You rolling? What can we talk- oh, I had something to talk about here. Oh, yep. Hello everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. We've figured out that this is like our opportunity to talk about things that we probably couldn't talk about on this show. Ooh, someone's got an infection and they want to share it with the podcasters. So tell us about your infection. Not my infection.

You win. Ooh, I've got something I need to talk about just before we started this. Nah, not infection-wise. Oh, okay. Well, what something I need to talk about Just before we started this Nah Not infection wise Oh Okay well what do you want to talk about I wanted to talk about One of my friends told me They came up with this theory

So one of my friends travels for work And this is back home in Aussie And they go all over the country They told me That they have They call them representatives Around the country Where they hook up with people in different states.

They have one person in each state. They've got booty calls. Yeah. I think Ludacris said it best when he said, they've got hoes in different area codes. Right, so this is just a different term for that. What do they call them? Representatives.

Okay, that's a business term. That's what you call them if you want, when you take them out to dinner, you want to be able to charge it back to the company. You say, well, I met with my Queensland representative and we had a very, very long meeting. Can I say they drive a hard bargain? Very hard. Why do you always do the creepy voice? As soon as we do this thing for the podcast it's always creepy voice. No, you just creeped out more because I've got this moustache now. It's starting to go down over your lip.

Yeah, it's getting wispy. I don't know where to stop. I've never had this before. It's a wild journey and I don't know where it's going to end. Can you please cut it into a real weird shape? I've got to be a best man at a wedding in two weeks and I don't know What to do

Because this is me now This is the new me It's a part of you But when he recruited me To be a part of the groomsmen party He didn't think He wasn't signing up for that I didn't look like this

Yeah that's true So I don't know I don't know I won't be swayed though I can't like Like Miley I can't be tamed

So I will do what feels right for me. Stay true to myself. Kia kaha. Stand tall. Do what you've got to do to survive. Until I see no changes. I can't believe you just quoted Miley Cyrus.

Here's the podcast. Let's start the podcast. Zed-in. Let's go. Now let me see you dance. Zed-ins. Brie and Clint. God, is it time for another holiday yet? Not yet, mate.

Is it time for a weekend yet? Close. Close? Very close. Close enough that you can be excused for having a beer on the job? Sure, why not? All right. It's New Zealand.

Any job? Like what if I'm driving a tractor today? Probably not. What if I'm driving a digger? Probably not. What if I'm driving a digger? Probably not. What if I'm a doctor? That's fine. What if I'm a doctor and I'm on strike?

Even better. Even better. Okay. Afternoon, everybody. Great to be here. What have we got on the show today? Today, I've got a mystery smell in my life that I want to talk about later on. You know when your life is plagued by a mystery smell?

There's a scent in your life that you can't quite pinpoint? Happens quite a lot in cars. Yeah, it happened to me a couple of months ago when I had that four-month-old avocado sitting in my boot. I didn't know that that ponged. Oh, it reeked. Well, I have had a mystery smell in my life, a secret smell for a while now,

and I've finally found out what it is. Oh, isn't that a good feeling when you find out? You're going to be, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to. Is it gross? Is it cat poo again? You're going to cat pee again when I tell you. If it's cat poo again, I think you need to get rid of the cats. Wow, that seems very drastic.

I'm just joking. Just get rid of the one that's doing the pooing. Next though, I have a brand new theory on gyms. Whether you go to them, whether you have a membership and don't go to them, whether you drive past them and laugh at the people inside them, I think I've finally figured out their business model, why they're so successful, what every single gym needs to survive. Right.

You know those moments in life where you go, oh my God, I've just seen the Matrix. I think I've seen the Matrix. They'll keep surviving because the New Year's keep rolling around and people keep making resolutions. That's a big part of it. But I know now why gyms are successful all year round. And I'll tell you exactly what that is next.

Bree and Clint ZM. You know when you figure out how something works and it's like a light bulb moment and you understand that's how those bastards did it. Like when you realise that Apple only changed the charges on their phones so they can sell more charges and phones. That's exactly it. Like when they took the headphone jack off, it was just so they could sell ear pods.

Exactly right. I've figured out how gyms work. I know how gyms operate and make money. They make people feel bad about themselves, so then they want to go to the gym? Not all of them. Not all of them. Some of them make you feel good,

and that's why you keep going. My gym, positive place. It's great. I love going. But every time I'm in there, there's something that I can see out the window of my gym that just takes my attention the whole time,

and I can't not focus on it. That thing outside my gym window is a Burger King. Yeah, I saw this on your Instagram last night. From every workout room on every floor of my gym, I can see Burger King. This is what I've figured out. My theory is that a gym cannot exist without a fast food restaurant near it

to keep attendance at the gym high. And it's a symbiotic relationship, okay? It benefits the fast food place too because the fast food place can't exist without gym people who have got some gains and they go, man, I've done well this week. Cheat day. And then they go to the fast food place

and then they feel gross about themselves. They feel like they undid all their gains. So what do they do? They go back to the gym. So they work together. Boom. Figured it out. But is every gym got a fast food place out front?

Yes. I'm going to go on record now and say every gym has a fast food. You just haven't noticed it yet. You haven't noticed it. Because I put this on Instagram last night. I did it side byside standing outside my gym and then pan to the Burger King and then back to the gym.

You could, like, there's about 10 steps between them. Put it on Instagram. This from Marion Rodwell. My gym is opposite a Burger King and a cemetery. So when you eat BK, your choices are either work out or die. See, that's genius. That is next level.

Great marketing. From Emma Phillips. My gym is opposite a, that's genius. That is next level. Great marketing. From Emma Phillips, my gym is opposite a Domino's pizza, so all I smell at the gym is garlic bread. There's nothing more powerful than garlic bread. And what do you feel like you've earned after a gym session? Garlic bread. Garlic bread. This from Emma Holland. This is brutal. I have an Indian, I assume restaurant, not person. I have an Indian, a burger fuel, a subway, a Peter Pit, a McDonald's and a KFC within meters of my gym. Where does she go to the gym? Obviously in the city somewhere. I don't know. It sounds like a magical place to be, but.

Can you imagine the people who are obviously finding spots to make a gym do you think that they look for those spots when they're actually looking to rent a spot out i think they do and i think that no one has ever figured it out until this moment yeah until i've cracked the code what about this gym that's across the road from our work what's near that right there yeah uh it's across the road from a subway a peter, a dumpling place that's opening up. Peter Pit doesn't count. Peter Pit, nope. That's good for you, isn't it?

Does it not? Yeah. Well, either way, there's a dumpling restaurant, two pubs. There's a tank. A Subway. Tank juice, yep. They don't count. So you can alternate.

Yeah. This is my question for you this afternoon. What's outside your gym? Maybe you've just figured this out like me Maybe you've known for a bit Maybe there's a Krispy Kreme stand Right outside Now that's where I draw the line

That's horrible 0800 dial ZM Let's blow this conspiracy theory Wide open together Let's crack the case You just need to tell us What is outside your gym. I can just picture all the gym owners going,

shut up. Shut up. Shut the hell up. We've got a good thing going on here. 0800 dials anymore. Text us on 9696. Brianne Clint. Speaking of blowing things up,

we are blowing up a conspiracy theory. We're not even a conspiracy theory. We've figured out how gyms work here on the show. We're starting a conspiracy theory. Oh, yeah, that's what. We've figured out how gyms work here on the show. We're starting a conspiracy theory. Oh, yeah, that's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. I believe a gym cannot exist without a fast food restaurant directly outside it.

