The Trady's sitting on 76, ladies,

Unlucky, Dominic.
Charles and the boys, can we getting up the was?
Up the was.
Oh, he's like fancy, boys.
The world was on the edge of their seats for a big Spice Girls announcement overnight, weren't they?
They posted.
Bree's Furious.
I'm so angry.
They posted.
No one asked them to.
They posted.
The Spice Girls account.
The official Spice Girls Instagram account.
None of them individually posted.
Did they?
Did we check that?
I'm pretty sure they didn't.
They didn't.
But it was the iconic staircase from the wannabe music video.
and it just said, it had a date on it, which was today.
It was like something's coming.
It worked out to be 1am New Zealand time.
And all of us went ballistic thinking a world tour, it's happening,
or something else big is happening.
I know people who said an alarm and got up at 1am to see the announcement live.
It was a big deal.
And the Splice Girls have officially announced a CD singles collection,
a new 14 disc disc.
box set on CD with coloured vinyl to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their album, Spice.
It might be the most lackluster 30th anniversary that Spice Girl fans could have hoped for.
Like, are they serious or are they toying with us?
It's more than disappointing.
It's infuriating.
My wife, Lucy, who's a huge Spice Girls fan.
Malaf said...
Was she furious?
She said, I hope they come with a CD player.
Yeah, where are we going to listen to that?
My car doesn't even have a CD player anymore.
It's the ultimate build-ups.
Because you've got people excited.
And when brands or acts do this, they are,
there's a term for this in the industry, actually,
they're burning social capital.
They're burning goodwill.
Because they used your longing for Spice Girls News,
real Spice Girls News, to get you excited.
And what did they give you?
A shit sandwich.
Yep.
I said yesterday, I was like, if that's what it is.
Because Claudia called it.
Producer Claudia, she called it.
She said she saw it in the URL, didn't you, Claude?
Yeah, I big-brained it.
There was an email newsletter and I clicked through and it literally said, like, yeah, boxette singles.
They forgot to hide it from the HTTP URL.
I'm so angry at them.
Some of the top comments on the post.
What was the vibe in the comment section?
Guys, this could have been an email.
Ain't that's true
Well, this is not what we want
What we really, really want
So
Negotiating with my husband
About the price cap
Of what I could spend
On Spice Girls tickets
Was for nothing
Imagine you've got in a fight with your partner
And you're like
Well, you spend all that money
Going to the Football World Cup
This is my football World Cup
I hate you, you never let me do anything
and then there's not even a tour.
You're like, well, that was all for nothing.
And my favourite comment as the Spice Girls make a big deal
out of announcing a 14-disc CD set anniversary of their album Spice,
do these women know that we have Spotify?
We've got them all.
I've still got a lot of my Spice Girls CDs.
Yeah, exactly.
And I never listen to them because it's in-com.
It's convenient.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Come on.
It's garbage.
It's so bad.
Anyway, it's either we have to wait or you spice girls fans just have to accept that it's never going to happen.
Because if it didn't happen for the 30th anniversary, it ain't ever going to happen.
It's probably never going to happen.
God, we just need to have another Olympic Games in London.
Yeah.
That reunited the girls.
They all got back together for that.
Or an Olympic Games in Dubai because they'll have enough.
money to be able to afford the Spice Girls.
Yep. And we all know Victoria Beckham. She loved money.
And Dubai.
There is, Franklin.
The T. Live from L.A. with Dean McAfee.
Dean, what's this? What's this? We hear about Harry Stiles, maybe retiring.
Okay, everyone is in a total flap today. Let me just give you all. Everyone calm down.
If you're at work, don't quit.
I will not calm down, Dean.
Don't quit.
We already had the awful.
Spice Girls are now, it's been, and now this.
So here's what happened.
So he's basically done a post saying how he's added extra shows to his global tour in 2027.
Two of those shows are going to be at the Hollywood Bowl with Kylie Minogue opening.
I am absolutely.
He gets it.
He just gets it, doesn't he?
Amazing.
He just gets it.
He just gets it.
So he's actually said his post, like, basically, you know, some more tours.
I love playing music.
I love being with you all.
That's why I've added.
some dates for next year and basically I don't know what the future holds is what he basically
said to kind of paraphrase. He said after that I don't know what comes next to me but I know
that I'm excited to find out. Now everyone is reading between the lines they're like does this
mean he's retiring? What does that mean? I genuinely do not believe that he's retiring.
I think that he'll be exhausted after the tour as they always are but they get a taste.
It's not an easy thing to just leave behind when you're on stage being screamed with millions of fans
and all that love.
So I don't think he's retiring.
I think he just means...
Yeah.
That's emotional terrorism, that language, though.
I don't know what's next for me
makes it sounds like he has a terminal disease.
You know?
Yeah, I don't know what's next for me,
but I'm excited to find out what the next chapter brings.
He's very ominous.
Also, I saw a post-Dain,
because you mentioned that he has Kylie Minogue opening for him.
I saw someone say,
this is like Beyonce opening for Somba.
It should be the other way around.
Pretty icon.
show, you get two for one icons.
I mean, you've got to be happy with that.
It's like when Lady Gaga opened for the Pussy Get Dolls.
Everyone still talks about that to this day, don't they?
No disrespect to Harry.
We love Harry, obviously.
But it's Kylie Freak and Mono.
What's some goddamn respect.
Who's opening for Bruno when he comes to New Zealand?
That's a great question.
It's, no, it's Anderson Pack.
