two one two hello hello hello hello ready hello everybody welcome to the brie and clint podcast um are you getting this at the moment because i know we've got a lot of international listeners of the podcast getting messages from uh people who are living in the states at the moment letting you know the stuff that's going on over there yeah i have been getting those and uh i appreciate that from anyone who like gives us updates and kind of gives their perspective on things. It's quite crazy to watch, isn't it? It's incredibly crazy, and you guys should know over there that. Because they were going, are you getting this on the news?

Are you seeing what's happening here? It's the main story on the news here. Well, it goes COVID and then that. I feel like it's – Well, because we're basically through COVID here. You might not know that, but we're on to our 12th day of zero cases. And next week, the prime minister might be opening everything except the borders. Yeah.

Which is, I mean, awesome news. And then followed it up straight away by what's happening over there with the protests. You shouldn't lead with the protests. By the murder of George Floyd, the protests, the president, and then some of the riots. You know what I think is crazy is that within a space of, you know, the last five months, we have gone through things that will be some of the biggest moments in history for our generation

if not the biggest yeah and they've gone back to back i saw a really interesting tweet today that said this will be a period of history that your children and your grandchildren will study about yeah well they'll study it in school like it'll be it'll be talked about because it's such a moment in time and they'll come to you and they'll go, what did you do? It is literally a defining period for our generation. Yeah. So there's pressure on you to either speak up or do something that your kids will be proud of you for doing.

Yeah. You know, you don't want to be that person. You want to tell them that you did or that you. Which in itself, God, that's a lot of pressure. Yeah, isn't it? I'm glad I don't want to be that person. What do you want to tell them? Yeah. Like that you did or that you, you know. Which in itself, God, that's a lot of pressure. Yeah, isn't it? I'm glad I don't have kids. Like will my grandkids be sweet with? Well, with the pandemic, I just kind of stayed home

and I learned how to make peanut butter cookie. Yeah, but you did your bit. That was the right thing to do. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah, and if you don't like that, grandkids. What a weird time to live through. I think about young people

and by young I mean people who are old enough to understand what's going on but young enough to still be incredibly impressionable and like the mental fatigue that this year must have taken on people. Imagine you're a kid in Australia and this year you've lived through bushfires

like some of the worst bushfires ever and then you live through a pandemic, and you're like, cool, I'm turning 11 next week. You know? How do you even, what is the rest of your life? What is the rest of your life? Would you be surprised by anything that comes along after this? Well, hopefully it would be, you know,

I hope that we don't have to go through something like this again in our generation, that's for sure. Yeah. That's the hope. Anyway, if you are one of our American listeners, we are watching what's going on at the moment. We're sympathizing with you guys. We don't have any idea how it's going to get sorted out.

It's not like we're sitting here going, you guys should just do this. And we can't comment because, I mean, yeah, we have no idea what you guys will be going through and, you know, what this really means. But I think – We can do some comments. What's that? We can do some comments.

Yeah, I guess we can put it out there. Like it would be good if you had a good president at the moment. Like I just feel like that would really help. And you know what? If you had a leader that was bringing people together at the moment. And I think maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is realising that there is a vote this year and that might

bring some good change you know but it's this year it's not long away and I mean it doesn't help what's going on right now but you know you just gotta try and push forward you'd have to think that because there's notoriously low voter turnout at these things

you'd have to think that people are gonna show up low voter turnout at these things you'd have to think people are going to show up like people surely are going to come out after this and go this is the this is the this is the i saw rihanna tweet today it's always good to turn to rihanna in these moments and she said under her umbrella yeah right yeah uh she said that voting is the illest protest you can do. And I was like, yeah, Rhianna, that's true. I like that. That's good.

So show up, I guess. Or don't. It's your country. We're not trying to get too involved. Well, in Australia, just so you know, you get fined if you don't vote. Yeah. So, I mean, that's a good way of getting people to vote. How much is the fine?

I don't know. It's a good question. I remember my dad one time forgot to vote and then he got sent the bill. He forgot to vote? How much is the fine? I don't know. It's a good question. I remember my dad one time forgot to vote and then he got sent the bill. He forgot to vote? Yeah, he forgot. And then he got sent the bill and then he lied and told them that he got stuck in the mud out in the farm or something. Did he get out of it?

Yeah. Cool. You've just outed your dad's electoral fraud on the podcast. I mean, hypothetically, that happened. Here's today's podcast. Enjoy mean, hypothetically, that happens. Here's today's podcast. Enjoy it, everybody. Bye. Bye.

Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. Good afternoon, everybody.

Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint. G'day, guys. Sorry, I just had that, you know that moment where you full, like, panic when you're like, where's my phone? Oh, yeah, and you start patting both pockets and you pat the bum pockets. It's like you're patting yourself down. You're like, where is it? And if it's not in your pockets, where else could it be?

I freak out. Did you find it? Yeah, it was in my pocket. Yeah, good. It was in my jacket. So it's a fairly guilty response, too, because it? Yeah, it was in my pocket. Yeah, good. It was in my jacket. So it's a fairly guilty response too because you're like, I need to find this before anyone else does. Literally, that takes precedent over anything else.

Yeah, right. Well, you've got it. You're okay? Oh, I've got a few texts. Yeah, nice. Yeah, good. Hey, good show coming up for you guys. One of us ran the Bronco test today on Eden Park. Yes, clap him in. One of us.

What a hero. One of us conveniently broke their leg the day before the test. I can't believe you're making me feel so bad for breaking my leg. We were going to do it together. We were going to do this test together. You and me taking on the Bronco just like Bowdoin Barrett did at Blues Training. And then you show up with a

broken leg. Not once in the time that we've worked together, two and a half years, have you shown up with a broken leg. And then the day before I plan a running challenge, you show up with a broken leg. I'm so sorry my broken leg has been such an inconvenience for you. We can't even wait. Like, it'll be too late by then. Anyway, I'm glad you finally apologised.

And five o'clock today, we'll find out how I went. It was meant to be me versus Bree, but now I only have Bowdoin Barrett's time to compare myself to. You should never compete. The biggest competition is the competition against yourself in life. And it definitely was today. Yeah. Well, you'll get the results at five o'clock today.

Also, speaking of my broken leg, I have to call my mum and tell her. I can't believe you haven't told your mum you broke your leg. I know what she's like. I'm fine. It'll be fine. But I didn't want to worry her. I can't believe you haven't told your mum you broke your leg. I know what she's like. I'm fine. It'll be fine. But I didn't want to worry her. And I was like, oh, I probably need to tell her. Yeah, right.

Well, tell her on the radio. That'll be good. So that's going to happen. Yeah, that's a good idea. Plus, of course, at 4 o'clock, another Daddy Bloomfield extravaganza bonanza. A $500 winter wardrobe update up for grabs today. You've got about an hour left to text D text daddy to 9696 if you want to win that prize. 500 bucks to go and redo

your wardrobe. Yeah, so get onto that real quick. Up next, simple question. Do you even Lego? Bruh. Bruh? Bruh. Do you even Lego? There's a new Lego set out, Clint, for adults. And it's fancy. Oh, right. So if you're into Lego,

I'll tell you all the details. I always thought Lego was a bit sharp for adult stuff, but I bought it out. I'm keen to hear about it. Here's Harry Styles on ZM, Bree and Clint. Here's a random question for you.

Do you even Lego? Yeah, bro. Do you Lego at all? Do you even adult Lego is probably what I want to ask. Oh, yeah. More so. Yeah, because lots of kids listening will be going,

yeah, brah, I Lego like every day. Of course I Lego. Come on, brah. What are you talking about? Because Lego have actually released an adults only Lego set. Oh, what makes it adults only? That sounds... Because it's too hard.

Oh, okay. Yeah, get your mind out of the gutter. Like I said before, lots of sharp edges on a Lego, so I'm glad it wasn't for what I was thinking. Yeah, so they're saying they recommend it rather for builders aged over the age of 18. Really? Yeah.

Okay. Which, I mean, to be honest, I feel like most Lego sets I look at and I think... Too hard. Too hard. Me too. I can't believe how amazing some people are at putting that stuff together I'm like you have to have a certain wide brain to be able to do it

I watched Vaughan build that Star Wars Lego It's incredible It's incredible Have you ever watched Lego? Is it Lego Masters? Yeah, I've watched the Hamish Blake one, the Australian one Yeah, I just can't understand how they can actually put it together It's a different level of creativity Lego people have Because not only do you have to be able to visualise how to build something,

you have to be able to visualise how to build the Lego version of that. Yeah, there's no instructions. No. And it's so expensive. Yeah, it is expensive. So if you want to make something big, you've got to be rich or have been collecting Lego for a long, long time. Yeah, we got our hand-me-down Legos from my cousin.

