Hi everybody, this is the podcast that Brie and Clint make, and I'm Brie and this is Clint. Hello! G'day! Um, speaking of podcasts... What did you talk about on the podcast intro yesterday, when I was away? What did we talk about? Everybody, what did we talk about? I don't remember more than three hours ago.

Nah, I don't remember. Producer Ben is so over it, did you hear that? I... What did we talk about? Um... Oh my god, it was yesterday. Yeah, but it's the last thing we do. We have one foot

out the door as we're recording this. We addressed Bree. You're not going to hear her because she's away, but just don't panic. She doesn't have anything bad. I wasn't sick. I was filming something. Actually, by the time this is out, people know, can watch it.

Oh yeah, it'll be on TV tonight if you're in New Zealand. No idea what we talked about. I seriously don't remember. What were you going to say? I was going to say, I listened last night because I'm just imbibing everything I can about infectious diseases at the moment. Everything except an infectious disease.

And I listened to the Joe Rogan podcast with that specialist. Shit, it's terrifying. Don't listen to it. It's literally like when you think you've got something and you Google your symptoms, that is what you're doing. Yeah, but there's a line. There's a line between ignorance and over-information.

And I'm definitely in the over-information category. I think you are. Listening to a whole entire podcast, I definitely agree. Educate yourself. Yeah. Because obviously we need to do that. It's an hour 45 long. The podcast is an hour 45 long.

That's like going onto Google for an hour and 45 minutes and just Googling stuff and, like, working yourself up. How long is our podcast? An hour? Yeah, it's normally probably bang on an hour, yeah. Jesus. Who's spending an hour listening to this show? Is that all we get out of a four-hour show? It's pretty good.

It's good stats, mate. Does that mean we talk 25% of the time that we're on the radio? Yep. Feels like more than that. Does that make it seem like we do less work or more work than you think? 25%. God, that makes me feel like we do nothing. Yeah, right?

You guys do stuff. Yeah, we did a cup of tea competition on the show today. Yeah, we had a dunk off today. You'll hear that in the show. You'll also hear a story about a girl who woke up and she had a condition and she'd lost her memory from the last five years of her life.

Yeah. Wild. Buzzy, G. That is buz life. Yeah. Wild. Buzzy G. That is buzzy. Crazy. Anyone here, would you like that to happen to you? Who would you like to forget? Would I like to forget my wedding and the birth of my first child? No, obviously you wouldn't. Imagine me.

I would wake up and I would not know any of you. Yeah, weird. Yeah, weird. Yeah, that's buzzy. And you'd sound more Australian. Yeah, I probably would. Because you wouldn't have spent three years here by then. I'd revert back.

Yeah. Yeah. Bonza, what am I doing in this hotel bed? We don't say Bonza. Bonza. What does Bonza mean? What does Bonza mean? It's Australian for holy hecka.

No, we don't say holy hecka either. Bonza. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. What's the most Aussie thing do you think I say? Is that billabong water in my IV bag? What's the Aussiest thing you think you've heard me say? Oh, yeah.

It's whenever you feel like an ice cream and every time you ask this, you ask about four times a year. For what? Do you guys have golden gay time? Can I just say golden gay time is an iconic ice cream in Australia and all the Aussies listening to this podcast will be like, oh, I love a gay time. But you guys call it...

Any time's a great time to have a gay time. A cookie crumble. Oh, is it the same thing? It's the same thing. Love a cookie crumble. Yeah, see? You love a gay time too. Do you remember the Memphis Meltdown Big Bickies? Yep. A cookie crumble Is it the same thing? It's the same thing Love a cookie crumble Yeah see You love a gay time too Do you remember the

Memphis Meltdown Big Bickies? Yep Can you still get those? Did you have those? What were they? Memphis Meltdown Big Bickies Did you remember the Big Kahunas? Oh Big Kahunas

That's the one That was so good It's like an ice cream It's like an ice cream sandwich That you can buy A Maxi Bon Yeah see there you go These are the most

These are the most Australian things you say Weird No Maxi Bon's American Oh is it? you go. These are the most Australian things you say. No, Maxi Bon's American. Oh, is it? Yeah. Did you guys have a Buffalo Bill?

Yeah. How good are Buffalo Bills? Not as good as you remember. Yeah, true. The chewing gum's always a bit... The chewing gum's shit. It falls apart on your mouth. Yeah, it's always questionable. For whatever the printing machine they use to print the gumballs now doesn't work

because it's always smeared and you can't read the thing that's on the gumball. Yeah. And his face always looks like it's sliding off the stick. Like, who's in charge of quality control at the Bubba Lo Bill company? Because you've really

let your stance drop. Buffalo Bill always, Bubba Lo Bill, sorry, always looks like he's been on meth. Whoa. You know what I mean? He's like,

I'm looking at him right now. Oh, yeah. Okay, here's my last question. He does. This is not meant to sound offensive. Definitely a meth cowboy. This is not meant to sound offensive. Definitely a meth cowboy. This is not meant to sound offensive because take the meth thing out of it.

Yeah. You guys look at it. Kind of looks like Bree's dad. Oh, he does. Apart from the nose. Yeah. Kind of look. And the mustache.

Oh, yeah. And the mo, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it does kind of look like Big Steve. And the skin color. Bubba Lo Steve. And the skin colour. Bubblosteve. Bubblosteve. Can we make our own version and call it a Bubblosteve?

A Stubblosteve. A Stubblosteve. Also, with the moustache, if we whacked a hat on Ben, that could be a Bubbloben. Oh, yeah. That could be fun. Yeah. I do definitely see my dad in that.

Yeah. They'll make it weird next time you're licking it. Whoa! That got out of it. It will. It'll be like, oh God. Yeah, it brings a whole new thing to got your nose, Dad. Hey, one

last question before we go. Mr. Whippy, what was your ice cream of choice? My dad was always a tight ass, so it was always a standard vanilla cone. And if we were lucky, we could chocolate dip it. What was the sherbet stuff? Really? Yeah, the sherbet.

Oh, the orange sherbet one? Was that you? Yeah, it was pink. I remember it being pink. Oh, pink maybe. Yeah, pink on. Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, sherbet, it was awesome.

