Speaker 5 (05:38):
CDMs Brie and Clint.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Podcast Absolute shamozzle for me yesterday, Absolute zzle.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then you brought me into it, Hew, Oh you
were using my phone. You were doing bits and bobs
in here. I was supporting you, lean on my friend
for support of my there did I support you?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah? Are you making me feel bad about it now?

Speaker 4 (06:00):
But we're just having a bit of band for the radio.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yesterday I going to call for my wife who had
a puncture. The rear tire on our family car had blown.
She got off the motorway she was parked up. The
type of car that was very boring. But the type
of car we have doesn't have a spear tire.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
What type of car is it?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
It's a family wagon. Just for so we.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Can visualized family wagon.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Large family wagon.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's a large BMW X five that the whole family
and dog can fit them. And on these cars you're
meant to use you back off. Okay, you're meant to
use these things called run flat tires. But I cheaped
out and I didn't get the run flats, so she
couldn't drive the car. Long story short, I am the
only one who knows who our car is ensured with

(06:47):
and who our roadside assistance is with, So I, by
a proxy by distance, had to arrange the car.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
To be towed and then to get a new tie
for the car. Which how much was the new.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Time's not important. Anyway, you did all. I got it sorted.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
You did all of the back end work for the
back end of your.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Car, and I'm not complaining about that for two reasons. One,
I'm happy to do that job, and two my love
language is acts of service, so you know, happy to
be observed.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Normally, look, and I know what it is.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Normally your wife doesn't need you for anything, and there's
certain circumstances where your wife actually wants and needs you
in those circumstances, and you relish it be.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Honest, don't psychoanalyze me because I'm right too close to
the bone, and it's not a bad thing.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
That's a nice thing to want to be wanted.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
What's important here, Brie, is I looked like a hero
and everything is so.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
You were the hero.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
You didn't look like the hero you were. You saw
the problem and you fixed it.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
And I know it's just a flat tire, but you know,
I thought, at it, relish it, take care of.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
There's your moment. She might not need you again for
another eighteen months.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well, this is the thing. I got home last night
and she said, you know, that situation that happened today
made me realize that if you die, there are quite
a few things that I don't know about. And my
wife asked me if I could produce for her something
that she is calling a death document. She said, can

(08:24):
you both, can you put a Google document together and
give me access to it that has the information that
I need if you were to suddenly die.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
So grim but so adult, it was so adult.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
I asked her if she could send me a list
of the things because I'm considering doing it. I don't
want to give up all of my power, but I'm
considering doing it.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Be careful, Be careful because she might not need you
for anything if you doe.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I know, I know. So I said, what do you
what ideally do you want in this death document? Do
you want to hear the things? Yeah? So my wife said,
could I please make a list of my email passwords,
our bank Wait?

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Wait wait wait, because it's got a way wait wait
wait wait. She wants your email password.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Because it's got all the things in it. It's got
all the one Okay, I think these are her requests.
I don't have to give them money.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
I reckon for that one.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Ride it somewhere and hide it and if you were
to die, she would eventually find it, but not while you're.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Still got to do a Hillary Clinton style email purge. Right,
that's dangerous.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
You don't know what's in there.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Okay. She wants me email passwords. She wants our bank
account passwords. That's fair, which she should really have those?

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah, she probably should.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
She wants to know who our lawyer is, what electricity
company we're with, and what insurance companies were with. She
wants to know whose name our cars are under. She
wants to know where is our will. Do you have
a secret bank account and where do I find your
life insurance policy? I think my wife might be planning

(10:00):
my death.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
If you go missing in the next year, I'll tell
the cops where to look.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
Use this.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
I'll be like, I know who did it. I know
who did it.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Just to get the heat off of me, I'll point
them in Lucy's direction.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Anyway. She's right, those are all things that I have
taken care of. Yes, and it's information that I have.
And to my mind, you need a death document from her.
Oh yeah, what are you saying you don't you can
do everything she can do. No, I didn't say that all.
Can you stop putting words in my mouth?

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Okay? What was that reaction? Then?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
I just hadn't considered it. I was considering it for
the first time because I don't know, because I didn't
think about it. Shut up.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I should become a psychologist. My only client will be
Clint because I know.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Him, so I'm not paying.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Okay, it would be fun for me.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
I don't want to know. I want to know the
skill that you possess or the knowledge that you have
that you know makes you indispensable, irreplaceable in your relationship.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
You asked us to think about this before the show,
and I think I'm pretty replaceable.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
And this has been genuinely being.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
So on that what about your amateur psychology.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
That I think my partner is so much in our relationship.
She is an angel and so good at everything. I
think the one thing I can bring is that I
order the green bind to come town.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Once she figures out what data Greenburn goes. That's it
Dawn of one hundred dials at him or text to
nine sex, nine sex. We want to know what is
the thing you can do that you know keeps you in,
keeps you in that relationship, It makes you irreplaceable.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Nice, didn't make me feel good about myself.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Genuinely get them in.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
My wife has asked me for a death document, which
someone sticks in and said, that's a normal adult thing
to have, Clint, she wants a Google doc with all
of the passwords and bank account information and power company
and water company and phone company information and a.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Locked photo folder in your phone.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
You know what she didn't ask for. Oh, she's got
the pincode to my phone.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Have you are you just? Are you just clicking over now?
And she will be looking through your phone when you
pass away.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
There's nothing to say except a bunch of terrible selfies.
So it got me thinking, what's the skill or job
or thing that you have in your relationship which you
know gives you value, It makes you indispensable. It means
that they're going to keep you around because you can
do this thing or you know how to do this thing.

