Oh, g'day guys. Producer Ben here. Brianne, Clint, not here at the moment actually. And that's my fault. I forgot to record a podcast intro with them today. It's been a bit of a strange few days. Clint has been sick, so he's been broadcasting from home, which you would have noticed and you'll notice today on the show, which means two things. One, we've had to try to get everything really quickly in. And two, no Friday Okie today. So if you're tuning in just for Friday Okie, just skip it. There's no point. It's definitely not on the podcast. So sorry about that. That's my fault. I've definitely shot off, so it's just me sitting

here all alone at work. I really want to go home. The guys are going to have a long weekend this time. It's actually a long weekend in New Zealand at the moment. We have Monday off for Labor Day. But the guys, we've decided to take Tuesday off as well so we can all go away and relax. I'm going hiking. Bree is going to an eco lodge. And I believe Clint is going away somewhere with some family

with baby Tui. And Anastasia is in Christchurch. How good's Christchurch? So anyway, enjoy the podcast. We will be back on Wednesday. Or if you're not listening to this, on Friday So anyway, enjoy the podcast. We will be back on Wednesday. Or if you're not listening to this, on Friday. And Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. In four days?

Wait, today's Friday for me. Wednesday we're going to be back with a podcast. Saturday, Sunday, Monday too. Four days. So maybe just listen to old podcasts. We'll go from there. Hey, that's all I have to say, I really don't like doing this, but you guys know that, so enjoy the podcast, see you in four days, that's

all, actually, you know what, before I go, I'm just going to give you the dolphin, we haven't had it for a few days, but that's because Clint's been away, and you know, we're just getting lazy, so here it is. If I get this right. Oh, no, it's going to be the wrong button, isn't it? Classic. Okay, let's try this. This one. Yeah, that sounded good.

Enjoy the podcast. Hey, Siri, when are Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in five, four, three, two, one. What a way to start the weekend. G'day, everybody.

To use here, I just gave out the Aussie back end. I'm not correcting you, though. I don't want people to know my email address. Let's kick it off with Friday Jam.

Here's Beyonce on ZM. Brie and Clint. Brie and Clint. Brie, personal question. Yeah. Do you crack your knuckles? Are you a knuckle cracker? No.

No. It's not something I have ever done That was a sound effect by the way Yeah, it wasn't mine Knuckles Should I try now? Yeah, give it a go See if you can do it I don't think they will Really?

Oh, no they did A little bit Will mine? I'll give mine a go I'll turn right up Yeah, okay I am a knuckle cracker And you're not

But what's the one thing we were all told as kids About cracking our knuckles Don't crack your knuckles, it'll give you arthritis Exactly right We had the same upbringing even though we're in different countries Then all of a sudden in 2018 A Harvard Medical School blog came out And it said that cracking your knuckles was harmless

And boy did we get excited I remember when this came out They're like it's just gas It's just gas said that cracking your knuckles was harmless and boy did we get excited. I remember when this came out. I don't remember it. They're like, it's just gas. It's just gas. It's just gas and the joints popping. Getting released from the joints. Yeah, and there was even suggestions

that cracking your knuckles increased mobility and flexibility. Oh, here we go. So we were like, yeah, I love this. I'm going to start cracking my, I'm going to crack everything. There's now more research that has come in. Oh, no.

After the 2018 Harvard Medical Blog that said cracking your knuckles was harmless. Well, the new research suggests that knuckle cracking over the years will cause repetitive trauma to the joints and cartilage and long-term knuckle cracking can cause significant damage, degeneration of the cartilage and arthritis. Don't believe everything you read in a study. But let's be honest. What isn't going to give you arthritis or cancer or bloody COVID these days? You've got to draw the line somewhere, right? If you don't get arthritis, you're going to get hit by a bus.

Yeah, right? Who knows? You've got to make a line somewhere. I mean, it's the little joys in life. If we can't crack our knuckles, what can we do? I'll tell you where I join the line, though. What? The people who crack their neck.

Oh, no, I can't go that far. We talked about this. I've never seen a person crack their neck. And you see them, they do it side, they twist it one way, they twist it the other way. Oh, I don't even want to talk about it. I can't go that far. We talked about this. I've never seen a person crack their neck. And you see them, they do it side, they twist it one way, they twist it the other way. Oh, I don't even want to talk about it. I can't. And you've never seen someone do that and go,

oh, that person seems like they've got their health under control. Seems like they've got it together. They're self-medicating. They know what's happening. Oh, God, I hate it. Bree and Clint. Air New Zealand have announced they're bringing back something real 90s. And I wonder if you had this in Australia, Bree.

Did you have mystery break weekends over there? I, to be honest, can't remember. And if it was in the 90s, my family wouldn't have been able to afford it. Me neither. We were, yeah. We couldn't afford to fly anywhere, to be honest. We didn't do holidays either. But I heard about these things called mystery breaks.

And it was like you show up to the airport and you don't know where you're going you hop on the plane and you go away and wherever the airline has sent you that's where the holiday is and as a kid who didn't go on holidays anyway i was like man that sounds magical that sounds wonderful but now not knowing what to pack for right right but now as an adult who would have to spend my own money on a trip like that, I'm like, that sounds like hell. No, thank you. No, thank you. I've got enough anxiety like traveling anywhere,

let alone not knowing where I was going. Right? Like I know and I wish I was one of those people that could throw caution to the wind and just turn up and I love those people. I just have, you know, come to the conclusion I'm not one. My wife isn't one of those people, so I like to pretend that I am. And I say the only reason. You're definitely not.

