One, two, one, two. Oh, I can see we're recording. Kia ora everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
The reason I say I can see we're recording is because I'm live from my house right now.
I'm in the sleeper and Bree's live in the studio eating Doritos.
Always. Doritos for life.
Doritos for life. What's the best Doritos flavour?
I mean, I've always been a cheese supreme gal, but I like nearly all the flavours.
People like that lime one, eh?
Chilli and lime, cool lime.
You mean Mountain Dew?
No, no, those radioactive looking.
No, you're talking about Thai sweet chilli.
Nah, I'm sure there's a lime one that I'm talking about.
Ben bought the Mountain Dew ones for the show once.
I think he bought them ironically.
Yeah, I did, but they weren't bad.
They had some lime vibes.
There is a lime one.
There is absolutely a lime one.
It's like a light lime.
Cool Ranch, Americans go crazy for.
I love Cool Ranch.
Ranch, I got it.
Ranch.
Cool Ranch.
Doritos lime.
Oh, there's a lime flavour.
Anyway.
I love anything ranch.
Oh, I get ranch at Subway.
I wonder what the New Zealand equivalent of ranch is
Because it's not a thing here
It's only a thing at Subway
It's an American thing
Yeah and they have ranch on everything
Yeah you can get ranch dipping sauce
At like every place you go
And I became obsessed with it
Yeah it's good
Americans have good dipping sauces
Yeah they do the blue cheese sauce with buffalo wings.
Oh, give it to me.
Yeah.
Americans do a lot of things really well.
I love, God, I love buffalo wings.
Food.
Americans clocked food.
Buffalo wings.
They clocked food so hard, they're like, we're going to eat all of it.
I love it.
This is our thing now.
I'm broadcasting out of the sleep out
Or the shed at the back of my house
Which I never intended to become a man cave
But inadvertently it's just become a man cave
Because it's filled up with all my stuff
And it's like
This is the most fun place in the house for me
Everything that I enjoy is out here
That's because all of your shit got put out there
That's exactly right
Literally all the stuff that Lucy, your wife, didn't want in the house
She goes, put it in the sleeper
And I don't know if that was her intention
No, but give it time
You know?
Give it time
Yeah, I've got DJ turntables out here
I've got records
I've got a beer fridge
I don't know why I don't spend more time out here
Oh that's right because I've got a kid and a job and responsibilities
But one day
No time
One day I'm staying out here for good
Wait guys
For a second
Can you guys wait, if you listen real carefully
Listen
Oh my goodness
Great day to be broadcasting From 30 kilometres away from you It's a good day to be broadcasting
From 30 kilometres away from you
It's a good day to not be here Clint
It's a great day to not be here
Poor Ben
Poor Ben
Nah he's used to it
He dates pretty much
The Kiwi version of me
She doesn't fart
Bullshit
She doesn't fart
Yeah see
She does fart
I haven't farted
In front of you guys In ages, so I was due for one.
Yeah.
Now, say thank you for not doing any farts recently.
Nah.
I'll fart again.
Thanks.
Go for it.
Like I said, you couldn't.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Thank you so much.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
I'll say thanks.
I'll say thanks for Ben.
Thanks, mate.
Thanks.
Yeah, good.
Be a good friend.
I got you, Ben.
All right, let's kick this thing in the guts
and rip on through to the other side.
Here's the podcast.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m.
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 five, 4, 3, 2, 1.
I'm 2 Brie, can you hear me? Hello?
Sorry, we forgot to turn the button on again.
Are we on?
Yeah, we're on now.
Hello everybody.
I'm in, Clint from quarantine.
Welcome to the show. You know what, that button issue, not my fault today
Because I'm not even there
Ben took ownership yesterday
Are you taking ownership today Ben?
No, Clint's at home so it's his fault
Fair enough
Yeah I'm doing a sick day broadcast from home
And Bree's in the studio but we're on
The boys are on, the girls are on
Yes and it's the second last day
Until the long weekend,
so it's very exciting.
We've nearly made it.
Correct.
And there's a big show today, actually.
You've got heaps of stuff.
Oh, no.
$500.
I know what you're worried about.
$500 up for grabs.
Worth of mobile fuel, and what's the plot if you can beat Bree?
She's at the halfway point of her goal of getting the jackpot to $1,000.
I reckon it's a great time to take it.
$500 is a nice round number.
Are you sure we weren't up to $550?
No, it was $450 last week.
Okay, just checking.
Just before 5 o'clock.
If you know more about movies than Brie, you can take the $500.
And the COVID rain check is back at 5 o'clock as well.
If COVID has cost you something recently, we can hook you up.
Thanks for saving my bake.
You just need to tell us what it is at ZM Online.
Before that, though, up next, there's a video going viral
of a man who has been chased by a very big cat.
And when I say a very big cat, I'm talking about a cougar.
A cougar.
And he's filmed it.
The cat version or the human version?
Both. The cougar. And he's filmed it. The cat version or the human version? Both.
The audio is terrifying. Hold on, I think we've got some
audio just here. Let's tune in for that.
Damn, that sounds like a
house cat crossed with a python
somehow. I'm excited to hear this audio.
We're gonna um talk
about a cougar chase after harry styles this is watermelon sugar on zm brian clint
brian clint what chased you uh that's the question i'm asking this afternoon
what bloody chased you because there's a terrifying like terrifying video doing the
rounds on social media and it's of a hiker by the name
of kyle burges who's filmed himself well it's actually not himself but he's filmed the encounter
uh where he saw a little baby cute uh cougar cub and he was like oh cute you know he's hiking this
amazing scenic track and he's like look look at that baby cougar cub.
The aggressive mother of the cub has come around the corner and take a listen at the video of the mum putting it up Kyle Burgess.
No.
No.
Go away.
Go away.
Please go away.
Go away.
I'm not coming back down.
Come on, dude.
I don't feel like dying today.
Holy s***.
No, go away.
Nope.
I've seen that video.
It is terrifying.
Because every time he steps back, the cougar advances and is like, and like does these massive swipes.
And it literally terrifies me.
