Make some noise for the original Say that's Bree and Clint Welcome to the Friday Bree and Clint show where today we're coming to you live from Horizon, the new hotel at Sky City. Oh, it is beautiful over here, Clint. It's an extra relaxed Friday, I think. We're in our robes. We're in the suite. We're looking out over downtown Auckland. We can see the Harbour Bridge. And somebody just said to us,

Hey, I know it's early, but do you guys want some champagne? And we said, is the sky blue? Question for you. Obviously, you're sitting in that lovely, big, comfy chair over there. I'm sitting, what would you call this thing? Couch. But like a fancy couch. Does it remind you of anything?

Um, it kind of looks like a Clint. Oh. Paint me like one of your French girls. Oh, you're doing the Kate Winslet on Titanic. That's what the couch looks like. I was going to say it looks like a cream version of, do you remember that couch that was on the ad for the biscuits back in the 90s where it was lips and it swallowed the person?

Was it for Toppy Pops or Tim Tams or something? Yes, it does look like that. Do you remember that ad? It's nice. The person gets swallowed by the couch. Well, I'm keen for it all today. We have a very fun show on the way for you, including your chance to be here for a night, a stay at

Horizon as well. We're going to give one of those away later on in the show. Yeah, Elevator Roulette, we're calling it, and you'll win two nights accommodation, breakfast for two adults, and a $300 voucher for the grill restaurant. And we're in the lap of luxury today, so prepare to hear a lot about that. I'm sorry in advance.

Right now, it's time for a round of Tradie versus Lady. It's Tradie versus Lady. Three, two, one, let's go.

We do like to make them battle it out every Friday, the Tradies and the Ladies, and today is no different. Our Lady is calling from Auckland City. They are 23 years old, and at eight years old, they got their hand stuck in an elevator. Welcome to the show, Shelley. Hello. Shelley, how did you manage that?

It was stuck in an escalator. You know, the hand railing, yeah. The hand railing goes like back in. I just let my hand follow and it got stuck in there and it was like a minute and someone had to come and pull it out, yeah. Did you lose your hand? I was always terrified I was going to lose a hand or a foot on one of those things when I was a kid.

Oh, no. No, just a lot of skin, yeah. Okay. Just a lot of skin. No, no big deal. You're taking a note, Tradi, today. From Wellington, they're 34 and they're an only child, but somehow they also have nine siblings.

Welcome to the show, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Kia ora. Can you explain? Yeah. So, only child to my mum and dad and then they separated and had numerous other children. Wow.

So who had what? So, six of my mum and my dad married into one child and had another two kids. Do you ever feel like you're the reason that they broke up? Like they had you and then they went off and had plenty more kids with other people and they were perfectly happy?

No, definitely not. They were young, they broke up when I was a baby. Yeah, right. Apologies for him, Hayley. Babies can bring out the worst in people. Let's go with names as buzzers today. Shelley and Hayley, the first person to three correct answers gets $50 cash in Tradiverse Lady.

Good luck, everyone. Question number one. We're broadcasting from Horizon this afternoon, the new hotel at Sky City. What is the name of the skyscraper at the centre of Sky City in Auckland? Hayley. Hayley got it first. Hayley got it first. That's the Sky Tower.

It's the Sky Tower. The Sky Tower won to the tradies. Question number two. In what year did World War II end? Was it 1937, 1945 or 1958? Hayley. Hayley. It was close, but Hayley, yeah.

1945. 1945. She is on the money, away and flying. Two to the tradies so far. Here comes question number three. Donald Trump has said no more debates after his disastrous last showing. Who did Donald Trump go up against in the debate? Shelley.

I'm going to say Shelley got in. Camilla Harrison. Oh. What do you reckon, Clint? I'm going to give you a second stab at that, just to be fair. We can't accept Camilla Harrison, unfortunately. It is close. Shelley, it could be a quick game and all done if you can get the answer to this.

Do you know the correct answer? Camilla Harris. That's it. She's, it could be a quick game and all done if you can get the answer to this. Do you know the correct answer? Camilla Harris. That's it. She's got it. Oh, no. That's a win for the ladies. She's a lady. Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady.

Well done, Shelly. You're the tradie first lady champion today. You're taking home $50 cash and a much needed win for the ladies. I think it might have been the tradies, that one. Oh, was it? Yeah, I thinkies, that one. Oh, was it? Yeah, I think that's a mistake. Oh, good. That's very honest of you, Shelley.

Hayley will hook you up with that $50 cash. Well done, mate. Yes. Bree and Clint, we're live from Horizon at Sky City on ZM. Bree and Clint. There's a big boxing fight on this weekend featuring the up-and-coming star of New Zealand boxing. It could be David T, and then Shane Cameron,

and then Joe Parker, and now David Nika. And David Nika joins us in studio right now. Good day, mate. Is that big raps? Oh, man, I love it. Let's do this thing. Can you feel that, Clint? What's that?

Athleticism finally in the studio. Hey, what do you mean finally? Well, let's be real. You and I. Yeah. Quite controversial, this fight that you're having this weekend. The person that you were meant to fight had to pull out because they were on drugs uh yeah he tested positive for something naughty so it's like no no yeah right yeah exogenous testosterone

which I'm pretty sure gets like needled into your butt is that steroids it essentially a form of yeah yeah I as far as I'm concerned, it basically improves recovery and helps with building muscle. So it's like a young man's hormone, and old mate was about 38. Oh, right. Like, we tried to sweep it under the rug and make the fight still happen because he was the opponent that we wanted. Wait a second.

You were willing to be like, I don't really care. I can still beat you, even though. It's real funny. We've got Manuka Doctor on as our naming rights sponsor and i was like how cool would it be yeah if i beat him with raw natural manuka energy i was like you'd have all the gym bros taking manuka honey if you did that oh they'd be injecting themselves with honey i use it every day i use it every day i use this on my bum every day too i actually heard a funny rumor about you that you might want to have a fight like a celebrity boxing match.

She did some training with Shane Cameron. You did, didn't you? Yeah. Do you know what? It came past my ear. Oh, no. And I said, why doesn't Lexi, my partner, Lexi Thornberry, fight Bree? That sounds like my worst nightmare.

Man. That sounds like a horrible idea, David. I've been waiting for this moment to bring it up and I'm going to stumble all over it. I'll manage you in this situation. I'll manage you. Let me deal with this, okay? We accept the fight as long as Brie can take some exogenous testosterone.

