Hello everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast. As a disclaimer, this is being recorded before we know the results of the US presidential election. Correct, so we can talk about something else. Oh yeah, but just so you know, if you listen to this and they go, what, how come they're not talking about the election? They're probably not. True. They're probably not. I've got a story to talk about. Go on then. I mentioned it on the podcast today, but something really creepy happened this morning.

Go on then. My puppy Whitney, she's what, 13, 14 weeks old now. She got out. She escaped this morning. Yes. And we could have lost her. Like that's how serious. Right.

So my partner and I was at home and she was being a little shit, just like biting us and stuff. So we put her in the front yard, which is the only place which we've. Wait, how did she escape? I know that you and your partner spent like three days chicken wiring. So get this, right? So we chicken wired all underneath the deck and because that's where she'd go under the house.

Yeah. So we chicken wired all of that and that's held up. So that's working perfectly. But there's one part because there's like a side part of the house which goes down to the back of the house, like a little back courtyard, and we put like a wood board up and, to be honest, it was a pretty dodgy job and then like a couple of buckets and something else.

Anyway, last night I got home and my flatmate Ben goes, I think she can get out around the side because I found her in the back courtyard. Anyway, I was like, oh shit. So I moved some stuff around to make sure that it was secure. And then this morning we've put her in the front yard and we were probably, we're doing some stuff in the lounge room. And then all of a sudden the doorbell rings and she'd probably been in the backyard for about 15, front for about 15 minutes doorbell rings my partner opens the door it's a courier with a t-shirt that i bought and my partner goes holy shit and there's whitney sitting on the driveway just out in the open. She's escaped. Get this.

If we hadn't have got that courier at that exact moment, she could have ran down the road, got hit by a car. Guess what T-shirt was getting delivered? What? My new Whitney Houston T-shirt. That is some spooky shit. Is that not creepy or what? Yeah, right.

Yeah. She was out signing for your package She goes I've got it guys Yeah I've got it It's fine She'll get out But she knows where she lives

Yeah I was really surprised That she actually There's always a risk of cars But Yeah This is what owning a cat is like You can't fence a cat out Cats are smart though

Good afternoon, New Zealand. And welcome to the Bree and Clint Radio Show on America Day. Big day in the States today. Obviously, Trump v. Biden all going down this afternoon. Yeah, it's being calculated right now. Literally, as we speak, we will have the result on our show as soon as we know. If we know. If we know. If a result comes up.

Depending on the result, yeah. Do we care? We care, eh? I think we care because it definitely affects the rest of the world, whatever that decision is. Plus, Brie's a big Trump supporter, so. Are you kidding me? She drove here in her pickup truck. Big, big thundering V8 thing.

Gotta love Trump. It's got two Trump flags on it. She parked in a disabled car park. The only thing I like about Trump is that he's the same colour as my favourite chips. Cheetos. Today on the show we will cross live to Jack Tame from TVNZ. He's in Washington, D.C. at the moment. He can give us a breakdown on what's going on.

It's kind of hard to understand how the election result works in the States. But Jack's very smart, and Jack knows, and Jack lived there for a long time. So we'll deflect it to him. We'll go, dumb it down for us, Jack. Tell us what's going on. Clint. Yeah. But Jack's real smart. We'll go, dumb it down for us, Jack. Tell us what's going on. Clint. Yeah. But Jack's real smart.

Yeah, man, he's real smart. He's real smart. He's got it. Hang on, here's a bit. Here's a bit. Playball! I don't know if they hit that note. I mean, I don't mean to be critical, but...

All right, says you, Mr. Friday Oki. We're going to start the show with a cookie time giveaway. If you want to play, give us a call now. 0800 DIAL ZM. It's just begun. Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Joining us live from America, first of all, Dean, are you safe?

It is election day. Are you okay? I am safe. I am okay. I'm not going to lie. I do have a bit of anxiety. I'm not going to even try and hide it. It's this weird feeling of none of us know how this is going to go.

All my friends who have stores in LA have barred up all their windows with wood. People are a bit nervous to go out because, you know, it could really hit the fan tonight. We don't know how this is going to go. How it's going to play out. We don't know when we're going to know. Who do you think, Dean? You're living over there, have been for a long time now.

Who do you think is going to win and become president today? Oh, God. Do you know what? Honest to God, I have no idea. No, it's so close to call, eh? It's so close to call, and I've just been watching the polls. You know when you watch your Uber? You know how you're waiting for an Uber and you watch the little car on the map?

It's like that. It's so anxiety. And I've just been watching the polls. So close. As they've been blue, red, blue, red, and there's been one person leading the popular vote and the other one's leading. There's a lot of Trump supporters out here, and they're silent.

Like, a lot of them are silent. Silent assassins. Silent but violent. Speaking of Trump, you've got some Trump news for us on Election Day. This is kind of, like, hilarious. He announced one of his supporters, who's a little pump, announced him as little pimp as he welcomed him to the 21st. Oh, my God.

It was a daggy dad. He said, welcome, Lil Pimp. And they were like, it's Lil Pump. You're obviously not that big of a fan. The 20-year-old rapper took to the stage, looked a bit out of place among all the, all the Trump supporters, no teeth. So it's just like, you know, it's a circus.

It is a circus. We've got a little bit of the audio here. Check this out. And speaking of sound, music, and other things, one of the big superstars of the world, Little Pimp. There he is. How's it going? Do you want to come up and say something?

Come on. Little Pimp. Come on. Does everyone know who he is? You don't. Do you want to come up and say something? Come on. Little Pump. Come on. Does everyone know who he is? You don't. Do you know how big he is? Hello, everybody. How are you guys feeling?

Oh, my God. Oh, no. Is Lil Pump a Trumper? I didn't realise that. You mean Lil Pump? Yeah, right. I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't realise it either.

