Hi everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast
Where I've said, hey, you ready to do a podcast intro?
And Brie said, yeah
And she was walking out the door and I said, well, we're recording
And she goes, start without me
Did you bloody start without me, you little piece of shit?
Yeah, you said start without me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Get in here
Whoa
Get in here
What are you whoa, whoa, whoa-ing at?
Swearing
She's done worse than that
You've broken my screen
She's done worse than that
That's my, like, fond term for you.
What?
Piece of shit?
You little piece of shit.
Well, happy second anniversary to you two.
Oh, yeah.
Isn't that a nice lead in?
It's our second anniversary.
Look at Ben trying to fix his screens.
They're not your screens, mate.
Chill out.
They're the company's screens.
Stop touching the screens.
Sorry, then.
Happy second anniversary Ben
Thanks mate
He's been here the whole time too
Should we call Ellie
And make her feel bad for leaving us
Before our second anniversary
Oh yeah
No I'm just trying to think of something
We can do to actually
She might not pick up because she has no reception in her house
Oh yeah that is true
That is annoying. But...
That is annoying, eh?
Yeah, that...
Can you imagine living somewhere where you can't take...
We had to get rid of her as a producer.
We couldn't get hold of her.
Get a landline.
We were like, move!
Get a fricking landline.
No!
Who doesn't have cell phone coverage at their goddamn house?
She doesn't live in the bush either.
She lives on the north shore of Auckland.
I'm going to give out her address.
It's actually ridiculous.
That's a good idea.
Okay, we'll give her a call. Bree's got a good idea. Okay, I'll give her a call.
Bree's got a big idea. No, I don't have
a big idea. I said to you, do you have any idea? No, just say it. Be confident.
Just say it.
It's ringing. That's a positive sign.
Doesn't normally ring.
She might not be at home.
She might be with her new friends.
Jet setting. Maybe she's like, you know,
somewhere on set. Be jet-setting. Maybe she's like, you know, somewhere on set.
Be nice if she answered.
Almost like she still cares about us or something.
Hi, you've reached Ellie Hart.
I'll give you a call back as soon as I can.
Otherwise, bye.
No, wait.
Thanks, bye.
Ellie, you little piece of shit.
First of all, you break up with us before our second anniversary
and then you don't answer our call on our second anniversary
where we wanted to make you feel bad about leaving us
before our second anniversary.
So boo-hoo to us.
Obviously, we're the sad ones in this situation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at you, moved on, and us.
We showed her.
Still calling you and stuff.
Ben, put the boot in.
The what? Put the boot in. Yeah, I'll tell her.
No, do it now. Put the...
Do it. Don't make us the bad guys. Oh, sorry.
Yeah, it is pretty shit from here.
We love you and we miss you. Bye.
Bye. Okay, she's gone. You can say
what you really think. Yeah, I mean...
Oh, yeah, that's right. That's an answer to the show.
I'm so glad that she's not here. Oh, she's just You can say what you really think Yeah I mean To be honest I'm so glad that she's
Not here
Um
Oh she's just said call back
Did she really?
Yeah she's just texted
Now she's gonna get that answer machine
And we've just you know
This'll be awkward
I'll start the conversation
The same
Just to keep it generic
Yeah you do
You do your big idea
I should have...
What?
No.
That's too late now.
Is this good radio?
Is this a good podcast?
Yeah, it is good.
Okay, cool.
Hello, Ellie speaking.
Ellie, you little piece of shit.
Oh, g'day, you bastard.
Oh, if it isn't Miss.
I'm too good to last two years with the people.
She's got commitment issues.
We know that.
Is that what she's got?
Yeah, commitment issues.
I got scared, okay?
It was all too fast.
It was all too much all at once, you know?
Well, you've missed out because we've done our two-year anniversary naked.
Very intimate.
We're on a new level in this relationship.
We oiled each other up.
Yeah.
I always wanted to see everyone's penises, including Bree's.
Bree's wearing a merkin.
Yeah.
That's hot.
I like it.
I like it.
I'm guessing this is a podcast intro, so I'm okay to swear, am I?
Well, if you need to, yep.
Oh, fuck yes.
All right, okay.
Well, was that really necessary?
You're going to have to put a disclaimer on the – we haven't done it for a long time, Ben, but You're going to have to Put a disclaimer on
We haven't done it
For a long time
But you're going to have
To put a disclaimer
On the front of the speaker
I miss those times
Where we did the real
Raunchy ones
No
Yeah let's bring that back
No no
Bring it back
Yeah bring it back
Okay Ellie
Ellie you've been brought on
To say something nice about us
For our second anniversary
And go
Oh wow this is on the spot
But you know it's not hard
To think of lovely things
to say about all you three.
Stop fighting for time.
No, you know what?
That day was one of the most exciting days of my life,
our first show together.
And I will forever treasure it because you're all great humans
and I really, really actually genuinely miss working with you guys.
We told you you would.
This isn't a job interview.
I feel like I have. You were right. I told you you would. This isn't a job interview. I feel like I'm...
You were right.
I got my job back.
Right, well, we miss you too.
We miss you a lot.
And if you have a voicemail alert,
don't listen to it.
Yeah, there's nothing on there.
That's a mistake.
It's a butt dial.
Yeah, and people got...
Why do you...
No, it's just a butt dial.
People got emotional and, you know...
Things were said, but it wasn't real.
Things were said, but we didn't mean it
we had the wrong number
we meant to call
Ellie
Golding
yeah
oh yeah
who's that
that's it
cesarean
ha ha
okay
well I guess
this is a special appearance
do you want to start
the podcast Ellie
oh
alright everybody
I have no idea
what happened in today's show
but here's the podcast
it's good.
Now, piss off.
Is that good?
You left for a reason.
Okay, I love you guys.
Love you.
Bye.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play Zedim on iHeartRadio.
Playing Zedim on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show. Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hi everybody, welcome to the show. Brie and Clint, hello Brie. G'day mate, how are you?
I'm good. We were just talking about David Clark. Yeah, the health minister who went
for the mountain bike during the lockdown and then threw Danny Bloomfield under the
bus. Didn't he? Was he the one that took his kids to the beach? Or was that someone else?
Good question.
Producer Ben, do you know who that was?
No.
Who were we thinking of?
No, but I think he was the one that went for the bike ride.
Yeah, he went for a mountain bike ride.
Right, right.
He might have gone to the...
Anyway, he's resigned.
What level was that in?
Level two, level three.
That was full lockdown.
Full lockdown, I think.
Full lockdown.
He's gone.
He's resigned today.
And the big one was the video that came out last week where he threw Dr. Ashley.
And he'd done the wrong thing too.
Under the bus.
And you just saw Dr. Ashley's face in the background.
He was crying.
Well, he wasn't crying.
No, he looked like he was.
He looked like he wanted to cry.
My heart was breaking for him.
Anyway, he's resigned today.
Why did he resign? He said that his actions and the news around him
are taking attention away from the good job
that the government is doing in the COVID crisis.
Okay.
So he's becoming a distraction, essentially.
Right.
So do you think it was him that...
No.
Right, he got told...
No, I think Jacinda sent him a text and was like, hey...
Saying, you can pretend like you're resigning, but see you later.
Yeah, but if you don't, I will change your swipe card to the beehive
and you won't be able to get in.
Anyway.
Right, anyway.
Hey, we're playing What's the Plot today.
It's our movie guessing game that we play.
The movie jackpots every week that someone doesn't defeat Bree.
Producer Ben is saying it's $250 today,
but you're quite sure that it's more than that, right?
I'm pretty sure it's way more than that.
Producer Ben, are you confident we're playing for $250 today?
$250 today is 100% correct.
Don't make me go through the old podcast.