The only reason that I'm not spontaneous is because she's not. Don't put that on her. Don't blame her to make her feel even worse. I'm not spontaneous either. Here's what you can get if you're interested. If the idea of a mystery holiday excites you, Air New Zealand are selling three different options. There's Great, that's level one.

Deluxe, that's level two. Or Luxury. Those are the three different levels. How much are they? They start at $5.99 per person and within that you get flights, accommodation and transfers all sorted you have to pick the date and you nominate one place that you would prefer not to go where would be

that place for you i'd know where in altiro i love this wonderful country with all of my heart and so long as i wasn't going to Hamilton, I'm fine. Bullshit! They tell you two days before you go. Right, so you have a little bit of time to prepare and you can actually pack for where you're going. Yeah, but I think that's too much. I think that's too much time to get disappointed. Oh, true, and then you can back out of it. You can back out of it or you can stress about how shit it's going to be.

Just tell you two hours beforehand or however long it takes you to the airport plus one hour. Tell you at the airport. Nah, because you've got to have time to pack the right stuff. Nah, stuff them. Just pack for both. Pack for all occasions. True, actually. Bree's right. Stuff them. Yeah, stuff them. You're purchasing this thing. You may as well go

all out. It is a bit of mystery and it is a little bit of excitement. So if you're interested in a mystery break, go and well i'm not sales why am i trying to sell this holiday knowing me i would sign up for this and then they'd tell me i was going to auckland and i'd be like i'm already bloody here i want to get out of here dean matthew mcconaughey is all over the news at the moment. He's got a new book coming out.

He actually spoke to Fletchbourne and Megan on the show yesterday as well. Did you just hear what you said? You're like, I was just thinking the same thing because we spoke about him last week. And I'm like, he's been in the news a lot. And then I realized he's promoting his book. Yeah. Yeah. That's what happens.

Good publicity. Yeah, good publicity. And there are some interesting details coming out about him through this book, which is what you want from a good book. I hate reading someone's book and you go, you told me nothing. I already knew all this. I knew all of this. But he's willing to spill on a lot of things, including the death of his father.

Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Yeah, the book is called Greenlights, and I can honestly say I was so shocked at all the things that came out of the book. I don't know how he kept all of this secret for all this long, but one of the highlights, I don't know if you'd call it a highlight, but it's one of the most interesting and most talked about, is that his father passed away while in bed sleeping with his mother.

Not sleeping with, but sleeping with his mother. In the moment. And he had a heart attack. Oh, no. During the thing mother in the moment. And he had a heart attack during the thing. And that's when he died. Yeah. That's saying, I heard at the funeral, they were like, oh, he went out doing what he loved.

Doing who he loved. Yeah, or doing who he loved. This is not funny, but it's a horrific thing to have to think about. Yeah. Yeah, right? Dean, did you hear that his dad actually predicted that was the way he was going to go? Yes. Did he?

Yeah. His dad had said, yeah. How weird is that? He said, boys, I'm going to go. I'll be making love to your mother when I go down. And so basically he predicted how it would happen. But one of the other things, another thing that came out of the book, there's so many interesting things, other one I'd go, damn. And so basically he predicted how it would happen. One of the other things, another thing that came out of the book,

there's so many interesting things, but when he was young, he cut his head and his dad took him to a vet on the side of the road, an animal doctor, and they gave him 73 stitches through his head on the spot, some random vet when he was like 13. His stories are so wild. Go and read the book Greenlight. It's absolutely wild. He's a bu wild. Go and read the book Greenlight. He's a buzzy guy, Matthew McConaughey. Dean, did you know that Matthew McConaughey probably is in the book? He went to high school

for a year in Australia. I never knew that. I didn't see that. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. Summer Bay High. It was actually near Summer Bay High. I was on the Central Coast near a place where I used to live and he went there to school on an exchange for a year. I love that.

I love whenever there's a local title, a big celeb. Courtney Love, who was married to Kurt Cobain, went to school with Nelson for a year. Did she? Yeah. And we were like, she's a Kiwi. She's a Kiwi. That's the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy.

Thanks to Two Degrees Broadband. Give it a whip for yourself at twodegreesbroadband.co.nz. Bree and Clint. This is exciting. I've got some more signature Bree and Clint aviation news. We are the leading show for both maritime and aviation

and verging into rail news as well from time to time. It has been pretty skint on the old airplane news. It has, and that's why I'm so excited to have not only aviation news in the show today, but local aviation news. It has, and that's why I'm so excited to have not only aviation news in the show today, but local aviation news.

Okay. Okay, this story is by way of where most of the aviation happens in Wellington, Wellington Airport. Okay. Yeah, which is scary to fly into. Yeah, it's hectic. Yeah. But it's amazing.

Like, it's beautiful, but every time we do it, I'm like, oh my God. It's like going in Dreamworld. Literally. It's more exciting than the giant drop when it's windy down there. This also doubles as real estate news, okay? And we don't have a signature sound for that. To be honest, we don't do a lot of real estate news. Can I guess what it is?

