Hi everybody, welcome to the Brie and Clint Podcast with Maddie
and if this works, check one two, check one two, Brie!
G'day guys, how are we?
Anastasia, is Brie on the video?
Is Brie on the video that you're recording for the Facebook page as well?
Brie is not currently on the video.
Hi Stage! But I can see you? Brie is not currently on the video. High stage!
But I can see you,
Brie, which you look nice.
Can she hear me? No. Anastasia, you're not doing your job? Is that...
Essentially,
yes, Maddy, that is correct.
That's correct. It's fine. It's okay.
I was just checking. No, no. Thank you
for checking. Brie,
I miss you. I miss you too. I, no. Thank you for checking. Bree, I miss you.
I miss you too.
I'll be back soon.
Today we bullied Anastasia for her misuse of hashtags.
Oh, God.
Which normally you'd be like, that's unfair.
But Maddie and I both reminded her, it's your goddamn job.
Okay?
You're the head of social media for this show.
Anastasia, laugh loudly if you need me to come back earlier.
He muted my mic.
We have Brie patched in.
This is actually a test because she's going to be on the show on Monday for our big Channing Tatum interview.
So big.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe the reception it's had online because we've obviously
been promoting it.
This means so much to so many people.
It's closure.
Yeah.
Or is it the start of something really beautiful?
What are you implying?
Because I'm into it.
He's dating Zoe Kravitz.
You're dating Sophia.
I feel like we could make it work.
Totally.
I feel like everybody could leave with somebody.
This might be a bit of a spoiler, but, I mean,
podcast listeners are our whanau, so we can do it.
Clint, do you feel like in the interview, because, I mean,
it airs on Monday, we're going to play it for everyone,
do you feel like Channing, when we confronted him about,
when I messaged him when we were in LA
and I asked him about him leaving me on read.
Yeah.
Do you feel like he kind of answered
without answering that he was like,
Jessie J was a bit crazy
so I wouldn't check my messages as much?
That's the vibe that I got.
The vibe I got was-
Me too.
Because he danced around it
and you'll hear this in the interview
and I was actually trying to get Anastasia
to edit that bit into a TikTok that she's making today because he danced around it, and you'll hear this in the interview, and I was actually trying to get Anastasia to edit that bit into a
TikTok that she's making today.
He danced around it, and his words are
something like,
look, it was a bit of a weird time
for me. I had a lot going on.
And I took it that
the Jessie J
relationship, because it was a lot.
That relationship happened really fast, and it came
on and it finished. But we were chasing him right at peak jesse j and if i'm jesse j when he was in the midst of the
pussy power yeah he was in the grips of it um but if i'm jesse j i don't want some crazy australian
bitch coming over and having a having a chat to my man yeah he dm'd you on instagram once
that makes it worse.
I definitely don't want him to talk to you.
He's been sliding in your DMs before me.
Look, I feel like if she had went on my Instagram
and seen the videos of me farting,
she wouldn't have been threatened.
I think she probably did go on your Instagram.
Oh my God, imagine if she did.
Anyway, the big meeting between Brie and Channing,
which I'm just along for the ride of, very third wheel vibes.
Did you say anything at all?
There's me and there's also the director of the movie, the co-director.
We're both in there.
Really?
At one point I look at him and I'm like, are you a good man?
He's like, I'm good.
He was really good about it.
Yeah, he was so lovely.
That airs on Monday on the show,
and Bree will be on the show for us to do that as well.
Also, can I jump in?
Oh, who's that?
Yeah.
Who do you think it is?
Oh, Ben, hi.
Tomorrow we were going to post an exclusive clip
just for the podcast family.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, cool.
So it'll be a 30-second, 15,
a little snippet of what to expect from Monday.
Post that one.
Or have you already got it ready? Yeah, I've got it ready. It's-second, 15, a little snippet of what to expect from Monday. Post that one. Or have you already got it ready?
Yeah, I've got it ready.
It's a minute, and it's a different moment, but arguably just as good.
Okay, cool.
Ooh.
Is it the bit where he gets his schlong out and does a helicopter?
Yeah, that was my favorite.
Can you?
Yeah, it's that one.
That was top three moment for me.
It was only top three.
And he goes, look, Bree, no hands.
And I'm like, I knew you'd be uncircumcised

You're not allowed to ask them about it in interviews, Matty
You're not allowed to ask the chain smokers about

You have three elder millennials on the
conversation today. I feel like
this can't lose this song.
It's this for me.
Is this for all of us?
Yep.
There we go.
Oh, that wasn't
very smooth.
Semi-professional DJ
over here.

Here's your
international birthday banger.
Bye.
Bye. What time is it? Now! Three, two, one! ZM's Bree and Clint with guest host Maddie McLean.
Good morning everybody and welcome to the show.
It's Bree and Clint with Maddie.
And it's Friday!
And it's three days in a row that I haven't talked over your name on the intro.
Thank God.
It's only taken you a month.
It was going to be fixed it.
It's that millisecond pause.
That's what it is.
Yeah, I'm like a high-performance athlete.
I've got fast-twitch fibres.
Right.
So if there's a tiny gap, I'll fill it.
I'll fill it.
I'll fill it.
You stop talking for a second, I'll fill it.
So you're the Usain Bolt of radio.
Pretty much, yeah.
I'm the LeBron James of talking crap on the radio.
And this afternoon, I plan on scoring a triple-double.
I bet you will.
It's a basketball reference.
Guys, I get basketball.
I understand.
Today on the show,
we're going to find
Clark Gayford.
Do you know where he is?
No, but I think
with our collective,
you know...
The power of the people.
With the network
of eyes and ears
that we have around
the motu this afternoon,
I think we can find him easily.
If we're the ones
to find him,
what a coup. What a coup for this show. It's like the secret sound this afternoon. I think we can find him easily. If we're the ones to find him, what a coup.
What a coup for this show.
It's like the secret sound.
Instead of guessing what the noise is,
you have to find the Prime Minister's husband.
Is he on a boat?
Is he in a paddy wagon?
Is he in court?
Is he at home looking after the kids?
If you've ever thought,
if you've ever watched The Amazing Race
and thought, I could win that,
here's your chance to prove it right here on this show.
Is he moving a house?
Yeah.
Is he DJing at Chapel Bar on Ponsonby Road?
The possibilities are endless.
Totally.
So it's the greatest competition in radio this afternoon.
Fine, Clark Gaifert.
But we trust you to do the job.
Job done.
Also on the show, two shots at The Secret Sound.
Do you know what this noise right here is?
If you do,
today it's worth 50 grand,
a measly $50,000
after no one was able to get it
on $100,000 day yesterday.
Still, 50K.
I know, right?
I wouldn't kick it out of bed.
Set your life up 50 grand.
Totally.
It'll get you moving easily.
So you can guess that
at four and five o'clock today.
But we'll start the show
with Tradie vs. Lady. If you want to play that, you can guess that at 4 and 5 o'clock today. But we'll start the show with Tradie vs. Lady.
If you want to play that, you can call us now
on 0800DIALS.ZM. We need a
Tradie and a Lady to play the game

