G'day everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
Holy shitball, some big shits went down today, mate.
Some big shits.
Yeah, mate. Both in the toilet and on the show.
You'll hear about it on the show, but basically we've had a very good run with our debut single today.
I don't want to give it away because it kind of builds throughout the show.
Actually, you could probably help with this if you're listening to the podcast right now.
We won't give it away what happens, but the single went live on iTunes and you can buy it.
We know some people probably don't use iTunes anymore.
First time I'd opened iTunes in ages.
Yeah, but if you can find it in your heart to spend $2.39
and it might be different in the country you're in.
It might be cheaper.
It's cheaper in Aussie.
You can help us get this thing on the charts,
which it's already charting
There's a little hint
It's doing very well
Don't give it away
It's doing well
It's been a good day
But it could be better with your help
Can I tell my bad day story just quickly?
You want to bring down the mood?
Just because I'm still standing in what I stood in this morning
Right
Just briefly
Yeah, because we had a photo shoot this morning.
And the reason I got reminded is you said big shits went down.
You didn't stand in shit.
No, I didn't stand in shit.
We did a photo shoot this morning.
And this is just for the podcast.
I didn't want to say this on the radio.
We had to take our shoes off because the floor had just been painted
in the photo studio.
It's one of those white studios, white floor,
so you can't see any floor around the people who are being photographed.
I take my shoes off and I'm like, I've got to go to the toilet.
So stupidly I went to the work toilet in my socks and I stood at the urinal
and then as soon as I came out, you know when you stand in a puddle
and then it takes a little while to get it through to your feet.
See, this is the problem.
Like us ladies, we don't have puddles in our bathrooms.
Don't you?
No.
Don't you?
Oh, it's rare.
Last place I worked at the other radio station company,
where they shared toilets for all the radio stations.
Right.
The women's toilets, I never had to see it,
but they all told me about it.
They had a thing called the phantom pooer. We
had that at the radio station I worked
at. She pooed on the floor.
Okay, not that.
Not that. She would
regularly decimate the bowl
and then on occasion she would leave
one on the floor
and we never found her. How
do you even get it on the floor?
It went on for something crazy like seven years,
which really started to whittle down the suspect list.
That's off.
It is off.
But as I worked there with some good friends who had been there for years,
they got more and more nervous.
Every time someone in the suspect list left the company
and the phantom pooing didn't stop.
So they'd be taken off the list they
would be taken off the list but the list would get shorter and the girls who were left would go
it's not me but every time someone leaves i look more and more guilty yeah because i'm still here
and the pooing is still happening we used to have a the phantom unless it was a copycat copycat
do you guys have kanga do you guys have that here what What's Kanga? A Kanga. We had a phantom Kanga.
Like a roo.
So it's where you sit.
So it's where a female or a male sits on the toilet,
not where you back your butt up onto it,
but where you squat on it front ways, like in a kangaroo position.
Yeah.
So you're sitting face forward on the toilet.
So you're looking at the wall?
So you're looking at the wall.
But you're squatting on the toilet.
But you're squatting on the toilet. So it's like a squatted
rollback? Yeah, and then you do a shit
and then the poo actually
hits every part of the bowl
possible. And that's called a canger.
You had a woman at your work that was doing that?
Yes, for years.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Women are disgusting.
Pardon you!
You're the one
that's got piss on your sock
ZM
Let's go
Now let me see you dance
ZM's Brie and Clint
The Hot Mess Express has pulled into the station
Ladies and gentlemen
Today is a big day for us
This is massive
Officially we're a part of the iTunes
charts. We're charting at the moment.
We're in the top 100.
We're well inside the top 100. We're in the
top 60. We're inside the top 56.
Well, we're 56. We're number 56.
We're at number 56!
On the dance charts, we're
number 6.
If you've missed
this and you don't know what we're talking about,
we are performing as a DJ duo at Float in just nine days, by the way.
We got Kings on board to produce our first debut single,
and that single is called Send It, and it is currently charting on iTunes.
It went on iTunes this morning.
It's also on Apple Music.
If you want to stream it, you can do it there,
and we are working on Spotify as we speak.
You can also Shazam it.
So are we about to play it?
Actually, let's play it.
Let's play it and you can Shazam it.
Get your Shazam app out.
Give it a Shazam.
And feel free to send us a cheeky little screen grab on our Instagram as well.
We'd love to repost you too.
You can just tag us in at Bree and Clint.
We're excited about it.
We're very excited.
It's not often that an artist, and I'm calling ourselves artists now, it's not
often the artist also has the radio station
to go and play their own song on.
Normally they're going, hey, can you guys play our song?
Whereas we're going, we're going to play our own
song. This is actually a really good system.
It's a great system. Because we can just push
this song all day. Saatchi should
get their own radio show. It'd be great. It'd be nothing
but Saatchi on the radio. Anyway, this is us.
This is the Hot Mess Express.
Song's called Sender
and it's available now.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint,
that is the Hot Mess Express.
There it is, baby.
Song's called Sender.
Officially number 56
in the New Zealand iTunes chart right now.
And I know people aim to be top 20, maybe even top 40.
Nah, the new cool is top 60.
Top 60 is where it's at, but we need your help.
We could get this thing to number one.
I've got a surprise for you.
What?
Remember how before we had Look and the Hot Mess Express was,
yes, it's 56 in the iTunes chart.
Yeah.
And we were number, because they'd also break it down to genre.
We were the sixth biggest song on the dance chart. Yeah. And we were number, because they'd also break it down to genre. We were the sixth
biggest song
on the dance chart.
Yeah.
We're beating Avicii.
I mean,
he hasn't released music
for a bit,
but we're beating Avicii.
He was number seven.
I just checked again.
The Hot Mess Express
is
number two.
Oh, come on.
Come on, we're losing to this song.
So, really.
We're getting there.
I hate how disappointed you were.
Did you think we were going to be number one already?
I was hoping.
The song's been out for three hours.
I can't believe how much it's popping off.
Yeah.
We did run into a bit of an issue today.
So this is our new DJ duo.
We're performing at Float this coming weekend in Rotorua.
There's still some tickets available.
We'd love you to come and be a part of this performance.
Yeah, a lot of people are messaging us saying that they just want to come
to see if we fail or rise to the occasion.
Yeah, well, that is yet to be seen.
We've never performed before.
No.
I saw we were on iTunes and we're also on Apple Music.
I thought, oh, I wonder if we're on Spotify yet.
So I gave it a search.
Because we've got that in the works.
I searched out The Hot Mess Express.
Bad news, and we didn't think to check this,
there's already an artist called The Hot Mess Express.
How do we not think to check? I saw this too. How do we not think to check?
I saw this too.
How do we not think to check that the name had been taken?
We're so dumb.
And you know what?
The Hot Mess Express is taken.
