Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
You know it's a Friday so let's rip straight into this.
It's my birthday, it's my birthday, Bree and Clint's birthday banger, the podcast.
You guys on the podcast doing your birthday banger.
Can I say you've been very perceptive in our podcast group this week, lots of stuff.
Someone noticed that we were nominated for radio awards and did a nice post in there.
That was lovely.
Yeah, that was nice.
Thank you for that.
Other people acknowledging that they were listening and they realized we hit one million
downloads.
Yeah.
It's been a good week.
Yeah, it's been good.
So now we're going to do your birthday bangers to say thanks.
And the first person we're going to do is Jane De Silva from Perth, Australia. That's a cool name. De Silva. She was born. Hi-ho De Silva. She was born on
the 13th of May 1989, which means she was 16 in 2005. And this is Jane's birthday banger.
One of Snoop Dogg's many comebacks.
Yeah, he has come back quite a few times.
He'll come back again.
Yeah, he will.
Yep.
He's like, no, don't say that joke.
No.
Don't say that.
No.
He's just good.
That's what I was going to say.
He's very good.
Good.
Okay, next one is for James Lee.
He's in Texas.
Texas.
He was born on the 18th of January 1989 also, so he was 16 in 2005.
And James, this is your birthday banger.
It's been too lonely, too long, one night with you.
That does sing to me.
So we're talking about 2005 here.
So it says One Night, which is the Elvis Presley song.
Yeah.
Doesn't sound like it was...
Not from 2005.
2005, does it?
It says it was an R&B hit for Smiley Lewis in 1956
before being recorded with greater commercial success by Elvis Presley.
The song got re-released in the UK in 2005
and it went to number one.
Weird.
He is a true, like an absolute star
because that's happened to Elvis Presley quite a few times.
Yeah, that Little Less Conversation remix did.
That was huge.
But this.
I like it.
Yeah.
Well, hey, it's a cool birthday banger anyway, James,
and I bet you weren't expecting that.
Very unique, isn't it?
We'll do one more for Carissa Murth.
She's from West Palm Beach in Florida.
I used to live close to there, so hello to Carissa.
She was born on the 19th of June, 1992.
So she was 16 in 2008.
And Carissa, this is your birthday bang.
Thank you.
Did you say bottles in the butt?
Maybe.
It's what we used to sing at college. Oh, right.
This song sounds like Florida to me.
You know what's crazy is
I was living in Florida at this time
or this song was big, so it reminds me of Florida too.
Yeah, right.
Well, that can win for me.
Yeah, this is my winner today.
Okay, cool.
Congratulations, Carissa.
You've won the International Birthday Banger.
I hope you're doing well in Florida at the moment.
What happened to Little Wayne?
He's still around.
Is he?
Yep, still around.
There's a rumour that he's dead every six months.
He'd be older now, so it'd be more like a lot of Wayne.
Older Wayne.
Yeah, older Wayne.
Older Wayne.
You can't hear it, can you?
It's pretty low.
Right, it's on the wrong channel.
So we thought it was playing that whole time, but...
I wasn't playing at all.
No.
We're doing our good little Wayne gear and everything Alright we'll make sure you keep it sounding nice and awkward
Ben for the podcast
And again Carissa this is for you
Like a lollipop
Like a lollipop, like a lollipop, like a lollipop, like a lollipop.
Hey Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm, give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Afternoon, everybody.
Happy Friday.
Bree and Clint.
G'day, guys.
How you going?
Good.
You know, I'm tired.
Yeah.
I'm ready for my moving house to be over.
And you know where you're just in that moment where your life is just all over the place?
You're in limbo.
Yeah, you don't live anywhere.
You live in two different places currently.
Living out of a suitcase and then you're like, oh, I need those earbuds.
Nope, they're at the new house.
Well, one's at their new house and one's at the old house.
Hey, well, we've got some good news today.
Today's an exciting day.
Today the New Zealand Radio Awards were held.
Yes.
Usually behind the scenes for you guys, the Radio Awards is a very schmoozy, boozy, floozy, absadoozy affair.
Fancy event.
We all get in our best clothes and we go over and we start drinking free alcohol from about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Today, we sat in the ZM boardroom and we watched a video message because obviously COVID.
We followed the rules.
We can't do it.
But we do have some fantastic news.
Our show officially has the two best radio presenters.
The best.
Oh, damn it.
You stuffed it.
I put my own bit in there.
We officially have the two best.
That was a Freudian slip of me there.
That was not meant to happen.
We officially have the two best radio producers in the country.
Yes.
Producer Ben and Producer Ali took out the radio award.
Congratulations, guys.
Thank you, guys.
Thanks, guys. Hey, but we wouldn't have a show without you two. Congratulations, guys. Thank you, guys. Thanks, guys.
Hey, but we wouldn't have a show without you two.
So, like, you kind of are responsible for our awards.
That's actually correct and the right thing for you to say.
We didn't win anything, so.
Yeah, yeah.
Sam, Ali's boyfriend, has just arrived with flowers.
And Producer Ben got a bouquet of flowers, too.
Yeah, Producer Ben loves flowers.
First flowers I've ever received in my life.
Do you know what to do
with those?
I think there's a,
you fill a jar up
with water
and you lie them
beside it.
That's exactly right.
I love that he calls
the vase a jar.
I empty out the marmite
and then I put them
in there.
No,
we're really proud
of you guys
so congratulations.
Thank you guys.
Yeah,
how awesome.
And instead of being
at the pub, we're at work because coronavirus.
Everyone else is partying.
Next, speaking of coronavirus, I had to go to the doctor today,
not for anything COVID-related, but just for a normal visit to the doctor.
It's weird.
Yeah, I've been avoiding it at all costs.
And everybody, a lot of people are avoiding it.
Just because I don't want to be, I felt like unless it at all costs. And everybody, a lot of people are avoiding it.
Just because I don't want to be, I felt like unless you really need to go,
then probably best to just not go at the moment.
That's what everybody thinks.
But I don't think that that is actually what should be happening.
Anyway, I'll tell you what it's like if you've been avoiding it and you want to know what it's like.
I'll tell you what it's like to go to the doctor next.
I'll also tell you what's wrong with me.
Nah, I won't actually.
It's a bit too personal. No.? Now. Tell us. Tell us. Tell us. We'll
talk about it next. Everyone else has left now. Brie and Clint. I went to the doctor
today. I can say I went to the doctor. Got no shame in it. For what? Nah, it doesn't
matter. Why? You just said you got no shame. I got no shame that I went. Yeah, but you
got to the doctor for a reason. Nah, it's weird. Nah, it's weird. I don't want to say that. No, but people are going to think it's like something bad. It's got no shame. I've got no shame that I went. Yeah, but you go to the doctor for a reason.
Nah, it's weird.
Nah, it's weird.
I don't want to say it. No, but people are going to think it's like something bad.
It's not even bad.
I've got a sore foot.
Okay?
We'll just leave it at that.
Okay.
I've got a self-induced sore foot.
And we'll leave it at that.
How did you self-induce a sore foot?
I just did.
Okay?
It's my fault.
It's my fault.
But I need some help.
Did you kick something?
No, I didn't kick something. Oh. No, I didn't. Well, I did actually, but that was after it was sore. Anyway, look, it's my fault. It's my fault. But I need some help. Did you kick something? No, I didn't kick something.
No, I didn't.
Well, I did actually, but that was after it was sore.
Anyway, look, it's sore.
And it's been sore for a long time and I need to see the doctor.
Okay.
Swollen.
I saw the doctor last week.
Actually, no, I didn't.
You've been to the doctor a lot.
For the same thing, yeah.
You're a hypochondriac.
No, it's not getting any better.
It's not getting any better.
But the first visit to the doctor because of coronavirus
is just a phone call.
The doctor just rings you.
It's like, hey, what's going on?
And you just tell them how bad it is and they believe you
and then they prescribe you some medicine
and you just go from there.
Oh, this is a good time to get some prescriptions.
Oh, the hypochondriacs out there.
It could be a great time.
I'm just thinking about All the things I could get
So we did that
Antibiotics
No
The doctor can say
Oh alright
I need to zoom you
I need to
I need more info
Like if it was something
And you're like
What do you get on a video call
You can
Yeah
But I didn't
Okay
She goes
Oh just send me some photos
So I sent her
An email With the subject title foot pics.
