Starting point is 00:05:34 People can see it if they go to our Instagram. Bob, you go on to our Instagram. It's uncanny how much we look like Fletchwan and Haley right now. Your legs in those stockings. Not bad. I think you can pull it off. Hey, thanks, Bats. Yeah, you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:05:46 And you look good with the beard. Yeah, thanks. And a bald head. Thank you. Yeah. I appreciate that. You're welcome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Are you a big fan of Shorty Street? You've been watching keeping up to date? Probably not for 15 years. With the street. Sometimes I catch bits and pieces. Yeah. And I feel like the storylines just hook me in. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Like instantly. But I did see that this story was everywhere in the last couple of days where they killed off one of the main characters. Look, no spoilers if you are behind on Shorty Street because we are about to talk about quite a big spoiler. So this is your warning. apparently big news on the street is that they killed off
Starting point is 00:06:28 main character Cleo Atwell Is it you or is it me lately I have been lost of sins I think it changes what I... She'd only been on the show for about a year but she was a prominent character One of the main characters
Starting point is 00:06:45 And apparently you know how they killed her off? She was young, she was really young Oh they've got creative ways of killing people off on Shorty Take a guess. She was the first Shortland Street doctor to go on a nuclear-powered submarine. That's genius. And it didn't surface. It didn't resurface and they had to let her go.
Starting point is 00:07:04 See, that sounds like a Shorty Street storyline. No, they just threw her off the top of the hospital roof. Oh! Yeah. That's how they killed Tiffany back in the day. Oh, really? Yeah. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Guy's brother. No, Chris Warner's brother, Guy's wife. Yes. First wife. First wife. Was it Chris's wife? No, Guy's wife. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah. Got thrown off the top of the hospital. Yeah, she fell off the top of the hospital, yeah. Oh, no. Anyway, this apparently happened on Wednesday night's episode. Oh, no. And then was confirmed by a social media post the following day yesterday. Oh, that's how they're doing it these days.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yes. Right, okay. And it's funny because it's just a picture of, obviously, the woman who played a is Cleo Atwell, her name's Madeline McCarthy, and just RIP from 1999 to 2025. Sucks if you're that person's real family, but you haven't seen them for a bit and you didn't know they were on Shuland Street.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And the post comes up and you're like, oh my God, is my cousin dead? Yeah. She's not. The character she played on a fictional TV show is dead. Yeah. Yeah. It got me thinking about TV character deaths
Starting point is 00:08:16 that I have never gotten over. Yeah, I understand. You know? Like ones where they kill off. character and your favourite TV show and you'll never truly recover from it. This one was recent but I'm still dealing with it
Starting point is 00:08:29 and I don't know if I'm interested in watching season three of this show now when they killed, oh spoiler alerts Oh yeah, spoiler. Spoiler alerts for anyone who hasn't seen the last of us when they killed Joel. I've got that one down too. He was the whole point of
Starting point is 00:08:45 the show for me. Which I knew that it was coming. Yeah, I didn't. I don't play the game. Yeah. But even when I was playing the game It was like you've ruined the show, in my opinion. That was a pretty full-on TV character death. I think we can't go any further until we talk about. Spoilers, spoiler alert, the O.C. Marissa Cooper's death.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Do you still have to say spoiler alert for a show as old as the O.C? Oh, you know what people are like. They're going to be in their bonnet. Anyway, they killed her off in season three, and the show just went downhill from that. It was never the same. It was devastating. She died in a fiery crash. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Awful. Any others? Anybody else got a TV death? They're not over yet? Producers, I've got more. Yeah. I've got more. Another one for me was orange.
Starting point is 00:09:37 This might be one of the most, I was so emotional. Like, I've been emotional with all of these, but who say Washington? Who? The animal. Who? From Orange is the New Black.
Starting point is 00:09:51 She's French. That's a French name. Oh, okay, sorry. That's her actual name. Hussay Washington. That death, that TV death, rocked me. Oh, my God. Aurora from Outrageous Fortune?
Starting point is 00:10:03 Oh. Yep. Lexi Gray from Grey's anatomy. Dead is Franklin. We're talking about TV character deaths that rocked you to your core that you're still not over. You might never get over it. My God, we have touched. on a sore nerve this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:10:22 We need to also start this with. Yeah. There could be spoilers. So this is how I reckon we do it. Okay. We say the TV show first, which give you a chart. And then if you're currently watching that show for the first time, you can turn us down. Yep.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And then we say the character. Gotcha. Okay, good. So let's start with McLeod's daughters. Oh. If you happen to still be watching McLeod's daughters. You want to kick us off, Jordy? McLeod's daughters.