I don't remember having a Miss Whippy as a kid. I had the... Really? Dad, you had it. Like, no, mum would never let us go out and do that. God, Alcatraz. Dad, actually, if he heard Mr. Whippy and we got really excited, he would sooner put us in the car and drive us up the road to McDonald's

and take us to the drive-thru to get a 50-cent cone. Yeah, they weren't cheap. Oh, yeah. I got the standard, got the same every time, and I still think it's the best, is the vanilla dipped in sprinkles. Oh, that does sound good. That was an awesome ice cream. I had Mr. Whippy at my wedding, and it was one of the greatest things ever.

That's a good idea. Because we paid a flat rate for everybody, and you could have whatever you wanted. Yeah, see, that's a great idea. Anything on the menu. Anything. I'm going to have that, but for burritos. Oh, yeah.

You're going to get Mr. Burrito there. Yeah. Guzmini Gomez. Do you guys have that? Oh, you don't have that here. Okay, what's the most Australian thing you hear Bree say? Do you guys have that here? Do you guys have that here? I still don't know.

Question mark. Gasp emoji. Question mark. Do you reckon that means, oh, do you have the sound there? Yeah, I can get the sound.

I have an idea. Yeah. Do you reckon that that might actually be a clue that the middle of the sound is a gasp? I've always thought it was, but... It does sound like it. Is it a gasp? Ellie, you would call that a gasp emoji, wouldn't you? You'd say that's a gasp emoji?

No, we're not getting food. No. Also, don't come back without my water bottle. That's the reason why you're going over there. I've lost my new water bottle. Yeah. I'm devastated about it. And take four keep cups from the cupboard, please.

The water bottle's pink. And don't use a carry tray. You know what it looks like. Ellie knows what it looks like. Systema. I think that Edmund's under control. Are we on actually? Yeah, we're on. Anyway, moving on

from the chat. This is big, big news in the fast food world. It's finally time. McDonald's have said that they're going to go eco-friendly for their Happy Meals. How do you mean they're going to go eco-friendly? That probably sounds a bit weird, doesn't it?

They've announced that they're... Client-based Happy Meal. Now you only get chips and that small bag of apple. That's the Happy Meal. I used to pack that small bag of apple. That's the Happy Meal. I used to pack that small bag of apple for them. Anyway, they're scrapping the plastic toys in the Happy Meals from next year in a bid to reduce its environmental impact. What makes it a Happy Meal?

That's just a meal. No, wait. Hear me out. Hear me out. It's just a regular, it's a sad meal. So they're ditching all the plastic toys and they're going to change it for a soft toy option or a book or another paper-based product from 2021. Oh, yeah, I like that. That's cool, isn't it?

A book. Yeah, well, I mean, kids love books. Me personally, I probably wouldn't buy it. Yeah, this might have the opposite effect. This might put you off fast food. You might just get a normal cheese and a meal. Oh, books, yuck. I'm going to stay home and cook myself some food.

No, I think that's awesome. And it all comes from apparently two girls, Ella and Caitlin. Ella is 10 and Caitlin is 8. And they started a petition which got more than half a million signatures for them asking them to stop handing out plastic playthings. Wow, that's... Can you imagine what were you doing when you were eight? I think I was picking my nose.

I was playing with my McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Yeah. Legit. We have a bucket of those things at our house. Yeah, you said that. We never ever want to do that. And when I say bucket, think big bucket. You can sell them probably now.

Well, this is what I'm thinking now. I now have collector's items because there's no more McDonald's toys. Hey, bucket? Think big bucket. You can sell them probably now. Well, this is what I'm thinking now. I now have collector's items because there's no more McDonald's toys. Well, I think there might be like millions of them. No. I wonder what's the rare- Oh, should I Google the rarest one? Yeah, say what's the most valuable McDonald's Happy Meal toy? McDonald's Happy Meal toy.

Yeah. Because I told you the only time I ever got a Happy Meal toy was when my millionaire uncle used to give us Christmas presents and they were Happy Meal toys. Yeah, you don't become a millionaire by giving your money away, Brie. What is it? Show me what this toy is because if I've got it, if I've got the toy, this is a game changer.

I can stop buying lotto tickets. Imagine that. I get rich off Happy Meal. That's a real Happy Meal. Okay. 15 most valuable old McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Here we go. Oh, it looks like they might be.

Do we have the Beanie Baby ones here? No, I don't have any Beanie Babies. Okay. Well, you're not in luck for those then. Here we go. This is what they look like. So they're either the Beanie Babies ones that they did, so they did a whole line of those.

Teeny Beanie Boos, they called them. There was also the Underwater Monsters that look like that. No, I don't have any Underwater Monsters. Okay, don't have those. What else? There was the Power Rangers ones they did in 1994. No, what about just Ronald McDonald in a car? I've got a lot of those.

Or Birdie and she's coming out of an ice cream cone. Is she on there? Any of those? Or Grimace but he's on a scooter. Nah. Nothing? Nah. God damn it. Bree and Clint. Oh, Ellie's back with our coffees.

Everyone calm down. The water bottle has been found. I know you've probably been hanging out in your car, waiting in the driveway to think, did they find Bree's water bottle? Ellie, thank you so much. Yeah, the reusable water bottle can be reused. That's expensive.

Speaking of calming down, probably good advice at the moment. Can we do a quick round the room? And this is a good thing to do with your... Don't tell me to calm down. No, well this is a good thing to say to people at the moment. And it's a good thing to do with your friends, just to whip around and check in. How's everybody feeling? It's a very stressful time at the moment. There's lots of

stressful news out and lots of stressful changes. So how's everybody feeling? Yeah, I think it's important to just ask that question. Yeah. You know, just be like, how are you feeling about everything? What's on your mind? Like, do you want to talk about something? Last night in my flat, it was a very, I guess, because I suffer from anxiety, I tend to be

able to tell when someone is also anxious just because I'm like aware of what that feels like. Yeah, it makes you anxious you anxious yeah what it looks like and um I was talking about it with my flatmates and the feeling was quite anxious yeah um and I feel like a lot of people you know I was talking to a few people in the office here and they're kind of like oh I just can you stop avoiding the question please I asked you directly how are you doing I'm anxious okay that's okay say it out loud that's okay producers how are you guys feeling are you doing? I'm anxious. Okay, that's okay. Say it out loud, that's okay. Producers, how are you guys feeling?

Are you okay? Yeah, I'm a little bit anxious. Yeah? Yeah, just the uncertainty of like fear of the unknown. Producer Ben, you can't sleep at your own house at the moment because of a situation that is directly related to this. How are you feeling? Are you okay? Yeah, a little bit anxious, but we're all pretty good together.

