ZM's Bree & Clint - ZM's Bree & Clint – ICYMI: The Hootie & The Blowfish Saga

Episode Date: January 13, 2025

In case you missed it in 2024, or maybe you just want to relive the magic, Bree & Clint went through a very intense phase where they championed Hootie & The Blowfish in a saga we have dubbed as "Double Blowies". If you didn't love Hootie before, you will after this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

It's big news. Ross doesn't know about it. Yeah. But that doesn't matter. We did send an email, and as far as we're concerned, that gives us the go-ahead. Yeah, yeah. It's the big Hootie and the Blowfish special.

We've been talking about it for ages. We've been talking about it for ages. We've been talking about it for weeks. Hello, I've been with you. Our new marketing statement. Nobody plays more Hootie and the Blowfish than Brie and Clint. Yeah, no one blows more fish than the Brie and Clint show. Than us. You know, that's exclusively fish.

God, there's going to be some other radio stations that are going to be ropeable. Look, there's been a few radio stations recently that have stolen some ZM ideas. Yeah. There was one announced today. I don't reckon anyone's taking this one. Nah, that's because we are on the pulse of what our listeners want. Absolutely. And they want more Hootie and the Blowfish.

If we're right, make sure you text us on 9696 and say thanks, Bree and Clint, for the great Hootie and the Blowfish news. Yeah. Ross will be very excited to read those texts. God, it's going to be a good show. Let's see you steal this one, More FM. Oh, actually, they probably could.

No, please don't. Please don't. I think they actually, I think this is already their playlist. This is right in their wheelhouse. This is right in their wheelhouse. The best bets of ZDM's Bray and Clint. Time of hoodie and the blowfish. It's treaty versus lady.

Three, two, one, let's go. Let's do it. The ladies took out the win yesterday, but who will take it out today? The tradies on 75, the ladies on 81. Our tradie is calling from Hawke's Bay, the 34, and they are friends with tradie versus lady icon, Sausage Boy. Welcome to the show, Jessie. Hi, Jessie.

How's it going? Sausage Boy, known for losing multiple games of tradie versus lady. Are you going to change that here this afternoon? Oh, I hope so. Yeah. That's the plan. He's associated with but not representative of Sausage Boy. Why was he called Sausage Boy?

He had sausages for lunch every day. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Love sausage. You're taking on our lady from Auckland today, they're 37 and they have never had a Big Mac. Welcome to the show, Courtney. G'day, Courtney.

Hi. Whereabouts are you from? Auckland. Okay, never had a Big Mac. What about my particular favourite, a Zinger Burger? Oh no, not one of those either. You just haven't had anything, Courtney. Okay. Maybe if I win the money, I'll have to buy one.

Okay, good deal. Good deal. Jessie, your buzzer is tradie. Courtney, yours is lady. First three correct answers gets $50 cash. Good luck, guys. Here we go. Question number one.

A New Zealand icon went home last night on Celebrity Treasure Island. Can you name who it was or any other contestant from this season? Lady. I want to say Courtney just got in. Yeah. Sue Van Paul is a contestant. Nice work. Well done.

One to the ladies. Question number two. DeWalt, Ryobi and Milwaukee are all brands of what? Lady. Courtney. Power tools. Power tools. She is on fire. Jesse, it's not looking good for you and Sausage Boy.

Here we go, question number three. Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song. And just let her cry. Courtney. It's Hattie and the Blowfish. It's Hattie and the Blowfish. She's a lead.

Oh, she's a lead. I know why they call him Sausage Boy, because him and his friends all just... What? Choke on the sausage. Yeah. Yeah. He's bloody hung up.

Oh, he hung up. He didn't even stick around to congratulate Courtney. Courtney, you pantsed him that bad that he hung up. Love it. That was quite the showing. We apologise for Jessie's poor sportsmanship, but you are the champion of Tradie vs Lady, and we've got 50 bucks coming your way.

Thank you. Well done, Courtney. And to celebrate, we're going to play some Hootie and the Blowfish right now. No, it's up next. Oh, it's up next. Okay. See you at Eames, Bree and Clint. Yeah, it's up next. Oh, it's up next. Okay. The name's Bree and Clint. Yeah, baby, let's go.

Damn, we got our hoodie in the blowfish intro that we've been asking for. For at least three days. Oh, just a little taster. I like it. I like it. Just a little bit of flavour put in there by producer Claude. She's onto it. Just a little hootie.

She knows what makes us happy. The best bits of ZM's Brie and Clint. Brie and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Birthday bangers hopefully with a bit of a twist today. Has it been rigged? No. No. No.

We just asked for something very specific. We asked people born in either 1978 or 1979 to call. That's all we said. We didn't say what artists we were hoping to come up and we won't say what artists we're hoping to come up. No. We'll just see how it plays out. That's up to the birthday banger

I really don't. I don't think you will. It's never a bad thing to go back to back. You know, it's times like these you've got to default to your executive producer, you know, because. I think we leave it up to Claudia. The EP, come on. Claude, can we go back-to-back blowies? What do you reckon? Well, when you put it like
