talk about this story because I found it quite amusing,
which I think some people are getting a little bit annoyed over this next story.
And it's about a couple who'd been together for about four weeks,
so pretty early on.
A month, yeah.
And they actually hatched a plan together to bag some free drinks
by faking an engagement.
Ah, yes.
Have you guys ever thought about doing that before?
Faking an engagement to get free drinks?
Yeah, or something for free.
What about you, Producer Ellie?
You've been with your boyfriend for quite a long time.
Yeah.
No, because I have.
Nah, I should.
You're going to think about it now?
It's a great idea.
It's interesting.
So her name was Corinne and his name was Adam
and they said that they'd been together for, yeah,
a little under four weeks and they staged this whole thing
on a trip to Atlanta
because they wanted to save some money.
And they said it worked so well that they ended up doing it
at a couple more bars that night.
And they just kept redoing the fake proposal over and over again.
And it reminded me of a couple of friends of mine who said to me
they actually do a similar kind of thing
uh but when they're on flights like especially international flights she'll take her ring off
because they're already married yeah but she'll take her ring off and he gets down on one knee
during the flight in the hope that they'll upgrade them to first class. Really?
And it works all the time.
Oh, my gosh.
That's what they said.
But one time apparently she said to me, she's like,
it was really embarrassing because they did it on this flight.
I can't remember where they were going.
And anyway, they got upgraded and everyone was celebrating
and it was all like, you know, good and whatever.
And apparently this one flight attendant comes up to her and he goes,
I just wanted to say congratulations, but I did notice that you've got a ring tan.
Oh, gutted.
So they were fully found out.
Oh, no.
But hey, yeah, get them a few upgrades.
Imagine if there was the same air hostess and they're like,
oh, you did that on my last flight.
Yeah, well, that's a thing.
True.
Yeah, that's true.
What if there's someone on the flight that knew you
but you couldn't see them?
You're like, hey, I know them.
I went to their wedding four years ago.
Yeah, well, that's true too.
Hard lie.
Or you just go to the same bar every weekend and they're like,
you were here last weekend.
Stop doing this.
We know who you are.
But I thought it'd be quite interesting to put it out to people
listening to the show.
0800 DIAL ZM.
I want to know if you've actually done this before.
This might be a needle in the haystack.
Yeah.
Because maybe, you know, most people probably aren't game enough.
Yeah.
But have you been game enough?
What did you score yourself for free for doing a fake engagement?
We'll take your calls next on 0800DIALSATM
or you can text us on 9696.
And have you ever faked an engagement to get something for free?
Nah.
I know you have.
Yeah, I know, yeah.
I wish I had, though.
It's smart thinking.
Well, it is quite smart, but then is it deceitful? Yeah, a had it. Yeah, I know, yeah. I wish I had, though. It's smart thinking. Well, it is quite smart, but then is it deceitful?
Yeah, a little bit.
Pulling on people's heartstrings to get something for free.
I'm a bit 50-50.
There's a couple that has been doing this over in the States.
They were four weeks into their relationship
when they decided on a night out to get some free drinks.
They would just do a bunch of fake engagements at different bars.
That's actually quite smart.
I'm annoyed I didn't think about it.
It actually worked.
But this is cute.
The story ends in a really nice way because six months on from the stunt,
he's actually proposed for real and they're getting married.
Oh, that's nice.
How would you know if it's for real?
Yeah.
Well, that's the thing.
It's like the boy that cried wolf.
You're like, are you really?
Or is there somewhere?
She'd be like, we're not at a bar.
Get up.
We're not going to get anything free.
He's like, no, for real.
So we've asked you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
have you faked an engagement to get something for free?
Someone texted through on the text machine and they said that they haven't
faked an engagement
but they faked being on their honeymoon
to get some free upgrades and bottles of wine at a hotel.
Which I have heard of people doing that before.
That's smart.
Yeah.
Yeah, because I guess how do you prove it?
Like how do they prove that you're not on your honeymoon?
Right?
And I mean if you've been married for five years,
you deserve the upgrade.
Yeah, that's true.
You deserve to be treated. Right. And I mean, if you've been married for five years, you deserve the upgrade. Yeah, that's true.
You deserve to be treated. Let's go to Brittany on 0800DIALS.
