Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
Hello guys.
Can I ask a question? I know we've talked about this before.
But photos on your phone, when your phone gets full, what are you supposed to do?
Throw the phone away, get a new phone.
Right? Because I've spent three nights now going through videos and photos and deleting stuff,
trying to make room on this phone, and it's just not working.
How many gigabytes is the phone?
I mean, it's a good phone, big storage,
but I don't know how the cloud works.
No, but how much storage is that phone?
128 gigabytes.
Okay.
Is there a bigger one?
Yeah.
Oh, just buy the bigger one.
Buy the bigger one.
Kick the can down the road.
I spend the money up front now so then I don't run into this problem.
I'm currently, this is after a big cull, I'm currently sitting on 10,746 photos.
I wonder what I've got.
Hold on.
I thought mine was big and I did a big cull two nights ago.
What have you got then?
1,734 videos.
1,700.
Yeah, you've got more videos
than I have videos and photos on my phone.
Yeah, but I've got a baby, so.
Yeah, that really takes it up a notch.
Yeah.
And you go, oh, I need this photo.
And I need it from all these different angles.
Mine's just mainly like print screens
and like receipts and stuff.
Ben, go down.
If you go into your camera reel,
this is on an iPhone,
and if you scroll down, it tells you all the different
things, like back to back. Live photos,
portraits. How many selfies
do you have? 58.
Not bad. That's pretty good.
What have you got? 323.
I don't even know it's a selfie. I suppose
it's done on the front camera, isn't it? Anastasia,
how many do you have?
I'm sitting at 3442.
Oh, we got a winner.
Selfies.
No, no, no, not for selfies.
Just 274, so I'm still a bit less.
Oh, not too bad.
Yeah, probably on par with you.
What about you, Clint?
I'm trying to see if the Samsung's got selfies.
Facebook, Instagram, Instagram messages.
Pickstitch.
I don't think I've got a selfies folder.
Don't have one?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Because it also says, it tells you how many screenshots you've done.
Oh, screenshots are what kill you.
That's a good idea.
Because you go, I'll need this later.
I've got 900.
You never need those screenshots ever again.
900 screenshots.
I've got 1,297 screenshots.
Whoa.
Yeah, that's the thing I was trying to kill the other night.
I don't need print screens. I mean, sorry, screenshots and screenshots. Whoa. Yeah, that's the thing I was trying to call the other night. I don't need screenshots and stuff like that.
How do I see?
Videos, I've got 2,447. This is great for people listening, eh?
Yeah, they love this.
They should be calling.
Does anyone know how to just sort out your photos?
You know what is interesting?
How many unread emails do you have right now?
Oh, okay. Zero.
Oh, two.
Two for me. I don't know how to do this.
I've got
676.
Well, that's just ridiculous.
Is it your work or your personal email?
She doesn't know the password to her work email.
And to be honest, I don't look at my work one.
Oh, no, wait. Here you go. Work one
unread
1,885. What's my work one. My personal email. Oh, no, wait. Here you go. Work one, unread, 1,885.
What's the point of having a personal email?
You might have an email there from the boss that goes,
hey, Bree, love the work.
We want to give you a pay rise.
Just open this email.
That wouldn't be in my inbox.
I send those to the junk.
Yeah, right.
I've got 18 emails.
Oh, no, I've done something.
That's not too bad.
It's pretty good.
You all right over there?
I've seen some people with 7,000.
What are you doing? Nothing. I was, mate, don't, don't good. You all right over there? I've seen some people with 7,000. What are you doing?
Nothing.
Mate, don't worry.
You're off doing something else.
Yeah, I've got to go because I need to fluff.
I was trying to delete something and then realise what it was.
You need to fluff?
I need to fluff.
Oh, yuck.
I was like, fluff what?
No, all right, we're done.
I'm leaving too.
Bye.
Have a great podcast.
Too late.
Just fluffed.
Sorry about it.
Boo. Hey, Google. What's the time? It's 3 p. Boo.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm, give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Bree and Clint on?
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Afternoon, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
Bree and Clint, that's revelationary news to me there that paracetamol expires.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
But it makes sense.
Does it?
I just thought it was just...
What?
You think that...
It's the last forever, like honey.
I've got a box of paracetamol in the pantry that my flatmate got in 2015.
You know how you go to the doctor and they go,
do you need any paracetamol?
And you go, yeah, I'd like a few.
And they give you like a carton of like 50 trays of paracetamol.
Because it's cheap.
Because it's cheap.
And you're like, yeah, they go, that'll be $3, thank you.
You go, sweet, I'm never going to buy this stuff again.
We're still going on that stuff.
You probably should check the expiry date,
but maybe you don't want to because it turns into a paracetamol party.
Right?
Maybe that's how they came up with our Neurofen Zavance.
It's just expired Neurofen.
Yeah, literally.
It works twice as fast.
It's like wine.
It gets more intense with age.
This is all unofficial medical advice.
Definitely not.
Not recommended by Brie, Clint or the wider ZM network.
I do love someone that's got a really well-stocked medicine basket.
You know, everyone in their family is always a little cupboard
and there's a basket in there with just all kinds of different stuff.
Yeah, ours is a big plastic box next to the microwave.
It's always kind of near the microwave.
It's somewhere in the kitchen, eh?
Yeah, it's like either above the stove.
I don't know how well stocked ours is.
I got home last night and Lucy, my wife,
was wearing one of the plasters that we bought for Tui.
She had a little dinosaur plaster on.
Oh yeah, maybe she only needed a little one.
Yeah, maybe.
Or maybe she was crying and the dinosaur plaster cheered her up.
That's probably what it was, I'd say.
Hey, today on the show we will be playing Nickname Origins
to give away free mobile fuel.
That's coming up
just before five o'clock.
So if you've got a good nickname
we'd love to hear it
from you today.
Yes.
I can't remember the ones
we got last week.
I remember they were
quite good though.
They were quite good.
Yeah.
Next though,
I have got some news.
Like, you remember last time
I started bringing some content
to the show that you'll like?
Yeah, more the stuff that I appreciate
and you kind of just deal with because
I like it. Yeah, I'm going to try a bit more of
that. Next I've got
cow fart news. I'm here
for it. My favourite type.
And as your friend,
I want to talk about the stuff that you're interested in
sometimes. Yeah, no, I appreciate that.
We'll rip into some cow fart news next.
This is the Jonas Brothers and
What A Man Gotta Do on ZM, Brie and Clint.
Cuss my heart about one, two times.
Brie and Clint. Welcome along
to this afternoon's show. If you've never listened
to us before, Brie
has a few passions in life.
One of them... Don't say that this
is a passion. It is a passion of yours
because you have brought
conversations revolving around this bodily function to the table many It is a passion. It is a passion of yours because you have brought conversations
revolving around this bodily function to the table many times.
I think this topic.
You've created videos about it.
I think.
You pride yourself on being a, I'm going to give you the name
because you haven't got a name for it yet.
You pride yourself on being a female flatulence pioneer.
Look, if I was running.
You're like a stinky suffragette.
If I was running for the Prime Minister position
my campaign slogan would be
better out than in. Exactly right.
It would be elect us, let her rip.
That's good.
I'll keep that in mind. So as a good friend
I, and you know
I just tolerate the conversation. I love
how you've actually warmed to this conversation.
I haven't. You have.
But I know that it excites you so I'm bringing some to the table now.
I'm not interested in human flatulence,
but today I have a story about bovine flatulence, cow farts.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That cow has some issues.
I asked Ben to get me a fart sound effect.
That is a fart.
That's the one you chose.
Yeah, it's a good, it's a cow.
I'm thinking cow, they go big.
That's it, yeah.
It's disgusting.
Go big or go home.
It's disgusting.
Can I ask, cow farts or is it cow burps the reason?
Global warming.
Yeah.
Both.
Both.
Cow emissions.
Cow.
