I've seen a bag of screaming goats.
Hello everybody and welcome to the Brilliant Clint Podcast.
G'day.
My, um, can I bring something up with you guys?
Yeah.
Has anyone ever had sciatica pain?
Yes.
Oh, I've been struggling over the last, like, week.
Yeah.
Do you know what it is?
What?
So there's, there's a...
It's a nerve that runs from, that runs from like the top of your...
Yeah, it runs all the way up your leg.
All the way down, yeah.
All the way up the back of your spine.
Yeah, it's bad.
And then if you're out of line, that nerve gets pinched.
Yeah, I've really got it bad on my right side.
You need to go for a clickety-clack.
You need to go for a bloody...
Do you believe in chiropractors?
Some people don't.
Yeah, I've been to chiropractors in the past, but I just get nervous because I had a really
horrific back injury in my past.
Yeah, right.
I get nervous about going to new ones.
So what are you doing?
Hot baths.
You know what's good?
Magnesium.
Magnesium's good for it.
Okay.
I'll take some magnesium.
Also, magnesium makes you sleep like a mother iffer.
Does it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you take magnesium supplements.
Yeah, especially if you don't usually take them.
Mate, I'll bring a couple of magnesium to you.
Take a couple.
I'll knock you out.
You're having such a great night.
Thanks, mate.
It's a good time.
Yeah, yeah.
We're crazy.
You know what else works for me for my sciatica pain?
What?
If I get my partner, she gets her elbow and she digs it right into my butt cheek.
You need one of those massage guns that the sports people are using.
Yeah, those are interesting.
The do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Yeah. those guns that the sports people are using yeah those are interesting yeah yeah i don't that would
be very confronting i think using one of those yeah it would on your butt cheek yeah but things
would fly everywhere like custard yeah you should or you should do it get the gun no we're not slow
mowing it i was gonna say get get it filmed in slow-mo. My Samsung can film in 8K, and we could slow-mo that down.
God, that's expensive.
8K, oh.
No, what's 8K?
Explain it to me.
So you know HD is?
Yes.
And then that's 1080.
Yeah.
And then 4K is four times HD.
Is it?
Yeah, and then 8K is four times.
Yeah.
Well, it's eight times HD. That's ridiculous. Yeah. Phones are crazy these days, eh? Yeah, and then 8K. Whoa! It's four times, well, it's eight times HD.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Phones are crazy these days, eh?
Yeah, I know.
Do you remember like 10 years ago when you thought a flip phone was cool?
I look at the photos that we used to post on Instagram from our iPhone 3GS.
Heavily filtered.
Heavily, heavily filtered.
We thought that people wanted the photo to look like it had been
set on fire and then a cup of tea had been spilled on it and that was the filter we thought what
about all those filters that were like big like four years ago from snapchat where it changed the
whole like shape of your eyes and stuff and everyone was like oh this looks good what was
before instagram and they brought out those filters what was the app that everybody got that did the filtering
for you
are you sure
it wasn't face app
no
no
and you could buy
lenses for your camera
it was like an app
that you bought
upgrades
yeah
what was that called
and people used to
Fletch was right into it
because he would take
his hiking photography
and I remember
he would
put like six filters
yeah he put like
six filters on it
and I'm like it looks so good six filters on it. Yeah, he'd put like six filters on it.
And I'm like, looks so good.
My mum, what does she say?
She always goes, whenever I take video of her, she goes,
oh, you better put the old paper across it.
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
And she wants like greasy paper to cover the lens so she looks better.
Is that a technique that people used to use?
I don't know.
That's what she's just come up with.
Actually, what does she call it? I can't remember now.
She says you better put the fogger on it.
Oh, the fogger.
Oh, that makes more sense.
Yeah, that's what she says.
We're running out of time.
Oh, yeah, we've got to go.
We've got to do something else.
Anything else anyone needs to bring up?
Anyone?
Producer Anastasia, you've been extremely quiet.
Oh, yes, sorry.
Sorry for being quiet. I believe the term that your
mum was trying to do is apparently
back in the day they used to rub Vaseline
on the lids. That's it!
And that's what made it. You know if you look through your
grandparents and probably your parents
wedding photos had that
real glowy foggy look on it

How cool.
I love that we're sending people around the country.
That's awesome.
Up next, I need people to call.
This is a bit of a social experiment.
If this sounds like you,
if you really love to give great gifts to people,
if you really love doing that.
Yeah, you pride yourself when someone's birthday or something comes around.
That you get them something.
It's thoughtful, it's considered, and you don't miss an occasion.
Maybe it's worth a lot of money, maybe it's not,
but if that sounds like you, I need you to call right now 0800-DIAL-ZM.
Yeah, we've got a question for you guys.
Social experiment.
We'll do it after the Jonas Brothers on ZM.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Last night in my flat
it was one of my flatmate Claudia's
birthdays, which
we all got her gifts and threw her
a nice party, so happy birthday to her.
And I was wrapping her
gift last night, last minute,
and we bought her a couple of t-shirts and as I was wrapping them up,
I automatically just went to take the price tag off
because that's what you do.
Yeah, that's customary.
Customary.
And then I thought, wait a minute, I wonder if there's anyone out there
that doesn't do that.
What, leaves the price tag on intentionally?
Yeah, leaves the price on.
I've always thought it would be nice to leave the price tag on
if you'd spent a lot of money. So that they know. Yeah, they leave the price on. I've always thought it would be nice to leave the price tag on if you'd spent a lot of money.
So that they know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And by nice, I mean nice for me, the person who spent all the money.
Yeah, right.
So you get all the praise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't want them to know.
I don't want them to think that.
Or is that obnoxious?
Definitely.
Well, obnoxious is a strong word.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't do it.
I've just thought that maybe that's the area I should move into.
Anyway, we thought we'd do a social experiment
where we wanted to see if people do do this,
and that's why we came up with this.
I'm going to leave the price on.
No, you came up with this.
No, that was...
I'm not on that.
No, that was our voices meshed together.
I'm not on that.
Anyway, we've got some people who have called up
who have said that they pride themselves
on getting really nice gifts for people, which is great.
And you want to know if they leave the price on.
Yes.
Now, here's the thing.
I know you're really excited about your new thing that you've made.
Yeah.
You only get to play that if they leave the price on.
Oh.
So, because that's what it says.
It says, I'm going to leave the price on.
Damn it.
Right?
I should have made one that says that they don't.
Five people.
Let's see how many times you're special
because this is the only time
that this thing's ever going to get used to.
Jasmine, hi.
Hi, Jazz.
Hi.
You're a good gifter.
Yes.
Do you leave the price on, Jazz?
I'm a half and half,
so if it's a cheap present,
I take the tag off,
but if it's expensive,
I leave it on just to rub it on their faces
like these
yes Jasmine
I don't believe that
you're a half and half
and you don't
you're smart
you take it off
when it's cheap
you leave it on
when it's expensive
you don't know
how excited she is
that you said
Vicky
hi Vicky
hi Vicky
hello
hi
you're a good gifter
as well right
I think I am
yeah nice
great and please tell me Vicky do you leave the price tag on I'm a bit like Jasmine Hello. Hi. You're a good gifter as well, right? I think I am. Yeah, nice. Great.