Also, Hot Mess Express is taken.
Was Brexclit our other option taken?
I don't think so.
See, I knew we should have gone with Brexclit.
Or Spindiana Jones.
Anyway, just be aware of that.
Because if you go and stream it and you go,
this is not what I thought
Brian Clint's music would sound like.
If you're listening to this,
you're listening to the wrong,
the Hot Mess Express.
This is the other Hot Mess Express?
Yeah, this is there.
It's called Hills.
Oh, this is there. It's called Hills. Oh, this is...
No, no.
As an artist, you've got to appreciate other people's art, okay?
Can you give it constructive feedback, please?
I'm just glad we're the better Hot Mess Express.
Should we put this in our DJ set?
No.
If you find yourself listening to this, stop.
It's the wrong one.
It's the wrong one.
Our faces are on the...
Yeah, our faces are on the artwork.
On the artwork.
If you're buying the right one, our faces are on it.
So if you haven't heard about the hack already
over the Easter and Anzac Day holiday
where you can take three days off and you can get
a 10-day break. Yeah, we've done a day. Yeah, we've done it. I mean, if you haven't heard about that,
I'm going to tell you about that as well. Okay, sure. Yeah. But essentially this year, there's a
number of different hacks where you can take certain days off and 18 days off to be exact.
So you can use 18 days of annual leave to give you a 45-day holiday.
Right.
So it's across different times of the year, obviously.
So it's not 45 days in a row?
Not in a row.
But it gives you little bursts of holidays.
Whose boss is letting them have 45 days off in a row?
Yeah, that's crazy.
You know what?
That's a good way to make your boss realise that you're not that important to the company.
They'll go, God, they haven't been here for a month and a half
and the business hasn't fallen over. Maybe we don't need them. Yeah, so that's probably not a good idea.
Hey, just stay on holiday, man. Don't come back. Do I still get paid? Nah. Oh. Nah. But
thanks. Cool. So the Easter break one, if you haven't heard about it yet, you need to
put this in quick because I'm sure other employees at your workplace would have already done
it. The only days you need to take off across Easter break and then the Anzac holiday that backs
on to the back of it is the 23rd of April, the 24th of April and the 26th of April. So you use
three days of your annual leave? Yes and it gives you a 10 day. And you have 10 full days. Exactly.
Long enough to go somewhere. Yes. Long enough to go on an overseas holiday if you like. You could go overseas if you wanted to.
You could, yeah.
So that's the first one.
And then there was some other different holiday hacks around Waitangi Day,
which I mean.
Oh, we've missed that.
We've missed that one.
So I'm going to assume if you took Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday,
then you'd take four days off.
Is that what it was?
No, there was like some different ones because different parts around the country
in New Zealand had their-
Auckland anniversary last week.
Exactly.
So they were having their anniversary days,
which could give you a bigger block off.
So it doesn't really apply to everyone.
But the other one is Christmas.
You've also got your Labor Day and your Queen's birthday,
which everyone knows they're on a Monday this year.
Yeah.
So you can take extra days off the back of that if you want to.
But the Christmas one is the one that I was concentrating on
where you can take seven days of leave and you'll get 17 days off.
Okay, how do we do this?
So essentially the days you have to take off are Friday the 20th of December,
the 23rd and the 24th, also the 27th, the 30th, 31st and the 3rd.
So you use how many?
You use 7 days of leave and you get 17 days off
Yeah, fantastic
It's not bad
It's pretty good
Because it's in between like you get, you know, your Christmas day and your boxing day
Yeah
And then even if you're working on the days around Christmas time, no one's there
Also, if you just get food poisoning like accidental, like a couple of days before, you can get 20
days. Can you?
Well, yeah. How many sick days do we get?
Five. But
this, but
I believe, I think sick days are
cumulative. Like if you don't use them
I think they stack up. No!
Up to 20.
So if you, I don't know, check me on that.
But I think if you haven't been using your sick days,
you may have 20 of them in the bank.
But the idea is if you get really sick, you can fall back on that.
But then they expire.
Right.
You can't cash them out, yeah.
Right.
So.
I need to go make good friends with a doctor.
You can risk it, yeah.
Write me a note.
A note?
A note would do it, yeah.
A note?
Duh.
I like the accumulative thing.
Don't do it. Nah, do it. No, A note? Duh. I'd like the accumulative thing. Don't do it.
Nah, do it.
No, no, don't do this, but...
Could you just make your own doctor's note in Photoshop?
But don't do that.
No, but do it.
But could you?
I mean, hypothetically, yes.
Brie and Clint.
Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground,
Dean McCarthy.
Spy.co.nz
He's here, everybody. Dean McCarthy, good afternoon..nz He's here, everybody.
Dean McCarthy, good afternoon.
Hello, Dino.
Hello, guys.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Hey, you've got hot, hot goss regarding Jennifer Lawrence, right?
Well, I do, but before we start,
I have to talk about the biggest news story in Hollywood today.
It's breaking.
You might not have heard about it in New Zealand yet,
but the Hot Mess Express, Send. It's charting in New Zealand
and everyone in Hollywood is talking about this. I've got
Jenna Jackson's been calling me. Get them
on the line. I've got Cardi B on the text.
Where are they? It's breaking.
It's breaking.
You're absolutely right, Dean. In fact, I've just been
handed some stats. The Hot Mess
Express has just cracked
the NZ iTunes top
20. We're number 18.
Oh, my God.
Dean, this is an exclusive interview, mate.
Is there anything you'd like to ask us?
What inspired the song?
Can we hear it?
Like, what's next?
Well, what inspired the song?
You know, just sending it.
What's next?
Well, we're hoping to do our first ever performance this week.
And other than that, probably relocate to Hollywood and move in with Channing Tatum.
What do you reckon, Brie?
Pretty much just dropping a knee, Dean,
and sending it for all the people of New Zealand.
That's what inspired us for the song.
And I mean, look, look where we are now.
How's life different now that you're superstars?
Yeah, right.
Take it all in.
Look, Dean, it's a long road for us.
We've got to get to number one yet.
So, shall we talk about Jennifer Lawrence?
Yes.
Okay, what's going on with her? I've got some other to number one yet. So, shall we talk about Jennifer Lawrence? Yes. Okay. What's going on with
her? I've got some other
breaking news. Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar winner, who we
all just adore. She is
engaged. No!
We were all revealed last night.
Can't believe she's off the market. I love her.
I love her too.
I love her. We could have had a throuple of marriage,
you, her and I. But look, here's
the cool news. So, no one really knows this guy.
His name is Cook Maroney.
He's an art dealer, lives in New York City.
No one's ever heard of him.
He's not a famous person or anything like that, but he's very rich.
Very, very rich.
He deals in like million-dollar art pieces and paintings worth $5 million.