And Anderson Pack's doing a DJ set,
and then he's coming out and doing,
because he's got a DJ persona
and then he comes out and does Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars.
It's going to be huge.
That's the tea with Dean McCarthy.
He's our Hollywood correspondent.
Z.D.N.S. Brain Clint.
Big weekend for you and I, Clint.
We are competing in our second annual
charity football match.
That's right.
On Sunday to raise money for MS.
Auckland.
And a part of the event is getting sponsors
to sponsor you to compete in the match
and we've already done a couple.
We've got some amazing sponsors.
But there's one more that we couldn't let pass by
who wanted to chip in, donate to MS Auckland.
And that was you, Lisa.
Hi, Bree.
How are you?
Good, thank you, mate.
Look, you text us and you were like,
I'd love to donate.
I'd love to get a jingle made for my business,
which is called Closed by Porsche.
And essentially, you hand...
You handmaid, you handmake all the clothes on your website for dogs, right?
Yeah, all clothes and bandanas and bows.
And I do custom orders.
I've done tuxedoes.
I've done ballerina dresses.
Dog tuxedos.
Amazing.
Now, Porsche is the dog, isn't it?
Porsche.
Yes.
So clothes by Porsche, in my mind,
Porsche's sitting at a sewing machine making the clothes.
Same, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's really talented.
Yeah, good.
That's a really ambidextrous dog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a fantastic business
It's all handmade right here in New Zealand
And we couldn't let you
The opportunity pass us by
Without making you a jingle as well, Lisa
Thank you
Are you ready for this?
This is a custom jingle for Closed by Porsche
I don't know what your stock levels are like yesterday
Next best thing, the pillow people yesterday
They had a crazy rush on their website
After their jingle played on ZM
So we're just checking
Are you ready, Lisa?
Well, I am, but Porsche's just recovering
from cruciate surgery, so I don't know if she'll be
after so much. Oh no. You're
going to have to step in for her, Lease.
I will. I hope to do some work for a change.
Well, without further ado, Lisa,
here it is the official
Bree and Clint Jingle for Clothes by Porsche.
Is your dog tired of walking around the
neighbourhood looking, well,
naked? Look at that dog's nipples.
Closed by Porsche has you
or should I say your dog
covered. A wide range of
The bandan, sweaters, coats all handmade right here in NZ.
But don't just take our word for it.
Here's some testimonies from our happy customers.
My bum has never been set for.
Clothes by Porsche.
Forget about it.
They're positively perfect.
Clothes by Porsche, give your dog a little flare.
They've got sweaters, coats and huddies to cover the dairy air.
Close by Porsche, make all the dogies fiss.
Now the other pops are dressing them up.
Whoa, that dog's got riz.
Close by Porsche.com.n.z.
There you go, Lease.
What do you reckon?
It was bloody brilliant.
I love it.
Whoa, that dog's got ruse.
Hey, Lease, thank you so much for donating.
It is such a great cause, MS Auckland.
Your business is what it's all about.
You're a local business.
You do it all yourself.
And we're happy to give you air time on the Bree and Clean Show.
You're amazing.
Thanks, guys.
And good luck for Sunday.
You've got to kill it.
Yeah, thank you.
If it doesn't kill us.
We need all the luck we got.
Can you run me through your skincare routine?
Sure.
What are you putting on your face?
So in the shower, I use a cleanser.
Okay.
And then I use a moisturizer.
Okay.
And if it's the more.
If I've got some, I use a sunscreen moisturizer.
Good.
And if it's nighttime, I use a non-synscreen moisturizer.
God, that's elaborate.
How do you remember all those steps?
Hey, at least you've got two steps.
Yeah, it's a two-steper, isn't it?
It's better than nothing.
Yeah.
There's data out today that according to industry researchers,
68% of Gen Z men use regular facial skin care products.
Okay, that's good.
Which is up from 2022, it was 42% of men.
And now it's up to 68%.
So that includes just using moisturiser, right?
Just washing your face and putting some moisturiser on.
It's interesting.
I believe it does.
Yeah.
But they reckon a lot of Gen Z men have multiple.
steps in their skincare routine.
Do I have multiple? I do have multiple.
You do. You have two. You've got two. You've got two. If you only washed your face,
then you wouldn't, you'd have one. Thank God you put on a moisturiser.
Yeah. I'm all for it. I think go for it. If the men want to get into the skin care,
why not? Yeah. It makes you feel nice. What am I missing from my skincare routine, Bree?
You could add a vitamin C, like to brighten your skin up. Why? What's wrong with my skin?
No, nothing. It's great.
But like that would...
You saying I look dull?
Well, no.
Okay.
You don't look dull.
Moistriser, you already do that, which is good.
An eye cream.
Okay.
Wouldn't go astray?
Yeah.
Which is just not, you know, kind of...
It's because the skin under your eyes is very sensitive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, you don't want to put a normal kind of moisturiser.
Okay.
You put an eye cream there.
You could go some retinal if you want to, you know, deal with those fine lines.
Fine. You reckon they're fine?
Yeah.
I reckon they're deeply entrenched lines.
I reckon you got like fine lines.
I think your skin's beautiful.
You've got beautiful skin.
Thanks, Brie.
That'd be a five-step skincare routine.
Yeah.
Nothing too crazy.
Yeah.
But I mean, I think you're doing,
if you had to really
bare bones it,
I feel like you're doing the correct ones.
If there's any men's skin care companies
listening right now, can I give you
my million dollar idea?
