for dinner with a six week old. Don't just say
just go.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Up coming, he's not coming.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, And it's pretty impressive to be on the radio
and answer some questions when you're six weeks certain.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna blame it on baby baby brain.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
On the way you're taking on our trading from Hamilton.

save the ladies, but now she's ended up playing on
the trades team. Welcome to the show, Samantha, Hello, you

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I had big plans to go there for my fortieth Yeah,
and now I don't know if I can be bothered.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I mean, we sound very uncoo, but it does like
I stayed up all night.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Recently to see Dom Dollar. Dom Dollar went on stage
at three am. Absolutely he was the headliner and he
went on at three am.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Absolutely not so yeah, that's that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's no place for it.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
You need to be in a deep rim by then.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah. Yeah, my sleep data, my smart watch would have conniptions.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Brow you are.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Big high school musical news today.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh my gosh, so I saw and I don't even
know if this is even true, but I'm going with that.
And I don't know why this came up on my
Facebook when I was looking for it, or even while
I was on Facebook, but Armageddon Expo did a little
or Glynn guess hunt and then just on as the
picture it's his high school musical.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Smart from them. They know, they know the millennials are
thirsty for nostalgia right now. And you know I would
pack out an Armaget, an Expo Troy Bolton.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Good job reference. Yeah, I mean a Zachi from came
to Auckland Armageddon. I would lose everything inside me.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
That's they sit the bar really high, don't they, Because
it's not going to be.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
It's not going to be.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
And I said it could be Vanessa Hudgens and you said, no,
I reckon Vanessa Hudgens is too big as well.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
She's too big as well. I even think I'm like,
actually Tisdale might be too big. It could be like
we was talking to producer Cordo's Fairy anti musical as well.
By the way, same with Pitch Perfect. So great, first movie,
second movie, met in the summer, third movie. They really
brought it.

Speaker 8 (08:08):
Back high budget on that one.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
The last one good. Yeah, but like mentioned if they
had chaired so Corbyn Blue that I'd come up for that,
even me late lining up to get a photo and
a signature.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Taylor Swift fans are swifties and Twilight fans are twy hard's.
What are high school musical fans like you guys old
Google sees Wildcats? Oh your wildcats?

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, because that's their bustball, Yeah, Wildcats. I was actually
in a production of high school musical Into the Dove
for the We, and it wasn't even it wasn't a
school production. It was like a winter long a Yeah.
I was like, I did drama and like dancing and
stuff and so like it was really busy, so I

(08:56):
had to go after school like twice a week. I
got the part of the teacher, like the old teachers,
and so they had one adult who was like the
basketball teacher, and then it was all kids and then
I was like the other adult. But I was actually
a kid. I was only like fifteen.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I was going to say, how old were you?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
I was like fourteen or fifteen. I'm like, oh you
bloody kids?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Were you really tall?

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I don't know. I think they like, were you the only.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Only fifteen year old? And Timuru with boobs? And they
were like, she can be the teacher.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I actually won a trophy for like best New Actress,
did you yes? But this gets me onto another sad
story of my acting career because I was also that
year in the stage show production of Chicago.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Now man, how bumping is the Timaru amateur musical.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Theater s not amateur?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well did you get paid?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
No? That makes it sound so it wasn't an insult,
I guess yeah, No, it was. It was pumping that
year and I was one. So there was a cast
of about forty of us. I was a dancer and
I just had these massive like as you can imagine Chicago.
So it was beautiful and just very sixy and it

(10:10):
was all yeah. But unfortunately I was the only one
that didn't get.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
A microphone the cat cast of forty and they had
thirty nine microphones. Correct, that sounds intentional.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
So I went to go get my microphone because I
was like, where did you guys get those? Yeah, I
better go get mine to put on my head. You
know they had it was very professional and there wasn't
one with my name on it. And so I went
up to the musical director and I said, Vicky, sorry,
I think there's made a mistake. I can't find my microphone,
and she said she let me den in the eyes
and she to see Caitlin. We thought it was best
that you didn't have one.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
So that's when I found sugarcoat it. She should have said,
you're the only one in this cast that can project.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Actually, do you know what? Mum came to every production
and she could hear me singing. That's how loud I saw.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Thank god you did never microphone. Then got us thinking
it would have happened to a lot of people. And
we want to know what was your bit part in
the in the in the school production, in the local production,
in the school whatever it was you. You wanted to
be a part of it. Maybe you didn't quite have
the acting chops or the singing.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Chops when you found out you couldn't sing, But.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Bless you and bless them, they still found a role
for you. Maybe you were rock number two yeah, or
a tree or a tree is a classic, or a
non speaking part that goes on in one scene and
one scene only. But you had to do every rehearsal
in the three months leading up.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Doesn't mean you're not an important part. You still have
fun on coming to see Alis actually got oh you've
got one.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
My sister Actually I don't even know what Bliman production
it was, but she was a door knob.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
A doorbe I bet she was the best damn doorknob
the North Shore Musical Theater Company had ever produced.

Speaker 9 (11:56):
She said, sing dum.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Actually more door bell? Yeah? Multi dial? Is it in?
Or takes it to nine six nine?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Sex?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
No part too small. Caylin was the only cast member
to not get a microphone and the Tomato Musical production
of Chicago.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
It was because that no, actually, there's no way around there.
I just have a really terrible singing voice.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Well, yeah, then that's how you found out that's funny.
So we asked how small was your part of the production.
Lily's here, Hi, Lily, Hi, tell us the show and
what part you played?

