Good everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. Everybody present? Brie?
Present.
Producer Ben?
Yep.
Producer Ellie?
Yes.
Okay, cool.
Do you have anything to say? Do you want someone to jump in?
Let's talk about Ben's gout.
Oh yeah
Let's start again
We haven't talked about that
No
It's got a big gap in it
Let's start again
No because everyone laughed
It's got a big gap
Well he can cut that out
Fine okay fine
He can cut it out
Fine can you tighten the gap up
Yeah
He won't
We think Ben might have gout
Yeah
And we say this from a place of love
Because we care about Ben
No it's gross
No it's not gross, I have gout
I thought it was an old
Welcome to the club
I thought it was an old person thing
It's supposed to be an old person thing
My nana had it so I was like what
Yeah it's like an old lady, old man thing
No it's mostly men
It's about time you guys got one of the raw deals on something
So gout for those who don't know, is a debilitating joint disease
where crystals form in your toe joints
and it feels like you have broken glass inside your foot.
I feel like someone's stabbing me in the stomach once a month.
You want to have gout?
I could have gout.
Because of your period?
Yeah.
Well, I'm concerned for you.
If Ben got his period, I'd be incredibly concerned for him.
Yeah, true.
Okay?
It's not a competition, all right?
I would love it.
It's not a competition.
Ellie, would you love it?
I know, yeah.
For these boys to just once.
Just once.
Just once. Just so you know how bad it is.
Men can't feel anything.
We're not allowed to feel anything because the minute we do, we get hit with, try having your period, you son of a bitch.
Exactly.
So if you had it once, would you?
I could have a leg amputated and someone would go,
well, you should try having childbirth, you dipshit.
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, don't bring childbirth into it.
Don't do that.
What were you going to say?
Don't be that asshole.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying we're not allowed to feel that way.
Exactly.
So here's my proposition.
If for somehow, some reason, they could make you guys get your period,
even just once, say you got a period but it was a
bad one ellie you know the ones i'm talking about the real painful ones the ones where you're in so
much pain you just go you just try and go to sleep yeah because you're literally nearly having a
blackout from the plant from the pain yeah yeah would you have that so then you could actually
know what it's like so then you could say i know what it's
like only if you try this gout gout is not the same as getting your period every month for the
rest of your life some people get gout some people have to take gout and this could be your future
ben so you have to take gout pills every day yes and i'm not saying that gout's not horrible it
sounds like it's very painful here Here's the issue with gout.
But do you have it from when you're 12?
No, yeah.
Once a month.
And here's the other issue with gout.
It's largely self-inflicted.
What?
Exactly.
Yeah, true.
Your period isn't comeuppance for...
For drinking too much.
Yeah, for drinking too much.
It's not like your body is punishing you.
So I'll give you that.
But would you like to experience what it's like?
I feel like you guys would be traumatised.
Yeah, I'd love to experience what it's like.
It's traumatic.
Ben, I reckon I'd have the best period.
I'd be so good at it. I'd probably cry.
It is a
very emotional time because not
only are you dealing with that,
your emotions are all over the shop.
It's true.
It's crazy.
Like it's so, imagine once a month where you can't control
but you know you're going to have a mood swing
but you can't control it.
Yeah, that'd be awful.
It's terrible.
And you know what?
That's putting everyone in a box.
Not everyone has real bad mood swings.
Are you looking forward to menopause?
That's a great question, Clint.
And that's another thing we have to deal with.
Okay, are you looking forward to life post-menopause?
I can't even imagine it.
No.
Because apparently there's a lot of stuff after you go through menopause,
then you have to deal with all these other symptoms.
Well, your hormones change, right?
Yeah, exactly.
God, you guys are such a sliding scale, aren't you?
And I mean that in a loving way.
Like the Richter is just like going boom, boom, boom.
It is rough.
You're happy, you're sad, you're hungry, you're horny, you're pregnant,
you're balding, you're fasting, you're far out.
What is going on?
Yeah, so just do what we say.
Yeah.
Anyway, Ben, I'll bring you in some gout pills tomorrow
because you're in my thoughts and my prayers.
Oh, thanks, mate. It's hard and it's sore. What about us? Yeah, I'll bring you in Some gout pills tomorrow Because you're in my thoughts And my prayers Thanks mate
It's hard and it's sore
What about us?
I'll bring you moon cup
I'm due this month

Winner Bree and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one.
Same time every day, baby.
That's right.
You could have fooled Brie.
I literally, I'm so puffed and it's so sad.
Just ran out into the office to grab my headphones.
Brie goes, Brie goes, shit, how long have we got to go? And I said, 24 seconds. She goes, I haven't got my headphones. Brie goes, shit, how long have we got to go?
I said 24 seconds. She goes, I haven't
got my headphones. So off she runs.
We've got someone here from the New Zealand
Broadcasting School here watching how
a professional radio show is run. Usually
it's a lot more smooth than this, right?
Yeah. Usually she usually
allows like 90,
120 type seconds. Yeah.
That's okay.
You're here now.
Welcome back.
I'm here.
Exciting news today.
If you missed it, ZM's Secret Sound is back.
And this year it is massive.
It is the biggest it has ever been prize-wise.
Isn't it like double the biggest it's ever been?
Yeah.
We'll bring you all the info of when it's launching and that.
But basically, the Secret Sound, it's always been a life-changing amount.
It is now a life. I'm going to go as far as to say
it's a life-establishing amount.
A hundred percent.
It's a deposit and some.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
That's very exciting.
Also, there's been a study released that we're going
to address in the next 20 minutes.
This is really interesting because you know the old
saying that money doesn't buy you happiness?
Yes, I do.
There's been a study revealed that believes it has pinpointed the optimal amount of money you need to earn in your job to be happy in a relationship.
So are we talking like money you earn together or just you personally?
No, just you.
Really?
So the money you need to go to your boss with, this is quite good, the money you need to go to your boss and go,
hey, you know how you met my partner at the Christmas party?
And they go, yeah.
And they go, did you like them?
Yeah, lovely person.
Cool.
If you want us to be happy, you need to pay me this exact amount of money.
Oh, I like that bargaining tool.
Ross Boss, if you're listening, let's chat later.
You need to introduce him to your partner first.
Yeah, true.
I better get that out of the way.
Next, though, we're going to talk about smashing tennis rackets.
You might have seen us smashing, well, Bree smashing some tennis rackets on our Facebook page recently. Yeah, well, it's happening at the way. Next, though, we're going to talk about smashing tennis rackets. You might have seen us smashing, well, Bree smashing some tennis rackets
on our Facebook page recently.
Yeah, well, it's happening at the Aussie Open,
and we're going to discuss just how hard it is to do that next.
You're the only person I know with first-hand experience.
Have you ever done it?
No, I've never smashed a tennis racket.
Well, maybe that'll be your birthday present this year.
Getting to smash a tennis racket?
Yeah, it's this weekend.
I'd be happy just to get a tennis racket.
And then I'd never smash it.
We'll talk about that soon.
This is Justin Bieber.
And what do you mean?
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and I were just chatting.
Was it Australia Day yesterday?