the song, which Maddie and I will be singing for Friday

it's going to be us.
Yeah.
Okay?
Either Duplessy Ellen's on maternity leave.
She can't find him.
And I don't know any other drive shows.

And I'm not walking out of here on a Friday afternoon
Feeling disappointed alright
Where are you gayfords?
Bree and Clint
Tradie vs Lady
It's actually the first question in Tradie vs Lady today
Let's meet our contestants today.
Our lady is 30 years old.
She's from Cambridge.
Horse country.
No.
And her partner and her are both called Sam.
Welcome to the show, Sam.
Hi, Sam.
Does that get awkward?
Sometimes.
We don't have the same last name, so it's all right.
No, fair enough.
Well, you will when you get married.
Or maybe not.
Yeah, one day. Yours is short will when you get married. Or maybe not.
Yeah, one day.
Yours is short for Samantha. What is his short for?
Samuel.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Do you ever full name him? Do you ever call him Samuel?
Yeah, most of the time.
I thought I had a revolutionary point there.
I was like, oh my God, Sam isn't short for anything.
But no, you're right, it's Samuel.
Okay, let's meet your opposition today.
They are 28.
They're from Wellington and they like collecting Makita tools.
That's lucky that they're representing the tradies then.
Welcome to the show, Cameron.
Hi lads, how are we?
Good, how are you doing?
I'm not too bad, mate, not too bad.
What's your favourite Makita tool?
It'd have to be the radio, mate.
Yeah.
Oh, what a great answer.
Yeah.
Followed closely by that tiny little blue Makita air blower that they do,
the little pencil-sized one.
Yeah, that's not bad either, mate.
I've actually got the bigger-sized one, which actually blows a lot more air.
Well, of course it does,
but the little one's good for getting in those tiny crevices, right?
Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong, actually.
Yeah, they do get in there quite tight.
I can relate.
Okay, Cameron, your buzzer is tradie.
Sam, your buzzer is lady.
First to three correct answers gets $50 cash.
Thanks to KFC.
Good luck to both of you.
All right, question number one.
Blair True compared to Burling.
I've talked about the moment they first teamed up together.
What sport do they compete in?
Tradie.
Cameron.
Sailing? Sailing.
Sailing is correct.
Question number two.
Yeah, you got it.
Oh, he's happy about that.
That was the Makita hammer he was banging just there.
Question number two.
The Prime Minister delivered a speech today about the future of tourism in this country
from the adventure capital of New Zealand or possibly the world.
What town was she in?
Lady.
Yes, Sam.
Queenstown.
Got it, Sam.
Well done.
My hometown.
Or as I like to call it,
the poor man's Rotorua.
Question number three.
You keep telling yourself.
We're managed in Queenstown.
I'm from Rotorua.
Rivalry runs deep.
We've both got a luge.
Ours is remarkably better.
Yours is faster.
And better.
But also you're more likely to break your wrist.
Ours is remarkably better.
Yours has a view of the remarkable.
That's the difference.
Question number three.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has filmed a pretty passionate video
about the war in Ukraine today.
What is his most famous catchphrase?
Tradie.
Yes, Cameron.
I'll be back.
Oh, I like it.
You put on the accent as well.
Yeah, well done.
Okay, two to the tradies, one to the ladies.
Question number four.
Coast radio host Sam Wallace is getting married today.
What New Zealand children's TV show did Sam used to host?
Lady?
Yes, Sam.
What Now?
No.
So close.
Cameron, you want a free guess?
I only got Sticky TV.
He was on Sticky TV.
He's done it.
And with that iconic Kiwi answer, you get the win.
We'll give you 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC
and that will buy you one quarter of a Makita battery pack
for your blower, okay?
Thanks, guys.
You're welcome, man.
Another win for the tradies.
Exactly.
Brie and Clint.
It's 25 after three and Maddie's had a whoopsie.
So what happened was I got this
email and you know sometimes you're
kind of absentmindedly on your phone and you
get a notification. Yeah. Well this
happened to me. I got a notification that I had
a Gmail email.
Yep. And so I opened it up
and I just, I read
it without thinking of the context
or without looking at who had sent me
the message.
Right.
And it just said,
Hey, Maddie, I promise to always be your friend, lover,
and most importantly, your family,
from this day until our very last days, forever.
Wow, that's romantic.
And I went, oh my God, this is so intense.
I was like, Ryan does not send me this kind of stuff.
First of all, we don't email each other,
so why is Ryan sending me an email?
By the way, the water bill's late.
See, well, this is not the kind of language he would use.
And then I realised what had actually happened
was I'm a marriage celebrant.
As you well know, I officiated your wedding.
Yes, you celebrated my marriage.
I celebrated, big time, with quite a lot of champagne.
From memory.
Thank you for that.
My pleasure.
Thank you for making us legally pleasure. Thank you for making us
legally married.
I think I did.
Yeah.
Anyway,
what happened is
I'm a celebrant tomorrow
for a wedding.
Yeah.
So what this actually was
was just the groom
of the wedding
sending me his vows.
Right.
Because I said to the couple,
send me your vows,
I'll print them off.
It's just one thing
you don't have to worry about.
Bring with you on the day.
I'll make sure you've got them. Leave it
to me. So he was doing what I
had asked of him, but just the way the email
was structured and the fact that I wasn't really paying
attention to who had sent it to me
caused a little bit of confusion
in the first instance. So I
thought, this is hilarious.
And so my first instinct was
to take a screenshot of it and send it
to the bride to say
this is brilliant, look at what your
husband-to-be has just sent me
you can appreciate why I would find this funny
and then I realised, oh shit
vows are meant to be
That's the vows!
That's the big surprise! Yeah, they're only meant to be
exchanged on the day
in the moment.
He's waiting to see what your dress looks like and you're waiting to see what he has to say to you at the aisle.
And now I've blown it, you know.
So then all of a sudden I sent about five texts in a row going,
do not read, don't read, I've sent this by mistake,
please don't read, capital letters, block letters.
I tried calling her immediately.
Delete my message.
Delete my message.
Yeah.
Thankfully,
she read my messages from the bottom up. So she knew
exactly what to do. So she did stop.
Good for her. Not everybody
would be able to stop. I wouldn't have that.
You telling me that there was a
message that I'm not meant to see is
going to increase my want to see that message
tenfold. I have no willpower.
No, no, no. So I'm definitely reading those vows.
Also for her, it's very bold because the big thing about vows is,
have I matched what they're saying?
Like, have I got this right?
Mine is good.
Yeah, yeah.
So if I were her, I'd be like, I want to know if I've got this right.
Yeah, yeah.
And she's adamant.
She deleted them and didn't read them.
But I felt like such an idiot. I was like, my one job.
Like, my one job. Well, it's a huge,
and I say this with love, it's a huge professional
fail for me. Totally. You know?
I'm willing to admit that.
It's, um, you've got a couple of key
jobs there. Yeah. And you've
essentially sent a Snapchat of the bride
in her dress to the groom.
That's similar, right?
Very similar.
Yeah, yeah.
But it sounds like you've avoided disaster, so well done.
I think so.
You'll find out tomorrow.
If she starts mouthing along to the vows as he's saying them,
if she starts like...
Or she just looks really disinterested.
She's like, I've heard this before.
Then you'll know that she read them.
Yeah.
I thought we could take some calls this afternoon
