My wife paid a man to build a deck
She earns more
Most people don't ask
If you just go Yeah I built a deck this summer earns more than me. Most people don't ask.
If you just go, yeah, I built a deck this summer.
Just let them assume that you did the work. I just love hearing you guys say deck.
What?
We're talking about our penises.
Yeah, Ross.
I built my penis.
Yeah, Ross is from the ground up.
And then your wife paid a guy to build one as well.
Yeah.
Well, she paid the doctor for Viagra.
That's how you build it when you get to my age.
You stained it though, right?
In my mind
Every time you said it I was making a little joke
And I forget how many overseas
Listeners we have to this podcast
We're saying deck
D-E-C-K
And once you have a kid and
Get a little bit older you get a dad deck
Don't you?
That stain a different colour?
Yep.
Here's the podcast.
Hey, thanks, Ross.
And well-timed, too.
We've got to get out of here.
I mean, just quickly, the producers,
do you have anything you needed to say?
He's definitely been drinking.
He's been drinking heavily again.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hey, that's us.
I think you should get that checked out.
Does that new intro trigger people, Siri?
What? Oh, good.
Can you send us a text?
Did we just trigger your Siri just then with that?
9696, has your Siri gone off?
And also, did she know the answer to the question?
Is it true, can I ask, Siri gets to know your voice?
Yes.
Is that right?
They all do, yeah.
Alexa, Google, they all do, yeah.
Yeah, so like my voice would be used to, my Siri would be used to my voice.
Does that mean, let's see if you can ask my Siri to open.
G'day, Siri, it's Bree from Australia.
Nah, it doesn't know my voice.
You arsehole.
Hey, today on the show.
That was pretty spot on, actually.
Every single person who gets on here with us,
is that what we're doing? Every single person is going to win some Arnott's chocolate blocks.
I know, every caller that makes it to air, we're just dishing it out all afternoon.
Bree bought back way too much of the chocolate.
It was a lovely idea.
She saw her in Australia and she went, oh, I can do the voice again.
Bonza, they don't have this in New Zealand.
We don't say Bonza.
So she bought back a whole suitcase, unbeknownst to her, that it launched in super have this in New Zealand. We don't say Bonza. So she brought back a whole suitcase,
unbeknownst to her that it launched in supermarkets this week as well.
But that's cool.
It just means we've got lots to give away, right?
Exactly right.
We get to give it to you guys to try for free,
and you can get it in all countdowns and everything, everywhere anyway.
We'll start quickly as well.
Oh, $800.
We'll give a couple of blocks away.
Yeah, call now if you want some Arnott's chocolate blocks.
Next on the show, you want to talk about a wife who has gone viral.
Well, she's made her husband gone viral.
She's made her husband gone viral?
She's made her husband go viral.
Now I'm just all Aussie-fied.
She's made her husband go viral because she wanted to teach him a lesson.
Okay, cool.
Punishment tips tips Crikey
Straight, this is going to be a good show
Bree and Clint
He's Normani, ZM
You're a snorer, aren't you?
Yeah, unfortunately I am
Are you getting worse?
I feel like you get worse as you get older
I think I only snore
on one side.
You're asleep.
Yeah.
No,
but I've got someone
constantly monitoring me.
What are you,
I love how you think.
You're like,
no,
I'm not too bad.
I'm like,
well,
you're asleep.
We've got a system,
me and my wife.
You sleep in the spare room.
No,
I sleep and snore
and she kicks me
like fairly hard
and I don't get angry, I just roll over.
That's the system. I go
and I realise I was snoring and I just
turn over. And she doesn't apologise
and I don't apologise. And I think the system
is going well.
Well, look, your wife Lucy
if she wants a few more ideas
she could take a page out
of this woman's book because she got so fed up with her husband who she's been married to for a long time
with his snoring that she came up with a plan.
She goes, how can I show him how annoying this is?
Yeah, sure.
So what she did was, I mean, the logical thing, she recorded him snoring,
all of his different types of snores for four years.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Four years' worth of work she put into this
to create the remix of Despacito featuring her husband snoring. That's very, very good.
It's been downloaded on Spotify over 200,000 times.
It's brilliant.
Snoring is such an obnoxious noise.
It's so bad. It's just so penet is such an obnoxious noise It's so bad
So penetrating and so upsetting
And the most upsetting thing is
She's done all this work
She's played it to her husband
It's not going to change anything
It's not like he can go
I've seen the error of my waist
I'll stop snoring
Because it's not how snoring works
There is no cure
The only cure is to getting a new husband
I was going to say divorce
It's the only cure is to getting a new husband. I was going to say divorce.
It's the only cure.
Bree and Clint. This is quite interesting for parents out there who are looking for
creative ways to punish their children.
Sounds sadistic, doesn't it? But it's not.
It's just me now as a
parent, I hope
to be this type of parent when
two years older. Because I mean, when
I think of creative ways these days,
parents take technology off their kids.
A hundred percent.
That's what you do.
Because that is going to punish them and hurt them the most.
Whereas back in my day, I just got a smack on the bottom.
Yeah, and you can't do that anymore either.
So you've got to find other ways.
Yeah, well, you need to start getting creative.
You know why my parents stopped giving me smacks?
Why?
Because you got stronger than them and you smacked them back?
No, because apparently I used to say, that didn't hurt.
Is that all you got?
Hit me harder.
Is that all you got?
And then my mum was like, I felt real weird.
I couldn't smack you anymore.
You looked them right in the eyes and you're like, thank you.
Yeah, that would stop it pretty quick, wouldn't it?
Thanks, daddy.
No, okay, stop now.
That's not okay.
This is not one of those stories.
Chris and Cassie Langan from Australia have gone viral
because they asked their kids if they wanted to go on a day trip to,
I asked you where this place was before.
How do you say it?
Warrnambool.
Warrnambool in Victoria on the Great Ocean Highway.
Yeah.
So just like a day trip, get in the car, go for a drive,
see some good sights.
The Great Ocean Highway is beautiful. Yes, day trip, get in the car, go for a drive, see some good sights. The Great Ocean Highway is
beautiful. Yes, and their teenagers said
what all teenagers say,
that's so boring, we don't want to go.
Typical. So they said, alright, fine,
let's not argue with you, it's our holiday too.
You stay here then. You stay here, we'll
take another family member who's much
more overworked and tired than you
are and deserves a rest. Is this what they
said to them? Yeah, and deserves a – this person really needs to unplug and take a day off.
So they took the Wi-Fi router.
See, taking technology away hurts them.
Their three teenagers stayed home with no Wi-Fi
and they instead took the Wi-Fi router, they took it to a carnival.
You know those clowns?
You put the ping pong ball in the middle.
Oh, he would love that.
There's a photo of the router at the carnival.
They took the router to a playground.
It's a photo of the router going down a slide.
They took the router to the beach.
This one's bad, actually.
You see the router in the sand.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, the...
They even took the router for a kebab.
Routers do love kebabs, don't they?
Yeah, well, this one does.
The D-Link really enjoyed his kebab.
So they took it to the beach.
Yeah.
Did they take it for a surf?
No pictures of it going for a surf.
Lucky it can surf the web.
Oh, that's what you're all about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This post, which is not on like a public Facebook page or anything.
Yeah, it's just on there.
It's just on their personal Facebook page.
And about a day and a half has had 105,000 likes.
Because parents have just gone, Jean, yes, this is how we do it.
And that is how you do it.
That's the only power you have.
It is all power.
But unfortunately, hopefully, they're not still paying their telephone bills. 100%.
Oh, because they've racked up the data? Yeah.
And also, they're teenagers. They probably have backup
routers. Yeah.
You can't out-technology a teenager.
