Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast where today for the first time possibly ever We need to go to the mailbag. Oh, yeah, let's go to the Bree and Clint mailbag. We've been sent mail This is what radio announcers used to do on the regular. They didn't have a text machine They call it the P.O. box. Yeah, they'd check the fax machine And then the internet came and we don't do that anymore. But today we have real-life mail Yep, real mail from a podcast listener over in Australia And then the internet came and we don't do that anymore. But today we have real life mail. Yep. Real mail from a podcast listener over in Australia, Queensland, Australia.

And I'll read out the note that he sent. Yeah. To Brie and Clint, please enjoy these mocha Maltesers. TransTasman? Would you like me to read it? Oh, no. Please enjoy these mocha Maltesers. Tran Country Queensland.

I think it's from. Oh, yep. No, it's from. Well, that looks like a T. And I was thinking Trans-Tasman. Maltesers from Country Queensland. Warwick. I apologize if they end up slightly melted. A shout out would be great when you receive them.

Brayden, little ex, a valued podcaster. Love the show. Hashtag come on, Eileen. Ha ha. Very funny from Brayden. Can I say that is right near my mum and dad's house? Warwick? Yeah, Warwick, Queensland.

We used to go there. Like it's about 25 minutes from my mum and dad's house. Warwick? Yeah, Warwick, Queensland. We used to go there, like it's about 25 minutes from my mum and dad's place. Mocha Maltesers as well. What an invention. They were delicious. They were very good. Thank you, Brayden. Delicious. A small taste of home, you could say for you.

I've never had them. Do they come from your town though? Yeah, I'll take that. Do we have them here? I don't know. I've never seen them. Do we have them here? I don't know. I've never seen them. Do we have these here in New Zealand? Ellie would know.

Sorry to assume you would know, Ellie. No, well, I've never seen them before, so I don't think we do. Really? I don't think so. Oh, that makes it a little special. Do we have any Malteser variations? White Maltesers? Then we've got dark.

Yuck. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Some things don't need to come in dark. Yeah. Everything. Nah, some things are good. Nah, I hate all chocolate.

Dark fruit and nut is good. Well, the first problem is that it's fruit and nut. You say that, you say that, you say that. But Lucy, my wife, hated fruit and nut too. She called me, she said I have boomer taste. You do. I don't. You do.

But then dark got her over the line. She's like, mm-mm, okay, daddy. That's like adding more shit onto a pile of shit. All right. Well, what's good dark? There must be something good dark. You've obviously, oh, no, you have. What?

I was going to say, you've never dated a paleo person before. Yeah, I've dated, yes. I did. And that's when you learn to suffer dark chocolate. You're like, well, this person only eats like 80% cocoa now. Oh, that stuff is horrible. You're like, well, if I want to have anything sweet in the house, I better learn to like it.

My brother buys like, I swear to God, it's like 99.99999% cacao. And he's like, oh, this is delicious chocolate. Oh, treat myself. And I was like, that's not chocolate. That's a piece of bark. I was like, why are you eating that and calling it chocolate? Each one of these is only 18 burpees. I'm going to have six.

Yeah, right. So thank you for the mail. We really appreciate it. Do you guys think... How did they get our address? That's impressive. Yeah, that is impressive. I think it would be on the internet.

All right. Do you think fruit and nut, I'm still on this fruit and nut train, is like fruitcake? I bet you love fruitcake. I love fruitcake. Why does he like all the old people stuff? Love fruitcake. And you know what the good thing about liking fruitcake is? No one else likes it.

It's not Christmas time. It's horrible. All the fruitcake you can eat. I go to Lucy's parents' place and Anne, my mother-in-law, makes a fantastic fruitcake and it's only me and Richard, Lucy's dad, who eat it. And we just go

piece for piece and piece for piece and she's like, eat more of that fruitcake. I want it gone. I'm like, with pleasure. And then she's like,

the fruitcake's getting dry so she pours brandy on it. That's how you keep a fruitcake moist. Really? Yeah. I've never heard an older statement

come out of your mouth. So you guys don't like fruit cake either? No, I don't like it. And you don't like fruit and nut? Nah. Probably not, no.

Like a leader, but I don't love it. You like it better. It reminds you of trail mix. Yeah, I don't mind the chocolate bar, but I wouldn't have the fruit cake,

the Christmas one. If you could pick, you probably would pick something way before fruit and nut chocolate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I definitely would, yeah. Do you guys like

rum and raisin ice cream? Yeah, I don't mind that. I don't even think I've tried it guys like rum and raisin ice cream? Yeah, I don't mind that. I don't even think I've tried it because it sounds horrific. It's terrible. No, I don't mind that. Yeah. Raisin. Raisin's weird to put in ice cream.

It is weird. Why? But it's nice. Put raisins in everything. Raisins suck. Why even invent raisins? Who goes, oh, I'm going to dry out these grapes. Sun made.

That'll be delicious. The sun made people. Who did that? Here's a throwback. That'll be delicious. The sun-made people. Who did that? Here's a throwback. Did you have the box of sun-made raisins in Australia? Yeah, we called them sultanas. Oh, those are sultanas, not raisins.

What's the difference? Sultanas are a lot sweeter. I think sultanas are green and raisins are red. Yeah, I think that's right. That's what I thought. Anyway, the box and you can blow through it and it whistles. That's great. Did you have that?

No, we didn't have that. Blow into the sun-made raisin box. My mum used to give me sultanas for lunch. Did you not do that? I never ate them. Ever. Sultanas? I used to throw them at kids on the bus.

Oh, that's mean. That's nice. No, like as a game. They would try and catch them. They were just like, in their mouth. Gareth, you fuckwit. Have a sultana. Gareth.

He loved it. We had a bus driver named Neil, and he would hate us. Like, anyway. Well, because of the Sultanas you threw around? Probably. And fair enough. Neil, this one time, though, had a bad day. Have I told you this story before?

I feel like I have. I don't know. Anyway, we're pulling up to this one stop, which, like, in the country is, like, literally on a dirt road, like, in the middle of nowhere. It's not an actual bus stop. Anyway, he pulls over and there's all these cars kind of waiting in this dirt kind of area off to the side of the road because they're waiting to pick up their kids. Anyway, Neil doesn't see this car that has a door open

and fully takes the door clean off this car. Far out. Holy shit. Neil. Neil's in the wrong job. Yeah out. Holy shit. I was like. Neil's in the wrong job. Yeah. No, anyway, it was fine.

He came back the next day. We had to have a different bus for like two months. I can imagine being angry. What happened to the bus? It had to go get fixed because he took a door off. And then one of the backs of the seats came off and one day it was just me, Neil, and I think my sister left on the bus and maybe one other kid. And I said, hey, Neil, you know that seat that's come off?

Can I put it in the middle aisle and you just hit the brakes and I'll slide down the aisle? And he was like, yeah, all right, let's give it a go. Oh, my gosh. It was so fun. Neil needs to have his credentials checked. I can imagine why you'd be angry though Because every single bus in the world

As you go to get on it There's a sign that says Bus Neil's on request And you get on the bus And the guy's got the name tag Neil And you're like Hey buddy Will you?

Do you? Go on then He was a happy guy Do you? I miss Neil Yeah What happened to him? Nothing

I just don't ride on the bus anymore. Oh, good. Yeah. The story's fine. I was like, oh, what a horrible end to that story. Anyway, Neil died in a fiery crash. Yeah, better play the podcast. Yeah, look at the time.

Yeah, got to get out of here. Oh, look at the time. It's 8.30. Nine. So here it is. Enjoy it. See you soon. Bye. Hey, Google. What's the time it's 8 30 9 um so here it is enjoy it see you soon bye hey google what's the time it's 3 p.m give or take a minute alexa play zm on iheart radio playing zm on iheart radio hey sir and when are brie and clint on brie and clint are on air in five four three two one yeah hi everybody um brie and clint sorry they just brushed over that detail very quickly in the news which detail 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Yeah, hi everybody.

