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

Taking on our other training today, they're calling from Palmerston North.
They're 25 and they're an electrician, but they're colourblind.
Jeez, that's got to be tricky.
Welcome to the show, Griffin.
Hello, hello.
How's it going?
G'day, Griff.
Are you for real?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's true.
How do you know which wire to cut?
I just guessed, really, and hopefully it works and I turn the power on.
Hope for the best, right?
Yeah.
Oh, my Lord.
That must make, I mean, being an electrician is already dangerous,
but then being colourblind must make it twice as dangerous, surely.
Yeah, but ignorance is bliss, eh, Griffin?
Yeah, that's it.
Griff and Callum, we're going to use your names as your buzzers today
because you can't both buzz in with Trady.
We won't know who's who.
So do that, and the first person to get three correct answers
will get $50 cash.
Here we go, lads.
Question number one.
In what country was Elon Musk born?
Griff. Yes, Griffin.
South Africa, maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is South Africa.
There is no rule against answering by committee.
If the other people on the job site want to help out, that's fine.
We just ask that you don't Google.
And I didn't hear any Googling, so that's fine.
All righty.
One point to Griff Dogg.
Question number two.
Who are the All Blacks playing in Sydney this weekend?
Griff Callum.
Griff Callum.
Oh, you reckon Griff got in?
Yeah, he got in with a griff.
Australia.
It is Australia, the Wallabies.
God, they're going to get absolutely pantsed.
All right, two to Griffon.
That means, Cal, you need this one to stay in it.
Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
Callum.
Callum?
Hootie and the Blowfish.
Hootie and the Blowfish is correct.
It is Hootie and the Blowfish.
Who else?
No one plays more Hootie than this show.
One to Cal, two to Griffin.
Question number four.
What animal has the most powerful bite in the world?
Kelly, Callum.
Yes, Callum.
Is that a hippo?
Oh, good answer.
Oh, that's a great answer.
No.
Griff, free guess.
Crocodile? That is correct. Is that the game? That is the game. That, free guess. Crocodile?
That is correct.
Is that the game?
That is the game.
That is the game.
You beauty.
I like how all of Griff's answers were answered as a question.
Crocodile.
South Africa.
Hey, but it still counts and it means, Griff, you're taking home $50 cash.
Nice work, mate.
Oh, beauty.
Thank you.
Play them out, Hootie.
I get a word if I'm lucky.
I want to be with you.
It's a tradie victory on International Tradie Day.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint, ZM, you know that.
Last night, Bree and I attended Brodie Kane, friend of the show, her book launch.
It's definitely the first book launch I've ever been to.
How about you?
No, I've been to a couple.
Have you?
I went to Ruby Toohey's.
Oh, yeah.
Went to Matt Heath's.
Okay.
So I've been to a couple.
You're a book person.
I'm a book person.
She's a book person.
Yeah.
We were talking to, well, I was talking to broadcasting icon,
Kerry Woodham, at the party.
Very well known.
Very well known.
And we've met her a few times.
Look behind the curtain.
She works here at the same company as us. The company
is NZME. They own ZM and they also own Newstalk ZB.
So we work at the same building.
Yeah, we're at the same Christmas parties.
Same company.
She's been in the studio. She came for a tour. I think she bought one of her nieces in with
her.
Yeah.
She said, they've always wanted to come in here. Can I bring them in? I said, absolutely,
Kerry.
Apparently they didn't want to go to News Talk
ZB. No, funny that. They wanted to come to ZM.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she did that. And that's fun.
And so I saw Kerry, made a B
line to her. And I said, hey
Kerry, how you going? And I did that thing
where you greet somebody that you know and I went in
for a little kiss on the cheek.
And as I went in for the kiss on the cheek, she
went in for the handshake.
And I was like, oh, this is awkward.
Which indicates.
This is already awkward.
That you got handsy with her last time.
Yeah, yeah.
She wants distance between us.
Yeah.
But we struggled through that.
And she goes, I'm sorry, who are you?
There was a lot of people.
There was a lot of people there.
And there was a lot of people with familiar faces.
Well, there would have been familiar faces to her, you know.
And nothing worse than the person that you don't recognise making it awkward.
So I tried to not make it awkward.
And I said, oh, it's all good.
I'm Clint.
We work together.
But it's okay.
Yeah, that doesn't make it awkward.
Yeah, I know.
I've grown a moustache. So you probably didn't recognise me. Oh, that's better. Yeah, that doesn't make it awkward. Yeah, I know. I've grown a moustache, so you probably didn't recognise me.
Oh, that's better.
Yeah, that's softer.
Oh, no, no, no.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I was like, you don't.
No, you don't.
Just say you don't.
That's okay.
That's okay.
I'm not memorable.
Would you have respected in that situation if she had said to you,
you just don't have that memorable of a face?
Yeah, don't take it personally.
You're just a forgettable kind of guy.
So anyway, that happened.
And I was telling you about it in the presence of another friend of ours,
who for the purposes of this story will remain nameless.
I know we didn't afford the same privilege to Kerry Woodham,
but it's funnier that way.
So this person said to us, mate, you think that's awkward.
I once introduced myself to a girl that I had dated for six months.
Yeah, that's way worse.
He said.
Way worse.
We didn't ask him how long it had been since they dated.
How long in between drinks.
But it shouldn't really matter if you were in a relationship with them for six months.
Oh, but what if it was 15 years ago?
I don't, really?
You wouldn't remember someone that you were in a relationship with for six months.
Yeah, of course.
I'm not talking a casual hookup here and there.
I'm talking like a relationship.
You were exclusive to each other.
I know what you're saying.
You went on trips together. You've been intimate. You've been, you've woken up at each other. I know what you're saying. You went on trips together.
You've been intimate.
You've woken up at each other's houses.
You've smelt each other's morning breath.
You've used each other's toothbrush.
I'm trying to soften it for him.
I'm trying to soften it.
But imagine the situation.
And they go, hey.
And you go, hi, nice to meet you.
I'm such and such.
And they go, are you for real and you're like
i used to have a drawer at your house i thought we were going to get married once upon a time
he said he said yeah he goes in fairness uh to me she had changed the way she looked a lot
but what does that mean how much can you change He said she'd lost a lot of weight,
changed her hair colour,
changed her hairstyle.
Changed her name.
Gone into witness protection.
Grown a beard.
Had one of those Inspector Gadget coats on.
Got glasses.
Like how much did she have to change
to make it okay?
This is rich from me,
who remembers almost nobody.
We've talked about that on the show.
Let's hope you'd remember someone you dated for six months.
That's what I hope.
Claudia, I just had a great idea.
Can we contact everyone Clint's ever dated?
Get them to call now.
And we'll do a line-up of people here in the studio
and Clint has to pick the ones he dated and the ones he didn't.
Now, that would be good.
I reckon I could pick them.
Could I name them?
That'd be a different story.
You're like, I do.
I remember your face.
Not a clue what your name is.
But to be fair, I never knew your name.
Andrew Dales at M.
We want to know, who did you introduce yourself to?
Who's the person that you either introduced yourself to
or you just plain forgot them?
Oh, no.
You didn't even introduce yourself.
They came over and you just blanked them.
Even though you know them.