Brittany, have you done this before?
Not an engagement, but me and my friend, we were in Wellington for the weekend and we ran out of money the first night buying heaps of lemonade.
Okay, of course. Yeah, that happens.
So we decided we've got $10 left. We went to the $2 shop and we got a sachet for bachelorette,
a veil, and we went to town.
And I've never had so many lemonades in my life.
Good for you.
Good for you, Brittany.
Very well done.
So you think that people were dishing out the free drinks
because they were like, oh, you're on your hen's night?
Yeah.
And we told them, we said, where's the rest of your party?
We said, they were too far gone.
They went home.
We're here for the long haul.
Did you have the most convincing part, though,
in the whole ensemble, Brittany?
I didn't even have a ring.
As long as you had the penis straws,
people would have been like, definitely a hen's night.
Look, they've got the penis straws and everything.
No, I like that, Brittany.
Good for you.
Well done.
Thank you.
I might do that this weekend.
That's a good idea, right?
Yeah, it's not pay week this week.
Bree and Clint.
Oh, my God.
What?
No way.
I can't believe that happened.
Oh, my God, no.
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Yeah, new game we launched at the start of the year
where if you haven't heard this,
this is where you guys get to call the show
and tell us a great story,
but only tell us three quarters of it
because we don't want you to tell us the ending
because I then sit down and I write some fake endings
and producer Ellie will read out
all of the endings and it's your job for the people who are listening
to pick the real ending.
If you can do that, we'll hook you up with some free mobile fuel
and Raylene has called through on 0800 dials at M.
Hi, Raylene.
Hi, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Are you ready to tell us the story?
Yep, absolutely. All right, we only want three quarters of it, okay? Okay, cool. All right, go's it going? Good, thanks. Are you ready to tell us the story? Yep, absolutely.
All right.
We only want three quarters of it, okay?
Okay, cool.
All right, go for it.
So when I was about 14, my family took me down to the mountains,
for some skiing, and we're staying up on the lodge there,
and we're heading out one morning to go and, like,
muck around and play in the snow and go for a ski.
And I walked outside the front of the lodge,
and I'd sat my bag down and my beanie to kind of put it on
and get sorted to go onto the mountain.
And then it was a really windy day.
All of a sudden, my beanie flew away
and went onto the other side of a roped-off area
that we weren't to go into.
And then...
Oh, stop right there, Aileen.
All right.
Well, you've told the story beautifully.
Now, producer Ellie has the two fake endings that I've given her
and she also has the real ending that Raylene has given her.
So listen to these carefully because you're going to have to pick
the real ending to the story.
All right, ending number one.
I fell over the cliff, collided with a snowboarder
who pretty much saved my life because if I'd kept going, I would have fallen 20 fell over the cliff, collided with a snowboarder who pretty much saved my life
because if I'd kept going, I would have fallen 20 metres down the cliffside.
Whoa.
Is it ending number two, I fell off the cliff and landed wrist first and broke both of them.
My mum had to help me in the bathroom for the next six weeks.
Or ending number three, I ended up falling 30 metres down the cliff and spent
the entire day climbing back up it.
My family didn't even realise I was missing
at all. Alright, there we have it.
The three endings. The person that
is having a guess this afternoon is you, Crystal.
Yay.
Alright, Crystal, do you think you know
the real one? Because I've written two of the fake
endings and they all sound
very similar.
They do.
I think I'm pretty positive I can cross off number three because really, what family would forget about you?
Yeah, well, you haven't met my family, Crystal.
Okay, so you're crossing out number three.
Yep.
Yep.
It's a toss up between one and two, but I think I'm going with two.
Okay, so you think...
Yeah, I am.
You think it's, I fell off the cliff and landed wrist first and broke both of them.
My mum had to help me in the bathroom for the next six weeks.
All right, you're going with the broken wrist ending.
Yep.
All right.
Raylene.
Can you tell us what the real
ending of your story was
okay so the real ending
is that yes sadly I did disappear
over a cliff that had a 30 metre drop
and my family did not notice I was
missing all day
oh
lucky Crystal but I feel like
Raylene kind of deserves the fuel
after that experience.
There you go.
You're taking home some fuel thanks to mobile.
Thanks for telling us your story, Raylene.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Bree and Clint.