Brie and Clint, sorry, they just brushed over that detail very quickly in the news. Which detail? Christmas in the Park has been cancelled. Oh. How are you, how, I mean, enough is enough, guys. Did you go last year? No, I've never been, but you know. Christmas in the Park. So why do you care that if you've never been?

Coca-Cola, Christmas in the Park. So why do you care that if you've never been? Coca-Cola, Christmas in the Park. What is Frankie Stevens going to do if he can't sing at Christmas in the Park? He'll do Easter in the Park next year. True, hopefully we can get Easter in the Park. Seems like a long way away to be cancelled. I mean, I don't know how these things work, but just... It does seem like a long time away. Does that mean we're not going to be sorted by Christmas time?

No, but didn't you hear because we've been in lockdown and, you know, It does seem like a long time away. Does that mean we're not going to be sorted by Christmas time? No, but didn't you hear because we've been in lockdown and, you know, we don't know really where we are in the year, they've decided to do Christmas in July, an actual Christmas in July this year? Oh, I like that idea. I'm keen for that. Yeah. Do we get Christmas holidays as well?

Yeah. I've been thinking with this, like, I know it hasn't been a holiday, but lockdown that we've been on, like some people have been at home for a long time. Yeah. I've been thinking, with this, like, I know it hasn't been a holiday, but lockdown that we've been on, like some people have been at home for a long time. Yeah. Are we still going to want a Christmas holiday at the end of the year? There'll be some people who definitely will. Yeah, that's a stupid question, actually.

But, you know, like are some bosses going to go, hey, no Christmas holidays this year? Who would ever? Actually, there'd be people who are like, oh, God, going back to the family home, no thanks. Oh, sorry, can't this year. Who would ever? Actually, there'd be people who are like, oh God, going back to the family home. No, thanks. Oh, sorry, can't this year. I already took my holidays for lockdown.

Or schools. Like school went back today. Like, and they've been off for so long. They're going to go, you guys are too dumb. You miss out on too much school. You got to work through the Christmas holidays. We did a test and you guys, you guys didn't do any of your online lessons.

We can looking at the scores right here. You guys haven't done anything. So you're working, you're doing schoolwork right through Christmas. That would be the most devastating thing in the whole world for kids, not for parents. They'd probably like that. Yeah, they're like, we're off to Pawanui. Yeah, see you later.

Have fun at school. Right, okay. Fun show on the way for you. Of course, we have another of the Daddy Bloomfield extravagant answers to give away today. Yeah, there's heaps of prizes this week. A whole nother week because Dr. Ashley Bloomfield heard about the cause finally and he's like,

I'll jump on board. I'll get involved with that. So today we will shout a romantic date night for you and your partner if you text daddy to 9696 and we'll pick a winner at four o'clock. I heard you can get to pick your favourite restaurant wherever you want.

Well, I hope so. I think that's what it was. I don't want Ross Boss choosing the restaurants. Up next, I want to talk moon boots. If that's you, how long were you in it? Why? Where did you have to wear it to? I'll tell you the celebrity Can I borrow it?

Can I borrow it for unrelated reasons? There's a celebrity, they're in a moon boot I'll tell you who it is next Can you wear two moon boots? I've seen someone in two moon boots before And can you dance? All these questions will be answered next Look, I want to have a bit of a moon boot chat

A bit of a moon, okay Yeah, that's why we got this thing here Is that what this is for? This is for the moon boot? This is for the moon boot And it's not about the actual moon Or like space suit boots You just couldn't find a song that had the word moon boot in it No, no one's not about the actual moon or like space suit boots. You just couldn't find a song that had the word moon boot in it.

No, no one's written about it, funnily enough. But we're talking about... What about that band? What band? Walk the Moon Boot. Walk the Moon Boot. Yeah, they haven't released anything in a while. Nah, true, true, not a relevant reference.

Let's stick with Savage Garden. Hey, Savage Garden will always be relevant to me. They're timeless. Yeah, I hear they play them on the sound. Of course, we're talking about, you know, the moon boot that you have to get if you have an injury. And usually it's the ankle or the foot or something that needs to be encased by the moon boot.

Because there's a Hollywood star who has had to wear a moon boot whilst in lockdown. And the big Hollywood star who is currently rocking a moon boot is Nicole Kidman. Oh, what happened to kidders? She broke it. Yeah. What is Nicole Kidman's nickname?

Nikki. No, I don't think anyone's calling her Nikki. I think her nickname's Nicole Kidman. Nikki from the block., I don't think anyone's calling her Nikki. I think her nickname's Nicole Kidman. Nikki from the block. What did she do? What's happened to Nikki? She has broken her ankle. Ouch.

Yeah. So she, they don't know exactly how she's done it, but it's caused a bit of mystery. Filming Australia 2. Well, she may be. She could be filming a film, but she got photographed walking around with a moon boot on her right leg.

That's no good. That's no good. Filming Eyes Wide Shut 2. These are all relevant references as well. She's going down the stairs with eyes wide shut and then moon boot territory. What was the movie she was in that was something magic?

Oh, Hocus Pocus. Was she in Hocus Pocus? No, she wasn't in Hocus Pocus. Something magic. The Witches one, right? Yeah. No. Yes.

With Sandra Bullock. What was that movie? Practical Magic. Practical Magic. Is that it? Yeah, I think that was it. Maybe her and Sandra are coming back for the second one of that movie. Yeah, where's the moon boot joke in there? Oh, I didn't have a moon boot

joke in there. Anyway, it got me thinking because obviously when someone's in a moon boot, you feel sorry for them because you're like, oh, I don't know how long they've been in that or how long they have to be in that. Have you ever put one on and walked around in it? No, I haven't. But I remember when Caitlin Merritt worked here, producer Caitlin from Fletch Vaughan and Megan's show, she got a moon boot to get up in the club so that she could get some sympathy. Yeah, I saw that.

I put that on in the office. And how did it go? And just to see what it was like. Yeah. It is so hard to walk in and your calf really hurts. Yeah, but do people give you extra like... I didn't go out in it. Yeah, right.

I probably should have. Yeah. Why? Have you? No, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't. I wouldn't fake an injury. I'm just curious. Yeah, neither.

I've seen people in them and I know they're a pain in the ass. I think they're a magic invention because you can go about your life to a certain extent. But after a while, anything like that would become a pain in the butt. Yeah, absolutely. We want to know from you guys on 0800DIALZM, how long did you have to wear the moon boot for? And in that long period, what were some of the awkward places you had to wear the moon boot?

Yeah, were you in a moon boot at R&V? I've seen that. Imagine if you're the groom or the bride and you're in a moon boot. Oh. That's not fun. Would a bride wear a moon boot at R&V. I've seen that. I've seen that. Imagine if you're the groom or the bride and you're in a moon boot. Oh. That's not fun. Would a bride wear a moon boot or would she postpone the wedding? Can you get a white moon boot? Oh, my God.

I've got so many questions. Yeah, can you get a white moon boot? Yeah, you just spray paint it white. Moon booters. Oh, $800 at M. How long did you have to wear it for and where were the awkward places you had to go with the moon boot on? Bree and Clint.

Nicole Kidman has broken her ankle during lockdown and she's having to wear a moon boot. I don't know how long she's going to have to wear it for, but I do know when friends of mine have had to wear a moon boot before, it seems like months and months and months. You don't sleep in a day, do you? That's a good question. Let's ask the moon boot people.

Yeah, well, we can ask them because we've asked you to call on 0800-DIAL-ZM. We want to know how long were you in the boot for and where were the awkward places you had to wear it? Ellie's here first. Hi, Ellie. Hi. Hello, how are you? Good, thank you.