Starting point is 00:10:45 What was the character death that really upset you? Clear. Oh, God. God, it was gut-wrenching. Do any of the streaming platforms have McLeod's daughters at the moment? They bloody should. Surely someone should be showing it. Not sure.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I think it's a bit of an oldie, but they should bring it back. Did you cry when that happened, Jordy? Because I did. I think I've re-watched the episode at least half a dozen times each time I've cried. Me too. That's the cliff, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 And she's sitting in the youth. She's in the cab. Yeah. Awful. Okay, thanks, Jordy. Thanks for opening up that old wound. We appreciate it. Let's go to Emma on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Emma. Hi, Emma.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Hi, guys. Say the TV show first to be safe. It's The Walking Dead. Okay, the Walking Dead. I'm a big fan. Anybody currently not up to date with The Walking Dead? I know exactly which character. You know who I mean, right? I've never called into a show, but I'm so passionate. Emma, they took, there was, how many seasons in were we? We were like seven or eight seasons in. He was one of the characters from the start, for God's sake.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Yes. Go on, drop the name, Emma. Glenn. Glenn from the Walking Dead. A lot of people died in the Walking Dead, but it was the way he died, like, horribly God. It was so unnecessary. Underneath a Ben.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Poor old Glenn. He didn't deserve that, did he, Emma? No, he did not. No, he did not. Okay, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Matt's here. Good day, Matt.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Hi, Matt. Afternoon, how are you? We're good, thanks. TV show first, to give people the spoiler alert. What's the show? Supernatural. Supernatural. Oh yes, Supernatural, very popular show.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And the death you're not over, Matt? Charlie Bradbury. Yep. He was so hot, wasn't he? She? Oh. I'm thinking of... Wait, I'm thinking of the Superman show.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Oh, you're thinking of Smallville. Oh, my God. But Supernatural, was that the one with the two brothers? Yes. Dean, Winchester. Yeah, right. They were both hot brothers, too. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:12:55 She entered in as a ginger, lesbian, little sister kind of character, and, oh, she just, she rocked the world with her dead. And how do they kill her off, Matt? They kill, if you have, oh, it's an interesting one, because she was trying to translate something. There was an ancient text, and an angel, I believe, It was, they have to multiple times. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Stand by an angel. Far, right? It was a creepy show. Yeah, okay, thank you, mate. Thank you, Matt. We appreciate that. God, these are flooding in. There's so many on the text machine.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Let's quite try and get through at least a few of them. How I met your mother? Spoiler alert. Marshall's dad. That was very upsetting. Someone said, Sons of Anarchy. When they killed Tara, it was just brutal.
Starting point is 00:13:47 We have had so many texts about characters from Game of Thrones and Prey and I didn't watch Game of Thrones. It makes me think they might have killed everyone on Game of Thrones. It sounds like it, eh? There's so many different names coming in. There's one for De Nieris. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 What was the other one? Hobo. Hobo? What was it? Hodor. Hodor. You can tell I've never watched an episode. Big fan. Somebody takes in and said Van from Outrageous Fortune, which shocked me. And I said, surely not. Surely I didn't forget that. Van didn't die in Outrageous Fortune.
Starting point is 00:14:18 So they've... Go back and re-watch it. He's not dead. You said someone died from Outrageous Fortune? Yeah, Van's girlfriend, Aurora. Oh, yeah. Well, someone said Buffy's mum on Buffy the Vampire Slayer died. Okay. They said that one just slayed me.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Someone said the dad from Eight Simple Rules, which is a tough one because he actually died. So they had to kill his character. That show at the time was one of the biggest shows in the world. Kelly Cowocco. and the man who played the dad died. Yep. And they had to replace them with Joe Dirt.
