The ZM Podcast Network. ZM, Brie and Clint. Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show on Friday. The 13th. Where's some spooky music? Spooky music. Why is Friday the 13th such a spooky day? Is it because of the movie, Friday the 13th?

No, I think the other way around. I think the movie is based off the day. Let me Google it. Or why is Friday the 13th. So spooky. Do you know? No. Number 13 has long been linked to ill fortune in mythology and religion. Doesn't really say why Friday the 13th is an extra spooky day.

Well, if you've been visited by a spirit today on Friday the 13th, feel free to get in touch with us and let us know about it. Friendly ghost? Casper? Aggressive ghost. Who? The ghost. Whichever ghost visited you. Oh, did you ask people if a ghost visited you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not an official phone

topic, but we're always open to it. Casper, the friendly ghost. Yeah. The ghost, the friendly ghost. Yeah. The ghost of elections gone by. It's the last day you have to hear about the election, by the way. No one's allowed to talk about it tomorrow. Yeah, true. No billboards.

All those ugly billboards come down tonight. They have to be taken down. Any that haven't been smashed down or defaced by people in your community already, they'll be down tonight. No more ads. No more ads. It's all gone tomorrow. No more pop-up banners when you go to your favourite website.

That's it. That's it. Done. It's over. And all you have to do is vote, if you haven't already. Yeah. Thank God it's over. I voted this morning.

I'll vote tomorrow. The Deputy Prime Minister was there while I was trying to vote. Were they? Yep. She was there. Did you ask her who she was voting for? Well, here's the funny thing about it. She's the MP for Kelston, but she was voting in New Lynn. And I think

she lives in New Lynn, which means she can't vote for herself. Imagine, because there would be people that are running that would go in and vote for herself. She can't vote for herself. Imagine, because there would be people that are running that would go in and vote for themselves. These suburbs are right next to each other, but I don't think she could vote for herself. Imagine.

Anyway, there are cameras and stuff there, so I was like, I bugger this, I'll go somewhere else to vote. Have you ever voted for yourself in something? You so have, come on. No. Yes, you have Well if you're not going to vote for yourself How can you expect anyone else to vote for you

I think I heard RuPaul say that one time If you can't vote for yourself How the hell are you going to vote for someone else Start the show with Tradiverse Lady We've got 50 bucks cash up for grabs right now thanks to KFC. 0800 dial ZM. Let's go.

Okay, there's a big booch to fill. Welcome to the show, Brandon. G'day, Brandon. Hey, guys. How you going? Good, thanks. How long have you been playing? Oh, I don't know.

Maybe the last couple of weeks, but it has been frustrating to hear these other tradies. So I know I've put a lot of pressure on myself, but that's all about babies. I like that you're here to pull the tradies back from the brink because they are steering down a defeat for the record for the full year. It's not looking good for the tradies, Brandon. I feel like you're confident, not cocky,

which we welcome here on Tradie vs. Lady. Oh, that's good. Your buzzer, Brandon, is Tradie. Rhiannon, yours is Lady. First three correct answers gets 50 bucks cash from KFC. Good luck. Here we go, guys. Question number one.

Tomorrow is election day. How many seats are there in the New Zealand Parliament? Is there a hundred and... Ooh, yes, Rhiannon. 65? No, it's multi-choice. So, Brandon, you'll get the multi-choice options and then you'll get to guess.

110, 120 or 130? I'll go straight down the middle. We'll say 120. That is on the money. It is 120. All right, one to the tradies. Question number two. What is the name of the city that Spongebob Squarepants lives in?

Nah. We were looking for Mitch James. Mitch James. Mitch James, Kiwi boy. All right, no points there for anyone. We're still one apiece. Question number four. What is the typical colour of bubble gum? Brady.

Yes, Brandon. Can you say that again? You just dropped out. Brandon. We haven't lost Brandon, have we? Oh, no. Do you hear me? There he is.

It's two to the tradies, one to the ladies. Rhiannon, you need this one to stay in it. Question number five. Kung fu originated from which country? I'm going to say Brandon buzzed in. China. It was China. And that's the one?

No, I believe it was China. China. Oh, he's backed himself and it's paid off in spades. By the skin of your teeth, Brandon. Congratulations. Sorry about the line. No, no worries. You got the win and the 50 bucks from KFC.

Congratulations. Very much. Who would have thought his biggest competition was reception? Brie and Clint. In the next 10 minutes, Brie's going to try her first ever custard square. Yeah. I'm so excited. Yeah.

I'm so pumped. Yeah, I can't believe you've never had a custard square. Really pumped about it. We learned how to correctly cut one this week, so Brie's going to taste one next. I hope I like it. I hope you like it. Yeah. I hope Ella's got you a good one.

Yeah, what if she's got me some crappy one? Yeah, what if... And then I'll just never try again. I know, I know. This is like make or break. Yeah. In the custom square department. The first custom square is the most important.

Right now, though, I want to talk about marriage packs. Okay. And if you don't know what that is, it's probably because you don't have one. Oh, you mean like if we're not married by a certain age... We'll marry each other. We'll marry each other. Yeah, if we're by a certain age, we'll marry each other. We'll marry each other. Yeah, if we're not married by 35, we'll marry each other.

On my 40th birthday, I'll be at the top of the Sky Tower if I'm single. And if you're there, then I know that you're still single and we'll get married. Yeah. Yeah. Like that's a marriage pact. And quite awkward before the show where we were all talking

about the fact that we all had one. You, me, producer Ella, and unfortunately, someone else learnt that they were the only one that didn't have one, producer Claude. No one loves me. No one invited you to be in their marriage pack. I think I've had like

jokey ones, but not like actual like, we're really talking about. What's a jokey one? Like, oh my God, if we're 30 and single, we'll get married. Lol. But then you mention it one time and it's not like. That's where they all come from. Everyone's joking at first to test the waters.

But you need like a binding contract. Yeah. I need a written contract. Yeah. Sign it with a quill. Otherwise it's not real. Claudia is now panicking. She's like, everyone's taken.

I had a marriage pact with my friend Catherine. We were never any way romantically linked whatsoever. We'd never pashed. We'd never held hands. Did you think Catherine was hot though? No. We weren't attracted to each other. Mate, you need to make sure you think your pact is hot.

