Cool, let's do it, Ben. Are you recording out there? I am, but I need... G'day everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast.

I was going to say, you can lose your job for that. No, I've had eight. I've had eight beers. I've had eight beers. No, I've actually only had one. I was going to say, you can lose your job for that. No, I've had one beer.

Anyway, I'll turn you off for a second. Producer Ben, what have you always wanted to say? What have you always wanted to say without Bree hearing it? Nothing. What have you always wanted to say about her? I'm right here. She made fun of my hat today on social media, and I've got no time for her. I haven't seen that.

I thought that, come on. Come on, on though in your opinion take yourself out of it in my opinion take yourself out of it good guy if I take myself out of it it's just a hat good gag no I don't care you smile and laugh done it I saw you like it's different but every time I sell if you want to see more I like this hat by the way I bought it on a whim As I walked past the store I was like a lady in a movie

We'll play 7 seconds. You've just got to be able to think fast enough and name as many things in a topic that we

We want to put it in someone's bank account for the weekend. Next, a radical new proposal for New Zealand that would see the end of

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Bebo, yeah, if you're still using it that'd be gone too. There's a plan in place to ban social media in New Zealand. It's real, it's going to Parliament at the moment and we'll give you the details on it after Ellie Goulding.

This is close to me. Bree and Clint. ZM. Even though we both know where... Bree and Clint. Clint, your wife Lucy is pregnant at the moment.

Is she? Yeah. Who's the father? She told me. I don't know if... You knew about it. Just kidding. We're having our 20 week scan.

So wait, how many months is that? Halfway point. Right. It's about four and a half. Four and a half, five months. Pregnancy's 40 weeks-ish. Right. It's about four and a half. Four and a half, five months. A pregnancy is 40 weeks-ish. Right. You are asking

the wrong person. I'm just excited for the scan. So this is going to absolutely blow your mind, this story. Yeah. Which, have you ever heard of a cryptic pregnancy? No, I've heard of a cryptic crossword, but not a cryptic pregnancy. So a cryptic pregnancy is a condition where females believe

that they are pregnant from anywhere from three to five years. What? Yep. How is that possible? So you could be pregnant with a five-year-old? So I don't know exactly how it works and there's a lot of people who say it doesn't exist but there's a lot of people who say it doesn't exist. But there's a lot of females who say it does exist. Okay.

And it happens to them. Yeah. So they reckon it's this hormonal imbalance of the mother's system. And when they go and get tests done and stuff, all the scans and all the tests and everything say there's no baby. Yeah. But their body tells them that there is. Yeah. But their body tells them that there is. Yeah. So there's mothers online who actually post about when this has happened to them. So their journey where they post pictures of their belly,

they post pictures of their scans. So they get big. Yes. They get a big pregnant belly. Yes. But they're just pregnant for way longer. So they don't have their periods and stuff too because they're pregnant? I don't think so.

I mean, I don't know all the intricate details. Yeah. But the article that I've read, yeah, apparently they go through all the symptoms that you have. So do they ever have the baby? I'm pretty sure, yeah. Eventually. But the doctors claim that they're not pregnant for that long

because all the tests say negative. God, if my poor wife Lucy. Can you imagine? She's at the halfway point at the moment and her belly is showing. Yeah. And it's only going to get bigger. They reckon the baby at the moment is 25 centimetres. Okay.

At the halfway point. Yep. If this poor woman had to be pregnant with my baby for five years, she honestly, she would divorce me. She'd be like, I hate you. Get this thing out of me. Because I'm not a small guy either. And I already feel bad for her on that front,

if you know what I mean. I was a big baby. Big baby. I was a nine pound three. So there's all of that. Imagine if you kept incubating it for five years. I don't think the baby gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. And then just walks out. Yeah, right. At the five year point it just walks out, grabs its school bag and it goes, what's for lunch?

And you're like, alright, cool. I've never heard of it. It's crazy. I just wonder if these women who have these cryptic pregnancies, do they just get to have whatever food and all the cravings for three to five years? Because if that's the case. That's the upshot for you. You get to eat whatever you want. Spoiler alert, you can eat whatever you want now.

