Turn my own mic on, yep, because I know how to press buttons. G'day guys, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. You're probably wondering how I'm getting a word in first. Oh, come on. I'm just kidding. Guys, a little bit of a heads up today. Clint isn't here at the moment. We started the show, so it's going to be quite a short podcast yeah today how long

is it going to be producer ben i'd love to be able to get bang on the dot but i'd probably say about 25 about 25 minutes uh instead of your normal length podcast today because we had to stop the show uh uh halfway into it uh but we thought we'd upload what we did get through today so if you you know need a fix or yeah. A short fix is better than no fix. Producer Anastasia, are you going to say anything? Again, no headphones, but that's partially my fault. I'm a week and a half in, so I should have brought some. Can you hear me from over here on the other side of the desk?

So far away. Can you hear me? No. Hey. Anyway, yeah, just a bit of a heads up. The podcast is a little bit different. Should be all go tomorrow. Nice big Friday podcast.

We can go to them once everything is open again and stuff. Yeah, message us where the best place would be to go internationally for Friday Okie.

Yeah, and do we get a bar tab? That's going to be the biggest probably. You guys think that's a joke, but as a producer producer that's my number one job for literally using brie she'll say i want a wireless mic and i want a really big bar tab i'm like look how about just a bar tab and she's like no that's my two things she'll get in she'll be like where's my bracelet for the bar tab ben what does that tell you i love to be no you're a mingler i'm a mingler because i love to have a wireless mic so i love to be you know how far does this go how much range do i have on this mic mingler because I love to have a wireless mic, so I love to be, you know, free.

No, first Friday hockey ever. I'll be trying to, whatever you drink, I'll drink. Oh, that was a bad decision. You've I'll drink Oh that was a bad decision You've said it now That was a bad decision From you Although she is young And she has a lot

She doesn't know She doesn't understand fatigue yet It also does work against me sometimes Did you Forget that I was Australian? A country Australian Momentarily Because you sound like a New Zealander

No you don't Wait what does that mean? That you're an Australian? As in Aussies know how to drink. Oh, right. Okay, I'm with you. But also Kiwis know how to drink too. So, you know.

But hey guys, drink safe. Drink safe. Drink responsibly. You know, so have a friend when you're drinking because that's always responsible. Speaking of Aussies versus Kiwis, in the short podcast today, we put it to the test whether or not we can tell the difference

between an Aussie and a Kiwi accent. That's right. And, well, you're going to have to listen if you want to find out the results. And you can listen right now because here's the podcast. Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play Zedim on iHeartRadio 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. G'day everybody, welcome to the show, Bree and Clint. Hi Bree. G'day guys. How are we? Good?

Yes, good. Cold. I'm actually a bit cold. Sorry, we just synced up for a second. I was thinking how long we could do it for. Are you cold? No. It's really cold in the studio today.

Yeah, right. Yeah. You need to get one of those. This is what I like when people do it at their workplace. They get one of those little gold ear fan heaters from Briscoe's and they just put it under their desk and they've got it running because why wouldn't you be warm at work? It's not your electricity. Those things cost a fortune to run.

Yeah. But you're like, oh, well. That's why I do all my electricity-ing at work. Yeah. Yeah, like a cook my toast. Charge my phone here. Your hair dryer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, sometimes I stay back and watch a bit of TV here. Bree brings in her electric blanket and plugs it in, clearings it up to three, and then at the end of the show, quickly wraps it up, takes it home before it gets cold and puts it in the bed. Well, I can't experience level three. It costs too much money.

Did you have that in flats that you used to live in where there was a rule no electric blankets? It might be a Kiwi thing with how cold our flats get. You've lived in that, producer Anastasia and people are so ruthless on the power bill. They're like, okay, we all have to make a deal. We don't turn the heat pump on, and

we don't use our electric blankets. Well, remember it was a while ago now, but I had that disagreement with the two flatmates. They were from Norway, and they used to keep the underfloor heating in the bathroom going 24-7. Yes! Even when they were at uni, from

like 8 in the morning until like 9 at night, they would have it on. And I said to them, I was like, I don't mind you putting it on, but do you have to have it on all day? And they were like, yeah, because then it's not hot when we get home. How bougie is underfloor heating? It is bougie. That's when you know you've made it. If you own a house or you live in a house where you have

and you can use underfloor heating, oh, you've made it. A lot more common in New Zealand, I've found. Underfloor heating. Yeah. In Australia, everything heats itself. Yeah, you don't need it. My parents have just gotten underfloor heating in their new place and my mum says she always finds their cat in the bathroom.

