Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast, a bit of Facebook page admin, which we carry out here because most people in our podcast Facebook page listen to the podcast, it's self-evident, right? That is the point of the page. I had to send Ellie a message, first thing, I think I messaged you at like 6.30 this morning, Ellie, and you'll be happy, I got Ellie to remove another Big Bang Theory fanatic from the page. Let's get rid of all those people. Yeah, but we can't until they surface. Yeah, until they post. Until they post, yeah. Because, because...
Starting point is 00:00:29 Until they surface, like they're hiding in the shadows. Yeah, lurking. They're scared now. Yeah, they should be. The reason we're at this place is Bree left the name of the Facebook page as it was for way too long.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Yeah. And it attracted actual Big Bang Theory fans. I wasn't and still am not an admin. Yeah, but you put no effort into changing the name. We ran the poll. We ran that poll on the page and then we still didn't use what people voted for, did we? Why can't you just be an admin? Just be an admin.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Because Clint decided we just need to call it something boring. What do you want? The name's changed. Yeah, it's a good name, mate. Yeah, right. We've got 28 days before we can change it again. With that attitude, I say we change it back. Yeah, nice.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Oh, I don't care anymore. Today on the podcast, oh, I never tell you what's on the podcast. Why am I starting today? Anything else anyone wants to add? Anyone else? Ben's got his feet up on the desk. He's checked out. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Did I tell you guys last week I nearly, nearly, I'm not joking, was that close to hitting a cyclist? Oh, this is exciting. Yeah, legit. So I was on K Road. On purpose or accident? Were you on the cycle? Shut up and listen.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Were you driving or were you punching a cyclist? I was driving. Were you biking to workist? I was driving And it was on K Road And I I think I was driving home actually Where else were you? I don't know, I think I don't know where I was coming from
Starting point is 00:01:55 Anyway I was driving home And I was in the left hand lane And then there was a turning lane On my right hand side I hate when people describe directions because I don't know left and right. Okay. Who cares? There's a cyclist on the side of your car.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Anyway, so I had a green light and then the person who was in the turning lane had a red light. Next minute, so I couldn't see anything because there's a big turning lane so all these cars are covering my view. As I'm driving through the intersection, this cyclist, and I don't want to, like, whatever, but, like, it looked like someone who'd been drinking for, like, the last four days in a row. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:02:33 And they were on their bike. Don't worry, they're not a minority. You can say things about them. Well, they looked like someone. I think we were going to go, I don't want to say anything, but they looked like they were from Europe. They looked like they were from europe they looked like they've been drinking anyway they would drive they were cycling just across the bloody intersection and i literally i'm not joking i slam my brakes on so hard my what's the name window wipers no what's it called when the airbags my abs brakes came on and it like yeah like locks up and then i also swerved
Starting point is 00:03:04 and no joke missed them by like 10 centimeters damn you're like vin diesel and fast and the furious i literally was like holy shit that was some good driving yeah right yeah i couldn't believe it i was like what are you doing yeah do you know i've heard if that person's that bad a cyclist i've heard that you're actually better to be drunk in an accident like that because your body relaxes your relaxer doesn't so you don't yeah so you don't like you don't fracture as much and your body just kind of goes with it you're drunk and you the car hits you and you're just like chill out man your body's like this is fine but that's why
Starting point is 00:03:39 drunk people tend to have less injuries right if they like fall off something or no I think drunk people have more injuries because they are in situations where they can get injured more but but no but i know what you're saying you know what i mean like if you're drunk that applies to a lot of things because you're just like so relaxed like how you see like people in the viaduct in auckland falling down a flight of stairs those people are going to work on monday whereas if you and i went and threw ourselves down a flight of stairs in the Viaduct. No work for us. No work for us.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Crutches. Do you remember, it was last year, the Radio Awards, and did you fall down the stairs that went into the bathrooms at the Radio Awards? No. Oh, they're so dangerous. No joke. Every single person.
Starting point is 00:04:21 I sat there and watched for 20 minutes. And no joke, every second person fell down those stairs. I was one of them. I also fell up the stairs, which was quite a big achievement. Do you remember seeing my toe after that? No. I had a bruise from my pinky toe. I obviously broke it.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Did you break your toe? Yeah, that took up. Hold on. I've got to find the video for you now. So when was, wait, when was Radio Awards? May, last year or something? June. Yeah, June. June, I think.
Starting point is 00:04:53 You look for that. The first time I met Ben's ex-girlfriend, she fell down a flight of stairs at Degree Bar. Didn't you catch her? No, she was holding a full pint and she went down nine stairs and she didn't spill a drop. Oh, love it.
