Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. We need to address what we talked about on yesterday's podcast because we're getting a bit of heat in the podcast group. They want an update. Yeah, on Hot Pie Guy. On Hot Muzzah's Pies. How hot is muzzah? Hot Muzzah's Hot Pies.

Hot Muzzah's Hot Pies. I think that's what the shop's actually called. People said... Not the hot part at the start though. Yeah, people said... Because we talked about going this morning And you know what? Life gets away on you

Sometimes you don't get a chance to We're busy at the moment But we've talked about it We've discussed We've decided that we need to investigate If Hot Muzza from Hot Muzza's Pies is actually hot Yeah So we will be going to Muzza's Hot Pies next week

Yeah It doesn't take much to get us on board with an idea that involves pies. And hot people. Wait, are we recording this? I forgot to ask if we were recording. Sorry. I just started without asking today. I'm pretty on to it. Yeah, well done. Sorry, I just had a thought. Whoa, are we talking

to anyone? Whoa, buzzy G. Anyway, yeah, stay tuned. We're going to do some background work. I think this weekend you should do the groundwork. Okay, I can do that. Go into Hot Muzz's pipes. I mean, yeah, no, there's that one picture that we've seen on the internet which could be linked to Hot Muzz. Yeah.

I'd like you to go in there and just casually ask what days he works. Okay. Because I don't want to bother going there if he's not there. Right. Actually, no, I don't care. I kind't want to bother going there if he's not there. Right. Actually, no, I don't care. I kind of want to be surprised, though, too. I've never seen him. Oh, have you not?

I've never seen him. I've eaten his pies. Oh, is this a wild goose chase? This is hearsay in the suburb. Don't say the suburb. I'm not going to say the suburb. But this is hearsay from the suburb. Don't say the suburb yet.

Yeah. We will say the suburb eventually. Yeah. We will say the suburb eventually. Yeah. But I don't want the poor guy to get bombarded before then. Producer Ellie, though, I did look into whether he had a chicken, cranberry, camembert and cranberry pie. Yeah. Affirmative he does.

Yes. Cool. What about like an apricot chicken? Can you relax? No. Okay. It's an in joke, but Ellie has the fruitiest pie. She has the weirdest.

And I don't mean fruit pies. I mean just weird pie options. Weird pie selection. Meat and fruit. Yeah. Meat and fruit? That's a great way to sum you up. Like if there was like a whole roast dinner in a pie, you'd be like, ooh, me.

Oh, no, I'm keen. Oh, my God. Roast dinner pie. I'm keen for that. We should make that. Have you had a hangi pie yet? No. Hangi, for our international listeners,

is the traditional Maori way of cooking food underground. Like an umu for the Pacific Islanders. And some people do hangi pies. They'll put all the ingredients from a hangi into a pie. Oh, yeah, nice. Yes! I used to go to this pie shop in Brisbane, in Mount Gravatt, for our Brisbane listeners.

It's called Pie, but like three point blah, blah, blah. One seven. Yeah, like whatever it is. Anyway, they used to do a... Ben flexing his knowledge of pie to two decimal places. I think it's 3.14. What did you say? He said 3.17.

I think it's 3.14. 3.145. No, 3.145, I'm pretty sure. What did you say? He said 3.17. I think it's 3.14. 3.145. No, 3.145. I'm pretty sure. What is it? Great. A little mathematician over here. Who's flexing out? 3.14, yeah. Nice. It's 3.14. And then what's the next number? 1. But 5 is after. 5 is after, right.

There's not even any 7s at all. There you go. It's 3.14. Have you guys already done this? I just found it on Google. Welcome to the party. I want you to do it. No, we've actually already done it. Okay, sweet.

Anyway, what I was saying Who was right? I was. Don't worry, move on. What I was saying is that if you're in Brisbane, if you're around Mount Cravat, go to the pie shop

and he does a big breakfast pie. Oh, yeah. Everything that you get in a big breakfast is in this pie and it's amazing. What's the name of the pie place? It's like pie

but like 3.14. So what's the name of the pie place? It's the symbol pie. Oh right. Oh no wait I got it wrong actually. That's a nerd flex for a pie restaurant. It's actually pie-fection now that I think about it. So is it the pie symbol

fiction? Yeah, it's got the symbol See, that's a brain flex. The smart nerds will be like, I love that place. Most people will be like, what is that? What is that? Ew, maths! I'm not eating that. Gross.

Basically, this has been a long-winded discussion to say. About pies. Mother's pies? No, we haven't been yet. We'll go soon. Mother, we're coming for you. Imagine if he's a podcaster. That'd be good.

That would be weird, wouldn't it? If you are, can you please wear a tank top? I think he might already wear tank tops. It's unhygienic, but just Monday to Friday next year, because we don't know what day we're coming. Anytime. Just wear as little as possible, hot muzz. Okay, that's enough.

Here's today's podcast. Bye. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m., give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one.

If you give us your phone number we're going to send a keyword out to everyone at the exact same time and the first person who calls us back on 0800 is going to get $1000 cash, a three month Neon subscription

and a personalised Love Island drink bottle. Only if you can tell us what that keyword was. Yeah, thanks to Love Island UK, which is streaming now on Neon TV. I was watching it last night and let me say some bombs were dropped. I haven't watched last night's episode yet.

I won't say, but let's just, oh, it's getting juicy. Today on the show, we need to cover up our big trip. Tomorrow we attend the closing of the world's last Blockbuster store. We're driving to Dargaville, north of Auckland, about two and a half hours north of where we are. And we're going to be there as they close down the last Blockbuster, in the country at least, the owner of the store, Steve? Steve. Chris. Chris.

Yeah. Chris reckons it's the last in the world. We've really bonded with him. To me, Steve and Chris are the same name. I've talked to you about this. I have name categories and those are the same name. Right, so he should just deal with that. Yeah, and Ben is in there as well.

Is that why you call Ben? It's the same name. Right, so he should just deal with that. Yeah, and Ben is in there as well. Is that why you call Ben... It's the same name in my mind. Is that why you call producer Ben Steve all the time? Well, it's just, you know, yeah. No, I don't know. Mark. Mark's in there too. Mark's in the mix, Tim.

Nah, Tim's a bit prettier because he's a Timothy. Oh, what about Tom? Tom's in there, yeah. I'd love to get inside your brain and see how it works in there. You know, single syllable. Don't be offended, Ben. I'm talking about single syllable white bread names. What about like Tom as Thomas, Ben as Benjamin, you know?

It's my mind, okay? Don't criticize me. Okay, mate. Hey, up next, I want to tell you about an iconic phone that I'm sure everyone, all of us remember. It's coming back. They've revamped it and you'll be able to buy it next month. Oh, is it the Uniden cordless home phone?

It's not. And it's also not the 3315 from Nokia. Is it that landline that looked like a hamburger? I hope so. Oh, the duck phone that was on Jersey Shore. Fingers crossed. We'll talk about it after Post Malone and Circles. Brian Clint.

Send him. Brian Clint. I told you earlier that there's a retro phone that we all remember from our teenage years. Very popular phone back in the day, the Motorola Razr. Hello, Moto. Hello, Moto. Hello, Moto. Obviously, it was the flip phone.

The pink phone that Paris Hilton had. There was a pink version. There was a blue version. There was silver. There was actually other multiple colours too. Megan Pappas had the pink one. Did she? Yeah.

