I got heavily influenced last night, is what I'd like to kick the podcast chat off with. It was for outdoor furniture. So after the show tonight I'm going to try and find

this specific set of outdoor furniture that I saw. What's so great about it? It just looks good and it's from Bunnings so it doesn't cost too much money. You know that you have to sit on something before you buy it. Totally. Yeah. Totally. Because or else. I'm buying with, don't worry, I buy with my butt.

I always buy stuff with my butt. Bed, what do you buy with your butt? Beds? Yep. Chairs? Chairs. Jeans? Cushion? Yep. You can't buy undies with your butt You can buy a follow up pair Of a new pair You can buy the second pair with your butt

What else do you buy with your butt? Toilet paper Yes Toilet seats Toilet seats Your butthole buys toilet paper Yeah Well your butt

Your butt is so influential In your day to day It is Isn't it? It revolves Your whole life revolves around your butt Yeah Yeah The centre of your universe How many ply What do you think is the best? in your day to day it is it revolves your whole life revolves around your butt yeah the centre of your universe

how many ply what do you think is the best I'm fine with two yeah two's good three's even better I do love a three ply yeah but over the top though

yeah I can't afford that oh not for me I think I need it sometimes wherever you are listen to this you are better than one are you a three

you are better than one yeah I don't know you I don't know if you're good enough to deserve three ply but I know even without meeting you you're better than one. Are you a three? Do you think you are better than one? Yeah, I don't know you. I don't know if you're good enough to deserve three ply, but I know even without meeting you, you're better than one. With one, you end up using just as much,

like more toilet paper. Yeah, because you've got to double it up. Yeah, so you just, you should fork out and buy the more expensive one. Scrunchers or folders on this show?

Scruncher. Scruncher. I'm a folder. Two folders, two scrunchers. Oh, there you go. By folder, you mean like, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's not enough coverage. Wait, you scrunch? What do you mean? Into a folder. Two folders, two scrunchers. Oh, there you go. By folder you mean like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's not enough coverage.

Wait, you scrunch? What do you mean? Into a ball. Into like a little nest. Yeah. Yeah. Looks like a shower loofah. Yeah, that's exactly what it looks like.

No, that would block the toilet. No, it wouldn't. No, it wouldn't. It actually would go down better. Yeah. Because the water's able to get in and out. People flush tampons. I've always wondered that. No, you don't mean to.

You shouldn't. You're a bad person if you do. Some tampons you're able to flush because they're biodegradable. What do you guys do with them? There's a sanitary. In our toilets, in girls' toilets. No, no, no, when you're at home. I know what you do at work. What do you do at home? Oh, you have a bin. There's a bin. Is there? And you usually wrap. Yeah, do you unless you

not have a bin? Yeah, we've got a a bin But I don't know what goes in there Yeah well now you know Buzzy I never knew That's why there's a bin Like next to the toilet Where do you think it went? You should see in our girls toilet

Down the toilet I thought it went down the toilet They have mechanic ones at work They're pretty bougie Sometimes I flush them Bray I mean Sometimes there's no bin

In public toilets What do you want me to do? Think about the poor person Who's having to clean up your mess. Do you want me to put it in my pocket? It's not a good idea. It's a later. I had to do that one time.

No, well, I was at my partner's batch in Mahe. We've had a couple grim podcast intros this week. And they have a very... Do you want to tell the story? Yeah, it's not that bad. They have a very delicate sewage system. Yeah, they'll have a sept. They have a very delicate sewage system. Yeah, they'll have a septic tank. Common for batches.

And the first thing that she said was like, don't flush anything down the toilet like that. And I was like, okay. Anyway. Oh, she's popping my pocket. So I had to wrap it, obviously, in heaps of toilet paper. I've got a bucket full of pocket. Which is not a big deal.

You wrap it and then I had to put it in my pocket. And then I walked straight out to the garbage and put it in the garbage. Yeah, right, right. You didn't carry it around for a couple of days. No! When you forget about something in your pocket. Oh, that's where it is. Of course not.

It's like the disgusting version of finding 20 bucks in your pants. Yeah, not a good surprise. My worst non-flushable experience was in Peru at Machu Picchu. There's toilets up there. Machu, shit yourself. Yeah, right? Because I had food poisoning. Yeah, not good.

And there's toilets up there, but obviously it's an ancient ruin and there's not plumbing up there. So you're not allowed to flush anything including the toilet paper. So what do you do? Put it in a basket next to the toilet. Oh, that's what they do.

That's what they did on Tongaroa Crossing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's disgusting. In India, they just have a hose. to the toilet. Oh, that's what they do. That's what they did on Tongariro Crossing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's disgusting. In India, they just have a hose. That's better. A hose is better. But then you've got a wet bum. No.

No, you wipe. Well, then you can dry it off. You pull your cheeks apart and you dry it. All right, all right, all right, all right. It takes a while, though. I'd much rather the hose, unless people have touched the butt hole. The hose is actually better for the environment It is

But hose You're on the perfect temp though They have them in hotels even But hose Well that's a boday right? No Is it a boday? Sorry

A boday A boday? That's bodacious I'm sorry I'm not fancy. Actually, Ben, can you put a disclaimer on the front of this podcast? Hey, guys, the majority of this intro is about buttholes. Yeah, I'll put that in the front.

Surprise, surprise. It's my favorite topic. Yeah, right. Anything else? Anybody needs to cover off before we rip into this? Anybody got anything exciting going on in their life? Anybody need to cover off before we Revert to this? Anybody got anything exciting going on In their life? Anybody need any advice on anything? Should I share my hack

What I did to my dog this morning? Oh yeah we didn't talk about it on the show so go on My dog's been attacking like Everything she just chews everything Like crazy and I read Somewhere online that if you put wasabi On things If they go to bite Something and there's wasabi on things and they if they like have a bite if they go to

bite something there's wasabi it like makes them not want to bite it anymore what if it's a japanese dog that's difficult um but anyway so she's been biting this really nice plant that we've got in the living room and it's like a like alive so she's been pulling the leaves off and my partner's been getting really annoyed so i was like i know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna get some hot sauce i'm just gonna rub it around the edge of all the leaves like the lower leaves that she's like biting on yeah anyway so i did that and she hated it and stopped biting it i'm concerned that's great i'm glad you finally got a victory over that evil dog um oh she's not evil i'm concerned as a as a botanist myself, a plant enthusiast, the impact of hot sauce on a plant.

