Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. Regular podcasters will be familiar with my concept that I've floated where I check my lotto tickets live on the podcast. Are we still on this? Yeah, because I think it's a good thing I can bring to the show. No one gives a shit about you checking your lotto ticket unless you say that if you ever win the jackpot, you will split it with everyone that listens to the podcast.

Oh, get your hands off my money. See, that's when people get their hands off my money. Get your grubby little hands out of my body. No, I think people do care. I think they would be excited to hear someone win lotto. Who's ever had that opportunity before, you know? It'd be exciting. So anyway, don't worry.

I don't have one today. Oh, I'm so disappointed. The draw's tonight. So I do have a ticket for today, obviously. But the draw's tonight. So does that mean you're going to wait to check your ticket until tomorrow when we do the podcast intro? Yeah, that's what I'd like to do. But that'll be too hard for me.

So maybe I need to buy another ticket. You buy too many tickets. I'll buy a ticket. This is what we'll do. We'll buy a ticket that I keep here at ZM. should i do that and then then i can't check that one it'll be the show ticket and then if i win on the other ticket it'll be a secret and i'll never tell you anyway i've got some some information you you you are the of the belief that lotto is unwinnable is that what you've said no i'm not saying it's unwinnable i just said that the odds are definitely

you just said that i won't win against you no i'm not saying you won't win i'm not saying it's unwinnable i just said that the odds are definitely you just said that i won't win against you no i'm not saying you won't win i'm just saying that it's very very very unlikely so how do you explain this headline uh since the beginning of 2020 21 new zealanders have become millionaires in lotto and there's only been 21 weeks this year so that's a millionaire a week how do you explain that how do you explain that so lotto has one draw maybe a couple more a week and then people buy tickets and one person out of five million people a week wins. Well, 21 out of 5 million people this year alone. I'm just saying. I'm just saying the odds of you being that one person

out of the potential 5 million. Much better for every ticket that I buy. I hear you. No, it's the same odds for every ticket you buy. Yeah, I understand that too. The odds don't go down for every ticket you buy. Do, I understand that too. You don't, like, the odds don't go down for every ticket you buy. Like, do you know what I'm saying? Like, the more tickets you buy doesn't give you a better chance.

Yeah, it does. Unless you're buying, like, multiple tickets in the same drawer. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're not. You're just buying one ticket every week. So explain yourself. Should I be buying more lotto tickets or less lotto tickets?

I feel like I'm getting contradictory messages out of you. Okay, you know what I think you should do? How many lotto tickets do you buy a year? How many weeks are there, 52? This is confronting for you. No, I don't feel comfortable saying. Why not? No, I don't feel comfortable saying.

No, tell us. Two a week. Okay, two a week, so we say 104 tickets. Yep. Okay, cool. You... Put the money in the Slytherins account. No, no, no.

No, no, no. I'm with you. I'm not going to be boring. But if you want better odds, then you should buy 104 tickets in one draw. Oh. And put all your eggs in one basket at one time because then. Let me see how much that would cost. That gives you better odds.

Let me do the math. So. Producers, do you see what I'm saying? Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Like you're not going to have better odds if you me do the math. Producers, do you see what I'm saying? Yeah, I get it. You're not going to have better odds if you've been buying lotteries. You don't understand that I get a little rush every time I play. Yeah, but can you imagine how big the rush will be if you've got 104 tickets? Should we do it as a show?

Hang on, let me just check. How much would that cost? Aren't they like $20 or something? No, I'm not buying $20 tickets, no. I'd be bankrupt. So wait, so say how much would the tickets be? $700. So it'd be $700.

Yeah. So say us four split the $700. $728. So we split it quarters. Yeah. And we bought 104 tickets In one draw We'd probably wait for a big draw

Or you don't Because more people are going to buy tickets For the bigger draw That doesn't change your odds of winning It does It means you're more likely to share the Division But more tickets in the draw

Doesn't reduce your likelihood of winning No but I'm saying you're more likely to share it. Yeah. True. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But more tickets in the draw doesn't reduce your likelihood of winning. No, but I'm saying you're more likely to have multiple winners. Yeah, right. See, I like this. You know what my favourite bit is? What? I've sucked you into the dream. No, I'm just saying I'm just trying to help you because if you literally buy all your tickets

$700 is a lot of money to spend on Lotto in one day. Yep. You spend that every year. And I'm, you know, that's what you do. You spend that every year. And I'm saying you do it once and then you forget about it for the rest of the year. Right. Well, can I think about it? You can think about it.

But if I say yes. But if it's in six months, the offer's off the table. No, but if I say yes, it means I'm going to be Facebook messaging you all For a transfer of $182 I'd do that You're in? I'd probably be in Ellie? Yeah, I don't know if I'm in

Okay, wait So we're going to split Ellie's shares That's another $60 each So we'll now be doing $240 each How much is the lotto right now? Just so you know, Ellie If you don't go in And we buy 104 tickets

and say we even win $300,000, you'll get nothing. It's true. It's true. Would you be okay with that? Ethically, we can't give you any. I'd love to help you. No, yeah, no. Ethically, we can't.

I mean, I'd be super gutted, but I feel like it's very unlikely that you'll actually win. See? So Ellie's in the same boat as me. But I'm someone who If this was happening And I'm in this close-knit team I couldn't not put in Because then I couldn't deal

I couldn't deal with the actual outcome If it happened Yeah, maybe you've changed your mind I'd get my new Audi And I'd do a big fat skid in front of you And literally leave you on my dust I couldn't deal with it So I'd need to

And if you're happy If that happens If you're like, I could deal with that Then that's to you know and if you're happy like if that happens if you're like I could deal with that then that's fine but I just couldn't yeah if you would like help with your gambling

the number you can call is oh I don't know the number but did we just start a syndicate yeah that's what a syndicate is

and they always turn out well I've seen on the news well if you guys want a syndicate we can do a weekly one it will actually no all you gotta do is transfer me seven no I've seen on the news. Well, if you guys want a syndicate, we can do a weekly one. No, no. All you've got to do is transfer me seven.

No. $3.50 each. A week. Yeah, I could do that. I could set up that. Oh, no. You missed the point. I said once.

One time. Yeah, cool. All right, we'll get it popping. Anyway, here's the podcast. Good luck to all the Lotto players tonight and see you soon. Hey Google, what's the time? It's 3pm

give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when are Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Good evening everybody, welcome to the show. Afternoon Brie. G'day guys, hello Clint.

We were just listening to the news, those trampers have been found. Yes, that's amazing news. We didn't realise they'd been missing for 18 days. Yeah, they've been gone nearly three weeks. No sign of them for nearly three weeks in the Kahurangi National Park, which I had no idea. I didn't even know where it was before this story. It's enormous.

How big is it? I couldn't tell you. Really big, obviously. Yeah, they had to bring in the Air Force today, and that's how they found them. Anyway, they haven't been able to search for them properly since Sunday because of bad weather, which makes you think even more that I didn't think they stood a chance.

So this is incredible news, and they only have minor injuries apparently. That's such good news. And you know what's crazy is that I always believe that I'm going to be in one of these situations at some point. Lost in the bush. Yeah, whenever I watch Bear Grylls, I'm always like, okay, remember these things, remember how to make that trap. Maybe they did.

And maybe watching that show did help them. Something must have, because you don't get through 18 days without some sort of knowledge of... Well, water's your main one, isn't it? Yeah. Did you learn that from Bear Grylls? I learned that from Bear Grylls. You can actually gather leaves,

and then you tie like a bag around the leaves, and then if it rains, all the water goes into the bag, bottom of the bag. Like a leaf gutter system. Yes. Oh, that's a good tip. Thanks, Brie. I'll take that one with me.

