Hello everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast. Brie's sucking on a blue lollipop,
which I know you've fought your urges to eat the whole show.
I've done pretty well.
Because we get videoed while we're doing the show and you're worried about blue mouth.
It's been in for 45 seconds. You've got blue teeth and mouth.
You look like you went down on a Smurf.
I hope it's Papa. Right, okay. Papa Smurf. I hope it's Papa.
Right, okay.
Papa Smurf.
I thought you would have been, who's the one girl Smurf?
There's only one, which is the weirdest thing about the Smurfs.
There's only one woman in the whole village.
Is there only one?
She's like the queen bee in the beehive.
Yeah, unless my Smurf knowledge is not correct.
There's a bit coming up in the show today where we talk about clothes,
and we won't give it away,
but we talk about re-wearing clothes
that have already been worn.
Yeah.
A bit that doesn't make it to air
is a conversation that we had
where we've established a new word.
It's called jean whiff.
Yeah.
It's the, how would you describe jean whiff?
Jean whiff is the particular smell
or whiff that comes from a pair of jeans
when you know you've gone too far without washing them.
And it's specific to jeans.
Yeah, jeans get the smell more than anything else.
They're the only thing that get the smell.
It must be the denim or something.
And we agree that you most likely get gene whiff when the jeans are already on.
And I think the jeans have to warm up a little bit for the whiff to escape.
And by that stage, quite often you've left the house and you're like,
oh, these genes have got the whiff.
And I always wonder when I get gene whiff, can other people smell this?
I will tell you most of the time, yes.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay, here's a deeply personal question.
And I'd actually like both of you guys in on this
And I can take
Oh I don't know if we
I can take the answer
I feel like I know what you're about to ask
And I don't think we can answer this
Have you guys ever smelt my gene whiff before?
Yours?
Yeah
Specifically?
Yeah
No not yet
No good
I haven't
No good
Brie?
Have I given you Gene Whiff?
I think there may have been one time when we were away.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah?
Right.
Like away, like...
I'm mortified.
But I don't think it was bad.
I think it was like very...
I'm devastated.
Are you sure it wasn't just a road smell?
Might have been.
Yeah, like a suitcase.
But I feel like it was a very subtle...
I take it back.
I can't take it.
I don't want to know.
I take it back.
So that's gene whiff.
Gene whiff.
If you know what we're talking about, we'd love to hear from you.
People who say put your genes in the freezer, nah.
What?
I reckon that adds to the gene whiff.
They say don't wash your genes.
Put them in the freezer to kill the bacteria.
It adds to it.
The yuck thing is any whiff you get is bacteria yeah um and then we also talked about the feel of dirty jeans they feel like kind of
damp yeah and it's only jeans that you get the feeling with like damp but not but it's like they're
not damp but then they must be but you put them on you go oh these need a wash like i've got i've
got the damp feeling right now.
How long have you had your jeans on?
How many days?
To be honest, this is, I think, oh, we're about three weeks. Have you got the whiff?
You don't smell her, Odin.
No, I don't have the whiff yet.
You'd know if you had the whiff.
I know.
I know straight away when I put my jeans on.
Yeah.
Do you?
Yeah.
Oh, no, like I said, it takes a minute for it to warm up.
And by then I'm usually in the car.
Oh no.
I've got to start getting dressed earlier in the day.
I was going to say, you really do.
Do a couple of laps of the house.
Because how devastated are you when you realise in the car,
you're like, oh no, my jeans have got the whiff.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
And I've always banked on the fact that no one else can smell the whiff.
I think it depends
how bad it is. Like if it's
real bad, then
yeah, people can smell.
Oh yeah? If someone stinks, they stink.
I'm talking about a mild whiff
by the way. Anyone who's disgusted by
this intro and thinks I'm walking around
with ball stench, that's not what it is.
It's a very... It's an undertone. Yeah, I agree. Plus I walking around with ball stench. That's not what it is. It's a very...
It's an undertone.
Plus I've never had ball stench.
Take that back. That's disgusting.
Have you ever had swamp ass?
It's where your butt crack gets real sweaty.
I suffer a lot from
swamp ass. I just sweat a lot around
my butt crack. That's right, you and I do. Swamp ass. I love it. Yeah from swamp ass I just sweat a lot around my butt crack That's right you and I do
Swamp ass I love it
Yeah swamp ass
That's disgusting
That's a thing
Do you think that's why people used to wear talcum powder
Absolutely
To avoid swamp ass
When did we stop wearing talcum powder
I don't know
Because as a kid I always had talcum powder Not to don't know. Because as a kid, I always had talcum powder.
Not to bring down the mood, but I think people stopped using it
when all those bad studies came out about it.
Oh, that's right.
It was like carcinogenic or something?
Yeah, and there was chemicals in it that weren't good for people.
Oh, buzzy G.
But there must be an organic talcum powder that you can wear.
Yeah, you can use – there's like a cooking thing you can use.
Flour.
Yeah.
Might be.
Self-raising, I think, especially if, you know, you're in the mood.
Not yeast, though.
Oh, yeah.
Don't sprinkle yeast down there.
Don't use yeast.
No.
That'll definitely give you the whiff.
Yeah.
This conversation is so off.
But if you, I mean, if you've taken to making sourdough in lockdown
You could be running a permanent starter
You know what I mean?
Just churn out the starters and sell them to people
Just slice a bit off
This is disgusting
This is probably the grossest podcast intro we've ever done
And that's saying something too.
Alright, well let's give the room a spritz of Britney Spears fantasy perfume. Give me a
crotch of spritz. Well, give yours
because you've got the damp feeling.
And then we'll GTFO.
Enjoy the podcast
everybody. Bye. Oh, it's intimate
edition Britney Spears fantasy, by the way.
The white bottle.
Enjoy.
ZM Brantclin,
that's JP Sachs
and Julia Michaels.
It's called
If The World Was Ending.
We're back.
Couple of technical difficulties
to start the show.
Sorry.
But we've fixed it.
There,
there was a slight explosion.
Yeah,
the computer was,
not literal,
wasn't, yeah, was... Not literal.
Yeah, it wasn't something.
I just folded up a piece of paper and stuck it under one corner.
And you know how we fixed it?
We literally turned it off and turned it back on.
Yeah, that's not a joke.
That fixed the whole radio station. We had about four of the ZM engineering team run into the studio
and everyone's losing their plot.
And we went,
should we just switch it off and then switch it back on?
Did you blow on it?
Did you blow on it and tap it a little bit?
I got producer Ben to blow in the CD drive.
And boom.
Yeah, and we're good.
That's all it needed.
Yeah.
Anyway, did you?
Ellie took the cassettes out and stuck a pencil in them and just rewound it, which was helpful as well.
I used to love to tap a VHS.
Yeah, give it a whack.
Yeah, we fixed it in.
So we're heroes, but don't you worry about that.
It doesn't affect you at all.
I wanted to ask you about, have you seen this American couple
that have gotten engaged over Zoom?
I saw this.
Yeah, so I wanted to look into it a bit more because I was like,
so did they just randomly meet on a Zoom call?
Maybe, you know, it was a team Zoom meeting.
Just when you think 2020 has already gone too far, you then hear about people getting
engaged on Zoom.
I think they might be the first ones.
Yeah.
And I looked into it.
Surely they're the first ones because did you know what Zoom was before this whole thing
happened?
I still don't know really what it is.
Yeah.
But then somehow the first week of lockdown, everyone was like, I'll Zoom you.
Or a house party.
As if it was a thing.
Yeah, I know.
I've never, anyway.
Yeah, stop trying to make Zoom a thing.
It's definitely a thing now.
Definitely no Skype.
Remember Skype?
So how do you get engaged over Zoom?
So it was a girl named Katia Emery
and she was bored in lockdown like the rest of us
and she decided she was going to take matters into her own hands,
and she goes, okay, what can I do?
She's 28.
She's an entrepreneur, and she goes,
maybe I'll make my own virtual reality TV show.
Not virtual reality.
Virtual reality?
Reality.
Reality.
Well, she called it a virtual dating show because it was all across Zoom.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I don't know how she found the guys,
but it was 12 guys where they pretty much would go on dates
and they would vie for her attention.
All the same stuff you see on The Bachelorette.
Yeah.
And anyway, so she dated them all for three hours.
And then after they played games, they flirted.
She like eliminated people.
Eventually she chose.
The guy with the best internet connection.
Yeah, pretty much.
She picked a guy named Renark.