I'm stressed and worried. There's an article here which might help us. This is something that has been put together by a clinical neuropsychologist by the name of Dr. Korn McKee. Kiwi clinical neuropsychologist.

And what it is is ways that you can deal with stress that is directly related to this pandemic thing. And this advice actually works for any time in your life, but helpful ideas that you can use right now. You want to hear these? There's four key things that you can do.

First thing, and this is what your parents always used to tell you to do, and it seems very simple, but it is important. Go for a walk. Go outside. Get some fresh air. And if you can go outside, if you're quarantined, that's an issue. But I think even in isolation, if you're in isolation. I think if you're in isolation, you're allowed to go outside for a walk.

You can go for a walk. You're just distancing yourself from people. Go for a walk. Get some perspective. Get some fresh air. Get the blood moving. The next one you can do, and we're all guilty of this. Okay?

This is very important and also very easy to do. Limit the amount of media you're consuming. That means social media, television, news, everything except the radio, which is healthy and you should leave that on. Yeah. Right? Do you ever – I talked to my wife Lucy on the weekend and I said, how are you going?

And she goes, good, I've deleted Instagram for the day. Because she's just sick of being overwhelmed by... It's just so consuming. It's so consuming. And to be honest, I'm kind of like, let's just talk about something else for a little bit, you know? Yeah, and we will throughout the show, but we're just checking in on each other.

Remember to breathe. This is an important one if you're feeling overwhelmed. Take a deep breath. Do that thing. Take your 10 deep breaths. Count to 10, breathe slowly, breathe your way through it and realise that it's okay. There are things that are out of your control,

but hopefully right now where you are, you're going okay. And the other thing you can do is keep a routine going. So if you have a normal routine, which involved going to the gym or whatever it is, and the gym might've been taken out of that, you might not be able to go to the gym at the moment. find a way to keep that in your routine yeah do the exercise in a different way do some push-ups in your lounge go on to youtube and there's so many free workouts on youtube that you can do les mills have virtual classes that you can log into that sort of thing

find a way to keep your routine going so you have some form of normality you know i just want to talk to people because obviously i'm someone who I've suffered from anxiety for a long time and I just want to talk to the people out there and like that's great and I'm so glad there is articles out there like this. Coming from someone who I personally do suffer from it, I just want to say different things work for different people. And if you know what works best for you, then do those things, you know. And I feel like I particularly use an app on my phone called Mind Map

and sometimes – It's a meditation app? It's a meditation. And to be honest, I'm not good at it. But there is 10 minutes where you can take out of your day where you just spend 10 minutes. And it actually really helps me sometimes where it's the only thing that really calms me down.

But yeah, just people out there, if you know what helps you the most, especially in times like this, then do some stuff for yourself. This shit is stressful. Yeah, absolutely. The word our boss, Ross Boss, keeps using is unprecedented. And what we are dealing with at the moment is unprecedented.

So it's okay that you feel stressed but you need to check in with yourself and do the things that you know will help you feel less stressed in the situation because we're in this for the long haul it's only going on for a while yeah so you need to check in with yourself and your friends regularly cool okay good nice yeah good yeah good all right bri and clint zm bri and clint something for all my dog lovers um and something that i'm very interested in because I believe I'm going to get a dog soon. I mean, I've said that for the last 10 years. From your stars. But you know, soon I'm hoping, and this is something that I feel like most dog owners should know or would

know, but it's a list I found on the internet about seven things that your dog can't eat. Right. Which is, I mean. I've never had a dog before. Yeah. All I know is chocolate. Did you know that?

Yeah, because it's on Family Guy. Yeah, so dogs definitely can't eat chocolate. Yeah. And the reason why is because of a certain, I think it's called methylacetines, which is found in something in the chocolate. I don't need to know why. You just need to go, hey, don't give your dog any chocolate. It's good because you don't have to show your chocolate.

So a tiny amount can actually kill a dog depending on how big the dog is or whatever. So that's obviously number one, no chocolate for the dog. Number two, coconuts. Dogs can't eat coconuts. Or anything to do with coconuts. They say although it's full of health benefits for humans, the large amount of essential oils and potassium can actually cause the dog

to have diarrheas and vomiting. Right. Yeah, so no good for dogs. Okay, no bounty bar for the dog because it's got chocolate and coconut. Yeah, that's like a deathly mix, isn't it? Cool. What else is on the list? Also on the mix, which I feel like this one's common sense, coffee.

Don't get your dog a doggy Chino. What kind of dipshit is giving their dog a coffee? I've never met a dog and I'm like, hey, you look like you need more energy. You know? Yeah, I know, right? Never looked at a dog and gone, you know what, you need a bit more. You're looking tired this morning. Yeah.

Maybe a coffee will wake you up. You don't look hyperactive enough. Although they do make those doggy chinos at cafes, but obviously there's no coffee in those. No coffee. No coffee for dogs. No coffee. Also, this one I was quite shocked to read, no grapes.

Oh, really? Don't feed your dog grapes. Apparently they're pretty toxic to dogs. I found out last night that one of my pot plants that I love dearly, which is a lame thing I just heard myself say out loud, is poisonous to babies. And now I have to get rid of one of my favourite pot plants. Literally, my brain was just dyslexic,

and I thought you said that the baby was poisonous to the plant. And I was like, well, keep the baby away from the plant. Yeah, but actually they're poisonous to each other. Right. She'll destroy the plant and the plant will destroy you. She'll eat it. Anyway, I know this is about dogs, sorry. But yeah, they're a sucker if you had to rip out your grapevine.

Don't give dogs grapes. What else? Yeah, don't give the dog grapes. Number five, I'm quite shocked by this. Raw meat. What? They're saying that apparently, yes, back, you know, when they weren't domesticated animals, they obviously ate raw meat.

But because they are a domesticated animal, it's not going to, like, really hurt them a lot, but it's quite hard for their stomachs to digest. I thought heaps of animals ate raw food. We've given our dogs raw meat. Yeah. For a long time. Right, okay, yeah, cool.

Also. Maybe check that one with your vet. Yeah. Before you take our advice. I mean, this is just off this website. I'm not a professional. I'm just reading what is on this website. This also says apple cores.

