Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network G'day everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast with Matty. What are you laughing at? Can I get Ben and Anastasia to just pay attention for a second? We always pay attention. Something funny happened at work today. I was talking to someone who I hadn't seen for a while. There's people in and out of the building at TVNZ now. And someone said to me, how have you been? And I said, yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Pretty busy. I'm doing, obviously, breakfast in the morning and then coming in and filling on ZM in the afternoons. Yeah. And they said, oh, is that with Clint? And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, Clint. He and I go way back. And the guy said to me, he's Christian, eh?
Starting point is 00:00:48 And I was like, no, I don't know he's not i said what why and he goes oh he just looks like a youth pastor yeah okay yeah we're talking easter camp we're talking friday night youth group He's playing guitar at Parachute. Oh, definitely. What about me looks like a youth pastor? It's just the vibe. You're approachable. My overly friendly vibe. Radio nice guy Clint Roberts. Are you sure that he wasn't confusing me with the other Radio Clint?
Starting point is 00:01:17 No, he was. Who is Christian? Christian, yeah. No, no, he knew exactly who you were. You sure? I'm positive. Ozzy, I give off Crizzo vibes. I mean, no offence to the Christians out there.
Starting point is 00:01:26 I just ain't one. I'm a bad boy. Remember we said this. I'm a bad boy. You are not a bad boy. I'm a bad boy and I know what I want. Hey guys,
Starting point is 00:01:33 can I just have a moment to tell you about a good friend of mine? His name's Jesus. Jesus Christ. Oh. Anyway, here's Wonderwall. A-ring-a-chick,
Starting point is 00:01:42 a-ring-a-chick. I can play three chords on the guitar. Can you? Yeah, it's very campfire, my strum as well. It's actually my genuine New Year's resolution this year is to learn the guitar. Sure, we talked about that five weeks ago. I know.
Starting point is 00:01:55 How's it going? Still in the case. It's okay, babes. Do you have a song in mind? Unlike you, your guitar hasn't come out yet. Nice one, Clint. Got him. See, would a youth pastor make such a risque gay joke, bro?
Starting point is 00:02:13 Woody? Actually, to be fair, youth pastors are traditionally quite homophobic, so maybe they would. They definitely would. Oh, my God, maybe I am. Maybe I is. Just quickly, would you like a bit of resolution on the great dolphin outro? Yes, do we have it?
Starting point is 00:02:30 Obviously, we can't decide on this together. This is a Bree and Clint decision, so we can't do anything until Bree gets back. But before she gets back, I want to gather the evidence of why do we do the dolphin? Yeah, because I asked that question the other day. Yeah, why is that the way we go out? I just assumed there was a story behind it. And I believe everything should be up for review, I think. Keep the classics.
Starting point is 00:02:53 But if something doesn't feel right, don't keep doing it for the sake of it, you know? So we asked you, do you know why we started doing the dolphin? And Damien Daly has replied. And he knows? He said, hey team, in answer to the question yesterday the first case of the dolphin in the podcast intro was the 18th of january 2021 damien knows his stuff there was a beach and dolphin chat in the intro and it was the first podcast of 2021 and 2021 2021 yeah so the beginning of last year well it's only 12 13 months ago yeah but uh he said there was also quite a lot of chat about
Starting point is 00:03:35 bleaching buttholes oh no not one of those so you used it once and then obviously you decided that was going to be your thing i thought it was was because we always made fun of you, Clint, for being awkward at the end of the podcast. That's what I said, yeah. Bill Krujak, or Kru-Kru-Yuck. Sorry, I can't pronounce your last name, man. It's jazzy. Bill said the dolphin was to replace the awkward outros.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Because at the end, traditionally, Clint would be talking and everything and obviously would reach that point of the conversation where it's time to play the podcast. And Clint would be like, awesome, all right, guys, here's the podcast. Before I became a super smooth TV host. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:22 But they're probably both right. So Damien is probably right in that that was the first instance of you using the sound host. Yeah. But they're probably both right. So Damien is probably right in that that was the first instance of you using the sound effect. Yes. And then the sound effect was obviously there, ready to go.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And so you just decided to use it to fill the awkward silences. I think you've connected up the dots, Maddie. Thank you. So Brie, if you're listening, and this is the decision that she'll need to make with us on Monday, would you prefer the dolphin to stay
Starting point is 00:04:47 or would you prefer a return to awkward outros? Oh, is that the... So you're not replacing it with another sound effect? We do have another alternative, but I don't know if you guys remember the news outro sting we used to do. Oh, yeah. Do you remember that? I loved the news outro. I liked it too. Oh, yeah. Do you remember that?
