Hello everybody and welcome to the Brianne Clint podcast where this intro does not feature Anastasia
currently because she's just nipped off to make a cup of tea and a biscuit.
She's making a tea.
She came in with a wonderful offer. She said,
Hey guys, I'm just wondering, does anybody feel like a cup of tea and a biscuit?
Do you guys want to know what weird shit I'm buying on the internet right now?
Always.
I feel like I'm going to get judged for this on the show.
Well, you're the one bringing it up.
I know, but eventually you'll find out about it. So I may as well just... Oh, you're trying to own it. Yeah, I'm going to get judged for this on the show. Well, you're the one bringing it up. I know, but eventually you'll find out about it.
So I may as well just.
Oh, you're trying to own it.
Yeah, I'm going to try and own it.
Okay, front foot it.
That's key.
Front foot it.
Okay.
I'm going to show you what I'm looking at currently purchasing.
And you tell me if it's a.
Yes or no.
Yes or no.
All right.
Are you ready?
All right.
Three, two, one.
Well, all right.
Yes or no?
So I feel like I may have heavily influenced you in this department.
It's a front pack carrier for a dog.
I feel like it would make me bond with Whitney more.
As someone who wears a front pack carrier every day with my daughter.
Do you feel closer?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
But it's necessary because she can't walk.
No, neither can Whitney.
No.
Technically, she can't walk outside yet because she hasn't got her second immunisation.
So is that what this is for?
To keep her off?
She should get that next week.
No, this is just for fun.
Yeah, right.
Do it.
I'm a fan of any of this stuff.
You should just do it.
It's only 30 bucks
Oh
Yeah
You should get
Yeah
I might
Probably should get the good quality one
So she's comfortable
She's gonna be in it once
Just buy the $30 one
Yeah true
For the photo
We also don't know what it does
Is it good for a dog
To be like that?
Probably not
Yeah
I think they're fine
It's quite a small dog
Maybe it'll stretch it out
Make it taller
You don't want that
Cause have you guys seen Those backpacks like Taylor Swift has got for the cats?
With the bubble in it.
It's got the bubble in it.
My friend bought one of those and he takes his cat places.
Does the cat like it?
My cat would shit the bed in one of those.
I think his cat's pretty chill.
It doesn't mind it.
Speaking of shitting the bed, what if the cat literally shits in that backpack is what I've always wondered.
Because you can't take a cat out of it in a public place because the cat will scarper.
So you've just got to carry around this cat in a
backpack that reeks of its own cat poo.
It takes ages to get out.
Didn't they do it in your gym bag?
Yeah, no, that was a different situation.
Clint didn't take the cat to the gym.
The cat just got into his gym bag.
I took cat shit to the gym.
Yeah, that's right. And on your shirt.
Yeah, alright. right. And on your shirt. Yeah, all right.
Yeah.
Hey, here's a question.
Did you guys know that certain Bunnings, you're allowed to walk your dog in there?
Yeah, and all Mitre 10s.
Yeah, that's cool.
All Mitre 10s?
Yeah.
And certain Bunnings?
Yeah, and all Mitre 10s.
How good is that?
That's great.
That's awesome.
Well, lots of tradies have got dogs.
True.
And that's the reason why only some Bunnings do it,
because not all tradies' dogs are...
Toilet trained.
Well, or even just, like, well-mannered.
Yeah.
I'd be too nervous that I'd go into Bunnings with my dog
and Whitney would take a big dump on the floor or do a wee and then...
Yeah.
You know, then what are you going to do?
Anastasia's back with the cups of tea.
Yeah, she's just going to bring them in now, guys.
Where else can you take animals?
The park.
Yeah, no, that's standard, I think.
That's standard.
Not all parks, though.
Wherever you want in a front pack.
Hang on, sorry, Anastasia.
Are you talking to me?
Yeah.
Yeah, would you?
Thanks for the cup of tea, Anastasia.
Okay, I'm going to buy this.
I'll put your shot of whiskey in there, too.
Oh, yeah.
Appreciate that, Anastasia. What are I'm going to buy this. I put your shot of whiskey in there too. Oh, yeah. Appreciate that, Anastasia.
What are your thoughts on this for Whitney?
Yeah, I rate it.
I'm going to be cute.
Yeah.
Doesn't matter what we say.
She's already bought it.
Yeah, I've already bought it in a couple of times.
This is what you need to learn, Anastasia.
Anytime Bree shows you one of those things, she's already purchased it.
It was the same with the bike pants and it was the same with the corduroy pants.
And yet we haven't seen the corduroy pants.
Yeah, where are they?
Which is an issue.
I wore them.
I wore them one day.
Did you?
Yeah, they're quite tight.
What colour were they?
They're black.
Is that the ones your partner were wearing on the weekend?
Get a different size?
Yes, if I had the same ones, yeah.
Oh, the same ones.
No, she has like
three sizes smaller than mine.
Okay, so
you've purchased that. Oh, you put a lot of whiskey in here.
That's good.
Just like you asked. Thank you. Appreciate that.
More next time.
Yeah, right. Let's rip into a podcast
show, everybody. Enjoy this.
Just cherish every moment.
Wait! Anastasia, where's the
biscuits? Oh yeah.
Where's the biscuits?
I'm going to go get them right now.
I thought you were about to say that someone had stolen
all of them. Oh no, no, no.
We've still got heaps of packs. We've been hoarding
them. Okay, enjoy everybody.
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 Bree and Clint on?
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
What's going on, everybody?
Four more days until the long weekend.
How's that feel, coming out the mouth?
You know what's great about this long weekend?
It's been so long since we've had one.
Yeah.
You know, in the front part of the year,
long weekends just flying all over the place,
hitting you in the face.
Yeah, well, there's been 742 weeks this year so far.
So who knows how long since we had a long weekend?
You're right.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
It's been a long while.
How you going, everybody? If you've had a rough
year, we want to give you some money today with the
COVID rain check. Thanks to
Save My Bacon. You need to go to ZM
online and tell us exactly what you
missed out on because of COVID.
That's right. And if
you want to stick around for a little while,
we're giving away money just before four.
Aren't we? No, we're giving
away an iPad. Oh, we're giving away an iPad?
Yeah.
Oh, that's new to me.
Even better than money.
Even better, an iPad.
An iPad.
Yeah, just before four o'clock,
we'll give away an iPad thanks to Messy University.
Next, though, we want to put you guys to sleep.
No, we don't.
Yeah, we do.
We want to tell you what isn't good to put you to sleep.
Oh, right.
There's a study that's been done.
Oh.
Yeah, so if you've got trouble sleeping and you're trying all the things and the oils.
We're going to make it worse.
And the noises.
No, we can tell you something that this study's saying,
probably not as good as what you thought it would be.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's good to clarify.
We'll do it next.
Bree and Clint. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. That's good to clarify. We'll do it next. I feel like, you know, sleep is such an important thing
that people all at some point in their life struggle with.
Right.
Whether it be because of a baby, because of a puppy,
because of insomnia, because of stress.
It's something that I think a lot of people...
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy too because once you have bad sleep,
you're stressed about bad sleep.
And then you're stressed about going to sleep, getting to sleep.
And then you keep looking at the clock.
You're like, if I get to sleep now, I'll get six hours.
You're doing deals with the devil all the way down.
You're like, okay, I'll go to sleep right now
and I'll get five hours and three minutes.