Yeah, go on then. Is it someone who's built like a holiday or a home or something in an airplane or something? No, but that would be sick. That's the kind of shit we would talk about on this feature. That would be sick. That's the kind of shit we would talk about on this feature. That would be awesome. No. You now have the opportunity to purchase the original air traffic control tower at Wellington Airport, and you can live in it. I saw this. Yeah.

Yeah, I did see this. The air traffic control tower was built in 1959, and Wellington now has a bigger and better air traffic control tower, which, thank God, because this thing looks just about the size of a regular house. It looks tiny. Wellington's a busy airport. How could they even see over any buildings in that thing to see the planes? Yeah.

They're going out on the balcony with binoculars. No, I don't know. Has it been converted already or you have to do the conversion? Yeah, it kind of has. Okay, so I'll sell it to you. I'm the real estate agent in this listing. All right, what has it got? Bree, for your first home, the retired aviation control tower at Wellington Airport,

the building comes with a cramped floor plan. Great. Narrow stairs only access to all four levels of the tower. My favourite. A lack of natural light in many areas. The property comes with not one, but one toilet. of the tower. My favourite. A lack of natural light in many areas. The property comes with not one, but on a one toilet.

In that big a building. Four storeys, one toilet. Yep, which is a real pain in the arse if you're on the fourth floor. And the toilet's on the first floor. And the toilet's on the first floor.

Yeah. Yeah. Especially if you leave your phone in the toilet as well. It hasn't had a paint job in at least 10 years. That's your job if you buy it. The kitchen,

it's a nice kitchen. They have a kitchen in there? Yeah, it's got a kitchen that was bought in in the year 2000 for the air traffic controllers. Oh, so nice and modern. So it's probably got a zip machine. It's probably got a zip kettle in there.

Great. And it also has asbestos and it is not earthquake safe. Oh, okay, you lost me. You lost me is not earthquake safe. Oh, okay. You lost me. You lost me at the end there. Yeah, but you're buying your first home, not your dream home. Okay?

You've got to get on the property ladder at some stage. If you buy it. Wonderful views of the airport too. Because it looks like a tower. Could you buy it and then recreate scenes from around the twist? What's around the twist? Where they live in a lighthouse. But instead you live in this shitty airplane tower thing.

If that's going to help you get across the line as a buyer, then yeah, it's absolutely something you can do in this property. Oh, mate, go to auction. I'm not going to kiss the bride. Oh, let's go to auction. Bree and Clint. I was telling you about this family that posted a video on Reddit after they found something in their house that they've lived in for five years.

Right. Never knew it was there, but for some reason they've finally come across this thing. It's actually a secret room within the house. Where was it? How come they didn't know the room was there? So it essentially, you know like slate kind of brick where it's like all different shapes and rocks and it's all like pretty much – Oh, like stone wall type stuff. Yeah, like it's all different shapes but it's all put together perfectly.

Yeah, I never understand how they do that. Neither. But essentially, they had a wall like that in their house. Yeah. like that in their house. And one day, this is so creepy, so it's near the kitchen and one day one of the people that lived in the house accidentally knocked one of the rocks out of the wall. Yeah. And it actually released a whole door that swings open.

Like a James Bond style secret room situation. Like a full on massive door. We're not talking about a little room in the attic or something. It's like a full secret door. Let me get it straight. So they didn't have to take all the rocks off the wall to find the house. The rocks moved. Ah, the door, yeah.

Whoa. Crazy, hey. Anyway, so the video shows like how they removed this one rock and it kind of comes loose and the door opens and they kind of go in there but it's really dark so you can't really see anything. So I looked into it further to see what it was. So it kind of looked like a pantry or a secret cupboard kind of thing

but apparently there wasn't really anything interesting in it. It was just like a broom, a dustpan, a third of a bag of concrete, some wood boards, an indoor fence, and some spare blinds. That's it. If you're going to go to that much trouble to hide a secret room and not tell people that are buying the house off you that it's there, at least put some treasure there for when they find it. Yeah, like live a little.

A note or like something to build the anticipation because that's good. I just picture they open the door and it's like, oh, Captain Jack Sparrow. It's like his lair. You found me. You found me and my treasure. I've been here nigh on four score and 40 years. Yeah, right. Well, this long weekend,

why not kick some holes in the walls of your rental property and see if there's some secret rooms back there? I think that's what we're taking out of this story. I don't endorse that, and we don't endorse that comment here at ZM. Don't do that. Good point, good point. Don't break your toe.

Get a sledgehammer. Bree and Clint. Space News. This is big, Bree. This is big. This is stuff of movies, you know? Okay. Which I feel is everything that NASA's doing these days.

Everything that NASA decides to do is something that's already been done in a movie. Yeah, they got the idea of the movie. Yeah, it used to be the other way around. Movies would go, what have NASA done? Let's make a movie. Yeah, they got the idea of the movie. Yeah, it used to be the other way around. Movies would go, what have NASA done? Let's make a movie. You know Apollo 13? And now NASA are like, we're out of ideas. What do they do in movies?

Independence Day, all right. So the thing went and blew up. Well, let's not do Independence Day. Let's not do that one. Yeah, probably not that one. NASA have just successfully landed a spacecraft on an asteroid. Oh, yeah. A.K.A. the plot line of Armageddon.

Oh, yeah, because they had to land on the asteroid and then put the bomb down into it to blow it to pieces. Exactly right. You've seen it. Bruce Willis saved humanity. And who else is that? Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler's in there. And Liv Tyler, yeah.