We need low emission cows. If anything, we need Elon Musk to invent a electric cow. Yeah. Both. Both. Cow emissions. Cow... We need low emission cows.
If anything,
we need Elon Musk
to invent an electric cow
so there's no emissions.
Or feed them a better diet.
Okay, here we go.
Welcome to the cow fart news.
Okay?
Some people are trying
to get that under control
and some of the people
who are the biggest cow users
in the world
are fast food chains.
Consumers.
Yeah.
No, like Burger King restaurants.
So Burger King in the States have come out and they said they're trying to make a better cow,
a cow that farts less.
Okay.
They have changed their cow's diet.
Genetically modify the cow?
No, just change its diet.
Okay.
So change what goes in so that you change what comes out.
They've started feeding their cows Simple concept.
lemongrass.
And they believe
that by feeding
these cows lemongrass
they reduce
the cow farts
by 33%.
God, good odds.
Good odds, right?
Yeah.
Which is good advice
for you too.
Integrate some lemongrass
into your diet.
Yeah.
I might have to do that.
No one wants to talk
about this sort of stuff
though.
It's not a sexy topic.
So what they've done is they've got a celebrity to sing about it Oh good
Do you remember the Walmart yodeling kid?
Oh yep
Very famous
Mason Ramsey
This is on brand for him
Yeah
When was he popular?
I want to say last year or the year before
Last year or the year before So Last year or the year before.
So he's now the Burger King cow farts song guy.
He's a little bit of...
What a deal.
I know, right?
So he walks out of a cow's butt and starts singing. Laugh and manner, they're releasing methane every time they do.
And that methane from the rear goes up to the atmosphere and pollutes our planet, warming me and you.
Reducing methane.
I hope he got paid.
Oh, he got paid.
Oh, what a money for that.
Don't worry, he got paid. Do you know how much? No, but actually, no, I hope that he got paid. Oh, he got paid. Oh, what a money for that. Don't worry, he got paid.
Do you know how much?
No, but...
Well, actually, no, I hope that he got paid too.
This is like the equivalent of an adult being on a poster for an STD.
Correct.
He's now the cow fart.
He's good.
He's not the Milky Bar kid, he's the cow fart.
100%.
Burger King have tweeted to back it up with the video.
They've tweeted with the video saying, breathe the farts of change.
Oh, my God.
2020, everybody.
Brie and Clint.
Brie, one of the first things you and I did together when you first started here at ZM,
when we both started at ZM, is we went to the very bottom
of the South Island
to bluff.
Bluff.
Bluff.
And we went shark diving,
which you can't do anymore.
God,
it was cold.
It was freezing.
It was like this time of the year
or maybe like in June
and you're down,
we went out between
Stewart Island
and Bluff there.
Crazy experience.
And went diving
with Great Whites,
which, after which which they cancelled.
We like got in there just before the end.
Literally, we were like one of the last boats.
They're like, no, it's attracting too many great whites.
And we're like, you know what?
Good point.
We saw like four.
For all the abalone fishermen, we were like, that is a really good point.
So that industry collapsed in Bluff. And then the news, the terrible news last week for the Southland community that the TY Point
aluminium smelter is going to be closing next year as well.
Oh yeah, I saw that.
Which is going to take a thousand jobs.
So we're thinking of our listeners,
our Southland listeners at the moment
because that's going to impact you.
Interesting news about what they're talking about
could be a replacement for the people of Bluff.
Oh, so they're turning the factory into something else.
They could do.
Someone has suggested. Well, that would be good because then it would bring back some of those jobs. Bring back some of theuff. Oh, so they're turning the factory into something else. They could do. Someone has suggested Well, that would be good because then it would bring
back some of those jobs. Bring back some of the jobs, yeah.
There's a thousand jobs involved, a thousand to fifteen hundred jobs
involved. They've suggested
that Bluff
turn that, do a deal with
Elon Musk to turn that area into a
Tesla gigafactory. Oh.
Like Bluff to the future.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
I was hoping for a Cadbury factory, but you know.
We had a Cadbury factory.
I know, that's what I mean.
Bring it back, put it in Bluff.
It didn't go that well either.
I bet people miss it though.
If we got a Tesla, oh yeah.
Didn't they used to roll things down the... Yeah, down Baldwin Street in Dunedin, yeah.
Bring that back.
Yeah.
But if we got a Tesla Gigafactory, which, by the way, is Elon Musk's...
What's a Gigafactory?
It's where Tesla make their cars, they make their solar panels,
and they make their batteries.
So it's kind of like everything that makes Tesla,
Tesla comes out of these giant factories,
and the factories themselves are solar-powered. They've got all these solar panels on the roof. But
if we got that, then New Zealand would get cheaper Teslas and we'd get cheaper solar
panels because it's made here. You wouldn't have to ship it to New Zealand. I mean, you'd
have to ship it all the way from Bluff.
I was going to say, cheaper Teslas, something I still couldn't afford.
Well, that's a good point as well. But we'd be making Teslas.
I'd love to give one a go, but they're so expensive.
The cars?
Have you looked?
Oh, yeah.
Like I was like, oh, there might be one for, you know,
like the everyday driver.
And I looked, nope.
No.
And they're all brand new.
That's the problem too.
You're like, I wonder if I can get an early 2000s Tesla.
Do you reckon anyone on Trade Me is selling a Tesla right right now yeah there'll be a there'll be someone there tesla just say tesla
and see what comes up okay anyway if we get a if we get a tesla gigafactory and bluff do we get
like a friends and family discount like can we oh yeah mates rates mates rates yeah yeah there is
tesla's second hand okay how much okay here we go. A 2015 Tesla model.
Yeah, which one?
Model S.
Yeah.
Does that mean anything to you?
Yeah, that's the Tesla.
Yeah, that's the one you know.
That's the long looking one.
Oh, here we go.
One of the cool ones that has the bat wing doors.
Oh, okay, a Model X.
Model X, yes.
2017.
Yeah.
Not too old.
Yeah.
53,000 Ks. Okay, oh, yeah, okay, cool. Here we Yeah. Not too old. Yeah. 53,000 Ks.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, cool.
Here we go.
Low, low price.
Secondhand.
Yeah.
120 grand.
Oh.
For a secondhand Tesla.
I'll get two.
Well, this is where we've got to build the factory in Bluff.
So we get cheaper ones in this.
They're going to get rich.
Yeah, we might get them for 115 grand.
Yeah.
Would you be good?
They'll throw in the car mats for free.
Anyway, fingers crossed for something like that down in Southland.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, give us an update on what's going on with Johnny Depp at the moment
because he's all over the news for all kinds of things.
He certainly is.
This is his third major lawsuit of the year.
First, him and, of course, Amber Heard had a massive, ugly divorce.
Secondly, he sued his managers who blew $650 million of his.
He got $50 million back.
But now he is suing The Sun.
You know those huge publications that are so ruthless and vile over in Europe?
He's suing them because they called him, in an article, a wife-beater. Okay? He's suing them because they called him in an article a wife beater.
Okay.
He's suing them for defamation.
Their case is, and this is going to sound really bad.
Their case is we called you a wife beater because you are a wife beater.
And now both sides are coming forward with all of these wild witnesses and allegations.
He's claiming that she threw like a brick at him.
Her side's claiming that he threw a champagne flute at her.
The personal assistant is claiming that she used to beat him.
Their housemate is claiming that he used to beat her.
It's so ugly and so vile and so disgusting,
and it's all over the press.
It's absolutely everywhere.
So if you're wondering what's going on,
this is the third lawsuit.
That's why it feels like he's been in court for,
my God, a year, because he has.
And he's lost most of his money, God, a year, because he has,
and he's lost most of his money, but he did just get a $50 million settlement from his managers who blew $650 million of his own. So it's ugly, really ugly.
First of all, I'm shocked that the managers have spent $650 million and he only got $50
million back. How is that possible that he only got that amount back?
