Can you hear me out there? Chick Chick 1-2, come in. Is everybody present? Brie, you here? Yep. Yeah, good. Ben, you here? Yep. Yeah, you're here. And Ellie, you're here? Present. Turn my mic on, please.

Turn your mic on. Thank you, thank you. God, you're such... That's sexism in the workplace. You've hit the glass ceiling, Ellie. She's being a bit stroppy, I think. Excuse me, is my mic on? Did you hear that tone she had with you, Ben? I feel like it's one of her fundamental...

Oh, can you turn my mic on, please? He was being a smartass. He was going up and down my mic on, please? He was being a smartass. He was going up and down the fader, actually. He was being a smartass. Up and down the fader. Yeah. Is that what you call it these days? That's what I call it.

Guys, I'm in a good mood because I've just unlocked Friday-oke for tomorrow. Do we put Friday-oke in the podcast? Yeah, of course we do, mate. It's the best part of the week. I'm excited about tomorrow's one. I think you'll be excited too. I'm not going to tell you because I want you to find out. Oh, is there any benefit in keeping it a secret?

I don't think so. Probably not actually. No, because she knows before we do the show anyway, right? Yeah, let's reveal it now. I'll just do it. Can you put it on my wall please, Ben? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Put it on my wall.

Podcasters get to find out what they don't want to tune in for. Yeah. Tomorrow. What's the date tomorrow? The 1st. The 1st of? November. Which means it's officially.

No. Christmas season. No, it's not. So we will be singing the iconic. Get the fuck out of here. Christmas classic. It is the 1st of December and everyone knows that is. No.

That is a stretch. Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. That is a stretch. Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. That's a stretch. Do we have to sing this version or the 2019 Mariah version? We have to attempt this one, which I think will sound like the 2019 one. I just want you for my own.

All you could ever want. Take it, Ellie. Take it, Ellie. Shut up, Ellie. Make my wish come true. All I want for Christmas. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Can she do it? All I want for Christmas is you. Baby! So that's what you can look forward to there. By the way. That's why Ellie doesn't do Friday. Isn't she wonderful? Do you sing to your partner? Oh, not really. That's why Ellie doesn't do Friday O'Clock. Isn't she wonderful? Do you sing to your partner? Oh, not really.

That's creepy. You should. You should, it'd be nice. Thanks. By the way, I've remembered what my forgotten piece of admin was from yesterday. Oh, yes. And it's fairly important, I feel. Don't groan.

I've never told you what it is yet. No, you'll be happy about this, actually. Does it benefit any of us? It benefits you directly. Okay, well I do want to know then. Yeah, see? Thank you very much. God, all I do is try and make this better for everybody else

and somehow I'm a big pain in the ass. Oh, come on. I think that maybe, and this is big for me to say, I think maybe we should change the name of our secret podcast group. I've been saying this the whole time. Don't pretend like this has been your idea. What did I say the other day? I said it looks like it's a Big Bang Theory fan page.

Which it is. Which it is. No, it is not. Well, it's your Big Bang Theory fan page. It is not. So those who are not up to date with the joke, we have our Facebook page, a public one, and then we've got a group, which is like a closed group that anyone can join

where you can share things, ask questions, that sort of thing. And currently we very generously attributed the entire group to Brie and her fascination with her favourite TV show. That's quite nice, yeah. It's currently called the Brie Thomas L Big Bang Theory Fan Page Bazinga. And after almost three weeks of existence, it only has 301 members. Because everyone agrees with me and hates the Big Bang Theory.

So I will do you a deal. I'll do you a deal. You can choose the new name of the page, but we leave the cover image that Ellie created until December 31st. I know what I want it to be. Clint drank horse semen. No, all right, I'll give you a choice. Clint has super tiny nipples. You make the choice.

Damn it, my two kryptonites. Why don't we just call it what I originally wanted to call it? What was that? I can't remember. Oh, good. Good work. Look, look, look. It's not urgent.

I mean, the page is there. It's doing its thing. Why don't you take 24 hours to sleep on it? And tomorrow you bring us the new name Of our podcast page Okay Just take your time Yeah

Okay Might be next week then I'm busy I'm busy tonight You're too busy to think Sorry I've got to go My Uber Eats are here Alright

Here's today's podcast Everybody Now let me see you dance Zams Brie And Clint Today's podcast, everybody. Hello, Governor. How you going? Bree and Clint here, ready for another rock-rolling radio rodeo. Are you hot? Yeah, I think you've noticed.

No, you've got sweaty pits. Oh, all right. You never usually do. No, and you know what I'm thinking about this? No. Is this because you're using that organic deodorant again? No, I tried that. It was a disgusting mess.

So you're using normal deodorant, but you're still sweaty. I'm using my deodorant. This is another one of those situations you had. They've changed it. I'm sure they've changed it. I've used the same deodorant. Sorry if this is TMI. I've used the same deodorant for probably 10 years is TMI. I've used the same deodorant for probably 10 years. Why is that TMI?

Because of sweaty pits. Oh, who cares? It's not that big of a deal. Okay, then I'm going in. It's the one that doesn't give you white marks on your t-shirt. That's the one everyone wants to know about. That's why I use it. And now, every day, look at this shit. Look at this. What's going on? I can't work like this.

I'm in the media. I'm in work like this. Your pit's so sweaty. Okay, I'm in the media. Oh, don't pretend you're fancy. Don't pretend. I'm in the public eye. I can't walk around looking like both of my armpits are crying, you know? Can't. They look very moist.

They are damp. Very. No, you know what might have happened? Because you switched deodorants and you cheated. My body's not used to it anymore? No, maybe the organic deodorant clogged up your pores. No, if anything, it'd be the other one that clogs up your pores. That's how it stopped you from sweating.

No, they put chemicals in it to stop it doing that. I know. All I wanted to do was eliminate the aluminium that's in deodorant because that's the active ingredient in deodorant that stops you from sweating. What have we learned after this? Don't use organic products. They're crap. Well, not all of them.

Apparently a natural deodorant, and you probably already know this too. Aloe vera. No, it's not designed to stop you from sweating. It's just designed to stop you from smelling. That's it. So you still sweat, but it kills the bacteria that cause the odour from sweating. That's a crappy product. Yeah, I know.

Why would you put that out? You're telling me. You need to go back in there, science the crap out of it, because I want it for both. Yeah, I know. In the meantime, I look like I've had Finding Nemo in a headlock. You know what we can do? I can take you to the centre where they inject your armpits with Botox

I'd be dead keen for that yeah I want to get it too yeah okay I want to get it in my moustache imagine how young my armpits would look too

I'd have the armpits of a 22 year old yeah you can't smile anymore with your armpits though so you need to think about that you can't lift your arms over your head

no next on the show it's like family health diaries on the show this afternoon I've got an issue with my cat and I'm going to take it to the public. I've been inundated with messages from the public about how I can cure a certain problem that my cat Ziggy has at the moment. You pee on it?

I'm going to, wow, you say that. Get the cat to pee on it. You say that. I'm going to bring you some of the most popular ones next. We can discuss together if these are remedies that should be used on the family cat. Living cats? Living cats. Yeah, living cats. I'm trying to help a dead cat here,

mate. Bree and Clint, this is ZM. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. I've got two cats. I have a cat called Ziggy and a cat called Bowie. I called that because we got them when David Bowie died. They're designer cats. We love David Bowie.

Let's name our cats after him. They are designer cats. They've got a lot of issues. Which means they have quite a few issues. They're pescatarian cats? No, they're not. Oh, no, what, gluten-free cats? No, when we got them, they were paleo.

Yeah. That is the most... They're not, they're not. They're not. I know, but that is the most ridiculous thing. The lady we bought them off. So we have designer cats. Yes, we do. But we didn't buy them from a breeder.

We bought them off Trade Me. This lady bought them and she couldn't keep them anymore. She was going overseas. So we bought them off her. And when we picked them up, she goes, Oh, by the way, they're paleo. What is that woman on that she thinks cats are paleo? The hardest bit about them being paleo

was taking them to CrossFit four times a week. That was the real... God. That's a good joke. Anyway, there's an issue... Wouldn't it be cat fit? There's an issue with one of them at the moment, Ziggy. Thank you, Ben. Appreciate that, Ben.

She has an eye problem and it's a recurring eye problem. And long story short, I don't want to bore you with the details. Probably because you're not feeding her paleo. Probably because I've taken her off her paleo diet. I'm feeding her too many legumes. Oh, my God, it's paleo 101. She's got an eye issue. It's very expensive to treat, but we have pet insurance, so it's okay.