You're an adult woman with your own money and no one to tell you what to do. Just letting you know. Right. If you want to live like a pregnant chick, go ahead. You know what you would love? Maternity pants. I'm telling you. Mate, I've already got them. Hey, this is news. There's a man in Wellington

who's petitioning the government to have social media banned in New Zealand. Interesting. The whole shebang. The whole lot. Get rid of Facebook. Get rid of Instagram. Get rid of Twitter.

Ban it from the country like they do in North Korea. I'm going to go out on a whim and say that it's going to be a very hard battle to win. I think so too, but it hasn't stopped them from doing it. And anyone can do this. Did you know you can petition the government to do anything you want? Really? That's how a democracy works. You put it out there

and you get signatures for it and then it goes to the government and they say, oh, people really support this. We should put a bill in for it. The problem is the way that these things get support these days is via social media.

It's the flaw in his plan. Benjamin Seely, he's 46 years old and we shouldn't ridicule him because his reasons are actually really good. I'm not ridiculing him. I'm just saying very tough ask. He said, I believe there are too many instances of cyber bullying and threats on Facebook and other social media sites. No one should put up with bullying by a complete stranger.

I agree. Absolutely right. But I think the chink in his armour here is those people have the ability to not use social media. Like if you're getting bullied, and I think this is the right advice, you shouldn't have to, but if you need an escape from it, just stay off.

Delete it. Just stay off. Like I remember when the Grace Mullane stuff happened and I put that thing up on social media. I got absolutely slaughtered by some of the worst people in the world, just like real personal cyber attacks. I just logged off for a couple of days.

Yeah, they're the scum of the earth. Yeah. Now, back to Benjamin's petition, which I agree with. It is earnest, and he has a good point. You know what I think is the thing that he's missed? Yeah.

Is that you're never going to get rid of social media. No. Not in a country like New Zealand. It's just too hard and too big to do that. Businesses run through it. And there's a lot of good things that come from social media. Yeah, good way to organise people, like the Tasman Fires and stuff. It's been a great way to get information out to people.

It's good memes. Great for memes. Good memes. Also, Bikini Babes. I have actually, and this is something that I've actually looked into personally before, about putting in a bill about harsher punishments for people who bully online. Oh, really? So that's an avenue that I think you can go down and look into.

I can't wait to see you stand up before Parliament. Mate, I'm the next Jacinda. Here's the thing. You want to know how Ben's petition is going? Oh, no. Because he can't promote it through social media, it's been up for two days. How many signatures?

26. Look, it's a start. It's a start. It's just... If he puts it on Facebook, it'll go well. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Yeah. Bree and Clint.

Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz. Dean, I'm super excited to hear who's the new person that's just got a Vegas residency. Oh, my goodness. Buy your one-way tickets to Vegas as we speak. Janet Jackson has landed her own Las Vegas residency

Now this is huge because she has She is the caliber of star That can pull in big shows constantly You know what I mean? Not everyone can pull this off This is a big deal Janet Jackson is the new Las Vegas residency We have not confirmed how much money she'll be making

But what I can tell you is this Britney Spears had signed on for a second Las Vegas residency She We have not confirmed how much money she'll be making, but what I can tell you is that Britney Spears had signed on for a second Las Vegas residency. She finished her first one. She made $170 million from that. Oh my God. Signed on for a second one. Yep, and just days before, cancelled

the entire thing because her father became ill and what happened was, this is an inside story, she didn't tell anyone. All of the dancers were on their way to rehearsal, everyone was booked, everyone had signed leases for Vegas, everyone had rented cars, everyone was living in Vegas, everyone was ready, she didn't even tell anyone. Boom, it came out, bang, and they all found out in like one second

that it was just off and they were all sent home. Can we transfer all those dancers over to the Janet Jackson show? Can we just make something work where she goes, okay, guys, I'll just do the Britney dance moves. It'll be sweet as. I can even do a couple of Britney songs. I think we can make something work, dude. I think it'll be okay.

Can't wait. Exactly. Also, Lady Gaga's ex has spilled the beans, right? Yeah, here's what's gone down. Do you remember her ex? His name is Tyler Kinney. He actually started with her in the UMI, You and I music video. That's how they became a couple.