By the way, have you just come back to ZM? Have you been listening during lockdown or is this back in your routine? Oh, Ali. Hi. Hello, how are you? Good, thank you. By the way, have you just come back to ZM? Have you been listening during lockdown or is this your back in your routine? Oh, well, I'm glad we've always had you then. Ali, was it you that had to wear a moon boot? I did. I went to a Bruce Springsteen concert. Fantastic. Yeah.

And, yeah, as I said, I'll go up the bank, go up the stairs so I can get out quicker. So what did I do? Went up the bank, didn'll go up the stairs so I can get out quicker. So what did I do? Went up the bank, didn't I? In a moon boot? In a moon boot? No, I had broke my ankle there. Oh, this is how you got into the moon boot. And we live on the coast and it was such a long drive and I worked on it for nearly three

days and realised it was broken. Oh my God, your pain threshold must be huge. So I had a cafe, so it was a matter of, you know, I couldn't really have time off. And then I went to the doctors and they said it was broken, so I had to wear it for weeks and work for six weeks with no time off with a moon boot on. Bloody hell, Ellie.

You don't sleep in it. You don't sleep in it. There you go. Alright, well good to know. What a nightmare. How did you not know you'd broken your ankle? Yeah, I've heard people doing that. Catherine's here, hey. All right. Well, good to know. Thank you. What a nightmare. How did you not know you'd broken your ankle? Yeah, I've heard people doing that. Catherine's here. Hey. Hi, Catherine.

Catherine. Catherine. Catherine. Oh, there she is. Was it you in the moon boot, Catherine? Yes. What happened? Okay.

So what happened to me is that I'd broken a nipple, right? Yeah. And then there was this job applicant that I was supposed to, like I had this job interview and then the lady was like, oh, go through the whole application and read it through and stuff. And I was like, yes, it is. And I didn't read through the whole application, right? And then I was like, oh, yeah, I read through the whole thing. It all goes, like I can start next Monday.

She was like, do you realize that this is a six month contract that you can't pull out of this job once we give you the job and I was like yeah I'm all into this job and then we went to the interview and she was like oh you got the job so you'll be starting tomorrow and she was like are you like in a boot

I heard that you were in a moon boot by your friends and I was like yeah I am is that a problem and she was like no but since you said that you've read through the whole application, that means you said that you were all good to stand all day. Yeah. And I was like, wait, wow. What's the job? What was the job?

It was standing up, piling up boxes. Yeah, right. Take the boxes and put them down. Catherine, I thought you were going to say it was a swim coat. No, luckily. Catherine, Catherine, Catherine, let's get to the bottom of this. You didn't read the application, did you? No.

Who does, though? It was 14 pages, front and back. I was so keen to get the job. Yeah, we know, Catherine, but you didn't even know what the job was. I don't blame you, Catherine. What if the job was piloting an aircraft, Catherine? I don't care how keen you were. She'll figure it out.

She can learn while she goes. Do we have a job for Catherine here? It doesn't matter what it is. She doesn't care what the job is. She just has to be sitting down. We've only got time for one more, I think. So let's go to Tiana. Hi, Tiana. Hi there.

Was it you that was in a moon boot? It was. I spent 21 weeks in total. How many months is that? Six months. That's like five to six months. How come? Why?

What did you do? Your Achilles tendon or something? I slipped out on my motorbike and got it crushed and went to hospital. They told me it was a sprain. Popped me in a boot and said one week off and go back to work. Went back and found out three weeks later it had two fractures either side of my ankle. And so I've been working full time as a rock climbing instructor.

Oh! Who rides a motorbike? Were you climbing rocks with a moon boot on? I attempted a little bit. You're awesome. Can you imagine just seeing her do that? Yeah. And then Catherine's out the front going, I want a job here too.

I'll do anything. I want to climb some rocks. Yeah, I'm in a moon boot, but I'll climb that wall. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. He's back and he's got news on a leaked Demi Lovato track. Good afternoon, Dean. Hi, Dean.

Hey, guys. Live from LA. Here's the scoop and the goss going down in Hollywood today. A leaked track. I love a diss track and I love when they're leaked diss track. Here's what happened. Demi Lovato wrote a song slamming her dear friend, well, former dear friend, Nick Jonas. Now, remember, these two were in Disney together.

They've known each other for years. They've toured together. They were great friends, but no longer. Here's some of the lyrics in the leaked diss track. How's this? It was all good back when we were working for the big mouse, referring to Disney. We were best friends, family in between, nothing.

Never thought you'd be the enemy. You left me to die is one of the lyrics. Oh, fighting words. That is heavy stuff. Do we have a little snippet of it? Yeah, we've got a clip of it. This is Ain't No Friends. You ain't no friend of mine.

You ain't no friend of mine. No Friends. That's intense. Now, Dean, how do we know that it's about Nick Jonas? Are people just assuming if they connected the dots, or how do we know? Good question. I think they've connected the dots, or how do we know? Good question. I think they've basically connected the dots. So one of the lyrics she refers to Disney, one she refers to the name of their tour, one she says this ain't no safe house, referring to Safe House Records,

which was the label that they were both at at the same time. So it's so many references to Nick Jonas that they've just connected the dots. So that's kind of how we've figured this one out. I thought they appeared in Carpool Karaoke together, or was that another Jonas? Nick Jonas. Possibly. Also, I've heard at the end of the song she goes,

the song's about Nick Jonas. So, yeah, it's fairly obvious. This is the new Bad Blood from Taylor Swift song. Right. That's the latest from Hollywood with our correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Bree and Clint. We've got a special announcement to make for the nation.

Oh, I'm like Ashley Bloomfield standing at the pulpit, ready to deliver the figures for the day. But it's not. It's not. We're not going to talk about that thing because it's nothing to do with that thing. No, don't talk about that. It's not to do with that thing. This is good news that has nothing to do with that thing.

Is it good news? I think it's good news, yeah. It's a milestone, that's for sure. It's a milestone, yeah. And I'm proud of it. We got here together. Please be upstanding, everybody. You're building it up a lot.

No, no, no, this is good. I think you're building it up too much. This is what we always wanted, this thing. No, now you say you've built it up too much now. People are going to think that we're... Well, can you still be upstanding, please, for a sense of occasion? Today, New Zealand officially

has a population of 5 million. Well done, guys. Guys, we did it. I feel like I was definitely a part of it. You are part of it. Because I've moved in the last three years. Yeah, you are. You're literally part of it. Ellie, you're part of it. You are part of it. Because I've moved in the last three years. Yeah, you are. You're literally part of it. Yeah. Ellie, you're part of it.

I'm part of it, yeah. You've been part of it since 1993? Two. 92, yeah. And I've come on board later, but I feel like, you know, I'm a bandwagoner a little bit. Yeah, five million. We're like a real country now. Yeah.

Well, almost. Whoa, I think you were a real country before that. Yeah, I know, but I want other countries to take us seriously. Yeah. You know, I want them to look at this and go, Yeah, I know, but I want other countries to take us seriously. Yeah. You know, I want them to look at this and go, oh, yeah, if we had to go to war with them, they'd be able to hold their own. And five million, don't even try us, baby,

because you know who's one of those five million? Richie McCaw. Nice. I'd like to know when we hit four million, how long it's taken. 11 years to go from four million to 5. Okay. Or 17 years. That's a big difference.

It was this side of 2000. It was this side of 2000. Okay, so 20 years? I don't know. Anyway, we've got a new game. It's called the Population Game. Pretty simple. Producer Ellie has a list of places,

and you and I are going to try and guess the population of those places. I feel like this is going to be quite difficult. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'll know. Okay. I think it's in me to know. I think I have that sense.