But he's a really cool dude, and they've been dating for about eight months.
So a little bit surprised that they were engaged because, you engaged because they haven't been seen in public really together.
But there you go.
She's off the market.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry if this is judgmental, but Cook Maroney, the art dealer,
sounds like the dodgiest underworld criminal name I've ever heard.
He sounds like the guy that they hunt on 45 Jump Street or something.
We're looking for Cook Maroney.
He's an art dealer.
Cook Maroney's his name.
Hey, this is really weird news,
and this one concerns New Zealand,
but somehow, some way,
apparently R. Kelly is set to tour New Zealand.
Is that true, Dean?
I know.
Could it not be the worst-timed tour
in the history of tours?
Here's the deal.
R. Kelly announced on social media that he was touring Australia and New Zealand.
A lot of people in Australia are freaking out of this.
I'm sure the same in New Zealand.
Is he to be allowed?
I know in Australia, Chris Brown wasn't allowed to tour when different situations that he was in were made public.
R. Kelly in Denmark.
He's banned from Denmark.
The authorities are not letting him even enter their country,
let alone tour it.
So I think this is the worst time tour ever.
But I don't think the ticket sales would actually be that good.
I think it's possible to cancel it, right?
Would anyone go?
It's the people power, right?
You can try and block him from the country
or you can just not buy tickets to the show
and then he won't come.
He's not coming if no one goes to the show.
I was talking to Bree about it
because she said,
how can he be allowed into the country?
And that's where I got confused.
I don't know if he's actually been
criminally convicted or of anything.
And if he hasn't,
are you able to deny anybody
entry into the country?
Good point, yeah.
I mean, I think that would need to be
some type of proof.
You'd have to be convicted of something legally.
They can't just kind of not let him in because of rumours or tabloids, I guess.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, if you've seen the documentary about him,
it is actually one of the most horrific things.
I had to stop watching.
I could barely watch it.
I only got three episodes through six of them,
and it's awful, but I had to stop watching.
And if you're thinking about going to that concert
when he comes here to New
Zealand, please, please do me
a favour and watch that documentary before
you make a decision. Yeah, that's a good
call. You know, educate
yourself and let's hashtag
Mute R Kelly. That is what's trending
around the world about him for the last however
many years. Dean McCarthy, thank you very much. We'll talk
to you tomorrow, okay? Bye guys.
See you Dean. Bree and Clint.
I'm living in a caravan at the moment.
Yeah.
Did you see over the weekend? I had a cool little set up
sitting out there on the beach. Yeah, it looks pretty nice.
It's out at Takapuna Beach.
Whoa, don't tell everyone where my campground is.
It's my secret spot. I mean, that's a pretty big
beach. It is a pretty big beach.
And apart from
the shared toilet facilities,
it's pretty luxurious.
Like when am I ever going to get to live on the waterfront ever again?
When am I going to be rich enough to live right on the beach?
Yeah, true.
So do you like have to shower in the...
No, there's no shower in the caravan,
but there's showers in the campgrounds.
Right, so you shower in the communal showers.
To be honest, I try and shower at the gym sort of thing.
Are you wearing thongs?
Yeah.
In the shower?
Yeah.
Because you will definitely get athletes for it.
100%.
That's a breeding ground.
Other than that, I mean, let's focus on the positives here.
Pretty deluxe.
Can go for a swim every morning.
Oh, it's a great view.
Nice low ceiling.
I've whacked my head a lot.
I'm quite a tall guy and I've donked my head
a bunch of times
is there air con
there's windows
you can buy campers
now that have air con
yeah
not this one though
not that one
we've rented it
nice camper van
caravan
I'm not taking anything
away from that
but
it is a bit annoying
because there's no TV.
That's the first thing I asked you.
I said, I can deal with the, you know, all that other stuff,
but is there a television?
No, no television.
And no Wi-Fi.
So, like, I went to watch a cricket last night.
I streamed some of it using my work phone hotspot.
But you can't.
Mate, you can't do that.
I got done for an $11,000 bill.
I know.
And that's why I've had to come up with alternatives for watching TV.
Right, so how are you going to do that?
Well, these are the things I think,
because especially when you get home after work too,
you just want to veg, right?
You just want to like blob out and watch TV.
I love television.
Here's five things that you could do too.
Maybe you could do a TV detox with me.
You could give these things a go.
Let me know if you like them.
Not keen.
Just five different options.
You could read a book.
I've never read a book in my life.
I'm not about to start now.
You could
Oh there's lots of dogs
You could go around
Takapuna
Like lots of designer dogs
Very rich area
Okay now I'm on board
You could go door knocking
And walk other people's dogs
I like that one
Yeah
Hot idea
And you could do that
Anywhere too
Anywhere that has dogs
I could get paid for that
Yeah
Well I'm in there with
with my wife Lucy
you could always
yeah well I know one thing
you could always you know
give her a massage
yeah exactly
her feet
she's four months pregnant
I mean
yeah you should be
you should be
you could
look at Instagram all night
and you know when you look at Instagram
and you get bored of it
and then you close it
and then five minutes later without thinking
you just look at yourself and you go, holy shit, I'm back on Instagram.
You're like, why am I on here again?
Yeah, you could just go on Instagram over and over
and over again.
No.
You could...
No, it's not going to work.
Oh, if you're in a relationship
you could have a conversation. You could talk to, it's not going to work. Oh, if you're in a relationship, you could have a conversation.
You could talk to your partner.
Oh.
No.
Cool.
Okay.
Well, if anyone's in the Takapuna area and doesn't mind if I come and like...
Yeah, I could sit outside.
I could sit on the front lawn and just watch the TV through the window.
You want a tip?
Yeah.
This is what I used to do when I didn't have Wi-Fi at home.
Yeah.
You download everything while you're at work.
Perfect.
Okay, cool.
You might get a stern email from the tech department.
We'll deal with that when we come to it.
Okay, that's fine.
All right, perfect.
Hey, I want to talk about this story.
This actually gives me so much anxiety.
This poor guy, get this.
He's 20 years old.
He's driving a delivery truck for his mum,
who's a single mum and she's got a business.
So he's delivering things.
I think it's paper, Yoss paper it said.
I don't know what that is.
What's a Yoss paper?
I don't know, but he's driving this car around
and he's fallen asleep at the wheel.
Oh.
He's ran into four parked cars.
Okay. Which included three Ferrari 488s and a Ferrari F12.
What are the chances?
The damage bill apparently is $945,000.
This poor kid.
He said he was so tired.
It was a lapse in concentration.
He just happened to run into all four of these cars.
What are the chances that when you hit a car,
first of all, that it's a Ferrari?
Exactly.
Low, there's not many around.
Four Ferraris?
So they were obviously all...
At a Ferrari party.
