Starting point is 00:06:11 Hell of a first week back for the year for the Trades. Dead Am's Brie and Clint Podcast. Timmy Hembrow. You know who that is? Nah. You said before the show that you definitely know who Tammy Hembrow is. Just kidding. I follow her for her fitness content.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Oh, yeah. Do you take fitness tips from her? She's got a good meal plan. Okay. She hits her macros, that's for sure. Tammy Hembrough. I'm done with this conversation. I want to talk about her and her ex-husband, Matt Zawoski.
Starting point is 00:06:43 He's on, I'm a celebrity, get me out of here at the moment. What are you doing? Why are you pointing to your bum? None of your business. Oh my God. Anyway, they were married for like three months and then broker. He's been talking about it on I'm a celebrity, get me out here, Australia. Is he a celebrity?
Starting point is 00:07:03 I'm pretty sure he first was on Love Island. Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure. And then he kind of got more famous because he dated Tammy Hembrow. And then obviously their relationship was very part. publicised and then their breakup very heavily publicised. She's a very big deal on Instagram. She's a... She's got almost 17 million...
Starting point is 00:07:26 She's an Aussie. Huge influencer. She's got almost 17 million followers. She's got three kids? Three kids? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, three kids. She's posted a video coincidentally this week,
Starting point is 00:07:36 the same week he's been talking about their relationship on the TV. Talking about the tattoos that she's going to get removed that relate to him in their relationship. Oh, ex tattoos. Gutted. X tattoos, indeed. Gutted. I wonder how long they were actually together.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Because I know for a fact they were married for three months, but I don't know how long that relationship actually went for. Surely it was a number of years, if she's got multiple tattoos. Matt Zuckowski. Matt Zuck O-W-S-K-I. They were together. They were married for seven months. No, that's what was in the media,
Starting point is 00:08:22 but he has said on the show that that was actually only three. Oh, you're buzzy. Yeah, not sure. Not sure. Anyway, do you want to hear the tattoos that she had? I think we have some audio of Tammy Hembrow, talking about the tattoos that she is about to get removed. So my tattoos, I'm getting removed, are my wedding date.
Starting point is 00:08:43 No surprise there. And then I have my ex's name down on my hip. which I also don't need that one. Got it. Yeah. Because they're not even repurposable. Like, the date is the date and the name is the name. They're very just blater.
Starting point is 00:09:00 If it's a flower and you go, this flower represents us. You can go, oh no, it's... Now represents... It's for Deffodil Day. Yeah. Yeah. You know, just move it into something else. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:09 I didn't really... Are people still getting, like, their partner's name tattooed? Oh, evidently. Yeah. Mm. I just don't think... It's cursed, in my opinion. I'm a clean skin.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I have no tattoos. You're inked up. Are any of yours to do with previous relationships? No. No? Claudia's running some tats. You've got your ex's tattoo name. Do you?
Starting point is 00:09:31 Do you have an ex-tot? On your body? It's cross my chest. Yeah. I got a full back piece too. On your bra line. No, I don't have any and I would never even get a matching tattoo with a friend. No.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Too risky. Neither one I, yeah. I feel like they're cursed. Because you can't keep friends, eh, Claudia? Yeah. Ella, any X tattoos for you? You've got a few tattoos. I do, but no, surprisingly.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Nothing to do with a relationship. What about your husband? Any tattoos to do with him? Would you get a husband tattoo? Yeah, get his face on my back. You should, oh, you should get his name on your eyebrow. I have thought about, you know, on the lips, on the lip tats doing that. That's a chicken out tattoo because no one can see it.
Starting point is 00:10:10 No, but it's fun. It's like an oldy, like quirky thing to pull out of the party. Hey, guys. Who's my husband's name? But I have, fun fact, we're on tattoos. Just if you do that, remember you have to get it done upside down. Yes. Oh, God, I know.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah, yeah. I have, though. Yeah, because that would make it awful if you didn't. One time I am in COVID, I was giving my sister a hand-poked tattoo on her bum, and Mom caught us. As you do. It says, well, kind of says, because we didn't finish it, Slay. Oh, no. And also, she's got like a half flower on her arm.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Mom also caught us. Sister tattoos. You need to stop giving your sister tattoos. Yeah, no, I have. That was a COVID thing. Sister tattoos is another conversation. We want to talk about ex tattoos this afternoon. And the tattoos that are still on your body from a relationship that you no longer have.