I don't think it'll do anything. You sure? Let's Google it. Should I burn the plant? Hold on, let me Google it. And where did you get... Will? Yeah, right.

Where did I get what? The hack from. Oh, I read dog stuff online all the time now. How do I get a dog to stop biting me? How do I get a dog to stop biting me? How do I get a dog to stop biting the plant? How do I... Are grapes okay to give to dogs? Turns out, no.

How do I stop my dog humping the Ethernet router? Did you say you put wasabi on it? No, I put hot sauce. Oh, okay. Why? I just Googled about the wasabi and it just said the leaves of the wasabi plant are actually also eatable. I didn't even know they had a wasabi plant.

No, neither. Where do you think wasabi came from? I don't know. Here you go. Here you go. So I've just Googled, will hot sauce hurt a plant? And it says, the combination of hot sauce and other safe ingredients, including mild dish soap is capable of warding off several insects including garden mites worms and caterpillars without harming

the plant or the human gardener there you go boom we found the perfect thing I've got a white fly infestation on my citrus trees I'm going to go and sriracha that bitch tonight yeah right okay well there you go there's some good advice who keeps yawning

it's friggin Anastasia. I don't have any time for garden chat. Bloody Jim, bloody Zed, you tired little bitch. I'm really sorry. Gardening chat. Is it past your bedtime? She's been up all night watching TikTok. I actually was.

Have a great podcast, everybody. I actually was. See you soon. Hey, Google. what's the time? It's 3pm, give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey, Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?

Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Good afternoon, New Zealand. Welcome to the Brianne Clint Show on day two of the US election. Still bloody going. God. Do people in New Zealand care that much? I think we just want to know. I don't think so.

I don't think so either. I don't think they care about the intricate details of it, but they definitely want to know who the president is going to be. Right. It looks like it's going to be Biden. I'd say it's going to be him, yeah. But again, you just never know. Trump's going bonkers. His Twitter feed, Twitter are flagging all of his tweets and going this is fake, this is fake, this is fake. Is that a live map, Ben? Is that live? That's the actual, oh yeah, Biden's six points off the 270 electoral votes that he needs to get it.

He's at 264, Trump's at 214, and you need 270 to win. He'll get there. He'll get there. So there you go. There's some good news for you. Today on the show, we've got a $200 Uber Eats voucher to give away before four o'clock. There's something you do care about. Now, that is probably one of my favorite prizes we're giving away on the show.

Totally. Oh, epic. Imagine having $200 on your Uber Eats account and whenever you felt hungry, you knew you could just get whatever you wanted delivered to your house. Can you put credit on your Uber Eats account? Must be able to because that's what we're giving away. Yeah. You must be.

What a great gift for someone. That's what I'm thinking for like Christmas. Load credit on their account. My mum keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. Uber Eats credit. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, that is a great idea. We'll give that away at 10 to 4 this afternoon with our Cookie Time game.

That's the way the Cookie Time Christmas cookie crumbles. I'm telling you, I've eaten so many of those cookies. There's a clue for you, because the question today will be how many cookies are in the bucket. They're so delicious. Ten to four, that happens. The second to last COVID rain check of ours at five o'clock.

If you've registered for it at ZM Online, still time to go and do that. Plus it's $500 up for grabs from Wendy's at 5.30 if you want to burn us this afternoon. That's correct. Next though, how's this for a clickbait headline? What is the sleeping position that is most likely

to result in divorce or any kind of relationship breakup? The position that you and your partner sleep in, which one has proven to be the most detrimental to relationships? Separate beds?

It's not separate beds, no. Backs to each other. That's my guess. I'll give you the actual results. After Dua Lipa, this is Break My Heart. Brie and Clint, ZM. Brie, how's your relationship going at the moment? Yeah, pretty good.

Pretty good? Why, you ask? What position do you guys... Excuse you. Pardon you. What sleep... I should leave it with the sleeping word. What sleeping position do you guys prefer? Usually the spooning.

The spooning. Yeah, whether it be big spoon, little spoon, swap, roll, swap and roll. The reason I ask is sleep experts in the UK have surveyed 5,000 divorced women and 4,800 divorced men. Couldn't they find another 200? Yeah. About what their preferred sleeping position was with their partner just before they broke up. Gotcha.

Okay. What's yours? The idea is... I think I know. You guys just do your own thing now. Yeah, we do our own thing. Yeah. Back to back.

Like if you want to... Yeah, but if you want to lay on your stomach or the side, you guys just do that. No, I'm not allowed on my back. Why? Oh, because you snore. Yeah. I must face away from my wife. You're in a prison. No, I'm not allowed on my back. Why? Oh, because you snore. Yeah. I must face away from my wife.

You're in a prison. No, I'm not in a prison. It's just certain things that need to happen to make our dynamic work. And I know what mine is. That's a lovely way of saying it. It's face the wall and don't snore. Okay, that's it. So this study has attempted to pinpoint what the sleeping position is

that's most likely to cause divorce. Interesting. I'm keen to hear it. So take it with a pinch of salt, but I mean, the numbers don't lie. This is either going to make or break. It's fairly definitive. However, it's surveyed divorced women who divorced men and divorced men who divorced women.

So it's heterosexual relationships that this is referring to. So just keep that in mind. But yes, it's fairly definitive. 86% of respondents had the same answer in the position that they were sleeping in with their partner just before they broke up. The female spoon. What's that mean?

Where the man is the little spoon and the woman is the big spoon. That's such BS. Sometimes men like to be held. Oh, I love to be the little spoon. That's such BS. Sometimes men like to be held. Oh, I love to be the little spoon. Yeah, it's real nice. Like you guys miss out too much. Yeah, I love to be the little spoon. You miss out.

It doesn't really happen that often. I don't agree with it. I don't agree with that females should most of the time be the little spoon because you guys miss out on the best part. The being spooned part. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you want to be the food on the spoon.