Hey, today we will be giving away another Daddy Bloomfield extravaganza bonanza. Today at four o'clock, someone is scoring $500 of laser hair removal. That is for everyone. Especially since lockdown. Yeah, I know. This is where you probably really need it. And I can vouch for it. I'm the poster girl for laser hair removal and it is worth every penny.

If you won the $500 laser hair removal voucher, where are we pointing the laser? Oh, I've got most spots done. Yeah. Probably my legs, I'd say. I haven't tackled that area yet. Can you laser your legs? Yeah. Like your whole legs?

You can laser anything you want. Really? Your face, your back. Could I laser my nostril hairs? Oh, that's a good question. I've never done laser hair removal before. Would it hurt? I'd say you could, yeah.

It doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as waxing, in my opinion. Yeah, right. Interesting. Well, if you want to buy it, if you want to win it, rather, you need to text DADDY to 9696.

Now, four o'clock, we draw our winner for that $500 of laser hair removal. Yeah, that's right. You'll be in the draw. Have you ever thought about what are the most rewatchable movies in the world? Well, I've looked it up and I'm going to give you that list next. Right, okay. You might watch

these as your regular, you know, re-watch movies, but if you don't, these might be a good one for the long weekend. We'll get into that after Mitch James on ZM. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. I was having a conversation with my partner the other night and we were talking about, I said

oh, this is the movie that I put on all the time to make me happy or whenever I just need something to watch. I think I've watched it about 40 times. Whoa. I haven't watched anything 40 times. You haven't watched anything twice. Nah.

I haven't watched a lot of things once, to be honest. Yeah, well, there you go. You're not a big movie fan. No. That's a lie. I'm just very selective. Very selective. I'm a big movie fan, but I have certain movies that I'll go through stages

where I'm like, oh, I need a bit of a pick-me-up or, you know, just something to put on where it makes you feel comfy and nice. That's why I could never get into the idea of buying DVDs. Because to me, once you've seen it, why would you watch it again? See? I don't understand. People are like, look at my DVD library. And I'm like, unless you haven seen it, why would you watch it again? See? I don't understand. Look at my DVD library and I'm like, unless you haven't seen half of that, that is worthless.

There's definitely movies that are in the you watch once. Yeah. And then there's definitely movies that you watch over and over again. Okay, give me some ideas. What's the movie for you? The movie for me is a movie which is very unusual. I don't think you definitely would have seen it.

But I think it was from 2016. It's a movie called How To Be Single. And it's with Dakota Johnson who was from Fifty Shades Of Grey and Rebel Wilson. Anyway, I've got a little clip from the movie here. Let me teach you how to be single. Go get us some drinks. Okay. No, you don't buy the drinks. Boys buy the drinks. Not with this wallet. Okay. With the sausage wallet. Sausage?

I won't say that again. Anyway, it's a comedy and it's just a feel good, kind of like Bridesmaids was one of my go-tos. Trashy movie, right? Yeah, yeah. And it's real funny and light. You're right, I haven't seen it. But it also has a really underlying great message in the movie. Sure.

That makes you feel like you can do anything and gives you confidence. Is it your breakup movie? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. I've definitely watched it in those circumstances where I'm like, I need to feel powerful or whatever. Okay.

What's your movie? I don't have one. You don't have one? No, like I said, I don't re-watch movies. When I was a teenager, I watched a lot of Zoolander. Okay. But that was just

because I thought it was funny and then I haven't watched it again probably since... I definitely wouldn't have watched it again in 10 years. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. Because once you...

It's not funny. I don't... Well, I've got a list here of movies that are the most re rewatchable films in the world. Okay. So let's see if you've rewatched any of these. Yeah. What about Shrek?

No. Sitting at number nine. No. Back to the Future. Oh, yeah. Is also very rewatchable, they say. Yeah. Home Alone, definitely.

No. Because it's a Christmas film. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, so you watch it every Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ghostbusters. No, I haven't seen Ghostbusters at all.

Oh, my Lord. I saw the remake. Oh, my God. Die Hard is number five. I haven't seen Die Hard. Which is also kind of a Christmas movie. Jurassic Park, one of the best. Now, there's a movie that was on a lot when I was a kid.

And you've re-watched it? No, I didn't re-watch it. Just my brothers. Have you, please tell me you've seen Jurassic Park. Oh, yeah, I've seen what? Yeah, I've seen Jurassic Park. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you sure?

Yeah, I've seen them all. Yeah, yeah. Once. And then the Shawshank Redemption is on here. See, Shawshank Redemption is a movie that you watch again when you want to make other people watch it. You go, oh, you've got to watch Shawshank Redemption. I'll watch it again with you.

It's one of the best. And Forrest Gump is sitting at number one as one of the most re-watchable films. Okay, no, I can get it. Great movie. I wonder if the producers, do you guys have that one movie that you just put on to make you feel good? Yeah. When I'm feeling sorry for myself and I just want to turn off any of the Harry Potters. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I just sit there and it's my comfort movie. You just go to a different world. Do you re-read the books? I have, but I'm not as committed to doing that. Ben? I've got two films, but my number one is a film called Into the Wild.

It's that Christopher guy that sort of just jumps off the radar and is like, that's it. I don't want to do anything. I want to go off for 20 years and just hike for years and years I was thinking of the one with Reese Witherspoon Similar idea Similar kind of thing Is she in a movie called Into the Wild? She's in one called Wild and she walks the Pacific Trail

Very similar I've seen Into the Wild I don't know if the Reese Witherspoon one has a happy ending. Into the Wild doesn't have a happy ending. Okay, so we all have picked very different films. But if you look at them... They suit your personality type. ...suit our personalities very well.

Yeah. And you just don't have one. Okay. We should find you one. We should find you one. I want to know from people On 0800 dial ZM You don't have one What is your go to movie

There's a lot of really good suggestions coming through. Mine is the movie with Rebel Wilson in it called How to Be Single.

If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour. It's quite funny. Trashy chick flick. Yeah, it's quite good. Is that a fair way to sum it up? But it's got a really nice, good message underneath. Is it on Netflix? It is. It's on Netflix. Yeah, so you can go have a that a fair way to sum it up? But it's got a really nice, good message underneath. Is it on Netflix? It is.

Anton, what's your go-to movie that you're happy to re-watch however many times? Sully with Tom Hanks in it. Really? Sully. The one where the guy lands the massive commercial plane on the Hudson River in New York. Yeah, Tom Hanks and his mates take off

four, five, six, seven. What else have we got? Star Wars, all of them. Indiana Jones is on there.

Madagascar, two. Not one, two. Yeah, right. But there's heaps. You can have a look through these, mate. Yeah. Out of those ones. No, I'm good with Step Brothers.

We're good. Okay, Step Brothers is yours now. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, is it a Selena song or was it a Rihanna song? Whose was it? This is the thing. So what people don't realise is the song called Same Old Love,

which was such a huge hit for Selena Gomez, was actually originally going to be Rihanna's. So here's the thing. These big songwriters will write these hits, pitch it out to different artists, and then someone will finally take the bait and someone will run with it and that's what happened. Have a listen to this.

This is Rihanna. This is her version of Same Old Love, which could have been a number one hit. I'm so sick of that same old love The shit, it tears me up I'm so sick of that same old love My body's had enough God, you'd be pissed off if you were Selena Gomez, eh?

That bit's got leaked. Can we hear Selena's version? Okay, yeah. Yeah, good point. This is Selena's that actually got released. Can we hear Selena's version? Okay, yeah. Yeah, good point. This is Selena's that actually got released. So it's legit exactly the same song.

