That's bloody go. We're on for a Friday. We've got a studio SodaStream now. We're moving up in the world aren't we? That SodaStream looks like it's from 1983. It does actually. How old does that SodaStream look? Yeah yeah. I'd say 2000s era.

Remember the 1980s ones with the brown and beige ones that had the glass bottles? You had one in the 1980s? I didn't even know they existed until 10 years ago. My parents had one now. No way. When I was a kid, we had the one

my parents always had with the glass bottles. You don't have the glass SodaStream bottles? Mate, we barely had water where I grew up. We barely had water where I grew up. We're on tank water. Sometimes we have to walk 15 miles in the snow, uphill both ways just to get to school. Now you're exaggerating.

But no, legit. I never even heard of fizzy water until I was in my 20s. I'm being full serious. Yeah, well, it's here. Wait, I'm gonna Google it. Not only is it here, it's here. Wait I've got to google it. Not only is it here it's in the studio. When was the soda stream invented? 1903? You're off your rocker. Okay that blows my mind 1903. 1903, it says here though, the first commercially available home machine suitable for mass production wasn't until 1955.

Still, 1955, how fancy. How fancy were you in the 50s if you had a SodaStream? Text us on 9696 if your family had the brown and beige SodaStream with the glass bottles.

I don't remember. I don't remember, but the response that we got was shockingly large.

Was big, wasn't it? Producers, do you remember what set off the adult thumb sucking conversation? I think we walked in on you sucking your thumb, didn't we? That's what it was. That's what it was. And we weren't ashamed about it which is good. No I've never heard of the facts. You've got to own these things. She had both in her mouth at the same time.

Yeah double sucker. Pretty impressive to be honest. It's like kind of like a cow's udder. Yeah yeah. Momma. Momma. It was what did your relationship survive right? That was,

Oh no, no. Yeah, what was it? My partner doesn't know about it. Yeah. Whatever it was, we got quite a lot of messages from adult thumb suckers, more than we realised. Like messages like this, someone said, I sucked my thumb until 36.

I'm 40 today. I had to give it up when my kids started to say what my mum said to me for years as a child which was, uh-uh, thumb out. It's horrible. Four years later, I still feel the void. That person still misses it. They're not reformed. How did they manage, like if you're 36, that's a behaviour that's so ingrained in you by 36. Like how did they give it up?

And how do you avoid sucking your thumb? Sucking your thumb? Sucking your thumb? Sucking your... God, that could have been worse. You know what? That was very close. You shouldn't be sucking your thumb as you're talking in this radio break.

They're sucking my thumb. How do you avoid sucking your thumb in a public space, in a workplace? Like if you're addicted to sucking your thumb, how do you not accidentally start sucking it in a staff meeting? You go to the bathroom for a secret suck. Ah, secret suck. It's gotta be so nice, you'd be like, I'm just gonna go to the bathroom for a cheeky little secret suck.

Yeah, yeah. I'm 43 and I don't suck my thumb anymore, but when I'm tired I rub hair ties against my lips. It's like an innate comfort. Ooh, interesting. That's a sensory thing. My sister is 33 and she still sucks her thumb. She also has a blankie.

33, thumb sucker with a blankie. Okay. Also, my best friend is 38 and she sucks her thumb. She also has a blankie. 33, thumb sucker with a blankie. Okay. Also my best friend is 38 and she sucks her thumb too. It's a comfort thing and they do it together when she comes over. That's, okay, that's bizarre. Well, because you're in a safe place, right? That's bizarre. You can finally, it's like furries. I wonder- They can finally be who they are around other furries. I'm so interested to know for the adult thumbsuckers. Yeah.

Like is that something like how long does it take you to share that when you get into a relationship? And do you want to stop but you can't? Is it like vaping? You know? Or it's like chewing your nails. Yeah, you know it's disgusting but you just keep doing it. Can we talk to some adult thumbsuckers?

Yeah I'd love to talk to you guys how long has it been? Yeah. Have you tried to give up? How many times? Have you given up for a period and then you've come back to it? Do you keep it a secret? Yeah did you keep it a secret in your relationship for ages? Have you tried that special nail polish which makes your fingers taste disgusting? Some people learn to love that taste. Yeah yeah yeah and how's your teeth because people always talk about how they'll give you bad teeth. Yeah it makes your teeth. Have you got buck teeth? Go buck yeah. Yeah. Go bucky. Oh $800 at him. It's a safe space okay we're just curious. Yeah no

judgment I mean I'd much rather that than other things. Like? Um, I mean, there's a lot worse things. Like if I was dating someone and I found out that they were a thumb sucker. Yeah. If they were a good person and if they had everything else. Yeah. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Yeah, right. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm like, ah. Yeah, sure. Okay. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Yep. Would be a deal breaker for you? No, yeah sure. Okay. Yeah. Yeah would be a deal-breaker for you No, not a deal-breaker. Not a why did you get why'd you boys go high at the end when you said it? Tell the truth

Well, I've never been in this I mean if it was if they were really hot, I mean almost nothing would be a deal-breaker So, you know, it's all relative. Oh and redis anymore text nine six nine six We want to talk to some adult thumbsuckers this afternoon deal-breaker so you know it's all relative. Oh $100 ZM or text 9696 we want to talk to some adult thumbsuckers this afternoon. Where are you? Save space we'd love to talk to you. Give us a call now. That is Brent Clint.