Well, he liked a comment on Instagram calling Lady Gaga weird. Now, I know it sounds petty. You're like, really, Dean? Really? But this is petty and this says something. He agrees that she is weird, liking comments that she's weird on Instagram. And everyone, of course, saw it. Because when you are a mega superstar in Lady Gaga's ex

People are going to notice Did you call her weird? But she is weird And I don't mean that in a mean way Like she's the best kind of weird I like the word weird I think weird means you're different You're unique

You know? But I don't think that's why he was liking that About Lady Gaga I don't think it was in a nice way. Okay. Well, read into it what you will, I guess. But again, she absolutely is weird. There is no way that she is not weird.

All the good kind of weird. And I don't mean that in a bad way. Dean McCarthy, live from Hollywood. Thank you so much. Thanks, Dean. Bye, guys. Bree and Clint. This is a new video.

No, no, no. Hey, guys. Bree and Clint. This is a new year. Hey, guys. Welcome to another week of highs and lows with Ben and Ellie. This week, we got off to a bit of a slow start. Bree and Clint. Oh, kia ora, everybody, and welcome to the Bree and Clint show. And wait for it. 24 hours later, it got even slower.

Bree and Clint. And wait for it, 24 hours later, it got even slower. Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hi this week, Brie actually learned something. I was talking to Brie about how possibly Scott Morrison could be the longest serving Australian Prime Minister of all time. Anyway, we got talking about all the Prime Ministers you've had this century.

And Bree goes, when did the century start? Well, it's a legitimate question. 2010? So it's 2000, is it? Yeah, you were there when it happened. That's right. Me smart. And this week was all about the Khloe K saga.

So we asked you for your Kardashian storyline Hello What happened Emma? My partner at the time had been together about five years Basically in short cheated on me with my first cousin And to make matters worse I knew that she was pregnant at the time And was soon to be having a baby And it turned out to be his baby. What the hell Emma?

This week we're bringing you a brand new segment, What Happens Off Air? And this one was a bit of a smelly one. Check, check, check. Hello, hello, hello. When the mics are off. Can you hear this? Fuck off. Don't do it.

Don't do it. I'll throw a remote at you. I will. I you. I will. I will. I will. Too late. I already did. Oh, it stinks too.

This is not a professional working environment. I didn't sign up for this. This is a new... Brie and Clint. Brie, you're up for a food challenge, right? I know you. I love food and I love a challenge, so yes. These are the kind of things where there's a store and they say,

if you can do this, if you can eat this off our menu, you get this. You get a plaque on the wall or a shirt or something. I've got one for you. It's from Napier's The Pie Man Bakery and it's called the Donut Loaf Challenge. I do love a donut. Welcome to the show, Roger, the owner of the Pie Man. Are you the Pie Man, Roger? Absolutely.

Roger the Pie Man. Tell us what the Loaf Donut Challenge in Napier involves. Okay, so we've got a large family-sized donut. It's four of our normal ones put together and it's just a large donut. We do this all year round, but for two weeks in every year, we put on a challenge just to make it fun, and you've got to complete this donut.

You've got to eat it and have it swallowed in two minutes. Two minutes. Two minutes, Roger. Two minutes, yeah. I'm going to show Bree the donut. So it's a long cream donut, so it's not a round donut. Oh, yum. Oh, my God.

Is that the normal one, and then that's the real one yeah yeah so like roger said four times when you say loaf it looks about the size of like a sour dough or a ciabatta would you say that's about a bread loaf yeah yeah honestly it is that sort of size and what do they win roger what do we get if we complete the challenge so in general the standard uh say prize is you get your money back. So basically it makes it a free donut. Yeah. To spice it up, for the first person to do it,

this year they get $100 store credit. $100! Oh, that's pretty good. And I'm just looking at the prices. That would buy you 10 loaf donuts. Is that right, Roger? That's right. It'll buy, say, 10 of those big donuts.

Although I feel like after you've eaten one of these in two minutes, you probably never want to see one ever again. Roger? They can come back and use the credit whenever they want, even if it's just buying one thing at a time. They don't have to spend it at once. I'm lactose intolerant. Do you supply toilet paper?

Because after eating that, that's not going to be good. Roger, we're obviously in Auckland. We're a long way from Napier. What do you reckon the chances, if I scrutinise it and I make sure Bree performs to the strictest of rules, the two minutes, eat the whole thing within two minutes, do you think you could try and ship us up one of your loaf doughnuts?