So different. Rihanna's had a go and gone, nah, not for me. Selena can have it. Selena can have it. Do you think, Dean, do you think that

Selena knew that Rihanna had already said no? Do you think she knew she was getting sloppy seconds? Yeah, she might have known about it. I know that back in the day, you know that song Britney Spears' Toxic? That was originally going to be Kylie Minogue. Really? Kylie Minogue sung it. It was like, oh.

Kylie was like, nah, I don't think it's going to go anywhere. I don't want it. And, of course, it was one of Britney's biggest songs. Wow. Oh, I didn't know that. Who do you think suits the song better? Britney? It's hard to say now that we know it's a Britney song. But would it have suited

Kylie Minogue? That's the thing too. It can be a hit for someone else. It might not have been a hit for Kylie, right? But I mean, it was a massive hit for Britney. I think, to be honest, it sounds pretty good with Rihanna on it. But it also, I like that song with Selena Gomez singing it too. Yeah, interesting. Okay, that's The Goss from

D McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent live out of LA. Live out of LA. Yay! The latest is thanks to Pat Gonsai, Stickman. He's now got Instagram. You can check him out at instickman, I-N, stick man. His account is live.

Bri and Clint. Clint, I feel like everyone these days has become better at lip reading because of social media. How so? Because I feel like if you're in a relationship and you're staying up late or your partner's sleeping in, you're always scrolling through Instagram or you're on Facebook

and you have to get good at reading people's lips as to what they're saying online. Oh, because you can't have the volume up on your phone. Exactly. I've thought about this and I've thought that captions could be a good idea for Instagram stories. Well, most videos, when it has a caption, I'm more likely to watch it because I have to be quiet.

Yeah. Because I was doing it this morning and I was actually watching a Fletch Vaughan and Megan Instagram story. And I was trying to lip read what Megan was saying. Yeah. But it looked like something that she shouldn't be saying on the radio. And I was like, surely she can't be saying that.

And I went back afterwards when I was out of the room to check. It was very different. So you're not a good lip reader then? Apparently not. But I thought. Hard to lip read a whole conversation. Yeah, I know. Like I think I'd have a good chance at lip reading individual words or sayings,

but a whole conversation. And mate, that's why we're going to test it out this afternoon as to, you know, are we good lip readers? And it's with this little game. That doesn't have a name. But producer Ellie is going to be doing the adjudicating. Yes, hello. So what's happening, she's in the producer's booth.

She's going to say phrases or words. We don't know what she's come up with, but we're going to take our headphones out because we're sitting in the other room. So we're not going to be able to hear her, but everyone listening to the radio is. So they're going to know if we're close or if we're way off. Okay, I'll still be able to hear you and you

hear me, but we won't hear the producers out there. At all. Okay, are we ready? We're going to pull our headphones out. Last time we'll be able to hear you. Alright, goodbye. My headphones are out too. Alright, they can't hear me. And we're working together? We're working together. Okay, here we go.

Producer Ellie, give us the first phrase. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well, that's really long. Go, say again. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Paper, scissors, rock, Adam's apple, cross. Abstinence. Makes the heart grow fonder.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Yay! Okay, cool, okay, cool. Okay, cool, there's another one. abstinence... Makes the heart grow fonder. Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder. Yay! Okay, cool, okay, cool. Okay, cool. There's another one. That's a bloody hard one. All right. We're watching Kevlaire.

Hey, you all right? Hey, you all right? That's an easy one. That's an easy one. Good, yeah, good, good, good. We're good at this. Yeah, we're not bad. Okay.

May the force be with you. May the force be with you. May the force be with you. Yes. Well done. See, I don't watch Star Wars. Put your headphones back on. Okay, hold on. We're three from three.

You're doing well. You're doing well here. Have you got more? I've got more if you want. Oh, okay. Take your headphones out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll do another one.

Okay. Headphones are out. All right. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Who's... Wait, this is long. Go again. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Who's been hiding in my cupboard? Something of the sea at the end. Who lives in a pineapple under... Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Yay! That's nice! SpongeBob does. Alright, one more? One more, one more? Oh, God, that's nice. SpongeBob does.

All right, one more? One more, one more. Okay, yeah, one more. Brie and Clint smell like poo. We do not smell like poo. Brie. Oh, there you go. Hidden talents.

You can try it at home. Yeah, we're very good at this. Bree and Clint. Guys, it's been a little while, but I've got some big cat news. Oh, good. I'm glad. Big cat news. This is coming out of Australia,

and there's footage of some feral cats that have been filmed in the wild, which they're saying are really, really big. Right. So one of the feral cats was seen to be eating a goanna, which, I mean, if you haven't seen a goanna, it's a big lizard. It's huge. Can you give us, I mean, we don't have goanna. We don't have very many lizard here at all.

Because I think purple goanna, the drink, straight away. Right, right. But that doesn't give any all. Because I think purple goanna, the drink, straight away. Right, right. But that doesn't give any indication. How big's a goanna? I'm going to say it's like a couple, like maybe three laptops long. Oh. Eaten by a cat. Yeah.

Right, okay. A domestic cat. Yeah. And I was like, I didn't realise that there was like feral domestic cats like out in the outback in Australia. Yeah, well, that's where Ross Boss got his cat. Well, not in the outback of Australia, but in the desert in Dubai. Really?

Yeah, they've got heaps of feral cats over there. And they went home to their apartment one day and the cat was eating out of the rubbish bin. No way. And they decided to adopt it. Oh, cute. They have a wild cat. It's the cat with the bung eye.

Yeah, you've got a bung eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, cute. I didn't realise that's where they got him from. Oh, cute. They have a wild cat. It's the cat with the bung eye. Yeah, you've got a bung eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, cute. I didn't realise that's where they got him from. He's wild. Very cute. So apparently in Australia there's between 1.4 million when there's big drought periods, feral cats,

but they can reach up to 5.6 million. Right. Just roaming the wild. That's a lot of cats. Isn't it? That's a ton of cats. Anyway, so I thought I'd give you a comparison. So, you know, people are like, oh, big deal.

It's a cat out in the wild. So apparently like domestic cats, what, range between like three, five kilos? Yeah, it's exactly what they range between. About that. Yeah, whenever I take my cats into the vet and they're hovering around the 5kg mark, the vet's like, oh, come on, guys. Too much. Too much.

You need to chill out. So apparently, these cats that were photographed are around 8 or 9 kilos. Whoa! So, that's a big-ass domestic cat. That's my dream. Because the bigger the better when it comes to a cat. If you could get one, and

you could, obviously, I know they're feral, but if you could domesticate it, how fun would that be to have around the house? It'd be like a dog, but it's a cat. Cat. Because that's dog size. That's small dog size, right? That's a small dog, yeah.

Yeah. Interesting. Is that one there? That's the cat right there. Sorry, we're looking at photos of it. So that's an adult one. It looks like a baby tiger. It does kind of, yeah.

And you know what the beauty of it is? It doesn't have the tiger teeth, and that's why you could have it. It still has cat teeth. Yeah, but cat teeth, schmack teeth. have the tiger teeth and that's why you could have it. It still has cat teeth. Yeah, but cat teeth, schmack teeth. Not like tiger teeth, are they? Yeah, I figure. What is the name of those big giant cats that people have as pets?

Tigers. No. No. Oh, you mean mancoons. Mancoon cat, yeah. Mancoons. Mancoon. Not mancoon.