Yeah, and they were driving around, obviously,
and they've parked, and then this guy, these poor guys obviously all driving. At a Ferrari party. Yeah. And they were driving around, obviously, and they've parked.
And then this guy, these poor guys hit all four.
You shouldn't drive if you're tired.
No.
This is the message because things like this can happen or worse, someone can die.
Exactly.
But at the same time, you just got to feel for this guy.
Poor guy.
So apparently they're from a really poverty stricken family.
Oh, don't say there's no insurance.
Don't tell me there's no insurance.
I can't stand these stories.
They're fighting it out at the moment.
But hopefully the insurance company is going to come to the table
for some of it.
And the insurance company won't.
You know who should come to the table?
The Ferrari owners.
If you're rich enough to have a Ferrari,
you're rich enough to have it insured.
Help this poor guy out.
Their dad died when they were young and now it's him and his brother and their poor single
mum.
Anyway, this is so nice.
Yeah.
Apparently, I don't know how this started, but they've gathered a bunch of donations
and it's totaling $245,000 to assist with covering the cost of damage.
That's lovely.
Only $700,000 left.
You know, I got hit once by a really rich guy.
What car was he driving?
He was driving quite a nice Audi.
And he backed into me.
It was completely his fault.
Yeah.
And I got out and I said, look, this is your fault.
We'll do a swap.
You've severely damaged the Honda Accord.
The people mover.
Yeah, yeah.
And he goes, I completely accept that.
I go, cool, can we exchange
insurance details? And he goes, I don't have insurance.
What do you mean
you don't have insurance? He goes,
I'm too rich. Yes.
He said, I'm too rich for insurance.
What do you mean? He goes, for me,
I'm a good driver and
no matter what I hit, I could afford to fix
it. So I've decided over my lifetime
that I would be wasting money if I paid for insurance.
I'd rather risk it and just take the chance
and if I hit something, I'll just pay for it.
Not if he hits the four Ferraris.
Not if he hits the four Ferraris.
Then he'll really wish he'd gone to the AA
or something like that.
That is crazy.
I wanted to ask this afternoon on 0800DialZM,
what expensive car did you hit?
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. And what car did you hit? Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And what car were you driving?
Yeah.
What's the difference?
What's, did you hit a Beamer?
Was it a Range Rover?
What car did you hit?
Yeah.
Or maybe you would like, maybe you would like a valet job,
like at the airport or something,
and you had to park someone's Bugatti or their Lamborghini or something.
Yeah.
Or yeah.
What expensive car did you wreck?
Crash into, yeah.
0800-
Dial ZM now.
Or you can text us on 946.
9696.
So close.
Bree and Clint.
Poor delivery driver has hit four cars parked,
which cost a total of $945,000 worth of damage.
Four Raris.
Four Ferraris.
Four Ferraris.
Four Raris.
Four Raris.
That is devastating.
That is just...
Poor guy.
Apparently, insurance is not going to cover it.
It'd be like dominoes.
It'd be like rich people dominoes.
One goes, next one goes.
Can you imagine stepping out and having a look at that?
You should see the pictures of this thing.
You know what doesn't look incredibly robust either?
A Ferrari.
They're obviously beautiful vehicles,
but they look like if you accidentally hit the kerb a little bit,
like if you parked it too close to the kerb,
the whole thing would fold in half.
It does.
Yeah, they crushed.
And it would cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix.
We're asking on 0800DALZM this afternoon, what expensive car did you hit?
0800DialZM.
Ellie.
Hi, Ellie.
Hello.
What expensive car did you hit, Ellie?
I hit an Audi.
Oh.
Yeah.
I was driving on the motorway at Spaghetti Junction in Auckland and rear-ended an Audi,
which was not good in my little 1994 Sentra.
You know, I had one of those too.
A fantastic car.
Incredibly reliable.
I bet it came off really well in that accident.
Yeah, I bet yours looked a lot better than the Audi did.
Well, it wrote my car off.
Oh.
So it really didn't go well either way.
Let's be real.
Your car was probably worth like eight bucks.
Yeah.
Did you have insurance?
Luckily, I did.
Good work, Ellie.
Oh, thank God, Ellie.
Good work.
Next, let's go and talk to Ella.
Hi, Ella.
Ella, are you there?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, hi.
What expensive car did you hit?
I hit a brand new Lexus two days after I got my restricted in my Toyota Corona in 1995.
What happened?
Oh, it wasn't too bad.
I just reversed into it when I was pulling out of a car park,
and I did probably about a 10-centimeter scratch on it, and that was it.
No damage to my car.
Yeah.
But it cost just under a grand to fix.
Oh. No insurance. Oh car. Yeah. But it cost just under a grand to fix. Oh.
No insurance.
Oh.
And I didn't tell my parents.
And then my dad found out by looking at the back of my car
and underneath the mud flap, I still had the Lexus badge.
Hard to get away with that.
No, that's fine.
You just tell them that you're trying to increase the market value of your car.
You're like, nah, my car must have been fornicating with a Lexus.
My Corona must be part Lexus, Dad.
Must have been mounting a Lexus.
We got a great deal.
Hi, Bex.
Welcome to the show.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
What expensive car did you hit, Bex?
I actually hit the back of a BMW, which in turn hit a four-wheel drive surf truck, which hit a Suzuki.
Oh, God.
At least it's gone down in value each time it's hit, right?
Yeah, it was $39,000 all up for all three cars.
Okay, here we go.
Please tell me you had insurance.
Yeah, I had insurance.
Good work.
What were you driving?
Just a little Mazda 323.
How does a little Mazda 323, you must have been going fast
to smash. No, I would have been
going probably about 20k. All the cars
in front, it was like a pile up stopped
in the middle of rain. So
just locking up at that sort of speed
like the rain just hit underneath the brake.
They call that, she hydroplaned.
Yes, that's it.
That is actually the term. Yes, it is.
Well done. I knew something.
One last one. Hi, Rebecca.
Hi. Rebecca, tell us what happened.
When did you hit an expensive car?
So I hit a Mini Cooper
and I caused $3,000
worth of damage.
So I took out, it was three side
panels and about two windows,
but I did it on an electric scooter.
Wow.
Are you okay?
I blacked out, like it knocked me out.
And then when I came to, I had a big black and blue knee.
You can't get insurance on an electric scooter.
No, no.
I think, I know insurance is involved, but it was my parents,
so they had to fork out for it, and I just had to pay them back.
Of course they did.
And the thing we all really want to know, was the scooter okay?
The only thing that broke on the scooter was the mud flap.
Of course.
Why, and this is a controversial call,
why were all those calls from women drivers?
I think it says something, though, don't you?
We're all giving you the finger through the radio, Clint.
Right now at Lone Star, you can win a trip to Nashville and Cabo San Lucas
thanks to Lone Star.
All you have to do is scan your Lone Star Loyal app with any purchase
until the end of February and you'll go in the draw.