We're looking to talk to some adult thumbsuckers. It's a phenomenon that we didn't know existed until this week and no shame we just want to know what's the appeal and what's lifelike as an adult thumbsucker. I feel a Louis Thoreau documentary coming on. And no shame, we just want to know what's the appeal and what's life like as an adult thumb sucker. I feel a Louis Thoreau documentary coming on. It is that kind of feeling about it, doesn't it? It's just quite interesting because obviously to suck your thumb, a lot of kids do it and it is a comfort thing. But then as we realised the other day, quite a lot of people continue to do it into their

30s and 40s. What do you reckon the age is where it becomes taboo? I reckon it's four. No way! I reckon it's like maybe seven. Seven? Yeah. Nah. You can't suck your thumb at school can you? Can you? Yeah but like if you if a six-year-old was sucking their thumb at home you wouldn't like you'd tell them to stop but people wouldn't be like oh that's so weird. We have some adult thumb suckers on the phone, so let's find out. First, though, someone texted and said,

I would 100% have been an adult thumb sucker, but I fell over at 14 and I broke my arm and I got put in a full cast. I couldn't get my thumb to my mouth, I was devastated, but by the sounds of it, it made them go cold turkey and it broke the addiction. But what about the other arm? Oh, yeah, true.

You're only interested in one thumb? Yeah, maybe that was like it was the special thumb. Well, let's find out from some thumb suckers if there is a specific thumb. Chloe. Hi, Chloe. Hey, do you like a specific thumb? So it's not my thumb, it's my tongue. I'll put my tongue out and mouth a little bit and then suck on it, if that makes sense.

You'll suck on your own tongue? Wait, what? So explain it to us. Yeah, talk us through it. So just take my tongue out just a little bit, just so it's out of my lips just a little bit and I'll sit there and suck on it. I don't know how to do that. I'm trying, we're all trying.

Chloe, what is it for you? Is it a comfort, is it a sensory thing? I had a little blanket when I was a baby and I've done it ever since I was a baby. I did stop for a period and then I started again. You picked it up again like a hobby. Do you do what Bree suggested, like in the workplace do you go to the toilets for a secret suck? I mean I'm not that bad. You could

do that at work though, I feel like not many people would notice that. Oh if I saw Chloe with her tongue half hanging out of her mouth at her desk having a big old suck I'd be a little bit suspicious. Yeah. Yeah. Hey Chloe, do what makes you comfortable, do what makes you happy. Do you have a partner and do you suck their tongue? No, I don't suck their tongue. They know about the tongue sucking? Yes, because I do it in bed before I go to sleep and I'll get my foot rubbed going and I think it between my fingers. Just a little secret tongue suck before bed, eh Chloe? Yeah. Why not?

How old are you, Chloe? I'm 26. 26, okay. Thank you very much, we appreciate it. What about this text that's just come through? I suck my ring in middle finger. I'm 36 years old. I do this when I'm extremely overtired

and twirl my hair whilst doing it. It's a comfort thing. Oh my god, like a baby. That's a real sensory thing. Yeah, that's what little, little, little kids do with the hair twirl as well. But that can be an ADHD thing. Oh, can it?

Yeah, it's very common for people with ADHD to twirl their hair. Liam's here, hi Liam. Hi Liam. Oh, hello guys. Not quite a thumbsucker, but the fingers are going in the mouth for you, aren't they? Oh mate, yeah.

I am a nail biter. Oh, I love it. Liam. Oh, you love it. Look at him. No, not really. I was joking there, but it's a fair habit, eh? Yeah.

Liam, are you one of those people that's so bad that you bite it down to like the skin? Um, sort of. So like you know how you look at your nail and then you kind of get that you know that white bit on the top of it? Yeah. When it's growing? Yeah I bite that right down. Liam, have you tried that special nail polish which makes your fingers taste yucky? Yeah when I was a kid my mum got me on to that stuff. Yeah. yeah and I was I just licked it off and then went at my fingers again. And you wouldn't put it on yourself would you it's like putting like dog poo in your

beer why would you want to make your favorite thing taste bad? Yeah yeah nah yeah mum would put those things on it just just nothing would work. I just kept that habit around. How old are you, Liam? I'm 26. My best advice to you, because I was a nail biter for years, just could not get rid of it. Then I finally, Liam, stopped biting all my nails because it was getting so bad, but I'd give myself my little pinky nails and that would be my treat. That's your treat, yeah, yeah. I would still bite my pinky nails. And then the only thing that made me stop is when I'd get my nails painted with shellac,

which is quite hard. And because I'd paid money for it, I wouldn't chew them because I didn't want to ruin it. Send them nice fake nails on there Liam. Yeah, I kind of like do leave them. I'm kind of bad, I kind of leave them and let them grow out a little bit just to make it a little bit nicer. Nice for you to eat later. If he's got a big event coming up, he doesn't bite them for a few weeks. Someone said, lol I'm watching all the people in the cars around me poking out their tongues and sucking on them.