But anyway, you can try it. A backup
router. Something. Quick,
Jerry, get the backup router.
Bree and Clint
from iHeartRadio. This is
the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Live to LA where yesterday we spoke to Dean McCarthy in the middle of a date.
He literally stopped a date to take a phone call with us to give us the news.
And to be honest, we just want to know how did it go?
Yeah, how was the rest of the date?
Date went so well.
We've got another date.
We've had a few dates.
This is like a bit of a thing actually date. We've had a few dates. This is like a bit of a thing, actually.
So we've had a few dates.
And yeah, he's a babe.
I'll tell you that he's Instagram offline.
Okay.
I want to have a little sneaky stalk.
Or say on air and everybody can go in.
Would he be creeped out if he got like 50 new Kiwi followers?
Sean Palmieri. Yeah, no, he would be creeped out. He'd find it followers? Sean Palmieri.
Yeah, no, he would be creeped out.
He'd find it funny.
Sean Palmieri.
Wow, you're really going for it.
Give out yours as well while you're at it.
Hey, Dean, tell us what's going on with Jeff Bezos
and his donation to the Australian wildfires.
Yeah, so here's the deal, right?
So obviously it's great that he has donated money.
In fact, he donated $690,000 to the Fives, which is great.
However, it didn't land well.
Is it great, Dean?
Well.
Is it?
He's worth, well, I'm trying to be positive.
No, well, it's not a very big amount when you consider he's worth $116 billion.
So, you know, Nicole and Keith gave $500 grand.
Pink gave $500 grand.
Chris Hemsworth gave $1 million.
Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, gave $690,000, which, by the way, is a very
unusual number.
But there you go.
Look, all of it helps.
All of it helps.
I don't know what to say.
You know.
Knowledge donations are bad for me.
Are there Amazon stores in Australia?
Yeah, people use Amazon, yeah.
That's a good question.
So they do have a business in Australia
and he is making money out of Australia.
I wonder if he's donated the profits from that week
from Australia or something.
It's just a bizarre number to choose
because it's all about scale, right?
And if Jeff Bezos had turned around and gone,
I'm a billionaire, I'm donating a billion dollars.
Amazing. And imagine the difference he could
make. But people,
I don't know the guy, obviously, but people like him
just don't care. If you're racking up that amount
of money, you have the ability to
end world hunger. Literally.
You could cure a country of
any kind of illness you wanted
and he just doesn't care.
It's a token amount and he just doesn't care. It's a token amount. He needs that new Ferrari.
Because the other five Ferraris.
Yeah, that's like a Porsche.
Yeah.
Okay, that is the latest with Dean McCarthy.
Live out of Los Angeles.
Bree and Clint.
Zed and Bree and Clint.
That's the new Justin Bieber track.
It's called Yummy.
Which I find quite a creepy title.
But anyway, that's his new song.
He's copping a little bit of heat over that at the moment, that song.
How long has it been?
I know he released that song.
Last week.
Oh, last week?
Last week.
But before that, when was the last release?
He released the one with Ed Sheeran.
Yeah.
But when was the last time he released the song?
I think he's been in a little bit of a hiatus.
Yeah.
Because he got married and... He was doing him for a little bit. Yeah, I think he's been in a little bit of a hiatus. Yeah. Because like he got married and I think he...
Yeah, doing him for a little bit.
Yeah, I think he was just doing him for a bit.
The reason he's copping it a bit is around the promotion of the song.
People are saying that he seems a little bit desperate to get,
or despacito as we said before,
to get the song to the number one chart position.
Okay.
Because a few things have happened.
So when it dropped, he did what all artists do and he went on his social media and he said, guys, I really want your help to get this to number one chart position. Okay. Because a few things have happened. So when it dropped, he did what all artists do
and he went on his social media and he said,
guys, I really want your help to get this to number one,
which is fine to do.
Like that's a normal thing to do.
And when you're Justin Bieber
and you've got 124 million Instagram followers,
you'd be dumb not to jump on the story
and tell them about the new song, right?
What's better marketing than that?
Then the thing with Paris Goebel happened.
And have we all seen Paris Goebel, Kiwi Dance Choreographer's video?
Now, she's the one who did a whole album of Justin Bieber music videos
and she famously did the Sorry music video with the girls dancing.
Yeah, she became famous from that.
And then you said she choreographed Rihanna's tour.
She choreographed Rihanna's tour.
She choreographed Rihanna's Fenty New York Fashion Week show. She is, Paris Goebel from Auckland is choreographing
Jennifer Lopez's Super Bowl halftime show.
That is insane.
She is the world's most in demand dance choreographer at the moment.
She shot a video for Justin Bieber's Yummy and it's amazing
and she's invented all these new dance moves in it and it's amazing
and she put it on YouTube and Justin got it taken down.
Justin said.
Well, because it was taking the attention away from his.
I think so because there is an official music video
and people were watching the Paris one.
It was blowing up.
So it got taken down.
Because it's still marketing for your song,
which you want to go to number one.
And it was creating within it.
They'd created the Yummy Challenge.
And so it was becoming this viral thing. So it got taken down. And I think creating, within it, they'd created the Yummy Challenge and so it was becoming
this viral thing.
So it got taken down
and I think-
I saw Stan Walker did it.
Stan Walker did one.
It's all over TikTok.
It was going everywhere.
Yeah.
And I think Justin
or his people realised that,
that it was,
oh, actually,
we probably shouldn't
have had this taken down.
So it went back up
within 24 hours.
The video was back on YouTube.
Now he's copping it a bit
because he's shared a post on his Instagram story
encouraging his fans to stream Yummy on Spotify while they sleep.
He said, create a playlist, add Yummy to it.
Who would do such a thing?
Turn the volume down low because apparently if you mute it,
Spotify doesn't count it
But turn it down real low
Really?
And let Yummy play while you sleep
And everyone's gone
Man, you're so desperate
But it does remind us of
Sounds so desperate
What we did when we released our single
This time last year
With the Hot Mess Express
We may have gone around everyone's Spotify at ZM
and just plugged in headphones so they couldn't hear it
and just set our song to play on repeat.
All of the people who work here and then they wondered
why when their top songs of the year came up that it was our song,
Send It.
But we're not Justin Bieber.
Like, we're not Justin Bieber.
Yeah, we're even more desperate than him.
How would you like an extra four days of annual leave?
A hundred percent, yes.
Who doesn't want more annual leave?
Yeah.
It's awesome.
And there's a company in the UK which if you start work for them,
you could potentially get four extra days of holidays a year. Their managing director, Don Bryden, is offering all of his non-smoking employees an extra
four days of annual leave.
Very clever.
Isn't that interesting?
So he said he came up with the idea after he recognised that staff members who smoked spent up to an hour each time they were taking cigarettes
during the day.
They could spend up to an hour, some maybe longer.
And he said every time he looked at them smoking,
he'd look back at his other employees and they were all working
their butts off.
So he decided, he goes, yeah, I want to, you know,
obviously reward people and he gave him four extra days off.
As a boss, you'd look out there and you'd go, I am paying you to stand there right now.
And I can't, I can't, and I can't tell you not to because you are addicted.
Right.
And you might get angry at me. Okay. So he's saying, if you don't smoke, we'll give you
some more holidays. So it evenss itself out i wonder if that goes
for vapers as well of course it would so not if you don't smoke and don't vape oh right i see what
you're saying yeah oh because because because is he doing it for the for the financial benefits of
his company he's going you guys work harder so you deserve more of a break or is he doing it like
really not is he actually doing it for his employees health is he doing it like really not? Is he actually doing it for his employees' health? Is he doing it to go, I want to get you guys off the death stacks?