Osiris-Rex launched in September 2016 and travelled... Is that Miley Cyrus' sister? Yeah, it is, yeah. The one from Metro Station. Travelled, get this, 321 million kilometres to the asteroid. It arrived at the asteroid in 2018 in December. And since then, it's just been chilling out. It's been hovering around the asteroid, waiting for its time to head in.

Can I ask, what is exactly the point of it? They're trying to gather information about the origins of the solar system. And it's an ancient asteroid, and they want to drill into it, get some asteroid dust, and then it blasts off and it flies home with the information and we, I don't know, study it back here on Earth or something. That's exactly why they're doing it. Can't they put their time and effort at the moment into like a COVID vaccine or something? Well, they launched this in 2016.

I hear you. I hear you. You know, is the asteroid trip really that important right now? They started this in 2016. It's one of those things they've already committed to, you know? I think if they're looking at it in 2020, then yeah. Look at, yeah, the 2020 lens. Yeah, and I think they got this approved

under Obama too. If Trump had come out and he would have gone, I hate it. I hate it. This is not a good idea. This is the worst deal of all time. What a waste of money. I just think they've missed an opportunity here. If they're going to land on the asteroid and they're going to drill into the asteroid. They may as well blow it up.

They may as well blow it up, just like on Armageddon just so we could see what it's like. So we can get practice. Because one day we're going to be in that situation. One day we're going to have to drop a nuke. We're going to have to send Bruce Willis up into the atmosphere to drop a nuke. And he's going to be too old. And he'll be too old, yeah. He'll be too old to go up. He's the only guy that knows how to do it.

It's time to start training Shia LaBeouf. That's exactly where we're at. I think so. Anyway, that's your patented Brie and Clint space news for this afternoon. Brie and Clint. Who wants to live in a castle? Nah, castles are haunted. Oh.

But, I mean, it'd be cool for a couple of nights. Well, how about for a whole year? Who wants to live in a castle for a year? Is it Hogwarts? No, it's Windsor Castle, where the Queen lives. Oh, that'd be pretty cool. The opportunity has come up to live at Windsor Castle and get paid to do so. You can live in the Queen's residence and get paid $37,500 a year.

Does that sound exciting to you, Brie? I mean, it doesn't, you know, depends what I'm having to do. Good, I like that. You're a details-driven person. You're not just jumping at the question. Because to live at Windsor Castle, this is a real opportunity, by the way, for anyone who's interested, to live in Windsor Castle and earn $37,500,

you just need to be the cleaner. The cleaner of the whole castle. Of the whole castle. The queen is looking for an apprentice cleaner to join Windsor Castle. You will live there, so you'll be a live-in cleaner, which I reckon has a lot more cons than pros because you're always at work. If Philip decimates a bathroom at 2 a.m., he comes home after a big night on the um rum and cokes and goes into the guest bathroom and has a whoopsie they're just going to go and knock on your door and they're going to go

sorry philip's done it again clean up in bathroom six clean up in bathroom 45 remember i told you there was that friend of ours that actually worked and lived at the castle. Yeah, as a horseman. He was a horse trainer. No, the true story, he was. And he was a Kiwi and his visa was running out and he was like, oh, I'll ask the Queen about it. Obviously, she might be able to do something. Pull some strings, yeah. She's the Queen.

Anyway, he talks to the Queen about it and she was like, oh, that's horrible. Well, best of luck. Toodle- that's horrible. Well, best of luck. Toodle pip. Yeah, just best of luck. Right. Well, maybe he wants to apply for this job. I'll give you a couple more details on the cleaning job.

Yeah. Windsor Castle covers 44,965 square meters. So she's a little bit bigger than your average student flat. Okay, yeah. And this bit blew my mind. Windsor Castle has around 1,000 rooms. 1,000 rooms? 1,000 rooms. Dining rooms, bedrooms, lounges, bathrooms, kitchens.

Bedrooms. Studies, offices. Do you reckon they've got a red room in there? Sex dungeons, I was just about to say that, yeah. Yeah, I reckon they might have one. I mean, what different types of rooms could you have if there's a thousand? Games room. Games room?

Games room, yeah. What would be the ultimate when you know that you've made it in life? What is the room? Indoor shooting range. Indoor shooting range? Why not? You've got a thousand rooms just make one um indoor indoor bull riding room oh yeah that'd be cool i'll be keen for that after that who cares you've got people who are going to clean it for you anyway even if the

bulls poo everywhere i've just done a little bit of math on that 37 5 000 uh for 37 500 even if you only worked 40 hours a week, which you're not going to as a live-in cleaner, you're going to work more, it works out to $18 an hour. Minimum wage in New Zealand is currently $18.90. So the queen, the bloody queen, is stiffing you on how much she's paying you

to be a cleaner at Windsor Castle. Yeah, she's bloody cheap. That's what my friend said too. Come on, Lizzie. She's cheap. You know you're better than this. She's cheap. She's so cheap.

She's reusing her teabags. Can you imagine? She's like, whoa, don't throw that teabag out. It's got one good tea left in it. You don't get a thousand room house by not being cheap. Look, this might not come as a surprise to you because you own pets. Yeah, I do own pets. And now I own a pet.

But the stats are in. We're pet people. We are pet people. And the stats are in. 72% of dog owners and 32% of cat owners have admitted to having actually cancelled plans with other humans to spend quality time with their pets. Oh! Have we talked about this before? I feel like we have.