The cat's going to be okay. I put it on Instagram the other day that she had her eye problem, and boy do people have a lot of opinions on what is the right thing to do when it comes to an animal. Not feed them paleo. Not feed them paleo is a big one. People love to come through with

oh mate, it's just a bloody cat. Why don't you put it down? It's got a sore eye. I was like, it's got a sore eye, not a death sentence. But that one comes through a bit from people who don't you put it down? It's got a sore eye. It's got a sore eye, not a death sentence. But that one comes through a bit from people who don't get it. I'm like, you wait till you get an animal mate and you fall in love. But then there were some home remedies. And I thought I could share these home remedies with you.

And you tell me if you think any of these are a good eye to treat, a good idea to treat the cat that has an infected eye. Well, growing up on a farm, I hope you know that. Your animal knowledge is tip top. Well, growing up on a farm, I hope you know that. Your animal knowledge is tip top? Well, it's quite good. And sometimes you have to improvise when you live on a farm. Yeah, okay. We don't have a vet close.

We live in suburban Auckland, but the same rules may apply. Well, I'm just saying, if it works, it works. So these all came into my Instagram DMs about how to cure the cat's eye. One, use a cold tea bag. Wipe the eye with the tea bag and then squeeze some leftover tea into the eye of the cat. It helps and it is cheap as chips. I'm going to say no.

No? Okay, well, you're not going to like the next one. Try some warm salted water, but make sure it's pink Himalayan salt. I have heard salty water does do good things for infection. I guess it's just sterile water, right? Yeah. It just can clean out the infection.

We'll put that on the maybe list. These are other remedies. Like pink Himalayan salt. Yeah, right? Because it's got positive ions or something. And you don't get as many calories. Yeah, that's true as well. This is another remedy offered to me to help fix Ziggy, my cat's eye.

Put a brass coin on the cat's eye for five minutes. Do we have brass coins in New Zealand for one? Also, have you met a cat? How am I going to put a brass coin on a cat for five minutes? How am I going to get a cat to sit still and understand that I'm putting a brass coin on its face in an effort to heal it? Yeah, probably not going to work.

I'm going to go straight ahead and say no to that one. And then the last remedy I've been offered by someone, and I do appreciate anyone who wants to help, and thank you for the messages, but this is the last one. Put some of the cat's urine into its eye. It's sterile, and it worked for my son. What?

Wait, did they put cat's wee on his son worked for my son What? Wait Did they put cat's wee on his son's eye Or his wee? This is the bit I don't know Or is they referring to their cat as a son? I don't think it's that I think they're talking about

I don't think they're talking about a real human It's very concerning If you put cat urine on your son's eye I don't know whether to call SPCA or SIFS. Like, I don't know how to go to. Yeah, that's pink eye waiting to happen, isn't it? Thank you again for the messages. We just went to the vet and got some antibiotics.

Also, you know what else doesn't work? What's that? Putting cat's wee on a bed. My dad, very annoyed at our cats all the time Doesn't make them clean Don't you love hearing a story Where someone essentially finds treasure I love the thought of finding treasure

Yeah didn't you used to have a metal detector I did at one point yes And I found nothing Nerd alert. A metal detector's not nerdy. Nah, it's cool. Yeah? Well, what if I find something cool with it?

Did you? No. Anyway, this guy did find something cool, not with a metal detector though. He was a fisherman in southern Thailand. If you've ever been to the beach of Koh Samui. Oh, I love, yeah, yeah. It's beautiful.

Beautiful part of Thailand. Anyway, this guy was a full-time fisherman. He was a local. He was a struggling fisherman, actually. He used to earn about 400 baht per day. Oh, yeah. Which is about $21 a day-ish, roundabouts. Anyway, he was on the beach one day.

20 bucks. I know. I literally just said that. Did you say that? I'm sorry. I did a Google. Anyway. $20.66.

Sorry. I was trying to help contribute. No, I literally said it and you were not listening. Anyway, he spotted a six and a half kilo piece of something on the beach and he thought that it was whale vomit, which you laugh, but whale vomit is worth a ton of money. It is. What's good about whale vomit?

I'll tell you why. And anyway, he found it and he goes, this looks like whale vomit. He'd never really seen it before, but he kind of had heard what kind of consistency it was and stuff. Is it because all the whales are throwing up plastic bags now? And those cost 15 cents each from New World these days. So it's very, very valuable. No, that's not the reason. The reason is, is a very good question.

Anyway, apparently there were some neighbours who saw it and they were like, we think that's whale vomit as well. So they took a few samples from the big chunk and they sent it in to these people to test it. Anyway, turns out they confirmed that it was a big chunk of whale vomit or at least 80% of the chunk was confirmed whale vomit. Yeah. Anyway, based on a piece of whale vomit that was sold

in November 2016, which was 80 kilos of whale vomit, and based on how much that sold for, this piece of whale vomit. And based on how much that's sold for, this piece of whale vomit is worth $470,000. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Isn't that ridiculous? You still haven't told me why we're paying so much for whale vomit. 80 kilos is a lot of anything. But why are we paying half a million dollars for a chunk of whale vomit?

So the whale, especially sperm whales, when they vomit up, I guess, whatever they're eating, apparently it really stinks at the start, but then it actually solidifies, and it's a really sought-after ingredient in certain really prestigious perfumes. Oh, that is disgusting. So when you...

That's when I found out that most lipsticks are made from fish scales. I was like, what's wrong with people? Well, so when you're spraying yourself with Chanel No. 5, apparently they're bringing out a new one called Chanel Chunder. Yeah, exactly right.

Isn't that disgusting? Made from... Well, congratulations to our Thai fisherman. It looks disgusting too, can I say? And his big chunk of whale vomit. Yeah. Anyway, he's quitting his job. So you would.

Yeah, well, if you're earning $20.60 a day, you could, couldn't you? Yeah, he should reinvest, get himself another whale. Good to go. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This is The Latest.

Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Oh, Dean, the royals. Someone has done an article saying how much they would actually earn if they lived in the real world and they weren't royal. It's so petty. Like, someone has a lot of spare time. Here's what they did. They calculated, judging by their experience

and different things they've worked on, if they were real people, what their job would be. Like, for example, well, Meghan was an easy one. She'd be an actress and a very experienced actress. So she'd probably be on, like, $600,000 each year. So $600,000 for Meghan Markle. What about for the other royals? Yeah, so she's $600,000.

William got about $105,000. He'd be, like, a sergeant in the army. Harry got like, I think, $50,000 as being a part of a charity organisation. Camilla Parker Bowles slammed. She got slammed. $33,000 as a secretary is what they said she'd be doing. Nothing wrong with being a secretary. No, not at all.

But very different from the life she would be living now. She's in line to be, I don't know what she's going to be. I don't think she'll be queen when her husband is king. No, she won't, I don't think. Yeah, interesting. Okay, yeah, anyone else? It was in there. And, of course, Kate.

She was on, I can't remember the role, but it was like a $45,000, you know, like management kind of level role. So she was also pretty. She had a good career, like a good of level role. So she was also pretty, she had a good career, like a good education at that. Yeah, yeah. I felt like she went to a really good uni and stuff.

Yeah, but I think she got a good uni, but because I don't know that they ever did anything with those qualifications, you know? Like you can be, you can have a degree. It doesn't mean someone's going to pay you the money to go and do the job. As I found out when I left the New Zealand Broadcasting School Polytech, You can have a degree. It doesn't mean someone's going to pay you the money to go and do the job. As I found out when I left the New Zealand Broadcasting School Polytech,

you've still got to do the work. I was like, but I've got a degree. Can I have that money? And they're like, no, you've got to. Oh, yeah, I didn't finish this. Yeah, probably why they didn't give you the money. That's a great point. I have a question. So obviously Meghan Markle,

she's the one that would be earning the most money out of everyone. Yeah, because she was a successful actress. Yeah. I have a question. Meghan Markle, when did she come into the royal family? When did she become a royal? A year ago? Two years ago, maybe?

She was married in just over a year and a half ago. Here's my question. So technically, when Lorde released that song Royals and Meghan Markle, because that was one of the biggest songs in the world, she would have sung that song and in that song is, we will never be royals. How awkward for her. Yeah, and she's like, I'll show you. She now can't sing that song anymore. Yeah, it's not for her.

