Buenas noches everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
I don't know what I just said. I think I said good evening. I hope I said good evening.
Well it sounded polite mate. Racist.
Yeah possibly. Possibly. Maybe you were.
No you can't say racist okay. Unless you know that I've been racist you can't say racist.
It could have been. No. No.
No. Another. No.
Another socially distanced Brie and Clint show this afternoon.
Brie, you are not here in the studio.
So today you missed out on one of the greatest deliveries of all time.
What was it?
A $100 Nando's voucher.
Om nom nom nom nom.
Om nom nom nom nom. I am so annoyed. Let me read you the notes that Nando's voucher. Om nom nom nom nom. Om nom nom nom nom. I am so annoyed.
Let me read you the notes that Nando's...
We all know, we all know that I'm the Nando's person on the show.
I have lived for that restaurant for a long time.
Me and my friend used to meet there once a week.
We used to collect the points, everything.
How is it?
What does it say?
What does the note say?
Let me read you this.
Let me read you this.
Clint.
Bullshit. Not sure if you like
Nando's, but didn't
want to leave you out.
If not, it could be
a good second-hand Christmas
present for that uncle you don't know.
Enjoy what to buy.
Alex at Nando's.
Fuck off. That is not what it says
It is
You can read it
I'll show you on the camera
It shows it right there
But also
Can we just revisit the first line?
Not sure if you like Nando's
What the hell?
I'm obsessed with Nando's
What about me?
What about me?
What about me says that I wouldn't like Nando's?
I reckon that alludes to the fact that Brie likes Nando's
And I've got one for her,
but because she's away, she hasn't got it yet.
Oh, that would be hopefully what it says.
Yeah, possibly.
And weirdly, there's nothing here for you.
Anastasia, you'll be honest with me.
There's really not one for me?
I don't know, sorry.
I have no idea.
All I'm saying is that that alludes to the fact that...
You're the weakest link, Anastasia.
No, you're right, Anastasia. No, you're right,
Anastasia. What do you mean?
You should have just gone, nah, there's not one here for you.
Well, there's not one here for her. No, well, she's
right. She's right. What does the first line
say? We didn't want to leave you out. Yeah.
There'll be a Nando's voucher here for you. All you
had to do was just go, there's no Nando's voucher.
Yeah, but I wanted to be Nancy Drew
and it used to get... Nah,
Anastasia, that's why you're my GB.
Brie, all I'm saying, me, you, Nando's date.
Oh, absolutely.
That's where you and I met.
Anyway, if Brie doesn't come in tomorrow to get her Nando's voucher...
That's where you and I met.
Anastasia, if I'm not in tomorrow, you can get my Nando's voucher.
That's peri-peri nice of you.
Because I know for a fact she will wait for me to go.
Yeah.
Girls day.
We thought that we would take the Nando's voucher
on the road trip and just...
Oh, that's a good idea.
Because we're touring next week
and we'll just get bulk Nando's.
That's a great idea.
You get a $200 feast.
Yeah, actually, I've had Anastasia,
head of digital for the Brian Clint show, investigating, and she's had four hours to get a $200 feast. Yeah, actually, I've had Anastasia, head of digital for the Brian Clint show,
investigating, and she's had four hours to get a result.
Is there a Nando's in the South Island?
Yeah, is there?
So she's had four hours to get the results.
Yes, there is.
Let's find out.
Here we go.
Well, your question was, is there one?
Answer the question.
Answer the goddamn question.
Yes, there is.
Oh, good work is Where is it?
Well there's one in Christchurch and I'm sure other places
But we're not going to Christchurch
The only big town we're going to
Is Queenstown
Is there one there?
Well there's one there
And the opening
What the hell
I don't get the joke
It's taken four hours to get this answer from Anastasia.
Google says it's closed.
But it doesn't have the close temporarily thing.
No, but it's open.
Call them.
Let's call them right now and see if they're open.
All right.
Let's call them right now.
Can I read the number?
Yeah, what's the number?
I'll get the number.
Hang on.
027?
No.
Oh, my goodness.
Were you going to say Ben's phone number?
Because that would have been a boss fucking move.
I just would have beeped it out.
I ate it in the podcast.
He would have just cut it out of the podcast.
Yeah, let's say Clint's number instead.
Why has Nando's got a cell phone number?
This is getting weirder and weirder, actually.
Turn that down, Matt.
Let's find out.
Let's get the low down.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
I once paid...
No, no, no, that's wrong!
Oh, no, Clint's going to find out.
The last place I used
to live on the South Coast.
That's the
South African one.
Nando's Queen Queenstown, South Africa Oh my god
Oh my god
So, just a wee update
There isn't a Nando's in Queenstown
Anastasia
Just tell us that
Wait, the good news is
Is that hopefully Brie will be back soon
And we
If Brie's back for my birthday can we go there for my birthday lunch?
Absolutely.
I thought we were going to Denny's.
Right.
No, we're not taking you to Denny's.
Can we go to Denny's?
We're going to Denny's, but I'm going to smuggle in a bottle of peri-peri sauce.
Let's go to Denny's so then we don't have to pay for Anastasia's meal.
I see how it is.
Now that is the definition of cheap.
Okay.
Now, guys, she's still searching for Nando's in Queenstown.
Thank you, Nando's, by the way.
Oh, Nando's.
I freak out.
Do Americans have Nando's?
Wait, wait, wait.
We've got a lot of American podcasters.
Do they have Nando's?
Got Nando's in the UK.
It's a Portuguese chicken restaurant, basically.
It's peri-peri salt, peri-peri marinades.
Delicious.
Clint, just a wee drum roll.
I'm going to reveal the closest Nando's to us on our road trip.
Dunedin.
I mean, we could make the trek.
That's all I'm saying
And Nando's Mish
Me and you and me
And the caravan
Yeah mate I'm with you
We'll take our own caravan
We can sleep in the top
Party in the bottom
See you guys
Have a great
You guys always party in the bottom
You and Ben
Hey Google
What's the time?
It's 3pm, give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Kia ora, everybody.
Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint,
another socially distanced Brie and Clint show.
Brie, come in.
Hello, guys.
Hello. How's the couch?
You know, it's not the most comfortable couch. Could be better.
Have you Uber Eats during the show yet?
No, I haven't.
I feel like there's been a real drop-off in Uber Eats-like activity from you.
I'm not looking at your receipts or anything, but I feel like 2020 hasn't been...
And 2020 is the year of Uber Eats,
and it doesn't feel like there's been much action.
Well, I think the first lockdown, we didn't have Uber Eats,
and I got used to it.
Oh, yeah, we didn't.
You know?
And then I was kind of like, wait a minute, I can actually cook.
You just needed to go cold turkey.
Yeah.
And then I kind of moved on with my life.
Yeah, right.
Oh, good for you.
But can I suggest maybe getting some wings delivered this afternoon?
Or some of those chips that we usually get from the city.
The show chips.
The show chips.
Yeah, they are delicious.
I will think about it.
We have a show chip, everybody.
If it ever sounds like we're hungover doing the show,
just know that we're eating the show chips.
Or a lot of pasta.
Or a lot of pasta.
Oh, yes.
Clint loves when, you love when I come in hungover
because I order pasta for like 50 people.
Yeah, or a wholesale pizza.
Oh, now I'm getting hungry.
Okay, today on the show, Google Down is back.
Your chance to be crowned the best Googler in New Zealand
at 10 to 5 this afternoon and take home some free mobile fuel.
It is a tough game to win,
but I feel like today is the day for someone.
Yeah, Anastasia's going down.
Yeah, she's going down in a big way.
Oh, she's going down all the way down.
She's going down in Google Downs.
Oh, she's going down so hard,
she's never coming back up.
No, she'll probably never play again after this.
This is the end of Anastasia.
I'm winning today.
Good attitudes.
I'm going to take that mobile fuel from a listener.
Sick burn.
Deserving or not.
Sick burn from Anastasia.
Next on the show, though, we've discovered a superpower that some people have.
I don't have it, but Bree has it.
This is like, it's like when we talked about aphantasia that time, people who can't.
Although that wasn't a superpower as much as it was more of a super impediment.
This one, some people can smell something that other people can't,
and you can smell it, Brie.
Yeah, some people can smell silent but violent.
No, it's not silent but violent.
It's something else, something that I never knew had a scent.
And we'll talk about it next.
There you go.
ZM, Brie and Clint.