So basically they blew the $50 million.
So they're bad investments.
Okay, let me give you one example.
He bought this like vintage pirate ship, okay?
The maintenance on the pirate ship was $200,000 a month.
Oh my God.
So they just bought this stupidest stuff, $30,000 a month on wine.
Like his staff costs were $22 million every six months or something.
So they managed him into the ground.
And I know it sounds wild to imagine someone so successful is broke,
but that is where we're at.
But he's suing the papers because he's like,
I'm not a wife beater, and they're just going to town on each other.
It's very ugly.
Pretty evil.
That's why you never waste your money on a vintage pirate ship.
If you're getting a pirate ship,
you want to get one that's only two to three years old,
low-k's, you know, something that's been kept in a garage
or at least a carport for most of its life.
Had one owner, like, if Blackbeard has owned it his whole life,
then that's good to buy it.
He's serviced it the whole way through.
That's the key.
That's Dean McCarthy, who's loving our jokes today.
Yeah, you can find those pirate ships on driven.co.nz, Dean.
Bree and Clint.
Look, as a show, we want to be open and honest with you guys,
and we want you guys to know the real us, you know,
because we think it forms more of a connection,
and that's why I've enjoyed over the last week
getting to know Bree a little bit better and helping last week getting to know Brie a little bit better
and helping you guys to get to know Brie a little bit better.
Yeah, I felt like I've been getting to know myself, the parts that I didn't even know.
Well, that's good.
That's an unintended byproduct.
These are all intimate details of her personal life that we've brought to the fore.
A lot of them occurring before she worked here at ZM and lived in New Zealand.
Funnily enough.
We met your boyfriend from Wodonga.
Dude, I don't really give a ****, you know?
I'm in lockdown.
Mate, mate, I live here,
and you try to lock me out of Wodonga and Albury?
How am I supposed to get to Centrelink?
Centrelink being the winds of Australia.
That guy stole my PS3 off me.
Yeah, yeah, right? Never got it back.
He crashed a live news cross
with a can of VB,
Bree's boyfriend.
We actually had him on the phone.
That was good.
Then we heard the song
that you recorded as a kid,
What's Inside Your Butthole.
What a hit.
What a hit.
I'm surprised I'm here, to be honest,
when I had that hit back in the 90s.
Yeah, this is the remix, but you get the idea.
That was you when you were seven, I think.
Today, I found a video of a tour of your wardrobe.
Oh, did you?
Yeah, yeah.
And you've uploaded this a while ago,
and I haven't seen it before.
And it's a glimpse into, because you can tell a lot about people by their fashion choices.
Yeah, for sure.
Because you get to create yourself through fashion.
Yeah.
And there's a certain item of clothing that we know you love deep down.
And it's nice to finally get a look at your full collection.
So here's a little tour, just the audio version of Bree's wardrobe.
Hey, I have a croc collection.
I'm quickly going to go through each pair and their meaning.
Okay, these are my customized rhinestone ones I made.
My Post Malone one.
My platform ones.
My other platform ones.
My camo crocs.
My Valentine's Day crocs that I actually got the very last pair in stock on the crocs website of this one.
Then I have my Cinderella crocs.
And then I have my flame crocs.
Then I have these like duochrome ones. They're pretty neat too.
Then I have my Peep Crocs. My Gucci
Crocs. My Disney
Crocs. Christmas ones
that light up. My Peppa Pig Crocs.
My Snakeskin Crocs.
My Leopard Print Crocs. And then I have all
my fun colours in here. Thank you, bye.
Thank you, Brie. Thank you, bye.
That's a TikTok video that Bree's uploaded.
To be honest, after that week that you made me
wear a different pair of Crocs every week,
I could have filmed a video like that.
And you did. In the flame Crocs that I got you in there,
the colourful Crocs are in there.
This is just so good.
I feel like, I know I knew you
and I know we were close before, but all of this
is just really bringing us that little bit.
Just that little... little bit closer.
You be careful, mate.
You'll be surprised at what I can dig up of yours.
Nothing.
I'm a very private man.
Brie and Clint.
I do love to conduct these social experiments on the show.
And when I come across a study that's been done
and I can't really believe what I'm reading in terms of what the data says.
Oh, you better do some peer reviewing.
Yes, I need to check out these numbers
because this study was done by game publisher Quali
and was made up by more than 4,000 respondents,
so quite a lot of people.
Yep. And it's revealed... We love a decent sample size on this show000 respondents, so quite a lot of people. Yep.
And it's revealed...
We love a decent sample size on this show.
Yeah, it needs a decent sample size.
But this study has revealed quite a lot about where gamers,
where their priorities lie in life.
So I'm talking about, you know,
putting certain things in life after you're gaming stuff
Right, okay, yeah, yeah, interesting
We've got your panel of gamers for this review
Right
Would you like to meet them first?
Yeah, let's meet them
Okay, first gamer to join us on the show is Adam, hi
Hi Adam
Hey guys, how are we?
Good, thanks
Self-confessed hardcore gamer, what's your game of choice?
My game of choice is Counter-Strike Go.
Okay, we believe you.
You're hardcore.
How many hours a week do you spend playing games, Adam?
Too many.
Okay.
Let's just say more hours than I work, and I work a 40-hour week.
Yep.
You're definitely a gamer.
Okay, stay with us, Adam.
Nick, you're a hardcore gamer.
What's your game of choice?
Escape from Tarkov at the moment.
Oh, yeah.
Escape from Tarkov.
Pretend like you know the game.
Escape.
Shoot a survival game.
Escape from Dark Holes.
Kind of like COD or?
Kind of like...
Assassin's Creed. That's good for you. Yeah. Okay, we believe you, um... Assassin's Creed.
That's good for you.
No, no.
Okay, we believe you.
We believe you.
You're a hardcore gamer.
And Katie, you're a hardcore girl gamer.
Yeah.
Yes, love it, girl.
How often do you play and get on the games?
Pretty much every spare chance I get.
So after work, weekends.
Game of choice?
Yeah.
I actually have a couple at the moment. So it's
the new Call of Duty and World of Warcraft.
Yeah, COD. COD.
COD. Hardcore. Alright guys, perfect.
We got three bona fide
gamers. So some
of the questions that were in this
study, I don't know if I believe it.
Okay. Alright guys, first
question. What would
you rather?
Would you rather your home that you live in destroyed
or would you rather have your game saves wiped completely?
Start with Adam.
To be honest, I'd rather have my home destroyed.
Whoa, okay.
So that is correlating with the data I have here.
Nick, what about you?
I'd rather keep my house because I own it now.
Okay, yeah, good, all right.
Bit of balance.
And Katie?
I'd rather keep my house as well.
Good old cold.
Okay.
So that one's two to one.
That fact not verified, but interesting.
This study said one in ten gamers would rather have their home destroyed
than their game saved.
Oh, then we are on track.
One in three.
It's even better.
Okay, cool, yeah.
All right, guys, next question.
Would you rather have your car crushed or your game saves wiped?
Adam?
My car's falling apart, so
you crush this thing
as much as you want. To be honest,
if Adam's willing to sacrifice his house,
the car's probably in the garage.
Okay, car's gone. Good.
Nick?
Yeah, probably crushed the car.
Okay, Nixon?
You crashed it a week ago. Yep, good.
And Katie? Probably crashed the car. Crushed the car, Okay, Nixon. I crashed it a week ago. You crashed it a week ago. Yep, good. And Katie? Probably crashed the car.
Crashed the car, yeah, good.
That does correlate with the data.
All right, guys, here we go.
Now we're getting down to some interesting questions.
Would you rather have your wedding ring destroyed or lose your game saves?
Adam.
I'd rather lose my game saves because my wedding ring was my grandfather's.
Oh, Adam.
Good answer.
I'd pick that one this time.
Okay.
That's so nice from you.