One of the worst things, and I think through lockdown,
when you're not exerting all the energy you should be,
people would have really struggled with sleep.
All the stress and worry from the lockdown itself.
This isn't going to help because there's a study that's been released, or it might help
actually.
In this study, they're talking about people who use white noise to get to sleep.
Ah, beautiful white noise.
White noise.
There's all types of apps you can get.
There's things on Spotify.
We've got a white noise machine.
Yeah, a baby's very common.
That we use for my daughter, yeah.
And if you don't know what it is,
it's essentially where it emits noises
using low frequencies that mimic the sound
of like other appliances and stuff.
Rain.
So like the hum of a fridge or a fan or whatever.
And apparently the idea is that the noises block out any other sounds and frequencies that could be like disturbing with your sleep.
It's great for babies because you can still like live your life in the house while they're asleep.
That's what they are saying that it's good for
and a lot of people use it for.
Whereas this study and scientists are now saying
that the evidence in favour of this is actually,
it could be bad for us.
White noise would be bad for you.
That's what this study is saying.
I briefly became addicted to white noise when my daughter was born
because we listened to it so much in the room
when she was trying to go to sleep
that I found once she moved out of our room,
I couldn't sleep without it.
I just needed it.
I needed that cue to be able to go to sleep.
Yeah, this study, they've looked into 38 studies
investigating noise as a method of helping people to get to sleep.
And they're saying that it's actually really low
and contradicts that it's actually good for you.
Any noise?
Like using noise to get to sleep.
Yeah, any kind of noise?
Yes.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, I think they're talking about white noise here,
any type of white noise.
And, I mean, I'm not a scientist,
but they're saying it's something to do with like,
so it's allowing your auditory system to actually switch off at night time.
Yeah.
Whereas having something like that in the background doesn't.
Yeah, it's constant.
It doesn't let you actually fully.
It does seem unnatural when you're listening to it.
Yeah.
It takes a while to get used to.
It made me think about what I've, when I get really stressed, I find it really hard to get to sleep.
Yeah.
And because my mind just races. So I usually, I'll put the sleep timer on my TV in the room
and I'll have it on for like half an hour.
You use the TV to get to sleep?
Yeah, and I have the TV on real low but just in the background.
What's the show?
What's the show that bores you to sleep?
There's a few.
Yeah, right.
There's a couple, Big Bang Theory.
No, to be honest, I usually just put on something that's light
and, you know, not like super intense movie or anything.
Something you're not interested in watching as well.
That too.
Something I've seen.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
What about you?
Do you put on anything?
I don't have a problem with sleep.
No.
Yeah.
Well, we know that about you.
I've never had a problem with sleep in my life.
Like I just, it's my superpower.
If you challenged me to fall asleep in the corner of this room right now, if you gave me four and a half minutes, I guarantee you I would be asleep.
Okay. Well, there's a challenge. Yeah. Four and a half minutes. Yeah. I don't know how you would
know if I was lying or not. You probably need to hook me up to a machine, but I could do it.
Sleep machine. Yeah. Yeah. I could do it. A sleep machine. We could actually probably do that. I
wanted to ask people this afternoon, cause this is obviously a lot of people are going to be like,
oh, this is BS. White noise is the best thing ever you know helps me i want to know what do you guys
use to get to sleep to get to sleep like do you use a diffuse what is it an air purifier an air
purifier yeah you have you know something that you always a ritual that you do before you go to sleep
do you have a weighted blanket a legal ritual, okay? You smoke a big joint?
No, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Got to wait for the results of the referendum.
Oh, wait, two weeks, we'll have the second one.
Yeah, two weeks, you're allowed to call up and say that.
Yeah, do you have like half a glass of rosé
before you go to bed?
I don't know.
0800-DIAL-ZM.
What do you do to get to sleep?
You can also text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
We're talking white noise.
No, not that white noise.
White noise.
2000s.
White noise.
Pop punk band, The Living End.
That was a banger, wasn't it?
This kind of white noise.
Don't adjust your television set.
Yeah, this is actually illegal to play on the radio.
Is it?
No.
Oh.
But our boss gets very angry about it.
He's like, is it an issue with the transmitter?
No, you haven't switched over to AM.
You're still on FM.
I don't think this happens on AM.
Are you sure?
I think this is an FM issue.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, there's a study that's been done and talks about people who use...
You know what you don't get on AM?
What?
All that I'm hearing from you. It's that kind of white noise. There's a study that's been done and talks about people who use... You know what you don't get on AM? What?
That kind of white noise.
We need to play more Living End on ZM, I feel.
Do we?
I think so.
Anyway, what was I saying?
White noise isn't good for your sleep.
Yeah, white noise, they're saying, actually,
this study is saying that they deem it's not very good for getting to sleep,
nor is it good to have on when you're sleeping because it doesn't give your brain a rest.
All these studies that we present on this show, when you hear them...
Tag them with a grain of salt.
You should be like Trump whenever he meets a scientist.
You choose whether to believe it or not.
Well, we're just giving you the information from a study,
but it is scientists that have done the study.
We want to know what do you use to get to sleep?
What's your sleep hack?
What's your trick?
Hi, Kim.
Hi, Kim.
Hello.
What is it for you?
Oh, so I have to watch and have in the background
the Cinderella story from Hilary Duff.
I love that movie.
It's the soundtrack.
It's like puts me to sleep.
It's lovely.
It is a good soundtrack. Have you lovely. So what have you got?
It is a good soundtrack.
Have you got it downloaded or have you got like a DVD that you put on each time?
So I have it on DVD and Netflix.
Boom, you've got the backup, Kim.
You're covered no matter where you are.
Oh, good.
Well, at least you know your movie too.
Yeah.
At least you've figured out what it is.
Anika, hi.
Hi.
Hi.
What does it do?
What gets you to sleep, Anika?
It's Sleepy on Spotify.
Sleepy on Spotify.
Is it a Spotify?
A playlist.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, reach out stories and you can put a timer on it too.
Yeah.
Oh, that's good.
So it goes off in an hour.
Yeah.
So at least you know if you're going to sleep by the hour.
Bluetooth speaker or your own set of headphones?
No, just my phone.
Your what?
Just on your phone?
Oh, no, we lost her.
Oh, we've lost her.
She went to sleep.
Because it is dangerous sleeping with your earpods in.
Can we...
Because there was that guy that one time that did that
and then he woke up and he'd swallowed one of them.
Oh, he'd swallowed it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can we... The people who are texting the are 18 ways that they get to sleep.
We know that's a good way.
We get it, okay?
We get it.
No, we know.
We know.
In your garden and you're probably exhausted after five minutes.
We know.
Nothing makes me more relaxed.
Yeah, we get it, okay?
I'm straight to sleep.
Blake, hi.
My girlfriend loves it.
How are we?
Hey, turn that radio down, pal, and tell us what you use to get to sleep.
Sometimes if I can't sleep, I'll make a little playlist.
And if I can't sleep, it's just full of soft music and a few little lullabies.
Some lullabies, Blake.
I use it for my kid as well.
Yeah, right.
What sort of songs have you got on there?
Is this feature?
I might need to actually add that.
Yeah.
Might help a bit.
Yeah, might help a bit.
Yeah, okay.
All right, music for Blake, and we'll go one more.
We'll go to Piper.
Hi, Piper.
Hi.
Help people out.