Starting point is 00:14:55 That's right. Yeah. Someone, spoiler for Yellowstone. Oh, yeah. John Dutton from Yellowstone. They said they're still not over that. Yeah, ruined the show. They ended the show after that.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Yeah. Yeah. Someone else said, I will never get over Grace's death in once we were warriors. Once were warriors. Once were warriors. Once were warriors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Someone else said George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy I'll never get over that episode Oh Jennifer Coolidge and the White Lotus Oh These gays are trying to kill me Gutted when she went Yeah but they did it in a funny way

Starting point is 00:15:47 Oh, that one really rolled me too Thoughts and prayers, everybody Okay, thoughts and prayers Turns out Sorry, I've got to take my beard off to talk It stifles my speech I've had to take my wig off It was giving me a headache
Starting point is 00:16:05 This beard's given me a headache We're dressed as Fletchwoman and Haley for Halloween But I'm committed to being born For the whole show You're going to get sweaty under that board cap I hope you affected in a hair wash tonight. You don't want to know what's happening under this ball cap right now. Anyway, on our Instagram, if you want to see.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Apparently, they're trying to develop Pet-O-Zempic. Oh, yeah. So a Zempic for pets. Yeah. What are they called, G-L-P-1s? Yeah, something like that. I read this story where apparently a San Francisco-based company by the name of Okava have been investigating whether
Starting point is 00:16:44 the GLP1 receptors in cats could have similar effects to weight loss drugs. Wow, interesting. Isn't it shocking that we have made animals obese? Like, we are so awful. In the entire history of life on this planet, every creature has just fought to get just enough food to survive. And then we have reached a point in human evolution
Starting point is 00:17:10 where we're like, see that animal? I'm going to show it. I love it by feeding it to death. They do it's so cute. I'm going to feed it into an early grave. You just give you those big puppy dog guys and you're like, all right, you can have a little bit of my food. I know. And it's tough because nobody trusts a skinny cat.
Starting point is 00:17:27 No. Nobody likes a skinny cat. Like, show me one time where you've been sitting on the couch and a skinny cat has come to sit in your lap and you've enjoyed it. Uh-uh. You want a chunky monkey, don't you? My dogs, I feel like a perfect weight. Okay. Which is, I feel like it took a...
Starting point is 00:17:43 a little while, like you know where you have to figure out exactly how much your dog needs to eat. Yeah, yeah. But I feel like we got it perfect now. Right, okay. And how did they feel about it? They're starving all the time. Like they would, they would...
Starting point is 00:17:57 They tell you they are, right? My dog, Meryl Streep, little rescue, little staffy cross, she would eat herself to death. If she had the chance, she would. I got home last night and my family was out, but it was after the time the dog would usually have dinner and the dog was home. And he genuinely was looking at me like he hadn't had dinner.
Starting point is 00:18:17 He was like, they'll trick you. And I had to text to my wife and I said, has the dog had dinner? Because he's telling me. He hasn't. And she said, don't you believe that lying bastard for one second? Yeah. He's had dinner. Isn't it funny?
Starting point is 00:18:29 All dogs do that too. Yeah, they do. They'll be like, no, I haven't had dinner. Well, wait until we get you on the OZempick. Anyway, it's in development at the moment. Could be out soon. Yeah. Better than those humiliating underwater dog treadmills they put them on.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Have you seen those for the fat Labradors? And they put them on an underwater dog treadmill and they hook them into the harness and they're just walking and they dangle like a sausage in front of them or something? Isn't that for like when they're recovering from knee surgery? Probably from being too fat. Yeah, from being too fat.
Starting point is 00:18:58 It all stems from being a big... Hemp surgery from being too fat. Bumbelladdy fat dog-o. Imagine when they put an underwater treadmill for humans. I'd be keen for that. Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah. I want an underwater treadmill at a swim-up bar
Starting point is 00:19:12 so I can just feel like I'm exercising but I'm also having a Pina Collada at the same time. It's a great idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get that into development. Dead Am's Bree and Clint podcast. Who are the current talked about Nipo babies? Gracie Abrams?
Starting point is 00:19:29 Yep. Kate Hudson? Sabrina Carpenter. Sabrina Carpenter people like to bandy around, don't they? Because she's Nancy Cartwright's niece. I find that one a stretch. If you don't know who Nancy Cartwright is, she's the voice of Bart Simpson.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah. Yeah. So how does that a pop star make? I don't understand how that makes you a Nipo baby. She would have contacts with heaps of people in the industry. But it's just her auntie. Yeah? So.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Oh, I feel like it has a bit of a connection. We've got a fresh one. And it's not fresh, actually. This person's been in the industry for about 20 years, but I didn't realize they were a Nipo baby. And they've outed themselves. They said, I am a Nipo baby. And the person is...