Speaker 5 (12:36):
So the most iconic one was in Cinderella, and I
was the horses us.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Wait wait what horses the carriage?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, the horse that draws the pumpkin carriage.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:53):
So I got to do a fantastic shake.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah. Wait, so you didn't even get your face seen.
It was just your butt wiggling inside a horse costume.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Well, I mean I got to have my face in
when I bowed with the head as a horse at me.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I was going to say, does the horses ask to
a curtain call?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh there was a heat as well? Yes?

Speaker 10 (13:19):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Did you issue you were the hit?

Speaker 5 (13:22):
No? I was pretty happy being the ass.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Wait did you have any lines? As the horses asked?
Did you have any lines to remember?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
No?

Speaker 5 (13:30):
But I did get like slapped on the ass as
I went off stage by the prince.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
So I hope not very charming, Prince charming?

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Very important.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
You can't even askless horse in the production of Cinderella.
Rachel's here, Hi, Rachel, I think yours can actually beat that.
How small was your part? In the production.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
Very small. I was a sultana.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
You were a sultana, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
A non speaking part of you know, the mighty Sultana.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I was going to say, what production required? In which
production did you play a sultana? What? What was the show?

Speaker 8 (14:10):
It was a local primary school made up one.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Of the ones, one of the ones that the teachers right,
and they wrote apart for you as the sultana.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
Any lines, Rachel mine, but my mum hands sewed me
a sultana costume.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Cute that would have been with other sultanas. Re you
the only one?

Speaker 5 (14:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (14:30):
I was one of the Okay, very important, Rachel, very important?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Okay? What for us to talk to the sultana from
what school? Was it?

Speaker 6 (14:42):
Primary in Himilton?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
The Pookitty Primary School production of Sultana's and the Sultana.
That's we are honored. We asked what was your part
in the production? Someone said, I was a background mushroom
in Ellis in Wonderland, not even the main mushroom.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
A background musham. I don't know how many mushrooms they
were in else.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Well, there's the main one, there's the toadstool one, isn't
there the big mushroom that the guy sits on top
of he smokes the product.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yes, yes, yes, so she was behind them.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I was the newspaper boy in the school production, and
now I'm the drama teacher. So suck on that.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
You know, that's a real redemption arc.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
We do have another ass. Okay, it was the ass
of the cow and bad Jelly the witch not even
good enough to look all important roles.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes, I was a cuckoo in a cuckoo clock. I
stood behind this damn clock for a whole act, just
to pop out of the clock and say cuckoo one time.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's really important.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
What would the show be without the cuckoo and the
cuckoo clock exactly?

Speaker 3 (15:49):
And then everything like, no one would know their lines
next if you.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Want to do that, what do they say? There are
no small parts, only small actors.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Correct. Yeah, this is making me feel really great about
not getting my microphone.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
I was one of the forty penguins in the Year
six Antarctica school production. We were just standing in the background,
waddling around in our penguin costumes and mask. That's fun,
and you were forty of you.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's fun. Just like making sure you don't wobble into
each other.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah yeah, someone said, this is long, but it's funny.
My great aunt was a piano teacher and would always
have an end of year concert where we would have
to sing and perform a piece. My brother and I
were both in it one year, and she put us
right at the back. When it came to the singing
section of the show, she said to my brother, just

(16:38):
mouth the words. Yes, we were a little tone deaf.
I don't think I continued music after that. I still
sing along to music at work, and my brother now
plays the drums for Chick, So it didn't kill our confidence. Geez,
your own family member cast you out of the production.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Mouth this one.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
In my school's production of The Little Mermaid, I was
one of the hedgehogs on the beach. Oh, each we
don't have hedgehogs on a beach.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
That's when they start making up extra characters so that
all the children can participate. It's like when you give
all children a certificates.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Hey, they're all important, very important, very important. There's big
protein news today, guys, and obviously if there's big protein news,
we're going to bring you. Big protein news is.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
A very what is happening.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
There's a very click baity headline on the Herald today
which reads, too much protein could kill you? What and
like everyone, in the last two years, I have drastically
increased my protein intake. Aren't we all just so horny
for protein? In twenty twenty six? Protein everything?

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, it's like I've got to get double protein.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Protein, water, protein, protein yogurt, which, let me break this
to you, guys, you're going to hate this.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
That's just yogurt. No, some of them have extra protein.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
No yoga. Guess what yogat is?

Speaker 11 (18:11):
Protein?

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Okay, I've been buying it because it's his protein.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
A hundred percent. It's like protein chicken. Anyway, of course,
if you're consuming as much protein as we are, I'm
not going to not click on a headline that says
too much protein could kill you.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Right, It's not.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
True, it's it's it's clickbait. Essentially, they're saying very high
amounts of protein, particularly from sources like red meat or
processed meat, might increase the risk of chronic disease and
shorten your lifespan and people who don't exercise, right, So it's.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Just like not eating too much. So what about like
if I do double skip my protein and the Yeah,
I feel like that's okay.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, I hope it's okay because I'm I'm just putting
protein in everything. I'm putting protein in my breakfast, upping
the protein in my lunch.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Sometimes I'll add some protein to my dinner, right, and
then after dinner, I'll have yogurt with guess what, some
protein powder making your prots up gm br, I reckon,
I'm eighteen months into my protein journey and guess what,
no difference to my life whatsoever? I don't feel more muscular.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Do you feel fuller?