And I thought you were going to say,
I have to say my wedding ring because my wife listens to ZM.
Okay, Adam wants to keep the ring over his game saves.
Nick?
Not actually married yet, so...
Hypothetically.
Pretend you're married.
That's pretty easy.
I don't know.
I'll keep the ring.
Keep the ring.
Don't sound too enthused about it.
He's like, oh, yeah, maybe.
I guess so.
And Katie?
Well, my partner has a game too,
so I think he'll pick the wedding ring
to be destroyed over the save game.
Yeah, perfect, perfect.
Okay, and the last thing.
Would you rather give up indoor gardening for a year
or have your game saves deleted?
We're all familiar with the euphemism.
Hopefully they're familiar with that.
Indoor gardening generally done with a partner.
Adam, you're giving it up for a year
or losing your game saves?
I'd happily give up indoor gardening for a year
because if need be I'll play farming simulator.
Great. Nick?
I'll give up the saves.
You'd give up the saves.
Oh wow.
And Katie?
I'd give up the saves.
You'd give up the save too.
So we can now crown Adam the true and biggest gamer in New Zealand.
He's crashed his car, destroyed his home,
and gone without indoor gardening for a whole year.
Someone get that man a sponsorship.
That's impressive.
And some sunlight.
Thanks, guys. We appreciate your help. Thanks, team. Bree and Clint. Here's a question. That's impressive. And some sunlight. Thanks, guys.
We appreciate your help.
Thanks, team.
Bree and Clint.
Here's a question for you, Bree.
Do you like your name?
Yeah, I don't mind my name.
You don't mind it?
What about you?
I like my name.
Yes.
I like that.
Clinton.
I haven't met a lot of Clintons, and so I like that.
I haven't met a lot of Briannas either.
No.
No one understands my name when I say it on the phone.
Like when I ring up and order a pizza and they're like,
okay, and who's the pizza for?
And I say Clint.
And they go, who?
Yeah, it can be mistaken for a very other similar word.
It can be mistaken for a lot of things,
especially when it's written down.
So yeah, I do like my name, but I have some issues.
This is quite interesting.
There is a survey that's been done of 6,000 British parents
that revealed 73% of them regret the name that they gave their kid.
Oh, well, that's not good.
They said within three months,
they'd already thought of a better name for the kid.
Oh, no.
I didn't think that that happened.
What?
Name regret?
Yeah, like when you met the baby, you just kind of know.
No, no, that doesn't happen.
No.
My friend Cara took like three months to name her baby.
Three months to name her baby?
She took so long to name her baby that she got a letter from Internal Affairs saying,
Oi, name this baby or we'll name it for you.
Really?
Yeah, something like that. There's a fine. There's a fine that you get if you don't name your baby or we'll name it for you. Really? Yeah, something like that.
There's a fine.
There's a fine that you get if you don't name your baby
within a certain amount of time.
I wonder what they would have named it.
Cara, she puts a lot of thought into her kid's name,
so she definitely wanted to get it right.
No, I'm saying I wonder what the internal affairs would have named her.
Yeah.
What would they name her?
No, Bill.
And by the way, here's the fine.
Yeah.
Here are some of the most regrets.
So from that, they go, okay, you regret giving your kid the name you gave it.
What's the name you gave the kid that you regret?
The name, not the kid.
You get that right.
Yeah, from there, they can pull out what are the most regretted names.
Okay.
Oh, this isn't going to make people feel good.
Because it means that the parents hate these names
Yeah but the people we're talking about are babies
Are they quite
So
Yeah and babies they don't have feelings
No they don't listen to
They don't
They don't
They don't listen to ZM
Wait
Are we not the number one show for babies
No they listen to
What do they listen to
The Wiggles show on iHeartRadio
Oh I thought they listened to sound
No
Okay here we go
I'll go through top three for each Okay Top three most regretted boys name on iHeartRadio. Oh, I thought they listened to sound. No. Okay, here we go.
I'll go through top three for each.
Okay.
Top three most regretted boys name.
Number three, Carter.
Carter?
Yeah.
That's a nice name.
I don't mind Carter.
Dan Carter.
Number two, Jackson with an X.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe they regret the spelling.
I think they'll regret the spelling because no one will write it down correctly ever.
In fairness, I don't mind
Jackson with an X. But you hate when people
spell your name B-R-I-E. Yeah, I don't like that.
So Jackson is going to get it his whole life.
And number one most regretted boy is named Hunter.
Hunter? Why? I don't know.
I don't know what's wrong with that. It's not a bad
name. Number three most regretted
girl's name, Lila. L-Y-L-A.
L-Y-L-A. Why?
Don't know. There's no reason why these are regretted.
It's just the people who gave their kids these names,
they're going, you know, we should call them something else.
Number two, Arabella.
Arabella.
Arabella.
Yeah.
Number one, Aurora.
Aurora.
Aurora Borealis.
Maybe people, because they figure out that not everyone can say Aurora.
A-U-R-O-R-A.
Aurora. Aurora. Aurora. Aurora. Aurora. Aurora. A-U-R-O-R-A. Oh. Aurora?
Aura.
Aura?
Aurora.
Aurora.
Anyway, that's a much regretted girlfriend.
This is why they regret it.
I wonder out there if there's anyone listening this afternoon who hates their own name.
Oh, there definitely would be.
Do you?
Maybe hate is too strong a word.
Do you wish you had a different name?
Yeah, if you could, if you had the chance.
To change your name, would you?
Would you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We just would love to hear from you
and I'd love to know what that name is.
It might be a particular spelling of the name
or maybe it's just a name that you feel like you don't suit.
Or maybe it's just a shocking name.
Yeah.
Maybe your parents were on the Woody 8%ers
when they were naming you
and you're like, come on, guys.
Maybe they named you XOXO Gossip Girl.
Yeah, 0800 dials at M.
Free in Clint.
Do you hate your name?
A study has revealed that three quarters of British parents
regret the name they gave their kid.
Within three months, they'd thought of a better name,
but they'd already signed the birth certificate.
Too late.
It's too late.
Oh, I mean, you can always change it. Side note, did you know you but they'd already signed the birth certificate. Too late. It's too late. Oh, I mean you can always
change it. Side note, did you know you can get an
All Blacks birth certificate?
What? Why? I don't know. If you want one
because we had to get Tui, my daughter's birth
certificate last year and you pay for the birth
certificate and you can get different designs on it
and if you want you can get an All Blacks one.
Oh, you mean like an
All Blacks design? Like an All Blacks themed birth certificate.
I thought you were meaning like if I want Dan Carter's birth certificate,
I can go down to the shop.
No, not yet.
I'd like Dan Carter's birth certificate, please.
I want to check.
Well, you can.
You can if you name your kid Dan Carter.
You can get Dan Carter's birth certificate.
Yeah, right.
We want to know this afternoon, do you not like your name?
The name your parents gave you, you don't enjoy it,
it doesn't suit you, whatever it is.
We'd love to know this afternoon.
Maybe you just can't find your name printed on any of those special key rings
at Dreamworld.
Oh, I hear you.
We'll start with Ayla.
Hi, Ayla.
Hi.
Hi.
You hate your name.
I hate my name.
I like that name, Ayla.
Yeah, what's wrong with your name?
Okay, well, up until about a year ago, nobody knew how to say it.
I never ever went to school with any alas or anything.
How do you spell it?
It's becoming more common now, but nobody's ever been able to say it first.
How do you spell ala?
A-Y-L-A.
Yeah, that's what I would spell it like.
And how are people pronouncing that?
I get isla and Alia predominantly.
Alia?
Yeah.
Oh, that's getting fancy.
They're getting tricky with it.
Yeah, okay.
Thanks, Isla.
Sorry about your name.
Second person here.
Actually, I'm going to let you introduce yourself.
Hello, ZDM.
Who is this?
Hey, it's Brian.
Brian.