Okay. Yeah, but do you know why? Because they're yuck. No. It says there's a high amount of cyanide in the seeds. This causes problems with the respiratory system for dogs. Right. Okay.

No apple cores. And I feel like this one is pretty straightforward. Everyone should know this. No alcohol for the dogs. So if you're sitting home on a Friday night and you feel like, hey, you want a bit of a corona, come over and have a Heineken.

Probably not. No one's having a corona at the moment. That episode of Love at First Sight, Love is Blind? Yeah, she gave the dog wine. She feeds her golden retriever red wine out of her glass. She said she regretted that massively, doing that. Right, okay.

There you go. That's the dog update? That's the dog update. Wonderful. Look, this is obviously, yeah, a bit local because Taika Waititi, it's been released in the news, has had a secret separation from his wife, producer Chelsea Winstanley. Yeah.

They met a couple of decades ago. They've got a couple of kids together. And apparently they separated over two years ago. Whoa. Two years ago. That's crazy, isn't it? Yeah. I didn't know that he had a partner,

but that's quite often the case with high-profile people. Yeah, sometimes they like to keep stuff really private and on the down low, but this is super private because, yeah, they quietly separated, it says here, two years ago. Why did they have to keep it a secret? I'm not sure exactly. It doesn't really say, but I think that's just how they wanted to do it. Right.

Like it was, you know, it's obviously already very hard going through something like that. Yeah. And then without everyone having their two, you know, two bulb put into it. I always think about contestants on reality TV shows like The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. And at the end you shake up as a couple.

Yeah. And filming finishes three months before the last episode goes to air and you have to keep your break up a secret if you didn't make it, if you didn't stay together. That's rough. Until the reunion episode. It's literally like dragging out something really painful for

three months. I remember the Jordan season of The Bachelor, I think it was Bachelor season two New Zealand, him and Fleur, he kept the break up a secret from Fleur. Oh, yeah, she didn't even know. I heard about this story. He broke up with her the night after the episode went to air, the reunion episode.

Technically, he didn't break up with her. He was like, oh, yeah, I was already done, but didn't actually break up with her, right? Something like that. Because then when they saw each other, she was like, you haven't even talked to me. Like, I don't even know what's going on. He's like, shh, save it for the episode.

Yeah, it's fine. Save it for the reunion, babe. But I wanted to ask people, is this something that happens? Do people secretly break up and not tell anyone? Right. I feel like there would be situations where obviously maybe you keep it a secret for however long, you know, from certain people because it's easier. Maybe

do you reckon this has happened where someone has broken up with someone else but then for some reason they still have to attend a family event like Christmas or something to save face or they do a favour for the other person. They go, fine, you can leave me but you have to come to

Dad's 60th. And act like everything's okay. And act like everything's okay because I'm not dealing with this. I'm not ruining the occasion for dad. Yeah. Oh. I'd love to hear from those people. Or residency stories too. Like maybe you had to keep your breakup a secret so one of you could stay in the country for a certain amount of time. Yeah that's called fraud.

Have you done that? Oh that's a fun phone. Oh800dials.com have you done fraud? Yeah have you committed fraud? Oh800d's a fun phone. 0800 dials at M. Have you done fraud? Yeah, have you committed fraud? 0800 dials at M. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, we don't want those stories.

No, we want to know about your secret breakups. Yeah, have you had secret breakups? 0800 dials at M for whatever reason, or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. A story came out over the last couple of days that Taika Waititi and his wife have separated, but they separated two years ago. Yeah.

Yeah, so... How did it come out, I wonder? I don't know. Because he clearly didn't want it to be a news story. And I get that, totally fair enough. It's his and his wife's business, none of ours. Yeah. But, you know, obviously they're in the public eye,

so this stuff comes out. Yeah. But they managed to keep it a real secret. I wonder if she didn't want to live in LA. Yeah, because they both are originally from New Zealand, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

It's interesting. But yeah, so they kept it a secret, their breakup. And we were asking this afternoon, has this happened to you and your partner or someone that you know? Was the relationship and the breakup part of it a secret? Yeah, you couldn't let it on to anybody. Let's talk to Emma. Hey, Emma. Hey, how's it going? Good.

What happened to you? Did your breakup, was your breakup a secret? Well, I was living with my girlfriend and we broke up. Her family was away and we broke up and then stopped talking for like an entire month. Obviously didn't really want to be near each other.

And we had a family wedding of mine to go to in Australia. So I actually had to awkwardly sit on a plane with her and then spend time with my family. And it was so cringe. And she was such good friends with my sister. And so we were like, hey. This is my worst nightmare. And she's my best mate now

10 years later she's got a daughter And you know we're great So it's turned out Why did she have to go to the family wedding? What was the urgency there? It was a massive family reunion For this wedding So every single one of my family members

Who lived pretty much all over the place Was going to be there So if I didn't go Which which we already had booked, like, obviously months in advance. Yeah, but you could go. Why did you have to take – Because they didn't want to make it about them on someone else's day. Yeah, it would have been really awkward because they, like, you know,

they loved you so much. Oh, right. Yeah, and everyone would have been asking about it. Oh, just easy. And then I would have had to sit there like, oh, yeah, this actually happened. Actually, is it easier to take them? I don't know. Yeah, good on you for pushing through. I would have just gone, man, they've got horrific diarrhea.

They couldn't come. And then no questions asked, right? Yeah. Okay, thanks Emma. Someone texted through and they said, I'm separating from my husband after finding out last September that he'd had a year-long affair. I made him come to my 30th birthday in

October because I didn't want the gossip to be the focus of the day. Yeah, well that's the least he can do. Yeah, good for you. You go, if you want any of your shit back from our house, come to my 30th, smile, give a speech about me and buy me a really good gift. After

that you're released from your duties, you cheating bugger. But for now, that's the deal. Take it or leave it. Carlos, hi. Hi, Carlos. Hello. How's it going? Good.

Was your breakup a secret, Carlos? Yes, it was. Yes. What happened? So I was with my partner for a year and a half. And so obviously we broke up. But a week later, my dad was coming all the way from England to meet her. Oh, no.

