uh uh uh hello everybody welcome to the podcast i'm back baby i was away yesterday and now i'm back thank god yeah our messiah yeah the person who what would we do without you who would start the podcast i mean i started it can you do that yeah it was pretty easy actually all this time pretty simple all this time you were capable i was surprised also that i um was capable did you give them a wacky reason as to why I was away? Did you say hemorrhoids or diarrhea or something? No, I just said you were away. Oh, right.

Someone messaged me and was like, is the cat dead? I'm like, no, but thank you for your concern. The cat is not doing well, but the cat is alive and costingly. Oh, shit, because I said you were away because your cat died. No, she's alive. No, I wouldn't joke about that. That's not funny. No, it's not funny.

I don't want her to die. But there's something ridiculous about the fact that I'm delivering the cat $500 medicine tonight. But you know what? You do what you can for the things you love. Hey, what kind of, is it pain meds? Because can I have some of that cat medicine? Because my neck is so sore. It's antibiotic.

Right now. I do have some cat painkiller at home. Yeah. Can I have some? My neck's so sore right now as I sit here that I've got a sweaty mustache from the pain. Right. That's not even any bullshit. We were at the bar today and the lady who runs the bar offered Bree some morphine.

And by morphine, Clint means she gave me a shot of tequila. No, she offered you some of her tremadol. Oh, that's right. She offered me both. Yeah. She gave me the tequila. Bree goes, have you got any Nurofen? She goes, she offered you some of her tremadol. Oh, that's right. She offered me both. She gave me the tequila. Bree goes, have you got any Nurofen? She goes, no, I've got some tremadol upstairs. She goes, that'll make you lose your mind.

That'll get you going. It also backs you up. I've heard that. One won't back you up. They reckon hardcore painkillers like that are constipated. Why am I advocating for casual morphine use? I don't mean that. I don't mean to casual morphine use? I don't mean that. I don't mean to.

Yeah, anyway, I wasn't away because the cat died. Just needed some family time yesterday. And now we're back. And now we're going to do an international birthday banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Free and close. Birthday banger.

And we were trying different things. And we were smoking funny things. Making love out by the lake. I know how to say this all summer long. Head rock. It must be horrific having a hard name to pronounce because people would just butcher it every time they saw it written down. It was so annoying. We apologise, but blame producer Ben who didn't write us any phonetics for this.

I'm looking right at the other side of me. Oh, this reminds me of a breakup I had. This is the emo Justin Timberlake era.

We're like, can you bring sexy back? And he's like, no. I remember exactly where I was, parked outside of their house, sitting in my car, and this song was like... This is the one where you were waiting to come home and see if they were cheating.

Yep. Yes. But I don't know if... Yeah, I'm pretty sure this song was on. And then, lo and behold, there they were cheating. And me and my friend drove past and my friend threw a drink at them. You should have Cry Me A River on for the cheating one. No, but this was...

All the damage is done and I guess I'll believe it. This song was big on the radio at the time. Yeah, right. And Bree and I only listen to the radio. We don't even have streaming services.

Oh no I can think of a few other times I love Dizzy Rascal See I just upped you one Thank you for taking the stress off me there You've really taken the mantle I took the brunt then We asked you the question before How many cats is too many cats?

Like what's the number where you go This is weird man you've got too many cats Yeah why do you have so many cats? There's a number where you go, this is weird, man. You've got too many cats. Yeah, why do you have so many cats? There's a guy in West Auckland who's being evicted from his house for having too many cats. But first we asked you that question. What does a text machine say? There's a lot of text.

Do you want to hear what people's opinions are? Yeah, I really do. Someone said anything more than two cats is too many. Five cats is too many. I have six cats, but we did have eight. And then one person said one. One cat is too many. Yeah, see, there's always going to be those people out there.

But you can't deal with those people. Oh, there's quite a few saying one cat is too many cats. Hey, no. One cat is comforting. Come on, be nice. One cat is comforting. Two cats is luxurious. Three cats is pushing the boundary. This is my opinion. And four cats is an issue. Too many.

See, for me, I think anything more than two cats, why? So three cats is too many cats for you? I think so. Okay, my number's four. Producer Ben, how many cats is too many cats? Oh, two. Two is too many? Yeah, probably just bang on.