Exactly. You don't want to do all the work all the time. Anyway, they haven't delved into the reasons why, but 86% of those couples, about 10,000 couples surveyed, female spoon was the last position that they were in before they broke up. Let's flip it, though, and let's look at the least divorceable sleeping positions. Interesting. Let's flip it though and let's look at the least divorceable sleeping positions. Oh, interesting.

So that was 86% divorce rate. Okay. 38% divorce rate, so much lower down on the scale. Face-to-face, not touching. Right. Oh, see, that's a weird one. Yeah. Because usually I'd have a pillow.

And you have to both like sleeping on opposite sides because you know how you like to sleep on a certain side? Face to face, not touching. Then even better, 26% divorce rates or even less. Like being divorced? Back to back, touching. Right. I do like the back to back touching. Yeah.

I'm someone that even if no matter what, I'll always have like my hand. Yes. Like so it's like some I floated this one to my wife this morning I said good results for back to back touching we're pretty much there we're just back to back no touching we just need to touch

she goes I enjoy the pillow wall and the least divorceable position with only 19% divorce rate face to face cuddling. What kind of psychopath is able to sleep face-to-face cuddling? Because then you're breathing in each other's air all the time. Yeah.

What about when it's hot? I hate when I'm getting recycled air. I'm like, you take that air over there, I'll take my air over here. Yeah, exactly right. I don't understand. I reckon that's grounds for divorce face-to-face cuddling. Anyway. Yeah, nah, not for me.

Maybe change it up. Try something new in the bedroom tonight. Yeah. When you're sleeping is what I mean. Even before. Or after. Let's not get too carried away. Okay. Clint, I've got some signature maritime news.

Oh, a double horn. That was nice. That was a massive horn. Yeah. Have you ever thought about how much it would cost for a tour of the Titanic? By submarine? Obviously. Yeah.

That's a dumb question. How else would you get down there? Oh, I was like, replica submarine? No, replica Titanic? But no, you mean real Titanic. That's a dumb question. How else would you get down there? I was like replica submarine. No, replica Titanic. But no, you mean real Titanic. I mean the real Titanic. Right. Much like the submarine, I've gone too deep.

No, I've never thought about that. But I mean, what a crazy experience, which I'm sure a lot of people would love to do. I don't know if many people are equipped to go that deep. Isn't it bad for you? Like, it's so pressurised down there? I think it depends on the vessel. Right.

Yeah. But anyway, a company, a tour company called Ocean Gate Expeditions has an experience which you can be a part of. It's an eight-day trip from Canada where they're going to take nine people at a time. The trip will include travelling to the underwater shipwreck of the Titanic and also as well as six to eight-hour submarine tour of it. Why are people still signing up for trips on the same journey

that the Titanic went on, you know? There's not many bad omens worse than that. I just think people are fascinated by it. You know? There's not many bad omens worse than that. I just think people are fascinated by it. Yeah. You know? Like it's something, and it's interesting because people are always like, you know, what's still down there?

What can you actually see once you get down there? Apparently, there is actually no human bones left. Like you can't see any of that. They haven't found any. They haven't found any. No. You can see stuff like shoes and clothing and other bits and pieces like that. That would be spooky.

Which would be very spooky. And you can get this tour if you want to be a part of it. I don't know how many spots there are though, but it will cost you around $200,000. Oh, far out. $200,000? Yep. How much can we go $200,000? Yep. I'll probably go to space for that.

Well, actually, I've got the details on that as well because... But you're like a travel agent now. Yeah, pretty much. You could also sign up for the Virgin Galactica space launch for $350,000. Yeah, I'll go to space, thanks. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a little bit more. I've seen enough movies to know that submarines are not safe. I don't know if I'm a fan of the submarine.

Hell no. I mean, I don't imagine going to space is that safe either, but I just hate the idea of being in a submarine. Yeah, me too. And something going wrong. Because, no, thank you. Not fun. If you don't have $200,000 or $350,000,

you can go to a Titanic-themed Airbnb in Northern Ireland and that'll cost you $58 a night. Right. How much do you just watch Titanic? Depends where you watch it on, but that could be free. Yeah, right. Yeah. Wonderful.

Well, good to know we've got options, right? Hey, options is what it's all about. No one's going to Dream World this year, so maybe you save your money and you too can go down and visit the Titanic. You never know. Don't know how much you were planning to spend on that combo deal, you know? Wet and wild movie world and Dream

World. It's a great deal. It's a great deal. It's a triple pass. It's a Kiwi right of passage. Bree and Clint from iHeart Radio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. This time yesterday we were talking to Dean, fearing the end of the world would arrive in America by now. I don't think it has.

Has it, Dean? Things are still kind of under control? It's still kind of under control. It's actually kind of a good day here in America today, but there is some sad, sad news. Kanye West has conceded defeat. Oh, no. I know. I didn't see it coming either. But, you know, I mean, look, Trump's had 65 million. Biden's had 67 million. Kanye had 60,000. I still think that's a pretty good effort.

60,000 people wasted their vote on Kanye West. Anyway, he's conceded defeat. It was a ridiculous run, but he was very serious about it. The best is this. I want you to go to his Twitter and Instagram and everything and look at where he's written his own name on one of the ballots. He wrote, like, you know how there's, like, a list of names? He put a little extra box at the bottom and then wrote Kanye West.

It's so priceless and brilliant. He has said Kanye 2024. No! No! Cancel it. Give up. I'm not one for telling people not to chase their dreams, but give up on this dream, Kanye. Speaking of Kanye

voting for himself, does that mean like Joe Biden and Donald Trump would have voted for themselves? They would have went for themselves? Yeah. They would have went in and voted. There's an amazing picture from yesterday, Donald Trump voting on the day. Yeah.

Him and Melania go in at the same time and they're in separate voting booths and you can see him. Melania's like, don't look at mine. You can see Donald looking at hers. He's looking over the thing to check that she is voting for him. Yeah, she was probably like, Biden, Biden, Biden, Biden. Nah, she's probably like, Kanye. Yeah, probably. Does that mean like Jacinda Ardern would have went in and voted for herself?

Yeah, yeah. And Judith Collins. Yeah, it's so interesting. Yeah. Remember we saw Judith. She did some praying before. That's right. She did.