Because you are absolutely not the first person to do this
Can we take some calls on when you sent the important message
To the wrong person
Please
Like you had some information that was crucial
Yeah
And it shouldn't have been shared with a certain person
And yet that's the exact person that you sent it to
Was it a bitchy text that you sent to a
friend about someone else but
you accidentally sent it to the person you were bitching about?
Was it details about the surprise
party that you sent to the
person that the surprise party was for?
You know, that sort of thing. Did you send
the important message to the one person
that shouldn't have received the message?
We'd love to hear about that this afternoon. You can
call us on 0800DIALZM
or you can text us on
9696 and we can get your stories on.
If you're still reeling from it, we can keep
you anonymous if you need to, okay?
Yeah, this is a safe space. Very easily done.
Bree and Clint.
I made a real mistake
yesterday. Big boo-boo.
Big boo-boo. I'm a marriage
celebrant and I
say to the couples before
the ceremony, send me your vows
because that
way it's just one less thing for you to have to worry
about on the day. I'll print them off, I'll just bring them with me.
And the bride doesn't have to walk up the
aisle holding cue cards.
Or shoving cue cards down her
cleavage or something.
I got an email yesterday from the groom,
which was his vows,
but the way it was structured, it was very funny
and it didn't immediately strike me
that these were vows that I was reading.
So I thought it would be funny if I sent it to the bride to say,
look at what your husband-to-be has sent me.
Lol, this is funny.
This is funny.
And then I realised, oh my God, she's not meant to see this.
This is his big declaration of love to her.
I can't send these to her.
Manny was here in the studio when it happened
and all I heard was, can you unsend a text message?
Immediately my brain went, oh my God, what have I done?
Also, by the way, side note, it's 2022.
Why can't we unsend text messages?
The big mistake, right? Even an iMessage? Why can't we unsend text messages? The big mistake, right?
Even an iMessage?
Why can't you withdraw an iMessage?
Oh, yes, true.
But you can on Facebook Messenger.
You can on WhatsApp.
You can on Instagram.
On DMs.
Steve Jobs is dead.
But if you're listening, is that what you're going to say?
Sort it out.
Tim Cook is the man that you need.
Thank God.
Steve Jobs.
What I meant to say was Steve Jobs, we miss you.
But Tim Cook, if you're listening.
Tim Cook, if you're listening, please help us out.
Steve Wozniak, if you're listening.
We would love to be able to unsend.
Good save, good save.
Thank you.
Let's go to some calls.
Chelsea's here.
Hi, Chelsea.
Hello.
You sent an important message to the person it wasn't meant to go to, right?
Yep.
Yes, I did.
What did you do?
The person that we were in a very long and lengthy
and difficult performance management process
Ah
And were you
I mean I've got limited knowledge of HR
but were you trying to performance manage them
out of the job?
Yes, they were not happy, we were not happy
the whole thing was not happy
and I'm not the HR manager
but I was sending a message to the HR manager
About the person Yep Yep, correct.
How did that go down?
Not well. And here's the
other thing, was this a face-to-face
thing? Did you send it
while you were in the room with this
person? Thank God, no.
But it was
pretty much the crux. It ended everything
and we ended up having to...
You know, the ironic thing is, they could take you to HR for that.
Yes, yes.
My HR manager was not happy with me at all.
Okay, Chelsea, good on you.
We live and we learn, right?
Emily's here.
Hi, Em.
G'day.
How you doing?
Good.
You sent the message to the person the message shouldn't have gone to?
No, I was on the receiving end.
Oh, no.
Emily, what did you get?
So it was back when I was a teenager,
and me and my family were on like a three-hour car ride to Christchurch,
and we'd had an argument or something,
and so my dad had tried to talk to me,
and I just wasn't engaging,
and so we meant to send a text to my mum being like, I tried talking to her she's not responding you deal with her she's being difficult
and i received the message wow is it look as a teenager as well isn't that just the worst message
to get from a parent absolutely i was like 13 or 14 and I was furious. Like I immediately screamed and I was like,
Dad, you sent that to me?
How could you?
My brothers thought it was hilarious.
My mum was just like, are you kidding me?
You had one job and you couldn't do that.
And I say this with love to you.
As far as trying to rein in a stroppy teenager goes,
that's tantamount to pouring fuel on the fire, right?
Honest to God, it was the longest trip to Christchurch my family's ever taken.
Are you and your dad in speaking terms now?
Yes, but I still remind him of it every time.
Like, he tried to get me to do something,
but do you remember that time where you bad-mouthed me to mum
and you sent me that text?
You should remind him via text message about that you sent to him.
Okay, thank you, Emily.
We'll talk to Harry finally.
G'day, Haz.
Harry.
Oh, yeah.
Hello.
You sent a message to the person it shouldn't have gone to?
Yeah, I had a little group chat with my wife and my boss.
And one morning my boss annoyed me
quite a lot
so I decided
to send a message
to the wife
just to have a little
rant
get out of my system
chuck a few
F-bombs in there
but I sent it
to the group
with my wife
and my boss
can I just
rewind a bit
why are you in a
group chat
with your boss
and your wife
we're mates and we did stuff well I say mates we were acquaintances chat with your boss and your wife?
We're mates and we did stuff, well, I say mates.
We were acquaintances that did things
outside of work as well.
You've committed the cardinal sin of blurring
the lines, Harry.
You've literally combined
work and pleasure.
You've put them both in the same group chat
together. How did it go down? Was your boss
understanding? Did they see the funny sides?
I've never spoken to him about it since.
Ignore, ignore, ignore.
Pretend it didn't happen.
Bree and Clint.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio, this is the latest.
Rose Metafayo is a god damn National treasure That woman
Every time I see
The stuff that she's doing
On the world stage
You have that real
Kiwi thing
Where you're so proud
That a New Zealander
Could be out there
Doing that
And you go
I know her
She's ours
She's from here
She was on Jono and Ben
She was on You Lie
That's right
She was on the
New Zealand comedy gala
Yeah
She has her Television show Starstruck,
which is in its second season,
which is not just a TV show.
It's a good TV show that has been produced
by the goddamn BBC.
And it's a good TV show produced by the goddamn BBC,
picked up by HBO Max in the US,
that she wrote, directed, and starred in.
And stars in.
And she's brought some of her Kiwi mates along with her to make it.
It's one of those classic Kiwi success stories
where she's gone,
Nick Sampson, your crack up.
I've worked with you way back in Jono and Ben.
We both live in London now.
Let's continue making the show together.
Anyway, you might have seen her on Graham Norton a few weeks ago.
We don't get this show here, so you might have missed this.
She's appeared on
Stephen Colbert's show
and here's a little bit of her
and the Stephen Colbert
talking on
late night American television.
Rose Matafail.
Why am I here?
How am I here?
Because you're really funny.
That's why you're here.
Stop it.
Now, you're from New Zealand
for the people out there
who don't know.
Yes, exactly.
She's so good.
She's so good. She's so good.
And to get an interview on a late night talk show in the US is such a big deal.
They have to agree that the general American population,
which is enormous and fickle,
give a crap about what you have to talk about.