Brie and Clint.
TikTok broke the internet over the weekend. TikTok, TikTok, TikTok. So where do we get all of our news from now, Brie and Clint TikTok broke the internet over the weekend
So where do we get all of our news from now Brie?
TikTok
It is, no I thought that was the new 7 sharp
Yeah right, yeah
Yeah it's TikTok
You just go onto TikTok and you get all the latest news from around the world
I hope Hilary and Jeremy have got a TikTok
Well they should just put 7 sharp on TikTok now
Put it on TikTok, yeah right
Put it on, yep
This is the TikTok that really piqued our interest.
Apparently some people can't smell dead ants at all.
Like, just can't smell them.
Dude, huh?
Dude, huh?
That is a girl losing her biscuits about the fact that people can't smell dead ants.
And I was like, what do you mean?
I can't smell dead ants. But you can, Brie. can't smell dead ants. And I was like, what do you mean? I can't smell dead ants.
But you can, Bree.
You can smell dead ants.
Yeah, I thought this was something that everyone could smell.
Dude, huh?
Huh?
Yeah.
Explain to me what you mean by smell dead ants.
Like if you say, for example, you know when,
actually I don't know if it happens, it would happen in New Zealand
when it's about to rain really heavy or something
and you get all the ants in the kitchen or whatever.
Okay, let's say yes.
Does that happen?
Let's say yes, that happens.
Anyway, when there's a lot of ants around
and obviously some of them have died or whatever, I can smell it.
What does it smell like?
It smells like ants.
I don't know.
It doesn't smell like anything else I've ever smelled.
I can smell an ant if I squish it.
If I squish it and sniff my finger, I can smell it.
What?
That's a dead ant.
No, I know that's a dead ant, but you're telling me you can smell when there's dead ants around.
You go like, there's some dead ants in here.
Is that what you're saying?
If there's enough and if I'm close enough, I don't have to put it right near my nostrils.
I can stand in the kitchen and be like I can smell den ants
seriously yeah do you have
like do you have an overly sensitive
sense of smell or is it just an
ant thing I know this is not something you've ever considered
because it's normal to you but I'm telling you
being able to smell ants
I don't know that I think it's a super power
yeah like if I was on
Avengers Endgame
I'd come out.
I'd be the ant girl.
You'd go, where's Paul Rudd?
There's an ant man.
I'm ant woman.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, I can smell Paul.
He hasn't showered.
Quick round the room poll for a second of the producers.
Producer Ben, can you smell dead ants?
No, I don't think I can.
I don't think I even thought about it.
I never thought of having a smell.
No, so probably not.
Producer Anastasia, can you smell dead ants?
No, I can't, but I also posted a poll on our Instagram
and asked the people.
A third of our followers can smell ants.
Isn't that crazy?
Bizarre news to me.
I've never even heard of it.
And I also think certain ants smell different.
Yeah, really?
Yeah, different ants have different smells.
We have an ant called the green ant back in Aussie.
Yeah.
And if you get bitten by a green ant, people will know it bloody hurts.
Yeah.
But like they smell different.
What do they smell like?
They have a more pungent smell.
That's bizarre to me.
For the lack of a better word, you know how like some meats smell more gamey?
Oh, yeah, okay, yeah.
Like the green ant has a more like potent smell.
Right.
It's the wild boar of ants.
Yeah.
Just quick snap poll.
Oh, $800 a day.
Can you smell ants?
That's what we want to know this afternoon.
Yeah.
Yes or no.
Yeah.
Yes or no.
Keen to hear from you if you can't and you're like, what the actual F are you talking about
being able to smell ants?
I think I've got a feeling this is like the coriander thing,
where some people think coriander tastes like salt.
Some people are born with the gene, some people aren't.
Yeah, yeah.
So let's get to the bottom of it.
Can you smell ants?
Ant smell is a symbol.
0800 dial ZM or text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
TikTok has blown my mind anyway.
Someone talking about the smell of dead ants.
Apparently some people can't smell dead ants at all.
Like, just can't smell them.
Dude, huh?
Dude, huh?
I didn't know you could smell dead ants.
Is that what we sound like?
Like that person.
Oh, you mean Australians?
But could some babe not smell dead ants?
Quick question.
Is that what we bloody sound like?
Jeez.
Anyway, moving on.
Anyway, anyway, anyway.
Snap poll time.
Bree and Clint's Snap Poll.
We want to know, can you smell dead ants?
Bree can.
You can't describe the smell.
You see, it just smells like dead ants.
It's like a real pungent, maybe chemically kind of smell.
Someone's texted and said, absolutely, I can smell dead ants.
It's got such a strong smell of its own, kind of like honey.
Oh, there you go.
Wait, do they mean it's got a strong smell like honey as a smell of its own
or it smells like honey?
Or maybe it's like a strong smell like a honey.
Hard to know.
Jade's here.
Hi, Jade. G. Hi, Jade.
G'day, Jade.
Can you smell a dead ant?
Yes, definitely.
One of my fellow ant smellers.
Can you just smell when they're in your vicinity
or do you have to go over to the ant graveyard and give it a sniff?
No, I can just smell them.
Like I'll go into the kitchen and I'll know there's a dead ant somewhere.
What does it smell like?
Don't say dead ants.
I don't know.
There's nothing really like it, is there, Jade?
No.
Right, okay.
Yeah, it's like a real weird smell.
Fascinating.
Jane's here.
Hi, Jane.
Hi, Jane.
Hi.
Can you smell dead ants?
Definitely.
They smell of ammonia.
They smell of ammonia?
Yeah, that's about right.
Like a chemical smell, right, Jane?
Yeah, my dad was a builder growing up
and I used to always walk in and go,
poo, what's that smell?
And he could never smell it,
but they definitely smell of ammonia.
Really?
Yeah.
Fascinating.
Okay, let's go to Jo.
Hi, Jo.
G'day, Jo.
Yeah, hi, guys.
Smelling the ants, yes or no?
Absolutely.
I think it's a female thing.
Us girls, we've got the power to smell those ants.
Someone on the text machine said that it's been proven
that women can do it and men can't,
which I don't know if that's true,
but a lot of females calling up saying they can smell them.
In fact, we don't have any men calling
for our ant sniffing question.
Harmony, you can smell ants.
Hey, yes, I can.
What do you think they smell like, Harmony?
Well, because you know how there's like acidic and basic things,
so they're actually alkaline.
So I guess they might come from like bat trees or something.
Oh.
Basic, so that's kind of the explanation as to why.
Let me get it clear.
If you walk into a building that has an ant problem,
like a house that has an ant infestation, can you smell it?
Yeah, and when I was young,
I actually got bit by a bull ant inside my mouth,
so I know the taste of them too.
Oh, whoa.
Yeah, they don't taste good, do they?
Oh, ouch.
A bull ant, horrible situation.
Perrin is actually a man.
Hi, Perrin.
I am, hello. Can you a man. Hi, Perrin.
I am.
Hello.
Can you smell ants?
Yeah, I can.
But it reminded me back in year 13 chemistry.
We were learning about acetones and ethyl alcohols and stuff.
Yeah.
And we got to smell some.
And the teacher said that this one smelled,
a student said that it smelled like when you crush a whole bunch of ants
and then smell your finger.
Yeah, right.
And I just looked it up
and it might be ethyl formate or something like that.
I'm not sure what kind of statistic student he had.
Of course.
Ethyl formate.
Of course, it's ethyl formate.
It was right there in front of us all along.
Thanks, Perrin.
Interesting.
Well, there you go.
There are ant sniffers
and there are non-ant sniffers In this world
Clint someone
On the text machine
Said that they've
Tasted them before
Tasted dead ants
Yeah
Why would you
Taste a dead ant
I don't know
Maybe they're in like a
Do you reckon they're
In like meals
Anywhere around the world
Oh they will be
Yeah there'll be
Some kind of ant
Ant flower protein
Thing going on
And they'd be
Selling it for like
600 bucks
Yeah
Brian Clint From iHeartRadio ant flour protein thing going on. And they'd be selling it for like $600. Yeah.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is The Latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean's on the line.
Live from LA, Chris Hemsworth has posted an Instagram in which he looks absolutely massive, Dean.
Oh, my goodness.
So I wake up, all the g guys are messaging me and screenshotting me
and I'm like, what is going on? I thought it was Mardi Gras.