You knew them.
Yeah.
They're part of your life.
They're part of your history.
What about that time?
Was it last year?
No, it was at the start of this year.
And I saw this guy that i knew
and i literally was talking to this guy like he was this person i knew i knew exactly who it was
right at the end i talked to him for like five minutes right at the end of the conversation
i went i'll see you later and said his name and he turns around and goes that's not my name. And I went, I've had too many drinks.
I need to go to the toilet now.
I know, it's not.
I was just kidding.
Mortifying.
Oh, $800 at M.
Or you can text 9696.
Who'd you forget?
Who'd you reintroduce yourself to?
Bree and Clint.
We just told a story about people not recognising you
after someone didn't recognise me.
And we told a friend of ours and they said, that's nothing.
I once didn't recognise my ex-girlfriend and we dated for six months.
I introduced myself to her.
There's no excuse for that.
It's so bad.
Can I just say, we're not going to name the person, but in their defence, they also say there's no excuse for it.
They also...
Yeah, they said they were ashamed.
They said they were ashamed.
Ashamed of themselves.
They said, oh, but she looked real different and stuff.
So they did try...
Probably should have...
And argue it a little bit.
They did try and get out of it.
You're right.
So we want to know who's the person that you introduced yourself to.
Jordan's here.
G'day, Jordan.
Hi, Jordan.
Hiya.
What happened?
I was at the supermarket getting
some things after work
and this couple came up
to me and said hi and gave
me a hug and asked how I was doing
and to this day I have no idea who they
were because I was too embarrassed to tell them I
didn't recognise them. So you just
went with it?
Yeah, I just went with it and pretended I knew who they
were. You didn't know him or her? You didn't know
either of the people in the couple?
I have no idea who
they were at all. But they both knew you.
You didn't meet them at a special party or anything?
No.
They didn't say, hey, your
keys are still at our house. You need to come grab
those.
I would have done the same thing, Jordan,
in fairness to you. I would have done the same thing, Jordan, in fairness to you.
I would have done the exact same thing.
You know, you don't want to upset anyone.
Bree's been with me when I have done that with people.
And I've walked away and Bree goes, who was that?
And I've said, I have no idea.
But it plagues you, doesn't it, Jordan?
It plays on your mind because there's no way to find out who it was.
Oh, yeah, this was years ago. And I still wonder how I knew that.
You can't go to that supermarket anymore,
because what if you run into them?
Yeah, I do avoid that one a little bit now.
Yeah, I bet you do.
Thanks, Jordan.
That's embarrassing.
Someone said, I once introduced myself to the lead singer of Op Shop,
and my opening statement was, oh, you look like that guy from Op Shop.
Embarrassing.
He replies, that's because I am.
Yep, that'll do it.
I've heard the lead singer of Op Shop
gets that all the time.
Yeah, you look exactly like him.
And honestly, if you Google Jason Kerrison
and the lead singer of Op Shop,
tell me they don't look exactly the same.
Very similar.
Tell me they don't bear a striking resemblance to each other pretty much the same person yeah as i might say someone
uh texted her and said i introduced myself to my gynecologist once wait wait do you reckon they've
seen their gynecologist out in the wild oh i see what you mean i thought you meant when you went
in for your appointment i was like that's a nice thing to do. Yeah, but like out in the wild.
Out in the wild.
And they've been like, oh, g'day, I'm such and such.
And they're like, yep, I know exactly who you are.
I know you intimately.
I know you more than the next person.
I know you inside out.
I know different parts of you.
This person wants to be anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi, anonymous.
Hi.
What?
This happened to you.
You were the forgotten person, weren't you?
By the way,
first time caller,
long time listener.
Let's go, ladies.
Oh, you're the second one today,
Anonymous, and we welcome them here.
Two and a half an hour.
Okay, Anonymous. So you got forgotten by who?
Okay, this is a very intense story.
This is about 12 years ago.
So I had a one-night stand with this guy.
Maybe not once, but maybe a couple of times.
Okay.
And maybe two or three years later, I meet him again on Tinder.
Right.
And he has no idea who I am.
We go on a date.
What?
We go to the movies together.
He still has no clue.
Yeah.
After the date and everything, I'm like,
do you really not remember who I am?
And he didn't.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I've got so many questions.
Yeah, me too.
So did you recognise him straight away, obviously, anonymous? Yes, I did. Like from the
photos and everything, I did. But he did not remember me at all.
And so did you ever bring it up with him and say, hey, you know, we
hooked up a couple of times? I did and he like
he just could not remember. But did you go on the date
before you told him? So did you go on the date before you told him?
So did you go to the movies and kind of just play along for a while?
I played along the whole time.
This dude had no clue.
That is so weird.
Are you sure it wasn't his identical twin?
Yeah, yeah.
Could it be you that's wrong?
I don't know.
But, like, well, you know, I played him at that point
and then I'm like, see you later.
Yeah. Yeah, that you later. Yeah.
Yeah, that's wild to me.
Like, how can you not remember someone you've lived with?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's bad.
Even when you said, hey, like, this happened
and he still was like, no, no memory.
At that point.
No recollection of it.
At that point, even if you don't remember them,
that's when you go, oh, my God, Jessica. Of course, yeah.. At that point. No recollection of it. At that point, even if you don't remember them, that's when you go, oh my God, Jessica.
Of course, yeah.
I'm so sorry.
You look so much different.
You look better.
Yeah, you look incredible.
You fake it.
You lie.
No idea.
No idea.
Oh, well, sorry that happened to you, Anonymous.
Poor thing, Anonymous.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Sorry, Sal.
Start wearing a name badge, maybe.
Sorry?
No, nothing. I don't think it's Anonymous anonymous's problem i think it's that other guy's problem yeah but again like we said earlier in the show ignorance
is bliss he doesn't know it's his problem he could have been on so many dates like if anonymous went
on the date and stringed him along for a while he could have done this with multiple people been on
dates with them and they're like bro and some people probably just never said anything yeah he's like i'll pick you up i've got a blue skyline they're like i bro. And some people probably just never said anything.
Yeah, yeah.
He's like, I'll pick you up.
I've got a blue skyline.
They're like, I know.
I've been in it.
I've been in it multiple times.
Yeah, baby.
Let's go.
Damn, we got our hoodie and the blowfish intro that we've been asking for.
For at least three days.
Oh, just a little taster.
I like it.
Just a little.
A little bit of flavour put in there by producer Claude.
She's onto it.
Just a little hoodie.
She knows what makes us happy.
A woman has posted a video to social media
talking about a date she went on with a Sydney man.
So this is a guy over in Sydney, Australia.
She says her name's Emily.
She's British, living in Australia at the moment.
She was on the beach one day and she said she was approached by a guy.
They chatted for a bit and then he asked if she would like to go on a date
and they organized a coffee date.
Cute.
Right? So they met up for a coffee and that was when, after they got home from the coffee
date, Emily decided, oh, there wasn't really a spark. I don't really want to lead this
guy on. I'm just going to text him and say, hey, thank you so much for the date.
I didn't really feel a spark, but the best with everything.
Cruel to be kind.
You know?
Yeah.
Be upfront.
There's some audio of her talking about what then happened after she sent that text to this guy.