But that was a fun time. It was like a big box of random Legos. It was good. I loved it. But this Lego set is actually a supercar version in Lego. And it's the Sian, if people know what that is. It features nearly 3,700 pieces of Lego. Yeah. 3,700 pieces of Lego, which is roughly 1,000 more pieces

than the groundbreaking Porsche GT3 RS kit Lego. Oh, okay. It's more than that one. Yeah, more than that one. Anyway, they reckon these Lego sets of these supercars are so intricate and are so similar to the real things that, yeah, that's the reason there's so many pieces. Yeah, right. There are a few supercar mechanics out there going, come on, that's the reason there's so many pieces. Yeah, right.

There are a few supercar mechanics out there going, come on, mate, it's just blocks. Well, it's not that similar. Yeah. It's not that similar. Does it have a V12? Does it have gas? It does.

It does? It's got a V12 engine with four-wheel drive and a working eight-speed paddle shift gearbox. Oh, right. Okay, well, then it is quite intricate. Yeah. Anyway, how much do you reckon that kind of Lego set would cost? Oh, I know Lego is expensive.

So if this is the most intricate Lego available, like $500, $1,000 for a Lego set? Yeah, you've gone too high. See, this is what you do. This is what you do. It costs about $570. Yeah, right. Well, that sounds what you do. This is what you do. It costs about $570. Yeah, right. Well, that sounds realistic.

Sorry. That's what I would expect to pay for it. Yeah, I mean, it's a lot less than the real car, which is like $5 million. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you're a Lego aficionado or a Lego collector, $500 for something that will challenge you and you can have something that's quite unique,

then you'd see that as money well spent. Yeah, I think so. And that takes up, you know, gives you a hobby, gives you quite a lot of... Keeps you off the streets. Exactly.

Keeps you out of trouble. Which if I know people that are into Lego, always out on the streets. They're all recovering criminals. Causing trouble. Yeah. That's what I know

about Lego enthusiasts. Yeah. Should we talk to some? Should we talk to some of these former miscreants? Are you a person that tackles giant Lego kind of? Yeah. Do you love Lego?

Are you an adult who loves Lego? Have you made like the whole Titanic out of Lego? Yeah. Have you made all the Star Wars out of Lego? Yeah. Have you attempted the Porsche GT3 out of Lego? I want to know. I just want to talk to adults who spend a large amount of their income on Lego.

Like how much does it cost? How much money have you spent on Lego? Yeah, and do you have a Lego room? Yeah. How much yet? What's the most expensive piece you've got? Keen to talk to some adult Legoers on 0800-DARLS-IT-M. Bree and Clint.

Oh, welcome to the Lego chat. We're just talking about a bit of Lego. Just two friends having a chat about Lego, you know? Oh, welcome to the Lego chat. We're just talking about a bit of Lego. Just two friends having a chat about Lego, you know? Yeah. I mean, how much Lego knowledge do you have? We actually have a very big amount of Lego at my parents' house. Do you? My brother's a big Lego heads, but not me.

Not you? Because none of the things I built ever looked like things. What were you into? Not Lego. Rollerblading. Duh. Duh. But I had the problem.

I don't have the creative vision for Lego And I also don't find it therapeutic Some people do And it's like a It's like a form of meditation Because you go in there with the blocks And you get hands in the blocks And you're creating

Yeah For me it's frustrating Yeah See I feel like you can be able to tell Like my brother and I He was really good at Lego And building stuff Me

Loved Lego Was terrible Yeah He's an electrical engineer. I do this. Yeah. But we have some Lego people on the show. Alex is here.

Hey, Alex. Hey, how's it going? G'day, mate. Do you adult Lego? Yeah, it's one of my, you know, guilty pleasures. I love it. Yeah, right. Cool.

So, like, how much would you say, like, is your biggest piece of Lego? How much is it worth? My biggest one's the roller coaster. Yeah. And that was $700. Oh. Yeah. If you're working, does it actually go like?

Yeah. Yeah, right. That's pretty cool. And it's got like battery powered, so you can either hand crank it or you can, it'll run itself. It's pretty cool. This might be a dumb question. Yeah.

Is it big enough for you? That is a dumb question, but I'll let Alex answer it. Alex. Is it big enough for you to ride it? That is a dumb question but I'll let Alex answer it. Alex, is it big enough? I think it'd be a one-time ride and there'd be many deaths. That was such a good answer, Alex.

I think that's the idea of Lego is it's miniature versions of real things. I mean, I don't know. I'm not the expert but You never know. Fascinating.

Hey, thanks, Alex. That's really interesting. Very cool. Let's talk to Fahim. Hi, Fahim. Hi, guys how's it going good how are you yeah good thanks are you a bit of an adult lego uh uh yeah i guess i am i suppose i don't really thought of it that way but yeah impress us what's your um what's your most prized lego position uh it would have to be the Apollo 5, the rocket. That's pretty cool. Wow.

Yeah. I want to know, Fahim, what's the longest time you've spent on one Lego project? I think that's the one that took me ages. So I think I spent maybe a couple of weeks just on and off, hacking away at it. And do you find it relaxing or is it like me? Do you find yourself getting increasingly angry as the process goes on? it. And do you find it relaxing or is it like me? Do you find yourself getting increasingly angry

as the process goes on? No, 100% I find it relaxing. I only got into it like a couple of years ago. Really? So it's like a new thing for you? Yeah, yeah. So as a kid,

I've always loved Lego, but like my family couldn't afford to buy me any. It's so expensive, eh? It is. I look at the boxes. Yeah. It's a rich family thing.

Once I finally got a job, I started getting into it. Oh my God, this is like a full inspirational Lego story. Yeah. It's a rich family thing. Once I finally got a job, I, yeah, started getting into it. Oh my God, this is like a full inspirational Lego story. Yeah, I love that. You've experienced your Lego glow up, Fahim.

It's fantastic. Yeah, and even so, I used to have it, all the stuff that I bought off Trade Me or online, I used to have it sent into my work and they sort of like

picked up on the fact that I was, you know, they would kind of like make fun of me, whatever. And then when I finally left the job. Oh, what are they doing on the weekends, Fahim? Probably something boring.

You're like at least doing something. Yeah. But on the good side, they actually bought me a Lego for my going away thing. Oh, well, that's nice. They came around then. I take it back. We need to talk to a female Legower

because we're overrepresented with men at the moment. I want to know from the girls, what are you building? Ellen, are you a lady Legower? Are you a lady who Legos? We need to talk to a female Legoer because we're overrepresented with men at the moment. I want to know from the girls, what are you building? Ellen, are you a lady Legoer? Are you a lady who Legos? I sure am. Yes. That's hot, Ellen.

Do people love that? Are they like, ooh, sexy? It's definitely the first thing that they notice when they come into our house. Yeah, right. Well, why? Have you got a house covered in Lego stuff? Is it like a Lego museum in there? We've got Lego sort of dotted all around the house, but we do actually have a Lego room.

When you say we, do you have a partner? Yeah. Okay, cool. And do you both Lego together? Yeah, we do. Oh, that's cute. And I don't mean to use a pun here, except I'm going to. Was that the building blocks of your relationship?

It definitely keeps us strong. Yeah. You have a good connection. Yeah. Technics-ly. Yeah. Oh, no. Should have stopped.

Is that Lego Technics? Is that the thing? I don't know. Oh, yeah, it might be. Ellen, what have you guys built together? What's like your rarest or your most expensive or like the thing you spent the most time on? We're sort of into the like the different

Legos. So he's into more of like the cars and we sort of collect a lot of the collectible ones, the limited edition things. So usually most our most expensive ones like the 007 car and things like that. What like the Aston Martin? Yeah, wow. Okay. I do like the 007 car and things like that. What, like the Aston Martin? Yeah, wow.

Okay. Hey, myself, I do like the city stuff. So I've got like a whole cityscape and that's been like a good year or so of building on it. Oh, yeah. There you go. Fascinating. And there you go.

