Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. Can I ask you a question about your relationship, Brie? Are you willing to answer openly and honestly this evening? I'm not saying yes until I know what the question is. Okay, that's very protective of you, but I understand. I'd probably be the same. If you and your partner are alone and it's in the evening and you're watching some TV and one of you opens a block of chocolate, like a full block of chocolate,
Starting point is 00:00:36 full-sized, regular, family-sized block of chocolate, how much chocolate do you expect to still be there the next day? I thought you were going to say, usually I'd say both of us are a one row kind of person. Oh, really? One row each. One row each? Yeah. Far out.

Well that's because I'm like, oh I've worn the same shoes three days in a row, my jandals are easier to put on. Or you'll hug over. I'm pretty sure someone here once got told
Starting point is 00:06:19 off for wearing jandals to work. I doubt it. I was going to say yeah, because someone's going to notice them three days in a row other than jandals to work? I was going to say, yeah, because someone's going to notice them three days in a row other than jandals. All right, let's go. Let's get out of here and start the podcast. Rev it up, baby. Enjoy.

Starting point is 00:08:23 Oh, yeah. I'll pick three Harry Potter movies I would actually hate you forever You can win that off us later in the show Next though, we want to talk about You know, if you ever smashed anything as a kid Or broke something as a kid Is it really your fault?
Starting point is 00:08:39 Like if you were a kid And you knocked something over Can your parents hold that against you? Can they carry the bill forward to when you first start earning money? They can go, all right, well, that time when you were a kid, you kicked a hole in Dad's stereo, so you actually owe Dad $400. Did your parents tell you not to do something and then you kept doing it and then broke something?
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah, there's one of these stories that's come out where some kids have smashed something ridiculously expensive. And we want to know if anyone listening can relate to that next. Oh, no. This is Lewis Capaldi on ZM. It's Before You Go, Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. What did you break as a kid which may have cost a lot of money?
Starting point is 00:09:18 And can it compare to this story? Two kids who were... Oh, yeah. Put a glass there. Put a glass, Phil. Put a glass. Yeah. Two kids who were... Oh, yeah. Put a glass there. Put a glass, Phil. Put a glass. Yeah. Two kids who were mucking around
Starting point is 00:09:29 playing silly buggers in a museum have knocked over and smashed a very expensive exhibit. Ooh. It was a glass castle based on the Cinderella Castle at the Walt Disney Resort. You can see it there. Yeah. Impressive.
Starting point is 00:09:48 It weighed... It's huge. It's huge. It weighed 60 kgs. It had over 30,000 different glass parts which made it up. And it also had accents of 24 karat gold. The castle that these two
Starting point is 00:10:04 kids knocked over in the museum. How much was it worth? $95,000. Yeah. It was at the Shanghai Museum of Glass. Who's taken kids to not only a museum
Starting point is 00:10:20 but a museum of glass? Not my parents because they know they had three boys and one fairly rambunctious girl. No way that they'd be taking us to a museum of glass. Not a chance. It's like taking a bull to a china shop. It's reported that the parents have taken full ownership and-
Starting point is 00:10:39 What, they're going to pay $95,000? Will take responsibility for the cost of any repairs. Oh, I don't know if I would if I was a parent. Oh, that's rough. I'd go, surely you've got some kind of kid insurance.
Starting point is 00:10:51 You let the kids in here. Kid insurance? Yeah, well, you're a museum. Don't let kids in if you're not insured for them. Yeah, well, they would have some kind of insurance.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Of course. Or just run. Just grab the kids and go, we're going. We didn't do it. We've got to go. Yeah. Look at me.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Let's leave. Look at me. We'll deal with this later. But do it. We've got to go. Yeah. Look at me. Let's leave. Look at me. We'll deal with this later. But right now, we've got to go. Let's get out of here. Did you ever break anything expensive when you were a kid? You would. I mean, we were farm kids, so we got into all kinds of trouble.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah. But probably the worst time I can remember is me and my brother, my dad came back from this trip and he bought us Shanghai's. Shanghai's. Oh, nunchucks. No, no. Shanghai is a, what's the thing? Oh, Bart Simpson's got one.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah. Slingshot. Slingshot. Yes. Shanghai. Anyway, they were the ones that had the ball bearings in the handle. Why would he give you those? Because we lived on a farm.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Did he want you to kill pests or something? I don't know. Anyway, he gave me and my brother one of these and we were actually living in a rental house at the time because our house was being renovated. Yeah. And my brother and I were playing this game where we were just flinging rocks at each other.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Great game. Yeah, great game. And my brother flung this massive rock into this huge glass sliding door. Using a slingshot? Using a slingshot. Using a slingshot and smashed the whole thing. See, in that case, I don't believe your dad's got any right to be angry.
Starting point is 00:12:14 No, he's liable. He's liable. He's culpable. That's what my mum said. He's an accomplice. He's an accessory to the crime. Yeah, my mum was only angry at him, to be honest. And it wasn't even your house. No. No, good. What about you? Mainly windows. Yeah, my mum was only angry at him to be honest. And it wasn't even your house.