We've been loving this game over the last two weeks.
All you have to do, the bull will start bucking
and you just have to pick when it's going to buck you off.
Yeah, we're giving away some cash to celebrate that competition.
Welcome to the show, Fiona.
Hello.
Hi, Fi.
Hey.
Have you heard this comp in the last couple of weeks?
I have, yes. Okay, perfect. Have you ever ridden a bull before? No, but I Hi, Fi. Hey. Have you heard this comment in the last couple of weeks? I have, yes. Okay,
perfect. Have you ever ridden a bull before?
No, but I would love to.
Have you ridden a mechanical bull before?
No, but I think I would do pretty good.
Have you ridden a horse before? Yes.
Ah, there we go. I used to ride potty calves.
What's a potty calf?
Like a little baby cow.
We had cows when I was younger and we'd go out and feed them. My dad would grab one of them
and then he'd sit me on it.
Yeah.
When I was like seven.
Oh, yeah.
And then he'd go,
ride that bull.
Good dating, Dad.
I'm so country.
I was going to say,
Fiona, you know the rules, right?
We're going to play this for you.
You just yell out stop
when you want to get off.
If you hold on too long
and you get backed off,
you'll get nothing, okay?
Cool, Ed.
All right, let's go, Fi.
Good luck.
Three, two, Cool, then. All right, let's go, Fi. Good luck. Three, two, one.
Five.
25.
Yeah, you're right, Apple.
80.
180.
Kenny, hold on.
Whoa, you can do it.

No
That is one angry ball
850
1000 No $150. $1,000.
No!
That's it.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
I hate $1,000.
You know what?
I like $400.
You did really well, Fee.
Yeah.
I'm still a winner.
You are still a winner.
And we're going to put $400 in your account, okay?
It's great.
Thank you.
Nice work, Fiona.
Yeah, thank you.
And thanks, Lone Star, as well.
We'll play again tomorrow, our last day of this game tomorrow.
Yeah, hopefully it's a big one.
I've got a feeling for the last one it'll be a big one.
Surely, but you never know.
You just don't know.
Bree and Clint.
I challenge you to a song.
We're going to have another song off before float.
So you and I are DJing there in nine days' time.
Yes.
We thought we'd found all our music.
We had our Darude.
We had our John Farnham, The Voice.
We had somehow High School Musical in there,
as well as good songs as well.
But you and I both feel that maybe we're missing a song.
It's missing one, I think.
And we need to decide on that before the end of the day.
I think I know what the song is.
Okay.
And you think you know what the song is. I don't know what you've picked. No, but I don't think I know what the song is. Okay. And you think you know what the song is.
I don't know what you've picked.
No, but I don't think we've agreed on a track.
Okay.
So what we've done is we've amassed another music jury.
We have Callum, Jordan, Kylie, Christina and Dylan
waiting on the phone.
And majority wins.
Okay.
Whoever's song gets the most votes is going in our set.
Yep.
And that's it.
We lock it off.
We're good to go.
Okay. I'm nervous. You go
first. You go first. No, you go first.
Papers, Scissors, Rocks.
1, 2, 3, show. Papers, Scissors, Rocks
show. You go first.
Alright, guys.
I feel like
our DJ set
is missing
a bit of that party vibe island flavour.
Ooh, island flavour.
So I've decided to go with the iconic, the legendary track
from the Vengaboys.
I forgot the name of it.
This one.
Damn, you're really into this song if you don't know the name of it.
No, because I always think of it as the Venga Bus is coming,
but it's actually not called that.
It's called the Venga Bus.
No, it's not.
Is it not?
It's like We Like to Party, it's called.
The Venga Boys. It's like We Like To Party, it's called. The Vinger Boys.
It's called We Like To Party.
Who cares?
This is your song, yeah?
That's my song.
Strong, strong choice.
Strong?
Strong choice.
I won't take that away from you.
I won't even try and slander your song because it's strong.
I feel like it would mix well.
However.
You know why I want it?
Yeah.
It's good crowd involvement.
Not two minutes ago, you used the phrase,
support New Zealand music.
And that's what I'm imploring New Zealand to do right now
with my song.
I knew it was going to be this song.
I have, for my selection for the final song for our DJ set,
the greatest New Zealand pop song ever made.
You even said that this is the best New Zealand pop song.
This is the biggest New Zealand banger.
And that's why I think our DJ set is lacking the Pātea Māori Club Pōie.
Pātea Māori Club Pōie. Imagine that.
We're at Lake Tikitapu in Rotorua,
the cultural centre of New Zealand.
And out across the lake, this song is raging.
And can I say, I've DJ'd this song to a huge crowd before.
I've played this song on stage at New Year's Eve at Rhythm and Vines.
Oh, gig drop.
No, I'm telling you,
18,000 people,
this song works.
Okay?
Now we go to the jury.
Okay?
You ready?
Yeah, let's go.
May the best song win.
First jury member is Callum.
Hi, Callum.
Hi, Callum.
Hey, how are you?
Venga Boys or Poirier?
I think I'm going to bring some of that Kiwi flavour, right?
You're going to put a bit of Kiwi flavour in there?
You need to say the words for us, please.
Yeah, Poirier.
One vote, Poirier.
Thank you very much.
What?
Nothing.
Let's go to the next one.
Jordan.
Hi, Jordan.
Hi.
What do you think, Jordan. Hi, Jordan. Hi. What do you think, Jordan?
Going to have to go with Breeze Song.
Breeze Song.
I love it, Jordan. Thanks for the support.
But the thing is that I didn't know what you were picking.
You didn't know what I was picking.
I'm happy with Poye too, so I'm happy with either or.
Don't admit defeat before you've lost.
I know how competitive you are.
I'm not admitting defeat.
I'm just saying I love that song.
I like Vengabus too, but I want to win.
Third jury member of five, Kylie.
Kylie.
Hi there.
How are you guys doing?
Very good.
Is this a hard decision for you?
Yes, it was because those two songs are my favourite songs.
Oh, I love it.
Which only one can go in?
Poor Year or The Vengaboys?
I'm sorry, Clint, but I have to go with three or four.
I'm Vinger Boys.
Thanks, Kylie.
It's absolutely fine.
Love your support.
You're riding away with support at the moment too
because The Vinger Boys just played in Auckland on Friday.
And you know what?
When I saw them perform that,
I've never seen a crowd go off like they did to that song.
2-1.
If you take this point, it's over, okay?
Christina.
Hi, Christina.
Hi.
Christina, you sound like a pop music fan to me.
You sound like someone who knows good music.
Yeah.
What song is going in the DJ set?
Poirier or the Vengaboys?
I've deliberated with my children.
Yes.
And we've gone with, I'm sorry, Bree,
but we're going with Clint Poirier.