Anyway, it's not. It's
Chris Hemsworth. He's the shirt off.
Getting ready for his role as Hulk
Hogan. So if you haven't seen
it already, go to his Instagram. You're going to see him
flipping a tyre.
There's no need to flip a tyre. It's just an
Instagrammable moment, really.
I don't think there's any real fitness in flipping a tire.
But Hot, not going to complain.
Anyway, he's so massive.
He's so ripped.
He's so Hulk Hogan that even Hulk Hogan himself has commented on the photo.
And I think he might have even shared it himself.
Lots of celebrities are going on board and commenting,
like, this guy looks so big.
Ruby Rose has been commenting.
So check it out.
He's getting ready for his role.
It's a biopic about
the WWE stars, so he's
transformed into him in
every way possible. He'll make a great
Hulk Hogan, I reckon. He will. Do you guys remember
the reality show? Was it
the Hulk Hogan show? Was that what it was called?
Yeah. And his daughter was on there
and she was a little shunner.
Yeah, something like that. Yeah, Brooke Hogan.
Look at my Hogan. Was it? Yeah. Hold my Hogan. I think it was How big's your Hogan or... Yeah, something like that. Yeah, Brooke Hogan. Look at my Hogan, was it?
Yeah.
Hold my Hogan.
I think it was...
How big's your Hogan?
Yeah, yeah.
That was just a show about how big they all were.
Chris Hemsworth has said that getting the body in the right shape
hasn't been the hardest,
but it's getting the Hulk Hogan voice down pat.
Oh, I thought you were going to say the moustache.
Oh, yeah.
Do you remember?
He's still got it.
He's never not had it.
But that was one of the best handlebar moustaches I've ever seen. He's still got it. He's never not had it. But that was one of the best
handlebar moustaches
I've ever seen.
He hasn't grown out
the Hulk Hogan hair
so he must be going to do
a wig for the movie.
Okay.
Yeah.
Nah, he'll be perfect.
He'll be great.
37 years old,
Chris Hemsworth
and he looks like that.
Do you think I've still got time
to look like that, Dean?
You do already.
What do you mean?
Thank you, man.
You can be the body double.
Yeah, thank you.
Dean, we're not paying you for this.
I'm going to play Chris Hemsworth in a biopic.
That's the latest.

who are celebrating 35 years of Christmas cookies.

Bree and Clint.
Is this something you've ever thought about?
Bree, you know how people like to put their cars on Instagram
and do a car flex?
Normally you squat down next to the number plate and do a pose of you with the car.
Yeah, have you ever done that?
No, not something I've done.
Not something I'm interested in doing either.
You can't say I've ever done it.
I don't really want people to know my number plate, to be honest, is the main issue with that.
Well, if you had a cool number plate, like boobs with a Z.
Yeah, then that'd be my profile picture.
Then you'd think about it, yeah.
What is the most Instagrammed car?
A British personalised plate company has analysed the most used hashtags on Instagram to try and figure out what the most Instagrammed car is.
Okay.
And the winner is, most popular car on Instagram,
Mazda D-Mio.
Really?
Yeah Sick ride
The hashtags include
Hashtag Demio
Hashtag dudes with Demios
And hashtag do me in the Demio
No it isn't
That's a lie
I don't buy that
Yeah that's not a Demio
The most Instagrammed car is
It's a Porsche Panamera.
Yeah, Panamera.
That sounds like a type of bread.
It does sound like that, doesn't it?
Or a dessert, like a panna cotta.
Which I'm here for.
Yeah, the Porsche Panamera is a four-door Porsche,
and it has been hashtagged Porsche Panamera
334,000 times on Instagram alone.
So arguably that's the most Instagrammed car.
Second most Instagrammed car is a BMW 7 Series,
and the third most Instagrammed car is a Rolls-Royce Phantom,
which is the car that DJ Khaled has got,
and it has more than 250,000 hashtags up there.
I mean, how many people have that car to be hashtagging it?
Right?
I think it's because people put it up,
they see it in the street,
and they take a photo of themselves with it.
Like, if you walk past a Mazda 323,
you're probably not going to get a photo with it.
Whereas if you see a Porsche Panamera,
you might go, damn, give it a photo, upload, get the likes.
But the Phantom, there's probably, like, what,
like six of them in the world?
Well, good question, Bree.
I've taken a ferret around driven.co.nz, But the Phantom, there's probably like what, like six of them in the world? Well, good question, Brie.
I've taken a ferret around driven.co.nz, the car selling website,
and I've found some of these vehicles.
So if you want to own one of the most Instagrammed car,
let's start with the Porsche Panamera.
How much? You can get a Porsche Panamera.
There's one on driven.co.nz, a 2011 for $39,000.
How old is it? 2011.co.nz, a 2011 for $39,000. How old is it?
2011.
Okay.
I mean, it's pretty cheap for a Porsche.
It is cheap, but a sourdough is cheaper.
Yeah, that's true too.
Yeah, so is a panna cotta.
The BMW 7 Series.
I don't understand how BMWs work.
There's too many numbers, so I didn't look for one of those
because it's always a 713i215 or something, so those can stuff off.
I have found a Rolls-Royce Phantom, though.
I found one Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Okay, one for sale.
It's for sale.
It's in Wellington.
Yep.
It's a 2008, so it's not the newest Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Right.
But it's only done 22,000 k's.
Oh, pretty good then.
Fact that in.
If you would like to own the Rolls-Royce Phantom,
the only one for sale in New Zealand
and the third most Instagrammed car in the world,
it will only cost you $349,000.
I might just hashtag Mitsubishi Lancer.
Brie and Clint.
How bad a dancer are you?
Are you bad enough at dancing
that you think you could ruin a wedding with your dance moves?
Brie, you're actually not a bad dancer.
Oh, I don't know.
It depends how many drinks I have under my belt, I think.
You've got two or three electric moves that you manage to work into.
That's about it.
You impress them early and then just live off the fumes of that
for the next hour.
Actually, your three dance moves are on your Instagram story at the moment.
I saw you did them last night.
Yeah, no, that got taken down.
Copyright.
Oh, really?
Because of the music.
Oh, no.
A woman has posted a video to TikTok.
TikTok, TikTok, TikTok.
And she has titled it, How My Husband Ruined the Wedding.
Big call.
That's a lot of pressure to put on him.
So I'm thinking he cheated.
He didn't show up
You know that's all things that can ruin the wedding
No he did a bad dance to this song
No the worst thing he could have done
At first I thought it was the first dance
But on closer inspection I think it's that weird ceremony
That still happens at weddings
Where the woman sits in the chair and the man
wrestles a garter off her leg with his teeth.
Yes. It's very
sexually charged to be doing it in front of grandma
and grandad. I feel a bit uncomfortable
when I watch it at weddings. It's weird, eh?
I'm like, let's do it at the hens or the bucks party.
Yeah. Anyway, he has
flipped the narrative
and performed a strip tease on her
whilst doing it.
So he's wearing no shirt at his own wedding.
First of all, great move.
He's never going to regret that.
Wait, he's done a strip tease at the wedding?
On his wife, yep.
Oh.
And he's back, back, backing it up.
He's doing that move with the lap dance where he's reversing it in.
Twerking it back.
Doing the reverse cowgirl.
And then he's gone to spin it around, and as he's flipped his leg over,
he's kicked out, and he's kicked his wife in the face.
Oh.
He donkey kicked her.
Yeah, he donkey kicked her to the head.
Have a listen.
You can kind of hear it here.
You can definitely hear the moment where they... Someone was laughing.
Oh, no.
I'd be embarrassed.
I thought we could talk this afternoon about dance floor disasters
because I've been the victim of one.
Half of my front tooth, my beautiful teeth,
is now fake after a friend's dance moves got too vigorous.
And his elbow knocked a Heineken bottle into my mouth, which took off half of my tooth.
But were you on the dance floor with the Heineken near your mouth?
Yeah.
Well, I was drinking, yeah.
You know, I mean, you've got to be careful.
No.
I don't know whose fault that is.
I don't know if you took that into insurance.
Everybody takes their drink onto the dance floor.
It's not like a special table where you leave your drink, is it?
Well, so it was a house party.
What was I supposed to do?
Yeah, well, maybe.
Anyway, my fault or not, I lost half a tooth.
Have you ever had a dance floor injury or a dance floor disaster?
Of course I have.
I dislocated my thumb once.
Did you?
Trying to show off.