And I just sent her some photos of my feet.
What did she say?
Can I say also, very hard to take good photos of your own feet.
Especially if you don't have nice feet.
I'm not saying that you don't, but I'm just saying if you've got ugly feet.
I don't have nice feet.
But the only angle you have is looking straight down on them.
Because it's hard to get beside or below your own feet.
You didn't want your wife to take some pictures of your feet?
No, I got her to do it.
I got her to take the photos.
So that was helpful.
And then today I had to go into the doctor because they're like,
all right, it's not getting better.
Come on in.
We'll have a look at you.
And this is what it's like to go to just to the GP,
not to the emergency room or anything like that,
but just to my regular doctor,
make your appointment, show up.
When you get there, you don't go inside.
You ring them and you go,
I'm here, I'm outside, I'm at the doctor.
And they go, okay, down the side of the building,
there's some hand sanitizer, go and hand sanitize.
And then we need you to put a mask on.
I had to put one of the, like a-
A surgical mask.
A surgical mask on, yeah.
And then you hand sanitize again and then you go to a special area and you wait.
And then when the doctor comes out to get you, just the GP,
just like your normal GP, they're in full PPE.
So they have the surgical mask, but then the RoboCop helmet,
like the big plastic helmet thing, and the gloves and the gown
and that sort of thing.
And they're fully like –
Well, they're constantly at risk.
They're seeing lots of people.
Or they have the potential to see lots of people.
Well, not even lots of people because there's people
that are seeing quite a few people,
but they're seeing lots of people who are sick.
You know?
Yeah, but they always see people who are sick.
They always see lots of people who are sick.
Yeah, but this is different.
Yeah, this is different.
And it's just a weird feeling.
You might have experienced it, like if you've been for a COVID test
or lots of people will have been to the doctor,
but lots of people have been avoiding it too.
They're in the drive-thru now, aren't they?
There's just this weird moment where I'm sitting there
and the doctor's holding my foot.
And I look at this doctor who's wearing like,
they look like what the people look like on Chernobyl, that TV show.
Like it's just one of these buzzy moments where you go,
what is going on in the world at the moment?
Also a weird experience of wearing a surgical mask.
It's hard to like acknowledge people as you go past them
because usually you'd smile at them,
but you can't tell that they're smiling.
And I'm like, this person just thinks I'm staring at them
and I'm smiling to try and make it less uncomfortable.
You don't smize?
I can't think I can smize.
You tell me.
Can I smize?
No, you just look creepy.
Yeah, see, I look creepy.
And that's how I thought I looked.
But I was smiling.
Anyway, it was fine.
The whole experience was fine.
I had to pay with paywave.
They had road cones inside and I did the tap and go
and we were all good like that. But I heard pay with pay wave over like, they had road cones inside and I did the tap and go and we were all good like
that. But I heard that people
are staying away like you from going to the doctor
because they're worried about the pressure
that it's putting on the GPs
Yeah, I just don't want to add
to if they need to, you know, there's
people that really need to go
and obviously you really needed
to go but I just want to
stay away until... Yeah, but if you need to go
You need to go
And this is what a doctor friend told me
They said there's an issue
Where people think they're doing the right thing
By not going
And freeing up the services and that
But they're just going to create this big backlog
Of people who have to go afterwards
Like haircuts
But also like if you've got something wrong
And it's just getting worse that whole time
It's going to be more of an issue in the future
Yeah for me look
I'm not
I'm going to be honest I'm issue in the future. Yeah, for me, look, I'm not, I'm going to be honest.
I'm overdue for a schmear.
Schmear.
Schmear test.
And I would have went,
but I just don't really want to have a pap smear over Zoom.
Or from Robocop.
Yeah, just not on my list of things to do.
Yeah, well, maybe next week.
Maybe next week.
Yeah.
It was really weird today to see people we haven't seen in weeks in the office
because obviously people are coming back to work.
We're in level two.
Yeah.
Quite a lot of people around here in the office.
Lots of hair.
Oh, yeah.
Ross Boss has grown his hair a lot.
A lot of people who you never see with long hair, men especially,
who now have bushy, bushy waka bushes. Yeah, lot of people who you never see with long hair, men especially, who now have bushy,
bushy waka bushes. Yeah, lots of people like that. And it's interesting that there's a lot
of businesses and companies who are starting to have this conversation about whether people have
to come back into the office. Right. And whether or not they can actually continue to work from home. Oh. And it's interesting, Twitter, which obviously a global company,
huge business, have now come out and said that their staff all
around the world will be given the option of working
from home indefinitely.
Yeah, well, I guess you work for Twitter.
You just use a computer all day.
Yeah, but then, I mean, there's meetings and stuff
where they'd have to, like, you know, liaise with people
and they'd have marketing and all that kind of thing.
But if you work for Twitter, like, do you ever even print anything?
Like, you've got to think.
I don't know.
You're just an online company.
I don't know how these things work.
I'm sure there'd be, like, a big back end to stuff,
but it's interesting that they've pretty much said
if you want to work from home from now on,
we've seen that it's doable, you can do it.
It's good for people if you want to do it,
but businesses will save a lot of money
if they don't have to have like big offices and stuff.
And I've been to the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.
I was there earlier this year.
Enormous building, huge, right in the centre of town.
Yeah, but this is,
they were talking about the Aussie offices.
They've got quite a big Aussie Twitter office
and they were saying, yeah, any
Aussie staff, if you don't want to
come back into the office, you don't have to.
Sweet deal. But then they also
said if you do, the office
will be its warm, welcoming
self and you can come in if you'd like.
I want to pay rise if I don't have to come in anymore.
What do you mean? Well, I'm not going to use any of your electricity. I was going to say, but you're doing less because you'd like. I want a pay rise if I don't have to come in anymore. What do you mean?
Well, I'm not going to use any of your electricity.
I was going to say, but you're doing less because you're not even coming to work.
No, I'm saving you money, Twitter.
I'm not using a desk.
You don't have to buy me a desk and a chair anymore.
I'm not going to use any water.
I'm not going to flush the toilet.
The tea bags, how many tea bags would I use in a year?
All right, we'll give you a pay rise of about $26 a year.
A week.
A week? A week! I want $26 a week. Whoa, that's actually a fair? All right, we'll give you a pay rise of about $26 a year. A week. A week.
A week.
I want $26 a week.
Whoa, that's actually a fair bit.
Yeah, but you know.
You know what's interesting to me too?
They've actually come out and said also when they have the expectation
of their office opening again.
When?
When do you think?
We're in what?
Middle of May.
Middle of May 2020.
Christmas? They're saying what? Middle of May. Middle of May 2020. Christmas?
They're saying, yeah, September.
It won't open.
Their offices won't open before September.
That's what all the overseas ones are saying.
Yeah.
Well, it depends what country you're in, right?
Because some people are doing worse than others.
But I was thinking about it and I thought obviously that's a job
where you can obviously do it and work from home.
I was thinking about jobs that you really couldn't do from home.
Right.
So jobs you pretty much can't do at home or on Zoom.
The first one would be a hairdresser.
You can't do that.
Although if they come to you, I used to get my hair cut by a lady
who was my mum's friend and we did it at her house in her kitchen.
Well, yeah, my mum used to work from home.
And your mum cuts hair from home.
She does.
But, yeah, I mean, if you own the salon, not really.
I mean, you could open it from home.
Sorry, hairdresser, you can work from home.
All right, what about a plumber?
I don't think a plumber could really work from home.
You'd have one job and once that job was done.
You're done.
Yeah, you're done.
You're done.
Not ideal.
Firefighters can't work from home.
No.
They can't zoom into a fire.
Yeah, push the water that way.
No, that wouldn't be good.
Turn your microphone on.
Is it still on fire?
What about now?
What about now?
Gynecologists can't work from home.
What about home?
Okay, no.
They definitely can't.
Look, it's not my area of expertise.
I'll take your word for it.
Yeah, take my word for it.
They can't.
Okay.
And probably the biggest job.
Wouldn't it be nice to go to a gynecologist's house
and they just sit you up in the spare room and they could, you know,
like a bit more comfort.
No, no.
That doesn't sound ideal.