Yeah, would want to hear from this person.
And they do.
Which says two things.
One, I guess speaks to the fact that Stephen Colbert loves New Zealand.
There's that.
He's visited here before.
Yeah, he's been obsessed with Jacinda Ardern.
And the Lord of the Rings.
Yeah.
But also just speaks to the fact that Rose's show is clearly like doing so well on the international stage.
It's awesome.
Yeah, it's a proud Kiwi moment.
So that is very cool.
That show, if you want to check it out, is called Starstruck,
and it's on TVNZ On Demand.
Brian Clint.
I have found a list of, it's titled, look, I'll just read you the title of it.
I don't want to gender this too much.
Sure.
I'm going to read you the title.
Women share the craziest lies men have told them.
Look, look, look, as an equal opportunist, I would like to say that everybody lies.
Sure.
However, every example that I'm about to give you
is a lie told from a man to a woman.
And I feel like there's probably a difference
in the lies that men and women tell.
Women are smart liars.
Men are dumb liars.
Well, you say that.
You haven't heard any of the lies yet, okay?
So they said, this is how the thread started. Ladies, what say that. You haven't heard any of the lies yet. Okay. So they said,
this is how the thread started.
Ladies,
what is the worst lie
you have heard
come out of a man's mouth?
Apparently,
men are quite creative
with their lies.
I'm going to read you
a few examples
and you can judge for yourself.
Someone said,
I found a bra
in his suitcase
and he said
it was from
when he was fat
years back.
He said he had saggy titties
and kept it to remind
him of how far
he's come in his weight loss journey.
I mean it's good.
It's good.
It's hard to fault that one. And look
weight loss journeys are hard. You're not going to
fault a guy's weight loss journey, are you?
Here's another lie.
I found a condom wrapper near his bed, which we didn't use,
and he said it was a ghost.
He was genuinely upset when I did not believe him.
That was a ghost.
Okay, okay, keep it together These are the worst lies women have heard from men
We went out for dinner
He started getting sick
He knew that I would panic and tell him to go home for his meds
So he dropped me off at my place
He went to his place to drink his meds and get some sleep.
And then I bumped into him at another restaurant
with another girl a few hours later.
Using your illness.
How could you?
These are the worst lies women have heard from men.
He said he booked the hotel room because he needed Wi-Fi.
Yeah, because hotels are known for their really strong internet connections.
Go to McDonald's.
Go to Starbucks.
Come on, men.
Do better.
My friend had a fling.
Fling sent his friend to call and say that he had cancer.
Monday, stage one.
Thursday, stage four.
Sunday, funeral.
All in a week, the dude faked his own death.
Years later, I saw him in traffic.
He just didn't know how to break it off.
That's like when you got your part-time job
and about eight of your grandparents
die while you work. Totally.
Totally.
How is he? Oh, not good.
Not good.
He broke up with me
by saying he moved back to his home
country. He kept this lie
going for two years
and would periodically hit me up
pretending he was in a completely different time zone.
Turns out he was 15 minutes away with his other girlfriend.
Look, points for creativity.
Totally, and that's what this hinges off, right?
It's very, you've gone deep.
You've gone real deep in the lie and too deep to back out of it. Totally, and that's what this hinges off, right? It's very, you've gone deep. Yeah. You've gone real deep in the lie
and too deep to back out of it.
Totally.
And that's the thing.
This guy's got to live this lie for two years.
He's got a green screen where he's posting photos
with like palm trees behind him.
He's like the Tinder swindler.
Still loving the Bahamas.
He's like, oh, I'm so tired.
I've just woke up.
What time is it where you are?
He disappeared for three days and said he was sleeping.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
One more, one more.
Just one more.
These are the worst lies women have heard from men.
My friend said she found a pregnancy test, but it was negative.
She didn't take the pregnancy test.
Her boyfriend said it was
his and he wanted to see if
it worked on males too.
That's fair.
It's just science.
It's a flawless lie.
If the test was positive,
that lie wouldn't have worked so well.
But it was negative.
But he was able to go, babe, I ain't pregnant.
It works.
It checks out. Story checks.
I wonder if we can take some calls this afternoon or text messages as well. We can just
read these out for you if you want to.
And like I said, look, it says
men, but it could be anyone, but it's
probably going to be men. Yeah, it's definitely going to be men.
What are the worst lies that
a man has told you?
The more creative, the better.
Feel free to share them with us anonymously if you need to.
But our phone lines are open and our text line is open as well.
0800 dials at M, text to 9696.
Share the lies with us.
We have stumbled upon a rich vein of content this afternoon.
I don't know if I love or hate men right now.
As a man, it's quite confronting
what we're getting. We've asked you
what are the worst lies that
a man has ever told you
and boy have you guys risen to the challenge
with some of the messages you've sent in.
Lies men have told me.
My boyfriend
had hickeys all over his neck
one day and he tried saying him and the bro were playing with the vacuum.
Guys, do that, babe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We do that.
You get the vacuum, you put it on your neck.
Yeah, it's what we do.
Yeah.
And then we play rugby.
That's how we bond.
Stacey's called up. Hi, we do. Yeah. And then we play rugby. That's how we bond. Stacey's called up.
Hi, Stacey.
Hi.
That was your text message.
Oh, that was your story.
That was your boyfriend.
Wow.
Yes, that was my boyfriend.
Did you believe him?
My ex-boyfriend.
Did you believe him, like, for a minute?
I kind of did, only because his mate joined in.
I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, no, we were playing with the vacuum.
And I was like, okay then.
But then after a while, he came up with even more lies.
I was just like, nah, this guy is something else.
Did he ever own up to it or did he stick with it?
Did he die with the lie?
Yeah, right.
He still kept saying that him and the bra were playing with the vacuum.
Babe, I just love vacuuming.
Thanks, Stacey.
Have a great weekend.
This one's a bit more innocent.
He told me that he didn't know
how to use the washing machine,
but he forgot
that he taught me
how to use it
when we first
moved in together.
Someone said
I was dating a guy
who said that he was
going to Christchurch for work
and that him and the guys had made a rule that they wouldn't text their partners while they were away.
So I never heard from him for two months.
I got a text from him without any explanation.
So I just dumped him.
Well, yeah, after two months, I'd assume the relationship was just over, right?
Someone said I got to send a photo of my boyfriend at the time
in a sleeping bag with another girl.
There was a condom wrapper in the photo
and I got told they were just cuddling because it was cold
and I should be glad that he was such a gentleman.
Babe, I was just keeping you warm.
She was cold.
Babe, mum raised me right.
Mum raised me right.
Just give her your sleeping bag then.
Oh, no, I was cold too.
It's called chivalry.
Look it up.
She was shivering.
I had to be chivalrous, babe.
Rachel's here.
Hey, Rach.
Hiya.
What happened, Rach?
We're talking about the worst lies men have ever told.
What was it?
Yeah, so my partner and I had been together for just over a year at this point,
and we talked a lot online,
and he'd sent me a screenshot of something on his phone,
but I had noticed a Tinder notification.