She would have the pink one. When I knew her in her old life. She was so trendy. She was. Well, she is. She is so trendy, I think. She is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It doesn't surprise me. But, I mean, she is. She is so trendy, I think. She is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, she has been for a long time. Long time coming, yeah. She's such a pink flip phone girl, too. Yeah, she is. But everyone knew that phone. It was pretty iconic and Motorola announced, and I think we talked about this at the end of last year

that they were releasing an updated version of the Motorola Razr. Well, the time is finally here because next month, the new updated Motorola Razr will be on the market and you'll be able to purchase it. It's quite interesting too because obviously, you know, we all remember the old Motorola Razr had the little screen. Wait, a screen and buttons.

Is this a flip phone? It has to be a flip phone. I don't care if it's not a... So it actually looks very similar to the old school Motorola Razr. And it is a flip phone. That's it there. It's got a screen on the front,

which will show you like little notifications and things. And then once you open it... Which the original had a screen on the front too. Yeah, but tiny. Small, non-touch screen. Yeah, and once you open this one, it actually is technically a fully... It's a full fold phone. So it's one surface. It's one screen and it's actually, yeah, so the screen is actually bigger than an iPhone 11. Yeah.

Oh, really? It's that big? So it's fractionally bigger than a Galaxy S10 or an iPhone 11. I went to a Samsung event last year where they debuted their folding technology for the first time. Yeah, their fold phone looks so cool. It's crazy what they can do. So it's a seamless screen and then it just folds in half. I don't know how they do it.

Yeah, that's the Galaxy Fold. That's the Galaxy Fold. And then Samsung are looking at putting out a flip phone too. So flip phones must be the thing to have. Yeah, so that's on here. They're looking at putting their own version of the flip. So I reckon it's back in fashion. You know why it's back in fashion? Because there's nothing more enjoyable than actually hanging up a phone call.

Because you don't have that anymore. If you had a phone call in the past, you weren't enjoying it. You go, goodbye, and slam the phone down. And with a flip phone, you go, goodbye, and snap it closed. Now you have to go, goodbye, touchscreen. Yeah, it isn't as fun. It's not the same. You're definitely right.

There was something really cool about the flip phones, but they did go out of fashion for a bit. You know how many old school Motorola razors they sold in Australia? No. Weirdly, I don't know that number. Well, apparently over the two years, they sold 1.2 million of those phones. Yeah, so everybody in Australia had a Motorola razor. Pretty much everyone.

But I don't know about this new one. If you've got a cool $2,699, you can pick up the new Motorola Razr. $2,600 for a flip phone? Yeah. I'm good. It's cool, though. It's nostalgic. We'll get two regular phones and stick them together.

Remember how we used to play Trash or Treasure on this show? It was one of my favourite games until it got ripped away from us because one member of the team couldn't be bothered with it anymore. Well, Ben told us he ran out of items. I 100% ran out of items. It's not because I can't be bothered. There's no items left to go. Are you eating right now?

I wasn't ready for you to come to me. Well, I have a new item. You're talking about him not being bothered and he's eating during the show. He lives faster than most. It's his New Year's resolution. He does, he does. I have a new item.

So think of this as a one-off version of Trash or Treasure that I'm going to play with you, Brie. Okay. So there is a guy who is a former, what is it, US Air Force veteran. Okay. He served in the 70s. I think he might have been in Vietnam.

Vietnam, yeah. Because he ended up being stationed in Thailand. And when he was there, he bought himself a Rolex. He saw all these other pilots wearing Rolex. Well, he bought himself a Rolex in Thailand. So probably fake. But he bought it in the 70s. So were knockoffs that big back then?

Probably not that big, but I'd say they still existed. He paid $354 for his Rolex in 1975. Well, I think he assumed he was buying a real Rolex. It was a real one, yeah. And now he's decided to take it on Antiques Roadshow. Okay. The actual Antiques Roadshow. This is the Antiques Roadshow. Okay. The actual Antiques Roadshow. This is the

Antiques Roadshow guy assessing the Rolex. Watch is more special. It says oyster on it. They did that for an extremely short period of time. We refer to that as a Mark II dial. This particular model, being marked oyster, is extremely, extremely

rare. So Bree, hearing that, do you think that item is trash worth under $5,000 or treasure worth over $5,000? Well, when you hear the guy from Antiques Roadshow say extremely rare, I'm going to say it's treasure worth over $5,000. Well, let's see what this guy's $350 Rolex is actually worth. It's worth about $400,000. Well, let's see what this guy's $350 Rolex is actually worth. It's worth about $400,000. $400,000.

The guy collapsed. So he literally fell over when he said that. $400,000. You're joking. It gets better because he's never worn the Rolex. He purchased it and then decided it was too nice to wear. So he's kept it in its box. It's so rare that they think that the Rolex that he has is the best condition of that Rolex that there is in existence.

And they reckon at auction that that watch could go for a million dollars. Oh my God. That's why you watch Antiques Roadshow. That's the stuff that you dream of, right? Those are the moments where you go, this guy is just, he's made a fortune out of something that was lying around his house. I bought a Baby G watch in Thailand that might be worth something. We should get it.

We should get it assessed. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, the Queen's got Facebook. The Queen has Facebook. I know I bring her up a lot, and I know it's weird that I bring her up a lot, but the Queen of England has Facebook. Let me give you the back story.

First of all, she has an iPhone. She also has an iPad. Okay, very modern, very hip. And we found out today that the Queen has a Facebook page. Now, it's like a private one. Apparently, no one outside the palace knows how many friends she's got. That's hilarious. That's just hilarious in itself.

So it's private. I imagine that the main picture is probably a corgi. You know how people like to put their dog? Oh, yeah. Yeah. For sure. I think it's a corgi. I'm getting corgi vibes.

I don't know what her name is, whether she's mixed letters around, whether it's Elizabeth. I don't know. Maybe she uses her middle name. Yeah, maybe that's in there. Do you reckon she pokes people on Facebook? Using the poke feature? She would. I reckon she there. Do you reckon she pokes people on Facebook? Using the poke feature? Yeah.

She would. I reckon she would. Can you still poke? I'm not even sure you can. I think you can. What if her profile picture was just a selfie that she's taking of her and Philip and she's got her arm held out

and it's just those two out in the garden? Yeah, it beggars a lot of questions like who is she friends with on there? Is she still friends with Megan after everything that's gone down? And also, is there a certain group of Illuminati that Zuckerberg goes, okay, this is a different sort of Facebook page that you get? You know how there's some people like Barack Obama. A high security one.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure his Facebook page is not searchable kind of thing. Because do you guys remember there was those rumours because Meghan Markle obviously wasn't always royal. So she had her own Instagram page. And she had like however many million followers on there. And when she became royal, they told her to delete the Instagram. And she sometimes goes back on there. Do you remember those rumours?

Yeah, she reactivates it, goes on for a look and then has to deactivate it again. She can do whatever she wants now. Not anymore, yeah. That's probably why this all started. Because she wanted to get back on the ground. She couldn't check her stories every day. She's like, I'm over this. Harry, we're getting out of here.

That's fascinating, Dean. If you find a link to the Queen's Facebook page, send it through. Brie wants to poke her. That's Dean McCarthy. Live from Los Angeles, he's a Hollywood correspondent. Harry, on the other hand, I'd poke him in a heartbeat. Bree and Clint.

I'm super excited because tomorrow you and I, Clint, and the whole show are travelling to Dargaville to be a part of the closing down of the last ever blockbuster. I mean, excited's not the right word. I'm sad. I'm excited too because it'll be very cool. I'm nostalgic. It's nostalgic.