No, you know what's funny is you know who they tried to get me to say yes to fight? Emma Twigg. Emma Twigg, yeah. Who then has just won medals at this recent Olympics. I've seen Lexi. In no way would it be even. David,

you're a cruiserweight, is that correct? Yes. Tommy Fury is a cruiserweight. Would you ever fight him? We've sparred, actually. Have you? Funnily enough, it was the same day that he injured his rib. No way. I'm not sure if he pulled out of a fight, but he's actually really good good He's a good fighter

Is he? Yeah Because I wanted to ask you that He's not a fully fledged cruiserweight He should be fighting at light heavyweight In my opinion But he's a real deal And Jake Paul is a real deal

Believe it or not He can fight It's just the fact that he's Kind of picking these opponents That obviously you can make a buck off What are your thoughts on him fighting Mike Tyson? It's a money grab and it's going to look really bad for Mike.

I don't know. I hope Mike Tyson absolutely deals to him but it's one of those fights where it's like, okay, Mike's 60. You don't know him. And he's been smoking bud for the last who knows how long. Would you fight Tommy Fury? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, he's a mate though. Yeah, I don't think I'd, I don't, if the offer came. You don't want

to, you're not gagging to. Yeah. Would you fight Jake Paul? I'd... If the offer came, of course. You don't want to. You're not gagging to. Would you fight Jake Paul? I'd much rather fight Jake Paul. I think everyone wants to spank him. And would you fight Mike Tyson? No, no. Out of respect. Out of respect.

Fair enough. Well, it's all going down this weekend. We're backing you. We reckon you're going to dominate. We're so excited for you, mate. I can't wait. It's cool to have high-level boxing back in New Zealand. It's been a long time between drinks.

We had it so good with Joe Parker for so long. He can't wait. It's cool to have high level boxing back in New Zealand. It's been a long time between drinks. We had it so good with Joe Parker for so long. He was fighting everybody and then there's been a bit of a dry spell since then. So this is really exciting. Yeah, we're bringing back big time boxing to New Zealand and with a platform and partner DAZN, that's spelled D-A-Z-N, we have a

global platform to stream these fights on. So I think it's pay-per-view across Australia and New Zealand, but the rest of the world can watch it for free. So this is like's pay-per-view across Australia and New Zealand, but the rest of the world can watch it for free. So this is like a whole new chapter, the first time DAZN has entered and helped out with a fight in New Zealand. So really exciting. Very exciting.

Very exciting. We'll be tuning in. Just before you go, if Brie does do a fight, would you do a couple of rounds sparring with her to get her ready to go? Do you want to – I could tell you right now if you punch harder than Lexi or not. If you want to punch me in the stomach once, I can tell you right here. Oh punch harder than Lexi or not if you want to punch me in the stomach once I can tell you right here and right now Oh actually I shouldn't feel bad Just do the stomach not the ribs

Oh you've got a fight on Saturday Come on man let's do this Okay I'll come to you As hard as you can Are you left or right handed? I'm right handed Are you sure? You know I can see you getting ready You're going to really wind up As hard as you can. Left or right-handed? I'm right-handed. Right-handed. Okay. Are you sure? I can see you getting ready.

You're going to really wind up. As hard as you can. As hard as I can. Not bad. Definitely not as hard as Lexi, though. It's not bad. My hand hurt. It's harder than a lot of the guys across at Hauraki, to be honest. You hear that, boys?

You hear that, lads? Dave and Nika, best of luck this weekend. Good to see you, man. Thank you, guys. Enjoy the manuka honey. Thank you very much. Brie and Clint. We are live from a very, very nice hotel.

We're at Horizon in Sky City at the moment. And Brie, I believe you're in the bath. No, we can't hear you. Oh, you'll have to come back from the bath. Turns out the bath, the hotel room is so big that the bath is outside of microphone range. There she is. Guys, I have to report. I just sat in the bathtub.

It is the biggest bathtub I've ever been in, in my whole life. I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Like it was that big. Room for two? Oh, there's room for six. Yeah, nice. It's six. Yeah, nice. It's enormous. Well, yes, very nice way to spend a Friday afternoon.

Speaking of things that are very nice, especially to do with your partner, I read this interesting article where a couple was talking about the secret to their happy marriage. Okay. It was a big bathtub. No, I'm kidding. But that is a good tip. A big bathtub and multiple shower heads,

which this hotel also has, because I checked. Right. But they said they have a specific rule in their marriage that they reckon keeps them both sane. Oh, this is not like a spring break situation, like that movie Hall Pass? Yeah, no. Well, we've talked about that

on our show before but no they said something they have always done in their marriage i think they've been married for like 12 years okay is they agreed at the start that they would have separate gym memberships to separate gyms to separate. Okay. And the reason they said for that is they don't want to see each other at the gym. They want to have their own thing, their own gym where they go, where they don't have to see each other because they see enough of each other already. Seems a bit over the top to me. Do they want to pretend while they're at the gym, like innocently, but do they want to pretend that they're hot and single?

Well, maybe. You know how you might exchange flirting glances with somebody across the weights floor or something like that? Is that what they're hoping for? Maybe it's that little piece of their single life that they can kind of live vicariously through going to the gym by themselves. You and I are both very red, very sweaty people when we exercise.

Perhaps the reason they want separate gym memberships is because their partner gets the ick from seeing them exercise. Well, I mean, that's a red flag. What, if your partner gets the ick from seeing... Are you telling me you think your partner wouldn't get the ick from seeing you exercise? Oh, no, I think that's 100% the case. But, you know, in spite of how I look when I exercise, we're still together. Yeah, okay, I see what you mean. I look like a beetroot when I exercise.

So do I. Yeah. I'm saying from one beetroot to another. Like, I'm not criticising you. I'm trying to relate to you. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's good.

If it works for them, it works for them. Yeah. You hear of couples who have separate bathrooms, and that's part of their marriage set up, and they never want each other in their bathroom spaces. It's a different sink. We've even talked to people in the past who have marriages with separate bedrooms

because that's what works, whether it's because of snoring or because of work hours or just because you want a little bit of peace and quiet at the end of the day and you want to have your own room. Totally. I get it. I think you should do what works for your relationship. Yeah. And have the rule.

If that rule – I don't even know if your gym is further away from home than your partner's gym. Yeah, who gets the better gym? Who gets the closer, who gets the better gym? There's so many things. I feel like you could just offset your gym schedules. But you know what? If that's what works for you, that's what works for you.