And she's going to marry him.
Well.
She's engaged to marry a guy.
I think it's all a bit of a ruse.
Right.
Have they met in person yet?
No, they've never met.
But they have been going on phone dates.
Has she seen the lower half of him?
And I don't mean anything rude by that.
It sounded rude to me.
No, but in Zoom,
you don't know if someone's got pants on or not.
Well, true.
But I mean, you shouldn't be picking someone because of the pants.
No, but I want to know.
What type of pants are you wearing?
I want to see.
You can tell a lot by someone's underwear though.
Yeah, and their shoes. I want to see both halves of you a lot by someone's underwear though. Yeah, and their shoes.
I want to see both halves of you before I marry you.
I don't think that's an unreasonable request.
No, they haven't met each other yet,
but they have been going on other dates and stuff.
Are they going to have a Zoom wedding?
They might as well, if they've done everything else by that,
do a Zoom wedding.
They probably should meet each other first, don't you reckon?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Anyway, it made me think, because obviously this is all a bit of fun,
in my opinion.
Right.
I don't know if it's super serious after three hours.
I mean, it could be.
I wanted to know from people listening to the show, though,
has this happened to you?
We're not talking engagements or maybe you have,
but have you had a relationship that started online
and you've carried through with that relationship
where you've never met the person
but you're in a full-on blown relationship?
Yeah.
Did you guys become official before you ever-
Met each other.
In person?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd be interested to know if there's anyone out there like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll wait 100 dials at him or text to 9696.
Did you get an internet partner? Yeah. Yeah. And maybe yous at him or text to 9696. Did you get an internet partner?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And maybe you did get engaged before you actually met.
I don't know if we'll get that.
But yeah, did you do that?
We'll take your calls and your texts right now.
Guys, it's 2020 and we've had our first Zoom engagement,
which means two people met each other on Zoom and they got engaged.
Is it romantic or is it sad?
Maybe it's romantic because they didn't even need to meet each other
with all the physical stuff to know that they were for each other.
That sounds like a nightmare to me.
It just sounds like a big mistake.
What are you, a try-before-you-buy type of guy?
In every sense of the word.
You know.
You want to get your full money's worth.
It's the rest of your life, mate. It's honestly. You are so the person that that relates to. You want to get your full money's worth. It's the rest of your life, mate.
It's honestly.
You are so the person that that relates to.
I want to get my full money's worth.
No, also, you want to,
more than anything else,
and I'm not talking about bedroom stuff.
Yeah.
You want to like smell the breath at least
because you can't smell someone's breath on Zoom.
What if you're marrying someone with halitosis?
This woman is perfect for me.
And then you meet her and you're like, oh, the breath.
Definite deal breaker.
I don't think that's superficial to say.
Anyway, Paige, hi.
Hi, Paige.
Hi.
Did you meet someone online and then like literally officially got together
before meeting them in person?
Yes, we did.
What happened?
So I was on Omegle back when that was a wonderful thing to do.
Omegle?
Yeah, I met on there.
What's Omegle?
It's like an online chat thing where you can talk with people around the world.
Like chat room?
Yeah, kind of like that.
Kind of like the same vibe.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, so we met on there and we started chatting
and then we ended up giving each other our Skype IDs
and we started talking on there.
Well, that's when you know it's official, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
We moved pretty fast.
And then we were chatting all the time
and then we became like best mates,
but then we realised that we had feelings for each other
and yeah, he ended up asking me to be his girlfriend.
And then I ended up visiting him after that.
He lived in Canada.
So I went over there and spent two weeks with him.
And you were already official before you got on the plane to Canada.
We were, yeah.
Was it everything you thought it was going to be?
It was really kind of scary, to be honest.
My family was super like, what are you doing?
What if he kidnaps you? How do you know he's
real? And I was like,
I was only 18 at the time.
So I was like, oh well, it'll be
fun. And it was great. We got on
really well in person. And it worked out?
You guys stayed in a relationship?
We did for a bit, but then coming
home, it ended up being
really difficult. So sadly we did
break up, but we're still best friends. I went and visited him again last difficult. So sadly, we did break up. But we're still best friends.
I went and visited him again last year.
So yeah, we're still good friends.
You could have been on that TV show, Catfish.
Yeah, and luckily you were.
You proved that it can work.
It actually worked out.
Sarah, how did you meet your partner?
Yeah, it was on Skype as well about 10 years ago.
And I was living in Kenya and he was a zoologist.
He was a UN pilot working in Pakistan.
And we just met on an internet dating site and started dating in about, I don't know,
maybe four or five months.
And he flew to Kenya for us to meet.
And I kind of knew by the end of our lunch date, and he booked like a motel room and
everything for us, but I knew by the end of lunch that, no, I was not into him.
Oh, no.
Why is that?
Why do you think you weren't?
The breath.
Was it the breath?
I don't know.
Just like his mannerisms in real life,
just, you know, that to and fro and the actual real life conversation.
The chemistry wasn't there.
Yeah.
You thought it was like a bad internet connection that was lagging,
but in real life it was the actual chemistry that was lagging.
That is a long way home after that, isn't it?
Okay, one that worked and one that didn't.
Let's go to one more from Rashka.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, guys.
Yes, I met my husband on Facebook,
and we started dating before I actually officially met him.
So I was living in Wellington, and he was living in Fiji, so we dated online.
And then I kind of decided that, you know, I wanted to meet him.
And so I went to Fiji, and I met him after two months of dating,
using Facebook calls and Viber calls.
And, yeah, and calls and Viber calls.
And yeah, and then we actually married.
Have you? Whoa.
You got married?
Yeah.
Oh, that's exciting.
So I want to know first, who added who on Facebook?
Like, was it just a random ad?
He added me.
A random ad?
He added me.
It was like a random ad.
And I was kind of a little bit suspicious.
I was like, oh. Yeah, you would be. You married a random ad And I was kind of a little bit suspicious Yeah you would be
You married a random that added you on Facebook
Yeah
Well he wasn't a random in the end
No I know but
God that's a lot of trust from you
Yeah
It was really like
Nerve wracking because it was the first time I kind of did this
Kind of thing
And my parents were pretty like scared for me to go by myself and visit him,
just in case he wasn't who he said he was.
But no, I was one of the more good stories, so I was pretty lucky.
And are you still together?
Yeah, yeah, we've got a two-year-old son.
Oh, awesome.
Oh, congratulations.
That's a great story.
Thank you.
Wow.
Okay, so the moral of the story, add more randoms on Facebook?
I don't know if that's the moral of the story.
Well, it proves it.
Yeah, that's not the moral, definitely.
But it proves that it can work, right?
It really can.
Fascinating.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, there's a lot of buzz around Khloe Kardashian today.
Tell us what it's about.
Yes, now look, I know this is going to sound really shady,
but let's just call it what it is.
Khloe Kardashian's face has changed shape.
Yeah, I'm not being mean.
I'm not being cruel.
She looks hot, actually.
But the truth is she's definitely had a little bit of work done.
Now, I caught up with Jason Amor,
who's like the top surgeon in Beverly Hills,
and he told me what she's had done.
So, if you think about how she
used to look, imagine now
she's had her nose shaved down,
okay? He said she's probably had filler
put in the bottom of her jawline to give
it that really structured look, and then
very likely had a
sack of fat removed
from her cheeks, and then filler put
at the top of the cheek to give that really feminine kind of shape.
I know it sounds like a lot,
but it is a lot, actually.
It is a lot.
Yeah, that's what's going.
It's like evolving.
Her face is evolving,
but she looks good.
Her face is not evolving.
Her face is,
it's a full knockdown and rebuild.
She looks like a different person.
In my opinion,
the image that is doing the rounds
of Khloe Kardashian at the moment, which she posted posted she did a big reveal on her instagram yeah she looks like
a different version she looks like um she looks like an avatar of herself to me which is which
is fine but i just think is there going to be an issue when you look so drastically different like
are you going to have some sort of disassociation with yourself? I just think, to be honest, I really just think about the young girls
that watch that show and they kind of look and they know what she used
to look like and they know from, you know, all these massive changes
she's had and they look at her and they look up to her and they think,
that's what I have to do.
Yeah.
And it's just not the best example.
Like, she was so beautiful before and she still looks great now. But it's just to a point where it's like, the best example. Like, she was so beautiful before, and she still looks great now.
But it's just to a point where it's like, how much is too much?
There's a place for cosmetic surgery, especially for people who need it.