It's a bit of everything. Yeah. And we're trying to give Chris a hand who owns it and, you know, just hype it up as much as we can. Maybe we'd save the store. Turn it into an event, right? The guy's trying to clear out a backlog of 17,000 DVDs that no one's renting

anymore. We said, how much business are you doing? He said he'd probably be lucky to do 10 or 20 DVD rentals a day. And it's not enough to keep the store open. So now he has to get rid of as many of these DVDs as he can. And we had the idea that obviously we're going to be there, we're going to be

in amongst it. There's 17,000 DVDs. I wonder if he's got any rare ones that we could pick through. Yeah, is there such thing as a valuable DVD in 2020? Yeah. So I've been doing some research online because obviously we need to do that before we head up there tomorrow and I've found a few DVDs that are the more rarer ones. Okay, what are we looking for when we get there?

So the Friday the 13th series, obviously that's the one with Freddy Krueger. Yeah. And who's the other guy in there? There's a few villains in that. Anyway, the full set of the Friday the 13th is worth quite a lot of money. How much money are we talking? We're talking about $300. Oh, yeah? For the full set of the Friday the 13th is worth quite a lot of money. How much money are we talking? We're talking about $300.

Oh, yeah? For the full set. How many in the set? Because he's hocking these things off at $2 a DVD. That's a great question. Includes all the films in the franchise plus an exclusive. Okay. There's quite a lot.

There's quite a lot. Yeah. So maybe not that. What about just one DVD? Yeah, that's more likely. See, that we can look for. Have you ever heard of a movie called The Third Man? No.

Criterion? No. It's called on Blu-ray? Well, apparently that DVD just by itself is worth $390. For a Blu-ray? For a Blu-ray. Very rare. Have we got a Blu-ray player? Anyone got a Blu-ray. For a Blu-ray. Very rare. Have we got a Blu-ray player?

Anyone got a Blu-ray player? You remember back in, like, when you're in high school, like, when you go over to your friend's house and if they had Blu-ray, they were, like, super fancy. I invested quite heavily in Blu-ray. I was like, this is the future of viewing. I bought a PS3 just so I could watch Blu-rays. I think that was a bad decision. It definitely was.

I've got a box of DVDs, Blu-ray DVDs out in the garage. So question, could you play normal DVDs on a Blu-ray? Yes. Could you play Blu-ray DVDs on a normal DVD player? No. You had to have a Blu-ray player. Yeah, see, that's where you've gone wrong. Well, anybody who heavily invested in movies on disc

is now heavily regretting that decision. I think Blu-ray more so. People have got libraries of DVDs at home. That's only good for when the internet's out. And when does that happen anymore?

Almost never. Blu-ray was the expert level of bad decisions. 100%. Yeah. I know that now. Yeah, well, we all know that now.

Anything else that we're looking for in the blockuster store? These are a couple more. One of my favourite movies as a kid, apparently it's super rare, is Drop Dead Fred on DVD. Oh, yeah. Do you remember that film?

No. You don't remember that film? Drop Dead Fred. Drop Dead Fred. It was, like, iconic. Anyway, that movie there is worth up to $500 just for that DVD. Whoa. Do you remember that film? 1991, Drop Dead Fred. No, to $500 just for that DVD. Whoa. Do you remember that film?

1991, Drop Dead Fred. No, absolutely not, but it sounds fun. It's a really fun movie. And, of course, who hasn't heard of Terminator? Terminator 2 Judgment Day Skynet Edition on Blu-ray is also worth an absolute packet, which we can look for that too. Okay, sweet. I mean, as if he's not going to have Terminator.

As if he's not going to have Terminator 1 and 2. Exactly. We'll buy the set and we'll sell it as a set. Yeah, cool. We're also looking for, I'm looking to get the Die Hard trilogy. Yeah, that'd be great. I'm looking to get True Lies because I used to have that on DVD back in the day. Yeah, I'm looking.

That's with Arnold Schwarzenegger. True Lies, yeah. And what else are you looking for? I wouldn't mind re-watching I Know What You Did Last Summer. Yeah, because that was such a good movie. Yeah, and maybe American Beauty.

Not for the Kevin Spacey side of it. More for the Mina Savari. Yeah, it's iconic. Yeah, no, there is a few scenes in there that are great. Anyway, hey, you can look for all of those tomorrow.

Oh, wait, I rescinded that comment. No, we don't like American Beauty anymore. It's gross. Oops, I take the whole thing back. Ugh, sorry. I'm sorry. No, this isn't live. We can cut it out.

I've just gathered the whole family here so I can make a bit of an announcement. Bree's here. Producer Ben and Ellie, you guys are here, yeah? Yes. And all the members of the BNC family listening right now. I've made a decision

in my life. To what? To stop doing something? Yeah, to make a change. You're not going to wax your chest anymore? No, I've never waxed my chest. I can't think of anything worse to be honest. You shaved your chest. No, I've decided that after about a year and a half, I will be selling my GoPro.

I've decided. I've decided to. I've decided. I mean. I will give up my mantle as the GoPro guy on the show. I feel like... And I've decided, Bree, of my own volition, that it is better to liquidate that asset

than it is to hold on to it any longer. I feel like this is probably the one moment in my life that this will be the most relevant to ever say, I hate to say I told you so. You don't hate it. You absolutely love it. I do. I love it.

But I won't argue with you. You did say this when I purchased it. I'm so smug. Can I say that I purchased that GoPro with every intention of using it to its fullest. So does everyone else. And when I purchased it, I bought a selfie stick. I bought all these things.

Ben gave me a whole bag full of accessories. He gave me a remote timer, charging pads. The one thing I knew about you, because I didn't know you all that well, but when you said to me you were going to buy a GoPro, the one thing I knew about you is that you weren't very extreme. So I knew you weren't ever going to get that much use out of the GoPro. I thought buying the GoPro would encourage me to be more extreme. It's like when you're doing clothes shopping and you buy a pair of pants that are like

half a size too small because you think it's going to encourage you to fit them. No, it never works. I've got so many pants that are too small for me in my cupboard, honestly. You should just accept who you are and after 18 months I've decided to accept that I am not a GoPro guy.

I'm proud of you for accepting it because, I mean, the one photo he took was inside a sporting stadium. He wasn't playing the sport. He just took a photo with it inside.

I've also realised something else. My phone does everything that I want the GoPro to do. I'm pretty sure Bree said that to you when you got it. I literally said it. I was like, phones these days are just as good. And guess what? They're waterproof. They're water resistant.

I've got a Samsung and the wide angle on it is fantastic. Do you know that's the only reason I bought the GoPro was to get that fisheye look? I have seen on the Bachelorette that they're using GoPros a lot. Maybe they'll buy it. Maybe you could sell it to the guys on The Bachelorette. That's a great idea. Or anybody here want to buy a GoPro?

Oh, I think I'm all right. It's barely been used. Yeah. Do I have to buy all my accessories back? No, no, no, I'll do you a deal on those. Dude, I have a GoPro that I already don't use. So I don't want another one. I'm not the only person who will have done something like this though.

I won't be the only person who's made a fairly substantial purchase with every intention of using it. Of going, this is me, I'm going to be a mountain biker. I'm going to be a snowboarder. Yeah, I've got a longboard skateboard sitting at home. Exactly what I'm talking about. Never used it. Never used it. It's in mint condition right and how much did you pay for it?

Oh like $350. But you had the intention of using it. Producer Ben wants it sold. You didn't buy it because you loved longboarding you bought it because you wanted to love longboarding right? No it was actually my second longboard that I'd bought. I actually used the first one and then I got old.

Yeah, well, there's that too. See? What did you buy? This is what we're going to ask. I know 800 dials at M. What was the big purchase? Yeah, what did you buy and never use? You had every intention of using it.