And any male Kyle's age who has been pounced on by a cougar before
knows they don't back down.
Yeah, well, my auntie's a cougar and I've had to do that a few times
at Christmas time.
I'm like, Julie, Julie, stay back.
Never turn your back on them.
She's had a few venos and I'm like, hey, hey, put it down.
And unlike a family cougar at Christmas,
these ones can't be satiated by a glass of Lindau.
You know, you can't just give them a drink and calm them down.
This one wants more.
It wants blood.
Interestingly, I saw this video just after watching the David Attenborough documentary
where he talks about the wild places and how we're lacking a lot of wild places.
Kyle was in a wild place.
He was in the cougars' territory.
Yeah.
Well, her baby was there.
Of course she's going to be territorial of her surroundings.
She's looking after her kids.
I'm not saying Kyle deserves to get mauled by a tiger, a cougar,
but he was in the place where it's going to happen if it's going to happen.
He was in cougar territory.
Can you explain to me then why my 11-week-old puppy does the same thing?
Because she's in my house.
You're in my house now.
You need to dominate that cougar.
You need to dominate that puppy the way cougar dominated Kyle.
Seriously, she's so tiny, but I can't.
She rules the roost.
I'm telling you.
It's terrifying.
Maybe you need to, I don't know, get bigger shoes. I don't know. I can't. She rules the roost. I'm telling you. Maybe you need to, yeah,
maybe you need to,
I don't know,
get bigger shoes.
I don't know.
I can't help you there.
Have you ever been chased by anything?
Like that in the wild?
I've been,
yeah,
I've been chased by a sheep before.
Oh,
terrifying.
Yeah.
Well,
you say that,
but I don't know how to handle one.
And when it's coming towards you,
I'm not a sheep guy.
You know what I mean?
You must have been so scared of the fluffy's coming towards you i'm not a sheep guy you know you must
have been so scared of the fluffy cloud coming towards you excuse me was it a big sheep it was
a girthy full-sized sheep and i like kyle i was in the sheep's territory you're lucky to be alive
mate all right steve erwin what have you been chased by a brown uh king snake a king brown
snake i've been chased by that. Yeah, cool.
Just make up snakes again.
So New Zealanders don't know any snakes, so you just make one up.
A king brown is probably one of the most venomous snakes in the whole world.
A king brown body boy.
A king brown snake.
I've been chased by a bull called Roachie.
It was our bull.
Terrifying.
I managed to get up onto the ute and he rammed the whole ute.
It was terrifying. Yeah, right. I've been chased by a ram. All and he rammed the whole ute. It was terrifying.
Yeah, right.
I've been chased by a ram.
All right, you win.
That's fine.
A kangaroo.
I've been chased by a kangaroo, one of those big wallaroos.
I've been chased by a police officer.
Oh, yeah?
That's pretty scary.
I'm Australian and I grew up on a farm.
I've been chased by it all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You definitely won.
I want to know from people, what have you been chased by?
I feel like, yeah, and you can go outside the box.
It can be a police officer.
It can be someone.
It can be, I don't know.
I don't know.
What other things could you be chased by?
There's lots of things.
The IRD.
Yeah, the tax man.
The tax man.
The tax man could be chasing you.
Yeah.
0800 dial ZM.
What chased you?
Yeah.
You can text us on 9696.
Maybe you're on the run right now.
True, that'd be an exciting call.
Maybe a wild pig is chasing you right now.
That one from Dunedin.
Yeah, the one in Dunedin.
Call us.
Give us a call, yeah.
We'll get you on after Calvin Harris and Sam Smith.
This is Promises on ZN.
Brian Clint.
Brian Clint.
There's a guy over in Utah who's uploaded a video of himself being chased by a cougar.
No.
No.
Go away.
Go away.
Please go away.
Go away.
I'm not coming back down.
Come on, dude. I don't feel like dying today. Holy s***. No please go away Go away I'm not coming back down Come on, dude
I don't feel like dying today
Holy s***
No, go away
No
Do we know if he survived?
I think that was the audio of me running from our family cat at home
Sometimes
The video just ends
He's fine, he's okay
The cougar's lurching towards him.
Is it like one of those TikToks where he goes,
like for part two to know if I survived?
Well, I'm assuming because he uploaded it, he's okay.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, well, all right.
That's pretty good logic from you.
I think what he was doing in the video,
he was like obviously staying upright and not turning his back on the cougar
or else he probably wouldn't be with us today.
Yeah, right.
That's cougar defense 101.
Yeah.
You know it's true.
I've encountered a lot of cougars.
But we've asked you this afternoon on 0800 dials at M,
what have you been chased by?
Shem's called up.
G'day, Shem.
G'day, Brian Clinton.
How are you?
Good, Shem.
What chased you?
I was chased when I was six years old.
I was chased by an alpaca.
Whoa.
Not quite a cougar.
Alpacas can be pretty scary.
Did it spit on you?
It did, yeah.
So I thought it would be a good idea.
My grandparents had always said,
don't stamp your feet at them and try and intimidate them.
But being a six-year-old kid, I thought I'd try that out.
And, yep, that chased me.
They're very cute-looking, I thought I'd try that out. And, yep, that chased me.
They're very cute-looking, but they also can be very aggressive.
I've been spat on one by an alpaca before too, and it's not pleasant.
Also, the size difference between a six-year-old and an alpaca would be drastic.
Shem, that would be like you facing a dinosaur.
I was terrified.
Yeah, I bet.
Do you ever go near alpacas now?
No. An emperor's new groove, I bet. Do you ever go near alpacas now? No.
Emperor's New Groove, not the movie for you, mate.
You know what they say, you've got to get back on the alpaca.
Thanks, Shem. Let's go Georgia. Hey, Georgia.
Actually, Jaden.
We've got Jaden first. Hello, mate.
Yeah, g'day. What chased you,
Jaden? Oh, I've had
a few wild pigs chase me.
I was out hunting with a few mates, and yeah, the dogs had one and bailed up.
Oh, nuts.
And yeah, no, they let it go as we got there, and I legged it.
I was gone.