Oh, look at me, I'm a royal. You've thought more about this than the people who wrote that article. Like, you guys should just sit down and sit down and I'll be, because that is the serious thing. Clint and I are entranced by the royals. We love this crap. And that's Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent live out of Los Angeles.

Back in a minute. Zed-Em. Zed-Em's Bree and Clint, the podcast. It in a minute. Bree and Clint. ZM. ZM's Bree and Clint. The podcast. It is Halloween today. A day when people dress up as things and go. Last year we dressed up. Ask for lollies. We did, didn't we?

Yeah. What did you, oh, you came as my dad. Yes. Big Steve. Yes. Pretty simple outfit, mustache, cowboy hat. Chicken shirt. Looked pretty good.

And I also kind of, I came as a reverse cowgirl. Yeah, we were weirdly similar in the outfits we had. If you like Halloween, this might not be for you this break, but I've got to an age in my life where I'm just going to come out and say it, Brie. I think I'm just going to come out and say it. I hate Halloween. I hate Halloween. What's wrong with Halloween? I hate Halloween. Halloween is good because it gives you an excuse to go to a dress-up party and get lit. And we all know when you dress up, you get way more...

Friendly. Friendly. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right right But you could have a dress up party anytime This is what I hate about Halloween Yeah but people don't get into it as much This is what I don't like about Halloween To fake And I know I sound like everybody's parents

But maybe I've reached that age Maybe it finally infected me It's a made up holiday It's not a real thing It's not a New Zealand thing It's just been shipped over from America And now all of a sudden we have to do it And everybody expects you to do it

And now you've got to get some lollies. So is every holiday. They're all made up. What do you think Valentine's Day is? It's pointless. Well, I guess that comes under the made up bit. Like, what are we celebrating? What's the thing that we're celebrating?

Like, oh, I'm so excited for what? Death. What's the thing? Is it death? Oh, well, I don't know. Is it death? Spirits? Ghouls?

Scary stuff. I don't know. You know the main reason, you know the main bee in my bonnet when it comes to Halloween? It's all the waste that's involved. I see ads on TV for plastic pumpkin buckets and that spiderweb stuff,

which is just plastic, and all those shitty decorations that you're going to put up. You're going to put these things up, and then tomorrow, you're going to put them in the bin. And all the candy wrappers, they're going to go in the bin. And it's going to go in the bin tomorrow. And it's not even that scary.

Those spiderwebs suck. Okay, Dad. It's not even that scary. You know what's scary? Ocean plastic. You know what's scary? Dead turtles. You know what's scary?

Whales with plastic bags in their stomachs. Okay, that's what's scary. Ooh, terrifying. Are you going to get rid of Christmas too, you Grinch? I love Christmas. It's exactly the same. That's all that junk. We have a No Trick-or-Treaters sign on our door.

See, I can get on board the No Trick-or-Treaters because, I mean, you know what? That's an American thing. I hate when I hear little kids trick-or-treating down the street and I panic because I don't know when Halloween is. I don't have eats of candy in my house. And you know what? If I do have candy in my house, I don't want to give it to the children.

I want to eat it. So what you're saying is you're down for the drinking part of Halloween and you're not down with the trick-or-treating part? Yeah, I'm down for the good part. Yeah, I'll give you a couple of years, mate. You'll come round to my side. The latest couple to bite the dust in terms of asking their guest to do something crazy at their wedding is a couple on Reddit.

Anyway, they're absolutely copping flack from a lot of people. It's actually quite split. But I want to see what you think about it because they have said that every year on their anniversary they like to wake up early, go to the beach and watch the sunrise together. Oh, that's lovely. It's a beautiful way to commemorate your union. That's when I know it wouldn't be working out if I was dating someone

and they suggested to do that. I'd be like, how about we sleep in and then when we wake up, we cook bacon. And then we get drunk. That's my kind of relationship. Anyway, that's what this couple likes to do. So because of that, they have decided that they would like to have their ceremony at 5.30am and they've invited their guests to come and watch the sunrise as they say I do. It's a great way to keep the numbers down at your wedding.

It is. But, I mean, do you have the reception straight after? Yes. As a brunch? Yes. That's kind of cool. I don't mind a brunch. I think you have to maintain the momentum.

Day drinking, that's fine. Yeah, you've got to push through. So there's a couple of issues. One, how long does it take you? If you're going to a wedding, how long does it take you to get ready? That's a good point. You know, are you putting a... They're not thinking about the ladies, are they? Are you putting two hours, some ladies, two hours of it take you to get ready? That's a good point. They're not thinking about the ladies, are they? Are you putting two hours, some ladies

two hours of mahi in before that wedding? Nah, probably, I'm going to say a good 23 minutes. 23 minutes for you. The bride has to go through hair and makeup, you know? The bridesmaids. Yeah, that's so unfair to the bride and the bridesmaids. They're going to be up for midnight

but that's okay, that's their prerogative. She wants to get married at that time. She obviously wants to do it. Guest-wise, if the ceremony needs to happen at sunrise, which I assume is about 5.30. So you'd have to get there at 5. You'd have to get there at 5 at least. At least.

Because you want to be there, obviously, before the groom. And then it's all done and dusted by 6 a.m., the ceremony part. Yeah. So then what do you do? And then there's photos. So you're just milling around for photos for a bit. I do like they would have to go take photos because you know how there's always that awkward part

in between the ceremony and the reception? When they go and get the photos, yeah. Yeah, you could go home for a nap. Yeah, that's a great way to do it. Yeah, unless they're going to split the date, maybe you can split the date and then you go and have a break. Because if you don't, the day drinking that will start at six o'clock in the morning.

You won't last. No, there's no way you're making it to the evening. You'd have to wrap things by midday, which is okay too. But God, it throws your whole body out of whack. It's like daylight savings on speed. Literally. But anyway, the people on Reddit are really kind of down the middle. I'd like to know what people listening to this show think.

If you want to text us your thoughts. Do you think that it's okay to make your wedding ceremony at 5.30 in the morning? You know what? If they made the ceremony optional so you didn't have to go. Oh, what? So you just show up for the party afterwards? That's what people are saying. They're like, if you want to get married at 5.30, that's fine. But we can just all turn up to the reception. You can't do that. And you know what? So you just show up for the party afterwards? That's what people are saying. They're like, if you want to get married at 5.30, that's fine.

But we can just all turn up to the reception. You can't do that. And you know what? You're there to witness their big commitment to each other. That's the idea. Who gives a crap about the commitment ceremony? I don't. I just want the free booze.

Do you get invited to many weddings? Nah. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast. I know we said that this show was going to be a rugby free area for the next hour what about the game tomorrow night

you know just while we heal I'm excited for the game tomorrow night hey we get to watch the All Blacks play one more time I know and it's going to be excellent

it'll be great and the guys have done a great job so they deserve your support this is and we do this every now and then a little bit of hashtag

real talk to do with the All Blacks. And actually just to do with blokes in general. Whether you know the team or not, there's a guy on the team called Dane Coles. He's a hooker. He's a tough nut. Well, all rugby players are seen to be, you know,

the toughest of the tough. Yeah, yeah. Especially him. He's in there. He tackles from 100 plus kilo men and they come off. I mean, what about the picture of Kieran Reid and he's got blood all over his face? Exactly right.

And he's sitting in a press conference. He's just had the worst game of rugby of his career. And then he has to talk. And then he has to talk to these news reporters who are saying things to him like, do you think you took the game seriously enough? He's like, dude, my eye is like falling out of my head. And he speaks so well, can I say.

Holds himself together. When you're in situations like that. Think about these boys that are over there now. Think about the pressure that they would be feeling, not just from their teammates and on themselves, but from the fact that there's four million people going, I bloody expect you guys to win. I never, I never accept a loss from you,

and I expect you to win every time you play. Well, especially here in New Zealand, and this is coming from an Aussie, the hopes and dreams of a country literally are on that team's shoulders. Right. That's what it is. Yeah, it's a lot of pressure

for what are essentially young men and who are just rugby players at the end of the day. I don't want to put too much hype on it. They lost a rugby game and they'll be feeling it. But it doesn't matter the situation. If you're feeling the pressure, you're feeling the pressure. I thought this was really telling. So Dane Coles, who we were talking about,

plays for the Hurricanes, plays for the All Blacks. He was asked a question in a press conference and he just started crying. So you saw this is during this week in the lead up to the last game that they're going to have to play. Yeah. And they've already lost to England and you just see it get on top of them.

