He hosts the sports betting podcast, Bits and Dat. And here's what Charlie Falmoina said. What song would you walk out?

I've got no music. I don't even have Spotify on my phone, bro. Actually? So you don't listen to any music on your phone? Nah, nah bro. Favourite artist growing up? Nah, not really bro. He hated music. So you know before rugby began, like a big game, would you listen to music or nah?

Nah. Nah. People say I'm weird when I tell them I don't have a favourite colour. Charlie doesn't have a favourite musician. He's here to defend himself because we can't just slander the man like that and not give him a right of reply. So please welcome to the show Charlie Fomuena. G'day Charlie. Hey guys, thanks for having me.

Shocking statement from you. Wild. You just don't listen to music. Oh man, I enjoy listening to music. I just don't have a... I'm just not fussy when it comes to music and whatever's playing is playing and I'll listen to it. But I've never put much thought into an artist or a playlist.

So yeah, that was probably where I was coming to. When you said Charlie, that you don't have like music on your phone, like do you ever, if you're at home, think, oh, I'm going to put some music on for background or I want to listen to that particular song or artist that doesn't cross your mind? No, no that wouldn't cross my mind. What if you've cooked dinner for your partner and you want to set the mood?

What is it? Just silence? Oh, no, probably would be. He'll just be in my chat. What about one of the replays of the rugby? Oh yeah, you've got to have that on the background. of the rugby? You know, have that on in the background. You've always gotta have that on the background. Pop the 2015 final on maybe. That'll create the mood, I know that. I know it's normal to you, because it's you,

and like that's how you've always been. But when I said to the guys today Charlie, that you don't have Spotify, and that you just generally don't listen to music, people were shocked. Are you surprised at the reaction that this is getting? No, not probably to that extent. I just, yeah that was just the way I was and obviously there's probably a few other guys that were like me that would just obviously when everyone gets to a change room to prepare for a game, there's a few guys

with no music and just watching the boys do their thing, but yeah, I thought it was pretty normal. So like Charlie, let's just, on the record, if I ask you right now, favourite song, favourite artist, you don't have one? Nah, nah, I wouldn't. We'll give you, if we could give you free tickets to any concert.

Good question. And you had to choose an artist. We'll give you three seconds. Three, two, one. I'd probably be Drake or something like that. So he does have a favourite. Okay, all right, so you like Drake. That's just from most popular thing that's going around.

Yeah, right, okay. Yeah, just cause you're like, oh yeah, everyone else is going. We had a tip off from your friend Nate, who said, ask Charlie what his wedding song was Did you have no part in picking the wedding song? Yeah, that would have been my wife and she would have picked it in you don't know what your first dance was No

It's just whatever was on the radio at the time. Yeah, that seems to be the way I got it. That's why he's on a podcast and not a radio show because he hates all the music. He's like, can I do radio but without the music? Skip all that. We've got the format for you. Well, thanks for coming on. We appreciate it. We're going to get back to playing some songs now.

So you probably want to get out of here, right? Yeah, wait, I appreciate you guys having me on. It's a good little laugh. Oh good, it's a good podcast, Bets and Dat, if you want to check it out. Thank you, Charlie Farmoina. We wanted to ask, what's the thing that everyone except you does? Like, majority of people are doing the thing, but you're like, nah, not for me. Nah, it's not for me. I just don't do that thing. But everyone else, you're just not the sheep. You're like nah not for me. I just don't do that thing but everyone else you're just not the sheep you're like I'm not doing that.

Yeah 0800DIALSATEM or you can share yours to 9696 and we'll get it on the radio next. That is Brinclint. I want to know the thing that everybody else does except for you. Like our producer Claudia who doesn't have a TV. Yeah that's right. But she prides herself on it She loves it. Yeah, I just hate watching TV alone. It's a conversation stuff Interesting now you made it say like guys come and watch TV with me You know when you go to like open homes or you know that kind of thing if they don't have a TV in the living room

It's an automatic no from me, but they always take the TV out as if as if people don't watch TV. Yeah. They put a piece of ass up there. Guess what you're making this house unrelatable. Guess what I'm looking at this house wondering where the TV's gonna go. Yeah and you're making it into an elitist house. I'm trying to buy a nice place to watch TV. That's all I'm looking for. Put my crap in watch TV. Casey's here. Hi Casey. Hi Casey. Hi. What's the thing that everybody else does except for you? So I don't drink coffee. I've met people like you. I don't drink coffee either. I don't like coffee. Yeah. Oh you'll have a coffee though, Brie. Oh really? You know the thing that I hate about coffee, Casey? What's that? It makes me feel

scared. Really? When I drink coffee I'm like, I'm scared of something. That's so relatable. I'm scared. That's the third coffee for me. Yeah. That's the first one for me. I bet people say to you all the time, Casey, how do you wake up? Exactly. And answer the question, how do you wake up? Um, glass of water? Or juice? You're not a tea person, Casey? No, I'm not really a hot drink person.

Red Bull? I do the occasional like hot chocolate, but even just a, I don't even like the smell of coffee. Anything flavoured. What if you've had a rough night? What if you've had a rough night and you need some get up and go? Will you have a V? No. Really? God, you're quite the medical marvel, Casey. Yeah. You might be better than us. Listen to her, give herself kudos. She's like, honestly, I'm just as impressed as you guys. It's like the last of us.

We might have to cut you open and find out what it is that makes you better than us. She needs to be studied. Yeah, thanks Casey. We asked what's the thing that everybody does except for you. Someone said, I never, never, never got on board with the activewear trend.

What? They won't wear it. What do you mean? Like, do they mean for casual wearing? I guess. Maybe both. Or are they wearing cargo pants and jeans to go to the gym? There's plenty of people who don't go to the gym

who wear the activewear though. You know? There is this adorable man, and I reckon he's in his 70s that goes to my gym and I see him on the treadmill and he wears a full button-up shirt and like a little pair of cargo shorts and it's the cutest thing in the world. But I'm always like, I can't be that comfortable. You should shout him some lululemons.