Asleep on the floor, yeah. It is the ultimate of, sorry to go deep into underfloor heating chat, it is probably the ultimate luxury, right? Yeah. Because how long are your feet on those tiles for? Not very often. And most of the time you'd have slippers on anyway. But what a wonderful treat if you can afford it.

It is delightful, I'm not going to lie. And we're going to give away $350 of free mobile fuel today with What's The Plot, our movie guessing game, just before five o'clock. I always think it's more money, but turns out, no, that's, which $350 is a good amount? $350 is a great amount. And if you want to win it off Brie, you just have to beat her before five.

But next, we're going to ask you a question. What did you get stuck in? Can be anything. Have a think. Like the cat from Norway that got stuck in the doorway. We'll ask you next. Brie and Clint, sit in. Dealing with your friends. Brie and Clint, sit in. Dealing with your friends.

Brie and Clint. Did you get stuck somewhere? And by that I mean usually in something. Stuck in, like inside. 14-year-old Leilani suddenly found herself stuck in a sticky situation when she decided she was going to climb into a child swing located in the local park. She was filming a TikTok video, which this doesn't end well, does it? I feel like this is how most bad stories where the fire service is going to be called are going to start for the next few years.

They tried to free her, her and her friends, for more than an hour until her mum made the call that they had to call the fire brigade. Yeah, right. Yeah. I always wondered this about the fire brigade because, I mean, and I'm only speaking from my experience, there's not that many fires, are there?

They do a lot more than that. No, there? They do a lot more than that. No, I know they do a lot more than that. So how much of their bread and butter is pulling people out of things that they've got stuck in for stupid reasons, like Leilani and the swing? Yeah, they do a bit of that too. And if you're in the fire service, do you go full kit if you're going to pull someone out of a swing?

It looks like these guys were in the video. You put on the big baggy trousers and the suspenders and the helmet. And do you get to use the siren? I don't think they would put on their helmets because I think they know what they're going to. Yeah, yeah. So that's what I'm wondering. But then, like I said, because there's not that many fires,

are you excited to put the kit on? You're like, oh, I just want to get dressed up please. I think there is quite a few fires Okay. You reckon? I don't know I mean if you're a firefighter text through 9696. Yeah. I'd like to know yeah how many fires. How many fires have you been to this week? Yeah

I'd love to know. There'd be kitchen fires or like little ones maybe Yeah. I don't know. How many fires have you been to and how many people stuck in things for stupid reasons have you been to this week? What's the ratio? Anyway, once the fire brigade got there it took them, they

used a bunch of different things. Jaws of life? Washing liquid, soap and then eventually pneumatic drill. They were able to free her by cutting the chains of the swing and being able to push the swing off after that. I hope all of this ended up in the TikTok.

It did. Oh, it did? Yeah, it did. I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's gone viral. That's why we're talking about it. I don't know if it's really what you want to go viral for. Wasting emergency services

time and resource. You probably would have picked something else before this. Yeah, but you know, whatever works, I guess. Whatever gets you onto the For You page, you've just got to do it. I can relate. For a long period of my life, getting stuck in things was my thing. We're talking Coke bottles,

fences, I had my knee stuck in a playground, But my greatest achievement was On a family trip to the viewing deck of the Sky Tower I managed to get my hand stuck in the Sky Tower How? So you know how there's the glass window that leans outward So you can look over and look down And it's got like a

It's not a 45 degree tilt on it But it leans outwards There's another piece of glass at a right angle to it Which is like a support angle to it which is like a support or a frame or something like that and something inside me went, oh I can get my hand through there. And I don't know why but I just stuck my hand through it and before you knew it

my hand was stuck in the Sky Tower. And they had to get people to come over and help to pull. And I started overreacting because I'm like, I'm stuck in the Sky Tower. I'm never getting out of the Sky Tower. I've ruined the holiday. How long did it take to get it out? It took about 25 minutes to get my hand out of the Sky Tower. Decent. But there you go.

I've literally been stuck in the Sky Tower. Yeah, I'm not sure too many people could say that. But 0800 dials at M, what have you been stuck in? Yeah, what did you get stuck in wherever? It might not be your whole being. It might be a body part of yours. A part of you might have been stuck in wherever. Wherever. Yeah. It might not be your whole being.

It might be a body part of yours. A part of you might have been stuck in something or you might have your whole physical body stuck inside something. Yeah. Text us on 9696 or you can call us 0800-DIALS-IT-M. What do you get stuck in? What do you get stuck in? Bree and Clint.