You know I've got two, eh? Yeah, yours isn't, yeah. Okay, fine, Three is too many. He's calling you weird. Producer Anastasia, how many cats, too many cats? I was going to say two, but that text is great, so one. Right. The man in West Auckland has been evicted for having too many cats, 18.

He's got 18 cats in a rental. What are you doing? 18 cats in a rental. What are you doing? 18 cats. The neighbours have complained. The landlords complained. The cats haven't complained because they're like, oh my God, this is like Ibiza for cats.

It's so good. This is like the rhythm and vine of cats. We're all going to mate with each other. Yeah, we're going to piss wherever we want. Did you hear that he turned his entire backyard into a litter box? He didn't do it on purpose. No, it just kind of became like that. Yeah, right. So the number we believe that is too many for cats,

somewhere between three and 18. Can we agree on that? Somewhere in the middle, yeah. Yeah, right. Cool. Someone texted her and they said, our neighbour had 30 cats. They always pooed on my lawn.

They'll do that. They do need to do that. Bree and Clint. From iHeartRadio. This is... The latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, more bad news for Demi Lovato. Yes, this is kind of sad actually.

Her engagement to Max Ehrich. He's an actor from Young and the Wrestlers. Not a lot of people around the world know him. He's pretty well known over here in the States. They have ended their engagement just two months in. So they met, I think they started dating in March. They were engaged soon after. And now it is all over.

They've had what they call a quarantine relationship. So here's the thing. When you meet in quarantine, it accelerates everything. You've got nothing else to do. There's no one else to hang out with. You just have to hang out. And so it's kind of like having a two-year relationship, but in two months. It's like meeting someone on Love Island.

Yeah, they become your whole world. And then they get eliminated. And you have to live with them. And you have to do everything with them. And then one of them gets voted out. You're like, I'll never move on. And then next week, you're with another person. Yes.

Yeah, right. Okay. Where were they quarantined? Where did they meet? Well, she lived in LA. Actually, she sold her big house where, remember when she was found unconscious? She sold that house and she rents an apartment next to Jim Carrey on Santa Monica Boulevard, this gorgeous $15,000 a month apartment.

So she's been living in LA next to Jim Carrey, and that's how they met, in LA, and just hanging out on lockdown. So it is sad, though. It's always sad when a relationship doesn't work out. I am really sad for her because I think Demi Lovato is a good person. She's had a very rough run in the last however many years. Yeah, she's copping a lot of bad luck. Yeah, and I mean, this isn't going to help her situation at all.

So, yeah, it's sad. That is a relationship on turbo, though. If you were to meet, get engaged and break up all in the space of a year, you are loving things in the fast lane. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with Dean McCarthy. It's thanks to Old El Paso you can launch into mess-free Mexican with their new tortilla pockets. Bree and Clint.

I want to talk about secret marriages for a second. Oh, you got one? No. You having one? No. You want one? Well, it's not a secret if I'm telling you about it on this show. We're in the cone.

We're in the cone of silence. I'm just telling you, just one of my friends. The only weak link. And 150,000 other people. The only weak link is producer Anastasia. She's the narc. I've heard loose lips sink ships and she hasn't really been tested yet.

Well, what she doesn't know is we told her a few things. My headphones aren't plugged in. Well, good. You're not going to tell anybody if you can't hear it. Yeah, right. We told her a few things just to see if it would get back to people and guess what, Anastasia? I guess her headphones still aren't plugged in.

She can't talk now. They're plugged in. Oh, you rookie. Anyway, everyone's been talking about Emma Stone, obviously big Hollywood actress, because they're saying that they reckon she secretly married her fiancé, Dave McCary, who works on Saturday Night Live and he does a bit of comedy stuff.

I'm going to Google them. Anyway, so they're saying after nine months of a confirmed engagement, they reckon that the couple have secretly wed. Oh, well, congratulations, Emma Stone and Dave McCary. Does that mean that they eloped? Or they just had a wedding without the press knowing? It's not eloping if it's because you didn't tell the public. Eloping is when you don't tell your friends

and family. Traditionally, it's when you don't tell your family and you just run away because your family would have frowned upon it. That's what eloping means. Yeah. Is that what they did? No, I think they just had a wedding without the press knowing about it. Yeah, yeah. So that's not eloping. No, they didn't elope. They had a secret wedding. They just had a wedding without the press knowing about it. Yeah, yeah. I think. So that's not eloping. No, they didn't elope.

