Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:31 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.
Starting point is 00:00:52 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.
Starting point is 00:01:06 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.
Starting point is 00:01:22 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?
Starting point is 00:01:31 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,
Starting point is 00:01:45 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.
Starting point is 00:02:01 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.
Starting point is 00:02:16 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.
Starting point is 00:02:34 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
Starting point is 00:02:53 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,
Starting point is 00:03:05 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?
Starting point is 00:03:20 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
Starting point is 00:03:34 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:59 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.
Starting point is 00:04:11 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!
Starting point is 00:04:26 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.
Starting point is 00:04:47 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
Starting point is 00:05:03 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.
Starting point is 00:05:19 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.
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:05:52 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

Starting point is 00:06:56 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?
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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

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,
Starting point is 00:08:15 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.
Starting point is 00:08:27 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.
Starting point is 00:08:53 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?
Starting point is 00:09:09 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
Starting point is 00:09:24 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?
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:09:57 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
Starting point is 00:10:12 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?
Starting point is 00:10:29 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
Starting point is 00:10:49 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.
Starting point is 00:11:05 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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.
Starting point is 00:11:30 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.
Starting point is 00:11:45 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?
Starting point is 00:12:02 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?
Starting point is 00:12:14 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,
Starting point is 00:12:25 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.
Starting point is 00:12:41 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?
Starting point is 00:13:00 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.
Starting point is 00:13:12 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.
Starting point is 00:13:31 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.
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:02 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Jane's here. Hi, Jane. Hi, Jane. Hi. Can you smell dead ants? Definitely. They smell of ammonia. They smell of ammonia?
Starting point is 00:14:21 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?
Starting point is 00:14:35 Yeah. Fascinating. Okay, let's go to Jo. Hi, Jo. G'day, Jo. Yeah, hi, guys. Smelling the ants, yes or no? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:45 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.
Starting point is 00:15:03 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.
Starting point is 00:15:22 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?
Starting point is 00:15:39 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?
Starting point is 00:15:48 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.
Starting point is 00:16:07 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.
Starting point is 00:16:20 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
Starting point is 00:16:28 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
Starting point is 00:16:36 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