Starting point is 00:05:09 That's right. And at that point I went, marry that girl, Ben. She's marriage material. Yeah. Brie, it was 23rd of June, just so you know. This is the video I took the next day of my toe and I don't remember doing it because I was drunk. Oh, yeah, that's definitely oh isn't that up you've got a this the bruise is like the size of like a large watch oh and there's
Starting point is 00:05:35 a video you've taken of um moses from soleil mio's crotch that's personal Did you do that? That's personal Alright, this is a long intro, dog Can you guys see? I want you guys to be able to see No, we're already at five and a half minutes Oh yeah, no, I can see that Oh, Jesus No one can see it listening Enjoy the podcast, everybody
Starting point is 00:05:59 Stay safe Stay strong And if you are going to fall over Stockpile toilet paper before it's too late. If you are going to have a fall, get drunk before. Yeah, that's right. That's what we're going to do. Okay, bye.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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 5, four, three, two, one. Bree and I were just having a discussion about whether I should become a motorbike guy or not.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Do you think I'd become a good motorbike guy? Ask your wife. She'll have an opinion about it. She said I'm not allowed. She said you're not allowed that lame scooter that you own. It's not lame. What about that time you told me that you had this idea where you'd drive
Starting point is 00:06:46 the scooter up the road and park it up the road. Oh, no shush. No shush. Shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush. And then, so she didn't know you'd walk up the road
Starting point is 00:06:55 and get on the scooter so you could ride it around. Yeah, because I want to, I want to, I want to live free. Like, I want to feel the wind in my hair, but she doesn't want me
Starting point is 00:07:01 to ride the scooter. And the pavement on your face. No, exactly. And she talked me out of it. She literally, she's very good at this, she held up our tiny baby and she said, do you want to see this thing grow up? And I went, yes. She goes, then don't get on the scooter.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I just think that, look, petrol prices are what they are and congestion is what, I'd be doing everybody a favour, you know? It's good for the environment. I feel like you wouldn't be that great of a rider, though. Oh, fine. You just give that vibe off. Fine, I'm a car guy then. Fine, it's decided. Bree used to ride a Harley Davidson, by the way.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Oh! You did? Yeah, for a little bit. And that was in a very... You were going through a phase, eh? Not in the city. I never rode it in the city. I lived on the coast. I lived never road it in the city. I lived on the coast.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I lived like in a place like the Mount. Yeah. And that's where I think you can have a motorbike. Did your parents know you were riding a motorbike? No. Yeah, right? They do now. Today on the show, we're going to give someone enough money to buy two motorbikes.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Depends how expensive the motorbike is, really. I don't know how much they cost. I think a lot more than two motorbikes. $80,000, 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock. I'm just going to come out. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this. I've heard we're getting a clue today at 4 o'clock. Is that what you've heard?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Where did you hear that from? I've heard there's going to be a clue. I heard it from soundkeeper Gary. Or? I heard him talking about it. He didn't say it to me. Who was he talking? People who are organizing the Secret Sound stuff with him.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Is there a bunch of people behind the scenes here all in suits like discussing stuff? Gary's not updating the website himself, trust me. That's a rumour I've heard that there'll be a Secret Sound clue released on our show at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:08:40 So even if you can't get through, if you're playing you need to be listening at 4 so you hear the clue first. Absolutely. Okay, so that's going to be good at four so you have a clue first. Absolutely. Okay, so that's going to be good. That's on the way. What else have we got? You want to talk about rich people next? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Are you rich and are you willing to call the show and tell us about it? I want to know, how do you live? How did you get rich? Bree and I will work out what rich means after this. We've got to set it in an amount, right? Yeah, yeah. Brie and Clint, ZM. I read quite an interesting story about this girl in her late 20s,
Starting point is 00:09:13 which I mean, I'm in my late 20s. So I relate. Late, late 20s. Yeah, late 20s. Post 20s. Yeah, late 20s. I related to it and it talked about
Starting point is 00:09:23 how she, both of her parents unfortunately fell ill. Yes. And they ended up both passing away, which is really horrible. But then they actually left her a massive amount of money. Okay. So they left her, her inheritance was quite large, like we're talking in the millions.
Starting point is 00:09:42 And how old was she when they passed away? Late 20s. Oh, late 20're talking in the millions. And how old was she when they passed away? Late 20s. Oh, late 20s. Late 20s. Anyway, she talks about in this story about how she did not tell anyone. Yeah. Did not tell a soul. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:57 And then she decided she would go into investing. Oh, I like this person. She started building a portfolio. Yeah. investing oh i like this she started building a portfolio yeah and she actually grew her portfolio by 50 within a number of years she's like stupid parents you were doing nothing with this money yeah look at me go you should have given it to me years ago this is my dream by the way not the parents dying but but the bit where you come into millions of dollars you can't have both you come into millions of dollars where you're young enough to do fun stuff with it.
Starting point is 00:10:25 And by fun stuff, I mean invest. I was going to say, that's not fun. That's boring. Why didn't she tell anyone? She didn't want people to think she was. She just got brought up by her parents to not talk about money and not flaunt your money and stuff like that. And that's how, you know, she.
Starting point is 00:10:40 That's nice. Yeah, which is really nice. And she also said she believes that people treat you differently. I would not flaunt the money either. Bull crap. Once I had the... Absolute BS from you. Once I had the car and the...
Starting point is 00:10:53 No, no, no, no. It's very simple. It's very simple. It's very simple. Once I had the car. Yes. The house. Yep.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Whole new wardrobe. Like I'm chucking everything out. Yep. Because I hate all my clothes. And if I was rich rich I'd fix that. And maybe a holiday home? No flaunting. What do you think all of that is?