Speaker 1 (19:26):
No, I'm always I'm literally always hungry.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Oh. I thought there was the idea of protein me too,
And wasn't it supposed to give you muscles? Yes, like
the muscles. I was just told recently that you have
tear protein straight after the gym, Like you can't be
going home and having a shit now, You've got to
have it before you have the shower. That's the only
way that it works. It's so much you know we need.

(19:49):
It's exhausted.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
You know what we need? Protein shower gel, protein shampoo,
protein hand soap.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Protein. Yeah, yeah, protein IV drips, protein IV drips that's
not a thing. Intravenous protein. It's not a thing.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
It could be.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
It could be.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Don't well, it.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Is kind of exhausting, and protein's like not that nice.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Depends where you get it. I watched this guy drinking
cups of raw egg whites na on Instagram yesterday. He goes,
this is how I add twenty five grams of protein
to every meal, and it's just a cup of raw
egg whites.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Didn't they tell us that too many eggs is going
to kill you as well?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Now it's the good cholesterol.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
I think I can't keep up. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Protein News tomorrow, Creatine News Podcast, The Tea.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
This is the tea?

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Are we getting a Barbie movie? Two? Were you a
big fan of the first one?

Speaker 3 (20:58):
I did really like it. Every one loved the first
Come on the Week, Important Things to Do Her.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
I thought it had the potential to be very bad
and cheesy. Yeah, I done Greater Gritter Gerwig.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Yeah she was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
So Warner Brothers made crazy money from that film, and
they are so keen to do a sequel. News out
today that Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling the two stars
that you have to have back for the sequel. You
have to have Barbie and Kim back. Oh yeah, they
can't agree on contracts for the sequel. They the movie
was so successful and so rightly so they're asking for

(21:39):
quite a lot of money. Rumor is Ryan Gosling's asking
for twenty million dollars up front and a share of
the film's profits as well.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Margo is reportedly asking for similar and then Greta, who's
the director. She is managed by the same talent agency,
and he's like, well, if they're getting twenty miil, then
Greta gets twenty mil as well.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Well, there's kind of fear enough. I think Ryan's, you know,
for a movie all about the gals. Yeah, he shouldn't
be asking for that much. The gals should be getting more. Okay,
that's a press's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what the
movie is about.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
But they made one point four billion dollars. Okay, that
film made one billion dollars. So if the stars, the
three most important people, Margo, Ryan, Greta aren't asking for
the big bucks, then who wins. You know, here's where
it's crazy. The studio is under pressure to get the
contracts over the line and get the sequel commissioned because

(22:40):
their rights to the Barbie franchise. Mattel still owns the franchise.
Their Warner Brothers' rights expire in December, and if they
don't get it done, it goes back out to the market.
Someone else can have it. But they can't use the
same storylines and the same actors, So they have to
reinvent the Barbie universe and then again.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
And that would f Ryan and Mago Winternet and then
oh my god, we'll get some new music because remember
Billie Eilish wrote for.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
A year to Alipa years, wasn't she. Yeah, there was
of just to add a level of detail to it.
Greta and the co writer, Noah Bomboch. They said that
they've got all the ideas ready for the sequel, but
they're not sharing any of it until the lead actors

(23:27):
are signed on.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Yeah, there you go. Now we'll know if it does
come out, we'll be like, well, they got what.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
They wanted exactly right. That's the tea.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
The ZDM podcast Network.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Caitlyn Merritt is here filling in for Breeche. He's on
baby leave for a couple more weeks. Baby's baby's very new. Okay,
give her a break. I'ma die has just got here.
It's all going on at the Thomas Owe household. Who's
got the story about this very needy dog?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
That's well, I'm actually I just went to google it
because I saw it. This is not the first story
of this stepening. This is like an actual thing that
is provided for dogs with anxiety.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Oh, this is not a one off.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Well I thought it was, and then it came up
with a bunch of different stories about Ella.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
What's the details, Well, the.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
Details of icere on Tiktog was this family, Yes, had
a very anxious dog, you know, the dogs that can't
be alone and that can be quite hard for owners.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I hadn't seen I'd be so passed off if I
got a dog and it turned out to be one
of the anxious dogs, you know, because you've already made
it part of your family. And then you're like, oh man,
this dog's are dud.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
You're like, I've already got enough anxiety for both of us.
Like someone's got to hold this house now.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I have to be anxious about that dog with anxiety.

Speaker 9 (24:39):
Yeah, you have to get a camera for it.

Speaker 7 (24:40):
If you're out, So this could be a good tip
for you if you're listening with an anxious dog. This
family bought a mannequin for their dog to sit on.
Oh so the mellican's on the couch. Oh my god,
the dog's just sitting on the annequin's lap.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
And dress it in like your or your partners or
someone's clothes. That would scare the shit out of my head.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
Imagine it's like three am.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
You're up getting water in the kitchen and the man
at this mannican.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
And the dog's just like what these these people said.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
They've dressed it in the in the owner's clothes, and
they even added a tattoo sleeve to the mannequin because
the owner has a tattoo slove.

Speaker 9 (25:25):
My gosh, it's ridiculous what we do for our pets.
It's just silly, but they are part of it. Oh totally.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
Like if my sister was anxious, maybe i'd also get American.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
How you're carerying your sister? What about when you lick
your cats?

Speaker 9 (25:41):
Yep, I can own that. I acknowledge.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
So the topic is the length that you've gone to
for an animal, And if you were just tuning in
our producer Ella Foster's cats, and has taken it upon
herself to lick these motherless cats.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
To motherless anymore. No, I'm the mother, Yeah, to remind
them of their mum, of your mum.

Speaker 7 (26:03):
It's just a thing that they probably missed out on
when they were babies, like a little lick from their moum.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
There's foul.