Starting point is 00:12:25 No. No, good. What about you? Mainly windows. Mainly, yeah. Mainly windows. To the point that we'd be playing any game outside
Starting point is 00:12:32 and my dad would just preemptively come out and go, watch the windows! Yeah, look out for the windows. Dad, chill, man. We were playing marbles. Then you break a window?
Starting point is 00:12:40 Oh yeah, and then inadvertently somehow playing marbles turns into a broken window. Extreme marbles. He had grounds for concern. What did you break as a kid though? We want to hear from you this afternoon on 0800DARLS.M
Starting point is 00:12:50 or 9696. Imagine if you broke something that can rival the $95,000 car sale. I hope not. It doesn't have to. Keen to know whatever thing you broke, which was fairly expensive. Have your parents let you live it down? Did you have to repay them?
Starting point is 00:13:04 Did you have to pay it back? Yeah. Phone lines are open. Give us a call or you can text us like we said, 9696. Brie and Clint. Some kids have smashed a very expensive exhibit made of glass in a museum and I'm not sure it's the kids' fault. Did they ask to get taken to the Shanghai Glass
Starting point is 00:13:20 Museum? I don't know. Probably not their choice. No. They've knocked over a $95,000 glass castle. The parents have offered to pay for it. They've gone, yeah, we get it. We'll sort it out. We'll pay for it. Which I know that's the right thing to do.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Can't they just go through insurance? That's what I'm wondering. Yeah. Can't they send us that bill for the excess only? Yeah. Is it $250? How much? Do you have that insurance where you get a free windscreen?
Starting point is 00:13:48 You know, do you have that one? Yeah, do we have a free part of the castle? Do we have glass cover? Do we have glass cover for this? We wanted to know, what did you break as a kid, which may have been quite expensive? We'll talk to Mike. Hi, Mike.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Hi, Mike. G'day, how's it going? Good, thanks. What did you break as a kid? Well, I had an older sister who thought it would be pretty crack up when she hit some mates around to convince me as a five-year-old that I was Batman. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 And that Batman can run through run sliders. Oh. So I took off headfirst through a run slider and made it all the way through somehow. Were you all right? A little bit of cut and stuff, but nothing too serious. Wow, you're actually Batman. Yeah, I was. I was Batman for the day. After that, you would have probably felt
Starting point is 00:14:31 like Batman. Glad you're okay. Your sister sounds like she was a bit evil. Yeah, I thought it was crack up. She did find it funny until mum found out. Yeah, I bet. Someone text through and they said, I got a slingshot for my birthday and shot out the neighbor's garage window as well as a 1970s Jaguar windscreen and side windows that was sitting in the garage. Dad was not happy. No, but again, this comes back to who gave you the slingshot. If dad gave you the slingshot. And he's kind of.
Starting point is 00:15:02 He's kind of. Not kind of. It's his fault. Yeah. You're all just a kid. Yeah, we don't know. What age is it when you can stop pleading
Starting point is 00:15:10 that you're just a kid? 31. Hey, Liam. Hey, how you doing? Good, man. What did you break when you were a kid? So basically, man,
Starting point is 00:15:19 my mates were playing silly buggers at school and I got angry and I kicked the window. But I didn't realise that all the windows were connected together. So basically one crack led to another, led to another,
Starting point is 00:15:30 and it was about $3,000 worth of damage. Oh. And about eight months worth of chores. Did you... Oh, so your parents got the bill? Yeah, parents got the bill. Dad wasn't happy. He's like,
Starting point is 00:15:43 you'll be washing dishes for the rest of your life. And, yeah, basically eight months of doing anything they said, really. Yeah, breaking rocks in the backyard. It's all glass, eh? Yeah, it is a lot of glass. It's all kids breaking glass. Mel, hi. Hi, Mel.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Yeah, hi. Hi, how's it going? Did you break some glass as well? No, not so much some glass as well? Oh, no, not so much some glass. I was four and I jumped into my mum's friend's car who'd come to visit and let the handbrake off. And we had a slight incline down the driveway, so it went backwards with me in it. And the fence took the open driver's door off
Starting point is 00:16:25 and it came to a stop on the other side of the road in the other neighbour's fence. Wow. But you were okay? Yeah, I was fine.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I ran off because I knew that I was in a lot of trouble. I don't know that you were in that much trouble because whoever your mum's friend is should have left
Starting point is 00:16:42 that car in gear. You know? Yeah. I love how you've got an excuse for everything. No, that's fine. Mel, as a kid, you were probably like, this is fine. I'll just test out the park brake. Oh, yeah, they would have had to have left it.
Starting point is 00:16:53 If you're leaving it on a hill and you're not leaving it in gear, no, they were asking for it. I would have left it in neutral, yeah. Yeah, you're fine, Mel. I don't know how long it's been. Yeah, you're good to go, Mel. You're off the hook, okay? Love it.