Adults who Lego. We knew they were a thing. I knew they were out there. We just were wondering if they were willing to talk to us. I mean, well, you can watch Lego Masters and realise. That's definitely a thing. They're all on that show. Let's send kids on the show.

Yeah. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. A lot of people at the moment tweeting and getting in trouble for the things they're tweeting. At the moment, it's a very heated situation. And someone who's fallen into that category is former star of The Hills, Stephanie Pratt.

Tell us more, Dean McCarthy. Oh, guys, this is so ridiculous. Stephanie Pratt has, yeah, the latest celebrity to go on Twitter rant. Well, here's what she said today. She said, shoot the looters, okay, for all of the drama going down in the US right now. Big call, right? Big call. Well, someone pulled up. This is so ironic.

Someone found the mugshot of Stephanie Pratt in 2006 when she shoplifted from Neiman Marcus, $1,300 at the close. She looted Neiman Marcus herself, and here she is five years later saying, you should shoot the looters. And one hilarious Twitter person was like, oh, how about you check your history? I know, isn't that hypocrisy at its best?

So this is back in 2006 that she did this shoplifting, wasn't it, Dean? Yeah, and I've got to tell you, you want to see a bad mugshot? Yeah. Yeah, we've seen it. This is the worst mugshot I've ever seen. It's so bad. Hey, Dean, Clint's not going to get this reference, but I've just realised, Dean, is she the actual real-life Marissa from the OC?

I think is that who it's based on? Well, Marissa got done for shoplifting in the OC as well, and she had a bit of a problem with, you know, illicit drugs and alcohol. Yeah, right. And Stephanie Pratt's kind of had the same kind of storyline. I never understand these really famous celebrities who end up shoplifting because you've clearly got the money. Like, remember when Winona Ryder got done for shoplifting?

It's the thrill, apparently. Is it the thrill, Dean? Is that what you think it is? Why are you asking me? Well, I don't know. You lived there. Remember that time you shoplifted, Dean? Yeah.

Remember you got those Gucci loafers? I don't think I've ever shoplifted. Okay. Well, put it down to experience, I guess. You can't shoot the looters if you are the looter. And that's why no one's really talking about Stephanie Pratt from the Hills anymore as well, put it down to experience, I guess. You can't shoot the looters if you are the looter. And that's why no one's really talking about Stephanie Pratt from the Hills anymore as well, I think. And it's interesting that we are. I've got breaking Facebook news.

Zuckerberg is still a wanker. No, that's not it. No, no, no. To be honest, I probably overhyped it a bit. It's just a new feature. I've been more excited about the Zuckerberg. Yeah, well, I imagine that is the news. Leading the news tonight, Zuckerberg confirmed as a wanker. Zuckerberg still rich.

Now, how about this? This is something they're going to add to Facebook where you're going to have the ability to remove entire parts of your past from Facebook in one click. So if you, this is good. This is good. If you've got a period of your life which you're not particularly.

Which would say involve an ex. An ex, yeah. I'm just kidding. Yeah, no, absolutely that involves an ex or involves a hairstyle or involves whatever it is that you want to cover up from your past. They're adding a feature which will let you highlight a date range and you'll be able to remove everything that you did on Facebook

from that time, which I think is a great option. See, this is how I know I'm a hoarder because that to me gives me anxiety because I'm like, but what if there's like a moment in there that I don't want to get rid of and there's like quite a lot, but what if there's like a couple of moments? They've got you covered there too. So you can either choose to delete everything so it's wiped from

the internet for good or you can choose to archive it so that everything from back then is only available to you. Oh, see, yeah, that's probably better. So you can still go in there and you go, oh, I'd love to see that picture of me doing jelly shots on a Contiki bus from 2006. I'd want to find out what Watts' name was and what's he up to these days.

That can go into your archive, but your future employer doesn't have to see your Contiki body shots. Yeah, probably not the best for them to see. Yeah, right. But good to reminisce sometimes. I just think that we've been on Facebook for so long now that we're not the people we were when we first started going on there. Like I get some Facebook.

Ain't that the truth. Right? I get some Facebook memories come up these days and I go, I don't think that's funny. And I wrote it. Yeah, I know. I look at me from like 10 years ago and I'm like, how do people let me out in public like that?

Exactly right. Where are your eyebrows? I didn't have any. Didn't have any. So you can go. I'm mortified. If you can pinpoint the time of life where you didn't have any eyebrows, you can just click from the beginning of it to the end of it.

I'm going to say. And you can just archive that stuff and it's gone and no one ever has to see it. I'm going to say it was a good 2003 to 2008. Yeah, right. That's when it was here. Gone. It's gone. You don't want it? Yeah, no one ever has to see it. I'm going to say it was a good 2003 to 2008. Yeah, right. That's when it was in. Gone. It's gone.

You don't want it? It's gone. Yeah, no, they were gone. That's your Facebook News Update. Nope, still a wanker. Bree and Clint. A lot of people right now, I think, you know, are going through a tough time, probably looking for new jobs and redoing their resumes.

Don't you hate that? Yeah. God, I hate it. Who knows how to do a CV? Not me. They should teach it in high school. Everybody just gets the template. You know, the template that comes off like Microsoft Word?

Yeah. Anytime I've had to do it, that's how I've filled mine in. We had this friend of ours in our group of friends who she used to, like, do people's resumes and cover letters and stuff and you'd pay her. Yeah. But they were amazing. Yeah, that's worth spending the money on. And I was like, I am worth, yeah, I'm definitely paying the money. Because it's your first foot in the door with a job.

Especially that cover letter. They say the cover letter is the most important thing. Gives you the opportunity. Yeah, when you're applying for a job because that's what they see. If they read a bad cover letter, they're probably not going to bother going into the rest of it, let alone getting you in for an interview. Because you might be great in person, but if you don't present well on that first submission, no, you're not going to get an interview.

Because what do they say? They always say to make it specific to the place that you're, you know. That's like one of the key things. Yeah, they were like, yeah, Clint, it's great that you're applying for this job here at ZM, but we don't really care that you used to work at BP. Like it doesn't, it's not relevant to the job. Or imagine if you were like sending it to ZM,

but you forgot to change out ZM's name for something else. And that happens a lot. People who are applying for a similar job at different places and you say, I would love to work for you guys at The Rock. Damn it! I love The Rock and this is why. Yeah. Well, this isn't The Rock.

But, yeah, there was an article that I was reading which I feel like might be helpful for some people at the moment. And it was talking about the one thing you really shouldn't lie about on your resume. Right, there's one thing you really shouldn't lie about on your resume right there's only one thing you shouldn't lie about no well this is like they were like kind of like do not lie about if you're gonna lie avoid this bit well i think it's because it could be like uh if they find out uh grounds for termination oh okay so this is like the serious stuff i mean if you lie about your age what are they they going to do? What did you hear?

Susan is actually not 36. She's 38. Because age is one. I don't know how employment law works, surprisingly. I wonder if you can. Can you get fired if you lie about your age? If you lie about your age and then they find out, can you come back on it and say,

well, what, would you not have hired me if you knew I was this age? I don't know how it works. I think that's BS if they can do that. So what's the thing you shouldn't lie about? They said the one thing you really shouldn't lie about is your references. Uh-huh. And so by that, you know what I'm talking about. The people that they call up to say, is this a good person to hire?

Exactly. Yeah. Have you ever done that? I have for flats that I've applied to live in. Which is kind of similar. Which I think everybody does. You get your mate and you go, can you pretend? I get my mum, can you give me a glowing review?

She goes, no, you are awful to live with. So why do they say don't lie about your references? They just said that, yeah, pretty much employees who hire someone who has lied about their references may be able to try and recover the cost of hiring and paying for that employee that's lied. Oh, right. But I mean, if you get really good people to stand in, I'm just kidding. There's definitely a line.

Like if you go, if you put down that you worked at NASA on your job resume and you get your friend Steve to say, okay, I need you to pretend. He was one of your fellow astronauts. Yeah, yeah. You're the launch commander. Just tell everybody I was a great astronaut. You are applying for a job at Starbucks.

Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know. I know. Just talk me up. Talk me up. Yeah, it's really not a good idea. I don't think I've ever done it either because I'm too like. I'm too scared. I'm too scared to do it and I'd feel too guilty. Like, you know mean I'd be like I'm gonna get caught yeah like but if you knew you weren't

gonna get caught if you knew you weren't gonna get caught what would you say hmm I mean it's very hard in a radio job because you go yeah I worked at that station and I'll just go where's the podcast yeah you're like well I've never heard you. We had a podcast issue. They took them down. One of my friends, actually, she used to... She was an actress or an aspiring actress and she would rent herself out to friends of ours to stand in as people.

