Oh, let's talk about it. Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast where we've got hot news from the slopes. Bree's going indoor skiing. And that's not a euphemism. No, that isn't. No, that's a personal joke. Can't put that in. Can you take that out, Ben? Just beep that bit. Yeah, beep that bit. Leave it in, but beep what she said. Yeah, it's a high school joke. We can't put that in. Are you still friends with people from high school? I don't know. You never know who listens. You never know.

But is it your... Yeah, I don't know the details. Okay, we'll just beep it out. Trust me. Got to beep it out. Okay. No, we're talking about indoor skiing. There's a hill just north of Auckland,

and they've put a shed on it, and inside that shed... I'm making it sound real rinky-dink. It's pretty flash. It's pretty cool. But it's built on a hill. sound real rinky-dink. It's pretty flash. It's pretty cool. But it's built on a hill. So there was already a hill there. It's a hillside.

You'll see it when you get there. It's on a hillside. I've never been. It's just off to the side of the motorway. Well, my partner and I, we missed out on our snow trip this year. Yeah, you and half the world, I think. Yeah, I know. Because of lockdown number two.

We missed out by a couple of days. And we had new boots and gear and stuff. New boot, Gylfin. Maybe we'll give it a go in the indoor slopes. Yeah. There it is, by the way. That's where you're going. Oh, that looks pretty good.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, not for me. Why? Well, you know. You can't ski. Well, no, I can ski, actually. Thank you very much.

Are you a good skier? Yeah, weirdly, I'm quite a good skier. I'm not very good. I'm a phenomenal ice skater as well. Are you? Yeah. Are you? Well, are you?

I'd like to see this. How are we ever going to test that? Oh, that's what my wife says, too. Honestly, just take me at my fucking word for once. Wait, so your wife's never seen it? No, she's never seen it. Oh, that's not good for the story you're trying to tell. It's because she won't go ice skating with me.

She refuses to believe that I'm a phenomenal ice skater. And I'm like, let's go. I'll prove it. She goes, no, I hate ice skating. When you say phenomenal, like, what do you mean? Like, what can you do? Fast. Fast.

I go fast. Can you do tricks? What tricks do you want? Can you skate backwards? I'm not a figure skater. Yeah, can you skate backwards? Skating backwards is a phenomenal one. Last time I ice skated, it was easy for me to skate backwards? I'm not a figure skater. Can you skate backwards? Skating backwards is a phenomenal one. Last time I skated, it was easy for me to skate backwards.

It has been a little while. You like how he premises it with last time I skated. It's because of my background in rollerblading. Ah, true. Yeah, true. I've never met someone that talks more bullshit than you. It's not bullshit. No, but the thing is. It's not bullshit. No, but the thing is...

It's not bullshit. You have said it so many times that you now believe it, but it's bullshit. I believe it because I live it. You would not be able to rollerblade for your life. I didn't say that I was a phenomenal rollerblader. I said I'm a phenomenal ice skater because of my background in rollerblading. And what's your background in rollerblading? I rollerbladed in high school.

For how much? Like on a team? Oh, no. No, no. Like, not on a team. I wasn't lame. Like ramp skating. Like.

You hit the ramp. Ramp skating sounds cooler. You hit the ramp. You dropped in on a ramp. The official rollerblading term is vert skating. But I didn't think you guys would know the lingo. So I said ramp. Who would be more likely to not bust their teeth out if they dropped in rollerblading on a ramp right now?

I'm not offering to rollerblade on a ramp. I'm not saying we're doing it. I'm just saying hypothetically, who would be less likely to bust their teeth? Out of who? Out of Clint and I. I don't know. It's not your teeth that you bust when you drop in on a ramp

It's more likely to be your tailbone Because your centre of gravity is off You have to lean forward further than you think But you compensate and you lean back And then you end up on your butt Call my vert skaters, where you at? Mansplain, mansplain, mansplain This is what it's like when I start to get horses

Now you know how it feels You said I couldn't ski. Okay, and I can see that. I never said you couldn't ski. That was me. I'm sorry. I didn't say that. Actually, I'd like to know, Ben, are you a skier? Yeah, I'm a good skier.

Yeah. Do you ski? Are you a phenomenal skier? No. Okay. Do you ski, Anastasia? Yeah, yeah. I'm kind of like you, Brie.

Mum's put in a lot of work over the years to try and get me good, but it's not going to happen I'm not too, to be honest I've skied like five times And I go on most of the runs Oh okay that's good Can I congratulate everybody on this team For just accepting the fact that they should ski Yeah

I'm not a snowboarder Snowboarding is pushing the envelope I was a very good And it's very cool, which I'm not. Yeah. But our skiing's coming back in. Yeah, it is. I think it's got a full circle.

Trust me, I've been on the slopes the last couple of years. Nico Porteous, he's making skiing cool again. Yeah. I tried to snowboard first because I was a really good longboard skateboarder. Oh, really? Yeah. I still have like six longboard skateboards if you want one. I've got one at home. See, why is no one questioning it when she says it?

Because it's believable She's got six of them You know where I used to longboard skateboard? When I was in college In Florida That's actually really close Do you know where I used to rollerblade? Road Rover Skate Park

Again, there's a skate park Across the park I used to Well do you know where I used to rollerblade? Road Rover Skate Park There it is Okay Again there's a skate park Holy shit Across the park We could easily I'm not offering Yeah I'm ready

Are we doing it at the two year mark? I'm yet to plank It's going to happen one day. Oh, yeah. The planking. You don't expect it. My friend set up the Planking New Zealand Facebook group, and it exploded, obviously,

because planking was so hot for like two weeks. And the power of that Facebook page really went to his head. He was like, I am the authority. I think the news interviewed him. He organized a, this shows you the area that it happened in. He organized a planking flash mob.

Oh, yes. I thought you were going to say something else then. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Shout out Rob if you're listening. Love you, man.

Rob, what are you doing now? He's still got the page. Does he? How many followers? It wouldn't have gone up. What was it called? I think Planking New Zealand. Planking. Oh, it could be NZ. Planking NZ, maybe.

It'll come up either way. Just a quick subtopic. 13,000. Yeah, it was sizable. Solid. Look at the photo. Oh, my God. Where has that been taken? Oh, the photo.

Okay, what was better? January 26, 2019. Someone, they updated their status to plank you next. Feeling horizontal. That's actually quite good from him. What was worse? It's been three years, though, since he'd posted. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But at the time, it was topical. That was such a dumb challenge. The challenge now just looks like a dead body challenge. It's not appropriate in the age of COVID. You look dead. At least in my feelings challenge, it required some moves. Did you ever do the Harlem Shake? That's why planking took off, because it was so easy. We did a ever do the Harlem Shake? That's why planking took off because it was so easy.