Starting point is 00:05:05 I loved the news outro. I liked it too. But we've lost our news sting. No, I got it. Did you get it back? I'll find it. The right one? Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Listen to him. He's so triggered. I thought that was good. I liked that. So did I. So what was the news sting? So we go around the room and we do a news sign-off? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Right. Well, we do have someone from the news. We could give it a go. We could try one of those today. You guys buffer while I find. So it goes, it goes, you've been listening to the Brian Clint podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I'm Clint Roberts. And we go around the room. And then the last person has to say their name as the sign-off. Yeah. But they need to say it with the right inflection. And you, oh, you'd have to. Yeah, he would.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Should we go to him last? Should we go to him first and last? Double down. Just last? Anastasia, you do it first then. You've been listening to the Brian Clint Podcast. I'm producer Anastasia. I'm Ben McDowell. I'm Clint Roberts.
Starting point is 00:06:01 And I'm Madty McLean. Fuck these guys. ZM's Bree and Clint with Matty McLean. Hello, everybody. It's Matty's second to last day on the show. So bring in the stripper. Bring in the stripper. Where is it?

Starting point is 00:06:38 He hasn't showered, so there's a bit of road dirt on him. It's all part of the illusion, right? It's all part of the charm. Yeah, I wouldn't mind that. That's your fantasy, eh? A little bit of rough and ready. Highwayman? Yeah, exactly. That's all part of the illusion, right? It's all part of the charm. Yeah, I wouldn't mind that.

Starting point is 00:07:07 What is the secret sound? You've never given away a secret sound before, have you? I haven't. God, wouldn't that be good? Wouldn't it be fun to do it before you leave?

Starting point is 00:18:12 Bree and Clint Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Prime Minister Excuse me To you, yes Did one of her trademark Facebook lives yesterday To explain where the bloody hell Clark Gatlin has been. I can't believe we still haven't found him. We put the call out
Starting point is 00:18:27 weeks ago. We haven't found him. We haven't found him. The listeners have certainly not found him. I think that's what the Facebook Live was for. I didn't actually watch it. It might have been for the changes in the traffic light system. She might have answered a couple of questions on that. You know how she does this though? I think it's very good. It's a very modern
Starting point is 00:18:44 way of governing. But it's also a bloody minefield. You open yourself up to all kinds of stuff when you just have the comments turned on. Yeah. Because what she does, she goes on Facebook Live, she explains, she goes, this is what we've done, this is what it means, this is what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I'll take questions now. And Tova O'Brien's not there, so she can't ask any questions. And you, Davey McHugh, or whoever you are, can ask whatever you want. Exactly. So it's not Tova, then Jessica. It's Davey, then Lisa. Then Lisa, absolutely. She faced an interesting question yesterday on her Facebook Live.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I'm just going to play it for you. It was this. Someone has asked me to twerk. Excuse me? Sorry, what? Can we just hear that again? One more time. Someone has asked me to twerk.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Okay. Now, this is the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Yeah. So this is going on the record. Just one more time. Someone has asked me to twerk. I mean, she's young. She's hip.