Mind blown. Makes the world go round, right? I've just had another message come through. This is in my Instagram DMs from Chase Polro. He said, Bruv. That's how we talk. Sounds so natural when you talk like that.

I can talk like that. It's when I'm street, when I'm outdoors. Try and do a street voice then. Bruv, I didn't. Oh, no. That's racist. Just do it in your normal voice. Bruv, I didn't even realise this until you said it, but my gym is across the road from a BK and a Macca's.

Then 100 metres down the road is a KFC. Mate, you're an absolute genius. Mind blown! We want to know this afternoon, what's outside your gym? 0800 dial ZM. First up, Sean. Hello, mate. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks.

What's outside your gym? Well, I've got three gyms literally within five minutes of each other. My closest one happens to have Domino's Pizza right next door. Delicious. I've got the new cheesy garlic bread crust coming this month. They do, they do. And you know that there'll be a poster inside your gym toilets the day that it comes out. Yeah, Sean, what else you got, mate?

Second gym is right next to a liquor shop and the third one is right across the road from Wendy's. There you go. I'm telling you. The liquor store's my favourite because how good's working out when you're intoxicated? Very dangerous. Hi, Brittany. Hi. What's outside your gym?

You know what, I don't mean to kind of like stuff up your conspiracy but there's no fast food restaurant. No, there is. You just haven't looked hard enough. Is there a servo? I don't mean to kind of like stuff up your conspiracy, but there's no fast food restaurants. No, there is. You just haven't looked hard enough. Is there a servo? I just Googled it to double check, and there is none. Where is this magical gym?

In the desert? No, it's in Napier. Oh, same thing. Maybe that's why, because we haven't got fast food restaurants at all. But, you know. You'll get them. As soon as you guys get a McDonald's, I'll tell you where it's going. Right across the road from your gym.

I would really appreciate that. Boom. Thanks, Brittany. Conspiracy Theory stands. Hi, Kim. Hello, Kim. Hello. What's outside your gym?

One side of the gym is a bakery. This is a 24-hour gym, too. One side's a bakery. The other side is a 24-7 super-8, and across the road is McDonald's, open 24 hours. How brilliant are those businesses putting it outside that gym? Well, you see the mums in the morning going in to get fit.

They've dropped their kids off at daycare and stuff. And then with their barista coffee that they have to have when they've worked out, they also get a side of hotcakes and hash browns. And Kim, because they've earned it. They also get a side of hotcakes and hash browns. And Kim, because they've earned it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. And don't let me body shame or food shame anybody in this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Oh, I've never worked out for any other reason other than wanting to eat bad food. Me too. Me too. And me. That's your reward. Okay, thanks, Kim. Let's get one more. Let's keep blowing this thing open.

Hi, Angie. Hi, Angie. Hi. What's outside your gym? Two takeaways. That's your reward Okay thanks Kim Let's get one more Let's keep blowing this thing open Hi Angie Hi Angie Hi What's outside your gym? Two takeaways A Wendy's KFC Burger King Burger Fuel

And that's all within like At least a K And then if you go to the left You've got Indian Kebab Takeaways Burger Fuel Domino's

Let's just say Angie People are working bloody hard at your gym I didn't even think about it until You were on air before and I was like oh my god Did I just connect the dots for you did I? Yeah majorly Well you're welcome

The more you know the more you grow Like literally the more you grow Literally There you go New Zealand that's how the world works Not outside my gym though Why? Because I don't have one There you go, New Zealand. That's how the world works. Not outside my gym, though. Why? Because I don't have one. There you go.

That's the only reason. Everything's outside your gym door if you've got Uber Eats, too. Welcome to the show, producer Ben. Hi, guys. Ben. Yeah, how you going? At the end of last year, we had a discussion about Christmas presents, and I said gift cards are the worst gift you can give someone.

And I still strongly disagree. As someone who received a Bunnings gift card from my mum and dad for Christmas, loved it. Loved it. Absolutely loved it. Did you? Yep. Did you say that?

Yeah, I did love it. I do love it. Didn't you say, I would have rathered it at this other place, but, you know. No. No, Bunnings is good. Where else would I want to go? I don't know. I feel like you said that to me the other day. I haven't seen you for a month. Anyway,

Producer Ben, you've received some gift cards over Christmas. A few for Christmas. One in particular I do not want. Oh, this is ungrateful Christmas present chat too. Which just proves my theory right. I want the chance to prove you wrong because I don't think there is such thing as Christmas present chat too. Which just proves my theory right. I want the chance to prove you wrong because I don't think there is such thing

as a useless gift card. I think with a gift card, the world is your oyster. Yeah, right. Tell us the ones that you got and then tell us the one that you don't want last. So for our Christmas with our family, we only do stockings and we have little gifts in a stocking.

That's it. That's it. My sister and myself and that's it. Wait, what does a stocking exclude? Big gifts that you can't put in a stocking. That's it. That's it. My sister and myself and that's it. Wait, what does a stocking exclude? Big gifts that you can't put in a stocking. Oh, it can't fit in the stocking. If you can't get it in, you don't get it. You can get expensive things that are small.

This is a weird rule. That's my theory on a lot of things actually. Sorry, carry on. New Christmas. One of the things I got was a gift card for a photography place only in Christchurch. And you live in Auckland? And I live in Auckland.

Oh, God. Great idea because I used to and sort of do dabble a little bit in photography. But I mean, I was only there for another three days. When you say a photography place, do you mean like somewhere where you go and get glamour shots done? Or do you mean like where you buy? No, like a photo. Think of it like a photo warehouse or something.

Like a pixie photo. Yeah. No glamour shots done? Or do you mean like where you buy... No, like a photo... Think of it like a photo warehouse or something. Like a pixie photo. Yeah. No glamour shots. Just Ben in a leather jacket with nothing else. Just Ben sitting inside a hollowed out pumpkin with no shirt on.

With the pumpkin bit on top of his head. Can we please do that photo shoot? Anyway. What's the other gift card? The other one's fine. It was Bunnings. Oh, great gift card.

Which is fine. Great gift card. I just... So how much was the gift card for? fine i just i don't know how much was the gift card for 20 you can still use a standby you can still use it but like for me if i was gonna go use it at a camera place i'd love a new lens i love i love that they gave him a gift card for 20 and not anything in the store would be 20 you might be able to get like a little lens brush to brush your... Hang on, I've got another theory on this.

Because I maintain no gift card purchased for somebody is useless. Who did you get it from? I'm not going to say that. No, say it. No, I'm not going to say it. Say it. I know who you got it from. No.

You got it from your sister's fiance. No, I didn't actually. You got it from your sister who just got engaged. Irrelevant. Who I got it from. They've given you... They've just got engaged. Theyrelevant. Who I got it from. They've given you, they've just got engaged, they've booked a photographer for their wedding,

they've got the voucher as a freebie for booking the photography through there, and they've given you the freebie. Is it a free one? No, I don't think so. It better not be. I think they've given you a freebie. Why would they book it?