We did a radio station. Harlem Shake. Yeah, did you guys? I was in primary school. Yeah, we did. Did you guys do, what was the one where, the mannequin challenge? We did that too. Oh, nah. Yeah, I did a couple of mannequin challenges. Oh yeah, that's right.

Yohos. Maybe they were called Yohos. I think they were called Diablos. I think you're right. No, they were. No, I'm talking about in New Zealand what we call them. Oh, right. No, I'm pretty sure it was called that everywhere

And I tried calling in last week to play and Ben didn't put me through. Well, you know, when you're not here, you've got to call through on the phones like everyone else. Yeah, that's true. I'll try harder next time. Can you imagine if our guest for Google Down was Anastasia? People would go, man, this show is really turning into something quite self-serving. Okay, good show on the way for you guys this afternoon.

So let's rip into it, shall we? Got some Monopoly news for you next, Clint. This could be a really good Christmas present idea as well. If you haven't thought about, you know the person in your family where you're like, oh, I don't really like them, but my sister's dating them. Got to get them something. This is a good gift for that.

Oh, oh, oh. Is it boots that look like the boot from Monopoly? That's a great gift idea, but no. No? Sadly, no. Well, everyone's got their own ideas, and we'll get yours after LAB on ZM, Brie and Clint. Brie and Clint.

Normally, we don't do shout-outs on this show, but this one was too cute. Oh, I love shout outs. Someone texted us just before and they said, can Bree and Clint please say a big hello to my son, JJ? Yeah. He's seven and we were driving to work last night at 7pm and he asked me, is this ZM? And I said to him, yes. He said, what?

Where's Bree and Clint? I told him you guys aren't on all the time and just in the afternoon. 7 o'clock, we're at the pub. Yeah, he was gutted to learn this as he wants us on every time. So I just wanted to give a big shout out to JJ. Do the shout out. That was the shout out. No, do the shout out.

JJ! We love you, JJ. We'll try and be on more if Ross Boss lets us. We should do a whole hour of shout-outs one day. I would actually really like that. Shout-outs. That'd be fun. I want to talk about maybe a potential good gift

you could get someone in your family for Christmas this year. Good, I've done no shopping. Yeah, good. So this could be for someone. So think about your family or all the people you need to buy a gift for. Got it. Is there any sore losers in the family? People who don't like to lose.

Sore losers, I mean, traits like... Am I buying you a Christmas present? I'm actually not a bad loser these days. I'm pretty good at it because I do it quite often. There's a Monopoly board game out where we have talked about on this show before where it's a special edition sore a Monopoly board game out, uh, where we have talked about on this show before where it's a special edition, uh, saw losers Monopoly version. That's right. How does it work?

Um, essentially there's like opportunities where if you land on something bad, you can like get money back instead of getting bad things happen to you. You know what I don't like about that? What? Is it prolongs the inevitable. Monopoly is long enough. And if you're giving... Monopoly is a long game. Yeah, and if you're giving the people who are losing

the opportunity to get back in the game, like, you just need to kill them off. Like, you need to get the dead weight off the board as soon as possible, yeah. Well, this is interesting because Hasbro, the company that make Monopoly, have now started a compensation fund where they're offering $50

as well as a special edition copy to any victims and perpetrators who have witnessed the raging tantrums of people during Monopoly. Oh, Monopoly tantrums. Yeah, that's a good idea. So they're now compensating and they're giving out money for it. I'm thinking about Monopoly tantrums. Table flips. So this is interesting.

Yeah. So they've also put down a few things that are good to look for that pretty much make you worthy of getting the money. Yeah. So stuff includes false accusations of cheating. Yeah, that's a big one. Full-scale tantrum. Yeah. Which I've seen before.

Unsportsmanlike behaviour. Yeah. Bickering and stomping off. Yeah. There I've seen Stormouts. Unsportsmanlike behaviour. Bickering and stomping off. There you go. Stormouts. Outright cheating, which sometimes people just don't even try and hide it. Breaking the rules and of course damaging any of the pieces or the actual board. Which would

be table flips and board swipes. Yes. You know when someone goes screw this game! Yeah. And they just, yeah. My brother did that when we were really young and he caught my piece, which was always the dog, and he caught it in the middle of the board game

and left a big hole in it. Yeah. And every time we played, I'd just remember it because I'd just look at that big hole in the board. I'd be like... Anyway, they did some research and it showed that 14% of people have admitted to chucking the board when playing Monopoly. Only 14 have admitted it.

14%, yeah, have admitted it. Whereas 51% said that they consider themselves a sore loser. Yeah. It's tough. It's heated. It's Christmas often. Sometimes it's raining. You're stuck inside.

Oh, it's a heated game. You had plans to be at the beach. Instead, you're playing Monopoly with your brother. I'm not going to lie. You know, did it cause most of the rifts at my flat during lockdown? Yes. Monopoly deal. No, it was Monopoly the game.

Oh, real Monopoly. Monopoly deal is so quick you can get over it and you can play again. Yeah, you go, give me another game. Yeah, whereas Monopoly, the normal game, got quite heated. Well, good. It's good that they've brought that out then. Yeah. You can be compensated finally.

Yeah. Yeah. I want to know from people, has this happened in your family? Has it caused a massive riff? Like, is the fight still going? Is Monopoly not allowed to be played in the house anymore? Oh, yeah. Or we can do any type of board game.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Has board games been cancelled because a big fight went down in the house anymore. Oh, yeah. Or we can do any type of board game. Oh, yeah, yeah. Has board games been cancelled because a big fight went down in the family? Did you get punched in the face over a game of Operation? Yeah. Yeah, okay. 0800 dials at him or text her 9696 with your board game blowouts. Sibling physical fights? Yeah.

Because of board games? Broken windows. Yeah, we'll take anything. Tyres slashed. Doberman, give us a call. Bree and Clint. I love the people that listen to this show's stories. They make my day.

And you guys have got some rippers this afternoon for this one. We're asking you about board game fights. Yeah, and you know the ones we're talking about. Usually they happen over Christmas time when it's family or, you know, your friends and you get involved in a big game of Monopoly. Oh, you really let loose when it's family. Yeah. No, you don't let anything, you don't hold anything back. No, shit no. Why would you?

There's been physical fights in my family, that's for sure. Not good. We've asked you though, what's the fight that went down during a board game in your family? Hi, Carrie. Hi, Carrie. Hi, Carrie. Hi. What happened, Carrie? Tell us. Basically, my mum and I had a huge fight

over the sit-up of Cluedo that I had to go stay at my dad's house that night. Oh. Whoa. Wait, how old were you, Carrie? This was like a few months ago. Your fight with your mum over Cluedo was so bad. No, that's an intense game.

You got evicted. Yeah, well, I mean, I kind of voluntarily left. Carrie, now tell me if it doesn't, you know, cause you to rage too much. What was the actual fight about? Oh, God, I don't. It was like over the kids' Cluedo and like what? Kids' Cluedo? Yeah, because I have a little brother

and so we were playing for him and we didn't end up playing that night. Wait, so it was over the piece? Yeah, the piece that had the like crumbs on the bottom that you had to figure out. It was in the wrong place according to my mum. Gotcha. And that's when the fight was over.