That's what their rule is. I thought we could throw it out there on 0800DIALZM. Do you have a certain rule in your relationship that you have implemented that you know works for you guys? Keeps you guys on the straight and narrow. Separate holidays? Do you reckon there's couples doing that? Maybe. Maybe every second year

you get to go on... Like every five years you get to go on a solo holiday. Maybe. On like a little eat, pray, love situation. I don't mind that idea. Whatever it is, look, it's a judgment-free space. We just want to know what works in your relationship. If there's a secret to your marriage

or relationship that keeps you guys sane, we'd love you to text through and share it with us. 0800 dial ZM or you can phone us. No, that's our phone number. You can text us on 9696.

We'd love to hear from you. Maybe coming to stay at Horizon for a weekend. Separate hotel stays. Yeah. Tell us about it. Brie and Clint. We want to know what keeps your marriage alive this afternoon. What is the rule that you have implemented into your relationship

or marriage that is integral for your relationship going the distance? Brie talked about a couple who confessed that their secret is separate gym memberships to separate gyms so they never see each other working out. Yeah, they look at it as it's our time. I don't want you to be

involved in my time. That's me time. I think it's more sinister than that. I think one of them has a really hot personal trainer and they don't want the other one to know about it. Whether they're doing something with that personal trainer or not, they like to keep the dream one to know about it. Whether they're doing something with that personal trainer or not, they like to keep the dream alive. You're watching too much Selling Sunset.

Yeah, but that's reality TV show, Bree. In the title, it's reality. Because we all know reality TV is 100% real. We want to know what's your secret to keeping the relationship on track. Someone texted and said, I have a completely separate life from my husband. It keeps me sane. Fair enough. Fair enough. Someone texted in and said, I have a completely separate life from my husband. It keeps me sane. Fair enough.

Fair enough. Someone else said, separate drinking friends. They don't need to hear about all our good or bad stories. I like that. That's a good one. I like that because then you can have a bit of a whinge about your partner to your drinking buddies as well.

Absolutely. Get it out of your system. Jade's called through on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Jade. Hi, Jade. Hi. Hi. What is the rule that you have in your relationship, Jade?

We have to have two separate forms of entertainment in our house. So I've got a smart TV and he's got a PS5. Oh, okay. Is that so that you don't fight over what you're going to watch at the end of the day? Is that why? Yeah, it's my time. My TV show time and his PlayStation time. Do you have any shared shows, though?

Do you do a game together or watch a TV show together? No. Yeah, we do. We do. We love our Game of Thrones and our House of Dragon, which we've been watching lately. So you've got something that you come together over? Yeah, yeah.

But what I'm hearing, Jade, is you like to have your separate things where you don't have to think about anyone else. You just get to pick exactly what you want to watch or what he wants to play, and that's it. Exactly. Love it. Thanks, Jade. That sounds delightful.

Have a great weekend. Someone texted in and said to us, we get the night off from the kids each month, but separate nights off. So he goes out with his friends for beers, and then I'll go out for cocktails with my friends when it's my turn. I like that. You've prioritised some special time, but not together. That's smart.

That's the important bit. Not together. That's the key here, Clint. Someone else said, been together nearly 20 years. Two kids, still in love, separate personal bank accounts. Only one shared. We both pay in two for bills. Never stop dating your partner And we have separate bedrooms

Love it Wait, that's a curveball at the end there Yeah, they just threw that in at the end That's the juiciest bit You've got separate bedrooms Well, it keeps it exciting maybe True, it means that you can keep all your posters on the wall You don't know if you're going to have a sleepover

You don't know when If you're a man, you don't have to have 47 pillows on the bed You know? You can have a bloke's bedroom with one dirty pillow in the middle of the bed. Some men secretly love it. Jamie's here. Hi, Jamie. Welcome to the show.

Hi, Jamie. Hi. What's the secret, mate? Have you got a relationship that's doing well because of one thing? We were best friends before we were together. So we hung out a lot and we've known each other for a long time before we got married too. So that helped.

Oh, Jamie, don't tell me you're one of those couples that has a real connection. I actually, it's cheesy as. No, I'm joking with you, Jamie. I think that's really sweet. No, I'm serious. Like he'll speak to something and I'll text him and I'll be like, oh, I. I think that's really sweet. No, I'm serious. Like, he'll think of something and I'll text him.

And I'll be like, oh, I was just going to text you that. So you were best friends before you guys got together. What about how people say don't screw the crew? Were you worried about that? No, I screwed the crew. Screw the crew. That's your advice. Just do it.

No, yeah, we were best friends for a long, we've known each other for a long time before we got together. But we're 17 years married, 20 years together, two kids. Oh, no, you've got it sorted. Jamie, are you one of those couples that has like real, like inside jokes and you know what each other's thinking all the time? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can just picture you guys. You make me sick, Jamie. Sick with jealousy.

Oh, we're just super lucky. Yeah, we're really lucky. That's so sweet of Jamie. We love it. That's real sweet. Someone else texted and said, we have a pact in our relationship. No farting in the car or the kitchen.

I think that's pretty fair. That's the secret. No, that's fair. I believe that you should be able to be comfortable in front of your partner, but there needs to be boundaries. Yeah, you've got to. I think kitchen and car is a good boundary. You've got to know where the limits are. Yep.

Bree and Clint. The story that has dominated the headlines this week has been that of dirty old, cheating old, philandering old Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters. The nice guy of rock and roll had to confess that he has fathered a child outside of his marriage, a baby daughter. Yes, who has just been born. Who's just been born. Yeah.

There is all kinds of – when you make a post like that, and he has. He's front-footed it. He posted about it on his Instagram. But that's the only information he gave other than he is planning to stay with his wife. People start filling in the blanks. And I've seen people who have done the timeline and he gave, other than he is planning to stay with his wife, people start filling in the blanks. And I've seen people who have done the timeline and he's gone, okay, the baby's just been born.

That means he conceived the baby nine months ago. Where were the Foo Fighters nine months ago? They were in Australia and New Zealand. Is the mother of Dave Grohl's child here with us in New Zealand right now? Guys, I do have something to say. It could have been me. It could have been me. It could have been you. We're not ruling it out.

Right, okay. We're not ruling it out. Okay. Well, it's nice of you to be honest. It's nice of you to come forward and front foot it, just like Dave. It is good to front foot it. I will be releasing a press release soon.