Nah, they would never book a photographer. So you don't want this gift card? I mean, I can't use it unless we go back down to Christchurch and I have to use it that day. I thought we had a great price to give away here. We don't. We didn't know what it was. We've got a $20 gift card.

Oh, so now you're saying it's not a great prize. Is that what you're saying, Clint? You're saying gift cards aren't good. Is that what you're saying? No, I'll never say that. But I've noticed there is no one ringing. If you're in Christchurch right now and you would like a gift card to a photography place,

0800-DIAL-ZM, we're going to give away this gift card. No, no, it's a $20 gift card. Oh, what did I say? No, you just said it was a gift card. I think it's important that you point out that it's $20. Yeah, good point. Hi, Matt.

How are you? You want it? I don't actually live in Christchurch. I was just going to back you up and say gift cards are the greatest thing ever. Oh, no. Thanks, Matt. How are you? You want it? I don't actually live in Christchurch. I was just going to back you up and say gift cards are the greatest thing ever. Oh, no. Thanks, Matt. No. They are so the best thing ever in the world.

You just give someone something, they go and do what they want instead of getting your shitty present. Yeah, keys to the world, baby. Money's just as good. No, money's rude. Thanks, Matt. Hayden is in Christchurch. Hayden, you keen on this gift card?

I am, actually. It's yours, Hayden. Not useless. Gift cards are fantastic. Hayden, do you even like photography? Or what type of Photoshop is it? Like, can I get photos printed out? Yeah.

Big ones? Yeah, probably not for 20 bucks, but yeah. Bree and Clint. A survey has been done of 1, but yeah. Bree and Clint. A survey has been done of a thousand Australians. They've been asked standard high school questions to find out if they're as smart

as high schoolers. A staggering 38%. Only 38% were able to answer enough of the questions to be deemed as smart as a high school student. So today,

we test our resident Australian, Bree Thomas-El. In a game we're calling, Is Bree Smarter Than A High Schooler? I'm going to say no straight away. Welcome to the show, our resident high schooler for the day, Jesse. Kia ora. Hello. Hi.

What high school do you go to? I go to Hagley High School. There you go. Oh, he stumbled on that, can I say? Jesse, how old are you? I am 14. 14. Oh, so you're...

You stumbled on that as well. Are you... Don't tell our high schooler. Jesse, you are... Who is this person that you've lined up? Are you year 10? Yeah, I'm year 10. Okay, cool.

I'm not buying it. I'm going to ask Bree some very standard high school questions. Jessie, you don't need to answer them, okay? We're just going to check after the question has been asked whether you knew the answer or not, okay? Okay. What? Well, I don't want Jessie to beat you, okay?

I want you to have a fair run at this. Jessie's fresh. Jessie's sharp. Jessie's studying every day. Jessie's probably been at summer school. I like how Jessie gets the benefit of the doubt, but not me. You run at this. Jessie's fresh. Jessie's sharp. Jessie's studying every day. Jessie's probably been at summer school. I like how Jessie gets the benefit of the doubt, but not me. You can do this.

Okay, you can do this. All right. Four very straightforward high school questions. Okay? Here we go. Is Bree smarter than a high schooler? Question number one. Pythagoras' theorem states that in any right triangle,

the sum of the squares of the lengths of the triangle's legs is the same as the square of the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. What is the formula for Pythagoras' theorem? I think... Ooh. So pi is 3.14. That might not have anything to do. I'm going to say it's A squared plus B squared equals C squared.

What the hell are you looking at? Where is the document? I'm not looking at anything. Did you just get that right? That's the only thing they taught us in Maths A, which is the dumb math back in Australia. Holy shit, you just got that right. Did I get it right? Yeah, you just got it right. That's the only thing they taught us in Mass A, which is the dumbass, back in Australia. Holy shit, you just got that right. Did I get it right? Yeah, you just got it right.

Jesse, did you know the answer to that one as well? Yeah, I did know the answer to that actually. Oh, sure you did, Jesse. Can I just get you to close your laptop? Question number two. What is Darwin's theory on the origin of species? Darwin's theory? Was origin of species. Darwin's theory?

Was it like when the little monkey thing turns into the big monkey? Oh, into the human? There's a name for it. I'm going to say... Natural selection? What the hell is going on? to say... Natural Selection. What the hell is going on? Well, you're picking the ones that they taught us in high school. Fantastic.

Cool. I didn't want to make you look dumb or anything. This is not what the point of the game was. Jessie, did you know the answer to that one as well? I did. I'm surprised she got that one. Yeah, well done. I can hear your friends laughing in the background. Question number three. What percentage of the earth...

Is that your... It's Jessie's mum. Yeah, it is my mum. She's just dropped me off somewhere. Question number three. What percentage of the earth is covered by water? Now, this is multi-choice. Is it A, 65%, B, 71%, C, 80%,

or D, 50%? C, 80%? Or D, 50%? I'm going to say 65. 65 is not correct. It's 71%. Did you know that one, Jessie? That's pretty close. Did you know that one, Jessie? Yeah, I did, actually.

Yeah, you did. Cool. Well, I actually rigged all those ones that I thought you'd get wrong. So the last question was, how long is the lunch hour? But I don't think we're going to ask that one now. Congratulations. I think two out of three is pretty good. I think you are as, if not as, smarter than a high schooler.

I'm just like 15 years older. Great. Bree and Clint. We need your help because we're about to tell you a story and then we need you to decide whether it's creepy or not because one side of the story is saying it's creepy. The other is saying it's not yeah okay get me yeah so essentially this girl was on a train she met this guy they talked for about five or ten minutes all he found out about her was her first and last name that's it he then managed to find her number Which we're about to read out the text conversation

That happened between them And then we want you to decide Whether this is creepy or not Alright So you're going to be the guy in the situation Oh let me guess I'm going to be the creep Yeah because

I mean you've got that moustache I will be the I've been typecast I will be the girl That's racist to people with mustache. In the text conversation. Cool, okay. Right, so here we go.

So I need to start it off because obviously I've gone and found your number. Yes. And you didn't give me this number. No, so you're texting me first. Here we go. Yo, it's me, Josh. Do I have an accent? You can if you want.

Cool, I'm going to be New York Italian. Yo, it's me, Josh from the train the other day. No, I'll just be Kiwi. Yo, it's me, Josh, from the train the other day. No, I'll just be Kiwi. Yo, it's me, Josh, from the train the other day. Got your number from one of your friends. Hope you don't mind. Hi, Ryan. Hiya.

To be honest, this is kind of creepy, lol. Which of my friends gave you my number? Wait, rewind. How did you find my friends? I searched you on Insta, and I found that you follow some people that I know, so I just asked about you. I'm not even being funny,

but don't you think it's less creepy to just follow me on Instagram instead of asking around for my number? Yeah, but you're not the type of girl I DM. I only DM girls I want to pipe. Oh, shit. Are we allowed to say that? Which I'm assuming what that means. I want to pipe. Oh, shit. Are we allowed to say that? Which I'm assuming what that means. I want to get to know you.

I'm not too sure what to say to that. But again, who gave you my number? I'll tell you Thursday, B. Thursday? Why not today? Because I'm taking you out. We can talk more then. Most definitely not. Why are you moving funny for? I just want to know you.