Starting point is 00:11:12 That's just... You're the type of person that if you got your dream car in your dream house, you'd invite everyone out of the office to come have a look at your car and then you'd invite everyone over, come have a look at my place, it's in Ponsonby. Oh yeah, it'd be really entertaining. It's on the
Starting point is 00:11:27 water in Herne Bay. Come and have a look. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's it, that's it. And the only reason would be to flaunt. We would be eating signature range chips at the party, I promise. I would have nice things, but I'd still be just like you. I would, I would, I would. The rest would go
Starting point is 00:11:43 into a savings account. Anyway, she talks about how she also thinks that people treat you completely differently when they know you've got money. Oh, they would. And it made me, like, it got me thinking, like, I would love to talk to someone who is rich
Starting point is 00:11:59 or, like, quite wealthy. So would I. I'd love to make friends with them. Hang out with them. You're not painting yourself in a very good light. I would I. I'd love to make friends with them, hang out with them. You're not painting yourself in a very good light. I would. I'd just like to. Literally, if someone said to you, I can just picture an interview in the next couple of years
Starting point is 00:12:16 that will be on television and they'll be like, Clinton Roberts, what would be your favourite thing in the world? And you've got like a beautiful wife, a beautiful daughter, and I can just picture you sitting there going, money. No, because I wouldn't – no, because I don't – no. No, that's not true. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:12:32 A little bit true. It would be equal thirds. Behind my wife and my beautiful daughter. Now, we can try and talk to a rich person. You said while the songs were playing that you don't think anyone will call because rich people have better things to do. Well, for one, not just that, but I feel like, I don't know, do rich people really want to tell us, you know, peasant people,
Starting point is 00:12:55 how much money they have or like how they got the money and stuff? Some of them do. Great. I want them to call. We can keep you anonymous. We don't know how being a rich person works. We also don't know what radio station rich people listen to. I don't think it's this one.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It might be. We wouldn't be luring you in with the secret sound. But, you know, what's rich? You need to tell people what's rich. Yeah, true. What do you think is rich? If you have... In the bank.
Starting point is 00:13:19 If you have $100,000 in the bank right now and you own a house already because some people have that for their house deposit. Okay, but what type of house? Doesn't matter, any house. Oh, no, I don't think that's rich. If you've already paid your house deposit and then you've got a spare $100,000. Wait, do you own your house outright?
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah, millionaire. So we need to talk to a millionaire. Let's go. Millionaire is rich. We want to talk to a millionaire right now. We're talking obviously like materialistic rich because there is other types of rich. You're right. Stupid hippie. We want to talk
Starting point is 00:13:57 to a millionaire or someone who thinks they are rich. If you define yourself as rich. Maybe you've got a lot of investments. Yeah. Yeah. That add up to a lot of stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah. Call us now. 0800-DIAL-ZNM. Are you a millionaire? We want to talk to you. We're talking rich people. You're a rich girl, and you're going too far, because you know it don't matter anyway.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Do you rely on your old man's money? Or do you have your own money? Yeah, we're talking about your own money. Like, who's the richest person you know? That's a good question. That's a really good question. Yeah, who is it? Probably my...
Starting point is 00:14:40 Are they old? No, they're not old. They're not old. No, they're younger than me, actually. Are they? Yeah. How'd they get so rich? They're just really good at their job not old. They're not old. No, they're younger than me, actually. Are they? Yeah. How'd they get so rich? They're just really good at their job.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Okay. They're in property. Oh, so property tycoon. Yeah, they're just a wheeler dealer. Wheeler dealer, buy property, sell property. I don't want to name them because I've never actually asked them how much money they are. How much do you think? Just one of those people you look at and you go, you're rich.
Starting point is 00:15:03 What kind of car do they drive? A brand new VW four wheel drive. I mean you could have picked something else but yeah it's not bad. I'm not making it up though. It doesn't matter. We're trying to talk to a real rich person. While those songs are playing I got a message from someone who doesn't want to come on the radio
Starting point is 00:15:18 and they said I'm not going to call but when I was 21 I'm now 28, my partner who was 22 actually won Lotto Powerball. We won $7 million. We own three properties and we have an investment portfolio. They sent me a photo of the winning Powerball ticket with the receipt beside it that says $7 million.
Starting point is 00:15:40 How cool. How cool is that? That's so cool. I'm going to message them and say, are you happy? Yeah. Did Lotto ruin your life or do you think it like made it better? Yeah. Someone on the text machine has texted through and they said,
Starting point is 00:15:55 my dad has 30 properties. Well, your dad is the... 25 of them in Auckland. Your dad is the housing crisis. Yeah, literally. It's given my parents the ability to retire before they were 50. Yeah, good for them. You wouldn't know on the surface that our family has that much money though.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Yeah. There you go. A lot of people with those properties, you're not rich until you sell them, right? Because all the money is tied up in them. You're rich in investment. I don't know how money works. This person wants to remain anonymous, and we understand. You've called.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Anonymous number one. Hello. How you doing? You all right? Good. First of all, are you rich? Oh, I think so. Okay.

Not even like you own a $2 million in your bank account right now. Wait. Yeah. Not even like you own a $2 million house. Like when you log into your internet banking, it says $2 million.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Yeah, it's real. Yes, it's real. If I do it on my phone, I've got to keep scrolling to the left to see all the zeros. Yeah, right. Far out. That is one of the most obnoxious things I've ever heard. I loved it. I'm going to believe you.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I'm going to choose to believe you. How did you get rich? Investments. Investments. Like property or like the... No, no, no. Just for whatever reason. Yeah, bonus bonds mainly.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Bonus bonds. Bonus bonds. Bonus bonds. I don't believe you anymore. I don't believe you at all anymore. I have no idea and don't understand. I was going to ask you for investing all anymore. I have no idea. Yeah, there is. And don't understand. I was going to ask you for investing tips, but bonus bonds. My grandma bought me bonus bonds.
