Hello everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. Oh, I've got a question for you guys. Actually, I don't know if this is podcast or not. If someone... If it's not podcast, what is it? Because we talk about the worst stuff on this intro. Oh, so you reckon maybe save it for the big time radio? No, as in I'm going to talk to you guys off air, not on the podcast, not on air about it.

Oh yeah. It's a personal matter. Okay. But hypothetically. Say it to the podcasters. Hypothetically, though. Yeah. If someone offered you a holiday house for the weekend. Yeah.

But you don't know them. Yeah. But they listen to this show. Yeah. Would you take it? It doesn't seem hypothetical at all. It's so specific. It's quite specific, but I mean hypotheticals sometimes can be.

Are they going to be there? No. How do you know? No, that's a good point. They're not going to be there. In New Zealand? I like to think of everybody who listens to this show as being very trustworthy, but that's not the truth.

It's just not. There's no way. The number of people that listen to the show and flick in and flick out, not everyone's a loyal listener who's been with you on your journey through Celebrity Treasure Island and that turtleneck that you wore on Woman's Day that time. Not everyone has been through your ups and downs. through Celebrity Treasure Island and that turtleneck that you wore on Women's Day that time. Not everyone has been through your ups and downs.

So they work. So some people may have nefarious intent. But they work with one of the friends that's also invited. They work with one of your friends? Yes. Oh, okay. So it's a friend of a friend. No, but they're not really friends. They don't really know each other. They work together. Oh, yeah, okay, okay. So it's a friend of a friend. No, but they're not really friends. They don't really know each other.

They work together. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. Just tell us this. Have you already committed to going to this batch? Hypothetically. Hypothetically? Maybe.

Decisions made. What spooked you? Why are you now worried? Well, I just don't like taking things from people, especially when I don't know them. Leave them a gift. Oh, that's a good idea. I know.

But then what if, I mean, we don't even know what the place is like. Well, does that determine the sort of gift? No, it doesn't determine the gift, but like what if you... This place is shit. What if you turn up and it's an absolute nightmare, you know? Yeah, right. Like, we don't even know. You know any pics that they've sent?

Oh, I see. Oh, right. I'm not saying it determines the gift, but... Well, yeah. Have you looked at photos of it yet? No. Is it far away? We don't know anything.

Man, you're really taking your life in your hands. It's in Pahunui? It was Ben's New Year's resolution to live fast and loose. Is it? That's where it is? Yeah. Oh, well, that's made me think differently. Pahunui is one of my favourite places. I had a batch see when I grew up,

and we used to go there all the time, and I love it there. Okay. It's really nice. It's a very fancy place to go. Is it? Yeah. It's a very fancy place to go. Is it? Yeah, like it's a very good Coromandel area. Ooh, okay.

Well, that's made me think different. Is it on the waterways? Do you know? I'm not sure. Because if it is, then holy shipples, where's my invite? I don't think so. Okay, but either way, Kalanoi's lovely. It's a good spot.

Is it kind of like a Har Hay vibe? Just turn your Find My Friends on, just to be safe, so we know where you are. Imagine if it's like a Wolf Creek situation. Yeah. No. Okay, well, that's given me something to think about. Yeah.

Okay. If I don't come back next week, you know you can find me in Palanui. Ben's house sitting for me this long weekend. That's different. Yeah, are you freaked out by that? No, he'll be great. I mean, he's lady friends coming over I'm just going around to feed the cats For five minutes a day, you told me

Oh, you're not staying there? Do you want me to stay there? That's what house sitting is You can have a house to yourself Oh, but so clean and nice at house What are you going to do to me? That's sort of why I thought it would be nice I can do that.

I just thought I was going around to feed the cats. Even better now. It's great. No, I want you to live in my house for the long weekend so that you're there.

Naked. Is that what you want? Do you... You can be naked. You send Clint pictures of you naked on his couch? You put your balls on anything that I own. I was going to say, this is where his balls were.

Right where you put your balls. No, no, no, this is over. Ben and I need to go and have a conversation about my expectations around house sitting. They're obviously very different. It's true, yeah, it's true. I mean, if I had to pick between Ben or Ellie, I'd probably pick Ellie to house sit.

She didn't want to do it. No, I'd Ben offered first. Oh, actually, now that I think about Ellie, I'd probably pick Ellie to house him. She didn't want to do it. No, I've been offered first. Oh, actually, now that I think about Ellie, I'd probably pick Ben. Yeah, nice. You leave a lot of bombs. A lot of bombs in the toilet. I do, I do. Okay, I've had enough. I've had enough. We're out of here.

Oh, okay, Dad. You're talking about Ellie dropping bombs. The conversation's gone downhill. It's a natural thing. Yeah, too natural for you. Girls poo. Too natural for you. We poo's gone downhill. It's a natural thing. Yeah, too natural for you. Girls poo. Too natural for you. We poo. So natural for you.

Deal with it. That's your modus operandi. I poo sometimes two times a day. I know. Because you tell us about it. I'm healthy. My bowel movements are healthy. Start the podcast, Ben.

Start the podcast. Start the podcast. Poo, poo, poo, poo. Hey, Google. what's the time? It's 3 p.m., give or take a minute. Alexa, play Zedim on iHeartRadio. Playing Zedim on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?

Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Good morning, everybody. Good afternoon. Brie and Clint, good to be here, I guess. Come on, one. G'day everybody. Good afternoon. Bree and Clint. Good to be here. Good to be here, I guess. Come on, mate. We've just been given ice creams for free. You should be on the up. I'm fading, man.

I'm fading so hard. Yeah, that's your fault. You got up at 5.30 to go to the gym. Yeah, I watched that Kevin Hart documentary that you told me to watch on Netflix. And he said his secret to success is getting up and going to the gym at 6 in the morning. So I got up at 5.30 to go to

Les Mills this morning and it was great. But now I feel like I'm ready for bed. Yeah, the hardest part though is if you're not fit, which I'm not saying you're not fit because you're definitely fitter than me. I've got Christmas fitness. But it makes you tired by the end of the day. Yeah, when do you break through that? And they say

going to the gym early in the morning gives you more energy. When do you break through the barrier? I don't know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Because I was going to F45 at 6.30 in the morning and literally by the end of the day, I'd just be gone. What time do

people who go to the gym at like 5, 6 in the morning what time do they go to bed? They go to bed, I reckon, at 8.30, 9 o'clock. Not possible in summer. It's still daylight. I've got activities I want to be doing at that time. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm still living my life. Amen. Preach it. Anyway, I'll have a cup of hard in the... I'm talking about watching the hard in the, it'll be good to go. I'm talking about watching the Aussie Open, mate. That's what I'm talking about.

Is that what you're talking about? Yeah. Are you watching that? It's on. No. No. No. You're not watching it?

No, I refuse to watch it. I'll only watch the New Zealand Open. There's no such thing. Yes, there is. It was last week. No, that's called the ASB Classic. Oh, okay. If you want to talk sponsors.

Anyway, I'm watching because it's actually a very good watch and there's a lot of awesome tennis players in that competition. Yeah, they're all playing in masks, eh, to keep the smoke away. It's hectic. It's one of the biggest Grand Slams of the year and I thought we could kick off the show today with a little game that I invented. And because you're not watching it, if people are listening,

they're going to play you, which is going to be pretty easy because you're not watching. Okay, deal. Yeah, yeah. The game is called Tennis or Chemist. You have to pick whether it's a tennis player that's playing in the Aussie Open or a pharmacist. Just a regular pharmacist.

You know the reason it's called this? Because I was here when this game was invented. It's one of the great radio moments. It's the only word Bree could find that rhymed with tennis. And even then it doesn't really rhyme with tennis. Well, you suggested penis. So I feel like mine's a little bit better. Yeah, and you had to guess if they're a tennis player or an adult film star.

Tanis or painis. If you want to play for some mobile fuel, you can call right now 0800-DIAL-ZM. We'll play tennis or chemist. And you're playing me? And you're playing Clint for the fuel. Cool. Does that mean if I win, I get the fuel? No, you get nothing.

