Starting point is 00:00:00 Ellie's dawdling has rubbed off on Ben. On Dumpling Boy. Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast intro where Bree said she's got something she needs to share. Guys, I have something really exciting that happened to me over the weekend. Did you see a moose? No. I saw a moose knuckle.
Starting point is 00:00:16 Does that count? I also saw a camel toe. That is an exciting weekend. I actually did. I actually legit saw a camel toe. More common than a moose knuckle, funnily enough. Look up the stats. I don't mean to rush your story, but you've got to wrap this up within two minutes.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Okay, well, that's going to be quite hard. I'm not a quick storyteller. We all know that. That is true. Guess what happened to me on the weekend? What? Not organised. I had an adult water bomb fight.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Damn it. I was so hoping that would go somewhere else. Same. I was like, well, that's what it is. This is exciting. So, like, what do you do? Come on. Like, out playing water fights.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Hang on. How do you ever have an unorganised water bomb fight? So, well, technically. Like, someone has to organise the water bombs. Technically, it was an ambush. But we had bought the water bombs. We got those ones where you put it on the end of the hose and it drops all the water bombs into the bucket.
Starting point is 00:01:08 There's like 15 of them. Yeah. Very handy. It's revolutionary. Can you imagine having those as kids? I would probably still be able to feel the ends of my fingertips. Even better, we've got them now. Huh?
Starting point is 00:01:18 Even better, we've got them now. Anyway, we were filling up water bombs. We got ambushed by the boys who chucked water on us with a bucket. I mean you know not that inventive anyway they ran upstairs
Starting point is 00:01:28 you use what you need and you got in a war they ran upstairs to the bathroom but they left the window open and I pelted about six water bombs through the window
Starting point is 00:01:37 and hit them right in the head you threw water bombs into a house yeah that's against the rules total disregard for anyone's property that's against the Geneva Convention of Water Bomb War.
Starting point is 00:01:47 No, not this water bomb fight. Damn, you just hit them in neutral territory, dog. Yeah. That's like attacking someone in a church. No, that's like if you leave the window open, then it's free game. No, whoa. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Yes, absolutely. Respect the terms of engagement. Producer Ellie's on my side. Their fault for leaving the window Yeah You've got to be quick You've got to be clever Right Anyway
Starting point is 00:02:10 I got hit so hard in the arm That I got a bruise Really Show me From a water bomb Oh no wait Hold on Is it still there
Starting point is 00:02:17 Can you kind of see that Doesn't look Oh no I think I can see a little bit Can you see Seems like you're faking it Oh shut up. Here's the podcast, everybody.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Hey, Google, what's the time? It's 3 p.m., give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on? Brie and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint.
Starting point is 00:02:46 G'day, guys. Happy day after the weekend day. Yeah, happy day after International Women's Day. Oh, that's right. It was yesterday, wasn't it? Are you hungover from International Women's Day? Did you and all the women get real lit on Sunday? Yeah, because that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:02:59 It's all the women where we congregate. Yeah, I don't know what you guys do. We just have heaps of rosés. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, yeah, we just talk about periods and, you know. Is that what you guys do? Yeah, that's pretty much it. Why don't you guys talk about fun stuff?
Starting point is 00:03:11 Oh, periods can be fun. Can they? No. Never. Today on the show, two chances at ZM's Secret Sound. Four and five. This thing is going bananas at the moment because one, the money is so big.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And two, as more and more guesses fall, I guess some people's picture is getting clearer. I don't know, but it is really, really hot, so if you want the chance to call for that, you'll hear the activator in our show just before four and just before five this afternoon. It's so hot. I went to get laser hair removal
Starting point is 00:03:40 on all my bits this morning and my laser hair removal lady, Jo, she was like, do you know what the secret sound is? All the girls here are playing, I need to know what it is. As she ripped off your wax pad, she was like... She was like... Is that it? Is that it? She goes, is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Wait, wait, let me use this laser machine. Is that it? Is that what it is? Has anyone guessed Bree getting her waxed in ZM Secret Sound? I'm not sure if they have. If you want to check the guesses, you can find them at ZM online and have your guess this afternoon. As well as Secret Sound pandemonium, the world is still in toilet paper poodemonium at the moment.
Starting point is 00:04:18 It's a poo-ocalypse. It's a poo-ocalypse and a poo-calypse, whatever you want to call it. It's really starting to consume. You couldn't buy any toilet paper this morning, could you? No, I went to Countdown and bought one ply. And there was one packet of one ply left. Right. And I scooped it up and I thought, well, this is going to be an experience.
Starting point is 00:04:37 You've got to use what you've got to use in a desperate situation, right? Yeah. A toilet paper success story for you on the show next? Yeah. A toilet paper success story for you on the show next. Yeah. A toilet paper. God, we talk about some weird stuff, don't we? The mainstream media only want you to know toilet paper bad stories. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:53 We'll bring you a happy toilet paper story next. This is 660 on ZM. Bree and Clint. I know the taste of my tears when they run. Bree and Clint. The world is going bananas at the moment. Not so much for coronavirus, but more for toilet paper. They're going ape for toilet paper.
Starting point is 00:05:11 We need to make this clear. There is no direct correlation between stockpiling toilet paper and boosting your immunity to coronavirus. Like scientists are yet to find how many rolls of toilet paper you require to avoid coronavirus? I was discussing with my friends over the weekend because we were talking about this. Why do you think it's been toilet paper that is the thing
Starting point is 00:05:34 people are going crazy for? Yeah, I don't know. Why isn't it canned food or water? But no, it is water. It's toilet paper and water. But why is it water? Because the water is not going to stop flowing And you can always wash your bum
Starting point is 00:05:49 We're not in a drought You can always just wash But like with food You can't magically make food Well you can if you grow it out of the ground But how long does that take? So whatever it is, we're in it at the moment You would have seen going around on Facebook
Starting point is 00:06:04 On the weekend the two women at Woolworths in Australia having a full punch-up over toilet paper. There's more action than the UFC. Yeah, that was in Sydney at a shopping centre in Sydney and it was two against one, can I say. In the fight? In the fight. I thought one of those ladies was trying to break it up.
Starting point is 00:06:32 No. Were they not? No, so one of them was mother and daughter. Oh, tag team. They had the giant trolley full of toilet paper. Yeah. And then there was another lady and all she wanted, and she says it in the video, she's like,
Starting point is 00:06:45 all I want is one. And they're like, nah. Nah, you're going to have it. Look, whatever's going on there, we told you we're going to bring you some positive toilet paper news. So here's a headline for you. Australian family accidentally orders 48 boxes of toilet paper amid coronavirus-fuelled shortage.