They had a secret wedding. They just had a nice wedding, which was for them and not for the media. Yeah, which I mean, good for them. Good for them, yeah. Made me think my cousin had a secret wedding. Yeah. Well, I thought that they did, but turns out I just wasn't invited. All my other cousins were.

Were your parents invited? Yes. Was your brother invited? No. were your parents invited uh yes was your brother invited no was your sister invited no so just the kids did your parents tell you about the wedding where they're like we're off to a day spa they told us afterwards did they yeah wow and i was like that means the whole family that means the whole family's in on it. Yeah. Except you guys. Oh, everyone. It was a conspiracy. Yeah, right. I was like, what did they give out at this wedding?

Like, were there gift bags that they didn't want to- What did you do to them? I don't know. What did the Thomasel children do? Well, we just, we're quite, you know, I'm a lot younger, so maybe that's why. Yeah, but you don't keep it a secret. Like, if you're too young to be friends, that's fine, and you're not invited to the wedding, that's fine.

But you don't have a secret wedding. No, I don't know if it was a secret. We just didn't get told about it. Oh, okay. All right. They were like, oh, they're not coming. Don't bother. Yeah.

I like the idea of a secret wedding because I think it's romantic. I think it proves that the wedding is just for you guys. And not to say that other weddings aren't, but you know, you go, this is just for us. And the very small amount of people that, might I say this? What? Oh, I won't say it. Someone here at ZDM's had a secret wedding.

Have they? Yeah. Do I know? Yeah, you know, but don't try and name them because I don't know if we talk about it. I'm not going to try and name them, but do I know about the wedding? I'll turn the mics off and I'll tell you who it is. Okay. I knew that.

Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then they also had Another wedding A real wedding Yeah yeah later on Later on they had a real wedding

But the best part about the wedding Is the big You know Party with everyone Party and drink up at the end Yeah That's well I think so Where you party with all your friends

But you can still do that With the secret wedding You just have to tell all the guests To keep the wedding a secret Right So you don't have to pay For the people that you don't want to invite. Exactly right.

It's a great way to cut the guest list down. What if anyone listening has had a secret wedding? Yeah. Did you guys just escape to Vegas or something? Did you go, let's just do it. I'm going to shout my best friend and your best friend and we're going to Vegas and we're going to get married. Can we take eloping stories too?

Yeah, we can take eloping stories. Because I feel like they are secret weddings. Yeah, did you and your partner run away and get married without telling your family? Yeah. Do you know someone that's eloped or had a secret wedding? 0800 DIAL ZM or you can text us on 9696. You can remain anonymous. Emma Stone and her fiancé reportedly, apparently have had a secret wedding.

I think Richie McCoy had a secret wedding. Did he? I think Richie McCoy had a secret wedding. Did he? I think he did. I think there was so much press interest in him and Gemma's wedding that they were like, we can't reveal the location, we can't reveal the date. But then I think Women's Day found out anyway and sent a helicopter. And they're like, dude, we're going to give you the official photos anyway afterwards.

Come on. I think I remember that was the case. Yeah. It was the closest New Zealand ever came to a paparazzi event. It was very... That would have been a big... Yeah, probably the biggest wedding of the decade. It was like a Rugby World Cup.

There were so many All Blacks there. Yeah. I bet. Yeah. You know what they did at that wedding, I heard? They had a bit of a game. Yeah. Like at the reception.

Yeah. And that was the entertainment. Yeah, they packed down a scrum. The groom's family packed down a scrum against the bride's family. And it was full on. And they pushed and shoved and got the result. Then did a line out for the bouquet toss. Yeah, it was a perfect, wonderful day all around.

We want to know if you had a secret wedding. Stella's called up. Hi, Stella. Hi. Hi. Was it you that got secretly married? No, it's a little different, though. My friends actually had a surprise wedding.

