Kia ora everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. Another week, another show. It's Monday. Yeah. Yeah, you can't be like, oh, another, I guess that's when you say it, but. Yeah. Yeah, alright. I couldn't tell, I can't tell what the inflection was.

No, it wasn't a bad, it wasn't bad. Oh, right, right, right. I was just saying another week, another show, here we are. Right, oh, bloody Groundhog Day. We asked you podcasters specifically last week who has the fuckest New Zealand accent. It sounded like you said fuckest. Yeah, it did sound like that.

I said thickest New Zealand accent. And then we said, you know what? We'll set up a poll in our Facebook podcast group. And then we went on a weekend and just forgot about it. No, I didn't forget about it. I did post it and it didn't post. And that sounds like a lie, but I did. What did you post it or you didn't post it?

I posted it under Brian Clint. But didn't post. And then I realised it wasn't there ages later. How convenient. Laura Kent's done your job for you. Thank you, Laura. And the poll has been running all weekend and we've got some results

on who has the thuckest New Zealand accent. Bree, you're ineligible because you don't have a New Zealand accent. No. So the options are Ellie, myself, Producer Ben, and then someone's added Ross Boss to the poll as well. Yeah, fair enough. And there's been over

100 votes, which is great. With one vote, Ross Boss in fourth place. With two votes for thickest accent, me, DJ Clint. Well, this is rigged. In second place

with 21 votes, Producer Ben. Nice. And the thickest New Zealand accent with 100 votes What? Wow Producer Ali

Buzzy G Buzzy G Mean I'm guessing that's why You got it, yep Yeah You're the kiwiest shriekler on this show Yeah, now I'm really self-conscious

Alright, now we know. As long as it wasn't me, that's fine. That's out of the way. What did you want to talk about? I wanted to talk about, because my flatmate, Big Gay Al's out there. I just wanted to bring up a little something with him. He can't hear me right now, but I'll let you guys know what happened on the weekend.

You don't want him to hear? No, not right now. But on the weekend, right, there's a new guy that's just come into our lives and he is best friends with pretty much one of my mate's girlfriends. What? A new guy in your life? He's very close in the friendship circle, this new guy that's come in

and he's living in the house with a lot of our really close friends. Okay. Right? Is he living in your house? No.'s living in the house with a lot of our really close friends okay right is he living in your house no who's in your house me alan and annabelle okay no so he doesn't live in our house but he's very close in the friendship group alan's just starting to cotton on now he's just kind of looking around anyway we gave both of them this chat where we said to them we were like look we understand you're both gay you're both attractive you're both single but there's no under any circumstances to be any funny play because if it goes badly then it actually affects all of us because it makes it

awkward don't screw the crew because you risk screwing the whole crew yes yeah anyway um over the weekend we all went out and it was great. It was fun. It was the first time that Alan had actually spent a lot of time with this guy. And I noticed that they were getting quite cosy in the corner and I saw them having these big long chats and I just thought we'd bring Alan in and ask him.

Oh, you don't know if anything went down or not? No. And I think it's time that we ask the question. We're interrogating. I reckon you ask it now. No, wait, let's all vote. Let's all vote. Do we think?

No, I think no. You think no? Yeah. Yes. You think yes? I think undoubtedly yes. First of all, Alan don't give a fuck what you say. And second of all, like, big dog's got to eat.

Yeah. Come on, Clint. We need to know, I think. Yeah, you ask him. We need to know or I bring him in. You want to bring him in or you just want to ask him over here? Yeah, you go. Come on in now.

Go on, mate. You're fine. Don't be shy. He doesn't know what's going on. Alan. I didn't hear anything you guys said to me or said about me then, so I have no idea what I'm walking into. Bree's accused you of... No, I haven't haven't accused oh you didn't vote actually i don't think so no because

i think he respects the rules brie said that she told you that there's a certain member of your friend group who is off limits to you sexually yes and you know the rules I know the rules Don't screw the crew Did you Or did you not On Saturday night Have a sleepover In his bed I did sleepover In the bed

But that doesn't insinuate sex Okay Did you Our pants stayed on Your pants stayed on Yeah no We were like very drunk Did your lips lock

No Just cause your pants stayed on Doesn't mean nothing happened We literally We had a bro no, we were like very drunk. Did your lips lock? No. Just because your pants stayed on doesn't mean nothing happened. We had a bro chat and we're like, we don't screw the crew, we don't screw each other. We can't do it to the friends circle. I said that would be the case and Bree said no. No! He said yes and I said no.

Bree said I don't trust that Ellen guy. Him and I had a very serious chat and his best mate Claudia got into my ear and she threatened me and it was scary and I'm never going to touch you Ben. Don't say his name. Well there you go. That's case cleared.

Friend group intact. Friend group intact. But this weekend if you notice I'm just very horny that's all I'm saying. And next time it looks like someone's

about to join your friendship circle Ellen Ellen, have sex with them quick before Brie can stop you. Hey Google, what's the time? It's 3pm, give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.

Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. You know, I'm really peed off that with all these new voice-activated systems that we can get around our house, why can't we rename them to what we want to rename them? That is very true. I've got a lecture in my house,

and I want to be able to call her, like, Sandra or something. I'd call mine something like Karen. Yeah. Damn it, Karen. Yeah. You know, someone you can get angry at as well. Sorry to all the Karens listening. I think with Alexa, you can call her computer or something.

Does that change people being able to call their daughter Alexa? Oh, definitely. You know what I mean? Like imagine calling your daughter Alexa now. Yeah, and then she goes into a house that has Alexa. It'd be so annoying. And you're like, Alexa, start a timer for 15 minutes. And you're like, can you stop speaking to my daughter like that, please?

She is a guest in your house. She's not here to be your slave. Thank you very much. Alexa, how do you spell testicles? Don't ask my daughter that! Hey, today on the show, this is quite interesting. I've got what I think is an opportunity for us to get ahead of all the other shows in New Zealand with what I think is going to be the greatest giveaway on New Zealand radio this year.

I do like to get ahead. It's an item that no radio show has ever given away before. And I think that it's particularly topical, especially to us and to people who listen to our show. But it's just one of those items that you go, oh yeah, I want that. And from a marketing perspective, I think it's going to drag in the audience.

You know, I think this is the thing that's going to, as they say in the business, move the needle. You know, if we can get our hands on this item, we're unstoppable, Brie. There's no one who can get in our way. It's a miniature pony, isn't it?

It's not a miniature pony, but it does involve a little bit of budget from our front to get it across the line. How much are we talking? I'd like to prop it to everybody first. I'd like to pitch it. So this is something...

And then we'll worry about money, okay? ...that everyone listening right now, if we can get our hands on it somehow, they can win it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. We just have to order it. It's very simple.

I'm keen. Like, it's not like we have to convince someone to give it to us. We just have to order it and use someone's credit card and then we can give it away. Ross. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ross. Yeah, I don't know who's in charge of money on this show, but we can figure that out next, okay? I'll put it to you guys. I'm keen to hear about it. And then you can decide if this is the first major investment for the Bree and Clint show for 2020 as well. All right.