So we're in a lockdown here.
We're at stalemate.
Tie break.
Dylan, the power
is in your hands, okay?
The last song for our DJ set.
Before you tell us, do you
like both of these songs?
I love them both. This is going to be
really hard. Excellent, Dylan.
I'm glad that it's a hard decision.
Dylan, I just want to say, are you a New Zealander?
I sure am.
Are you a proud New Zealander?
Yeah, but do you want to go to Ibiza?
Do you want to go to Ibiza?
Are you going to float, Dylan?
Guys, it's so hard for me.
You're making it so hard.
Dylan, just picture it there.
We'll throw beach balls into the crowd.
The Vangor bus will be bringing it all the way home.
We'll swing poise around.
We'll chant.
It'll be great.
Just tell us, Dylan, what song is the last song going into the Hot Mess Express DJ set?
I love you guys so much.
This has been very hard for me to think of,
but I'm going with Poirier.
Dylan.
I love you, Dylan.
I think I might have just found a double pass to float for you.
Oh, what?
I didn't want to give it as a bribe beforehand,
but I think we can make it work.
You're kidding, right?
You'll be there.
He hasn't ticked this off.
No, I haven't got permission, but we'll make it work.
He's literally just sent it out of nowhere.
Dylan, Dylan, Dylan Dylan I'm one of the
headline artists
at Float
I can get you
on my rider
you can be on
my private guest list
it'd be great
to have you there
Dylan
I'd love to see you guys
that's so cool
thank you so much
we'll see you there
next weekend
weather forecast
is incredible
and it's going to be
a great day
awesome
cool
Brie and Clint

Not really.
Picking a movie based on just the plot line, that she can do.
Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
Producer Ben, the record for the year is

Brie.
Brie.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is correct.
Yes!
Love that film.
I would have also accepted Benjamin Button.
Oh.
But that's totally fine.
You absolutely nailed it.
I was going to say, that's the full name.
Comeback time, right, Cameron?
You got this, right, mate? I nailed it. I was going to say, that's the full name. Comeback time, right? Cameron, you got this, right, mate?
I got it.

That was Brave.
It's a cartoon film.

No, give him.
No, you get the tickets and you can take them to the movie with you, all right?
Good, I get the tickets.
Cameron, hang on the line.
I'm going to give you the tickets.
Cameron's got no idea what's going on.
Bree and Clint.
I need to talk to you about something that happened over on the holiday break
and I want to get your take on it.
Oh, no, you're not pregnant too, are you?
No, I'm not pregnant.
But I also want to get the B and C family, so everyone listening,
I want to get their take on it to see if I'm being unreasonable
or if I'm in the right.
Okay.
So the situation was we're on a family holiday,
and the people that were there at the time were me, my mum,
my sister, and my sister's new husband.
Okay.
Where was your hot brother?
He wasn't there at the time
Anyway, where was Big Steve?
He was working, typical Big Steve
So it was us four, my mum
me, my sister and my sister's new husband
For a couple of nights we
had all been staying at the same
place and my mum
had been cooking for all of us
and she'd bought groceries So we all decided, me, my sister and my mum had been cooking for all of us and she'd bought groceries.
So we all decided, me, my sister and my sister's new husband,
that we would go to the grocery store, we would buy groceries
and then we would make dinner for everyone that night.
Lovely idea.
Yeah.
So we were all there.
We went to the supermarket.
We bought the groceries that we were going to cook dinner with.
I was going to cook dinner. Bree's actually not a bad cook, by the way. Yeah. So I the groceries that we were going to cook dinner with. I was going to cook dinner.
Bree's actually not a bad cook, by the way.
Yeah, so I was like, I'm fine to cook.
I'd be happy to do that.
Despite all the Uber Eats, she can actually handle herself in the kitchen.
So we get to the checkout and we're at the self-service checkout,
me, my sister and my sister's husband.
And my sister looks at me and I've put it all through the checkout
and it came to $90.
Yeah. She said, great, let's split it. And I said, perfect. Sounds great. In my head,
splitting it meant we obviously split this three ways, $30 each. In her mind and in her husband, her new husband's new mind, it was 50-50.
So I paid 45 and then they as a couple paid 45.
Yeah.
What?
I was confused.
And at the time, I didn't say anything because I was like,
is that right?
Yeah.
Or is that, wait.
Yeah.
And I know what you're saying.
It's only $15, right?
But it's the principal.
It's the principal.
Yes.
And it actually happened twice on the holiday.
Yeah.
So it wasn't a mistake.
It happened twice.
So there's two schools. Let me just break this down for you as an outsider. I think there's two schools of thinking here. Yeah. So it wasn't a mistake. It happened twice. So there's two schools.
Let me just break this down for you as an outsider.
I think there's two schools of thinking here.
Yes.
One, you are two households.
There is their household and there is your household.
Right.
So you're splitting it in that way.
They come as an item.
Okay.
But the other way of looking at that is there's three mouths.
So you're all eating a third of this food.
Yeah.
Well, a quarter, and then you're shouting your mum, right?
Exactly.
Mum gets shouted because she pays for everything usually. But then back to it, like he's a guest of this food. Yeah. Well, a quarter, and then you're shouting your mum, right? Exactly. Mum gets shouted
because she pays for everything usually.
But then back to it,
like he's a guest to the family.
So maybe you're just your sister
and you should go halves.
But.
I just gave Clint a real dirty look.
Look, there's plenty of ways to skin this
is what I'm saying.
But I'm on,
I think I'm on your side.
Are you on my side?
Yeah, I would have just stepped up.
Do you believe we should have split it three ways?
Put it this way.
I went away with, no, it doesn't count actually
because over my Christmas holiday,
I went away with three other couples
and so we just went quarters because we were four couples.
That's fine.
That's fine.
But if there was a single person there,
there's no way we would have made them pay
the same equal share as the couples.
No, you're right.
You're right.
You're right.
So I want to know on 0800DIALSATM, can you solve this for me?
Yeah.
Who's in the right?
Yeah.
Should it be split three ways or should it be split down the middle?
Me and then them as a couple.
You can text us on 9696 or you can call 0800DIALSATM.
We'll take a jury.
There's a war going on. We'll take a jury. Brian Clint.
There's a war going on.
We're just sorting out family debacles on the radio here.
Isn't that good?
Yeah.
It's great.
This is good when your family live in a different country.
Yeah.
He is hoping they never find the iHeartRadio app.
Well, to be honest, I probably wouldn't mind if they heard it because it actually kind
of upset me a little bit because it happened a few times over the holiday break where me
and my family were on holidays together. My sister's new husband was also there. We've decided that we were
going to buy groceries for everyone and cook my mum a meal because she had bought us everything
under the sun. So we went to the grocery store, we bought all the groceries. Then my sister,
my sister's new husband and me split it down the middle. How new are we talking?