Should I? I might. You know some of those ones that bunch up around the butt cheeks and they sort of go in and they give you the big juicy... A nice lift. Yeah. I'm 34 and I don't have any streaming services. I would watch them if I had them, but yeah, I just don't. So what are they watching? Can we gift that person a neon subscription Claudia? Yeah, can we hook them up with a neon subscription? Can we give them a free neon subscription and just see if they like it? Okay, just try them out. Claudia's like, I guess so.

Okay, Claudia, let me rephrase. We're giving them a neon subscription. That person's getting a neon subscription. Fine. What about this one? I don't check the weather. Oh yeah. That's interesting.

Who checks, do you check the weather? From time to time. Oh yeah. Yeah. Ella, you don't. Yeah, but you're. Who checks, do you check the weather? From time to time. Oh yeah. Yeah, Ella you don't, yeah but you're 11. Oh okay. Well yeah, I mucked up today because I'm wearing shorts and it's cold. I don't trust it.

That's my thing. Neither. You don't trust it? It's always wrong. You guys are gonna hate me for this. The only weather I check is apple weather. That's the worst one isn't it? That's the worst at not checking the weather. I think it's pretty accurate.

Apple weather, apple maps. Unlike others, I don't like chocolate flavoured things. No chocolate milkshake, no chocolate ice cream, no chocolate pudding. That's wild. But I do like real chocolate. Okay well I mean you know that's not all bad. What about this? I still buy my phone top up at the dairy. That is a throwback. I didn't know you could still do that. I didn't know you could still do that. I didn't know you could still do that either. I'm 30 and I've never watched The Warriors. All my mates go to the games. They even went to Magic Round in

Australia but it's not for me. How do you know you've never watched? Yeah maybe you'd really get into it. This is the season. Oh this is the season. Get on board. Although it's not if you get on board now, you'll just think that's what supporting the Warriors is like. It'll be unrealistic. Lots of Game of Thrones coming through. That's me and Bree as well. We never did that. Yeah.

Someone said, I feel like the only, I'm the only millennial I know that doesn't whiten my teeth. I don't whiten my teeth. Yeah, no, there's a few around. I just did a bush walking. Have you whiten my teeth? I don't whiten my teeth. Yeah, no there's a few around. I just did a bushwalking... Have you whiten your teeth? Yeah, not recently but I have before. Yeah. Yeah. I just did a bushwalk in Samoa, dying in the heat in my jeans but I still won't wear active wear. Is that that same person? Someone just texted and said... That person's so buzzy. Someone said, I've never said up the waz out loud.

Oh BS! Today's the day! Yeah, can we call that person? Claudia, can you call them now please? Can we call that person? It's urgent, can you call them now please? We need to get an opener made. We need to call them now.

First time up the waz. Yeah, we need to get them on now please Claudia. Someone else said... Their phone number is O. Don't do that. Someone said said I've never seen the Titanic. Well none of us have. No I've never seen it. It sank. Yeah when it's in the movie. Yeah. I don't think any person alive today has seen it. No they haven't. No. So that's that's a pretty common one. Claudia can we get the person on? Can we get them on?

Someone said I don't take photos when I go for a walk. Are people taking photos when they go for a walk? We're asking you what's the thing that everybody does except for you. Oh, we got them! Ricky's here. Hi, Ricky. Hi, Ricky. Hi guys, how are you? Good, thank you. You've never said what, Ricky?

I've never said... You've never said... What have you never said? ...what everyone says about the Warriors. What does everyone say about the Warriors? Up the line. Ahhhhh! What a moment.

That was too easy, Ricky. Also, long time listener, first time caller. When you thought it couldn't get any better. Technically you've never said that either. And she's also never been on the show. What a big day of firsts for you. Thanks Ricky have a great weekend. Up the wahs.

Thank you guys. Up the wahs Ricky. Up the wahs. No. She's done. One was good. ZM's Brian Clint. I'm the what? No. Oh. She's done. One, eh? One was good.

She's 29 and she's engaged to a man called Callum Turner. We were to get our Hollywood correspondent Dean McCarthy on the show to tell us who the hell is this guy? Is that who has the audacity to be engaged to do a leap?

I'm not shocking to anyone that they've been dating for a year and a half that seems quite quick It does especially when you do a leap. Oh, yeah, like a year and a half. She's not old at all She's 29. she's young. How old is he? Good question. We've seen our producer Claudia on a fact-finding mission about Callum Turner, the new fiance of Dua Lipa. What do we know so far, Claudia?

I've actually delegated to Ella, so she'll give you all the information. All right, we're crossing from Claudia to Ella. Ella, what information do we have on Callum Turner, the new fiance of Dua Lipa? He's 35 years old. He's apparently a British actor, which I actually didn't know about. And they first started romance rumours in January 2024. So yes, you're right. They haven't been dating for long. There's not too much, they're not very public with their romance.

So they're quite private in terms of like, shh. She's come out and said that she's confirmed the reports and said, yes, we're engaged. It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever is a really special feeling. We're all shocked, okay?

We're all shocked that Dua Lipa would choose to get married. We're just, we're blown away. I'm happy for her. They'll make cute babies too. They're both very cute. Callum Turner, the actor was in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Oh yes. Is that the Harry Potter thing? Yeah.

The spin-off. The prequel. He was in that Emma movie with, what's her name? Emma movie. Old What's Her Name from the Queen's Gambit? Anya Taylor-Joy. Oh she's so talented that girl. He was in The Boys in the Boat. She also said something else that she wants to finish her tour first.

And then get married. What didn't they just get engaged? Well yeah. I guess people are asking. When are you getting married? Just calm down. You know who was devastated? Our former producer Ben. Absolutely devastated that Dua Lipa is engaged.

So were you. Don't hide behind Ben's disappointment. Don't hide behind producer Ben being devastated that Dua Lipa's engaged. You were the same. You just seen Clint at lunch he almost was crying please respect my privacy at this hard time Will do Go and vote on the one hit wonders on our Instagram story right now we're shutting that one off just before 5 o'clock Have you ever forgot to invite someone important

to the event? Or are you saying that you forgot? You've just been busted for not inviting them. Now producer Claudia is having a birthday party this weekend. Hello Claudia. Hi. Hi Claude. Hey.