Well, that would mean that you've won four weeks in a row.
It means you've got a month of victories,
and your last loss was five weeks ago.
One, two, week off, another one, another one.
Oh, and there's a week off in there as well.
Oh, the week off.
I swear we were playing for $300.
Come look at the spreadsheet.
We're playing for a minimum of $250 of mobile fuel.
And what's the plot?
Could be more today.
Could be $350.
Just before five o'clock.
We're going to play that.
But next, Bree has, what would you call this?
Is it a theoretical question?
I don't know. I'm not, I think
it's kind of science. Yeah.
It's like a scientific. Kind of science.
No, it is a scientific based question
and it's to do with your perspective
on time. Okay. Alright.
There's two different types.
Every person is either one or the other
and I'm going to tell you which one you are
next. Right.
If you kind of know about science... Am I a philosopher?
You should apply for David Clark's job.
It's kind of science.
Bree and Clint.
ZD and Bree and Clint, that's Topic and Breaking Meat.
We're like a bad cliche at the moment.
We are making our intern, Michaela,
frantically deliver us milk for our cup of tea.
Damn it, Michaela!
This is part of the radio learning process and you're doing a great job, okay?
You're on to great things.
Can you come and stir my tea, please?
I'm just kidding, Michaela.
Thank you.
I wish we were joking.
Did you know that I took a course at uni for philosophy?
No, I didn't know that you did a course at uni for philosophy.
Yeah, one course.
It was about a month.
A month?
You did a month of philosophy?
Pretty much.
I'm pretty philosophical now.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, and I thought I'd share something that I actually saw online
and it blew my mind quite a lot.
Sure.
And I want to see what category you fall into
because essentially it was talking about how us as humans, we only perceive time in two different ways.
Okay.
So either you're the type of person that perceives it in column A or you perceive it in column B.
Right.
Two different ways.
And that's it.
And that's it.
There's black or white.
Well, that's what they're saying.
Yes. So essentially I looked into it and's it. There's black or white. Well, that's what they're saying, yes.
So essentially I looked into it and I'm going to ask you a question.
So if you're listening right now and you're like, oh,
I want to know which one I am.
Yeah.
And I'll tell you what they are, the two different ones,
once I've asked you the question.
Okay, sure.
So all you need to do is answer this question for me.
If I say that Wednesday's noon meeting has been moved forward by two hours,
do you think the meeting is now at 2pm or do you think it's at 10am?
Oh, so read the question one more time.
So if I said to you Wednesday's noon meeting has been moved forward by two hours. Do you now think the
meeting is at 2pm or do you think the meeting's at 10am? Okay. I know what I think. Okay. So don't
tell me. Cool. I want people, if you've been listening to that right now, I want you to call.
I want to see if we can get both perspective types. Okay. So call now, 0800-DIAL-ZM,
and I'll tell you the difference between the two.
Okay.
And which one you are.
And you can explain to us how we interpret time.
Yes.
God, you are philosophical.
It was one course, mate.
Good course.
Took one month.
Damn, good course.
I was distracted.
Brian Clint.
Everyone gear up because I'm about to get all philosophical.
Saw this thing on the internet.
Made me sit there and question, which one am I?
How do I perceive time?
Sometimes I just look like talking lower like this.
So essentially it said, every human being,
there's only two ways that we perceive time.
It's either one or the other.
Okay.
And I was like, ooh, interesting.
I wonder which one I am.
So essentially they can do it where you have to answer this one question.
Yeah.
So the question is.
I'm so keen to know which one I am, by the way.
You get invested, right?
You're like, which one am I?
Psychoanalyze me, Bree.
So answer this question if you've just joined us and
I'll be able to tell you which one you are.
So if I say that Wednesday's
noon meeting has been moved
forward by two hours
do you now think the meeting is at
2pm or do you think it's at
10am? Cool, got it. So you
got it? Yeah, is it time for me to reveal? It's time
for you to reveal which time
do you think it is now?
If the meeting has been moved forward two hours, the meeting is now at 10 a.m.
Okay, cool.
In my mind.
In your mind.
Perfect.
We've got some people who have also called through.
I'd like to see if we've got both perspectives on the phone.
Oh, you're going to keep me waiting even longer.
Okay.
Yeah, fine.
Hayden.
What's the philosophy's about?
Hayden, hi.
Hi, Hayden.
Hiya.
What time's the meeting?
10 a.m. 10 a.m. You're the same as me. Same as Clint.. Hi, Hayden. Hiya. What time's the meeting? 10 a.m.
10 a.m.
You're the same as me.
Same as Clint.
Perfect.
Stick with us.
All right.
Amber, what time's the meeting?
I think it's at 2 p.m.
Perfect.
Okay.
The meeting's been moved forward from 12 and now it's at 2 p.m.
No, it's been moved forward so then it'll be at 2 p.m.
Great.
You're the other perspective, which is awesome.
So we've got both.
Hannah, what about you? What time's the meeting? Definitely at 10 a.m perspective, which is awesome. So we've got both. Hannah, what about you?
What time's the meeting?
Definitely at 10 a.m.
Anything else is wrong.
Because it's forward.
It's come forward, which means it's sooner, right?
Yeah, exactly.
This is philosophy.
No one's wrong.
No, I'm with Hannah.
Everyone else is stupid.
All right.
Jenna, what time do you think the meeting is?
2 p.m.
2 p.m., perfect.
But it's been moved forward, Jenna.
No, this isn't about attacking the other perspectives.
I'm not attacking, I'm convincing.
Okay, no, Jenna, that's fine, yep.
And Craig, what time do you think the meeting is now at?
Craig.
Craig.
Oh, sorry, you there?
Yeah, hi, Craig, what's up?
You almost missed the meeting, Craig.
I've got a kind of a double entendre answer.
For me, my business mind will always say 10, but I also say 2.
Oh, so you're both.
See, Craig, you know what?
I'm like you.
I first thought it was 2, and then I also was like, no, that would be 10.
So I'm both.
Can we find out who we are now?
So what are the 10 a.m. people?
So let's go to theam people. You guys are what is known
as people who perceive
time moving.
So you're, hold on, wait, you're moving
perspective of time. So
you see yourself as stagnant
and as time moving towards
you. Yes. So you're
standing still and you see time
moving forward towards you. Yeah, it's a linear
thing. That's why the past is behind us because it's moved past us.
That's right.
That's what I believe.
So now the 2 PMers, which is there's no right answer.
The wrong people.
No, there's no wrong people.
People who are going to be four hours late for the meeting.
They are known as ego moving perspective of time.
And you see yourself as moving forward through time,
which I kind of like that.
So time stands still and you move.
Yeah, you're moving through time.
Wait, does that mean that us 10 AMers see ourselves
as the centre of the universe and everything is...
Knowing you makes sense.
There you go.
Yeah.
I quite like philosophy.
Except for Craig, where everything's just flying around him.
Craig's all over the place.
Brian Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, the richest man in the world's love life is in the news today, isn't it?
It is.
I think it's one of my favourite stories we've ever discussed.
When Jeff Bezos started dating Lauren Sanchez,
we all wondered how on earth
did the National Enquirer get all these juicy,
intimate details on the richest man in the world.
It has now been revealed that Lauren Sanchez,
Jeff Bezos' girlfriend,
her brother, Michael Sanchez,
sold the story, the details,
and pics of Jeff Bezos to the National Enquirer for $200,000.
It's all been revealed today because the National Enquirer actually came out and said it was her brother that sold the story to us.
Now, that never, ever happened.
I can't even remember a time when a press publication has said
this was our source.
They never do that.
They did that because
the brother,
get this, it gets better,
was suing Jeff Bezos
millions of dollars
because Jeff alleged
that it was him.