Okay. Bree and Clint, this is Benny and Glitter. ZM. What else has left now? Bree and Clint. I have put it out there, rather a big call, that I think I've found the prize giveaway that our show needs to put us over the top, Brie, to set us apart from other radio shows. Because that's it, right? Everybody's got, like, cash to give away. Everyone's got, like, trips overseas or tickets to concerts.

Not everybody has this item, you know? What is it? I want to know. It's a unique item that I think our listeners are going to, they'll crawl over broken glass to get hold of this item. How unique are we talking? There are none in New Zealand. There's none here. We'd have to order this in from overseas,

and there are none here. In fact, you can't even buy it in New Zealand. So that's how unique it is. Wow, okay. The item that I think our show needs and that I think we should purchase is a Friends crockpot. Crockpot, slow cooker, whatever you want to call it.

Friends themed. It's a Friends themed crockpot. Oh, I like it. I like it a lot. And I've got it up on the screen here. Can you describe it, Bree? Can you tell us what it looks like? Essentially, it looks like your standard household crock pot.

It's white, but it has Friends in big letters, obviously, in the themed, you know. In the logo. Logo. And then you've got all different kinds of drawings that relate to the Friends show. I can see the word pivot, which is obviously a classic. There's the couch from Central Perk. There's the couch. There's how you do it.

Yeah. There's Phoebe's taxi on there. The Empire State Building. I would 100% buy one of those. It's a Friends crock pot. Now, so you're in. You're obviously in. Absolutely.

And I'm in. That's two. We only need three to make this happen. Producer Ben, do we get your vote to buy the Friends Crockpot for the show? Yeah. It's a great idea. Cool. And Producer Ellie, do we get your vote to purchase the Friends Crockpot?

I love it, yes. It's four from four. Okay, sweet. Who doesn't love a Crockpot? You know? Who's in charge? And I mean, there's not much of summer to go. A Crockpot is already a great thing to give away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You put Friends in there. Who's in charge of I mean, there's not much of summer to go. A crockpot is already a great thing to give away.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You put friends in there. Who's in charge of finances on our show? Well, Ellie, both of us are, but we haven't made a purchase this year yet. We haven't made a purchase. So it's fresh here, new credit card. We did sell the Venute, so, you know.

Bit of money lying around. That opens up some stuff. Okay, well, the crockpot itself retails for $59.90 US. Yep. So that's like $300 New Zealand. We'd have to order it in and to ship it to New Zealand, it's another $59.90 US. And then we pay a bit of GST.

Oh, Jesus. And some import charges. It's not that bad. I reckon we'd get the Friends-themed crockpot for around $250. Look, there's a 20% off code at the moment. Oh, okay. Make that $200.

Yeah, alright. Yeah. Okay, sweet. Can you guys get onto that? Can you... Just one? Yeah, just one. If we get two, it devalues it. If we get one, we'll say it's the only Friends crockpot in the country. Literally the only one and you have to win it on this show. Yeah.

Plus it'll be the world's only $250 crockpot. I had a look on the warehouse website and the same crockpot without Friends logos on it? Yeah. $35. Really? But it's not Friends themed. But it's not a Friends themed one. All right, we'll get that and you can win it.

Bree and Clint. I wanted to tell you guys, because I noticed something very, very strange on the weekend. Maybe it's just me and maybe I'm untrustworthy, but I went to this, I guess it was like food vans, like you know where they put together a bunch of food trucks. Like night market type things? Yeah, like a little night market where they put together a bunch of food trucks. Like night market type things? Yeah, like a little night market where heaps of people can go have dinner and you can get

whatever you want from all the different food vendors. Yeah. Anyway, so we went along to this place on Friday night and I was like, oh, the pizza place looks good. Typical me, Italian. The only place I looked at. The pizza and the pasta. Yeah, the pizza and the pasta.

And they looked like legit Italian. So I was like, yeah, it's going to be good. How could you tell? Well, I couldn't tell. The nose. No, they were talking a lot with their hands, so I was like, they're definitely Italian. Anyway, so I've rolled over there and I was like, oh, you know, hey, how much are the pizzas? And they're like, they're $15.

And I was like, great, can I get two? And I said, do you take cash? Because I had cash on me and I assumed because a lot of food trucks take cash they said no we don't take cash um we don't take f-pos we don't have an f-pos machine I was like what so it's free and the guy was like look to me and he didn't think that was funny and then and then he said to me he's like oh we actually just do bank bank transfers hey so no joke i sat there on my phone i was like okay what are the details and then i transferred money from my bank account to these guys bank account like some illicit deal you're doing over a pizza yeah and then and then I said to him, I was like,

but how do you know that if it goes through or not? Do you want me to show you that it's gone through? And he goes, nah, I trust you. What? Who is this guy? My mind was blown. I understand the no cash thing these days because it's faster and you don't have to have a float.

And everyone's got a card these days. Even faster if you just operate off pay wave type thing. But he's just having a laugh because he obviously doesn't want to pay the FPOS fees. Exactly. But have you ever heard of someone doing bank transfers? Can you imagine that it goes into big business and you go down to New World?

You go through the checkout and you've got like $140 worth of groceries for the week and this is a guy standing there going, okay, 06-0413- and he gives you all the numbers and then you go, oh, it's through and he goes, good, I trust you. I trust you. Hey, no, we're friends.

I've met you for 10 seconds. I trust you. But the joke's on him because he shouldn't have trust me because I transferred him the $30 for the two pizzas. And under description, because I'm so hilarious, I put strippers. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

Live to LA with Dean McCarthy who's got news on. Kevin Hart. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Hello, everyone. I've just stepped off the red carpet at the SAG Awards. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Hello, everyone. I've just stepped off the red carpet at the SAG Awards. Go on, watch it right now. It's so wild.

Brad Pitt has won. Jennifer Aniston has won. One person you didn't see there, though, Kevin Hart, making headlines today. They have asked him to host the Oscars again. However, remember last year, the drama, when all those tweets were revealed from 2010 and he pulled out and then he got fired and then he got asked again.

They've asked him to host it again and he has said no. It will be a host-less Oscars again. They're going to do like multiple hosts, different presenters doing different sections. So there'll be no Kevin Hart, but he was asked because they've forgiven him. I wonder why he said no. Well, he just, he refuses to apologise again about it. He did apologise at the time, apparently.

It's a really long, I can't even remember. Yeah, it was for homophobic tweets that he did back in 2010, 2011 and they said, the Oscars said, you know, we want you to host but we just want you to apologise and make sure that people know that you are sorry for those things that you tweet. He goes, I've already apologized about this.

He goes, I'm not apologizing again. If I have to apologize again, that's the only way I can host. Then I'm not hosting. Really interesting, eh? Because he says, from what I get, he says he's not that person anymore who said those things. He said he's grown and he's learned. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he just clearly can't be bothered with the drama. Because if he does, if he says, yes, I'm going to host the Oscars, then he puts himself out there for all that criticism again. And if you're the host of the Oscars, you have to do a whole press tour. You have to go on Ellen. You have to do all the things. And it's going to come up again. It would come up every single time.