Maybe you were buying it to motivate yourself to do that thing or maybe you just got conned into it. What was your big purchase that you never, ever used? Every T-shirt in my wardrobe apart from six of them. Oh, $100.00 at M or you can text us as well on 9696. It's important in your life to be able to admit when you were a sucker and I can because I... And you were...

I was... I was naive to think I can And you were I was I was naive You were I was wrong I was wrong to think that buying a GoPro Would make me a GoPro guy And I You were right

In this situation you were right And if you had been a bit more Like if you'd been a better friend And spent more time trying to convince me I spent a long time trying to convince you. You could have saved me $700 I told you don't spend the money your phone does everything that does

now. You're not extreme you're not going to use it. I bought the top of the line GoPro and I used it I took three photos. You bought the top of the line one too. Yeah because I wanted I was like if I'm going to do this, I've got to do it right. If I'm going to be a GoPro guy, I've got to be a GoPro guy. Were you trying to be Logan Dodds or something?

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to do. His stuff is amazing. Exactly right. That's exactly what I wanted. You need to admit that you're not Logan Dodds. And I've admitted that to myself now, and that's why the GoPro is going on Trade Me. But I won't be the only one who's done this.

Who else out there bought something with every intention of using it and then never used it? That's me every day. And what is that item? Zach's here. Hey, Zach. Hi, Zach. Hey, guys.

How you going? Good, thank you. What did you buy, Zach, but you don't use? Last year, for my birthday, I decided to buy myself a Canon Mark, I don't know, whatever it was, and it was three and a half grand. I bought an extra two and a half grand with the lenses. We're talking a digital camera here, aren't we?

That's what you bought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A DSLR, right? That's what they call them. Zach, Clint and I literally in the break, we were just talking about this and we said, why are people, unless you're a photographer... Unless you work for a newspaper... Don't buy an actual camera.

How many times... Hey, look, I wanted to get an exam mortgage, so that didn't work out. I get it, I get it. And some people get beautiful photographs, but they don't get those by just buying the camera. That's the thing. That's like me thinking that buying the GoPro,

I was going to make Logan Dodd-style videos. But it doesn't work like that. It doesn't work like that. How many times have you used the camera, Zach? I've used it once. I took some very nice photos of some trees out the back of my house. So I'm selling those photos for $50, but apart from that. Zach, sell the damn camera.

This is a kick up the butt that you need. Take the loss, brother. Sell it for $500. It doesn't matter. Get some money back. 500? How much did he pay for it? Three and a half grand plus two and a half grand of lenses.

No, no. He could get way more for it. It's worth nothing in the cupboard. This is what I've decided in 2020 as well. It's worth nothing in the cupboard. So it doesn't matter what you get for it. Bree is here. Hi, Bree.

Hi, Bree. Hi. What did you buy, Bree, and you don't use anymore? I spent $500 on a push bike, and I had this vision I was going to go riding every weekend and go out using it and get fit, and it just didn't happen. I think I went riding three days in a row. Three days is not bad. Three days in a row, and then I didn't touch it again.

I can relate. I bet you can. I have a mint white remember when fixies were cool? You're selling that too by the way. Remember when fixie bikes were cool? Like my fixie is very cool but it's got no gears it doesn't go up any hills. Like I'm never

going to ride that bike. Because it's a hipster bike. Exactly right I bought a hipster bike. Brie have you sold the bike yet? Have you cut your losses? No I did try to sell it once and then the lady decided she didn't want it. Oh no. It's still sitting there. That lady's smarter than us, Bree.

At least she's tried. You know what I bought? This was years ago. I decided I needed the top of the range iPad mini. I needed the top. That's a classic. I needed the biggest storage you could get. 3G.

I needed the 3G. I needed the rose gold one. Because classic. I needed the biggest storage you could get. 3G. I needed the 3G. I needed the rose gold one. Because it was going to revolutionise your life, right? Exactly. I literally did not use it. And I sold it last year on Trade Me for literally not even a quarter of the price. Let's ask Hamish finally. Hamish, what did you buy and never use, man?

Hannah. Sorry, Hannah. Oh, okay. I'll call myself Hamish. No, no. Sorry, Hannah. Oh, okay. I'll call myself Hamish. Sorry, I read it wrong. Hannah, what did you buy? It'd be worse if we talked to you and then he called you Hamish, Hannah. So

my partner went and spent $13,000 on a brand new motorcycle and never rode it. What do you mean, never rode it? So he copped on it, maybe did like three hours, and then decided to sell it. So it got sold.

Yeah. For how much? But it was $13,000. Yeah. But how much did he sell it for? He sold it for nine, so what lost? $4,000. Can I do math?

So those three hours were worth the four grand or? Oh, mate. His funeral would have cost more. Yeah, well, that's true. Hey, good on you, Hamish. Thank you. Thanks, Hamish. This is my parting advice to you, or two bits of advice, actually.

One, do a stock take on your life. Do it tonight. Go around your house. Be ruthless. Find the stuff you don't use and sell it. And my other piece of advice, find me on TradeMe. I've got a mint GoPro to sell. Something we did on the show last year that all of us in here found quite interesting, but also quite confronting is a segment that we like to call Unpopular Opinions, where essentially people who are brave enough, you call us up and you tell us an opinion

that is quite unpopular with everyone else. It's controversial. It requires you being brave and swimming against the current. Yes. Because you're not a sheep. You're rubbing people the wrong way. You're going against the grain. And what we've found too is quite often you're a pioneer

and you're ahead of the curve and you may believe something that no one else believes yet and at this stage it's unpopular. It may become popular in the future. Until you put it in their mind. I thought we could give it a go. I've got a few that I've been gathering. You've got some?

Yeah, give me one of your unpopular opinions. Here's an unpopular opinion. Friends is better than Seinfeld. That's going to really piss some people off. Yeah. I do love Seinfeld. Yeah. But obviously I'm in the generation where I grew up with friends more.

So that's who you'll piss off as people who are old enough to appreciate both. Not me because I'm young like you. So who are you? You're with me. Yeah, I've never seen Seinfeld. Oh. Okay, unpopular opinion but I've never seen Seinfeld. That's not okay.

I've seen a couple of memes about it. That's not okay. Okay, I'll try one. Here we go. You try one. Unpopular opinion, but there's too many of those new soda, water and vodka drinks. There's too many.

We don't need any more. Nah, bring them on. Nah, don't make any more. There's too many. Nah, I love all of them. There's too many. Yeah, no, I like it. There's some good ones.

The African rhinos. Yeah, the park rangers are good. Yeah. The pals are good. The pink rhinos. But everyone's making one now. No more, my unpopular opinion, but stop making soda, water, vodka drinks. That's not my opinion, can I say.

Bring them on. It's an unpopular opinion. No, I like it. That's why I'm disagreeing. Anyone in the producer's booth got an unpopular opinion? Anyone brave enough? Yeah, I have no interest in going to the Coliseum and don't find it very interesting. It doesn't impress me. So you're it very interesting. It doesn't impress me.

So you're saying you think the Coliseum is overrated. I do. More than that, you are saying that the Coliseum is unimpressive. I just, I don't know. Are you all right in the head? Like, cool. That is one of the, it's literally. Have you seen Gladiator?

Yeah, that's a great movie. When it was good. See, he's got us. He's got us. It's an unpopular opinion. See,

that's why we're getting riled up. We're getting riled up. You need to remember this. You need to remember this about the segment because the objective is to rile other people up with your unpopular opinion.

Producer Ellie's been stressing about finding an unpopular opinion for about three hours. I have. Have you got one? Look, I always go with music things I feel and you know I don't really like Drake's music.