How good's the expert segue from Donald Trump, too? Speaking of sound and music and all other things. And stuff that is relevant to the young youth. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles on Election Day with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Thanks to Whitecliffe College, you can study art, design, fashion and technology with Whitecliffe. Bree and Clint.

This afternoon, everybody, I've got an amazing story of animal survival. From New Zealand, actually. Do you think that sound effect is a person or an actual... It's a person, isn't it? I don't know. Pays not to think too much about these things. Don't look behind the curtain. Kind of sounds like Scooby-Doo.

It's like the Wizard of Oz, you know, when she goes to the Emerald City and she finds out that the Wizard is just a small man. I hate that part. Yeah. Don't look behind the curtain, okay? Yeah, just have a look. Just, just...

Especially if you're staying at your parents' house again and you go into the bathroom when your parents are showering. Don't look behind the curtain. Don't look. Ashley and Regan's dog, Roxy, has been found after being missing for quite a long time. How long? Roxy is an outside dog who wanders,

but doesn't go very far, doesn't go too far. Okay. And she never goes missing. But after 24 days of your dog not coming home, you'd be pretty concerned, right? You'd think that they were gone. They live in Gibston, which is between Arrowtown and Cromwell in the South Island.

And they looked everywhere for Roxy. They did the usual. They did social media posts. They drove around all the areas. Searched. They searched on foot. They even went up in a helicopter looking for their dog. And on day 24, they pretty much accepted the fact that Roxy's not coming back.

Yeah. Which sucks. Which is really sad. And anyone who's had a pet go missing, you're always looking for them. You're always looking at animals that look like them and go, could that be them? You'd rather, even if they have passed on, you'd rather just know. You want to know. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, they're like passed on, you'd rather just know. You want to know. Yeah.

Yeah. But anyway, they're like, oh, well, hope's fading. And then they get a call from their neighbour, and their neighbour was outside splitting some logs and found Roxy underneath a woodpile. She had obviously been, I guess, playing around near this woodpile and it had, like, collapsed on top of her. And she was under there next door to their house for 24 days.

She's alive. How did they not hear her barking or something? She doesn't bark. Oh, come on, Roxie. They said she's a good dog who doesn't bark. That's the one time you're allowed to bark. So when they were calling for her and they were walking past the woodpile, she wasn't even barking.

Oh, bless her. I know. So thank goodness they found her. 24 days under the woodpile, she wasn't even barking. Oh, bless her. I know. So thank goodness they found her. 24 days under the woodpile, they took her to the vet. She's lost five kgs and they said she was a bit stiff. How did she survive without water? There's nothing wrong with her. How did she survive without water?

I don't know, maybe it rained. Oh yeah, maybe it rained. Licked it off the logs, I don't know. But that is an amazing story of animal survival. That's ridiculous. Yeah. Did I tell you my dog, my puppy Whitney, got out this morning? Did she?

Yep. How long was she missing for? Escape artist? Probably about three minutes. That's an amazing story of animal survival. She survived. Oh, $800. We want to know this afternoon, how long was your animal missing for?

It could have been a lot longer than 24 days and then it showed up. Some people it's had, like, there's been years. It might have been years. Those stories are incredible. They go to the SPCA, they get scanned and they ring you up and they go, hey, we've got your dog here. And you go, I don't have a dog. And they said, you do have a dog five years ago.

And you go, oh my God, you found my dog. You found Otis? Yeah. So if you've got a story of your pet coming back, we'd love to hear it this afternoon. Give some hope for maybe a few people out there who are missing pets. Yeah, right? You never know.

You can't give up. You never know. Give us a call on 0800-DIALS-ZM or you can text your story in to 9696. Bree and Clint. We're talking amazing stories of animal survival. Roxy the dog has been found under a wood pile After being missing for 24 days

God, pets are amazing In the South Island Dogs, she survived for 24 days Yeah That's incredible She just lost 5 kgs and got a bit stiff What kind of dog was she? Labrador? These are awesome questions

I think I saw a picture of her She's a black lab Yeah, black Labrador I'm looking at her. I think I saw a picture of her. She's a black lab. Yeah, black lab. I'm looking at her now. She's a gorgeous black lab. The vet said she survived because she had a bit of extra weight to survive off. Oh, well, there you go. So there you go.

So I would last longer than you. No, you would not. We want to know, do you have an amazing story of animal survival? Hi, Jo. Hi, Jo. Jo. Hello? Jo. Jo. Hello? Hello.

Jo, how long was your animal missing for? Oh, no. We'll come back to Jo. No, Jo. Let's check Jo's line. We'll come back to Jo. We'll go to Dee. Hi, Dee.

Hi, Dee. Hi. Hi. What's your amazing story of animal survival? My cat was missing for two and a half years. Whoa. Oh, my God. Where was it?

I moved house and I kept going back looking for her. She disappeared the night before I moved. And I kept going back for her. And after a year, I couldn't find her. And I advertised her on Facebook, et cetera. And then somebody popped up a year after that and said that they found a cat that fitted my description. Oh, my God. That's amazing.

Were you so, like, stoked? Yeah, I was. I was. You see those videos, like, when people come home from war and their dog sees them. Yeah. And they're like, oh, oh, oh, oh. I still know who they are. Was it like that?

Because I imagine cats might be a bit more like. Oh, they remember. Yeah. They know. She was very excited and, yeah, and now she likes to sleep on my head. Literally, she sleeps on my head. She's like, you're not going anywhere, mum. Yeah, right. I'm not.

You're not going anywhere. There's some really good text on this. Someone texted her and they said, not sure how long my cat was missing for, maybe a week or two, but when she got buried alive underneath the concrete tiling in between the pool, when the planter box got filled in, we put a plant in. We could hear some faint meows, so we ended up digging it up and there she was.