If you haven't seen the documentary series on Netflix, I believe it's called... Don't F This Up. Yeah... Don't F This Up. Yeah, Don't F This Up, Kevin Hart. And it actually covers that whole entire saga in the documentary and what he's feeling and what he's thinking. And there's this really interesting conversation where he talks to one of his gay employees

at his actual company about it. And you can see she's quite hurt and upset about it. And then a few months later, he's like, I did the wrong thing. And they have this really nice conversation. So it's really enlightening to watch it, actually. Dean, I find the whole Kevin Hart or no host thing really interesting too. Like they've gone, we only want Kevin Hart. That's it.

And if we can't have Kevin, no one. We'll just get Siri to host it. You know, how much do I get paid to host it? Have a guess How much? $15,000 Is that it? Literally

Yeah Alright You do it for the glory But you get so much scrutiny And so much pressure And everyone Yeah, no There's the real reason he's not doing it

It's not worth getting out of bed for for him No And it's not obviously for the money Definitely not That is the money. Definitely not. That is the latest out of Hollywood with our correspondent in LA, Dean McCarthy. Brianne Clint. Come on.

If you're planning a trip overseas this year, have you got any trips overseas this year? I was looking at Bali. Oh, yeah. But I don't know. You've been to Bali before. Go somewhere else. I want to go to Sri Lanka.

Where do you want to go? Oh, I'm not going anywhere. I've got a new baby. Yeah, that's true. For the next 18 years, I won't ask you that question anymore. I'm going to the public library for a group activity called Wriggle and Rhyme. Hey,

you should go to London. Have you been to London before? I would love to go. So there's a hotel that is opening in London, which I think is right up your alley. Here we go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is genuine. You will enjoy it.

Will you be insulted by this? I don't know. You shouldn't be. I'm glad you're thinking about that now. It's right in your wheelhouse. Put it this way. Okay. You know, when someone says something that pinpoints you so much, it's your fault if

you get offended. All right. They're opening the world's first cheese hotel. Absolutely for me. Not offended at all. So the cheese-themed hotel is going to be called the Cheese Suite, and it's in London. The Cheese Suite is decorated with cheesy wallpaper, bedding, and more.

So everything is yellow and has like a Swiss cheese print on it or a Parmesan colour. Can you eat things in the room? So, no. It's like a cheese phone and a cheese TV remote. Oh, that's annoying. Each night that you book to stay in the hotel comes with a free cheese based meal.

I like that. And each of the rooms have an on demand service for more cheese. So you can get as much cheese. You can pick up the real phone and order more cheese to your you can get as much cheese. You can pick up the real phone and order more cheese to your room. That's for me. I like this view. How much is it?

So you can't pay to stay there. What? You need to send an email to the email address that I'm about to give you. And you can win a spot in there. But entry's closed tomorrow. Oh Jesus, I need to email now. So if you want this room, and this goes for everybody listening as well, if you would like a spot in there, but entry's closed tomorrow. Oh, Jesus, I need to email now. So if you want this room, and this goes for everybody listening as well,

if you would like to stay in the world's first cheese hotel this year. What's the email? You need to email thecheessuite. The cheese, S-W-I-T-E. S-W-I-T-E. Yeah, suite. I'd spell suite like S-W-E-E-T or S-U-I-T

No that's suit You've spelt sweet as in candy and then suit cheese suit, that's something else Wait, like a hotel suite Do you spell it how? S-U-I-T-E Oh sorry, I misheard you I thought you said W for some reason

I'm going to start the email address again from the top for everybody listening It is thecheesweet at cafe rogue that's R-O-U-G-E cafe rogue .co.uk entries

close tomorrow Excellent. Yeah, just send them an email with a subject line like, I don't know I am definitely not lactose intolerant Excellent. Yeah, just send them an email with a subject line like, I don't know, choose please. I am definitely not lactose intolerant. Send. I follow a few of those advice group pages on Facebook because I'm at that age, you know.

I've joined a couple recently too. It actually is kind of interesting just to read different things that people go through in their lives. What sort of advice pages are you on? I'm on a girl's one but then I'm also on like a couple's one. I don't know I can't even remember I think I joined them a while ago to obviously try and get more content for the radio show. Sure you did. And I ended up using them quite a lot. Anyway I noticed this one particular message on one of the group pages this morning. And it's a guy, which I don't know how old he is. He doesn't actually say.

But he wrote this in the group page. He said, I've been dating my girlfriend for about six weeks. And all I can think about when I see her is that I want to marry you and it takes everything in my power not to blurt it out. Is six weeks too soon to get engaged? Yes. Oh, were you asking me? Yes. Well, this is what he's asking. I don't care if you're asking me. Yes. You reckon six weeks too soon? Kino bino. What if she's feeling the same thing? They do say, people do say when you know, you know. Yeah, but you don't want to, take it from me,

the keenest person in my relationship, you want to hold on to that card for as long as possible. Like, you want to be cool in that relationship as long as you can. Because once you're the key no, be no, you've got no power left. Because you know the other saying, they say, when you know, you know, but it's best to be sure. There's that side of it too. If this really is the girl that you should spend the rest of your life with, chill out, brother.

Six weeks. I did some research because I was interested. Six weeks! I was like, for me, I would be running for the hills if I was her. Six weeks, they wouldn't even be going number twos in the same building at this stage. Yeah, well well that's some people move fast. She'll be still taking trips to the gas station

like I feel like a twix. Do you feel like a twix? I'm just going to shoot out and grab us some twix. Do you guys want to know because I've done some research on what are the actual like around about numbers and number of months as to when you should be kind of doing things in progressing in a relationship.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I looked, this is, her name's Shilpa and she's a relationship expert and she talks about, yeah, when you first meet someone, how long it actually takes for people to usually say I love you and it was interesting to me how long she reckons it usually is. What would you guys say? Do you guys remember how long it took you in your current relationships? I don't remember the actual time frame, but I'd say maybe three months.

Three months feels about right. Ellie? Yeah, we were a bit of a weird one because we were so close already and we already said love you to each other. Like friends. Yeah. So it was a bit of a dicey one, but probably three or four months. Yeah.

That I was actually in love. Yeah. It's four to five months, Mark, she says, is about average. And then she says usually you go on a holiday together for the first time around seven to ten months. And then you will usually, most couples will move in together around ten to fifteen months. Whoa, really? Yes.

That's what it says if you're progressing like towards being together for a long time. Yeah. And then she says 15 months I can get, but anything under a year seems fast to move in together. Yeah, same here. I kind of feel that too. And then she says usually if you're on that

path and you're in that age group of getting engaged, it's about a year and a half. What? Engaged? What? If you're in the age group of where you're ready to settle down. What's the age group?

It doesn't say here, but I want to say, what, like 28 onwards? I guess, yeah, actually. Yeah, okay. If you're starting a relationship in that part of your life. Exactly. You're probably more like, all right, no more mucking around. Yeah. If you want this and I want this, yeah, okay.

