She's 40 and she has a sausage dog puppy that keeps eating poisonous things. Welcome to the show, Sammy!

What are we talking, Sammy? What's the worst thing the sausage dog has eaten? Oh the worst one was the plug off my air mattress that had to be surgically removed. Hey! Hey! That's not poisonous though, that's just not good. Oh she does eat, she eats those too. Yeah right. What's your limit? Like how much are you willing to spend on the dog before you go? You know what, it's a lost cause.

They're also 40 and he has an artificial belly button. Welcome to the show Brad. G'day guys, how are ya? An artificial belly button welcome to the show Brad's

An artificial belly button tell me more My appendix let go of me a few years ago Yeah, when they went in to take it out they also somehow removed my entire belly button in the process So I had to had to go back and have another surgery with spin graft to create a fake one. Wow why do you need an artificial belly button? Is it just for aesthetics so your tummy doesn't look weird? Yeah purely aesthetic it just looked really odd and I had a really bad jagged scar in place of it so they decided to fix it for me. You were too smooth you were like a kendal down there so they had to put some definition back in. We needed some landmarks so we knew where the bottom of your stomach was. Yeah. Yeah well that could have happened to your

sausage dog as well, Sammy, with those operations. It could, she's got a couple of guys now. Yeah yeah, alright. Good, Sammy your buzzer is Lady, Brad yours is Trady and the first person to give me three correct answers is going to win Trady vs Lady. Good luck. First question. Where does the sweet treat bucklava come from? Lady. Brad. Greece. Greece. We'll take Greece. According to Google, it could be Greece,

it could be Turkey or it could be anywhere in the Middle East. So I would have accepted all three of those. Question number two. Lorde's fourth album is out today. Lady. Sammy. Virgin. Not the question. Unfortunately I'll finish the question Brad and then you

will have time to answer it. The question was what's Lorde's real name? Is it Erin, Angela or Ella? It's Ella. It is Ella, well done you're out to a two-point lead.

They're available in all supermarkets nationwide. ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Brie's off, she's back on Monday. Nick Cannon. Do we all know who Nick Cannon is? He's a weird dude, but do you know who he is? I only know him as Mariah Carey's ex. He's Mariah Carey's ex.

He used to be the host of America's Got Talent. He's a pretty famous American TV presenter. Did he start on Nickelodeon? Or am I making that up? I think he may have. In the space of 10 years, Nick Cannon had 12 children with six different women. He's only 44. Yeah.

That's a lot of kids. That's a lot of kids. He had 12 children between the age of 30 and 40, his childbearing years. And he rarely made the most. The women that he had babies with included, like we said, Mariah Carey. He also had a baby with one of the agents on Selling Sunset.

If you watch that Netflix show Selling Sunset, you'll hear them talk about Nick Cannon a bit. Anyway, the reason we're talking about him is he's on a new episode of the Really Good podcast with Bobbie Althoff. She is so good. If you haven't seen her stuff before, you probably have in like memes and stuff. She's the one who interviewed Drake in bed She interviewed the guy from Shark Tank and she was like, can you give me some money?

Fair enough. Mark Cuban. That's his name she's got this really weird style where she just is so deadpan and Unintimidating that she gets people to say really weird things and in this interview with Nick Cannon she has revealed that he doesn't know all the names of his children or at least he can't recall all 12 names off the top of his head in the moment which you might go 12 12 names is hard man that you're holding Nick Cannon to an unrealistic standard but they're his children, they're his children. Like I could name 12 of my

family members if I had to. Yeah when you put it like that. So I feel like you should be able to name your 12 children. If he can't name the 12 children can he name the six mums? True. You know where does it stop? Anyway have a listen to it this is Nick Cannon attempting to recall all 12 of his children's names on the Bobby Althoff podcast. What are their names? This is where I usually get in trouble. Why because you don't know all of them? I know all of them but like all right here we go I'll lay one out for you. There's Rock, Roll, Golden, Powerful, Rise, Onyx, Legendary, Zion, Zillion, Zen, and... See this is where I... Eww.

How many? You're missing two. I'm missing two. That's so bad. That's terrible. He forgot Beautiful. Oh. And he also forgot Halo.

How could he forget those? How could he forget that? Two. Pffft. That's so bad. Wow, wow, that's terrible. He forgot Beautiful. Oh. And he also forgot Halo. How could he forget those? How could he forget those? Was that with Beyonce, Halo? He wishes, he wishes. Just one more time, the names of those children were,

he said Rock, I believe that's Moroccan. He said Roe, that's Monroe. Golden, powerful, rise, onyx, legendary, Zion, zillion, zen, halo, and beautiful. Of those 12 names, I believe two of them are actual names. So maybe that's the reason he couldn't recall them. We wanted to talk this afternoon about the times you've forgotten something that you really shouldn't have forgotten.