Shit, when is Claudia's birthday? Sunday. Oh, thank God. I thought we'd missed it. Imagine. Oh, I just had to- Haven't missed it. You know that wave yeah you get? Yeah. And you're like. Don't worry I would have spoken up. Yeah true she wouldn't have

let us forget it. Yeah but also you would have suggested this topic so that you could reveal to us on here that we'd forgotten your birthday. Anyone ever forgotten your birthday? Are you having a party this weekend? Sure am. Who's invited Claudia? Everyone. Everyone that I know and love is invited and I didn't forget anyone. Who got added to the invite list last minute yesterday afternoon Claudia? No it wasn't yesterday afternoon it was yesterday night. It was yesterday at 8.30 at night. It was Bree. But I swear I thought you were already in, I thought I'd added you. You were on the list and I don't know how that didn't translate into actually adding you into the group chat.

Can I just ask people who were included from the start, who Claudia does obviously care about, how long has that group chat been going for? Well I was invited on Sunday. Yeah same. So a week ago. Wow! And Clint's not even going. Well no I'm a TBC. Claudia's friend Sarah looked through the invite list and she's the one that noticed that you weren't invited and her words were why is Bree not invited? Even Clint's invited. Wow so he doesn't go to anything. Wasn't even you that noticed that you had forgotten me. She's like I didn't see Bri's name in the list and I was like no no no she's there and she's like she's definitely not. It's awkward now it's undoubtedly awkward and the question I

have for you Bri is are you gonna go now is it weird? No no way. Does it feel like a sympathy? Absolutely not. Not getting her a birthday present, not going to the party. You know what the worst part is is we talked Bri is, are you gonna go now? Is it weird? No, no way. Does it feel like a sympathy invite? Absolutely not. Not getting you a birthday present, not going to the party. You know what the worst part is, is we talked about it in front of you on Monday. Did you? We did. She didn't know what we were talking about because she wasn't invited. You know, if you go to the party, people will be going,

oh my God, I can't believe she actually came. Oh my God, I feel like I have such PTSD from school. Oh Bri. I want you there Bri. I used to not get invited to things. You're definitely, like I have a list of names that I did before I put it into the group chat. Your name is there.

Where's the list and you have to read out the list in the order that you wrote it. Okay, I've got my best friend Sarah and then I've got her partner and then our other friend Lana and then it goes Ella Bri Clint. Ha! Last. First! Last!

First! Sucker! You were second to last. I know! Babe, you're in better shape than me, at least you got added to the group chat. Be honest with us Claudia. Did you add Brie yesterday because someone else dropped out? No!

Not at all! Why'd your voice go? Is it like a wedding? Has she been called up from the B-list? Why does your voice go so high then? I don't know, it's just the truth. I always include you in all my things. Do you? Yeah. What things? I invited you over before laneways, I invited you to my house multiple times before like pre-party things before stuff. That's true and I've invited you to my house heaps of times just to hang out.

Have you? Yeah. I love- It's not even appreciated. No, it doesn't even appreciate it. Ella, have I or have I not? You were there. Yeah, we've been over a few times.

Yeah. Could be more, but we've been there. Could be more. We haven't been over to Cliffs at all. Hey, how many times have you invited me to your place? Do you wanna come over? See? Not to your mum's house.

This is what it is! Shut up! I'm not at my mum's anymore! We want to know on our 100 Dials at M this afternoon, who was the very important person that you forgot to invite to the big event? I'll give you an extreme example. Did you forget to invite the mother-in-law to the wedding? Like I doubt, I doubt that's even possible, but that would be an extreme example of this.

There is a storyline on the TV show Friends where they forget to invite Rachel's mum to Rachel's baby shower. Perfect example. I'll give you a real example. I wasn't invited to my own surprise party. They just didn't invite me. You didn't get invited to my own surprise party. They just didn't invite me. You didn't get invited to your own surprise party? No I got a call an hour into the party and they were like are you coming? And I was like to what? To what? That's so funny.

That's kind of the main job someone messed up. You couldn't even get an invite to your own surprise party? I'm a loser. The beauty is I don't know the things that I'm not invited to because they just happen and I never hear about them. It's your surprise party. We're asking, what's the thing you... Who's the person you forgot to invite to the important thing? Claudia forgot to invite Brie to her birthday party.

Can I just say, Claudia, you've ruined my week. Oh, what? And I thought we were friends and, nah, I'm just kidding. I gave you snacks yesterday, I thought that made up for it. Claudia messaged me, I think it was last night or the night before,

cause she added me to the group and clearly I was gonna know there was all these messages in there. And she sent me a message separately to the group and clearly I was gonna know there was all these messages in there and She sent me a message separately from the group saying hey, just so you know You were meant to be in the group from the start. I don't know what happened and what did I say back? You said you're not precious and it's fine. You weren't mad and I said, I know you love me Yes, you did. Yeah, and I do love you and I apologize. And then she said, well actually, I don't. It's awkward. It's tense. I didn't prove it.

And we want to know who's the other person that you forgot to invite to the thing. Katrina is here. Hi Katrina. Hi Kat. Hello guys. Was it you? You forgot to invite somebody? Yeah, well I had an engagement party and my partner said that I could invite whoever I wanted, whoever my partner, etc. and I forgot to invite my in-laws. You forgot to invite your partner's parents?

Yeah, so we live in Christchurch, they lived in Dunedin. Doing everything I possibly could, running around doing the engagement party, everybody, and then oopsie daisy. Big oopsie daisy. Can I back you up a bit here, Katrina? It's not your job to invite his parents. I mean, that's true. Well, it's not my job to invite his parents.