She stopped off at the church to do her voting and she went in and had a... Well, I mean, her vote was a sure thing. A prayer session first. You know? Yeah, right. Bizarre. We're still waiting on a result. Everyone's still waiting on a result, but that is the latest live out of Los Angeles

with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Thanks to Whitecliffe College, you can study art, design, fashion and technology with Whitecliffe. We're about to ask you the question, what was in you? What was stuck in you? Either? Either or. We'll take either or. Because there's a story out of Tampa, Florida,

about a 45-year-old man named Alex who he'd been having some pain in his forearm, just, you know, kind of in the middle, like just below his wrist. And he'd been having pain for a couple of years. Anyway, he actually thought that he'd like torn a tendon, damaged a tendon. Sounds like RSI to me. Yeah, he thought, yeah, he goes, oh, I've actually damaged a tendon or something. The lamest of all injuries you can get as an office worker from using your mouth too much.

I mean, pretty hardcore. And he avoided going to the doctor or getting surgery because he didn't have the money to pay for it. Yeah. So he was like, oh, I think it's a broken tendon. I'm just going to avoid it and try and deal with the pain as much as I can. Yeah. Anyway, after a while, this was probably, you know, after years of suffering with this

pain in his arm, he noticed a small puncture wound in his arm and he was like, that's weird, and it became a bit infected. And he was like, oh, I need to go see the doctor. So he went to the doctor and they took a few x-rays and a few scans and stuff and they were like, you actually have a massive thorn inside your arm. Oh, gross. Like a giant thorn.

Yeah. Like I'm pretty sure it was like nearly over 10 centimetres long. Right. Pretty big. Yeah. And they were like, it's actually very close to one of your main arteries. Jeez.

And it's inching like further and further forward, millimetres away from this major artery. Anyway, he needed to have surgery to take it out and they took it out and he was like, he instantly saw this thorn and he knew where he'd gotten it from. A rose bush? Well, he said about four years ago his ex-wife, who was his wife at the time,

used to get him to trim these bushes outside their house. They had these giant black thorns on it. Anyway, he was like, that is a thorn from that bush. He goes, and the last time I trimmed that bush was four years ago. So his ex-wife literally was a thorn in his side. Literally. And had been in there, so he knew. He was like, I've had this in my arm for four years.

I always think this about this when you hear stories about people who have something that's been in them for ages and they get it removed. You hear those stories about kids who have had a piece of Lego up their nose for three years. Or a bead. I always think about how good it would feel to take it out. How relieving must it be when that thing's not in there anymore? You know what's a really small scale of that that we could all appreciate?

You know when you have something stuck in your teeth and you work on it for hours. Oh, and you get it. And you work on it and you work on it. Piece of popcorn. And you finally get it. You finally get it, yeah. Without the help of dental floss.

And you're like, success. And then you eat it. Yeah. And you're like. I know I'm playing with fire here, but I'm going to chew this again. That was a really good three hours well spent have you had anything

oh god this wording is have you had anything stuck in you have you had anything stuck in you have you had anything in you

right there's the right yeah actually take the stuck bit out yeah no what did you have in you well that's still a rough question you understand the context

though don't you yeah we're talking about a guy who randomly had a thorn stuck in him let's see if there's any text messages. A kid with Lego. Oh, someone goes,

I had a stone in my arm for eight years after being dragged behind a car. Well, that's a... Whoa. There's other questions I'd like to ask that person. Whoa, yeah. About that. But that's in the mode of what we're looking for. Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, okay. Our question, our very innocent question. Nothing untoward. Yeah, what did you have in you? What was in you? 0800 DIAL ZM or you can text us on 9696. We've asked you this afternoon, what did you have in you? Yeah, what was in you?

After a guy from Florida had a massive thorn stuck in his forearm for four years, didn't even realise it, he thought he'd had something wrong with his tendon. Yeah. Turns out it was a something wrong with his tendon. Yeah. Turns out it was a giant thorn from trimming the bushes. I don't understand how that can penetrate you. Oh, wrong word. I don't understand how that can go into you. It's not much better.

I don't understand how that can happen and you don't realise at the time. Yeah, maybe it looked like a scratch or something. It's giant. Yeah. So we're asking you this afternoon, what did you get stuck in you? Hi, Justine. Hi, Justine.

Hi, Justine. Hi there. What was it? Yeah, when I was six months pregnant, I had really bad tummy pain, so they operated on me and they found a green swab from surgery when I was 17.

Shut the front door. Oh my God, I've heard about this. This is horrific. Someone on the text machine, Justine, It's so dangerous. said that they had gauze left in them. Yeah. From a surgical gauze.

Same sort of thing. Yeah. Oh, God. You're lucky that it didn't have any further implications. An infection or something. Yeah. Well, it was only because my daughter was growing and was pushing on it that caused the pain. Oh, that's weird.

I wonder what I've got in me. What have they left in me? Get pregnant and find out. Yeah, why not? Wouldn't it be handy if the baby could just grab it on the way down? Yeah, just bring it out on the way out. Just take it out with her. Yeah.

All right. Thanks, Justine. Glad you got that sorted. Sean's here. G'day, Sean. Hi, Sean. G'day. What did you get stuck in you, Sean?

So I was being silly buggers and we're playing with nail gun charges that put nail guns into concrete. Yeah. I had one explode in my hand. And then about two months, three months later, I had something shiny starting to stick out of my chin and I was like,

what is that? And it ended up being shrapnel that penetrated my chin. How long? A bit of nail gun shrapnel went into your chin and it stayed there for a few months. Yeah, yep, yep.

And I got a bit of laughing gas to get it out and that was a bit funny. Are you a builder? No. No, he just likes to play with nail guns. You were throwing

nail gun charges into a fire. Yeah, and then I thought I was picking up one that I missed the fire but unfortunately it wasn't and it exploded in my hand so I'm very lucky.

Sean, ZM and the Brain Clench show do not condone any of the behaviour you were discussing. No, neither do I. Yeah, you do. Sean, you know this is, you're a living example of why women live

longer than men, eh? Oh, totally. He's still here though. Thanks for the call, man. We appreciate it. There's so many good texts on this. I wish I could read them all out. Someone said, I had a hedgehog spike stuck in me for five years. Whoa. Did you stand on the hedgehog? stuck in me for five years. Whoa.