And finally National
Enquirer came forward
and said,
I'm sorry,
stop suing him
because it was you.
We have proof
and here's the $200,000
check that we gave you.
Wow.
Oh, God.
That is so juicy.
So he sold out his own sister for $200,000.
I've got to be honest with you, Dean.
I would consider selling out my sister for $200,000.
No, you would not.
Yes, I would.
Yes, I would.
Oh, no.
No, yes, I would.
If she was dating, Dean would as well.
If she was dating the richest man in the world,
I would consider selling her out for $200,000.
Because she's fine.
What does that have to do with it?
Because she is fine.
She literally couldn't be more fine.
She's dating the richest man in the world.
Not after you sell her out.
Well, like, Dean, you agree with me, right?
I'm making the right decision here.
Well, here's the thing.
If he was really smart,
you wouldn't get in the bad books
of the richest man in the world.
You'd get in the good books
of the richest man in the world.
Wouldn't you rather chummy with him and get more than 200K?
Yeah, I'd be hoping to get Jeff in the Secret Santa for Christmas.
Yeah, true.
I've made a mistake, haven't I?
I've taken the quick payday and it's all blown up in my face.
Shotgun Jeff for the Secret Santa.
Oh, Jeff, you just got this from Amazon.
That's the latest with Dean McCarthy.
He's our Hollywood correspondent.
Live out of Los Angeles.
Brian Clint.
Speaking of da baby, maybe you're having one soon.
That's what they sound like.
Well, get used to it, mate.
Get used to it.
Producer Ben, can you please delete that sound effect from the whole system?
No.
Thank you, Ben.
Thank you.
Because you need to learn.
Yeah, you need to learn.
Remember those photos I had from you from that weekend?
Yeah, well, you were in them too, so that's hard for you.
I've got ones without me in them.
Hey, look, I've got important baby name news, okay?
This list has been released of the most searched baby names
in New Zealand for 2020. Okay.
And yes, you're right. It feels like this list
comes out every second week. I feel like
there's a new one every two months. Yeah.
Well, here's the new one. And I think I'm
past caring. Okay, okay, okay.
But that's because you're not in the market for a
baby anytime soon. No. No.
I just don't really. No. Well, you can still
decide whether you think they're nice names or not. Okay.
Okay. So I'll go
fifth to first most popular for the
girls first. Fifth most searched
baby name in New Zealand in
2020. Isla.
Yeah, that's been popular for a while.

My cousin's called Asher.
Asher.
I'd picture a girl being named Asher.
Yeah, I reckon it is.
It could be either way.
It could be either.
And number one, Milo.
Milo.
The name that Art and Matilda chose for their adorable baby.
That's right.
They did too.
I would definitely call my kid Milo.
That's fine.
Those are the most searched. So you'd argue they might end up being the most too. I would definitely call my kid Milo. That's fine. Those are the most searched,
so you'd argue they might end up being the most common.
I found another list.
This is the list that people aren't publishing.
It's the list of most badass baby names that you can get.
Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do?
You wanna hear these?
Yeah, this is good.
Okay, I didn't write this list, by the way.

Little baby Axel.
Blade and Ranger.
Those are the most badass boys' names.
Are they all cars?
Ranger is a car.
I'm sure there's a Blade.
Oh, I'm going to...
There's an Axel in a car.
I'm going to name my kid Diamante.
Yeah, that's good too.
Badass girls' names.
Angelina.
That's... Doesn't sound that badass to me.
No offence to Angelina. No, no offence to Angelina.
Not saying that it's not a nice name.
Well, she's badass, so maybe that's why it's badass.
Angelina Jolie.
Oh, right.
Lilith.
Lilith?
What is that?
Blair.
Lola.
Ruby.
Aiden.
And Luna, again.
Wait, is Aiden a girl's name? Can be. Yeah, it can be a girl's name. Oh, yeah, that's kind of badass. Is it a girl's name? Aiden, and Luna again. Wait, is Aiden a girl's name?
Can be.
Yeah, it can be a girl's name.
Oh, yeah, that's kind of badass.
Is it a girl?
Aiden.
I've never met a girl Aiden.
Anyway, it's a minefield out there, everybody.
And you will second guess any name that you choose.
So just draw it out of a hat.
It's fine.
Okay, what is it?
What is it?
The one thing that a new study has revealed
makes men less attractive to single women.
You said you have it.
I have it.
Tiny nipples.
No.
Little areolas.
Do my tiny nipples make me less attractive?
It doesn't matter.
I'm married.
I mean, I don't look at them and go, yeah.
If it does, I overcame them.
Yeah, you did.
No, it's not tiny nipples.
Well, it might be, but not in this study.
Okay, a study which has been done by Boys State University in Idaho
presented around 1,400 women with photographs of two men.
Okay.
Okay?
That's a pretty comprehensive study, 1,400 women.
That's a big, yeah, lot of women.
Both the men were in their early 20s.
Okay.
And the men changed from woman to woman,
so it wasn't down to the particular guy.
Okay?
Right.
So they rotated it,
but each woman was presented with a photo of a man in his early 20s,
just a man,
and a man in his early 20s who was holding a cat.
Right.
Now, the researchers
assumed that the cat would
make the men look trustworthy,
gentle, and caring,
and therefore more dateable.
Okay. Oh, how wrong
they were. However, the
men shown with cats
were far less likely to arouse
romantic interest because
the women surveyed saw the men as less masculine,
more neurotic.
Pussies.
And less dateable.
Yeah, maybe.
Because, I mean, which is so judgmental of people.
Isn't it?
But that's what they've asked them to do.
They've asked them to judge these.
Oh, man.
You've got to.
I've got to furble. I've got to furble.
You've got to furble.
They're asking these women to judge the men just based on...
That's what they want them to do.
Yeah, based on...
Like, on face value, are you attracted to these guys?
So, I mean...
Interesting.
I am a man who has two cats, but...
You got those cats when...
But I got the cats after I got a partner.
Into a relationship.
Yeah.
You never...
Were you a single guy with a cat?
I had a cat.
You did for a little bit, didn't you?
I had a cat while I was single.
Is that why you got rid of it?
No, no.
Maybe you said you took it to the SPCA.
No, excuse me, I did not.
No, that cat was purchased for me by my girlfriend at the time.
She got me a cat.
Oh, so right, she was trying to make.
Make me less attractive because I'm already too attractive.
Oh, my God, it all comes out.
Anyway, I've got a panel of women here.
And actually, you can be on the panel.
You're a woman.
Okay.
So you can go first.
Men with cats.
Hot or not?
I'd rather a man with a dog.
I know.
And the study revealed that too.
It said cat owners were perceived as introverts
and dog owners were seen as sociable
and outdoorsy. But that's not because
I think a man with a cat's
unattractive. I just like dogs more.
Okay, I can't have too much
variation in this test. I just need to know. Men with
cats, hot or not? I'm going to say
not. Thank you for your
honesty. But Bea is here.
Hi Bea. Hi Bea. Hi. Men with
cats, hot or not? Not.
I love how
straightforward Bea was. Why?
Why?
Because
I think one savage is enough, don't you?
You know? One savage is enough.
Cats are assholes. You want to be the
only feisty one in the relationship, is that what you're saying?
Absolutely. Okay, Bea, thank you for your honesty.
We appreciate it. Louisa, you're saying? Okay, Bea, thank you for your honesty. We appreciate it.
Louisa, hi.
Men with cats, hot or not?
I think it's hot.
There you go.
What do you like about a man with a cat?
Well, I feel like they might be a little bit more sensitive and caring and a little bit cuddly.
I don't mind that.
I am all of those things.
Cats also can be
quite aggressive, can't they?
Yeah, they can.
You know, it's a little bit feisty.