Your cat got buried alive. Whoa. Well, there must have been a spot, you know, where she was, obviously. That's incredible. Isn't that amazing? You would feel so bad. Yeah. Terrible. You're right. Have all the friskies you want. Let's go to Avril.

Hey, Avril. Hi, Avril. Hi. Amazing stories of animal survival. What's yours? My family friends had this silver cat, ironically named Sylvie, and they relocated their house and Sylvie disappeared.

And then my family friend was out for a run one morning and saw the cat and she'd returned home after being missing for 13 years. 13 years! You're kidding me. How did they know that it was the same cat? Because the cat came up to her and was all chummy and things. And you recognise your cat? Yeah, she recognised the cat and she to her and was all chummy and things. And you recognised your cat? Yeah, yeah, she recognised the cat and she responded to the name.

So, yeah, it was a... That's ridiculous. We're not expecting it. You just want to be like, where the bloody hell have you been? Yeah. Apparently she'd been living under the house and they didn't know. What? So she'd been there the whole time? She was a wild cat.

Yeah, right. Yeah, she just turned wild and would only come out at night, obviously. I know cats are aloof, but 13 years is incredible. Thanks, Avril. I need to read this one last text. Someone texted her and they said, I gave my in-laws our cat, Bo, about two years ago. She's a beautiful black cat,

and last Christmas we saw a post on our community page where a black cat had been run over. The in-laws were out camping so I went and checked and sure enough Bo was missing. We went and saw the cat and yep it was Bo. I cried on the kitchen floor. I was a mess and my in-laws were very sad. We all buried her and gave her a nice send-off. Three days later, Bo strolled in the front door. She had risen from the dead. Turns out the cat we buried was someone else's cat. Oh, my God.

I know it's sad, but it's very funny. It says, at least we gave her a nice send-off. Those are amazing stories of animal survival, except for the cat they got buried. Can you imagine when Bo turned up? Everyone would have been like, whoa. That's Jason Derulo and Josh685 Savage Love. You have

pizza on your face. There's an American party out there and I'm always missing out. It's my favourite pizza. Brie's run in with literally three seconds before the song finishes in. And she has the biggest piece of sales pizza you've ever seen. And pizza all over her face.

Be honest with me. Did you eat a slice before coming back in here? I had a few buffalo wings. They're my favourite. Be a goddamn professional for once in your life. Okay, let's talk Gwyneth Paltrow. She's the person who bought us the candle that smelled like her vagina.

Genius. It was actually genius. It was. Yeah. Sold out. Now she has a new item. She's bringing us a bed that smells like her vagina. No, she's not.

That is not true. Yeah, she is. No, she's not. I'm not buying that. Why is it fine for a candle to smell like your vagina but not a bed to smell like your vagina? It's just different. It's a little too close to home, eh's not. I'm not buying that. Why is it fine for a candle to smell like your vagina but not a bed to smell like your vagina? It's just different. It's a little too close to home, eh?

No, it doesn't smell like that, but it is a bed. She's bringing out her own bed. Yeah, she's done a collab, because it's a thing to do, with an American mattress company called Avocado. And they're going to sell them on the Goop website. The bed is a climate-, ethically sourced bed, which will cost the low, low price. $88,000 for a queen size bed.

Are you kidding me? $88,000. $88,000? The bed has 29 layers, including wool from India, alpaca from Peru, cashmere, cocoa fibre, non-violent organic silk. I don't know what that is. Cotton, organic flax, recycled steel coils on foundations made from reclaimed or sustainable hardwoods from Oregon.

Wait, so you're telling me I'm paying $88,000 for recycled stuff? The secondhand springs. You're kidding. Yeah, sustainable. It looks lovely.000 for recycled stuff. The secondhand springs. You're kidding. Yeah, it's sustainable. It looks lovely. It does look nice. And it would be. I mean, it's not for you because it's not a waterbed, so.

Gwyneth would make a hell of a waterbed. I don't know how you make. No, she's sane. She doesn't dabble in waterbeds. You leave waterbeds out of this, all right? When they become cool again, don't come to me for advice on the perfect waterbed temperature. Again, they were never cool. They for advice on the perfect water bed temperature. What do you mean, again?

They were never cool. They were cool in the mid-70s. And yes, I slept in one of the 90s. You weren't alive. It's not about me, okay? It's about going to this $88,000 bed. How much is your bed worth? I think we paid about, we shelled out for ours.

I spent quite a lot on my mattress because I broke my back. Yeah, I think we paid about $ and a half grand for our bed. Oh, that's not that much. Yeah, okay, how much did you pay for your bed? Rather not say. More or less than $88,000. Oh, it's less. Yeah, right, okay, that's the main thing.

How long have you had your bed? I've had mine four years. And did you buy it brand new? Yes. There you go, that means you're an adult. Yay! Yeah. Everybody at some stage in their life has had a secondhand bed. And did you buy it brand new? Yes. There you go. That means you're an adult. Yay. Yeah.

Everybody at some stage in their life has had a secondhand bed. I feel like there is a lot of things I would love secondhand. Clothes, can do. Yeah. Sunglasses, go for it. Cooking stuff, yeah, pots and pans, secondhand, no worries. Bed, no. But it doesn't mean that at some stage in your life you don't have to have a secondhand bed.

Oh, no, I have. Like when I was a student, $100 was the maximum amount of money I had allocated for a bed. I don't even want to know what the mattress that costs you $100 look like. And when you buy it off Trade Me and you've never met the people before, you have no idea where that mattress has been. You have absolutely no idea what has gone on in that mattress. Did you have to meet the people that you were,

like, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Like, I'd rather not meet the people. I'd rather just not know. You don't want to be contactless. Yeah. Put the bed under a tarpaulin on the side of the road.