Have a listen to this. I thought it's a unique thing because you just don't hear guys like this showing this kind of emotion very often. No, it's been good. Sorry, that's true. Yeah, it's been good. Sorry, that's true. Yeah, it's been real good. Having my family here,

and I think the biggest thing for me is just the life experiences. Like, I never went overseas until I was about 15, and my kids have actually come up. They got to go to Disneyland. So, no, it's been good. Sorry. No, no, no, I didn't mean to cry either

Isn't it weird, eh? Like it's not It's only weird because You don't expect it And you don't see it often enough Look, obviously he didn't plan to do that It's raw emotion And obviously it's the

The release and the pressure Being kind of Just kind of It comes out in emotion and you know what I think even though obviously he didn't plan to do that but I think it's a very courageous and brave thing for a man like that who's in the public eye and he's meant to be

well people see them as a certain way like they're gods and like they're immortal you know and I think it does a really good thing for male culture. It's exactly what it is. And showing guys out there that it's okay to cry.

It's actually so normal and healthy to have a good cry. And it's important for young guys to see you cry too. Exactly right. It's important for young All Blacks fans, his kids, all sorts of things to see you as a strong dude be able to cry and handle your emotions in a healthy way rather than get drunk and go out there and punch a car window in. Yeah, and I'm so sick of that stigma that's always going around of,

oh, you're a man, we don't cry as men. You're a human being and you're meant to have a cry every now and then. I used to think like that and now I'm the biggest fan of a man cry I've cried on this show how many times have I cried on this show?

a couple Ben's saying four alright it's been a few I actually find it so attractive when a man has a cry I know that's probably not the right thing

to say right now it's a whole different category I actually find it really attractive because it shows that they're in touch with their emotion and they're not afraid to have a cry.

Yeah, absolutely. So as a show, we toe-tuckle what Dane Coles has done on the world stage there. And I feel like I have a bloody cry in New Zealand. Great. It's good stuff. Go the All Blacks. Bree and Clint, the podcast.

ZM. Over the long, long, long weekend, I went back to Aussie and something my family, we love to do because it's rare that we're all together in one place. Fight. Yes. So we love to have a fight and most of the time our dad... Same as my family.

Yeah, we set up a backyard ring and we just get in there. No. Really clear the air. To be honest, this story actually kind of is about a fight. Okay. We love to play board games. I know that sounds maybe kind of lame. I love it.

We love it. And we play all different types of games. One of the games we played on the weekend was Greed. It's kind of like Yahtzee if you've played Yahtzee before. But then we also went back to the classic Monopoly. Now that game is renowned for family fights a great way to have yourself removed from the well and usually it happens what towards the end of the game when someone's hogging all of the you know the properties and someone's on the way down and

they're making desperate moves also you've been playing the game for three hours so you are physically and mentally exhausted you've just had enough of facing the ones you love exactly right um this this fight actually monopoly fight started before the game even started okay and i'm sure this has happened before in families and when you're playing with friends and the fight uh monopoly fight was over which piece everyone was going to be. Classic. Are you going to be the dog? Are you going to be the ship? Are you going to be the car? No one is going to be the shoe because that one sucks.

Are you going to be the thimble? The thimble. Who is picking, if they have a choice, who is picking the thimble? Who is the guy, and I assume it's that Monopoly man who looks like the fat controller, who came up with these pieces? Mr. Monopoly.

Let's run through them because I know there's lots of variations on Monopoly. There's eight pieces. But for this conversation, we're going to talk about the eight classics, right? The original eight. Thimble. Yes. Wheelbarrow. Wheelbarrow.

Boot, which is shoe. The shoe. The dog. The Scottish Terrier, I believe it is. Scotty dog. The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang looking race car. Yes. The household old Chitty Bang Bang Looking Race Car. Yes. The Household Old School Iron.

Iron. Top Hat. Yeah, the Top Hat and, of course, the Battleship. Battleship. What are they meant to symbolise? What are they meant to do? I don't even understand. But it doesn't matter because everyone's got a favourite

and everyone has the one they don't want to be. And the problem is there are very few favourites and the crap pieces are always the same in everyone's mind. In your opinion, what is the best Monopoly piece and what is the worst? Best Monopoly piece is the race car. Worst Monopoly piece is the thimble. Interesting. I'm different. Okay. I, to be honest, growing up, I was always, because I'm a massive dog person,

was the Scottish Terrier. That is the best piece on the board. Look at it. I'd give that second best. It's got nearly the most detail. Look at his face. I'm going to say that's the best. And I'm going to say there's a few crap ones, isn't there?

Iron's right up there. Yeah, iron is up there. But, I mean, could be used as a weapon if the Monopoly game goes down. Wheelbarrow is a stone cold stinker. I think the worst is the old shoe. Who is picking the shoe? It's not even a nice shoe. No, it's an old crappy shoe.

If it was a stiletto, it'd be different, but no, yeah. Yeah, okay. A text has come through and I must admit, I agree with this text, because we're talking about these eight pieces. Yeah. In our Monopoly games, there was always a horse. Ah.

You know, and it was like rearing up and there was a guy that was like on the horse. Okay. Do you remember that piece? Do you guys remember that piece being in there as well? If you do, as a team, we remember it. It can go in. Do we remember that piece? It's a cowboy.

I like that piece. I think it's cool. Probably because it's an animal. Yeah, okay. Well, that can be included, sure. The cowboy and the horse. Yeah, in this conversation, you can put that in, sure. That one's included.

We want to know, though. Once and for all. We want to settle it. We want to settle this once and for all. And you can text us on 9696. What is the best Monopoly piece? Yeah. And what is the

ultimate worst? Yeah, I only really care about what's the worst. But yeah, I want to hear what you want. I do love the worst. Yeah, yeah. 0800DALZM.

You can text your Monopoly opinions to 9696. We'll try and get through this conversation without a fight. Which if we do, will be a Monopoly

first in itself. Shotgun Mayfair. You know, right? You know? And Park Lane. But you can't shotgun them. You'vegun Mayfair. You know, right? In Park Lane. You can't shotgun them. You've got to buy them. You've got to land on them first.

Yeah, that's the hardest bit though. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I do love the techs that are coming through on this. We're finally trying to get to the bottom of what is the best piece on a monopoly board? Coming into summer, heading away to the Batch, you know, there'll be a dusty old game there and there'll be a rainy day where you're going to have to pull it out. So let's see all the score here and now.

There's all types of fights over who's who and there's always the most popular pieces and then there's always the least popular. Yeah. We've decided we'd narrow it down to eight pieces. The original, we're saying the original eight, and then we added the horse. We're adding more, yeah. We added the horse.

We've also added the cannon now too. Your favourite is the... Race car. Race car. My favourite's the dog. Your least favourite... Thimble. Yeah, my least favourite is the old stinky shoe.

Can I just say one more thing? I also don't like the battleship. Why not? Not because I don't think it's cool, but it has no balance. Oh, it's not a sturdy piece. That piece gets knocked over a lot and that's why I would never choose the battleship.

Let's bring Kylie into the conversation. Hi, Kylie. Hi. Now, you're passionate. You've called through. You know your Monopoly pieces. Let's get the best out of the way first. What's the best piece on the board? Oh, the best piece for me, I don't know, it's probably different methodical child, but I like the wheelbarrow

because I thought I could keep my winnings in it. Oh, yeah, like a big wheelbarrow full of cash. At least you've picked a piece you're not going to get challenged for. Like no one's going to go, oh, no, Kylie, I want to turn on that wheelbarrow. No one wants the wheelbarrow, Kylie. What's the worst piece?

Well, the worst piece for me was my Nana would take away all of the pieces and give everyone a different coloured counter. What? When we argued and we couldn't agree on it, she'd go, well, screw yous all. Screw you, you get nothing. You have yellow, you have blue. A blue what? Like a counter, like a checker.

Oh. Like a little piece of plastic. Yeah, or the little ones you used to play that game with where you try and flip them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Smart and everything. Ruthless. Yeah, I like that.

I like that. Someone on the text machine, I said my dog's the favourite. This person disagrees. They said that is the worst piece on the board. The dog? Smug dog standing there and it's all its legs. What do dogs have to do with becoming a property mogul anyway? You can't even have dogs in most rental properties.

Yeah, well, I got a point there. You can't have a battleship on a rental property either. Yeah, true. I'm not here to fact check your opinion. Kathleen's here. Hi, Kathleen. Hi, how are you? Good.