Why don't you like your name, Brian?
Who decides to name their little cute infant baby Brian?
It's such an old-fashioned name.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, if someone came over and they're like,
oh, here's my little baby Brian.
I instantly think of Brian from Family Guy.
Yeah, well, me too.
And he's cool.
The dog.
I don't mind Brian.
I'm glad you said the baby thing, though,
because some names just don't suit babies.
You know?
No.
And I was named after my grandfather
so I don't completely hate it
but he was like 65 when I was born
or something like that.
Brian, that's when it happens.
When it's a historical family name
that made sense a couple of generations ago
and you go,
that's why you make it the middle name.
On my mum's side, Brian,
if it makes you feel better,
the first one of us grandchildren to have a baby girl
has to name her after my grandmother,
and her name was Edna.
It's better than Joan or something like that, right?
Is it?
Thanks, Brian, for your call.
Oh, $800.
Who's this that hates their name?
You can't tell until we say your name.
Starts with a T. T. Oh, Tanya. Tanya hates her name. Why, you can't tell until we say your name. It starts with a T.
T.
Oh, Tanya.
Tanya hates her name.
Why do you hate it?
Oh, everyone shortens it
to Tans or Tan
every single time
when you introduce yourself.
It's like, no,
my name's Tanya.
You know, if you lived in Australia,
you'd have a whole different name.
Yeah, I would.
It is?
Yeah, I'd actually call you
Tanya.
Tanya. Tanya. Yeah. Do you hate that even more, Tanya? Yeah, I would. It is. Yeah, I'd actually call you Tanya. Tanya. Tanya.
Yeah. Which, do you hate that even more, Tanya?
Yeah, I do.
Do you have a name in mind?
Like, if you could change your name to something else, if you've
ever fantasised about that, what's your ultimate name?
Yeah. Absolutely. I've got two names.
Tell us. Probably go to Jade
or Ava.
Tanya, tomorrow,
you go down to the office and just do it.
Rip the Band-Aid off.
Why not?
Get a new swipe card.
Yeah.
Because you can.
I know.
Do you want us to come with you?
No, it's all good.
I think I'd be upsetting my parents more than anything else.
Let's try it on you.
Thanks, Jade.
Oh, wonderful.
Thank you.
There you go.
She makes her happy.
And finally, our last person on the phone,
what is your name that you hate?
Jolene.
Why do you hate the name Jolene?
Because of the Dolly Parton song.
Every time people meet me and I introduce myself,
they sing it.
I'm not going to lie.
As soon as I saw what your name was,
I had the urge.
Yeah, right.
And anyone who knows that song, Jolene is the other woman.
Oh, she's the naughty one.
Yeah, Dolly's begging her, please don't take her man.
Jolene, your name is a homewrecker's name.
That's horrible.
Yeah, right.
Do you have another name in mind?
If you could change your mind.
No, not at all, actually.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I think it suits you, especially with your smooth South African accent too,
because it's not Jolene, it's Jolene.
Jolene.
Jolene.
Jolene.
Yeah, get it right, Clint.
Sorry, Jolene.
Jeez, she's already dealt with enough.
Brianne Clint.
Do you remember that story that came out earlier this year about Apple
and how it was, you know, slowing older phones down
so essentially people would have to buy new ones.
Yeah, which everybody always thought could be true,
but they're like, oh, no, that's a conspiracy theory.
You know, what we're talking about is like, you know,
where you have quite an old model phone and you do the update
and then your battery seems to just dissipate in like, you know, 10 minutes.
Yeah, and some apps take ages to open and your camera gets all crap.
Yeah.
It was one of the biggest controversies pretty much
that Apple has ever faced, like ever.
And they got taken to court for it and there was a lawsuit
and all that kind of stuff.
And they actually call it throttling.
That's what they call it, older iPhones.
Anyway. Like they do with older iPhones. Yeah. Anyway.
Like they do with internet speeds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Apple actually admitted to throttling older phones,
but it said it was doing it because it wanted to prevent shutdowns
due to degraded batteries and other features being rolled out
on the new updates and stuff.
Right.
You lost me.
I just got that my phone had been throttled.
Right.
Anyway, so they admitted to that, but they were like,
look, there's a reason for it though.
That's pretty much what they said.
But anyway, they were kind of like, right,
all we're hearing is you're admitting to it.
You didn't tell your customers about it.
So now you're going to have to pay those customers back $500 million.
Whoa.
But not each, I'm assuming.
No, not each, obviously.
But it's actually one of the biggest consumer frauds in history.
I go, man, I wish I still had an iPhone.
I know, it'd be good, wouldn't it?
I'd give my $500 million.
Well, I mean, I'm looking at this and I thought, oh, that could be me.
I could be entitled to some of this money.
Well, you've had almost every iPhone that's come out.
Yeah.
So I'm like, okay, I need to see the details.
How much money am I getting?
Do I need to quit my job?
What's kind of going on?
Anyway, so I kind of looked into the details
and this affects everyone listening right now
because you'd be thinking the same thing.
You're like, oh, what if I had one of the models that was affected?
I could be getting a share.
Everyone who has or has had an iPhone.
Anyway, so these are the details.
You need to meet the criteria of these phones.
So you need to have owned an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus,
and or an iPhone SE that ran on iOS 10.2.1.
God, sucks if you own the iPhone 6.
And also an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus that ran on iOS 11.2.
Whoa, okay.
Before December 21, 2017,
you also have to have experienced a diminished performance
on that device.
How do you prove that?
You need to be able to prove it, which I'm not sure how to do that.
You also need to be a US resident.
Oh, yeah, okay.
If you're going to be claiming any of this money.
You also need to submit a thing online,
and that needs to be done before October 6, 2020,
and it's quite a bit of paperwork.
So if you –
And I guess you also still have to have your iPhone 6 or 7?
Yeah, you need to still own it.
Yeah.
And if you do all of that, you may be eligible for $25.
There you go.
Pretty happy with my Samsung at this stage, to be honest with you.
I'm good.
I might apply.
$25 is $25.
$25 is $25.
I reckon go for it.
All right, really simple., Nick, Nick, Nick. Nickname origins.
Right, really simple.
You guys give us your nickname.
Clint and I will try and guess the origin of that nickname.
The best origin story wins free mobile fuel.
Curtis is here first.
Hi, Curtis.
Hi, Curtis.
G'day, guys.
How are you?
Very well.
Love the accent.
Give us the nickname.
So my nickname is Beaver.
Beaver.
Which accent did you mean, by the way?
I don't know.
Yeah, which one was that?
Well, to me, he has an accent.
There you go.
He's got a New Zealand accent.
Okay, Beaver, Beaver, Beaver.
Now, Beaver is quite often given to people who have large front teeth.
Oh, yeah.
But then we also have to think about Beaver, Stephen Donald,
the legendary All Black, who helped us win the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Maybe, yeah, maybe he's a good rugby player.
Or maybe he helped build a dam.
I'm going to say that's not as likely.
Maybe, Beaver.
Maybe.
Maybe. Maybe, Beaver. Maybe. Maybe.
Maybe, Beaver.
Maybe he's a dozer driver.
Why would they reckon with Beaver?
Because he's building stuff.
He's digging dams and stuff.
Oh, yeah, there's a stretch.
You know that's a job?
A bulldozer driver.
That digs dams.
Yep.
He could have that job.
He could.
Yeah.
I reckon it's teeth-based.
Okay, let's go with teeth-based.
Okay, Beaver, do they call you Beaver because you've got a big set of chompers in the
front of your mouth? No.
It's the damn thing, isn't it
Curtis?
No, no, but it was a good try.
Why do they call you beaver? So basically
I was
pushing down the basketball court one day
and teammates yelled out
oh, it's beaver. Because apparently I looked like as I was pushing down the basketball court one day and teammates yell out, oh, it's Beaver.