I've just been on a date with this guy.
So I went for a coffee, I've just got back.
Anyway, I got back and I was like, no, I'm really not feeling it.
I thought I would be decent and I would send him a message.
Just think, you know, we're probably better off as friends,
but, you know, see you around, whatever.
He has asked me to send him $6, $6 for my coffee.
And I'm just like, yeah, sure.
I'm going to send you $6 now when you're being rude.
He's butthurt, I reckon.
$6.
He's butthurt.
$6.
Like, I reckon he is annoyed and hurt that she didn't feel anything with him.
And so he's being petty.
Yeah, it's not the energy you want to give off.
He's just very cheap. Which one do you think it is? I think it's the pettiness one. I think it's not the energy you want to give off. He's just very cheap. Which one do you
think it is? I think it's the pettiness one.
I think it's pettiness. And he thinks he's
going to get, his pride's been hurt.
Yeah. Which it shouldn't. That's what dating
is. Dating is not a sure thing.
It's not like she said
or did anything hurtful. She just said
There's no obligation on her or you
to go any further
after the first date
or the second date or the third date.
That's how dating works.
But his pride's hurt.
So he asked for the $6 back that he spent on a couple.
Which is so short-sighted because that makes it worse.
Makes it way worse.
Imagine, you never know, maybe there was no spark then,
but maybe, let's say, a year later they meet at a party
and she goes, oh, my God, you're that guy that I went on a date with once.
And then for some reason they hit it off.
You don't know.
You don't know.
That's better than what I was going to say.
What were you going to say?
I was going to say what he should have done is when she sent the text
and said, hey, thanks for the date. I just wasn't feeling it.
That's when you reply, oh, snap.
I was just texting you the exact same thing.
You beat me to it.
Well, what she didn't mention in that video,
but she posted the text, was at the start of his text,
he said, I thought the exact same thing.
Also, send me $6 for the coffee.
That's not cool. Because I read into the story more,
apparently she messaged him back and said, well, no, I'm not going to send you the
$6 because you're being rude now. And then he wrote back and said,
hey, were you under the impression, this is what he said, he's like,
were you under the impression that it was a date?
I never.
This guy's a loser.
I never actually was taking you on a date,
so you should pay your own half.
Because asking her for the money back,
you know what it's implying is the coffee was a contract.
Like him purchasing her the coffee was under the pretense
that she was going to date him more.
Yeah.
I'll pay for your coffee because.
But I get a second date.
But I get a second date.
That's not how it works.
And then when there's no second date, he's like, well.
Give me the six bucks back.
Well, we're going to need a refund on that coffee, please.
You've got two options.
You can regurgitate it into the cup.
She dodged a bullet.
Or you can transfer me the six dollars.
Let's ask people, what's the petty thing that someone asked you to transfer the
money for it might not have been after a day it might have been after a day or it might not have
been it might have been you might have got an invoice from someone for like a dollar fifty
for your share of a loaf of bread you know i know times are tough i'm not saying they're not
but there are some you know what we're talking about though. There are situations where asking someone to give you money
for the thing that you paid for is just not appropriate.
Or even just circumstances where you're friends with people
and you'll buy things here and there.
And then when it comes to their turn,
they're asking you to transfer them a couple of bucks here and there.
We had a friend back in the day, like when we were in our
20s and none of us had any money. We were all students. We were all broke as. And everyone,
I think I've talked about this girl on the show before, but this one day we were all at our
friend's house having pre-drinks because we drink before we go out because we couldn't afford to
drink. And so we'd all were having pre-drinks and the drinks ran out.
Anyway, she wasn't drinking that night and we asked her, we're like, can you drive us
to the Bottle-O so we can get more drinks?
So there was like four of us that got in the car and we all went down to the Bottle-O,
which is probably like maybe an eight minute drive.
Anyway, when we got back, she asked us all to transfer her money for the petrol.
Well, fair enough.
She wasn't drinking, so she had no reason
to go to the bottle store. Come on!
Nah, that's rough.
Would you expect an Uber driver to take you there for free?
Free and Clint.
We want to know about the petty money
transfer requests you received.
A girl has gone online and talked about how a guy she went on a date with
asked for the $6 back for the coffee he bought her.
Pathetic.
Like, actual pathetic.
Yeah, I feel sorry for every girl that he is going to date after this
because they won't know, or they might know now because it's on TikTok
and everyone's talking about it.
Yeah, exactly.
He should have put his photo in there.
Like he should have just left with his head held high.
She said she wasn't feeling it
and he should have wrote back and said,
no worries, really appreciate meeting you.
Yeah.
All good.
So we want to know about the petty money transfer requests
you've received.
Like this text.
We had this absolute punisher in our flat
that asked for 56 cents back
for the spray and wipe that he purchased for the flat.
You've got to be kidding.
What about this one?
Can you even transfer 56 cents?
I think you can.
I think you can.
Someone texted her and said,
My ex-husband demanded his money back after the money he used
from his nana's inheritance towards the deposit on the house we lived in for 10 years.
We have three children and he moved on with a new woman
two weeks after our 17-year marriage
and leaving me to raise the kids alone.
I transferred him two cents to his account
with a note saying, paid in full.
Yeah, that's...
Oh, the nerve.
Not to the mother of your children and your children.
That is not...
The nerve, eh?
That is not how to behave like an adult.
If you've left the kids with her and she's raising the kids,
like, mate.
A girl took me out on a date back when we were younger.
I wasn't feeling it.
And at the end of the date,
she wanted her 50 cents back for the McDonald's ice cream
that we had. God. Remember when the date she wanted her 50 cents back for the McDonald's ice cream that we had.
God. Remember when the McDonald's
cones were 30 cents?
No, I don't. I think they were always 50 cents
here. Oh, we had them for 30 back
home. Yeah, right. Yeah. They're like
a dollar now. Are they? Yeah.
Which shows you the country is
just... Time flies, eh?
Oh, mate. Inflation. Someone else
said 33 cents.
Yes, 33 cents for an avocado.
A dollar avocado split between three,
never mind all the other shopping that was purchased for the weekend.
They only got an avocado and asked to be reimbursed
and no offer to pay towards the rest of the shopping
that had been purchased for everyone for the weekend.
Fun fact, if you do that, people won't like you.
Sophie's here.
Hi, Sophie.
G'day, Soph.
Hi.
What was the pathetic money transfer request that you got?
So my husband and I were living in Vietnam
and we're at a friend's apartment and we ordered pizza.
My husband handed over half the money for the pizza
and the guy was like, oh, what about the delivery fee,
which came to 20 cents.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
That's so embarrassing.
So he handed it over.
But it wasn't the only occasion.
There was quite a few.
So obviously that's just how they were.
You give them a dollar in that situation and you go,
and then you say, you say, you go, don't worry about it, man.
What do you have for the next like 10, you say, you go, don't worry about it, man. What do you...
Here's for the next like 10 sessions.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
What do you...
Here's for the next 10 deliveries.
Let me open a tab.
What do you reckon it is about people that are so like, I mean, that's being cheap?
Yeah, but I know what you're saying.
I know what you're saying.
Frugal is different to cheap.
But then some people are just really details focused on that stuff.
Like they need to be exactly fair.
