Starting point is 00:00:00 G'day guys, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast for Monday the 1st of February. It's my birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday to me! How does it feel to be in your 40s? It will feel great when I'm there because 40 is the new 30. Why, do you celebrate at midnight? No, I'm not even close to 40. Yeah, you're closer to mid-30s.
Starting point is 00:00:23 40 is hot. No, you are mid-30s if we're breaking it into brackets then like what's the you know when i think i will have a midlife crisis is you know when you go to like somewhere you have to fill out paperwork and you go up into a certain bracket you know how it's like what is it usually it's like 25 to 30 yeah 30 to 34 31 to 34 i don't know i don't know it changes it changes a lot yeah the the one that really gets you is when they go under 21 and then like 21 to 35 there's a big bracket and then you leave that bracket that's the one that's going to hurt to leave. Yeah, you don't want to leave that bracket.
Starting point is 00:01:05 I just had to fill out a form online the other day and you click the box and you have to scroll up through the years that you were born. Oh, I do this all the time. And I had to do more than five scrolls and I was like, oh man. That's not ideal. But hey, the grass is always greener.
Starting point is 00:01:20 I remember complaining about my age when I turned 24. So live in the moment. I just thought of the weirdest story after you said five scrolls. I remember I used to work at this radio station. I'm not going to mention which one. And a bunch of us worked. We're called street teamers where you take out the promo cars and all that kind of stuff. And I remember this one time we're all at this event and we're all working there.
Starting point is 00:01:43 And for some reason we all started talking about what was our numbers. Oh, yeah. How do I do it? That's appropriate workplace chat. Oh, it is when you're like early 20s and you're all kids out in the promo radio cars and you've all hooked up with each other. And anyway, this one girl goes, oh, that's easy. Like and pulls out her phone and she's written down every name
Starting point is 00:02:06 and she does five scrolls. And I just remember we all called her five scroll. Fuzzy. Oh, my God. Hey, five scroll. And she, like, loved it. She didn't care. She was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:17 It's sex now. And what? I'm a five scroll. Yeah, live your best life. No shaming going on on this show. Five scroll. Maybe she had a really slow screen. Maybe she had one of those.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Nah, she didn't. Maybe she had one of those old LG Prada phones. Remember those? Well, maybe she did. I had one of those. With the goldfish inside it? I had one of those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:40 And it was a piece of shit. Piece of shit, yeah. My ex-girlfriend had one too. And she dropped it into the water in the viaduct. And she cried. I was like, the phone sucked, man. It was a piece of shit. Piece of shit, yeah. My ex-girlfriend had one too. And she dropped it into the water in the viaduct. And she cried. But I was like, the phone sucked, man. It was a shit phone. Yeah, but it cost a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:02:51 It was like one of the first touch phones. Yeah, it was before the iPhone. Before the iPhone, one of the first touch screen phones. It was touch screen, but it did nothing. And it was a touch screen that they hadn't obviously worked out all the kinks. Yeah. So it was terrible. You literally only bought it because it had goldfish inside the screen.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Yeah. That's it. Yeah. So it was terrible. You literally only bought it because it had goldfish inside the screen. Yeah. That's it. Yeah, gee. That's it. That'll do, I reckon. We've got to get out of here. Bree's tired. We've got to pack.
Starting point is 00:03:14 We've got to go to Christchurch tomorrow. We're getting on the road tomorrow. I've got to go home for my birthday surprise. What's that? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:22 If I knew it, it wouldn't be a surprise. Didn't you ask for bangers and mash? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'd be surprised't you ask For bangers and mash? Yeah Yeah Well I'd be surprised My wife hates
Starting point is 00:03:28 Bangers and mash Does she? Are you guys video Like Not really anymore No like on weeknights No Do you
Starting point is 00:03:34 Well kind of Lucy cooks video right? Yeah Do you get to ask For like your favourite meal On your birthday? That was always What my mum did for us
Starting point is 00:03:41 I would not dare Ask for my favourite meal On my birthday Because I have Dinner made for me every night. So I'm not going to dictate the menu. Oh, true. I'm happy.
Starting point is 00:03:49 But does she make you something that she thinks you're going to like? Does she think about that? Does it date? No. Yeah, she makes things that I'll like every night. She's thought that goes into dinner every night. Oh, look at him. Look at him.
Starting point is 00:03:59 The politician. No, you guys are trying to stitch me up here. You're trying to... No, I think that's a pretty common thing, to make someone's favorite meal on their birthday. Every meal my wife makes is my favorite meal. Because if I had a partner, I'd cook what I like most. Oh, that was the wankiest comment.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Everything is my favorite. Oh, that's not true. My favorite ingredient? Love. Beautiful. That's disgusting. Not that kind of love. Thank you, Anastastasia For keeping it real

Starting point is 00:09:41 Congratulations. Woo-hoo, thank you. Nice work. That was a close one. Bree and Clint. Amanda Bynes has had a rough couple of years, hasn't she? Hasn't she, yeah. I mean, look, I feel horrible for her,
Starting point is 00:09:53 but she was in the news a lot last year. She got that tattoo on her face. Then she was in rehab. Then she got engaged. She's a long way from the Amanda show. Yeah, yeah. You know, she's been dealing with her own things lately. But do you want to hear the new news about Amanda Bynes?