Mancoon. Sorry, I don't know. Mancoon. Mancoons, yeah. Mancoons, thank you. Some Coon. Sorry, I don't know. Maine Coon. Maine Coons, yeah. Maine Coons. Some people get them because they do get enormous. Yeah. And when we were looking at cats, they go,

you should get one because you can put them on a leash and take them for a walk. I've never seen someone successfully do that. They don't like it. No, that's the rumour that Maine Coons can be trained to go for a walk. Why you'd want to, I don't know, but you can. Might be fun. Yeah. I mean, I'm not judging anyone. I mean, want to, I don't know, but you can. It might be fun. Yeah.

I mean, I'm not judging anyone. I mean, as kids, we didn't have any, we had cats. We had heaps of cats. We love cats. But we mainly had a giant dog. What sort of dog did you have? We had, she was the best dog in the whole world. She was a bull mastiff crossed with a wolfhound.

And if anyone knows those two type of breeds, they're both really big. So she, I think when she was like at her peak, she was about 55 to 60 kilos. She was a big dog. Did she sleep on the bed? Yeah. Yeah, right. She was an inside dog. She loved it. She absolutely loved it.

But I wanted to ask people listening, is this you? Do you have a giant pet? Like a pet that might be bigger than usual? Have you weighed it? Have you weighed it? Do you know how much? We'll take any type of pet. Dogs, cats, horses? Yeah, we'll take a horse. We'll take a horse. But you've got to impress us if it's the horse. Like Farlap was a big horse, wasn't he? I don't know. But we also don't know what's big for a horse. That's true. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to text my friend Matt who's a

horse guy. Yeah. I'm going to say what is the How many hands? No I'm going to say what's the average weight of a horse but I won't reveal that information and then you tell us how much your horse weighs and then I'll decide from there whether we're impressed or not. Alright. 0800 dial ZM. If it's horse that you're angling

towards. If that's what you want to call them out. 0800 dial ZM. If it's horse that you're angling towards. If that's what you want to call them out. 0800 dial ZM. How big is your pet? Brianne Clint. Talking big pets. After this story came out of Australia of these feral cats that were photographed, apparently eight or nine kilos just roaming the wild and eating goannas. Catch American.

You reckon? There's money in that. I mean, I don't mean to sound like a cat pimp, but someone would pay for a nine kilo cat if you can domesticate it. I mean, Tiger King's pretty popular. Exactly right. He kind of looks kind of like a tiger.

Call Carol Baskin from Big Cat Rescue. Yeah, she'll rescue it. Yeah, get her out there. So we're asking you on 0800DIALS at M, do you have a very large pet? Jo's here. Hey, Jo. Hi, Jo.

Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. What do you have a very large pet? Jo's here. Hey, Jo. Hi, Jo. Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks. What do you have, Jo? I have a Clydesdale, Corky. He is 17 hands high, so he's just over 1.72 centimetres tall, and he weighs just short of a tonne. Cute! Whoa!

I love those horses. That's so nice. Whoa. How long have you had him for? Just over a year now. So, yeah, I got him from Christchurch, and he's very cool. What do you use a Clydesdale for? Is he pulling a plough?

He has done all that, but I just do pleasure hacking, so we just ride now. You ride him? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah. We just ride. I didn't know you rode a Clydesdale. Are your hips sore after that? Do you know what I mean?

Your hips would be really wide. Yeah, you'd have bow legs. Yeah. Right? Yeah, right. That's amazing. Thanks, Joe. How heavy is that baby in the background? Oh. Big baby? 26 kilos. 26 kilos. Big baby.

All right, Jo, thank you for your call. Let's talk to Danielle. Danielle, what's your big pet? Hey, I have a Maine Coon cross. George. So this is, wait, so it's a Maine Coon, which is the cat we were talking about before. The big cat.

and how big are we talking? he's 8kgs 8kgs of cat that's a big cat yeah but that's what you want everybody loves a weighty cat no one likes a sassy

skinny bitch cat do they? exactly you want a big thick you know within healthy reasons monster you want a big monster

he's fluffy too so he looks bigger than that as well. What's his name? George. George. George, I love that name. George, okay, eight kilos of cat, that's good. Let's get that in there.

Sharon, what have you got? Hi, Shaz. Hi, I've got Pilchard. Pilchard? And he is just a cat, again. Okay. But he's 13 kilos. 13 kilos? Yes. Okay. But he's 13 kilos. 13 kilos!

Yes. I hate to ask, but is he fat? Not overly, because he's really, really long. That's what I tell the vet when they tell me off. I tell the vet,

a tall person has more weight, so a tall cat can have more weight. You've got a tall cat. I love the idea of a cat being tall. Yes, I tell the vet a tall person has more weight, so a tall cat can have more weight. You've got a tall cat. I love the idea of a cat being tall. Yes, and he's got great big hunter-way paws, is what I call them. Large foot beans. He took a lot to grow into.

How much is Pilchard eating? How much is he? Well, he's on a diet. Is he? How old is he? And it's not working. Okay, you're a good cat mum, Sharon. Thank you for talking to us.

Loves to chow down. I don't believe this, but we're going to beat Pilchard. Jess, you've got an even bigger cat. Welcome to the show. What are we talking about? How big's yours? So we've got a tabby cat that moved in with our elderly neighbours and the carer's there weighed her and she's 14 kilos.

Oh, damn. Are you sure it's not a small jaguar or something? Yeah. No, it's definitely a cat. The lady there was ill and she kept falling out of her chair so they put the cat on her lap to keep her still. Like a sandbag. A cat weight.

Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, right. For those who don't understand, sandbag. A cat weight. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, right. For those who don't understand, 14 kilos. It's huge. The healthy weight range for a cat is three to five kilos. So you're talking three or four times the size of a regular cat. It's a big cat. Yeah.

Yeah. It was massive, just little legs sticking out the bottom. Oh. They call her Log. Log. I love it. Thanks, Jess. And finally, Robin, you've got a big pet.

What is it? He's a Leonberger. What's a Leonberger? Oh, my God. Have you never seen a Leonberger? I don't know what a Leonberger is. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Robin, that's the biggest breed of dog in the world, isn't it?

I couldn't tell you. I know he's crossed with a Great Dane and a Saint Bernard and a mountain, yeah. A Burmese mountain dog? I met one once and I was almost eye to eye with him. He looks like a Saint Bernard, kind of. What's the name of the Leonberger first? Stara.

Stara? Stara. Stara. Stara. And how much does Stara, the Leonberger, weigh? He's just under 80 kilos. Wow. That.

Wait. He would weigh more than you, I'm assuming. Well, not quite, I wish. But anyway. Moving along. Don't worry, Robin. Me neither. Me neither, Robin.

Feed that dog up, Robin. Get it up there. Hey, if you're thinking about going on a holiday, I'm sure everyone in New Zealand has seen this, but how's this latest thing from Japan where they're like, pretty much we'll pay you to come to Japan? Yeah, every country in the world

is going to try different things to get their tourism industry moving again. And Japan are willing to throw some money at you. $18 billion to be exact, not for just one person. But it's $18 million plan to pretty much subsidise. $18 billion plan. $18 billion, sorry, to subsidise holidays for tourists. Have you seen how it works?

So is it essentially like they pay for a certain amount of nights in a hotel or something? Kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you are willing to go to Japan, you register with the government for this program and for every two nights that you book in a hotel, they'll give you a third one free.

Right. So if you stay there six nights, you get two free, nine, you get three free. Gotcha, gotcha. It works like that. So yeah, they give you a little free one every now and then, like a coffee card. And then you also get –

If you stay here for three nights, we'll give you the fourth one for free. Yeah, exactly right. Stamp your card. And then they're also doing free access to museums and archaeological sites. Right, because I saw Sicily was doing the same thing. Oh, okay. They were literally, yeah, they're offering the same kind of deal, putting heaps of money back into the tourism.