You know that song by the Pussycat Dolls, Buttons? Yeah.
Remember that song? And you know in the
film clip, Nicole
Scherzinger grabs a chair. Yes.
And she flicks it in front of her. Yes.
Like all sexy like. Yeah.
Yeah, well, I tried to do that at a
party, but I used one of those green
plastic garden chairs. Yeah. And I hooked, do that at a party, but I used one of those green plastic garden chairs.
Yeah.
And I hooked, like I grabbed the chair.
My thumb obviously was through the hole,
and as I flicked it, my thumb didn't come out
and it dislocated it all the way back to my wrist.
Oh.
There's a whole...
It's never the same.
There's a whole other phone topic in green outdoor chair injuries,
isn't there?
Yeah, when did you have an injury because of that?
But no, this afternoon we want to know your dance floor disasters, dance floor injuries.
What happened to you?
You can call us on 0800-DARLS-A-DEM or you can text your dance floor disaster to 9696.
We're going to get a lot of chin stitches from people trying to do the worm.
The worm or the caterpillar, yeah.
We're talking about dance floor injuries after a man has
kicked his wife in the face
at their wedding.
Not
so sexy.
Lucky she'd already said yes.
Lucky the document was already
signed. Nothing like spending
your first night as a married couple in the dog box.
We want to know this afternoon, have you had a dance floor disaster?
A dance floor injury? A dance floor emergency?
Stu's called up. Hey, Stu.
G'day, Stu.
How you doing?
What happened?
I may have set fire to my brother's bride's wedding dress.
On the dance floor? You set fire to my brother's bride's wedding dress coming from the dance floor.
You set fire to the bride's dress?
Yes, it was back in the days when you could smoke inside pubs and stuff.
Joe, what did you...
Did the cigarette land in the mesh of the wedding dress and just went up?
It sort of...
I still had it in my hand and it sort of brushed against it
and it was enough to knock the end of it off
and then it started smouldering without us noticing it.
Then there were flames and...
Is she okay? Is she okay?
Yeah, I'm certainly not her favourite person.
Yeah, right.
Stop, drop and roll.
Did she keep the half-charred wedding dress
or did she make you buy her another wedding dress
to keep in the wardrobe for the rest of her life?
I have no idea because I was asked to leave and I've never seen my brother since that day.
Whoa.
Oh, Stu.
Really? It tore the family apart?
Well, us two, yes, definitely.
Oh, Stu, that's not nice.
That's a real dance floor disaster.
Yeah, can you imagine Stu on the dance floor
and he's like, you're on fire.
And she's like, oh, thanks.
So are you.
No, you're actually on fire.
You're on fire.
Oh, poor Stu.
No, literally, you are engulfed in flames.
Let's go to Catherine.
Hi, Catherine.
What's your dance floor disaster?
Hey.
Hey, what happened?
What happened?
I have a very unlucky friend.
So we used to go to this really dingy bar back in South Africa Hey. Hey, what happened? What happened? I have a very unlucky friend.
So we used to go to this really dingy bar back in South Africa where you were still allowed to smoke on the dance floor.
Yeah.
Oh, no, another one.
She had two separate incidents.
So the one time she turned around and accidentally got somebody's cigarette
stuck into her eye.
Oh, no.
Yeah, it was pretty bad. She had to wear
an eye patch for a while.
No!
She was, you know,
doing a bit of moshing, because it was that kind of
club. And the end of
someone's cigarette fell down her fever.
Oh, in her boobies!
Oh, no.
So she had some pretty nasty
burns. It's so weird when you think about the time when smoking was legal Oh, and her boobies. Oh, no. So she had some pretty nasty boobs.
It's so weird when you think about the time when smoking was legal indoors
and you couple that with dancing and close together people in nightclubs and stuff.
People are literally holding a tiny little fire in their fingers
and not thinking about it, just dancing around, and everybody's got one.
The risk-reward factor is so different.
You and I, Clint, would have been at the age,
well, I remember when I first turned 18,
you could still smoke inside,
and I copped some cigarette butts to the arms before,
that's for sure.
Australia's ruthless, man.
It was illegal before I turned 18.
Really?
Well, there you go.
I lived through it, mate.
It was hectic times.
I've never been in a bar with ciggies,
but I've been in the mosh at R&V.
Yeah, you wake up the next day,
and you just smell like a chimney.
Yeah. Finally, Annabelle, what's your
dance floor disaster?
Hello. Hello. What happened, mate?
Oh, we were dancing
at my brother's wedding and
someone knocked my wine glass
out of my hand and I stood straight
on it and it went straight through my foot.
Oh! No
way. What kind of shoes were you wearing?
Oh, no shoes.
No shoes.
All right, well, now we've got it.
We know how we're hitting the dance floor this summer.
That type of wedding.
Full PPE.
There's some rules for the dance floor going forward.
Are you okay, Annabelle?
Yeah, I'm fine now.
I've just got a scar, but it ended my night pretty quickly.
That would traumatise me.
I'm glad it ended your night,
because the night that my tooth came out, it didn't end mine.
And I was like, well, deal with it in the morning.
I was at this Frankenstein face for the rest of the evening.
Bree and Clint.
Okay, everybody, here we go.
Welcome to Mrie's Room.
Brie's Room.
Brie's Room.
Brie's Room.
Brie's Room.
Brie's Room.
Brie's Room.
Welcome to Brie String.
Probably one of the dumbest radio segments you will hear this week.
Just this week, though.
Just this week.
There'll be something dumber next week.
Brie believes she can tell if someone's wearing a G-string without looking.
Let's hope it's without looking.
Wouldn't be much of a superpower if you had to have a look.
No.
We won't ask to look.
We are taking you on your word this afternoon,
and we are questing for a 100% Bree-string game.
Okay, we're looking for the perfect game.
Right. All right.
Five people.
You don't need to tell me the type of underwear they're wearing.
You just need to say whether it's a G-string or not.
Okay?
Okay.
Here comes contestant number one, Dana.
Hi.
Hi.
You're on with Bree.
She's able to ask you one question.
Dana.
Yes.
Let me ask you.
On first dates, are you a yes or a no to kissing on the first date?
Yes.
Ooh.
Me too, Dana, me too.
I'm going to say you're a G-string wearer.
You're wearing a G-string.
Dana?
Yes.
It's a good start.
We start with a win.
Thank you, Dana.
Okay, let's go to contestant number two Takina
Hi Takina
Hi
Hi
Bree has one question that she's able to ask you
Before predicting your downstairs situation
Tanika
Tanika
Tanika
Alright Tanika
Was that the question?
No
Let's hope that's not the question.
Tanika, bra to bed, yes or no?
No.
G-string, for sure, 100%.
Yes.
Yes.
Come on, get in there.
Come on.
No, no, don't say that during this game.
Thank you, Tanika.
Okay, contestant number three.
Welcome to Bree String, Ross Boss.
Hi.
Ross Boss.
Ross Boss.
Hi, guys.
Hi, welcome to Bree String.
Hello, Ross Boss.
This game's currently happening on your radio station, by the way.
Oh, this is a curveball.
This is my most, actually, I shouldn't lie, yes or no question.
Yes or no question, one yes or no question.
And all I will say to you, Bree, is Ross had a lot of forewarning
that he was going to be a contestant this week.
So has he gone into his wonderful wife's underpant drawer
and really served us up a curveball?
That's for you to find out.
Ross Boss.
Tongue or no tongue when you kiss?
When you kiss.
When you kiss.
Okay.
Either on the office or listening, yes.
Yep.
You think I'm running a G-string?
No, no.
What did you answer the question? You have to answer the question. Tongue or no? I said yes. I said yes? No, no. What did you answer the question?
You have to answer the question.
I said yes.
I said yes.
Okay, yes.
I said yes.
If only it was my wife.
Well, let's hope so.
Look, I know Stacey, Ross's wife, and she is a tiny lady.
And I don't think Ross could get his six-foot-eight frame
into one of her G-strings.
So I'm going to say no G-string, Ross.
You don't know that I've been shopping at bigg's.com.
The G-spot.
Ross, answer the question.
G-string or no G-string?
No, I don't wear a G-string.
Get in.
Get in.
All right.
Thank you, Ross Boss.
We're three from three.
Let's go to Hannah.
Hi, Hannah.
Hi, Hannah.
Hi.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Are you there, Hannah. Hi, Hannah. Hi. Oh, no.