We were invited to an engagement party and just told to dress up fancy and then we rocked up and she was in her dress and they were like, surprise, we're having a wedding in the garden. Don't mind these. Love that. Boom, two for one. Yeah, and you know who feels stink? The people who went, I won't't go It's just an engagement party

I'll go to the wedding I'll go to the wedding Yeah And then you miss the whole thing I love that That's a great idea Yeah that's very cool Let's talk to Holly

Hello. Hi, guys. How are you doing? Good. Wait, wait. Are you about to have a secret wedding? Not that exciting and no paparazzi. Sorry, guys.

No, we told everybody we're just going to do it. So it was my husband's, not one for a fuss. But then the hint wasn't really heard by certain people, including my mother-in-law. So we went and got married and then went back home for some drinks because it was my birthday. And then we told people and everybody was like super excited except for her. She's all good now, but, you know. She wasn't thrilled.

She wasn't thrilled. So let me get it clear. You guys had the secret wedding, but you planned to have drinks afterwards. It was my birthday, so we had birthday drinks. Yeah, yeah, so you had birthday drinks, and that sort of acted as the reception for your secret wedding. I guess you could say that. Yeah, we had the reception.

Can I ask, Anonymous, you just said your husband's not one for a fuss. Did you not want a wedding as well? I was going to ask the exact same thing. Yeah, or did you just kind of be like, okay, well he doesn't want a wedding, I'll just go along with, you know, a secret wedding. I am the prize. Yeah, I am the prize. We've got a kid and, you know,

I'm the prize. What's the prize? She said, I just got to lock him down. Oh. Yeah, no, I mean got to lock him down. Oh. Yeah, no. I mean, we'd been together for ages, so it wasn't a concern, that kind of stuff. But, yeah, it was just about the... Is it hard having a husband who doesn't like a fuss? No.

I mean, you know what you're buying. You know what you're getting, right. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's all good. So, I mean... Do you have, like, a red card up your sleeve, though, that one day you go, I know you don't want for a fuss,

but it's my 40th, and we're making a fuss. Like, are you ever going to play that? No, that was my 40th. So that was his birthday present to me. All in one. Yeah, exactly. So I've never told her that it was his fault. It wasn't her that we've been inviting.

It was no one, if that makes sense. Amazing. Anonymous, because you had a secret wedding. I hope your husband got you a bloody big ring. No, now he thinks every time it's my birthday, it's his kind of anniversary as well. So he earns the prize too. So he gets a present on your birthday. That's fantastic.

Love it. Okay, thank you for the call, Anonymous. That's amazing. No worries. Thanks, Anonymous. Have a great weekend. Bree and Clint. Quite a dollop every time I've heard that. I love that you can say anything on the radio and people listening have to believe it.

They do. And that just reminds me, can you please put some clothes on? Seriously, it's not professional. That is definitely an HR issue. Why is one of those lower than the other? I'm just going to let people's minds wander. This is the power of radio. This is the power of radio.

Mine are relatively the same thing. Any clients that are listening, you don't get this on Spotify. No. We can describe anything in detail. This is where you want to put your brand, where the announcers are saying things like this. Is it cold in here? Well, according to you, it's...

And according to you, very cold. Hang on, we need to do one of those fancy reset things. Got it. All right, I've got to talk about... He's shook. This TikTok that's going around of the girl who's washed her boyfriend's pillow for the first time in 10 years. I have seen that this is doing the rounds.

Why has he owned a pillow for 10 years is my first question because he probably loves that pillow and if he's anything like me it's very hard to find the perfect pillow and once you've found it you don't want to let it go to be honest i'm still looking for the perfect pillow i've tried so many different ones this tiktok video is one if you love like real gross stuff you'll love it because the pillow is disgusting and if you love power cleaning videos you know the ones where people are like. Oh, I do like those. Like, do you enjoy watching Instagram stories where people are water blasting?

Yeah. Love a water blaster. This caters to all that. She gets his pillows and they are disgusting. How does she clean them? They're like a mottled brown colour. She puts them in the bath and she puts some cleaning solution in the bath. I've seen this account.

And she starts pounding it with the other end of a broomstick and it's not working. So she pours half a bottle of bleach into the bath, keeps pounding it. Just buy a new pillow. She puts two Finnish Powerball tablets in there and keeps pounding them. In the end, she just puts them in the washing machine.