I saw a story today on Twitter where a guy was blowing up
about a toilet in San Fran.
Oh, yeah?
He was absolutely losing his bananas over this toilet
and I was thinking, what's the problem?
And essentially he went to this cafe in San Fran
and they told him to use the bathroom,
to be able to use the bathroom at this cafe,
he had to download an app.
Oh, no.
I'm done already.
So essentially he went up to the counter and he was like,
can I get, you know, the bathroom key?
And usually they put it on a spoon or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This guy was like, oh, yeah, you need to download the app
to then scan yourself into the bathrooms here.
Oh, my gosh.
Which, I mean, he wasn't impressed.
He wasn't impressed.
He's put it on Twitter and it's attracted a lot of attention
of people who are not impressed.
Future toilet.
Future toilet.
Yeah, that's what it is.
You just have to use, all you have to use is your phone now.
Well, let's hope not.
Let's hope you still have to use one other thing.
Yeah, I am.
But I did some research into it because I was like,
I wonder if this is, you know, happening in other parts of the world.
And of course it is.
There's a place, I think it's in China actually,
who you have to download this app and apparently put
in these certain codes to get toilet paper.
Oh, where though?
In a restaurant, in a supermarket?
It must be public toilets, I think.
Because obviously my mum and dad used to tell me about when they went to Italy or Greece
and places like that, you'd have to pay for toilet paper.
Really?
Yeah.
At public toilets?
At public toilets.
They make you pay.
Who's making you pay?
Is there someone there?
I don't know, the council?
They seem to be making people pay all the time.
Yeah, true.
But yeah, so I guess this is like the updated technology version
of that kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah, that scares me.
I don't like that.
It seems like a lot of hurdles just to, like, you know,
do a personal right that we have, like a human right, you know?
What if you're busting is my question.
Yeah.
A lot of times downloading an app can take minutes, you know,
and then you've got to probably sign up, put your details
and all that kind of stuff.
Like, I don't really get it. The part
that probably really worries
me is that obviously any time
you download an app, like you said,
Ellie, you have to put your details in
and all that kind of stuff. Who is
the company that is collecting data
about us going to the toilet? Yeah, that's
weird. Like, what are you doing with
that data? That's a great question.
It's like Brie Thomas sell. We can
tell you that she has done
number two's four days
this week.
Good. Sell her a product.
Brie and Clint.
Look, I'm super excited about
what we're going to talk about next because
you might remember last week we told
you a story and it was a love story
that took place at an Elton John concert
in Dunedin last week.
I am so excited to see Elton John this weekend.
I know.
He's coming to Auckland and that's going to be amazing.
But we had a guy who got in touch with us on the Brian Clint Facebook page
and his name was Sam.
And essentially Sam said, look, I had this moment last night at
the Elton John concert in Dunedin where, you know, me and this girl were dancing. We were singing
your song by Elton John together. And she then left and vanished off into the crowd and I never
got to ask her anything. It's like a movie. It is like a movie.
It's like a movie.
And he said, I wanted to know if you could help me out,
if you could put the call out on the radio.
She was the girl who caught the drumstick at the end of the show.
Very specific.
Super specific.
So we did that last week.
And Sam joins us again right now, actually.
Hi, Sam.
G'day, g'day. How's it going? Very well. Now, Sam, it was right now, actually. Hi, Sam. G'day, g'day.
How's it going?
Very well.
Now, Sam, it was pretty disappointing last week.
We told your story.
We put the call out to find this mystery girl
and we got nothing.
Yeah, yeah, a little bit of, yeah, a little bit disappointing,
but that's the way it goes, I guess.
Have you still been thinking about, you know,
what could have been, what her name is, all that kind of stuff?
I actually have been.
I had a wedding on Friday and the story obviously went round.
So I got quite a bit of shit for not getting her name and number.
Well, Sam, look, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.
What do you want first?
Okay. Look, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. What do you want first?
Hit me with either.
Okay, let's go with the good news.
The good news actually joins us on the phones right now.
Hello?
Hey, guys, how's it going?
Can you please tell us who you are?
My name is Jess and I'm the girl that caught the drumstick.
I've got goosebumps!
We found her!
So, Sam, what happened was we put the call out on the radio last week and we actually ended up getting an inbox from you, Jess,
and who did you hear it through?