No, that's not what it was about. We just got along really well. And it was, look, if neither of us have any luck, we'll just marry each other, okay? What age? What age did we make the pact? Yeah. Probably in our very early 20s.

No, what age did you make the pact for? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 40. 40. I think 40's the age. Which in your 20s is the oldest age you can think of. 40's the age. I was reading this story about this woman who made a pact with her friend, like we all do, like a lot of people do,

that they would get married if they were both single when they were 30. Oh, that's early. So these two, they always had feelings for each other. There had been little flings here and there, but then they went off and dated other people and did this and that. Yeah. And when they hit 30, they both said, right, should we get married? And they got married and now they have three kids being married for ages.

They don't count. They just were really attracted to each other and wanted to get married. They've made it work. But what? They wanted to go and hook up with a bunch of other people before they locked it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they wanted that safety net of each other. You know that is the plot line to the movie My Best Friend's Wedding?

Is it? Yeah, like the central plot line of that movie is Julia Roberts' character and the guy who gets married have a pact that they'll get married if they're both single. I think it's 30. Really? And on her her like a couple of weeks after her 30th birthday or something like this he calls her and she's like oh my god this is what he's calling me about hugh grant no not god you need to watch some movies richard gear no and then no and he calls her and goes no he calls her and goes um Brosnan no calls her and goes

I'm getting married I want you to be my best man and she's gutted and then she tries to break up the whole wedding because he was

her safety net yeah fantastic film Cameron Diaz is in it don't ask your marriage pact to be your best man

that's not fair someone just text through and said, I'm married to my marriage pact guy. Claudia, can you try and get them real quick? We'll see if we can talk to them before the end of the break. Oh, someone else. Yes, me and my daughter's dad.

We were best friends since we were teenagers. Had our daughter at 16. We made a pact for 30. I'm married to someone else and he has his wedding this year. Me and his fiance are now best friends and my husband is really close with my daughter's dad. Okay, the Custard Square's going to have to wait. We're going to talk to some marriage pacts next. Yeah. We didn't think we would get anybody who had actually married their marriage pact. We'd love to talk to you though.

0800 dial ZM. If you did, we'd love to get you on. Did you marry your marriage pact? Brianne Clint. Erin's called up on 0800 dial ZM. Erin, what's your marriage pact story? Okay, so me and my best friend, we're both heterosexual, so we're both straight people and have decided that if we are both not in a relationship or marry by the time I'm 40, which is a few years after she'd be 40, then we're just going to

marry each other. This is quite cool because it means that we've just had companionship but also we could still both sleep with whoever we wanted but it would be the companionship. Wait, so it's a non-sexual marriage? What a dream! Like a marriage of convenience and then you guys just hook up with dudes

on the side? If we want, yeah. And our kids would love it. Like, they already are really excited. We're like, hang on, guys. Erin, does this mean, like, are we talking full serious here, that you guys would get a house together, you'd live together, the whole shebang?

Yeah, 100%. Would you? Well, apart from the shebang, actually. Apart from the shebanging, yeah. Erin, I love this idea. Would you? Well, apart from the shebang, actually. Apart from the shebanging, yeah. Erin, I love this idea. Why not? Exactly. How close are you to doing it?

How old are you now, Erin? 31. Oh, so it's nine years away yet. Yeah, a few years to go. Oh, that sounds like fun. Are you secretly hoping, Erin, that your best friend doesn't meet anyone? I mean, no, not really. It depends.

Let's see what comes. Yeah, it depends. Ask her in four or five years' time, I reckon. Yeah, right. Okay, Erin. That's off me. It might make me. Who knows?

Very interesting. Thank you very much, Erin. Let's talk to Emily on our $800. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. Hello. You text us. You're married to your marriage pact. Yeah, I's talk to Emily on 0800. Hi, Emily. Hi, Emily. Hello. You text us. You're married to your marriage pact.

Yeah, I'm married to my marriage pact guy. Tell us the situation, Emily. At what age did you make the pact, and at what age did you say that you guys would get married if you weren't with anyone else? I think we were 15. We were 15? Yeah, we were 15 when we made the pact.

We're best mates, and we, you know, at 15, 30 seems really old. Yes. We thought that 30, like if we're not married by 30, that's bad. We're spinsters. Terrible. We'll get married. Yeah. And we got married in 2021, the day after my 30th birthday.

No way, Emily. And has it worked out? Is he right there next to you? Yeah, he's right there next to me. Yeah, it has worked out. We've got four kids. Well, he's stepped into two. We've got two others.

Amazing. I mean, so far, so good. So far, so good. How old are you now? I beg your pardon? How old are you now? 31. So we've been married one or two, coming up two years.

Coming up two years. Okay. I love that, Emily. I'm so glad that it worked out. Your 15-year-old marriage pact paid off. Well, congratulations. Emily, you didn't make any other pacts? No other pacts, but at the wedding, everyone just sort of was like,

oh, yeah, we knew this was going to happen. We knew that you'd marry your marriage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone felt very like the stars aligned on that one, I guess. That's a good sign when everyone's like this, we knew this was going to happen. What you don't want at the wedding is people going, geez, this is a bit weird.

Yeah. Oh, great. Geez, Emily's getting married to that guy? I thought they were joking. Didn't see this coming. I thought they were joking. Yeah, I wouldn't have put them together. All right, thanks, Em. Have a great weekend. All good. Catch up. See ya. There you go. Jeez, Emily's getting married to that guy? I thought they were joking. Didn't see this coming. I thought they were joking. Yeah, I wouldn't have put them together. All right, thanks, Em.

Let's hope for you yet, Claudia. I've got a message for you people, actually. Just check up on my packs. Free and Clint. Earlier this week, the whole country was talking about the correct way to cut a custard square. That news went viral. Because if you the correct way to cut a custard square. That news went viral. Because if you've ever tried to cut a custard square from the lid down to the base,

all comes out the side, doesn't it? Yep, all sprays out one side or the other. Yeah, and then some genius baker from Melbourne said, uh, bruh, turn it on its side. Bree, when we had that revelation, shocked us by saying, you've never had a custard square. I don't think I have. And looking at it,

now I know I haven't. You've never had a custard square. I know what a custard square is, but I've never consumed a custard square. Ella has very kindly gone and secured a custard square for us. Ella, where did you get this custard square from? Where is this delightful looking,

quite chunky custard square specimen from? Daddy. The Shaw Golden Star. Oh yeah, so just a general bakery. Yeah, shout out. Shout out to the Golden Star. We figured out that an incorrectly stored custard square can give you gonorrhea, is that what we said?