And please tell me, Vicky, do you leave the price tag on?
I'm a bit like Jasmine.
I'm half and half, but for different reasons.
Oh, what's your reasons?
My reason is usually I'll take it off if I know they definitely don't have that gift.
But I think if they've got it, I'll leave it on so that they can exchange it.
Oh, that's for convenience.
You know what?
It's enough.
We'll take it. It's enough. I'm going to leave the it on so that they can exchange it. Oh, that's for convenience. You know what? It's enough. We'll take it.
It's enough.
I'm going to leave the price on.
We're two from two.
You're two from two.
Janine, hi.
Hi, Janine.
Hi.
Do you leave the price on, Janine?
Unfortunately not.
That's okay, Janine.
Can't win them all.
Is it obnoxious to leave the price tag on?
Well, it's not obnoxious.
I just know that my friends would probably check out how much I paid for it anyway.
Yeah, right.
They'll just go and Google it.
Janine, can I ask, has there ever been once in your whole life that you've left the price tag on?
Yes, I have by accident.
I'm going to leave the price tag on. Yes, I have by accident.
I'm going to leave the price tag on.
Kylie, do you leave the price tag on?
No, I've never left it on.
Because my gifts have always just been ultimate.
Like, I've always gone over the top.
Yeah, right. Right.
But have you thought about leaving it on?
No, you can't.
I have.
Do you have?
No, we don't have a stink.
We don't have a stink.
Play the stink.
Play it, Bree.
Play it.
I will leave the price on.
Yes, Kylie.
Legend.
Can't we go five from five?
Come on, five from five.
At this stage, Sarah, you might as well just lie.
Just say yes, Sarah.
Sarah, when you buy someone a gift, do you leave the price tag on?
Um, no.
I'm going to ask you one more time, Sarah.
When you buy someone, yeah, this is not on air at the moment.
This isn't live or anything.
Sarah, just say yes.
When you buy someone a gift, do you leave the price tag on?
Yeah, sure.
I'm going to leave the price tag on.
That was worth every second.
That was a wildly successful segment, Brie.
Well done.
Thank you, mate.
I appreciate that.
I actually do want some credit for it now.
You do?
Yeah, I co-wrote that.
Jump on late like you did with the blues.
Mate, I bleed blue.
Brie and Clint.
You know what this show's missing, Brie?
What?
There's not much that's missing.
We've got that price tag gear.
Yeah, that was good.
Yeah, we've got a great attitude.
Yep.
Got free flights from Jetstar to give away all day.
Pretty good.
You know the one thing we're missing?
What?
Celebrity endorsements.
You know?
We lack them.
We did have Ice-T do that one for us one time
Yeah, and that put us in the position we're in now
Yeah, but we need to go next level
It's time to level up
Good news, Carole Baskin is now offering
Carole Baskin
Endorsements
I thought you were going to say something else
She's offering endorsements and contract killing
That's what I thought you were going to say
She's joined thements and contract killing.
She's joined the site Cameo, which if you don't know what Cameo is,
it's a website, it's also an app where you can pay for a shout out from a celebrity.
I've had ones from Carson Kressley done for our show.
Well, it was for our DJ duo.
Carson Kressley from the original Fab Five.
Yeah.
And he's on RuPaul's Drag Race. Yeah.
These days. Well, let's talk about Carole Baskin for a second because I think this show. So she's jumped on it.
Yeah, she's still cool. She's still
topical and I think we need a Carole
Baskin. Hey all you cool cats and kittens.
It's Carole at Big Cat Rescue. Don't get
excited. I haven't got one yet. Oh. Okay.
Because we need to make these financial decisions together.
She's blowing up. I want to know how much it is first. And she's charging big deal.
So on her first day on Cameo, Car Carol Baskin made $30,000.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe I need to get on there.
Oh, all right.
Buy a tiger and get on Cameo.
You need to get a viral Netflix hit first.
It can't be that hard, can it?
For a Carol Baskin shout out for 30 seconds,
and we could get her to say what we want.
We could go, hey, all you cool cats and kittens,
I'm listening to the best show in New Zealand.
No, I want her to sing the Carole Baskin song.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Maybe at the end.
I don't know exactly what you get for it,
but a 30-second shout-out from Carole Baskin on Cameo is $300.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't make 30 grand that quickly
by not charging the right amount.
That's pretty pricey.
Are you willing to pay 300 bucks for Carol Baskin?
In fact, maybe Carol's, maybe we're aiming too high.
We're in a recession.
Who else?
Times are tight.
Have they got Joe Exotic?
No, he's in prison.
I've got some other options.
Okay.
What about someone from Friends?
Oh, what if we got someone from Friends?
Oh, it's Gunther, isn't it?
No, Gunther's not available.
He's too high profile.
We can get Larry Hankin.
Larry Hankin was Mr. Heckles
who lived in the apartment
below Rachel and Monica
and he's only $40.
He's still alive?
He's still alive, yeah.
Really?
And he's on Cameo for $40.
I mean...
You're not excited.
That's fine.
No, is anyone else?
You love RuPaul's Drag Race. You love RuPaul's Drag Race.
I love RuPaul's Drag Race.
What if we got Anastasia, how do you say it?
Anastasia Anarquay.
Is that it?
Show me the name.
Anastasia.
Anastasia.
Someone from RuPaul's Drag Race.
35 bucks.
No, fine.
Okay, all right, fine.
What about Justin Timberlake?
What if we got Justin Timberlake? Justin Timberlake would be good. Because we can get what about Justin Timberlake what if we got Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake would be good
because we can get
the leading
Justin Timberlake impersonator
what's up Brooke
happy birthday girl
I heard that you are
having a baby girl
so congrats
I love being a father
and so I'm sure
you're gonna have
an awesome time
and embrace that moment I heard sure you're going to have an awesome time and embrace that moment.
I heard that you and your husband
Michael are huge fans
so thank you so much for the
support.
Why is he talking so slowly?
Because he's the world's leading
Justin Timberlake impersonator.
Cry me a river.
You don't need to say anything. You said yes with your eyes.
I'll book him.
Bree and Clint
from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest
live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, is Ellen dead?
No, Ellen is not dead. That is the
big question in Hollywood today because
the trending on Twitter was
RIP Ellen, the hashtag. So here, let me
just tell everyone in the background, she's not dead.
She's not even kind of dead.
Here's the deal, right?
So they said that her show was going to be cancelled.
So someone said R.I.P. Ellen.
They were referring to her show
because, you know, the ratings haven't been that great
and she's been getting slammed in the press.
You know, people saying that she's a bit of a monster
behind that awesome persona.
But today, that's when they took it one step further.
It's a dark joke.
It's definitely not funny.
But I can confirm she's not dead.
She's not even kind of dead.