So don't call me. I'll call you for a comment. Home wrecker. We were talking about this very story with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy, yesterday, and he had all the goss on the story, but he also had a first-hand story about something like this that happened in his life.

Please welcome to the show the other, other love child of Dave Grohl, Dean McCarthy. Hi, Dean. Hi, guys. Yes. This first-hand story is wild that you told us off-air yesterday. So what exactly is it, Dean? Yeah, here's what happened, right.

So my ex-boyfriend, David, lovely guy, he grew up in North Carolina, across the road with his neighbour, like, we'll frame with his little neighbour, all cute little community, right? Anyway, so never saw his neighbor for years. They used to play together in the garden, all that kind of thing. Years later, he's all grown up. They lost touch. And we're in our apartment in LA one day,

and all of a sudden there's a FedEx package arrived. And he sits down. He starts opening the FedEx package. I'm like, oh, we're late. Come on, let's go. Anyway, he looks like he'd seen a ghost. He opens it up. It's a letter from his old neighbor from when they were kids,

and David's dad had died like two months before. And the letter says, hi, I actually might not remember me, but I'm your neighbor. I'm actually your brother. And your dad, she's on your mom with my mom. We lived across the road. I was born. I'm your brother. I my mum. We lived across the road. I was born. I'm your brother.

I knew about you. I knew about him. I knew about your family the whole time. We weren't allowed to tell you that we knew. I just had to not say anything, which is super dark, super dark. And then when David's dad died, that's when he felt like, you know what? I have to share this. And then the neighbor, the brother,

actually he's the CEO of Brinks. He's wildly successful here in America. He's very, very well, huge businessman. So he sent the cover of the magazine, like, I'm not a psychopath. I'm actually him. This is me on the cover of this magazine. I'm your old neighbor from this street. And that is how they found out.

Now, David was super shocked. And now they're very, very close friends. David has accepted him, but that is how they found out. Now David was super shocked and now they're very, very close friends. David just accepted him but that's how it played out. Isn't that so wild? That is so wild. The wildest part to me is that they grew up across the road or next door to each other and they were friends. They were neighbourhood friends

but David never knew that that was his brother. But one of them did know. I know but David never knew. It's even weirder that of them did know. I know, but David never knew. It's even weirder that you would have to be best friends with this kid and be like, you're my friend, but you don't know that you're my brother. It's so weird. Dirty old dad. Dirty old dad.

Dirty old Dave Grohl going old next door and having it off with next door neighbour mum. Can I just, so I get the full picture, Dean. So the mum who had the affair and had David's friend, she obviously knew and she told her son, so he was aware of it. Well, let's hope she knew she had the baby. She should know. She should know.

Did David's mum know that the boy across the road was her husband's son? No. No. So David's family, none of them knew except for obviously the dad. But the other family, they all knew. Yes. And then the mother of the neighbour, she'd passed away. And then, of course, when the father passed away,

that's when the neighbour was like, I need to tell him. So the mother was obviously very shocked. The good, there is a happy, there's a silver lining, right? The silver lining is that the neighbour grew up, like I said, to become wildly successful. And now David spends Christmas on their yacht. And they travel the world, they fly private. Like the neighbour became very, very successful.

And so now David kind of like has a bit of a fabulous life. That's so funny. You did right, Dean. It's all smooth over with a yacht, isn't it? My dad might be a deadbeat, but my new brother is a millionaire. And he's got a yacht. So it's all good. Dean, that is wild.

That is wild. Wild story. Thank you for sharing that. What we want to do with that story this afternoon is invite people to tell us about the deathbed or posthumous secret that they found out about. What was it? Who was it from? Oh, 800 dials at Able.

Or you can text us on 9696. Deathbed Confessions. It might have been a secret that your mum or dad was keeping and they never told you and you found out afterwards. Or they told you at the last minute. Or it could have been grandfather or grandma. Or it could have been your partner. Could have been your partner.

You may have found out a secret about your very partner after they had passed away. Yeah. And you didn't have the chance to be mad at them because they were already gone. Wild. If you're keen to share, we'd love to have you on. Free and Clint.

Dirty Little Secret. And that could not be a better song for the topic that we're doing at the moment. Very fitting. We started off talking about Dave Grohl and his secret baby. His not-so-secret baby. He's had to go on Instagram Dave Grohl and his secret baby His not so secret baby He's had to go on Instagram and tell everybody about his secret baby It's interesting

Have you thought about They waited until she had the baby Yeah For it to be public Yeah Why would you wait that long You know Yeah

Obviously there's a huge team of PR people Working on these things And to be honest it's amazing they were able to keep it a secret for that long. I guess he's not like Justin Bieber. He's not like being followed around by the paparazzi 24-7, but still. At least he has,

if there's a positive, at least he's owned it, I guess. I think he's had to. Only because he had to. Had to. So we're talking to people about people who didn't own it

until the very last minute or they even died with the lie. We want to know your deathbed confessions or the thing that you found out after somebody else passed away. Yeah, someone texted through and they said, I'm a nurse and a few years back I looked after a patient who was on his deathbed and he told me he had a whole other family in Australia that his wife and family in New Zealand didn't know about.

He had two wives and four sons to each wife. He wanted to see his Aussie family once more before he died, so he had to tell his New Zealand family. It went better than I could have imagined, and the New Zealand wife was very accepting of the situation. That is crazy to me. That is crazy. You imagine you're the wife.

You're the New Zealand wife. I am dying. In this moment, I tell you, hey, I've got a whole secret family that you don't know about and I want you to fly them over here

so I can see them one last time. And I'd say to you, well, I'm not using my air points. You know, it's like Dave Grohl's wifeff i don't understand how they're going to make that work i don't understand how because he said in the post i am going to be a father i'm going to be i'm going to raise this daughter that i have how does he you know after he's cooked dinner and done the dishes at his house and then he goes all right i'm off to my

secret girlfriend's house now i can just feel the resentment from here yeah it takes, like, that wife that obviously was really good about it. Takes a bigger person, eh? Takes a bigger person, a very selfless person. Linda has called through on our 800 dials to them. Hi, Linda. Hi, Linda. Hi. Did you get a deathbed confession, Linda?

Eh? Well, it's been funny all through my whole life. We always joked that my brother was born and my parents got married because my mum was pregnant. I'm the middle child, so I was the love child. And my sister was by appointment. You sure? Gotcha. Yeah.