They came up like brand new. I imagine they smell like a... I doubt the inside is brand new. Well, this is the thing, right? But she is just happy that she doesn't have to... Her take is she's happy she doesn't have to sleep next to these dirty pillows anymore. She doesn't care about his comfort level.

She doesn't want to sleep in a bed with a pillow that hasn't been washed for 10 years. Yeah, who does? That pillow looks to me like it did not have a pillow protector on it. I am not a person who's ever washed my pillows. How long have you owned it for? Not 10 years. No, not 10 years.

My previous pillow, maybe six years. And this new pillow, three years probably. I shared something with you off air, which you, Anastasia, and I think Producer Ben were all shocked. But I thought it was just like something everyone knew. This thing you said I'd never heard of and I still don't know if I believe is true. No, it is true.

I'm going home to check it tonight. I think, I don't know if it's every pillow, but most new pillows, and if they're a decent quality, if you buy them like now, they have a date printed on it, which pretty much is their expiry date. So is it the date the pillow was manufactured or is it the date that you need to get a new one? The date you need to get a new one.

But what if that pillow's been sitting on the shelf at Briscoe's for like a year, not being used? Oh, well, you know, T's and C's apply. I don't know. You know, I don't trust it. It just is a roundabout number and I'm pretty sure it's only a couple of years. Do you know what the American Sleep Institute says is the amount of time you should use a pillow for before you replace it? Yeah, between one and two years.

I thought so, yeah. Which is so wasteful. Which, I mean, I've used the pillows I've got now for at least, yeah, it'll be coming up to three. The same? Yeah. Same. I'm not getting new pillows. Oh, look, in a dream situation, we'd all have new pillows every night.

Yeah, well, I mean, it would be good. One more thing on pillows before we move on. One more thing. I stand by the fact, the cheaper the pillow, the better it is. What? Yeah. Nah. You can't, for me, you can't be a $6 Briscoe's pillow. People are like, my pillow's got feathers in it. I'm like, your pillow

sucks. I like this. My pillow is a $280 memory foam bamboo tropical rainforest hybrid. Cool, mine's $6 and full of plastic and I sleep like a baby.

Hey, you know how we were just talking about Nicole Scherzinger, who is obviously the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, and when Dean McCarthy told us that she was the one behind the scenes who would record most of the hard notes for Britney Spears. Yeah, before Britney was famous, they brought Nicole in to sing the bits Britney couldn't sing. Yeah. So all the songs that you know and love, like Baby One More Time, Toxic, all those,

a lot of it is Nicole Scherzinger. That's unreal. This is crazy. Remember I said to you I was looking at YouTube clips of her last night? I found the clip where Nicole Scherzinger back in 2015 impersonates Britney Spears. Yes. But the thing is. Knowing what we know now.

She's not impersonating her. She is her. She is her. Like, okay, so it's easy for everyone in the car right now. We're going to play you the clip. This is Nicole Scherzinger, but just see if you can picture that it's actually Britney Spears. Here we go.

Because thanks to Effin Vodka, we've got $250 cash to give away. Effin Vodka is effin refreshing. It is delicious, and let's hear some of the reasons why people are looking forward to give away. F'n vodka is F'n refreshing. It is delicious, and let's hear some of the reasons why people are looking forward to the weekend.

Georgina, say cheers to the F'n weekend for us and why. Cheers to the F'n weekend. I got a $100 parking ticket today and then accidentally spilt my coffee all over the parking warden as well. So a coffee and $100 down. Well, I was going to say, yeah, that's a positive and a negative. I'm just kidding. Yeah, I mean, shame on him. A $100 down. Well, I was going to say, yeah, that's a positive and a negative. I'm just kidding.

I mean, shame on him. $100 parking ticket? What were you doing? Where were you? So in an old derelict building site, and it was probably five minutes max when I came back, and it was clamped. Why are you parking in an old derelict building site?

Yeah, what are you up to? What are you, like some kind of superhero who hides in the shadows? Oh, I wish. I wish. Hey. No. You're in the running, Georgina. Wait there.

Let's get Daniel on. Go, Daniel. Hi, Dan. Hi, guys. Cheers to the effing weekend. Last night after a few drinks, I woke up to my flatmate doing number ones in my bedroom. I've had this before. I was on a stag do and I woke up to my best friend doing number ones on my folded up clothes at the end of my bed.