(12:54):
Brian and I both figured out that ours a lot
of it revolves around what day the green bin goes out.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
No, that's my only thing. You're trying to make me
feel good. That's the only thing I have. You do
all these other amazing things. And then I'm like, the
only thing that I'm bringing to this relationship is I
order the green bin.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Oh no, and you, oh, you get the free concert ticket.
That's true.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
From time to time I do bring that.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah. Yeah, she saves lives, you get free concert tickets.
It's a good trade. Yeah, yep, that's level. Someone said, guys,
anything to do with the car is my partner's job.
Other than that, I'm a strong independent woman unless it
involves emptying the bin.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Is she talking about.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Pulling the bin out of the inside bin? Because I
hate that job as well.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
It'll be that one the recycling bin. You guys don't
run a food scraps bin, do you? Yeah, you do.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
We don't in some of those because we got maggots
in our so we were like, let's not do it
in summer and we'll just do it in with.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
I know, my partner is not getting rid of me
because I'm the only one who knows how to sit
the oven after the power goes off.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
See, that is very valuable.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Again, like said, though, a skill that they could master,
they could, Yeah, but they haven't. Never replaced that oven. No,
never replaced a more simple oven.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Someone said, filling the cars up with fuel If I didn't.
If I didn't, my wife and I will be walking everywhere.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Okay, well that's that's good.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
The skill that I have as I look after the
kids twenty four to seven. Yeah, that's going to keep you.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
That is a big skill. What about this one?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
The skill I possess that's going to keep me around
because my partner doesn't have it, is.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
That I can breastfeed.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Oh wow, yeah, that's quite yes, yeah, yeah see that's.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
An unteachable skill. Yeah you know, like you can't you
have to be born with that one. Yeah, you know,
boys can do a lot of things, but not breastfeed.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I don't do that. Keep if that's your skill, though,
You've got to keep those kids. Breastfeed.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yes, it doesn't matter if they're seventeen, breastfeed them and
they're leaving school.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
You send them off with a nice spit of mamma's milk.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Guys, if I died, my partner would never it's too
far down that center. I was trying to move you on.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I pulled out the teeth too.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Oh. My partner would never be able to find anything
ever again. If I died those relationships, I feel like
a lot of relations in my other shoe.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I feel like that's every relationship, like back and forth.
Like you'll ask your partner, hey do you know where
I put this? And then they'll ask you, hey, have
you seen this?

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Like it's just pretty normal.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
My husband does everything bills, bank accounts, insurance, mortgage, rubbish bins.
But I cooked dinner, so my spot is safe. Hell,
yes it is, Hell, yes it is. The food is
so important. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Someone says, my value is that I can get the
spiders and the wasps.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
That's good because not everyone ken.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Someone's trying to support you, Bree, They said Bree, you
bring Mama Die to your relationship.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
That is something I do, Bree, I do like without
me to leave.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
You so she doesn't lose excess to.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
To be honest, Mamma Die kind of loves my partner
more than me, so I feel if we were to
break up, Mama Die would choose.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
My husband's only skill is reaching things on high shelves.
It sounds like your husband could be replaced with a
stip ladder.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah yeah, quite easily replaced.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Just saying the children would ever step father on?

Speaker 4 (16:35):
This is mate. That's good.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Come on, Claudiah, that was good. That was a step father.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
You know what this has made me realize this whole thing.
It's made me.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Realize I need to have my game. Well yeah, I
need to start tape.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, and I cannot make this document.
Yeah I cannot. I cannot give up my secrets.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, because you're obsolete in the relationship once you hand
it up.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah yeah, or just make it it only gets released
upon my death. Oh yeah, Oh no, then I'm incentivizing
my death again.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Okay, yeah, you've already incentivized that.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Enough Insans Branklin.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Super Bowl sixty went down yesterday the Patriots versus the
sea Hawks.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Spoiler alert the sea Hawks took it out.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Spoiler alert it was yesterday.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Well, who knows bad Bunny performed? It was fantastic. But
the thing I was interested in, I was like, how
many how much of people paying to go to this thing?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Was in San Francisco? I think so, yeah, Francisco.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
I know that the stadium it was at Levi's Stadium,
which seats sixty eight thousand, five hundred somewhere around that.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Is that it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, which makes the tickets very hot property. Everyone, obviously
who was a fan of the Paige and the Seahawks
wanted a seat inside this stadium.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
I saw a.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Video of this guy who was there outside the stadium
walking around asking punters how much that they paid for
their tickets.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Santa Clara. Santa Clara is where it was in California.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, right, here's a guy that's outside the stadium asking
people how much did you pay for your Super Bowl ticket?