I was thinking more like doing it like over Zoom or something.
Yeah, right.
Well, they can do consults.
They just can't do the.
Yeah, but they need to take.
Anyway, anyway, let's move on.
Probably the biggest job and people will argue this,
but I think, you know, even Amazon or Trade Me or any of those
would not be able to help this person out
and they could never work from home,
it would be Santa Claus.
No, Santa Claus can't work from home. No, he can't.
He'd be devastated.
And he's an essential service too. He is.
And the Easter Bunny can't work from home.
Does he have to wear PPE when he comes down the chimney?
Of course he does. He's to abide by the rules.
He's the hand sanitiser after he has his milk
too.
It's the game where we go head to head guessing
songs to try and win you mobile
fuel. You just have to guess who's going to win the game.
First person who gets to guess today is Sam.
Hey, Sam.
G'day, Sam.
G'day, guys.
G'day, mate.
You back at work?
I've been at work the whole time.
Yeah, right.
What do you do?
I just work for a council, so it doesn't stop.
People need things.
Sam, can I ask, because you work for the council,
would ticket people not out in force over the last however many weeks
or was I just really lucky for the past seven weeks?
Do you mean ticket people like as in the car park ticket people?
Yeah.
Parking wardens, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So they're not with council.
So council doesn't do that.
Really?
Yeah, subcontracted.
Yeah, they've got their own division. I'm sending hate mail toracted. Yeah, they've got their own division.
hate mail to the council.
Sam, while I've got you here,
can I talk to you
about a potential...
Yeah, that's the transport sector.
Can I talk to you
about a potential rate rise
in 2021?
Actually, no,
let's focus on the game.
Who would you be like
to back for the
one second song challenge today?
I'll go Clint.
All right, cool.
I'm your man.
That means Nicole.
You've got Bree.
You're with me, Nicole.
Thank you.
Okay.
Let's do this thing.
The game will be run and adjudicated by award-winning radio producer
Ellie Harwood.
Ellie.
Hello.
And technically produced by award-winning radio producer Ben.
That's just our big flex to say we've got two award-winning radio
producers on the show today.
Yeah. And that's bona fide. That's verified award-winning radio producers on the show today. Yeah.
And that's bona fide.
That's verified.
It's legit.
It's in writing.
Yeah.
I feel a lot of pressure now to do this right.
I'm now scared.
Show us your worth.
Yeah, no.
Okay.
All right, Producer Ben, when you're ready, hit that first song off the level.
Sorry, the theme this week is victory songs to celebrate level two.
Very good.
Okay.
There you go.
All right.
Number one.
Brie. There you go. All right. Number one. Brie.
Yes.
Journey.
Don't Stop Believin'.
That is correct.
Nice.
The first ever song we played on the show.
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
There you go.
All right.
It's 1-0 to Clint.
Is it?
I mean Brie.
Sorry, I've read Clint.
You're just so used to it.
I won't hold it against you. I was like, damn, that's the easiest point I ever got. Sorry, Redcliffe. You're just so used to it. I won't hold it against you.
I was like, damn, that's the easiest point I ever got.
All right, song number two.
Bree.
Yes.
Simply the best Tina Turner.
That's correct.
It's 2-0 to Bree.
I always get two up and I never can finish.
No, you got it.
Lucky that you got that one because I was going to say Cher.
Were you?
You played it last week.
I know.
I know it's Tina Tina now, but yeah.
Nice.
All right, 2-0 to Bree.
There we go.
All right, song number three.
Clint.
Clint.
That's Clint.
That, I've gone early because I recognise it, but I haven't done all the bits in my
brain that I need to do.
Nice, okay.
Flow Ride A Good Feeling?
That's correct, yes.
Good guess. I knew that one too. All right, Good Feeling? That's correct, yes. Good guess.
I knew that one too.
All right, it's 2-1 to Bree.
Next song, Benny, when you're ready.
Bree.
Yes.
Oh, do you know the artist?
Yeah.
Dive the Tiger.
Who sings that?
I've got no idea.
Do you have any idea?
No idea. It's such an iconic song.
It's I Have a Tiger by the Rocky movie.
I don't know
who sings it.
No. And you both don't know?
I have a guess. It's I Have the Tiger
by
Europe.
That's incorrect. So we'll go to the next song. Who is it? It's Survivor by Europe. That's incorrect. So we'll go to the next song.
Who is it?
It's Survivor.
Wouldn't have never,
ever known that.
Yeah.
Isn't that strange
that you've heard that song
a million times?
And I love so many
of Survivor's other songs.
That's weird.
Yeah, like Destiny's Child.
That's a good one.
That's a good one, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Survivor Nicaragua.
That was a good one.
That was really good.
All right, Brie,
you can take it out here. Song number fiveicaragua. That was a good one. That was really good. Alright, Brie, you can take it out here.
Song number five.
Clint. Yes.
Okay, that is Bon Jovi
Living on a Prayer. That's correct.
I hate Bon Jovi. I know.
That song is
burnt into my mind. There you go.
Alright, it's tied
up. It's two all.
We're going to hit off song number six.
Brie.
Yes.
Yes.
Come on.
You know it.
We will rock you.
You've nailed it, Brie.
You've just won the game.
Woo.
Queen.
Who's that?
I've heard of them.
Same as Survivor.
Are they a Survivor contemporary?
Yeah.
They're a song, but yeah, you never really hear of the band.
No, that's so true. Yeah. Nicole, you've picked up the freeor contemporary? Yeah. You heard a song, but yeah, you never really hear of the band. No, that's so true, yeah.
Nicole, you've picked up the free mobile fuel.
Yes, thank you so much, Bree.
No worries, Nicole.
Nicole, did you know who sung Eye of the Tiger?
No, I had no idea.
I reckon a lot of people in their car right then would have been like,
yeah, who the hell sings that?
Yeah.
We'll play some Survivor after the break.
Bree and Clint, hit him.
Bree and Clint.
Hey, there are a few places in New Zealand at the moment.
Oh, by the way, are you ready for the next rolling disaster
that we're going into?
This is 2020.
We've got bushfires, coronavirus.
Remember there was World War III at the start of the year too
with the bloody missiles and stuff?
We've all forgotten about that.
Anyway.
I don't even remember that.
There's a new one.
There's a drought.
Okay.
And this is not new to people who have been living with the drought.
It's in Auckland and Hawke's Bay.
And Northland.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Hawke's Bay guys have been doing it tough for a while in Northland.
And now.
Especially the farmers up there in Hawke's Bay.
Yeah.
Like they're doing it real tough.
Yeah.
And tomorrow in Auckland, we get mandatory water restrictions.
That's what's coming in here.
Which, what exactly does that mean?
It means, because we haven't had any rain,
you can't wash your car.
No car washing allowed.
No using the hose.
To water your gardens and stuff. And they want you
to limit your showers to under
four minutes a shower. Yeah. Because the
dam is at 45%. The dam
that holds all of Auckland's water is at
45%. Normally at this time
of year it would be at 75%.
Right. There just hasn't been any rain
so we're running out of water. Which is very
unusual for New Zealand.
I find water restrictions an interesting one
because there's so much trust involved.
Like, you've got to just trust that people will do it.
You're not going to have, like, a shower monitor come around
and stand there while you have a shower.
I mean, I guess they can read people's water meters from month to month.
Yeah.
But, yeah, people just have to... But you still need water. That's the thing. People still month to month. Yeah. But yeah, people just have to.
But you still need water.
That's the thing.
People still need to use the water.
But then people can report each other.
Like if you see your next door neighbour, Gary,
out on the lawn watering his, you know, petunias every day.
Yeah, if he's put down some ready lawn.
Then you report him.
Yeah.
This is the interesting bit.
Narc culture.
Because if you do these things you're not allowed to do,
like water blast the house or even just water the garden,
$20,000 fine.
Is it?
$20,000.
God, they're not messing around, are they?
No, because there's no water.
Yeah.
And it's going to rain over the weekend, I think, a little bit,
but only a tiny bit and not enough to fill it back up.
If you Google it, there are some amazing pictures of the dam in Auckland alone.
This is the worst drought that Auckland has ever had.
It's worse than the one in the 90s.
I've seen the pictures and it's quite full on to see how bad it is.
The months in Auckland alone from January until April
have been the driest months in Auckland's history.