I was out of there.
Wild pigs, correct me if I'm wrong, Jaden, I've seen a few of them,
are one of the most terrifying and aggressive animals ever.
Yeah, they can be pretty feral.
Oh, yeah.
They can turn on you pretty quick.
And when they get a hold of some of the pigging dogs,
look out because, I mean, I know who's going to win.
Yeah, yeah, I just had three dogs in the vet a few months ago
and, yeah, no, it wasn't good.
Remember we said Ben to Danita in that time to cover the wild pig
that was loose in the northern suburbs?
Yeah, I remember that.
Did you get injured
in that producer bin?
Nah, not a scratch on me,
believe it or not.
Yeah, you were quick.
Definitely real.
I was definitely there.
We've seen him run
the 100 metres before, Clint.
Thanks, Jaden.
Let's get Georgia on.
Hey, Georgia.
Hi, Georgia.
Hi, guys.
How are you doing?
Oh, you're very...
Hold on.
Can we hear you?
Oh, can you hear me now?
Yeah, we've got you now.
Georgia, what chased you?
I had an elephant chase
me. Okay, you win.
Whoa!
I grew up in South Africa, and
we were in Kruger National Park, and my
cousin had just gotten her license,
and she was driving my family
and I around, and
we had an elephant who was on
musk, so they're super temperamental when that
happens, so it's like on heat for a male elephant.
Okay.
And he got super rowdy and decided to charge our car,
and we had to chuck it in reverse.
Well, my cousin did.
She was so tiny in the car.
Like Jurassic Park.
We were in Kruger National Park.
Yeah, I know, but it's like that scene in Jurassic Park
when they're in the car and they chuck it in reverse
and the T-Rex is trying to bite them.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It was like that, but we had to reverse for a couple hundred metres
because he just kept charging us and then he eventually, like, ran off.
But, oh, it was scary.
Did he get tired, Georgia?
He didn't.
I think he just got, like, frustrated that he couldn't get to us.
Yeah, right.
That's when you need Jason Statham, eh, to do that thing where they reverse and then
they do the handbrake spin and they drive off in the right direction.
Yeah, not the easiest thing to do in real life, I've heard.
All right, yeah, Georgia Woods chased by an elephant.
Good stuff.
South Africa, growing up in South Africa sounds wild.
Every now and then you hear those stories and you go, that's right, South Africa is
a wild country to grow up in. Yeah, can you
imagine even just going to school
what you could encounter
potentially? Yeah, amazing.
Alright, thanks guys.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest
live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Dean, news out of the
Carol Baskin camp
about her sexuality.
I just did not see this coming.
I feel like this story is just the one that just keeps on getting.
Carole Baskin has come out confessing that she's bisexual
and she was married to a woman,
but it was a non-sexual, non-physical relationship.
They were married and in love, but didn't touch each other,
if that's how you want to break it out.
This Tiger King phenomenon, it just never ends.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You must have to be into some different sexual things to own a tiger farm.
I didn't realize.
Oh, my God.
You're right.
You're right.
That sentence sounds weird out of context, but having watched Tiger King,
there was definitely a sexual element to owning the Tiger Park, wasn't there?
Like it wasn't all for tourism.
No.
Carol Baskin seems like she's willing to share every detail
about her life with the media,
except the one detail we want to know,
and that's where the body of her ex-husband is.
Yeah, well.
Yes, well.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
That's the latest.
Live out of Los Angeles with Deepak Garthi.
Thanks to Two Degrees Broadband.

Bree and Clint.
I know a lot of people say, Clint,
that we don't do enough AFL news on this show. Who's saying that? A lot of people say, Clint, that we don't do enough AFL news on this show.
Who's saying that?
A lot of people.
Everyone, when I see them out, Patricia Benn says it to me all the time.
Don't you, mate?
You love a bit of AFL.
Does he know what AFL is?
Soccer.
Yeah, soccer, pretty much.
AFL, Australian Rules Football.
Anyway, there's a story about one of the players,
and he's actually the best player of this season
Because he's won like the MVP of the whole season
His name's Lockie Neal
And he picked up the Brownlow medal on Sunday night
And yeah, so pretty exciting for him
I think it's the first time he's ever won
And his wife Jules was there with him
And it's always a big deal, like on the red carpet,
about what the wives are wearing and all that big, you know, hoopla.
The wags.
The wags.
Anyway, they did this big story on them because, obviously,
he was the man of the night.
And they were talking to him about how him and Jules met.
And he was saying that he was interested in her when he was 18 and he tried
to you know pretty much pick her up when he was 18 and made a pass at her or whatever and she was
like absolutely not. Yuck. He then chased her for two and a half years until he got a first date.
Wow that's persistence that's movie rom-com level
persistence. He said that he
knew she was the one and he
was never going to give up until
she told him to give up, which she never did
but he did the work and
eventually she came around
and she was like, yeah, I just wanted you to
mature a bit. And see
how hard you were willing to try. I get that.
Two and a half years. It's the ultimate hard to get.
Yeah, now they're happily married and, yeah, which is really nice.
And he's won a Brown Eye medal.
Where's the line between romantic and pesty, you know?
It's got to be somewhere.
There's got to be a tipping point where you go,
oh, my God, I can't believe you're still willing to pursue me.
And, oh, my God, why are you still pursuing me?
I think there's a big difference and sometimes maybe the signals are read wrong.
Like definitely for females, I think there's a, yeah, keep persisting.
Like I want to be chased and then there's a leave me the hell alone.
Yeah, right.
If you've had a clear no thank you.
Then yeah, give up.
Give up.
It's a good time to give up.
If you've ever had the word said to you,
when are you going to get it through your thick skull,
I don't like you, then time to give up.
Did your wife, Lucy, reject you at first?
Did she reject me?
Let's say it was a long game.
So she did.
So she pretty much did, similar to this.
She rejected you at first.
You had to do the work.
Yeah.
Well, we had a trans-Tasman love story,
so there was definitely work involved.
Didn't she think you were like a punk kid when she first met you
and she was like, gross, no way,
and then you met her like a few years later?