You know? Which happens a lot. It does happen a lot. I forget names of people that I've met quite often, but they're not my children. You so do. They're not my partners or significant others. No.

You said you've forgotten something important, Claudia. Yeah, I once forgot my Nana's birthday, and I only realised when we were sitting down to have her birthday dinner. Like I was there at the event and I thought it was just like I'd been invited over to have dinner with my family. You didn't know. You thought your Nana wanted to have dinner with you?

Well, Dad organised it and he's like, come over for dinner. And I was like, perfect. And it was only like, I'd been there for three hours. Stop me when you realised. Haaaaaapiii birthday. It's her birthday? Yeah, I'd been there for three hours. Stop me when you realised. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It's her birthday? Yeah, right there. That's the spot. So you just ignored all the balloons.

There was like... All the cake. There was a... I don't know. I don't know. It just didn't click until I'd been there for three hours. And I was like, Dad, is it her birthday today? We want to know on 0800.ZM the important thing that you forgot. Name, date, person, event, whatever it was if it was of significance and you completely forgot about it we would love to hear about

it. Forgetting when it's Mufti Day and you're wrong. That is the literal worst I remember that feeling so vividly. I hated it. Yeah yeah I remember my dad bringing me down a bag of emergency clothes and even then I was like dad these aren't even the clothes I wanted to wear for my birthday. It's not my cool mumbo t-shirt dad. And he's like well do you want to wear a uniform? I was like no I don't want to wear my stupid uniform. That is brain clant. We want to know what is the thing that you forgot that you really shouldn't have forgot. One more text someone said if I can remember 120 names

of the children that I teach then if I can remember 120 names of the children that I teach then he can remember the 12 names of his children and that does seem kind of fair. Let's go to Crystal, I know at $100 at MHi Crystal. Hello can you turn that radio down for us and then tell us what's the important thing that you forgot that you shouldn't have forgotten? Um, so I forgot my kid's first birthday. Oh. At least it's the first one. They wouldn't have known. Yeah, it was just because it was the first one and I kind of forgot but everyone else had remembered and bought cakes so it's alright. Oh. I was going to say why is the pressure on you to remember it? Why can't some other people remember it?

But they did and you forgot. Yeah. pressure on you to remember it why can't some other people remember it but they did and you forgot yeah did you just pretend that you didn't forget and you were like yay we were waiting for you guys how old is your child now I have twins and they're two and a half two and a half do you think you'll tell that twins so you forgot two birthdays on the same day? Yeah. I feel like you're excused. Twins is hard, man.

You must have had some total brain fry. You must still be going through it with two and a half year old twins. Yeah. Yeah, no, if I have the ability, I absolve you of that, Crystal. That's fine. You're forgiven.

Thank you. Brilliant, okay, great. Let's go to Anonymous on 0800. Is that him? Hi, Anonymous. Hi, is this me? Yeah, that's fine. You're forgiven. Thank you. Brilliant. Okay, great. Let's go to Anonymous on 0800. Is that him? Hi, Anonymous. Hi, it's me. Yeah, that's you. What did you forget that you shouldn't have forgotten? We were in a meeting.

Yeah. And I was in here seeing my client, our new employee, and I forgot her name. Wait, you forgot the client or your own employee's name? My own employee's name. You know, I relate to this anonymous, and I don't know if this is what it was for you, but when I get nervous, the names go. That's when I forget. It was very much that. It was very much that. I was flustered and I was like, oh, this is,

ah, and she just introduced herself. And I was like, yes, there you go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I reckon I could forget my best friend's name and I was like, yeah, there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon I could forget my best friend's name if I was under pressure to make a good impression. You know, like if I feel like I knew it had to go well, or if I feel like there was a chance I could forget the name, I'm definitely going to forget the name. Yeah, yeah, it was really embarrassing. At least you're the boss, you know, at least they were your employee and not the other way around otherwise someone would be getting fired. We asked what's the important thing that you forgot? Someone said my husband and I

both forgot our wedding anniversary this year. That does happen, that happens more and more as you get older, but they said we got to the evening and then we realized we didn't think we would be forgetting only three years in. But the third anniversary is a nothing anniversary. The first anniversary is big because you're like oh my god we made it to a year. And then two, three, four, five is semi-significant I guess. Best case scenario that you both forget too and not just one of you. Totally, totally.

Or best case scenario that one of you forgets each year because then you cut down because you both once you're buying each other gifts and you're married it's all your own money so you know it's a good way to do it. You should do a year about. Someone said I forgot my oh that we just talked to that person someone said I forgot my sister's birthday and I nearly had my wedding on her birthday. I've learned from Brie that the way girls work that would have been a really bad idea. That would be an issue. Yeah. Whereas I wouldn't care if my brother had his wedding on my birthday. Yeah, no. I wouldn't care. But it is serious. It's like why are you stealing my day?