But you want to know that your man can handle a little bit of feist.
Yeah, well, okay.
Yeah, I see that.
Okay, let's go to Regan.
Hey, Regan.
Hi.
Hi.
Mean with cats, hot or not?
I'm going to say not.
And why is that, Regan?
You'd rather a dog.
Yeah, yeah. Cats are a little rather a dog. Yeah, yeah.
Cats are a little bit unpredictable too.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I do agree.
Cats are completely unpredictable, but it's not his fault.
That's fine.
That's your opinion.
And maybe it rubs off onto him.
It makes him look unpredictable.
Three votes not hot.
One vote hot.
It's not looking good for us cat men out here.
Shannon, hi.
Hi, Shannon.
Hi.
Men with cats hot or not?
I got to say not. And, hi. Hi, Shannon. Hi. Men with cats hot or not? I've got to say not.
And what's your reason, Shannon?
I mean, I'd rather the attention be on me
not the cat. Oh, you're jealous of
the cat? Yeah, I don't want
to fight for it. My brother has a cat
and he gives that cat
so much attention so I can
see what you're saying, Shannon. Right, I never
thought about it from that perspective.
It's a done deal, but let's go to Vicky anyway.
Vicky, men with cats, hot or not?
Hell no.
And they'll do it, Vicky.
No, Vicky, tell us what you really think, though.
Thank you.
We appreciate your honesty, everybody.
That was a fascinating poll in which men with cats.
It's a hard truth to swallow, isn't it?
Right?
I'm pretty excited about this.
I know you are, and I have got no idea what's going on,
and I'm very nervous.
It's a surprise for you, but I needed to bring this to the table
because over in Aussie, this is making headlines.
It's from an Australian brewery,
and they've created a certain type of beer
over the lockdown period.
Okay.
They're calling it the pizza beer.
I've heard about this.
Have you heard about it?
Excess dough because there weren't any takeaways being ordered?
Yeah, that's right.
So they were like, what can we do with this?
Can we try something else?
Can we make something?
Anyway, the head chef created this beer where they've named it the pizza beer
because it's classic Italian-inspired lager with a slight sweetness
and earthy, spicy note to the beer is very noticeable.
So what do they do?
Use the dough to what?
I don't know.
I don't know what's in beer.
Hops.
Hops and wheat.
Barley.
Yeast.
Yeast.
Is yeast in beer?
Yeast is a key ingredient.
Anyway, this is exciting because I actually have a few contacts back in Aussie.
This is bull crap.
You've made your own dodgy Italian beer.
No.
Yes, you have.
No.
I have emailed a few people and this has been two weeks in the making,
but yesterday the beer, the pizza beer, has finally arrived.
Oh, yippee.
And let me guess, I'm going to be the first to try it?
I'm going to let you selflessly have the first sip.
So, Producer Ben, if you could-
I don't want the first sip.
I want to offer you the first sip. No, Producer Ben, if you could... I don't want the first sip. I want to offer you the first sip.
No, well, there's only one.
So, I want you, because you're the beer connoisseur on the show.
Am I?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, if you want to put your blindfold on,
because I want you to really feel the experience,
and they say to taste with your taste buds first.
I don't know why I'm volunteering to put the blindfold on.
All right.
But the blindfold is on.
So this is the pizza beer official taste test, Clint.
Why do I need a blindfold?
Because that's how you're meant to do a taste test.
Okay.
Because you're tasting with your taste buds.
Put the beer in my hand.
I'm standing near a very expensive radio console.
Yeah, so just...
I'm not going to reach out.
Put it in my hand.
Just be careful.
There you go.
Okay, there we go. Sorry, I'm getting stressed. He's angry. He's angry. All right, so when you're'm not going to reach out. Put it in my hand. Just be careful. There you go. Okay, there we go.
Sorry, I'm getting stressed.
He's angry.
He's angry.
All right, so when you're ready,
if you want to take a sip and then give us...
Can I sniff it first?
No, because I want you to use your taste buds first.
That means I'm about to sip a cup of dog wheeze.
No, I think it's going to be good.
I can actually smell beer.
Okay?
I can actually smell some beer.
Well, I'm telling you, it's from Australia.
It is the official pizza beer.
Australia, the home of Italian stuff.
All right, when you're ready.
Bon appetit.
Bon appetitio.
Okay, away you go.
Oh, it's yum.
Is it good?
Yeah, it tastes like beer.
Have another sip.
Why are you laughing?
Have another sip.
I want to see if you can taste the pizza. I can just like beer. Why are you laughing? Have another sip. I want to see if you can taste the pizza.
I can just taste beer.
No pizza.
No pizza.
What is it?
What is it?
It's a slice of cheese pizza that's soaked in a can of beer.
What?
I poured a beer over some pizza.
You poured a beer over some pizza and what, just drained it into this cup?
And then I like dipped the pizza like a tea bag.
Is that it?
Yeah.
It's not bad.
Pizza beer.
It's fine.
I guess it's maybe a little bit tomato-y.
It doesn't have any pizza notes in it.
Mate, this is a low-level prank from you.
This is like, I expected better.
I thought you, because you said it was a bit spicy,
I thought this was going to be the spiciest thing.
You put like chili in it or something like that.
You think it's a low-level prank?
We took a video of me making it,
and I'm telling you it's not that low-level.
Well, what did you do to it?
Ah, bellissima.
What did you do to it? What have Iissima. What did you do to it?
What have I just drunk?
It's fine.
It's all sanitary.
Why are there black chunks in it?
I'm telling you, a piece of real pizza was in there.
Right.
He's not impressed.
We need to take it up a notch, guys.
All right.
I knew this wasn't going to work.
It's just if you don't have the video, I can't see the video.
Like I just.
That's very true.
You should have shown me the.
It's all right.
It's all right, mate.
You're still learning.
I did have that thought.
I did.
Bree and Clint.
Got some relationship advice for you, everybody.
Because that's the sort of thing I do.
You know, I'm here
in a successful relationship. You're the
relationship guy. Yeah I'm making it work
and I want to share my
relationship success with everybody
else. Okay. However I don't do this
thing and I wouldn't do it so
take it with a pinch of salt.
This is a story
from a relationship expert
Okay. Not me. Another one. Who suggests Not a self-pro a relationship expert. Okay. Not me.
Another one.
Who suggests there is...
Not a self-proclaimed one.
No.
No, someone else gave her the title.
A legit one.
This person suggests there is a very simple bed hack you can use
to make your relationship more harmonious.
Okay.
It means that you will have less friction in your relationship,
less points of conflict, and it's very easy.
The thing that you need to do to achieve relationship nirvana is
separate duvets.
I thought you were going to say sleep naked.
No.
No, no, no, no.
Less friction.
Well, that's fine too if you're comfortable, but you and I have both talked about this. Neither of us to say sleep naked. No. No, no, no, no. Less friction. Well, that's fine too.
If you're comfortable.
But you and I have both talked about this.
Neither of us are nude sleepers.
Yeah, not when we sleep in a bed together.
No, especially not when we sleep in a bed together.
But in general, we're not. No, we aren't.
You and I both aren't.
We need to be contained.
Yeah.
Anyway, they're saying that if you get your own.
So say you guys have a double bed or even a queen.
Okay.
Or even a California king.
Yeah.
Why is it a California king?
Because it's, I think because.
Is it made in California?
Made in California.
I think the people in California were like, not big enough.
Make it bigger.
We want bigger.
We want bigger.
They're saying you both get a single duvet.
Oh, I don't know about that.
So that way there's not too much duvet for the bed.
There's no overlap.
You have your duvet.
They have their duvet.
Someone's not pulling all the duvet.
And someone's not pulling it off.