Oh, are you there, Hannah?
You can't lose Hannah.
Yes, I'm here.
Okay, let's do this quickly.
Bree's got one question for you.
Hannah, pool parties, yes or no?
Yes.
G-string.
G-string before we lose her.
Hannah, G-string?
Yes.
Yes!
Wait, does that mean... They've got lose again? They've got one more.
You've got one more, and the perfect game is in our sights.
Lana, welcome to Bree-string.
Hi.
Hi.
Lana.
What do you do for a job?
I work in addictions.
Oh, addictions.
Addictions.
Yeah.
Interesting. Oh, That's really thrown me
That has told me absolutely nothing
That was the wrong question to ask
Oh no
Everything's riding on this
We've had
How many yeses and how many no's have we had?
Three yeses, one no
And the no was from Ross Boss.
Last week we had four yeses and a no, I think.
I'm going to say, I'm going to play the odds and I'm going to go no G string.
Lana, are you wearing a G string?
No.
Stop it!
We've done it. We've done it. I thought this
quest was going to carry us into 2023
and yet here we are. It's all over.
It's all over. Lana, congratulations. You were
just part of the perfect game.
Thanks. I feel
like people are going to say,
the haters will say it was a fluke.
Do we need to come back next week for one more game?
I think we might just have to.
Because we probably won't have enough to talk about,
so we may as well bring it back.

Brie and Clint.
Clint, I feel like we talk about weddings a lot on this show.
It's because they're back in fashion.
Yeah.
People are having them again.
Well, also, it's coming into wedding season.
Summertime is wedding season.
There's also a lot of drama, I feel like, that comes with weddings sometimes
just because of how stressful it can be, I think.
It's a high-pressure situation where things have to be perfect,
which means they won't be.
Exactly.
But there's a bride who has taken to social media
to complain about a wedding gift she received.
Oh, right.
Okay.
That's not the done thing.
No, it's not. She's taken to Facebook,
a Facebook group, and she's saying that her and her husband
were very hurt after they received two $5
towels as a present for attending their exclusive ceremony
and reception. She said that
the person who gifted her the two $5 towels
was one of their best friends and she felt like it was a bit disrespectful
after they'd spent so much on the wedding and made it all about the guests.
How did they know they were $5 towels?
That's a great question.
That's a great question.
They're just cheap shitty towels.
Well, maybe.
Maybe.
You can feel it, maybe.
Yeah, right.
Are two $5 towels a stink wedding gift?
Yes, they are.
There's no two ways about it.
It's just a bit of a putty wedding gift.
It is a little bit, yeah.
But does that give you license to complain about?
No, it doesn't.
Because now you're the a-hole for complaining about it.
But also, Clint, I feel like, you know,
not everyone has a ton of money to be spending on gifts.
And maybe the person gifting the towels wasn't in a situation
where they could spend a heap of money.
Maybe they were a single parent.
Maybe, you know, they were going through tough times.
They still obviously wanted to go to the wedding
to celebrate people that they love getting married.
But sometimes, you know, it's people's situations.
But you don't have to gift.
You don't have to gift as well.
That's the trap a lot of people fall into at Christmastime too
because you're absolutely right that people don't have a lot of money
for gifts, especially at Christmastime.
So a lot of the time you end up buying junk that you know
the person doesn't want and the person knows they don't want
and the person knows that ideally you didn't want to give
them this gift and we'd all just be a lot better off if we just went hey no gifts you know yeah is
it better so say obviously this these people were like we want gifts for the wedding is it better
if you don't have the money to get a nice gift to just not give a gift at all maybe really that's a
really good point yeah you know maybe and to honest, I would appreciate a heartfelt card.
Yes.
That would be spot on for me.
Macaroni picture.
Yeah.
Get the kids to make something.
A friend of mine gave me a macaroni picture for my 21st birthday.
It was awesome.
Yeah, see, I like that.
You can eat the macaroni afterwards.
No, you can't eat the macaroni afterwards because it's put on there with glue.
That's awkward because I did that as a kid.
Yeah, you're right.
The appreciative gift is extreme too.
It's really hard.
Yeah, it's really hard.
Yeah.
Which is where...
I remember I sat with my sister and my brother-in-law the day after their wedding.
Yeah.
And they had a wishing well.
Oh, yeah.
And I remember sitting there and they were opening all the cards
and, you know, obviously people, like, it's really confronting
because you obviously have to put money in a card if it's a wishing well
and you sit there and you, you know,
you can see how much each person has given in the wishing well.
Like, it's quite a full-on thing.
Some weddings now do anonymous things.
Like, they go, we've got a travel fund at House of Travel or whatever.
Oh yeah, I like that idea. And
they'll let us know after the wedding how much money is
in there and it's anonymous.
Because there's no pressure on people.
It is quite a stressful
thing, especially if you don't have a lot of money at the
time. Pro tip, if you don't have a lot of money at the
time and you are going to a wedding and they've got
a gift registry, get on
that thing straight away.
Because if they've set themselves up at Stevens or at like Freedom or something like that,
get the wooden spoon, get the placemats.
The spatulas.
Get the whisk.
The measuring cups.
Get the thing.
And that way it's something that they absolutely wanted, but you've managed to select the literally
the cheapest thing on the registry.
So, but the bride is, again, back to the point, the bride is the
a-hole for complaining about it. You just take it
on the chin and you go, I don't like this gift.
Oh well, suck it up.
Is it that big of a deal in the scheme of things?
Look, I'm not going to read
out some of the comments on social media,
but I don't think she got the
reception she wanted.
At least she's got a nice towel to her.
Yeah, right.
I've got some fashion news, Brie.
Who's the most fashionable one out of me and you?
It's you, eh?
You.
It's you.
No, I'm not fashion.
You're wearing fashion overalls right now.
There you go. That explains who it is.
Yeah, right.
Right there.
Just because we're not fashionable doesn't mean we can't deliver fashion news. Yeah, good point.
I have some news about the ultimate shoe
to do a shoeie from. It's been released. See, this is my type
of fashion news. Practical fashion. Fashion you can actually
use. Oh yeah Practical fashion. Fashion you can actually use. Oh, yeah.
The Australian beer VB or Victoria Bitter have released an official shoey shoe.
They posted it in April on their Instagram, but it was just a joke.
It was an April Fool's gag, but it was so popular that they've actually gone and bloody
made a shoey shoe.
It's brilliant.
I don't know if you know these shoes.
Do you know Dunlop Volleys?
Oh, mate, they are an Aussie icon.
Yeah, we got them here too.
Oh, you did?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, big time.
Sweet.
They're the shoes that everyone used for indoor football.
Yes.
Nice cheap ones, but great on a basketball court.
They've got a bit of rubber that comes up over the front of the toe. Yes. Nice cheap ones, but great on a basketball court. They've got a bit of rubber that comes up over the front of the toe.
So the VB Shoei Shoe is a Dunlop Volley high top.
Oh, there's high tops.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've never seen a high top.
They sound dope as.
It's better to drink from.
Oh, yeah, because you get that, you know, the leverage.
The neck, yeah.
Yeah.
So a picture of a high top, like a Chuck Taylor type thing.
And where the Chuck Taylor badge would be is a VB badge.
Oh, I like that.
And that's all that makes it a Shoei shoe.
They're not waterproof.
Oh, they're not like specially made?
No, they don't have a straw or anything.
But they're just saying if you're going to do a Shoei,
why not do it out of a VB Shoei shoe?
Imagine if a straw retracted out of the back of the shoe.
Yeah, but if you're not putting your lips on a disgusting shoe,
are you really doing a Shoei?
That's what you've got to think about.
VB have their timing absolutely spot on.
These shoes will be released just in time for festy season.
December 2nd, they will hit online stores,
and you can get a pair of VB Shoei shoes for $84.99.
Oh, jeez.
They're a bit X-y.
Aussie as well.
So more like $100.
Jeez, they've gone up
since I left the country.
Yeah, well,
there's a special edition.
You can also get VB socks
and a limited edition
VB chilli bin
to go with your
Shoei shoes as well.
Yeah.
Why not get the whole lot?
If you've got the money,
it could be the ultimate
Christmas present.
I wanted to ask a quick question
and I'm keen for some texts on this 9696.
Forget the shoe,
what's the ultimate drink to do as a shooey?
It's beer.
Is it beer?
I think it might be beer.