Why are you stealing my day? We pushed it out a week and then realized that it was my best friend's birthday the day before the wedding. He was one of my groomsmen. LOL. So you get a little cake at the ceremony? My wedding was the day after my birthday. Oh! Which is great because... Did you double celebrate or combine?

Well, yeah, everyone was kind of there so we had some drinks the night before the wedding But my logic was I'll never forget my wedding anniversary because the day after my birthday It doesn't work. It doesn't work because you go. Oh my birthday's coming up Oh my gosh, cool. My birthday's coming up and then the next day is your wedding anniversary Someone said my dad can't remember how to spell my name and I'm 33. I was gonna say, that's crazy, cause he gave you that name, but he probably didn't.

I need to know the name now. Like, is her name Anna? Oh yeah, can you text us back what your name is and how you spell it? Someone said, I lived rurally and I was catching a bus to school. And I remember getting out of the car and as the bus pulled up, realising that I hadn't put knickers on, so I had to travel on the bus to school with no undies on.

And I managed to text my mum, who phoned ahead to the school so they could organise some undies out of the lost property for me. Awwww. You'd rather go commando wouldn't you? They said oh my god how traumatising. There was always one kid at primary school eh, got me undies. The lost property undies eh, the forbidden undies.

ZN's Brian Clint. Time for the Tea with Dean McCarthy. The Tea live from LA with Dean McCarthy. This is big for Kim K. She keeps finding I guess new goals to tick off. Dean she's going to be a proper bonafide movie star now. She's a billionaire, a millionaire, an international superstar and now an actress on the big screen. She's going to star in her first major movie. She's going to star in a ready. Are you sitting down? The Bratz movie. Now this is following on from the Barbie movie. The Barbie movie made over $1 billion globally and Bratz and Clint,

you can probably speak more to this. Very popular, right? How popular are we talking here? Why are you saying me, Dean? Do I look like a Bratz guy to you? Children? Yeah, I'm just pulling your leg. They're not quite at Bratz age yet, but I understand the pull, I understand the allure. Bratz is kind of, I don't know, maybe you can chime in Claudia. Is Bratz cooler than Barbie? Is that how it works? Or?

I gotta be honest, I didn't know that Bratz were like still relevant. Yeah right. Like for me as a teenager I was like these are so cool but I haven't seen anything Bratz in the last probably 15 years. I know them because the TV ads were on every ad break on select live so I do remember them and I feel like Kim Kardashian is quite a good choice for this movie Dane. She's a good choice for this movie and Dean. She's a good choice for this movie and here's the thing if you're wondering Kim K, Kim K puts bums in seats. Yeah. Right, she's a star, you've got tickets sold, it's sold and she's got the biggest social media following in the world so she's gonna promote it like there's no tomorrow. It's a slam dunk. And to

come up from a negative point of view even people who don't like her will see the movie so they can go, oh my god, I knew she couldn't act. She's awful. Totally. You know? And she still gets paid either way. So it's kind of genius. That's the tea with Dean McCarthy. We wanted to talk about, we've kind of coined this lazy hacks this afternoon because Claudia you were talking about a couple of shortcuts that you've attempted to take recently that have just backfired on you.

I think this is just who I am as a person. I'm just lazy and so I try to find ways around it and then it just screws me over a little bit. Prime example? Yeah, last night, the major one, doing dishes. I was doing the dishes walk of shame from my room with all the cups that I had on my side table. In your flat? In my flat, and I was like, I'm just gonna put them straight in the dishwasher, get it

done, easy peasy. But the dishwasher was full and clean. So you empty the dishwasher. Yeah, you'd think so. Thank you, Ella. You empty it. I don't want to empty it, because someone else popped it and didn't do it, so I don't want to be left with that responsibility.

But then they've kicked the can down the road, and you're just going to kick the can down the road. And then there's clean dishes just sitting there for a week. Yep. I didn't want to do it. Nah that's not how democracy survives Claudia. I just think whoever opens it. Yes. Whoever opens it and pops it.

Yes. Empties it. And it was already popped so it's not my responsibility. My dishwasher, maybe you should get this. My dishwasher's self-popping. What does pop mean, I'm lost. So when it finishes the cycle, the dishwasher will open its own door so that the steam can get out. It's freaking genius.