Starting point is 00:07:02 When did they order it, though? They ordered it, I think. Before this all happened? No, they ordered it because of this. Because this is happening, they decided to go online, and I think they wanted to get 48 rolls of toilet paper. So, like, a few dozen. I think that's four dozen.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Is it four dozen? Anyway, they wanted 48 rolls. They ended up ordering 48 boxes of 48 rolls. How much supply? How long would that last them? 12 years. Would it actually? How much did that cost?
Starting point is 00:07:32 This is the family talking about it here. We got a delivery of a couple of rolls of toilet paper. Actually, a couple of boxes of toilet paper. Actually, a couple of pallets of boxes of toilet paper. So we got 2,306 rolls of toilet paper. Actually, a couple of pallets of boxes of toilet paper. So we got 2,306 rolls of toilet paper delivered to us today.
Starting point is 00:07:51 2,000 something rolls of toilet paper. How much did that cost? It cost them $3,500 and $400 in shipping. Because it had to come on a truck. Oh my god. Their garage is stacked to the roof full of toilet paper. Does toilet paper go off? No, not if you keep it sealed up.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Like does it go mouldy? No, not if you keep it sealed up. Not if you don't use it. I was going to say unused we're talking about. So yeah, it costs them a lot of money, but they don't have to buy toilet paper for the next 12 years for their entire family. So I guess there's that upside, right? Like that bill is done.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You've faced the cost up front. And as toilet paper rises in cost, you will never face that cost because you put your money down first. I mean, how long is that going to last? And it takes up the entire garage. I had a friend last week on a much lesser scale than this post an Instagram story. She tried to buy six pairs of undies off ASOS
Starting point is 00:08:37 and she accidentally ordered 26 pairs of the same undies. But does she only wear one type of underwear? Yeah, she's like you and me. She just wears black undies. Hell yeah, perfect. So she's fine. She's fine. You're just good to go for the next like five years.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I thought we could take some calls this afternoon on 0800-DIALS-IT-M on what you over-ordered. Like it might not have been two and a half thousand rolls of toilet paper. Maybe it was like that lady in the UK that accidentally ordered 48 kilos of chicken that time. Yeah, yeah. Or that drunk guy who accidentally ordered 15 boxes of chicken wings.
Starting point is 00:09:08 That's right. That was last week. Yeah. What did you accidentally over-order? You might have ordered it for your work as well. Yeah. You might have been stocking up for them. Let us know on 0800DALZM.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Or you can text us on 9696. Bree and Clint. As the world goes crazy for toilet paper, one Australian family has made the news for accidentally ordering 2,306 rolls. See, this is what happens when you get into a state of panic and you make mistakes and boom, instead of 12 rolls, you order 1,200. This is why there's a shortage.
Starting point is 00:09:40 They've got it all. This family who live in Toowoomba have bought the entire state's allocation of toilet paper. Of course it's in Toowoomba have bought the entire state's allocation of toilet paper. Of course it's in Toowoomba. That's where my brother lives. Oh, it might be my brother. No, it's a family. They've created like a Game of Thrones style throne in the shed out of boxes of toilet paper.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Of course they have. They've got 48 boxes of toilet paper. And we want to know this afternoon on 0800 dial ZM, when did you accidentally overorder? You know, like... Remember Fletch from Fletch Vaughan and Megan that time? He accidentally ordered like a bunch of hats. Yeah, because he only wears the same flexi cap. Yeah, but he ordered like 50 of them.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah, he's been wearing that hat for like 15 years. Crazy. He's going to get his money's worth. Sarah, weirdly enough, you've done this exact toilet paper over order. The very exact thing. Yes, I did. How did you manage that, Sarah? Oh, the code in the booklet that you order from was,
Starting point is 00:10:36 I just put in the wrong code instead of 48. You can order a carton or you can order per roll. Right. And I put the wrong code in and 48 boxes turned up. You ordered 48 cartons of toilet paper. Was it personal or work? Work, thankfully. Okay, well at least there was more people
Starting point is 00:10:54 on board. What sort of workplace was it? Do you work in a place where you chew through toilet paper quite quickly? Not really, no. Luckily, they let us send it all back. I was going to ask that. Because they should have really checked, really. It's probably a common mistake.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Who orders 48 boxes? How often are people ordering 48 boxes of toilet paper? A few people on the text machine, someone texted her and they said, my mum accidentally ordered everything you can imagine from the shopping channel when she was high on post-op drugs in the hospital. Oh, wow. She came home and couldn't understand why she was receiving all these different parcels. She also has ordered 22 instead of two bottles of wine in her groceries.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Whoa. And also 20 kilos of sausages instead of 20. I think she just needs to stay off the online ordering, I think. It's not for her. No, it's not for her. Or she needs a debit card with a very low limit. Kelsey's here. Hey, oh, Keely.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Hi, Keely. Hello. Hey, what did you overorder? So my mum placed an order for 50 individual ballpoint pens and ended up ordering 50 boxes of 24. Oh. Whoa. That's going to take a lot of writing ordering 50 boxes of 24. Oh. Whoa. That's going to take a lot of writing to get rid of those.
Starting point is 00:12:08 What does she do with that? What does she do with all the pens? I think most of it's in storage. I think she uses maybe 10 a week. 10 pens a week? Wait, wait. I'm just doing the math. End of the day type thing.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I'm just doing the math. Your mum's got 1,200 ballpoint pens. Indeed. She'd be like the Justin Bieber of pens. She uses a pen once and chucks it out. You know how he would wear one pair of Calvin Kleins and chuck them out? Is that what he does? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Yeah, right. I would too if I was wearing those white Calvin Kleins. I wouldn't be recycling those. Yeah, I mean, who came up, can I just ask, who came up with white underwear? What are you thinking coming up with white underwear? Someone who doesn't have a butthole. That's who came up with white underwear.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Well, who is that? I'd love to meet that person. Jane, what did you accidentally over-order? Train tickets in Paris. How many did you order? Well, I meant to order two, and I thought my French was really good, and I determined that I was going to order them in French. Don't ask me to say what I actually said,
Starting point is 00:13:10 but basically I ended up ordering 20, and the guy looked really confused behind the counter because it was only me and my friend, and he said in French, I can't remember what it was, are you sure? And I'm like, oui, oui, oui, oui. Oui, oui, oui. Oui, oui, Jacques, put my tickets through.
Starting point is 00:13:27 And he handed over 20 tickets, and I was just too proud to back down. How much was that, Jane? You know what? I can't remember. You went through with it. You were too proud to give them back. You just went through with it.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I went through with it, because I had all these people behind me going, oh, yeah, there's the English slash Kiwi kid. He can't speak French. So I just went with her and we travelled through the metro for a long time. Let's do some translation, Jane.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Chardon, chérie means you're screwed, lady. We've got breaking moose news, New Zealand. Okay, good. I thought you were going to say it's Breaking Moose Knuckle News. No, Moose News. I was like, we can't do that at three o'clock. No one even said knuckle.