Yeah, so technically the actual official, yeah,
Australia Day is the 27th, so yesterday.
But everyone back home and all of my family,
we were all celebrating it early.
And so people will do it now on the Saturday, is that why?
Yeah, yeah.
So that's when they've moved the –
because everyone does it around the Triple J Hottest 100, right?
Wait, well –
And Triple J are keen not to have it on Australia Day
as it is currently, right, because of all the controversy
around having Australia Day on that day. Australia Day's
the 26th. I don't know what I'm talking about.
That was... Which was...
That was Sunday. Which was Sunday.
But everyone... Okay, so
now I got it because it was the long weekend for some
people up here in Auckland. So
Aussie Day was on Sunday, the
26th. Yeah. But everyone celebrated
it on the Saturday because we're all
kind of... Pro-moving the day?
Protesting kind of, yeah. Pro-moving it
to another day. Did you see Chris Hemsworth posted about
it? Did he? So Chris Hemsworth
Thor and Australian
hero has just put up a picture on
his Instagram saying, change
the day. Yeah. And then he's written why
and for those who don't know, and
correct me if I'm wrong, it's because that's
what a lot of Aboriginal people see as the day that,
they call it Invasion Day, is that right?
They call it Invasion Day and the Indigenous people from my country
believe that, you know, it's quite a horrible and traumatic day
for them to remember and celebrate.
All they want is to move to a different day so we can all celebrate together.
And people are like, no, why would I move the day?
Not everyone though, right?
Not everyone.
It's divided.
It's like a 50-50 divider.
Right.
That's really interesting.
And then to my other point, who won the Triple J Hottest 100?
Billie Eilish, bad guy, won it.
Did it?
Yeah.
So he got number one in the Triple J Top 100.
It beat out Tones and I.
Yes.
And you know what tones and i got fourth
right okay which if you look at i think australia in the last 12 months of music i know that song
can be quite annoying for people but for the impact it had and the you know i guess the success
she had off the back of it for me that was that was the true number one. I loved that song when it came out.
Yeah, it was great.
And then they got punished.
It's so annoying now.
But that's not her fault.
No.
That's our fault.
That's radio people's fault.
We did that.
We made it annoying.
Exactly.
It's not Tones and I's fault.
She put out a great song.
Yeah.
Okay, so Tones and I got fourth.
To see you dance just one more time.
So they say dance for me. And Billie Eilish first. Got fourth.
And Billie Eilish first.
And I mean, if you look at Billie Eilish yesterday at the Grammys,
she cleaned up.
Both very poppy songs, though, to be in the top five of the Triple J Hottest 100.
Yeah.
Don't they normally just get like an acoustic song from Oceanelli
or something?
Pretty much.
I mean, that's what won the year before.
Right.
Confidence by Ocean Alley.
We were going to talk about racket smashing,
but that was far more interesting.
Bree and Clint.
This is interesting.
I told you about this before.
The optimal amount of money that you need to be earning in your job
to be happiest in your relationship.
And what is this derived from?
So it's a survey that was taken in the,
well, it's a combination of information,
survey that was taken in the UK by the Telegraph newspaper
of 500 people in the UK.
Right.
And the reason that I think this is relevant
is because similar lifestyles, right?
The way you live in the UK.
Yeah, I'd say so.
Similar to the way that we live here in New Zealand.
They surveyed more than 500
people and
two-thirds of the people in the survey
that earned over
$200,000
Let me guess, weren't happy.
I knew it!
Money doesn't buy happiness.
Suck on that, you rich. But I'll take some.
Well, maybe not after hearing happiness. Suck on that, you rich. But I'll take some. Yeah, well, maybe not after hearing this.
So the money that you need to be happy in a relationship at least
is much lower than that.
This is research done by the UK's National Statistics Office.
That says that people were most happy
with only their basic wants and needs met by their salary.
So they don't have any extra income to worry about or anything like that.
They just have enough money to live, eat, and I guess a little bit of travel maybe.
Right?
So you've got enough.
So that's what most people said.
Yeah, that's what most people said.
Most people on that are liars.
So, well, no, that's what they said.
Okay, that's what they said.
So then you've got to figure out what that number is.
So the number... So did they figure that out? Yes, they said. Okay, that's what they said. So then you've got to figure out what that number is. So did they figure that out?
Yes, they have.
Okay.
Okay, and this number has been converted to New Zealand dollars, okay?
So this is not in pounds or anything.
Got it.
This is relative to New Zealand.
A UK scientist says that there is a window
that will make you the most happy in your relationships
and in every day-to-day life,
and that number is...
Between 80 and 117,000 New Zealand dollars.
I'm breaking up with my partner.
Jeez!
No, crap, that's going to make you happy.
That's going to make you happy That's going to make
Everybody happy
I thought you were going to say
Like an actual
Like you know
Decent
So did I
Number like 66
So did I
You know something around that
So did I
Someone in the study
He said that
He quit his
His high paying job
Yeah
And he took a lower paying job
Like this
And he said
now he earns less, he can't afford to taxi
everywhere and have takeaways every night
but he's realised that cooking and
walking and living at a slower pace
actually makes him happy
Yeah but you've got $117,000
Yeah you're a lot better off than most
people, that's why you're happy
Jeez
So sorry if you thought I was going to give you the key to happiness.
You told me before we came on the radio that it was like a low number.
It was low compared to 200.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio.
This is...
The latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Let's go live to Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy.
Hi, Dean.
Hi, Dean.
Hi, guys.
I've missed you.
Hello, everyone.
I've missed you too.
Dean, tell us about, obviously, the horrific and probably very sombre mood there in LA
yesterday after the news of Kobe Bryant's death and his daughter, of course.
Oh, my goodness.
It's hard to put into words the vibe around LA, as you can imagine.
Devastated, sad, somber.
People just not really getting there.
It's going to take some time for it to even set in, you know what I mean?
Like, we just did not see this coming.
I do have some more details about the terrifying and upsetting helicopter crash that actually happened.
Here's what happened.
Obviously, tragically, there were nine people on his private helicopter.
He was heading to basketball training in Thousand Oaks from Calabasas,
where he lives, which is where we've spoken about Calabasas,
where all the Kardashians and everyone lives.
He was flying through, the helicopter was flying through terrifying fog.
It was so bad that the police helicopters in the area had all been grounded.
It was that bad.
The helicopter pilot was flying very, very fast, extremely fast,
even though that helicopter can fly slowly, and it hit a mountain.
He was, as other helicopter experts have said today, he should have gone up and tried to go over the fog,
but he actually went lower and tried to go under the fog.
Wow.
And actually he hit a mountain.
They hit a mountain.
That's what happened, which is just terrifying and upsetting.
Is there any truth to the rumour that the crash happened
behind Kourtney Kardashian's house in Calabasas?
It's right near there.
I don't know whether it's how close to her house,
but it's very, very close to where they all live.
So, yeah, that might be a dramatised version of the story,
but it's right near where they all live, very close to where they live, yeah.
I know it's obviously, you know, such crazy news to hear about Kobe Bryant
and he's such a big star, but it's also like,
I guess you need to think about the other people that lost their lives in that crash too.