Starting point is 00:17:03 All right, perfect. Yeah, take that off your shoulders, Mel. Live're off the hook, okay? Love it. All right, perfect. Yeah, take that off your shoulders, Mel. Live a freer existence. Can you imagine seeing the car? Rolling backwards at the kid in it. Oh, my God. Kevin! Get back here!
Starting point is 00:17:13 Brie and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dee McCarthy. Now, this story for The Latest today, we've kind of avoided talking about a bit, Bree, because I believe that Kanye is in the middle of a bipolar episode.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yeah, well, his family has come out and said pretty much that. And there's been celebrities who have been defending him, like Halsey and a bunch of others, saying, please stop fueling this fire. Yeah, stop treating it like a sideshow. Anyway, it's now spilled right over, and Kim K has been dragged into it as well. So to give us the latest on that, Dean McCarthy joins us.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Hi, Dean. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Yeah, look, I'm on the same page as you guys. I've felt really awkward and uncomfortable and wanting to be so sensitive about how I report on Kanye this week because what we're witnessing is actually very, very serious, you know, and people shouldn't be making light of it, even though it's just so overwhelming some of the things that he has said.
Starting point is 00:18:10 But today, Kim Kardashian has actually responded, and it's very unusual for her to respond about a private matter like this. This is what she said on her Instagram story. She's like, as many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder, and anyone who has a family or loved one who has bipolar disorder will know how difficult it is and how emotional and sensitive it is to have someone like that in their family. And all of the rollercoaster ride, basically, is what she said that they go through.
Starting point is 00:18:36 She's asked for everyone to be more sensitive and kind and caring through this. She didn't address any of his comments. She didn't say anything about the Northwest abortion comments. She didn't say anything about this morning at 2 a.m. in the morning, he tweeted that he wanted to divorce Kim Kardashian after she allegedly hooked up with Meek Mill. That's what he alluded to, then deleted the tweet. So she didn't go anywhere near that.
Starting point is 00:18:58 All she said was, we're aware that my husband has bipolar and she wants everyone to be sensitive and controlled and kind around the situation. So what we're watching unfold is basically an episode of his bipolar disorder on a very public scale. Yeah, and it's hard to see people go through this who are in the public eye because he is so visible. And if he is having problems at the moment,
Starting point is 00:19:22 they all play out on the world stage and then it feeds straight back into it because it gets reported on and he gets chased and that sort of thing. And it must be the most stressful situation. And you and I have talked about it, Brie, and sort of gone, where is Kim K through this whole thing? But then you don't understand
Starting point is 00:19:36 what people who have loved ones who have to deal with this stuff with them while they're dealing with it, you don't understand what they're going through in those situations. I'm sure they're all really struggling at the moment. And if you are struggling as well, you can call Lifeline
Starting point is 00:19:50 0800 Lifeline or text HELP, which is free 4357. Yeah, and that's for anybody who's struggling, not just the people who may have bipolar. No, for anyone. That's for anyone who's trying to cope at the moment too. It is a really hard time. Thanks for the update, Dean. That's very interesting.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Brian Clint. Anyone who is looking to buy their first home at the moment, listen up, because yesterday a house went up for auction in Auckland. Oh, don't worry about buying then, because... No. Your first home. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I've looked. Someone has to buy their first home in Auckland and went up for auction with a reserve price of $1. $1. Was it a Barbie dream house? $1, $1? No. That was a real house in the South Auckland suburb of Manurewa and that means that if one person turned up
Starting point is 00:20:43 and bid $1, they'd get their house for $1. They would have to turned up and bid $1, they'd get their house for $1. They would have to sell the house for $1. So obviously it's like a marketing ploy where they do that so it creates this attention and buzz and, you know, stupid radio people talk about it on their show. Oh, how cynical of you. No, but that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:21:03 It's a marketing ploy, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I didn't buy into the marketing ploy, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, I didn't buy into the marketing ploy. You're just here for a bargain. I'm just talking about it's already sold. So there's no point marketing it because it's already gone. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:17 So I'll give you the details on the house before I tell you how much it's sold for. Okay. Okay, $1 reserve, which means like you said, if they only get a dollar bid, it's got to go. Yep. $2 bid, got to go. $3 bid, got to go. $3 bid, got to go. The house, to give you an idea of how much it might be worth, last time it sold was in 2002.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Okay. And it sold for $140,000. Wow. It's a three-bedroom fixer-upper. That's how you would describe the house. Got it. So great for a first-home buyer. Yep. Three bedrooms, room to add value.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Before the auction, they actually received a formal cash offer to purchase the house. Yep, cash. Someone offered them $3 on Instagram. Oh, God. Where are they getting that kind of cash? I know, right? And they said, no, look, we're going to go to auction. Nice offer, but I think we're going to go to auction.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Actually, I think legally they have to start the bidding at $3. If they've had an offer of $3. So, I mean, they've tripled their money straight away by starting at $3. The house did successfully sell at auction yesterday. There were 40 people there bidding on the house. Fair few. Yeah, it's a decent amount. The $1 reserve got people there.