What is the idea?
Two and one.
Cleanzer Moistreiser.
Okay?
If you can reduce the steps for the fellas, they're going to do it.
If you can find me a cleanser that is also my moisturiser and I only have to do one.
You know what you should do?
Boom.
And put some vitamin C in there.
Here is my hot tip for the men.
If you're not moisturising, then you need to get an oil-based cleanser.
Because a cleanser draws all of the moisture out of your skin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you're washing your skin.
Obviously, yeah.
If you get an oil-based cleanser, you're kind of moisturising.
Do you know what I've got?
A charcoal cleanser.
I do.
It's black.
Okay.
It's black.
And why did you go for that one?
It just sounded like it would work better.
So the power of charcoal.
You talk about drawing up impurities.
Do you use it on your teeth as well?
No, I haven't seen that, though.
I could never bring myself to do that.
Oh no.
But put it on your face, though.
Easy.
My recommendation from a New Zealand company,
It's called Aleph, get the cleanser because it's an oil basin, you'll feel moisturised.
If you only want to do one step.
Yeah, right.
And my recommendation, the charcoal one?
Don't just use regular barbecue charcoal, okay?
It has to be a charcoal cleanser.
Sure, I'm glad you clarified that.
I'm sure they could get a charcoal moisturiser.
I'm sure they would make it for people like you.
Yeah.
Me too simple.
You just need to simplify the process.
Just put it all into one bottle.
Put it all in one.
And hope for the best.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If we can wash our hair with it too and use it as a body wash, boom.
Great.
Chuck it in the gym bag.
I've come up with it.
I know.
I know what we're doing.
Yeah.
Shampoo.
Yeah.
Cleanser.
Uh-huh.
Body wash.
Moisturiser.
Yeah.
That's what we need.
All in one.
Deodorant.
If you can get the deodorant in there, even better.
Tooth paste.
Oh, toothpaste.
Oh.
Add that in
and now we're really cooking.
Seven and one.
Can you imagine it sells out?
Instantly.
The men are so dumb though.
Like we are so dumb.
Do you remember when Lynx put out that body wash
that they said could cure hangovers?
Oh yeah.
It was called,
I saw someone had a bottle of it.
They've got like a archive of old Lynx body washers
because that's something that a man would have.
And he's got it.
It's called Lynx anti-hangover.
It's like radioactive green.
and I bought it.
Is this the one that is like hot?
No, it's like...
Because that one you should not put on your private.
It's very fragrant.
I would describe the scent as invigorating.
Okay.
Now that was the bit that was meant to cure your hangover.
Right.
You're meant to like experience it in the shower and be like,
whew, I'm back.
I am awake.
I'm awake.
I'm ready to go round two.
Okay, if we can add that in to our seven in one.
It's an eight and one now, yeah.
Hangover.
It's a billion dollar idea.
Electrolize.
Boom.
Creatine.
Protein.
Protein.
Protein.
Protein moisturiser.
As you're washing your hair and moisturiser.
We're going to be so freaking rich.
This is unbelievable.
The ZDM Podcast Network.
I came across some interesting audio that I think we need to implement today on our show.
Take a listen.
I dare you to walk up to your boss and ask them to leave work and go drink margaritas.
What's the worst that could happen?
I mean, I have.
to kind of agree with him
what is the worst that could happen.
The worst is he could say no.
They say no and then we all move on with our lives.
Unless you have a history of like
being drunk on the job, in which case the worst could be
strike three. Yeah, written mourning.
Yeah. Okay, well look, in that circumstance,
let's not do that.
What we have done before the show
is we have each
at different times decided to call our boss Marty
and ask him the simple question
can we leave early
because we want to drink margaritas
Claudia was first
Marty speaking
Hey Marty it's Claudia how you going
Oh good thank you what's going on
I just want to check is it okay if I leave early today
Yeah aren't you guys doing Ella's thing
Yeah I just wanted to go drink margaritas
Is that okay?
Oh yeah sure
I guess if Friday's calling
What kind of early are we talking?
Oh, like, just like a little bit early.
Like quarter to seven or?
Oh, like maybe like a little bit earlier than that probably.
I just want to drink margaritas, you know?
Okay, sure.
Should I come in and see you?
Oh, yeah, you could have.
No, it's fine.
Thanks, Marty.
All right, good to catch up.
See you, bye.
Should I come in and see you?
40 is like, oh, yeah.
No, please don't.
He was good about it, though.
Please, he was all right, yeah.
Then Bree decided to call about 45 seconds.
later.
Marty speaking.
Hi Marty, it's Brie.
Oh, good-day, Bree.
How are you?
Good, Marty.
Hey, quick one for you.
Don't want to take up too much of your time.
Do you mind if I leave early today?
Is that with Claudia, maybe?
Oh, is Claudia leaving early?
Well, she just kind of talking about margaritas.
Is there something going on in that?
Great, crazy coincidence.
I haven't spoken to Claudia,
but I was wanting to leave early
because I just want to go drink margaritas.
Is that all good with you?
Oh, I guess if I'm allowing Claudia to do it, then it would be unfair not to allow you to do it.
You're a legend, mate.
I love how you fare across the board.
Appreciate that.
I'll see you on Monday.
Yeah, hey, yeah, okay.
See you, Marty, boy.
Okay.
I backed him into a corner.
You can't be dishing out one rule for one staff member and not the other.
Then the special last day girl, producer Ella, called Marty.
Hello, Marty speaking.