Starting point is 00:14:19 You just heard it for some reason. I just automatically thought. It's Breaking Moose News. Is that an actual moose? Yeah, it's a real moose. Southern Lakes helicopter pilot Ben Young was flying over the Fiordland National Park
Starting point is 00:14:35 on the weekend, Bree, when he believes he saw what can only be the fabled Fiordland moose. Show me the proof. What proof? The proof. What proof?
Starting point is 00:14:49 He said he saw it. Where's the proof? Oh, he was flying a helicopter. Yeah, so you can get out your phone. People. Oh, have you flown a helicopter? Have you? Yeah, I've seen him.
Starting point is 00:14:57 You just whip out your phone. I've seen him. You don't need two hands. You just whip out your phone. He said he turned around to go and have another look, but the moose was gone. That's what he said. This is what Ben says about the moose spotting over the weekend. I guess I've seen a few moose.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I've worked in Canada and that, and I'd seen a few deer earlier that day, and it didn't look like a deer. I looked again, and I was like, oh, it's a moose. All right, Ben, I was trying to make you... His story checks out. Yeah, I was trying to stand up for you, but... He goes, I've seen a few
Starting point is 00:15:25 moose. What is the plural of moose? Moose. It's one moose, two mooses. Meese? Not sure. Mooses. Moose are not native to New Zealand, but in the Fjordland National Park, they did release a whole
Starting point is 00:15:42 bunch of mooses in 1910. Back when people thought it was a good idea just to introduce random animals, like possums. That was a great idea, wasn't it? Yeah, that's how Bigfoot got out. They released a bunch of Bigfoot. Big feet. Big feet.
Starting point is 00:15:57 They released a bunch of them and then most of them unfortunately weren't made for that environment and they died off but then there's one that lived on. Well, so they say. One has lived on. No, that's true. The last photograph of a moose in the Fiordland National Park. That is the oldest photograph I've ever seen. It's from 1952. Yeah. So there's a chance that Ben did see a moose in the Fiordland National Park over the weekend. But yeah, he doesn't have any proof. Which means that this
Starting point is 00:16:27 moose sighting joins other mythical creatures like the Canterbury Black Panther that lives in the hills around Christchurch, the Rotorua Trouser Snake, which lives in an abandoned save mart in Rotorua,
Starting point is 00:16:44 and the South Island Kiwi that Ben saw over. Yeah, well, we know that, you know, there's no proof of that either. Was there, Producer Ben? No, he didn't give us any photos. No photos at all. No. There was that Photoshopped photo that you sent through.
Starting point is 00:17:00 This guy that was flying the helicopter, it's clear he did not see a moose. He was just really high. High up in the helicopter. High up in the helicopter, yeah, yeah. I guess I've seen a few moose. No, wrong. Over the weekend, I had a ripping weekend. Went to the Coromandel, a little place called Ha-Hay. It's a beautiful spot.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Beautiful. And I had a really, I guess, nice moment where I felt a sense of community. Oh, right. I felt a sense of togetherness. Yes. And I just felt a sense of, I guess, generosity. Did you go to a school gala? No, no. Bobbing for apples at a school gala? No, I didn't do that. Buying all those toffee
Starting point is 00:17:51 apples that's wrapped in red cellophane? Oh, how could it be toffee apples? Yeah. Yeah, that was so good. No. So people who've never been to Hahe, it's quite a small community, like a little beach community. There's not much there. There's like maybe one dairy, a pub and an ice cream shop. That's what you want. Yeah, there's not much. It's not much there. There's like maybe one dairy, a pub and an ice cream shop. That's what you want. Yeah. There's not much. It's, you know, getting away from it all and just, you know, going to the beach and whatever. And I was there with a group of people and we were there for one of our friend's birthdays. And one of the girls, we were all sitting there on the Saturday and she was like, oh, she had this big curry planned that she was making for dinner
Starting point is 00:18:26 to feed everyone. And she's like super into her cooking and like really likes to go all out and, you know, she puts a lot of pride into it. Anyway, she was sitting there and just taking out all of her ingredients because you have to bring all your ingredients from home or a supermarket, you know, it depends on where you're coming from because they don't have any of that. There's nothing at the batch.
Starting point is 00:18:46 No. Yeah. Anyway, so she's like looking through her stuff. She's like, oh, my God, no. I've forgotten two of the main ingredients, the kaffir lime leaves. Yeah. And the musselman, which is like the part of the curry. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Pace. Anyway, she was like panicking. She was in full like panic mode. Yeah, I wonder what the ha-hay dairy stocks of keffiyeh lime leaves are like. Yeah, I don't think it was many. I don't think she even bothered looking because she was like, I know they're not going to happen. They're two quite exotic ingredients.
Starting point is 00:19:17 They've got beer, milk and bread. That's it. And rice, if you're lucky. Yeah, they've got rice. Anyway. One type. Literally. White grain.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And we're all sitting there and then I think it was her actually that came up with this idea because they go down to Ha-He quite a lot and she was like, oh, we're a part of that community page group called Hello Ha-He. She's like, I'll just whack it up on the community page and ask someone who's in Ha-He if they've got, you know, these ingredients. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:44 And I was like, that is genius. It's literally the modern day way of asking your neighbour for a cup of sugar. Yeah. In theory, I think that's what every community page was set up to do. You reckon? But in practice, all it is is someone going, oh, how much is fuel at the mobile at the moment? It's so expensive.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Hey, someone stole a pair of socks off my washing line last night. Does anyone know why the police helicopter was buzzing around at 11 o'clock last night? That's all that happens in my community page, in the New Lynn one. It's just people having a whinge. Very different community to Hello Ha Hei. Yeah, right? This page, it was so wholesome. Anyway, she's posted it up there and she's asked, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:26 if anyone's got these things. Within five minutes, there was like a million people being like, I've got these two things, I've got the one thing, I've got this, and then this one guy pipes up. I think his name was Shane. He's like, hi there. I know where a kaffir lime tree is if you want me to take you to it. I don't know if anyone's living in the house where it's near,
Starting point is 00:20:45 but we can just sneak around the back. That is fantastic. What's the page called? It's called Hello Ha-He. I want to join the Hello Ha-He Facebook page just for fun. Like I don't live anywhere near Ha-He, but I'd like to join it. It sounds like a wonderful community to be a part of. I have tried to become a member and my request is still pending.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah, right. You've probably got to show some local ha-hey knowledge. There'll be a question to gain access to it, like all good community pages do. Exactly, which I mean, you know, makes sense. I wonder if there are other positive stories from people's community pages out there that we can take today. Yeah, what happened on a community page that you were a part of?