Starting point is 00:22:23 How much? The house with the $1 reserve, which could be your first home if you've gone there, sold for $600,000. So you're just slightly above reserve there. Slightly above reserve. $599,999 above reserve. And $70,000 over the CV. So the $1 reserve thing worked.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Yeah, it got people there. Yeah, because people were bargain hunting. But do you think that the auctioneer had to stand there and go, okay, $1, I got $1, $1 over here, $1, $1, $2, $2 over here, $2 over here.

Starting point is 00:23:08 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50
Starting point is 00:23:11 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 $2.50 and show people that you're a mean business, what's the amount you're going in with? You go, make the first bid. I'd probably go... Ten bucks. Yesterday, the big story was that Aunty Cindy had to fire somebody for having an affair in the workplace. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:40 No. Yuck story. The immigration minister got found out for having, I'll use the official wording. He was fired for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member in one of the departments that he headed. So he was the leader of that department. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:03 And was hooking up with someone in the department. Yeah. Yeah. Not great. No, not great at all. Because I mean. Especially because he was married as well. Yeah, I mean, that's not a great look for the government.
Starting point is 00:24:15 No, no. And so Jacinda. Who we're meant to trust. Jacinda Wynne. Okay, well, you're gone. Thank you. See you. See you later.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I wonder how long. Thanks for coming. I wonder how long they were getting away with it 12 months 12 months is a fairly good stint to get away with it Yeah But It's one of those things Where
Starting point is 00:24:38 Look The reason that he's gone They say it's a power imbalance thing He was the boss And there was something involved there Look, the reason that he's gone is that they say it's a power imbalance thing. He was the boss and there was something involved there where... Yeah, I can see what they're saying. Yeah, and they've gone, look, this is inappropriate. He used his power to... Yeah, I guess it could be perceived as that, right?
Starting point is 00:24:55 But that's not how all workplace flings operate. Sometimes it's just... Some are okay. Yeah, sometimes you're just hooking up with the person in the cubicle next to you and you're going, oh, I need to get some stationery. Do you need any stationery? And they're like, actually, I do need some stationery. Can I come and get some stationery with you?
Starting point is 00:25:13 We are not condoning hooking up in the stationery cupboard. Are we not? No. Are we not? You can't do that. If it's not a power imbalance... There's cameras in there, at least in our work. Not at all workplaces.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Yeah, at ours. I've checked. Like, if it's not a power imbalance and it's cameras in there, at least at our work. Not at all workplaces. Yeah, at ours, I've checked. Like if it's not a power imbalance and it's not against the rules at your workplace, is there anything wrong with a workplace romance? I don't think so. I mean, it's up to you. Like, you know, do you want to have the risk of... Make work more exciting.
Starting point is 00:25:38 ...potentially going wrong and then you have to see that person every day? Well, this is the issue. And this is why some bosses request that you do not dip the pen in company ink, so to say. Well, the other saying is you don't shoot where you eat. I didn't say it, but people know. Yeah, that's the other one. Yeah. If you were, if you were going to, what part of the building, what part of the building would you?
Starting point is 00:26:06 Well, here at our workplace, we've got how many levels? We've got one, two, three plus a basement. Two basements. So five different levels. I'd say at least two levels away from our level. Right, where no one knows you and you don't know anybody. You'd be like, hello, I'm just here for a meeting. Yes. And everyone, yeah,
Starting point is 00:26:28 just is none the wiser. All the rooms in our building, though, are made of glass. They are. Maybe it's to avoid this situation happening. Possibly, yeah, everything's transparent. Because you're telling everyone to go hook up in the stationary cupboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, right, okay, yeah, right. Have you
Starting point is 00:26:43 ever hooked up with someone from work? No, no, no, no, yeah. So, right, okay. Yeah, right. Have you ever hooked up with someone from work? No, no, no. No, not at work, no. No, I didn't say at work. Someone from work. We're going to take some calls this afternoon on 0800DIALS.NM. You just gave me my answer. We're going to go out and ask you,
Starting point is 00:26:59 have you ever had a workplace fling? Have you had something going on with someone that you work with that was like secretive? Nobody else knew, it was just you guys. I do like the secret ones. Maybe it was sinister, maybe it wasn't. Maybe it wasn't, maybe it was fine. Maybe it was an affair, maybe it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Maybe there's another reason why you had to keep it secret. Yeah, and how did it go down for you? We didn't even get our poll results. Do we have those, producer Anastasia? We've been polling you guys on Instagram today to see how many people have had a workplace fling. What do the numbers look like? Yeah so we asked them
Starting point is 00:27:26 exactly that and 32% of people said they have and 68% said no So a third of people listening That's about right I reckon 0800 dials to them
Starting point is 00:27:35 if you want to share your workplace fling story with us Are you in that third? Yeah We'll take your calls You can remain anonymous if you need to
Starting point is 00:27:41 or you can text us as well on 9696 We're asking this afternoon have you had a steamy workplace fling? on anonymous if you need to, or you can text us as well on 9696. We're asking you this afternoon, have you had a steamy workplace fling? How long did it go for? How did it start? Friday beersies.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Oh, that'd be common. Christmas party. Yeah. I had a friend of mine. Working late on a project. The two of you get asked to do some overtime, and it's just the two of you there, and one of you goes,
Starting point is 00:28:04 should we get a Chinese? One thing leads to another. You've watched too many rom-coms. Before you know it, you're asked to do some overtime and it's just the two of you there and one of you goes, should we get a Chinese? One thing leads to another. You've watched too many rom-coms. Before you know it, you're sweet and sour porking. A friend of mine met her partner at Friday Drinks and they kept it a secret because they worked at the same office. Kept it a secret for, I think, 12
Starting point is 00:28:19 months and then now they're married. Would be awkward the eventual big reveal to your workmates. The day you just choose to show up to work together at the same time holding hands. Or they see you parking in the same park and you're like hang on a second. How do you announce that after so long? I know.