I think he originally did it because he wants to be fair
and he said, you know, these employees,
why should they get more time standing around?
So he wanted to make it fair so he's given the extra days off.
But he said after implementing this,
there's a lot of people who are saying they're going to
get off the cigarettes is it just not smoking at work or do you have to prove that you're smoke
free so that's an interesting one too because he also said he goes look you can't just walk into
work and go i'm giving up cigarettes can i have my four days yeah he goes you have to prove i'm
going to smoke on every one of those four days yeah He goes, you have to prove I'm going to smoke on every one of those four days.
Yeah, right? He goes, you have to
prove that you have not been on
cigarettes for a year before
you get the four days off. And how do you prove that?
I don't know. Are ciggies
like a drug test?
Like where you can pee in a cup and they do it
and they go. Yeah, it's nicotine in your system.
Yeah, because then what if you've been exposed to
secondhand smoke? I don't know.
But yeah, I think it's a good idea in principle.
I think it's a cool idea and obviously, you know,
it's going to annoy some people but then it might entice them to give up,
which I think is good all round, you know.
And what do you think though?
Do you think, so say we're here at work and there's people who were smokers
and they were taking those breaks which they you know to have a cigarette
do you think if you and I
who aren't smokers deserve
more days off? Yeah
our job's an interesting
one. No I'm just saying in general
in general
yeah you get peeved off and I think
it's very hard these days to still
like I'd be interested to hear from a smoker who could defend their ciggy breaks.
If you're taking them outside of your lunch break,
like I know you get your morning tea break and your lunch break.
Yes, yep.
And smoke up what you like on those.
Absolutely.
But if you're going out for a dart once an hour
and that dart takes you 10 minutes each time.
Because, I mean, let's be honest, Alan –
Like can you still justify that?
No, I don't think so.
In 2020, can you still go, oh, I'm still.
No, because not as many people are smoking anymore.
This was interesting too because we were doing a whip around to go,
are there any smokers here at ZM that we could ask about this?
And I think.
There's actually not.
I think we've got a smoke-free radio station,
which is really interesting in itself, right?
Yeah.
Any cereal vapors? No. Any serial vapers?
No.
No, Alan doesn't work here.
Alan.
No, he doesn't work at ZM.
You know Alan, he hasn't vaped all year?
It's been 14 days.
Yeah, true.
It's not that long.
I'm proud of him, but when you say all year.
Yeah, he's still at something.
Yeah, well done, Alan, at the same time.
We want to know from people.
Alan hasn't vaped at all this decade.
It's amazing.
We want to know from people on 0800DIALZM.
I want some people who are smokers to call up.
I want some people who are non-smokers.
And I want to hear both sides and their thoughts on –
I want to hear from a smoker, actually, if they think it's fair.
Okay, are you a smoker and do you think it's fair that non-smokers get more holidays than you? Or do you think it's unfair? Or do they think it's fair. Do you, okay, are you a smoker and do you think it's fair
that non-smokers
get more holidays than you?
Or do you think it's unfair?
Or do you think it's unfair?
You can have your opinion.
Yeah,
and are you a non-smoker
and you just really
pissed off at smokers?
Yeah.
Or are you a non-smoker
who thinks smokers
deserve more rights?
Yeah,
no,
there's a lot of situations,
yeah.
Or are you a cigarette?
You can also text your opinion
on 9696.
Have your say.
So there's this boss of a company over in the UK
who came up with this idea after he was watching some employees
having all these smoking breaks and then other employees
still working hard while these other people got breaks.
And he thought, you know what?
The non-smokers deserve four extra days off.
That's a lot.
It's pretty damn good.
I'd be happy.
No, you're not going to say no to it, absolutely.
No.
Yeah.
So, yeah, he thought, you know, I want to reward the people
that aren't taking as many breaks, so he has.
Yeah.
Is it fair?
We've asked smokers who hopefully before they've called
have had a cigarette to calm the nerves, you know, and they're on an equal level playing field.
Yes.
What do they think? And non-smokers as well. So first of all, Shane's here. G'day, Shane.
Hi, Shane.
Hiya.
Smoker or non-smoker?
I've only been smoke-free two months.
Oh, good for you, Shane. That's awesome.
Yeah. Yeah, and I agree with both. It depends on your job.
I can completely understand if you're in an office kind of thing
and you've got to walk outside the building, that's a lot of time.
But what I do, because when I was smoking, I never had a break
and I could just work through because I work outside though.
What do you do?
What job do you do where you can smoke on the job?
I'm a digger operator, so I just smoke in my machine.
Oh, okay.
Are you supposed to, though?
It depends on the site, but most times they let you go
because I'm allowed to do it in my machine.
Right, fair enough.
It just depends on the site, yeah.
So it depends on the job and what you have to do to go have a cigarette.
Yeah.
Most people will allow it so I don't have to stop and walk off. They'll prefer me to keep working. I see what you have to do to go have a cigarette. Yeah. Most people will allow it,
so I don't have to stop and walk off
like they'll prefer me to keep working.
I see what you're saying.
But because I've quit,
I do take both my breaks properly
and I'm constantly hungry.
So just so we're clear,
as a former smoker,
you think it's fair that non-smokers
should get extra holidays?
Yeah, when you're working in an office.
In an office.
Okay, cool.
Thanks, Shane.
Lisa, hi.
Hi, Lisa.
Hi.
Non-smoker or smoker?
I'm a smoker.
Okay, this is what I want to hear.
I want to know from your opinion and your mind,
what are you thinking on this, Lisa?
Smokers shouldn't really get an extra break just to go and have a
smoke. Okay.
You've got set time
for breaks. That's it. No more.
So you as a smoker,
you're saying you don't take
an extra break every hour.
You just smoke on your breaks.
Yeah, that's it.
Okay. Just while you're here, Lisa,
what does this sound do to you?
Why are you doing that to her?
Just trying to see if it gets her going.
I'm so, I apologise for him, Lisa.
Sarah, g'day, Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hiya.
Smoker or non-smoker?
Non-smoker.
Okay, what are your thoughts?
Are you keen for the extra four days off work?
Absolutely.
I was actually a new team leader in a role
and I noticed a lot of my smokers were taking extended breaks
every hour to go and have a cigarette.
Did you crack the whip?
I did crack the whip, and I was rather unpopular with the smokers for doing so.
You know what could fix that?
Well, yeah.
Just go have a cheeky cigarette with them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
No, but I mean, look, I understood the addiction.
Both my parents smoke, so I fully understood it.
But my argument was, well, I don't get to go and have a chocolate bar break every hour
to stand outside.
What about a fresh air break?
Yeah, yeah, you're addicted to fresh air.
There'll be so many smokers out there triggered right now going, it's not the same as being
addicted to chocolate, all right?
It's not the same.
I love chocolate as well.
Do you understand?
Finally, Gene, are you a smoker or a non-smoker?
Smoker.
What are your thoughts on this, Gene?
Yeah, no, I agree with what you guys are saying.
Four days off.
Fine with me.
Doesn't bother me.
Do you think, Gene, I want to know from you being a smoker,
say the company you were working at, if they bought this in,
do you think it would entice you or help you, motivate you to quit smoking?
I think smoking's bad anyway, so probably, yeah,
it would probably entice me to do so.
I mean, that's probably my main goal this year is to give up smoking.
Yeah.
And an extra four days off wouldn't hurt.
Just while you're here,
Jim, before you go,
how much is a pack of
ciggies these days?
Well, I buy 50 gram weekly,
which sounds bad.
Yeah, 100 bucks.
Jeez!
I bought a 30 gram last week
with papers and filters.
That was 75.
So you're spending
100 bucks a week on ciggies?
Yeah, pretty much.