Starting point is 00:20:08 Kira... I look quite pretty nightly as a Nipo baby. Yeah. She's done a podcast where she said, my dad was an actor, my mum is slash was a writer. They both predominantly worked in the theatre and they were obsessed by theatre and storytelling. She also said my first proper agent was because she was my mum's best friend and she stole my agent today. What? Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Her agent, her Hollywood agent, the one who would have booked her on... Is her mum's friend? Yeah, it's her mum's friend. Booked her on the Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates of the Caribbean. I got nervous that she wasn't on Pirates of the Caribbean. I always get her and Natalie Portman confused. She got that gig Pirates of the Caribbean when she was like 21.
Starting point is 00:20:52 You and I found out the other day that she got love actually when she was 17. And did it like Beckham when she was 17. Yeah, she did that in the same year. And then after that, maybe she was even 20 when she landed Pirates of the Caribbean. She was a nipo, she was a baby nipo baby back then. Yeah. Yeah. For those who don't know,
Starting point is 00:21:12 Nepo Baby is short for nepotism baby, which refers to someone whose career is related to the career in which a parent succeeded and is usually used negatively. Oh, okay. So Sabrina Carpenter doesn't count then. No, Sabrina Carpenter doesn't really count. Here's a fun game.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Name a nepo baby that is more talented and more successful than their parent. I can name one easily. Okay. Miley Cyrus. Oh, more talented and successful than Billy Ray Cyrus. Yeah, just. You reckon.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Billy Ray Cyrus. No, I love Billy Ray Cyrus's Nickelodeon show. Billy Ray Cyrus, the amount of talent, Miley has this same talent as her dad in her pinky finger. Are the Barrett brothers, the All Blacks Neppo babies, because their dad was a representative football player for Taranaki? Technically. So are they nipo babies?
Starting point is 00:22:11 Kind of. If your dad was an all black and you're an all black, are you a nepo baby? Yeah. And there's heaps of those. That would mean Caleb Clark is a nepo baby as well. But you've still got to have the talent, you know? Yeah. I feel like it's a little bit different, like when it comes to sports.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Is that? Yeah, because it doesn't matter if your dad is Richie McCaw. Yeah. Like let's say you suck. they're not going to put you on the all-blacks just because your dad is Richie McCaw. I don't know, they let Mick Schumacher have a drive for a couple of years, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:22:44 Oh yeah, that is true. Yeah, they did too. But that's also to do with money. Yeah, exactly right. Oh, that's part of the Nepo Baby lifestyle, isn't that? I was wondering if we could talk to some Nepo Babies this afternoon and you don't have to be famous. We want to talk to people
Starting point is 00:22:59 who can admit that they only have their job or career or life because of their parents. Yeah. And you're willing to admit it, you know? And we will respect that. Like if you, Bree Thomas L, were an Apple mogul, then you would be a Nepo baby, wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:23:17 I would. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I could never follow in my dad's footsteps because people would just compare me to my dad. Exactly. They'd say, oh, she's just in this industry because of her dad. If I was still working at BP, I would be a Nepo baby
Starting point is 00:23:32 because people would be like, oh, you only got that job at BP because of your dad. And I did. I did. He paved the way for you. The ZM Podcast Network. Karen Knightley has come out and gone,
Starting point is 00:23:43 yeah, I'm a nepo baby. My dad's an actor. My mom's a writer. My manager is my mom's best friend. I'm a nepo baby. And we realize that a nepo baby just means your parents have to work. They were successful in the same thing that you do.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Correct. That's what a nepo baby is. That's the definition. Yeah. But if you become more successful than them, Do you break the NEPO stereotype? Do you have to break through the glass ceiling of your parents? I don't know either.
Starting point is 00:24:12 So we're asking people to self-identify as Nipo babies this afternoon, and Billy wants to do it. Hi, Billy. Hi, Billy. How are you going? We're good. What makes you a Nipo baby, Billy? I'm a third-generation doll bludger.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Billy. I'm definitely earning a bit more than my granddad. Because they put the doll up. Yeah, I see what you say. Is this a bit or you're dead serious, Billy? No, I'm just meeting what you guys. Hey, I appreciated the bit. I was like, this could actually be legit.