Are there any members of your family that you're still not talking to over past Games of Monopoly? So we used to always fight over the thimble. The thimble? You wanted to be the thimble. We all wanted to be the thimble. Why? I don't know. Well, if you live in the

king country, you'd probably know why, but I didn't say online. No, you have to say now. What's big about thimbles in the King Country? Oh, no. You've got us intrigued now. Is it a shot glass? Do you use it in a bong?

Do you? Yeah, the actual thimble that goes on your thumb for sewing. Yeah. Oh, like a real one? Like a real one. Oh, buzzy. Yeah. And you guys would fight over? Like a real one. Oh, buzzy, Jay. So I think, yeah. What?

And you guys would fight over the thimble because of that reason? Because it represents the good times. You're like. Yeah. I love it. I love it. There'll be a whole new generation of Monopoly players out there fighting over the shoe now because it will represent doing a shoeie.

Yeah, true. You know? Kathleen, thank you for surprising us. Hey, can I just make a shout out to this lady in Tikwiti. She's just put on the massive Halloween show at her house and she does it all out of the kindness

of her own heart and her own pocket. She's the only one who does it here. Oh, that's beautiful. That lady deserves a thimble. More than a thimble. Hey, take your thimble around, Kathleen. You'll have a real good night.

Spooky ears. Well, I'll box the 24s. All right, Kathleen. Bray and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Once upon a time, 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 The Plot. Okay, this is our movie guessing game where you get to take on Brie and see if you know more about movies than she does.

If you beat her today, you win a double pass to Maleficent, Disney's Maleficent, Mistress of Evil, which is in cinemas at the moment. Someone made a comment to me the other day. They're like, are you good at this game because you are lonely and sad and you have heaps of time to watch movies? Yeah. And I said, absolutely, that's the reason. It's such a backhanded compliment.

On one hand, they've called you good. Yeah, which I was like, great, appreciate that. On the other hand, they've called you sad and lonely. Yeah. You know? Whatever the reason is that you're good at it, you are good. It's 24 games to nine in your favour. Every week, you take on a member of the public.

Today, that's going to be Ashley. Hi, Ashley. Hi, Ash. Hey, how you doing? Good. Last week's theme, Ash, was movies that haven't been released yet, which I thought was very good. Thought that was a funny theme.

What a dumb theme. This week also has a theme, Ashley. It's what we do now. We do themes in this game. Mm-hmm. When were you born, Ashley? What year? In 88.

88. Oh, I know what's coming. Okay. Well, this should be good for you too. This week's theme is movies that came out in the year that Bree was born, 1989. Oh, how were we meant to know that? You know I hate old movies.

They're all movies from the year of your birth. Oh, this is rigged. If you know movies, you know movies. This is rigged. If you know movies, you know movies. You know what, Ashley's nearly the same age as me, so it's going to be a fair fight. It's going to be interesting.

Yeah. They're all classics, so don't worry. Oh, you guys suck. Don't worry, they're all classics, so don't worry. You guys suck. Don't worry, they're all classics. You know I hate old movies. First movie, buzzer is your name, Ashley. You need two out of three to win. Here we go.

When kids sneak into inventor Wayne Zlatsky's upstairs lab to retrieve an errant baseball... Bree. Bree. Bree. Three, two, one. Goonies is wrong. You just interrupted and you didn't even know the movie at all.

I was having a go. Ashley, would you like a free guess? I've got nothing. Nothing? That's fine. We'll carry on. Neither, Ashley. Ashley, get ready because the answer's about to be revealed. They sneak into his upstairs laboratory to retrieve an errant baseball. His experimental shrink ray.

Bree. Bree. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. That's correct. Yes! I've actually seen that one. Oh, well done. You know what?

That could have been, that was very close to the plot line of Sandlot Gang. I haven't seen that one. Sandlot Kids. Second movie. Something. Second movie. Something. Second movie. Ashley, you need this, okay, to stay in the game. You need this.

Okay. Pressure's on. An intrepid explorer sets out to rescue his father, a medievalist who has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail. Following clues in the old man's notebook. Bree. Bree. Life of Brian. Life of Brian.

Life of Brian is incorrect. I mean the Monty Python movie. Oh, that. You want a free guess, Ashley? Oh, I don't know. Sounds horrific, whatever movie it is. Following clues in the old man's notebook, Indy arrives in Venice,

where he enlists the help of a beautiful academic, but they are not the only ones who are on the trail, and some sinister old enemies soon come. Bree. Indiana Jones? That's absolutely correct. How did I get that? Because I said Indy. Oh, did you?

That was your cue, Ashley. God! I'm so sorry. I'm going to do one more. If you can get a point on the board, we can give you the movie tickets, okay? You know that I can't let people win. I know. That's okay. That's okay.

I want an honest game from both of you for the final movie. All right. All movies from 1989, final one. A rebellious 16-year-old is fascinated with life in a faraway land. On one of her visits, which are forbidden... Brie. Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is incorrect.

Free guess, Ashley? No. No. Come on, Ash. You're giving me nothing here. I'm good at this game. Ashley, you're doing fine. I know, but just...

I feel like if we were mid-90s, we'd be doing a lot better right now. I feel like this theme was going against us. You're winning. Anyway, I'll carry on. During one of her visits, which are forbidden by her controlling father, she falls for a prince. Determined to be with her new love, she makes a dangerous deal with a witch called Ursula.

Brie. Brie. The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid's correct. Yes. I've got gizmos and gadgets aplenty. Thanks for playing, Ashley. No.

Not great. No. No, Brieie swindled you out of your tickets. You get nothing. No! I inflated her head. It's fine. Producers, producers, we're giving Ashley the tickets. Oh, are we? Yep.

I'm making a call. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Welcome to studio, Producer Ellie. Hello. You're in the process of revolutionising New Year's Eve parties, possibly forever. I hope so. I'm trying to, I think.

Or are you just cheap? Maybe I'm just cheap, guys. Maybe. I mean, we know what I do with the drinks. Or are you ruining New Year's for all of your friends? Maybe. This is what I want to ask you guys, because I'm not actually sure if this is the right thing to do,

but I'm trying to do the right thing. So obviously, New Year's, you spend a lot of money. And I've got a group of friends who don't want to the right thing. So obviously New Year's, you spend a lot of money. I've got a group of friends who don't want to necessarily go away. So I was like, you know what? I'll flat. We'll throw a party. Because you're usually at R&B.

Yeah, I do love a bit of R&B. You'll put your hand up and you'll take that responsibility on. Exactly. You take that. Can I say, you guys have quite a few parties at your house. Sort of. You have one on the weekend. You have one for your birthday. There's quite a few parties at your house. Sort of. You have one on the weekend. You have one for your birthday.

There's quite a few parties. So you're willing to host New Year's at your house? Yes. What do you want to achieve with this party? So I kind of want it to be a place where people can come, as if it was a festival, but it's not a festival, obviously. So what acts do you have? Myself, and I mean, I'm great.

So you know what? I've been to a few parties at Ellie's house and she loves when the party's happening to get on the mic and she loves I'm guilty. Singstar has never been so punished. And you know what kind of funny when it's one song after the 18th or 19th song we're like we get it nah I didn't do 18th

Let's get to this though because you actually have a good idea. Thank you. So what do you want to do with your New Year's Eve party? So I want to have, we'll do all the playlists. So we'll make the music, we'll make everyone enjoy it with the playlist. We're not going to have any artists. We're not actually going to buy any artists. No, we're not going to get a DJ.

That would bump the price up. Sound system? Yeah, we might look at getting a sound system. We will look at providing all alcohol, all food. That includes snacks, that includes a barbecue, it includes any food you want there, we'll provide that. We will take all the noise control complaints, you know, we will take it. We will provide an amazing view, we live by the beach. We also want to like decorate it. We want to make it look cool.

We want to have like wristbands on the door just as a gag. So you want to spend some money to make this an actual thing. That's so nice. I'm definitely in for that party. Yeah, now here's the catch. I'm coming. And this is the catch? So is it legit to charge my friends a small fee just to have a cool party?

Is that legit or is that cheap as? You know what? It's hard, isn't it? My first initial kind of thought is how much? Yeah, that's where I go to. Because if it's a token amount, if it's like gold coin on entry. That I did?

No. How much are you thinking? So to provide, so no, you're not getting a DJ. No. But to provide playlists, that'll cost you a lot. Yep.

