Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. G'day guys, I sound like I'm back in the past because I'm in the Dunedin studios. Well you don't anymore, you've been on the crappy microphone for the whole show and then literally with one break to go Brie gets Ellie on the show and I'm like why aren't you using that microphone that Ellie's on? It sounds like 50 times better. My microphone was closer to the beer fridge. I knew it was a convenience thing. I knew it was.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Anyway, it's been a fun show. We have done it by distance today. So see if you can pick that up, keen Trainspotter radio listeners. Do you reckon people can? I don't know. I want to go back and listen to it because I couldn't tell. But I was drunk the whole time. No, I'm just kidding. I want to go back and listen to it because I couldn't tell. But I was drunk the whole time. No, I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:00:49 I've had one beer. Maybe they can tell because there's a bit of a delay. What are you talking about? There's no delay. I said maybe they can tell because there's a bit of a delay. No, I'm pretty sure there's not a delay. What do you mean you can't hear the delay? Oh, sorry, you go.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Wait, are you talking? What? I was going to say, oh, sorry. Wait, you go. I was going to say because there's a bit of a delay. Wait, what did you say? Wait, okay, wait, hold on, you go. Are you there?
Starting point is 00:01:18 Now. Sorry, there's a little bit of a delay. Oh, classic radio. Are we the two most crack up friends on the radio? I think we might be. Oh, classic radio. Are we the two most crack up friends on the radio? I think we might be. We're so funny. Oh my God, we've got to go because Bree's got to go and be the oldest person at a toga party tonight.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Hey, Ellie's the second oldest. I'm so glad. Last year I was there with you and I'm three years older than you and I was by far the oldest person. And then this year, oh, how convenient. I've got a baby and I can't go. So you've had to go. You really are the oldest person. When you get there, oh, how convenient. I've got a baby and I can't go. So you've had to go. You really are the oldest person.
Starting point is 00:01:48 When you get there, you're going to get special parking. Not because you're a VIP, but because they're worried you can't walk that far. And you know what? I will take that pity parking. Enjoy the podcast, everybody. And we'll see you soon. Bye. Bye, guys.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Hey, Google. What's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint by Distance. I'm here in our Auckland studios. Brie, where are you? I am in Dunedin. Oh, Scarfy City, baby. How's it going? Dun studios. Brie, where are you? I am in Dunedin. Oh, Scarpey City, baby. How's it going? Dunners. It's really good, actually. We went out to Tent City,
Starting point is 00:02:30 met some of the students down here, and it's been good. You're obviously there for O-Week, yes? Yeah, we're here for O-Week. We're, producer Ellie and I are hosting the Toga Party tonight, so we've ripped off the bedsheets from our hotels and hopefully we don't
Starting point is 00:02:45 catch an infection, but we're good to go. Has anyone come up to you yet and asked what hall your child is living in this year? Oh, come on. That was rough. That was harsh. I just mean as a 30 year old who's at O-Week, it must just be a different experience. Well, I mean, no, I couldn no, I would not have a child that's old enough to go to uni, thank you very much, unless they were a genius. If you're implying that I'm going to have a genius child, then thank you. I'm not implying anything, mate. Just asking the hard questions that need to be asked. Today on the show, we're going to be doing the ZM Secret Sound. That's back at four o'clock today. We'll give you
Starting point is 00:03:24 a chance to guess it at 4 and 5 o'clock. Bree, yesterday your guess of a sparkler being lit got eliminated. Have you had any more genius brainwaves as to what it might be yet? Look, I've been a bit busy, so I haven't gotten back to the drawing board yet, but I'm keen to figure this thing out because, I mean, the amount of people that's come up to me here in Dunedin today
Starting point is 00:03:44 and were literally peppering me with questions. I'm like, I literally don the amount of people that's come up to me here in Dunedin today and were literally peppering me with questions. I'm like, I literally don't know. We don't know. It's just Soundkeeper Gary that knows. Does Ross Boss know the secret sound? I reckon he knows. Yeah. If you see Ross Boss in the street, bribe him. Yeah, bribe him. He takes bribes.
Starting point is 00:04:00 He'll be the really, really, really ridiculously tall guy. That's Ross Boss. Just go over to him and ask him whatever you like. Actually, really, really ridiculously tall guy. That's Ross Boss. Just go over to him and ask him whatever you like. Actually, mate, speaking of ridiculously tall people, the story I have next is he puts Ross, he makes Ross look like one of the shortest men on the planet. Okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And he has actually been denied something for the last, I think it's maybe 15 to 20 years because of how tall he is. Because he's tall. I thought being tall was like a privilege. You've got everything you want. I'm going to give you the story next. But yeah, I actually feel sorry for him. He's been denied this one basic human right because of how tall he is.
Starting point is 00:04:39 All right, tall people, listen up. We'll give you the details on that after. Sons of Zion. This is Come Home. Bree and Clint. This is ZM. Bree and Clint. Look, mate, I've got a story for the tall people this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Yeah. Which I feel like, I mean, I'm on the cusp. You? I feel like I'm nearly on the cusp for the ladies. How tall are you? Well, I always thought I was nearly six foot, but it turns out I'm actually five, ten and a half. Five, ten and a half.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I think if you're counting the half, you're not tall. Oh. It's on the taller side. Come on, give me that. Taller than some. But we're talking about the really tall, the tallest of the tall. There's a story out today about Brazil's second tallest man who currently lives in Brazil. Where's he from?
Starting point is 00:05:30 He's from Brazil and he's the second tallest man. Anyway, he has been prevented multiple times from getting his driver's license because he's too tall. Why? Okay, how tall is he? Well, are you ready? Yeah. I didn't even think people existed that with this tall, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Yeah, Brazil's second tallest man. Stands at a height of 7 foot 5. Whoa. Yes, I know. So that's 2.26 metres for people who are judging it in the metre spectrum. And apparently he's been denied for, I think, over 25 years a licence because every time he goes to attempt to get his licence, he can drive perfectly fine,
Starting point is 00:06:16 but they say that he's too tall for the vehicle that he's using in the driving test. Convertible. That man needs a convertible. Like I've never heard of it. He needs a convertible stat. Yeah. But then again, his legs wouldn't fit in. Imagine him in an MX-5.