Cool. Cool. No, I'm cool with that. Yeah, you look cool. That's cool. We'll play next. Bree and Clint. See you there.

Bree and Clint. I mean, I do get asked, what do I bring to this show? And I feel like original, amazing radio games is what I bring. And I've got another one for this afternoon. It's called Tennis or Chemist. Pretty simple. The Aussie Open is on at the moment. So I've come up with this completely original idea.

I can't believe other people haven't thought of this. Where I'm going to give you tennis players' names or the names of pharmacists. They work in chemists. And you just have to tell me, is it a player from the Australian Open or is it a pharmacist? What's the last game you came up with? Rugby or Fugby?

To guess if they're a real rugby player or a fake rugby player. A name that I made up. Okay, our first contestant for tennis or chemist is Destiny. Hi, Destiny. Hi. Hi, how's things? Good. Have you been watching the Aussie Open?

Absolutely not. I know nothing about it. Well, okay, let me ask you this. Have you been watching the Aussie Open? Absolutely not. I know nothing about it. Okay, let me ask you this. Have you been frequenting a lot of pharmacies? No. Seems like you may not be great at this game but hey, it might be a bit of luck. You're playing me and I think we're in the same boat because I haven't been doing either as well.

So, how do we play, Brie? Alright, so it's going to be best of five. I'm going to give you a name each. I'm going to say Destiny's going to go first. Cool. And we'll see who can get the most correct. Alright, Destiny, your first name. Is it a tennis player from the Aussie Open

or is it a pharmacist from a chemist? Ashley Barty. I'm going to go with the Australian Open. The Aussie Open. Are you locking it in? Yeah, locked in. That is correct. Her name is Ash Barty.

She's an Australian tennis player. She's 23 years old and she is ranked number one in the world right now. Is she? Yes. Wow. So if you got that one wrong, you were in trouble, Destiny. You learn something new every day, don't you, Destiny? Well done.

Okay, give me one. Give me one. Here comes Clint's first name. The name is... Please be Roger Federer. Okay, you ready? Please be Roger Federer. Hey-o, Chin Chang.

Tennis player. You're going to lock in tennis player in the Aussie Open. He's the pride of China. It is a tennis player. Yes. It is a female tennis player. She's 26 from Chinese Taipei. He's got one score and I've got one score.

Yeah, you're right, Destiny. And she's ranked number 15 in the women's doubles for the Aussie Open. Game on. All right, Destiny, you're up. Here comes your second one. So far it's one apiece. Walter White. I'm going to go with that as a chemist.

You're going to say Walter White is a chemist? Yes. All right, locking it in. You would be correct. The character from Breaking Bad. Oh, my God, yay. Technically, he's not really a chemist. Technically, he's a made-up character.

Yeah, but technically in the show, he is a chemist. Okay, well done, Destiny. All right, Clint, you need this one to stay in the game. Here we go. I got this. Here comes your second name. Please be Novak Dijakovic. Kim Thean Lee.

Is that a tennis player in the Aussie Open or a chemist? Well, I'm going to go this time. That's a pharmacist. That's a chemist. You're going to say that that name is attached to a chemist. Well, there's a twist. Because technically that name there back in 2017, she was a pharmacist, but she got found to be a fake pharmacist.

So guess what, Destiny? You've won. Wait, wait. So she was in a pharmacy but she... She was a fake pharmacist and she got done for nearly 750,000 fake prescriptions. Holy moly. Holy moly.

Well, congratulations, Destiny. You won the first ever game of tennis or chemist somehow. Thank you so much. No worries, Destiny. You killed it. I'll share my prize with you if you want. Wait, so she got it right for picking a fake pharmacist with Walter White, but I can't have my fake pharmacist.

No, technically he was a real one in the show. Great game. Great game. Dude, you were never going to win. I wasn't getting anything out of it anyway. We've got some free mobile fuel for you, Destiny. Thanks for playing. Free and Clint.

I think it's fair to say we're living in the age of food collaborations. What have we had recently? We've had the cronut, which is the croissant donut. What about the kiwi on the pizza? The kiwi fruit on the pizza. Yeah, that was one. Remember we had the donut burger last year, which was a burger that had cinnamon donuts as the buns?

There's a new one which has come out of a cafe burger place in Adelaide, Australia, and it is dividing people. It is a lamington burger. Right, so lamington, they cut it in half, use it as the bun. And on the inside is... Cheeseburger. Yeah, well, actually, double bacon, double cheese, double beef burger. Mmm, right.

So there's a lot going on, but they're going for that salty sweet thing that everyone likes at the moment. Yeah. I think it'd be all right. Lamington bacon cheeseburger. It's being launched for Australia Day, to celebrate Australia Day. Fair enough, because, I mean, you can't get more Aussie than the Aussie Lamington, can you? Or can you?

This is my point. This is why I need to bring this to the table. Good on you for creating a Lamington burger, but I don't know if Australia Day is the right way to launch that. Don't do this, because you're only doing this to wind me up. And you know what? I'm not going to bite. Do you think that the Lamington is Australian? It's

Australian. You guys, we know that it's Australian. Right. Don't do this to try and wind me up. I'm not. You do this to me all the time. I'm not. Do you think Lord's Australian? No. Russell Crowe? Kiwi. Pavlova? Kiwi. The Lamington,

you back off because that's Australian. So I've just done a little bit of research into this because a lot of people think the way that you think. And there is a report that was published in the Guardian in 2014 which declared that the

lamington was actually invented in New Zealand. It says the first known reference up until a while ago to a lamington was thought to be a recipe published in 1902 in Queensland Country Life newspaper, which I'm sure is your knowledge of the lamington, right? That's when you know it from. No, I believe that it was invented back in 1896 in Queensland.

No. For the governor of Queensland at the time, Lord Lamington. No, that's when he became the governor of Queensland in 1896. Well, it says it was in... And then to celebrate him being the governor, they created the Lamington. Yeah, during that period. Mm-hmm.

Not 1902, before 1902. However, in 2014, some watercolour paintings from New Zealand were discovered in a painting titled Summer Pantry dated 1888. So even if it was created in 1896, a partially eaten lamington cake

is clearly visible on the counter of a cottage overlooking Wellington Harbour. Honestly, have you done your research into this? I have. Because I've done my research too. Oh, I've read as much as I just read you. Guess when that article in The Guardian in New Zealand was published.

The Guardian's not a New Zealand newspaper, but it was published, I believe, in 2014? Yeah, guess what day it was published? What day? April 1st. Oh, no. Really? I'm not even kidding you.

Is it an April Fool's article? It's an April Fool's joke. Is it actually? I'm not actually messing with you because I researched it too. I thought I had you by the balls. No, now tell me you were wrong. I honestly thought I had you by the balls. Tell me you were wrong.

I still choose not to believe you. I just no longer have any evidence. Bree and Clint. There. From iHeartRadio. This is... The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.

The biggest story in the world entertainment-wise yesterday. It is humongous. Yeah. Brad and Jennifer Aniston. Is there something that they're rekindling? The man on the ground there for us was Dean McCarthy. You were actually at the SAG Awards in LA yesterday, weren't you, Dean? I was.

I interviewed Brad Pitt. I could have high-fived Jen Aniston. I was right there among the action. Here's the thing. If you've seen today the photos of them running into each other backstage, both of them are SAG winners. He won Best Actress. She won Best Actress for The Morning Show, a TV series.

Is there something? So there's footage of Brad watching her win from, like, the back green room on a plasma screen TV, and he looked really, really happy. I know this sounds really dumb, but honestly, there is talk that there is something there. Like, in Hollywood, people are like, I think there's something still there or going on. I can say this, though. Brad Pitt, obviously, he's a good-looking dude.

To talk to him, he's so dreamy. He, like, drinks you in. Like, he looks you deep in the eye, and he's so dreamy. I can see why he got these. My wife interviewed him once for MTV on a red carpet and she said exactly the same thing.