Up the top,
the little Tinder badge at the top.
Yeah.
I know what you're talking about.
Yeah,
we're like fire emoji.
Oh,
rookie era.
Yeah.
And I was like,
oh,
so what's that about?
And he told me
that his friend
had dared him
to download Tinder
and to try out
pick up lines.
Yeah, totally.
Because that's what mates do when they hang out, right?
Oh, yeah.
It's totally rational.
It was a dare, babe.
I had to do it.
Okay.
What?
You can't take a joke, Rach?
Rach, come on.
You don't want the boys to call me a pussy, do you?
Yeah, it took a few times of me confronting him about it before he finally first told me.
And did you break up?
No, we're still together.
We managed to get through it.
Wait, stop the show.
You stayed together?
Yeah, well, we kind of had a small break
and then managed to kind of get over it.
We were quite young at that point.
Do you have the pin to his phone?
Are you allowed
to periodically
or randomly check
that he doesn't have
Tinder, Bumble, Grindr,
anything on his phone?
Back then,
like, when we reconciled,
I, like,
he let me have to look
through his phone periodically.
Like, I'm not that type
of person at all.
Which phone did he
let you look through?
Shit.
The burner.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding. Hey, good for you. Now you're making me overthink it. Oh, burner. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Hey, good for you.
Now you're making me overthink it.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
You're fine, Rach.
You're fine.
It's Maddie and I are burnt.
We've heard too many lies this afternoon.
Totally, yeah.
Maddie and I don't trust anybody anymore.
You need to do this again.
It's fantastic.
It's good, eh?
Yeah.
It's great.
Next week we'll do women's lies,
although I don't think they'll be as much smarter.
Yeah.
Told me I must have got
a sexually transmitted disease
from a toilet seat.
Shop bro.
Hospitality has had
a heck of a couple of years.
We know that.
The cafes are struggling.
The bars are struggling.
The restaurants are struggling.
Not just for customers
they're also struggling
for staff
at the moment as well.
Usually you'd have like swathes of tourists coming through the country
who are only here for two years and they need work like that.
And they're really keen to take anything and everything.
They'll work in a bar.
They'll work in a restaurant.
They'll work in a cafe.
They'll do whatever they need to do to be able to earn some money
while they're in this beautiful part of the world.
Yeah, but the borders have been shut and they can't do that.
It's not just been our problem, it's the world's problem at the moment.
That's why there's a cafe in Australia at the moment called The Good Cartel
who are advertising a job for a barista to make coffee.
Right.
And they are willing to pay $92,000 Australian dollars a year for this job.
Cha-ching. That's almost $100,000 New dollars a year for this job. Cha-ching.
That's almost $100,000 New Zealand dollars to make coffee.
For some perspective, the average barista in New Zealand earns $45,000 a year.
Yeah, right. That sounds about right.
So it's more than double.
The catch is, well, also, you don't need any experience for this job.
Right, they'll teach you on the job?
They'll teach you.
You'll be expected to work about 47 hours
a week, which is a little bit more than usual,
but not heaps more. You have to work
on weekends, but you get
almost 100 grand. The main catch
is you have to move to Broome, and
I don't know much about Broome. Right, it's in
Western Australia. Is it? What do you know about it?
I know it's in Western Australia, and I'm
assuming it's kind of
middle of nowhere?
Right.
You've managed to wrangle an expert for us to talk to this afternoon.
Yeah.
Please welcome to the show, Robin.
Hi, Robin.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
So you're a Broome local.
I am.
Oh, well, you've got to tell us about Broome, because right at this very minute, this job at this cafe is sounding very enticing.
It is.
So, Broome is on a peninsula, and we're famous for our cable beach, 22 kilometres of pristine white sand.
Yeah.
And on the other side of the Broome Peninsula is Roebuck Bay, which is tidal flat.
Yeah, beautiful colours, red, red soil, white sand, blue sky.
It's really, really beautiful.
What's the coffee like?
Well, it's very good at Good Cartel.
Yeah?
Yeah, so it's actually run by siblings, Jack, Joey and Kitty,
and they're from New Zealand.
Are they really?
Yeah, they're Kiwi.
So we'd have a good in then, Robin.
Yeah.
A Kiwi connection if we wanted this job.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's a lot of money to make coffee.
Yeah, it's a hell of a lot of money.
And that's what I'm wondering,
because I assume it's a pandemic-based thing
where there's a shortage of hospo staff.
Or is it not?
We've always heard that there's better wages in Australia.
Does everybody in Australia make that kind of money? No, that's a shortage of hospo staff. Or is it not? We've always heard that there's better wages in Australia. Does everybody in Australia make that kind of money?
No, that's a lot.
And look, I don't know all the details,
but I imagine it's a bit of a package.
It might include accommodation.
I'm really not sure.
Oh, okay.
But they need everything.
They need someone for the bath,
someone for the food preparation in the kitchen and barista.
Yeah, it's really popular.
They do a drive-through.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, but, you know, normally backpackers still, you know,
Yeah, that's what we thought.
and the bar staff and making coffee,
but there doesn't seem to be as many in the country.
But now that all the borders are open, hopefully we'll get more people.
More Kiwis.
Yeah, exactly.
Robin, what's there to do in Broome? Like, if you moved to Broome for the job, what would that all the borders are open, hopefully we'll get more people. More Kiwis. Yeah, exactly. Robin, what's it to do in Broome?
Like, if you moved to Broome for the job, what would you end up doing?
What would you be doing?
For fun.
Yeah, for fun.
You mean when you're not making coffee?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's like, what do you do to keep yourself entertained in Broome?
Sell it to us.
Yeah, so you would have a sunset cocktail overlooking beautiful Cable Beach.
Yes, keen.
You go fishing, camping, and it's a lot of tourism here.
Yeah.
Our population triples in the season, so we're about 17,000 people,
but during the season it triples.
People love it here because the environs, you know, the colours.
Yeah.
It's in the Kimberley region in the northwest of Western Australia.
Sounds stunning.
We don't have anything poisonous here in New Zealand
how's your snake and spider quota over there?
we've got loads of poisonous stuff
loads of things that can kill you
but that just makes it exciting right Robin?
yeah yeah
you get adrenaline from the coffee
you get adrenaline from the wildlife
hey that sounds bloody good
my favorite's for pearls
I don't know if you know that
pearls?
yeah pearls pearls? it's the biggest and the best pearls in the world Oh, God. Hey, that sounds bloody good. We're famous for pearls. I don't know if you know that. Pearls? Yeah, pearls.
Pearls?
We produce the biggest and the best pearls in the world.
Well, you're going to need $98,000 a year to be able to buy all the pearl jewelry.
Hey, Robin, you're a great...
They're a fun crew to work for.
They're really lovely siblings.
Nice young guy.
Yeah, sounds like it.
And Joey and Jack, yeah.
Hey, Robin, you're a great ambassador for Broome.
Totally.
Thank you for selling us the dream this afternoon.
Thank you.
Thanks for calling.
Our pleasure.
There you go.
Come to Broome.
Come to Western Australia.
You'll love it.
If you want to earn some serious money,
maybe you need to head over to Strayer, everybody.
And make some coffees.