Speaker 3 (18:28):
How much did you beat for your tickets?

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Today?

Speaker 3 (18:30):
I bought two at thirteen and I bought another two
at six.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
How many tickets you get?

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Four tickets?

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Four tickets?

Speaker 4 (18:36):
How much it costs twelve thousand, five hundred dollars a take,
oh my fifty grand, about seven thousand.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
US around eight thousand per chief spent.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
How much you make your tickets?

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Abourdiate hundred private tickets? That first lady who said two
at thirteen and two at.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Six, two at thirteen thousand thousand, yes, I put she
mean one hundred.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
No, thirteen thousand.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
She bought two thirteen thousand dollars tickets to the Super
Bowl and two six thousand dollars tickets to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Need I remind you this is us money? Jeez usd I.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Changed your mind. I don't want to go to the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I've had a look online and there is a guy
that is an expert around this and he's done some
hunting around what are the cheapest tickets and what are
the most expensive. So, judging from his research, a very
cheap ticket to the Super Bowl sixty yesterday was like

(19:33):
four and a half thousand. Really was one of the
cheaper tickets.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yes, Wow, for four.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
And a half thousand dollars, I would expect so much.
I'd expect like a park right outside the stadium and
all the beer I could drink.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Okay, let's put this into context.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Let's say it's a Rugby World Cup Final final. The
only ticket you can get. Someone offers you a ticket
and says it's four and a half thousand. I are
you because like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I have waited sometimes
their whole life.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
I mean, I'm not saying I would pay that, but
I'm just saying it's the Rugby World Cup Final.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
The all blecks are.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
In the tough it's a tough one. It's a tough one.
Our new boss, Marty went to the last Rugby World
Cup Final that was here with his dad and I
remember him telling me how much their tickets how much.
I think they were like twelve hundred and fifty dollars
a ticket.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
And that was like back in the day.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
That was twenty eleven, that was fifteen years ago.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, so I mean with inflation, that's probably what like,
it'd be.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Very hard to justify a four and a half thousand
dollar ticket. Very hard to justify. I mean even if
you had the money.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yeah, I don't know if I could do it.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Ah, I don't know if I could. I don't know
if I could like literally do it. And that's the
cheapest ticket. That's the cheapest one.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
It's a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I just I mean, if you're a fan, you don't,
don't sit.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
There and lie. I reckon if the opportunity arose.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, the Knicks Regby World covers in Australia, yes, and
it could be the All Blacks in the final. And
I have no idea how much those tickets would go for.
But I mean, you wouldn't get the trap with the
accommodation and flights for less than that amount.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
You wouldn't. But these people, like.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
These people obviously when they went to the super Bowl
would have had to pay for like other stuff as well.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
That was just the ticket.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Oh you're not leaving without the hat and the T
shirt and the food and.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Accommodation, the flights like that was just their ticket, which
is outrageous. I thought we could ask people this afternoon.
We're very interested to know what is the most you've
ever paid for a seat? And that can be to
a sporting event, it can be to a music thing
like wherever it is, whatever it was, what is the

(21:59):
most you've ever paid paid for a ticket?

Speaker 3 (22:01):
You can go first.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
Um, that's a great question.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
You didn't thought about it.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
Nah, you go firstal thing.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
I told you guys what it was. Now other week
when I went to the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere,
I paid in US dollars four hundred and then when
I checked my credit card, that was eight hundred and
fifty New Zealand dollars. That's by far. It was one ticket,
and I bought it on the day of the show,
and it's by far the most expensive ticket I've ever bought.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
It might yeah, that's I mean, but the trip to
Vegas was this makes you feel better? Yeah, yeah, you're
not buying a super Bowl ticket, Laudia.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
I think Taylor Swift a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Back, you guys paid for your ears to.

Speaker 8 (22:40):
Her, including flights in a comedy. No, just ticket tickets
with three fifty maybe three fifty, But then yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Isn't it crazy that three hundred and fifty dollars Taylor
Swift tickets now seem reasonable? Yeah, a little bit six? Yeah,
I know, but you were still there.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Yeah, I was in the room, Like when you.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Compare them to the prices we're seeing for these Harry
Styles tickets, Yeah, well, what's.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
A Harry Styles ticket?