Starting point is 00:21:23 I hate mine. Like I'm thinking about leaving. Yeah, nothing good's happening there. There's so many, like, honestly. Or, speaking of other good things, literally this morning, my friend's cat went missing, and the community page, someone posted up there, I found this cat. See, that's again, that's a good way to use the community page.
Starting point is 00:21:41 They got their cat back. Okay, let's take some positive stories. Your local Facebook community page, which some communities cap back. Okay, let's take some positive stories. Your local Facebook community page, which some communities have got multiple pages, by the way, like there's rival pages. Someone got banned from the original, so they set up a rival page, and now there's warring community pages for the one suburb.
Starting point is 00:21:56 It's like this page 2.0, the good one. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Yeah, what's the good stories that came from your community page? Maybe you got some stolen goods back. Yeah. Maybe your pets.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Maybe you sold something on there. Let us know. Brian Clint, send him. I officially am hooked on community pages. I think they're a great idea. Yeah. And they really bring the community together. Over the weekend, use the community page
Starting point is 00:22:28 in Ha-He called Hello Ha-He because we'd forgotten certain ingredients. Lots of people came to our aid. Boom! Had the ingredients, all was saved, the curry was made and then again today, to back it up, we lost a cat and someone posted on the local
Starting point is 00:22:44 community page, has anyone seen is we lost a cat and someone posted on the local community page, is anyone missing a cat? And it was our cat. It was two houses down. Just went and picked her up. I'm just Googling the population of Ha-Hei. Yes, how many? It's a small beachside Coromandel township, 300 people.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Is it 300? And you had such a strong strike rate on the community page. Yeah. That shows that it's a thriving – I guess that's how a place like that stays afloat, right? That's how you get the message around about anything. Shout out to Lorraine Selwood, Philippa Hall. These are all people that came to the aid. Rachel Taylor.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I mean, the list goes on and on. Are community Facebook pages the way of the future? Are we behind the times? I thought they were naff. Maybe I'm completely wrong. Jordan, do you have a positive story about using your
Starting point is 00:23:28 community Facebook page? I do. I'm one of the owners of New Zealand Beatbox Community down in Christchurch. I asked a few friends if they wanted to come
Starting point is 00:23:37 into town to busk, make some money for Assistance Dogs New Zealand. Every single one of them said yes. So we went down with about seven or eight of us and beatboxed for the day in town and made over $100 for assistance dogs. Whoa!
Starting point is 00:23:49 That's cool. Well done. The beatbox community. See, community coming together. Do you want to drop a quick beatbox for us over the phone, Jordan? Oh, good idea. I would love to. Go on then. We'd love to hear it. please. Damn. Pardon you, Jordan. If I'm not mistaken, I think that was an acoustic performance of Sandstorm. I don't know what it was. I just made it up. That was awesome, Jordan.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Love it. Thanks, Jordan. We love it. Someone on the text machine said their positive experience with the community page. Someone goes, a few weeks ago, we had someone selling 50s and 20s on our local page. Shout out. I think they mean notes. Dollar notes.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yes, that's what they mean. Right? Yeah. And I mean, they were selling them for less than what they cost. Yeah, right. They were damaged or something. Ellen's here. Yes, that's what they mean, yeah. Right? Yeah, and I mean they were selling them for less than what they cost. Yeah, yeah, right. They were damaged or something. Ellen's here. Hey, Ellen.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Hey, how's it going? Good. Good. You have a positive story from a community page? Yeah, so I lived in Cornell, near Cornell a few years ago, and my wife lost her wedding ring for about, we lost it for five years, gave up looking for it. Going to move back here to New Zealand and we thought we'll post it up on our page.
Starting point is 00:25:11 My wife was constantly on it. So we put it up there and then some guy named Scott came to our aid, said he found the exact one. We sent him a picture of it and he said he found it about two years before that. You're kidding me, Alan. So the Cronulla Facebook page found your wife's lost wedding ring five years later. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:33 So we went around to his house and it was a specific, we lived around the Cronulla area, which was near, I don't know exactly what the name of the page was now. But yeah, it was a pretty awesome story. Can you tell me where did your wife lose the ring and where did he say he found it? Yeah, so we went shopping one night and she had taken it off and I think she had put it on top of the car to do something
Starting point is 00:26:01 and then when we reversed out of there, she had thought she chopped him at the car park. Yeah, and he found her at the car park. Far out.
Starting point is 00:26:10 You're kidding me. Five years on. Okay, that's it. I'm a member of my Facebook page forever. I'm sold. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:26:16 I'm joining every Facebook page for every place that I ever visit. I'm going to say it was my ring even though it wasn't and just pick up
Starting point is 00:26:22 heaps of wedding rings. Free and Clint. Oh my God. What? No way. I can't believe just pick up heaps of wedding rings. Bree and Clint. Oh my god. What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh my god, no. Are you f***ing kidding me?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Bree and Clint's Cliff Hangar. I love this game because we get some really good stories on. You tell us three quarters of a story from your life
Starting point is 00:26:40 and then people see if they can pick the correct ending. That's right. We'll hear your real ending. Clint and I will both write alternative endings and then people see if they can pick the correct ending. That's right. We'll hear your real ending. Clint and I will both write alternative endings, and then it's someone else's job to pick which is the real one. Welcome to Cliffhanger, Sam.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Hi. How are you guys? Good. Thank you, Sam. We heard you're a nurse, and you've got a story about a night shift for us. Yeah, I do. I was on afternoon shift, finished in the middle of the night. So, yeah, it's a bit unique.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Tell us three quarters of that story. Alright, so I did afternoon shift, finished up at 11.30 at night. My boyfriend was meant to pick me up but he decided to go out with his mates and he had my car. So I walked a lovely hour and a half, two hour walk to my mum's house to get a car so I
Starting point is 00:27:24 could go home. Which was a lovely hour and a half, two hour walk to my mum's house to get a car so I could go home. Which was a lovely stroll. And then I got her car, drove all the way home, walked into the house and found... Whoa. Cliffhanger, all right. Producer Ellie has the three endings, but she won't reveal whose is whose. Go for it, Ellie. Is ending A, found a naked girl in my wardrobe, so I drove her home with my cheating boyfriend in the back seat?