I also don't like... Music? Yeah, sorry. I also don't like Khalid's music. You're just a hater. No, it's just droney. Go and listen to the sound, honestly. I would love to. We know you would. The bassist. We know you would.

But see, it's worked again. Unpopular opinion. Gets you riled up. Have you got one that you want to share with us this afternoon? We'd love you to be brave enough to call us up on 0800-DIAL-ZM. We'll be as supportive as we can. I can't guarantee that. Yeah, true.

If your unpopular opinion triggers me, you'll hear about it. But that's okay. That's the point of the game, okay? Yeah, exactly. Call us now, 0800DIALZM, or you can text us on 9696, your unpopular opinions. This is Billie Eilish and everything I wanted. Unpopular opinion, but she won too many Grammys. Oh, yeah, kind of agree.

Bree and Clint. The segment is back that ruffles feathers, and it's meant to. That's why we're doing it. Unpopular opinions. Yeah, you basically finished this sentence. Unpopular opinion, but. But. Like, I'll do one.

Unpopular opinion, but. I actually do want to see what Disney character you got on that Instagram filter thing. Yeah, I kind of do too. Like, I kind of enjoy it. People are like, oh, no one cares what burger you are from McDonald's. I kind of like it. Yeah, I kind of do too. I kind of enjoy it. People are like, oh, no one cares what burger you are from McDonald's. I kind of like it. Yeah, I don't mind it.

I quite enjoy it. Unpopular opinion, but I think females should be allowed to use the men's toilet if our line is too long. No. See, that's why it's an unpopular opinion. We don't have cubicles. There's cubicles in there. Yeah, but we're in there just swinging it around.

Yeah, but I mean, we're all humans. I think it's a safe space. Sometimes we have to wait for ages. Yeah, that's your punishment. See, unpopular opinion. Sarah's here. Hey, Sarah. Hey, unpopular opinion, but I couldn't care less about the royal family.

Yeah. I'd rather get rid of them. Yes, me too, Sarah. Unpopular opinion, you hate the royals. I reckon you I'm ready to get rid of them. Yes, me too, Sarah. I'm probably their opinion you hate the royals. I reckon you're about split 50-50. Like, there's... With people.

Yeah, right? Some people are pretty passionate about it. I don't mind it, but I mean, it just goes on. They get more coverage than they need, don't they? Yeah, it goes on and on. Yeah, okay.

Thanks for calling through. You're a brave person. Jacinta's here. Hey, Jacinta. Hi, how are you going? Good, thank you. What's your unpopular opinion? Eating animals is disgusting.

Do we have a vegetarian, a pescatarian, or a vegan on the phone? Oh, I'm not sure it is, but vegan. Vegan. I don't know if that's a super unpopular opinion anymore, though, Jacinta. I hope not. I really hope not. I fall into the pescatarian category, Jacinta, so I hear you. But if you show up to a barbecue this summer and espouse this opinion,

it will be incredibly unpopular, right? Oh, no, because I always turn it with delicious food. Yeah, well, that's one way to win people over, Jacinta. Jacinta the vegan has an unpopular opinion. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks, Emily. Go on, give it to us. Oh, it's not a food one, but I can't stand the taste

of eggs, and I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan. A vegetarian? Yeah, that one. I find it really hard on the breakfast menus because there's all eggs. Unpopular opinion, Emily, but I think aubergine or eggplant is absolute crap. I hate it.

Yeah, which is weird for you as an Italian. Oh, don't even get me started on eggplant parmigiana. That is the devil. It is not the devil. It's a stable part of your cuisine. It is horrific. It's not horrific. It's fantastic stable part of your cuisine. It is horrific. It's not horrific. It's fantastic.

What about an eggplant lasagna? Another unpopular opinion from Richie. Hey, Richie. Hey, can I tell you? Good man. What's your unpopular opinion? All right, so I'm just building on from before what you guys were talking about,

friends and science. Yes, all right. So my unpopulated opinion would be that the best TV series to hit modern airways over the last 12 years is The Big Bang Theory. Ban him from the telephones right now. No, Brie would have to – Richie, you are banned from the show. Brie would have to agree with you on that.

No, I don't. Oh, yeah, I'll tell you what. Richie, you know better. There's a have to agree with you on that. I don't know. Oh, yeah, I'll tell you what. Richie, you know me. Richie, there's a Facebook page I encourage you to join. It's called the Brie Thomas Owl Big Bang Theory Fan Page Bazinga. Richie, I'm going to come to your house and find you. You know this show. All you guys was in a hot dance.

Deep in the air. 40 billion years ago. Expansion star. I can hear you over in Austin. Yeah. I'm leaving. I mean, the Rembrandts have nothing. They're never in law. Richie, I'm about to have a rage blackout.

Hey, Richie. I'll be there for you, okay? There you go, that's unpopular opinions. Was he all right? Told you it'll rile a few people up. Oh, that one, not impressed. Brie and Clint. Love.

Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. Here we go. It's our movie guessing game where I read out plot lines to movies

and if you can guess them faster than Brie, you can win for yourself some mobile fuel. This year the fuel is jackpotting when it doesn't go. Yeah, I want to see how much I can jackpot it. Yeah, well, after one week we're up to $100. Okay. Goes up $50 a week. Today playing you for the title is Callum. Hey, Callum. Yeah, I want to see how much I can jackpot it. Yeah, well, after one week, we're up to $100. Okay. Goes up $50 a week. Today playing you for the title is Callum.

Hey, Callum. Hello, Callum. How's it going? Good, thank you. I've said that today's theme is sports movies. Do you know your sports movies? I think I do, yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Good luck to everybody playing today. Callum, if you haven't played before, I'll start reading a plot. As soon as you know what it is, buzz in with your name. Don't wait for me to finish. It's best of three. Good luck, everybody.

All right. Movie number one. A hockey player wannabe joins the PGA. Callum. Callum. Happy Gilmore. Happy Gilmore. Oh, damn it!

It's correct. It's one of my favourite films. Happy Gilmore. Happy Gilmore. Oh, damn it! Is correct. One of my favourite films. No excuses there. I don't think you love it quite as much as Kellum does. Here we go. Movie number two. Jess is not permitted to play her favourite sport, even though she's 18.

Bree. Bree. Bend it like Beckham. Bend it like Beckham. Bend it like Beckham is correct. Get in. Here we go. We're already at the decider. Sports movies.

Final plot. Average Joe's gym. Bree. Bree. Dodgeverage Joe's gym. Bree. Bree. Dodge ball for the win. Sorry, Cal. All good. I had faith in you, man.

When you got out of the block so fast with that hippie Gilmore, I was like, he's onto this. My butt cheeks were tightening up. I can brace it at least in the Big Bang Theory theme song. Get Callum's banned from the phones. I think Callum's got a point. No. I don't know it.

I don't know it. I won. Why am I getting this treatment? Is Callum saying turn it up? No, Callum, we won't turn it up. We can't, it's as loud as it goes. Okay, the Fuel Jackpots to $150 and we play What's the Plot again next week.

Let's go. Have you ever thought about what you envy the most in the opposite sex? Because over the last couple of days, there's conversations we've had in here and then I asked my friends at home and it's quite interesting to think about what you actually do envy the most.

Can I say how it really came up? Yeah. Ben got gout and then I was sympathising with him. And you said... I was like, oh, it's so awful, man. I've had it. Sorry for outing your gout, by the way, Ben. Don't be ashamed by your gout, Ben.

It's unconfirmed, right? It's unconfirmed gout. I think it's gone. He has suspected gout. And I was complaining, saying, oh, you've got it tough now, man. And you girls piped up and went... No, you said, oh, it's the most common in men, gout. Yeah, it is.