Like one family lost the mum, the dad,
and one of the daughters in just one family.
So it's a horrible, horrible, tragic accident.
This will break your heart, and I give you warning before that,
but this is a clip that I found today of Kobe Bryant
speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on The Late Show in America
about his daughter who passed away in the accident. Have a listen to this.
Do you think your daughter might want to play in the WNBA?
She does for sure. She does?
I mean, this kid, man.
Wouldn't that be great? Dude, man,
I'm telling you.
The best thing that happens is
when we go out and fans will
come up to me and she'll be standing next to me and they'll be like,
hey, you gotta have a boy. UMV
gotta have a boy, man.
You gotta have somebody
carry on the tradition,
the legacy.
She's like,
oi, I got this.
You know, boy, for that,
I got this.
Like, that's right.
Yes, you do.
You got this.
It is incredibly sad.
The whole thing
is incredibly sad.
Thank you for the update.
That is Dean McCarthy,
our Hollywood correspondent
out of Los Angeles.
Bree and Clint.
Over the weekend, I got onto the topic of nannying with a couple of my mates.
Are you keen to?
Because me and Lucy would love a night out.
Yeah, it's $45 an hour.
$45 an hour?
I do come with experience.
Does anyone know how much a nanny actually costs?
My friend's a nanny.
This is why I was talking about it with her.
Yeah.
I'll ask her.
Yeah, find out.
Yeah.
She's a good nanny.
I can't pay $45 an hour.
Okay, all right.
Flat $40.
$40 for the day?
For the hour.
It's actually quite expensive.
Yeah, a bit of this.
Yeah, unless you've got a full-time nanny.
I think you do more like a, you know.
My friends have got a full-time nanny,
and they said it's great because
they put her to work during the day. She gets
the kids off to daycare and stuff. She does like washing and cleaning
Yeah, put her to work was a bit rough
but yeah, she does the washing and
Don't talk about her like that
Gets dinner ready. They come home and she's like
sanded one side of the house
She's made a
coffee table for the living room
She's also a carpenter. She's out pushing the plough. She's also a coffee table for the living room. She's also a carpenter.
She's out pushing the plough.
She's also a blacksmith.
She's put horseshoes on all the horses in the back stable.
She costs $45 an hour, but we put her to work.
Don't we work hard.
Sure, we have to reshoe her once a fortnight, but it's worth it.
It's fine.
But I was actually talking to her about,
because she was kind of telling me about some of the bits and pieces bits and pieces of nannying that you know kind of suck a little bit and some kids well no no it's
never the kids unless you get some you know annoying ones but no she said usually because
she told me about um well i was actually telling her about a friend of mine and she loved this
story because i said this was karma at its finest okay sure so a friend of mine and she loved this story because I said this was karma at its
finest okay sure so a friend of mine was working for this really rich family and she was nannying
and they had three children three kids all quite young um I think they were between like nine and
four maybe yeah quite young kids anyway she one time uh the family was going on a holiday to Greece and they said,
we want you to come on a holiday to Greece. Lovely. Yeah. And she was like, boom, that's
awesome. Free trip to Greece. Love it. I mean, she's working, but still. Do you still get
paid? Yeah. So she was getting paid. Get paid to go to Greece. Yeah. But I mean, you're
working and looking after the kids the whole time, but still, I mean, you're in Greece.
Anyway, she gets the airport and they kind of say to her,
you know, here's your ticket kind of thing, whatever.
And she realises that she has been bought a ticket in economy
and the whole family, the parents and the three children,
have been bought tickets in first class.
Oh, I get it.
I don't get it. I would more get it. I mean, it's a business expense.
I don't get it.
I would more get it if the parents said.
If the four-year-old's in first class, put the nanny up there.
If you go, yeah, yeah, true.
But if you wanted your kids to ride an economy,
because imagine you're rich.
Well, that's fine.
And you go, we're going to business class and we're paying you
to look after these kids in economy.
That's different.
Then I'd get it.
But you're just cost cutting.
Yeah, the whole family is in first class except for the nanny.
That's a bit rough.
Anyway, this is where karma comes in because apparently like halfway
through the flight or like, you know, a couple of hours in,
the mum comes back down from first class and she says to the nanny,
she's like, oh, can you come up and feed the children?
It's, you know, it's lunchtime.
Can you come up and feed the kids? Anyway, so my friend, the nanny, she's like, oh, can you come up and feed the children? It's, you know, it's lunchtime. Can you come up and feed the kids?
Anyway, so my friend, the nanny, she's like stood up.
She's went to walk in and the air hostess goes, I'm sorry,
but you're actually not allowed in first class.
Because they hadn't purchased her a ticket.
Exactly.
So then the parents had to look after them the whole flight.
Oh, my God.
Imagine that.
You have to look after your own children.
What has the world come to? What has the world come to when a rich person have to look after your own children. What has the world come to?
What has the world come to when a rich person has to feed their very own children?
I always wonder that with people who can afford that sort of thing
and have like living nannies and that sort of thing.
How many kids would you have had if you had to do all the work?
What do you mean?
Like if they had to, between nine and four,
then they would have had a five-year-old, a three-year-old and a baby.
Yeah.
If they couldn't afford a nanny, would they still have had three kids?
Or would they go, shit, this is hard.
That's what grandparents are for.
Bree and Clint.
I mean, something that I like to do every now and then, Clint,
is just, you know, experiment with different radio games on you.
Because you're my guinea pig.
Yeah.
And you do the same to me sometimes.
Oh, yeah.
But today's my day, and I've come up with a game I like to call
What's the Ad?
Pretty simple.
You and I had a conversation actually last week
where we were talking about...
The Shawn Mendes song.
Yeah.
Nothing Holding Me Back, that one.
Yeah, and it's pretty much you can play the first clip. It's this song here if you don't knowendes song. Yeah. Nothing Holding Me Back, that one. Yeah, and it's pretty much, you can play the first clip.
It's this song here if you don't know the song.
We, there's nothing holding me back.
Talking about this song.
The Ford Ranger.
And how you can only think about the Ford Escape.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it's so heavily on that ad now.
Well, car companies have a great way of picking the perfect song for that mood, right?
And then you associate it with driving that car.
Absolutely.
And it works.
So we're going to play a game this afternoon where I've got three different clips from famous car ads
where they've made a song.
Well, it could have been famous beforehand, but you should recognise what car was this song advertising here.
These have all been in the last five to ten years.
Now, this is hard because someone else has used this song recently as well.
And they've had it sung by a female singer and it's not for a car. Now, this is hard because someone else has used this song recently as well. Sing and do the bar.
And they've had it sung by a female singer, and it's not for a car.
You'll definitely kick yourself when I tell you.
Is it the Toyota Corolla?
No, it is for Volkswagen.
Don't remember that one?
No, I don't remember that one. Okay, well, let's go with the next clip.
What car was this song advertising?
You got the music in you
Don't let go
You got the music in you
I can see it.
That's what it's gonna pull through
Don't give up
You got a reason
And this went for a long, long time.
Is this the Mazda song before they went to that weird Zoom Zoom thing?
Zoom Zoom.
Oh, you remember that?
I didn't mind that.