R.I.P. Ellen was in reference to her show, not in reference to her life.
Right.
Okay.
I think people have obviously taken it that next level.
You know you're powerful, though, if R.I.P. Ellen can be trending
and they don't assume that it's anyone else called Ellen.
Like, she is so famous now.
She's gone full Madonna.
Yeah, she has been for a long time, I think. She's a one-name celebrity. She's gone full Madonna. Yeah, she has been for a long time.
She's a one-name celebrity.
She is the only Ellen.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, very dark joke in my opinion.
Well, it wasn't a joke, right?
It got out of hand.
They were RIPing her show.
No, I think then people were taking it down the dark joke route.
Yeah, right.
Watch the mood in Hollywood, Dean.
Do you think her show is going to survive
or do you think that she's gone,
like, popularity-wise,
she's gone over to the other side?
I think that her show will survive.
She's still very popular.
I know there's all these rumours
of her being a monster
and I've heard them
from all sorts of different people.
But she's really likeable to the public
and a lot of stars love her.
She's got some serious star power.
I don't think she's going anywhere
anytime soon.
I really don't.
Yeah, me neither.
Yeah, I don't think so either. Until there's some hard proof, right? think she's going anywhere anytime soon. I really don't. Yeah, me neither. Yeah, I don't think so either.
Until there's some hard proof, right?
And she's done something really bad.
Yeah, I need to see videos.
Like, you know, I need to see...
Where's the receipts?
I need the receipts.
I need to see receipts.
I need to see videos before I believe it all, I think.
That's our Hollywood correspondent live out of Los Angeles,
Dean McCarthy, confirming that no, Ellen DeGeneres is not dead.
Good news.
Thank God.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
I asked you a question just before and I said
picture this, say you went into a coma
today
for 20 years.
What would be the first
thing you would Google
when you woke up in 20 years time?
Is Dan Carter still playing for the Blues?
I'm going to say you don't need to Google that.
Why not?
Who would have thought the great man would be back
playing in New Zealand in 20...
He's 38.
Yeah, so he'd be...
58.
78.
58.
Oh, right.
He'd be old.
Yeah, but I wouldn't know that because I've been in a coma.
Yeah, but if someone said to you, the first thing they're going to say is,
welcome back.
Do I know how long I've been in a coma?
Yeah, so they go, you've been in a coma for 20 years.
Yeah, right.
Well, I've wasted my Google search then.
You've wasted yours.
What's yours?
What are you Googling?
I think there's a few things that I'd probably Google,
but I would probably Google, have we connected with aliens yet?
Yeah, right.
It's got to be soon.
It's got to be any day now.
The CIA confirmed that footage of UFOs this year.
That's right.
Did you see that?
Yeah.
They literally confirmed UFOs in our atmosphere,
and people were like, shh, we're busy.
COVID's happening.
COVID's happening.
Not now.
Any other time, that would be quite a big story, but not now.
The aliens feel so unwelcome.
They're like, oh, is it a bad time?
Sorry, guys, we'll come back later.
We'll come back.
We'll give it 20 years?
We'll come back.
There's some great texts on this and what you guys would Google.
There's some really good texts, yeah.
What about the one where someone said,
I'd Google New Zealand Warriors,
and if they hadn't won a premiership yet, I'd go back to sleep.
Yeah, right.
Look, I don't want to be a down buzz
but you might be setting up shop
in the hospital for a while. Oh no, I reckon they've got
it in the bag in the next 20.
This is a text. I'd Google myself as surely
I would have made the world news. Maybe some
Goss magazines and seen how much money
my family has made off selling the stories
about me. Then I'd claim all that money
back and have a big ass party.
They've got a big imagination and I like
that. Someone said they'd google
how much is chicken now?
Yeah, that's not a bad question.
I mean, smart. My brain
goes to all the boring stuff. How much is fuel now?
Well, someone else said I'd
like to see how much Auckland housing
prizes went up. Yeah, I don't think
you'd like to see it, but it'd be interesting.
Producer Ben, you're in a coma for
20 years. You wake up in 2040.
What's the first thing you're Googling? I had a question.
Do they tell you what year it is straight away?
Yeah, so they say it's 20 years. I was going to say I'll Google
what year it is. No, I had
just Googled buy
brand new car and just see what the
cars are that comes up straight into Google.
Oh, that's a good one.
I'm like, buy a brand new car.
Like a flying car?
Well, it could be.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I also wanted to Google
who are the top 10 richest people
in the world at the moment.
Okay, that's quite interesting.
Just see what companies
and see what's going on.
Oh, I got one.
What's Stormy Cruise net worth?
No, not Stormy Cruise.
What's her name?
Stormy Kardashian.
Yeah, Stormy Jenna.
Stormy Jenna. Oh, okay. I's her name? Stormy Kardashian. Yeah. Stormy Jenna. Stormy Jenna.
Okay, I'll Google what's Stormy's last name.
Oh, gear up.
This is a ripping story out of Queensland, Australia.
And it's one of those stories
that I feel like most
people would never believe.
Yeah. And I don't know if I'd believe it fully either.
Okay.
But let's go through it.
Let's break it down, what happened.
And it's about a tradie who was pretty much speeding down the motorway.
A police car caught him doing 123 in a 100 zone.
Yep.
And he's put the lights on and he's pulled him over.
The guy that he pulled over was a tradesman named Jimmy.
And Jimmy had a very, very elaborate explanation
as to why he was speeding.
Okay.
Should we take a listen?
This is actual police footage of when they pulled Jimmy,
the tradesman, over.
He was in the car with me.
Where did you come from?
I was coming from Billow.
You can feel my heart, mate.
You found a snake in your car?
It's in the back of the tray, mate.
Ah, that one.
Just confirming, you said you're off with a vehicle.
The driver's been bitten by a brown snake.
Was that correct?
Yeah, that's right.
He's got the snake in the tray.
He's pretty panicky.
He's conscious and breathing at the moment.
So I don't need QAS here immediately if we can.
I'd believe it.
So this is what he said.
Jimmy the tradesman said that the snake has obviously been on the bottom
of the car up in the, you know, the axle or whatever,
then has crawled through the gear stick hole in the ute into the cab of the ute
and then crawled
around his leg and then started
biting at his crutch area. This is
why I would believe it. I'll tell you why. Why?
As a born and bred New Zealander
who's never lived in Australia. You think that's what
happens? Yeah. I think that's what life in
Australia is like. I would be
terrified if I lived there to sit on a toilet
without shining a flashlight in it
to see if there was a snake in the bowl
or a tarantula under the rim.
I would be petrified to go into any form of long grass
just because snakes and spiders as well.
And that's just what I think that your country,
no offence, is like.
Oh, it is pretty horrible.
No, no, I didn't say horrible.
Terrifying.
No, it is.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
In terms of that stuff, it's horrible because you're literally just on edge
every time you go outside.
He's all right, this guy, right?
He was speeding to get to a hospital because he'd been bit by the snake.