It opens itself, the steam can get out, and then the dish is dry. Yeah. Your kitchen's epic. I've stayed at your house once. Fantastic. I wasn't there by the way guys. Okay so you didn't do the dishes, you didn't empty the dishwasher, instead you? My solution was just to hand wash all of my dishes. Instead of spending three minutes

emptying the dishwasher, I spent about ten hand washing everything and then cooking dinner and then hand washing all of that as well. Pathetic. But I think this is just who I am because at my old flat as we were moving out we had to do the exit clean and we realized the lawn was long so instead of booking a lawn guy to come and fix it. Which is like 50 bucks. Which is 50 bucks and one phone call and then you don't have to do anything else. Yeah. Instead I was like you know what a better solution is? I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna do the edges myself

with the kitchen scissors. And I spent probably an hour chopping the grass with kitchen scissors. It's in you. It's in me. It's in you. It's who I am. You're a lazy hacker.

It's the core pillar of my being. You were quite literally lazy hacking your own lawn with kitchen scissors. But that just takes so much more energy. It took so long and it looked terrible. Of course it would. I know people who do this, I've got friends who do this, I've got a friend who needed renovations done at his house and he was like I can't be bothered paying someone. It's just a wall, I'll just take it out myself. He took the wall out himself and the ceiling of his house began to sag. Was it load-bearing? He structurally altered the fundamental strength

of his own building, because he didn't want to pay a tradie. That would be so much more money and so much more time. All of these things are. Yeah, I do it too though. I'm judging. I'm not trying to be high and mighty. I think I am the opposite of you though.

I think it's in me that thing where they say if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right. So I won't empty half a dishwasher, I'll empty a whole dishwasher. I won't just clean the bit of the shower that looks mouldy. I'll spend, I know, I'll waste my whole morning deep cleaning the whole shower. See the world needs people like you. To live with people like you. To live with people like me, exactly right. We wanna know your lazy hack that backfired this afternoon.

You thought by doing this thing this way, you were hacking the system, you were applying a cheat code and you were gonna get something faster, cheaper or better, but actually it ended up backfiring on you and it took you longer, more money, worse. Does that make sense? Lazy hacks that backfired. The ZM Podcast Network. Right now though we're talking about lazy hacks that backfire on you. You're like, oh I can't be bothered

doing this properly. Maybe if I do it this way I'll save myself some time and energy. Claudia did a whole meal's worth of dishes by hand just to avoid unpacking the flat dishwasher. Worth it. They would have watched you cook. There was no one around. If they were watching me I would have just done the dishwasher. I do a lot of things based out of shame. Yeah yeah, shame motivates you.

I'll clean my room if someone's going to see it but otherwise I won't. So we want to know what's the lazy hack that backfired on you. This person wants to be anonymous. Hi anonymous. Hello. Your husband has just done one of these anonymous. Well in his defense because of the weather he's been waiting for an opportune moment to go out onto the farm because it's been so wet. So he's come out to the farm to feed the cows and he overloaded the tractor with the hay bales and went into the paddock and when he got into the paddock one fell off and rolled down the other end of the paddock. So rather than making one making two small trips he decided to make one big trip which is now going to be one really big trip. Yeah yeah yeah but you know you just gotta try your luck with these times when it's a bit wet.

Sounds sounds a bit Clarkson's farm to me, Anonymous. Have you watched Clarkson's farm with all the balls-ups that he does on the farm? Well, you are obsessed and I currently have a friend in the UK who's bought me a whole lot of merch back because it's so expensive to send that stuff back on shipping. It's such a great show, it's such a great show. You don't have a Lamborghini tractor, do you? No, we don't got Matthew Ferguson, but I reckon Jeremy Clarkson should be knighted for what he's doing for farmers. It is bloody good, hey. It's really, it's really, I've never, I've never lived or worked on a farm. That show's totally opened my eyes to what you guys do on a daily basis. yeah. Hey good luck with the runaway hay bales and have a good weekend.

All good. We're talking about lazy hacks that backfired on you. Chantelle's here. Hi Chantelle. Hi Clay. You tried to pull off a lazy hack at your retail job. I did yeah it didn't go too well. We were having a quiet afternoon and my manager came up to me and said oh do you want to give the floor a quick vacuum? And I went off to look for the vacuum cleaner. I don't know if I couldn't find it or couldn't find the charger for it or whatever it wasn't where it should have been. And so rather than just going to another department and asking for theirs, I thought it would be quicker and easier to just get down on my hands and knees

and pick up any visible fluff that I could see and it was not quicker or easier and I realise now how disgusting that was. In a retail store where hundreds of people's dirty shoes have been walking all day. Eww. You hand-vacuumed the shop. I hand-vacuumed, yes. Definitely not a good hat. I recommend. I talked to Claudia about this earlier and I know it's true for her and this bit is true for me too. Part of it is laziness but part of it is not wanting to do the thing just because someone else told you that you had to do it. Does that resonate with you Chantelle?