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Goven hundred?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, see I think the most I've ever paid for
a ticket I've thought about it now would have been
my Lady Gaga tickets last year, which were four hundred.

Speaker 8 (23:11):
Yeah, it's expense nowadays.

Speaker 9 (23:14):
Remember when concerts were like seventy bucks.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Even when I bought my ticket then, I was like
poor four hundred dollars those days.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Say, while people are tixting and someone said, my second
tickets were way cheaper.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Thanks, they were like two twenty.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Didn't you go twice?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Actually? Actually so, do I add them together?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
No?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
You don't, otherwise claudial start adding them. Price a bit
o shit.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Technically it was like six hundred and twenty because I
went twice.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
We're getting ticks on this. Someone said I paid nine
hundred dollars for my wife and I to see Wu Tang. Yeah,
but that sounds like it was nine hundred for two tickets.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
That's different.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
I'm still crazy, but yeah, yeah, yeah, I paid twelve
thousand dollars for a VIP tinted tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Then wow, See that's crazy dollars.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
WHOA, let's get them in though we're looking for the
most bents of ticket, The most you ever paid for
a seat to something? Yes, could have been a show,
It could have been a concert, could have been a
sporting event, Formula one races coming.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
That's not cheap.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
What did your seat cost? The most of you ever paid? Oh,
eight hundred dollars at them? If you want to blow
our minds podcast.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Super Bowl sixty went down yesterday and we were talking
about how much a ticket costs if you wanted to
go to the game.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Tens of thousands, lots.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
One of the cheapest tickets for four thousand, give or
take the more expensive tickets. There were people paying up
to twenty eight thousand dollars for a ticket to a
football game, to one football game.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, which have you? I mean, have you got it?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
If you've got it, yeah, then of course, I mean,
you know, spend your money crazy.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
But as the richest people would not have paid for
their tickets, the Kim Kardashians and the Lewis Hamiltons that
were their free courts. They would have been in a
free corporate box and you would be paying twelve thousand
dollars for the privilege of being there.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
But we want to know what was the thing where
you were like, I have to be there, this is

Speaker 3 (26:16):
We're going to go up from there. Let's go to

Speaker 2 (26:36):
I'm in Singapore?

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Singapore?

Speaker 4 (26:38):
And how much Chevorne are we talking per ticket?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
I think it was like twelve hundred dollars And keeping
in mind this was.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Like the basic pisant seats people, that's.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
For a peasants seat twelve hundred bucks, for a pavo
seats thirteen hundred bucks seated the Singapore Grand Prix. So
you can see the cars from a distance, go, I mean.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
Your blanket's gone, you know.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Thirteen hundred dollars and may make your shit on hey bales,
like you're over there in the pig pen.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Did you get to meet a driver or anything?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
No?

Speaker 4 (27:09):
No, it's just a massive race.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Like if you could pick one driver to meet Chavaughn,
who would it be?

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Child with Claire? I mean he's a cutey.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
Here.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yes, no regrets, Chevorn, No, no regrets.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
No, of course not.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
We've got great texts coming in on us. The most
expensive seat you ever purchased?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Someone said, nineteen hundred dollars for two tickets to the
UFC in Sydney.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
It's pretty expensive.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah. I paid four hundred and fifty bucks to see Coldplay,
got early entry on field, even got.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
A merch bag at the end. It's not too bad.
What about this? I love this text. I paid five
hundred dollars for front row seats at Disney on Ice.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Hell yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Wonder if they were like, this is worth every.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Think about a five hundred dollars front row seat at
Disney on Ice as you can't just buy one seat.
Generally there's a kid that you need to buy a
ticket for too. I mean, unless you are a solo
Disney adult sitting front row at Disney on Ice, in
which case.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Kill your boots, go for it.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Someone said, hey, guys, I paid one thousand dollars each
for me and my seven year old to see the
Eagles in Sydney.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Thirteen hundred bucks Rugby World Cup Final in twenty eleven Yeah,
that's what I thought it was.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Someone said, eminem, I think they were around five hundred
dollars per ticket for front standing in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Oh the Rapture Tour.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Yeah, which how long ago was that? Now?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Fifteen year close to fifteen years ago, So fifty twelve
years ago and he hasn't been back.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Five hundred bucks fifteen years ago. That's pretty exy.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
I paid twenty five thousand dollars for a first class
aeroplane ticket.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Who I wonder how long that flight was.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
You'd want it to be as long as possible, and.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
Was it worth it? I remember I used to have this.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
I thought it was a hack back in the day
because when I was like a student, had no money
or like you know, when I was first doing like
bits and bobs, I was like, oh, I can never
afford gold class movies, but it was my favorite thing
in the world to do. So I would allow myself
to gold class movies a year and I would wait
until the longest movie.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Had come out, and I did not care what it was.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah, so you get your bang for buck.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
So I think one of the movies I saw for
context was The Curious Case of Benjamin button.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
It goes for like three hours.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
You should treat yourself to a gold class for weathering heights.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Oh true, it's a pretty long movie.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Evatar Dad missed an international flight cost him five grand
for an economy seat.