But as it turns out, my mother had an appointment with another gentleman. Like I'm 62, my sister's 59 and we have an older brother as well. We only found this out about four years ago. You're kidding Linda. Wait, so what did you find out? That my sister is only my half-sister not my full sister. What?

That Linda's mum did the dirty and had a baby. You've got different dads. Did your dad ever find out Linda? Well we don't know that. I had a suspicion that he probably did. Yeah. Did you find all this out after your mum had passed away? Yeah, my mum's ex-boyfriend told my sister. So you couldn't even go to your mum to get the full story?

No. No. As it happens, my mum was a little bit of a girl about town. You need to contact David Lomas from Missing Pieces. He needs to go back through your family archives and figure out who connects to who and what connects to what and who did what to who and when. Yeah, so there's a few people that

must have known about it because my sister rang one of the neighbours not long ago and she said, I've got a question. She said, I know what you're going to ask. And she said he was a gentleman from the Dart Club but nobody knows. What? A gentleman from the Dart Club? Wait gentleman from the dark club? Wait, so the neighbour knew?

Yeah, everybody knew except for us, basically. That sucks. Yeah. Juicy. Juicy. Too juicy. My sister wants to do a DNA test. I said, oh, we probably better not because we've probably all got different fathers.

Well, you know, is there a part of you that wants to do that? I mean, I'm sure that everybody above you is no longer here and you can't go to them for answers. But does part of you want to know or do you want to just let sleeping dogs lie? No, she's my sister. I was going to say, Linda, it doesn't change the connection and bond you have with your siblings.

No, it definitely doesn't. So who cares at this point? No, but it's got to. I mean, if she finds a new family, God, that's more Christmas presents we're going to buy for. Wow, that's true, I guess. Linda, you make a very good point.

But Linda, what if they're rich? You know, what if you find out that one of you is the heir to some kind of mega fortune, you know? That's my sister's issue, not mine. Yeah. Well, it's from a different family. Well, you think.

That's what you think, Linda. You think your dad's your dad, but so did your sister until recently. Yeah. Linda's from a different family. Well, you think. That's what you think, Linda. You think your dad's your dad, but so did your sister until recently. Yeah. Linda, your dad could be Dave Grohl at this point. We don't know. Yeah. Thanks, Linda. Yeah, unfortunately, I look a lot like my dad,

but I'm probably the only one. Oh, there you go. So you're pretty sure. Hey, you have a great weekend, Linda. Thanks for calling the show. Juicy. Juicy. Very juicy.

One more text. I found out my now ex-husband had a child eight years into our marriage. Kept it a secret. That'd break your

balls, wouldn't it? And we've got double passes to give away. We're live from Horizon right now, and that means that, Ella, you have a different environment, a different situation to change your luck in Let's Get Classical.

I do. There's some beautiful art that I'm looking at, so I'm going to feel inspired. It's going to inspire you, yeah. Classical art. It's kind of in the same realm. It's a lot more public. I'm looking at the same art, though, so I'm extra inspired.

On the line, two tickets to Manuka Farm Symphony in the Domain to the person who has backed the winning team, Brianne Clint or producer Ella. Claudia, you've got a new set of pop songs in classical style ready for us to do. Correct. And it could go either way. I feel like either you guys are on a real streak.

We are on a hot streak, aren't we? You can either take out the whole week or statistically, maybe it's Ella's turn. She is due. This is the game. She's due. Yeah. Okay.

But we're not going to give it to her. Are you sure? Positive. We're playing for people. Okay. Well, we all know the rules, so buzz in with your name. You need to give me the answer lickety split, okay? Okay.

Okay. Here's your first song. Ella. That's a hard one. Perfect. One Direction. Yeah, well done. Well done.

Well done. I done. Well done. I had it in there. I just hadn't quite put the pieces together. I haven't heard that song enough, but I recognise it. But well done, Ella. Okay, we've got some work to do here. Ella's got her joy back. Let's take it away from her.

It's our favourite thing. Here it is. Let's crush her joy. Let's crush her joy. You think I'm a cockroach. Oh, Ella. She's gone and quit. Super lonely Benny? Yeah, it is.

Wow. Oh, my God. That was very good. She's back. Very, very good from you today. Jess, Jess, you correctly picked Ella, which means you've got two tickets to Manuka Farm, Symphony of the Domain.

Yes, Jess! I gave you! Yes! Honestly, Jess and I are becoming best friends. I reckon I need to hang out with her at Symphony. They're probably going to go to Symphony together. I will take you to Symphony if my boyfriend doesn't want to go. If my boyfriend doesn't want to go, If my boyfriend doesn't want to go. You guys scream in the same register.

You guys need to be best friends. I can't tell who to. I have never won anything in my life and the cat tower I won for my cats does not count. Love it, Jess. You go, Jess. We'll see you at Symphony in the Domain 2025.

Congratulations. Thank you. Well done, Jess. Tickets from 99 bucks. All the details at ZM online. Manuka Farm presents Symphony in the Domain 2025. It's on the 29th of March. Brie and Clint.

Very exciting news this morning that nobody saw coming. I didn't know this was about to drop. But today we found out that Dua Lipa is coming to New Zealand. Tonight I'm riding with you. I know you got my back and you know I got you. that Dua Lipa is coming to New Zealand. I was so excited when I saw this news because we have had to take blow after blow here in NZ with, you know, Billie Eilish. She announced she wasn't coming.

Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, but not Dua Lipa. That's right. She's coming here and I can't wait. The last time I saw her here was probably the best show of the year for me. I didn't get to see it but I heard it was phenomenal. It was unreal. We played this game before and it hinges on your wonderful mother, Mama Di, and she joined us on the phone now live from Queensland.

Hi, Mama Di. Hi, Mum. Hi, guys. How are you going? We're good. Since we talked to you two years ago, would you say your knowledge of Dua Lipa has increased or decreased? Oh, increased a bit.

Yeah. Oh, that's good, Mum. Do you like her? Not much, but a little bit. Do you enjoy a bit of Dua Lipa? I think she's fabulous and I think her stage name is fantastic, isn't it? What's her stage name? Dua Lipa. Nailed it, Mum.

Nailed it. How this is going to work, the game of Who A Lipa, Mumma Di, is if you can correctly identify whether the artist we are playing is or isn't Dua Lipa, you will win the corresponding person two tickets to see Dua live at Spark Arena on the 2nd of April, 2025. No pressure. Oh, I don't think I can disappoint anyone, really. Mum, you're going to have to do your best.