And you can play along in the car. Ellie will read it out. We'll have a little bit of time to guess. Wait, are we writing it down? No, it's going to say it. Okay. There you go. You're just going to say it apparently.

I thought we were going to play like the Instafame game. Oh, like that. Do you want to play like that? No, we're just going to say it. Okay. There you go. You're just going to say it apparently. I thought we were going to play like the Instafame game. Oh, like that. Do you want to play like that? No, we don't have time. Okay, cool. Sweet. So, your first one, how many people are in Cuba? Oh.

Go on, Clint. You felt like... I've never thought about Cuba. You knew that. Okay, Cuba has 40 million people. Right. I'm going to say Cuba. Okay, Cuba has 40 million people. I'm going to say Cuba. I'm going to say not a huge place. I'm going to say 25 million.

Okay. Brie, you've taken that out. Cuba has 11,326,616. Get in. You're closer. Damn it. All right. How many people in the city of Tokyo, Japan?

Oh, this is an interesting one. Tokyo, Japan. Famous for how densely populated it is. So just Tokyo. Yeah. Yeah. I really haven't got a stat right. Before or after the Rugby World Cup?

2020 estimate. So now. Now. Yeah. I'm going to say 15 I'm going to say, uh, 15 million people in Tokyo. Okay. Brie, what about you? Um, I'm going to say, I'm going to say you're close.

12 million. Nice. All right. The stat that I've got here, 37,393,000. Holy hell. How is that a thing? 30 million people in one city. Yeah, 37 million.

Unless my stats are incorrect. Tokyo is, I mean, a big city, but like 37 million. Japan is a country, landmass size. It's tiny. The same size as New Zealand. Yeah. Is it? And they've got 37 million in one city.

Isn't that crazy? God, no one and no one takes us seriously. Japan, 126 million in total. Yeah, sheepish. Give us one more. This is for the win. Oh, for the win. Okay. How many people are in Scotland?

Oh, Scotland. Scotland? Scotland. I didn't mean to be disparaging to you, Scotland. It's just I've got no idea. I really have. I've got a few good Scottish friends as well. Not as many as England, but possibly more than Ireland. They're from Wales. I'm going to say Scotland's got two and a half million people in it.

Okay. Yeah. One of you can bring. Because they're kind of a sub-country of the UK. I'm going to say 5 million. Nice. They've got 5.454 million. Yes!

Yeah. Nice. Well done. You've won the population game. Yeah. I feel proud. For your fairly exact knowledge of Scotland and your incredibly vague knowledge of Cuba.

I'm pretty happy with that. Awesome. If you missed the news, New Zealand has 5 million people. Exactly. Not a single more, not a single less. And 40% of them are called Gareth. Bree and Clint. What?

Bree and Clint. I don't know what word I was about to say. Says his Zavis. Bree and Clint. Zavis. On ZM, that's super lonely. Maybe I was trying to say super lonely. Zavis.

Zavis. Zavis. Zavis. What I was trying to say super lonely. Avery Snape. Snape. Snape. What are the other ones? Dumbledore. Ron. Ron. Ron.

Ron Burgundy. Oh, no. No, Weasley. What you're experiencing here is Brie recreating very early YouTube humour. Everyone should know that. I know, but it's... It was very good. Yeah, it'd be old now, though. Everyone should know that. I know, but it's... It was very good. Yeah, it'd be old now, though.

It's very old. I want to say 2004. Yeah. Maybe that's a bit too early. It's Charlie with my finger era stuff. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway.

Good times. Glad we covered that off. Yeah, it's good to have a variety of content in the show. We were meant to cover off 2000's YouTube trivia. And we can tick that box. Perfect. Now we can move on. Let's push on.

They have asked us to tick those off. I wanted to talk about this guy I read about this morning. And he is just a normal everyday guy. He's a family guy. Has a couple of kids. Has a wife, but this story talks about how thousands of women have fallen in love with him over the past 10 years. Is he a cheater?

He's not a cheater. So he's, okay. Is he? He's also had to break thousands of women's hearts whilst being married. Well, he must be fairly well known then. Is it? Oh, so he's not a cheater.

He's not a cheater. He's a family man. He's a family guy. And women love him. Yes, obsessed. Jordan Watson, how to dad. No, we do love him here at the show. No, it's not him.

I'll tell you what it is. So this guy talks about how he's had to break thousands of women's hearts over the last 10 years because since 2007-ish, someone, he doesn't know who, has been taking his photos, his videos and has created profiles where they catfish women all around the world. Oh, my God, he's catfish bait. Literally. Yeah.

And it's not just happened to him once or twice. This has happened to him thousands of times. Right. What is it about him that makes him so catfishable? Well, I tried to look in. I mean, to me, he looks like an everyday, you know, late 40s type of Joe Blow. Dead material.

Yeah, good-looking dad. I mean, doesn't have six-pack or anything,, but you know, he's just a normal guy. Just a normal kind of dude. And he doesn't understand why this has been happening to him for so long. Maybe that there is the exact reason. Because he's so normal looking. Because no one's going to believe a catfish if you've got the body of Sonny Bill Williams in the face of, well, Sonny Bill Williams, you know? And I mean that's where people go wrong with, you know, catfishing people.

Under promise. Yeah, but let me tell you how it all started. So people, he's from Canada and it all started back in 2007 when a woman he didn't know wrote on his Facebook page and accused him of being a liar, that they were having a relationship and that he found, and then she found out he has a wife and all this kind of stuff.

Because obviously she's come across this real guy's profile. Yeah. And the catfish person has told, you know. Yeah. God, you'd message the wife and you'd go, did you know that your husband has been talking to me in an online dating service? Yeah.

And then what would the wife think? She'd probably – Well, she'd look at the accounts and go, that is him. Yeah. And then, oh, God, that could be horrific. Anyway, him and his wife, because he talked to his wife about it because obviously they've got a good relationship. Yeah.

They thought it was a big prank. And so they just played it off like it was a big prank. And then months later it's happened over and over and over again right and now what he does is he's got an actual document because this has happened so many times where he puts down all this information um and essentially he's created like a bunch of questions for them to answer so he's trying to get more information and slowly build like a picture oh he gives it to the person who's being cat get more information and slowly build like a picture. Oh, he gives it to the person who's being catfished.

Yes. And says, can you ask this of the person who's catfishing you with my pictures? No, no, no, no, no. So he asks them all these questions. So he's gathering more and more information. Like, what did they say about this? What did they say about that? Yeah, yeah.

All right. To see if it's like the same people. But he hasn't cracked the code. No, he hasn't cracked the code yet. You'd just take yourself off social media, wouldn't you? You wouldn't be uploading selfies. You'd be like, I'm not going to give them a new picture. You'd be so terrified.

There's even been one instance where they've scammed one woman out of heaps of money. Yeah, that's terrifying. Which is terrifying. You had a fake profile set up of you recently, remember? Yeah. Someone set up a fake Brie Facebook page. Yeah, it wasn't to catfish anyone.

It was to get money out of people that follow me and I was ropeable about it because, I mean, what kind of lowlifes are doing this, you know? Yeah. Like, go get a job. No, honestly. I've got a job. It's impersonating Brie Thomas.

I'm like, well, you've done an all right job, I guess. But, yeah, so I've never had someone use my pictures to catfish anyone. No, me neither. You've never had that happen? No, and I hope I don't. Me too. Because all my social media is public and that too, like a lot of people's is these days.

Yeah. That's terrifying to me that that could happen and it could happen so easily. That's why some people don't have their pages set to public. They go, I'm not giving them the information. Yeah, they get stuffed. Yeah. But this is what I want to know though, Clint.