Yeah.
Ever.
It's so weird for me coming from
Australia, country Queensland, where
my dad is still an apple
farmer on the land and
I grew up on a farm. Yeah.
I literally have not known any
different my whole life but to live in a drought.
Always been in drought. Always. Like we used to
me, my sister and my brother all used
to have to use the same bath water
because it would use less water than all of us having showers.
Like I just thought that was normal growing up.
Like I had no idea and we lived on tank water.
So it actually is nearly ten times worse because we weren't even living
off the town's source of water.
Right.
But then like to see obviously what all those people,
including my dad, has gone through at the start of the year
with half of his farm that is literally him
and then his dad have grown his whole life has died.
Yeah.
Which has never happened.
Like we've always been in a drought.
Yeah.
But they've always managed to bore down and find water and stuff.
It's not something that New Zealanders are used to either.
Parts, regions of New Zealand are, but Auckland is especially.
You just turn on the tap and it works.
And you know what's crazy
is when I moved to this country,
that was nearly one of my favourite things.
Free water.
No, even just when it rained,
I was like, this is so nice.
It's so green.
I love it.
Yeah, anyway.
And so it's scary,
but yeah, good to know those things.
Shorten your showers up.
Yep.
And.
Wash your bits quick.
Wash your bits quick
and drink your bath water.
Maybe not that.
Bree and Clint.
It's that point of the show on a Friday where we reflect.
We stop down and we go, oh, how's this week been?
Has it been a good one or has it been a bit of a stinker?
We have a specific structure for that.
It's called the high-low.
That's right.
It's compiled by our producers, producer Ben and producer Ellie,
who today, we've covered it off and we'll continue to cover off, won a radio award. It's the biggest news producers, producer Ben and producer Ellie, who today we've covered it off and will continue to cover off,
won a radio award.
It's the biggest news story in New Zealand today.
It's one of the biggest.
Behind Fletch, Winner Megan winning best show,
then winning best producers.
Yeah.
And to be honest, it's a big deal.
Unfortunately, the rule is nothing that happens on a Friday
can go into the high load.
Oh, that's right.
So your award doesn't mean diddly squat as far as the high low is concerned.
Well, technically it's in because we're talking about it now.
No, it hasn't started yet.
No, no, I'll tell you.
No, we started it.
No, no.
Yeah.
It's in.
It's included.
Right.
Well, if I do something good, I want it in the high low as well.
If I do something good today, I want it in there.
Previously with Zed In's Brain Cleanse.
Hey, guys.
Welcome to yet another week of Brain Cleanse highs and lows.
No, wait.
Hey, guys.
Welcome to yet another week of Brain Cleanse highs and lows. Allows. No, wait. Hey guys, welcome to yet another week of Branklyn's Highs and Lows.
All the high points of the week and the low points of the week.
It was Mother's Day last weekend, but Clint came in hot claiming it was actually Father's Day
when he may have potentially caught Tui's first dada on camera.
What are your thoughts?
On Saturday, my daughter Tui, who is 10 months old today,
I think on the weekend we might have got the first dad.
And so this is what I got.
I got footage of this,
and I believe that I might have captured her first dad.
Is there like a shortened, without the fart?
Yeah, there's a shortened version.
Just this bit here.
There you go, that slowed down.
Pretty clear it's dada. Sounds like Dada,
right? So Ben, is there any way to enhance
that slowed down one any further?
I've slowed it down a little bit more.
Yeah, so this is the better quality one.
The one below is the slower one, yeah. This is my daughter, Tui.
Oh, it's something. You guys have planned something.
This is her first time with her saying Dad.
Dan
Carter is the greatest all-black
of all time.
Amazing.
It's even better than I'd hoped for.
Our life hack is going viral on the internet at the moment
and Bree decided to bring the audio to the show,
but not the video.
Pretty crucial.
Lockdown, people have had more time to share their life hacks.
Yeah.
And a woman has done exactly that.
It's gotten millions of views. Right. And a woman has done exactly that. It's gotten millions of
views. Right. Let's play the audio
because it's quite funny without
seeing the visual. Here is the
easiest hack in the world
to close your box. So
we all know, if you don't close properly,
you get these two facts. You stick
this one in here. Then you just
fold here.
Fold here. Then you just fold here. Fold here.
Then you slide the top one.
And, hello!
Nice!
Did you get that, boys?
It's good for you.
Yours has been flapping around for ages.
And this week's caller of the week
literally got Brie nearly vomiting live in studio.
Hi, Anna.
Hi, how are you doing?
Good, thanks.
Yours is more of a cautionary tale about public nail clipping, isn't it? vomiting, live in studio. Hi, Anna. Hi, how are you doing? Good, thanks.
Yours is more of a cautionary tale about public nail clipping, isn't it?
I know one night she was sitting at home and she'd just finished a packet of chips and she was clipping her toenails and she was popping them into the Yankee chip bag as she went.
And then her husband picked out a chip bag and was like,
oh, thanks for leaving me the crumbs, and then tipped them into my mouth.
And she screamed at him, she was like, oh my God, that's all my toenails.
And he sort of was like,
oh.
He spat them out
and there was even like
pink nail polish
on them
and he breathed like,
oh,
sorry guys.
He tipped toenail clippings
into his mouth
because he thought
they were chippy crumbs.
He thought they were
the chip crumbs.
Bree's about to throw up,
sorry.
He gave him a bit of a chew
too and thought,
oh,
nah, nah, you're over,
nah, you had enough
out of you.
And that's another week
of Brinkland's Highs and
Lows.
See you next week,
till this time next week.
That toe nail thing is
so off.
I can't listen to it.
It's so off.
Especially the nail
polish being off.
Oh!
I also can't listen to
Tui saying deader
without almost crying.
It's too much.
She's too cute. She's too cute.
She is very cute.
Brie and Clint.
Time for Friday-oke.
And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment,
Friday-oke.
I love Friday-oke.
It's the best.
I listen every Friday.
I never miss Friday-oke.
Thanks, Brie and Clint.
You've made my Friday again. F-F-F- miss Friday-oke. Thanks, Bray and Clint. You've made my Friday again.
Friday-oke.
Yeah, no, we're very good at it.
And that's why we keep doing it.
Each week, the challenge is set by you guys, actually.
We put up a song for you guys to pick for us to sing.
You decide.
And the winning song, we get 15 minutes with a professional audio engineer
to make it sound as good as possible.
It's not very long.
Especially because neither of us rehearse in advance.
No, yeah, that's probably...
They're being professional, we're being completely unprofessional.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it always is.
I selected a song today with a vocalist who, you know, it's nice and achievable.
When you hear this guy, you go, he sounds like me.
And I think that's why he was so popular,
because people could hear themselves in his voice, you know?
What a load of bullshit.
Today, we'll be doing the late, great Freddie Mercury.
Probably one of the greatest singers, vocally of all time.
Yeah, was he or was it all hidden behind all the showmanship and the moustache, you know?
No.
If you take that all away, is he just like you and me?
No, he was not just like you and I.
Yeah, right, okay.
Well, we're about to find out.
I'll go first, you'll go second,
and then people can call and tell us who did the best Freddie Mercury.
I really don't know what to expect this week.
We're about to find out.
Here we go.
Up first, my Friday-oke. I want to break out. Here we go. Up first, My Friday Okie.
I want to break free.
I want to break free.
I want to break free from your lies.
You're so self-satisfied
and I don't need you.
I've got to break free
It's strange but it's true
Yeah, I can get over the way
You love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, I want to be free, baby Oh, I want to be free, baby
Oh, I want to be free
Oh, I want to break free
I'm going to let you in on a secret.
Yeah.
I went in, laid down my track over the top of Freddie.
Yeah.
Didn't even bother listening to my take.
I didn't.
I was that confident this week.
I was like, you know what?
Me and Freddie, we're on the same.
You're such a cocky bastard.
No, because I can hear it.
You know when you sing with someone
and you think you're perfectly on pitch with them?
That's what I did.
And I hung up the headphones and I said,
that'll do.
And I left.
And now I really wish I'd had another go.
But is it the worst
or is it the best
to know that
you need to hear
Bree's
Pretty Mercury
Pretty Mercury
oh my god
here she comes
after this
phone lines open
and we want
you to tell us
who wins Friday Oki
I want to break free.