Well, he thought he'd been bitten and they thought it was a brown snake
or an inland taipan, which are some of the worst snakes you can get.
They need to give the brown snake a scarier name.
Well, no, wait.
There's a brown snake and then there's also the large king brown.
Yeah, that's good.
The king brown's terrifying.
But if a brown snake is terrifying, call it the deadly wiggle boy or something.
Yeah, right.
I see what you're saying.
Give it, yeah.
Like the inland Taipan has a real ring to it.
Yeah, and then brown snake.
Yeah, brown snake.
Don't worry, it was just a brown snake.
It's dangerous, brown snake.
I see what you're saying.
Yeah, anyway, so he said he was speeding because this all happened
and then he was on his way to the hospital because he thought he'd been bit.
Yeah.
So the ambulance came.
Turns out he was just in, like, complete shock and he hadn't been bit.
And he was panicking.
And panicking.
Right.
Or do you think it was a complete ruse?
No, because the dead snake's in the back of the ute. I've seen the video too because the dead snake's in the back of the ute
I've seen the video too
The dead snake is in the back of the ute
Maybe he was like a hunter
And he killed it or something
Maybe he keeps a dead snake in the back of his ute
For that reason
For when he gets pulled over by cops
So he can get out of speeding tickets
I don't know
Pretty amazing story
But I'd love to talk to someone
Who has been bit by a snake today
Is there anyone listening who
Might be
Probably won't be here.
God, if we were in Australia.
Yeah, phones would be blowing up.
They'd be blowing off the wall.
So will we get someone?
I don't know.
But have you been bitten by a snake?
0800 dial ZM.
Will we take venomous or non-venomous?
Yeah, definitely.
I think we'll take both.
Yeah.
Call us now.
Have you been bitten by a snake?
You can also text us.
We'll mainly take both because I didn't know there was a difference.
What?
Bree and Clint.
Enough is enough.
I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday play.
Everybody strap in.
Man, I'm glad that was a censored version because I forgot to check it before I played it.
Yeah, you need to check these things.
Whoa, that gave me heart palpitations for a second, but we're good.
We're good and we're talking about snake bites.
We are.
There's a 23-year-old tradesman from Queensland, Australia,
who's making news today after he was pulled over doing 123 in a 100 zone
and he said the reason was is that a snake had crawled through up the gear shift
around his legs and was biting at his crotch. The snake was going for his... The snake was going that a snake had crawled through up the gear shift around his legs and was biting at his crotch.
The snake was going for his...
The snake was going for his snake.
Yeah.
His trouser.
He's trying to make a friend.
He goes, is that my cousin?
Sandra?
Sandra, is that you?
So we've asked, is anyone listening,
has anyone listening ever been bit by a snake?
Lily has called through.
Hi, Lily.
Hi.
Hello.
You've been bit by a snake?
Yes, I was about four years old walking out,
just out doing some adventures with some friends.
And I saw a snake and tried to pet it and it bit me.
Tried to pet a snake.
God, you're a daring four-year-old.
Where was this?
Yeah, what country were you in?
I was in America and it was what we call Gardner Snake,
so it wasn't a poisonous snake, but my brother was with me,
and he ran towards Dad, who was on the lawnmower,
saying, you know, Lily's going to die.
She's been bitten by a snake.
Well, you would think that.
When you're younger, wouldn't you?
You're either going to die,
or you're going to turn into a snake man, like Spider-Man.
Yeah.
And Dad came over with the shovel and sorted him out.
Oh, he killed the snake?
Yeah, he did kill the snake.
We're glad you're okay.
Good old Dad.
Why do snakes exist?
I know this is a bad question from an ecological perspective, but why do snakes...
Don't make me explain the Darwin theory to you again.
Okay, fair enough.
Gastra.
Hi, Gastra.
Hi.
G'day, mate.
Have you been bitten by a snake?
Both of you?
No, I didn't get bitten by a snake,
but I held a Taipan at the back of Townsville.
Why would you do that?
It was about an hour and a half out the back.
Yeah.
Taipan will kill you in three and a half minutes.
Yeah, I know.
It was pretty, pretty, yeah, pretty amazing.
I mean, I was holding it tight.
I thought I was holding it tight,
and then the thing started to crawl through my bloomin' hand, you know,
and I was like, another couple of inches,
and it's going to turn around and bite me.
And that's, you know, that's going to be...
Stray, Gastro.
Gastro, you're a true blue, aren't you?
Well, I grew up over there, mate.
I'm really a money-a-paw-toy, you know?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, right.
No, I like it.
I feel like I'm talking to my cousin.
So you...
Mate, it just gets better.
My ancestor was married to a blackbird or a slave trader,
taken to Aussie in 1880.
True story.
You are an interesting caller, Gesture.
Very interesting.
Mate, one night up north halfway between Townsville and Ingham,
we were going out to this dam.
We rolled over this blimmin' carpet python that was right over the road,
left to right, as far as you could see.
His entire body was over it.
His body was like my thigh.
Right?
We're in the back of the truck.
I jump out of the back of the truck.
I run back.
He's gone.
He's playing dead.
I grab him in the middle.
I'm running down the road to the bloody truck,
single cab, Blimmin' Hilux, with him draping over both of my hands,
dragging on the ground, and I'm laughing my ass off
because I'm going to jam him through the window of the driver's side door.
Well,
you're going to put
a snake through
the driver's side door
of your friend's year.
What were you trying
to break into a car
with a snake?
I was trying
to get it into the cab
and the bros
are sitting in this truck
winding the window up
laughing their arse off.
Gastro,
Gastro,
thank you.
Can you imagine that?
Yeah,
I can.
I can because you painted
such a vivid picture.
I can because you're
from Townsville so I can imagine.
Oh mate. Thank you Gash.
I went to school with Blim and Talis, Gordon Talis.
Oh I know Gordon.
I know his name's Talisha.
I'm going to leave this home and away reunion to
off air. And Gash, thank you for
bringing a bit of a sunshine to our afternoon mate.
You're a breath of fresh air.
I'm so glad I could share it.
I just realised I think there's only room for one Aussie at a time on the show.
That conversation needed subtitles.
I read a study the other day, Clint,
that was talking about whether or not money did make you happier.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yep.
And this study actually took into account the level of happiness
from 44,198 adults age 30 and over.
Okay.
Which is a lot of people.
It's massive.
So many people.
And the results did show.
I love the survey too.
It would have been, how old are you?
Great.
And how much money do you have? Great. And are you happy? And that would be it. That I love the survey too. It would have been, how old are you? Great. And how much money do you have?
Great.
And are you happy?
And that would be it.
That would be the whole survey.
And that's a study.
Yeah.
So this was a result from back in 2010.
And it pretty much posted that if a person passes an income of $75,000,
the correlation between money and happiness no longer becomes relevant.
Right.
So does that mean that $75,000 is the key to happiness?
That's what you want to make?
Yeah.
Is that what you have to get to?
Right.
That's fascinating.
So below 75, they would argue, because I imagine it like an intersecting graph.