And I don't know what that is either.
You know?
But 20 cents is something else, Sophie.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
Someone said, hi, team.
My parents gifted us $5,000 towards our wedding.
Shortly after the wedding, I received an inheritance.
My parents asked for the $5,000 back.
Oh, no.
It caused a lot of problems in our relationship.
Money, eh? I want
to know if they gave it back to
them. Yeah. Did they give the 5k
back? Yeah. It's so
awkward. When I was trying to buy a house with my
parents, I got denied the home loan
because I owed
$4.38 on my
credit card for over four months.
God, they're ridiculous, eh?
I paid it off and reapplied and got the home loan.
Yeah, you'd hope so.
$4.
This one probably takes the cake for me.
They said, had a now former friend asked me to transfer her money
for a cheeseburger she'd bought me after I'd just done a set of eyelash extensions on her for free.
For a cheeseburger.
I'd never be friends with that person.
Finally, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hello.
Hi.
Yeah, we can.
What's the pity money transfer?
It's not like exactly petty, but I was seeing someone
and then we went out for dinner.
He really wanted me to meet his friends, so I met them.
And we went to a restaurant he didn't like, and we went out to pay.
He kind of looked at me.
I looked at him, and he kind of, like, you know,
like made me kind of pay for both of us.
Okay.
What, and he knew that you didn't like the restaurant as well?
Yeah.
Oh, that's a bit rough.
We eat much.
It's not like petty, but he was kind of like, oh, yeah, thanks.
But I always pay for everything, even though that's not true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your turn to step up.
Yeah, yeah.
Awkward.
Oh, okay.
Awkward.
How did that go?
I bet you're not together anymore.
No.
Oh, shocked.
Thanks, Anonymous.
Have a great weekend.
See you, Anonymous.
The person with the $5,000 gift from their parents towards the wedding,
they text back and they said, yes, I gave the money back.
Oh, I have so many more questions.
Like, did it cause a rift between you and your parents?
I had a friend charge me for a Mr. Whippy ice cream once.
This guy came from a wealthy family and he himself is very wealthy,
probably earning over $200,000 now,
and he asked me to pay him back for a Mr. Whippy.
God, how good.
Fair's fair.
Fair's fair.
Also, how good is Mr. Whippy?
Yeah, that person didn't give us the detail
of whether they asked for a flake in their Mr. Whippy as well.
Oh, did you get the sprinkle, Mr. Whippy?
Yeah, see?
Free and Clint.
We were talking before about petty money transfer requests that you received.
Someone texted in and said, I had a mate offer to take me fishing on his boat.
When I accepted, he gave me a shopping list of bait.
He asked for half the boat fuel and even fuel for his ute to get the boat to the boat ramp.
I understand it costs money to run a boat, but he was going fishing regardless of whether I said yes or not.
It would have been cheaper for me to charter my own boat.
Saw his opportunity and he took it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The guy with the boat, yeah.
That's why he bought the boat.
Yeah.
He could do that sort of thing.
Yeah, exactly.
Brinkley.
Time is waiting.
You only get one second of a song.
No hesitating. You only get one second of a song. No hesitating.
You only got one second.
Oh, one second.
This is the One Second Song Challenge,
where if we can guess songs quick enough,
we can win people KFC chicken dollars.
Taylor, you're on my team.
Good afternoon.
Hi, Taylor.
Hi.
We're going to go head-to-head with...
Natalia, you're on my team.
Hello, mate.
Kia ora.
All right. How it works is, Head to head with... Natalia, you're on my team. Hello, mate. Shout out.
All right.
How it works is Claudia runs the game and she gives us the rules.
Claudia, what's the deal?
Hello.
So this is the One Second Song Challenge.
It's pretty easy.
We start a song from the beginning and I'm just looking for you to buzz in with your name.
I need the artist and the name of the song.
Every week we have a theme. This week, all and the name of the song. Every week we have a theme.
This week, all of the titles of the songs are a question.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So yeah, within the title, there is like a, not a full sentence, but there's a question within there. Okay.
Okay, cool.
Reasonably straightforward once we get into it.
Bree and Clint, you guys are going first.
Buzz in with your name if you know what the question is.
Oh, close. Oh, that was so close.
I feel like it might have been Clint.
Rihanna, who's that chick?
Who's that chick?
Yeah, that's a banger for Rihanna.
That's a forgotten Rihanna banger.
It's a Friday jam.
Okay, cool.
Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah.
Okay, that is one point for Team Clint.
So, Taylor and Natalia, over to you guys.
Buzz in with your name if you think you know it.
Taylor?
Taylor.
The Weeknd.
Oh my gosh, I can't think of the name.
It's a great guess, but it's not The Weeknd.
Yeah, okay. Natalia, do you want a great guess, but it's not The Weeknd. Yeah, okay.
Natalia, do you want a free guess?
Is it Billie Eilish?
Also a good guess, but it's not.
Let's play it again.
You'll know it.
Just give it a little bit more.
You guys can buzz in again.
Oh, Natalia?
Natalia.
It's Taylor Swift.
Do you know the name of it?
Come on.
I can't think of the name.
Natalia.
I have to buzz you out if you don't know it.
Nah, what is it, Claude?
It's Taylor Swift.
Ready for it?
Are you ready for it?
Good guesses, though.
Bang up.
When Taylor said Taylor, I was like, she's got this.
I was like, this is perfect.
She's halfway there.
So close.
Okay, no points there.
So we're still on one point for Team Clint.
Brie and Clint, this is for you guys.
Brie.
Brie.
Oh, no.
That's Gwen Stefani.
And it is... What You Waitin' For? Oh, no. That's Gwen Stefani.
And it is... What You Waitin' For?
I'll give it to you.
Well done.
You were going to say TikTok at the start, eh?
A little bit.
Pulled it back, though.
I pulled it back.
So good.
Okay, we're all tied up.
Taylor and Natalia, we're back to you guys.
Taylor? Taylor.
Am I wrong?
Who's it by?
Who's it by? You can do it.
Is it
Afrojack?
Natalia
against Afragas.
It's Nico someone.
You're so close.
I feel like I'll give it to you.
I feel like you have to give that.
It's not one-hit wonder.
You got half the band.
It's Nico and Vins.
Vins.
That's such a banger as well.
Everyone forgets Vins.
It's fine.
Poor Vins.
Okay, that is two points for Team Bree, one for Team Clint.
I reckon just Bree and Clint for this one.
Okay, sure.
Okay, good luck.
Clint.
Oh, Clint.
Think 182, what's my age again?
Holy, yeah.
We tied it up.
That means everybody gets KFC.
Well done, guys.
Thank you.
Nice work, gals.
Poor old bins.
That was fun.
Total missed opportunity from Claudia.
I honest to God thought we were playing the Hootie and the Blowfish round of that game today.
Oh, yeah, that would have been so good.
Do they have five songs?
Mate, they've got five albums.
Just don't let her cry three times.
True.
Bree and Clint. Producer Claudia has been out meeting dogs today.
Why do you make it sound so weird?
I don't know.
Because you don't own a dog, but you go to the dog parks without a dog.
I do own a dog, thank you very much.
We're just trying to throw you under.