Was it through a friend?
Yeah, so I put on Facebook that I'd been at the Alton John concert
and obviously showed everyone my drumsticks because it's pretty amazing.
And I got a message from a friend of mine that had heard you guys on the radio
saying that you were looking for me.
We're so sorry because it is kind of stalkerish.
But we're so glad we found you because I'm
pretty sure there's one question
that, Sam, you should be asking Jess.
Yeah, I was just, well,
I've got lots of questions, I guess, but
yeah, just how are you going and would you be keen to
meet up for a drink or something?
I would love
to catch up with you as a friend,
Sam, but I've actually got a partner.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, hey.
It could be a blessing.
Don't be sorry.
Yeah, you seem just like an awesome person anyway, so...
We definitely bonded.
Like, we were singing and having a good time
and just appreciating the epic, epic music
that we would got to be a part of.
And so we said we'd love to catch up and have a coffee one day.
Oh, bless you.
Sounds good.
So sweet.
Well, there you go, Sam.
Not romance, but maybe a blossoming friendship.
Hey, what more can I ask for?
That's awesome.
Guys, I'm just so excited that we actually used the power of our show
to bring you guys together and you could have a friendship out of it.
I appreciate you both coming on.
No worries.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, no, thank you very much and well done to ZM, I guess.
No worries, Sam.
Jess, will you take $100 for the drumstick?
No, sorry. I mean, I you take $100 for the drumstick? No. No, sorry.
I mean, I'm not going to swear on my video, but pay more than that.
Appreciate your time, guys.
Have a good one.
Thanks, guys.
See you later.
There it is.
That was so wholesome.
It wasn't a love story of the generation, but still very cute people that shared a moment.
I'm glad he has closure now.
Yeah.
Because he could have went on for years and years, you know, just being like, never knowing.
Well, there you go.
If you want to find someone, text us on 966.
Bree and Clint.
It is Bree and Clint.
Clint away with a bad sunburn, but he will be back hopefully soon.
Guys, because Clint is away, look, sometimes,
most of the time we do kind of see eye to eye on most things.
But when it comes to, I guess, a certain type of humour,
humour, Clint isn't really on board.
He supports it but he's not on board.
Yeah.
Which is why I wanted to pitch you guys an idea because he's awake.
Okay.
I love your ideas so you've got my vote.
Not all of them are good but I feel like this is a winner.
Okay.
So do you guys remember a couple of weeks ago,
Gwyneth Paltrow released
her candle idea?
Yes, I have seen this.
Yeah, we've got a little clip of it here.
It's a candle.
Yeah.
And it's called
This Smells Like My Vagina.
So it sort of started as a joke.
I was with the nose, Douglas Little,
and we were kind of messing around,
and I smelled this beautiful thing,
and I was like, this smells like Mamma Gianna.
So then it actually became kind of a funny thing
where it was A, really funny to us.
I mean, I think women, a lot of us have grown up
feeling certain degrees of shame around our body or whatever,
so this is just a little bit of a, you know,
subversive candle for all of us out there.
Buzzy idea.
And I'd love to know what it actually smells like.
Yeah, well, it says, I think in an article it says, like,
it smells like flowers and other things.
Like a candle.
It actually smells like a candle.
And everyone was kind of like, what is Gwena the Smoking?
Can I have some?
But then also the candle sold out.
Yeah.
Within minutes.
It was really expensive, wasn't it?
It was like $100 and something.
Yeah, it was crazy expensive.
Super expensive.
People were absolutely fizzing about it.
And then I think it was last week there was another company
who decided to release a candle called This Candle Smells Like My Penis.
Nice.
So one for the ladies.
Was that one real?
I don't know if it was real, but someone was like,
oh, let's release this candle, one for the ladies,
one for the fellas.
I thought, you know, we need one for the people
that listen to this show.
Yes.
Oh, nice.
I'd like to have my own version, something we can all relish in.
What's that going to smell like?
Absolution.
Hear me out.
Do you need a drumroll for your big idea?
So, yeah, I do need a
drumroll.
I was thinking
what if I release
my own scent? Yep, yep.
Okay. Your scent. But we don't
want to copy Gwyneth.