Tell the truth.
That's how it really happened.
She has said when certain Facebook memories have come up
and I'm like, oh, Luce, look at this from 10 years ago.
She said, I am so glad I wasn't dating that version of you.
To which I spit into a positive, into a compliment,
and what my brain hears what my man
brain hears is man you've got hotter with age that's how i like that's how i like to interpret
whatever you need to tell yourself um so you have similar like a similar story to uh this guy where
you first rejected do the work and eventually can end in love okay. I want to know from people on 0800DIALZM, are you currently with someone that rejected you at first?
Like were they like, nah, not for me, but did you win them over?
Yeah, and how did you do it?
Yeah.
Did you do a full body transformation?
Or hopefully with your personality.
Did you get rich?
Oh, they're like, nah, get away.
I love how you go rig and money.
And I was like, what about if you're pretty funny?
Yeah, I'm realistic.
That's the only thing I've got in my tool belt is sometimes I can be pretty funny.
So you just keep dropping jokes on them until they go, all right.
All right, you make me laugh.
Come on.
Oh, 800 dials at him.
Did they reject you at first?
Were they like, ew, no?
And then like, ooh, yes.
And did it end in love because you worked at it?
You can also text us on 9696.
AFL midfielder Lockie Neal, who's won the Brownlow medal on Sunday night in the AFL,
has talked about how he chased his now wife for two and a half years
before she was like, okay, yeah, I do like you.
Let's give this a go.
Yeah.
He wore her down.
She rejected him for a long time, but he knew it was the real deal
and I guess chased her and now they're married, which is nice.
So we've asked you this afternoon on 0800DIALSATM,
have you had a similar story with your now partner?
Was it rejection at first and did it end in love?
Eleanor is on 0800 Dials at M.
Hi, Eleanor.
Hello.
Hi.
Is this the case in your relationship, Eleanor?
Yeah, it was the other way around though.
What happened?
Well, me and my partner, so we didn't know each other, spent the night together.
And then, you know, next day I was just not very keen on him.
He like fell in love straight away.
You were that good.
Yeah, you know, and then he asked my number and I was like, oh God, I don't know.
And then he was just texting me and I was like was like, no, never going to see him again.
Don't want a bar of it.
Put him in the friend zone, and then he persisted for a year.
We just hung out as friends.
Yep.
And now eight years later, we're married.
Oh, yes.
You must be an absolute catch, Eleanor.
And with a name like Eleanor, I just think of that really nice car
off-going in 60 seconds.
Yeah, I've seen it a lot.
Yeah, I bet seen it a lot.
What was the thing about that one night of passion with him that put you off?
It's going to sound really shallow, but the next day I kind of woke up
and he's got quite like juju lips,
and I was like they're out of proportion to his face.
I love luscious lips.
Yeah, I was just like
oh, I don't know and then yeah, and it was actually
I put all of that in our wedding vows too
on the day. Did you? Yeah.
Did he know that before you put it in your wedding
vows? Yeah.
I bet they're one of your favourite features
now too. Bloody news to me
Eleanor. Alright, thanks Eleanor.
Let's go to Loretta. Hi Loretta.
Hi Loretta. Hey, howoretta. Hi, Loretta.
Hey, how you doing?
Good, thanks.
Who did the chasing?
Was it you or your partner?
It was my partner.
What happened, Loretta?
He was 13.
I was 15.
He tried to kiss me, and I was like, oh, you're too young.
And then about 10 years later, he caught up with me again and asked me out, and I was like, oh, there's a few things about you I don't like.
Like the fact that he's younger and he was in a job that I didn't like.
Okay.
Right, okay.
And now, another ten years later, we're married and he's the love of my life.
Wait a minute.
So he chased you for how long, would you say?
Yeah, from 13 to when?
13 to when? 13 to when?
Another, say, 10 years on there.
10 years?
Yeah.
You know that he was in it for the long haul then, Loretta.
He did the hard yards.
Yeah, and then, yeah, 10 years later, married, kid.
I can see that being made into a rom-com film.
I love the idea of this determined, headstrong, 13-year-old boy
who knows what he wants.
He's like, see that girl?
See that 15-year-old girl there?
I'm going to marry her.
I don't care if it takes me 10 years.
Yeah.
That's what did it for him, Loretta.
He was like, oh, older, sexier lady.
Thanks, Loretta, you cougar.
Thanks for the call.
Let's get Chloe on.
Hi, Chloe.
Hi, Chloe. Hi, how's it going you cougar. Thanks for the call. Let's get Chloe on. Hi, Chloe. Hi, Chloe.
Hi, how's it going?
Good, thanks.
What happened in your situation?
Did you do the chasing or were you chased?
I did the chasing.
So me and my partner met as like a summer romance when we were kids.
Yeah.
At the beach as you make friends at the beach.
Wait, wait, this isn't Sandy, is it?
From Greece.
No.
That's literally the plot line of Greece.
I love this.
Keep going.
And then a little over five years later of chasing him,
finally he gave out and now we've been together for just over two years.
Really?
He gave out.
What in the end would you say, Chloe,
where he was like, oh no,
I actually do like this woman?
I think it was just me pestering
him the whole time.
It became easier to say yes
than it was to keep avoiding you.
Yeah, I think so.
Sounds like true love to me. Chloe, good for
you. There you go.
Those are some love stories of persistence.
I like them.
Thanks for sharing them this afternoon.
It's good stuff.
Well, nothing comes easy, does it?
Sometimes you've got to put in the work.
Brian Clint.
Anyone who is a fan of Outrageous Fortune or West Side, the TV shows,
listen up because this is a case of life imitating art going down in West Auckland at the moment.
Police have stopped a man outside the iconic West Auckland West House
and investigated him.
People have seen this going down.
The guy's been pulled over.
He's right outside Cheryl West's house.
You know the house.
Yeah, yeah.
But what was he doing?
So they've pulled him over and gone through the car
and they've found that inside the car were stolen tools.
They'd stolen some tools.
Right.
He was driving an unregistered vehicle
while he was disqualified from driving.