Starting point is 00:24:49 And then I was going to ask you, how much are you getting on the doll these days? I wouldn't even know. I appreciated that, Billy. That was good gear, Billy. Well done. Molly's here. Hi, Molly.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Hi, Molly. Are you a Nippo baby? Yep. Why? What do you do? So, like, pretty much my dad plays Dodgball for New Zealand. He's, like, the founder of the biggest dodge ball tournament in the world. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:15 And because of it, like, I get on really good teams and, like, get to go away a lot of places because of him. Hell, yeah, Molly. How's your arm, Molly? Nah, it's good. I'm still young, so I'm not injured. Hell yeah. You're riding your dad's dodgeball. into the Dodgeball world.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Do you know the 5Ds of Dodgeball? Dodge, dip, duck, dive and... Dodge. Dodge is the last one as well. Gosh. I haven't even watched the movie. What? Put it on.
Starting point is 00:25:50 You and your dad will love it. We're asking, are you a Nipbo baby and can you admit it? Someone said, my dad got me my first job at Bunnings. I think it was so that he could get better service. Then a couple of years later, he hired me. me as an apprentice for the builders, the company that he had, and seven years later, I'm still here.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Okay, Nipo Baby. What about the person that texts through and said, Christopher Luxon, the PM, he's a NEPO baby? How? I don't know. Was Christopher Lutzen's dad prime minister as well? I don't think so. How's he a Nipo baby?
Starting point is 00:26:25 I'd love to know. I don't think that he is. I'm a NEPO baby. I work as a medical receptionist with my mum as the practice manager. that's good um someone said isn't the majority of farmers in new zealand nepo babies they all farm because their parents slash grandparents did yeah kind of i guess if you're inheriting the farm yeah yeah yeah so anyone who runs the family business does that make you a nepo baby yeah kind of my sons aren't nepo babies but i hope they become nepo babies because i want them to play for the
Starting point is 00:26:56 warriors like their dad did who's their warrior dad that's pretty cool that's cool they said but we will love them, whatever they decide to do when they're older. P.S.

Starting point is 00:33:53 Exactly. Play Z-Dems, Brie and Call. Hey, if you're after an inspiring story this afternoon, which pretty much it's all about age is just a number, then listen up. I've got one for you. This is super inspiring. It's about a woman named Betty Kellenberger. She's 80 years old currently. And this year, she completed the Appalachian Trail.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Oh, the Appalachian Trail. Is it Appalachian? Yeah, through the Appalachian Mountains. You know how far it is? No. So I think you complete it over 12 months. It's 3,535 kilometers. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:41 That is incredible. It is, yeah. As an 80-year-old woman, she's the oldest person ever to complete the trail. She got the record. She didn't even know that she got the record until she'd finished. How far did you say it was? 3,535 kilometres. It's only 1,070 kilometres from Auckland to Christchurch.
Starting point is 00:35:05 So she's walked to Christchurch, walked back to Auckland, and then walked back to Christchurch again. What, how many kilometres did you say? Thousand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:15 It's a long way. The story gets even more inspiring, though, because this isn't the first time she tried to complete it. Her first attempt, or I believe she started training back in 2022. She lives in a small town in Michigan. There's no mountains in her town, so she would climb the staircase at the local hospital. Awesome. She'd go up and down, up and down.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Anyway, she then embarked on the actual trail, and she had a hiking partner with her by the name of Joe Cox. She suffered serious setbacks. Sorry, who? Joe Cox. Cool. checking. She got Lyme disease on her first attempt.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Okay. Bad dehydration and she also suffered a concussion. Wow. So she had to bail on that attempt. She bailed on that one after, I believe she slipped on a rock and she did a face plant and she got a concussion and so they decided we need to start this again. Yeah. We need to regroup. In 2023 she started the hike again and near the midpoint of her hike.
Starting point is 00:36:29 So she was like halfway through. She fell again and she had to go home. I probably quit at that stage. I'm 78. Right. I've just fallen on the Appalachian Trail for the second time. It gets even more inspiring. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Her trail partner, Joe Cox, you remember him. Shout out. How could I forget? U.S. Navy veteran was dealing with health challenges so he couldn't come. and he later passed away. Oh, what? He passed away and then she decided, right, I'm going to have to do this on my own. So then she decided.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Go coxless. He passed away, unfortunately. Yeah, okay. And then she decided, yeah, she would do it on her own. And she did. She's done it. Completed it on her own by herself at 80 years old. God.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Makes me feel like my dad is just so lazy by comparison. You know? He doesn't want. walk anywhere. Your dad would, he's still doing things. A 3,000 kilometre through the Appalachian Mountains. Imagine, I would be.