I mean, he should have taken the boat on. It's a cop out. It's a cop out from him. But. Did you invite every other single person Katrina? Were you like in charge of the inviting is what I'm asking. I was in charge of the inviting. Yes Did the party happen without the in-laws and they found out afterwards it was a good party It was a good party, yeah. Katrina, you're doubling down.

I think it probably was better without them. It was perfectly better. Katrina! Did they understand? Yeah, they understood. Oh, listen to it! Look, we're going on 25 years later, so they're simple. Did you bother inviting them to the wedding?

I'm still not married. Oh! Wait, what? The engagement party was 25 years ago, and you haven't got around to the wedding? I'm still not married. Oh wait what? The engagement party was 25 years ago and you haven't got around to the wedding? No, no. Yeah well your in-laws wouldn't give you any money towards the wedding after they weren't invited. We're all good, we're still good. Okay good, glad to hear it. This one's a wee bit more serious. Hi Amelia. Hi Amelia. Hey guys. What's the thing you weren't invited to? So I found out the time and place of my mother's funeral through my father's Facebook

post about it. What? How? So to make matters worse, I was only 16 years old at the time and I still lived at home. Oh, that's horrible. And so please tell me that you did not miss your mum's funeral. No, no, absolutely not. Have you, was dad going through it? Like what's the, come on, give me some reason, kind of reason. I mean, it's not the nicest story.

He's just not a very nice man. Oh, okay. Right. Well, I'm very glad to hear that you didn't miss your mum's funeral in the end. No I can laugh about it now. Yeah. It's the ultimate example of what we were talking about though Amelia. You kind of win the phone topic with that one. Yeah. Yeah. It kind of doesn't get more important than that. I love this text that's come through it says I'm not an extreme person,

but everyone in the friend group consistently forgets to invite this one guy to parties or whatever until very last minute. He's a good friend and everyone would notice if he wasn't in attendance. But yeah, for whatever reason, he's always forgotten. Maybe he's forgettable. Matt, oh, don't say that.. No you know how some people are.

Imagine being that guy. But then when he is there you're like oh my god so cool that you're here. So good to have you. Yeah. But it sounds like he's a core part of the friend group. No not both things can't be true. He's either a core part of the friend group or he's the guy you always forget to invite to things. You know? That sucks. I'd hate to be that person. My friend has been missed from her sister-in-law's- Oh wait, I am that person. I am that person right now. Thanks Claudia. Not bitter. Hashtag not bitter. My friend has been missed from her sister-in-law's engagement party, Hens Do and Baby Shower.

The sister-in-law that's organised them says it's because she's not on Facebook, but she has Messenger and she has a phone, it's just bloody rude now, so she refuses to go. I feel like... You would get a B in your bonnet. One is like a mistake, Two could be a coincidence. Three, that's a pattern. Three you realise they don't want you there. Yeah, three, that's a reason.

And they're just using the not having Facebook thing as an excuse. They're not forgetting to invite you. They just, yeah, don't want you there. God, what's that lady who has the let them theory? What's her name? Oh, I forgot her name. Who's the let them theory lady?

You know, the let them theory. If they don't want to invite you to their party, let them. Don't let me though, remind me, I just forgot. You're always welcome and I'm sure you will both be there and I can't wait to see you both there. Melody... Mel Robbins. Oh yeah, I was thinking of Melody Robinson, the black fern. Oh yeah. She probably says that too. She would too. She would let them. She a badass bee, I love her. It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Time for a round of the One Second Song Challenge. Time is waiting

And Bella's on my team, right Bella? Yeah.

She doesn't go by that name anymore. No, she doesn't. This is the one second song challenge. We're starting a song from the beginning. You just need to buzz in with your name as quick as you can and tell me the artist and the name of the song. First team to three points takes home the win. The theme today, it was only right to honor the one hit wonders that we've been going through. The ones that we've already had to say goodbye to.

I'm not going to be good at this. RIP. Are these losing one hit wonders? These are losing one hit wonders. Gone but not forgotten, and it doesn't mean they're not one hit wonders or that they're not great songs, but you'll definitely know them. OK. Yeah. So Bree and Clint, you guys are going first, and then I'll get Crystal and Brooke to do the next round. Here is your first song.

Clint. You're going to hate this. I know it too. That was a sitter for Bree. Becky G singing in the shower. Oh. I mean, that's not the name of. Oh. That's not the name of the song! That's not the name of the song. Give him another go.

Okay. Becky G shower. Yeah. Oh, technicality guys. All that points taken away from me for less. I thought you were going to say it was Becky Hill. I was going to give it to you but Bri looked looked affronted so I was just gonna honour her. Crystal now we know they're sticklers for details okay so you're gonna have to get the name exactly right.

Okay. Brooke don't let them sway you mate. Don't let them clad your judgement you just get it done alright? We haven't got this. Let's go. Okay buzz in with your name if you know it. Here it is. Oh, oh. Crystal. Crystal. Habits, stay high.

Bye. Bye, Toblo. Yeah! Yes! I'm gone and I gotta stay high all the time. It was perfect. Absolute tune. I was devastated this went out in the first round.

Like me, Becky G. Shower. Well done, Chris. Still good from you. Thank you. Jam, that's two points for Tim Clint. So Clint, you could get it here. Brooke, we're in trouble. Should we start trying now or?

Yes. We'll start from now. We'll start from now. Yeah, from now, from now. Okay, Bri and Clint, this is for you. Clint? Magic rude? Yes. I think we left our run too late, but...

Crystal, you are the proud owner of 50k of sea chicken dollars. Congratulations. I can't believe it. I'm so happy. Oh, nice. Oh, good. You recharge your batteries with that Crystal. It's ZM's Brinklin podcast.

The best, best one hit wonder of the 2010s. What is it gonna be? We are deep in the search for the ultimate one hit wonder of the 2010s specifically. Rolling Stone says that Teenage Dirtbag by Weezer is the greatest of the 2000s so we thought we'd take it on ourselves. Wheatice. Wheatice. Sorry I knew people were going to correct you on the tense machine. Yeah,

Wheatus. Teenage dirtbag. Yeah. So we've decided to find out what it is for the 2010s. Another round about to close. This round? In minutes. Has been the tightest and most exciting round yet. Let's go through some that have been decided and will not change. Leica G6 has made it through. It beat Pre Madonna girl. Happy with that? No controversy there. Yeah. No. Dane Rumble's going through. He beat Daya. Next one was a tough battle, Dance Monkey. It was a tight one. Versus the People's Champion Cheerleader.