Time. Food, booze, decorations. Yep. And venue. Yep. How much? No, and you don't have to clean up. I'll clean up. I'll do all of that. Yep. We're thinking, booze, decorations. Yep. And venue. Yep. How much? No, and you don't have to clean up. I'll clean up.

I'll do all of that. Yep. We're thinking like. No, you get that at a standard party. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. Maybe a sound system. Yeah.

We're looking at potentially 50 bucks a head. You can stay though. No, this is accommodation. You don't even have to go home. We're going to have like the garage set up. We're going to have tents. garage set up. Oh, okay. I'd probably spend that on an Uber to go to the shore anyway. Well, you could do that.

Yeah, yeah. It's up to you. No, but I'm saying like it's from the... That's what I mean. Do you want to go to R&V and pay $800 or do you want to pay $50? I like how she goes, you can stay. The garage is a real... It's got carpet.

It's great. I also love, do you want to go to R&V and see Disclosure? Or do you want to come to my house? And see me. And see Ellie a bit boozed on the Singstar. On Auckland's North Shore. Yeah. You know what?

It's hard. I don't know. So 50 bucks? 50 bucks, yeah. You know what it feels like to me? Yeah, what's that? I need more. It feels like you might be out to make a profit.

Oh, no. At $50, I go, how much decorations are you getting? We're only having about 20 people, though. It's not like it's 100 people. How much money would that be? $1,000. Yeah, just under $1,000. You know what?

I kind of feel you on this topic because let's be real. My apartment seems to be the go-to venue. Yeah, yours is the kick-on. For last-minute parties and just parties in general. So I get what you're saying because a lot of the time I do cop the fee of all the alcohol. People just drink. They just seem to drink all my alcohol in my house.

So I do get it from that point of view. I think 50 is too steep. Okay. Shall we find out? I think we need to hear from the people. I'd like to know. So do I. Because maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe I'm wrong. If I don't have to worry about anything, if I just have to show up and I have the option to stay the night and I'm going to be fed, boozed and entertained by the lovely Ellie Harwood. Yeah, thank you. I'm expecting a jumping castle or a mechanical ball. You want a mechanical ball? I'm expecting that for $450 a head ball? A party favour of some sort.

For $50 a head, I'd be expecting that. Yeah. The phones are filling up, so let's get some opinions in. Okay, we're going to find out who actually won this. Text us too, 9696. Ellie wants to hold New Year's at her house. She's going to cater the party, but she wants her friends to pay $50. What is your opinion on that?

And if you don't, you're going to be turned around. Oh, $100 a head. No fence jumpers either. Yeah, get out. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. So if you were doing a party at your house, Ellie, and 660 were paying, I'd pay $50.

Yeah, $50. Are they coming? Nah. This is our dilemma. Well, it's not our dilemma. Ellie wants to host New Year's at her house and you want to go big. I want to go like a big party. You want to cater and make it cool and decorations.

You're not rich and so you've asked your friends. It does cost a lot to put on a party. I will agree with you. And, you know, you do take on all the clean up and the risk of pissing off your neighbours. I know I've done that. That's just part of being a host, really. Well,

the crappy thing about hosting a New Year's party is you do have to host. Yes. Well, you kind of have to be a little bit responsible. You can't get thoroughly written off. Well, you don't want to do that anyway. Drink responsibly. So, absolutely, that's my motto.

We're asking Ellie what's the charge of friends? $50. For that, they'll get drinks, food, a playlist, and some decorations. I don't mean to be reductive. No, I know. And a barbecue. I said for that amount, if I was coming, I'd expect something like a jumping castle or a mechanical bull.

And in the break, I suggested to you get a karaoke machine. That is a great idea. But a really good one. Have you guys seen the really good ones that party high places have? No. Oh, I can't look into it. What do people think? Let's start with Chelsea.

Hi, Chelsea. Hi. Yes or no, Chelsea, would you be paying $50 to go to the party? Well, with all due respect, I think you, Bray and Clint, are tight arses if you think that's not, is that too expensive. I would 100% pay that.

I'd probably even pay 100 if I'm being honest. Oh, thanks, Chelsea. Oh, okay. You wouldn't reach Chelsea. You need cocktails, eh, Ellie? So you need to pay for it. Yeah, exactly.

Cocktails, cocktails. You wouldn't balk at the idea of your friend charging you money is, I guess, what it comes back to. No, because alcohol and food is provided. I would spend 50 in the bottle of a piece of chocolate. Exactly.

Chelsea says it's too cheap. I like Chelsea, yes. Totally fair enough. Let's talk to Jo. Hi, Jo. Hi, Jo. Yeah, I think Chelsea's lying, eh? He's very split when I say Jo on the text.

I think Chelsea and Ellie are friends, and we've set that up. What do you think? No live music. Come on. Come on, Chelsea. Can I say Joe on the text? I think Chelsea and Ellie are friends and we've set that up. Because, honestly, $50. What do you think? No live music. Come on. Come on, Chelsea. I mean, sorry, Ellie. Come on, Ellie.

She's expecting a band. She wants a band. For $50, though. I'd be so in for a band. I mean, it's just, well, what is it? Booze. Because what's the majority of your cost here? And I think I'm on the same page as Joe.

If booze is the main part of your cost, don't provide booze. Just tell people to bring their own booze and redirect. Jo, would you be... Also, now it's getting more expensive. Would you be happy with a DJ if there was a DJ at the party? Yeah, okay. It's got to be a good DJ or, you know, someone new. Jo's hard to please.

Jo wants a lot for her $50. I wanted my band and I wanted it to be a five piece. Are we talking Diplo? Are we talking a Diplo? Yeah. Ethan's here. Kia ora, Ethan. Hello.

How you going? What are your thoughts, Ethan? I reckon it's a fair deal, aren't you? That's pretty good. Okay. I can tell, Ethan, you might be able to sink your fair amount of drinks. Yeah, that's for sure. So for Ethan, he goes, I'll be

saving money on that. It's like going to Valentine's, right? You're seeing it as a real bang for your buck situation, aren't you, Ethan? That's all I can do. You couldn't go wrong. That's a few bloody deals. How much could she charge? What's the most you think Ellie could charge for this party?

Oh, 150 bucks. Oh, I love it, Ethan. I love it. All right, Ethan. Chill out. Lisa, we've got two for and one against. What's your opinion on the New Year's? Mine's four too, and I think she should charge more as well.

Oh, thanks, Lisa. Okay. All right. We'll really zhuzh it up. Oh, Lisa's gone. Oh! All of our phone calls have been white. Oh, no!

Oh. Oh. All right. Hey, I'll never know if I should charge. I better just take the money and run in. No, it's 3-1. It was 3-1, so I can charge, but I'll make it cool. I will.

I promise I'll make it cool. It was 3-1. And the advice was you need to put the price up. Okay. And my advice for you was you need to put the attendance up. Because if I'm paying $100 to come to a party and there's only 20 people there, I want more people to talk to. Yeah.

Okay. Fine. I'm in. I'm in. But if the party's a stinker, I'm giving you a bad 20 people there. Yeah. I want more people to talk to. Yeah. Right. Okay. Fine. I'm in. I'm in. But if the party's a stinker, I'm giving you a bad review. Okay. Fair. We're going to do a birthday bag of nicks.

I would never go back to this venue. The food was terrible. It was cheap vodka. You should slam it on the radio. I could. Oh, no. Yeah, I'll ruin your business. All right, let's get a birthday banger on for Thursday.

What was top of the charts on these people's 16th birthdays? Kia ora, Christy. Hi, Christy. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you? Good, thank you. That's good. What's your birthday, Christy? The, how are you? Good, how are you? Good, thank you. That's good. What's your birthday, Christy?

The 31st of January, 1998. Oh, no, I've done a mistake, guys. What have you done? I thought it was 88. Christy, let's pretend. No, Christy, wait there. The producers will look at what yours is while we do the other ones. Oh, but hers was a good one.

Doesn't matter. It's not hers. So Ben in the background will work on that. It just changed the date to 88. No, 98. No, 98. Yes. So what's the date?

See, it's very easy to get confused, isn't it? Heidi's here. Hey, Heidi. Hi. Hi, Heidi. What's your birthday? October 28th, 1970. Oh, no.

Now, do you mean 70 or 80? Oh, no. Well, you haven't butchered hers as well. I'm just kidding. She was 16 in 1986 on the 28th of October. And back in the 80s, this was number one. Oh, it's good. The Final Countdown.