Always On My Mind.

Remember, they went into that barn and Tiki Tane was in there performing this song
He was everywhere

Hey, congrats, Amy.
We'll get you some KFC chicken dollars. Sorry, Cole, not our week.
Brie and Clint. And now it our week. Brie and Clint.
And now it's time for Brie and Clint's most popular segment,
Friday Okie.
I love Friday Okie.
It's the best.
I listen every Friday.
I never miss Friday Okie.
Thanks, Brie and Clint.
You've made my Friday again.
Friday Okie. New Zealand's favourite radio segment.
That's such good testimonials as well.
True and honest.
True and honest.
Well, they're about Bree and I, those ones.
But yours have been good too.
Thanks.
So, Maddie and I, while Bree's away,
are going head-to-head in a singing battle.
We each spend just 15 minutes
with a professional audio engineer
and we make our covers sound
as good as we possibly can.
This week a song I've chosen very
close to Maddie's heart.
We're calling out his coming out song Natasha Bedingfield.
You told a story this week
about your coming out ceremony
which involved this song.
So when I was about 20 I started telling people that
I was gay and my friend's mum, who was a celebrant,
wrote me a coming out ceremony
for my friends to perform for me
and this was the song I officially came out to.
Beautiful.
I mean, if the shoe fits, right?
After studying the lyrics, so quite fitting.
It's quite an apt song, isn't it?
Apt and I would say camp.
Totally. It's say camp. Totally.
It's high camp.
Totally.
So to honour you in that special moment,
I've decided we should sing that song as our Friday Okie this week.
And because I've chosen it, I will play my one first,
and then we'll hear your one.
Great.
And then you guys get to vote.
We need five people to choose the winner.
I've twisted it a bit.
I've decided that this week I'll be presenting to you the
toxic masculinity
repressed feelings version of
Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten.
Okay?
This guy, for lack of a better name,
this guy's name is Gary and he's not
particularly in touch with his feelings
but he's given it a good go. So this is
my Friday Okie this week. The toxic
masculinity edition. Here it comes. What, you want me to sing about my feelings? Oh. but he's given it a good go. So this is my Friday Okie this week, the Toxic Masculinity Edition.
Here it comes.
What, you want me to sing about my feelings?
Oh, right, I guess I could.
I mean, do I have any feelings?
F*** it, I'll give it a go.
I am unwritten
I can't read my mind
Cos I'm undefined
Like that? Is that what you want?
OK.
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before me
Open up my dirty windows
Let the sun illuminate the words that I cannot find.
Reaching for something in the distance, so close I can almost taste it.
Release my inhibitions, oh f*** it's getting me.
Feel the rain on my skin, no one else can feel it for me, only I can let it in.
No one else, no one else can speak the words on my lips.
Drench yourself in words unspoken.
Live your life with arms wide open.
Today is where your book begins.
The rest is still unwritten.
Was that cathartic?
It was, actually.
Spoiler.
I'm Gary.
Whereas for my Friday-okey attempt this week,
I decided to channel 2008 Maddie.
Oh, right.
As I was the journey of me coming out of the closet.
Straight Maddie transitioning into gay Maddie.
Exactly.
Wow, okay, well then I'm expecting an emotional journey on yours this afternoon.
Here it comes.
This is Matty's Natasha Bedingfield for Friday Okie.
After you hear this, we're going to ask you to vote on who did the best.
G'day guys, it's Matty here.
You might know me as a chick-loving, beer-swilling straight dude,
but guess what?
It's 2007 and I'm coming out of the closet.
I'm gay, bitches!
I am unwritten. Can't read my mind. I'm undefined.