Okay, not ideal for that bloke.
So not ideal whatsoever.
No.
He's basically
one of the West family being
arrested outside the West house.
Maybe he's just trying to relive
his favourite TV show.
Maybe, and he timed it perfectly.
Recreate it, yeah. The photo
that has come out, because some bystanders have taken
a shot of this. I wonder even if the police have
taken the photo of this, because it's
just too picture perfect.
It looks like a shot out of
Outrageous Fortune. Like he's pulled up there
on the curb outside, the police vehicle
right behind it and the splendid looking
Outrageous Fortune house is just
there in all of its glory. It's too good.
It's too good to
I was going to say you couldn't write about it but they literally
did write about it for about 15 seasons.
There's a rumour that the Westside house might not be there for too much longer.
What, are they going to knock it down?
Well, they filmed Westside in there as well,
and Westside's final season is on now, I believe,
or it might have just finished.
And they don't need it anymore.
So there's no more.
They've caught up.
There's no more Westside or Atrageous Fortune to be made.
So the film company aren't going to pay to use the house anymore.
And the owners have said that once that's done,
they will either sell it off or they might even bulldoze the house
and build townhouses on it.
I swear that house was for sale last year.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure it was.
I think we talked about it.
Yeah, right.
Maybe it didn't sell.
Yeah, maybe not.
Maybe there's like a deal on it that if you buy it,
you have to allow the film company to keep filming.
But that's all finished now.
They can't knock it down.
It's a national treasure.
It's one of those things.
They should just move the house to Ramsey Street.
Ship it across to Australia.
Yeah, because it'll be preserved in that cul-de-sac.
I think the government should buy it
and it should become like what the White House is to America.
That should be the Prime Minister's residence.
Oh my God.
If you become Prime Minister,
you get to take up residence in the outrageous Fortune House.
It's got to be the most iconic house in New Zealand, doesn't it?
Yeah, be close.
I mean, what other house would be iconic in New Zealand?
I'm trying to think of any other TV show house.
There's not an iconic outside of a house on
Shortland Street that would do the same.
There's not a house on, do we even have any other TV
shows? Of course
there is. There's heaps.
I don't remember any of the houses from the block
NZ. It's the outrageous fortune house.
That's the house for you. Anyway, Google the picture.
You should buy it. Yeah.
And you should live in it. It'd be a perfect house to you should buy it. Yeah. And you should live in it.
It'd be a perfect house to bring up Tui.
Yeah, right?
She'd love it.
I'll get her a Holden Kingswood as her first car.
Kia ora.

I just want to change pace for a second because this is pretty massive news in the Catholic
Church world today.
And I saw this on TV this morning and it hit a place in my heart quite a lot and I just kind of connected with it
quite a lot because I mean I grew up in a Catholic family and I feel like this is going to be a
massive step forward in the right direction for a lot of people in that religion because this is news about Pope Francis, who recently made comments about God loving all of the LGBTQI plus children.
He's now come out and he is endorsed same-sex civil unions in the feature length documentary Francesco, which is like, I don't think people understand probably how big of a
deal that is to have the Catholic leader essentially. Oh, I think, I think we will
understand that. You know, endorse something like that. Yeah. Never been ever done before
in that religion. He's 83. And I just wanted to read out exactly what he said because I found it quite touching.
He said,
If a person is gay and seeks out the Lord and is willing,
who am I to judge that person?
I was paraphrasing by heart that the catechism of the Catholic Church
where it says that these people should be treated with delicacy
and not be marginalised.
I'm glad that we are all talking about homosexual people
because of all else comes the individual person
in his wholeness and dignity.
And people should not be defined only by their sexual tendencies.
Let us not forget that God loves all his creatures
and we are destined to receive his infinite love.
That right there is literally everything.
Like it's about the person and i think this is going to
really help so many families come back together because people in that religion really listen and
look up to you know that person in their hope yeah yeah he's a very powerful figure in their
life so in their religion he's god's representative on earth. He's that.
Yeah, he is the person.
He's a direct link of comms to the big guy.
And I think if him just coming out and saying, you know,
a few things can help mend and save a lot of families that have been torn apart because of reasons, you know,
I think it's an amazing step forward.
It's awesome.
He is definitely a pope for the people, eh?
Like I was raised Catholic as well.
I went to a Catholic high school and I'm not a practicing Catholic
and that whole religion has always turned me off
and it's been so conservative and so closed down
and even the way that we were taught at school was very,
it wasn't exclusionary but it was kind of like,
just don't talk about it, okay?
We're just not going to talk about it.
Just push it under the rug. And but it was kind of like, just don't talk about it. Okay. Just don't, we're just not going to talk about it.
Just push it under the rug.
Yeah.
And you just can't, you can't survive like that anymore.
Especially once you know, once you know what it, like you see what it does to families and what it does to people, that kind of shunning and just saying, no, this is wrong.
So for him to come out and say that, it's massive.
It's so awesome.
And I think it's, yeah, it's actually going to save a lot of people's lives.
And I know that's really heavy stuff,
but this is the real deal what we're talking about here
because there's so many people that grow up in religions
where they feel ashamed and they feel like they don't belong anywhere,
but him coming out and doing that,
hopefully it is a path to where people accept, you know,
if they're a good person and they're not hurting anyone, then that is the main thing
and that's what we should all focus on.
Also chill out and worry about yourself too.
Yeah.
You don't need to be concerned about everybody else's life and their business.
He's an MVP, most valuable pope.
Yeah, no, he's definitely, you know, doing stuff for the people
and I just wanted to talk about that today because I think that's really exciting
and, yeah, if you know someone who is going through a tough time
or whatever at the moment, reach out and see how they're doing because that's what it's all about.
Love thy neighbour. Yeah. There you go.
Time for What's The Plot?
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart,
debatable, talented, There was a girl. She was smart. Debatable.
Talented.
Athletic.
Not really.
Picking a movie based on just the plot line?
That she can do.
Brie and Clint's What's the Plot?