Speaker 6 (29:45):
Yell.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Someone said, I paid five hundred and eighty pounds for
a grandstand ticket to the f one at Silverstone and
the worst thing was it poured all day.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yeah, that's what it would once you paid the money.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
It well, of course, but it was an amazing day.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Thirteen fifteen grand one way flight to England on.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Emirates WrestleMania tickets four thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
I paid seven hundred and fifty dollars to have obstructed
view errors to her tickets. How much seven fifty for obstruction?
That would have been resale tickets. I'd say, yeah, what
about this?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
My husband forked out three thousand dollars so I could
meet Britney Spears all.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Four seconds of it. Your husband would have been so pissed.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
You would have been like, you met her for four
seconds and I paid three grand.

Speaker 5 (30:35):

Brian Clinton amusing just automatically started when we lost to
I'm very good.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
It's z m's bringing Clint podcast.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Taylor Swift open Lights. Was she in the Super Bowl yesterday?
We didn't go because Travis wasn't playing.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Yeah, I doubt she would have went.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
She didn't even watch football before she dated Travis.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
She says it in the documentary. She's like, I've never
been a football fan.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Oh, fair enough.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
And she said to her dad in the documentary, She's like,
did you ever see the day when I'd be such
a fan?

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Yeah? What a dad say? Her dad was stoked. Yeah, yeah,
oh nice. If you put a Super Bowl bit down yesterday,
how did you do? I would have. I didn't, but
if I did, I would have done bad because I
would have been on the Patriots to win. I would
have gone, oh, yeah, they usually win, I'll go with them.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
And this is why gambling is so stupid.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
I know, because like people over here in New Zealand,
they're like.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Oh, Tom Brady right, it's been retired for like five years.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Oh Tom Brady right, Hill went another Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
I saw two crazy losing bits that were placed yesterday
on the Super Bowl The first one was by Drake.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Why does he do such big bets on sporting events?

Speaker 3 (35:49):
You know Drake manor that one?

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Yeah, No, I know Drake.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
He does a lot of sports bits and he puts
them all on Instagram too. I'm putting this money on
Jake Paul. I'm putting this money on.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Big Raptors fan.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah, because he's from Toronto. He put a million dollars
on the Patriots to win yesterday and he put the
screen shot up. If it had come in, he would
have won just shy of three million dollars. But it
didn't not worth at ay, so not worth the race
lost a million dollars.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Not worth the risk at all.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
You know, if he's not too careful, he's gonna go back.
He's gonna have to go back to his work under
Grassy High if he keeps doing these bets getting close.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
You know.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
The other crazy bit I saw was from a furniture
store owner from Houston. He placed the biggest publicly disclosed bet.
So there'll be some private ones that you never get
to see, but the ones that go with the big
betting companies, like whatever their tab or something is. He
put two million dollars down on the Patriots to win

(36:57):
two million dollars. Us he with his steak, he would
have won four million dollars. Not worth it, but he lost.
His name is Jim Mattress mac mcelvey, macinveil. He's the
mattress man.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
He's gonna need a mattress for a lie down after
losing two million dollars.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Well, you know what his thing was. He did a
promo with his customers and he said, if you spend
four thousand dollars on a mattress and the Patriots win,
you'll get a full refund. You get that mattress for free.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
Oh see, I like that.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Yeah, And so he probably sold a few mattresses. But
I mean, how many mattresses do you have to sell
to HIV two million dollar bet?

Speaker 4 (37:40):
So many?

Speaker 3 (37:41):
So then everyone buys the mattresses, he puts the bet down,
and then if the bet comes in, he pays them
back for their mattress and probably makes the money too.
And his bet didn't come in, but he probably sold
enough mattress. I don't know, you know, just silly. It's
just you're not making enough money to be betting that much. Nah,
you know, I don't remember the last bit of mine

(38:04):
that came in Like, I don't think a bit much,
but when I do, I'm like, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
When we went to the NRL Grand Final last year
with Boys' Trip, we went to the races the day
before and I came last. My horse in the in
the what's the name pot came last.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
We were there for the whole day. I think we
saw eight races, and we bet we didn't win a
single one on every single race and we didn't win
a single one.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
The only thing I did win was coming dead last,
which was one hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
You got the Booby prize for coming last.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Yeah, but then I forgot to I forgot to get
the money.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
As boys get paid as that. Yeah, yeah, you hear that.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Boys get paid.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
We don't forget as zed M's Brinklin podcast.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
John Aiken from Mathson Studio with us in ten minutes.

But should we have asked for Iddie for iddies.