Gene, you might be able to buy a house in Auckland if you give up.
All right, bloody interesting.
They go up 10% every year.
Jeez.
And that is, I didn't realise they were that expensive.
Oh, that is a whole bird in a hole in your wallet, isn't it?
Bree and Clint.
Please welcome to the studio New Zealand icon and new
Kiwi hero, Ben
McDowell, everybody.
Nice.
His moustache.
The reason producer Ben is a true Kiwi
hero and a legend and an icon
is because once and for all, he is
here to disprove the untrusting Australian
Brie Thomas L, that the Kiwi bird
is a real bird. It's real.
It's not real. For those who don't know, Brie Thomas-El, that the kiwi bird is a real bird. It's real. It's real. It's not real.
For those who don't know,
Brie, somewhat controversially,
doesn't believe in our national bird.
She thinks it's a made-up bird.
I think when the people who discovered this country,
Captain Cook, when him and his men got here,
they thought, hmm.
Captain Cook didn't discover this country.
Didn't he?
The Māori were already here.
No, well, when he got here.
This is your first issue.
Yeah, well, it's true.
That's an issue.
No, I'm saying when Captain Cook got here, they go,
hmm, we need to have some sort of national animal.
Let's make up a bird.
And then they were like, oh, but what?
People will be like, oh, we can't see it.
It's flying.
Birds fly.
And they're like, it'll be a flightless bird. Why would he do that
when we've got plenty of flying birds?
Your logic is so flawed. The kiwi was here
before he was. Yeah, exactly. And it's offensive
to our country that you don't believe in the kiwi.
Which is why, over the Christmas period,
I sent Ben to Stewart Island.
The place where 30% of all
kiwis live. The highest chance
you can get to see one is there.
It's a bird sanctuary. It's a wildlife sanctuary, right? Yeah, pretty much. It's pest-free and kiwis live. The highest chance you can get to see one is there. It's a bird sanctuary. It's a wildlife sanctuary,
right? Yeah, pretty much. It's pest-free
and Kiwis can thrive.
The whole thing's not pest-free. I don't know, man.
Okay, sorry. Ben saw a Kiwi.
Oh, so there's chinks in your armour. No, Ben
saw a Kiwi and I've seen the video.
I saw multiple Kiwis over there.
Well, you were hiking around there, right? You saw multiple Kiwis.
Yeah, I did. I saw four of them.
Did they travel in packs? Two of them did.
They were in a pack. Really? The one that I caught the
footage of, there was two of them together. What type
of Kiwi did you see? Just a Stewart Island
brown Kiwi. Wait, there's different types?
Yeah, there's a few different types on the island over
there, yeah. I don't know all of them.
I don't have time to list them all off, but there's so many.
I bet there is. Yeah, there's so many
of them. I've seen the video. It's quite extraordinary.
And this, once and for all, will prove that the Kiwi is real.
Bree, listen to this.
This is the sound of the Kiwi that Ben came across on his hike around Stewart Island.
I'm not going to lie. I didn't know what noise a kiwi made before you got that video.
No, neither did I.
That is high-key terrifying.
Yeah, no, that definitely proves it.
It's like a pterodactyl, like something just prehistoric.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what?
I've actually heard the sound because producer Ben did send it around
and I've grabbed my own sound that I wanted to play
that I believe sounds quite similar.
Yeah, all right.
Let's play the sound effect.
No, that's from Jurassic Park.
Can you tell the two apart?
No, you can.
Both creatures no one has ever seen alive.
No.
You can hear
someone screaming in your way.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Ben found a real kiwi and Ben should be honoured.
I am. I feel so proud. I'm so happy I saw it.
He should be raised up. Until
a kiwi is put here
on the desk in the studio,
I just don't know if I can believe it.
Well, challenge accepted.
I mean, if they do
exist, shouldn't be too hard.
A Kiwi shouldn't have to suffer that.
No, it shouldn't.
No, it shouldn't.
I'll be nice to it.
It's a nocturnal creature. It's an icon.
I'll be nice. Bring a national hero
into the studio and breathe like, is that it? That's what she'll do too. She'll icon. I'll be nice. Bring a national hero into the studio. And Brie's like, is that it?
That's what she'll do too.
She'll go, I'm not impressed.
Remember what happened to Paula Bennett?
Brie and Clint.
A Swedish man has taken to social media to post probably the most controversial pizza since former New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English
posted about the pizza and spaghetti creation
he likes to make.
That pizza is not controversial.
That pizza is a Kiwi icon.
And Bill English was right
if a little misled in his social media advisors.
No, but like, do you normally put spaghetti on your pizza?
Kiwis do.
Really?
Yeah, it's a real traditional Kiwi pizza. Spaghetti on pizza. Really? Yeah, it's a real traditional Kiwi pizza.
Spaghetti on pizza. Really?
And I will say this,
which some people were too scared to at the
time. You had it growing up
and you like it. You're
just too cool now to
admit that you liked it and that you grew up
on spaghetti pizza. Because I remember
was it Domino's came out
with this? Yeah, Tim's Spaghetti Pizza. And I remember, was it Domino's came out with this? Yeah, tinned spaghetti pizza.
And I tried it and I mean I quite liked it
but it didn't taste all that different to other pizzas.
It's not traditional and I think if you went to Napoli in Italy,
I don't think they'd dish it up.
They wouldn't be serving it up.
Waddy's tinned spaghetti on pizza, no.
Yeah, well I don't think they're serving this up either
because he claims that there's a Swedish pizzeria that is serving up a pizza that has kiwi fruit on it.
I heard Vaughan talking about this.
It's, yeah, I saw the picture.
I don't know how to feel about it.
Yeah, they're labelling it an unholy abomination.
Yeah.
So apparently the pizza has kiwi fruit, cheese, a tomato base,
and it kind of looks like a bit of ham on there too.
Yeah, from what I can see,
it's a Hawaiian pizza with kiwi fruit instead of pineapple.
Is that fair to say?
Yeah, that's what it looks like.
Yeah.
I mean, here on the Bree and Clint show,
we love to do the Bree and Clint taste test.
Are we going to try it?
Hit it off.
Okay, cool.
It's time for another Bree and Clint taste test. Are we going to try it? Hit it off. Okay, cool. It's time for another Brie and Clint taste test.
We taste it so you don't have to.
Here it is.
We've made our very own kiwi fruit pizza.
So I need to know, obviously I'm going to taste this now.
Has the kiwi fruit, was the kiwi fruit put on the pizza
before it went in the oven?
Yes, so this has been, we've cooked the kiwifruit.
Yeah.
But it looks like in that pizza they've cooked it too.
Yeah.
It's very, before I taste it, I just want to explain to people at home,
it's very dry looking.
Like the oven has dehydrated the kiwifruit quite a bit
or is there a juicier bit of kiwifruit on there that I could get?
Producer Ellie, what type of pizza have we chosen
to put kiwi fruit on top of then?
This is also a Hawaiian, but I have ripped the pineapple off myself.
Okay, cool.
So this pizza's been touched by multiple people.
It has.
All right, well, bon appetit.
Okay, all right, let's give it a go.
Let's give it a go.
Kiwi fruit on pizza.
It's not good. I don't mind it
The sweetness is too much
The sourness
It's not the sweetness
It's the sourness
To be honest
The kiwi fruit
Kinda tastes like pineapple
It kinda does
But then it's got a sharpness
Inside it
Yeah a little bit
That it doesn't need
You know what it needs?
It needs a bit of
like spicy to it.
Like a bit of
like chilli
or something like that.
I'm not going to say
it's the worst thing
we've had on Taste Test.
No, absolutely not the worst.
It's not bad.
Which I'm really surprised at.