But also, I feel like that would be cool, just going to a dog park just to see the dogs.
I used to do that before I had dogs.
Cute.
You can't go to a kid's park just to see the kids.
Definitely not.
Why should you be able to go to a dog park just to see the dogs?
People used to say to me, like I used to be at the dog park playing with all the dogs,
they'd be like, which dog's yours?
I'd be like, oh, that one.
And then kind of point in the general direction.
Are you embarrassed of your dog?
Oh, before you had a dog?
Before I had one.
Because I was just there to pet other people's dogs.
Do you reckon anyone at a dog park has ever been there with their dog,
but their dog's like whatever, and someone goes,
oh my God, your German Shepherd is so beautiful,
but they don't have a German Shepherd, and they just go with it
because the person's impressed and you're like, thanks.
You're like, that's actually my dog way off in the distance not coming back,
but thank you so much.
What's so special about this dog you met today, Claudia?
Oh, it was so cute.
It's a whippet, which looks like a greyhound, but smaller.
Yeah, whippets are adorable.
So cute.
And my dog loves to chase other dogs.
What's the difference between a whippet and an Italian greyhound?
Yeah, it's a good question.
Not wearing a sweater, I think.
Yeah.
Italian greyhounds wear Gucci.
It's the accent, isn't it?
Yeah, the accent.
And they also have, most of the time, have mustaches.
That'll be it.
Okay, so you met a whipper.
Yeah, so I met a whipper.
And my dog loves to chase dogs that have, like, balls being thrown for them.
Why did you pause?
I don't know.
Why did you pause?
I literally was like, don't pause, don't pause.
Dogs that have balls being thrown at them.
My dog loves to chase dogs that have balls.
Both are accurate statements.
Anyway, they were running around together,
and the owner of the other dog was, like, throwing the ball back and forth,
and we were like, oh, this is so good.
Like, it's perfect for my dog.
It'll tire him out.
And then the other guy was like, oh, yeah, John just loves to chase the balls.
Like, he just loves it.
And I was like, hang on.
The dog's name is John. Yeah, I'm like, sorry And I was like, hang on. The dog's name is John.
Yeah, I'm like, sorry, are we talking, like, are you saying your name's John?
Are you saying this little dog's name is John?
So it was this little dog.
John the dog.
John the dog.
I love it.
Yeah.
John.
Just a really average human name for his dog.
John the Italian greyhound.
That's so good.
So good.
John.
But that reminded me that actually my cat's name is Ben.
I found this out last night.
You did?
Yeah.
I gave Claudia some cat treats for her cat.
And I don't know what I thought your cat's name was,
but I assumed it had a cat name.
And she sent me a video later that night and she said Ben loves his treats.
Do you know who she named her cat after?
Who?
Benjamin Franklin.
Benjamin Franklin?
Yeah. She's a big fan. I just really love Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin? Yeah. She's a big fan.
I just really love Benjamin Franklin.
Do you? Yeah, big fan.
Okay, why? Do I ask why?
No, he was hot.
Benjamin Franklin. Ben the cat. It was the hair. It was the hair for me too.
Ben the cat. Just sexy.
John the dog. Sexy white
hair. Have you got an animal
with a name that fits that?
You know?
Have you got a Stephen?
Oh, Stephen's a great one.
Damien.
Damien the dog.
Damien the dog.
Damien.
I love, you know, I've always been a massive advocate for dogs or pets with human names.
Human names, yeah.
Both my dogs have human names, Whitney and Meryl. Oh, true.
Whenever I'm at the dog park, Meryl
stands out because people are like,
is your dog named Meryl? My brother's
always wanted a little dog and he wanted to name it
Tim. Tiny Tim.
Tiny Tim. Come here. Tiny Tim. Yeah, that's cute.
Okay, get them in fast. We haven't got much time,
but does your dog or cat or
ex-lottle have
a human name?
God, we've had a lot of replies. but does your dog or cat or ex-lottle have a human name? Brianne Clint.
God, we've had a lot of replies.
So many great ones as well.
So many great ones pouring in.
So many good ones.
Someone said that they have two horses with human names,
Walter and Arthur.
Who are you going to ride today, Walter or Arthur?
You didn't go ride Walter.
Man, I've got a sore arse. I've been riding Walter
all day.
My Cocker Spaniel's name is Gordon.
I have a cat
called Graham. He's grey.
So we called him
Graham. I mean, makes
sense. Someone said
our Labradoodle's name is Dave.
Dave the Labradoodle.
Dave the Labradoodle. Dave the labradoodle.
Matt's here on 0800 dials at M.
Hi, Matt.
Hi, Matt.
G'day.
You got an animal with a human name?
Yeah, I've got a, he's an Irish terrier.
His name's Kenny.
Kenny.
Kenny the Irish terrier.
He's called Kenny because, like, he's a red-haired dog,
and Kill Kenny's a great beer from Ireland.
And then one day, hopefully, I'll be able to yell,
Kilkenny, kill, when we're at the pub.
Yeah.
Or if you have to take him to the vet and they need to put him down,
you'll have to order a...
Oh!
No, let me get it out.
You'll have to order a Kilkenny.
Oh, I feel sad just thinking about that.
Yeah, that was sad. Once you've committed to a joke, though, you just thinking about that. Yeah, that was sad.
Once you've committed to a joke, though, you have to follow through.
Yeah, you may have to.
Yeah, you've got to do it.
Have a great weekend, Matt.
Shout out to Kenny.
He's not going to now.
Sorry about that, Matt.
One Kilkenny, please.
Sir, that's not how you request for your dog to be put down.
Andrea's here, and you've got an animal with a human name.
Andrea?
Yeah, hi there. Hi, what is it?
We have, we've got
Bruce for our dog, our Labradoodle
dog. Bruce? And then we've also,
my partner had a dog called Bob for a
girl and then Camel Toe for a cat.
Wait, wait, wait.
You've got Bob for a girl.
And did you say Camel
Toe for a cat? Yeah. Why did you say camel toe for a cat?
Yeah.
Why did you call it camel toe?
Oh, it just kind of came about.
What the hell?
Yeah, it was quite funny calling it. I do see the connection with naming the cat camel toe.
Visible.
How do you find that connection, Brie?
Yeah, Brie, how do you find that connection?
I've said enough today, actually.
Well, obviously, Andrea, the connection is that camels are an animal
and so are cats, and that's how they're connected.
Absolutely, yeah.
We'll go with that.
I thought it's because you could see the outline of the cat.
Mark's here.
Hi, Mark. Hi, Mark.
Hi, Mark.
Yeah, g'day, guys.
How's it going?
Good, thanks.
Tell us, do you have a human name for your pet?
Yeah, we've got two pets.
We've got a Huntway Cross Lab who's called Bruce.
Bruce.
Bruce, popular name for the dogs?
Yeah, 100%.
And then we've also got a Persian chinchilla cat called Gary.
Gary.
I like that.
Gary, get off the bench.
Yeah, literally.
A funny story.
I was playing cricket one year, and the opposition team had a dog with them.
And when they went into field, they came over to me and said,
is this your dog?
I went, yep.
She goes, do you mind if you look after our dog while we're out fielding?
I went, yep, no worries whatsoever.
I said, what's your dog's name?