Speaker 9 (40:05):

Well you wait, put the whole country on hold right now.

Speaker 4 (43:38):

Speaker 3 (43:43):
We're going to give it five four three two one.
We're hanging up.

Speaker 7 (43:52):

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Haystacker is a fail. Everybody you ask anyone when we
are broadcast live from join us anyway.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
He didn't answer anyway, So you're right.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
We lostland married at first Australia came back last night
for season thirteen and John Aiken, one of the OG
experts in the studio with us now cured to John.
Welcome to the Brian clnd John Curda, it is so
good to be here. John's just been giving us the

(44:25):
unbridled truth about season thirteen of Maths Australia. And could you,
in a word or a couple of words, just sum
up the overarching vibe of the season of me.

Speaker 7 (44:35):
We've got boss babes that are here to conquer, yes,
power and dominate. The whole series is about power and
control and essentially the talking point is when when do
you go too far? People say I'm just speaking of
truth and they feel like that kind of allows them
to say anything, doesn't know how nasty it is. You

(44:57):
see a lot of that on the show.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, when does be honest move into your just being
an asshole?

Speaker 7 (45:03):
Well, I think you just have to watch our show
for maybe a couple of episodes, so you're going to
you're gonna find that out.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
It's some people say to you no offense, but then
they proceed to say the most offensive thing they could
possibly say to you. You don't get to say it
just because you said, this is my truth, that's right.

Speaker 7 (45:18):
And when I come at them, and I do go
hard at them throughout the whole series. They say, John,
I know what you are. You're just another man trying
to silence No, and I'm not going to have it
because I'm a girl's girl and I'm speaking my truth.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
So do you use that on Clinton?

Speaker 6 (45:33):
Now?

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Hey, Clint, don't tell me what to do. I'm speaking
my truth.

Speaker 7 (45:36):
You're just silencing me.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Okay, Okay. I'm surrounded by our numbers.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (45:43):
And I didn't know that they existed. But there is
a subset of people out there that are dating that
are like thirty somethings, and they are incredibly overpowering and domineering,
and that that is the boss guy.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
Do you think that's why people like that end up
on a show like Married at First Sight? Is that
possibly why they are unlucky in love so far?

Speaker 7 (46:00):
You'll watch it and you'll go, I think you would
be very difficult to go out with.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
That's something I've noticed this season, John, is that that's
a little bit different from other seasons. Is that pretty
much everyone is in their thirties or above.

Speaker 6 (46:12):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Is that what you guys wanted to do this season?

Speaker 7 (46:15):
We wanted to absolutely move away from men behaving badly
because we've seen that and we've had that. We wanted
strong women on the show, and also to match them
with strong men s he'd have power couples. But the
women really became the whole story this year, and the
men don't know what to do because they if they
speak up, they get really crucified. Also in the group

(46:38):
dynamic the women, some of the women really struggle with
this boss babe sort of group, but they also get
annihilated when they stand up.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
Yeah, it sounds like my high school experience.

Speaker 7 (46:50):
It's high school.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Do you know this about these people before you put
them on the show.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
We knew that they were powerful, We knew that they
were independent and strong, but we didn't know that they
would organically team up at the Hen's night. And therefore,
what you've got is a show which is very fresh
and unique because we've never had that before. We've had
one or two women that lock horns, but never a
group on mass doing this.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Because I look at someone like Crest from this season. Yeah,
the first time we meet Cress when he says no
fake ten, no fat checks, that's.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
The team, reminds me of Elliott from last season. A
little bit like different character, but that.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Kind of do you know someone like Chres holds that
belief system before you recruit them, and do you bring
him on in the hopes of going, let's see if
we can improve Cres's out lock.

Speaker 7 (47:35):
We do know that he's got some pretty polarizing ideas
because he didn't like the experts either. He was very skeptical.
He thought we were a joke. That The interesting thing
with him is that while he's outspoken, polarizing and upsets
a lot of people, we match him with an international
model and he's like, this is good. And then she
meets him. Maybe the experts reluctantly say, Okay, they've done

(47:59):
well here. But his challenge is she looks at him
and goes, you're not good enough. Oh and he's never
been on the receiving end of that before, right.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
So the tables are turb That's so interesting storyline, John,
I've always wanted to ask, because you're so good at
what you do on this show.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
You're so professional.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I believe you genuinely help these people grow and you
see that. But is there ever a time where you
just think, internally, God, I just can't help this person.