Starting point is 00:17:30 In your investing? Yeah. I had $50 in there when I was 12, 13. Yeah. Parents put it in. Yeah. And I've just added to it each week, each month. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah. I've had a few wins and it just keeps going up. Wow. Okay. See, my dad said to me, you might be able to relate to this, Anonymous. My dad said to me, he would, there's particular shares
Starting point is 00:17:54 that he's made quite a lot of money off. Yeah. And every time he'd get like a dividend, is that what it's called? Yeah. He'd just put it straight back on. Yeah, that's compound interest. Yeah, he reckons he's got a good amount of money in there. That's your money one day. I was like, take
Starting point is 00:18:07 it out now. Anonymous number two, you're rich. G'day, how you doing? Maybe, kind of, I guess. Yeah, a little bit. How rich are we talking? Like, what have you, you got a big portfolio? What's happening? No, we're sitting on about 2.2, freehold, $1.4 million home, got a land, building some properties on it and have a rental and a company. So you've got a lot of stuff in your portfolio. I want to know, what is your run-around car? What are you driving right now? Sorry, Clint, it's not an Audi station wagon.
Starting point is 00:18:44 It's a 2019 C300 Merc. Oh, yeah, nice. I thought you were going to come in and go, sorry, Clint, us rich people like to drive a nice, sensible Toyota. But no, you've got a brand new Mercedes-Benz. My uncle, who's a multi-multi-millionaire, drives around an SS Ute. It's his favourite car. The Holden Commodore.
Starting point is 00:19:03 He's got seven Ferraris, drives around the Holden Commodore. Anonymous, that's fantastic and thank you for sharing it with us. How did you do it? I'm 31 now. I started a company when I was 25. 31! Piss off, Anonymous! Started your own company.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Started at 25 and any of the profits threw straight into the property, paid it down, just kept saving. Give us one piece of advice. Give us one piece of advice. People listening now who want to be as rich as you when they're 31, what's your best piece of advice?
Starting point is 00:19:35 Don't buy crap, basically. Don't buy shit. You don't need it. You don't need it. If you want to get rich, save your money and use it wisely. Like an Audi station wagon. Am I ride anonymous? He drives a Mercedes Benz.
Starting point is 00:19:45 He's rich! What about if you spend half your weekly income on the iconic website? Oh, then there you go. That's a good investment. You have to wait. You get the goodies later. If you're paying things off that you don't need, you're just wasting money. I think the most important question
Starting point is 00:20:01 and the last question we will ask you, Anonymous, are you single? Happily married. Dean McCarthy out of LA. This is quite concerning, especially for our listeners, if you're going to Coachella. Yeah, Dean, is there a chance Coachella is going to be cancelled? Hey, guys, yes, there is a very good chance, actually. So Coachella is in the Coachella Valley.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Sorry, well, you guys know that I live during the week, right? Someone has contracted the coronavirus at the Eisenhower Hospital in Rancho Mirage, right near where I live, actually. And what that means is that is a huge gathering of people. It brings in $300 million to that area. And at this point, they are considering, you know, how bad, what will the spread be? So it's not cancelled yet, but it may very likely be cancelled.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Well, I mean, look, if they're thinking about cancelling the biggest sporting event pretty much in the whole world ever this year, the Olympic Games, then I mean they have to start thinking about these other, you know, big events that draw big crowds. Yeah, totally. Yeah, God, it's going to really impact the festy flower crown market, something crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Like I reckon the people who make those flower crowns, I reckon they'll go bankrupt because this is their showpiece, you know. This is their Melbourne Cup. This is their Olympics. Also, those people that produce the nipple pasties. Yeah, the... The tassels.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Yeah. They're probably going to go under. I'll still buy them. Yeah, true, Dean. You'll buy them? I'll keep them going. Dean, I've seen your male models, and not once have you attempted to cover their nipples.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Not once. So I challenge you on that. I do recommend you check out Dean's Instagram, by the way, if you get a chance. His latest range of swimwear is out. And I haven't even seen the togs because the models you book are some of the most attractive men I've ever seen in my life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:56 But, yeah, go check out Dean's new swimwear range. Where are we going with this? That's Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent live out of Los Angeles with the news that Coachella isn't but may be cancelled this year. If you're a big fan of, you know, the series The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, which is on at the moment, this is quite exciting.
Starting point is 00:22:20 There's rumours that they're saying there could be a spin-off version for a show that uses the same concept but with older people. Yeah, okay, that's interesting. Yeah. So it's pretty much The Bachelor but for a senior version. An old people Bachelor. Yeah. Well, there's been no talk about exactly what it would be called
Starting point is 00:22:44 or if it's actually going ahead, but this is crazy. I have got my hands on an exclusive sneak peek of the show. Oh, this is good. You can't ask me where I got this because I will get in trouble. I'm not meant to be playing this, but apparently this is a sneak peek of the new older person version of The Bachelor. Coming to an afternoon time slot just before bedtime, The Boomala.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Yeah, I guess I'm kind of excited. Well, I mean, it's a great opportunity to meet someone and potentially add our salaries together so we could buy another investment property. And can you also say you're trying to find love? Oh, yeah, and of course love, I suppose. And a dual income. Mainly the dual income.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Yeah, I mean, Craig seems nice. His bald head doesn't worry me, but my main concern with men these days is can they get a s**t? I'm trying to take a deep breath. Not because I'm nervous, it's my fibromyalgia. Can I get my pills? Where are my pills? Hi, I'm Wendy, 57 years young, and I signed up for the Boomerla, because, I mean, I haven't had a holiday in years.