I'm broadcasting from home today, which I'm glad about in this instance,
because I think there is so much pressure heaped on this round of What's the Plot. I'm broadcasting from home today, which I'm glad about in this instance because I think there is so much pressure heaped on this round of What's the Plot that I don't want to be there if it goes wrong.
I don't want to be in range, you know, a safe distance between you and I.
I'll see you eventually.
Don't you worry about that.

Don't overthink this.
Don't overthink this.
King Kong.
King Kong is correct.
Is there something underneath it?
It's the legend of Skull Island, but I would just take King Kong.
I had both.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
No, I'm not going to be picky enough to pull you up on the sub-name of the film.
Right, okay.
King Kong will do.
Got it.

Thanks, mate.
We're on to play for $550 of mobile fuel in next week's edition of What's the Plot?
I think I put my neck out again.
Serves me right.
From pressure.
From celebrating.
From celebrating, right.
Bree and Clint.
I want to talk about blind dates.
I'm fascinated by them.
I think I've been on a couple in my lifetime.
What about you?
One.
One.
Did it work out?
Yeah, it was great.
I had a great time.
Did you?
Yeah.
I mean, did it work out?
Are we married?
No.
No.
So it didn't work out.
No, it did.
It worked out.
It was a great night.
How long did you date for?
One night.
So it didn't work out. Not like that. It didn't work out. Not like that. It was a great night. How long did you date for? One night. So it didn't work out.
Not like that.
It didn't work out.
Not like that.
It did.
It did.
We both parted company and we said that was a fantastic night.
And he digs.
He digs.
He digs a hole.
It was a fantastic blind date and I regret nothing.
I have had a few successes on blind dates.
I think there's something in it.
I think they do work sometimes. There's an added level of anticipation and excitement successes on blind dates. I think there's something in it. I think they do work sometimes, but...
There's an added level of anticipation and excitement to a blind date.
Yeah, it's awesome because you don't know what you're going to get.
It's like a box of chocolates.
You don't know what you're going to get.
Yeah, yeah.
Is it going to be terrible?
Am I going to have to get that fake phone call from my friend halfway through the date
to say they need my help urgently?
Yeah, you might pick the really horrible chocolate inside the favourites box, you know?
What's that?
You're in anaphylactic shock and you need me to come right now
and drive you to hospital.
I'll be there.
Oh, I've just got the morrow bar.
Damn it.
Anyway, there's a story about a woman that's doing the rounds
and she's been set up on a blind date
and she's decided to bring something along to the blind date.
She brought 23 family members along.
Oh, my God.
I was right.
And it was a way, she said,
of finding out if her potential suitor was generous or not.
Who's that?
Whoa.
Who's that generous?
Who's 23 family members generous?
She's decided that she would see if her blind date would pay for their entire night out.
Buzzy.
What?
She's crazy.
Anyway, they spent apparently over $4,000 on the bill.
And this poor guy.
Anyway, the guy, to be honest, when he found out, he was like, well, that's not happening.
And he pretty much left and didn't pay for his own meal either.
Good.
He just legged it.
And anyway, then she ended up tracking him down on social media.
And she's like, nah, well, you have to pay your part of the bill at least.
And then she footed the rest.
He does not have to pay his part of the bill because you put him in a horrific situation.
You put him in a lose-lose situation.
Yeah, but two wrongs don't make a right.
So he can't walk away with his head held high.
If he paid for his and then got out of there,
he'd never have to hear from her again.
I could walk into a blind date with Katy Perry,
and if she had 23 family members there, I'm walking out.
Don't lie.
You're such a liar.
Yeah.
Yeah, you think about it. All right, no, I'll cut your deal,'t lie. You're such a liar. Yeah. Yeah, you think about it. Alright, no, I'll cut you a deal, Katie
Perry. I'll go your halves. I'll get
11 and a half of the family members and you get
11 and a half. I hate to break it to you, but I feel like
Katie Perry might be
a little bit more financially
stable than you. I think she'd be
okay. True. You'd get me, Katie, actually.
It's your lucky night. Yeah, I think she'd
be hooking you up with a meal.
But obviously this is a disaster
story and there wasn't a second date
for obvious reasons because she
was, you know, a piece of
work. But I wanted to
know from people. Imagine being
in the family and going along with it.
You're like, oh yeah, let's go and get them.
Yeah, well that behaviour's had to come from somewhere.
Right. So it's obviously from, you know, the family members probably all do it all the time.
They're like, right, who's going on a blind date this week?
Yeah, it's an age-old family tradition.
So we can all get another meal, you know, Christmas time.
They're like, oh, who's got a good one?
Who's reeled them in?
Who's tendering up Christmas?
Yeah, seriously.
We want to know from you guys, though.
I want to hear success stories.
Blind date success stories. Or do we want both? I prefer a disaster story. I want to know from you guys, though. I want to hear success stories. Blind date success stories.
Or do we want both?
I prefer a disaster story.
I want both.
Okay.
Maybe you had a really good experience and you ended up dating the person,
maybe even marrying the person you met on a blind date,
or maybe the blind date was horrific.
Yeah.
Are you an advocate for or against blind dates?
Yeah.
Tell us the experience you've had on blind dates.
What's went down on a blind date?
Oh, 800 dials at M, or you can text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
What's your blind date experience?
Good or bad, we want to hear about it all
because there's a woman who has brought 23 family members along
to a blind date to see if her potential suitor was generous or not
when they left him with the bill.
Turns out he did a runner and left them with the bill
and it was a mess.
Do we know what the venue was?
Like was it a bar or like a Lone Star?
I'm not sure.
Because you need a big booking.
For 24 people, that's a big booking.
Yeah, can you imagine him turning up and being like, okay, where is she?
Yeah.
And there's 23 people.
Some over here.
That's more people than I can probably imagine being at Christmas time.
Totally.
And what if the date was just casual fish and chips on the beach?
Can you imagine how big that order would have been?
Imagine if they all went to the movies together.
Take out the whole front four rows.
Book out the whole cinema.
Anyway, we've asked you guys, what's your blind date experience?
Let's go to Olivia first.
Hi, mate.