Oh, God.
I want to break free.
I want to break free from your lies.
You're so self-satisfied.
I don't need you.
I've got to break free.
It's strange, but it's true Yeah, I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure when I walk out the door
Oh, how I want to be free
Baby
Oh, how I want to be free. Baby. Oh, how I want to be free.
Oh, how I want to break free.
I'm pretty happy with that, to be honest.
Believe it or not, one of those is the best.
One of those there is the supreme
Freddie Mercury
for Friday Oaky.
But the only way
we're going to know
is if you tell us.
That's right.
It's your turn to vote.
0800 DIAL ZM.
Who's got it this week

We'll play one song
and come back with a result.

Hey, I want to break free, yeah?

Friday Ooty!
You've just been rocked, New Zealand,
by two fantastic covers
of Queen's I Want to
Break Free. Yeah, I grew my moustache out
for this. Specially selected song for
Level 2 as well. I'm like, we all want to break free
and we are breaking free, within reason.
Yeah, well, within reason, yes. So we themed it
and who did it better? Was it me?
Oh, I want to be free, baby.
Oh, I want to be free.
Oh, how I want to break free.
That's a rough bit to choose.
Or is it Breeze?
Oh, how I want to be free, baby. Oh, how I want to be free, baby.
Oh, how I want to be free.
Oh, how I want to break free.
Freddie Mercury.
He was a bloody star, wasn't he?
He's turning in his grave.
Let's get some votes in.
James is here.
Hey, James.
Hi, James. Hi, James.
Hi.
That was really good, eh?
What we just did,
it was really good.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
You don't have to say yes, James.
Who did the better Friday Okie?
Who's the winner this week?
I'll say it was Brie.
Thank you, James.
Have a good weekend, mate.
He's voting against his own will. He didn't want to vote
for anyone. Shana's here.
Hey, Shana. Hi, Shana.
Hello. How are you, mate?
I'm good, thanks. How are you going? Very well.
Are you still okay after listening to that?
Look,
I commend you both.
Thank you. That was terrible.
Oh.
But I have to go with Clint on this one.
Okay, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
Cool, let's keep going.
Craig's here.
Hey, Craig.
Hi, Craig.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Yeah, not bad, thanks.
That's good.
Who's your vote for this week?
I have to vote for Bree.
Oh, cheers, Craig.
Appreciate that.
They were both very good, though, eh, Craig?
Oh, they were, but Bree, you had to get my vote this week, mate.
Oh, you're a legend, Craig.
Have a good weekend, mate.
Jackson, hi.
Hi, Jackson.
Hello.
Hey, what did you think, first of all?
That's fair enough, I think.
You've said enough.
Who's your vote for?
I'm going to vote for Bree because she's the least bearable.
One more time?
It wasn't quite clear. Sorry, I'm going to vote for Brie because she's the least bearable. One more time? It wasn't quite clear.
Sorry, I'm laughing.
I'm going to vote for Brie because at least she was bearable.
I will take that as a compliment
this week. It's the win as well.
Shane, your vote, just to
sew it up, who are you voting for?
Freddie Mercury.
You're a legend, Shano.
Have a good weekend, mate.
You too.
Cheers.
With the victory
comes the mandatory replay
as well.
So, New Zealand,
your Friday Oki champ
this week.
Oh, how I want to be free.
Baby.
Oh, how I want to be free.
Oh, how I want to break free.
If someone just tuned in and they heard and they thought,
okay, that's the winner, what the hell did the other one sound like?
Also very good, like I said.
Both just as good as each other, yes.
Very, very good.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday, it's my birthday
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
If you're just out of stage three and you're thinking,
oh, I've never heard this before,
well, this is where we take people's birthdays
and we figure out what was the actual number one song
top in the charts on their 16th birthday.
First person to play is Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi, Sarah.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
How are you?
Good.
I heard it's your birthday this weekend.
I am. Oh, cool. Are you doing anything exciting? How are you? Good, how are you? Good, I heard it's your birthday this weekend. It is.
Oh, cool.
Are you doing anything exciting?
Probably won't be doing anything exciting other than dinner.
That's right.
I hope that sounds good to me.
Dinner can be very exciting.
Exactly.
Depends how many drinks you have.
Sarah, what's your actual year of birthday and your actual date?
17th of May, 91.
Okay, you were 16 in 2007 on the 17th of May.
And in 2007, this had a number one hit.
Akon.
He was literally everywhere and on everything.
Yeah.
For a while.
And then he started producing everything too.
He discovered Lady Gaga.
Did he?
He signed Lady Gaga.
Wow.
Sarah, what are your thoughts on that?
I'll take it.
It's not bad.
It's good.
Okay, let's go another one for Emily.
Hi, Emily.
Hi, Emily.
Hi.
I heard Steve recently just had a birthday as well.
I have.
It's raining birthdays and birthday banger at the moment.
Yeah, 10th of May.
So happy birthday for the other day.
Thank you.
What year, Emily, are we talking?
1975.
All right.
You were 16 in 1991 on the 10th of May.
And, Emily, this is your birthday banger.
Vintage Cher.
That's awesome. I love this song, Emily.
Yeah, I love that one.
What year are we talking? 1991.
91. Yeah.
Nice. For some reason, I always think of this as being like a 70s song. Yeah. Me too, actually. Yeah, but Cher has had a hit in every decade. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. For some reason, I always think of this as being like a 70s song.
Yeah.
Me too, actually.
Yeah, but Cher has had a hit in every decade.
Literally.
After the last set.
Since the dawn of time.
Okay, wait there, Emily.
We've got one more to do.
It's for Tiana.
Hi, Tiana.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm great.
That's great.
How are you guys?
Looking forward to the weekend.
So am I.
What's your birthday,
Tiana? We'll do your birthday banger. January 26th, 1995. Right, you were 16 in 2001 on the 25th of January. And Tiana, Deanna, I love you.
I'm Limp Bizkit God.
I was a huge Limp Bizkit fan.
I was obsessed with this song,
and I memorized every F word in the song.
Yeah, right.
I knew that song off by heart, yeah, so it's a good one.
Is that the one where it goes,
if I say F one more time,
there's 48 Fs in this F.
The rhyme.
Chocolate softish.
Okay, well, we've got good news and bad news, Tiana.
We haven't even voted yet.
Believe it or not, the NZME Radio Company doesn't have that song.
We don't have it.
We don't have it.
Well, do you know what?
You have to play the sheer one then because that's one of my favourite songs.
I think you're right.
Yep, Tiana.
I think that's the way it does have to go.
I think you're right. So if you'll
accept that as the winner, then we can do
that. So it's for Tiana and it's
also for Emily.
Congratulations. You kind of both win birthday banger.
Woohoo! Thanks! Nice work guys.
Have a good weekend.

Zeddy and Brian Clintz
is the winner of Birthday Banger today.
We play some weird stuff on this show, honestly.
That's not that weird.
Cher is iconic.
Well, actually, to be honest,
it's not that weird for me
because I'm so obsessed with it.
Well, you came that close to playing Limp Bizkit.
Which I would have been just as happy.
We just didn't have the song, so we couldn't play it.
What Limp Bizkit songs do we have?
We've got Behind Blue Eyes.
Oh, yeah, the classic.
We've got their song they did for the Mission Impossible soundtrack.
Who did Fred Durst get into a fight with that time at the MTV Awards?
Was it Eminem?
Probably.
I think they were yelling at each other.
Yeah, probably.
Oh, good times.
Good times.
My flatmate came to me the other night and she had a question
and she was like, look, I've got a situation.
Yeah.
And I was like, okay, what's going on?
Because, you know, obviously we've just come out of level three
into level two where you can start, you know, moving around a little bit more.
Yeah, Bumble's heating up.
Bumble is heating up.
And she goes, I'm back on Bumble.
There's a real buzz around Bumble.
It is buzzing.
And she goes, I'm back on Bumble.
And so this is the situation.
She goes, ages ago I matched with this guy on Bumble.
And so what happens with Bumble is when you have an equal match,
you can message them and then they need to reply within a certain amount
of time or else the match times out.
Right.
Does that make sense?
So you can't leave someone on scene and then come back to them
when it suits you.