Problem is it being fresh cream. Shipping might be a bit difficult for that. I tell you what, what if you just send me the donut and I'll put the cream in it? That could work. That could work? Okay, cool. I'll have my people talk to your people and we'll find a way to get this donut up to Bree. Two minutes.

What does it weigh, by the way? How much does this cream donut weigh? So to be fair, it's actually not that large in weight. It's only just over 500 grams. You've heard of the one kilo donut challenges around. That's just all about over-eating. That's just craziness.

This is just about eating it quickly in two minutes. It's only just over 500. It's not impossible. It's big in length, it's big in girth, but it's not big in weight. I will warn you, Roger, I have been known to fit 42 grapes in my mouth at one time. That is a true story.

That is Roger from the Pie Man in Napier. We look forward to receiving your donut. Appreciate it, Rog. Excellent, awesome. That sounds good. Thank you for having me on the radio.

Well done, Jonah. We've got a double pass for you to go and see Dean Lewis live in concert. Thank you very much. No worries. I like this game. It is a good game. Next on the show, zombie apocalypse? Mate, I'm going to tell you about how you're going to have to take cover

because the zombie apocalypse is coming. Sounds good. Hopefully the Dean Lewis concert has been and gone before then. Bree and Clint, ZM. Bree and Clint. This is scary, but I hate to say it. Clint, we're on the brink of a zombie apocalypse. Are we, though?

This could actually happen. How? I'm a big believer in zombie apocalypses. You're a doomsday prepper, eh? I'm not a doomsday prepper, but I do have a plan if a zombie apocalypse happens. My friend Cara's got rations and guns under her house. Okay, no, I'm not that crazy. So there's this story that has come out in America.

This is legit. And they're calling it pretty much the zombie deer disease. Zombie deer disease? Yeah, so there's a bunch of zombies that are being infected with this disease. They call it chronic wasting disease. Are there a bunch of zombies being infected or a bunch of deers being infected? Oh, did I say zombies? This is how much I believe in it.

A bunch of deers are getting this disease and they call it chronic wasting disease. Yeah. Where apparently it's really horrible. It's so sad. But pretty much the contagious disease affects their brain and then it affects their whole body. They end up looking kind of zombie-ish and then they die. Okay. It's real sad.

So they're saying a bunch of scientists, they reckon this could eventually affect humans. Yeah. We could all be infected by this. And all you have to do is eat the meat. So you get this disease, you get really sick and die. No, well, I mean, the deers are dying, yeah. I guess it's not really zombies then.

So where's the bit where the deers start eating other deers' brains and, like, feasting on them? And where's the bits where they bite other deers and those deers become zombie as well? Because at the moment, all you've brought to me is deer flu, which, yes, is sad, but it's far from a zombie apocalypse. I mean, I see that you're skeptical. And people, you know, some people are skeptical.

But one day the zombie apocalypse is going to be upon us. Okay. And the only person that's going to have a plan within our team is me. And like I said, my friend Cara. And Cara. All of you guys will all be eaten by zombies. Deer. Deer zombies.

Deer zombies. That'll die anyway. Cool. I've got a good solution. It's called a fence. Bree and Clint. Time is waiting. You only get one second of a song.

No hesitating. You only got one second. One second. This is the one second song challenge Where we get tiny little bits of songs Only a second's worth, funnily enough And we have to try and guess what that song is It's me versus you

I'll play and you'll be in a soundproof room And then you'll play And whoever gets the most, same songs Is the winner of the game, quite simple really All you need to know, I'm terrible Clint is good You need to leave the room I'm terrible. Clint is good. You need to leave the room.

Okay. I'm going to go first. All right. Producer Ellie, you're in charge. Hello. So you can pass, Clint. Yes. And you can just say artist

Oh, yeah, you're really good at poker face. Oh, no. I think Brie will definitely get here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously, you've got all 10. Not necessarily. You don't know that. Yeah, I do know that from your celebration that I could hear through the soundproof glass.

Can I get a drum roll? Mate, the only person that doesn't know right now is me, which I already know because I can see you bloody carrying on. The drumroll's for you. Drumroll's for you. Okay. Nine out of ten. Oh, what?