Starting point is 00:11:00 And do you wish they weren't there? Or maybe you've tried to get it covered up. Maybe you've begun getting it removed. Yeah. Or maybe it's just there. And you're like, eh. I'd love to hear a story about how a relationship was perfect. And then they got the names tattooed on each other.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Oh, that jinks it? And it jinkster and the relationship went south. Dead is Franklin. Tattoos, I've never had a tattoo and I've never had a tattoo removed. But it does kind of seem like they're not as forever as they used to be. Is that a fair thing to say? Or is it still pretty like... Unless, I mean, they are pretty forever.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Takes 12 sessions to get rid of a tattoo. But what about like those fine line ones that like our producer Ella has got? Like, surely those wispy little things would laser right off Ella. Well, that's been my whole mindset. of getting all these tattoos. I'm kind of at that thing of I'm like, intent-wist. Yeah, and there's going to be a futuristic cream in like 30-year-time
Starting point is 00:11:55 where it'll magically disappear. That's kind of why I've got a lot. That's a lot of people's logic when it comes to like vaping as well. They're like, yeah, but there'll be a cure. Clint. No, not me, just people. You know, I feel like that's people's attitude towards everything these days. Yeah, no, that's valid.
Starting point is 00:12:11 That's a future me problem. Yeah, exactly. It's all good, man. Exactly right. I regret. So we're asking you the stuff. afternoon. Did you get a tattoo with an X? Well, it wouldn't have been an X at the time, I'd say. But with a partner and now you regret it.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Vicky, you're running an X tattoo? Yeah, yep, I am. I've got my partner and, ex-partner and my initials on my boo. Okay. On your boo? One on each, Vicki? No. No, altogether. Okay. And our name's Tracy and Vicki, but being a lesbian, I just kind of run with tits of vaginas now that When people go, what's the TNV for you?
Starting point is 00:12:52 It's TNV. What do you think it is? Tits and veg. Yeah, yeah, right. I like that, Vicky. Well, I'm a lesbian, you see. So the T's for Tits. We can run with that.
Starting point is 00:13:02 It works, Vicky. It works. Would you say, Vicky, would you ever get a tattoo with a partner again? No, I don't mind initials. I've got my best friend's initials on me. Oh, God, Vicki. And we would get us 20 years, so there's no regrets there. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I was going to say you're such a lesbian, Vicki, aren't you? You meet someone first date. You're like, let's get a tattoo together. Let's move in together. I love it. You haul, you haul. Let's you haul it, Vicky. You've just got to make sure the initials are multi-purpose when you get them.
Starting point is 00:13:34 And Vicki thought about that beforehand, you know? She's like, oh, tin some vaginas. Word on the street is, it never meant Tracy and whatever the other ones. That's what I think, too, Vicky. Yeah. We asked, did you get a tattoo with an ex? Someone said, I got a surprise tattoo with my now ex-boyfriend. He picked butterflies with our child's name.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And I picked the girl's name that turned out to be the girl that he cheated on me with. Wait. So they went to get a tattoo together. Yeah. Obviously, maybe she was like, let's go get a tattoo. He picked their daughter's name with butterflies and she's gotten the girl's name that he cheated on her with. So is their daughter named after the woman that he cheated with? No, I think what she's saying is she's like,
Starting point is 00:14:21 I got the woman's name that you cheated on me with tattooed on me. Why would you do that? I don't know. Why would anybody do that? Maybe she picked it out just as like a... You've read that very different to me? Yeah, I need more. I need clarity.
Starting point is 00:14:34 I feel like their daughter either has the same name coincidentally as the woman that he cheated with, or he has asked to name their daughter after the woman that he was sleeping with, which I have heard of that. I'm so confused now, yeah, it could be. Or, so he picked butterflies with our child's name, and I picked the girl's name that he cheated on me with. Oh, I'm so confused. I'm really confused.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Hopefully that person takes back. Should have got TNV. Yeah, TNV is just simple. TNV, you know? D&B. Keep it simple. Keep it simple. Stupid.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Z.N.'s. Brianclent. The T. Live from L.A. with D. McCarthy. It's all about Harry Stiles and the new music and a world tour announcement today as well, Dean. I love being the bearer of good news, everybody. Harry Stiles is coming down under. He's doing 50 shows across seven cities picking off in May.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Now, I don't, I'm not the Oracle or anything, but I did predict this on television. a few weeks ago, not just saying, I didn't see this coming. But here's the thing. So he's doing London, Amsterdam, South Paulo, Mexico City, New York, and then coming to Sydney and Melbourne. Aren't you guys sending some listeners?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yes, we are. At the moment, we have five trips to Sydney to see Harry Stiles live. And that's the full trip. Yeah, yeah. That's everything. We're going to sort it out. It's not just the tickets.