Is that the idea of that?
Exactly.
So if you reply, then you're all good, I'm pretty sure.
And then the conversation can stay open for you guys. Yes. Okay. when it suits you. Is that the idea of that? Exactly. So if you reply, then you're all good, I'm pretty sure.
And then the conversation can stay open for you guys.
Yes.
Okay.
Anyway, so she was like, I matched with this guy,
this was a fair while ago, and our match timed out.
He never replied.
Oh, okay.
And she said, you know, maybe he just didn't use it very much. And I was like, okay, so what's the problem then now?
And she goes, oh, well, he's come up on my bumble again
and I've swiped right and we matched.
Again.
Again.
So does he have had to have matched her again?
Yes.
Right, so they've both seen each other again and they both said,
oh, actually, I wanted another go at that.
Yes, exactly.
So they've matched again and then she's like,
it's about to time out again for the second time.
So she sent the message?
She sent the message, hey.
And he hasn't replied?
He hasn't replied again.
So she said to me, she's like, it's about to time out again for the second time.
Maybe this is, she didn't say this, but this is what I was thinking.
Maybe it's my soulmate.
Your soulmate who's left you unseen twice?
Well, you know, there could be a good reason.
Maybe he just doesn't use the app every day.
It's only 24 hours and it times out.
Have you seen the movie He's Just Not That Into You?
Because, because...
But he's swiping right, though.
I know he is, but you sound like the enabling friend
who keeps making excuses for this guy
who's not pulling finger and replying to the messages.
There's way more to this story.
Because she said, she goes, look, it's about to time out for the second time.
And I said, what are you going to do?
She goes, well, I'm not going to double message him,
but his Instagram is connected to his Bumble account.
Should I add him on Instagram or is that creepy?
Is that creepy?
See, I missed all the dating apps.
So I don't know.
And I know that there are some super sleuths out there
who can find anybody on social media.
But is it creepy to take it off the app and onto social media
before you've even talked?
Like obviously you're going to link up on Instagram eventually.
But to go and add the guy before you've even – because what's she going to do?
She's going to add him on Instagram and then she's going to DM him and go,
hey, just letting you know you've got a message from me
that you haven't seen on Bumble.
And if you could reply to that, it would be great.
Or you just act cool and you have no idea.
You're like, oh, saw your profile.
But how do you act cool?
How do you let them know that you've seen their profile and still act cool?
No, you just randomly slide into their DMms and just in a cool way forget about bumble anyway i said oh how did i end up in here i said to her look yeah i can see what you're saying
because i mean is it creepy if you have connected your instagram to your bumble account
yeah you want people to see your instagram well that's how you that's how they see more pictures Is it creepy if you have connected your Instagram to your Bumble account?
Yeah.
You want people to see your Instagram.
Well, that's how they see more pictures of you, right?
Exactly.
Is that the idea?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah.
Or you want to show off a little bit.
You want to show.
Maybe you got a few followers.
Well, maybe.
Guys, I'm kind of Insta famous.
Kind of.
Yeah.
And I'm like, if he's done that, then obviously he's put it out there. It's not like you've gone to Instagram and have stalked his first
name and just randomly found him.
Yeah. Look, I'm not dating.
So my opinion is dated.
I believe that... And I'm bad at dating
so I feel like I can't comment. Although you've had a bit
of bumble success. I have had
a lot of bumble success. I think
she's trying too hard.
It's my opinion, but let's put it out there.
But she hasn't done anything yet. No, I know. But I think to do that would be trying too hard. Okay. As it's my opinion, but let's put it out there. But she hasn't done anything yet.
No, I know.
I know.
But I think to do that would be trying too hard.
Okay.
And you've got to let these things happen.
You've got to just, unless for some reason he's the one
and she can tell that off three DPs on Bumble,
then in that case, go take a boom box and sing outside his house.
Okay, don't do that.
That is creepy.
Exactly right.
Well, it's no different to sliding into his
DMs in 2020. It's not the same thing.
It's a digital version of that. There's a lawsuit involved.
Oh, 800 dial ZM.
What do you want to know? Should she
add this guy
on Instagram that she's matched
with on Bumble but I've never spoken
to? Yeah, is that too far? Is it too
far? Can you tell us from
personal experience? Yeah, have you done it?
Or do you just have an opinion on this?
What does your gut say?
Help Bree's...
You already said who it was.
Yeah.
Help this anonymous person out.
It's on canal.
Bree and Clint.
It's a Bumble Dilemma.
Bumble Dilemma.
My flatmate, she came to me and she's on the Bumble train again
and she was like, you know, this is the situation.
I matched with this guy a couple of months ago
and then our match timed out.
He never messaged me back.
And then recently she's been back on Bumble.
They've matched again for the second time
and the match was about to run out again so we hadn't messaged her back.
So she's messaged twice, he's messaged nonce.
Yes. She has to message first because it's Bumble, messaged twice, he's messaged nunce. Yes. She has to
message first because it's Bumble, correct? Exactly.
So that has to be done. Yes. But what's
the message the second time? It's like, oh, hey stranger,
long time no... Well, he probably doesn't even remember.
Maybe. Maybe, maybe not.
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe. You want to know?
Is it creepy
or not? She asked me
if she finds him on Instagram
because it's connected with his Bumble account and just adds him.
Full disclosure, she's already found him on Instagram.
Yeah.
Can she just add him?
Yeah.
Robyn, what do you think?
Oh, my God, no.
For the love of God, no.
It's too far, eh?
It's too far.
No, exactly.
I'm sorry.
Okay, so they matched the he messaged, she messaged.
No, they matched, she messaged.
No, he would have got a notification.
He's looked.
He doesn't care.
Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated.
Oh, yes, girl.
I love that quote, Robyn.
That's very good.
That's really cool.
It's one to live by, I tell you.
Yeah.
And you live by that?
Um.
Yeah, there have been a couple of boys that I probably haven't applied that to
that I probably should have, but, you know, it's fine.
You love and you learn.
Well done.
Okay, love it, Robin.
Great energy.
Thank you.
Cody's here.
Hi.
Hi.
Cody, what do you think about this situation?
Well, I just think, YOLO, you know, what's the worst that could happen?
Well, the worst that could happen is she ends up in a six-month relationship
with an F-boy.
That's the worst that could happen.
Yeah, but, I mean, she's kind of not looking for anything serious either.
Oh, and then on with Cody YOLO.
Do it and regret it instead of not do it and regret not doing it.
It's so hard because I'm in both camps.
I'm like that one where I'm like, yeah, creepy and if he's not going to notice you.
And we just had that motivational thing from Robin.
Yeah, I know, but then I'm also like, oh, you know. Doesn't matter.
YOLO, just do it. Who cares?
Lauren, hi. Hi, how
you doing? Good. Can you make
up our minds? Look,
she should, A, it's creepy.
Like, I was...
For her to appear in his DMs on Instagram, it's
creepy, right? He probably
doesn't even realise his Instagram is attached
because guys are idiots.
But honestly, guys just swipe right.
They're not paying attention.
He probably doesn't even know that he's done it.
And if he swipes on everything,
he gets to pick and choose who he replies to.
Is that true, you reckon, Lauren?
I've seen guys doing it.
They just do the rapid thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, they really do.
Producer Ben, have you ever done that?
I mean, you're not on there anymore, but I'm saying, did you
ever do that? Yeah, I did that.
Your mic's not on. Hold on.
Sorry, mate. Is it on now? No, it's not on.
I think he's saying he did do that. Yeah, I did.
Did you? Did you? Yeah, I've definitely
done that, but I think it must have been a case of
your Instagram is all
on the app, and I was like, well, you obviously
want me to go there. No, wait. No, no, no, no, sorry, no, not go to the Instagram. When you was like, well, you obviously want me to go there.
No, no, no, no, no.
Sorry, no, not go to the Instagram.
We were saying, yeah, I'm so glad we've clarified this.
Have you ever done the speed swipe?
Say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes to everybody who comes up.
Oh, no.
No, I have not done that.
Good man.
I was going to say.
I was so eager.
I was like, yeah, of course.
Yeah, because you and I have talked about that before.
Yeah, no, very selective.
I was very selective.
We add people on the Instagram.
Lauren, are you on any of the apps currently?