Starting point is 00:37:34 She's made of different stuff. Imagine, do you want to see a picture of her? I know people listening can't see, but this is her 80 years old. What a legend. If that was my mum, shit, I'd be proud. Yeah. I mean, I'm proud of my mum anyway.
Starting point is 00:37:47 No, you're not. Not compared to this. You were, and then you read about this one. Yeah, ma'am, why can't you do the Appalachian? trail. Tab to make ZM your number one preset on our free IHart app. Z&Fleatman Haley. In the afternoon, I know.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Crazy, right? Good to be here, though. I feel refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the day. You're looking good, Vaughn. Oh, so hot on. I'll just pull my beard up. I've grown my beard in more fuller. What do you think?

Starting point is 00:43:51 Would you avoid me or would you look for me too? Bree. In a room for the people I look for you. Would you avoid me or would you look for me too? Clint. Someone texted and said, I just turned my car on when Bree's one was already halfway through. And I had no context for what I was hearing.
Starting point is 00:44:16 And I thought, man, they really do let just anybody make music these days. So we go to the vote. Five people standing by on 0800 dial Z.M. Sarah is here. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, guys. What did you think of our somber?
Starting point is 00:44:34 Yeah, I love that song, and I would definitely vote for Brie. You're voting for me? Yes. Oh, bloody. You did a great job. Good show, Sarah. Thanks, mate. Thanks, Sarah.
Starting point is 00:44:46 You have a great weekend. Let's go to Sky on 0800 dials at M. Hi, Sky. Hi, Sky. Hi. What did you think about Friday Oakey this week? Um, I reckon you are both decent compared to what you usually sound like. Oh, thanks, Guy. Yeah, good, good.
Starting point is 00:45:01 We'll take that feedback, thank you. Who was decent her? Who are you going to vote for? I have to go with Bree as well. Bree? Really? Okay, I'll take that, Sky. You have a good weekend. I hate it when I get this feedback. Clint, I get it regularly. Clint sounds like he's straining to poo.
Starting point is 00:45:18 That's because quite often you are constipated. That is not true. Hunter is here to vote. Hi, Hunter. Hi, Hunter. Hi. It could be all done in three, depending on how you vote. I'm shocked, can I say?
Starting point is 00:45:30 Hunter, what did you think of our Somba for Friday Oakee? It's okay. That's good. Okay is better than awful. Who are you voting for, Hunter? I'm going to explain. Yeah, boy. That's what I was thinking, too.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Thanks, Hunter. You have a great weekend, okay? Okay, thank you. See you, Hunter. 2-1 to Brie. Renée's here. Hi, Renee. Hi, Renee.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Oh, can I pull off a miracle here? What do you think? Well, my thoughts are that Clint was singing louder so you could hear him. And Bree, she's just kind of an amazing voice, but she needs to be louder so we can actually hear her music. Okay, so I was loud but bad, and Bree was good but quiet. Okay. So I'm going to actually do with Clint because I could hear him. Yeah, that makes sense, Renee.
Starting point is 00:46:22 That makes sense. I love that feedback. We're at tie break and it's all come down to Bridget. Kiyota, Bridget. Hi, Bridget. Kiota, how are you? We're good, thank you, Bridget. We need your feedback and then you vote.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Oh, first I've got to say, long-time listener, first time. Well, that second. First time. Go, Bridget. Go, Bridget. Go, Bridget. Oh, that time you called through. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Tell me about it. My daughter's already spoken to you three times. Oh, my God. Where have you been, Bridget? Bridget. Under that rock, I tell you. Put us out of our misery, bridge. Who are you going to vote for in Friday Oakey this week to win it?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Oh, look, I've got to say, I'm usually on your side, but today you've burned it to stick it after that song. It is three all the way. Yeah. In the room for the people I love for you, would you avoid me? Or would you like you like you too? We've got 50 KFC chicken dillers. you, Bridget, wait there, okay? Oh, fantastic.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Legend. Well done, Bree. Thank you. I felt like I was shocked to get any votes this week if I'm on. Good but quiet, loud but bad. That was my favourite feedback. Oh, man. I love that feedback from Renee.