And then for people who have something done that makes them feel better, absolutely.
And I'm not against it.
But this is radical.
What she's done is drastic, right?
But that's the Beverly Hills lifestyle, right, Dean?
Or does she live in Beverly Hills?
Is that where she is? She lives in Calabasas, Beverly Hills. She lives in Calabasas. Which that's the Beverly Hills lifestyle, right, Dean? Oh, she lives in Beverly Hills? Is that where she is?
She lives in Calabasas, Beverly?
She lives in Calabasas.
Which is right near Beverly Hills.
But I had a nose job, and it's not that wild.
Yeah, but did you have six of them?
Yeah, did you have two sacks of fat removed from your cheeks?
No, I didn't get any of that.
I fell down this slippery slide, and then it, like, bent my nose,
so they fixed it.
And while they were there, I was like,
can you just shave a little bit off?
And they were like, sure.
You're fantastic.
And the latest is brought to you by Pack and Save.
Stickman has now got Instagram, New Zealand.
That's right.
You can check him out at INStickman.
That's what you need.
So give him a follow, INStickman.
Bree and Clint.
This is crazy news from the warehouse,
the warehouse where everyone gets a bargain.
This is the best news I've seen in weeks.
They couldn't sell any of their Easter eggs over lockdown when Easter was.
Yes.
So now they're getting rid of them all at a stupidly cheap price.
It's one cent an egg.
A cent an egg.
One cent so for a dollar
you will get
a hundred eggs. It shouldn't have
taken you that long to work that out.
Where my mind goes is
if you paid cash, you'd have to buy
a minimum of ten eggs because
that's the smallest amount of cash you can get
is ten cents. Yeah, oh right, okay.
And then if you paid by FPOS, can you even do an FPOS transaction for one cent? I don't even know. of cash you can get is 10 cents. Yeah, oh, right, okay. And then if you're paid by FPOS,
can you even do an FPOS transaction for one cent?
I don't even know.
I think you can.
So is it like a minimum number of eggs that you have to take?
My mind goes to what is the maximum amount you can buy.
That's the right way to look at this.
And to get that information, we need to call the warehouse directly.
We'll do the research.
Because it's all the eggs, by the way.
It's like the fancy ones.
The ones with stuff in the middle.
Yeah.
All of them.
I need to go to the warehouse.
Good afternoon.
The Newland Warehouse.
Karen speaking.
Hi, Karen.
I was just asking, wanted to ask a quick question.
I saw online that you guys were selling all your Easter eggs for one cent each.
Yep. We sold out yesterday.
Ah!
They did it yesterday.
Yeah. And
pretty much every single store
has sold out that I know of.
You're kidding me, Karen. As you would expect
at one cent an egg. Karen, I need to
ask, what was the maximum amount
of eggs one person could purchase at
one time?
As much as they wanted.
What?
Oh, this is the worst news I've copped all lockdown.
What's the maximum number of eggs you sold to one person?
A hundred.
Is that it?
Which would have cost $1.
No, no, one cent.
What? A hundred eggs for Which would have cost $1. No, no, one cent.
100 eggs for one cent?
No, but that 100 eggs would have cost $1, right?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
I would have went in there and bought $100 worth of eggs.
So how many is that?
1,000.
1,000 eggs.
Karen, you've been very helpful.
Thank you so much, Karen.
Happy Easter for next year.
Is this a radio station?
Because I recognise your guys' voices.
Yeah.
Yep, it is.
What radio station do you like?
What's your favourite?
I have to say the Coast.
That's us.
That's us.
That's us.
All right.
Now back to Ronan Keating on Coast.
Thanks, Karen.
Thanks, Karen.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
By the way, it's Bree and Clint.
Oh, bye.
Bree and Clint. Oh, bye. Bree and Clint.
There's a conversation that's been going down in my new flat
that I feel like I want to, you know,
just put to rest here on the radio show
with the help of, you know, people listening.
Yeah.
And just get a general feeling as to what's right and what's wrong.
No, it's not okay for you and your partner
to wake your flatmates up with that activity. Is that the question you're asking? That was a personal conversation. Oh, right.
I'm just kidding. No, there was a conversation that's been happening for a few weeks
between me and my partner where I believe that when you wear clothes, that sometimes they don't need to go in the wash after one wear.
I call it my not quite dirty enough but not super clean,
so it's like in the middle limbo land.
So you can't put them back in the wardrobe because they've been worn.
Wow, what a catchy name for them.
I know what you mean though.
Not dirty but not quite clean.
Clothes that are too dirty to go in the drawers,
but too clean to go in the wash.
Yeah, like some clothes, you know, you can get two wears out of them.
Yeah, some clothes.
Some items I think never should be worn more than once,
and that is underwear and socks.
100% agree.
Bras are a different conversation altogether.
Yeah, which is a conversation I want to have with you at some stage,
but not right now.
Let's focus on those limbo items of clothing.
Talking like, you know, jeans are a big one, big point of contention.
I wear jeans quite a few times.
Jeans would go back in the drawer for me, though.
Wear them, put them back in the drawer.
Whereas a T-shirt, if I wear a T-shirt for the day
and then at the end of that day it passes the sniff test.
Right.
And I go, oh, there's a few more miles in that.
Do you do the crotch test?
On the pants?
No.
Disgusting.
You've never smelt the crotch of your pants?
No.
Why would I?
No.
Just checking.
Do you?
No.
Oh, good.
I was like, whoa, who am I working with?
I was trying to catch you in a trap.
No, I sniffed the back.
T-shirts are a prime example of this, or shirts, right?
Those are the items where you go, or sweatshirts.
Sweatshirts.
But I wouldn't fold up a T-shirt and put it back in the drawer
because that indicates to me brand new, fully fresh, ready for...
That's completely clean.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the same with pants.
If you've worn them, I'm not folding them back up and putting them in amongst all the
clean stuff.
Yeah, okay.
So pants are a limbo item for you.
I love to put what I call these grey area clothes, the in-betweeners.
I like to rest them on the bath.
Yeah.
Which you can do because you've got an en-suite, right?
Yes.
So it's your own bath.
So it doesn't affect anyone else.
Although you share that bath with your partner.
And I imagine for your hyper-organised partner.
It's not, yeah, it's not the best.
No.
And plus, yeah, you've just moved in too.
So you're learning each other's boundaries and stuff.
Yeah, this one is a tough one.
Mine, when we had more space, was
a chair. And I think for a lot of people there's a
chair. It is good. And you always think you're
going to sit on this chair. Because it can hold a lot too. Yeah, but the
chair inevitably becomes the clothed
resting space. That's what it is, right?
Exactly. It's not a chair anymore.
Yeah, so now it's just the corner
of the room. So there's just an
area of the room on the floor
where these items, they just sit there.
Lucy, my partner, it's good because she operates the same way.
She definitely has limbo clothes.
She drapes them over the edge of the washing basket.
See, that's what I do.
I drape them over the basket.
Not in the basket.
Not in the basket.
Draped over the edge.
Same.
See, Lucy and I are on the same page.
And that's how I can tell because the dirty ones are in
and then the in-between are on.
Yeah, right.
Drake.
You should try getting a laundry basket.
Change your life.
No, I've already filled that up.
I've got the clothes that I don't want to fold up
after washing them in the laundry basket.
I don't think we're the only people that do this.
In fact, I think if you don't have an in-between place for clothes,
you're a crazy person.
Who's washing everything after one wear?
That sounds exhausting.
They're the people I want to talk to.
Oh, okay.
Which side are you on?
Are you on our side,
which there's, you know, the in-between clothes,
not dirty, not clean?
Is that a thing?
Or are you on the complete opposite side
where you wash everything after one use?
Even a sweatshirt?
Like a hoodie. Would you wash a hoodie after one wash? Well a sweatshirt? Like a hoodie? Would you
wash a hoodie after one wash? Well,
you know, we'll take some, you know. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm keen to
talk to those people. I'd love to talk to those people. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. So 0800 dials at M.
We want people on both sides.
And I
mean, I'm ready to get to the bottom of this.
Who's the majority?
Is it with you and I, Clint?
Or is it on the opposite side, the wrong side?
And do you sniff the crutch?
Bonus question.
This world can hurt you.
Bree and Clint.
How do your clothes work?
It's kind of what we're asking.
Yeah, we're asking about your limbo clothes.
And by that we mean, you know, the clothes you wear maybe once,
but they're not dirty enough for you to wash them,
but they're not clean enough probably to go back into the drawers or the cupboard.