So will you guys be playing Cluedo over Christmas or is it off? No, we haven't played it since. I think that's a good idea, Carrie. Keep the family together. Let's talk to Cody. G'day, Cody. Hello, Cody. Hey, Taneem.

How you going? Good, thanks. What was the fight that went down over a board game, Cody? Well, we don't play Monopoly in my house anymore. We used to. But we've got a bit of a love-hate-destroy relationship with Monopoly. I feel like that's everyone. We had a bit of a bad night one night,

and the argument lasted for about three weeks, and I spent the night in the garage, and my daughter didn't talk to me for a while. Your daughter didn't talk to you? Well, yeah, she's the blatant cheater. I'm the one who screws everybody over for their properties. My partner's the one that gets very angry and then we all

get angry and it's not a healthy game. Oh, it's really not. And I feel like true colours come out in that game, you know, where you just see what someone would do. I really think that it should never have been a family game. No, the objective of Monopoly is to dominate the other people and to force them into financial ruin.

It's a Donald Trump everyone on the board. Yeah, it's not even like a game where you just come second. The idea is to bankrupt everybody else. It's a pretty horrible game when you think about it. Thanks, Cody. Thanks, Cody. There's a really good text here I need to read. Someone has texted through and they said,

My girlfriend always stole money off me in Settlers of Catan, if you've heard of that board game. We're no longer together. Wow. Broke them up. Over Settlers of Catan. Finally, Hayley, what was the board game that caused a massive fight for you guys? It was Monopoly.

Monopoly as well? Okay, who was it with? It was with my older sister and we were slashing together at the time and we made it go for three weeks because neither of us were willing to admit defeat. We were all broke. We had no money, nothing on the board. We both got so angry

that each of us grabbed a side of the board each and pulled us all in line and ripped the board in half. Wow. Wait, did you say the game went on for three weeks because no one... This is like the US election. All properties were mortgaged. There was nothing left for us to do and none of us wanted to boot. You win, Hayley.

Well, no one won. No, no one won. to lose. You win Hayley Well no one won No one won Literally no one won in this situation Oh well, well good luck playing Monopoly this Christmas on your half board I'll put that on my Christmas list for Santa

Dean, rumours are flying Brian Clint from iHeartRadio. This is The Latest, live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, rumours are flying about potentially one of the little mixed girls leaving the group. Yeah. Oh, drama. It's just never the same. It really is never the same when someone leaves the group. I don't know because I grew up with the Spice Girls

and I'm still not really over it. Here's the latest, right? So Jessie Nelson, you would all know her from Little Minx, she has taken what she's calling some private medical leave from the group. What does that mean? Is it really private medical? I remember when Geri Halliwell was like, I'm just going to have a little bit of a break from the group.

And she never came back. She never came back. It's like telling someone you're dating. Let's just go on a break and then you just never talk to them again. You just change your phone number. That's a nice way to say break up. It's really nice. But look, it might be something more medical related.

I don't know. But there's a lot of speculation around it. You might remember, here's a little tidbit of juice. They were going to, when Camila Cabello left, left Fifth Harmony, they were going to replace her. Yeah, they were going to replace her with a huge star, like Demi Lovato or something. What?

Like they'd actually found some big star. Swear to the Lord. Did you know that? When Camila Cabello left Fifth Harmony. No. I never knew that. That is. when she left, Camilla Cabello left with Harmony. No. I never knew that. That is like shady, but also that's how you win the breakup. You go, oh, right, you want to leave us?

Okay, we're going to replace you with someone better. We'll get someone bigger, more famous, better. Yeah. Well, this is quite interesting for Little Mix because this is after Perrie Edwards broke her back recently and then she had to take some time off and Mix because this is after Perry Edwards broke her back recently and then she had to take some time off and then now this is happening. There seems to be some stuff. Do you call it quits?

Do you go, oh, we had a good run? Well, you know they're the most successful girl group in the UK ever? More than the Spice Girls? I think so, yeah. More than Girls Aloud? Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure I read that, yep. All right. They're a pretty big deal over there.

They're a big deal. There you go. All right, that's the latest Live Out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. Thanks to Cookie Time, celebrating 35 years of Christmas cookies.

That's a lot. And they've taken a survey of New Zealanders, 3,600 people. The average New Zealander has 18 used unwanted items in their house

that they could sell right now. I don't. You do. I don't think I do. You do. Not things that people want. If I look in your wardrobe, there will be things that still have the tag on them that you don't think I do. You do. Not things that people want. If I look in your wardrobe, there will be things that still have the tag on them

that you don't want. Can you get out of my closet already? Can you get out of your closet? They reckon, and this is where it gets interesting, so the average person's got 18 things. They reckon if you sold those things, everybody in New Zealand, or the average New Zealander, sitting on $1,50000 cash. Oh that's not

that much. What do you mean it's not that much? If I have to sell all my stuff. It's free money. How much stuff do you have to sell? Probably all those things. Those 18 things. Admin. What's the admin? Selling 18 things on Trade Me. It's a lot of work. You just use the app. You just take a photo and then put it up

and then they literally come to your house and it comes to your house and takes your junk away and gives you money. Some people like it. Other people go, oh, admin. Yeah. Well, oh, I know you. You're a Facebook marketplacer. Oh, I don't mind it.

I like to live on the edge. Facebook marketplace. It's like the wild, wild west out there in Facebook marketplace. You don't know. Nothing good happens on Facebook marketplace. You don't know if you're going to get your money or not. It's kind of exhilarating. Everything on Facebook Marketplace,

and I know this is a broad brush stroke, I'm going to come out and say it because someone has to. You don't pay to be on Facebook Marketplace. Everything on Facebook Marketplace is stolen. That is not true. Why are there so many rooms on there? I don't know. Why are there so many blenders on there? Because don't know Why are there so many blenders on there?

You know? Because, you know, people like to update their blenders Why are there so many home gyms on there? All of this stuff you're saying is also on Trade Me Yes, but that's legal So what's the difference? Facebook Marketplace is like Facebook Marketplace is like

We see a guy down an alleyway And he's like, hey bro, do you want to buy an iPhone? And it's a good deal. I know. Yeah, true. Bree and Clint. Is it you that's never been in the grand final? Hey, excuse me.

I'm not saying it to throw shade. Excuse me. But is that true? I've been in two. But you've never won one. I have won one. Oh, well now you're making stuff up. You told me you've never won one.

No, I have won one. It was for indoor netball. Okay. I've been in a rugby one. Oh, well, now you're making stuff up. You told me you've never won one. No, I have won one. It was for indoor netball. Okay? Okay. I've been in a rugby one, and we lost, and I got benched. But I was in it. I was in the final. Well, they can't use you as an excuse that they lost.