Starting point is 00:06:28 We're in the head department, but his knees would be up around his chin. Well, that's the thing. He needs the cars that we've got as the Black Thunders. He needs a Jeep Wrangler and then take the roof off it and probably take the doors off for him as well because he's so big and just cruise around like that. I know.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Isn't it wild to think that he actually doesn't fit in a car? Yeah. He couldn't get an Uber. Well, no. He could never get an Uber. He'd have to get an Uber, one of the big Ubers, Uber Max, and sit in the back back. Yeah, he'd have to get that every time.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Also, what does he do when he catches a flight? Yeah, well, he would have to be in an exit row. He'd have to be... Would he even fit in an exit row is what I'm saying though. Okay, cargo hold. Put him in the cargo hold. Put him in the cargo hold. Is this tallest, what we're talking about? Is this like, is this derogatory
Starting point is 00:07:16 to tall people? No, it's just literally problems that tall people would have. They need to think about these things because obviously these people, you know, they exist. They need to be, you know, obviously catered for. He'd have to have a custom-built house. He would.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Everything would have to be custom-built. His bed would have to be custom-built. I also looked into how big his shoe size is. Yeah. Size 52 shoes. No, but what's that in? Oh, true. I haven't done that What's the conversion It's a size 19
Starting point is 00:07:49 Oh size 19 Yeah that's seriously impressive That's pretty big He would only be able to wear basketball shoes He'd only have to That'd be it Surely there's only people that make basketball shoes Either that or the place where Ronald McDonald buys his shoes from
Starting point is 00:08:02 That'd be about the extent of it right To put it into perspective I'd be about the extent of it, right? To put it into perspective, though. I'd be like, man, you really love red shoes, don't you? He's like, no, well, here's a fun fact, I don't. This is all that fits. Like LeBron James, how tall is he? I think he's seven foot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:16 The NBA has a few seven footers, but seven foot five is a whole other category. It's next level. You know how tall the tallest man in Brazil is? Because I looked into that as well because I was interested. No, no idea. The tallest man in Brazil currently stands at 7 foot 8 inches. Yeah, that's a whole lot of man. He's nearly 8 foot.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yeah, yeah. Jeez. That's a whole lot of man, isn't it? Yeah, right. I wanted people to call this afternoon because I feel like there'd be a lot of people who could relate to this where they're like, oh, I'm a really tall person and I also have certain things that I struggle with in my everyday life because of my height. You only think of it as being a positive because everyone likes tall, dark and handsome
Starting point is 00:09:00 and you can reach things and you can play special sports like that. But there must be issues that you face as a tall person as well, right? Absolutely. And I want those people to call 0800DIALZM or you can text us on 9696. What are your everyday struggles because you're so tall? Tall men and tall women we'd like to hear from this afternoon on 0800DIALZM. Bree and Clint. Talking about Brazil's second tallest man currently standing at 7 foot 5.
Starting point is 00:09:29 He might still have some growing to do. I don't know. He's 47, so I think he's done all his growing. But he's been repeatedly denied getting his driver's license because they've deemed him too big to fit in the car that he takes his tests in. You're too big to fit in here. Literally. That's what the car says. That's what he goes to fit in the car that he takes his tests in. You're too big to fit in here. Literally. That's what the car says.
Starting point is 00:09:47 That's what Wendy goes to get in. For a bit of perspective, you said he's 7'5". LeBron James, the current king of basketball, is only 6'9". So he's tiny compared to this guy. He's a little fella compared to Brazil's second tallest man. It's also some context. He's about the same height as 14 six-inch
Starting point is 00:10:08 subways. Yeah, alright. That was pretty good math by me. Yeah, good work. We've got some people on who are tall and they're going to let us know what they have struggled with being tall. Yeah, that's what we want, what they've been excluded from. Alex is here. Hi, Alex.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Hi, Alex. Hey, how's it going? Good. First of all, how tall are you, Alex? Well, I'm 6'4", almost 6'5". Yeah, you're a tall man. Okay, that's pretty decent. Yeah. And what struggles do you face?
Starting point is 00:10:34 Oh, like when you go to the supermarket, everyone asks you, hey, can you grab that off the top shelf? That's the biggest one. That's the biggest one. And it happens all the time. Right. Okay. That's fair enough. It's nice to biggest one. And it happens all the time. Right. Okay. That's fair enough.
Starting point is 00:10:45 It's nice to be useful, you know? The opposite would be that you are below eyeline and people are like, hey, can you pick up my phone for me or something? Yeah, I'd much rather reach for things. But no, fair enough. Thank you for the insight. Let's go to Ashley.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Ashley's here. Hi, Ashley. Hi, Ashley. Oh, hang on. Where's she gone? Hi, Ashley. Hi. There she is. Ashley, hang on. Where's she gone? Hi, Ashley. Hi. There she is.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Ashley, how tall are you? Nothing compared to six foot four, but I'm six foot at the moment. That's pretty tall. How old are you? In terms of a female, pretty tall. 17 at the moment. Yeah, okay. Whoa!
Starting point is 00:11:20 So you've been obviously quite, when did you have your growth spurt? Like how long have you been that tall for? Well, I've always been like quite tall for my age. I don't really remember a real growth spurt. For me, because I remember, because I mean, I'm not as tall as you. I'm 5'10 and a half. Don't forget the half. I was this tall from when I was 13.
Starting point is 00:11:43 From birth. That's interesting. Ashley, what are the challenges you face as a tall woman? Definitely shoes. Buying shoes is very hard. What size foot have you got? I'm a woman's 14 at the moment. A woman's 14?
Starting point is 00:11:58 What are you, Bree? I'm an 11. Yeah, right. Okay. And I struggle, so I can't even imagine, Ashley, how much you would struggle. Why don't you just get into men's shoes? Why don't you just rock? I have to wear men's sneakers.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I was going to say, yeah, because men wear so many different options of high heels. Yeah, no, that's a very good point. Angela's here. Hi, Angela. Hello. Angela. How tall are you? No, it's not me.
Starting point is 00:12:22 It's my son. My son is 6'7", and I'm 5'3". So, yeah, that was a bit of a random surprise. He's 6'7", you're 5'3". Yeah, I don't know. There's some weird throwback, or he was swapped at birth. We're not sure. How tall is the dad?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Oh, he's only 6'1", and our other son is only 5'11", which is what you'd expect with us. Whoa! No, our middle one, he's 6'7". Yeah, typical, the middle child, I'm the same, we're all bloody tall. I don't mean to call your anything into question here, Angela, but are you sure the dad is the dad?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Oh, yes, they all look the same, all three out of the same pod. One just happens to be a really tall one in the middle, yeah. I would like to know, Angela, how tall was your milkman? I was going to ask you what challenges your six foot seven son faces, but actually forget him. What challenges do you face? How do you feed someone that size? Yeah, good question. The thing is, he was six foot by the time he was 12. And so, you know, he's just always been tall. It's just all the way he is. And I don't notice him being tall. It's only when I see someone else that they say they're six foot seven and I think, oh my God, he's just always been tall. It's just all the way he is. And I don't notice him being tall.
Starting point is 00:13:25 It's only when I see someone else that they say they're 6'7", and I think, oh, my God, he's a giant. And I think, oh, no, that's my son's size, but I just don't notice it. He's just son's size to you, isn't he? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, son's size. My baby. Angela's ordering in bulk.
Starting point is 00:13:38 That's what she's doing. Lots of bulk. Yeah, you'll never struggle to get anything down off the top shelf and from the back of the pantry for the rest of your life. He's just my big gentle giant. There you go. I love that. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Thanks, Angela. Brie and Clint. Have you been to Disneyland, Brie? I have never been to Disneyland, but my mum has raved on about that place my entire life. Has she been? Yeah, she went when she was in her early 20s and she said it was the most amazing experience ever.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Have you been? Call Mumflex to tell your kid how awesome Disneyland is and you're like, well, cool, can we go? And she's like, nah. Yeah, she took me to Wet and Wild and goes, have fun. It was wet. It wasn't that wild, to be honest. It's too expensive to go.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And by the way, I've already been, so no. I've got here something I ripped straight off the News Hub website, but that's okay. Seven facts about Disneyland. These are quite good. Also, you haven't written these. No, I've never been. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Oh, right. It'll be hard for you to write the facts then. Very hard for me to write the facts. You can bank them up. I don't know if News Hub's been either. They probably ripped it off from somewhere else too. Yeah, has this person been? How do we know?
Starting point is 00:14:50 I don't know, but they're quite good facts. So would you like to hear seven facts about Disneyland? Yeah, go on. Okay, the first fact I've got about Disneyland is there are 200, over 200 feral cats that live at Disneyland. Is there? Yeah, 200 feral cats. You know Disneyland. Is there? Yeah, 200 feral cats. You know what?