Starting point is 00:16:57 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
Starting point is 00:17:16 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.
Starting point is 00:17:31 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
Starting point is 00:17:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:01 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.
Starting point is 00:18:12 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.
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:32 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?
Starting point is 00:18:40 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Brought to you by Cookie Time, who are celebrating 35 years of Christmas cookies. You can book a seller now at christmascookies.co.nz. 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.
Starting point is 00:19:07 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.
Starting point is 00:19:22 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
Starting point is 00:19:49 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
Starting point is 00:20:03 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
Starting point is 00:20:21 334,000 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?
Starting point is 00:20:47 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,
Starting point is 00:21:02 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.
Starting point is 00:21:19 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.
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:53 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,
Starting point is 00:22:07 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?
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:42 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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
Starting point is 00:23:15 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
Starting point is 00:23:34 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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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.
Starting point is 00:24:03 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.
Starting point is 00:24:32 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?
Starting point is 00:24:57 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?
Starting point is 00:25:12 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?
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:25:42 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.
Starting point is 00:25:58 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.
Starting point is 00:26:18 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.
Starting point is 00:26:40 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?
Starting point is 00:26:57 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...
Starting point is 00:27:21 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.
Starting point is 00:27:38 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.
Starting point is 00:27:57 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.
Starting point is 00:28:11 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?
Starting point is 00:28:22 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.
Starting point is 00:28:41 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.
Starting point is 00:29:00 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.
Starting point is 00:29:20 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.
Starting point is 00:29:35 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:02 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.
Starting point is 00:30:17 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.
Starting point is 00:30:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:48 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.
Starting point is 00:31:08 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.
Starting point is 00:31:25 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.
Starting point is 00:31:37 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.
Starting point is 00:31:52 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.
Starting point is 00:32:07 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
Starting point is 00:32:18 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%.
Starting point is 00:32:36 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.
Starting point is 00:32:54 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.
Starting point is 00:33:04 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.
Starting point is 00:33:28 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.
Starting point is 00:33:44 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.
Starting point is 00:33:53 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?
Starting point is 00:34:16 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.
Starting point is 00:34:22 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.
Starting point is 00:34:33 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.
Starting point is 00:34:46 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.
Starting point is 00:35:02 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
Starting point is 00:35:20 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!
Starting point is 00:35:47 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.
Starting point is 00:36:03 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.
Starting point is 00:36:53 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,
Starting point is 00:37:11 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,
Starting point is 00:37:28 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?
Starting point is 00:37:57 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?
Starting point is 00:38:09 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,
Starting point is 00:38:25 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.
Starting point is 00:38:46 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
Starting point is 00:39:05 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.
Starting point is 00:39:33 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.
Starting point is 00:39:48 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.
Starting point is 00:40:02 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.
Starting point is 00:40:23 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
Starting point is 00:40:40 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.
Starting point is 00:40:54 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?
Starting point is 00:41:14 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?
Starting point is 00:41:35 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.
Starting point is 00:41:46 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
Starting point is 00:42:24 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.
Starting point is 00:42:36 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.
Starting point is 00:42:54 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.
Starting point is 00:43:08 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.
Starting point is 00:43:26 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.
Starting point is 00:43:46 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
Starting point is 00:43:56 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
Starting point is 00:44:04 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.
Starting point is 00:44:16 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.
Starting point is 00:44:31 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.
Starting point is 00:44:50 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?
Starting point is 00:45:05 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?
Starting point is 00:45:14 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.
Starting point is 00:45:22 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
Starting point is 00:45:38 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?
Starting point is 00:45:56 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.
Starting point is 00:46:24 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.
Starting point is 00:46:42 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.
Starting point is 00:46:55 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.
Starting point is 00:47:10 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?
Starting point is 00:47:26 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.
Starting point is 00:47:47 $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?
Starting point is 00:48:00 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.
Starting point is 00:48:13 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,
Starting point is 00:48:28 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.
Starting point is 00:48:47 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.
Starting point is 00:49:02 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,
Starting point is 00:49:12 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.
Starting point is 00:49:21 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?
Starting point is 00:49:32 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
Starting point is 00:49:45 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
Starting point is 00:50:03 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.
Starting point is 00:50:19 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.
Starting point is 00:50:33 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.
Starting point is 00:50:59 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.
Starting point is 00:51:12 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.
Starting point is 00:51:23 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.
Starting point is 00:51:39 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.
Starting point is 00:52:04 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.
Starting point is 00:52:24 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.
Starting point is 00:52:40 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.
Starting point is 00:52:58 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?
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:53:33 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.
Starting point is 00:53:54 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.
Starting point is 00:54:10 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.

Starting point is 00:55:21 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.
Starting point is 00:55:35 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

Starting point is 00:57:25 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.

Starting point is 01:01:39 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.
Starting point is 01:02:02 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,
Starting point is 01:02:19 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
Starting point is 01:02:30 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.
Starting point is 01:02:39 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
Starting point is 01:03:05 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.

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

Starting point is 01:04:39 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.
Starting point is 01:04:58 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.
Starting point is 01:05:09 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?
Starting point is 01:05:21 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.

Starting point is 01:06:16 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.
Starting point is 01:06:33 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.

Starting point is 01:07:57 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.
Starting point is 01:08:13 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
Starting point is 01:08:39 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.
Starting point is 01:09:10 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.
Starting point is 01:09:30 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.
Starting point is 01:09:48 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.
Starting point is 01:10:03 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.
Starting point is 01:10:30 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,
Starting point is 01:10:51 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.
Starting point is 01:11:07 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.
Starting point is 01:11:16 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.
Starting point is 01:11:29 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.
Starting point is 01:11:45 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
Starting point is 01:12:03 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.
Starting point is 01:12:18 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.
Starting point is 01:12:36 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.
Starting point is 01:12:59 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.
Starting point is 01:13:17 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.
Starting point is 01:13:40 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
Starting point is 01:14:02 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.
Starting point is 01:14:19 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.
Starting point is 01:14:32 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.