Because I'm not really flattered by this. It's weird and invasive and there is no way you can decide for me that I'm going out with you. If you want to know who gave me your number, then that's the condition. B. Take it or leave it. End of text conversation. End scene. Cool, I can come out of character. You really got into the character then. Now,

it's very easy, because I guess we're going to owe $800 at him, creepy or not creepy. Yes. So, very easy to say creepy. Do you want me to try and defend the guy? If you want to. Maybe it's romantic. Maybe,

maybe he thought he's coming with the element of surprise that he didn't want to, he didn't want to, he wanted to show this girl that he's got initiative and that he can,

he can, he can, he can do things for her. Like he can get anything. And he's great with social media because he found her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that possible? So what do we need to know?

He had a conversation with a girl on the train. All he found out was her name. He tracked her down on Instagram. He texted her when she didn't want to be texted. He then asked one friend they had in common for her number and then he texted her and told her that she was going out with him. Creepy or not creepy? 0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.

I'm really looking forward to someone arguing the not creepy line as well. So if you're up for that, you can call us as well. We're trying to decide whether the situation that's happened to this girl is creepy or not. She met a guy on the train.

They had a brief conversation, about 10 minutes. He found out her first and last name, and then he tracked her down on Instagram, figured out they have mutual friends, then asked those mutual friends for her number, and then started texting her. We recreated the whole text conversation. Sounds creepy when you read it out like that. Unsolicited text messages. He won't tell her how he got her number.

Unless she goes out on a date with him. And you've asked, is it creepy or not? And we are leaving the door open to whether it's romantic. It could be. It could be. It's all open to interpretation, right? There's actually a really good text message that says, I'd like to know the conversation that they had on the train.

Yep. Because I mean, that probably affects, you know, maybe she kind of, maybe they flirted. Hard on a train, though, to get away from a conversation you're not enjoying. That's very true. Because you can't go anywhere until you're stopped. You can't be like, oh, got to go because then you'll be in the wrong place. Yeah. 0800 dial ZM.

Christina, creepy or not? I don't think it's as creepy as probably people think it is. And why is that? Well, you know, social media is pretty big at the moment and how else are you going to kind of find people that you come across in situations where it's really brief? So, yeah, I think it's kind of brave of him. Maybe it was just he needed to tone it down a bit

but I think I see what you're saying I've done it before and I've had it done to me so I actually it was kind of laughable when it was done to me because I was like wow you really did some digging tell us about that what happened well they just go in contact and I was like I literally met you like seconds, briefly. How could you? I've got all my details but they pretty much had done the same thing. They just searched my name. Yeah, it's just too easy

and because it is too easy, what's the problem with it? Could be love at first sight. Could be a horrific stalker situation. You never know. You've got to go down that path to find out. Hi, Sade. Hey. What do you think, Sade?

Creepy or not? Oh, I think it's creepy. And why do you think so? Because, I mean, he had so many other opportunities to actually ask her directly for her number. He went to all the effort to look for her on Instagram and then he went through a friend and did a reference check to get her number. A reference check? Yeah, I guess he did. Yeah, and she was kind of clear

from the outset that she kind of wasn't interested and still carried on. She's been betrayed, I guess she's been betrayed by the mate who gave out her number as well, because she should have gone, hey, can I give you this guy your number? But then you don't know what contact he's gone to. Yeah.

I definitely ask before I give out my friends' numbers, especially to people that they may not know. Yeah, and especially the hot ones as well. That's interesting. He should have just added her on Instagram like she said. That's what she said, yeah. Hi, Grace. Hi.

What do you think, creepy or not? I think a little bit creepy, but I think we should give the guys some slack it's really hard to meet people and tinder is not the only way to meet people what about the bit where he was withholding the information because he said she said tell me who gave you my number and he goes i won't tell you unless you go on a date with me? I think he's just got really bad game and that he's just trying to be clever or playful or intriguing

or something and he's just doing a really bad job and it's coming across as creepy. I mean it's her prerogative to say no to the date. It's her prerogative to take herself off Instagram and not have people be able to find her. It's her prerogative to change her whole phone number

and where she lives and what train she catches to avoid them. But no, no, no, I do hear what you're saying, Grace. I get what you're saying too. Because, I mean, think about it back in the day. If you met someone and you didn't have the courage at the time to ask for their number, what would you do? That's why they wrote that song, Ricky, Don't Lose That Number. You would ask around people.

You would say, do you know this person? And eventually, pretty much the same thing. You have to put up those posters on the street. You would just call them up on the landline. Hi, Jess. Hi. What do you think, Jess? Creepy or not?

Oh, I think the friend owes an apology for giving out her number without contacting her first. Yeah. I'd like to know who it was. Well. I'd like to know who it was. Well, she'd like to know who it was too, but she can't find out unless she goes on a date with this guy. That's the problem. We haven't heard from any men yet.

We haven't heard from any guys. So the spokesman for the entire gender is you, Matt. What do you think, Matt? 100% creepy. What is he up to? What would you have done, Matt? Would you have handled it differently? I would have asked on the train.

Why not go there? Some people don't have the guts in person, though. Some people don't have the guts. Because maybe he knew that she would have said no. But he's gone through a lot of effort after that, didn't he? Yeah, he did, yeah. It's very easy behind a keyboard, though. Very, very easy. How did you meet your Mrs. Matt?? Yeah, he did, yeah. It's very easy behind a keyboard, though. Very, very easy.

How'd you meet your Mrs. Matt? At a wedding. Oh, yeah. That's a good place to meet someone. It's a great place. People are vulnerable.

They're drunk. They're intoxicated. They're thinking about their own wedding and going, man, why am I still single? And then all of a sudden, there's Matt.

Boom. There he is. Fantastic. Thanks, Matt. Thanks for your call, man. No worries. I think we're deciding well, we don't know. There he is. Fantastic. Thanks, Matt. Thanks for your call, man. No worries. I think we're deciding. Well, we don't know.

We still don't know. On the fence. Give it a go. Stalking. Give it a go. Bree and Clint. The other day, when we got back on Monday, we talked about your phone bill. Remember?

How could I forget? You don't really want to talk about this, do you? I don't want to talk about it anymore because I feel horrible and I'm in trouble. You went to Australia for a month, right? Were you there for, you were basically there for from the 15th till the almost, you were there for almost exactly a month. Yeah. You

didn't use your Australian SIM card. No. You didn't buy data roaming. You, by the looks of it, you barely used Wi-Fi. Do your parents have Wi-Fi at their house? No, they live in the country. There's no Wi-Fi?

No. Okay, there is. I did use it at my parents' house though, but I wasn't there for very long. You used 35 gig of data on global roaming. We called Spark to try and figure out how much that was that you used. So there was two different pretty much conclusions.

One, if I had to purchase the roaming packs, then it would have been one price. And if I had an of, it's going to be another price. You didn't purchase the roaming pack and she calculated your bill to be $1,750 for a month, which is mega. That's huge. Massive.

Today, we get an email from someone in the company who looks after these things. Very high up. Who says, no, no, that's not your bill. We've just received your bill. I'm excited to hear what this is. So there's a lot of information to get through. First of all, in the email, it says,

it's just stating that you managed to chew through 35 gigs of data. So we were right with 35 gig? Yes, that's right. Whilst roaming. And apparently that is an NZME record. That's the company we work for. Right. It says without roaming packs applied to my SIM card.