And because apparently I look like, as I was pushing down the basketball court, I look
like Beavis off Beavis and Butthead.
Oh, my God.
They didn't even get the reference right.
Wait, which one?
Beavis.
Which one's Beavis?
Oh, the blonde one.
Are you blonde?
Yeah, I am.
Okay.
All right.
Wait there, Beaver.
Let's get another one.
Connie, hi.
Hi, Connie.
Hi.
Hi.
So my husband's nickname is Splat.
Splat.
Why would...
I reckon he's had a big tumble after a few...
He's gone splat.
...after a few lemonades, and he's gone splat, and people are like...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or he drops his food a lot.
They have to feed him in a high chair with one of those special bibs that catches all the...
No, less likely, less likely.
Less likely.
What else could it be?
Splat?
Splat.
Something to do with swimming?
Yeah.
Something to do with water?
I reckon it's tumble based.
He's had big tumble.
Connie, did they call your husband Splat because he had a big fall?
No.
My husband, Marty, and his group of friends at school called him Splat
because his nose was so big and splat.
Oh, that's horrible.
Connie.
What does he say about it now, Connie?
Oh, they still call him it now.
They all have nicknames for each other and that's his.
Okay, all right.
Hopefully they're all on the same level then if they're all calling each other that.
Sean, you're going to take us home for nickname origins.
What's your nickname?
White Bait.
White Bait.
Okay.
Yeah.
Let's hope this one's not racially motivated as well.
Yeah, let's hope not.
White Bait.
He's small.
He always smells like White Bait.
He smells fishy.
He smells fishy.
He's a delicious treat,
especially on a piece of white bread with some lemon juice.
He's known for his whitebait fritter recipe.
Or he's extremely, extremely pale.
I reckon he is extremely pale.
Oh, one more.
He's got big googly eyes, like a whitebait.
I reckon he's small, he's extremely pale, and he's a fisherman.
Okay, Sean, do they call you Whitebait because you're a small,
extremely pale fisherman?
No, no, I'm not a fisherman.
Why do they call you Whitebait?
I'm extremely pale, but I wore shorts one day when it's normally an indoor sport
with pants, I wore shorts, and as soon as I walked in the hall,
someone made reference
to my white skinny legs
looking,
flailing around
like white bait in the net.
There you go.
We were close.
Close.
That one was close.
Who are we going to give it to
this week?
I don't know.
What are you leaning towards?
I,
look,
Beaver,
they didn't get the name right.
They got it wrong.
White Baked, Fun.
I reckon a Splat.
I'm going with Splat.
You're going with Splat.
Yeah.
To be honest, that guy deserves it after that horrible nickname.
Connie, we're going to hook you guys up with some free mobile fuel.
Well done.
Awesome.
Thank you.
No worries.
Tell them to get some better mates.
Bree and Clint.
We were having a conversation in the office today
and we were talking about twins and, you know,
them having to share a birthday and they never get, you know,
just a day where it's their birthday.
And then someone in the office goes, oh, well, that's not true
because technically twins could be born on different days.
One could be born at, you know, whatever time.
Quarter to midnight.
Quarter to midnight.
And then the other one could be born 20 minutes later
in the next day.
Yeah, then you legally would have different birthdays.
Yes.
Or so we thought.
Well, that's what we thought.
And Anastasia, the new producer on the show,
she said that you said this happened to your sisters.
Yeah, yeah, it did actually happen to my sisters.
They were both born around half an hour separation,
but one was born on one day
and then the other one was born like five, ten past midnight.
Yeah, so do they have different birthdays?
No, so the doctor walked in and said,
would you like to have one birthday on the birth certificate
or would you like to have two separate days?
And mum said, I want one day.
Your mum took the opportunity
of having their own separate birthday away from them.
She knew that was what that was going to cost her,
like two birthdays for 18 years.
Yeah, she's actually saved herself a lot of pain there
because you would have to have two birthday parties every year. I know she had two kids
but still, two birthday parties
It's not their fault that they were born with another one
The wider issue here is that the
doctors allow you to make up the kid's birthday
because if they'll let you shift it by 20
minutes, how far will they go? Like could I move
my birthday to, mine's in
February, pretty good time of the year, but could I move
it to, I don't know. Well, you know
they don't have a video ref
inside the birthing suite.
So sometimes if you're born around
midnight, they can't go, can we check
the slow-mo on that?
You don't know. You've never been in the birthing suite.
When I was in there, there's a guy that
comes in in these little white shorts, and
he's got a whistle and a stopwatch and a flag.
And when the baby comes out, he goes,
stop the clock.
Really?
Yeah.
See, I've never met that guy.
I wonder how much they get paid for that profession.
Be interesting.
Depends how many babies come out.
Yeah, right.
But I wanted to do like a social experiment where I wanted to find twins where this has happened to them.
Twins with different birthdays.
Yes.
Yeah.
So are you a twin?
And technically, are you born on a different day
to your twin?
This is ignorant of how twins work,
but I wonder how far apart we could get their birthdays.
Well, that's interesting, yeah.
Could one come out two days later?
Yeah.
Again, I have limited experience in the birthing suite.
I'm hoping for the mother that that is not the case.
But we don't know.
Yeah, so I was born and then a week later my twin decided to come out.
Well, also, if you've got different birthdays,
if one of you was born on New Year's Eve
and the other one was born just after midnight on the 1st of January,
then you guys would be twins who were born in different years.
This is a long shot because not only do you need to be twins,
but you need to be twins who straddle midnight.
But we would like to hear from you this afternoon.
Very small pool.
We're hoping for needle in the haystack.
My mum's a twin.
I wonder if she has the same birthday as her twin sister.
Well, shall we get her on?
Yeah, we'll ask her.
Yeah, it's about time you found that out.
She's only been your mum for 30 years.
Long time.
0800 dial ZM if you can answer our twin questions.
ZM.
Bree and Clint.
If you're sitting in your car on this fine Wednesday afternoon
and you've thought to yourself,
I wonder if twins can have different birthdays.
Well, we're here to answer that question this afternoon.
Yeah, we're going to find out.
We just found out from new producer Anastasia,
baby bird over there,
that her sisters, twin sisters, were born on different days, but the doctor just let them go,
we'll just say they were born on the same day.
Can you imagine the doctor just being like –
We'll just draw them together.
The doctor comes over technically, but, I mean, up to you.
Up to you.
I imagine he's holding out his hand for you to place like a $100 note on there.
He's like, just tell me what I should write down.
Whatever you want.
Yeah.
Yeah, whatever you want.
So we're asking this afternoon,
do you know twins or are you a
twin and do you have a different birthday
to your twin? We've got a twin in our family.
Your mum, Mumma Di. Hi.
Hi, Mum. Good
afternoon, guys. How are you going?
Mum, who's the better looking twin?
You or your sister Julie?
Oh,
I think
the jury's a bit out on that.
I think it'll be a bit of both.
It's you.
You're an absolute breath of fresh air.
Tickets on yourself.
Is there any chance that you and Aunty Julie have got different birthdays?
No.
You're born on the same day.
We were born in the afternoon.
How far apart?
There was no chance.
I think my mum always said it was about 12 minutes.
Who's older?
Are you older?
I am older, yes.
You don't look it.
You don't look 12 minutes older.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
You were both born on August 13th, 1941 then?
Oh, 1941 then.
Oh, Brianna.
Fair dinkum.
Fair dinkum.
Love you, Mum.
Okay, thank you, Mum and Di, our first twins for the experiment. You cut her off before she said her real birthday.
It's good to leave some things up to the imagination.
No, it's good to have some, a bit of mystery.
No, she can't.
19.
Let's find our twins.
Hi, Olivia.
Hi, how are you?
Is this you, Olivia?
Are you a twin?
No, it's actually my little cousin.
Okay, and do they have different birthdays?
Yeah, they're like five days apart.
Whoa!
Five days?