There's going to be incredible tourism deals, travel deals coming up. Airlines are going to have to do crazy prices to get people moving. Countries are going to offer you things like this. It got me thinking about what New Zealand should do once the border is open. Yeah, what do you think?

So I think that, obviously we need to fill the hotels up and stuff too, but then another option, what if the government offered us some money to billet people? Remember the billet, do you have the billeting system? I only ever got billeted.

On like school trips? Yeah, like on a school or sporting trip. That's what I'm talking about. You go, okay, I'll have- How do you have someone come to your house? Yeah, I have a couple of German backpackers come and stay in my flat. Maybe one of your flatmates has left early and you've got a spare room going, or you

want to sleep on the couch for a week and give them your room, then the government pays you as if you're the hotel. Oh, yeah, don't mind that. Is that a way of doing it? Yeah. Don't mind it. And then you can up the deal. You can offer continental breakfast.

Right. Or full cooked breakfast as well, depending on what you're capable of. Yeah, massages. That's creepy isn't it? Well as long as you're not as long as they're not mandatory messages massages.

Yeah. If you have like a menu of things that you could get. If you want to get a massage. You could offer them a haircut. A haircut would be good.

What else could you offer? Probably just not free reign of the TV. That's where I draw the line. Yeah, but you'd have to offer up the Wi-Fi password, surely. Okay, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, free Wi-Fi too. I can give that over.

But yeah, that's all right. Anyway, Japan is an option. From July, they're going to start offering that. So when does the country open though? No idea. They still don't know? No. But they're hoping.

I think they're hoping they can do something. Oh, well, fingers crossed. I mean, I've been to Japan and it's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. So, good option. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As it heralds new podcasts, the front page is your short, sharp daily news podcast.

Join me, Damian Venuto, every weekday morning as I chat with journalists and newsmakers going behind the headlines to break down what you need to know on the biggest news stories of the day. Listen to the front page at nzherald.co.nz slash podcasts and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever

you get your podcasts. Bree and Clint. I think I just need an answer on if we're going to get this giant bubble between New Zealand and Australia. Oh, yeah. When is it happening? Yeah, me too.

I want to know if I can go to the Goldie this summer. Well, I mean, you know, it'd be great for both countries and I understand we need to wait until it's the right time. Of course. But we're going to help each other's tourism. We're going to put money back into each other's countries. I want to go to Wet n' Wild. My new dick togs aren't going to wear themselves, you know?

Please don't say dick togs on the radio again. Sorry. Sorry, my new... Budgie smugglers. Speedo is not going to wear itself. Your banana hammock. Yeah, you know what I mean. Exactly.

But I think it'd be great for everyone. And, you know, I'm super keen because I've got my family over there. I'd love to visit them at some point. Of course, yeah. You know, it was funny for a while. We'd love you to visit them too. Yeah, I bet you would.

Just for a break. I thought, you know what we could do on behalf of New Zealand as a country? We could give Australia, the country, a call. Oh, okay. And just ask them where they're at. You know, what's the timeline like over there? In this scenario, will you be representing New Zealand? Yeah, I'll just say I'm calling on behalf of New Zealand, the country.

Just wanted to see, you know, what's happening over there. Where are you guys at with everything? This could be helpful for a lot of people. Yeah. Because we're not getting a straight answer out of any of the politicians, either side of the Tasman. We've got to go straight to the source, and the source is the Pineapple Hotel in Brisbane,

Queensland. Pineapple Hotel, this is Prue. Hi, Prue. My name's Bree. I'm just calling on behalf of New Zealand, the country. Yeah. Prue, quick question for you. Look, I know there's been a bit of talk around, you know,

us including you guys in our bubble and you guys including us in your bubble. I just want to know where you guys were at with that. Are we opening the bubbles or what? I have no idea. Have you heard any news? It's not my decision. Yeah, well, I know you guys all chat to ScoMo or however it works. Have you heard any news from the big dog?

Like, has he made up his mind yet? I'm not sure yet, I'm sorry. I have not kept up to date with that sort of stuff. But I don't know. I don't know. Maybe try someone else. Are you guys keen, though, like as a country? Are the Aussies keen to include New Zealand?

Yeah, definitely. See, so it's not the people then that's putting a stop to this. It's SOMO, isn't it? No, I don't think it's the people. Hey, Bru, it's Clint here. I also represent New Zealand. Hello. Just jumping in to support Brie, who, it's Clint here. I also represent New Zealand. Just jumping in to support

Bree, who, just so you're clear, has absolute consent to represent all of New Zealand in this phone call. That's fine. Even though she's from Queensland. Weird. We just really needed to gauge your keenness and you said you're keen because we're very keen. She sounds keen to me. Yeah, we just don't want to do

that thing where we're too keen and you're not that keen and you're just leading us on. So before we put all this effort into organising our bubble date, you're definitely keen. Definitely keen. If you represent all of New Zealand, I'll represent all of Australia. Yeah. And we're keen.

Okay, cool. We're all keen. Can you, as a representative of Australia, just let everyone know, maybe send out a tweet or something, and just let the country know that we're going forward? Yeah, of course I can. Of course. That'd be great.

You've been so helpful, Prue, and much more, you know, helpful than the Prime Minister, so we appreciate your time. Oh, good. Thank you very much. Good. Anytime. Happy to help. See you soon, I guess.

Yeah, see you soon. All right. See you soon. See you, Prue. Bye. That was actually very helpful from us. And you know what? I feel like we should have went straight to them guess. Yeah, see you soon. All right, see you soon. See you, Prue. Bye. That was actually very helpful from us. And you know what? I feel like we should have went straight to them first.

Yeah, right? Yeah. Well done. Time for Nickname Origins. Pretty simple game. You guys call us up on 0800-DIALS-ZM. You tell us what your nickname is, and you and I, Clint, try and guess where they got it from.

Yep. Best nickname origin story wins free mobile fuel. We'll start with Avril. Hi, Avril. Hi. Hi. What's your nickname, Avril? My nickname is Boner.

Wait. Her nickname's... Her nickname is Boner. Okay. I would understand if you were a man. Yeah, because there could have been an embarrassing story Could have been an embarrassing teenage... Yeah, right.

But you, Avril, a respectable woman, you had to have given someone one. I'm sorry, but you had to have... There has to be some sort of story attached to it. Yeah. Avril, did you give someone a... Boner?

No. Right. What is it? So, my husband's last name is Boner, and I obviously married into that, and so I get called a boner. A boner. So, it's spelt B-O-N-E-R?

B-O-N-N-E-R. A bonus. So it's spelt B-O-N-E-R? B-O-N-N-E-R. Close enough. Doesn't matter when you're trying to give someone a nickname. Okay, wait there, Avril. That's a bit rough. He would have had it his whole life as well. Ashley, hi. Hi, guys. How's it going? Good, thanks. How are you? I love the theme. This is great.

Wait, is there a theme? We're on a theme apparently. So my nickname was Little Pecker. Seven years. Did you say Little Pecker? Yeah. You've been called Little Pecker for the last seven years.

When I was a little kid for seven years, no one down where I live now knew that, thank God, because now we're probably bringing it back if somebody hears this. Yeah, right. But, you know, I was called Little Picker for about seven years. Who gave you the nickname? I don't know.

You guess. Yeah, that's on us. She's good. She's good. It's got to be because she was really small. A little nose. Does she have a tiny, cute little nose? Little picker on her?