It's quite nice actually. And someone else said, my mum still sucks her thumb at 37. my nana sucked her thumb right up until the day she passed away. It's hereditary. She was 73. It was always a bedtime thing. So you're a family of thumb suckers. It's hereditary yeah. What about this? This is what I was saying before. All these are sensory soothing actions super common with autistic ADHD neurodivergent people. Oh there you go. Liam have you had a diagnosis? Are you ADHD? Probably. ZN's Bre Anclint. Bre are you a double dipper? Depends who I'm there with and sharing a bowl of dip or other miscellaneous things I dip stuff into. We

had this conversation earlier in the week Actually where we both agreed that it's okay to double dip with your significant other. Yeah Absolutely, cuz they're gonna eat whatever the germs are they're gonna get them anyway. Oh man my partner We're going wait, we're triple dipping triple dip. Yeah, sometimes if it you know, yeah if the moods right Yeah, you guys just looking straight from the pot If the mood's right, triple dip. You guys are just licking straight from the pot, aren't you? Yeah, sometimes. Lick the chip, lick the pot, off you go.

Sometimes I just get my head down there like a little cat and I'm like... With the dip. With the dip. With the dip. With the dip. Dip, D-I-P. D-I-P, hummus.

Yes. Yeah. Are we gonna get a video out of that? Is that going to be a video? You don't think these things through. I mean, you've been here where I am right now. But I mean, representation is important, you know? Visible representation is important. What the hell did the conversation turn into that? You know what you did. Double dipping for those who don't know

is where you take a bite of your food, or you dip it, you bite it, and then you re-dip it after it's been in your mouth. That's the bit that people get funny about, the fact that this bit, the end, has been in your mouth. It's got your saliva on it. It's got your saliva on it. But can we just talk first,

there is two different types of double dipping. There's obviously the you know eat it put it straight back in and then there's the eat it turn the vessel around and use the button which no one is doing I mean I have done that with a cheerio okay now show us you doing the button science has come to the party and they have said it's actually quite a very, it's quite a low amount of bacteria that gets reintroduced to the gas. Not much at all.

A study from Clemson University found that double dipping can transfer thousands of bacteria bacteria from a person's mouth into dips, cheese, salsa, chocolate, but not harmful. Not enough to be harmful. Like all good bacteria. No, not all good bacteria. No, as in like all good bacteria. That amount of bacteria is all good. Not that bacteria is all good. Different. Not like, what's that ad on TV with the millions of the probiotics and they're like, we're here to save your gut.

That's right. That one. What is that? What is that? What's that? Oh God. The good bacteria. Hold on.

There's good bacteria in every... Yeah, yeah. We're here to save you. No, it doesn't matter. Um, the good bacteria. Hold on. There's good bacteria in every... Yeah, yeah. We're here to save you. No, it doesn't matter. Why don't we remember that?

I don't know. It was such a big campaign. Salsa, by the way, if you double dip into salsa, the highest amount of bacteria transfer goes into salsa because it's so thin for some reason and liquid but the bacteria dies off quickly because the salsa is so acidic. Isn't that interesting? But is it wrong? Actually no, I think you'll be with me on this.

When I see certain people double dipping, I feel more gross than other people. Well that's because. I feel more gross than other people. Well that's cause some people are more gross than other people. I think it's to do with people I know better. Yeah. I'm fine with. Yeah. Strangers. What about a man with a full mustache

and he gets a little bit of hummus left on the bottom of the mustache and then he's going back in for another dip. So you know that that chip has not only gone in his mouth, it's also grazed his mustache. Yeah, I don't know where that mustache has been. Yeah. You know?

Claudia, what was the name of the thing? Have you had your Inner Health Plus today? Inner Health Plus! Have you had your Inner Health Plus today? If you haven't, just share a dip with a friend. The Inner Health Plus people are gonna love this. Yeah. Is this the advertising they want? Surely. Yeah I reckon. Yeah yeah. No markings for sure. Anyway long and short of it is yes it does put bacteria in the dip. No it's not enough bacteria to make you sick. Mm-hmm. But where do they sit on

what we discussed earlier? Licking the dip from the... Oh, licking straight from the bowl. Yeah. Yeah, jury's out on that one. So we have to go back to the lab. Okay. Brie and Clint. Did you lose your hair when you were young? Early. Like how early? Yeah. Some people look like loser when they're 15, 14. Some people lose like a bunch of it early

and then it stops. You know, and then they never lose anymore. Yeah. Like they just lose a bit and they go, oh, that's it I guess. And then it stops like right there. Like, oh, okay. For the next 40 years.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly right. It's a weird thing. So we wanna talk to some people. Josh is here. Hi, Josh. Hi, Josh. How's it going? Good, thank you, mate.