Hey, hey, Marty.
Do you have a quick second?
Yeah, what's going on, Ella?
I just would like to leave early today.
I'm sorry to ask.
Well, it's your last day, so I guess, yeah, just, yeah, who am I to hold you back?
Oh, thank you.
I really want margaritas.
I know that's quite unprofessional, but they're calling my name.
Yeah, I always had my suspicion that you kind of had a secret love for margaritas.
So I think Claudia and Brie might be doing a similar thing, so maybe just connect with them and see if, yeah.
Are they?
I got to go.
Sorry, sorry, I've got to go.
Thank you.
All right.
I know it's unprofessional, but I want marguerwitas.
What is that?
I can say that word, professional.
So you're your baby voice asking for your margawitas.
Can I please have some margwitas?
Queen Maddie.
I just want to margawita.
One person left.
Hello, Marty's speaking.
Marty, it's Clint.
Oh, good-day, mate.
How you're done?
Not good.
I can't come in.
Oh, shit.
Well, I kind of need you at work because I've just had quadia.
I've had seven margaritas.
Oh, bad news, though.
I feel like it's better that I'm not there.
I know you need me.
I don't think I can do it today.
Who's going to do the show?
It sounds like a you problem.
I'll see on Monday, okay?
I'll know.
I've let everyone go, damn it.
All right, well, I'll get in there and do the show.
Another margarita, please.
Not sure if you guys noticed, but re-suggested we do it.
We got four yeses, guys.
And that is a binding contract.
We have the audio to prove it.
How early is early?
I think we could leave now.
Do we go now?
We do these somber tickets and then piss off.
That's a great idea.
Let's give away some somber tickets.
If you are still at your desk,
pick up that phone.
Pick it up.
Make the call to the boss.
Let us know how you go.
The question is, can I leave early?
And then if they ask why?
Because I want to drink margaritas.
I want margaritas.
Duh.
It's simple.
It's Z&M's Breed.
and Clint podcast.
It's also Ella's last day.
Let's play the one second song challenge.
Who's all stop the moon?
What the hell?
Bree and Clint's one second song challenge.
Ella, on your last day, would you like to play the one second song challenge?
Huh, yeah.
Who do you want to play against?
Bree or me?
I want to play against Clint.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you Clintie.
Take him down, Ella.
All right.
Well, we've got a teammate for you.
You'll be playing with Christina.
Hi, Christina.
Hi, Christina.
Hi, how are you?
You originally had Bree.
Now you have Ella playing with you to win you the KFC.
How do you feel about that?
Oh, awesome.
Good.
I think you should.
I reckon Ella's going to be far better than me, Christina.
Try my best.
We'll see how we go, eh?
And Rosie and I will be working together.
Hi, Rosie.
Jolda.
Claudia, you're in charge?
Sure am.
Christina, you're going to be stoked because the theme today is Ella's favorite artist.
Shut up.
Oh.
So the way this game works is I'm going to start a song right from the beginning.
I need you to buzz in and tell me the name of that artist and the name of their song.
First team to three points takes home the win.
Ella's favourite artist.
I've already got a couple of them in my mind.
Sure you do.
Ella and Clint, you guys are going first.
Oh, now you think you're so mysterious, Ella.
You have no idea.
Ripped me thrown out, Ella.
Clint, I wish you luck.
Thank you.
Clint and Ella, this is for you.
Clint.
Brutal.
It's Lola Young Missy.
That one.
Sorry.
Just do what I do.
Sorry, it was Foresham Haber.
And just buzz in before the song even starts.
It's okay.
Just let him get one.
That's right.
Christina, you've got to pull up the team here.
That was rude of me.
Yeah, that was unnecessary.
Sorry.
No, I don't want you to be going easy.
No.
We don't do petty points around here.
That is one point for Team Clint.
So Christina and Rose.
this is for you.
Oh.
Christina.
Yes.
I missed the name of the song, sorry.
What was it?
Pink space.
Yes.
Yes.
She heard that Christina.
Can we call you X, Dina?
Because they're dirty.
All right.
Back to me and you, Ella.
Yeah, ready.
Ella.
Wait, take a guess.
What is it?
Burns of a feather, Billy Irish.
It literally is amazing
I can't even be mad about that
Oh my God
What the hell
That was a step
I was crazy
I knew it was going to be in there somewhere
But that was unreal
Took a stab
Whoa, am I magic?
Am I God?
Wow
You might be
Okay that is two points for team Ella
So Christina if you get this one
You will take home the win
So Rosie you got to be hot on your buzzer
Okay
Okay here it is
Christina.
Christina for the win.
Watermelon sugar by Harry Stoll.
It's not watermelon sugar but it hurts Harry Stiles.
Rosie, you can steal it.
Can I change it?
No, not until Rosie has a guess.
American girls by Harry Stub.
No, no.
Back to Christina.
Christina.
Adore you.
Yeah.
She's done it.
You've been producer Ella.
A lovely send-off win.
Well done, Christina. You get 15 KMC chicken dollars.
Thank you so much.
Rosie, we were cooked. As soon as Ella got that one blind, we were cooked.
Call back and play next week, Rosie. You need a redemption round, I feel.
That was unbelievable. Ella, well done.
Go on, Ella, see if you can guess the last one.
Who else do I like?
Somber?
Did she ruin it?
It's not somber.
You are?
I'll guess her.
Last one, blind.
Olivia Rodriguez.
Can I have a guess?
Sure.