Same, it's better
than I thought it would be.
Me too.
I actually want to,
is there another pizza?
No, that's the cheese that's making you say that.
Like, you go, it's not bad.
I reckon you take the pineapple off, the kiwi fruit off, it'll be way better.
You reckon?
I think so.
Okay, well, we've got to give it a rating out of 10 as we do in a taste test.
Kiwi fruit pizza, what's your rating out of 10?
I'm going to give it a solid 7.5.
I'm going to give it a 4,
which balances us out at a 6.25, I believe,
or a 5.75.
We'll do the math.
We'll do the math later on.
Not bad.
Try it at home.
Bree and Clint.
This is them.
Bree and Clint.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's is a jam. Brie and Clint. Oh my God, I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time
for Brie and Clint's
Insta-fame game.
It's back
for 2020,
the game where we try
and guess how many
followers celebrities
have on Instagram.
That's right.
Who won last year,
Producer Ellie?
Doesn't matter.
I think it might have been you, Bree.
New year, new start.
New fresh start.
So the slate is clean.
It is.
And we're starting from zero.
Producer Ellie has curated a list of celebs.
I have.
And we'll have a go at guessing them.
It's first to three.
Who's up first, Ellie?
All right.
They are all over the news at the moment.
I know Bree might be a bit sick of this couple.
But Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
I don't follow them.
Sussex Roy.
How many Instagram followers do they have?
Bree hates Harry and Meghan.
I don't hate them.
I just think...
How come you never let us cover them in the latest?
Because there's so much news on them.
Kia ora, this is Toby Manhai.
I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime,
a podcast for the spin-off podcast network
all about politics and politicians,
with me, Annabel Leigh-Mather and Ben Thomas,
careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous.
It's not for everyone.
I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea,
but you, I reckon, will love it.
Gone By Lunchtime.
Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts.
Thank God, we get to be talking by lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Thank God.
We get to be talking about something else.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
All right.
For Sussex Royal, Clint, you've put $1.4 million.
Bray, you've put $14 million.
Four zero?
Yeah.
Sussex Royal have $10.7 million.
So that is a point to Clint.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Nice.
Where's our buttons thing gone?
Ding.
Was that good?
There it is.
Cool.
Yeah, okay, cool.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know how I didn't know that.
I'd love to keep up to date.
All right, your next one.
She's in the country this week.
It's Lizzo.
Oh, we're going to see Lizzo tonight.
I'm jealous.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
How many dollars?
What's her handle? Lizzo Beating. Lizzo. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, how many dollars? What's her handle?
Lizzo Beating?
Lizzo Beating.
Oh, is that what it is?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure.
I thought it was Lizzo Beating.
Is it Lizzo Beating?
Beating.
Lizzo Beating.
Yeah.
How good, eh?
I love that clip.
It was like, oh, Lizzo Beating.
Cool.
I think a lot of people might never say it.
I didn't think it made sense.
I just thought that that's what it was.
Oh, I definitely follow her.
Yes.
Okay, I'm going in.
All right, for Lizzo, Clint, you put $14 million.
Bree, you put $24 million.
Lizzo has $7.4 million.
Is that it?
Yeah, you'd think she'd have more, right?
Damn it, I'm two behind.
Oh, no, not a good start for the year to be.
All right, your next one.
She just won the ASB Classic in New Zealand this week and she's donated all the funds to the Aussie bushfires.
It's Serena Williams.
The greatest of all time.
The goat.
Serena Williams would have...
He's going to go for it.
Nice.
All right, for Serena Williams
Clint
You've put 25 million
Bree's put 34 million
Serena Williams
Has 11.9 million
That is a game to Clint
That is a travesty
Damn that's a new year down trowel
Damn
Well there you go
Lizzo be eating.
Yeah.
I hope it is that for your guys' sake now that you've said it out loud.
It absolutely is that.
Because if it isn't, how rude to Lizzo.
How rude of you guys being to Lizzo.
Bree and Clint.
Over the Christmas break, I found out something quite alarming
that I feel like will affect quite a lot of people listening,
especially if you, I don't know, stay in holiday homes
or you book out apartments because that's exactly what we did.
Me and my friends, we booked out this Airbnb in Brisbane,
which was a beautiful, really nice place.
And we were having a bit of trouble with the air conditioning
when we first moved in because the rooms were freezing
and we couldn't figure out how the system worked.
So we were doing everything we could and we tried to figure out
on the iPad that was like obviously operating at all.
Oh, fancy apartment.
Yeah, it was brand new.
We were very lucky.
Our friend who's rich paid for it.
Anyway.
And that sort of apartment, you probably just go,
apartment, turn the air conditioning down.
You'd think so.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, so we finally resorted to, we actually had to look at the,
you know how when you rent an Airbnb,
they send you like a list of, you know, all the stuff.
Instructions.
Instructions and all the stuff that, you know, you need.
Yeah.
Anyway, so we went into that and it's got like all the different categories.
It's got like, you know, all the T's and C's in it
and it's got the air conditioning.
We look at air conditioning and we're looking at this,
nothing in there.
Right.
And it's after that that I spotted something in the T's and C's
that I was quite alarmed at.
Sure.
So this is what it said in the contract.
It said,
Our homes may include surveillance cameras and security cameras of common areas and exteriors of buildings to ensure the safety and security of our guests.
These cameras are not monitored by any person and simply add a measure of safety and security to our homes.
If you have any concerns, please reach out to us.
Right.
That's terrifying.
Which I, did you have any idea?
No, so is that, so that there, is that a standard Airbnb thing
or is that specific to the one that you had rented?
So this is what I looked into and I thought,
okay, I want to go into the Airbnb website
and I want to check out if that's a pretty common thing.
On their website, it actually says,
our standards and expectations require
that all members of the Airbnb community
respect each other's privacy.
More specifically, we require hosts to disclose all security cameras
and other recording devices in their listings.
So what I get from that is that they can place recording devices
inside their homes as long as they tell the people about it.
In the T's and C's that no one reads.
The only places they're not allowed to put them
is bedrooms and bathrooms.
So common areas, lounges, kitchens.
Kitchens.
But let's be real.
If you and your partner are renting one for a raunchy weekend,
you might go, man, we can't do it in the kitchen at home.
Let's do it in the kitchen at this Airbnb.
Well, that's true.
If you wanted to really spice things up.
You can't.
Anyway. Okay, so did you go on a hunt for cameras absolutely so it was 11 o'clock at night me and a couple of friends
we've went downstairs and i googled it and said to turn the lights off and flash like your camera
light around and usually it'll be shiny like kind of make a flicker shiny kind of thing yeah anyway
we did that.
The only place that I could really see was in the tops.
There was these lights hanging over the kitchen bench.
And on each like down light, there was like a little tiny like thing that kind of looked
like a camera.
So you can get cameras built into down lights.
There was a story about there was a batch in New Zealand that was being rented out and
they had put it in the light fitting.
Right.
And it was a Wi-Fi light bulb and the power from the light powered the Wi-Fi camera, which connected to an app.
But they hadn't disclosed it and they had done it for pervy reasons.
Because you can get cameras real cheap now.
So cheap.
And you can put them everywhere.
Yeah, you can hide them up where, like up above the sink
where people have got like a collection of cookbooks and stuff.
Put them there.
Just put a little camera in there.
Because here's the other thing too.
People abuse those places a bit.
So if you're someone who owns a property.
And I get it from the owner's point of view.
You want to know if someone's like running a meth lab out of your Airbnb.
Well, I mean, look at the place down in Dunedin,
what they were doing down there.
What are they doing in Dunedin?
They were running a brothel.
Out of an Airbnb?
Apparently.
Well, that's a great business idea.