Could have been worse. It could have been worse. Yeah, it could have always been worse. We all know the situation where it could have been worse, but that's pretty bad, Dan. What did he do it on? Laundry basket. And was it clean or dirty laundry? Oh, dirty, but yeah.

So, yeah, nonetheless. There's something inside men. There's something inside men that makes us default to laundry. For some reason, a drunk guy will piss in the laundry basket. He'll piss in the wardrobe. He'll pee in a pile of clothes. It's something weirdly programmed into us. That's rough, Dan.

You're in the running. Very rough. And Lewis. G'day, Lewis. Hello, Lewis. How's it going? Good. Cheers to the effing weekend. Why are you saying cheers to the effing weekend? I was at site and I dropped my phone down the port-a-loo and I had to put my hand in and get it out.

You know who's done this? Producer Ben at Friday Jams last year. Oh, no, that's terrible. Yeah, no joke. We all went to the port-a-loos and Ben comes out and he goes, I think my phone fell down the port-a-loo. He goes, I'll be back. Ben was able to go back to the exact port-a-loo.

There was like 100 of them. He found the exact one, put his hand straight down. And it was just sitting there. It hadn't fallen all the way down yet, but it was sitting there before it went all the way down and I grabbed it. I gave you a true bro handshake at Friday Jams. I didn't know your hand had been in a port-a-loo. Oh, yeah, it had. What a hero. Yeah.

All right. Louis is in the running with his port-a-loo phone. $100 parking fine. Oh, this is hard. I like all of them. For Georgina. Daniel's flatmate peed in his laundry basket and Louis dropped his cell phone down a portaloo. Did he get it

back, the phone? Great question. Louis, did you get the phone back? Yeah, I was elbow deep in the portaloo fishing it out and I've got it back now. What model? Is it waterproof? Eh? Is it a waterproof phone? Yeah, it's a Samsung Galaxy S10.

You're good to go. You wouldn't bother retrieving a non-waterproof phone. That's true. The Port-A-Loo gods have it now. It's theirs now. I'm tempted to give it to him because... Wow, actually. Well, Georgina lost out a hundred bucks. Yeah.

The movie was Elbow Deep in a Port-A-Loo. But then Daniel had to wash his mate's wee off his clothes. Actually, great question. Let's just check with Daniel. Daniel, who washed the clothes? I get to do it. Airing them out.

Oh, why are you airing them out? No, you're disqualified. Oh, that's disgusting. I want to give it to Louis. Who do you want to give it to? Yeah, give it to Louis. Louis, congratulations. You've just won $250 it to? Yeah, give it to Louie. Louie, congratulations. You've just won $250 thanks to F and Vodka.

Yeah, boy! Cheers to the F and weekend, Louie. Get yourself a lanyard, okay? Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Yeah, that'll get you all the girls too. F and Vodka is premium vodka, sparkling water, and a hint of natural flavour, and it's perfectly balanced. And every Friday, we're going to say cheers to the effin' weekend.

Bree and Clint. Our next guest on the show is a mental health ambassador. She's a published author. And now she's got her own movie as well. Please welcome to the show, Jazz Thornton. Hey! How's that feel? Wow, that's great.

Is that enough things? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We couldn't fit everything else in We just had to pick the best ones You know, the biggest That you're doing at the moment Your movie, The Girl on the Bridge Was released on World Suicide Prevention Day

And it's now available for people to watch online How's the feedback been? How's that been to experience? It's been pretty surreal The feedback's been amazing But it's pretty weird seeing it finally go out into the world. We started doing this in 2017. It's been incredible. People from all over the world have been watching it. And the response has been amazing.