And we don't have to meet. I'll leave cash in the envelope in the letterbox. We don't have to know. It's fine, you know. We want to know this afternoon, and this should be a bit of fun. We want to know,

what's your bed's backstory? Was it your grandma's bed? Yeah, was it grandma and granddad's bed and you got it handed down to you and you're still sleeping on it? Was your mum made in that bed and then now you have it? Were you made in the bed that you now have? Did your parents give you their bed when you went flatting? It's the circle.

And they said to you the circle of life we've had that bed for 20 years and you're only 18 years old

okay if you know the back story of your bed or maybe you found your bed on the side of the road and you're just like yolo

see who is picking up a bed a mattress in curbside pickup oh 800 dials that's one thing I'm steering clear of or you can text on 9696 this afternoon

to celebrate the $88,000 Gwyneth Paltrow bed. We want to know your bed's backstory. What's the history of your mattress? What are the demons that baby's got? What are the stains? What stories are the stains telling? Gwyneth Paltrow is selling a $88,000 bed on her website, Goop. I would love to just try it.

Yeah. To see what it's like. Yeah. An $88,000 bed. One night. Just give me one night. Just one night. One night.

I'd love to do that. Imagine how much you would devalue an $88,000 bed if you slept on it once. Because if you've got money to spend on a bed for $88,000, you're not having a second hand one. Are you a mattress protector man? 100%. Oh, you've got to have the mattress protector. If you're a sweaty sleeper, you've got to be a...

And you are a sweaty sleeper. We're revealing too many details about ourselves here. No, just you. Bree's a bed winner. No, I'm not. That was one time. We've got a fun question for you this afternoon. What's your bed's backstory?

Do you know the history of the bed that you're sleeping in? Are you not the only person who has slept in that bed? Or is every stain a mystery? Or does every stain tell a story? Hi, Ashley. Hi, Ash. Hi, guys. How old Ash. Hi, guys. How old's the beard, first of all?

Oh, 30-plus years. Crikey. You're joking. Okay, what's your beard's backstory? So it was my mum and dad's first beard they purchased together. You were conceived in the beard. Wait. This is the beard.

We were all conceived in that bed. Wait, so how many brothers and sisters do you have? I've got an older brother and a younger brother. And why were you the lucky one who got gifted the 30-year-old consummation bed? Well, I'm the most

clued on and head my house and stuff there. So you inherited that. Have you had kids yet, Ashley? Two. Yeah, maybe it's the lucky mattress. Oh, my God. Had more than just the dad's partner's body on it, too. Oh, wow.

I've had it for about 15 years. Ashley! Oh, right, so it's been visited by multiple gentlemen this bed. Can I ask, does the mattress have any form of shape left? It's surprisingly in pretty good nick still. I mean, I do replace the mattress protector. Yeah. Let's hope so.

I hope so. I hope so. A lot. I would love if we had the money to buy you a new bed. Oh, that would be good. Just so you could sleep on it for one night and just feel the difference. Because if you think that this 30-year-old bed

that you're in, I reckon there is, you've just become accustomed to it. That would like, oh, I wouldn't know who I was. And then, Ash, if you want to ever have more kids, you just whip out the mattress again. Yeah, just chuck it in the spare room. Good luck mattress. Your husband knows when that mattress comes out.

It's baby number three on the way. It's go time. Let's get Claudia on. Hi, Claudia. Hi, Claude. Hello. What's your bed's backstory? I bought my bed off Bowdoin Barrett. Get out of town. You've got Bowdoin Barrett's bed. The Bowdoin Barrett. Wait,

the single bed or like a double bed? It's a double bed. Not his race car bed from when he was a kid. Yeah. No, but that would be kind of cool. How did you end up buying Bowdoin Barrett's bed? So, you know how they moved from Wellington to Auckland for him to play for the Blues? Yes.

Around this time last year, his wife, Hannah, posted on her Instagram that she was selling some furniture. Oh, so this is recent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I had just signed my first flat at uni. Yeah. And I was on the lookout for some stuff. And I messaged her and I was like, oh, my gosh,

we'd be keen to see what you have. And she's like, we have our bed. And I was like, no, this is a no-brainer. Yeah, you know the mattress would no-brainer. Yeah, you know the mattress would be good quality too. Yeah, that's a great way to put it.

How much, Claudia, can we ask, did you pay for Bowdoin Barrett's bed? I think I paid about $400 for it. That's a good,

that's a great deal. Because Bowdoin Barrett wouldn't have a bad bed either. Yeah, no, he'd have a really good bed. Claudia, okay,

I've got one question for you. Tell me the truth. Have you smelt it? Who? Yeah, I've smelt it a really good bed. Claudia. Exactly. Okay, I've got one question for you. Tell me the truth. Have you smelt it? Who? Yeah, I've smelt it. Up around where his head is. You sniffed Bowdoin Barrett's beard? Well, as if you wouldn't.

I mean, I sleep in it. Yeah, well, this is true. So, yeah. Okay. As if. All right, all right, all right. I'm just keeping it real. As if you, if you bought Bowdoin Barrett's bed,

you wouldn't give it a whiff. Ah, true. Curiosity. Yeah, exactly. I'm only human.rett's bed, you wouldn't give it a whiff. True curiosity. Yeah, exactly. I'm only human. Hey, congratulations, Claudia. Claudia, that's amazing. It's a celebrity bed. Finally, Levi, what's your bed's backstory?

My bed's backstory, it's been through two generations. My grandma and granddad, my mum and dad, and now me. You're the third generation to sleep on the family bed. How old is it, Levi? It's about 20 years old. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah. Do you ever think, oh.

Have you done it in that bed, Levi? Yeah. You have? And I bet your parents did and your grandparents also. Does that ever cross your mind? I wouldn't blame them. Bed's that good, huh, Levi? It's got a few springs popping out here and there,

but I can't be asleep, so I can't complain. Oh, that it does. Bree and Clint. This is real concerning. We're just talking about your bed's backstory and what the history of your bed is. We've got some amazing stories. We've got someone who's got Bowden Barrett's old bed.