Okay. So I've come up with a few ideas. Can I workshop them with you guys? Okay. Your scent. But we don't want to copy Gwyneth. Okay. So I've come up with a few ideas.
Can I workshop them with you guys?
I'm thinking my favourite, I think, is this candle smells like my bum.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
It's very funny.
I like that, yeah.
And obviously a candle with that would not smell good,
but we would make the candle smell good.
Yes, good idea.
What about this candle smells like my feet?
Oh, yeah.
That makes me go, ugh, more than the bum one for some reason.
Yeah, I don't like that.
There's a lot more about you.
I know.
What about this candle smells like my sweaty armpit?
Oh, yeah.
Humming.
I ain't going to say no to that one.
You don't like it?
That would put me off, I think, more than the other ones.
What about this candle smells like my farts and just put it out there? Oh, I like that. You know I like that one. The show't like it? That would put me off, I think. Okay. More than the other ones. What about this candle smells
like my farts and just put it out there. Oh, I like
that. You know I like that one. The show would like, yeah.
People would like that. Yeah. Anyway,
you guys are laughing and
it obviously is a far-fetched idea,
but with your help, I feel
like, you know, Valentine's
Day is coming up.
Yes. It's on Friday. What if we
actually make these candles?
Yeah.
I want to know if people are interested.
Would you be interested if we gave away a candle,
say it said, this smells like my bum, and it's a candle,
would you be interested in getting one of those
if you listen to this show?
I think that's a good idea.
So you're just giving them away?
You're not going to sell them on the side?
Side hustle?
Yeah.
Would people be interested?
9696, you can text us.
I want to gauge interest and I feel like we might, you know,
workshop the few different ideas on our Instagram.
Yeah, no, good idea.
I like the idea even more because Clint's not here and he will hate it.
When he gets back, there'll be hell to pay.
He's not going to be impressed.
He's like, what the bloody hell is that?
I'm like, we're giving away candles for Valentine's Day.
It's good.
We're doing something.
Yeah, I know.
We're doing something nice for the people.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.

Bree and Clint's birthday banger.

Timberlake should have it?
Yeah, I hated Soulja Boy.
Fair

song. It was played a lot. It was.
What year was that? Probably too much. Soulja Boy 1.
2007. Yeah. Carrie
Hilson was here last year for
Friday Jems Live.
She was amazing, by the way.
Very good.
Oh, right.
So does that mean I get to pick? Yeah, this is all on you.
No, I don't like that.
I mean, I can sway you, but I think you should make the big decision.
I think I know what you want.
All right, well.
You'd want Soulja Boy.
Maybe.
Definitely.
Yeah, I would.
I'd vote Soulja Boy, 100%. I think Yeah, I would. I'd vote Soulja Boy 100%.

Your birthday banger winner for this afternoon.
What do I regret my decision?
Strong words, but it is a very repetitive song, isn't it?
Yeah, and it's a little bit longer than I remember it.
It's a very long song.
How did you feel about it?
Love the first sort of one minute and then after a while it's a bit longer. To reminisce.
Do you remember this song from Soulja Boy?
Ooh. Oh, yeah. Soulja Boy? Ooh.
Oh, yeah.
Soulja Boy, tell them.
Yep.
How could you miss it?
He always says, it's Soulja Boy time.
Yeah.
I feel like this was better.
Yeah, it's not bad.
I quite like this song, Kiss Me Through the Phone.
Not bad.
A few people on the text machine are saying
that was the worst choice out of a bad bunch today.
Hey, there's always tomorrow.
Hopefully we get some epic birthday bangers tomorrow.
I wanted to share a story that happened to me,
well, kind of to me.
I was there over the weekend,
and Producer Ben, you were actually also there.
I was there.
Producer Ellie, you were not.
I was not, sorry.
From memory.
No, you weren't there.
But on Saturday night I was performing in my second ever stand-up comedy show.
Good work.
That's awesome.
Which is terrifying.
Yeah, I know.
And I'm very lucky to have such awesome
such good friends thank you producer ben um like ben who comes along and supports i got a few
friends there actually there was producer ben my flatmate alan my other flatmate annabelle
uh my other friend ben yeah um uh you bought someone and then also my girlfriend was there
um so i had a really nice group of friends supporting me.
Yeah, cool.