Oh, sorry, you've got to explain the split.
That's the important bit.
They said, let's split it.
So it was $90 and then somehow I paid $45
and then they paid $45 as a couple.
And I was like, wait, when you become a couple,
does that mean you only have to put in for one person?
I know you and I know you're not a stingy person.
No.
So it's not about the money, right?
It's about the principle.
No.
And to be honest, this happened twice over the holidays.
So it wasn't an accident.
How new is the husband?
March last year.
How long has he been in the family with you guys?
Four years.
Do you consider him part of the family?
He's a part of the family.
So you got to chip in.
Like it's almost if you're not part of the family,
that's when you get let off.
You go, oh, don't worry, mate, you're a guest.
Yeah.
When you're part of the family, that comes with obligations, right?
But to be honest.
Step up, do some dishes, that sort of thing.
Even if I was a guest, that would make me more inclined to put in.
Yeah.
Because, you know.
But everybody is different.
True.
Everybody is different.
So you want to know.
I want to know, should the bill have been split 50-50 or three ways?
Hi, Jess. Welcome to the Thomas L family debate. Hi. Hi, Jess. Should the bill have been split 50-50 or three ways?
Hi, Jess.
Welcome to the Thomas L family debate.
Hi.
Hi, Jess.
What do you think?
I have a kind of different view on it.
Okay.
Just because I've been in a situation before and I've got a friend that's quite a big guy
and he eats quite a lot of food.
Yeah.
So what we did is we were like kind of in couples.
I was with my brother,
but it still kind of classed itself as a couple at the time
with who we were with.
And we made him pay his share of two people
because I was like, there's no way
he's going to eat the same amount of food as me.
That's not fair.
Wow.
Oh, that's a whole different story.
How did that go down?
That's like charging someone extra for their plane seat because they weigh a bit more.
Well, when I say I...
They should.
When I said I made him, we kind of just told him.
We were like, oh, we're splitting it four ways, so that's what you're paying.
Yeah.
If I was him, I'd just go, that's fine, I'm eating two meals.
And to be honest, my sister's husband, he ate all the leftovers the next day
and then I really raged.
I was raging after that.
Because it happened previously where we'd done the whole, you know, per person
and he ate way more than everybody else.
And we said next time, that's what's happening.
So in this situation, Jess, should they have gone 50-50 or three ways?
No, in your situation, you should have gone three ways.
I do eat a lot, though, Jess.
Well, you need to.
You've got to eat for two.
Hi, Jared.
How you going?
What do you think, Jared?
50-50?
Three ways all the way, hey?
Three ways all the way.
How good's a three-way, Jared?
It's just better for everyone, you know?
It's cleaner.
Everyone knows what they're entitled to.
You've got to share it around, eh?
Everyone's happy.
Everyone can have a sausage and there is no guilt whatsoever.
Thanks, Jared.
Hey, Johnny, how are you?
Yeah, good, good.
How are you?
Good, thanks, Johnny.
What do you reckon, 50-50 or three-way?
No, no.
I'm a little bit upset that he didn't pay for it all.
That's the manly thing to do.
There you go, Johnny.
Yeah.
Oh, you're sweet, Johnny.
No, I would say three-way.
And I would say that you need to send an invoice,
$15 including $30 inflation.
Yeah, that'll do.
Johnny, I was waiting for someone to come through with this opinion, right?
No problem.
I also wanted just to say to you, Bree,
because I wanted to say it since you started.
Yeah.
Oh, Bree.
Johnny, I love it.
There he is.
I love it.
Let's go, Susan.
Hi, Susan. Hi, Suze. Let's go Susan. Hi, Susan.
Hi, Suze.
Hi.
What do you think, Susan?
Definitely three ways.
It's one food person.
So if you're going to stay in a hotel together
and there's a couple and two singles,
you're not going to expect the singles to play part of the couple share.
That's a good way of looking at it.
There's a really good text that said if they shared one meal together,
then they get to go halves.
But I don't think they did, right?
No, they didn't. No, they were eating
for themselves, that's for sure.
Last one. Gabriel. Kia ora.
Yeah, hi man. What do you think?
Definitely free weight.
Is there any argument,
Gabriel, that they're a couple and that
they are one person?
So their income is, this is what I was thinking,
that they were kind of on the page.
Because their income is joint now, they think that,
yeah, but that doesn't make sense.
Are they both working?
Yes.
All right.
Yeah.
I mean, if everyone's eating it, then everyone should pay for it.
I reckon that's fair.
Yeah.
Gabriel, Bree cooked and Bree paid for half of it.
Who do you think did the dishes?
Oh, hopefully not Bree.
I bloody did the dishes too, Gabriel.
That's not fair.
Spewing.
That's so not fair.
Absolutely spewing.
Is that where you need it?
Let's call my brother-in-law next.
No, I don't want to be part of that.
No, I'm already dreading ever being part of a Thomas L family occasion now. No, that's not
good. I actually feel so much better.
Do you? Yeah, because I was like,
is it me? Am I being petty?
Well, by talking about it on the radio,
maybe, but who cares?
I'm not saying they're bad people. I'm just saying
they should have chipped in.
Birthday Bang is about to happen.
Before then, though, we need to take a minute
because we have breaking news.
Oh, my God.
What is it?
The Hot Mess Express single.
Oh, my God.
Send It.
Send It.
Released to iTunes today.
Has just experienced more chart movement.
Last time we reported was about 30 minutes ago
where we said the song is sitting in the
9th position.
I was happy with
top 10 in New Zealand. Top 10.
Like what an achievement.
Released today, the iTunes overall singles chart
2.
Oh my god! We have the number 2 song Two. Oh, my God.
We have the number two song in the country.
Let me see you send it.
What?
The only song beating us at the moment is George Ezra's Shotgun.
Oh, get out of there, Shotgun.
Get out of there, George Ezra.
Get out of there.
You've had your time.
Get out of there, George Ezra.
You've had your time.
Look, we're getting ahead of ourselves, okay?
We haven't done it yet.
There could be a huge gap between us and number one.
We don't know.
He just played here last week, but...
Could we have a number one single?
Well, we could.
Does that mean this could potentially be played
in Birthday Banger at some point?
A hundred percent.
If it gets to number one,
other radio stations have to play it as well.
Oh, my God.
This is the iTunes chart that we're dealing with first.
Okay.
The official New Zealand Top 40 chart comes out once a week.
At the moment we're dealing with the iTunes chart.
This is a start.
Hey, I'm happy with the iTunes chart.
That's an achievement.
If you're interested in supporting this project,
the Hot Mess Express.
Be a part of it.
It's our DJ duo.
If that doesn't make any sense to you at all,
now's the time to do it.
Like, we've got this momentum here.
If we could just get a few more downloads right now.