You're less disturbed by the other person when they're flopping about in their sleep.
But I mean, just because it's been suggested doesn't mean it's right.
I reckon we debate the pros and cons.
Okay.
Okay.
So pros of having your own duvet, you can't be Dutch ovened.
Oh. Can you? That would be't be Dutch ovened. Oh.
Can you?
That would be very good in my relationship.
Yeah.
Con, you can't Dutch oven.
I don't like that one.
You can't do it.
You can't be Dutch ovened, but you can't do it.
It is a bit of fun every now and then.
You're just like, you know, silent.
Pro.
Lock out.
Pro.
Pro.
If you're a hot sleeper, you can have a summer weight duvet.
Oh, yeah, because you can pick what you want.
You can have whatever you want.
Con, your partner might choose a Paw Patrol duvet for their side.
Pro, you can have a Paw Patrol duvet.
If you want to.
Con, it makes things a bit less romantic.
Yeah.
It's kind of like you're doing your own thing.
You're one step away from having sleeping bags, you know?
Imagine that.
No, you know what could be worse?
Getting two single beds but putting it kind of near each other.
Near enough that you can hold hands.
Yeah.
Imagine that.
You've got your own sleeping bags and you're in the same bed.
And you know when the other person wants to get frisky
because you just hear the zip?
And you're like, not tonight, tonight gareth put it back up you've got a cable tie then you you you you cable tie your zip done up when you don't want any attention in there like a butterfly caterpillar
pull his drawstring at the top yeah you're like there, Gareth. Pro, you only have to make your side of the bed. Oh, that's good.
That is good, isn't it?
Yeah, and that's all I got.
So on the weight of that, on some gone through the pros and cons,
I said I don't want to do it.
You know what is a con as well?
Can you imagine if you've got friends over and they walk in
and you've got two single duvets?
Yeah.
What are your friends doing in your bedroom?
I don't know.
I'd like to share one of my beliefs with you.
What's one of your beliefs?
It's the belief that if you ever lose a piece of jewellery,
don't worry because it will come back.
Okay.
I thought you were going to say if it's yellow, let it mellow.
No.
No.
Also one of your beliefs.
I mean, that's a good line to share at the moment,
especially in Auckland during the water crisis.
Water restrictions.
But yeah.
But I wouldn't say it's one of mine.
Have you ever lost a piece of jewellery?
Aha, yes.
Have you?
I lost my wedding ring.
Did you?
Recently.
And this is not a fact that I've stated publicly
because this wedding ring was given to me by my dad.
It's my dad's wedding ring.
Is that your...
I think I knew that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did know that.
He gave it to me.
He's still alive and they're still married.
But he wasn't wearing it.
And I said, I love your ring.
And he goes on.
He goes, here's my chance to get rid of this thing.
He's like, you can have it.
Then I don't have to wear it.
Anyway, I lost it.
But I said to myself, Clint, lean on your belief system.
It will come back.
And what I did is I just chilled out about it.
Didn't make a big deal.
Definitely didn't tell my parents. But I did tell Lucy, my wife. And what I did is I just chilled out about it. Didn't make a big deal. Definitely
didn't tell my parents, but I did tell Lucy, my wife. And what do you know? Two weeks later,
my wedding ring appears in the washing machine and I just left it in my pants.
That's so lucky. Why had you taken it off?
I was probably doing some like DIY or something or like probably grinding some metal or something.
I've never seen you do DIY or grinding.
I don't know why I took it off.
I think it doesn't fit.
I think it slipped off.
So anyway, let me table, if you don't believe me,
let me table this magical story of a man called Craig
from the Hibiscus Coast who on June 25 went surfing
at Oriwa Beach, north of Auckland,
and he lost his wedding ring.
Came off in the surf.
And in that situation,
someone without a belief system like mine,
well, that's what you would believe,
oh ye of little faith.
It's in a beach.
You would think that, right?
You're never going to get that back.
Anyway, he finished his surf, went home,
realised the ring was gone,
and didn't panic.
He said to his wife,
he didn't panic, he didn't panic. He said to his wife. Oh, BS. He didn't panic.
He didn't panic.
BS.
He said to his wife, my ring's come off in the surf.
And she goes, that's okay.
It'll come back.
But she wanted to speed the process up.
So she put a picture of Craig's wedding ring on the Hibiscus Coast Facebook page.
Oh, I love a community page.
And the ring is quite unique.
It's got a kuru pattern around the outside of it.
It's gold with a silver inset, and it's got a kuru design inside it.
So you would know if it was the ring.
Yeah.
What do you know?
The ring has been returned to Craig in less than a month.
Wow.
It surfaced on the beach.
Someone found it.
It's on the Facebook page.
It came back.
Sounds like a Disney movie.
Right.
And you know what?
He had faith.
He believed it would come back.
Yeah, because is that why it came back?
Do you know why he had faith?
Why?
Because it wasn't the first time he's lost this ring.
God, Craig.
He lost, Craig lost his wedding ring for 11 years.
Well, that's not losing it.
If I lost my wedding ring for 11 years, I wouldn't panic.
I wouldn't panic.
I'd have faith and I would know that my wedding ring was going to come back
because that's what it does. I said at the start of this break and I would know that my wedding ring was going to come back because that's what it does.
I said at the start of this break and I continue to believe,
if you lose jewellery, don't panic because it will come back.
God, you talk some BSA.

Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
Our epic movie guessing game where Brie is currently four games undefeated,
looking to make it five.
You're actually looking to make it 20, aren't you?
Yeah, I want to get to 1,000.
$1,000 of free mobile fuel.
That's my goal for the year.
God, that's a lot of gas.
It is a lot of gas, but you know me.
All you have to do is know your movie plots faster and better than Bree does.
And the person who thinks they're up to the job today is Steph.
Hi, Steph.
Hi, Steph.
Hi. Have you played before, Steph. Hi, Steph. Hi.
Have you played before, Steph, in the car?
No.
Oh, have you ever heard it before?
No, I just ran.
Oh, Steph.
I was like, I'm trying to get through.
Welcome.
Steph, it's okay.
Look, you'll be the envy of people who try and play this every week,
but I can hear doubt in your voice, and I want you to turn that around.
I want you to say to me,
I am Steph and I am great.
I am Steph and I am great.
And I want Breeze Gas.
I definitely want Breeze Gas.
Okay, here we go.
I'm going to start reading out plot lines to movies

when you think you know what it is.
Steph, I need to explain the rules carefully
because you've got no idea how the game works.
Make sure she knows. Don't wait for me to finish the movie plot if you think you know what it is. Steph, I need to explain the rules carefully because you've got no idea how the game works.
Make sure she knows.
Don't wait for me to finish the movie plot
if you think you know what it is, okay?
Because Bree won't wait.
Yeah.
Your buzzer is your name.
Today, the theme,
all movies that made over $1 billion at the box office.
Okay.
Okay?
Here we go.
Movie number one.
Evolved from a single-celled
organism at the dawn
of time, these creatures
live
to serve, but find
themselves working. Brie.
Brie.
Jurassic Park?
Jurassic Park is incorrect.
Steph, would you like a free guess?
I have no idea.
Can you finish the sentence?
I can continue.
No.
No, I'll continue.
Right.
Steph, you'll be forfeiting your free guess, okay?
I'm just checking.
Guys, I need to get to 1,000.
Okay, she's forfeiting her free guess.
Yes.
You don't want to have a swing in the dark, Steph?
No clue, sorry.
No, okay, cool.
That's all right, we'll keep going.
They find themselves working for a continual series of unsuccessful masters without a-
Yes, Steph!
Steph, Steph.
Despicable Me.
Despicable Me is incorrect.
Oh.
But it's so close.