Girl on TikTok has found herself in the situation of getting stuck in a children's swing. I mean, I definitely have tried to get into one of those. Look, I'd say it looks like a nappy. Yeah, I know the one. The swing that looks like a nappy. Yeah, the one that supports you front and back. There's always one normal swing and then one nappy-looking swing,

and usually you're with a friend and someone has to go on the nappy swing. If you're going to try and go over the top, you'd choose the nappy one. Quite often it's got a lap chain as well. Yeah, yeah. I've definitely tried to get in one of those, but I couldn't get down further enough to get stuck. Couldn't even get one leg in? Nah.

I was in the clear. I'd get stuck at the butt part. Yeah. Be like the ultimate swing, kids swing muffin top. Firefighters came for her. I said, if firefighters know they're going to cut a kid out of a swing, do they still put on the helmet and the pants? I've had a message to say that firefighters go fully dressed,

even if they're just going down the road to pick up pizza for dinner, so that if they get called to a fire, they can go straight there and they don't have to go back to the station. That makes a lot of sense. That does make a lot of sense. We're getting some great messages on where you've been stuck, by the way. And traffic. Yeah, I'll take that.

Someone said traffic. You can get stuck in traffic. Someone said in a bad relationship. Yep, you can get stuck in those as well. Also, yes. Christina, hi. Hi. What did you get stuck in?

Well, we were taking our car for a walk to the good old XS because we wanted to take it out that night and it failed on one of the headlight bulbs not working. So I was like, I can change that. And I was changing it outside the walk space and got my finger stuck in the headlight.

Yeah, right. Okay, so you got stuck inside your own headlight. Yeah. I was like, I can change this. It was stuck for ages. All my friends were laughing at me and I couldn't own headlight. Yeah. I was like, I can change this. It was stuck for ages. All my friends were laughing at me and I couldn't get it out. Yeah. How did you get it out, Christina?

I just had to pull my hand really, really hard and it really hurt. Yeah, right. Was it at that point you wished you'd just paid the $15 for VTNZ to put the bulbs in for you? No, I wish I got my husband to do it. At some point, did you feel like you were engaged to the car? Yeah. You and the car became one.

Nikita, hi. Hi, how's it going? Good. Thanks. What did you get stuck in? It wasn't me. It was my two-and-a-half-year-old son. Oh, no.

What did he do? He was at the babysitter's and he decided he was going out their cat door and he got a head and a shoulder out and then he got stuck. Oh no. Smart. My daughter's just started playing with the cat door now. I'm worried she's going to get her hand stuck.

I didn't think about the fact that she could put half her body through the door as well. Yeah, no, they can. Yeah, right. And so what did you do, Nikita? Well, the... Oh. Oh no, we've lost her. Oh, we lost Nikita. Um, well, the... Oh. Oh, no, we've lost her.

Oh, we lost Nikita. No. Oh, I'm still here. There she is. What did you do? Um, the fire brigade was rung to try and get him out because the babysitter couldn't get him out. Um, and it turns out that my father's actually in the fire brigade,

so it was his grandson he had to get out. Oh, my God. He goes, I know this child. What a great result. He's like, I'll get him out. I know what he likes. Next talk to Jade. Jade, what did you get stuck in? Hey, I got stuck upside down in a chairlift.

No, I don't want to hear about this. No. This is terrifying because I used to work on a chairlift and you'd see the people at the end where they had to get off. And if they don't get off and they go around that back, but they can get seriously hurt. You're upside down. Were you going up the hill so it was getting higher and higher?

So I wasn't quite on it. I was queued up to be the next person going forward. And as it came around, the people on it hadn't got off yet. And my friends thought it would be funny to push me forward. So I ended up sitting down on the lap of the person still on the chairlift. They pushed me forward. I went face first into the snow, but my ski got stuck in the bottom of the chairlift

and it kept moving for a little bit and then they obviously halted the whole thing. How high above the ground were you, Jade? Oh, not too high. Enough that my face was still firmly in the snow. That'll do it, though. Oh, God. That terrifies me, that story.

Are you going skiing this winter? I've never been skiing since. No, I don't blame you. I can't believe the person pushed you off. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This is the latest.

Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, some very, very big celebrities are getting hacked on their social media at the moment. Yes, today on Twitter, it is the most unprecedented hack Twitter has ever had. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Apple itself, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Kanye West. All of these huge accounts today on Twitter were hacked by someone trying to do a Bitcoin scam.