Well, that's how we operate.
That's how we think.
Or do you operate differently?
Do you wash after every single wear regardless of what the item was?
Every time.
I will come out and say, it's hard for me, but I am a bath hanger.
Yeah.
And, you know, I am getting ridiculed for that and I'm working through it.
It's good to identify it. I've identified
it. I don't love that thing about
myself. That you hang your half-worn clothes over the
bath. I hate it. I always get down on myself.
I'm always like, come on, be better. I'm with you.
I've identified as a floor draper. Oh, yeah.
Same thing. Similar. Yeah.
And we've got others as well involved, but let's
go to Pitta. Kia ora, Pitta. Hi.
Hi. Hi.
Do you do this or are you someone who washes your clothes after every single wear?
I'm a hamper hanger.
Hamper.
So we've got a hamper for dirty washing and I just put it on kind of on top of the hamper.
Yeah.
Yes, classic hamper hanger.
But I've got a girlfriend that literally washes everything.
If she'll wear a shirt to work at her desk doing nothing with no
strenuity, she'll just wash everything.
How exhausting. Everything no matter what.
It's exhausting.
She's doing nothing for the drought conditions as well, isn't she?
That's not water conservation.
The environment.
Yeah, and I think when you've got children, you have to learn
to recycle because otherwise you'll be doing so
much washing. Yeah, you get some
rusk on your shirt and you've washed three outfits by midday.
I'm absolutely right.
Me and my sister and my brother used to bathe together.
Yeah, that's a different conversation.
That's not what we're talking about.
But that's cool.
I regret saying that now.
Hi, Michaela.
We grew up in the country, okay?
Hi, hi.
Clothes.
Do you have a limbo zone?
Do you have grey area clothes or are you a wash after everywhere?
Yeah, yeah, I wash everything.
No way.
So you're fascinating to me, Michaela.
I need to ask, so jeans, you will literally wear your jeans once
and then they go in the wash?
Just for once, yeah.
How long do your clothes last?
Jeans must be worn out after two months.
Well, yeah, a little bit, but you can just re-dye them.
Okay, so she's got methods.
Michaela.
I mean, you're right,
but it's not something
I've ever thought of doing.
What about bras, Michaela?
Okay, yeah, maybe bras
like a couple times.
Yes, Michaela, yes.
So what's different?
I can't just throw the clothes
on the ground
or throw them anywhere.
They literally just have to go
into the washing basket.
Okay, well, thank you for telling us. Very interesting.
Good to meet one of your people.
Rebecca's here. Hi, Rebecca. Hi, Bec.
Hello. What do you do, Bec?
I do wash
everything I wear, so I can't wear it more
than one day. Like everything?
Every item of clothing,
including jeans? The only thing
I don't wash is a jersey.
Other than that, I wash everything.
And I have two boys, so they get all their stuff washed every day too.
So I've got a lot of washing.
You'd be constantly in your laundry.
Do you do a load of washing every day?
Every day, yeah.
Oh!
That is commitment to the clothes.
Let's go to Jason.
Hey, Jason.
G'day, Jase.
Hey, how are you guys going?
Good, thanks.
What do you do with your stuff?
So I have a pile of wear-agains.
I call them wear-agains, right?
Oh, yeah.
So I get home, I say hello to the missus.
I said, g'day, how are you going?
How's your day?
We have a quick conversation, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Get that out of the way.
Yeah.
I throw my uniform off for the day
and i look to my left and there's my wearing pile so you know i've got like probably a shirt a pair
of shorts that i cycle through yeah every couple of weeks you know and i'm a weekend washer you
know so i i do one bulk load of washing a week and that's me is the uniform is the uniform a one
wear or is that a is that a wear again?
It depends on the year.
Like in summertime, you could probably, you probably need to wash your shirt every day.
I agree with that. You need to wash your shirt every day.
Yeah.
What sort of work do you do?
Is it physical?
Now, in the middle of winter, I'm working outside a wee bit.
Not dirty, but like I could probably wear it again the next day.
Maybe sometimes if you've had a good day, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But yeah, I've got a lot of shirts for work. You've had a next day. Maybe sometimes if you've had a good day, you know what I mean? But yeah, I've got a lot of shirts
for work.
And just to be clear, Jason, your pile of
wear-again, it's the floor? They're just on
the floor? The floor-drobe. No, no, no.
So the clothing basket.
On the edge of the clothing basket.
Floor-drobe is a great word. Floor-drobe.
I've heard that from a few
people. Finally, Zoe, where do you
sit in the clothing conversation?
I'm kind of in the middle.
I wash everything except for hoodies,
and I will leave the hoodies hanging on everything that has a corner to hang on.
So the corner of the chair, the corner of my stand-up closet, everywhere.
Everything's a hook if you're clever enough, right?
Yeah, pretty much.
You know, Zoe, we had a text message from someone
who has an entire separate set of drawers just for their wear-again clothes.
So there's drawers for the clean clothes,
and then there's drawers that the stuff that's been worn once or twice goes into.
They bought specifically a separate set of drawers
where they would just have their limbo clothes in.
And then someone else, completely different,
said that their husband bought a coat rack
just for their in-between clothes to hang them on that.
Is that something you could get into, Zoe?
It sounds like a really good idea.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think I'm going to go buy something.
Right, well, that's how we wear our clothes, New Zealand.
Because I haven't had a bath in three years.
Yeah.
Because all my clothes are in there. Oh, but you are we wear our clothes, New Zealand. Because I haven't had a bath in three years. Yeah.
Because all my clothes are in there.
Oh, but you are showering.
I am showering.
Yeah, yeah, right. Sometimes.
Breaking news, New Zealand.
Benedict Cumberbatch might be here in New Zealand right now.
I did see this on the internet.
Benedict Cumberbatch.
I smell you.
Oh, is that Benedict I hear your breath
Is that Benedict Cumberbatch?
Yeah, that's him as the dragon in The Hobbit
That is terrifying
He's so terrifying
Not the Benedict Cumberbatch club I would have gone to first
But interesting
I didn't know he was the dragon in The Hobbit
Yeah, neither did I
How about this?
Benedict Cumberbatch
This is my game face
The game is on Yeah, that's more recogn How about this? Benedict Cumberbatch. This is my game face.
The game is on.
Now that's more recognisable.
What was that one?
Sherlock Holmes.
Obviously not that recognisable.
We'll do one more.
Benedict Cumberbatch.
My name is Doctor Stephen Strange and I have some questions for you.
Take a seat.
Now I get it. Doctor Strange from Avengers.
I'm not going to lie.
I don't think I've ever seen a movie with Benedict Cumberbatch in it
Anyway, rumours are circulating that he has been in the Hawke's Bay during isolation
Oh, good spot
Some people have, it's quite elaborate how they've figured it out
I was going to say, how did they figure it out if he was in lockdown?
They saw him at Star Mart. No.
Do you know how I told you the other week that he was doing the Tiger YTT?
He was doing the Tiger.
That is a very obscure egg Benedict joke. No, it accidentally came out.
Anyway, someone saw he was on the Zoom thing
doing James and the Giant Peach with Taika Waititi.
They recognised the bookcase in the background of the Zoom call
as a bookcase which is in a resort in the Hawke's Bay
and they go, I know that place.
Therefore, Benedict Cumberbatch must be in New Zealand.
It must be a really obscure bookcase.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like to be able to go, that is the exact one.
And that means he's here.
Yeah.
He might not be, but I've looked at the pictures
and I've looked at a side-by-side of the place,
which is a beautiful place you can go and stay.
It's called Summerly Luxury Resort in Hawke's Bay.
Sounds lovely.
And it's absolutely the bookcase in the study of that place.
So he's absolutely is or has been in New Zealand during lockdown.
Well, because we're a radio show, we are journalists
and we need to get to the bottom of this.
I like what you're thinking.
It's time to call the resort and see if we can speak
with Benedict Cumberbatch.
You know how people have like code names?
I'm pretty sure he uses
the code name Humpty Dumpty.
Welcome to Blackburn Vineyards. Press 1 for the
cellar door, 2 for retreat,
3 for...
Retreat.
Blackburn retreat. Is it possible
to speak with Benedict Cumberbatch, please?
Sorry.
No, I can't help you with that.
Sorry, he might go.
Obviously, he's very famous. And that's good from you.
You didn't put us straight through. That's the right thing to do.
His code name, obviously,
Humpty Dumpty.
Can I please speak with Humpty Dumpty?