Wait, wait, this deserves a drum roll. Are we getting the amount? The cost is approximately $11,000. Shish kebab. Wait, wait. No, no way. No way. Wait, wait, everyone is in shock.

$11,000. Everyone settle down for a second. The email then goes on to say that apparently automatically roaming packs are applied to the phones when going to Australia. Thank goodness. So everyone relax for a second. So, okay. It then goes on to say, I managed to use an NZB record for the most packs ever used on global roaming.

And it still costs $680. Wow. One stat I do know is the Commonwealth Games one. Give us the Commonwealth Games statistic. It also says, you use 34 roaming packs. This beats any of the reporter's usage during last year's Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. To which Bree goes, yeah, but they're not making fire content like I am. They're literally reporting on the Commonwealth Games. I mean, what are they going to use it for? They're not

Instagramming. They don't have Snipchits. I feel horrible, okay, so can we not talk about it anymore? $11,000. Congratulations. That is honestly, seriously, standard of action. I've learnt my lesson. $11,000. The question remains, what the hell

were you looking at? Free and Clint. YouTube have come out and they've banned the latest craze. Well, is it the latest craze? What, 2009 challenge? Nah, not that one. No more, we don't care. Is that one over already? Yeah, I think it might be.

Was it a one-day craze? I think so. Yeah. No, no, not that one. And maybe they've banned this one before it gets too big for safety reasons. You know the movie that everyone watched on Netflix over summer? Bird Box? If you hear something in the water, you tell me.

Under no circumstance are you allowed to take off your blindfold? Sandra Bullock's Oh, I love Sandra Bullock's In the blindfold If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you But the premise is They have to wear blindfolds the whole time To survive

Exactly, because they can't see something Yeah, and they need to navigate the world Blindfolded There's a part in the movie where they have to drive cars and they can't see. The Bird Box Challenge that YouTube has banned is

uploading videos of you driving a car with a blindfold on. Right, I thought they were banning because I've seen people just doing walking around the house and stuff. Yeah. That's fine. If you're being safe, that's fine. But people are driving a car. This is the headline.

A teenager from Utah, US, decided to cover her eyes and drive a pickup truck. The latest police say in yet another online craze that seems to inspire reckless behavior. She drove a truck straight into another car, T-boned it, and she had a freaking blindfold on. How dumb are people?

Why would you do that? Because Bird Box Challenge, I guess. And you know why as well? You know who's done it? Who? Brother of Logan Paul, Jake Paul. No, producer Ellie. Look, she loves this song.

She quietly loves, she loves this song. She quietly loves this song. No. Ellie, as someone who loves Jake Paul, 10 gang. Team 10, mate. Team 10. Who the hell are flipping you?

Oh, my God. Would Jake Paul doing the Bird Box Challenge inspire you to do the Bird Box Challenge? Nah, probably not. I'm a bit smarter than that, yeah. Can you see where some Team 10ers, if he did it, would be inspired to do the bird box challenge? Nah, probably not. I'm a bit smarter than that, yeah. Can you see where some Team 10ers, if he did it, would be inspired to do it? Yeah, probably, definitely. No, there's a lot of young kids that follow him.

It's probably not too great. I can't believe this is the age that we live in, but I'm going to give this warning. We should start our own. Don't drive with a blindfold on, okay? Don't drive with a blindfold on. Okay? Don't drive with a blindfold on. I was actually, I did this challenge and I went to the toilet

blindfolded. Also, just as dangerous. Once upon a time there was a girl. She was smart. Debatable. Talented. Athletic.

Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. I read plots to movies. The first person to buzz in and get it correct takes the point. It's best of three. The rules have changed slightly.

Last year you won 19-4 by playing three different representatives of the people. This year you will take on one. So one person will represent the people. One person each week will represent the people. Okay. This week the honour goes to you

Sophia. Are you up to it? Yep. You're a movie nut. A little bit, yeah. You've heard this game before? Yeah. You've heard Bree. So you know I usually pants people, Sophia. I did go up against Bree last year, but...

And did you win? No. Not a good start. You should have said yes. Not a good start, Sophia. It was just a bit quicker than I was. It's all about swagger and confidence, okay? When you think you know it, you shout out your name, which is your buzzer. Sophia, okay, Sophia. It was just a bit quicker than I was. It's all about swagger and confidence, okay? When you think you know it,

you shout out your name, which is your buzzer. Sophia, okay? Sophia. And if one of us get it wrong, the other one gets to have a free guess, right? Free guess.

That's exactly how it works. Best of three, okay? Essentially first to two points. Movie plot number one. After the death of his father, a man returns to his home nation to take his rightful place as leader. Sophia.

Sophia. Black Panther. Black Panther is correct. Nice work. Well done. You're off to an excellent start, Sophia. I haven't seen it. Is it good?

You haven't seen Black Panther? I haven't seen it. No pressure. How are you quite of a movie buff when you haven't seen Black Panther? I haven't seen it. No pressure. How are you supposed to have a movie buff when you haven't seen Black Panther? I've seen enough. Okay. Movie number two.

Oh, no, I don't like this. You can win this here, Sophia. Movie number two. Once home to the most advanced civilization on Earth, this city is now ruled by a power-hungry king with a vast army at his disposal. Is it Aquaman? Aquaman is correct. Have you seen it?

Haven't seen it. Neither have I. It's very good. It's very good. I've heard it's very good. Tim Weta Haven't seen it. Neither have I. It's very good. It's very good. I've heard it's very good. Tim Weta-Morrison is in it. It's very good. Who dat?

Tim Weta-Morrison, once for Warriors, is a great New Zealand actor. Dr. Ropata. There's only one person we need to know who's in that movie. Who? You know the guy I'm talking about. Tim Weta-Morrison. Movie number three. This is tie-break, everybody, okay?

It's Sophia versus Bree. This will decide the winner, and this will get us off to the score for the new year. Okay. Movie number three this is tie break everybody okay it's Sophia versus Brie this will decide the winner and this will get us off to the score for the new year okay movie number three good luck Sophia

I'm rooting for you alright Rachel is happy to accompany her long time boyfriend to his best friend's wedding she's also surprised

to learn that her boyfriend's family is extremely wealthy and he's considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors Brie. Crazy Rich Asians. Crazy Rich Asians is absolutely correct. She is arguably New Zealand unbeatable. Well, I've won once, so I'm not going to say I'm unbeatable. But you did well, Sophia. Thank you. Sophia, did you know once, so I'm not going to say I'm unbeatable. But you did well, Sophia.

Sophia, did you know that one? I did. I was just behind you there. Yeah, I'm devastated. Let's have a rematch later in the year. Sounds good. Okay, there you go. Oh, we've got tickets for you, by the way, Sophia.

Just a plan. We're going to send you along to see Mary Poppins at the movies. Oh, awesome. Thank you. No worries. There it is, mate. I don't need a prize because winning is enough. Bree and Clint.

Bree and Clint. You know when you've got a secret smell in your life? Is it one of those cases where you're like, I can smell something and then you go on the hunt to find where it is? Sometimes it happens in your car. Like there might be like a piece of McDonald's stuck down the side of your seat.