No, they can't. No, they probably, that's why they benched you. No, they can't, no. To try and bring the game back. Is that why? No, excuse me. There No, they probably, that's why they benched you. No, they can't, no. To try and bring the game back. Is that why? No, excuse me. There were lots of reasons, okay? What were the other reasons?

There were lots of reasons. Half the team, it was an under 85 kg rugby competition and half the team turned up overweight. Right. For the grand final. So you were overweight for the grand final? No, I was underweight and I still didn't get on the field. So they would rather risk it and put an overweight player on.

I told so many people about the final. I was like, come down, we're playing in the final. I got people from my work down there, all this stuff, and there I was riding the pine. But they lost anyway. I mean, we lost. Well, you might not understand the real true feeling of what it's like to sit in,

you know, the locker room after a grand final win and to play that one massive grand final song. And all the team is there and you're looking at everyone and you're like, we just went into battle for each other and we came out victorious. Yeah, that's what it was like after a netball final. We were all having a powerade outside of the net and then we hopped in our cars and went home. Yep, sounds nearly the same.

You're right though, there was no song. Yeah, so you don't know. No, we never played a song, no. It's a pretty special moment and probably some of my favourite of my childhood. And I wanted to do a thing this afternoon where I wanted to get an idea of what that moment was like for other people. What was the song that was played in that moment for people? Right.

We can't ask you because you've never... No, you can. You can because I may still wear a grand final. Let's see without the actual experience. Yeah. Let's see if you can actually relate here. What song is it for you? Imagine that.

You and the boys. Or you and the boys and girls if it's a mixed competition like our netball comp was. Like you're missing the essence. Am I? Yeah. Listen to this bit. Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon No? Okay, well put me in the right direction Okay, we'll put it on the cast We'll put it on the cast It's gotta be the song we just played Queen, We Are The Champions Oh, right

It's gotta be Yeah It was either this Or it was Tina Turner, Simply the Best. Tina Turner's a good option. That was my two. Tina Turner usually on the way to the grand final. This one's a bit predictable.

It is, but Tina Turner, Simply the Best. Way better. This is the one I remember screaming out of the bus on the way back. What's the sport you were playing, by the way? I was in grand final for a few different sports. Take your pick. Same. I mean, I won state championships, played for Australia.

Which one do you want to talk about? Or any of them for indoor netball? Played a few against New Zealand. Want to talk about those grand finals? All right. Ben, have you ever played in a grand final? Yeah, just so many grand finals. And every time I, you know, finished that grand final,

we played the song, yeah. Apparently you're a script man. Well, that was Anastasia's one, but that's fine. Well, how am I supposed to know? You didn't label them. There's no communication there, mate. You didn't label them. You should be able to tell by their age group.

What was Ben's? What was producer Ben's? No, now it has to be Anastasia's. So this is now Ben's. Great choice, Ben. Thank you. Anastasia, you're in a grand final. What's the song?

Yeah, this is the song after the hockey final. No one needs to have all that power. Big Kanye fan. Do you know who they are? This is Kanye, right? If I know hockey This suits it This is it yeah If I know Can I just say Did you play outdoor hockey?

Yeah That game is Ruthless Oh the best game Like brutal I played a few times And I feared for my life Any game that involves

Sticks and rock hard balls And no helmets. It's insane. Like, shout out to all the outdoor hockey players because you guys are literally fearless. Wrist concussion every day. Why is it against the rules to have sleeves in field hockey? That's what I've always wondered.

I'm not against that rule. I like that rule. Oh, yeah. That's why I go to watch. Do you want some grand finalists on the phone? Yeah, I want some people. Have you had that moment in your life? Have you experienced it? What song was playing?

What was it for you? Let's find it. What is the ultimate grand final song? 0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696. Brianne Clint. Picture this, Clint. The year's 1998. You've been playing bloody well all season.

You've made it through as the top team to go into the grand final. How old am I? Of the Stanthorpe soccer competition. Right, so you're nine. Yeah. Sandra Nicoletti's been on your back all bloody season. She won't leave you the hell alone. And you know you're going to have a tough game on your hands.

You come together as a team and you're there. You're in it together to fight, to win the ultimate prize, which is like this crappy little trophy that they give you at the end. The under 10 country Queensland soccer festival trophy 1998. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

The ultimate prize. The holy grail, they call it. You've played bloody well all game and it's the last minute and you know when that final buzzer sounds, you will be a champion. We are the champions, my friends. And you just get on the piss with all your mates and it's awkward because you're all You're on the piss. You're nine years old. You're all underage.

We're asking you this afternoon what is the greatest grand final winning song to play in the shed. It doesn't matter if you're nine or ninety. It can be anything. It can be anything.

Any time, any sport. We're getting lots of texts on this. What have we got? What are the few that have come through? There's a few fairly obvious ones like this. What have we got? What are the few that have come through? There's a few

fairly obvious ones like this. Which, yes, it is obvious, but it would work. It would get the vibes. To the boys who won the 85's

rugby comp and played this at the end. This is a bang, right? You know what would make this occasion perfect? The guy who raps in Linkin Park. That was a great song, you've got to admit it. Yeah, it's good, yeah.

What else did we have? You know you're about to get silly if this song comes on. This is after you have the emotional moment. Yeah. And when you're ready to party that night. Someone text this and it's their team's winning song. Vintage Whitney Houston. Hey, you know I'm always keen for some Whitney. I'm trying to picture the moment.

What sport would it be? It's rugby. Rugby? Yeah, you've all had a couple of beers and a shower. You're all linking up. You've had a little bit of time to reflect on it This builds you know this builds It'll give you the um The wairua

The mana to leave the changing rooms And head up to the club rooms you know Really describes Coming really hot yeah What it's like to win a grand final too Yeah Like you just feel for that moment in time Nothing else matters Yeah you know really describes what it's like to win a grand final too yeah like you just feel for that moment in time

nothing else matters yeah I mean do you know that feeling yes I told you we won the we won the indoor netball comp div 2

I'm just kidding Dominion Road 2013 I'm sure it was a great moment I wish I was there this was suggested as well. I don't know why. Look, I don't make the rules.

Must have been like an Italian comp or something. True. What's Italian about? Oh, Fernando. Fernando. Fernando. Okay. Bree and Clint. I went and saw a little sneaky film on the weekend, Clint,

supporting, you know, local. And I went and saw Baby Down. You didn't let me finish. Oh, right, yeah. And now you look silly. I was supporting local talent. I was supporting popcorn. And I went and saw Baby Down. Rose Matafio, yes. Baby Done, and saw Baby Done. Rose Matafio.

Baby Done, sorry. Baby Done with Rose Matafio and it was amazing. Actually, Baby Done. Yeah, Baby Done. Good correction. You threw me because you're trying to make fun of me. Rose and the guy from Harry Potter. Yeah, the guy from Harry Potter.