Because as I've gotten older, like from 28 onwards, every time I get into a relationship, I'm usually like, where's this going? Yeah. And I think about straight away if I could actually. My man got time to piss around. No, pretty much. I can feel my eggs just screaming out to me. No, but you know what I mean?

I'm always like, mmm. Does your current partner know that about you? Yep. Where's this going? Where are the babies? No, but... Mama needs to be fertilised. So I bought us a house.

You have to move in Even following that chart You would have to say that six weeks to propose to someone is incredibly soon Even if you're in your late 30s I think that's very quick This is just our opinion But I mean it could work It just feels like he should slow the heck down

And just be really really really really really, really, really in love with his girlfriend for a while. Be normal and tell her that you love her after six weeks. Yeah. You know, at least you might get away with that. Start with that. Yeah, start with that. Because if you go, I think I love you,

and she goes, ooh, I need some time. Okay, let's get married then. I wonder what's out there, though. Like, there'll be cases of people Who have done it Really fast Cause I think it I think it can work out Yeah

Not every time No But I think it can work out And I want people to call now 0800 DIAL ZM Were you Engaged very quickly In your relationship

Or did they propose Really quickly And maybe you didn't End up getting engaged That too I'd love to hear those If you proposed And got turned down Or they proposed really quickly and maybe you didn't end up getting engaged? Yes, that too. I'd love to hear those. If you proposed and got turned down or they proposed really soon and you're like, no, bro, sorry.

How soon was it? How soon? Why? Yeah, we'd love to hear all of your stories. 0800 dial ZM or you can text your stories in on 9696. Bree and Clint. How soon is too soon to get engaged? We're talking about this guy that I saw on a Facebook group page.

This guy was asking advice saying he'd been dating his girlfriend for six weeks and all he could think about was asking her to marry him. Is that too soon? It's cute, right? Is it cute? Well, I'm pretty sure by the way of the message is that she's really into it as well. You'd hope so. Well, let's hope so because obviously it's not going to work message is that she's really into it as well. You'd hope so. Well,

let's hope so because obviously it's not going to work out well if she's not. Actually, her being into it and her not being into it is the difference between it being cute and not. That's exactly what it is. Yeah, exactly. But maybe we're wrong. Maybe we're being judgmental. Maybe people get engaged sooner than that. There's plenty of time and when you know, you really know. Hi, Jenna. Hi, how's it going? Good. What's your experience with getting engaged early? Yeah, so I split up from my husband a few years back, so I was still married technically

at the time. So I met this guy in the September and we were engaged by the November. What? Whoa. And I was still married, so I had to wait until the next October to be divorced, and then we got married

in that December. So you didn't waste any time even then? I thought you'd be even more jaded than your regular Joe because you'd be like, oh, marriage is for chumps.

It doesn't even work. Yeah, I'm not doing that again. Yeah, I was a little bit. I'm never going to get married again, and then I met this guy bit upset. I'm never going to get married again. And then I met this guy who was like mega persistent, just like on my case 24-7. And then he just pushed me onto the couch

and put this big rock on my finger. I was like, oh, well, you're off the market now. And that sold you, didn't it, Jenna? Oh, my God. Just for the fellas listening, Jenna, is that what ladies want? Mega persistent, always at you? Yeah, I really quite liked it I think

because my husband was not so persistent so I thought it was quite a nice change and someone was really into me and like, you know really chasing me and like really wanted to marry me so I was like, oh yeah, why not? Okay, interesting. Me? Probably not. This person wants to remain anonymous. Kia ora Anonymous. Hi Anonymous.

Hi. Tell us your story. What's happened to you? I just said each to their own, but I was engaged after a week. Oh my God, tell us about that. How did that come about? I don't know. I don't know.

We just hit it off. Some key questions, Anonymous. Are you guys still together? I've been married for nine years. Congratulations. How soon did you guys have kids? Or did you have kids? Do you have kids?

We got married before we had kids. Yeah, yeah. So we got married. Well, I'd hope so. You got married. Oh, married. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to know.

We got engaged in September. Okay. And then how long were you engaged for before you were married? October, November, December, March the following year. Oh, so pretty quick. Yeah, okay. So not like a long engagement. August I fell pregnant with our first child.

Well done. Oh, you've done everything very quickly, but it seems like it's worked out perfectly. Jane's here too. Hey, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hi. Hello, how are you? Good. How are Hey, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hi. Hello.

How are you? Good. How are you, Jane? Very well, thank you. Just trying not to get myself killed here in Christchurch, but that's all right. Anyway, fire ahead. You fire ahead.

Tell us about your fast engagement. So I sort of knew this guy, and we went out on our first date, and I don't quite know what happened, but I ended up cooking him breakfast the next morning. Yeah, girl. I know what happened, Jane. After breakfast, he said, let's go for a walk on the beach. Walk on the beach.

He said, I'm going to marry you. Oh, my Lord. Jesus. That must have been a bloody good breakfast, Jane. I was going to say, what did you cook him, a full breakfast or what? Full English. Jane was good breakfast, Jane. I was going to say, what did you cook him? A full breakfast or what? Full English. Jane was good at her eggs. And so I got on the plane and flew back to Christchurch

and he followed me. And in June, we celebrate 30 years of being married. Oh, Jane. Congratulations. You're the love story that the movies all talk about. I mean, that could really go either way though It wasn't easy It wasn't easy because we had

Some paperwork to do And he had to write a letter to the Pope Why? Where I'm coming from Because he had been married before And I didn't break the marriage up And I'm a Catholic And I wanted to get married in the Catholic Church.

So he even went down that road for me. Yes, yeah. And we got the letter from the Pope in May, and we were married in June. Beautiful. Did the Pope get you a nice crockpot for your wedding present as well? Maybe a chopping board? No, dear. A kettle?

A Russell Hobbs toaster maybe? I can just imagine your husband's letter to the Pope. I can just imagine what it said. I've met this really hot bird. She cooked me a great breakfast. What do you think? Look, I know I'm mucked up before, Pope. But I think I've got it right this time.

This time's different. I love Jane. I bloody love Jane. I love that story, Jane. That's so cute. Thanks so much for calling us up and telling us that story. Thank you. No worries. We'll see. There you go. calling us up and telling us that story. Thank you. No worries.

We'll see. There you go. One day. Six weeks. One day. Six weeks. This guy might be too late. He's already missed the boat.

Bree and Clint. Oh, my God. What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God. No. Are you f***ing kidding me?

Bree and Clint's Cliffhanger. Okay. Welcome to the second ever Cliffhanger. Okay, welcome to the second ever Cliffhanger. Basically, you ring us and you tell us three quarters of a story. And then to finish it off, you're going to hear three endings. One of those endings has been written by Bree. One of those endings has been written by me. And one of those endings is the actual ending to the story. It is your job to be able to pick which is the true and real ending of the story. If you get that right, you win free mobile fuel.