Yeah, like a reference. Yeah, because she was an actress. She was like, here's an opportunity for me to use my skills. Yeah, and then she can put on her CV when she's going for a job, fake references. Yeah, because she was an actress. She was like, here's an opportunity for me to use my skills. Yeah, and then she can put on her CV when she's going for a job, fake references. Yeah, she did. That's one of her jobs. I want to talk to someone who has lied on their CV.

Yeah, you're willing. You can be anonymous. Yeah. We want to know, yeah, did you lie on your CV? Doesn't matter if you got caught or not. Love it if you're still on the job. Yeah. But it doesn't have to be.

What was it about? Was it a little lie? Yeah, because I think there's a little bit of lying involved. There's a little doesn't have to be. What was it about? Was it a little lie? Yeah. Because I think there's a little bit of lying involved. There's a little bit of talking yourself up. You've got to talk yourself up a bit. But did you pretend you had a skill that you didn't have? Did you get caught out?

Was it sweet? Do you not regret lying at all? It's like this job. I said I knew how to do Excel. No one knows really how to use Excel. No one knows how to use Excel. No. You just hope that all the formulas are already in there.

Kind of light up. Don't move anything. Yeah. Oh, $800 at M if you've lied on your CV. Hey, feeling good? Free and Clint. Obviously, very weird times we're living in at the moment, and I feel like a lot of people out there would be redoing their CVs,

looking for other work, and going into a new chapter of their life. Yeah. And I read this article, which I thought might be helpful, which talked about how you really shouldn't lie about your references on their life. Yeah. And I read this article which I thought might be helpful which talked about how you really shouldn't lie about your references on your resume or your CV because if they find out, they can pretty much... Well, it's quite easy to find out because most references don't want to lie on your behalf.

Like if they ring up your old boss and they say, they've told us that they're good at video editing and you go, no, they're useless. Then it's over. So lie about the stuff you can control. Pretend to be your boss. Yeah. We've asked, are you willing to tell us that you have lied on your CV? And what was it about?

And what was it about? And we've got some people who have called through. First person is Marnie. Hi, Marnie. Hi, Marnie. Hi, guys. How are you doing? Good.

How are you? I'm real good. Thank you. That's good. Was it you that told a little lie on your CV? Well, you know, sometimes a little white lie doesn't do so much damage yet. I'd have to agree. Depends on what it is, though. What was it? Well, my partner and I tried to move to the Netherlands and I had to have like three years experience being an au pair and, you know, you just pop in some family members

or you've watched their kids for like three hours, you're like a full-time au pair. So it was just like a few entries that I had to like, you know, say, oh, that I couldn't really call for. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Make up those hours, yeah. But I do have experience and I can't really call for. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Make up those hours. But I do have experience and I'm still in the job. So an au pair, you're like a full-time child carer, right?

That's what an au pair does. You're like a live-in nanny? Yeah. Not live-in, but we're technically live-in. We live on a farm, but yeah, it's such amazing people. And yeah, I watch their kids and drive them around, take them to sports, everything. So how much of it was a lie? Yeah, did you have had you had you met a kid um

no i'm really good with kids i just had like a year and i had to have three years oh okay all right yeah yeah yeah you're in the ballpark and it was okay you never got caught you didn't lose your job or anything no not at all they're actually you. And it was okay? You never got caught? You didn't lose your job or anything? No, not at all. They're actually, you know, well, it was family members that were my references. So they were saying that I'm really good and, you know, couldn't like stop. Yeah. All right, Marnie, you get a pass from us, okay? You're all good.

You stick in there. Well done. You're fine. Let's go to Casey. Hi, Casey. Hi, Casey. Hi. Did you lie to an employer?

I did, yes. I was at a job interview, actually, and I made a small lie during the interview, yes. What did you lie about? So I had recently lost my license about a week before this job interview, and during the job interview, he asked me if I drive and if I drive to work every day. Oh, no. And I said yes that I do because I was yeah too embarrassed to admit it and then literally for the next six months at that job I had to avoid every single question about driving and my license

and how I got to work that day etc. Did you carry car keys into work? Yeah yeah yeah oh yes I did I well I carried keys that did have my car key on it, but I just used them to get into my house, basically. But my car key was still on it, yeah. Yeah, good. Okay, well, so long as you made it through, then you're okay. There you go, got through it. And anonymous, this person doesn't want to be named, but that's fine. Hello, anonymous.

Hello. Hello, hello. Was it you that lied on your CV? A little bit, yeah. I may have gotten a little bit of trouble prior to looking for work. Ended up getting a bracelet around my ankle and a curfew. Oh, no. You were on home arrest.

Yeah, you could say that. You could say that because you were? Yeah. Sorry? Could you say that because you were? Okay, okay. I don't know if we want to know what the crime is, do we? It's nothing bad at all, honestly. You don't know if we want to know what the crime is, do we? It's nothing bad at all, honestly.

You don't think it's bad? It's going to be decriminalised and legalised. Oh, okay. Sweet, now we know what it is. That's fine. We can deal with that. So it's not like you were, like, breaking into people's houses or anything, you know? No, no.

Okay. The worst thing I would do would break into your fridge. Hey, that ain't a crime in my house. Right, okay. Well, you get the seal of approval from us too. Well done. I think that's fine. It's a white lie.

Break into my fridge. Where's the coke? Get a celebrity... Get a sensor light put on your fridge when this person's around you. Bree and Clint. Okay, we need to address something on the show because you've said it publicly. But then I found out at the start of the show today, you haven't told your mum this thing.

Yeah, I know. It's definitely something I should have told my mum. Yeah, I think she should know. Yeah. That's my bad. Because you guys are so close as well. I know. And if she hears it from someone else, she's going to be a bit disappointed in me

and she's probably going to, you know, worry a little bit. Yeah, yeah. So let's just get her on. Let's get your mum on the show and address it. You've got to address it. All right. Mumma Di, welcome to the show. Good afternoon.

How are you? Hi, Mum. Good afternoon, beautiful people. I'm so happy to hear from you. Bree has something that she needs to tell you, and you're the last person to find this thing out because she's already told everybody on the radio. And I feel really bad about this, Mum,

and I probably should have told you, but I didn't want you to worry. Oh, did you get a dog? I wish that, I wish. Oh, did you get a dog? I wish that, I wish. Oh, I felt excited then. I know how we can do this, because you love to have a guess as well, Mama Di. Yeah, she loves a guess. How about this? Two lies and one

truth. Bree's going to tell you three things and only one of them is true, okay? Okay. Okay. Alright. The first one, I sold my car and I bought a BMW. Really? Well, maybe. Maybe.

It could be a lie. It could be the truth. The second one. Oh, little birther. The second one, I've broken my leg. Could be. Fair dinkum. If you've broken your leg, I'm going to come over there

and break the other one. Well, could be a lie. Remember, could be a lie. Could be a lie, could be the truth. And the third thing that you have to pick from, I'm getting a boob job. Bigger, perkier. Rounder.

No, I'll definitely cross that one out because you're absolutely fine in that department. Well, that's what you think. Do I think that? I have told you how I'd like to get them lifted. She did say she wants to get more Instagram followers. So now it's over to you, Mama Di. Two of those things are a lie and one is the truth.

Which one is it well I'm hoping like crazy that it's the car one and not the broken leg that's for sure because if it's the broken leg she's in serious trouble hmm serious trouble I'm gonna need you to lock one in please tell me which one of those three things you think is the truth about your daughter, Bree. I'll go the BMW.

We've got bad news. That's not it. There's no BMW. Brianna, you haven't broken your leg, have you? Fair dinkum,

Brianna. It's time to be honest with your mum. Mum, it's only a small break. It's a hairline fracture, not a big deal. Brianna, how on earth did you do that? For goodness sake. Mum, I'm at that age where I had a fall. She's not been drinking any milk.

I wasn't drinking anything. Yeah. No, I'm at that age where I had a fall. She's not been drinking any milk. I wasn't drinking anything. Yeah. No, she's not getting enough calcium. No, in all seriousness, Mum, it's stupid. I actually tripped over some stuff because I was helping our friend Dan renovate. And it didn't end. I just landed weird. And I thought I'd sprained my ankle.