Speaker 9 (26:08):
It's not because I deeplyed them.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
I't seriously worried about footballs.

Speaker 9 (26:13):
No, no, no, I don't do it that often, just when
my husband's not looking.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Do you get a hairy tongue?

Speaker 7 (26:18):
No, I do it underneath. So that's how cats lick.
They do it underneath, not the top, not like that under.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
You're locking the belly.

Speaker 9 (26:25):
No no, no, they're head but under my tongue. Oh my god,
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
I just saw a David Edinburgh documentary and that's like
how cats lick.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
You're very talented with your tongue. I don't know how
to do that.

Speaker 9 (26:37):
I can do a caterpillar tongue.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Also, don't tar David Edinburgh with that brush. Okay. At
no point in his illustrious one hundred year career did
he tell anybody to lick their foster cat.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
No, no, yeah, no, I actually think it's kind of cat.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Look you go over time, you will go to further
and further lengths for your pets, because, like Caitlin said,
they are part of the family and I am not
immune to the either. We where we live, we've got
a nice, big backyard you would call a cat's litter
box dream because she could pull a peet anywhere, but
she refuses to. She only wants to go indoor toilets.

(27:13):
So now we have this and my wife's grossed out
by regular cat litter trays. So now we have this
preposterous self draining letter tray which has you've got to
put pea pads in it. But the peapads you can
only buy on Amazon, so you have to have them
imported from another country just so my cat can piss inside.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
That's ridiculous pet outside for a few nights, it'll have
to go.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Do you think and you say that, you say that
like you would do that, you would not, and an
alternative world, do you think the cats would actually care
that much about it? There's some stat that says that
if you died and you were dead in the house
and nobody came to get you that your cat would

(27:59):
start eating you with them three days there was no
one there to feed the cat, the cat would start
eating you with them three days.

Speaker 9 (28:08):
My cats greet me at the door every night. They're
like little dogs.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
But that he's home, I know. But that's what we're saying,
is that they pretend.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
That I'm literally training my cats to be on a
harness so we can walk them.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Oh god, what have we become? We want to know
this afternoon. The links that you've gone to for a pit,
what are you doing for your socially awkward dogs?

Speaker 3 (28:30):
What about those people that have to drain.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Of the bucklandland that's pretty regular. Yeah, that's not even
that out there for an animal.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Well, I think that's going above and beyond that.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
It's podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
We're talking about extreme links that you go to for
your animal. I don't even think the example is that extreme,
but it's weird. However, it would deter Burglars. We're talking
about the people who got a life sized human mannequin
for their dog to get anxiety separation anxiety. So when
they go out, it can bond with the mannequin.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
And ask it for treats, and they probably won't give treats.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
He there would be probably a version where you could
have a little camera in its face and then you
could talk through the mannequin using your phone from wherever
you are.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
We do love our animals. They are part of the fun,
we really do.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
So we want to know the extreme links that you've
gone to before we get to Hannah. Ella has been
called out for licking her foster cats to remind them
of their mother. A lot of people are telling Ella
she needs to get something called a licky brush.

Speaker 9 (29:36):
Okay, I'll google it.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Which is as a brush that you put in your
mouth and then you drag it over the cat as
if you are.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Looking at So actually there's quite a few ticks. So
actually a lot of people do this too, Alie, you're
not the only one that.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Don't say a lot.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
There's three okay, hey, three more than I thought there
would be in the world.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
There could be three people in the.

Speaker 9 (29:56):
Whole country for bonding. It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Hannah's here, Hi, what's the extreme length that you went
to for your cat? Is it a cat? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (30:06):
It was a cat. I like it, but I do
think it's kind of sweet.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
She's a cat. What did you do our cat.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
Broke his leg and he was confined to a dog right,
So every day it was like treats ice cubes in
the water bowl. He had a fan running twenty four
to seven and a hot water bottle twice a day.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
How long was the cat and the dog crate with
the broken leg for?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
About?

Speaker 6 (30:27):
I think twelve weeks?

Speaker 8 (30:29):
For a really long time.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Wow, you did hot water bottles twice a day.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, it was the only way he would be comfortable
because he had like a really long cut with like
multiple switches and steady.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Did he have to be in the dog crate so
the other cats wouldn't attack him?

Speaker 12 (30:45):
Well?

Speaker 6 (30:45):
Yeah, he had a plate put on his leg so
the bone had to heal over it.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Hannah, how much money did you spend on this cat
that broke its leg?

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Well? I actually moved into the house after he was there,
so I didn't I didn't contribute the other flat mates.
There was five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Whoa, and how's the cat now?

Speaker 8 (31:04):
He's great?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Okay, cool, Hannay. You're such a good nurs looking after
the cat.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Yeah, got to look after the babies exactly.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
We asked you, what's the extreme lengths you went to
for an animal. Anthony text in and said, I found
a frog that my dog was barking at, and now
the frog lives in a big terrarium in my lounge,
and her name is Kevin.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
I love that. Another tick, Kevin the female frog. Yeah,
they're works. I love frogs go back and forth gender? Really,
I think that I just said, know this from her
little random fact animal book.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Oh yeah, am I right about that?

Speaker 9 (31:43):
I haven't gone that to that that frogs gender.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
And frog just google caned frogs change gender?