Starting point is 00:24:03 My husband, Graham, he left me. I raised my three children on my own, so I deserve a bloody holiday, goddammit. There'll be love. Oh my god, I am so in love with these hush puppy loafers. They just provide so much support for my weak arches. Comfortable. Scandal. Oh, no, seriously, Denise. Did you take my high-powered perm rollers again? I'll stab you with my EpiPen.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Heartache. Who took my heartburn medication? I told you I'd need those tablets after a spicy madras. The boomerlar. With more unpolitical correctness than any other TV show. Sounds good. You've got way too much time on your head. Bree and Clint. I hit a new milestone in my relationship over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Yeah. We had our first fight. Oh, congratulations? I don't know if you could congrats. Nah. Are in order? Some people love it. Some people go, the best couples fight all the time. Not all the time.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I think it's very healthy to have fights every now and then or discussions or arguments, whatever you want to call it. I think it's very healthy because I honestly think it gets stuff out in the open and it makes you grow and become closer. It's not the fight, it's how you deal with it, right?
Starting point is 00:25:30 Absolutely. But in this circumstance, I just wanted to... What we actually had a fight about is quite pathetic. Was it flatulence? No, no, no, no. And it's a real question. You brought us that clip of you letting one rip in front of your partner for the first time.
Starting point is 00:25:52 And I'm not saying that that is reason enough to have a fight. That is not the catalyst. You played that on the radio. No, that is not anything. It was a fight about you playing the secretly recorded audio of you flatulating in front of your partner to a nationwide audience.
Starting point is 00:26:08 No, that was all good. Totally fine. I did ask before I did that, by the way. I didn't just play. I didn't ask before I recorded it. You didn't ask before you did it either. No. The reason we had a fight is very pathetic.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I can't believe I'm about to say this on the radio. The reason I had a fight with my new partner is because of a card game. You're such a loser. Tell people what the card game is. It's the card game you're obsessed with and it's the card game that I never want to play with you for this reason.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah. This is why I've never played with you. You've asked. You tried to get me to bring it to Invercargill. You should. No, I'm never playing with you. No, just hear me out. I don't believe it was my fault.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Well, we still have it out there. Say the game. What's the card game? The card game we had a fight over was Monopoly Deal. Not one person out there thinks that that is worth you having your first fight with your wonderful new partner about. There would be. Trust me.
Starting point is 00:27:03 There'd be lots of people going, yeah, that's worth it. Yeah. Anyway, it was so ridiculous. It was over the fact that everyone was ganging up on me and I'd lost like 12 games in a row or something ridiculous. And finally, I did these amazing moves in the card game and I just pretty much slaughtered everyone and won. And then I boasted a little bit.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Are you proud of yourself? Are you proud of yourself? So your fight was because you weren't a good winner. Is that what it was? Yeah, but she was a sore loser. It goes both ways. Have you guys made up? Anyway, we got over it, but it was a legit discussion for about,
Starting point is 00:27:42 I want to say half an hour. Did you do the make-up thing? Oh, that is personal. Very personal question. Okay, all right. Yes, we did play another game. Yeah, fantastic. Yeah, cool.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Well, good. At least you're over it. Yeah. And I think that going forward, you two shouldn't play Monopoly Deal together. I think if you value your relationship, you've found out that you guys can't sustain your favourite card game and you should stop playing Monopoly Deal together. No, I call BS
Starting point is 00:28:07 because I reckon there's people out there and text in please to confirm this for me. I think there's people who've fought about the exact same thing. Monopoly Deal? Yep. Or just other ridiculous things. Hey, I'd rather be fighting about... Text in to support me.
Starting point is 00:28:23 If you think Bree values her relationship, tell her that she should quit Monopoly Deal. Tell her that. Okay, both of us have our, you know, good points. What was the question I was going to ask? You want to ask people if people have had as stupid fights as you in their relationship? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:40 This is the point I was going to say. I'd rather be fighting about stupid, pathetic things like this than actual serious things. Yeah, okay, you've got a really good point there. Like I'd fight over that stuff any day. Yeah, if it means not fighting over, you know, serious problems. Fight about how you cheated in Monopoly Deal,
Starting point is 00:28:58 not about how you cheated in the relationship. I didn't cheat, but yeah, some people might fight over that. I want to know from people, 0800 dial ZM, what is the pathetic, ridiculous thing you and your partner have fought about? Yeah, decent fights, right? Or even just maybe it was the catalyst. Might be a game, might be something else. 0800 dial ZM.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Bree and Clint. A lot of people weighing in on this. What is the stupid, pathetic thing that you had a fight with your partner about over the weekend? Had the first fight in my new relationship when a game of Monopoly deal nearly ripped us apart. Yeah, that's forever going to be your first fight, by the way. If it was your second fight, it wouldn't matter. But your first fight is going to be remembered for this. And I stand by it.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I'm stoked with that. 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 Leigh-Mather, and Ben Thomas, careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you, I reckon, will love it. Gone By Lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Because we don't fight about anything else. Yeah. But... Which is why I'm saying quit Monopoly Deal.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Imagine how harmonious your relationship would be. And then we'll be perfect. Yeah, you'll be the perfect couple. No, but then we don't get to play and it's my favourite game. What's the stupid thing you thought about in your relationship? Hi Hamish. How's it going? Hamish, tell us what was the stupid thing you thought about in your relationship? Hi, Hamish. How's it going? Hamish, tell us, what was the pathetic thing you had a fight over? It's one of the things that you sort of tend to do on the first couple of dates anyway.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But just touching on what your fight was about, no one likes a sore loser. Bree was a sore winner. Yeah, I was a sore winner. Does that make it better? Yeah but you were complaining in the first place That you were losing And then all of a sudden you pulled up this lucky card Hamish Hamish Hamish Hamish You're starting a conversation you don't want my friend
Starting point is 00:30:55 Trust me you don't want this smoke brother You do not want to go there I'm actually not a bad loser I'm just a bad winner I'm putting you both back in your corners Hamish what was your fight about? My fight was a bit stupid. We decided that we wanted to watch a certain movie halfway through.