It's $2.40.
It's on iTunes.
I know you haven't used iTunes for a long time.
But if you can find it in your heart to support a local Kiwi act slash Aussie,
that would be great.
That would be pretty good.
Okay, there's still a birthday banger.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday. slash Aussie, that would be great. That would be pretty good. Okay, let's do a birthday banger.
It's my birthday.

Free and Clint.
Public holiday yesterday.
How good was it?
How good?
Beautiful day.
I was so confused.
Like, you know when you get that public holiday and then last night I was like, oh, shit,
it's Monday tomorrow.
Oh, no, wait, it's not Monday.
Wait, what's going on?
And I was really confused.
Really nice thing to remind yourself.
Tomorrow's Friday.
And then you get two more days off.
I feel like we should do that every Wednesday, right?
This is Bree and Clint's how do weeks work chat.
It comes only second to generic weather chat
where we chat about the weather.
Whether it's sunny or it's raining.
What day is it?
So yesterday for Waitangi Day,
I went out to Mission Bay to have a swim with one of my mates
and I just shouldn't be outdoors.
Why?
Honestly.
Did you get bit by another spider?
No.
I cut my foot on a barnacle. Shot bowl. So that wasn't great. I just shouldn't be outdoors. Why? Did you get bit by another spider? No.
I cut my foot on a barnacle.
Shotbowl.
So that wasn't great.
So we walked out into the bay and me and my mate decided that we were going to swim to this boy.
Yeah.
It wasn't too far out.
What was his name?
Gary.
No.
It was this like yellow boat boy.
You can't say yellow anymore. You're an idiot. They're called sailors too, not boat boy. You can't say yellow anymore.
You're an idiot.
They're called sailors too, not boat boys.
We started swimming out to this, I was going to say it was a floating boat boy.
You're not going to go and visit a sunk one.
It's not that impressive.
It was made of metal.
Gotcha. It was an item and we decided, you know, that'll be good.
Get a bit exercise. That's a good goal. Gotcha. It was an item. And we decided, you know, that'll be good. Get a bit of exercise.
That's a good goal.
And so we started swimming out to this thing.
Can I say bad decision if you're not a swimmer?
No, it wasn't too deep.
Okay.
And I mean, I'm not the best swimmer, but I thought it'd be fine.
Fine.
As we've started to swim out, I've noticed,
you know those sailboats that have one person in it?
What are they called?
They're either called like a laser or an optimus or-
They're real tiny little sailboats with one person in it.
Yeah.
This sailboat goes past us and I was like, oh, that's cool.
And then another boat goes past us and I was like, oh, a couple of boats out.
As I've turned around, I've realised we're in the direct line of a sailboat sailboat race yeah
i was like oh my god so we're swimming turn around no joke about 40 boats oh god coming straight for
us you could have got clipped in the head you could have died no no joke as i've turned around
this sailboat and they were all kids on the boat.
They'll be optimists, yeah.
This kid has spotted me in the water and he's pulled on,
and to be honest, he would have seen me from miles away.
He pulled the boat break.
He pulled the boat, whatever the thing that you do on the boat,
so hard to miss me that he's fully capsized his sailboat.
So the boy you were swimming out to
was a racing boy.
It was like a marker for the race.
Is that what you...
Yeah.
Is that what we've figured out?
Yeah.
They're all going around that boy.
And what have we learnt?
Never exercise.
Big news for anyone who's ever accidentally sent a message
they wish they hadn't.
You know that horrible feeling when you hit send
and you hear the whoop?
And you're like, oh my God, it's gone.
And you're trying to turn it onto aeroplane mode
or you're trying to turn your phone off and they're not too late.
It used to be back in the day when before iPhones
that
because text took a while
to send
you could quickly
take the battery
off the phone
remember that
yes
you'd pull the battery
off and just hope
for the best
that it just got
lost in transmission
yep
and then you wouldn't
know
you're like
did it get through
no hope for text yet
but Facebook Messenger
have launched an update
yes
where you can delete
sent messages
so this was leaked last year.
There was photos of this leaked last year.
So there was a lot of rumours flying around about this feature
that they were going to release on Messenger.
And finally it has been released where you can delete messages
that you've sent.
Do you know how it works?
Yes.
Okay.
I think so.
So essentially once you've sent a message and I don't know if it's just between,
it's in group messages and also just between one person.
Yeah.
So essentially once you've sent the message, you hold down on the message.
You hold your finger down on the message and it'll come up with two options.
And it says remove for everyone or remove for you.
So I think that might be in the group context.
You have to do it within 15 minutes of sending it.
That's one of the tricks.
I read 10 minutes.
Is it 10 minutes?
It says, yeah.
But you know pretty quickly if you want to remove it,
unless you do some drunk texting and then the next day you're like,
oh, no, then it's too late.
I don't know if you can still remove it if the other person has seen it
because what's the point?
No, you can. Let's test it. I'm going to message you right still remove it if the other person has seen it. Because what's the point? No, you can.
Let's test it. I'm going to message you right now. Can you open your messenger? Yes. So I'll go
Brianna Thomasel
Oh, I just revealed
what your real Facebook name is.
Thank you, mate.
Oh, now people are adding me.
Well, you should be flattered. Here we go.
I'm going to message you now.
Hey, bish.
Okay. Hey, bish. Oh, don't be flattered. Here we go. I'm going to message you now. Hey, bish. Okay.
Hey, bish.
Oh, don't send a novel.
I keep misspelling bish.
That's why.
Hey, bish.
Sent.
Okay.
Now view it.
Can you see it?
Okay.
Hold on.
Yes.
You've seen it?
Yes, I've seen it.
And it's red.
Okay.
Now I'm going to hold down on it and it gives me three options.
Copy, forward or remove. I have hit remove. And it's red. Okay, now I'm going to hold down on it, and it gives me three options, copy, forward, or remove.
I have hit remove.
Remove for everyone.
Yes.
Remove for everyone.
You'll permanently remove this message from all chat members.
They can see that you've removed a message and still report it.
Okay, it's gone online. Oh, so now it just says Clinton Roberts just revealed your real Facebook page,
removed a message.
Oh, see, I mean, that's just as bad.
Or maybe it's not as bad.
It means if you want anything, you need screen caps.
Yeah.
You need to take screen caps because those messages are going to disappear.
Like if you and I get in a fight over something I've said,
I'm removing it.
I don't care if you've seen it.
I don't want you to have the proof.
But then I guess you have to come up with what you would have removed.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like if the other person doesn't get to see it,
then you're like, oh, I'm going to delete that.
Yeah.
Anyway, if you want it to work, you need the newest version of Messenger.
And again, it's not going to save you if you drunk DM late at night
and then wake up the next day and regret it, okay?
Also, how bad are our Facebook disguises?
They're just our real names.