Especially to meet your partner. Oh, Carlos. Yeah. So what, did you do a fake meet and greet? Well, it was just like he was coming over because I also had a 21st party. So it wasn't just that. But, I mean, it was the first time they're meeting her. Yeah. just that, but I mean, it was the first time they're meeting her. So also that was just

like a week long, you know, like, you know, practically together, you could say. Let me ask this, Carlos. Obviously you'd broken up and then obviously you're trying to, you know, play the part for your dad and stuff like that. When you were doing that, did anything reignite or rekindle? Were you sleeping in the same bed? Did anything happen? No, it was basically, we were sleeping because we were living in a house together. It was all like just

normal, just without the title, you could say. Right. Yeah, right. But your dad walks in, you're sleeping on the floor. Sucks to you. No, no, he didn't come to my house, so I was fine. Oh, right. I was going to say, your dad would have been like, what did you do?

Yeah. Yeah, no. Sucks you couldn't just be honest and be like, hey, Dad, I know you came over to meet my girlfriend, but we've broken up. Good news, you still get to see me. He's like, I can see you anytime. I wasn't coming for you, I was coming for her. Bree and Clint.

There's a real possibility that if you're not already By the end of the week, if your job can do it You'll be working from home You'll be confined to your own house as much as possible Yeah, you get your Fifth Harmony on And you work from home, girl You do it Never has this song been more relevant than now

If you do We talked about this yesterday, actually. It's going to take a lot of stresses off your life. You're not going to have to sit in traffic anymore. You're not going to have to do awkward office banter. Actually do work. Well, you can definitely do less, for sure, for a little while at least. I was thinking about it, though, and I thought, how disciplined are you?

How disciplined are we? Say that you and me have to do this show from our own house next week yeah I've got a list of things and this is for everybody actually I want to know honestly do you think that you'll keep doing these things if you don't have to leave the house oh that's interesting you know what's funny is because this happened earlier in the week at my house because a couple of my flatmates are working from home yeah and um we decided that we pretended like the living area was an office. And anyway, Alan, my flatmate, he had his laptop on and the music was playing.

Yeah. And we were like, Alan, it's so inconsiderate in the office space to have your music playing. We're all trying to do work. Yeah, put your work headphones on, Alan. Yeah. And then we were just blaming random people for leaving cups in the sink. We're like, oh, Karen from marketing's left a cup in the sink again.

Yeah, bitch about someone who doesn't exist. Okay, here's a list of things, and I want you, producer Ellie and Ben, to contribute to this too. I need an honest answer. If you don't have to leave the house to go to work, will you still brush your teeth? Yeah. Yes.

I always brush my teeth. Yeah, I can't stand that feeling. We're still going to brush our teeth. Okay, good. That's a good start. That's good maintaining of routine. If you don't have to leave the house, will you still do your makeup? No.

No, absolutely not. No way. No way. No way. Producer Ben, you are the most likely to still do your makeup. I don't think I'd do it. Okay. Okay.

Your eyebrows are on fleek today, by the way. Routine is important, but if you can't leave the house, then you can't go to the gym. Will you still be doing exercise if you can't leave the house? Damn it. Oh, no. You bugger. All that exercise I do.

That's probably what I'm most upset about. You can still exercise. Will you find a way to keep exercising your routine? Yeah, there's a particular thing I'll do. Oh, no. I will. Yeah, I will. You will, Ben?

Yeah, I'll go for a walk. Yeah, I'll do a walk. Yeah, along the beach. Is that what you're calling it? Bree, stop avoiding the question. Will you do exercise? I said a particular type. Yep.

Fine. Jeepers. If you don't have to see anybody and you don't have to leave the house, will you still shave your legs? No, don't even do that now. I don't do that anyway. It's been four weeks. Will you still bother to put clothes on?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, but no bra. No bra? No bra. No bra? Okay, cool. Not a bra. Underpants?

Yeah, I do like to feel secure in the undercarriage. Will you get out of your pyjamas? No, probably not. I'm always that awkward person on Christmas Day where the whole family turns up and I'm still in my pyjamas. What if we have a Skype meeting and you're sitting there in a Scooby-Doo t-shirt?

I'm fine with that. I like that. Will you bother getting out of bed? I don't mean to get food and that sort of thing. Will you bother relocating your day away from the bed? No, actually let me rephrase it. Will you bother making your bed? Yes. Yeah, you will? To be honest, there's

a dip in my mattress from how often I just sit on my bed. I'm going to say I won't even get out of bed. No, I don't think so either. You'll grab your laptop and you'll grab your snacks and you'll set up your, it's not a home office, it's a bed office. Have you got cameras in my room? Maybe that's you right now.

Maybe your routine's already changed. And if it is, go and have a shower, please. Bree and Clint. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. Nickname Origins. All right, I do love this game. You guys call us up, you tell us your nickname, and we just have to guess the origin, how you got it,

It's Squid because your nickname sounds like Squid. Yeah, no, you're not going to search me up on Facebook for the look I like. Oh, that's what you're worried about. Oh, he wants to keep his privacy. Oh, right. There's a hundred thousand things there. Okay, so it's either one or two. Yeah.

It's either his last name kind of sounds like squid. Yeah. Or I think it's because he's skinny. Let's go with skinny. I don't think it's a last name thing now. Squid, do they call you squid because you're skinny? No, they don't. Oh Squid, do they call you Squid because you're skinny? No, they don't. Why do they call you Squid?

Well, back playing rugby, I used to strap on these tentacles and run out onto the field. No, I guess I used to just wrap them up with my tentacles and squirt my ink at them. But no, yeah, I was just a good rugby player. Squid, you're the most secretive man who's ever called... Rhys, what are you on about? Yeah.

to a high school kid's reputation? Yeah, but that's hilarious. Yeah, no, so I'm known as dom-dom stink bomb to everybody. Okay, you're in the running for best origin. That's a cool nickname, though. Yeah. Oh, that nickname. Johnny, finally, so I'm known as Dom Dom Stingbomb to everybody. Okay, you're in the running for best origin. Johnny, finally, what's your nickname? I'm not going to take a genius to figure this out.

Big Johnson. I'm going to say and I'm not even taking the piss, I've been 100% confused. Well, there's two that it could be. Either Johnny is big. He's a big it could be. Either Johnny is big. He's a big guy. Or Johnny's Johnson is big.

What's a Johnson? You know, a... You know, a... A what? Johnny's Johnson. What's it? Is Johnson his last name? Yeah, it's last name.

Yeah, exactly. He didn't have to do anything. Dom Dom Stink Bomb, congratulations. You've won some mobile fuel this afternoon. Awesome, thanks very much. Dom Dom Stink Bomb. Dom Dom Stink Bomb. Bree and Clint.