I'm interested. I'm still interested. If we have, I'm still interested. I want to know more. I'm even more interested. I'm just having deja vu right now. I'm even more interested because I feel like it's good to reassess these stats now. Now that you are a pet owner. I didn even more interested because I feel like it's good to reassess these stats now because I didn't have one

when we talked about it. Oh, and there'll be so many more pet owners listening to this show now since last time we may or may not have talked about this. We've just taken on board

heaps more. I actually did this to Ben. Oh, grim. Some people between now and last time will not be pet owners anymore. So, why? Why do you have to say that?

The circle of life. People will get upset. Yeah, right. I actually did this to producer Ben and producer Anastasia on last Sunday. You cancelled on them to spend time with your dog? Well, I didn't cancel on them, but I went home early. Let me ask them if they think they were cancelled on.

Guys, last weekend, do you think Bree cancelled on you? Do you mean this weekend? No, the weekend just went on. Oh, yeah, true. The rugby game, yeah. No, I think you went home. That was fine. That was okay? You made a good decision

Because you needed to go early I thought she was going To the toilet And then she just Never came back I didn't even get a goodbye To be honest I met your dog

On the weekend Yeah oh you did too And she is a friggin handful She is so much So yes I understand You needing to bail To go home And look after that dog

I would also understand You avoiding going home At all costs To spend time with that dog Just I would also understand you avoiding going home at all costs to spend time with that dog just to give yourself an hour of sanity. Not yet. If you know the dog is safe, just push it out. Sometimes you should just stay out a little longer. Unless you know that dog can chew through doors or something.

It's safe in its bathroom, okay? It's got its crate. Yeah, until she finds the toilet rolls. Yeah, well. Oh, my God. Yeah. Look out. Bree's dog is adorable, but it has razor sharp teeth and it knows how to use them.

Speaking of, you know, like they are razor sharp. And I never knew this, but dogs' baby teeth fall out. I didn't know that either. I never knew that. Does that mean that there's a dog tooth fairy? That's a great question because I asked the vet because I was like, you know, what happens or whatever. Apparently, sometimes you can find little baby teeth lying around the house, but a lot of the time they do eat them. This is what will tell us what sort of pet owner you are.

Okay, this will be very telling. I know what question this is going to be already. If you find one of your dog's baby teeth, will you keep it? Will you put it in a little trinket box or your dog's baby teeth, will you keep it? Will you put it in a little trinket box or in your little dog baby book and will you keep it? Well, I won't keep all of them, but maybe a couple.

Bree and Clint. Obviously, long weekend this weekend, which is good. Good chance to get out there and have some brunch. Yeah, I'm going to an eco house. Are you? Yeah.

Oh, you'll be having no brunch. No, we'll take it with us. You'll be having composted vegetables next to your composted toilet. Hey, I'm keen for that. I love getting into nature. Showering in your composted rainwater. You dig a hole and you do your thing. I've got some science as to why the greatest brunch food of all time,

avocado on sourdough, tastes so good. Okay. I know you just go, oh, it's yum because it's yum. There's actually a chemical reaction that's going on, which makes avocado and sourdough so yum. And this is why a whole generation of people can't afford houses. Because of avocado. This chemical reaction is apparently, according to boomers,

this is the reason why we're not all on the property ladder already. So some scientists in Belgium have discovered that the reason that they taste so good together comes down to a molecule called hexanol. Actually, it might be pronounced different. Hexanol. Hexanol. That's probably how you say it. H-E-X-A-N-A-L.

I'm glad you corrected yourself. Hexanol. Let's go with that. Hexanol. It's a compound that combines carbon hydrogen and oxygen um and it's found in plants but it also comes out in the fermentation process of creating sourdough don't go to sleep this is interesting okay holy there's a reason why this is interesting okay um when you put the two things together they blend perfectly together and it's a hey stop

falling asleep i'm talking about yum stuff. All right? I feel like I'm back in high school. Let me tell you some other things. So can we agree avocado and sourdough is good together? It's great. Love it. Delicious.

It's on the list. Using this compound, there are other things that should go well together. But we're not trying it. Okay. Because we're scared of what society will think of us. See, now we're getting to the interesting stuff. Broaden your horizons. This, according to science and hexanal,

hexanal, sorry, are things that should taste good together. Should never blend the other one. Number one, caviar and white chocolate. Well, neither of us ever had caviar. No, we can't afford it. Yeah, no, it's gone. Were you just saying, no, I can't afford it?

No, no, I'm saying. That's what you were like, oh, well. I don't even know how much. Speak for yourself. Well, you probably could afford, you could probably afford a jar. Should we try caviar? You could probably afford a jar. It's more like you couldn't afford to have it every day.

I don't know how much caviar is. How much is caviar? Actually, Ben, that's your job before the end of the break. Find out how much caviar is. Yeah, just your standard, not the top of the range. And what's the number if it's under what amount we're getting it? Say it now. So how much is a can, like a small can?

Yeah, if what Ben gets is under $250, you and I are trying caviar on the show. Jeez, I was going to say $100. While he finds that, some other things that should taste good together. Oysters and kiwi fruit. Yuck. Yeah, I mean, yuck too. But they should go well together. Strawberries and parmesan.