I feel really awkward now because she's going to be real angry. And I fell weird but it's a hairline fracture. It's not a big deal. It'll heal fine. So you've got a moon boot have you? She will have. I will have after the cast comes off. Just so you know.

I know where that moon boot's going to go. 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.

Earlier this morning, you and I and the producers, we went to the amazing Eden Park. Delightful place. So you could take part in the Bronco. Yeah, the Broden Barrett Bronco Test. Which is like essentially like a beep test, kind of. Yeah. And we will reveal the results for that later in the show, just after five.

But when we were down there, obviously I've hurt myself so I couldn't take part and I thought, what can I do to help Clint out? And I thought, oh, I could be like his hype girl. I could take like a whistle down there and, you know, get involved, blow on my whistle. And I realised that I think I might be a really good whistleblower. About five times while we're at the thing, Bree goes,

I think I should be an umpire. And each time she said that, it was followed by an enormously ear-piercing blow on her whistle. Which means I've got good technique. Does it not? Anyway, that's why. It means you're full of hot air at least. Well, that's very true as well.

That's why I've come up with this. You're my whistle, baby. Whistle, baby, let me know. Clint, essentially the game this afternoon that I've come up with is that I believe after playing soccer or football my entire life, I should know the different types of whistles in the sport. Right, you know the subtle nuances involved in whistle blowing for different parts of the game. Exactly right.

Have you ever refereed a game? Have you ever been in behind the whistle at a game? No, but I've played plenty, and I'm hoping some of that knowledge has gone into my brain. And that's why we have Eddie on the phone, who is an actual soccer referee. Is that correct? Well, yeah, retired, but I've done it before.

Retired. Okay, that's fine. We'll take that. That means you've had the experience and you never lose that, okay? I think so, yeah. Now, Eddie, this is a very simple process and you don't need to be generous with your reviews at all. What I'm going to do is I'm going to give you different passages,

stoppages in play that would require a riff to whistle. Yep. And then Bree is going to attempt that sound and you're going to tell us whether she's got it right or not. Okay? Okay. This is all from memory. I have no idea what I'm doing,

but I feel like some, you know, muscle memory will come back. Okay. Here we go. Okay, I'm just going to stand away from the microphone because it's quite loud. Yeah. Do you want to give the whistle a test? Cool. It's working. it's quite loud. Yeah. Do you want to give the whistle a test? Cool.

It's working. Pretty good. It's working. The first whistle sound I would like from you, Bree, for a soccer football game is kickoff, start of play, the very beginning of the game. How does that sound on a referee's whistle? Okay. Hold on.

Let me channel all those referees in tight shorts that I used to look. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Eddie, is that the correct sound? That was pretty good. Maybe slightly long, but pretty good. Okay, I'll take that.

We'll give you pretty good. Did you see the amount of saliva that came out of the whistle? I actually was quite impressed with that technique. You were? Yeah. Okay, give us a half-time whistle, okay? Everybody needs to go back into the shed. Stop, play down for half-time.

I feel like half-time, quite similar to the start. Okay, hold on. See how I pushed the whistle down there? Mm, rounded off differently. Eddie, is that the sound for halftime? Yeah, the middle, the start was good. The end seemed a bit weird, but other than that, the middle was good.

Okay, I'll take that. I'll take that from the professional soccer referee. Okay, Eddie, two more. We want a penalty. You've got to stop the game. There's been a penalty. Someone's done a slide tackle. Okay, slide tackle.

It's happened to me quite a few times. Yeah, spot on Yes, Eddie Yes They don't sound that different to me None of them sound that different I think if you look back on the replay, very different Okay, the final one I want

You just don't have the air, mate Maybe I'm not the guy The final one I want is full time Wrap the game up, much like this segment I want you to end it right now. All right, I'm channeling you, Eddie. I'm channeling your energy. This is where I really need it to wrap it up here.

This is the end of a soccer game. No other sort of game. Soccer. Okay. Mm-hmm. Beep. Beep. Beep.

I think I got it. Brilliant made for it. That was perfect. Yes! Yay! Yay! Brilliant made for it That was perfect Yes I feel like I've just found my true calling Eddie Whistling Yeah

Amazing That was Appreciate that Eddie Thank you for your help Thank you for all your support Yeah we really appreciate it Let's have a game of Oh no Oh no what did you do No I'm good I'm. Let's have a game of... Oh, no.

Oh, no. What did you do? No, I'm good. I'm good. Let's have a game of... No. Oh, no. What happened?

Let's have a game of the Nickname Origins. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. Nickname Origins. All right. Pretty simple game. It's where you guys call us up. You tell us what your nickname is. And then you and I, Clint, will try and guess where you're going from.

Yeah. The best origin story is the one that wins the free fuel. Let's start with Ripeka. Kia ora, welcome to the show. G'day. Hello, thank you. First off, let's start with your nickname. Wait, what was my nickname? Yeah, what's your nickname?

Bugsy. Bugsy. Bugsy. Bugsy. B-U-G-Z-Y. She loves a carrot. She loves a carrot. I reckon there's two obvious options. Big ears or big teeth. Oh, that's not very nice. No, not all nicknames are nice. In fact, the meaner the nickname, the more likely it is to stick sometimes. Yeah, well, that's obvious. That's obvious. Oh, she's giving us a clue. Maybe she's trying to...

Bugsy, Bugsy, Bugsy. I reckon it's the teeth. You reckon it's the teeth? Yeah. Okay. Lily Picker, do they call you Bugsy because you've got a big set of front teeth? Yeah, they did.

Oh, that's not nice. Okay, wait there. Those big teeth might have won you some free mobile fuel. Let's go to Nicole. Hi, Nicole. Hi, Nicole. Hi, how are you going? Good, how are you?

Good, good. That's good. What's your nickname? Sticky. Sticky. Sticky. S-T-I-K-Y. Oh, okay.

There's interesting spelling. Because I would have gone, she's stick thin. She's thin. Yeah. Yeah. Either that or she hasn't washed much and she clings to the vinyl seats. Or she's a beekeeper and often she gets sticky from all the honey. Yeah, but there's no C.

Where's the clue in that bit? Yeah, that's true. Sticky with no C. S-T-I-K-Y. Maybe she loves to play fetch. Yep. Maybe she likes to play fetch. No.

I think it's the thin. You think it's the thin thing? I think she's fetch. Nah. I think it's the thin. You think it's the thin thing? I think she's skinny. Yeah, I think that's it. Sticky, do they call you sticky because you're stick thin? Uh, no. I wish. Don't we all? Why do they call you sticky? Because I'm

always getting myself into sticky situations. I tend to have a no filter mouth. Oh, very good. Okay, no, that's a good nickname. One more. Missy's here. Hi, Missy. Hi, Missy. Hey, how you going? Good, how are you? Good, good. What's your nickname, Missy?

Pussy. Sorry, what? Pardon? Pussy. Pussy. Okay, we were just checking we heard it. No, we know how to spell it. Wow, okay. Interesting checking we heard it. No, we know how to spell it. Yeah, yeah. Wow, okay. Interesting.

She's scared. She's a scaredy cat. She's scared, yeah. And she's a bit of a pussy. Yeah. Yeah, so she's a bit scared. Yeah, she's a big scaredy cat. I feel like that's the only safe word.

Oh, God, what else are you going to say? Or. No, here we are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's a big cat lover. She's a big cat lover. Okay. Loves cats. Got heaps of cats. She's a big cat lover. She's a big cat lover. Okay. Loves cats.

Got heaps of cats. She's a pussy lover. Heaps of pusses. Which one are we going to log in? I reckon she's a cat lover. All right, Missy. Do they call you pussy because you love cats? I do love cats, but that's not the reason. What's the reason?

When I lived in London, I went on the Jonathan Ross show and the hype guy at the start needed a volunteer to do the chocolate biscuit challenge on stage. And when I said my name's Missy in my Kiwi accent, he heard pussy and just pulled me out the whole night. Holy moly, that is a good story. Yeah, right. Okay, well, we've got a tough choice.

We've got Bugsy, Pussy and Sticky. I love that Missy's name when you put it all together is Missy Pussy. Yeah, right. She's got it. Congratulations, Missy Pussy. You've won yourself some free mobile fuel. Yay, thank you. That's nickname Origins. That's how it works. won yourself some free mobile fuel. Yay, thank you. That's nickname Origins, that's how it works.