Yeah and probably more so that I didn't want to have to go around to other people and ask them to borrow the vacuum cleaner. That's really putting me off more than anything. That's part of it too. Yeah, yeah. It's like answering the phone, right, for some people. They'd rather sit through an entire voice message than just talk to the person and hear what they had to say. Yeah, but I mean, I lost all my dignity as well, like being on the hands and knees. And it was on security footage as well. Hey hey hey it takes a long time but dignity grows back okay Chantelle you'll be okay. I'll take that on. We're asking about your lazy hacks and this is the last one which is definitely PG-13 but we'll keep it clean they said I was too lazy to put my battery-operated

boyfriend if you know what I mean back in the drawer and just went to sleep I stepped on it the next morning tore my ACL and my MCL and I was on ACC for nine months my god does that count as a indoor gardening toy injury it does doesn't it you'd have to write it on the ACC you would have to they want so much detail on the ACC form. No! And there will be details, there will be a category of... ...adult toys injuries at ACC.

But when I... What? What are you about to say? Oh my gosh! No, no, I'm not going to say anything weird. You're not our personal anecdote. If they said, because they release the stats every year and they said there were X amount of injuries caused by adult toys, I would have thought, damn girl, because they release the stats every year and they said there were X amount of injuries caused by adult toys,

I would have thought damn girl, someone was a bit ambitious, took on one they couldn't handle. I didn't think about someone standing on it and tearing their ligaments in their knee. Look, I would just say Lego. Leave it at that. Lego? Like, like I just stepped on Lego. Oh, stepped on Lego. I thought you were doing Chris Brown speak and you were like, Lego. Nah. I'd say, hey ACC, Lego.

What? Lego to ACC. What's up? They just replied, they said, don't worry, I lied to ACC. Oh, did you? What did you say? Yeah.

Say Lego, Lego. Honey, I stood on my adult toy. I need Lego to the emergency room. It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Time for the One Second Song Challenge. The game we usually, Bri and I will go head to head guessing songs as quickly as possible but she's off this week so Ella's gonna step into the breach. Have you ever played this game before?

Because F1 the movie came out this week and we're giving away a thousand dollars very shortly in regards to that movie. The theme today... Songs About Cars. It's Songs About Cars.

Yes! But it was my idea, okay? You didn't tell me to do that But it was my idea, okay? You didn't tell me to do that, it was my idea. Okay so, Ella and Clint are going first. First team to three points takes home the win. Are you ready? Lego.

Here's your first one. Clint. Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. It is! I had that song in my brain, did you? Not even Luke Combs' Fast Car. Oh mate! I've had that song in my brain, did you? Not even Luke Combs, Fasca. Oh, May. Have to respect the original.

I'm feeling this way around my shoulder and I, I, I, have a feeling that I belong, I, I, I. Where's that on Friday, okay? Yeah, that's pretty good. Okay, that is one point for Team Clint, so now we're going on to Laura and Mae. Buzz in with your name if you know it. Here's your song.

If I may, may, you've won $50 cash thanks to Neon. We are the one second champions. Can I? Yay! Good job, guys. Laura? Thank you. Yeah.

Bree and Clint do this all the time. We're going to get you KFC too. Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! We have to cause of

cause of what Ella did. Um, well done everybody. Next! It's ZM's Brinklin podcast. I saw this clip today which is very relatable, it's to do with the Dochi track which is also the Kimbra and Gotye track.

Someone trying to sing along to it. It must happen so many times when you hear it start. So this afternoon I've come up with a new game where I'm going to start the song from the start and you guys need to come in with the lyrics of the version that you think it is. Okay, I'll stick my instincts. You got the timing right? You can nail this. Okay, the girls can't see which version I'm playing and if you get it right, well done, you win. If you get it wrong, embarrassing. Claudia you're up first. Good luck. It could be Aether. Now and then. I was flipping back and forth that whole time. It's hard eh? It's hard.

Okay Ella are you ready to give it a go? Heck yeah. Okay, let's see if you can nail it. Your timing was great. Thank you. Your timing was good, you were right on it. Can you give me the green light? No, you'll get it.

You're going to have to... Yeah, feel it out. It's the end of this one. You were right on it. Can you give me the green line? No, you'll get it. You're gonna have to do the lip. Yeah, feel it out. It's the end of this one. Now and then I think of when we were together. Stitch up.

Stitch up. Do me. See if I can get it. I can't, see? Okay. See if I can get it. I can't see. Let's see if I can get it. So much pressure. There's so much pressure on this. Anxiety! Yeah! I thought I'd throw you if I used the same one. It's sheer luck.

They're exactly the same. It's pure luck. Do you want one more try Ella? Okay. Okay, you can have one more try. Thanks. Okay, here it comes. What's up?