Which is very- Did you stand on the hedgehog? I don't know. They might have. Someone else said, I've had a toothbrush stuck in my stomach to this day from five years ago. How do you get a whole toothbrush down there? And why is it in there? What is-

That story requires more details. Yeah, I know. Sam, g'day. Hi. Sam, g'day Hi What did you get stuck in ya? I stood on a Kenner when I was 16 Yeah

And the spike went in my foot And I thought I got it out But I was at a spa day with my friends Like six years later And I was getting a foot massage and the whole needle Just like came out of my foot. Six years, did you say? Had you had foot pain that whole six years?

Like on and off. Yeah. But yeah. What a relief when you were like, oh my God, what a great spa. They say it gets the toxins out of you, but it removed a kinness spike from six years ago. That is wild.

That's incredible. Well done, Sam. Thank you. And Oscar, finally, welcome to the show. G'day, Oscar. G'day, how are you? Good, thank you. What did you get stuck in you, Oscar?

No, it wasn't me, but my grandmother of 93, she went into the hospital about five years ago for an unrelated dispute, but then they found a marble that she had swallowed from when she was about three years old. What? A 90-year-old marble inside your grandma. God, was that worth a bit of money, that marble?

Yeah, probably. She's kept it to this day. You would? Yeah. I can just imagine, Oscar, you go over there and your grandma's like, see that marble in that jar? That was in me. Yeah, I've got 36 cousins on her side,

so we all sort of had a bit of a celebration once it came out. She's like, I'll play you for it. Catch. I don't want to touch it. Loser has to swallow it. Thanks, Oscar. Great call, man. Bree and Clint.

Last night, finally, after months and months of trying to find where they could place it, the state of origin took place. The rugby league competition that Australians just froth their tits over. It is the Super Bowl of rugby league. And if you're a rugby league fan, it is the best of the best. Duking it out across the three-game series. It's Christmas. It's Christmas for rugby league fans. you're a rugby league fan it is the best of the best duking it out uh across the three game series uh it's christmas it's christmas for rugby league fans it's great um and of course it's uh you know the maroons versus the blues um and last night it took place at the adelaide oval which is never been like never happened before yeah which is quite unusual um

but i can't play in Melbourne. No, well, they can't. And then the other games will be in Sydney and Brisbane. But, of course, the Maroons came from behind and were able to take it out in 18-14 last year. That's Bree's team. That's why we're getting in-depth analysis on the game. Bree's very proud of her Queensland Maroons. It was a great game, and anyone that watched it would agree.

Very good game. A lot of new players, you know, obviously in the team's issue. All right, yeah, all right. And I've talked about the state of origin on this show before where I've secretly recorded my parents, where people often say to me, you know, where do you get that competitive spirit? Where do you get that drive?

And I've recorded my parents watching the State of Origin before and here's a little bit from a couple of years ago of my parents watching the State of Origin. I like good players who are humble about it, not the arseholes like that. Oh, shut up. Oh, what? Oh, my God. The referee is shit.

Get off him. Why don't you just give him the state of origin? Are they drunk? No. When they're watching that? They're not. Are they like 12 4X deep? They turn into these wild beasts and they just take over.

They're super passionate, always have been since I was little. My mum last night decided she would secretly film my dad watching The State of Origin. She goes, I'd love you to play this on the show. That's because you know that you were being recorded hence why you weren't doing exactly the same thing.

It's a set up. We'll take it. Here's Big Steve getting involved in The State of Origin last night. Cut the white collars. Give it to him. That's the gun for him. Good shot. Hit the arsehole again.

Everyone hates New South Wales. That's just what it gives them. Oh. That's it. Game's over. You piece of shit referee. State of Origin, you scumbag piece of shit. Shit saved the wee one.

Yeah, but that's bullsh**. I wonder what Steve's like when we lose. Your dad is such a lovely guy. He's a really cool... And yet when the game comes on, he sounds like a man possessed. However, that was at the end there who made the commenters right. They said, that's what Steve sounds like when we win. Yeah, that's our next-door neighbour.

I don't think he's coming over again. Yeah, right. Okay. The look on Clint's face, I'm like, this is real normal. State of origin time. Or else my parents are the most calmest. We need a mole. We need a mole.

What, to do the next one? To do the next one. Okay. That was your mum filming your dad. We want to hear my mum. I want to hear raw, clean audio of both of them. She's even worse. Are you sure you want that?

Who can we plant in the house? Do you know the neighbour? Can we get the neighbour to film them? I can get my sister. Get your sister in there? Yeah, they wouldn't suspect her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hopefully they're not listening to the show right now.

Or I'm going to be in big trouble. And hopefully they don't say anything incriminating either. Kia ora, I'm Simon Bound, and I host Business is Boring, a podcast that reckons it's anything but.

Bree and Clint. All right, everybody. Amy Shark has just released brand new music with Travis Barker. It's called Come On and she's on the phone with us right now. Come On.

Hello. How are you guys? My favourite sister from another mister with a ripping top knot. Are you rocking the top knot today? Mate, I'm always rocking the top knot. For those who don't know, you're talking to two classic Aussie sheilas who have had some flirty banter online about their matching, not just top knots actually, you have very similar wardrobes.

Oh, I copy Amy, to be honest. Oh, is that where it came from? There definitely has been a few mornings where I've been a little dusty on the gram scrolling, and I'm like, hang on, is that me? And I'm like, no, no, it's not. Is that him? That's Bree.

That's me. I love that. I'll take that as a massive compliment. You have no idea how much you've just made Bree's life, by the way. You know what we can do here? In the COVID age, where you can't be in anywhere other than your own country, really, it's life, by the way. You know what we can do here? In the COVID age, where you can't be in anywhere other than your own country, really,

it's a bit hard to do. If you ever do a collaboration with a New Zealand artist, like say you ever do a track with Stan Walker, we can send Bree along to the music video shoot and Bree can be in the music video shoot for you and she can just lip sync along to the Amy Shark track. Yeah, they'll be like, shit, Amy got a lot better. Yeah, right?