I'm afraid there's
no Humpty Dumpty here either. Good.
This is very good from you. You obviously know
the game well, and I like it. You've
passed. You can now put me through.
Damn it!
You know what though?
Judging from her
and her tone, he's definitely
there. He's definitely there.
That's an exclusive. That's a Breein Clinic exclusive.
Okay, give that up to the Herald. Well done us.
Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee.
I'm Alex Casey.

What's the date today? 26
May. May
then June. Oh, we're very
close to dry July.
Just keep that in the back of your mind.
I know there's a lot going on at the moment, but dry July rapidly approaching.
Have you ever done dry July?
No.
Neither?
No.
Have you done anything like that?
I've done February.
I did.
Grew my leg hairs and my armpit hairs out for domestic violence.
I did that. Is that a real thing? It is, yeah. Oh, I thought you were doing a joke. No, I did that Grew my leg hairs and my armpit hairs out for domestic violence. I did that.
Is that a real thing?
It is, yeah.
Oh, I thought you were doing a joke.
No, I did that, yeah.
Fibu Hairy is a great idea.
No, I think I called it that.
Oh, okay.
I kind of made it up.
Yeah.
I can't remember now.
For domestic violence?
It was a long month though.
Yeah, right.
For domestic violence.
Raised money.
I ended up giving it to a women's shelter.
Yeah.
It was really, the growing of the hair wasn't my favourite.
I heard that, I don't know if it was for domestic violence,
but I heard that in competition to Movember,
some women were doing Fanuary, which is where you grow out the,
I won't say the rest, but you know, you can figure it out.
Oh, well, I've had laser.
That one's out for me.
You can't participate.
I can't, I literally can't.
Dry July, though, the people
that run it have come out and they've said 2020
they're rebranding. Oh, really?
New Zealanders have had a rough
year. Okay. And they understand
High July.
No, not High July.
They understand. Good rebrand from them.
They understand that some New Zealanders
may need the occasional drink at the moment.
Fair.
That's good from them.
Smart.
Yeah.
I mean, interesting for lots of reasons, but they've said, that's fine.
We hear you.
We'd still like to run dry July.
But for maximum uptake this year, we would like to run dry-ish July.
And this is a real thing.
This is from the people who run Dry July
They said this year you can choose
So normally 30 days have September, April, June and November
31, 31 days in July
They've said you can choose to do 31 days if you want
Or you can choose to do 21 days
Or you can choose to do 14 days. Or you can choose to do 14 days.
Okay.
What about seven?
Yeah, I know.
Where does it stop?
What about seven?
I guess you could choose to do seven.
I mean, at what point is it not dry-ish and it's more wet-ish?
Yeah, I know.
Where does it change?
And it's like when you go, I mean, I don't mind the word dry-ish
because if you go to an open home and you're like, is it damp?
And they go, well, it's dry-ish.
Not great.
No.
But in July where it's meant to be dry July.
Yeah.
I mean, I'll take that.
So you come to me.
What about every.
You come to me for sponsorship.
Yeah.
Because it's a great cause, dry July.
They raise money for cancer charities in New Zealand.
And they need that funding, obviously.
But you come to me.
Yeah.
And you're looking to fundraise.
You go, hey, sponsor me.
I'm doing dry-ish July.
So what if I – and then you go –
And I go, well, how-ish.
And I'm like, okay, I won't drink.
Would you be keen to sponsor me if I said I'm doing dry-ish July
and I'm not going to drink on any –
Weekdays.
Weekdays.
No, because that's how I know that's –
Not including Friday. Yeah, exactly right. Because that's how I know that's... Not including Friday.
Yeah, exactly right.
Because that's just normal.
That's just normal.
That's how you operate.
Some might think that, but okay, what if I did dry-ish July
and I didn't drink on any weekends?
Yeah, that's harder.
But then you'd be harder to work with because you'd be hung over
Monday through Friday. A bigger problem for you, yes. Anyway, that's what you But then you'd be harder to work with because you'd be hung over Monday through Friday.
It would become a bigger problem for you, yes.
Anyway, that's what you've got to look forward to.
Dry Ash July.
God, it gets easier and easier every year, doesn't it?
It's good.
Good from them.
I like it.
Brie and Clint.
Time for the Insta Fame Game.
Oh, my God.
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would.
She's such a bitch.
It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta-fame game.
It's a pretty simple game.
Producer Ellie will give us famous people's Instagrams
and then we try and guess how many followers they've got.
Fun drinking game you can play with your friends too.
Just pick someone to run the game
and you can play with each other's Instagrams accounts.
You could, yeah.
You just have to know the people involved.
Producer Ali, hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Today we're kicking off with a celebrity
who we talked about last week
who has been in a moon boot,
but she said she's back on the right foot.
It's Nicole Kidman.
Nicole.
Nicole, or Kidders as they call her.
Oh, your mates call her that, do they?
Is that what they call it?
No idea.
For Nicole Kidman, Clint, you put $4.2 million.
Bree, you put $6 million.
Nicole Kidman has $6.8 million.
Get in.
Point to Bree.
Nice.
My fellow Aussie sister.
There you go.
All right, your next celebrity,
he's been apparently buying tubs of Big Mac sauce online over lockdown.
It's David Beckham.
What a hero.
I know.
He's just went up a notch in my books.
He can't go much higher.
Have you guys tried Pickle Nays yet from the supermarket in New Zealand?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that sounds delicious.
It's the closest thing I've found to Big Mac sauce.
Oh, Pickle Nays.
Pickle Nays.
Pickle Nays.
Okay.
Hold on, David Beckham.
Beckham.
He's uncomfortably
attractive.
For David Beckham, Clint, you put $72 million.
Brie, you put $102 million.
David Beckham has $63 million.
Damn it. It's a point to Clint.
We're at one all.
Alright, your next celebrity.
Nice. Yeah, cool alright your next celebrity nice yeah cool your next celebrity
he's famous for his bare foot trend
apparently that him and his kids always wear bare feet
and a lot of other celebrities have picked up on it
Chris Hemsworth
yeah
I can see that because they live in Byron Bay
it's very Byron Bay isn't it
is it alright if he's doing it in like
downtown LA?
I don't know.
I'd be worried I was going to stand on a needle.
Totally, yeah.
All right.
For Chris Hemsworth, Clint, you put $40 million.
Bree, you put $89 million.
Chris Hemsworth has $42.4 million.
Point to Bree.
Wait, what?
No, point to Clint.
No, point to Clint. Oh, you said $40 million. Sorry. Point to Clint.. Wait, what? No, point to Clint. No, point to Clint.
Oh, you said 40 million, sorry.
Point to Clint.
Literally nearly spot on.
Forget I said all that.
2-1 to Clint.
All right, your next celebrity is, he's just broken up with his girlfriend, Lily Reinhart.
It's Cole Sprouse.
Oh, God, that's a tough one.
Riverdale.
That's the one.
Or Ben Off Friends.
Or Cody and Zach's Crazy Life. What Riverdale. That's the one. Or Ben Off Friends. Or Cody and Zach's Crazy Life.
What was it?
That's the name.
The Suite Life of Zach and Cody.
All right.
Ah, jeez.
Was he Ben On Friends?
Yeah.
Ross's son.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, him and his brother.
Yeah.
There you go.
There's two of them.
Is there?
Well, that played him.
Yeah, Buzzy G, yeah.
You didn't know that there's two of them? Is there? Well, that played him. Yeah, Buzzy G, yeah.
You didn't know that there's two of them?
I've got to admit.
Oh, my God. I've got to be honest with you guys.
No, not too old.
He's too old.
He's too old, eh?
I'm not sure I could pick Cole Sprouse in a lineup.
No fear.
Okay, so for Cole Sprouse, Clint, you put $18 million.
KJ Upper, though, he's my cup of tea.
He's from this country.
Of course you can pick him up.
So Clint put $18 million for Cole Sprouse.
Brie put $8 million.
Cole Sprouse has $32.2 million, which means it's a game to Clint.
Did I get that one right?
Yeah.
Did I?
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Ah, my in-depth Cole Sprouse knowledge pulled me through in the end.
Yeah, how the heck did you do that?
So he's a twin, is that right?
Yes.
And they played Zack and Cody on the Suite Life of Zack and Cody
on Disney Channel.
And is the other ones in Riverdale as well?
Seriously, stop.
Something else that's uplifting is really good news
for ex-all black Zinzane Brooke, who you were telling me about him
because obviously I wasn't living in here when he was
in his glory days back in the 90s.