Is it, is it, is it,
is it, um, oh no, you've already put Billy Elish in there?
I was going to say, is it Charlie XEX?
These are all great answers.
None of these.
Who else do I like?
You else, wait, we can figure this out.
The other songbub.
Oh, this is more of a letdown than when he bought Benny out.
A ZM's Brinklin podcast.
We need to talk about.
that's still a lefty.
Too much.
This is her, obviously.
Her song, Boston.
She has been in the headlines
so many times in the past couple of weeks.
Constantly, for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately.
First, there was a story that went around
about her being a Nepo baby
because her dad's a billionaire.
That's right.
Which doesn't really connect.
But I understand what people were saying.
People didn't realize.
that her dad was the founder of Groupon.
Oh, okay.
You can become a billionaire from launching Groupon?
Apparently.
Groupon is like grab one here in New Zealand, doesn't it?
Yeah, it's like coupons for different things that you can go and experience and whatnot.
Anyway, the big story that is gaining traction now, though,
is that a lot of her songs sound very similar to a lot of other artists' songs.
Right, okay. I'm aware of the big one.
Yes, which is obviously her song Boston.
Sounding like Noah Kahn's stick season.
So much so that Noah Kahn's people reached out to her people and was like, hey, this song sounds very similar to Noah Kahn's song and she gave him a writing credit.
She did.
She had to, what's the word,
retrospectively credit Noah Kahn for the song.
People are now noticing other similarities.
That can happen, by the way.
That can happen.
Yeah.
But you can be influenced by a song subliminally, subconsciously.
I feel like someone at your record label should say something.
Well, here's the thing is that she said,
oh, I don't, I didn't, you know, take inspiration from Noah Kahn's stick season,
but then had posted very publicly about how,
Noah Kahn's stick season was her favorite song ever.
Yeah, right.
And she covered the song and, like, posted about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, anyway, kind of shot herself in the foot there.
Let's talk about some of the other similarities.
People are now putting two and two together with the Stella Lefty song.
So there's this song of hers called Misery.
For me, I've never heard that song, but I was like, God, that sounds like something I've heard.
Yeah, it's familiar this song.
Isn't it?
But I've never heard this song.
And it might be, for me, for me,
to this song A Million Dreams from the Greatest Showman.
Crazy.
Oh, wow.
It's almost identical.
It's almost produced the same way.
Let's do Stella Lefji's song again.
Okay, that's outrageous.
It's bad, isn't it?
That's a real bad one.
Okay.
Stella Lefty, her other song, 7-Eleven.
Smokes in my car, but it's okay because I'll let it.
Ring any bells?
No.
What if I play this?
No.
I have a dream about her.
She rings my bill.
Oh.
Yeah.
Quite similar.
These are all the stilly left.
And almost similar in theming, too.
Quite, yes.
With the lyrics and the content of the song.
Okay.
These are all the steli.
Lester Lefty songs that people are saying sound like other songs.
There's more. Oh, there's more.
Stella Lefty's song, Why Wouldn't we?
Saying strikes a resemblance to the Blake Shelton song, I'll name the dogs.
Yep.
Yeah, that's...
Like, I'm not a musical person.
But even we can hear it.
But even I can hear that.
So if you know about music, then...
One more.
This is the one that is most recently come out.
It's the stellar lefty song, Summer You Were Mine.
People are saying, reminds them of the chicks.
There's your trouble.
This is what people are saying, right,
because obviously all of us sitting here can hear.
We can hear the similarities in all of those songs.
People are now saying, is it because she's using AI?
Oh.
And AI has to draw on something that already exists.
Exactly.
So is that the reason why there is so many similarities in her songs?
If that's the case, that's even worse.
Yeah.
I think.
Blatently copying.
Yeah, then going, then at least going, well, I just copied the artists I love.
I think it's worse to put it into AI.
Someone else texted and said,
guys, did you know she's being called Stella Thifty?
I did see that.
Stella Thifty.
She's going to have to say something.
Someone's going to have to issue some kind of statement
or at least copy a statement that someone else has put out before.
I'm sure AI can write one.
No, that's mean, that's mean.
That greatest showman one is outrageous.
One more time, the greatest showman.
So sell empty misery.
The greatest showman.
I mean, not going to lie, I like quite like both.
Play Zatim's Bree and Clint.
Ladies and gentlemen, Brean Clint's Friday Oakey.
The low line of your Friday returns.
It's Friday Oaky where we cover a song and you pick the winner.
Today to celebrate our somber ticket blitz,
we're doing somber, and we have a double pass to somber.
for grabs if you vote.
That's correct.
You can either text through
9696 or you can
call through on 0800 dials in
but you have to hear them first.
You can't vote until you hear them, okay?
The song we will be covering
is Somba's home record.
And what we have learned
is Somba's signature sound
it's all harmonies.
It's like, I'm not even exaggerating
and I reckon there's seven harmonies in this song.
It's outrageous.
Maybe more.
But you better believe we gave it a go.
I didn't even know that you could do seven types of harmonies.
I'll rock you off for who's going first, okay?
Rock paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock paper scissors shoot.
All right.
I'll go first.
Then you'll hear breeze.
And then if you vote, you could score free somber tickets.
Can I go on the record?
I reckon you're going to have a Ripper this week.
Oh, okay.
I have a feeling.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'll take that confidence.
Then I'll run with it.
Here's my somber.