Starting point is 00:27:47 Is it ending B, came home to find my boyfriend cheating on me with one of my best friends butt naked in our living room? Or is the ending C, when I got home, I found my boyfriend in bed with my best friend. Worse still, in his rush to cheat on me, he'd left the keys in my car that he'd borrowed and it had been stolen from outside the house. What we do know is this cliffhanger involves cheating.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Can I just say, you know what is crazy? Because obviously Clint and I write our own endings without talking to each other, and we also don't know the real ending, but obviously we've all went down the same route. Unfortunately. I was hoping for Sam's case that there was an ending in there that didn't involve a naked woman that wasn't her.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Esther, you get one go at guessing the correct cliffhanger. What do you think it is? I think it's going to have to be three because it's way too specific to be fake. Right. We do talk a lot of BS for a living, though, Esther. Yeah. Ending three, the one where the boyfriend was cheating and the car had been stolen.
Starting point is 00:28:52 He'd left the keys in her car, got stolen from outside of the house. Okay, Sam, what is the correct ending to your story? I found a naked girl in my wardrobe and I drove her home. That would have been a very awkward carpool. It was for him. It was for him. Esther, sorry, no fuel for you today, but thank you for
Starting point is 00:29:17 playing. Oh, no worries. Thank you, Esther. Sam, I love it. She's like, I had a great time driving home. Yeah, talk us through that, Sam. So you, your boyfriend's in the back had a great time driving home. Yeah, talk us through that, Sam. So your boyfriend's in the back seat like a naughty dog. Yeah, pretty much. And the girl involved
Starting point is 00:29:30 didn't know that she was involved in a cheating situation. Is that right? Yeah, so he'd hidden all of my belongings from around the house in the wardrobe and then obviously
Starting point is 00:29:40 pushed her into the wardrobe and that's when she found out. Dirty dog. I wasn't in a relationship with her. It wasn't her fault. You were so mature. You were so mature to not be angry at her, though. Can I ask though, Sam?
Starting point is 00:29:51 You come home, talk me through it. How did you get down to that she was in the wardrobe naked? So when I walked through the front door, I heard a loud thud. And I was like, oh, I didn't realise we had elephants living with us. And I was just like, it was a very distinct sound. And when I went upstairs, here he is, butt naked, trying to be nice. And I could see something of his swinging on the door
Starting point is 00:30:13 of the wardrobe. And I was like, I know what I'm about to find here. Oh, my God. Well, all of that aside, we're glad that we can give you the mobile fuel today. Congratulations, Sam. Yay, Sam. Thank you, guys.
Starting point is 00:30:24 You deserve it. Bree and Clint. Let's do a taste test. It's time for another Bree and Clint taste test. We taste it so you don't have to. Why do I not feel good about this one? Well, this is something that I've actually found online and I have brought to the table this week.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And it's actually a Kiwi product, which is exciting. Okay. So this is actually coming out of Hawke's Bay and it was developed by an Auckland chef and TV personality, Saatchi Nomura. Oh, yeah. She pretty much, it came about by an accident, but it's actually a product she's developed that is killing it in America.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Right. She's selling millions of dollars worth of this stuff. Right. And it's all done, yeah, it's all from Hawke's Bay. What's the item? What's the food? The product that she has launched, and it's going very well in California mainly is something she likes to call avocado
Starting point is 00:31:29 milk. Avocado milk. Okay. So apparently the drink has 40%. Oh no, you've made avocado milk and you're going to make me drink it. Has 40% of a regular sized avocado in one 800ml bottle. Producer Ellie, if you would like to bring in... Yuck. We've actually got our hands on a few bottles. You have not. You've put an avocado in a blender. No, this is definitely...
Starting point is 00:31:56 Oh, my throat's closing up. This is definitely the real product. We haven't made this, I can assure you. It's like a McDonald's thick shake. It's avocado milk. Of course it's going to be thick. It's not, this is more like avocado cream. Yeah, same thing. This looks like an avocado face mask. Have you
Starting point is 00:32:14 ever had avocado milk? No. Well, how do you know the texture? I'm going to do it. I'm going to try it with you. This is the actual product. No, it's not the product. It's not the product. You and Ellie have spent the last six minutes in the kitchen. What is in it? Before I drink it, what is in this?
Starting point is 00:32:30 Pretty simple. Is it avocado and milk? Is that what you've... Yeah, that's pretty much it. Okay. All right. Cheers. So not the real product, but, you know, we can't buy it here yet,
Starting point is 00:32:42 so we'll taste it now. Okay. Bon appetit. Oh, it smells avocado. Oh, it smells like straight avocado, which I don't mind. It tastes like really smooth guacamole, but with milk in it. Hold on. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Not good. No, it's not good. Why are we taste testing the new peanut slabs? The peanut slab ice creams. Health is wealth. No, this is disgusting. It's time for another Bree and Clint taste test. We taste it so you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Actually, it's not too bad. Thumbs down, Saatchi. Bree and Clint. Over the weekend, I had a bit of a, I a I guess serious conversation it was quite heavy with one of my mates um and she was telling me about I guess she was going into depth because I kind of always knew that her and her boyfriend's relationship was secret and it's to do with where her family's from their religion and beliefs and a lot of different things around that. Who's it a secret from?
Starting point is 00:33:48 So their relationship, they've been together for five years. They live together. They're planning on getting married, having babies, all that. Yeah. And all of their friends know. We all know. We've known her boyfriend for years since they first, you know, started dating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 But none of her family or anyone that's related to her knows anything about him. Why not? Five years and they live together. How would you even keep that a secret? Like you couldn't have a Facebook or you couldn't have an Instagram. You'd have to have a whole separate life. Yeah, pretty much. And she, like it's definitely taken its toll on their relationship
Starting point is 00:34:25 and on both of them. And she talks about how mentally draining it is to keep up, you know, obviously the lie because, like, there'll be times where a family member has to come, they come to town and they have to stay with her and then he has to go stay somewhere else. You have to move the person out, take all the pictures down. They have to pull down pictures. Yeah, it's horrible.
Starting point is 00:34:48 So what's the reason that the relationship is a secret? It's to do with their religion. And I'm not exactly sure and I don't want to say because I don't really know. But it's something about in their religion or where they're from or whatever, they pretty much kind of pick someone for them. Oh. If that makes sense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Yeah. Do you want to say where she's from or you'd rather not? I'd rather not just in case I'm like not exactly. Do her parents have an arrangement for her? Like do they have someone of mine? I think so. Yeah. And I think she has been putting it off and kind of dodging it for a long time.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah, right. And there's been discussions. And you said they're getting married? Well, they're engaged, yeah. They're engaged to be married? Yeah, they're engaged. How do you even? Yeah. How do you even begin to start thinking about your future life?
Starting point is 00:35:40 If your family's still important to you, how are you going to navigate those two things? Well, absolutely. And they really are at that point where they just don't know what they're going to do. Yeah right. I was hoping you're not coming to me for advice because I don't have any.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Right yeah and all I can offer her is my support because I'm kind of like I literally don't know what to tell you that's such a hard situation. I reckon the majority of advice you'd get from people is just tell them. Yeah, how bad can it be? Just tell them.