Then Twitter did something also unprecedented. They stopped every single verified account from tweeting. They stopped tweets from verified accounts until they finally got their head around it. I don't really know how they got their head around it, but what they slowly did was they took away a lot of functionality, slowly started to release functionality again to those verified accounts, and released a statement saying how embarrassed and sorry they were. Okay, here's an example of one of the tweets. They said, if you send us $1,000, then we'll give you $2,000 back. That was from the Tesla CEO, Elon Musk.

So people were like, hell yeah, girl. Anyway, you know, so people fell for it. Because you kind of would. If Bill Gates tweeted, send me $1,000 to this link, I'll give you $2,000 back, I would. Would you? I wouldn't. Would you? I am that dumb.

See, I look at these things and I go, who's falling for that? Because one of them was Joe Biden, the guy who's running to be the next President of the United States and he goes, it's time to give back to my community. Send me a thousand Bitcoin and I'll send you ten thousand back. I just don't believe it. I wouldn't believe it for a second. I'm skeptical at the best of times. I don't believe anything on the internet.

Like if my mum sends me something I'm like, who is this hacker? That's scary though that you would believe it, Dean. Like that, you're going to get, your DMs are going to get flooded with offers now from Kiwis with ill intent going, send me some money, Dean, and I'll double that for you. Or princes from somewhere around the globe. And also, the biggest thing that concerns me out of this story

is people are still trying to make Bitcoin happen. Yeah, yeah. Like, get over it. Bitcoin's done. Shunky McGarry's big on the Bitcoin. Yeah, of course he is. He bought quite a bit of Bitcoin, I think. That's why he's big on it still.

He's like, let's try and get it happening again. It's coming back. Well, Dean hopes it's coming back too because he just gave $10,000 of it to Bill Gates and Elon Musk. That's your latest with Dean McCarthy live out of Los Angeles. Conversation went down in my household the other night where an ad for an Aussie TV show came on and it was, I want to say, let's just, how am I going to dance

around it? They were bogans. Aussie bogans. Full ochcca. Full Occa Aussie. And I mean, like I can talk, I'm from the country myself. But my partner goes, I literally don't even notice your accent anymore compared to that accent that's on the TV. Oh, that's nice. Which I mean, yeah, very lovely. She's finally accepted you. I don't know about that. But I have always maintained I really can't most of the time tell the difference between an Aussie and a Kiwi. Really?

Like when I'm living here, like when I meet people, like there's been a few times where I've met Aussies who have been living here for a little while and I've been talking to them and then they'll say something and I'll be like, are you Australian? And they'll be like, yeah, can't you tell? None of the rest of the world can tell us apart. No, we're very similar. No one outside of Australia and New Zealand knows

that there even is a difference between countries. No, they think we're the same country. Yeah. They think New Zealand is like Tasmania. Yeah, they go, oh, Lord of the Rings. They filmed that in Australia and Australians go, yep. Oh, Lord, she's from Australia and and Australians go, yep. Oh, Lord, she's from Australia

and the Australians go, yep. Oh, yeah, I claim that one. That's a good one to claim. Yeah, that's the best one. Okay, so we've got a game idea. How does this work?

So essentially, it's going to be between you and I and whether we can tell the difference between an Aussie and a Kiwi accent. Apparently, it is breaking news. I've pushed the wrong thing there, haven't I? There we go.

All right, so we've had a bunch of people call up. We don't know if they're Aussie or if they're Kiwi. AJ, hi. Hello, mate. G'day, mate. G'day, mate. Oh, we've met you. Yeah, I've met you, AJ.

I'm going to lock in Kiwi. I'm going to lock in Kiwi as well. Hey, thanks, mate. You're a Kiwi, aren't you? Yes, you're a Kiwi. Yeah. We're one for life. Thanks, mate. Thanks, AJ.

We've met him, though. Thanks, mate. We've talked to him a million times, so that one doesn't count. Okay, Darlene, have we ever met you? No. No? Okay, cool. Darlene.

One of my hobbies is I like to do gardening. She's Australian. She's Aussie. She's Australian. Or she's trying to do an Aussie accent. No, I think she's putting on an Aussie accent. Okay. That sounds fake.

Okay, so you want to go Kiwi? I reckon she's faking an Aussie accent. I'm going Kiwi because she can't hide it. No, Aussie. Aussie. I'm going Aussie because she can't hide it. Jude, what are you? I'm Australian and I've been here for 22 years.

There you go. Jude, I'll tell you, you haven't lost one bit of the accent. No. You always think I sound like a Kiwi, though, when I go home. Oh, you're in no man's land. Okay. Yeah. All right.