Can you imagine? Yeah, can you imagine? There's a couple of texts that we have to... I'd be like, do you want to sleep with Bowden Barrett's old bed? Mattress? Do you want to sleep with Bowden Barrett's scent? Yeah, come and have a whiff. I'd charge money.

Bring them through. A couple of texts that we have to read out. Some good ones. Actually, there's more than what you think. Someone said, I bought a bed off Facebook Marketplace for the spare room. Turns out it was one of my old teacher's parents' beds. So now I have a bed from my primary school teacher

where my primary school teacher would have been conceived. Deafs don't tell the guests. Deafs don't tell the guests. Someone else said, I picked up a curbside bed for my brother as he was 19 and too stingy to buy one. A couple of weeks later

he was covered in bites. Bed bugs. Oh no. That's why you don't pick a mattress up off the side of the road. If there's a bed on the side of the road. You don't pick it up. It's been put there for a reason. Yeah, it's not good.

People don't get rid of perfectly good beds. No, ever, ever. And this last text is quite dark, but someone texted her and they said, I know a girl who got given a bed her nan passed away in. She doesn't know that, though. Wouldn't you just buy a new one? Just buy a new mattress. How do you know that her nan passed away in the bed but she doesn't?

Yeah, weird. Maybe that person's a ghost that texted through. Can you imagine being the mum and going, we all miss her dearly, but some good must come of this. Emma, you take her bed. I'd be like, can I not? They didn't tell her. Can't I have her side table or something?

It's D-Day everybody Decision Day Doomsday Whatever you want to say It's election day in the States It's all going down now The votes are being calculated And in Washington DC right now

TVNZ's Jack Tame joins us Hi Jack G'day Jack Hey guys How you doing? Actually I'm going to correct you. Sorry. I'm going to be a sickly.

You know what Derno's like. I'm in Wilmington, Delaware. Oh, you're in Delaware? Yeah. Delaware. Sorry, we weren't aware. Delaware. This is...

Yeah, no, no. It's all gone. It's all gone, Delaware. Why are you in Delaware? Because Joe Biden is going to speak here anytime soon. Oh, right. Oh, that makes sense. There's a fairly good chance he could be the next president of the United States.

Yep. No, that makes a lot of sense now that you've said it, Jack. That's why you're over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the mood? What's going on? You're in the thick of it. We all think that whatever happens today, it is going to be civil war in America.

But what do you think as someone who's there right now? Oh, yeah, I'm hoping that it doesn't get to that. I've done the last two elections over here, and this one is definitely significantly more tense. There's no doubt about that. I've been in D.C. over the last few days. They've been boarding up all of the shops downtown in Washington, D.C. We've seen like Rodeo Drive being boarded up.

They've put an unscalable fence right around the perimeter of the White House. You don't usually see that in U.S. elections, right? That is really, really unusual. But I think it all depends on what happens tonight or in the next coming days. Because keep in mind, even though they're counting the votes at the moment, we might not have a definitive result tonight. We might not know who the president is going to be tonight. Right.

What do you, like, you've been there, Jack. You're in, obviously, the midst of everything. You're talking to people. Do you think Biden is going to come through and be the next president of the United States? I don't know. I honestly don't know. I think if you look at the polling data,

because it's like, America's so big, it's very hard just to trust a feeling or a vibe. But if you trust the polling data, then he has a really good chance of being the next president. You would say that he is likelier to

win than Donald Trump, but we also know that Trump's a voracious campaigner. We know that four years ago the polls were wrong with Trump and that he won. So even though on the polls, yes, Biden's the favourite, Trump could absolutely still hold on to the presidency. Yeah, yeah, right. What will you do tonight if things get crazy in the States?

Like, what's your safety plan? Or do you have to go out there in a bulletproof vest like Mike McRoberts and go on the flak and do a live cross? Well, it sort of depends on where it's happening and what's going down. I think you've got to

be a bit careful. I actually think tonight, look, there could be some unrest tonight. I think maybe the next few days could be interesting because regardless of the result, one side could well feel

like it's been stolen from them and that could be pretty significant. You know, that could be quite serious. Jack, I'm interested to know, because when I heard that you were over there and I saw you were doing the crosses and stuff, what's the vibe like in America, like re-COVID? What was that like coming into the States and obviously isolating?

It was hard. Was it crazy? No, no isolating, no isolating. Oh, you don't isolate? No, well, America has 100,000 cases a day. So there's nothing in New Zealand that we have that they don't have. So they're like, yo, how did mine? Come on in.

You entering the country actually helps our numbers. I mean, that makes total sense now that I think about it. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. But I mean, the thing is, it's really, it is crazy. Like a person is being diagnosed with COVID every second here. They're seeing 1,000 deaths a day.

230,000 people are dead. And still, depending on where you are, you walk around, you see people without masks. Yeah. Which is nuts. Like, you think, hey, guys, I think, you know, we know one way to, but it's, you know, for some Americans, they fear there's impinging on their freedom. Other Americans just don't think the virus is that serious. A lot of Americans have already had the virus.

So, yeah, it's not like, it's not like in New Zealand in lockdowns where everyone's like, you know, like telling on each other if they're not wearing their mask. Over here, it's like much more loose, depending on where you are. Yeah. It seems like watching the news coverage, it's like a portal into a parallel universe at the moment. It's like that episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes behind the bookcase

and then he comes out in a completely different reality. That's what it seems like to us. So thanks for bringing us the inside scoop. Stay safe. Yeah, please keep yourself safe. Well done. And good luck with everything. That's Jack Tame.

He's live in Delaware? Delaware. Delaware. Delaware. And he's gone. He's live in Delaware. Delaware. Delaware. Delaware. And he's gone. He's off to do some other crosses. Bree and Clint. Google down.