She said it's just like you melt into a Brad Pitt sized pool and you just can't contain yourself. Here's the thing. Jennifer Aniston, very, very good, if this is possibly not true, Jennifer Aniston, very very good, if this is possibly not true, Jennifer Aniston

very very good at stoking the rumours of a reunion. Yeah. She's doing the same thing with her Instagram account at the moment, just peppering it with pictures of her and the Friends cast and now she's got everybody talking with the Brad Pitt thing. Not saying it's not true, it's just she knows how to build the hype around things that people want to see.

Yeah, and she only got Instagram last year so she learnt quick. Yeah. Okay, what's your opinion, Dean? Having been there and being on the ground there, do you believe that there could be something going on between them? I don't think that it'll actually happen.

I think that they've buried the hatchet. I think she rose above it all and has been really cool about it. I think that they might be just playing it up've buried the hatchet. I think she rose above it all and has been really cool about it. And I think that they might be just playing it up a little bit for publicity for her new projects and his new projects. Talk about good publicity. Like, that is like 1992 or whatever. And we are still talking about it.

So I think you've nailed it. I think that it's a bit of a press, smart PR vibe. I saw a really good meme today where someone took that picture where he's holding Jen's arm and then in the background they've photoshopped Angelina Jolie as Maleficent.

Oh my God. Just watching over the whole situation. Yeah, photoshopped her in. Yeah. Okay, that's Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent live from Los Angeles.

If you've said to yourself 2020, new year, new me, new job, then this might be a good story for you. News Hub have published a list of jobs currently on the website Seek in New Zealand, and every single one of these jobs involves working with animals. If I wasn't here, that's where I'd want to be. Yeah. Working with animals. Yeah, right. I would that's where I'd want to be. Yeah. Working with animals. Yeah, right.

I would love it. I've got four jobs here. Maybe not inseminating cows. Well... Because I've tried that before. Not for me. You need a very long glove. Oh, trust me.

Have you ever done it? I've had my hand up there. I didn't have any of the insemination stuff on me. Oh, we had to do it as a part of high school. I was like, this is scarring us for life. Weird high school subject, but I guess you did grow up in rural Queensland. It was in rural Queensland. I was like taking maths.

I've got four jobs and none of them involve cows. Okay. So these are all jobs that you can apply for now if you're like, screw it, I hate this job. There's no animals. First one. That's why you hate it. Yeah, yeah. There's a job going for a goat handler and hoof trimmer at Goat Care Limited,

servicing farms across the Waikato region. I could totally do that. Yeah, you could trim some goat hooves. I've trimmed horse hooves before. Yeah. Have you seen that? No. It's so cool.

You get like a big like nail file but it's like hardcore and you like file a horse's nails like you would a human's. Okay, I appreciate your passion for the job. You will need to retrain for goats. True, they are smaller hooves. Much smaller, yeah, yeah. But according to SEEK, this job. How much?

So where the jobs get listed, they get put in brackets and you sort of have an average amount that the jobs within that bracket pays. Okay. To do some goat hoof trimming, it's in the $68,000 pay brackets. Shit! Then you get to play with little goats. You get to play with goats.

This is actually two goats making love, by the way. Not appropriate. It's the only goat sound effect I could find. Stop. Bring that down. It's weird. Okay, okay, okay. If goats aren't your thing, how about bees?

Not technically animals, but very cute. A Marsden-based company is looking for a... When are they cute? When they're stinging you? No, when they're pollinating flowers and making honey. Yeah, or when you're not terrified for your life. Stop perpetuating a negative stereotype around bees. We need bees.

I love bees, just wouldn't call them cute. They are cute. They're like fluffy. So would you hold a bee? Would you cuddle a bee? No, but if I did this job, possibly. They're looking for a honey extraction labourer. You need to be able to lift 30 kgs of honey to waist height repetitively.

And this job is in the $83,000 average salary bracket. Yeah, because you could die. You could not die. My dad used to hire beehives to put in our apple tree farm. Yeah. So that they'd pollinate all the apple trees. And no joke, he would come back head to toe covered in bee sting.

Well, he needs a bee suit, okay? He was wearing one. Oh, okay. We need to bid a bee suit. Your dad's probably wearing a short sleeve bee suit. Probably. Two more jobs. Let me get through them quickly.

There's someone who has a clean driver's license and a willingness to work in the afternoons. That's me. Could be Napier's animal ambulance driver for the SPCA. I would love that job. So you drive emergency dogs or I guess anything. Actually, I don't know if I would like that. Yeah, you're not transporting them in happy moments.

No. Down to the SPCA in Napier. That'd be quite hard. That job is also in the $68,000 pay bracket on SEEK. What training do you need? You need a clean driver's licence and a willingness to work in the afternoons. That's it?

You're not operating on them. You're driving the van, okay? They're not the vet. What if I need to do the emergency defib or something? No, you're driving the van, okay? And the last job that is currently available on Seek in New Zealand that we have to tell you about today is an Auckland-based company called Fetch who is looking for a professional dog walker

for just under full-time hours. So your almost full-time job could be walking other people's dogs. Oh, I'd love that. You need to have a full driver's license. Yep, got it. You need to love dogs. Got it. And you need to have a good level of fitness.

Okay. Bree and Clint. I had a very confronting conversation with a guy that I just met on the weekend. Oh, yeah? What are you doing in my house? He said to you. What's your name and why are you naked? Anyway, no, it was a guy that I met at this party

and I was chatting to him about his grey hairs. Oh, yeah. Which is quite rude, but he kind of brought it up. I was going to say, do you bring it up or he bring it up? He kind of did and then I was chatting to him about it. Define kinder. I said. He said, do you like my hair?

And you go, it's a bit grey. Yeah, so he brought it up. No, I can't remember how we started talking about it, but I said, oh, how old were you? Because he was fully grey and he looked really young. But I said, oh, how old were you when you obviously started going grey? And he said, oh, I probably, you know, started going grey when I was about 20 and I was fully grey by 22.

Whoa. Which I'm like, that's pretty young. Yeah. Like real young, actually. I know young guys who have like grey patches and stuff like that. Salt and pepper. But to be full Snowy River by the age of 22, kind of cool. Like it's a real like differentiating characteristic, right?

Yeah, it really suited him. And then I thought about like Richard Gere was one of those people. Richard Gere from the 90s? From Pretty Woman. Oh, okay. He was really like grey, white. I think he's grey. I'm pretty sure it's grey when he was really young.

I'm not familiar with his early stuff. You're not familiar with Pretty Woman? Oh, I know about it. I can tell you what it's about. I'm so sick of you never have seen any of these iconic films. I'm going to tell you what it's about. I could tell you what it's about. What's it about? A pretty woman.

Is it not? Is it not? Don't you offend Julia Roberts. Trust me, that is not the full storyline But is that a key part of the story? Is it? No it's another word that starts with P and we'll move on

Anyway I was talking to him about I reckon I can remember when I was 26 I found my first grey hair 26 I found my first grey hair Do you remember when you found your first grey?. 26. 26, I found my first grey hair. Do you remember when you found your first grey? I believe I was around 27, 28.

And grey hair runs in my family. Like my dad's grey. Does it? Yeah. Most old people go grey. Do they? Yeah. I thought it was like a family thing.

It was like a genetic thing. I think that was one of the dumbest things you've ever... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grey hair runs in my family. My granddad went grey. My dad, he's going grey. Yeah, because they're old. Yeah, all right. I'll take that one on the chin.

I thought, I thought, I thought maybe more some families, like Richard Gere's family, you're more susceptible to grey hairs. Yeah, from a young age. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. Like my dad was pretty grey in his 40s. Is that pretty standard? Oh, then I don't care.

I don't know. No, anyway, so grey hair runs in your family. Yeah. But that's not too bad. I mean, you're not hardly grey at all now. No. You can't really tell. You go when you find your first one.