She's a unit now. She's a unit. You are back with brand new music and a brand new album as well with Travis Barker from Blink 182. Is that a dream come true to work with Travis Barker? Pretty awesome. Honestly, every time I see the video come up and I see Travis in my video,

I'm like, I can't believe this is actually happening. Because, you know, I grew up absolutely worshipping Blink-182. So not only do I have their drummer, like, on a song with me, but also I think he's just like the best drummer, one of the best drummers in the whole world. He's amazing. It was a huge win, yeah. And I think just having him so invested in the song,

he really loved it, like, legitimately loved it. So, yeah, it was like a huge win, yeah. And I think just having him so invested in the song, he really loved it, like legitimately loved it. So, yeah, it was like a huge win for me. Amy, can I ask, does that mean you've got Travis Barker's phone number in your phone? I do. Whoa, that's so buzzy. Who's the most famous person's phone number that you've got in your phone? Probably Ed.

Ed Sheeran. Whoa. Well, you've got Ed Sheeran. I mean, I've got Nicky Webster's number in my phone. We're pretty much the same. Hey, that's pretty good. She's Australian royalty. Hey, she is.

Icon. Hey, Amy, we thought while we've got you here, we'd play a bit of a game with you. We're calling it Amy Sharknado. Is that what we're calling it? Yeah. We made up that name on the spot. Yeah.

Amy Sharknado. The basis of the game is how well does Amy Shark know Amy Shark? That's right. Okay. So what you're about to hear are a bunch of Amy Sharknado, the basis of the game is how well does Amy Shark know Amy Shark? That's right. So what you're about to hear are a bunch of Amy Shark songs and you need to tell us whether it's you singing them or someone doing a cover of one of your songs. Exactly right. Alright, let's start.

There are five songs all together. Here comes song number one. Is this Amy Shark or not Amy Shark? Everybody, everybody cries for you. Everybody, everybody cries. What do you reckon? Is that you?

That's me, baby. 100% that's you. She's one from one. Okay. Here comes number two. Is this you or not you? Oh wait, I'm ready to shake things up and God says really gonna mess her up and I keep on fangin' and I'm strong enough shake things up And God says really Can I mess her up And I keep on praying

That I'm strong enough I think that's Travis Barker drumming lightly in the background. Is that you or someone else? Whoever it is, I think they got actually a bit of a voice in there. So it's not me,

but whoever it is did a really good job. You rate it. Nice. They're going to be stoked about it. God, you are nice, aren't you? Okay, here's number three. You rate it. Nice. Oh, they're going to be stoked about it. God, you're nice, aren't you? Okay, here's number three. She's two from two.

I need a drink. I get drunk off one sip just so I can adore you. I want the entire street out of town just to... Ooh, however that is. That is a nice acoustic. All right, they could be the next Australian Idol. Who is that? I've done that song so many times, like, in different places.

Is it me? Yes, you. Is it you? I like that you couldn't quite tell, though. That's good. Yeah. That was epic. I love that one.

Okay, three from three, two to go. Yeah, you'll be going there. Who's this? Who's that? Is that you? Everybody cries like I do. We all wonder what it's like to be. Who's that? Is that you? Once again, another really good cover. It's a tough one.

You don't think it's you? Have you walked it? Have you done something? No. Have you played this game? No, we've done nothing to it. It's fully legit. I don't think it's me. You're correct.

You're right. Well done. You're right. You're four from four. You're killing the game. There's only one left. One more. Is this you or someone else?

Tell them all I said hi. Hope you've been well. You've been asleep while I've been in hell. Tell them all I said hi. Have a nice day. I'll be just fine. Don't worry about me. Tell them all I said hi.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Yeah. Who's that, Amy? Is that three? Don't worry about me Tell them all I said I, I, I, I Tell them all I said Who's that, Amy? Is that three? Well done. I think I'd crush that. If you ever need a backup singer, let me know.

It's actually you. It's actually me. She's going full single white female on you. She's trying to become you, Amy. No, you did really well. Thank you. I appreciate that. Amy Shark, she's going full single white female on you. She's trying to become you, Amy. No, you did really well. Thank you. I appreciate that. Amy Shark, she's endorsed it.

Five from five. Amy Shark knows Amy Shark. And she even knew who I was in there. Let's play some Amy Shark. This is her brand new track with Travis Barker. It's called Come On. Thanks, Amy. Good to talk to you.

Thanks, Amy. Good to talk to you guys. Thank you. Chat soon on the DMs. Baby, I think it's amazing. Brie and Clint. Let's just see what's the plot. Once upon a time, there was a girl.

Yeah. So Imogen, it's a great week to call through because the pressure is starting to get to Bree, I think.

Brie and Clint. Brie said something to me really interesting yesterday about childhood pets. And it kind of revealed something quite shocking about your childhood, I think. I think it's quite dark. It's unresolved as well. Yeah, it is unresolved.

So tell me what you said you think your mum did when you were a kid. Look, when I was a kid, I would have been in kindy. So in Aussie, that would have been, I would have been about five. Yeah. And I got my first ever dog because we went out to this farm and I ended up bringing home this puppy. It was an Aussie Terrier. I called it Scampi and it was the love of my life.

Right. It was my first pet, my first, like it was mine. Yeah. Anyway, I loved this dog, absolutely adored it. And, I mean, when you're five, you remember bits and pieces. But not everything. But not everything. And I heard a rumour amongst like some whispers

in amongst our immediate family a few years ago or it was about a year ago and someone mentioned that Scampi, the original, and I was like, what do you mean the original? Apparently Scampi got hit by a car. Not funny. Not funny at some point. I, though, as a five-year-old, never found that out

because the rumour is my mum replaced Scampi with another lookalike dog. It's very common for parents to do that to kids. Is it? But for you to still not know as a 30-year-old adult. I still don't know if it's true. I think we'd call your mum this afternoon. I that to kids. Is it? But for you to still not know as a 30 year old adult. I still don't know if it's true. I think we call your mum this afternoon. I want to know. I want to get to the bottom of it. It's time for you to find out once and

for all. I deserve answers. Put it to your mother. Okay. Hello. Hello mum. How you going? I'm okay. How are you? Yeah, what's happening mate? Look, I've got a bit of a question for you and I just want you to be honest with Look, I've got a bit of a question for you, and I just want you to be honest with me.