We play it every single week. Oh my god, that was so good. Look, in any relationship there are moments when you have the chance to come together. No, wait, that's the wrong way to say that. Can we get HR in here please? No, we'll

breeze past that. In any relationship, you have the opportunity to do things as... Or force the other one... Together. To take part in something they don't want to ever take part in. Sure, that's one way to look at it. Like when you said to me, I want to go to Los Angeles and try and find Channing Tatum. And I said, I'm with you, Bree.

I want to do that with you. Or like when you said, I want to buy a half van, half ute, call it the Venute and drive it halfway down the country. You said, of course you can pay for it out of your own money, Brie. But I'll do that with you. I said to you, we should run a Bronco test and see if we can beat Bowdoin Barrett's record breaking time of 4 minutes and 12

seconds. And I said, oh, that sounds horrible, but if you want to do it then yeah, okay, let's do it. And then mysteriously the day before the test, you show up to it with a broken leg. Can't believe you're still on this. I'm just putting the facts out there. So today I had to run the Bronco by myself. But didn't you want to do it in the first place?

I wanted to do it with you because... You're such a victim, aren't you? I wanted to do it with you because... You wanted to beat me. That was part of it. To make yourself feel good about yourself. No, I wanted to do it together. I wanted to do it together so because... You wanted to beat me. That was part of it? To make yourself feel good about yourself. No, I wanted to do it together. Admit it.

I wanted to do it together so we had a shared experience. No, admit the real reason. Well, I can't beat Bowdoin Barrett's time, so I thought if at least you were there, I wouldn't be last. But that's a by-product. That's a fun bit along the journey. Anyway... A fun bit for you.

I'm accepting your assertion that the broken leg is real. And I'm going to take it at face value. And I manned up and I did the Bronco by myself today. That's absolutely fine. I've done it by myself. Yeah, you seem like you're really taking it well. We're headed to Eden Park this morning. The wonderful Eden Park, what a venue.

The new home of Bowdoin Barrett and the Blues. And on the field where we've experienced so many sporting moments, I took on the Bronco Challenge, which for those who don't know, is a running test where you run 20 metres

and back, 40 metres and back, and then 60 metres and back, five times. It's basically hell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's horrible. Why do people want to do these things? To test themselves.

No. That's what you do as an athlete. I'll test how many doughnuts I can eat. I have to admit, I probably came in underprepared. On reflection, I don't think I quite had the stamina required to give the test my all. I think you had belief, though. That's one thing you do have where you think usually most of the time

you have all the confidence in the world. Thank you. Which can be a blessing but also can be a curse. So Bowdoin's time is, what was Bowdoin's time? Bowdoin's time was 4 minutes and 12 seconds. And it's the fastest Bronco that any New Zealand rugby player has ever run. Apparently, yes. Apparently.

Until now. Possibly. I don't know my time. I asked you guys to keep that a secret from me. So I don't know my time and we're going to find this out live on the radio together. I feel bad. Can I just say, I just want to say, I just want to set some levels of my expectations before you put it out there, okay?

Okay. I know I'm probably not going to beat Bowdoin Barrett, but if I get something with a four in the front of it, I'll be happy. Okay, so if you're in that four-minute range. Yeah, I'll be happy. Okay. If I get something around a four in the front of it, I'll be happy. Okay, so if you're in that four-minute range. Yeah, I'll be happy. Okay. If I get something around the 4.30 mark, I'll be ecstatic because then I know I've only got a little bit of a way to go to beat them.

Okay. You know? So without further ado, do you have the number? I've got the number sitting in front of me. Without further ado, I would like to know my Bronco number. Clinton Paul Roberts, you've got the results and today you ran the Bronco

in a time of 12 minutes and 32 seconds. You're lying. You're lying. Okay, that was a joke. You're lying. That's a joke.

Oh, that's awful because I believed that it could be true. Believe in yourself, Clint. Believe in yourself. I knew it wasn't actually that. No, but see, now when I tell you the real time, you're going to feel good about it. Yeah, okay. Reset, reset, reset, reset, reset.

Swear on my life this will be the real time. Okay, swear on your life. I don't do that. This is the real Bronco time. Okay, this is the real time. Clint, you ran the Bronco in. Seven minutes, 14 seconds, 97 milliseconds. Are you serious?

I'm dead serious. Seven minutes. I mean, it's pretty good. It's nearly double Boat of Barrens. It's got a four in it to set the wrong end. It does, yeah. All right, guys. We've got some work-ons.

Pretty exciting over the last weekend that the NRL was back up and running and even more exciting, the Warriors. What a game. What a game. They started with a win. Absolutely killed it. Yeah. Which is exciting.

We're all officially Warriors fans now, by the way. Yeah, absolutely. We're on board the bandwagon. 100%. We've always had the faith, but now especially we've got the faith. No, it was really good to see, and it was awesome that there was some sport to watch again. Yeah. I think anyone who loves sport, even if you don't like league, would have tuned into that and gone,

I just need something competitive where I don't know what the outcome's going to be. Please, I can't watch another replay. Bring it on. Which you and I were talking about this yesterday, Clint, where obviously there's no crowds in the stadiums. No, they're empty for COVID. Yeah, which, you know, obviously the teams are still playing, but no crowds, which kind of changes the vibe quite a lot for teams.

Massively. Yeah, yeah. You don't have that crowd energy to go off. It's like you're the Foo Fighters and you have to play to an empty stadium. Yeah, strange. It'd be strange because there's no energy to go off. Sport's a bit different, but still I think it would have an effect. Which is why we obviously realise that the crowd

kind of cheering and kind of stuff that they put on TV is obviously not real. It's fake. Currently, yeah. They've added it in. They're dubbing over, and they're not lying about it. They're just going, the games are too weird without crowd noise, so we're going to dub in crowd noise. Which I'm okay with that. Like a fake

laugh track or something. I'm fine with that. Do you want to hear a bit of it? Yeah, this is a bit from the weekend that we've got. See if you can tell that this is... Not a real crowd. Not a real crowd. Here is Blake Green at the line going past Blake. Good hands. Nick Arima and Ali Katoa.

He crashes across the line. This young tearaway. It's pretty impressive. I think so. And maybe it's just because I know. I'm like, oh, it sounds a little bit different. But I mean, same, same. That's pretty impressive. I think so. And maybe it's just because I know. I'm like, oh, it sounds a little bit different. But I mean, same, same. It's good enough.

Same, same. Once you get into the flow of it. Yeah. Because they also, they change it. It's not just constant crowd din in the background. It's like up and down. They cheer for tries. They go, ooh, for 10 spits.

Technically, it is a real crowd, but it's just not at that game. Yeah. But they've taken it from a different game. Yeah, it's kind of like FIFA. Yeah, kind of like that. I thought, could we do this for our show? Because obviously we don't have a crowd. We never have a crowd in here in the studio.

No. But could we do something where we add canned laughter? Oh, like everybody loves Raymond. Yeah, exactly. Yes. Like the Big Bang Theory. Or Friends or you know those TV sitcoms where they put in canned laughter. Which actually I find

very helpful. Friends is filmed in front of a live audience but a lot of them are put in there as fake. Because you get those shows and you take away the laugh track, it's very awkward because sometimes you don't know where to laugh. Oh my god, yeah. Is that what our show is? Very awkward you don't know when to laugh. That, my God, yeah. So is that what our show is? Very awkward, you don't know when to laugh.

That's what our show sounds like all the time. So how would we simulate it? So I've got producer Ben to grab something we were talking about a couple of months, oh, I think it was like a month ago, and he's just added in laughs and gasps that are all fake, but let's see how it sounds. Okay, so this is our show. With fake canned laughter.

Okay. What would you rather be bit on the penis or be bit on the ball? You had to pick one. I mean, I can't comment because I don't have either. Yeah. I'd say... What's the worst? What's worse?

I'd say pants. Like, I don't want to choose... You'd rather be bit on the pants. Yeah, on the pants. Really? Yeah, yeah. To be fair, I'd rather be bit on the S. Well, the B...

The S. Yeah, the BBs. What's the S? The S. Wait, the S is different to the P? Or the B Scott. Wait, the S is different to the P? Or the B? I mean, the S is different to the B? The Bs sit in the S.

Inside the S. Wait, the skin has its own name? Yeah. It's its own thing. Yeah, yeah. It's not the same. No. Really?