Starting point is 00:31:13 So I wanted to watch a comedy. I found out later on she wanted to watch something different. So there was a funny scene, and I think we were watching Happy Gilmore of all movies. I'm like, oh, did you get the funny joke? And she's just like, no, I didn't get the funny joke. I don't even want to be watching this i want to be watching crime yeah right and that's why so halfway through the movie she decided that she didn't even want to be watching that genre you could have told me that earlier on so your fight your fight was over a movie choice
Starting point is 00:31:37 yeah go back in your hole ball you want to go home thanksish. Terry, what was your stupid fight about in your relationship? When we first got together, well, I've always had baths. Like, I love baths to relax after a big day at work. Okay. And my partner comes in the bath. I had, like, my bath bomb and it was all romantic with candles. And he comes in and he's like, oh, you haven't in the baths for a shower.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I was like, what? But you should probably have a shower in the bath for a shower. I was like, what? But you should probably have a shower before you have in the bath. I was like, why? He's like, because you're just bathing in your own salt. So your fight was over the fact that you didn't shower before your bath? Yeah. Who's showering before their bath? He needs to stop making you feel bad for having a bath.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Terry. That's so strange. Terry, you do you, babes. Yeah. I think bath people are weird people. I'm just going to come out and say it. Like, it's such an un, like, it's such a, such a, like. It is a strange concept, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:34 It's so indulgent. Like, it's, I get it if it's like a Sunday evening and you want to relax. But people who just go, oh, it's Wednesday, I might go and have a bath. Terry, tell me, are you someone who shaves your legs in the bath? Oh, hell yeah. I love the smooth feeling of shaving your legs in the bath. And then your whole body's covered in your leg hairs. Yeah, that would piss him off even more.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Someone on the text machine said, my boyfriend ate my chocolate Christmas gift pack that my boss bought me. It was a basket of M&M's, Maltesers and other chocolates. I legit didn't talk to him for 36 hours. All men should know you don't eat a woman's chocolate. You don't touch our chocolate. You don't.
Starting point is 00:33:15 There's no win to be had. Julianne. Julianne? Julianne. Julianne, sorry. Julianne, what was the stupid thing you and your partner fought over? So many, many years ago, my husband and I were playing Pictionary with some friends. Oh, here we go, another board game situation.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Yep. And the word was a heel of a foot. Yep. But he drew a hill, hoping I would guess heel. I didn't guess hill. And he said something to the effect of, how dumb do you need to be? Oh, no. I reacted.
Starting point is 00:33:55 He even put his hand up and, like, don't speak to me. So I stabbed him with a pencil in the hand. You stabbed him with a pencil? Wow. And did you go, picture this, bitch. Yep. I stabbed him with a pencil in the hand. You stabbed him with a pencil? Wow. And until today... And did you go, picture this, bitch. Yep. And until today, I mean, we've been married 38 years.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Yeah. Until today, he will not play Pictionary with me. Yeah, because you stabbed him. Because you stabbed him. Brian Clint. The most popular birthday in New Zealand has been revealed. Yes, statistics have revealed the most common birthday for Kiwi babies. It's an article that's been posted on the Herald.
Starting point is 00:34:34 So this takes into account every birthday that has happened between 1980 and 2017 in New Zealand. And the most popular birthday of all is... September 29. Or 40 weeks and one day after Christmas. Right. So if you go back, it was around Christmas time, the season of giving that people were... And receiving.
Starting point is 00:35:04 And receiving. People were apparently giving that people were giving. And receiving. And receiving. People were apparently giving and receiving a lot. Which most people go, most people who are born in late September go, oh, I was obviously conceived on New Year's Eve. Mum and Dad were at the very first Rhythm and Vines and made me in a tent. But this suggests otherwise. This suggests that the most popular time to conceive
Starting point is 00:35:26 the baby is a week before New Year's Eve on Christmas Day. Which, I mean, I'm not so shocked by that because, I mean, Christmas time, most people have time off. Yeah. So you're spending a lot of time with loved ones. Yeah. And your partner. Yeah. So you got time to do activities. But not on Christmas Day. Let's think about Christmas Day. One, you're usually with a lot of family, like you'll be at your mum or your dad's place. Yeah, let's hope.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Yeah, for a lot of people, you're around family. Like who's going, this is the perfect place to conceive a child? Shh, be quiet, be quiet. Where in my childhood bedroom? It's a single bed. They always squeak his childhood beds, aren't they? Also, the other most obvious bit about getting pregnant on Christmas Day
Starting point is 00:36:16 is you're so full of food. Yeah, to be honest, on Christmas Day, that is the last thing on my mind. I would happily sacrifice that for eating copious amounts of food. 100%. I don't know a single person come 4.30 on Christmas Day even, let alone bedtime, who goes, you know what? I'm feeling sexy. I don't feel bloated at all.