And I said, oh, and you go, oh, it's the most common in men. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. And I said, oh, and you go, oh, it's so horrible. And I said, oh, try something that happens every single month for the rest of your life. You can say it. We're adults. I said, try getting your period once you're 12-ish every month for the rest of your life. I'm a feminist, Brie.

Can we please drop the stigma around the word period? Oh, come on. You don't usually act like that when Ellie and I bring up periods. Oh, because you guys bring it up too much. Oh, see? I'm a feminist. I'll bring it up when I like. Because guess what?

Every month. Yeah, bring it up once a month. Every month. So you want us to flip the script instead of us claiming that we're the most hard done by. Let's go positive and say what we envy. What do you envy the most about the opposite sex? Okay, you start. What do you envy about me and Ben?

God, I envy that you guys don't have to shave your entire bodies constantly. I envy that you both don't have to wear a bra. I envy that you're able to take your shirt off pretty much wherever you want. That's quite fun. I envy that you're able to get ready in 10 minutes. I envy that you guys can wee anywhere, anytime. No mess. I thought you had one thing.

And I also envy that you guys will never have to give birth. Right. Because I'm not looking forward to that. I will say that. I'm looking forward to it. Until you got to the I'm looking forward to... Until you got to the birth bit, I was like, you can do all those things. Like, you can not shave and you can not wear a bra and you can

pee. Oh, can we close? Yeah, you can. Trust me. You just choose not to. If I didn't wear a bra, shit would get weird in here, I'll tell you that. Go, your turn. Okay. My list is not that long. I just came up with that in a couple of minutes.

And I don't want to go the rude ones because we're getting lots of texts from guys going, boobies. Boobs are pretty great. I envy your boobies. I envy the boobies. I would envy these cans too if I were you guys. Lucy, my wife Lucy and I have talked about this.

We'd love a Freaky Friday situation just for one day where we swap bodies. Yeah, I know what I'd be doing. We all know what we'd be doing. You don't need to say it out loud. Just as long as we're on the same page. I envy, and this is genuine, I envy your ability to change your look

so much if you want to. That's a good one. Men can do that. You can dye your hair, you can get new clothes, but not to the same degree. But you guys can go fake nails, fake lashes, new hairdo, entire new wardrobe.

It's fun. You've got options. Not always fun. You can get a different coloured T-shirt. Sometimes it's a lot of work. And I'll tell you a serious one that I envy about you guys. Yeah.

And I understand that you deserve this thing that I'm about to say. Oh, here we go. And I understand there's a lot of hard mahi on your part that goes in first. But I genuinely envy maternity leave. Oh, yeah. It's more accepted. And you guys are enabled within workplaces to have three months, six months, a year off with your new child.

And you get that time. Let's be real, though. Which men don't get. We do some hard work to get that. But you put in the hard yards and you deserve it. We put in the hard work to get those months. But it doesn't mean that I'm not envious. No, for sure.

And I get staying home with the kid is not a walk in the park, but I am envious. Absolutely not. But, yeah, I do get that from you. They're good ones. And as you were saying that, Ellie, can you be with me on this? I envy about the males that you

can go to six weddings in a row and you can wear the same suit to every wedding where we need a different damn dress. Especially with Instagram now. I envy guys who can do that too. I'm just so fussy. You are so fussy. Go on, producers. What do you envy?

Oh, you can go, Ellie. Well, Brie, you did actually say a whole lot that I'd already thought of as well. That's okay. Let's get a whole lot in. Let's get a whole lot in on 0800DALZM. What do you envy about the opposite sex? We'll get a list together. Be honest.

What's something where you've always thought, oh, I wish I had that? 0800DALZM or text yours into 9696. We'll put a list together. Yep. Let's see what people come up with. Bree and Clint. Pretty interesting question we're throwing out there this afternoon. If you had, what do you think you envy most about the opposite sex?

Yeah, what's the thing that they have that make you go, God damn it. If that was part of my side of the gender equation, I'd be so much better off. You know what I do like about males or I envy? I sometimes think I'm like, I love how you guys can change your whole face by growing facial hair, like different facial hair.

So you have makeup. And I mean, I do grow facial hair too. There's some good ones coming in though, so let's find out. Hey, Susan. Hi. What do you think, Suzanne? I like the fact that boys can just check on a pair of shorts and go for a swim with no effort at all

and that they can use any tree to go to the toilet. It is good. I do end it. Go inside. As someone who's had a run-in with the law for using a tree for that purpose, can I say you can't? You definitely can't.

But I hear what you're saying. Hang on, how hard is it for you to go for a swim? I know we just chuck shorts on, but don't you just have to chuck like... Oh, it's a whole ordeal. You have to get undressed. You've got to get togs on. You've got to make sure everything's tidy.

Depends how big your girls are. Oh, I see what you're saying. Right. Mine are quite big, and so I have special togs. Yes. I feel you on that, Suzanne. Someone on the text machine has a really good one. They said, I envy men having pockets.

Us girls get stupid fake ones. Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing until recently. Oh, a lot of jeans have fake pockets for ladies. What a rip-off. Let's get a man's opinion. Matt. G'day,. A lot of jeans have fake pockets for ladies, yeah. Let's get a man's opinion. Matt. G'day, Matt. How we doing?

Good, thank you, Matt. What do you envy about us sheilas? That you can go and get mothered on a night out and still go home with the same amount of money you went to town with. Oh, right. So free drinks on a night out. Yeah. Yeah.

Is that true, though, or is that a myth? We're using a purse, our lady out. Yeah. Yeah. Is that true though or is that a myth? Matt, like... We're using a purse, our lady purse. Yeah. Or when you go on a first date and say, I like the traditional man who pays for everything.

Yeah, alright. No, Matt, I do know what you're saying but can I say I think a lot of females are not like that anymore. Times are changing, right? Yeah, absolutely.

I do not let people pay for me on a first date. Well, yeah. I go at least half. When not let people pay for me on a first date. Well, yeah. I go at least half. When's the last time you went on a first date? I mean, I can't get one, but I'd say like I would pay. Hey, Chelsea. Hey.

What do you think, Chelsea? What do you envy about the males? Hey, so I envy the double standards around indoor gardening. Oh, what do you mean by that? You know, some adult indoor gardening. Yeah, we know what indoor gardening. Oh, what do you mean by that? You know, some adult indoor gardening. Yes, we know what indoor gardening is. What's the double standard? The stigma around the fact that men can indoor garden with as many women

and women can't do the same. Yeah, men can plant as many trees as they like, but a lady is more respected if she has one sycamore. Yeah, because people say, you know, she's probably a certain utensil that you use to garden if she does more. Yeah, right. Yeah. But it's not a spade.

Okay, Chelsea, no, that's totally fair. No, I got it, got it. Someone said, I envy males' ability to fall asleep instantaneously. Oh, that's good. Is that a male thing? It's definitely a me thing. I think a lot of males have ability to fall asleep instantaneously. Oh, that's good. Is that a male thing? It's definitely a me thing. I think a lot of males have that. My dad has it.

To fall asleep instantaneously. He just falls asleep anywhere. I think it's a dad thing. It could be. Yeah. Yeah, I do envy that about you guys. Courtney, hi. Hi, how are you?

What do you think, Courtney? What do you envy? I envy that dudes can just text their friends so chill without like an overuse of emojis and like lots of XOs and XOs just to make sure that their mates aren't going to be upset with them in case. Like girls have to do so many emojis. Like it has to be like, I'll come over now. Heart face emoji, eggplant emoji, XXX OOO like shooting star

like it just has to be so much effort and it doesn't need to be just so you know that I'm not angry with you I'm not angry with you honestly yeah

literally yeah it'd just be like see you there and then I reply K yeah literally K alright now that's good

cool well we've got lots of things that we're envious of each other for to be fair that was mostly girls being envious of guys. But, you know. There's pros and cons to both. Love the skin you're in.