Speaker 7 (48:26):
Oh yeah, absolutely, because and you'll know it fairly quickly
because when you're confronting them, they'll roll their eyes, they'll
come back at you, they'll gaslight, they'll talk in riddles
and circles, they'll blame everybody else but themselves, and so
you're trying to hit them at different angles in a
very short, sharp way, but you're getting total resistance and

(48:49):
then you realize, Okay, we've got a problem here. They
then may take it one step further, and they do
this year where they look at me and they just say,
I'm out of here, and they get up, they walk out,
and they never come back. So you're going to see
storm outs. You're going to see people that are very
defense so they're stuck in their ways, and you know
very quickly that they're not changing.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
God, you've hooked me in. I'm going to be tuning in.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
Do you know what we do have this year as well?
We have our first bisexual woman. I saw that on
episode and she's amazing. She's a fashionista.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
She doesn't know whether she's meeting a man or a
woman at the Old Side.

Speaker 7 (49:22):
She hasn't, she said, surprised me, and so we did.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I heard a rumor that she knows Lucinda from the
past season.

Speaker 7 (49:31):
She's got plenty of Lucinda lights, sort of attitude, mentality.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
That kind of vibe about her.

Speaker 7 (49:37):
Yeah, and she's beautiful both inside and out. But you
don't know whether when the person we've matched it with,
whether she actually does want a man or a woman.
Now we go one way, but the question is did
she want to go the other way?

Speaker 2 (49:53):
But she said she should have said that that's right.

Speaker 7 (49:56):
So that is a very compelling storyline.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
Can we keep you here for a minute, actually, Becau,
this is really interesting stuff. I want to ask you
some questions, some broader questions about dating, if that's okay
and the dating landscape in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
Is this to help your marriage or it's.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
More of a dating outside of my marriage? So we'll
get back with John aikin straight after this.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
John zidech CDMs Bree and Clint Podcast.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
John Aiken from Maths is here spilling all the goss
on season thirteen. That's out now on three and three
now it's on you three now out. There'll be the
second note episode up tonight for you to stream. Can
I talk you about what dating is like in twenty
twenty six because there'd be lots of people listening now
who may not have the will to go on a
show like Married at First Sight, but they could do
with some insights into dating in twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 7 (50:40):
What I hear about from our participants in terms of
the dating will is that it is a nightmare.

Speaker 6 (50:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (50:45):
And one of the great things about.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
Hell escape is a word I've heard used like yeah
because I get a front row seat every year in
terms of what the real world is like, or singles
out there, twenty five year old, because.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
You would have felt like you'd been dating the last fifteen,
like ten years that you've been doing this show.

Speaker 7 (51:02):
And it always changes tiktoks of big influence. So we've
had tradwives, we've had warrior mindsets, we talk about gas lighting,
and this year we've got one woman that says to me, John,
I need you to make me feel baby.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Pink, baby pink?

Speaker 4 (51:15):
What does that mean?

Speaker 7 (51:16):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Shall we look our producers because maybe we're all just
too old.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Her face tells me, no, she doesn't.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Someone needs if they want to feel baby pink.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
No, I'm trying to guess, like, like.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Does she want to be swallowing princess?

Speaker 7 (51:30):
Well, yeah, she is a princess. Loves Disney, wants to
be kissed in a certain way, but I need more
from you. We had to match you with a guy
that was blue.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
Oh what, yeh, I'm.

Speaker 7 (51:41):
Not too old.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
This is crazy.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
There's a stand that I see come up quite regularly
online about dating, and it says eighty percent of women
are interested in twenty percent of men. I saw that,
and I imagine that's true vice versa. Eighty percent of
men are interested in twenty percent of women. I don't
know if that's true. Do you believe that that's true?
And is that something that you see reflected in the
people that come on the show.

Speaker 7 (52:04):
No, I don't see that reflected on the show. What
I see on the show is that these people are
trying to date both men and women. They are influenced
by TikTok. They have unrealistic expectations, and their attitudes are
based on an algorithm. So they'll say things that are
kind of a little weird, like blue and pink jobs.
A healthy relationship is based on blue and pink jobs.

(52:26):
Or I have about four people say John, You've got
to match me with someone that gives me pretty babies,
because that's the secret to a successful relationship.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Oh my god.

Speaker 7 (52:35):
Wow, So that's strange, but that's coming from TikTok and
so ultimately we'll see whatever the trend is show up
on the experiment every year, and blue and pink jobs
is what currently is the go. But it doesn't allow
them to really make successful relationships happen.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Do you think, John, It comes down to the fact
that we're so heavily influenced by all these different things
in our life that we act actually don't really know
what we want or who we are.

Speaker 7 (53:02):
That's right. And in fact, they probably they almost use
this list of non negotiables. Yeah, I remember one of
them last year said, John, don't match me with someone
who only does four fitness sessions a week. Keep me
away from someone who likes luxury handbags, yea nice restaurants,
and particularly, don't give me someone with a career or
who was ambitious.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
So you don't see the person you have sit of
criteria And yeah, that's right, and so you as soon
as they see as soon as he's right, so they
write the person off.

Speaker 7 (53:33):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
It's the same as dating within a pay bracket, right,
you go. My partner has to earn this amount of
money and then.