Starting point is 00:36:07 But if she hasn't, there's obviously a reason why. Absolutely. It's too big a deal. Yeah. And I – It's horrible. Yeah, screw that. To think that you're never going to be able to, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:19 just love the person that you love and also be accepted in your family and love them as well, you know. It's very difficult. And it made me think I wanted to ask people this afternoon, maybe it's nothing like this situation. Maybe it's for a completely different reason. But are you in a relationship that is secret? Maybe not from everyone, maybe from a certain people or whatever,
Starting point is 00:36:44 but for whatever reason, are you in a secret relationship? Yeah, maybe your relationship is like it's taboo. Like maybe you used to date his best friend or something. Yeah. And so you're not ready to tell him about it. Maybe you're dating your ex-husband's brother or something. I don't know. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah, whatever reason it is. I'd also love to get people who maybe have been through a similar thing and you can offer some advice or maybe how the situation turned out for you. I'd love to be able to give that advice to my friend. Lots of people in the rainbow community would be experiencing this. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. They would be going through a lot of this all the time. Yeah, yeah, okay. Well, we'll have all your stories this afternoon. We'll take
Starting point is 00:37:28 all your calls. 0800 dial ZM for whatever reason are you currently in or have been in a secret relationship? Maybe he's just really old. Yeah, maybe. We're talking secret relationships this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Had a pretty heavy conversation with one of my good mates over the weekend where I've always known about it, but she was, I think she's pretty much at a point in her life where she's like, I need to do something about this situation in my life. For the past five years, her and her boyfriend have been keeping their relationship a secret from both of their families. And it's due to where they're from and cultural reasons and religion
Starting point is 00:38:10 and the situation pretty much is that in their culture they usually are set up with someone. Yeah. Whereas they just met. They're both from the same place, by the way. Oh, that hopefully will help. Well, you'd hope so. They're both from the same place, by the way. Oh, that hopefully will help. Well, you'd hope so. They're both from the same place.
Starting point is 00:38:26 They live together. And for five years, their parents and families have no idea. Do your parents want you to marry an Italian? Oh, I think. Would your dad be happy if you married someone from the old country? To be honest, I think my nonna, every time I visited her, she'd always be like, you'll find a good Italian boy for you. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:38:43 You're so noxious. And I was like, I've got bigger problems than that. You're so obnoxious. Keep the family knows. We want to know though if you are in a secret relationship at the moment. Mandy's here. Hi Mandy. Hi, how's it going?
Starting point is 00:38:58 What's happened with you Mandy? So I have recently actually told my parents. So I didn't tell them that I was in a relationship with my current partner who I've been with for about three years now. Same with me. It's just around religious beliefs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:18 But I just got to the point where I just couldn't live a lie anymore. And I think I was always on edge about what if I bumped into them? What if I saw my family? Yeah, the stress of that would be massive. I bet it's just mentally exhausting for you. Yeah, and I think, you know, the social media thing, I got to the point where I was blocking my family from seeing a lot of the content that I was putting out.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Yeah, you'd have to run a filter over everything. So you told them in the end. Is that right? And was it okay? They've decided to not have anything to do with us, which is totally fine. But at the end of the day, I feel like it's a big weight off my shoulders,
Starting point is 00:39:59 if you know what I mean, because his family's accepted me as his, you know, they've taken me on. So we're only getting married shortly and my dad's going to walk me down the aisle in place of my dad. Yeah, nice. I'm so sorry to hear that, Mandy, though. And even though, yes, like that is just one of the hardest things ever to not be accepted by someone. And I can really relate to something like that. But you're right. It's a lot more exhausting to not live your true self every day and have to lie about
Starting point is 00:40:31 something. For sure. You're much better off and the people that really matter will be there for you. It's their loss. They either come around to it or they miss out on your life. So yeah, good on you, Mandy, and congratulations on the wedding. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Have an amazing day. Thank you. How exciting. From a different side of the conversation, we got a text from someone who said they were in a relationship with the boss. They were like a junior type employee and they had to keep it a secret. Like legally, you can't be going around
Starting point is 00:40:58 with a boss. You can be. It's not your fault. Yeah. You want to date the boss? Go for it. Do you want to though? Even in like a workplace? I don't know if you want that on your target on your back. Well, they said they're getting married now. Yeah. So want to date the boss? Go for it. Do you want to though even in like a workplace? I don't know if you want that on your target on your back. Well, they're getting married now. Yeah. So if it's the real deal, you can't stand in the way of that. There's a lot of really good texts that have come through,
Starting point is 00:41:14 all different situations as well. Someone said that they've been seeing a top female sports star for the past couple of years. I've met her mates and family but she has not been introduced to mine as my family will fangirl over her. Oh, you're keeping them a secret so that they don't ask for autographs. And then they go on to say, mum and the lads just think I've taken a weird great interest in attending national netball matches.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I love that. That's amazing. They're waiting till after the next Commonwealth Games so that they don't ask for tickets or anything before they reveal their relationship to the family. Keep it cool, Mum. Keep it cool. Chill the hell out.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Someone also said that they're in a secret relationship with Selena Gomez. They just haven't told Selena about it yet. Yeah, right. Well, good luck with that. I hope she understands when you do eventually tell her. Yeah, right. Well, good luck with that. I hope she understands when you do eventually tell her. Yeah, exactly. All right, let's kick off the week with a good one of these as we'll take your birthdays.
Starting point is 00:42:17 We'll figure out what was number one on your 16th. Courtney's here. Hi, Courtney. Hi, Court. Yo. Yo. Good. How's it? How are you?

Were you eating a bowl of soup or something over at Courtney? No, I was actually doing my research for my master's degree. Oh, well, that'll teach you. Yes, same here.

Starting point is 00:44:35 Individual... Bit of South American spice. Ricky Martin. Can you get down with Ricky Martin, John? He won't be able to keep up with me. He wouldn't be able to keep up with you? Jesus. No way. I think together with John and Ricky Martin, I think that's a
Starting point is 00:44:52 recipe for success, Bree. Do you agree? It is absolutely my pick this afternoon. Congratulations, John. You've just won birthday banger. Oh, nice. Thanks, guys. And as my mum would say, Ricky Martin, ooh, I might be old, but I'm not dead. She's into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls.
Starting point is 00:45:12 I feel a premonition, that girl's gonna make me fall. She's into new sensations, new kicks in the candlelight She's got new addictions for every day and night She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain She'll make you live a crazy life, but she'll take away your pain Like a bullet to your brain She'll take away your pain.