You're listening to Godi. I'm going for him again. Ha ha ha. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. She thinks I've double crossed her, eh? Oh, yes. No one's asking me. Keep on trying me.

Wrong. Cause I had, cause I had double crossed her. You double crossed her? Yeah. Grrr. I hate losing. They sound exactly the same. Play Zed Eames' Bree and Clint. Ladies and gentlemen, Bree and Clint's Friday Oki.

Welcome to Friday Oki. We do this every Friday. Bree and I take on a cover challenge. We spend time getting it produced correctly. But Bri's not here this week. She's had a week off, and in her absence, our producer, Ella, has stepped in to take her place. I'm nervous.

She's just walked into the studio, which must be a wonderfully cool, I reckon, 20 air-conditioned degrees, and she goes, is it hot in here? I feel like it's quite hot in here. I need to take off my cool jacket. Oh me, I'm scared. Like Sam, the producer made me do Harmony.

Yes. Oh. I think you can fall back a little bit on the fact that you can hold a tune. Yes, but like, I don't know, when it's all produced and everything. Well this is the thing, you haven't heard how yours turned out yet

and neither have I. This week your challenge as the listener is to pick the winner. Is it going to be me, Clint, or is it going to be our producer Ella who's filling in for Brie when we take on the very easy to sing Sabrina Carpenter, Man Childs. Man Childs Why you always come running on me It's up there. How did you go?

Did you go down a key? No. You went up? I went up to where it should be. Bre and I have a rule that you have to try. And to try you have to try and get as close to the original as possible. I feel. Well hats off to you because that's high.

It's very flat if I go down and just be man child. You'd have nailed that. That's pretty good. I should have done that. That's boring. The rules dictate the person who chose the song goes first. And who chose the song, Ella? You.

I did not choose the song. The song was chosen by you. Oh mate. So you have the honour of going first. Don't look at me when this comes out. Don't look at me. Give her a chance everybody. It's her first ever Friday-oke and she is very nervous but here it comes. Ella's first and then mine. This is her take on Sabrina Carpenter's Man Childs. Good luck. Oh no! Oh no! You said your phone was broken, just forgot to charge it Whole outfit you're wearing, God I hope it's ironic

Do you just say you finished it and no, we started So just so familiar baby, what do you call it? Stupid! Or is it slow? Maybe it's useless But there's a cue to work for it, I know Ben Chime Why you always come running at me?

But life Why you always come running to me? My life Won't you let an innocent woman be? Never hurt a self-care Have your brain just say it's fair? Make sure Why you always come running Torunnin', takin' all the love from me No, no! Not as easy as it looks, eh?

No, that's bad! Oh, that's horrible! It's a weird thing that hap- I think you did well, by the way. No! I think there's a weird thing that happens when you actually do it and you go, oh, oh, this is what these singers actually do. This is the skill that these singers actually have. I agree, because it's different when you're in the producers' booth

and Claudia and I are just singing along going, we're good singers. Yeah. And then you're in the booth and there's layers to it. And that you don't have the actual artist behind you. No, I didn't like that at all. I'm sorry, everyone. Someone said you forgot to update the software on your auto-tune Hey you could still win you could still win you just have to beat me Okay, good luck and here comes a grown man

Who's been through puberty and everything I've had the voice changing but My phone was broken just for God to charge it Whole outfit you're wearing, God I hope it's ironic Did you just say we're finished? Didn't know we started It's all just so familiar, baby what are you calling? Stupid! Or is it... Slow! Maybe it's... Useless!

But there's a cuter word for it. I know! Make your life Why you always come running on me My life Won't you let an innocent woman be Never hurt or self-care Wow. That's the best I could do. Making all my loving from me Wow He he he he he That's the best I could do Did you have to squeeze your balls to get that high? Uh, I could only manage two or three takes of the chorus

and then my voice just disappeared altogether Fair enough, that was actually fantastic Someone texted and said, well Clint's is definitely louder Yeah but we're not asking you to vote on who was louder we're asking you to vote on who was louder we're asking you to vote on who was better. So the phone lines are about to go open are you ready for feedback? Yeah but let's be kind. It's Ella's very first week doing Fridayoke ever. Yeah. She's filling in for Bri this week so if you're willing to cast a vote and pick the

winner either Ella or me we would love you to call now on 0800 dials at M with your feedback. Kind feedback. Constructive criticism. Amen man it's hard being in the hot seat. A compliment sandwich. Oh I want Brie back. That ends Brie and Clint podcast. Brie's away this week she's back on Monday. Ella our producer has very bravely offered to step in and do Fridayoke this week. It has been a dream of mine to do this, but I'm having a lot of regret. Is it still a dream?