Starting point is 00:16:02 We'll get you there too. Dean, correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like quite a different way of touring. Taylor slipped at her air as to her. She went everywhere. Harry's doing 50 shows but only in seven locations. Yeah, it is a different way to do it. I mean, I suppose he's like, what's saying?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Build it and they will come. I think he's part of looking at it like that. I'm like, I'm just going to do all these shows. People will travel in to see me cheaper for him to just get one spot. Yeah, it definitely is. I know last album he did, he basically did a residency at Madison Square Gardens. He sat up there and he did Harry's house and did. a bunch of shows there.
Starting point is 00:16:43 So, yeah, good, good. I mean, we've got to fly there, which is annoying, but... I think we're just too small and too far away. I think we have to be thankful the people that do come here, like Ed Sharon, and just accept that some people just won't come to New Zealand anymore. Yeah. It's sad, though. Hopefully...
Starting point is 00:17:02 Because I felt like it was... It kind of changed all of a sudden, and then everyone's like, oh, but it will go back. Yeah. You know, and then it kind of just hasn't. Maybe. We don't know. Either way, we can help you get there. You can get in the draw on our Instagram page. Now, if you search Zidim online. Do you like the new music, Dina? Are you a fan of the new Harry Styles music that came out today? I am obsessed. Obsessed. I think I'm so upset. You haven't heard it, have you, Dean?
Starting point is 00:17:31 No. Not a thing. Truth comes out. Oh, Dean, I love you so much. The T with Dean McCarthy. I did the morning show. Dean's like, guys, I live in L.A. I'm not going to listen to it as soon as it comes down.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Go on. Well, we'll play it for you after 4 o'clock, okay, if you haven't hit it. That's Tim McCarthy, is our Hollywood correspondent, and we're back after this on ZM. ZM's Breed and Clint podcast. A new global study has revealed that our most emotionally resident music tends to come from our teenage listening years, which is roughly the ages of 13 to 17. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Which, if you're like, what does that mean? Essentially, the music that you're listening to during those years, you have the most emotional connection to it. Yep. To it. Even when you listen to it now, it takes you back to the moment that you listen to it, the smells, what was going on in your life. Where you were. Where you were.
Starting point is 00:18:42 What posters were on your wall? Yeah. Well, those are your formative years, aren't you? Those are the years where you're figuring out who you are as a person. To a certain degree. And the music is the soundtrack of it. Yeah. So, yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Quite interesting. They've done something where they've done like MRI scans on people's brains and all kinds of studies. And they reckon that there's a certain part of your brain that lights up when it hears certain songs. Okay. That are attached to your past. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Interesting, man. It's the same with smells. Yeah. Same with smells. Music for me, yeah, 100%. I just have this, like, deep connection with music, where it does make me feel all these things. And in particular, certain songs,
Starting point is 00:19:29 and now this makes sense, it is from those years. Yeah. Anyone who had CDs, like if you put those CDs away, once everyone went to streaming. And then if you find them and you put them back on and you listen to the whole album like you used to, takes you back instantly. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:44 It's like a time machine. Yeah. Yeah. I thought we could go around the room and talk about, we don't have heaps of time. So let's just do one song that you were heavily listening to. The one that comes to mind first will be the big one, Mona. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I was listening to a lot of Michelle Branch. Because you're... It takes me back to my room in my boarding house. at the boarding school and I was so emotional you know going through my first heartbreak with the boarding mistress's son
Starting point is 00:20:20 This is not the artist I expected Really? Yeah What were you expecting? Like Veronica's I mean I had to pick one Or tattoo You're so basic
Starting point is 00:20:32 You know I just thought That's what I pictured Anyway Anyway Yeah cool, good Me Thanks for asking
Starting point is 00:20:39 I instantly go back to 15. I've got my first car. I got my Sony Explode subwiffer. Yeah. And 6x9s. Cool, man. And head unit in the car. Driving around Roe Rua.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Sick. With my big bore muffler. And what am I listening to? Lincoln Park. What have you did Hanson for you? You know it was Hanson. That was more 10. Not 15.