Starting point is 00:15:07 Doesn't surprise me. Can you imagine the hot dogs and the popcorn? It'd be a free-for-all buffet for those cats. Also, apparently they don't cull the cats, which is a horrible thing to do anyway, but they don't restrict them because they help with the rat problem. And that's a real fact.
Starting point is 00:15:23 They help with the rodent problem at Disneyland. Right. Do you think that for the latest movie that they created, you know, the Cats movie, that they cast all those feral cats from Disneyland and then now they've let them run loose in there? No, they cast James Corden. Yeah, no, but the rest of the cast they let free in Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:15:42 No, it was like Rebel Wilson and other famous people. I've heard rebels strolling around Disneyland. Okay, fact two. Is that what you're saying? Do you want to know fact two about Disneyland? Yeah. Disneyland is second only to the US government in the amount it spends on explosives. Oh, fireworks.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Fireworks. They do a fireworks display every night, and that display costs $78,000 a night. You're having a laugh. Which means Disneyland spends $29 million a year on fireworks alone. Yeah. Well, I mean, if you look at what Sydney Harbour spends on New Year's fireworks. Yeah. They spend, I think, if you look at what Sydney Harbour spends on New Year's fireworks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 They spend, I think, a couple of million on fireworks. So, I mean, you know. So, fireworks are expensive. That's my point. That's where I was getting to. Okay, fact number three about Disneyland. 45,000 people a day go to the Los Angeles Disneyland alone. 45,000 people. day go to the Los Angeles Disneyland alone. 45,000 people.
Starting point is 00:16:46 You're not impressed. That's a lot. I mean, I'm just kind of thinking, you know, 45,000 people went to Elton John the other night. Yeah, but, no, 35. 45,000 people is the population of Invercargill going to Elton John every single day. Okay, that's quite a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Yeah. Well, then again, there's not many people in Invercargill, so, no, maybe I'm with you. That's not an interesting fact. Get rid of that one. Here's a fact for you. Disneyland has only closed three times in its history. Like, been closed for the day.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Like, been closed the whole day. What were the reasons? First time Disneyland ever closed was when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Wow, okay. Second time Disneyland ever closed was when there was a 6.7 magnitude earthquake in the area. Yeah. And the third time and the last time Disneyland closed was on 9-11. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:33 They're only three days. Yeah. Nothing else has caused Disneyland to close since then. Number five, I've got seven facts about Disneyland. Disneyland is a no-fly zone. You're not allowed to fly over Disneyland. In fact, you're not allowed to fly a plane within five kilometres of Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah, but what if you want to just fly your family drone and get a few shots of the family on the teacups? Yeah, no. No, not allowed. So we can't fly the drone over the teacups? That's ever since 9-11 as well. They put in a flight ban at 9-11. That's fair enough. Number six, did you know Disneyland
Starting point is 00:18:04 invented Doritos? Disneyland are the people who created Doritos. It was a way of them getting rid of old, stale tortilla chips. They covered them in heaps and heaps of flavouring, and that is what became Doritos in the end. Is that true? Yeah, it's true, yeah. And so they sold the brand, it became Doritos.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I think they use fresh chips now. If you've read it on an article, must be true. Well, don't ask me, mate. Ask News Hub where I stole this from. And number seven on my seven facts about Disneyland that I definitely wrote. There's a secret club at Disneyland called Club 33. And to join Club 33 costs $62,000 a year. And it's open to a limited number of people at any one time.
Starting point is 00:18:45 But if you join, you get to go through to like a secret bar and drink fancy cocktails. And the rest of Disneyland is alcohol free. Really? Yeah. I wonder who's a part of that club, like famous people, obviously. Yeah, if you go there, that's where it's like when Channing Tatum went there with Jessie J. He would be in that bar. That's the part of Disneyland that they'll get shown into, Club 33.
Starting point is 00:19:06 It's like the Kuru Lounge of Disneyland. Sounds good to me. I'd be keen for that. There you go. Those are my seven facts about Disneyland. You definitely wrote and did not steal from any other websites. Thanks for joining me. Hey, if you've ever cost your work a lot of money,
Starting point is 00:19:25 this story might make you feel better. There's a set of furniture removers in Canada who are having a pretty rough week this week after they cost their company a lot of money. Now, they were moving a piano that belonged to one of Canada's top classical pianists. Her name is Angela Hewitt. I already feel sick. Are you familiar with Angela Hewitt. I already feel sick.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Are you familiar with Angela Hewitt? Yes, I love her work. I do too. Not as much as Beethoven, but I do love Angela's work. Yeah, she's good. They were moving her piano, which turned out, I don't know if they knew this or not, to be one of the world's rarest pianos.
Starting point is 00:20:01 It was worth $300 thousand dollars and they dropped it drop wait wait where did they drop it from so they were moving it from a recording studio down a flight of stairs out to the truck up onto the truck and the story doesn't specify but somewhere along the way they dropped it broke the the iron frame within the piano, and this piano, which is worth $300,000, is not repairable. I can just picture them trying to get this piano, $300,000 piano, down the stairs, and I can just picture them looking at each other. Pivot! Pivot!
Starting point is 00:20:40 If you want to know what the sound of a piano going downstairs sounds like, this is it. Yeah, that's rough. Have you ever done that before? Cost your work a lot of money? Oh, I was going to say dropped a piano. The most I've ever cost my work was when I worked in a gas station and I filled up someone's oil. And you stole fuel.
Starting point is 00:21:03 No, and I stole their car. No, I left the oil cap off the top of the engine. And they drove away and the engine spewed oil out all throughout the engine bay of the car and started smoking. But I don't know how much that cost. I was only 14. I was like, well, you hire a 14-year-old, mate. You get whatever you deserve. What about you?
Starting point is 00:21:23 Yeah, have you cost your work any money? Look, a few times. I was driving the brand new, it was literally brand new, promo vehicle. And they had those new fancy mirrors on the cars. And they were the ones where you could, you know, obviously electronic mirrors. Oh, yeah. And I was driving and, yeah, took the mirror clean off. Oh, you hit something on the way past?
Starting point is 00:21:47 Yeah. That would be all right though, wouldn't it? No, I think it cost about $1,200 to fix. Yeah, right, okay. Which, I mean, isn't ideal. And then this other time I was with someone working on this thing and we had a brand new generator and we've taken it to the petrol station. And I didn't tell this guy whether to put diesel or unleaded into the generator because it literally said it on the cap.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Anyway, he put diesel into a petrol generator and $3,000 later. Oh, yeah. Completely ruined the generator. Yeah, it'd be stuffed. Yeah. Okay, well, you've got the record amongst us, $3, yeah. Completely ruin the generator. Yeah, it'd be stuffed. Yeah. Okay, well, you've got the record amongst us, $3,000. It's nowhere near that $300,000, but we'd love to know on 0800DALZM this afternoon,
Starting point is 00:22:34 did you cost your work a lot of money? Doesn't matter whether you kept your job or lost your job, and even if you're in the same job and you want to be anonymous, we can do that for you, but we'd love to hear from you this afternoon. 0800DALZM or text us on 9696. How much money did you cost your work? And are you willing to have the guts to call us and tell us about it?