Below 75, you're
struggling, you might not be that happy. This is generalising too. I'm sure there's a lot
of people who are perfectly happy with nothing. But 75...
This is just, yeah, the reports from this study also said that happiness kept going
up with more income, even at higher income levels.
Oh, right.
So it did keep going, but that was the level where it started to change.
Oh, okay.
I don't know how to interpret that at all then.
So you're saying that more – what is the study saying?
So the study is saying pretty much from 75 is where it starts to correlate
and then it goes up and up and up from there.
Right.
So the study is saying that money does make you happy.
That's what it's saying, yeah.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
What did you think it said?
I don't know.
I was hoping that the results were...
It wasn't a correlation.
After 75, it made no difference.
Right.
That's what I was hoping it was saying.
Like they've worked out that that's the amount you need to be,
I guess, comfortable or happy,
whatever word they're going to use for it.
And then after that, it's just fluff.
But no, it sounds like the report is saying,
then you go to 85,
you're quite happy again. And then you get
happier. Then you get 95 and you are
peaking your tits off. When you hit 100,
mate, it's like you're
spewing rainbows.
Do you think that's the case?
What? Like in life, do you think
money equals happiness?
No, not directly. No, but what do you
really think? No, that's what No, but what do you really think?
No, that's what I really think.
I don't think that if you've got problems,
if someone gave you a whole,
if you've got problems that are making you unhappy,
money isn't necessarily going to fix that.
It's not going to.
No, I agree.
Sure, you'll be.
It could take some of the stress away that might be making you unhappy.
Yes, and you might just continue to be unhappy,
but in a much nicer car.
Yeah, well, that's true.
Which might make you happy.
That's true.
But no, no.
Okay, this is what I want you to do.
There's been plenty of studies on really wealthy,
successful people and high-paying jobs
who are stressed to the core
and then they pull plug from that
and they're much happier
because they can refocus on things
that actually make them happy.
You know, they can spend more time with their kids.
Sure, they can't buy their kids the same stuff,
Gucci loafers and stuff they wanted before.
Oh, because every kid wants that.
The kids are miserable, but you as a father, you're more happy.
I want you to do this right now.
And everyone listening, sitting in their cars or wherever they are,
I want you to think about the richest person you know.
Yep.
Have you got them?
Yep.
Are they happy?
Yeah, I've watched the Instagram story.
They're pretty happy. Oh, damn it.
Kia ora, this is Toby Manhai. I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime, a podcast for the
spin-off podcast network all about politics
and politicians, with me, Annabel Lee
Mather and Ben Thomas, careering
wildly from the very serious to the
very ridiculous. It's not for everyone.
I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea.
But you, I reckon, will love it.

News out of the proud nation of Wales.
Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the Welsh national anthem.
I said I do love Welsh people.
Remember my really good friend Sarah who lived here in New Zealand
and we had to sell all of her stuff for her?
Yes, that's right.
She was Welsh.
She was Welsh.
I love Welsh people singing.
Like this guy.
Today, going viral, is the Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford.
I've done some investigation.
I believe a First Minister is like their version of a Prime Minister.
But because they're part of the UK,
Boris Johnson is technically their Prime Minister.
So then they have a leader of Wales, and that's their First Minister.
He's like the Premier.
I'm pretty sure you could call him their Jacinda.
But don't quote me on that.
He's important.
He's the First Minister of Wales.
He's in politics and he's quite important.
His name's Mark Drakeford and he is going viral today
because he has revealed his love of cheese.
He's got me on board.
He's done a Q&A like Jacinda does.
About cheese?
No, just about anything you want.
So people can submit questions.
People from the public can submit questions
and he's being open and transparent.
And he was asked a curly cheese-based question,
the video of which is blowing up.
I'm going to play it to you.
What they say is a fun question from Joe Bangles
who wants to ask what is my favourite cheese?
Well, that's probably the hardest question I've had so far because I really like cheese.
I always have.
From when I was a tiny child and used to walk up to my grandparents in their farm,
one of the things I used to look forward to when I got there
was the fact that my grandmother would pass me a piece of cheese to eat.
He loves cheese. He loves eat. He loves cheese!
He loves cheese!
He loves cheese so much. I can relate
a lot to this guy. So I've got a question for
you, Brie. The same question
that was posed to him. What
is Mark Drakeford's
favourite cheese? I thought you were going to
ask me what my favourite was and I was like,
it's like my children I can't pick, but
what is Mark's? He could be a Gouda man.
Could be a Gouda man. He looks like someone who would enjoy a nice
blue and be like, you know. By that you mean he's over 30?
Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, he could appreciate it. Yeah. He could appreciate a nice blue.
It's not parmesan because that's just a sometimes cheese on meals and, you know, whatever.
And he loves cheese.
I'm taking this really seriously.
I'm only going to give you one guess.
One guess?
Yeah, one guess.
Would it be a simple cheddar?
Oh, I think he's over in Wales.
What are they like in Wales?
Brie? Could it be?
I'm going to say, is it brie cheese?
Let's find out what the First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford,
who loves cheese, let's see what his favourite cheese is.
Because we're in Wales, and I ought to say,
let me say caffili is a cheese I really like.
That crumbly, slightly salty cheese that is caffelli.
But actually, there's a lot of cheeses I like,
and I'll be eating some of it over this weekend.
So thank you for that question.
What the hell is caffelli?
It's not a brie.
But you would say that.
I was hopeful.

I have no idea where it comes from.
I don't even know what the word is.
I'm going to say it's Dutch for tight arse.
Is that right, Brayden?
No, that's incorrect.
Why do they call you Soldi Cut?
So my last name is Coldy Cut
and I'm a real estate agent.
So when I sell a house, it's Soldi Cut.
Oh!

chance of that, Braden. Well done.

And it went all over the back of her skirt.
And she was never able to live it down.
And it was unfortunate because teenagers just saw.
No, I'll stop.
Yeah, that's too bad.
Maybe she always traded yogurts around the high school playground.
There were those people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you knew that they were the Yogurt Girl.
And they called her Yogurt Girl.
Yogurt Girl.
Yogurt Girl.
Do they call you Yogurt Girl because you used to trade yogurts?
No.
We're known from three.
Why do they call you Yogurt?
Because when I first met my friends,
I told them that my name was spelt the French way
because of that ad.
You know the Yoplait?
And they were like, Yoplait is French for yogurt.
Yes.
And then they were like, yogurt.
And then they just called me that.

Thank you so much.
You're very welcome.
Here's a question.
Is there a hobby that your partner has that you absolutely hate
or you just can't get on board with it?
It's just not for you.
I just want you to sit and think about that for a second.
There's a story about a woman who's come out and said she's considering divorcing her husband
if he doesn't give up his one particular hobby.
Oh, what is it?
Playing golf.
Oh.
But she said that it's gotten out of hand. He plays golf five days a week,
four or five hours a day.
He watches golf.
If he's not watching golf,
he's playing games on the PlayStation
or the computer that are golf related.