Our road like a drunk cigarette
The field
Oh yeah
This man
With you there always can be
That was you
And you did it
And you
And you sang it
Yeah and it's over
That was yours
Yeah it's me
Someone said home wrecker
More like ear wrecker
Someone I like
The text that just goes
Good God
Harmonies did Clint dirty
Harmony's hard, man
And if that's how your sound
I have no hope
Why does Clint sound like a child on SingStar?
All right, that's mine
Mine is out there now
This is not going to be good
Now you need to hear Breeze
I am so sorry in advance
I'm quite excited
Especially because mine's done now
Yeah, because it'll take the head off of yours
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can't vote for sure until you've heard Breeze
and here it comes
Like a drunk cigarette
The feeling
Well done
Oh
Ella you're finishing up today
Are you going to miss this
Are you going to miss this each week?
It's your favourite part of the week
Isn't it?
I'm always going to miss this
I'm going to tune in as a listener
Holy moly
It is crazy how every week it gets worse
No
I feel like we do have peaks and troughs
Yeah you do
This week was a tross
I mean free
You've got my vote
I'll just say that.
What?
What?
That's a win for me.
So does it Brie hit like a drunk cigarette soaked in myths?
I like how literally I was not even singing that part.
It was like, oh, you hit like a drunk cigarette.
Bree sounds like the BGs crossed with a dying flat cat.
That is a compliment.
Half BGs, I'll take it.
We need your votes.
0,800,000.
There's be five people brave enough.
to phone through and vote.
And if you vote on the text machine as well,
that will also put you in the drawer
for our free Somba double pass
on our Somba ticket Blitz Day.
It sure will.
Oh, 800 dials at M right now.
Brie, someone said,
Bree, that was almost palpable.
Someone goes, I vote for Sombree.
I'll take that.
We're back with a winner,
straight after Somba,
the way it's meant to sound.
ZM with Bre and Clint.
Z&M's Brie and Clint podcast.
Five double passes to Somba.
that we're giving away today on the Brian Clint show.
One of them is going to go to someone who voted in our Somba Friday Oki.
Super Friday Oki!
And man, it was good.
We need to reward people after sitting through that.
The song was the reward, okay? The performance was the reward.
You people have been treated.
Uh-huh.
You don't understand.
To a musical smack.
I understand how lucky you guys are.
We did home wrecker.
Mine sounded like this.
And yes, those are.
all my harmonies in the background. You did them all.
It's not AI. And Bree sounded like
this. It's like there's
spirits in the background. They're meant to be harmonies, but it sounds like
haunting ghosts.
Both songs definitely sound haunted.
Yeah. So we need five people
to help us pick the winner of Friday Oakey
and maybe score themselves a double pass
to see Somba Live Spark Arena.
Emily has the first vote.
Hi, Emily. Hey.
Are you a somber fan?
Oh, a massive somber fan.
Can you know after those?
Maybe even more so.
Okay, good.
Well, you'll know.
You can appreciate how good he is.
Yeah, and you'll know, by comparison,
you'll know who did the better job, Em.
How are you going to vote for?
I'm actually voting for Clint because me and my five kids were all having such a laugh listening to it.
Holy smokes.
You and the five kids get it.
I knew you guys got it.
Like, I knew you knew.
Yeah, we did know.
I know.
Your kids get comedy, Emily.
They get it.
Thanks, M1-0. Let's go to Lisa on our 800 dial ZM.
Hi, Lease.
Hey, how are you guys?
Good, thanks.
What are your thoughts this week, Lease?
Look, guys, it was so tough, really, really tough.
Tough to listen to?
Yeah.
Me, my one-year-old was coming along to Bree, so it's just got to go to Bree this week.
I will take it, Lease.
Thank you very much.
We're tied up.
Jordan has vote number three.
Hi, Jordan.
Hi, Jordan.
Hey, guys.
What do you reckon, Jordan?
Any feedback for us?
I think it was really tough this week,
but I'm going to have to go with Clint.
I feel like it was potatoes, potatoes.
Or both potatoes, to be honest.
There was some scary harmonies in there for sure.
Big potato energy.
Thank you, Jordan.
I really appreciate that.
It's 2-1.
Is it going to tie up or is it all done?
Fran has a vote.
Hi, Fran.
Hi, yeah.
What do you reckon, Fran?
Are you going to hand Clint
the win? No, I think it's going to go to you. I think both of them had great harmonies,
but I just thought you had just a little something, something in there.
Hey, I appreciate you keeping me in it.
Great harmonies, you reckon, Fran.
Have you had your hearing tested recently?
No, maybe I should live in. Do you stick things in your ears, Fran?
Thank you. We appreciate you. We're tied up. We're going to a tiebreaker, and Holly has all of the power.
Hi, Holly.
Hi Holly.
Hello.
Now, I'm sorry, Clint, I really do think the producer did you dirty on that one.
It sounded like it wasn't you singing.
Yeah, it was definitely the producer's fault.
So what you were saying, Holly, is you could see through the production and hear the raw talent in my voice,
and that's why you're going to vote for me, right?
Not quite.
The reason I'm going to pick Bree is because I didn't know that the lyrics were drunk cigarette until I heard you sing them.
Is it because I spoke them and I did?
It took a thick Queensland accent for you to be able to understand Somba.
Just to be clear, you're voting for Brie?
I'm voting for Brie.
Hey, Holly, thank you very much.
And for voting in Friday, Oakey, you have won a double pass to see Somba.
Well done.
Oh, my goodness.
Thank you so much.
Spark Arena, in April, you're going to be there.