Anyway, great film. It was a great film. But I was distracted in the movie theatre because I was sitting there and I started to smell the sweet aromas of something that you don't normally smell in a cinema. Oh. Good aromas. Oh, right. Not bad aromas.

And I was like, what is that? I was like, it kind of smells like roast beef. Really? And I was like, that's a weird smell to be smelling in a cinema. And I was looking around and I was like, I need to know what this is. So I decided I'd get up and I'd go to the bathroom. And on my way back in, you know when you walk into the cinema, you can kind of see more if the screen lights up.

Yeah. Anyway, so did that and I walked back in and I could kind of see there was only like three of us in the cinema because it was a weird early time to be going to the cinema. Anyway, I was like, oh, it must be this person over here. So I kind of swapped seats and I went and sat kind of near this person. Yeah. Just because I wanted to see what was going on. What is it?

It was a full roast beef dinner. In the cinema. Wait, it? It was a full roast beef dinner in the cinema. Wait, it gets better. It gets better. It gets better. They decided I would really have applauded them if they went for a full plate, but it was in a Tupperware container. Right, okay. Do you think it was from a roast shop or do you think it was?

Oh, no, I think this was homemade. This looked homemade to me. And anyway, I was like, what has this person got here? Anyway, so there was roast beef, potatoes. I think there was carrots, onions, broccoli. So get this. I was like, oh, there's no gravy. It's going to be dry.

You need gravy. That is when this guy reaches into his bag and pulls out this little mini container, unscrews it, gravy. Absolute hero. What a legend. He's a Kiwi legend. Anyway, I was thinking to myself, I was like, how do you possibly, it's not going to be hot. No.

Like, you need, you know it's not going to be hot. No. Like you need a roast dinner to be hot. Or do you microwave it and then drive to the movies as quickly as you can? Well, get this, I was like, I need to know. So I struck up a conversation with the guy after the film. Yeah. Because I just said to him, I was like, was that a full roast dinner that you had in the film? And he seemed pretty friendly.

He was like, yeah. He goes, I like to, you know. Treat myself. I like to be, I like to feel like I'm in a relaxed environment when I'm at the cinema. So I bring, you know, my dinner. Creature comforts. Yeah.

Anyway, so I was like, okay, cool. And I was like, but it wouldn't have been hot. And he goes, oh, see, that's where you're wrong. I live literally a minute from here. He goes, oh, I heat that bad boy up and I heat it extra. And then I race down here, get my ticket and walk straight in. See, that's a life hack. And a lot of people would go, the movie companies would go,

you can't do that. You can't bring it in. You can't treat the movies like your home. The alternative is that he pirates the film. Well, damn. Because obviously he has to have a roast dinner while he watches the movie. He still wants to support local talent. He paid his dollars, let him bring in his roast dinner.

The movies? Yeah. It was something to see, eh? Total respect. Yeah, well done. Where do you draw the line, though? What food is too much to bring in? What's risky?

Spaghetti bolognese. Spaghetti bolognese. I've got some fashion news, everybody. Don't look at me. I don't know fashion. No, neither. But that doesn't mean we can't report on it, okay? On Saturday, the Edible Fashion Awards went down in Hawke's Bay.

New Zealand Edible Fashion Awards. What does that mean? I'm glad you asked. Take a listen to this. It's a tasteful affair. The annual Edible Fashion Awards, a unique Hawke's Bay event featuring a fashion parade with a difference taken from hundreds of designs constructed using only food,

food by-products or packaging. Is this real? It's real. It happened in Hawke's Bay. Is this like... It's a fashion parade where all the clothing is edible. This isn't like

some weird thing where it's like edible underwear. I'm glad you asked. I thought we should get into this. We should get into edible fashion.

And that's why I've had producer Ben purchase these gummy panties. Which you and I, I thought we could try them. I thought we could give them a go.

Producer Ben, how much does a pair of gummy panties cost these days? These ones were on sale. They would have been about $7.99. $7.99? Can you go into the store and buy those? No, the sale was only online, so I got it online. Of course you did.

They would have been cheap because they're crotchless. Yes, true. Because you don't have to pay for the crotch. So anyway, shall we get this open? I'm not comfortable. Are you not comfortable? No. Well, don't say that because then I have to eat them alone.

Look at it. This is a gummy. It's a gummy. Well, that looks like a boy one. It's a gummy G-string. You know, it doesn't. You would think so. That is a boy one.

You would think so, but it actually doesn't specify. No, no, no. You're wrong. On the corner of the box, it doesn't. You would think so. That is a boy one. You would think so, but it actually doesn't specify. No, you're wrong. On the corner of the box it says for her. Yeah, for her to enjoy. Oh, well then, bon appetit. No. What, do you want me to eat that? Do you not want to try?

Have you never wanted to try edible? I thought you were going to put them on and then I had to do it. I was like, this is such an HR issue. No, but I will have you know that that was producer Anastasia's suggestion Anastasia she goes it would have been funny make a radio

she goes I'll come in there and get a good shot and I said I'm not going to wear them Anastasia that's too far and she goes

well surely get Ben to put them on no I just thought you could try it your time is numbered here Anastasia edible fashion

so please be COVID safe because I'd like to have a taste too. So can you just eat from one side? I'll eat from the top. You'll eat from the top of the edible panties. Top down, that's how I usually do it. Yeah, go on. Yeah.

Come. A little bit. And let us know what. Oh, it's a bit tough. Yeah, they're really thick. It's a really thick layer of gum. That was gum, by the way. Gum.

Take that bottom part. You eat the bottom. Okay. Oh, man. That's really true, yeah. It's so tough, isn't it? But I would have to say... It's quite tasty.

...edible undies, quite tasty. I'll be probably quite full after that. Yeah. I forgot to mention I did try these on Before I always serve them I had to see if they functioned I had to see

where Brie said, you know, I can tell if someone's wearing a G-string. It's my special skill. I don't remember doing that. You did say it. I probably did. It gave rise to a brand new game where Bree guesses what you're wearing and it's called Bree String.

Now, warning. This game has been played once. We've really hit rock bottom here, haven't we? It has a terrible hit rate. 40%. It wasn't good. It was two out of five. Two out of five. I wasn't good. It was two out of five. Two out of five.

I mean, it's better than one out of five. So for this game to survive, you need over 50% today. Okay. Okay, and we have five callers. So it's completely up to you. So I need three. You need three, and you get one question for each of these people. Okay.

Okay, we're going to begin with Eva. Hi, Eva. Hi, Eva. Hi. All right, Eva, tell me, when you go to the movies, what's your snack of choice? Oh, that's a hard one. So she's indecisive. Probably Maltesers. Maltesers. That tells me a lot. Okay, what is it? Tells me I believe you're a G-string wearer right now. Absolutely. Yes!

One from one. Well done. Okay. Thank you, Eva. Wait there. Let's go to Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin.