It's catchy. Bree and Clint. I just want you to picture this for a minute. Imagine you wake up in a hospital bed and you don't have your memory from the last five years of your life. Well, I'm single. Would you be? No, you wouldn't. Yeah, would I? I'd bow round about.

You better be careful. I think you've been with your wife, Lucy, for six years, not five. Ah, damn it. So you'd be recently in a relationship. Ah, I'm enjoying this new relationship that I'm in. Let's hope your wife is not five. Ah, damn it. So you'd be recently in a relationship. Ah, I'm enjoying this new relationship that I'm in. Let's hope your wife is not listening. No, yeah, so you wake up, the last five years of your life, you don't remember, but everything up until that point you do.

So technically I would think that I was 25 right now. Right. And you would think that you were 42. 42. Sorry, 37. But this has actually happened to a girl in the UK. This is a real story. And it's a real condition that people have gone through with a thing called, now bear with me, encephalitis. Encephalitilitis. No, not folliculitis.

That's a follicle infection. Encephalitilitis. Anyway, it's a condition where essentially it causes a problem with your immune system and you get an infection and it affects parts of your brain. And essentially this girl went through a horrific ordeal. immune system and you get an infection and it affects parts of your brain. And essentially, this girl went through a horrific ordeal. She had a seizure when she was in hospital and had all these complications.

And when she woke up, she was 22, but she thought she was 17. Wow. She thought she was still at school. She thought she was still at school. And the craziest part about this whole story is that she got a boyfriend when she was 19. Yeah. And he was there, obviously. Yeah.

When she woke up. But she has no idea who he was. Are you sure this isn't the plot line to that movie? It is very similar, but they had a car accident and she woke up. The Channing Tatum movie. Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. Yeah. But yeah, so this is a seizure she had

and an actual condition where people actually get this. Yeah. That was just the plot line to a film where they had to... I'm just saying, it sounds like you're reading the plot line to the film. Yeah, but very similar. And I was interested when I was reading this story, I was like, oh, I wonder if, because obviously they were in love. They were together for over two years.

I was like, I wonder if he made her fall in love with him all over again. Yeah. Because that's what he would have had to do. You'd have to be bothered as well. Like imagine. No, no, you would. You would. You would.

You would. Because. Excuse you. Well, just because they're together doesn't mean the relationship was in a good condition. Well, I'm picturing that it is. No, picture that it's not and then they lose their memory. Well, that's fine. You just don't go back to the hospital.

Yeah, and then you go, I got out of jail. I don't have to break up with this person. It's literally the perfect out. She won't even be none the wiser. No. Yeah. Exactly right. You know, the craziest part, though, is that she had done a whole degree.

Yeah, it's gone. She got a degree. Don't laugh so hard. It's not funny. Sorry. It's not funny. And she's got the degree. Like, it's all on, you know, like binding and whatever.

But she's got no idea. But it's not her fault. No. Yeah. Also, she's 17. So, legally, she can get into bars, but she doesn't think that she should be there. I mean, what a horrible situation.

Yeah. I mean, unless the last five years of your life have really sucked, and then you'd be like, sweet, start over. Bree and Clint. Look, The Bachelorette is about to wrap up here in New Zealand. Lucina and Lily are going to pick who they want to obviously continue dating

at the end of this show. What if they pick the same guy? No, I think they've both got their top twos. I just think it would make great reality TV. It would. Imagine this. All of a sudden, the guys think that the girls are doing the choosing, then they both choose the same guy,

and the guy has to do the choosing between the two bachelorettes. It would be great television, but I don't think that's going to happen. I hope that doesn't happen. But over in the US, the Bachelor season finale is just wrapped up, and I found this quite interesting because I don't know if I've heard of this happening on one of the shows before, but so at the moment, the bachelor's name in the US, his name was Peter Weber. And his final two ladies, he had one lady named Madison and another lady named Hannah Ann.

So they were the two ladies left at the end. And he really liked both of them, apparently. But it was interesting because apparently the way the show was going, he was really into Madison. That was who he was in love with. That's who he was swaying towards. And it wasn't until he had a conversation with his parents about who they thought was a better pick for him

that it changed his mind. Right, okay. So here's a clip of uh peter's mum talking about how he thinks uh she thinks hannah ann the other girl is the girl for him loves you with all of her heart don't let her go bring her home to us We will welcome her with open arms Oh yuck What is going on? Chill out mum It's a reality TV show

So the mum So let me get it clear The mum knows that he's leaning towards the other girl Madison yeah And she goes No you need to pick Hannah Hannah Ann is the one for you I've already made her a Christmas stocking.

She's my favourite and more my type. I will give her a rose. Anyway, I just find the whole thing ridiculous. So who did he choose? He ended up picking Hannah Ann, the other girl. The one his mum liked? Yes. Over the one he liked?

Yes. And how did that work out for him? So he proposed to her in the last episode. It was a big ordeal. And then anyway, they came back for the finale show and guess what? They'd broken up. Really? Mm-hmm.

So it didn't work? No. He should have followed his heart in the first place. Exactly. Right, fascinating. Okay. Isn't that crazy? But obviously his mum had some sort of sway.

What happened to the other girl? Did the other girl get a look in again? Well, it doesn't say in this article, but I wonder if they got back together maybe or maybe the mum was like, no. She's like, you can break up with her, but I still don't want that other girl. Yeah.

Maybe that's it. Maybe the mum didn't actually like Hannah Ann that much. She just hated the other girl. She really didn't like Madison. She really didn't like her. She really didn't like her. That can happen and it can put a real sort of, a real wedge in between your relationship, can't it? Yeah, if your parents don't like your partner

or if you're not liked by your partner's parents. It changes things. It changes the dynamic. It changes all the social interactions and everything and there's so much pressure on your relationship after that. I want to ask people on 0800DIALSATM do the in-laws hate you? Yeah.

Or do your parents dislike your partner? Yeah. Is it not comfortable at Christmas for you because you don't get along with your partner's parents? Oh, that makes it hard, doesn't it?