Dance Monkey's come out on top. Dance Monkey's going through. Mr Saxo Beat. Against the unlikely hit from the Baby-Sitters Circus. I'm gutted to lose Mr. Saxo Beat. No, we're keeping Mr. Saxo Beat. Did it win? Claudia, Mr. Saxo Beat has come out on top, yes? I don't know, it was touch and go when I looked at it.

My screen here says Mr. Saxo Beat has won. In, but there's only 4% in it, it's tight. Okay, that one is tight. But at the moment it's Mr. Saxo Beat. Okay, common sense is prevailing for the moment. Okay. Passengers out. Because Cake by the Ocean is in. Happy there.

I really like that Passenger song. I do like that Passenger song. I don't like it more than Cake by the Ocean. Nah. Kimbra and Gotye go through to the next round. Not the Dochi version. And easily won. They smoked Safe and Sound. These are all songs that are contenders to be the greatest one hit wonder of the 2010s.

Watch Me Whip, Watch Me Nae Nae is out. Which is timely because there's news out today about Sy Lento. Yeah, news out literally today that he just got sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing his cousin. It's not a joke, like literally today, he got sentenced to 30 years. You can't write this stuff.

You can't. We haven't talked about Silento for about 10 years. Nah. And then he's in this competition and he's in prison on the same day. I'm glad he's out. He's... He doesn't deserve to be the biggest wonder. He's out of the competition.

He's into prison because he lost to Nico and Vince. This is quite a beast so far in this competition isn't it? This could go all the way. It could go all the way. Lucas Graham is through. He beat Ginny Blackmore. He beat Ginny Blackmore. You're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen. Sad to see Ginny go. She did very well though. Pumped Up Kicks is through.

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks. Because Geronimo is out. Save the Geronimo. Save the Geronimo. Sad to see the Shepard siblings go. But Pumped Up Kicks is a banger. Bree's favourite, X's and O's is through to the next round. I'm L King beat Havana Brown run the night. Which I'm a bit sad about.

That's a good tune. That's a bop. Carly Rae Jipson's through. Big battle, but she has defeated Bestial. If anyone was going to take them down. It had to be a big one. It had to be a big one like Carly Rae Jipson. Zendaya's out.

Which I know you'll be gutted about. Sad, I love that song. But Iggy Azalea is through. Can't deny this was a huge song. One Hit Wonders of the 2010s. What will be the greatest one? We Know Speak Americano is gone. Oh, sad to see that one go. But Timmy Trumpet is through. Happy with that.

Portugal the Man. Yeah, get out of here. Is out. Get out. Took down ghost Ella Henderson last round. Only to be defeated by Shut Up and Dance. This is going to the 70s I reckon. Then there are two battles left that are currently too close to call.

And I would say Ella what do you reckon? There's six minutes left of voting before it closes? Six minutes to go. Six minutes to go. The battles that are too close to call at the moment are between The Wanted You wanna know how many votes are in it? And the Lumineers I've got the votes up. Yep. So at the moment the Wanted is in front by 30 votes. 30? Yep. Out of thousands. Out of thousands and thousands. If nothing changes in the next six minutes the Wanted will go through over the Lumineers. The other one that's too close to call is the kids of 88 and would you believe it Gangnam Style crazy times one of those two songs will be gone in the next five minutes but at

the moment that's too close for us to predict who the winner is we have to let that one go right to the very end. Just trying to find the votes here but there's so many. There's 90 votes between those two. 90. Yep, 90. 90 currently in favour of the kids of 88. They're going to take down Psy.

It's going to happen. in favour of the kids of 88. They're gonna take down Psy. It's gonna happen. If you wanna influence this, and you haven't voted in this round, go and do it now. Cause as soon as this one closes, we're gonna launch the round of 16. And then we'll pick it up again next week. We're gonna know the winner of this

on the Thursday before Matariki. Yeah, we've got big plans to celebrate, to crown the greatest one hit wonder of the 2010s on Thursday next week. Play ZM's Breanne Clint. Breanne Clint. She is about to be the latest victim of Fridayoke. Ladies and gentlemen, Breanne Clint, Fridayoke. Is this the first takedown of Tate McCray on Fridayoke! Is this the first takedown of Tate McCray on Fridayoke?

It's Tate McCray's first time being assaulted by us in Fridayoke, yeah. Bri chose the song this week, and it is a song that we've had on the back burner for a little while. We've wanted to give this a go, because it's kind of interesting. Yeah, I feel like she covers a lot of different styles and voices in this song, which makes it fun to do. It's sports car. She goes high, she goes low, she's all over the place. It's a big hit at the moment.

Someone, some could, oh no. She's a huge artist. I was gonna say, some would say she shifted many gears on this song. Nice. That was definitely worth it. That's quality radio. That was so worth it.

I'm so glad I did that. They can't teach that. Nah, they can't. Claudia, you have heard our Friday O' okies this week. Bre and I have not heard our own attempts. What are your thoughts? Honestly not the worst thing I've ever heard. They're dynamic, you guys go fun places. I haven't heard the whole thing but I've heard enough to know. Because Claudia I need a win after last week and by win I mean I just need it to be somewhat okay because last week we all need a win after last week. That was the pits for me that was rock bottom. It was a rough

day last Friday. That was rough for me. Here we go if you're new to Fridayoke Bri and I have spent time doing our own individual covers of this song you're gonna hear both and then the phone lines will be opened for you to pick the winner. Five people will decide who wins Friday. Okay, because Bri chose the song Bri gets to go first So here comes Bri's sports car. So excited to hear this She's shifting into top gear and here she is Hey cute jeans Take mine off me. Oh Golly jean, I can't make me choose

In the alley in the back, in the center of this room With the windows rolled down, boy don't make me choose I think you know what this is, I think you want it, uh No you ain't got no misses You know what you got a sports car. You can't lie in it. While you drive it real hard. Yeah, you know what this is. Yeah, you know what this is.