Little picker. Or she gave tiny little kisses? Little pecks? Said when she was young. Yeah. Like a kid. So I reckon she was like the? Said when she was young, like a kid. So I reckon she was like the youngest kid or she was the smallest out of everyone.

They gone, oh, the little picker. Or she's rolling a little picker. She's just picking a little picker down there. I don't think that's it. Or she loved to chew on trees. Oh, like Woody the woodpicker. I don't know. You pick one for this one.

I've got nothing. I reckon it's because you were the smallest in the family, Ashley. Well, I guess kind of. Well, my brother, well, my maiden name was Peck and they called my brother Pecker

and so then I became Little Pecker but I had no idea what it meant so I thought it was the coolest nickname and I had a Hotmail account that was Little Pecker at Hotmail.com and it's like... I thought it was the coolest nickname, and I had our Hotmail account that was LittlePicca at Hotmail.com. There you go.

I don't think we can give ourselves a point for that. No. No. No point. Okay, wait there, LittlePicca. We'll come back to you. And finally, James. Hi, James.

How you going? Almost scared to ask your nickname this afternoon. Is there a theme? What's your nickname? Muffin. Muffin. Oh, there is a theme. Kind of. Muff. Kind of. There definitely is. theme what's your nickname uh muffin muffin oh there is a theme kind of

muff kind of there definitely is is he rolling a muffin top has he got a muffin top that's what i thought which is a very harsh nickname oh some people love a muffin top you know i mean the best part the best part of the muffin is the bit that spills over, you know? Something to hold on to. It's the most delicious part of the muffin. Muffin. Muffin. It could be either he's rocking a muffin top.

Yeah. He loves... A muffin. Yep. Or, oh, that one, yeah. Which we won't say that out loud. We won't. We'll just, oh, what do we?

If that's it, how have the producers put this through? Well, let's go with it. James, do you love a muffin? I do, but that's not how I got it. Is it a muffin top? No, not that either. Why do they call you Muffin? When I was 13 at rugby, one of the boys found a muffin in the gutter

and brought it along and said his mum made it. And then I smashed it back and they all started running around and called me Muffin. Muffin, because you ate a gutter muffin. So it is because... You love a muffin. Yeah, exactly. Okay, wait there.

You've won some free Mibble Fuel this afternoon. Oh, you beauty. You beauty. Nice work mobile fuel this afternoon. Oh, you dirty. You dirty. Nice work.

Go down there. Buy yourself a real muffin. Yeah, go over to the cabinet and grab yourself something delicious that doesn't come from the gutter, okay? Yeah, I will. I will. Free and Clint. Free and Clint.

Was it this time yesterday we were having a conversation about laundry? It was at 4 o'clock, I think. Right, we had a chat about laundry and clothes that go in the limbo zone, which is fine. Everybody accepts it. That's fine. They're not quite dirty enough to go in the dirty clothes basket, but they're not completely clean enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Within that chat, I feel I may have scratched the surface on a long-held woman's secret. I didn't realise this was a secret. Maybe it's not, but it was definitely a secret to me. I feel bad if it is. The only other male representative I have here is producer Ben. Ben, was this a surprise to you when you learned this detail? Yeah.

Maybe it's just a me and producer Ellie thing. I don't know. Maybe, and that's what we're going to find out today. I'm pretty sure it's not though. Brie, please reveal the factoid, the female factoid, that you let slip on the show yesterday. I don't know if I want to now. Well, it's already been said.

I said yesterday on the show when we were talking about laundry, particular items I don't wash for long periods of time, like my jeans, I go a number of wears before I wash them. And one of the big ones that goes a number of wears before I wash it is my bras. A number of wears? How many wears? Oh, it depends what season it is. I'm going to say in winter, so the current season we're in.

Let's say the bra you're wearing right now. How long has it been since that bra saw the inside of a washing machine? Oh, I want to say a solid three weeks. Three weeks. Yeah, nice. Three weeks to a month, I think, is the limit. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, like this one's due.

Ali over there is applauding you. And are you applauding her because that's fairly fresh in your books? Or she's made it last that long? Where are you on the spectrum? Yeah, so I'm a two to three weeker. Yeah. Yeah, I try to do more like two. But if I go three, ah, well.

I rotate them. Yeah, exactly. So I feel like they get a chance to air out. Yeah, agreed. The cups get a chance to air out. I like three, ah, well. I rotate them. Yeah, exactly. So I feel like they get a chance to air out. Yeah, agreed. The cups get a chance to air out. I like it, yeah. Now, I'll give you my perspective. Yeah.

And I believe this is the perspective of Ben as well. I thought a bra was underwear. So I was of the belief that the bra... It's upperwear, to be honest. Yeah. But in the same category. I would have thought that the bra went in the washing machine each day, much like the undies.

It's just what I thought. I know you guys are complex beings, but that's how I thought the system we were all operating to. Ellie, are you with me on this? Underwear hits a really prominent fragrance zone. Whereas a bra, I mean, although close to a fragrance zone, I mean

I wouldn't say hits any fragrance zones. No. There's no... What about your armpits? Yeah, it's not touching my armpits. Nah. Neither. Also, bras are very expensive,

and the washing machine ruins them if you wash it too much. Otherwise, look out. Otherwise, the washing machine ruins it. Yeah, but suck it up, buttercup. Everything, like, you've got to... Like, I understand. I don't enjoy buying undies either, but I love washing them. Like, I love oh wait oh sorry i forgot we were talking to the

guy who doesn't even have to wear a bra no and i understand i understand that i understand that and i'm not here to woman shame because i'm not uh i'm a i'm a devout i'm gonna know i'm a devout feminist and i'm just saying it was an it saying it was an amazing insight into how you operate. Isn't that weird that you guys would have no idea about that because you don't have bras. We don't have the bits. No. So you wouldn't ever have that kind of problem.

So you're a three-weeker? I'm a three-weeker, yeah. Ellie? Two to three, yeah. Two to three-weeker? I've got a question that I would love to ask the women of New Zealand listening this afternoon, and I would love some honesty. How long between washes for your bra?

Are we talking, because I'm not, when I'm a three-weeker, I don't wear that bra every single day. Same. So how many bras are in the rotation? Oh. Carry the one. Two. No, there's more than two.

Four. I'm going to say there's three or four. I've got three. Three or four, there's more than two. Four. I'm going to say there's three or four. I've got three. Three or four, yeah. So it gets at least... So it gets seven days minimum. Yeah. Seven days minimum.

Minimum, yeah. All right, phone lines are open. And even though I sound shocked and shaken and shooketh, it is a safe space, so... I love on the text machine it's not, Nah, Bree and Ellie, that's rank. Men, stick and Ellie, that's rank. Men stick around too because this is an incredible, like you guys, we don't see this side of you that often.

Hey, we're letting you in. It's not going to be, you know, take what you can get. I'd love as many ladies on the phone as possible. How long between washes for the brass? That's right. How many wears before you wash? Brie and Clint. We have opened Pandora's box.

It's a can of worms in here. We've unhooked Pandora's bra. Please understand that I am coming from a position of ignorance and I'm acknowledging that. Oh, no, we know you are. I just didn't know and I'm fascinated. Brie let slip on the show yesterday that it's very, I don't know, and I'm fascinated. Bree let slip on the show yesterday that it's very, I don't choose my words carefully.

Your bra is not the most washed item of clothing you own. No, I don't think so. And there's a number of reasons for it. One, bras are very expensive. So we don't have heaps of them. And two, they can get quite damaged in the wash. And three, I just don't think they need it. This blew my mind, and you'll get me in with this.