How are you getting to sleep when you can't sleep?
In the summer, I use a fan,
and then in the winter, me and my partner move our bedroom out
so we can listen to the crackling of the fire.
Wait, you sleep in the living room?
Yeah, in the winter, we do.
No way.
That's commitment.
Is that dangerous, Piper, to go to sleep with an open fire going?
No, no, no.
We shut the door on it, we could still hear it all popping
and stuff when the water's a bit wet.
So that's how we get it. You should just get
a TV in your room and put on that
four hours fire channel.
I tried it with the TV but it's
not the same.
Yeah, right.
You don't get drenched
in sweat
from the TV one.
Yeah, exactly don't.
Yeah, exactly.
Feels like your face is on fire.
Oh, this is perfect.
I'm going to go to sleep.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio.
This is.
The latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, finally, finally, finally, Adele's got new music coming, she says.
She does.
That's what she's hinted at.
She's actually going to be hosting Saturday Night Live.
And, you know, they only host Saturday Night Live
when you've got a real reason to be massively in the public eye.
She's hosting it.
She's even going to involve herself with the funny, hilarious skits
because she's a classic, you know.
She's funny.
Very funny. Yeah, she's hilarious classic. She's funny. Very funny.
Yeah, she's hilarious. And she's teased new music. Now, here's...
I don't know how to say this. There's no way to... Nice way to say
this, but the good thing about her hideous
divorce that happened, good music.

best songs come out.

They turn them out when they go through
a breakup.
And Dane Rumble.
Worked for Dane Rumble

came from.
So don't say it doesn't work.
And I'm not saying

That's the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy.
Thanks to Two Degrees Broadband.
Give it a whiff yourself at twodegreesbroadband.co.nz.
Bree and Clint.
Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, that stuck with you.
Not very fitting for this next conversation.
Right.
Because I want to talk about friend breakups.
Not relationship breakups, but friendship breakups.
Because they do happen.
And they can be just as messy as a relationship breakup.
Even worse.
They can be, yeah.
Because it's usually, I mean,
it can be a way longer relationship that you're breaking up from.
No one ever says, like, I'm breaking up with you to their friend.
No.
There's never a clean break.
If you and your friend.
It's messy.
It's either really messy or you just drifted apart.
It just fades away.
No one mentioned it.
And then one day you realize you get a Facebook memory with that person that you used to spend
every weekend with.
And you're like, what happened?
And you'd call them about everything.
And you go, I don't even know if I've got their number anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was an interesting conversation in my house the other day
because I noticed on Facebook two of my really good friends
and they have been best friends for I want to say over 10 years.
Yeah.
Very, very good friends.
And I noticed some weird stuff happening on Facebook
over the last couple of weeks because they moved in together
about a year and a half ago and they'd never lived together before. And I messaged one of them and I said, hey,
just wanted to check in. Hopefully everything's all good. Are you still living with such and such
and how's all that going and whatever? Anyway, she told me that after living together,
they've gone their separate ways. They've had a friend breakup.
And they've had a bit of a falling out. Yeah.
It would be incredibly common.
And you go, we should live together.
We're best friends.
It'll be great.
And I don't know what it is about the dynamic that changes when you live together.
And it doesn't always happen.
I've lived with friends before.
Same, and it's worked out great.
And it survived.
Yeah.
It survived. It survived.
That means it didn't work out well.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It worked out good.
But then I've got friendships where we had to move out.
To save the friendship.
Yeah.
At that stage it was to save ourselves from each other.
Yeah.
And it took a long time.
But the friendship did come back.
Yeah.
Which I'm really grateful for.
But it doesn't always.
No.
It can toss your stuff up in the air so much that it costs you the friendship.
It's pretty intense.
What do you think about it is?
I think.
Is it just you get too much of that person
or you find out things that you didn't know about them as a friend
and you're like, actually, I don't like you as much as I thought I did?
Yeah, I think it just adds another layer to the relationship.
Yeah.
And it complicates it even more.
So instead of, you know, having this amount of things to fight about,
you have like a way bigger range of things to, you know,
get annoyed about at each other.
Well, same for your friends.
That sucks.
Yeah.
Hopefully, I mean, they have been friends for over 10 years.
Hopefully nothing too bad happened because I said,
I was like, oh, did anyone, you know.
It depends if money was involved.
It depends if partners were involved.
Yeah, that makes it messy, which I don't think it was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, good.
So hopefully they can, you know, smooth things over, but we'll see.
Yeah.
But I want to know from people because it's quite interesting, you know,
how you navigate friendships and what happens in friendships
and whether the friendship stays alive or not after things happen.
Not all friendships are forever.
No.
Everybody grows up and changes.
And sometimes you're just friends with someone for a moment.
And I think there are relationships too.
A reason or a season.
Yeah.
I think sometimes friendship relationships can be so intense
that they're only meant to exist for a little while
and then they burn out.
Yeah.
And maybe they burn out spectacularly.
Like a...
Blaze of glory.
Yeah, like a real relationship.
Yeah.
It's so true.
I totally agree.
I want to know from people, did you have a friend breakup?
Mm-hmm.
And what was it over?
Yeah.
Why did you break up with your friend?
What was the catalyst?
Yeah.
Was it really messy? Was it a, you know, big drama? Yeah. What did you break up with your friend? What was the catalyst? Yeah. Was it really messy?
Was it a big drama?
Yeah.
Were you childhood friends and now you don't talk to each other at all anymore?
It might be a touchy subject for you and we appreciate that.
We can give you a fake name if you need one this afternoon.
Absolutely.
0800 DIALZM or you can text us on 9696.
What did you and your friend break up because of?
We're talking about friendship breakups.
When is friendship broken down?
Multiple reasons why friendships can, you know, obviously break up.
And is it sadder than a real breakup?
I think sometimes it can be, yeah.
Because friendships are pure.
One of my friends, well, you hope so.
I had to break up with one of my really, really good friends
because she kept going out with all my exes.
Oh, you've told me about this.
It became a pattern.
It was on three separate occasions, and by the third one, I was like, okay.
You were being single white females.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Literally.
Literally.
Amy's here.
G'day, Amy.
Hi, Amy.
Hi, how are you guys?
Good, thank you.
Did you have a friend break up?
Yeah, we decided to move our horses
into the same paddock. Right
and that's why the friendship broke down
Yeah she would
there was like jobs
and stuff that weren't getting done but then there was
some you know money got involved and that wasn't
good but her horse kept
so silly, her horse kept
biting mine.
Oh, no.
I went to catch my horse, and her horse bit mine on the bum, and so then my horse turned around and tried to bite her horse, but it got me on the arm and got it real bad.
No.
Got me real bad.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, well.
And so it was over, so essentially it was over a horse bite.
Yeah.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Are you guys friends again now, or are the friendships over?
It's mostly over.
And where are the horses?
Are they still sharing a paddock?
No.
Isn't it weird, Amy, how you guys aren't friends anymore,
and obviously the horses weren't friends.
Yeah, they were biting each other.
They were mirrored in the animals.
Ashley's here.
Hi, Ashley.
Hi, Ash. Hi, Ash.
Hi.
Why did your friendship break up?
We were friends for about 13, 14 years since primary school.
Wow.
And I kind of stole her boyfriend.
Oh, it's your fault.
Not intentionally.
It wasn't meant to be like that, but that's what happened.