Whoa. Two from two. All I need is one more. You just need one more, and this is the most successful edition of Bree String we've ever done. Stevie, welcome to the show. Hello, Stevie. Hi.

I was hoping you were a man. But that's okay. I'm not disappointed. I'm not. You didn't sound like a man. No. Stevie, what do you do for a job? I'm a teacher.

Underwear. It's five o'clock. She could have been home and changed by now. Underwear. There is time. And also, it's not against the rules to G-string to a school. No, it's not. I'm just saying I believe she's an underwear wearer.

You want to lock it in? Yes. Stevie? She's correct. Three from three. Can she get a 100% strike rate? Which would validate her claim that she is a G-string

fortune teller. Hannah, hi. Hi, Hannah. Hi. It's all going a little bit too well. I'll hand you over to Bree. Hannah. Okay. Hi, Bree. Hello, mate. Are you in a relationship right now, Hannah? I'm not. Oh, that's thrown me.

It could go either way. Yeah, it could go either way. And you didn't ask a specific enough question because you needed to know how long have you been out of a relationship? Is she dating at the moment? Yeah. Damn it, I've stuffed this up. See, like, when I'm not in a relationship, I'm just comfortable. I don't even need to oppress anyone.

What about when you are in a relationship? Same thing. Same thing. Hannah. Underwear. You want to lock in underwear? Yeah. Hannah.

Breathe. Nah. Damn it! Oh, it's going so well. Yeah. It's okay. Crap. You can finish with an 80% strike rate.

Can I? No. She doesn't have to mention what underwear. No, yeah, no, yeah. No, it's your job. Sorry. What do you wear to bed? Underwear?

Well. Nude? Nude. Oh, you're a G-string wearer. Yes. Get in! It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good.

That's 80%? It's 80%. I've got to come back next week and try for 100. Unfortunately, that means the game has to come back next week. Catherine, wait there. We've got some free mobile fuel for you. Congratulations. Nice work, Catherine.

Thank you. No worries. Oh, how good would that 100% have been? It would have been so good. Hey. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's always next week. There is always next week.

We're building. You've got a better winning record than the All Blacks this year, so. Bree and Clint. Clint, massive news over the weekend in Whangarei. Yeah. After an electrician by the name of Tom Clancy found himself stuck on top of the Domino's pizza roof after thieves stole his ladder.

Tom Clancy the author. Tom Clancy from The Hunt for Red October. It must be another Tom Clancy. I think it's a different one. He's an electrician and refrigeration engineer. Right. And he got stuck on the roof. Was very annoyed.

He was stuck for 20 minutes. How did an electrician get stuck on the roof. Was very annoyed. He was stuck for 20 minutes. How did an electrician get stuck on the roof? The thieves took his ladder. Well, we don't really know exactly what happened. Right, okay. We don't really know all the exact details, but they made off with his ladder and he was stuck up there for a terrifying 20 minutes.

Right. While a Domino's employee had to help him. Right. Look, I know this is a very horrible situation there for a terrifying 20 minutes while a Domino's employee had to help him. Right. Look, I know this is a very horrible situation and our heart goes out to Tom and obviously everyone involved in the incident. Tough 20 minutes. But, you know, from something like this, sometimes something great can come of it. Okay.

And I have been inspired by this amazing story of survival from Tom and I have written a play and it's called Sparky on the Roof, kind of like Fiddler on the Roof but Sparky on the Roof and it's the story about Tom being stuck on the roof in Whangarei. Wow, okay. So what's going to happen, producer Ben will be the director and he will be running the sound and buttons and all the production pretty much

this afternoon. Clint, you will be playing Domino's employee in Drunk Guy 1. Okay. Oh, am I not the star? I thought I could be the star. I will be playing Tom. Way to cast yourself as the star. I will be playing, I mean, I wrote it, so. I'll just have it known that

I'm the thespian in the group and I've been in Fiddler on the Roof so I'm well qualified. I know but I have TV experience so you know. Okay. Producer Anastasia, you will be the narrator. Awesome. Alright. So producer Ben, when you're ready start some of the ambience that

we need for Sparky on the Roof. It was a normal day in Whangarei, but for Sparky Tom, everything was about to change forever. Slash 20 minutes. Yeah, hi, I'm Tom. I'm here to fix the walk-in chiller. Ah, yep, it's just up there on the roof. Yeah, no worries, mate.

I'll be up and down in a jiff. Around the corner, some big-time criminals started to plan their brilliant, evil and well-thought-out attack on the young Sparky. Mate, I'm telling you, his name was Jack and there was a giant beanstalk All we need is a letter and I'll bloody show ya Oh jeez

I came out of bloody nowhere How about you indicate next time you stupid ladder Mate that's not a car That's a bloody ladder Shit It is a ladder It's a sign mate Let's take it is a ladder, it's a sign mate. Let's take it and we'll be able to fulfil our dream of climbing the Beanstalk.

The criminals disappeared into the distance with ladder in tow. It was then that Tom the Sparky realised what had happened and he was in the fight of his life. Those bloody dickheads stole my ladder. How am I ever going to get down from here? I could be stuck up here for days, weeks, months. Might even need to drink my own wee to survive. Dominoes guy. Oh, that's me. Hey, mate, are you stuck?

Yeah, mate, you got a ladder? Yeah, mate, at my house. I'll go and get it. You just hang tight. Tom was scared, lonely, starving, not knowing if he was going to make it out of this fight for survival alive. 20 minutes later, the dominoes man returned. Hey, mate, I got a ladder.

Here you go. Tom climbs down from the roof. Thank you, sir. You've saved my life today. Um, I kind of just went home and got a letter. You, sir, are a Kiwi hero. You're here. There's nothing I fear. Hero. Is that it?

That's the whole story. Is that it? That's the whole story. I know it's the whole story, but when you rewrite something into a play, you mean to add some dramatic license. Do you have something, narrator? The end. Now that's it. Now that's what we're The end. Now that's it.

Now that's what we're talking about. Now that's it. We like to keep it real. It's a true story as well. All that is based on a true story. True story. Brie and Clint. You'll never guess what, Brie.

What? The Auckland Theatrical Company just called about your play, about your script. And they said it was horrible. Yeah, they said, please don't ever do that again. They said you've set back theatre 15 years with that script. Sometimes you've got to try things and sometimes it's a big fail. All right, so it doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Sparky on the Roof has not been chosen for Air New Zealand,

New Zealand On Air funding. It's a great try. Sparky on the Roof has not been chosen for Air New Zealand, New Zealand On Air funding. It's a great name. Sparky on the Roof. All right, let's do Birthday Banger. Maybe get Taika to take a look at it. If he did, it'd be a hit. Of course it would if he did it. Yeah, can you imagine?

Yeah. For something that is completely different, Can You Feel the Love Tonight. And then I also love We Built This City. That's a great song too. What does my gut say? My gut says Lion King. I know Producer Ben will go with... Yeah, if it comes down to it.