Nice. Do you remember that on your 16th birthday? I do. That's a good one, Heidi. Playing on the wireless. Who sings this? I don't know. You did the research.

Oh. It's not in the system? I can find out. Nah, it doesn't matter. Let's go to Brad. It's by Europe. It's by a group called Europe. Of course.

How can we forget Europe and all their other hits they have? I love it they've got, Going to Italy. Hey, Brad. Hi, how you going? Good, thanks, Brad. We hear your birthday's tomorrow. It is. Well, happy birthday for tomorrow.

What year are we talking? 1985. Okay, you were 16 in 2001 on the 1st of November, and back in 2001, this was number one. Oh, yeah. on the 1st of November, and back in 2001, this was number one. Oh, yeah. She's a queen. Lovely Kylie.

That's not going to happen. What do you mean it's not going to happen, Brad? That's a great birthday banger. I'd rather not. What is wrong with Kylie Minogue, please? You need to get in touch with your inner woman, Brad. Honestly, there is a vibe and a rhythm that you can tap into there. She's got those gold hot pants.

Yeah. Wait there, Brad. We'll give you some time to stew on it. We'll go back to Christy. She's here. We can get her birthday banger. We've redone the math for you. Are you sure you're not born in 1988, Christy?

I'm sure. Okay, you're positive? Okay, good. All right, your real birthday banger. You were 16 in 2014 on the 31st of January. So this is your birthday banger. Because I'm happy I'm alone if you make my room without me. Oh, no, that wasn't worth waiting for. You know, I said, Clint, we should just go with it

because you know what her birthday banger was when she was born in 1988? What? Baby Bash, Sugar Sugar. Oh, I love that song. Yeah, but it's not her birthday banger. Christy, this is your birthday banger. Christy, what would you rather, this or Sugar Sugar by Baby Bash?

I'd rather be 10 years older. Yeah, I don't think it matters because I think we're playing Kylie Minogue. No. What? I love Kylie Minogue. Are we not going to play Kylie Minogue? I was going to vote for Sugar Sugar. Doesn't matter.

It's not eligible. But now it's changed. I'm voting for the final countdown. You're voting for... You didn't even know who sang it until four minutes ago. I don't know who a lot of one-hit wonders. Okay. We're going to a decision.

We're on the final countdown. Producer Ben will cast the deciding vote. This is what happens in a stalemate. Ben, what is the winner of Birthday Banger today? I'm going to go with Final Countdown. Yes, Ben! Yeah, I am. I knew I kept you around for a reason.

What? I hope this is everything you ever dreamed of. It is. It's gonna be. Heidi, you especially. This is your birthday banger. Ben, this could be the final countdown for you and I. When Lost Boss hears this. This segment is behind the scenes

on its final warnings. How dare you? Yeah. But we're doing it now. Here we go. Shush. You shush. Shush. You dare you? Yeah. But we're doing it now. Here we go. Here we go. Shush. You shush.

Shush. You shush. Hey, let's not have a fight. Everybody shush now. We're leaving together But still it's farewell And maybe we'll come back To first look and tell

I guess there is no one to blame We're leaving ground Will things ever be the same again? It's the final countdown The final countdown Oh We're headed

for Venus And still we stand tall Cause maybe they've seen us And welcome us all With so many light years to go And things could be fine And so that we all miss our soul It's the final countdown

The final countdown The final countdown The final countdown guitar solo The final countdown It's the final countdown The final countdown The final countdown Zinni and Bree and Clint It's the final countdown It's the winner of Birthday Banger today Yes!

From Europe. Not the country. Not the country. I think probably from the country as well. Normally after this we go on and we play another song from the artist. There's not another Europe song in the whole system. There's not. Clint is a Europe final countdown hater.

He is, eh? What? He has been going off. These two rock aficionados, Ellie and Brie, have been going, Brie goes, oh, this is from when music was real, back when they had guitar solos. And Ellie goes, yeah, man, I miss it. I miss real music.

That is the cheesiest song in the whole world. That is so cheesy. You tell me one person in a sporting team that if you don't put that on that doesn't pump them up, That is what that song is all about. That's a good one. Go break it. I have some news that I need to share just briefly. Just before we had Ellie in because

she's looking at monetising her New Year's Eve party. Now that sounds bad doesn't it? And getting her friends to pay so she can put on a big party. What do you say $250 a head? Well this might change the price. I've just received a direct message from the people at Part Time Rangers,

the RTD company, and they would like to sponsor your New Year's Eve party. Really? With 10 cases of pink rhino. I love them! That's awesome! Can I say... $48 then. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM say? $48 then. So great news for people who like to swear a lot.

More good news because there was that earlier news this year that if you swear at work. It's good for your career. It's good for your career. More research now suggests that those who swear on the reg are more likely to be honest, unfiltered, which means they make better friends. Oh, f***ing excellent.

I only say that because you're such a good friend. We're on the radio. Yeah, I know. That's what we've got producers for. Yeah, true. That's what we pay those c***s for. F*** it. They have to edit this.

Anyway, I thought... We've got software that does it. Yeah, it does it. It just happens. We're not being rude to I thought. We've got software that does it. Yeah, it does it. It just happens. We're not being rude to those guys. We've got software. If we swear on this radio station. They can't even tell that we're swearing at them already.

Hey, Ben, you c*** sucker. Yeah, look, see? He's waving. Hi. Hey, Ben. Yeah, shut up. Anyway, I thought my best mate, Al, we've had him on the show before, big, gay, gorgeous Al.

I want to just obviously try and reiterate to him that I'm a really good friend. So I've got a few things up my sleeve where I think I can get a few more swear words in this conversation. It might put me in the good books for the weekend. Okay, cool. I mean, he's a good friend. He's a good friend.

Hopefully he'll see me as a good friend after this. Hello? Alan. Hello? Alan? Hello. Yes. Hello, Alan, you c***bag. Oh, hello. How are you?

Good. How are you? I'm good. I'm standing right next to the big boss's office, so should I walk away for this? Oh, nah, f*** it. Oh, I see. What's going on? Oh, nothing. Just having a good f**k it. Oh, I say. What's going on? Oh, nothing.

Just having a good f**king day. Just, you know, chilling out. I had the sh**s earlier. Whoa, of course you did. Not literally. I just had the sh**s with a few people. With me? They were being, you know, when people at work can just be f**ked, you know?

Well, yeah. Anyway, quick phone call. I just wanted to say, big news in the music industry. Have you heard Kanye West dropped a new album? Yes. Yeah, so he dropped a new album, but I wanted to just remind you, do you know what my favourite Kanye song is? I only know one of his songs, so I'm going to go stronger.

Nah, it's this song, actually. You're such a f***ing s***, I like a quick f***. I just like it because it's deep. Yeah, and you talk like that all the time anyway, so clearly he's influencing you. Yeah, yeah. One last thing before I go. This weekend, I thought we could watch that movie, The King's Speech.

Yeah? Have I seen that? No. So this weekend I thought we could watch that movie, The King's Speech. Yeah. Have I seen that? No. No, but there's a really, like, good scene that I really love because, you know, I think it means quite a lot. It's this scene here. F***. F***.

F***. F***. F***. F***. F***. F***. F***. F***.

Your experiment has arrived. It's great. I'm happy. I think we're on to a winner. Please, please, please welcome to the studio the first ever Brie lookalike, Kayla. Hello, Kayla. Hello. Or should I say Brie 2? Yep, Brie lookalike, Kayla. Hello, Kayla. Hello. Or should I say Brie 2?

Yep, Brie. From now on, we will refer to you as Brie. I'm taking you to the breakers game tonight where we're sitting courtside. You're going to sit in and hopefully people won't know the difference. That's the plan, okay? Sounds good. Do you think you can pull it off?

I'll give it a good go. Can I give you... I'm not confident in that give you I'm not confident I'm not confident either but I know you can do this Can I give you a piece of advice straight away Hit me

Okay So Brie Are you ready to go to the breakers tonight? I'm so ready She's getting better It's getting better. First, what are your thoughts on obviously the most important thing

about a lookalike is the looks. The looks. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. I think we can improve it. Does your hair part on the side? Like, could we flop your hair over? You'll need to tuck it all the way around the back. Is that something we could do? Yeah, we could give it a go. You're up for that, Brie? Yep.