I'm not, but I met my boyfriend on Bumble.
Yeah, right.
How's it going?
Yeah, right.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
We live together now.
Oh, cool.
That's awesome.
I don't think she can do it.
I think the feedback that we've got, she can't do it.
She has to just let this one go out to the universe.
And if they match a third time, then so be it.
But for now, she has to let it go.
There's a twist in the story.
She's already added them?
Because this happened yesterday, right?
Yeah.
And my partner's currently living at our flat.
And we said, oh, show us a picture of this guy.
Yeah.
And we'll tell you whether or not you should.
It's worth it.
You know? Anyway, she showed a picture of this guy and we'll tell you whether or not you should. It's worth it.
You know?
Anyway, she showed a picture of this guy to us and my girlfriend goes, oh my God, I know him.
Who is he?
I'm not going to say that because it might put it out there. No, I don't want you to say it, but who is he to you?
No, not to me.
Nothing to me.
But apparently he's a bit of a D-bag.
Oh.
And he's about 5'6".
And Annabelle is 5'7".
Yeah, right.
I'm just saying.
Yeah.
So why do we have to have the conversation
if you already knew he was a D-bag?
No, but Annabelle was like, oh, I still don't know.
You need ammo.
Okay.
And I was like, she knows him.
Bree and Clint. This is a pretty incredible story coming out of the Gold Coast of all places.
And it's about a mum who uncovered a statistical miracle.
A statistical miracle?
It is.
She uncovered not only one doubled yolk or egg in her dozen, but two.
And then she found another one.
And another doubled yoker.
Another doubled yoker after that.
And then she found one more doubled yoker.
That, if you count them all up, is 16 double yokers in a dozen.
Wait, wait, what?
Yes.
16 yokes in a dozen.
16 double yokers.
In a dozen.
Oh, no, six, sorry.
Six double yokers.
Half of the pack.
Half of the pack.
I'm getting ahead of myself.
I was like, how did she get 16 in a dozen?
That is a statistical miracle.
It is. It's pretty much impossible. Six double yokers out of the 12. I'm getting ahead of myself. I was like, how did she get six in a dozen? That is a statistical miracle. It is.
It's pretty much impossible.
Six double yokers out of the 12.
50% double yoker.
I think I've only ever had a double yoker once in my whole life.
I don't think I've ever had one.
It's like a four-leaf clover.
It is literally so rare.
And according to Google search, to find six double yokers in a dozen,
it's actually one in a quatillion chance.
Okay, you can't just make up numbers.
That's a real number.
That's 18 zeros.
A quatillion?
Quatillion.
Wow.
Quatillion.
It's definitely the sort of thing that you write to the local paper about.
Like you call the guy from the Rotorua Daily Post and, yeah, right?
It's on the news.
Oh, there you go.
I thought we could give it a go this afternoon.
Producer Ben's gotten a dozen eggs here.
Yeah.
I've never had a double yoker before so I'd be happy with one.
How many would you be happy with?
One.
I'd be happy with one.
Like we're doing it live on the radio.
One.
Because I know you won't get one.
One would be a statistical miracle.
I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but you're not
going to get one. Look at that egg. That's a big egg, isn't it?
It's a beautiful looking egg. I'm going to leave that one till the
end because I think it might
be a winner. Okay. If I
get a double yoker,
you owe me 50 bucks. Why?
Why do I owe you 50 bucks?
Well, you already owe me 100. Okay.
Well, if you don't get one, you owe me
50 bucks. Nah, let's not do that100. Okay, well, if you don't get one, you owe me $50.
Nah, let's not do that then.
First egg.
All right.
Single yoke.
Damn.
Single yoke.
Second egg.
That's a big egg.
Second egg.
Second egg.
Single yoke. Single yoke.
All right.
We're going to be here for a while.
Third egg.
Single yoke. Oh, I got be here for a while. Third egg. Single yolk.
Oh, I got excited there for a second, though.
Did you think it was one?
You've got a good cracking technique.
Fourth egg.
Are we going to sit here for a dozen?
Single.
Single.
Okay.
All right.
Hold on.
How many are we down?
You've got the eggs.
This is five.
Single. I'm going to be
so, I'm going to literally probably
be so ecstatic if we get one.
We're going to have such a, so many
eggs.
Single.
Single. Alright, what are we up to? Seven?
Oh, it's a big one, it's a big one.
Oh. Single.
Producer Ben was excited then. Is there a way that we could rig this? Like hopefully Producer Ben has organised us a big one. It's a big one. Oh. Single. Producer Ben was excited then.
Is there a way that we could rig this?
Like, hopefully Producer Ben has organised us a double yoke.
How could you, though?
I know, that's the problem.
Single.
Single, right.
We've got four left.
Four left.
Four left.
Okay, here we go.
Come on, double yoke.
Nah.
Single.
Is there luck involved?
Do we need someone who has more double yoke luck to crack one?
I feel like we've come this far.
We might as well just crack them.
Single.
Single.
There's two left.
Two.
That looks pretty big.
That one's got chicken feathers on it.
Okay.
Single.
Your logic is that bigger means it's more likely to be a double.
That's what I think.
Is that not true?
I don't know.
I don't know how eggs work.
We should have called Vaughan and asked him about his chickens.
Yeah.
See if he has a trick for producing double yogurts.
This is it.
The last egg.
I saved this one from the start.
Yeah.
If this is a double yogurts.
Kiss it.
Kiss it.
Say something positive to it.
Say something encouraging.
Listen here, you little bitch.
You better be a double yoga.
I'm going to come and I'm going to find your mum chicken.
I'm going to take her home.
All right, just.
It's a single.
They can't see.
You should have just pretended it's can't see. Just choose.
You should have just pretended it's just the radio.
Damn it!
Oh, my God!
It's a double!
Seven double yokers.
Could you believe it?
That's 18 yokes.
Buy a lottery ticket tonight.
What are the odds?
Hey, good bit, man. If you missed the result of the double yoke off, we did it.
We cracked a card in the double yokes.
I can't believe all 12 were double yokes.
I know.
And I can't believe we forgot to video it.
What a shame.
What happened to the producer Ellie?
The cameras went down.
Did the cameras go down?
We have been having problems.
Oh, large issues around here.
Can't put anything out, sorry.
But you can confirm 12 from 12 double yokes.
Were you here?
Yeah.
I definitely saw that with my own eyes, yes.
And she won a radio award today.
She wouldn't lie.
She wouldn't lie.
Okay, to money news and my favourite kind of money news,
other people's money news.
That's what I like to talk about.
There's news out today that the world could be about to have its first ever trillionaire.
Is it Jeff Bezos?
Because he's been going well these days, hasn't he?
Yeah, it's Jeff Bezos.
Yeah, I knew it was going to be him.
They're saying that by 2026, he could be the world's first ever trillionaire.
There's never been someone worth a trillion dollars.
He's currently the richest man in the world
and the richest man of all time, I think.
Don't quote me on that, but there's never been a trillionaire.
He has $143 billion currently
and they reckon the way that his fortune is expanding, it could be
the first trillion here. Because you've got to look at how
he makes money. He has
the perfect business
for a pandemic. Amazon
is what? It's delivery,
which is what everyone needs at the moment, contactless.
It's entertainment with
Amazon Prime, the TV service that they offer.
And some cloud computer shit
that I don't understand. Like that stuff.
I don't know.
What's the cloud stuff?
They do like Zoomy stuff or something.
I don't know.
They do computer stuff.
Amazon, Alexa.
They do Alexa and stuff.
So he's perfectly poised to continue making money.
And you know when you've got money, you make money.
He's 30% richer than Bill Gates, the person who's behind him.
Bill Gates has $100 billion.
And then who's behind?
Zuckerberg, $78 billion.
It's too much money.
It's too much money.
I would never ever want that much money.
No, and if you did, you'd want to do some good with it, right?
Exactly.
The only thing I'd want to do, I wouldn't want to make any more money
because I don't need it.
His employees in his factories
aren't paid very well and
they don't have good health insurance and stuff
like that and yet there's news articles saying
you're on track to be a trillionaire. How do
you look your employees in the eye?
How do you go into the building and go, good job fellas?
I guess you don't because you live in outer
space because you're Jeff Bezos.