Starting point is 00:19:43 If any Prime Minister in the world was going to twerk Surely it would be us Do you think she's the most likely? Imagine that she gets up from the live stream And just does a little twerk on camera Who's the Canadian guy? Justin Trudeau He'd be a good twerker as well
Starting point is 00:19:57 Angela Merkel Angela Merkel could get up there and drop a drop at low I wanted to ask And you're in the news and current affairs business, is that a reasonable request of a head of state? She does work for us, but is that a reasonable request to make of the head of state? Very. It is.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Absolutely. Right. Look, she's elected by us, the people. Yeah. So therefore, it's only fair and reasonable that she answers the questions that we have for her. Right. So you're saying she doesn't necessarily have to twerk. She has to answer whether she will or won't twerk.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Is that what you're saying? Yeah. I guess so. But I would expect that as someone who's desperate, you know, there's an election next year. So if someone wants her to twerk, that's a vote. Right. Winston Peters would twerk. He absolutely would.
Starting point is 00:20:44 David Seymour would dare. We've seen David Seymour twerk. Judith Collins would have twerked That's a vote. Right. Winston Peters would twerk. He absolutely would. David Seymour would dare. We've seen David Seymour twerk. Judith Collins would have twerked towards the end there. Totally. She was desperate to hang on. Well, here was the Prime Minister's response. That's a hard no. Unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:20:57 But I thought we could go back through past Prime Ministers and decide who would be most likely to twerk on a live stream. So first one, Helen Clark. I'm going to say no. No, she's old school. Yeah, no. John Key, a.k.a. Don Key, a.k.a. Da Ass. John Da Ass Key.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I reckon he would. Remember that catwalk he did at the Rugby World Cup? He minced down that catwalk. He would definitely drop it low. He's a twerker. What is it? What's that song? Booted like a pillow.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Big soul bag, you can use it as a pillow. What about Jim Bolge? Easy on Stallion. Jim Bolge. I'm going to say yes. Yeah, he'd twerk. He'd twerk. What about Bill Ingl...
Starting point is 00:21:46 Sorry, I'll stop the feature there, that's plenty What we have found is it's only national MPs willing to twerk So a lot of pressure on Chris Luxon coming up A man in the know in Los Angeles is Dean McCarthy. And Dean, this is not a good story. Miley Cyrus has been involved in a serious plane incident. Yeah, very serious actually. Her private jet, as they were flying over Paraguay,
Starting point is 00:22:17 I think you'd call it, was struck by lightning. Oh, wow. It was struck by lightning. Now, there's a video on her Instagram when the actual strike happens and she's a video on her Instagram when the actual strike happens and she's kind of like filming outside because the pilot would have said, we're going through some really, really bad weather.
Starting point is 00:22:32 And then, bang, you see the lighting strike. They have to make an emergency landing. The seat, she has what's called a G450. So we talked about Kim Kardashian's new plane. It's a G650. This is a 450, a bit smaller than Kim's. So there's about 14 people in the back. But when you're on a really small plane like that,
Starting point is 00:22:47 you feel everything. It's kind of like being in a tiny boat out in the ocean. That's how you would describe when you're in a small plane like that. They would have absolutely checked their pants. That would have been the most terrifying experience. They had to make an emergency landing 200 miles from where she was due to perform. And she's going to be really shaken by that. Really, really shaken by that.
Starting point is 00:23:08 So sending her some good vibes. They're fine. Everyone's fine. A lot of planes actually get struck by lightning quite often. Usually the big commercial ones, you know, doesn't really, you know, barely touch the side. But when a small plane like that gets struck, it really is terrifying, I can imagine. Dean knows a lot about private planes. I was going to say. He's been on a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:23:26 The grinder swindler has grinded his way onto so many private jets. Just look at his Instagram story. He's on a couple a week. You drop that so casually, Dean. We'll take a discerning listener to realise what you were saying. But you're basically saying I take them all the time.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Well, one of my best friends has a couple of them. Okay, okay. Wrap them up. Nice to talk to you. Thank you so much. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles. Or is he calling from the sky on the G650?