And it just went down the drain.
Months of fighting,
arguing. Oh, it was horrible.
What do you mean when you say not intentionally?
Did you slip and fall?
Well, because I wasn't living in the same town
so when I came and visited her,
she introduced me to her boyfriend.
Yeah.
And then we kind of...
Yeah, yeah. What's that about?
Oh my God, Ashley.
Ashley, are you, wait, here's my question.
Are you guys still together, you and the guy?
We ended up getting married and having a couple of kids together
for about 10 years, but no, we're not together now.
Wow, so you went the long distance, that's for sure.
Yeah, you really committed to that one.
Yeah, I had to show her that I was right, not her.
Ashley. Oh, I love Ashley. She's great. Not a good reason to that one. Yeah, I had to show her that I was right. I love Ashley.
She's great.
Not a good reason to get married.
Finally, Karen, tell us about your friend breakup.
I was friends with a girl for probably 25 or so years.
We were long sisters.
25 years, Karen.
That is a long time.
Yeah.
Our kids grew up together and we went to the same preschool,
schools, everything, you know.
And I bought a new car and she said, oh, can I buy you?
Oh, so we came to an agreement on a price and they said they'd pay so much per week.
And I thought, that's really cool.
And then they paid one payment and then she just didn't talk to me again.
Never.
So wait, she did the dirty on you?
She stole your car.
Yeah, never got the money, never heard anything back from her ever, you know.
Wait, 25 years?
25 years?
Who would...
Yeah, five minutes in the country.
Yeah.
And so you just, you know,
we used to just hang out all the time.
Oh my God.
Did you go and steal your own car back?
No, I wouldn't be that mean.
I'm just, you know, I just thought...
Throw it in.
If she thinks that our friendship,
then she's not the right person anyway.
Karen, can I ask?
So she's thrown in 25 years of friendship
for obviously a certain amount of money.
How much money did she actually owe you?
Oh, only about $2,000.
It was an old car.
Is that it?
It was old enough.
That's what she thought of the 25 years of friendship.
And you gave her an interest-free payment plan.
Yeah, I just wasn't used to worrying about it at the end of the day
because if I didn't mean enough to her for her actually to go through with the deal,
it was like $50 a week.
It wasn't going to be a huge amount of money, you know?
Well, don't pay the WAF or the rego on that, Karen.
I got it reduced.
I got rid of it pretty quickly.
You should report it stolen.
Yeah.
I could have done that, but I'm just too nice.
That's the problem.
Move on with your life, Karen.
You're better off.
There you go.
Bree and Clint.
Breaking food news, everybody.
As if this wretched year wasn't bad enough,
New Zealand is on the brink of a watermelon shortage.
Oh, yeah, we haven't had watermelons for ages.
Nah.
Remember we had that thing the other week
where you wanted to crack a watermelon with your powerful thighs?
Yeah, I wanted to.
We couldn't even source one.
I wanted to squash it between my thighs to prove my strength.
We sent producer Anastasia to like four different countdowns
and no luck, eh, Anastasia?
No watermelons.
Yeah, they all just shook their heads and said I was a crazy woman.
It is not watermelon season at the moment, though, is it?
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure it's not.
What's watermelon season?
I'm pretty sure it's summer.
I thought it was always kiwi.
Yeah, I know, but we're going into summer.
Yeah, but we're not in summer.
Okay, this is the issue.
The watermelon shortage is impending on the verge of summer.
We import our watermelon in New Zealand, the majority of it.
Yeah, summer, yeah.
Summer.
All right, good, thanks.
And watermelons imported from Tonga have been halted
because they found live fruit fly larvae on the watermelons at the border.
Well, that's terrifying.
Yeah, they can't come in.
The rest of our watermelons.
Actually, no, sorry. We do grow some watermelon, I found out. Where? Where are they growing watermelons at the border. Well, that's terrifying. Yeah, they can't come in. The rest of our watermelons. Actually, no, sorry.
We do grow some watermelon, I found out.
Where?
Where are they growing watermelons?
In the mighty Waikato, I read.
Are they?
Yeah.
But we import the bulk load of our watermelons.
We used to get a lot of our watermelons from Breeze, Homeland, Queensland.
Did we?
Yeah, but they've been restricted since December
when they detected Cucumber Green Mottled Mosaic Virus. Yeah, you can't been restricted since December when they detected cucumber green mottled mosaic virus.
Yeah, you can't have those coming in.
Or CGMMMV.
Oh, not the CGMMMV.
Yeah, so, yeah.
No, in all seriousness, it's actually a really, like, serious topic.
You can't.
No, you can't.
And it looks like we may be having a watermelon-free summer here in New Zealand,
except for that guy in the Waikato that's growing his watermelons.
He's about to...
What, the hobby farmer?
Yeah, he's about to make bank, baby.
Can you imagine if you'd planted...
A price of watermelon will go through the roof for him.
Can you imagine if you'd say you'd planted a hobby farm of watermelons?
You'd be like, oh, here's my chance.
For this, I made something that I don't really particularly feel like using anymore.
I've made a jingle to go with it.
Okay, we'll play it. No, I've lost all confidence
in it. Producer Ben made it for me.
It's really good, you should play it.
No, I feel like... No, you should definitely play that.
You should definitely play it.
You've got enough time. I feel like this
might retire me
from ZM and move me straight over to the
breeze is the issue.
It's that level of...
So I would like to make an executive decision.
Unless you really want to hear it.
Yeah, go on, play it.
Oh, I was hoping you'd support me on this.
Fine, here's the jingle to go
with New Zealand's impending watermelon shortage.
Watermelon shortage, hi!
Watermelon shortage, hi!
Watermelon shortage, hi! Watermelon shortage, hi! See?
It's okay, I'll leave.
I'll go.
Don't worry, I'll...
I feel like we should come to an executive decision
that we should not do jingles on this show anymore.
Please welcome to the studio the other man in Bree's life.
It's Matchism!
They spent time on a tropical island together.
My other work husband.
Yeah.
They filmed a lot of it as well.
I'm actually quite jealous of you.
Why?
Because you're the other work.
Oh, because I'm the other man.
Yeah, you're the other man.
Yeah, yeah.
You get to spend more time.
We've got a respectful relationship.
We understand.
We've got boundaries when it comes to Brie.
Hey, you're here because you've got a brand new TV show
which starts tonight on TVNZ.
That's right.
Do you want me to tell you a little bit about that?
Yeah, please.
Tell us a bit about it.
Man Enough is the name of it.
Man Enough.
Are you man enough to be open about where you're at mentally?
It is a show on men's mental health.
We talk to a whole lot of people who have struggled mentally.
Depression, anxiety, what have you.
And we also talked to a whole lot of people
who are doing amazing work in the mental health space.
And there are some people doing some fantastic stuff.
And surprisingly, I think I might say, we had a whole lot of fun.
Did you?
Making the show.
That's awesome.
I love that.
Maddie, look, you and I know each other very well.
We have spent a lot of time together.
And I know you're obviously the poster boy now
for this kind of stuff,
which I'm so proud of you for.
And you came out quite a long time ago now
on social media and kind of spoke about
where you were kind of at in your life
and your mental health.
And I just wanted to ask you,
like, how are you travelling
and how are you going on your journey?
Because you've taken a lot of steps now
to put your mental health first.
And how are you all going with that?
Oh, look, thanks for asking, Bree. I've never been happier.