Starting point is 00:48:39 Wait, this is the good bit. There you go. Is it wrong that every time I hear him sing, I picture what our kids would look like? Yours and Ricky's? Yeah. Damn, I thought yours and mine for a second. I was like, whoa, that's a powerful song. No, too far.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Quick round of the age game. Everyone's playing this. How old is Ricky Martin? I'm going to lock in 46 46 Producer Ben, how old is Ricky Martin? He might be 42
Starting point is 00:49:14 42 Producer Ellie, how old is Ricky Martin? 47 Oh, very close to my guess, isn't it? Yep Ellie wins Ricky Martin is 48. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:49:26 See? Yeah. Doesn't look a day over hot. Nice. Yeah, he looks about 24, to be honest. He does. We interviewed Ricky Martin a couple of years ago. He came over and he performed on X Factor New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:49:38 And Guy and I got to sit down and interview him, but we were only allowed to interview him from one side, but the cameras had to be looking at one side of his face. Oh, like Ariana Grande. Yeah, and he had to be lit in a very, very specific way, and there was constantly a manager on hand saying, Ricky must look good. Ricky must look good.
Starting point is 00:49:54 That is the main thing for Ricky. We interviewed him however many years ago. He took a bite out of this sandwich, and then we sold the rest of the sandwich on eBay. How much did you get for it, Mark? I think we got about $28. That's disappointing. I mean, it was in Sydney, so the sandwich cost us $36.
Starting point is 00:50:12 So I found this list online this morning, and it's essentially the what-if top ten town rankings in Australia. The what-if top ten town rankings in Australia. Just a simple list of all the best towns you can go to. Is Woolloomooloo on there? No, Woolloomooloo didn't get a call. What about Wagga Wagga? No, actually I'm using that as a part of this joke actually.
Starting point is 00:50:35 But the top 10, it was like Coffs Harbour was number one, which is beautiful. I've been to Coffs. Mackay, Airlie Beach, oh, so nice. Cairns, Margaret River, Maroochydore, that's on the Sunshine Coast. They're all beautiful places. Cool. I thought it'd be fun because obviously these are all towns.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Someone who I know lives in a town in Australia is my mum. Oh, Mama Di. Mama Di. She lives in a country Queensland, Stanthorpe. Yes. I thought we could call her and make up the top 10 worst towns list and just see how she feels about it when we tell her that Stanthorpe, her hometown and where she currently lives,
Starting point is 00:51:15 is in the top 10 worst towns in Australia. Sounds fun. Let's definitely call Mumadai. She grew up in Stanthorpe? Yes. Okay. Hello. Mumadai.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Hi, Brianna. How are you going? Good. Clint's here as well. Hey, Mumadai. Hi, Clint. We won't keep you for long, Mum. We just wanted to get your vibe and get your thoughts.
Starting point is 00:51:44 There's been a top ten best towns in Australia list released. Oh, okay. And there's also been a top ten worst towns in Australia list released. Oh, okay. Number one was actually Wagga Wagga. Oh, yeah, well, don't know about that. And guess what made number two? Your hometown and where you currently live, Stanthorpe,
Starting point is 00:52:13 coming in at number two. No, Brianna, this is a stitch-up. No, this is legit. This is from an actual website that has went around travelling, doing all the, I they said that Stanthorpe has no appeal, terrible tourism, cold as hell and boring. That's what they've called it. Well, I tell you what, send them out over the last
Starting point is 00:52:40 three days and we'll see if it was boring. Everything was happening in the street, I can tell you. Everything was happening in the street, I can tell you. What was happening in the street? You name it. The debauchery that was happening was absolutely terrible. Was there looting going on in the street? There was the apple and grape harvest festival on there this weekend.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Excuse me, Brianna, we had 80,000 people, so 80,000 people. Why does it get bigger every time I talk to you? I talked to you last week, it was 50,000. This morning you said it was 60,000, and now it's gone up to 80,000. The numbers are in. The numbers are in.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I read this story two moments ago. I don't believe it. I don't believe that your beautiful town of Stanthorpe, where you grew up, is anywhere near the worst town in Australia. But this list said also all the men who live in Stanthorpe have small willies. Yeah. Oh, honestly. No, I don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I don't believe that list. And I just wanted to check with you to see if that was true or not. To be honest, Mum, I did go to Stanthorpe High, and I can confirm it is true at that school. Oh, Brianna, honestly, just remember, half the population are Italian, so I'm not saying anything else. What do you mean? What's that got to do with it?
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah. Well, you're talking about Willie, so, you know. Right, they got big sticks of salami on them or something. Are you saying, are you saying, Dad's got a bigger salami? Jeez. Like those rolls of garlic bread that come in the tin foil from the supermarket. Yeah, you're saying it's like one of those, Mum. Are you pretty much saying that you've done the research yourself
Starting point is 00:54:15 and you can say that... Definitively. Definitively that it is not true. It is definitely not true. There we go. You can take your list and shove it up your ass. not true. It is definitely not true. There we go. You can take your list and shove it up your arse. That's from mum and dog. Toilet paper apocalypse
Starting point is 00:54:35 is upon us. We talked about it earlier in the show. People in Australia are punching each other in the face over toilet paper. It's absolute chaos. And that's three women, by the way. You guys are meant to be the smart ones. Yeah, no, I could tell that was three women. You're meant to be bigger than that.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Yeah, but we also need more toilet paper than you, so. True, you need it for every visit. Exactly, so you don't know how we're feeling right now, mate. We only need it for one in four, one in five. We need it for all different types of things you don't even need to know about. Does that mean in a flatting situation that women should chip in more to the grocery shop because they use more of the toilet paper? I think that's probably... That's a theory that's probably the biggest.
Starting point is 00:55:28 That's a theory that I don't believe. No, you said it now. Can we isolate that audio and send it to heaps of different magazines, please? Because the world is rapidly running out of toilet paper, because people are going crazy, like your supermarket's out, you couldn't get any. I had to get one ply home brand and it was the only packet left. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:55:48 So what we've done, a public service for you guys this afternoon, is we've come up with five alternatives for toilet paper. Yes. Yeah. Have you been, have you got? I have been writing some down. You've got some too? Cool, I've got some too.