Starting point is 00:10:09 Only if it's good news. I think it might be all right news. Okay. Yeah. She's 34 and she launched a new Instagram page called Matt Black Designs. Yeah. And all of her fans and stuff were like, oh, this is going to be, you know, she's going to share fashion designs because she graduated
Starting point is 00:10:28 from the Fashion Institute of Design. Yeah, good for her. So they were like, you know, that's where she's moving into. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here comes some hot fire clothing from Amanda Bynes from the Nickelodeon. Exactly. Turns out, no. She has launched her rap career.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Mad flyer. Diamond, diamond, diamond on my neck, on my wrist. What? This is her. she has launched her rap career. What? This is her. This is Amanda Bynes' rap music. Yeah. Oh, man, it's so good. Hey, give her time. Apparently, after releasing this on her Instagram,
Starting point is 00:11:10 and it's with someone that we don't know who the other guy is at the moment. No. Whoa, she's already got half a million followers and she's only done two posts. I need to shut my stupid mouth. What do I know? Maybe that is Hot Fire Rap Music. Crazy, eh? And after releasing that on her Instagram with an unknown other artist,
Starting point is 00:11:23 Lil Uzi has come out on Twitter and said, Amanda Bynes, I'm ready. Let's drop a track. Damn, she's got props from Lil Uzi Vert. Yeah. Yeah, right. So apparently he's super keen. He's not an opportunistic person at all.
Starting point is 00:11:39 He's not just looking for some airtime. Nah. Great, good for her. Good for her. She's doing something and that's the main thing. I thought because of, you know, to celebrate her releasing her, launching her rap career, we could look back on some other famous people who gave music a crack.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Sure. Okay? So non-musical stars who decided to launch a musical career. Correct. Got it. Okay. You need to guess who these people are, okay? The first person
Starting point is 00:12:05 launched this song. If there's no love, there's no life. Surrounded by these lives and lies. In this world I hold my wife to my chest. Also rap. Wipe the tears from my eyes. No, absolutely no idea. Is it Michael B. Jordan?
Starting point is 00:12:22 That is Tom Hardy. Is it? The actor Tom Hardy went by the name Eddie Too Tall and rapped and had a whole album actually. He's one of those annoying guys who's so talented and so cool. Okay, give me another one.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Okay, the next one is this track. Lindsay Lohan That's right Yeah This song was quite big If I recall Yeah, a little bit sad When you listen to the lyrical content
Starting point is 00:13:01 I know, it is But that song did quite well for her And she had maybe one or two others that did all right. What about this one? Hilary Duff? Oh, no. Am I close? Kind of.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Beer Naked. This song was quite big too. Nah, who was it? Jennifer Love Hewitt. Oh. The actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. We're going through a few. God, there's someone I haven't thought about for like 10 years.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I know, right? She was everywhere. She was it, hang. Okay. We're going through some people who are famous and gave music a crack at one point. What about this guy? I know who this is. Very famous.
Starting point is 00:13:55 This is David Hasselhoff. It's the Hoff! Yeah. He didn't just give it a go. He was one of the biggest stars in Germany. I know, still is. Did you know that he performed on top of the Berlin Wall as they were tearing it down?
Starting point is 00:14:08 Crazy, eh? That song there by the Hoff called True Survival. Yes, go the Hoff. And the last one on the list, famous people who gave music a crack. What about this one? I don't think you will ever get this one. No, I got nothing.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Who was that? That's Brie Larson. Wonder Woman? No, it's not Wonder Woman. Oh, Captain America. No, Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel. Sorry, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah, Brie Larson had a music career back in 2009, apparently. I get them confused because their outfits are the same colour. And nothing else. Brie and Clint. Auckland City, who's on holiday today, so they're probably not going to hear this. Good, let's talk about them. Yeah, they've got smelly breath.
Starting point is 00:15:05 The coast is clear. They've got toe jams. Bloody jaffers. They've got hairy backs. Ugh, jaffers. Now, they're in the grips of a crime wave at the moment. There is an epidemic of thefts at the moment for bicycles. Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Are we talking mountain bikes, BMXs? All of them. Anything on two wheels that gets parked outside the dairy, yeah. Apparently thieves can't get enough of them at the moment. They've always been easy to steal bikes unless you've got a really good chain and even then people know how to get your bike. But at the moment, it's really hard. This is the weird thing that's happened with lockdown.
Starting point is 00:15:44 There's been a boom in bike sales. Yeah, true. It's one of the things that people are buying a lot of. Weirdly, jet skis. Which I mean, practical. Luxury vehicles was one of the ones that came up at the top of the list. Also practical. And bicycles.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Bicycle, actually practical. Push bikes. People are going, you know what? Life is short. I need to start biking around. You know, I never thought riding a bike was for me. Like I'm just not super into exercising. And then when the electric bike came out, I thought finally a bike for me.
Starting point is 00:16:18 And I wonder if those get stolen quite a lot because they're not cheap. I would hope that e-bikes have got like Find My Bike installed on them. Surely, yeah. Surely bikes have got to a stage now where you can look them up on an app if they've got power inside them. But I don't know. They're saying the best way, because if you're looking to buy a bike, and lots of these bikes are being sold on Facebook Marketplace
Starting point is 00:16:39 because places like Bike Barn and stuff like that don't necessarily have the stock at the moment. They're saying if you're buying a secondhand bike, the best way to know if it's stolen is to Google how much the bike is actually worth and if the price is too good to be true. It probably is. It's probably stolen.