Yeah. Someone would think we're talking about, like, salt and peppering food or something. Upon review, probably not the right. It definitely made that break better. But that wasn't hard. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday.

It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, time to see what song was number one on these three people's 16th birthdays. Jenna, good afternoon. Hello, Jenna. Hi, guys. How are you?

Not too bad. How are you? Not too bad. Thanks, Jenna. Let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 21st of August, 99. All right.

You were 16 in 2015 on? 21st of August, 99. Alright, you were 16 in 2015 on the 25th of August. And Jenna, this is your birthday banger. Nobody can drag me down. The boys. One B. Were you a directioner?

No, I was a Justin Babel fan but that's a pretty good song. Yeah, right. Okay. You're on the Babers or you're on the Directioners. Or is it one or the other? You couldn't be both. I don't know. Exactly.

Yeah, see, Jenna's like, can't be both. Yeah, first rule of Justin Bieber Club, no other clubs. That's fine. Let's go to Rohan. Hey, Rohan. Hi, Rohan. Hey, guys. How's it going?

Good. How are you, mate? Great, thank you. That's very good. What's your birthday? 24th of November, 94. All right. You were 16 in 2010 on the 24th of November.

And back in 2010, this had a number one hit. Baby, you're a firework. Yes, Rohan. Can I ask, Rohan, do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Do you like your birthday banger? Does it suit you? I am loving it, to be honest. You're loving it.

Okay, that's great. Yes, Rohan. Good. My man. Takes a big man to accept Katy Perry Firework as his birthday banger. That's a great song. And Rohan is that man. We'll do one more for Joel.

Hi, Joel. Hi, Joel. Hey, how's it going, team? Good. How are you, mate? Good, good,anger. That's a great song. And Rohan is that man. We'll do one more for Joel. Hi, Joel. Hi, Joel. Hey, how's it going, team? Good. How are you, mate? Good, good, good. That's good. Whereabouts are you calling from?

Just making my way home on the shore. Oh, yeah, cool. Nice work. What's your birthday, Joel? 17th of November, 1986. All right. You were 16 in 2002 on the 17th of November. And, Joel, here's your birthday banger.

Is this you, Joel, down in the Vida? Oh, you know it. In the mid-2000s? Yeah. Dropping it low? Who doesn't drop it low to this song? Right? I can just picture Joel in a pair of those arseless chaps

that Christina wore in the music video. Is that a bit of you, Joel? That's it. That's it. You know it. Hey, I'm here for that. Well, we've picked almost, apart from if it was Justin Bieber for Jenna, the perfect birthday banger for all of our guests today.

They really suit everyone, don't they? Three great songs. We can only play one. Katie Perry, One Direction, or Christina Aguilera, What Does Your Heart Say? That Dirty Song is one of my all-time favourite pop songs. I just think it was huge. And Joel loved it.

And Joel loved it. And I don't think it's ever come up in Birthday Banger before. The Katy Perry song is quite good. Also really good. And I love that song too. It's 10 years old, that song. I can't believe that's 10 years old. So it's a real flashback.

And Rohan was getting into it too, you know? That Dirty song's nearly 20 years old. Yeah, right. Wild. Joel, just because you were 16 nearly 20 years ago, we're going to play your birthday banger this afternoon. Congratulations. Yes, Joel.

Yes. Oh, thank you very much. Can you just kick us off? Can you just say, hi, I'm Joel, and I'm too dirty to clean my act up? We'll give you the floor. Hang on. Let's give you the floor. Okay, everybody, here he is.

Hi, I'm Joel, and I'm too dirty to clean my act up. It's perfect. Uh-huh. We'll be right back. Coming through. People dancing, plastic, a fashion show No questions, time for some action I should still put your soul down to the road My girls, get your boys, gonna make some noise Gonna get the party, gonna get a little party Get it right up in the heart Gonna get the party, get your boys out Gonna get the party,in' over my body

Dance like it's a little naughty Don't make it too late, it's about time for my own Ah, heat is up, these ladies and fellas drive me nuts Body's packed, run to fast I move your ass, I like that Slippin' hip hop, it's a dope for sure Shake a little something on the floor I like that All you got, just hit the spot My girls, get your boys, gonna make some noise Rollin', wanna get a little far

Wanna get dirty, get to the bottom, oh, oh Here it comes, it's the one you've been waiting on Get up, get it rough, yo, that's what's up Give it just what you love to the maximum, uh-oh

Here we go, here we go, one, two, three, and the music starts to drop That's when we take it to the parking lot And I bet you somebody's gonna call the cops Uh-oh, here we go, here we go Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah It's gonna get wilder and wilder, yeah Moonlight, moonlight, fire, vinegar Honey, honey, honey, honey

It's gonna get wilder and wilder, yeah It's gonna get wilder and wilder, yeah It's gonna get wilder and wilder, yeah I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party

I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party I came to start the party. Let's get dirty. Party. Let's get dirty. Party. Let's get dirty. It's about time for my party. Party.

Let's get dirty. Party. Let's get dirty. Party. Let's get dirty. It's about time that I come to start the party. Party. Let's get dirty. Party.

Let's get dirty. Party. Let's get dirty I wanna get dirty ZM, Brie and Clint What? Iconic. That's Joel's birthday banger, Christina Aguilera and Dirty. No regrets on that one at all. We're having a debate during that song to try and figure out whether that is Christina's biggest song ever.

It was huge. I thought surely it is. It was the first song she released on the album Stripped and it's when she came out as Xtina. Yeah, and she did the Naked Rolling Stone cover with the guitar and she had the dreads and she was the bad version of Britney, right? That's not her

biggest song. That song is the fifth biggest song that she's ever released. The fifth? Fifth. She's got four songs that charted higher than that. Surely Beautiful is in there. So number four is this song here. Oh, banger. Lady Marmalade. Even then,

only number four. What's the three? It's gotta be Beautiful, Fighter. What's the other one? Number three, Jenny in a Bottle. Let's trap in for a disappointing top two, by the way. Why? Now, Christina's second biggest hit is not even her song.

It's by A Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera. I mean, yeah, I did like that song, but that's... Yeah, right. And Christina Aguilera's biggest song of all time. Yeah. You're shitting me. Her collaboration with Maroon 5. This is the biggest song.

Christina Aguilera's highest charting song ever. What about Candyman? What about The Voice Within? Candyman's number eight. What about... Where did you say Beautiful was? Beautiful's number six. Number six! And Pitbull and Christina Aguilera feel this moment is number seven.

This list is bullshit. You know what it is? I think it was a different time back then. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Ladies and gentlemen, we're very happy to have on the show this afternoon the star of the new TVNZ show, Big in Japan, Konnichiwa, Rhys Darby. Yay!

Hey! Oka-to-gozaimasu! Ohayou-gozaimasu! Osa-do-masai! Was that a good intro? You've done a lot of these interviews now. Was that a good professional level intro? I think it was pretty good.

Yeah, I'm happy with that. Yeah, good. Rhys, I wanted to add something in because I'm Australian. I wanted to add something in about the latest famous person we're very happy to claim as Australian, Rhys Darby. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's good too. Well, that would have worked.

That would work too. How are you going? How's things for you? Well, you know, fine considering the world. That would work too. How are you going? How's things for you? Well, you know, fine considering the world right now, but yeah. Are you calling us from Japan? No, I'm here in New Zealand. I've been here since the beginning of the COVID nightmare. The new show starts this week on TVNZ1.

It's called Big in Japan, and it's where you travel from the bottom to the very top of Japan. You're exploring the weirdest side of Japan on the TV show. What is the weirdest thing you did while you were there? Oh, good question. So many weird things. Well, I mean, it's pretty weird to even attempt to wrestle a sumo wrestler when you're not a sumo wrestler.

It seems silly. Now, I did that. Yeah. But I did it. I gave it a good whirl. When you were in Japan, did you learn any Japanese swear words? No, no, because I don't believe

in swearing. You don't believe in swearing at all? Even in Japanese? No, I'm joking, of course. But no, I didn't have time to learn foul language. I was struggling enough as it was to learn polite language over there. You know, it's a different world.

Very exciting. I wanted to ask because my favourite reboots of all time is the new Jumanji films that you obviously star in and do an amazing job. And technically you are a tour guide in those movies. Did they know when they booked you for this show that you weren't an actual tour guide? Yes, of course.