I thought it was pretty good. That one said, shit, I think your sports car just dropped the diff. Due for service. I'm a car girl so I know what that means. No, the diff's gone, once it's dropped it's gone. I think that was respectable, that performance. Hey, it was better than last week so that's all I can hope for. You're up, soldier! Here we go, straight in, like an ice bath, let's just...

Get in the old Corvette and give it a burn. Vroom vroom. Here's my attempt at Tate McCrae's sports car for Friday O'Kee. Hey cute jeans, take mine off me Oh golly gee, I can't take no more I'm going weak in my knees Where'd you put those keys?

We can share one seat we can share one seat in the alley in the back in the center of this room with the windows rolled down boy don't make me I want to take out an AVO after that. Last bit was scary. You started, I think, well. Like I was loving it at the start. It's really a tale of three halves, isn't it? I think the part you lost me was the creepy whispering at the end. It's really a tale of three halves, isn't it? I think the part you lost me was the creepy whispering at the end.

Oh, that was the bit. That was the only bit I didn't like. The other stuff I loved. Someone said it sounds like a Muppets cover. Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, God. Someone said I just tuned in. Holy shit.

Holy moly. And to keep the car puns running, someone said, Clint, I think the wheels fell off that one But look, we don't know how these are gonna be received. Do we? Yeah, it's just our feedback. Hey, that's just what people think we love Getting the feedback ZM's Brie and Clint podcast and what was that? Which coincidentally is what most people were just screaming at their radio during Friday is what most people were just screaming at their radio during Friday.

A lot of people got a fright this week. We bravely took on Tate McCray's sports car. Bree sounded like this. And mine sounded like this. And mine sounded like this Texting and said not a good day to wear headphones Other texts like guys if that was better than last week, I do not want to hear last week Trust me for my sake. Please don't go listen to last week. Someone said Clint respectfully don't ever sing that song again. The feedback has varied isn't it? It always is. The mix. Someone said after that I locked my car doors. We have five people standing

by to give us a bit of feedback and to pick the winner of Friday O'Kee. We'll just stay in here. And Tara's gonna go first. Hi Tara. Hi Tara. Hi, how are you? Good, thank you. Long time listener, first time caller. Oh, wait a second Tara. First time caller. First time caller.

Go Tara, go Tara. What a time to call through as well Tara. Did we lure you in with our seductive Brady singing? That's it. Who are you going to vote for Tara? Sorry Clint, it's going to be Brady this week. I'll take it Tara, thank you for the vote. I tend to agree, thank you very much.

Let's go to Sianna Lee. Hi Sianna Lee. Hi Sianna Lee. Hi. Tell us mate, do you have any feedback? Um, yes, I think Clint, you were a bit growly and I just, it wasn't for me. No that's honest feedback. I think that's good honest feedback. Just to be clear, you're voting for Clint? No.

I think she's voting for me as a default, which I'll take the default vote. Thank you, Sianna Lee. Yep, I am. Yep, that's exactly right. Let's go to Rosie. Kia ora, Rosie. Hi, Rosie. Hi.

We need to look to get better. We need constructive criticism. So do you have any feedback for us? Maybe just, Clint, I would say try to stay away from the high notes. Yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Yeah, okay. Fair enough.

And for me? Um, I think... Just stay away altogether. I think you just need to have a few voice cracks. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. I hear you. Who are you voting for, Rosie? Um, I'm going to have to vote for Bree.

I will take it, thank you. Put it in my pocket. Let's go to Nala. Nala, who have to vote for Bri. I will take it, thank you. Put it in my pocket. Let's go to Nala. Nala, who's your vote for? I vote for Bri. Thank you, Nala. Have a good weekend. And Taylor and Quinn get the final vote. Hi, guys. Hi, guys.

Hi, I'm Bri. Bri. That's a vote for Bri. Thank you, Quinn. Great. Thank you. It's a downtrow. You needed a win and you got a big win. I needed it after last week. I was going to say, Clint needs an exorcism.

I don't know what you're talking about. Cookie! I want a cookie! Thank you for voting in Friday Hockey. Thank you guys, appreciate your votes. Next, do you want to reveal what we're doing next week? Nah, I think we'll keep it a surprise. We've got a big plan for next week.

Give us a call now, 0800 DIALSATM, we'll do it next. There it is, Brie and Clint. Here we go, welcome to birthday banger. You call us up, tell us your birthday.

Hi there babes, thanks for finally calling through. Thank you, it was my daughter actually. Really? Because it's my birthday today and she really wants to know what my birthday banger is. Stop it. Can we start with a big happy birthday, Manisha? Happy birthday. Thank you. And also what is your daughter's name? Ashna. Hi Ashna, thank you so much for making your mum call through on her birthday so we can spoil her. What is the year? At 1982. All right, that means you were 16 in 1998.

And we've done our calculations and here's your birthday banger. ["Dance of the Sugar Baby"] Oh, the box! This is a good song! It's a great one! My daughter's cringing right now, but I think this is great. It's our job as parents to make our children cringe. Exactly.

I think it's a banger. I agree. Wait there birthday girl, we're going to do Peppa. Peppa's doing her mum's birthday banger. Hi Peppa. Hi Peppa. Are you there Peppa? Yep. Oh there she is.

We got you now. Hey Peppa, thanks for calling through for mum. What's her birthday? The 26th of April, 1982. Oh nice work. Another 82. That means Peppa, your mum was 16 in 1998 as well, but on that day, this was number one.

Be the Bebe. Hey for someone like you. Casey and Jojo, all my life. What do you think, Pippa? I've never heard it before. Yeah. Mum will love it. She'll love it, yeah. Mum would have slow danced to this at her school disco, at her high school social.