Really? No, campylobacter. Syphilis. Syphilis, one of those. The clap. What? No. Campylobacter? Syphilis. Syphilis, one of those. The clap. What? No, but a badly stored custard square can make you quite sick. Really? Has this been stored properly? Yeah, it's been in the fridge.

Okay, that's fine. Okay. Don't worry. As long as it's been in the fridge. I'm sure I'm already going to have an upset stomach because I don't do dairy, but that's fine. That's fine. It's worth it. You'll do it for the cause.

Absolutely. You've got to live a little. Okay. So can you cut it the way that we've been told to cut it? Okay. So I'm turning it on its side. It's on its side. Prop it up there.

Turning it on its side. Like you should do CPR. Yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, no. That's when someone's choking. Yeah. Turn them on their side.

You've put the custard square in the recovery position. I have. Okay. No, bigger bit than that. No. Well, just the other producers. They've got their own one. Oh, sweet. Okay.

Here we go. Is it? We're going for the new methodology. The knife's pretty blunt, but it's worked pretty bloody well. Look at that. That's a perfectly cut custard square. Here we go. And now for the big reveal.

People love hearing other people eat on radio, eh? Just checking. Okay, that's a perfectly cut custard square. Okay, here we go. And now for the big reveal. People love hearing other people eat on radio, eh? Yeah. Just checking. Okay, sweet. Yeah, they do. Okay, here we go. They love, this is the radio people sign up for. Oh, I don't know.

Oh, what's this going to be? We can title this Aussie Chick Tries First Custard Square. Okay, here we go. Yeah. Three, two, one. Come out the side. Just squirt it out the side for sure. It's delicious.

It's good, eh? How have I never tried that? Yum! There's a moment of hesitance there where I thought you were going to go, oh, this is pretty shit. Oh, she's pretty yum. There's a lot going on. There's a lot going on pretty yum. There's a lot going on. There's a lot going on, eh?

There's a lot going on. Between the icing and the pastry and the custard. And I'm like, how is that custard like kind of... It's so hard, eh? It's so hard. It's kind of like holding its form. And then it's like tricking my brain. I'm like, is that custard?

No, pretty good. Well, there you go. I hope there's a bakery near you that's still open now that we've influenced you into thinking about custard squares on your Friday afternoon. Brianne Clint. Came across this funny thread on the interwebs yesterday and the question was,

what are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? It's quite an interesting question. Yeah. I thought we could go through some of the top comments on the thread and then we can all discuss. Put some in. Yeah, throw some into the mix. Top of the list.

What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? The website LinkedIn. It's not a very good website. Nah, people use it though. It's pretty boring too. Yeah. It's pretty boring. It's like social media but you don't get to post anything cool.

Yeah. You're braggers. I did my job. Sweet. Someone tell me how good I am for doing my job. Go onto LinkedIn and update my profile. One of the other comments on what do you convince people are pretending to enjoy? Videos of their friends' kids.

Oh. Oh. Oh, so true. I show you guys videos of my kids every afternoon. Oh, some are cute. Yeah. But majority, like I think pick and choose. You know what's cute and when it's too much.

Like if it's too long, like if it's a two-minute video, don't care. Oh, yeah. I only show the highlights. Don't care. The next one on the list was... I don't need to see the first time they ate solids. Yeah. Next one on the list was extreme hot sauces.

Yeah, we did that Spicy 2's video recently. I don't get some of these hot sauces and there's people out there that put it on their dinner, like to eat. Where's the joy? Yeah. Like what's the win?

I don't get it. Next one on the list. What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? Gender reveal parties. Honestly, put the gender reveal party in the bin. Yay! Whenever people celebrate, when the gender is revealed, whenever people celebrate, I'm like, oh, so that's the one you were hoping for.

What if it was the other one? How would you have reacted with the other one? It's a boy and they're like, boo! Unless you are whacking on those special tires onto a Commodore and you are tearing that Commodore down the main street and it turns pink or blue, then I don't want to be involved. That's the only gender reveal party I want to be involved in. What are you convinced people are pretending?

Very specific request for a gender reveal from you, by the way. No, that's the only gender reveal party. This is very specific. Like if I ever in life have to have a gender reveal party, you bet I'm going to be hiring a Commodore V8 and I'm going to be doing that exact thing. Okay. What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy?

Your boss's jokes. Okay. What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? Your boss's jokes? Yep. Bourbon? Yeah. Yep. Someone just literally put... I pretended to enjoy bourbon for about eight years. There's a few alcohols in there.

Yeah, growing up in Rotorua, I was like, yeah, this is what we like, eh? You're like, everyone else is liking it. I like it too. Jim Beam, yum. Yeah. Someone else put country music on the list. Someone else also put parenting, full stop. Facts, yeah.

It's rough. It's rough out there. Sometimes, yeah. I thought, let's go around the room. We can all throw our own into the mix. What are you going to put on the list? What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? Running.

Oh, I agree. I've done it. They're like, oh, yeah, but it's hell while you're doing it. But you wait till you get that runner's high. Nah. Haven't had it. I never got it. Never will.

I've needed to throw up a few times. Don't understand it. But if that's what the runner's high is, I don't want it. Don't get it. I don't want it. Claudia, what are people pretending to enjoy? Car air fresheners. They're too strong.

They make me feel so sick. All air fresheners? No, just cars because you're contained. No, but I reckon all air fresheners, like the Glade, the can of Glade in the bathroom. Oh, yeah, that toilet smell. Yeah, they're quite strong, eh? Ella, what are you throwing on the list? Going to town.

Going clubbing Going to Clubbing I'm convinced everyone is not having fun They're all just pretending because everyone else is And it's a circle I feel that one I don't know if I do I've had great times out There's other times where I totally agree with you though

What I'll throw on the list is What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? Whenever someone is describing a dream they had, we don't care. I love dream chat. We honestly don't care. I could not care less. Unless you are indoor gardening with me in the dream, don't tell me about your dream. If you made love to me in the dream, you have my attention.