If you're putting something into a shoe
to do a shooey from,
what should it be?
Is it the higher the alcohol content
more likely to kill the bacteria in the shoe?
Like are you better to do straight vodka out of a shoeie?
Just metho.
Probably not that.
Do your shoeie through a piece of white bread,
if that's what you're doing.
You know what the ultimate shoe not to do a shoeie out of is?
The ultimate shoe?
Yeah, the ultimate shoe not to do a shoeie out of.
What shoe?
Crocs.
Hot fire fashion news right here on the Bree and Clint show.
Bree and Clint. I'm going to say
one of my top three celebrity
chefs, Gordon Ramsay,
is opening a new restaurant
and it's called...
Hell's Kitchen. No, it's called
Gordon Ramsay Burger Restaurant.
Is it? I think that's what it's called. That's what it says in the article. Who are your other called Gordon Ramsay Burger Restaurant. Is it?
I think that's what it's called.
That's what it says in the article.
Who are your other three top celebrity chefs, by the way?
Jamie Oliver.
Yeah, and Nigella.
And Nigella.
Yeah, right.
Where does Gino feature?
Is Gino in there?
Gino.
Gino, the Italian?
Gino.
Oh, my God.
You've got to get on board with Gino.
Sounds like I do.
He sounds like a bit of me.
He did a road trip with Gordon.
Oh, lovely. Yeah. I'll look that up after the show. We'll talk Gino after the show. Okay, we'll talk Gino. Sounds like I do. He sounds like a bit of me. He did a road trip with Gordon. Oh, lovely. I'll look
that up after the show. We'll talk Gino after the show.
Okay, we'll talk Gino after this. Anyway, talk to me about
Gordon's Burger Restaurant. Yeah, so he's
opening up a burger restaurant
in Harrods, which is like
that fancy store in the
UK. It's like Smith & Coie's
or Ballantine's or...
Exactly, yeah. And it caught my attention
because the price of a burger
at this restaurant, Clint, will blow your mind.
Okay.
How much do you think you would pay for a burger
at Gordon Ramsay's new burger restaurant?
Well, can you describe the burger to me at all?
What sort of burger are we talking?
Is it like pulled pork or a Wagyu?
We're talking a Wagyu burger which has a beef patty,
truffle pecorino cheese, mayonnaise, and fresh black truffles.
See, those are expensive ingredients.
So I know it's going to be expensive.
I need to come back to myself and be true to myself and say I would not pay more than $25 for a burger.
Yeah, I'd be pretty happy with that.
$25. With all those fancy ingredients.
At $25, it better come with chips.
Okay, so this doesn't come with chips.
Right.
That's extra, and I'll tell you how much that is on the side if you want extra.
At Gordon Ramsay's Burger Restaurant, for the Wagyu burger,
you'll pay $153 New Zealand dollars.
Are you shushing me?
No.
And then...
$150 for a burger.
Do you want fries with that?
Of course I want fries with that.
So that's an extra $12 as well on top.
Hang on.
Put the $150 burger to the side.
$12 for chips is a rip-off as well.
For a side of chips.
It's just deep-fried potato.
That's insane.
The $153, it better
be the best burger I've
ever put down my windpipe.
So that's $165
for a burger and fries.
Too much. But you know what it does?
You know what it does? What? Makes me want
it even more. Yeah, doesn't it? That's what
they do. That's how they get you. I don't know if
it makes me want $153
worth though, but I was like, what else is on the menu?
What else could I get, you know, if I went to the restaurant
just because I wanted to say I went?
Sure.
Also on the menu is a lobster and shrimp burger,
which will set you back $80.
But you can go for the cheaper option, the American burger, for just $40.
The American version of, oh, like just a cheeseburger?
Yeah, like a cheeseburger, the American burger.
$40 is the cheapest burger.
You don't want that?
What about a hot dog?
Does a hot dog interest you?
Yeah, a hot dog interests me, yeah.
Okay, that's $40.
$40 for a hot dog?
$40 for a hot dog?
Better be a good bloody sausage, I'll tell you that.
It better be a metre long.
It better be like a foot long. Maybe like a foot long.
Who wants a foot long?
Even a foot long hot dog for 40 bucks.
I still wouldn't be impressed.
Well, good for you, Gordon.
I'm glad you're doing well.
Good luck with that.
He's doing bloody well, obviously.
Who's the person who's scoffing $150 burger?
Yeah, I'd like to see the person that walks into a burger restaurant
and spends $150 on one burger.
You know how burgers go really good after a night out? Yeah. Can you imagine you're walking home and you're like, should we head into Harrods for a burger restaurant and spends $150 on one burger? You know how burgers go really good after a night out?
Yeah.
Can you imagine you're walking home and you're like,
should we head into Harrods for a burger?
Yeah, let's just get a burger.
How much would you hate yourself the next day if you found out
that you'd spend $150 on a hamburger?
Kebab's just as good, honestly.
When you're at that point, it does the same thing.
I was interested, though, this afternoon, Clint.
I wanted to know, because obviously these are some X-y prices on this food.
Yes.
How much has people listening to this show dropped on a meal?
It's my most expensive meal ever.
I've told you about this.
Yeah.
I took my wife out for her birthday.
We went to a degustation at a very fancy restaurant on Cuba Street in Wellington.
And I've always wanted to go there.
I was like, one day I'll go there and we'll just splash out.
We had a six- course degustation.
Delish.
It was $350.
For two people?
For two people.
Is that wine?
Yeah,
and we left hungry.
It was one glass of wine
and we left hungry.
You shouldn't be leaving hungry
from a degustation,
should you?
For $350,
you should not be hungry.
We went to McDonald's
on the way home.
And that didn't cost you that much.
And that cost $3.50.
Yeah, exactly.
Two Chicken McCheeseburgers, please.
$0.800 at M.
What's the most you've paid for a meal?
That's right.
I want to keep wine out of it.
I just want to go straight food.
Yeah, right.
Straight food.
How much are you dropping on the food at a restaurant?
You can also text us at 9696.
Maybe you had to pay for the whole family's Christmas at
Valentine's.
Oh, sorry, that's me.
Yeah, we're talking about Gordon Ramsay's
bloody expensive burger.
That's right. He's opening a new
burger restaurant in
Harrods in the UK and
he's charging $153
New Zealand dollars for a Wagyu burger.
Dress me a f***ing salad!
F*** you all.
That's me after I get the receipt.
Yeah, that would be.
That would be.
So we're asking you this afternoon, how much have you dropped on a meal?
Yeah.
What's the most expensive meal that you've had?
$150 for a burger is right up there.
Let's get Amanda on.
Hi, Amanda.
Hello.
Hey, hey, how's it going?
Amanda, when were you flashy and dropped heaps on a meal?
We weren't flashy.
We were over in Europe on a bus trip and we went to Florence and we were at the Batchuzza
and my husband didn't understand.
He was hungover, wanted something to eat and he spaced out 60 euro on two gelato ice creams.
60 euro on two gelatos?
Jeez, that's like a $120 gelato.
Oh, yeah, I know.
Yeah.
Amanda.
Was it good?
Yeah.
I remember that I couldn't finish it.
I was hungover as well.
Oh, no.
I had to eat it.
Nothing like a sign of regret with your hangover to make things worse.
Devastated.
Paul's here.
Hey, Paul.
G'day, Paul.
Hello, how are you?
Good, man.
Thank you, Paul.
How much did you drop on a meal?
Well, not technically a meal, more like an afternoon tea.
Yeah, here we go.
We were in Dubai and went and had high tea at the Burj,
the one down on the waterfront there.
Yes, Burj.
Very fancy, Paul.
Me and the girlfriend at the time, obviously now my wife,
but, yeah, it was about a grand.
A grand.
You spent $1,000 on high tea, little cucumber sandwiches and muffins.
Yeah, like a sawn and a muffin and probably the best cucumber sandwich
I've ever had in my life and I don't even like cucumber.
Was it prepared by the Sultan of Brunei?
What made it $1,000?
I don't know.
It came out on a gold platter though.
The three tiers was all gold and the hotel itself was like covered in gold.
So, yeah, I sort of felt completely out of place.
Are you kind of glad after obviously you splashed out to impress your girlfriend
that you married her at least?
Well, hindsight sort of set really high bar, unfortunately.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, you went too flashy too early.
She's like, damn, this is what life with Paula's like.
Signed me up.