And if you can't pick it, then you're going to get the fuel, Adam. Hi. Hello, Adzy. Hi, how's it going? Good, thank you. We've heard you've got a real cliffhanger story for us this afternoon. Yeah, well, let's give this one a crack. So many years ago, I used to,

I did a stint working in the safari industry in Africa. Okay. And I kind of had a love interest there, one of my colleagues. Right. And she was managing one of the camps. And I used to say to her, listen, when you go have an afternoon nap, you need to close your door. There's a lot of real dodgy, creepy, crawly things around here.

And I wasn't just referring to me. But, you know, I was just trying to give the warning. So one afternoon I drove up there, you know, being suave and what have you. And I, again, noticed that a door was open. And as I went to go wake her up, I just kicked the end of her bed. And then I noticed something under her bed. Okay, stop. Okay.

All right. That's three quarters of the story. Let's hear the three alternative endings. Producer Ellie. All right. Ending number one. Turns out it was a giant anaconda about eight metres long. I used quick thinking and ran around the back to the outside of the window

and pulled her out the window to safety. Scariest moment of my life. Ending number two. Found a snake. Tried to be a hero. Actually accidentally shot the shit out of the place and missed the snake. Ran out screaming like a little girl.

Ending number three, I saw something under the bed that something was the singer of the Lion King soundtrack and huge Safari fan, Elton John. He was there doing research for the song Can You Feel the Love Tonight. What? One of those is the correct ending to Adam's story.

Tasked with finding the correct cliffhanger is Taylor Hi Taylor Hi Taylor Hi, how are you? Do you think you can tell the real ending? Yeah, I think it's ending number one Ending number one So ending number one, you said it was a giant anaconda And he saved her out the window, yeah?

Yeah, he wouldn't leave her there What's that? What did you say, Taylor? Surely he wouldn't leave her there. Surely not. Okay, well, we go back to Adam. Adam, what is the correct ending to your cliffhanger? It was a black mamba under the bed. I tried to be a hero.

I ran to my vehicle, grabbed an elephant rifle, took it out of the room, shot the hell out of the place, destroyed the room, ran out hell out of the place, destroyed the room, ran out of bullets when the snake started coming at me and I ran off like a girl. What a hero, Adzy. That means no prize for you, Taylor. Thank you for playing.

But you get it, Adam. Congratulations. We've got some free mobile fuel for you. Thank you very much. Nice story. What an Honestly scary experience Weird that it wasn't The Elton John one as well

I know Could have been I thought for all money Elton John was underneath That bed That would be Well the remarkable thing Is that the love interest

Was the one That you sorted out The snake Alright Adam Oh shit Bree and Clint We're back in second setting Oh my god Bree and Clint This We're back in second setting.

Oh, my God. Bree and Clint. This is interesting. A guy took to Reddit over the weekend to ask the question, am I the a-hole in this situation? Ooh, I do love these. Yeah, so you can be our judge on it too if you like. Okay.

Him and his partner, who are getting married this year, they've each saved $10,000 to put towards the wedding. So they've got a $20,000 budget and they're both chipping in an equal amount. He has suggested that, um, I mean, $20,000 is good money, but they're still going to have to be a bit creative with the budgeting. He suggested

that his wife purchase her wedding dress from the website Wish. Oh, God. Does that mean he has to buy his tux from Wish? By the sounds of it, he would. He said, I know everything is more expensive when it comes to a wedding, but I didn't expect $950 for a dress and $120 for a veil, which I think, mate, if that's all she's spending on the dress,

you're getting off lightly. Yeah, that's not the cheaper side. This is the dress she's been dreaming about wearing her whole life. And if you're getting away with a grand, then you should just shut up. The thing about wishes, you buy something, it doesn't always look like the picture anyway. And you've got no idea when it's going to turn out. He said, I'm not trying to get her to cheap out on her dress,

but that $1,000 will literally cover our whole honeymoon. Where are you going on your honeymoon for $1,000? He just sounds cheap. He said he's frustrated that she wants to waste money on a custom fitting dress. Oh, heaven forbid you want to dress that fit. Heaven forbid it fits, right? And he said he showed her one that would be, in quotes, just the same on wish for $50.

This guy has a death wish, honestly. This is my thing when it comes to wedding, is a lot of women say that they want men involved in the planning process. They want guys to step up and take more responsibility when it comes to organising a wedding. I don't think you do. I think in theory that sounds lovely, but in practice, if you put the men in charge of,

not all men, but most men, if you put them in charge of elements of your wedding, you'll end up with your guests sitting on like beer crate furniture at the wedding. Or the catering will be chips and dip. Yeah, yeah. Or sizzlers. What did you do for your wedding?

Did you organise anything? I organised the DJ. Dope. I organised my suits. Okay. What else did I organise? We had conversations about everything. Now, what did you organise?

I organised the alcohol. Okay. Yeah. So did you pick organised the alcohol. Okay. Yeah. So did you pick all the alcohol that everyone would drink? We agreed to it and then I ordered it. Yeah. Yeah, I did.

I had input. Okay, I had input. Sounds like you were all over it. It also does sound like I was allocated the boy jobs. It sounds like you were allocated jobs that you really couldn't F up. You know what I mean? The DJ. Because you are a DJ, so obviously you would know other DJs. I just booked my mate Dean.

Exactly. It's not that hard. Drinks. I mean, there's not that much where you could go wrong. I just got stony piers. Everyone just liked alcohol in general. And then the suit, she probably doesn't really care that much because you're wearing it.

single parents for some reason. Both of our parents are still together though. But say in this case they're not. Okay. Your mum starts dating my dad. Oh lucky girl. And Big Steve, lucky man. Lucky man.

My mum is a wonderful woman, but I mean, I've met Big Steve. What is with you and talking about my parents like this? Well, not just me. Remember we saw those pictures of Big Steve? You've got to admit, he's a spicy bowl of soup. Yeah, he's great. He's a tall drink of water.

He is, isn't he? Stop talking about my damn dad like that. And I mean this. He's a spicy bowl of soup. Yeah, he's great. He's a tall drink of water. He is, isn't he? Stop talking about my damn dad like that. And I mean this, Big Steve, if you're listening, I mean this in the most respectful way possible. Yeah. As the kids say, no homo. Or maybe actually a bit, a bit, a little bit.

He just looks like he can look after you. Yeah, he can. Okay, all right. That was meant to be a really short part of this story, but it's gone south. Oh, is that not what we're talking about? No. Sorry. It is, but it isn't. I regret nothing. So say, pretty

much you and I would be, what, stepbrother and sister? If our parents got together. What a turn of events. That'd be quite interesting. I'd be the older one, though, so I'd be in charge. Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. Anyway, this is actually happening right now with a couple of A-list celebrities.

They're actually behind it. They're the ones doing Matchmaker. Okay. So they met on the movie set of The Gentleman, which has been out recently. Yes, the new Guy Ritchie film. Exactly. And we're talking big A-list celebrities. Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant have set up their parents.