Are we sure that's not the title of the movie, Ben? You're sure? Okay, cool. Do I get a guess now? You do get a guess, yeah. is incorrect. Oh. But it's so close.
Are we sure that's not the title of the movie, Ben?
You're sure?
Okay, cool.
Do I get a guess now?
You do get a guess, yeah.
Despicable Me 2.
No, it's not Despicable Me 2.
Okay.
Okay, I'll continue.
Without a master to grovel for,
the creatures fall into
a deep depression.
Bree.
Despicable Me 3.
No, it's not Despicable Me.
It's not the title of the movie.
This is a hard one, Ben.
It is, but you're so close.
I didn't...
I'm trusting Ben that he's got it right here.
Okay.
But it's in the series.
You're so close.
Oh, Brie!
Brie!
Minions!
Ah, Minions!
Yeah, I think it's Brie.
I was going to say Minions as well.
Minions.
No! I got that first.
I say we forfeit that whole one.
Okay, you can forfeit it.
Let's continue.
Okay, that one's off the table.
You guys weren't up to the challenge,
even though it grossed a billion dollars.
Never seen it.
Movie number two. Our main character suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so.
No, I'm Steph.
Steph.

Bree!
Bree.
The Joker.
That's correct.
That's the game, Steph.
Sorry, mate.
Oh, that's all good.
Sorry, Steph.
That was a bit of a messy one. I feel like
I don't know if I deserve it.
No, even if Steph had got the minions one, you still
would have won 2-1. Okay.
Oh, bummer. Bummer. You did
well, especially for someone who's never heard of the game
before. Call back again, Steph. We'd love to have you on again, okay?
Thanks. Bye.
300 bucks of mobile fuel up for grabs
and watch the plot next week.
I just want to get to a thousand. It's so far
away, honestly. It is so far.
Bree and Clint. So a superstar
Hollywood couple
have had intimate details of their
relationship aired, is what we're saying, right?
Yeah, I feel, I always,
I think this couple
has been in the media about this type
of thing for a long time. And people have
been fascinated? Yes.
And it's never really been confirmed, this detail, right?
I think they kind of have alluded.
Oh, okay.
Depending on what you're talking about,
but they have alluded to having, you know,
I would call it an unconventional
or what society sees an unconventional relationship.
Sure.
We're talking about Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith.
I love this couple, can I say?
Love Will Smith.
They are a power couple.
Yes.
And they have a strong family unit and they've got so much stuff going on.
And they have been like a big power couple for years.
Yeah.
And forever people have talked about the fact that, oh, did you know that Will Smith and
Jada Pinkett Smith have got an open relationship?
That's what's been in the media for a long time.
The new detail is that Jada Pinkett Smith
has been having a relationship with someone else.
Yes, a romantic relationship.
A romantic relationship.
And that Will knows about it and that's fine.
But the reason that they're able to do that is because Will
and Jada are no longer romantically involved with each other.
They're in what they're calling a life partnership.
Yeah.
So they've moved, they've obviously recognised
about their relationship, hey, we don't feel this way
about each other anymore, but we still obviously have these feelings.
So let's continue on with the relationship, but in a life partner.
What are these feelings?
What are the feelings you think they still have?
I'm saying romantic, physical kind of things.
And then they've kind of been like, okay, maybe we don't have that anymore.
That's the stuff that's gone?
Yeah.
That's what I'm assuming.
So what are the good things about their partnership
that they want to hold on to in their life partnership?
Obviously, there's amazing things that come in a relationship
that aren't physical.
Yeah.
You know, and maybe they have all of that stuff.
Like what, parenting?
They're a strong parenting team?
Maybe they're, yeah, good parents.
Maybe they're good support for each other.
They love each other.
They hang out.
They love each other's company.
Yeah.
They do everything else
But they just maybe not
Don't do that stuff anymore
They don't do the romantic stuff
Yeah
So you go and get that somewhere else
Yeah
And that's why they have
An open relationship
God you would have to be so mature
To be able to
Wouldn't you
To be able to separate those things
Yeah
And go love you
You're my person
For life
I want to stay with you
But I don't want to do that other stuff.
Can you go and do that with someone else?
And vice versa.
And Jada is, according to news articles.
She's getting that somewhere else.
Yeah, she's 52, I believe, and she's seeing a 21-year-old
and has been for a bit called August Alsina.
Interesting.
I think, you know, this type of thing is really hard for people to kind of
grasp because it's not normal. Well, that's what people say. But then I mean, it's not mainstream.
It's not mainstream. I think it's not mainstream in society of created, you know, this is what
it is to be normal, these things. But then obviously there's people who are living outside
those kind of norms, if you will say.
There's so many intricate details
though. There's so many different things
now. You can be polyamorous,
you can be in a thruple, you can be
in an open relationship. Say this relationship
specifically, like say Will
wants to do something with Jada,
but she's got a date with
August. Who gets
priority? I'd say probably Will.
Will does?
Yeah, because that's her life partner.
But I shouldn't be commenting because it's their relationship.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They'd have all that stuff worked out.
Hypothetically, could you do this?
Never.
No.
It's not for me, but I can understand it to some extent.
Why couldn't you do it?
I just think I need my relation.
I need all the things.
You need all the things.
Yeah.
I don't want to have to go to, you know,
I don't want to have to go to Countdown and New World.
I just want to have to go to one of them.
You want a one-stop shop.
Yeah, one-stop shop.
But I can see how it could work for other people, totally.
Yeah, I understand.
Yeah, what about you?
No, not for me.
No, which i already knew that
about you no i've got my hands full yeah you've got enough stuff going on but i really and that's
not to say that my partner is high maintenance that is to say that um uh there's not enough of
me to go around oh okay you think you're a hot commodity do do you? No, no, no, no. The opposite. I'm saying.
Oh, right, right.
I'm saying don't spread me too thin.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
I am interested, however, because obviously you and I, you know,
obviously we're in our relationships and whatever.
I am really interested to talk to people who might be having something
that is not considered, you know, the typical relationship.
Yep, yep. I really would. And like you said, you know, the typical relationship. Yep.
I really would.
And like you said, there's so many different versions of that.
There's so many different things.
Are you in a life partnership with your partner
but not a romantic partnership?
Yeah.
Are you guys, like you said, are you in a thruple?
Yeah, are you polyamorous?
Which is different to being polyamorous.
Polyamorous is where you are dating multiple people
but you're not all dating together, I'm pretty sure.
Possibly.
I think, but I mean, there might be...
We'd need someone to explain it to us.
Yeah, there might be a few different versions of that.
Okay, so what do we want?
We want people who are in unconventional relationships.
Yeah, things that are deemed unconventional relationships.
Yeah, we'd love to hear about how your relationship works.
Our phone number is 0800DARLSATM,
and you can text us on 9696.
You can remain anonymous if you'd like to.
Yeah, totally.
We're all open-minded here.
We've been talking about Will and Jada Smith,
Jada Pinkett Smith.
Yep.
They're in the news because Jada is having
a romantic relationship with someone who's not Will,
but it's chill because they are in a life partnership,
not a romantic partnership now.
Anymore.
Anymore.
So they used to be.
They used to be.
But they've decided they're now in a life partnership.
They're not doing that and now she is out there.
Go Jada.
Go Jada.
And it's what we're calling an unconventional
relationship situation, right?
Yeah, what is known as that.
But we wanted you guys to call.
Are you in one of these situations?
Yeah, it can be any variation of just outside your bread and butter relationship.
Yeah, cookie cutter relationships.
Oh, boring.
Two people, boring.
This person wants to remain anonymous, but we're glad you called us. Hello, Anonymous. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. How are you? Good, boring. Two people, boring. Give us something new. This person wants to remain anonymous, but we're glad you called us.