There's one striking You need to tuck it all the way around the back. Is that something we could do? Yeah, we could give it a go. You're up for that, Brie? Yep. Yep. There's one striking disparity in our lookalike, which I don't think we catered for. Kayla's bald. No, she's not. She's not bald. Kayla, how tall are you? 5'2".

And how tall are you, Brie? 5'11". That's okay. that's okay. We're going to be sitting down. We're on the radio. Sitting down at the basketball. People always see us sitting down. They don't know how tall I am.

If we're going to pull this off, you need to know your facts because if people come up to you and they say, oh, Brie, good to see you, you need to have your Brie knowledge ready to go. So I've got a Brie-based quiz for you

and I need 50% pass for it. Yeah, that's pretty good. The producers are going to have some questions too. We'll start out with an easy one. Bree, what's your full name? Are you kidding me? At least our last name, Bree. Come on, what's your first and last name?

Bree Thomasel? Yeah, that'll do. God. Can I just say, if someone comes up to you at the basketball tonight and says, what's your full name? Don't do a face like you've just seen a ghost. And also, I mean, it happens a lot. People come up to me and go, what's your full name and date of birth?

Yeah, yeah, right? Yeah, bounces. Okay, question number two. Question number two. Bree, what's your mum's name? Di. Oh, that's good. We haven't even prompted her to do this.

Let's bring in a question from our producers. Ben, you know Bree very well. Let's give new Bree a question that only Bree would know the her to do this. Let's bring in a question from our producers. Ben, you know Bree very well. Let's give new Bree a question that only Bree would know the answer to. Okay. Bree, what's your favourite science-based reality TV show? Great question. It's a sitcom. Shut up.

Who is that? You be quiet, okay? You're not going to be there on the night. You've opted out. You won't be there to help new Bree. What about a hint? I think you might have just heard one. Bazinga.

She is me! She hates Big Bang Theory! Brie loves Big Bang Theory. That's a wrong. I hate it. I'll hit you with another question. What's your favourite food? Yeah, this gets caught. Pizza? Oh, no. Garlic bread. It's very on brand.

Ellie, have you got a question for new Brie? Brie, do you know a good catchphrase that Brie often says when she's finished singing something or she thinks she's done pretty well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is tough. It is a tough one. Good one, Ellie. Yeah, good one, Ellie.

Two words. Yeah, two words. Two words. It's pretty good. It's a tough one. Good one, Ellie. Yeah, good one, Ellie. Two words. Yeah, two words. Two words. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. I wasn't giving you a hint.

I was literally giving you the answer. I'm going to take you home with this. There are two more questions. I think she's doing pretty well. I think she's doing pretty well, but I'd like you to get both of these. What's your opinion of Harry Potter? Dislike.

Well done. And finally, the final question, to see that you're ready to take Bree's place at the basketball tonight. I'm excited for this, because I'm just thinking about all these other things I can send Bree Doppelganger to. Yeah, yeah.

The final question, and this is the important one, because people will ask you about this. Where did you pee your pants in public recently? On the TV show. Take it. It was on Celebrity Treasure Island. Folks, I think she's ready. I think she's ready to go.

I've got one more test. Because you're going to be at the Breakers game. And what do I like to do when I'm at a sporting match? Oh, drink a lot. Easy. yeah that too i love to yell out obscenities oh but let's go with let's go with something clean as we like yeah breakers wrap his head off yeah okay i'll do that no no we want i need to do it i need to hear it okay come on get it let's go yeah breakers rip their heads off. We're in trouble.

Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. So just before I imagine this, you're at the funeral of a loved one, and afterwards there's the wake where there's a bit of a spread and you all get to share memories. Then all of a sudden you all start to buzz out and you get really hungry because you've been served hash brownie. About time they served some good food at a wake.

I mean, you need something to pick up the mood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, maybe that's what you want. A funeral in Germany has gone this way. Apparently in Germany it's customary to go to like a restaurant after the funeral as a group. And they've gone to a cafe where the cafe's owner has asked his 18-year-old daughter to bake a cake for the mourners that were coming in in anticipation.

It was getting ready. She's done that. She's also baked a weed cake for herself. For herself? Well, for her and her friends for a different occasion. Okay. And the wrong cake has been served up. Oh, classic.

It says that the 13 mourners all experienced nausea, dizziness, and needed medical treatment. What? Come on, it's just a weed cake. Yeah, but maybe, you know, they were comfort eating. Oh, and they went hard. And they had too much. You know, that's a definite possibility.

A friend of mine's mum did this exact same thing recently. Yeah. The kids had some brownie that was just for them. And when I say kids, we're talking adult kids. Weed brownies. 20, 30-year-olds. And mum's there. And mum reaches for one of the brownies.

And what do you do in that situation? How do you stop her? How do you say to Mum, sorry, Mum, those brownies are not for you? Without revealing the fact that all of you are eating weed brownies and you don't want your mum to know about it. You make up something because if she eats it, she's definitely going to know. Mum had two. Why would they let her have two?

She had two and she turned to my friend and she goes, I don't know what it is but this gin and tonic is really knocking me about. Then she started trying to order a cheesecake on Uber Eats and that's when they had to tell her, they had to say, look, I'm gonna have to square up with you here.

The brownie was a weed brownie. What a genius move, ordering a cheesecake on Uber Eats. I didn't even know you could do that. I don't think you can. I think she was just like, I really want cheesecake. I really want cheesecake. How does that Uber Eats thing work that you guys like?

Anyway, that's the story. If you get dealt a weed brownie, I don't know. Serve weed brownies at the wedding. Now that's a good reception. That's why people won't forget or won't remember, mate. I was going to say they won't remember it. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM.

If you know me, Clint, then you know I am all about the science. I love science. I think, you know, there's a lot to be said for scientists. Who's your favourite 20th century scientist? I'd have to say Hilary Barry. You could have, like, said, you could have gone, I've set this up so easy. Albert Einstein?

Yeah. Oh, is he included in that, is he? You threw me, you threw me with the timeline. Alexander Graham Bell. Wrong century. He's my Graham Bell. Wrong century. He's my second favourite. Wrong century. I don't know any others.

Anyway, I love the science and there's something that I was reading on the internet which I think is revolutionary. It's a group of scientists in America and what they're doing for the medical industry is very, very exciting. Okay. So they are trying to build the world's biggest database of human poo pictures. Poo pictures? Poo pictures, yeah.

What's a poo picture? So it's essentially where someone does a poo and they take a picture of it. Oh, those people need help. No, they're scientists. No, I've been part of Facebook groups before with guy mates who thought that was good content. And they're like, hey, you guys, just on my lunch break, check this out. And then all the other guys are like, mate, that's such a good one.

Look at my one. We're not talking about lollygagging around and sending pictures of your poo to your mates. We're talking about hard facts, science. Or semi-soft. Or semi-soft science. And anyway, so essentially what they want to do is, is they're edging people to literally the next time they take a poo.

Take a picture. Take a picture of it and upload it to their website. The campaign is called Give a Shit. Yeah. What do they want it for? So it's actually a real thing. So they actually want it to help better diagnose gastrointestinal disorders and to advance human gut science.

Right, well, that's noble, I guess. My issue is, at the moment, you know when you have something on your phone and you hand your phone over to someone and then they start scrolling through your pictures? Up until now, you've just been worried they would stumble across a nude or, even worse, a batch of selfies that you never uploaded? I'd just say it was my dog's poo. Imagine, no, but why is it in the toilet?

I'd say I taught my dog to do a poo in the toilet. Why is it in the human toilet? Yeah, I taught my dog. Isn't that incredible? And also, they'd look at it and they'd go, you either have a huge dog or your dog is unwell. Yeah, it's a Great Dane. That could pass. Then they go, I'm in a relationship with you.

How come I've never seen your Great Dane? I'd be like, oh, my parents have it at the moment. Do you reckon you can tell the difference from a human poo to a dog poo? Yeah, dog poos are white, remember? No, that's after they go old. Anyway, I wanted to do a thing and I've got the Bristol stool chart here. Now, I know this is a bit gross, but this is actually serious stuff because you can tell whether or not you're healthy from your poo.

Yeah. I want to know from you, based on these types, which one... I'm not comfortable with these conversations. You know that. Is it type 1, hard lumps? Type 2, lumpy? Type 3, a sausage shape with cracks in the surface? Type 4, smooth, soft sausage or snake?

Type 5, soft blobs? Type 6, mushy consistency. Type 7, liquid. Type 4. You're healthy! Thanks. Great. Thanks for the on-ear diagnosis.