Starting point is 00:36:38 I can barely roll over. Exactly right. You know, I'm not doing anything else. And yet it is the most popular day, it seems, over the last 30 years, 40 years almost, to conceive a child. Which, I
Starting point is 00:36:53 said to you off air, I believe it probably is more Christmas Eve. Oh. Because you know how a lot of the time you tend to have a few drinks on Christmas Eve and you go out. Christmas Eve is good, yeah. Yeah, and you have fun and usually you're at home and you go out
Starting point is 00:37:10 and you see your friends. Yeah. That's a good time. Yeah, and then you go, let's go look at my old high school. And then you get on the playground at your old high school. Oh, my God, now it all makes sense. And then you do it there and that's, oh, we've cracked the code. Just as a side note, the least popular birthday is obviously February 29,
Starting point is 00:37:26 the leap day, but that doesn't really count. It doesn't count because it's only every four years. The second least popular birthday and the real least popular is Christmas Day. That's the least popular birthday to have. Do you think people are substituting that for a present? Um, what? They're like, oops, forgot a gift. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:37:48 That's the day to be born. You get born, so nine months prior. Oh, right. I'm saying for the September one. Yeah. On Christmas. Oh, when they get pregnant. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:37:58 My theory for Christmas Day being the least popular birthday is Jesus just goes, uh-uh, not on my birthday. I don't think so. Not today. Not today, Jesus. Jesus. Lady. Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Oh, my God. I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's such a bitch. It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game. The game where Brie and I go head to head guessing how many followers famous people have on Instagram. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Producer Ellie puts together the list. How long do you think before we're adding TikTok to this game? Oh, that's a good question. That app is just blowing up at the moment. How long before we go, how many does Jennifer Lopez have on TikTok? True, true. It's harder.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yeah, it is harder. I don't follow anyone on TikTok. No. Yeah. Anyway, we're not doing that yet. There you go. Well, currently the score here is 4-3 to Clint. So, Brie, you could tie it up here.
Starting point is 00:38:56 You're firstly ready today. How many Instagram followers does Katy Perry have? She just announced she's pregnant with her first child. Yeah. Katy Perry. With Orlando. Orlando. Katy Perry's. She just announced she's pregnant with her first child. Yeah. Katy Perry. Orlando. Orlando. Katy Perry's a hard one.

Starting point is 00:39:40 Really? I think she's remade that, but then released a second one as well. All right. I hope she's doneade that, but then released a second one as well. Alright. I hope she's done like a Mulan version of Dirty. It's too dirty to clean my act up. Alright, for Christina, Clint, you put $20 million. Bree, you put $29 million.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Christina has $6.7 million. Is that it? Yeah. Where are you? I guess she's a bit older. I don't know. Oh, ageist. Oh, you know what I mean? Like, wasn't more, but I guess she's a bit older. I don't know. Oh, ageist. Oh, you know what I mean? Like, wasn't around, you know. She's not that old.
Starting point is 00:40:08 No, I know. Cheers to Ellie. Yeah, no. Ellie doesn't know. We found out today, Ellie doesn't know who the singer Jewel is. Okay. Yeah, Ellie's like, who the hell is Jewel? I bet you half the people listening don't know either, actually.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Thank you very much. Oh, people know the singer Jewel. Oh, we've got to crack on here, guys. It's one all, it's best of three. Come on. Okey-dokey. Actually, you know what?

Starting point is 00:40:36 How many Instagram followers does she have? She's not going to Australia. No, she just announced it now. Sweet Cody Simpson. I know. That sucks. Yeah, I know. She's put a big statement out on her Facebook page.
Starting point is 00:40:47 All right. For Miley Cyrus, Clint, you put 111. Brie, you put 107. Million. Million. Miley Cyrus has 105 million, which I believe is a point to Brie. Oh, she's all tied up now. Well done.
Starting point is 00:41:02 We're at five games each for the year. God, does that mean we've been back at work for 10 weeks? Oh, yeah. Oh, she's all tied up now. Back at the game. We're at five games each for the year. God, does that mean we've been back at work for ten weeks? Oh, yeah. Oh, yuck. Bree and Clint. Welcome to Unpopular Opinions, everybody.

Starting point is 00:41:53 I don't want it anymore. You don't want it anymore? The hype is too big and if it's all interviews or even if it's 90% interviews, I'm not interested. I don't care about a friends reunion if that's what it is. Just cancel it. To be honest, I don't really care about it either because it's not really a show. It's not a show.
Starting point is 00:42:10 It's just them being interviewed. I don't want to see a $100 million interview. They're already rich. They are getting a lot of money. Yeah. Yeah. Unpopular opinion. Unpopular opinion, but top sheets are overrated
Starting point is 00:42:23 and shouldn't be a thing. No, top sheets are important for keeping your duvet clean. No. They're crap. Top sheets are for adults. Top sheets are for adults. A top sheet is as pleasant as being covered in fire ants. It's an unpopular
Starting point is 00:42:40 opinion. I don't need to agree with you. That's fine. You've put it out there. Producers, let's start with Ben. Do you have an unpopular opinion for her? I think it's 100% acceptable to recline your seat on a domestic flight. I'm going to not say anything. This is coming off the back of a week of
Starting point is 00:42:57 flying for the Bree and Clint show. And a week of relaxing for me in the air. A week of Ben sitting in front of one of us on every flight. And how comfortable was I? Jokes are on you because you will soon find something that I did to you when you were asleep on that flight. You were at a great angle too.

Starting point is 00:47:23 Someone said, if someone has cheated and been with that person longer than three years, they shouldn't be entitled to half of everything. Oh. I agree with that. I like it as well. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to finish on Georgia.

Starting point is 00:48:16 Oh, you are brave, Georgia. Very brave. I don't believe that, by the way. I'm shook. I'm so shook by that one. I just wanted to see the vein pop out of Brie's Italian forehead, which is actually shaped like Italy. It looks like the boot.

You know who this is about, Lauren. Who's that? Katy Perry wrote this song about Russell Brand and how she never met anyone like him and he was like an extraterrestrial.