Yeah.
But I heard something about like a crazy, ridiculous drop goal.
Oh, yeah.
And then in the Rugby World Cup.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he played with Jonah Lomu and he was a big time, you know, all black player.
Yeah.
He's a legendary all black from the 90s.
Yeah.
From the 90s.
Anyway, he's come out and revealed that his oldest son, Lucas,
has now signed a two-year academy contract with a team over in London.
Yeah.
And pretty much it's a pro rugby team over there.
He's a professional rugby player.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, well, well done.
So he's passed it on.
Yeah.
And I was thinking, like, do you think that's obviously, you know,
obviously the influence or do you think it's in their blood?
To be good at rugby?
Yeah.
Yeah, good question.
Because also the pressure.
Like I think about the pressure that Michael Jordan's kids
would have felt to be good at basketball.
And it's too much.
It'd be immense.
You'd almost go, well, dad is Michael Jordan,
so I'm not even going to try because.
Well, not at basketball.
Not at basketball, right?
Definitely play a different sport.
Can you imagine even at high school?
Not at basketball and not at shoemaking.
Yeah, right.
I'll go down a different avenue.
But you and I were talking off air about, you know,
families here in New Zealand that have multiple, you know, sports people in their family
and also families that have it across different generations.
Yeah.
Which that's what I'm interested in.
Yeah, and like we talked about before,
the pressure that you would feel to be good at that sport.
But I brought up Stephen Adams and his sister Valerie Adams.
So they're obviously an incredible sporting family.
Crazy ridiculous.
Obviously he plays basketball and she's shot put.
Yeah.
And both like just have excelled to all ends of the earth in both their sports.
Yeah.
Crazy.
They're at the top of the world.
Like I wonder, and forgive me, but I don't know either like anyone else in their family.
I don't know either.
Immense, like really, really good sports people.
I heard Valerie's child, great on the discus.
Really?
Her baby, yeah.
I love discus.
I can't wait to see her baby ripping that discus.
I'm looking for more cross-generational things that you're talking about.
Like dads, granddads.
This is as good as I've got so far.
Okay, what have you got?
So Dan Carter.
Yes.
All Black Dan Carter.
Okay, what did his family, what have you got? So Dan Carter. All Black Dan Carter. Okay, what did his family, what's he got? So
his great
uncle,
Bill Daly, was also
an All Black. Which is close to what I'm getting.
Great uncle. Okay.
It's in the bloodline. It's in the bloodline, yeah.
That's not bad. It was in the family.
That's about as close as I can get though. That's it.
I haven't found another father-son
combo. I definitely haven't found a grandfather-father combo.
A grandmother, like, because your grandma,
one of the original Black Ferns.
Yeah, like, that would be crazy.
Like, I look at the Barrett brothers, obviously.
Yes.
They're insane.
Yes.
But then, like, what's their dad doing?
Farming.
What was their mum doing?
Smiley Barrett.
He's out there farming.
Do you know the Barrett brothers, Geordie, Scott and Bowden,
were the first ever threesome is the wrong word.
Trio.
Trio of brothers to start for the All Blacks.
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
Like when I heard about that when I moved here, I was like,
this is insane.
It's unfair.
Their family made up one-fifth of the team.
Literally.
Like that's just crazy.
But I want to know, is there anyone out there listening?
And it doesn't have to be, you know, in the same sport.
It doesn't have to be all black level.
No.
But did you have people in your family where it crossed over different generations
where they were just really good at sports? High-level sports people in your family where it crossed over different generations where they were just really good at sports?
High-level sports people in your family tree.
Did you have a multi-generational sports history across your family tree?
I'd love to hear from someone whose grandparents went to the Olympics.
Oh, that would be amazing.
And then in turn, their parents went to the Olympics.
And then they won their semi-final at the netball comp.
Some indoor netball.
Yeah, indoor netball.
Something like that.
We'll see what we can get.
See what's out there around the country at the moment.
Yeah, call us now.
0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
Turns out, this just in, it does run in the family.
You're being good at sport. Being good at sport.
Being good at sport.
Multi-generational sporting families.
We were talking about Zinzan Brook,
who has just announced that his son, his eldest son,
has signed a two-year pro rugby deal.
In the UK, right?
In the UK.
I hope it happens.
Yeah, that'll be awesome.
No, I mean the competition.
Like, I hope it happens.
What?
Oh, yeah, right.
There's no rugby going on anywhere in the world.
Well, at least we'll get paid.
This family tree thing, and we've got lots of people who are saying,
yeah, it goes right up our family, like, generations.
Yeah.
Explains why I sucked at all sports.
Why are your parents not very good?
Is that a fit?
Hang on, let's see if that's offensive to say.
No, they're not.
I can't think of a sport that either of them could have.
They can't. That's okay. Yeah. No, they're not. I can't think of a sport that either of them could have. They can't.
That's okay.
Yeah.
What, they didn't play any sport?
Did mum play a sport?
Mum was in a marching band.
Right.
But that's not a sport I ever tried my hand at.
And what did your dad do?
Just wagged school, I think.
This makes a lot of sense now knowing you.
Let's meet some people who have it in their family line.
Scott's here.
Hey, Scott.
Hey, Scott.
G'day.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Who's the sporting people in your family?
Yeah, this is a long one.
My grandfather played hockey in the 1930s for New Zealand against the Indians.
No, that counts.
Whoa.
Was New Zealand playing hockey in the 1930s?
Yeah, apparently.
He played for the Black Slicks then.
Then my father, his son, was a very good hockey player.
He played for Canterbury but then had a major motorbike accident so he had to stop playing.
So he coached Canterbury in hockey.
And then I came along and I represented New Zealand
in track and field at the Commonwealth Games and World Championships.
Really?
Wow.
How did you go, Scotty?
Yeah, in the Commonwealth Games,
I got 15th in the 200,
which was last in my semifinal,
but it's a bit of a joke,
but hey, I made it.
Who cares, mate?
Who cares?
You're on the world stage.
Yeah, yeah.
So how does it happen?
Was it protein shakes
instead of formula
when you were a baby?
Is that how you get sports people
in the family?
No, it's just good genes.
Good genes. Yeah. Amazing. Okay just good genes. Well done, Scott, and thank you for sharing that with us. Jessica's here. Hi, Jessica.
Hi, Jess.
Hi.
Who is it that you know that has multi-generational sports people in their family?
So it's my family. Actually, my great-grandfather, he started barefoot and water skiing, and then it moved down to my grandmother, then my father,
and then me and my sister.
Right.
Barefoot water skiing.
So you all barefoot water ski?
So we mostly just do water skiing.
He was the barefooter.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
But we've all tried our hand at it, yeah.
So to a representative level, like are you,
is there an Olympics for water skiing?
No, there's not an Olympics,
but there is the equivalent,
like the World Masters
in Australia,
the Mumba Masters.
You've been?
You've competed?
I haven't competed,
but my sister and my dad
have competed
on the national level,
and then, yeah.
Right.
Well done.
It's a hard sport.
Expensive sport,
because someone in the family
has got to have a boat, right?
Yes. Yeah, but it's so much sport. Expensive sport because someone in the family has got to have a boat, right? Yes.
Yeah, but it's still my fun.
I imagine you're not all still using granddad's boat, right?
No, we have our own.
Yeah, right, right, right, right.
Good.
Can you imagine, like, obviously they do weight training and all the rest of it or whatever,
but to train you literally have to go out on the boat all the time.
Yeah.
I wonder if there's a land version for training.
Like, no, that's a stupid question.
Don't worry.
Is there like a water skiing treadmill?
She's gone, so I can't ask my dumb question.
Anna's here.
Hi, Anna.
Hi, Anna.
Hello.
Is it your family that has the multi-generational sports people?
Yeah, so I'm the underachieving sister.
I have Anna.
I love that.
My dad played for the All Blacks back in the 80s.
Oh, what was his name?
Steve Scott.
So he mainly played for Canterbury and then played kind of when I came along, the early 80s.
And then my brother played for the under 20 All Blacks and he still plays for Otago.
Yep.
And he's currently dating,
hopefully going to marry
because they might be listening to this,
the daughter of an Otago rugby player as well.
So there's like no pressure on their kids at all.
Yeah, right.
God, that's a lot of rugby.
Yeah.
But then my mum,
after being married to an All Black,
married into a league family.
Oh, no.
Oh, taboo.
That is not the done thing.