Jaz, unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about The Girl on the Bridge. But for people who have been living under a rock, can you give us a bit of a rundown about exactly what the movie is about? Yeah, sure. So they followed me for two and a half years whilst I was telling the story of a friend of mine, Jess, who took her own life in 2015. And the film really kind of uncovers the reality and the pain of advocacy because I've been doing a lot of media or speaking engagements where people see very much one side of me, is the you know strong fighting for people side but they don't see the me then getting off and you know having to talk someone down off a bridge so the film really kind of follows that journey of me trying to figure out what it is to be an advocate but also the hope and doing so it's quite interesting you saying that because i feel

like people who struggle with mental health it is very much like that people see a certain side to people a lot and the happy kind of go lucky and you know where they're laughing and they don't get to see that other side and that's something that i think is so amazing about this movie and what you're doing is you're trying to tell people we need to start talking about this more because that is going to be the biggest help for people struggling this film was it was hard for me to do because it's very exposing this was people seeing what i was going for me to do because it was very exposing. This was people seeing what I was going through

at the time. But I was like, man, we've got to start doing this. We've got to start talking. Desperate people relate to you because you've been there, right? You've been right at the brink of taking your own life before.

Yeah, absolutely. I spent months in a psych ward after trying to do that. And when I was in there, no one was talking about this. And I just wanted to know someone had got through it, which is why I choose to speak. So how do do you handle it Brie and I have got limited experience

in this field where because we we speak on mental health where we can and as soon as we do that the floodgates open and we have messages from people who say I'm going through this exact thing right now how do you handle that like we're not trained professionals you wouldn't have been a trained professional when you started getting these messages what do you do this was definitely I think one of the biggest things that came across in the film was me trying to figure that out because at the beginning i was trying to respond to every message i was on the phone to the police like every day yeah um to try to you know figure out these messages and what i realized was that it's not my job and it's not our job to save people our job is to speak hope our job is to um you know

be able to have those conversations and open it up. But if we try to put on the saviour cap, it destroys us in the process. Everything that I do, I'm pointing people towards professionals. Hey, make sure you call your GP, you reach out to 1737, you do these practical things because I can tell you that things can get better, but I can't physically be the person to save you. Yeah, absolutely. Do you think obviously COVID-19 and this year has been probably one of the hardest years our generation will ever go through, hopefully. Do you think we're going to see like lasting effects from that on mental health? 100%. I think that the end of this kind of COVID crisis is going to be just the beginning of the mental health crisis. If we're not addressing

it and being willing to, you know, facilitate change and access help now then we're going to see it it's more important that now than ever to get on it to a quick or else we're going to see yeah the lasting effects well to put it into perspective when covid was first um when it had been diagnosed as a this is an epidemic and this in the seven days that people died from covid, there was, I think it was 17 times the amount that people that took their own life at the same time. So we've labelled COVID as an epidemic, right? We've never labelled suicide as an epidemic, even though it is taking that times more

the amount of lives than COVID was. And that gives me goosebumps just to even think about it. And when you put it that way, it's like, we need to do something, and we need to take this so seriously. It's doom and gloom, but the movie's about hope isn't it yes very much so my whole you know my whole message is hope and i i kind of say you can't you can't address a problem without you know actually looking at the root causes of it and i guess you know that's the that is the doom and gloom of it

It is the way of the future. You know, save the planet. Captain Planet, he's our hero. Yeah. He's going to take pollution down to zero. Down to zero, correct. Except for this case, which I definitely don't agree with. I'm not for it.

I'm putting my name on it. I'm a big no on this recycled product. Okay, all right. Toxic Avenger. I'm very, very stern on this recycled product. Okay, all right. Toxic Avenger. I'm very, very stern on this, Clint. What are you not going to use? What recycled product are you refusing? There is an apartment or a facility, they're calling it,

that has been raided by police in Vietnam last week where they were found to be recycling a certain product. Yeah. Now, when I tell you what it is, I feel like you're going to be shocked. Okay. They were recycling condoms. I knew you were going to say that word. Yuck, why did you even say that?

Why did you say that? That's the most disgusting I've ever heard. So apparently, and this is a true story, it's horrible. Apparently they were processing used ones where they would wash, dry, and reshape them to then repackage them to look like new products. Just don't do it. And I don't mean the recycling bit. I mean the thing that the condoms...

No, I mean the thing that you use those things for. Just don't do it. What? If you have to use a recycled one, just don't have... Well, I don't know if people knew. Oh! Hence the police. Oh!

Makes me feel ill. I don't mean to sound like my Catholic sex education teacher, but just don't do it. Just don't do it. Don't do it. Yeah, don't do it. Yeah, cool. I mean, recycle some plastic like a normal person

and not that plastic. It is free in Clint. The podcast with mobile person. And not that plastic.