Starting point is 00:22:54 And are you proud of it, maybe? Did you cost your work a lot of money? We're talking about these guys in Canada who are movers by trade and they dropped a $300,000 piano, and it broke. Do you reckon they were insured? I don't know. It doesn't say whether they were insured or not. You'd hope if they were a big moving company they would be,
Starting point is 00:23:13 but there's a chance that they're not, that they're just an independent. Which, if you've got a $300,000 piano to move, that's your fault for booking the cheap guys, you know? Yeah, true. You should be spending the money. I mean, we've all done something at one point, haven't we? Yeah, actually we were just talking about that before and we've had quite a few messages about you
Starting point is 00:23:30 Bree, asking how did you overlook that time you cost our work all that money on your phone bill? We don't talk about that anymore on this show. Last Christmas Bree went home to Australia and used her New Zealand phone on global roaming for a whole month.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And wasn't the phone bill like $11,000? Anyway, moving on, we've got a lot of good text. I told you we don't talk about that anymore. So that's okay. You have the record. Okay, currently I've got the record. Great. There's one really good text here.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Someone said, I misspelt the word entries on a nationwide billboard marketing campaign. It read, Entieties. It costs $35,000 to fix. Oh, no. Old school billboards where you have to get them printed. That's terrible. But again, is it really your fault? Someone should be in charge of proofreading. I guess that's you. You're in charge of proofreading. Yeah, that's you. Hey, Ali. Hey, how's it going? Yeah, good. Did you cost your work a lot of money?
Starting point is 00:24:30 Well, I did. I was unloading the truck and dropped a few ovens. It cost them a few thousand dollars to replace. Bring new ovens. Dropped a few ovens. Can you relate to these guys who drop the piano then? Like, you're in charge of moving heavy, heavy things that are worth a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Are you covered? Like, does your work go, oh, that's all right, we'll get this one? Or do they pass it on to you? They didn't pass it on to me. I'm assuming they have liability insurance.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Yeah, right. Right. You just weren't trusted with the big jobs anymore, maybe. Okay, thanks, Ali. Let's talk to Vaughan. Hey, Vaughan. Hi, Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:25:02 How you going? How you doing? Good, thanks, Vaughan. When have you Hi Vaughan How you doing? Good thanks Vaughan When have you cost your workplace a lot of money? A while ago I'm a truck driver A while ago I rode off a couple of vehicles
Starting point is 00:25:14 I cost the company between 50 to 100 grand Pardon me Vaughan He's so happy with it He's laughing about it How did that affect your yearly performance review Vaughan? Oh, he's so happy with it too. He's laughing about it. How did that affect your yearly performance review, Vaughan? Were there any negative repercussions? Not really, no. My boss was pretty good about it, actually.
Starting point is 00:25:35 He was quite decent. Right. Your boss sounds like the most chill boss ever. Yeah, right? Vaughan's still laughing about it. He goes, it was actually pretty funny. Yeah, you've got to be able to laugh about Yeah, right? Lord, still laughing about it. He goes, it was actually pretty funny. Yeah, you've got to be able to laugh about it, right? Jared's here too. Hey, Jared.
Starting point is 00:25:51 How you going, mate? How you going? Good. When did you cost your workplace a lot of money? What happened? Well, I'm also a truck driver as well. This is a few years back. Yeah, and I was delivering chemicals to a laundromat in Queenstown.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And I ended up putting the wrong stuff in the wrong stuff, and I made a chlorine gas. I evacuated half of one of the main streets in Queenstown, and I think the end bill was about $350,000. Oh! Whoa! And you caused a chemical emergency. Yeah $350,000. Oh! Whoa! And you caused a chemical, like, emergency. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:32 There was choppers and stuff had to get flown from Dunedin and all that sort of carry-on. Right. When someone costs their workplace $350,000, do you keep your job? Ah, well, I end up staying there. You work for free for the next five years. Yeah, right. I end up staying there
Starting point is 00:26:46 for a bit, but yeah, because of that, it turned a bit dirty, so I end up leaving. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah, I'd be getting out of there too.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Can you imagine every time you went in there, they'd be like, oh, that guy. And you'd go into the next job too and they'd go, any references?
Starting point is 00:26:58 And you'd go, nah, actually, this is my very first job ever. Ever. Brie and Clint. Brie coming to us live from Dunedin today where Elton John did successfully complete a concert,
Starting point is 00:27:09 I think about two weeks ago now, didn't he? Yes, he did. That was one of the concerts that went ahead. I've already talked to a few people here who were feeling sorry for me because I now don't get to go to Elton John until next year. Yeah, that's the news out today that the shows that were going to be postponed
Starting point is 00:27:26 to today and tomorrow are now being postponed to 2021 because Elton needs – Not long to wait. Yeah, he needs more time. Just another year. To get better. Those shows aren't going to happen. I'm going to come out and say it. Why would you say that to me?
Starting point is 00:27:40 I don't think they're going to happen. I think that he's – He's going to die. No, no, no, no, not that at all. No. That's what everyone's saying. Everyone's making the joke. I mean, he's got a super hectic concert tour.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yeah, his schedule is hectic. And he's in his 70s. Not that people in their 70s aren't capable. It's just it's such a high energy show. And if he's got pneumonia or walking pneumonia into the tour already, they're just going to go, all right, we've got to slash and burn. Because Elton John staying alive is more important than Elton John coming back for two more concerts.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Well, you know what? I would rather him just tell it to us straight now than make us wait a year and then in a year's time disappoint us again. Yeah, so you don't get to go at all. Producer Ben is actually one of the biggest Elton John fans I know. And you and I got to go to the Sunday night show so we've seen two thirds of Elton John's show. Yeah we have and it was incredible.
Starting point is 00:28:30 So Ben went and bought another ticket for what was going to be tonight's show. Yes tonight. Which is now cancelled which shows you how much of a fan he is and yet I find this really interesting Bree. Ben is also one of the people who is now saying
Starting point is 00:28:45 he deserves a refund or at least a partial refund on the first gig of Elton John that he went to. Not a true fan. Not a true fan. What's your logic there, Ben? How can you justify
Starting point is 00:28:56 taking poor old Elton John Yeah, right. who has walking pneumonia to the cleaners because you didn't get to see six or seven songs at the end of the show? I am not bothered about not seeing six or seven songs.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I think that concert is by far the best concert I've ever been in my life. Sounds like you are bothered to me. Yeah, sounds like it. But those tickets cost me $1,400. Whoa! And I was like, $200, $300 might be nice back. Yeah, I can see that.
Starting point is 00:29:20 So it can cover the cost of me paying for a ticket tonight, which I can't go to. Yeah, right. What you're saying is, is that you're cheap. Well, arguably he's not cheap because he laid out $1,400 in the first place. I'm just trying to steer him. I think, to be honest, in my opinion, people who want a refund, I see it from their side.
Starting point is 00:29:40 People who don't want a refund, I also see it from their side. Here's the thing, though. Elton John played an hour and 45 minutes. It's true. Most gigs are usually about an hour and a half to two hours tops. People are only annoyed because they know that Elton was going to play for three hours because that's what he did at the gigs prior. You know?
Starting point is 00:30:00 So arguably you've had a full show and people are going, well, I heard there should have been more. It's like I said to you, Clint. It's like you go to a restaurant and they bring out, you know, half, three quarters of the meal and they say, look, our cooking stuff, it broke, the oven's broken down halfway through, but here's three quarters of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:21 You wouldn't be impressed. But what if that three quarters that you received was actually larger than a full meal at a different restaurant? Or what if it was one of the best meals you've ever had? There it is. That's the other thing, right? I'd probably be pretty stoked. I probably wouldn't care. What you've also got is you've got a completely unique Elton John experience. I know.