Yeah, one was born on the 23rd of January
and the other one was born on the 28th of January.
Whoa!
How?
Yeah, so they were born prematurely, but now they're like so much taller than me 23rd of January and the other one was born on the 28th of January. What? How?
So they were born prematurely, but now they're, like, so much taller than me and they're both, like, 19, doing great.
But, yeah, they're, like, five days.
They were in, like, all the magazines.
That's incredible.
My mind is blown.
Sorry, Olivia, can you explain to me?
So obviously one baby comes out and then how does the other one manage
to stay in for another five days?
It's like staying at a hotel that you haven't paid for.
It's a late, late chicken.
Yeah.
Kind of like that.
Well, I guess they're different stacks, if that makes sense.
So, yeah.
So, one came, they were like 700 grams, so like just over a pound of butter.
Yeah, they were tiny.
Yeah, they were teeny tiny, but yeah, they're five days apart.
So, you wouldn't even tell.
So, they can keep a baby in if they need to?
Incubate it for as long as possible.
Yeah, it was sort of done through.
Yeah, so the first one was like a natural
and then the next one was done through caesarean.
Fascinating.
Amazing, Olivia.
That is incredible.
Let's talk to Bryce.
Bryce, are you the twin?
No, no, my niece and nephew are.
Okay, and how far apart are they?
No, we do five days.
No.
They were about 15 minutes apart either side of midnight.
Okay.
So they're one day off.
So they technically got a different birthday
and on their birth certificate, a different birthday.
Different birthdays, yep.
Mum and Dad definitely wanted them to have,
because they were going to be sharing so much together.
They wanted them to have their own day.
Yes, decision. But, but. They wanted to have their own day.
They're not identical.
Oh, they're not identical. But,
do they still combine the birthdays?
Surely that's a novelty at first,
but then eventually you go, oh, God. Initially, no, but when they got
older and, you know, sort of
over teenagers, yes,
they did combine. Oh, stuff having
teenagers over to your house two days in a row.
Screw that.
Yeah.
True.
Oh, so interesting.
So they decided to go with the different birthdays.
Yeah.
Jacob is a twin.
Hi, Jacob.
Hi, Jacob.
Hey, how's it going?
Are you the better looking twin?
You can tell us.
I definitely am.
Yes, Jacob, we knew it.
What are you?
Are you a boy-boy, boy-girl makeup?
How does your twin situation work?
So we're identical twins.
Yeah.
But I rang up because I love you guys.
Oh, thanks, Jacob.
Love you too, Jacob, and your twin.
What about the twin?
Yeah, what about the twin?
Sorry, about the twin.
So my brother Cameron, I was born three minutes past midnight
and he was six minutes past midnight.
So it was really close.
But I've always hated it because, you know,
like having a joint birthday sucks.
Okay, so you wish you would come out four minutes earlier.
Is that what you're saying?
I wish I came out at like 11.59pm.
Yeah, okay.
Or p.m. Well, from what we're saying? I came out at like 11.59pm. Yeah, okay. Or p.m.
Sorry, p.m.
From what we're hearing from producer Anastasia and her parents,
you can just make it up.
Like if there's any way to go and find that doctor.
It's more a suggestion when you come out and then you can decide, Jacob.
Should we dub you a new birthday right now on the show?
Yeah.
Yes, do it.
Do it.
What's your dream birthday?
What's your favourite month?
Probably, it would have to be probably January.
January?
Okay, and what's your favourite number?
We'll go 14.
Congratulations.
January 14th.
Yay!
Happy birthday.
We'll be known as your birthday, Jacob.
Can I pick a different year as well?
Yeah, absolutely. Pick I choose a different year as well? Yeah, absolutely.
Pick the year.
What year?
I'll go 1995.
You're so young, Jacob.
I know.
Fresh.
Youthful.
Oh, my God.
Are you a Gen Z?
You're a Gen Z-er.
Thanks for calling, man.
We appreciate it.
See you, Jacob.
No worries. Good to hear from, man. We appreciate it. See you, Jacob. No worries.
Good to hear from you guys.

All very different, aren't they?
Very different.
And good for different reasons.
Yeah, I like them all.
My gut says Britney,
even though it gets played a bit still.
It just says that that could be the song. I don't hear that like all the time,
so I'm going to say Toxic.
Oh, you're going to agree.
Yeah.
Like it does get played,
but I'm not going to say it gets overplayed.
Yeah, okay, let's do it.

Pick up what I'm putting down.
Now get to work.
Brie and Clint.
Got a surprise for Brie.
Got a surprise for Brie.
Nice little treat for you.
A movie that we both really enjoyed,
starring one of our favourite actresses,
is getting a sequel.
Sandra Bullock's Bird Box from Netflix.
2018, they've just announced that a sequel is in the works.
It's going to be set 10 years later.
We are going on the trip now.
It's going to be rough.
If you hear something in the woods,
you tell me.
If you hear something in the water,
you tell me.
Terrifying movie
where if you haven't seen it,
the premise is
they're blindfolded the whole time.
There's some sort of evil force that if they see it, takes over their body.
So they have to be blindfolded.
So I thought today...
What are you doing?
I thought today we would do a bird box challenge to celebrate the sequel.
So I've got a blindfold for you, which I'll get you to put on shortly.
Okay.
And then over top of that, we'll just put this one around
so it looks like Sandra Bullock.
There's a blue ribbon to put around the blindfold.
Do you want me to do this now?
No, not yet.
First, we're going to bring in...
Actually, can we bring in the good thing first?
I want to do this separately.
So, in the Bird Box Challenge...
Why...
No, why did you say there's a good thing?
Because there's a good thing.
Because that means there's a bad thing.
Well, there has to be for it to be a challenge.
So, the good thing, you're going to get to eat a delicious piece of pizza.
Great.
I'm keen for that. I've picked up your
favourite. It's pepperoni from Sal's pizza.
I haven't had that in ages. It looks amazing.
Okay. And then you'll
be blindfolded to eat the pizza.
The Bird Box challenge
is surrounding the pizza will be
loaded mousetraps.
So
you'll have to reach down.
Are you shitting me?
And try and get the pizza
Through some loaded mouse traps
Oh my god I'm terrified
But you get free pizza
Don't put them all out yet
Because I don't want her to know where they are
Okay so you hold on to them
So we'll blindfold you first
Okay
In the bird box challenge
Alright Ben can you help me?
Because I don't want to cheat
No you shouldn't
No don't cheat
So blindfold on first I don't want to take my No, you shouldn't. No, don't cheat.
So blindfold on first.
I don't want to take my hat off.
I've got a hat here.
Okay, blindfold on.
Everybody keep in mind while we're doing this that yesterday Brie electrocuted me.
You're so mean.
I'm a lady.
I'm not mean.
You get free pizza out of this.
You don't do this to a lady.
Is that there?
And then, yeah, ribbon on.
Okay, cool.
You shouldn't be doing this to a lady.
Is that my microphone? There it is. Yeah, there it is.
Okay, cool. And now we can get into the
bird box challenge.
So, Ben, please place the pizza
first.
Place the pizza in front of Bree.
Okay, that's there. And Bree,
confirm for me that you can't see anything.
I definitely can't see anything.
Okay, Ben, now please place the
mouse traps. Should I move the microphone? You just let us worry about that. Okay, Ben, now please place the mousetraps. Should I move the microphone?
You just let us worry about that.
Okay, I'll just sit here.
Yeah, there you go.
Now, Ben, please place the mousetraps around the pizza.
Oh, I'm so scared.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't worry about that one.
Okay, we've got four mousetraps.
Oh, my God.
Did you hear how painful that sounds?
We're down to four.
It's better, though.
We're down to four mousetraps. Okay, one in, one in. Yep. And then, okay, yep. Oh, my God. Did you hear how painful that sounds? We're down to four. It's better, though. We're down to four mousetraps.
Okay, one in.
One in.