I thought I got ten. Hang on, what did I get wrong? No, there was one more you hadn't got to. Oh. You guys made me feel like I got a 10. For a second there, I thought I was the Grand Slam champion. This feeling right now is better than a win. Oh, well, something to aspire to, I guess.

You know, onwards and upwards. No, nine's still good. The future is bright. Thanks, Seven. My flatmate Annabelle is obsessed with this one place on Uber Eats called the Flying Burrito Brothers. In particular, the cheesy dip. She orders it, I'm going to say, two or three times,

maybe four times a week, every week from Uber Eats. It recently got taken off our delivery zone and we decided to call them to see what was going on. And the guys at the place recognised it. I was calling about the queso dip that you guys have there. One of my flatmates, she is absolutely obsessed with it and she orders it probably three or four times a week on Uber Eats. What's her name? I think it's Annabelle. It's Annabelle!

She orders it a lot, right? Not a stitch-up. Not rigged whatsoever. Not at all. If the place knows you by name, you're ordering it too much. Nah, if the place knows you by name, you deserve a loyalty card. You deserve your own special staff discount.

I think it's unfair that we throw my flatmate Annabelle under the bus because I feel like I could be in the same boat. How? Because you told me you deleted the Uber Eats app. I did, but I think I ordered from this one place enough last year that they will still remember me. What's the name of the place? The name is Bella Verona. It's a delightful Italian place.

I love the Bolognese gnocchi. I want to get you to ask them who are the most frequent orderers. Bella Verona, buongiorno. Buongiorno. I'm calling about the gnocchi that you guys do. Yes. Yeah, my friend orders it a lot from you guys on Uber Eats. Yes.

She orders it all the time, gets delivered to her house in Ponsonby. Do you know her name? Her name? Yeah. I don't know. Who would you say orders that dish more than anybody else? Maybe gnocchi caprese, you mean? The gnocchi bolognese.

I don't know, to be honest. We have so many orders. Yeah, it's very popular, right? Yeah, so I can't say one more. I mean, I see so many of you. Oh, that's okay, that's okay. It's very good, by the way. It's a beautiful dish.

I'm just going to throw some names at you and tell me if any of them stand out. Adam. I don't remember, maybe. David. Sorry, because I have kind of 100 orders a day. Bree. Bree Tomasell. Maybe Bree, because I remember yesterday, Bree, she ordered the gnocchi.

I remember also Rachel, she liked the gnocchi caprese. Yes, there's the one,chi. I remember also Rachel, she liked the gnocchi caprese. Yes, there's the one, yeah. Yeah. Would you say she's a low, medium, or high-use customer? Rachel, yes, the high one, because she often ordered the gnocchi caprese.

Okay, cool, beautiful. That's all. And if she came in, you would maybe kiss her on the lips because she orders so much food from you guys or too far? No, because I'm married and my wife, she must be jealous. Beautiful answer. That's all.

Thank you for your time. What part of Italy are you from, by the way? I'm from Verona. From Verona. Ah, fantastic. Okay, I'll catch you later. Ciao. Ciao.

There you go, mate. I'm ordering it too much. You're in the Hall of Fame. I love that. Adam, no. No, David. No, no. Brie.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She ordered from me last night. Brie and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's Birthday Banger. Birthday Banger. On a Friday where we're going to find the best song to play for a Friday,

drive home, kick off the weekend kind of feel, right? Hopefully it's a good one. First person up to play is Grace. Hey, Grace. Hi, Grace. Hello. What's your birthday? It's 9th of June, 1986.

Okay, Grace, you were 16 in 2002 on the 9th of June. And on that day, this was number one. Oh! How good. He's here this weekend as well. He is performing in Wellington. In Wellington. How do you feel about that, Grace?

You get Eminem without me. Yeah, I like it. It's good. It's appropriate. It's topical, is what it is. Okay, let's do another one. Hi, Mike. Hi, Mike. What's your birthday?

28th of October 1985. Okay, Mike, you were 16 in 2001 on the 28th of October, and this is your birthday banger. Also a banger. You get Kylie Minogue or Australian Lord. Oh, come on.

Well, is she not? Who's your favourite Minogue? Oh, Kylie. Yeah. Like I'm going to say Danny. You know people love Danny Minogue. Yeah, British people love Danny Minogue. Yeah.