How much do bras cost? I think, personally, like a really good supportive bra will cost you $60 to $70. $60 or $70 a bra? If you have a larger hair, like me, you need to spend more money. For more material. Yes. More suspension. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like me, you need to spend more money. For more material. Yes. More suspension. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I just want to know, and I've asked for some honesty and boy, have the phones flooded with women willing to be very honest. How often do you wash them? Right. So I've said, I think the standard two or three weeks, I've got about three bras that I rotate. So they'd get about five or six wears before I wash it.

And let's see where you fit in the spectrum. Amy's here. Hi, Amy. Actually, hang on. We'll come back to you, Amy. Let's start with Crystal. Hi, Crystal. Hi, Crystal.

Hi. How are you doing? Good, thanks. How often are you washing your brassieres? Well, I have four that I've never washed, and they range between eight and ten years and four years old. Crystal, you have a bra that's ten years old and you've never washed it? Yep.

Crystal, you are blowing my mind here. It's not white, is it? It's definitely not white now. never washed it. Yep. You are blowing my mind here. It's not white, is it? It's definitely not white now. No, it's not. Now, firstly, there's several reasons for it. Firstly, I'm a bigger busted lady. Yeah, preach it, girl. Congratulations. So, the bra itself

is $70. Then there's all of the embellishments on it. So, it's about $200 worth of just for that one bra. What are we talking embellishments? Have you got tassels? So rhinestones and apricots and stuff like that on it. Wow, okay. All right.

That's my performance stuff. But my normal bras, I think I've got, I'm just counting them now. Crystal, Crystal. Crystal, Crystal, Crystal. You can't just breeze over, that's my performance bra. What line of work are you in? I'm a ballet performer. Oh my

God, amazing. Yeah, right. No wonder. That'd be worth a fortune. Yeah, so we can't just chuck those sorts of things on the washing machine. So you've got to actually use vodka and water to spray the garment to get rid of the smell and all the bacteria and stuff. I get it.

But I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson would have washed the sparkly socks every now and then. Yeah, but socks don't have an underwire. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And they don't have, you know, rhinestones. He wouldn't be dancing on rhinestones because that's just painful. Yeah, right.

Just before you go, what about your everyday bras? How often are your everyday bras getting washed? So I have about 20 of them. Yeah. And they get worn once and then washed. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay, there's a huge contrast.

Very different. We need some more input. Jenna, hi, welcome to the show. Hi. Welcome to a conversation about bras led by a man. I understand. Thanks for mansplaining. No, I'm man questioning.

Man questioning. How often? Well, there's lots of variables, right? It's like, do you use the bra to actually do something? Or have you got tiny tits that doesn't really matter? You know what I mean? Or is it winter? Is it summer? Yeah. I'm asking you specifically. Have you been working matter? You know what I mean? Or is it winter? Is it summer?

Yeah. I'm asking you specifically. Have you been working out? You specifically. The bra you have on right now, when was the last time it got washed? Okay, so this bra was last washed at the weekend, but I would say that you don't measure it in weeks.

And I think this is what's freaking you guys out, is that weeks thing. I think you measure it in wears. Yeah, that's what I said. Five wears is about right for me, I think. Somewhere about five wears is that weeks thing. I think you measure it in wears. Yeah, that's what I said. Five wears is about right for me, I think. Somewhere about five wears is right. Yes. Unless it's summer and you've got big boobs like me, sweaty, sweaty.

I'm not putting it back on if I've sweated in it. Yeah, you don't want a swamp. God, this is fascinating. You don't want swamp boobs, am I right? Swamp cleave. Oh, nobody wants that, love. No one wants that. Okay, we'll get Amy on.

Amy's here. Hi. Hey, how's it going? Can No one wants that. Okay, we'll get Amy on. Amy's here. Hi. Hey, how's it going? Can you shed some light on this, Amy? Are you a five-wear type of gal before you wash your bra? I'm a four-week straight. Four weeks. And how many bras are you rotating?

Just one. I'm part of the itty bitty Titty committee It doesn't sweat, there's nothing there I'm part of the itty bitty titty committee too You really are, you're the president Yeah, right But I wash my t-shirts

But your t-shirts Buy your armpits, which sweat How much was your t-shirt? Yeah, but your t-shirts buy your armpits, which is weird. How much was your t-shirt? Yeah, $15. Can I ask you, Amy, because Clint and I were talking about this. I said it's very different, in my opinion, for sports bras. One wear and it's washed.

Yeah, one or two. Two max. See, I'm washing it every time. Fascinating. This is an absolutely intriguing pair inside the shirts of New Zealand's women. So thank you for providing that. Yeah.

Now can you please hook my bra back up? Bree and Clint. Just to close out the bra conversation. Yeah. I'm going to leave it alone. Okay. I just wanted to read this text that's come in. They said,

There is such a faint line between bravery and stupidity. Wouldn't you agree? Keep dancing that line, Clint. I think I erred on the side of compassionate intrigue. I hope I didn't come in at the... I'd hate to think that I came off either judgmental or pervy. So do you think I managed to stay clear of either of those two character traits in my conversation about women's intimates? I mean, I didn't feel uncomfortable.

And I'll take that. Good. Do I think you said a few stupid things? Maybe. But with love. With love. With love. Okay, good.

All right, I'm happy. I'll take that. We can move on. All right, let's do a birthday banger for a Wednesday. We'll take your birthdays and we'll figure out what was number one on your 16th. First person, Steve. Hello, Steve. G'day, Steve.

That's the winner of Birthday Banger today. Oh, it just makes me feel like I want someone to lift me up. Right in the water, yeah. Not even in the water. Practice in the water first. Always practice in the water first. That song means so much more to me now that I've seen Dirty Dancing. Like, I don't know what I was waiting for.

When did you watch it? Over the summer holidays. I can't believe you'd never seen Dirty Dancing. Yeah. No, but it's great. It's a great movie. If you haven't seen it, it's a great movie. People know they've seen it. No, I'm just saying if you haven't, it's a good option.

It is very good. Good option. Patrick Swayze taking out Fergie and London Beats today. Can we get to play some good music in Birthday Banger? I really liked this one too. I know. It was a tough call. And I didn't mind the Fergie song

either, London Bridge. And then there goes, Chica Papa. This is a story for the people who know that they can't have nice things. Yeah, I've recognised that I'm one of those. Yeah, you might be a bit rough with things, which I am.

I don't mean to be, but I'm a bit of a Gumby. I lose things. Yeah. I'm too, yeah, rough with things. I could never not have a case on my phone. Yeah, same. Or you might just be a bit forgetful, which I also am. Like I'm prone to losing things.

It's why I don't have fancy sunglasses because I know they'll just go. You've got not bad sunglasses though. Yeah, but they're my wife's sunglasses. So you're willing to put her items at risk? No, they're the ones she doesn't wear anymore. It's a low risk item. Currently I have a nice thing.

I have one of those fancy blunt umbrellas. Yep. You know, if you know fancy blunt umbrellas. Yep. You know, if you know the blunt umbrellas, you know. It was a gift that someone gave me and when I got it, I thought, oh, it's too much umbrella for me. Well, because it's too fancy.