I want to know from people listening. Oh 800 dials at M. I want to know, have your pictures and your profile been used to catfish someone? Yeah. Did you find the catfish who was using your pictures and stuff? Did it break up your relationship? Yeah. Or did it cause your relationship a whole bunch of problems?

Did you end up with the person who was using your stuff to catfish? Mate, that's a long shot. 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Brianne Clint. A guy over in Canada has spoken out about the last 14 years of his life, how his pictures and his identity has been used to catfish thousands of women around the world. Yeah.

He's had to let down heaps of women because eventually they find the real him and the women ask him are you the person I've fallen in love with and he has to break it to them that it's a catfish. That would be so unfortunate if you fell in love with someone that you'd never met and then it wasn't even them. He said it's really taxing

because even though it's not him doing it he takes on a lot of the guilt. He has to do the breakup. Yeah. Even though he's not in the relationship. Yeah, right a lot of the guilt. He has to do the breakup. Yeah. Yeah, even though he's not in the relationship. Yeah, right. So we're asking, have your pictures been used to catfish someone before? Kate's called through. Hey, Kate.

Hi, Kate. Hello. How are you doing? Good. How are you? I'm all right. What's the story? What happened?

Was it your pictures? Yeah. Yeah. So it was back when I was in my peak emo phase and had the whole scene here thing going on. Yeah, back in the 2000s it was big. Yep, yep, 2006. And I had boys, so I was year nine. Year 10 boys used my photo on RuneScape to try and get nudes off other girls online.

Oh. That's horrible. Boys within your school? Yeah, yeah And I only found out because I started dating one of their friends And then it all sort of And what happened in the end? Did you confront them? Oh yeah, of course I did

And I had massive goes at them And they were like, stop being so emo Yeah, yeah, pretty much And I was like, no, I'm going to go sulk And then you skated away to Avril Lavigne's Skater Boys. Oh, well, we're glad you caught them, Kate. Thank you. I love when they get caught.

Let's talk to Naomi. Hi, Naomi. Hi. Hiya. Was it your pictures that got stolen? Yeah, it was actually my pictures and my name. Okay, what happened? So about five years ago when I was in school,

I kept on getting messages from these guys saying that I play with their feelings and that I'm a liar. And I had a boyfriend at a time. I'm still with him, actually. And he was just thinking, what? Why are you cheating on me? And all this crazy stuff. And I'm like, what? No, it's not me.

They've actually spelt my name wrong. And, yeah, I never ended up finding out, it's not me. They've actually spelt my name wrong, and, yeah. I never ended up finding out who it was. Come on, Catfish 101. Get the name spelling right. Yeah, right? Yeah. That's the easiest bit.

Okay, so you never found out who was doing it, but it stopped? No. I'd love to know who it was, though. It'd be so funny to confront them now. Did you have any suspicions, like people that may have had a vendetta out against you? Oh, no, not at the time, but them now. Did you have any suspicions like people that may have had a vendetta out against you? Oh, no, not at the time, but maybe now. So who has people

with a vendetta? Who are you? Who's got a vendetta against you? Some people do. Erin, hello. Hi, Erin. Hi. Tell us what happened to you. So it wasn't photos that were taken of me and used. It was photos of my daughter. Oh, no.

And they were used as, there was basically a guy using photos of her saying that she was his child. What? Yeah, pretty much. And doing that to what? Approach other women and go, hey, I'm a dad and a super cute daughter. Is that what it was? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yuck.

That makes me feel so gross. That's creepy. Yeah. Did you catch him? Did you catch the guy? Yeah, so I knew who it was. And it actually turned out that I got contacted. Things didn't add up for me with him.

So I ended up just, I didn't actually find out while I was still talking to him. Yeah. But then a girl contacted me asking if he was, if my daughter was. His. Yeah, his child. Did the police get involved with something like that? Is that something you can go to the cops with? Yeah, so we, it ended up being a big group of us.

There was about 12 of us in the end because we'd done it so many times. Yeah. And we all had to make police reports and reported it all to Instagram, but Instagram said they couldn't do anything about it because we... There's so much grey area around this stuff, isn't there? Right.

Okay, well, glad you got it sorted. That's terrifying. And Nicola's here as well. Hey, Nicola. Hi, Nicola. Hi. How are you? Was it you that got your photo stolen?

Yes, it was. What happened? So I randomly got a Facebook request from this person, declined it. Next thing I got an Instagram message from exactly the same person being like, hey, I think someone's using your photos. And long story short, we kind of like talked back and forth and it ended up being my older sister that was adopted out at birth.

Whoa. Whoa. Yeah. So, okay, your older sister was adopted out at birth. Did you know that you had an older sister adopted out at birth? Yeah, I had known about her since I was little

but we only just started getting in contact. Yeah. And then she decided to turn around and steal your pictures and catfish other people pretending to be you? Yes, exactly. I was so confused. I thought she just looked a lot like you and someone thought that she was using your photos,

but she was using your stuff. She must have been jealous of your life, right? She must have gone, you got everything that I wanted, I got adopted out, so I'm going to take it? Well, you can only hope so to make the situation, you know, be a bit better in my light, but it was an interesting one. How did it end? Yeah, do you have a relationship with her now?

Um, no, not really. So I kind of, like, she, I hit her up about it. Um, she's like, no, he's crazy, like, he's been stalking me, nothing's true. So I'm like, well, it doesn't really add up. And I was like, look, I don't care. Just tell me the truth.

I'm not angry. Like, I just want to know the truth. And she just stopped talking to me, and we haven't spoken since. Full on. Wow. Yeah. Thanks for sharing, Nicola.

Nicola, that's really, really interesting. Yeah, thanks, Nicola. It's all right. See ya. God. I'm going to start wearing a face mask in my pictures, I think. Not that I think I'm worth... Hey, people will still

use that. Yeah, right. Tiger King was the main show in lockdown, right? Definitely the main show. Or just before lockdown. We should sing this for Friday Oaky. That's a great idea. Isn't it?

Ben, can we organise that? Sing the Tiger King song for Friday Oaky? Yeah, sure. That's so much fun. Cool. Thank you. You know, we should just sing it as a duet to release it. That would be even more fun.

Enjoy video. Anyway, we'll workshop that later. So there's a Tiger King. Put that on the list. A TV series coming. We found out last week that Nicolas Cage is going to play Joe Exotic. And today there's news out about who's going to play Carole Baskin. Oh, yeah. See, I'm interested in this because we, on this show,

went through all the characters and who was the best people to play them. We didn't mention this person. And it's quite obvious. I feel... Not Cameron Diaz, is it? No, not Cameron Diaz, but that's a good one too. She would be good. No, no, not Cameron Diaz.

Not Cameron Diaz, but it's a big A-lister. So the producers of the Tiger King TV series, which is on the way, starring Nicolas Cage, are in talks with Tara Reid's management to play Carole Baskin. Oh, Sharknado it. Yeah, right? Tara Reade, yeah, I could see that. She wasn't always a Sharknado level actress.

She was in American Pie first. Once upon a time she was in American Pie, yeah. Sharknado, you know, people make fun of it, but it has made a ton of money. Have you watched it? Sharknado, you know, people make fun of it, but it has made a ton of money. Have you watched it? I watched the first one and I was very intoxicated. That's fine.

That is all you need to say. You've seen the first one. The fact that there are multiple. Anyway, Tara's management have said Tara loves Tiger King and found the documentary extremely interesting. She feels she could get into the character of Carole Baskin well and she has a similar look to Carole Baskin. I don't know if you want your manager to be saying that about you,

but I guess it's okay. Carole Baskin's. You know, Carole Baskin's. She's all right. Yeah, all right. Anyway, Nicolas Cage. There you go. May be plotting the murder of Tara Reid.

Did you hear who is set to play Jeff Lowe? No. Danny DeVito. No. Yeah, it's really getting weird now. Yeah, right? Bree and Clint. Oh, my God.