Starting point is 00:53:04 They just had that one here? It's this. They made it their own. Oh, this is a fantastic song. Yeah. You tell me, Bree, if what I'm about to tell you about my wife's 40th birthday present... Mm-hmm. What have you done?
Starting point is 00:53:28 I haven't done anything. It's just... It's not the romantic... Because I know her birthdays in like 10 days. Yeah, it is. So have you organised something? Kind of. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:53:38 Kind of. Let me give you a quick backstory. And you tell me if all the romance has finally left my relationship. Okay. Okay. So my wife's turning 40. You're who? My wife.
Starting point is 00:53:48 My wife is turning 40, okay? Significant birthday. Yeah, big birthday. And I have been planning on getting her a nice piece of jewelry to commemorate. Lovely. Her 40th birthday that I can give her from me and the girls. Yeah, I was going to spend some money on it and it's going to be nice. Outside of that, she has, so her wedding ring is gold.
Starting point is 00:54:14 And I don't know if you know that sometimes you can start having a reaction to gold. and it started to like react with her finger and she can't really wear her wedding ring anymore because it's giving her like irritated skin underneath it so she's been kind of looking for like a cocktail ring like a cheapy imitation ring to wear in place of her wedding ring
Starting point is 00:54:36 right you know but just get a cheapie that looks nice anyway she hasn't been able to find anything good and she got this one that arrived and it's kind of shit and she doesn't like it but I'm looking at buying her a ring at the moment for a 40th birthday. Oh, so that's the thing that you wanted to get her before this? Yeah, I was going to get her a ring for her 40th.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Yep. And she told me about the ring situation that she's having. And I said to her, well, I'm planning on getting you a ring for your birthday anyway. Do you want to just use the money that I was going to spend on a ring for your birthday to get yourself a better ring, not a cocktail ring? go and get yourself a better ring. And that can be, that can solve both problems. Then you've got your replacement ring
Starting point is 00:55:22 and then you've got your 40th birthday ring and you get one that you actually want. Is that practical or lazy? It's very practical. Yes. Like maybe almost too practical. Yeah. Because it's her 40th.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Yes. Do you know what I'm saying? Yes. And it takes the, that special... It takes the specialness and the surprise out of it. It takes the specialness and the surprise out of it. No, does it take the specialness out of it? It takes the surprise out of it.
Starting point is 00:55:48 The specialness, in my opinion, when you go, here, I'll give you the money and you go pick the ring. That takes the specialness out of it. Yes, I agree. But she knows what she wants and she knows that she will pick a better ring than I will. True. So she does get what she wants. Yes, which I know your wife and I know that's the way she likes it. And you never had to buy an engagement ring.
Starting point is 00:56:17 No, she's got a family heirloom ring. So you never had to do the work. You never had to panic about if it was right. No, I knew which one she wanted and I just got it from her auntie. Yeah, it was just, here's the ring and you gave it to it. Yeah. And so I feel like you're a bit like... All right, I took her out to dinner and stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:56:34 I didn't just chuck a old ring at her. Come on. Anyway, yes, I know what you're saying. Do you know what I'm saying? So I feel like you haven't had even that moment where I think this is your time to step up. Oh, God. Okay. And if it goes badly, yes. Don't say
Starting point is 00:56:50 to her that this is the advice that I gave you. I don't want to be involved. But I've already told her this. I've already told her she can have the ring budget to go and get herself a ring. So are you saying, there's two options here. Are you saying that I take the budget back and go, no, no, I'm buying the ring? Or
Starting point is 00:57:06 do I have to buy another ring? I think you buy another ring. One that you pick. And then she gets the ring she wants. but then she also, you keep the romance alive because you've gone out and you have picked a ring yourself. Then she gets the ring she wants and she also gets a ring from me. That she can take back if she wants to. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Claudia, what do you think? I feel like you should take her with you. Like you should be there and make a whole moment out of it and bring the romance back that way. So you're still buying it for her, but you're there. You can take her there, you go for lunch. That's the same as her picking it. Yeah, definitely, but it's... It brings a little bit of romance back.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Or... I know that she doesn't want that, but that's a nice thought. Or you completely do like a 180 and you get something else. Like a toe ring. Yes. Or a belly chain. Yeah, a little belly chain. A little ankle.