I mean, it's not good.
It's not good.
You shouldn't do it.
And I do get it from an owner's perspective.
I would like to know.
If I was a property owner, I would want to know.
But you've got to let people know they're being filmed.
It makes me feel, look, even if I knew,
I still wouldn't feel comfortable.
Would you?
No, 100% no.
I don't want to be watched.
No.
And they say they're not monitored,
but then I've read lots of articles online where people were.
You'd check in.
You'd check in.
You'd check in with every guest just once.
Yeah.
Just to see if they're on the level.
Yeah.
And then if they're really interesting you'd keep watching
What about you producers? How does that make you feel?
Do you feel a bit strange about that?
I'm just like rethinking back to when I was in Queenstown
I'm like oh my god
There could have been cameras
What rooms would you have been particularly at risk in?
Only the bedroom
Don't worry there's no cameras in there, so you're good to go.
You know, that's scary.
Isn't it?
So is it on the listing when you're browsing?
Like, can I see the information before I book or after?
Yes, so when we booked this place, no.
And then they sent through this massive thing.
But anyway, turns out, because it was literally,
I think we were the second people to stay in it,
they hadn't hooked them up yet.
Ellie's like, can they have a camera looking at the dryer?
Okay, 0800DALZM, what's your take on this?
What's your thoughts on, yeah, having Airbnbs, having cameras in the common rooms?
Have you ever found one?
Like have you stayed somewhere and you found a camera in there before?
Have you stayed somewhere where you knew that they were?
Did it make you feel uncomfortable?
And are we dumb?
Like, are we naive to think that there wouldn't be cameras in there?
Is this something that everybody already knows?
I just never thought it.
What are your thoughts?
0800 dial ZM.
Get in touch.
Bree and Clint.
I don't know if anyone else knew this, or maybe it's just me that is stupid-o,
but over the Christmas break, I stayed at an Airbnb
and I was reading the T's and C's because I was looking
at how to control the air conditioning when I stumbled
across this particular part in the contract that said
there could be surveillance cameras in the common areas
inside of the Airbnb.
I may be stupido too, but I didn't know that.
You didn't know that either, right?
No, and having booked Airbnbs in the stupid, but I didn't know that. You didn't know that either, right? No. And having booked
Airbnbs in the past,
like I wish I knew.
You were just saying
in the break,
you're like,
there's a few Airbnbs
I'm having flashbacks of.
No,
I wasn't saying that at all.
No,
you did.
You said,
oh,
that one Bucks night
I went on.
Mate,
when I tell you things
off the radio,
when I tell you things
off the radio,
it's because I didn't want
to say them on the radio.
Has it ever occurred to you?
They mustn't have had cameras.
Okay.
Because you would be in jail.
We want to know from you, are you okay?
Are you okay with cameras being in your Airbnb?
Did you know this was a thing?
Flynn's here.
Hey, Flynn.
Hi, Flynn.
Hello.
What are your thoughts?
You got any, Flynn?
Flynn, you there?
Come in, Flynn.
Yeah, hello.
Did you want to talk to us about cameras in the Airbnb?
Hey, Flynn, are you in like Flynn?
Yeah, so there were two cameras in the Airbnb that we found.
Your Airbnb?
Yep.
No way.
Whereabouts was this?
This was in Tahiti in French Polynesia.
Right.
And did they disclose that there would be cameras in there
or they didn't tell you?
No, they didn't say anything.
And did you get up to some freaky stuff, Flynn, on those cameras?
Flynn, how old are you?
I'm 14.
Okay, conversation over.
It was lovely to talk to you Flynn
I can't believe you're asking those questions
To a 14 year old
Why did you put Flynn on the radio?
Flynn sounds like an older name
Miriam
Kia ora Miriam
Hi Miriam
Hi
Save this for us Miriam
No Miriam how old are you?
I'm 22
Alright you're welcome to the show
He's old enough
What's happened to you, Miriam?
What's your thoughts on this?
So there was a group of us that went up to Nelson
and there was like two of us in the house
and the guy lived there.
That was like their full-time house
and they just moved out when people rented it out.
Yeah, okay.
And so they said,
we're going to be in the area
but just give us the tips or whatever if you need anything,
we can come around.
But other than that, like, you guys just have it.
That's pretty common.
Yeah, and so we got there, and then we, like, just turned around,
and then we probably did maybe 45 minutes,
and then the guy had texted us and was like,
hey, like, glad you guys got here.
All good, and settle in, let me know if you need anything.
And we were like, how?
We didn't even tell them we'd got there yet.
Yeah, how'd you know?
Yeah, we're like, how'd you know?
And so he obviously, like, looked through his camera.
And we ended up just, like, chilling on the outside table or something.
And then, yeah, so we picked him.
We're like, oh, yeah, that's, like, that's all good.
Thanks for letting us, like, stay or something good. Thanks for letting us stay or something.
But we felt really creeped out.
That's so creepy, Miriam.
Yeah.
Well, first of all.
It would kill the buzz for the rest of the weekend
because you would feel like you're being supervised.
Yeah, it would.
Yeah, it would.
The owner's there watching you all the time.
But I get it.
If he's an old fella and he's just renting his,
he's probably just gone.
Do you get it, though? No, no, no... He's probably just gone... Do you get it though?
No, no, no.
He's probably just gone next door
to the neighbour's house
to sleep in the sleep out
so he can get some income
from his house.
Yeah, but there's no need
for him to check in.
Like if he heard like some commotion
like there was a party,
I'd get it.
Yeah, yeah.
They just got there.
Yeah.
Why is he connecting to the camera?
You know what you should do?
You should do like a satanic ritual
in the lounge
and like get out a Ouija board
and cover the table in goat's blood
or something that looks like goat's blood
and see how long it takes for him to text or show up.
Sounds like a lot of work.
Yeah, I know, but prank life, baby.
And George, finally.
G'day, George.
Hi, George.
Hey, there, guys.
You said you found a camera in your Airbnb.
Yeah, so we were down in Christchurch for the weekend
and there was one at the front door as well as one out the back.
And we actually didn't know either, like you, Bree, that you couldn't have them.
So we had to look it up and we got a full refund for ours
because they didn't disclose it.
Wow.
Even though they were outside, you were still peeved off
even though they were outside?
Had to be on the best behaviour.
Yeah, it's...
Not inside.
And I've just come up with the foolproof plan.
If you do want to get freaky inside, just turn the lights off.
No, I don't.
Oh, infrared.
Yeah.
We've got one in Tui's nursery and they're just as clear in the dark as they are.
Oh, you do.
You seem to know a lot about these cameras.
All right.
Good to talk to you, George.
Thanks, George.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for calling up, brother.
Oh, and dial Zedim if you want to play Birthday Banger.
Remember that time you asked the 14-year-old,
what were you doing getting freaky?
Bree and Clint.
Time for Birthday Banger.

All right.
You were 16 in 2003 on the 8th of April.
And back in the earlier 2000s, this was number one.
You can find me in the club.
He was so good at Friday Jams Live.
And your birthday banger is the original 50 Cent song.
Are you happy with that, Elise?
That song was massive.
Oh, it's all right, yeah.
Do you like Mr Saxo beat better?
What's that, sorry?
The song before yours, do you like it better?
Oh, nah, my one's better.
Yeah, it's a pretty big hit.
She's a hard nose to peck, Elise.
James is here.
Hi, James.
Hi, James.
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
What's your birthday, James?
18th of February, 2000.
All right.
You were 16 in 2016 on the 18th of Feb,
and not that long ago, this topped the charts.
So we'll piss off the neighbours In the place that feels the tears The place you lose your... and not that long ago, this topped the charts.
What are the chances?