No, it's gone, long gone, mate. I'm actually taking a week off in a couple of weeks time, and there has been suggestion that Claudia jumps in and does one. She's on the phone. I wonder if she actually wants to do it after hearing what it's like. Yeah. Your reaction, I mean.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's hard, man. If you missed it, we did Man Child by Sabrina Carpenter. Ella sounded like this. Oh no. Man Child Why you always come running to me Oh, so flat. So flat.

You're being too hard on yourself. Mine sounded like this. Make your heart Screw you. Why you always come running at me? I was hoping that this would be too high for you and you'd voice crack, but you really sound all good. Yeah, but it doesn't mean it sounded good, you know it doesn't mean it sounded

listenable. Yeah we both sound like cats to be honest. We have five people standing by to pick the winner of Fridayoke this week and Addy is going to go first. Hi Addy. Hi. You here to build Ella up to restore her confidence? Yes. Yeah? Great. What did you think? I think her pitch was better. You think Ella's pitch was better? I'll take it. Yep. Nice. Thanks, Adi.

She's just nervous, Sharon, that's it.

I think there was going to be more autotune and there wasn't as much as I wanted. We don't use... That's a common misnomer. We don't use autotune. I wish there was, just a bit. No, you did really well. Have more confidence in yourself. Who are you going to vote for, Shaz? Um, Ella. Ella, she's done well. Thank you. Have more confidence in yourself.

See I didn't vote for it but I'm actually glad we played it. That's a banger. It's a banger with a capital B. And if you were there you know. These are my confessions.

I did this song in karaoke in Fiji once. And it was one of the most embarrassing things I have ever done. It's one of those songs where you're like I can sing until you're out there alone and you're like oh no. I didn't choose to, my friend Sharon made me do it she's like you love Asha you should do it. Here's the microphone. Oh my god am I doing it again? It's pretty good! That Ames, Bri and Clint podcast. You may have seen on social media people doing the one note challenge

What are you laughing at? Sorry, we've got the giggles. Oh. I was doing rude giggles. We're being silly. I was doing rude things. Be professional.

I was like, that's technically one note. That's a long note. That's one note. Yeah. Venga Boys. Venga Boys, the Venga bus is coming. No. Tune. OK, this one's short. If you don't get the next one. This one's less than a second. See, people argue over this one.

Oh, really? People argue over this one. So maybe this can only be one song. No, people argue that that is. Oh really? People argue over this one. So maybe this can only be one song? No, people argue that that is either. Wait, wait, wait, do it again. I don't know. I know which one it is. But when people play it on a piano, remember they do that thing where they go,

this song can raise a generation, they play that one key. Because it's the same key. It's My Chemical Romance, The Black Parade, but it's also Kanye West's Runaway. Oh you're so right! Yeah crazy A. You don't know this? Kind of. Hang on. I'll teach you. You need to know the song if you're gonna hang out with us. When I was a young boy, my father. Wow, she doesn't know my chemical romance. That's what we're doing tonight, Ella. Sorry.

Okay, 8. It's not Bad Habits. Bad Habits. It's not Bad Habits. Is it not? Yes it is. It's Shivers. Is it?

Oh yeah, it is Shivers. Wait, no it's... Oh yeah, it is Shivers. But yeah, you got the right one. Sorry, I hit that one. Same song, same song. Okay, two more. Oh yeah. But yeah, you got the right one.

Sorry, I had that one. Same song, same song. Okay, two more. Ah, yep. Do it again. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what it's called. It's Jamelia Superstar.

Yep. Okay, okay, this is the last one on the easy's. Do it again. Yeah. Yeah. The Sizzle Sisters. I don't know what happens in the cold. Not the main Sizzle Sisters though. Is it not? Isn't it?

Is this alternate Sizzle Sisters? You know what I found out about the Scissor Sisters today? They are neither women nor related. Yeah. Yeah. Are they? No. No.

No. Oh, that was fun. There's five pro level ones. Should we just do one? Do one, do the first one. The first one? Yeah. Okay, this is from the hard one, do the first one. The first one? Yeah. Okay, this is from the hard section

of the one note challenge. Oh! Oh. This is expert level. I got it. Is it Imagine Dragons? No. No. No, it's not.

That's what I thought originally. What is it? But I think it's Nile Horan. It's Nile Horan. Oh, Slow Hands. Yeah. Now that is expert level. I like that. Oh, let's bring this back again.

That was my expert mode next week. Someone's changed their tune. Maybe I'm good at it. Next month, one of the most iconic New Zealand television shows of all time, Outrageous Fortune, turns 20 years old. And to celebrate, they're putting the whole show up on YouTube for free. And to celebrate that, we've got Manta, aka Tammy Davis on the phone with us. Kia ora bro.