Was it Producer Ben that you said, oh, you're getting a few greys the other day? It was you. You said't really tell. When you find your first one. Was it Producer Ben that you said, oh, you're getting a few greys the other day? It was you. You said it to Ellie and you plucked it out of her head. That's all right, Ellie. You said, let me pull it, let me pull it. And Ellie was having a bit of a quarter-life crisis about that. Yes, I was.

No, you knew that they were there. You had one of those long, wiry ones. I know, it was horrific. And then you pointed it out and now I know everyone can see it No hey well that's why I was trying to be a good friend Thank you Don't pull them out Can I say that?

Don't pull them out Just live with it Own it No No it's part of you It's part of you now Nah I'm pulling it out Just be who you be dog

No hell no I'm pulling it out And if I find them You'll end up having to pull out all your hair That's why I got full laser on my downstairs because now I don't know if I'm getting grazed down there or not. So I'll live in bliss and I'll never know. It was like a metallic magic

carpet down there. I'm now a person that's never going to get grazed downstairs because I've got it full lasered off. You know it comes back, hey? Yeah, but I mean I'm just going to keep getting it. So it never will come back. Are you going to get it on your head too?

Are you going to laser your head on your grey hairs? No. I reckon getting it downstairs is worse than getting it on the upstairs. Yeah, of course it is. But oh, the greys. No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. Would you rather have it on the upstairs or the downstairs?

Well, I'd like the carpet to match the drapes eventually. What, you want salt and pepper all around? Yeah, why not? Why not? Why not? It could suit me down there. Yeah. It could be nice.

It could suit you. It could be like contrast. You know, like the difference in colour could make other things really pop. Yeah, but where things are grey, things are also wrinkly. So I don't know about that. I want to know from you guys on 0800DIALZM, how early did you go grey? Yeah.

And I'm talking like not just a couple of grey hairs like sprinkled around. Like are you someone that went grey really early? Mm-hmm. Can I ask a sub-question to your question? So I'm going to call you on to answer that one Like you're a young grey person Where did you find your first one?

That's just my sub-question And have you found them in a worse place? Yeah 0800 dials it in Or you can text us on 9696 Yes you can How early did you go grey? We want to know

You can dob someone else in too. It's not a bad thing. Maybe it was in your family. Yeah. Bree and Clint. Has the grey got you? Was it early that you went grey? How early?

You've been visited by the grey goose. Literally. We're talking about how early it was for you when you went grey because I met a guy on the weekend who he went grey, he said started about 20, fully grey by 22. And he actually looked great because he was a guy. No, you, no. And you were not, no.

No. No. No. You were being sexist. No, I'm not. I'm being honest. You were like, oh, the girls should just let it go and live their life and have great, no. Yeah, I'm providing. I'm being honest. You were like, oh, the girls should just let it go and live their life and have great.

No. Yeah, I'm providing a body positive message. No, because you're a dude and you guys can pull it off. It pisses me off. Guys look great with grey hair. So do girls. They look great, salt and pepper. So do girls.

Look at Helen Mirren. She's 80 or roundabout. I just believe that you should just be who you are. What a load of crap. What a load of PC bull crap. I'm promoting positive body messages. You're full of crap. And I think you should leave it alone and you should endorse it.

Really? So you're saying me as a 30-year-old, if I got full grey hair, my hair's quite dark, I should leave it? 100% I'd support you. Can you imagine if I turned around and said to you, oh, girl, yuck, you need to get some hair dye on your wicker bush. And I would say thank you. I appreciate your honesty.

You would not. You would not. No, I actually want to look 30 and not 48. I don't think there's anything wrong with grey hair. I just think. You don't want to look 30. You want to look 26. Yeah, well, that's true.

I think men look sexier and females, we look older. It's true. Let's talk to some people, okay? We're asking you how old were you when you went grey. Sam, hi. G'day, mate. How's it going? Good.

Back me up, Sam. Women look fantastic grey, don't they? They do. There's plenty of women out there that are dying their hair grey these days for the look. Yeah, what about Billie Eilish? No, no, no. It looks good. It looks good. I support it. My wife died her hair grey for a while. It was good.

Come on. Thanks, Sam. You're a true feminist like me. How old were you when you went grey? 17 when I started going grey. I was salt and pepper for ages, but I was fully grey by the time I was 27. And do you think that's a genetic thing? Like was your dad

like that? Yeah. Yeah, he was grey at a young age as well. I don't know if it was as young as me but it was pretty young. He was full grey as well. I reckon it looked good. Did the ladies love it? Did the ladies love it on you, Sam? Yeah, my wife loves it. Yeah, because guys look great. He looks like a distinguished gentleman.

I agree. I did not say guys don't look good. Don't you put your sexist words in my mouth. Linda's here. Hey, Linda. Hi. Linda, what do you think? Yeah, I would say guys do look good with it.

Women, it does make us look old. Yep. Linda, thank you so much for another female opinion on this. I've never seen a guy With grey hair though And gone man That really takes years off you I think it distinguishes everybody

I'm just saying That I think that's a good thing You know what I just want you to be honest For once And if you If anyone listening right now Could see Clint's face

He's so sarcastic I'm not sarcastic I just love how much It's winding you up Linda how young were you When you started going grey Sixteen Sixteen Linda And was your mum the same Your mum and dad Either or I just love how much it's winding you up. Linda, how young were you when you started going grey? 16. 16, Linda.

And was your mum the same, your mum and dad, either or? My mum was, and all four of my siblings also started going white at 16. Wow. So did you go grey or did you go white? White. I am almost pure white now. Wow. And did you have a supportive person in your life back then like me

who encouraged you just to, you know, be who you were and embrace it? I embraced it until I turned about 30 and then I started colouring it. And did you feel better, Linda? Oh, I did do, but I stopped colouring it again about five years ago and I've embraced it and I've had so many compliments. Oh, well, good for you, Linda. Good on you, Linda. Jasmine's here as well.

Hi, Jasmine. Hi, Jasmine. Hello, hello. How are we? Good. How are you? I'm good, thank you. When did you go grey, Jasmine?

Oh, completely mortifying, but 13. 13 was when somebody in my class pointed it out. It was mortifying, but 13. 13 was when somebody in my class pointed it out. It was mortifying. Wow. And why do they think that is? Because of your genetics? Oh, actually, I'm not 100% off. Probably genetics, yeah.

I lost all my hair when I was 18, and then when it grew back, it grew back all white. Wow. No way. Is that like a form of alopecia? Yeah, definitely alopecia. Did you lose all your other hair? Did you lose your eyebrows and eyelashes and stuff as well?

So eyebrows, yes, but eyelashes and downstairs. Yeah. Like nothing. Yeah, it's still normal. Yeah, wow. And so did that grow back as well? Yeah, so my head here is white, but it's a stayed white. And then kind of the other hair that's grown back

has grown back kind of a brownie colour. I don't mean to probe you or anything here, but you should go into a lab and get tested. There's a study that could be done on you. It sounds really interesting. Thanks, I think. It was a bit cruel, wasn't it? Yeah.

Yeah, all right. Thanks for calling up, Jasmine. I meant she's fascinating. I'd love to know what Like to lose all your hair And then it all come back A different colour It's radical right

Listen to the front page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint. Something that I didn't realise that isn't, it's just starting to gain traction here in New Zealand, I think, is bubble tea.

Yeah, I'm seeing it more and more, bubble tea places. Yeah, on the weekend, I was with a couple of mates and they were like, oh, should we get one of those bubble teas? And I'm like, oh, they've been around for a while, but they're just starting to become popular here. I think they're just starting to become mainstream. They've been very popular with the Asian community in New Zealand for a long time.