Yep, it's a classic. She'll know it. Wait there, we'll do one more birthday banger for Kim. Kia ora, Kim. Hi Kim. Kia ora, how are you guys? Good, thank you mate. How are you going? I'm good, thank you.

Good to hear. Hey Kim, we need your birthday, please. Yeah, 14th of April, 95. All right, Kim, that means you were 16 in 2011. What a year. And on that day, this was at the top. Oh, let's go. Banger. Peak David Gitter

with Snoop Dogg and Sweat. Oh, you can't go wrong, Kim. Nah, it's a banger. Yeah. I do like it. It's got that 2010s vibe. It does, eh? Okay, you've made this tough, Kim.

Wait there. We've got to decide between Steps Casey and JoJo and Snoop Dogg. Ah, that Sweat song is so good. That song just threw me because I was all decide between Steps, Kasey and Jojo and Snoop Dogg. Ah, that sweet song is so good. That song just threw me because I was all in for Steps, I was in for Manisha and her birthday. You've just reminded me of the... Because they're equal to me. And she was a long time listener, first time caller, which, I mean, doesn't...

It's not always a decider. But the birthday definitely comes into it. It's her birthday today. I'm going Steps. Yeah, go on. We got to, we it. It's her birthday today. It's her birthday. I'm going steps. Yeah, go on. We gotta go with our birthday girl. Manisha, you've just won birthday banger. Congratulations.

Here it is from 1998. it's Steps on ZM. Starts again, I'm counting in. Five, six, seven, eight. ZM's Brian Clint. Five, six, seven, eight. That's the winner of birthday banger today for Monisha, whose birthday is today. It's Steps from the year 1998.

Couple of texts, someone said, a bit embarrassed that I know all the words to this song.' Don't be embarrassed. No. Own that. That is a badge of honour. Someone else said, "'Sitting in Auckland traffic,

the car next to me pulls up, also jamming to this song.'" That's what we like. Banger! That's what we like to hear. That's the best. When you realise that you and the car next to you are not only listening to,

but enjoying the same thing on the radio Yeah, there's nothing like human connection. It is it is it is cool. There was a good round of birthday banger We have the round of 16 for one hit wonders up now. You can go and vote on it We'll have a look at the preliminary results next but first Bri wants to talk about soup. Yeah, I have a very very serious question about soup. Yeah, I have a very, very serious question about soup. ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Got a very serious question, which I feel like it's going to help thousands and thousands of people listening. And the question is simple.

What is the perfect amount of time you have to reheat a bowl of soup in the microwave? So it's not too hot, but it's not hot on the sides and cold in the middle, but it's just that perfect temperature. Brie, thank you for using your platform for this important cause. It's okay. Sometimes you have to. We have this, you know, huge responsibility. Absolutely. Look, soup season, isn't it? It is soup season. I hate overheating a soup. Me too.

Especially like a pumpkin soup and it goes all crusty around the edges of the bowl. It's devastating. It's thermonuclear and you can't even enjoy it. Can't even touch the bowl. Also, I hate heating a bowl of soup and then going and sitting down on the couch putting my TV show on only to have a spoonful and it's lukewarm. Yep. Oh god, I hate it. I think I hate both scenarios just as much as the other. I don't know the answer, but I can give you my thoughts. Okay, what are your thoughts?

Do you know the answer? Have you got some science? This is the thing. I don't know the answer. I feel like, I mean, we don't know the answer I feel like I mean we can Google it But I feel like why would we when we could just talk about it, but it's also human experience that I want I don't want Google to tell me I don't have heaps of super experience, but I'll tell you how I operate Okay, you tell me our metric here is single serve bowl of soup from the fridge. Yeah. Yes. One bowl from the fridge, cold from the fridge. Cold from, so it's been in the fridge. So this is what I would do. Three minutes. Yep.

Broken up into one minute stirring intervals. One minute, stir. One minute, stir. One minute, stir, consumed. I have so many, the people are invested. My friend Amanda has just texted me and she's like, you need to put the bowl on the rim of your microwave plate. One minute, stir, one minute. You're saying. One minute, stir, one minute, one stir, one minute, stir.

With one minute extra. That's a scented bowl. Not a bowl on the edge of the microwave. Whatever you do, don't put it in the middle. This is why it's cold in the middle. You need to put it on the outside of the microwave plate. Radical suggestion. You know what? She's right about it. And it's something I've learned more recently in my more recent years is the outside of the microwave plate is where your items should be. Someone's just texted and said my guys heat it in the pot. That's the classy way they reheat soup on the stove top. Yeah but I don't want to wash a pot because then I'm

gonna be washing a pot, I'm washing a bowl, I it like, you know, if it goes straight into the plate I'm just washing the plate. What if you hear me out? What if you take what if you take what if you take the pot? Mmm with you to the table put it like a chopping board down and eat directly from the pot. That's not classy Yeah, we're not we're not bachelors. What if it's a nice pot? Mmm, let's ask producers. I feel like they've got a bit of experience with soup. Claudia, Ella, you guys eat a lot of soup.

What makes you think that? You've got a soupy vibe to you. Yeah, you definitely have a soupy vibe. You kind of smell like soup sometimes. Yeah, you've got a hot cabbage vibe. That's my musk. How do you reheat your soup, Claudia? I need it to be as hot as physically possible

like if it's not burning me it's not hot enough. Really? So how long to get there? Minimum two and a half minutes but I like... No stir! No no I would do 60 seconds at a time definitely you have to stir it because that's how you avoid the crusties. Someone just texted who's putting a pot in the microwave? No that's not what we said. On the stove! On the stove! Oh, no, I microwave it. Microwave it. Oh my God. See, I told you this was a confusing question. I tried to put a pot in the microwave,

I couldn't get the handle on. No, bowl, put the bowl in the microwave. No, we know that much. For 90 seconds, swish it around, test it, and then keep going for another 90. Oh, so you're saying three minutes. 90, 90. Yeah.