Yep.
And then, okay, yep.
Oh, my God.
Another one in.
And...
Oh, I feel like you're going to get me with it.
No, we won't get anywhere near you.
Okay.
That's your job.
Okay.
Mousetraps are set.
And the pizza is placed.
And where's my microphone?
Don't worry about your microphone.
We can hear you.
All right, what do you want me to do?
Go for the pizza.
What, do you want me to just reach?
Just reach out.
Oh, I feel like...
Oh, no, I'm scared, I'm scared.
Okay, normal day.
Normal day.
I'm going to try and feel...
Use your bird box sensors. I'm Italian, so I'm going to try and feel. Use your bird box sensors.
I'm Italian, so I'm going to channel the pizza.
If I was a pizza.
You're welcome to sniff as well.
You're welcome to sniff as well,
but remember if your nose gets close to the desk,
you could get a mousetrap to the nose.
Where are they?
What's that?
That's your microphone.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
I haven't felt anything yet.
Where are they?
I can tell you that your left hand is very close to the pizza right now.
No, wait, wait, wait.
Okay.
No, no, no.
Reach out, reach out, reach out
You've got it, you've got it, you've got it
You're safe, you're safe, you're safe
Oh my god
You're safe
No, is there something on it?
No, no, no, no
Is there something on it?
I promise there's nothing
I promise
I promise there's nothing on it
You've got it, you've got it, you've got it
You're safe, congratulations
Alright, we're safe
We're clear, we're clear, we're clear
Everybody, we're clear
Okay, we're clear.
Okay. You can
remove the blindfold.
And there are no
mousetraps, mate. I'm not going to
make you put your hand in a mousetrap.
Oh, my God. I'm exhausted.
Not some kind of
a-hole or anything. Jeez.
He keeps leaving you for dead. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Not some kind of a-hole or anything. Jeez.
Brie and Clint.
Brie and Clint.
Heard the previous break, the Bird Box Challenge.
Maybe you thought that was cruel.
You'll be pleased to know that one of the mousetraps just went off on one of my fingers.
Karma, karma, karma.
We talked about instant karma last week.
Didn't we? That is significantly instant karma. Instant blood, we talked about instant karma last week. Didn't we?
That is significantly instant karma.
Instant blood blister on your finger.
Ow, now I know what it feels like for a mouse.
Can you imagine if you actually put the mousetraps out there?
I wouldn't have done that.
I'd have eight broken fingers.
Yeah, you would, yeah.
Hmm, would have slowed me down.
Anyway, you've...
Would have caused some issues in your...
Don't, don't. I didn't mean it like that.
I meant with reading and writing.
Well, mainly writing.
I would have got a letter of complaint from mum.
Okay, enough.
Someone.
Enough, we're moving on.
The 11th.
We're moving on.
All right.
All right, next.
What are we talking about here?
You're going to talk about job applications.
Job applications.
And this might be some good advice for people who are updating their resume at the moment
or looking for a job.
Yeah.
Because a thread on Reddit has gone viral and it's all about different things that employers
have seen on resumes where they thought, hmm.
Right, yeah.
Probably not going to hire that person.
Okay, this is good information then.
So these are the things you shouldn't put on your resume.
The first one says, I looked at a guy's resume
and it said in the criminal history section they checked yes
and simply wrote wrong place, wrong time.
Spelled R-O-N-G.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
Not my fault, honest.
Yeah, right.
Someone else texted through and they said,
I received a resume that was just his high school football accomplishments.
No other experience written down at all.
There was even a link to his highlight video.
He also included a headshot of him in his football pads.
He was 25.
Dope.
And he was probably not going for a job that required.
No, I imagine it wasn't a football job.
No, I don't think so.
Someone else put on the Reddit thread,
things you shouldn't put on your resume.
Someone said, I had a guy who had in his references email addresses that included
at baddest underscore bitch 420 and also at sexy mama underscore 69.
Hire that person.
Yeah, right.
Give them a job in the WIB team.
Yeah.
Someone else said, I read a resume where someone said
their computer skills included copy and paste.
That's good and important to know.
At least they've got both.
Well, especially if they know how to do it on a Mac and a PC.
Yeah, exactly.
Someone else wrote through on the Reddit thread and they said,
someone said they had a reference
and the only thing under their reference was their name
and that reference was named Cheese.
Their reference was Cheese?
Or a person named Cheese?
A person named Cheese.
Wow.
It's not their fault if their only reference's name is Cheese.
Imagine how awkward it was for that person having to put it down.
Please, Cheese, can I call you something else?
No, that's my name.
If you want me to refer you, then you will call me by my name.
This one's pretty grim, I'm not going to lie.
Someone said I had someone put on their resume
that he'd served six years in prison for the murder of his wife's lover.
He finished by saying, though, that him and his wife were back together.
Put him in the maybe, maybe pile.
Well, don't say no to his face.
Email.
Yeah, that's what.
Free and Clint What if I told you that you could quit your job
Your day job right now
And start earning six figures a month
I would say, yes please
And you'd say, what's the scam?
Yeah, okay, what is the catch?
Well, there's no catch
This is a true story about a 21-year-old woman
Who did exactly that.
She decided she was going to quit her job, her day job,
and go full-time at something she did on the side to earn a bit of extra money.
And she made over $100,000 a month.
Yes.
Okay.
I'm just going to come out now and say, provided that it's not illegal,
I'm going to do it.
It's not illegal?
Cool.
I'm going to do it. Are you going illegal? Cool, I'm going to do it.
Are you going to do it?
For that money, there's very little that I wouldn't do.
Okay, you are saying up front, without hearing what it is,
it's not illegal?
I'm in.
It's full legit?
Contract signed.
I'm in.
All right.
Yeah.
Excellent.
I can't wait to see this.
So she likes to dress up as a dog and create videos for her online followers on OnlyFans.
Okay, I can do that.
We've got a clip here of her and some of her videos that she sells to her fans.
Here we go.
Okay.
You want the ball?
Go get it.
Here you go. Good girl. Hey, what are. You want the ball? Go get it. Here you go.
Good girl.
Hey, what are you doing on the couch?
You know better than that.
Bad girl.
Go to your bed.
No, quit whining.
You know better than that.
Give me the ball.
Give me the ball.
Give me the ball.
Hey, hey, give me the ball.
Okay, all right.
You get the idea.
So now that you've said that you would like to...
For $100,000 a month, I'll absolutely pretend to be a dog on videos on OnlyFans.
Okay, perfect.
Let's do a bit of an audition because you have to be a convincing dog.
Because she's not a naked dog, eh?
No, she's not a...
She's a normal dog.
She might do some naked dog stuff.
Because I'm like, what is the bit that she's doing that means that enough people want to pay to see that?
She's good looking.
Yeah, good looking girl.
And to describe what I can see, she's just wearing like yoga pants and a crop top.
And she acts like a dog.
And she acts like a dog.
I can do all of those things.
I think there might be some more kind of things.
No, no, no.
You said no?
You know, but she does.
She gets paid for those videos that you just saw.
A hundred grand a month.
So, okay, the first audition,
because you need to be convincing enough or else there's no point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So let's kick it off with a dog bark.
Let's hear it convincing.
Get into character.
I'm in character.
Okay.
Dog bark.
Yeah, dog bark.
Woof, woof, woof, woof. Woof, woof. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Good? into character i'm in character yeah okay dog bark good good i'm gonna say pass i'm gonna say i'm gonna say i think i think needs work okay what

Okay, we've been for a big walk and I'm excited but I'm tired.
How's that?

I'm going to say pass.
Final part of my audition. We isolate this piece of audio. I'm going to say pass. And just use.
Okay.
Final part of my audition.
For the last final part, I want you to put it all together.
So what I want you to do, I want you to get down on all fours.
Yeah.
I want you to get down.
Yeah, all right.
On all fours, do a full lap of the studio.