Yeah, he's golf obsessed.
He's golf obsessed.
She said she's over it.
So golf is not the problem here.
It's the fact that he's...
Spending too much time doing that hobby.
Yeah, it could be anything.
His hobby could be crochet.
Yeah.
And if he was doing it that much,
he'd still have a problem with it.
I love how you picked the hobby crochet.
What I tried to do there, Bree,
is I tried to pick the least offensive hobby I could think of,
and crochet is what my brain came up with.
Yeah, it's not offensive.
You come up with it fast.
Least offensive hobby, go.
See?
See?
See?
Incredibly close to crochet.
All right?
Same thing if you ask me.
You're asking me, does my partner have a hobby that I hate?
No.
No, she does not.
Does your partner have a hobby?
Okay, don't use the word hate, but you don't really enjoy.
No, because I don't know what any of her hobbies are.
Oh, my God.
That's horrible.
That's even worse.
I don't know what any of my hobbies are.
No, go on.
Say what you think to me.
I don't know what any of my hobbies are, okay?
You have hobbies, don't you?
Do I?
That's the hardest question I find when you're filling out a job application
and they say, what are your hobbies and interests?
And I go, I used to play rugby.
I guess I like watching rugby.
Is that a hobby?
It's a hard question to answer.
Is it?
Not for everyone, I don't think.
Well, good for everyone else except me.
No, there would be definitely.
I'm kind of like you.
I'm like, what is one of my hobbies?
Yeah, what is one of your hobbies?
Watching TV.
Your hobbies are making TikTok videos. Currently, it's one of my hobbies? Yeah, what is one of your hobbies? Watching TV. No, your hobbies are making TikTok videos.
Well, my...
Currently, it's one of your hobbies.
No, one of my hobbies is making content,
funny content to make people laugh.
There you go.
I do like doing that.
Oh, and your partner's calling up.
What is the hobby that your partner has that you hate?
She makes too much funny content.
I'm sick of her prank videos.
You can never make too much funny content.
That's not a thing.
Does your partner have a hobby that you hate?
Yeah, walking.
She hates what?
No, I hate walking.
Oh, you hate walking and she loves walking.
Oh my God, walking is one of my hobbies.
How lame am I?
Yeah.
Walking is one of my hobbies.
I hate it.
Let's go to Ben for a second.
Producer Ben, whose hobby is golf.
Wow.
He also loves tramping.
Does your partner have an issue
with either of your main hobbies,
golf and tramping?
No, she wants to come tramping with me.
Haven't had a chance.
Does she want to play golf?
She came and walked around the golf course with me.
I think that was just a form of exercise
just right after COVID.
Here's my question for you, Ben.
So obviously she's been involved with your hobbies.
What hobbies of hers do you get involved in?
I think I'm the same as Clint.
I'm not sure I know.
That's terrible, boy.
No, you guys have got a hobby, okay?
I know what.
We've got hobbies together.
You enjoy drinking craft beers.
Oh, yep.
I was going to say, I even know that's her hobby.
Yeah.
You guys go to like brewery.
You're very hipster.
Ben's got a moustache.
They've got a craft beer rating app.
Can I say, that's also my new hobby.
Ben and I have been bonding over it.
Oh, everyone's got hobbies except me.
We're going Thursday night to enjoy a hobby.
Yeah, we're going tomorrow night to enjoy a range.
No, I can't drink craft beer to hobby.
Oh, my God.
See, you're so hard to please when it comes to hobbies.
Get a hobby.
I love how he goes for the blandest hobby of all, walking.
No, you've been running.
Oh, yeah, running is my new hobby.
That's the same. Yeah, that's
crochet and knitting. You enjoy going to the vet?
It's the same thing. I don't enjoy going to the
vet. It costs me a lot of money.
We're going to ask
people the question. I love going to the vet.
What question do you want to ask? Because now
we've sidetracked into what's your hobby.
Do you want to ask what's the
hobby your partner has that you hate?
Yeah, what's the hobby that your partner has
that you can't really stand?
Right, might be golf. And I want you to call
up. Might be PlayStation. Yeah, the guts
to admit it on air. Might be
model railway.
Maybe they love going to the theatre.
Yeah, right. And you just hate it.
Bree hates the theatre. I don't hate the
theatre. Depends what's on.
0800 dials at M.
You can text us on 9696.
We would like to know your partner's hobby.
That you don't like.
That you don't like.
Brie and Clint.
What's the hobby your partner has that you can't stand?
A woman has come out and said that she's willing to divorce her husband if he doesn't give up his hobby of golf.
I'm getting into golf. It's my next hobby. I got some clubs off being I give up his hobby of golf. I'm getting into golf.
It's my next hobby.
I got some clubs off being I'm going to get into golf.
I am.
I am.
I am.
I'm the right age.
I could drive a ball further than you.
Currently, you probably could.
Let's go to the driving range.
Oh, not everything is a competition, okay?
Hi, Wally.
G'day, Wally.
Hi.
Do you have a hobby that your partner hates or is it the other way around?
It's actually a bit of both.
It's actually, I hate the fact that my partner
does not have a hobby and the fact that she hates
that I play golf.
Right.
Oh, so you're a golf player as well.
How often, though, were you playing, Wally?
How much time?
At most, it would be like two times a week
at like four hour splits.
Yeah, right.
So this, Wally, we're actually hearing this a bit.
People who have a hobby and their partner resents them for it
because they don't have one of their own.
And they don't have anything to do when you're doing that.
Yeah, and there's no like, there's no balance.
And you can't get a leave pass because they went out the weekend before type thing
and it creates friction, right, Wally?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Wally, buy her a PlayStation.
I think I should.
Maybe that'll get her into her hobby.
I reckon maybe.
Get her a PlayStation and get the first game you get her,
make her PGA Golf on EA Sports.
And then if she doesn't want to play it, you can play it.
I was going to say we want her to play it.
Kelsey, hi.
Hi, Kelsey.
Hi.
Is it you that hates one of your partner's hobbies?
Yes, my partner is a pig hunter.
Oh, we've had hunting a bit on the text machine as well.
So what is it about pig hunting that you hate?
Just hearing the pig squeal.
It's quite traumatising.
Yeah, see, it's so interesting, Kelsey.
I was saying to Clint off air, I'm from a rural family
and my dad and my brothers,
when we go home, they'll be like, let's go out shooting.
And I'm just like, just not for me.
Just don't want to do it.
You don't get your relaxation from killing things.
Yeah.
Have you talked to your partner about this, Kelsey?
We've talked about it, but it's sort of going 10 years now and he gets out sort of four
times a week when it's winter.
Four times a week?
He goes four times?
Yeah.
Wow.
Kelsey, there's got to be some sort of compromise.
Yeah, what's your hobby?
Socialising with my girlfriends.
Yeah, that's good too.
And do you do that four times a week?
Not quite four times a week.
I don't know how to handle that, but at least once.
We're giving you permission to go five times a week.
Yeah, once they open the Trans-Tasman bubble,
you should make your hobby flying to Sydney for a long weekend.