But they know how versatile I am and they know how real I make my role. I believed it. I can do anything. I believed it. Can we get a, it's my favourite line in the whole movie where you go, hello and welcome to Jumanji. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll change it slightly to promote the new show. You ready? Perfect, perfect. Even better, even better. Welcome to Japan. Oh, it's so good. See, there you go. Rhys Darby, thank you so much.

The new show, Big in Japan, starts TVNZ1 Thursday night at 8.45. Thanks for talking to us, Rhys. See you soon. See you, Rhys. No worries. Thanks, guys. Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint, that's noted.

Am I on? Yeah, you're on. Oh, sorry, the headphone thing's broken. Hang on. Switch over to that. There we are. Oh, yeah, we are on. Hey, you're on.

Is that what I sound like? Hi, welcome to the show, everybody. It's Bree and Clint. There is a new TikTok challenge going around at the moment, and I saw you attempted it over the long weekend, Bree. Yes. Essentially, people are trying to slice the top of a beer bottle off with a knife. No, so that's what people think, but it's not actually what you want.

Okay. It's meant to be that you're meant to, with a butter knife, actually hook underneath the top of a beer bottle so the cap pops off. Yeah, right. People end up cutting the top of the beer bottle so the cap pops off. Yeah, right. People end up cutting the top of the beer bottle off. People now are just going straight for the smash, aren't they? Yeah, which is very dangerous and we're telling you don't do it at home. Don't do that.

Don't do it at home because it ruins the beer. Yeah, it definitely does. In saying that, here's some audio of Bree smashing the top off. Probably beer. Oh, shit. It's gone bloody viral. It has gone bloody viral. Yeah.

So I thought, you're now experienced. I wouldn't say that. And I want to be able to do this. Yep, right. So why don't we have a go at this live on air? Okay. All right, we both have Heineken beer bottles in front of us. Yep. And we both have butter knives.

Yep. And we will attempt to, the goal is to knock the cap off. Knock the cap off the beer. Not chop the top of the beer off. And we believe that the taps, they're just showmanship, right? That's all for show. I don't believe it's got anything to do with it. Okay.

So do you want to go first or do you want me to go first? I'm happy to go first. And how many goes are we getting each? I think we go three attempts each or else we'll be here all night. And the winner wins half a dozen beers from the loser. Oh, okay. Well, you still owe me that $100, so we'll take that out of that. Put it on the tab.

Here we go. Okay, all right. I'll go first me that $100, so we'll take that out of that. Put it on the tab. Here we go. Okay, all right. I'll go first. So four taps and then we swipe. But hold on, wait. Before we go, so obviously if you go first, that means I get at least, and you get it, I get at least one attempt. Yes, definitely.

Right, okay. All right. Here we go. Away you go. I missed. I didn't even bloody touch it. That was very lacklustre. Are you meant to hold the bottle? Hold it. Hold the bottle. I mean, some people do it without holding it. It's very impressive, but I hold it. All right, you're up. You're up. You're up. All

right, here we go. Oh, you really thrust at that thing. You've got to get into it. You've got to be confident. Okay, here we go. My second attempt. All this radio equipment's waterproof, eh? We're all good? Yeah, no, it's all waterproof. No, not even close. Are you using the sharp side of the knife or the blunt side? Oh, you can use either or.

It's up to you. I'm going to take my headphones off because it's getting in the way of my thrusting. Yeah, right, okay. All right, here we go. Tap number two. No. No, but there's a lot of fizz in that bottle now. Yeah, it's very frothy.

If you just joined us, we're trying to do the TikTok challenge where you pop the top of a beer with a knife. Have we ever sounded older? No. No, we sound young because we're doing the TikTok stuff. Yeah, we're so cool. Alright, this is your last attempt. After this we're going to do a dance challenge. This is your last attempt. I'm savage. Okay, here we go. Last attempt. Okay. Now I really want you, you need to go

for it. Yeah, I will go for it. But also be careful because I don't want you to hurt yourself. Here's a secret. I've been going for it. Good luck, Clint. Alright, go. Ahhhh! I've been going for it. Good luck, Clint. All right, go. It's perfect. It's perfect.

Got it. It's not broken. It's perfect. Put it on the carpet. Put it on the table. Put it in my mouth. Okay, you've got one attempt. You've got one attempt.

You can't break it. This is so much pressure now, isn't it? Yeah. Okay. Up, up, up. Got it. There's beer fizzing out, but the top did not come off. Hey!

I'm going to do my beer. Bree and Clint. Story out today about Lizzie. Lizzie? Yeah. Maguire? No, not Lizzie Maguire. The Queen. Oh, the other Lizzie. Lizzie? Yeah. Maguire? No, not Lizzie Maguire. The Queen.

Oh, the other Lizzie. Elizabeth. Yeah. She... Love Lizzie. Yeah, she's a good time. I mean, how old is she now? She's in her 90s.

She is in her 90s. She's just, you know... Do you want a quick age game, the Queen? Just between you and me. 93. 94. Okay. How old is Queen Elizabeth?

Queen Elizabeth is 94. There you go. I mean, you know your queen. She came out and actually talked about how, you know, obviously she's wore makeup for a lot of her life and she said that she uses three main things these days. The three main things these days. The three main things out of her mouth. Let me guess.

Thin Lizzy? Oh, mate. That's good gear that I did not plan for. Sorry. Jesus. No, that wasn't one. Thick Lizzy. Kind of.

No, you be careful. I'm just saying. No, you be careful one. Oh, well, kind of, kind of. No, I bet you be careful. I'm just saying. No, you be careful. Okay, sorry, Karen. It made me think about which of the three items I would pick out of my makeup bag if I could only have three. Okay, what were hers? What are her three items? So hers, she said she always uses compact powder.

Like a thin Lizzie? Yeah, essentially. Yeah. Like one of those. A powder blush. So something on the cheeks. Yeah. Like a pink color.

Yeah. And a cream lipstick. So a lipstick. Yeah, right. So the powder, the blush, and a lipstick are her three things. I feel like that's all you need. No. I feel like that'll get you through.

I would completely disagree. Right. Okay. Well, lay it on me. And that's why I want to get the other person on the show who actually knows something about makeup. Hello. Oh, your mic's not on.

Hello. Now, you can comment on this too, Producer Ellie. Yeah. Because I was thinking this is quite interesting to hear what would be the three items from woman to woman that you would pick if you could only have three yeah yeah see i'm surprised that she's done nothing with the eye area yes yeah me too yeah because i think my number one before anything ready on three one two three mascara

i know what it is i know exactly what it's going to be. That's my second. I thought you were going to say eyebrows. Okay. But it's mascara. That's fine. So you've got one each so far. You've got mascara and you've got...

No, I think she was picking for me. Yeah, I was. I thought she was going to say brows because I know how much you love brows. That's my second. Yeah, right. Okay. What's yours? What's the two for you?

It would be a powder, like a foundation just to cover the skin and mascara, I think. You can have three. What's yours? What's the two for you? It would be a powder, like a foundation just to cover the skin, and mascara, I think. You can have three. Oh, see, I'm tossing up between brows or like a colour to the cheeks like the Queen. What is more obvious? I think I need to put brows on. Ellie and I have the exact same throat. Okay, this has been very unclear for Ben and I, by the way. Can you each list your three items so we're clear?

So the first one, do you agree? Foundation. Yeah. Which is I'd probably pick a liquid or a powder either. Either or, yeah. Which gives you coverage on the face. Cool. Foundation.

Got it. Yes, that would be the first. That's the foundation. Yes. And then the second, lay good foundation. Lay good foundation. And then lay good foundation. Lay good foundation, use foundation. And then the second one would be eyebrows. Something to pencil

in your eyebrows. Going straight to the, I call it face skirting. But yep, straight to that. Because you need good structure and eyebrows give you that. And then the third one would be mascara. It is the crowning jewel. Yeah, I agree.

It literally takes you from looking like you're dead to making you look alive. Seriously, yeah. Not to tell you guys how to suck eggs, but so you're just going to go straight foundation, no powder over that whatsoever. Just be full cake face. How do you know anything about that? I'm just saying. I'm just seeing you very one tone at the moment.

It's very hard to get any kind of contouring or definition with just a foundation on there. You talk about structure being important. I just see you as a cake face at the moment. Can we get a siren that sounds every time Clint mansplains something? I feel like the speakers would be blown out right now out I'll tell you what a good siren is I'll help you find the siren Oh yeah I bet you will