And they go, my dog's name's Linda.
And I was like, sweet, Linda.
Meet Bruce.
Bruce, meet Linda.
Bruce, meet Linda.
That's so good.
The dog named Linda.
Linda the dog.
That's amazing.
That's all Ripper.
That's perfect, Mark.
Thank you, Mark.
I really enjoyed Bob the dog.
I really like Linda the dog.
I enjoyed talking to Andrea, although I feel like Andrea would be a great name for a cat as well,
wouldn't it?
Andrea would be a great name for a cat,
but they couldn't name it Andrea because they had such a good name with Camel Toe.
Camel Toe.
True.
Maybe Andrea could change her name to Camel Toe,
and then we give the cat Andrea.
Yeah.
You know, that would work too.
What's crazy is Andrea said that they also had a dog named Moose Knuckle.
Yeah, they did.
They had the duo, the pair.
Yeah, Moose Knuckle and the camel toe.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can't have one without the other.
They had a parrot called VPL.
Bree and Clint.
Time for a Friday-oke.
Ladies and gentlemen, Bree and Clint's Friday-oke. That's right.
We're back for another week of Fridayoke.
We will punish you again, mostly your ears.
And this week I have chosen an absolute ripper from Dua Lipa.
To celebrate the announcement that she will be coming back to the country to perform for all of us.
And the sales have been so good that they've added more shows already.
She should be doing Spark Arena.
Yeah.
She should be doing Eden Park.
Eden Park.
Yeah.
I knew what you meant.
Yeah.
Get her in the domain. Yeah. Full round stadium doing Eden Park. Eden Park. Yeah. I knew what you meant. Yeah. Get her in the domain.
Yeah.
Full round stadium.
Get her outside.
Yeah, out in the fresh air.
Get her in the fresh air.
Open this bad boy up.
Let's see what she can really do.
So we've done our best Houdini's.
You're going to hear Bree's Houdini.
Then you're going to hear my Houdini.
And then, if you're kind enough or bold enough,
we'd love you to pick the winner of our Dua Lipa Friday Oki today.
If there is one.
Breeze first.
Here it comes.
Okay.
Here's Breeze Lipa for Friday Oki on ZM.
I come and I go.
Tell me all the ways you need me.
I'm not here for long.
Catch me or I go. Houdini, I come and I go
Prove you got the right to please me, everybody knows
Catch me or I go, Houdini
Time is passing like a solar eclipse
See you watching and you blow me a kiss
It's not bad. Come and I go. Prove you've got the right to please me. Everybody knows.
Catch me or I go.
Routine.
It's not bad.
It's the middle bit that's hard.
It was very hard.
The bits on the outside are fine.
They're really nothing.
It's kind of just motto.
It's all that middle bit, eh?
Yeah, you have to really just find your range
and stick with what you're going to go with.
I thought your falsetto bit was quite good.
Oh, thank you.
It's a moment, baby.
Don't let it slip.
Don't let it slip.
That's the bit that I'm really worried about hearing from my one.
But I can't wait.
Yeah, but we've done it.
I can't wait.
Let's hear it.
So here comes mine.
Let's go.
After this, you can pick the winner.
You can tell us who did the best Dua Lipa.
Maybe we'll both want to disappear after this
Like Houdini
I come and I go
Tell me all the ways you need me
I'm not here for long
Catch me or I go, Houdini
I come and I go
Prove you got the right to please me
Everybody knows
Catch me or I go, Houdini
Time is passing like a solar eclipse
See you watching and you blow me a kiss
It's your moment baby, don't let it slip
Coming closer, are you reading my lips?
They say I come and I go
Tell me all the ways you need me
I'm not here for long Catch me or I go. Tell me all the ways you need me. I'm not here for long.
Catch me or I go, Houdini.
I come and I go.
Prove you got the right to please me.
Everybody knows.
Catch me or I go, Houdini.
Pretty good.
Hot.
Those were two hot Dua Lipa renditions that you just said.
Some of your, I don't know what the word for it is,
but some of your inflections
reminded me of how Mama Di sings.
Catch me in the goal.
Hooray!
Hooray!
Do you want to pick the winner of Friday Oaky this week?
You should.
You should call 0800-DIAL-ZM right now and cast a vote.
We need five people live on air to pick a winner for this competition.
Yes.
The texts don't really give us much of an indication.
What about the text where someone has said,
Bree sounds like she's nursing a gunshot wound.
Nursing a gunshot wound.
Well, get it in.
You know, it helps.
It helps us learn and grow.
That's so funny.
What does it even sound like?
Well, you're Houdini apparently.
Well, my Houdini, yeah.
We'll get a winner straight after this song.
One song and then we'll be back with the champion for Friday Oki this week.
Bree and Clint.
You just heard us take on Dua Lipa,
who's coming back to the country in 2025 for Friday Oki,
and now it's time to pick a winner.
Friday Oki!
I really hope that we don't ever have to play these for her.
Oh.
Because she's coming back to the country.
If we get offered an interview.
I wouldn't do that to us.
I'd do that with a lot of other artists.
I'd do it with George Ezra.
I'd play him out George Ezra's.
But not do her?
No, not do her.
I don't think she would find it funny.
I think she'd be very offended.
And I...
Wouldn't she be offended?
I wouldn't think she'd be offended.
I'd just be worried about embarrassing myself
in front of Dua Lipa.
Why?
Because you reckon you've got a chance before that?
Well, I definitely don't have a chance if she hears this.
Breeze to a Leeper sounded like this.
He's done us a kindness
here. He's loaded the good bit. I come and I go Tell me all the ways you need me I'm not here for long
Catch me or I go Houdini
That was definitely the stronger part.
The good bit.
The good bit, yeah.
We've got five calls ready to pick the winner of Friday Okie for another week
and Charlie's going to go first.
Kia ora, Charlie.
Hi, Charlie.
Hello.
What do you reckon, Charlie?
Who had the best Houdini?
I reckon Brie.
Oh, take it, mate.
Put me in a straight jacket and call me
Dua Lipa. What did you like so much about
Bree's Dua Lipa, Charlie?
You sound a bit flat, Clint. Not gonna lie.
I asked you what you liked
about Bree's, not what you didn't
like about mine, Charlie.
I'm the default vote. I'll take it.
Thanks, Charlie. Have a great weekend.
I'll take any note. What did I like about Breeze?
Well, Clint sucked.
Ella's here.
Hi, Ella.
Hi, Ella.
Hi.
Hi.
How old are you, Ella?
I'm eight.
You're eight.
And do you like listening to Friday Okie?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's why we do it, Ella.
And you have big power here.
You can cast your vote for either me, Bree, or Clint.
Bree.
Bree.
Thank you, Ella.
I'll ask you the same question I asked Charlie.
What did you like about Bree's?
What did you like about Bree's?
It was a bit better than yours.
That is the criteria.
She roasted you harder than Charlie.
Matilda is here.
Hi, Matilda. Hi, Matilda is here. Hi, Matilda.
Hi, Matilda.
Hi.
Hi.
Matilda, tell us your feedback.
What are your thoughts?
I think Clint.
Thank you, Matilda.
And I'll ask you, Matilda, what did you like about Clint?
I think it was just Peter.