But you're giving it an extra 30. Yes. Before you're stirring. You just asked your mum to do it. Someone said, who has a stove at work? Look, it's not all at work, okay? We can't eat soup at home. Why are you so tense right now?

This is, my heart rate's gone up. Well, because, because, and Bree said this at the outset, she said this is important. It's very important, okay? Okay, let's all just breathe. Okay, there's someone who's very passionate that has said, you guys have it wrong. It needs to go in twice.

One minute 20, take it out, stir, back in for 40, then it's done. I like that. You can get it done in two minutes. I think it's going to be cold. Hear me out, guys. What are your thoughts on microwaving it in the bag? No. Chuck the

bag in the microwave? What bag? One minute take the bag out, give it a shake, chuck the bag back in. No the soup in a bag. So you're asking for a soup bag explosion. You don't get an opinion anymore. Have I lost soup privileges? No more minestrone. Someone just texted and said, my eight year old daughter just said, I didn't know soup could go this deep. Trust me. Oh yeah. Some say soup...

Girl, you're eight. You've got a lot to learn. Soup is the deepest meal of them all. Yeah. This is chicken soup for the soul radio. They wrote a whole book about it. Do we get to the bottom of it? I think we got a few things out of it. I love the microwave rim job idea. Microwave on the on the rim of the plate, not in the middle

because that is a dead spot of the microwave. That is one. I think it's also key, a few people said it, you need to take it out, stir it. Stirring is the most important advice we have. Here we're gonna make a call. We're gonna make a call. All right. This is it. Yeah. You know, sometimes you just have to get in there and be a leader for the people. Be assertive, yeah, take control.

It's on the microwave plate rim. One minute, take it out, stir. Another minute, take it out, stir. You go in for that final minute, you take it out and you enjoy. And I think that'll be spot on. Exactly what I suggested, which means I agree. So we got that.

Now the bread, are we toasting it or are we just having it soft? I don't have time. I was reading this article today. It's advice from people in their 30s with the number one thing they wish they knew back in their 20s. Okay what's the number one thing? Hindsight's 2020 right? Yeah. But they go if I could if I could teleport back and talk to myself in my 20s here's the thing that I would tell them these are all different ones from different people start with

something easy I've got seven things here. We'll start with something simple. Someone said floss. Yeah. It would be floss. I'd love to tell, I'm a prolific flosser now. I'd love to tell 20 year old me to start flossing. I feel like dentists, like all of us Millennials, the dentist didn't harp on about flossing that much. They didn't. Or you just didn't go. My dentist never did. Blame the dentist. I am. I'm going to blame that dentist. I'm going to take it to the grave. Someone else said,

I wish I knew in my 20s not to go to the grocery store hungry. Mm. Fatal error. Although I quite like it though. The amount of shit you buy and the amount of stuff you demolish in the car park. I quite like living on the edge. There's nothing better than going to the supermarket super hungry

I've turned a corner on this have you and just buying all the things you feel like and then just having like a little car picnic Yeah, but it ruins the rest of your week because you just bought all the things that you wanted in that moment I mean that is a great play you're blinded by your immediate hunger Anyway, this is advice from people in their 30s for people in their 20s They said the associations you keep will inevitably be the qualities you develop. Say again? The associations you keep will inevitably be the qualities you develop, which means you can always tell what someone is like from the company they keep.

And you become the company that you have. Of course. Yeah. So whoever you associate with, those are the personality traits you develop. Largely, normally. They'd be outliers to that. But usually you're a product of your environment. So ditch your friends is the advice.

No, just hang out with the people that you wanna aspire to be like. So it's kinda heavy, it says, you'll never convince a narcissist that their behavior is wrong or abusive because their ego is too big to admit that they're wrong so there's no use trying. It's true like there's no point it's a pointless argument. I guess the advice there is stop trying to change people who don't want to change themselves. Can't be changed. Or don't want to put any effort into bettering themselves people who don't want to change themselves. Can't be changed.

Or don't want to put any effort into bettering themselves. Or don't even realise that they need to change. Or don't care about you. Hmm. Probably. Yeah, don't waste your time. Number five, there's a seven things people in their 30s wish they knew in their 20s. Someone said stop worrying about the opinions of people that you don't respect anyway.

Yeah. That's so much easier said than done when you're in your 30s. It's so much easier to do in your 30s than it is in your 20s. Something obviously that is unusual and different about my life and your life is being in the pubs like we're semi in the public eye so we are open up to public opinion so you do get comments from time to time like over your career. Of course. And I remember someone's and it used to really affect me a lot like even just one comment. One text. One text. Yeah. And I remember I

can't remember who said it to me. I think it was I think it was my mom actually said to me she's like why do you care about a comment that someone has made that has never even met you or does not even know you? When the people closest to you make a comment or say something negative about you That's when you worry and that's when you take notice totally because they actually know you you have to evaluate The person who's giving you their opinion. Yeah, and whether you respect their opinion or not and if you don't Yeah, exactly. Good. Can't be mature. Number six of seven. If your friend or coworker complains about other people to you, they're saying bad things about you to other people.

100%. Loose lips, same shit. Isn't that fascinating? Yeah. And you think they're confiding in you with how they don't like such and such and how such and such is a bitch and so and so is so messy. They're doing the exact same thing. You're on their list too. Yeah. Yeah. And number seven these are things people in their 30s wish they knew in their 20s. Take better care of your back. Oh preach it. Much like flossing in your teeth eh. Once it's gone it's gone. Preach it. I put knees in there as well. Can we sound old? We're not that old, but it's just in your 30s

you start to realise that... I wish I could go back though. You physically peak in your 20s. Also... And as it starts to slide, you go, oh man. Also, wear sunscreen. Every day, I know I harp on about it. Wear it every day.

I don't care if you're just in the car, guess what, the sun'll get ya. Put sunscreen on. Why harp on about it? Wear it every day. I don't care if you're just in the car. Guess what? The sun'll get ya. Put sunscreen on. Okay, that's obviously my part. Hopefully that helps. Good luck everybody. Play ZM's Brian Clint on Insta, Facebook, TikTok,