That's the only time I care about your dream. If you made love to me in the dream, you have my attention. That's the only time I care about your dream. Other than that, zero Fs given. Let's open it up. 0800 dials at M. What are you guys convinced that people are pretending to enjoy? Someone just texted her and they just said olives. I love olives, but yeah, I get it. What's going on the list?

You can text us as well, 9696, and we'll be back with your contributions next. There's so many good ones coming through. Bree and Clint. This question is such a funny one, and you guys are absolutely killing it on the text machine. But we've asked you guys, what are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy?

I've got another one. Yes. Self-service checkouts. Oh, no? I've got another one. Yes. Self-service checkouts. Oh, no, I love a self-service checkout. What? If I have not many groceries. No. They used to just do your groceries for you

and now they're like, you'd love to do this yourself, wouldn't you? No, I don't. Actually, no. You've got a point. It's like... I don't want to go to work. Exactly.

Exactly. We had a perfectly good system. Do my groceries for me. And also do my gas for me. There is an opportunity though to put... Careful. I'm just joking. Some great texts coming through.

What are you guys pretending to enjoy? Someone said work. I'm actually just pretending to work so that I can get paid and leave. That's smart. Smart. Someone else said, honestly, I swear people are just pretending to enjoy laying on those damn Sharkty mats. Oh. Those things are horrible.

Yeah. And standing on them as well. Quite a few people texting in the Sharkty mat, actually, and I'd have to agree with them. Let's go around. There's a bunch of texts. What are your guys' favourite ones? What are you liking off the list? I saw one and I was 100% on board.

Aperol Spritz. Me too. It tastes like fly spray. It's so bitter. I don't get it. 100% on board. Aperol Spritz. Me too. It tastes like fly spray. It's so bitter. I don't get it. You don't like an Aperol Spritz? Nah, I hate it. I'm Italian and I don't get it. Have one in Italy? Delicious. Still just as bad in Italy. The first time I ever had

one, I didn't know what it was. And the colour of it, I was like, yes, that looks amazing. It looks so sweet and delicious. Drink a bit more for the gram. Yeah, it just doesn't taste good. To the person who texted in to, what are you pretending to enjoy? The Bree and Clint show?

Excuse me. No, that's good. No, that's good. Excuse me. Someone else also said, Bree and Clint's Friday Okie. Excuse me. No, that one's fair.

No, that is fair, that one. What about Clint doing a DJ set? That's mean. Oh, this one hits home. No one even texts that in. You just said that. No, no, no, it's here. That's from you.

Someone else said wearing Crocs. Oh, yeah, I'd have to be on board with that one. I do enjoy wearing Crocs. I'd have to be on board. I've been a Crocker for six days. I get this one, craft beer. Some of it's all right. Well, there's some great craft beer,

but then there's also some horrible craft beer. We don't need all the different ones. We don't need the ultra super dark malt one. No. No one needs that. It's like 80% alcohol. There's a really good text here. You drink one sip and you're trollied.

And you've got gout. Someone else texted there and said people are 100% pretending to enjoy ice baths. It's so true. Someone said that people are pretending to enjoy vegetables in their sandwiches. I love, that's so true. I just put the lettuce on because I know I'm meant to. Yeah.

I don't actually ever go, you know what this sandwich needs? Some lettuce. Something green. Some lettuce. Does it taste like anything? Yeah. Like water. It doesn't taste like anything.

Someone said avocado. Rude. No, we enjoy avocado, don't we? Yeah, exactly. I hate avocado. I like avocado. But you don't. I hate it.

It's disgusting. Remember that theory that came out about what avocado, what the texture is like? What is it? What is it? Are you going to ruin it? Don't ruin it. Oh, yeah. Hey, I didn't come up with it.

Someone else texted through things. What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? Someone just said yoga. Yoga. Marmite. Marmite. Marmite. Hard-boiled eggs.

Yeah. Yeah, they're good. They just apparently smell. I like a soft-boiled egg. The hard-boiled egg, there's no joy in that. I don't understand that one. You don't like a hard-boiled eggs? Yeah. Yeah, they're good. They just apparently smell. I like a soft-boiled egg. The hard-boiled egg, there's no joy in that. I don't understand that one. You don't like a hard-boiled egg? Although it's fine.

They do make you fart. Unwrapping it. Hard, hard. When the middle's all chalky and... Oh, yeah. Too hard's not good. Oh, this one's so true. Someone said meal prepping.

Do people enjoy that or is that a necessity? No one enjoys doing it. No one's... Oh, they've been enjoying... But you know people that put it on their Instagram. They're like, I've made 28 meals for the next however many weeks and I'm going to put them in my fridge like this. Taylor Swift.

No. No. No. The Barbie movie. Oh, what? Oh, come on. The Barbie movie had some good points. Absolutely.

Mothers-in-law. Someone said caviar. Must be nice. I've never tried it. Yeah, we wouldn't know. Must be bloody nice. Hello up there in your ivory tower. Guys, you know what I'm eating but I don't even enjoy it that much?

Caviar. Caviar. I eat it because it's expensive. That is exactly why rich people eat it. The only thing that makes it palatable is the French champagne, darling. Bring me my monocle. Bree and Clint. Zed in Bree and Clint.

That's the winner of Birthday Banger today, Felix. Isn't it funny? From the year 2000, Bahamin, Who Let The Dogs Out. That song now means getting your toes out. Yeah, which I didn't know for... Who let the dogs out? Damn, you got the dogs out. Dogs are out.

Bree and Clint. Of course you know the All Blacks are playing on Sunday morning against the Irish. And of course you know it's do or die. This is it for the All Blacks. It is the do or die match to go through in this Rugby World Cup. Earlier this week, actually, we called the bog Irish bar and crusher. It's just to get an Irish take on the whole situation. Yeah.

I was expecting a little bit more support, but instead ended up getting absolutely roasted by an Irish lass called Fiona. We're just calling in to see how you're feeling about Sunday and what the plans are for the bog on Sunday morning. To beat the all blacks and party on all day. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, Fiona. Yes, Fiona.

Is there another plan? Give it to him, Fiona. There is another plan. You're in Christchurch. Surely. Absolutely, yeah. I'm feeling green. You're pouring the blackest

of Guinness in there. Surely, surely while you're here in New Zealand, your blood runs black. And that's the only black stuff we're supporting. I thought two days out from the game, we've got to give Fiona a call just to see if she's changed her tune a bit.