Starting point is 00:16:55 People are selling $2,500 bikes for $1,000. God, good deal though. Yeah, except for the fact that it's stolen. Yeah, you got a point. And if the police find out it's stolen, they just take it back and you don't get any money. Yeah, you're gay. Yeah, right? Anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Can I just say, such an asshole move. To steal someone's bike. Yeah. Have you ever had your bike stolen? Yes, I have, actually. It sucks, eh? It sucks, and you have to walk home with your head held low. Is that the same?
Starting point is 00:17:25 No. No. Auckland Anniversary Day. Happy Auckland Anniversary Day. Happy Auckland Anniversary. To Auckland and to all the non-Aucklanders who get Auckland Anniversary Day thrust upon them and just call it Anniversary Day. Actually, you know what?
Starting point is 00:17:44 They don't get days off. Does Aucklanders get days off? What, today? Yeah. Yes. So wait a minute. No one else in Auckland is at work? No.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Why the hell are we here? Well, I mean, essential workers are, the doctors are, and the gas station people are. True. And it's also a holiday for lots of the country. Get Auckland Anniversary Day. They of the country. Get Auckland anniversary. They do? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Rotorua. The only time the rest of the country like Auckland. Not all of the country though. Just the ones who have got it today. Yeah, that's what I mean. Anyway, happy anniversary day if you've got the day off and sucks if you don't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Let's leave it at that. But I mean, Wellington get their own day and, you know, there's a few other. Don't worry, they're fine, mate. They had their day last week. Okay. Speaking of a place not in New Zealand or Auckland, Australia. Almost pushed the wrong button.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Almost. We nearly heard another piece of it. Almost. Leave it at that. Almost pushed the wrong button. You know, obviously being an Aussie, I like to bring the Australia stories to the table and just so people obviously maybe really appreciate living in New Zealand. Yeah, the grass is not always greener. No, and here's another one of those stories for you.
Starting point is 00:18:55 And this story is out of a place in Queensland called Curramundi. I've heard of it. The Curramundi, and it's near the Sunshine Coast. And it's about a woman who walks up to her car early in the morning and she found a few notes that had been written and placed on her windows. Sure. But on multiple windows. The notes read, snake, two metres under your car, in and around the engine.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Oh. So she thought someone's pulling a horrible prank. Really? That's what your mind goes to straight away? First she thought that. Yeah. And then she thought, okay, what if this is actually legit? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And she called a snake catcher or a wildlife person and they came out and take a listen. We've just arrived here at a home in Karamundi now. This is definitely not something you want to came out and take a listen. We've just arrived here at home in Curramundi now. This is definitely not something you want to come out to in the morning. Three or four different signs on your car saying there's a two-metre snake going underneath and probably in the engine bay. So let's see what we can find. There's definitely a snake under here.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Jeez, that was... Whoa! That's where I reckon it goes. She's straight up in the motor. Oh, it's nice and warm. here. Jeez, that was... Whoa! That's where I reckon it goes. She's straight up into the loader. Oh, it's nice and warm. Yeah. It's huge. Two-metre carpet python was found sitting curled up on the engine.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah. And snakes do that because they obviously are looking for heat. They're like the worm. Yeah. You know, this happened to me when I was working at a car rental company. A two-metre python crawled into your engine bay? Yes. Really?
Starting point is 00:20:26 So it was actually a high-ace van that we were renting out and I put the guy in this van who was renting it and he drove it off and he came back like maybe half an hour later and he's like, the van's being weird, like it's sluggish and there's something wrong with it. And I was like, oh, okay, that's weird. So there was a mechanic, like, that worked at our, you know, place at the time. And I was like, oh, can you have a look at, you know, this van?
Starting point is 00:20:52 He opens the hood of this van, and I'm not joking, it was a four-metre python sitting right on top of the engine. And that, folks, is why we don't want a trans-Tasman bubble. Keep your snakes. Keep them in the air. Bree and Clint. This was an off-air conversation that I trusted in you. Nah, I think this is important.
Starting point is 00:21:15 I think it's a PSA. And then you were like, let's do it on air. And I was like, oh. Well, I think it's relatable. And I think whatever resolution we come to, people will be able to use this information. It's just our life, isn't it? I said to you off air, I feel really bad because my auntie,
Starting point is 00:21:30 my mum's twin sister, Julie, who I love, she went to the trouble last year of sending me a Christmas card. Oh, lovely. I love people who still send Christmas cards. So cute. That's the only Christmas card I got. I don't send them, but I love receiving them. Yeah, it's great. And at the time I was
Starting point is 00:21:48 like, oh, that is so nice. She would have had to have got my new address from my mum. How do people, boomers especially, how do they have everybody's address? She would have got it from my mum, I'm assuming. And then I was like, okay, I need to remember to call her, because I'm not sending
Starting point is 00:22:03 a card back, but I need to call to call her because I'm not sending a card back, but I need to call her to say thank you and how nice that was. Yeah, you need to acknowledge it. So I forgot to do that. And then she also backed it up with a lovely birthday card, which is a week after Christmas. And I also haven't thanked her for that. And I said to you, how long is too long to call someone and thank them?