I don't want any of this BS bull crap anymore. I want you to be honest. I've heard some rumours amongst the family. There's been some stuff that has let slip, should we say, Mum? Oh, no, I don't know, Brownie. You're really making me worried now. All right, put her out of her misery. I heard, Mum, that you remember Scampi, my first dog, the love of my life. I got him when I was five.

It was an adorable little Aussie terrier. Oh, yeah, that had worms when we got him. Yes, that dog, yes. Is it true, Mum, that at some point Scampi was hit by a car and you never told me and replaced it with a lookalike dog? Oh, who told you? It doesn't matter who told me. Mum would die. So is that true?

Oh, it could be. You're going to die. So is that true? It could be. Mum, I can't believe you've never told me this. We tell each other everything. I heard it. It was murmurs. How did you get a dog that looked enough like Scampi? Where did you get it from? Well, fortunately, I came across it.

It was in the same litter. Oh, okay. So it was a blood relative. So? I mean, it's close enough. Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't hurt her, Clint. I was protecting her.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now I've got issues of letting things go because I've never dealt with it early on. Who is this random dog that you bonded with? I don't know. And then it was really weird because mum was like, oh, Scampi's going to go live with your nan for a few weeks. And now it all

makes sense because that's when you were doing them old switcheroos. Is that when it happened? Yeah. I hate to tell you though, Brianna, we did that with some of the cats as well. Oh, sorry. This is legit though. This is actual legit. My life did not know that until I'm now a 30-year-old woman.

There is some pit cemetery going on at the back of the apple orchard that you've got no idea about. Shocking. And there's three versions of every animal you've ever loved buried in that garden. Hey, we appreciate the honesty, Mama Di. Do we? You didn't have to. You could have

taken that cigarette to your grave. I hope you feel better about getting it off your chest. Well, all I can say is I can't lie to Brianna if she asks me a direct question. But then if I don't ask you, it's fine. Yeah, lies of omission are fine. No, but you can kind of manoeuvre, it's fine. Yeah, yeah. Lies of omission are fine. No, but you can kind of manoeuvre around it sometimes.

Oh, yeah. Good to know, Mum. Thanks very much. Mum and Di, we appreciate it. Thanks, Mum. And we're going to open up the lines this afternoon. Think of it as therapy. 0800 dial ZM.

Did your parents replace your pet without telling you? I hope not. It's not a very nice feeling, Mum. I'd love to hear from people who could tell the difference straight away as well. You can text us on 9696 or you can call us now on 0800 dial ZM. Some devastating news just revealed to Bree about

her childhood pets. Turns out Bree's dog died when she was five and Mama Di and Big Steve just replaced it with another dog from the same litter. And I'm pretty sure my original dog Sc Scampi, was a boy and they replaced it with a female. We've just had it confirmed.

This is new news to you 25 years later. I get the methodology. They didn't want to upset you as a kid and they didn't think you were ready to learn. I'm actually really shocked by that, though. That's something that I found out so later in life. They kept that secret. Did not tell me for years.

We want to know how common it is. It'll be more common than we realise because this is just people who have found out. Or these are the people willing to admit. Becca's here. Hi Becca. Hi Becca. Hi. Has this happened to you? Has someone taken

something away from you, Becca? They sure did. My goldfish was replaced yearly. Yearly? Yep, for about 13 odd years. What? I believe they had a 13-year-old goldfish. Did you honestly think your goldfish had been alive

for 13 years? Yes. I mean, I was young when I got it. I was three and it was replaced yearly. I just imagine Becca typing an email to Guinness Book of Records, my goldfish has been alive. The Guinness Book of Records is like, oh, God, we've got another goldfish one. Oh, not again.

What made you realise the goldfish was finally, did it die? Or did your parents say, look, we're not buying any more goldfish? It got spots. Oh. I came home one day and my goldfish didn't quite look like a goldfish. Something was fishy, was it Becca? Yeah, something was definitely

fishy with that one. We got a goldfish text from someone who said, my mum replaced my goldfish when it died while I was at grandma's. But when I came home, the new goldfish had black lips. So my auntie and her made up a story that they had fed my goldfish black licorice. As a kid, you'd buy that.

You would. Yeah, you'd buy that. I bought that I had a 13-year-old goldfish. Yeah, because the other side... Kids are stupid. Your parents are running a dead goldfish racket. Way too unbelievable. Kids are dumb.

Donna's here. G'day, Donna. Kids are dumb. Donna's here. G'day, Donna. Hi, Donna. Hi, how are you? Good. Did this happen to you, Mae? I'm the parent that actually replaced the cat. This is good.

Okay, what are you doing? What did you do? I replaced my son's rabbit that my cat had killed. Ooh. Yeah, that's a tough conversation. Okay, how old was the kid? I think my son at that stage was about six or seven. I was about six, and it was a little black rabbit.

Yeah, I'd had him about two weeks, three weeks. Could he tell the difference? No, no, he couldn't, luckily. He was away at his grandparents' that night. So I actually had to drive. There was no internet then, and so what I had to do was drive. We had to look in the phone book,

my husband and I at the time, and try and find rabbit breeders. Oh, my God. You're kidding. And we drove all the way up to Kaukopakapa, and it was dead at night, like really late at night, trying to find a little black rabbit because my son was due home the next day. We got one.

We got one. You got it. Can you imagine if Donna couldn't find one and they only found guinea pigs and they tried to play off like – and then the son's like, this isn't even a rabbit. Where did his ears go? It's a guinea pig. Okay, Donna, here's the million-dollar question.

How old is your son now? He's 34. Okay. And he still doesn't know. That's the question. How old's your son now? He's 34. And he still doesn't know. That's the question. He won't know because he's in Canada so he won't even know even now. There you go. You sure he doesn't get the podcast? I'm sure he doesn't.