Is it you? Did you lose your hair young? Yep, it was me. How old were you, Josh? I was 21. 21, that sucks, man. Oh yeah, pretty much not long after my 21st birthday. How did that affect you, Josh?

How'd you handle it? I, hated every second of it. Blamed everything under the sun. My mum was just like, no, look at your uncles. It's their fault, Josh. It was in the family. Oh, yes, and totally their fault. Did your mates give you shit? Oh, yes.

That's so mean. It has to happen. I hope they're bald now Josh. Yeah. Oh no. Second lush. Karma will find them. How old are you now Josh? 42. 42.

You would have seen on social media all the trends of guys go to Turkey and getting a new head of hair. Is that something that you could do? Is it something you would consider or would it be too strange for you to now show up with a full head of hair? Uh, probably be too strange. Yeah, I'm so used to it now. Do you, when it happened Josh, did you fully shave it and do you have a fully shaved head now or do you have like a little bit? What are you rocking? Yeah, did you hang on to the wispy bits? I mean I cut it short, I basically just shave it myself, not like with a razor. Clipper?

You know, with a clipper with no cover. That's it. And did you do that from when you were 21 or? No, I kept it a little bit, started wearing hats for a bit, then I was like, nah, stuff this. Oh you, stuff this. Yeah. Oh, you poor bugger. How often do people bring up Jason Statham to you? People actually thought I looked like him. Yeah, there you go. Josh, it ain't all bad then. Yeah, they actually said, oh yeah, that's your doubled gang. I bet your missus loves it Josh, some laddies bloody love a bald head.

I love a bald head. I'm drawn to the bald heads. Like a beacon for me, I'm like a moth to a flame. This person wants to be anonymous but you did go and get the hair transplant thing done anonymous. Hi anonymous. Hello. Hello, that's you.

When abouts did you get the hair transplant done Anonymous? About 18 months ago. I went to India to get my teeth fixed and it was really like the hangover. I woke up with a hair transplant. And what's it been like Anonymous? Has it been a great decision? Yeah, yeah it's good. It's real good. You have a bit of fun with it, I sort of get people to try and guess where they got the hair from because it's got a little bit of a curl in it and things like that. They do have to get the hair from somewhere else on your body don't they? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Anonymous, I thought they take it out of other parts of your head and then like... Yeah they do. They do, but you can have some fun with it, you know, and just pretend you got it

off your arse or something. Oh I see what you're saying, you can wind people up. I was like, I didn't know they could put pubes on your head. I didn't know that you could. Which they probably could. I wouldn't go into pubes. Yeah they probably could. Probably could have went there. Don't wax those ones.

They'll get it off your chest or under your chin if you're getting a bit sparse. Really? I didn't know that. I didn't know that people went to India for this. I knew about Turkey, but I didn't know that India was an option. If you don't mind us asking Anonymous, what is the new head of hair cost if you go to India to get it done? I think if you got all the airfares and accommodation and everything,

I think you could probably do it for probably 10 to 12 grand. Yeah. Okay. And worth it? Yeah, oh definitely. Definitely, I mean, it's like having a new set of boobs. I feel so confident, you know? Yeah, it's like the boob job for men. Yeah. That's like having a new set of boobs. I feel so confident.

Yeah, it's like the boob job for men. That's the way. You got it. And what did people say eventually? Because I know it's like a 12-month process for it actually to grow and look how it's supposed to look. What have people said to you when you haven't seen them in however many years and then they see you with a full head of hair. Well we're a lot of mongrel mates so it's a bit of field day with it to be fair but you know. Jealous, jealous. Yeah let's go with jealousy I don't know if it is. Boys are classic eh. Like they'll give you shit for going bald and they'll give you shit for fixing it. Yeah that's right, you can't win.

Good on you Anonymous, I say yeah. Good on you for going to get it done. I recommend anyone go and smash it out. You feel pretty good with yourself. Amazing. We appreciate the input. There you go, that was fascinating. That was really interesting.

Bri and Clint, do you remember what you said to me last week about the game that I assembled lovingly for you? Oh, that it was fantastic.

Yeah, that it was really good. One of the best games we've played. And you chose a good range of New Zealand artists for New Zealand Music Month. Weirdly not how I remember it. The way I remember it was you said I needed to diversify a little bit more. So that's what I've done.

I've gone with the same theme because it is New Zealand Music Month. I'm doing Kiwi Artists New Zealand Music. That's right, Clinton had a Tanty because there was two 660 songs in there. One of them was a Drax and 660. I kind of agreed with him. Yeah, fair enough. I did have to agree. These are still very popular songs but maybe a little more rogue than usual. Okay. But Bree and Clint, you guys are going to go first.

The first team to three points will take home the win. Are we ready? Ready. Kiwi songs, let's do it. Bri. Bri. Boots and all, Kayleigh Bell. So quick. Well done. I listened to it like a million times. That's not rogue, that's Bri's favourite song. When I was rewriting it for our our anniversary song last year. That was the one for Bree. Banger.

Best pop artist, yeah. Oh, that was good from you, Noah. Guys, we're all tied up. We're all tied up. And if you didn't think that was rogue, just you wait. Oh, Noah! I feel like this might be Clint's game to win, but everyone is in on this one. You can all buzz in and this is for the win. Good luck. Clint.