Well, you know they're one of the most popular drinks in China, I'm pretty sure. And have been for years and years and years. But there's this story out today that they're warning people that there's a teenage boy that was actually hospitalized after his colon became blocked with two hard stones. Is that what is in bubble tea? I've never had a bubble tea. Bubble tea, the things that they put in it, and if you haven't seen it before, there's like a big straw in it,

and they put these things called pearls, and they're tapioca pearls. So that's what the balls are at the bottom of it. Yeah, exactly, and you eat them. Like you're meant to chew them. Do they not pop in the drink? No. You suck them up the straw. They're kind of like a chewy ball.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. So you actually chew on them. That sounds yum. Yeah. I mean, it's not for me. Anyway, this kid apparently did not chew the balls. He just swallowed them whole.

I mean, I've had that issue before, haven't we all? Just suck them straight down. Yeah, you don't suck balls straight down. You would know that if you're a regular bubble tea drinker. But someone who did have a bubble tea on the weekend, who I think needs a warning, is my mate Alan. Oh, okay. Yeah.

So I feel like we should call him. You want to check on his colon? I just want to check on his colon, see if he's been, you know, a bit backed up. Yeah, all right. Give him a buzz. All right. I'm going to call him off my phone so he thinks it's a genuine call. By the way, you are terrifying the bubble tea community.

I know. I'm so sorry. Bree? Alan? Yeah. Hey, I just read a really alarming article that you should probably read. Oh, God. What is it?

It's about bubble tea. Oh, I have read that. Yeah. Did you read what happened to that kid? What is it? It's about bubble tea. Oh, I have read that. Yeah, did you read what happened to that kid? No, not the kid, but I did see something. Let me bring it up. It's a teenage boy that apparently drank a bubble tea. And so question, do you chew the tapioca balls when you drink bubble tea?

Yeah, I do. I'm one of those freaks who chews on everything. Yeah, you love good nor on stuff don't you oh i do especially you honey um so my question right now my question for you is that he had to go to the hospital because he was so constipated because all the bubble teas um formed together in his colon oh no oh are you serious i'm dead serious. Have you read the article? Oh, no, I didn't read that part of it, but I'm just saying I did go to the bathroom before and I'm definitely not constipated.

So I'm not suffering. Excellent. That's all I needed to know. Just wanted to check on your colon. Sounds like it's working fine. It is. It is. All right.

Bye. Well, good, I guess. Well, I'm glad he's okay. Yeah. But a good warning for the rest of the bubble tea community. Chew your balls. Chew your balls. Bree and Clint.

Time to play the Insta Fame Game. Oh, my God. I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's such a bitch. It's time for Bree and Clint's Insta Fame Game. Play's such a vet. It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta-fame game. Play this game every week. It's so popular it's been picked up by overseas radio stations,

Humblebrag. I know. And one of the best shows in Australia has picked it up. What we do is we try and guess how many Instagram followers famous people have. Yeah, that's right. And the closest to the number wins a point. First to three, producer Ellie has all the celebrities.

Hi, producer Ellie. Hello. So the score is 1-0 to Clint for the year. Clint actually got all three right last week, bro. That show was a pantsy. It was. But your first one for today, she's just launched her own cooking show,

Cooking with Paris. How many Instagram followers does Paris Hilton have? Oh, that's difficult. The original social media star. Yeah, she is the original influencer. She is. She would have... All right, for Paris Hilton, Clint, you've put 10.3.

Brie, you've put 16 million. Paris Hilton has 11.5 million. So that's a point to Clint. Isn't that incredible? I mean, that's nothing to be laughed at, 11 million. But considering she was more famous than Kim Kardashian once. Yeah, but she wasn't around at the height of Instagram, was she? No.

She wasn't at her peak fame when Instagram was pumping. No, she was before it. Yeah, she was just before it. Yeah, right. Totally., right. Totally. All right. This Kiwi guy, he's had six Oscar nominations for his film Jojo Rabbit. Taika Waititi, how many followers does he have?

Taika, Taika, Taika. He runs quite a tight Instagram too. Yeah, he does. He'll put up a good photo of him and Chris Hemsworth. Well, obviously you follow him. I've never seen it. All right. For Taika Waititi.

Clint, you said he's got 500,000 Instagram followers. Brie, you've said 161,000. Taika Waititi has 1.2 million. So that is a point to Brie. Is that right? No, that's a point to Clint. What did you write? 670?

No, I wrote 161. Oh, sorry. I thought it said 600. Sorry, that's a point to Clint. What did you write? 670? No, I wrote 161. Oh, sorry. I thought it said 600. Sorry, that's a point to Clint. I mean, yeah, if you want to get me the point, that's fine with me. Good on Taika, cracking a million. Well done. There you go.

Okay, your third one. She's just won the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series at the SAG Awards for her part in The Morning Show. It's Jennifer Aniston. And she just recently joined kind of Instagram. And kind of broke Instagram when she joined as well.

That was crazy. Alright, for Jennifer Aniston, Clint, you put 6 million. Brie, you put 27 million. Jennifer Aniston has 24.7 million. Wow. That is so many. She broke the has 24.7 million. Wow. That is so many. She broke the record for fastest to a million followers.

Yeah, and then she broke the record in a week. I think she had 7 million followers in a week. Yeah, yeah. Damn it. Crazy. Okay. All right, your fourth celeb. He's currently playing at the Aussie Open.

Legend, Roger Federer. Oh, the Fed. The Fed. Roger Federer. The king. The goat. He, the Fed. The Fed. Roger Federer. The king. The goat. He's the Swiss one, eh?

Not the headband one. Are you taking the piss? Are you serious? No, I'm just clearing it up. I'm just clearing it up. Are you? No, don't give him hints like that. He should know who Roger Federer is. I'm more of a Serena Williams man.

Are you kidding me? I'm more of a Serena man than a... Roger Federer. Yeah. He's the Serena Williams man. Are you kidding me? I'm more of a Serena man than a... Roger Federer. Yeah. He's the guy who drinks the mullet, right? He's just a champagne guy. Taken the piss. Well, if you love him so much, you better win this point.

Yes, well. All right. For Roger Federer, Clint, you've put $4 million. Bree, you've put $14 million. Roger Federer has $7.1 million. So that's a game to Clint. No. Oh, yeah.

Sorry, bro. I was right that time. Hey, to be honest. Now who knows the Fed? To be honest, to be honest, I won that game because I know who actually Roger Federer is. It's not the Roger Federer game. You're like, who's that guy that picks his bum? No, I got it right, didn't I?

I got it right, didn't I? I said he's the Swedish one. He's the... Yeah, yeah. Not the headband one. No, that's the headband one. Raphael Nadal. Nice.

He's got it. Raphael. He's such a sporty man. Now, look, you've probably seen the photo that was taken backstage He's such a sporty man. Brianne Clint. Now, look, you've probably seen the photo that was taken backstage yesterday at the 65th Screen Actors Guild Awards of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, and they're holding hands. Well, she's kind of walking away and Brad's kind of holding her hand. It looks like a warm embrace.

It looks intimate. Doesn't it? It looks familiar and It looks like a warm embrace. It looks intimate. Doesn't it? It looks familiar and it looks like what everybody wants right now, a reunion between the two hottest stars in the world. Well, because you and I were talking about this yesterday. Are they both single at the moment? I believe so. They are.

God, you'd have to hope so. The amount of chat going around. Imagine if you're Jennifer Aniston. God damn it. Jen Aniston. God damn it. Jen Aniston. Imagine if you're Rachel from Friends Boyfriend

and everyone's going, oh my God, get back with Brad. And you're like, what am I? What? Hello, I'm right here. I'm right here.

So I'm pretty sure she's single. Yeah, because there's a video of Brad also watching because they both won, she won Best Actress for The Morning Show and he won Best Actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I think. Best Supporting Actor, I think.

Best Supporting Actor. They both won awards and there's a video of him backstage watching her acceptance speech and he looks just like all warm and fuzzy and he's smiling. So people are like discussing, is there, you know, a rekindle, a rekindleship? I don't know. Is that a word?

Rekindlement. Rekindlement? Rekindle-an. Rekindlethon. Rekindlethon. With Jennifer Renner-Morstan-Ren. Is there? Is it on the horizon?

