You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZDM's Brian Clint, the podcast. Ellie Harwood's been filling in for the week, and it's time to put it to the test with Friday Oakey. Ladies and gentlemen, Brean Clint's Friday Okey. Yeah! Our singing challenge where we go head to head,

normally it makes sense because both Clint and I, notoriously bad singers. You're not bad. Look, definitely wouldn't be putting it on my CV. You, however, you're just one of those naturally gifted people. I mean, I know how to pitch, all right. Like, I...

You have perfect pitch, don't lie. Stop trying to downplay it. It's not bad, you know. It's in my blood, you know. I was just born with this voice. And I've done, not really done any training. It's just sort of came to me, you know? I listen to it.

Hey, I'm so excited to hear yours, someone who can actually sing in this segment, which will be a nice change of pace. This week we've decided to sing a classic from Madonna. Hung up after she took out best artists at the VMAs this week. She sure did. And like I said earlier in the week, I didn't even know she'd release music. But good on her, you know. You're never too old.

No, that's not the right thing to say, is it? That was quite patronising from you. See, look, here's how it's going to work. I'm definitely going to go first because I don't want to follow yours. That would be an absolute mistake. So I'm going to go first. So we both have spent 15 minutes with an audio engineer who has done his best with mine. Didn't have to try very much with yours.

And then you'll get to hear both and then we'll vote on 0800 dial ZM. I will go first. Okay, because that's a good decision for me. Good luck, Bree. So here's my Friday Oki for the week. Madonna hung up. Let's go. And the words of Bree Thomasel, that was pretty good.

I'm actually pretty happy with that. Yeah, that was really good. Because a lot of weeks, I'd be very embarrassed to sit across from you. But I feel like I did okay. You did. You actually did really well. It was great. It would have went all right at a Friday at a karaoke night at an RSA.

It definitely would have. You know? It would have. Well done. A few chardonnays. I'm so excited to hear yours. Oh, no. This is going to be good.

I feel like it's appropriate. Are we ready? Ellie Harwood, here's your Friday Oakey, Madonna, hung up. Let's go. Madonna, is that you? Shit, you killed it. You bloody killed it. You were still great, honestly, though.

You were. Don't patronise me. I know how good yours is and how mediocre mine is. Did you hear my harmonics? I was like, God, why does it sound so much like the original? Oh, harmonies. Yeah, Sam, the audio producer, didn't even ask me to do a harmony. He goes, I think we just let this one go through to the keeper, right?

No, good work, good work. Hey, a lot of fun. So nice to have someone who can sing on this segment. Honestly, what a treat for everyone. That was fun. That was very fun, actually. We would love you to text through your feedback on 9-696. and also you need to vote.

Yes. I'm going to be shocked at who's going to take it out this week. Now, you never know. People might support you, you know? Who had it? Let's all be real. Let's all just be honest with ourselves. 0800 dial Z-M.

We'd love you to have your say on Friday Oki. Who's got it? Me or Ellie? Sorry, I think it's pronounced Madonna. ZDM's Bree and Clint podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, Bree and Glens, Friday.

I just want to read out this text. It might be one of the most brutal texts I've ever got in Friday Oki. Oh no. It says, Bree, an amazing effort. You surprised me how good you were considering your talking voice. Oh, holy hell. Oh, that just ripped me to shreds. I love it.

I love it. The more brutal, the better. If you missed it, my Friday Oakey sounded like this. You only get a little bit. I only a little bit there. And Ellie sounded like this. So, thank you God. Holy smoke.

Okay, let's go to the phones. I wonder what's going to happen. Okay, let's see. Let's talk to Kate first. Hi, Kate. Hey, how's it going? Good, Kate. What did you think of our Madonna's this week?

I'm so sorry, Bree, but that auto tune was really helping you out. I'm talking about it. That was no auto tune, Kate. Hey, thanks, Kate. I appreciate your vote. You're welcome. I would have voted the same way, Kate. Thanks for your call.

Let's talk to Emily. Hi, Emily. Hi. How old are you, Emily? I'm 27. Sorry, Emily. Cute voice. You sound not a day over 21.

I'm a principal teacher, so I often sound younger than I am. Oh, I love that. You're going to love that as you get into your 30s, Trust me. Yep. Emily, thoughts and feelings. I would really like to give you a pity vote free. Just always that that is literally, like I listen to Friday O-D, almost every single Friday.

Yes. And that has got to be at least in your top three. You reckon? I agree. That would be really good. It was. God, I wish Clint was here because I probably would have won. Yeah.

No way to think of top there. So you're going to get it. Give me your vote. Yay! Emily, appreciate you, mate. Thank you. Oh, nice, Emily. Look at Ellie getting excited for me because I got a pity vote.

Yeah, you've got a vote, darling. Well done. All right, let's talk to Arlene. Hi, Arlene. Hi. What did you think about Madonna's this week, Arlene? Yeah, one definitely wasn't a Madonna, I have to say. You need to hang the mic up.

You've been terminally replaced. You know what? I bloody agree with you, Arlene. I knew it was covered. How good's Ellie, though? How bloody good is she? She was awesome. It was a great job, Ellie.

Well done. Oh, thank you, Arlene. I appreciate your vote. Are you voting for Ellie or? I'm absolutely voting for Ellie. Just thought I checked. Thanks, Arlene. We appreciate your call.

All right. One more to seal it. Let's talk to Wayne. Hi, Wayne. Hello, how you're doing? Good. Oh, Wayne. You know, I've been better.

Yeah, I can tell. Yeah. Bree, I'm supposed to be the deciding vote, but there's no deciding vote about it. Ellie was going the whole way. Yeah. Can she come back next Friday as well? Mate. She can do my Friday, Oki's from now on, and she can take on Clint.

Yeah. Yeah. We could secretly replace. Yeah. Secretly. We'll win every week. Hey, thanks, Wayne. That means you get the replay, Ellie.

You've taken it out. The privilege of the replay. Oh, this is the four one. You want the whole thing? No, I'm just going to go. Hang on. This one. Honestly, it's so nice to celebrate your friends and their talents.

And you truly, like one of my favorite things is I always ask you to sing. Like when you're at my house, I'm always like, Ellie, sing me, sing me wicked or Ellie, sing me this. So it was so nice to hear you get in the booth this week. Thank you. It was very fun. Thank you for having me. And, Brie, I do want to end on the fact that you did do really well. Like, I do need to let you know that that was amazing.