No, I'll give you one more guess.
Oh.
Come on.
I'm a car guy too.
Yeah, is it Mitsubishi?
Thanks, producer Ellie, for telling Clint.
Is it Mitsubishi?
It is Mitsubishi.
I knew that.
Yeah, is that the Mitsubishi Lancer?
Yeah, the new Radicals, music and you.
That song was attached to Mitsubishi.
And if you don't get this one, then you're getting kicked off the show.
Okay, here we go.
I've got it. I just want to hear the drop.
This is the Jeep Cherokee.
Well, duh!
The pot bellies are still living off the royalties for this.
Nothing made me want a Jeep Cherokee more than this here.
I bought six of them.
I went to five Potbellys shows because of that.
Yeah, me too.
What are Potbellys up to?
I don't know.
You should see what they're up to.
I saw them at Rhythm and Vines in 2008.
They probably didn't see you. Strong
fedora game. No, they did. I introduced them.
Really?
I was like, here's the pot bellies.
Where's your team Cherokee? Parked out the back.
Bree and Clint. Can we talk
for a second about a
friends reunion? We're not talking
about this anymore. Let's talk about a friends
reunion because there's new... The people are sick of this. No. You ate about this anymore. Let's talk about a friends reunion because there's new...
The people are sick of this.
No.
You ate the cat food.
It's done.
Dusted.
Not according to the people who are on my side
who are rallying behind me and saying,
Clint, you're the hero that we're looking for.
You champion the friends reunion that we all want
and you took that cat food like a man and you deserve justice.
I never said I don't want it.
I absolutely want it.
Well, you'll be excited about the news that I have about a Friends reunion then.
Oh, here we go.
Because David Schwimmer has come out and said he's keen.
David Schwimmer, who plays Ross on Friends,
has suggested in an interview that a Friends reunion should happen.
Why are you bringing this horrible news story to our attention?
It's not horrible.
No, it's horrible because it's got no backing behind it.
It does.
It's a direct quote from an interview.
Let me read you this here.
David Schwimmer has suggested that a Friends reboot should be made
starring an all-black or all-Asian cast.
Absolutely not relevant to our bet that we had.
It is.
So David Schwimmer has come out and he's addressed the fact
that Friends in 2020 is not particularly woke.
It's just six white friends living in New York.
It wasn't very ethnically diverse.
Yeah, I get that.
He said that when he was on the show,
he always pushed for more diversity.
That's why Ross dated African-American women
and Asian-American women.
Yeah, yeah.
So he's saying if they redo Friends,
they should change the cast
and they should be all black or all Asian people.
That doesn't count, mate.
Doesn't it?
Well, it doesn't count in terms of our bet.
Well, this is what I wanted to ask.
If they announce a Friends reboot
starring an all black or all Asian cast,
or all Hispanic, or all-Asian cast, or all-Hispanic,
or all-Māori, all-Pacific.
Hey, I'm all for diversity and changing it up,
but the bet was it needed to be the original Friends characters.
Right.
So if they announce this, you won't eat any cat food?
I'm not eating no cat food unless it's all the original actors and actresses
playing their original characters.
Well, that is still coming too.
That is still coming.
Did you see on the weekend that Monica shared some pictures?
She shared some pictures of the last ever taping of Friends.
The cast sitting around having some lobster.
You know what you're doing?
So she's building the hype now too.
You know what you're doing?
It's like someone has broken up with you in a relationship
and then you go onto their profile and you're doing? It's like someone has broken up with you in a relationship and then you
go onto their profile and you're
picking every little tiny thing going,
oh, there's still hope, there's still hope.
Oh, see, she's at the cafe that I used
to go to with her. Oh, there's still hope.
If the pieces connect. There's still hope.
I've seen that Russell Crowe movie, A Beautiful Mind.
If you can link the things together,
then, oh no, he ended up being crazy.
Clint, you are a stage five friends reunion clinger.
That's what you are.
No, I'm not.
You know what I am?
What?
I'm a man who ate cat food at the end of the last year
and is desperately, desperately trying to make you experience what I experienced.
Hey, I told you the rules.
If the original cast and members and all that come back and they do a reunion,
I will eat the cat food.
Just not if they're black.
Racist.
Oh, shut up!
Bree and Clint.
This is interesting news for Tinder users.
Actually, anybody who's up on the dating apps, Tinder has announced that it's adding a series of new safety features
in an attempt to make women feel more safe when they're out on dates.
This is interesting because obviously Bumble is the platform
that kind of started that where you can only message
if you're a female.
It's female-led.
Female-led.
They have to approach if they make a match with a male.
Yeah.
So this one here is an addition they're looking at putting
on Tinder in the States.
There's no plans to roll it out here.
But if it works, I think that this sort of thing could be a good idea.
So when you say panic button, what exactly does it do?
Well, I hadn't said panic button yet, but I'm glad you brought it up.
So they're looking at installing a panic button where if you're on a date,
you can push that button within the app.
Wait. So it's when you're on the actual physical date?
Yeah, so when you're meeting up with the person,
they will have a thing within Tinder,
and I guess you could just leave the app open
so that as soon as you open your phone, it's there.
You push the panic button,
and Tinder will automatically send you a message.
And if you don't reply to that message,
it will
send you a phone call. It'll ring you.
And then if you don't reply to that
phone call, it will use
your location and it will
alert emergency services,
police, whatever, and say, hey,
we've had a distress message
from this person. And Tinder have your information.
They'll go, this is her name, this is what she looks
like, and this is her exact location right now.
This is where she is.
Yeah, you need to go and help that person.
Really?
Interesting, eh?
Not taking anything away.
Obviously, that's amazing and a great idea.
But do you think people would get confused
and they'd use it when a date's just going really bad?
This is what I wondered.
Because like getting a phone call usually,
a bit of an insight,
most people know this, but you tell your friends to call you like halfway
through the date just in case it's terrible
and you can say, oh sorry, gotta go.
Yeah. Or if it's going well, you just ignore
the call. Exactly. Yeah.
I know what you're saying though. If people
abuse it because the date is just
bad, and bad in like
a boring kind of way. Like they're panicking
for a different reason because it's just
a terrible date. How many police officers have to show
up and they go oh my god save me from
this man he is chewing my ear off
before they go oh we're cancelling the tinder button
I don't think that would happen I think that
things are I think there
have been enough cases of things recently
that have been bad enough
that I don't think
anyone's going to abuse it.
Like if it's there for your safety.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think it's a good conversation too.
And I was actually talking to my flatmate Annabelle about this a little while ago.
And I just said to her, because she's on Tinder every now and then.
I don't even know if she's on it anymore.
But I was just saying, you know, anytime like you are going on a date or like you're meeting up
with someone just tell quite a few people what you're doing yeah you know just so people know
where you are and you know just to be safe yeah times have changed and and being safe probably
looks different in 2020 absolutely I don't know do you send a couple of screenshots of the guys
like tinder profile to your friends so at least at least they know who this person is like
because that because it's blind dating it's literally you're meeting other people you've
never met there's nothing wrong with it there's nothing wrong with blind dating no and most of
the time it is great and people meet you know amazing people but there is you know people out
there you could meet up and it could be someone completely different to who you thought you were
talking to yeah you know you just don't know. At least back in the day, blind dating was like
you were referred on by a friend of a friend.