What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God. What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God, no. Are you f***ing kidding me? Bree and Clint's Cliffhanger. Welcome to Cliffhanger. It's the game where you tell us three quarters of a story and then you're going to hear some possible endings to that story.

One of them is true. The other two were written by Bree or I. And if you can correctly guess the correct ending to the story, you'll win is true. The other two were written by Bree or I. And if you can correctly guess the correct ending to the story, you'll win free mobile fuel. That's right. So listen very carefully because the person who's going to be telling three quarters of their story is you, Megan. Hi, Megan. Hi.

All right, Megan, when you're ready, tell us three quarters of your story. Okay, so I grew up in Zimbabwe in Africa and I worked on a wildlife orphanage and they brought in three juvenile lions and we were short on space. So we put them into an enclosure we probably shouldn't have. And then what happened? Is it ending A, they escaped, jumped onto my brother,

puncturing his shoulders and licking his head all over? Is it ending B? We thought that all three lions were females. Turns out one of them was male and he ended up getting the other two lionesses pregnant. Whoops. Or ending 3. Because they were teenagers, they started rampantly mating. We ended up with 20 lion cubs and had no idea which is the dad of which lion.

Slutty lions. Two of the endings are the same. Yeah, quite similar. Two sexy lions, one angry lion. Which lion is the correct one? The person who's going to try and pick the cliffhanger is you, Emma. Hello. Hi, Emma.

Hello. Do you think you can pick out the winner? I hope so. All right. Which one do you think it is, out the winning? I hope so. All right. Which one do you think it is, A, B, or C? I'm going to go for B. All right, so B was we thought that all three lions were females. Turns out one of them was male,

and he ended up getting the other two lionesses pregnant. Whoops. Megan, is that the correct answer? No. Ah! No. Which one was it? A.

A. The lions attacked your brother and punctured his shoulders. Yeah. Is that terrifying to watch, Megan? Is he all right? He's fine. It wasn't being dangerous. It was just being playful.

It was just being a teenager and a bit mean. You're right, but his shoulders got punctured. Yeah, that was just because he jumped and rested on them so that he could get to his head. Can I ask, when you watched Tiger King, were you like, yep, yeah, I can get that. Yeah, I understand that. I know what's going on there. Was it like watching a home movie for you?

A hundred percent. Yeah, right. That's wild, Megan. Well, congratulations. Emma couldn't pick it, which means you scored yourself some free mobile fuel. Well done. Free in Clint. It's who, New Zealand. Stand up and congratulate yourself because we are officially a nation of 5 million people.

Which is crazy to me because you said earlier in the show that Japan, similar land size to New Zealand. Yes. And they've got a population of 127 million, give or take. Yeah, we've got a little way to go before. So we're catching up a little bit. Yeah. A little bit. Slowly but surely. In 1908, we hit one million people.

Great. And then it took 50 years to get to two million people. So why so rampant in 1908? What do you mean? Like, how did it get to 1 million so quick? Well, from zero. Yeah. Well, I don't know.

It took all of time to get to 1 million. I don't think it was that fast. Like, it took from the dawn of time to get to 1 million. Then 2 million in 1952. Three million in 1973. That's still a long time in between drinks. Four million in 2003. And then, yeah, last month, sorry, month before in March,

we hit five million New Zealanders. 17 years later. Can we figure out exactly who was the five millionth New Zealander? Because imagine that. Imagine, what would you get? Would you get a letter from Jacinda? Do they win a hamper?

Something, surely. Oh, surely they get a hamper with, you know, some different meats and some biscuits. That'd be nice. That'd be pretty nice, wouldn't it? Yeah. How about a free fuel voucher? Or maybe there's a special house

and you get to live in it until we hit six million. And then when we get to six million, that guy comes on and goes, sorry, my house now, you've got to go. I'm living here. I'm living here now. So what we want is people who either moved to New Zealand in March or were born in March to call 0800 DALS at M.

If you were born in March, probably need someone to call for you, that's fine. But it's 50-50 on this because our population increase that got us to the 5 million, 50% birth, 50% immigration. Let's see who we've got. Logan. Hello, Logan. Hello. Now, are you potentially our 5 million? Were you born in March? Not me, myself. We did bring a new life into the world in March, yeah.

Oh, congratulations. Oh, that's exciting, Logan. Okay, what sort of life did you bring into the world? A boy. A little boy. A little boy baby, yes. Okay, and what's his name? His name is Bowden.

Bowden. After Bowden Barrett? You've got that one. You've got that one. Yes, good, good. These are important questions we need to ask to determine whether you have the 5 millionth New Zealander And can I say, naming your baby

after world champion All Black Bowden Barrett That's it, very, very likely It's quite a compelling case Any criteria you need brief out of Logan before we I'm just trying to think Bowden, I know he's very young but who in the rugby

does he support? Oh, Canterbury for sure Right, alright, interesting Clint doesn't like that Well no, it's just Bowdoin Barrett plays for the Blues so he's conflicted already, that's fine Okay Logan, we're going to get you to hold there because Georgia is here as well Georgia, hi

Hi Georgia Now were you born in March? No, my twin sister gave birth to my nephew on the 23rd. Oh, that's so exciting. Congratulations. He's adorable. What's his name? Yeah.

Sorry? What's his name? Charlie. Charlie. Oh, cute. I love that name. And he's a lockdown baby. Okay, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Oh, cute. I love that name. And he's a lockdown baby. Okay, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.

Has he shown any signs of being the five millionth New Zealander? Like, does he walk around? He's perfect, so he'd have to be, yeah. He's perfect, right. Does Charlie have a baby mullet? He actually does. Oh, that's pretty compelling. What part of the country does Charlie live in?

Rangiro, just out of Christchurch. Right. That's pretty compelling. What part of the country does Charlie live in? Rangiro, just out of Christchurch. Right. That's pretty good. Either way, at the moment, the five millionth New Zealander is coming from Canterbury. Yep. Jasmine's here. Hi, Jasmine. Hi, Jazz.

Hi. Are you born in March? No, I had my first baby on the 11th of March. Oh, congrats, Jazz. Okay, Jazz, what's the name of this baby? Sophia. Sophia. Sophia, cute.

Could New Zealand's five millionth baby be a female? Are we ready for that? I don't know. I don't know if the world's ready for that. I think we're very ready. I don't know. I'm not sure. I mean, Jacinda's doing all right, so I feel like the five millionth person could be.

She is, yeah. Do men need a chance for once? Is it our time to shine? I don't know. Jasmine, so you've got baby Sophia and any sort of distinguishing characteristics. What we're looking for here, Jasmine, is something to really put Sophia over the top.

Like I want you to sell her to us as the five millionth New Zealander. She has a power stare. Oh. You know, like she just looks at you and just takes your whole soul with you. Yeah, right. And that's powerful.

And that's not gas? I've got a baby too and some of those looks were gas. Definitely not gas, no. Okay, all right. I'm going to pop you. And what part of the country? Hamilton.

Oh, are we ready for... Very, very Kiwi. Are we ready for New Zealand Kiwi Are we ready for New Zealand's Five millionth person To be from Hamilton I'd love that That's an important question too

I think that's what This country needs Has Sophia been To the Outback yet No she hasn't That's a good thing That's a good thing She won't have had

Her immunisations yet So that's a really good thing I was so confused then I was like wait New Zealand has Outback The bar Yeah and then I realised You're talking about the bar. Who do we think it is?

I've got to be honest with you. I'm very keen to give it to Bowdoin the baby. I'm very keen to give it to the baby mullet. To the baby mullet. But then, I mean, Sophia. And then I just love it. I never thought I'd have to choose between babies before and I don't know if I can do it.