Hey, I set two of my friends up, complete blind date, no names, nothing,
just told them a time and a place. And they got married nine months later.
Shut the front door, Olivia.
Were you, like, involved in the wedding then because you set them up?
They wanted me at the wedding,
but I was actually overseas at the time I was gutted.
Oh, no.
That's your one chance, Liv,
where you've actually been, like, the love matchmaker
and you didn't go to the wedding.
I know, but who gets married in nine months?
Yeah, well, that's true.
So you weren't to be able to predict that, were you?
It was quite quick.
Have your other friends come to you and gone?
You matchmake too well.
Yeah, and have your friends asked you to set them up?
Now you're like, I want you to do for me what you did for them.
Yeah, because I was also a product of being set up too
and I married the guy I got set up with.
Oh, my God.
You're the poster girl for blind dates.
Yeah.
Wait, so you also had a blind date and married your blind date as well?
Yeah.
Oh, my God, amazing.
Okay, well, that's two big ticks for yes, blind dates work.
Let's go to Vanessa.
Hi, Vanessa.
Hey, how are you going?
Good, thanks.
Was it you that got set up on a blind date, Vanessa?
Yes, my workmate came to work and she's like,
I've got this really hot guy that we know and he's single and so are you.
So do you want to come out to my place for dinner?
And I'm like, nah, it doesn't really interest me.
And then I thought about it and I was like, actually, you know what?
Let's go.
18 years later, here we are, happily married, my best mate.
Vanessa, that's so lovely.
And I think you've done it the right way because there's a blind date
where it's like real awkward and you have to meet someone at a restaurant
that you've never met.
You don't know what they look like.
Whereas if they're there and you're there at a gathering or a dinner, boom, it's not as weird.
But is that more or less awkward, I wonder,
because you'll have people looking at you because they want you to hook up
and they'll be watching you the whole time to see if there was a spark going on.
Yeah, I got set up on one of those blind dates and we dated for three years.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, so it worked.
Yeah, right.
For three years it worked anyway.
Yeah, I was going to say.
You and your partner haven't been together that long.
Stacey, finally, blind date story.
What happened?
Hi, I went on a blind date when I was 17,
and 24 years later we're still together, married, three kids.
We were set up by my mother-in-law.
No way.
So how?
Wait, how did that come about that you were set up by your mother-in-law?
She came and worked at the place I was working at and I trained her up.
And she said, oh, yeah, you're quite bossy.
You should go out and meet my son.
And I was like, oh, yeah, because I was giving it the big and I was 17.
And I said, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
I'll meet him.
And I rearranged to meet up because you didn't have mobile phones and you couldn't take photos and stuff.
So I thought, oh, what if he's ugly?
So I jumped in a taxi and I thought, I'll take a taxi
and then if he's ugly, I'll get them to carry on driving
and say I could make it.
But luckily, 24 years later.
So he wasn't an uggo.
He wasn't, no.
Have you told him that story?
Yeah.
I love that, Stacey. Keep it real.
Yeah, I told him.
That is so good.
Yeah, he's 24 years on Monday.
And you know what that does?
That gives mothers out there who are out there trying to pimp their son
or daughter off on a blind date hope, you know?
Because so many parents are out there like,
you've got to date my son.
Don't do that.
My mum listens to this show.
I know what she wants from you.
She doesn't need any encouragement.
If your mum ever gets to go
to a training day at a Melbourne Storm game,
it's all on.
They're great.
Mother-in-law's picked, obviously, the right person
because I think my husband's done pretty darn well.
Yeah.
I think he's really at the jackpot.
She's buying tickets to the Grand Final this weekend so really at the jackpot. She'd be there. She's going to be,
she's buying tickets
to the grand final this weekend
so she can go
and corner Cam Smith
and just go,
my daughter's in New Zealand
and she's gagging
for a fella like you.
For the hundredth time,
Mum,
Cameron Smith is married
so just let it go,
okay?
And you're taken as well.
Exactly, yeah.
You can't keep
a good woman down forever.
Thanks, Stacey.
Great call. Love it. Exactly, yeah. You can't keep a good woman down forever. Thanks, Stacey. Great call.
Love it.

Black Velvet is iconic, but is it the vibe for today?
It just might be a bit too slow, but I do love and rate that song.
I love that song as well.

Zed and Bree and Clint, that's Little Mix and Black Magic.
That's our throwback birthday banger for the day.
What year was that, Brie?
That was 2015.
2015.
I just did some Googling on the Little Mix girls to see what they were up to.
Yeah.
And the stories are so ridiculous.
Like one of the stories is Perry Edwards sports fringe
in new Little Mix sweet melody video.
Oh, yeah.
And then the next one is Jesse Nelson wows in crop top
as she celebrates exciting Little Mix news.
One of those girls could fart and would make the front page of the Mirror or the Sun.
You know those British newspapers that just report on everything,
that Little Mix and the
cast of Geordie Shore and
people from The Only Way is Essex
and
Peter Andre. I do love the Little Mix
girls. This song playing in the background
was our backup choice. No regrets that we didn't
play this? This is a great
song. This is a great song, yeah.
Wait for it. There we go.
Yeah, it's a rubber.
Wanted to ask our
listener friends for a bit of help on this
because one of my friends, I was chatting
to her the other night and
she was telling me about this weight loss
journey that she's been on.
Oh yeah. Which is awesome.
She's done so well.
Her goal was to get healthy, which is awesome. And I think she's lost about 30 kilos.
Whoa, that's impressive.
Which is really impressive. And she's done it over a number of years. I think it's been
about two years. So she's done it right and she's eaten healthier and she's exercised
and done all those things.
Made a lifestyle change.
Yeah, and I said to her the other day because I was really interested,
I was like, have you, like what happened with your wardrobe?
Because obviously, you know, you would have had to have bought new stuff
that fit you.
I was like, did you wait until you got to like your goal weight
or did you just, you know, buy stuff along the way?
Yeah. She was like, oh, I, you know, buy stuff along the way? Yeah.
She was like, oh, I kind of bought a few things along the way
to like treat myself and like, you know, kind of encourage me
to keep going.