So here's how it's going to work. We're going to play your song and you just have to tell us, is it Dua Lipa or someone else? Oh, okay. I'll have a go. Yeah, you just do your best. I can only do my best. You do your best I can only do my best You do your best We're going to keep playing until we get it right, okay, Mama Di?

So just take your time and enjoy it Let's bring Lisa on first Hi, Lisa Hi, Lisa Hi Do you think Mama Di can win you these tickets, Lisa? I hope so First cab off the rank

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but if she nails it the first time, we've only got one double pass to give away, so you might as well go first, right, Lise? Yes. All right, Lise, best of luck. Come on, Lise. Send me some vibes, mate.

Send me some vibes. My mum's saying send me some vibes. The only catch, Lisa, is you can't give Mama Di the answer. Okay? She has to do it on her own. Okay, so I can't say anything. You can't say anything. All right, Mama Di, are you ready to play Who A Leaper?

Yes, I'm ready to play Do A Leaper. No, Who A Leaper. Who A Leaper for Do A Leaper. Just play the song. Okay, who's this? Mama Di. Is that do a leaper or not? Oh, I'm so scared to answer.

Hello. Hi. How much do you want to double pass to do a leaper, Becky? Oh, I want this so much for my little Isabel's birthday present. Come on, Mumma Di. Oh, no. She wants to win it for her daughter. That means the stakes are high.

Are you ready for your next song, Mum? Yes, I am. Okay. I can tell my mum is taking this seriously. She is. And I would expect nothing less from her. I wouldn't either. She wants to win you these tickets, Becky.

Here comes your next song. I know she does. She wants to win you these tickets, Becky. Here comes your next song. I know she does. Mum. Di, it's over to you. Mumma Di, is that Dua Lipa or not? I'm going to say... What does your gut say? No. She's locking in no.

Are you sure you want to go with no? Well, it sounds like the first one, so that's why I'm going to say no. I'll tell you it's not the same artist as the first one, but that doesn't mean that it is Dua Lipa. Well, her voice is a little bit deeper than that, I reckon, but yeah. Are you locking in no? That's not Dua Lipa. Yes, I am.

She's locking it in. Becky. Becky, you going to see Dua Lipa? You've done it, I am. She's locking it in. Becky. Becky, you going to see Dua Lipa? You've done it, Mama Di. You've smashed it. Mama Di. Mama Di. Isabel, is it?

How old is Isabel? She'll be 12. It's for her 12th birthday. I took Brianna to her first concert when she was 12. It was ACDC, wasn't it? Yeah, human nature. Oh, right. Even better. Hey, well done, Di. You've done a

They're just talking amongst themselves. If you would like to see Dua Lipa live in concert, she's bringing the hottest show in the world, the Radical Optimism Tour to New Zealand. General tickets go on sale the 20th of September at 1pm from Live Nation.

All the details to see Dua Lipa at Spark Arena in 2025 are up now at ZM Online. Brian Clint. We just had a cocktail come. Hey, boys, just one second. We've just been bought a cocktail that's on fire. What was the name of this cocktail that you've just bought us? It's a tetunutunu old-fashioned,

which refers to the grilled old-fashioned. I'm just going to do a taste test over here, Clint. That's the best old-fashioned I've ever had, ever. Grazie. We're down in the lobby of Horizon at the moment if you're downtown. Feel free to swing by and say hi. We're going to be here for a little bit longer. Right now, it's time for another – oh, I've got to change this over.

One second. We are going to do a Friday Okie. You've probably been waiting around for it, and Clint is about to organise that really quick. All right, time to focus. We have put time and effort into this, Bree. I know it doesn't often sound like it, but we always do. We put our most into our Friday Oki performances

because I don't think we want, I don't think we go out with the intention of embarrassing ourselves. Look, it's not our life goal to embarrass ourselves every Friday on the radio. It's not. No, not at all. Not on a nationwide broadcast. Whose would?

Whose intention would that be? You know? No. In saying that, we have chosen a song by Pitbull this week. So. Yes, we have. It will be what it will be. You know? No. In saying that, we have chosen a song by Pitbull this week. So. Yes, we have. It will be what it will be. Mr. Worldwide.

We thought we might do a hotel room service, seeing as we're broadcasting from a hotel. Turns out that song's not really fit for broadcast in 2024. No, the clean version isn't even very clean, turns out. So instead, we've settled on Pitbull, Time of Our Lives. What you're about to hear is about 15 minutes each spent with a professional audio engineer to do our best Mr. Worldwide Pitbull and Neo rendition. I don't know if people can really get the vibe, but I shaved my head for this week.

Just so I could channel Mr. 305 himself. Just your head? Yeah. No, I'm bald. Where did you go full Pitbull? I'm bald everywhere. 305 himself. Just your head? Yeah. No, I'm bald. Where did you go full pitbull? I'm bald everywhere. Everywhere but the eyebrows. I'm like a Sphinx cat.

You're going to hear mine. You're going to hear Bree's. And then we would love you to pick the winner of Friday Okie. So here we go. It's Pitbull on zero. I know my rent was going to be laid about a week ago. I worked my ass off, but I still can't pay it though But I got just enough

To get up in this club Had me a good time Before my time was up Hey, let's get it now Ooh, I want the time of my life Mr. Worldwide Oh baby Ooh, give me the time of my life

Hey, hey, hey Is this the last $20 I got? But I'ma have a good time ballin' tonight Tell the bartender I know some shots Cause I'ma get, ooh, tonight She's on fire, she's so hot I'm no liar, she burned up the spot Lookin' like Mariah, take another shot

I told her drop, drop, drop, drop it like it's hot Dirty talk, dirty dance She a freaky girl and I'm a liar. She burned up the spot. Looking like Mariah. Take another shot. I told her, drop, drop, drop, drop it like it's hot. Dirty talk. Dirty dance. She a freaky girl and I'm a freaky man. She on a rebound. She broke up with her ex. And I'm like Rodman, ready on deck. I told her when I ride out.

And she said, yes. We didn't go to church. But I got blessed. Call the police. Well, there it is. Call the police. Well, there it is. You know, that's definitely it. Mr. Worldwide, 305, his rendition. Very good, I thought.

That's one of them. Very, very good. 50% of our Friday Oki performances. Here comes Brie. Anything you need to say before this goes to you? I know he's a big idol of yours. I know you love pitbull. I just hope that I do him proud.