You know my favourite thing about all this is your plan going into it was to absolutely rip into this bar and give it to them, haze them a little bit, and Fiona turns around and schooled you for a six. I got owned. You got owned. Well and truly. Let's call Fiona again. But let's call her back. Maybe she's feeling more generous. Maybe she's had a change of heart. I got owned. You got owned. Well and truly. Let's call Fiona again. But let's call her back.

Maybe she's feeling more generous. Maybe she's had a change of heart. I don't think so. Let's go back to Christchurch. This is Paul Garris. John speaking. G'day, John. It's Brian Clint from ZM.

We're trying to get a hold of Fiona. Oh, Fiona. She's on day after this. No. Oh, no. Well, he could help us. Excitement knocked her out. Are you aware that she roasted me to a crisp on the radio earlier this week?

And since then has actually gone... I know, I could smell it a mile away. Yeah, you could smell it a mile away. I mean, John, he deserved it. He did deserve it. He was asking for it. He was. Since that roasting, Fiona's actually gone viral on TikTok,

mainly in Ireland as well. The video has reached Irish TikTok and people think Fiona is a national hero. She is. She's going for presidency. I'd vote for her. Put her in. Hashtag Fiona for presidency.

What do you think though? Obviously you're in there at the bog as well. I can hear a strong Irish accent coming from you too. But you'd be supporting the All Blacks, wouldn't you? You'd be keen for the boys in black to do it for the people of Canterbury? No, not really. Mate, their blood runs green.

What's your prediction? The closest thing I'll support New Zealand is Bundy now. He's the closest thing I'll do. Bundy RK and James Lowe. Mate, your team is full of New Zealanders. You had a bloody Kiwi coach. You bloody, might as well put on a black jersey on them,

don't you reckon? I know, but sure, New Zealand was doing nothing with them, you know? They weren't giving me a shot at all and the boys are fierce good. Hey, John, do you have a message for the All Blacks going into Sunday's match?

Bring plenty of fecking tissues. Bring plenty of fecking tissues' tissues. Bring plenty of feckin' tissues. All right, John. God, the Irish have got the bants, don't they? Will you be in at the bog on Sunday morning? Oh, yeah. I'll be standing next to Fiona. Yeah.

Yeah. The last line of Irish defence. Are you going to be celebrating, John? Oh, jeez, I'll be in the drink before the game starts. There we go. You're doing the Irish proud, John. Nothing but the best. All right, John. Well, jeez, I'll be on the drink before the game starts. There we go. You're doing the Irish proud, John. Nothing but the best. All right, John. Well, best of luck. May the best team win on the day. Thank you for

talking to us this afternoon. No problem. And don't you be too obsessed. Thanks, John. See you later, John. See you later. It's not looking good. Bree and Clint. Ladies and gentlemen, Bree and Clint's Friday ladies and gentlemen oh no

oh no the big boss has just walked into the studio do you reckon he's heard Friday Oki before? I don't know I think they've got us turned off out there so just keep your head down just a few hundred thousand New Zealanders will hear this I don't know. I think they've got us turned off out there. Okay, good. So just keep your head down. Okay, good. Let's just pretend like... Just a few hundred thousand New Zealanders will hear this.

Exactly. So long as our boss doesn't hear it, we're fine. Okay. Okay. Let's just pretend like everything's normal. Chat, chat. Bants, bants. Funny banter.

Oh, he's left. Okay. He's left. Okay, good. Today we're doing Kelly Clarkson. Woo! Full transparency for the audience. Sam, our audio engineer who makes these Friday Okies,

he's very good at it. Him and his wife recently had a second baby, so he's been away from work. Yeah. So we had to pre-record some of these Friday Okies because he was going to be away for a few weeks. Swalla La La was like a last resort. Yeah. And then this is like a last, last resort.

Yeah, this is the last one we've got banked up. And I don't know where the song choice came from me for this, but here we are. This one was hopefully never meant to see the light of day. This was like the back up backup, backup Friday-oke. So just keep that in mind. We didn't want to leave you guys without a Friday-oke. So here we are.

So we're going to play out the backup, backup, backup. You're going to hear them both and then you ring 0800DARLS.M and choose the winner. Feel free to lambast us, roast us, praise us on the text machine as well. If you like, if you want to. But seeing as she chose it. Oh no.

She gets to go first. I can't even remember how I went. This is Breeze Kelly Clarkson. Good luck. Mr. Know-It-All, well, you think you know it all. Oh, no. Don't know a thing at all, ain't it? Ain't it something you're always told?

Make it stop. Somebody tells you something about you. Think that they know you more than you do. So you take it down to the pill to swallow. Come on, bring it home. Mr. Bring me down, will you? You like to bring me down, don't you? But I ain't laying down, baby.

I ain't going down. Can't nobody tell me how it's going to be. Nobody going to make a fool out of me, baby. You should know that I lead, not follow. Oh, you think that you know me, know me. That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely. Cause baby, you don't know a thing about me. You don't know a thing about me. You don't know a thing about me.

That's how I picture a giant... Oh, it's still going? Bring it down. Bring it down. We've had enough. We've had enough. Claudia, can you tell me? What?

I know Sam's on paternity leave. Did he have time to mix these before he left? Jesus. It's still bloody going. Is it done now? It's done now. Oh, my God. Yeah, he mixed them.

You know what that sounded like? It sounded like if a blow-up jumping castle, someone took a knife to it and it was deflating. That's what it sounded like. I'm hesitant to criticise it because I haven't heard mine yet. It can't be worse than that. Did you hear that? I felt like a hundred knives were going into my bloody ears.

Man, I wish Sam's kid was born a week earlier. Oh. I can see why this was the back up, back up, back up. Let's just rip the bandaid off Oh mate, it can't be worse It can't be worse I think you might be surprised I think you're safe

Let's just give it a go Mr Know-It-All Well you think you know it all But you don't know a thing at all Ain't it something y'all When somebody tells you something about you Think that they know you more than you do So you take it down, another pill to swallow

Mister bring me down, well you You like to bring me down, don't you But I ain't laying down, baby I ain't going down Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be Nobody gonna make a fool out of me, baby. I ain't going down. Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be. Nobody's gonna make a fool out of me, baby. You should know that I lead, not follow. Oh, you think that you know me, know me. That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely. Cause baby, you don't know a thing about me You don't know a thing about me

You ain't got the right to tell me No, that'll do, that'll do, that'll do. You don't know a right to tell me Mate, it was so much better than mine. It was so flat. Mate, but so much better than mine. I can admit when I've been beat and I was so flat. Mate, but so much better than mine. I can admit when I've been beat and I was beat badly. I don't know if there is a winner today.