I think so too.
Oh, that sounds good.
You deserve it.
Okay, thanks, Kelsey.
Kayla, hi.
Hi, Kayla.
Hi, Bree and Clint.
How are you?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Oh, not too bad.
You're a ray of sunshine.
Welcome to the show.
Do you hate one of your partner's
hobbies? Yes, I do.
What is it, Kayla? Tell us.
It's driving around in the car
and wasting gas.
So you're talking about
doing manies, am I right?
Yes.
Does your partner have a flash car?
Oh, not that flash,
no. Not by your standards.
Does he have a blow-off valve?
Yes.
He does have a blow-off valve.
Very shit.
Now, hang on, Kayla, hang on.
Was the car present when you got together with your partner
or did the car come after?
Hmm, the car came after.
Right, so you've got no affiliation with the car.
Because he could argue that...
This is me before I met you.
And also the car is what attracted you to me.
But you're saying no, not the truth.
Right.
Kayleigh, you should get a hobby and that hobby should be trade me
and the first thing you can put on there is his car.
Yes, that's right, Brie.
I would wish to do that.
Good luck.
I hope you sell it.
And Laura, finally, you hate your boyfriend's hobby.
What is it?
He always listens to scary stories to go to sleep.
What?
He listens to scary stories to go to sleep?
Yeah, he pulls them up on YouTube.
He likes YouTube scary stories.
And then we'll be going to sleep and he'll have it playing out loud
so I can hear it as well.
So then I end up getting a nightmare.
I don't know if that's a hobby. Yeah, is that a hobby?
That sounds like some kind of issue.
What are you doing?
Who wants to hear a scary story?
Well, I'm not saying it's an issue.
Who wants to hear a scary story right before bed?
Not me. He does.
So does he think about...
Yeah, do you say to him that it
makes you not be able to go to sleep?
No, because I usually fall asleep,
and then I wake back up,
and it's still playing, and he's falling asleep,
and that's when it really gets you,
like when it's actually, like, real midnight.
It gets into your dreams and stuff,
because it's playing in your thoughts.
I've got a scary story you should tell him tonight, okay?
It goes like this.
And one day, he refused to stop watching stupid YouTube scary stories before bed, and his
girlfriend found somewhere else to sleep, and she went into her own bedroom, and she
was never there to do any bedroom stuff with him at night, ever.
I'm terrified!
Good luck, Laura.
Thanks for calling us.
Yeah, good luck, Laura.
Thank you.
Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday, Laura. Thank you. Bree and Clint.

It keeps on moving.

By five.
So good.
Do you love it?
Love it.
Remember it like yesterday.
Yeah, right?
Was this the band that the guy had this super spiky hair?
He had all different twirled spikes.
There were five of them.
No shit.
One of them had abs and they called him abs.
Did they actually?
Yeah, genuinely.
But I don't know if the spike guy was in there in a face.
I'm pretty sure he was.
Yeah, right.
We'll Google it.

Sarah, you've won birthday banger.
We're going to stop the shanty and play your song.
Congratulations.
Oh, this is uplifting for a Wednesday Arbo, isn't it?
Right?
I'll Google whether the spiky-haired dude's in this band or not.
Yeah, do.
Yeah.
And the abs guy.
Okay, I'll Google both.
Google does abs still have abs. And if the sunshine has a meaning You're telling me not to let them get in our way

He just goes to me
Did you know that one of the guys from Five was on The Voice UK?
And I said, oh, as a judge?
And she goes, no, as a contestant.
It's so, like, it's fine.
Yeah, but you made me feel bad for assuming that he was a judge.
I never made you assume he was a judge.
But I said he's going on The Voice,
because that's the show that people go on to make it as a singer.
They've already made it.
They're five.
I think he was going on as a solo artist.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, I found it quite interesting because I loved Five back in the day.
Everybody did.
You reckon?
Which one of Harry, which one of One Direction is going to be the first to go on The Voice?
I'm not answering this.
None of them.
Who do you think?
I don't know his name.
You watch out, the Twittersphere will come after you.
Okay, which one?
You can explain it to me.
No, I'm not going down that route.
Bree and Clint. Explain it to me. No, I'm not going down that route. This is for anyone who maybe is getting lazy
when they're reading their kids' bedtime stories
or maybe you would like to listen to a bedtime story
when you're going to sleep.
Because there is a very exciting collab happening
between very famous, very lovely Harry Styles
and a meditation app called Calm, where he has teamed up with them to narrate sleep stories
that you can get on the app.
What a wonderful idea.
I think it's a great idea.
Calm were the people who offered you the chance for Matthew McConaughey to talk you to sleep.
Yeah, he's still on there.
That's clever.
And I would love Harry Styles to read me a bedtime story.
I like Harry Styles' voice.
It was meant to go up today on the app,
but I think because we're obviously ahead of...
We live in the future.
Yeah, we live in the future.
So we're still waiting,
but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get it tomorrow on the app.
You can get a free trial if you want to see, but I think you're going to have to pay for it.
But here's a little tiny snippet of Harry Styles.
Hello.
I'm Harry Styles.
Yeah, right.
That is.
So that's a little.
That's enough.
Like I'm good to go.
Is it meant to put me to sleep or something else?
No, it's meant to make you feel calm.
If my wife heard that, there'd be no sleep going on.
Which I think he's really targeted that kind of market,
which is good for him.
I know.
I thought there's money to be made here.
Definitely.
And I mean, I can't feel like... I can't tap into the market he's tapping into.
But I do have experience.
You've got a brand new daughter.
She's one very soon this weekend.
Correct.
And I thought maybe I can tap into the kids market because I'd love for you to play this to Tui.
Right.
Before she goes to sleep, saves you having to do it.
Right.
You've recorded a bedtime story for my daughter.
I've not only recorded a bedtime story for your daughter, Tui, I have also written the
story myself.
Oh, this is a real gift.
This is lovely.
This is a gift from me to your family.
Okay.
And if anyone else wants it, it's going to be the low, low price of $3.99.
Okay.
But free for me.
But free for you. Okay. Can everybody hear it together? Is that to be the low, low price of $3.99. Okay, but free for me. But free for you.
Okay, can everybody hear it together?
Is that okay?
Yeah, everyone can listen to it together.
This is My Bedtime Story I wrote for Clint's daughter, Tui.
Once upon a time, there was a little baby chick named Beverly
who was growing up with her brothers and sisters on a farm.
She was healthy and happy.
But she had a secret.
She wanted to be the next Tony Hawk of her generation.
One day, she built up the courage to tell her parents of her dream.
She said, Mum and Dad, which translates to,
Mum and Dad, I want to be the greatest skater the chicken world has ever seen.
Her dad replied with,
which translates to, we support you. Beverly went on to perform sweet 1380s and get sweet, sweet air.
The end.
Perfect.
It's perfect.
You're welcome.
Dream big.
Dream big, little Tui.
That was pretty much the whole point of that story. Dream big. Dream big, little Tui.