Because I asked you after that, I was like, okay, well, that's fine. What actually happened with their relationship in the first place? So, obviously, it was a very public breakup. He left her after filming Mr and Mrs Smith with Angelina Jolie. They weren't a couple before they filmed that movie. They denied they were a couple after the movie was released. And then, what do you know, they ended up as a couple. And I think they had 14 kids?

Yeah, well, they had a lot of kids. But from what I've read, obviously Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston were together for a long time. Were they married? Yes, they were married. Okay. And Brad met Angelina Jolie on set and he has said before that he believes he fell in love with Angelina Jolie on set

of the movie Mr and and Mrs. Smith, right? But he still claims that nothing actually happened between them. Yeah. But, I mean, if you've fallen in love with someone, you know. She did an interview saying she did a scene wearing no necks on Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Yeah, but maybe. On purpose. Yeah, but that's from her side.

To make Brad claim he in the pits. Yeah, but he might have done nothing. But, so this is what I've read online. So apparently Jen Aniston filed for divorce in January of 2005-ish. Yeah. Then it went through in October of 2005. And Brad and Angelina had their first baby in May of 2006. Right.

So there's a lot of history. Yeah. There's a lot of history. It didn't go down well. It's a messy breakup that played out very, very publicly. They didn't talk for a long time. And somehow we've all just forgotten about that. And now we're all like, get back together, you're so cute.

One picture together last night, which I don't mean to shatter anyone's illusions too. You know the image that we've all seen where they're holding each other? Yes. Have you seen the actual video of the moment that, which I don't mean to shatter anyone's illusions too. You know the image that we've all seen where they're holding each other? Yes. Have you seen the actual video of the moment that that's taken from? It happens in less than a second.

Oh, right. They're passing each other and she reaches out to kind of acknowledge him. Still, it looks warm. Like a glance. Yeah. And he sort of reaches

to touch her hand to acknowledge it as well. And the whole thing, neither of them stops walking. So it's not quite as intimate as it looks. Look, it's all rumours at this point, but what I want to discuss is could it work? If they get back together, could it actually work?

Well, no, because they're both very famous and no one stays together in Hollywood. Yeah, put that aside. I'm saying the part of they had this amazing relationship, they were married. Look, who knows what really happened? Something horrible happened. It seems like he cheated, whatever.

But years later, and this is a long time later, over 10 years, could they get back together and could they actually be in love again? I don't know. Are there any real world examples out there of this happening? Well, this is... Like, you're not famous. No. But maybe you're listening to us now and you had one of these,

a messy, messy breakup, and everyone ended up finding out the details. And it all came out. All the laundry was out. And then years and years later, maybe you both had relationships. Maybe you both had your own thing, but years later you reconnected. You came back together and it worked. And did it work?

Well, maybe it didn't work. Maybe you're like, let's give this another go. And it was just a flaming pile of... Well, that too. Yeah, yeah. That too, that's an example. Okay, well, let's see what we got out there. Give us a call.

Maybe you're a real life Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston story. Yeah, what happened? A messy breakup and everyone's a part of it and then years later, water under the bridge, you decide to give it another go. What happened? Yeah, 0800DIALZM will take you stories and you can also text us on 9696.

Good stories. We've got some mobile fuel vouchers to give away this afternoon too. 0800DIALZM. Bree and Clint. It's the photos that was stopping the world yesterday. Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, embracing, smiling at each other. We've got nothing else going on in our lives, eh? Literally nothing else.

Oh, my God, please tell us what's going on with your relationship, people that we've never met. I love both of those actors so much, though. And, I mean, everyone knows that story. They've been the most prominent people I think stars on our screens for our generation. We were with them through Friends, through Fight Club, through all those movies and you just you just want to know what's going on deep down right? Yeah and I mean everyone knows the story about what happened with him and Angelina and then

Jennifer Aniston was devastated then she got with. And anyway, they're both single now. The photos have come out. Could they rekindle the relationship? Could it work? Similar story happened to one of my friend's parents. Their story is so interesting because they met in high school as high school sweethearts. And then they were in love, completely in love. And then he decided he wanted to go off and do his own thing and date other people and, you know, grow as a person. And so he went off and did that and she went off and did the same thing and they both ended up getting married to different people. They both had a kid with those people.

And then they both got divorced from those people and they reconnected 15 years later. Yeah. And then they had a divorced from those people and they reconnected 15 years later. Yeah. And then they had a child together and got married and have been together ever since. And did they break up each other's marriages to get back together? I don't think so. I think they were already broken up.

Did they have a messy breakup originally? Yes. They did? Yeah. Right. So it can work. Maybe. We're taking some stories from people on that as well this afternoon.

Paul's here. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Hi, Paul. How you doing? Did this happen to you, Paul? Yes, I was with my girlfriend, but I was working two jobs, and she was around at the flat and getting close contact with my flatmate. Oh.

Messy breakup. She took off with him, and about eight years later, we reconnected. Still single and have now been married for 14 years with a 12-year-old daughter. You're joking. So you guys, your story actually parallels the Brad and Jennifer Anderson story. Except for the eight children they've only had.

Yeah, but we've got one better and we've actually got together again where Brad and Gia haven't yet. Not yet, no. Well, that's true, but you could be the writing on the wall for them. Paul, we're road testing it, mate. We'll let them know if it can work after we've done our research and you can vouch for the fact

that even if someone has cheated and it's been a messy-ass breakup, it can still work. Yeah. Yeah, but I keep reminding her of it every now and then. When you don't get your way. Hey, Rachel. Hi, Rachel.

Hey, how are you? Rachel, you didn't happen to be in a relationship with a guy called Ross, did you? I did not, but it's a similar story. Is it? Tell us. Well, we were in school and college together and of course we were quite young then. We dated for a year

and then I found out that he had, of course, his other flings here and there. But then it was quite early for us, so we just parted ways. And 10 years later, we met on Facebook. I learned that he was in New Zealand. And coincidentally, I was getting my papers ready to come to New Zealand without knowing that he is here.

And we met up in Oakland and we got together. I was a bit skeptical, but then I thought, I'll just give it a try. And now we're married five years. We have a two-and-a-half-year-old. Wow. And Rachel, I've got to ask the question, are there any other flings still going on? I hope not.

It better not be. No, the question everyone wants to ask Rachel is, were you on a break? Was I on a break? No, he was. He was, clearly. Rach, can I actually ask you an honest question? So your family probably found out the reason you broke up originally, did they?

No, it's still a top secret. Oh, well then that makes it easier. That makes it a lot easier. Because I imagine if you're... When you were in high school then, you were doing dirty things with family, right? Yeah, true. It's just way harder to bring him back around to meet Dad again if Dad knows that he's done the dirty on you the first time around.

Everyone says their real opinion. They're like, I always hated that guy, blah, blah, blah, and then you get back together with him and it's very awkward. One more person wants to remain anonymous. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hi, guys. How are you?

Good. How are you? Yeah, good. Thank you. Did this happen to you? Yeah, good. Thank you. Did this happen to you? Yeah, similar kind of situation. Me and my boyfriend, we were quite young, and we went to different unis. We broke up.

It was pretty messy, kind of like just everyone kind of seeing other people. But every time we were, like, back in the same town, we would still rekindle. And then about a year and a half later... I know what you're talking about, Anonymous. Yeah, a year and a half later, I found out that he had another girlfriend the whole time. Oh! Double life!

Okay. Yeah, and then five years later, we met up again in the same town, just like through mutual friends. And now we live together, very happy, and have been together for about two and a half years. I love you, Anonymous. I've never met you before, and I love you, but you are a sucker.

I know. Maybe. This man has taken you for – I'm sure he's on the straight and narrow now, but he has taken you on a ride for about a decade. Has anybody said that to you yet? Oh, trust me, I've had some interesting people in between that time. Wow. Yeah, I bet.

Okay. Clearly, all of these stories, I still don't have any reason to text any of my exes, I don't think. No, nothing's made you want to? No. What about the fact you're already in a relationship now? That's a good point. Last question, Anonymous.