That's all I've got to hope for. Yeah, that's all we want to do. That's all we want. Okay, here comes Bree's Pitbull. I knew my rent was going to be late about a week ago. I worked my ass off, but I still can't pay it though. But I got just enough to get off in this club. Have me a good Time before my time is

Up hey let's get it now Ooh I want The time of my life Mr. Worldwide Oh baby ooh Give me the Time of my life Hey let's get it

Hey let's get it now This the last twenty dollars I got but I'm having good time Balling tonight tell the bartender line up the Shops cause I'm getting loose Hey, let's get it, let's get it now She's a freaky girl and I'm a freaky man She on the rebound, broke up with her ex And now I'm like Rodman, ready on deck I told her when I ride out And she said yes We didn't go to church But I got blessed Well, there's no taking those back. They're out there now.

Yep, can't take it back. How did you feel about it? Yeah, I thought, I think if Pitbull, Mr. Worldwide, heard that, he would still probably want to hook up with me. So I think I did all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although what would put Pitbull off? You know, I often wonder that.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. So it really says nothing about how I did. If you're willing to vote on Friday Oki this afternoon, we're looking for five brave people to call through on 0800DIALS.M and give us their honest feedback. That's the only way we're going to grow in this segment is if you guys tell it like it is. Brie and Clint. It's time to find the

winner of Friday Oki. Brie and I very bravely broadcast our pitbull renditions. Yeah, I actually, you couldn't see it, obviously, because it's radio, but I grew a goatee when I was performing that song. It was quite remarkable.

My Pitbull sounded like this. I know my rent was going to be laid about a week ago. I'll work my ass off, but I still can't pay it though. Kind of like this. I knew my rent was going to be late about a week ago I worked my ass off, but I still can't pay it though But who? Who went the whole hog? Who went the whole dog and brought the pit bull to the party?

We've got five votes standing by. I'm not gonna say this right. Kelly Opie is on the phone with us. Hi, Kelly Opie. Hi. Kelly Opie, is that how we pronounce it? No, it's Calliope. Calliope.

Probably the coolest name we've ever had on this show, Calliope. Thank you. Don't let Brie's compliments sway your vote, okay? I'm being honest. I want to know who you think did the better pitbull this afternoon on Friday Okie and why. Well, I haven't actually heard the song, but I'm going to go with Brie because to me it sounded better.

I'll take it. I will take it. You haven't heard the original pitbull version of it. Is that right, Calliope? Yeah. Okay. But you just picked based on both of our renditions of it and you've decided to go with me.

I appreciate your vote very much. Thanks, Calliope. Let's go to Nathan. I know 800 dials at him. Hi, Nathan. Happy Friday. G'day, Nath. How are you?

You know the Pitbull song, don't you? You would have heard that before. For sure. Yeah, right. Who made you feel like you wanted to shave your head, Nathan? Oh, I think Clint definitely did. Fair enough. I got that big pitbull

energy. Is that right, Nathan? Just a bit of flow, mate. A bit of flow. Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, that's right to my heart, Nathan. Right to my heart. Thank you, Nathan. We appreciate your vote. Have a great weekend. See you, Nathan. Kayla's come through. I know $800 a day. Hi, Kayla. Hi, Kayla. Hi, Brent.

Let's go. Yeah, go Bree. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The dogs are out, Kayla, and his name was Pitbull. 2-1 to Bree. Let's go to Ryan on 0800.

Hi. You've got the power, Molly. It's your vote that will decide the winner. Do you have any thoughts this week? I think that Brie put the attitude into it. You heard that, didn't you, Molly? Pardon? You heard me put the attitude into it, didn't you?

Yeah. I appreciate you, Molly. Have a fantastic weekend. Thank you. Molly, have a fantastic weekend. Thank you. She will. From the mouths of babes, it goes to Bree. This isn't from the start, is it? Congratulations.

You're the winner of the Pitbull Friday Oki. It had to be that way. Thank you, mate. Appreciate it. It's time for a the Pitbull Friday Oki. It had to be that way. Thank you, mate. Appreciate it. Bree and Clint. It's time for a birthday party. Bree and Clint. All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.

That's right. Birthday banger time. This is where you call us up. You tell us your birthday, and we tell you the number one song on your 16th. Sian's going to go first. Kia ora, Sian. Happy Friday. Hi, Sian.

Hi, how are you? Good, thanks. What are you up to for your weekend? Not a lot. Chill one, taking it easy. That's my type of weekend, Sian. I feel you on that. Hey, what's your date of birth, Sian? 14th of September, 1982. All right, that means you were 16 in 1998, and on your 16th birthday, this was number one. Jennifer Page and Crush, banger. It's a one-hit wonder, but it's a solid song.

What do you reckon, Sian? It's a definite banger. Banger. What movie was this on? I feel like it was in a movie with Gwyneth Paltrow. Sounds about right. For some reason. Yeah.

I can't remember what, though. Wait there, Sian. We're going to do Madeline's birthday banger. Hi, Madeline. Hi, Madeline. Hi. How are you guys? Good, thank you, Mae.

What are you up to for your weekend? I've got my mother-in-law to be's birthday and probably sneak out for a horse ride. Mother-in-law's birthday and a horse ride. Sounds all right. Sounds pretty good, Madeline. What's your birthday, mate? 7th of April, 1996. All right, you were 16 in 2012.

We've done the calculations, and here's your birthday, mate. Carly Rae Jensen, Call Me Maybe. Another one-hit wonder, kind of. Yeah, pretty much. She had some other hits, but not as big as this. No, she had one other hit with Elle City, who was also a one-hit wonder. They combined their one-hit wonder-ness to get one more hit. But she's an icon.

She is. I love Carly Rae Jepsen. She's great. Do you like that song, Madeline? Yeah, I like it. It's pretty nostalgic. It's very 2012. I am a big fan of that song, I must say.

I think it's got the legs, Madeline. It has been described as a perfect pop song. It is the perfect pop song. And when you come up with that as your first song, it's very hard to peak again. Yeah, it's hard to top it. Wait, wait there, Madeline. We're going to do one more for Aria,

who's doing their mum's birthday banger. Hi, Aria. Hi, Aria. Hi. How old are you, Aria? I'm 13. You're 13, so you've got a few more years until you can play. So what is your mum's birthday?

The 15th of the 11th, 1975. All right, that means your mum was 16 in 1991. And on that exact day, this was at the top. I'm too sexy for my car. Too sexy for my car. Right said Fred and I'm too sexy. 13-year-old Aria, have you ever heard that song before? No.