Starting point is 00:21:07 If I think about the song I was listening to in my first car, it would have been. Tokyo drift. Cool man. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Claudia, you're 15. What year were you 15? 2008.
Starting point is 00:21:24 And I was living out in the countryside. Didn't really have many friends around. It's been a long time listening to music by myself. Sad. But my biggest brag is that when I was 15, Taylor Swift dropped the fearless album and included the song 15. She wrote it about me.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Did you feel like she was speaking directly to you? did. I think when she dropped the 22 song, I was 22. Wow. So I have that same connection that you have, but with the older one. I'm hoping Taylor Swift brings out
Starting point is 00:21:59 a song called 40 next year. Oh, well, this would have had different. Did she do it for you at the Erez tour that you went to? Yes, she did. And I cried. Yeah, I bet. Does it take you back to your bedroom when you were that age? Yes, and like dancing around. Like outside, it's so much fun.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I hope Michelle Branch launches her errors tour soon for you, Bree. Michelle Branch is an icon, and you leave her alone. 20 minutes set. We're reminiscing about... You leave Michelle alone. She's got way more songs than what you think. What's Taylor Swift got? Like 14 albums? Big deal.
Starting point is 00:22:37 We're looking at the song that shaped us. They reckon 15 is the age that has the most impact on you as a person. Music-wise, like that's the music-wise. Like that's the music that will stick with you forever. So let's go back two or three years to when Ella was 15. What was the song, Ella? It's literally like five years ago. Yeah, it was 2015?
Starting point is 00:22:54 Sheesh, that's nine years ago. Was it 2015? Oh my gosh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, it was. Wow, such a long time. On Russia. You're just jealous.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I am jealous. That's the whole point. On road trips, mom would put Lady A on. And so I just need you now. It's like... Lady Antibalum. Yeah. This is way better than I expected.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yeah. Yeah. I was living in America when this came out. Oh, so good. Was it big over there? Huge. Why do they call themselves Lady A now and not Lady Antebellum? Because it's not appropriate, apparently.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Same when the Dixie checks changed to the checks. It was the same time they changed to Lady A. Really? Yeah. Is Lady Antebellum racist? I think it's to do with Confederate stuff. I've put up. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is.
Starting point is 00:23:53 You're right, cord. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, so I also listened to the radio. There was like Justin Bieber on at the time, but, you know. Was it, um, I feel like it would have been the Justin Bieber song where he's in the pool. Yeah, beauty and a beat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:06 They played beauty and a beat at the gym today. So good. And I was like, uh, bang on. You're getting your pump on. Yeah. Put that on the Friday James playlist. I reckon. Put that on right now.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Really? Yeah. Literally right now. Let's pop it on. It's either that or later. anti-antabellum and we just found out that's racist so I think we've taken up a notch with this Justin the ZM Podcast Network and someone just texted and said I cannot believe you just hit us with Hilary Duff yeah we did and she's back baby the memories of me making my parents move
Starting point is 00:24:44 their cars out of their garage so I could have my stage and blast this entire album Yeah, girl. Yeah, Hillary Duff's back too. I don't know if you've seen on social media, touring for the first time in 18 years. She looks great. She looks amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I said to you before that I was going to share Gwyneth Paltrow and her, oh, excuse me. Sometimes I wonder if you've been taught how to eat. I said, but the other day it's these new protein bars. They're awful. And your farts stink bad. They were 70% off these protein bars. I bought a whole box.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Yeah, there's probably a good reason why that was 70% off. Anyway, I'm good. Thanks for checking. Gwyneth Paltrow has shared her coping mechanism for anxiety. Okay. This is the Gwyneth Paltrow who launched the, this candle smells like my vagina. She's also the Gwyneth Paltrow who, at end of last year did an article where she said her and Chris Martin had a Māori divorce and I saw my friend Kara Rickard
Starting point is 00:25:53 who is somewhat of an expert in Tiao Māori and she said there's no such thing as a Māori divorce Yeah what is that? She's not real thing. I was like I've never heard of that before. Someone's tricked her. Someone said Oh yeah yeah if you pay us this much we'll do a Karakia for you and
Starting point is 00:26:07 you can say you've had a Māori divorce Yeah she can afford it. Anyway she's got an anxiety remedy and already people are skeptical Okay someone's texted and they said let me guess Gwyneth Paltrow's anti-anxiety remedy will probably be like finger up the bottom or something just like when my boss told me to use crystals
Starting point is 00:26:26 for my endometriosis. Oh God. Probably like tanning your perennium or something, knowing Gwyneth. It's not far off, to be honest. What does she say you should do for anxiety? Well, first of all, she has at least spoken about the fact
Starting point is 00:26:41 that she still experiences anxiety at 53 and as successful as she is. I don't doubt that. She has done an AMA on Instagram about her coping mechanisms. So she has a range of methods. She practices... Here we go. What are the range?