What about when you're wearing clothes and you're like... One of these items stinks? Is this whiffy? Yeah. You know? Kind of like that, except harder to find. I have had... Oh, it's a secret smell treasure hunt.

Since before Christmas, I've had a secret smell and I have not been able to find it. It's one of those smells that I know stinks, but I don't know what it stinks of. Oh, so you didn't know. And it's familiar enough that I go, I know what that is, but I can't put my finger on what it is. So it's not like a poo smell. It kind of is like a poo smell. And so since Christmas, I've been on an investigation.

My investigation has led me to every single corner of my house, under my house. I've sniffed items of clothing. I've sniffed food. I've sniffed, like, old boxes. I've gone as far as sniffing animals. I've given my animals a sniff. You sniffed your wife, Lucy.

Yeah, I sniff her quite regularly. She smells quite nice. That was for a different thing, though. You sniffed her for a different reason. Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff. No results. Get back here. Because up until now, every time I leave the house, smell is gone.

So I know it's not on my person. Then I get back here to work for the first day of the year with you. And here's the smell with me at work. And I'm going, oh no, it can't be following me. The smell is not following me. So what, you're blaming me? I have now, come Thursday, four days at work, managed to pinpoint exactly what my secret smell is,

my stinky smell, and it's your fault. I know what it is. I've just reached into my bag and I've found one of the parting gifts that Bree provided me with at the end of last year my Brie Thomas L signature bacon scented air freshener now it's my fault it's been in my bag since before Christmas just marinating but these things are meant to get better with time. I think this has gone rotten.

Take a smell. Okay, hold on. It's not good. It's not good. It got into my throat. But thank God. You know that feeling of relief when you finally find, I'm just putting it back into its airtight packet

so we can put it in the bin. It definitely doesn't smell like bacon like it's meant to. You might have missed this last year. Bree gave us air fresheners that have her face. And how many chins would you say are on there? Probably about six. About nine chins. And the air freshener is scented with bacon.

I look like a thumb in that photo. These things cost a ridiculous amount of money too, didn't they? They were very expensive. How much? I can't remember now. They're at least $30 each. $30. $30 for something that has just almost ruined my summer.

Worth it. Had me looking at the cats going, you little sons of bees. Honestly, what have you done? What have you ruined? You already made me throw out my gym bag. What have you pooed in now? Not their fault. It's the air freshener that's meant to make things smell nice

and it's done the opposite. It's been in the same pocket of my bag as my sunglasses. Do they stink? So the problem was when I was putting my sunglasses on, they were right next to my nose and the smell was following me everywhere. I'm going, where is the smell? What is this thing?

Let me try. Let me put those sunglasses on. Okay, hold on. Well, just sniff the sunglasses. Oh, yeah. Oh, they are potent. The worst bit is these are Lucy's sunglasses as well. Yeah, no.

I wear my wife's sunglasses. You can throw those in the bin. So, mystery solved. Still your fault. Yeah, I'll own that. I wanted to know this afternoon on 0800DALZM, what was your secret smell? What was the mystery smell?

Yeah, what was the smell that was plaguing your life? Maybe it went on for a week. Maybe it went on for a month. Maybe it went on for a year before you eventually found out what it was. 0800 dial ZM. What was the secret smell? Doesn't matter if it's gross. It can be gross.

Or you can text us on 9696. Probably is gross. In fact, almost definitely is gross. Probably going to be gross. We're talking about mystery smells because Clint over the holidays has been trying to figure out what this weird mystery smell was in your life. Turns out it was you. Can you please like back it up with what you actually made?

Turns out it was your stinky face. It was an air freshener with Bree's face on it, made by Bree, made to smell like bacon. Kind of smells like rotten ham. It smells terrible. Yeah. And it was in a compartment in your bag which had sunglasses in it. So every time you put your sunglasses on, you could smell it.

Yeah, because it was right next to my nose. Terrible. That feeling when you find it, though, and you can remove the smell from your life. Oh, it's heaven. Because I had a similar thing where I, in my car, I was like, what is that smell? For about four months, figured out it was this rotting avocado in my boot. So we want to know, on our 800 dials ZM, what was your secret smell?

Angela, hi. Hi. What was the mystery smell? So I had this smell in my kitchen for like six to eight months. And it smelled like rotten meat. And I'd cleaned every single thing in my cupboard everything like more than once and then mum turned up one day and she goes

oh it's actually this little tiny cup on your windowsill with this plant leaf in it that's rotten. That was it? Rotten. That amount of smell could come from one leaf? Yeah. And now it's gone and it's great. Yeah it is great. Listen to how it's great. Yeah, it is great.

Listen to how excited you are. And it's the best thing ever. Had you not done the thing where you follow your nose around? Yep, and I'd kind of only would, you could

only smell it every, maybe every two days when a certain wind would come through Only when the wind was blowing southeast on a sunny day, a Wednesday it must be.

Hey, at least you found it. I love this text.. Hey, at least you found it. I love this text. Someone said, we're on holidays and we found a nappy under the bed from the last guest. They found it at the end of the holiday. You don't know it was from the last guest either. It could have been from any guest previous.

Who knows? Depends on how well they clean the rooms. Obviously, they didn't clean it well enough to find it between you. Who's putting a nappy under the bed? That's off. I understand parents are under a lot of pressure, but... Maybe it was an accident. Maybe the baby did it.

Hey, Mark. Hey, how's things? Good. What was the mystery smell? Well, I was at a sporting event, and the race that we were supposed to photograph, I was at a sporting event, and the race that we were supposed to photograph, I was doing photos, the race we were supposed to photograph

came around a bit sooner than we expected. So from the lunch they provided, grabbed a couple of boiled eggs, put them in my camera bag, went off to photos, all that sort of stuff. And we flew back, so, you know, you look after your gear. But there's this thing a couple of months later, I'm sitting at my desk going, what is that smell?

And I was like, is it my feet? Yeah. No, it's the dog. It's pawing at my camera bag. Yeah. So looked through the camera bag, unzipped all the main pockets, no nothing, and then under one of the pockets for the lenses, so I dropped the lenses on top of these things,

is these two smashed flat eggs. Yeah. This is the problem with people who take boiled eggs as snacks. They don't smell good when they're fresh. And they don't smell good after you eat them either. You know, you see these people, sometimes they put them in tinfoil as well. And I'm like, what are you up to, man? What are you up to? Boiled eggs are a home

food. They're delicious. That is a home food. That's a home food. Eat that in the comfort of your own home. I love this on the text machine. This person said, it was my dog's anal gland. It leaked on my couch.

It was the worst thing I ever smelt. Problem was the couch was brown and I couldn't figure it out or see it. Oh, that is disgusting. That makes me never want to get a dog. I've heard anal gland stories before. I've heard someone who's burst on their leg while they were driving.

Hi, last one. Tom, what was the mystery smell? Yeah, how you going? What was it, Tom? We put a flounder under my mate's old VW Hubcat. Oh, no. And he drove around with it for a while before it started to smell. And then probably six months went by

where he cleaned his car two to three times a day because he's going, mate, I swear this smells on the outside, not on the inside, but it's just seeping in. And I was like, well, no, no, I don't know what it could be, mate. And then, so anyway, a few months we'd buy after that

and he went to change his tyre one day and pulled it off and just power churned it all over his car and all over the floor and everything. That was one of the best pranks I've ever heard. And you've just given an idea to a lot of people around New Zealand. Also, he's like, thank God I found this flounder, but now my car smells like vomit.