It's just crazy to think, you know,
I think greed is such a real thing
and when people like that get a taste of like being a billionaire
and success, all they want to do and all they really can do
is just be like I'm going to make more and more and more and more.
Yeah.
And like there's no limit.
A lot of it's tied up in the value of the company,
like how much his company is worth.
Oh, he'd have enough to play around with.
Yeah, he's got a better space.
I think he'd be all right. He could walk – have a- Oh, he'd have enough to play around with. Yeah, he's got a bit of space.
I think he'd be all right.
He could walk-
He spends like, what, $55 million on a house.
Yeah, he could walk onto the Toyota dealership
and buy himself a signature class if he wanted to.
Do you-
The best model.
Can your brain understand the amount of money
that a trillion dollars is?
So wait, so he's got a-
How much has he got?
He's currently got $143 billion.
$143 billion?
Yeah, well, do you know how much a billion is, first of all? Yeah, it's $100 million. No,. $143 billion? Yeah.
Well, do you know how much a billion is, first of all?
Yeah, it's $100 million.
No, it's $1,000 million.
Why is it $1,000 million?
Because $100 million is $100 million.
You can have $200 million, $300 million, but you never say $1,000 million.
So if you've got $1,000 million, you have a billion.
It's $1,000 million?
That's a billion.
And so a trillion is a million million dollars.
One million.
Say again, say again.
So a trillion dollars is a million million dollars
or a thousand billion dollars.
A thousand billion?
A thousand billion.
That's how many in a trillion.
I can understand that more than the.
More than a million million? Yeah. Well. A thousand billion. A thousand billion. That's how many in the trillion. I can understand that more than the... More than a million million?
Yeah.
Well...
A thousand billion.
So say you've got a house in Auckland.
So it's like, yeah.
A run-down house, two-bedroom, do-up, which is worth a million dollars.
Yeah.
Which is crazy.
You could buy a million of those.
Right.
With a trillion dollars.
That's all I could get.
A million.
What?
Just kidding.
Maths hurts.
And that's why we don't have that kind of money.
But good on you, Jeff.
Bree and Clint.
Do we have any Spice Girls music at the ready?
Yeah.
Always.
We've always got Spice Girls music at the ready.
Got to. There's some big news coming out about got Spice Girls music at the ready. Got to.
There's some big news coming out about the Spice Girls
because obviously they had their big reunion tour last year, 2019,
where they did 13 different dates and venues.
All in the UK, right?
All in the UK.
There was rumours.
Remember when Mel B, no, Mel C, sorry, let slip that they were coming to Australia.
Yeah.
And then they didn't end up coming.
Well, to be fair, probably a good thing because the tour would have got cancelled anyway.
Yeah.
So anyway, they had a big falling out, right?
They tried it and they realised that they can't work together.
Who was it?
Was it Mel C again?
It was scary.
Mel B.
Mel B, yeah, it was Mel B. She came out
and said that there was like a... And she
did the book where she said
that her and Geri had a... Hookup.
Had a hookup and Geri was like, we didn't.
Back in the day or some crap like that.
Anyway, this story
is about Geri Halliwell.
We used to know her as, but her new name is
Geri Horner. Of course,
Ginger Spice.
She has spoken out about
and has had her accounts filed
for pretty much
what is suggesting she
made on the massive tour last
year. Oh, so keen to know. Which is
quite interesting to me. Now, before you
give the figure, do we think all the Spice
girls got paid the same amount for the tour?
I'd like to think they did.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
Except Posh.
Yeah, well, Posh, she didn't.
She had to get paid because she's part of the brand
and they were using the brand.
But she didn't go.
But she can't get a performing fee, can she?
Yeah, surely not.
She can't get a rehearsal fee.
You'd like to think not.
But let me give you some context. She can't get her per diem.'d like to think not. But let me give you some context.
She can't get her per diem.
No.
She's like, where's my other $50 for my snacks?
For my meal allowance.
Yeah, God.
You don't eat, woman.
You can't have a meal allowance.
So to give you a little bit of context around Jerry Horner, Ginger Spice,
she has a company that deals with all this type of stuff.
It's called Wonderful Productions.
Anyway, that company last year made a total profit.
No, sorry, the year before they did the tour.
So this is how much the company was making before they did the tour.
Yeah, good, good, good, good.
They made profit $6,345.
Is that it?
Yep.
$6,000.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
And then she has filed for last year after the sold-out tour,
and her company has raked in $5,956,335.
Good for her.
That was 13 concerts.
Yeah.
That's, yeah, good for her.
Goes to show, they've still got it.
Couple hundred thousand dollars a show.
So we've just talked about Jeff Bezos
and we've called him greedy. Yeah. Now let's
look at Jerry Halliwell. Let me flip that around. You're a
Spice Girl, you're an icon. You're doing 13
shows, but that's 13 shows
in 15 years.
That's what you've got to average it out to.
Did she make enough? Is $5 million enough? Hold on, hold on. Let's what you've got to average it out to. Yeah. Did she make enough?
Is $5 million enough?
Hold on, hold on.
Let's figure this out.
So she's made, wait, she's made pretty much $6 million.
$6 million.
So she's made half a million dollars a show.
$6 million.
Just under.
Divided by what, 15?
13.
13 shows?
Yeah.
Did you figure it out? No, I'm waiting for you to do it. 13. 13 shows? Yeah. Did you figure it out?
No, I'm waiting for you to do it.
13.
She's made $461,000 a show.
Pretty good.
Pretty damn good payday.
For getting up there.
And not lip syncing because she doesn't lip sync, does she?
No.
We don't know.
It's raining.
I want to know how much Posh Spice got.
Anyway, off the back of the success, this is where I was getting to.
There is rumblings of another reunion tour after all this COVID stuff dies down.
It'll be huge.
So it'll be massive.
If they come here and we can get concerts here, it'll be massive.
Oh, don't even say it because I will lose my mind.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, a woman is claiming
that Tristan Thompson
is the dad of her baby.
Also ex to Khloe Kardashian
Tristan Thompson is.
Yes, so here's the deal, right?
Let me just be clear. This woman, her name is
Kimberly Alexander. She does
not have a child to Tristan Thompson,
although she alleges that she does.
They went and did a DNA test.
Tristan took the DNA test.
It proved that he is not the father.
She still went to the press
and still continued to spread these lies.
She alleges that Khloe Kardashian
has paid people off in Hollywood
to keep their mouth shut
about this alleged, a little bit,
you know, illegitimate child.
Here's what Tristan did.
Tristan said, I will do another test.
I will take another one, a second one.
And, of course, now this Kimberly Alexander woman said,
no, no, no, no, no, we've done one.
We don't need another.
Sorry, they've pulled out the big guns.
Marty Singer is the lawyer that Chloe and Tristan have employed.
He's like the shark of Hollywood.
He is firing letters off her.
And I don't think we'll be hearing much more of this, you know,
moving forward because it's not true.
It's just a money grab.
Dean, did Tristan and this woman actually ever have, like, you know,
did they date?
Did they hook up?
Was there an affair?
Or is it just totally out of the blue?
Good, great question.
I don't think they had an affair during the Chloe time.
That I'm not sure of.
But I do know they were together.
So that's why they even entertained doing a test.
You know what I mean?
She's not a nut job.
Could be his kid, then.
Well, who knows?
I mean, the last couple of allegations against him,
there's been footage to confirm it's true.
So, I mean, who knows?
I just feel sorry for Chloe,
who has to continuously go through this kind of stuff.
She's not with them, eh?
Is she, Dean?
I'm pretty sure she's not anymore.
Well, they're not really together.
They're co-parenting.
They're really close.
But I don't think they're actually in a relationship per se.
But they do closely co-parent the baby.
Because what happened was Chloe and him were together
and she got pregnant.
And then it was about a couple of weeks before she gave birth
and that whole first cheating saga came out with those women.
And then she had the baby, true, and then they got back together.
She forgave him.
And then that whole cheating saga with Kylie Jenner, her younger sister,
so her best friend, Jordan, the whole cheating thing between her and Tristan
came out and then Chloe was like Now I'm done
And what you've just witnessed
Is the plot lines
For seasons 13
14
And 15
For Keeping Up
With the Kardashians
The shipwrights itself
They're an amazing business
Aren't they
It's crazy