Clint. That's stellar and violent. You're correct. Niwea, you've got 50k of sea chicken dollars coming your way. Congratulations. Oh, Clint, my brother. I'm hungry as well my bro And Noah you've got the memories Yeah that'll do for me thank you

Yeah good on you babe And they can't take those away No Niwa will spend his kfc you'll have the memories forever Noah Have a good long weekend I'll be spending it ASAP man ASAP Hey Claudia well well done. Hey thanks, was that a bit more fun?

Yeah, you brought in your horizons a bit. You wouldn't believe it, no 660. Crazy right? I had to restrain myself. There was other artists. Insane to do a New Zealand music list without 660 or Lord of it. You wouldn't read about it. It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast.

I read that the University of Waterloo, which is a university in Canada and ABBA did attend. Um, so it's in Ontario over, uh, over in Canada. And apparently they've just launched a brand new course that students can take. And the course description reads like this, you've probably already started to notice that things won't get done unless you do them. From managing your finances, grocery shopping,

keeping your laundry whites white, staying organized, there are a lot of important life skills you might have wished you'd learned sooner. So do this course. Oh my god. A life skills course at university? It's an adult course. How to be an adult. Wow. Do we have to be taught that by a university now? I've always said, I have always said that I reckon high school,

I don't know if it's in high school or in uni or somewhere where they need more practical lessons. I kind of agree that there should be like a six month intensive training course before you leave home yeah to get all the bits that you might have missed. Things like how to cook. But what do you mean that we might have missed? I don't feel I feel like we don't get taught any of that. We don't get taught. Well, it depends what you're talking about. What things specifically?

Just lots of adult stuff. Aren't your parents supposed to teach you most of it? I went to boarding school. Yeah, well there you go. So I needed to learn it at school. Yeah, fair enough. And we didn't get taught it, you know? I thought we could go around the room

and just say what we think should be included in the course that they're having here at the Kennedy University for adults. I had to think about this. I think it would have been beneficial for me if I had had a course on how to back a trailer. That's great. Put that on the list. It's emasculating when I have to get out, take the trailer off, turn the car around and then reattach the trailer to the car. I have to get my wife to come out and help me push the trailer into the driveway because I have no idea. I can't do it. Yep. I mean it's humbling, isn't it? It's very humbling. I think they should have to teach you how to send a letter

or package at the post office and they should they need to teach you how to send like within the country that you're in or international. Very different. I still don't know. I have to ask the lovely post office people every time. Claudia, what do you want to be taught? I would love like a car mechanics basics kind of situation. Put that on the list. I'm scared of mechanics because I don't understand it. Oh, you mean like a dealing with mechanics course? Yeah, or just what the lights mean.

Not how to change a tyre. She just wants to know how to talk to the mechanic. How to talk to the people that change the tyre. How to call people and book appointments. Oh yeah, that's good. Well we're getting to the point where how to talk on the phone will need to be on there. Pixie, you're a Gen Z, what do you think your generation would get out of how to be an adult course? I personally have never been good at washing. Something always comes out small, something always comes out discoloured. I just need like a manual that tells me what all the settings mean and like just what to click.

Yeah, yeah. Something's always wrong. Would be very helpful. You know what else they should do? And I know that there's like Home Ec, but they should do like a real basic how to sew a button back onto a shirt. Oh yeah, how to fix a hole in something. Yeah, like just the amount of clothes that have gone to the dogs for me because a button has fallen off. God, if our grandparents could hear us,

they would be ashamed. Ashamed. Do you want to skillshare with me, Bree? How to grow vegetables? Yeah, how to grow vegetables. As you fix my car, I'll sew your buttons back on. We can skillshare. Deal.

Okay. Guys, who's gonna back my trailer? I your buttons back on. We can Skillshare. Deal. Okay. Guys, who's going to back my trailer? I can do that too. Okay, great. Me too. Cool, thanks. It's ZM's Bri and Clint podcast. Time for Fridayoke.

Ladies and gentlemen, Bri and Clint's Fridayoke. Here we go. Fridayoke's back. Did you miss it? Ian Clintz, Friday Oakey! Here we go, Friday Oakey's back. Did you miss it? Every Friday we take on a cover challenge, essentially, and we do the best we can with Sam. He's a pro, and he makes us sound as good as possible. We've done all kinds of songs. We've done rap songs,

we've done country songs, we've done pop songs. This song is something else though. Mm, it's a big one. It's a big one. From someone with a very big voice. We're gonna do Lady Gaga's Abracadabra. Abracadabra, amor una, na. Abracadabra, morga u gaga.

Abracadabra, abrac, una, na. She could be the greatest pop star of our generation. And we're deciding that we can tackle one of her songs on Friday. I do not remember whose turn it is to go first. Do you want to rock off for it? Three, two, one, shoot. Three, two, one, shoot. Three, two, one, shoot. You're first.