You've got someone in mine to take with you already?
Or maybe my son, he really wants to go over there.
Oh, yeah, that'd be great.
That'd be so cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Did he hear our sombers?
He didn't, but I will go and I wonder if I can play them back on.
Yeah, you should.
Yeah, yeah.
Because then he'll really appreciate the real thing.
Then he won't want to go.
Greenclint.
All I want from my birthday.
Birthday banger.
Let's go.
Birthday banger.
Number one songs when you turn 16, you call us.
Tell us your birthday.
We tell you your birthday banger.
Kayla's first.
Hi, Kayla.
Happy Friday.
Hi, Kayla.
Hi. Plans for the weekend, Kayla.
I am going to a boot sale with my granny.
Why does that sound like a made-up story?
It's like you were telling the police a fake story.
I was at home with my granny.
Definitely I'm not doing anything illegal.
All right, don't you, Kayla, what's your day of birth?
The 2nd of June 2002.
All right, that means you were.
16, Kayla in 2018.
And on that day, this was number one.
That's a real one of your reflection, without a follow, without a mission.
You're really piping up.
Drake, nice for what?
What do you reckon, Kayla?
Yeah, I like that song.
Yeah.
That's when the world was loving a bit of Drake.
Yeah, people went to Drake in 2018.
Well, yeah.
Big time.
Okay, wait there.
We'll do one for Molly.
Hi, Molly.
Hi, Molly.
Hi.
Hi.
Well, you heard correctly, it sure is.
What's plans for dinner?
Just going down to my parents to throw a wee cheeky takeaway, I think.
What kind of takeaway do you think you guys will get?
Probably just Friday sessionships.
Oh.
Oh, yeah, that sounds good.
That sounds nice.
Sounds lovely, Molly.
Mole, the birthday girl, what year were you born?
2000.
All right, that means you was 16, Molly, in the year 2016.
And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Chain smokers and Halsey closer
What do you reckon?
You like it?
I do.
That song was definitely all the range.
It was huge.
Massive.
Ten years old today, this song.
Is that?
Yeah.
Well, number one 10 years ago today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait there.
We've got another birthday girl on the phone.
Kiyara, Piki.
Hi, Piki.
Kiyah.
Another 9-11 baby.
Yes.
There you go.
What are you doing for dinner?
We're probably doing the same with Molly, doing the take-out, but maybe Indian.
Picky, you know what we wanted and you gave it to us.
You're not just doing that because of us, are you?
Picky, you were going to.
No.
Oh, mate.
I had no idea.
You know, you weren't aware of the birthday carry phenomenon?
No.
Or phenomenon, as we like to say.
Phenomenon.
Brilliant.
No, no joke.
You've made our day on your birthday, Pickey.
Now, let's do your birthday banger.
What year were you born?
I was 1974.
Okay.
Anything from here is a bonus, Picky.
But you were 16 in 1990, and we've done our calculations.
Here's your birthday banger.
Legends.
John Bon Jovi.
John Jovi.
Yeah.
Bon John Jovee.
Are you a fan, picky?
Well, yeah, I'm usually at R&B, but they're a lot.
That one rock.
What a throwback from 1990.
All right, Picky, the birthday girl.
Wait there.
We've got to choose between the chain smokers,
Drake and Bon Jovi.
Drake.
Drake.
Drake.
Drake.
Kayla, you've just won birthday banger.
Whoopoo!
Tell Nan we said hi.
And have a great weekend.
Wink.
Wink with Nan.
If that is, who you're hanging out with.
Yeah.
We find out she's actually passed away.
She doesn't even have a day in it anymore.
Kayla's a huge drug deal this weekend.
Yeah.
So if you see Kayla, you know what she's up to.
Watch out.
From 2018, here's Drake on Zid M, Brian Clint.
Something you ought to cut up to you.
ZD.N's Brinclent.
As he and a Spiro on Zid M with Brian Clince.
I've said everyone off in here.
You did!
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
We didn't even get started.
Oh, okay.
Okay. I hate this part. I hate it.
In this job, from time to time, you lose people who are very important to you.
Yeah.
Effectively, we've had to do it a couple of times in this job.
And it gets harder every time I feel.
One of those people is our producer Ella, who is finishing it with us today on the show.
Hi, Ella.
Hey.
Sorry.
Oh, we haven't even started, have we?
Ella started with us on this show four years ago.
Yeah.
She came to ZDM as an intern.
She was the world's first secret soundkeeper to live on site
because it was in the middle of the COVID lockdown
and so we had her living in a box outside the studio
for the secret sound.
And it sucked for you.
It was a hard job and you did it.
And you just gone from strength to strength from there.
And unfortunately you've got too good
and now you've got a better job so you're leaving.
Better, I don't, yeah, I'm excited.
But it's really hard to leave us.
It is time for the next chapter in your life.
Oh, shit.
Don't go.
Let's do the other stuff.
I've written my stuff down or else I'm just going to do it.
Ella's got some things she would like to say.
Yeah.
I think you say what you want to say and then Claudia's got something to play.
Why is Claudia sitting out there?
Claudia, your weirdo, come and sit in here with the rest of us.
God.
It's like the family's like all in the living room and Claudia is sitting in the dining room.
Oh, shape.
Okay, Ella, the floor is yours, okay?
Okay.
Well, I've written a little thing.
Okay.
I'll just read it and try not to cry.
So, thank you guys for the last four years for being patient with me as I came in green-eyed, freshly 21 years old.