What a song.
Brie was just saying before that she loves this Zayn song.
I do love this song.
Is this the Fifty Shades song?
Yes.
From the Fifty Shades of Grey Suntrip, right?
Yeah.
James, are you a Zayn Malik fan?
Oh, nah, not really, no.
I think I just like that song so much because I was hooking up with someone really hot at the time.
Does it remind you of a moment in your life?
Yeah, we had a lot of good moments.
Okay, well, remove yourself from the song
and think what is going to make the best birthday banger today.
Ooh, it's...
Can you play me a little bit of Mr Saxo beat?
Yeah, I can play you a little bit of Mr Saxo beat.
It sounds a lot like this.
I think that's me.
I think that's my vote.
I think it is.
I think it's good too.
I think that's good.
Logan, we're going to give you the win for our birthday banger today.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
No worries.
Let's go.
Yeah, this was the right decision.
We should have loaded it up from the bit where it says Mr. Saxo beat.
Would have been, like, smart, wouldn't it?
This is the winner of birthday banger for Logan.
Bree and Clint, it is. It is. Thank you. ស្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប It's a psycho beat It's a psycho beat

from 2011
the winner of Birthday Banger
for Logan today
Mr Saxo Beat
by Alexandra Stan
this is the Yolanda B. Cole song
I was thinking of
we know
yeah yeah
we know Speak Americano
there's a weird time in the 2010s
Yeah
This is kind of what all songs sounded like
Sounded like
Right?
And then we had the other one
That I've tried to imitate on this show before
What's the other one you're talking about?
The one where they all do that dance to it
Oh, not this again What's the other one you're talking about? The one where they all do that dance to it.
Oh, not this again.
You mean the Harlem Shake?
Yes.
Oh.
Sounds similar to this.
Oh, this is a tune, actually.
This is a tune.
This one wins soon.
Here's a question for you, and I want you to,
you'll have a number in your head that'll come to mind.
What age would you like to live to?
Oh, I'm going to say around 90.
You want to get to 90?
You don't want to get to triple figures?
No, I don't want to be, no.
You don't want a letter from the Queen?
Well, by then it won't be the Queen. Well, it'll be.
She'll be dead.
Oh, that's inferred, mate.
You don't need to say it out loud.
Oh, what, do you think she's going to live? No, I don't think she's going to live, but I know she will have passed away, but you don't need to say it out loud Oh what do you think she's going to live
No I don't think she's going to live
But I know she will have passed away
But you don't need to be like
She'll be dead
That's life
She's having a rough week okay
She's having a bit of a rough one
She's having a rough year actually
How old would you want to live to
I'd like to do a 150
150
You'll be playing hacky sack
With something that's not a hacky sack.
So, oh, that's a good point.
No, I'm serious.
Can you imagine?
Which is why this story is so terrifying.
So scientists have discovered what is called a double mutant technique.
Right.
Which, when applied to worms, makes them live five times longer than they usually
do.
But they don't live very long, do they?
No.
So the worms that they tested it on generally live for two weeks, and then they mutated
this gene, and then they were living for 10 weeks.
Wow.
So that's a five-fold increase in their lifespan.
And you go, yeah, but Clint, I'm not a worm.
That's where it gets interesting.
The two pathways on which these gene mutations sit
are also present in human beings.
So they believe that by mutating this thing within human beings,
we could increase our lifespan as a race to between 400 and 500 years.
No, thank you.
What, does that mean we would Benjamin Button?
This is where it gets interesting, eh?
Because forget about the fact that all your friends and family,
like, oh, I guess if they're living that long too, then...
Like, wait, this is my question.
Yeah.
Do we age normally like we do and just get older and older
or do we stay younger for longer, which I mean I might be keen for that.
Because you see those articles on the news and they go,
Angie is celebrating her 109th birthday and you're like,
good on you, Angie, but crikey, your best appearance days are behind you, right?
Yeah, and you know what?
It's so crazy.
The best over 100-year-old I've ever seen was this woman
who was at my nonna's nursing home.
Yeah.
And she was 106.
She looked about 85.
Yeah.
She was sharp as a tack.
She didn't look a day over 90.
She didn't look a day over 85.
Yeah.
You know what she was doing?
They would come into her room at the nursing home to give her her tablets. Yeah. That would make her a little bit drowsy. Yeah. You know what she was doing? They would come into her room at the nursing home to give her her tablets.
Yeah.
That would make her a little bit drowsy.
Yeah.
And she would put them under her tongue and then she would walk into her neighbour's room
and she would drug her neighbour.
That's not okay.
Because she didn't like it.
Okay, okay.
I'm saying that's how sharp she was.
Let's look at, yeah, okay.
Let's look at 100-year-olds doing that currently.
Yeah.
Times that by four.
Like what are 400-year-olds going to be getting up to?
My only thing is it might make you live a bit safer.
Like if you go, shit, I'm only 25.
I've got 475 years to go.
I'm not going to speed.
And then you go, man, I've got a lot of life left ahead of me.
I've got a lot to do.
Yeah.
I just picture like I turned 30 recently, right?
Yes.
And I looked in the mirror and I thought to myself,
oh, well, those two things on my chest don't look how they used to.
And then I'm picturing them at 450.
After you've had, because what does it do for fertility too?
By that stage, you've probably had 89 kids.
All the life will be gone out of many places.
It's not viable.
I'm not keen to croak it, but like we're not meant to be here forever.
The planet is meant to repopulate itself at some stage.
Yeah, my body's telling me that already.
I'm tired.
So if scientists in New Zealand are looking into it, just keep that
stuff in mind, alright?
There's going to be some serious improvement in underwear
and bra technology before then if that's the case.
More support.
Brie and Clint.
This is interesting specifically to you, Brie,
our resident Australian.
Because there is news out
about a possible migrant
coming from Australia, the lucky country.
Those bloody migrants.
To New Zealand, the good country.
You know?
Something that you did two years ago now?
Yes.
You've been here for two years?
I've been an expat for two years.
So you'll be able to offer these migrants some advice on what to expect.
Fairly famous too. People have suggested that in light of the Australian bushfires
that koalas should move to New Zealand.
Why would you get that sound of the koala?
Because that's what koalas sound like.
That's a koala mating.
Is it?
Yes.
Bloody Kiwis, I tell you.
How do you know?
Oh, trust me, I know.
You play it again, you can hear it in the voice.
Just like a male.
That's the man making the noise?
That's the man, yeah.
What does the woman one sound like? It kind of sounds like a motor That's the man making the noise? That's the man, yeah What does the woman one sound like?
It kind of sounds like a motorbike at the end So obviously there has been mass devastation of their homes
Koalas in Australia
And 8,000 New Zealanders
8,000 well-meaning New Zealanders
Have suggested that we get koalas
That are in Australia and now have nowhere to live And bring them to New Zealanders, have suggested that we get koalas that are in Australia and now have nowhere to live and bring them to New Zealand.
Apparently, in the central North Island,
there is 28,500 hectares of eucalyptus trees.
Is there?
Yeah.
And they're going, whack koalas up there.
Wait, so you guys have eucalyptus trees here?
According to this, yeah.
Because that's all they eat.
They don't eat anything else.
Yeah.
Issue is...
Yeah, what's the issue?
We don't have a great record with introduced species in New Zealand.
But can I say the possum technically, was that a native to Australia?
Yeah, it was imported.
In 1850, they brought in possums to New Zealand as a source of food
and so that we could hunt their fur pellets.
Pelts, sorry.
I thought it was for the fur coat trade.
Yeah, fur pelts.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said fur pellets.
I didn't mean that.
Sounded like food.
And what did they do?
They ate all of our birds.
Yeah, damn those possums.