Starting point is 00:22:23 Well, you received these things in December. It's now February. It's been a while. It's been a while, but the longer you wait, the worse it's going to get. You have to say something. Should we call her now? Yeah. And I'll play it off like it's not been a long time.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Yeah, right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hopefully she answers. So which auntie is this that we're calling? My mum's twin sister. Julie. Got it. She's like, I'm at work.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Call me later. Hello, Julie speaking. Hi, Julie. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Julie, do you know who it is? No.
Starting point is 00:23:05 It's your favourite niece. Oh, Rana. Hey, Julie. I was just calling to say thank you so much for sending all of those lovely cards. Oh, so? You know I love you. That means so much to us. That was really lovely.
Starting point is 00:23:24 You know what? That gives me tears just you saying that. Oh, no. I love you. It does. It means a lot. I love you. Aunty Julie, it's Bree's friend Clint here.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Hi. Hi, Clint. How are you? Good. Good. How are you? I'm good. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Hey, any part of you, I know you're tearing up. I know it's nice to hear from Bree. Any part of you that's a bit miffed that she's waited a month and a half to call and thank you for the cards? Not at all. Not at all. I know you were endeavouring to get her her card before Christmas. You did.
Starting point is 00:23:58 And she's now calling you after January. That's right. Dodie already told me that she was really happy that I'd sent the card. So I really knew, Glee, that you were happy, Lana. Pretty slack from me, but just know that I was talking about it in our household, how special I felt that you somehow stalked me to get our address. I know. Well, obviously I got it from Didier.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Well, who knows? Who knows, Julie? I don't know how you're tracking me down these days. So, just got to be careful. Well, it's February 1st. We just wanted to call and say Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And Happy New Year.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Brie and Clint. You know on Schitt's Creek, the TV show, which if you haven't seen Schitt's Creek by the way I strongly strongly recommend Strongly Not only strongly but I strongly I strongly recommend you watch it It's a mixture of strong and stronger
Starting point is 00:24:56 It's a top five show of all time It's fantastic it's heartwarming It's funny it's clever Basically the idea of the show is these rich people They own a town and they go bankrupt. The only thing they've got left is this town and they have to move to the town. They have to live there.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Well, much like Schitt's Creek, the opportunity for you to own your very own town here in New Zealand has just come up. And I don't think that you can overlook this. So, Wade, are you calling this town in New Zealand Schitt's Creek? No, I would not call it Schitt's Creek. Is that what you're saying? No, but I will say that Oripuki in the
Starting point is 00:25:29 South Island, in Southland, 50 minutes from Invercargill, it needs a bit of love. Needs a bit of TLC? It definitely needs a bit of TLC. The town currently comprises a total population of 60 people. There are two remaining businesses in operation.
Starting point is 00:25:47 What's the businesses? Well, one of the businesses that's left is a beach cafe, and in 2018 it won New Zealand's best beach cafe. What? Yeah. Why is it leaving? Why did it close down? No, it's not closed down.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Oh, it's there. It's still there. Oh, it's still there. Oh, great. It's still there. Okay, well, that's a big plus. What's up for sale is not the deed to the town, but the amount of land that's for sale is tantamount to 50% of the entire town.
Starting point is 00:26:09 I own 50% of this company. Exactly right. So basically, if anything was to happen, they have to consult you because you own half the town. Do you get a key? You can get your own key. I don't think there's many things that need a key. Is there a locksmith?
Starting point is 00:26:21 I don't think there's many things that need a key in Oropuki. Okay, what's the other business? Because there's a cafe. It doesn't say what the other one is. There was a gas station. It closed down. McDonald's. It's definitely not a McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:26:33 KFC. It's not a KFC either. I'm looking at this place. Put it this way. The entire township fits in one drone shot. You can see it there. That's the town. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:26:43 It's the sweetest thing in the world. It's see it there. That's the town. Oh my God, it's the sweetest thing in the world. It's sweet, but also, it's incredible. At the end of that street there is the most amazing beach. So,
Starting point is 00:26:52 you're owning beachside realty. And you get a great cafe. And you get a great cafe. And you get a historic building. It's all included. Mate, you'll be living the dream.
Starting point is 00:27:02 You'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be mayor or some shit. I'm keen. How much? Okay. Okay, you want to own a town? Yeah, it looks adorable. Let's do a quick comparison. So say you want to buy a
Starting point is 00:27:12 two bedroom say you want to buy a two bedroom. One bathroom. One bathroom unit in Auckland at the moment. What, 1.2? No, no. No, come on. Not 1.2 for that. If you're buying in Ponsonby, it's more. Okay, yeah, alright. If you're buying in Ponsonby, it's more. Okay, yeah, all right.
Starting point is 00:27:26 If you're buying in Ponsonby, yeah, 1.2. Sure. So it is 1.2. If you want to buy half of Uripuki in Southland. Half of it, 50%. Yeah. The current listing price to take this out. It's $469,000.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Sign me up. We're going there. There's a000. Sign me up. We're going there. There's a beach. Look at it. We're going there on Friday. We're driving to Invercargill on Friday. I reckon we have to go to Urupuki and see. I'd love to go there.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Go to an open home. Let's go. And by open home, you have to see half of the town's houses. You have to see half of the town, yeah. Keen. But you'll see it in 15 minutes. Least than half a million dollars for half the town is a pretty good, you'll see half of the town. Keen. But you'll see it in 15 minutes. Less than half a million dollars for half the town
Starting point is 00:28:07 is a pretty good deal. That's a great deal. Jason. Bree and Clint. Want to talk about libraries for a minute. When's the last time you stepped foot in a library?