Free and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and Clint's birthday banger. New time slot, still the same old good old school bangers. We take your birthdays, we figure out what was top in the charts on your 16th birthday, then we deliberate and play one of those songs in full. Hey, Brayden.

Hello, how are you? Good, how are you, Brayden? I'm great, thank you. Never asked this before, but what are you hoping for in your birthday banger? Like, what type of song? Ooh, I don't know. Probably got to be a good upbeat song, I think. Good upbeat song.

Okay, give us your birthday. 23rd of March, 1996. Okay, Brayden, you were 16 in 2012 on the 23rd of March, and back on that day, this was number one. You got the original fun track, We Are Young. Yeah, not bad. Not bad, right? Not bad. Bit of an anthem.

Good sing-along song. Really good sing-along song. Didn't mind that one. Okay, let's go to Kennedy. Hey, Kennedy. Hi, Kennedy. Hey, team. What's happening, Kennedy?

I'm just parked on the side of the road. I'm excited to talk to you guys. I love it. Taking part in Birthday Banger. What's your birthday? 26 of the road. Excited to talk to you guys. I love it. Taking part in Birthday Banger. What's your birthday? 26th of January 1993. Okay, Kennedy, you were 16 in 2009 on the 26th of January and on that day, this was top of the chart. Kennedy, do you remember the fray? Uh, yes, yes. Yeah, you got The Fray.

Yes. They were great for a minute, weren't they? That was an absolute tune. I really like How To Save A Life. I don't know if this is the best Fray song, but it's good. It's a throwback. It's good. Definitely like a moment in time type track.

Good one for you, Kennedy. Okay, let's go to one more. Jojo. Hey, Jojo. Hi, Jojo. Hi, how you going? Jojo, if your birthday banger. Jojo. Hey, Jojo. Hi, Jojo. Hi, how are you going? Jojo, if your birthday banger is Jojo, I'll

give you $1,000 of my own money. It's an instant win. Oh, I don't like my chances. It would just be too good. Well, it all depends on when you were born. Give us the year that you were born. You know, I saw Jojo buying a scratchy at the Gold Coast once at a

newsagent. Did you? Oh, wow. And I was like, oh my god, that's Jojo. Not you, Jojo buying a scratchy at the Gold Coast once at a newsagent. Did you? Oh, wow. Yeah, and I was like, oh, my God, that's Jojo. Not you, Jojo, the other Jojo. Yeah, it was Jojo. Yeah. What's your birthday, Jojo? We'll figure out this song.

8th of June, 1984. Okay, Jojo, you were 16 in the year 2000 on the 8th of June, and this is your birthday back. It's not Jojo. No, you thought I'd get my thousand. You don't get your thousand dollars, but it's possibly better. You get Britney, Oops, I Did It Again. Yeah, yeah, there was a goodie back there.

Is this the first Britney song, or was it? No, that was, this is the one where she wears the full red leather latex suit. Oh, the one with Sabrina in it. Yeah. What was the first one? Hit Me Baby One More Time. No, that was Drive Me Crazy, the one with Sabrina in it. Oh, my God. This is the one where she's in space.

What are we playing? What are we playing? Bring Britney back. Bring back Britney. You know what? It's Britney, bitch. It's Britney, bitch? Yeah.

There's some great options today, but I think you're right. I think... This is what birthday bang is about. Yeah. Jojo, it's Britney. This is for you, Jojo. Awesome. Thanks.

Imagine proposing to someone and not remembering it. So you go to bed one night, not engaged. You wake up. Your girlfriend has a ring on it. You're engaged. I feel like this is like the hangover or something. No, there's no alcohol involved. So this is what happened.

So this is a true story. This guy was having trouble sleeping and he decided to take a drug called Ambien. Have you heard of this before? Ambien's like sleeping pills, right? Yeah, exactly. So he decided to take an Ambien. It's actually so bad, these drugs. Is Ambien the one that the rugby players were taking for a bit

and then they take a Red Bull to stay awake and then go loopy? Yeah, I think that's Stillnox, which, yeah, that's crazy too. So this is apparently a really strong drug and it also's Stilnox. Which, yeah, that's crazy too. So this is apparently a really strong drug and it also makes you hallucinate. Oh yeah. Anyway, this guy decided that he really couldn't sleep so he decided to take four of them.

Oh man. What an idiot. So there's people you hear when they go to Amsterdam and they go, oh the weed brownie didn't work, I'm going to have another one. Yeah, better have another one before I let this one settle in. Next minute they're part of a live sex show. I know, right? Anyway, this guy apparently had an engagement ring in the drawer in his room,

but it wasn't for his girlfriend. He'd traded it on Craigslist, which is like Trade Me, for something else. So he just randomly had this ring that he was going to sell. That is dangerous. Right? And he goes to sleep, or he doesn't remember it, wakes up, his girlfriend has a ring on her finger and he has to ask her what happened. Oh, I feel so bad for her.

Me too. She's probably, well, obviously she said yes. Apparently she, yeah. Because she's wearing the ring. So apparently she said yes and the story gets more interesting because apparently the guy was like, how do I not remember any of this? Yeah. Anyway, the guy has gone onto Facebook whilst in this like...

Hallucinated state. Yeah. Yeah. And he's updated his relationship status to engaged. That's incredible that he's got the cognitive function to even be able to do that in that stage. Said doesn't recall it at all. Got 150 likes before he even

saw it. He said he wasn't planning on proposing to his girlfriend for like another year and a half. That's what he said. So he was planning on doing it though? Yeah, well that's what he's saying now. But maybe, do you reckon he just did it and then regretted it straight away

and now he's pretending that he took these drugs? Are you trying to get an excuse? No. No, I don't. Has that ever happened to you? What, have you ever proposed to anyone on drugs? No. I hope not.

Not that I know of. Have you ever taken like a prescription drug and then have kind of went into like, and you don't really remember what happened? I took a pre-workout supplement once before a game of indoor netball. That stuff's scary. And then I got home from the indoor netball game and I couldn't sleep. And so I cleaned the whole kitchen from top to toe.

You know those gas tops of the oven? Yeah. I took every single element off. I got some steel wool. I scrubbed them until they polished. Honestly, I cleaned for about three and a half hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest.

Yeah, that stuff's crazy. Yeah, yeah. When I was about 15, heart was going to beat out of my chest. Yeah, that stuff's crazy. Yeah, yeah. When I was about 15, I used to get really stressed out during exams and I'd be an absolute nightmare around the house. So my mum one time, she told me this like a couple of years ago, my mum one time gave me the drug Finergan. Have you heard of that? That's not a real drug. No, it is.

Finergan. Finergan. It's for hay fever and stuff. It's for allergies. Oh, it's like antihistamine. It's like a really strong antihistamine. Oh, because really strong antihistamines put you to sleep, right? They make you drowsy.