Speaker 3 (31:49):
I love it when people name animals after they can't.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
They can't switch the gender or six back and forth
as adults, so some species can experience a one time
six reversal tagpoles stage, that's what you're thinking, right, Okay,
and sea horses the males carry the Okay.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
I hope I only get canceled for mis gendering trans frogs.
But it was a well intentioned. Okay.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
A text that came through was I love camping and
always take my dog, so I bought him his own
doggie sleeping bag.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Our producer Claudia did that.

Speaker 8 (32:24):
Oh so cute.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Your dog got a sleeping bag, doesn't he?

Speaker 8 (32:27):
He does?

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Do they like it. I would have feel like they're
big fill although we're confined in there.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, he does like it, but I kind of unzip
it and basically use it like a blanket instead of
like a sleeping bag.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Do they have leg holes?

Speaker 8 (32:39):
No, it's like an actual like human sleeping bag. It's
got that like head hood part and then the zip
that goes all the way around see on the inside.
It's nice.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Now do you make him wash his pause before he
gets in the sleep? He always has washed paws, absolutely,
but also I wouldn't mind if he didn't.

Speaker 8 (32:55):
We can do whatever he wants.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Someone said, my dog actually gets warm goat milk and
tuck a time dog musically for breakfast every day, warm
goat's milk.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
How do you get like, Well, I mean, I know
you can get goat's milk, but do you think they
have a goat fresh from the goat.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Maybe another one. My dog's getting outdoor heater in the
garage so they stay warm on cold days. That's kind
of nice, But most pep would have just chucked a
blanket and the dog wouldn't they.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yeah, my cat that I had sleeps outside at my parents'
house exactly.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
And this one feels extreme. I leave the heat pump
on when my cat is home alone. Oh, your cat
has a fur coat.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
On your cat? My dog had abdominal surgery, wouldn't eat,
so I had to pure a wheat cat food and
the neutral bullet and feed her through a syringe. Never
looked at the neutribullet the same again.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, yeah, that's the cat's neutral bullet.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Now, don't be smeak cleaning your smoothies after that.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Oh, good on you. They bring us a lot of joy,
the animals. So good on you.

Speaker 2 (34:00):

That's the rest. When you buzz and could give it away,
I'm sure, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah, you know see, So what you're saying is that
needs to be patient.

Maybe, but it's so hard because what if I.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
It's okay, here's another song, Kaitlynkitler Ebba Walma looking I forget.

the way, she's over jazz.

fifty KFC chicken dollars. Congrats.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, sorry, Kelson.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
I think you deserve to win that.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
I think I just need a cut, like I just
come straight. I know too.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Jazzed plays Briankland, Big Short and Street News is shortened
Street getting the Chop because at the moment it's funding
has done every year, which is hard for them because
they're like, oh my god, are we going to be
around next year?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Are we all going to have jobs next year?

Speaker 3 (38:22):
It's so sad because it was every single night of
the week. It was, and then they cut it down.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
To three went down to three nights, thinking, surety can't
before I give you the results, surely can't go. No,
it can't go. It has given us so many important
cultural moments like.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
This anything it's too dangerous. Not if you know what
you're doing, you're not in gatemothera now, Dr Ruberter, which.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
You can't say in the hospital these days? Can you
know you wouldn't get away these days? Would you can't
say this either?

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Please tell me that is not your penis? Sometime because
he's the doctor, he should know what the penis is. Well, yeah,
but there was about his son is he is? Michael
Govin still on it? He's still on it. Yeah. Sometimes
I really want to answer the phone and say.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Street, Someone's like help, I'm bleeding out, and you're like,
oh no, but can you sit?

Speaker 3 (39:16):
You get my joke?

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Do you get the joke about Shorton Street? Well, it's
not Dilly Delhi around? Shall we is Shorten Street getting canceled?

Speaker 10 (39:25):
Not?

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Shorton Street's funding has been secured for twenty twenty seven.
The government has confirmed twenty three million dollars to fund
Shorten Street next year. Even better than that, it's going
back up to four nights a week. Oh it was five.
Came down to three. People like we need more short
and streets.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
Back up to four. Shorten Street was a big part
of my childhood growing up. We would watch it every night.
We got some amazing and we still have amazing actresses
and actors that have come out of that show and
talking about really important things as well.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yes, that's one of the reasons the government it is
because it's meant to be like a mirror to modern
day in New Zealand. It's meant to represent the cultural
makeup of the country, the important conversations that are happening,
and also the people that want to sleep with Michael Galvin.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
You know he's going to be on there until it's
no longer, isn't he.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well, who knows?

Speaker 3 (40:21):
And I hope.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
So we put a pole up today asking do you
guys still watch Shorty because I don't no, and I
haven't watched it for a long time. But I was
a big Shorty who was saying that they're getting a
lot of Shorten Street on their TikTok these days.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
Me there's like a lesbian love affair at the moment,
so you're kind.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Of keeping up with Shorty via TikTok.

Speaker 7 (40:40):
Yeah, and I was just saying to the girls, I'm
kind of keen to keep watching.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Watch the actual episodes or watch the tiki tooks.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Well, this love story has got me invested. I remember
going and seeing the seat of Shorten Streit when I
used to work here, and it blew my mind. It
was so exciting.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
At South Pacific Pictures in Henderson, Yes.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
They take things very seriously, and it's it's it's a
well run wild machine.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
It is. They have to pump out so much. They
just get it done. It's almost like you don't get
a second take. You do your thing and you're like,
oh can I do that again, and they're like no,
got to move on. I remember when I moved to
Auckland and realized there is a Shortland Street in the CBD,
which is not where. Shortland Street is just over there
where we are. It's just over there, no relation.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
I remember we once got a text a really really
serious person. I think they actually called in when we
had Michael Galvin on the show when I used to
work here, and they said, what is Chris doing doing
some stupid silly interview. He's got a hospital to run exactly,
And I said, you're right, and I said, you need

(41:47):
to get back to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Ell are We asked people, are you still watching Shorty?
It's on our Instagram story. You can still vote. What
are the results look like?