I feel bad for you. Neither of us have heard these yet. Neither of us have heard how we did. I didn't listen to my mix. Did you listen to your mix? I heard three seconds of it when I had to go in and re-record something else and it made me cringe about myself. Claudia's heard them haven't you Claudia? I heard enough to load them in and you guys definitely sang it. Hey we

could be we could be pleasantly surprised. We could be, yeah. Which we are sometimes. Sometimes we are, absolutely. I don't know if it's gonna be this time. Your job listening is to hear both mine and then Breeze. They're just short, we haven't done the whole song, don't worry, and then call through to vote on the winner. I like how you're preempting how bad it is by telling people it's not the whole thing.

It's like getting the jab. You're like, it'll be, it'll be over quickly. Okay. Short sharp pay and then it's over. Arjen let's go. Arjen you got it. You got it mate. You got this. Here it is. My attempt at Lady Gaga. Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra Pay the toll to the angels Drawing circles in the clouds Keep your mind On the distance When the devil

Turns around Hold me in your heart tonight In the magic of The dark moonlight Save me from this empty fight In the game of life Like a palm palm sand, by a lady in red, you hear the last few words of your life. In the haunting dance, now you're both in a trance, it's time to cast your spell of

the night. I'm from Kadabra, I'm a Unana I'm from Kadabra, I'm a Ngaka I'm from Kadabra, I'm a Unana In the time she said, death all of tonight Okay, no auto-tune this week then Sam? No, we're not doing that. I loved it. I loved it. Cordia has gone red listening to it.

I couldn't stop moving. Oh. Oh God. Are you alright? I feel like as a friend I need to ask if you're okay. You know those, do you remember those vibratrain things where you'd stand on and give you a full body workout? Yeah. Cause your muscles tense up.

I feel like I've been on one of those. Like I feel like I've been tight. It's done now though. Mine's done. It was rough. It was rough. But I will say the timing was there, the passion was there and the energy, the energy. Someone text in, Bri wins. Mate, if you think that's bad,

I like honestly I heard bits of mine and it's going to be more of the same. We don't know, we don't know, we've got to listen. No, I know. Someone just said Clint ruined my long weekend. Sorry about that. Here we go, okay, you've heard mine. You can't vote until you've heard Breeze as well. I'm so much more nervous after hearing yours. Because I know. It's very raw. Very raw. Abracadabra abracadabra. Abracadabra abracadabra. Here we go. I'm going gonna be bad. Good luck. Praise the name. Pay the toll to the angels, drawing circles in the clouds. Keep your mind on the distance when the devil turns around.

I'm happy with that. We would love to. I'm happy with that. I'm happy.

Do you think there was less production on them this week? Like did they seem a little bit more, you know, raw? Or is that just what we sound like? I think that's just what Gaga brings, you know? She's kind of raw and real. Alright, the phone lines are officially open. I just opened them. We're looking for five people to call through and pick the winner of Friday Oki this week.

Play Zayn Eames, Bree and Clint. Describes the vibe in the studio. I feel remorseful. Nah, you gotta own it. I'm here for it. I think we did Gaga proud. You may have just missed us taking on Lady Gaga's Abracadabra for Fridayoke. Mine sounded like this. Abra Kedabra, I'm a Hoonana, Abra Kedabra, Motta Oogaga

The replay is just as good as I remember it. It sounds like South Park. And Breeze sounded like this. Abra Kedabra, I'm a Hoonana, Abra Kedabra, Motta Oogaga Yeah, I'm happy with the replay. There was a bad bit, didn't there? We have five brave New Zealanders standing by to pick the winner. Let's start with Lee, is it Lee?

LJ, I think. LJ. Hello. Hello, LJ. How you doing? I'm much better after hearing that. I'm good, LJ. how you doing? I'm much better after hearing that. Oh good LJ, you're welcome.

Yeah, I think, I mean, I'm an acting student so we've always been taught, you know, it's about what you put out as an offer. So I think with that I have to go with Clint because I could hear so much passion behind everything. I did try to give it a bit of a musical theatre treatment, LJ. You know, just... I could feel it. 140%. Okay, look, I'll take it and I appreciate it. I don't know that I deserve it, but I will take it.

Thanks, LJ. Let's go to Andy. Hi, Andy. G'day, Andy. Yeah, g'day. G'day, mate. Happy Friday. Yeah, same to you, babe. What do you reckon, happy Friday. Yeah, same to you babe.

What do you reckon Andy? I think there's a clear winner. I reckon there's a clear winner. Free did some amazing, oh look what that was. But I really feel Clint wanted it and the timing was amazing. That's what I said. I did want it at the time

and then when it played I wanted it to end. So can we just confirm, are you voting for me Andy? Yeah, Andy babe. Okay, thank you. Thanks Andy, see you babe. Let's talk to Addison next. Hi Addison. Hi Addison.

Thank you, Addison. We appreciate it. There's one vote left and it's going to go to Gavin. Hello, Gavin. Big dog, Gavin. Hey. Mate, you are the decider. Yeah, when I heard that, heard Clinton was pretty shocking and pretty bad, but Breeze was the better song. I'm going to go and agree. Oh Gavin! Abracadabra, hama hunana, Abracadabra, moka uga gaa.