Starting point is 00:28:35 How do you diffuse it? We can find out from some people who are having or have had workplace flings. The first of our anonymous callers is here. Hello, anonymous. Hi. Yeah, they're not going to know which one's which. It's you.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Oh, hello. Hello, hello. Yeah, that's you. Hello. Oh, thanks. Have you had a workplace fling before? I have. I'm still currently going, but the managers know now. Ah.
Starting point is 00:28:59 How long did you keep it a secret for? I think we last about four or five months. Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. Are you in a job where you have to declare to your bosses if you keep it a secret for? I think we lasted about four or five months. Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. Are you in a job where you have to declare to your bosses if you're having a relation? Oh, no, we don't have any strict rules on it, but we're quite a good team, so I felt like by this point we kind of had to tell them.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Was everyone else shocked? No, it was kind of like a, now everything makes sense as to why I'm here. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, Uber didn't show up. Does it make work more exciting? It did for a little bit, but then it got quite nerve wracking. Yeah, because you get terrified.
Starting point is 00:29:35 You don't want to call them babe in a meeting. You're sneaking around. Yeah. You don't want to be walked in a stationary cupboard. Oh, thank you, Anonymous. Sarah, hi. Hi. Hi, Sarah. You had a workplace fling? I did. Yeah. hi. Hi. Hi, Sarah.
Starting point is 00:29:46 You had a workplace fling? I did. Yeah. What happened, Sarah? Tell us. Give us the juice. It went on for about six months, and then we came clean and stayed together, and we've been married for 12 years and got a child together. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Do you still work together? Yeah, we do. Wow. You still child together. Oh, that's lovely. Do you still work together? Yeah, we do. Wow. You still work together. Oh, that's awesome. Well, you're an example of how it can work. It can turn. It can.
Starting point is 00:30:12 It can turn out really lovely. How did it start? Christmas party. Yeah, like a function. Drunken work function. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh, Sarah, what a cliche. I know. Yeah. No, I. Oh, Sarah, what a cliche. I know.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah. No, I like cliches. It's nice. Congrats. It's awesome. And our second anonymous caller. Hello, anonymous. Hi.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Hello. Hello. Was it you that had the workplace fling? Yes, still going one and a half years later. And is it still a secret? Yes. Oh. Why does it have to be a secret, Anonymous?
Starting point is 00:30:49 Would it just, yeah, my business, I guess. Yeah, okay. Yeah, right, so you just don't want your workmates to know that you're hooking up with a colleague. Without revealing too much, we don't want to know the name or anything, can you tell us the industry that you work in? It is an office job and we're in the same room.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Oh, you're in the same room. Oh, God. Have you utilised any workspaces, if you know what we mean? No, not yet. Not yet? Not yet. It's been a year and a half. Nah, that's good going, can I say.
Starting point is 00:31:24 A year and a half, you work in the same room. You guys are like undercover spies or something. Is it a fling or is it a full committed relationship now? I would go with full committed. Yeah, nice. Oh, well, that's lovely. Good for you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:31:39 There you go. Three successful workplace flings. Yeah, I don't know if that's the best because they don't always if that's the best, because they don't always turn out well. No, by that, three from three, baby. It's a great idea, unless you're in the government. Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I'm Alex Casey. And I'm Duncan Grave. We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time. We bloody love reality telly. If we sound like your type on paper, join us each week for your fix of reality TV news, recaps and gossip. On The Real Pod, it's perfectly fine to like reality TV. It's a safe space,

Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network and available wherever you get your pods. Bree and Clint. Clint says I'm a big nerd, but I am proud to say I am a big Pokemon fan.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Always have been. Always will be. I wanna be. I missed it. Yeah. Good one, nerd. Here it comes. Here it comes.
Starting point is 00:32:44 You can hit it. Oh. No, no nerd. Here it comes. Here it comes. You can hit it. No, no. It didn't get me that time. Here it comes. Here it comes. Words? Oh, damn. It doesn't have the words in it.