Starting point is 00:26:55 Gratitude. Okay. Deep breathing. Yep. Going for walks. Mm-hmm. And she said her favourite tool for dealing with anxiety. They're all pretty standard for dealing with anxiety.
Starting point is 00:27:08 She likes shouting at the bushes. Which bushes? The shrubbery. Okay. Interesting. If I saw someone shouting at a bush, I would probably call the police. You know? I'd be like, that person needs help.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yeah. Yes, producer Ella. It is very woo-woo, but I think I might enter that this year. You're going to try it? I read something similar where talking to the trees can help because they pass, they talk to each other. So what you pass your problems onto them? Yeah. And then the poor tree's got anxiety.
Starting point is 00:27:44 No, no, no. No, no. yelling at me again. No, don't say that. That and also tanning... I mean... Tanting your perennium. Yeah, that sounds fun.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Look, as the resident anxiety leader of the show, I would say... Is that a self-appointed title? Yeah, yeah, I've appointed to myself. She's the anxiety warden. I would say the best remedy is a larazepam, or if you can get your doctor to give it to you,
Starting point is 00:28:13 diazepam. Okay. I would suggest shouting into a pillow over shouting at a bush. But maybe Gwyneth Paltrow is so wealthy that her property is so large that there is a corner of her garden where she can scream at a bush and no one else hears it. Yeah, probably. Otherwise, you're just, like a bush is not sound deadening.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Like it's not going to absorb any of your screams. Yeah. I mean, I do kind of feel the vibes of when you do let it out. It is good. It does feel good. I'm not going to lie, but I don't get the bush part. Right. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you said, I'd probably rather do it from the comfort of my... Do it in a pillow. Bedroom. We've got a soundproof studio in here. Yeah. Who wants to give it a go? Well, if you do it, I'll turn your mic off, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can do it. Go and do it. Turn my mic off. Turn my mic off. Yeah. Oh, that sounds like she was giving birth.
Starting point is 00:29:10 We managed to hear you through two sheets of soundproof glass right then. Do you feel better? That's the question. Do you feel better? So much better. Okay. I directed at you, Clint. Okay, no, there's the remedy.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Scream at Clint. Yeah. Should I make myself available? I have a picture of you at home. You're on my pillowcase. I'll bet you do. I throw darts at it. It's ZAM's Bree and Clint podcast.

Starting point is 00:33:03 It's Harry. daylight and then the rest anyway. Yeah, it is. Okay, it's okay, Laura, we can still do it. You can win it for us here, okay? It's 2-1. We're still match point. You ready to go?

Starting point is 00:33:45 Someone said, get rid of Friday, okay. Terrible. No, sorry, that wasn't an option. It's staying. And we're going to do it very soon. We're not open to anyone else's opinion on that feature. Not even management. The kids love it.