Or some shit. Bree and Clint. Yeah. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, guys.

Birthday banger time. Sorry, it was a bit hectic out there today. Down to the wire for today's birthday banger. Down to the wire. We were trying. There were so many good songs. But this is where we figure out what was number one on your guys' 16th birthdays and we'll play the best one.

MJ. Hi, MJ. Hi, MJ. Hey. What's your birthday, MJ? 12th of March, 85. All right, you were 16 in 2001 on the 12th of March. And MJ, this is your birthday bang.

Westlife. Westlife's version. My brother absolutely drove us insane with Westlife. Oh, no. Your brother did? He laughed then. So, all right, this might be a bit triggering for you then. Trust me.

I think it's a good contender for a birthday banger, but we'll see what else is there. Renee. Hi, Renee. Hi, Renee. Hi. What's your birthday, Renee? 20th of August, 91.

All right. You were 16 in, Renee? 20th of August, 91. All right. You were 16 in 2007 on the 20th of August. And in the 2000s, this topped the charts. Which Kanye West song is more overplayed, this or Gold Digger? Oh, Gold Digger. You reckon? I'd say so. One of my friends did a rap to this song at her own wedding.

Oh, no. And one of the lines was, she said, it took two weeks to say I love ya, because he told her that he loved her in two weeks. Do you like your birthday bagger, Renee? Oh, I don't know. I did learn the hand thing that goes with it for the Daft Punk version. Oh, yeah, that's cool.

That's more the vibe I'm getting. But, yeah, I'm here for it. Yeah, okay, cool. Let's find out what the last one is. I love Renee. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Kat.

Hey, Kat. Hi, Kat. Hi. What's your birthday, Kat? 13th of February, 91. All right. You were 16 in 2007 on the 13th of Feb, and on that day, this was number one.

Hinder. Or as they're more commonly known, Discount Nickelback. They are. It's like they looked at Nickelback? It's really nice to hear that. They are. It's like they looked at Nickelback and went, how can we do that too? And they did for about three songs. This was a decent song.

I didn't mind it. This is the bit. This is the bit. What do you think, Kat? Do you love it? I think Westlife might have it. Thank you for your honesty. We have Westlife, Uptown Girl.

We have Kanye, We're Stronger. And we have Hinda, Lips of an Angel. I thought it was going to be Westlife for me. I do really love that Kanye song. I'm going to shock you song. I'm going to shock you here. I'm voting for Hinda. Are you? Yeah. I've had an about face in 2020.

I've decided to just like what I like and You like it because I like that Hinda song. I think maybe I would like to hear it. I think I'm going to stop letting other people think govern what I'm into. Hey, well, welcome to my side.

Yeah, right? You pioneered it by saying it was okay to like Nickelback. Yeah, I still stand by it. I'm going to say that I want to hear that awful Hinda song.

I'm with you then. I love that song. It's a good sing-along. Okay, Kat, you didn't choose it, but it is your birthday banger and we're going to play Hinda. You win. Congratulations.

Congratulations. She's crying. Thank you. We may live to regret this, but here we go. Bree and Clint, ZM. Honey, why you calling me so late?

It's kind of hard to talk right now. Honey, why are you crying? Is everything okay? I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud Well, my girl's in the next room. Sometimes I wish she was you. I guess we never really moved on.

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name. It sounds so sweet. Coming from the lips of an angel Hearing those words, it makes me weak Ladies, I never want to say goodnight But girl, you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of an angel It's funny that you're calling me

Tonight And yes I'm trimmed of you too Does she know you're talking to me? Will it start a fight? No, I don't think she has a clue Well, my girl's in the next room Sometimes I wish she was you I guess we never really moved on It's really good to hear your voice

Say my name, it sounds so sweet Coming from the lips of an angel Hearing those words, it makes me weak Let it die Never wanna say goodnight But girl, you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of a mentor It's really good to hear your voice Say my name, it sounds so sweet

Coming from the depths of an age Hearing those words, it makes me weak Let her die Never wanna say goodbye But God, you make it hard to be faithful With the lips of an angel Never wanna say you're the one But you're, you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel ZM, Bree and Clint, that's a winner of Birthday Banger today from Hinda. Mama Di loved that song. She would. It's got a real country Queensland feel to it. The lyrical content is slightly problematic. Why? Well, he's singing about being on the phone to another girl

while his girlfriend is asleep in the room next door. And he says, says honey why are you calling me so late you know you're making it hard to be faithful with the lips of an angel have you never listened to what the song's about

not really I don't really listen that much to most songs and you know what it can ruin a good song for you so maybe you shouldn't

it kind of just ruined it for me a little bit that song beat out Kanye West stronger and Westlife's Uptown Girl, and so it should too. There's only one Uptown Girl that matters, and it's the Billy Joel one. The old Gimel. Yeah.

Yeah. Right? No offense, Westlife, but jog on. Look, strap in, because this story I'm about to tell you is a true story and it is full on and it's probably going to anger some people sitting in the car. But just so you know, I am not involved. So it's not me. So don't come for me.

But I've heard this story, okay? Okay. So there's a girl that I know through friends and i've heard this story secondhand from them but uh they were telling me this story because this has been something that's been going on for about three years yeah so essentially there's a girl i'm not going to say who her name is um because i don't really know her but so there's this girl and she moved to a different country from england um and she was pretty much living there for a couple of years and she decided that she really loved it and that she wanted to live there pretty much forever she didn't want to go back to the uk she wanted to

stay in this place forever right so at the time she was dating a guy and they'd been dating for about two years. So it was quite serious. So at the time they discussed, you know, what type of visas, if she could get citizenship, if they could apply for stuff like that so she could stay because it was looking like they were going to be together forever. Anyway, so they applied, I think, for this visa that over time it took like two years and they investigate you and they make sure it's all legit and eventually you get citizenship.

Through like a de facto relationship type thing? Yeah, exactly, through the relationship that you're in. I'm not exactly sure with all the terms. But you don't have to get married. And stuff, no. Anyway, so they've applied for that and it was all going well. It was about three months in and three months in, she discovers that he'd been on a Bucks night.

She finds messages with him and another woman that pretty much confirms he's been unfaithful with a couple of different women. Ooh. On the Bucks night? On the Bucks night? On the Bucks night. Right. And that he had been talking to one of the women since.

Ooh, okay. Anyway, she's devastated. She decides, you know, this is all over. You know, I don't want to be in this relationship anymore. And then she realises that if she breaks up with him, she goes home. She's trapped. So she's pretty much... She's damned if she does, she's damned if she breaks up with him, she goes home. She's trapped. She's damned if she does, she's damned if she don't.

Anyway, he's also said at this point that he doesn't want to be with her anymore. Right? So she has no choice pretty much. This is where the story gets quite intense. So she decides that she's going to blackmail him. With what? So he worked in a particular line of work. I'm not going to say, like I don't exactly know, but she had videos of him doing illegal things.

In his job? No, not in his job. You know what his job is. I do know what his job is, but doing illegal things on nights out or stuff like that. Oh, right. So the work that he does, he needs to maintain a certain reputation. Exactly right.

And he's essentially living a lie. Exactly. Because he indulges in other stuff on the weekends. Well, you know, she has evidence and she said to him, look, if you don't pretend that we are still in a relationship so I can get this visa or citizenship or whatever it is, then I'm going to send these videos of you to the people I need to send them to. Whoa.