Speaker 9 (41:55):
One percent? No?

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Never?

Speaker 7 (41:57):
Oh yes, so yes, eleven percent okay, and then eight
percent sometimes there you go, yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Okay, Well, I think it's important that we still have it.

Speaker 7 (42:10):
Maybe they need to add a demagorgan or something like crazy.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Yeah. Hey, if it's been on Shure, it's probably been
on short.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
They had a volcano come up underneath the hospital.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
The cliffhangers they get yet Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Tdms Bree and Clint podcast.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
You're a big book girly, aren't you. We found out
earlier in the week that you like to run to
murder books.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Thrillers, anything that kind of gets me a bit scared. Yah,
takes you run up faster. Yeah. And I also just listen.
I realize I have to have always something, have something
listening in my ears, and it doesn't cut it for now.
I need to be like in and out of something
to listen to Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
So you're on the audio boox and produced. Claudia found
this clip.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
I was heating with some book girls last night and
they listened to audiobooks on two point two five times speed.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
I was like, two point two five speed? Do you
up the speed at all?

Speaker 3 (43:06):
I have never up the speed? But hang on, So
what's normal speed?

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Zero?

Speaker 3 (43:09):
One, one, two point two five?

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Yeah? I sometimes because I've got quite a long commute.
But if I really want to get to the end
of a podcast, sometimes I'll crank it up to one
point five. Yeah, but I find that my brain can't
keep up. I find that I'm missing all the details.
Will be fast, and particularly if it's meant to be funny,
you lose all the timing.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Do you want to hear what a book sounds like
on two point two five? So work if we Claudie
has got pride and prejudice for us?

Speaker 3 (43:36):
Oh, okay, okay, this is what it.

Speaker 1 (43:37):

Speaker 11 (43:40):
It's a truth universityknowledge the a single man in possion
of good fortue must be one of a wife, how
wet little none feelings of he was such a man
needy on his first entry inboard. This truth is so
well fixed in the minds of surrounding families, but he's
considered as the rightful property of some one or other
of adulters. My damn st Bendet sad his leader to
him one day, have you heard that nether Field Park
isn't at a dust? Which a mand replying that the

the PITTI enough way. You must know what miss Long says.
Never fether was taken by young man large tatn. He

Speaker 3 (44:13):
We hang on a minute, though. I'm gonna be a
bit controversial here. I could I could get on board
of that.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
So would your brain adjust? I guess is what you
need to figure out it's.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
The annoying voice like. It makes a voice sound really
high pitched.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
It makes you sound quite chip monkey, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
But I understood everything that was going on.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Claudia has also pitched the Brilliant Clinton Podcast up to
two point two God and is this maybe this is
the future of this show.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah, this is an option for us.

Speaker 8 (44:40):
It could actually have this full time if you if.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
You like it at two point twenty five, this four
hour radio show could be done in an hour and
a half.

Speaker 8 (44:46):
Oh dream.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
As well.

Speaker 14 (44:51):
This is what it would sound LIKEKYA should all on
some question. Why you think shoud answer the question? Does
it tell you something about yourself? I'm sure it'll reveal
personality trakers. It goes to the core of who you
ares a person. This question of kake, SOI you want
which could you throw further again unread again?

Speaker 3 (45:02):
I think it's a lovely great questions.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
I agree. Don't want to think very carefull about your answer,
because tomorrow we will be doing this. Whichever one youth
to lickt needs to be one that you throw for it.
Tomorrow we will all throw a git in an undread
and you can find out.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
Your where were gonna find any agins.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
You kind of sound a.

Speaker 8 (45:16):
Bit like mad clan, like, oh, no surgery clan before
I surgery.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
No, but you kind of sound like you've got somewhere
to be and you're not mucking around with us.

Speaker 9 (45:29):
Yeah's packing up as he's speaking.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
It just feels, Yeah, it feels so rush like it
takes all the joy out of that. Is reading a
book or listening to a book meant to be like
coming and me time, and it's meant to be like
slow down.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Don't tell some of my friends Yeah, but sometimes I
sweed up their voice messages because I'm like, yeah, girl,
I do want to hear about your day back, Like
where are you getting with it? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Bit, I want to voice message, not a podcast.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Clint.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Caitlin's filling in on her birthday. Birthday, Caitlin, thank you.
When we're the wedding vibes off. That's the question we
want to ask. There's a Berg story today about two
rich celebrities who are running a give a Little page
for their wedding. They're not household names, these celebrities, but
I know who they are. One is Annelyin McCord. She

(46:22):
was on remember the show Nip Tuck oh yeah, she
was on Nip Tuck. She's probably best known for being
in the twenty tens version of nine oh two zero.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
She played Naomi and then the other guy's Danny Cipriani,
who was a professional rugby player. He played rugby for England.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
I'm sorry they are asking guests to do it. Do
they know what give a Little?