Hello, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hello.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
How are you?
I'm wonderful.
Is this for you?
Do you have, you know, something that's a bit unusual in your relationship?
Yes.
So I am in a, what, three years in my relationship now,
and we see other people.
We always have. We always have.
You always have.
You did that from the very start.
From the very start.
You didn't change it up to spice things up.
No, no, no.
No, we just, we're spicy as is.
Anonymous, can I ask,
has this been something that you've always done
in your relationships
or it only works in certain ones?
No, no, no, no.
Like, not at all.
Prior to this, I was in a long-term relationship
and then I just realised coming out of that,
meeting this person, I really like this person
and just didn't really want to give up the option
to see other people.
Yeah, right.
So whose idea was it?
It was mine.
My partner also has not been in an open relationship before.
Yeah.
And, of course, you know, like, you've just got to get your, like,
base, the ground rules sorted before you sort of leave.
Yeah, right.
But they were kind of keen.
You were like, do you want the whole buffet?
And they were like, yep, keen.
Yeah, I don't.
Did they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely. The cliche is if it's a man, I don't, did they? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
The cliche is if it's a man, they don't take much convincing, right?
No, I suppose that, yeah, they don't.
Well, actually, no.
Like, my partner was actually, of course, he was, he's a very logical person,
so he's just like, well, how would this work?
And, you know, like, but he was definitely receptive and open to it.
Yeah.
And he was actually happy to be in a monogamous relationship.
Right.
So he was the one that took a little bit more convincing.
That's fascinating, Anonymous.
Thank you very much for the perspective.
We like it.
Thank you.
Someone else has texted through and they said,
this isn't me, but my cousin is in a life partnership,
kind of like Will and Jada,
and they don't do romantic stuff with each other,
so much so that she had a baby with someone else
and the baby is living with both of them,
but not the father of the baby.
That is fascinating.
The family has accepted this, but it's not personally for me.
Interesting.
Wow.
So they go, we are a couple.
Yeah, and we're going to do life together.
And they don't even want to artificially impregnate each other.
No.
Wow.
Quite fascinating, isn't it?
And Steph is here.
Hi, Steph.
Hi, Steph.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, how are you?
Good, thank you.
Let us have it.
What's the go with you?
So I am a polyamorous pansexual.
I was in a relationship with my ex-husband and another guy.
Okay.
Yeah, it sadly ended, but, you know, that's all fine.
Did it end with both, Steph?
At first, one, and then the other one because I decided I had some,
like I found someone else that gave me the whole shebang, you know, one shop stop type thing.
Oh, right.
Okay.
So you went from being polyamorous to being monogamous.
Is that right?
Kind of.
Like I still get feelings for other people when we talk about it.
It's all about, you know, communication.
That's the big thing.
Yeah.
And the partner I have has, like we've sat down and we've talked about it.
There's ground rules if that happens.
And if it happens, the first thing I do is go to them and talk to them.
And what do they think about the whole thing, Steph?
Because have they had that kind of relationships like before or no?
Not really.
Always been a free spirit.
Yeah, he is.
I imagine it's important to be a free spirit in these relationships.
Yeah, it is. And he's very open-minded. You can't be jealous, eh? I imagine it's important to be a free spirit in these relationships.
Yeah, it is.
And he's very open-minded.
You can't be jealous, eh?
You can't have any sort of jealousy about your relationship whatsoever?
Is that fair to say?
Polyamorous people are definitely not.
You can have jealousy, but you've got to be able to process it and talk about it.
Yeah, fascinating.
Wow.
All right.
Well, congratulations on being able to live your true life, Steph.
It's empowering. Is it difficult sometimes, Steph, can I ask, to be living something that's, you know, not considered the social norm?
It can be. Walking in the mall, holding hands with both of them.
Oh, I didn't think about it like that.
Yeah, I'm sure you get quite a lot of judgment.
Yeah. But I have a very good, like, queer family,
and both my parents are very okay with it.
His parents don't know about it, though.
Yeah, right.
Well, good for you.
Well, great to hear you've got a great support system around you.
Thank you so much for calling.
No problem.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
You too, mate.
Bye.
That is so interesting.
So interesting.

Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I know how much Brie loves Ellie Goulding,
and I think that she will not be able to not vote for that song.
This is the only song of hers I don't like.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Was it the Fifty Shades song?
It was, yeah.
And it got so overplayed on the radio.
Nige, do you like Ellie Goulding?
Oh, I'm not that big of a fan.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
What about...
Oh, oh, starry eyes.
What's your vote for, Nigel?

She was so young when this song came out.
Have you watched the music video?
I have.
You know I lined up for 12 hours to get in the front line
at an Ellie Goulding concert one time?
I know you did and that's why I thought you were definitely
going to vote for Love Me Like You Do.
Yeah, that song just got so overplayed.
And you know what?
I was with one of my mates, and she fell ill at the concert,
and I left her.
So you could stay at the Ellie Golden concert?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You didn't help your friends.
I waited 12 hours in the sun.
She told me I could.
Did she get sunstroke?
Yeah, I think so.
And she was like, I need to go home.
And I was like, do you want me to come with you?
I'm happy to come.
She goes, no.
It would have been in the tone of your voice.
You weren't happy to come.
No, not at all.
Do you want me to come?
I think I could.
I would have hated her forever.
Yesterday on the show, around this time,
we asked you guys listening
If you were holding on to big secrets
Yeah
Or maybe you've let go of the secret
But you've held on to big secrets in the past
Yeah, you had one
Maybe someone told it to you
And you had to keep it
So it wasn't yours
But it was someone else's
But it was
Or maybe it was your secret
Maybe you did something bad
Some of the calls that came through
Were crazy And we appreciate you guys Maybe it was your secret. Maybe you did something bad. Some of the calls that came through were crazy.
And we appreciate you guys opening up and sharing them,
even though people remained anonymous, which is fine.
There were so many text messages of people sharing their secrets with us
that we didn't get to them.
So we thought today we would share with you guys some of the ones we didn't get to.
Yeah.
These are real texts from ZM listeners.
Yes.
About the biggest secrets they've ever held on to.
Should we start?
Should we start going through some?
Okay, we've done a few.
Let's kick into the first one.
My ex lied about having cancer.
He said he had it and I know he didn't.
Nobody else knows.
Everyone just thinks he's in remission.
I think he just liked the attention.
And he's your ex now, so you could
out him for it. Do you reckon
that's why they broke up?
Probably. Well, no, who knows?
But it'd be a big part of it. If you knew they were
lying about cancer, because then it
forces you to lie to other people.
I don't know if I could do it. Yeah, that's horrible.
Okay, let's do another one.
My secret is that I am married with a child
but the person
who I am married to
isn't the dad
and he thinks he is.
That's the reason
why we got married.
Oh, no.
That one makes me upset.
Yeah.
That one.
See, well, we don't...
I don't want to judge
because we appreciate
you sharing your secrets.
And we also don't know
the situation.
This is true.
You know,
there could be, you know,
big factors into why they've had to keep that secret.
But as a father myself.
It's rough.
Like if I had that connection with the kid,
I would think it was my kid.
And it would rip your guts out when you find out eventually. Yeah, but I mean, you still will have that connection.
Okay, let's do another one.
In my group of friends, I know three out of seven friends are having affairs.
And all three have asked me not to tell the others.
Let's just say it makes it very awkward for me
when we get together with their partners, husbands, and wives.
Whoa, three out of seven of your friends are having affairs.
Where did they all meet?
Affairs Anonymous?
Also, once it tips over four,
it's time to start looking at your friend group and going,
what is it about us that makes us cheat on our partners?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Okay, another one.
I moved overseas for a year for work,
then moved back to New Zealand in February this year.