Well, I've got three correct and you've got one correct. I feel like everyone is Australian now. Sam, hi. G'day, is Australian now. Sam, hi. G'day, Sam. Hey. Sam, where are you from? Sam, where'd you grow up? Where'd you grow up?

That'll just give it away, won't it? Yeah, it would. Oh, smart. No. Okay, Sam, what do you like to have on your fish and chips?

Oh, lemon juice. This kind of gives it away too. Lemon zest. Lemon juice. Lemon juice. zest Lemon juice Nah he's Kiwi I can tell He's definitely a Kiwi Sam are you a Kiwi? Nah Aussie Are you?

How long have you been here Sam? Five and a half Six years One more Jill G'day mate No now this is one where One more. All right, Jill. Jill, hi. G'day, mate. G'day.

Jill, can you say this phrase for me? Stone the flaming crows. Stone the flaming crows. And can you say this saying for me? I've popped the plug in my jindal. Oh. She can't do it. She's Australian.

No, I reckon she's Kiwi. Go on, give it a go. I've popped the plug in me. I don't know what you said. Jindal. Oh, she doesn't even. I don pop the plug in me. I don't know what you said. Jandal. Oh, she doesn't even... I don't think she's either. I don't think she's either.

I think she's neither. Okay, Jill, are you... South African. She's South African. She's British. Jill, where are you from? I'm a Kiwi. Oh, there you go.

I knew because she was taking the piss out of the Aussie accent. I should have known. Slippery, slippery heel. I went to Australia for five days, so I might have picked up the accent. Bree and Clint. I'm a sucker for you. ZM, Bree and Clint, that's the Jonas Brothers in Sucker. I'm a sucker for you.

If you were listening before our scandalous topic about secrets you're keeping from your partner got derailed by, I got some really bad news and I actually had the news before we'd done the break. I'd actually had the news for about half an hour. It's funny how this stuff, you think you're fine and then it just sort of sneaks up on you and then wham. And you were talking and I started to burst into tears. To be honest, I wasn't looking at you because I was reading from the thing or else obviously I would have noticed that you weren't all right. So I apologise for that. I'm going to share what the news is because it's out there. It's actually been published in a few places now.

So I think it's okay to talk about. But if I am the person who's letting you know this news, then sorry that I have to be that person for you. But a lot of people will know this person, a guy called Cooge, who I used to work with when I used to work back at The Edge. And he's sort of become the face of young people living with and fighting cancer more recently. He's done a lot of campaigns for, I think he did some for the Skin Institute.

Melanoma, right. Well, he had multiple types of cancer. Anyway, the news is that's just come through from Cooge's family is that Cooge passed away this morning. And Cooge is a very good friend of mine and my wife's. He took the photos at our wedding. I've known him for probably about 15 years. So it's really, really sad, but it's the end of a very long and brave battle with cancer for Cooge. So he knew it was coming

and he had the chance to record a message, which he got out to all of us via Facebook over the weekend. So he was able to say what he wanted to say and in turn we were able to get messages to him. So it's one of those situations where so many times someone just goes you know and they just disappear and you don't get the chance to say what you would have said yeah um and you regret that for a long time this isn't like that it's different because we had that opportunity um with cooch so um to his friends and

family that are listening at the moment, he is going to be very missed. The fact that he's on the front page of all of the news websites, you might not know who we're talking about and you might go, wow, this guy means something. And he does. It's just, it's touched me personally

and that came out live on the radio. So I want to let you guys know. I met him once. I met him once at F45 and he lights up, he lit up a room. Like he really did. He was, and it was a memorable meeting. So I know obviously what you're talking about. I met him once, like, you know, very memorable, lovely young man.

He still, he was in his thirties. So he's very young and it's very tragic. But he's at peace now. But he is at peace and he was suffering. He doesn't have to fight anymore or suffer and you know. But it's an important message I think, especially when someone

young passes away. When anybody does and when anybody that's important to you does, but especially when someone young does, I think it's important a reminder to take stock of what's important and who's important to you in your life and who you maybe haven't connected with recently and for that reason I'm gonna not do the rest of the show and I'm gonna go home and be with my wife and just yeah and of course and I think know, we all support you and we're here if you need us. Yeah.

But sometimes, you know, you just got to put other things first and we're here to support you for that. You can take the rest of the day off too if you want. Thanks, mate. And thank you for the nice messages. Talk to you guys back tomorrow. Bree and Clint. See ya.

Greetings, Bree and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up. Redeem points for rewards. Easy. See ya.