Starting point is 00:30:39 No one else, apart from people there on Sunday night, got to see Elton John nearly die from walking pneumonia. And money can't buy that. Oh, my from walking pneumonia. And money can't buy that. Oh, my God. You know, money can't buy that. Well, you weren't... Mate, they had St. John's on the stage. He's a person.
Starting point is 00:30:51 I know he's a person. And Ben wants to take him to the cleaners to get some of his money back. How do you think he affords those Gucci sunglasses that he wears on stage? I don't know, but I want a pair. Not by giving out refunds, that's for sure. Well, in fairness, he's got insurance.
Starting point is 00:31:03 It's not even going to come from him. Yeah, to be fair, it's got absolutely nothing to do with Elton John whatsoever. No. So maybe tuck in. Can you register my refund as well? Yeah, sure. While you're at it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Actually, can you register mine too? Yeah. Yeah. I didn't even go, but... Sort us all out. That'd be great. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As at Herald's new podcast, The Front Page,

Starting point is 00:31:50 Bree and Clint. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop. Have you had your casual eight Wednesday beers again? Excuse me? I have done nothing of the sort. Sorry, I know. It's only six.
Starting point is 00:32:09 It's Halsey and You Should Be Sad on ZM with Bree and Clint. It's a Clint tradition that he has six beers on a Wednesday. He loves it. It's so not true whatsoever. A little bit true. A little bit true. Have you ever heard of the website beautifulpeople.com? No. You've never heard of that website beautiful people.com no you've never heard
Starting point is 00:32:26 of that website before no is it a rude website no it's not it's not a rude website it's actually a dating website and it's a bit controversial um and i've actually talked about this on an old radio show of mine where essentially you upload a picture of yourself to this website and then people who are already a part of the dating website vote you in based on whether they think you're beautiful enough. Oh, ruthless. It's such a ridiculous, like, dating site. It's so dumb. But, you know, we get a few laughs out of it
Starting point is 00:32:59 and it's kind of like, you know, who's really taking this seriously? Have you put yourself on it? Yeah, so we did it for me, and we put one of the ugliest photos I've ever taken on there. Oh, yeah? And, you know, shock horror, I didn't get accepted. Didn't get in. Pretty disappointed.
Starting point is 00:33:14 It's true. It'd be fun to put our regular selves in. You want to do it? No, I don't want to be on a dating website. No, but we could just upload our pictures and see if we got accepted. I just don't think it can lead to good things if we end up. To be honest, I don't really care if I get accepted or not to a website that's doing that kind of stuff. But this is kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And, I mean, I'm not taking this too seriously. has released figures as to depending on where people are from, who is essentially the nationality that gets accepted the least. Does that make sense? This seems like dangerous territory, but yes, I get what you mean. Essentially, what it's saying, to put it harshly, where do the ugliest people come from? According to these self-determined beautiful people. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:34:06 But do you want to know? That's the important bits. No, absolutely I want to know. Of course you want to know. So some of the first statistics, and I found this quite shocking, and I do not agree with this. Apparently the second least attractive people,
Starting point is 00:34:22 based on this website, are from Britain. Oh. Only 9% of British male applicants, so this is for the male gender, were successful in getting added to this website. Yeah. Which I think is, I mean, David Beckham, hello. Yeah, but one hot man does not a nationality make.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Nah, I think the Brits are hot. Incredibly tight pants is what I'll say about the British men at the moment. And I like that. Don't mind it. You like them Love Island tight? Oh, maybe that's a little bit too tight. That's what I'm talking about. I want some circulation into the jewels.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Yeah, right? That's what I'm worried about for those guys, their future breeding potential. Yeah, exactly. So Britain comes in at number two. Yes. And the least accepted was the Irish men. Oh, that's racist to my people. Are you Irish?
Starting point is 00:35:20 Yeah, part Irish, yeah. Oh, there you go. No, Irish men. Irish men, only 6% of people from Ireland that were male got accepted to this website. Do women still vibe an Irish accent? Is that something that you guys get into? I don't mind an Irish man accent, yeah. And is that the issue that they're just judging it on photos? Well, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Because I feel like an exotic accent like that can really get someone over the line. Over the line, yeah. And I mean, personality stuff. Maybe it's just a tan situation. Maybe it's no one from that region of the world. Because some of the Irish men were interviewed about this. They asked them how they felt or whatever. And a lot of them said they reckon it was because they get no sun.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Yeah, right, okay. That's salting the wounds to go up to an Irish person and go, Sir, why do you think you've been voted the ugliest people in the world? What is your opinion on that? Do you want to know who was the most successful male applicants? Yeah. Of course, and this is no shock to me,
Starting point is 00:36:22 the Swedish were the most accepted males with 60% of them being accepted to the site. Really? That's disappointing. It's just fairly generic. You know, it just seems like a default category. Good for you guys. Well done
Starting point is 00:36:37 Sweden. Let's have a round of the Nickname Origin game. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. Nickname Origins. We've got to update that intro. I mean, we say it every time, but... We've got to update that intro.
Starting point is 00:36:53 It's just horrific. It's just horrific. All you've got to do is tell us your nickname. Brie and I will try and guess how you got that nickname. And if you have the best nickname origin story, then you're going to win some free mobile fuel off us. Yeah, that's how we play. Let's start with Renee. Hi, Renee.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Hey, yes it is. What's your nickname? Yeah, what's your nickname? My nickname is Rampage. Rampage. Rampage Renee. Okay, where does she get the nickname? Was she in the UFC and her name was
Starting point is 00:37:24 Rampage Renee? Maybe. Maybe she gets, once she has a few tequila shots, she gets, you know, a little bit cray-cray. I think that's possibly more accurate. Maybe she rides bulls for a living. Professional bull rider. Judging by her laughter in the background,
Starting point is 00:37:45 I'd say it's drinking related Yeah, she gets a little bit rampage-y on a few bourbons On a few alcoholic drinks of any sort Renee, is that how you got your nickname? It's not, unfortunately I wish it was, though Why do they call you Rampage? I started out with a new personal trainer
Starting point is 00:38:04 And he just thought I looked really angry when I concentrated, and he was like, right, you're going to lift some heavy stuff, and we're going to call you Rampage because you just look like a real angry person. Your other nickname could be resting bitch face. Okay, that's Renee's. Let's get Rhiannon on. Hi, Rhiannon. Hi, Rhiannon.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Hi, guys. What's your nickname? My nickname's Rh's. Let's get Rhiannon on. Hi, Rhiannon. Hi, Rhiannon. Hi, guys. What's your nickname? My nickname's Rhino. Rhino. Oh, Rhiannon. Very similar to Rampage Renee. Now, Rhiannon, I, as a child, it's been talked about on this show,
Starting point is 00:38:37 had a lump in the centre of my forehead. It's where they cut the dick off. No, you said that and that's not true. I got called Unicorn Boy. Did she have a lump on her head, Bree, which is why they called her Rhino? I'd like to think no because that's pretty horrible. So I don't want that to be the case. Rhino, Rhino.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Maybe she used to ram a lot of things with her head. What are rhinos? They're horny. Yes. Oh, maybe she's really horny. Rhiannon, do they call you... I'm going to go with that. Let's go with that.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Rhiannon, do they call you Rhino because you're really horny? I wish, but no. I love her answer. I wish. I wish. Okay, why is it Rhino? Why is your nickname Rhino?