Starting point is 00:55:59 We might end up with more than five. We might end up with more. Let's just chuck them all out there. You can use whatever you want of these. Yeah, okay. You chuck out one first. Let's just chuck them all out there. You can use whatever you want of these. Yeah, okay. You chuck out one first. What's a good alternative to toilet paper? I mean, I think a good alternative
Starting point is 00:56:09 and something that I think people would have lying around is newspaper. It's good old-fashioned newspaper. I had newspaper on there too. I thought even better than that because that's reusing. Why don't you reuse what's been reused and use the leftover fish and chip wrappers? Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I mean, it could get a bit greasy. Yeah. Which might be good for you, actually. It could be like... Like a moisturiser down there. Yeah, similar to that, I've seen the toilet paper aisles are completely empty. No, no, you could, if you did have crab for lunch, it could
Starting point is 00:56:39 mean other things. Fishy. Yeah. I saw the toilet paper aisles are empty, but no one's going anywhere near the paper towel aisle. What about a pack of Tuffy hand towels? Three ply, which in hand towel, when you compare it to toilet paper, that's like nine ply toilet paper because it's so thick.
Starting point is 00:56:56 And you know what you do? Yeah. Take a knife, a bread knife, cut it down the middle. Boom, two toilet rolls. Great idea. Yeah. What else can we use Instead of toilet paper What about
Starting point is 00:57:07 Just the cardboard tubes Of the toilet roll What the hard tube I mean We've all been there Haven't we No We're not there yet
Starting point is 00:57:15 That's not We're not there Producer Ben nods We're not that dire Yeah he would have done it In the bush He's used He probably used
Starting point is 00:57:21 Poison ivy on him Before Yeah Stingering Okay Things we can use Instead of toilet paper if it gets to that. Oh, I've got some good ones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:29 What about, say you're a super rugby fan. Yeah. What about like an Auckland Blues jersey? Yeah. I'm staying out of that. That's a good one. It's better than wearing it. I'm staying.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Do we have that interview with? Bowden Barrett. Bowden Barrett. He's not even playing for them yet. Do we have that interview next week?den Barrett. He's not even playing for them yet. Do we have that interview next week? Even he won't pull the jersey on. He's in the team and he won't put the jersey on. That's how bad it is.
Starting point is 00:57:50 We all know they're bad. They know they're bad. Hey, they won over the weekend. Give them a break. Lay off the blues, Bree. It says you that wants to wipe his arse with their jersey. You could say you've got blues poos. Just like a booze poo, but only a little bit different.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Yeah, but more sad. What about just receipts? Receipts? Receipts. Yeah, oh yeah. Quite soft for the paper. You never really use them. Warranties, what a load of crap.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Yeah. Wipe your bum with them. Take a photo of them first in case you need them. Yes. First, not second. Don't take a photo in second. Only one more other idea, and this would be good for you, not Ben and I because we actually used ours,
Starting point is 00:58:29 but you could use your Elton John tickets. Oh, I could because they're worthless. They're useless. Well, they're useless now, yeah, aren't they? They're useless. I think I might have the winner. Yeah. And I think I might have probably the best alternative
Starting point is 00:58:43 to toilet paper that may never have been thought of. Yeah, right. Oh, this is good. Okay, listen up, home shoppers. Okay, and when I say it, I need you all to just think about it for a second. Yeah. Don't turn your nose up straight away.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Yeah, okay, yeah. What about... Corn on the cob. Yep. Yep. No. It's got grooves. No. It can be washed.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Is the corn on the cob? And reused. No. The corn is still on the cob. Who wants to play a fun game for this afternoon? I want to play a fun game for the afternoon. All right, everyone, eyes on me, please. Eyes on you, eyes on you, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:26 So pretty much I found this article, and it's pretty much about all people that made it but at one time of their life got rejected by American Idol. Ah. You remember the show? It's still going. Yeah, I remember it because it's still a show. This is American Idol.
Starting point is 00:59:45 So when you say rejected by American Idol, what? They never made it through the audition round? Or they got kicked out early in the top 24 or something? I don't know exactly, but a lot of them got kicked out in the audition phase. Okay, they never got past Randy and Paula Abdul. Nope, never got a look in. And I thought we could play a game where we'll play a bit of, because obviously they're all singers.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Yes. Let's hope so. We'll play a bit of them singing, and you're going to play a game of, can you guess the rejected American Idol? I'm ready. Okay, here comes rejected American Idol contestant number one. So this will be a famous person, is that right? Yes. Okay, here comes rejected American Idol contestant number one. So this will be a famous person, is that right? Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Okay, cool. This man's a little, little, little baby, just let it be. That's Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, yeah? That is correct. So is Bebe Rexha on American Idol? Bebe Rexha had a full circle moment because in 2018 she joined American Idol as a mentor. But 10 years before that, her and her mother waited in line for 10 hours and she didn't even make it through. Good on her for sticking with it.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Yeah. You know? And also she would have gone, ha ha ha, look who's come knocking. Remember that time she poured baked beans over my head? Hello, Ryan Seacrest. Remember when you didn't want me? It's not Ryan's fault. Why are you blaming poor Ryan Seacrest?
Starting point is 01:01:12 I just imagine Ryan Seacrest goes and books all the guests. Hi, sorry that you didn't get on American Idol in 2008. Can you come be a mentor, please? I probably had no idea. Bebe Rexha? Okay, let's do another one. Here comes rejected American Idol contestant turned famous, contestant number two.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Colby Kelly. Yes. She was rejected not once but twice from American Idol auditions. Right. And if she hadn't kept going, we wouldn't have got all those great Colby Kelly songs. This is my favourite, I think. It's my favourite too. Probably my least favourite, my favourite and least favourite at the same time.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Right. Now, this is where it gets a little bit harder for you. Sure. These are all rejected American Idol contestants who have, you know, done pretty well for themselves anyway. Here comes contestant number three. I've had just enough time. I'll give you a hint. She hasn't made it technically in the song world,
Starting point is 01:02:27 but she was on a show where she did a lot of singing, and this is taken from that show. Oh. It doesn't sound like Glee. Because it's kind of country. It's country, yeah. I mean, it could be Glee. Is it Glee? I've got no idea who that is. Who is. I mean, it could be Glee. Is it Glee?
Starting point is 01:02:45 I've got no idea who that is. Who is that person? Naya Rivera from Glee. She plays Santana Lopez, of course, on the show Glee. Do I get that point? Oh! It's Glee. I got it, Glee.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Three from three. All right, three from three. All right, last one. This girl was rejected by American Idol. She revealed it on a TV show recently but then she went on to book also a TV show.
Starting point is 01:03:13 I know that a woman's duty is to help and love a man. Who's rejecting this person? Woo! And that's the way it was planned. Uh, okay. Oh, it ain't no way. Is this Megan Trainor?
Starting point is 01:03:37 Yeah. It ain't no way. No, it's not. No? How is it? It's actually a girl named Amber Riley, better known for her portrayal of Mercedes Jones on also the TV show Glee. Oh, there you go. Two Glee heads.
Starting point is 01:03:54 So that's the pathway. You lose American Idol, you go on Glee. Pretty much. Right. That's not a bad way to go. I'd be pretty happy with that. Right. Okay. Now you do yours.