Starting point is 00:23:55 We don't know. It's Dean McCarthy. Free in Clint. If you think your car has done a lot of Ks, you have not heard what I'm about to tell you. Nailed it. You nailed it. It's 15 years of broadcasting right there.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Graham Hebley has a 1993 Toyota Corolla. Wow, so that's definitely done some years. Yeah, 1993. It's a station wagon model Corolla, and it's just surpassed a very significant milestone. He lives in the Upper Hutt, and his Corolla has just gone past 2 million kilometres. 2 million kilometres.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Come on. To give you some context on what 2 million kilometres is That's the equivalent of Graham driving his Corolla to the moon And back Twice And then driving to the moon again Wow 2 million kilometres
Starting point is 00:25:00 That is insane Where's he been driving? So let me give you some goss on this. Graham got his Corolla in the year 2000, so it was already seven years old, and at that stage it had only done 80,000 k's. Wow. And in Corolla terms, that's like a brand new car.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Totally. You know? So how did he get to two million? That's a feat. He drives from Wellington to New Plymouth and back six days a week for his job. He commutes six days a week all the way to New Plymouth and back six days a week for his job. He commutes six days a week all the way to New Plymouth. So he racks up 5,000 kilometres a week.
Starting point is 00:25:35 What? Crazy, eh? What? That's a big drive. It's a huge drive. It's so much time to spend in the car. Like, I hope he's got A band expander in there So he gets to listen
Starting point is 00:25:47 To some radio or something While he's driving Why don't you just live In New Plymouth Save yourself some caves I thought the same thing Maybe he just loves The feeling of the wind
Starting point is 00:25:55 In his Corolla I don't know So how do you keep a car Even if it is a Toyota Corolla And the joke is that These cars are bulletproof Yeah They'll never die
Starting point is 00:26:04 They'll never die Well this one hasn't But how do you keep it going For two million caves Yeah Like that's insane Yeah Even if it is a Toyota Corolla, and the joke is that these cars are bulletproof. Yeah, they'll never die. They'll never die. Well, this one hasn't. But how do you keep it going for 2 million Ks? Yeah. Like, that's insane. Cars' usable lifespan, realistically, is like 200,000 Ks. He's got 2 million.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Well, you're meant to service your car every 10,000 Ks. No matter what your car is, it's meant to get a service every 10,000 Ks. He does 5,000 Ks a week, so he gets his car serviced every two weeks. No! Yeah. Crazy, eh? Wow!
Starting point is 00:26:30 He puts it in for a full service every two weeks. And so they do the whole shebang. Change the oil. Yeah. Check all the bits. Make sure everything's going. Because if you're doing that much time on the road, you want to make sure your car's safe too, right?
Starting point is 00:26:41 Totally. You want to make sure it's under control. He has had the cam belt replaced 20 times. Oh my God. He's had the wheel bearings changed. But apart from that, his Toyota Corolla, his 1993 Toyota Corolla is basically
Starting point is 00:26:55 original. Fine. The rest of the parts are as they came from the factory. There's nothing wrong with it. 30 years and 2 million kilometres ago. Look at him. what a bloody kiwi legend hey he's everyone's granddad as well i've got a there's a photo of him up here imagine what your granddad would wear we're talking like a flannel shirt tucked into some shorts with long socks pulled up to his ankles yeah almost to his knees and a silver watch yeah he yeah he like on
Starting point is 00:27:24 one hand I go, man, he saved so much money by keeping that car going. And on the other hand, I'm like, he's spent so much money driving to New Plymouth and back every day for the last 15, 20 years. God, you'd want a good playlist. You'd want a comfy seat. I hope he's got a little cushion to sit on.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Look, I love hearing about these unkillable cars and people whose cars have done a stupid amount of Ks. I've never heard of a story like that. But do you have a car that you think has done a lot of Ks on it? I don't know that we'll ever get someone who's done 2 million. I don't think there is someone in the world other than Graham who's done 2 million Ks. So that's okay.