Yeah, why did you put us in this situation? Well, I was hoping that someone was going to call through and be like, I've just moved here and I love this country and I want to be a five million. I wanted that to happen. And you know what else? I feel like baby Sophia's in the running because it's about time Hamilton had a win.

You know what? Just, yeah, you know what? It's about time they got a bit of credit. You know what? I love Hamilton. You know what? You know what? You're right. Yeah. You're right. It's go to Chiefs a bit of credit. You know what? I love Hamilton. You know what? You know what? You're right.

Yeah. You're right. It's go to Chiefs country. Jasmine, congratulations. Yes, Jasmine. You are the proud owner of the five millionth New Zealander. We're so damn proud of you. Oh, that's amazing.

We'll have a plaque sent out and your $50 fuel voucher. Oh, thank you so much. You're very welcome. Thanks, Jazz. Bree and Clint. Kept it till the last minute. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. Thanks, Jazz. Kept it till the last minute. But over the weekend, I moved in with my partner. Yes, big news, everyone. Yes, applaud me.

Thank you so much. Yeah, nice. Well done. So good at commitment. Excellent. Yeah. Good to get that praise. And it wasn't a big deal at all.

You didn't break out in a stress rack. Nah. You don't have hives today. To be honest. It's been so easy. I think that part of my life at the moment was the actual solid part. I actually really quite have liked moving in and sorting our stuff out together. It's a nice feeling.

Yeah, it's really nice and just moving on to that next step it feels really like right and really nice anyway also because she gave you two thirds of the wardrobe that was also nice of her yes it could have been tougher if you didn't have someone who was so accommodating for all

of your stuff it would have been a harder process maybe I should buy her a gift on the way home. Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys about the first night that I spent in the flat because it was quite an unusual one. Okay. So it's a flatting set up. So, yeah, her and her brother own the house together.

Yeah. And then her brother's girlfriend. Good work, you. Yeah, right. I'm still paying rent there. You're on the property ladder now. It's not free. Yeah, I know.

Anyway, so her brother has his girlfriend, Claudia. She lives there. She's lovely. And then her best friend, Ben, also lives in the flat. He's really lovely. Third wheel. Okay, leave Ben alone. He's actually-

Fifth wheel. He's actually not. He actually fits in very well. The cat is more the third wheel. Anyway, so it was the first night in the flat. We'd done all that. We were absolutely exhausted. We'd cleaned for five hours at the old place.

We'd moved everything. Anyway, those three flatmates, so the brother, the girlfriend, and the friend, they all went over to their friend's house for some drinks. We said, look, we're going to hang back, and we're probably just going to watch RuPaul's Drag Race and go to bed christen the place christen no no with rupaul's drag race yes yeah right anyway so we went to bed early it was probably like 10 30 11 o'clock and we'd been sleeping like so essentially i need to tell you this part so So my girlfriend and I, we moved into her brother

and his girlfriend's old room. So they had the really big room but they want to pay less rent. So they moved out of that room into a smaller room and we've taken their older room. Good move. Right? Because we needed the space. Yeah.

Because if you've seen my clothes, oh, my God. Yeah. Anyway, so we went to bed. We were sleeping and all I remember was being woken up by the sound of someone taking their clothes off. Oh, no, I know what's happened. Anyway, I've woken up. It's pitch black in the room.

Yeah. And all I see is a man standing at the side of the bed. And this is all I see, just a man just taking his shirt off. And he's throwing it. And then I've just seen this guy. I could kind of make it out that he was taking his pants off. You hear the belt jingle. I hear the belt jingle and then he's unzipping and I'm hearing all this.

And I was like panicking. But a part of me knew who it was so I wasn't scared but I was like, babe, babe, and I was trying to wake up my girlfriend. Babe, Eddie's in the room. Yeah, he's gone into the wrong room. Her brother had walked down the hall to his old room. Because he's steamed, right? Because he's steamed.

He's taken all of his clothes off, all of them. So this is the part which got real awkward for me. So my partner, she sleeps pretty much naked. Yep. He is now also naked. He's also her brother. He's also her brother and he's standing on her side of the bed and he's putting his hand under the covers trying to get into the bed.

Anyway, I'm not going to go into detail. I think we got it just at the right point where he's realised and he's gone, shit. Shit. Sorry, guys. And then stumbled down the hall naked to his new room. And left his clothes in your room. And left his clothes and everything. Yeah

right. So it was a really nice welcome. You know what they say a welcome with nudity is always a good one. It's exactly what they say. Well welcome to the flat. Good to be here. Next time, you just give it a whack right on the end.

Plus, like, my daughter will get to hear what it actually is. Q, what's your daughter's name? Brittany. Brittany. Shout out to Brittany. Okay, Hayden, what's your date of birth? 12th of the 1st, 1983. All right, Hayden, you were 16 in 1999 on the 12th of January.

I was just saying, Producer Ellie and producer Ben, I'm pretty sure you guys watched The Circle, didn't you?

Do you remember that Fatboy Slim's son was on The Circle? What was that? Sorry? I watched the Netflix one. I don't watch the UK one. Oh, he was on the UK one. Oh, yeah. You did tell me to watch that and I just haven't got around to it. Did he win? Oh, spoiler.

He definitely got to the end. I can't remember if he won. But yeah, he was 18 and his fat boy's slim son. And so the twist was he didn't tell anyone in the circle who he was. Yeah, right. To them, he just wanted to appear like a normal 18-year-old guy and not fat boy's slim son. Yeah, right.

Yeah, it was kind of cool actually. Yeah, that is cool. Wood telling someone that you were Fatboy Slim's son. He reckons. Would that impress you? Yeah. I'd be impressed. Fatboy Slim was a pretty bloody big deal.

Yeah. Still is. He still tours and travels and. Yeah, yeah. But as a line, like as a pickup line, if a guy came over to you and was like, hey, I'm Fatboy Slim's son. Oh, not if someone was trying to pick me up. Yeah.

Isn't that the idea of the circle? No. No, no, no. They're not there to date. Oh, not if someone's trying to pick me up. Yeah, isn't that the idea of the circle? No, no, no, no. They're not there to date. But a lot of them take that as an angle. Yeah, some of them might use that to their advantage. I'm getting it confused with lovers blind. Yep. I'm getting very confused.

Okay, boomer. Excuse me. Oh, not laughing, no. I mean, you're close to the... That is an insult to my generation. Excuse me. Oh, not laughing, no. That is an insult to my generation. From the can our Prime Minister get any more relatable files comes two stories from the weekend. Of course, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who did an Instagram post about having nappy cream on her blazer

on her way to Cabinet. I really want her to do a post about being annoyed for Clark to leave the toilet seat up. Yeah, that's coming. I feel like, you know, that's like peak level. That's the 2020 election campaign. Good. Okay, sweet.

She's like, no more seats left up. Vote Labour 2020. I would be voting them straight in. Yeah, yeah. So over the weekend, two things happened. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern got bounced from a cafe in Wellington. Which is so crazy. Like it's something to do.

She went to Olive Cafe on Cuba Street, wonderful cafe. They do a fantastic pot of tea. I've actually been there. And Clark hadn't booked a table and they were full. So they said to the Prime Minister of New Zealand, no, sorry, you can't come in. We're all full. We're all full. That they said to the Prime Minister of New Zealand, no, sorry, you can't come in. We're all full. We're all full.

That's crazy. Which I understand. You've got to do it because of coronavirus. But I feel... It's also the Prime Minister. Couldn't you make some room in the back somewhere? Well, they obviously couldn't. You can't chuck her out the back.