Starting point is 00:39:22 So when I was about... This has probably been happening for about 12 years now. I've been gettingino? So when I was about, this has probably been happening for about 12 years now. I've been getting called this. When I was little, my cousins used to antagonize me to the point where I used to try to chase them and just try to push them and hurt them as hard as I could. I told you. You would charge like a rhino.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Yeah. They used to, if I was sitting on the couch and they wanted to sit on my seat, they would push me, pull my hair, rip me off the couch. Ah, and there you go, rhino. Sounds like you could have had Renee's nickname as well, Rampage. Rampage. We'll get one more. Ash is here.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Ash, what's your nickname? G'day, Ash. G'day, g'day. It's Squirt. Ash. Thanks, Ash. Okay. I think it's something, but I'm not going to say it because that's not appropriate.
Starting point is 00:40:10 What about his short people call short people squirt? Get over here, squirt. Yeah. Yeah, it just lends itself to the dirty one. No, that's not the case. Ash, can we ask a question? Is the reason you're called Squirt safe for the radio? It is
Starting point is 00:40:28 safe for the radio, but that's not the right answer. Okay. Okay, well now you've given us a hint. It's a big hint. I'm going to go with it's not because he's short. It's not because he's short. It's because... I've got nothing. I've got nothing.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Why do they call you Squirt, Ash? So growing up, I was a huge Pokemon fan and my favourite Pokemon was Squirtle. Squirtle. How did I not know that? That was my favourite. Ever since then, my mum's always called me Squirt and it's just stuck to this day.
Starting point is 00:41:00 There you go. That's exactly why it is. Yeah, see, I get called Blastoise. I think we give the prize to Resting Bitchface. Do you agree, Brie? Yeah, Resting Bitchface has it. Renee, Resting Bitchface Rampage, congratulations. You have the best nickname origin story today,
Starting point is 00:41:15 and we're going to send you $50 of mobile fuel. Amazing. Thank you so much. RBF. RBF. Bree and Clint. Look, this is a juicy question, and something you might not have thought about too much or maybe it's caused a fight in your new relationship.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Do you keep or delete pictures of your ex on your social media? Very interesting question. And not a question that any other generation before ours has ever had to think about. No. Exactly right. I saw it actually on Fletch Vaughan and Megan's polly poll. It was one of the questions they were asking. Polly poll.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Polly poll, I'm pretty sure it's called. Yeah. Roly poll. Polly moly. Roly moly. Polly moly. Polly moly polly. Polly moly polly.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Polly moly. Oh, polly moly. It was a poll that Fletch Vaughan and Megan asked. Pretty much. Yeah. And it made me think about it because I've had this conversation with a few of my friends before, new people I was dating. It sometimes caused a fight.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Have you ever thought about this? Or are you in the generation where you probably didn't really have to think about it? Excuse me? Well, I'm just saying you've been in a relationship for like 100 years. I have not. I've been in a relationship for like 100 years. I have not. I've been in a relationship for about six years. That's a fair while. Yeah, but Facebook's been around for ages.
Starting point is 00:42:31 And so, yeah, it's an interesting question because my previous relationship is all on my Facebook back in the day as well. Like, that's just how you lived your life. You uploaded moments and stuff. And I didn't think to go through after that relationship ended and cull everything. No. And you know when it causes an issue?
Starting point is 00:42:49 Is when you get a Facebook memory pop up. And so when you open your Facebook for the first time that day, the memory just pops up and you don't choose your memory and it'll go, here's your Facebook memory from 10 years ago and it's you and your ex. And you might be there with your current partner and then that comes up and they go, why is there a picture of you and your ex on your facebook and you go well i didn't i didn't i
Starting point is 00:43:07 didn't mean it to be it's just happened 10 years ago part of my life yeah i think facebook is out for me and this is why i said i don't know if you can really relate because you've been like in a relationship for six years i think instagram is the key yeah because people can literally swipe really quickly down and they can kind of see what you were doing in your life at any certain point. Yeah. Whereas Facebook's a little bit different. Okay. So have you, so have you gone through your Instagram and deleted the photos of your ex? No, I haven't. Um, and there's a reason one I've never thought so much into it or I've never been so angry at someone where I've been like I'm going to delete everything yeah about a person that I actually really cared about at one point you know
Starting point is 00:43:49 yeah um I think there's a time where I would delete pictures of my ex is probably the affectionate really lovey-dovey ones if you start to date someone new yeah out of respect you'd do out of respect and if they felt uncomfortable about it, which I mean that's a conversation between you and your new partner. But I think for me you've shared something with someone and obviously enough to post about it and it's a
Starting point is 00:44:15 story in your life. It's a part of your life. And further to that, this is my other take on it and this might be selfish. I'm in the photos. They're my memories too. Well, yeah, exactly. Like if I delete it, if I delete it, then there goes the memory
Starting point is 00:44:27 of that thing that I was at. Sure, I was there with that person that I'm no longer with, but you can't erase part of your history. No. But at the same time, here's a flip way of looking at it. If you had those pictures
Starting point is 00:44:39 hanging in your house, that would be weird. You'd throw them. If you had pictures of you and your ex hanging up in your house and you had a new partner. That's such a good point. Yeah, it would be weird. You'd throw them. If you had pictures of you and your ex hanging up in your house and you had a new partner. That's such a good point. Yeah, it would be bizarre. And yet we have these online photo albums
Starting point is 00:44:51 that are not just in our house. They're out there for the entire world to see. And they've still got pictures of us in previous relationships. I think pictures at home on your walls is a lot more personal. I know it is. And there's not as many. So maybe that's why. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:45:07 But it's a different lens of looking at it through, isn't it? There's still pictures that you actively or passively have decided deserve to be out there on your public profile. At the same time, I can't be bothered. That's the real truth of it. And what if they're really hot and you want your new partner to see how hot your ex was just to keep him on the toes? Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:45:29 And it's not my ex's problem anymore because they have a new Facebook page. So they're not even tagged in the pictures anymore. All of your exes, they blocked you on everything, didn't they? Absolutely right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they severed ties with me as soon as possible. No. I think the one, it's also acceptable if someone really, really, really hurt you and you don't really want to think about that person anymore,
Starting point is 00:45:52 then yeah, delete them. Yeah. You know, I think that's totally fine. I think, at my core, I think the respectful thing to do would be at least to archive those pictures. Yeah, and just have the memories. Yeah, but you've got to get around to it. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Yeah, well, that's for sure. We want to ask this afternoon on 0800DIALZM, did you keep or did you delete the pictures of your ex and why? Yeah. What was the reason for either or? Yeah. Maybe it was a fight. Maybe it caused an issue.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Yeah, maybe your current partner went back through your timeline and they're like, um, excuse me. Delete those, please. Yeah. 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Brianne Clint. And you know who would delete all their exes off social media? It's Sam Smith. He'd be culling everyone. Yeah. Wouldn't he? Left, right and centre.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Yeah, he's been fairly private about that stuff in the past, hasn't he? So I don't think he runs a huge risk of too many gushy posts up there. That's the thing. Well, they're famous, so yeah, I guess you keep quiet about everything. If you come out of a relationship where you posted everything on social media, then you've got some cleaning up to do, right? That's when it's kind of a little bit more awkward because I go on to people like I went to school with Instagram sometimes because I love a bit of a stalk and I just see what's
Starting point is 00:47:12 going on, who they're dating in their life. And there's some people where you can literally tell where they've broken up with someone. Yeah, because their feed changes. Exactly. So they post so much stuff and then all of a sudden nothing. So you're like, oh, that's obviously they've broken up. Interesting question on the show this afternoon. Do you keep or delete pictures of your ex on social media after you guys break up?