Do you think that Jennifer Aniston, do you think that Brad deserves another chance if she takes him back? I think Jennifer's way too good for Brad. Always has been. Oh! There you go. There you go.

All right. She's a complicated conversation when it comes to love, but watch this space, I think, when it comes to those two. It'll be very interesting to see what happens. Brie and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's Birthday Banger.

Daddy, dancing in the moonlight Take me down like I'm a domino ZM, Bree and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger today is not Casey Chambers. Not pretty enough. It's Jessie J and Domino. What has Jessie J done recently other than Channing Tatum? She broke up with Channing Tatum, didn't she? Got a year.

I think she's still a host on The Voice UK. Is she? Yeah, because isn't that one of the issues with their relationship is they had to spend half their time in London and half their time in LA. Yeah, but what's the last song she released into the world? Oh, crikey. Was it Bang Bang? Is that what the song was called?

Bang. With Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj? And Nicki Minaj. Surely she's done music since then. I don't know. I don't think so. I don't know. No, this was the first album.

This was the first song, yeah. It's a Jessie J. Brie and Clint. Something real weird that I did when I was home for the holidays was I went and visited my old school. I do this. Whenever I'm home I do the exact same thing. I don't know why I'd want to go back to that place.

Because you've got all your memories there. Yeah, there is a lot of memories. For me, the minute I go back onto my old school grounds. Nostalgic. Yeah, someone comes out and goes, hey, what are you doing here old man? No, but also, the memories come flooding back. Oh my god, I did this here and this here. It's the best time of your life. That's where I hid to skip that class one time.

All those memories. And one thing I noticed when I was driving through my old school was there's this board of like what teachers work there and it's a bit about them and stuff. And I was like, oh, I wonder what teachers are still here from when I was here. And there was quite a few, which I was surprised at because they had to teach me.

But there was one particular teacher who was my year 12 coordinator. Her name was Miss Jamison. And I remember her vividly because she said to me, I think it was like a couple of days before I left the school, she goes, you know what? She goes, you're one of the most annoying students I've ever had. But you're also one of the funniest, and that's why it's going to be very hard to forget you.

It's good to see nothing's changed with you in 13 years. Shut up! No, it's just a fairly accurate summation of you. Anyway, I said to her, I was like, I'll hold you to that, and it made me remember it, and I thought now that we've got a radio show, we should call her on this show and see if she remembers me. Well, she said she'll never forget you.

She said it would be very hard. So let's see if she remembers me. Well, she said she'll never forget you. She said it would be very hard. So let's see if she has forgotten you. Okay. Hello? Is that Bronwyn Jemison? Yes. I've never called you Bronwyn because I'm actually a past student of yours. Are you just?

Who are you? I am. Look, I'm going to tell you something that you said to me. It was probably the week that I was leaving in grade 12. Yeah. And I want to see if it rings any bells for you. Right. I sat down with you, Bronwyn, and you said to me that I was probably one of the most

annoying students you've ever had in your years of teaching. Truly. But I was also, in your opinion, one of the funniest and it was going to be very hard for you to forget me because of those two reasons. Do you have any idea who I am? No, I don't. No, I don't.

No. All right, I'll give you a few hints. I'll give you a few hints. I would have graduated in 2006. Right. I would have been in your biology class for two years. Right. It's coming back a long time.

Okay, well, no need to throw shade. I'm not going to hurt your feelings, I'm sorry. Do you remember any students with the first name Bree? Yes. Do you remember the last name of any students with the first name Bree? No. My radio co-host is here, Bronwyn, because that's what I do. I'm on the radio right now, aren't I?

Hi, Ms. Jemison. Hi, Ms. Jemison. How are you? Yeah, good. It's just your past student visited the school over the Christmas break, saw your picture there on the wall, was like, oh, my God, I can't believe Ms. Jemison's still there. I remember you very well. I'm really sorry.

She said she told me she'd never forget me. So what I need to know from you, Ms. Jamison, is that a line you just trot out for all the girls? Not at all. No, not at all. Not at all. So how do you not? I don't remember saying that.

I would never tell a student that they were the most annoying student that I'd ever had. Oh, no, I was pretty annoyed. I think this one you might. It was warranted, Ms. Jamison. I'm going to pepper you with a couple more facts of her life now. I didn't know her back then, but I think these are fairly enduring characteristics. She's very sporty.

She would have probably played softball while she was at your school. Bring anything to light? No. No? She's terrible. No? Okay. I need to go and get the school review and have a look. Did you have that nose piercing when you were at school?

No, I didn't have this. Also, Miss Jamison, something you hated, but I always used to love to use the word placenta in your class. Oh, my God. I don't remember. The poor woman's got nothing. She's got absolutely nothing. Okay, let's see.

If I say my full name. This is the last straw. This is the last one. I might have to lie and say, yes, I remember you. One of my best friends was Beck Wally and my name. She knows Beck Wally. I remember Beck Wally. She was really good at softball.

God damn it. What the hell? So you remember her? Now, yeah, if you give me your surname, let's see. Bree Thomasel. Bree Thomasel. She hasn't got let's see. Brie Thomasel. Brie Thomasel. She hasn't got you at all. I do remember the name, but I can't put a face to it.

Beck bloody Wally, but not me. I'm so sorry. I'm devastated. I'm so sorry that I didn't remember you, Brie. I'm so sorry. I'll tell Beck Wally that you said hello because you clearly remember her. I do remember her. I don't know why. Oh, stop rubbing it in. Sorry. I'll tell Beck Wally that you said hello because you clearly remember her. I do remember her. I don't know why.

Oh, stop rubbing it in. Sorry. I don't know why. She was a good softballer, but you were obviously very good too. I was average. All right. Well, there you go, Miss Jamison. Thank you very much.

See you later. Bye now. She has absolutely no idea who you are. Not one clue. Bree and Clint. This time last week, if you were listening, you may have listened to us play a game called Forehead Hickey Roulette. A game where I stupidly gave myself a hickey in the middle of my forehead.

Look, it seems to be the theme for my year that this keeps happening to me. Over Christmas, I accidentally gave myself a forehead hickey there by playing with a windscreen shade suction cup. Yeah, sure. That's what it was from. It was because you saw it happen in here. And I thought, oh, this will be fun. I'll get the team to give it a go.

And we stuck it on Ben's forehead for two and a half minutes. And it didn't seem to work. Look, mate, if you're into some weird stuff. No, we put it on your forehead. Didn't work. No hickey. We put it on Ali's forehead. No hickey.

So I feel like you came up with that story to make an excuse for how you got the hickey, but I'm thinking you're into some weird stuff. Well, if I was, you'd know about it because it turns out I hickey like a peach. You do hickey like a peach. Ten seconds on my forehead. There's actually a video of it on

our Instagram page. The hickey was back. I've been researching this. I've been trying to figure out. It's older skin, isn't it? No, it on our Instagram page. The hickey was back. I've been researching this. I've been trying to figure out. It's older skin, isn't it? No, it's not older skin. Thank you very much. You're so rude. No, I googled, why do some people hickey easier than others? Can I have

one guess? Yeah, you can have a guess. Is it circulation? Kind of. This is what Google says, that some people like me are more susceptible to hickeys. It says this can be for a number of reasons such as having weaker blood vessels, thinner blood or vitamin deficiencies. None of this is good. No, not a single one of those is good.

It says according to the doctors, people with thinner or more sensitive skin also, for obvious reasons, ends up with hickeys much easier than others. So I've got thin skin, thin blood, bad blood vessels and a vitamin deficiency. Because none of us, all three of us in here, apart from you, me, producer Ellie, producer Ben, none of us got a hickey from it. No. So I thought we could do another test this afternoon. No. Can you come suck on my neck? Look, I've sucked on your finger.

I've licked your eyeball. I think this is where I... Please, if you're my friend, you'll suck my neck. I know. This is where... My wife and my kid are out of town for the week. No. The hickey that I had on my forehead faded within three to five days.