Starting point is 00:34:02 A ZM's Brinklin podcast. I want to do this. I want to read out this. Am I the A-hole that I saw online from someone who skipped their own surprise birthday party? I mean, why are they the A-hole? They wouldn't have known it was on. No, they did know. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:34:20 But that's not a surprise then. What's your opinion on surprise parties? If it's done right, then I'm all for it. Are you? Yeah. Okay. Can I request? I don't think you guys ever would
Starting point is 00:34:33 but can you never plan me a surprise party please God, it makes me just want to throw you one now I just don't I like to know what's happening and I like to know I like to have my own plans and I like to be able to say no thanks if you do do something
Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah we know Yeah But that's why it is in a week That's why it would be so fun No thank you No To throw our version of Clint's party Also you know how easily I scare
Starting point is 00:34:58 Like if I walk into a room And 20 people went Surprise! I may have a heart attack. Anyway, I'll read you this. It's an Am I the A-Hole that I found on Reddit? It says, I've never been big on birthdays. I don't hate them.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I just prefer something more low-key, like dinner with close friends. Everyone knows this, especially my sister Maya, who loves big gestures, balloons, themed parties, the works. Two weeks before my birthday, Maya kept asking me if I'd be free that Saturday and acted strange when I, asked why. I told her again I don't want a party. She laughed
Starting point is 00:35:35 it off and said, ha ha ha, you're just being boring. The night before my birthday, a friend accidentally let slip. There is a party. Full family and co-worker situation and my ex was invited. For context, we broke up
Starting point is 00:35:51 two months ago and it ended badly. I've made it clear that I want no contact. Maya knows this, but thinks I should just get over it because he's a nice guy. No, Maya needs to get in the bed. I called her immediately.
Starting point is 00:36:07 She admitted that the party wasn't just for my birthday. It was also so my ex and I could talk things out. Oh, this is getting worse and worse. My sister said, you'll thank me later. I lost it. I told her she has no right to ambush me like that, especially after I'd said I don't want a party. She called me dramatic and ungrateful and said,
Starting point is 00:36:31 everyone had travelled and was excited. So on my actual birthday, I turned my phone off and I spent the day with my best friend. Lunch, a walk, honestly, a great day. When I turned my phone back on, it was chaos. Maya was furious. People were disappointed. And some said that I had embarrassed her. Now Maya says I ruined the party and I made it all about me on my own birthday.
Starting point is 00:36:58 she wants an apology for not showing up. So am I the a-hole and do I owe her an apology? No, you don't. And Maya needs to bloody check herself before she wrecks herself. What an idiot. Like, it's not about you, Maya. Great, you love doing big gestures and big surprise. That's great.
Starting point is 00:37:19 That's a lovely trait to have. But it's not about you and what you want to do. It's about what your sister wants. And she doesn't want that, especially not to catch up with her. The X is only one element. She explicitly told you she doesn't want it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:34 I hear you. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do what I want. I think she had every right not to go and to turn her phone off. I would have done the same. Is that how you would have dealt with it? No, I probably would have went and just sucked it up because I'm bloody people please. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:37:49 That's the problem, right? Claudia, how are you dealing with this? I'm not turning up. You're not turning up? There's no chance. Claudia wouldn't turn up. I know she would have fun without me. They don't need me.
Starting point is 00:37:58 They'll have fun. They've probably organised a whole party. They'll have fun. Yeah, who cares if there's free drinks? I don't care. Claudia's so insecure. She's like, probably have a better time if I'm not there. They don't want me there anyway.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I probably shouldn't go, so everyone has a better time. It's your birthday, buddy, and you're like, oh my God, do they all hate me? What if they don't like me? Do they hate me? Ella, how are you dealing with it? Oh, I just feel like it's awkward, but because the co-workers are also there, it's weird. You just have to suck it up.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Do you? No, no, you don't. I think this girl is not an asshole, but I would probably go and cry later. I think my whole thing, like, I'm such a people pleaser. I'd be like, oh, just go. It's whatever I want.
Starting point is 00:38:40 It'll be, like, to make everyone happy. I think I'm starting to lose a bit of that. Because, like, when I went home for Christmas holidays, there was a few different things where I, normally I would have went, but I was like, you know what? This is my holiday. I did, like, a lot of stuff that I still didn't want to do. But there were some things where I was like, no.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Yeah. I was like, I would want to stay home and I want to do this and hang out with these particular people and not a million people. It's boundaries. It is boundaries. It's about protecting your own sanity and doing what you want to do. And not letting your sister try and sit you back up with your ex. It's so weird. All the comments on the post are like, I'm saving this post for when you come back in a month to announce that your sister and your ex are together.