I'm not saying that's what koalas would do.
Well, possum, I mean, koalas aren't carnivorous.
I'm just looking at where they're looking at introducing them, though.
Central North Island.
Producer Ellie, you would know this because you lived there.
Is Hamilton considered Central North Island?
Oh, actually, I don't think it is. It's the Waikato Central North Island.
She was drunk the whole time she lived there.
I don't remember.
Because I just mean koalas notorious for carrying chlamydia.
Oh, yeah, no.
It might be a good assimilation.
It might be a good addition to the gene pool in the Waikato.
Now be nice
You
Be nice
You get home from your flat
You've been out at the Outback all night
And you get home to your flat with a bag of McDonald's
And you walk past your flatmate's room
And all you hear is
Joel Who have you got in there Joel!
Who have you got in there?
This time yesterday, we told you about a new candle
that was being released by Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gwyneth, is she smoking the old hooter?
She broke the internet yesterday with a candle
that she said smells like her.
I don't know.
Why would she do that?
Like, there's nothing wrong with that, but, like, it is very, I guess.
I just don't know what, from a marketing perspective,
I don't know what brand Gwyneth is anymore.
Because she's Pepper Potts on the Avengers,
and then she also is Chris Martin's ex-wife,
and then she's Veg Candle Lady.
Yeah, like, do you think when she was coming up with the scent, she's like, okay, vanilla's been done. And then she's Vag candle lady Yeah like Do you think when She was coming up
With the scent
She's like okay
Vanilla's been done
VVV
Sandalwood's been done
You know what
Hasn't been done
I don't know
There's a reason
For that Gwyneth
It started something
Because they sold out
On her group website
In two hours
So obviously
There's a market
For this kind of thing
And comedian
Adam Ray
Who I don't know Did a a post about it, though,
and tagged The Rock in it and said, if she's doing candles,
then you need to do a rock candle.
Why The Rock?
Maybe because of his tagline.
Maybe because he's –
I remember the tagline.
Maybe because he's...
I don't know if that's particularly why,
but he just said,
time to get at the rock to sell candles that smell like his balls.
I don't know which one I'd rather.
Like if I walked into a shop and went,
sweaty balls.
You can have both for different rooms of the house.
Or, you know, prepped.
Or different moods.
The Rock has responded, and he said,
Brother, I tried to make those candles,
but I kept burning my balls.
So I moved on to shampoo.
Hashtag sent off sack.
Oh.
I don't think his one is real, but if the rock was to release a shampoo.
Would you get it?
That smelled like his.
He doesn't even have hair.
No, I think that's part of the joke.
Oh, right.
Got it.
Bree and Clint. I want to tell you about a story that happened to me over the holiday break.
It involves my mum and my auntie Sheryl,
which is my mum's older sister. So a little bit of background, if you haven't heard much
about Sheryl or my mother, massive, massive sporting fans. They love it. Any type of sport,
Sheryl, mumma die, they love it, sitting down with the cuppa. They just get into it.
You're not joking either, eh?
I'm not joking either.
Like the biggest sport for them though, and my auntie Cheryl included,
is the state of origin.
They love rugby league.
They love rugby league.
And obviously we're from Queensland.
Who does your mum want you to marry?
Cameron Smith.
Cameron Smith, yeah, from the Melbourne Storm.
He's already married.
Yeah.
Anyway, huge, huge Maroons fans.
Like, they're avid supporters.
And you remember, it was probably last year,
I secretly recorded my mum and my dad actually watching The State of Origin.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, for goodness sake.
The referee's arseholes.
Just arseholes. Oh, my. What. The referee's arseholes. Just arseholes.
Oh, my God.
What happened?
Did you find the whistle?
Did you?
She can't...
Are you serious?
Let go of him.
Let go, you idiot.
Oh, my God.
Oh, shut up, dude.
Keep it to him.
Yeah.
Stand on him.
Don't let him up.
Get off him.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I was sitting there.
My mum and dad have built this new house and they've kind of got a media room
that's kind of down the hallway.
And I was sitting in the kitchen and all of a sudden I hear my Aunty Cheryl
and my mum kind of similar to that.
Oh, get off him.
Oh, what is this?
This is crap!
Absolutely just going berserk at the TV.
And I thought to myself, I was like,
it sounds like they're watching State of Origin.
Yeah.
Like that's what it sounds like.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I've walked down the hall and lo and behold,
the television on one of the TV channels is playing an old State of Origin game.
Oh, they're watching old matches.
They already know the outcome.
They're watching a game from 1983, I think it was.
So old you could barely see the players.
It was so pixelated.
I'm not joking.
They had the biggest yell at the TV and they could not.
They were like, this is bull.
Why are they going to the video rep?
They're losing their minds.
And I was like, mum, Aunty Cheryl, this game is more than 20 years old.
Nothing you say is going to affect what happened.
I couldn't believe it.
I love it, though.
If you get that excited about old games,
then you'd never have to pay for any kind of subscription
to any kind of sports service because you just go on YouTube
and watch old matches.
You wouldn't have to pay.
And you know what else?
You could only watch the games that you knew that they won.
Yeah, even better.
That's it.
Some very alarming statistics coming out of the UK,
especially, well, only for the males.
Okay.
So you and Producer Ben probably should be listening to these stats.
All right, get involved, Ben.
This is important, alarming information for us.
And this is from a legit source.
It says the National Health Service has revealed the number of people
that were treated for a fractured penis last year.
Ooh.
I didn't know that you could fracture it.
Because as stupid as this sounds, it doesn't have any bones.
Sometimes it's a bone.
No, but it's not.
No, it's not.
It's a bone. No, it's still not. It's a Ken, you Ken. No, it's still not.
It's just a... Fake bone.
Yeah, true. There technically isn't
any actual bone
in there, is there? No. And it's not a bone.
It's a nerve. Well, do you want
me to read it? It's like a bonette.
Nice. I don't want to read out
the actual description of what it is
because it's quite graphic. You don't want to trigger Ben and I, right? I don't want to read out the actual description of what it is because it's quite graphic.
You don't want to trigger Ben and I, right?
I don't want to trigger you guys.
And trust me, you definitely don't want to be doing this
or finding yourself in this situation.
Oh, thanks for letting us know that.
Yeah, just in case you were thinking, oh, I might want to try that.
Oh, that sounds like something I want to do in 2020. There's been an increase of 38% of men in the UK compared to 2015
of people who've done this last year.
Yeah, that's drastic.
That's a huge increase.
Can I hazard a guess?
Does it say why?
Well, it says...
Can I have a guess at why?
Yeah, go on. I believe that porn culture means that people's idea
of what sex should look like has been a bit distorted.
And so people are trying to do the stuff they see in porn videos
and you've got these guys coming at it from upside down
and Spider-Man hanging from the roof and stuff.
Flip into it.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly right. You know roof and stuff. Backflip into it. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly right.
You know, he goes, oh, I saw it.
Like Tony Hawk style drop in from a half pipe.
Yeah.
And forgetting what that does to your partner,
like it's not made to do that.
Exactly.
Am I anywhere close?
It's not Superman.
They actually reckon it is linked to that because they say the most common men to go through a fracture in that area.
So get ready for this, guys.
Yeah, Marina.
From the ages.
I can drumroll, yeah.
The most common people to fracture their wenga are...
Between 30 and 40.
So Clint, that is you.
It's true.
Try something new in the bedroom after that long.
You're not as limber as you used to be.
And if it is a fracture, like,
is it an age where you start losing bone density?
No, that's already happening by itself.
Right, okay.
Well, I will take it easy from here on out.
To be honest, I'm at no risk of fracturing myself at the moment
But that's another story for another day