Speaker 1 (46:46):
As usually they're not asking guests. They're asking Rando's to
contribute to their wedding. They're asking their fans slash followers
to contribute to that.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Okay, that's not the purpose of Give a Little, No,
it's for charity.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yeah, I think it's I think it's like a wedding
version of Give a Little. Google says that these people,
Anne Lynn and Denny Cipriani are worth US eight million
dollars and so they are getting quite big backlash at
asking people to pay for their wedding, particularly people who

(47:30):
will not be invited.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
To the wedding. That's embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
The only thing more embarrassing would be if you gave
them some money.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
I think, yeah, I want to know how it's going.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
They wrote, gift any amount, contribute to our journey, help
us create our dream wedding and honeymoon experience.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
With any amount of donation, they don't deserve to have
a wedding.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Would you like to wha shots by? Do you want
to hear some of the suggested donations?

Speaker 3 (47:56):
No, I really don't like them already.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Okay, well you're going to hear them anyway. You can
get them US eighteen hundred dollars for photography services. You
can gift them US eight hundred and seventy five dollars
for reception music, or you can gift one thousand, two
hundred US dollars towards the floral arrangements for the wedding.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
I think that you should actually gift DJ Clunt.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
I should give them a free DJs.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
I think that I think these poor people need our help.
I think, do you know what I should give myself
to marry them? I could be the celebrat we have.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Louis Davis on the show later on from TikTok. He's
coming on about his new book. He's also a registered
wedding Celebrate Money like you and I remember a couple
of years ago he did this thing through his TikTok
where he tried to give away a whole wedding. He said,
get around me with whatever service you've got, whether you're
a florist, caterer or whatever, and let's put together a

(48:54):
free wedding for someone. I don't know if it ever happened,
because I offered to be the DJ and then I
never heard anything.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
I chose someone else.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Are off, vibes off and they did not have a
goddamn wishing well at the wedding as well, imagine and.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Then oxtend I'd be like, thank you to everyone that
were able to make this happen. Don't have a wedding
if you can't afford it. You pay for your wedding.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
It's your wedding. If you want it in that way,
then I don't think it. Don't have a wedding if
you can't afford it, it's have the wedding you can afford.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
You can afford, That's what I mean. Like, don't Yeah,
if you're poor, no winding, no sorry this you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
We want to know when the wedding vibes are off.
Wedding that you were invited to or that you attended
and you were like this.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Is there will be lots of I feel like there's
always like some funo drama.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Fino drama is a big one. Maybe your brother or
sister was like, Yeah, the wedding is in Spain.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
And the wedding is about me, and I'm wearing a
white gown with a veil, or like the mother in law.
There's always some kind of there's always something going on.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Who's the person in the white gown with the veil?
Because is it the bride? Because the wedding is about them?

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Yeah? No, I'm saying like if someone like a guests
comes in a white dress, Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah,
you can't do that.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
You'll know what we mean. What was the wedding where
the vibes were just a bit off and something about
this just feels a bit a key Oh, one hundred
dollars at him. You can text it to nine six,
nine six, and we can keep you anonymous if we
need to.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
There's some girls.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Yeah it means brand Colins.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
So we asked when were the vibes off at the
wedding that you attended. Some good messages coming through on this.
Someone said they went to a friend's wedding and when
it got to the cutting of the cake, but they
cut straight through the bride and groom that were on
the top of the cake. Oh the marriage didn't last
a year. Oh do you think they drinxed it?

Speaker 3 (50:52):
I don't think you're supposed to do that. That's that's
we take home. That's we keep saying.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Yeah, yeah, I wonder who who was guiding the knife.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
The mother in law, the waste, the mother.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Yeah, the wife just like cuts the husband's head off
and is like, oops, we just we literally just got married.
When we the vibes off at the wedding, someone said
I was married to my beautiful wife and Sonny Nelson
in twenty sixteen, and our wedding celebrant wore a white
lacy dress with a similar pattern to my wife's dress.

(51:23):
So many people were angry about it. Rightly, so absolutely,
because the celebrant is quite often in the photos. It's
hard to avoid the celebrant when you're getting the photos,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
Don't even start me on the celebrant not moving out
for the kiss.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
So Caitlyn is a registered celebrant. Yeah, what is the
code of conduct there?

Speaker 3 (51:45):
So well, I have known this from the start, and
it's funny when people come up to me and They're like, oh,
will you move out for our custom light? Sweetie, this
is my this is what I do. So I say,
it gives me great pleasure to now pronounce your husband
and wife. And as I walk off to the size, yeah,
and then I say you may now, Cassau.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
You also have that lovely camouflage outfit.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
That you wear.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
I do wear a full army and you how do
you balance trying to look nice but also not trying
to look too nice at the front, Like, what is
the dress code for a celebrant?

Speaker 3 (52:17):
I have just a bunch that I put on rotation. Yeah,
and it's usually like a blazer. I find out what
the bridal party's wearing so I don't match them.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
And then it's you know, usually appropriate to put you know,
the legs and the boobs away.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
God, you're a pro.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
I am a real pro. The pack the legs and
the boobs away for the day, leave them in the car.
And you do wear a heel because it's a wedding,
it's a nice day. Usually time I hear up because
it's usually Wendy. I will never live down what happened
and when when the vibes are off on this wedding
that I went to. Actually the vibes were fine, but
I stood up there. It was my first same six marriage.