I mean you've got to be happy with that. I thought it was all over for me. I had a feeling it was going that way. Yeah, I thought it was going to be a clean sweep. I did not, I was like wow am I actually going to? Yeah and I thought geez have people started the long weekend early. Someone texted and said after listening to Clintz once more it sounds like Jar Jar Binks doing karaoke.

Someone else said holy shit did you both have to sing while holding an electric fence? Abra-jada, Abra-ama-unana, Abra-kate-abra, bota-ukaka. Thanks everybody, and congratulations to Brie. Thank you guys. I don't think there's a congratulations

that we need to give out this week. I think there were no winners. We'll do your birthday bangers next. If you want. I don't think there's a congratulations that we need to give out this week. I think there were no winners. We'll do your birthday bangers next. If you want to know the number one song on your 16th birthday. ZM's Bree and Clint podcast.

Your game, Anna. You got a contingency? Like, have you got like a motel in Whanganui as a backup in case it pisses down? Well, no, but we're in a caravan so it's not so bad. Oh, you'll be alright. Yeah, you'll be fine. Pop your wool undies on, you'll be good.

Hey, what is your birthday, Anna? 23rd of November 1978. Do they make those? Wool undies sounds good. You can actually get merino undies. They make thermal undies? Yeah. Oh, that'd be lovely. I've got a pair of merino undies sounds, you can't actually get merino undies. They make thermal undies? Yep. Oh that'd be lovely.

I've got a pair of merino undies actually. God you'd have the warmest, like cosiest gooch wouldn't you? They're very soft. Yeah, would be lovely. Hey, um, Anna, sorry about that. And naturally odour resistant. Really? Why don't we wear those more often?

Why don't we? God. Anyway, sorry Anna. Sorry Anna, you were 16 in 1994 and here's your birthday banger. Oh it's a good one from 5 Anna. Absolute banger Anna, that's a good one.

Okay, wait there. there we're gonna decide between Fidler Grand's The Bahar Men and Five. Pretty sure I'm gonna vote for Who Let the Dogs Out. Are you? You're gonna let the dogs out?

The winner of birthday banger today for Ava's mum Beck is Fiddler Granz and put your hands up for Detroit from the year 2006 God I love that song Put your hands up for Detroit From time to time there's a clerical era in birthday banger it's pretty hard working out the number one song on people's 16th birthdays every day. We do it all by hand. Yeah yeah. And brain back here. And we rely on people on the text machine to let us know when we've mucked it up and today we mucked it up. Yeah we mucked it up and that was you Anna we mucked yours

up sorry. Yeah apparently. I mean you were happy with yours. Five is a great song. I didn't mind it. Five was not out in 1994. In fact, Five was still at high school in 1994. So it can't be your birthday banger. Anna, do you want to know what your real birthday banger is? Can't wait. OK, you were 16 in 1994, like we said.

And Anna, this is your actual birthday banger. Can't wait. Okay, you were 16 in 1994, like we said. And Anna, this is your actual birthday banger. Oh my god! That's shocking. Should have stuck with five, Anna. I should have stuck with five. That is the word. Now I can see you, Anna, at a grumpy hole in the 90s dancing to this. That's gonna be stuck in my head.

Yeah. You're gonna be do-si-do-in? Yeah. Oh well. Oh well. Oh well. Now you know. That wouldn't have won anyway.

No, it wouldn't. It would not have changed the game. No. No. Yeah. But hey, at least we got it right, you know. Thank you for holding us accountable everybody, we appreciate it. ZN's Brian Clint. I was talking yesterday, was it on our podcast that we were talking about this? I think so.

Anyway, I've been to the doctors for a checkup recently. Nothing's wrong, but I just wanted to get like a full checkup. You wanted a few different things to be done. I wanted a full wharf. Yeah you wanted the exam done on your b-height. Excuse you. You did. You said that's one thing that you walked in asking for. No I didn't. No it's not what I said. And then the doctor was uncomfortable. No I said whatever I need to have done I'm here to have it done. You're like I'm open to everything. I was trying to be responsible, okay? One of the tests that the doctor recommended I have, and this is serious, just for a second this is serious. No, it is, let me be serious for a second.

So my mum has stomach cancer at the moment, and there's a certain bacteria that you can have that lives in your stomach, which is carcinogenic. And if you have it and they know that you've got it early, then they can treat it and they can get rid of it. And I said, okay, well, absolutely. If you think that's a good idea, I want to be tested for that. And he goes, cool for that one, we need a stool sample. Right. So you had to do a poo sample.

I had to do a poo sample. And I won't go into the details of that, of what's involved with that, but I did it. I did it at home and I got it done and I kept it a secret. I didn't tell my wife that I was doing it because I didn't want her to know what I was doing in the bathroom. What if she needed to help you? No! No. Sometimes they do. They give you the little tray and you do the thing in the tray and then they give you a little jar with a scooper on it and you put it in the scooper in the jar and then you package it up and you put it in a brown Paper bag so no one can see what it is. What if you miss the tray?