This is me forever now. And then he's like, spoiler alert, when we get home, we eat at flashy too early. She's like, damn, this is what life with Paula's like. Sign me up. This is me forever now.
And then he's like, spoiler alert, when we get home, we eat at Denny's.
Yeah.
Richard, hi.
You've had a really expensive meal.
Oh, hey, yeah.
How much, Richard?
I spend quite a bit of time up in Las Vegas.
And, you know, after a day out with the boys doing a few different things,
we've been told to head to a place called La Burger Brasserie.
La Burger Brasserie.
Sounds good.
Yeah.
And it's one of those ones that's tucked away down the rabbit warrens of the
Paris Casino.
And, yeah.
All right.
They do something called the Triple Seven.
Yeah.
So $777 US.
It's, yeah, beautiful Kobe beef burger.
Wait, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
US?
So you're telling me you paid around $1,400 for a burger?
For one burger?
Yeah.
Well, day out with the boys, we all thought, you know,
it's like the waterfall effect.
Richard!
One person orders it, the remainder...
Richard, how drunk were you?
Pretty well on the way.
Each of them comes with a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon champagne,
so you get five guys sitting around a table
with five different bottles of vintage Dom
and not really sure what to do with it.
Does the burger come with the bottle of champagne
or is that extra?
No, that's included in this wonderful price.
I was about to say that.
Probably was the five rather upset wives.
Richard, can I just say, you baller.
You baller, Richard.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas
unless your business checks the account.
I was going to say, checks the bank statement.
Free and Clint.
Aye.
Aye.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Free and Clint's birthday banger.
All right, we do this every day at the same time.
We'll take three people, figure out what was number one on their 16th birthdays,
and then we'll pick the best song to play in full.
Let's start out with Hannah.
Hi, Hannah.
Hey, guys.
Hi.
Welcome to Birthday Banger.
How are you?
Oh, bloody great, guys.
How are you?
Good.
Yeah, not bad, Hannah.
You've got good energy.
I like that for a Wednesday.
Oh, yeah, you know.
Listening to you guys on the drive home, what can I say?
There we go.
We appreciate that, mate.
Let's do your Birthday Banger.
What's your birthday?
3rd of August, 1990.
All right, you were 16 in 2006 on the 3rd of August.
And here's your birthday banger.
Yes.
Banger.
That is 2006 in a song.
That song was massive.
What do you think, Hannah?
I love it.
It brings back so many memories.
Yeah, right?
How good was Nelly Furtado?
Bring her back, I say.
And Timberlands.
That whole shock value era.
He was amazing.
Okay, let's get Kaz on.
Hey, Kaz.
G'day, Kaz.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
Yeah, not too bad.
Kaz getting on.
Is your full name Karen?
No.
It's not Karen.
I thought maybe it was Karen and then because of 2020,
you've decided to shorten to Kaz.
Definitely not, but I probably would have.
Kaz.
What's your birthday, Kaz?
11 November 93.
All right.
You were 16 in 2009 on the 11th of November.
And on that day, this was number one.
I'd like to make myself believe
This planet Earth turns us around
Also a banger.
And angels.
No, Owl City and Fireflies.
Owl City.
You've got a magic birthday, by the way, Kaz.
11-11.
Yes, that's great.
Yeah.
I always see that on the clock.
Do you, Kaz?
Yes, yeah.
Spooky, eh?
It means we stay up late, Kaz.
What if it was 11 a.m.?
It could be.
You don't know.
We'll keep you guessing.
Hi, Grace.
Hi, Grace.
Hi, how's it going?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Yeah, good, thanks.
That's very good. What's your birthday? 21st of January, Grace. Hi, how's it going? Good, mate. How are you? Yeah, good, thanks. That's very good.
What's your birthday?
21st of January, 92.
All right, you were 16 in 2008 on the 21st of January,
and in 2008, this had a number one hit.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
That's awesome.
Original flow rider. Original Flowrider.
Yeah.
And Low.
Had a dance that people made up.
Usually just pointing, you point to the left wall
and then you point to the other wall
and then you just, you kind of bob down.
Do you remember that one, Grae?
Yeah, I do, yep.
Get low.
I think I put my back out doing that dance once.
Okay, we've got three really good birthday bangers.
Nelly Furtado's Permissious Girl,
Owl City's Fireflies,
and what's his name?
Flo Rida Low, yeah.
What's it going to be?
I like all of them.
I like them all.
Fireflies stands out.
It's weird.
It's different.
I haven't heard it in ages.
I'm going low, Flo Rida,
because we played that Fireflies song recently on Birthday Banger.
Have we?
Yeah, it wasn't that long ago.
Because I remember we said the same thing.
We're going to have to go to the producers.
Just want to check neither of us are going for Nelly Furtado.
No.
Okay, let's go today.
But they can pick whatever they want.
They can pick whatever they want.
Good point.
We'll go to producer Anastasia for the split vote today.
Anastasia, what's the winner of Birthday Banger?
It's got to be low.
It's got to be low.
It's got to be low.
Yeah, got to get low. Get us got to be low. It's got to be low. It's got to get low.
Get us through the Wednesday.

Zeddy and Breein claim the winner of Birthday Banger today
is Flo Rida and Lo.
Can you blow my whistle, baby?
Whistle, baby, let me.
From 2008.
Girl, I'm gonna show you how to do it.
God, he was big.
You know, it took me years to realise
that Flo Rida actually spelt Florida.
Me too.
And that's where he's from.
I was like, whoa.
And more than that, have you ever seen his logo, the Flo Rida symbol?
Yeah, it's in the Florida state outline.
Yeah, the back of the F is the shape of the Florida state, yeah.
I mean, it's very smart.
You can see why it was so successful.
It's a weird dude, man.
When I interviewed him once, he had a guy with him as part of his entourage
whose only job was to tell him when to eat.
Whoa.
We were interviewing him, and in the middle of the interview,
the guy interrupts the interview and he goes,
sorry guys, Flo's got to eat.
Flo, time for a banana.
Wait, is he a diabetic?
Oh, that's a great question.
Because, I mean,
that would be a good investment.
It was either for that
or the dude was massive
at the time, so.
I thought of it more
as a personal trainer situation,
but yeah,
it could be a diabetic situation,
yeah.
It could be blood sugar.
Bree and Clint.
As they say in Italy,
it's the time
of Google Down.
Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down?
What the hell?
I think Google's actually everyone's favourite Google game on the show
because there's only one.
Google Down where we get someone to take on everyone in the studio
at who is the fastest Googler.
The winner will take home some mobile fuel.
We invite a listener to play along with us
and take us down.
Tessa is that person today.
Hi, Tessa.
G'day, mate.
Hi.
Tell us where you get to choose the device.
What are we Googling on today, computer or phone?
We're on a phone, on an iPhone.
Okay. Okay, so has everyone
got an iPhone? No. Everyone has to get
an iPhone. We've all got phones.
Yes, everyone needs to have a phone. No laptops
because it can be an advantage
and we've got to look after Tessa. She's our main
priority. Tessa, what do you like?
She's winning, so don't worry everyone.
What's that?
I'm going to win.
You're going to win.
Yes, Tessie.
I like that.
I'm all for you winning.
You're in my corner, all right?
Okay, give us the rules, Bree. I am.
All right, guys.
The rules are I will give you the questions.
You need to yell out the answer, the most common answer on Google,
the first one that comes up for the question.
If you are the person to do this first and it is correct,
you will get a point.
First person to three points will take out the game this afternoon.
Okay, we're ready to go.
Alright, here we go. Question
number one. How many
calories does an avocado
have? Everyone
start googling. 160.
160.
Oh, Tessa.
No, I'm going to say it was Producer Ben.
I heard his raspy tones just before yours, Anastasia.
All right, one to Ben.
One to Ben.
Come on, Tessa.
You got this, mate.
Here we go.
Question number two.
What is the most powerful piece on a chessboard?
The king.
Producer B.
Queen.
You are on fire this afternoon.
I know you guessed it and it was a great guess because the queen, of course, is the most powerful.
Is he advantaged having watched the Queen's Gambit?
Yeah, absolutely.
Come on, Tessa.
Come on, mate.
Come on.
We all need this.
This could be the first
Google Down down trowel.
I will remind people,
if you think you know the answer,
you can risk it
and yell it out
without Googling,
but you will be out of the point
if you are wrong.
Tessa, you still with us, mate?
Yeah, I'm here.