Mike, how do you feel about Kylie Minogue? It's one of those guilty pleasures, isn't it? It is. Also, aren't you seeing Kylie Minogue. Yeah. Mike, how do you feel about Kylie Minogue? It's one of those guilty pleasures, isn't it? It is. Also, aren't you seeing Kylie Minogue this weekend? Well, I thought she was performing at Mardi Gras in Sydney, but I think she's just there. Oh, just visiting. I think she's in the parade.

If she gets drunk, she'll do some karaoke. Isn't that how Mardi Gras works? And last one, Sally. Hey, Sally. Hi, Sal. Hi. What's your birthday? 1st of one, Sally. Hey, Sally. Hi, Sal. Hi. What's your birthday? 1st of September, 1984.

Okay, Sally, you were 16 in the year 2000, the millennium on the 1st of December, and this was top of the charts. Churn. Charlie's Angels, wasn't it? You guys could play this for the women's show that you're doing, the special ZM International Women's Day women's show that you're doing next week. Oh, such a good suggestion.

Yeah, although you can't use it because you got this idea from a man, so sorry. Damn it, all the good ideas come from men. Damn it, why are we so good at stuff? Oh my God. Just kidding, enjoy your show. What are we playing today? Eminem's here in the country.

But you don't hear Kylie on ZM very often. You don't. Not even secretly. I love that song. It's a good song. Should we play it? Yeah, why not? Let's play some Minogue. It's not even yours, Grace. Yours was Eminem. But I'll let you know anyway. We're playing Kylie Minogue.

Yay! Oh, she's jamming! I know it's not even yours, Grace. Yours was Eminem, but I'll let you know anyway. We're playing Kylie Minogue. Wow. Oh, she's dead on. This is birthday banger, Brianne Clint, ZM. Brianne Clint. Get ready, New Zealand, to fire up because we've got another airport story for you. No, I like to think of this as another edition of Producer Ellie complains about stuff.

You literally are always in here complaining. No, she's got a good reason. Last time you were here, you were angry at someone at the Aqua concert. Yes, I was. I was. What was the other one? There was another one. Oh, bus guy with the loud music.

Angry guy on the bus who didn't have headphones. What's happened now? This time, I was boarding a flight with Bree the other day when we went to wellington and i got to my row i was in the c seat which is the no sorry the b seat which is the middle seat and the whole row was already full and i was like hi and the guy in the middle was like oh are you ellie i was like yep i'm in your seat and i was like yep uh okay yeah that yeah he's like sorry not me exactly and he's, sorry, this guy's in my seat because that lady's in his seat. So literally this whole row was just full of people that shouldn't have been there. So some rando lady had just sat in the window seat.

Yes. And that had caused the domino effect of the whole row. And Ellie, the unlucky passenger, had turned up last. Yes, exactly right. And so I was standing there going, oh, well, um, uh, and then this lady was on the phone, and she was sort of just, like, turning her head away. I was like, is this on purpose, or is she genuinely on the phone?

The lady that caused the whole ruckus. Yes, yes. And so I was like, oh, okay. And then I sort of went, hey, air hostess, there's a seat issue going on here. And so she was like, oh, yeah. Yeah, some bloody lady. I was going to call her a bitch.

Some, yeah, don't. Well, lucky you didn't. No, so rude because I was there, Clint. I was there. I heard this unfold. This was in row 13. I was in row 11. Bree heard the kerfuffle and I swear she was more angry than I was.

I was fuming. Because the lady just decided she would sit in this random seat because she wanted a window seat. Guess what, lady? That's not how life works. All right? So this lady, the air hostess, goes up behind her and says, hey, you're in the wrong seat. And she sort of goes, oh.

It was almost like she didn't understand. Oh, she knew. Yeah, I think she knew. In hindsight, I think she knew. But meanwhile, you've got to remember that there's people lining up the aisle. And I feel like I'm holding that up. Even though it's not my fault, I feel like I'm holding it up. So I start not my fault i feel like i'm holding it up so i start getting real anxious so at this point had you put all your bags into the overhead i had yes i had and then um the lady was like oh

okay and so the boys that the men start getting up and then finally the lady sort of reacts and at this point it was so awkward for me that i just went you know what well she didn't get up no she did not get tried but not really no she didn't. And not at any point did she really try and get up. So I was like, hey, what seat is she in? I'll just go and sit in her seat if that's okay. I thought she was going to say to me that's illegal or something. And I was hoping I'd get my seat back. But she didn't.