And I was performing in the Raw Comedy,
which is all like amateur comedians and just some of us giving it a go.
Yeah.
And so usually they have the first half of the show
and then there's like a little break.
And I was sitting up in the green room with some of the other comedians
and it's interesting because there's like a little balcony
that's on the outside where you can sit if you want
to actually watch the show, if you're performing as well.
Yeah.
So we were sitting in the green room, so the back area,
and next minute we hear kind of like someone's performing at the time
and it was just before the half break and someone was performing and then we hear this like bit of commotion
and kind of like a thud.
Oh, gosh.
And I kind of was like, that was weird.
It's quite loud.
Quite loud.
Yeah.
And next minute this girl, one of the other performers,
she comes running into the room and she says,
does someone have a phone?
Who's got a phone?
Oh, my gosh. Who's got a phone? Oh, my God.
Who's got a phone?
I need to call triple one.
And at that point I just went into like panic mode
and I was like, here, like use my phone.
I was like, what's going on?
She's like, oh, there's one of the guys who just performed.
He'd actually had a fit and fallen off the back of his chair
and he was in a lot of trouble.
Anyway, I straight away went into, your girlfriend's a nurse.
Go get the nurse.
Get the nurse.
Anyway, so I've bolted down the stairs where obviously my group of friends was sitting and I think people kind of knew that something was going on
but everyone was a bit confused right then.
I don't think anyone knew what was going on at all.
We were just like, well, Brie just did some running inside.
Why came she running through the crowd?
I was like, why is she running?
She's obviously just keen to go say hi to her girlfriend.
And that's beautiful, obviously.
No, obviously I was scared and I was running out.
And they left.
I was like, nice.
No, anyway, I literally looked at her and I was like,
you need to come now.
And she obviously knew that something wasn't right.
And I've never seen someone whip off their jacket so quickly
and go straight into like work mode.
Wow.
Like it was just crazy.
And so she went up and she was literally straight in there
and she was like obviously like helping and doing what she could.
And she pretty much saved this guy's life.
Did she?
Yeah. That's life. Did she? Yeah.
That's awesome.
It was full on and obviously we tried to get people away from, you know,
this guy who was obviously in trouble and she's turned him on his side
and she was doing all these things.
And I just kind of was like, you know, he might have been fine
but you just don't know.
You don't.
And it's crazy to watch people, especially like doctors and nurses,
who in those situations, they literally save people's lives.
They literally turn into superheroes, eh?
Yeah, it's incredible to watch.
And it just made me think about all those people,
especially nurses who obviously sometimes do it tough
and they don't get paid enough.
Yeah.
And you see stuff like that out in public where, you know,
they're doing amazing things for people and just helping people, you know.
But, yeah, just wanted to share that story.
It was crazy.
He, the ambulance did come.
He was fine.
He was fine.
Cool.
Okay, that's good.
And he did a great comedy sit too.
I was waiting for him to get back on stage and go, gotcha.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but, yeah, it was crazy.
But, yeah, always remember to call 111 if you obviously need help.
And a big shout out to the Ambos too.
They do an amazing job.
Totally.
Well, that's nice.
Did you want to ask your question?
That's right.
I was going to ask a question.
It's fine.
You guys were looking at me and I was like, what's going on?
What's going on next?
I wanted to ask people because I'd never been in a situation like that
where she pretty much saved this guy's life, helped him out.
And I wanted to know from people listening,
has this happened to you before?
Have you ever saved someone's life in a situation
where you probably didn't even think about what was going on,
you just went into full-on kind of...
Like fight or flight mode.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I'd love for you to call and share the story with us on 0800DIALZM
or I'd love you to text through and share at the times
that you may have saved someone's life.
Text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
We're just trying to deal with the amount of calls
that are coming in at the moment.
This is amazing. I can just trying to deal with the amount of calls that are coming in at the moment. This is amazing.
I can't wait to hear these stories
because we've asked you to call on 0800DIALZM
if you've ever been in a situation where you've saved someone's life.
Yeah.
Because I was involved in a situation over the weekend
where I was performing at a comedy club for the second time ever,
so I was already in a state of disarray.
And one of the comedians actually started to have a fit.
He wasn't on the stage, but he was in this other area.
After his set, yeah, right.
After his set, and one of the other girls came running in.