Starting point is 00:28:00 That's not what we're looking for. If you can beat 2 million, absolutely call us. We'll give you a prize. No, we won't because then you'll just lie. Just call us what we're looking for. If you can beat 2 million, absolutely call us. We'll give you a prize. No, we won't, because then you'll just lie. Just call us, because we'd like to talk to you. But have you done heaps? Have you done like 400,000, 500,000, 600,000 Ks in your car? And what is it?
Starting point is 00:28:15 And what's the secret to keeping it going? And maybe you're in the car right now. Give us a call. 0800 dial ZM, or you can text us on 9696. If your car has done heaps of Ks. We just shared the story of Graham from Upper Hutt, whose 1993 Toyota Corolla station wagon has just done 2 million kilometres. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:41 It's got to be some kind of record. I reckon. I just can't imagine anyone else doing those kinds of Ks. He drives from the hut to New Plymouth and back six times a week, 5,000 Ks a week. You said he gets his car serviced every two weeks. Every two weeks at the exact same mechanic for the last 22 years. Far out.
Starting point is 00:28:59 He's a VIP client. I hope he's got like a concession card where every tenth service is free or something like that. Yeah, at'd at least give him a coffee when he walks in the door. We want to talk about unkillable cars though. And are they all Toyotas? Because it's a Toyota Corolla. Not all. Really? Someone's
Starting point is 00:29:13 messaged in, I used to drive a VW Golf when I nannied in France. It was a bloody tank. It had done 200km and then when I visited 10 years later they told me they'd given it to the gardener and it was now up to 400km. On a European car? The only issue is it costs four grand to service twice a year. And when you need to replace an indicator bulb,
Starting point is 00:29:32 you have to remortgage your house. Yeah, but if you're someone that lives in France with a nanny and a gardener, you're okay. Why aren't you getting a new Golf if that's your situation? Let's talk to some people with unkillable cars. We'll go first to Shah. Kia ora, Shah. Hi.
Starting point is 00:29:48 What is the car? What sort of car have you got? I've got a 1999 Toyota Altezza. Oh. Those are the boy racer ones. They do skids. Yeah. Good skids do.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah. Tracking control as well. Yeah, yeah. I know the one. You can get the ass sideways in an Altezza, can't you? Yeah, push the little button and she's sweet. Okay, so how many kilometres worth of skids have you done in your 99 Toyota Altezza? So far it's done 339,212km.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Wow. Do you know that number because you're sitting in it right now? Yeah, that's correct. And it goes fine? Oh, perfect. Like a breeze. And how are the skids, Char? Oh, that's correct. And it goes fine? Oh, perfect. And how the skids, Char? Oh, they're really good. Can you give us a little
Starting point is 00:30:30 two to the horn? Go on. The horn doesn't go. I used to be the horn. I thought you told us the car was sweet as, Char. Oh, apart from the horn. Apart from the horn. And the window wipers. She's a teaser. And I car was sweet as Char. Oh, apart from the horn. Apart from the horn.
Starting point is 00:30:45 And you know the window wipers. She's a teaser. And I hear your voice, Char. You don't need a horn. No. Char's never needed a horn in her life. Okay, thank you. Very good.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Let's go to Stella. Kia ora, Stella. Kia ora. How are you? Good. You're in your car now as well, right? I am, yes. What is it?
Starting point is 00:31:03 It's a 2003 Toyota Corolla. Of course it is. Okay, Toyota Corolla. How many Ks you got on that bad boy? Just over 400,000. Whoa. How long have you had it? It's 2003.
Starting point is 00:31:14 How long have you owned it? I've owned it just over five years. Oh, yeah. And what do you got to do to keep a 400,000 K car going? Do you service it twice a week like Graham does? Yeah, you have a partner that's really into cars. Oh, I see. Okay, so he looks after it for you.