That iPhone's not serving you
particularly well, mate.
It sounds rubbish. Sounds like someone else in the car. Yeah. All right, guys.'m here. That iPhone's not serving you particularly well, mate. It sounds rubbish.
Sounds like someone else in the car.
Yeah.
All right, guys.
Question number three.
Producer Ben, if you get this, you will take it out in a downtrow.
Maybe the first one of Google Down ever.
Here it comes.
A Google downtrow.
Nice.
How many months is a bottle, bottlenose dolphin pregnant for?
I will emphasize bott bottle nose dolphin.
8 years old.
9 months.
Good guess, Tessa, but that's
not right. 6 to 13 years.
How much?
12.
Tessa.
Why is Ben not even guessing?
10 months and 18 months. Between 10 and Tessa has Why is Ben not even guessing? Teen months and 18 months.
How many? 12.
Between 10 and 18 months.
Tessa has got it with 12 months.
I will give you a Google Down warning for the F-bomb, though, Tessa.
All right?
Oh, sorry.
No, you're all right.
You're all good.
Okay, Tessa on one point, producer Ben on two.
Question number four.
What is the population of Greece?
The first answer that comes up on Google Down,
that's what I'm looking for.
10.72 million.
10.72 million.
Anastasia is in with 10.72 million.
She's on the board.
Clint, I believe you're out of the game at this point.
I'm out of the game.
You know I start slow and I come in hot.
You got it, Tessie.
That's how I like to do it too, Tessie.
Hurry up, I'm putting my makeup on.
I'm serious.
All right, question five.
Anastasia and Tessie, you need this one to keep Ben out of the game.
Okay.
How old is Meryl Streep?
Start Googling.
71 years.
Oh, Anastasia's in.
Anastasia's in.
I just Googled Meryl Old and that came up.
71 years.
That is correct.
That means everyone is still in the game.
Question number six.
What is the fear of the darkness called?
Nectophobia.
Nectophobia.

I like Tessa's attitude
She's hilarious.
Okay.
And a come from behind.
Can I get a spot prize?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, you get a spot prize, yeah.
Maybe some new foundation.
I do.
I would go for some Meg.
Yeah.
All right.
Hey, no worries, mate.
We'll sort you out.
Bree and Clint.
I want to talk about Netflix for a second
because there's a particular show that's on Netflix at the moment
that is breaking records.
It's smashing them.
I'm talking about The Queen's Gambit.
Oh, haven't seen it yet.
Probably one of the best shows I've watched in a while.
Yeah.
Just because it's so different.
And I think the lead actress in it is just incredible um amazing
and female chess champion right yeah it's based on a book apparently because i looked into it
based on a book i think it was written in 2017 and they turned it into a series and it's absolutely
smashing the records apparently uh it's been watched watched in 62 million households in its first month.
Whoa.
Which is, like, massive.
Netflix said that the show had made the top ten in 92 different countries.
And in the UK, along with 62 other countries,
it is the number one most watched limited series.
Yeah, that's a big recommendation.
Man, there's good TV around at the moment.
There really is.
Do you want to know what it actually took the top spot from?
Yeah.
So it took the top spot from a show called, I haven't seen this, it's called Ratchet with
Sarah Paulson.
Haven't seen it.
Haven't seen it either, which they set their record with 48 million members in its first 28 days.
So it's absolutely blown it out of the water.
Is that a Netflix as well?
I think so.
I believe so.
But I thought we could talk about some of the biggest things that are being watched on multiple, all the platforms around the world on this week.
Yeah, right.
What's being the most watched.
Yep.
Of course, obviously, number one is The Queen's Gambit coming in.
Need to watch it if you haven't seen it.
Number two is on Disney Plus.
It's The Mandalorian.
Oh, people love The Mandalorian.
Yeah.
I've seen the first couple of episodes and it's really good.
I actually really enjoyed it.
You don't even like Star Wars and you like The Mandalorian.
Yeah, not really my thing, Star Wars, but this is such a
well-made show. They've obviously pumped a lot into it and it's really
well done, so I'd recommend that. On
Neon, The Undoing. Oh my god, The Undoing is
fantastic. Very popular with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant
if you haven't seen that. Do you reckon Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, if you haven't seen that.
Do you reckon Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant are the same age?
I think they'd probably be around the same age, yeah.
Because she looks about 30 and he looks about 104.
Yeah, he's showing signs of his, you know, he's lived his life.
Yeah, he's lived his life.
Number four coming in for the most things watched this week
on streaming platforms, Grey's Anatomy,
which is on Netflix. Get out
of here, Grey's Anatomy. What are you doing still
kicking around? Making a resurgence,
that's for sure. I don't know
where this, what streaming platform
this is on, but have you seen Yellowstone?
No, but I've heard about Yellowstone.
I've heard it's really good. Ben will have
watched it. Ben, have you watched Yellowstone?
You've seen everything. Have you seen Yellowstone?
I've never heard of Yellowstone.
Oh, haven't you?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
It's not on the Amazon Firestick?
Yeah, we'll put that one on the Firestick list.
It's not in the Pirate Bay folder on your desktop?
No?
Okay, sweet.
Cool.
No, no.
Number six, Fargo.
Oh, I love Fargo.
Which, that looks good.
I've never seen it before.
Number seven, heard heaps of people talk about this.
Billy Bob Thornton's in Fargo.
Or at least he's in season one.
Yeah.
Also on Netflix, number seven, The Crown,
which very popular at the moment because the season four's just come out.
It's incredible.
Yeah, very cool.
It's all about Princess Diana.
It's amazing.
Very accurate too, apparently, allegedly.
Some of the scenes are made up but the
historical stuff they reference is real
and anytime there's an interview on The Crown
you can actually go and Google
that interview and see the real version. So the episode
I saw last night, Prince Charles says
that someone says to him, you're very much in
love and Prince Charles goes, yes
well whatever love means.
And he actually said that in an interview.
You can just Google it and then go and watch the actual interviews from the 80s when he said it.
Yeah, it's bizarre.
That's so rough, isn't it?
Yeah.
Coming in at number eight, The Boys.
Okay.
Apparently it's on Amazon Prime Video.
Number nine, probably one of the most popular cartoons ever, Rick and Morty.
Yeah. And number ten. Is he new, Rick and Morty. Yeah. And number
ten. Is he new, Rick and Morty?
They must be. Or just people forever
watching Rick and Morty. Yeah.
It's very rewatchable. Number ten,
I haven't heard of this either, Wayne.
Is that about Wayne?
Wayne? Which Wayne
are you going to say? Wayne.
Wayne King. I was going to say Wayne Bennett.
If people know me, Clint, you know I love a bit of live TV stuff-ups.
I love the awkwardness of live TV.
Probably because we do it all the time on our show
and it's just reassuring to see that.
And you love the AM show.
And I love the AM show.
You identify with Mark Richardson and his opinions.
Okay, well let's not tell lies on the show.
You both hate Jacinda Ardern.
That is completely not true.
It's the complete opposite, actually.
Neither of you believe that white privilege exists.
Jesus.
I was watching the AM show, though, and it was quite interesting
because they were interviewing Judith Collins
and they were asking her about the lack of diversity.
I know we're getting all political,
but they were asking her about the lack of diversity on the National Party.
Correct, yeah.
And it was, you know, typical politicians.
They like to dance around it.
But Ryan Bridge, who was on the show this morning.
And has a wonderful man bun, by the way.
One of the best man buns I've seen.
I'm going to come out and say he's got the best man bun on TV.
Yeah, I think he'd be close.
He's also now an openly gay man, which, yes, queen.
And anyway, Judith pretty much came at Ryan Bridge
and said that there's no diversity on the AM show.
Right.
But take a listen as to what happened after that.
Should you have the opportunity to have a bigger party?
That it will look more like New Zealand
and less like a group of white people, frankly,
which is how it looks on camera at the moment.
Well, actually, come back to the AM show.
How do you look?
Well, I'm gay.
Yes.
So that counts for something.
Oh, that's lovely.
She's a woman.
And he's our token old white man.
Well, we've got myself, Dr. Shane, you know.
But we've also got some diversity.
That's pretty good from Ryan Bridge, to be honest.
And in the AM show's defence, Mark Richardson isn't even white.
He's orange.
He is.
Diversity.
Diversity.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
We got them all.
We got them all, baby.
Zedding, Spree, and Clint.