Google, are you down, down, down, down, down, down, down? What the hell? I think Google's actually right. The most competitive time on this show other than What's the Plot, Insta Fame Game and the One Second Song Challenge and Friday Okie, it's Google Down. We're not competitive. When we find out who is the fastest Googler not only in the studio

but out there in New Zealand. And Samantha, you're the one that's up for the job today. Hi, how's everyone going? Good, thank you. You good at the Google? Yes, I'm very bad at typing. I traditionally have lots of typos, so it'll be interesting to see what comes up.

Sometimes you've just got to go with the typos, I think. The guest decides the device. So what are we Googling on today, Samantha? Googling on an iPhone, just on classic Google Chrome. Perfect. So everyone phones out. I've never done this on my phone. I'll be using a Samsung, but that's okay.

Producer Ben, show me your phone. Yeah, I've got my phone here. Yeah, I'm just checking. I'm just keeping it, you know, all. I don't trust Producer Ben. Yeah, I don't trust him either. He's got his laptop right there. No one does, but he's got a contract, so we can't get rid of him.

I'm keeping them honest, okay? All right, Samantha, I'm backing you in for the win. This is how it works. It'll be first to three right. Anyone can buzz in with the answer. So don't buzz in with your name. Just yell out the answer as soon as you have it. Here we go.

Question number one in Google Down. And this week it's themed. Because obviously the presidential election is on this afternoon. What a great idea. All questions are related to America. Got it.

In the United States, what state is known as the Peach State? Alright, everyone's good. Georgia! Yeah, that's what my kid yells as fast as. You're not meant right. Everyone's good. Georgia. Yeah, that's what my kid yells as fast as. You're not meant to yell out your name, Clint. Are you on Wi-Fi or 4G? I don't know what's better. I'm on 3G at the moment.

Oh, Samantha. 3G, yeah, right. 3G's not going to be good. Yes, Georgia is correct, known as the Peach State. All right. Well done, Clint. All right. Question number two.

How old is former president Bill Clinton? 74. 74. Clinton, 74. He's got two. He needs one more to take home the win. Here comes question number three. What?

How many bathrooms does the White House have? Start Googling. Bathrooms. Bathrooms. 35. 135. 35. I got it.

I got to give it to Anastasia. She called out the right answer first and then Ben and then Anastasia again. So Anastasia got that point there. All right. Two to Clint. One to Anastasia. Come on, Samantha. You gotasia. Come on, Samantha. You got this.

Come on. Go me. Go Ben. Sorry, Ben. All right. Name one of Barack Obama's dogs. Pexy. Bo.

I said it first. I said it first. I'm going to say that was a complete tie, which that means Samantha gets the point. Samantha didn't say it either. No, she did. I believe I heard it. Samantha.

Yeah. You said it. Hey, Samantha. No one likes a sore nose. I'll be a good Samaritan and I'll learn up to this. Oh, yeah, she said it. Okay, Clint. One for Sam, one for Anastasia, two for Clint.

Here we go. Okay, all right. Question number something. How many presidents of the United States have there been? Start Googling. Okay. 44. 45.

45, including Trump. I just Googled six US presidents have the same first name. The answer is 44. Clint takes out Google Down this week. first name? The answer is 44. Clint takes out Google Down this week. Three to Clint. Well done, Clint. Well done, everybody. Nice work, everyone.

Except for Ben, who got nothing. Oh, was he playing? Yeah. I would say it's 45, by the way, but that's okay. No, I did look into it. I did look into it. It's 44. The answer to the question is the top Googled result. That is correct. It's not always right.

You shouldn't always trust Google. Yeah, man. Watch the social dilemma, okay? Don't believe everything you read on Google. Bree and Clint. I mean, it's a question that has been floating around for 23 years, Clint. About Ross and Rachel. Rachel and Ross.

Were they actually on a break? I can't believe this is still... Producer Ben told me that David Schwimmer was on what show was he on, Ben? What talk show? Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon, yeah. I didn't actually load that audio. Yeah, he was on Jimmy Fallon.

And apparently Jimmy Fallon asked him, were you guys actually on a break? And he answered it. Yeah. I'll get it to you by the end of this. Okay, cool. Would love to hear that. And that would answer the question.

Well, it would. Well, no, it wouldn't, because according to Ross, they were on a break. Well, true. There's only one side of the argument. What do you think? Were they on a break? Yeah, they were on a break. You know it says here. Yeah, they were on a break. If that's the question, Were they on a break? Yeah, they were on a break. You know it says here...

Yeah, they were on a break. If that's the question, were they on a break, they were on a break. Were they actually on a break? Do you want to listen to Rachel's exact wording? Again, I can't believe we're still going on about this. This is the exact wording. Oh, maybe we should just take a break.

Okay, okay, okay. Let's get some frozen yogurt or something. No. A break from us. They're on a break. So. In the words of Ross. We were on a break.

They're on a break. It's real interesting. I agree. They were on a break. Does it warrant Ross going and sleeping with another woman that night? No, it doesn't. That's the real question. No, it doesn't.

No, it's not a question. That's a big no-no. It does not. Anyway, it says here in this article that actually usually men say yes, they were on a break and females are on Rachel's side and they were like, no, they weren't on a break. Were they on a break that allowed him to go and do what he did? Define break.

Like what, do you have to define the rules when you go on a break? Well, you should. If friends have taught us anything after 23 years, if you don't want to still be having this conversation 23 years after, define the laws of a break. Have you ever went on a break with someone? Yeah, I had a relationship break. And did it work?

Obviously not because you married someone else So yeah, no In my opinion, breaks don't work Well, I think it's Sorry, sorry, sorry In my experience, breaks don't work Yeah, see, I don't know I feel like they can work

Did it work for Ross and Rachel? Yes, it did Because they ended up together in the last it did, because they ended up together in the last season. Yeah, because they accidentally got pregnant to each other. No. They loved each other

the whole time. Have you been on a break? Um, I don't know. I don't know. If you don't know. Not per se. I don't think it's like,

okay, let's take a break. Have you broken up with someone and then got back together with them? Yeah, but that's different. That is different, yeah. That's different. The problem with a break is it's open-ended. You don't know.