Feel the rain on your skin

Only you can let it in.

Drench yourself in words unspoken.
Live your life with arms wide open.

The rest is still unwritten.

Happy Friday, guys.
Happy Friday.
Give us some constructive
criticism first. That's the only way we'll grow.
Okay.
Look, Clint, I got
through, I think, five seconds of your song
and I was just like, no, yelling at my
radio. That's the only criticism I can give.
But you know what?
That wasn't constructive at all.
Yes, I'm so sorry.
That was just straight out criticism.
That was a cry for help.
You might win next Friday, Declan.

It pays to come out.
I can feel it in my man loins that today is going to be a good one.
I've got that feeling too.
Down in your man loins?
It's right there.
Ruminating in your reproductive bits?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me too.
That's where I feel most things.
That's how I know I'm on the right track.
You know you're alive.
People say trust your heart.
I say trust my man bits.
Let's meet our contestants who didn't ask for any of that.

Okay, well, you need a birthday banger too.
Let's do yours.
What year were you born, Nicole?
I was born in 1992.
Okay, Nicole, you were 16 on the 18th of March 2008,
and this is your birthday banger.
Hey!
I make no bones about the fact that Usher is
probably my number one artist.
He's the GOAT.
I love him, he's the GOAT.
So I love this birthday banger.
Nicole, do you like it? This is a great
birthday banger. He's a great birthday banger.
Yeah. Okay, wait there, we'll do
one more for Stanley. Kia ora, Stanley.
How's it going?
Good, man. How are you going? Not too bad,

find out your birthday banger. When's your birthday?
26 of March 1996.
Okay, Stanley, you were 16 on the 26th of March 2012,
and this was the number one song.
Oh, I'm just looking for a good night
Oh, I'm not looking for the right time
Reese Mastey.
Very good.
Yeah.
It's always a good night with a Reece Masty.
I'm sorry.
Stanley, do you like this song?
X Factor star Reece Mastin?
It's pretty good.
It's good, eh?
I must admit, I'd forgotten all about the Masty.
Yeah.
He's still gigging.
I went to his Instagram last time he came up on Birthday Bang It. Yeah. He's still gigging. I went to his Instagram last time he came up on Birthday Banger.
Yeah.
He's still gigging
around Australia.
Nice.
Yeah.
He's got a band
and he fronts it
with a guitar now.
And he finishes?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Stanley, wait there.
We need a vote on this.
Usher,
Day Harmo,
you've got me all flustered now,
or Rhys Mastin,
good night.
All good.
Yes. I'm going... I already know what I'm voting for so I just want to hear yours. Well, I Mastin. Good night. All good. Yes.
I'm going...
I already know what I'm voting for,
so I just want to hear yours.
Well, I feel like I think I know what you're voting for.
I'm going Deja Monk.
Are you?
Yeah, we're going right.
It's my backup option.
But my first option is Usher,
so we need to go to a split vote,
and we need to send it to producer Anastasia,
who looks like she's about to choose Rhys Mastin,
but I don't want to... Don't do it, Anastasia. Rhys like she's about to choose Reece Mastin, but I don't want to...
Don't do it, Anastasia.
Reece Mastin for the win.
No!
Really?
It's a tune.
Against Day Harmo and Usher.
Guys, it's a Friday night.
What do we want to do?
Have a good night.
Have a Reece.
Hey, Stanley, congrats.