I've had this. Is it good? It's quite good. I'll tell you where for it. All right. Strawberries and champagne. Oh, we know that's good together. Well, duh, yeah.

Vanilla and white asparagus. White asparagus? Yeah. I don't think I've ever had that. I think white asparagus is just asparagus. It just tastes the same. No, I think that's the word term for it. Otherwise, it's like purple asparagus? Yeah. I don't think I've ever had that. I think white asparagus is just asparagus. It just tastes the same. No, I think that's the word term for it. Otherwise, it's like purple asparagus.

I don't know. Broccoli and dark chocolate should taste quite good together. Oh, right. I can't see it. Stop trying to make people eat dark chocolate. Yeah, it's not a thing. And cheese and pineapple. We've all had that.

We were all kids in the 90s. Cheese and pineapple. Oh, yeah, like on pizza. That's good. And also, oh, yeah, that, not a thing. And cheese and pineapple. We've all had that. We were all kids in the 90s. Cheese and pineapple. Oh, yeah, like on pizza. That's good. And also, oh, yeah, that, yeah. Yeah. So I was thinking of on the little toothpicks. What were you thinking of?

Oh, right. Yeah, on pizza. Pineapple and pizza. Yeah, we're down for that. We like that. Producer Ben's in with the caviar results. Ben, how much for one can of caviar? $434.

Get out of here. It's 100 grams. It's, what? For 100 grams? Yeah. Right out of here. It's 100 grams. It's, what? 400 grams? Yeah. Right. Oh shit, that is expensive, isn't it? It's out of stock at the moment, so unfortunately I can't get it.

Maybe I didn't want to spend the $250, so I'm quite glad it wasn't too expensive. How many people do you think did indoor gardening with a flatmate that they were stuck with during lockdown. Well, you can sign me up for one point. No, you don't count. Why not? Because that's like saying I count. Yeah. No, that's your partner.

Well, technically, oh yeah, technically not a flatmate at that time. This is stats on how many people did it with a non-romantic housemate. Oh, so they weren't together beforehand. No, and probably not together afterwards either. It might just be a bit awkward. The stats have been released by the company. This is quite interesting. The company that owns Match.com, Tinder, Hinge, and Plenty of Fish.

Did you know that all those dating apps are owned by the same company? No, I didn't realize that. I think that one company has ended up buying all the others out. Yeah. You should be able to get a super gold pass, which allows you access to all of them. So you only have to open one app, but all the singles from all the apps are in this one super app. Yeah, I feel like they don't want to make people too sad, so they don't offer that option. Okay, so they've compiled data of people in the States during lockdown. Okay.

And they found that 25% of single people who got some action during lockdown got it with a non-romantic flatmate. A quarter of singles did it with a flatmate. Where else are you going to get it from, I guess? Well, good question. 45% of people who were single and got some during lockdown actually burst their bubble and went out. No, naughty naughty but this is in the states okay where they don't have covid under control they don't have rules so is it horny single people that have caused the um explosion

in covid cases in the starts in the states is that what we can deduce from this well to be honest it wouldn't surprise me at all because i mean we, we've had the stories here in New Zealand. There's been the stories in Australia where that has caused a few different, you know, outbreaks. That's for sure. Booty calls. Yeah. You couldn't stick it out. I guess if there's no end in sight to your lockdown, you don't know how long it's going to be.

People have needs. Well, try telling. Is that something you can plead in court? You go, Your Honour, I submit that people have needs. Try telling my friend who's been having a dry spell for three years that if they can do it, you can do it. I've got a question, a very personal question, and I'm going to ask you, and I'm prepared to answer the question too. And why don't we chuck Producer Ben in this question as well. Has anyone ever broken the golden rule of don't

plough the flat garden if you know what I mean. Don't go there with a housemate. Bree, have you ever? I'm just trying to think. I've lived in quite a few different houses including uni accommodation. Yeah, I'm going to have to say that

I definitely... That's a yes. That say that I definitely That's a yes Definitely That's a yes That's a yes Okay, producer Ben Yeah, I have a long time ago, yeah In a flat Have you?

We lived at home No This is news from the people who bought you the Pi Awards Who are great New Zealanders, by the way Did you even get to go to the Pie Awards, Bree? No, something came up, but I was very devastated about it. Last year, you and I both got invited. I think I had a baby and something else for you,

and we missed it. I had my best pie dress ready. And to be fair, we missed out on a great event. I've been before. The Pie Awards are like the New Zealand version of the Oscars, where they just award the best pie in New Zealand. Anyway, COVID has ruined the pie awards for 2020. The event can't happen.

But the people who started the pie awards have just launched the follow-up to it, I guess you would say, the younger brother to the pie awards, which is Sausage Roll Awards. Yeah, apparently this is the first time they've done it. Yeah. Genius. First time they've ever done it. Unpopular opinion, a sausage roll just as good as a meat pie.

Yeah. I would say. Unpopular opinion, a bakery combo if you're getting a pie and a V is incomplete without a sausage roll. I get them all. I get both. Yeah, pie, sausage roll. I can't pick between the two.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The sausage roll is like the chips to the burger combo. Absolutely. You might as well grab it. I agree. Sausage roll of the year has been crowned. And before I tell you where it is, do you want to know the criteria of what makes an award-winning sausage roll? Yep.