She was like, who's got a phone?
We need to call triple one.
That's scary stuff.
I was terrified.
I'm getting goosebumps thinking about it now because, like, you just see someone in this situation where you're like i just i just don't
know what i can do to help you anyway uh quick thinking um i knew my girlfriend was there
obviously um that night and she's a nurse um and i ran down there and i said hey babe can you come
up someone's having a fit and she just went into full-on nurse mode.
She's like a superwoman.
It was crazy.
And she was doing all these things to help this guy out.
And eventually he came to and the Ambos came who did an amazing job
and took him away and he was okay.
But it was so scary in the moment.
It was amazing.
While I was just sitting there watching the comedy
and you were sprinting around, I was like, God,
Bree's running everywhere. She should be getting ready for her damn set. Yeah, and I was just like While I was just sitting there watching the comedy and you were sprinting around, I was like, God, Brie's running everywhere.
She should be getting ready for her damn set.
Yeah, and I was just like, I literally just forgot
about everything else.
I was like, we need to help this person.
And thank God he was okay.
But let's go to the phones now on 0800DIALZM.
Rose, let's start with you.
Have you saved someone's life before, Rose?
Yeah, I have actually.
Pretty recently, a few weeks ago.
So it was pretty crazy.
Wow, so it's fresh.
Yeah, super fresh, yes.
What happened?
I was at a restaurant and with some friends having lunch.
All of a sudden, this sort of ugly lady started sort of obviously choking on her food.
And we were just like, oh, my God, something's happening.
So I just instantly went into action mode because I'm first aid trained.
So I just thought, oh, my God, I don't know what to do.
So I ran over and after a few scary minutes saved her life
and she managed to get the food out.
Wait, so you performed a real-life Heimlich on this lady?
I almost had to. Luckily, we try real-life Heimlich on this lady? I almost
had to. Luckily, we try
to avoid the Heimlich where possible, or
avoid the ribs.
So we'd basically bring them over
towards the hip and do some really
hard thumbs up their back, which is obviously
not a nice thing to do for an old lady.
But Rose, I have to ask, but if
that doesn't work, do you give the Heimlich
a go? Like, last resort? Pretty much. Right, okay. Yeah, pretty much. I was hoping I wouldn't have to ask, but if that doesn't work, do you give the Heimlich a go? Pretty much.
Right, okay.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, and I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that
because people saying I would have probably broken her ribs.
So it was a pretty scary situation.
Wow.
So thankful.
And such a good reminder, Rose, to get first aid trained
because you just never know, do you?
Totally.
No, and I'm so glad that I was able to help because everyone else just looked
like really stunned and didn't know what to do.
Real life hero, Rose.
We appreciate you calling in.
Thanks, guys.
What about you, Liam?
You've also saved someone's life.
Yeah, I was travelling back from Cambridge to West Calco and I came across a,
I suppose I was sent to a car accident.
Yeah.
And so I got out of the car
and, you know,
had a look around
to make sure everything was okay.
The car was upside down.
Initially,
I didn't see anyone else
inside the car.
There were two people
standing outside.
Okay.
I was talking to them.
They were two parents
of a 12-year-old boy
and they'd both had
head knocks
and they had actually
forgotten that their
12-year-old was in the car.
In the car, yeah.
You're joking.
Yeah, so luckily, after I talked to them, I walked around the car again, and I noticed two legs hanging up.
He was still in the car.
Yeah.
So I had to, luckily I was wearing steel cap boots, I kicked in the rear window, climbed in through the rear window,
pulled him out, and I was performing CPR on him for about 25, 30 minutes.
Oh, my God.
Whoa.
I've got goosebumps everywhere.
Yeah.
The ambulance turned up, and we were rotating around between us all.
They kept me going as well so that I was able to give them a break too.
Incredible, Liam.
So you pretty much essentially kept this kid alive for 20 or 30 minutes
while the ambos pretty much got to the scene.
Yeah, and I was helping them the whole way back to hospital as well,
to work at a hospital.
Oh, my God, that's incredible.
Yeah, it was a bit scary at first because when I left,
I didn't know if they were going to make it or not.
When I left the hospital, in a week later,
I was given a phone call while I was at work in Cambridge.
Yeah.