And you know the sad part? Yeah. Look, I'm an honest friend and yours wasn't much good either, but you beat me by a country mile. Someone said, shit, my dog just lifted his head, howled out loud when listening to Breeze and then ran outside. Someone said, I think Bree loses the next three rounds for that. lifted his head, howled out loud when listening to Breeze and then ran outside. Someone said, I think Bree loses the next three rounds for that.

I'd have to agree with you. Are we going to get any votes? I don't know if we're going to get any votes this week, but the phone lines are now open on 0800-DIALS-ZM. Bree and Clint. Welcome back to Friday Okie, everybody. Ladies and gentlemen, Bree and Clint's Friday Okie, everybody. Ladies and gentlemen, Rian Clint's Friday Okie. I rarely get genuinely embarrassed on this show anymore,

but I can say to you I'm genuinely embarrassed this week. The Kelly Clarkson classic. We did Mr Know-It-All. Well, I was genuinely embarrassed. And until I read this text, someone said, had a really shitty, stressful day, but Friday Oki put a smile on my face, so you're both winners in my book.

That makes me feel so much better. That's fine then. Just to know that that person has gotten a laugh. Well, I'm glad someone did. This was Breeze. Oh, you think that you know me, know me. That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely. Did you hear that harmony in there?

Yeah, it's nice. Far out. And this was mine. Oh, you think that you know me, know me. That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely. Such a good Kelly Clytheson song too. Let's go to our five voters who have called through to vote this

afternoon and we're going to start with Ingrid. Kia ora Ingrid. Hi Ingrid. Hi guys, it's me again. Welcome back. Welcome back. Ingrid the two time birthday banger competitor. Absolutely. And I have no room to talk because I'm tone deaf.

God, I love you, Ingrid. Can you call the show every week, please? Who are you voting for this afternoon, Ingrid? Well, you know, when I heard the other caller saying, you put a smile on my doll, you did that too. But I'm going to go with the Gil. Sorry, Fetch. Gil Power, three, it's you.

Oh, Ingrid, I knew I loved you. Thank you. Call back again soon, okay, Ingrid? No worries. See you, babes. You have a great weekend. No votes for Fetch. Let's go to Kieran on 0800 dial ZM.

Hi, Kieran. Hi, Kieran. Hi, Kieran. Hey, guys. The kids and I are in the car and we wanted to give you our thoughts. Okay, yeah, lay it on us. Oh, no. Here we go. What's happening, Kieran?

Well, boys, what did you think that Brady sounded like? A broken down train. A broken down train. A broken down train. I actually think that's quite a compliment, actually, considering how I did sound. Any other feedback, boys? Apparently, Clint, you were more like a fixed train,

but I'm not sure about that. Okay, so which train are they voting for, the broken train or the fixed train? They're on the Clint train. They're on the Clint train. They're on the Clint train. I'm not surprised, but we appreciate the feedback. Thanks, boys. Thanks, guys.

Have a great weekend. That's one apiece. We'll go to Charlie on our $800 at M. Hello, Charlie. Hello, Charlie. Hello, guys. What are we thinking this week, Charlie? Give it to us straight.

Don't sugarcoat it, please. We can handle it. Pretty tough decision, eh? Yeah. Well, I reckon I'll give it to Bree. Charlie? Yeah, you just went all out there, eh? Yeah, she put it all out there, eh? I literally let it

all hang out and it was ugly. Thank you, Charlie. I'll take that pity vote. You have a great weekend, man. Kiani's on the $800. Kiona Kiani. Hi, Kiani. Kiona. How old are you, Kiani? Eight. Eight.

It is, absolutely. Who are you voting for, Kiani? Clint. Yes. See, kids are smart. They know what they're talking about. Yeah, I always said that, Kiani. I always said that. You knew what you were talking about.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Kiani. We've got one last vote. And, Nicole, you're going to decide the Kelly Clarkson Friday-oke. The power is yours. Hi, Nicole. And, Nicole, you're going to decide the Kelly Clarkson Friday-oke. The power is yours. Hi, Nicole. Right. Bree, you sounded like you were constipated.

It was quite painful. Nicole, I am. Are you spot on? It says it all. Yeah, no, it does. It does. So with that in mind, now that you know that she is constipated. Does that come into the decision?

Yeah, who's your vote for? Yeah, no, I'm sorry, I have to go to Clint this week. Normally I'd back your Bree, but Jesus, that was awful. Mate. I agree. I agree. I love that comment, but shit, that was awful. me. That's why I'm leaving you lonely. Lonely.

Oh, I love that comment, but shit, that was awful. Thanks, Nicole. We appreciate it. Hey, Nicole, I'll get on that Metamucil, alright? I'll get that Metamucil down me. Yeah. Get on the Kiwi Crush. Okay, a Brie and Clint oath we will take right now. We will not do another Fridayoke until

our professional audio engineer Sam is back from paternity leave and we bring you a classic. No more scraping the barrel. Also, no more Kelly Clarkson. Too hard. What was I thinking? We could have done Behind Those Hazel Eyes. That would be a great song. Mate, it would have been way harder.

Actually, to be honest. At least it would have been a good song. True. But actually, to be honest, it's just... At least it would have been a good song. Yeah, true. True. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger. Here we go for a Friday birthday banger.

The number one songs on your 16th birthdays. And we're about to turn this volume up to 100. Okay. So I'm trying to get the people... Okay, David Gitter. Trying to get the people ready for a weekend. Good, good, good. Lex, you ready to turn the volume up to one hundy? Let's go, sexy Lexie.

Oh, mate, honey and wine, mate. Honey and wine. Yes! That's the vibe. Oh, I just nearly called you sex. Lex. Yeah, sex and Lex. Not the first time.

You're all good, it's fine. Lex, not the first time. I like your vibe. Lex, what's your birthday? It's the 20th of November, 1984. Right. That means you were 16, Lex, in the year 2000, and I have a feeling like your birthday banger is going to match your energy.