Brian Clint with
Matty ZM
Nothing is getting
Cheaper at the moment
No
Except for houses
Yeah actually
There's a bit of a dip
Right
Weirdly
Yeah
I mean they're not cheap
But studies
And some graphs
Are showing that
In Auckland especially,
house prices are going backwards a little bit.
So maybe it could be time for you to get a house.
I stumbled across this on Reddit today.
It's a clipping from a newspaper in Rotorua from 1993,
and it's the houses for sale.
Oh, God.
Am I going to hate myself?
Well, if you do, don't hate yourself too much.
You were five.
Yeah, right.
So I was not in the position to buy a house at that point.
Even if you were, the bank wouldn't give you the loan that you needed.
But man, the loan you would have needed would have been minuscule compared to what you needed.
And I grew up in Otorua.
That's where I'm from.
That's my home.
So I know the streets
That these houses are on
And even to me
These prices are mind blowing
Okay
So it's out of
I assume from the Daily Post
In Rotorua
Or maybe the Weekender back there
For all my Rotorua listeners out there
Kia ora
Local reference
Kia ora
Kia manakitanga
I'm from there
What I'm going to give you
Is the cheapest house
Yep
And the most expensive house
Sure
That you could buy in Rotorua in 1993.
So this is 540 Tenai Road.
The description says, just right for those investment dollars, a cosy two-bedroom cottage with a sunny study area or third bedroom and a good-sized garage or workshop attached.
Very tidy.
Come and see.
The princely sum that you'll pay for that house in Rotorua was $69,500.
Oh, that hurt.
Less than probably a deposit on a house now.
Oh, that hurt.
Yeah.
And interestingly, every single one of these houses has a price on them too.
Right.
So there's no auctions.
It's all, they tell you how much they want.
You go there, you say, I've got that much money.
I'll buy the house.
And you pay for it.
It seems much simpler.
It seems better.
Totally.
Right?
It's like retail.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How is it the only thing where you go to it now and you go, how much do you want for this?
And they're like, I don't know.
You tell us unless you're in like unless you're in like i don't know fiji or something and you're bartering
in those markets yeah yeah yeah you go imagine going into a shop you go into like um helenstein's
and you go how much for this um shirt and he goes i don't know how much you're willing to pay yeah
and you're like um i don't know what's it worth and they go it's worth what someone's willing to pay yeah you could tell me how much it's worth what the market rates is set at the
moment we're gonna have an auction for it later on today and all the like 19 year old guys just
form a circle i'll pay 20 some of them are crying I've been trying to get a shirt for three years. Okay, I'm going to give you the most expensive house for sale in Rotorua in 1993.
It's on Park Cliff.
It's in Park Cliff area.
Okay.
I don't actually know that.
Oh, State Highway 33, Park Cliff area.
It must have some land.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Superb views plus home and income.
Oh, yeah.
Rambling three to four bedroom home with a massive lake.
Oh.
It's got a massive lake and country views.
Right.
Excuse me.
Still beautiful.
You can see the lake.
Yeah.
Out of all windows.
Heaps of terracing and garaging plus lovely two bedroom flat.
Wow.
So it's got a flat attached.
Yeah.
So you can make some money on the side as well.
Owner would consider trade or, oh yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Come and see the house.
Okay, so this is the most expensive house for sale in Rotorua in 1993.
To buy that house plus a two-bedroom flat, $238,000.
Which makes you go, mum and dad, why didn't you guys buy us a house
when we were kids?
Why didn't you buy 20 houses?
Have we found the most unlikely television show
that you should be watching this year?
My partner Lucy and I like to share TV shows
like most partners do, I think.
Totally.
It's much easier to enjoy a show
if you're both into it.
Yeah, Ryan and I maybe have one show on the go
that is our show
in case the other one's
not home or,
you know.
I think that's really good
to have too.
I've got Peaky Blinders.
Yeah.
And up until now,
I've had this other show
as just my show.
And then last night,
my wife Lucy said to me,
I think I want to watch
the Formula One
television show
Drive to Survive.
And I said, what?
If you don't know about it, here's a little bit of audio from it.
This is a season like no other.
Unbelievable start from Hamilton.
He's just insane.
Oh, they've touched.
Stafford is into the lead.
Come on.
Which on the face of it is a motor racing documentary series, right?
Yeah.
But when you dig a little bit deeper, there's something going on
because she wants to watch it.
You enjoy Drive to Survive, but you're not a big Formula One fan, are you?
Here's what I know about cars.
Four wheels.
Yes.
Steering wheel.
Yes.
There's an engine.
That's it. That's about it it that's my knowledge yeah and yet have i watched every single episode of all four seasons of this formula one driving show
you'd bet your ass i have see this is what i'm talking about there is something about this tv
show that i am starting to think transcends motorsport.
Totally.
And I think what it is, here's my take on it, right?
What started off as very much a let's look at the drivers and the cars and the racing.
And the politics.
And the politics.
Very quickly realised actually all people want to see is the drama of the whole thing
exactly right so that's what they've narrowed in on i think now looking at it from an outsider's
perspective because at first i was like taking a very narrow view of it i was like i'm a bloke
i love cars of course i like drive to survive but i didn't drill into why i like it but i think
you're right i think it's the drama and i'm starting to view
this television show drive to survive which is on netflix by the way anybody can watch this
um i think it might be the desperate housewives i think it might be male desperate housewives
you are sorry sorry male real housewives yeah so right it is it's a reality tv show. Yeah. So it's got bitchiness, backstabbing, drama, espionage.
It's got everything.
It's got people talking behind other people's backs.
It's got comments that are made on hot mics that weren't meant to be heard about other drivers.
It is crazy.
And you know what I realised last night that it's got that I never realised?
It's got a Spice Girl in it.
It's got a bloody Jerry Halliwell.
Jerry Halliwell come Jerry...
What's her name now?
Jerry Horner is married to one of the Formula One team bosses.
Yeah.
He's incredibly rich and he talks to her about strategy.
So he leads the Red Bull team.
Christian Horner.
Yes. strategy so he leads the red bull team christian horner yes uh and yeah and i think what the um
evolution of the show is tracked i think by how much you see of jerry as the seasons go on totally
so season four which has just started on netflix she's in the first episode and then some and on
horseback you see her so many times and so so I think Drive to Survive have gone,
oh, you know who our audience is?
Like women who grew up in the 90s.
That's it.
That's it.
It's the most unlikely hit television show for couples, I think.
It's not the show that Lucy and I would...
We watch Married at First Sight together.
Yeah.
Those are the shows that we enjoy.
We like selling Sunset as a show together.
But for some reason reason she's into it
and our new favourite show is Drive to Survive.
It's because Drive to Survive is the married at first sight
of the car racing.
Of car racing.
Sporting world.
There you go.
There's a suggestion for you this weekend.
If you and your partner are looking for something new to watch,
maybe you should check out Drive to Survive on Netflix.
You will not regret it.