Are you serious? I'm dead serious. So Matthew McConaughey's mum, her name is Kay McConaughey, is going to go on a date. Her name is not Kay McConaughey. Well, she would have married into the McConaughey name, wouldn't she? Okay, okay name is not Kay McConaughey. Well, she would have married into the McConaughey name, wouldn't she? Okay, okay, okay.

Kay McConaughey. And James Grant, which is obviously Hugh Grant's dad, they've set them up on a date. So he's, get this, he's 91, the dad, and she's 88. I love it. And they're going to go out on a date next week. Yeah. Here's Matthew McConaughey talking about it.

Matthew, you recently mentioned in an interview with Hugh that y'all thought you should play matchmaker to your parents. His father's 91, my mother's 88. Yeah, we did set them up, and it was red hot. Next week, they're supposed to meet. No way. And then we probably won't see them for the rest of the night. Raunchy.

How cute. Yeah. That means Matthew McConaughey, if it worked out, and Hugh Grant would be stepbrother and sister. And they would love that too. Stepbrother and brother, not stepbrother and sister. Stepbrothers, yeah. Yeah.

Can you imagine still going on dates when you're 91? Yes. Can you? Absolutely. God, I wouldn't know where to start. Honest to God. Got to get back on the horse. Yeah.

That's awesome for them. And I don't see an issue. Like, you know how you like, you'd have an issue if your friend got together with one of your parents. Well, that's different, isn't it? But I think if your friends and your parents get together and it's like all above board,

like no one's doing any cheating on anything Yeah. Sweet right? That's fun. That sounds like a great result. But it's not always that way though. What do you mean?

Like it's not always above board and you know sometimes when friends are hanging out and parents meet parents things happen and sparks fly and stuff goes down.

Oh right. Do you want to do did your parents cheat on your other with your mate's parents? No, I don't. Because it's a spicy phone topic. I'm just saying there could be stories in there like that. Yeah, okay. But we want to know from you guys on 0800DIALZM,

did your parent get together with your friend's parent? Yes. Did they hook up, which in turn maybe they got married and you guys became stepbrother and sister. Or maybe they just up? Which in turn, maybe they got married and you guys became stepbrother and sister. And maybe they just dated for a bit. Or maybe they just dated. Maybe you just walked in on them one day.

Just, you know. We're not going down. Mum, I thought you were here to pick me up. You can text us on 9696 as well or call 0800 ZM. We're just discussing how Matthew McConaughey is setting up his mum with Hugh Grant's dad.

Well, they're setting their mum and dad up together, so they're both in on it. But they thought, you know, Hugh Grant's dad, he's 91, and Matthew McConaughey's mum, she's 88. So they decided to put them on a date together. Yeah, why not? Yeah. Technically, if they end up getting married,

that means Matthew and Hugh... Stepbrothers. Stepbrothers. A couple of lady killers in that family then, isn't there? Buzzy, hey, how weird is that? Yeah, because they've been working on that movie, The Gentleman, together. So we were discussing what it would be like

and has anyone out there, has your parent got with one of your friend's parents? Yeah. Yeah. Have they ended up together? Making you guys step-siblings, essentially, right? Yeah, because sometimes that would be the dream.

Steve's here. Steve, hello. How's it going? What happened to you, Steve? So, my wife's mum, she was single and and we were friends with some really good friends. We met up, I think it was at Hawke's Bay, got together, and we found out that their dad was single as well. And we sort of set them up.

They had a little blind date. And, man, it was within, like, I think it was within a couple of months they got married. Whoa. And, yeah, and we're always loving it. We're like, it's so cool being brother and sister. Now, it sort of doesn't really feel like we're brother and sister. But yeah, it's fairly humor related. So wait, so just so we're clarifying, Steve,

you're now stepbrothers and sisters with your best mates. Yeah, exactly. Right, that's cool. Hang on. That's so good. It's such a cool feeling. It's great. Christmas must be a hell of a lot of fun. Oh, exactly. Right, that's cool. That's so good. That's such a cool feeling. Christmas must be a hell of a lot of fun because it'd just be like one big party, right? It's really good. It's like good vibes. It's good times. It's great. Yeah, sometimes I just want to set my brother up with good friends of mine just so they can come to Christmases. Yeah, I don't think your friends would mind

either. Shut up. Senior brother. Hi, Nicole. Hi, Nicole. Hi. What happened to you, Nicole? At my 18th birthday, my mum and my best friend's dad hooked up. Whoa! Wait, wait, wait. Is it scandalous or is it all above

board? We didn't find out until later. Nothing was above board. We didn't know it happened at my party. Jesus! Was your mum single? Yep. later. Nothing was above board. So we didn't know what happened at my party. Jesus! Was your mum single? Yep. Was he single? Yep. Oh, well that's all good then.

That's all I meant by above board. No, it really wasn't. Oh, it wasn't? So how did you find out is what I really want to know. My mum kept going out real late at night and she's usually the type of person who's in bed at like 7 o'clock at night. She said she was going to her friend's house bed at like 7 o'clock at night. Yeah, she did. She said she was going to her friend's house

at 10 o'clock on a Sunday night. Oh, no, we expected her that night. She was. She was going to your friend's house. Yeah, yeah. So my boyfriend at the time was like, oh, well, we should follow her. I was like, okay.

I was like, oh my God. And he only lived two minutes around the corner. Yeah. Did you follow her? Oh my God, I saw where she was pulling up. Yeah, we followed her. And this was like 10.30 my God. And he only lived two minutes around the corner. Yeah. Did you follow her? Oh, my God. I saw where she was pulling up. Yeah, we followed her. And this was like 10.30 at night. And I screamed.

I was like, oh, my God, no. And what did you see? Did you see, like, one of those movie moments where people, like, follow them and then they're, like, hooking up in the doorway? No, she went inside. We just watched her go inside. I was like, oh, my gosh, this can't be happening. And then I ended up going home and I rang my best friend because she

lived at her mum's and she was like, no, you're joking. She didn't believe it. And it went on for a couple months and we just didn't want to say anything. We knew. So wait, you guys never talked about it? Yeah, we have now.

Yeah, but after? They didn't get together. It was just like a friends with benefits thing. Whoa! Yeah, for have now. Yeah, but after? They didn't get together. It was just like a friends with benefits thing. Whoa. Yeah, for like months, my mum would be like, I'm going to my friend's house. I'm like, okay. Yeah, I'll bet you are. Oh, well, keep your other friend's parents away.

You never know. Thanks, Nicole. That's a great story. Lee's here too. Hi, Lee. Hi, Lee. Hi, how's it going? What happened to you Lee?

My Wife's mother and my father Are dating Wait, this is a whole different kettle of fish You're Oh whoa Were you guys together first? You and your wife?

So you guys found each other first and then they Decided to mess the whole thing up by making you guys technically set brother and sister. Well, they're not married just yet, but it's in the pipeline. It is in the pipeline. No, they should not be allowed to get married, Lee. It should be a no-go.