(52:53):
These two beautiful, beautiful women. They were both nurses actually okay,
And I stood up there, and the whole way through,
I was like, I've got it, you know, my wife,
my wife, and you know, because I'm so used to
saying husband wife. And got all the way through to
the end and I got up there and I was
so proud of myself, and I just said, I now
pronounce your husband and wife. And they they both turned

(53:17):
around and just laughed so hard, and there is this
beautiful picture of it all laughing. I wanted to die.
I wanted the ground to create a swallow me out.
They thought it was so funny.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Yeah, but good that again. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
They're like, now get out of our photo so we
can passion. They're like, can we have our money back?
We asked for the time the vibes were off at
the wedding. Someone ticked in and said, my friend, I
was at my friend's wedding and the best man was
running a sweep steak for how long the marriage would
last At the wedding, No he's either in love with

(53:55):
her or he's in love with her yeah, mm hmm.
And he's trying to do some subtle sabotage from inside
the wedding.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
There's lots of funo drama.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Lots of funo drama. I actually attended a wedding of
someone that you and I both know, Yeah, and it
was their first wedding, and the mother of the groom
got up and said to him, in front of everybody
at the wedding, make sure you always know where the
money is. Do not take your eye off the money.

(54:27):
This was in her speech at the wedding.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
So speeches can go one way or the other. A like,
you've got who did you have doing speeches at your wedding?
Uh um? We while ago?

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Yeah, while you have speech? Were my parents? Y? My
best friend? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (54:47):
Nice? Yeah, And you kind of just say, like, right,
you limit that, yeah, yeah, don't go through my childhood,
don't you know.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
Most the celebrant got my friend's name wrong at his
own wedding.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
That happens.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
The celebrate got my grandma's name wrong at her funeral.
That was a big one. They're just going through that
over and over too. And I was like God, please
make it stop. Oh no, yeah, all right, ribs are

Someone else sticks in and said the saying you were
looking for is age before beauty.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
I've never been very good with sayings.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
It's not a nice saying that one. That's what you
do when you hold the hold the door open for
someone who's older than you.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
I see.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Where you're saying that they are older than you and.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
They must go first in case they fall over and die.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Now, anyway, careful, you're thirty six.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Now I know it's it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
AM's Brilling Clint Podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
We've had our Nick's guest and studio as a content
creator with Hediman here as a celebrity Treasure Island contestant,
but never before as a published author until now. Welcome
to the show. Louis Davis published author, Don't.

Speaker 12 (01:00:29):
Look It for Hotus. His mild kids always didn't keep
that English Yit DHD. You know is that there's a book.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Are you got a spelling are you good?

Speaker 5 (01:00:37):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Have you got good handwriting?

Speaker 12 (01:00:39):
No, it's it's a crazy, crazy thing to hold it,
hold it in my hands, and it exists. I'm actually
really proud of it, which which they actually not didn't
actually come when I wrote it. It came when I
read the audiobook and I said my words and said
like that was really special.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
I cried a lot.

Speaker 12 (01:00:54):
That was a buzzy experience because the sounds didn't really
care that like I'd be like real emotion and be like,
oh hey, can you just say that again?

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Lawie? It reads really really well. I've only managed to
read a couple of the first chapters, but I didn't
want to put it down. So congratulations.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
The book is called The Modern Dad. I haven't read
it because I'm still reading I am Pilgrim. It's taken
me twelve months so far. But your book is next. Okay,
tell me. Is it a guide to parenting or is
it your experience as a dad? Where does this book?

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Yeah? So it's first of all.

Speaker 12 (01:01:26):
It's like a story of my experience growing up with
the most incredible parents. You know, I had a dad
who never had a dad but was incredible for me,
my mother and all the things that I learned from them. Yeah,
and explores some of the most tough stuff that I've
gone through in my life and stuff I've never talked
about and I never had the courage or the kaha
to express because they never felt like things I was

(01:01:48):
on the other side of, or I've overcome with some
kind of lesson I never felt. I just felt scared.
This hear it online and it's in the books. I'm
really nervous for people to read it. It's a really
raw human exploration of I guess, the brokenness of me.
And then it also offers us some really hopeful thoughts
around what the future could.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Be like for our kids.

Speaker 12 (01:02:09):
And then the thing I'm most proud about, it's a
love letter to my wife and my kids and and
my Moko Puna. One day.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
That's beautiful. Brie is away at the moment. She has
just had her Yeah, congrats brief first baby, a little
boy named Toto. What is your number one piece of
parenting advice for Brie and anyone who is just becoming
a new parent.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Oh, that is so hard.

Speaker 12 (01:02:31):
The first is that I think one of the most
powerful things that you can do for your kid is
just be interested in them. So that is like listening
to them explain their favorite Pokemon, that is listening to
the Kendrick Lama song they Love, you know, letting them
debrief their game or the sports game, or like letting
your son smash you at FIFA or the other control.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
If you take an.

Speaker 12 (01:02:52):
Interest in your kids, man, what it tells your child
from a young age is that I matter, My ideas matter,
and for me, I know that the confidence I have
to face the world and be seen by many people
come from the belief that my parents from younger se
just thought I was wonderful. They loved me to bits.
You know, my mother caused me a scrumpcious muffin.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Even now.

Speaker 12 (01:03:16):
My dad put in me that if you stuff it up,
you can say sorry and you can make it right
move forward. If you have those two things, you know
you can face the world with so much courage and
so yeah, taking an interest.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
That's pretty sound advice. I think celebrity Treasure Island. We're
going to talk about that. You almost went all the way.
Oh so got it? You're my guy who's yeah, I
know it just got announced that it's coming back for
another season.

Speaker 12 (01:03:38):
Celebrity Treasure. I was so powerful other people experience. I've
always wanted you to go on it like I want
you to do it. I want you to do it.
Verse three, I want you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
To do against it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
That's quite good.

Speaker 12 (01:03:48):
My dream one is right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Versus left politicians.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
That's my dream.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
Ctiver all right wing, all left wing. Yeah yeah yeah,
lux and verse chippy yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that is good.