Okay. When it started playing, I got to go with my gut. Okay, I think we take this off producer Ben then.

Okay. Because he's torn. He's too much of a Lion King and Elton John fan. He doesn't know. Producer Anastasia. Producer Anastasia, the decider.

I was she around when Evanescence was around. Yeah, I'm going to go for Bring Me to Life. Sorry, I'm not a Lion King person. You don't have to be sorry, mate. You're the decider.

Congratulations, Mark. You've just won birthday bagger. Yes, Mark. Oh, guys, that's a tough choice there. No, good one. I reckon it was right.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors? doors leading you down into my core where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere

cold until you find me there I need it back Wake me up Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to the ground

I can't wake up Before I come undone Save me Save me from the nothing I've become Now that I know what I'm without You can't just leave me Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life Wake me up, wake me up inside

I can't wake up, wake me up inside Save me, call my name and save me from the dark Wake me up Bid my blood to run I can't wake up Before I come undone Save me Save me from the nothing I've become

I'm in a dream I'm in a dream There's nothing inside To me I need to be alive There's nothing I can't do To me To me Frozen inside Without your touch Without your love, without your love

I'm dying over you All the night for my love All this time I can't believe I couldn't see Caught in the dark but you were there in front of me I've been sleeping about ten years it seems Got to open my eyes to everything Without thought, without a voice, without a soul Till the day I hear

The voice of the law Bring me to life Wake me up Wake me up inside I can't wake up Wake me up inside Save me Call my name and save me from The darkness Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from

The darkness This my first love Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become I've been living in line It's not that I'm sorry I've been living in line I've been living in line ZM Brian Clint Mark was born in 1987

and his birthday banger is Evanescent Bring Me To Life Great song Yeah, that was a mood. That was a touch of moment as well. Where's the songs that have that kind of emotion in it? And this song's got a lot of emotion in it too. This is what it beat out.

Elton John in Can You Feel the Love Tonight from the Lion King soundtrack. Here's an unpopular opinion. This is the better version of this song. Is there another version of this song? Yeah, the Beyonce version when they recreated the

movie. I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. You reckon that's a popular opinion? I reckon that's the opinion. Oh. I didn't know they did a Beyonce version. I think so. I was about to ask, did they redo the songs for the new movie? Because Beyonce was Nala. And, you know, when obviously Nala and Simba meet again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, yeah, it's Beyonce and whoever plays Simba, I think. Childish Gambino? Childish Gambino. Donald Glover. Yes. Unino? Childish Gambino. Donald Glover. Yes. Unpopular opinion. I never want to see the new one.

Oh, you haven't seen it? Nah. I just don't think you can improve on perfection. And for me, The Lion King was perfection. I think, yeah, that's like our childhood. Yeah, right. And it's never going to be replaced. I've got to remember that I'm old.

It was good. Like, the new one was good for what it was. Okay, I'm never going to show my daughter the new one. I'm only going to make her watch old movies. I'm going to be that dad. Be like, oh, everything was better when I was a kid. Watch this. Yeah, watch this VHS tape of Aladdin.

I'd love that. Aladdin's a bomb. Yeah, good. All right, well, that's what's going to happen at my house. She'll love it. Bree and Clint. Yesterday we told a story from one of our podcast listeners. Her name's Jenny.

It was probably one of the best stories we've ever heard, Clint. I agree. Of karma. And she pretty much told this story where she got onto the bus after having quite a few drinks at an event and she caught the bus home, which is good. And on the bus she was feeling a bit sick and she started to take everything out of her handbag

because she was feeling quite ill and she ended up throwing up into her handbag. You know, not the best moment, but she was safe because she took everything out. Correct. Anyway, she gets off the bus, she's holding the handbag and all the stuff's still in her pockets, obviously, because there's throw-up in her handbag. And that's when her handbag and all the stuff still in her pockets, obviously, because there's throw-up in her handbag.

And that's when her handbag gets stolen. Can you imagine being that person? I love that story. So good. We got so many great texts from you guys when we did that, and we didn't get to them all. So today we're going to revisit some of the ones that didn't get read out. Exactly.

Can I start? You can start, yeah. Okay, this is a short and sweet. This is a text from what we got yesterday. I found out that my ex cheated on me, so we broke up. A few months later, I found out that he got deported back to South Africa. Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, comedian. Karma was very harsh on that one, wasn't she?

Naughty karma. This is a text we got yesterday as well. Someone said, I had a boss and I had this boss and even though I was the number one sales rep, they would continue to breathe down my neck. One day he docked my pay because he couldn't get a hold of me. I then left the company and found out later on he got done for doing drugs at work. Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon. Ew.

Feels good though, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. That's karma. Yeah. My daughter was working in a winery on weekends and a total Karen asked for an item which they were sold out of. The Karen proceeds to

breathe at her and tell her she's going to sue them. She then proceeded to get hammered, dry hump her husband and eventually fell off a bike when she was leaving the winery. Perfect karma. her husband, and eventually fell off a bike when she was leaving the winery. Perfect. Karma.

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma comedian. Falling off a bike sucks. Like there's no good way to fall off a bike. Drunk as well? Oh, it's terrible. Someone texts through this and I love this story. Someone goes, this is kind of a karma story. I had a guy drive the wrong way down an exit at a mall car park and cut right in front of me and stole my car park at peak Christmas time.

Not cool, man. So I calmly parked my car, went into Oak and Save and bought a jar of crunchy peanut butter. I then proceeded to put a nice scoop underneath his door handle. Didn't see his reaction, but I'm guessing the first thing he thought of was not peanut butter. We don't condone it, but very funny. I condone that.

That's pretty good. It's peanut butter. Yeah, it's carbo. There's no long-lasting effects of that. You don't do that at peak Christmas time. I've got one more. People are angry. A lady that used

to be temporarily in charge of us when I worked at the supermarket in online shopping bullied me and tried to make my life hell while the boss was away. Oh that's horrible. When the boss got back she was moved to the seafood department and now she permanently smells like

fish. There's nothing. You know what permanently smells like fish. There's nothing. You know what karma smells like? Fish. Poe, is that karma? Oh, fish. We are the leading show for maritime and aviation-based news. Yep, correct.

And I've got some aviation news this afternoon. Now, look, normally maritime and aviation news is pretty light and, you know, fun and all that stuff. But this... We don't cover many plane crashes. No. And this isn't a plane crash, but this story is quite hectic. But it's amazing.

It's a story of survival. Do you want to hear it? Absolutely. So this story has actually been doing the rounds on the internet in the last week, but it's a story from 30 years ago, and it's a story that is about... Oh, my God, cast away. No, it's not. It's a real story.