You're like, oh, I've got a guy that you'd be perfect for.
Yeah, exactly.
So at least someone knows them.
Whereas now it's just, dear algorithm,
who shall I go out with this weekend?
Anyway, I thought that was quite a good feature
and I think it'd be really good to see it rolled out in New Zealand.
Good on you too.
Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier.

Brenda. Bree and Clint.
Is the Australian Open tennis
over yet? No.
Well, I don't know. It's still going. Well, good for them.
You're so not a tennis
man, are you? No, I told you I'll
watch the interesting games.
It's like the Sevens.
Like, it just kind of goes all year and there's always Sevens
and always tennis on.
A very long tour, you're right.
I watched the New Zealand Sevens in Hamilton over the weekend.
That was exciting.
I saw that was on.
I got no interest in following the team to Hong Kong
and then on to Las Vegas and then on to Brisbane.
I don't care.
They're working hard, though.
You should give them support.
Good for them.
I get sick of everything.
I'm sick of the All Blacks by the end of the season.
You know?
No, you're not.
That's a lie.
No, that's a lie.
I love that team.
I'd follow them to the ends of the earth.
So I saw this clip come out of Nick Kyrgios,
who's an Australian bad boy.
Very well known in Australia for, yeah,
being a bit of a rough around the edges type of player.
He's gotten into a lot of trouble, but he's got a lot of talent as well.
He's the bad boy of tennis, right?
Yeah, he's a bad boy.
He has tantrums.
He swears at people.
He's like the new modern day McEnroe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw he was playing
Rafael Nadal. Yes.
Mr. Headband. The sweetheart.
And he's had a tanty and he smashed a racket.
Have a listen to this here.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Why, Nick?
Why at this moment
should we run into this morning?
It's very casual about it.
Smashes the racket in one hit.
The whole thing snaps in half.
And then he walks over and he tosses the racket to a fan.
Like, yeah, you have this.
And then he goes and gets a fresh one.
And just gives it to him.
Can you just play the clip again?
I love if you listen to the umpire in the chair in the background right at the end.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Why, Nick?
Why at this moment
Should we run to this?
Warning, Mr. Kyrgios
Can you imagine just the attendance
And I'm always like
Uh, warning, Mr. Kyrgios
Uh, are you having a boo-hoo?
Are you?
Uh, that's a warning for Nick Kyrgios
Nick Kyrgios, if you don't calm down
You'll go to bed with no dinner
That'll be no dinner for Nick Karius
and also 40 love.
Can we get one
of the ball boys on to the court? That's
a smack bottom for Nick
Karius. You smashed a racket
last week. We made a video of it. I did, yeah.
It's on our Facebook page.
So I want to get first hand.
So his sounded like he hit the racket
once. Yeah, and that's it
Whacked on the ground once, broken half
Here's audio of you trying to break a racket
Double fold
You are killing classes
Mother f***ing s***
That's five solid hits there
And I don't think it was even broken
How hard is it to break a tennis racket?
It's so damn hard
And we bought one of the real cheapo rackets
Yeah, right Yeah, from down the road Yeah So I don't even I can't even imagine How hard is it to break a tennis racket? It's so damn hard. And we bought one of the real cheapo rackets.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, from down the road.
Yeah.
So I can't even imagine.
Maybe I'm not sure if the more expensive tennis rackets are easier.
I'm going to say that they are.
You think they'll be easier to break?
Yeah.
Yeah, because they'll be lighter weight, right? Yeah, lighter weight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bree and Clint.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta-fame game.
Very simple game where we take celebrities' Instagrams,
or producer Ellie does, and you and I, Clint,
try and guess how many followers they have.
Yeah.
I've been having a shocking run.
Oh, is that 2-0 to me?
That is clean, yep.
Oh.
I mean, I did pants you last year in this game, so I had to give you a few.
Yeah, right, yeah.
Producer Ellie scrapes the internet for topical celebrities every week.
And who are we starting with this week, Ellie?
We've got a Grammy-themed thing today, guys.
Okay.
Yeah, so our first one, who won five Grammys yesterday, which is amazing,
most of the good ones,
is Billie Eilish.
Oh.
How many Instagram followers
does Billie Eilish have?
Yeah.
Well, Ellie,
I'm going to go out on a limb here
and place my guess
rather specifically.
All right.
Okay, Clint,
so you put 17.5 million
for Billie Eilish.
Bree, you put 69 million. Nice. Billie E you put $17.5 million for Billie Eilish. Brie, you put $69 million.
Nice.
Billie Eilish has $50.5 million.
Get it, son!
Nice, Brie.
Oh, she's on the board.
I think it's my first point this year.
All right, your next one.
He won winner for Best Pop Duo slash Groot with his performance with Billie Ray Cyrus.
It's Lil Nas X. Oh, that's a tough
one. I've never been on his Instagram.
Me neither. Dude's huge
on Twitter. Really? Huge
on Twitter. He's trying to throw me off. See what he's doing?
Yeah.
Alright, for Lil
Nas X. He's a...
I didn't look at yours.
I didn't look at yours. Alright, Clint, you put $20 million for Lil Nas X. He's a... No! I didn't look at yours. I didn't look at yours.
Alright, Clint, you put $20 million for Lil Nas X.
Brie, you put $12 million.
Surely he can't be that big.
Lil Nas X has $5.7 million.
So that's two points to Brie.
I'd put $15 million for us.
So there you go.
Stupid Lil Nas X.
He's like a fashion icon.
Why has he not got more?
I guess $5 million's pretty good.
He's just starting. Yeah. Or is he not got more? I guess five million is pretty good. He's just starting.
Yeah.
Or is he just finishing?
This guy could win here.
You could.
You could pants him.
So your next one, she was the host of the Grammys yesterday, Alicia Keys.
Oh, Alicia Keys.
She released new music recently.
Did she?
What's it like?
I haven't heard it.
Okay.
Hey, she's had some amazing songs.
I know she has.
Oh, I don't know for Alicia Keys.
She's one of those tricky ones where she's kind of pre-Instagram.
Yes, that's why I put her in there.
The majority of her fame.
Stop stalling.
You're really stalling.
I'm going to need an answer.
Okay, all right.
All right, so for Alicia Keys, Clint, you've put $3.5 million.
Brie, you've put $8 million.
Alicia Keys has $17.9 million, and that is a game to Brie.
Yeah, she's back.
She's back.
This girl is on fire.
Nice one.
Brie and Clint, well done, Brie.
Brie and Clint.
Did we all watch The Bachelorette last night, episode one?
Yes, I tuned in.
Lucina Nakid Shuster, the 32-year-old doctor.
Where did they find her?
I tell you what, she's like 11 and a half.
Isn't she just?
She's got it all.
She's an absolute breath of fresh air
and she don't need no man to make her feel good.
However, she's decided she would like a panel of men to vie for her love over a six to 12 week period.
She wants to find someone.
Yeah, she wants to push herself outside her comfort zone.