So it's full on, right? So what do you mean by pretend to be in a relationship with her? So this is where it gets really like full on. And she decides she's going gonna um so every couple of weeks she pretty much they meet up so they're broken up they meet up they take photos and stuff together and then she posts stuff on her social media because that's where they check to see if the relationship is legit so she's living a lie on her Instagram. Yes. With the guy who cheated on her that she's now blackmailing. Yes.

Whoa, that is a heavy. Full on. Yeah. Isn't it? Anyway, I was so confused because I was like, okay, but you know, obviously they're going to check through your like text messages and your phone calls and stuff like that. Yeah. Oh no, they've got

that covered. They, like, send each other fake texts. They, like, call each other and just leave the phone in the room. Oh, my God. Yeah. A part of me was like, it's not worth it. You're putting in so much work to maintain a lie just so you can stay in this country. I get it if you don't want to be deported to, like,

a war-torn country or something like that. But if you just don't want to go home to England, it sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Yeah, it does, doesn't it? And I'm trying to figure out whether I have sympathy for the guy involved. Sure, he did a dumb thing. Oh, it's not a nice thing at all.

No, but does that require you? If he's come clean about it and gone, yeah, I cheated on you. No, I'm saying it's not like what she's doing to him is dragging him emotionally and mentally. Like he did the wrong thing. So this is where that saying, the truth will set you free, is true. The only way around this for him is to go to his employer and go, hey, there's some old videos of me doing something that I shouldn't be doing.

No one got hurt, but I assume that no one got hurt in these things. No, no, no, no, no one got hurt. He's probably taking something that he shouldn't be taking, right? Exactly, yeah. He goes, I've done this thing, it was ages ago. Someone is blackmailing me. Please, I need to get this off my chest.

You might fire me, but I can't live this lie anymore. Yeah, like both of them. I'm like, I don't know how two people could do this for so long. Yeah. And anyway, I said I'm like, I don't know how two people could do this for so long. Yeah. And anyway, I said, you know, what happened? Like, you know, because this was apparently ages ago. Apparently it went on for years and years, like a couple of years or whatever,

and eventually it worked. What? She got citizenship? Yeah. And so now they can break up? Well, what happens after that? I don't know. I don't know how citizenship works. Like, do they have to keep pretending or like, can you go on and live your life

then? Anyway, the whole thing made me feel sick and I was just kind of like, I would rather, you know, not put my life on hold for two to three years. I'd rather just go home. Yeah, I'd rather go home as well. Find myself a nice person.

But in saying that, if she's willing to do all that and he did the cheating back then and all those things, maybe they were perfect for each other. Yeah, well, maybe. Maybe they deserved each other. Someone on the text machine was like, this is some Joe Goldberg shit. It really is.

Yeah, do you want to write for Shortland Street? Because I think you can with stories like this. Bree and Clint. You heard something, was it this morning, that Megan from Fletch Shortland Street? Because I think you can with stories like this. Bree and Clint. You heard something, was it this morning, that Megan from Fletch Vaughan and Megan said about you? Yeah, it was this morning or yesterday morning. Apparently they were chatting, it was like around 8 o'clock, and apparently Megan, because her and I sit in the same seat in the studio.

Not at the same time though. Not at the same time. I don't sit on her lap, but i sit in the same seat she sits in you stand where fletch stands and obviously there's only two of us so no one sits in vaughn we have a cardboard cut out of vaughn yeah exactly um but yeah so she sits in the same seat as me and we plug our headphones into the same headphone jack on the seat that we sit in and she was saying that she's like every time I come in, she's like I need to turn the volume way down I think Bree has hearing problems

Yeah, which to me was concerning because as my friend, if you have a hearing difficulty I'm concerned too now Yeah, we need to get to the bottom of this because if it's something we're doing that's adding to your problems I want to get ahead of this now girl, I don't want you to be in your 50s going-

Thank you for caring so much. What? What? You sound like my mother. Well, we couldn't do a show together. Yeah, well, it would be very hard. It'd be very hard to do a show together. It'd be fine for you.

You'd just not stop talking. So I've devised a hearing test for you. Okay. And this is good because if you're in the car and you have concerns about your own hearing, you can do this hearing test for you. Okay. And this is good because if you're in the car and you have concerns about your own hearing, you can do this hearing test too. Play along. So I've got some audio clips

and all you need to do is listen carefully and if you hear it, you just repeat back to me what you heard. Why do I feel a stitch up coming on? No, no, no. It's just a genuine hearing test. So let's try clip number one. Can you hear this?

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Well done. First stage of the hearing test. Hopefully everyone in the car got that too. It's a bit of ASMR for you. Let's try another clip. This might be a little bit harder.

Red lorry, yellow lorry. Red lorry, yellow lorry. Red lorry, yellow lorry. It's quite loud. Yes, red lorry, yellow lorry. Very good. This is all good signs. All good signs. Okay, all you need to do is, if you hear the clip correctly,

repeat it back to me. What about clip number three? I'm Brie Thomasel, and I love the Big Bang Theory TV program a lot. Yeah, what do you got there? I think I'm Brie Thomasel and I love the Big Bang Theory TV programme a lot. What have you got there? I think I'm going deaf. No. I think you got that. I didn't hear a thing.

Really? You didn't hear anything there? No. Right. Nothing. Everyone else heard it, so that's concerning. Okay, last clip. Can you hear anything on this one?

This one is going to be the hardest to hear. Can you hear anything here? A bumhole, puck it up real tight just then. You can hear it, you're fine. Do you ever wonder what your grandparents get up to behind closed doors? No, never in a million years have I

wondered. Do you ever think, oh, do you hit a certain age and the motor stops running? No I don't All my grandparents are dead So I know they're not getting up to anything I have heard rumours of rivers running dry when you get older Well and I don't mean to To be honest I'm 30 and I'm already feeling it

I hope your mother doesn't take this the wrong way How old is she? She's 62 She's 62 And she says to us She's 62. She's 62. And she says to us. Absolutely. She says to us constantly, Brie, I'm old.

I'm not dead. I might be old, but I'm not dead. In reference to her wants and needs. Yeah, yeah. So amplify that by another 20 years. There is a lady who is 80 years old, and she's gone on the This Morning Show in the UK, which is the equivalent of like Sunrise or TVNZ Breakfast, that sort of thing.

Yeah. Like a morning show that you would think. Early morning breakfast TV. Fairly safe TV, right? Yeah. She's dating a man who is 35. From Egypt, right? From Egypt, yeah.

That's her new lover. That's her toy boy. And I don't know how they got onto the topic, but she has been incredibly honest about what it's like, I guess. And their first night together, was it? And their first night together, yes. I'll just give you a quick warning

that this might not be safe for the whole family. But it did go live to TV in the UK this morning. Have a listen. The first night. Oh, the first night. Pretty rough. Nobody had been near me for 35 years. I thought I was a virgin again. But can I say what we used? A whole tube of KY jelly. Oh.

And the thing is, I couldn't walk the next day. I felt as if I'd been riding a horse. Saddle sore wasn't in it. We got over that. We got over that. Is it okay to play? Is it?

It went to air in the UK on TV. I didn't think someone actually ever said, I couldn't walk the next day. I don't think that was a euphemism either. No, I don't think it was. euphemism either No I don't think it was She literally Needed to get her walker out And be pushed around

I say Good on her You know Good on her If that's what you want If that's what you want I wonder if she Took her fake teeth

In Like left them in Or took them out Or if they just came out Jesus left them in or took them out. Or if they just came out. Oh, Jesus.