Because you said yours is old.
Who, me?
Yeah, Brie.
You know why, Matilda?
From the mouths of babes.
It's because I am getting over the hill, that's why.
Thank you, Matilda.
You have a lovely weekend.
2-1 in favour of Brie.
Paula's here.
Hi, Paula.
Hi, Paula.
Hi, guys.
Hi.
A sensible adult to bring some sense to Friday Oaky.
And don't put that much pressure on me.
You know, an educated ear.
Paula might be mature, but I don't know about being an adult.
Paula knows her music.
She knows her performances.
Sounds like you know what you're talking about, Paula.
Well, this is the first time that I've rung in for this.
Okay.
And it's the first time that I've heard the karaoke.
Which I was privileged to
hear. Wow, virgin ears.
I think you were privileged not to hear it up
until this point.
No, one was slightly more
strained, I think, than the other. And I do
have to admit, it came down to those middle bits that
made the difference for me. And I
feel that Brie was a little more
strained than Clint. So my vote is for you, Clint. I am feel that Brie was a little more strained than Clint,
so my vote is for you, Clint.
I am shocked and surprised.
So am I, Paula.
And I appreciate it.
You have a great weekend, Paula.
Thank you so much.
See you, Paula.
Can you believe after that start that we are here at tiebreak
and it all comes down to Liz?
Hi, Liz.
G'day, Liz.
Kia ora, team.
How are we?
We're good.
Thank you, Liz.
You've got all the power this week in Friday, okay?
So your vote will determine the winner.
What do you think?
Honestly, Brie, I was listening to it,
and I thought there's no way she could win this
until I heard Clint.
Sorry, Clint.
Yep.
That's the way it's going today.
So just checking, you're voting for Brie?
Yeah, that's correct.
Yeah.
They say I come and I go.
Tell me all the ways you need me.
I'm not here for long.
Catch me or I go.
Houdini.
It was my falsetto that got it over the line, wasn't it, Liz?
It was, yeah, it was it.
Yeah, that was it.
Yeah.
Liz is like, yeah, sure, we can go with that.
Thanks, everybody.
Have you got a suggestion on what we should do for Friday Oaky next week?
You can always text that in to 9696.
We'll consider it.
We'd love to hear your suggestions.
Next, we're going to do a birthday banger.
Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, we're going to try and rig it.
Sorry, I have to stop this.
There's a chance we could end this week perfectly
if we can rig Birthday Banger.
Yes.
Okay?
To rig it, we need people to call
who were either born in 1978 or 1979
because our goal is to get a very specific artist
on air for Birthday Banger today.
Let's not say.
Let's not say.
Let's not say who, but
we're trying to rig for the first
time ever that we
are trying to rig Birthday Banger.
It's still not a guarantee, but if you were born
in the year 1978 or it's 1979,
please make today
the day that you call 0800 dial ZM.
We need your help. We want you to call
0800 dial ZM
right now. Let's see if we can make this dream
a reality.
You just missed Friday Okie. Sorry
you missed it. Someone texted us and said
Friday Okie was so bad this week I had to
wind my windows up.
Well we appreciate you
being embarrassed in
secret. In secret. Yeah, not
changing the station. But just winding the windows up.
Just making sure no one knows that you're listening to Friday Yogi.
God.
That's dedication.
It does not go unnoticed.
Spring and cleanse.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Birthday bangers, hopefully with a bit of a twist today.
Has it been rigged?
No.
No.
No.
We just asked for something very specific.
We asked people born in either 1978 or 1979 to call.
That's all we said.
We didn't say what artists we were hoping to come up,
and we won't say what artists we're hoping to come up.
We'll just see how it plays out.
That's up to the birthday banger gods.
Exactly.
Isn't it?
Yes, it is.
We would never interfere.
We would never do that.
No, no, no.
No.
First to play birthday banger is Angie.
Hi, Angie. Hi, Angie. Hello. No. First to play birthday banger is Angie. Hi, Angie.
Hi, Angie.
Hello.
Hello.
How's your week been, Ang?
I'm glad it's Friday.
It's a very long week.
I hear you.
I hear you, mate.
I'm going home for a couple of wines, I believe.
Oh, that sounds delightful.
Angie, have you fulfilled our mission today?
Were you either born in 1978 or 1979?
Yes, indeed.
Okay, what is your
date of birth?
The 3rd of the 1st, 1978.
Oh, you've got the
same birthday as me.
Except you were 16.
You were 16.
Yeah, it's meant to be.
You're 16 in 1994
and this is your
birthday banger.
If my ears don't deceive me,
I believe that's Hootie and the Blowfish.
Is that Hootie?
And the Blowfish.
And the Blowfish.
What do you reckon, Ange?
Oh, that's not bad.
That is not bad.
Pretty good.
Not bad.
Pretty good. Is that the artist we were looking for?
Well, we couldn't say.
Claudia, I think we've lost one, but we will get them back.
Kerri-Ann is here. Hi, Kerri-Ann. Hi, I think we've lost one, but we will get them back. Kerri-Ann is here.
Hi, Kerri-Ann.
Hi, Kerri-Ann.
Hi, guys.
You got any plans for the weekend, Kerri-Ann?
Summer sports starts this weekend.
Does it really?
So that's your softball?
Softball.
Weird choice.
Softball and your...
Cricket?
Cricket.
What sport specifically, Kerri-Ann?
Softball.
Oh, it was softball.
I nailed it.
I take it all back.
I'm very sorry.
Kerri-Ann, please tell us what your date of birth is.
The 27th of July, 1979.
Oh, she's hit the money.
16, Kerri-Ann, in 1995.
And this was at the top.
I get a word if I'm lucky. 16, Kerri-Ann, in 1995. And this was at the top.
I only want to be with you.
Are you joking?
Are you kidding me?
More Hootie and the Blowfish?
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought?
Oh, Kerri-Ann.
Kerri-Ann, you get Hootie and the Blowfish.
I only want to be with you.
Number one in 1995.
What do you think?
Oh, look, it's a banger.
It's a banger.
Absolute tune, Kerri-Ann.
These two Hootie and the Blowfish songs in a row.
It's so weird.
God, we're lucky.
I know.
It's just pure luck.
It's just pure luck.
Angie's here as well.
Hi, Angie.
Hi, Ange.
Hi.
I don't think there's any way it could go three from three,
but we're going to try, Ange.
What is your date of birth? I'm first of
the third, 1978.
Alright, so you're the opposite of
our first, Angie, but you were
16 also in 1994,
and this is yours.
Just let her cry.
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
If the tears fall down.
A trilogy!
It's a global radio first.
Three Hootie and the Blowfish songs. It's a global radio first. Three Hootie and the Blowfish songs.
It's a school of blowfish.
What do you reckon, Angie?
Do you like it?
I love it.
I love it too.
Ang, how can you go past it?
Well, one thing's for sure.
I'll be voting for Hootie and the Blowfish today.
Yeah, well, you have to.
But which? Ooh. It's quite clear cut for sure. I'll be voting for Hootie and the Blowfish today. Yeah, well, you have to. But which?
Ooh.
It's quite clear cut for me, to be honest.
Is it?
Yeah.
I'm voting for Angie number two in Let Her Cry.