This is what the guys are looking for when they're going, hmm, do you have the best sausage roll? So, first of all, they judge it on quality of sausage. Yes, I always judge quality of sausage, to be honest. Yeah, me too. But it's not all about the quality of the sausage. Sometimes it's about how you use it. Oh, yeah, you know, sometimes it's quality over quantity. True, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But, you know, it's every case by case. One of the other criteria is colour of the sausage roll. I do look for that too. Golden pastry and then deep brown sauce is what you're looking for. Too much white in the sauce and you know there's too much fat in it, I think. Yeah, I don't mind if it's a little bit undercooked, a little bit pink. I mean, who knows? In a sausage roll?

Yeah, why not? It's beef. No, you crazy woman. No, no, no, no. Makes it juicy. Cook your sausage roll through. I hate that film that you get on the roof of your mouth from a sausage roll sometimes when it's too fatty.

I don't know what you're talking about. It's like a greasy layer. It's like a greasy layer that goes over the top of your mouth. Oh, that sounds terrible. Anyone who's indulged in a cheap gas station sausage roll will know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah, you don't go there. The pastry is another judging criteria, obviously. The pastry is another judging criteria, obviously. The pastry is key.

And the final category they judge best sausage roll on is a category called shrinkage. Oh, right. What they do is they cut the sausage roll in half and they look inside to see, once cooked, how much of the shell is still taken up by the sausage. Makes sense. Grower or a shower. Exactly right. You know, for the sausage roll. Yeah, and I can reveal that New Zealand's best grower and shower is,

actually this deserves a drumroll as well, none other than the man who also makes New Zealand's best pie, Patrick Lamb at Gold Star Bakeries in Ritua and Taupo. Pat Lamb. You've come up with the goods, Pat Lamb. He's come through again. Mate. And I mean fitting as his last name's Lamb as well, isn't it?

He's the Richie McCaw of bakeries. Nice work, Patrick. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. All right, birthday banger heading into the long weekend.

It's got to be a good one. We'll figure out what was number one on these three people's 16th birthday. Let's kick it off with Caleb. G'day, Caleb. Hey, Caleb. How you going? Hello, team. How are we?

Oh, my goodness, that's my SingStar song. Yes, that sung this on SingStar, didn't they? Yeah. Yes, and Colby Calais Bubbly. I reckon this song was more famous on SingStar than it was on the radio.

You know? I love this song. It survived for a generation because of that. Okay, you got a good birthday banger as well, Jess. Wait there. We'll do one more for Sean.

Let's get Sean on. Hey, Sean. Hello, Sean. Good, guys. How you going? Good, mate. What's happening in your world? Oh, you know, just at work trying to not do a lot, really.

Good. Good. Good attitude. Let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday, Sean? October 1st, 79. All right. You were 16 in 1995 on the 1st of October.

And in the mid-90s, this had a number one hit. Woo. Woo. Love it. Shaggy Mr. Boombastic. Do you like it, Sean? It's a tune. I remember that. Has Shaggy aged well Boombastic Do you like it Sean? It's a tune I remember that

Has Shaggy Has Shaggy aged well Do we think? Um I don't know I mean musically I don't mean physically I mean like

Oh right The songs The songs like It Wasn't Me When she caught me Banging on the sofa Yeah Do they hold up in 2020?

I wouldn't say It's not dictating Whether Sean's gonna win Birthday Banger or not I'm just curious As to whether we think I mean it's. It's not dictating whether Sean's going to win birthday banger or not. I'm just curious as to whether we think. I mean, it's holding up better than some of Akon's songs. But, you know, yeah, it's all right.

I'm going to go ahead and vote for, oh, is that a Shaggy and Jamelia for me? I'm going Shaggy Boombastic. You're going Shaggy? Oh, yeah, me too. I'm in. Sean, congratulations. You've just won birthday banger. Oh, he's gone.

It's Shaggy and Boom Buster You know what's interesting about that song? What's that? I have a friend back home in Aussie His name is Josh Some people might follow him on social media His name is Hi Josh Oh yeah

And he went and auditioned for Australia's Got Talent Did he do that song? He did that song And he does the voice exactly how Shaggy sounds. Yeah, right. And he got through. Oh, that's good stuff. Yeah, and then he failed because he didn't have anything else he could do. No, I was going to say, you've got to wonder whether the world needs another Shaggy.

Yeah, exactly. Bree and Clint. This story is really tripping me out Because I just read that scientists Have discovered A new organ Inside the human body Clint Have you heard this? A new organ that they didn't know about

A new organ this is so buzzy And I'm not joking around here It's a real story Secret penis No biggest bone in the body actually They're saying the femur I thought the secret penis was the biggest bone in the body I was like, ooh

No, it's researchers in the Netherlands And they're actually They were actually studying prostate Cancer at the time And after examining certain like CT and PET scans They found That there's an unidentified organ in the human brain. Really?

Like in the brain. Inside the brain? Well, in the head actually, but it's right near the brain. Apparently, it is a really large set of salivary glands. Salivary glands? Salivary. Is that how you say it? Is that where saliva comes from?

Well, they're saying they've been named the tubarial salivary glands located behind. Sorry, Brie. I don't mean to be a doctor here, but I think the word you're looking for is tubaca. Okay. Wait. The tubarial.