Starting point is 00:47:34 Laura's here. Hi, Laura. Hi, Laura. Hi. What's the deal for you? Exes on social media, have you deleted them or have you kept them? So I personally keep, but another person in my family that keeps theirs is my mother. She keeps some from her childhood
Starting point is 00:47:53 sweetheart. On her social media? No, not on social media, like actual photos and a photo album and my dad actually found them. Alright. How did that go down? He wasn't happy to start with. He thought it was a bit weird that she still kept them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:11 But after that, I think he kind of got over it, realising, you know, they've been married now for 22 years and in a relationship for 36 years. Yeah. So I think he's got over it by now, but at first he was so not happy. Yeah, true. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:24 That's a whole different situation. We talked about first he was so not happy. Yeah, true. Right, okay, that's a whole different situation. We talked about photos in the actual house. Physical photos are a different game altogether. Even more personal. Lauren, hey. Hi, Lauren. Hey, how are you? Good.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Lauren, tell us, have you deleted or have you kept the pictures of your ex on social media? I am the biggest deleter. Really? Really. So every time, no matter what, whether it's an amicable breakup or not, you're deleting it? Yeah, they're gone. And why is that?
Starting point is 00:48:52 You're savage. I just look at it as it's like we've obviously broke up for a reason. So it's part of my past. And, you know, I look at it in the shoes Of my current partner Like how would he feel If he's just scrolling through my Facebook Or Instagram And these random guys just pop up
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah a lot of the time There's lovey dovey stuff In the comments section too Yeah and you know You kind of have to put yourself In his shoes or her shoes And you think well how would they feel I mean I know that if I saw a photo of my
Starting point is 00:49:24 You know Yeah right I'd be like whoa Can I know that if I saw a photo of my, you know. Yeah, right. I'd be like, whoa. Can I ask, what if you start dating someone new and they go on your social media and they're like looking at your Instagram as like a resume and they're like, wow, she's never dated anyone in 15 years. I'm the first guy she's ever put on her Instagram.
Starting point is 00:49:40 What's wrong with her? I've actually had a partner do that before. Right. And I just said that I just don't post them on social media. Right, so you lied in the relationship. Really? Yeah, a little bit. There you go.
Starting point is 00:49:55 We got a good text from someone who said that they delete their exes because they don't want to be reminded of their failures. That's so savage. You know, I don't need to know Where I went wrong In a past life It was their ex-husband too What about the text That says here
Starting point is 00:50:08 I delete off Instagram But not Facebook Mainly because Tinder boys Would get my Instagram And not my Facebook Yeah right But also
Starting point is 00:50:16 My ex is a dick Oh yeah fair enough Um Michaela Hey Michaela Hey team How's it going Going good
Starting point is 00:50:23 Michaela Do you delete your ex's pictures off your social media or just leave them up there to marinate? Well, I actually got married quite young, so I decided to delete all my wedding pictures. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, that's full on.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Yeah, because I don't want to keep being reminded of a dumb mistake I made, so. Yeah, no, I get that. I get that. I get that. But then they're your wedding photos. You would have looked beautiful. You would have spent so much money on it. You would have paid the photographer for those photos.
Starting point is 00:50:53 There's not part of you who wants to keep them at all. Or Photoshop him out of them. Now, that would have been good. Yeah, yeah. Maybe I should have done that. Maybe I should have done that. I think maybe I've got one where it's just me. It's like, oh, well, that happened, but...
Starting point is 00:51:07 And you're like, and someone asks you, they're like, oh, did you, where's your husband and all these? You're like, nah, married myself. No, I just wanted to wear the wedding dress for the sake of it, eh? Yeah. I love that. Here's my genius invention. I've just invented it.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Can I say what it is? Yeah, what's that? It's an app where you put a person's name, you register your social media in there, so your Facebook or your Instagram, you put that person's handle or their tag in there, and it goes over your social media and finds every single photo on your profile
Starting point is 00:51:37 that has them in there, and then you can delete them all in one go, or you can choose to hide them all in one go. That would be amazing. I wish that existed for real life sometimes. Oh, I don't have the time
Starting point is 00:51:48 to go through. That was seven years in my life. No one has time to go through and delete all of them. No one's got the time. You should be able
Starting point is 00:51:53 to mass cull pictures of you with so and so, you know? Or just create a new account. Yeah, just torch your social media and start again.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Yeah, literally. I don't mind that as well. Bree and Clint. Time for Birthday Banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's Birthday Banger. Clint, Birthday Banger, very popular here down in Dunedin.

Who, from memory, were these the ones who came second, like the leftovers of the British season of Popstars? I think they might have been, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:43 So Popstars, which produced True Bless and Bardo and then went over to the UK. I loved this song. It was a good one, right? I thought it was great. Do you like it, Lisa? Do you remember Liberty X? Yeah, and I was a fan of Popstars.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Yeah, right. It was a great TV show. It was a great show. Started everything. Okay, let's do one more from Kieran. Hey, Kieran. Hi, Kieran. Kia ora.

Starting point is 00:54:52 Just a rapper. Right, cool. What do you like, Bessa? Never heard of that song. You've never heard De Harmo, We Gone Ride? No, is that the same guy as the comedian? Is that him? No, that's Di Hinwood.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Oh. Similar. I'm so bloody Australian, it's disgusting. No, but that's a funny confusion to make. I like that. Well, I mean, it looks very similar to me, their names. Well, I see them in person and they do not look similar at all. Right, got it.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Okay, so are we going to go with Clean Bandit, Rather Be, the song that you got cheated onto? Are we going to go with Liberty X, just a little bit? Or are we going to go with Di X just a little bit or are we going to go with Die Henwood, We Gone Ride? I feel after those comments I need to go with Die Henwood. Die Hamo? Yeah, I mean Die Hamo.

Starting point is 00:59:53 It's weird because I'm actually in the Dunedin studios at the moment. You're up in Auckland. Yeah, hi. I can see you on Facebook. G'day, guys. Producer Ellie and I are actually in Dunedin for tonight, for O-Week. We're hosting the Toga Party, which we're excited about, which meant this morning we caught a flight with the lovely Air New Zealand,
Starting point is 01:00:14 and they were great, and it was very early in the morning. How early? What time was it, Producer Ellie? Oh, we were there at about just before 7. Yeah, just before 7, caught a flight out at 7.30, so it was quite early for us. Yeah, it was early oh we were there at about just before seven yeah yeah four seven caught a flight out at 7 30 so it was quite early yeah it's early enough yeah we do drive so it's quite early yeah produce ellie and i weren't actually sitting next to each other she was sitting further up the plane because she's fancier than me nah and i was sitting towards the back of the plane. But when we got off the flight, Ellie was telling me about how one of the Air New Zealand flight attendants was talking to her about me.