0800DIALSATM You can text your stories to us on 9696 as well. And you can be anonymous if you want If the parents may or may not be listening Yeah, that's totally fine too Or you can be loud and proud We'll take that as well The Bachelor US

I mean, I don't know how many people here in NZ are watching it But I noticed an article online That was talking about some serious stuff that went down uh so the guy peter he's the bachelor he had two girls to pick from at the end madison and also hannah ann uh he met up with the parents and the parents were you know giving him a talk about who they liked they said oh we're we love hannah ann we think she's perfect for you he said oh but i'm in love with madison uh they said no you got to. He said, oh, but I'm in love with Madison. They said, no, you got to pick Hannah Rand. He said, but I'm in love with Madison. So then he ends up picking Hannah Rand, goes with what the parents want. And then he breaks up with Hannah

Rand. And then at the finale, she's like, what happened? Why would you propose? And he was like, oh, but I was in love with Madison. So then they got back together. And then two days later, they broke up as well. I'm exhausted. Basically, he didn't choose someone because his parents didn't like them. Exactly. That's the long and short of it, right? And it turned out to be a fatal mistake for his relationship. Exactly. Because he didn't listen to his heart.

He listened to his parents. You need to trust yourself. So we're asking you, has this happened to you? Or is it happening to you right now? Yeah, do the in-laws not like you and why? We're going to talk to Cherie first. Hey, Cherie. Hi.

Is it you that is not liked or is it your partner that's not liked by your parents? No, it was me that wasn't liked by my in-laws. Oh, why, Cherie? At first it was I overheard them talking. They thought I had gone uptown with my partner, but I was in the shower. And I heard them say, my mother-in-law's failure her sister that um her son was all skinny because I didn't know how to cook because I was a vegetarian I'm a vegetarian oh straight for the

straight for the mum jugular she cut you where she knows it hurts in the food department and you overheard them yeah I heard everything and the funny was, was that I was training to be a chef at the time. So I was fucking amazing. But he still got meat. And they were also saying how I decide everything for him because I drive, but I drive because I get really bad car sick. I have since I was little.

Yeah. Oh, that's not too bad, driving someone around. I'd like that, Cherie. You can come drive me around. I noticed you were talking in past tense. Did the relationship fall apart? No, no. It was only for a couple of years it went on like that, Cherie. You can come drive me around. I noticed you were talking in past tense. Did the relationship fall apart? No, no. It was only for a couple of years it went on like that.

But no, I actually love them now. Oh, and did he obviously, he never let their opinion sway his opinion on you? No, not at all. He would just laugh at them. He'd stick up for me and laugh at them. That's good. Because there is a real risk that you're with someone who's too much of a mummy's boy to have an opinion for himself, right? And they just do what their mum says, yeah.

And they go, dude, your mum is crazy. She hates me for no reason. He goes, yeah, but it's my mum. Yeah, she knows. She knows. Yeah, and she does my laundry as well. We're going to talk to someone who wants to be anonymous here. Hi, Anonymous.

Hi, Anonymous. Hello. What happened to you? Well, it wasn't, I guess it wasn't actually to me So my mum didn't like my ex Right And she went and got like a whole new phone And text my friend

Pretending to be a girl that my ex had apparently cheated on me with So that my friend would tell me And then I'd break up with him. Whoa. Your mum got it. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Your mum bought a burner phone to text your friend to pose as a girl who said that she hooked up with your boyfriend.

How's your relationship with your mum now? Oh, no. Well, I didn't actually fight. Like, me and my ex didn't break up over that because we, like, figured out that it was, like, not true. Yeah. And then I didn't actually find out it was her until that relationship was, like, done and dusted,

like, a couple of years later. Whoa. But it definitely took a long time to get back to, like, a good place with her. Yeah. Yeah, I bet. That's hard. Did she think she was coming from a good place?

Yeah, I think it was, like, done. Like, she thought that she was trying to do the best for me, but it was like. Yeah, but just not going about it in the best way. I can just imagine Anonymous, how you found out that it was your mum, because typical mum on technology, she would have been like, send all the messages, XOXO, mum.

I think the perfect song for us to have played. It's got a fantastic message in it that we all need to hear at the moment. A Thousand Miles, Vanessa Carlton was good, though. Yeah, it would have been good. It would have been very good. Oh, just gives you the feels. Why didn't you vote for it, then?

Because I didn't want to be difficult, and you wanted love generation, and I just want to be easy for everyone. Oh, this is good, though. Such a martyr. A martyr? Isn't that when you have to... Wait, what's a martyr? Someone who...

Traditionally, it's someone who dies for the cause. You're like, no, I'll go my own way for Bob Sinclair. Is it? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. And I need you. And I miss you. Bree and Clint. This conversation started between you and I miss you Bree and Clint

This conversation started between you and I a couple of days ago. Clint? Yeah, it did. I didn't know I was going to evolve into such a competitive thing, but here we are. But here we are. Here we are. You know, and in times like this, sometimes you just need to do a bit of pointless fun. Mm-hmm.

You know, sometimes it just needs to be not really for a reason. Also in times like this, sometimes you just need a cup of tea. fun. Mm-hmm. You know, sometimes it just needs to be not really for a reason. Also in times like this, sometimes you just need a cup of tea. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And that's why we're about to do the dunk off. Essentially the rules of the game. You and I, Clint, will each get given a cup of tea that has been made specifically by producer Ellie.

Both exactly the same. We will then take a milk arrowroot biscuit and we will begin the dunk off. So you know we are using a single arrowroot. Single. There's no butter between the biscuits whatsoever either. I don't like to butter my biscuits. I don't know about you. Me neither, especially if I'm dunking them.

Right. So then the game is you dunk your biscuit. We will dunk our biscuits at the exact same time. The longest person to leave their biscuit in the hot tea will win. But once you take the biscuit out, it needs to stay together for more than 10 seconds. Mm-hmm.

Because if it doesn't, the other person will win by default. I've got a question. Yes. How much of the biscuit must be dunked? I'm going to table 50%. I believe... There must be a minimum of 50% of the biscuit in the tea. I believe that should be up to the dunker. Nah.

No, because it has a bearing on the weight. It absolutely has a bearing on the weight that's weighing down on the biscuit. If you're just dunking the tip, then the tip is not going to fall off. Okay, let's go more than 30% though. More than 30%? So let's go. So a third of the biscuit. Basically, you're saying up to the A.

Up to the A. Up to the A on Arnott's. Yep. Okay, can we agree you have to dunk at least up to the A? Okay, coronavirus air shake on itott's. Yep. Okay, can we agree? You have to dunk at least up to the A. Okay, coronavirus air shake on it? Yep. Coronavirus air shake. There we go.