I would like to think if I was there, I would have offered her my table. I would have said, thank you for everything you're doing. Please have my table. And then leave and then also forget to pay my bill and hope that the Prime Minister picks up the bill. Anyway, she got bounced from her cafe. The other

thing that she's done over the weekend is she's allowed her partner DJ Clark Gayford to dye her hair. As I said, could she get any more relatable? This tweet from Clark helped dye partner's hair and gave daughter a haircut with scissors I bought from supermarket for $6.

Remarkably, both parties still talking to me. He doesn't name Jacinda in there, but I mean, it's partner. It's assumed, right? He's dyed her hair. Well, unless he's got another one. Must be her, right? It's dyed her hair. Well, unless he's got another one. Must be her, right? Must be her. Must be her. So she's gone, oh, I can't get to a hairdresser either because she's the Prime Minister.

And we're at level two. Are they not going to chop her in a hairdresser for her or something? They get a hairdresser in, surely. Surely there's a parliamentary hairdresser. Or maybe there's not. Maybe we've got no idea how government works. Anyway, Clark's had a go at it. He's grabbed some, what is it? What's the box stuff that you can get?

What's it called? Not Just For Men. Just For Men. Let's hope not. He might have got Just For Men. No, he didn't. He might have. What's the box stuff?

The main box stuff you can get. It must have a name. I don't know. There's heaps of them. Weller. Isn't it called Weller? That's like one of the brands. Yeah, right.

Yeah, but there's tons of them. Or he's put those stupid gloves on. Yep. And then you squirt it out of the bottle. Yeah, right. Yeah, but there's tons of them. Oh, he's running. He's put those stupid gloves on. Yep. And then you squirt it out of the bottle. Yeah, he's opened the window in the bathroom so the fumes can get out. And she's gone, oh, burns a bit. He's like, it's time to come off. And then he's rinsed it out.

And then she's gone on to front the nation with that. And how did it look? I'm not going to pass judgment on a woman's appearance, Bree. I'm not that stupid. No, I'm saying how did Clark's work stack up? Oh, I actually haven't seen it. Oh. So I don't know.

I'd love to see it. If you do see it and you would like to ask Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern about her new do, can I offer you an example of how not to ask? Okay. Okay, this is from AM show host Ryan Bridge with the Prime Minister this morning. Why are you dyeing it anyway? Is it going grey or something? Why didn't you dye your hair for?

Never, never, never. That's not a polite question to ask. I'd say anyone. I was about to say lady, but anyone, actually. Let's be open about that. So, yeah, it's just a little touch-up, right? Looks good. No reason.

Looks good, Prime Minister. I'd love to just, like, get that awkward laugh. Did you guys hear the real awkward laugh from him in the middle when he realised he'd really stuffed up? He got a telling off from the Principal of New Zealand. Yeah, and he deserved it. It is rude. Why don't you hear?

You're going grey. You're going grey. You're going grey out there. Here, let me pluck one out, Prime Minister. I'll pluck one of your greys out. You old woman, eh? You're over grey. You're going grey out there. Here, let me pluck one out, Prime Minister. I'll pluck one of your greys out. You old woman, eh? You're over the hill. You know what's crazy is we were just talking about

could Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern get any more relatable. Yeah. She's just put up a post. She's like been working at the Parliament for 12 hours, can't wait to get home and take my bra off. She's very good. She just does it time and time again. Brie and Clint. You remember last

week when we were talking about, you know, obviously there's these rumours swirling about Ellen DeGeneres at the moment. Yeah, that she's not a very nice person. Yeah, and there's a lot of people, you know, old employees, ex-employees, I should say, coming out of the woodwork and just people who have had bad interactions with her,

you know, saying these stories. Yeah. And we had one of them on the show. Yeah, a woman who worked in a vegan restaurant and said Ellen tried to get her fired because she had chipped nail polish. Pretty much. And I mean, look, you and I are pretty much like, we don't know what to believe.

I mean, some could be true. It's a good story. It is a good story. If it's true, it's a good story. It's interesting, yeah. There's now stories that have come out about different famous people she has banned from her show over the years. Oh, right.

It's a pretty big deal to go on the Ellen DeGeneres show. It's huge. They said it's one of the biggest PR publicity kind of junkets you can do is go on that show. Exactly right. Whether you're launching a product or a movie or a relationship, going on Ellen guarantees you're going to get seen by half of America kind of thing. If you're on Ellen, you've made it. Yeah.

Anyway, these are some of the stories over the years about people who have been banned from the show. Who's not allowed on the Ellen show? So the first person that's on this list is Caitlyn Jenner. Really? Yeah. So I don't know if you know this about Caitlyn Jenner, but she apparently Ellen DeGeneres banned her back in 2017

after she released her book called the secrets of my life in which she claimed ellen degeneres alienated her from the lgbtq community after appearing on her show two years prior yeah do you remember this no anyway um pretty much uh caitlin jenner had said in 2017 that she didn't really accept gay marriage. She didn't understand it. She said this as Caitlyn? Yes. This wasn't Bruce Jenner who said this? No, this was Caitlyn on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

But she was kind of like, you know, that's my beliefs, you know, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, in the book she goes on later to say that she does now accept it. Yeah, right. But anyway, after pretty much uh caitlin has written about her in her book ellen was like you're not coming on my show no more see ya you're not coming on my show i think a lot of people were like that with caitlin jenner after those statements right they're like okay you're one of us and you're not an ally well but you know what

else uh caitlin jenner wrote about christian. She wrote about all of her kids, like the kids. She literally wrote a lot of crap about a lot of people. Yeah, right. Okay, Caitlyn Jenner's banned from Ellen. She's banned. Who else is banned? This one I found quite interesting. So he was banned, but then he's since appeared on the show,

but he was banned for a period of time. Okay. Actor Vince Vaughn. Oh, I haven't thought about Vince Vaughn for a long time. He had a really good run of movies for a while. He was huge for a bit. He was in every Will Ferrell movie for a while. Remember, he also dated Jennifer Aniston for a while.

Yes. And everyone was like, how? That was after the movie The Breakup. How did you? Why is she? What's the? He's a funny guy. He's got good stuff going for him.

I mean, Jennifer Aniston is very hot. Right, why was he banned from Ellen? So apparently after appearing on her show while he was promoting the movie The Dilemma, essentially because the trailer showed Vaughn's character saying, so it's Vince Vaughn's character saying so it's vaughn vince vaughn's character yeah saying electric cars are gay i mean not homosexual but my parents are chaperoning the dance gay yeah right and that trailer i guess ellen didn't like it very much wow okay yeah anyway so apparently but he's allowed back on now so since then they've

like you know squashed the beef and ellen was like yeah that was silly okay he obviously didn't so so far both people who we know are banned or have been banned in the past are for um lgbtq reasons yeah yeah but i guess ellen that's what she's all about she has to be pretty strong on that it's fine totally fine uh the last person that i want to all about. She has to be pretty strong on that stuff. Yeah, it's fine. Totally fine. The last person that I want to talk about that has been banned from the Ellen DeGeneres show, and I'm not shocked by this one. She's quite controversial. Very controversial comedian.

Yeah. You want to take a guess? Amy Schumer. No, Ellen loves Amy Schumer. it's uh it's actually kathy griffin oh which she is um she's a comic that kind of takes the piss out of a lot of people yeah that's what that's her shtick yeah you know that's what she does uh anyway apparently they've had this long, long feud together. Yeah. Where they throw shade at each other. And essentially there was one time where Ellen DeGeneres opened her show with a monologue.

You know how she does that? Yeah. And essentially it was about how mean Kathy Griffin was. Right. Oh, right. Okay. Anyway, then Kathy Griffin has put this big thing in her stand up and then it literally just goes back and forth and they hate each other.

So Ellen's banned her from the show. Interesting. Right, well, there's always the Kelly Clarkson show, I guess. ZM's Free and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards. Easy. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Fletchborn and Megan a listen too?