Me too.
Are you?
That's the best Hootie and the Blowfish song, I think.
Angie, it was tough, but you are the winner of Birthday Banger today,
the Hootie and the Blowfish special. Congratulations.
Awesome. Thank you.
We thank you for your service, Angie.
Go have a good weekend.
No one plays more Hootie
and the Blowfish than the Brian Clint show.
No one! Go and challenge us.
You're on ZM.
ZM. ZM Brinkland, the home of Hootie and the Blowfish.
That is the winner of Birthday Banger today for Angie from 1994.
Guys, look.
I mean, I just want to read out this text and then I want to say one thing.
Someone said, Hootie and the Blowfish trilogy has absolutely made my day.
Thank you, guys. Had a crap day at work
and I'm now sitting in my driveway
with the radio crank singing along
with Darius after laughing at you like
a crazy person. Thanks again.
See, fills the cup.
Off the back of that message, should we go back to back
blowies?
Should we
go the double?
Should we go the double? Should we go the double?
Only Want To Be With You is a fantastic song.
I don't think you'll regret it.
I really don't.
I don't think you will.
It's never a bad thing to go back to back.
You know, at times like these,
you've got to default to your executive producer, you know, because...
I think we leave it up to Claudia.
Yeah. The EP, come on. Claude I think we leave it up to Claudia. Yeah.
The EP, come on.
Claude, can we go back-to-back blowies?
What do you reckon?
Well, when you put it like that, I can't say no.
Yeah!
Someone just texted and said,
no-one regrets another blowie.
It's never been done.
It's back-to-back Hootie and the Blowfish on ZM.
ZM, Bree and Clint, don't change the station.
You are not mistaken.
We did just play back-to-back Hootie and the Blowfish on ZM.
We like to call it the B2BBs.
The B2BBs.
The back-to-back blowies.
Oh, exactly right.
Someone just texted and said,
bloody legends with the two blowies.
I'm singing my lungs out in my car on the way home from swimming lessons.
Have a great weekend.
Someone else said,
what an effing Friday.
Up the blowies. We agree.
Nothing better than a back-to-back
blowie. Someone else said this was our walk
back down the aisle song after we got married.
Good times. Hey look, there's a
chance because we're in such uncharted
waters as far as commercial radio goes.
I don't think that's ever been done, back-to-back
blowies on the radio. And it might never be
done again. It may never be done again. We just ask
that you support us in this situation.
If you can just text 9696
and just say, I love the blowies.
Just so there's a record
of, you know, if management were to
get involved, there's a record there on 9696
of the text machine. Just how much you liked it.
Like a record of the passion. Like if we get in trouble,
we can say, look at the text machine.
The blowies made people
happy. That's what it's all about on a Friday.
Yeah, exactly right.
You know?
So, thank you.
We appreciate it.
Here they come.
Imagine when Ross goes into this text machine
and just sees all these texts.
I love a blowie on a Friday.
Yeah.
Who doesn't?
Who doesn't?
I mean, any day of the week.
Love the blowies.
Oh, yes.
Thank you, guys.
We appreciate everyone that's texting through. I love the blowies. Oh, yes. Thank you, guys. We appreciate everyone that's texting through.
I love the blowies.
My wife doesn't, though.
Someone said no one does better double blowies than Brian Clint.
Exactly right.
And if we're known for one thing?
It's the double blowies.
Let it be that.
Brian Clint.
We're back next.
Brian Clint.
All right, everyone.
Gather round.
Gather round.
There's a study that's been done about the star signs
and which star signs are the easiest to love
and which ones are the hardest to love.
I was saying to you at lunch today that a woman came over to me last night
and I introduced myself and she said,
yes, I know, we've never met, but I know that you're an Aquarius.
That was her opening line to me.
And I said, how do you know that I'm an Aquarius?
And she said, honey, because I'm an Aquarius too.
Oh, really?
I was like, is that how it works?
Okay.
You're just giving Aquarian energy.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Well, let's see where you are on this list.
Producers, just at the start of this, and obviously everyone listening,
you can see where you are on the list.
So Clint is an Aquarius.
Ella is a Scorpio.
And Claudia is a Gemini.
Well done.
I'm a Capricorn.
And so let's kick it off.
Do you want easiest to hardest?
What?
Easiest to hardest what?
I think so.
Easiest to love.
Oh.
Easiest star signs to love to the hardest star signs to love.
People.
Yes.
People with these star signs.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Who's easiest?
So there's different categories. People. Yes. People with these star signs. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Who's easiest?
So there's different categories.
There's the group of easiest to love and the ones that are in the easiest to love category are cancer.
They're number one.
Easiest to love people.
Okay.
Cancer.
I'm only listening out for mine.
Yeah, me too. Number two, Pisces.
Easiest to love.
Very easy to love, apparently, the Pisces. Number two, Pisces. Easiest to love. Very easy to love,
apparently, the Pisces. Number
three, Libra.
They're
in the easiest to love category. And the last
one in the easiest to love group
is Taurus.
Really? So none of us.
None of us. But Taurus
made the list. But could
we make it into the medium to love?
So sometimes we're really easy to love, sometimes maybe not as easy.
So we're just fine.
We're medium.
I would argue that that's what you want in a partner.
You don't want too much one way or you don't want too much the other way.
You want nice, stable, you know?
Yeah, a little bit of work.
Yeah, I think so.
First one in that group, Aries.
Well done, Aries. Well done, Aries.
Number six, Leo.
Oh, my God.
Interesting.
Number seven, it's one of us.
Good luck, everyone.
Gemini.
Oh, what?
Claudia has made it.
Oh, I'm stoked with that.
There's only one spot left, which means minimum two of us are in the bottom category.
Number eight in the medium to love category, Capricorn.
I'm like, give me breathe.
Let's go, baby.
Let's go.
I'm not happy about this.
The hardest to love, but you still might not be the hardest.
Okay.
Okay? Yeah. Number love, but you still might not be the hardest. Okay. Okay?
Yeah.
Number nine, Aquarius.
I'm not the worst.
That's my goal in life, don't be the worst.
You're not the worst?
Yeah.
Number 10, Sagittarius.
Uh-oh.
Number 11, second to last, Scorpio.
It's not last, Ella.
It's not last.
That was looking bad.
Number 12, the hardest star sign to love is Virgo.
But they try harder.
But they do try hard.
They try very hard.
Bree and Clint.
And that'll do, pig, for another week of the Bree and Clint show.
Yay, my mic's on.
It wasn't on for a bit.
Yeah, that's okay.
I'm sick of my voice too.
I'm in charge of Bree's microphone.
You might not know that.
In the studio, I'm in charge of it.
He also keeps on a leash in here.
Which I said no to, but the bosses seemed to be okay with it.
Yeah, but when you said no, you winked.
Yeah, I know.
I was making a joke.
I said, hey, that leash that you ordered arrived.
Do you want me to put it on you?
And you said no.
Oh, I see where the confusion has happened.
No, wink.
I don't really know what winks mean.
Like, I'm definitely not going to go home and eat a whole lasagna to myself.
On a leash.
On a leash.
Well, anyway, it's Friday, so we're off the leash for a couple of days.
See you guys on Monday.