I was right. You get the Baja Men and men and who let the dogs out. Lex, what do you reckon? I mean, you know, my three-year-old likes that song. Oh, good. It's a bit of fun for a Friday. It fits a Friday. If you win, we'll call you Rex instead of Lex.

All right. Wait there. We're going to do a birthday banger for Danny. Kia ora, Danny. Hi, Danny. Kia ora. How's your week been, Danny? Not too bad.

One more day of the working week to go. Oh, well, we're going to try and get you there with a good birthday banger. What's your birthday? 20th of April, 1997. All right. That means you were 16 in 2013. And on the 20th of April April 2013, this was number one.

We've had a bit of Daft Punk on the show today. You get Daft Punk and Pharrell get lucky. What do you reckon, Denny? It's okay. Yeah? It's just not like, I don't know if it was 16-year-old Denny, but it's all right. Yeah, I see what you're saying. I see.

Okay, wait there for a second. We're going to do one more birthday banger for Eddie. Kia ora, Eddie. Hello, Eddie. Hi, guys. How's it going? Good, thanks. What are you up to for the weekend, Ed?

Not too much at all. Just hanging out by myself, to be honest. You going to be watching the All Blacks? Oh, absolutely. I mean, what are you doing if you're not watching the All Blacks? It's such a good time, too. You know? Eight o'clock on a Sunday morning.

Yep. Have some breakfast. Get a coffee, not too bad. Yeah, love it. Rip into it. Okay, Eddie, what's your birthday? 6th September 1996. All right, that means you were 16 in 2012.

And back in 2012, this had a number one hit. That's Wings from Little Mix. Not bad, not bad. Not bad. You like it, Eddie? I mean, I don't think Get Lucky's better. Yeah, I reckon it is too. Yeah.

I like that song from Little Mix though. We're going to choose between Daft Punk, Little Mix and Baja Men. What do you reckon? I'm going Who Let The Dogs Out 100% for a Friday. Who let the dogs out? I'm going Who Let The Dogs Out too. Hey, Lex. Friday. Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? I'm going who let the dogs out too.

Yeah. Hey, Lex. You're the winner of birthday banger. Yeah, sexy Lexi. Get in, my friend. Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?

Who? Who? Who? Oh, get ready to send it, New Zealand. Brian Clintz. He's the Baha Min on Zedim. Brian Clint. Zedim, Brian Clint.

That's the winner of Birthday Banger today, Felix. Isn't it funny? From the year 2000, Baha Min, Who Let Dogs Out. That song now means getting your toes out. Yeah, which I didn't know for... Who let the dogs out? Damn, you got the dogs out. Dogs are out.

Bree and Clint. The results of the 2023 general election will begin coming in. Keeping you across the numbers live on TVNZ1 will be Jack Tame and John Campbell and others and Jack and John join us in studio right now. Kia ora fellas. Kia ora. Kia ora. Kia ora. Makes me nervous.

Makes me nervous having actual broadcasters in the studio. But our friend Matty, Matty's over here all the time. He is. You say our friend. Yeah. Our associate. Our colleague, our colleague Matty. Your best friend. Yeah. Well, no, our, yeah. Our associate. Yeah, yeah. Our colleague, our colleague Matty. Your best friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You get lost in the details and descriptors, don't you? Yeah, yeah, he's all right. Let's talk about voting. First of all, Jack and John, have you guys voted yet? I haven't, but I will. I have. You have voted. Yeah, yeah.

I went and voted the other day. Just because I can see that there's something in the whole voting on the day thing, but I don't love queues. And it was just, it was super easy. It was great. Have you voted, Clint? No, I haven't yet. Have you voted, Bree?

Not yet. I like to go down and- You're going to though, right? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Get out there and vote. We've been encouraging people to educate themselves as best they can to vote. Do I know who I'm voting for?

Not really. It's tomorrow. I'm still confused. But that's all right because it means you're thinking about it as opposed to the tribal people who vote a certain way because of their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents. I like the fact you're too wide about this. But I would also say to your listeners, vote.

We were saying, we've been talking about this a lot, Graham Hart, New Zealand's richest man, a multi-billionaire, whatever, he gets one vote. The poorest youngest person listening to your show who's old enough to vote gets one vote. So democracy is a wonderful thing if you participate. You have to do it, though. You have to do it. John Campbell, would you agree with me that the greatest controversy this election is

that we don't get that little sticker that says I voted? I think it's terrible. It's terrible. But you get it if you're overseas. You get it if you're Jacinda Ardern or Lorde and you're voting in New York City. Because they're leftovers. They're leftovers from 2017. They are.

They're leftovers. They're stickers. Yeah, yeah. I heard they're giving out paper straws instead of stickers, which I'm just ropeable about. Ropeable, bro. You know? I'm like, what am I going to do with this?

I don't know. Absolutely nothing. I don't know. Jack, last time we saw you, you were being threatened on live TV by New Zealand's oldest politician, Winston Peters. Is he going to be a guest on your coverage tomorrow night? Have you guys kissed and made up?

Well, no. So we have seen each other since, and things seem fine. They seem as cordial as they are with any other politician. The thing about Winston Peters is that history shows us on election night he is as mercurial as ever. So what he usually does is he comes out, he has all his fans cheering him, he says a couple of kind of nondescript things.

Is it the Duke of Marlborough? Away up north, yeah. And then he disappears. And so there are usually a thousand questions for him and he doesn't answer any on election night. Would that be one in a million? Yeah, absolutely. 100% true.

And sometimes if he's involved in coalition negotiations, he doesn't answer questions for weeks. There are more sensible answers from Elvis than there are from Winston over election period. Can I get a promise from you two that if we do end up in a 2017 situation where Winston Peters is deciding

the fate of the election, that you two will stay on air telethon style, could be for a couple of weeks until we get results. That could be a possibility. I'm reluctant to make a promise. Good on you for trying. Are you allowed to say that on your own?

Yeah, on our show, anything goes. Life is short. Too short to be spending it waiting around. Are either of you expecting any surprises in this election Or do you think the polls are pretty much right And it's a fait accompli I'm looking at Jack I think there's space for a surprise

I think Winston is the one who will have the surprise I think he's going to He takes up so much air time doesn't he He's almost all we've talked about He does in the last six weeks right But for the last three years We haven't heard much out of him. So he's kind of timed his run from a strategic perspective.