She switched codes.
No.
She's like Sonny Bill Williams.
I thought you were about to say it.
I thought you were about to say,
I turned around and said, I want to play soccer.
And they said, no, daughter of mine.
You pick that damn ball up and you run with it.
I love it.
Anna, what's your highest sporting achievement?
You personally.
I don't know.
I won the swimming cup at primary school.
Does that count?
That's good.
Well done.
Very good, Anna.
You're from a good pedigree.
Congratulations on that.
And you dine in on that for the rest of your life, okay?
Well done.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.

That's good.
I'm very well, thanks.
Let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
27 of September, 1981.
Okay, you were 16 in 1997 on the 27th of September.
And back in the 97, this topped the charts.
Oh, yeah. September and back in the 97, this topped the charts.
Ah, the biggest hit of the 97.
Hey, this is a great
song, Karen. Will Smith, Men in Black.
Yeah, it is.
Are you happy with this as your birthday banger?
Yeah, this is nice.
So that means Men in Black,
the movie, that's why that song went to number one.
Correct.
Right.
But was it the first movie?
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, it would have been.
Did he do a different song for each movie?
No.
No.
No, I don't believe so.
I don't think there's a Men in Black 2 song.
But I don't know.
I don't know.
Let's go to Shayla finally.
Hey, Shayla, do you want to turn your radio down for us, please?
Yep.
Oh, a lot going on with you, Shayla.
That's wild.
I know.
What are you doing?
Are you in the car?
Yeah, I am.
I'm actually outside the fish and chip shop.
Oh, wonderful.
Who's in the car with you?
Me, my partner, and my son.
Oh, yeah.
Bree's question was better.
What are you getting?
Yeah, what are you getting?
We're getting Chinese.
Oh, yum. Lovely. Chicken chow mein and a sweet are you getting? Yeah, what are you getting? We're getting Chinese. Oh, yum.
Lovely.
Chicken chow mein and a sweet and sour pork?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely on point with that.
Yum.
All right, Shay, let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
The 30th of the 1st, 1995.
All right, you were 16 in 2011 on the 30th of January.
And this is your birthday banger.
To hold it against me. on the 30th of January. And this is your birthday bang.
Some Britney Spears.
All right, that's a different one.
Yeah, right?
Does that represent you well, Shayla?
Yeah.
No, that's a good one, actually.
Is it?
I reckon your Chinese order is better than this Britney song.
I don't mind this song.
Britney was trying.
Okay, wait there, Shayla.
We're going to find a winner.
It's Will Smith,
The Weeknd or Britney.
It's Will Smith for me.
It's Will Smith, right?
That song's awesome.

It's the winner of Birthday Bangers Day Will Smith Men in Black
I'll take any Will Smith
We're just going through
The list of songs
That Will Smith has done
Specifically for movies
Because obviously he made
That one for the
Men in Black movie
Wild Wild West
Yeah Wild Wild West
Which when it was made
Did you know that this was
The most expensive music video
Of all time
Really
Yeah yeah
Because they made it I think they just did a deal with a movie company,
also filmed the music video as well.
So it had the director and everyone dealing with it.
It was a package deal.
Yeah, package deal.
Which we talked about too.
If you're Will Smith's agent and they're like, cool, we want to get Will on this movie,
are you trying to upsell them to a song as well?
Do you want a song too?
Because that'll cost their spot.
Because Will does great songs.
He can bolt in a song as well Do you want a song too Because that'll cost this bit Because Will does great songs He can bolt in a song
If you like
And you're like
What's that movie
Where he plays
The unemployed father
The unemployed
The pursuit of happiness
Oh I love that movie
Yeah
Does that have a Will Smith song
Go with it
I don't think so
No
He did Switch for Hitch
And we can't think of any others There's probably some a hitch.
And we can't think of any others.
There's probably some.
Oh, there's this one.
God, he's so talented.
He's so talented.
You're right.
Take your time, by the way.
Sorry. Are we on the radio? time, by the way. Sorry.
Are we on the radio?
Yeah, we're on the radio.
That's really unprofessional of me.
I'm really excited about this because I found this article online and it was essentially where they did research into couples
and how gross they are with each other
and whether that is linked with happiness or not.
Grossness and happiness.
So when I say grossness, I mean like, you know, where, I mean,
I've got all the categories.
I know what you're talking about.
I've got all the categories.
But anyway, so they found.
Oh, I imagine it's got heavy leanings towards bodily functions.
Just real kind of, you know, but not everything like that.
Yeah.
There's a lot of different things. Anyway, they found that people who,
couples that are a lot more gross with each other,
so perform a lot more gross behaviours,
were more likely to be satisfied in their relationship.
Right, okay.
That's what it's saying.
But I thought we could do a test where I've taken a bunch of these
that they've
asked all these people like this is the stuff that they ask these people in this test whether
they did with their partner or not yeah so let's do it i'm gonna give you 10 and i want you to
mark down and obviously tell me because we're on the radio whether it's a yes or a no in your
relationship okay so i get a point for each year? Exactly. Okay, all right. Yeah. Okay, cool.
So the first one is picking things out of your partner's teeth.
Is it a yes or a no in your relationship?
Yeah, I would do that.
You would do that?
Yeah, and Lucy would do it for me.
That's one.
I get a point.
You get a point.
What about checking the partner's nose for bats in the cave?
Lucy does this daily for me before I leave the house.
Yeah, you've got big nostrils.
And hairy nostrils too.
Yeah, so that's nice from her.
So I don't do it for her.
But she does it for you.
She does it for me.
She's shorter than me.
She's at the right angle.
She looks straight up there.
Okay, what about.
Also, thanks for saying I've got big nostrils.
Anyway, we'll skim over that.
I've got two from two.
What about picking your partner's nose?
Oh, I think she's done that for me.
So, yeah.
Picking your partner's nose.
Yeah.
What about using your partner's toothbrush?
Can't recall a specific time that I have done it with Lucy, my wife.
So that's a no.
But I would do it.
So I think I get the point.
You can't just give yourself a point for everything.
Well, I've used hers without telling her.
Can we forward this audio onto her?
No, we used to have matching electric toothbrushes,
and I've used hers by accident before.
She's going to be ropeable.
And I didn't have an issue with it.
I wasn't like, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.
Okay, what about...
Oh, I've got four from four.
I might be, I might be, ew.
Don't worry, we haven't got to the hard ones yet.
Okay.
What about cleaning your partner's ears?
No.
With earbuds.
I think that's a no from me.
I draw the line there. That would make me gag, I think that's a no from me. I draw the line there.
That would make me gag, I think.
What about popping partners' pimples?
Not a fetish of mine, but a large fetish of my wife's.
Yeah, she loves it, eh?
She's a Dr. Pimple Popper.
Loves it.
God, I'm painting her in a horrific light, aren't I?
She's wonderful.
She's a fantastic person.
So, you know what's interesting is all the ones I've just given you
are the least common.
Yeah.
So these are the ones that people said, you know,
the least amount of people said that they do do.
So now we're into the most common gross things
that partners do with each other.
Yeah, okay.
Okay?
So the first one is using a partner's deodorant.
Very common.
Yeah, I've done that.
Yeah.
I think we've all done that.
I needed to try Mitchum and she had Mitchum.
Was it good?
It was good, but it marked my T-shirt.
This is really revealing for your relationship.
I didn't want to buy a whole Mitchum, but she swears by Mitchum,
so I just had a hone on her Mitchum, yeah.
Okay, so this is also super common.
Sniffing a partner to see if they smell.
I've done that.
Yeah, that just seems like a loving thing to do for someone.
And then I'll be like, you're a bit whiffy.
Yeah, you've got to be able to tell them.
You've got to be able to.
This was also super common.
Breaking wind in front of your partner.
No.
That one's...
I clicked the wrong one.
That one is one of the most common gross things
that partners do in front of each other.
It was big no from me and we know that already.
Yeah, so that was second
and then above that was the most common gross thing
that partners do in front of each other.
Take a wee in front of each other.
Oh, no.
You don't do that either?
No.
Have you ever?
No.
Oh, really?
Why would I?
Why do I need to take a wee in front of her?
Why don't you go spice it up?
Is that the grossest?
No, no, no.
It's the most common.
Oh, okay.
Out of the categories.
That's the most common one.
Yeah, right.
But trust me, there's a lot more gross stuff on the list
that I could not read out on the radio. Some partners do a number twos in front of each other. That one. Yeah, right. But trust me, there's a lot more gross stuff on the list that I could not read out on the
Some partners do a number twos in front of each other.