And it was actually the parents of the boy and they both asked
if I could go up to one of the hospitals and go up and go see their son
because he was asking for me.
Oh, that's incredible, Liam. What was that feeling like? If I could go up to one of the hospitals and go up and go see their son because he was asking for me.
That's incredible, Liam.
What was that feeling like?
It was actually crazy.
I was more gobsmacked and amazed and happy.
I just thought, well, a lot of tears to my eyes really to be able to sit back and think I was able to save that kid's life
at only 12 years old.
What an amazing, obviously, gift that you've also given to that whole family to be able
to step up and, you know, do something like that in a situation where there'd be so much
pressure, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
And also kind of keep them calm as well once they finally realise who I was doing CPR on
as well.
Incredible, Liam.
We appreciate you calling through with your story this afternoon.
Thank you.
Wow.
Some amazing stories.
I'm sitting here and my arm is just...
Same.
I've got just tingles everywhere and there's so many texts coming through
and I'm so sorry we can't get to the rest of the calls.
But, yeah, thanks so much for sharing your stories this afternoon.
Really inspiring stuff.
Brie and Clint.
Clint away on a secret mission, but we're all still here.
We're all here.
Me and the crew.
Yep.
And you had some exciting news, Producer Ben.
Well, Ellie and I were especially excited.
Yeah.
Because this brings back a lot of memories for us.
Does this music bring back memories?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
You're building the house.
Yeah, building it.
You're making them go to work.
You're setting the kitchen on fire.
We're talking about Sims, by the way.
If you were sitting at home, like, who are they setting on fire, by the way?
Yeah, that sounds horrible.
Come on, we all did it.
Yeah, we did.
We definitely did.
EA have now confirmed that Sims 5 is on its way after seven years since the last Sims 4 was released.
Wow.
Right, so it's been seven years.
It's been seven years, yeah.
There's obviously been a lot of updates in the technology world.
Yeah.
How they found out was on Reddit, the EA, the people that make Sims, that make all these big games, they posted a job.
They said, we know this is where the techies are. We're looking for someone that can make unreal, real-world visual effects,
such as smoke, fire, clouds, and water,
because we're looking at launching something new and exciting
that has sort of been done.
Ooh.
Okay.
So wait, has it been officially confirmed?
EA have confirmed they're doing a multiplayer Sims 5.
So what does that mean?
Does that mean I can say I'm playing Sims at home on my laptop,
I can hook up with Ellie playing her game?
You guys could be neighbours.
That's buzzy.
Or lovers.
Or saucy.
That's all I wanted to play the game for.
I'm sorry, I must have been, you know, a teenager.
I was going through those things.
So was I.
Exploring, you know, and I used to put my Sims in the shower
and then I'd take the shower away and so they'd be showering
and they'd be standing there naked.
It'd be blurry though.
You wouldn't see anything.
It's blurry, right?
It was kind of blurry.
But, you know, I got the gist.
Yeah, same.
Did you ever put them in the pool and then you take out the ladder
from the pool so they'd just swim?
That's mean.
I did that as well.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people did that.
Yeah, we're all just like secretly evil.
We're just crazy.
We are, right?
It was a very good game.
It was.
It was very addictive.
Because I was looking at the Sims 4 and how many they made of them.
They made 17 different expansion packs.
Yeah, there was like Sims pets you were saying.
University, nightlife, pets like you said, season.
That's right.
Holiday, bon voyage. Oh, season. That's right. Holiday, bon voyage.
Oh, yeah.
What would they make now?
What would the expansion packs be now?
Best Instagram spots on the Sims universe.
Yeah, that's good.
Sims Instagram edition.
How exciting would that be?
Do you reckon they'll have social media?
Like will the Sims themselves now have social media?
Yeah.
Like will you run your own accounts and stuff?
Amazing.
What if you can send, like, you know,
DPs to, like, you know, lovers?
This is getting too much.
I think maybe they don't make the game.
That's like a virtual world in a virtual world.
Exactly.
Imagine if it gets to the point
where you just live as your Sims character
and say people will meet each other
through the game of Sims and then they meet in real life and then get married.
Yeah, who needs Tinder when you've got Sims 5?
Imagine if it's the new Tinder.
Oh, creepy.
So you're going to buy it?
Yeah, I'd still want to do that shower thing where I make them naked.