Kia ora brother Clinty, how are you man? Good mate, does it feel like 20 years since you were playing Manta on Outrageous Fortune? Bro, it doesn't feel like that long at all. It feels like five years, 10 years ago because 20 years ago would have been episode one and then we filmed for like five, six years. So basically we stopped filming like 14 years ago.

So yeah, 14 years is a long time. Yeah. It has stood the test of time that show. It is still a true like cultural touch point, I feel. And if you've done it from start to finish, you will have like a deep investment and relationship with all of the characters. They all had such fantastic backstories and characteristics but what do you think it was was it that what is the thing that made Kiwis connect with Outrageous Fortune so much because we've made

plenty of TV shows but not all of them stand up like this one does well I think I think what it was bro was everyone in New Zealand could see themselves in one or two or you know in or any any other of the characters that they saw up there. And I think for us as artists and as actors and stuff, you want to be able to hold a mirror up to your audience. And if they see themselves, then that's how people will connect to them. Everyone knew Manta as a friend or had a mate or someone who knew that person, Van and Jethro. We all knew the characters, right down to Robin Malcolm's character as the mum. And yeah, but it was just one of those series

that everyone in New Zealand went, I know who these people are, and they're close to me. And I've had them in my house before. Bloody that guy comes over home, he's made of my dad or something like that. Yeah, that's my brother's friend, he pinched my car once. Yeah, yeah. Is that. Yeah that's my brother's friend he pinched my car once. Is it true? My brother's friend he's trying to hoe into my sister. Exactly right. I heard this once and I never did any research about it but is it true that the scripting of Outrageous Fortune parallels Shakespeare and Shakespearean themes? Oh I'm not sure I'm not 100% sure about that one that was I mean we

would all sit around and discuss what we wanted to do in the following seasons and stuff like that but... Oh you had input into that? Oh yeah 100% like we would all sit down at the end of a series and go hey look if it goes again are there any storylines that you'd like to do so when Munta built the old Alliant and stuff that was one of my ideas I said oh what about about a cast story you know because everyone out west has like a you know a Ford or a Holden or an old Chrysler Hemi story so yeah I mean you get to influence those ones. We're talking to Tammy Davis on the 20 year anniversary of Outrageous Fortune they're just about to put it up on YouTube for free for a whole new generation to enjoy Are you still in touch with much of the cast from outrageous fortune Tammy?

Well, I still play touch with Dave Farnham most every other weekend. Yeah, he played for Lani Um, I see Antonio Preble when those guys around every now and then I mean and star Everyone has gone on to you know massive things So, of course, you know, he's on the boys Boys at the moment which is a massive TV show over in the States trying to bro I don't even I don't even get a scene when I message him now he doesn't even see it I'm like oh shop the bro's like you know he knows I'm here yeah he's on that he's on that new phone number kind of fame. Oh bro, he's like, he's...

But so is Robin Malcolm, you know, she's just been nominated for a BAFTA. She is one of the greatest actors New Zealand has ever produced. Oh bro, she's doing so well. I just finished watching a new show that she's in called The Survivors. Yes. You know, they've just filmed over in Aussie and she is amazing. Everyone's gone on to do other things. This is the spectacular thing.

Kirk Torrance is still acting. Dave Farny went on to do El Flegmein's Death with Taika over in the States and then of course here. He's gone on to make films over in England. What's his name? Wolf went over. He was hosting the Australian version of Survivors. I mean Antonio Preble's gone on to make other things. Everyone's gone on to do, to

make other work and to be successful in their own right. I mean I do radio now so probably I'm the one you know that really kind of... Don't undersell yourself, you did Shoreland Street as well. Don't sell yourself short bro. Look, if you have never watched the show and you're looking for a new show, I think it's a great one to go and check out. When it goes up on YouTube, you'll be able to stream... Is it five seasons of Outrageous Fortune you guys did? Yeah, I think we did six seasons. It was 100, 109 one hours, which is a real kind of tribute to the fact that we as actors

were able to pull it off, but the fact that the audience, New Zealanders, really fell in love with that show and I think for those who watched it when they re-watch it again it'll be quite nostalgic to everybody. Yeah, it's a total time capsule. Yeah, it's brilliant. 100% yeah. Last question for you Tammy Davis, how many times a week do you still get called munter? Oh bro, still all the time, all the time. People still like remember that show. It was the one show that I couldn't go anywhere because still get called Manta. school once and this some 10 year old kid was like I've been watching you on TV last night. You should not be watching that! There you go everybody can watch it now. I should get it up on YouTube kids. It was a real honour to be a part of something you know I mean in New Zealand

it's very seldom that you get to be a part of something as successful as that show. 100%. It's a real honour really.