Really? That's so nice to hear.
Yeah, we, my family and I, we left Auckland December, January, depending on how you look
at it. And we moved to central Otago, a little place called Umako. It's a population arguably
250. Five minutes away from some land we own.
We have 85 acres there, and it's just, for me, paradise.
There's animals constantly on your Instagram.
I love it.
Oh, yeah, I love the animals.
So is this a long bow to draw?
Is the key to mental health leaving Auckland?
Well, I don't think it's a long bow at all.
Right.
But it's certainly helped me.
Right, okay, good. Do you think it's a long bow at all. Right. But it certainly helped me. Right. Okay, good.
Do you think it's also about identifying what works best for you
and just realising that sometimes certain situations
aren't the best for your mental health
and you need to make changes and put things in place
to put yourself first?
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
So if you're busy and you're a people pleaser like I was,
I was last on the list.
Big people pleaser.
Big.
You are so good at pleasing the people too.
If you're not high up on your list and, you know,
you put yourself last,
then you kind of can drive yourself into the ground, right?
You fall behind and then it gets put on hold again.
Yeah, you've got to put yourself first.
And for me, actually, it was picking myself a little bit
and figuring out why I behaved that way.
Why did I feel like I had to work really, really hard?
Why was I driving myself into the ground?
What was I trying to prove?
Once you get through that, life can become a whole lot easier.
You're still, nothing's perfect.
No, and you have to work through things every single day.
And I always, because I mean, I have my own mental health struggles still nothing's perfect no and you have to work through things every single day and i always
because i mean i have my own mental health struggles and i tell people it's not something
that you cure or you fix it's about managing something and being able to recognize things
early and being able to manage it better and better and better that's right yeah i'm so proud
i'm so proud of you i just want to say because you and i talked a lot about this kind of stuff
we spend a lot of hours offset
and we talk about these things. And I think that step, that first step you took where
you came out and spoke about it, which is what this is about, this two-part TV series.
That's right.
Is being man enough to speak up. And it's hard for men. It's really hard for men sometimes
because it seemed to be a stigma of weakness and all the rest of it.
But you did that first step. And do you think that was one of the best things you ever did,
was that first initial time you spoke up? Absolutely. Yeah. I'm a changed man because
of it. Yeah, good for you. And I knew all the things. I knew that I needed to run and I knew
that I needed to connect and I knew that I needed to give back and volunteer and do all those things.
Yeah. You can know those things, but still not do them. Absolutely. It's such an important kaupapa,
such an important topic to cover off,
particularly in New Zealand, particularly for Kiwi men.
That's not to discount the struggles
that Kiwi women have as well.
Of course.
But the conversation that you're opening up
with Kiwi blokes in this TV show is really important.
So thank you for doing that.
We hope the show's a raging success.
We know it will be.
We know it will be.
And we love you.
You're welcome back anytime. It's called Man Enough. It's a raging success. We know it will be. We know it will be. Yeah. And we love you. You're welcome back anytime.
It's called Man Enough.
It's a two-part series.
It starts tonight on TVNZ1, 8.30 with Matt Chisholm.
There you go.
Thanks for coming in, man.
Good to see you.
Thank you for allowing me to come back in.
It's so good to see you two, lovely people.
Well, Clint and I agree.
We always love to see your face and your rig to be honest.
Bree and Clint. Oh my god,
I heard she bought all her followers.
She would, she's such a
bitch. It's time
for Brie and Clint's
Instafame game.
Thanks to our show sponsor, Mobile.
Every week we get to play the Instafame game
on behalf of you and give away some free
mobile fuel. It's where we try and guess how many followers famous people have on the ground.
Pointless game with pointless results,
except for two people who are going to win some mobile fuel,
and that's you, Jade.
Hi, Jade.
Hey, hey, hey.
Who are you picking?
Oh, I'm going to have to go with Bree today.
Let's do it, Jade.
You got Bree.
That means Brendan, I'm your man, okay?
Yeah, you got it, brother.
All right.
Thank you.
Producer Ben runs the InstaFame game.
Hello, producer Ben.
Hey, a little bit of a change up today.
You know how we normally do?
How many followers does that person have?
Yeah.
There's been an article that's released this year.
Now the most liked Instagram photos.
Okay.
So I will tell you the celebrity and how many Instagram followers they have,
but I will be asking for the photo and how many likes it had. How many likes on the photo. Okay. So I will tell you the celebrity and how many Instagram followers they have, but I will
be asking for the photo and how many likes it had.
How many likes on the photo.
Okay.
Oh my God, this is going to be hard.
I know.
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
So do you remember that?
The big famous world egg?
World famous egg.
This is an example.
It has 54.9 million likes on Instagram.
Whoa!
The world famous...
Is that still the most liked post on Instagram?
It is still, yes.
Right.
I'm not going to do that one.
So it's an example.
That's what we're going with.
Got it.
Gotcha.
Okay.
First person is Kylie Jenner, who has 198 million.
But the photo that has the most likes is her first photo of her daughter.
Stormy.
Yeah.
Posted back in 2018.
How many likes on that photo?
How many likes?
First daughter.
I remember this kind of broke the internet when she posted it.
So I'll go...
Clint, you've put 10 million likes.
Bree, you've put 49 million.
It has 18.5 million likes.
That's a lot of likes.
A lot of likes.
She could have got a lot of money from Women's Day
if she'd sold them that photo,
but she chose to put it on her own Instagram. Smart.
That's just smart. It's good marketing.
Your second person is Jennifer
Aniston, and she has 35.7
million Instagram followers,
but the photo is, the photo she published
with all her friends' co-stars
last year. The one that had the cocaine
in the foreground.
And they're like, hey.
And Matthew Perry's like, hey Chandler,
yours up.
How many likes did it have?
I'm saying true.
Okay, 10 million for Clint,
12 million for Brie.
It had 16.3 million likes.
Right.
16 million likes.
Imagine trying to keep up
with those notifications.
You just have to go through and reply to everyone.
Yeah.
Your next person is Dwayne The Rock Johnson,
who has 201 million followers,
but the photo is the photo of his wedding
that he posted last year back in August.
How many likes is the photo of Dwayne The Rock Johnson's wedding?
They're a good-looking couple, aren't they?
They are, aren't they?
It's quite a private wedding, I remember.
Like, no one knew about it for ages.
Did you say he's got 201 million followers?
Yeah.
He's got more followers than Kim Kardashian.
Does he?
I don't...
Yeah, no, yeah.
She does.
She has 180, 190, yeah.
Okay, so how many likes for that photo?
Clint, you've put 20 million.
Bree, you've put 19 million.
It has 14 and a half million.
That's a lot of likes.
Point to Brie. 2-1 Brie.
Okay, your next person is Billie Eilish
who has 67 million Instagram followers.
Oh, can I guess what the photo is?
You go on, mate. Is it the photo when she got to meet
Justin Bieber? No, wrong.
It's the photo when she got five
Grammys earlier this year.
So this very popular photo.
How many likes does it have?
How many followers has she got?
She's got 67 million.
For how many likes on that photo, Clint, you've put 11 million.
Bree, you've put 9 million.
It has 13.8 million.
That's a point to Clint.
Yeah, nice.
We're off to tie-break again, guys. We're off to tie-break again, guys.
We're off to tie-break, everybody.
Okay.