Starting point is 00:28:17 For the kids listening, a library is where it's kind of like the internet but where it's like a shop and you can go and like physically pull out web pages from shelves. You joke, but kids go to libraries. Kids like books. And there's games at the library
Starting point is 00:28:35 and there's holiday programs at the library. Kids are the ones keeping libraries alive. Okay, nerd. It's us that are neglecting the library. All right, settle down, nerd. I want to talk about libraries for a second. I actually really used to love the library when I was a kid. I used to go there a lot.
Starting point is 00:28:49 My auntie was a librarian for, I think, 30 years at the same library. So we used to frequent the library a lot. But there's an article out today about what is the most overdue book in New Zealand ever? Okay. From the library. Harry Potter. Okay, this is a good question.
Starting point is 00:29:10 How many years do you think the number one longest overdue library book is? Nah, let's reverse it. You tell me the number of years and I'll tell you what book it is. Nah, you'll never get the book. I've never heard of the book before. Okay, is it more than, is it library or what city is it is? No, you'll never get the book. I've never heard of the book before. Okay, is it more than is it library or what city is it in?
Starting point is 00:29:29 Okay, I can give you that. It is in Cambridge Public Library. This book was Cambridge is ancient. Yeah, so this book was taken out in Cambridge Public Library. Yeah. How many years ago? 50 years ago. It was taken out in the 60s. 70 many years ago? 50 years ago.
Starting point is 00:29:46 It was taken out in the 60s, 70s. Oh, 60 years ago. 60 years ago. You want to lock that in? Mm-hmm. The most overdue New Zealand library book ever was 121 years overdue. See, that's not possible. No, it is possible.
Starting point is 00:30:03 No, it's not possible because if you haven't got it back after 120 years, it's not coming back. It is because it got returned in July 2018. Really? And this is no BS. It got returned in July of 2018. The book, if anyone's
Starting point is 00:30:19 interested, is Marcia by Augusta Evans Wilson. Love that book. Yeah, love it. Read it from cover to cover four times. Anyway, I was like, oh, I wonder. I've got it on Audible. I wonder if you can. Anyway, I was like, oh, I wonder how much the overdue fees would be on a 121-year late fee.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Yeah, yeah. What do you think? Well, I imagine that 121 years ago, the late fees were like one cent a year. But then, I mean, does it move with the times? Does it inflate? I don't know. And is it compounding interest? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:50 The late fees on the most overdue library book ever in New Zealand were $51,893. The Public Library of Cambridge said that they were willing to waive the fee this time. If they bought the book back. Yeah, just don't do it again. Just don't do it again. For another 121 years. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Well, good for them. Can you imagine being the librarian, this book turns up and you're like, what the hell is that? What the? Bree and Clint. What's their name? What's their name? His real name ain't some shady real or fake name, baby. What is their real name or fake name game that doesn't have a name yet.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Still haven't come up with a name. The name game without a name. That's it. The nameless name game. The nameless name game. It's where we get given celebrities' names from producer Anastasia, and you and I, Clint, have to try and guess whether it's their real name they were given at birth
Starting point is 00:31:49 or a fake celebrity name. Anastasia, welcome. Hello. Hello. Who would like to go first? We can start. Okay, I'll start. Today's first celebrity is Miley Cyrus.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I know for a fact that Miley is a nickname. It's not her real name. So do nicknames count? Nicknames is fine. Nicknames is fine? Yeah, except if it's a whole new name. Right. If her name is Miles, that's okay.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Right. Well, I know that it comes from them calling her Smiley Miley, but her real name isn't Miley. I'm confused. I'm going to say it's a nickname. Yeah, nickname is fine. Nickname, original name. What?
Starting point is 00:32:35 I understand what Bree's saying. That is her fake. That's a fake name. Yeah, right. It's not her original given name. She had the nickname as a child Smiley, which became Miley, but that's not her real name.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Her real name is Destiny Hope. Oh, right. Okay, you have nailed it. Gotcha. All right, got it. I knew too much about that one. Yeah, you went way too deep. Way too much into it.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Her real name is Hannah. Your celebrity is Elvis Presley. Oh, that's a good one. That is a very good one. It's such a perfect name, Elvis Presley. Such, that's a good one. That is a very good one. It's such a perfect name, Elvis Presley. Such a good name. Elvis. I call BS.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I don't think it's, I'm just helping you out. I don't think it's his real name, but you do what you think. I don't think people back then used their real names too often. So I'm going to say Elvis Presley is a stage name. It's not his real name. I'm sorry to tell you that Elvis Presley is his real name. Yes, it is. God, he's perfect, eh?
Starting point is 00:33:25 Well, he was. Perfect hair, perfect name, perfect voice. For a while. You're starting to sound like your mum, bro. Your celebrity is Troye Sivan. Ooh. No, I think, because he got quite famous when he was younger
Starting point is 00:33:41 on YouTube and he would have used his real name. Who's using their real name on YouTube? No, but I think... My name's like Robbo69 on YouTube. I wonder what you're putting on YouTube. I believe it's his real name, Troy Savant. That's correct, Brie.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Good. Well done. Clint, your celebrity is Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. Ooh, that's a hard one too celebrity is Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. Oh, that's a hard one. That's not his real name. He was famous young too. Not super young, but early 20s.