Starting point is 01:00:54 So halfway through the flight, I needed to go to the toilet. So I made my way down the back of the plane. And as I walked past Bree's seat, there she was lying there trying to sleep, looking very, very sexy. I wasn't trying to sleep. Clint, have you ever seen, you know, those people on a plane that are the ugliest sleepers in the world? Yeah, that's me. Yeah, that's me too.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Yeah, yeah, I'm a full mouth open, head tilted forward sleeper. I have a neck back, look like I'm literally a zombie. Like I just look terrible. And I know I do, but I don't care. No. Because I just want to sleep. Exactly right. But I know I do, but I don't care. No. Because I just want to sleep. Exactly right. But I got down to the back of the plane,
Starting point is 01:01:28 and there were four flight attendants down there, and I was waiting for my turn in the loo. But you saw me as you walked past, right? I did. I was like, ha-ha, a little chuckle to myself. Kind of wish I had my phone on me. Didn't. And then I got to the flight attendants waiting for the toilet,
Starting point is 01:01:40 and one of them goes, oh, what are you guys going down for? And I said, oh, we're going down to host the MC toga party. Because at this point you didn't know if they'd recognised you from our show or not, Clint. I thought she was just making chat with me. So when I said, oh, we're going to host the toga party, she goes, oh, yeah, I just saw your friend Bree down there. If you've got a phone, she's got a really good photo up there. Her mouth is wide open.
Starting point is 01:02:02 She's fast asleep. Let's go get her. And I was like, whoa, okay. I like this woman. Literally getting called out by the air hostess on the Air New Zealand flight. I respect that, you know. No, I know. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yeah. Because, I mean, I would do the exact same to anyone else. Yeah, great. So what I want to know is where's the photo? Yeah, no. So I didn't have my phone. And I really, really let everyone down here. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 01:02:26 That story sucks. You got this great build up and the Air New Zealand flight attendants teeing you up for one of the greatest stitch-ups of the week. And we could get a photo of Brie with her mouth open. We could have photoshopped anything we want going into her mouth. And you were telling me the story
Starting point is 01:02:43 concludes with, yeah, and then we didn't take the photo. Yep. Well, it wasn't my fault. Can you imagine one of the flight attendants walking down there and everyone's looking at her. She pulls out her phone and goes, shh, takes a photo of me. She can't do that. We could have done like a TikTok video where the kid that they get
Starting point is 01:03:00 to give out the lollies, they're like taking three-point shots trying to land them in Bree's mouth. That would have been good. Missed opportunity, guys. I'm disappointed. We're catching an early flight tomorrow. There's always tomorrow. Wonderful.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Watch this space. Okay, we'll chill out. Keep your phone on you next time then. Yeah, I will. Hey, you know how there's that urban legend that phone companies are slowing down your phone when they put out a new phone? No, this is not an urban legend. This is something that I've been saying for years and the reason I avoid doing updates on my phone.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Particularly iPhone. When I used to be on iPhone, I found that as soon as the new phone got announced, you know how they did the big announcements? Mysteriously. Mysteriously, your camera would look a bit worse and your battery would drain faster and your apps wouldn't load as easily. Or you couldn't download something. Yeah, just strange timing, right? As soon as there was the ability for you to spend money on an upgrade,
Starting point is 01:03:57 the one that was perfectly good yesterday all of a sudden didn't work as well. Well, people called us suspicious, but a lawsuit has been filed and deliberated, decided, resulted in Apple... Did you take the bar? Yeah, I did, yeah. Apple being slapped with a $42.74 million fine for deliberately slowing down older iPhone models.
Starting point is 01:04:27 I mean, that fine for them is a drop in the ocean, but that makes me angry. Doesn't it just? In 2017, the company admitted it issued updates which slowed down the performance of, this is good, you need to know what iPhone you've got if you're an iPhone user. iPhone 6, iPhone 7, which is, I think that's the iPhone that
Starting point is 01:04:48 they, yeah, well, actually no, iPhone 6, iPhone 7. What phone does Producer Ben have right now? An iPhone SE. I think Producer Ben's on a 7 or something, yeah. Yeah, I had a 4 for Eva and then I've just changed to an 8 recently, so pretty good. How did you have a 4 up until like a year
Starting point is 01:05:03 ago? Just because I suited it. It was fine. It was perfect. I liked how it was. I suited it. It was pocket size. It suited it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Anyway, so the truth has come out. Yeah, they say the reason that they did it was because the new updates couldn't run on the old batteries as well. What a load of BS. What a load of BS. You know what? For this reason, they shouldn't have said $42 million because that means we get nothing. No, it doesn't matter how much they find them because you've already. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:05:32 You know what? They should have fined them. They should have fined them. They should have said, you know what? Your punishment is that you have to bring back every headphone jack on every new iPhone ever again. Brie and Clint. Brie's live from Dunedin today. Come in, Brie.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Yes, hello. Live here from Dunners reporting. I'm not going to talk like that for the rest of the break. I actually wanted to tell you about a study that I found which you, me, producer Ellie, producer Ben, we all have this thing that apparently this study says
Starting point is 01:06:03 makes us happier. Money. No. No. Is it money? No, not money. No, not money. Regular indoor gardening.
Starting point is 01:06:15 No, I'm just kidding. No, not that either. Although I think that'd be all right. Apparently this study says that if you have a sister, it makes you a happier person. Okay, what's the science? What is it about having a sister that makes you happy? So apparently more than 570 people aged between 17 and 25 took part in a study where essentially they asked psychology questions about a number of different topics, including mental health.
Starting point is 01:06:48 And the research showed that participants who grew up with sisters were encouraged to communicate openly about their feelings, which in turn gave them a more positive outlook on life. Right. So having a sister makes you talk about your feelings. Is that the gist of it? I could have told you that. Girls love to talk. Does it mean that you talk about your feelings. Is that the gist of it? I could have told you that. Girls love to talk.
Starting point is 01:07:06 Does it mean that you talk about your feelings with your sister? Because I don't. You don't? Not that I wouldn't, but it's not been my experience of having a sister. Has it been your experience? No, I probably talk more about in-depth stuff with my brother. I do talk to my sister as well,
Starting point is 01:07:24 but my brother and I lived together at one point, so we talked about stuff too. Yeah. But my brother's quite sensitive. I'm interested in Producer Ben's take. Producer Ben, you've got a sister, don't you? Yeah, I do, yep. Does that mean that you,
Starting point is 01:07:35 as a tough man from Christchurch with a moustache, have become very open and honest about your feelings with her? No, no, I don't think so. Right. No. Okay, I mean, I don't mean to call you maybe closer with my parents,
Starting point is 01:07:47 but not necessarily with my sister, no. Really? Why do you think you're not having those, you know, in-depth chats or the, you know, the emotional chats? Are you just not an emotional guy? Yeah, I'm not super emotional, no. No. No, I don't know. It's just I don't talk to her a lot. He's getting uncomfortable.
Starting point is 01:08:04 He's getting uncomfortable. He is. This is making him uncomfortable talking to his sister. Talking about his feelings I think is making him uncomfortable. We should get him to call his sister right now and tell her that he loves her. Is that something you'd like to do, Ben? She's probably really busy at the moment. Well, we should call her and just double check. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:23 I want to do that. No, we can't. No one has her number. She. I want to do that. No, we can't. No one has her number. She doesn't own a cell phone. Yeah, she doesn't. What a load of crap. I'm going to force you to do that tomorrow. If you're listening this time tomorrow,
Starting point is 01:08:34 Producer Ben will call his sister live on the radio and tell her that he loves her. Quick round the room to see if the study is accurate. All of us have a sister. Brie, are you happy? Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Ben, are you happy? Yeah, I'm all right. Producer Ellie, if you sister. Bree, are you happy? Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Ben, are you happy? Yeah, I'm all right.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Producer Ellie, if you can hear us, are you happy? Yeah, I'm happy. Yeah, you're pretty happy? I'm happy. Yeah, I'm sweet. I'm good. None of us really sound convincing.