Starting point is 00:32:56 So I didn't miss it. Anyway, I want to talk Pokemon for a second because this might interest anyone out there who collected Pokemon cards, which I did collect the cards, all right? Nerd! Got to catch them all. Anyway, so there's a UK dad who is about to cash in on his Pokemon card collection. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:20 So this made my ears prick up because I'm like, what? Because you're a fellow collector. I'm a fellow collector. I've got a book of cards. You're a fellow Pokemaster. That I don't do anything with. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Maybe I can make some money. So he's from Birmingham and he received a collector's edition of Pokemon cards from his mum in 1999 after sticking up for his brother. Oh, right. He got it as a present. Yeah, so apparently his brother was conned out of one of his rare Pokemon cards by the kids across the street. Yeah. And this guy, Nigel, went back and got the card for him. Good big brother.
Starting point is 00:33:56 So he got this limited edition pack or whatever it was, but he actually didn't even like Pokemon cards that much. Yeah. But he thought, I'm going to put them in a book, like the Pokemon collector's book. Yeah. Keep them, maybe they'll be worth something. Seve.
Starting point is 00:34:11 One day. So this is 20 years later. It's the 103 card pack. And they believe it's worth $50,000. Right. And they say there's one $50,000. Right. And they say there's one particular reason, and it's because you won't really know what this is. You've never looked so bored in your life, Clint.
Starting point is 00:34:35 It's because it's got a shadowless background. Wow. Mate, you're the one that buys a $50 worth of lotto tickets every week. If you just kept your Pokemon cards, you could have had 50 cards. I never had Pokemon cards. I'm just joking about the nerd bit. Sorry that I'm not. It's because I don't collect Pokemon, so I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I had worse collection than Pokemon cards. What? I used to collect phone cards. Phone cards? Like actual phone booth phone cards. God? I used to collect phone cards. Phone cards? Like actual phone booth phone cards. God, how old are you? Excuse me, my dad worked at the
Starting point is 00:35:12 gas station and he used to bring them home from the phone booth and go, here you go, here's one with a wicker on it. I was like, cool! Thanks, Dad. Stuffed Tarzos. I want this cool phone card. Anyway, there you go. If you've got Pokemon cards, you might be able to cash them in. But they have to be in perfect condition and they have to be the shadowless background ones
Starting point is 00:35:31 and they could be worth $50,000. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Pokemon news. Go check what you've got. COVID has messed a lot of people's plans up, a lot of people's flights. I know you would have liked to have gone home by now and visited your family.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Yeah, I've got a three-month-old nephew that I've never met. Yes. Which is sad. And you literally can't go. You tried to book some flights yesterday. They actually don't have any. I didn't realise that. You can't, even if you wanted to go and quarantine.
Starting point is 00:36:00 No, I don't think you can. You can't book the flights. I think you need to get like special... Exemptions. Exemption or something. I feel like you'd have the plane to yourself too. Yeah, I feel like you would. The tickets must be bloody expensive.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Anyway, this story would interest you, although I don't believe you can do what this guy's done to get home to his family. He's a 20-year-old from Greece whose name is Cleon Papadimitriou. It sounds very Greek. I think I nailed that. Yeah. old from Greece whose name is Cleon Papa Dimitrio. It sounds very Greek. I think I nailed that. Yeah. He was studying at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland
Starting point is 00:36:31 but he wanted to get home to Greece to, I guess, to do the lockdown and the pandemic with his family. Yeah, fair enough. He's like, screw this. I'm getting out of here. I'm going home to mum. His flight home got cancelled three times in March because of everything that's going on.
Starting point is 00:36:48 So he decided that to get home to Greece from Scotland, he would cycle. He would cycle? Yeah, he'd get a bike and he would bike to Greece. How far is that? Well, if he's catching a plane, it's got to be a long way. He packed as little as he could, because you don't want to cycle with too much stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:10 He packed a phone charger, toiletries, two changes of clothes. That's how producer Ben always travels. Yeah, that's him going away on a kontiki. Rain jacket, a jumper, a tent, a sleeping bag, four days of food and water. That's it. So he's, okay. He just took off.
Starting point is 00:37:33 He would set up campsites on the side of the road, camp in forests, and if he knew someone in that city or country, then that's when he would get a hot shower and maybe a sleep on the couch. I need to know how far. Okay, I'll get there. And how long?
Starting point is 00:37:49 He Instagrammed the whole thing. So he turned it into a real mission. It's kind of become his OE, this whole thing. You can't bike the whole way because there's some oceans. So he took a ferry from the UK to the Netherlands and then he cycled from Germany for several days into Austria and then on the eastern coast of Italy, he then got on a boat and crossed over into Greece.
Starting point is 00:38:17 In total, he visited five countries on his bike. Okay. It took 48 days of cycling. 48 days? And 3,500 kilometres. And from what I can tell, he wasn't even a cyclist before he did this. He just goes,
Starting point is 00:38:36 I've got to get home. I've got to get home. I'm going to start biking. That distance, by the way, is roughly two and a half New Zealand's. So it's like biking from Cape Reinga to Invercargill and then back to Cape Reinga and then biking to Wellington. Can you imagine how sore his butt would be?