It's a story about Captain Tim Lancaster when he was ripped from his seat and sucked out of the window at 23,000 feet. I've seen this. David Ferrier tweeted about it last week. Oh, mate, this story is crazy. So it was on a British Airways flight and the pilot, yeah, his name was Tim,

and a bunch of the windows on the front actual cockpit broke and he flies out the front window. Yeah. And then I think it was about five or six aeroplane crew then grab his legs to hold him into the cockpit. Yeah. So his whole body's out of the plane and the plane is literally falling and the other the co-pilot is trying to land the plane because there was some sort of problems and he

was trying to yeah there was a problem the windscreen was missing yeah so he was trying to find the nearest airport and then the other staff are trying to keep this guy inside the plane but obviously he's outside of the window um anyway story. I've grabbed a piece of audio, which is this is like a reenactment and then you'll hear some actual real, some of the people that were actually on the flight talking about it. An airliner full of passengers out of control at 17,000 feet and the pilot is stuck outside the plane. In the cockpit, three frightened flight attendants are clinging to his legs.

If he slips from their grasp, the captain's body could be sucked into the engine and bring down the plane. At the controls, a young co-pilot is battling to get the plane to the nearest airport. I said I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to die. This bizarre accident tested the limits of human survival.

Mental. Isn't that the most insane thing? Yeah. I read a little bit about this because I find it fascinating. It's incredible. The reason they think the windscreen came off is because the bolts to hold the windscreen on were on the outside of the plane.

And not the inside. And after this accident, all the planes were retrofitted to put the bolts of the plane. And not the inside. And after this accident, all the planes were retrofitted to put the bolts inside the plane. So because of this, there was all these changes that were made to planes to make them safer after this one incident. Why wasn't he wearing his bloody seatbelt? You know?

Well, I mean, you don't expect the bloody windscreen to come off of the plane, do you? To be fair, actually. Anyway, all 87 passengers and crew and the pilot and the pilot made it back

to the ground, yeah. Yeah. Crazy story. Far out. Bree and Clint, that's some good historic aviation news. I like that.

Bree and Clint. Rally round, New Zealanders, because we need to stand up and defend ourselves. The game's Argentina. We're going to play them in rugby again in a couple more weeks.

And, man, we're scared. No, it's not Argentina. It's Australia. Oh, yuck. They're the worst. They're the worst. Yuck, Australia. I'm so like, what's the name now? Because I'm so used What's the name now Because I'm just

I'm so used to it Oh right You're desensitised So go on bring it on Alright alright Well first of all They tried to steal our horse Farlap

That's the first thing Australia tried to steal off us Well you tried to palm off Russell Crowe to us No you tried to steal him We don't want him No we don't want him either We're fine with that one Exactly You were trying to give him to us

No you have him Okay And now They're trying to steal him We don't want him No we don't want him either We're fine with that one Exactly You were trying to give him to us No you have him Okay And now They're trying to steal Something else Australia Are trying to steal Our fruit pickers

Such a long list of things Well there's other things too Like what? Even more No they came to us Yeah they went willingly actually They went willingly What about you guys

Trying to take the pavlova from us Yeah well No No No we've We've debunked that on this show Yeah, they went willingly, actually. They went willingly. What about you guys trying to take the pavlova from us? Yeah, well, no, no. No, we've debunked that on this show. No, that was the lamington. That was the lamington. No, I'm pretty sure it was the pavlova. The pavlova is ours. The lamington is yours.

Okay? I feel like you're trying to pull a shifty. Which one do you want? Which one do you want? Probably the lamington. Yeah, well, fine. The pavlova's ours. You're trying to steal our fruit pickers.

Let's get back to the news. Hard facts, okay? Woman. The Australian government is attempting to pinch our seasonal workers by offering New Zealanders $2,000 cash to go and work across the ditch. $2,000 cash what? Money. A week?

No, as a lump sum. Oh, just... Then they pay them as well. Oh, right. They pay them a wage. Oh, like a bonus. A week? No, as a lump sum. Oh, just... Then they pay them as well. Oh, right. They pay them a wage. Oh, like a bonus. A bonus, yeah.

So if you go over there, you have to work for six weeks, and you have to do a minimum of 20 hours a week, and you have to work in a regional area of Australia picking fruit, maybe on your dad's orchard. Well, my dad doesn't work there anymore. Well, maybe. He's out of the game. Maybe he organized this. And if you're over 18, my dad doesn't work there anymore. Well, maybe. He's out of the game.

Maybe. He organised this. And if you're over 18, they'll give you free accommodation too. And it's time to say no, New Zealand. Sounds like a bloody good deal though. No, it's time to say enough is enough, okay? Who's going to pick our fruit? Who's going to get all the kiwi fruit, you know?

What about you? Oh, I'm busy. I don't want to do it. You could roll up your sleeves and do some hard work for once. No, no. Why not? No, that's not what this is about, okay?

This is about patriotism. Good bloody hard working Kiwis. That's why I've recruited a representative of the Australian fruit picking fraternity, Bree Thomasel, who grew up on an orchard, to convince New Zealanders not to go to Australia. So when you're ready, Bree, the floor is yours. Wait, I just need to clarify a few things. Yeah, yeah. So I'm convincing people that fruit picking is not fun.

You've got to convince New Zealanders not to go on a free holiday to Australia where they get $2,000 cash and they only have to work 20 hours a week. It's a pretty good deal, though. And get paid for it as well. I know. Okay, okay. But that's the issue we're facing. I can think of a few things. That's the issue we're facing. It's a pretty good deal. And get paid for it as well. I know. Okay, okay. But that's the issue we're facing. That's the issue we're facing.

It's a fricking good deal. Okay, I can think of a few things. Got it. Okay, point number one why you shouldn't go. Yep. Number one, it is bloody hot this time of year. Yeah, yeah. Real hot.

Stay here where it's cold and wet. You know, think about what you think is hot in new zealand and then double that times that by half that's how hot it's going to be in australia got it okay like it's so hot clint and so humid where you're going to be picking this fruit which is hard bloody work that you're going to get into the shower at night time and before you can like before you dry yourself you'll be already wet again before you put your clothes on. Yeah, good.

This is good. Okay, it's hot. It's hot. It's real hot. Disgusting and sticky. Yeah, anything else? Lots and lots of snakes. Yeah.

Lots of snakes. Yeah, they hide in the apples. Yeah, there's so many snakes. Did I mention spiders? And spiders as well. We've got all the venomous spiders you can possibly think of over there. Sweet. Okay, good.

Lots of venomous. Oh, you know what else? What? Alcohol. Very expensive. It's so expensive. Don't even get me started on mixed drinks. Don't even think about getting a mixed pre-drink over there.

Right. Okay, I think you've done a good job there. Oh, you know what else? No, I think that's plenty. Did I say it was hot? Yeah, you said it was hot. Yeah, yeah, good. All right, good.

Everyone stay here and hit the orchards, folks. Not me, though. It sounds like too hard work. ZM's Free and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards.