Starting point is 00:39:24 It is weird. It is weird. Why isn't the ex said yes to go into the post? party anyway if it was such a dramatic end up to the relationship. And why is the sister on the exercise? I hate the sister. Oh, what a ding-dong. She's the a-ho. Hey, Maya, you loser.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Play Z-Eams Bree and Clint. Time for Friday Oaky. Ladies and gentlemen, Brean Clint's Friday Oaky. First Friday Oki of 2026, it's back.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Over the summer, I went all the way to Las Vegas and I went to see Backstreet Boys live in the sphere. You sure bloody did, didn't you? Ever since then, I've been on a huge Backstreet Boys nostalgia wave. So I thought I would choose the song this week, and we would go for a Backstreet Boys classic. This is the biggest Backstreet Boys song,
Starting point is 00:40:22 according to their Spotify. How many streams? 1.2 billion more streams than the second biggest Backstreet Boys song. So it's the biggest by far. It's head and shoulders above the rest. So we've both been in the booth. if you've never heard this segment before. We pick a song.
Starting point is 00:40:37 You're lucky. Yeah. We go in with our professional audio engineer, Sam, and we do our best cover that we can do. He records it and he makes it sound as good as he can. Not the whole song. Oh, no, not the whole song. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:40:50 We wouldn't make you sit through that. No, no, no, just like a minute. Just like a verse and a chorus. That's it. I'll go first. Then you'll hear Breeze Friday Oki, and then you guys can pick the winner of Fridayokey this week. All right.
Starting point is 00:41:03 I'm so ready. Oh, that was a little preview. Don't start there. Start here. Okay, there we go. Okay, here comes my. Good luck, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:13 My backstreet boys. It's a big moment for me. Here we go. Good luck. You are my fire. The one desire. I say, I think that was pretty good. I bought the Backstreet Boys.
Starting point is 00:42:22 It was the first CD I ever bought was the Backstreet Boys. I bought it when I was 10 years old and I really did feel like a backstreet boy in the studio singing that just then. Would you be similar age then? No, they're a bit older than me. They're a little bit older age. Well, I was 10 when I bought the CD. Oh, true, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:42:39 And they were adult men. Nick Carter was only like 15 or 16. No. I'm pretty sure when that band started. He was the youngest though. Yeah, right. Okay. Anyway, that's mine.
Starting point is 00:42:52 You've got to compare it. Okay, you can't just go off. You've got to compare us to Breeze. That's how Fridayoke works. You hear mine, then you hear Breeze, and then you choose the winner. I don't think mine's going to be, mine is going to be the back streets, I think. This is rough for me because I'm trying to imitate five really good male singers.
Starting point is 00:43:13 And my voice can't go that low, but I did my best. I had some fun. Give yourself a bit of credit. Come on. Here it comes. It should be. Yeah, it'll be fine, guys. It'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Here's Breeze. The one Desire Went out of way But we Pretty happy with that Yeah nice I felt like my tones were quite solitary
Starting point is 00:44:33 I love the idea of you Trying to impersonate five men That's such a funny image I was like okay Here we go, here's Brian I was like alright Here comes Nick Here's Kev
Starting point is 00:44:48 Here's Kev Look it doesn't matter what we think about how we did. It matters what you think about how we did.

Starting point is 00:55:05 You'll know this one. Oh. No. No. Come on, let's go. What's this? Hang on. Wait, wait for it.
Starting point is 00:55:16 I don't make them like this anymore, I'll tell you. One, two, three, oh. Oh, who else I know this? This is what ZEM sounded like on a Friday night in 2006. Come on. About 2006 till 2014. God.
Starting point is 00:55:39 This takes me back to two. 2006, breathing in secondhand smoke at the clubs. Weren't you, like, 15? Oh, yeah, it wasn't it? Get a girl. Next on the show, Bree wants to talk love letters. Cute or icky? Yeah, what's your vibe?
Starting point is 00:56:01 Are we loving it or hate you? If someone wrote you a love letter. Yeah. In 2026. Would you be into it? Can we do a snap hole in the text machine, 9669696? Yes or no? to the love letters in 2026.

Starting point is 00:56:41 I feel like any love letter that was written in the war period. Amazing. Well, that's what someone is, because we asked for a snap hole on love letters, cute or ick.

Starting point is 01:02:26 There's a company based in California who has plans to build the first permanent hotel on the moon. So wait, hear me out. I know it sounds far-fetched, but... Literally.

Starting point is 01:03:41 That's what it is, isn't it? A place where customers can come and stay. That would be the idea as time would go on, that people can go and stay on the moon.