Your last photo is for Queen B, Beyonce.
Okay.
She has 155 million,
and the photo is when she announced she was pregnant back in 2017.
Yes, yes.
How many likes did that get?
Now, this is when she was pregnant with the twins, isn't it?
Okay.
It was a great photo. It was a great photo.
Yeah. A while ago though. She was wearing
the veil over her head. Yeah.
How many
likes though? I'm going big. Okay.
I'm going big. 20 million. Clint's put
20 million.
Bree's put 12 million.
She got 11.1 million. Oh!
So close! I've got it! We11.1 million. Oh, so close.
I've got it.
We did it, Jade.
Oh, yes.
You do it.
You do it.
Nice work, Jade.
The mobile fuel coming your way.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Sometimes in the heat of the moment,
when you get a bit overconfident, you can make a bet that you don't really plan on standing behind.
Is that fair to say?
Yeah, people make bets all the time and they throw things out there and, you know, it happens.
This is what has happened to the AM show's Duncan Garner.
Oh, what has he said?
And I, look, before we roast Garner for this, I get it.
As someone who has to go on air.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper on him first before we roast him.
Yeah, right. As someone who has to go on air and Sprinkle some salt and pepper on him first before we roast him. Yeah, right.
As someone who has to go on air and talk rubbish all day, every day,
sometimes stuff just comes out, okay?
Yeah, sometimes you just say stuff in the heat of the moment.
It's like a quantity over quality issue.
And the thing is, is that everyone does that.
We're just on radio slash he's on TV.
He's on TV.
And what happens with that is it's all banked.
It's all on demand. You have to bank it up. Yeah, and people can And what happens with that is it's all banked.
It's all on demand.
You have to bank it up.
Yeah, and people can go and get the clip where it's much harder to do that with Ray.
Oh, no, we've got podcasts.
Anyway, ignore that bit.
He made a call to do with the election before the election went down.
And I'm just going to play you verbatim what Duncan Garner said. This is a clip from before the election this year.
Sure, it looks like a one-horse race right now,
but I also know that history shows things really do tighten up
closer to the election.
They usually always do.
In fact, I'm so confident that Labour won't poll this high on the night
or even high enough to govern alone,
that if I'm wrong and if either happens,
I promise to become a vegan for a year only.
And what happened?
Both happened.
Labour polled that high on the night and is now able to govern alone.
Can you imagine him sitting at home?
He's probably having a few venos.
Probably having a steak.
And his butt cheeks are just getting tighter and tighter.
He's like, oh no, I've called this one off.
It'd be like the Last Supper.
He'd be putting a whole thing of Irvine sausage rolls in the oven going,
I've got to get this stuff in me.
He's just eating a salami
like it's a sausage.
You know it.
To his credit, he has
said he's going to do it.
He's becoming a vegan for a year.
Otherwise what would happen is
because he does a news show, he'd have people
come on there and he'd go to
them, well you said you
weren't going to increase taxes for 12 months. And they'll go, well you said you were going to go vegan. And he'd go to them, well, you said you weren't going to increase taxes
for 12 months.
And they'll go, well, you said you were going to go vegan.
And he'll go, touche.
It's the same.
You got me there.
So good on him.
He is the victim of a stupid bet and he's owning it.
It's his own stupid bet though too, isn't it?
And this is the bet.
It wasn't like he turned to someone else on the show
and said, if I'm wrong, you have to go vegan.
Yeah, exactly.
Or if I'm right, you go vegan.
Or if I'm right, you give me $100.
There was nothing in it for him.
No payoff.
If he wants a good vegan shepherd's pie recipe, I've got one.
Oh, your ex-partners.
Yeah, Duncan Garnett.
Yeah, let me know if you need it.
You've also got some other stuff.
Yeah, I've got a few recipes.
I wonder if he wants an iPhone 6.
Have you ever made a stupid bet?
Of course.
I've worked in radio for 10 years.
Yeah, right.
I've worked with producer Ben long enough.
Ben, have I ever made a stupid bet before?
Oh, you've bet a lot on rugby and stuff,
but I don't think it's that stupid.
It's stupid.
He always bets on the Chiefs.
Oh, that's right.
I bet 100 bucks on the Chiefs this year, didn't I?
Yeah.
That's all right.
Who won? Who won? Crusaders. Yeah, of course. The Chiefs didn't get a single win. I bet $100 on the Chiefs this year, didn't I? Yeah. That's all right. Who won?
Who won?
Crusaders.
Yeah, of course.
The Chiefs didn't get a single win.
No, they didn't win a game.
But at least they didn't say I would change my whole diet for a year.
That was just money, okay?
I don't think you've done anything worse.
That's just money.
I haven't been stupid this year because I didn't bet on the Wallabies.
Yeah, see?
Yeah, so it's all good.
Although, there's good odds on the Wallabies now.
Is there?
I bet there is after last weekend.
Yeah, they're paying a lot of money.
Yeah, I bet.
Oh, $800 a day.
We want to know this afternoon, did you make a stupid bet?
Doesn't matter if you followed through with it or not.
I mean, great if you did and good on you if you did.
Yeah, good on you if you did.
Remember that guy that called up the show and he bet his motorbike?
Yes.
And he followed through and he gave his friend the motorbike?
Yes.
And then he said double or nothing for the house.
No, the car.
The car.
Let's not go too far.
For the car, he doubled or nothing and he lost again.
So the friend got his car as well.
Yeah.
If it was a house, we would be guiding him towards gambling services anonymous.
Oh, 800 dials at M.
What's the stupid bet you made?
That's what we want to know this afternoon.
Or you can text it to us on 9696 as well.
Someone who could do with cheering up at the moment is
Duncan Garner from the News
who before the election said this, live
on TV. Sure, it looks like a
one horse race right now, but I also know that
history shows things really do tighten up closer
to the election. They usually always do.
In fact, I'm so confident that Labour won't poll this high
on the night or even high enough to govern
alone, that if I'm wrong and if either
happens, I promise to become
a vegan for a year only.
Why didn't you say something easy like
I'll shave every hair on my body and
donate $10,000 to charity.
And then you can move on after, you know, you
do it straight away. But a year of your
life. A year of your life going vegan. And there'll
be people who are vegan now going, it's not that big a deal.
I feel like it is that big a deal for
someone like Duncan Garner.
Yes.
A red meat eating, meat and three veg bloke.
Who's never thought about going vegan before.
You know, like it's going to be a big shock to him.
I've been vegan for a little bit before.
Yeah.
And it is quite a shock to the system.
Especially going cold turkey.
Absolutely.
You know?
I really want to follow him around to make sure he doesn't eat
meat. It's going to be fascinating to watch. Anyway,
we want to know if you made a dumb bet this
afternoon. And did you have to follow
through on it? Dan's called up. Hi, Dan.
G'day, Dan. What was
the dumb bet that you made?
So I'm a flexi-pescaterian,
which means basically
I'm a vegetarian 99% of the time
and I eat KFC
in the weekends.
I'm a flexi pescatarian
then too.
Yeah,
there's a lot of us out there.
And so I made a bet
saying that I wouldn't
have to eat vegetables
for a month
but I could do that easily
so I ate pasta
or cheese pasta.
Wait, wait, wait.
What else would you eat then?
You would eat no veggies
for a month.
No veggies.
I thought I could do it.
What are you going to eat then?
A bit of cheese pasta, a bit of, I think it was curry.