It's too fancy. It's a really, yeah, nice umbrella. The blunt umbrella is a lovely umbrella and tis the season. But I know that me as a person I'm likely to lose it. Yeah, isn't it ridiculous? Like I have PJ who used to do this show. Jason PJ's old umbrella that she left. Yeah, it's a minging

dirty pink umbrella. And I can't literally lose it to save myself. No. But as soon as I got a nice one. If you got a nice one I'd lose it And this is a story for you then Isn't it ridiculous? Anyway, I've decided life is short

Okay And use the umbrella, you know? Yeah, I'd say that Car pay DM, seize the day I mean, you know If you lose it, you lose it If you lose it, you lose it I don't want to lose it

And like I said, it was a gift I'd hate to lose it Yeah But what am I going to do? Not use it? Like, don't die wondering You can't, yeah, you can't. Yeah, exactly.

So this is the week I started using it. I bought it out on Monday, raining. Great, used the blunt umbrella. I've had it for about six months. Oh my God. And you've not used it for six months. And I've not used it once. No.

And so Monday, bought it out, used it. Got it home. Awesome. Great day. Arrived home with the umbrella. Yesterday, day two, finished work, reached for the umbrella. I audibly said, finished work, reached for the umbrella. I audibly said, and I don't know if you were in the room at the time,

I audibly congratulated myself on making it to the end of day two with the umbrella. Yeah, I do remember. I said the words. And I was like, oh, okay, well, props on yourself. I know, props, big ups me. I was like, well done me. I'm succeeded.

You managed to keep an umbrella for two days, not that big of a deal. So then I walked to the car park with the umbrella and used it. You were with me. I was like, well done me. You managed to keep an umbrella for two days. Not that big of a deal. So then I walked to the car park with the umbrella and used it. You were with me. We used the umbrella. Yes. Got in the car. Good. Heading home. Driving up, if you know Auckland City, Hobson Street to get on the motorway. Yeah. In my own little bubble.

Put my foot down on the traffic light. Took off. Saw the umbrella go flying over the windscreen of my car, looked in the rearview mirror. The umbrella goes up into the sky, does about three flips and crashes down into the middle of the intersection outside the police station. In peak hour Auckland traffic.

Oh, no. And I went, shit, this is why I can't have noise things. I literally left the umbrella. You know where the window wipers are on the car? Yeah, that's where you left it. I left it there while I got my keys out and got in the car to drive home. Two days! Two days

I lasted with that umbrella. Where was Mary Poppins when you needed her, right? Oh, that's horrible. Look, it hasn't been a great year. There hasn't been a lot of good news so far, apart from the obvious. Last week we heard about murder hornets. Remember murder hornets?

Yeah, not ideal. Not ideal. Not here, so don't worry about that. No murder hornets here in New Zealand yet. But I've got another one for you, and I don't keep meaning to be the bearer of bad news and only bring you horrific stories. Bad attitude cats.

No, not bad attitude cats. Slightly worse. That would be bad. Cannibal rats. Cannibal rats! Cannibal rats, or as I'm liking to call them Zombie rats They're the hot new trend In cities like London And New York

What do you mean They're the hot new trend Well Get this Since people Have left the cities They've taken over They're taking over

Well not so much Taking over Rats would usually Thrive off Scraps that fall on the ground From restaurants And commuters Who drop some food Here and there That sort of of thing. Yeah, I've seen Ratatouille. Yeah, you're exactly right. But without people around, there's nothing for the rats to eat.

And the rats are not giving up without a fight. So they have started eating each other. Rats, this is a quote from one of the city workers who's dealing with these cannibal rats. A new army of rats will move into an area. So they're all as a crew. And they'll go, there's already a crew of rats in there. And they'll go, this is our hood now. We're in charge. And other rats are like, no, no, get off our turf.

This is our turf. It's a hood rat. And then they'll, yeah, hood rats in the hood. And then they'll have a rat fight. And the losers. I've seen a rat fight. It's a hood rat. Yeah, hood rats in the hood. And then they'll have a rat fight, and the losers... I've seen a rat fight. It's crazy. The losers get eaten by the other rats. This story is so grim.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. Like I said, it's not a good year. Really not. What's next? I don't know. There's no point theorising what's coming next. We'll deal with this first.

But I wonder if cannibal rats will eventually just eat all the... We end up with no rats. Could it be a good thing? Is this a way of getting rid of rats? Or do we breed a super rat who's ultra ripped? You know, a rat who only eats meat and wins every single fight? Are we going to create like a Dwayne the Rock Johnson of rats? Or I did see on a documentary one time you can teach rats how to cook in a kitchen.

No more ratatouille. No, no more ratatouille. Bree and Clint, back in a moment. Zed in. Rats. Bree and Clint. Look, I'm trying to organise something at the moment for you and me to do, Bree, and I'm not feeling a lot of support from you.

Couples counselling. No, it's not couples counselling. You want couples counselling? I'll do it with you. Yeah, I wouldn't mind it. Invest in your relationships. You get a lot out of it, I'd say. Yeah, you want to go to couples counselling?

I mean, you have to ask me out first, but I'll go to counselling with you. That's fine. No, I've told you what it is. I'm trying to get you to do the Bronco test with me. So those who missed it, last week, Broden Barrett set a New Zealand record for the Bronco, which I believe is the new beep test. People aren't doing the beep test as much.

Instead, they're doing a Bronco. My arch nemesis. So don't worry. But it's worse. But don't worry, no beep test. It's worse than the beep test. Yeah. Instead, they're doing a Bronco. Oh, my arch nemesis. So don't worry. But it's worse. But don't worry, no beep test. It's worse than the beep test. Yeah, yeah, but don't worry, no beep test. Yeah, but it's worse than that.

The good thing about a Bronco is it has a finish line, whereas a beep test, you just keep going until you effectively die. The beep test has a finish line whenever you want to stop. Yeah, right. Yeah, no, true. You've got to do this again. So for those who don't know what a bronco is, you set up some cones on a rugby field

and you run to the 20 metre and back. And then to the 40 metre and then 60 metre and then back. And you do that five times. That's it. That's the whole thing. That's the whole bronco. Yeah, I know how long it is and it's a bloody long way. Yeah, well anyway, we've got Bowdoin Barrett's record time

and I want to give you the opportunity to beat it and you're not meeting me halfway on this like i'm i can't get you i can't get you enthused i can't get you jazzed today we were meant to do it and brie messages through and says sorry i can't do it my football boots aren't waterproof you know like how many excuses has one person got you know i mean you know i was gonna get the waterproof ones but they were extra so so I decided not to. Because, I mean, how often do you play football in the wet conditions? Not often. Right, okay.

Yeah. So, I mean, I can't help these things. I don't have the equipment. Mate, I'm so happy to support you. You're the runner in this show, not me. I'm not the runner. That's true. I have started running during lockdown.

Exactly. I've never claimed to be a runner. I'm not good at it. true I have started running During lockdown Exactly I've never claimed To be a runner I'm not good at it I hate it frankly Yeah So I'm happy to support you Yeah but I want to do it

But I want to do it together I want to do something together I think it's more fun You know Okay Here's a deal Yeah If I do this for you

The Bronco test Something you Something you want to do Yeah Then you have to do something That I want to do together Depends what it have to do something that I want to do together. Depends what it is. Do you have an idea for what it is?

Not yet, but I can think I can cook something up. Nah, now it sounds sadistic. Mine's positive. No, mine will be positive too. It'll be something we can do together and maybe tackle a fear together or I don't know. Okay. Yeah. All right.

Deal. Deal. All right. Ben, can you set up that Bronco test? Can you set it? I tried to get Bowden, Ben, can you set up that Bronco test? Can you set it? I tried to get Bowden Barrett to come on down to the Bronco test. I'm going to say he was busy. He said he's sick of talking about it.

His boots aren't all so waterproof as well. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. Yeah, right. Is he sick of talking about it? Yeah, he's sick of... Yeah. Sounds familiar.