He's probably working out. He's sleep about now. Yeah, but it's a podcast. Yeah, but Donna, we could have put you into witness protection. We could have given you a fake name for this. No, it's all good. It's all good. He doesn't stand anyway. There's a good parenting lesson in this, Donna, and that's

buy your kids generically coloured animals Very smart. So they're easier to replace. Don't get a Dalmatian. Absolutely. No, no, no. Oh God, no. No. Very hard to match the spots. Nothing recognisable and nothing expensive. Thanks, Donna. Thanks, no, God, no, no. Very hard to match the spots. Yeah, no, nothing recognisable and nothing expensive. Thanks, Donna. Thanks, Donna.

He's going to hate it. He'll be like, why don't you play Katy Perry? Someone said it was a triple threat birthday banger today. It was a triple threat birthday banger. Can you play them all? And to be honest, Ross, if you're angry at anyone, be angry at producer Anastasia. She did come from Coast.

She's the one who chose it. Coast is still running through her blood, I think. She's completely checked out too. She's not even listening. She's gone and made a sandwich. You do not GAF, do you, Anastasia? You are literally stuck inside a young person's body. I'm so sorry, guys.

No, don't say that. We enjoyed it. We enjoyed it. Do You know Anastasia's favourite show is The Golden Girls? No, it's not. It's Coronation Street. Come on. Yeah, true. Look, before I start this story, Clint, I am totally aware that this is 100% a first world problem. Okay. As long as you're aware. I'm totally aware, but something truly devastating happened to me this morning.

So for the past, I want to say, month, my partner and I, we've been entranced by a TV show. You know when you find one and you're just really hooked and it's the best feeling ever that you can get to go home that night and you have something to watch. You don't have to look for anything. It's a golden patch. It's been amazing.

It's been a really, really great last three or four weeks. It's been awesome. Anyway, the show is Australian Survivor All-Stars. Oh, right. I mean, absolutely hooked, lined, sinkered. Sunk. Sunk. Absolutely loving it.

It's on TVNZ On Demand. But, look, we got restless and we decided that we wanted to skip ahead. What do you mean skip ahead? Well, the show went to air in Aussie like back in March. Yeah. So we may have looked up some stuff online. Oh, I see. You couldn't wait to find out.

To find the episodes. Yeah. No, no, no. We didn't look at who won. How far did you want to skip ahead? I thought you were enjoying the show. Yeah, but we get obsessed and we want to just watch it all. Yeah.

Anyway, so we found this website where we were watching episodes or whatever. Totally legal website. Dodgy. Yeah, so we found this website where we were watching episodes or whatever. Totally legal website. Dodgy. Yeah, totally legal. Anyway, so essentially we get down to it is the last episode. Yep. This is it. This is the one where the two people at the end.

Don't spoil it because those people will be watching it. I'm not spoiling it. Okay, good. The two people at the end sit and the jury listen to what they have to say. They vote and we find out who wins and becomes the sole survivor. Gotcha. We've spent a whole

month on this show. You're invested. A long time invested. Yeah. Anyway, the website that we've been using, all the episodes kind of look the same and you forget what numbers is what. And we've started the episode and turns out I had accidentally clicked on the reunion show.

Oh. And I'm not even lying. The first thing the host of the show said was, such and such has just won half a million dollars. So you didn't even get to watch the last episode. We spent a whole damn month. It serves, I mean, I feel bad for you. Serves you right, though.

Nothing good can come. Nothing good can come Nothing good can come And this is the whole issue We had watching Masterchef Is We're so far behind On these shows You just have to It sucks

You just have to avoid Any social media To do with these shows Because normally I'd be looking up You know I'm so entranced I'd be looking up contestants

On Instagram Or whatever But we've literally Locked ourselves down Yeah And we've literally locked ourselves down. And we've managed to get all the way to the last episode and I went and did that. Yeah, right. The look on my partner's face.

I don't think I can go home. Yeah, because it's your fault. It's my fault. It's your fault. All my fault. Gutted. Bree and Clint. The Melbourne Cup went down on Tuesday. My fault. Gutted. Free and Clint.

The Melbourne Cup went down on Tuesday. Does anyone here know anyone who made any money on the Melbourne Cup? You put some money down, didn't you? I didn't make no money. I didn't make no money. No one in our team made any money. Ben couldn't even log into his TAB account. Are you still banned?

Yeah, I'm still banned. No one should bet that much money on the Crusaders. Although, I mean. They should. Actually, they probably should. One Christchurch man is celebrating the biggest Melbourne Cup payout in the New Zealand TAB history. Wow. No one has won as much money as this guy did on the Melbourne Cup

specifically in New Zealand ever. He's a retired man from Bishopdale in Christchurch. How good's Christchurch? How good's Christchurch? And he put a bunch of bets down. He spent $120 on Melbourne Cup Day. Oh, so not too much. Yeah, not too much.

One bet specifically is the bet that won this big prize. Yeah, how did he win the big prize? And that bet was $30. It was a $30 bet that he put on. And he bet on, it's like a top four or something. And you bet on four horses in random order. Anyway, $30. The combo that he put down and the horses that he specifically picked

have returned him from $30, $1,168,185. Oh my God. It's the most money anybody has ever won on the Melbourne Cup in New Zealand. How did he do it? He picked the- So it was like what? A combination of four horses? Yeah, but he picked first place.

He picked two horses that could come in first. Right. And then two horses that could come in first right and then two horses that could come in second and then they were the same horse so he got two horses and either of these horses can come first or second right and then two more horses and he said either of these horses can come third or fourth and he managed to get the right four horses and they came in and he's made it he's now a millionaire. That's insane. Because I said to you yesterday, I was like, the Melbourne Cup, probably one of the worst races to bet on. Why? Because every, you think about it.

Because it's so hard to predict. It's like the World Series. It's like the Super Bowl. It's like the best of the best all racing in the one race. So it's nearly impossible. There is favourites, of course, there always is. But it's nearly impossible there is favorites of course there always is yeah but it's nearly impossible to pick that kind of stuff totally um look i love a flutter as much as the next guy probably a little bit more than the next guy actually um but it does say in the

story about this guy that uh he has been a loyal customer of his tab for 25 years so probably just won back what he spent over the last 25 years And now picking up One million dollars He may have just broke even So If you want a sure thing This weekend Feel free to bet

On the All Blacks They're playing Australia again Yeah they said That is a good bet Zed Eames Free in Clint The podcast With mobile smiles