Yeah, right.
I thought I could do it.
Yeah.
I was a few beers deep and then I got a weekend of cheese pasta
and then had eight beers and ate a chippy.
Oh, no, potato chips made of potato, which is a vegetable.
See, that's the downfall of any type of, you know, eating thing
is when you have drinks.
Yeah, everything's out the window.
Yeah, the eating monster comes out and you're like,
I want a kebab.
Yeah, no one holds you to your eating plan after you've had a few beers too.
They're just happy that you're eating something.
Thanks, Dan. That's good. Rachel's here happy that you're eating something. Thanks, Dan.
That's good.
Rachel's here.
Hey, Rach.
G'day, Rach.
Hi.
Hi, how's it going?
Good.
Did you make a dumb bet?
Yeah, I had a few too many bevies one night with a couple of my girlfriends,
and I made a bet that I'd pierce my tongue if I failed it,
and I woke up the next day and apparently I lost it.
Oh, no.
I got my tongue pierced.
The issue was I don't actually remember the bit.
Wait, wait.
Even the next day.
Wait, did you wake up with your tongue pierced?
No, no, no.
She got it done the next day.
The next day when I was sober.
You followed up.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've got to follow through.
That's how I got my first tattoo, Rachel.
That's no joke.
Similar story.
My first tattoo is no good either, so.
Wow.
There's a common thread here in all of this as well,
and it is liquid.
Well, we should ask Duncan Garner if he'd had a few drinks
before he made the bet.
Amber, finally, dumb bet that you made.
What was it?
Oh, hiya.
I made a bet with my boyfriend that I could go a week
without him asking to do anything for me, and I lost,
and now my children don't get middle names.
Wait.
But the bet was that your children don't get middle names.
Yeah, so now my future children don't get middle names
because he doesn't have a middle name and I do
and I'm very attached to mine.
So I was like, no, I can do that easily.
You made a bet about your future children's middle names.
Yeah.
Can you see?
Can you see, I mean, to be honest,
you don't need a middle name really, do you?
No. I mean, when
have you really needed a middle name?
Only when you're making a Hotmail
or Gmail account.
Other than that, you know.
Can you see how this bet was lose-lose for you
though, Amber? If you
won the bet,
he would have gone a week with you not having
asked him for anything. And if you lost the bet, he would have gone a week with you not having asked him for anything. And if
you lost the bet, he gets something stupid like
removing the middle names of your future children.
We both know, as females, it's the pride
thing if you won. Yeah, exactly.
I thought I could do it, and I couldn't.
So, yeah, no, they won't have middle names.
Question! What was the thing that you
asked him to do?
I don't even remember.
I can't even remember.
Oh, wow. Okay. You won. Congratulations. asked him to do? I don't even remember. I can't even remember.
Oh, wow. Okay. You won.
Congratulations.
It makes the name selection process for those kids a lot easier, though. Imagine when the kids come
to you, Amber, and they're like, why don't we have middle names?
You're like, it's a long story.
Sit down. I've got time.
Bree and Clint.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
This is where we take three people's birthdays,
we figure out what was number one on each of their 16ths,

Um, who's going to win it?

It's Sean Paul in Get Busy.
Sean Paul has been doing
a lot recently.
He's had a great,
yeah.
You don't realise
how much music
he's still
in in the months.
Yeah.
What's he been doing
recently?
He's had quite a lot.
Little mix songs.
That's right, yeah.
Fifth Harmony songs.
He's been all over it.
He's been all over it,
yeah.
He's so distinctive,
you know.
I always, do you know? I always...
Do you think...
I'd really like to see Sean Paul do a song with Pitbull.
Yeah.
That'd be a good time.
Hey, Bri and I were talking about this,
and we're not sure how many people out there
listening to the Bri and Clint show
currently work as babysitters.
There's a chance quite a lot.
Are you a part of a club?
Yeah, are you part of a babysitter's club?
There has been a list compiled of exactly how much you should pay babysitters in New Zealand,
depending on the city in which you are hiring that babysitter.
What's the standards?
There'd be a lot of people out there going, oh no, I hope my babysitter's not listening to this.
Exactly right. Or there might be people out there going, oh no I hope my babysitter's not listening to this Exactly right
Or there might be people out there going, oh I hope my babysitter's listening to this
Yeah, because if you're paying your babysitter a good amount
Yeah, they're going to be like, you know, keep them happy
Yeah, what we have is a range of different babysitters from around the country
Right
On hold on 800-DALS-ZM
I will give this out first
The most expensive place to hire a babysitter
Auckland
No, Queenstown
Is it?
Yeah
Oh, because everyone holidays there Maybe Is that why? Most expensive place to hire a babysitter? Auckland. No, Queenstown. Is it? Yeah.
Oh, because everyone holidays there.
Maybe.
Is that why?
You can charge extra.
I don't know.
Queenstown's very bougie, though.
It is bougie, yeah. The cheapest place to be a babysitter?
Invercargill.
Okay.
Wait, as in?
That's where you need to pay your babysitter the least.
Right, gotcha, gotcha.
Just wanted to make sure.
The lowest paid babysitters in New Zealand.
Are in Invercargill. are in Invercargill.
Are in Invercargill.
I don't even know why.
I don't know why.
Let's get some babysitters on and see what they're getting paid.
We'll start in Christchurch.
Hi, Holly.
Hi, Holly.
Hello.
How old are you?
I'm 19.
Okay, and you're a babysitter?
Yeah, I'm like a babysitter
for three different families.
Whoa!
Okay.
How many kids?
All up?
There's one, well, two or three, and then one with just one.
Right.
Okay, right.
Okay, how much do you get paid per hour as a babysitter in Christchurch?
And I'll tell you if you're being fairly paid.
Okay, so it's different for the families.
So for this one, it's 18.
For the one kid, it's 18?
Yeah.
Okay.
And then for the second one, they're from another country,
so I didn't really want to be too honest about it.
So I just said, she said 15, and that was cool.
Oh, and how many kids do they have?
Two and then a baby.
Oh, you're getting ripped off.
Yeah, you are getting ripped off.
But you're doing a nice thing, though.
I'll tell you that the one-child family is paying you correctly.
The minimum price you should pay a babysitter in Christchurch, $17.23 per hour.
Okay.
So maybe your job's even out.
She needs to talk to the second family.
Let's go to Olivia.
Hi, Olivia.
Hi, Liv.
Hi.
You're a babysitter?
Yeah, I'm a babysitter. For one family or multiple? For a few, yeah. For, Olivia. Hi, Liv. Hi. You're a babysitter? Yeah, I'm a babysitter.
For one family or multiple?
For a few, yeah.
For a few.
And where do you babysit?
Well, I babysit in Auckland.
Okay.
Weirdly, Auckland's not at the top of the list for how much you should get paid.
How much do you charge per hour to babysit?
Well, I babysit for my mum's boss and I get $17.50.
Okay.
You're getting underpaid.
Oh, no.
The minimum price to pay a baby.
Yeah, sorry, mate.
The minimum price to pay a babysitter in Auckland is $17.95.
And get this, it's an extra 50 cents per extra kid.
Is it?
So that's $17.95 for one kid and then an extra 50 cents an hour
for every additional kid that they whack on top of that.
How many kids?
Three.
Oh, raw deal.
You should be getting up around.
And a dog.
And a dog.