Starting point is 00:34:12 But he was always an actor, wasn't he? Yeah. But not all actors use a fake name. Not all actors, but I think it's fake. I'm going to say Brad Pitt's his real name. Unfortunately, it was his middle name, but that's not his real name. His real name is William. William.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Not as cool. Again from a young age he was just he wanted to use the name. I know why he changed his name. William Pitt. Willy Pitt. Oh Willy Pitt. I'm picturing something real weird right now. I can't come back from that. You've won the name game with no name.
Starting point is 00:34:43 There you go. Well done. Love it. Brie and Clint. Brie, I want you to spare a thought for rich people during this pandemic. I always do. You know, because they're doing it tough out there. They do do it tough in their comfy houses. Yeah. Often we overlook the rich and we go, oh, they'll be okay.
Starting point is 00:34:58 They're struggling. Because what do rich people love to do? Go on overseas holidays. Oh, of course. Like three or four times a year. And what can't they do at the moment? Go on overseas holidays. Oh, of course. Like three or four times a year. And what can't they do at the moment? Go on overseas holidays. Yeah, so you've got millionaires stuck in America
Starting point is 00:35:10 who can only go to like, they can only go to Florida or Vegas or Napa Valley. Actually, yeah, America's a bad option. Rich people can't go overseas. They can't take their big flights anymore. It's really hurting them and they're having to look at some new places to go on holiday. What do they do with their helicopter?
Starting point is 00:35:30 What do they do with their helicopter? Yeah. Mothball it, probably. Put it on Helicopter Trade Me. I don't know. There's a solution, though, because where there's a will and several millions of dollars, there's a way.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And that's why the hot new destination for rich people to go on holiday? What? Outer space. Is it? Two grandfathers and one other rich dude are about to become One other rich dude? Yeah, they're about to become the first
Starting point is 00:35:57 ever paying citizens to go on holiday to the International Space Station. What's customs like? Chill. Is it? Yeah. Like, do you have to declare, like, anything?
Starting point is 00:36:11 Can you imagine you get to the space station and they're like, all right, do you have any nuts? Yeah. Have you got a banana in your bag? Because we've got Gary, who's one of the astronauts here. He has an allergy to nuts. Yeah. Any of you smuggling any drugs?
Starting point is 00:36:24 Good, because then you have to share them out. Yeah, because a lot of the guys up here are really bored. Space sucks sometimes. And they all miss New Year's. So eight days on the International Space Station. That's the holiday. Okay, how much is this cost? How much would you pay?
Starting point is 00:36:36 You're a rich dude. You can't take a flight to Tuscany this summer. You can't head away to the Swiss Alps. You've got some spare cash lying around. How much are you going to pay for a trip to the International Space Station? Eight days. I mean, how much does it cost to stay? All expenses paid, I imagine. Otherwise, I'll
Starting point is 00:36:54 just charge it to your room. That's fine. Okay. Is there room service? I don't know if there's rooms. Is there a pool? No. There's no pool. No, there's very little liquid whatsoever. Is there someone that cleans my room and changes my sheets every day? Yeah. There is. Let's say yeah. No, there's very little liquid whatsoever. Is there someone that cleans my room and changes my sheets every day? Yeah. There is.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Let's say, yeah. Well, I do know Richard Branson and Elon Musk and all those dudes when they've been trying to organise trips to the moon and stuff. Yeah. Their price, I do recall, was about a million dollars. Yeah. So I'm going to say you're not going to the moon. No. You're going to a space station. The space station. Which is still cool. Yeah. So I'm going to say you're not going to the moon. No.
Starting point is 00:37:25 You're going to a space station. The space station. Which is still cool. Yeah. You'll settle for it. I'm going to say $500,000. For eight days on the International Space Station, these three men have shelled out $76 million each.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Each? Each. Each? Each. Each? Each. That has to pay for a lot of things, Brie. It has to pay for rocket fuel. It has to pay for their guided astronaut tour. Because they have to go with an astronaut.
Starting point is 00:37:55 They can't drive themselves there. Does the atmosphere up there, like, make your woo-hoo go bigger or something? Is that why they want to go up there? For $76 million. They're like, $76 million, we'll take it. Brie and Clint. A lot of people at the moment trying really hard to get onto that property market by their first time.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I know you are, Brie. You're out there. I don't want to talk about it. Hustling, trying to scrape together a deposit to get into the market. It's horrible. I know you've said before, and a lot of people are in this situation,
Starting point is 00:38:22 well, not a lot, some, have said that their parents are willing to help them out and your parents have said, if you need it, they're willing to give you your inheritance early to get you into the property market. Part of my inheritance. Part of your inheritance. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Good. Which I do need it because without it, I'm not going to be able to buy anything. Totally. And that's very normal these days. I think I've found a big chunk of your inheritance and how much it's worth. What do you mean? You know how your dad's got quite a few cars? Yeah. There's one car specifically
Starting point is 00:38:49 that I'm pretty sure he's got that I think is worth more than you realise. What's the really old one that he's got? The Datsun. The Datsun. So I've got a picture of it here. Ben's going to bring it up on the screen. Is this what it looks like? Is that the Datsun? Yeah, it does look like that.