Victory pants.
Yeah.
But she's like, you know, now that I'm at my goal weight,
I kind of have bought quite a lot more stuff.
She's like, you know, so I bought everything.
So I updated my shoes because they didn't fit anymore.
And I was like, what?
Even shoes.
This is what shocked me, right?
And I said, what do you mean?
I was like, what do you mean your shoes didn't fit?
She's like, yeah, I've gone down a shoe size.
That's incredible to me.
Have you ever heard that before?
Because I wouldn't have thought that your actual footprint itself changed.
Yeah, changed that much.
But she had a whole extra shoe size and weight.
Yeah, which, I mean, I Googled it,
and apparently it is something that's quite common.
You can go down a shoe size or multiple shoe sizes
if you lose a lot of weight.
How overweight was she?
I mean, she's a very tall girl, so she, I think, you know,
always, she looks great to me no matter what,
but she did have a little bit of weight to lose to be healthier, I think.
About 30 kgs.
Yeah, but she's quite tall.
I think she's six foot, so.
Yeah.
But I was shocked at that.
I've never heard of that before, and I was wondering if you could text us
on 9696, has this happened to you?
Have you lost?
Have you gone down a shoe size?
Yeah.
That is buzzy. And I've always thought about how
fun it would be to redo your wardrobe
once you hit your goal weight, obviously.
Because it's like you're
querying yourself. You get out there and do the whole makeover.
But at the same time, clothes are expensive.
Especially shoes.
An entire wardrobe is expensive. Shoes,
I wouldn't think that my taste in shoes
would have changed when I lost the weight.
Maybe it would.
I don't know.
But you would hope that shoes would be a constant and you could at least keep those ones going?
It kind of blows my whole thing out of the water where I always say, because I love shoes and I buy a lot of shoes,
and people are like, oh, why do you like shoes so much?
I'm like, because they always fit.
You know what I mean?
Someone texted and said, I lost 36 kgs
And I dropped a shoe size
But I kept my cankles
I'm with you
I'm rocking the cankles too
I've had a few bad soccer injuries
At least a jandle
Even a jandle wouldn't still fit
If you go down a shoe size
No, a jandle is probably
The most likely to change
Wait, here comes a few other texts
Someone said
I went upper size
Post having babies So it works the other way as well.
Oh, yeah. Someone's saying pregnancy, feet swell, water weight, etc.
When I went down a few sizes after giving birth. True. I've seen a couple
of friends pregnant feet and they were not slipping into a stiletto. Put it that way.
Absolutely not. What about this text? This is amazing. Hey, I've lost
83 kilos. I was 140 kilos, went to 58 kilos.
I've gone down two shoe sizes.
That's mental.
That's crazy.
Your shoes must have been so ill-fitting when you were overweight, you know?
I can't believe your feet changed that much.
Yeah, because they would have been wider, but they're not going to get,
your feet aren't going to get shorter, are they?
They're going to be far out.
I lost 30 kgs in a year, but I didn't go down a shoe size.
Oh, yeah, so it's not that.
Maybe not for everyone.
Yeah, but heaps of people are saying, yeah, they went down a shoe size.
Definitely dropped shoe sizes when I lost the weight.
Yeah, I lost 25 kilos, went down a shoe size.
There are so many of these stories.
This is quite motivational to see these texts coming in too.
That's amazing.
See, I'm still amazed by that.
That's something that I never knew and never even thought about.
PSA for anyone thinking about,
maybe I should go purchase a pair of leather pants for the summer.
Maybe that's my summer look.
Maybe a leather jumpsuit like Elvis wore in that TV special.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know the one I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah, the black one with the cinched in at the waist.
Yeah, why are you cringing?
He looked amazing in that.
No, I'm cringing at the idea of, one, me being in that jumpsuit,
and, two, wearing that jumpsuit in summer.
That's the worst part.
Can you imagine how sweaty it would have been in there?
Yeah.
Like, it has got nowhere to go.
It was so rude to put Fat Elvis in a leather jumpsuit.
It was not his.
When was Fat Elvis?
The white one.
Oh, was that leather too?
Oh, good point.
I don't know if it was leather.
It might have been neoprene to make it stretch over the body.
Yeah, maybe.
Anyway, he rocked it.
I fully endorse that leather suit Elvis wore.
But this is a PSA where you might not want to buy this particular pair
of leather pants from a place called Zara.
Oh, yeah, Zara, yep.
I do like...
Zara's the biggest clothing manufacturer in the world.
Yeah.
You know my partner used to work on the guy who owns Zara's super yacht?
Oh, buzzy.
He's one of the richest men in the world.
Yeah.
The super yacht was one of the biggest super yachts in the world too.
Whoa.
It was humongous.
I think it was like something like over 100 metres long.
It was massive, huge.
Yeah.
Anyway, this pair of leather pants is from Zara
and this girl has purchased them
and she noticed that when she bent bent down they made a particular noise take
a listen so i bought these really cute flary tight leather pants and i went out to eat with my family
in them on our way out my sister drops her phone so i go down to pick it up and this happens.
So every time she bends down, it makes a weird noise.
And you go, sorry, it was the pants.
And everyone would go, sure, it's the pants.
Yeah, weird.
I've got heaps of pants that do this, actually.
As if leather pants weren't attention-seeking enough, right?
For that noise to be coming out of them, you'd just go, what a disaster.
And they're not cheap either.
My wife's got a pair of leather pants, which she looks fantastic in.
I'm saying that because I'm an earshot of her at the moment.
She can actually hear me while I'm talking.
But she does look fantastic.
We went to the Adele concert in Auckland, which if you went to that,
you'll remember how hard it rained.
Yeah, you're not getting those pants off.
It was pouring down.
She wore them because she thought they'd be waterproof What actually happened was the pants
Like fused to her legs
They kind of shrunk
And when we got home she had to sit on the kitchen floor
And I had to tug on the leather pants
To get them off her legs
Alright we don't want to know what you guys are doing at home
On a Saturday night mate
If it wasn't so awkward it would have been romantic
Yeah I bet.