Bit of a silly one, isn't it? What does your mum reckon? Is she there with you? Nah. Not a fan, not a fan. mum reckon? Is she there with you? Nah. Not a fan. Not a fan. Let's figure this out. Thank you, guys. We appreciate the honesty. We failed to mention that it's Sian's birthday tomorrow, so she

wasn't doing much this weekend, but it is her birthday tomorrow. How did she not mention that? We should have known, shouldn't we? Jennifer Page, Crush, Carly Rae Jepsen called me maybe. I won't be voting for right, said Fred. No, it's between the other two. I think I'm going Jennifer Page, Crush.

Do you reckon? For Sian's birthday. Sian's birthday would be the tipping point. Yeah, I think it's... I don't need much of a muchness, but... I think they're on par. Let's bring her back on. Sian, are you there? Yeah, I'm here.

How are you having a quiet weekend when it's your birthday tomorrow? Oh, you know. Oh, you know. Sometimes you just want to have a day to yourself, Sian, am I right? Yeah, that's just another day. We won't go overboard about your birthday either then. We will play your song as the winner of Birthday Banger. Congratulations.

Awesome, thank you. Don't say we never got you anything, Sian. Okay. Bree and Clint from the year 1998. Here's Jennifer Page on ZM. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger today from the year 1998 is Jennifer... Page.

Page. I was going to call her Jennifer Garner. Where's Jennifer Page these days? How old is Jennifer Page, you reckon? Well, that song came out in 1998, which is 26 years ago. Yeah. So even if she was 26 when that song came out,

she'd be 52. Is Jennifer Garner 52? Jennifer Page is 51. Oh, see? You're close. Apart from getting her name wrong. I was incredibly close with that, wasn't I? Very, very close.

Have you ever thought about why you're not allowed to smile in your passport photos? Not really, but I have always thought it is a bit strange. Because is it driver's licence as well? Yes, correct. It is, eh? Oh, actually, I don't know. I think certain driver's licences depend on where you're from. I did my driver's licence earlier this? Yes, correct. It is, eh? Oh, actually, I don't know. I think certain driver's licences depends on where you're from.

I did my driver's licence earlier this year. Let me check. I feel like I might have smiled. No. Show me. No, I'm not smiling. Show me.

Yeah. You are not smiling at all. And this is the best I've got. Every passport I've got... Wait, should we check mine? Yeah, but look, every passport I've got looks like a police mugshot,

you know? Because they say you can't have any sort of smiling happening in it whatsoever. I'm so gutted because I got the passport, what, you can get a 10-year passport. Yeah, yeah. So the last time I did it, I was in New Zealand, so I had to go to the Aussie embassy and it was a big, you know. Yeah. And I went and got my photos done.

It was at the last minute, so there was no redoing them. I was deathly hungover. Like, you should got my photos done. It was at the last minute, so there was no redoing them. I was deathly hungover. Like, you should see my passport photo. I look like I'm on death's door. Most people dread updating their photo every 10 years. You'll be excited. I'll be so excited. You'll be like, get me my 10 years older photo.

I'm smiling. In the driver's license. Yeah, there you go. You can smile in a driver's license, but not a passport. This is why. According to the Department of Internal Affairs, when you smile, you smile differently every time. And also when you smile, it changes the structure of your face.

Because they use your passport for facial recognition now, for SmartGate and things like that, the facial recognition software looks at 17 different reference points on your face and when you smile they move. A lot of them move. So you have to have this deadpan face that looks like you're going to do some kind of terrorist attack

as you're boarding the plane just so your passport will work. What does it mean if you go to the smart gate and it doesn't recognise you and then it throws you down to a person and you have to go talk gate and it doesn't recognise you and then it throws you down to a person and you have to go talk to them. I have had that before, particularly leaving Australia.

Like we'd go over for a big weekend with some friends and you go over looking one way and you come home looking a completely different way. Like I'm always puffier with bigger bags under my eyes coming back than I am going over there. The smart gate's like, missing dignity. Go talk to a human.

Do not recognise. That's why you can't smile in your passport photo. Tough news for all of us with resting bitch face, but you know, that's it. That's what it is. It is what it is. It is what it is. ZM, Brie and Clint, brand new Sabrina Carpenter. It's called Bad Kim.

I have not watched the MTV VMAs, just a couple of clips that have gone up on TikTok. She looked like she owned the show. She did. She danced with, I think it was like 40 guys dressed up as... Spacemen. Spacemen. Astronauts.

Yeah. It was quite the performance from her. Did you see Benson Boone do a backflip off the piano? That's his thing, eh? I don't mean to sound like the old person in this situation, and I hope this sounds positive. That VMAs to me, from the little bits that I've seen, it's a real changing of the guard.

Yeah, they're handing it over to the new ones. It's like the new generation have come through. We've got through COVID. You know, we had a couple of artists to get us through. We were still letting Katy Perry do a few things. They still invited Taylor Swift along last night to get her 300th MTV VMA. But that awards show was about Gracie Abrams.

It was about Sabrina Carpenter. It was about Benson Boone. It was about Chapel Roan. Yeah. It was about the new generation, which is healthy. Yeah, it's awesome. It's great to see. I do think they need to set up a millennial VMAs, though,

where we can get Lady Gaga along. Yeah, it's called the MVMAs. MVMAs. Yeah, yeah. The millennial VMAs. Yeah. You know, roll Usher out there. Get Lady Gaga down.

Roll him out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who else do we like? Who else was big for us? Do a tribute to Avicii. Who else was big for us? Akon. Ak Avicii. Who else was big for us? Akon. Akon, get him in there.

Akon can be there. David Guetta. And Taylor Swift can get Best Emerging Artist at that one, you know? Taylor Swift. She's straight back to being the young one again. Taylor Swift can straddle. She'll go to both. And she will.

And she will. It's been a great day. And she'll win all the awards at both. Yeah. It's been a great day broadcasting from Horizon at Sky City. It's been lovely being here. I feel relaxed. I feel like let's ask them if we can broadcast every Friday from here.

Every Friday, yeah, yeah. I wish we'd asked to stay the night. Two beds, obviously, bird and an egg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if we had to, though. Yeah. Top and tail or face to face? Mate, a couple more of these cocktails cocktails I won't care where I sleep.

Thanks for joining us. It's been fun. If you're keen to stay here, you should check out Horizon by Sky City. It's a blimmin' lovely experience whether you're outside