And whatever you think of his politics, and I suspect a lot of your listeners won't think very much, he is a master at playing the game. You know, this is a guy now who is kind of rallying anti-co-governance sentiment. In 1996, he won every Maori electorate. So he has gone from that to this. So there is nothing that he is not capable of

in order to manoeuvre himself into a position where he is required. I totally agree. He's the best at playing the game that he plays. Get him on Celebrity Treasure Island. Mate, get him on Celebrity Treasure Island. He'll take out the whole thing. And we won't even know that he's won. He'll get voted out.

He'll come back in the last episode and go, boom, I've won it. Refuse to do an interview. Exactly. He goes, no interviews. I'm taking my money. Don't look me in the eye. Okay, well, it is a huge decision-making weekend for the next three to four years of our country.

Not only will we know the result of the election, we'll also know the result of the Rugby World Cup quarterfinal. What are you guys more excited for, the election result or the All Blacks vs Ireland result? You know, the All Blacks vs Ireland is 8am as kick-off on Sunday. Yes, it is. So I've got to work on election night until, like, you know, midnight, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock in the morning,

and then I have to host the post-election show. Guess what time the post-election show kicks off Sunday morning? 8am, baby! No, it doesn't! I'll be watching, Jack! Sure you will, Jack. I promise. Yeah, I'll be watching Jack I'm sure you will Yeah I'll be tuning in We're looking forward to your coverage It kicks off tomorrow night at 7pm

On TVNZ1 Clint that's so kind of you thank you It'll be the most entertaining part Of this election to be honest I'm looking forward to it as well You guys always do a fantastic job So we can't wait Jack Tame and John Campbell, good to see you guys.

Thank you so much. Thanks, guys. Bree and Clint. Look, tomorrow is the last day that you can get in and vote. Have your say in this country's future, and we encourage you to go vote. Yep, absolutely. If you haven't already.

Get in there, have your say. It's so important. Yeah, so go to the polls tomorrow. If you haven't already, get in and vote. I'm so excited, mainly because we don't have to watch any more of the debates on TV. Because, damn, I'm over it. I don't know about you. They need to.

There needs to be really good news coverage. But, God, it sucks up a lot of oxygen. But, God, it sucks the air out of the room, doesn't it? It's everywhere. The billboards, the news articles. I think we're all just a bit debated out. Yeah. You know, there's just been a lot of debates and there was another debate that took place

last night between the two Chris's. Yep. And a lot of people are talking about this one particular part of the debate where both Chris's were asked about how much they spend on their weekly groceries. How much do you think the two Chris's said they spend on their weekly groceries? They've both got families. Although Chris Hipkins is separated from his partner and I don't think the kids live

with him full time. But Chris Luxon has a couple of kids surely his grocery bill is like mine and it's it's 250 300 a week let's take a listen as to what the two Chris's said they spend on groceries for the week how much do you spend a week on food um I spend I'm personally shopping every Sunday down in Wellington, probably about 60 bucks. What about you, Chris Lipman? Well,

I live by myself. Certainly a lot more than 60 dollars. I live by myself in my apartment in Wellington. It would be probably three or four hundred

dollars a week if I combined all of the spending that I did on food in a week. 60 dollars? He said he lives by himself in an apartment

in Wellington. Even if you are living by yourself. Yeah, not possible. $60. No, that is not possible. Mate, who is on their own and they're spending only $60 on groceries? Not in this economy. Is he at Parliament like 12, 13 hours a day?

And if he is, is he catering at Parliament? He's stealing people's lunch out of the fridge is what he's doing. I wonder if that comment could be enough to cost him the election. Because they go, oh, you're just not in touch. You're not in touch. There's already the perception that he as a wealthy person

is not in touch with the everyday New Zealander. I'm not saying that he's not. I'm saying that's one of the overarching perceptions. But then you come out and you think that groceries cost $60 a week. Yeah, that's just, and it's not even like it's close. I can't even get to the grocery store for $60 a week. My car won't physically get, nothing is $60 a week anymore. It wasn't even in the ballpark.

No. You know, like it wasn't even close. If you said I live by myself. I've just got an apartment in Wellington where I work. My family are in Auckland. Yeah. I work down in Wellington. So it's about $150 a week for me.

I'd probably be like, okay, yeah, I can kind of see that. $60? You can't buy milk, cheese and bread for $60. Jeez. Anyway, so I reckon, you know, he knew he'd lost a few people on that comment yeah and he tried to bring him back in with this one that is a cut mate listen you need to listen to taylor swift when she says i need you to calm down right that's really important you gotta listen no i'm not going to calm down about you cutting benefits to give landlords who have plenty tax breaks.

300 landlords do not need a million dollars in tax breaks. People who are living on benefits, you're going to put thousands more children in poverty. Your moral compass is gone. He's trying to bring in the Swift DC. He's trying to bring in the Gen Z culture, yeah. You know what's crazy though? You know what Taylor Swift is like. She's heard about it, she's jumped on it,

and she's released the Christopher Lux and Taylor's version. I need you to calm down. No, I'm not going to calm down. I like it. Mate, listen, you need to listen to Taylor Swift. Listen, please. There it is, the election. If you haven't already voted, I encourage you, get out there and vote.

Make your vote count. It's so easy. I did it today. I did not have an easy vote card. It could not have been easier. So simple. Bree and Clint. And that's the end of the show.

That's it. Done. Dusted for another week. The Bree and Clint election special is over. We didn't do much, but that is our election special. We tried to avoid it at all costs, to be honest.

Yeah. You're getting bombarded with it enough. You don't need it here. You already know who you're going to vote for, and if you don't, you'll figure it out when you're in the polling booth. Eeny, meeny. What is my favourite colour? That one.

Blue, red, yellow, green. Green. What are you doing? Vote. Get out there and vote. Make your vote count. You have a say, so go use it. It's really easy.

It is not intimidating. There are a bunch of lovely old retired people who are running all of the polling booths. It is awesome. They'll make you feel welcome. They will not make you feel silly. You do not need anything. You don't need a driver's license. You don't need a passport.

Just yourself. You just need your name. Yeah. That's it, and they'll figure it out for you. You have a voice. Use your voice and have a say. Have a great weekend, everybody. Go the All Blacks.