That one was on the list.
Do you want to know how many percent said yes on that?
Yeah.
But we're not including it in the top 10, right?
I don't have to ask.
No, we're not including that in the top 10.
Hold on.
This surely is not right.
So a percentage of couples who have done a number two in front of each other.
Yeah.
What is it?
34%.
I'd believe it. I mean, if is it? 34%. I'd believe it.
I mean, if you're busting.
I'd believe it.
If you're busting.
Okay, do we want to tally up our scores out of 10 for grossness?
Yeah, so tally up your scores.
Okay, I've got, I'm a seven out of 10.
Seven out of 10, I would put you,
that means you're in the above.
Average grossness.
Average, which means you're more likely to have a happy relationship.
Okay, I can handle that.
What did you get?
I didn't do it.
Oh, okay.
But I'm going to say all of them.
Then I say you got 10 out of 10.
Yeah.
You got 11 out of 10 because you did that number two story the other day as well.
No, I didn't do it in front of them.
You did, but you didn't flush it.
Black leather glove, no.
Brie and Clint.
A special birthday shout-out to do on the show.
Brie, we don't often do a birthday shout-out.
Whose birthday?
It's a special 30th birthday.
And we'd like to say happy birthday to Microsoft Solitaire.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday.
I mean, it's better than what Elon Musk named his kid.
Happy birthday.
That's true. No, it's not a what Elon Musk named his kid. That's true.
It's not a Zedium listener called Microsoft Solitaire.
You're talking about the card game that everybody played on Windows 95 and 98
and everything else, really.
You know, I had a friend whose first name was Solitaire.
Really?
Have you ever heard of that?
Were they an only child?
Yeah, they were.
They actually were.
Really?
They were.
Well, you'd need to be.
Yeah, or else it wouldn't make sense.
Need to call you duo.
It's
been around
for 30 years, and this is interesting.
Microsoft have revealed that New Zealand
is one of the top five
solitaire playing countries in the world.
This statistic is
wild to me, because obviously solitaire, super popular in the world. This statistic is wild to me because obviously solitaire,
super popular, very common.
But are they talking about that now, these days,
we're in the top 5%?
Yeah, now we are.
Yeah, incredible.
I'll give you the top five countries in order.
Haven't we heard of a Nintendo?
Yeah, get Fortnite.
Yeah, right?
In order, number one, the Cocos Islands.
Never heard of those.
Haven't heard of them.
Number two, Anguilla.
Okay, yeah.
Number three, where Solitaire is most popular, the Vatican City,
which I get that.
I don't know if you're allowed a Nintendo Wii in the Vatican City.
Probably not.
Yeah, or any kind of video game except for Solitaire.
Number four, Barbados.
And then fifth, New Zealand.
Well done.
Buzzy, eh?
So interesting to me.
Yeah.
So here.
Why here?
To deliver, I don't know.
It doesn't say.
I don't know.
Here to deliver some of her signature buzzy facts.
Oh, yeah.
I guess they are quite buzzy.
Please welcome producer Ellie.
Hello.
Hello.
G'day, mate. buzzy facts. Oh yeah, I guess they are quite buzzy. Please welcome producer Ellie. Hello.
Did you know though, just quickly,
Microsoft Solitaire still deals 100 million packs per day?
That's how many people are playing it per day?
100 million. Worldwide.
Yeah. That's quite a lot.
Of people playing Solitaire.
It's crazy to me that they're tracking it.
Because it's not an online
game. And yet they still have that data from you. tracking it. Yeah. Because it's not an online game. And yet they still
have that data from you.
Oh, creepy.
Okay, hit us with
some solid,
oh, that was the
first one.
Oh, yeah, wow.
Buzzy G.
And it was developed
by an intern back
30 years ago,
Wiz Cherry,
and it was actually
made to teach people
how to use a mouse
and drag and drop.
God, he would be
rolling with it.
You'd hope so, eh?
Would he?
Is he?
Is that in the facts?
I didn't actually look that up.
Sorry, mate.
Yeah, you wouldn't want to give away Microsoft Solitaire for free.
No way.
Exactly.
So off the back of this with like knowing that they invented it kind of for a different
reason, but it became a huge game afterwards.
I found some products that were made for other reasons,
but got famous for other things.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you're going on a fact tangent.
Yeah, I really am.
So, you know Listerine, obviously for the mouth,
the antibacterial wash,
that was invented 133 years ago,
and it was actually first a surgical antiseptic
and also used as a cure for gonorrhea.
I've now
thought about all my friends
who use Listerine.
And how was it cured?
Did you swallow it? Yeah, I'm not too sure.
Or did you dunk your bits? Yeah, oh, I don't know.
Or maybe. Oh, that wouldn't be
Oh, can you imagine Listerine on your bits?
I don't enjoy Listerine in my mouth.
Yeah. It could be blue, yeah.
Blue balls. Literally. But minty mouth. Yeah. It could be blue. Blue balls.
Literally.
But minty fresh.
Yeah.
There you go.
The next product I found was actually Viagra,
and that was originally conceived, mind the pun,
as a treatment for hypertension, angina,
and other symptoms of heart disease. And they realised there was a side effect going on downstairs on the mails.
Yeah.
And then there you go.
Now it rakes in $1.9 billion a year.
Yeah, buzzy, eh?
She's laughing at Angina.
She's laughing at Angina.
How did you know that?
Imagine looking at your account
and not
realising that $8,000
has been transferred out of your account. Whoa! I'd be excited that there was $8,000 has been transferred out of your account.
Whoa.
I'd be excited that there was $8,000 in my account to begin with.
Yeah, me too.
Right?
But there's a family in Canberra, which is over in the ACT in Australia,
who they went through exactly this.
So they were like, what are all these massive transactions
that are coming out of our accounts over the past three weeks?
Anyway, the bank was calling them.
They were like, what are all these purchases that you're making?
And they were trying to figure it out.
And over the couple of days.
Oh, no, I know what it is.
They figured out.
The dad's addicted to the strippies.
No, no, thank God.
Dad's blown $8,000 because he's in love with a stripper.
No, no, no.
Is that not it? No. Because that seems like the obvious answer. It's definitely not it. I because he's in love with a stripper. No, no, no. Is that not it?
No.
Because that seems like the obvious answer.
It's definitely not it.
I mean, I'm happy that it's not.
They figured out that their nine-year-old son.
Addicted to the strippies.
Addicted.
No, he wasn't addicted to anything.
So he's been using the family iPad for homeschooling.
Yeah. So he's been using the family iPad for homeschooling. And what the dad did was he set the kid's thumbprint up on the iPad
so he could get in and out and do his schoolwork.
Anyway, what he didn't think about was the fact that he could also make purchases
on games or websites or anything like that.
So apparently a nine-year-old Christian has been playing this kid's game
and they try and rope you in by buying certain things on those games.
More lives or whatever it is.
Exactly.
Anyway, he's racked up $8,000 worth.
And the family and the parents are P.S.ed.
Yeah, they're ruthless, too, the people who run those sites.
I've never heard of someone getting a refund from Farmville.
So I looked into that, yeah, exactly, and I was like,
oh, well, this could be on the cusp.
Anyway, so they contacted Apple and they've contacted the game.
Anyway, they're trying to get their $8,000 back,
and apparently the game was like, you know trying to get their $8,000 back.
And apparently the game was like, you know, in the T's and C's,
there's nothing about this kind of thing that covers you pretty much.
Yeah, and you put his thumbprint in the iPad.
You stupid egg.
Anyway, so they actually did a story about this over back in Aussie and it went to air.
And as soon as they saw that, they actually ended up refunding them the money.
Oh, that's the right thing to do.
But can you imagine,
there's probably heaps of people that have had this happen to.
Plot twist.
It's been the dad on the game the whole time.
And he's now reached the level that he wants.
He's clocked the game and he's like,
this is how I get the money back.
Blame the kid.
Blame the kid.
Get the money back.
Boom.
I'm a hero.
Everybody wins.
I'm just theorizing here.
So he wins the game and he still gets the money back Boom I'm a hero Everybody wins I'm just theorising here So he wins the game
And he still gets the money back
And he gets his $8,000 back
So he can head straight back down to the strippies
Winner
Winner
Strip club
Chicken dinner
They're always the best palmies at the strip club
What?
Right?
I don't know what it is
Something about it
I think it's the sauce