It's really no man's land. After a break, you still have to break up. That's why they're so... Messy. Yeah. Yeah, but sometimes it works out or does it. Right. I want to get to the bottom of this.

Ben's got the Jimmy Fallon audio. Yeah, let's listen to this. We're Ross and Rachel actually on a break. This is David Schw to the bottom of this. Ben's got the Jimmy Fallon audio. Yeah, let's listen to this. Were Ross and Rachel actually on a break? This is David Schwimmer, Ross's character, actually answering it. David Schwimmer, where do you rely? Were they on a break or were they not on a break? Yeah, it's not even a question. They were on a break.

That's not a question. Of course. They were on a break. Of course he would answer that. We want to ask you guys, have you done this? Have you went on a break with a partner and how did it end up? Did it end up in a disaster or did it actually work and did you get back together and then stayed together

for the rest of your life? Are there break success stories out there? Yeah. Or are there disaster stories? And did you sleep with someone else on your break? Yeah. Who did you sleep with? Yeah. your break? Yeah, who'd you sleep with? Yeah, and what's their name and where do they live? And did your partner find out about it?

Yeah, oh. Yeah, because do you tell them or do you just go, what happens on a break stays on a break? Depends on the rules. 0800 DIAL ZM. Call us now or you can text us on 9696. Did you and your partner go on a break? Bree and Clint.

Calling people. You have some calls. I don't even know how that happened. I don't know how that happened either. We're talking about going on a break. Have you done it in your relationship? Are you about to do it maybe? And this might be an insight into other people's

experiences about having a break in a relationship. We were on a break! You know breaks. You know breaks. You know breaks. Depends. A lot of different reasons, I think, for a break in a relationship.

Yeah. Probably one main one. You want to hook up with other people. Or no, maybe you're just fighting all the time but you're not ready to accept the fact that your relationship is actually over. Yeah, or that. So you want to prolong the inevitable. There's one. That's a cynical way of looking at them. Someone said on the text

machine that they went on a break. It says here, I went on a break with my boyfriend. He had already Oh no, that's not the one. That's the one where the boyfriend, I think we've got them on the phone actually. Do we? Yeah, let's talk to them actually. Sarah.

Hi. Hi Sarah. Hi. Did this happen in a relationship you had? Yeah, so I met my ex-boyfriend and we decided we'd go on a break. Okay. And I, because he had che cheated on me nine times before that.

Whoa! Why did you stay with him? Yeah, I don't know. It was pretty stupid. Yeah, it's hindsight, right, Sarah? Okay, you've cheated on me nine times. Before you cheat on me for a nice round 10. I'm going to put you on a break, so then.

Yeah, I'm going to put you in the sin bin for a bit. How did that go? Yeah, we, like, agreed on it together. We're like, okay, let put you on a break so then Yeah I'm going to put you in the sin bin for a bit How did that go? Yeah we like agreed on it together We were like okay let's just have a break And we'll talk about it on the weekend This was on a Thursday night And then I said

Let's just not talk to anyone else Let's just wait until we sort out our own relationship And within two minutes He had messaged this other girl on Instagram not realising that I was logged into his account. Two minutes it took him, Sarah? Two minutes? Yeah.

Please tell me he's not like on his like 18th life with you or something. No, I don't know. It was pretty crazy but yeah. No, tell her. Okay, cool. You ended it. Yeah, good.

Okay, cool. She deserves better. She deserves way better than that. Let's talk to, oh, this person wants to stay anonymous. Hello, anonymous. Hi. Have you been in this situation, anonymous? I have.

So we had been together for about four years, and then we went on a break for roughly two months. I did sleep with someone during that time. I told him about it. It was all good. But in the end, I actually found out that even before we went on a break, he'd been screwing other girls, like couples of 40 chicks. 40?

Or zero. 40? How did he have the time? Well, you see, we didn't actually live together yet He lived about half an hour away Half an hour? Yeah, he lived about half an hour away from me And I think he was just using the fact that I was nowhere nearby

My house is half an hour away from work And I wouldn't be able to live that kind of double life Oh, that's so dodgy anonymous. Right, okay. So you probably felt bad for sleeping with one person when you're on a break and then he's like, it's all right. Yeah, I definitely went and got checked real fast. Yeah, yeah, so you should.

How did you find out? So we were at his friend's house At one point And I needed to charge my phone So I was sitting in the car And I was like You know what Something doesn't feel right And I actually checked his phone

Right And he was Hardly trusting And I had It was like I stopped counting At 40 different chicks That I had no idea

Who they were Wow So there was probably More than that But I was like I'm just I'm not gonna God

So break the break didn't work. He's a walking staph infection, that guy, isn't he? We are getting a real skewed view of breaks here because these are just people. Yeah, well, this one didn't work. These are all cheating-based breaks, and I don't imagine that breaks help solve that out. There's a few good ones on the text machine, to be honest. There's one that says,

my partner and I went on a break because he was too worried about pleasing his family and his family didn't like me. We ended up getting back together later down the line and we moved away from his family. We've been together over three years now and it took three years to finally admit that they were in the wrong and apologise. And you know what?

A break sounds like what you guys needed. Exactly. Because you had to give... Yeah, he had to figure out what he actually wanted. So yeah, those would work. This person wants to remain anonymous as well. Hi, Anonymous. Hello. Do you have a positive outlook on taking a break

in a relationship? I do. Go on. Me and my partner, we were together for about a year and a half. And we decided to take about a two month break just because things weren't right. We just needed to get a bit of a break and a half. Okay. And we decided to take about a two-month break just because things weren't right. We just needed to get a bit of a break from each other.