Thank you for not kicking me out when I e-checked you guys on air on the podcast a couple weeks.
It was the first day she gave us feedback.
That was really bad at me.
It was pretty brutal feedback, too.
Oh, we don't need to talk about it.
But, no, I really feel like your first job after uni is, like, such a formative time.
And so five years at CDM and four years with you guys, it's just been an absolute dream come true.
I've learned so much.
You've allowed me to, guess, learn and make mistakes.
And I've learned to, like, share my own opinions and to have my own voice and to, like, critically think.
You know, we joke, and I'm a little bit dumb.
I didn't know magpie was a bird, but anyway.
You do now.
I do now.
And then I just wanted to say as well, Bree, I, I,
just love you. I love your humor. I love your creativity, your ability to not only make people
feel like to laugh, but to feel so comfortable in themselves and you just have that special
connection with people. And I instantly bonded with you straight away. And that was the biggest
quality I saw in you. People see you on TV and on the radio. And then you're just like a genuinely
cool person in real life. Thank you, Ella. And I'm so honored to call you that. Me too.
Clint, I'm not going to lie
when I first
started working here, I was a bit scared
of you.
But it turns out, I think I was
intimidated from that manner
you just ooze, you know?
You hold yourself so
well, you are like, you
are so strong and everything
you do, from being a parent to a
friend to your job, you know,
not everyone can do what you do.
You do the buttons, but you're also telling a
story, you're also reading text,
You're trying to make it funny all at once
and in an appropriate amount of time, right?
Before it's like songs.
Thank you.
Yeah, you nail it.
And I just love seeing you be a dad.
I don't know, something about it.
I love hearing about it.
And it just, it is a real joy to come to work and hear that.
That's enough.
I know you hate those.
Yeah, they'll do.
Thanks, Ella.
And then quickly, Claudia, this is a really hard goodbye.
We've sat next to each other literally for the last four years.
Every day.
Every day.
We've been highs, there's been lows.
There's been everything in between.
but you've become one of my closest friends.
I've learnt so much from you.
I'll miss our daily laughs and our chats
and my burping and farting in the room
and you yelling at me.
But it's genuinely, I feel like really sad,
but it's not a goodbye.
It's literally I'll see you soon.
You know?
It's going to be different.
But we're literally besties.
It's going to be okay.
But yeah, thanks guys.
I love everyone here.
Claudia has put something together for your last day.
And what are we calling this?
Ella's greatest hits?
Yeah, basically, yeah.
The life and times of Ella.
Hi, Ella.
Hey Ella.
Hey Ella.
Hey Ella.
Hey Ella.
Hey Ella.
Hey Ella.
Hey Ella.
Who's on you?
Your little flea.
Goodness, he's up my ass.
I'm going to get you.
You mother.
Oh.
Ella.
Oh, no, this is going to stunt me.
I love the song.
Viva Lidita.
Viva Lidita Coldplay.
No, no way.
No way.
No way, no, Viva La Dida.
Viva La Vida.
No!
You get it here?
This is it.
Yeah, yeah.
Viva La Viva.
She is Mr. Fantasy's long-lost daughter.
Hello.
Oh my gosh, Daddy Fantasy.
Me, your long-lost daughter.
If me and you can, like, reunite me.
Olive?
Yeah.
Clint's got two.
Oh, my goodness.
He's up my ass.
Oh my gosh, Soundkeeper Al.
Interns, Soundkeeper L.
What's that short for?
Internship.
No, your name.
Ella, did you know that one?
I knew people live in Egypt.
No, Ryan's uncle lives in Dubai.
That's not Egypt.
That's nowhere near Egypt.
Ella, are you there?
Yeah, I'm there.
Hi.
You're in the chocolate aisle?
It looks to be quite a shock surprise.
Instead it's going up and all I can see is a sale on a Widdaker's chocolate.
Me and myself and I are a gobsmack.
Chubbucka and the producers of both today.
I can actually do a good one.
Do you want to hear it?
Yeah, go.
Do you know what character we're talking about?
You're telling me that our mid-20s producer Ella may currently have a bigger brain than me.
I would say that's probably right, yes.
It's obvious, isn't it?
My witch, my Krasn, Kare.
Thank you.
You never asked my name.
Oh, my God.
It's my first swear word ever.
Am I going to get fired?
Dorail beep it.
You and me, Clint, producer Kloor, producer Ella.
We're a tight net fan.
We'll miss you.
And seen.
Good. Thank you.
Hand scene.
That's so, it sums up.
Like, it sums up how close our team is.
I've written a little something to send you off, Ella,
and if you will just let me read this out for you.
When Ella first started, she was a kid,
and somehow over the years,
we've had the absolute privilege of watching that kid
grow into this incredibly strong, kind, talented woman.
and we couldn't be proud of you and the person that you've grown into.
You have this real special energy about you.
You have the ability to walk into a room and somehow make it feel lighter.
You lift people up.
You make people feel seen, heard, valued and loved.
And I don't think you will even realize that you do that for people.
But you've done that especially for me on more than one occasion.
So I'm jealous of the next people that get to.
have you in their lives.
And I just want to raise a toast.
Here's to Ella, to everything that you've achieved here,
everything you are, and everything that's still ahead of you.
We love you.
That's really special.
Thank you, Bree.
We love you and we're going to miss you, Ella.
Oh, my God.
No more tears.
No more tears.
We go in the pub.
Yeah, more mud.
We're ready to.
No more tears.