Starting point is 00:39:05 That's a 240Z Datsun 1972 coupe. For those who know them, they're like, they get called a fair lady, a Nissan fair lady sometimes. It does look quite similar. That car is currently for sale in New Zealand on the website Driven for $90,000.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Are you joking? Your dad is possibly sitting on a $90,000 old car in the barn at the farm. I know for a fact he's told me it's real rare. Yeah. It is real rare. Every time I say it's ugly as hell, he's like, leave it alone. It's a rare, like, classic car. I think we give him a call and you see if there's any chance.
Starting point is 00:39:45 See if he knows how much it's worth first. Ask him how much you paid for this car. G'day, Brianna. G'day, Dad. Hello. How are you? Yeah, good, good. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Hey, Dad, quick question for you. You know that really ugly blue car Datsun thing that you have? Yep. How much did you pay for that? I paid $15,000 for it. $15,000? Does. $15,000! Does it work? It's a piece of crap.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Does it work? Oh, yeah, but I spent a fair bit of money actually restoring it back to original. So, yeah, it works. How much did you spend? That's my inheritance. I spent probably $35,000 restoring it. Dad! So what, we're up to $50,000.
Starting point is 00:40:23 That's okay, that's okay, that's okay. We're still on the black. We're just in the black. We're just calling because we've found one for sale in New Zealand and it's currently listed. How much do you think the car's worth? The condition that mine's in now, I think they're probably around that $90,000 mark here in Australia. Shit, he knows what he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Dad, what type of model? Which model is it? Because I know you've told me that it's a really rare model, isn't it? It's a 1976 260Z. It's a 260Z. Oh, that's even rarer. There's a 240Z for sale in New Zealand for $90,000 right now. I think what we need to do here is you can ship that car over to me.
Starting point is 00:40:57 I'll take real good care of it, and I definitely won't sell it for $90,000. I think you'll have to tackle your brother on that one because I don't think he's going to let it leave the country. What are your thoughts on hocking it so that Brie can put a deposit on her first house? I think that's a good deal. No. I'm going to be homeless.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Okay, bad luck. All right, thanks, Big Steve. Brian Clint. Saw something the other day, Clint. Yeah. You know what I love about our job is we get to see something and then we get to test it out for everyone listening. Yeah, we're like scientists for bullshit that we see on the internet.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Yeah, most of the time it doesn't work. But I thought I've seen this. Let's give it a go. Yeah. Do you love, what's that app's that app oh my god shazam shazam i love that app i use it a lot it's a great app yeah um but what if you know you just have the kind of melody stuck in your head and you don't really know like you haven't heard the song but you can remember how it goes. Oh, you're sort of like...
Starting point is 00:42:05 Yeah, and you can hum it. Yeah. Is there an app for that? So apparently, this has been launched in the last couple of days. Yeah. Google have launched a humming feature. Genius. So we're going to test it to see if it works.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Yeah, genius if it works. So essentially, if you want to use this, all you have to do is go to the Google search page, like where you search something on Google. Yeah. I think it's only on Chrome. Right. So go to Google Chrome.
Starting point is 00:42:32 And in the search bar, all the way to the right, you'll see a little microphone. Yeah. And you just press on that and you hum a song and apparently it'll tell you what song it is. Really? Apparently. So we're going to try it out.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Go on then. Give it a go. So I think let's do this song by Lady Gaga. I need to try and hum that song. Cool. To see if Google recognises it. Do you want to hear about first? Okay, it's over here. I've got it.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Have you got Google open? Okay, I've got Google open. It says speak now. Hold on. It's just taking me somewhere else. Here's a matching video. That's not it. That's definitely not it.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Try it again. Try it again. Let's try it again. Get rid of it. That's definitely not it. Try it again. Try it again. Let's try it again. Get rid of it. It matched you very fast. Yeah, it should be listing a little bit longer. Okay, try it again. Okay, ready?
Starting point is 00:43:31 I'll start humming before I press it. Okay. Okay. Says didn't get that. Do you want to give it a go? Give me a go. Give me a go. Let me have a go. You give it a go.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I think maybe your mouth being shut doesn't help. I don't think that's how you generally... Do you have to hum with your mouth open? Well, I'm going to try, okay? Okay. Okay, so we're still doing Born This Way? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:06 It's coming with My Chemical Romance. Nah, nah, nah. Let me give one more go. I think the technology needs work. You can give one more go. Okay, one more go. All right? We're helping the cause here. Okay, so mouth open.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Mouth open. I reckon just try it. Here's a matching video. What is it? Please. What is it going to be? It's by a band called Beirut, and it says, no, no, no. I think the technology might need a bit of work.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Needs a little bit more time, I think, yeah. Bree and Clint. Time for Birthday Banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger. All right, time for Birthday Banger. We'll take three people's birthdays, figure out what was number one on their 16th. Roland's going first.

Starting point is 00:45:30 Geez. All right, Roland, you were 16 in 1981 on the 6th of December. Oh, yeah. Virginity. There was all sorts of things going on there. All right, Roland. All right.

So she was 16 in 2007. And in 2007, this had a number one hit. That's a great birthday banger. I would play that over Roland's track.

Starting point is 00:47:18 A bit too slow as well. A bit too slow, yeah. It's quite not really a bop. I vote for the Scribe track. Scribe stand up. Yeah, I'll go with Scribe. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:26 All right, here we go. Who's it for? It's for Amy. We lost Amy, but if you're listening, Amy, here's your birthday banger. You win. It's Scribe and Stand Up. We're in place. We're in.