And then we decided after two months to get back together and we've been the happiest ever since. See, they can work. How long? How long has it been since you got back together? So we had a break. Two days. We came out of lockdown

And then we've been together ever since that So a couple of months Yeah Hey, that's still a good start But it feels good now Yeah, right, okay And does it feel better, anonymous? Does it feel like fresh?

It does Because I think the issue was We were definitely saying far too much to each other because we didn't look together. You should have taken a break for lockdown, because then you would know that he was at his house and he couldn't go out. He legally couldn't see anybody else. And if he did, the police were going to get him anonymous.

Well, there you go. There's both sides of the equation. Interesting. Does this mean that Ross was in the right? We were on the brink! Jill shouldn't have slept with that other woman. Yeah. But they ended up together, so it worked for them.

Brie and Clint. If you listened to the Brie and Clint show for our political commentary... Let's hope not. What's wrong with you? Yeah. I can tell you I've just been out and watched a little bit of CNN. Presidential race still too close

to call. Right. There's no clear winner. At the moment it still could be either of them. That doesn't make me feel comfortable after last time. Last time? Okay, this will make you feel a little bit more comfortable. Last time it was pretty obvious that Trump was going to win quite early. You were like, well, it was obvious that he was in the race and you're

like, oh, Hillary was meant to win. Because I remember thinking, oh, Hillary's got it. She's got it. She's got it. She's got it. And the next minute I turned it on like hours later and I was like, she don't got it. Yeah, right. I remember listening to John Campbell this time last time and he was like, shit, I got it. Yeah, right. I remember listening to John Campbell at this time last time and he was like, um, uh, it's um, this is quite strange. No one was predicting this.

This is my best John Campbell. No one was predicting this, but something absolutely incredible is happening and it looks like, and stop me here if you know this already, it looks like Trump is going to do it. Why does every impression you do sound like Kermit the Frog? That sounded a lot like John Campbell.

It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and clean. Birthday banger. Let's do a birthday banger. I thought that was quite good. Three people's birthdays. What was number one on their 16th?

I mean, if that hasn't enticed the audience in. Those words have never been uttered on this show. They've never been uttered on this. Oh, you missed it. You missed the opportunity. Well, it's actually technically not cows, but it's what comes from cows, milk. Cow urine.

Oh, milk, sorry. Milk stats. There's an official survey, which these numbers are quite disturbing, so just brace yourself. It's a survey that's done on Americans and pretty much a massive percentage of Americans don't know where chocolate milk comes from. Excuse me?

Yeah. They don't know where chocolate milk came from. Americans aren't quite sure where chocolate milk actually comes from. Turns out 48% of this whole survey group admitted to not knowing. What do you mean they don't know where chocolate milk came from? So wait, get this. These are real stats. Even more worryingly, 7% of the people said they thought

chocolate milk came from brown cows. Are you shitting me? These are the people. So wait, so wait, wait, wait. These are the people who are in charge of picking the president today. I've done a bit of research to crunch the numbers. So 7% give or take of the American population. That's about 16.4 million people.

This story is about the German national airline that I can't pronounce the name of. Anastasia is European by descent. She's Dutch. How do you say it? Lufthansa. Lufthansa. Yeah.

That's the national... It's a really good airline. National airline of Germany. It's a very bougie airline. It's the name How do you say it? Lufthansa. Lufthansa. That's the national airline of Germany. It's a very bougie airline. It's the name of my antihistamine. Is it? Yeah. It's part of the Star Alliance, so you can use your Kuru Club membership when you fly on these guys.

They've landed six planes at a Dutch airport. Six 747s at a Dutch airport. And that's where those planes will spend the rest of their life because the runway that they landed on is too short

for the planes to take off. Oh. What, so they actually can't get them up? They can't get them up. They can't get it up? They can't, yeah. Luft, how do you say it,

Anastasia? Lufthansa. Lufthansa can't get it up. They can't get six of their planes up. The original plan was that these planes would land there. Why did they build it longer?

Because it costs millions of dollars to build the runway longer. How much do the planes cost? Well, that's a good question. The plan was land the planes at the airport because the runway is legally long enough for them to land but not take off. Land them there. Because all the 747s around the world are getting retired, they're going to stop using them.

Land them there and then they're going to dismantle them and scrap them at that airport there. Right. So they were going to do that. Yeah. But then Luftwanzer decided, actually, nah, just kidding. We still want those planes. Well, too late now. But they'd already landed.

And so now the planes are stuck there. They can't take off. So they've just had to park them at the end of the runway. And they're just sitting there. And they don't know what to do with them. They should auction them off. But they want them back. The airline wants them back.

Well, you should have thought about that before you landed them. You know what this is? This is the airplane version of when there's a car park space that looks good and you're like yeah i want that car park space and you do some weird maneuvering to get your car in there and you just get it in but then when it comes time to get out of that car park space that you can't do it you can't figure out how you got in there you can't do what you did to get into the car park space you can't do it in reverse what car parks are you parking in you know like if you do a real tight parallel tight areas you know oh yeah right and you do like a 19 point turn but then there's just no way that you're getting out there okay no okay you know what it's actually

the airplane version of what if you've got some real tight jeans and this was me in the 2000s when emo jeans were cool and you just get in and a lot of the time it's the ankle that's the issue and you manage to get it was a tough one yeah i've cut myself out of a pair of cool and you just get in and a lot of the time it's the ankle that's the issue and you manage to get it was a tough one yeah i've cut myself out of a pair of jeans and you wear the skinny jeans and then when it's time to get them off you have no idea how you got in there you swear to god your body has changed shape since you put those jeans on $300 pair assassin by jeans and i legit cut them off me it was ridiculous well. Well, yeah, there you go. This is the airplane version of that.