She gave me so much of this drug, I slept for 10 hours. Did you miss the exam? No, but I felt great in the morning. If there's little ears in the car right now, this story's probably not appropriate for them, but it's too good not to share. So I have this mate when I was visiting back home in Aussie and she was telling me about her 30th and she was like, you know, and cause I couldn't go to it. And she was like, oh, you know, my friends threw me a birthday party. It was great.

Had all my friends there. And then they decided to take me to the strippers for my 30th birthday. That sounds appropriate. She'd never been before. Yeah. So you do something, I don't know, memorable. Strip clubs love when ladies go too. You girls get in free.

Yeah, why do they like it? Because it balances out the creepiness. Right. Because if it's just a room full of dudes looking at girls, gross. It's the rule of all bars. That's why hot girls get in for free because it balances out the creepiness. It should be all girls. It's normally just hot girls.

But strip clubs, I think they'll take any girls. Right. So there's a big group of girls. They've all gone to the strip club for my friend's 30th birthday. One of the girls in the group goes, well, because it's your 30th, we're all going to put in to get you a private dance. That's how it works.

So she's ticking off a couple of bucket lists. She's going to the strip club. She's getting a private dance. Does she like ladies? No. Oh yes, I think both. I think she's into both. But she's's into both. Okay. But she's not into that.

She wasn't all that keen. She's not into lap dancers. No. Okay. She wasn't all that keen. Well, she never had one. How does she know? Well, she was like, it's my 30th.

I may as well give it a go. I'm here. They're paying for it. Cool. Might make a friend. She sits down into the booth and she says she's sitting there and the stripper comes over and she said, oh, you know, pretty attractive girl. She comes over and first she wasn't keen and then she's kind of like, oh, this isn't that bad.

It's fine. Not a big deal. She goes, be over in a couple of minutes. And it was at that point when she realised something was a bit off. Something was there that shouldn't have been there. Okay, on the stripper? Yeah. Okay, a couple of things spring to mind.

Was she a pregnant stripper? No. Was she a multiple? Was she? No. Did she have a winger no oh then I don't know I love how the producers

are like what is it what is it the stripper yeah was obviously going through that time of the month oh there's a ripcord oh no

it was a ripcord oh no I mean no no no no no I don't know how to react I don, no. I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't know how to react. I don't know what the nice way to react is. The ripcord had slipped out. Yep.

She spotted it. Yeah. And then for the rest of the 10 minutes, she said, all I could feel was a string. Tickling my leg. Tickling my leg Tickling my leg Look it's an occupational hazard

If you take your clothes off for a living That's going to happen Like what are you going to do You'd think you'd check What are you going to do Not work for a week Exactly Nothing wrong with that

But you'd think you'd check And they do say it's all downhill from 30, so... She wasn't off to a good start. It's time for a bit of Spy. Our Hollywood respondent on the ground in LA, the best buns in the business, Dean McCarthy. Hello. Hello, guys. How is everyone? The best buns in the business.

He makes really good bread rolls. Yeah, it's like Easter every single day at Dean's house. Notice I didn't deny. That's about right. Don't ever deny it, Dean. You deserve it. What's going on with the government shutdown over there at the moment? Okay, so here's the update on this.

If you have been watching the news, you would have seen that the USA government is in shutdown still. I think it's like day number 26 or something. Longer than my last relationship, actually. But this relationship has turned very sour. Let me give you the lowdown on this. Over 800,000 US government employees are not being paid. Some of them still have to go to work, though. For example, the TSA.

So I just flew back from New York today. And only half of the TSA staff, which are like the airport security, kind of like the TSA. So I just flew back from New York today and only half of the TSA stuff, which are like the airport security, kind of like the American version of border security, half of them aren't there. And the ones that are there, let me tell you this, imagine being dragged to work and not being paid. Imagine the look on their face. Imagine the pat downs. They're kind of not really looking at you. The scanner's going like twice the speed. It's a bit of a hot mess, and they're still not closer. There's no step closer to a resolution on this.

Still in shutdown until, allegedly, the president gets the wall. $5 billion for the wall that he really, really wants. Unbelievable. That is crazy. Especially with something as important as that in a country like America, who have had airport issues before, you'd imagine far out there. I wouldn't think they could run on skeleton staff. Let's break it down for a second.

Essentially, Donald Trump has thrown his toys because he hasn't gotten the money for this wall, so he's saying, I'm not going to pay anyone, nothing's going to happen until I get the money for this wall. What is the... Exactly. I can't even comprehend that that's actually happening in America right now.

That's crazy, Dean. No one can. Hey, in other news, something's happening with the Queen. Okay, drama. And the Queen, not me, the other Queen, the real Queen, the Queen of England. Let me tell you the lowdown on this. This has just had me shook for days. Apparently, Prince Philip, who's been married to the Queen for 70 years,

the guy who never really talks, he's kind of like a hot handbag, I guess you could say. The guy that retired like last year or the year before? Yeah. Yeah. Retired from what? That's another chat. I don't really know what it is. But here's the lowdown on this.

Apparently, in a new book, a new tell-all book, they have revealed that he had multiple affairs over the last 70 years. But finally, over all these years, one name has actually come up. Kim Pat Kirkwood. Pat Kirkwood is her name. She is allegedly a ballerina that had an affair with Prince Philip. That's the name that's been thrown around today. And she came out saying that she wishes she'd never met him.

Her life would be better if she hadn't. I'm just trying to picture where he would meet people. Oh, no, he was a bit of a playboy. You've got to remember, when she became queen, this is pre-social media. It was even before TV. He could kind of go out and do what he wanted. Right. No paparazzi, nothing like that.

So this isn't recently. This is like back in the day. Back in the day. Not like last week or anything like that. He's 96 or something. I don't think it was this year Seriously He retired

Maybe he needed more time To get out there If it was last year That is seriously impressive Hey Dean Thank you so much We love talking to you man Bye guys

See you Dean Smith and Normani Dancing with a stranger I think he's gone If he's not gone From the country He's leaving tonight I said to you I thought he was gone. If he's not gone from the country, he's leaving tonight. I said to you, I thought

he was visiting like a potential lover. I think he just loves New Zealand. Each time he's come here, he's gone to Hobbiton. I saw him when he was here earlier in the year. There's another weird thing. He was only here two months ago. And that's why I said to you, I reckon. Because New Zealand

is amazing. Great holiday spot. And hot people. But I think he's come back because there's someone here that he likes. Okay, we'll go with that. That's totally fine. And I mean, he's Sam Smith. So he can travel country to country.

You know what I mean? Unlike us non-singers who are bound to one nation and shall never leave our homeland. It's a lot easier for him, I'm saying, to have an international liaison. An international relationship. Yeah, okay. I can buy that.

I'm just saying I'm calling it now if it comes out later. That he's got a boyfriend. Yeah. God, he'll be gutted he got that big sty while he was here. If he was on a raunchy vacation and then he has to get this big bung eye.

Not that there's anything wrong with the bung eye. It's just... Just bad timing. Yeah. You'd rather get it when you're not trying to impress someone we spent half the holiday here with the eye patch he did so why was it why the guy that he's seeing it's like it's okay we'll turn it into role play he gives himself a pig leg he's like look look we can still have fun you're like i'm gonna pull out my sword I took it too far Slay you Stab you Why is there a parody? Have a good night everybody

We'll see you tomorrow Bye