I've never met anybody in this situation before. Do they have your blessing? Like, are you guys cool with it? Oh, we're happy with it as long as it doesn't affect our relationship with them, then it's okay. Yeah. Have you done a wee family tree to see, like, where the grandkids go and just to see

if there are any branches that might cross over? There wouldn't be, there wouldn't be. Like, there's no genetic issues or anything like that. I just think it'd be quite a complicated part of the lineage. How fun. Hey, Lee, how fun that now all of you can share the same last name. You have to laugh.

What else are you going to do? Thanks, Lee. As long as they're happy. Bree and Clint. Maybe she had chafe. Yeah, Brad got tricked. Brie and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banging. Maybe she had chafe. Yeah, Brad got tricked. It's not Brad's fault.

Zed and Bree and Clint. That's DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. It's Boom, Shake the Room, the winner of Birthday Banger today. We should do more music in my opinion today. He should do more music, in my opinion. Will Smith should do more music? I love all of his music. I saw an interview he did on a hip-hop station in New York last week where he said that Jada Pinkett Smith, his wife, grew up with Tupac.

No way. Yeah, and when he was dating Jada when he was younger, they'd be at events, and he was a rapper by this stage, he's the Fresh Prince, and he'd be at events and Tupac was there as well, and he said he was always too jealous of Jada's relationship with Tupac, like her friendship, to ever

go and talk to him. And she was like, you should, you guys would have so much in common, and he could never get over it, and then Tupac died and they never spoke to each other. Oh, regrets. Anyway. Will Smith. One more thing.

Has Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith been together that long? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. You know they name their kids after each other? Willow and Jaden. Have you guys ever thought about that? Willow Smith is after Will, obviously,

and Jaden after Jada. Isn't there another kid too? What'd they name that one? No, they didn't have that one together. Oh, right, okay. Bree and Clint. I didn't realise this, but New Zealand still has a Blockbuster.

Remember Blockbuster, the video stores? Yeah, I didn't realise that they still had one here. We don't really. It's having a closing down sale. But until now, we had the second to last Blockbuster in the world. Still being open because, of course, we actually called one of the last Blockbusters ever. I think it was last year.

It was the Blockbuster in Oregon. Yeah, this one is in Dargaville up north. And I thought we could give them a call and just check in with what is the last ever blockbuster in New Zealand and just sort of see how they're going, right? I have a few questions for them. Good morning, Chris speaking. G'day, Chris.

Is this Chris from the New Zealand's last ever blockbuster store? Yeah, I'm Joy brother. Hey, it's Bree and Clint here calling from ZM radio station. We just wanted to ring and see how you guys are going. G'day mate. We're going great, we're closing down the last Blockbuster in the world. Second to last, second to last. I think there's one more in Oregon somewhere, but you're the last one that we can visit anyway.

Is that sad? Are you a bit sad about that? Oh, I'm incredibly sad about that. And believe it or not, Oregon is just a display store just showing you what's actually involved in this broadbuster chain, but you couldn't actually rent in it. No way. Right. So you're the last real deal? I'm the last real deal, so I believe. Chris, I want to ask, in the last however long,

how many people would you get coming in there and still renting our DVDs and stuff off you? Every day, we're generally about 15 to 20, but in the last week, we've been having untold people just wandering and just buying bucket loads. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the longest outstanding late return you've still got and will you still be pursuing that person for late fees? You don't want to know. It is extremely long. We had to stop at the five year mark.

Are you taking his house, Chris? I don't know how we're ever going to get the money from him, but you know, there we go. That's crazy. I have a question. In your time working there, how long have you been there for, Chris? I've been working with them for 26 years. Wow. I've owned the store for six years.

That's amazing. I want to know, with your experience, what do you think in the past, like, I'm going to say 10 years, what has been one of the most rented DVDs that has gone out the store's doors? Would have been Crossroads, would you believe? The original Crossroads. Wait, so not the one with Britney Spears in it? No, no, the other one with the actual Ralph Mario inside it.

Yes, I know the one. How come? It's just that guitar riff which he keeps playing, and everyone wants to see it. Between that and Roadhouse would have to be the two top rented movies. That's so interesting. With Patrick Aswasi inside it. Yep. I want to know

what day is your last day? The 31st of January. It's the last day with this lovely store open. We're packing it all up and putting it in my house and oh my gosh, I don't know where I'm going to put the 7,500 movies, but there you go.

So are you selling them, Chris? Can people come in there and buy some off you? Yeah, they can buy. The older ones are $5. The new releases are $15. The recent releases are $10, and TV series are $10. Perfect. There's a plug for you, Chris.

All right. Thank you very much. No worries. Thanks for you, Chris. All right. Thank you very much. No worries. Thanks for talking to us. Sorry that it's gone this way, but congratulations on being the world's last ever blockbuster store in operation. I was quite surprised, too, when I got the email. See ya.

Thank you, mate. I don't know if you know this about me, Clint, but I'm a very big snooker fan. Are you? I take the game very, very seriously. And not standard billiards. No. You like the proper game of snooker.

Yeah. The big tables. It's the real deal. I don't need to tell you about snooker. No, you don't need to tell me once. I know all about it. You're the fan. Yeah.

I'm a massive fan and I love to watch it on television. Right. And I was very upset. What channel do you catch the snooker on these days? I usually catch it on, most of the time it's on Sky. Oh, okay. Yeah, I only get Sky to watch the snooker actually. Right.

Yeah. But if I know you, money well spent. Absolutely. The amount of snooker I watch, it's money well spent. Please tell me you've bought some snooker content to the show. I have. Because I feel like we've been really lacking in that department. Well, I can bring more.

I just didn't think you'd appreciate the snooker chat as much as me. Well, why don't you give us some today? Okay. And we'll run a snap poll too on the text machine. Right. After this, would you like Bree to bring more or less snooker content to the show in future? Well, I hate to start off snooker chat with something that's quite shocking, but I got quite upset by this.

I read this online the other day. I actually was watching this match, but I was pulled away by something else. I didn't see the rest of it. But there's a fan who was ejected from the Masters snooker final, I mean disrespectful, at Alexandra Palace for appearing to... You don't mean Ali Peli, do you? Yes. Again, I don't need to tell you that because you're the snooker fan.

Yeah, the classic, obviously, arena that all the biggest snooker games are played. And this actually made me quite upset because I can't believe that someone in the crowd would disrespect the game of snooker so much okay so I'll set the scene um obviously you know there's Ali Carter one of my favorite players and Stuart Bingham I mean just a legend of the sport in my opinion uh yeah old Bingers uh or SB as they like to call him in the game of Snooks. There they are at the London venue. Ali Carter was trying to make his shot when someone in the crowd did this. Same thing as the other day.

A bit of unwanted noise at the moment emanating from somewhere in this vast arena. What a venue it's proved to be for this great tournament. Yeah, somebody's making an awful noise. Not funny for the players. The crowd find it quite amusing. The first time, the first time you get away with it. The second time, that's blatant disrespect for the game of snooker. I mean, it's absolutely disgusting,

and it was right on a really important shot. And, I mean, who goes there to make such a disrespectful act towards these amazing athletes? Absolutely. Can we hear it one more time? Just one more time. Listen to obviously the pain this person is in. It is an absolute blatant disrespect.