Starting point is 00:38:57 Yeah. Can you imagine the chafe? Can you imagine? He'll be walking like a cowboy for the next three months. But he's home. He's home. It's all good. And that's the main thing.
Starting point is 00:39:07 And he didn't have to pay for a stupid flight. Basically free travel, right? Yeah, so free. Yeah. Bree and Clint. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart. Debatable.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Talented. Athletic. Not really. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. Our epic movie guessing game where if you can beat Brie, today you'll take home $400 of free mobile fuel. Keeps jackpotting.

Starting point is 00:39:58 How are you? Too good, Clint. What's up? Hey, man. Any smack talking you want to do before this game? You want to set the tone at all? Oh, I just don't even know. I'm going to wipe the floor with her, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Oh! It's over. I love it. Have you ever played What's the Plot before? I don't know, but anything with Bree in it, it's sort of just, you know, it's over. All right, let's do this thing. This guy's seriously confident.

Starting point is 00:40:49 Dreamgirls is correct. Oh, that's sad. Dreamgirls stars Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. And Jennifer Hudson, who is Effie. One of my favourite films, and I know the character very well. Josh, I can confirm Brie is not looking at the piece of paper. This is being read off my screen
Starting point is 00:41:11 and she can't see. You're breaking my heart. Okay. Movie number two. You're not out of this, Josh, but you do need to get this one. Game on. Game on. I want that confidence back from you, okay? You were going to wipe the floor with Bree. You told us.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I am. I still am. All right, good man. Here we go. Movie number two. This film is a police drama about a veteran officer who escorts a rookie on his first day with the LAP. Bree.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Training Day. Training Day. Is correct. Starring Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg alongside Denzel Washington. Yeah, getting wiped. No word. Along the floor. No word. Feels actually pretty good, Josh. Someone got the floor wiped with them today, didn't they? Yeah. Come back next week, Josh.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Cheers, Bree. See you there. Thanks, Josh. Thanks for playing, man. Next week, the money jackpots to $450 mobile fuel, and that's what's the plot. Bree and Clint. How much did you or did they spend on the engagement ring?
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah. Very excited for two friends of mine. They've recently got engaged. I was chatting to one of them about it and they let slip how much the engagement ring was worth. Oh, yeah. Which, I mean, is that something you tell people? It's personal.
Starting point is 00:42:41 You can choose to or not. We're pretty good friends, so I think it's fine. There used to be a formula for how much you're supposed to spend on the engagement ring. I don't think you meant to ask. Oh, you meant to ask. You're not meant to ask. Yeah, there is a formula.
Starting point is 00:42:52 The rule of thumb, usually they say, I'm doing, what's that? Ear quotations. Ear quotations. They say is you spend two months of your annual income on an engagement ring. So, for example, say you earned $60,000 a year. Yeah. You would spend $10,000 on a ring.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Which is so much money, especially if you're only earning $60,000 a year. Yeah. But on the flip side of that, you only buy the engagement ring once. That's it. You shell out for it once, and then that person wears that ring for the rest of their life. So that's something to think about. I mean, $10,000 is a bit of a waste of money.
Starting point is 00:43:34 $10,000 is a lot of money for just an object. Yeah. And to be honest, if my partner had spent $10,000 on the engagement ring, I want you to ask. I want you to ask how much. Yeah, ask me how much it is. And if I bought it, I want you to ask. So I can go, you go, Oh, how much was it? $10,000 on the engagement ring, I want you to ask. I want you to ask how much. Yeah, ask me how much it is. And if I bought it, I want you to ask.
Starting point is 00:43:47 So I can go, you go, oh, how much was it? $10,000? $10,000. $10,000? Yeah, I spent $10,000. Well, that wasn't the case with these two friends of mine because they let slip that the engagement ring was worth $100. $100. Hey, $100. slip that the engagement ring was worth a hundred bucks.
Starting point is 00:44:08 A hundred bucks? Mm-hmm. It was found at an antique store. Yeah. And it was, yeah, just an old ring. Yeah. She loved it. Is it gold?
Starting point is 00:44:20 I don't know. I didn't ask. Is it just a costume bit? Is it like a... It's not like a plastic ring. It's like a real ring. But yeah, $100. Is there any chance it's like an Antiques Roadshow
Starting point is 00:44:31 and they spend $100 on it, but it's actually got like some crazy... Could be. Could be. Or it could just be a $100 ring. Or it could just be a $100 brass. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Either way, I mean, if she was into it, was she into it? Yeah, she picked it out. Because I can hear guys listening to this right now going, oh real can I just go cash converters and just get the cheapest ring there? Well don't, don't know about that. And they'll be cool. It'll be like a cool story. You've got to both be into it, right? That she likes, I think, is
Starting point is 00:45:00 the main thing. Something that she would look good on her. If she likes a bargain, then great. But make sure you know that before you propose to her. And if it's her style, then get that for her. But I thought it'd be fun to ask, and I know that you normally shouldn't ask, but we're on the radio and people can remain anonymous.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Oh, we can ask. So that's fine. How much did you spend? Or how much did they spend if it's your ring? Yeah, if you got given the ring, do you know how much your partner spent? Yeah. Yeah. Really interested to know, is there like a standard amount these days?