Starting point is 00:31:30 You've got a car nurse living in your house. Yeah, yeah. Well, Shah couldn't. Can you give us a toot on the horn? Yep. Yes. There she is. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Thanks, Stella. Good work. 400 Ks. That's our record so far. Jack's here. G'day, Jack. Hey, Jan. Good. How are you?. Jack's here. G'day, Jack. How you going? Good.
Starting point is 00:31:46 How are you? Yeah, pretty good. Where are you, Jack? I'm driving a tractor at the moment. Oh, right. Do tractors have horns? This one doesn't work, but normally they do. Are you calling about the Ks on the tractor or the Ks on your car?
Starting point is 00:32:02 The Ks on my ute and one of my mate's ute. Okay. So it's all been Toyotas so far. Are you calling about a Toyota? Yes, they're both Toyota Hiluxes. Okay, and how many Ks are we talking? Mine's got 500,000 and my mate's has just over a million. Whoa. A million Ks.
Starting point is 00:32:21 A million. Yeah. Does it go all right? Have you driven it? Does it still go okay? Yeah, it goes real good. It's 2. Does it go all right? Have you driven it? Does it still go okay? Yeah, it goes real good. It's 2.8, and it just keeps going. You're not tempted to go and trade it in on a Ford Ranger or something like that?
Starting point is 00:32:35 Oh, no, I don't think it would be. Nah, very Toyota fan. You don't want to get a nice Suzu D-Max? Nah, nah, definitely not one of those. You don't want to get one of those D-Max? Nah, nah, definitely not one of those. You don't want to get one of those great wall utes? No, no. You don't want to get a Kabuto or something? You're going to upgrade to an EV soon, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:32:53 Oh, nah. Are you looking to get the government's clean car rebate, Jack? Nah, I'm going to try to keep the luxury as long as possible. Yeah, right. Okay, well, good on you. Half a million. We'll take that one. One final one. Roy's here. G'day, Roy. G. Half a million. We'll take that one. One final one.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Roy's here. G'day, Roy. G'day, guys. How are you? Good. What are you driving? It's a 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser. And how many Ks you got on that?
Starting point is 00:33:15 $749,000. Whoa! Three quarters of a million. Every single car we've been dealing with this afternoon has been a Toyota. Yeah, it has. Which is insane, isn't it? They're bloody awesome. I don't understand
Starting point is 00:33:26 how they sell any new cars. Because all the old ones, all the ones they sold are still out there on the road, still going round and around and around. Far out. Alright, Toyota till you die, Roy?
Starting point is 00:33:38 Absolutely. Who's going to die first, you or the car? I was going to say, the Toyota's going to outlive you. I'd say so. It's only three years older than me at the moment. There you go.

Starting point is 00:35:01 what the hell is going on on that show at the moment. If you're not, I can sum it up very easily for you. Please. Okay, so some really crazy people decided to go on a TV show and marry a stranger. And the people who make the TV show intentionally paired them with someone that they'll hate. And it's not going well. What?
Starting point is 00:35:18 What? That's the basics. You mean the producers were doing things for drama, not for love? Believe it or not, that's exactly what it was. Wow. Who would have thought that? Who would have thought? And who would have thought that'd be a successful format?