If you get, you're just going to sound like I'm lying, you get an extra 50 cents for looking after animals as well.
Do you?
Yes, per hour and an extra 50 cents if they expect you to do housework as well, like empty the dishwasher.
I have to make dinner.
Oh, Liv, you're getting ripped off.
You're getting ripped.
What's his number?
We'll call him.
Yeah, yeah.
What's their number?
We'll call him up.
Well, yeah, stay there.
We'll do some more math for you.
We'll take this to the Employment Tribunal.
Let's go to Xanthia.
Hi, Xanthia.
Hi, Xanthia.
Oh, how are you guys?
Good, how are you?
You're a babysitter?
Yes.
Just it's kind of like a casual thing.
It's not my staple income, but because it's fun.
And one of my friends is a professional nanny and pretty much she trained, you know, in her sort of late teens.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Whereabouts?
Whereabouts are you a babysitter?
I'm in Wellington. Okay.
And I do babysitting for film families.
Film families.
Oh, so they've got money.
Oh, that's interesting.
Oh, right.
I see.
How many kids?
So sometimes I look after one little boy and sometimes I look after another client's little boy.
Yep.
And what are you charging per hour?
And sometimes I look after three of them.
They actually just, depending on how they rock on home,
they just pay me some cash.
I don't even look at it.
And then when I get home, I'm usually like,
oh, that was a pretty good night.
Oh, they just give you whatever cash is left in their pockets
after they get home from the bars.
Well, I can tell you, as a Wellington babysitter,
you should be charging no less than $17.69.
There you go.
Per hour.
If you were my babysitter, Xanthia,
and I gave you what I had on my way home from a night out,
it would just be a kebab and a...
Kebab wrapper and...
A couple of bucks.
And some phone numbers.
We did have a dad on the phone from Tauranga
who wanted to know the price.
He hung up.
So I don't know if he was intimidated by these rates or not.
Bree, I've got space news.
News.
Space weed.
About outer space. No, not space weed. I heard they were growing weed. About outer space.
No, not space weed.
I heard they were growing weed on the moon now.
Did you hear that?
Who did you hear that from?
I don't remember.
A reliable source.
There was an astronaut came to me and said,
we're growing weed on the moon.
He said, you want some of the good moon stuff?
This stuff is out of this world.
No, an announcement has come out from NASA today
saying they are putting cell phone coverage on the moon.
NASA have announced that by 2022,
they will have cell towers installed on the moon
that will give the moon 4G coverage.
Why? No one lives there.
Ah, see, Bree, that's where you will be wrong.
NASA plans on
colonising the moon
with long term
human living type
conditions because they want to use
the moon as a launching pad to get to Mars.
So they need to set up
like a base. And we all know
that no one in 2020 can survive
without data,
so they're putting up cell phone coverage.
That is buzzy as.
Yeah.
How long does it take to get to the moon?
Don't know.
Good question.
Should I Google it?
Yeah.
My question is, if they're waiting until 2022,
why is the moon not getting 5G?
Why are they only getting 4G?
Like, aren't we already moving on to 5G?
I agree, yeah.
By the time, you know. Is it because they don't want to get COVID on the moon?
Yeah, right.
I've got the answer.
Yeah, how long does it take to get to the moon?
It says it takes about, it takes a spacecraft about three days to reach the moon.
Oh, yeah.
During that time, a spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles or 386,000 kilometres.
Exciting.
NASA have contracted iconic phone company Nokia to install the...
Is that who's doing it?
Holy hell, that's ear piercing.
Yeah, wow, ouch.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah, they're going to whack up the towers,
which is good because it means that the astronauts will be able to play Snake on the Moon. Yeah, which is, I mean, what about that. Yeah, they're going to whack up the towers, which is good because it means that the astronauts
will be able to play Snake on the moon.
Yeah, which is, I mean, what you want.
Once they get 4G up there, what else can they do?
What can the astronauts do?
Netflix?
They'll be able to Netflix over 4G?
Yes.
Oh, yeah, they'll be able to Netflix on the moon.
Instagram?
Get some great Instagram photos on the moon.
Imagine what you'd post and just be all, like, rock. Yeah, and pictures of Earth. Yeah. Like, we get it, you're on the moon. Imagine what you'd post and just be all like rock.
Yeah, and pictures of Earth.
Yeah.
We get it, you're on the moon.
So when someone you know
goes to Mexico,
we're like, we get it,
you're in Mexico.
No, we get it.
Stop posting about it.
Yeah.
Space Tinder.
Tinder on the moon.
Can you imagine?
Set their radius to Earth.
I don't know.
And Uber Eats.
No, I don't think
they have that on the moon.
Well, they'll be able to find out once they have cell coverage,
won't they?
Yeah, true.
Can you imagine what the fee would be to get Uber Eats to the moon?
Anyway, this is Space News.
Bree and Clint.
Just wanted to give a little warning here for anyone listening.
This is going to be gross.
And I did say that.
This is even too much for me.
But this is something that's gross. And I did say that. This is even too much for me. But this is something that's real.
It's happened.
A woman on Reddit has shared her disgust about it.
And I feel like this is where you don't want to find these things out
in a relationship too late.
Right, okay.
That's what I think this is what it comes down to.
So it's something her partner's doing.
Something her boyfriend's doing, yes.
Or should I say not doing.
Okay.
She, this week, said that she goes on Reddit quite often
and she likes to get lost in the threads
and sometimes she reads them out to her boyfriend
and they have a laugh about them together.
Yep.
Anyway, same thing happened this week
where she found something on Reddit
about a man who didn't like to wipe.
Didn't like to...
Oh!
Just didn't wipe at all.
After...
After anything.
Did he jump in the shower?
No.
Because I've heard of that.
No.
I've heard of guys who do their thing in the morning
and then jump in the shower.
Quite common, yeah.
Is it common?
I think so. I think it's common for the lads. That's gross to me of that. No. I've heard of guys who do their thing in the morning and then jump in the shower. Quite common, yeah. Is it common? I think so.
I think it's common for the lads.
That's gross to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, this is just a, it's a nothing.
Oh.
So middle of the day while you're at work, a nothing.
It's a nothing.
Oh.
Anyway, so she shared.
Is it even doable?
Shared this with her boyfriend and her boyfriend didn't laugh, didn't make any remarks and just pretty much said, yeah.
That's me.
That's me as well.
Oh, imagine finding out that about the person
that you've been sharing a bed with.
Oh, it's game over.
Sorry, I feel sick.
Yeah, I feel sick too.
You want to know what the reason is?
And I did give you a warning if you're not into this stuff.
Is the warning, is the reason worse than the action oh i don't think so but i just don't
think it's plausible okay i think it's ridiculous okay i'm giving this guy one shot apparently the
woman explained uh that her boyfriend told her that his high-fibre diet means that it is completely unnecessary for him to wipe.
Oh, he's a phantom.
Yeah, well, that's what he's claiming.
Even if you are, you owe your friends and loved ones one security wipe.
You owe them...
How can you not have a security wipe?
Because what if today's the day that your high-fiber diet has let you down?
Are you positive that your high-fiber diet is 100% strike rate?
Like, are you positive about it?
Like, you've got to be certain.
Grim, grim, grim.
And I don't say this lightly, but I hope she left him.
On that day, I hope she packed up her shit and left.
To be honest yeah
I mean it would push you to the end