Okay, cool. Producer Ellie, present us with our cups of tea, please. Thank you, Producer Ellie. I feel like... There you go. Thank you, Ellie. This is like an actual showdown where we're going to take 10 steps back. Quick sip for good sportsmanship.

All right. Okay? Sip. Good luck. Oh, it's hot. Oh, it's real hot. Quick sip for good sportsmanship. All right. Okay. Sip. Good luck. Oh, it's hot. Oh, it's real hot. Oh, it's so hot. Oh, shit, sorry.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, yeah, it's hot, guys. Sorry. I'm good to go. Are you? I'm fine. That was nothing. I don't even care.

I'm glad I'm burnt. Producer Ellie, you can call this match the dunk off. When you're ready, we're ready. All right. I'm going to start the timer in 3, 2, 1, dunk. I'm at the A. I'm at the A. I'm feeling good. Have you removed yours already?

I'm taking it out. You're all right. Okay, I'm going to hold on a little bit longer. I'm going to remove it. 10 seconds? 10 seconds. Bree, you've now done 10 seconds. Okay, so I'm going to hold on a little bit longer. I'm going to remove it. 10 seconds? 10 seconds. Bree, you've now done 10 seconds. Okay, so I'm good.

Come on, fall. Fall, damn it! Clint has won. Can I just say, I'm just going to give mine a little shake because I can see it wobbling how close I was to disaster. Oh, no, I'm fine. Could have gone longer. Could have gone longer. I feel like I want to go again tomorrow.

Can I just say, yeah, I'm going to have to replace her again tomorrow. Can I just say, I've just eaten it. It's way too soggy. Like, for consumption levels, it's way too soggy. Yeah, definitely. It's a very soggy biscuit. Producer Ellie, what were our times? How long did I last, the winning time?

So you lasted 12 seconds. 12.53 seconds. Better than what you usually last. I'm going to suggest that tomorrow for the Dunk Off, because 12 seconds is pretty out there, do we change the biscuit? Do we take suggestions on what a good dunking biscuit is? Is this what radio has come to?

Yeah, it is. But hey, I'm keen. I'm keen. I've already said that I love the idea of a crispy as a dunking biscuit, which you've never tasted Bray, that's a fun experiment for you. Which I feel like that could be to my disadvantage but I'm willing to take on the challenge. You know what I'm going to say? And you can agree

with me on this if you like. I say we change the biscuit tomorrow but the producers decide what the biscuit is so it gives neither of us a chance to practice with that biscuit tonight. Because I know you,

if we play with Arrowroot you're going home tonight and you're running experiments on 15 different cups of tea and you're coming in here prepped. I'll be up till 2am doing that. Okay, fresh biscuit tomorrow. You can text in suggestions

but the final decision will be made by our producers. What are we doing? I do love a Okay, fresh biscuit tomorrow. You can text in suggestions but the final decision will be made by our producers. What are we doing? I do love a milk arrowroot biscuit though. Yeah. They're underrated, I feel. Needs butter. Sometimes I put up with a lot of crap

from you guys on this show. You do. I'm dragged through the mud. You put up with crap from us. I'm made fun of. Right. You know, it's all banter but sometimes it hurts. Right. And sometimes I'm like,. You know, it's all banter, but sometimes it hurts.

Right. And sometimes I'm like, you know what? It's all just them taking the piss, ganging up on me. But I had a realisation last night that maybe one thing you guys have made fun of me for could be true. Okay. This is good. This is good self-reflection. Yep.

So something, I'm just going to put it out there. What is something that all of you guys have made fun of me for on the show? And it's to do. The way you talk. Your accent? I was going to give you a hint. You're Australian. I was going to give you a hint.

Shut up. Okay, you go. It's got to do. What's the go. It's got to do with... Oh, did we not nail it? Is it something else? I asked for this. It's got to do with my car. Oh, you're going to boy race a car.

I drove past your car last night in the car park, and I looked and I went, what was going through her head when she bought that vehicle? Because it's like a Fast and the Furious wannabe car. It looks like an Evo. Yeah. But it's just a regular Mitsubishi. You know the saddest part is I bought that car brand new

and I put the rims on it. And the spoiler. No, it came with the spoiler. What about the scoop kit at the front? No, it doesn't have a scoop kit. What about how the nose slightly points down and the kit at the front? No, it doesn't have a scoop kit. What about how the nose slightly points down and the boot slightly points up? No, it doesn't. It does not.

I put the rims on it. I will admit that. I thought they were cool. Turns out someone who also holds the same opinion as you guys is renowned New Zealand and world comedian Chris Parker. I love Chris Parker. I gave him a lift home last night after this thing we were at and we walked down into the car park and I pressed the thing on my car.

And by the way, it's not a cool car. It's like a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. And he goes, ooh, swanky. He goes, when's your next race? I'll come out and watch. And it gave me an idea because obviously I've got the car and I thought should we put it to the test? I've got the boy racer car.

Should we have a four-way drag off with our four cars? I love it. I love it. I love it. Let's shut down an inner city street. And I feel like maybe we'll have heats. Yeah. And then we'll have a final. Yeah.

That's what I'm thinking. Or we could go one straight drag race over 100 metres. Whose car is the fastest? No, it'll be in a controlled. It's not 100 metres, mate. You have the car and you know nothing about drag races. We race over a quarter mile and we race for pink slips, okay? Loser gives up their car.

Winner takes everything. That's how we race. All right, Vin Diesel. Shocker not taking Ellie's car. I know, I'm gutted about this. Can you drive your own car? Huh? Yeah, you drive your own car.

We're all going to drive our own cars, so I had the idea. We'll do it in a controlled area, racetrack. Yeah, we'll go to the drag track. And we'll see who is the ultimate boy racer slash girl racer. It's 2020. Nice. Yeah. I mean, I've got the car.

Does it have the chops to go the quarter mile? I've never been happier to own a Honda Accord station wagon. Euro 2.4 litre VTEC engine. Oh, well, that's not fair. I know for a fact my car's only a two litre and it's old, so it's probably 1.8 now. I don't know how many litres are in my car. You've barely got any cylinders in your car.

Yeah, right, we're racing. All right, we're going to race. Tune in throughout the week to hear who will be the ultimate winner. Vroom, vroom, bitch. ZM's Free and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards. Easy.