Starting point is 00:35:32 What's really making headlines across in Australia and here in New Zealand at the moment is what has gone down on TV here last night. It happened in Australia last week, here last night. One of the contestants, Olivia, has shared a nude picture of one of the other contestants, Dominica, who unbeknownst to the group actually has an OnlyFans account. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:58 So she does OnlyFans and Olivia decided that that was everybody else's business and Googled her, screenshotted her nudes and showed it to the whole group. Wow. It has made for the most dramatic, over-the-top, surreal television you've ever seen. Have a listen to this trailer.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Does Jack know that you had an OnlyFans account? Oh my God. Everyone has seen a photo of you naked. I'm sorry, but you put it out there. People are going to talk about it. So everyone here has seen the photo. You have never seen it. Olivia says it wasn't delicious.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I'm short for it. A scandal. I will literally get naked so you cannot film me. Like this. Mm-hmm. I think the kitchen's too hot for Dom. It's mental. I will say this.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Australian TV knew how to do A bloody good trailer Oh my god Don't they what And they know how to Do good reality TV Yeah that too But they can't do A New Zealand maths
Starting point is 00:36:50 After this Because it just It just doesn't stack up It would pale in comparison The themes that it's Bringing up are really serious They're talking about Revenge porn
Starting point is 00:36:59 They're talking about Like exposing somebody Totally And just deciding That because It's slut shaming It's all of that stuff It's pretty serious Yeah they're talking about like exposing somebody totally and just deciding that because it's slut shaming it's all of that stuff it's pretty serious
Starting point is 00:37:08 yeah so what's been the reaction from the cast members that has been really interesting yeah because obviously
Starting point is 00:37:15 she's got a she's got a husband she's married someone she's married at first sight and he has stood up for her the whole time wow he has said
Starting point is 00:37:21 because they showed everybody under the guise of going well you need to know who you're married to. And he goes, well actually I did already know that and I don't care. We dealt with it in the first week of our relationship. And then they've all
Starting point is 00:37:33 looked at the picture. It's gossip, right? If someone brings a picture like that in, it's gossip. It's gossip, but there's gossip about it and saying Olivia has an only or Dominica has an onlyFans account, there's another thing entirely to say it and then show the photos of her. Totally.
Starting point is 00:37:50 And no one came to her and said hey, there's a picture of you going around there or just talked about it. It's honestly, the bit that I can't believe whenever these shows come out is why would you do that on TV? Totally. Like why would you do that on TV? Totally.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Unless this is just truly who you are, like Olivia is not coming off well. No! And she's training to be a school teacher. Yeah, this is not good. She looks like a bad person. Abbey Chatfield is quite big in Australian media. She
Starting point is 00:38:21 has a podcast and a radio show. She was a contestant on the Australian Bachelor. Yes. And she's spoken really strongly about it. She said, there's nothing wrong with taking nudes for free. There's nothing wrong with being sexual in any way you want to be sexual, whether it's as an occupation
Starting point is 00:38:39 or whether it is just to send a nude around like I do all the time. So she said, I do it. Other people do it. We send nudes to our partners or our lovers or whoever we're having a hookup with. It's totally fine. We're allowed to do that.
Starting point is 00:38:53 So there's nothing wrong with Dominica doing this whatsoever. And just because you get your hands on someone else's nude doesn't mean that it's your property to share. Totally. That's what's really weird about it. And not enough people have stood up for her on this show. It's been really quite awful to share. Totally. That's what's really weird about it. And not enough people have stood up for her on this show. Right. It's been really quite awful to watch. So the other cast members are kind of on Olivia's
Starting point is 00:39:10 side. Well they're covering their own ass because they're going, we're not bad people because we looked at it. She's going, no but can you just acknowledge the fact that this makes me really uncomfortable and that that's my body and that you've taken it out of my hands. Totally. And they just go, well you put it on OnlyFans so you deserve this. Yeah but there's one thing to stumble upon it out of my hands. Totally. And they just go, well, you put it on OnlyFans, so you deserve this. Yeah, but there's one thing
Starting point is 00:39:26 to stumble upon it and look at it. It's another thing to share it around a group and gossip about it. Yeah. To someone that they're hanging out with and they're friends with. You're meant to be supporting each other on the show. And the thing that annoys me the most
Starting point is 00:39:37 is that this bloody show has got me again. And someone said, I'm currently watching, I'm up to date with Australia. All I can say is, just wait. Oh, there's more to date with Australia. All I can say is just wait. Oh, there's more to come? There's more to come. God damn it.