I just feel sweaty. So I just want to see because I've never No! The hickey that I had on my forehead faded within three to five days. I just feel sweaty. I just want to see because I've never had a mouth hickey before. No, I'm drawing the line. I can't do that. Okay, good. That was the correct answer to that question. You passed. No, I just wanted to show you one more thing. This hickey that won't leave me alone. I told

you I gave it to myself on Christmas Eve. Yes. And all my photos with my beautiful new baby daughter on her first Christmas, I have a hickey in the centre of my forehead, which is fine for my own personal records. It's there. I'll explain it to her as she grows up. Over the weekend, a picture of me appeared in the New Zealand Herald,

the weekend Herald, a nationally distributed newspaper, the biggest newspaper in the country. And what can you see on that picture of me in the middle of my forehead? You've got a hickey. I've got a hickey in the middle of my goddamn forehead, and now it's in the newspaper forever. And it's on their website. Look at that.

That's all right. It's okay. I just feel like when I published it on my Instagram, I couldn't do anything about it. They're a newspaper. Couldn't they have Photoshopped that out for me? Seriously. People are just going to think you're into Fifty Shades of Grey.

If you're a new listener to the Bree and Clint show in 2020, know my heart and welcome to the show. One thing you probably already know about us because, I mean, we have a reputation even outside of radio circles for being the number one show for maritime and aviation-based news. We did win that award at the Radio Awards last year. I mean, I would love to step out by a game this year in the rail news. You'd like to do some rail news as well?

I'd love to do some rail news because I think it gets neglected. Absolutely, it gets neglected. Because, I mean, we're getting – There's a gap in the market. Yeah, we're getting a new rail system here in Auckland. Yeah. Which, I mean, we could... Slowly but surely.

...talk about that. Yeah, we could talk about that. I mean, what other rail systems? We don't have any at the moment. It's a great idea. Just keep that in mind for the future. Today, though, we do have some aviation news. Of course we do.

We never have any other times. We never have any maritime news. It's never maritime or rail news. I've got maritime news for tomorrow, actually. I've got some backed up. But today I would like to transport you all the way to Mexico. Where they have a

new president. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. I thought they've got cool names. Don't they? He's the new president. And he's decided that one of the first things he's going to do in fact he announced this on his first day in office. He's getting rid of

the Mexican presidential jet. Why? Because he says that, it's like their version of Air Force One. I was going to say that's what the American Presidents is called. Yeah, yeah. He believes it was purchased by the previous president who was corrupt.

He says he wasted money on all kinds of things, including this very, very lavish brand new, I think it's a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Here's a little bit of details about the plane. Want to buy a luxurious presidential plane? Mexico's will soon be up for grabs. He said Mexico would also sell all the helicopters, in his words, that the corrupt politicians used. Camera crews were invited to see the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The spacious interior is emblazoned with official government seals. The plane has a presidential bedroom and what looks like a marble-lined bathroom. The $218 million jet is one of 60

government planes and 70 helicopters that will be sold. It's a very nice plane. Yeah, it looks nice. I'm just looking online. And you're going, oh, Clint, I mean, fine. I can't afford a Boeing 787. We can definitely not afford that. The Mexican president has said he's willing to raffle the plane off.

Okay. He's saying, just to move it, because it's a very specific type of plane, just to move it, he's looking at selling raffle tickets for $25 a ticket, and he would like to sell 6 million tickets. So wait, how much would that make him? $150 million. Is that how much a plane's worth? I guess he's worked it out.

Roundabouts. He's not corrupt, this one, so he'll just be looking to get the money back. Yeah, this sounds full above board. For $25, though, you could end up with a Boeing 787. Yeah, 6 million people. Well, 5 million, how many and how many will miss out? And one person will get the point. Don't worry about the odds, mate.

This is what you talk about with Lotto, too. You're like, the odds are stacked against you. If you don't play, you can't win. If you don't play, you can't win. Oh, I'm keen to play. There is an issue in that it costs quite a lot to not just run, but also store a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. That is a great point. So he has said that he's willing to throw in a year's free operating time

just in case you can't afford the jet when you win it. So this is what you do. You buy a $25 raffle ticket for the Mexican Air Force One. You get it. You have the best year of your life. You fly all around the world using President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's generous offer of one year's running costs.

And then afterwards, who cares what happens to it? It only costs you $25. That's a great point. Just park it up at the airport and leave. You know? That's a good bloody deal. So if you're looking to do this, I'm not 100% sure how you get a ticket, but if there's a guy standing on the corner at your local Westfield with a raffle book and he's selling

tickets to the Dreamliner, get a couple. Definitely get a couple. This is how dumb I am. I literally just went, oh, but how am I going to get the plane if I win? It's in Mexico. It's a couple. Definitely get a couple. This is how dumb I am. I literally just went, oh, but how am I going to get the plane if I win? It's in Mexico. It's a plane. It's a plane, bruh. I'll fly it here.

I feel like that's something that sets people apart is poop chat. Oh, it's definitely polarising. It's polarising. Some people are all about it. They want to be honest, open, and then others are like, can't deal with it, don't want to talk about it. You're the former I'm the letter. Yeah, I think so.

Yeah. But I found this story to be very interesting because someone you would never even think about has come out in the media and she's had a conversation about poop okay oprah i love this oh winfrey and i love this because you'll be going finally an ambassador for poop chat the role model we all need to break the glass poop ceiling and what a role model uh we've got in oprah winfrey um technically look, I'm going to be honest. It technically wasn't her that started the chat,

but she contributed to the chat. It was comedian Amy Schumer that decided it was appropriate to talk to Oprah, the Oprah, about... To talk to the Oprah. To talk to the Oprah about her pooping habits that week. Take a listen. So Amy Schumer, she's made an appearance for Oprah Winfrey's 2020 Vision Tour, and she walks into the room and Oprah asks how she is.

And take a listen to what Amy Schumer said. Thank you. How are you feeling? I feel so much better. I can't even complain except I haven't pooped since Monday. Okay. We'll save that for the audience. We'll save that for the 15,000 people.

Right, so that's backstage. Is that backstage? That's backstage, and they're discussing, you know, what Amy's been going through that week. So Monday, what does that refer to? Like how many days since Monday? Because if that's her saying that on late Tuesday afternoon, not such a big deal.

That was on Saturday. Oh. So this is nearly a week. Now you've done it. You've suckered me in. Yes, and now you want to know. You've done what Amy Schumer did to Oprah. And guess what?

It's not in the audio there, but Oprah then goes on to talk to her about some things she can try to loosen up her stool. Okay, what does Oprah recommend? I can't believe I'm asking this. You know why you're asking? Because it's the Oprah Winfrey. No, I'll tell you why I'm asking. Because since having a child, my poop chat has gone through the roof

because it's my job now to monitor someone else's. Your job is poop. Yeah, and sometimes I have to use certain techniques to get things moving for my daughter. So I'm keen to know what Oprah's advice is. Finally, about time you're on board while you're in luck because this is what Oprah suggested to Amy Schumer. Any tips?

You've had, let's see, you've done that dieters to thing, right? Well, I was suggested to Amy Schumer. Any tips? You've had, let's see. You've done that dieters tea thing, right? Well, I was going to do smooth move, but then I was scared it would hit while we were on stage. So I'm waiting until after. What is smooth move? I think it might be a laxative tea. Right.

I'm not giving my daughter a laxative tea. A lot of people drink laxative tea at night. Right. And it's actually quite good for you. A a laxative tea. A lot of people drink laxative tea at night. Right. And it's actually quite good for you. A licorice-based tea. Babies. I wouldn't say babies into the licorice tea. Does she drink it from a teacup?

Put it in a bottle. She'll love it. Does she like the bag left in or taken out? Does she like it extra milky? How many sugars? Right, I've given you enough poo chat. Have you had your fill? Have you got it out of your system? I've had my fill.

Have you had yours? I've had mine. Why not give ZM's Fletchborn and Megan a listen too? Subscribe on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. ZM.