Well, if you miss the tray then go again tomorrow, I think How big is the tray? The tray is big enough that it covers the bottom of the toilet bowl Like without it getting wet, you know, you can put the bottom of the toilet bowl like without it getting wet. You know, you can put the tray in the bowl. Don't worry about the tray, okay? The tray does its job. So I feel like I need to worry about the tray. So I take the sample in sheepishly to the lab place today

and I sort of walk in knowing that I'm carrying. Is it a clear sample jar? Clear sample jar. Why are they clear? Because, well you're about to find out why. Clear sample jar inside a clear plastic bag, inside a brown plastic bag for modesty. And I walk into this place knowing

that I'm carrying a bag of my own business. Yeah. And no one really cares, but I care and my head's kinda down while I'm going in like, oh god, this is so embarrassing. And I take it up to the desk, it's like a full lab test place.

There's people there waiting to have blood tests and all kinds of things done, they're busy in there. And I go up to the counter and I was like, hi, I've just got something to drop off. And she goes, okay, let's just have a look. And she takes it out of the brown paper bag, she puts on a glove and the little mask, she takes the jar out of the plastic bag.

What, the person at the counter? Yes, the person at the counter in the middle of the waiting room where everybody else is waiting. She holds it up to the light to have a look at the sample. And there, inside the plastic jar is the sample. And at that point I'm just like, oh. Should she be doing that?

Well, that's the job, I guess. Is that her job? I don't think. That's a nurse or a doctor's job, isn't it? I don't think she is a nurse or a doctor. Oh. Yeah. I didn't realise that. Is this a hospital?

It's a lab test. So I think they're called like Awanui Labs or whatever it is now. Oh yeah, right, right. And so she's basically a one person operation. She's in there strapping up the arms, sticking in the needles, meeting the people at the desk. They don't get paid enough, those people. No's in there strapping up the arms, sticking in the needles, meeting the people at the desk.

They don't get paid enough, those people. No. But there she is, holding my sample up to the light in front of a full- What'd she reckon? Was it enough? Waiting room full of people. Yeah, well, I got the tick of approval. Once she'd seen it, she then went, okay, have a nice day, and popped it back on the bag. And then I got to leave. Honestly, you know what they always say about these situations? They see it all the time, it's not a big deal to them, it's just another day looking at someone else's poo.

It wasn't her that I was concerned about, it was the room full of other people waiting who were then seeing it as well. It was just more people than I expected to see that sort of thing, you know? I thought I could anonymously drop off my brown bag of shit and be on my way. But no, they gotta put a face to the shit. Well now we know how dogs feel. Ha ha ha ha ha.

We're picking it up in public. Walking around with it. I read this interesting article where they think they have nailed the exact age that we turn into our parents. Oh no one can avoid it. It is coming for all of us they say. I take it as a compliment these days. Oh yeah. Because I'd love to be my parents. Who do you want to be more, your mum or your dad? I'd like to be 50-50. Okay.

Because I think they both have great qualities. And then some qualities, not so much. A lady with a mustache. Well, I already have that. 50-50. Yeah, I've been waxing it for years. Nah, according to this, so a bunch of people took a survey and then they think they have pinpointed the age in which people believe they turn into their parents.

Okay. So it's different for women and men. Yeah. So the average age that they reckon women will turn into their parents is around 42. Oh, okay. 42 for men a little bit older 45. Yeah right but it's 40s early to mid 40s. So on average it's 43. And girls turn into their mums and boys turn into their dads? Not necessarily. I think it's just qualities or behaviors or traits that you've picked up from your parents

that you I think start to notice. And you know why I think it's 40s? Why? Because most people or a lot of people would have kids or you know young kids and then obviously you start seeing some of your parents' parenting techniques come out. Oh the parenting thing is huge. Yeah, yeah. Like that I think forces you into that kind of realm a bit more. I also wonder if it's because you spend your teens and your 20s, well your teens rebelling and then your 20s

desperately trying to create an identity for yourself, trying to become who you think you are. And then 30s probably still a bit of the same. And by the 40s, do you kind of just give up and you're like, oh. Well these are the different- I'm sick of trying. Signs that people said was an indicator for them that they were turning into their parents. So dressing purely for comfort. Yep. Was one. He dressing purely for comfort was one.

Heading to bed by 10 p.m. was another. Yeah. Clint, I'm looking at you. Don't wait until you're 45 to go to bed by 10 p.m. Feeling guilty for sleeping in on weekends. Yep, yep. And rounding out the list was gardening, taking up gardening and enjoying it, having

a favourite chair, proudly using loyalty cards and investing in a thick winter duvet. God, if that's all it takes, I'm basically there. I've done most of those. You're not far off. The bed one no. Oh no, sometimes I'm in bed by 10. Yeah. I think I've done all of them. Someone just texted me and said I'm 25 and I do all of those things. You started early. Yeah, you know you just figured it out. I think all those things are great. Oh yeah yeah, no, I'm definitely turning into my parents. Dressing purely for comfort is a big one.