I think the scientific word for it is. It's those glands. That's why they named it tubarial. I think the scientific word for it is... It's those glands. That's why they named it Chewbacca. Yeah. Like that. Anyway, sorry to correct you. Please carry on. They've been located behind the nose in the nook where the nasal cavity meets the throat.

So that's the part of your nose... Where you get your COVID test done. That's, yeah, the part of your nose that's always blocked and you actually don't have that at all. Excuse me. I've got 70% nose function in one nostril today. That time you tried to breathe out your nostril the other day, and it was like. Look, I'm in quarantine for a reason, okay? Yeah, I know.

So, yeah, this is where you would have, like, around the area, you would have got the COVID test the other day. Right, I don't mean to poo-poo your story, but this is a boring organ. It doesn't do anything for me. No, it creates saliva. Yeah, that's fine. I've already got too much of that. It moistens the throat.

Yeah, congratulations, organ. Sometimes you need that. Find me a good organ. Find me like a dormant organ that better processes alcohol so I don't have a hangover. Find an organ that I'm not using which makes me a better singer or something like that. Or like a second heart would be good. Or a second stomach. Who doesn't need a second heart?

Or a dessert stomach. Because you know what I always find fascinating is that the appendix, you know how sometimes people's appendix bursts and you have to have them out. You haven't had your appendix out, eh? No, my wife has though. Oh yeah. Crazy. We as humans have developed or um pretty much yeah grown into a space where we don't need technically evolved

yeah evolved that's the word we don't need an appendix anymore is it because we used to eat grass is that what the appendix was for probably grass and dirt and again this is this is i'm the doctor on the show here so i don't know why I'm asking you But isn't that buzzy that you can live without that organ completely You know some people This is crazy Some people are born without it Really?

Yes That is some evolutionary stuff They're starting to see people being born without it And this is what I've tried to explain to you about my small nipples It's the same thing. It's evolution. Are we talking about your two nipples or your fourth and third nipple? No, no, no.

My tiny, tiny man nipples. I'm part of the evolutionary chain. Men don't need nipples. I'm the missing link. I'm the step between this. My son, if I ever have one, he'll have no nipples when he comes out. I'm evolution in process, baby. Yeah, but how would you tell if it was cold or not?

Geez, big day on the Bree and Clint show. Not only have we already had a segment of our signature aviation news, now we're lucky enough to have some of our equally signature maritime news. Would you say a busy show or a slow show? That's not for me to decide. Right. That's for the good listeners of? That's not for me to decide. Right. That's for the good listeners of the HMS Bree and Clint to decide. Today's Maritime News should pique your interest if you are a fan of the boat film Titanic.

Was a fan. Great film. It's no spoilers. I haven't seen it. No spoilers. It's based on, you know it's based on it. No spoilers! Okay, no spoilers.

True events. There is a plan to go into the Titanic, in a submarine obviously, and retrieve the radio. Right. I don't mean the radio on which they listen to 1912 Brie and Clint drive home show. Yeah, what radio? The radio that was used to broadcast the Titanic's final distress call. The black box. No. No, it wasn't a Morse code machine either, actually.

No, the radio. There was never a black box. The ship's, well... Not in 1912. Well, someone needs to tell Stan that. That song's also based on a true story. It is. So the radio's there.

It's apparently one of the most prized items in all maritime history. Why? Because the Titanic is the world's most famous shipwreck, and that's the radio that broadcasts the last known coordinates of the Titanic. It's the radio they use to call for help. Right, but they wouldn't be able to get anything off of it. No, no. So it's not like a black box.

No, they can't go on and check out the presets and like, oh, I wonder if they were a rock fan or a George fan. Like it'll be all like... Corroded. Corroded and eaten away and stuff. This is part of the problem. So the whole Titanic, they reckon, will be gone in the next couple of decades. Yeah, I remember you and I talking about that.

It's eroding. It's eroding. Because it's literally like really, really far under the ocean now. And because it's steel, it's just rusting away and just the ocean currents are eating it. I love that they'd be such a massive group of people because these stories come out every like however long. Yeah. Where they're going back down to the Titanic to pull something back up

call Leo baby we're going back in what do we want to get this time guys the main issue with going in is that people say

look that's a grave site there's human remains on the boat and it should be left entombed it should be left as a tomb to the people

who passed away 1500 people died on the Titanic however they've been into the Titanic 200 times, and not once has anybody found any human remains inside the Titanic. Really?

Yeah. Carried away by currents, eaten by fish, whatever it is. God, this is getting grumbless. Isn't it? What if they... Anyway, they're saying, let us go and get the radio. They're saying, please let us go and get the radio. And then they'll want something else, and they'll go back down there.

Let us get some plates. What else? What have they gotten from the Titanic? Do you know? No, I don't. What have they pulled out of that thing?

I think they've got stuff from around it because stuff is scattered all over the ocean floor. Did they ever find that old woman's necklace? No. They didn't find that?

No, I mean, I haven't seen the film. That's worth heaps of money. But I'm pretty sure that's not in the Titanic. Oh. Maybe she threw it from the research vessel. Oh. But again, I haven't seen the film. That's worth heaps of money. But I'm pretty sure that's not in the Titanic. I mean, Mishy threw it from the research vessel. But again, I haven't seen the Titanic. No spoilers.

You don't know. It could still be down there. Maritime News is brought to you by... Actually, no shipping companies want to be associated with this segment. Or this news either, actually. So, let me just wrap it up. Zedding, Spree and Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles.