She was like, oh, okay, cool. If you wouldn't mind. I was like, oh, okay. Well, hopefully this lady had a window or an aisle seat, not a middle seat. Anyway. So you were 13B. 13B. Row 13

And this was a big plane Yeah And where'd you end up? I ended up in 32B I had to wait about 20 minutes To like onboard the flight when we landed I was really annoyed I had to wait for an extra 15 minutes

For this producer over here Gosh And I had to unpack my bags From the overhead locker as well So it was all very awkward The thing is Yeah The thing is Clearly this woman producer over here. Gosh. And I had to unpack my bags from the overhead locker as well. So it was all very awkward. The thing is, the thing is, clearly this woman knew she was in the middle seat in 32B, probably the worst seat on the plane. It was pretty bad, yeah.

The worst. Doesn't get worse. She goes, I don't feel like sitting in that seat today. I'm going to pick this aisle and just sit in a window seat. In hindsight, I kind of wish I'd just, you know, put my foot down. But at the same time, when I've got all these people moving around me, it was just easier, in my opinion, just to move myself. So I did it.

Clint, I need to ask you. Yeah. I need to ask you. Yeah. What would you have done? I would not be in this situation because I'm a Coru member and I thank my lucky stars every day that I am. Shut up, Clint.

Bree and Clint. I've got some exciting news for you this afternoon, Clint. I can tell by the tone of your voice that you are not joking. This is big. This is breaking courgette news. Oh, yeah. Zucchini news, some will know it as. So what's the deal?

I've never heard of zucchini. They're the same thing. So why do some people call it a courgette? Same reason some people call an eggplant an aubergine. It just has two names. Weird. Strange. Anyway, this is big. Just like how some people call apples crunchy reds.

No one's doing that. Yeah, crunchy tomatoes. No, no one's doing that. No. This is big courgette news and it's really exciting for one Auckland woman who made it her quest last September. September the 9th to be exact, when Katrina

Hunter from North Auckland decided she wanted to see how big she could grow a courgette. What was that date again? September 9th. Coincidentally, I believe that's the first day of courgette season. Is it? Oh, great timing. I mean, Katrina, she went on this quest to grow this massive courgette and she planted a bunch in her garden.

She ended up growing 63 courgettes. 63 courgettes. I mean, that's enough courgettes for a stew, isn't it? Well, they go quite fast. They do. You even grate up a courgette and put it into your food to hide it from yourself. It goes very quick. So you don't know that you're eating vegetables.

You forget about it. Like a child. Yeah. I don't mind a courgette. What about a courgette pasta? Do you do a zucchini noodle? Don't mind it. A zoodle?

Yeah, don't mind it. Need a spiralizer for that though. Look, we're getting off topic. Tell me about this courgette. So Miss Hunter was very excited when she realized one of the 63 courgettes had grown to quite a large size. Excellent. It actually grown to the enormous weight of 4.6 kilos. For a person, not a lot of weight.

Look, here's a picture of it. Very visual for the listeners. Whoa! That is a big ass courgette. Can I describe what I'm seeing? Yes. She's used a clothing pig for scale. She's laid it on top of the courgette.

What would you say in your expert courgette opinion, how much bigger is that courgette from the normal standard courgette? I would say about 42 times the size of a standard courgette. It's quite large, isn't it? It's drastically bigger. We're not just talking like a large courgette and you go,

oh, this is a biggie. She's done well. This is a monster. She's done very well. 4.6 kilos. But then she was quite disappointed to realise that it was nowhere near the Guinness World Record for the largest courgette. What would that be? The largest courgette. Do you have a drumroll? Oh, yeah, I can get you a drumroll. The largest courgette ever grown in existence in the Guinness World Records is...

29.9 kilos what that's a small human being hmm now this brings up a lot of questions uh like what sort of fertilizer are you using uh what is the soil makeup where did you buy the steroids was it thailand or was it you know to put into that courgette? And what are you doing with basically 30 kilos of courgette? That's the main question. That is a massive lasagna. Hang on, who's putting courgette in their lasagna? I don't know. Freaks.