Speaker 7 (53:38):
I think apps have created this problem because they just
have such a pool of people to choose from, and
they just rule them out as soon as they see
something that's not right. What's surprising for me was that
over the last few years they come on our show
and I say, why are you here? And they said,
because your show. If I get matched with a guy,
at least he might stick around for ten weeks versus

(53:59):
one date.

Speaker 4 (53:59):
We have a chance.

Speaker 7 (54:00):
Wow, we have a chance.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
What is your best advice for people listening that are
dating in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 7 (54:07):
What I would say to them is sit down with
your best friend or a sister or a brother, someone
who's going to give you some home truths and say,
all right, open a glass of a bottle of wine.
Have a glass, say tell me why I'm bad at relationships.
Give me the honest truth.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Don't hold back so they can be like you in
this situation. The john as.

Speaker 7 (54:26):
Tell me the wrong types that I go out with,
the red flags that I ignore, the things that I
do that attract really low rent people. Now, once you
figure that out, you go, all right, I'm going to
say to you right now, my trusted friend, I'm going
to do it different. I'm now going to go in
different situations where I'm not going to meet those guys.

(54:48):
If I ever meet a manchild, for instance, I'm going
to immediately dump and run. I'm not going to give
them a second chance.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (54:54):
So you are essentially learning from your lessons that you're
getting the feedback on, and you're saying I'm doing it
completely differently. The big problem I think with people that
are dating is that they don't have that feedback. No,
They're just in this sort of echo chamber of I'm
always right. I don't know why I'm single, but I
do keep going out with guys that say in the
first date, I'm not really looking for commitment. Yeah, that's

(55:18):
the problem.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
That's a red and you don't have anybody giving you
the brutal truth why that's happening.

Speaker 7 (55:23):
That's right. A lot of people don't want to hear that,
But I would say having been on the show for
a long time and being that voice of reason, the
sort of swift upper cut, that helps because you then
sit there and go, Okay, well, if I keep going
out with that guy that does want commitment, I'm not
learning Well.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
It's one of my favorite parts of the show. Is
you dishing out those hard truth same.

Speaker 4 (55:43):
I love that when you go one on one.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
So we can't wait to see more of that.

Speaker 7 (55:47):
There's a lot of it because boss babes, they don't
like the feedback.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
The whole season is already off to a wild start.
The first episode is out last night on the three
Now app. The second episode will be out tonight. We
can't wait to see how see. In the thirteen of
Married at First Sight Australia, unfolds John Aikan before you go.
Is there ever going to be another season of Married
at First Sight in New Zealand?

Speaker 7 (56:07):
Well, I would love that. Obviously you would have to
be the third expert on.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
John.

Speaker 7 (56:14):
But to get to get on board, we're gonna have
to up the anti in terms of funding.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Yes, watch the space.

Speaker 7 (56:23):
Yeah, I think ultimately it'd be great to have it back.
But what you'll see when you watch Married at First
Sight Australia is it's very expensive to make. It's so
highly produces, like every episode is like a movie.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
It really is, and that's why people love music.

Speaker 7 (56:38):
The city scapes, the drone shots.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
We're very poor here.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
They're drinking. Yeah, you wear some spiffy suits. John, I'll
tell you they're not to come cheap.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
John Agan, thank you so much. We're excited for this, John,
great to be here.

Speaker 2 (56:52):

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Now all we need is your birthdayeenth of February nineteen
ninety five. All right, that means you were sixteen and
twenty eleven and on that day back in twenty eleven,
this had a number one hit, A huge hit for
Katy Perry I wish that and Kanye I believe written

(58:24):
about Russell Brand.

and we've done our calculations.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Yeah, Matchbox twenty.

Yeah, you're my top fetal.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
I don't even need to think about it. That's my vote.
Do you know what gonna wash away? Are believer?

Speaker 3 (59:28):
It could easily be my vote. But I also like promiscuous,
and I like that Neve called up to do Mums one,
so that's kind of a factor in it for me too.
I'm gonna go promiscuous.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Okay, that means we go to Claudia, who will make
the decision.

Speaker 4 (59:43):
What's it going to be? Out of the three claud.

Speaker 8 (59:47):
I think because we played Katie Pierry yesterday is the
only reason I'm not choosing it. I want Matchbox twenty.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
I thought we were. I thought we were locked down
on promiscuous.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Is it the line where the rain's gonna wash away?

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
Hey me, you're the winero a birthday banger? Well done,

(01:00:47):
came up as green Lane Medical Center. Are we sharing
a phone line with Green Lane Medical Center? I know
it's concerning if we are.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Yeah, because people should not be calling us in an emergence.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
But also if you save the number, who do you
save it under? Because are you are you about to
receive free concert tickets or are you about to receive

A free prostate exam?

Speaker 6 (01:01:11):
Yeah?