And last night we saw about 20 classic Kiwi fellas come sauntering up the red carpet.
Well, some of them came breakdancing up the red carpet.
Yeah, some of them came doing their skucks walk.
But it wasn't a joke.
They were just like trying to be real skuxy.
Just cool.
And then we saw some like sweet guys
just come up and give it their best.
Is there a guy in there for her?
We don't know.
What we do know is that there is one guy in there
that is not for her
because he's already been eliminated.
Yeah.
And look, I mean, the conversation,
when it was happening,
and we're about to play you the clip,
we're not going to tell you exactly the conversation
and how awkward it was because we'll play it for you,
but I was cringing.
Yeah.
Look, let's just play it and then we'll dissect it afterwards, shall we?
This is Lucina talking to one of the Bachelor hopefuls last night.
How old are you if you don't know me?
I'm 21. So I'm
quite young. How old are you? I'm 32.
You're 32? Yeah.
We've got age range. Huge age range.
How do you feel about that? It's all good actually.
It's all good? To be honest with you, one of my best
mates is 32. Yeah, oh really?
So I kind of get along with those old people
as well. Older people?
Did you just call the bachelorette old?
In case you couldn't hear it, he's a 21-year-old and she's 32
and then he's got quite an age range there and she said,
yeah, you okay with that?
He goes, yeah, one of my friends is 32 so I get along with old people.
And then she goes, you get along with old people.
He got eliminated that night.
He put his foot in it.
He was flustered.
It is one of those situations where I have had this situation
where you almost leave your own body
and you see the words coming out of your own mouth.
You're like, what are you doing?
You're powerless to stop them.
You're like, don't do that.
Don't say that.
That's not the right thing to say in this situation.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Stop what you're doing.
But he couldn't.
And for his, unfortunately for him,
it was filmed and put on nationwide TV.
Yeah, the poor guy.
To be honest, I think he got eliminated.
Not for that comment,
because I don't think she's that ruthless.
I think he got eliminated because of his age and maybe that they're in totally different
life pages.
Well, he said that he was doing the same degree as her, which is great common ground, right?
Yeah.
And she said, oh, did you finish your degree?
And he goes, nah, you know, I got a bit too caught up in that Otago lifestyle.
Yeah, so he's a party boy.
He's a 21-year-old party boy.
And of course he is.
And so you should be at 21.
Yeah, of course.
But she's 32 and she's looking for a husband.
This is the question.
When you were 21, so his age, would you look at 32 as old?
Oh, very good question.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I would.
They're in a different stage of life to you.
Would I look at them as old?
No.
Do I see an obvious age difference?
Absolutely.
No, come on.
When you were 21 and someone would have said,
oh, imagine when we're 32, you would have been like,
oh, that's so old.
That's so far away.
Yeah.
But if I was talking to a super hot chick like Lucina,
I'd be like, 32 ain't nothing, girl.
Age ain't nothing but a number.
Only as old as the man you're feeling.
Let's go.
Well, I probably wouldn't have said that. but, you know, something along those lines.
I was going to say, that's way worse.
This is the thing, though.
It's all about perspective.
And that's why this afternoon we're going to ask you the question, how old is old?
According to that 21-year-old bachelor, 32 is old.
Because he's 21.
Because he's 21.
How old's old for you?
So you've just turned 30.
Yeah. How old's old for you? So you've just turned 30. Yeah.
How old is old?
So I don't mean like...
For me?
Yeah.
Yep, no, I've got it.
There's got to be a number, right?
There's definitely a number in my head that I feel like,
oh, this is offensive.
It is offensive.
It is offensive.
But there's a number inside you.
I think it really depends on the person, though.
Yep.
Like you can meet someone. Of course it does. You know
and I don't think. But you're not doing that. You're swiping
past them on Tinder and all you see is a
photo and a number down
the bottom. Right. How old is old?
I'm going to say for me
50.
Oh okay. That's
fairly inclusive. Yeah.
Whereas I think you know and I think
that's a pretty good age range.
Yeah.
I mean, but I look at 50.
Okay, at 50 years old, how young is young?
Like, have you got like a 35-year-old window going on?
Hey, you've got to keep your age range.
Because you were spading Sean Mindy's for like three years now.
He's still in my age range I maintain, can I say.
Okay, you've got 50.
What's yours?
I was going to say 45.
Okay.
No, see, I don't look at 45 as old at all. Right.
No. Okay, I should say
I'm 32. Yeah, you're older than me.
I was going to say 45.
Okay. No, well, you go with 45.
You've got to draw a line somewhere.
50 is it for me. Round
number. That's when I'm like, yep.
Quickly around the producers. Producer being
your, how old? I'm 26. yep. Quickly around the producers. Producer Ben, you're how old?
I'm 26.
And how old is old?
Probably 35.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Excuse you.
So a few years older than Clint.
Yeah, exactly right.
I'm still in your age range.
Producer Ellie, you're how old?
I'm 27.
And how old is old?
I'm going to sound like a suck up now,
but I actually reckon 60.
Oh, come on.
My parents are under 60 and they're still young. Yeah, do you want to date them? suck-up now, but I actually reckon 60. Oh, come on. My parents are under 60, and they're still young.
Yeah, do you want to date them?
Yeah.
I mean, what?
Do you want to date someone in your parents' friend group?
No, I wouldn't date them, no.
So how old is old?
Oh, to date.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, 45 probably.
Yeah.
We agree.
Jesus, I'm a bloody...
What am I?
Why am I dating 50-year-olds?
That's where the money is.
To be honest.
Yeah.
Nice.
Let's go wide.
Let's go out with the question, okay?
Because this is so fascinating to me.
Call us.
The question for you is how old is old.
Yep.
But we don't want to hear how old you are first.
No, we don't want to know that.
We'll ask you that after and we'll gain the perspective.
Just be brutally honest with us.
We can take it.
If your number is 32, I will be offended, but I can take it.
If your number is 30, don't call.
Very simple question.
We've got to hear from some 21-year-olds.
We've got to hear from some 40-year-olds.
I want to hear from everyone.
Okay.
0800 dial ZM.
Or you can just text us the number that is old to 9696.
Bree and Clint.
We need to clarify something.
All right?
There's something that needs to be discussed.
We asked the question how old is old because last night one of the bachelors on The Bachelorette said he's 21 and he said to The Bachelorette who's 32,
it's all good, I get on really well with old people.
Not the right thing to say.
And in my opinion, she's definitely not old.
But it's different for everybody and it's all about perspective.
So we've asked how old is old and Bree said 50.
Which I thought was very inclusive.
It was a very nice thing to say.
I thought we were talking about in general,
not in a dating, like people I was going to date sense.
We're talking in a general dating sense.
Okay, I need to change my number.
I know that sounds horrible.
God, there's going to be some disappointed 49-year-olds out there,
but that's fine.
Shut up.
Revise your number.
I would have to say I probably wouldn't date anyone older than 40.
Okay.
Because, not because I think they're old,
but because obviously I want to have kids and do all that stuff.
So 40 is too old?
No, I would date someone up to 40.
Up to 40.
Yeah.
Because there's a difference between old and too old as well.