Starting point is 00:45:32 So you go, oh, yeah. Two months of your annual income. No, surely that's, no, no, no. Surely that's, surely that's. I don't know. Well, we'll find out from people. Because how long would you have to save up? Longer than two months because you've still got to eat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:42 You'd be saving for like. Years. Years, yeah. All right,'ll be saving for like years. Yeah. All right, $800 a day. How much did you spend on the wedding ring? Yeah. Engagement ring.
Starting point is 00:45:50 How much did you spend on the engagement ring? Or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. Talking engagement rings, how much did you or did they spend on the engagement ring? Yeah. A couple of friends of mine have gotten engaged, $100. Are they going to go large on the wedding because they saved on the ring or are they just... I think they're big travellers, so they'll probably go big on the honeymoon.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Are they the non-materialistic type? Yeah, that's how I'd describe them. Oh, those people. Always make me feel bad about myself and my constant need for things. So we're asking you, how much did you spend on the engagement ring, right? Yeah. Is it still the old rule of two months wages for whoever is choosing to do the proposal?
Starting point is 00:46:31 Hopefully not. Yeah, so they say two months of your wage. Or maybe you went really cheap as well. That sounds like a lot. Jenna's here. Hey, Jenna. Hello. How much, is it your engagement ring?
Starting point is 00:46:45 Yeah. So we got married as teenagers, and I got a $79 ring from what was Cash Converters in those days. Whoa. There you go. Yeah. And then when we'd been married for 20 years, my husband came home on our anniversary,
Starting point is 00:47:00 and he had taken his whole yearly bonus check to a jeweler and said, what can I get for this? And in the end, I got a $10,000 engagement ring on my 20th wedding anniversary. Okay, so worth the wait. Here's a big question. He's gone on with 10 grand and gone, give me the best ring I can get.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Did you like the ring that he chose? I love it. Amazing, Jenna. I never missed having diamonds until I got them. Yeah. And then a year later, I spent another $4,000 getting a wedding ring made to match it. Oh, well done, mate.

Starting point is 00:49:39 Imagine you're going to Les Mills to do a pump class and you don't want to grind on the bar, so you put your ring inside your Lululemons. Imagine if you lost your $60,000 ring. I'd sell it and buy some other stuff. Imagine trying to explain it.

Starting point is 00:49:58 and they bought them home a quarter of a million dollar ring as the engagement ring. What? She said in the text message that she'd turned around to them and said, take that back and get me a more reasonable ring and ended up with a $12,000 engagement ring

There's a guy that is claiming that the reason his wife has gotten pregnant for the second time is because of the family cat's fault. He's not happy. As he wouldn't be. He's putting all the blame on the cat. Yeah. And there's one particular reason.
Starting point is 00:57:47 I'll tell you the story and then you decide. If it's possible. Whose fault. All right, as a man with a wife and two cats, who's probably not ready for another kid. You should probably look out for this then. I'm all ears. Yeah, you should look out for this.
Starting point is 00:58:00 So they'd recently had a baby and they decided that they were going to hold off from child number two for a couple of years because they had a few pregnancy problems and stuff. So they were just going to wait a little bit. Anyway, the wife decided to stop taking the magic pill because it made her feel sick. So she said, I want to have a break from that. So instead, they've gone the old fashioned safety method. The love break from that. Yeah. So instead they've gone the old-fashioned safety method. The love glove. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Yeah. Which is, you know, they've been safe, doing all the right things, so you'd think no worries. Wow, 99.9% no worries. A couple of months down the track and the wife starts to get a bit, you know, morning sickness and she's having all the same feelings and she's like, oh, I think I might be pregnant.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Oh, yeah. Anyway, they do the test and sure enough, she's pregnant. Yeah. And they both cannot figure it out. Yeah. Turns out the protection they were using is in a low level shelf in the cabinet in the bathroom. Yeah. And the cat loves to play.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Oh, no. With the Q-tips. Yeah. And the cat got a hold of. The cat's clawed through the rubbers. A few other things. Anyway, he was like, I don't understand what's going on. So he went and checked yeah pulled out every
Starting point is 00:59:27 single one had been that bloody tampered with and i can imagine if you weren't fond of the cat to begin with you want to be like if you're that cat you want to be giving constant smooches you want to be the best behaved cat you've ever been because that is an expensive expensive play toy for a cat to have punctured can you imagine telling that story to the kid yeah you made it to the kid yeah right okay well what's the lesson here the lesson is um store your um things up high or um away from keep the keep the cat out of the bedroom or all of the above.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Just don't do it. Don't do it. Just don't do it. Like they said out of Mean Girls. Just don't do it. Because you will get pregnant and you will die. It's safe.