That was pretty much the whole point of that story.
Exciting news for Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt.
They got away first time.
Tyson Gay right alongside Usain Bolt, but here he goes, streaking away already.
It's Bolt all the way.
He's looking around at Gay.
Watch the clock.
It's goal for Bolt.
And again.
He's done it again.
The incredible thing about that clip is that is his entire 100-meter race.
Was that the whole thing? That was the whole race from start to finish.
See, that's where you know he's just ridiculous.
His partner, Cassie Bennett, and him have welcomed Baby girl into the world. Oh, congratulations. She's beautiful.
She's perfect. She's absolutely adorable too. She's so cute. I've seen her.
He's put a photo up on Twitter and he's revealed the most perfect name possible
for his daughter. I was saying to you off air, when I saw this headline of the
story, all I could think about, I was like, please name her Lightning. Please name her
Lightning. And he has knocked that year down.
He's gone one better than that, actually.
Usain Bolt's daughter's name is Olympia Lightning Bolt.
Well done.
I don't mind it.
Well done.
Well, he's done the right thing.
Because Olympia is quite a cute name.
Yeah.
It's not bad.
And he's one of the greatest Olympians of all time.
Makes sense.
I mean, it's better than him naming her Usain, which is the other one.
That's what other people do.
They go, I love me.
I'm going to call.
I want to name the kid after me.
I'm going to call it my name.
That's what my parents did.
Did they?
Yeah, my second name's after my dad.
Is your second name Steve?
Yeah.
Is it? No, it's the girl version. Is your second name Steve? Yeah. Is it?
No, it's the girl version.
Oh, Stephanie.
Yeah, right.
After my dad.
Oh, lovely.
And then my brother got Dion after my mum Diane.
Anyway, this is a scoop, actually.
And Producer Ben, if you could alert the Herald to this.
We, this is, I know, look, I know there's a lot of bad. We're not meant to be leaking this. know look, I know there's a lot of bad
No, we're not meant to leak this. And I know there's a lot of
bad press around at the moment with
certain political parties leaking
certain important documents
but I'm willing to leak this because
I want the kudos. We have the
official shortlist of names
that Usain Bolt
was considering, his partner and him were
considering for their daughter.
Where did we get our hands on this?
I don't reveal my sources.
Okay.
So we're just going to go through these names one by one,
the names that didn't quite make the cut, but almost.
Okay.
Yeah.
Cool.
A name that Usain nearly named his daughter was Thunder.
Thunder, yeah.
Which is pretty close.
That was it. Thunderbolt, yeah.
I don't mind the name Thunderbolt.
Yeah, it was on the list.
One of the names that was on the list also, Chicken Nugget.
Chicken Nugget.
Because he loves, I think it's because he loves chicken nuggets.
Oh, gotcha.
Remember he used to eat 100 chicken nuggets at the Olympic Village.
That's right.
He used to do that.
Yeah, yeah.
It's insane.
Yeah.
This is off the short list of names
Usain Bolt nearly named his daughter.
This is first and second
name. Right. He nearly
named her first name
Nuts, second name And.
Yeah, that's
perfect. Yeah, that's on
my short list as well. Is that on your list? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've only got one more name on the short list that they considered.
This is the last one.
This is the last one that they thought about for the child.
Okay.
Usain Bolt's daughter.
They were going to name it Speedy Gonzales.
I think they picked the best one.
Olympia.
Bree and Clint.
Guys, I read a study, another study,
and it said pretty much you can change this one thing
in your day-to-day life and it'll make you live longer.
Keen.
And I thought, I'm in.
Yep, love it.
Love reading these things.
Yep.
And then I usually read it and go, too hard.
I love health hacks.
Too hard.
This is kind of a health hack, yes.
So it talks about how one of the biggest
health problems, and we've all heard this
for a long time now, is how long
we sit. Yeah, sitting's the new smoking,
apparently. Yeah, sitting, I hate
that. That's what they say, sitting is the new
smoking. You know why I hate this? Can I just say,
you know when they brought out the standing
desk? Why are you taking
sitting down from us? Because they're
sitting down too long. Take away the bad foods and the greasy stuff
But sitting is my favourite
Yeah, but we never used to sit this long
As a species, we would be out there doing some manual labours and stuff
I'd rather just live, like, you know, obliviously
Would you?
Yes
Because I love to sit
Can you imagine in the future if sitting is the new smoking
And there's a designated sitting area
and you go to a restaurant and they're like,
like how they used to ask you if you'd like to sit in the smoking area.
They're like, sitting or standing today?
So you're like, I'd like to sit.
Oh, okay.
They usher you off to this area with the seats
and you have to stay over there.
And then you feel segregated and judged.
There's a special room outside the airport
where all the people can go to sit down.
I'd love that.
It'd be great.
I mean, like, seriously, what's next?
Are they going to tell us that laying down is bad for us?
No, laying down's not bad for you.
Yeah, so they say now.
That's what they should have done.
It's going to be the new vaping.
Rather than going from sitting desk to standing desk,
they should have gone sitting desk to lying down desk.
See, I'd be keen for that.
Right? I'd be keen for that. Right.
I'd be on board.
That's what the astronauts do.
They've got the right idea.
They do everything from bed.
So tell me what this one thing is we can do to make ourselves live longer.
So essentially, you don't need to be on the move all day.
They're not saying you need to exercise vigorously all day
and walk the stairs and all that kind of stuff.
All they're saying is you need to adjust how you sit.
Right.
If that makes sense.
Yeah.
So all of this study is based on this tribe in Tanzania, in East Africa,
and essentially they studied, they sit for very similar periods to what we do,
but they don't sit the same way.
So essentially, they squat or they kneel.
Right, okay.
When they sit.
Yeah.
And they're saying that it has all these extra health benefits
that if you sit, like as in a squat or you kneel.
Let's squat.
Let's do it now.
We've got some stools.
Yeah, we've got some, because we've got quite a high,
we actually,
the irony of this is
we have a standing desk
in the studio, so.
I always sit at.
She's got a high,
we've got bar stools
so that we can,
so we put these stools down
and we're going to squat.
This is for you guys.
My pants are real tight.
Yeah, mine aren't.
Okay, so ready?
Just pretend like
this is the new norm.
Hold on,
I'm just going to go back
on my feet.
You've got to go flat foot, right?
Yeah, that's how you get the benefits of your squat.
You need to have your feet flat on the ground.
Okay, good.
No, you're not squatting properly.
Because I can't get down, mate.
I've got a long way.
Well, just get those rickety 38-year-old knees down.
38, you shut up.
Okay, this is good.
How do you feel?
Healthy. Do you feel healthy? I don't know good. How do you feel? Healthy.
Do you feel healthy?
I don't know.
How long do you have to squat for?
How long?
Ten hours.
The whole time.
Ten hours?
Yeah, this is our new life.
Nah, I'm out.
I just feel like I'm going to do a poo.
You look like you are.
Yeah, I've got to go.
I have a minute.