To this day, my family have no idea that I met a wonderful man,
fell in love and eloped.
They think I'm single and would disown me
if I got married without them.
Amazing. Oh, see, that's kind of a nice
one, but then also hard because obviously
there's a reason that she hasn't
told them. There'll be a reason why she
couldn't tell them. Yeah. And again, we don't
know what that is, but I like that you've done
something for yourself. Yeah. I kind of
like the idea of eloping. Yeah? Yeah. No, you don't know what that is but i like that you've done something for yourself yeah i kind of like the the idea of eloping yeah yeah no you don't i kind of do you could not do that to your mother
yeah that's so true or your dad can and when you elope yeah can you have like one or two people
there yeah you can like with your parents people right yeah yeah just checking yeah you could take
them yeah you could take them yeah yeah okay another, okay. Another one. On my stag party, I had sex with my bridesmaid.
Oh!
Nah, I don't need to know the situation.
Why was your bridesmaid at your stag do?
For that.
Oh.
I was about to say, oh, maybe that was the bride.
But no, brides don't have stag do's, they have hen's do's.
Maybe he invited her, like, after or invited her to the party.
And you had to stand at the altar and you would be looking at your bride and then just
off from your bride if you moved your eyeliner as the person that you cheated on your bride
with.
Oh, the whole wedding is tainted.
The whole marriage is tainted, but that whole day is tainted.
That one makes me feel sick.
If we get too judgmental, people won't share their secrets anymore.
No, I'm just saying it makes me feel sick
to even think about being in a situation like that.
No, me too.
But every secret we've played, I've gone,
oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, you're sick.
No.
And we've got one more.
Okay, one more.
Okay, this is the last.
These are secrets that you guys text us yesterday
and we didn't get to read it on the show.
And if we haven't scared you off,
if you would like to text
more secrets,
you can on 9696.
Oh yeah,
I'd love to do this again.
Yeah,
we'll do it again.
Text your secrets.
I'll get less judgmental
as time goes on.
I was going to say,
we'll work through it.
Here's our last secret
for today though.
Currently sleeping with my boss
who is married
but in an open relationship.
He has kids
and is three times my age.
My work colleagues
have no idea about it either.
I say, you know...
There's a lot of lines blurred there.
Your boss is taking advantage
of an employee. But he's, so he's
in an open relationship. So he's clear?
So his conscience is
clear in that way. Yeah. But then...
He's told you
he's in an open relationship. Well, true.
But then he shouldn't.
It's a bit unprofessional, isn't it?
Yeah.
Very unprofessional.
Oh, nah, nah.
I think it's fine.
This is me getting less judgmental.
Nah, it's cool.
I like it.
Yeah, I totally believe you.
I like it.
I like the bridesmaid one too.
That was chill.
Juicy secrets.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, if you want to send your secrets in, we might do this again.
9696, tell us your biggest secrets that you've got.
We will always keep the information anonymous.
Absolutely.
We just appreciate you sharing.
Because it's juicy as hell and we like gossiping.
And our lives are boring.
Free and Clint.
You're ready for a bit of a wild story.
Oh, okay.
But this might turn you off if you weren't already turned off
from helping a friend move house.
Oh, right.
Because, I mean, that's one thing I like to avoid.
One of my best friends is moving house this weekend.
Pretend you're away.
No, I've offered.
No.
No?
No, because this is how a healthy friend...
No, no, this is how a healthy friendship works, I think.
Idiot.
You offer and then a good friend won't take you up on it.
That's very true.
And that's how you know if you've got a good friendship.
I offered and he goes, nah, man, we're okay.
And then because I'm a good friend, I said, are you sure?
And he goes, nah, we're cool.
And then we just won't bring it up.
I'll wait for a week and then I'll go, keep the housewarming.
You know he wanted to say yes.
I know.
So bad.
Anyway, this might make you feel better for being a bad friend.
Firefighters in Connecticut over in America
had to come to the rescue of a man
after he was helping his friend move house.
Okay.
So what happened was this guy's come over and he's given his friend a hand
and he's moving furniture around this house.
Anyway, he was moving, I think it was a cupboard,
and slowly he felt the floor moving and it was all wood floorboards
and they started to creak and crack.
Oh, yeah.
And he was like, what is going on?
And that's when he fell through the floor and he fell 20 feet into a well.
Oh, shit.
Oh, it's like, is that what happens on the ring?
Is that?
Does the girl crawl out of a well?
Maybe.
Anyway, I was kind of like, I need to know more because, like, why is there a well underneath the floor of a house?
Yeah, terrifying.
Anyway, so apparently the home that they were in was built in 1843.
Creepy enough.
Creepy, and was updated in the 1980s with an addition where they think they put a renovation on the side of the house where...
The well was?
So the well, they reckon, was outside, but they renovated over the top.
Yeah.
So they built like an add-on.
Because they didn't need the well anymore.
Yeah, because it was 1980.
The well had run dry.
Oh, yeah, it was 1980.
No, so this is the crazy thing is the well wasn't dry.
Oh, is that what broke his fall?
Yes.
Oh.
So he didn't have any major injuries
because he landed in a bunch
of water which he could not touch the
bottom. Oh, that is the most
terrifying thing. Is that not
the most scary thing? So first of all, you've got to
figure out where you are because your mind
wouldn't straight away go to, it's
fine, I'm in a well. Yeah. You would go,
I've fallen into the pit of hell
and now I'm in this dark mystery water. I've read this where people have hid bodies or something. That's what I would think. Yeah. You would go, I've fallen into the pit of hell and now I'm in this dark mystery water.
I've read this of like where people have hid bodies or something.
That's what I would think.
Yeah.
You know, you couldn't see anything.
Yeah.
At all.
Anyway, so they called the fire brigade and they came around
and they couldn't even see him.
No, he's 20 feet underground in a well.
It was so far down.
Oh.
Anyway, so they set up like a lift pulley and they harnessed
him out. A lift pulley? Yeah.
A lift pulley? Oh yeah.
With ropes? A lift pulley.
And they pull, yeah. Right, and he's fine?
And apparently he's fine.
God.
So there you go. Never, ever
offer to help a friend
move house.
Bree and Clint. Some punishing weather
going around the...
ZM, Bree and Clint, topic and breaking me.
Some wild weather going on around the country
at the moment. When I was in Haag last week
a heap of big trees got literally
snapped in half. Yeah, Coromandel's been
wild. Wellington's been smashed Coromandel's been wild.
Wellington's been smashed recently.
It's been freezing in parts of the country.
And an update from the Manawatu District Council on Facebook is attracting a lot of attention for all of the wrong reasons.
What did they do?
I'm going to read you the update first, and then you're going to see the update.
So they posted on Facebook yesterday,
MetService update heavy snow
warning. Snow is expected
to lower than 500 metres.
Expect 15 to 25 centimetres
of snow to accumulate
above 800 metres with lesser amounts
down to 500 metres. It's fine. It's a heavy
snow warning. Okay. Tick it off. That's good.
In fact, thank you for providing us that
the Manawatu District Council. Good to know.
They've included an image which shows you exactly where the snowfall is expected to impact.
And I'm going to show you, Bree, that image right now.
Oh, Jesus.
It's a big snow penis.
It is.
Well, I was hoping you could describe it in a more...
No, it's a part of the...
Okay, yeah, sure.
They've described it.
They've illustrated a snow penis.
Oh, it's landed in the wrong spot on the map.
Well, the map itself...
That's what we always say.
The map itself, the snowfall area, it isn't a shaft form.
And they've coloured the shaft...
Don't say that word. Okay, well, they've coloured the shaft. Don't say that word.
Okay, well, they've coloured the snow area pink.
Yeah, so it's...