We cannot stop now, New Zealand hip-hop gotta stand up Zeddy and Breein Clint, that's the winner of Birthday Banger this afternoon from Scribe and P-Money at Stand Up. That's such a great song. Such a great doco too.
Starting point is 00:50:33 If you're looking for a movie to go and see at the movies, go and see the Dawn Raid movie. Scribe wasn't on Dawn Raid, but he's in the movie. Oh, where are you? There you are. I'm over here. A lot of massive New Zealand artists in that film. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Yeah, it is very cool. I really like this next story. You know, we've all done something stupid and idiotic when we've had a few lemonades, haven't we? Speak for yourself. Oh, no. Speak for yourself. Speak for yourself.
Starting point is 00:51:04 I've seen you in these moments Alright, alright, alright We've all done things But there's one guy over in the UK Who I think Has topped it all Well Look, let's just
Starting point is 00:51:20 Cut to the chase He was on a night out And he's had quite a few drinks. And the next day he realised that he'd done something to his name, originally named Thomas Dodd. He awoke to some paperwork which read that he had drunkenly changed his name to get this Celine Dion. What do you have to drink?
Starting point is 00:51:53 What is the type of alcohol you have to drink? Forget about amounts to legally change your name to Celine Dion. Apparently he's a massive massive fan of Celine Dion. Big fan. He said in lockdown he's a massive, massive fan of Celine Dion. Well, that helps. Big fan. He said in lockdown he's been watching concerts.
Starting point is 00:52:09 What, Titanic? Everything he can, everything Celine Dion. And he paid the 89 pounds to officially be called Celine Dion. Did he do it online or something? Because I imagine if I went into the New Zealand Post, I don't know where you change your name, and I had 14 long whites and I said, I want to run in for Celine Dion. Did he do it online or something? Because I imagine if I went into the New Zealand Post, I don't know where you change your name, and I had had 14 long whites and I said, I want to run into Celine Dion,
Starting point is 00:52:30 you'd hope that the lady behind the counter would go, okay, sir, we're not going to do this for you today, but if you come back in tomorrow... We can talk about that. We can talk about it. If you still feel the same way in the morning, then come and talk to us. I'm pretty sure it was online.
Starting point is 00:52:43 He said the biggest concerns he has at this point are changing the footer on his emails. No, yeah. You know where your name is on your emails. That's his biggest concern. That's a concern of his. Telling his family. He's quite concerned about that.
Starting point is 00:52:59 And just all of his friends. He should be concerned about changing it back. That's the real thing to be concerned about. But I believe that in some countries, I don't know what it's like in the UK, but I know in some countries you're actually only legally allowed to change your name. It's like Facebook. A couple of times. You're only legally allowed to change your name a couple, no, once every two years.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Really? Yeah. Oh, well, he can live his best life then for two years and then he changes it back. By then, well, by then you've gone to the hassle of telling everybody. You just keep it. You would just keep it. You go, I've done all the legwork now to explain why my name is Celine Dion. He said one of the perks he's hoping to receive if concerts
Starting point is 00:53:34 ever do start again, he's thinking that it warrants him a backstage pass to a Celine Dion concert. Do you honestly think that Celine Dion is going to let a man who drunkenly changed his name to Celine Dion come backstage at a Celine Dion show? Actually, no, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Do you know Celine Dion? It doesn't matter. He just needs to flash his driver's licence and they'll go, oh, please, come on through, Miss Dion. You're due on stage in 15 minutes. Prove it. He's like, shall we go for it? If it's Auckland Anniversary Day,
Starting point is 00:54:08 tomorrow we'll be on the DeLorean Road Trip. We'll be broadcasting live from Cathedral Square and Christchurch from our DeLorean and we'd love to see you there. Can't wait.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Something I love, Clint, and you know this about me, is TV bloopers. News bloopers specifically are so good. It's the best. I can't help it. It's great. There's something about it where it bloopers specifically are so good. It's the best. I can't help it.
Starting point is 00:54:26 It's great. There's something about it where it's meant to be so perfect. And so proper. And so proper. And when something goes wrong, it's so good. And I've got another one for you this afternoon. And this one comes live to us from the BBC Wales where there was a bunch of women on Zoom because they're all obviously still in lockdown. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:48 And they're all on Zoom and they were all commenting on the unemployment rate as a result of the coronavirus. Right. So there was three women on the screen. How very BBC of them. Yes, very BBC. And they're all talking about this and they're obviously all like broadcasting
Starting point is 00:55:03 live from their living rooms. Yeah. But there was one particular woman who was broadcasting live from her living room where she obviously hadn't thought about what was in the background. Right. So what I wanted to do, Producer Ben, if you can put up the picture of this woman sitting
Starting point is 00:55:22 in her living room, I want you, Clint, to describe. Just go through what you can see in the background of her living room. Sure. I can see a poster. I can see a coat hanging on the door. I can see something that looks like a speaker, some board games. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Please tell me that is not what I think it is. On her bookshelf, there's a... Something that rhymes with a massive, massive mildew. There's a... How could you forget that's there? Why is it on her bookshelf? I mean, it might be a convenient spot. Why is it on her...
Starting point is 00:56:03 Might have a suction cap at the bottom She might use it as a bookend Tell you what It's definitely It's definitely a BBC But of a different variety ZM's Free and Clint The podcast