Starting point is 00:44:19 Yeah. Is it? Absolutely. Oh, I'm screwed. Lucky I've already got a partner. This has been highlighted especially because of Zendaya and Tom Holland. Of course. It always takes a celebrity example for it to break through to the mainstream. Zendaya is 179 centimetres.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yeah. And our short king, Tom Holland, is six centimetres shorter than her. Six centimetres. Six. Might not sound like a Holland, is six centimetres shorter than her. Six centimetres. Might not sound like a lot, but six centimetres. And a lot of men out there right now will be so pleased to hear this. Totally. Because it's their time to shine.

Starting point is 00:45:42 Really? Maybe this lady is right. Maybe it's breaking through. Because we talked yesterday about societal norms, right? With the age gap. The height gap is a whole societal thing that exists as well. Did you bend down and give him a little kiss on the forehead? Matty!
Starting point is 00:46:03 Matty, that is heightightest What you just said Nah He's only like a foot Like what A foot Wait no A foot shorter than you No wait wait wait

Starting point is 00:46:32 Hey, look, let's get on board. Let's celebrate Short King Spring, Short King Season, by breaking those societal norms again. We did it yesterday with the age gap. Let's do it with the height gap. So are you a woman who's dating a man that's shorter than you
Starting point is 00:46:47 or are you a man dating a woman taller than you? Yeah. Is there a big height difference in your relationship? Yeah. What is the gap? Who's taller?

Starting point is 00:47:23 Gone are the days where you need a guy to be over six foot. That's so old school. Totally. Someone in the Northern Hemisphere has been calling it Short King Spring. This is brilliant. Someone's texted and said, surely in New Zealand we call it short-em. Oh my God, short-em. How did that...
Starting point is 00:47:52 It's our job to come up with puns like that. How did we not... That passed us by. Short-em. So we want to know, for too long, this has been hiding in the shadow society. It said, mm-mm-mm, your boyfriend must be taller than you.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Totally. You've said, nah, I love a shorter man. Yeah, exactly. Well, and Zendaya and Tom Holland have made it popular. Yeah, so are you doing it too? Is it something that everybody should be doing? Totally. Is it a secret you want to share with the world?
Starting point is 00:48:22 Brooke's here to talk about it. Hi, Brooke. Hi, Brooke. Hi. Is it short-em for you? Is it short secret you want to share with the world? Brooke's here to talk about it. Hi, Brooke. Hi, Brooke. Hi. Is it short him for you? Is it short king season? I'd say short king. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:48:32 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why not? To his face? Would you say short king to his face? Well, yeah, he calls me his tall queen. Yeah, okay. Okay. Run us through the height difference.
Starting point is 00:48:41 What height are you? So I don't have, like, exact. Like, I think ages ago, the last time I measured myself, I was sitting at around, like, 180-ish centimetres. Okay, okay. What's that, like, 5'9", 5'10-ish? Yeah, perfect. And what about him?
Starting point is 00:48:57 But my boyfriend, he's, like, a half head shorter than me, so around the nose area, although he has a man bun that sits high. It adds a little bit. Is that why he has the man bun? I mean, he rocks it out long too, so he's
Starting point is 00:49:16 not really fast. He's got the confidence for it, I think is what makes it. Has he got those big, thick RM Williams boot with the heel on them as well?

Now, the ickers are such a strange phenomenon. It's kind of new, right? Yeah. Well, they've finally got a word for it.
Starting point is 00:57:54 It's that feeling, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's that feeling you get where you just know that you cannot be attracted to someone again. Even if you were attracted to them, you can get the ick. And often it is that. Often it's, I was attracted to you, and then I saw you do something, or there was a behavior I witnessed, and now I'm going, ugh.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Luckily, we have a single woman in our midst, producer Anastasia. Are you happy to be our ick-o-meter this afternoon? Yep, I can do that. Maddie will give you these. You tell us if they give you the ick. These have all been cultivated by someone called Winnie Blues on Instagram. She asked her followers what the oddly specific ick was.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Winnie Blues. A very legitimate sounding source there, Maddy. I like that. But they're good icks. So I'm going to run them past you, all right? Yeah. Okay, the first one is, I cannot look at a guy when he's showering.