Like you can date someone and know that they're old,
but they're not too old.
So is it 40?
Yes.
Your number is 40?
Yeah.
Mine is 45.
Producer Ben's was 35
and Ellie's was 60.
Yeah, girl.
She changed hers to 45 as well
once she understood.
Yeah, so we were all kind of confused
at the question.
So we've got a lot of callers here
who are ready to be brave.
You need to understand
that our age range on this show
is from 26 to 32.
Ella is here
and Ella is a broadcasting school intern.
Hi, Ella.
Hello, hello.
How old are you?
I'm 19.
All right, so this is a completely different perspective.
Yeah, a little bit, eh?
Like, before we figured out it's dating,
I thought 35 is a good mark.
Yeah.
But dating?
Dating?
Oh, 26?
Depends on the person, though.
Oh, that's, no, 25.
Ben, producer Ben, you've made the cut.
So just remember, it doesn't have to be the number you wouldn't date above,
just the number you would consider to be old.
If you're dating someone, you're like, man, this person is old.
They like to sit down at concerts or something like that.
I like to sit down at concerts.
You're old.
She said 26.
You're 30.
Get this girl out of here.
You are.
Who invited her in?
Let's go to the phones.
Rebecca's here.
Hey, Rebecca.
Hi.
Bec, what are we talking?
What is old to you?
Well, we can get really technical about this.
I mean, I think 70.
Well, no, no duh.
That is old.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, 90's old. 70's quite young. Because if no, no duh, that is old. No, no, no, no, 90's old.
70's quite young.
Because if you think about it,
if George Clooney asked you out, Brie, would you say yes?
Well, duh.
Yeah, well, he's 70, isn't he?
He is 70.
He is not.
You wait.
No, he's not 70, is he, Rebecca?
George Clooney.
He's much older than your number.
George Clooney's 58.
Oh, shit, sorry.
Thanks, Rebecca.
Yeah, it's still dated. Logan's here. Hey, Logan.
Hi, who are you?
Logan, what are we talking for you? What's old?
Well, anyone that knows
what a VCR is.
Oh!
That's a good gauge. I'm 19. I know what a VCR is. Would! Yeah, no, that's a good gauge.
But I'm 19.
I know what a VCR is.
Would you know how to use one, though?
Would you know how to plug one into a TV and get it working?
Are there wires?
Do you know the difference between the red, yellow, and what was it, black?
White.
All black.
Yeah, sometimes white, yeah.
Logan, how old are you?
14.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, well, that would be over you.
I liked that from Logan.
That was very good.
Logan wasn't born when the last VCR was sold at Decker.
Yeah, true.
Georgia's here.
Hey, Georgia.
Hello.
Georgia, what are you thinking?
Oh, definitely anything over 30.
So is 30 in the cut or out of the cut?
Yeah, 30 makes the cut
Like I was like, you've just turned 30, you know, like
But I said you've been over there
What if
Yeah, you're still cool
What if hypothetically, Georgia, it was your birthday this weekend and you were turning 33?
Oh, no
Was I invited to the party? Like, potential
You wouldn't like it, it's all, like, mushed up food and stuff.
We've all got false teeth.
Yeah, no.
Under 30.
30 and under.
Just quickly, side note, is 33 early 30s still?
No.
Yeah?
I don't think so.
Is 33...
Yeah.
Is it early or mid 30s?
No, it goes 31, 32 is early 30s.
Yeah.
33, 34, 35.
Mid. And 36 is mid. 33, 34, 35. Mid.
And 36 is mid.
No, your scale's way off.
No, your scale's way off.
Everything else.
No.
34 to 37.
Oh, you're clutching.
You're clutching.
Alex is here.
Hi, Alex.
Hi.
It's all about perspective and there's no wrong answers.
You're in a safe place.
But how old is old, Alex?
I reckon 60's old, but in terms of dating, 10 years of your age is old.
Interesting.
Because that means they're a whole generation away from you.
Yeah, 10 years is, over 10 years is too much.
Yeah, and it's just, you're going to look way different
and have different ideas of fun.
You're going to look way different.
One of you is going to be all saggy.
One of you still want to go to
concerts and one of you isn't.
I don't know.
If you get a dude on a midlife crisis, he'll
take you on any concert you want to go to.
I also do think, Alex,
it depends on the person because
my auntie, she is 62
and she can shake it.
I'm telling you.
I struggle to keep up.
Yeah, but would you go to – she might go to a concert,
but it would be still different ideas of concerts or different artists maybe, I feel.
To be honest, she's drunk at all the concerts,
so she doesn't really know what's going on, Alex.
Thanks, Alex.
This has been eye-opening, hasn't it?
It's interesting.
Bree and Clint.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
All right.
Speaking of, you know, where we talk about everyone's age, birthday banger.

But back in 2010, this went to number one.
Katy Perry and Timberland.
Yeah, that's a pretty good song.
Was it Katy Perry?
Is it not? I can't remember. Yeah, it is. Yeah, I think a pretty good song. Was it Katy Perry? Is it not?
I can't remember.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, I think it is.
You're the one who runs the birthday mega computer.
I thought you would have... Probably should have wrote that down.
For some reason I was thinking it was like Nelly Furtado
and I was like...
No, that was the previous...
That was Shock Value 1.
This is Timberland's Shock Value 2.
Right.
Just confirming with Producer Bean,
that was Katy Perry, wasn't it? Yes, it was. Okay, right. This is Timberland's Shock Value 2. Right. Just confirming with Producer Ben, that was Katy Perry, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
Okay, cool.
That is Tom's.
Well done, Tom.

And back in the mid, mid 2000s.
I get it, all right, I get it.
This was number one.
Ella, our 19-year-old radio school intern,
just had a look on her face like, what the hell is this?
I thought she thought about all of these songs.
This is, Sarah, do you know who this is?
I don't know.
This is New Zealand idol, runner-up,
Michael Murphy in So Damn Beautiful.
She's lost for words.
That's fine.

Mumbo No. 5.
Zed and Brian Clint.
That's Lou Bega, Mumbo No. 5.
We're going to spend the whole hour talking about age and we didn't mean to do this.
Oh, fight has broken out in the studio
and I know I'm going to get roasted for this, but I...
Don't you play the country card.
This is not a New Zealand versus Australia thing.
I am from a different country.
Okay, I invite any Australians listening to give feedback on this.
Let me state your position.
No, because you're going to explain it wrong.
Okay, you explain it.
I said in Australia, obviously the year you're born
determines the year you go to school.
That's fine.
So I said someone born in January, say January 1st, 2005,
they will go to school obviously five years later. Yeah. in January, say January 1st, 2005,
they will go to school, obviously, five years later.
Yeah.
So anyone born in that year, to me, is the same age because they go to school the same year.
Bree believes that if you are born in a different year to someone,
then you are that many years older or younger than them.
So in your opinion, so take school out of it.
So it's like Producer Ben and Producer Ellie, right?
Yes.
So Producer Ben is born in March of what year?
1993.
And Ellie is born the year before.
Yeah, August 92.
So technically in my brain, Ellie is a year older than Ben.
When in reality, Ellie is seven months older than Ben.