Starting point is 00:51:04 She wrote quite a few songs about her, mate. Yeah, I think so, yeah. A lot after the breakup. Yeah, probably mainly after the breakup. Okay, Lauren, we've got a decision to make. We need to choose between Stan Walker, Pseudo Echo, Funky Town and Katy Perry's E.T. I'd have all of them. I like
Starting point is 00:51:20 quite like all of them, but I've got to go with Funky Town. For sure. You're going with Funky Town? I think so. I guess the other two, they don't stand out as much, right? No. Are we ready? Can we handle Funky Town?

Reminds me of, and you probably won't have seen it, that episode of South Park with Towelie. Remember the character Towelie? That's so weird because we weren't allowed to watch South Park.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Yeah. So I'll have to take your word for it. But it reminded me of an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. It would have been used heaps of times over the history of... So much. Beat Stan Walker's Black Box. So you know it was popular.
Starting point is 00:55:34 This is such a great song though too. If it can take down Black Box. Oh, what's this weird long intro version? This is the piano version. Yeah, damn. This is dope. Put this in your DJ set. Oh, it's this weird long intro version? This is the piano version. Yeah, damn, this is dope. Put this in your DJ set. Oh, it's still going.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Oh, there we go. I love how someone tried to tack that on the front. And they're like, oh, this fits. Toilet paper is the issue du jour. It is headline news. Are we still talking about toilet paper? The world is still talking about toilet paper. Honestly, I can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:56:07 We're talking about the big issues, and toilet paper is the biggest issue in the world right now. Is it actually, though? It goes toilet paper, coronavirus, and then the Whittaker's peanut slab ice creams. That's it. That's what's important at the moment. I want to distance myself from that list you just gave.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I don't write the news, mate. I follow it, okay? And that's what's coming across my dashboard. Today, we're focusing on toilet paper again, okay? Because we don't know anything about coronavirus and we can't find any peanut slab ice cream. So we just deal with what we can. And what I've got here is,
Starting point is 00:56:39 in the midst of the toilet paper crisis, yesterday we discussed alternatives for toilet paper, which upset a few people. Why did it upset a few people? I came up with the genius idea, use a corn on the cob. No, terrible idea. No, it's good.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Because you didn't specify whether it went up the butt crack or up the butt hole. Oh, no, butt crack. Just through the butt crack. We're not talking about that. We're not talking about that. We're not talking about that.
Starting point is 00:57:02 This is the toilet paper conversation for today. I have recommendations from reputable news source, newshub.co.nz. It's the hub of all news. Five ways you can make your toilet paper last longer. So if you're worried you're going to run out, here's some tips that you can use
Starting point is 00:57:20 to extend the lifespan of your bog roll. Okay. And I'd like you to tell me whether you think each of these ideas are good or bad. Okay. First idea, squash the roll of toilet paper. They reckon if it's an oval shape, it won't roll as freely off the roll. It'll go wonk, wonk, wonk, wonk, wonk when it comes off. Oh, I hate that idea.
Starting point is 00:57:42 That just means it's annoying. No, okay. It's fine. We'll write that one off. Idea means it's annoying. No, okay. It's fine. We'll write that one off. Idea two to make your toilet paper last longer, buy a higher quality of toilet paper. Okay. The higher the ply, the longer the roll will last.
Starting point is 00:57:59 News Hub recommends four-ply toilet paper. So clearly the writers at News Hub are rich. I've never used four-ply in my life. Yeah. I don't know even where to get four-ply. And to be honest, four-ply is just two two-plies. So you might be using less sheets, but it's the same amount. No, not using it.
Starting point is 00:58:15 No. Write it off. Jeez, there better be something good on here. Okay, idea three. Buy one of those toilet paper dispensers. Remember those things and they had them in sports club rooms a lot? Hate it. And it only lets the roll do one rotation? Gives you one thing.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Yeah, and it comes off in squares. Hate it. They say it will give out less toilet paper and people will use less. No. Wow. Number four, fold your toilet paper instead of scrunching it. They're saying if you fold it, you get maximum surface area so it doesn't require as much toilet paper.
Starting point is 00:58:55 And I know you're a scruncher. I am a scruncher. What are you? I'm a scruncher. Would you be prepared in a crisis like the one we're facing at the moment? I guess that's a sacrifice I could make. Okay, good. We're going.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Yeah. So, yes, that's probably my favourite one out of all of them. One out of four so far. The final idea, and these aren't made-up things. These are real. I've got a better idea than all of this. These are real toilet paper conservation ideas from a real news source. Idea number five, hide the toilet rolls.
Starting point is 00:59:27 What, in the house? Yeah. Only leave one roll of toilet paper in the bathroom at a time to encourage a scarcity mentality. If your family member sees that there's only one roll left, they will be more likely to use less toilet paper. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Pass me that piece of paper behind you. So pretend this is. It's a paper towel. It's a paper towel, but pretend this is one sheet of toilet paper, but obviously it's bigger scale. Yeah. I can show you, if you do your business, you could use one sheet of toilet paper. Go on then, show us how it works.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Yeah. So first off, you grab the piece of paper. So say picture one sheet in your car. Yeah. And you pull out a tiny piece in the middle. So rip out a tiny piece. Right in the centre of it. Right in the centre. So now there's a hole in the middle of the piece of toilet paper.
Starting point is 01:00:15 There's a hole in the middle, right? Yeah. So you do your business. Yeah. You then put your finger through. Oh, what? And then you go out, in, out, in, all around. No.
Starting point is 01:00:28 No. Yes. That's what you do. And then you scrunch that piece up so you don't get any on your hand. And then you take this piece that you ripped out of the middle and you wipe that finger off. Bree and Clint. As we told you before, There is a very famous woman