I mean, who would do that during an event? It's disgusting. I can't believe people would actually do that, go out of their way. It was a fart machine. Oh, was it not real? No, it wasn't even real. Oh. Don't act so disappointed.

Bree and Clint. This is interesting. A quarter of teens have admitted in New Zealand That their grades have suffered Because of how much time they spend Mucking around on their phone or tablet Or whatever device they've got Of course it is Because it's procrastinating expert level

Yeah, 100% You don't even have to try to procrastinate anymore And you've got the world's biggest companies Vying for your attention Of course Instagram is more interesting than Pythagoras Theorem. You know?

There's no question about that. So a quarter of teens in New Zealand are now willing to admit that. The numbers are probably a lot higher than that. How many a quarter? A quarter of all teens.

Is that it? Yeah, it's a study done by NetSafe. Not being able to admit is the first sign of a problem. At least they know how much a quarter is, right? They've done enough maths to figure that out. But it's not just teens.

It's unfair to just level phone addiction at teens. It's all of us. We should take a good hard look at ourselves too. Except for the boomers. No, they're on there for a long time too because it takes them ages to do stuff. So they, you know, they do that one finger touching. They do.

And all they're trying to do is do a Google Maps. Yeah, I know. Her text on her phone is so big that I swear each letter takes up a whole screen. I'm like, Jesus, woman. So we've been back at work for a week. Holiday time shouldn't count. I think that's your own time to be on your phone and that. But us four here, me, you, Bree, producer Ellie, and producer Ben as well,

this is our second week back at work. We should be back into productivity mode and our phone screen addiction should have gone way, way down. I will say that technically our job we do have to be on our devices probably more than the usual person. Yes, especially me. I'm just going to

preface that now. Especially Ellie. Producer Ellie has been into all of our phones and she has scraped our data and we're about to find out who's the worst. All right. So this is the last seven days.

We're going to start with old TikTok. Okay. So in fourth place, it's myself. I only spent a minute on TikTok, but I'm probably missing out. In the last how long? Seven days. You haven't really touched it this week.

Clint, 11 minutes. Oh, yeah. Bree, four hours, 10 minutes. Whoa! And Ben, you've come in at eight hours and 13 minutes. In the last seven days, you've spent an entire working day on TikTok. You need help.

You send me links every day, both of you. We've got to check this out. Okay, well, that's fair. Oh, all right. Well, next we've got... I'm posting a lot, all right? Yeah, no, you are. You are. You've got to check this out. Okay, well, that's fair. Oh, all right. Well, next we've got... I'm posting a lot, all right? Yeah, no, you are. You are.

You've got good content. The next one we've got is our Messenger app. Oh, yeah, like Facebook Messenger. Yeah, so in fourth place, we've got Bree, 48 minutes in the last week. Oh, she's got it. Yep, nice work. Clint, one hour and eight minutes. Yeah, I don't think that's too bad.

Yep. Ben, one hour, 30 minutes. Okay. And coming in at first or last place, I don't know which one it is, is me with one day, 11 hours. Wow. Are you okay? I swear this is wrong.

Who are you messaging? No, I have not been on this. You know why? She's on it all day at work. I've seen you. You talk to your sister. Messenger. You talk to your brother.

She bloody multitask like there's no tomorrow. Yeah, so that's Messenger. One day? Talk to your sister. Talk to your brother. She bloody multitask like there's no tomorrow. Yeah, so that's Messenger. One day? Oh my God. We've got Facebook next. In fourth place, we've got Ben, one hour, 17 minutes. Okay.

Clint, two hours, 10 minutes. Yeah. Bree, two hours. Oh, sorry, Ellie, 11 hours. Sorry, Ellie, two hours, 11 minutes. Oh, no. And number one was Bree, eight hours, 10 minutes. You spent eight hours on Facebook?

You told me Facebook sucks now. No, I did not. You said Facebook's for old people and I'm young. No, I did not. That's why you're on TikTok so much. I do not talk like that. Nice, mate. All right, and the last app that we all use quite a lot is obviously Instagram. I feel like if you've won this one, you're probably the worst.

Yeah. So it says one day girl on Messenger. So fourth place here, we've actually got Brie at seven hours and ten minutes. Yes! Yeah. Yes! I know. I'm surprised too.

Wow. Shut up! I'm surprised because there's nothing that happens on Instagram that Bree isn't aware of. Yeah, it's true, eh? I am across it. Yeah, you are. She must use it on her desktop. I spend my time well.

Yes. Third place is Ben with 11 hours 20. Nice work, mate. Yeah. Then we've got Clint at 13 hours 35. 13 hours in seven days. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay, that's two hours a day.

But don't worry because we've got me at number one one day 13 hours so you've spent two days of your life so my total is three days two hours and 12 minutes on those four apps Wow she is a social media manager though. When do you eat? I don't know. When do you wash yourself? I'm just glad you didn't do the red tube app. Oh, yuck. You should look at this on your own phone too. It's a real wake-up call. Just give it a Google and say,

how do I access my app analytics? It will blow your frickin' mind how much time you're wasting on these things. Or don't, and live in bliss. Like us, before this. You'll be into this, Bree, because I know you like to put on a good spread when you host people. Oh, I love an antipasto platter. That's what we call it in Italy. You guys have taken it, and you've called it something else, but it's antipasto.

Okay, well, fantastic. This is a new platter, but it's antipasto. Okay, well, fantastic. This is a new platter. So it's right in your wheelhouse. Bring it on. Both of us are big on our platter games. Now I'm a platter guy too. Because did you see they're dishing out pancake platters now? Forget pancake platters, mate.

It looks awesome. Check this out. This is the new trend. This is what people are getting into now. It's called a baked potato platter. Hot damn. Yeah. Holy hell.

That is a good bloody idea. So a baked potato platter or a baked potato board is where you get a whole bunch of spuds. Cheap. You slice them open. Super cheap. And you bake those. And those go around the outside of the platter. And then this person scattered some nachos on the inside ring of that,

and then inside there they've got a whole lot of baked potato condiments. Think bowls of cheese, bowls of sour cream. Beans. Bowls of beans, bowls of tomato, bowls of spring onion, bowls of bacon. And then in the centre, a nice big bowl of chilli. Yeah. Oh, this is, they're really now thinking outside of the box. I know, right?

And I, if I went to a party and they had that there, I would probably think it was the best party I'd ever been to. It's also the most responsible way to host your guests, isn't it? Because that's a good stomach lining. Isn't it? It's very carby, but at the same time feels a bit special. You know, you're doing something different. And at the end of the day, it's just a sack of potatoes and some cheese.

And like potatoes cost nowhere the same as salami. I'll tell you that. If you make that at your house, I reckon that would cost you about 25 bucks. If you were to buy that in an inner city Auckland restaurant, $145, I reckon. Yeah, that's on the cheap. So there's your Hot food trend For those out there Looking to host a party

This weekend It's called The Baked Potato Board And we're bloody here for it ZM's Free and Clint The podcast With mobile smiles Register