And we're in the same year
at school by the way.
Take school out.
No, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Take school out of this
equation because we are complicating things here.
No, because that's my whole argument.
So stop taking my whole argument.
We're not at school anymore.
This is where this blows my mind.
You believe if someone is born on the 31st.
You're like, this is very, you're ganging up on me because I'm from Australia.
Okay, I'll take the anger out of it.
I hear you.
I see you.
No, you don't.
Let me reflect this back at you.
So someone is born on the 31st of December, 1999.
Yep.
And then someone else is born on the 1st of January, 2000.
That person who was born one day later is a year older.
Now, I'm not saying they're a year older, but in my brain,
because they would have went to school.
So one person would have went to school a year earlier than the other person, to me
yes, they're in different categories.
But they're a year older than
each other because they were born in different years.
So they're a year older. Because they went to school
a year earlier.
So technically they have a year more life experience.
But you can just say they're a year older
in school but they're not actually a year older.
The other person is a year behind
them in school. How annoying to be like, oh they're not actually a year older. They're not a year older. The other person is a year behind them in school. God, if we really, how annoying to be like, oh,
they're actually eight months, three weeks and two days older.
That's how age works.
Don't talk to me because you Kiwis with your bloody school system
and let's talk about the grades and stuff.
What do you guys call it?
Form 12, Form 17.
Year 1 to 13.
No, that's what it is now.
Simple numbers, mate.
It used to be that.
Ellie goes on about, oh, she was in my sixth form.
And I'm like, what is that?
I'm like, are you talking about grade six?
You're right.
That was dumb.
We fixed that.
We did fix that.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, so in parting, if a lady has twins
and she has one before midnight and one after midnight on New Year's Eve.
They wouldn't do that because they're twins.
They'd keep them together.
Brie and Clint.
A little bit of a warning.
This next topic might not be totally suitable for young ears.
So I'm just going to give you a second if you do have those people in the car.
But it's all about board.
We're not going to go too far into it.
But there's a study that's been done that I read on the Herald, actually,
that talks about the younger generation of Kiwis
and I guess how many of them communicate
and have received at one point in their life nudes?
Oh, nudes.
Okay, can you define young?
So this study, it's done by the Nielsen Survey for the Graham Dingle Foundation.
And apparently...
Graham Dingle sounds like code for a nude.
Be an adult, okay? Hey, I'll send you my Graham Dingle sounds like code for a nude. Be an adult, okay?
Hey, I'll send you my Graham Dingle.
Be an adult.
So they surveyed people ranging from 13 to 24.
Oh, that's a big range.
Isn't it?
Like 13 is very different to 24.
13, no, don't do that.
No, no.
24, we can't control you guys anymore.
You've been to four Rhythm and Vines already.
Live your life at 24.
I don't even know if you've got car insurance.
Go forth.
Go forth and live.
Right.
So apparently the group, the study amount showed that 61% of young Kiwis have received some sort of photo or link or video or something like that.
Solicited or unsolicited?
Because there's a big difference in that too.
It doesn't say here.
I'm hoping it would be solicited.
Consensual news.
Yeah, yeah.
And it also says 42% of those people have used social media to send material.
So I heard producer Ali, who read this as well,
said that a lot of young people now look at it as a way of showing affection.
Yeah.
I like you.
I'll send you my nude.
And the issue with that is, and we've talked about this before,
the minute that it's out there, it's never coming back.
Yeah, I know.
And they also asked this group people if they felt comfortable about
and totally sure that those people that they sent that stuff to
wouldn't send it on to other people.
Yeah, which you can't be 100% sure of.
No, and there was a big percentage of, yeah,
the people that they surveyed that said no, they weren't confident.
Have you ever sent a nude?
There's those ones on your phone that I found last year.
They were not nudes.
They were tasteful photos.
No, they were tasteful.
But they're what I would consider, I reckon those are in this category,
undie photos.
No, but see, technically not a nude.
Yeah, raunchy though.
I found these photos
on Bree's phone by accident
and I wasn't snooping.
She showed me her phone.
I'm so glad we're talking about it.
It was an album
of about a dozen high shots
of her and her Calvin Klein.
Okay.
Very tasteful,
very artistic.
It was just the top.
Could have done with a filter
just for...
Excuse you.
It was the middle of winter
just for skin colour.
Have you? Have I ever sent a nude?
No, no one wants to receive
this. I can't think of anything
that would end a relationship faster than
receiving one of these pictures. So you've never
ever sent a photo
that might be on the more
risque side. I don't believe so,
no. Never ever.
Producer Ben, can we find all of
Clint's exes just to double check
those stats?
Two weeks ago, Gwyneth Paltrow broke the internet
with the news that she was releasing
a vagina candle.
People called her crazy, but I mean
it sold out like it was
going hot. In two hours
the Goop website sold every
single, this smells like my vagina candle that they had.
How many did they have, did it say?
It's a very good question.
Because, I mean, if they had 10, not that big of an accomplishment.
No.
If they had 1,000.
Yeah, I hope there were 1,000 because otherwise,
we've been sucked in.
Either way, it was a $75 candle.
So to move any at $75 Was it $75?
US
Could you eat the candle?
Well, it says
This smells like my
So do what you like with it
I'm not going to criticise what you do
Well it didn't smell
It actually
I read into it
It smelled like flowers and stuff
Bergamot Sandalwood Yeah, exactly Yeah, it was all Whatever Safety of your own home. I read into it. It smelled like flowers and stuff.
Bergamot.
Sandalwood.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it was all, you know, whatever.
It is what it is.
It just got everyone's attention.
There's another candle on the market.
It looks exactly the same as Gwyneth's candle.
So someone's copied her.
Yeah, basically they've copied her. And this candle is called, this candle smells like my penis.
Sorry, I'm uncomfortable with these words.
Okay, when did Mr Bean come?
This candle smells...
I'll just say it, okay?
I'm just trying to be sensitive for the radio.
No.
Being an adult, it's a human body part.
This candle smells like my penis.
No, don't say it like that.
How do I say it?
Because now it sounds like you're saying the candle smells like your penis.
That's what it's called.
Anyway, the.
Why are you holding a candle then?
I am not.
This candle sells for $100.
Oh, come off of it.
On the back of the this candle smells like my penis candle,
it says this candle costs 25% more
than its vagina-smelling equivalent
because even though it's illegal in Canada
to pay women less than men,
the gender pay gap smells as strong as ever.
Boom!
Political statement disguised as a penis candle.
Rope gym with that one, sucker gym,
and now we're talking about the gender pay gap.
There's a lot going on.
There is a lot going on.
Isn't there?
It's a hell of a way to make a statement though.
No word on what the candle.
Yeah, but let's be real.
They just want to make money though.
Yeah.
And no word on what the candle actually smells like.
So.
Yeah.
What does that candle smell like?
If it was to smell accurate, what would that candle smell like?
Clint goes off air when we were talking about this.
Clint goes, I would much rather the vagina candle.
Who's buying the penis candle?
Each to their own, mate.
Each to their own.
Someone comes around and they go, are you burning ham?
Zidane's Freeing Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up. comes around and they go, are you burning ham?
